While the democratic government of Russia (who never had a democracy) is busy bombing innocent civilians any taking away their country. Why is US moving in fascist directions again?! Please elaborate or give some examples at least.
This is a really cool and very opinionated post that sums things up to a coherent recipe that will work very well. There are different ways to achieve this (also with Django/DRF), but the purpose of this one is to make it specific to Django's implementation. I think the OP meant more general advice on architecture altogether.
If you are obligated to offer something for a purchase price set by a valuation committee, you do not in practice own it. The committee, though ostensibly bounded by some rules or guidelines, nonetheless could set a price different from what the market would actually bear. If they're truly offering competitive prices then the rule requiring a coin-finder to sell at the committee-determined price would be unnecessary.
>* FL makes no pretense about being primarily a based car-culture, but successfully implements mass transit where it makes sense

Effectively no FL city has mass transit, unless you want to count South Florida which has a commuter train (Trirail) and the Metro, which are both essentially north-south only. It makes sense to do everywhere, but has been done nowhere.
I think the main idea behind Julia is to minimize the burden of doing the necessary but wasteful software engineering parts of scientific computation.

Let the language optimize more so you don't have to write a C++ library or figure out how to use it optimally. Don't waste as much time setting up your environment or worrying about platform compatibility. Don't worry about using multiple languages for different types of computation. And make the on-ramp fairly painless by being a convenient glue language.

It fills the gap of otherwise not having a managed and JITed language for general mathematical computation. If it's more burdensome for you to switch, then don't switch.
Because people aren't logical. Tipping is not a scientific, carefully crafted way of doing things. It's culture and social behavior mixed together over many, many years.
Wouldn’t half of that go to tax, though?
In that sense, HN at least feels like a village up in the mountains. With lots of trails leading into less travelled forests around it...
Without getting into a whole thing about automating away peoples' jobs, buying pre-packaged sandwiches from a machine is a technical challenge that I believe was solved in the 19th century and there was a little automat fad surrounding it. Certainly it's how I buy lunch on many a day when I don't want to have to deal with social interaction.
> It's not about blame. Developers are paid to develop. They're not paid to care about the interlocking parts, so many of them don't. It's not an indictment. It's just what it is. They have a different set of skills.

That's the problem. That's not how it used to work and we've lost that. Developers are a lot more than develop. If you really think you need to pay someone 200-500k in better places to just "develop"; there's the problem.

Software exceeded because developers innovated and did a lot more than that. Shrinking them to just robots is where the problem starts and you can hire copy/paste "developers" for a lot less.

> I have found that poor performance is often not because an employee is "bad."

My point being and as you've actually explained - it still has nothing to do with scrum.

> Sure, there's no point in any of the work you do if you're being told to develop things that no one wants. My baseline assumption here is that the business has need of your work. If it doesn't, you should brush up no your CV.

The business has need for work - it doesn't make it a useful feature. What the client wants and what gets trickled down after 10 layers is a different story.

> If the four months gives me something no one wants, I'll take the year.

How do you keep concluding no 1 wants it?

> That's the whole discussion: how best to follow the plan. I don't think it's as easy as criticising developers for "not following the plan" if we don't provide a strong foundation in which to do so. Cue scrum.

Point being scrum doesn't provide this foundation. Read the comments. You lose long term planning and try to squeeze everything in 2 week compartments = find quick wins and hack everything so it fits. It's a disaster. What happens as other have explained is the estimates get padded. People do less work. People are unhappy and you're just left with the illusion of "success".

US and in particular SF didn't succeed on this but on elevating developers to innovate. Please don't kill it.
The Downsides of Batch APIs
Yeah. That's what threw me off. You see a pinned tweet and assume it's the most recent at a quick glance.
I write code on a Mac, all day. I still maintain that Apple is primarily a consumer entertainment system provider. The iPhone and iPad drive Apple's revenue. The Mac is to the iPhone and iPad what Visual Studio is to Windows. As Steve Balmer once said, "Developers! Developers! DEVELOPERS!"
Can run it in a isolated namespace and communicate with unix sockets. If the service does not support listening on sockets you can use socat within the namespace to forward from the unix socket to a port on lo in the namespace. Most reverse proxies can forward to a unix socket.

I've done similar things (and sometimes with a wireguard tunnel out to internet) for privacy reasons.
They've also scaled up the amount of ads I see on Chromecast devices. When I first bought one, I didn't see any ads. When I started to see ads, simply using an adblocker was enough.

