“ You can see similar features in GitHub’s smaller competition Codeberg, GitLab, BitBucket, and Gitea. These competitors don’t offer other, major code collaboration tools, and their Pull Request-like features aren’t just there to help users come from GitHub.“

That's where I stopped reading. GitLab’s Merge Requests are on par or even more robust than GitHub’s Pull Requests.

This person clearly hasn't used GitLab; otherwise, they wouldn’t say this.

Blank statements like this one undermine their core argument.

Really crystallizes how what matters is "good enough" for Microsoft's goals, not the user's.
Pornography is that which harms the soul. That's true of all people not just minors.

The question then becomes what should be classified as pornography. Justice Stewart famously said "I know it when I see it". My definition is close: "pornography is that which harms my soul". That means that what is porn will differ for different people and probably by age as well.
Oh absolutely. I'm going to confess that I read this book, "Replay" by Ken Grimwood, which is roughly about a guy who keeps having a heart attack on the same day, and wakes up in his younger body, with all of his memories. Again and again and again. Kind of like Groundhog Day, but for an entire adult life. I kind of became obsessed for a while with the idea that I would like to live my life over again. It was a really unhealthy obsession. It took a while for me to live in the moment, try to not hold on to my regrets, etc.

Back to the topic... I kind of watch things like Primitive Technology out of a hope/fear that I'll either get thrown back in time to when these skills were relevant, or that I'll live in a post-apocalyptic world where they're relevant again. (Which was probably inspired by reading Stephen King's "The Stand," and worrying about how my life would be if there was no electricity.)

But yeah, I love watching people show their enthusiasm... I love watching people demonstrate mastery over tools I don't know how to use... I love watching someone build something... Tom7 and Primitive Technology check all those boxes. Adam Savage's Tested often does, too.
Unfortunately not. After reboots, which are annoyingly often, MacOS places all my carefully organized windows and their layout into a messy pile on the first/primary space and I have to spend a significant amount of time to get everything back to the state I want. This is also a huge pain in the ass when moving between external and internal monitor, where my windows and their size ends up not how I want them every single time.
> And at least Denmark have really high taxes up to ~60%.

It’s more useful to talk about marginal tax rates, otherwise you get situations where someone can pay more state income tax in a low tax state like Alabama than California even though California has a higher top marginal tax rate.
It feels like unified memory for cpu and gpu is going to be a big trend moving forward for laptop/desktop, which is why investment in Arc to help drive this meteor platform are more important. Console ports are already becoming a big problem for current gpu card memory, and apple silicon is clearly showing the benefits on the laptop and desktop side.
I recommend using git-remote-hg when dealing with Mercurial repos. Or git-cinnabar for very large ones like Mozilla's.
IEC 60559 could have defined pow(-1, ∞) as -1 if they’d wanted to. Hence my question what the “thus” is about.
I think this is really awesome.
I’m doing a deep dive in how various “backend languages” are being used to create interactive front ends (i.e. Phoenix LiveView) and I might even look into this as another example.
There is an open-source browser extension called Privacy Redirect which will turn all Twitter links you click into Nitter links [0].

This also turns Reddit links into Libreddit/Teddit links, YouTube links into Invidious links, etc.

Basically you get to browse an Internet without intrusive pre-roll ads or outrage algorithms. I think based on your comment that this might be of interest to you.

Ask HN: Strategies for minimizing product and tech debt in loosely coupled teams
Hey HN,
I work in a medium-sized startup with loosely coupled cross-functional teams, each responsible for solving a well-defined business problem, such as improving the retention of a specific customer segment. This approach has worked well for our company, and each team enjoys full autonomy in delivering solutions from discovery to release.

However, we've noticed that each team focuses on finding a local maximum, which creates a global complexity or "debt" that can negatively impact the company's global metrics. No single team is accountable for these metrics, and it can also hurt the local metrics of past efforts and future velocity of many teams.

