bike thefts happen in the Netherland (once I saw a 50+ year old guy walking around inspecting bikes in a student neighbourhood + multiple bike thefts in that area). Also in Bulgaria where I am from :) but I can't say where it happens more or what the chances are.
I'm on Mastodon, but I find the experience extremely frustrating. The UI has all the annoyances of Twitter's (which I also dislike), and more besides. It's a fun enough place to mess around and post throwaway jokes, but using it for anything serious would be a mistake: federation means that often only some of the posts in a given thread make it to your server, so often bits of a conversation are silently missing. This can lead to all kinds of miscommunication, misunderstanding, unintentional offence, and talking at cross purposes. It is, to my mind, a massive design flaw.

(The fact that most servers have a fairly low character limit for posts, but allow chaining posts together to make threads is another problem, inherited from Twitter. It's harder to write; it's harder to read. It's harder to read even if all the posts in a chain federate to your server, which they may not. Individual posts in the middle of a chain may surface on the timeline out of context and make no sense. The entire structure is ridiculous, irritating, and pointlessly difficult to use.)
No, the stuff you make should also be free. Yet somehow, you should be paid a lot of money for it anyway. Probably from investors channeling Saudi oil money.
>you will not kill someone if you ride after a night drinking;

You may, especially that ebikes are hella fast. Dont ride after alcohol.

In my country you would lose car license if they caught you driving a bike while drunk
Yes. Honda, Toyota, and Ford drivers have complained to me about it.
don't drink and bike, it's dangerous.
And then we can all go to McDonald's and order something off the million-dollar menu!
Eh. Twenty years living in Baltimore has done a real number on my good-hearted naïveté, but that's not at all the same as saying I can no longer be played for a sucker.
This is really cool! Now being robotic is not gonna be viewed as rigid and uninspired but quite the opposite.

ChatGPT is the most exciting tool since the internet. I’m glad that, at least in this case, it’s being used for something enriching and fun.
What percentage of the files on Zippyshare were legal?
The profit motive in question is the motive to fill your screen with shitty, laggy, possibly dangerous ads. Have you visited your local newspaper's website, or a fandom property, lately?

Once enough people do that, the users install adblockers, which also hurts advertisers who were not filling your screen with shitty, laggy, possibly dangerous ads.
Oh, I'm not against advertising, and never claimed to be.

Nothing wrong with people or companies letting me know about things they are selling that I might even like.

But a) the majority of advertising we see for big companies is not needed and b) my point still stands that if you can't make money except through web ads, you don't have a solid business model.
I don’t spend my free time learning. Once I’m not learning useful resume building skills on my job, it’s time to change jobs.

I’m not saying that I’ve never worked “overtime” to do what would have been 8 hours worth of work for someone who knows what they are doing.
The interesting thing is that I pay for some services directly in order to avoid advertisements, the big one being email. Did zippyshare even offer a paid tier? I could see myself paying for a file hosting site that did not feed ads to me or the people downloading the files.

I'm glad to see more push back against ads and the toxic ecosystem that it brings with it.
FWIW, I don't think this is specific to CS. I've noticed similar patterns interviewing Master's degree candidates in other math/science disciplines. It begs the question what are these schools teaching kids? It could be that what you (or me) consider foundational is actually not... Which in turn means that interviewing tactics may need to change to evaluate candidates on their ability to learn or execute - as opposed to what they actually know.

I never understood where the idea came from that if pages are authenticated, then SSR isn't needed. Maybe because people think the only benefit is SEO. The biggest benefit is performance. SSR is still great to have behind authenticated pages, to improve load times. eg multiple tabs, continuing sessions, etc. There are countless examples of sites that usr SSR + CSR + Auth - Netflix, Github...
While I am sure there are lots of independent city kids, I really don't think they are independent the way country kids are.

Sure, we had to drive to more play dates and the closest kids who are actually our neighbors live almost a mile away. However, my kids and really most kids in my community safely ride and play alone in a manner that might get city parents arrested. These kids help manage active herds and flocks.

Sure, our community relies on external energy that we take for granted, just like city folk rely on food and water they take for granted.

I don't get your social security check point/dig though. Do you believe there are somehow fewer recipients of such services in cities? I personally know a guy who refuses his social security on principle.

