> This is a parent with a very specific kind of mindset about who should be the ultimate authority on their child.

I think this may be your problem: you don't perceive the parent as the ultimate authority on the child.

As a tutor, you fill a strictly advisory role, not a position of authority, and even your advisory role is limited in scope. If you try to exert authority or influence outside of that scope then yes, you will run into a wall. You have to accept that your ability to influence extends only as far as the parents' trust in you.

As you gain trust, the circle in which you can exert influence expands, but you have to know where the boundaries are because every time you step out of them you lose trust and your ability to influence becomes weaker, not stronger.
Many people struggle with anxiety, depression, lack of energy or other, sometimes extremely harsh and severe, mental issues. To blanketly dismiss the problems people encounter and then to condemn the possibility of treatment or relief is callous and impulsive.
Snapshot testing works well for component systems, especially with storybook. There is a service called Chromatic that lets you diff component changes visually using storybook output.
Our pediatrician (not in the US) has the same policy. She mentioned that the people that reject recommended vaccinations are often the same that show up with a highly contagious child at the front desk, asking for immediate treatment instead of calling ahead and being let in at a dedicated side entrance to avoid endangering other patients.
> I can't but reflect back on another post I made today, which is that everything fails at scale.

That reminds me of: Terry Davis' TempleOS Brutal Take Down of Linus Torvalds

All computer people today have been jedi-mindtricked, they obsess on if there's one thing they all wanna show you they know is scaling. Everybody is obsessed with scaling. Guess what. Scaling works both ways. You can get bigger. What happens if you look the other direction and you scale down? It doesn't get bad, it gets worse when you scale up. It gets better when you scale down.

I think it's a fundamental problem of flexibility of specialization vs generality. I laid out my thoughts on this on the website in the "On Flexibility" article (There's an article on print statements, too, by the way).
This is exactly when I find most of my compiler bugs : every time we upgrade.
It will depend a bit on where you are located.

I got mine done in a very small shop in Berlin from a Schuhmachermeister. Shes unfortunately not doing shoes anymore. Supposedly there are only around 100 left in all of Germany. I know Florence in Italy also still has quite a few shoemakers.

Its likely a major city close to you still has at least one that still makes shoes. This is something you want to get done in person as they must have the exact measurements of your feet.

Bloomberg did a relatively short video on it a few years back. It explains a bit about the process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITiyKmYnL-0
Redosing just makes the comedown/hangover worse, and prolongs the tail end effects which aren't all that great anyway.

Also increases risk of taking too much and ending up doing yourself harm.
Then it might as well be fstrings by default, rstrings for raw.
While any sane person would agree in general, it isn't hard to find examples of experts in any domain who made some mistake in that domain at some point.

Also, normal people are absolutely terrible about probability.

Combined, I therefore suspect it's "I know they're normally right, but not about this."
A rather whimsical take on the scene which frustratingly skipped some of the best aspects

Freedom… depending on where you lived (Sydney in my case) you could party every hour Friday night until Monday morning, linking up clubs

Parking was easier, you could drive places without a permit

Anonymity… there was no social media and cameras were few and far between

Music… some of the sounds had never been heard before. Even in 2023 you can go into a wanker bar and hear stuff like Kruder and Dorfmeister or Dmitri from Paris playing overhead. Music sounds just stopped being made

Scale… Gatecrasher, Creamfields, Ibiza, Love Parade, Bush Doof, Raves … it is less these days or more atomised

1999-Millenium… just an amazing transition time that cannot be bottled
Messaging and PR equated the new controversial vaccine with the older routine ones (in the sense of safety and effectiveness, leveraging their track record) and -- surprise -- it goes both ways - it has cast some of the controversy back onto the routine ones.

A lot of people who had never in their life questioned vaccine safety or necessity, are now looking into them and not always coming with the conclusion that they are needed.
>Thus, where's the jump to buying a brand new computer in installments?

Sometimes you're "forced" to it. Me, a third-world student, buying a laptop expecting the thing to last at least 7 or 8 years before it becomes obsolete. Now, you have to drop something around 1000 USD when your monthly income from being a cashier at the local supermarket is 250ish.

Also (you can, but) you wouldn't be buying used because there are plenty of scammers around, no warranty in used electronics, and with such a large investment (4x your monthly salary) you become REAL risk-averse real fast. What do you do? You go to an appliances store and buy your new laptop in 18-24 instalments, with a 12-month warranty (or even more if the extra price for the extended time is worth it/low enough).

