>Any sensible writing of the policy would come with reasonable bounds

Oh, so we presume that our left policymakers are sensible and reasonable?

There's a joke about economists where the punchline is "assume a can opener..."

>If most would be in favor of it, then referring to it as a moderate policy is reasonable.

A supermajority of Labrador Retrievers in my household believe that a eating a 12oz can of Crisco from the pantry is a fine moderate lunch, but that eating the 2lb can would be unreasonable.

>are you under the belief that American Liberals are Leftist and that the left is all about flags, gender identity, and student loan debt relief?

The Old Left && its economic policy prescriptions have been a dead letter in the US since the '90s. The cultural focus is more useful to peel off blocs who might be inclined to vote, as an afterthought, for a redistributive economic policy.
I’ve never had access to the SQL standard, but in things like HTML and CSS I know I reach for the specs extremely regularly, and that when working with SQL (mostly PostgreSQL or SQLite, including sometimes having to support both) I get frustrated at the general poor state of SQL documentation (and certainly a lot of this is because of engine diversity and), and have often wished I had access to the SQL Standard (even though I know engine diversity significantly lowers its value for users of particular databases—my ideal would probably be a version of the spec augmented with engine support and links to each engine’s documentation of the matter). Certainly the table of contents for this spec sounds delightful.

Not all specs are particularly accessible (e.g. ECMAScript is often hard to follow if you haven’t spent a fair bit of time around it—it’s mostly natural-language code that works with a ECMAScript virtual machine), but most of the time, I would much rather have the actual spec over someone’s digested summary that covers what they thought was important, but regularly lacks details important for my situation. Some specs are absolutely magnificent. The HTML Standard is my very favourite as both a piece of spec work and as reference material.

Seriously, specs are really good stuff and it makes me sad how people often ignore them because they assume they’ll be inscrutable. (Similar remarks apply to legislative texts. They’re normally pretty easy to understand, and you find all kinds of sometimes fun and sometimes useful gems that potted summaries exclude.)
Feels more like Half Life Alyx would be the killer app for VR instead, but I'm not sure what the replayability is. Maybe with a VR gmod based on it or something?

What's your opposition to Chromium? Do you use a low powered machine?

I've sucked it up and use a ton of electron apps. I can hardly blame anyone for doing that given the terrible fragmentation of hardware and lack of easier to use unifying APIs. Sometimes we just don't have time for that shit :)

Why would you want Usenet to be like reddit? Reddit is awful.

99% of posts are a desperate grab for attention. Every comment is one of:

- a smug, know it all response by someone who thinks they are an expert in some field rather than a loser who spends their day on reddit

- an attempt to be witty

- some reddit saying that gets repeated over and over ("man got that dawg in him" and so on)
Meta Quest 3. Coming this fall
I'm pretty sure Netflix is out of the club. I can see why no one wants to remove it from the acronym. It's probably ok now that Facebook is now Meta.
May I ask what the hype is with Zig? What makes it so attractive?

Is it the performance? The easy interop with C? The ease of controlling the memory allocation?
Unfortunately, for people who are predisposed, going away to college or falling in love can also trigger a psychotic break. I don't think we would tell people not to do those things though.
Would this qualify as more CPU errata?
I think we don't notice our expectations have gone up, and we don't notice that we remember the hits and then expect all hits.

We didn't notice the misses at first, because it's what we expected to begin with, and we very strongly noticed the hits because they were unexpected. Now we notice the misses and expect the hits.
Being somewhat familiar with ice hockey cause my kid plays, and having read the description of this offsides, ice hockey is much easier because you check position of the skaters relative to the line at the same time as the puck crosses the line. My kid's league has instant offsides, so you don't have to keep track of potential offsides, but you do have to allow otherwise offsides if the defenders put the puck in.

Under IFAB law, you have to keep track of where the potentially offside player relative to other players is at the time that the ball is kicked elsewhere, which means having eyes focused in more than one place at once. Not an easy job.
Agree, but having the LLM explain how it arrived at the output will be crucial for provenance and anti-hallucination purposes. Judges don’t care for fabricated evidence or citations.

It is for me. Having to wear a headset is a huge ask, no matter how slim and light it is. I'd do it for a compelling enough reason, but nothing in the VR space is anywhere near compelling enough for me (yet).

But I won't buy one from Facebook, no matter how awesome it may be.

Good, then you're on the path to figuring out what a better form of money could be.
I‘m usually in the camp of buying official Apple accessories, because the details matter and are better than in knockoffs. Stuff like the strength of the magnets in the stainless wristbands.

