I'm surprised this is done in JS. If you're doing any kind of calculation with floats (and use actual non-integer numbers, not just ints stored as floats) then it's generally difficult to get the same exact result every time on every system, due to rounding errors. That's why to my knowledge, any strict equality check on floats is generally frowned upon. (exceptions: you know all the floats are actually non-huge ints; You're comparing with a value the variable was explicitly set to at some time before)
I was programming at home for my job last week and heard my free reigning chickens make a lot of noise.

Went outside and saw a coyote with one of them in it's mouth.

I chased it away. I'm sick of being in front of a screen all day, but grateful I don't have to worry about being killed by wild animals on a daily basis.
A ticketing company was experimenting with BLE beacons to trigger things like seat upgrades and coupons when people walked by certain things in a venue… or at least that’s what they said it would be used for.

Instead they covered LA Live and surrounding area with them and then just sold that data to… well I’m not sure who since I left shortly after they did that.

The justification was “but we put it in the TOS and Privacy Policy”.
Yes, but there are people who claim that IPFS is uncensorable or permanent. I saw that a lot from NFT salespeople who were claiming you’d own something forever with no further payments needed, or even that a copyright claim couldn’t take it down.

The register isn't a news site but a news aggregator. They are a bit like the IT version of Zero Hedge, where they dig up interesting factoids and then add their own short editorial, often inflammatory/sarcastic/humorous. IIRC, they have only editors on staff, not reporters. The little entertaining summaries and story selection is their value add, as they don't write the stories so they aren't going to give you the details.

You can also not only cache locally but cache nix builds online with services like Cachix. Then you can build a nix env on a powerful dev machine and push to the cache so when the Nix environment is built on a low powered CI machine it can easily download the build instead of trying to build and possibly time out.

Build once on one machine and all developers can just download the build.
I won't say much more here but this second question caught my eye,
because the answer is the same as for your earlier question. Some
impactful work I am intensely proud of also became a thing that haunts
me (or at least challenged my idea of "doing good").

Think about dual-use. You may never really know quite how your
creations pan out. Not quite in the league of Mikhail Kalashnikov, but
it piqued my now intense interest in tech ethics.

repurposed for look-and-lock air combat (fire and forget a2a missile.
An important caveat is I'm not even a "pacifist" and went in eye's
wide open with a defence firm. I just wish they'd told me more up
front that this was "generic tech" I was developing.
Because companies like to engage in censorship when opinions arise that go against what's popular. That's why HN is one of the best places to discuss, free speech is allowed wholly and there is no censorship or heavy-handed moderation at all.
I would think ideological minority is a kind of thing that is worth considering accommodating too, but the problem is the relevant activists actively want to harm people with opposing ideology (the chosen method of enforcement is trying to get people fired and otherwise ruined). So they have no interest in ideological accommodation themselves.
People who read your comment should think on manliness and then see how you're portraying it and then consider what you say accordingly.
For readers, don't think this means you need to be an elisp hacker to benefit from emacs. You don't need to write tools -- there are hundreds already written, and installable as packages. I use emacs to edit code, organize projects, and read my email but I rarely touch elisp.

Because, unlike with parenting, I think the biological part is the most important part when it comes to "man"/"woman".
Snowy 2 cost $5 per watt (blown out from initial $1/watt) and already had a bunch of infrastructure. Beats lithium ion by a fair margin for diurnal or longer storage, but hardly a poster child for the process being cheap or on budget.

Still cheaper than nuclear though because 1W of storage can serve 2-3W of wind+solar.
FYI, I don't think "Silicon" is a product name; it's just the stuff computer chips are made out of. "Apple Silicon" is an unbrella term for their SoCs, but there's no context in which it makes sense to abbreviate that with just "Silicon".

Can you actually define what a woman is, without using a word woman then?

With bodies and genes and biology, we have a distinction between men and women (and some genetic outliers). This in no way affects if you like barbies or action men, what you wear, and how long your hair is. Excluding disabilities, this also defines your physical characteristics and possibilities, from being able to pee in a urinal (without special tools) to giving birth.

If we define women as "everyone who defines themselves as a woman", what exactly is a woman then?
Hong Kong used to be the equivalent of China for cheap production, hence the top gun quote of 'flying rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong' in the original 80s movie
In my view there is no such thing as “tech debt”.

The way I look at it, there will always be a delta between the code you have and the business features you want/need. Independently of whether the code was written 30 years ago or yesterday.

So the only question worth asking IMHO is how best to reduce the delta while maximising the business value/cost ratio.

If you talk about “tech debt” without talking business value/cost then you are indulging in “what would be fun to do” and not “what is the best next step for the business”.

The biggest lie by the way is “it will improve maintenance!”. Maybe for you (because you spent years rewriting it and know it inside out) but not for the unlucky next person who has to take over your code.

