I have been building SPA with SSR for years, if you truly know what you are doing they work very well. Yes there are some downsides to SPA's but the amount of friction is removed due to the speed of the app it does amazing things for business. We increases conversion rate and sales like crazy because of the experience of the website. It is true I had do some extra work to make it so fast, but dam the growth we had with the SPA was amazing. Know keep in mind that in our case it made sense because our users are buying 3000+ products in one session
Sycophancy: usually a good short-term strategy, but in this case, very short-term.
I'm wearing Merino woolen socks at the moment. Good to read about the deodorant properties.
The Problem with AP Classes
Modula-2 was Pascal perfected to the point where it could do everything that C could do better and safer. Unfortunately, by then it was too late.
So if someone quite literally takes a picture of themselves holding a gun and sends it to someone with the message that they are going to kill them at a specific time, how is that not something that should be banned? What if it's a group of people? The negative emotions (read: human suffering) caused by other humans' words is real, and when the suffering is something society understands to be a natural and common reaction, why should society not curtail that speech?

That some bureaucrats might think that is a much less bold statement.
The author gets the headline right: OKRs will never be enough. You need talent. Management talent and individual contributor talent. OKRs are a communication framework. The author thinks you should communicate more detailed information than what OKRs contain by default. Seems fine, but honestly a big nothingburger.
It absolutely would.

I think the people so eager to say it wasn’t a leak are often strawmaning that the argument is intentional leak.

I don’t care if it was a 1 in a billion accident. If it happened, it did so at a lab doing gain of function research on coronaviruses, and that was being funded by money originating in the USA. So…

I think I know how to prevent the next global event that someone is surely working on.
Interesting. Who would you say made the decisions that directed Tesla into becoming that?
I did Macintosh application programming [0] in Pascal in the late '80s. I was forever struggling with strings; every time I wanted a string I found I had an array of characters, or vice versa.

but that's very likely also a very conscious export of South Korea, like Korean restaurants.

and to a degree France has this too with their Institut Francais (French institute) ... but of course with a negligible efficacy.

that said, as far as I know, Paris is still the top top top number 1 travel destination.
A bit tangential but Patagonia's Cool Merino Shirt is probably top 3 in shirts/long sleeve apparel I've ever worn

First the tech world appropriated the word evangelist. Now it's apologetics. Get your own words and stop diluting Christian vocabulary.
Regular people here without a known political affiliation were ridiculed relentlessly for even mentioning the lableak hypothesis. Same goes for merely questioning lockdowns. I hope many of you are doing some serious reflection.
That apparently worked well for Adobe products too.
> It's the speech that deepens political divisions and lowers trust in the society

So when Fauci lies on television, I can't speak out because it would deepend political divisions and lower trust in the society? That's a terrible standard. And completely subjective. This is the very definition of the absense of free speech. Free speech is the freedom to disagree, to challenge. Not to only say what is consensual.
Yes, a thing can be most likely, and not likely.

It is talking about the relative likelihood of the possible origins.
Current generation LLMs get much easier problems wrong, problems that people have no trouble with.
Noita is a computer game that takes this concept and runs with it. Every pixel of the world is simulated and destructible. Flammable materials will start on fire and be consumed. Your primary weapon are magic wands and hundreds of spells and you use the spells to make little programs that run every time the wand is fired.
Merino is plenty stylish when used correctly.
This article doesn't provide enough info for me to see exactly what they did, but to me it seems more like a correlation that the people most likely to be able to perform exercise in a trial are also the people most likely to be able to improve their mental state over time.
Maybe “generic and meaningless” is a better descriptor.
I wouldn't be surprised if Redux has cross-polination from ClojureScript, but in terms of non-Javascript languages that inspired Redux, the top of that list is probably Elm.

See https://redux.js.org/understanding/history-and-design/prior-... which lists Elm right under Flux.

The word "should" might be confusing here. I didn't read it as the author recommending a change; rather the author first proposes "Given what I know about Stack Overflow, they must be doing something like this, right?" Then boom comes the surprising revelation.
Still plenty of Pascal in schools, especially outside of Moscow and St Petersburg. And new implementations specifically for this purpose, most notably https://pascalabc.net/
Diagram 1 has the comment "What I think it should be".

It's easy to interpret that as "stackoverflow should change to be like this", but I think it was meant to be more like "If I had to guess how stackoverflow works, this is what I think it would look like".

