I'm considering using it because the justfile can be anywhere in the directory tree above the point where you're running it. (This happens to be useful in certain situations like terraform env/region/stack trees. "Just" is also a command runner. While (as another person has pointed out) "make" is everywhere, "just" is easy to install.

As stated by another poster, Netscape vs MSFT was about coercing OEMs not to include competing browsers to be pre-installed on new systems. Apple could create and give away a cross platform password manager without much fear of ramifications, unless they exclude all other password managers.
Have you hiked off-road with backpack? Many are exhausted after 15km, and that's with good shoes and good backpacks.

To make it worse, a distance you can do in 1 day isn't the distance you can do every day for weeks, which has to be less. And it's always possible someone pulls an ankle or the rain comes, which will further lengthen the trip.

We're using Xstate for state management instead of Redux and the like and it fits well for this purpose - chiefly I have an idiomatic way of defining which inputs are appropriate in different contexts.

The visualizer is a major selling point - especially if I need to explain something to non-dev people or someone new to the concept.

The one downside is that building state machines is an art in and of itself and I had to throw away my first implementation in favour of something simpler once I got the hang of it.

Ruby ReDoS vulnerability in URI module (CVE-2023-28755)
It’s more complicated than that. They don’t just hold bonds that have diminished in value and are underwater, they are borrowing money through the reserve program at higher interest rates than they are collecting. It’s the exact thing that sank svb but on a much larger scale. In a normal environment they lend at a higher rate than they borrow and remit the excess to the treasury. Now they are having to borrow.

This is another interesting dynamic in the Fed’s fight against inflation because ideally they’d like to actively sell some of their portfolio to increase QT but I’m not sure they can because of the losses they would be forced to realize. This is largely why they have taken a “passive” approach to balance sheet drawdown.

For two years everyone bragged about getting 2.5% mortgages and now are loving collecting an easy 4.5% on six month bonds. But people forget there’s always someone on the other side of a trade and now that the tide is going out we are seeing exactly who they are.

Running Lustre on disaggregated storage with xiRAID
React 16 is about 5 KB uncompressed, it’s a tiny agnostic library that does very little and can be used to render to anything from a DOM to a native GUI to a dot matrix LCD screen (https://github.com/doodlewind/react-ssd1306/blob/master/docs...). Together with React-DOM it is about 100 KB, 30 KB gzipped (DOM library is bulky in part because it needs to support all of the default HTML and SVG elements). It’s not supposed to be amazing at anything except what it does, build complex or simple stuff it is up to you.

Show HN: PoachMe.dev, Reclaim Your Time
A couple of months ago, I posted about my stealth startup on HN and got a lot of friendly help and signups so I'm officially launching today to a wider audience. All of the features highlighted here are "FREE" (we just take a cut from your scheduled recruiter calls)

PoachMe.dev is your one stop shop to being paid for the time you spend with recruiters on finding a job. From the hiring manager, to the recruiter, to the HR team cutting you an offer letter, every single person in the chain is getting paid while a candidate gets to pretend their money and time and resources aren't dwindled every time they take an interview so this turns it back on it's head.

Have you ever received a random message asking for a random technology you don't have while also claiming "you're a perfect fit"? Send them a pre-composed "reply template message" from PoachMe ("Great. Please book a slot on my calendar and we can chat more about this. You'll receive my resume upon confirmation of the booking. https://bk.poachme.dev/Lazaro") so they can schedule and pay for your time. You will be surprised how many great recruiters will blatantly tell you that you are not worth your time as soon as they're asked to pony up even $100/hr while making an easy 10k for placing you at a company. If your skills have value, you can cut through the recruiter chaff and get to the recruiters who are actually easy to work with in one easy step.

After we built this core feature, we've branched out to creating a career snapshot (www.poachme.dev/#/cs/80jKqZYdBdeBd2J3uTdKIoqVgpk2) which allows you to showcase your skills in one single screen without it being a resume and have started work on a virtual business card you can update and flash unto NFC cards so you have a digital business card you can carry around with you (https://bk.poachme.dev/kBMf)

Sign up today using the following limited signup code (https://bk.poachme.dev/3MXp). Although I am sure I am able to scale this startup to any size, limiting signups is a super easy way to not get HN-hugged-to-death.

This is a tired, played out meme which is only relevant in that it strokes the ego of those who repeat it.
I think I didn't phrase my statement correctly.

Here's more clarity on what I was attempting to say: I had to understand the internal working of the reactive statements inorder to use it the right way and it took me a building a couple smaller projects to completion to get there. I believe this was because at the time I built them, I did not have enough references and projects where similar problems were tackled.

After I understood how it worked, which was about 3 to 6 months into using Svelte v3, I found it rather simple and intuitive. I've been working with Svelte for nearly 5 years overall. It did not take me 5 years to find it intuitive.
“Bags of bytes” has its own problems. If the idea of ‘character encoding’ is alien to the file system, the application layer cannot reliably show file names to users, other than as sequence of byte values. It cannot even assume 0x41 is an ‘A’, for example.