But: I have the silver Milanese that came with my Series 5 and noticed that it destroys the fabric of my long sleeve button shirts. Quite annoying that this apparently didn’t receive the same thoughtful care like other Apple products.
MorphMarket.com | Senior React FE or FS Developer | Remote | Full-time | Contract | https://www.morphmarket.com

I'm the founder of MorphMarket.com. We are an online marketplace that connects breeders and keepers of lizards, geckos, snakes, frogs, spiders and other captive-bred pets. Launched in 2015, we are the largest reptile-related website in the world with about 5,000 active sellers. Our users passionately love the least loved animals.

We are seeking to add another experienced React front-end developer to our remote team. Alternatively, if you are a full-stack developer with Django Rest Framework skills this is a plus.

Our reptile site is implemented in Python, of course. We use a Django/Postgres/Redis backend and new frontend development is in React/Typescript. Our legacy pages use JQuery/Bootstrap. As a FE dev, you could think of yourself as a Python handler. :)~

You can see some of our recent work in this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz05fICRnNI

Key skills: React, Javascript, SCSS, Bootstrap, JQuery. Good knowledge of flexbox, debugging, browser caching, performance profiling, web performance fundamentals. Pragmatic: ability to balance quality and speed. Nice to have: Django Rest Framework, Typescript, React Native, AWS Services, webpack.

There are about 10 people on our product team. We collaborate with Github and Slack. Our business has done well even through the ups and downs of the economy. We are committed to a positive culture for the dev team.

This is a full-time, long-term engagement. Most working hours should be during US timezones.

Please contact us at jobs@morphmarket.com with a statement of interest, relevant qualifications/experience, and billing rate. Thanks!

Rumored to be a flagship release for the AR headset that’s also rumored to be announced next week. Things like these really show the huge competitive advantage of the M series chip from Apple. There’s no other production chip with the same performance vs power consumption which is so important for AR.
Isn’t this generally the case for everything?

Things can go bad in any experience.

You can go zip lining and things can go bad. You can go through any experience and can be left with various degrees of physical and mental damage.

Does that mean we shouldn’t do anything?
I find this the case, but I've also found anomalies where I one day watch a movie that's been in my watchlist for years. One day something that seems stale just seems new again. Not sure why.
High end malware development.
It just means that services that allow bad actors get blocked. Like Google Groups.

I have and enjoy using “public” Usenet servers like eternal-september and SDF which disallow spam and hold users accountable for their actions.

Cybersecurity seems to be rife with people who did some sort of bootcamp or cert or associate degree and who don't really seem to understand what's going on. It seems to attract people who consider writing code too complicated for some reasons. So you'll get all these "best practices" and "vulnerability analysis" but no understanding beyond "I ran this tool and here are the vulnerabilities it found".

From my experience, hiring for these roles is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
I mean, it was all around the same time. But I would argue it was a correlative effect, not causative. People were already moving on to web based message boards, more and more people were viewing Usenet as a place for warez & not discussion boards, etc. I'm sure there were people for whom that was the final straw, but I can't imagine that being the true nail in the coffin.

Personally I stuck with Usenet until the early 2010's. But it was so low signal that in retrospect I'm not sure why I bothered.
Hm he has a custom version of Android now with its own app store with millions of users. Wondering what one could do with it...

Why would anyone want to work with a helmet on their head at all times like this? It's like saying the endgame for computers is all communications will be over video phones like on the jetsons. It sounds like a cool scifi concept until you realize even if the technology is there people would often rather not be seen on camera when they talk.
I agree that all of the example in the blog post and bbc article are nonsense. However, I think that you're slightly wrong in this statement:

> I think the implication was that there was some sort of systematic campaign to erase Indian records of that knowledge

The blog post is more specific than "Indian records". The blog post is talking about the Vedas in particular. I don't know much about the Vedas, but this looks a lot more like biblical literalism to me. The references to the Raj and to stolen knowledge are used to bolster the Vedas as a primary source of truth.

> Even by today’s standards, if properly applied, these Vedic Sutras can create most advanced technological instruments and mammoth machines ever known to mankind.

> Science expanded its views in the area of observation as well. Thomas Edison developed the light bulb and the motion picture based on Vedic principles. Sun rays emitting illusory rainbows, speed of light and its composition are all explained in Vedas. The idea that light defines or makes our universe visible can be found as explained by Shrila Prabhupada in his purport to SB 2.9.4 “In the darkness one cannot see the sun, nor himself, nor the world. But in the sunlight one can see the sun, himself and the world around him.”