It's amazing how much performance and scalability you can get out of computers, if you don't burden them with 100x overhead caused by shoveling data between microservices all the time :-)
My Merino wool socks have saved me from many, many blisters compared to wearing cotton socks. Also they simply don't stink, which is a great addition. Easy to wash, quick to dry, no wrinkles. Perfect for hiking.
Ah, that makes sense, I knew there was deviation between the magnetic pole and north pole, but I did not think it was that large.

Thanks.
> Even if the standard consolidated on one way or another to pack up secondary exceptions (or discard them) how likely is the calling code going to be able to handle and recover from this case?

Not unlikely. Sometimes your unwind involves cleaning up things that throw for the same reason as the original failure - e.g. failure to communicate with some piece of hardware. But you still try going through that unwind, right? Eventually you leave the context of accessing your hardware device entirely and are back to just working with system memory, the standard streams and some files, which would probably work fine.

I have recently experienced this writing wrappers for the CUDA API for GPU programming.
No, I use emacs with Magit exclusively to do any interactive or complex git operations and then return to vim. I think Magit is that good.
Thank you for the report! Should be fixed now, consequence of updating the docs. Let me know what you think of the app.
Yes there's also a rope tied with a noose, while that technically gets rid of all your problems it also isn't a helpful solution
>>We did not have a good debate over the origins of the virus because there was not enough evidence for one.

I am not sure I entirely agree. Evidence, or at least theory that the virus was lab-made was vehemently suppressed. I remember Indian researchers presenting their evidence that there were some odd synthetic genome insertions and they were quickly dismissed.

It seems more likely to me that it was intentionally released and not an accidental leak.
What are you talking about?

gwbasic had a function to relabel all the lines. And the labels skip by 10 numbers exactly for the purpose of inserting lines. Then when you had hit the limit you'd ask the computer to relabel them in steps of 10 again.
Once the evidence is public, does that mean we could start a worldwide class-action lawsuit against the Wuhan laboratory's owner?
Oddly we are in agreement
Same but i haven’t been able to find a pair that doesn’t get holes in them after 3 years. For the price i would like something that lasts a bit longer.

Currently using bombas but going to try darn tough next.
It's not either or, you get both. Violence often follows threats, and if threats are allowed you can force people to do whatever you want and just have to remind them of a few cases where actual violence was done.

Sure, just pointing out that once you've got a workflow yaml, adding a plugin and swapping a tool out entirely are similar amounts of yaml effort by that point. (Depending of course on your yaml fluency and familiarity with GitHub actions.)
Millennial here.

Yep, it happens. I just don't care. If a friend wont speak to you because you have the wrong phone, shitty friend.
I'm glad that such upstanding citizens are protecting us from the threat of disinformation.
If "patient zero" was someone who was there in a work capacity and got infected while doing that, yes. If they were a tourist who happened to work at the lab then no.
Even though I love their simplicity as an example of how to be pragmatic and not over-engineer, do remember that they’ve tuned their code to the point that they built an ORM that is one of the fastest in the NET world. I used it and it was awesomely lightweight.

It’s as much an example of how far world class talent can go, as it is about doing more with less.
Would you be worried if the amount of data required to train LLMs went down significantly, but scaling benefits continue to hold? I.e. if it turns out that by more efficiently using data there are 2-3 more orders of magnitude's worth of training possible.

What if LLMs can be used to train themselves on how to collect data from more diverse and plentiful sources?
Manish got arrested by BJP Centre Government. Last time I checked, Manish is clearly an opposition to BJP Centre Government even if he is in power in a state/territory. So the title is correct imho.
Joel Spolsky used to work for Microsoft and all his products were developed using the MS ecosystem, I believe.
I suspect the world would be better off if all knowledge of nuclear weapons were eradicated. I doubt on a few levels that the damage can really be isolated given proliferation. Baby Boomers were found to have significantly elevated levels of strontium-90 in their baby teeth attributed just to atmospheric testing. That did result in a treaty to ban the practice, but nuclear weapon research continued and continues today. I doubt any country will willingly stop viral research; especially because there are legitimate medical reasons for such research, though I suspect weapon applications are inextricably intertwined as well.
> whether the product improves over time has no bearing on revenue

Only very rarely do I want my software to “improve over time”. That’s code for feature accumulation, which is essentially a negative for existing users but helps publishers expand their market.

Generally, there’s something I want to do. I find software that does it in a way I like. I want to have that software, exactly as I encountered it, so that I can do the thing that I want to do in the way that I want to do it.

Changing the interface every 18 months to accommodate the 217 new and irrelevant-to-me things it does is not usually what I was looking for.

Occasionally, there is a specific new thing I want to do and I go looking for software that does it. If it’s from a publisher whose work I liked previously, I’ll likely turn to them first and will decide if I like what they’re now selling.

