Interesting timing, wouldn't think it's optimal given macro conditions, but perhaps they don't want to wait however long it'll take to get back to the frothy markets
Dead as personal computing company, AI products - bad, blockchain - garbage. It exist as a consulting firm that engages in what I would call shady practises. Everytime I see an article about government contract and IBM it is always portraits IBM in very negative light. So yes, billions of profits which is basically siphoning public tax money to shareholders (well Accenture and Deloitte are not better).
> That seems absurd. I've worked at big companies. They sometimes have staff, often _lots_ of staff, like whole orgs, that are a net drain on the company. What's the alternative in that situation?

Well, the evidence is that mass layoffs aren't having the result of being very positive for companies that engage in them.

Given that what you say also feels true, in my experience, an explanation immediately suggests itself:

Big companies rarely if ever manage to mass lay off only unproductive staff, or net-drain internal orgs. Rather, they're almost always implemented as an across-board X% haircut for most departments with little targeting whatsoever. So in the end, they don't solve the problem you're identifying, and that's why the evidence says they end up doing nothing positive for the company.
I don't know how common it is to specifically deny it, but plenty of early stage startups consider themselves to be in a "growth stage" where it doesn't make sense to talk about the path to profitability.

Norway is the pilot country for EVs. Their adoption rates have always led the world. Again, this is due to their peculiar wealth ( they have so much money that they can destroy their economy if they spend it domestically), and public policy that supports this end.
Uh, yeah... The post opens with a mention of being inspired by OpenBSD and goes into some detail on differences between their approach and OpenBSD's throughout.
I can't imagine this passing code review on any project I've worked on.
1. Laravel.

Because:

- Battle proven

- Secure

- Well maintained

- Well documented

- Fully featured (a lot more than others such as Django or Rails. Jobs, auth, asset manager, etc out of the box)

- Doesn't hate JavaScript, embraces it (hello Rails!).

- The templating system, Blade, is pretty great...you can even do components.

- Opinionated and not that many different ways to do the same thing, makes things more consistent

- Performance is good enough for 99.9% of use cases. For the other 0.01% add Octane.

- Great, friendly and professional community. Top high quality packages with lots of users and well maintained.

- Excellent frontend integration packages in case blade is not your thing: Inertia, Livewire, Hotwire, etc.

- Lots of people know it and like it, so easy to hire for too.

- Code organization makes a lot of sense to me (hello Django!)
By that argument, Python is "native" too then, with e.g. https://github.com/exaloop/codon

The reason why it doesn't quite work out is that typically such a thing, AOT-compiled into native code, still carries with it its limitations and assumptions. It's technically native, but experiencing the native APIs only through a narrow peephole in
the fence.

If we let this meaning of "native" take over, we're gonna need another word for actually native things.

Sometimes, that works well enough, though!
My current hypothesis is that although the average salary and living conditions for men and women are becoming more equal, individual conditions are still not equal. The issue is that we are not dealing with just two groups (men and women) as some may suggest, but rather three: underperforming men, overperforming men, and women. This theory makes sense mathematically and historically, and there is a lot of evidence to support it. The equalization of salaries is in the interest of the women's group, and even if the average is achieved, the overperforming men's group could still have better living conditions and higher salaries by colectively punishing underperforming men.
People's revealed very strong preference is to not live near poor people. As long as the only legal and socially acceptable method of satisfying this preference is high house prices you will consistently see overwhelming voter support for high house prices.
It also impacts the pilots (they don’t have their own pressurized area, it’s the same), but the pilots have more oxygen. Which is a really good thing 99.999% of the time.
Show HN: I'm a doctor and made a responsive breathing app for stress and anxiety
Hey HN! Some more info: I’m an NHS doctor and the founder of Pi-A (https://www.pi-a.io) which developed Lungy (https://www.lungy.app). Lungy is an app (iOS only for now) that responds to breathing in real-time and was designed to make breathing exercises more engaging and beneficial to do. It hopefully has many aspects of interest to the HN community – real-time fluid, cloth and soft body sims running on the phone’s GPU.

My background is as a junior surgical trainee and I started building Lungy in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in London. During COVID, there were huge numbers of patients coming off ventilators and they are often given breathing exercises on a worksheet and disposable plastic devices called incentive spirometers to encourage deep breathing. This is intended to prevent chest infections and strengthen breathing muscles that have weakened. I noticed often the incentive spirometer would sit by the bedside, whilst the patient would be on their phone – this was the spark that lead to Lungy!

