As someone writing all my code in Pascal, I feel offended

Pascal had exceptions for error handling and got generics before Go
They are spicey everywhere though, even in cardiac protected areas that are checked regularly by electricians. New builds, rebuilds etc.

This isn’t a building wiring issue.
I know nothing about how this all works, how do people know who did it / where it came from? I presume its possible to get a rough location but in a built up area I'd imagine its pretty much impossible to find the person that did it unless it's left running right?
A mugger deciding to take my watch instead of my wallet is not a handout even if it leaves me better off than the other situation.
Uniswap is open source, and if you use it as an exchange, it doesn't even hold your funds. I'd argue that since your funds are not there, then your funds are safer than with a custodian and insurance. Lehman was also insured, wasn't it?
Quite a few scraping (such as Scrapy) or browser automated testing frameworks (like Playwright) have standardised on ::text. I would take a look around and if other tools are using the same none standard selectors for these features, it would be perfect for Xq. It's not like you are complying with standards for browser compatibility.

They tried...

And doing that leaves a blade dangling above your head even if your behavior is perfect on the new account.

Why can't there be anything you can do to wipe the slate mostly clean? Maybe even donating $100 to charity and giving github a few dollars for wasting their time.
This argument always intrigued me. Once you point out cryptocurrencies don’t actually solve the unbanked problem for poor people, then the use case immediately shifts to “well have you tried to move seven figures between countries”?

By the way many African countries have a robust mobile phone based banking infrastructure. Nothing to do with cryptocurrency. See https://qz.com/africa/2161960/gsma-70-percent-of-the-worlds-... for example.
No, they do both internal hiring and outsourcing.
But a vast majority of research is publicly funded (by tax payers). So if it's paid for by said individuals should they have to pay again to see the results?
Not much of that seems to find its way to officer paychecks.

Police should be held to much higher standards than the rest of us, and the ones who can meet those standards should have pay, training, vacation, and benefits to match. Police work should be made attractive to the best and the brightest among us.
They don't cure the illness, they only help to treat it. Generally herbal medications are milder and need to be taken for a longer time. I find they can be fairly effective. Sometimes, though, what people say should work doesn't work and you need to go find something stronger at the pharmacy.
Reading an article about the evolution of CSS and ending up at…Tailwind…really feels like a bait and switch. I don't consider Tailwind at all a "solution" for writing scaleable CSS. It's a non-standard DSL for providing styling commands to a build tool, and the HTML/CSS output overloads class attributes everywhere in an absurd way. The "just use @apply" retort is also a non-starter if you want to write stylesheets that aren't vendor-locked to Tailwind's build tooling.

I'm actually working on a large design system that's in the process of stripping Tailwind _out_, because it's in fact not scaleable if you want to provide vanilla component styling APIs via custom properties. And as some others here have mentioned, we're not even talking yet about web components, shadow DOM, shadow parts, etc.

Scaleable CSS should adhere to the actual spec of CSS and how its evolving in browsers. Tailwind is a massive, non-standard deviation from the development of CSS.

I said in another comment, most of the comments were on the Python extension repo for vscode, about the quality of the extension and feature choices, many people were criticizing as well, and the trend of moving towards closed source.
IP and ASN reputation really matters, as does having SPF, DMARC, DKIM and Email Feedback Loop (FBL) properly configured.

That being said, there are production mail servers on OVH (bad reputation mail wise) that deliver plenty of mail to Microsoft, Google and Apple mail servers every day.

I've been kinda doing a similar thing with my Gentoo installation on btrfs.

The btrfs subvolumes are structured like this:

<root subvolume>/$(hostname)/${environment}/@volume (e.g. @root, @home)

snapshots look like this:

<root subvolume>/$(hostname)/${environment}/volume_$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-00)

I have a few scripts "make-snapshots", "backup-snapshots", "update-shell", and "update-commit". make-snapshots creates readonly snapshots of my system, backup-snapshots does incremental backups of those to my NAS, update-shell creates a writable snapshot of @root as @root-update and drops you into a chroot environment. You can then run all the portage commands you want without fear of borking your current environment. Upon exit it checks whatever the /usr/src/linux symlink points to, copies the associated vmlinuz and initramfs images to the EFI partition, and creates/updates a boot entry in rEFInd. You can then boot either into your previous version or the update version. Once you're satisfied that your new environment works, you run "update-commit" which deletes the @root subvolume and replaces it with your current @root-update subvolume.

