Same here. I'd love it even more if it was called "Lynx mode" as an homage to the sanest browser ever made.
Awesome. How do they know when to "stop"?

EDIT - found the answer:

> Because the metallic conductor is essentially a mirror at the wavelength of the laser, the process is effectively “self terminating”, that is the laser vaporises all of the insulating material down to the conductor and then stops, so no process control is required to prevent damage to the conductor.
To me it sounds like a Spanish j. For example, ĥodiau (today) sounds to me as jodiau.
Apple survived because Amelio had gotten financial controls in place and Steve Jobs was able to convince bankers that Apple had a future. The $150 million from MS was for show.

I really used to hate gender in (Romance) languages, but from gradually getting better at my second language (Spanish), I'm starting to see them as just a way to remember which word you were talking about (with an adjective) in languages without really strict word order.

In Spanish it's redundant, you can tell the gender of 99% of words from the ending, others are Greek neuter borrows that end in 'a' and are unexpectedly masculine, and most of the remainder have an inconsistent gender that depends on which country you're from.

So I'm not even sure that getting rid of gender simplifies much. Checksums are a good comparison. I am sympathetic to using 'e' endings when talking about groups or unknown people for the sake of bringing women into language parity with men, but that actually makes gender in Spanish more complicated.
Who said invading was not a big deal? Nobody said that.

If they plan to ever sell gas to Europe again, they'd have to pay the fines most likely. This does avoid the fine issue by sabotaging their own pipelines in a way that can be fixed later, at a relatively trivial cost, and it adds confusion into the situation for the allies.

Russia can now say: we can't turn the gas on even if we wanted to, we're not to blame, and we don't have to pay any breach of contract fines for it being off.
For sure people go broke from over spending and going into debt.

Since the OP, it has come to light that he was more of a small business owner bidding on jobs prior to covid, which makes a lot more sense how a sudden drop in available work could wipe you out.
I was faced with a problem like that. Heard the description of a task that a colleague was failing utterly to solve, figured I could knock out the bulk of it in a weekend.

Wrapped up the project 6 months later.

I don’t disagree with you, it really is magic what we can do with computers. Just doesn’t always work out like we think it will.
If you decide to use a webmail site, you can use the default email they provide as the registration email for the domain. Then, use the same webmail with the custom email too.

I use Protonmail for both and it works perfectly.
I've had it happen before - the salary was below expectations, and my way of doing things didn't click with theirs. It wasn't going to work.

So we just debated architecture and chatted about the field, as well as cool stuff the CEO was doing.

Another one where I totally flunked the technical interview. The interview question was something they actually implemented in the product. I asked the interviewer back what the right answer is, and he was happy to talk through it.

You should always get feedback from interviews. But don't use manipulative phrasing like, "If you didn't accept me for this job, what would the reason be?"
as I'm sure you're aware, bytecode interpretation typically implies a superior performing model than AST interpretation, and compiling into bytecode produces a lot of opportunities for optimization that are not typically feasible when working with an AST directly. Of course it's all bits and anything is possible, but it's assumed to be a better approach in a generally non-subtle way.

This would be great for English. So many people need help with their conversational or small talk skills. Would be great for them to be able to practice even if they are native speakers. For public speaking, office communication training, self confidence development, etc.

This trio is being charged with multiple counts of wire fraud. It's not just civil. They could conceivably face life sentences (especially the 80-year old). [They should have done some fake Musk, Saylor, or Cathy Wood livestreams isntead...those guys never get arrested or caught and make millions.]

This goes to show how tough the feds are when it comes to white collar crime, contrary to the popular myth that the US is soft on white collar crime.

Its a philosophical approach. Not a mathematical. It does not have to be one.

> what you would use to describe something which not only has limits of some kind, but is specifically limited in terms of how much stuff it has, in addition to being limited in terms of what stuff, and specifically, where the “how much” is limited as being less than some natural number.

