> if you talk about a book this book is the primary source and everything else is not

Just to add here - it's a primary source if you're talking about the book and it's discussing a new idea of some sort or events they themselves saw - if it's a history book and you're using the book to understand the events it's describing which the author is interpreting by their having read other sources (e.g. first hand accounts of the event), the books itself isn't a primary source.

Otherwise I agree with what you're saying.
I'm convinced that value has a few directions they want to go down:
1. They are still very excited by VR, additionally, there is no real breakout int he VR gaming space. Yes the Quest 2 is massively popular but Meta is doing their best to run from games on it. Valve is all about games and HL:Alyx is obviously the best VR game ever made. The next Value hardware will be a standalone VR headset. I would guess it has a seperate console portion that hooks onto a waist belt.
2. I wouldn't be surprised to see them do a laptop. The software is ready. Building an affordable SteamOS gaming laptop of their own design would be a successful product. (e.g. under $500)
3. The Steam Deck will absolutely get a successor of sorts. Likely a more mass-market take. That will tie in with Brick and Mortar launch plans.
4. Bonus points: SteamOS is designed around AMD hardware. AMD makes the hardware in the PS5 and XSX. It is not a stretch to consider Valve just diving deep into a $499 non-portable console/PC hybrid with custom silicon by AMD. Hell, even Tesla did it.
The thing I like about “technical debt” that I haven’t seen any other terms capture is that, like financial debt, it is a tool. If you’re building a new feature, there’s often a choice between doing it “right” and doing it “quick”. And it’s not a choice with a correct answer. If it’s important to get the feature to market ASAP, it might make sense to build it quickly even though you’ll have to refactor it in the future!

Calling it “bad code” definitely misses the mark. IMO, it’s code that constrains you from doing things you want to do. Tech debt is almost always code that is tightly coupled to other code, which is why getting rid of it or working in codebases with a lot of it can be difficult.

The key is that (again, like financial debt) you need a plan to pay technical debt down. If there’s too much, you start drowning in it. And not all of it is a choice — sometimes things unexpectedly change and current code becomes a liability. But framing technical debt in architectural decisions as a tool and a choice has helped me understand better how to accomplish business objectives as an engineer.
I didn't realize this was a fork until reading our comments. Makes sense in that context. Your page says this is a new project which is what threw me.
Your short post brings up a lot of potential questions, but I'll just throw 2 of them out there to the void.

1) Why is criticism based on ethnicity off limits? If I expressed that say Scandinavians were repugnant for generally not wanting to feed their house guests, would this be an unconscionable sin? Why should criticizing some group, while still recognizing that its members are individuals and may have their own differing views on feeding guests, be forbidden?

2) Is it possible for bad intentioned people to falsely conflate criticism of some group or even country's politics with racism? In American politics for instance, we all know what sort of name-calling happens to politicians that express a little too harsh opinions on a certain country, right?
If I ask you what time it is and you're not really sure, do you say "It's 1:04:35.023"?

So if you 'said it was a lab leak', but expected people to know you really mean "based on the extremely limited information I have on the situation, it don't feel the possibly of it being a lab leak can not be entirely discounted", then you've communicated poorly.

You've said in this comment that "you thought it likely it was a lab leak". Again, that's not the words of someone with low confidence in their theory.

Then we have to come to your motives in espousing such a theory. What was your point in saying that then and now? Is it that you think the world in general should work towards better lab practices? If so why not say that instead. Why do you want people to know you think it was from a particular lab?

Just saying what you're saying sounds a lot like an anti-China dog-whistle, especially in the environment in which you're saying it.
Lark a Python lexer/parser library
That was the selling point for me. The Steam Deck lives next to my chair in the den so when I want to play a game I'm up in the family room with everyone else. It's super convenient.

We actually have two, one for me and one for my son (though he has a gaming laptop and tends to use that).

I've docked the deck and played games just fine on it as well, no regrets here, I love the thing.
Folks need to be more concerned about code entropy than technical debt, often developers do not know the difference ;-)

The latter does allow progress, the former inhibits it.
I'd be careful with this advice. First of all you don't know what else has been put into the dumpster. There could be toxic or hazardous materials. Especially if it's a renovation project.