A change I've been considering is to drop the concept of having a @root subvolume at all. Current implementation requires two reboots: one to get from @root to @root-update, where (if it's good) you delete @root and make a writable snapshot of @root-update as @root. The second reboot is to get onto (the new) @root. An alternative might be to include the date/version in the name of the writable snapshots as well. "committing" the update would just mean setting the current booted subvolume as the "head". Future snapshots/updates will be made from that subvolume. No need for a reboot because you're currently on it with everything mounted correctly. Any writable subvolumes older than "head" would be cleaned up upon booting "head".

Could even go a step further and add something to my initramfs where if you try to boot a version where the writable subvolume has been deleted, it would make a temporary writable subvolume for it from the snapshot.
I would like to disagree with that; GCP seems to do a much better job at permission granularity, but does a "punch me in the face" level worse job at IAM role binding to principals

With AWS, if I have "role-A", used by "user1", and I now wish to bind it to "user2", do you know how many times I have to make reference to "user1"? ZERO

With GCP, binding is authoritative, so if I don't copy-paste the "members" from the previous incantation of that roleBinding over, buh-bye to "user1". Stark-raving insanity
I remember many years ago I had a computer where, sometimes, programs crashed when trying to launch them. They segfaulted for no apparent reason. If I rebooted the computer, they may work. It usually happened with big programs like Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. I once noticed that I didn't had to reboot the computer to make them work: just emptying the caches (/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches). In fact, the md5sum of the binaries giving troubles, before and after emptying the caches, were different: one random byte had a different value. I never knew what caused the problems, I always thought it was either an unsupported device or a faulty component, however things like memtest never reported any issue.

When I got a new computer and was about to dispose that one (finally!) somebody told me it could be related to electricity problems. I then had that computer plugged to a different outlet during its last week and, apparently, I got no issues; however, issues didn't always happen, so I never knew if that was the cause or not.
Is there a Lisp that supports references and pointers, perhaps pointer aritmethics too?
Just one glance at the founder's pics online, makes all my gut alarms go off like crazy. Sometimes, I wonder how people got easily scammed like this by these people but I just chalk to them not being hyper aware of these subconscious clues or worse not acting on their gut reaction when it fires incessantly.
> If you accept patches for the sake of adding stuff with no good reason...

Linux kernel is used on billions of devices by millions of people. If you don't see a good reason for some feature in Linux, it doesn't mean there is no such reason.

I'd even argue it is impossible to have something small, simple and practical, but simultaneously supporting such a vast sea of hardware and software combinations.
Definitely seconding pup, love it and it's easy to use with css selectors. Often use it to parse HTML tables of data on random websites into usable CSVs / etc.

xq looks interesting for pure XML, will add it to my notes.

Regarding xmlstarlet, I don't use it much but here's some stuff from my notes:

XML filter on xpath: xmlstarlet sel -t -c configuration/appender logback.xml; echo

XML editing: xmlstarlet ed -d configuration/root -d configuration/logger -s configuration -t elem -n woof -v 'Woof!' logback.xml

The last one deletes elements given by xpath "configuration/root" and "configuration/logger", then adds a new element with the contents <woof>Woof!</woof> under the xpath "configuration".
I would expect MSFT to process official legal requests they receive for themselves and their subsidiaries.

EDIT: After more digging, I found the contact, the terms of services here https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t... are linking to this legal section here https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/other-site-policies/g... that contains address and email for legal requests. This is incorrectly put in a page "Guidelines for Legal Requests of User Data" but it's not about data request, it's for all legal requests.
I guess when I was born, background CO2 was around 330 ppm. Is there anything I can do to breathe air like that again in my house?
A 20cm antenna driven by a raspberry pi's current limited GPIOs won't be powerful enough to get picked up by anything more than a few dozen meters away, especially not powerful enough to get in the way of actual signals being transmitted by a more powerful transmitter
Whenever I start thinking like this about my home state (yep, Texas), I remember all the people who can't leave, mostly due to finances, some due to family, and some like a close friend with severe muscular dystrophy for whom a trip more than 20 minutes or so would require an ambulance. I don't think she's ever left the state, and I know she hasn't left the county in the past decade. Dumb luck happened to have her house on one of the few circuits in town that didn't lose power for days during the 2021 winter storm. We did a fund raiser to add a generator and other renovations (no-so-fun fact: Texas Medicaid recipients can't have more than $2000 in liquid assets)

This friend campaigned as hard as she could for O'Rourke, because she has a much more optimistic view of human nature and our fellow Texans than I do, and really wanted Texas to take the mostly-federally-funded Medicaid expansion. Always remember: over 40% of Texas voters consistently do want better for themselves and their state, and it's similar across the country.

