Same here. If the person doesn't derail the conversation, but provides context to how they interpret what I might be saying, that's comforting and shared empathy.
That actually seems like a pretty reasonable solution.

It would solve all the issues with private people/companies having too much sway. And the disconnect people have trying to reason about someone with that kind of world altering influence.

It would be like monopoly laws but for amphitheaters. I think we’d need to be much more aggressive with the definitions though and having fewer than 10s would trigger these laws.
Automating Tests for AutoCAD based development
Our company develops an add-on product for autocad, catering to a specific engineering vertical. We were testing the product manually so far.
Now based on the market needs, the development picked up momentum , and hence new codes are written daily by a team of developers.
We find manual testing of the software very time consuming.
The off the shelf regression testing software don’t support CAD OPERATIONS( pick points, zoom etc).
Looking for some advice/ suggestion, other than writing our own testing framework.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
heatwave is also caused by global warming caused by co2 levels as energy use rises with inflation.

inflation then widens wealth parity gap and social media reminds individuals to take risks they cannot afford and so on....

inflation causes stock prices to rise and factory outputs, exports to rise leading to more energy consumption.

civ 6 and the occasional game of Stellaris
Title is completely different from the actual post. This is against the guidelines.
That depends a lot on the specific gig and market. To use taxi services as an example, in some metros Uber has completely taken over the market and can thus reduce driver compensation or add fees for drivers. Hidden fees in particular are classic anticompetitive behavior.
If you're interested in the topic of consciousness, and particularly viewing it through a more computational lens, I recommend seeking out some of the interviews with Joscha Bach from the last few years. He's been on several podcasts, which can easily be found on YouTube by searching for his name.

He's clearly been spending a lot of time thinking through the topic. As a result, the interviews make for very engaging listening. Given the conversational nature, he doesn't always get to lay out the ideas in a linear fashion, but that almost seems to make it more interesting. I've gotten a lot of joy from repeat listens and piecing it all together over time
They are definitely not common carriers. That is a well-defned legal term, and Twitter simply does not meet the bar:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_carrier

> A common carrier in common law countries (corresponding to a public carrier in some civil law systems,[1] usually called simply a carrier)[2] is a person or company that transports goods or people for any person or company and is responsible for any possible loss of the goods during transport.[3] A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body, which has usually been granted "ministerial authority" by the legislation that created it.
> The connection is of course made in the parallel calculus-based physics class she is taking...

The physicists as always (a) are pragmatically out-front but (b) don't worry about whether their tools are internally sound so long as they make useful predictions.

Sounds about right. It is important for the aforementioned daughter to know this cultural difference between physicists and mathematicians if she is to be a good engineer. I believe this can only be learned firsthand if it is to be appreciated.
The people on that site are infuriating. I managed to spend about 60 seconds on that site before I saw someone say "racism = prejudice + power" in response to someone else saying you can be racist against white people. Why try to change the dictionary definition of a the word "racism" to mean "systemic racism", I wonder?
Also, all these savings have to be premised on "climate change will cost something comparable", but so far all we have is models that encode the scare function and whose predictions have been consistently failing since their inception. I.e., the savings are probably not real, but the costs of the transition needed to obtain those savings are real.
If you’re trying to find something truly novel, it might prove extremely difficult. In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell talks about finding something truly novel and extremes of success are a combination of experience, network, and time period. If you’re working 9-5, you can imagine that it’s tough to develop experience outside of your area of expertise, develop a network, or time something perfectly.

I’m not saying this to discourage you. What I mean is, maybe move the bar to create something that’s already been validated, or semi-validated. For example, a problem that you need solving that someone else hasn’t solved yet is semi-validated.

I’m wishing you the best, coming from someone who’s validating a niche product myself after building it and raising a seed while working a full-time job.
Wow, what a lot of hyperbole. Could you please show us some sources for the “openly corrupt” government?

I’d also like some more information about the shoddily built houses. If we’re talking insulation then yes they’re not particularly well insulated compared to a Nordic country. But we also have a very mild climate compared to Nordic countries.

New McMansions aren’t particularly well built but that’s the consumer driving the massive floor plan/minimum cost.

