I'm sometimes responsible for comparing and choosing a service we gonna implement in a software we develop (let's say an API to do something). Top reasons why I reject a prospective service includes "contact sales" pricing, API documentation not being public or not in English and no EU data residency nor EU hosting provider.

Sure, if I eliminate other choices for this thing and you're the only one left I'm gonna ask a non-technical person in my company to cut through the bullshit and contact sales, to get me what I want, but otherwise, if there are other good choices, you are gonna miss my business.

That again relates to social support structures. In fact, many kids' parents can't afford breakfast or even lunch.

> For the other layers one can front-end IRC with TheLounge [1][2] or Convos [3][4]. TheLounge only persists history in private mode meaning that users are created in that front-end and chat messages are in Redis. For small networks or groups of friends this is probably fine.

At that point you've just reimplemented a less-standard version of matrix with extra steps though. Your protocol has become heavyweight and non-standard (you could argue it degrades gracefully to IRC, but in practice using your enhanced server from an unenhanced client will always be painful), you're holding state on the server in the same way you were worried about (and without the mitigation of E2EE)...

Have you watched the movie "Eighth Grade"[1]? To me it seemed like a pretty insightful look into adolescence in the presence of social media and smart phones. However, not being a teenage girl myself nor having any kids I'm not sure how true to life it is.

I’ll take your word for it, I used to do this commute from a different city on the peninsula and at the time I seemed to recall Baby Bullet stopping in Sunnyvale, but I am not certain. I know things have changed a lot due to the construction and such.

The staggering works best for the return from school. There are 2-3 hours at the end of the day where school is out but mom's not home yet, and having the high schooler finished by the time the 3rd grader is out means they can fill in that gap.

Hard disagree. If a user submits a paper, chances are it's because they're interested in it. I'm interested in this precisely because I might find myself reading about something in a topic I know nothing about that's interesting to somebody.
Because a guidance counselor doing a good job is really boring, they ask you where you want to go to school, get you links to those applications, and maybe walk you through the application/point you to a campus resource that'll proofread your essays before you submit them. None of these are particularly note worthy, no one's going to go home and write about that experience, so you don't hear about it. That's what my counselor did, they got me fee waivers too so I didn't have to pay a cent for any of my applications, it's just not something I raced to write about, like I would've if they told me I shouldn't go to college and then I did well or something.

> Lots of research shows that the happiest people in the country are conservative women

If you are a woman in a country that is increasingly oppressing women, it seems it goes without saying that the women most at peace with that state of affairs are the women supportive of that oppression. I'm sure this is as true of the USA as it is of Iran.
And yet there are charts of just how much of either were done via gun courtesy of the FBI and other crime statistics logging entities in the US.

It's pretty clear we have a gun problem and for a long time.
Probably a lot of the same emotional manipulation that goes into spycraft? IDK all I know about spycraft comes from novels.

Hey we see your true potential, we know your exec team and we can help shape the company so you and the company succeed together. And we can coach you so that you know how and when and who to deliver your message to when the time is right.

It worked both ways. Revolving door with clients was absolutely encouraged wherever it wasn't forbidden by law or regulation. Implicitly as an employee in good standing it felt like this was a standing offer should you decide to switch to an industry role, and I saw it often.

I know someone else has said there's not too much whitespace, but I disagree. Comparing HN to this, I'm seeing 9 links per page compared to 26 for HN. Even Reddit fits 10 per page, and that's with thumbnails. It goes up to 18 with compact view. It needs much more content. Love the concept, but the UI leaves a lot to be desired in my eyes.
They have a strong tendency to steer high-performing students from lower-income families away from prestigious schools, despite the fact that those are often cheaper with scholarships.
Indeed!

Lots and lots of the services such as mine have no revenue to pay with, never mind the dev time to go chasing wild geese!

In fact, I wonder if some people turned their services off preemptively, to avoid filling their logs with errors. I wrote a tweet kill switch into my code, to strip out all the support cleanly. I was tempted to throw it, but waited.
"What do you want to do with your life"

Me: "I dunno"

"Ok, back to class"
Weird. My guidance councillor did the same. Well, I wasn’t accepted to a school at the point in which they encouraged me to settle for less, but it was a very heartfelt “don’t even try”.

