Just curious if you've ever actually taught someone to cook before?

Like, I can definitely see a market for something that teaches skills versus recipes. I've thought about doing it myself. But if someone wants to learn to cook an egg, it's because there's an egg in their fridge and they're hungry. So start with actually cooking that thing. Like, getting a suitable frying pan, setting the right temperature, throwing some butter in and then cracking and flipping the egg, learning to recognise when it's cooked to the desired doneness. No one cares about how to buy eggs... And if they're scared to buy eggs it's not because they don't know ABOUT eggs, it's because they don't know how to cook them.

Anyhow no need to take my advice, I just don't see the 'hook' or value versus a blog that teaches cooking, the millions of books geared towards beginners, TikTokers and YouTubers that teach cooking, etc... In a past career I was a chef (worked in restaurants up to a place that was top 100 in the world) and for beginnners who never cooked the first step was always to put food in their hand and have them cut it, season it, cook it and taste it. Extra information was always on a strict need to know basis mainly because it's overwhelming. The very first time you make a burger you don't care about lean versus fatty meat, you just want to not get e-coli and have something edible.

Also, just want to compare some food apps that are successful.

- Cookpad works because it skips a ton of BS involved in reading recipes and simply gives you the recipe.

- TikTok (IMO the best food app there is) works because you see the entire recipe start to finish in one minute or less. It grabs you, then you can usually go to a link or something to get the actual recipe.

I like your goal and the methodology is sound enough, just seems like there's not a ton of experience with actually teaching cooking...
I think becoming an emancipated minor varies a lot by jurisdiction. You may need to look hard at what type of income works for you. I.e. letting a guardian take some income in an inappropriate fashion may actually help you formally emancipate through the courts.

Identifying antiques/collectibles is a skill that can pay off well.

Ghost writing for bad students (and now bad employees) can pay well and has a payer that wants to keep things discreet but that is income you probably wouldn't want to use to later argue you are financially independent.
I been enjoying using Flutter for most of my apps. Flutter is very easy to pick up but can be tricky sometimes while trying to optimize the performance. Currently trying to learn swift and swiftUI.
If anything doesn't he represent a more direct "taking of the reins" by the lobbyist/corpo class? Even most lifer politicians themselves are more "outsiders" than he is/was.

It's weird that people believe he is a political outsider. I've never heard a holistic/logical argument showing he is somehow more divested or decoupled from the implicit oligarchy class that ultimately is deciding legislation/law/executive orders these days.

I guess it's because he's bounced around parties and people are really firmly sold on the republican/democrat binary, seems superficial to me but I'd be willing to hear any cogent argument made.
Can’t find edit on mobile but believe it should actually be “pneumatic” and not “hydraulic lines”, my mistake
While I agree the odds of a collision can be low, it's not zero. Maybe the vendor area can be used for markup symbols, because characters there are not supposed to be portable and you should not consider anything in that region "safe" for content.

>What is next? Having more money in your bank than the police believe you should have?

The police? Shit, this is exactly what the youth are demanding now. Wealth confiscation is all the rage with Gen Z and younger millenials.
> Well that's kind of a bad argument, because if "we voted on issues..." we're just declaring that this is one of the issues (etc.) that needs voted on and the resolution is to prohibit these transactions...

Ah! So, we are approaching democracy. I am saying this is not an issue, there are others that are saying it is. Honesty, lets see if the House votes in your favor, my popcorn is popped.

> So the issue we elected politicians to fix was politicians trading stocks.

Some people see this as an issue, others don't.
But, I understand that I am messaging in a place that has opinions that are different than mine. However, I owe my livelihood to having read this place as a teenager. So, here I am.
I know when I one day run for office, the members of this board, likely, would not vote for me. I still like to exercise my thoughts and ideas in a familiar community.

> The ideology is that politicians shouldn't trade stocks because they vote on bills that they have inside knowledge on.

That is one ideology. There are many others. Can you think of a honest, good reason that a politician might have to trade stocks? If you can't think of good reason, you're ideology has given you bias against someone (in the same way that it has given you bias for someone else).
There many different ways of life, most people think theirs is the best way.

> The direction to go in is not allowing politicians to hold individual stocks.

I don't think this is the best direction to go in.

> The policy is they can't own individual stocks going forward.

We'll see if the policy shifts in this direction

> And this is a thing we voted on.

