With how bad SO has gotten, I actually don't copy code from there anymore.
That's not something to worry about until the global population stops (rapidly) growing.
I used TropeTrainer to study for my bar mitzvah! Brings back memories. A shame it's gone now. I wonder if the source code was ever in any sort of repo online, or if it was only ever on the guy's computer, in truth.

So, speaking from an ethical standpoint - and I mean purely philosophically, not in terms of legalities - what would be wrong with reverse engineering this program and finding a way to get it running again, for those who paid for it? If it's just a matter of spoofing a couple web requests and maybe bypassing some activation checks, I suspect it could be done.
The Great Pretender
Nuxt2: The Intuitive Vue Framework
It was the people of Ukraine who overthrew him because he broke his election promise and moved to make Ukraine a vassal of Russia. That is absolutely the last thing the people of Ukraine want, so they had no choice but to overthrow him. I don't think the US had anything to do with it.

The only reason NATO says that some day Ukraine can become a member, is because Ukraine keeps asking about it. Constantly. They desperately want to join NATO, and while they don't and didn't meet NATO's criteria, it's not impossible that some day they will, and then they can join.

And considering the consequences of not being in NATO, I think it's clear that Ukraine is absolutely justified in wanting to join NATO. Things would look very different if they had indeed joined in 2008.
Do you have any example in mind? The three "main competitors" right now are AnyCubic, Creality, and Bambu. All with their own Designs (and various levels of contributing back) that have nothing in common with Prusa appart the fact that they Do (among other models) Cartesian systems with fixed Z Bed. I don't doubt that if you scour in Aliexpress you might find some exact copies but by every measure they are not visible in the global market and are not competing with Prusa.

Do I think that we should encourage local production? Yes. At the expense of affordability for the common people? Hell no. I don't care where John Doe got his first Hobby printer and if encouraging local production comes at the expense of less people having a chance to use the technology that is a net negative.
Prusa himself Got into this business because of the affordability of the Reprap project. I Want other people to be able to dip their toes into new areas and maybe become the next Prusa, but if the entry price into the new field is equal to the monthly salary how many (and especially how many students) can afford to try and do so?
On the better handled side of this, my doctor pointed out that issue at my physical and instead of putting me on blood pressure meds he told me to get a blood pressure cuff and gave me a paper to fill out with daily readings before jumping to any conclusions.
It's deleted on submission in (I think) an effort to combat clickbait titles. Submitters can edit and re-add the "How" to titles.

The handbook which is linked is both irritating to navigate, and seemingly anemic. There are, however, hints as to their specific future funding activities, which include Offline Freecodecamp and Last Mile, with hints in the Activities section that lead me to deduce that the activities will be in the communities where Last Mile and the like work. Which is admirable. The results-focused aspect is different to any I've come across before, and I'll be interested to see if there's any future update on how they actually do.
Yeah, that's the annoying part. You get around 80% of parts that just work anywhere and rest is entirely dependant on what's underneath k8s or on what cloud it is running.

When going in I assumed there are some kind of standard way to implement ingresses/loadbalancers but no, it's just different plugins each with different syntax and features.

Hi, I just graduated in Physics (Master Degree) and I'm looking for an internship or a job lasting a few months. As a Physicist, my main abilities are describing complex systems with effective models, data analysis and numerical simulations.

I'm also open to advice on how to spend the skills I developed during my Master's Degree in Physics in the tech industry.
Chinese has quite nearly the opposite problem: compounds are so pervasive that they'll think any disyllable is a compound, identifiable morphemes or no, even if it's a phonetic loan.
There's plenty of record of him doing it, though.
Honestly, I think the generic and model views are way more impressive than the ORM or the admin. They take away all of the boilerplate usually associated with CRUD apps.
> They're also a company whose remote pay is dependent on location. So they're unwilling to pay people what they're actually worth.

They are also paying significantly less than their competitors. No wonder they are falling behind.

I have no clue what this "foundation" is, the wording is extremely vague.
"They're also a company whose remote pay is dependent on location."

What is it with companies doing this? It never made sense to me that a company would pay me more or less depending on where I lived. If I'm doing the same work why should my location matter?
I recently found myself in exactly the same position for exactly the same reason, so happy to share my experience. :)

I decided a priori to stick with email, both because I can't imagine email going away anytime soon, and also because sending an email two main benefits: (1) the content is plain text, and should remain easily readable at the destination, and (2) you get automatic "backups" in your own Sent folder.

I also wanted to avoid any free services because there's no guarantee they'll stick around, or in the case of something like Gmail, keep the account around unused. And, although I'm a really happy paying Fastmail customer for many years, a new email address on my account felt a bit _too_ expensive for just this purpose (especially since I'll eventually pay for an actual address for them).

Because I already pay $5/month for a tiny Linode instance for other purposes, I decided to self-host. Because I don't plan on having the account send any emails (the hard part of self-hosting), setup was relatively pain-free with Postfix. It took a bit of configuration and testing, but I now have an email account for my little one hosted on a subdomain which reliably receives email and stores it in plain-text on the server. Because I set things up in the Maildir format, in the future, it should be simple to also run Dovecot to provide an IMAP interface to actually get at the emails, or import them elsewhere.

