> So you don't advocate for unit tests, you don't want a powerful type system, what do you want?

"Write tests. Not too many. Mostly integration."

Leave static typing for performance-critical sections.

So is dynamic typing. Only performance in this case means developer performance. Turns out most of our software is not landing airplanes, and developer performance is way more important than occasional non-critical bug that affects 5 users and gets fixed within a day.
University of California invests $4B in Blackstone’s real estate fund
He doesn't but few on the street do. Could hack something over the summer that provides some charge on my driveway when I am net producing. Not sure if any legal/tax issues with the setup though. An interesting community project.

I am still waiting on someone to come out with a NLU model that can do the basic home automation tasks that most people use alexa/google assistant for. Ex: turn on lights, turn on heat, etc.

I think if you could develop a piece of hardware that could run inference on all of that for under $500 a lot people would ditch the cloud based voice assistants. Especially if it came with home assistant integrations.
But navigating between functions / classes / paragraphs / sections is also trivial in most real editors.
> I'd be curious what the power structure looks like between the prison medical staff and these women's primary care providers/obstetricians.

I'd be shocked if prisoners in the US are allowed access to doctors outside of the prison medical staff (or whoever they're outsourcing care to).
That's an insane number. 25 solar panels + 9 kW inverter + bindings and wires would result in around 8000$.
> If the US had an equivalent of lib dems and/or proportional representation and/or ranked choice, would it still be so polarised

I don't think this would be a panacea, but it would definitely help things quite a bit. The largest voting block in the U.S. isn't Democrats or Republicans, but voters that have chosen not to be affiliated with either party.
At the client I work for we have 2-3 meetings every other week that are frequently attended by 50-100 people. One is a "demo meeting", where teams present their work, the other one is called "architecture guild", where people discuss the system's architecture, how to improve it, recent changes and developments etc. Attending the meetings is not strictly mandatory, though.

All-hands happen, as you say, approximately every 2-3 months.
All of that are changes/features regardless of which form they take.
Why do communities even move to Discord?
I can't honestly understand it. It has the worst UI ever. Does it have some killer feature others lack?
since every issue apparently has two quite defined and non-overlapping 'sides', what is a moderate? someone who chooses Ala-carte?
To add to this, stimulants can release dopamine or even bind to dopamine receptors in parts of the brain responsible for emesis, which the CTZ is part of.

Adderall might lead to downstream raising of serotonin levels, but the drug itself doesn't act on serotonin and I'd be genuinely surprised if the emesis symptoms it can cause were mediated by serotonin and not the dopamine it acts on.

Drugs that block dopamine receptors in the CTZ, like compazine, are regularly prescribed as antiemetics.
Sure, Ukraine wanting Crimea back where it belongs is true. Twisting this fact to suggest that they caused the war -- which actually started when Russia took Crimea -- is false and propaganda.
I remeber in the very early 2000s, a guy had a stopwatch sized whos-it, and it kept flashing numbers on it. Updated every 5 minutes.

Apparently, some cesium based list of numbers, again, was 20 years ago.

Point is, it was a one time pad...
Have you ever imagined it will come a day when an AI can explain this joke?

> This code snippet appears to be a joke because it is claiming to be a function that returns a random number, but the function always returns the number 4. The line "chosen by fair dice roll / guaranteed to be random" is a reference to the common phrase "random as a dice roll," which means something is truly random and unpredictable. However, the fact that the function always returns 4 suggests that it is not actually random at all.
In neither case did he get even a simple majority of the votes. He won/almost won due to a quirky US presidential system that overrepresents small population states.

That fact supports the "no one" generalization.
They probably check for Lafayette - what else is there in that hick state ;).
"What should we measure to improve developer productivity?" is a decades-old problem for leaders with no clear solution.

There finally seems to be some level of consensus that output metrics like lines of code, # of PRs, and commits, are an ineffective approach.

Lean metrics like cycle time and lead time can be a helpful high-level diagnostic, but they're far from an indicator of effectiveness or productivity.

A new approach being adopted by many organizations is to focus on the actual experiences of developers... the things that slow them down or frustrate them... and turn these into measurements that guide improvement. I'm the founder of getdx.com where we're publishing research on this: http://paper.getdx.com
When I was in university and hanging out with the types of people that go to music festivals and raves, you'd run into that kind of person sort of often.
Not just that, but an ATS needs to be installed like the Enphase Enpower. That's usually at least a few thousand to have an electrician install.
Python packaging gets a lot of criticism. It's a meme. The thing is, it's actually improved dramatically over the years and continues to improve.

The problems it solves are very complex if one looks a little below the surface. It is solving different problems to the ecosystems that it's often compared to: golang, rust, java, js.
Not generally, although precisely how this works in a passkey world remains to be seen.

In the underlying webauthn technology, a non-resident key is uniquely generated for every account you have. In theory your use of the same token for multiple accounts on a platform isn't detectable by the provider (assuming you have good opsec around use of IPs and session isolation). There is one super targeted attack a rogue site could do - it could serve up another account's challenge, which it suspects to be you, and see if your device returns a valid webauthn response for it.

