"Rat killer" is a funny headline but I hope (though I'm not that confident) that this person will not focus on directly killing rats. To state the obvious, for that to work you have to kill rats as fast as they reproduce (which is fast) and the second you stop the situation goes right back to where it was. To take a cue from what seems to work with pigeons, they need to provide less rat food and/or limit reproduction. The second one is easier with pigeons (you can build roosts for them, then replace the eggs with fake ones - this is really done).
You are your own boss. You could work from home away from the office four days a week.
I have no idea what you are disagreeing with. Could you clarify what exactly you are arguing against in what I have said?
And yet people only have so much time, and so much of it continues to be dominated by work and transportation to/from work (if you’re not lucky enough to have the option of remote work). When you’ve been busy and focused for the better part of 10 hours, bettering oneself for immaterial gains is going to be unappealing when you could doom scroll TikTok, watch the latest hit TV series, or even better yourself in areas with easily-realized gains, like physical workouts or educating for a career change. That’s why people opt for moderated communities, actually learning to handle content and ignore repugnant or vile content takes diligence and building that up is time-consuming, so they’ll happily pay money (via ads or directly) to offload filtering out that content.
You can sideload your own apps through Xcode without a full developer account. They only last for 7 days however, so you'll have to keep sideloading them.
While you responded factually, it feels disingenuous to portray an Apple computer as a capable gaming device. It is not. Not for the newest, not for the best. Not for the classics, not for the indies. Streaming has failed to impress the market, and the Apple Arcade remains an unfulfilling curiosity for those who think of gamers as a bit stinky and unproductive.

echos many of the same things i loved about svelte when i got involved in 2019:
https://www.swyx.io/svelte-why

people always call out the small community to be a downside, so a few of us started Svelte Society to fix that (very humble numbers compared to react, Rethinking Reactivity is probably the best starting point for most https://youtu.be/AdNJ3fydeao). i actually think theres a “be careful what you wish for” aspect to this, svelte’s community is super enjoyable now BECAUSE it is small and many come to it as a second framework; so are less religious and more intentional about their tech choices.

notable companies now using svelte not just for internal apps but customer facing, critical stuff: huggingface (for everything, including gradio), alaska airlines (entire customer flow), razorpay (payment dialogs), schneider electric (many things), ikea (ecomm experience), riot games (league of legends client), Brave (search page), Square (developer portal), several YC startups, and basically every notable data journalism outlet on the planet (Bloomberg, the Economist, Reuters, Les Echos, german and japanese publications, pudding.cool, and of course the NYT) https://twitter.com/sveltesociety/status/1260209026563858432

sveltekit 1.0 is also frequently called out as an adoption barrier but.. well.. stay tuned (on the order of weeks not years)
For real, why bother speaking when there's all-you-can-eat cake?
Lego mind storms. The blue kit with lightning all over it. “Programming” the RCX was probably what got me hooked on computers. And oh those damn alien Lego pieces, I probably spent more time with these thing than with almost all my siblings combined for the next 3 years.
There used to be a nice delineation between regulation of commercial and non-commercial activities, with the press, often straddling the divide, enjoying specialized treatment. But political, legal, and technological developments seem to have all conspired to make hash of that old, basic dichotomy.

It's hard to call out hypocrisy without first establishing some coherent principles. I'm not sure what those might be for any of the major political or legal factions. For example, how do we categorize and differentiate health care relationships, for when the government might want to dictate which pamphlets a provider must make available in their waiting rooms or which warnings must be placed on a label. It's roughly similar to the situation with social media companies in the sense of commercial entities mediating private relations, but I suspect a substantial number would find themselves on the opposite side of any hard line drawing.
"At a high level, in probability, a convolution is the way to determine the distribution of the sum of two random variables."

Probability of a certain sum value s is:

sum of probabilities of all (a,b) with a + b = s

(a: value from first input distribution. b: value from second input distribution)

with probability (a,b) = probability(a) * probability(b)

Australia has hard rubbish collection for the big stuff - once or twice a year you dump your large items on the curb and they are removed, people salvaging from hard rubbish seems to be a popular pass time too (it’s mostly unwanted furniture / white goods in okay condition, so not as gross as it sounds)

Semmelweis is ancient history. He was active at a time when regulations and "best practices" simply weren't a thing anywhere.

Surgeons resisting checklists is new to me. Do you have a reference other than a TV show? My understanding until now was that checklists are extensively used in medicine.
The thing I love about Borges is that he is both a big-idea sci fi writer and a poet. and his poetry definitely shows through in his sci fi. For example, as in "The Zahir". The thought of a person obsessing about the beauty of the shadow of a rose really does it for me.

But I like his big idea stories too. Absolutely "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" may be his masterpiece. But it's dense for an introduction to the author. Contrast this with "The Secret Miracle" which also has a beautiful big idea, but it's so elegantly small. in a sense the whole story fits into just one second.

Finally, I went overboard and calculated the number of books on the shelves in "the library of babel". I remember distinctly that the story made our very real universe feel small for the first time in my life. and to think, I barely scratched the surface. a whole book was published about the math in that one story alone: "The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel" by William Goldbloom Bloch.
It's a fair warning, but (apart from the "over-controlling parent" track), the book is not all about those things. I find a classic like Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" more disturbing (still worth it), though it has only a single crime and is otherwise filled with nice, supporting people.
This new unit is more significant on mobile browsers and as of now only firefox support it. I've verified it myself. Ref: https://caniuse.com/?search=dvh
Greg Egan is fascinating. His storytelling and characters feel oddly flat and sterile to me, but he's the only sci-fi author in 25 years of adulthood that regularly makes me think "I'm not quite smart enough to be reading this," and that's pretty impressive.
I misunderstood. I thought we were having a discussion, but I can see you're looking to deliver a monologue. I'll leave you to it.

Ask yourself this - if we didn't need to pay to publish apps to the Store (or even less, if we could just publish apps that could be side-loaded), how many of us would voluntarily pay $99 per year for Apple's developer support? You could probably count them on one hand.

It's still a bidding system in some sense in Azure.

You set your max price, up to the on-demand price, and then you'll get your VM... or not. If you do get the VM, you still don't pay the full price in most circumstances unless demand is very high.

"Apart from our CA work, we also bought an aging email service with a few customers, and invested substantially in developing it into a flagship email security product line compatible with global email security standards including both S/MIME and GPG.

Today it stands alone as a valuable email service enjoyed by millions around the world as an alternative to other popular web based secure email providers."

Yeah that's fair enough. I don't think the people cheating ever got far enough to actually effect job stats. It was pretty easy to sus out who actually knew enough to keep going. I don't fault Lambda for that, it's just the reality of any educational goal line.

For the interview thing, that's just what you were doing at the time. At the rate you were iterating, I'm sure that there's a better process now.

No thanks, I'd rather not use money coerced from innocent citizens for making a web search engine. Let's use that money for the smallest possible set of limited services.
Oh my bad! That must be why C++, a definitely not super unsafe language that is basically totally different from C, lets you do this:

char buf[10];
std::cin >> buf;
std::cout << buf << std::endl;

g++ -Wall -std=c++2a (sorry, I’ve only got GCC 9), no warnings or errors, happily overruns the stack when fed more than 10 characters. This code is essentially equivalent to the C gets(buf) (splitting on whitespace instead of newline), but gets is deprecated and generates big warnings on most modern C compilers. Yet, operator>>(char *) does not.

Sure, you can write secure code in C++. You can write secure code in C too, even if that language is “super unsafe”. But neither language will stop you from writing insecure code either.
I used to get canker sores every once in a while.

I cut out SLS by purchasing Toms toothpaste, and that helped a lot.

I would still get them though, maybe twice a year.

The thing that finally fixed it was almonds. I stopped eating almonds and I’ve never had a canker sore since.
If it's controversial why should it be relegated to back pages?

The front page is the perfect place for such communication, the lack of truly social discourse and individualistic isolation is what creates such reactionary tension while trying to reconcile all the distortions in the zeitgeist of the world.

I think mental stressors of such social failure is whats leading to such childish ideas that adults seem to preoccupy their lives with today, and environmental pollution is definitely contributing to bringing those about.

Many nights outside of work, I still read and build ideas that get me excited about tech. As time grows, it would be nice to make some money on the side with the skills I have. How can I work toward this goal?

I'm a senior engineer at a large bay area tech company working in backend/distributed systems. I have experience with UI/UX as well (which I really love to do for fun!).

I started a Youtube channel and get a few hundred bucks a month from that, but am interested in building some stuff outside of videos/teaching.
Is that really the sort of thing we need on HN?

Because writing code declaratively it's much more readable than imperatively.

<h1>{name}</h1>

clearly state that you want name inside h1, it's colocated and faster to write than

const h1=document.querySelector("h1");
h1.innerText=name;

As for why we need $ or reactive is because JavaScript does not comes with a way to express reactivity. In the case of svelte this means having to come up with a syntax for the compiled language, for Vue means that you need to wrap your normal object in a proxy to let Vue know when you are accessing or setting a variable.
You know, when it comes to things like this, it's always "faster than we thought." Yet the people who speak up about it are labeled as "alarmists."

I suspect it has more to do with a sense of ownership and community than any fines. US Americans tend to live in their homes, while in many other places people live in their city.

If it's controversial why should it be relegated to back pages?

I didn't suggest it should be.

I will note that so far I have two replies, both nominally "arguing against" my supposed "position" here. Both strike me as a wild misinterpretation of what I have said.

And that's exactly why tossing out questions or comments on a front page post on a large forum can be problematic.

Which isn't to say one should never do such. But it's frequently not exactly gratifying.
I have never owned a Mac but i can guarantee you that on the windows side people where not loving flash either.

I rather would blame the fact that it allways ran in a plugin and needed to be constantly updaeted where browsers did not easily provide such a mechanism.

I did a couple of more tests, one in English and one in Japanese, asking for advice about foreign travel from the point of view of a college-age person. The responses were very good in both cases, but the Japanese was more repetitive and a bit less coherent. The advice itself in both languages struck me as uniformly useful.

The conversation in Japanese ended after ChatGPT responded “Too many requests, please slow down.”

I posted the conversations here:

I see the point about abusing JS labels in Svelte being magic, but there's nothing magic or non-standard about Vue's ref(). It's just a reactive container, just plain JS.

All (widely used) modern frameworks have a degree of magic in them. Do you prefer not using any of them?

I think your phone might be defective. The only time I've experienced random restarts was when my battery on an old 6S was dying. Battery got replaced and all was fine.

Not sure what's going on with the music. I sometimes have it play random Apple Music when first connecting to CarPlay. Outside of that itt fairly reliably removes music when paused from the lock screen after a few minutes which honestly can be annoying, but keeping it on there forever isn't great either.
"Unscented" is basically a lie. Most things that are "unscented" actually have masking agents to cover the scent of the product. You want to look for things that have "no added scent" on the label.

How can volunteer-driven projects become successful?

First of all, define what 'success' means. Does it 'look good' rather than 'work well'? Or does it 'work well' even if it doesn't 'look good'?

Who decides when it 'looks good' enough? Who decides when it 'works well' enough?

I have never struck the piece of software that is 'perfect'. Even when the developers, designers and promoters are members of billion-dollar companies.
