My impression was that it stalled out mostly because to make good use of Observables you need a pipeline library like RxJS or xstream anyway, it's not the job of TC-39 to pick a "winner library", and if you are always using libraries anyway it's "easy enough" to just align the libraries themselves for interop with each other through duck typing, which they all sort of did on their own. The syntax that these libraries could benefit the most from is in the separate Pipe Operator proposal, which has been progressing through the stages and doesn't seem to be stalled, and there's intentionally no direct dependency on Observables (as the Pipe Operator also works great for Iterables libraries).

It may still be useful to get the Observables proposal further along for the same reasons it is great to have Promises standardized including in terms of encouraging usage in more native APIs. It is kind of silly that none of the SomethingObserver browser/DOM APIs (ResizeObserver, IntersectionObserver, et al) naturally return things that are duck-typably Observables despite "Observer" in their name and always need Observable wrappers.
I think you’ll find it’s rather ‘the approved implementation follows the attitude’ - of senior leadership+the unions anyway.

These aren’t technical limitations, and there are a lot of police agencies - a few who are on top of things and see it as a way of keeping their officers honest and getting to the truth, and a lot of them looking to CYA.

I wonder what product decisions the EU will make for Apple next. Maybe Tim Cook should just hire them. Imagine that first conversation:

[Apple Employee]: What other great product ideas do you have for Apple? [Legislator]: BRING BACK MY HEADPHONE JACK YOU FREE MARKET BULLY!
Then you take if from there - if you regret your experiences, perhaps try different choices and learn from them. If you don't, then there is much to celebrate.
I don't get it. No side denies that there was some sort of struggle which resulted in his death - how can that be accidental? Why would a "medical examiner" make that judgement?

My mistake. Thanks for the correction!
Certain minecraft survival servers certainly, if they have the player count to make it feel "massive". Sometimes servers establish group protected towns or cities (these work like linux group permissions on files but over an arbitrary dimension of blocks in the server map) and there would be shared resources, e.g. a farm or chests full of leftover cobblestone from mining for diamonds, or even tools free for use to members of the group.
Sure. There could be entirely ‘reasonable’ reasons for these injuries, but my smell test indicates that more questions are in order.

What are you guys currently using for Stable Diffusion on OSX with M1?

There are so many variants and forks that I don't know which one to install any more. Something that takes advantage of Metal and the CPU cores.

Any that retains the "upload a sketch and then add a description" feature?
I kind of feel like dependabot alerts should be treated like a coding convention error - that extra whitespace isnt actually causing a problem but we fix it right away.

Otherwise you have to start analyzing the alerts, and good luck with that. The low severity ones are marked critical and the scary ones are marked low. Suddenly you have 200 unfixed alerts and its impossible to know if somewhere in that haystack is an important one.
you do not need data to know that hundreds of millions of people using one less cable will = hugely lessened waste
This is part of why I prefer to use LIKE directly when the thing I'm doing isn't actually a regexp. Then again, it's equally easy to screw up the %, but I feel it's maybe more visible (due to the less common characters). [My primary reason is clarity for the reader, so they don't have to attempt to parse the potential regexp].

More pernicious than ? is . though. Not that it matters in your case, but a lot of matches really can be "oops, a one character substitution totally matches, too".
> A lot of larger tech companies were announcing hiring freezes or restructuring months ago to get ahead of the downturn

Alternately, I think a lot of companies are using the spector of a recession as cover for reducing unproductive or unnecessary headcount.

Over-hiring is an issue that's difficult to correct. If you do a round of layoffs, the perception is that you're in financial duress. This can affect investor and consumer confidence.

It's also difficult to explain to the public and to employees "oops, mia culpa! We asked you to upend your life to take a job with us, but our bad, we don't really need you."

