Maybe so, but then you have the un-fun of being $80K in debt and trying to pay it back on jobs you can get with an arts degree.

Maybe there's more efficient ways of having fun.
Edge dev tools has "edit and resend" built in.
The point is to get an education that can be used to get into more valuable areas of employment. $80k is a lot to spend on fun when fun can be found for free
> JSON is a text format and interning it into proper data structures is likely going to take _less_ space, not more.

That depends a lot on the language and the json library.

Lets take `{"ab": 22}` as an example.

That's 10 bytes.

In a language like Rust and using the serde library, this could be deserialized directly into a struct with one integer, let's pick a u32. So that would only be four bytes.

But if it was deserialized to serdes dynamic Value type, this would be : a HashMap<String, u32>, which has a constant size of 48 bytes, plus an allocation of I don't know how much (first allocation will cover more than one entry), plus 16 bytes overhead for the string, plus 2 bytes for the actual string contents, plus the 4 bytes for the u32.
So that's already over ~90 bytes, a lot more than the JSON.

Dynamic languages like Python also have a lot of overhead for all the objects.

Keys can of course be interned, but not that many default JSON parser libraries do that afaik.
> You should elaborate. I just want to read a file, program flow should stop until it is done. sync or awaited async call for this semantically sounds exactly same to me.

What if you are reading the file and somewhere else in the code there is some logging happening. Should the logging flow stop until reading the file is done? Should it not? If not, what should happen if the "thing" (e.g. thread) that executes the code to read the file crashes?

Go does not treat sync and async the same. It specifically has syntax to deal with async, e.g. go routines.
In a BigCo, no individual employee has enough influence on share price to make a difference. Share-based compensation, in a BigCo, is simply a scheme to get public markets to pay a portion of an employee's compensation, rather than taking it out of BigCo's cash flow; employees agree to the risk involved because it may result in larger overall compensation compared a compensation scheme with a slightly larger salary and no shares. But it's much more of a lottery than a genuine chance to link harder work with higher compensation.
Category theory has virtually zero application to software engineering. Abstract algebra (knowing what a group, monoid, etc. are) has a bit more practical application. Knowing what a monad is (in the programming sense) has some as well. Neither of the latter two require learning category theory.
> Julius Caesar's civil war with Pompey was neither long nor protracted...

Compared to what? It was nearly two years just for the portion with Pompey.

> .. and never actually involved the populus of Italy, let alone Rome.

Of course it did involve a great many people from Italy and a great many Romans.

> Pompey's Macedonian strategy ultimately failed as soon as it was contested.

It failed after very nearly succeeding multiple times and after months of skirmishes, sieges, storming of cities, back-and-forth trench warfare on huge scale, and marches with counter-marches. It was a slugfest between the largest and most modern forces of the day.
This is a great article, I've developed the same tactics for other projects but never was able to graft the proper vernacular. It really helps tackling how to organize and present information.

I wonder if this is also in general OSINT or ISC^2 training - everything this article showed for breadtrails and reverse operation (e.g. pay a company to do the work, see how it is, evaluate the results, see if you can find other work similar/akin to it.)
Do you also get annoyed when you're dumb enough to think Anki isn't free?

Nuclear fission still has a long-term role to play in that it has a tiny land/material/resource footprint. With breeder reactors, we can power all of humanity for 4 billion years using the existing uranium and thorium resources. Pretty long term IMHO. Not just a bridge, but an asymptotic state.
>who is controlling...

Depends on which port and which personnel.

The better informed are all aware that after discharge, if the remaining barrels of benzene or methanol can be completely removed by suction and evaporation from the designated edible oil compartments and all associated pipelines and hoses, there is never any cleaner equipment.

Considering earlier voyages, there is no way 12 hours of shipyard cleaning is going to be as effective at removing traces of previous cargoes like acrylonitrile or spent transformer oil, compared to a full voyage when loaded with hundreds of tonnes of such a clean, strong solvent as high-purity benzene or methanol.

So you can only imagine whether everyone involved will all play their supposed part to the fullest extent you might have in mind when preparing for bulk edible oils. Every time.

Sometimes expediting the movement will have to take precedence, other times there "just might" be the attitude of "why bother?"

And when you're the one climbing down inside the vessel compartment to inspect for cleanliness, there can be quite a bit of pressure not to reject a tank that looks so clean (as long as there is no obvious wetness) compared to some of the other choices on board the same ship. Once any of the crew or yourself has been down there and come back up without immediate ill effects, it's been long thought it can't be that bad unless you actually saw something wrong visually.

Certificates of Cleanliness, if required, will always be a part of the paperwork package.

And may I remind you it's the methanol that carries the skull & crossbones, not the benzene.