Who is we? Not me.

> So I won't rule out everything but in your examples of guns and gold that would also prohibit the politician from selling those things or having to give them up as well.

But if the politicians aren't following current laws, why would they follow new laws? (The law I am referring to is the stock trade disclosure one, but there are others)

> You're taking the stance that everything is effectively the same so why are people singling out stock trading

Agreed

> Whereas I think there are shades of gray.

Agreed, even private citizens have to declare their trades to the SEC once a trade reaches a certain value.

> that isn't in the spotlight as much is because it doesn't happen at the federal level but at the state and local level.

I disagree, shifts in land value happen for many reasons including legislation. Are these shifts in value as volatile as the ones seen in stock market? The answer, IMO, depends on the time frame.

> There are a ton of injustices that still occur.

Agreed, but,
More laws don't stop injustices, they just cause more people to have more interactions with law enforcement agents.
I am not for that.
We're still working out the kinks, but some form of this will definitely be possible.

You can already hack this by defining access policies and writing an EdgeQL proxy server that authenticates incoming requests, sets the appropriate global, and forwards the query to the database. There's a Python/Flask implementation of this pattern here[0].

We also have a JavaScript example app demonstrating access policies to simplify authorization logic using Next.js/getServerSideProps[1] and a user management platform you may have heard of called Clerk[2] :)

Well, SPYWAREGORILLA have fun coding spyware, the height of technology in the internet age.

No really, it is.

That's the current crown of human achievement. All corporations and government know everything about you.

Written by you. I hope you're a total sociopath for your sake because all you can hang your crown on is enabling dystopia.

I can see why you don't want people in space. You can't spy on them as easily. The future of earth is authoritarian dominance and eventual death of the species.

The future of space at least has the hope of being better.

Have fun making the world a terrible place, dude.
I actually found out a bit more about it and added it to the blog post. I found links to the macro examples and so on, added it. It uses jsx/tsx with special tags like <string> and <array>. Honestly, that strikes me as completely genius. I really hope it can emit types before the typescript compilation step, not sure. Tried to read the zig but...it's deep.

Why always only nudity? Why not everything violence, for example weapons, dead people, whatever? Children should eventually have good sex when they grow up but they should not kill people. Still they get exposed to a lot of violence and comparatively little healthy sexuality. Why can they drop anvils onto each other's heads in cartoons but not fuck each other?
They're not going to go and admit they screwed up with timing the market, are they?

> The government has purchased 2,381 Bitcoin with public funds, which, today, are worth about 50% less than what authorities paid for them, according to calculations by Bloomberg based on tweets by President Nayib Bukele.

Ouch.

Double-ouch.
And who owns this "escrow"? I bet it's Stripe. That money is sitting in their accounts collecting interest that they definitely want (spoiler, they make money off keeping your money in your accounts not just off processing fees).
> Switch statements

JS has had switch statements for a long time. Do you mean switch "expressions" that can be used inline? It's not pretty but JS has long supported that too using either eval() "hacks" or IIFEs: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32451049/is-eval-the-onl...

Do you mean pattern matching? There are two Stage 1 TC39 proposals with different approaches to it:

More hands-on/direct: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching

More indirect: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-do-expressions

> list comprehensions

There are several libraries with strong Iterator support today that while not syntactically gorgeous do great jobs at allowing you to write simple list operations. Off the top of my head are IxJS and iter-tools, but also classic mainstays like up to date versions of lodash and Ramda.

There's a Stage 2 proposal to bring more of them into "the standard library": https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers

There's also a Stage 2 proposal for an operator to make the syntax generally nicer no matter the library: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator

> array slicing

Array.prototype.slice() was added back in ES2015: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Array.prototype.at() was "just added" in ES2022 for unary (single argument) "slice" (ability to use negative indexes): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

If you prefer syntax to function calls, there's a Stage 1 proposal still live for that: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-slice-notation

> better equality operators

That ship has probably sailed. Most projects at this point just have linter rules to standardize everything to the more reliable "triple equals" (===, and !==).

There are proposals for more structural equality functions in the standard library, though, for instance: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-array-equality
Wow, this is pretty dystopian. "You have money that we didn't know about so you have to explain yourself, or we will assume you acquired it illegally and take it from you". That's not due process. That's not innocent until proven guilty. (Yes, I know UK legal standards are different than the US's, but I believe these things to be rights people should universally have.) That's not rule of law; that's rule by thugs.

