And that is the school of thought that requires there to never be progress. If society is actually colorblind, racism disappears because everyone gets treated the same. There would be no more boogeyman to point to. It would mean that if some still lagged behind, for whatever the reason, and whatever they may look like, that it is actually their fault. That's silly, of course, because oppression comes in more dimensions that just race.

But race is the key to the game plan for people in that "school." There can be no new dominance hierarchy with colorblindness. Those claiming colorblindness as oppression, are merely those seeking to invert the oppression and get their turn. I once read someone express it as "rather than trying to do away with the jackboots once and for all, they're trying the jackboots on for size themselves."

There are so many things I think about "if I had just done X in those few weeks before moving in the furniture".

This is an opportunity - you might want to brainstorm X.

I've never had an issue with code generation in Go. However, they do tend to be verbose - hopefully they will start using generics to re-use the common bits and cut down on the amount of generated code!

The only instance I've had issues with them has been when generating code for things like schema languages (like GraphQL) on large projects where if you click to check the definition of a function/struct, the editor struggles a little to open up a file with tens of thousands of lines of code.
I'm not sure I'm understanding this. Don't you have to test that the implementation of foo returns the correct result (or writes the correct value in the db) both in Ruby and in C++? But I've not used compiled languages for a long time so maybe I forgot something important.

First, like some commenters, I believe you may be depressed. If you have resources to help you, please seek it out to verify. The more personalized (counseling) the better.

Second, any chance you are passing time by watching tv and surfing the internet?

There’s a period of my life I used to watch a lot of tv series and doom scrolling. Looking back, I was depressed with my studies. These mindless activities helped to numb my soul, making life less painful.

Slowly though, I realized the cognitively cheap entertainment was a form of addiction, and that it was robbing me of my creativity and energy.

Third, regarding exercise and diet. Super critical. But! You need to find the right kind that suits you. I highly recommend bouldering. You can do it alone, any time, and there’s a clear and constant progression you can see. Also, people are generally nice and social.

Show HN: PhrasePump: Learn Languages by Listening to Tatoeba Sentences
Link: https://www.languagereactor.com/phrasepump

About a year ago Me and Og started to make a flashcard function for 'Language Learning with Netflix'/Language Reactor, as exporting to Anki was a bit of a painful process for users. During development, some opportunities presented themselves:

Why teach a word with a single saved sentence, when you can vary the sentence every session?

Isn't sound the primary medium of language? Let's make it a big listening practice.

Why do I have to go looking to words to save? Let the software suggest what to learn.

It's called PhrasePump because it relentlessly firehoses phrases at you. If you are happy to be thrown in the pool at the deep end, it actually makes a pretty nice way to start to learn a language. The tool knows about word frequencies, but it's completely grammar-deaf. All tenses are thrown at you from the beginning. But brains are quite good at picking out patterns, learning this way is quite exciting.

Sentences are read using the latest neural TTS. Items are scheduled using an advanced library, 'Ebisu'. You can use it to study about 40 languages, with any translation language. Words you learn are highlighted when you watch Netflix/Youtube (integrated with Language Reactor extension). It's free to use, but if you pay the cashcash, you can star specific phrases to review again and change the order in which you learn words. Free is fine though. It's a website, no app yet.

It's intended for desktop browsers, but actually Og patched up the code this evening so it's useable on mobile.

AFAIK, the F-15 was in fact the first fighter that could accelerate vertically. I'm not sure the F-14 ever had enough power to do that. IIRC some newer variants of the F-16 can do it with the improved engines, as well as other modern fighters.

I miss watching F-14s at the airshows. It was always a good show. Though I have to say, having recently watched a solo F-35 demo and having modest expectations, I was impressed. It may be a boondoggle and massively overpriced, but it seems to have the performance now.
This is not to be confused with the Hayes command set with is also called "AT" and is still used by mobile data modems.

> 1. Codegen is powerful, and often easier to understand than a mountain of typelevel magic.

I disagree here. And I also don't like your framing.

Yes, type-level logic is harder to learn than understanding code you already read everyday.

It's also easier to count and calculate with your fingers and use concrete examples rather than learning abstract math. But we still do it, because in the end you learn it once and have a powerful tool that makes you more productive for the rest of your life and allow you do to things that you otherwise would never have been able to.

The same is true for code-generation in my opinion. And I believe it will change for Go as well. Go is not getting generics for no reason. It is because the push is strong - Go has more inexperierenced developers using it compared to other languages. But over time, they will turn into experienced developers. They learn more concept and want to become more productive. So they will gradually ask for more and more features until Go is nothing like it was before.

