wrote objective c lot in early 2010s. loved the language.

from just reading articles and code sample, swift much faster and easier to write. i would still like to write objective c but feel swift easier to teach to new programmer.

if goal to have anyone become programmer and anyone can write iOS app submit to apple store then swift less intimidating than objective c. feel like right choice.
Absolutely. Almost every group of symbols can be used as an operator, just (as it happens) not a single | because that is reserved for patterns.
>Just trust the latest collective consensus of psychologists and doctors, and encourage others to do the same. They're paid to know about this stuff and to onboard the enormous risk you are with your prescriptions in this thread.

That's interesting, I have the complete opposite position. Doctors and psychologists can give a informed guess at best. What you hear will vary wildly by the person you select.

I don't think it is practical to put the risk or responsibility on them. Ultimately it comes down to the patients and their parents who have to decide what they think is right and live with the consequences, good or bad.
Lots of zaps needed. But I guess if you cut a big enough line (or circle) it’ll do the job.

Not what I suggested, only that once you have billions of dollars, there are better things to do with one's time than obsesses about relatively petty amounts. One can only live for so long and only spend so much, so it simply isn't rational to waste any time whatsoever attempting to increase wealth at such a minuscule amount to what you already have. $132M represents 0.2% of Balmer's $58.3B, and he's that much closer to death for having wasted any time whatsoever for such an absurdly small gain, relatively speaking.

That scale of sabotage wasn’t a casual act. Russia knew Europe was going to shut down its imports anyway, so perhaps it was a threat, but one that didn’t involve casus belli.

Russia was the only country that could do that without risk of widening the war.

I’m not saying they did do it, but I see no reason for everyone to insist it’s obviously false.

Honestly, I've been watching this unfold since 2012 and the point where we are now is pretty bleak. Unless something intervenes to change the course of where things are going, we're headed for a bad place. It's bleak to the point where experts on both sides (Chinese and US) seem resigned to conflict.

As a designer, what I’d like more is to be presented with a varied range of generated designs and components for each prompt. I’m more interested in being inspired by a multitude of approaches so that I can design an interface that suits my specific needs.

Perhaps you can present a few options with the ability to select / upvote preferred traits of each, then use that to generate subsequent designs.

You should also capture / generate brand guidelines upfront to ensure designs are consistent.

Yup - I agree. I think we'd get along just fine :)

It can be nice to generate release notes from the commits in the merge between the latest release and master, but you can honestly get the same info in a variety of ways (and depending on the team - it may be particularly noisy)

Basically - I think as long as tagging is happening somewhere, and that tag reflects the actual code released, I don't really have a strong preference on the branching around the process. Sort of an implementation detail that doesn't matter that much.
Can it adapt one design to the user's demands? If not, this is just a fancy search engine
(Also 36) It might not be my very first experience, but I remember computers in the school library being "locked down" such that you couldn't directly launch IE. But you could open Word and File - Open... "http://yahoo.com" (or whatever) which would launch IE. So at least some of my clearest early Internet memories are circumventing access controls.

I missed the AOL train, but I remember my cousins being into it when I'd visit them in "the city" (the also had cable television). I don't think we had a computer at my dad's house until Windows Me when I was nearing high school age.

Execs: We need to implement ChatGPT functionality into Google search to stay relevant and protect our moat!

Engineers: Okay, we have LaMDA which is a more powerful language model, we'll implement it.

Execs: Great, what are the risks?

Engineers: Well each search is going to cost 5x more compute power, and may reduce the amount of clicks to ads and search results since we're answering all their questions directly.

This is great, we need more of this sort of thing. Huge kudos for making it and documenting it. I will definitely be taking it for a spin.

Anecdata: I never ever do this. The marginal savings isn't worth the mental space it would take to plan that sort of thing. To me it's all about the availability and the immediacy, so I fill up with premium any time it's convenient and don't even look at the price.