While I know rural schools can have funding issues, I know our public schools are well funded and we don't end up getting our per-student fair share of state funding as our system is well capitalized. As far as quality goes, I don't think there is any question that city schools are craptacular when compared to suburban and rural schools.
Congestion charge makes car ownership easier in that area it is pretty cash anyways. The land is so valuable that you rather fit other things than cars there, e.g. apparments with even more people.
you sit in a car as well
Yeah, this is the tradeoff. As someone living in a metro area of similar size, you will be disappointed if you're used to bigger cities. There's less of everything: diversity, food, entertainment, everything. The CoL is about the only benefit. If the suburban homeowner lifestyle appeals, I agree with GP that that's the sweet spot. If that doesn't appeal, do. not. bother.

Surprised something as fundamental as search uncorrupted by advertising isn't, on principle, worth paying for.

It's worth telling friends and family: stop being the product sold to advertisers, start paying companies that serve users.
I'd love to see fewer cars and more bicycles. That said, at least in the US and in SF in particular, I've encountered way more blatant violations off traffic laws by bicyclists. There were so many times I had to jump back from an intersection where I had a green light as a pedestrian because a bicyclist decided to race through at full speed. They probably thought it was safe, but I certainly felled endangered.

In the defense of bicyclists, I think a lot of this happens because the laws and roads aren't properly taking bicyclists into account. Stuff like bicycle lanes at the end of the block also becoming turn lanes for cars should just be unacceptable and provokes conflict between drivers and bicyclists.
That was pretty much the world before mass social media. Most forums were human moderated and you can be banned for just being a jerk. Moderators are most of the time pretty good at interpreting nuance, tone and intention.
I think the joke works in both cases, really... despite the fact that the city of london is what, half a mile wide?
I'm not very active here, but I've had a personal site since 1995 and my main domain since 1996. I started blogging on LiveJournal in 2002. I installed WordPress on my site shortly after it was released (2006 or so, I think?). I have the LiveJournal entries in the WordPress blog now. I have another site now, too, where my professional information lives.

I've gotten several consulting gigs and met some lovely people because of my sites. I got my current job because an executive ran across one of my sites, then tracked me down on LinkedIn. That's the second one I've gotten because of them.
To start, yes, I agree with all the rest of the comments. Of course if you look at the action needed to start within the 1.5 degree carbon budget, it's simply impossible. It's kind of like saying how much better humanity would be if there were no wars - a nice thought, but also not going to happen.

I'm curious, though, and I admit I haven't read the report, but what is it about 1.5 degrees that the scientific community sees as so critical. Is that the temp after which positive feedback loops take over and it becomes a "runaway train", so to speak (e.g. less ice results in less albedo and more warming, which causes less ice). I just want to understand why that number was chosen to represent such a critical point.

And since it's obvious we are not going to make that limit, what are the additional consequences of hitting 2 or 3 degrees of warming?

Edit: To the downvoters, please take a look at https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions. Global CO2 emissions have simply skyrocketed since 1950. The only year they didn't go up was 2020 - remember that year we had a pandemic that shut down much of the world for months and months on end. And still, despite all the stoppage of activity, there was just a small blip down in CO2 emissions. I don't understand how any sane person can look at this graph and believe that 1.5 is attainable. Remember, we don't just have to flatten this graph, we need to bring it all the way back down to 0. I do think alternative energy technology will eventually get us there, but certainly not in 15 years, all across the world.
But what is "The Left"? People arguing about politics on Mastodon? "Instrument(s) of control in the service of the few," seriously? What control do such people even have, outside of a Mastodon instance that people can just...not use? It's such grandiose language for such a petty complaint.

If you want to talk about instruments of control in the service of the few, how about we talk about the forces that keep healthcare expensive and poorly distributed in the U.S.? Or are working to ban books and art performances in Florida (and elsewhere)? How about the instruments of control that have been invading Ukraine for over a year? These seem much more tangible and consequential than moderation decisions on a website no one has to use. Perspective is very important, lest we fall into the false equivalency trap.

