One of the things that made Go good is that the stdlib may not have everything, but what it has was production grade in terms of performance. I don't see value in spreading work out thin just to have something in the stdlib.

I hadn’t seen musical intervals used to express ratios between things that weren’t pitches, but I think it’s an interesting idea. I guess all they really are is a nice name for specific ratios, so it makes sense that they could be useful in more contexts. Has anyone seen them used in other interesting contexts?
Things were already trending this way, years before the current generation of AI models. AI models just reinforce the underlying cause from a new direction: IP protections have become effectively unenforceable in many (most?) research domains.

As a consequence, R&D in many areas that would have been published a couple decades ago are now pervasively treated as trade secrets such that the literature has fallen quite far behind the state-of-the-art in some areas. This includes a lot of computer science R&D.

The actual doing it seems wild/absurd, but I don't think that would hold me back.

This is ignorant/uniformed, but, taking research chemical by ingestion feels like I have some natural barriers still. Where-as I feel like there's a much more raw exposure to risk with injection. Also there's dumb risks like infection, if I don't attend well enough to injections.

In spite of these protests, I think you are probably much closer to the truth here. Thanks for writing. These reactions I have are, I suspect, not really significant.
I swear there needs to be legislation on this kind of thing.

I understand that companies need to fight fraud and ban accounts and whatnot. They're not always in the right, but they're certainly not always in the wrong either, and they're private companies so I can respect that it's their decision.

But we need legislation that can't be overridden by TOS that:

1) Forces companies (like PayPal or Amazon here) to transfer all remaining funds to you via check, unless they actually go to the trouble of suing you for the funds in court to prove they were stolen/fraudulent/illegal/etc. It's your money unless a court says otherwise, end of story

2) Forces companies to give you full read-only access to your account rather than ban access or delete info completely, so you can retrieve records and communications (like in this case)

A long time ago I would have thought the free market would have resulted in these outcomes anyways, but that's clearly not the case. So why don't we have legislators fighting for these common-sense solutions?

Hmm, I guess that's a good rationale, but unfortunately it's still useless. I believe that websites adopted the simplistic "don't track me" language because they want to appear to be embracing the law. I've asked a lot of people (> 100) what it means to them to be "tracked" and they have no idea what it means, but they're afraid of whatever it means.

I think it's possible that in the end, AI will make everyone wealthier nevertheless. Just like people today posses the level of conveniences unimaginable to the elites of the past, in the form of smartphones, global delivery, cheap flights, instant access to information, etc. Being able to afford an unlimited, available 24/7 health-related consultation for $20/mo is also wealth and so is being able to single-handedly create an app that would otherwise require a team of 10.

Also, it seems to be that information that is helpful just doesn't like to be contained. Comparing with StackOverflow, its popularity didn't make developers less likely to participate in the community. Instead it made programming more approachable to a much larger pool of people and more software were created, which made our life easier. If something is intended to be used only for consumption (media) it tend to say closed. But if something can become a building block for others, people generally seem to want it to spread.

Keyboard layout is identical to 32SII, save for the orange-shifted SETUP above the ON key and an extra top row of blank keys, presumably for some kind of menu functions. Interesting indeed. The 32SII's forte has always been pure number crunching, with most functions reachable with a couple of keypresses. It had a rather limited program memory, which this version can rectify.

I'm not sure. I don't have a personal credit card to check.

I know there are extra fees for business/corporate credit cards, and these are specifically excluded from the EU cap. (The cap was for consumer protection, so business transactions aren't regulated.)

Foreign (non-EU) fees are also not part of the EU cap, as there's no way to control those.

It could be poor wording on the sticker, or it might be including the other fees. The 0.3% is just Visa/MasterCard's fee, there's also the fee from the card processor — HN is familiar with Stripe, but there are many companies offering this.
I like this idea. I'm sure the automobile industry would suddenly increase their interest in politics.
That makes no sense. They are subsidized exactly because the cost to society is vastly lower than having even more people drive their own cars. Every single person who takes the bus or train rather than adding one more car to the roads is making the society a favor. The point is not to make transportation purely market-driven – the market cannot efficiently solve that problem due to infrastructure being a) really expensive and b) a natural monopoly – the point is to balance the social and ecological costs of transport with the demand for mobility.
This is the first time I have come across another person who actually gets the true meaning that AI will have in the long run.

AI will exhibit to humanity its true social basis, and upend the fundamental ways we relate to each other. Intellectual Property will be exposed for the fraud that it is, and the concept of owning or profiting from efforts which stand on the shoulders of our neighbors and ancestors will become untenable. It will take a few generations, but this is inevitable.
But none of that supports the assertion that C makes it hard to use good libraries. You can even use libraries not written in C if you want.

