To be clear on this: DataFrames, like most of the Julia ecosystem, follows SemVer. DataFrames 1.0 was released over two years ago (March 2021), and the API has been stable ever since.

Furthermore, Bogumil Kaminski, one of the main developers behind DataFrames, makes sure that the DataFrames tutorials he has created here (https://github.com/bkamins/Julia-DataFrames-Tutorial) are updated on every new release.
First thoughts: that website is almost unusable on mobile. I had to scroll multiple times to see a stuttering animation until I finally was able to read some text about the devices and see their specs.

Secondly, this isn't a Pixelbook, right? Am I missing some hints to a cooperation with Google?

Apart from that, it looks decent but I would've hoped for a 3:2 aspect ratio but at least they haven't gone down the 16:9 route.

All in all, my 2017 Pixelbook is still working, still getting updates and whenever I'm too lazy to unplug my MacBook Air, i'll grab it as a couch device. Don't think I'll ever go back to working on a Chromebook full time.

> If you grew up with $50M+ and lived a luxurious life, but lost it all, would you not have children over worries they may not have the same standard of living that you did?

I'd agree there's nuance to this. For your cherry picked scenario, no, that wouldn't affect my decision. I can accept a single person having a reduction in living standards. However, when most of Western society (I'm British, not American) is struggling to attain housing at a rate similar to the generation before, when the middle classes as a whole aren't able to become as financially secure as the generation before then it is enough to give me pause.

So ignoring any climate worries I already think things will be much harder. When you add on that it's estimated that billions will be without sufficient water in a few decades it's not hard to imagine that there will be significant problems of which I have very little confidence that we will be able to handle well as a species.

Perhaps I'm overly pessimistic. But as I say, this isn't the only factor we've taken into account, it's more a tertiary concern.

This isn't a Pixelbook, which was a particular line of first party devices. It's just a Chromebook (or a Windows laptop). I don't see the word Pixelbook anywhere on the page either so I'm not sure why that's in the HN title.
Yes I should, but I didn't.

I used to get emails from them: 2013-08-11 "Your Google Voice number --- has expired", 2021-04-11 "Your Google Voice number --- will expire in 30 days", 2021-11-06 "Your Google Voice number --- will expire in 30 days", 2021-11-30 "Your Google Voice number --- will expire in 7 days"

Nothing about expiring numbers since then. The last contact I had was: "2022-12-14 Notice: Verify your Google Voice forwarding phone --- in the next 30 days"
To be fair, while I remember the Windows 95 shell being quite snappy on a 133 MHz 5x86, it’s not exactly the epitome of the suckless ideal internally—it’s centered around COM/OLE2 (with Unicode strings!), has a full-blown object browser under the guise of Explorer, and to avoid the slowness all of that causes, has a restricted reimplementation of COM inside[1] that through carnal knowledge of Windows internals is capable of interoperating with the system one.

One would think displaying seconds[2] would be the least of its problems, but apparently not. (Maybe the Unicode-only TrueType renderer really hurts that much? Did they not have the time to write a eleven-glyph cache?)

Quoting my comment from another thread:

> ... this whole debate is reminiscent of Karel Čapek's War with the Newts [1936]. In particular the public discourse from a time before the newts took over. "It would certainly be an overstatement to say that nobody at that time ever spoke or wrote about anything but the talking newts. People also talked and wrote about other things such as the next war, the economic crisis, football, vitamins and fashion; but there was a lot written about the newts, and much of it was very ill-informed. This is why the outstanding scientist, Professor Vladimir Uher (University of Brno), wrote an article for the newspaper in which he pointed out that the putative ability of Andrias Scheuchzer to speak, which was really no more than the ability to repeat spoken words like a parrot, ..." Note the irony of the professor's attempt to improve an ill-informed debate by contributing his own piece of misinformation, equating newt speech to mere parrot-like mimicry.

So he is using a full blown parser, but some part of the tokenisation is done with regexes.

