This feels like the responsibility of the pharmacy more than that of the grocer who sold you juice. Pharmacies typically put stickers on medication bottles that say, “Do not take with grapefruit juice,” “Avoid sun exposure,” “Take with food,” etc.

Would you want grocery stores to label grapefruits in the produce section?

I just want to say, I'm really glad that we are talking about "programmers". I hate that stupid term, "software engineer". What a ridiculous title. As if programmers do not also engineer software. And then what are "software architects" for if you already have "software engineers"?

Sorry for the off topic rant.
> This AI, in this thread, is human operated. Those images are likely copyrighted.

No, again. The AI can be human operated, and thus it can produce copyrightable works. But it can also be operated by other things, so it is not by default copyrighted. Your own case as well as the monkey selfie are just fine for this.

> Why are you avoiding citing a case to back up your claim?

Our debate here is not defending premises with evidence, it's you not understanding what the premise is.
I'm not following. Being in debt restricts what jobs are available?

A student takes a loan to get an education. When taking the loan they agreed to the terms which includes paying it back. There is no stipulation in the loan agreement on what jobs they take to pay back the loan. Being in debt does not change what jobs are available.

Not great, not terrible; the language supports annotations which mean nothing to the compiler but which pre-processors can take advantage of, and there is a framework called ppx which you can use to write your own preprocessor. There exist many pre-processors to do things like add inline tests, generate getter/setter/pretty-printing functions, and so on. Here is an example:

My apologies, I appear to have misunderstood the comment chain. The commenter saying that the whip cream law discriminates against minorities is incorrect.

Prohibition itself does discriminate against minorities but age regulation does not, in fact age regulation of psychoactive substances is a good step in the right direction away from hard-line prohibitionist policies.
I'm not going to go so far as to promote violence, by I disagree about despising software. There is a lot of software out there that should/could be replaced with simple process changes. If you despise software enough to know that it is not right tool for the job even when you are a programmer, you can safe yourself, management and users headaches by avoiding writing a line.
I also have the Carbon, I believe 7th Gen. It was the first one to offer a 4k screen. I ordered the laptop with the LTE card as well.

I use it for school, coding, and editing my wife's photos she takes with her camera. It has been a very solid machine. My only wish would have been more RAM. When I upgrade I will probably get the Extreme so that I can edit videos and run more VMs. :)

It's so nice to just open up my laptop and have internet everywhere without the need to tether.

Server Monitoring App
That would have to be a universe in which the fundamental theorem of arithemetic was false. Otherwise, the only way to cross an interval that is an integer number of octaves is to take steps that are also octaves.
Hello,

Since 2013, I've been using software monitoring tools for servers, both open source and proprietary.

Then I decided to build one mainly to scratch my own itches and make an easy to deploy and affordable one.

I designed it to be easily integrated with custom webhooks and Slack accounts.

It's been a nice walk, learned a lot about the underlying OS metrics, payment systems and frontend (my weakest spot ever). Moving forward, I would like to implement a Windows agent (I worked with WMI in the past), and also docker integration.

It is available for trial right now and feedback from this valuable HN community will be very appreciated.

TIA
Except until you get the money, you haven't paid the bill - you've at best shifted it. If you put it on a credit card, for instance, until you pay off the credit card, you haven't paid what you owe. The credit card company has paid the bill, and now you owe the credit card company (plus interest for them assuming your debt).

When you get that paycheck, only then can you actually pay your bills, to whomever holds your debt at the time. To put it another way - you can't pay someone if you don't have any money in hand.
C# and friends dispatch operators through overloading on static types. Extension methods rely on the same mechanism.

A dynamic language like Wren cannot use such a mechanism. The author already pointed out the options: the current OO-style dispatch, Python-style "if the operator is missing, try the reverse direction", or multimethods like Julia (which are quite complex and heavyweight).

Couple of examples relevant to tech:

Javascript being the lingua franca for all engineers eventually dominated the market. Not because it is a good language, but because everybody spoke it.

Typescript movement can be viewed as vocal minority imposing it's rules over everybody: once you get converted to TS you start hating Javascript. Now, it might mean that TS is just better, period. But another explanation could be that TS is simply viral in the JS environment, similar to Islam being viral in Coptic Egypt.

A caloric deficit will produce weight loss. If you're arguing that this isn't sustainable due to the amount of calories being "requested" by people's subjective desires and experiences, that's a completely different (and also incorrect) argument.
I've no idea what you're talking about and I suspect other people you meet and interact with (at least online) will feel the same way. I know this might sound harsh, but that's my feedback in the event you're at all interested in communicating more effectively online.
Kevin Erdmann on House Prices and Rents
I've had this happen to me. It's pretty uncanny actually. I didn't stop to chat with him, but I could absolutely tell by the expression on his face that he was thinking the exact same thing as me.

There's also a local news caster that looks dead on me (albeit, with nicer hair). So much so that multiple people have sent me pictures of the person. It's very weird to see "yourself" on TV.

So, to answer your question: yes.
Yea, ask many athletes at the US military academies about this. All of the football players basically had to have a waiver for BMI for the military standards or had to get taped (body dimensions measured) to do a more-complex calculation to determine a more accurate fat content. They also had to make standards in off-season, so the big linemen were constantly eating before the season to put on weight, then working hard at the end of the season to lose it.

That's assuming that those bases are even the goal for the people implementing the policies, which I am not convinced is the case in the US.

If that is not the assumption then we can just make arbitrary claims about anything and calculate "drift"

Same for www. Ratchet up the TLS/SSL - https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/ - go for modern and you'll see a lot of failed connections from bots and scanners.

Also, if you don't use any other IP block list, do use DROP from Spamhaus: https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/ - that is small enough that you can run it on the webserver if you don't have much control over your connection to the outside world.
there is no claim for this. SMIC does have ex-TSMC employees amongst staff though, so perhaps this is what you mean
All that and a single offhanded mention of epigenetics and no mention of methylation? I would guess that people who resemble me more than the average person would not just have more of the same genes, but especially more of the same expressed genes. What do I know, though? I'm not a geneticist.

That said, though, you've typed something so unless you're sitting for the Turing test soon I'd guess you do resemble me more than a box turtle does. Knowing that features are influenced by genes, the idea that similar features imply similar genes is a very simple hypothesis to make. I'm a little puzzled why it's so interesting to test whether genetics and epigenetics influence appearance in 2022.

To me, it's near meaningless unless they start with a very strict definition of resemblance. Is it based on some measurement or someone's subjective interpretation of who looks like whom? I'm not paying $4.25 a week to read TFA and I've been told I "look like" plenty of people I don't. There are two people I know of in the world who resembled me very closely at some point in my life. One was fairly local and I disbelieved he really looked so much like me until my own aunt approached him in public and he said he'd heard the same about me. The other was a guy I knew from a BBS (actually a talker, if anyone here knows what that is) who decided he had a crush on me and sent me a photo of himself. I printed it out, held it up beside my face, and my mother asked when I had that photo taken. Freaky resemblances do exist. Should I be surprised that the people who looked like me are closer genetically and possibly in traceable genealogy than another human of another gender, another nationality, another ethnicity, another culture, and another society?
I would think so. And as far as the way this user is using their account and HN

This is one of those "eye of the beholder" things.

If I had a quarter for every time I've heard "That's a solved problem," with a reference to a dependency, somewhere, I'd be a rich man.

I tend to really avoid external (not written by me) dependencies, because I have had many problems with other people's code. Fixing someone else's badly written open-source code usually takes longer than just writing the small part of their library that I need, and it doesn't involve having to argue with them, or have my PR rejected, because I have "too many comments."

I know that's not a popular stance, around here, but it works for me. I use a ton of dependencies, in my work, but I wrote most of them.

It got me to look! My main question is: Who are you targeting? It looks like you have some impressive achievements,my gut feel though, is that design is not your main strength and it would be good to bounce your presentations off someone in that arena.

Wind or tidal power would be zero emissions and the most practical. You can use them directly without electrical conversion.
In companies of a certain size the differentiation between these (or similar titles) get more clear. In my opinion they are also strongly linked with experience (in certain areas).
It's also unnecessary to cut them so badly. It's really disturbing.
Right. Wake me up when someone can explain how it's different this time.
Nice to see the emphasis on the creation of the dataset.

The positive is that the individual that the resume belongs to appear to be quite impressive and productive. The website loads fast, has decent readability (other than the icons), and doesn't have any obvious typos or errors. No weird animations. It does present what technology the person is familiar with.

Yep, agreed with you here. A lot of the more responsible roles should do management of expectations and sadly that's lost on many and isn't being done nearly enough.
I have to admit, some of the absolute best programmers I've personally known, seemed to share these qualities:

- Natural curiosity, exploring all kinds of technical / scientific topics - not necessarily programming alone.

- Extreme eagerness to learn. I'm absolutely not the kind of guy that can just immerse myself in technical books, but these guys are the types that would dedicate their spare time to really read and understand relevant literature.

- Intellectual acumen to easily pick up concepts. This was especially apparent when you studied with them - and could see how they compared to the rest. While others would struggle with some topics for weeks, even months, some of these would pick them up in the mater of hours. But I also think this is equally due to having strong background, and really knowing the fundamental stuff.

- Strong discipline. Showed up to work / school / etc. every day, put in all their hours. Little slacking around.

- Willingness to discuss and teach others. On the contrary to the "arrogant genius" stereotype, most of the really strong people I know have been eager to teach or show - at least as long as the interest has been genuine.

