Thats not quite the analogy, and the differences are important.

If twitter was a house he was buying, the analogy is he waived his right to a house inspection and highlighted that fact in numerous ways to attain either a more favorable price (since there won't be post-deal negotiation on anything he finds and decides to argue) or to make Twitter more likely to accept. Or a combination of both. And in addition to that, in your offer to buy the house you also made legally binding statements that "I have been able to inquire about anything I might be concerned with about the home, and have been given answers and opportunity to find my answers on those questions, and as a result I am fully satisfied with how that transpired".

The only possible way to then get a home inspection is that you also included a clause that the deal is contingent on a loan being used and its possible that the loan may require certain information or processes. Now, if as a side-effect of getting that loan, a home inspection is required and if that home inspection causes the _bank_ to back out of financing then that is now possibly a cause to break the contract. Even this isnt fully accurate in this case though. Because there were specific guarantees and public statements made around financing that 1) the financing is already lined up (i.e. not contingent on an inspection) and 2) even if that fell through Musk would have the available capital to close the deal.
You probably need ~10k hours in programming in general. Just a lot of the skill transfers over in that case.
I will be keeping an eye on this one. Not because I will use it but because I suspect it will be abused. If this was only used for the people with the genetic disorder that causes extraordinarily high cholesterol to be produced, then I think its a great idea and quite an accomplishment. If on the other hand, just as with statin drugs, it is used on people that produce less than 4 grams of cholesterol per day in their liver and becomes another artificially booming business then we must at it to the list.
> Which is wrong. Response codes say nothing about the body.

Actually, that's not correct. A response code can say a fair bit about the body, especially about whether it exists or not, but in some cases also the nature of the body. For example, a 203 says that the body of this request is not the same as the body sent by the origin server. A 204 tells the user agent that there's no body. 400s and 500s SHOULD have a body which includes an explanation of the error.

(Author here). I don't know enough about computational geometry to say anything intelligent here, but there has been a lot of progress in triangulation since 1985. The algorithm described here wasn't even state-of-the-art back then in the case that all your points are known up-front -- Guibas & Stolfi describe a separate O(nlog(n)) algorithm that also starts by sorting, and which can be parallelized, unlike the incremental approach. The sweep-hull algorithm doesn't seem parallelizable, but I have not actually read the papers so take that with a grain of salt.
I was curious as well. I think this answers the question:

https://vitejs.dev/guide/why.html#why-not-bundle-with-esbuil...

> While esbuild is blazing fast and is already a very capable bundler for libraries, some of the important features needed for bundling applications are still work in progress - in particular code-splitting and CSS handling. For the time being, Rollup is more mature and flexible in these regards. That said, we won't rule out the possibility of using esbuild for production build when it stabilizes these features in the future.
I don't think Unity will die until another Game engine adopts something similar to C#.

A lot of indie teams don't want to write c++.
> I've had more time to think about this. Unity effectively has a golden goose of an ecosystem right now and they're about to murder it with boardroom bullshit. How much energy was spent on this merger that could have been redirected to doubling-down on the tech stack? Multiplayer could really use some more attention, IMO.

I see your point, but in a way I think this merger makes sense to prioritize. I would argue the majority of their user base is using the engine in its current form for mobile development. Unfortunately Unity doesn't have a golden goose like fortnight to draw revenue while they are internally improving the engine. It stands to reason if they can draw in more revenue from ads from their pre-existing user base they have more money to keep them afloat when times are tough while they continue engine improvements.

To be honest I don't like it. I would much rather they double down on fixing the engine and solidifying preexisting solutions. But I do think there might be a method to their madness.

You might be right though, it might just be boardroom bullshit haha. I'm still holding out hope. And in the meantime I'm going to diversify my engine knowledge.
Finnish spells California as Kalifornia, translates e.g. North Dakota to Pohjois-Dakota, Hawaii is Havaiji, and so on. Regions do get translated too, but not as often.

It's a question of "how often do we need to mention this name"; only commonly mentioned get a translation or familiar-alphabet-munging.

