>Bahnhof verstehen (transl. to understand "train station") derives from the German language idiomatic phrase "Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof" – I only/just understand "train station" – meaning to not be able, or perhaps not willing, to understand what is being said. It has the equivalent meaning to the English language idiom "It's all Greek to me".[1]

The curious case of the "... rest of this stuff it's English to me." reported as been said by a greek in the US:

> Firmware often decreases the quality of life. See Intel remote management/backdoor mechanism for example.

IME is a bad example here. That's an entire upgradeable MINIX OS embedded in your system - if it was really firmware, Intel would not be able to update it, or you be able to neuter it.
I don't think Magic leap is out of the game yet. Microsoft, Meta, and Apple are all coming to the AR table though, and they're probably also spending boatloads on the problem. They're trying to create new hardware technology here.

I think they'll probably continue to be a player to some degree, it's just hard for me to picture what the AR competitive landscape is going to look like for the consumer space. Everything we've seen so far is pretty expensive and lackluster.
There are also threats to the lives of those protesting the government, as well as those who are simply Muslim. In that respect, Nupur is no different from those she attacked, aside from her having exceptional powers to defend herself.

As for your question, how about actual, official government consequences for her actions, similar to the ones the government imposes on similar offenses committed by Indian people of Muslim faith?
I'm not sure why it is 'virtually certain'. It seems very likely to me that a company, which takes payments as a funding model, could exist with end 2 end and be a legitimate business.

Do you have any source at all to back a claim like that?
Potentially silly question (I'll go out on a limb anyway).

I would like to create a multi-platform app for non-technical users where their data is transparently self-contained/self-hosted. So, they open a single binary and it presents them with a UI, and the data created from within the app would be stored in their local PocketBase database. However, I wouldn't want the user to have to start a server directly (they wouldn't know what a server is).

So, I think the binary would have to start both the PocketBase server and a front-end server, and then launch a browser (similar to Electron) pointed to their front-end server's port.

Does this sound like a good approach? What could you recommend to orchestrate this seamlessly to make for a simple user experience when launching the app?

Thank you.
In my experience we’ve hit bottom when everyone agrees we haven’t yet hit bottom. Which seems to be around now. In other words everyone who was going to sell has already sold. Unless more surprise bad news comes out.
Yeah, if you live in a city, you're conditioned to ignore people trying to get your attention. Nothing is free. Don't believe it. I remember one time my little brother from my tiny hometown was visiting me in LA and I warned him to ignore the guy with the CDs. Don't let him put it in your hand and avoid eye contact. Told my sister the same thing but she didn't believe me and lost 20$ to a shitty mixtape in a millisecond. Those guys are slick. haha
Would not surprise me that EE is also way more offputting it due to the amount of rigor, and dedicated practice required to get anywhere with it - just to graduate is a serious undertaking.

Contrast this with bootcamps and everything else that is involved when it comes to software jobs. I've seen many people weaseling through this. Maybe it's the same with EE to some degree, but I imagine these people get filtered out at a much greater pace than their SE/Web Dev counterparts.
Intentionally set impossible deadlines? I've had one boss, but it was the classic 'set hard deadlines so we move fast, but don't communicate those deadlines outside until we know the real date'.

The rest of your description? I would leave immediately, I don't need to wait for unemployment or waste my time in such a toxic environment.
Putting a sqlite db in a git repo doesn't work well, it's just an opaque blob to git so you can't merge changes beyond "wipe out every other change and accept this as the new complete state of the world".
weird. the page briefly loads and then goes to a full screen 404 page for me.
If anyone cares, I actually like a lot of the vaporwave/outrun/whatever it's called now stuff when coding.

I can listen to music with lyrics when I'm writing code, but not when I'm reading. So coding calls for metal or hip-hop for me most of the time, but reading usually demands synthwave, darkwave, horrowave, retrowave, classical, etc. If I'm sitting at my electronics bench working on hardware stuff, I particularly like to do the "put on a movie that I've seen so many times that I won't get drawn into paying attention to it" thing. Lately I've been using Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Hackers, Sneakers, etc. for that.
I think we do need a language like this, and that Zig/Odin/Myrddin/etc have the issue of having a syntax too different from C (Zig being the least offending; Hare is okay but perhaps a bit too minimal). This is great. Are there plans for a package manager? What's the target stdlib size?

That said, I'm not a big fan of the naming. It irrationally feels kinda hard to justify using a language called "C3" (and I also irrationally like cute names and mascots like Hare has).

