Calling Bullshit: https://www.callingbullshit.org/videos.html

To quote from the syllabus of the course:

" Our learning objectives are straightforward. After taking the course, you should be able to:

- Remain vigilant for bullshit contaminating your information diet.

- Recognize said bullshit whenever and wherever you encounter it.

- Figure out for yourself precisely why a particular bit of bullshit is bullshit.

- Provide a statistician or fellow scientist with a technical explanation of why a claim is bullshit.

- Provide your crystals-and-homeopathy aunt or casually racist uncle with an accessible and persuasive explanation of why a claim is bullshit.

We will be astonished if these skills do not turn out to be among the most useful and most broadly applicable of those that you acquire during the course of your college education."
Bitwarden. Very straight forward and open source
Incredible analogy! I love it!

I scarcely use bookmarks at all; I've never used a bookmark manager. Either I have the URL memorized, or it's easy to find when I want it, or it doesn't actually matter that much.

There was a brief time, back in the '90s before search engines were any good, when I had a long list of bookmarks - but there were no bookmark managers then, and I wouldn't have trusted one if there were, so I lost them all, over and over again, when moving between machines or browsers, and rapidly dropped the habit of collecting them.
The madlad did it. Almost 10 years and 10 revolutions later, the podcast is over. If you haven't, now is a good time to binge it.
Have you learned Rust or used it for any significant project?

In my opinion:

- Rust is more productive than C

- Rust is easier than C, once you get past the initial bump

And it's not my opinion, it's just fact that Rust has practically the same performance as C.

I say this as someone who is currently actively maintaining embedded firmware with 10,000+ lines of C. It will be my last significant C project.
Hyperview only uses React Native for its cross-platform widgets. (I wish Flutter had been used instead). You don't need to touch it unless you're writing custom elements.
Market saturation, my friend.
You could very easily handle storing to localstorage or indexeddb using stores. However, in larger projects that can become error prone and increase complexity (unnecessarily).

To simplify this workflow you could use something like https://github.com/andsala/svelte-persistent-store
Note that repo is basically 50 lines of code to automate this stuff, which is pretty remarkable. However this still won't handle cache invalidation or syncing.

https://sveltequery.vercel.app/ should handle most use cases. This is very similar to React Query (since it's from the same devs at https://tanstack.com/).

For handling the service workers stuff for (what I assume would be a PWA) I'd just use the Vite PWA plugin which uses workbox. That's if I need a service worker at all, if I don't I'd just set the manifest and be done with it.

An alternative depending on the needs of the specific project is to just fallback on something like the Firebase or Supabase SDK which handle offline mutations and syncing for you, for simpler projects these work incredibly well.

I recommend finding better news sources.

As a simple example, there was an employee of a TV news station in Moscow that started screaming pro-Ukraine things on the air, on live TV. She was given a 100 ruble fine (for causing a disturbance) and released.

Meanwhile, people in the EU are actually imprisoned for supporting Russia. And of course Ukraine has death squads, and merely being accused of supporting Russia or being accused of speaking Russian is enough to end up in one of the filtration camps.

The two situations are not comparable at all.
I'm cautiously hopeful. Apple did break things a couple times already, but along with one of the breakages, they also introduced a new "we won't break this thing again" mode.

Interesting, I wonder if the overhead of updating UI based on state “efficiently” (eg MobX style tracking of what should re-render when certain data changes) would actually be slower than brute force updating everything in this scenario? A bit like I’ve heard people talking about just rendering the UI to a canvas, a whole new render 60 times a second, is actually the most efficient way to update a UI for certain cases like really big stock ticker displays (versus selectively re rendering bits of HTML)
I think you are spot on, but I have one small quibble. You use the word "performative" to mean something like "just for show", or "primarily concerned with symbols". Performative is a technical term from linguistics which means something quite different (and interesting!):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performative_utterance

For some reason, that word has become widely used for your meaning. But I think it's not the right term! We should say something like "theatrical", as in security theatre.

As an aside, I think a Marxist would describe the divide as idealism vs materialism (both technical terms in Marxism).
Noob question: why isn’t Rails a native extension? Would that make it quicker?
I was removing an old raised bed from the previous owners, using a 20 pound sledge hammer. I got stung by a yellow jacket on the wrist, and it hurt as much as a toddler would playing with a rubber band.

It took me a few moments to understand what was happening - and I ran into the house, bringing seveal more with me. One got into my shirt and stung me under my arm, and that felt like purple. I balistically punched myself in instinct until they were all dead.