Historically, you configured your OS to match (what you thought was) the encoding used on your disk, but that starts to break when you have network disks or when users exchange floppies.

In practice, I think about every Unix/Linux file system at least assumes ASCII encoding for the printable ASCII range. How else does, for example, your shell find “ls” on your disk when you type those characters?

So, not even in Unix/Linux is a file name “a bag of bytes”

I think file systems should enforce an encoding, and provide a way for users of the file system to find out what it is.

Apple’s HFS, for example, stored explicit ‘code page’ ID so that the Finder knew, for example, to use the Apple Cyrillic encoding to interpret the bytes describing file names on disk for that disk.

The modern way is to just say file names are valid Unicode strings, with UTF-8 being the popular choice. Unfortunately that introduces the normalization problem.

Honestly, the Pharo language and environment aren't hard to learn, except that the environment seems to change with every major version. Try the Pharo By Example book. There's also probably a YT video series. Actually I've considered making one myself, or at least doing an intro video to cover some hangups that people new to it have, but at this point I'm trying to focus on the things that will make me the most money before GPT and rest render me unemployable.
Umm... this kind of reads like a list of all usecases generative AI has? I mean what else would one want to do with if than things listed there?
I was responding to your points. Is there any other specific point you want me to respond to?

Because the arguments are that you can overestimate your capabilities or be overconfident to perform better, which I agree with, but my point is that none of it is indicative that someone having generally a positive view of the world necessarily implies that they would have less grasp on reality.

I think the experiments are not evidence that one has to "delude" themselves to be positive or happy. Because the end of your post implied that there must be at least some level of delusion going on.

"calling for them to become unemployable "

Good luck with that. One common form of corruption is companies hiring public officials who helped them out.
I'm really struggling to think of what "Alep" even refers to that would trigger this. Surely not Aleppo, right?
Colonial eurocentric thought inform history studies.

Greeks were at the fringes of the ancient civilization. The Romans and the Germans were considered barbarians in contrast.

India on the other hand was the center of the ancient world, both by sea trade as well as its huge population.

The Chinese as well as the SE Asians sent their best scholars as well as royalty to study in India.

It is very much more likely that the Greeks themselves benefited from their contact with India, as did many other ancient civilizations of that time.
For my side projects I use a bash script in the style of https://github.com/adriancooney/Taskfile
I think I observed this problem recently too, but with Japanese file names.

Basically I had a Git repository and didn’t know about `git config core.precomposeUnicode`. And when the repository is synchronized to a Linux system, on the Linux side it can sometimes have 2 files with the same-looking file name but different normalizations. (Because I think ext4 doesn’t normalize Unicode?) That took me about an afternoon to fix.
One of my most valued books is A copy of dream machines/computer lib that comprises snippets from 1974 and 1987. The entries in the update were in Italics.

I asked you for evidence of this claim

"It revealed that the librarians teaching your kids are a lot more progressive about kids exploring their sexuality "

And your proof is that your kid came home once with a pride sticker, which is about gay rights, but you have redefined to mean being open sexually and sex positive which you then say you are against.

Hating gay people is the same as hating all black people and is objectively wrong

I'm pretty sure you can safely ignore a lot or most of this article. This is not my area of expertise, but from what little I understand, it miscontextualizes a lot of true facts and abuses a few words (semantics is everything) to give the wrong impression about what central banks are, how they work, what the incentives are, what metrics mean and which ones matter.

I could be wrong, but I'd wager if we had a handful of economists in the comments section they'd generally agree, but would have a much better explanation than me.
Text is a ubiquitous part of our lives, whereas Unreal Engine is utilized by a relatively smaller group of people. It seems the hype surrounding it is proportionate.

It works because they just outsorced things like defense or healthcare.

Is easy to brag about how you don't need technology when somewhere a team of extremely sophisticated machines are deployed pointing towards the sky to save the day in case that you would be bombed. An entirely independent Amish nation would be probably eaten by their neighbors or by the market in months. More people died in the Ukranian war in a year than the whole remaining Amish population.

Awesome, what was the interval that you found most comfortable/effective? (I imagine there was a lot of fine tuning)

I'm afraid Manic wouldn't help me personally because it doesn't interrupt the switches. tsr makes me stop for a second and write down the fact I'm jumping to another task. It's a tiny interruption, but occasionally it's enough to stop, make a tsn note and come back to it later. I feel this is a step in the right direction for me to stay on top of things.
that's pretty fuckin funny. Did you train it to do that?

that will largely depend on how you market yourself. most people (at least in the industry I work in -- design) will go from job to job and get hired purely based on their written experience, with just a resume and a very simple pdf portfolio.) other, like myself on the other hand, try to market themselves, for example as consultant or freelancers and in this case having a publicly available portfolio, that you can show to people and that you can drive traffic towards does greatly help with getting offers.
Not sure about the rest of Europe but in France, go to LeClerc (the hypermarket) and get one there instead of the rental chains. I assume it's because they target locals, they are a fraction of the price.
People more often talk about "4k intros" or "64k intros" to be clear (intros being size-restriced demos), often retro-people at events also but then people talk about the "C-64" in those cases (and the technologies and capabilities used is so different that it's hard to confuse the two in practice).
At least they were given the reason and a chance to respond. I'm just an infrequent, individual user and one day I got an email from Paypal that I was banned for life with my account closed and the same would happen if I tried opening any new accounts. It also banned my Zelle account for life.

