These days, HN is one of the rare things I don't consume using RSS. I installed and liked it instantly. I have been using Materialistic for as long as I can remember trying out HN clients. The only feature I wish it had is being able to collapse a comment tree without collapsing the root comment of the tree. Would make it easier to read comments in a BFS fashion.

I'd also like to point out:

A group of flying kookaburras flap about a body of liquid. In this group, individuals distinguish from distinct sorts. Small, big, colorful or plain, all flap wings as a way to maintain afloat. It's a sight to watch as this group zips, zooms, and turns all around. It's a natural habitat for this flying squad, and you can find it in many spots around our world. This group adds to our natural world's charm and, through its distinct traits, brings a lot of joy to many.

Are you asking specifically about hosting or the code or the architecture etc?

SQLite is an embedded DB in that the contents are all in 1 local file (like an excel file) but you point your code at it and can use it as a sql db.

So I was being kinda tongue in cheek earlier. But for starting out it’s a good choice until you have a ton of scale.
Thanks for this explanation. I'm a newbie runner -- been running for a year-and-a-half.

I'm aiming to break the 2hr mark in my 3rd half-marathon next month. My last half-m in Oct 2022 took 2hr9min. I know, 9 minutes is a lot to shave off :-). I'll first aim to finish healthily.

Your message encourages me to join a pacer. (The last 5KM of a half-m feel endless.)
I suggest you inform yourself about the meaning of that term.
Good for them. Looking superficially at the application they're talking about, it's also possible that a more cloudy implementation of said software would have lowered the costs also on AWS side. Like using lambda functions instead of EC2.
A better rule than goto harmful is gotos should only go lower in the function and should only exit blocks and/or skip over them, never be used to enter them.

I feel like it doesn't matter how it happened, China caused it either by incompetent lab operation or incompetent food hygiene operation.

This has happened multiple times now. And at this point it's predicable, so it's not a matter of debate. So it's time to hold China accountable or at least take some preventative action like limiting direct flights and screening people whole been to China more closely.
Interestingly, many seem to want to project their own opinion upon Dijkstra.

Dijkstra is clearly arguing for a “single entry single exit” style. But modern consensus seem to uphold single entry but accept multiple exits from a block. Break, continue, early returns, exceptions - all are example of multiple exit. These are more constrained than gotos but nevertheless Dijkstras argument applies to them also.

I personally belive early returns can greatly improve readability (when not nested too deep) an that exceptions are typically cleaner than the alternative. But I acknowlede Dijkstra would disagree.
i read the article and had exactly the same thought!

especially the part where the falling cells are being rendered as full cells made me go "waaait a minute, this would look slightly weird in exactly the same way that ONI water does when it falls". Does anyone maybe with ONI modding experience insights on wether that's really how the game implemented liquids? The release date certainly wasn't too far off.

Great writeup and a fun exercise to implement by oneself as a learning project.

Stream of Drunk Thoughts
I am dumb.Thingy thing thing dingy ding ding.
Anyone else feel this way sometimes?
Like how we all care about bits and bytes but not people and bikes?

Why do we all live like this, why don't we all hang out in a coffee shop instead of on blogs i guess we are too far apart too busy and its hard to find people with similar interests near you with similar schedules.
It's actually nice though to talk without needing to be in person its like mailing through post, you have time to think.

This site is Literally epic guys keep it up. But at the same time why don't you loosen up a bit you know like we are all going to be dead why do you have to be so professional all the time? I guess that's just this site specifically. But I think some of you are emotionally unavailable people. Or maybe you are so in touch with reality that this is how humans sound with no ego.
But why can't we be silly sometimes like just say random things for no reason but it feels like it is always like business time here.

Its like striving for perfection through good software design because why ? Solving problems is good i suppose. I don't know i guess people here seem pretty well rounded got some hobbies and all that so it isn't like we are all addicted to coding and shit.

I both hate and love this site is what i'm saying, it represents the hard-worker nerd anti-social side which is just hardwired to finding optimal solutions. but my other social side resents it because it is so meaningless compared to real social connections I have had in life like my childhood friends and my partner. we already have everything we need, what if all these software guys starting building more housing to help out with the crisis happening across the world. There are huge labour shortages but i suppose they should simply pay more to fill the gap?

