I know what you mean by this joke. But good. Their hostile position of "we will retailate anyone against us" should not be taken lightly. The more people they ban under this the more they're going to lose business and fail.
I've also been studying with a jazz bass player (I'm on piano) and from the beginning he always emphasized just getting back into the tune. He never interrupts me.

The other big one is singing the lyrics to every song I'm learning, which I really didn't like at first. He told me the story of Ahmad Jamal recalling a time playing with the sax player Ben Webster when Ben just stopped playing a tune: "Why'd you stop Ben?" "I forgot the lyrics!".
> Using some older/unfashionable languages or maintenance-only frameworks indicates a lack of investment or interest in technology. It probably also indicates a lot as far as what your colleagues would be like and how much you'd learn from them.

Similarly, using a bleeding edge stack indicates the engineers are getting away with resume stacking and you can be pretty sure the product will be late, over budget and developers leave after a year because it turns out using any particular tech stack in and of itself doesn't mean you can create something useful.
Easy to debug and write well-tested - mostly yes. Composable is tough though (make sure all your table aliases are unique, that there are no unambiguous column names, that all your ANDs are in place and don't forget that 1=1 to make it easier to uncomment parts. You already need a somewhat sophisticated query builder just to compose multiple JOINs cleanly. Recently I needed to get a query builder-ish thing going with arbitrary number of conditions which should be done as JOINs and the most I could muster to keep it at least a little manageable was a "pkey IN({literal_subquery})". It does compose as in "yes you can do it" but I wouldn't say it composes very conveniently.

It is in the purview of the government. That's not the question; the statutory justification for a ban is the question.

Every single country on this planet of ours engages in some form of protectionism, whether we like it or not: again, it isn't clear what casuistic justification explains singling out China's protectionism, and even then banning just one company involved in it. Italy doesn't let us sell the sawdust we call "Parmesan," but I'd prefer it if we didn't ban selling the real thing in retaliation.

Finally, for the national risk: what, precisely is the national risk? You can argue (correctly!) that they're a bad actor given this news, and I would be more than happy to see those involved in the surveillance of journalists see the inside of a court. But this doesn't even come close to meeting the standard for a national security risk, weak as that standard has become.
Ask HN: How do you seek mental health help voluntarily?
Have anyone seek mental health treatments voluntarily? If yes what prompt you that you are the one suffering? During this day and age in Canada, the government cannot force anyone to receive treatments or to enter a mental health facility. One must realize that they are suffering from a mental health issue and seek help.

On one hand, two of my mom's friends realized something was off on their end: They became extremely anxious to be by themselves at home and/or could not function properly in their daily lives such as getting out of the bed. They went to their family doctors who transferred them promptly to the specialists. They knew that the prescription medication and the therapy have been helping them. In addition, they spoke to their friends such as my mom that mental health illness is real.

On the other hand, one of my friend's acquaintance has not been unable not keep a job, has shown some delusional behaviour and had anxiety outbursts. My friend could not convince this person that, for example, they were the only one who "saw a person behind the garden gate." They mentioned how someone have been following them. Lastly, they also mentioned how "their family locked her up in a mental health facility" but they signed the papers, left the facility and stopped taking the medications.

My friend and I called the local health unit's mental health hotline looking for ways to help this person. The advice given to us was that we could only guide this person to go to a doctor voluntarily. Forcing someone to receive treatment would increase the trauma. Call 911 only if the person becomes a threat to someone's lives.

We felt powerless as we saw their decline over the last 10 years. We saw how the only way to get them to a hospital has been something that qualify for an emergency 911 call.

The data I linked to you absolutely proves that they do, nuclear is the majority of electricity production in France even in its current production crisis state.

You are moving the goalposts in your reply, and I'm not interested in engaging any further given your dishonesty.

The registry is uniquely crap because it puts all the configuration for everything into some single store - I don't know what devilish format lies beneath it, then it stores everything as binary keys. Things are not separated strictly by application so you end up with a giant pile of intermingled goo.

In Linux, no doubt there's alot to get your head around, but I've never found things to be a giant pile of spaghetti. The challenge Linux has is there's a bajillion ways to do things so you have to be pretty experienced to feel confident crawling around the tunnels and ventilation ducts.

I'm surprised anybody would be willing to risk $246 M for a known fraudster. And I highly doubt their home will still be their home when this is all over.
Fair enough. Honestly, probably not so much about being introverted. I'm actually a marketing person who travels to a lot of events these days :-) But when I'm casually talking 1:1 with someone I know personally, voice-only is just a lot more flexible. I don't mind video but it's more convenient to chat audio-only while also doing something else.

Isn't there something to be said for the volume of anecdotal evidence of older appliances of higher quality? Like, is it really survivor bias if older appliances have a (perceived) significantly higher probability of lasting? Sure, some items may not have lasted, some may be flukes, but if you compare the relative quantities of "older appliances still working" vs "new appliances still working", the proportion of older appliances to the total from "that era" is likely much higher than now.