Thank god I never left any money in there or it would have been stolen. And to this day I still get emails from them as if my account isn't banned, but logging in just takes me straight to the ban notice and I can't actually close it or opt-out of emails.
If you're not here to engage in good faith just say that rather than openly wasting my time.
Yet another person finding out that Paypal is sh*t. What a world where you have to worry about four random letters in your messages that may just happen to coincidentally have terrorist connotations "Alep" ffs.
When I ran a company >10 years ago we swept our Paypal account daily to mitigate this risk.
BS. That could just be done without imitating someone's voice.
Yes, crypto is fiat money just like government issued currency. The USD, though, is backed by the US (the government, military, economy, etc.) and generally monetary policy is an advantage of government issued currency.

With crypto, usually be design, you actually have zero ability to alter how it is managed. It’s even less power than your vote gives over the USD.

ALEP would be

* Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners

* association of employment and learning providers

* Aboriginal Landcare Education Program

* Acute localised exanthematous pustulosis

Seems to be the Romanian name for Aleppo too.

And of course it's 4 random letters, which if random in say 32 character code would have 28 attempts to get. If those characters are letters without IOQZ it would show up once every 8000-9000 codes generated, 12k for a 24 character code.

Does anyone know what (presumably conspiracy theory) this refers to?
I live in a very small island where the main industry has been cattle (meat and milk production) for several decades. If the urine of the cows was toxic, the island would have been deserted a long time ago. It is as green as it has ever been, just lookup the Azores for some pictures.

It is true that lot feeds and industrialized cattle production create massive amounts of pollution but so does industrialized agriculture. The problem is on the how and not on the what (see Joel Salatin for a good example).
that being said, I personally am not at a point where I get a lot of offers just through my website, I find that LinkedIn is still the no. 1 tool when it comes to networking with potential clients, but I'm continuing to improve and see what others -- that do mainly get clients from just them visiting their portfolio -- are doing differently.
> To be fair, it might not be more easy ( that I have zero knowledge of ).

Oh, it's definitely more involved. Because we went from rather low expectations like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq5ydeWWr4A to 4k highly detailed fluid animations where even individual hairs are simulated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNMeTMBWipE&list=PLgHd8hNRbl... :)

Or scenes like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhc3CinJHYY where you have multiple CG characters fully immersed into a scene with multiple human actors.

So it's more of "while it's definitely easier and cheaper to produce, the amount of work and detail that is now expected has gone up exponentially". I'm always reminded of this when I see VFX breakdowns for TV series like tis one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxTNhNe6Fbc

And I totally agree with your breakdown of costs :)
The article yes, many people use linux,osX or BSD though so some productions using them pop up from time to time even if the majority is windows based. Some people do 64k's (or 40k's) for old Amiga computers also but those have other constraints so generated meshes aren't as popular.
Software exists over time. There is no “successful” unless you account for future bugs.

I do believe LLM code generators can be used with good results. I just know that for me that way is slower and more painful, because I need to switch between creative mode (when I make stuff) and debugging mode (when I need to figure out how someone else’s stuff works). I find keyboard typing speed is usually not what slows me down the most…

Doesn't exhaustive cataloging explain much of this for human artifacts?

A relatively mundane "object" might result in a large number of separately cataloged objects, e.g. every ring and necklace in a jewelry box cataloged separately.
Here in Finland we have generous paternity leave that people aren't afraid to use, yet birth rates are very similar to Japan. IMO it's partially cultural, but also lack of stability in employment, having to spend too many years studying useless degrees and expensive housing (compared to wages) in cities contribute.
But they certainly are not vegan.
Obviously we need communism to fix the weather. Give up your car, your meat, your vacations, limit your indoor heating and for Christ sake, don't have kids (not that you Gen-Zs had that option anyways ..).

Scientists (TM) and the private plane travelling climate circus are sure that this will cause the temperature in the year 2100 to be reduced by a whole one hundredth of a degree.

Climategate emails (IPCC):

"It seems that a few people have a very strong say, and no matter how much talking goes on beforehand, the big decisions are made at the eleventh hour by a select core group.

Is it true that only climate sceptics have political interests and are potentially
biased? If not, how can we deal with this? How should we deal with flaws inside the climate community? I think, that "our" reaction on the errors found in Mike Mann's work were not especially honest.

All these decisions about IPCC chairs and co-chairs are deeply political

I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow - even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is !

Today the Guardian reveals how Jones withheld the information requested under freedom of information laws. Subsequently a senior colleague told him he feared that Jones's collaborator, Wei-­Chyung Wang of the University at Albany, had "screwed up".

The apparent attempts to cover up problems with temperature data from the Chinese weather stations provide the first link between the email scandal and the UN's embattled climate science body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as a paper based on the measurements was used to bolster IPCC statements about rapid global warming in recent decades.