Ads eventually circumvented my network-level ad blocking and DNS. I'd see an ad every once in a while on YouTube. Sometimes ads would play after watching videos. Then ads would play before casted videos. Then videos would get interrupted to show ads on the Chromecast. Then videos would be interrupted multiple times per video. Then ads would play between videos. On top of all of that, they're playing multiple ads per ad break now.

I thought that was bad, but then I saw what kinds of ads my friends and family were seeing on YouTube via their streaming devices.

Google learned that my friend would watch YouTube videos at night to go to sleep. So how does Google exploit that situation for maximum ad revenue? The YouTube app will show 30+ minute ads at night, one after the other, since they'll likely be asleep as they play. The app knows that they won't skip those absurdly long ads.
Why Generative AI Is a New Form of Media
The most frequently access parts of the site are always in flux with users constantly adding, removing, and editing content.

I don’t know how you could statically generate that. At most, you could memoize the parts of the page that haven’t changed yet and return them without a complete lookup, but keeping that in synch with a database is not an easy problem.
Scrum informs the customer that their ticket will be processed in the next sprint or not. It gives visibility into the future. A Kanban backlog, which is unordered, only tells them if their ticket is being worked on now.
My entirely personal ADHD-diagnosed input is:

* Above all: the challenge is to make it as seamless as possible to make a reminder, literally 3 seconds. The google calendar interface is too much of a bother sometimes, so the question is: can you improve on that?

* I probably won't have dozens of reminders that necessitate a call (or want that), so there needs to be utility even without the calls
Scoped CSS Is Back
Yes, correct. Apple documents its restore process here:

- https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210217

- https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974

They also have account recovery processes which use metadata about you to try and verify your identity.

Note, this is the system they are using today for passkeys. So this is not some kind of compromise or complexity with password vaults that passkeys eliminate, it's just the universal process of account recovery that we have today with all of its flaws, and passkeys don't add any additional protections or simplicity on top of this system.
The word lost its meaning a long time ago. Now it's used to define anything from someone sending death threats to state actors censoring dissent.

They made a coulomb bomb https://gravityandlevity.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/what-if-i-...

> I worked on all sorts of problems that involved the Coulomb interaction, and occasionally my proposed solution would be very wrong. The worst kind of wrong was the one that made my advisor remark “What you just created is a Coulomb bomb,” which meant that I had proposed something that wasn’t neutral on the large scale.
The fork, which connects to the axle, is under compression, though. Since that connects to the wheel rim purely through tensile members, I think it's fair game to call it a tensegrity structure.
Nationalizing the economy usually leads to lots of dead people anyway. Of starvation, if history is any guide.
Civil war happened a bit later, but I guess it's blurry because it was also mixed up with the foreign invasion / punishments that came out of the Soviet withdrawal from the war and Brest-Litovsk. The allies were enraged by the withdrawal from the war, but of course also extremely interested in destroying the new Bolshevik regime. So right away after 1918 they were thrown into a conflict setting.

I'd have to defer to an actual historian here for the full details, but my understanding of the history is that the "whites" that the Bolsheviks fought in the civil war were funded and aided by foreign powers (Britain, etc.), and that that funding and intervention began the moment Brest-Litovsk was signed, but then later transitioned into the full civil war scenario.

Of course it all depends on how you draw definitional lines around civil war vs revolution, etc.
Ask HN: Words that took you decades to learn you were saying wrong
I just learned that "chock-full" is not written "chalk-full" which is assumed metaphorically meant it was filled with chalk - since it's powdery, I assumed if it's filled with it there's no room for anything else.

Any other examples? I just enjoy the feeling of learning something this simple.
It seems like the US will do anything to avoid building public transit infrastructure. I can't imagine how expensive just the copper for an inductive charging road will be.
I like that, and you're right. I find that discussions in the comment of HN articles almost always tell me something I don't know. Sometimes it feels like secret knowledge :)
And the difference in their pay and minimum wage is? And the difference between their pay and living wage is? Maybe the employee it’s well compensated?

Again, the customer is asked to guess the restaurant’s payroll and make up the difference with the market wage. How does one know if they are paying too little? Or too much? Or just right? Maybe customers don’t want to play the guessing game.

Pay a competitive livable wage and raise the prices on the menu for the customer to determine the value of the product and stop asking/begging for tips. Done!

How did they make Babashka (it’s apparently spelled that way) instantly start? Do they pre-warm a Java thread in the background?