If the argument is really "it's impossible to make a good library in C", that's different. I'd very much disagree with that, but it would be to the point.

If it's such an inconvenience for the US to extend their military to beyond their borders, why do they keep doing so?

They should just stop doing that if it's such a trouble.

Of course, we know they won't, because it serves US purposes. You are just too dense to either see or admit that. Keep pretending that the US is some sort of self-sacrificing entity, just to protect some ungrateful Europeans Across the pond.

That Iwata quote kind of rubs me the wrong way, especially with Nintendo and Sony releasing extremely flawed emulators in the past. On top of games designed for CRT TVs often not looking as good on modern screens, we have emulators introducing low FPS and jerkiness (Sony PSone Classic) or making games look worse by rendering certain scenes without fog (Switch Online N64). With commercial emulation of early 3D consoles especially, you often just aren't getting an accurate representation of what the games were actually like.

(Although credit where credit is due, Nintendo's recent Game Boy Advance releases ship in one of most accurate GBA emulators around.)
We have to buy seat boosters, just because auto manufacturers can't make seat belts adjustable for kids.
No I'm not, this is a false dichotomy. The resources that chatGPT was trained on are available in their raw form and it is easy to google for official golang resources/search stackoverflow for golang problems. Before chatGPT you would go out and find these resources, read them in the form designed by the original author, and think through the gaps between your intuition and what the author has written.

You can still do this today without a financial cost, because the choice was never an either/or between paying for a human tutor and learning. And just because there are now nearly free and shitty tutors available, it doesn't mean learning should be done via these means / is effectively done via these means.

Your relative’s sad story reminds me of a short story I read a few years ago about a miracle pill that leaves about 90% of its takers perfectly slim and able to stay that way eating anything, after a few truly disgusting initial days of elimination, but kills the other 10% gruesomely.

Because it’s so wonderfully effective for the majority, there ends up being a ton of social and economic pressure for anyone even slightly overweight to take it, despite said 10% risk of death.

Conspiracies are part of that turning your brain off, as they supply in a nice simple explanation for what is actually a complex situation caused by many different factors and actors.

For each concrete gripe you've described, we can see that the dynamic exists. We can imagine ways of trying to reform it or at least reign it in (this isn't to say that doing so is easy, due to entrenched interests). And if someone else disagrees with you on some of those issues, perhaps you can still find common ground with them on others.

What do you get from tying it all together, labeling the whole thing "Great Replacement", and imparting some singular motivation ? It would seem that you gain a group identity and a rallying cry, but at the cost of misdirecting your energy onto easy targets instead of the root issues you started with.
My iPhone pro is a high refresh screen, my TV is 120hz and my gaming rig has a 7900 XTX. Going from that to 30fps is a pretty jarring experience. Obvi it is a small handheld device from 2017 so the expectations need to be set correctly - but doesn't change the experience. Nintendo has always been at the bottom when it comes to graphics though - but that is intentional.
LangChain is undeniably the best option for building demos.
I switched for similar reasons, but went from Ubuntu to Fedora a couple years ago. I like Debian as well, but its a bit slower to release at every 2 years unless you stay on testing or backports. Fedora releases are every 6 months, and the kernel seems to update faster than that. I've been using docker and toolbx for things where I need vendor tools that are somewhat distro specific. Even if you use Debian I'd recommend toolbx for developers.
I think the important contribution of Meijer and RX is realizing the duality of IEnumerable and IObservable which enabled them to use the same programming constructs. The meat of RX is in all the combinators so you can express complex behaviours very succinctly.
Even though I kind of mostly agree that you almost never should implement your own rb tree, this advice is also kind of disempowering and I worry that it is part of a mindset that accepts the status quo when it is so often the case that we could have better things if we just got our hands a little dirty.

The notion that the system mails things to certain local accounts is still quite strong in FreeBSD. In fairness, it's a notion that has a long history in Unices in general; so it isn't FreeBSD Think.

On the gripping hand, it's mad that it's still Sendmail, although that is going to change. It's 2023, and the fact that a FreeBSD system still has the traditional ~2000 lines of indistinguishable-from-line-noise "DO NOT EDIT THIS" stuff in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, complete with whole bunches of rules for UUCP, is rather amazing.

I wonder how many small FreeBSD systems out there are spending their time double-bouncing cron-job mail that cannot be delivered. (-:
