It feels like issues like those are more common in parsers, this specific kind of software.

But why?

Why is parsing so hard? or is it just in low lvl languages? or maybe languages with poor string primitives?

I've written parsers in high level languages and it didnt felt dangerous or insanely hard
Talking out aloud here...could vertical farming help here? My theory is that we only use so much land because it needs access to the sun. If we use LED's and stack vertically, we can condense down the footprint.

> The typical argument for vaccines is much less shaky than the typical argument for pure FP.

I suspect you aren't that knowledgeable about either.

> For one, vaccine people can actually explain why vaccines are good.

Unless you have a very particular background, I'm suspicious that you can actually follow the frontier of that argument. More likely, you're getting the ELI5 explanation.

> FP people seem to mostly just repeat variations on "it's easier to reason about" and showing trivial functions that are generally not easier to reason about.

Well-designed FP languages reify coherent low-complexity formal semantics. When FP advocates say "reason about", they mean in a (semi-)formal sense. No popular imperative language has any kind of denotational semantics, so good luck reasoning about the compositional behavior of C++ libraries, unless your definition of "reason about" is "think about informally".

Horrible news. The government should run these networks, just like payments platforms.
I agree with your first statement but per the data on aggregate miles travelled I disagree there's actually a demand increase. Ultimately the Fed can't control either supply or demand directly but they try to indirectly control demand by increasing the cost of borrowing. Will it work? Consult your magic 8 ball.
Hmm, what is it that Node is doing that’s so bad? I don’t understand why that issue is a big problem.

This explanation in the comments makes sense to me:

Transpilers can add the ability to add extensions at compile time, so a specifier like './file' can be rewritten to './file.js' during compilation along with whatever else is getting converted by the transpiler.

It seems sensible for Node to expect fully-qualified imports, just like a browser would. And (to me) it seems sensible that in a language like TypeScript you should be able to import “foo.ts” and it have it transpiled to the correct filename.

Now, that does not work in TS because they adamantly refuse to modify any of the emitted JavaScript code at all, with no clear explanation except that it’s long-standing policy. Instead they expect you to import “foo.js” in TypeScript, even though that file doesn’t exist until after compilation. That’s a problem, and it seems like it’s caused by the TS team, not Node.

Building the system that understands how the AI is coming to certain results/conclusion is probably way more complicated than the AI itself.
The standard HN answer is because freedom of speech. That the problem is the one using the code, not the code itself.
The bit about plants benefitting more from intensity is, as far as I understand it, false - plants are only sensitive to light in fairly narrow wavelengths, which is why grow lights aren't necessarily white. (Source: partner is a professional horticulturist who sourced grow lights for the botanic gardens he works at)

However, GP may be right about the conversion efficiency destroying any gains that you might get from re-emitting light in only those wavelengths. The energy conversion efficiency of even the most efficient LEDs seems to only be about 50%, with the rest emitted as heat. (Source: just a quick Google, so take with a grain of salt) And then you've got the solar panel efficiency on top of that, plus any necessary voltage conversion. Definitely quite a tough ask.
Haha... So I can use my awesome contactless magnetic separation+levitation 3D printable Void Switch design of course:

https://github.com/riskable/void_switch

...and so I can do this:

..and this:

You can clean it in the sink with soap and water because there's no electrical contacts or components in the switches.

... But that's really just scratching the surface of what it can do.
"I'm old enough to remember when the Internet wasn't a group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four."[1]

I think I first saw this posted on reddit, which was of course a screenshot of a tumblr post, which itself was a screenshot of the original twitter post.

The only thing that changes is the apps that provide screen grabs.

It is still there. 80% for free speech and 20% for political correctness with nearly a million votes.
I only see people saying it's superior. But that's not the same thing as berating.
I am like this. I even had that restaurant example a few weeks ago. I ended up ordering something different - or so I thought. When it came I remembered it was what I had enjoyed previously :)

My problem with an app like this is that it is a huge investment before it pays off. And will it pay off? Will I check an app while out for dinner? Some people might but I definitely wouldn't.
> Plants are grown on surfaces measured in tens of percents of country sizes.

That is cereal crop agriculture, which can't be done in vertical farms anyways.

Stuff like this is targeted at vegetables and herbs. There are still scale problems, but nothing like the kind associated with cereal crops.

The main issue as I understand it is that the sun is free outdoors, so it is hard to justify the cost of the equipment for indoor LED horticulture.
More like a pound of flesh.
I really would have liked to work with someone like that.