Building, like any other product is very much up to the consumer in terms of what they want to prioritise.

Specifically on mould, if the ambient humidity is, on average very high, no matter how well built your home is things will go mouldy. The solution is mechanical dehumidification/cooling but that comes with other penalties.
I had my own domain for many years, hosted on an OpenBSD server in my basement.

I've kept all of that on a ZFS volume, and one day when I'm retired, I will open them and read the thoughts of my younger self, and try to remember names I've long forgotten, many of whom are likely long gone.

From time to time, I've needed that archive for specific knowledge, but with a clear schedule I will reminisce its breadth.
“Real humans have not historically done these jobs”.

A tragically myopic argument to make.
Terrible way of thinking. Just saying yes is a sign that you’re not mature enough to communicate your disagreement tactfully and clearly.

Also, besides being the one to suffer the implementation of a terrible decision, you will most certainly be blamed for when things eventually blow up farther down the line.
In a discussion about Uber drivers you jump to slavery and nearly starving to death. Then follow it up with attacks on my "inexperience" and "inability to adequately reason."

You are the one whose confrontational and disrespectful manner of conversing impedes legitimate discourse. The person lowering the quality of HN discussion is you.
Maybe there should just be a way to for people to opt in to censorship in their feeds. For example, one could click on a "no racism checkbox" in order to have racist content removed from their feeds. This way, platforms would be responsible for detection instead of curation. It seems like it would be better for the platforms as well.
> Haskell is not a symbolic language

I'm not sure I understand what this means. What is a symbolic language that excludes languages like Haskell, F#, OCaml, etc.?
First, ask a good lawyer, don't trust anything on the open internet.

The law and jurisprudence in each country covers what (intellectual property or other rights) belongs to your employer and if you are allowed to work on anything outside of an employment contract. They default is usually that every activity and thought belongs to your employer.
Sometimes a well crafted non-compete, non-disclosure or employment contract can override a law, but that is never certain.

Be especially careful with preparations for starting a business or defining a business idea.

So what you can do as an employee is decided by a judge and nothing else is legally sure.
inflation causes rapid drop in education quality
There’s a difference between what should be and what is. Taking your ball and going home isn’t necessarily the right path.

Case in point: I was working as a contractor and SME for a big organization where the senior leadership was disconnected from reality for reasons that don’t matter. I don’t give a hoot about the culture. I’m there to do a job, and if I’m successful, my company probably gets more business, and we do something really amazing. If I fail, it costs me money and political/reputation capital.

As is often the case, the issue was that perceptions and misunderstanding caused the issue. Once we were able to relate the issue in the right way, most of the disconnect went away.

People are people and you need to play to their needs. Many executives are very insecure, for example, and have a bunch of tools at hand to detect and eliminate threats. We’ve evolved to do this… kids will appeal to mom, dad, grandpa in different ways to achieve the same ends.
How different? Newspapers have letters to the editor already.
I've been in quite a similar situation, in which we tried to redo everything without proper knowledge. That was a catastrophe. Please, don't promise a panacea to the managers - better code is not more profitable, necessarily. New mistakes will be made (inevitably) and old stuff may become unstable. Also, it's not uncommon that developers bail out due to pressure. Have your team prepared for baby-steps.
* Before doing any actual work, I'd suggest everybody reading Clean Code and Clean Architecture. You'll have a better understanding of SOLID principles by then.
* Start by adding version control and a separate environment for development / testing.
* Try refactoring the least important things first. If they crash, it won't be so critical. The most complex modules will end up with more quality.
It is most certainly the judicial consensus. You might argue that it's not a social consensus, but that doesn't magically override existing constitutional protections. Much the same as social consensus on guns doesn't override the Second Amendment.
Which gives you more chance at detecting such an attack. Without 2fa, the funds are already gone.
I always have them on because I have audio processing issues. Due to ADHD and other problems, my brain can’t process in real time. If I have difficulty understanding something, my brain stops hearing while I attempt to figure out what was said. My auditory memory has no buffering ability.