I ran into a bunch of pain points throughout the learning process here that I can share, but don't have a reason to believe you'll run into them too, so I don't want to overwhelm. More than happy to get into the specifics of any part of the process if you want!
Not sure if they still make them, but some many years ago I tried out some Slime tubes that had the stuff built into the tube somehow. Not only did it not work to seal punctures, it was impossible to patch.
What doesn't it compete on? Model 3 is much quicker. Beauty is definitely subjective. I don't love the Model 3, but find the Ioniq quite ugly. They compete on price.

1976 was during the Cold War, still a decade away from fall of the Berlin Wall.

The primary function of fetal heart monitoring is for pseudoscientific use by ambulance-chasing lawyers to generate $1M-$40M (!!) malpractice payouts from ignorant juries for children born with cerebral palsy.

The saying goes: "The only thing that can prevent a birth injury is a expert witness".
I think what OP is saying is that decades-old systems wouldn't have C++11-compatible compilers on them.
But this thought process begs the question: what if this person is the one who STARTS the history of high cholesterol, and subsequent increased heart-related mortality. Or following it the other way, only people with a history of this are at risk? It is statistical: there could be a person with no history who is at risk, the probability is lower, but nonzero.
50 comments in, there should be a top level comment pointing out that the answer is "no", as stated as an update in the first paragraph of the article. So, this is that.

> Did the U.S. Air Force suffer a nuclear weapons accident at an airbase in Europe a few years back? [Update: After USAFE and LANL initially declined to comment on the picture, a Pentagon spokesperson later clarified that the image is not of an actual nuclear weapons accident but of a training exercise, as cautioned in the second paragraph below. The spokesperson declined to comment on the main conclusion of this article, however, that the image appears to be from inside an aircraft shelter at Volkel Air Base.]

So: no.

Gimlet-eyed viewers may have concluded the same thing independently, by noticing that there a couple people standing around in the background looking bored, one of them holding what may as well be a clipboard.
Reframing your question: "why doesn't your brain just see things differently?"
Yes, i've discovered, after reading more, it's not very good
Same. If you take out the “professional programmer” part it makes it sound like we’re recovering drug addicts. Is there something unique about this discipline that requires this borderline unhealthy level of focus and attention, or does it attract people with predispositions to work in this way to begin with?
Not so sure about the last line. DOS games alone eXoDOS v5 is ~500GB packed, ~600GB installed, ~1.2TB every game unpacked. Not quite SD level, but $50 dodgy Chinese 2TB SATA SSD sure. Windows up to 2000 will probably be another couple TB.
Is FastAPI still a bus factor of one? Last time I looked a year or two ago, there were quite a few “easy” unresolved PRs that could have been handled with a bigger team.

Django may be considered boring and old school, but it does so many things right that the barrier to switching is quite high.
> You would think doctors would be able to collect data and then come up with statistical tables of “hey you may have xyz.

There's a project that's attempting to collect such data on a large scale and long time span:

The purpose of Project 10K is to develop methods that will predict
diseases years before they break out.

<https://www.project10k.org.il/en>
A large array of uniquely-set floating point values. (AKA "parameters".)

In a language model, a word is put in one end (as a numerical index to a wordlist), and then it and the weights multiplied together, and then a new word comes out (again as an index).

Numbers in, numbers out, and a small bit of logic that maps words to numbers and back at either end. ("Encodings".)

"Training" is the typically expensive process of feeding huge amounts of data into the model, to get it to choose the magic values for its weights that allow it to do useful stuff that looks and feels like that training data.

Something else that can be done with weights is they can be "fine-tuned", or "tweaked" slightly to give different overall results out of the model, therefore tailored to some new use-case. Often the model gets a new name after.

In this case, what's been released is not actually the weights. It's a set of these tweaks ("deltas"), which are intended to be added to Meta's LLaMA model weights to end up with the final intended LLaMA-based model, called "Vicuna".

> I'm making the claim that software as a workaround to sound risk mitigation is dangerous

Mechanical systems aren't inherently better or more resistant to hidden flaws. Remember it was a failure of the mechanical AOA sensor that initiated the MCAS failure.

> Software, in either case, shouldn't be a workaround solely because it's easier to implement than a hardware change.

Software runs our world now. Mechanical computers on airplanes were around for decades before software, and they were hardly free of fault and problems.
Which is why the GP is so useful IMO. Maybe they could be replaced with a nurse though. The administrative assistant matches their referral with someone in my network. You need that medical profession somewhere in the chain, otherwise people browsing insurance websites for in network providers just aren't qualified to decide if they need to see an orthopedist or a podiatrist or a physical trainer for example.
Programmer interrupted: The cost of interruption and context switching (2022)
That's what they say but I just spent 10 minutes searching the git repo, reading the relavent .py files and looking at their homepage and the vicuna-7b-delta and vicuna-13b-delta-v0 files are no where to be found. Am I blind or did they announce a release without actually releasing?

