What ? First Perl6 wasn't meant as replacement for Perl 5, v5 was meant to stay forever, maybe to be improved when possible. And that we have.

Perl 6 was meant as the bravest experiment with C-like syntax in 30(?) years - attempt to nicely mix few programming paradigms and styles. And that we really have in Raku.

They was talking "Perl is dead" but it never was and isn't. Maybe it looked as clinically death with out of body experience into ideal language heavens but since decade or so it is back. Solid and backward compatible as always.

And there was problem for some with "parallel language versions" marketing so Perl 6 was renamed to Raku. The harder question was "Which one I need to learn ?", but it is newbie programmer question, you need to know many languages because it is standard programmer life experience. And it is XXI century and many technologies are around.

On the other hand Python usage is scientifically researched as being a "write abandonware" language :)
I must admit that my viewpoint is coloured by the fact that I work on repos where most devs use OSX.

I can do the principled thing as you describe it. And then I can be angry every time a new dev arrives who doesn't have their computer correctly set up yet, or someone reinstalls their machine, or anything like that.

Or I can do the pragmatic thing, add one extra line to the .gitignore file and forget about it forever.

In my opinion this is not a hill worth dying on.
It's certainly the case in JavaScript that the ecosystem has been changing at a very fast pace (too fast, IMO), but you don't need to buy in to all of that.
> If it were possible to determine the program name in a way that was portable

Every decent OS in 2023 should provide a method for this.

In a smaller company or office, it might be appreciated (they said they didn't have HR in their office, so probably pretty small).
Just wondering if anyone on HN may have a clue why "Product of Thailand" label.
Cities turn to ‘extreme’ water recycling
HTML for emails is notoriously difficult to get right. To be decent, HTML emails require arcane CSS rules, inline CSS, table layouts, etc., and testing in many different clients (because they all have their own quirks). Fixing something in for a client without breaking it for another client is not straight-forward either. Email solutions have worked around this via premade components—as a template, in React, or even as a UI with drag and drop.
It's definitely not as prevalent as it was in times past. It used to be people would work somewhere and stay for decades.. in that environment it makes sense. Now with the transient nature of employment and most people making 3 years max, I guess the investment from people isn't there.

In smaller firms I've had we've done this but it was precisely because of our size and relationships. In a larger company people might not be connecting the same way.
Debugging Heisenbugs: A tale of parallel processing
Absolutely. If you are tempted to turn this job down because it’s not the right fit, instead of turning it down, you should bring your exact concerns to them, both that you feel you are already leading a team successfully and that you want a clear pathway to leadership responsibility again. An excellent employer is going to listen and adjust to your concerns.
Haha I mean it’s strange considering IPAs were created for long-haul travels but fast-forward & we’ve now made hazy IPAs that don’t travel well at all.

Hazies typically have 1/2 to 1/8th the amount of IBUs (bitterness) to older school “west coast” IPAs which is why they don’t get the same benefit as older school IPAs which traveled better + had more stability due to the hops.
Yeah, pilsners seem to be the new hotness, and I couldn't be happier about it :)

(I've also very recently discovered how good NA/very-low-ABV beers are today, but that's a topic for a different thread.)
Geofence warrants and reverse keyword searches are invasive, but that is a reason to limit their scope, not to ban them

It is not unreasonable to ask who (whose mobile phones) were in an area during a riot. It is unreasonable to ask for the movements of everyone in a city for 6 months before hand. Some places (lawyers offices, health facilities etc) are particularly sensitive and warrants for them should be issued only in extreme cases (just like how it is much harder to get a warrant for a lawyers office).

None of this is different from any other warrant: asking for a search warrant for a house is one thing, asking for one for every house on a street is another.