Secondly, be careful with the wood if you don't know precisely what it is. For instance, making charcoal (or even burning) pressure treated wood is a horrible idea.

The word "null" means "missing value" in e.g. SQL and most data science / analytics contexts. It's unfortunately an overloaded term with two different meaning. Conflating the two things is where we get the egregious mistake of using null pointers to represent null data!
> It's tempting to dole out uninformed advice on the internet.

...says he, and then links to a page of advice on the internet. The "Keto Diet Risks" section on that page is such an epic, "that it's not even worth refuting".

>> Fuzzy thinking and mood swings. "The brain needs sugar from healthy carbohydrates to function. Low-carb diets may cause confusion and irritability,"

This shows that whoever wrote this has never even tried proper keto. Because the brain does not need sugar (otherwise you would die after a few days of fasting), and fuzzy thinking is only for the first couple of days until your body adjusts and your brain gets enough fuel again.

It is in fact quite evil, because if someone starts keto or fasting and feels "confused and irritated" at first, they might just stop doing it out of fear of the unknown. Luckily in our modern society were are past such diseases as type-2 diabetes, right? So nobody should bother checking out something that might actually help with that.

But let me ask about your personal experience with keto or fasting. Did you try either? Did it work for you? I could link a hundred web posts about the benefits of keto, and another hundred about the dangers of it. In fact, anybody could google this for themselves, so I don't find this "I read this and that about something" contributing much to any discussion.
The misalignment of economic ties and political borders is something that the US makes almost impossible to change, but leads to a lot of dysfunction all over the place.

Compare New York and its subway with Madrid, which has the most efficient Subway operation in Europe. Madrid's subway is also controlled by its state, instead of by the mayor, but go look at the state borders: It's pretty much the metropolitan area. It makes the voters' interest line up pretty well with each other as far as functioning government goes. It's not that there's no corruption in Spain: there's plenty. But bad results can be punished electorally.

In contrast, look at US borders, where a whole lot of metropolitan areas are split, and we have many states with multiple metropolitan areas. What does someone in Branson, Missouri have to do with someone in Kansas City? And yet, Kansas City is in two states. We also have metropolitan areas with dozens, if not hundreds of municipalities, which try to fund themselves via sales taxes and highway tickets, as those are often paid by people that don't live in the municipality, but just pass by. The people that control the majority of the votes and those that suffer the consequences of the decisions don't line up.

If you gave a foreigner an population map of the united states, and handed them a bunch of demographic layers, like where people go to work, or some basic political opinions, and told them to create a map of states and metropolitan borders, the map would be completely different from what we have. And it'd be especially different around our metro areas. And yet, we couldn't change any of those things to save our lives. It's not hard to draw borders that lead to more efficient government, and where more people are either happy with their government, or have a realistic chance to change its composition.

So ultimately blaming this on consultants is not going deep enough: We have very few forces pushing for a government that is efficient, with sufficient state capacity. But while a company can reorg, state borders are too important for national politics to change.

OK. I'll stop looking now. However if you do require a security review then I would be happy to oblige.
You’re right. Why would I rebuy my perfectly good cassette tapes and buy CDs and then later on pay $12/month for a streaming service.

I really shouldn’t have had to get rid of all of SCSI peripherals either.

And Apple really should haven’t abandoned the 32 pin connector either on the first iPod. All of my accessories like my cassette to 30 pin adapter that let me pause and play my iPod from tape deck became obsolete

Btw, did you also complain when you couldn’t use your 32 pin iPod accessories with your Shuffle?

BTW, are you a runner? Do you travel a lot and go through airports? Wired headphones are really irritating and are always getting tangled. These days, when I run outdoors, I leave my phone at home and run exclusively with my cellular watch.

Besides, I have an Apple Watch, iPad, phone and Mac. When I start doing something on one, my Airpods automatically switch.

The AirPod shuffle was also not waterproof and running with that and the wired headphones was irritating especially compared to my Watch with AirPods.