I call BS.

Also I'm pretty sure it will miss some nesting of "<", somewhere, in an attribute, cdata, js, etc, that is not a tag, but will confuse the parser.

I used regexes to parse HTML, it works fine for quick and dirty scripts that need a small chunk of data for a limited sample of pages. Which I believe is the message he is trying to convey.

But I'd rather keep the legend of the infamous SO post against parsing HTML because:

- it will help the people that need it the most to avoid making mistakes

- it's fun, and part of our culture.

It's one of those things that America inherited from England, and then when England changed its method, the Americans saw no need to change because it wasn't part of England anymore.†

If you go into antiques stores in England, you will find that with items that are engraved, the older it is, the more likely it will have the now-American date format.

There was an item on Antiques Roadshow a couple of months ago that was a gift from Queen Victoria to someone that had an engraving that included the American date format.

† This is true for a surprising number of minor differences between America and England. In life, it's often better to understand the history of things, rather than just ignorantly write off a group of people as bizarre.
And to add to this, what would be the point of keeping the terms of the deal secret if it's just a simple investment on the part of MS? You'd think "Open" AI would want would to be open about these things.

In my biased sample of SFBA tech companies it’s pretty common for PMs to know at least enough SQL to be dangerous. In early stage startups there’s no analyst to lean on, so they need SQL. In late stage companies there are data lakes and analytics databases specifically designed to be easily queryable, so SQL offers the best flexibility.

But you’re right, many of them are wizards in <whatever query language our tool uses>. Like VizQL for Tableau.
I'm not one to trust police, however I recognize that police work is stressful and scary at times so it is more plausible to me that police are having panic attacks, maybe a form of mass hysteria about fentanyl rather than tons of them lying about it. I do not disagree that police have a serious honesty and accountability problem though so i'm sure there have been cases where it was lying about the fentanyl.

Well, you said it yourself: admonitions, AFAIK, aren't directives, and executives can and—of course given their incentives—will ignore them.

I’m a solo dev, and just last night got a good local docker compose workflow setup for writing rails apps on my m1 Mac using Colima last night.

When I fired it up in vs code, I was immediately presented with all the dev container stuff, and I wasn’t sure what to do next.

I assumed I’d write and store all of my code locally in my Mac, then just use volumes to sync it over and run docker commands on my machine to interact with the app…

Should I use dev containers instead? Should I use dev pods? I want to be able to leave code for a while and come back and easily fire it up, I want simple deploys on single servers when ready (compose or swarm)…but I just keep running into so many options I’m getting confused.
Sounds like we need an experiment. The best one I can think of is to freeze ice in presence of a tracer gas and then check if that gas is released upon melting. I'm not sure I could pull that off. Got any better ideas?
I don't buy this at all. People at this level of power are held accountable if they make easily identified crimes where their individual culpability can be proven. Heck, even Holmes own criminal judgement shows that. I know the Internet's take on the situation was "She was only convicted for stealing from rich people, but not for defrauding normal patients, because the justice system only cares about rich people." That's BS. It's just simply that there was much more of a "smoking gun" that showed her directly lying to investors to get their money, while it's at least plausible she thought she could generate accurate results for patients since in many cases they were taking full blood draws anyway.

Besides, it's impossible that Holmes crimes wouldn't ever be discovered. I commented elsewhere, but the technology Theranos was selling was simply impossible - capillary blood at very small volumes is simply not homogeneous enough to give accurate results for quantitative tests. Holmes jumped off a cliff without a parachute and thought that if she gave enough glowing interviews to credulous news outlets that she could somehow keep from hitting the ground.

Totally understandable. When I was of school age (last millennium) every morning I had a stomach filled with dread. School is a miserable experience of judgement and pressure.

Yup. From the article:

That's not a "condition" and shouldn't be de facto medicalized. Treat anxiety when it doesn't match reality, sure, but there are plenty of perfectly logical reasons for students to resist school as it currently exists.

