Agreed. It seems to me e.g. Germany is very open to immigration in all forms, IF, immigrants are willing integrate sufficiently into the EU value system concerning equality of sexes, blindess towards ethnicity, freedom of religion etc. They're not brainwashed at all, they want to keep their culture free of brainwashing.

My former employer is still using HTA (HTml Application) to dynamically render a lot of tool windows in their massive legacy COM application on Windows. HTAs render using an IE6-era renderer that is still present in Windows. (I wasn't in the group that built these tool windows, but I did build a lot of in-house web apps to help with various workflows.)

A few years ago, I had a colleague come by with bug he couldn't solve in an HTA tool window. There's no built-in console or anything... but I showed him how to copy/paste the Firebug Lite minified JS into a <script> tag, and how he could then press F12 to bring up Firebug Lite inside the HTA tool window. (Note Firebug Lite supported IE all the way back to 6). He was able to quickly debug & resolve the problem.

Thanks Firebug!
Can you elaborate? "Robots" is more a slogan or even a metaphor than a plan.
> grounds that they aren't based out Nebraska and not subject to their jurisdiction

This isn’t how jurisdiction works. Facebook had a customer in Nebraska who allegedly did a crime in Nebraska under Nebraska law. That creates a legal nexus for them there.
Anyone accept Monero?
I'm with you a 100% on this. I was just providing what I thought was an explanation of the other person's point.
It couldn't detect a stationary child sized mannequin from over a 100 yards away on a wide open road completely clear of distractions in 3 out of 3 tries.

I'm struggling to see how any generalization would not be a much worse scenario.
i can recognize myself in what you just wrote. and in my case i am pretty sure that it comes from my parents divorce and the lack of role models. there was nobody in my life growing up who would show care for me or for others in the way that your wife (and also mine) was doing it. i have the same issue with generosity. i haven't experienced people being generous as i grew up and as a result i don't know how to do it. it's just not something that i'd think about, and i have to consciously remind myself to share more things with others.

on the other hand, despite being somewhat introvert, i have no problem inviting some of those regilious types, when they come knocking at my door and having a serious conversation with them, while critically inspecting their claims. why? because that i did learn from my dad who was welcoming, open minded yet serious about his own beliefs.
Once I had a question about APACS, circa 2008, not a lot of information. found a tool using it, some lateral browsing, dns, simmilar usernames and finally i got to talk to the authour of the tool who gladly helped me :)

I was discussing how the only info I found was in a remote wikipedia article, yet incomplete. the guy told me he had written that article too.

good times
By forming a company they can finally provide “official” (though guarded by NDA) console support for Godot. This is by far my biggest issue with the engine and why it’s a complete non-starter for any serious game development.

It also means they could provide paid support when Bad Stuff happens with the engine. For a similar reason I have enterprise support with Unity, and it’s been worth it’s weight in gold.
You can if the hash collides within the IPv4 address space; ie it's a hash of less than about 16 bits. Enough to let your roughly see if something fishy is going on but you can't reverse engineer to any specific IP, only a set of 64 thousand.
I tried not to become too technical, given the original claim was that direct democracy does not ever work. You are, of course, right: You have a representative parliamentary system with strong direct democratic elements, which currently is in danger of being destroyed by more conservative elements in your parliamentary system. Given that traditionally Switzerland used these mandates wisely, I hope the fascistoid elements in your government will not be able to go through with that plan.
> Famine is by far the thing that scares me the most with global warming

This and thirst. I simply cant imagine not finding water to drink. Nightmare stuff. But whats really sad is that we have the tech to secure water and to switch to green energy almost over night (a few years), but whats blocking is greed and stupidity. And it affects us all.
> If your project falls into the second “application” camp, Astro might not be the right choice for your project…

Plenty of applications in the second category (logged-in admin dashboards, to-do lists, etc.) have been developed using server-first frameworks, and some of us still prefer to develop web applications that way. Is Astro missing any key features for dynamic server-first applications, e.g. form submission and validation support? If not, I think the Astro developers might be selling Astro and MPAs short.
Strange you say that. I’m six months into my pseudonymous account and they haven’t tried to extort my phone number. It’s like they know from my behavior that I don’t want to be doxxed by Twitter Inc. I signed up using a VPN and a weird email address, and used an AD blocker.
Cryptocurrencies are our only counter yet against the abuses of the financial system by the governments. In some countries this abuse is only potential, on others - already very real.

In a country where a dictator can make you starve with a snap of the fingers, cryptocurrencies are vital to survival. So even 10x more energy 'wasted' on such an indespensable service would still be a bargain I'd take.
That guy is an obvious scam. He ordered ads after that research everywhere possible trying to push his tech. And that "research" is buzzing around artificially for several month. I can see tesla is rather prone to false positives.

There is a "keep car cool for pets" mode that also works for children. Has a helpful message on the screen so passing do-gooders don't have to worry.