I see it as similar to the way a lot of businesses implemented cost-cutting measures during covid that they had very much wanted to do, but couldn't because of the worry that they'd lose a competitive edge. Many of these measures had nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with cost cutting.
I live in a residential area outside of a military base. Civilians accidentally drive into the base's properties and roads all the time. The most that happens is that someone in camo tells you that you're trespassing and to not do it again. Speaking from experience.
I think GDP growth will be positive in Q3 when it’s announced. Current estimate is like 2.4%
> Those can all be planned for.

Literally nothing can be planned for. Compare the Fed dot plots at any given meeting since 2008 with actual rates a year, or three years hence. Look at the BoE and BoJ flail wildly around right now, absolutely shocked by the consequences of their own actions less than a year ago.

These people have arguably a worse predictive ability than the canonical South Park Chicken ritual.

Central Banking is the only industry I know of in which you can be catastrophically wrong, always, and retain job security. Great gig, if you can swing it.
I allocate all my SSD space to one ZFS pool and then:

- I can easily create new subvolumes (filesystems or block devices), for different mount points, containers, other distributions, VM disks...

- The free space is shared between all of them, no need to anticipate a partitioning layout

- I have a service that automatically snapshots some of them, others not

- I love the ZFS tools, I'm very happy to use them on all my machines

- I use NixOS everywhere and so it's also easier to share the same conf on all my machines

- I can send volumes easily from one machine to the other (zfs send)

I probably miss other things, but I also love consistency ;)
"The write path. We built a daemon that would select log entries that were older than two weeks, copy them into a file in S3, and delete the rows from the database"

Seriously... How can you ever consider saying "a rdbms is just fine as a kafka alternative" under those conditions ?
That puts the onus on Tinder/Hinge/etc. to find the best "offerings" to present me. In my, and most others', experience, that doesn't work out well.

Give me all the options I have time for. If you really are good at deciding what matches will work best for me, then present them first. There is no good reason to hide the options you think won't work out for me: the failure case is not matching, and that is painless.
My dad gave me them as a (fantastic) gift. They're tough. I haven't sat down and really gave them the old college try yet, but I want to at some point. I do feel a bit like a phony having them on my shelf without reading them yet though. They are brutal though.

A simple way to verify this is to observe that common mirrors also tend to be green, showing that the other colors are absorbed more by the mirror. If you face two mirrors towards each other you will see a lot of green.

Broken ribs are common from CPR. They even mention it during CPR training (and they told us to keep going anyway).

I don't remember anything about liver lacerations but a quick google does say it happens: looks like the sternum can slice your liver during compressions[1] (warning: graphic).

No idea on head injuries or a broken neck from "grappling" though.

This makes the most sense to me, esp considering it lets him avoid potentially messy depositions of himself and his billionaire friends.
Since security vulnerability alerts are already created and processed manually (e.g., every Dependabot alert is triggered by some Github employee who imported the right data into their system and clicked "send" on it), adding an extra step to create the right rules doesn't seem impossibly resource intensive. Certainly much more time is spent "manually" processing even easier-to-automate things in other parts of the economy, like payments reconciliation (https://keshikomisimulator.com/)
Witness intimidation is definitely a felony, even (especially) when the police do it.
Don't use WiFi? Seriously...string a wired ethernet cable to the ISP modem. Try that first. See if it fixes things. It's entirely likely there's just too many talkers competing for finite WiFi bandwidth.
Why is this on Hacker News?

Seems very non tech related and the type of article that generates heat rather than light.
Well maybe it's because you're also misguided. You missed the part where they use USB-C where appropriate. Think for just a second about how people use different devices, and you'll understand. Or if I have to explain: iPads are mostly used by responsible adults (such as parents). iPhones are used by a wide range of people who might be charging them while driving on the road, while sitting in a chair, in a public transit terminal, etc. iPhones need a much more rugged connector. So I suggest that you "think for half a second before writing".
Yep — mirrors are coherent while white paints scatter, even though they reflect similar amounts of light.

Fairly sure the USB-IF was already working on that. They don't move fast.
I am a hobbyist lisp developer and have written webapps in CL.