Passkeys should be slightly better than this in theory - as they let you select a stored identity to authenticate as.

The crux will be how Google and Apple implement this - and whether this holds true or not in their ecosystems. There's no reason it shouldn't.
When you have two choices in a polarized country, one of them is going to win and the other is going to "almost win". That's what makes this situation so ugly.
Thanks for the attempt at constructive criticism.

There are actually that many words as subtitles in the video, I didn't leave out the hearing impaired.

And a few hundred words are not necessary when six words at the top of the screen pretty much make it clear to most people. Maybe <h1> is not big enough, will consider making it bigger.
I was excited to read about the new ultra wide monitors Samsung is announcing at CES, but to my dismay I read they come with "smart" features and apps and a "game center"... in a MONITOR. I hope this stuff is optional and able to be disabled, but I don't have a lot of hope.
No, its not. Its an r/IAmVeryClever comment.

You may as well accuse mothers themselves as unlawfully imprisoning their children against their will, either born or unborn.
A 5-qubit code corrects against single qubit errors. You could say a factor of 5 is a lower bound. In more technical terms, this scheme fixes all weight-1 errors.

More realistically [1], you'd have a factor of around 1,600 for a distance-27 code.

Most of my life I was like this. I studied for exams the night before, same for coursework. I did the night owl thing. I would leave my work right until internal deadlines and rush or work late to finish.

9 months ago I started a new job. It was a relatively senior role for me. Straight away my manager kicked my ass if I didn’t get stuff done. It was fully expected that I was a productive and competent member of the team. The prospect of loosing my job was very real. There is also no working from home so there is nowhere to hide. I quickly started focusing and putting in extra effort. For a while I had to put in extra time outside work to get up to standard but now I just work productively and go home.

When I work on my side projects I make far more progress far more quickly. I feel far better about work and life in general as I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time.

My advice is to put yourself in a situation that will demand a lot from you. Make sure you can’t make excuses and that you have someone/thing to hold you legitimately accountable to a high standard. It may be hard but in the long term it’ll help you reach your potential.
>> A former Texas district attorney agreed Friday to serve 10 days in jail for withholding evidence that could have stopped an innocent man from going to prison for nearly 25 years

10 days is nothing. Why not give the prosecutor 25 years in prison? After all, that is how many years the innocent man was sent to prison for.
The only issue is when all the space is taken so the next person who shows up can't sit down at all.

Blogging and the like is more publishing than "public" in my opinion.
In case anyone else is confused, apparently this comes from a defendant in a wire fraud case, Matt Channon, as per the gofundme page [0]

The case apparently found the couple guilty and charges were held against them, and I believe some jail time also [1] [2].

My post's purpose isn't to affirm or deny the claim in the video, but to add the context I was missing for when the video got to the end and changed its tone considerably.

I do think their observations are interesting, but I also assumed at first this was from an attorney showing instances of forged warrants, not from a layperson.

So while I do think there are interesting discrepancies, I would feel more comfortable taking them at face value if persons within the field of law would confirm some of these statements.

He's also just talking out of his ass. Prisoners have informed consent rights just like you and I do.
In a way. In Furman v. Georgia, the interpretation of "cruel and unusual" led to a four-part test ([1]):

- The "essential predicate" is "that a punishment must not by its severity be degrading to human dignity", especially torture.

- "A severe punishment that is obviously inflicted in wholly arbitrary fashion."

- "A severe punishment that is clearly and totally rejected throughout society."

- "A severe punishment that is patently unnecessary."

In a real way, cruel but banal is permitted under this test. For instance solitary confinement and slavery, the latter of which is expressly permitted for prisoners under the 13th amendment.

This is of course why the US penal system needs wholesale reform.

There have been plenty of nutjob feminists out there; "feminism" is very broad and there is a wide range of variety in viewpoints. Many of these viewpoints are reasonable. Others ... not so much.

A few years ago I tried to bring up this issue in the comments section of a paywalled (and fairly small) magazine where I voiced the view that we should move a little bit "beyond feminism" and look more towards gender relations and have a more "holistic" view on things, rather than look only from a female perspective. Not that there's anything wrong with feminism, but you know, it's just one side.

In the next article my comment was cited to "demonstrate" that men still had a lot to learn with some disparaging and condescending text.

Not the first nor last time I've seen something similar happen. Yes, you can have the occasional constructive discourse on a small scale (such as HN), but bringing the topic to the forefront in the mainstream is difficult, especially as a man. When you do succeed it captures attention for 5 minutes and then we move on and nothing really happens.

So ... I gave up. I don't really talk about it much. Why bother? It's like screaming in a void.

So what are we left with then if many of the reasonable people have given up? The nutjobs. And now it's even harder to bring these issues up.
If you post proposals for change, rather than why everything sucks, you may have better reception. The internet is full of armchair cynics who like to talk about how everything sucks. But few people are actually out there trying to impact a change, even if just in the form of ideas.

This is not a criticism of you by the way, just an observation of what I've found actually works. By my nature I'm pretty cynical but I try and hold it back, it is rarely productive.

If you want to experience this in a slightly more controlled way, I'd recommend you give the game "Turing complete" a spin.

