Below (above?), I answered why I have to hold back. I'm working with a designer, who can't devote as much bandwidth to the project as can I. I have to wait on him.

It's all good. I spend extra coding time, doing things like testing, and adding animations (what I'm working on, today).

This is HN. People brag here, like crazy. The main difference seems to be that it's usually "LinkedIN bragging," or "humblebragging."

I'm not really into humblebragging. I find it rather creepy and dishonest, quite frankly, and I won't do it.

There's a lot of stuff that I'm really good at, and a lot more stuff that I'm not good at. I don't hide either.
okay, this doesnt sound good. Now lets remember back to the era of incompatible rootkits where windows gamers were reinstalling windows weekly because they wanted to play different incompatible games. Of course some bought multiple harddrives and had several installations concurrent.

Which is worse? :)

> The downside is that you may get a weird bug and only after a while see that you accidentally overwrote a function parameter and the Rust compiler didn't even warn you about it.

If you “overwrite” a function parameter without using it, the compiler will warn you of an unused variable.

If you “overwrite” a function parameter because you’re converting it, it’s a major use case of the feature.

> I honestly don't know why this isn't set by default.

Because the author of the match can’t necessarily have that info e.g. if you match on `Result<A, B>` but `B` is an uninhabited type (e.g. Infallible), should the code fail to compile? That would make 95% of the Result API not work in those cases. Any enum manipulating generic types could face that issue.

IIRC it was originally a hard error, and was downgraded because there were several edge cases where compilation failed either on valid code, or on code which was not fixable (for reasons like the above).

I haven’t seen a bsod in over 15 years on any of the 4 personal or handful of work machines I’ve used in that time. Last one I can even remember seeing was in Vista and it was from legit hardware failure. Can’t remember the last time I was forced to reboot either. It’s been suggested plenty, but ignored without issue.

As a mostly Linux user, I disagree. You simply can't replace Windows with Linux, at least not in the near future. Here is a page which summarize Linux shortcomings on the desktop: https://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.t...

One reason I think Linux (the kernel) would be a poor fit as a Windows replacement is the lack of a stable driver ABI. Linux is a monolithic kernel and all the drivers are expected to be part of it. It is a model that works because it fully embraces open source and community driven development. But not all manufacturers want that, first because they may not want to, open their code, or maybe they can't due to licensing arguments. It also means they need to invest significant resources into getting their code accepted by the community. The Windows driver model drove its rich hardware ecosystem. And if you think switching to a Linux driver model is going to be better, more free, think again, because we already have that with Android. Manufacturers fork the kernel and don't give much back to the community, just having them comply with the GPL is a struggle, and hardware support besides what is built into the phone is extremely limited, and because they don't work with the community, support for what's in the phone isn't carried on for more than a couple of years.

And Windows really strong point is backwards compatibility. For example, I still use the "free" Photoshop CS2, 20 years later, works perfectly fine as a binary, I can run stuff that dates back from the 3.11 era, though as I understand it, it is mostly emulation at this point. This is part of the reason people use Windows. Microsoft tried to start clean with Windows RT, it was a failure. Apple can get away with it because they have complete control over their ecosystem, not Microsoft.

Also, games.
Note that the use of curl for the upgrade is on purpose: if the user had a old copy of github-keygen made with `git clone` and the remote is configured using SSH, a `git remote update && git rebase` would not work because of the revoked SSH key. So, in this case, I consider that curl over https is safer as long as your curl version is recent and your local repository of TLS certificiates is up to date.
Yeah, but it's kinda like making business software. Most working people need to do boring work to sustain their lifestyles.

I hope that these task-specific implementations of AI can reduce the tedium in these fields, like the way PCs did. Certainly, this advancement is leading to the ability for practically anyone to program a computer, in the general sense. Things will shift, but there will be opportunities to exploit those abilities for personal gain.
Is this an alternative to needing Remarkable’s Connect service subscription?… Because needing Connect to sync notes off my tablet pretty much killed any desire to buy a remarkable 2 … and I voted with my wallet on it too… I bought a PineNote eink tablet instead (I hope this will eventually be a useful tablet… but I’m not holding much hope given my experience with various Linux distros on the first generation PineTab…)
If the machine is that clever I would worry about other things. You definitely wouldn't need to ask anything of it anymore.

Besides maybe.. "make all these entrepeneurial types obsolete." Poof!
Exactly. The 250k limit is clearly meant to ensure individuals don't have to fear bank runs. Saying companies should split accounts so that they all remain close to 250k is clearly a hack that goes against the intent of the law.

I think the government should reserve the right to haircut large depositors in cases where there is serious negligence or malfeasance, so it makes sense to have the limit. But it's also a good idea not to do that in cases of mere incompetence, like here.

