> and Swift

Can’t speak for Rust (but I hear that it is now quite mature -it predates Swift), but I’ve been programming Swift, since the day it was announced. In that time, the language, itself, has matured; possibly to the point that it’s starting to look a bit “Swiss army knife”-like.

I’m not exactly your typical jargonaut. I’ve been writing software since 1983. Been through a lot of changes, paradigms, and just plain old bullshit, in that time. I don’t really go for “shiny,” just because all the kids are into it, these days.
TWM does have an icon manager.
The ability to use source generators in .NET did seem like a really powerful capability when it was first announced.

That said, I have failed to find a practical use case for source generators in my day-to-day work. Reflection is very accessible and we have managed to avoid severe penalties of this on most paths so far.

Has anyone found other good use cases for source generators in their projects?
Over a certain threshold no matter how much time you give a person, they won't be able to perform some tasks.

You can't throw people at the problem nowadays, because there are just too few young persons.

Vacuuming robots are great because while they can't replace a fit person with a vacuum, they can do half as good a job daily and largely without supervision.

I'd take my chances on the Soyuz TBH.

The scrolling direction for some reason is inverted. If I grab the scrollbar and drag it down with a mouse, it drags up. Is this made for an iPad?
But your boss doesn't tell you "You're the best Daddy in the world".. ;). (to be fair , sometimes I also get told I'm the worst Daddy in the world, but less often than I'm the best.. ;) ).
I think people maybe work more either to (a) avoid their share of childcare because in some ways work is "easier". or (b) due to false idea of just how much it costs to raise children and therefore pressure to earn more. (we find kids are happy with a fair % of their toys and clothes being secondhand, and take pleasure in many activities that cost nothing or little)
I was going to recommend passportindex.org as a superior list (from a UX perspective anyway, not sure about accuracy)
Right... so you're talking about mapping an object from your database to a pydantic object.

So you want an ORM, but you want it without a save method? Or presumably with a save method that can only be called under specific circumstances?
Uh not to rain on your analogy but spiders are not insects [1].

Breaking down is also completely indistinguishable from what the Tesla did in this case. The breaks weren’t slammed on either, 7 seconds elapsed between the Tesla indicating for the turn and the collision. It’s very obvious that every participant in the pile up was at least partially at fault. The only confounding factor in this case seems to be that many HN commenters lose a handful of IQ points when any topic relating to Elon Musk comes up.
Needs more contrast, or at least a high contrast theme for light and dark. Yellowish beige on light beige is not easily readable for me.
The most useful thing you could write about / publish would be to educate developers how to harden their apps against such reverse engineering.
I actually prefer the heat pump over radiant heat. My heat pump is placed low on the wall, about a meter or a bit less above the floor, in one side of the living room. Due to the air it's pumping out I get an even nice temperature everywhere, while if I use the wood stove with the heat pump switched off it gets very hot near the stove while it's cold in the other section (around the corner) of the living room, not to mention the kitchen. In practice I end up pouring in wood fuel and let the thing burn to maybe 10kW just to get the warm air seeping into the kitchen, eventually, and then it's too hot elsewhere.
I realize I could set up fans etc, but really - it's so much nicer to use the heat pump and get a uniform heat distribution.
While this is tempting, it falls apart as soon as the development team matures and grows beyond more than a few people. What often happens especially in larger organizations is that bugs and/or changes come up and someone ELSE has to dive in and try to figure out what's going on. It's at this point that dense uncommented code or code that employs every preprocessor trick in the book becomes a huge liability. That "smart" developer just caused an increase in the time it takes to do code maintenance because the poor axe-wielding sap who has to look at it now has to spend a bunch of effort just to figure out what's going on.

Some of you may be thinking, "Then you didn't hire enough smart developers!" (for whatever definition of "smart" we're talking about here). To that I would say, "Maybe not, but I'd rather hire a solid, dependable developer who knows how to write maintainable code over some sort of savant any day of the week."

I've managed a lot of different developer personalities over the years, and the "smartest" ones nearly always produced the worst code for the business overall. In addition, while they were doing this, there were often other quirks that came along for the ride, like 'malicious compliance' with the design, or checking in three features you didn't ask for along with the one that you did. Sometimes it takes some uncomfortable conversations to get these people working with the team, and sometimes it's just impossible. In the latter case, this person just becomes a liability to the team and should probably be encouraged to move on.