I left the room very confused and upset. Went in with ambition and excitement about my future and left feeling like I must be a complete idiot.

I remember her saying “Let’s focus on being realistic. You aren’t actually going to do this. You won’t accomplish any of this”.

Like you I was diagnosed with ADD, though long after this. I was inattentive, but succeeding wildly in technology classes and even went to some programming and animation “competitions” which I managed to win. She still told me to set my sights low and aim for trades or something.

For what it’s worth I managed to trick everyone else into letting me become a programmer and I did well despite the advice. It still haunts me to think that kids are getting slapped in the self esteem with advice from people like that; people who are supposed to give them objective, constructive, actionable advice in order to begin setting up their academic and professional futures.

I’d add though that unlike you, my diet more or less went the opposite direction and I feel much better too. I went completely plant-based with an emphasis on whole foods and as far as I can tell my entire body works better. I’m not saying you’re wrong because I absolutely believe you and agree that we were probably just extremely unhealthy before. Maybe any healthier diet would have sufficed. But yeah, this thing seems extremely variable from person to person. Plant based with heaps of carbs might annihilate your brain, but a bowl of barley with steamed tofu, broccoli, carrots, and peanut sauce is like heavenly brain food for me.

Exercise was the other missing link. The more I exercise the better I feel. I’m like a dog that needs to be taken or runs and swims. When my owner forgets I turn into a needy, whining, anxious, lethargic little beast of a human.
> As an adult, I eat no carbs, all meat and vegetables

This is contradictory. Vegetables are high in carbohydrates as a percentage of their calories.

Link to the actual implementation: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils

I love these re-implementations of things. Technology advances by the continued reinvention of the wheel, and even if some efforts end up being of merely didactic interest, it is still important to make them. Coreutils is one of the pillars of our civilization, and thus it should be re-implemented several times on many programming languages.

Looking at the source code, it is impressive that this re-implementation is essentially complete! Look at this: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/tree/main/src/uu It's only missing some obscure and fringe things.

An important feature of GNU coreutils is, somewhat sadly, not reproduced by this re-implementation: the copyleft license of the original implementation. This takes out some freedom of the users. For example, when I use GNU "ls", I know that I can always look at its source code and change it to my whim (or hire a programmer to change it for me). However, if I use uutils "ls", this is not necessarily the case, for it may be a re-distribution by some middle-men that has modified it slightly and does not provide the source code. I suppose that the removal of this freedom is accidental, because it was a nice thing.
> Why are you blaming the parents?

Because when Boston tried this, uproar from parents was sufficient to cause meaningful change, but that uproar was directed at their schools and not their workplaces. They used their collective power to defend their work schedules at the expense of their children.

Why not insist on more flexibility in their work schedules, or for additional transportation solutions to assist in getting teens to/from schools? Is this really an insurmountable problem?
Gun violence is hardly rampant in the US. The violence is heavily concentrated in a few neighborhood of a few cities. We should absolutely do more to reduce violence in those areas, but the vast majority of teen girls have never seen a gun fired outside of a shooting range or hunting preserve. My city has zero shootings most years.

I imagine this "UTF-16 code unit indexing" decision is just an artifact of the fact that that's how JavaScript works with strings, and LSP comes from VSCode.
I 100% agree. I'm unfortunately not an expert in the field but over the years I've seen "studies" that are very flawed or impossible to replicate. I'm all for some experiments for those willing... perhaps it would overall increase the amount of sleep students get... but for some I feel it would completely wreck their schedules.

This is anecdotal but when I went to live with my grandparents for a summer, I hated every minute of it. They lived on a farm with no wifi. By the last week or two though, I realized I sorta enjoyed it. I was out like a light by 10 pm every day. I was getting more exercise etc. I had no reliable reason to stay up past 10 pm and my body seemed to adjust to what felt natural.

As an adult, I can say that if school started later, I would have just stayed up later. There was even a time in college that I would stay up till 4-5 am. Sometimes you would know a snow day the night before and I would tell my friends on the west coast that I could stay up even later. It was awful but I couldn't see it at the time. It took me years to fix. I now sleep around 1 AM which I still wish I could sleep earlier but I'll take it.
I am not sure it’s necessarily bad advice in this case—community college or trade school route—I would consider that pretty good general advice for an underperforming but intelligent teen. However, I do know firsthand from an experience involving my son’s guidance counselor providing remarkably bad advice that at times the guidance isn’t beneficial to the teen, but more to the school.