The alternative is to do like Canada and basically keep around a handful of big banks and make it illegal for them to acquire each other (to avoid further concentration). We don't have to rescue them basically ever... but if we did it would be abysmally expensive. And customer service is garbage.
chatbots are not all that similar to ICBMs. Information warfare exists in an ecosystem where individuals have a huge amount of control over what gets in or out - defenses to malicious information can't be overwhelmed the way an ICBM overwhelms physical defenses, they have to be subverted. How hard they are to subvert is a function of prior information the target has had. Therefore, more asymmetry makes us more vulnerable.
You couldn’t even install an app on the first iPhone! (It’s a bit chicken and egg anyway - better get some hardware out so developers can build for real users)
They never formally joined the Eurozone to begin with, they just allow the Euro to circulate and accept it for payment. It's not even legal tender there, in theory. The integration issues are more to do with how the banking systems of formally Eurozone integrated countries are wired up to the ECB and how countries come to rely on it for "liquidity" (money printing to pay for expensive large government).

Also note that the EU don't like Montenegro using the Euro and tolerate it only because it's tiny/doesn't matter.

It's a self-hostable chat interface for the OpenAI GPT API.

From their Github Readme:

SlickGPT allows you to run your own local ChatGPT instance, host it yourself or just use our instance if you like. Users bring their own OpenAI API keys. SlickGPT offers them a very fancy user interface with a rich feature set like managing a local chat history (in the localStorage), a userless "Share" function for chats, a prominent context editor, and token cost calculation and distribution.

Don't give me this of all time nonsense. Rank 8 at any time is a major accomplishment. You have no idea about chess if you think it's not a huge accomplishment. And yes that's how it works, think Bayesian instead of yes/no.
Every time I go back and try Svelte I get put off by the $ paradigm for this reason: it's less explicit than React or Angular (rxjs). The Svelte 'state' kind of stands in as an observable, but simply managing a UI plus reactive state is already difficult, so I find the hand-wavey "reactive code block" to only add to the confusion and side effects.

Headline is misleading. Waterbears are quite fragile, albeit tougher than most. I bought some and found nearly all would die after short exposure to low vacuum. Manuscripts seem to corroborate our findings. It is the exaggerated headlines that lead me to believe they are indestructible.
Some parts of the Zig syntax reminds me of the old K&R style function declaration, that seemed absurd and was replaced at some point, but it was released, used in production and defended for a while.

There is often a strong rationale behind clumsy syntax decisions, I hope they will fix those quirks.

I would like to share my favourite post from one of the mentioned subs - SysAdmin

https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/6fborr/a_typical_...

OP is a well known hardass, prone to Sunday evening whiskey-fuelled rants but he's summarised why i stopped coming to the forum a few years ago.

Not sure what the mods have done with it since.... Its best use at the time was for day one Microsoft update breakages and backbone internet outages, if you were willing to pick though all the rant/helpdesk posts.
The image AIs are much more capable too, and I find it interesting that every technically inclined person used to always make fun of those “enhance” moments in TV shows and movies where they would zoom into some area of a photograph or security footage.
The fact that now this is actually possible (to some extent at least) is pretty wild.
I guess that time keeping could go crazy if you don't signal the OS to suspend or something like that. I remember some instances (years ago) where a VMWare live migration would make a VM clock jump or do something weird, and the guest OS would... "get scared".
>r/Conspiracy 1.9 million

>The Conspiracy subreddit is a thinking ground. There are no any jokes, but issues which have captured the public's imagination, from JFK and UFOs to 9/11. The community is intended free thinking, not hate speech.

Hasn't that one turned into a conservative shithole?
Heart rate? Go a step further and consider you can track discrete people with these things. Like walk in front of one and it can build a unique tracking profile of you and track you as an individual. The profiles (I've been told) can be as unique as a fingerprint.
Yeah no wonder, since people behind OpenAI and ChatGPT are far right proto-fascist nuts it is obvious what the bias will be. I guess especially when more people get hooked into this more and more pro far-right ideological propaganda will be inserted into responses and people will just take it uncritically just as how they now use those tools. Very dangerous for democracy and open society.
I think the idea of an extensible copyright is not to allow some people to maintain the monopoly for longer than normal but to have a mechanism for things to enter the public domain earlier if the authors are no longer interested in distributing the works themselves but mainly use the copyright to stifle others.

This way you can set the base copyright duration shorther than you could otherwise without people complaining that some works take a while to become profitable.

That said, I agree that it isn't neccesarily the best idea is it predominantly benefits the already well off who can better afford to gamble on the copyright extension fees.

Personally I think zero copyright is probably the best since society benefits from sharing and remixes from day one. Look at how quickly memes propagate and consider if copyright was actually enforced there. Now consider if the could have the same creative mobility for the kinds of works where copyright is enforced.