Why don't we use our brains to not program shitty webdev and Iot devices, but study and model the economy and system and understand exactly why and where the worst issues are happening and tackle those. not a lot of funding for this i guess.

anyways i am dumb have a good day.
Ok I guess I disagree, shit in shit out is in relation to a computer, the programmer of the computer is still hopefully a person and a person should be able to consider the shit inputs and fix them and also they might know if there is something that the designer doesn't.

Under this theory falsehoods programmers believe about addresses doesn't apply either, the business decides the address rules the programmer just applies them. But it's everyone in the process that has believed the falsehoods first propagated by the business, including the programmers.

But I guess nobody had a particular example where that formatting wouldn't hold, excepting potentially vertical scripts as opposed to horizontal.

> At this point the word "engineer" has lost its original meaning. Until there's a formal theory of how we can interact with LLMs and you make use of that in a systematic fashion, "prompt engineering" is really closer to "prompt artist."

Interesting angle. Are you saying there are rarely any "software engineers" out there, that they are all merely "software artists"? Cause none of these uses a formal theory for their craft. If they were then all those highly opinionated discussions of whether to use goto in C or what are the greatest flaws of node.js would just not exist.
CPAP for me was life-changing.

I had sleep apnea when I was young, skinny and sporty.
Then I got old, fat and sedentary and of course it got worse.
I was falling asleep while driving.

I tried a CPAP machine and could not stand it for more than 10 minutes.
However my apnea got worse so that I actually did not want to fall sleep because I did not want to wake up choking and gasping for breath. Literally a nightmare.

So I forced myself to stick with the CPAP the whole night through and woke up refreshed and alert. I cannot live without it.
Or bumbags.
No, that problem is quite simple to solve by designing the laws appropriately. For example, in the German criminal code, the first basic prerequisite for the applicability of the hate speech ban is that it occurs "in a manner suited to causing a disturbance of the public peace", which does not apply when talking about it in legal debates.
> Once it becomes cheap enough to make indistinguishable fake online personas, there will be a flood of commercial, spam, and scam accounts that make it impossible to know who among your online connections is real and who isn’t.

Grandparent programs in Clojure which doesn't use car and cdr.

ANSI Common Lisp has first and rest as synonyms of car and cdr. Books from the middle 1980s on the then emerging Common Lisp already cover this.

It's like you're griping about an issue that was closed before CVS existed, let alone git.

car and cdr still exist because of backward compatibility and because they are good names for when cons cell structure is just arbitrary structure and not a list. The car is not always the first item of a list, and cdr is not always the continuation of a list. These words are deeply entrenched in the Lisp culture. The words have no confusing associations with anything else but the parts of a cons cell. I've not come across any "car" or "cdr" usage in computing anywhere, except Lisp-inspired jokes like in the "Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol". In the telecomm industry, CDR stands for "call detail record", but that's removed from programming language and data structuring.

Knuth defined some binary-cell tree structures in TAOCP. He used the words alink and blink (as in A link, B link). Those words are not bad.

It's good if the parts of a flexible data structure that programs use for representing all kinds of things have names that don't have any confusing associations. When you see those names, you know they are just literally about that structure, and you can see from how those words are used what the shape of the structure is.
> Female sexuality is based on perceiving inward - making oneself attractive, and being turned on by the reaction that it receives from the partner.

> As a result, cis hereto women report feelings that in trans women get called autogynophelia when planning or expecting to meet with a sexual partner, or during sexual encounters.

Women feel that they’re sexy women so men can feel they’re sexy women. This is not a compelling argument.

Exactly what happened to me as well. In my case, I was (fortunately?) messaged by someone from Fly.io after asking around the community forum how to remedy the issue. I think the person I talked to was inferring that the system got tripped because I was using my own domain for my email address.

It's since been corrected, and I still have a handful of services running with them, but getting started with the platform definitely was a rougher experience than I was expecting it to be.
>Well no, that's not true. We also know that his wife was "off put" by him engaging with them.

No being off put was a description about the wife not them. All we know about them is they were conservative.

>And if you re-read my rely, you'll see that I specifically mention her being "off put" 3 different times because that was the main part that I was replying to.

There was no mention of xenophobia/racism/etc that was entirely your introduction.

