Sure. I would love some help. I am visiting my family all March (I am typing this from the airport), so I don't know how much time I'll have to work on trane for the next month. But maybe that gives you some time to use it, and read the code and docs.

I am not going to put my personal email here, and I don't see an option to send private messages on hn, although it's probably out there somewhere. Probably in the commits, lol. Worst case, feel free to open an issue on the trane repo.

As a first ask, what do you think of this: https://github.com/1Password/typeshare?

I figured writing the UI in rust is probably not a good idea. The ecosystem for UI is very immature and the language itself is probably overkill. But doing it in typescript/html/css requires you to understand the internal data structures (all the JSON files you see in the courses are just serialized rust objects).

I found that repo and it seems like a promising approach to autogenerate the types and make the interaction easier.
Nuance in phrasing. We're in agreement I think. There's context to the phrase, but the poll itself provides no context or further explanations for the question.
For a while, you had to go out of your way to add notelemetry.obj to your linker input to keep Microsoft from adding their telemetry to your program.

I don't think they do that anymore, but it's awfully hard to be certain.
"central government thinks" is the keyword here. That is the whole point of my post.
What other explanation is there for this other than some type of china-USA (or global) conspiracy?

I suppose it’s the threat of TikTok paving the way for non App Store deployments. Reducing power of the app stores.

Or maybe it’s US companies believing they can use permission systems to tame the information flow to TikTok servers.
Some of us find it easier than others ;)

I'm no relation, but it made a nice change to come across "Attack of the Mutant Camels" in the mid 80s as a home computer nerd when the only other Minter anyone had heard of was a boxer.

imo the "echo chamber" scenario would be if you only followed people from your local server, and also set your posts to only show there.

Having only very rarely needed to use vi/vim or emacs, I'd say it does very much matter which editor(s) you learn. If you learned BBEdit, DOS Edit, TeachText, or WordPerfect 1.0 for UNIX, you'll be lost it vi/vim or emacs.

What you'll think you know about "how editors work" will be actively harmful. I've seen and heard of people resorting to pressing the computer's reset switch when they can't figure out how get out of a 'real' textmode editor whose behaviour defies all commonalities. And good luck getting to the man-page if you can't get out of the editor.

When I've needed to use one of those, I fortunately had been provided exact steps or had a 'real user' who could help me. I've had a few goes at the man-pages ages ago (which were not installed on one or two systems!), but paging through them just made 'real' editors seem even more like "not a usable editor" to me. Too dainbramaged by having grown up with 'intuitive' editors that give more affordances.

[Edit: missing word]
I also think it’s ok for a monarchy as opposed to
democracy ruling what gets approved, assuming merit
based is not an option.

I completely agree. What I object to is the charade!

In general merits (rationality?) can bubble up if
it’s framed in correct way for upper levels

Theoretically, yes, but it's trivially easy to fool upper levels with one-sided technical opinions. Choose the name of any technology or tech-related practice at random, pay me $20, and I'll write you a one-sided RFC about why our imaginary company should adopt it. I'll make it sound really good. Your boss will love it and if they don't, I promise their boss will.
Neither Windows nor Linux are walled gardens in any reasonable definition of the term. A “wall” is a barrier constructed to prevent you from passing.

Windows and Linux are just forests or farms, or however you want to expand the analogy. That somebody hasn’t cut a path for you doesn’t make them a walled garden. Different paths have been cut for each operating system, and people familiar with the particular paths on those systems will have an easier time navigating the terrain. But nobody has constructed a wall. A forest is “functionally” walled off only to the extent to which the person doesn’t know how to navigate. This is not a property of the system but the user.
So, according to the nyhistory article, it was known at least by the 1930s that it was pretty harmful, but the dumping continued in to the 40s.
That's tricky, though. It would be a bad idea to learn C++ from my code, even though it works well enough.

And until you're well along the path to guruhood yourself, you won't know if you're reading good code or bad code.