I'm reaching out to ask for ideas and experiences with addressing this specific problem. Are there any frameworks, processes, or ideas that you have found helpful in balancing local maximums with global metrics in cross-functional teams?
Clearcase version control was a fun one.
Stocks -> can be seized by governments where the exchanges or actual companies are based.

Gold -> Good, and Bitcoin is like Gold in many aspects. While it doesn't have Gold's history yet, it has a few other qualities like easy transferrability and divisibility.

Other assets -> Like? ForEx is at the mercy of issuing government (just ask Russia who lost ~300B$). Land can be seized if it's outside one's jurisdiction.

In general, Bitcoin (like Gold) is a great asset to park some fraction of your wealth as a hedge against geopolitical risks.
Should we vote with our wallets or shouldn't we? I'm confused.
I have an opinion that number of decimal numbers between 0 and e is equal to number of decimal numbers between e and +Infinity, because a parabola with a=e will grow in x with same speed as in y.
Every post about H1B misuse leads to people eventually talking about the validity of the H1B itself. So, I'll dive straight in. There is no good way to talk about H1-Bs without first talking about one's values around immigration. Do they they support immigration and what shapes their opinion about high skilled immigration.

A majority of Americans are off-springs of a living immigrant ancestor (1st, 2nd and 3rd gen immigrants). A conservative extrapolation would put them at 66% of the population[1]. I have no empathy for any one from this majority that completely opposes immigration. It's 'I got mine' style hypocrisy.

The other 33% have various reasons for opposing immigration. But, depending on the type immigration that is made legal, it's possible to address every type of concern.

For example:

1. Poverty/crime/economy related complaints due to low skill immigration ---> enable high skill immigrants. Overwhelmingly low-crime & a huge net positive for the economy.

2. Culture related complaints ---> enable US education based immigration. Let them be explicitly indoctrinated into American-ness.

3. Low-wage / job stealing ---> set an income based lower bound. H1bs already require salaries to match the local median. But, I'd even support more aggressive percentile requirements. Do people not understand the around $20-30k/yr overhead that employing immigrants entails. (applications, lawyers, lottery risks, multiple rounds of secondary interviews for LCA) ? L1-visas are cheap. H1Bs are fairly expensive.

There are many more such angles, but I have yet to hear a cohesive argument for a blanket ban on immigration that isn't a thinly veiled concern about demographic replacement of the descendants of earlier settlers. Now, I am mildly sympathetic to that argument too. In a dog-eat-dog world, their ancestors replaced the local population of the British Isles and then North America. The world is cruel, and only the paranoid survive. Would be a lot easier to then debate around those points, because the statistics on contributions to the economy and lack of social delinquency are in favor of H1Bs when compared to the descendants of the early settlers.

I'll keep it at that. HN does not encourage culture-warring. I'll abide.

Pretty smart for a 3-year-old if you ask me.
I've used many different version control systems. Git is, by far, the best at merging and avoiding conflicts to start with. I believe it's because it can often work from the basis of a common ancestor commit, so it's able to perform three-way merges instead of two-way merges.
If this is a good example of using ChatGPT for writing Rust, I suspect that the problem may be with Rust async.
The company the already trained worker is jumping to doesn't have to bear the cost of the training or paying the salary for 6 months like their company already did, so they can always pay better.
I have two. The first one was purchased as part of a box kit from Bespoke Post. That one is fantastic all-around. Then I misplaced it and purchased a second one from Amazon, apparently with a different nib. I prefer the Pilot disposables to that one.
I’m sympathetic to your argument, but consider the case where you remove the sex from the above picture. It is normal and not specially restricted to have violent torture-like scenes in modern media.

The problem isn’t the sex. The problem is the violence.
The popularity of hyperbole in HN discussions makes it easier for people to discount HN, both in drowning out useful information and in weakening discourse. Please reconsider in the future.

There is a aphorism.

Bsd was made by people who love unix, linux was made by people who hate windows.
I don't think it's an issue that they can scale, I see no reason they could not, I think it's because they don't have the appetite to do so.