How to Fuck Up Your App Store Listing
Prioritizing profits is a part of capitalism. Capitalism is simply the private ownership of the means of production, but the interests of the capital owner are to use capital to accumulate wealth, which leads to exploitation of labor being a method. This is especially so versus the falling rate of growth as an industry matures. The tendency of capitalism then is to consolidate into an oligarchy of major dominant corporations and conglomerations, which is that aforementioned cancerous growth.

Capitalism won out over previous modes because it outcompeted them. Granting laborers some economic power (as opposed to slavery or serfdom) turned out to be an enabler for economic growth.

In the example of WFH, markets could end up winning out in the end as new telework industries outcompete the prior office commute industries. This could end up enabling innovation to be untethered and accelerate.

Switches are usually the first to go in all my Logitech mice in the past 20 years. I resoldered those several times in some models (e.g. Performance MX). I wonder how and if these repairs will be accommodated. Furthermore they usually put screws under the feet that are not really meant to be reused (I did reuse them in the past but that ended up looking rather ghetto).

The fact that the wealthiest guy on the planet (in a time of unprecedented wealth disparity worldwide) who has 8 kids with 3+ women and is a notorious troll that makes dumb jokes on twitter gets any credibility when commenting about morality is just a reflection on how broken our society is.

If you're not doing work that is almost bound by law to be done in an office (like certain segments of finance due to insider trading laws, or defense/aerospace research due to secrecy laws and national security), let people work where they want to.

I love the office, I really do. I understand why some people like the office, and why some people don't. But I'm not in the majority, and I don't want to impose my ideals on others if said others can be just as productive at a space of their choosing (within reason such as time zone, etc...), let them do it.

Of all the "IP" laws, trademark laws actually serve a necessary role in society, and their applicability is actually pretty well limited. Trademarks exist to make it clear who is actually selling a piece of merchandise you are buying.

Trademarking a common word is not usually a problem, as the trademark only applies within a specific industry. For a famous example, a small IT startup (Apple Computer Company) was allowed to use the same name as one of the biggest and most famous record labels in the world - the Beatles' own Apple Records. Both continue to exist to this day, with their respective trademarks, though of course their relative importance has slightly shifted.

Now write a dialog between Mary and David discussing the dialog between Alice and Bob.

----

Mary: David, after listening to Alice and Bob's conversation, it seems to me that Alice is empathizing with John's intentions, while Bob is more focused on Jane's feelings.

David: I see what you mean, Mary. But don't you think Bob was right to emphasize the importance of understanding Jane's perspective? John's actions had a clear impact on her.

Mary: True, David, but Alice also made a valid point. Adventure often involves stepping out of one's comfort zone, and John was just trying to bring that element into their journey.

David: I agree that Alice made a good point, Mary, but it's also essential to remember that adventure doesn't have to mean neglecting your partner's feelings. Bob was right to highlight that.

Mary: Indeed, David, both Alice and Bob have valid perspectives. It seems to boil down to striking a balance between pushing one's boundaries and respecting the feelings of others.

David: Absolutely, Mary. The balance between seeking adventure and maintaining empathy seems to be the key takeaway from both their conversations.

Why would anybody put a dedicated support button on a keyboard?
No, it does not collide with "canonical" (colloquial, I'd say) definition of streams, when you think about it. It's only a matter of guarantees on a stream. It is not buffered reads/writes that make a stream.

I can take a bunch of XMLs, "stream" them into a TCP socket on one end, feed that socket to "XML stream processing library" on another end and... Watch it blow up, because apparently the only streamy thing about the library is that it can handle asynchronously filled buffer, but will nevertheless blow up if fed anything but a single well-formed xml ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You are 100% correct! In fact, i will extend that to state that the U.S. should have a better social safety net which would include health care but other resources as well. I know in some circles social safety net is a bad word, but I imagine many workers would more readily move around if they had something to fall back on.