I have no evidence to back my statements up, and I'm using extremely vague language, but this is at least my perception of this idea that "they don't make 'em like they used to."
I'm sorry but "and he can’t start a business." made me laugh out loud.
I'm not an engineer or a lawyer. ;-)

Nobody's skirting the law. In most US states, there is a so called "industrial exemption," which allows you to do engineering without a license if you work for certain kinds of employers. I work for such a company, though I don't have an engineering title. But when we do offer a product for sale to the public, it goes to a third party for approval, and the people at that company who conduct the design review all have engineering licenses. The thing that will get you in trouble is offering engineering services directly to the public.

Now in my state, there are only licenses for a small handful of engineering disciplines: Electrical, mechanical, power, etc. I don't know if it means that the rest of us can't call ourselves engineers at all, or if we're just unregulated. I've never tested those waters.

From what I've observed, people with engineering job titles rarely do any hard quantitative engineering. Most of the work consists of organizing and arranging things, fitting things together, troubleshooting, etc.

>> Monetizing models is tricky because it’s so cheap to run locally but so expensive in the cloud.

Can you expand on this a bit? The way i'm thinking, that is only the case if you need low-latency. And in that case, it seems you just need to charge to cover compute.

We're running Stable Diffusion on an eks cluster and it evens out the load across calls and prevents over-resourcing.

If latency isnt an issue, it can be run on non-gpu machines. If you're looking for someone under $300 or $400/mo, then I agree it may be an issue.

On that note, I havent checked whether there are lambda/fargate style options which provide GPU power, to achieve consumption based pricing tied to usage, but that might be a route. Can anyone speak to this?
You typically find these people in Evangelical churches that adhere to a literalist interpretation of the Bible, which is the main distinction from other sects of Christianity. These groups also tend to have out-of-mainstream views on eschatology and their own role in bringing the "end times" in the near future (often they believe it will happen in their lifetime).

You can assign meaning to anything. You can assign meaning to a bird passing over your head as you propose to your girlfriend: "it was meant to be."

So sure, there can be meaning in being useful to society. But that's not really my point. My point is that meaning does not need to be a goal. If you hang your life's worth on the meaning you find, I am betting you're going to be disappointed a lot of the time. It doesn't need to be that way. Look beyond meaning for worth and value.
The Financial Times recently started using 'mn' for million, as in '$250mn'.
People are free to attempt to break from society and never use money because of some crazy SovCit conspiracy too. But this was proposed as advice and presented as kind of some correct thing to do so it is quite available for criticism. It is a very strange, mercurial position that no one should really follow if they want to achieve goals discussed in the OP article, such as being financially successful in one’s career.
Thanks for actually answering the question!

Frankly, I wouldn't mind if this happens. I just wish we wouldn't swing "national security" around as the cudgel.

That one was ruined for me in college, assigned in freshman English. I hated it so, so much. And literature in general, if that was the literature they felt was so important as to assign it.

I mentioned a love for Shakespeare in a footnote, something I developed long after high school, despite-not-because-of my high school education. I found my way into it via movies. The same happened with Jane Austen, whom I hated as dumb-people-doing-dumb-things until the right film showed me how it actually was supposed to work.

Conceivably such a thing could exist for Confederacy of Dunces, but I'm not going out of my way to find out.
By these standards, the only well-written operating systems I've ever seen are BeOS and QNX/Photon. Probably iOS (at least, older versions of it) deserves to be on the list, despite mouse use being atypical.

Which... yeah, that actually might be true.
> In a purely market-driven world Europe would not be investing in solar.

Well, maybe, but there's more to a market than buy and sell price. There is also the cost of external energy dependency, for example, or environmental degradation.
I too will abandon a purchasing quest if they force that crap on me. Doubly so for all those small time sites that make me then log in or add something to my cart just to see a price.

I don't understand how this behaviour can persist when it's customer repellant. (Unless they're optimizing for a different captive market, and really aren't interested in my business).

Well, it’s unfortunately true. White women have by far been the greatest beneficiaries of DEI efforts. Of the POC that have benefited from these programs, many come from wealthy families. Functionally, DEI programs mostly exist to launder the reputation of universities.
Great post overall, and great advice on picking your game.

What I would add is: sometimes the thing which you want to do can't be done without some engagement in a game you don't like. It doesn't mean you have to give in and lose yourself entirely to the game, but you need at least pay enough attention to understand what's going on. The world is full of gatekeepers, often where you least expect it. Trying to avoid that reality can sometimes lead you to a worse place than just sucking it up and putting on a smile to get where you want to be.

Yeah, I read that as "of all the money they could spend these greedy bastards only spend 1-2% on R&D", but in reality their "disposable income" is much less the revenue.

That’s how you get out on a DUI. A property bond is different.