Guess from where I'm typing this and if there are any instalments left? :D
Not even older, it's a standard heating technique in the UK and Ireland, even in modern homes built last year. You can use an air-to-water heat pump to retrofit a condensing gas boiler. Some even come integrated in to the hot water storage tank - https://rointe.ie/electric-water-heaters/heat-pumps/

Theoretically you could indeed drive cool water to the radiators to cool the house, but you don't get the convection effect that a radiator produces when hot, nor thermal radiation. So you need to rely on transfer of heat from the air to the metal of the radiator, potentially with no airflow. Easier to open the windows. In the last 12 years, I've never wished I had a system to chill the air in my dwelling; Ireland is generally on the cool side (though this may change).
I had way too much fun making these animations.
There was an interesting sentence in that section. I thought that factors shouldered the non-payment risk but article seems to imply that non-payment would come back and bite the truckers
Those who write 24/7 continuous pipelined processing numerical code for signal process and instrument monitoring are very interested in robust code.

This is almost but not quite secure code - the thread in common is that secure and robust code both have to sensibly handle and happily continue in a known state no matter what the input.

Hackers use fuzzers to concoct evil input that forces exploitable states.

The real world applies sod's law to any input that comes from sats, planes, instruments, etc.

Power flucuations, lightening strikes, disconnected wires left dangling and sparking, N+10 hard resets where N is a number so ridiculous nobody would ever turn it on and then off again quickly that often, ... etc.

When you circle back on any such signal collation for analysis, image generation, cross reference poor handling of unexpected input will cause such a mess that inevitably the habit develops to code excessively defensively, as too much paranoia is rarely enough.
Under Australia's "No Jab, No Pay" laws, families cannot receive government taxation benefits for their unvaccinated children. In addition, some states require an up to date vaccination record to be enrolled in pre-school, kindergarten, and in some states, primary school.

Interestingly, it was News Limited (parent company of Fox News) that championed these laws.

In my personal experience... you are wrong. I mean, the part about knowing better than someone that works with something.

People working in some fields often suffer the "It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It"

Example: I have Hashimoto's Disease. All endocrinologists I went to, wouldn't help me, some of them burned a lot of my money trying to prove I had diabetes or other disease that could lead to expensive treatment (one insisted I had cancer, despite every test for cancer she asked for, returning negative). In the end to get treatment I got help from an Ophthalmologist, that even explained to me some things I didn't knew about the disease.

Example 2: when I was having some mental issues, all psychiatrists kept giving me random meds that were recently patented and expensive, and refused to let me get Ritalin, that was cheap because generic version of it exists. In the end the solution was ritalin. To get the ritalin I went to a psychiatrist that inherited lots of wealth and focused treating poor people, I suspect that psychiatrist in particular is the only one not getting dinners, parties and other "marketing events" from manufacturers. (I also in one point of my career worked in a software company that one project was make an app for the pharma client sales team track all the "gifts" given to doctors...)
3 months seems to be a fairly arbitrary length of time, but yes - its not a drug you want to take too often, and redosing is counterproductive.

Its unfortunate that due to prohibition, a lot of harm reduction advice is based on folk wisdom kind of knowledge as opposed to hard science.
> because you have to argue that the intent is to steal the copyright by copying already existing artworks

Copyright infringement can happen without intending to infringe copyright.

Various music copyright cases start with "Artist X sampled some music from artist Y, thinking it was transformative and fair use". The court, in some of these cases, have found something the artist _intended_ to be transformative to in fact be copyright infringement.

> You can't copyright artistic style, only actual output

You copyright outputs, and then works that are derived from those outputs are potentially copyrighted. Stable Diffusion's outputs are clearly defined from the training set, basically by definition of what neural networks are.

It's less clear they're definitely copyright-infringing derivative works, but it's far less clearcut than how you're phrasing it.
But code is open source so r*ussians who cares?
As a current subscriber I'm not sure I agree with this.

Yes Strava does do social stuff but they're a mixed bag and also free. I like that they don't do aggressive surveillance as a business model (it's one of the reasons I subscribe) but it's also pretty useless for organising and planning future rides.

Lots of people comment and give kudos after an event's happened but I don't know anyone using Strava to agree meeting up somewhere. All of that side of things seems to happen on Signal, Whatsapp or FB here.

I do like the route planning but I'm not sure I'll continue to subscribe just for that given the new prices.
Oh wow I didn’t know about that. That’s huge. I remember people some time ago buying dozens of Macs to create their own CI/CD with racks of half open MacBooks running 24/365.

Great they have that now!
This is very true. I don't know if you're saying that about vaccination providers or anti-vax campaigners (Deliberate ambiguity? I ask because I do that sometime).

While there is a massive difference in evidence supporting these two sides, as I have a mere GCSE grade C in biology, I necessarily have to just have faith in the research methods and licensing regimes that made my 4 Covid jabs and humpteen others.