I regularly have 10+ hour driving days and don't want to have to wait around even at superchargers. I'm open to the idea EVs, but only once they can fit into my needs instead of curbing my needs for the sake of EVs.
I'm not experienced in the field of UX, but they're using the word "complex" in such a way that is off-putting to me. I don't want a complex design; I want a simple, intuitive design. And in fact I would think simplicity is the hallmark of good design.
That seems utterly irrelevant. Trying to benefit is irrelevant. Trying to steal is what is relevant.

Stuck in traffic I often wondered why downtown Seattle is in the worst spot possible on the east side of Puget Sound. For a small town it's a fine spot, for a major metropolitan area it's right at the chokepoint of a narrow north-south corridor.

That may be one of the reasons. If you're in Kent and you want to sell strawberries to Everett you basically have to go through Seattle. The other is that Seattle originally was going to be founded in West Seattle, but the weather was so bad they moved off the peninsula but in the lee of it. The Port of Seattle is built into a river delta that was probably only traversible in the mid 1900's so just moving to the lee side would have not helped with access.

But here we are 150 years later with a city built like a corset.
My problems with Apple Mail are twofold, and both happened in the last five years.

1. They changed the tabular UI in Mail such that the columns were no longer directly manipulable. For a while they had a setting that allowed you to continue to use the old UI, but that switch is now gone. The new UI is decidedly less functional for me. It reeks of "product manager urination syndrome" where a PM makes his mark by pissing on a good product and ruining it.

2. They introduced a bug that caused data loss on the IMAP server. An email client that destroys data on the server is a dealbreaker for me. I get the impression this has since been fixed, but Apple lost my trust with this one. I switched to Thunderbird.

As for Outlook, you expressed the issues better than I could.
the client i'm working with right now uses ColdFusion extensively.

Fair enough.

Certainly the fact that I would have needed to commute to a job that was an hour outside the nearest major city (where I went undergrad) influenced the fact that I just went to live near my office when I graduated grad school. It was mostly the same with my classmates who also worked way out in the burbs/exurbs.

If the commute weren't a factor, I'd probably have at least considered living in the city--at least while I was still renting. (Of course, urban prices weren't nearly as relatively high as they are today.)

In your comment, you say "it means the US is trying to rile up / ready /etc" the population. That's not the only plausible (or even most likely) scenario though.

The publishing of this info could indeed be for that purpose. Or it could be for something else, such as to influence the currently-ongoing negotiations with other players (eg European) at a critical time.

Or it could be for some other purpose again, that's neither of those. :)

The real question is who wants to use Tik Tok that badly and if it is even health to want to do so.
I understand the concerns, but I think you’re assuming that we are frozen in time. I think this is a brief moment where text is either AI generated or not.

In a year or two, leveling content as AI assisted would be like labeling something “electricity assisted” today; you’d just label everything (California prop 65 style).

Everything will have some level of AI involved. I mean even today we have spell checkers and grammar checkers and automatic summarizations that tons of people use. The gradient from that to text expansion and whole document creation is going to be blurry and gradual.

With you on pre-AI and post-AI epochs. It will be sort of like the way the internet itself caused pre-security and post-security epochs, and we’re still dealing with that.

But I think it’s great. Yes, we have to grow up. Yes, our tools have to get better. But just like the internet’s benefits far outweigh the security pain, I feel pretty good about AI cost/benefit ratios.

Seattle proper has no proper/modern roundabouts.

It has hundreds of traffic calming circles which are often confused with roundabouts, but are not in the same class. Roundabouts have dividers at each entry/exit point which are lacking in neighborhood traffic calming circles.

https://wsdot.wa.gov/travel/traffic-safety-methods/roundabou...

Technically you can go any way around a traffic calming circle you want to, because they are too small to accommodate delivery trucks going counterclockwise. It is highly recommended to go counterclockwise if you can, but not legally required. They have no more legal significance than a speed bump.
What say you older HNers, is this what it was like?

The Cold War was a lot scarier than what we have now. In the back of your mind, every day you thought that today could be the day we all get wiped out.