I would support significant tightening of the US warrant system (judges are all too willing to blindly grant warrants with no actual thought or concern for citizens rights). But this is about balancing right, not one absolute right trumping another.
Western Digital Estimates HAMR HDDs to Emerge in 1.5 Years
Ah apologies, makes sense that name would be used outside the US too.
I've been chipping away at moving to my own flavor of JD over the last year. One of the first things I did was add one higher level with broad categories, numbered as x00. Tis way things are broadly organized, I still don't have to 'fundamentally' go more than two folders deep or 'have more than 100 folders', but I can use it for my entire work life despite having 100-ish actual technical projects.

Backporting old docs to this system is a real chore and honestly, I haven't been very disciplined about that part, besides moving old Project folders under the top-level Projects folder. But this is always going to be an issue with any new filing system, and I don't think there's a lot of value in doing it. Maybe would be an interesting programmatic exercise. But I, hotsauceror at his keyboard, am NOT going to go and retroactively assign a 753.0026 etc identifier to every document lol...

We implemented this for our shared storage at $DAYJOB. We had a long tail of decade old files on our shared drive, so we started again with the Johnny Decimal system on a new one. It's helped tremendously for us for finding stuff.

I had previously implemented it on my personal Nextcloud instance, but found it to be less impactful, as I already tended to over-organize my digital files.
There is only so much time in the day. Every minute spent in idle chit-chat where one might blurt out the wrong thing is time not spent dealing with the actual problem. Indeed, it is a mutually exclusive situation. It is not possible to do both at the same time.

There is no denying the existence of the model, but it is used to try and hide from oneself that one doesn't actually care and would rather take the fun road of talking about it instead. Which is fine. It is your life to live and if that is what it takes to get through the day, so be it. It is not the altruistic behaviour you are trying to make it out to be, however.
How do you know the cardboard box is OK to drive over? There might be something inside it.
Yes, but many manufacturers didn't particularly care about that. Especially not those in my country. Without pressure from the people and the following laws that were implemented by the government, BMW & Co. would still be happily developing new ICEs.

Also, the most ideal solution in my book would be to do less work, not more. Geoengineering requires quite a lot of work on a permanent basis.
Geoengineering climate change has been making some people very rich at the expense of everyone else. In order to stop or reverse it, the incentives need to change.

To stop digging the hole:

-- Implement a carbon tax that is significant enough to change behavior. Also give tax credits for holding land in a natural state to encourage reforestation & other habitat restoration. Either that or implement a Georgist single-tax policy to close the loop on externalized costs to the commons that never get addressed.

-- Get rid of farm subsidies so people pay more for foods that are more resource intensive to produce. Similarly, review other subsidies for environmental impact.

-- Impose environmental restrictions on the worst polluters on the planet: The US military. I'm sure they have a national security argument for all the wasteful and polluting things they do, but they need to rethink some of their positions. You can't protect something by destroying it. Climate change has national security implications.

Why should I support some of these experimental schemes that could have possibly unforseen (or more likely downplayed) consequences, like termination shock, when we haven't done anything to change the systems that have put us in this situation?
I've been contemplating doing this for a while now. I'm definitely ready to move on from my current city.

But what holds me back is, frankly, that I'm scared of not having any friends. I don't want to have to rebuild my social circles. It takes a lot of effort just maintaining my current friendships (as we all get older, get busy, drift apart, etc.), but at least they're there already.

How did you handle this?
Because in the US a lack of explicit laws against something is typically interpreted as legal support. See pretty much any disruptive business mired in legal controversy. It's a cultural difference to many other countries where just because there isn't a law against something doesn't mean people will jump at the chance to exploit it at scale.

Does SES still have a reputation for being flagged as spam more often than other senders?
Someone once told me it costs like $60K to register a crypto as a security... A chicken and egg problem. How will you get $60K without an ITO? Yet if you have an ITO in order to raise the $60K that you need to register your ITO legally, you're already in breach.