Not unadulterated faith, but I do have faith, and it is only faith. I can't do a double-blind replication even if I wanted to.
I know which ones you’re talking about, and I agree about them. They’re called 365+. While these seem to be the most popular, there are others which are shaped for better ergonomics and utility.
> But think: everything in those describe blocks had to be written by hand.

It also had to be thought about by the developer. Someone had to say "I want the code to do this under these conditions".

If your tests can be autogenerated then they aren't verifying expected behaviour, they're just locking in your implementation such that it can't change later. They are saying "hey look everyone, I got my coverage metric to 100% (despite any bugs I may have)."
heroine and Meth are not hallucinogenic drugs.
I have never taken MDMA, but I did try DMT and psiloscybin. These experiences were profound.
Further, the risk is almost zero. DMT is anti-addictive. I took it few times, and I don't ever want to repeat it
Yeah, the push to vaccinate children was not for the children, but to protect the old. And what will likely happen now, is a stronger push for forced vaccinations, met by even more entrenching of the anti-vaxx crowd.
It’s interesting how negative all the people who seem not to have done MDMA in this thread are… and how positive the article and those who have experienced it are.
This. In general SLAs function as a tool to hold vendors accountable, so there is no need to keep track day to day as long as the history can be audited.
These days people are more towards getting the product out as soon as possible rather than spending time in designing it. I really dont think it is wrong in anyway if the product is valuable.
LS500 is quite noisy on full brightness (100% 4000 lumens) but almost silent in eco mode (50% brightness). But at 50% I would not call it a tv replacement anymore because the brightness is not great for daytime viewing. Not sure about the LS800.
The problem is not so much the roles themselves, it’s the number of non technical people who are staffing them. If someone has “paid their dues” as a developer, it’s easy to trust their product vision, their roadmap, their design, their architecture, their delegation/organisation and decision making. But if they haven’t, everyone feels uneasy and lacks confidence about the whole project. And the non-technical people themselves know this, and may even admit it - but either way it doesn’t change the night-and-day contrast.

Your screen wasn't always huge.

The original iPhone, and many versions after it, was probably 4 times smaller than the current phone.

Even on the current large iPhone screen the dropdown lists (instead of scroll wheels) are usually a pain to navigate because they are often a much smaller target and don't allow mistakes (you mis-click on an item, you have to open the dropdown again)

I agree on keyboard filtering though.
There are some interesting podcasts about this recorded by the Bloomberg OddLots team. Interviews with the guy who runs https://www.freightwaves.com/ and at least one actual trucker. Lots of other podcasts recently about global issues affecting logistics
I guess it depends on your use case. If you have a basic tool where most of the functionality lives in a single file and which you need to compare to previous versions frequently, I can see how just having incrementing file names could be useful.

I would say that this is a bit of an exception though. Most projects are spread across many files and dependencies, so it would be a huge mess trying to manually version those by renaming files all the time. I also rarely want to compare several different versions of my code side by side, so I prefer having all of the old stuff 'hidden away' in git by default.
Bill Joy, maker of Vi, was rather impressed by Emacs's input model in fact:

> I think one of the interesting things is that vi is really a mode-based editor. I think as mode-based editors go, it pretty good. One of the good things about EMACS, though, is its programmability and the modelessness. Those are two ideas which never occurred to me.

https://web.archive.org/web/20060701083055/http://web.cecs.p...

I am used to Emacs's parallel universe of keyboard shortcuts now, but I think you could make a good Emacs using standard Windows keybinds.
He seems to have made some typos in the readme, because some sentences end with a period instead of an exclamation mark!
No, that's what happens when conspiracy theories instill fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Python 2 used the backtick for repr. I had almost forgotten this.

Python people also testified about all the book typesetting issues with this, and other reasons, and said backtick would never again have a use in Python.
> But they don't have to be. When people start thinking of structure-editing, they immediately jump to the "how do we do C++".

What does that mean?

> start with structuralizing the {} brackets. That's a semantic unit.

So, vim.

Getting simple structure done is not the problem. We have them everywhere and everyone can build their own tools in proper environments. Supporting the big picture and custom structure is the unsolved problem. The best we get in that realm would be support for XML, Lisp, maybe also JSON and YAML and the likes. But all those are hyper specialized tools, optimized for those specific cases. What we lack is something good which generalize this.

