It's a matter of comfort.

I was doing imperative programming for years, and more functional now.

You've got for loops, list comprehensions, newer dict comprehensions, map/filter, generators, etc. in Python.

Python programmers tend to prefer for loops and comprehensions. List comprehensions, especially, dict comprehensions being much newer.

Living mostly in the pre-Java 8 Java world, I used for loops as much as the next guy, like the rest of the Java world. But I really liked list comprehensions. And then Java got streams and map and filter, etc., and wow, I loved it. Even most Java programmers started embracing the new "functional" paradigms.

Now that I've been both (and its more powerful cousins in Clojure), I'd say map/filter are "more readable". It depends on the implementation too: try merging two dictionaries in Python, ugh [1] [2]. Awkward any way you slice it. Watch out what version of Python 3.x you have! Watch the order of arguments, and some variations modify in-place! You're also never sure if your result will be a list or a dict.

Try map'ing a dict in Python: don't, it's not worth it [3]. These things are actually pretty easy, even in Java, let alone Clojure.

For the record, Clojure has map/filter and list comprehensions (called for comprehensions, and they're even more powerful than Python because they can terminate early [0]).

So, yes, in Python, map/filter can often be a pain. They were afterthoughts, and less readable than the alternatives. For languages with powerful map/filter and friends, these functional equivalents are much more flexible and readable. And it appears that most people that are familiar with both prefer the functional variety.

Just out of curiosity, what was your crypto hypothesis?
Yeah. If I ever wrote a backup system I'd do this too, write the whole spec for the format first to every medium. A 100k specification describing the format is nothing to waste on a medium which can store 10TB.
Can't you run it now or does that build include some arm only units?
I didn't hear that, but that would be useful. Plug and charge makes a big difference.
Mint is very clearly an herb. Given the right conditions, it will also pretty much overtake large patches of garden and lawn. I generally take a very Darwinian approach to what grows in and around my garden given that any careful curation tends to get overtaken by native grasses from my field. But the mint can be a bit much--though I mostly let it do what it wants at this point.
I played 0ad nearly every day about 5 or so years ago. What a blast from the past.
Aren't multi-story parkings a thing in Texas? They can massively increase the parking lot efficiency while costing relatively little (mostly steel and concrete for pillars and floors, almost zero walls).

Closeness to a highway could be beneficial for a factory, too.
I've got this request a lot. And honestly its not too hard to implement for this module but it would make other modules reallly hairy. I might implement it in a way that it only applies to certain modules.

One question: Would a dropdown of tuning options(Standard/DADGAD,Drop D) be enough or is there a strong case to be made for user customized tunings per string?
It's still possible to violate the license. I guess a "fat jar" distribution could be a trouble.
We aren't arguing universal truths. This was a fought war with context. No claim of universal truth was made.

> They don't continue until every wrong has been righted. It is far from clear that the us would have entered the Pacific War simply to to defend other countries, even if us strategists wanted to.

Once the US entered the war and thus entered into deeper agreements with allies it was inevitable. The war was never ending once the US righted its own wrongs. It made promises to allies.
I know several who did. They get macs through work, and that was "good enough" that they stopped caring.

Personally I hate the macos desktop and window management, and prefer Linux on a few others things, so I'll keep using it as long as I can.
Yes, I think that's a working definition, but usually referring to non-woody plants.

Some students cheat. As an adjunct instructor at the university level, I had similar experiences.

You have to both adjust your expectations and make a significant part of your grading use an in-person one-on-one oral exam or project walkthrough.

It is a huge commitment of time - most professors I know seem to have quietly accepted cheating will be be rewarded because they don't have enough time to verify student performance.
Not sure if related, to Schaefer's theorem, but I dove into Answer Set Programming [1] recently, which follows this approach, enabling the use of fast-ish SMT solvers, which are a generalization of SAT solvers! Boolean/Propositional Logic is to Predicate Logic as SAT is to SMT. There's a very nice course about it from the developers of Potassco, one of the best open source Answer Set Programming framework [2].

The syntax looks like Prolog, but predicate negations are a first class citizen, avoids infinite loops.

Prolog's approach is like a depth first search through a search tree -- ASP is like a nondeterministic turing machine, exploring all branches simultaneously from the bottom up.

This is my take as well. Given the relative pain to configure ts projects in node. Especially with the harder lines between esm and cjs modules. It's kind of painful at times in the node space.
I meant easy to verify for the consumer of the reviews.