Do math errors still dump Java stack traces in Clojure? That and the lack of syntax once ruled it out for me.
Ignoring for a moment the 20% premium, the issue is that in the US, (mostly) everyone is American. Unless you're a regular, hospitality has no way of telling whether you're a good tipper or a bad tipper. There may be "tells" or "feelings", but that's the extent of it. So when you walk into a place, you're going to get the same service as the next guy. Your logic may track for regulars (a repeat customer may tip to get nicer service next time), but that's not the phenomenon that I was describing.

If you're in a touristy place and you're not American, if the place in particular has seen enough Americans, they're going to treat you badly because in their mind, you're taking up the table of an American tourist which would give them a lot of free money for doing the same work. I, as a non-American tourist who has never been in that particular place before, have no way of opting out of the "bad service mode" and opting into the "American service mode" – I obviously don't have an American accent. I obviously can't state "I'm going to tip you 20%!" at the beginning of the service – I'd look like a deranged person.

Value meaning roughly revenue, not profit.
It's definitely a bit messed up but tipping is all that keeps many rural restaurants alive. Without tipping there is no way to asymmetrically reap from rich and poor and you need both.
If you iterate and ask it to provide more idiomatic patterns, it will!
But it was also bound up with ideological and ethnic campaigns against e.g. Ukrainian nationalists and the Ukrainian peasantry generally. Stalin was a big fan of collective punishment, repopulation, depopulation, etc. Sociopath. Resistance of aspects of the peasantry to collectivization, etc. became an excuse for brutal policies, independent of any theoretical "socialist" policy.

Remember Marx (and even Lenin) wrote nothing about e.g. agricultural policy or even what socialization of industry would look like in practice. So these people (Stalin and his apparatus) were making it up as they went along, and they were awful people.

e.g. Stalin came to power against Trotsky and the Left Opposition by insisting on maintaining the NEP and taking a more gradual and pragmatic approach and then turned around, exterminated his opponents, and did the precisely the opposite and forced mass collectivization (leading to mass starvation.)
Yeah, no mention of the Fediverse was baffling...
I guess it depends on the type of battery, with ol' lead batteries you used density meters (hydrometers) to measure charge level, and to more dense liquid corresponded higher level of charge.
200 kW sounds quite scary to me. I wonder if there is any risky scenarios. Where something might be accidentally coupled.
I find the nix language beautiful.

The vast majority of the issues I have faced have been down to nixpkgs. Of course, nixpkgs is an incredible project, but it lacks direction, uses bad practices everywhere, and pretty much all of the flaws you’d expect on a vast monorepo with a somewhat laissez-faire management approach.

Oh, one other problem I had, I guess, was when MS removed a link to a Teams binary that was baked into nixpkgs, which meant I couldn’t rebuild my system without losing teams, until I fixed it with a custom derivation. I could also have fixed it by pinning the nixpkgs it came from to one with a working teams URL, but that seemed like too big of sledgehammer for a single application.

One of the key assumptions made by nixpkgs, and by many hermeticity-focused projects, is that URLs stay alive and unmodified. They don’t promise that something will always build. They promise that it will build perfectly, exactly as you specified, or not at all. There’s a nice security element to that I guess.

Nonetheless, NixOS is the best distro I’ve ever used. I certainly spent much more time fighting Arch, etc than I do NixOS - and I’ve never come across a problem I can’t work around with some nix code.

So my position, I guess, is that NixOS is the second best distribution for me. The best is the one that builds on NixOS and has learned some mistakes, thrown away some technical debt, etc.
Most browsers have safe browsing features that send unknown URLs to a cloud service for verification. I was shocked once to see an S3 presigned URL be accessed from Russia and India, when I had not shared it yet. It turned out to be Google safe browsing service (this case was several years ago and was verified with Google; I don’t know where URLs are investigated these days).

Another possible culprit is browser extensions. If you give an extension permission to a URL or page content, you have no idea if or where it’s sending it. Some extensions intentionally send URLs to cloud services for benign purposes (ex: Microsoft safe browsing extension for non-MS browsers).
Right. The only actual effect would be like, having two charged (or two uncharged? maybe?) elements right next to each other entails some repulsive force, and so it takes additional energy to get to that state. That energy has mass via E=mc^2.
You started by saying that scrum helps team alignment, communication and dealing with weaker developers. That introverted developers need something like that to communicate, because they are avoiding tough discussions. You was literally talking about developers.

When I said that developers do tough part regularly in code reviews, you said that effective communication is more and scrum provides that more.

When I said that scrum does not provide "the more" and makes it harder, you said that scrum actually should not do any of that, manager should. And oh, scrum has scrum master and no manager, so no I guess no one is doing it.