That's a given set of specific limitations. Quite a mathematical concept. Like 'the set of natural numbers up to a given, large number'. It only makes sense within the given limitations and definitions, a precise mathematical use case. Otherwise if you dive into its details, like how an infinite amount of fractional numbers inhabit even that given large set of natural numbers, things go out of hand there too.

Are you sure this an outlier opinion amongst regular python users?
Nope. Do it that way and your pad still rips off.

You need to nail the pad down with a few vias (under soldermask is fine) or use a through hole. Please just use a through hole if you can. They're a lot more reliable than just about anything else. Even SMT connectors rip off boards without much trouble. (This is my job. I have seen some things.)
I'm very curious about this. It absolutely cannot be halting-problem-tricky for a browser to deduce that it is downloading multiple frames of video/audio and simply stop it. The MIME types alone should be almost a complete answer.

In the US, lack of CarPlay really only removes Tesla from consideration at this point. Everything else, from Ferrari to Kia, supports CarPlay. Is there another holdout I’m missing?
There’s also functools.partial as another option.

Same thing happened at a previous company I worked at about one year into the pandemic.

We still gave the guy until the end of the week to prove he could be useful.

He wasn't, so we let him go, but we would have kept him on if he was competent. Despite the fraud. Because it was such a pain to find a good dev at that time (not easy now, but not as hard, subjectively)
Well no, I imagine that that group would somewhat self select for developers who are okay with reading whitespace based syntax. Someone who finds it hard to read is probably not going to become a regular user of the language unless they have to.
Many years ago (1980 I believe) I heard the following rumor about a company I was doing some contract work for: they submitted two full time time cards for many of their consultants, one to a government customer, one to a private sector customer.
I'd love to see Optane used as the basis for a non-volatile OS. Unfortunately pretty much all our substantial software "needs" to be restarted occasionally, so a non-volatile system is not so practical :(
This is disgustingly sanguine and diminishing: this war is not about the country code next to a bunch of grandmothers’ names in a database somewhere.
I won't say I'm not annoyed at it. When I want to switch back to the Linux partition and Windows instead decides to spend half an hour installing updates, it becomes another reason not to switch to Windows the next time.

And CarPlay gets regular updates and support, where usually what you buy from the car manufacturer had better make you ecstatic, because it’s not going to change, and you’ll be lucky to even get bug fixes.
> Was there much software for DOS that actually needed a 286 as a minimum?

Unless you decided to run OS/2 or XENIX (which was really the big deal for the 286), the only advantage was you didn't need a special memory card to exceed 640k of memory with most DOS software - so maybe, roomier, faster XT... My first "real" computer was a 286 with 2MB of RAM... and I mostly used the upper 1MB as a RAM disk which made loading the next level on a lot of games much faster.
IMO, the killer feature of the Pinecil is that it takes both direct DC power input (like a TS100) and USB-C (like TS80). It's a great versatile little iron. While I have both a Hakko and Weller, I often reach for the Pinecil because it just feels fun to use.

FWIW, I have a custom domain with GMail for free. All incoming email to *@thedomain land in my GMail inbox, though replying is more of a faff since I have to individually add each one with its own app password pointing to GMail's own SMTP server.

Cholesterol and other parts of fats are the basic building blocks of a lot of things your brain needs. I have a hypothesis that sugar is the antithesis of this and that the benefits we're seeing from FMD are because you've limited their sugar intake.
Serious question.
How does this compare to purelymail.com?
I always hear good things about Fastmail but I've not had a chance to use it yet. I set up a Proton / Protonmail accounts years ago and have been happy as a clam with them ever since.

Work uses Gmail, though hopefully we can convince them to drop that in the future. May be a time to try fastmail then. It's a hard sell though; businesses get a lot out of the box with GSuite.
Agree Apple is using it as a play ground for CarPlay and never going to ship an actual car. Maybe at project inception that was a possible delivery. At this point with legacy makers actually making competent EV offerings.. no.