I made http://divjoy.com, which lets you assemble blocks into a multi-page web app and then export as a React/Node codebase. Works best if you want the backend in Node, but you can swap out for your own API.
What are some patterns that can be used to implement this?

I can think of using a Rule Engine but not sure if there are any performant ones and they don't seem to be used much.
If you want a mechanical keyboard, you should probably carry your own, as even the "mechanical" keyboards on laptops like the Eluktronics Mech 15 are IMO pretty lackluster. The NuPhy Air 75 fits exactly over the keyboard deck, btw, so that'd be my recommendation (replaced an Anne Pro I was using, which felt better, but was much bulkier. A Keychron low-profile might work as well, but I can't confirm whether it'll sit on the deck properly or not w/o having to disable the built-in keyboard.

In terms of the built-in keyboard feel, it's adequate. I would say that it reminds me of the keyboards on early-2000s Apple TiBooks. For the previous gen (and in my copy as well) there were reports of slight unevenness of the keyboard deck, although it was more of a curiousity than an actual issue in day-to-day use.
Great question, PoS actually has stronger guarantees against double-spending than PoW does. For PoW you just need to temporarily rent enough hashpower to do a mild reorg.

PoS has a concept called "block finality", where once a block has been marked finalized it cannot be reorged without committing to getting slashed for 1/3 of total staked ether (several billion dollars). Blocks typically get finalized after 6 minutes. This is possible because you can explicitly check whether validators have voted (attested) for two separate blocks at the same chain height.
I've heard this description before, but I've never seen a cover-less book before. I've seen plenty of books that's become detached from they covers, but not missing entirely.

If the task at hand were considered to be bowling pins at the end of a lane, and the ball rolling down the lane is me working towards completing that task, music is the lane bumpers that keep me focused and working towards the objective. Otherwise, every noise, conversation, and item on my desk would throw my focus (the bowling ball) into the gutter.

Isn’t backprop just reverse-mode AD, which has been around since the 60’s? I get the impression that a lot of physicists and scientific computing researchers have been rolling their eyes at various ML “breakthroughs” over the years.
but you make it public for everybody with the publicly accessible login so it wouldn't be considered private data for the same reason news outlets can use your instagram images and share it widely without your permission.

you can't throw up a login screen but then allow people to post themselves that ends up in public domain because the login does not distinguish from public or permissioned user authorized to view your selfie pics.
Sigstore is pretty useful on it's own as a way to sign and verify software, but it can also be used to build higher level applications like this one.

Happy to answer questions!
Depends if another user can also access it, or whether the original author/owner of the data in question intends for it to be public. In Facebook's case, there are permission levels you can set on posts, including a "public" option (which isn't actually public though and will require a login anyway, but it can be any login) which would settle that debate quickly - hell I wouldn't be surprised if that option were to be hidden as to not acknowledge that a particular bit of data was explicitly posted for everyone to see.
There's no reason to require polyticians to be technicians, and no reason to expect less formally-educated people to be more anti nuclear (except in the presence of massive disinformation campaigns). Requirements for formal education just select for conservative and obedient people - and we put them on the leaders (we got it backwards!). The US seems to kind of got it a bit more right, but it's probably just circus.

Technocratic politics doesn't work in practice (ask USSR), and there should be no requirements of formal education on politicians (not even non technical). But politicians and administrators do need to (re)learn fast on-the-lob so in practice an IQ test requirement would be great for them and probably for them only (yes, IQ measures well only how fast someone can learn something and not at all how good is someone at doing something after they've learned it, but, guess what... knowing and (re)learning fast about stuff they don't actually do is kind of the job requirement for politicians and administrators - an 145 IQ high-school-dropout with or without some alchol or substance issues is kind of the best person for a job like Prime Minister, Energy or Finance Minister etc.).

Oh, and on the active (we know their effects, so they must exist) campaigns of disinformation against known to work tech, there's a solution for that: laws for spreading false-facts and disinformation + throwing in jail people breaking them. Glue your ass on the highway or spread misinformation on facebook fueling anti-nuclear protests: how about a 5 years prison sentence baby?

As a society we're so f terrible at allocating human resources, that it's no wonder that other resources like those involved in energy production are massively missalocated too...
People that are criticizing this probably were also critical of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, but it would be useful to compare what happened there and here.

With Cambridge Analytica:

- Facebook allowed users (with informed consent) to allow external developers to access their data and limited data about their friends, in order to build social-enabled apps.