There is nothing intrinsically limiting about the format of a coop that would prevent it from being as big as needed, IMO.
Structure and Interpretation of Ark
To this I'd add:

For the affordable gold nibs, "Lamy 2000" is generally the biggest competitor to Pilot Capless / Vanishing point. Same price, very similar nib quality, different esthetics / use case.

For the cheap, the aliexpress classics "Jinhao x750" is another gateway drug. It's under $10 and gives an almost infinite ability for tinkering further down the line when the fountain pen bug bites (#6 size nibs that are easy to find / replace and standard cartridge / converter size for easy ink availability).
Not really an appropriate analogy. More appropriate would be, 'you should really put a password on your wifi.'

But even paperclip generator can eventually have a different paperclip design for whatever reason. It reverses direction to parent and starts rearranging it's paperclips - a clash of paperclip generators ?
Spam inflates numbers and ends up benefiting nearly everyone except the end user in the short-term:
- Platforms benefit from larger activity volume, thus increasing their numbers and $$$
- FTC and other regulatory bodies get to take low-effort actions and tout the massive effects, ignoring the fact that they're slapping the ocean with a stick.
- All the systems in between are charging each other for artificial traffic, resulting in a convenient ponzi-like situation. I wouldn't be surprised if large chunks of vendor (SendgridTwilio, cloud providers, etc.) revenues are from illegitimate business.

Isn't this how most servers run normally? (parts of) files which are accessed are in page cache, the rest is on "disk"
Supposedly EasyCard and iPass both work all over the country now.
Isn't it? I see a lot of investment in decoupling supply chains from China which was a single point of failure and contributed to inflation when it closed down. Also a lot of investment in renewables or alt-energy sources after Russia decided to use NatGas as a tool in its current war.
There are, and it turns out that this is a significant mathematical concept.

The integers between 0 and infinity are defined as "countably infinite". Other infinities are considered countably infinite, or the "same" infinity, if and only if you can arrange it in a list such that each item in the list pairs to an integer in our 0 to infinity list. So the set of even numbers is countably infinite because for every i that is an even number, it pairs with the number i/2.

To demonstrate:
0 -> 0,
2 -> 1,
4 -> 2,
6 -> 3,
...

The decimal (real) numbers between 0 and 1 are not countably infinite, and we know this from a concept called Cantor diagonalization. What Cantor did was a proof by contradiction: assume that the numbers are countably infinite, then you can arrange them in a list. However, he then builds a number by altering the first decimal place of the first number, the second decimal place of the second number, and so on. Finally, he shows that this built number is both a real number and is not on the list. Therefore, the real numbers between 0 and 1 cannot be ordered into a list, therefore they are not countably infinite, and there are more decimal numbers between 0 and 1 than integers between 0 and infinity.
Isn't this about Spectre/Meltdown vulns instead of the perf. specs?
I love rebasing.

As for dealing with merge conflicts, it's called

- keep up to date with the branch your tracking
- merge frequently
- get on a call when you do have merge conflicts
- avoid having multiple people working in the same files simultaneously if possible

The problem with merge conflicts is you have two people changing the same lines of code at the same time. So I would imagine if you wanted to improve the situation you would need an AI powered version control system that understood the intent of the previous developers. But that's not going to fix bad habits.
I'm a litle surprised to see something so vapid ranking so high on the site.
> But you can't say they shrugged or that people aren't earnestly working on Alignment.

They opened up 3rd-party API access. They clearly do not view this as a blocker whatever their declared goals are.

> Unfortunately it went viral, and this caused a rush to product.

They encouraged it to go viral. This is not a thing that was thrust upon them against their will. They signed a deal with Microsoft to turn this into a search engine and to allow it to start operating on untrusted 3rd-party text. Nobody held a gun to their head and forced them to do that. They made that choice.
Keep in mind, these are the ones we know about. I would imagine there could be many, many more. I work for a large health care company. We've had several breaches already this year. None have been made public and users were never notified.

