It's not incorrect use.

If you add "sic" you try to make the speaker sound like an idiot and that you have the right way.

Plus, "sic" pushes the attention of the reader toward this specific word, when it may be a waste of time of the reader.

Not for me. The DOM is virtually always a poor fit for your view model. You will need to abstract it to stay sane, sooner or later. Manipulating DOM is slow and fraught with performance cliffs.

In my opinion, DOM nodes should be disposable. A means to display data through the browser, not more. I avoid storing custom data on them, I avoid association like in the blog post. 98% of the time, you just want a simple transform from domain data into DOM nodes, for display. You really don't want to care which DOM nodes. This is how React works, and the reason why it is successful.

Granted, once you get into the hundreds of elements updated at interactive rates, you may have to mess with the DOM directly, because you can't trust React to be smart about it. That's still just a consequence of DOM being terribly inefficient for historical reasons.
I think that splitting things can be a good idea once in a while. The important part is that you only make a new service because some job fits being its own service.

The microservice syndrome begin once you start splitting services simply because you arbitrarily declare them too large.
Xonsh has this. It’s super cool after using it for a while.
Wasn't it still "unlimited" for photos uploaded before the cut-off? That's quite reasonable for a free service vs. "paid lifetime".

What value does a developer deliver when their entire process is done by an LLM?

Is there no desire for a creative process?
The way they'll do it, if they do it at all, is to find a way to squeeze the capability into smaller models and get much faster at executing them. That's where the market forces are.

That's exactly the core of the email that leaked out of Google: it's proving far better to be able to have lots of people iterating quickly (which necessarily means broad access to the necessary hardware) than to rely on massive models and bespoke hardware.

I'd anticipate something along the lines of a breakthrough in guided model shrinking, or some trick in partial model application that lets you radically reduce the number of calculations needed. Otherwise whatever happens isn't as likely to come out of the open source LLM community.
Why would that mean it was cheaper instead of making the middleman’s margin fatter? Upwork isn’t a charity, the owners want to make money.
As noted excuse the basic check functions and use whatever you actually want for check criteria and the amount of work on the server side is still a factor <1 compared to writing that and then a different check on the server. If your password check logic is 50x the size of that though you might be overdoing it, but that's just an opinion. Again I'd argue you should really be validating server side as well anyways, fewer chances to mess something up and accept a weak password.
I know the traditional Unix worse-is-better philosophy holds simplicity of implementation as a higher goal than consistency of interface. I don't know how that ties into tigers and VAXen, though.
I think it’s clear that “lifetime” means the lifetime of the service. There are some services where the economics work out. And some where it doesn’t. But I agree that “free forever” is a much more aspirational statement than “lifetime access” and shouldn’t be trusted too much.

The inspiration for Newspeak is Basic English, which is much like Esperanto but with English words (at least it's described as such — I'm not actually very familiar with Basic English myself). Constructed languages had some avid supporters back in the early 20th century, looking to make some constructed language the international language. Though I don't know much about Basic English, the unique looks of Newspeak definitely come, directly or indirectly, from Esperanto's ideas for keeping the vocabulary small and simple. To illustrate, in Esperanto the word for "good" is "bona", "bad" is "malbona" ("ungood"), and "to improve" is "plibonigi" ("to moregoodify").
(self-reply) Addendum:

EWD 340 (Prof. Edsgar Wybe Dijkstra) [1]:

"The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull; therefore he approaches the programming task in full humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the plague. In the case of a well-known conversational programming language I have been told from various sides that as soon as a programming community is equipped with a terminal for it, a specific phenomenon occurs that even has a well-established name: it is called “the one-liners”. It takes one of two different forms: one programmer places a one-line program on the desk of another and either he proudly tells what it does and adds the question “Can you code this in less symbols?” —as if this were of any conceptual relevance!— or he just asks “Guess what it does!”. From this observation we must conclude that this language as a tool is an open invitation for clever tricks; and while exactly this may be the explanation for some of its appeal, viz. to those who like to show how clever they are, I am sorry, but I must regard this as one of the most damning things that can be said about a programming language. Another lesson we should have learned from the recent past is that the development of “richer” or “more powerful” programming languages was a mistake in the sense that these baroque monstrosities, these conglomerations of idiosyncrasies, are really unmanageable, both mechanically and mentally.

Over the long run, minimizing the maximally worst cases works.
I didn’t check the ToC in a while but last time I did if you got a client through Upwork you cannot work with them outside of their platform for two years otherwise you and the client risk a fine.
I once needed to order something in the company's ordering system, but for some reason my manager wasn't set as an approver, by virtue of some glitch, since it had worked a few weeks before, and if you wanted to change approvers you'd need the current approver to approve. But that wasn't set. A classical chicken and egg situation.