Other countries needing to talk about provinces is more rare.
If your memory doesn’t include the global pandemic that shut down global supply chains then I wouldn’t be calling attention to it.

> or useless in comparison to centralized alternatives

Filecoin may not be centralised the same as AWS but they are centralised in other ways.

Any time you have a project like this with $250+ million in VC investment there is going to be an inherent conflict in their goals and motivations versus other contributors to the project.

It's like Spark, MongoDB, Cassandra etc. Yes they are open-source. But the billion dollar companies that are behind them hold all the cards and will win against any attempt to take the project in a direction they don't like.
As of today, unity is worth 10-12bi, Ironsrc intended to go public at around 11bi last year, now they are being acquired at 4.4bi. Ironsrc main competitor, AppLovin is worth 12bi.
Ironsrc 2021 revenue was 553m, Unity revenue was 1.1bi. However, Ironsrc had a net income of 21m and Unity had a net loss of 531m. Both hold around 0.7bi and 1bi in cash respectively.

So is Ironsrc much smaller? I do not think so.
As a community HN has a strong normalcy bias to the point where they will flag and down vote comments and articles that challenge it too much. The worst something can be admitted to be is "not great now, but we'll have a fix in soon". In general this community is blind to any of the major systemic issue we are facing that are likely to forever decrease our quality of live.

I'm reminded of an interview with a few years back with the mayor of Tangier, an island which is visibly sinking off the coast of Virginia. In one instance the mayor points to a part of the sea where a community playground used to be, and when asked about climate change, without skipping a beat, replies that he just doesn't see any evidence for it.

That was a few years back now, and it was then I realized that for a certain subset of the population, no matter how real the decline of our civilization is, they will never see it. The Hoover dam could stop running from the emptying of lake mead, we could have global crop failures and being living with intermittent power outages, all of us living lives that are unquestionably worse off than 10 years ago and people in the community would still be decrying that everything was media sensationalism (even though the media rarely reports on anything being as dire as it is).
404 is consistent with the way a HTTP server works if what you build is not a dynamic app but a static website.

If you try to request a file `/public/pdfs/100.pdf` and that does not exists what does the server respond? 404

What the server responds if you try `/public/dpdfs/1.pdf`? Still 404 as that path does not exists on the local storage.

What is the difference for a client if 100.pdf should be an actually file or a data stream served from a web framework? There should be no difference.

Choosing to behave when building a dynamic app the same way as the static helps a lot with integrating with multiple other services (eg. caching, observability ...)
Wait - it's exactly the "random clients... poking around" that I'd want the alerts for!
404s occurring due to intentional but broken requests is fine - the caller will know about it and deal with it as necessary.
But either way, it is a reasonable argument in favor of not using 404 in the case an endpoint was matched but the specific resource id/path was not. It's not entirely dissimilar to the distinction between "file not found" and "directory not found".
Given all of the other actions I've seen from Elon, I wouldn't say he's a reliable narrator.
They don't need to understand that.

The question they need to answer is more along the lines of "Did Twitter purposefully mislead investors in their filings to the SEC to such a great extent that it greatly lowers the future potential profitability of Twitter?".

The answer to that is almost certainly going to be no.
Meanwhile the Nasdaq is opening positive and the S&P and Dow are only slightly negative.
To be fair... If you carry around a smart phone or have a smart watch or a laptop you're at just as much risk. The ring is just one more device.
Vite's really gaining traction, from the chatter I'm seeing. Seems pretty good in my initial trial of it - I'm hoping it spurs other tools to improve performance and dev experience.
But they don't. They see the product, it's useful to them, they buy it. Practically nobody is doing research into privacy practices of the things they buy. It's only a problem if it becomes a news story.

In other words, the culture or people that created something must not allow their identity to be reflected in that something.

This is how you end up with ridiculous situations such as a classical music quartet fired by its own board for focusing on European classical music [1], or portraying Victorian England as exceedingly, counterfactually diverse [2]. Prohibiting focusing on one's own culture (called 'centering' nowadays) is, effectively, prohibiting having an identity.