It has similar vibes as the US law which only allows accredited investors to invest in fast growing startups... 'To protect mom and pop investors' yeah right. Is there even a single person in the entire country who actually believes that?
Hi Zeno! To help you have some reach in Brazil, I just posted this on TabNews: https://www.tabnews.com.br/filipedeschamps/resend-nova-plata...
Developing the aircraft would cost something in the low billions if you can find a partner that is experienced in developing aircraft. It's not going to have the need for extreme optimization that you'd need to compete with the A220 or the F-22. It could take 5 years to a decade to complete the project.

A small test of a full-scale system would get answers to the above questions and would not plausibly have catastrophic results. The longer we wait to try, the more likely we'll be up against the wall and facing dangerous tipping points and it will be too late. And it all costs less than a failing social media site.
I remember using keybase and it having crypto payments with stellar lumens. Is damus popular?
Ah yes, anything but the most obvious cause.
> Why? When you look at all the biggest competitors like Sendgrid, Mailgun, Postmark, and SparkPost, you'll notice that they were all founded around 2009/2010, and they all have been acquired by now. Because of that, it's common to see them only prioritizing enterprise requirements and optimizing for sales-led growth.

So does this mean that Resend won't get acquired? What is your exit strategy other than an acquisition?

I can see the other things but "Apple home button scandal" either does not belong in the same league or there might be something I do not know about. Can you expand a little bit on your thinking?
If it helps e.g. local rainfall and other whether conditions it might be in the interests of coastal governments to invest in things like this, but if it only helps on a global scale, it's an issue.

You could maybe equate it to an equivalent amount of carbon capture and pay for it the same way. I'm not sure I'd agree with that, though, unless it was only paid at a lower rate than true carbon capture / reduction schemes.
Just a friendly pedantic point, it's "Elo", not "ELO". Rather than an acronym, it's a person's name; that being the rating system creator, Arpad Elo.
A brand new nuclear power plant was just taken into service here in Finland.

As a result electricity prices dropped about 5 cents per kWh across the board.

However, as noted before, this isn’t really all that interesting. The storage part is the big interesting trillion dollar question.

Adam Something explores why European Malls are doing ok and American Malls are dying.
The numbers don’t work at all for most people. It only works because we live there during off season as our only “home”.

Even then considering that we did a HELOC on our primary home (which is now rented out) , we still lose $12K a year that is only offset by moving to a state with no income taxes.

We also didn’t live in a state that thinks they have the right to tax you on all of your RSU grants that you got when you lived there even if you moved by the time the RSU’s vested.
I wrote an article about this system a while ago: https://www.dsebastien.net/2022-04-29-johnny-decimal/

I rely on it a lot for my personal data and projects. The simplicity and constraints have a positive impact on the usability of the organized information
I think having a lot of money but being anonymous and not caring about what people think of you - would actually give you “high status” in a lot of groups. :p
The link provided gets localized by the website, and there's no mentions of Russian support (except in the US version maybe?)
Do you have a good link? I think it's an interesting subject, but all I can find are posts made by SO mods and admins which are generally positive about using bots to detect bad posts. If there is a controversy, I suppose SO would probably prefer it be hard to search for.

I've thought many times about ideas for platforms which involve user-submitted content, and I've always given up on them quickly because I couldn't think of a good way to handle moderation. It's probably just wishful thinking that ML could significantly help with that.

I have invented a superior system - Johnny Binary.

It's basically the same as the described system except you are forced to categorize your files even more severely since every level of the hierarchy only allows two subcategories.

It must therefore be superior, right?

The '33 and '34 Acts give the SEC the ability to write the regulations, via wording like "under rules
and regulations which the Commission shall prescribe". Congress defines a variety of things, but the SEC makes most of the nitty gritty procedure/rules out of those definitions and directives.

The Howey test exists because the SEC enforced said new-ish regulations against someone, and the court agreed with them, holding Howey liable for violations of the '33 Act as implemented by regulators at the SEC.

All this makes the statement "No, Congress creates the rules" upthread inaccurate.

A problem of solar panels and other types of green energy is that by themselves they don't reduce CO2 emissions: we use the green energy on top of the energy from fossil fuels.