Another lie is using words like “Modern!” and “Brand New!” as if it is a good thing. I want the old software that has proven itself for more than 30 years. Not the “Modern! New! Shiny!” crap that has been implemented by bright eyed inexperienced beginners, is full of bugs, implemented using a “Modern!” framework that will stop being maintained in a year, and has 5% of the features of the “old” software.
This is great! After spending some time with nix and writing https://mimoo.github.io/nixbyexample/ I figured it’s too consuming and hard to manage nix yourself. These usable user-facing tools are really what nix needs to go to the next level
My problem with the "let's cause a glitch in the simulation to escape it" idea is this.

What are the odds that you'll glitch it and not just simply "crash" the universe, i.e. instantly end its existence? And actually escape, intact, to some higher plane? Let's say one in a billion.

Now let's say you're the higher entity to which universes like ours are bacteria... billions and billions of them. Boom, some of them evolve, everything changed in an instant.

But let's say you're one of the bacteria-like universes. Glitch, and you have a 99.9999999% chance that you'll wipe out the universe? Do that? Don't be ridiculous.

This game only makes sense from the perspective of the higher entity. Not from inside the simulation.

oh man, that was rough. Your story reminded a group of people who should report here — The "Green QR code" app that Chinese government deploys in the name of COVID to track and surveillance people. I even saw a tiktok (douyin) video that showcase one of the developer, praising how young they are and how handsome they are. The comment section of the video is a different scene entirely.
But the same time, if they didn't develop it, someone else will. So it is hard to put the blame on them specifically.
Bill gates is known for being a ruthless business executive. What's not manly about that?
I thought HashMap behaved in an undefined-but-safe manner if an implementation of Hash or Eq is incorrect. Are you saying there's a reasonable way to put misbehaving types in a HashMap?

(I'm pretty sure I recognize your username as someone with way more rust experience than me. For the crowd an implementation of Eq for floats that used the standard comparison operators would be "incorrect", which is why the stdlib doesn't provide one)
People already assumed things described as having gone perfectly are exaggerated and embellished.

I am a trans woman in tech. Yes, this is a thing. We joke about it all the time. (Even trans women who don’t work in tech constantly joke about the number of trans women who work in tech.) Certain fields and communities (security, Rust, other low-level stuff) have particularly strong representation.

The main reasons I’ve heard thrown around for this are: 1) Autism-spectrum traits correlate to being trans (why? nobody knows) and also correlate to high technical ability, 2) tech is generally fairly accepting of alternative lifestyles and identities, 3) if you were brought up as a boy you probably had more access to computers and were encouraged to go into that field, 4) if you were brought up as a boy but were actually trans, you probably preferred nerdy stuff to sports and computers were a good distraction from hating your body, 5) tech jobs have good healthcare.

Women and men can still be "real" in the sense of being strongly correlated trait clusters. And indeed, these are the only two clusters of significance.
In real fluids yes, absolutely, they basically transform/branch/divide/split into smaller and smaller scale vortices and then those dissipate the energy into the fluid (heating it up a bit).

We take every reported false negative as an opportunity to improve our DDoS mitigations, and these reports are very helpful.

This link gave me a fake "this phone has been hacked" alert. I recommend avoiding.
Every living thing is defined by their DNA. It produces the visible specimen with all its features and behaviors. DNA is a giant specification program, and when they're identical, they produce identical living beings. Could we group DNA according to some similarities?

We can observe DNA sometimes makes creatures that breath air, sometimes it makes creatures that breath water, others can fly, etc... surely we can group DNA into species EVEN IF some of the "edges" are fuzzy (the categories exist, but the borders blend together smoothly between categories). This classification of DNA is recursive, and can be done within a species. A great number of species consistently produces TWO main categories... the creature with eggs, and the creature with sperm. Again, this doesn't mean the borders are perfectly defined, but the main category is.

I'm illustrating this to show that in fact this duality in types of humans exists, and this duality is the main mechanism to keep the species alive. Maybe we'll soon reproduce in labs; maybe test tube babies will have DNA that is neither man or woman, and maybe we're in the process of transitioning there. Even if that's the case, it doesn't mean that up until now there was no such thing as a man or a woman, and we had it wrong all this time. I would have more respect for this gender movement if it was about transhumanism and moving beyond our evolution, but instead it's trying to shame everyone into believing contradicting ideas (i.e. by changing definition of words and undermining established science).
Indeed we’ve had all sorts of issues with nix and mac (and intel mac as well). Especially tooling like vscode, sublime merge, etc.

Oh and I managed to brick nix on my mac, for some reason I can’t even reinstall it. Need to spend more time debugging that.

Didn’t play nice with our Rust dependencies as well I found. At least it seemed unnecessarily complicated to set it up with an already existing Rust project.
> What they really get is a lot of text from the participants which is essentially free amalgamation of OSINT that they turn over to the sponsors.