Like the Amazon reviews talking about a bicycle when the produce someone is looking at is a random usb stick.

And if a competitor targeted someone, the Glassdoor reviews should be subpeonable, and there is a legal framework for extracting compensation in that case. Takes a lot of time and effort though.
Why does it need to be Open source? The one you settled with (Safari) and seem to like the most is the only one that isn't of all the others you tried.
I added my email to your mailing list, but also please feel free to reach out directly to me over email (it's on my account info).

I put together an observablehq notebook with a Stick fretboard (https://observablehq.com/@cscheid/hanon-01-diagrams-for-chap...) for me to work on some fingering patterns, but something like fretboardfly would be so awesome (even if it were just one side at a time). A configuration file like "string tunings + fretboard markers" would totally do it.

The difference being that X development has essentially _stopped_ because it's so complicated that nobody wants to touch it anymore. Does it work? Yes. Is it mature? Yes. Are apps more compatible with it? Yes. Will it evolve from there? No. While Wayland has been picking the slack slowly, it has been usable for years now and apart from the screen sharing issues and occasional driver problem. Wayland will continue to get better and make a graphics stack that's more adapted to modern needs.

I don't think this is just another bubble about to burst. I mean, the bubble bears have been talking about the imminently bursting bubble since 2016. The past couple years are what that burst bubble looks like. Hype-driven companies going out of business, disappearing unicorns, pullback on VC, massive layoffs, bank implosions, tons of tech stocks pulled back by 70-90%, consequences on the likes of Theranos, SBF, etc.

The current AI wave is 95% hype (ultimately useless/broken crap invoking LLM APIs or AI art app du jour) but some of the companies are clearly useful (transcription, summarization, categorization, code generation, next-gen search engine, etc.) and will disrupt traditional services and scale large.

And AI infra companies (AI hardware, AI software on top of hardware, and generic AI model SaaS) will make tons of money as those app companies scale.
If I were a long-lived species that had relatively low numbers of offspring with an extended maturation time spent in social groups...

... it seems pretty reasonable that a death could trigger a lifelong vendetta.

If humans were casually killed by other animals at the rate we casually kill even the most intelligent non-human species, we'd exterminate that other species. Oh wait, we have.
That's an extraordinary claim, tbh. Just poking around on Supercharger.info shows ~32 sites starting construction since the beginning of May. That might be overcounting slightly if they overlooked some that started a little earlier, but I doubt it is overcounting by 4x.

The transformer shortage is not a new problem. There's a reason that the pace of openings hasn't really changed that much.
Depends if they meant rates or rates by age. If you mean population rates, then rising life expectancy caused by a decrease in other causes of death would absolutely increased overall pop alzheimer's rates.

If other causes of death were eliminated, you might also see an increase in alzheimer's amongst those in the same age bracket. This might be clearest with an example.

Suppose we eliminated heart disease. Life expectancy would increase. What would happen to the rates of other disease? They would go up within age groups. Because you still have to die of something. If heart disease can't take someone out, that means some other factor will be available. Much of the time people have more than one condition.
And this effect produces an increase in rates. Let's say that an entire population gets two dice. They roll the first one, if it's even they're out, otherwise they roll the next one. About 1 in 12 people are going to roll a 6 on that second dice. Now let's say for that first dice, you're only out if you get a 6. Now the odds of getting a 6 on the second dice is about 1 in 7, not because the second dice is any more likely to get a 6 but because a greater percentage of people who would roll 6's are rolling that second dice. The first dice in this analogy are diseases that we can now deal with, the second dice are the more intractable diseases.
I'm not sure if the serif-icity is the jarring part, I think it's the different point size (or whatever that word is for the horizontal height lines that fonts live within).

I'm curious why type/font technology hasn't developed for variation in letters, where a handwriting or printing typeface (or "Ransom" :) could vary the letter "a" so all the "a"'s don't look alike, the same as happens irl.
> Surely runtime NULL dereferences could be traced by a good compiler in some debug mode? Are obscure segfaults the only way?

To the experienced C programmer, segfaults implying runtime NULL dereferences are bread-n-butter, not at all obscure, eh?

Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gauge, nor any of the numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver.

Ask HN: Is the EU AI Act coming too slow?
Currently I organise a seminar about AI and Democracy. In the organisation team there is a philosophy student linked to AI Alignment research.