The visuals are mostly built using Metal, with one or two using SpriteKit. There are 20 to choose from, including boids, cloth sims, fluid sims, a hacky DLA implementation, rigid body + soft body sims. The audio uses AudioKit with a polyphonic synth and a sequencer plays generated notes from a chosen scale (you can mess around with the sequencer and synth in Settings/Create Music).

There are obviously lots of breathing and meditation apps out there, I wanted Lungy to be different - it's about tuning into your surroundings and noticing the world around you, so all the visuals are nature-inspired or have some reference to the physical world. I didn’t like other apps required large downloads and/or a wifi connection, so Lungy’s download size is very small (<50MB), with no geometry, video or audio files.

Lungy is initially a wellness app, but I’d like to develop a medical device version for patients with breathing problems such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) & long COVID. Thanks for reading - would love to hear feedback!
> I didn't have a true batch of friends until college, but now I've lost all of them.

I think losing college friends is inevitable. People get jobs, move, marry, change, etc. Clutching to the friends when life was much simpler might not work now.

The solution would be making more social ties with neighbors, family, acquaintances, hobbyists, etc., and try to find new friendships/relationships within them.
I don't think that a covid-related hiring spree should have affected a company like Confluent. Yeah there were probably many product companies that got more money due to Covid that wanted a managed Kafka solution, but Covid also took down other kind of companies who might have been Confluent's customers.

I think it has more to do with cheap money not being cheap anymore.
Well, the problem is that the defendant has a right to competent representation, and ineffective assistance of counsel fails to fulfill that right.

(Your hypothetical includes a fine, so it isn't clear whether the offense in your hypothetical is one with, shall we say, enhanced sixth amendment protections under Gideon and progeny, or even one involving a criminal offense rather than a simple civil infraction, but...) in many cases lack of a competent attorney is considered structural error, meaning automatic reversal.

In practice, that means that judges (who are trying to prevent their decisions from being overturned) will gently correct defense counsel and guide them toward competence, something that frustrated me when I was a prosecutor but which the system relies upon.

Curious, how would you implement it?
> One possible aid for sexual loneliness might come from online dating apps such as Tinder. In theory, online dating could provide an efficient way to find a partner. However, online dating divides people heavily into winners and losers – perhaps even more so than traditional dating. While women can get attention from thousands of men online in just a few hours, men are lucky if anyone is interested in them

My wife doesn't get it ... I often tell her that if both her and I signed up for a dating app, her inbox would be flooded with messages. Yet, if I were to message hundreds of women, I might get lucky and get a handful of responses. She thinks I'm exaggerating ...
> The radicalization appears to be more on the right

Do you have data to support this? And how do you define 'radicalization'? Remember, there was an entire summer of violence in cities across the US after George Floyd. If by radicalization you mean extreme political views, you'll find that those on the left are less likely to date and socialize with people on the right than vice versa.

A distributed ledger doesn't solve that problem. Just sign the updates to a central database with the ID of the updater. We (people who aren't crypto scammers or scammees) have known how to make audit trails for decades now.
> There's no single cause and no single cure which is why it's so hard.

This is exactly right. I'm at the tail end of a long depressive journey that wasn't caused by self-beliefs, distorted thoughts, trauma, etc. Nearly every depression treatment I sought had zero effect.

My problems came about because I had undiagnosed and unappreciated neurological + genetic conditions that created stacking debuffs that made ordinary SWE jobs tax my executive function and deplete my neurotransmitters, eventually leaving me personally and professionally debilitated.

Because I suffered the symptoms for so long before identifying the causes, neurologically I seemed to have entered a new attractor (in dynamical systems terms). I couldn't recover by just discontinuing what brought me there; my neurology kept gravitating towards the new steady-state. (A good chunk of this is black-box reverse engineering what helped me recover)

I've only gotten better by radically changing my circumstances, identifying a crucial supplement, and undergoing a medical procedure.

The eye-opening part of the journey was understanding that because depression is defined by a set of symptoms, receiving a diagnosis doesn't tell you anything at all about what's wrong with you. It only confirms you have a problem at all.

Legalize prostitution and regulate safety and perhaps incels would build confidence and learn to socialize a bit from paid sexual interactions?

I'm kind of ignorant to the subject of what is the cause of 'sexual loneliness' but I believe the world's oldest profession shouldn't be pushed into the shadows as that causes more problems than it prevents.

Is it?

The model learns concepts from images, not the images itself. It has developed general solutions explaining light, colors, composition, objects and their relation to one another, facial features and too many more concepts to even begin enumerating them.

How is this different from a human studying art, literature, music, etc. to learn concepts and then apply them in creating new pictures, novels or songs?

