What is the alternative here? To provide a python.so file with all possible binary Python packages statically linked into it? You'd need to update it every hour to include all the bugfixes in every native library yanked in! To recompile Python itself every time you install a package? Even with a compiler cache you'd have the Gentoo experience of waiting for ages every time you try to use the package manager.

Dynamic linking solves a real problem, especially in this space. It comes with new problems of its own but so does the alternative.
It's CodeMirror! All I had to do was write a Janet grammar for it -- very easy to do. CodeMirror is pretty amazing -- I was able to implement the "edit values with your mouse" by just asking CodeMirror for the syntax node under the cursor, checking if it parsed as a number, and if so replacing it with a different string.

I am not knocking KeepassXC, but I just can't recommend it for some users.
I have a PCIe sound card but I have to say these days that I'm actually using a tiny apple usb dongle for my audio, and it sounds cleaner than the internal sound card does. The dongle was also a fraction of the price of the sound card, and way more convenient.

> I've experienced the exact opposite with that, that often those with humanities specialization are the least able to think critically and most likely to inject personal biases.

Agree. It appears that the modern humanities curriculum emphasizes group think over critical thinking.
I should have been clearer and said "software to aid in running a payment processor" but I used "payment processor" as a shorthand. Just as "open-source Amazon" is shorthand for "software to aid in running an entity like Amazon."
This has been going on since the second IBM PC (probably). On the original PC even RAM expansion was on an ISA card, and there were cards for serial, parallel, floppy disk, CGA, MDA and probably more. Those functions were gradually moved first to the motherboard and then into the processor until it became the SoC we have today.

And also doing this declaratively makes it so much easier to secure & build well-thought-out privacy & consent UX around.

An imperative API has so many variations on implementation approach for the end-developer / API consumer that the combinatorics become much more challenging for browser implementers.

(obviously imperative APIs for doing this already exist, but the existence of this declarative API at least makes limiting imperative API access less draconian/severe as a measure).
I'm confused by this exchange.

buscoquadnary: "often those with humanities specialization are the least able to think critically"

mmartinson: "I've experienced this exactly... I felt my humanities undergrad, especially the critical thinking and writing skills I developed, have helped me advance much more quickly."

My own opinion is that buscoquadnary's claim is merely anecdotal impression and doesn't hold up to empirical generalization. I'm not even claiming that humanities graduates are better at critical thinking, only that I've seen no evidence that they're worse than others. I've seen a lot of people in tech who are not particularly good at critical thinking.
We could use nuclear power to desalinate seawater and turn the Sahara desert into a vast grassland that could support a couple billion cows -- in my view this is the best route forward for humanity, given how much better beef is for human health than any other food.

A less type-safe language would still be isomorphic to a mathematical proof, but it could contain a wider range of errors compared to a more type-safe language. The language could be either functional or imperative, and still be isomorphic to a proof.

A correct (error-free) computer program written in any language (even javascript) would be equivalent to a correct mathematical proof.

It's a bit mind-bogglingly profound, but that's the beauty of the Curry-Howard correspondence.

You claim that the assertion is false but you've only looked at one aspect for why the parent might think the US banking system is behind.

To put another one out there, there's no universal and practical way to electronically transfer money from one person to another. The only options are cash, checks, wire transfers and ACH. Wire transfers are expensive and ACH is difficult to use.

In the SEPA area you can transfer money to anybody else within about a day for the cost of a local transfer (usually free) with nothing but an IBAN (which can be freely-given, unlike a US bank account number).

Plus, the US has been behind for a long time for card-present transactions as well. Only in the past few years have chips started to see widespread use.
I habitually cover the camera on my phone when I'm not using it. It's just common sense for any connected device running complicated software without hardware switches to turn the sensors off reliably. The latter would be better of course but there wasn't a practical option for it last time I was looking for a new phone.

OMG I tried to setup SyncThing a couple of months ago to sync my KeePassX (kdbx) between my PC, my MAC and my Android phone. It was hell, I had to fight SyncThing every step of the way (connecting between clients, which one is the receiver and which one is the sender and whatnot), and it just didn't sync. In addition I learned that in Android SyncThing cannot sync to an external SD card ( https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-android/issues/1366 ) .

I ended up uploading the file to Google Drive and using it's client. It works pretty flawlessly.

Because only they have sufficient capital and expectation of return and intimate knowledge of the space to scratch their own itch.
Introduced latency on the capture side makes latency tuning your entire production pretty difficult. For non-real time usage, sure, latency in the 100-200ms range is more than acceptable (assuming it's deterministic, as you pointed out), but in the real-time world? Keeping things within a frame is pretty much required, and with the popularity of software-driven studio workflows across both amateur streaming and professional production, it's been real hard to get reliable performance out of USB hardware that didn't add frustrating amounts latency due to pre-ingest compression or seemingly random amounts of delay due to protocol or CPU time starvation.