I'm not too worried about Russia or China starting anything nuclear these days. Russia invade Scandinavia? Sure. China invade Taiwan? Absolutely. But I'm not worried that they'll nuke someone else from a distance.
I went to a Catholic school growing up, my parents weren't religious and I largely had no relationship to the faith but one thing that always fascinated me growing up was the old, imposing Gothic church that the students celebrated mass in, which as a kid always was a little bit scary to me.

This church with death on display reminds me of that and to me what's always been striking is that there's almost a pagan or occult undercurrent in Catholicism. I think Midnight Mass, a great show btw, captures this as well. Trying to show how much of an actual blood ritual the Catholic Eucharist is. (in Catholicism bread and wine are taken to be transformed into literally(!), not figuratively the blood and body of Christ).

Also wherever Catholicism mixes with folk traditions this is visible, with figures like Santa Muerte in Latin America. And while the Catholic church usually distances itself from this, it's always interesting how easily these traditions blend.

Does your country not have recycling centers?

Over here every municipality has a center where you can just hand in any domestic waste unsuitable for the trash can. It's a bit inconvenient because you have to go out of your way, but it is definitely quite doable.

And electronics can be handed in at any store which sells electronics, which includes stores like the equivalent of Walmart or Home Depot. You'll be going there anyways, so it's literally zero extra effort.

As someone leaving Austin after 10 years, one limiting factor to growth here is water. All of the municipal water for the metro area comes from Lake Travis. There's a hard limit to how much growth the city can support even if infrastructure and housing was prioritized.

After seeing how quickly Midjourney and Stable Diffusion improved, I figured it wasn't long before we'd see AI interface work.

Can this create a similar set of screens based on a single previous prompt? Back in December I experimented illustrating a children's book with Midjourney. The most difficult part was getting a consistent character. Eventually I gave up and had images where his face was obscured, or not showing. There are more constraints in UI design than in character design—so it seems like that might be possible. If so, this would be a lot more interesting.

"Not maneuverable" and "previous balloon" so is it fair to assume that it's a balloon as well?
I think I get it. You really don't want to shift your mind to the browser. Your mind is in the server, you know what's up in there, and distributed systems are complicated, so one of the ends should be made as dumb as possible. I get it.

Except, guess where the mind of the user is? On the other side of the browser. Embrace the browser, server people, it's closer to the user!

No such dependency exists. The only rational reason to spray a crop with RoundUp is that you know you've sowed RoundUp Ready seeds; in any other circumstance you'd simply be killing your crop off. If you contrive a counterfactual where that's not the case, then obviously different fact patterns matter. It's like saying "well, sure, he shot the guy, but consider an alternate universe where shooting someone with a gun doesn't hurt them but instead immediately brings them to their recommended daily allowance of thiamine".

The claim that Monsanto sues people for accidentally or unwillingly having their patented seeds sown is simply false, full stop.

It's neat when writing assembler e.g. add a scaled byte value to the PC to implement a jump table or perform a scaled and indexed load to the PC. In ARM it also produced a neat short and fast function prologue/epilogue. In my opinion the worst problem causes are the 1001 and one special cases it adds in an optimised out of order implementation. The Thumb interworking makes it more worse, but is useful to increase code density in ARM v6-M and can even increase performance (per clock) of ARM v7-M cores. I don't expect it causes too much problems in single-issue in-order implementations like the Cortex M3 and M4. I would like to know how much design time and core area is spend on this in the M7 and M85 cores.

ESI is awesome and really connects "let's just cache it" with "but what if this tiny detail in the footer changes and we'll spent hours refreshing the cache". I would've loved to do more with it, but we added a lot more optimization that need to happen before the cache and require access to the whole page, so now I do a poor man's ESI transparently caching all kinds of widgets and shortcodes (Frankenstein's WP).

I guess one could potentially have tiered caches with an optimization layer in the middle and ESI on the backend-facing cache, but that feels extreme and more brittle.
Why is "if you gambled but we found out you weren't allowed to gamble, we'll take back your winnings but not give back your losses" legal? Shouldn't it have to be either "we'll reset everything back to before you gambled" or "everything you already did stands; you just can't do anymore (and are probably in trouble)"?