Probably forgetting a lot of stuff - but those have been some of the patterns I've noticed. The really good programmers and engineers I know have spanned from high-school drop-outs to research scientists.

Taking any of the more accurate measurements of body composition requires effort, unlike BMI. It's easy and lazy and not yet acknowledged as an ineffective practice so doctors do it. It's also not always wrong, just because BMI and obesity do correlate.
I found a pretty good Docker container for it, though that's only really switching you from solving Python problems to Docker ones. Worth trying out if you have a Linux box or WSL installed though: https://github.com/AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker

These are sovereign countries who can join NATO whenever they desire so. Russia has no say, except to start an illegal aggressive war, which per a Soviet jurist at the Nuremberg trials argued is the supreme international crime.

Russia is a signatory to the U.N. Charter, in no possible reading of either the U.N. or NATO Charters is Russia threatened by NATO countries unless it attacks one of them first. That's a precondition of NATO responding. If you might attack first, NATO might be viewed as a threat, and therefore an even more legitimate reason to join NATO.

Russia is also a signatory to the Budapest Memorandium in which it recognized Ukrainian independence. It's also a signatory to the Geneva Conventions. They said they wouldn't do exactly what they have done. Russia is a genocidal antagonistic ideological social group. The Kremlin published it's plan for a genocide, openly: What Russia should do with Ukraine? (Что Россия должна сделать с Украиной). This is not ambiguous language.

It doesn't surprise me that, also in 1994, Poland insisted on NATO membership or else it would develop its own nuclear program. Why? Because they didn't trust Russia.

Also, Putin said before 2014 that Ukraine joining NATO wasn't a concern of Russia's, so claiming it is now is absurd Russian propaganda.

Russia has "Fatal Attraction" complex. It demands that Ukraine love them, or else Ukraine must die. All of them. It is a completely brain washed and demented culture now. This is what happens when tyranny is allowed to persist without a revolution. Now, an entire nation subservient to tyranny, demanding its neighbors must like it too under penalty of extermination for having the courage to tell Russia to fuck off.
BMI is a terrible measure in general, not just for outliers. It doesn't normalize well to fairly obvious factors. You could arguably get a better reading just by looking at someone and visually estimating how fat they are.

Waist measurement is a stronger measure but still flawed.
.... wait "most of the highest paid programmers ($750k/yr)"

a) WT ever living F. How many programmers are making that much. Like really. Discounting CTOs, VPs, etc.... like actual "i write code for a living" people.

Are there even 100?

b) even if there are _none_ of those people are writing freaking ad software, or anything even remotely close to it. They're prolly doing seriously brainiac next level AI and quantum computing stuff. Sure, some of them may work at google and thus get paid for it but.... no. just ... no.

Yes, programmers make ad software. Yes, programmers mostly use ad blocking software and are thus unaffected by their creations.

but WTF is with this perception of $750k/yr being anywhere even _remotely_ near what the average programmer gets? Like. that's not only not in the same neighborhood, it's not in the same planet.
A reason to allow different people groups to do different things could be uncertainty about what is harmful. Letting the various restrictions and allowances play out can give a better understanding of the consequences of these.

A lot of the bigger outdoor or more distant indoor signs I’ve seen in my neck of the woods appear to basically just be a matrix of surface mount LEDs w/ a pitch juuust small enough that from a modest distance it appears to be a full picture. The LG you have is essentially the same thing obv, but if you’re mounting a sign to a building or billboard you don’t really need that pixel density and the hardware necessary to drive them.

The problem I see with the collective sense of "science" is that it's very frequently used to invoke unearned credibility by associating the accomplished fields of scientific inquiry with the others. Inelegantly phrased for effect, it can work something like this: Science is great, it gave us iphones, penicillin, and put men on the Moon! Social science is a science, and science gave us those wonderful things, therefore you should respect social science.

Speaking of science collectively can be a method of collectivizing credibility. The problem is that the scientific method is not equally effective in all fields of inquiry. For practical, ethical, or purely philosophical reasons, the scientific method yields great results in some fields and not in others. For instance, it is probably the case that the scientific method has limited usefulness when examining social matters concerning race, because it isn't practical to study large groups with scientific rigor, nor would it be ethical to do so even if they could. Another example might be a medical journal that refuses to publish any study that involves vivisection of humans, because that's impossible to do ethically.

Reading Nature's statement charitably, I think this is what they're getting at. If they're saying they won't touch race stuff because it's not practical or ethical to study that subject with scientific rigor, then I agree with them. If on the other hand they don't have a blanket moratorium on that line of questioning but have committed to only publishing results that are ideologically correct, that seems like a problem. Presupposing the answer and only publishing results that agree with it is not scientific.
That is completely orthogonal and the whole selling point of things like Windows LTSC or Red Hat: Stable foundations with regular security updates but no surprises.