Yes, I read it and that is what I meant with "even if you tune all the settings and have statistics of remote tables".
I have tried all the options, if you have any remote join which is more than a few rows you'll have a bad time.

I'm not even talking about changing the shard key, even growing the cluster isn't easily done and much less with "millisecond latency". Unless you use Citus which technically isn't a pure PostgreSQL solution.

That made me chuckle.
There's a difference between trials and every bank starting to gradually (and silently, some people got upset) issue contactless cards from 2013 on, and payment terminals being updated everywhere.

I remember going to the US in 2015 and 2016 and while Apple/Samsung Pay had started to gain traction, the idea of tapping my card to pay was still science-fiction.
Couldn't you play a WAV too? But they were too massive at the time for most peoples bandwidth.
Being able to do something like this is important because being able to refill on-site means you don't need to bring enough oxygen with you for a return trip, but we should remember this is nowhere near sufficient to start terraforming the Martian atmosphere. The biggest issue is still the density. It is well, well below the limit at which human bodily fluids boil at normal body temperature. Getting the molecular mix right might eventually be a concern many, many centuries from now, but first we just need more gas at all. It doesn't help that Mars continually loses more atmosphere due to solar wind because it doesn't have a magnetic field, too. I have no idea what we could realistically ever do about that, but solving that is a prerequisite to ever having permanent colonies that don't need to live underground forever.

Curious what replacement card you went with. I know the WiFi/BT are combined, Bluetooth headphones cutting out last night for no reason at all and the thought came around again to flip a replacement in.

Nice to meet another used hardware buyer. I think the total cost of my laptops over the past 10 years equates to roughly the price of a single new high spec Macbook, and that's with repeat replacements due to damage / spills / etc.
> they have a job to support their family

They can’t afford families because they can barely afford to rent a room in a basement an hour from the office. Sometimes they share a bedroom so they can send some money back to a developing country I guess?

If they were born early enough to be home owners then they probably increase their net worth by more than me every year and it makes me feel like shit for losing the real estate lottery

To be fair I'd say it depends on the major (and on the school)

I'd say there are more "modern" humanities majors (not naming them - but you can say it's "underwater basket weaving") that sound pretty much just a guide for "wokism"

I feel that the more traditional (and wider field) humanities, like Philosophy, Sociology, History (or even literature) etc might give a more useful knowledge base
Just something, ya know? Surely they've gotta be aware by now, and maybe they're working on a tribute article from all of the staff, but, a one paragraph weekend update would've sufficed.
The browser is the obvious option. Firefox and Chrome both implement ways to save passwords in the browsers. I believe Firefox has a service to sync them, Chrome may too (I don't use them, so I don't know).

They could reasonably tie in to whatever Office-suite you use (GSuite, Office 365).

In the enterprise, it could be part of a larger "credential management suite" product managed by security. Allow syncing and auditing of credentials, like "when was the last time this cred was changed?" with some kind of automation to generate and push a new credential when need be.

From the outside looking in, a basic credential manager doesn't seem complex enough to be a standalone product.
Moderation is not Censorship. Moderation is Free Speech. Hate Speech is not Free Speech. Criticizing the termination of services against kiwifarms isn't an endorsement of free speech its an endorsement of universal toleration. Universal toleration is the idea that I'm not allowed to determine who I provide goods and services to despite the message of the those to whom I am providing services too, if I host a website that is a forum for lego builds, am I not allowed to kick Nazis spreading hate from my forum? My platform, my rules, entitles me to determine what messages I want to convey because the message that is provided on my platform is my right to free speech therefore moderation is free speech.

"The line should be 2 em high" seems more like a feature request or... like just a general whining, than a bug. Your strategy of just closing these is probably valid. But I would call it "closing non-bug complaints which abuse the bug tracker," not slashing bugs.

The reason people are so confused here, I think, is because to programmers, bugs are incorrect behavior of the program. These bugs exist whether they are reported or not. Removing bug reports does not remove bugs.

In other comments you mention "and we implement ways to not reach high bug levels again." Is it possible that from a programmer's point of view, you are actually enforcing proper use of the bug tracker? i.e., keeping graphic design opinions about line widths out of it.

"ADCs" should be "DACs". While it's still correct, it isn't on-topic.
I was talking with someone who went STEM.