> 2. A good ORM solution should really build in permissions and composing mutations at a deep level. The previous generation of ORMs like ActiveRecord left this stuff to user space to everyone’s detriment.

Totally disagree. You can never solve those problems in a generic way for any domain. Just make it easy for the user to do it themselves.

> 3. Embedded DSL as query language is a blessing and a curse. It’s better than forcing engineers to learn a weird alternative to SQL strings, but more frustrating to experts. Use these tradeoffs with caution!

That's because SQL as a language has very very limited capabilities for abstraction. So every language will create a DSL to deal with it, even languages that can parse all the SQL and validate it at compile-time. Same reasons that I gave in 1.)
I remember my SPARC workstation had Copy and Paste keys. So much better than the awkward Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V combinations (especially considering that Ctrl+C stops a program when used on a terminal).
Compressed plastic bricks is above ground landfill, in that it has many of the same problems. The various toxins and problems with plastic over time? Now your walls are built of it.

Perhaps generated by burning the waste plastic we can't bear to be without.

Same thing with me at my job. Super tiny team, just a couple of people. I played around with replacing some of our python with rust and it blew me away how easy it was (once I understood rust at a basic level) while also being so much faster.

Similarly, none of that code lives today because the team is too small and nobody else knows rust, so we're sticking with python everywhere
Twitter's appeal is outrage and controversy. Their users are addicted to it, even if they don't care to admit it.

That's why no significant migration to Mastodon will take place. Even if you do manage to lift and shift your bubble (you won't), you'll then find yourself in a calm and slow place where nothing happens.

For a bubble to exist and thrive, it needs a common enemy. With the enemy removed, it collapses. Everybody inside couldn't care if they never heard from you ever again. They were never a friend, just people who agreed.

If you want a group of like-minded people sharing stuff, there's a million options. Go to Discord, start a Whatsapp group, a subreddit, whichever. But that's clearly not the point. Hardcore Twitter users want their hot take to be heard in public, with "enemies" listening in.
Yes, it is just such a ritual. It makes consumers feel good so that corporations don't have to work so hard at reducing their waste. This is deliberate, I believe.
Religion/spirituality, which might be 3. But meditation gets you into a place where you just go "I'm unhappy" without the unhappiness actually consuming your life. Religion removes sources of unhappiness - you make peace with your inevitable death, missing a limb, missing a child, being broke, not being smart enough, wanting more, and so on.

Cost cutting.
Depending on the crime it's neither of those things. First and foremost it's simply segregation from the rest of society. If you go around killing people, then segregated stops you from continuing to do so (in theory).

As for smaller crimes which carry time, then that begs the question of whether its for punishment or rehabilitation. Perhaps it's both, being stripped of your freedom to participate in society for years is a form of punishment. There is likely an outdated precedent that if you have those freedoms taken away for considerable time, people will not look to break the law again.

The problem is that there are systems in society which people are brought into which perpetuate crime.
Yep, a gut wrencher. Read that memorium here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29642422
This is in part due to Mastodon's weird style of federation which almost comes off as a second thought compared to using it as a centralized service, since to federate with others you have to either know who to follow already or need to use a relay.

This, I feel is especially notable for Western nodes since they don't really seem to bother with relays (which I think largely defeats the point of federation by creating incentives to stick to large nodes). A lot of the relay lists are either super sanitized/focused on uninteresting topics or are dead.

In comparison, in the Japanese community there are several fairly active open relays (with some moderation to prevent abuse) and thus it's pretty easy to setup a custom node and have it populated with some basic content to build off of. As a result of which, ~75% of the traffic to my node comes from Japan, ~20% from the US and ~5% from Europe.

This sucks for parking. It is simply (physically) not possible for the existing cameras to see the area directly in front of the car.

So how would this work for parking?

A: Add more cameras so there are no dead areas in front of the car

B: build a model in vector space when driving towards a parking spot and assume blind spots don't change. (still sucks)

Britain is not suffering a water shortage, nor is it likely to in any foreseeable future. Not that I'm encouraging people to waste water, but conserving water doesn't address the unfavorable economics of energy.
ORMs have the problem that the shape of the interface they provide mostly depends on configuration or data (the SQL schema). In static languages at least, this means that code has to be generated at some point. Tooling and convenience wise, there are differences between the approaches, but conceptually, does it really make a huge difference whether this step happens in a separate tool before compilation (seen here), or inside the compiler (in a macro system like Rust’s), or at runtime (as ORMs tend to do in JITted languages like Java and C#)?