Django. Modern Python has been phenomenal with its choice of feature additions (f-strings, type annotations v2, structural matching, better timezone support, etc.) and its a language with great mindshare right now.

HTMX has been very promising, I have bumped into one or two bugs with it but there are always simple workarounds due to the sheer surface area of HTTP+HTML.

No, AFAIK there aren't any deals like this.

These are pretty old, and all the companies are upgrading. But no one is upgrading from AMD hardware - basically no companies care if they use proprietary drivers. They want a good price-to-performance ratio, so they use NVIDIA stuff.

Plus, everyone wants CUDA.
Color film and photo paper is made with dyes that fade and shift over time. An inkjet print with pigments will last longer. Only monochrome silver metal film or paper will last indefinitely, and it's the gelatin layer that will last, some substrates including consumer-grade acetate film and most papers will degrade. The best archival format is silver on polyester film. Color can still be achieved by way of three exposures in RGB, similar to Technicolor.
It fails at determining if a number is prime and provides bogus arguments to such effect. You think it would make sense for this to argue complex legal cases with strategy? This isn’t Go or chess.
Every company that mishired.

You don't cut costs if they aren't costs.

If you hired employees to do something and they're making you money hand over fist, you don't fire them. They're not an expense. They're a profit center.

It stings a little, but is ultimately not that bad if you have a very healthy emergency fund. It’s generally much cheaper than housing.
Yeah, but it is their response to the problem that is problematic.
I really think that the ability for games to relax and de-stress is clear (at least from my anecdotal standpoint). This get bonus points for gamifying some meditative and deep breathing techniques.

On the other hand, I always worry about the "escapism" of video games in the way they might provide a safer and more comforting activity than tackling the real problems that lead to the stress and anxiety.

That being said, all this looks great! You should get a video of gameplay (or at least provide some sort of "what games are these" information so that people can explore them without having to download another app. I simply don't know enough about the game to download another app without more information!
WiFi should provide a clock even if you're not connected.
I tend to agree. Query builders are a "cool" solution looking for a problem.

That said, dynamic query building example looks way better in knex than in slonik. Proposed approach has it's benefits, but the code is much harder to read. And it gets exponentially worse with more complicated queries.

The caveat, however, is that dynamic queries themselves are almost an anti-pattern, and should be avoided when possible.
Funny, in our local newspaper there was a letter to the editor today, where an EV driver complained about exactly that and how he has resorted to driving his ICE again because of costs. There were no details mentioned.
There's a difference between sexual loneliness and being an Incel. Incels believe the world owes them sex and they are entitled to it. People suffering from sexual loneliness aren't all incels and to lump together both groups does a disservice to non-incel people that suffer from this.
Some of us aren't "accepting" anything. We're just reading about a potential cause of an incident and speculating about how it could happen to us or could have been prevented.

It's been 2 months and SBF still hasn't done total facial reshaping, neither has he done total arm reshaping, nor has he done total leg reshaping. And also he hasn't died ("concrete shoe reshaping").

This dude's a crank.
>I really get the feeling that many companies are just blindly doing whatever other companies do.

Alternatively, we are in a unique window where cutting underperforming projects whole-cloth can be done with almost no signaling risk (had this happened in 2021, people would assume the worst), so CEO's are cutting everything they don't like now, assuming they won't be able to do it as easily later.
Sendbloop: A Soundboard for Zoom Meetings
We've been using https://bwamp.me for the past year at Stellate to make our larger meetings more engaging. It's essentially a soundboard with some common sounds (e.g. clapping) and some less common sounds (e.g. cow moos) that has added a lot of interactivity to our meetings — in particular for the speaker.

However, the biggest downside of Bwamp is that it's a website that every participant has to open, not a very convenient user experience.

Sendbloop is a reimplementation of Bwamp as a Zoom app right inside Zoom.

Note: I have no affiliation with Sendbloop other than having wanted "Bwamp inside Zoom" for a long time[0] and now being a paying customer.

You likely have to go on a hiring spree and pay large bonuses to stay competitive when others are doing the same. Without the benefit of hindsight it was not obvious that the free money era would end so abruptly. Even the Fed did not expect to raise rates until 2023. It has been about the length of one finance professional's career since the Fed was last forced to hike into a growth slowdown, so few have experienced this environment.

Apple stands out as the contrarian that didn't panic hire. They will probably come out ahead at the end of all this as their reward.

No, he shot the person to death with a live round.

He picked up a loaded revolver, pointed it at another human being, and pulled the trigger. That other human being is now dead as a consequence of his actions. Even if he didn’t know it was loaded, which seems likely, there was no excuse for him pulling the trigger.