FWIW, I think that it's pretty straightforward to suppress knowledge though. You can record knowledge into books, but it's not really known if no-one is reading the books or using that knowledge. You can suppress metal-working know-how by eliminating metal-working jobs. The Raj had a profound control over India which affected the available areas of work, which would affect what people wanted to learn. You don't have to explicitly ban a topic to make people not want to study that topic.

I feel like it's easy to avoid spam on Usenet at the moment because few spammers give a crap about Usenet. If it became popular again this would change, just like the first time it became popular.

That said, one of the things I really liked about Usenet is that the client was entirely in your hands. Some of the Usenet readers were incredibly sophisticated and no internet forum software has ever come close to offering an equivalent level of utility. I would jump on a "Usenet, but with moderation/spam control baked in" in a heartbeat. In fact this is pretty much what Reddit is, which makes me sad that they're trying so hard to Digg it.
Or they get canned
It's pretty much a separate implementation. It reuses a version of the Nix daemon because Guix targets the same derivation format as Nix, but the whole machinery that produces derivation files is completely separate.

Guix compiles first class package definitions down to derivations, so while the idea of package management as a function is front and center in the Nix UI it is abstracted away in Guix, which instead builds up a tower of transformations from the Scheme DSL to Scheme builder scripts and derivations.

I'm Justin. 5 years of industry experience. BSc. in mathematics and MSc. in computer science. MSc. research focussed on polyhedral optimisation of array programmes with LLVM.

Most recently worked as a quant developer on the high-frequency automated market making of cryptocurrency options on various large exchanges, using Rust. Other experience includes banking, high-performance data analytics and smart energy.

I'm mainly looking to remain in the cryptocurrency/finance world, but I am genuinely open to all interesting suggestions.

I am also interested in collaborating on developing and implementing trading models, automated or otherwise, and have a good bit of experience with using Python/Pandas to this end (as yet unsuccessful).
The snippet sounds a lot like "Live at the Village Vanguard" which was recorded a few months later. But it's a great era in Coltrane's output.

Also, I had not realized that Reggie Workman was still alive. Now that McCoy Tyner is gone, he's one of the last performers of the Coltrane/Dolphy ensembles around (amazingly, Roy Haynes, who played on one track of the "Live at the Village Vanguard" box set, is still performing at age 98).

It is different in the sense that you can sign up for it without having a Facebook account and actually not have them connected at all. It's good enough for me. What was not good enough was having your Messenger friends randomly inside your VR headset, and that has been fixed.
I disagree.

Hello games has ~40 employees, apparently up from ~20 years ago.

343 has over 500 employees... maybe 750? I am not sure. But they spent at least an order of magnitude more manhours on Halo Infinite (not even counting help from other Microsoft branches and carryover work from 3 previous Halo games), and just look at how Infinite ended up compared to NMS.
I thought process philosophy's emphasis on dynamic interactions and transcendent organization might be of interest to HN. Like you, I suspect it could make for an fruitful exercise or two.

Regarding James, Heidegger, Dewey: I don't think it's so much the willing or teleology as an inclination to emphasize process and becoming over being and permanence. That and a penchant for fusing subject and object.

Nietzsche is maybe a stretch, I agree. The author of the piece is a fan. Perhaps that goes some way towards explaining his inclusion?
Its a good honeypot.
Again, I'm not going to be goaded into discourse only to be digitally shouted down via a massive downvote. This already should say a lot about the current state of our culture (and politics).
And likewise, the presence of excessive AI-generated content also turn away a lot of people.

The day HN stops banning ai generated posts and comments is the day I leave forever.

Maryland put "War of 1812" on the plates because of the Battle of Baltimore, specifically the siege of Fort McHenry, which inspired Marylander Francis Scott Key to write the poem that would later become the national anthem.

Fort McHenry is in the lower left of the license plate.

The star spangled banner flies above it.

The "bombs bursting in air" are the fireworks.

It doesn't commemorate the war, it commemorates the anthem, it just says "War of 1812" because that's when the event occurred.

It was a terrible design but I've got amateur radio plates so I avoided it.
The only quote from a striker from the article was:

"I'm not suited for in-office work," said Church Hindley, a quality assurance engineer (via The Guardian). "I deal with depression and anxiety and I was able to get off my anxiety medication and start living my life."

So yea, it's plausible the author inserted their own cause in there.

Either way, one of the keys to striking is you have to have direct reasons for the strike as a group. If 10 people interviewed say 10 different things, it just sounds like people bitching. If they all said this particular strike was for RTO, it would have much more directed power.
