Back in the golden age of phpBBs, I would give posters 1 notice when veering OT or getting nasty, then transfer the (sub-)thread to our 'FlameWar' room. There, they could, and would, be as nasty as they liked to each other. I failed to stem the flow of toxicity, but merely re-directed it. It worked out pretty well, and ironically, the more toxic categories were the most popular viewed threads for trolls and lurkers, alike. Go figure.

Full disclosure: I'm just a hobbyist game dev with experience with arduino, and volunteering at my local robotics competition.

I would recommend getting into arduino. It's fun to buy little components, build little circuits, and see how your ability to program can have a physical manifestation.

As for programming concepts -- yes kinematics and inverse kinematics will allow you to move robotic limbs to certain points in real space.

And you'll find yourself wanting a larger conceptual framework to put those technical bits. That's where things like finite state machines, hierarchical finite state machines, behavior trees, and/or goal oriented action planners may come in handy. This grouping of concepts is often called "ai programming" but whatever you decide to call it, they're algorithms to decide what to do at any given slice of time.

Obviously follow your own path in this subject; follow the bits that resonate with you.

Regardless, it misses the distinction between biological sex v. a mind's gender identity, and solely by the sheer quantity of neurons and possible interconnects, it's impossible to say that every person's brain strictly aligns with one of two modes of operation. (if anyone who specializes in gender studies knows more on this topic and believes I'm summarizing this—or even stating the problem—incorrectly, please step in; this isn't my specialty)

In fact, it's only appropriate to say that every brain is unique in how it processes the self and the world, and that while for the majority of people it's easy or even innate to identify with certain characteristics, there are minorities for whom this isn't the case.

We need to express inclusive empathy where we can, even if the only reason for doing so is to make sure that when we fall outside societally defined structures, we ourselves can also continue to be respected. Ideally we'd do so because we're trying to be good people, but my point is, even a selfish person should reach the same conclusion.

A really hard aspect to this is that there's a massive impedance mismatch between the research & production side of things. Working in the research side is pretty straightforward - although software development practices are going to be a lot looser & faster. Working in a production environment is straightforward, it's like any other software job. But - working at the confluence of those two states is incredibly difficult.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I think that depends on your view of sex and what's more important about it. If you view reproduction as the most important (or foundational I suppose, I'm not a philosopher I don't know what this stuff means) aspect of what sex is, there would be two sexes, male and female. If you want an exact representation of all theoretically possible combinations of phenotype and genotype, including everything from surgery to accidents/birth defects and environmental conditions to intentional genetic modification, you are going to have to create a pretty sophisticated "sex" theory (in the scientific sense), but that's not what most people mean.

> As for SBF, I suspect that being wealthy and well-connected was far more helpful than being white.

Nobody would argue with this. What they would say is one of the contributing reasons he was wealthy and well-connected is because he was accepted as a member of the racial majority. Which is certainly partly true. Just because there are no laws that are directly de jure racist, doesn't mean there isn't systemic racism (which is partly cultural, not only legal) that reduces the statistical probability of success of people who aren't in the majority group.

> as we see in this article, being white is cause for opposition.

This is a stretch. My understanding of the article is that it's a cause for explanation. What we go and do with that explanation is up for discussion.
Yes absolutely (depending on what you do exactly).

The core idea behind Bazel is to make build steps truly hermetic, so you know exactly what inputs they are using. This means you can rely on caching, incremental builds, distributed builds and so on.

I'm sure if you've had any experience of Make or similar systems you've encountered "a clean build fixed it". That root cause of that is because somewhere there's a mistake in your build system where you forgot to declare a dependency on something, and it just happens to work most of the time, but maybe one time the dependency changed and Make didn't know it had to rebuild some stuff so the build breaks.

That's basically why almost everyone's CI system builds everything from scratch every time. Nobody trusts incremental builds.

Bazel goes to great lengths to make it so that you have to declare dependencies, otherwise you simply can't access them. That includes:

* Cleaning environment variables for build steps

* Running build steps in sandboxes

* Storing intermediate artefacts in random directories

* Including tools themselves (e.g. compilers) as part of the dependency tree

Honestly it's not a perfectly hermetic environment, e.g. your build steps can still read the current time, RNGs, etc. so you can still have indeterminacy in your build, but it goes a lot further than anything else.

So ultimately the upside is that you can do things like have CI only build and test things that possibly could have been affected by a change. Fix a typo in a README? It won't have to build or test anything.

My current company spend 300 compute hours and 2-6 wall hours on every CI run, even for fixing doc typos. Bazel can prevent that.

There are downsides though - Bazel was the first system to do this so it has rough edges. And all that sandboxing means there is extra effort to make debugging and IDE integration work. Also because it is super conservative about rebuilding things it can do it sometimes even when it doesn't need to. So I probably wouldn't use it on really small projects, like ones where CI time is under 10-20 minutes anyway.