>We are just dumping a hundred lines of instructions to the AI and it amazingly does manage to execute the majority of them most of the time.

How has this been validated with Sydney?
This isn’t really a conclusion backed by what we know. You don’t traumatize people by telling them they have been traumatized. That’s just not how trauma works. Trauma happens to people regardless of whether or not they believe they’re traumatized: this is how we can study that beating your kids results in statistically worse outcomes even though I’m sure the parents told the kids multiple times that their beatings were justified and not traumatic.

If anything maybe these statistics are so alarming is because we as a society didn’t categorize abuse as abuse until recently. Consider that raping one’s wife was legal until recently. Beating children was considered normal until a generation or so ago. Trying to force gay people to convert to straight was the medically condoned treatment. All sorts of abhorrent behaviors were normalized and people simply denied the harm it was causing.
There's also a nonzero risk to health while commuting. It seems like for every big snowstorm there is at least one multicar pileup with injuries or worse thanks to people having to commute when its unsafe. I bet if you limited travel during snowstorms to emergency related jobs only, pileups would be a thing of the past because there just would never be enough cars sliding in one place to even pileup.
a site I would be interested in is: “papers a hacker would be interested in” (aka papers you could nerdsnipe someone with) which is unfortunately not what this website seems to be.
Yeah I mean the guidance counselor is at best a failed therapist so why would you expect good advice
In 2018 "obesity prevalence was [...] 21.2% among 12- to 19-year-olds." [0] according to the CDC. That's one out of 5 being obese, not just overweight. And it has more than tripled since the 70's [1]. I have to wonder if it's related.

Clojure is associated with the JVM platform, Java and Scala and Kotlin end user open source apps are also underrepresented relative to dev population. There are lots of OS Clojure projects but they are mostly tooling, libs, databases, etc. There are a lot of business and data stuff most of which isn't open source.

Come to think of it are there many TypeScript open source apps either?

To me its an indicator of a dying business. For all the hate they get, the only movies worth seeing are ${big budget} movies anyway because why pay $20 to watch 30 minutes of ads which are on youtube, to see some dark quiet oscar candidate, while I can't pause or go to the bathroom for hours after paying $10 for pepsi?

If I'm paying and leaving my couch it has to be for an experience I can't get. This is just abuse masquerading as profit maximization.

While that's decent, I would wish for something more like, "A boy and his dog" type AI. Having an "invisible friend" that you can speak with and see, who knows everything, is a perfect confidant, who grows with you through life until you are ready to set them down, possibly as a rite of passage into adulthood.

And even then, you could keep in in your computer or phone, be able to talk to it and discuss problems with an intelligence that knows your life almost as closely as you do, but not carrying it with you all of the time.

IDK, I think that would be pretty cool even if the idea of robot nanny scares the pants off of some people.

I wonder how the experience would have went if we were in on the design of it all.

Who is “they”, and why do you presume “they” pushed for women being able to work because it would benefit families?

I want women to be able to work because I want the women in my life to not be caught under the thumb of an abuser. If it harms families somehow, that is a separate problem, with separate solutions that do not have anything to do with restricting the independence of women.

most people against regulation are not against it because they think fewer rules is inherently better. this is a strawman. the strongest argument against regulation is that bad regulation can make a situation worse. the government preventing a strike is a bad regulation.

Pet peeve of mine: some older adults are proud that they get up early. And that’s OK in isolation. The problem though is that older adults rule society moreso than younger adults, and certainly compared to teenagers. So for many older adults it feels natural to go to bed early and to get up early. But then we as a society confuse that with universal “good behavior”/good character, so everyone has to dance to that tune.[1] And we do get up to things so that we aren’t expelled from school or fired from our jobs. But some of us do it at the cost of our health and well-being.

[1] Or maybe the cause of our early starts is completely different. It’s not like I have any proof.
Why do you think this was stupid advice? More than a few "normal" kids go off to college and crash and burn or otherwise fail spectacularly because they aren't prepared to be on their own. It sounds totally reasonable to suggest that a kid struggling with issues like the GP might consider community college so they can stay around family support structures, continue seeing the same doctors or therapists, etc.
