1. On a long enough time line those people will weed themselves out.

2. It's a good thing for team leads to own their work, but if they're not comfortable with people poking around then they seem to be hiding something, and in that case I'll default back to the first point.
Mainly resource exhaustion from developers makes the other runtimes fade into the background while resources being put into web deployment (pyodide) and microcontrollers (micropython and circuitpython) are a much better idea.
This is great news. Although disappointing how long it took. Still hoping for a nuclear resurgence. Between this and all the EV factories coming online in GA, GA will have quite the impact on climate goals.
I'm mostly inclined to agree... I try to keep my total carbs below 50g/day and net carbs under 20g/day, I'm diabetic and prefer to minimize my use of exogenous insulin. The cap on the total, is because there are definitely affects from fiber, sugar alcohols, etc that aren't accounted for otherwise.

Too many people will turn to the alternatives as an all you can consume buffet and not realize that what is being consumed still has 40-60% of the effects that sugar does on glucose control alone. And that doesn't cover the effects on gut flora.

I'm not fond of the vegetarian push in TFA though. I think animal products are perfectly natural and generally good nutrition sources and that the refined fats and sugars are far more dangerous generally speaking. Fruit juice in quantity being as or more dangerous as soda.

Fructose does everything bad to the liver that alcohol does without the negative reinforcement of a headache after.
I don't understand why the bluetooth-stealing happens so often. I'll literally be in the middle of a podcast on my phone, and my iPad in the next room (on which my kids have been watching something) will take over my headphones. There's no change in state on either device (not stopping/starting), and I haven't moved close to the iPad (and the iPhone is much closer, in my pocket). I just have to turn off bluetooth entirely on the iPad to avoid this.
>The report also warns of stark economic damage if Mr. Biden, in an attempt to avert a default, agrees to those demands.

This is now the GOP works, the play the spending card when not in power, but when in power cut taxes for the rich and increase the deficit to extremely high levels. Which the Dems fix.

Examples, look at Bush II and Trump.

https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/natio...

Notice the year 2000 ? That was Clinton's last year as president and articles were being published about the US being able to have no deficit in 5 years. And some international markets were starting to panic because there would be no safe place (US Bonds) for the rich to park their money. Bush took care of that.

Now the GOP is trying to completely destroy the World Economy.
The greatest barrier to me pushing people I know to use Signal is the lack of features real-world needs and wants from its users in an infuriatingly paternalistic manner.

For example: most people want to be able to back up and/or transfer messages to a new device (which can happen every few years) or sync to another device such as their desktop so that (gasp) they can see message history when corresponding with someone.

Probably half a dozen times in the last 5-6 years I have lost all my Signal messages.

Most recently, I did a full, encrypted backup of my iPhone to my Mac (which has FDE via the T2 chip) prior to doing a device wipe because it was starting to feel sluggish. All the devices involved have the best security of any handheld/portable computer commonly available and the data was DOUBLE encrypted on my Mac. Every other app's settings restored fine....but not Signal. They exclude their data store from the backups so I lost numerous messages, photos, etc from a couple of friends. Those messages are gone forever.

I can't use Signal for any transactions with other people, even something like a simple Craigslist deal, because there's no way to export messages to provide them as evidence, other than to take a screenshot. So Signal is also useless to lawyers and business executives, too.

When you ask them why they don't support the various things like exports and syncing, there's a lot of general, paranoid hand-waving about how if you're a reporter or human rights worker in a third world country those features could be abused...like said reporter or human rights worker wouldn't simply be tortured until they unlocked their device...also ignoring that it should be perfectly possible to allow the user to choose (gasp!) whether they want to enable such features. Ie: let them decide for themselves what their risk profile is.

You know why their claims are bullshit? Because they've never implemented a duress password that unlocks the app but only shows messages from, say, friends but hides messages and contacts you don't want people to see.

When I mention syncing people start shrieking about cloud storage this and that...which you don't need to sync two devices, as demonstrated by syncthing, magic wormhole, and a slew of other programs that are device-to-device with, at most, a zero-knowledge coordinating proxy, which Signal already has.

So can I please be allowed to back up / export my messages and call history? Can I please see my message and call history in the desktop app? Would you please support backing up my message history to another device with the best fucking device security in the world, that is double-encrypted?
Show HN: Stop writing untyped express routes
Hey HN --

We were tired of writing untyped code for our APIs so we started building Fern (https://github.com/fern-api/fern). We just launched our express integration, check out the demo here: https://www.loom.com/share/31f4243c4d824c54938bdc4840fbb8ba.
Thank you. Wasn't aware.