An automated system to prevent harm caused through parental negligence would be interesting, but how would you even detect that a baby was present? Maybe some kind of 'have' token attached to the carrier or car seat? OTOH that could cause more harm via accidental strandings. Would be interesting to search for an elegant solution.
> Do you think the situation is different in more specialized niches

Yes, but honestly it really depends on what you want to do.

As an example, I'm currently starting to hire for a small tech company in the life-sciences space. A candidate with real lab experience would be significant differentiator though its not super necessary for the position. On top of that having a PhD is a strong signal in favor of a candidate. That being said, given my position I would likely just pick a more-technically competent candidate if one is available, though that won't be the case everywhere you look.

The closer you get to the bigger biotechs, I'd imagine the more your PhD will be worth in terms of differentiating you as well. If you need to talk to scientists on a daily basis, you'll need to know how speak the same language, and thats not something you can get from a bootcamp.

My best advice would be to learn a breadth of technical skills and to start honing the ones that make sense for you personally. Don't let any tell you "you need to focus on X to be successful in biotech." There is a lot of innovation going on in the space right now, and if you look in the right places I'm sure you'll find that niche that makes sense for you.
AFAIK 23 weeks would be illegal in the majority of the US as well. Though there is some ambiguity as a number of states just say 'fetal viability' which can be as late as 24 weeks depending on who you ask.
In fact, if we consider the presence or absence of truth in a statement...

Ask HN: What Happened to Open Courseware?
I learned CS from online courses and have been trying to learn basic EE as well. to It seems to me that free online courses by places like MIT or similar institutions have been declining for the past 5 years at least.

It is too cynical to think that institutions recognized that STEM classes by great professors are a rare and valuable resource, and that by sharing them freely they undermined the value of attending one of these elite institutions? Cost alone cannot be the full explanation as existing resources that were excellent have been actively taken down.

I know that UC Berkley's videos were taken down for failing to conform to accessibility laws so that it kind of a special case, but it wouldn't have been impossible to get them subtitled if the motivation were there.

Of course many of these resources can still be found if you search hard enough, and individual Youtube creators have been getting better and better, but I would really be fascinated to hear why there was such an institutional flourish and decline?
Not exactly. European laws have restrictions on when it's available "upon request", but if there are any medical concerns around the fetus or the mother they can and are performed much later.

This is likely more of a side-effect of having government sponsored healthcare wanting to limit the number of elective procedures rather than any sort of moral issue like its viewed in countries like the United States.

They are saying that it slowed down to 25mph as a consequence of being placed into FSD mode.

But it did not slow down anywhere near the mannequin, and even sped up a little bit when hitting the mannequin in 1 trial.
Driving instructors are licensed, paid, and liable; driving instructors do not pay ten thousand dollars for the opportunity to oversee driving learners.

If their customers are actually driving instructors for their cars then Tesla should be employing them, verifying they are competent at the task, and paying them the prevailing rate of ~$25 per hour. They should not be advertising it as a product that is fit for purpose when it requires constant supervision by trained professionals.
The lamp test, where all the lamps are turned on as the car starts, should be a sign that there is a lamp for this.

Or else how else would you know if the "brake" lamp still worked?
>Your perspective on this is distorted.

You make an excellent point. The entire point of Tornado Cash is[0]:

"Tornado Cash is a cryptocurrency platform. It is a Cryptocurrency tumbler, a service that mixes potentially identifiable or "tainted" cryptocurrency funds with others, so as to obscure the trail back to the fund's original source."

From a legal standpoint, such functionality has few (if any) purposes other than to circumvent the law.

As such, preventing such activities is likely a societal good.

I expect you won't get a lot of love from some folks here, as they aren't interested in societal good. They seek license to do what they want whenever they want, without regard to the impact on the society in which they live or those they live alongside.

And in most cases, that's just fine. I strongly value liberty myself. I'm not as dogmatic as some, but I strongly believe that the only actions which should be proscribed are those that limit the liberty of others.

In order to maintain that liberty, it must needs be an ordered liberty that discourages activities that cause harm to others.

All that said, what governments decide is "criminal activity" is often arbitrary and unfairly/unevenly applied.

This creates distrust in the legal system, which Tornado Cash circumvents. Which is why not a few law-abiding folks (especially in the age of surveillance capitalism[1] want the capabilities (anonymization of financial transactions) offered by Tornado Cash.

What's more, the legal system in the US actually works pretty well, as compared with other nations around the world.

It's not the best, nor is it free of flaws, but it's definitely better than nothing.

This (how to make our ordered liberty as broad and as fair as possible) is a complicated and nuanced topic. I haven't done it justice in this comment.

While I do appreciate the value of a platform like Tornado Cash (how, and with who, I effect financial transactions shouldn't be of concern to anyone other than those involved in a particular transaction), it's pretty clear that without appropriate controls (AML/CFT regulations) enormous harm can be done. In fact, this episode shows that enormous harm was done in the absence of the implementation of those regulations.