Unless the press or some independent researcher like Krebs digs something up, its often times rare a company will make this stuff public.
It's addictive for one. There are increasing number of support groups for men who are struggling with pornography use and for their spouses in dealing with having a dependant partner.

It creates a space for people to explore and normalise their distressing sexual interests without questioning the root causes.

Producers will often intentionally seek out vulnerable young women and groom them with promises of fame and riches, only for them to become reliant on painkillers and other drugs to cope with the reality of it.

It creates a market for the abuse of trafficking victims. Most sites don't require verification of consent and most users don't care.

It teaches men to objectify their partners and to see them as something to be shared. There is a huge market now for non consensual revenge pornography. Reddit has seen multiple subreddiys dedicated to non-consensual intimate media.

It provides a safe space for people to express racist, misogynistic and otherwise antisocial viewpoints.

PornHub in its front page today has videos of stimulated assaults and incest. For young viewers it gives them the idea that it's normal to be sexually interested in these things.

I'm not religious. I'm sex positive and believe in being open with children about the realities of life. Pornography stole years of my life, warped my views of relationships and prevented me from reflecting seriously on my own traumas.
I think this approach to the issue of 'what language to start with' has a serious flaw for basic programming instruction:

> "Our solution is to start with our own tailor-made teaching language, dubbed “Beginning Student Language” or BSL."

The only time the use of a toy language makes sense is if you're learning how to create a programming language in the context of understanding compilers, e.g.

https://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/MyFirstLanguageFrontend/index...

Otherwise it's doing the students a disservice as they'll never use the language again and will have to relearn a whole new syntax later on. It's also far better to learn in a widely used language because there will be a wide variety of resources that can help you solve simple problems (and this is even more true in the era of ChatGPT).

The argument that a simplified language makes it easier for students to grasp high-level concepts doesn't work either: instead just use a restricted well-defined subset of a language like C, C++, Java, Python, Javascript - and explain to the students the rationale for doing so.
Couldn't you trivially say zero is in "the middle" of any even split? 2 + 0 + 2 = 4?

I've used both LineageOS and GrapheneOS and the latter would have been my choice for security purposes as its entire focus is on privacy and security.
For the CPU cores, M and x86 are converging. M1 had a very expressive lead on gen 11 and 12 Intel because of multiple hiccups on Intel's product pipeline, but that is not going to hold for long. As for the GPU cores, I know very little how they compare, and GPU cores tend to be wildly different between manufacturers.
Yeah I think you are right to add the “depending on your environment” caveat. I have no experience in the Windows domain.

subversion was just as dominant as git is now. Not using version control at all is probably just as common as it was previously.

Phub is also a legitimate business that has commercial advertising interests in the US, so they're incentivized to play nice. There are about a million other websites that aren't based in North America, contain only pirated material, and don't care about what laws are applicable where.

But yea, if you actually critically review them, some are more plausible than others.

It's very weird that a theory that involves a conspiracy is automatically (linguistically) linked to falsehoods imagined by crazy people. It seems to me that somebodies conspired to make all conspiracy theories look bad so that they can participate in even more conspiracies without people credibly calling them out :D

There's another comment in this thread saying that the CIA popularized the term or sth. I have no power of foresight to determine whether that's true or not. But it would definitely have been to their benefit.

relational databases are backed by relational algebra, an actual formal math definition. You can prove theorems like the output of Query X is equal to the output of Query Y, but Query Y is likely to run faster so that is what we will run

You can't outdate math (you can outdate math notation though, finding better ways to express the same information). To be fair SQL is not 100% relational algebra compatible, but it is close enough
Porn is very addictive because the person has no idea how to form real life relationships and engage in real sex in a healthy way.

In the same way video games are very addictive because it gives you a sense of accomplishment when you have no mental tools to go out and improve your situation in life.

In the same way weed is addictive when you have no mental tools to face hardships in your life and you would rather escape into a care free state of mind.

Nothing to do with the things at hand, everything to do with mental conditioning from an early age, a.k.a upbringing, a.k.a parenting.