Full democratization/decentralization of engineering decisions is how you get into a quagmire of technical debt that can eventually kill your engineering teams. Some decisions need to be made by a group that is accountable overall to the health of the technical implementation. Like you can't be letting people use 5 different message bus solutions and expect your devops/support people to manage all of them effectively. Someone has to maintain sanity.
The optics chapter(s) within a general physics textbook would usually be a good place to begin without diving too much. My univ used Tipler, but other Univ Physics books would likely just be equally good.

Then after that, as already answered, Hecht to go further while still being within a "101" level.
That's quite debatable. What is clear, though, is that the city's current airport is bursting at the seams.
No-one got bailed out, that is actually part of the problem in the UK. The US cleverly bailed out key firms, let the really troubled ones fail, and had no disruption to growth from financial disorder after 2010.

The UK acquired the same firms, went full ham on regulation, and there has been massive corporate deleveraging because most banks don't really do corporate lending anymore.

However, any firm that did have existing finance relationships was grandfathered in. Rates fell, and so these old inefficient firms have largely survived hoarding both labour and finance (the UK also has a disproportionate number of very unproductive family-owned firms).

The UK is the textbook case of finding the absolute worst thing to do at the worst time. I wouldn't say the issue is necessarily bailouts but regulators (and particularly the BoE) not understanding that the financial cycle plays a role, that bureaucrats shouldn't be intervening into management decisions by banks, that fiddling the price of money has trade-offs...I agree, but the decision to bailout is a product of beliefs that continued to damage after 2010 (and this was far less the case in the US, the bubble in tech stocks/SPACs/etc. demonstrates that the system is still alive...this didn't happen in the UK).
> Haven't been able to get my new prescription yet (ran out yesterday) but other than that, I take 30mg/day dexedrine XR.

Heh, snap. I ran out of my medication yesterday and haven't got my new prescription either. What got me this month was that I only got 28 days worth of pills which is so petty - I don't get 31 days worth on the majority of months that have more than 30 days! But anyway, that aside I'm glad to be in the UK where I get my 108mg/day methylphenidate and 10mg/day Ramipril for a tenner a month.

> I've consistently been recommended ritalin/methylphenidate as something to try, I do plan on trying it at some point but dexedrine helps me so much I don't think I need to go to anything else. I still want to try methylphenidate though to see how it is.

Be aware that you might be underwhelmed when compared to dexedrine, the effects are way less obvious immediatetly - methylphenidate is closer to cocaine chemically than amphetamine in fact. There's an old (2006) book called "Speed, Ecstasy, Ritalin: The Science of Amphetamines" that's pretty interesting if you want more detail.

> Probably~ I was somewhat high for 4-5 days at first but it was actually incredibly distracting because I would do crazy stuff like fall over in the shower because it felt too good for me to focus. That shower was just repaired, I nearly broke it again.

Lol, I've managed to destroy a freezer and my own PC through amphetamine-induced over-zealous housecleaning sessions.

> Always nice hearing someone else's viewpoint~

Likewise! If you've never watched this lecture from a renowned ADHD expert to parents of ADHD children about how it affects them then I found it very illuminating about a lot of the effects of ADHD that aren't so obvious but can have a profound influence upon your life i.e. having aphantasia explains why being told to "imagine this" was always something that frustrated me because I couldn't do it in the way the other person would be able to do - but I didn't know that I couldn't, and neither did they.

My argument in TFA is that going opt-in biases the data so much that it makes the process of building that system a mistake. Of course, under the assumption that it is ethically correct to build such a system in the first place.

The research is based on self-reports from volunteers, so it's not mind-reading.
I don't think the problem is not requiring skills, it's instead the failure to pay for them.

It's fine to hire people 'without skills' provided that you give people an incentive to get them-- i.e. you pay them more if they have skills, and a lot more. If it's well-known that workers with skills command high salaries, then workers will train themselves or acquire the certificates that bring those higher salaries.