Correct, the (dumb, cheap) devices within the network have an easy time. The devices on the edge can have a lot of work to do, potentially popping multiple labels. And then there's a bunch of meta labels that have other meanings (I'm not actually sure if those are standardised or not).
You might want to look into HTMX (https://htmx.org/). It's very popular in the Django community.
SEEKING WORK | Massachusetts, USA | Remote (occasional on-site possible)

Skills: Generalist full-stack developer with 10 years experience. I have an MS in Computer Science. Currently working on a PhD focusing on machine learning with IoT/mobile health applications.

Technologies I use most: PHP (especially Laravel), Rails, Python (Django as well as pandas), R, SAS, JavaScript (I have React and React Native experience), Bash, and SQL. I'm a fast learner if you have an unusual stack.

I have experience writing tutorials/documentation and love helping out with hiring.

I work nights and weekends (New York time), but can make availability any time with a little notice. I prefer working on smaller, self-contained projects with new clients.

In America we also (mis)use blood pressure machines. I'd better quality or used correctly, they're usually ok. However, I've had nurses just crank the thing up to 200. No shit it's going to be high - it cut off my circulation for 90 seconds while it climbs all the way up and then all the way down. I can feel my pulse increase in force trying to get blood to my numb arm. Let's be lazy and let the machine do everything for us.

"More and more i find that, at least in America, if you're talking to a GP you're just talking to a human interface of insurance approved treatment algorithms."

I largely agree, although from a slightly different angle. Many newer doctors just read from their Epic WebMd equivalent and record your answers. I assume it's so they don't get sued.
For me it's a different issue. To me, Developer Tools are very personal, and I've come to view using non-free IDEs as a waste of time in the long-run. If I'm going to set it up for myself individually, I want the whole thing to be open source*.

You also have to remember that this study was done by Danish researchers and involved a meta-analysis on not just US healthcare, but also European healthcare systems.
Andy Grove would completely disagree:

MY FIRST PSA. It all started about a year earlier when my family doctor of 20 years retired. In the fall of 1994, my new doctor gave me a physical exam to establish a new baseline. The physical involved an assortment of blood tests, all of which were in the normal range, with one exception. The test called PSA came back with a result of 5. The acceptable range, according to the lab computer, was 0 to 4.

I didn't know what this test was. In fact, I don't think I'd ever had one before. My doctor's comment was, "It's slightly elevated. It's probably nothing to worry about, but I think you should see a urologist."
The first part of this story is the plot of the beginning of the movie Amelie.

I'm sorry about the second part. I wish he'd done blood pressure monitoring at home.
> actually improving Safari, in order for it to stay relevant and competitive

Safari seems to be the last bulwark against a Chrome-only web driven by features of the week.

Full Chrome/Chromium on iOS could very well end that, and I'm not thrilled at the prospect.

Personally I appreciate Safari's resistance to constant featurism in general, and conservative approach to features that are likely to compromise power usage or privacy. I have little desire for web apps to reach complete feature parity with native apps, or to have complete access to all hardware and OS features. Many developers may hate it and want to usher us into Google's PWA future, but I'm absolutely fine where things are right now. And I certainly don't want to have to use Chrome/Chromium for everything.

Lastly, as a developer, I don't like building on quicksand. And yet that's often what it feels like using web/JavaScript frameworks and browsers that change from week to week.

Nonetheless, OP's recommendation that Apple note which versions of Safari a certain bug is fixed in seems like a very good idea that should be adopted.
but like what other form factors exist for container ships? nobody thought to put the sails into containers on a container ship before these guys?
Oh man, I agree with you. The typical answer is: market.

But on a side note, this should make us blatantly clear that, all else being equal, our work has no inherent value.
See the story of William James Sidis:

X is dead or very nearly so, this problem doesn't really exist.
No. I've been riding a road tubeless setup in Seattle and surrounding countryside for half a decade now and the feel has nothing to do with Slime. 55mm x ISO 559 lightweight road tires with Orange Seal. (In the NW we like wide road tires : )

Something like 10k miles later I've had zero incidents where I had to fix something on the road. You do have to more maintenance (e.g. make sure you have adequate sealant in the tires periodically) but for regular year round use especially, it is a worthwhile trade.
Ask HN: Anyone here conducting independent academic research?
I'm curious to learn how many people here conduct and publish (or try to publish) research without being part of university or a company that pays for their research.

In particular, I'd be curious about the following:
Do you work on your research full-time or are is it a personal side project?
What field do you work in?
How do you fund your research?
Do you have a formal academic background in the field (or an adjecent field)?
Do you collaborate with others, if yes how did you find collaborators, if no why?

> There is a reason why metabolic values have "normal" ranges.

The "reason" is that they assumed a normal distribution and wanted to include 95% of people. If you're outside the normal range, you are abnormal. Which doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy or that something needs to be changed, but could potentially mean that questions should be asked to understand why you are outside the range? Maybe it's totally fine, like you are an athlete or have a particular kind of diet.
Which "art sequences" do you mean? The zero g part with Bach and Bruegel's "Hunters in the Snow" is one of the most iconic scenes in film history (in my book).