Even with all the green energy installed world wide so far, global CO2 emissions are still increasing.
Homestead exemption on property tax. In some states, property taxes are set by law to be astonishingly high unless the owning entity lives on the property for more than half the year. That owning entity can then legally claim the homestead exemption on their property taxes which reduces the tax owed by a specific amount. The owning entity can only claim the homestead exemption on (at most) a single property.

Property taxes cannot be set too high in some areas, though. For example, it is pretty common in Minnesota for families to own a primary home in the big metro areas and a second vacation property in northern Minnesota on a lake, to the point where it is basically an institution in Minnesota. It also has a very positive effect on the tourist economy in northern Minnesota. Since families cannot claim the homestead exemption on the vacation properties, property taxes cannot be set too high otherwise the tourist economy would collapse, so the city, county, and state administrations need to walk a fine line on non-homestead property tax amounts to prevent institutional investing in homes while still enabling families to own vacation properties.
Reminds me somewhat of nushell[0].
It's mindblowing what's possible with it. It makes the oneliners you normally write more readable, but I'm still using a "normal" shell (zsh) as I can't use these everywhere I want, compared to most of the oneliners that only depend on coreutils and can be run on any gnu/linux system.

If I'd need to install another tool to take my scripts with me, I'll probably would just use another scripting language like Python.

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate parallel, but it reminds me of Uber.

Uber seems to be successful despite clearly (IIUC) breaking laws that regulate taxi services.

If it worked for Uber, I can see why other businesses might have similar hopes.
Yeah, agreed. 2 rooks vs queen is much easier to play for the queen in most cases, I've found.

The queen can be good as a single piece whereas the rooks have to coordinate, which is hard when there's a queen on the board ready to fork. Often the rooks end up having to defend eachother, and if this happens suboptimally they can become very immobilised on a useless file or rank whereas the queen can fly around the board attacking stuff at will.

Like you said, material imbalance is very difficult to evaluate and understand. I generally recommend not to incorporate them into one's play until ~1700 FIDE elo. Though sometimes you're forced into it of course.

It's also a matter of style. I personally love materially imbalanced positions, and I'm pretty good at them, so I incorporate a fair bit of exchange sacrifices into my play. Because then I often get positions I understand better than my opponent and that makes up for the material on its own, I find.

But other players just prefer a different style of play and maybe shouldn't go for it even if objectively it's the best move, because they'll end up misplaying the position.
Yep that counts, thanks! Super interesting. Although I’ve come full circle now, to like “if only a handful of people have to be wrong, or corrupt, then… why hasn’t this happened more often?”
I agree, these mental maps you have to create is adding extra mental overhead, which apparently the author aims to reduce... odd.
Stay away from them.
I’ve been writing python code for about 19 years, and I remember yours or similar arguments about docker.

I completely agree. Docker has more or less saved python from its own packaging issues, especially in the cloud.

On local machines, I really found the most comical show of python distribution wreckage in RedHat/CentOS distributions. Back in 2015 or so, yum was tied to the system version of python. Heaven help you if you didn’t realize it and went mucking around on it (like me).

You have fallen into the trap of thinking that government bodies tasked with such things should be providing you a customer service -- but they are providing society with a customer service and you are treated as a road would be treated by the government, not as a driver would be treated.

It's a long read but there is a lot to unpack too.
Meh, this was a survey conducted at 4 different companies. It only proves correlation, not causation. And even then, it only proves it at these 4 companies since they didn't use random sampling from a larger population. Most of the rest of the article is unfounded speculation about the cause of this correlation. Definitely not an impressive study by any means.
Reliability to most people is a property of the system, not of the power plant.

Meaning, I don't care whether the power I'm getting got made by a power plant that can keep going 24/7, or sometimes gets supplemented by a battery, or there's some constant delicate balancing act going on between 5000 distributed sources.

So as a consumer I don't really care that nuclear is stable and solar isn't, the output of the grid is all that matters.