He said:

I really liked philosophy and history and would have done that but they showed that I needed a degree I could make a living with.
Well, if they ban old cars then I won't have a car.
Yep, nothing besides doing its job supporting the organisation preventing a European war escalation as well ad providing intel to Ukraine.

Send an email to Macron though, I'm sure he'd like to hear about HN experts who want to use an air-carrier that develops less than 10% of the least powerful land based nuclear plant to power the grid...
Yes hikaru could have, but he didn't, if you watch the stream. He doesn't have engine analysis on while hes looking at lines. It's off the cuff analysis without engine help.

Like compare hans to alireza in their interviews. Hans clearly just has a worse understanding of the position he chose to go into.

I mean to me it feels less like cheating and more like just absolutely wild prep, hans played like a 3200 up to the midgame and then couldn't convert a winning position, but it's suspicious to have such completely insane prep, especially without clear compensation
Those are weird examples as they exist under other umbrellas. Energy and space exploration. I would argue that we have absolutely made exponential progress in both fields, and it’s just perhaps not the exact type of progress you’d prefer. For example, solar would be under the energy umbrella so even if fusion hasn’t (or won’t) pan out our progress is still rapid.
This is the tone-deafness that ruins all efforts to actually convince people to take climate change seriously. It's extremely harmful.

Yes high efficiency heat pumps are getting better. But they aren't readily available. If they are, very few companies install/service them. No one has them in the Midwestern area I live in. They also only work down to say -20F and we do have quite a few days below that so you can't just make natural gas illegal.

Not to mention not everyone can afford it. Maybe let's focus on making them readily available and cheap instead of just banning things outright.
If it still smelled it is because the waste of the mice remained in the RV. The ozone didn't remove the waste, but probably just reacted with it to neutralize the odor causing VOCs.

If you were ok with that state, that's great, but eliminating the source of the odor tends to be more effective way to deal with it.
Nice. I hope this goes through, although there's approximately a 0% chance that it will, or if it does, conservative justices will likely strike it down pretty quickly.
In theory, but you'd need a competent government to make sure they don't create new problems or exacerbate the problem.

Over the last decade, an incredible sum of money has been poured into the homelessness problem. We now have the homeless industrial complex, which feeds the very problem it was supposed to solve. It requires perpetual homelessness in the same way that the military industrial complex requires perpetual war. As a result, we have more homelessness, not less!

Or examine the student loan crisis. Because the government guarantees the loans, loans are made without consideration for whether students will ever be able to repay them. There is no cost benefit analysis or return on investment. It's just take the loan and maybe get a degree, any degree. In addition, the government made it impossible to discharge these loans in bankruptcy. In effect it's a wealth transfer program to college administrators and a big fuck you to taxpayers and vulnerable students. All under the guise of helping people.
If you pay a huge amount of money to go to college and then have trouble supporting yourself for the rest of your life, there is a money problem. The problem is money.

Framing it as a money problem is narrow, but accurate with regard to what matters here.

There is more to college and learning than making money -- but money is sine qua non in life. If you don't have it, then pain and suffering will cast a long shadow over nearly everything else.
And then the alien with a better knowledge of their own history and development will retort, "They are really no different than we were when we carried our food supplies around on our uppermost IR signaler organ. Given that they are almost asking the right quantum questions, they are probably within reach of that critical spatial dimension compression discovery that changed everything for us. I give them 2-3 more revolutions of Planet 9. Granted, based on our survey of other developing species, they do have a 26% chance of blowing themselves up in the process."
Please explain to me how an electric heat pump - even one designed to be highly efficient in a cold climate - is supposed to keep me from freezing to death when my power goes out every winter from an ice storm taking down trees (which take down my power lines) when it's -17F outside. If I didn't have a propane furnace I'd have to fly to Florida every winter.

What do you mean by general studies? 20 of my 158 undergrad hours were something besides engineering, statistics, or math. We had no electives, only technical electives. Two of those twenty was my one english class, the engineering ethics of sci-fi. The rest was two philosophy courses (epistemology is fun), two psychology courses (cog-sci is fun) and two history courses required by the state. I did have to take technical writing and engineering ethics, which might be argued to be general studies?
The term you’re looking for is “skin in the game”. I would prefer if the advice comes from the man in the arena, not the one sitting in the gallery.
Or put succinctly, "Ideas are cheap, execution is everything."
I have no idea of the margins, and expecting customers to know about your operating costs without either disclosing them outright or asking the question is an... interesting take. All I can realistically do is compare with the competition, and the competition is cheaper across the board. Therefore my initial comment.

I'd have no problem paying more for a good product if it brings me something. In the meantime, I'm still left pondering. "Get lost" would be a rather crappy way to treat customers simply asking questions, wouldn't it?