If I’m reading, I’m both able to understand faster and reread if I need to.
This sounds like a genuinely excellent idea
Good to know this isn't just my ears or my setup. This was most noticeable to me recently in Dune. So much whispering dialogue, with massive dynamic range and BRAAAM [0]. Using night mode on my receiver and cranking the center channel to +10dB works pretty well for me, though.

There's an expectation on MeFi that people's lived experience trumps people's hot takes.

Whereas in a lot of communities, HN included, a majority viewpoint, even if it reflects a very shallow understanding, can be immensely popular.

To some extent that's just bike-shedding, and maybe that's okay on HN, but Metafilter covers a wider range of topics, and handles a lot of them well.
Wildlander, a modpack for Skyrim Special Edition. Basically, it's Skyrim with a graphics upgrade, some new content, new survival mechanics, and a different philosophy.
This just moves the goalposts. Should they be determining what is racist and what is “acceptable” speech?
I'm a native English speaker and grew up mostly overseas in non-English speaking countries. Subtitles helped me understand American slang and conversational English that I wasn't used to hearing at home. I've also always struggled with distinctly understanding dialogue in films. It never had anything to do with active vs passive viewing. Another reason I always had them on was because I grew up in apartments and was always mindful of my noise levels for my neighbors. Using subtitles let me actively consume the film without worrying about bothering people around me. Now as an adult subtitles are my default for all media when available and I prefer it.
We (my good friend and I who both have 20+ years of experience) were brought in specifically do to the rewrite. We were new to the company. We actually had to rebuild the entire IT department while we were at it as well.

> new tech team immediately committed to rewriting the code base into ruby micro-services

well... sigh.

> These refactors inevitably failed to produce a meaningful impact to revenue

It sounds like less about the refactor itself and more about the skills of the team doing the refactor. You certainly can't expect a refactor to go well if the team makes poor decisions to begin with.
Because going through a struggle tends to turn people inward and makes them see everything, including the harm they do to others, as if they were a victim just doing what they have to do to survive. It is very hard to overcome it because you have to become a kind of martyr, who accepts the reality of their suffering but who's too holy to blame it on everyone else, or even on yourself.

Kids are often nicer than adults because their lives are so easy, but if they don't learn to bear a cross (this is the best metaphor I know) they'll become nasty as they get older, as people reject them and their health starts failing. It's one thing to be a nice young man, another one entirely to be a nice overweight balding 60 year old with joint pain and a skin disease. That's not to say it's about age. It's about how good you feel, and age is just the big conveyor belt that everyone goes down whether they're ahead or behind their demographic.

You can watch this play out in you next time someone says or does something annoying when you're still smarting from a minor injury, like a stubbed toe. You'll tend to act as if they were the ones who stubbed it because blame wants to earth itself.
Do you think earth was some kind of paradise before social media?
How many other people does an average Starbucks visitor interact with?

Now consider the same for Facebook.
Forward-mode automatic differentiation is always fun to see because of the power but simplicity of the method. Any language with pattern matching makes it almost trivial to implement.

Although, I'm rarely interested in <such and such> in <n> lines of <language>. The more interesting things are overall conciseness with regards to the problem, the expressiveness, and the clarity that the code produces.
Are we discussing a model? Or the real world?

We don't have to speculate about the experienced reality of gig workers. We can just ask them. Failing that, read any of the many exposés and reports.
While we are teaching actors to enunciate can we do the same with musicians? When I listen to music in German, I can almost completely understand it despite speaking German at a kindergarten level. When I listen to music in English, despite being fluent, it is almost impossible to discern the lyrics they are mumbling.
Don't understand why these are legal to sell, or even make.

Wouldn't be able to buy one of these in my country, or any IEC standards based country.
Right, I was confused because for some reason I imagined "sin" coming from the symbolic library, but I'm assuming it's just built-in so AD knows about.
What do you think “beg to differ” means?
So, television captions were terrible until the dawn of streaming. One could argue that DVDs (circa late '90s) were OK, but the captions were cartoonish, pixelated nightmare captions that nobody wanted on their TV, just as bad as the typical "closed captioning" of live network television.