But I also don't see zero copyright as attainable within my lifetime as it would upend so many business models. Shorter copyrights (with or without extensions) are much more realistically attainable as for most copyright holders it might change the equation a bit but won't require them to immediately overthink their funding.
Lots of quirky stuff in the same time period. Like the 487. Marketed as a math coprocessor for the 486sx, meaning it was supposedly the same idea as the 387, 287, etc. But it wasn't that. It was a full on 486DX that disabled your installed 486SX and took over.
> If I want to build an alternative to TurboTax, how much can AI help?

The alternative would be built to help users leverage AI to do their taxes. Upload your docs and it’ll get you 90% of the way there or something like that. AI will help developers build that alternative faster. Almost every piece of software will need to be reimagined from the ground up in this way. That is the job security
The richer would be the ones that do things on their livefeed that attract people. Do you want politicians orgies? Because that's how you get politicians orgies. The poorer politicians would be the perfectly honest and completely boring ones, not a great way to encourage honesty.

India's high-stakes exams are also plagued by cheating.[1]

So just because someone ostensibly "passed" an exam doesn't mean they actually did.

Of course, India's education system is far from the only one where cheating is rampant, which is just one reason to look on credentials and accolades everywhere with a skeptical eye.

MacOS doesn't have the issues that you've described while giving you many of the same tools Linux has, in addition to support for most mainstream windows software.

And while macOS isn't as free as Linux, it's certainly less "spyware" than windows.
Everything under the Sysadmin section is either memes or ranting.

I've been building a medium-scale web application that works as a configurator for 3D models (swapping objects/changing materials) and parsing/storing/syncing those configurations in real-time along with images, and a lot of metadata that needs real-time updates.
To be honest, it's a breeze until it's not, my single file gets very long, lots of declarations, $: reactive = another reactive variable, derived stores, the dependency graph can get really deep really quickly and it's very important to maintain a sort of heading, and plan ahead, because you can really lose yourself building with Svelte because of how little boilerplate there is.

Even then, 100% recommend it, documentation, and existing issues are sometimes lacking and information is hard to come by, but the Discord is helpful, even though it takes a lot of searching their "forums". Have great hopes for its' future, and it's really fun to build tools in Svelte, I remember giving all my Network Security assignments (transposition cipher, DES/AES, KDC) a nice, clean reactive front-end showing intermediate states of the data being passed around even though a simple cpp file would've sufficed, just because of how fun it's to use Svelte.
And, in any case, publishing an interesting but incomplete finding gives others the chance to pick up where this leaves off.

>Another factor that can play here is that servicemen have probably better healthcare than the average population especially when it comes to preventative healthcare and checkups.

Assuming that it is somewhat similar to the navy, the catastrophic and chronic stuff is very well covered (and no cost), but general screenings and physicals are no-value-add with a significant component of psychological harm.

USA and European university rankings have a strong bias against universities in the Global South (especially India), in part because of the stigma against Indian programmers and in part because they're generally wanting to promote US and European universities as the global leaders. If you're going to disparage a university based on nothing but ranking lists run by USA and Europeans, you're missing out.

Interesting post. I have bookmarked it. I’m probably going to check out the software gore one for a few mins just to make myself feel sick.

Unrelated, but despite not programming in C or C++ in several years, I have always enjoyed reading PVS Studio blog posts as I come across them. It is fun to think about static/dynamic analysis (I actually am not sure where the line is) and language design.
My personal theory: if people even had the remotest inkling that the insurance would fail, then it is next to useless. The point of it is to prevent the majority of people from inciting a bank run since they know for sure that their money is safe. It's a bit of weird game theory.

There is no equivalent to a bank run risk on SS/Medicare so why put it in. Putting it in also means that these programs could cause massive inflation if the US Gov had to print money to finance them.

I think the comments just make another proof that the OP assertion was correct and also that we live in a Wild West industry. One day, I hope there will be a much more standardised way of doing things properly, perhaps caveated with "more secure + more work" vs "Simple and OK secure".

At the moment, there are too many strong opinions about 100 different "best" ways to do things leaving most of the rest of us just using whatever is easiest to find on Google rather than what the industry has discussed and approved.

> so playstation isnt a perfectly good gaming console because it doesnt run all games including those that only come for xbox?

There are games made for xbox. On Linux, the story is sadly that you are basically trying to mostly bend games made for windows to work on Linux. It's not the same to the xbox vs playstation situation.
I completely switched to Linux the first time since 2006 because Windows is just way to slow or distracting now. Windows 10 worked okay for a while, but I don't want the random crashes, tabloid news and slow file navigation of Windows 11. Fedora Workstation GUI sometimes crashes, but productivity wise it is so much better and everything works. Software wise I only miss the google drive client, which is still not here after almost 11 years[0]. There is rclone, but I sometimes get logged out.

I don't get it. From the example on Stackblitz[0], Pinia looks pretty much like redux, only with multiple stores instead of a single one. As far as I recall, Zustand is similar. What are the advantages of these libraries over redux (especially, the modern and opinionated redux-toolkit)?

Hypotheticals like this are detached from reality.