Github will comply with the law when it is required of them.

They have a business to run.

Early Lisp (even pre-lispm) had no GC at all -- it just allocated until it ran out. Memory reclamation was done by saving the heap to tape and then reading it back -- only live objects were saved. So it was kind of GC with extra steps; the first GC algorithms removed the steps.
Well, “after investigating by <insert actual efforts taken here>, we were unable to find evidence it was exploited” would be a good start, as it would indicate some effort was put into disproving the hypothesis.

But you have to admit, like "GoDaddy", it's memorable, even if it's for the wrong reasons. From a marketing perspective, it might be a plus. Better than "AppTec" or the equivalent which would be forgotten instantly.
Huh. Who'd have thought that making abortions illegal would force people to have dangerous illicit abortions and have to hide the evidence.
There's a Ford F250 Super Duty pickup in my driveway about 5 feet from the garage door, that only stopped because of the parking brake. So, yeah, you're right :-)

Congrats on the launch! I'm working on something similar, Airplane.dev, which you mentioned in your initial post.

One thing you mentioned:

> You can think of it as a superset of both Pipedream and Airplane.dev

I don't think this is true that Windmill is a strict superset of Airplane. Airplane has a lot of functionality that Windmill doesn't seem to offer (based on my reading of your docs). A few things I noticed that are unique to Airplane:

* Ability to store everything in code that you control. In Airplane, we have a CLI that lets you deploy scripts from your own machine to Airplane. You can version control the script code as well as the metadata (name, parameters, validation rules, etc). In Windmill you have to create everything in their UI as far as I can tell. Airplane's approach is more developer-friendly and also allows you to reference other code in your codebase if you want.

* Many ways to create scripts/tasks outside of just Python and Typescript. We have a direct SQL integration, REST-based tasks without writing code, Shell, Docker, etc

* Third-party integrations (Sendgrid, Slack, etc). I only saw Slack in your docs.

There are of course things that Windmill does that Airplane doesn't (for example, Windmill is open source). Just wanted to point out that while our tools have some overlap, there are also many differences that might make one or the other a better fit.

I wish I could say I had the same experience. I don't know what to say. My experience of applying for jobs that were well within my skillset, where I had projects showing off my non-industry-specific skills, was... either silence or being chucked out of the pipeline after the first interview or two, repeatedly. I'm not the only one.

Maybe this works if you live in a tech hub where there's venture capital to spend on masses of junior devs?

Be warned that is way out of date now.
With the abundance of material available for people to self-train as a developer, the pool of candidates has exploded - bootcamps, self-paced university courses (CS50), etc. all mean the bar has been raised for what is considered a junior.

YouTube, Udemy, Exercism, TryHackMe - these allow anyone with an internet connection to learn, perhaps with the aim of entering the industry.
In most of Europe what happened in this particular case would still have been illegal (although it's fair to ask whether the individual in question would have had a legal abortion at an earlier point in time in Europe).

The reason it has taken the traditional car companies so long to catch up is because they are treating software development the same way as designing cars; whereas Tesla apparently treats FSD with the same attitude as those developing web pages.

No, that's a bad analogy. A circuit board is not something that gets re-built every time you make a change. You can't just arbitrarily run traces around a board and expect a working design that meets EMI/EMC requirements.

I'll coin a new term here to classify this kind of problem: NP-incomplete. A problem that's known to be NP-hard, and is actually now impossible because you the program doesn't have all the information it needs to solve the problem.

To properly route a board, the tool would need to know what kinds of loads are at each end of a net, how thick the trace needs to be, where the return path for the current loops involved are, the edge transition times of all signals on the board.

You have to know not to route delicate high-impedance signals next to high dV/dt power traces, how to properly split and combine ground planes, how to respect creepage/clearance requirements for voltage isolated systems, etc.

About the best we can do today is to use autorouting for not-so-critical traces after the work for everything else is done, and even then it only really works well when you have PCB area to spare. In the worst cases, like some 2-layer boards, an autorouter will inappropriately chop up your ground plane with the traces it needs to route and turn what was a good board with solid return paths into a poorly routed mess.

The reason autorouting sort of works in VLSI devices is because all of these requirements are baked into the tools themselves. Every signal has a timing requirement, an impedance requirement, fanout limits, etc. When you are only dealing with digital logic, it makes the job much easier.

You forgot my favorite one: "vaginæ"/"vaginae" is an archaic plural of "vagina".

But "vagine" is not to be seen in any dictionaries afaik.

I have to believe that Intel's GPU division will be fine just because I refuse to believe that any executive over at Intel is short sighted enough to believe that Intel was going to leap frog AMD and Nvidia or even make a profit within the next 3-5 years. It took AMD years to get it right with Ryzen and AMD still hasn't had a "Ryzen moment" with their GPU. The fact that Intel's GPU can even compete with AMD and Nvidia is a feat of engineering magic. Intel should just take the L and make it a loss leader and grind it out for the long haul.