I guess that's strictly "better" than the nearly-zero-recourse civil forfeiture travesty we have here in the US, but... still not great.
You might want to look into the details about that. Most likely there is an ordinance (or maybe a state law) about interfering when they are actually filming (like, the equipment is active and recording).

I've walked through a lot of sets, and they really only care about keeping random people out when the cameras are actually rolling. The logistics of filming in a city simply don't work otherwise.

Is the author on HN? He mentions that they only managed to film 2 scenes. Is that right, or was it 2 scenes over and over and over and over and... I guess most action scenes are CGI these days, but when some gunfire+explosion scene is filming outside your office, where they do the same 20 second sequence 100 times, man that gets old real quick.
So then based on your counter arguments to the OP, have they mapped the entire protein universe ? Or should it say, the “already known protein universe” ?
The whole point of this scheme is that it treats all callers equally, and works without needing to distinguish legal from illegal calls.
> What is this hunch based on

Politicians trade stocks
it is not an executive's fault to want to de-risk. THis is capitalism, and everyone looks out to himself only.

it is venture capitalist's fault for signing up for this deal, that KILLED a company. Sure, they bribed executive to sign term sheet by allowing him to cash out, but now the entirety of DataRobot is going to be worth 0. VCs basically destroyed value of their LPs.

next time, VCs should think about employees who put hard work and keep company operating, not only executives.

Without people - any startup is just a worthless legal entity.
> I also hope I never find myself under your authority.

Luckily I have no interest in being an authority over anyone--too much expectation of coddling the underlings.

Sure, I agree that crystallization in particular has faced this particular bottleneck for a long time. The field of SB, however, has still managed to advance massively too. For example, Cryo-EM can do things we could barely imagine a decade ago.

The point I'm trying to make is that from the perspective of a grad student, no field is devoid of risk, and it's surprisingly easy to be stuck by something that's a solved problem on paper. For example, I know of a grad student that's been trying to develop a mouse line for about a year now, and has now discovered that this strain just won't work for what they have in mind - and must now recreate the mutant combinations in a different strain that's at least a year's work - if it even works. I've heard stories of entire mouse lines die, and you're back to square one - years of work lost.

The other thing that complicates some of these fields is the massive pace of innovation they're undergoing that it is very hard for an individual lab to keep up to date. Grad students are using techniques that were published less than 5 years ago, and there's no locally available expertise to tap into. What remains the same is the level of grunt work grad students and postdocs have to do, even if the techniques get more sophisticated over time.
Congratulation on the 2.0 release. EdgeDB looks awesome. However, I will not advocate using it for any of my clients unless there's a clear path to derisking its adoption. Like all new software products/services there's a significant risk of it becoming abandonware. I'd obviously want EdgeDB to succeed but how can one de-risk adopting it?
Would it be possible to somehow "transpile" both queries and modeling scripts to readable SQL? That way, worste case scenario one may fall back on Postgresql without loosing most of previous work.
Let me be clear. I really like EdgeDB and obviously want the best for and you guys but I do not think I'm alone in thinking that we need a clear, easy and verifiable way to fallback to Posgresql if/when needed.
Dan Luu on Twitter:

> This video was really eye opening for me in terms of how bad a lot of text-oriented websites are on screen readers (HN at 6:27, reddit at 8:01):
A few years ago there was a web service in my region that allowed you to send a traffic ticket, and they would take all the tickets into court to fight as many as possible and give all customers a flat 30% discount off the shared savings.

It was incredible. But somehow they got shut down when judges and cops didn't like what they were doing.
> It's certainly easier for devs coming from C++ or Java than "weird python-like scripting language that we had to invent and are now stuck with".

??? You can do everything in Godot in C++...

And GDScript isn't exactly a 'weird' language, it's downright ordinary in terms of semantics and features. The feature is that it's part of the engine and maps directly to C++ methods in the game engine...
Searching a car and catching a criminal always makes them look better than just searching a car. [1]And I’m not sure how your point, if you have one beyond making yourself look smart, relates to the broader issue of whether shotspotter was the only evidence, which was the focus of that comment.