The good part is that it is located in an area that is already planned for iron mining (with LOTS of existingt and past iron mining in the greater area), so the infrastructure needed is mostly there already.
I totally agree with this comment. just such a person was the manager of the team I was on. and it wasn't really possible to argue. The only thing he understands from arguing is that he is right in the end. Imagine this happening even in the smallest of arguments.
Creator for humanproved.com here. As we enter the era of getting inundated with AI created content in the internet and wondering how to differentiate AI generated content from human generated content , it came upon me to spin up a captcha protected website that only us i.e humans can access and generate a unique badge(image) for their content. The image is based on the url the user submits and is created by superimposing an unique 16 character string. Also the website allows users to send a query with this unique number to verify that indeed someone has pledged at certain time that content displayed in a particular url is human generated. Due to resource constraint at this time only 5 entries per domain is allowed. However I want to launch a paid plan given enough interest where this limit will be removed or elevated. Thanks for visiting and all comments and feedback are welcome and appreciated.
I don't understand the point of this comment. Are you expressing disbelief, are you making fun the above comment? As a impaired person I find a robot vacuum a great thing.
This should be standard everywhere. If you are in management and you cannot do without a person for a short period of time, you should look at yourself.

But this leads into another issue, everyone wants the same time off. For example, now that it is January, people are rushing to the Vacation Scheduler to take days between Christmas and New Years. During that time, the most critical processing week where I work (Year End), lots of people are away.

That puts mangers in a tough position, because in reality they can not deny vacation time. I really would not last long as a manger where I work, I would tell people no vacations during that period :)
I feel like a product that literally doesn't have an internet connection to begin is probably sufficiently trustworthy? Pity about the rest of the company, of course

This is an important point - that the chance of an alien civ being roughly at our level of technological sophistication is very low. They be either primordial critters (no space travel there) or too cool for the likes of us monkeys.
Yes, the UK doesn't have nationalised dentistry. It's private practices which take money from the NHS. I'm advocating for full nationalisation: dental practices, optometrists, and GP surgeries all being fully run by the NHS, not by private companies/individuals.
One of the problems with a long-running series or show is that at some point potential new viewers (consciously or unconsciously) think there’s too much backstory to watch to understand the latest. Even if the movies are basically standalone; people may just ignore it because they haven’t seen all of them.
It's fun to hear the suppositions behind your questions. I mean, we also say that modern humans have the same mental faculties as humans from 200,000 years ago. Neanderthals or homo sapiens, either way the science says we are no different than "cave men" (who probably did not predominantly live in caves). The whole concept of cave man - both neanderthal and sapiens such - is a sterotype, of course.

I think Neanderthal genes are especially common if you have heritage from between east asia to europe - you share this with a lot of people.
That's the same impression I had. I was afraid I am not getting something or missing a bigger picture. I am glad I am not the only one who feels that way.
Perhaps there were many differences between different Neanderthal individuals as well, i.e. on the order of 3 million genetic differences, just like there are between modern individuals.

Love Lynx and not particularly fond about JS or responsive frameworks.

It often is as I understand it. But it's also helping reduce pollution through electrification so it's a balance. I (being not far from there) feel it's better to have polluting operations like this in heavily regulated and modern economies where there is a good chance the damage can be minimized at least.

College projects were full of these kinds of issues. You'd be part of a group where there's say four of you, one or two are trying to control the direction, the remaining two are looking at each other simply trying to understand what language the first two are speaking.

> wouldn't want working parents to spend time with their kids instead of doing mundane household chores

Whether we experience a net gain in saved time for the more important things is dependent on more than just the straightforward subtraction of chores as they exist now. A lot of factors influence that, so you cannot perform simple extrapolations in that manner because the "system" is dynamic. People didn't have washing machines 100 years ago, but they often had more time than we do or claim to do.

The introduction of a labor saving device introduces consequences. Markets and culture respond to the supposedly liberated time. Automation introduces new costs like the need for maintenance. Social activity and arrangements organized around certain activities evaporate and are replaced with new ones. The medium is the message, so to speak.
It performs worse than baсkprop.
Buy used rather than new. This applies to cars, furniture, electronics, you name it. Not always practical or optimal but a lot of the time, it is. And when you're buying used, you can haggle.

Stop buying into the perception that your computer, and the data on it belongs to the OS author, or the author of the software that is running on it.