Decent captioning really didn't occur until the age of Blu-ray and streaming, around 15 years ago; 1080p captions that were inobtrusive and in lockstep with the dialogue at hand. The 20-somethings would have grown up with perfectly acceptable, inobtrusive captions, and thus have no issue keeping them on-screen to avoid confusion when keeping the television volume at a reasonable volume.

I'm no 20-something, and we keep Blu-ray and streaming captions on in our household. This is a new thing in the past 10-15 years, and it has to do entirely with the quality of captioning and nothing having to do with anything else.
A model I've uses is one of risk. Whatever your idea is there are going to be a number of potential reasons it might not work out.

For some ideas the biggest risk is the market, does anyone want this? For others it might be the technology, is this even possible?

In a lot of cases you can do things to reduce those risks and give yourself more confidence to jump ship and go all in. That might be talking to people, it might be reading academic papers. In some cases, but honestly pretty rarely, it will be building something. Most of the time that can come later.

Not dismissing any of the great advice in here already around non-compete, company IP etc. most of this kind of work (research, conversations etc) isn't something your employer can "lock down" as concretely as an MVP. Plus if it is tangential to your current job and your idea doesn't work it, you may still end up better off from having learned something new.
It's vitally important to have a 2 second delay with closed captions. Without the delay you may start reading the dialog in advance, this degrades your enjoyment of the movie. Better to listen, and have the subtitles there as a backup 2 seconds later for anything you miss.
The hook for me in "Smells Like Team Spirit" beside the musical goodness were the lines

Entertain us!

It's a primal scream asking "Why was I born? For this crappy life?" Kobain studied philosophy casually as a working class boy like me, so I'm sure he came across Schopenhauer's idea that since life is suffering, it's better not to be born at all.

Someone had the same idea before me: There's a naked baby boy swimming in a pool like the cover of the most famous Nirvana album in the upper right of this article:

Is living really better than never being born at all?

A lot of devices do have this option, but it's buried in the menus and it isn't always the best quality.
Non sequitur. Inflation and education quality are unrelated.

(Perhaps they are related when inflation gets really bad, but we aren't anywhere near that. And, education wasn't great when inflation was very near zero for a decade, and neither was social kindness.)
It’s not enough to just make the event accessible to those with disabilities and make the food accessible to those with dietary requirements. You need to advertise it. If you don’t advertise it you’ve done it for nothing.

Nobody is going to rock up in a wheelchair unless they know they’ll be able to get in the door.

If you aren’t saying what dietary requirements you are catering for in event descriptions then anyone who has them is going to eat beforehand.

If in order to make your event to be accessible you require extra actions before the event on the attendee then it’s not accessible.

Airlines are the worst at this. At so many of them if you have dietary requirements or accessibility needs you have to make phone calls, send emails or go to obscure desktop only sections of their website after booking. If you want to be accessible then provide the information upfront and learn the right things to ask for in order to make requests seamless.

US does that too; it has obscenity laws, copyright laws, state secret laws, and plenty more laws that restrict what you cannot say.
Before I permanently cancelled cable TV in 2009 I remember the TV remote had instructions printed on the back for first line troubleshooting. It said make sure your TV and the cable box have power cables plugged in, and that the TV is set to the right input. That was probably their #1 phone call.

Such an important topic. Thanks for reminding me.
I had the same reaction initially but then realized that this makes the variable declaration / initialization syntax very consistent.

variable: Type [= initial_value];

// initializes foo to an int with an initial value of 43
foo: int = 43;

// initializes main to a (presumably, as I haven't read the
// spec yet, const)pointer to a function that takes no
// arguments and returns an int.
main: () -> int = {
...
}

It's not location data directly, but instead some measurements. I'm not sure how precise the location will be that Google obtains about you. All I know is that the name of the protocol is called SUPL, and the domain it connects to is supl.google.com. You can see it written here in a config variable, e.g. for lineage OS:

There is a second network service for AGPS that connects to qualcomm hosted gpsonextra.net, but that IIRC just downloads a bunch of binary blobs with satellite data inside. It's not an interactive service where you send your position to it. You can find gpsonextra.net in the same gps.conf files that you can find SUPl URIs too.