There are plenty of Lightning headphones available

Stride3D – Life Beyond Unity?
Ranges for for loops was a long time coming. Some C programmers just completely lost their shit at having to use a while loop for some reason. It was such a common complaint that we invented stuff like the following as a joke, that of course became something people actually used because internet gonna internet:

for(@as([10]void, undefined)) |_, idx| {
_ = idx;
}

Which, for those unfamiliar with Zig, has `for` iterate over an 'array' of 0-bit values and capture the index while throwing out the value (which would always be 0 because that's the only value a 0-bit type can represent).

The implementation of this proposal brings with it the additional benefit of making index capturing less mysterious.

Show HN: AI course creator for micro-learning
Our team (MCG) has built an AI powered solution that creates a complete, highly accurate & ready-to-share mini-course. We believe this feature is making the lives of coaches, training providers and online course creators a lot more easier. Because for those people getting started with content creation is a big issue and time creates a big hesitancy. Besides, LMS tools (which are great for macro-course building) is a bit overkill for what they need, like lead generation, onboarding, micro-learning dripping, and so on. Our solution will generate a full course with a small description, and after a few edits like adding images, quizzes, editing appearance, the course will be ready to share. We are using Open AI’s GPT3 as our source. Looking forward to your feedback.

As far as I understand it, obesity can aggravate sleep apnea, but actually does not cause sleep apnea, so it is not at all the main cause. For obstructive sleep apnea, say, if you had a perfectly formed jaw, teeth, airway, etc., you could get obese without having sleep apnea.

Which means that obese people shouldn't rely on losing weight as a sleep apnea cure, as obesity is indeed not the main cause, but can likely see reduction in sleep apnea symptoms with weight loss.
I can't speak for the JVM backend specifically, but in general Idris 2 code can call arbitrary functions in the backend with the "%foreign" pragma. So hopefully that would be supported for Java, although I don't know how it would work with classes.
> If you're lucky the subscription price is similar to the price of the standalone price after X years,

Yes! That is how it should work. Think of it as costing the same if you find value for years, but you have the option of bailing early and getting a refund if you don’t find it as valuable as you expected.

> where the subscription is several times the price of the app in a year

Don’t conflate the price and the model. Those developers found that they were not financially viable and changed both price and model. The thinking was probably something like “in order to make a decent living, we have to increase price by 3x” / “wow! Nobody will pay that up front, it’s too risky. But subscriptions will produce the same financial result and not scare off new customers.”

This is a pie-slicing problem. Developers want to make money, users don’t want to pay. Upfront pricing is a lose-lose, with lower sales for developers and higher risks for buyers.
This is why you don't give more to your employer than you can gaurantee they will return to you in exchange.
Assuming good automation, most of the work comes in being able to do a second of something instead of just having one. The difference in work between “single point” and “multiple point” is a lot, but increasing the multiple points beyond that isn’t too bad.

Of course, if you deploy a change to all of your separated stacks at once through some sort of automated pipeline it doesn’t matter too much. Easy to break everything simultaneously that way if there’s some difference between test and prod you didn’t realize was there.
Sony will have to prepare for the cloud gaming revolution once network infrastructure will match the grid network infrastructure

A handheld will be the catalyzer for cloud gaming market, just like what smartphones did to landline telephones

I can see a PS6 with a handheld as companion, it perfectly make sense, if they don't then that'd be a missed opportunity

It definitely is better than Xbox X/S, Microsoft missed a huge opportunity there, they have to manufacture 2 different SKU (sony will soon have just one with their modular design)

I can't be the only one to sense this signal?

If they don't do a handheld then that could only mean they got pressured to not do it, by whom? shareholders? insiders? 3rd-party?

The PSVita story is unfortunate, but lot of solid reasons why it didn't do as good as they'd have hoped, it sold ~ same as the WiiU and yet Nintendo doubled down and were successful with the Switch, it could have been PSVita2 or PSP2 and Sony would have found similar success, even thought Switch took some time before going mainstream, that's another evidence that the market is demanding it, you can see it with the boom of the handheld retro consoles that all are running android/linux

Successful games like CoD Mobile and Genshin Impact, as well as the countless of games getting ported to the Switch and Smartphones is a better evidence than my comment, smartphone users are demanding premium games, and that played a big role in the Switch success

They list 7B, 13B, 33B, 65B architectures. Presumably, they compare 65b one to GPT-3 175B. Chinchilla model which is about 70B outperformed a much larger GPT-3 model. So not that fantastical.