Car market has many challenges that cause production and sales to scale slowly. Even if they outsource manufacturing, like Fisker has down with Magna (which no one has done at the many many millions scale Apple would need to).. what about service centers?

Next cars face various tax, tariff and regulatory challenges far beyond any market Apple participates in today. They couldn't simply make the cars in Shenzhen and ship them across easily. Almost certainly some non-trivial amount of assembly would need to happen domestically which means a US workforce and potential union concerns. This is due both to tariffs and to maximize applicability of the new EV tax credit law.

Further, I don't think Apple likely brings any special sauce to ADAS/Autonomy, and its a hard challenge many of the current players underestimate & overpromise.

Oh and repairability and granularity of components/modules. EVs need to be serviceable in ways that phones/tablets/Macs are not. Car needs to be designed for this, and parts supply networks need to exist. This is not an Apple forte.

All this to enter a traditionally low margin, boom&bust industry? No thanks.
Yep, working for a BigCo and the culture was just as a matter of course to turn cameras on and see each other. I am really curious where the opposite is coming from
The obvious one to me is migrating off of cloudflare...

And cloudflare making it easier to migrate away, also makes it easier to migrate to, since you aren't quite so stuck.
I agree. The practical intuitive way to think about “infinity” I use is to simply use a variable N that can be arbitrarily large. And then reason about f(N). It stops you from asking nonsenses like “what is infinity divided by infinity?” since you have to explicitly use N when asking the question. As in “what is f(N)/g(M) for arbitrarily large numbers N and M?”. Which gives you a straightforward way to answer the question.
I don’t have a stated opinion on the strategic value, so I’m not sure what that’s a response to.

My opinion was solely that quote is weak evidence.
The original `f` was a binary function:

f = lambda x, y: x + y

My updated curried `f` is a unary function, but it returns a unary function itself:

f = lambda x: lambda y: x + y

That's what currying is. I just reused the name, if you prefer:

curried_f = lambda x: lambda y: x + y

EDIT:

And note, it makes the partial application less explicit/verbose than the original, but the currying is very explicit because of Python's syntax.

g = curried_f(3)

Is "just" a function call, while:

g = lambda y: f(3, x)

does the same thing (functionally, at least) but the partial application is made explicit.
It does seem rather like someone has just scanned for IT futurist stuff and put it all in a list - there's little consistency between many of the points, and sometimes little consistency within a point!
Those testimonials would rightly receive skepticism. Lot's of people say calorie restriction didn't work. It's not that the diet didn't work, they have a perception and accountability problem. Nothing overcomes thermodynamics.
Huge gift, Felipe! great work. You should be incredibly proud of your work - most of us never do anything this amazing! Looking forward to learning tons from this.
Wow. Good to hear. In that case, I should probably go back to using it.
I'm extremely enthusiastic about the company, I loved their product. I just couldn't deal with the concept of both Australian and American jurisdictions.

If they protected data by hosting in pro-privacy jurisdictions, I would be back in a heartbeat. As it stands, any claim about privacy is aspirational and completely unrealistic.
Then they would be external and the above solution would work?
I've worked exclusively remotely for the past seven years and a surprising number of companies I've worked for and interviewed for "strongly encouraged" on-site meet ups at difference frequencies (quarterly, bi annually, annually).

I never attended any meet ups. I felt guilty about it but like you're saying here, I signed up to work remotely, not in an office ever.
You could get a free email from a provider you trust. I have my domain's email in protonmail and use an email from another provider for my domain registration. I only use that email for important accounts, specially ones that I need to be able to access to control my domain (domain registration, bank, DNS/VPS hosting, etc)
“Other” is probably 90% from ~/Library/Application Support/. Because apps like Chrome are too lazy to split things out of there to make them legible to the OS — e.g. putting their cache dirs under ~/Library/Caches/, etc.
I bet we could figure it out based on bot activity we see across social media. Same explanations given with similar language. Given this is HN, I imagine it is straightforward to train an AI to figure this out.
I was primarily concerned with losing access to email and getting locked out of all my downstream accounts. Not so much an aversion to all things Google. So I still have gmail and still use Google docs. But for any important signups or comms, I use my Fastmail address.
Molex is great if you get the reflow-compatible models. Their older lines with the non-updated parts do have some issues at high temperatures. If you really care, look for glow wire tested parts. Or just, y'know, keep your iron away from them and buy spares for when you don't....
Nobody can predict the direction of the economy. If the past 2 years haven’t demonstrated that fact, then sheesh.