Where is the assignment to a variable? Where can you construct a query using a variable in table/query position? That's the whole point of being first class and composable, a query becomes like any other value so you should be able to parameterize any query by another query assigned to a variable that may have been set inside an if-statement, or accepted as a parameter to a stored procedure. You know, the same kinds of composition we see in ordinary programming languages.

The problem is not union or regulation. The problem is that American rail infrastructure is a complete disaster and then train companies use that infrastructure to push incredibly long trains on them driven by crews that have horrible working experience (crew switches in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and so on).

Having 1 driver is quite common in most of the world but most places don't run on that kind of infrastructure with that kind of loads. 2 crew has prevented massive desasters in US rail history.

If anybody was serious about logic, upgrading the rail infrastructure, totally new signaling system, electrification, shorter trains would allow for a huge amount of self driving.

But don't expect that rail companies will do any of that. They have very little punishment for there trains falling over, or delay caused by Amtrek and they can do with their crews as they like.
It’s more disappointing because I think people thought Nintendo was holding out on this kind of thing on principle. You had all the EA’s and Activisions of the world trying to replicate the economics of mobile casino apps in their AAA titles, but Nintendo was over in the corner still taking your $60 one time for a finished and complete game.

Now its pretty clear that they are happy to sell their AAA brand titles to the mobile casino people. And people worry that means that maybe Nintendo isn’t principled on this issue, just conservative and slow to adopt these things in the same way they were slow and conservative on online multiplayer. If that’s true, maybe soon after showing crazy profits this kind of crap is coming for all of their beloved franchises in mainline titles on Nintendo hardware.

I'm out of the loop, can someone summarize the drama?
Not quite, TypeScript provides a options beyond what the author of this article details that IMO are superior, at least in some cases. Instead of just "throw an error or return ()" or "throw an error or return NonEmpty<T>", you can declare a function's return type as "throws iff the argument isn't NonEmpty" or "true iff the argument is NonEmpty".

Compare:

function validateNonEmpty<T>(list: T[]): void {
if (list[0] === undefined)
throw Error("list cannot be empty")
}

function parseNonEmpty<T>(list: T[]): [T, ...T[]] {
if (list[0] !== undefined) {
return list as [T, ...T[]]
} else {
throw Error("list cannot be empty")
}
}

function assertNonEmpty<T>(list: T[]): asserts list is [T, ...T[]] {
if (list[0] === undefined) throw Error("list cannot be empty")
}

function checkEmptiness<T>(list: T[]): list is [T, ...T[]] {
return list[0] !== undefined
}

declare const arr: number[]

// Error: Object is possibly undefined
console.log(arr[0].toLocaleString())

const parsed = parseNonEmpty(arr)
// No error
console.log(parsed[0].toLocaleString())

if (checkEmptiness(arr)) {
// No error
console.log(arr[0].toLocaleString())
}

assertNonEmpty(arr)
// No error
console.log(arr[0].toLocaleString())

For me the `${arg} is ${type}` approach is superior as you are writing the validation once and can pass the precise mechanism for handling of the error to the caller, who tends to have a better idea of what to do in degenerate cases (sometimes throwing a full on Exception is appropriate, but sometimes a different form of recovery is better).
When I read the title, I thought for a second that they are killing the censorship “feature”. I find it quite annoying.
And meanwhile they won't trust us enough with a sync function because general hand waving about how it could be abused.
You cannot abstract over stored procedures either, so that's still not composable.
Motivation was sporadic. I'd have a few weeks of intense focus, followed by months of inactivity. The nice thing about compilers it that 90% of their code is interesting, so there was always something fun worth coming back to. Besides, I put other projects on hold so I wouldn't get distracted.

I don't always know the best way to do something, but so long as I know some way to do it, I can make progress. Tough bugs are just a matter of perseverance. And hey, if it's still not working, just drop the feature. In a personal project, you can do that and nobody can stop you.

One more thing: don't talk about your projects until they're 95% done. Seeking early validation is a poison pill.

> Databases are much more powerful than we think

The older I get the more I agree with this.

There is nothing you cannot build by combining SQL primitives. Side effects can even be introduced - on purpose - by way of UDFs that talk to the outside world.