[2] Moffat even talks about the idea he mentions above — the excuse of “historical accuracy” that some people often give to justify an all-white cast — “[W]e’ve kind of got to tell a lie: we’ll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn’t have been, and we won’t dwell on that. We’ll say, ‘To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world. By believing in it, we’ll summon it forth.’” - https://www.themarysue.com/steven-moffat-on-doctor-who-diver...

I'm one of the authors of Quaterion and also a contributor of TF Similarity. First of all, Quaterion is based on PyTorch. From a more technical perspective, TF Similarity is currently stronger on the self-supervised methods for images and lacks some more generic losses while Quaterion puts a bigger emphasis on finetuning models from any domain efficiently for practical purposes. For example, Quaterion has a intermediate caching mechanism that accelerates finetuning considerably. Overall, They both do a good job for their own use cases.
Vite is framework agnostic. Framework specific work is spearheaded by framework specific community or core authors in some cases (solid, astro)

React falters because there are not many community contributing towards react integration.

Note: Vite team has done their job for react, but react itself has many concerns particularly due to commonjs that a dedicated person (or team) is needed for react
> The middle ground is something like instead of sending a link, send a code via email that you enter on the website, but that just removes the magic of magic links and is no different than what it was before!

Wouldn't an even better middle ground option be defaulting to magic links, with the magic link destination both logging in and notifying the user that if they user want to switch [back] to a different web browser or device they can use their email and $TIMELIMITEDCODE? (Perhaps with the notification disabled if the browser which opens the magic link shares a cookie jar with the browser session which requested the magic link, and perhaps including a "You recently tried to access using $RequestOriginatingBrowserName on $DeviceID" to hint they might want to get out of their mail client)

Offers both the magic bit and a non-magic way to escape from the sandbox that is less likely to be a vector for speculative phishing attacks.
That’s good though. We generally want demand to stay strong. Inflation sucks but if it’s just prices going up because supply went down, well that’s just the breaks.
Needs a way to specify the time range. As you mention on the page, the trend lines are very dependent on the time range.
> And any big trader probably has better data available than the government statistics.

Government data is the gold standard.

Traders spend money trying to predict what the government numbers will be. It can be difficult to emulate, since it involves talking to real people, but there are brokers out there for consumer spending data.
From the article, she was denied entry because of her previous long stay in the U.S., and not because of the abortion/pregnancy question.

> She said she was initially quizzed about why she was returning so soon after spending two and a half months in the US between January and April, travel that fitted well within the 90-day window allowed for each visit.

> A spokesperson for US Customs and Border Protection confirmed that the visa waiver program prohibited applicants from engaging “in any type of employment or get compensation for services rendered”. The rule, which appears to prohibit house-sitting for free accommodation, took Gourley completely by surprise and she said she now wanted to warn other Australians of the consequences of volunteering to house-sit or pet-sit in the US or neighbouring countries.

I'm not currently showing this directly because it's so sensitive to the specific start and end dates. :-/ (Is there a good UX for that?)

For now you could calculate it by mousing-over the dates your interested in and reading the values off the chart legend.
True.

Although I do wonder how thorough those late iOS updates really are. IIRC, Android updates various system technologies through the play store, so e.g. Chrome and web views will stay updated far longer than the rest of the OS, whereas iOS updates just stop when they stop.

Still, as far as longevity is concerned, iOS is still miles ahead of Android.
Example Code:

users = http.client.get("https://yourapi.com/users")

# Frobulate each user
for user in users:
user = http.client.post(user.frobulate_url)
# While this is running somewhere on the other side of
# the world someone deletes one of the users. Oops.