So, Meta's business model?
JavaScript conceptually only has floats (ignoring big integers, which isn't what most people use for numbers), so any map of numbers to values is using a float key. You refer to that, but yeah they're all floats.

> it's generally difficult to get the same exact result every time on every system, due to rounding errors

Floating point arithmetic is 100% entirely deterministic - you don't just get different values randomly.

The original study found their technique to have a superior brier score compared to a prediction market (https://goodjudgment.io/docs/Goldstein-et-al-2015.pdf). Metaculus also employs a similar technique.

It's been a while since I've read it, but the book (Superforcasting) also had an additional section elaborating on a comparison against prediction markets.

From memory, the core thesis of the GJP is that some individuals are good at making forecasts, and this accuracy is not domain specific or require insider information. Once measured, more weight is put onto those who make better opinions. As an analogy consider asking 100 chess players for the next move in a game - those with a higher elo are more likely to find a better next move.
Conventional prediction market doesn't have this kind of "long term weighting", instead relying on individuals to bet according to their confidence (which may not always correspond to their accuracy).

Of interest is this article (https://mikesaintantoine.substack.com/p/scoring-midterm-elec...) which compared PredictIt, FiveThirtyEight and Manifold Markets (a prediction market with play money, so in theory no "proper" incentives). Even with the "proper incentives" it did no better Manifol Markets and a decent bit worse than 538.
It's like one day you decided to build a company that needs a website. The first task you come up with is accessibility and i18n. Good luck with that. My heuristics is, are we serving the main audience, are we serving them well, can we expand the audience, can we expand the audience without harming the main audience.

There is another comment mentioned about ramp. I think it is a good example where serving the extended audience (wheel chair user) is not harming the experience of main audience (non-wheel chair user). On the other hand, OP's article is about using gender neutral term on parenting/pregnancy websites where the main audience should be, well, women women and men men, that the article should lay its focus on.

A related concept is the paradox of tolerance [1]. We demand ourselves to be ever inclusive like the dodo [2]. All the dodos got eaten at last.

What is the motivation to be a censor? Is it something that content consumers would pay for? Or would you monitize it by injecting your own ads based on the users expressed filter preferences?
The key part of "fake it til you make it" is significantly less harmful if you're making some novel software product or tech hardware gadget (like all the bankrupt attempts at new handheld gaming consoles) versus a medical diagnostics apparatus.
It's fine, I'm not mad about being downvoted for making grouchy jokes. And, in more seriousness, I agree that, through the power of abstraction, value is gleanable even from Taylor-Swift-related content
Containers are way too slow, and take too much space (they don’t share dependencies). Also doesn’t necessarily play well with tools AND is hard to setup for dev environments (what do you mount?)
Sounds like a great way to finally disable Norton if it's found a way onto your system.
But with that you lose the definition of "woman". What is a woman then? Without circling back (and using the word "woman" in the definition), you cannot define what a woman is anymore.
people are pinning stuff on ipfs with filecoin

there is a free service that does this for you till like 5 gigabits, it pins with filecoin

https://web3.storage/pricing/

I have entire sites hosted for free this way, whereas other hosts like vercel and netlify will charge you for traffic. you can just put your big assets on ipfs+filecoin pins and have unlimited traffic. the ipfs CDNs help with performance.

I don't know anything about that organization and I come to HN to learn about things like this. So if you do know something about it, please share your knowledge.
Quite. Also drawing heavily on the general population's limitless capacity for misunderstanding probability.
That's because Rust is tiny and new.

Wait until you have Rust packages which include and wrap hundred of thousands of lines of very old C and Fortran code like numpy has.

Why not just multiply each key by ten to the power of your desired precision, then convert to int?

If you're rounding anyway it's basically the same amount of work.

I'm always happy with alternatives, especially FOSS ones and I like what the community has created too.

It's just that, I'd have been happier if people moved to Mastodon for its ideas on decentralization and tech instead of Elon Musk.

From the image in the linked tweet: “I had a long and informative meeting with Greg's care team this afternoon: neurologist, critical
cardiac care doctor, surgeon, and palliative care team. The neurologist showed me the MRI
images and carefully explained the range of impacts to expect from the many areas of stroke
damage in many parts of the brain. Even if he returned to consciousness, and they feel this is
highly unlikely, he would probably need 24 hour care and be limited in his cognitive and
communication abilities, as well as many other issues. This is not the life he wants to lead, and
the conversation we had and his advance directive were both very clear on this. These were a
final gift from Greg, and I am confident in making this decision now that he is unable to
express his wishes.
So we will be removing life support, tomorrow or Sunday, after the kids and I have another
chance to spend time with him, with more holding hands and expressing love. Once that is
done, they will keep him pain free and calm, and his passing will be peaceful.
I will spare you daily updates until that time, but know that I'll be there as much as I can, as he
journeys to the undiscovered country.
Thank you for all your love and support. They mean a lot, and I've shared your messages with him.” (Astrid Bear)