Not Zoom interviews, but there are Youtube videos of people messing up with other people on Omegle, with a fake skip screen. From the point of view of the pranked, what happens is they get to someone that ends up skipping them, get a different person, and the previous person shows up in the background or something.
Yeah, describing it as a perk always makes me gag. Why would I be attracted to working remotely AND simultaneously want to have my life upended every 3-6 months to travel?
YouTube is actually pretty good.

Whoever made your car published a huge book for mechanics to use on that specific model. That can also be a great resource depending on the manufacturer
Aging, schmaging... 50 is a whippersnapper!
I have had a long career in IT, starting (as a Cobol programmer in 1968 ie before the "aging programmer" was born!). Later I had my own systems consultancy, "retiring" some years ago. Never could leave the computer far behind and used Excel quite a bit but thought there should be a better way for some of these jobs. About 2 years ago, I started to learn Python, totally from the net and have written at least 150 scripts since then. At age 76, I have a new love (Python) and enjoy discovering new methods almost daily!
THAT is an aging programmer! But it is keeping me young, I think...

I’ve seen hundreds of millions in funding go down the drain in companies with daring requirements versus lack of technical creativity. In all cases the CTO, if there was one, was not technical and commanded no respect from the engineers.
A while back at $DAYJOB I tried to get a CI pipeline to bundle our docs as .chm, but the official tooling (hhc, with-or-without Sphinx as a frontend) is windows-only pre-unicode nonsense; the only Linux native chm compiler i found was Halibut (from the author of PuTTY) which has many of its own idiosyncrasies.

Is there any normal-looking way to make a chm from a directory full of html files?
> 2- Russia: they are losing the war and now throwing conscripts with not a day of training on the front. That's pretty desperate move to say the least. Whenever they escalate, they see that as a chance to break unity among the west. Blowing up their (now useless) pipeline is in line with another desperate move: at least try to make something useful out of it. If Russia loses the war, Putin is just dead (at least politically). He can't care less about Russia economy at the moment.

Russia isn't losing the war; they have a temporary setback. They have completely won the south but only have ~80k troops total in the country which limits their ability to organizationally maneuver and defensively hold territory simultaneously in the North. The HIMARS introductions has damaged Russia's logistical ability to resupply the large number of arty rounds needed to prosecute an arty heavy war.

Some of the Russian mobilization impacts those with previous military experience, and their reserve forces.

Remember, until this recent collapse in the North, they were rototilling the Ukrainian Army into the ground with Arty each day.

300k conscripts gives them the defensive force they need to hold space, freeing up their Army and Wagner to handle the offensive side of the campaigns.

With new Iranian drones entering the fray, and North Korea potentially entering the campaign to gain combat experience, this is likely to continue a great deal. Because North Korea uses Russian style artillery tactics, they are an instant fold-in to Russia's conventional arty dominant war.

The real question from a combat perspective is whether or not the mobilization of forces will enable the Russian supply lines to better hold.

The biggest gamechanger still on the table is that we haven't seen yet the introduction of true strategic (non-nuclear) weaponry on the Russian side, or, the targetting of Ukrainian infrastructure. The latter is likely to happen soon because the West is exploiting the Russian's soft touch towards seizing Ukrainian territory by sending a nonstop stream of heavy weaponry and resupply.
I find it odd that this isn’t a configuration option in any/all language compilers. I prefer indents to braces, but understand the hate others have. Turns out AST engines could convert them relatively easily.