The instruments of control are distributed in a very lopsided manner, to my eyes. "The Left is CONTROLLING PEOPLE on Mastodon" doesn't really cut it. If you don't the policies of one instance, join a different one. Or make your own, and you can make your own policies. You can decide what level of control you want on the social media you choose to interact with. And if some instances have rules you don't like? My advice would be, ignore those instances and don't worry about their rules. They only affect you if you allow them to.
Their CRO should have told them this was a risky strategy, or how to hedge interest rate risk. Ooops, they've been without a CRO since Q2 2022.
I havent read it all but it doesnt seem to be about entrepreneurs but about innovators. Big difference. If I had to guess, innovators must be misfits whereas entrepreneurs must rather be fiting. So they dont make bombs in kindergarten, they win the class elections.
<< just like other countries have.

I moved from the old country partly cuz of Lèse-majesté laws regarding ruling elite and clergy. Forgive me, but other countries having X type laws does not automatically constitute a valid argument to enact anything similar here. I now personally see it as an indirect way to circumvent original framework of this country having failed to do it directly.

In short, I am going to use a very, very old argument. If everyone jumped off of a bridge, would you do it too?

<< is more free when it's not stifled by hate.

Fascinating statement and I would love you to elaborate further, because to me it is contradictory.

Freedom of speech is called freedom of speech for a reason. It is not called freedom with asterisk to account for other person's perception of your communication. That is not freedom. It is the opposite of freedom. Frankly, what you are proposing inevitably results in an echo chamber. It is cool if that if it is what you want. It is not what I want.

You seem reasonable. I am willing to engage. Convince me 'free speech' is more free when it is restricted.
Let me know if you got it working. I'm looking for such a thing too!

Maybe stripping the styling and Javascript from webpages would work? Did you do the OCR as part of the complete model or did you make it a separate step? Machine learning is usually much better in one step.
> Now I feel obliged to work even harder to make a few million dollars out of it before I'm 35.

35-year-old here, with a similar box of CS knowledge floating around. Comfortably sub-million, but with a nice house and a couple dogs.

You really aren't obliged, and you don't really need to "make some money" out of it. More money would be nice, don't get me wrong. But you said you learned it because you enjoyed it. Which I did, too. I got my money's worth out of the learning.

You are not obligated to financialize everything you enjoy. It's super important to understand that.

The mortgage anxiety--I get that too. YMMV, but for me, all it took was practice. I don't think about the mortgage on my house. I've owned it for about five years. The money goes out every month. I work on renovating a room or building some furniture or going for a walk with my dogs. It need not be a terrifying specter; it'll either get paid in due course or I'll die and won't have to worry about it.

I think there are a lot of brains (and mine is definitely one) wired to make a bigger deal of things than necessary to provide a sense of direction and meaning, but this one is so abstract and so luck-based that, for me at least, it was deeply valuable to fight against it. I kicked it into the back of a closet, and for me it's a lot easier now to just live.

Again, YMMV.
The IPCC sadly had to accommodate economists, and they went one to do what economists do. However they got cordoned off in a separate section. Of course economic growth of Pakistan has been severely impacted by the floods they recently got, but hey what's evidence and anyway, it's all just a far away 'stan, right?
The hard science sections tell it like it is, then the growth of GDP can be gamed in oh so many ways, maybe a beach that survived +2 warming and still looks good is worth visiting to the tune of 1000 more in $/vacation-day, right? Well then here is your GDP boost right there, all you got to have is someone still able to afford the 1000...
One of the interesting things with with programming as field is that 2x-10x productivity gains are _common_. New abstractions and tools regularly allow people and teams to build more, quickly. The goalposts of what is expected to be delivered, and the complexity of systems expands to fill the time available to software development teams, but they are delivering more, especially if you step back and look at things on any given 10-20 year timespan. So Codex will provide big productivity boosts, but so do moving to C from assembly, or Ruby on Rails, or react vs jquery-spaghetti. Open-source and commercial APIs extend this further, especially when interacting with things like money or the physical world.
I used to cycle daily and as far as maintenance went, it was mostly: bike tyres once a year, valves, chain lubricant, bike repair toolbox (purchase once), drum brake maintenance. All in all it would be about £100 per year on average and I'm being generous.