Then I learned how it works. You get tagged by the first hornet. They have a little scent that is a 'tracer', and once they see it, you're marked. Many, many times now I have been tagged by an angry yellow jacket and run to safety before the first stinging. There's about a second or two where your muscle memory can sprint you out of their area, about 300 feet. Often they will be found slamming the back door for several minutes, trying to follow me.

They hate percussive vibrations. Walking, sledgehammering, digging. They have two entrances to their nests, always a hole in the ground. I own a bee suit and will just go dig it up with a shovel now. I think it's still legal to do in my state. I really hate yellow jackets, I'm sorry but I can't see what they are bringing other than their rage.

I'd not mind the structure and flashbacks if

- the finale was not so dumb...

At first I felt a little bored. At the end I was disappointed. Only the middle of the movie was kinda fun.
Alternate hypothesis: tech is still a great sector but as monetary policy has moved away from “money printer go brrr” growth equities have predictably been hit harder than most.

We were running ZIRP and some insane level of QE that’s a bit of a puzzle to even measure. Yeah, equities markets were more than a little overheated.

The notional values may have re-scaled a bit but I’ll go out on a limb and venture that Alphabet is still a great business.
I don’t have children but raising kids isn’t easy. I commend you.

People really hate being killed. Like 100x more than just dying. It's why you can win elections by fear-mongering crime or terrorism but not disease, auto safety or disaster preparedness.
We are seriously in the dark ages of writing right now. It’s not that good books, movies and tv shows aren’t being made, but most of the top tier a list stuff is just astoundingly awful and amateurish. It’s like these industries are trying to make hot garbage now and only occasionally goof up and accidentally end up with a good story.

The US of course isn’t in a position to negotiate, since we aren’t actually in the conflict. We’ll just keep sending weapons to Ukraine so they have as strong a position as they can get.

Ukraine is defending so… I dunno, I guess they aren’t very motivated to make concessions. I guess the starting point for negotiations for them would be Russia leaves, and then the details of where on the spectrum from “huge” to “massive” the reparations are can be worked out.
I signed up out of curiosity. Definitely not Amish. Also not sure why they warn you about The English.
> is unambiguously contradicted by the facts, aka "wrong".

Can you demonstrate this deductively, logically, or with evidence?

I googled your proposition and came up with no obvious study you must be thinking about. Can you link it, please?

My point is also to reject the restrictive assignment of people based on primary sexed attributes. Sorry, you've got a vagina, you can't drive a racecar good. Seems insane to me. Typically when people talk about "certain professional aspirations attract certain people," it's not out of a desire to help people find roles in society that align with their gender identities, it's to enforce cultural stereotypes and maintain, in the case of our society, usually patriarchal hierarchies. Not always, sometimes it's matriarchal ones (such as regarding custody of children). This is to me distasteful and I strongly push for people to justify their positions when they could lead to this enforcement, even if it isn't their intention.
It’s clickbait because it asserts something surprising and extreme about a movie that is generally considered to be very good, and then the article can’t really back the title up, let alone its even more extreme yet wishy-washy claim that the movie “might be” one of the worst movies the author has ever seen (talk about bad writing — that should be either “is one of the worst” or “might be the worst”).

The article maaaybe identifies one or two minor flaws, but mostly demonstrates that the author didn’t understand the movie. The word “fugue” is not mentioned in the review, for one of the many big misses.

It reads to me like garden variety clickbait of the “Beatles didn’t have a single good song” or “the internet has done no good” variety.
Well put.

>Oh many of us are pretty good at assessing risk.

My figure would be less that 5% of the population are good at assessing risk, what's your guess?
it's not an overreaction to that movie.
I've been producing buggy code for over 20 years. Don't need no AI to help me do that.
> The point about whether the sister who journaled everything wouldn't have journaled about creating the software

Where does it say she didn't journal about the software? And - imagining said entry - even if you could prove the date the entry was written, it's still just hearsay against the testimony of 4 others.
Can somebody fix the title? GANs (generative adversarial networks) and GaN (gallium nitride) are both topics that come up on HN, but this article is about the latter.
Maybe some will feel similar to you but I think it's a minority.

The fact is that working in some kind of white collar job is much, much easier that being at home with one or more young kids. If somebody tells you otherwise then they either lie or are have older children or their work conditions are very bad.