But again, that’s me and my goal looking for software when I need it. Adding new noise to the thing I paid for (or am paying for) is almost always a nuisance and inconvenience that removes value from my prior choice.
Wow I have not heard "Loongson" for about 15+ years. I had a job at a startup that was trying to make "thick client" machines (kiosks, library computers, schools, prisons, call centers) etc. Using Loongson hardware running debian-live ("casper"), MIPSEL variety. My job was to cook up custom Linux images to boot from flash memory on Loongson prototypes, so we could show prospective customers "hey, we can stamp out these computers that will do only what you want and nothing more.

At the time, the internet had a ton of Macromedia (Adobe) "Flash" for animations, video playing etc, and there was no capable MIPS "player" for flash which was a major concern towards our go-to-market strategy.

Now Flash is history and most people are surfing the web on ARM chips on their phones.. time moves quickly
I kind of agree but you can't be absolutist either. If a mob boss says "kill this guy" to one of his hitmen, and the guy kills him. Only the hitman goes to jail? The mob boss just used his freedom of speech but didn't act?
> I don't understand the mental gymnastics to discredit the lab leak hypothesis.

I’m not sure I beleive in Dead Internet Theory so much as I believe in some form of unknowing indoctrination theory.

That if you take the people with these hardline defensive of authority opinions away from the internet for a bit, explain a new event to them, when they get back on the internet, none of the people they normally deal with have the same opinion of what they learned about “offline” at first.

I think we unintentionally have created a mind control device.
Microservices remains mostly an organisational pattern to scale development teams not necessarily the system performance. Microservices add a lot of complexity and overhead.

Big fan of lightweight merino and almost never wear cotton except for pants.

Looks and feels nicer than cotton and doesn’t retain moisture like cotton does and not as heavy. Bamboo-blends are also good for cooler weather, but not as popular
Dapper! I used it a while back and it was a single class that bundled query results straight into a list of objects by emitting low level CLR bytecode

Looks like its expanded a little since then

From the study linked in the article, you're right. It acknowledges that sleep changes in adults/older adults, but not whether this is considered okay due to their age.
> A type having similar algebraic properties to a set of assembly instructions isn’t what being close to the metal is about.

See if you can guess how those "similar [actually, identical] algebraic properties" are achieved when the Rust software is compiled to machine code. Keep in mind that Rust has a reputation for going real fast...

If you guessed that the answer is it produces exactly the same machine code, you're correct.

> Safe rust would be quite far away from the metal. It provides a safety net that prohibits you from doing anything metal-like.

Nope. This is a crucial misunderstanding, it supposes that Safe Rust is something like Java or even Python and it really isn't.

It's perfectly safe to implement wrapping integers using just the actual CPU's wrapping arithmetic instructions and so that's exactly what Rust does.

Very often the machine code emitted for a nice safe, expressive Rust program is identical to the code for the trickier to get right C program that looks more "bare metal" - if it copes with all the edge cases correctly. Example: C code that properly checks whether the thing it just got wasn't NULL, versus Rust code that writes if Some(thing) = ... thus pattern matching the "it's a thing" check. If you forget to check in the C code it faults (or worse) at runtime, same error in the Rust won't type check and doesn't compile. Once you've made both of them check the machine code when you compile them is identical, that if Some(thing) check will compile to the same conditional jump as the C not-NULL check.

Sometimes there's less machine code... for the Rust, because the compiler knows Rust isn't stupidly aliasing mutable variables, so it can avoid some spills that must be generated in C "just in case".
I know you were joking but I am so glad stuff like that is not on SO. It would look like Quora which is the scourge of the internet.
It’s also one of the few sites I use that regularly goes down for maintenance.
Thank you, that's quite reassuring actually. There is an API, here are our docs: https://web.homechart.app/api/docs. There's also a python library: https://github.com/candiddev/homechart-python.
Ofcourse, that's what the chip in the vaccine is for!
>Is it easy for you to rely on more search index providers, what are your options?

I have a few options:

* Switch index providers. For example, Mojeek has an index with 6bn pages and has a web search API; may be more sustainable to switch to their index in the long run.

* Build my own index. This is my preferred option and I've already started to work on this.

* Look for funding sources to offset the price hike.
I wouldn't exactly call Ada simple, at least not if we're talking about the entire language including stuff like concurrency primitives and OOP. A Pascal-like subset could be derived, though.
I came here to submit this too.

