Yes, that's exactly what they did and why it was a problem. They represented themselves as the sole author. I want to say that they'd never even sent in a single PR, but this was over 10 years ago and I just heard the story over lunch (the real author told us all about it).
Even worse, the US is about to ban TikTok. At first I thought they were only going to ban it for government and contractor devices, but it seems now that it will be banned for everyone. I don't use TikTok and probably never will, but how is this bill even constitutionally legal? I understand the concerns about data collection, but the USG seems more concerned about WHO is doing the collecting rather than the collecting itself. If the concern is about the propagation of "disinformation", Amendment I of the US Constitution prohibits this sort of censoring. During WWII, allied troops in the South Pacific listened to "Tokyo Rose" with no interference from the USG. That was back in the day when US citizens did not need to be told what to think by their government.

The Soviet Union had a strict censorship regime that the west referred to as "The Iron Curtain." China has "The Great Firewall" now. What will the world soon be calling ours?

One day, I realized that HTML is a kind of text, and became aware that the `srcdoc` attribute of an`iframe` can receive HTML text and render it. We all know that ChatGPT returns text......
So I created an application called visualized-gpt that can display maps, images, and even music like a magic mirror.
Frosti is not an IaC platform. Instead it looks at code patterns within your solution to determine what architecture fits best for your needs and auto generates it for you. Depending on the environment (dev vs production etc), the infrastructure will be cost optimized.

In terms of users, we think everyone will eventually move away from writing IaC and use a platform like Frosti for the speed to market, reliability and security advantage a platform can deliver over error prone human configuration, especially for organizations where the application developers lack specialized cloud knowledge.

You can use rr or LiveRecorder (commercial product, which I work on) to generate the recording non-interactively then debug it "locally". Avoids the need to set up a client/server configuration, so long as you don't need to modify variable values at runtime, etc.

No it wasn't, MVC was a mess because your views would trigger your controllers, which would propagate changes back down to your views in entirely unpredictable and inconsistent ways.

With hooks you're still free to manage business logic elsewhere, it just means that you can trivially reuse them across your application without worrying about order-dependence. So I was able to write a hook that returned connection state, and then drove my views off of that reactively.

Actually if you think about the balance sheet for banks "too much money" is a problem for them because deposits are liabilities not assets. The money belongs to customers not the bank. The bank must pay back the customers on demand.

That said, I think historically many banks can easily avoid the "too much money" problem by setting the interest they pay on deposits to be low, and maybe even negative.

This narrative relies on a media narrative. The media focus is always on the right-wing resistance, because that serves as the narrative to manufacture consent for police and surveillance powers (look at these evil white supremacists!".)

As a person firmly on the left (like, the actual left, not Joe-Bernie-whatever), I detest what happened to the trucker protests, and the anti-covid lockdown protests, which were all, in the media, portrayed as radical and violent right-wingers - when that was, when you saw any in person, NEVER the core of them and not even a large minority.

The media has you believe otherwise. It pars-pro-totos the most radical element as the core, or the whole, of them, which then bludgeons the milquetoast left (party-political left type) into acquiesce with the police/banking powers used against them. "after all, we do have to contain the right wing!"

And then these police powers set a precedent, and then they're established, and then they get converted into code with little opposition from what deems itself "progressive" civil society. And then we all sit in it.

The HN headline is incorrect. It’s not “12 hour shift for women”. It’s “12 hour shifts AND night shifts for women”.
Night shift were not allowed earlier most likely because of safety reasons considering India’s not so great women safety record. Not saying it’s justified but that was the reason most likely.
> A compelling case for a cause in the growth in teenage depression: reverse CBT.

No it isn't. The hypothesis might have merit, but the article is hot garbage.

The author straight up brings up a more fitting explanation- that liberal girls adopted social media use and correspondingly reduced their IRL interactions first- and completely disregards it in favor of trying to spin it as liberalism itself somehow harming young women.