> If terrorists are building a nuke you can drop it on them and make it look like they blew themselves up.

Not even going to get into what a ridiculous fantasy scenario that is. And anyway, has the US demonstrated any reluctance in dropping conventional warheads on terrorists?

> Last ditch asteroid defense.

This comes across as an idea one would develop from watching tv shows and movies, as it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Have a meter going and look at it. I’d describe it as a feeling in my lungs as i breathe I can start to feel above 800ppm. The air feels heavy maybe?

I think some people are more sensitive to it than others.
An N95 does both, to a highly effective degree.
Problem with these systems is that you can’t study their equilibrium with simulations. That’s cause their equilibrium time scale gets longer and longer as you lower temp and it becomes too expensive to simulate long enough to get there. So it’s all theory and there are no models yet that can be fully characterized analytically.
I said nothing about company policies. The issue of social media entitlement are orthogonal, and could easily rear their head if the dev you bad-mouthed in a comments ends up being your manager. Perhaps I'm just an old geezer, but I'm very careful to keep my business clean for anything that may touch me financially.

Maybe they are. Did they? Did Congress pass something saying that the President can forgive student loans at his discretion? More to the point, did Congress say that the President can spend the money to do so?
It's 420 ppm outside now.
> I miss Turbo C

I started college in 1988 and they were offering copies of Turbo C with all the books for $5, but you had to supply the 5 1/4" disks.

I only lasted 1 1/2 years in college (that time around) so I didn't get to experience Unix or lisp or anything like that. Well I did take an IBM 370 assembly language class. Had to do the assignments on dumb terminals in the basement of the dorms and pick up the print outs in the basement of the CS building.
And here are some counter points:

Oldest known vegan - Dr Wareham (heart surgeon) - 104 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellsworth_Wareham

Athletes thriving on a plant-based diet: https://gamechangersmovie.com/

100s of physicians recommending a plant based diet: https://www.pcrm.org/

Vegan doesn't mean automatically being healthy. Vegan is mainly about being cruelty free as much as possible, as killing and exploiting animals is cruel.

By adopting a plant based whole food diet you can be healthy and at the same time reduce your carbon footprint and damage to our biosphere.

Just don't eat Pringles and drink Coke all day (technically being vegan).
It's an incredibly flexible toolkit. Not calling it bad!

It just isn't cut along the seams we'd cut it along if we were building it fresh.

There's tons of evidence in the record-of-innovation that people are iterating around these problems--so I suspect there are plenty of people who have indeed internalized this to some degree. But I also see a lot of continual coverage that indicates this realization hasn't diffused.

(I don't want to pretend to have invented the wheel, but for example I see the fights around semantic VS functional tailwind-style css as hinging on this. Functional css makes sense for layouts as it collapses pointless separation; semantic classes make sense for documents which are more likely to evolve or get restyled without new markup.)

Well, it's not like they have a great track record with risk management.
I'm not enough to profesionally use Turbo Pascal. By digging old codes on old computer magazines, my impression was typically Pascal projects are "fat projects", where the dependencies/libraries are stored inside the project, so you simply run the Turbo Pascal IDE and built it. Done.

Very different case today. We need to use various database/cryptography/imaging/network/etc libraries fetched from github or some other servers, and so far the most reliable way to make the building process works regardless of your OS is to use a build system.
We all asked the same quesrions after Theranos. Silicon Valley VC is a relationship business run by idiots who just follow the leader. They admitted they didn't do much diligence into Theranos, and they obviously didn't do it here either.

Background ppm is no longer at 330, so opening a window would not get you there. You would need to keep the window closed and remove more CO2 than you produce.
If you really feel like GitHub bans are a "blade dangling over your head", use GitLab, or Source Hut.

GitHub is not going to develop a charity-linked rehabilitation program for people who shit on their carpet. They're just going to ban you. They're a business, not a public utility.

There's some unpleasant subtext to being blocked from GitHub that has nothing to do with someone's ability to write code: it's that your employer is certainly going to ask "uh, why are you not able to make a GitHub account?", and when you tell them "because I shat on GitHub's carpet", they may very well fire you. But that's on you, not GitHub.

> Between encrypted SNI (Or domain name fronting), encrypted DNS and of course HTTPS. The biggest legitimate use case of Tor would vanish.