In Arizona, "cold" water at the tap can easily be in the neighborhood of 100F/37C all summer. We kept a water filter pitcher in the fridge for drinking water, so it wasn't really a problem there, but it did make it impossible to take a truly cool shower or follow a recipe that instructs you to rinse something in cold water.
I feel that was more an operational answer than an engineering one ..

Has the 5800x and opnsense been able to successfully route 25Gbit/s? It's very rare to find anyone running even a 10Gbit link on opnsense/pfsense so it's difficult to know how it performs on high speed links with modern hardware. Would love any details you could share on this! (Might be worth updating your blog post with them)
DSL, Slax, and Puppy Dog Linux were all my go-to back in the day, because I had terrible internet (Australia, yay) and hand-me-down computers! I think DSL isn't up to date anymore though. I wonder if Slax et al. still exist?

Oh neat, Slax still does! https://www.slax.org/

250mb 32-bit ISO too :) Neat! One of the first Linux adventures I had was trying to install Slax to a HDD: It really wants to be a live CD, so it was a fun challenge that taught me a lot about Linux at the time.
I had an old full height RLL hard drive if I moved the computer the drive would loose sector zero and I would have to low level format it using a command in debug.
That’s fair, but I don’t think it explains the “well defined” part of the claim.

They problem is so ill defined that it sometimes has to be modeled as random events instead of a deterministic physical process.
The Takumar 55mm SLR lens is really interesting to me because over 4+ versions of the lens it kept the same optical design but got dramatically improved coatings
every few versions.

The single-coated version actually has quite good and natural color rendition in the right light, unfortunately the internal reflections are really noticeable with strong sunlight in the frame. I still consider the version with Zeiss coatings good enough for studio work.

Another interesting thing is that the f/1.8 and f/2 versions are both the f/1.8 lens, but the f/2 version has the iris calibrated to be wide open at f/2. Some people prefer the f/2 version because it has less vintage glow wide open while keeping circular bokeh balls.
I live here too. I already said that Lula is the exception.

Yes, the more radical left does say that. At least now you're being more specific and more accurate. Your original claim was far more sweeping. And wrong.

How terrible yet predictable. Next news item!
I see surprisingly little discussion of overall statistics on safety of self drive vs humans, and what I do see is often self reported by companies or by equally potentially biased sources in the media. I’ve searched many times and a straightforward stat seems hard to find.
> Many of the world’s most evocative and best-known images were made under natural light with fast lenses and film. Creating such images is nearly impossible with “slow” zoom lenses, which are harder to focus and inadequate for use indoors without flash.

When I started doing photography 40 years ago, 400 ISO was considered crazy fast. I used Velvia 50 ASA most of the time for its amazing colors and depth.

Nowadays with a digital camera, 10 000 or even 12 000 (16 000?) ASA can produce usable pictures, if a little grainy. "AI" post-production tools can add bokeh or even refocus something after the fact.

I too love the 50mm. But times change.

Ugh, It’s not even hidden in there. Perhaps I experienced some banner blindness and skimmed straight over the pull quote (or online tweet). Though mostly I’ve had this question for a long time and didn’t expect this article to contain the answer.
I'd argue the trend is that most companies don't. They host it with a custom domain on Google Workspace or M365.
There are both good sides and bad sides to that. In the same vein one could argue that the truly Verified identity should have their own domain. Why use Musks platform when they can have Bill@microsoft.com or Elon@tesla.com?

The most annoying thing about not voting is not the cheap fine, it's the things you can't do if you don't get it sorted out (either by paying the fine or by presenting a valid reason for not voting): you can't work in the public sector, you can't get a passport, etc.

With absolutely zero respect, I think you missed the point of the episode I named, widely considered one of the best episodes ever. They literally murder someone in cold blood to start a war, to solve the problem they might not otherwise win it.
As a frontend dev I blame it entirely on the "co-design" fad and the rise of A/B testing. When I started 10 years ago the idea was that a designer can objectively produce a good UX using their skills (of course validating it with real users).

These days it seems to be treated more like social science with never ending broad discovery work to answer questions like "How do our users feel"? This stuff is important but I feel is often used to justify decisions poorly compared to a more quantitate approach.

But largely I think A/B testing is to blame, we get more conversions this way (or maybe with spotify user's listen to more tracks / have longer sessions with this particular interface). Often the metric measured is profit driven rather than user enjoyment as well.
Then make it a lottery.
They cannot actually believe that.
There are other ways of optimizing for reliability, though, like redundancy in parallel or higher spec’d sensors. But that still gets back to the same issue where they are going to be concerned about cost.