I use cl-who[1] for generating html and parenscript for javascript. I use clack on the backend, but hunchentoot is probably more popular. Both backends have plenty of routing libraries available (hunchentoot comes with a decent one baked in, clack does not).

postmodern is a Postgres specific sql backend that is great. There are database-agnostic SQL libraries as well (clsql and cl-dbi I believe are the two big ones) but I haven't tried them.

1: People whose opinions I trust have told me that spinneret is a better choice. It did not exist when I learned cl-who. cl-who is "good enough" for me that I haven't switched.
i've been collecting other explanations of how SD works here: https://github.com/sw-yx/prompt-eng#sd-model-values
I never understood people asking those questions. High school stuff is so basic that it's less about learning a particular subject and rather more about getting to know some common language that can be used to discover the world around. I hated some of the subjects I wasn't interested in back then, like biology or history, but I'm still glad that something has remained in my head because now I can have at least some basic clue in conversations surrounding those subjects and have some reasonable starting point in case I actually decide to pursue some understanding of a given topic. I believe that's the whole point of high school education after all.

And not even talking about the fact that if you don't know <SUBJECT_NAME_HERE/>, you're simply not going to notice all the places where applying it could be useful.

As is stated below countries with similar systems cooperate easier, Scandinavia, Germany, Netherlands are more or less automatic. This is slowly getting better, EU is working on it. Some key words: EESSI with RINA (stands for reference implementation..), and more generally "single digital gateway eu".

There is an obvious difference: the right to keep and bear arms is enshrined into the constitution under the regulation, "shall not be infringed". There is no such right for vehicles.

I would hope whatever the response to a Russian nuclear attack would be, it would absolutely not be "Staying the course". That would signal weakness and that it is "ok" for not only Russia, but any other country to use nuclear weapons in a conflict as neither the US nor any other country would intervene.

IMO a conventional warfare steamrolling of Russian forces by NATO allies all the way back to the Russia/Ukraine border would be an appropriate response, albeit likely an extremely unpopular one.
If you have the time to write this all out - you have the time to find the supporting statistics. Most women don't use online dating - they've tried it but they don't use it. This is why the apps are overwhelmingly male. (Anywhere from 2:1 (lowest I've ever seen) to 9:1 depending on region and app)

High income women end up marrying their college partners. A lot of these gals meet their partner in college and never separate. That's how I see it for the majority of women I've known in SV. Exceptions being those who didn't go to college and weren't going to pursue a high income profession (or were but bailed on it) but inevitably chose it later.

It's hard to meet these women because they are few in percentage and like most women - they don't go out to meet men. They might use dating apps, they might date a coworker, they might date someone in their social circle. So, you're not likely gonna meet them organically at a hobby or anything.

It's a rough world for men out there.
Except everyone who talks about how to read the books successfully--including the books themselves--talk about jumping around in them in a way that requires a lot of skimming.

I don't find the text in any other book I own to be insufficient, or even noticeably that different from Knuth's books (with the obvious exception of some fly-by-night print-on-demand stuff purchased off Amazon in recent years). It's an assertion in want of proof. TeX might be the greatest example of Yak Shaving in human history: Knuth spent at least 30 years between Volumes 3 and 4 to work on TeX because of dissatisfaction with layout in V3.

This is what I'm talking about. Notice the use of colored blocks and whitespace to break up the flow of the page, to callout different asides and section headers.

Adding whitespace doesn't have to make the book longer. It could just make the book wider. Besides, paper is cheap.

> you could pass that as some new language

...why would you think that a new standard isn't a new language?
If it must not be linux, I would recommend going for something embedded, like FreeRTOS or similar. The advantages:
- Linux + Real Time has become a buzz word, and you will find lots of bad information
- If you want to learn HW, nothing better as embedded, where you interact with the hardware.
- The FreeRTOS is so small you can really understand it pretty fast. You can see how it is made, much easier than Linux.
- The essentials you learn with that, will work with Linux later.
LiteFS author here. It depends on the application. You can check the replication position on the replicas and simply wait until the replica catches up. That requires maintaining that position on the client though.