There are a load of newer build systems that use the same idea: Pants, Buck, Pants 2, Please.build, etc. But obviously they don't have the momentum of Bazel.

Oh, dude! Genius. I needed something exactly like this.
Is there a similar lightweight approach in node land?

Edit: my usecase is a form builder where users can specify fields that have their values computed from other fields. I've had to hobble it by using templating languages for the custom code, or just let them use javascript and be okay with the risk since the users get their own subdomain, so it's kinda like their own website.
I would be interested to hear which web apps with 100,000,000+ users would run fine for weeks/months without hiccups if 80% of the people running it left overnight.
How does referring to someone as "pregnant person" instead of "pregnant woman" "screw them over"?
Is that Pants 1 or Pants 2? I'm curious about your opinion of the others too.
No doubt some would be grossed out by the idea. Others might be fine with it. Assuming they haven't had bottom surgery, stopping hrt might be all that's needed.
If you drill into users' specific complaints, it seems like the update is so unpopular because it was designed to increase monetization above all else.

Yes, the UI changes are questionable and many long-time users find them offensive. But that is beside the point. The new UI is here to stay, because it is designed to add more frequent paywalls, more friction for non-paying users, and more of a competitive edge for paying users in the gamified social aspects.

Personally, I cancelled my subscription and dropped the app, because nickel & diming longtime users is a big red flag indicating that a company is starting to circle the drain. C'est la vie.
Why bother with quantum physics if classical physics works for most things we need?
They weren't able to talk to my origin IP, because when I was using Cloudflare, I blocked at the firewall all IPs that weren't Cloudflare. The problem is that they would DDOS my server through Cloudflare. And because the traffic was being proxied, I couldn't block the attackers without blocking Cloudflare. Unless of course I wanted to fill out a form on their website 9,000 times. It's an awesome website by the way. I love their workers and r2 products. But Cloudflare honestly isn't that good at DDOS protection. These attacks were so bad that Cloudflare would start showing NGINX error pages before my web app even went down. Cloudflare should be paying me to protect them, rather than the other way around.

The system was not doing what the team said it did. Journalists documented this and demonstrated it, which caused Meta to shut it down, but journalists didn’t break it.

Looks like I was mistaken. It uses some parts of postgres 8, but it is heavily modified. I agree Redshift isn’t that great though and it is super expensive for what you get. In the past when I have used Redshift I have not been that impressed.

Although one nice feature of Redshift is how well it works with other AWS services (COPY command from S3, firehouse can dump data into it, etc.)

Just the other day, some exec, who worked with Musk at Tesla, wrote that him acquiring Twitter was the part of a master plan to fix the climate: https://archive.is/uSz6I

Agreed. The whole article could have been condensed to a paragraph.
Show HN: New Hacker News Reader Android App on Huawei App Gallery
My original point was directed on Elon's Musk belief he can solve hate issues on Twitter by limiting the reach of negative or hateful tweets. It is an approach that works for Google, as they can filter such results. As you point as well, Twitter is about networks and if you are interested in a controversial person, you will follow them. That is good from an individual perspective, as you should have this freedom, however, it can be negative for the society as a whole. A good example is fake news.
> How many people that are born female but have both physiological and social need to be male desire to reproduce in a typically female manner?

I understand the prompt, but I'll challenge it with the following:

Until functioning testes can be synthesized (complete with a chromosome swap, one X for one Y), what means of biological reproduction would they have? We'll defer the distinction between performing this operation rather than keeping the existing set for another day, but for now this question is hypothetical only, so dwelling on it yields nothing.

With that in mind, I'd say the question is better posed as: "How many people that are born female but have both physiological and social need to be male desire to reproduce[...]?"

and I'd guess the answer to this would be "a lot."
That's a remote acquaintance, not a friend.
From which country are you from?
Can you give any major outlet article from your country discussing the topic? I can only name BBC (=England) for that topic.
Usually I read FAZ in Germany (reputable source, conservative - liberal) and they havent mention it.
The only male equally topic in Germany currently discussed is fatherhood (which is actually quiet important topic to discuss).
Rising oil prices did benefit Russia immensely, though. IIRC their budget revenue even increased during the first half of 22. They shouldn't be doing that well now anymore (with falling prices and increasing restrictions). Of course it depends if EU will resume buying Russian gas at a large scale when/if current storage runs out.
Ask HN: What is the thing you've built that you regret the most?
Given the very interesting comments on the "Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've built?", I was wondering about something similar: Things you regret based on ethical implications, bad technical decisions you made convinced you were right but regret/cringe about later, failures on miscalculations on budgets that provoked a bad outcome in the company etc whatever.