I've seen more than one system where the database itself was directly responsible for things like rendering final HTML for use by the end clients. You might think this is horrible and indeed many manifestations are. But, there lurk an opportunity for incredible elegance down this path, assuming you have the patience to engage in it.
Doesn't sound too surprising
I discussed how/why the point of this article is very much not to “parse everything” in this followup: https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2020/01/19/no-dynamic-typ... In particular, it articulates precisely why it is fine to use relatively wide types for any input which the program treats opaquely, and it gives an example of how the same techniques can still be useful even in that context.
That has nothing to do with entitlements…

That isn’t how it would work in reality.

It would be up to the bank to prove that their practices are non discriminatory if there will be a discrepancy between the number of applications issued.

The plaintiffs will be able to sue and win based on the outcome alone.

As far as actual rights go then you have the right to appeal any automated decision and have a human review it without any bias. Which again it doesn’t matter if it’s AI or a an algorithm based on flipping a coin.
The problem is when you're in a situation where "over here we need YAML document A, and over there we need YAML document B." You either shove a templating system in front of your YAML and fight with that or throw in the towel just use a programming language where constructs in your YAML map to objects.
I've long desired form my AirPods to operate in a "play any sound from any of my devices" mode. This seems like a no-brainer and such phantom connections would as a result have no user-visible impact and you could do things like listen to music coming from your phone while hearing sounds from your MacBook.
Bluetooth is basically the devil though. My Bose speaker cant handle the fact that I always want my Android phone, and keeps insisting that I really want my child's IPad.

It’s for connecting functions together like a pipeline, the same as compose but the fn list is reversed. Lodash has something similar called chain, but that’s harder to extend and isn’t as portable as partially applied functions

C may be safe, but in combination with grapefruit is ineffective.

D may be safe, but interactions with E and F need to be balanced and monitored to ensure that the body's systems don't get out of whack.

G may be safe, but it has recreational use (and abuse) possibilities.

H may be safe, but is a precursor to creating Z which is heavily regulated.

Most drugs have a "this can go wrong" and with the prevalence of people taking whatever they find or people are talking about (see hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin for some widely popularized examples), I am hesitant to suggest that the common person is sufficiently informed about drugs to take that aspect of their medical care into their own hands without oversight.

Expressing them definitely. I once saw a guy in London with a t-shirt that said "support the pkk", which the UK designated as a terrorist org at the time (maybe still) and so this support was a crime. Still, big difference between something being the law and someone actually getting charged with a crime.

What's interesting is to look at the political systems and constitutional protections the young, educated Europeans flock to: In a survey of scientists from 16 countries[0], the US is the top destination from 13 of the 15 others and the #2 choice from the other two.

There's a constant influx of these young, educated entrepreneurs, engineers and innovators coming here to America and the Bay Area. It's not a new trend; back in the 20th century America became a refuge for scientists from Europe wanting to escape! [1] [2]

I have to wonder what's Europe's end goal here... sure seems these measure won't help curb that brain drain.

It's a generalized problem in Apple devices.

I use a USB/bluetooth headphone DAC/amp. Most of the time, I plug it into my work laptop and listen to videos/music while I work. Sometimes, if a video ends or if I pause playback, my iPhone (which INSISTS on connecting to the amp) will take over and start playing music.

I really wish you could turn off auto-connect to bluetooth devices.

>They are fighting for the right to buy generic Tadalafil manufactured by billion-dollar Indian companies trusted by over a billion people with the proper FDA certifications in India.

The revenue of a pharma manufacturer is not necessarily an indicator of quality. Many international pharma firms of supposed good repute have repeatedly been found to be committing egregious levels of good manufacturing practice (GMP) violations, and even when they have production lines that stand up to FDA audits, parallel production lines in the same firm that aren't subject to FDA scrutiny (as they produce for non-US markets) often are churning out very suspicious products for local / developing world consumption. And even US-based production lines can be churning out product with potential defect for quite some time during gaps between FDA audits - it happens all the time.

yep some of these ML platform tools only make sense once you reach a certain scale/set of problems. For flyte, it was created because Lyft had a very heterogeneous set of tools one could build a ML pipeline with. So they made it really easy to integrate and importantly serialize, data between systems. E.g. sql -> python -> spark -> python. But if all your data fits in memory, or you only one system, you might not be a great fit for Flyte.

What I try to do, is understand who created the platform, and understand the environment of that company. Then that will give you a better idea of whether it makes sense for you or not.
Maybe I'm just a effeminate big-city lefty liberal but it seems like the stan culture for Elon is the same as for Trump, Desantis, Joe Rogan, and all the other guys who peddle easy answers for a difficult world.