It lets you build your own turing complete processor, and define a simple assembly language, starting from NAND gates and you can create your own arbitrarily wild edge cases for specific opcode combinations.
No.

They’re talking about feature incompatibility within a single version.

You’re talking about feature differences between different versions.

Completely different things.
I learned about tafl from a program called "Zillions of Games" which was a board game playing system from the early 00s. Had a custom rules engine where you could teach it to play any kind of board game with perfect information, and all kinds of current and historical games were implemented, including tafl.

Apparently it was abandoned in 2005 or so but somebody is trying to make an updated version: https://github.com/david-pfx/AmzPlayer
<cynical-but-true>

It's because we've built an industry-wide culture of never broaching a topic of feedback that might be even a little uncomfortable. So it's frowned upon to say the thing that would actually help both the other person and yourself — and, often, the other person would have no idea how to hear such a thing anyway.

What we mean:

"The exercise of writing out what you want/mean will help you clarify your own thoughts and end up saving us both a lot of time. It would make the whole company better if we were all disciplined about doing that first, genuinely trying to make progress asynchronously, and then only jumping on a call if really needed."

Instead, we say:

"My internet has been weird all week. Do you mind if we do this one over chat?"

And then we hope that, after the 25th time we say this, they'll figure out the common-sense basics of human communication and empathy on their own.

The vast majority of academic "achievement" measures are centered on tests which entirely disallow looking things up.

Especially in poorer public schools, learning is modeled as recitation. It's awfully sad. Most students are lucky if they get one or two teachers that break that mold.
"The value of a … education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think."

While anyone with a (good) STEM education knows this to be obviously true, its frightening how many people go through 16+ years of formal schooling where they mostly do rote memorization and regurgitation.
> If the prison can argue that the induction leads to meaningfully better health outcomes (and induction frequently does!) then that is the end of the matter

This mirrors the situation in China, likely for similar reasons.

To this day, I can only do online banking with Internet Explorer 11. When logging in, of course the password field doesn't permit pasting. I have a couple ActiveX controls and certs installed, but I've forgotten which ones so I'll just have to keep that old laptop around. The one bright spot is that large transactions do require a USB dongle.

At least one other website I've used (perhaps Alipay?) required you to install a browser plugin simply to be able to "securely" enter your PIN.

Rewinding back to 2014, the brand new government website for buying train tickets[0] didn't have an SSL cert signed by any of the trusted authorities. If you wanted to buy tickets securely, you needed to download a zip file (over http) that contained 1) a self-signed root cert, and 2) a Microsoft Word document explaining how to add this to your OS's trusted root cert store and how this is totally legit and secure.

Yes, there is some great tape emulation out there (uHe's Satin is killer https://u-he.com/products/satin/), but tape machines aren't desirable for the sound alone - they can be instruments in their own right.

Believe me, I'm in favor of building much, much more housing than we are now, and of a more diverse kind. But by focusing on the price of housing (whether for rent or purchase), I think the conversation gets wrongly shifted to how to directly address the problem of some people not having enough money to pay their rent or afford a down payment; and we inevitably descend into ineffective policies like rent control or affordable housing mandates on new construction.

The supply of housing needs to drastically increase in housing-constrained places that suffer from homelessness. That means fewer zoning regulations, fewer environmental regulations, stronger rights of property owners to develop and sell or rent their property for what the market will bear, allowing "poorer" housing (like the boarding houses that Yglesias's article discusses), and so on and so forth. But you also need to convince the public that the people they see strung up on the street can be good neighbors; otherwise none of that policy change would happen. So we must also address drug addiction.
No question the European dependency on Washington is currently reinforced.

However, it just occured to me that LNG terminals have one big advantage over a Russia-Europe pipeline: There is exactly one country that can send gas through a pipline that starts in Russia.

There are many countries that can send ships to our LNG terminals.

If, how, and when we make use of that flexibility is another question completely, of course.
As a guess, if you're the only one who knows about this, it's one hell of a zero day. Once used though, the cat is out of the bag and industry will race to patch it. Yes, it'll take time.

If I were a country who could easily just drop bombs on people to cause destruction, then I'd rather leak something that I have no defense against in the hopes it gets patched rather than save it as a tool to use.

A lot of well meaning people are seriously damaging the country by injecting politics into spheres that the public broadly needs to perceive as “neutral” such as law and medicine. This is usually accompanied by efforts to reframe contentious policy debates as “non-political.” Which of course makes no sense because lots of things that aren’t political in the abstract quickly become political when it comes to people advancing specific remedies or ways of restructuring society.
They had sustained them for close to 20 years before that point of "edge of bankruptcy", and they soon grew into a great business post the colored Ive's iMac. It's only the iPod's phenomenal success that obscured their Mac unit, but the iMac and Powerbooks were already a big success when Jobs returned.

As for the "edge of bankruptcy" was due to a series of bad business decisions, not the Mac line itself. If anything, the Mac line and Mac customers was the only thing they still had going for them. It was the OS that was old and tired in an era of good enough Windows, Apple wasting resources in Copland, Newton and other endeavors without results, the blunder of allowing clones that ate into their Mac lunch, and so on.