EDIT: I stand corrected. They do compare 13B model with a large GPT-3 model which is hard to believe without a bit more concrete evidence

Change my mind: 90%+ of plastic is not necessary.

Not necessary:

- plastic bottles (good only for coca-cola's profits etc., 90% of bottled drinks contain microplastics, use glass)

- food wrappers (use paper & natural wax, not pfoas)

- plastic shopping bags (use textile bags like our grandma's did)

- eshop packages (ever received goods in plastic bags wrapped in insane amounts of additional plastic?)

- tea bags made with plastic (yes, they're there, not biodegradable, lots of microplastics in your tea)

- tooth brushes (what's wrong with wood/bamboo ?)

- textiles ( cotton / hemp / flax. you think you need to run in modern textiles because it's raining ? stay home, i don't need your pfoas in my water )

- polystyrene for home insulation (why not support plant based alternatives, like hemp / hempcrete)

- fishing nets (70% of macro plastic at sea comes from fishing gear, just eat plants people, there are not that many fish left anyway)

Necessary:

- health care

- what have i forgot?

Better to stop producing the crap, than to have to find ways how to utilize it without harming everything and everybody. It's good only for the packaging industry, nobody else.

Twitter is still up & running inspite of strength being reduced to 1/4th. Were all these jobs associated with new ideas & features? Or are the remaining one's working their ass off?
Yeah, I'm confused by this one, as salaried employeees. Unless your salaried job is making you clock in, why not work the 3-4 hours it takes to do your normal job, take whatever meetings, and go do literally anything else with the rest of your now paid-for free time?

I mean, I don't subscribe to the mentality (I usually have side projects for my work that have tangibly lead to promotions in the past), but if I were, I'd just use it for more free time.
> It's funny that you mention that because cosmetic surgery like breast enhancement and reduction are performed on minors an order of magnitude more often than anything having to do with gender presentation. I assume you spend a proportionate amount of time and energy fighting that practice?

You say "minors" when I clarified "children" to mean "prepubescent children".

There is no way that pre-pubescent children are getting boob-jobs at the rate you claim they are.

Because we aren't talking about minor children in general. We're talking about prepubescent children.

And we frequently (like in all the examples I gave) ensure that, even with parental consent, they can't do certain things. Like sex.

> This isn't a new category of thing we're allowing minors to do.

Yes, it is. Irreversible changes purely based on the feelings of the prepubescent child and nothing else aren't allowed, your strawman notwithstanding.

> Why suddenly the strict consideration by outsiders who never cared about any of those other things?

Sorry, outsiders? Lot's of people cared about prepubescent children enough to enforce that those children go to school, that they are not allowed to have sex no matter how much their parent claims "But they asked for it!!! They feel ready for it!!!"

Seriously, we ignore the wishes of prepubescent children all the time, because they are not in a position to provide informed consent.

> Again you cannot just ignore that context and pretend that, ah, well, nevertheless, I just really think this one thing is important for this specific reason.

No. That's what you are doing. This is your single issue. I'm just pointing out that, collectively, society has already agreed that prepubescent children cannot make their own health decisions.

You are here whining that you should be able to petition prepubescent children so that they can give consent. In reality, they have no ability to give consent because we (society) took it away from them.
What you decide is "needed by individuals and small teams" is not always what an individual or small team actually needs. This makes the open core model extremely difficult to get right (I am not sure I know any examples of anyone who has continued to do it right for very long).

For example, I would love SSO for my homeserver, so that I can share secrets with my family. I would guess that my family is a "small team", but many open core products don't open source SSO features. Many small actual businesses would prefer SSO too, as juggling multiple logins is as much a pain for a small team member as it is for a member of a big team.

I appreciate any open source contribution even if it is missing features. I understand it can be difficult to sell a product that is 100% open source.

Even when I am implementing something for a larger organization, I always prefer to specify open source over open core.

I end up very rarely adopting any open core product due to missing features- and when I do, I am often spending money re-implementing the closed source features, and thus the money isn't there to pay the company for support. I don't know how common this approach is, I just know a lot of open core products get skipped by me because of limitations.