I've never owned a car, but the cost of replacing a lost bike (mine cost around £600) plus its maintenance (let's say £200 per year to be generous) sounds cheaper than what I'd pay for car insurance, petrol, and maintenance per year in UK/Europe. I also live in London where public transportation, even with its aging infrastructure, is wonderful.

I'd definitely get a car if I was living outside of a big relatively city, especially if it isn't planned for walking and cycling.

Show HN: Open-source cypress for back end testing
For the past few months we’ve been building a simple jest/typescript-based high-level language for writing and running integration tests. We're open-sourcing it now and are excited to share it with you: https://github.com/traceloop/jest-opentelemetry

Why we built this:

- There are many solid frameworks for FE / browser testing, but none with high-level constructs for testing BE flows

- We were missing a way to validate side effects for complex backend systems, especially across async queueing systems

Our beta version lets you send an API call to a system and then:

- Validate (=assert) calls to any downstream microservice in REST and GRPC

- Validate queries/writes to DBs

Assertions are validated through the use of OpenTelemetry, as we see it as an easy-to-use way to observe how backend systems behave.

We’re still early so would love your feedback and opinions.

It's all open-source with Apache 2.0 license.

I think you misread GP: he's saying that in inner London it's difficult to have a car, not to avoid having one, mostly because parking space is very limited.

What exactly are you interested in, about life such cities? I live in Amsterdam, haven't owned a car for over a decade (which doesn't mean that I never drive one), and haven't really missed it (even with a primary school aged child).
> Let's commit to maintaining complete confidentiality about the company—no exceptions. If you can't handle that, then just leave.

It's like a teacher dressing down the entire class for something one student did. A single person at the company made this fireable offense. Why is he treating the rest of them like naughty children? Especially since he's so sure he'll be able to catch the guilty party. Catch the person who did it, send a professional email to the rest of the company reminding them that leaking confidential info will get you fired. Treat the adults in your company like adults.
> You can generally sniff the LPC bus to the TPM.

Yes, quite, which is why it's important to use encrypted sessions to the TPM.

> Even with TPM2.0+ that allows optional encryption on the transport layer, Windows dosn't bother using it.

They really really should.

> But I was referring more to a malicious software component between the data flow between the user interface and the TPM, even before the TPM's protocol stack is in the loop.

For something like bitlocker or bitwarden you really need the unlock step to happen so early in boot (or wake) that the only vulnerabilities present are those in the blessed firmwares and kernel that you're running. Once you have the OS fully booted the possibility of executing malicious code that intercepts the UI to the TPM is just too great indeed.
People who dick around like that in a car find themselves in jail really quickly. People who do it on a bike wave self-righteously at the police while flagrantly violating the law, and get away with it.
People aren’t getting thousands in debt to be a “better citizen of the world”. They are doing so because they haven’t found a way to get over their addiction to food and shelter and college should help them earn money to support their addiction.
Indeed. Though to be fair, having a bike is so much cheaper than a car that even if it did get stolen it'd still be cheaper to replace it than run a car.
That plum job listing may just be a ghost
The biggest point I want to make us that that cult narrative isn't just people mistaking what they read about LLMs. That narrative started with how LLM authors write about LLMs.

An LLM is not a language model, it is a text model. An LLM does not lie, it provides whatever continuation happens from modeling the prompt into the training corpus; with no notion of truth or fact. An LLM does not invent novel behaviors to solve patterns, it finds patterns that were already in the text that humans consider novel.

Practically everything I have just said is in conflict with how LLMs are presented by their authors. That's where the cult narrative is rooted.

It's a bad idea, but orders of magnitude less of a bad idea than drunk driving. People ditching cars means less drunk driving (even if it means more drunk cycling), as well as less road deaths in general. That can only be a good thing.
Raw is a protocol type in the socket api allowing the application to send and receive arbitrary packets (e.g. not packets generated by the system's TCP implementation).
Did you put theft under the wrong heading?

I've had many bikes stolen and everyone I know who rides has at least one bike stolen.

I've never had anything stolen from my car and no issues with car theft, and I don't know anyone who has had their car stolen.

I've met two people in my life who have had items stolen from their car, and in both cases they left their car unlocked.
I can't see any way that I can save information on your service and have it inaccessible to the admins, especially if the note will be sent as a PDF to the registered recipients.