However the difficulty doesn't really matter. Your choice is between time with your kids and time away from your kids! Please, consider that discussion from yesterday about how short life is and that you only have a finite amount of holidays to pass with your kids. Think a little about it and maybe you'll avoid childcare on your holidays from now on.
Not to their children, or to anyone else’s, in any context in which there isn’t an overwhelming voice of opposition always present. Allowing someone infected with stupidity to willfully infect those who cannot consent in an informed manner is unethical in the extreme.
This may seem contrary, but spending more time with your child, not less can help your happiness and your wife's.Avoid associating negative feelings with your child. She's learning and needs you to help her. It's not easy but you can do it and you will get long term deep satisfaction from that work. Look for ways to understand your chuld and contribute to her learning and adapting to the world. Proven fact that quantity of time with your child not quality is more important to bonding and healthy child development If you are going to have any family happiness or long term healthy bonding you must learn to fully incorporate and embrace your child into your life. Accept the fact that your life as an independent couple is over - if you keep fighting that you will never be happy. Children are not hobbies but a life's work. While your bond with your wife should be a priority, you are now a family of three, work to embrace that. Avoid negative thoughts and focus on the moment and the goals your family together are working towards. True joy can be found in satisfaction of contributing to a new life being formed. Read up on child development. She's establishing her independence which will serve her well later in life. Teach her gently safe boundaries and guardrails to learning the world around her, as well as areas she can explore with curiosity. Children grow up quickly and what seems like drudgery will have many payoffs when she's older.
"Learn to say: I do not know about this/that. You cannot know everything that gets presented to you. The bad habit comes when the same technological asset appears for a second time and you still do not know how it works or what it does."

Absolutely. I've seen so many junior engineers / devs go on about it like this:

Someone higher up: Could you please look at this problem? I need it fixed ASAP.

Jr. Engineer, presented with a problem he's never seen before: No problem, I will look into it!

Someone higher up (the next day): Did you fix the problem?

Jr. Engineer: Sorry, I haven't still gotten around to look at it / I'm still working on it / etc.

Someone higher up: We really need it fixed today, please prioritize it and give me a call when it is fixed.

Jr. Engineer works on the problem all night, feeling stressed out, not wanting to let down his seniors.
How to set up a robot vacuum cleaner without internet
I agree that it’s not practical. Ship has sailed a long time ago.

But one solution might be a “noImplicitImpure” option.
Fortunately Dobby lived to be a grandfather, right?
But also, if there was at least a reason tagged along with the flagging, that could be helpful to submitters, don’t you think? Making people guess as to the reason for flagging seems like poor UX to me, and increases the overall hostility of the site to users.

Also, those links I posted are of far less importance to me than my actual concern in terms of how HN and other sites shape my perception of the world based on their UX design. That is the reason I posed this question. Not to complain about my posts getting flagged.
First off, you're judging group by the loudest/most obnoxious member. Plus this feeds into your existing biases. You didn't note same tone coming from members of D community.

Second. Regarding using C, how would you react if someone told you: "I prefer driving cars with seatbelts and airbags removed. I like the speed you get from the reduced mass."
Me, I'm not gonna try to convince you. I just don't want to drive with you.

Third people like their tribes. Insulting some language is bound to cause some members of said languages to retort. See discussion about D and Rust.
> it boggles me that this is not a corner stone of the American Left

In my memory as a kid who grew up in the US south in the 80s, this was a cornerstone of the left. Maybe my perception was wrong back then, or maybe my memory of it is wrong, but that’s what I recall.

I suspect this is a pendulum. Maybe those who are in power devalue freedom of thought / expression and those who are out of power champion it. The incentives for such an effect are pretty clear.

Anyway, I tend to be libertarian (classical liberal) for this among other reasons. It’s not because it’s “the best” political philosophy, but rather because I dislike the holes in other philosophies more than the holes in this one.
Nah, it's the perfect size actually (I am using a laptop, I don't know how it is on mobile screens)
This is so true, and well said.

I lost a few family members this year and it made me realize all the bs baggage that comes with employment.

Needless to say, I don’t do on call anymore.
Matt Walsh recently said he wants the cops to break down the doors of drag show performers and jail them.

https://www.losangelesblade.com/2022/10/20/matt-walsh-police...

You're going to argue that it's a joke? Well no wonder we don't understand this kind of humor, it's not funny.

> I recently watched a socialist YouTuber argue against Ayn Rand because someone might read her books and fail to understand it was fiction. And thus her books should be banned. That’s an argument against all fiction books but he made this argument with a totally straight face while speaking against the dangers of capitalism in general.