I cannot for the life of me understand why people use google products like google isn't going to shut them down whenever they want to. Stadia was the most amazing example.

"Surely, google wouldn't do that. Stadia customers are paying customers."

3 years from launch to shut down announcement. 3 months from shutdown announcement to actually shutting down and losing all your investment in Stadia.

I don't understand how long google can keep getting away with this.

you seemed to be saying that this filament might be a better alternative to lead sometimes, but i couldn't tell when that might be. pure tungsten is clearly a better choice sometimes, for example because it shields better than lead, is harder, is denser, and is more refractory, but none of those seems to be true of this filament

from your other comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35206874 it looks like you're saying that, although this composite is inferior to lead in those ways, it's easier to print
There's more fun to be had with 80k than college.
I think even structs have this problem because typically you heap allocate all the structs/arrays. You could try to arena allocate contiguous objects in place, but that sounds hard enough that I doubt that anyone bothers. Using a SAX parser is almost certainly the tool you want to use.
One of those is not like the other in that it requires extensive college. It also happens to be the one that pays more than the others.

Yeah, and it sucks - and I think any web designer who does this is not deserving of the term "designer"

There is a lot more to "design" in web than some stupid visual trendiness ; its the entire reason we have two different phrases: UI & UX...

UX is how we experience the content, UI being how content is presented to us.

Good UI builds a good UX. Good UX builds understanding and relationship to the user's mind to the content.

I love .Net. It’s my favorite language and you can tell that it was written by competent adults that know how to design a language and the surrounding framework. I used .Net from 2007 with Windows CE/Compact Framework all the way to 2020.

That being said, I would never tell am aspiring developer, especially one with a CS degree to learn it.

Besides, Microsoft, it’s not used heavily in most companies that pay top of the market and it’s definitely not the language that I would chose to use if I had to go through a generic coding interview.

Yes, I’m well aware that most of the 2.7 million developers in the US are “enterprise developers” and many use .Net. While .Net has been cross platform for years, it’s still the choice of mostly old school Windows shops.

College seems to have ~3 uses from students' perspectives:

1. A trade school for technical professionals who actually need specialist education (scientists, engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc.)

2. A finishing school for the elite

3. A blood sports arena for the brilliant to complete for professorships (almost all of whom will lose and be saddled with 6 figures of debt and 7 figures of opportunity cost)

A lot of people have been tricked into going to general education and liberal arts college programs (the finishing school parts) without the money to pay in full under the guise of "becoming a lifelong learner" or something, and this completely cripples them in the future when they could otherwise have had great careers in fields that don't truly need the education you get from a college.

It's good that students are turning away now. The market is correcting itself.

Lego’s Turnaround Story
It likely contains lead or some other prop 65 chemical. I wish the warnings were a bit better and more contextual, but it maybe that your lawnmower turns bits of its heavy metals into dust you could breathe in, which is dangerous.

The ubiquity of prop 65 doesn’t mean the issue is with prop 65 warnings - the problem is the ubiquitous use of heavy metals and other nasty chemicals in manufacturing. Worse, most places don’t have such a warning so people have no idea.

I was in H-Mart last weekend and the amount of food with prop 65 was quite disturbing. A lot of it grown in Asia in areas with heavy lead contamination. They have no such warnings there.

Ask HN: Anyone here working at Meta on bot detection?
I just want to give you an example of the unbelievable false positives your system creates and how this ultimately hurts your bottom line.

1. Yesterday I tried to create an Instagram page for my food-related project to advertise it through social ads. I used my MacBook, my home IP within the EU and a Google workspace email address. The domain was recently acquired and has no negative history. The account name and domain are food-related and completely safe for work.

2. After entering the email confirmation code for sign up the account was immediately banned (Error message: “Something has gone wrong”). Ehhh weird. I thought it was a mistake and tried to login with the credentials I had just set.

3. The login worked and I was then asked to complete a reCAPTCHA and provide a mobile phone number. OK fine. I completed the reCAPTCHA, provided my number and entered the confirmation code. Then I was asked to upload a picture of my face and a piece of paper with the account name and another code written on it. (?!?!)

4. I also complied with this absurd inquiry and uploaded a picture of my face and a piece of paper with the account name and code written on it. 24 hours later I received an email that stated I would not be able to use this account because I didn’t upload an acceptable image. (The image was completely fine and included exactly the details Instagram had asked for!)

5. The end result: The account was permanently banned for doing… nothing. There is no way to appeal the decision. The account name that matches my domain is now taken by an account that doesn't even exist.

All in all this was the most bizarre interaction I’ve ever had with an online platform. Your bot detection seems to be totally off and produce absurd false positives. Why would you instantly ban an account on sign-up and then make the ban permanent after all the human verification requests have been completed dutifully?