Britain's failure is in having bad compensation for workers, and being unwilling to give them incentives to acquire skills.
What differentiates a white person from a white supremacist, is that when a white person says "it's okay to be white", they mean just that. But when a white supremacist says the same thing, they mean "its only okay to be white". That's their whole deal.

If you understand that white supremacists often say this exact phrase to mean exactly that sentiment, you might understand someone asking you "is it okay to be white?" to really be asking "do you agree with this pillar of white supremacist philosophy?" To which "no" is an appropriate response.

Hence the poll is meaningless, because "yes" is the appropriate response if you don't understand the context. In fact "I'm not sure" is the best answer here. End result is, we can interpret the poll any way we want, so if you're interpreting as "avoid all black people" I think that says more about you than the results of the poll says about black people.
C does not guarantee tail call elimination.

But you can do the same with an event loop that cleanly avoids goto.
The thing is that many people today have never encountered the sort of spaghetti code that Dijkstra was talking about in 1968. There's plenty of confusing and messy code around, but true spaghetti code that GOTOs all over the place and is nigh-impossible to follow has been extremely rare for a long time. I can't recall encountering it in the last 30 years.

It easy to misunderstand what he was even talking about because the paper is so short, assumes you know about this context, and has no concrete examples. People quite reasonably assume it's about ugly code they've encountered, but it's actually about ugly code of a completely different kind.

I'm not that old, but I was unlucky enough to have programmed in an unstructured language where GOTO was the only way to use faux-subroutines in my teens. Whatever you think as code that's difficult to follow: it's nothing compared to this.
I wish articles like this would follow up on it 3 years later to see what happened. Things always backslide unless you have a cheerleader for the process until it becomes part of the culture.
There is hopefully a special place in hell for people that do stuff like this. I can sort of see why people fall into computer-based crime, especially in developing nations (e.g., India), but this. It's despicable. Not only can it ruin lives, it can make people hesitate to get help when they need it, which can either lead to more suicides or just plain terrible life outcomes.
Exactly :)

Wow! 197100522! (what i got on my first hit)

Out of all the possible numbers, what are the odds? 1 in a billion! Two consecutive 0's! And two consecutive twos! What do you think they mean? And 5 in between? Well 5 times 2 is 10 which ends in a 0. But it starts with 1971, which is only 1 year off from the start of Unix time, which can't be a coincidence! etc.
There are three models in the second link describing the possible mechanisms, none of them seem all that condensable. E.g. this seems to be at the center of one of their approaches:

> "If we only consider second-order perturbations, involving two atomic sites in addition to O, the interaction cannot be geometrically chiral. So, if the fount is completely isotropic, we need to consider third-order perturbations, involving three distinct atomic sites, in addition to O, to have the possibility of a chiral coupling. Furthermore, it is apparent that the strength of the perturbations associated with each site is proportional to the scalar charges Q, and a third-order perturbation to the mutation rate will be simply proportional to the product of these charges, which is unchanged on inversion. It is only their relative locations that matter."

> "There are several types of third-order perturbation. For example, we can use the first-order displacement due to the first charge to evaluate the electric field due to the second charge along the perturbed trajectory and compute a second-order velocity perturbation to calculate the third-order magnetic displacement at O. Alternatively, we can take the second-order displacement at O and combine this with the electric field due to a third charge to calculate a third-order change in the kinetic energy of the cosmic ray at O. We must then sum over all permutations of charge..."

See also Fig B3:

> "Figure B3. Example of electric chirality (barber pole model). The electric charge distribution of two biopolymers of opposite chirality projected onto a cylinder is shown, together with the unperturbed vs. perturbed trajectory of a magnetically polarized cosmic ray interacting with the molecule."

It's slow to load, and you'll get lag when you move around a bit, and this is due to slow shader compilation, which I wasn't able to avoid with stock Godot 3.5. You can't easily multithread your WebGL application (at least not without a bunch of caveats), so the audio glitches as well. Additionally, streaming a lot of content while providing a good user experience is an extra design and technical challenge compared to downloading a native app.