Smells like tankie to me. I've yet to hear a good leftist argument for the banning of any book. Who was this? I'd like to watch the video, because I do more than argue against the "dangers" of capitalism, and I love a good lefty infight.
Obsidian is also self-hosted, so i don't understand your point. It's just a very fancy Markdown editor of local files.
it may if you focus it properly. Acrylic melts really well with IR lasers this may be easier they are cheap.
> Pointlessness of Organization: my Calibre and Zotero libraries are a mess. But is that bad? Is there any point to organizing them? I can always find what I need, either by searching or browsing, because I have a spatial sense of where each book is in Calibre’s big grid view. If I went through everything in Calibre and Zotero, and fixed the titles, added missing authors, publishers, publication years, fixed the cover images—what then? What have I gained? Nothing. It is a waste of time to organize things too much.

On reading this, I felt like I already sort of knew this, and this internet stranger validated my thoughts.
Despite this, I bet you agree that murder is a net negative that has survived for longer than religion.
> Refer to those who are not New Reformed Amish as "The English."

Speaking on behalf of The actually English, yeah all right then.

Everyone that doesn't want to be one of these pretentious, neo Luddite bellends back to mine. I'll put the kettle on for a brew and bust out the Hobnobs. :P

DuckDuckGo doesn't profile its users according to their search patterns, and everyone gets the same search results. [1]

Due to the nature of Google's approach to self-management, his "unpopular opinion" immediately constituted creation of a Title-VII hostile work environment. Google didn't have a lot of options when he chose not to back down.

He can certainly support his opinion, but he can't do it in the context of an American workplace by law.
Just finished reading every comment on this. Full disclosure: After 18+ years publishing a daily blog I currently have one (1) paying fan. Every month via Ko-fi/Stripe he sends me $2, of which $1.64 is deposited into my bank account. And I'm fine with that.
I reject zig because its maintainer has a maturity problem when dealing with critics. That's all I'll say about it. Bring on the downvotes, but I don't trust the security of the language whatsoever.
I didn't say any of that, in fact I referred to Dan Luu here so that people would get the shorthand (Luu family has written that DS&A coding and whiteboard interviews are not predictive). The only reason you're picking this apart is that you're confusing necessary and sufficient conditions as well as confusing sufficing and optimizing. Either way you're not responding to the substantive point: that if you're optimizing for an expectation of regular high income rather than creative freedom, employment (being dependent on one entity) is the path. But if you want creative freedom, a large number of people that like your work a little is better than being beholden to ten business or 1000 devoted big spender fans.
This was the bit that got me:

> People have this aspirational idea of building a vast, oppressively colossal, deeply interlinked knowledge graph to the point that it almost mirrors every discrete concept and memory in their brain. And I get the appeal of maximalism. But they’re counting on the wrong side of the ledger. Every node in your knowledge graph is a debt. Every link doubly so.
Serious question - do you have stake in the company the same way your CEO does?
No, I care about the communities I participate in so if I see misinformation in "new" I flag it. (I didn't flag your submissions)

You forgot the Holy D Cup.

In other words don't be asshole to other people, unless you want them to stir drama. And if you are, make sure you have some decent ammo to back those claims.
There are a few points that could be made. The primary point is that even though they might score low on some metric, the people of Bhutan are pretty much all well-off and happy. The king decreed democracy not long ago. It's a kind of "existence proof" that people can pretty much be alright.

Consider a couple of other stats from that site:

> the proportion of population with access to electricity in 2020 was 100%.

and a 2.5% unemployment rate.
Thinking of the future in and of itself is not responsible for those reactions. Habitually agonizing about negative possibilities is a problem that remains whether you make predictions or not, and should be addressed. CBT or 3rd wave CBT like MCT are good options
The character has an obsession with repeating a single letter in his company names/products and big sources of changing the world are rockets, cars, and a news site. He also is clearly into crypto (if you look at the background).

It's not a far leap.
If I was to test things that were part of UI code, but were still "mechanical" enough to test automatically, I would throw responses into an HTML parser to make sure I'm presenting the right data. (In a way, HTML strings are also a kind of "virtual DOM")! If you need to test interactions though, I don't think a headless browser is avoidable.

It's difficult to make recommendations as the field is vast and every major technology, such as programming languages, computer architectures, or operating systems has its own history and I'm not familiar with general histories of computer science. So it's better to search for resources on specific technolgies, for example Unix. A good starting point is "UNIX: A History and a Memoir" by Brian Kernighan.