Funny enough, this also (over-regimented documentation and too many requirements) also happens in small organizations when they don't have the expertise to know doing systems engineering isn't to produce a pile of documents. Unless it's driven by someone from higher up, it's an uphill battle to say that we can get rid of 90% of requirements that's just a repeat of some section from different standards.
This is just like Zig's C compiler
This is a very good example of C++ being difficult to master. There are heaps of ways of doing one thing and usually there are just one or a few of those a good practice, but to explain the best practice's rationale, you need to know and tell a whole story. A simple cast even needs a story. Let alone smart pointers combined with normal pointers; ampersands and const qualifiers that have different meanings depending on where you put them and so on. You can fill a small book with explaining initializers, a big book with explaining templating. In the same amount of pages you can explain the complete ANSI C.
Or maybe many of us across the world see things differently.

We have good reason to fear and distrust the US far more, since we’re from countries that were targets of coups, sanctions, bombings or invasions.
You are paying a lot of money to be in that hospital bed, you can tell them to pound sand and let you sleep. They will get pissy but I figured after what my wife went though having some nurses think I'm a asshole is the better part of the deal.
Clearly the answer is to run high tension cables
It's easier to have lower lifestyle expectations when you get fulfilment from your work; much less inclined to show off with a nice car if you can tell people you're saving the world instead of selling lootboxes to children.
The problem is that infrastructure has a fixed cost, even with no usage, so in some ways it's arguable that the high fixed cost is making it so that big users aren't subsidizing everyone else.
Yes. So what?

Thank you! Been looking for good lights to start a small vertical farming setup.
Even "worse", unresolved trauma affects people around you negatively, whereas it is typical that you have a blind spot for how exactly until you face it. I really strongly urge everyone to work on unresolved trauma, and not keep it "tucked away", even if it may feel like you have it under control and it is "not affecting you in any way".
Never heard of it until now. Quite a damatic story..

TLDR: Bicher called himself "The Wolf of Airbnb," leased dozens of apartments, breaking them into short-term rentals that he then listed on Airbnb, Craigslist, Facebook’s Gypsy Housing, and other online marketplaces for a pyramid scheme to collect security deposits. When renters showed up they would find other people already living in the units. Landlords who tried to crack down on his illegal sublets couldn't get rid of him when he claimed COVID hardships.

It's darned good marketing. Simple and effective.
If you believe in the epistemic power of "studies" to convey useful information in these domains, I have bad news for you - you are the one in a religious fervor.

The only semi-objective metric you've proposed is compiled code performance, which is a fairly small component of most people's utility function, especially when the difference disappears in all but numerical-computation-centric applications.
Weren’t those utilities public, not private?

"In May 2019, [Cree] sold its Lighting Products division to Ideal Industries... In March 2021, the company sold its LED Business to SMART Global Holdings for up to $300 million... In October 2021, the company changed its name to Wolfspeed."[1]

I'm pretty confused by this announcement. How is "Cree" doing anything, when their name changed to Wolfspeed and they no longer have a lighting products or LED business? What gives?

You gotta try it. I don't think it's an overexaggeration
A lot of people in the comments here aren't happy with people using tons of dependencies, but what else do you expect from ecosystems that (a) make it easy to download and publish packages and (b) don't have much of (b') a standard library or (b'') set of blessed solutions?

This isn't a case of 'oh, python (javascript, etc) programmers are dumb and lazy'. If C++ had a packaging system and it wasn't so horrible to add third party dependencies we'd be seeing the same thing there.
What you’re taught as an entry-level diver: if you don’t have a clear path overhead, you’re at way more risk. 30m down with a clear view overhead is less dangerous than 5m down in a shipwreck, and there are other counterintuitive things you have to internalize. Decompression sickness from a too-fast ascent is treatable (especially from the 30m limit of the entry-level licenses) - drowning, not so much. Brushing your flippers against the ground can knock up a potentially hazardous amount of silt/sand. You can have trouble telling up from down (look for your bubbles).

I’ve not been in nearly 15 years, so more experienced divers PLEASE correct me.
“ Any city may now pick up the 469 Stevenson St. manual and use it to impose an unreviewable death by delay on almost any housing project it wants to kill.”

Anyone who doesn’t understand California housing politics won’t understand why every city would want to arbitrarily kill every housing project. California cities don’t want housing in THEIR city. They want housing in their neighboring city and want the commercial buildings in their own city. This is because Prop 13 prevents cities from collecting RISING taxes from residential properties (but they can collect rising taxes from commercial properties)

This is why California looks obscenely underdeveloped despite its GDP per capita rising 15x in 50 years.
Meh, possibly a bit late. I miss soup.io though. I always thought it was a much better execution than tumblr as the layout wasn't as chaotic. Looks like nowadays it's just a news-site though.