Your comment was on point up until this. Just because the Tor use you seemingly most identify with is access from oppressive regimes to the western web, doesn't mean that the rest should be shunned. If you want to make political points about specific other uses of Tor, do it explicitly rather than maligning the whole project.
It's not about sticking with gerbil-wheel exercises, it's about developing the habit of scheduling exercise into one's day. Once one establishes the habit of scheduling exercise it makes sense this lowers the barrier to enriching exercise.

Although for me it's been the other way around: find an enriching exercise first and then schedule around performing it. For me, my only limit to participating in my exercise of choice is body recovery. If I had no recovery time I'd be in the gym for hours daily. As it is now I'm limited to 1.5-2.5 hrs every other day.
I don't really know where it came from - but there was this idea that if you are smart you neglect sports - if you are sporty you neglect smarts.

There was jocks vs nerds as a general dichotomy.

Last years we find it more and more to be a false dichotomy.

Just think that you can find "brasilian ju jitsu nerds" or software developers that work out quite a lot.

Not to mention pro-gamers who are not only practicing playing their game - but get physical workout in their training regimen to really go to the top.

Being physically fit IS caring about mental health there is nothing newage-y about it.

There is no mind-body separation, mind is body whether someone likes it or not. If you exercise your muscles to move in a specific way you exercise your mind as well. That is known phenomenon in strength sports - one can build up muscle mass as much as they want but they also have to adapt neural pathways for strength - which is mind.
You can use radio triangulation to determine where the signal source is while it is transmitting
Well, I disagree. I've seen CF get into bad states that can't be recovered without support going in. It shouldn't be controversial to say that it's much slower than alternatives as well.
Ah. A project that actually changed the world for the better. Breath of fresh air after all the coverage on FTX.
Exactly. I've never written strict BEM, mainly just take a few cues from it now and then. When writing components and especially now that we have awesome low-specificity selectors like :where or cascade layers (and soon :has !!), it's really better to just target the DOM structure with semantic/custom element names, parent-child relationships, states like aria, etc. and not saddle every single element with some kind of naming convention. (I honestly don't use `class` much at all anymore.)

In areas so remote that modern medical treatments aren't available at all, people do often still grow their own medical plants.

If lack of finances is an issue, growing your own herb garden certainly isn't the solution. These plants aren't going to replace a $500 shot of insulin. At best you could maybe replace the occasional aspirin, dramamine, or buscopan, all of which are available over the counter at price points much lower than what it would cost to even buy a bag of quality seeds, never mind soil, fertilizer, and the garden to plant it all in. (Or the time and labor to plant and tend it).
Why would anyone do this when solar farms produce electricity at too cheap to meter rates?
Yeah, we see this time and time again. All those Theranos investors didn't do any diligence because they saw other rich and powerful people throw money at them.

A friend who tried to raise funds from VCs for his start up tech company in SV, tried for multiple years. He was happy to disclose his financials because he had actual customers and revenue. But nobody cared for multiple years. Then one day, well known VC in those circles finally wrote them a check. The moment that happened, all the VCs were throwing money at him. They didn't care about the financials or doing their due diligence, they just did it because some other reputable guy did it. FOMO.
Look closely at the part where senior housing is what is required (with care available); for a lot of these folks, vanilla housing isn’t enough. That is the policy failure.

Has anyone done the math as to how many beds the US is short for seniors who have nowhere to go but also require senior care?
Followers only posts and requiring followers to be approved by the account they are following is common on the Fediverse.

This is what vulnerable folks I follow do to protect themselves, along with their instance admins often blackholing (IP tables dropping & blocking in their instance config) shit holes like https://freespeechextremist.com

Ask HN: How would one go about building an API for fine tuning?
Let's say I wanted to build an API to let users upload images and the api would fine tune stable diffusion for them returning either a checkpoint or another api that let's them run inference on the fine-tuned model. Does anyone have any architecture considerations/issues they'd suggest?

Two things I'm considering:

- Would the problem with this approach of ad-hoc GPUs likely be cold boot? It would take a shit ton of time to load. Though with data center networks speeds that wouldn't be too much of an issue - considering the fine-tuning itself would likely dwarf boot times.

- Is it possible to launch remote GPU instances ad-hoc from code? Is there a service that provides this service? Every time a call is made we'd spin up a GPU

Maybe the best approach for a V1 is to use the AWS SDK or something similar to just launch instances as calls come in.

Appreciate the help!