Assuming, users (i.e developers) will just never mistype a URL so you don't have to give useful feedback is just like being a bad netzen.
I guess if you don’t have prowler or package theft problems, they aren’t really necessary. I personally have found my Nest cameras indispensable. Ironically, if police would just do their job on property crime, they wouldn’t be so needed.
BMW puts heated seats, other features behind paywall
We've had massive deficits for decades. It requires pretty strong evidence to claim that the problem is something that is common to the past few decades rather than the things that are unique to the last couple of years.
> We decided to release a new Vite major at least every year

Isn’t this exhausting?

Is it impossible to design good contracts without having to break compatibility every year?

In most other language ecosystems it would convey incompetence.
>It's another way of saying "you'll never really understand this so don't try, just rely on a mysterious cabal of experts".

It's more along the lines of, "you absolutely can understand this if you try, buy trying will take years of your life to learn and apply all attack vectors and their mitigations."

The admonition not to roll your own crypto isn't so that people don't look at crypto. Take a look, fiddle, and hack all you want - just not in production. The saying comes from crypto people noticing avoidable security issues that get created many times people have touched or used crypto code - because even 100% correct crypto code is often also broken in practice.

Similar story with me. I was at my grandma's house for the holidays and wanted to can a bunch of jalapenos. I'd slice them in half, rub the seeds/guts out with my thumb then slice them into rings and throw them in a jar to boil. Did several pounds... Night came and I couldn't sleep my hands were burning so bad. Touching the sheets or anything would shoot pain. I went and dug through her medicine cabinet and found some tylenol with codeine pills. Took a couple and managed to go to sleep but woke up in the morning and they were still burning. Was like that for 3 days or so.

Sure. What were the emergencies though? Police knew a ring cam had evidence of a murder on it? Or police knew ring cam had some footage of where they dropped their keys last night?

Who defines emergency? If its the police then anything they need it for is an emergency.

The early microcomputer OSes were little more than program loaders and only came into play if you had a disk drive. Even MS DOS was not much more than a program loader for most of its existence. It was a little jarring when making the transition from a TRS-80 or Apple ][ or Commodore computer to something running MS-DOS or CP/M that you could no longer just type 10 PRINT "HELLO, WORLD!" to start writing a program.

> Also, note that Postgres already has features that are in the same area - null bitmaps put the null-ness of columns at the start of the row, and adding a ninth column moves all of the data in a row. It's all just implementation detail, not show-stoppers.

It doesn't move all the data for existing rows, because every row has an indicator about the number of columns in that specific row.

Compare that to adding a column and efficient packing requiring that the entire table be rewritten to fit the new column at its optimal place...
There are a lot of mergers with B2B sales, not consumer sales, that you don't hear about that have gone perfectly fine.
Well, no, not exactly.

The ring is an always-on camera. My phone is not that. My phone may leak some information about me, and its basic job (cell phone) provides a record of location data, but that's not the same thing as forcibly making a home security device into part of a police state panopticon.
In an emergency, you might not be home, or you might be shot.
I'm surprised you would say that Godot has more bugs than Unity. Unity is an endless fountain of bugs that keeps on giving when you least expect it.

Godot does lack some features. But that depends entirely on the kind of game you're aiming for. The 2D market like RimWorld could easily move to Godot.

On that note. UI skinning isn't a feature that's lacking in Godot. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/ui/gui_skin... If you easily implement that screenshot what prevents anyone from matching any designer's dreams?
I fear for the day when someone comes knocking on my door because my government-approved surveillance doorbell has been offline for too long.

The very first thing I did when I moved into my new house was completely disconnect/disable all networked security & "smart" home systems. I have a Ring doorbell, but it is not receiving any power. I figure the simple sight of it may still serve as a deterrent.

Most of the "smart" home things I permit today utilize bimetallic strips for their decision making.

"Booting up" [suspicious device] isn't really a security risk. It's it's own hardware with no access to anything else you own.

Plugging it into your PC, which this one seems to almost require, is the dangerous part of course, but not any more so than plugging in any other USB device. The fact this runs Linux is essentially irrelevant. A promotional USB stick, charging cable, battery bank or whatever other USB gadgets marketing departments throw around these days could hurt you just as easily.