In a non scrum process, seniors do frequently take actively care about Juniors or own development. They can do it in systematic manner. They can actually work together on a lighly larger units of work with them. They can split work in a way that makes sense between the actual two people in question rather then based on what someone else prescribed.
You are looking for details that support your premise, you are reasoning in circles. It definitely is not a good way to show how cool you are, even though there are many contrarians around here.
Hopefully it helps burn this thing down. Discord tries really hard to be the most anti-privacy of those proprietary platforms and gee, they are ranking high on that.
Can the museum turn around and sell it at a profit?
I think you can trace that weirdness all the way down to the act/omission doctrine underlying Judeo-Christian ethical systems; in most situations it is considered way worse to cause harm by action than by inaction.

I do like the “we are already doing geoengineering” angle, it flips the narrative a bit. But I think people will still find the cases to be very different; at the end of the day nobody’s goal with emitting CO2 is climate change, it’s just a side-effect. Vs the explicit goal of (positive) climate change with geoengineering.
> it seems to clash with intuition that information is a completely separate thing to mass-energy?

How intuitive is the mass-energy equivalence? Before Einstein's era, people might have said that such an idea clashes with the intuition that is a completely separate thing from energy.

Splitting things is easy! Store the dense vectors of 512 characters or so and use an overlayed index of terms to set context of the current conversation.

If you're going to constantly groom your backlog to maintain priority order that is fine, but that's more work than maintaining a partial order. In fact, scrum is even less work than a partial sort; it just says "we're going to work on your ticket in sprint X" without being more specific.
Show HN: A Notion-Chrome Extension for categorizing and synthesizing knowledge
ResearchPRO is Notion-Chrome Extension that allows you to do two things: (1) Create and categorize web-highlights on any website or pdf and sync them in real-time into Notion. With buckets, and the SHIFT SHIFT shortcut, you can do this all on the fly. Defining a new bucket or category, creates a toggleable lists of grouped highlights in the Notion page of your choosing, which allows you to keep track of ideas and references across different articles. (2) Export bibliographies for a given research “topic.” Of course this just allows you to bucket links related to a given topic, if you need to go back later and remember them.

As an analyst way back when, I needed to draft a lot of market research documents. The first big part of that job was reading and extracting information from a variety of sources and text (sometimes just copy and paste), which I would pull into a document and later synthesize into something distributable. Just trying to keep track of snippets of text that I wanted to reference later and my sources was a massive manual pain.

As an avid reader and internet explorer, I had the same problem. I was constantly coming across articles that had some great idea which I wanted to preserve and connect to other ideas I was reading elsewhere - but I couldn’t find a great note-taking and web-annotating engine for this type of on-the-fly referencing. And certainly not one for Notion, which is my document editor of choice.

So I built it myself. Partly, its an ode to the pain points above and partly to I should say I was influenced heavily by the memex ideas and man-computer symbiosis that a lot of the early computer pioneers discussed. This is certainly not that idea in its entirety - but it is something in a similar vain. I wanted a way to capture and categorize and synthesize the knowledge extraction process, and a second-brain repository to do it in, that I could reference back later. I use it now as a second brain for ideas and things I come across.

I hope you all love it, and absolutely would LOVE honest feedback. It is behind a paywall, because honestly I wanted to test my ability to make something that people pay for. There is a 14 day free trial, and its only 4/month which is one good cup of coffee. However, if people really want to use it and engage here and upvote this because they’re interested - and the free trial is not enough time - I’m happy to pass in some sort of coupon code for anyone who reaches out directly.

The demo and landing page are here - [https://www.researchpro.club/](https://www.researchpro.club/... which add a good visual reference to the product. Chrome extension is linked.

My poor sweet summer child...
I think you are right.

Somehow, in my mind, I'd like to find a niche where I can start building something (software-related). Something that is of use, and which solves a problem people are willing to pay for. Not a "get rich in two months"-scheme, but something sustainable. I have no problem with commitments, but it’s the problem to solve that I'm currently lacking.

Apparently, this tool does it. I think there are not many tools like that on the market (I might be wrong).
With current computing power limits training a new model takes a long time. Seems like months at this point.

But lets say Nvidia pulls a rabbit out of its magic hat, and comes out with a training chip that is a million times more powerful. Now instead of months training that drops down to 24 hours. Would you still say that is a pretty huge gap? And I ask this because this is Nvidia's goal within a decade.

Where, for you, does a big gap turn into 'that is dangerously close'?