As the seminar happens in Germany and focused on Europe we talk about the coming AI Act. We said the interesting remark giving the current

I like to discuss this remark with the community and ask: Is the EU AI Act coming too slow?

Not a total freeze, but it had slow motion. I thought it was a clever approximation. You can see it here:

But they don't claim that your legal team should not be bothered? I mean, that's the strange part, not the license itself

Still, if one had to plan to land and start a small insurrection, I don't think you could come up with a better place to do it. Niihau is extremely isolated, to the point it is difficult to get there even today.

It's more just a license that's an ad. It basically says "contact sales" and tries to anchor at 10% royalty payments.

It comes across to me as extremely sleazy. There would be lots of other ways to commercialize something without putting ads in your "license" and pretending (at least in the HF statements I've seen) you have an open source offering.

At the same time, it seems like basically pure play rent seeking - there's no cloud or some ancillary reason you'd pay, it's just "give us money for the privilege of using it". It's actually awful terms.
> There have been 23 decennial censuses since 1790. All but one between 1820 and 2000 asked at least some of the population about their citizenship or place of birth. The question was asked of all households until 1950, and was asked of a fraction of the population on an alternative long-form questionnaire between 1960 and 2000. In 2010, the citizenship question was moved from the census to the American Community Survey, which is sent each year to a small sample of households.

Show HN: dotnet-console-games (40+ beginner-level coding project ideas)
I have been working on the https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-console-games, which is a bunch of simple, open-source games written in C# with the goal of providing educational examples to new software developers. There are more than 40 games in the repository, and I plan on continuing to make more in the future, and contributions are very welcome. I also ported the games to the web using C#'s blazor webassembly so you can play the games right in the browser: https://dotnet.github.io/dotnet-console-games/.

I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from the C# community, but I wanted to share the repository here as I feel it could be helpful to other communities too. Even if you are not interested in C#, each of the games could be easily coded in other languages too. So, if you know someone who is learning to code and is looking for fun beginner-level coding projects maybe encourage them to give the repository a look.

Thanks. :)
Because it's an OSS project ran by volunteers, each of whom work on the features they are interested in.
It certainly could be done for many use cases, it would probably be ~a superset of the various transformers’ ASTs. But that could add a fair bit of overhead to runtimes, particularly for transforms which deviate significantly from React’s tree structure (eg Solid’s underlying dom-expressions).
It is important when a team works with PRs that it is clearly agreed upon what should be reviewed during PRs. PRs is not the place to discuss solutions. If that is your problem then solve it before you start coding.

I view PRs as a kind of luxury. At many corps the deadline is yesterday and any single mistake you make ends up in production without reviewing or testing.

I don't know. We don't know what their legislation looks like, and we don't have consensus on what dangerous AI looks like. There aren't any good regulation frameworks for controlling it either, so it could be that treading carefully is the best option. The industry hype is dying down to more reasonable levels than it was a few months ago, which should help temper expectations on either side. Effective AI regulation will require intersectional cooperation, and setting that up (nevermind governing it fairly) takes time.

I got this quote from the BBC:

"Figures show its [NVidia] AI business generated around $15bn (£12bn) in revenue last year, up about 40% from the previous year and overtaking gaming as its largest source of income"

So much for that 'newfound sobriety' due to higher interest rates. Tech stocks surged in the 80s and 90s despite also high interest rates.

How did this find players? People want "more Age of Empires II" (and to some extent more Age of Mythology). In the most literal sense of those words. 0AD got there earlier.

Other previous discussions (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10684532) were about pathfinding in this game. The pathfinding in AoEII is something. It's neither naturalistic, immersive, nor intellectually stimulating, which would be goals of mine and probably the average game designer in 2023. I'm not going to say how I really feel because I don't want to be downvoted over something stupid. The important thing is people love this pathfinding. It's worthy of copying.

0AD: People love more of the same. Another free & open source example is Pokemon Showdown. People want original untainted Pokemon so badly that Pokemon Showdown still has concurrents in the tens of thousands. Who wants to play competitive Wikipedia? Nearly a million people a day do.

Commercially: There was an audience for "more Breath of the Wild" before TOTK: Genshin Impact. League of Legends is more than a decade old now. Counter-Strike is almost as old as 0AD. Old reigns supreme.