The button for changing approvers was greyed out, so out of boredom I changed it to active in the client-side code. Lo and behold after clicking the "active" button I got a box for selecting the approver.

I could select any user in the company. Even the CEO or myself.

I did the right thing and mentioned this to our IT Security department. Since obviously this could be used to order really expensive stuff in the name of the CEO or whoever.

They came back to me and told me, the vendor (I'm not sure I want to mention them here because they're happy to sue), knows about this for 3 years and won't fix it.
Considering that many posts here just complaining about BJP, I just wisen them up by saying that it's bipartisan, so kinda useless seething over one party.
> best socks

You want to check out backpacking gear review sites like Outdoor Gear Lab, Section Hiker, or for the most authoritative data, Backpacking Light ($).

In the mean time, try searching for Darn Tough, Silverlight Socks or Smartwool for boot socks.

The longstanding English manufacturer Bridgedale must have been taken over by MBAs recently because it is being marketed heavily. Their socks may be fine; I don't know.

Then there is Injinji, and other two-layer (inner and outer) and toe-separated sock systems more generally. I like Injinji's sport sock (once I got over the look of my feet in socks with five separate toes). Injinji has a range of socks made from different textiles.

All of these use wool/synthetic blends, with the synthetic usually some form of nylon. Silverlight's nylon is coated with silver for antimicrobial properties (reduced stink). I have just placed an order for a five-pack. (I also spend up to 10.5 hours a day on my feet in boots.)

For non-wool, thinner socks I use Drymax, which are aimed at the running/athletics crowd. I've found them very durable (used them quite a bit for tramping (NZ-ish for bushwalking/hiking) and very easy-care. They are not left-right differentiated though.
Restating the koan: The UNIX way values both simplicity of implementation and correct behaviour in all circumstances. These values are often in tension. You must not follow these values blindly. They apply only at the right time.

This is a bit off topic but I think it’s now clear that of the (many) open source Slack-alternative products Zulip emerged as the best of the bunch.

They had a great differentiator with the focus on threading and they executed really well. Congratulations to the team.

Overall, I think Discord and Teams won the space - but it’s a big market and I think Zulip will be around for a long time.
I do not know much about startups.. but there are many, many successful projects that have been fully remote - Linux, GNU, Debian, etc. Almost all open source projects I know of do not need an office space.
The file might fit without much problems in the filesystem cache, so i guess it would only be a problem in the first time.

I had a friend in university that used a refurbished hp workstation with a shitload of ram as a desktop computer, and he would find | xargs -L1 cat {} > /dev/null everything in his home directory on login to warm up the filesystem cache. The kernel would then drop stuff not actually needed/accessed nicely over time.

I’ve always got trouble understanding people saying a PL has « lisp roots » because it has first-class support for functions (aka you can create them on the fly, pass them as values, etc).

This is so common today that i don’t find it relevant.

To me, the most original / not yet present in mainstream PLs is the fact that lisp code is lisp data (homoiconicity). That is, any programming language feature aimed at manipulating data structure (list operators for example) can manipulate code as well.

Am i missing something ?

This is against the terms and conditions I believe and in theory Upwork can charge you or the client some extra fee if you take the project outside of the platform.
That hypothesis looks like very motivated reasoning tbh. Problems:

1. The risk is all concentrated in the first weeks after vaccination and consistently so over time. That's what you'd expect from a biological cause, not a change in behavior.

2. The biological pathways that cause it are known. This isn't a random correlation that leaves people scratching around for a causal explanation. The spike protein is thrombogenic. Note that the authors (who are doctors) don't have much difficulty admitting the relationship is causal, except in the conclusions, where they have to make the usual disclaimers that the vaccines are wonderful and everyone should have five for breakfast each morning, whilst readily stating that SARS-CoV-2 itself can cause blood clots. Recall that AstraZeneca was pulled from the market it yielded so many clots.

3. The idea that unvaccinated people were all cowering at home terrified of the virus whilst the vaccinated skipped around carefree is nonsense on its face. People who didn't take the shot weren't taking it because they saw no reason to do so. They weren't scared of the virus to begin with! That's why the authorities had to become so totalitarian to keep the unvaccinated out of places - they'd happily turn up and mingle if allowed to.

> it's entirely possible that vaccination harmed us not through some biological mechanism but by making us more foolhardy and lockdown and mask less

Sadly, that is wishful thinking. The data on this is unambiguous. Vaccines are drugs and drugs sometimes have side effects. This isn't news, it has always been that way, which is why governments are so keen to tell you all about their bulldog regulators who make sure Big Pharma doesn't skimp on safety trials (except that they did, because it was considered to be an emergency).
The thing is that anything that benefits the bottom end also should reflect up and help the top end too, if they're paying attention.