And if you’re economizing on time, I can assure that a better use of it would be to answer the challenge you kept dodging (or “misinterpreting” as a opportunity to show off irrelevant knowledge):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32259971

At this point I’m just going to assume you have no idea if 7% is a good threshold or not, but still see so problem with shouting it because it sounds good.

[1] In case you forgot, the only reason you were outraged was because the search did catch a criminal that it shouldn’t have. So obviously someone cares about catching a criminal!
What's so special about games that makes it not useful? Python has it and it's bread and butter, and Godot language is basically a gimped, less expressive, and less useful knockoff of python
Mother sauces is absolutely gatekeeping. You can get pretty far, and even know how to turn a roux into a béchamel without ever knowing it’s a mother sauce or that there are others.

I would refer you to the first basic law, dear sir or madam.
I completely agree with you when reading this at face value as a contemporary, serious essay.

But it’s not quite that. It’s a long form semi-comic screed from a time when it wasn’t especially controversial to put plain words to one’s frustrations.

I don’t share these particular frustrations. I don’t resonate with what’s being said. I think it comes from a pretty alienated experience where you’re convinced that there’s a lot of bad in the world and that it can be attributed to a few conceptual scapegoats that are simple and identifiable and that things would be so much better if not for this one (or two or ten) darn things.

But a lot of people do feel that way, and I’m not ready to hold my different experience over theirs. It would probably be stupid of me to do so.
Mantine version 5 was just released some days ago. I am not the creator, but just an admirer and made some small contributions. Full changelog can be found here: https://mantine.dev/changelog/5-0-0/
Yes the quality has greatly increased since that headset ~20 years ago, and not only the screen. There is also game quality, software quality, features, “connectivity” (online gaming, social hubs). Overall the experience today is entirely different.
> Populism is just a slur to apply to people you want to imply are too stupid to know what's good for them.

If you say so. It can also mean anti-politics.

The example you give is for left populism. There is also right populism, e.g. a large part of Trump's voter base.

> The establishment hated this and made a full court media and institutional press to paint them as stupid rubes.

Yes, when the establishment is neoliberal, they will hate anti-political movements.

Voters may not be rubes, but I find it hard to believe that everyone who was apathetic before 2016 and is now "engaged" is suddenly a scholar of government, history, and economics.
but the metaverse will surely prove otherwise, just wait!
> There is not much that is more annoying than an author assuming the reader knows the acronyms that they want to use

Sometimes you're not the intended audience and that's okay too. Constantly explaining acronyms that everyone in the audience uses daily gets frustrating too.

Imagine if every article written for senior software engineers in VC-backed companies had to re-explain what PR, CI, VC and AWS stand for. Or if every article for American audiences re-explained LA, NYC, and EST.

Jargon is useful.

Could you elaborate on the TOAST issues you're having? We're pretty liberal with our use of large JSONB objects and might hit a billion objects in a year or so.
Okay I concede this is Western, yes. But they're used all over, even if they get slightly adapted over time to the local area. I was learning Creole cooking the other month making a gumbo and it starts very similar to the espagnole mother sauce (a dark roux) with a modified sofrito (red peppers instead of carrots).

And also, if you look at the best cooking schools in the US such as Auguste Escoffier they also start with lessons on Italian and French cooking because of its influence on so many other cuisines.

This stuff is like learning variables and functions in programming - they're just core essentials and if you want to learn cooking, as you'd expect from an app-based course on cooking, you'd expect these to be early topics :)

Of course we're getting off track here because I was originally just joking with the OP as mentioned in another comment and seen in their reply. The Italians are stereotypically very protective of traditional cooking recipes (watch almost any Italian chef on youtube make a dish).
Official pay was debated by the usa founders. You can imagine a small amount making sense; you can imagine a large amount making sense. You can pretend you're Plato writing The Republic, if you want.

The reality is simple: Official pay is irrelevant. It's the system itself that helps or harms, and most countries are plutocracies.
Well, China has passed the US in GDP, and India/SE asia probably outclass Canada and Mexico. So really China is the richest and largest.

Europe I guess is historically the richest (except again China before the British invasion).

Oh it's not usually "fair" per se, but it's not like some people would get more than others (if done well), it's more like you don't always control all of the factors that get used to determine your bonus.

Like a QA engineer probably isn't directly tied to overall revenue, but it is a topline number that can be applied to everyone generally, so it can get used (in a general sense, I'm sure there are lots of specifics and nuances here).