- CA exploited this to scrape basic profile data from a large number of users. It broke the ToS by doing so (in particular by using the data for purposes different than stated)

Here the same is happening:

- people are giving a third company access to their profile, which includes access to friends' data (in fact a lot more than what the app platform allowed to do)

- the company is scraping all the data.

At the time of CA, the criticism was that Facebook didn't do enough to enforce its ToS (or maybe that the data sharing should have not been allowed in the first place? But the terms were common knowledge and the attack potential became clear only in hindsight), here people are criticizing that Facebook is in fact enforcing its ToS.

Also note that strong enforcement against scraping is one of the mandates that came from the FTC settlement.

It seems inevitable that any news about Facebook/Meta is read in the worst possible light these days, even when the criticism is self-contradictory. I would expect less superficial commentary from HN.
We are probably passed the low of the market.
That is a very good point, but surely it was taken into consideration when scraping was declared legal?
You have 60 days to file (in writing by mail, in my case) once you leave your previous job, I didn't have enough time between jobs to really need it, emergency happens + a few weeks of recovery time where I'm incapable of basically doing anything, I get a few bills, I pay them, start working at my new job, get more and much larger bills, now I'm ineligible for Cobra. Not that it would have mattered with that insurer anyway in my case.

I've been involved in two projects that use LiveView and both of them have similar path.

First, engineers build application using just LiveView and it works just fine. You click a link you have table with your data, you click button you have filtered table, click another link you see a chart.

But then UX concerns are raised from PO/PM/users. Users find it jarring that they need to wait a little to see a loading spinner on clicked button. And we litter our views with some alpine.js DSL in attributes or load stimulus controllers. Some stuff is moved to hooks and kept in ad-hoc global variables.

Finally, most of the live views evolve into single html node, with mini-SPA written in some lightweight javascript framework. And everything is wired with phoenix websocket.

LiveView is still a fantastic and very productive tool to quickly create applications but I'm not sure if it scales to users expectations.
For a lot of people in (senior) management, their primary skill is bullying other people to do their job for them, get things done their way, get it done faster, etc. It's not some unfortunate personality issue that they could stop doing, it's a core part of how they operate.

Of course, explicit bullying and abuse are not acceptable, so these people are also experts in plausible deniability, implying things but not writing them down explicitly, going right up to the line but not over it, talking about work-life balance while setting the impossible deadlines, etc.

Unfortunately it's not an accident, so you have to learn to deal with it, and to some extent reciprocate, it's never going to go away.
Yes because I want to do offline sync (i.e. latency between syncs anything between 1 second and 1 week), yet index and query the current local state (which includes previously synced items).

If this sounds like an append-only log that's precisely correct; I just want it to work efficiently with fixed memory and ideally as an embedded library. Thus sqlite.
Older Sony Bravia TVs that just barely met the specs for streaming applications had to go through such roundabout ways to actually stream the content. They did not support the latest streaming standards (DASH/HLS) and basically had to stream raw MP4 files. They were a very exceptional case device at least at Prime Video. Newer devices obviously supported the regular streaming standards.

At this point (and even 5 years ago), getting a little streaming HDMI stick will provide an infinitely better customer experience for a ~$35 investment. Most smart TVs just don't have a great user experience compared to the devices designed around that.
If this is true, I think I'll talk to my boss tomorrow about getting Roblox banned on our student systems.
All British governments see regular resignations of ministers with the cited reasons always being policy disagreements or dishonourable behavior. You seem to believe the last time it happened was 1954 but that's not correct. Look at this graph of ministerial resignations by Prime Minister (second on the page):

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/boris-s-premiership-in-s...

All PMs regardless of Party experience continuous attrition of ministers, because being willing to resign from a government job for moral or policy reasons is considered a fundamental part of the honor code of being MP.

Exactly. As it is labelled as owner tree, Porsche (the Porsche and Piesch families) owns VW and all its subsidiaries, esp. Audi.

But technically Audi owns the whole group. VW doesn't plan and design the engines, gearboxes and cars, Audi does. VW is more a logistics and SW company now, just with a big brand name, with the cheaper "Audis" labelled as VW.
I was never much of an ed user but I did a lot of stuff in EDLIN on PC DOS 3.1. Ed seems a little more powerful and useful.

With 512K of RAM on a 6MHz 80286, using an editor that fit into one "segment" and loaded quickly from a floppy was nice. The original DOS 1.0 edlin was just over 2K.

Of course, we had printed manuals back then, and you could learn EDLIN with the manual on your lap while you typed commands.
Yeah... I'm about as far to the other side of this as you can get.