> you’ve never made a mistake in your future predictions? youve never committed to something you couldnt deliver?

I do my outright best not to avoid over-promising, since over promising can cause harm to others. Consider two parties here: the customer and the the competition. The harm to the customer is rather obvious since the terms have been changed for them. It would manifest itself in higher costs, the need to alter their work, or both. One could argue that they should not have depended upon a free tier, but ... the same cannot be said for the competition which was offering a real product. They have to deal with (potential) customers who were pulled away by a snake-oil salesman. While my wording is likely unduly harsh. Given how quickly the changes were made, the free tier was likely a poorly thought out plan rather than a malicious one, it is important to remember that an attempt to draw in customers is often intended to pull them away from others. You better be sure you can live up to your word.
Wouldn't a more promising approach be to go through NeRFs first? So first figure out what you want the model to look like from various angles, and then try to make a textured 3d model out of it.

But that’s not how humans function. They won’t follow citations because it’s added work. Nine times out of ten, they will take what the AI spits out at face value and move on. Also those citations have a higher probability of being created by AI now as well.
"Political-science research conducted over the past two decades suggests that social media has had several damaging effects on democracies. A recent review of the research, for instance, concluded, “The large majority of reported associations between digital media use and trust appear to be detrimental for democracy.” That was especially true in advanced democracies."

Some people seem to prefer systems that break often for some reason.

Had a roommate that ran arch (and wouldn’t shut up about it of course) —- he would update the system very often and very often it wouldn’t boot for some reason. One time he had to update a system that hadn’t been updated in a while and he opted for just reinstalling it.

It doesn’t really make sense to me, but I guess some people like it that way?
Well, flip-flop is usually due to heavy investment too early – on poorly formed thesis of a potential product-market fit or business model (ie., vision). Early days has to be about optimizing aggressively for speed of learning/validation/formation of thesis.

There has to be an overarching thesis that is well-formed (formed based on experience/tests from adjacent/related markets, key assumptions validated at reduced scale, strong backing by investors/founders etc).

During this vision formation/validation stage, keep things very lightweight and don't over-invest in prolonged tech platforms.

For example, if your product/service has an on-the-field operational part to it, then run that part with manual operations with pen/paper – pen/paper is extremely flexible and universally usable and survives all kinds of surprises in the field – don't wait to build a software solution to test your thesis in the field. Manual ops can scale quite well especially during learning phase (scale is not your goal, learning/validating is). Choose the use-case for your experiments carefully – optimizing for fast learning and applicability of that learning for next adjacent use-case you intend to expand to.

Once you get going, still build the tech systems without dogmas or baking strong opinions in too much. Keep your engineers generalists and first principles problem solvers and interested in solving both tech and functional-domain problems and encourage them to be humble and curious – because both the functional and tech world is constantly changing. Don't hire a huge product management org – every engineer/manager should be thinking about customer/product first. Over time, parts of your product are more mature and parts of your product are very nascent and still volatile. If your entire team is still thinking customer/product first and
build tech to solve problems from first principles, then they should have found the right coupling/cohesion balance between different parts of the system to avoid shared fate, high blast radius or high contagion of that volatility/instability affecting more mature parts of the system.

How could it possibly be more meaningful. Languages mature over time, bits of other langauges are integrated, vocabularies expand, new forms of expression in the langauge appears, by serious practioners of writing or speaking in the language.

Show HN: I made an open source desktop magnifier for demo and presentations
I wanted a cool magnifier for my presentations, but couldn't find one (the default windows one was not really usable for my case)

So I built one using Vue and Tauri (weird stack for such a tool, huh?). It was a pretty fun little project, hope you guys can have some use.

Here's how it works:

- When you press the shortcut, it takes a screenshot and store it in a temp folder

- It then displays an HTML window and passes the screenshot URL to it

- The HTML window has no "decorations" (top bar) and only contains an empty div

- This div uses the screenshot as a background and updates the background position based on the cursor location

- The window location is also updated according to the cursor location using a requestAnimationFrame (so that it does not get triggered too often)

- The wheel event impacts the size of the window, as well as a transform:scale on the background.

If I did not understand deep learning and FAISS, or how projects are structured, I don't think I would have been able to pull this off. On the other hand, it also has some sort of a leveling effect—I have not worked on PyTorch in a while, have no idea of FAISS's new APIs, etc., but these gaps were filled in by ChatGPT.