I used the same email address and IP to create an account on Reddit, Pinterest, Twitter and TikTok without any issues afterwards. Permanently banning faithful actors on sign-up who are looking to buy ads might hurt your bottom line.
Right, there's a big distiction to be made here.

Knowledge that is primarily conceptual (like almost all of math) generally does not benefit from spaced repetition. The learning involved is understanding -- a new concept may be hard to understand in the first place, but once you get it, you don't really forget it. Or you just need a super-quick refresher if you haven't touched it for a few months.

While knowledge that is primarily arbitrary-factual is the perfect candidate for spaced repetition -- mainly things like vocabulary, medical terms, and so forth. Just associating a largely arbitrary name for something. And indeed they are mostly useful for learning for exams. E.g. I used it to learn Chinese characters and could never have passed Chinese class otherwise. But on the other hand when I actually lived in another country that speaks a different language, spaced repetition isn't much of a help -- you learn vocab just by absorbing it day-to-day, like a kid does.
I have CF, and it's great to see this market growing. The latest "wonder drug", Trikafta, has been a game changer.

* It eliminated most of my respiratory exacerbations - I used to have a hospital stay pretty much every spring, and haven't had any since starting it. (VERY timely, considering I started it just before the pandemic, and who knows what would have happened had I been admitted during that time)

* I also used to be underweight, and I now worry about losing weight (though gaining the weight during the pandemic was inconvenient, as for several months buying new clothes was tricky)

CF slowly irreparably damages various organs like the lungs and pancreas, and being 45, I'll never be "cured" as those systems have been effected. However, it's exciting to know that someone born with CF today may not ever experience that, but rather, just live a long normal life where they just take a few pills each day. (When I was born, I think the life expectancy was 7)

Obviously cost is an issue - it's VERY expensive. (retail $20k+ per MONTH) I have the best insurance my employer offers, and a great income, but many don't, and their copay assistance now caps out at $20k/year, so this can be a challenge. Many countries have better healthcare of course, but each new iteration of modulator (the category Trikafta falls into) tends to have a much longer approval cycle than in the US, with cost being a prime factor.
We put up mosquito traps. They emit a bit of CO2 or something like that to attract the little pests. Seems to work pretty well for us, and we still have a really healthy insect population in our yard more generally. It helps that we leave our leafs around the trees and we always cordon of a section of the lawn to leave unmowed all spring and summer.
> As in communist kitsch, rainbow identity activism’s deliberate use of cuteness blurs the distinction between childhood and adulthood. This can be valuable when consenting adults do this in order to play with identity and challenge the predetermined rules of adulthood. But it is more sinister when the purpose is to influence children.

Wow what a place to end up.

As we all know children would never dream of playing with identity or challenging predetermined rules - their poor innocent pure naieve minds could never conceive of such adult matters, and could never consent to that kind of play. Surely any instances that seem to show the opposite are the result of insidious indoctrination into the cult of rainbow identity activism.

It’s pretty telling that this article takes real human behavior 101 insights and chooses to build up to “queers are communists and I should know I used to be a queer communist.” This is pretty gross overall. “queer rights is just a smokescreen for leftist authoritarianism” is such a tired 4chan troll strat, it’s hard to believe anyone would even bother posting it at this point.
Isn’t that almost always true unless the format is specifically designed to take the same amount on disk and in RAM? If that’s the case I think typically it means the file on disk is larger than it needs to be. That’s because you have to convert the file to some kind of in-memory representation that’s easier to work with to manipulate it and what not which requires structure that isn’t necessary at rest.

Can you give an example where the file on disk is going to be larger than what it is in memory? Provided you’re not just reading it and working with it as an opaque binary blob.

Hold up though. Russian's massacred in one day at Praga 20,000 people. That's basically the lower estimate of the death toll from 'The Terror'. Yet I don't see historians nor pundits observe such an act as deligitimizing of Tsarist Russia in the way they often see 'The Terror' as some kind of slam dunk against The French Republicans. That kind of slaughter was just one among many perpetrated by monarchies all over Europe against people who were often not even a significant threat in any real way to the perpetrating institutions. 'The Terror' on the other hand was happening at a time when the French Republic was in fact fighting for its existence. Every power in Europe wished to see it fail. There were active conspiracies to sabatoge it. There was an active rebellion in The Vendee. The revolutionary government was loaded with people brilliant and egotistical all vying for more influence. It's not paranoia if people are actually out to get you.

I'm not defending 'The Terror' but trying to place it in context. If we are going to do history in context, we have to see it much more as part-in-parcel of the circumstances surrounding it. My point is that it is sooooooo discussed even while we jot down the political violence of other powers as mete footnotes even while being more justifiable and smaller in scope than those.