It really looks like the x-html attribute you're complaining about is just using plain old javascript. It takes a statement that resolves to a string, and renders that.

The statement they provided happens to be pretty terrible for docs (I would have just used the built in fetch api, instead of the axios networking library - https://github.com/axios/axios), but it's plain old js regardless.

Your example is some custom fucking DSL that I have NO idea what it's doing. When does it run? how does it handle errors? What is the base url? What happens to the original text? How does it auth? What if I needed to post, or put, or delete? It's an entire fucking language I have to learn on top of the actual css/html/js knowledge required to understand this. In almost all cases, you're better off just learning "plain old javascript" since that skillset travels with you everywhere.

basically: DO NOT MAKE ME LEARN YOUR FUCKING DSL. It's wasted time and effort for me, and learning it provides absolutely zero benefits outside of your library. Further - it will fucking leak, and then you're right back at writing plain old js again, but now you have to understand the intimate details of the library implementing the dsl to tweak the right spots.

Even alpine turns me off a bit here (it's still a dsl, even if most of it reverts to plain old js) - but at least they're incredibly up front about the total time investment to learn the dsl (15 attrs, 6 props, 2 methods). HTMX is like 5 times the size (https://htmx.org/reference/), so I assume roughly 20 times the effort to learn the DSL.
For real homebrew stuff that no one else is going to see, Flask with plain HTML. If someone else might actually see it, django and vue with one of the quickstart css things (Bootstrap, tailwind).
Did you read the first paragraph? I’m talking about a Twitch streamer. People aren’t “paying for relationships”, they’re subscribing to get rid of ads and support the streamer, even though some expect a bit more.

The streamer won’t reciprocate because it is a random unknown person coming on a text chat claiming they’re in love with them. I don’t think this ever worked ever, but if you need further proof, she told me for a fact she won’t reciprocate.
It was neither approving or sarcastic. It was simply the explaination for the supposedly unfathomable state of affairs.

I don't say I like it or that it's reasonable or fair, it wasn't approving.

It's not sarcastic because it's literally the actual explaination.
> just because two workflows shared some similarities. Usually I find this happening with hardcore OO programmers or bored programmers who feel the need to start creating and don't know when to stop. I prefer boring code at this stage in my career.

As a Haskeller, when I do this it's about getting certain guarantees about the semantics of related workflows and knowing they must behave the same in X, Y, and Z.

This aids in reasoning about inevitable production issues.

I find boring code easy to modify but hard to reason about from a higher level and that it typically requires nastier solutions to maintain backwards compatibility.

That last point is contradicted by this posts example though, so it has me reflecting on things.
well, that's the question. how would such an announcement have been received?

i expect the response would not have been much different really, so the only difference is that the response happens several months after the move, which now makes it a fait accompli.

trying to put myself into poetterings shoes the difference to me would mean that, if questioned, i could talk more confidently about why i made the move, pointing at how it affected my work, instead of speculating about it. it would also give me time to acclimate myself to the new situation.

so keeping the move quiet simply makes it easier to deal with any negative responses.
Nothing to do with wealth but priority.

People will dine at fine restaurant as a treat.
People will travel to the Bahamas as a treat.
People will buy a SUV for comfort as a treat.

All those things are luxuries, and have nothing to do with wealth.
If you "buy" a digital asset, you should be given legal cover to "pirate" it as a backup to protect against this possibility.
So far my managers in engineering have been pretty good. I am what you would probably call a typical gen z "job hop for TC increase" bay area stereotype; I have had something like a dozen+ bosses so far and none were particularly terrible. The ones asking for impossible deadlines knew what they were asking for (and apologised for it, saying it came from higher up and was obviously dumb), I've written complete things then "oh we've changed direction", but nothing that would actually be insulting or anger management. This is just IC level though so I'm sure I'm missing out on some clown parties way higher up.

When I worked retail, almost every manager was an abomination. None would ever be willing to fight for you in any situation, most were abusive, and any time you told a customer some well documented policy and they screamed about it, your manager would be first in line to override policy and tell them how they were going to fire you for not putting the customer first. I had two supervisors punch holes through walls and one throw merchandise at employees. We were kids, but there was a sense of solidarity amongst the non-management that I don't think I frequently see in tech.

There is some literature out there about pure RO water not being great for you.

My anecdote: I have been purchasing RO water from the local grocery store for quite some time because I dislike the taste of my tap water after softening. For a long while I drank the RO water as-is. When I started adding mineral drops to the water, I felt a lot better.