An easier approach that works for a lot of apps is to simply have the client read from the primary for a period of time (e.g. 5 seconds) after they issue a write. That's easy to implement with a cookie and it's typically "good enough" consistency for many read-heavy applications.
We treat a broad spectrum of issues linked to the developmental delay of the central nervous system and underperformance of the prefrontal cortex with rigorously studied drugs with proven benefits to patients. Just checking, you have no problem with Methylphenidates, just the one that sounds like "meth" but actually isn't? Any powerful drug can be abused. It's up to professionals to prescribe accordingly. I guess this is another case of where the US medical system gives everyone else a bad name (just not those outside the US who have good medical systems and don't suffer from the same issues).

Trying to make the case that ADHD is not well studied is plain wrong. It is incredibly well studied. The assumption that we can't possibly understand it because "it's the brain" is just wrong, there is a huge amount we know about the brain. I don't know what you're getting at with this ECG business but we've been doing EEGs on people to diagnose epilepsy for 60+ years.

ADHD is already understood as a incredibly nuanced and complex set of issues, the fact that so many people continually reduce ADHD to just "attention" or "focus" shows how little is known or understood about it by people who want to draw some tenuous observational links to... what ends... I don't know? Why do you care? A tiny number of people who actually suffer ADHD would agree with anything you are saying, forgetting the just plain false statements and leaving the opinions they were trying to reverse some support for. ADHD is about dysregulation of emotion, impulse and yes, attention but much more than that, it's about how those fundamental differences effect every damn facet of your life in the most pernicious way and require you to spend more effort and energy to keep up, or fit in, or look normal or to remove you and protect you.

I can't talk to the American system (remember there's a whole world with decent healthcare out there) but just because one country has an issue with misdiagnosis and overprescription, doesn't change anything. What's your point. There are also plenty of non pharmacological interventions. Many that I can claim back through my national health care.

You're conflating to many associated but not actually linked issues and it's unsubstantiated rants like these that perpetuate the stigmatisation of those living with ADHD. You're not helping anyone.
One thing I've learned over the years is that this 100% depends on you and nobody's answer will really satisfy you, because the needs and routines of every individual can be radically different.

Do you care about energy consumption? If you do, you can pull in all that information into a dashboard, evaluate your usage patterns, and craft automations that ensure you're being as efficient as you want. Turn your lights/AC/music on and off when you go from room to room, etc.

Do you care about micro-optimizing your time usage? Create automations that support your daily routine. Tie your coffee maker's smart plug to the next upcoming alarm on your smartphone so you have breakfast ready by the time you get up. Have your garage door open automatically when it's time to go to work, and it's not a holiday, and your phone is at home, and your car is in the garage.

Do you care about eye strain? Have your smart lights change colour to match the light temperature of sunlight throughout the day.

Do you care about silly things that make you feel all powerful? Have your lights turn off, some white noise start, and all the smartphones in the house switch to Do Not Disturb when you plug in your phone to charge next to your bed after 10PM.

The sky is the limit. Over the years I've ping-ponged between "eh, this is not really worth it" and "this is actually incredibly convenient" depending on how my routine has changed.

I can see it both way. I never liked MMM types because they preach what I consider extreme frugality. As a core principle of my finances, I focus on the uncapped income side of the equation and practice what I consider modesty in my expenses. I have no desire to be flashy or flaunt the wealth I do have. But I’m sure as hell not living off the grid in the middle of nowhere because it cost 10% of a home in a metro area. Thing is, I’d never even consider it because my wife doesn’t want that, and it’s important for people to be fully aligned on that.

I found the post you linked to overly verbose as these bloggers often are. They make lists and sections and go on tangents on what could be a 300-500 word essay. I think he could have excluded the backstory and just focused on how important it is that your partner be onboard the FIRE/extreme frugality lifestyle. So I think it’s poorly written and not an enjoyable article. However, it’s a pretty damn important message and difficult to talk about until someone prominent that is serving as a poster child for the FIRE niche like MMM goes through it publicly.