Every shipping game is a miracle - by doing WebGL instead of native, you are adding a bunch of additional challenges. And for what? Players are just as happy to download a native build.
Lab leak of what even? There is nothing magical about virological labs. They don't create new virus out of nothing. Most of the time there is a "lab leak" the virus already had all the potential it had before. In all the cases I can remember, the only reason the "lab leak" was even a significant event (as opposed to a bucket spilling into the ocean) is when the lab was geographically distinct from the endemic occurrence or the virus had been largely eradicated before.

The main problem with "lab leak hypotheses" is that they aren't clear about what went into that supposed lab and what came out of it. Was there an obscure bat virus? Was there something already infectious to Humans (but somehow undetected by other scientists)? Are we alleging genetic editing? "Gain of Function" (which is easier said then done)? That Sars-CoV-2 genome which first hit Wuhan was already a finely tuned killing machine, much more finely tuned than anything a lab could produce intentionally. All of this makes speculation about the Virus having passed through a laboratory somewhere incredibly pointless, except for trying to undermine scientific consensus.
is 38 easy, im just confused on whole concept of this level, any hints would be appriciated!

Passport's auth integrations often seem unmaintained, and I don't really like that passport sends the response for you on failure (which means it's not easy to modify, say, to make the response body JSON instead of text)

I'm sure Passport is "reasonably" vetted in that it's still the most popular swiss army auth tool in the node.js ecosystem. But I suspect it's not best-in-class for any one type of auth, and auth is really the type of thing you want to be using best-in-class for.

By the way, I'm curious what your process is for code generation.. I'm considering a code-gen solution to a problem right now.
Depends. The chroma subsampling still hurts text even at really high bitrates or in static scenes, and you can see a big difference in 4:4:4 or RGB videos.

I've not thought of trolling in this way, and I've been around since the BBS days. Maybe I missed it, and/or maybe I have a more accurate/common idea. I don't know.

All in all, it is fascinating to see all the definitions of trolling.

Generally, early on, I thought of trolling as an intentional derailment of an on-topic discussion. I also noticed people doing it ironically, which seemed
funny at times, but it became hard to tell the difference around intentions. Over time, I've started to expand the meaning include an intention to cause strife to people. As such, it is not just a waste of time but also an attempt to degrade people.

Generally, I tend to think of trolling as one manifestation of some nasty parts of the human condition.
No I'm not changing my story. You mentioned Elon musk and I said it was a catalyst, not that it was the reason. There's a difference. A catalyst is an accelerant, it's not the source of a reaction. You're removing context by what's convenient for debate. The things you're saying are true but it's not the whole truth. People were unhappy on Twitter before Elon, for the reasons I mentioned. I'll leave it at that.
I just hope one day I am good enough at programming to draw some boxes, tell someone else to figure it out, and then blame them when it doesn't work out

A lot of the replies mention sociopathy, but couldn't this be something else? Maybe you are in the position where you aren't phased by provocations and find it weird how people are so easily negatively influenced. Essentially, when you provoke someone, you indeed put up an easy bait to provoke a reaction out of someone, and if they fall for it, you can assume that the person might not be acting logically or rationally most of their life. After all, how can something so simple enact such rage from someone, they must be crazy if they don't just ignore it, at least get mildly frustrated. Are they the sort of person to yell in the restaurant if someone forgets to put cream in their coffee? It could also be a method to differentiate between the seasoned gamers and those who are new to it. After all, banter and shit-talking was prevalent and you had to adapt to it to remain in that space, and before you knew it, you were part of it.

Well, I agree partly. I'm also on a phone which doesn't receive security updates anymore. I don't know how risky that is. However, it seems clear that longer security updates are much more desirable than increased repairability. Most people won't need to repair their phone, apart from changing the battery after a few years. Especially not when it is a cheap phone anyway, where any repair cost is likely higher than a new phone would be. So a device with longer security updates seems still better than this increased repairability.