He then proceeds to cherry-pick data from older studies, uncritically brand concerns about wealth inequality/climate change/etc as cognitive distortions rather than merely possibly-unhealthy ways of processing ground truth, cherry-pick data points from studies, describe tumblr as the villain in the culture war between 4chan and tumblr, disregard corresponding smaller effects in conservative girls, bring up medical gaslighting that young women often face as an argument(how??), etc.

A vastly more plausible case seems to be that liberal women entered the "culture war" and started becoming polarized much earlier, in addition to the fact that the ideals liberal people identify with - such as reproductive rights, freedom and safety for LGBT and disabled people, security of housing and healthcare - have in fact been under assault for most of that timespan.

The way I see it, early 2010s and social media created a rise in self-awareness of just how discriminated young women are against, possibly shifting the lens through which they evaluate their experiences and eventually dragging everyone into this culture war, but most likely primarily just increasing exposure to harmful technology.

As much of a Linux zealot as I am, you make a valid point. In college, I had a TA help me debug a C program on a VAX, and he blew through finding the problem using its native debugger, and wouldn't explain what he did. (I had an O where a 0 should have been. Or vice versa. It was a worse problem back in the days of actual terminals. He found it in literally 30 seconds after I had been bashing my head on the printout for a couple hours.) Anyway, it took me probably 10 years of professional coding before I discovered gdb, and then realized what that TA had done. All at once, I realized how far you could get without an actual debugger, and also why he never bothered to try to explain it to me. I wasn't ready. Not by a long shot. Seeing the right-click options on breakpoints in Visual Studio was... revelatory.

It probably is dangerous [0] because people don’t let their kids play in the street anymore so drivers aren’t used to having them there.

Show HN: GPTKitten – access ChatGPT from Kitty terminal
I was typing away in SQLite when I needed some help, and thought why I don't have ChatGPT in my terminal, so I made this. It automatically adds text from your terminal - e.g. user selection, last or current command output or screen content - and can be used either as autocomplete (kitten) or interactive chat (new window in the terminal).

Code is quite horrendous, I made it in about five different ways before coming to this and can't be bothered to make it cleaner right now, but I'll keep improving it in the coming days.

At the simplest level the answer is... someone posted this to HN and other users upvoted it enough for it to reach the front page.

We write things up for one main reason: find new employees. We want people to know what sorts of things we work on. So we try to explain them in a lot of detail. A secondary reason is that it's sometimes helpful to learn how someone else solved a problem. Real world examples can be helpful and sometimes more helpful than abstract discussions.
That's a good one.

One of my favorite cautionary stories is of the telco which, for cost-savings reasons, deferred drops and cleanup across their entire plant.

As the story goes, digging out of it was horrible, expensive, and epic. Not hard to imagine why.
In addition to the 12 hour shift for all, and night shifts being allowed for women, there is still a 48 hour workweek, and maximum overtime of 145 hours in a 3 month period (an average of one extra 12 hour shift per week). Indian employers are required to pay double for overtime, so this seems mostly like the ability to move to 12x4 instead of 8x6. From an Indian minister:

> “Now, the rule is that workers should work for 48 hours and the aim is to reduce work from six days a week to four or five and in a total week, the work still remains at 48 hours. In the case of those working for 10 hours a day, the workers will work for five days a week and those who work for eight hours a day will work for six days a week,” Ashwathnarayan said.

The government, to protect the economy
When Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008, many people lost money over $100k. So many, that FDIC retroactively raised the insured limit to $250k and made people whole up to $250k. A lot of the money over that simply evaporated. Today, the limit is $250k, but as SVB's clients were mostly startups, and startups need to make payroll and pay operating expenses like their AWS/GCP bill, they'd easily have cash in excess of $250k at SVB.

In our case, we put the house on the market through a realtor of our choosing. Once we had a finalized offer, the company (probably a third party of some sort) took ownership of the house and paid us the offer price. At that point, had the buyer pulled out it would have been the companies problem.

This was a like three housing market cycles ago and the market was in an upturn, so there really wasn't much risk to the company. Another buyer would have been along right behind the first.