Thanks in advance.
> Why split society [...] factions

Biology did that. Society is recognizing it, and only recently at that, by giving women sex-based rights.

> by declaring that society should be organized around the majority, rather than attempting to accommodate as many people as possible?

The needs of X vs the needs of Y.

Females need single-sex spaces to avoid violence and rape. Males do not need to be in female single-sex spaces. Needs trump wants.

> zero-sum war of

Many things are zero sum. A single-sex space is only useful if it remains single-sex. A single male rapist can traumatize and attack an entire rape shelter of female victims.

Women's rights don't matter if "woman" means whatever anyone else wants.
What happens after this?

We know exactly what happens because it's been attempted. It fills up with spam and screaming bigots and nobody uses it beside spammers and screaming bigots. Which is why the the only 'inevitable' thing about such a government-run forum is that it won't happen.

I'm not going to recap the arguments here, but I suspect twitter is likely to crash hard within the next few days to week or two (at most) and Musk has fired most of the people who can fix it and keep it running.

We can revisit this prediction in a few weeks to get a sense of how sound this author’s worldview is.
The definition of woman is the "adult female human", and a someone who gives birth is by definition female. That's the female sex of mammals and other animals, including human. The other sex is male (who provides the sperm for procreating offspring). No third or fourth sex exists. BUT there are people who cannot be clearly assigned to either, but that doesn't change the definition. And unfortunately it doesn't go by personal choice. Life sucks, we must accept our biology.
In my opinion, he should be in there not a minute longer than it takes to rehabilitate him.

But we penalize, not rehabilitate, and some people are beyond rehabilitation.
> I stumbled upon some code that actually checks if the current date is before 2038. If it’s not it refuses to run. I have no idea why they put this kind of check in the game's code,

That's actually very clever. Instead of crashing in unexpected ways or doing odd things, just cleanly exit. If you really want it to run after 2038, you have to emulate the clock, which would then avoid these potential Y2038 bugs.
While you're right that there's no connection between being trans and being intersex (except that intersex people are probably more likely to be misgendered at birth), it's not the case that intersex people are 'extremely rare'. Depending on definition, we are talking about ~1% of people. For comparison, that is e.g. around the percentage of men who are 6'4 or taller (in the US).
First and last color (purples) are extremely similar on my monitor.
My intention was for the woman to shoot the man, it's possible I wrote it wrong. They could be both men or aliens or even computers/robots with human like intelligence. If they were both thinking computers the "pistol" could really be a human paid in Monero to go smash the other computers hard drives and backups.
The idea here is that the (NATO) drone on the second pipeline had the wires cut and so failed to detonate, and Sweden recovered it and defused it. Therefore Sweden has the physical evidence and immediately shut down the investigation. The same thing happened in 2015, a NATO explosive drone was found under NS1, Sweden recovered and defused it. Both Sweden and Germany have said they know who the culprit is, but they can't reveal the name for reasons of "national security". Germany said that even speculating about who might have done it in public is a threat to national security, so that public debates about this are also banned there.

That - plus basic cui bono logic - rules Russia out, and it certainly points to another NATO member. Primarily UK with assistance from Poland and coordination and tech gear provided by the US. But it's easy to sheep dip a soldier, you swear them in and they officially become members of the Polish army, they maneover the drone, and then they revert to being British. Then the UK can legally say none of their soldiers did anything, and Poland can say they don't have the technical means, etc. In this way, you can deny everything to the press while not technically lying, even though everyone knows who is responsible.

In a German poll, 95% of the public believed the US was responsible. It's shocking how uninformed Americans are about the actions of their own government, and how differently the US is perceived by the rest of the world vis-a-vis its own people. A similar principle applies to perceptions of NATO (which has only ever fought offensive wars) by people within NATO countries vis-a-vis those without.

In this battle of perceptions, there is a split between the 1 billion in the West and the 7 billion in the rest of the world, with the latter having positive views of Russia and negative views of NATO, while the former have it reversed. This is studied in a Cambridge report entitled "A World Divided" [pdf warning]: https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/20...

Page 12 and 13 have some striking graphs on how these two groups, which used to have approximately the same opinions about Russia and the US, are now moving very far apart, basically living in opposite realities. This is why people can say with a straight face that Russia chose to blow up its own pipeline, whereas the US, which threatened to stop the pipeline and has blown up pipelines twice in the past, and was caught planting explosives under the very same pipeline in 2015, is "ruled out" by some in the West. To anyone outside the West, it's absolutely clear who is responsible. And also to 95% of Germans.

That's a dishonest characterization. I haven't been digging into it at all. I've just been using the site as normal and haven't seen any issues, which is why I'm asking more motivated people (such as yourself) who have been digging, for specifics.