There’s no way his parents are forking over their home to a bails bondsmen. There’s also no bail bond man who has $250m.
Right. From Microsoft Bob to VR supermarket, skeuomorphism is mostly a bad idea.

Ask HN: I am starting a new job and I am worried I will screw it up. Advice?
I am starting a new job as a fullstack dev. They know that I don't have too much experience with their stack.

In the past I have struggled, esp in larger companies. I have even been in a situation once, where for months, I had no team, no communication with the manager, and no idea of how to handle some of the work I had.

If I get assigned a complicated project whose details go over my head, or where I am unable to make progress despite effort, and I am being pressured to deliver, my instinct is to immediately exit the situation.

I see people get into teams and seemingly effortlessly set direction, make progress and deliver. Whatever I have tried to replicate that, has failed. That's on me, but I am now walking into a situation assuming I will fail.

Anyone have any advice here?
Yes. I think is not friendly for end-users* and making this on Rust make it easy to plug-in iterators/generators so i go that way.

What's extreme about it? I'm new to ML, but this seems great from a testing and verification perspective.

Why do people use password managers that store all the data on their own servers? Having a centralized database filled with full login information for hundreds of thousands of accounts across all your users (and accounts users clearly care about, mind you, otherwise they wouldn't go out of their way to use a password manager) makes for such an obvious jackpot attack vector that causes situations like this.

I've used Enpass for years now which lets you sync your password database to DropBox, Google Drive, iCloud, etc. So I still have to protect whichever cloud storage account I'm syncing with, but at least it's not an obvious place to find passwords for thousands of users. And if someone did have access to my Google or Apple account, they could reset a lot of my logins anyway.

And I know this isn't technically as safe as the self-hosted options, but it offers the same convenience as LastPass without the obvious painting-a-target-on-your-own-back by handing all your passwords over to The Passwords Store.
Bullshit. You are perfectly capable of letting your children be punished for their negligence or stupidity, and any action to lessen that punishment will just show them how far you are willing to sacrifice your own life to keep them from learning a hard lesson.

They know he knowingly defrauded millions of people out of billions of dollars. If I did that, my mom would let me go to prison for the rest of my life because she knows she taught me morals and that human beings are more important than money and if I decide to ignore that moral framework as an adult then that's on me. Dude is an adult with a fully formed brain. Stopping a twelve year old from burning themselves on a hot stove is one thing, but if your fully adult son still needs to told not to touch the hot stove, it's time to let them fuck around and find out themselves.

That all assumes they had no idea what was going on, which I don't know is believable.
I can't imagine that the time, cost and trouble it is to find a consultant to teach you git would be more than just going on line and reading up on it. There are a gazillion sites that explain enough of it very well.
A related bad UX is forcing users who do have accounts to log in to complete their purchase. I wrote a couple of WordPress/WooCommerce plugins to smooth this out – by prompting for login if an account exists matching the email address, and by adding single use passwords to emails sent from the site, so users who visit the site are already logged in when they arrive:

Speed Queen washers are all tiny, though. Our current LG (a company I despise, but had the highest CR rating by far), is something like 5 cubic feet. The Speed Queens were all in the 3 cubic feet range. Depending on family size, amount of bedding, etc., something that small can be a real pain to deal with.
Sure but it is a lot easier to attack people’s preferences if we consider having a preference to be equivalent to wanting dictatorial control over every creative project.
I went into a sofa store in the UK a few years ago and gave them some details like my email address for a potential purchase which they input into a tablet.

Some time later, I started receiving emails about my sofa purchase, addressed nice and personally to "Paul" (not my name) and then some time after that, emails about my "finance agreement".

It was all legit, except for the fact that none of it was intended for me. Someone had been in to the store after me, and somehow they'd entered my email address on this guys form, he's never had any of his documents about his finance agreement, or when his sofa was going to be delivered, etc, because I had it all.

Hope the guy got his sofa in the end, but company made it almost impossible for me to tell them they were sending all this stuff to the wrong email, in the end I just blocked them.
Right. Satisficing. Lovely Walmart example. Works for getting rid of stuff (decluttering) too. I've downsized my belongings 90% by weight and have only had to rebuy a couple or three things (there's almost always more than one way to do what ya wanna do.)

It was not expensive compared to other commercial Lisp implementations. But the world has moved on and compared to other languages, the prices are unfortunately eye-watering for hobbyists/enthusiasts. Whichs is sad, as Lispworks is a nice environment. I was several times close to getting a personal license, but I just cannot justify it. I can understand that they need to make a living and I am very happy that they are still around. But on the other side, they never managed to get any money from me with their pricing scheme.

I would happily pay the 500 - well at least after a deep breath :p - for a non-commercial license without limits and cross platform, as I would like to use it on the Mac and on Linux, but afterall, I would just use one seat at a time. At
these prices, a subscription model might make sense too.

But, as you wrote, there is SBCL+Slime, which is a great environment too. SBCL is even the better compiler.