I am consistently impressed with CorridorCrews willing ness to experiment and just build a capability. Its something I see in Enterprise coding too - you have to try everything - only a few things will be useful but when they are they are big. Most of the time its 'hey I can link between these three systems and fill in my timesheet really easily' (which turns out to be a big win cubicle land) - but the point I am badly making is try everything.

(sidenote for @dang - second time in a week or so I submitted a (dupe) - that's fine, but I have had to resort to resubmitting just to land on this page to actually find out the HN discussion. I know its a very niche case. Just wondering if you could make the (dupe) a anchor to the now golden truth discussion)
It's talked about in many circles in the United States, mind. Not one year has gone by without a rant in my sphere about stupid boutique or ulteriorally motived wars, and a pining for the day the U.S. focuses more on solving domestic problems than foreign.

It just happens that for some stupid reason, neither the Republican or Democratic parties have a great track record of producing candidates that can manage to walk the line of foreign policy that minimally entangles us with very poorly advised foreign intervention.

Which is made all the more difficult when allies don't do their utmost in terms of defense spending. The U.S. doesn't need to always be the first bunch of people everyone looks to when some autocratic idiot starts rattling the saber again. This may even be made easier if we don't export advanced manufacturing business to places that value human life and time at approximately zero because it makes the quarterly reports look better.

After all, it's way harder to be an autocrat when no one will do enough business with you to keep the military sufficiently in your pocket. Or teach you how to make the machines that make arms or advanced weaponry. Or sell you said arms.
Yeah! I had a 5S. I loved that little guy. Another reason I got the mini for the angles like the 5S. How much bigger is it? 13 is okay. But I should make it go back to 5S size
"What I think it should be"

That's a little bit arrogant no?
My strategy is usually to replace the word "Woke" with the word "Polite." That has served me well, and served me well for decades doing the same for "Politically Correct."

Sometimes for a laugh I'll replace the current moral panic word with a moral panic from an earlier age.
It's definitely an effective way to tackle China's emerging age pyramid problems. However, it's hard/impossible to prove that. I think it's easier to argue that the Chinese government is guilty of interfering with investigations, destroying evidence, and have a too lax security policy for their virology institutes.
What you've done right here is a prime example of rhetoric (whether you realize that or not).

You neither specify what drugs are being allegedly used off label (with nothing to back that claim up either) and suggest they are cancer drugs to invoke fear. Most people when they hear/read "cancer drugs" think chemotherapy drugs (which are very serious business) but not all cancer drugs are chemotherapy drugs.

Since I don't know what drugs you are actually referring to, let's talk a cancer drug (but not a chemotherapy drug) that could be used as a puberty blocker:

Tamoxifen (Brand name Nolvadex) - Used to treat breast cancer.

Note: I have no idea if tamoxifen is used as a puberty blocker, nor do I care to determine that it is. The point I am trying to make is just because something is a "cancer drug" does not mean that it can't be used for other things safely and rationally.

Why is it used to treat breast cancer?

Because it blocks estrogen receptors.

Why is blocking estrogen receptors helpful for treating breast cancer?

Certain types of breast cancer (not all types - cancers, even of within a single type, are not a monolithic disease but actually a constellation of genetically distinct diseases with some commonalities) - ER+ breast cancers in particular - evolve to hijack the hormonal system (primarily estrogen) in aiding its growth and multiplication.

Thus, blocking the cancer's ability to bind to estrogen molecules slows and can stop the growth of breast cancer cells.

Are there side effects to Tamoxifen? Of course, there are (find me a drug that doesn't have side effects):
hot flashes
vaginal discharge
nausea
mood swings
fatigue
depression
hair thinning
constipation
loss of libido
dry skin

These side effects are very similar to the signs of menopause because tamoxifen is essentially causing a reversible menopause in those whose bodies have become accustomed to estrogen.

Once more, the point I am trying to make here is not that Tamoxifen, a "cancer drug", can, should or is used as a puberty blocker but that cancer drugs can very plausibly be used for other things.

See breastcancer.org for a concise explanation:
[1] https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/hormonal-therapy/tamo...

See Tamoxifen evolution for a much more technical discussion:
[2] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41416-023-02158-5#Sec8

For those paying attention you will invariably also see someone compare puberty blockers to the drugs used to "chemically castrate" sex offenders. This is the exact same rhetorical device and also leverages a very shallow understanding of how the drugs themselves actually work.
Absent of other information, why is this the most probably explanation? It’s possible sure, but the best we could’ve said, especially back then is we don’t know. Viruses from animals jump to humans all the time, and have caused other outbreaks before many times, why is this one special?