My guy, racism was your introduction, why did YOU shoehorn it in. Don't get upset you brought up racism and now you have to deal with replies including the subject you roped in.
Thanks for sharing! Sleep is the most important way for our bodies to rest, and I also have stuggled with sleep in the past. Luckily, I was able to effectively improve my sleep through getting some exercise. Your article provides a helpful approach for those who are having difficulty improving their sleep. When all else fails, it's important to consider seeking more professional treatment.

> How do you hire someone for a city's transport agency who has the ability to manage a multi-billion dollar construction project? Anyone with those skills will surely be able to earn 10x more in the private sector.

It seems you could hire them by paying them 10x more than you would usually do. And if it's a multi-billion dollar construction project, that's a rounding error.
> If they like some characters in the book they will often adopt some of the attitudes or behaviors of those characters without even realizing it

I went from a pure Delphi shop to a web/python/c++ shop and felt the same frustration with frontend development.

DevExtreme (DevExpress for web) comes very close to the frontend development experience of Delphi, because it was created by the shop which created the best Delphi component suite.

Currently, we are using DevExtreme with React. All of the components are tied to DataSource which you can map your insert, update, delete calls in order to cause the updates to be rendered, just like it did in Delphi with Data Modules and Data Sources.

Of course you don't get the benefit of data sources working at design-time while working on the web. Delphi was and still is a few decades ahead of whatever we have on the web.
if you have the money, Dr. Kasey Li is the best sleep apnea surgeon in the bay area, possibly the world. He is the protoge of dr Christian Guilleminaul who is the founder of sleep apnea medicine. He does MMA and EASE, both of which solve structural issues if you have narrow airways. He also won't do it unless he thinks it will truly make a difference. One friend went to him for a MMA but he turned him away and referred him to cheaper surgeon as he thought the procedure would only partially help in his case. You are paying a down payment on a house though if you go with him

CAR and CDR have origins in a hardware feature of the IBM 704. But they came into Lisp via Fortran. The list processing in Lisp was closely inspired by FLPL: the Fortran List Programming Language: a system for linked list manipulation done in Fortran. FLPL had functions like XCARF and XCDRF and others. MacCarthy greatly improved the naming by dropping the gratuitous X...F noise. (What had they been thinking?)

Well I can’t speak to most of those, but I can definitely speak to JS: pretty much the only things holding back FP are people’s aversion to reduce and their aversion to grafting monads where they don’t fit. Otherwise it’s pretty much idiomatic to write functional-core code in JS basically everywhere. But again there be dragons at the edges.

It sounds like one of those situations where workers' rights backfire by making it so onerous to hire and fire them that it's safer not too, just in case you end up with a dud, or a role evaporates. It's a tricky balance and I don't claim to know where the sweet spot is in terms of worker's vs. employer's rights, but we may have overshot.

Similarly, I see a problem wrt tenants' rights where it becomes so difficult to evict a tenant that no landlord will take a risk on someone who appears to be even slightly risky. It ends up with hordes of unhoused people at the bottom of the "desirable tenant" spectrum getting bumped onto the street in affluent cities, because no landlord will take a chance on the middle, let alone the bottom. Again, obviously tenants need rights, but it seems like many jurisdictions have overshot the sweet spot.

These things are so complex and have so many facets. I'm not confident that excessive tenants' rights are truly a problem, but I it's possible.

> "components" are "tables"

No, components are columns. Each entity is a row in a table and an archetype (the set of all entities with the same components) is a table.

In ECS it's usual to store components together, this corresponds to columnar storage in database terms (or equivalently, it's as if data were in sixth normal form [0]). However in some systems you can opt to store a more traditional row-based column.

The intensity of my sleep apnea varies from night to night, and you might be similar?

Based on oxygen levels, mine also varies from subclinial to "medium" apnea. I was deemed not to have sleep apnea based on the take-home test or the in-hospital test... but I wore my oxygen-logging ring during the in-hospital test to check it was calibrated to the hospital's equipment (it was), and the specialist then diagnosed me based on my measurements of oxygen levels on other nights.
What stops me from using such platforms is the risk that one day for any reason my account can be suspended and I will have to migrate my apps and data.

Do you have a strategy for that situation? Your old Ansible branch hopefully is still there and compatible with your recent production code changes. And your sqlite DB is replicated to an external storage and your data is reachable even if you have lost control over “your” PaaS account.

I wrote a note in GMail the other day where I needed a Latin phrase. For accuracy I pasted it from the web page where I found the original. It screwed up the “x height” of the text that followed.