It had similar NSFW niches which had interesting content to follow. Just people doing their thing and what they are passionate about.

For context:

> Soup.io was originally an Austrian social networking and microblogging website. It was launched in 2007, attracting 6 million users per month by the year 2020.

> As the network grew over time, maintaining the website and server cost had gone over their budget. Since the site was not generating any revenue, the owners of Soup.io had decided to sell the website with its content.

> While the asking price was high with its content, the owners decided to sell just the domain to an Australian entrepreneur named Haider Ali in the year 2020.
Python got me into programming. I found about 3D and Blender after I got my first computer. While researching tutorials, I come across a book about creating games with the Blender Game Engine. I got interested, and installed Python on my PC. There was a tutorial section inside the help file, and you could test everything inside the IDLE app (Even GUI programming with Tkinter). No need to download anything else, which was a huge boost as I did not have proper internet at home.

Python is straightforward to get started with. More so than JavaScript because, you do not need to learn 3 languages and can do quite interesting stuff without learning a lot of stuff at once. C is also easy to teach, but all hell breaks loose when you got to pointers.
Designator-list support has since been added. The multi-layer designators are still to be done, though (they're rarely used, so are a lower priority).
If someone knew the answer, they would be currently shorting the affected commodities/securities and deciding on whether they would want to purchase a penthouse unit in a 50 story building or in a 100-story building (instead of posting about it on HN). Alas, no one can answer for sure.
But why? where does the complexity come from
I disagree. I need to write this up in more detail but it helps quite a lot.

1. An attacker who can access your development environment and your production environment is worse than one who can only access your production environment. You might say "but the end goal is prod", but it's not that simple because of (2).

2. We already have very good tooling for isolating services at runtime. Separating them onto different instances, firewall/security groups, limited API keys, docker/ containers, apparmor, selinux, etc. We have a lot of tooling for "a service in production is owned". What we lack is "a library in dev environment is owned".

3. Devs often have more privileges than your services. It's unfortunate but at a lot of companies, perhaps given some lateral movement around dev envs, you'll find SSH keys to production, browser session cookies that give you console access, source code, chat sessions, internal documents, git keys, gpg keys, etc.

So I'm actually fine with a tool that sandboxes the build process but leaves open the hole of "but the attacker can patch the binary and execute code in production". That's a huge win.
Not as much as you'd think.

A modest amount of storage (for which there are a variety of options including conventional batteries, flow batteries, and pumped storage), as well as demand management (run your heat pump hot water and charge your EV in the middle of the day) is more than enough to deal with the intra-day mismatch between supply and demand.

That storage isn't cheap but is likely much cheaper than launching the equivalent amount of solar array into space, where the constant supply of power still means you need to either overbuild the array or build storage to supply peaks in demand.

The other thing to keep in mind is that few grids will be purely solar-powered; most large electricity grids will have wind in the mix as well.

Where the equation starts to look a little more appealing is in, say, Canada and northern Europe, where your energy demand is strongly seasonal, and solar output is strongly seasonal precisely the wrong way to meet that demand (unlike, say, Australia, where peak demand correlates reasonably well with solar energy availability).
I always hear the at scale claim, but have never seen it even in larger code based. The academic literature also seems far from conclusive. I get why people like types, but I think they’re a bit oversold.

It is a bit more consequential than being CEO. Musk owns the whole thing and pays for it himself
This will sound like a daft question, but this discussion will be completely different on every reload correct?
Both based on my experiences and having worked on mobile infrastructure (though not messaging), I am puzzled why this would trend in the wrong direction. Messaging is all IP since LTE. I can imagine poor integration/operations in parts of networks still using an SMSC and IP/SM gateway. But why would there be a general trend against interoperation?
Musk doesn't own Twitter, advertisers do, and they will, until Twitter somehow finds alternative revenue sources. All the nonsense people post about "democratic oversight of Twitter", or "independent" policy enforcement boards, completely obfuscates this.

Most people are not being lucid enough: platforms didn't ban Trump because of some rigorous decision-making; they did so because they knew advertisers would destroy any platform that kept him on. Same with any other high-profile bans. Musk can't unban these people without advertisers crushing Twitter.

Keep in mind that bigger corporations spend a larger percentage of their revenues on marketing than SMBs. With Pareto's law, this means the largest corps in the world represent a huge fraction of ad spend. Twitter, news media, and all major online platforms are completely owned by the largest corporations on Earth.