> The gist of it boils down to the fact that you don't need to start at that very complex level,

No, there is, there always is. Because if you start simple, you always end up with the wacky unsatisfying solutions at some point. Nothing scales well to infinity. Micro-managing and macro-managing are different scopes with different solutions. Simple is good for the micro-levels. Complex is good for the macro-parts. Think about the text-editing of advanced text-editors, and the abilities of vim. Advanced text-editors are simple, and not bad. But compared to the complex editing of vim it still cannot be compared.
What do you think about treesitter? https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter

The idea is to sync changes in the text to a tree structure, then have all the structure manipulation functions built on top of it. See the gif here for a visual representation: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground

It's difficult for the soulless to soul-search, and all too many who lead us here are soulless sociopaths. Beyond the loss of confidence from the public, many of my friends who work at the CDC, and have been there their entire careers, have lost faith in both the organization and its leaders. I expect the CDC will experience a lot of brain drain and loss of institutional knowledge now that the rank-and-file have had to confront what has been going on since even before the pandemic. Even worse it that they'll likely be replaced by those who are uncurious true believers that won't question anything, giving the sociopaths in charge even more power.
I assume you mean located very close to the rotation axis rather than at some other latitude? I think it's convenience, because you can certainly do this at other points close to the pole, but it would involve more slewing I guess and it's mechanically simpler because you don't need to do much field rotation. At the pole, you can practically leave the altitude fixed and only move in azimuth to track something.

There are also telescopes in other places that are fixed in place, they stare at some angle and let the Earth's rotation do the work for surveying.
I'm just taking it up a level. I'm guessing the meth user looks at you and says,

"You clearly haven't taken Meth."

If MDMA users claim it's profound, is it really the same in the eyes of a meth user who has done both MDMA and meth? If the meth user can invalidate the experience with his own, then what does it say in general?
wow that sounds wild, im sorry you guys have to deal with such a flawed system :(
Actually yes, sometimes an outsider opinion can be the correct one... that is the very essence of scientific enquiry - to ask questions.

Who am I? Some rando on the Internet, but I correctly assessed that the vaccines wouldn't prevent transmission, carried a non-zero risk of side effects - sometimes extremely serious, that natural immunity would provide far greater protection, that vaccination was unnecessary for children and younger adults, that there would no benefit to lock downs, and that masks were pointless.

We have been proven correct about every single one of these things, and every health official who promoted these ideas has been proven completely incorrect
Amy Winehouse was a habitual user of heroin and crack, and a heavy drinker.

This seems to me somewhat different.
Nope. One of the girl even confessed she wasn't doing mdma because 1°) it induced a depressive episode that lasted for a year. 2°) Had to wear a dental tray at night because of bruxism (=teeth grinding).

I have a friend who does mdma regularly (like once every 3 months). Suffers from bruxism too. When he goes to the dentist, he can tell he's a mdma user.

You're free to waste your health as you wish (also mdma lowers t-cell rate in the blood, they never get back to normal afterwards, a japanese man taking multiple Es a day even died of immunodeficiency). Personally I prefer a good brewage of ipomea heavenly blue or some hawaian baby woodrose.

Edit:
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnptUdyDUKI&t=30m (timelink @ 30mins). It is said mdma is neurotoxic can induce permanent damages and trigger chronic depression.
Scientist: "I think mdma like no other drug has a much higher neurotoxic potential". Then the dubbing voice takes over. Activates subtitles. "MDMA is a special case [among other ego distorting drugs]. It is delicate to give recommendation of use for this drug and if somebody asked me my opinion I would say it's best to stay away from it".
Ask HN: Which CI/CD do you use for a monorepo?
I am looking or the simplest (ideally YAML free) CI/CD that uses either Dockerfiles, worse YAML files to trigger builds.

I would like to place a file to a folder that has specific instructions how to build the projects.

Example:

- repo/backend/api

- repo/frontend/www

- repo/frontend/app

I would like to have 3 files that define how each folder builds. Api might be Python and deployed to arm64, www is static html, css, etc. deployed to a CDN.

I do not understand why the major CI/CD vendors have a convoluted YAML hell with custom images and commands when we have Docker for 10 years. In last 10 years non-of the CI/CD vendors I know of created a platform where I can use a Dockerfile that references a public or private image that I can use to build my project. At this stage I am only AWS Codebuild that allows the use of Docker image from ECR but I still need to do YAML.

Is there a company that has a super simple CI/CD that would be 5 minutes to set up?

We have wasted couple of weeks on CircleCI and whenever we need to change it is a major pain and it takes hours to find out which YAML line has an incorrect indentation or why a certain tool breaks when used on a "orb".

I am just getting tired of these.
I feel you. I am good at making software, I love doing it, but I dislike all the cooperate bullshit around it.

What really gave me back the love to programming, building and even some corporate bullshit was doing my own things. Just solve a small problem, get really good at it and if you get bored just start working on the next thing.

You choose your own tools, your working hours and how big you want to get. My suggestion is to stay small and safe time for new projects :)