It does not. It belongs to you. The person who bought it. It is yours to shove bits through as you please. The industry is just incessant on reserving that level of control over everyone's systems for themselves, and trying to convince you, that no, they really know best, and you should pay them and hand them your data. They'll swear up and down that isn't what they are doing, but their actions say otherwise.

Some of those elements they discovered (e.g. chlorine, silicon) hardly require geographic luck to discover, just a beach. Could it be that Sweden just had some enterprising chemists at the right time, rather than just hand-waving their discoveries away as geographic luck?

I can also see this turning sour, though.

A problem with the mindset being discussed is that it makes it hard for people to collaborate, since everything gets complex and muddled. If you just move that problem from the shipped code to the tooling around the code, you haven't really gotten rid of it. There is still a big barrier to entry to contributing to the project, since people don't understand your infrastructure.
Yeah, no. Reading the paper I don't really see anything but a superficial resemblance to stacking. Hinton was active back when Wolpert introduced stacking and I'm fairly sure he is aware of it. If anything it much more closely resembles his own prior work in Boltzmann machines, unsurprisingly (and which he cites), or even his prior work on capsules. I don't know if this will really pan out into anything that different or useful for the field, but it's unfair and inaccurate to dismiss it as derivative of stacking.

Back before COVID someone griped to me the owners of a shop in Pittsburgh don’t like when folks sit there and “work” all day.

I heard the same gripe when wifi first became ubiquitous back a decadeish ago when I embarked for Palo Alto intending to make it rich in the allegedly glorious California republic.

Flash forward, and when I go down the road later to the rainbow flag festooned shop full of “allies”, I’m going to see not a single startup owner who actually grew up in one of the adjacent townships as I delete my LinkedIn and start making my travel itinerary, funded with the IRA I shouldn’t be selling out if I filled during the summer of Snowden interning for a large browser maker that’s uh… not Google.

I’ve given up on looking for work, since unless you’ll let gentrifiers exploit 412’s relative lack of consumer and rental protections, you’ll be blacklisted by folks who don’t grok that without economic freedom everything else is meaningless.

The problem is the physical place the boxes are arranged matters. It is easy to draw a box and all the relations, it is hard to make the drawing useful.

I once did an automatic creation (dot) of my system - my monitor turned entirely black. I was finally able to see things when I zoomed in to the level that there were 10 boxes on my screen - but the boxes were not related to each other in any meaningful way as the system doesn't have any way to capture box a and c are part of the same subsystem, while box b is part of a different one.
You don't need to count whitespace for nesting:

complicated:

Whitespace nesting also doesn't seem to be a problem for Python programmers. I don't prefer it myself (especially because of the tabs vs spaces problem) but it's not good or bad.

About 3% of rare earth metals mined globally are mined in Europe currently. About 30% of the global supply is used in Europe tho.

That doesn't really indicate how much is available in the ground, but only what's being actively mined.

Someone else wondered about concentrations of rare earth metals in the ground in this finding, and it's "unusually high: 0.18%"

I strongly disagree.

My comment was from my immediate experience parsing what he wrote right there and then. The first one is easy to read and quick to understand, the second on is already like "oh god, now comes a bunch of stuff" and then "okay, he declares that, it's this.. fine" "Okay, he declared this thing and then the other thing is part of that, yeah" and finally "oh, okay he wanted a variable named X with a pair<string, pair<string,string>> geesh fuck just get to the point already!"

Like, seriously, it's like the analogy with the little kid explaining every little thing in excruciating detail, actually managing to make it sound like something is happening while nothing's happening.. Don't talk up this giant thing and tell me what you want to tell me.

I've been programming forever now and have written a lot of C#, TypeScript (/JS) and Python - and I much prefer the approach used in ServiceStack and in Vue.js of putting the "things which belong together" in one file than the alternatives.

You see in C# and Java that people love splitting classes into files (and are forced to by automated auditing tools - my last big project suffered from that, even as Lead I had my hands tied). Navigating such projects is horrible outside of tooling (such as in github) but fine if you always work within the IDE.

In Python I'm used to wading through classes of >1k LOC which are only slightly related because they have the opposite habit. I've yet to find a way to work around this.

Honestly I'm not sure what I find worst: it really depends on the project or the domain. If I had to chose I think that I'd prefer "too many small files" to "one huge file" as the latter has an extremely high risk of turning into a "big ball of mud" and it's what the clueless beginners do. That and trauma of having to maintain some old Visual Basic system where that was the norm.
