It satisfies your requirements for tag-driven organization as well as has some great search capabilities to help you find what you need as your library grows in size.
great. it has a VScode plugin, and exporting to CSS or swiftUI. that's all anyone will ever need. definitely worth fully buying into. im sure this will stand the test of time
Everyone makes the mistake of trusting Google once or twice. At least in this case it's just a domain name, easily transferred anywhere. It would suck to depend on a GCP bespoke service only to have it disappear next week.
Kysely looks interesting, although I really like being able to write the query directly so I'm able to test the raw query directly. PgTyped is an interesting library I've used in the past where queries can be written as regular template strings that gets checked and responses become types. https://pgtyped.dev/docs/ts-file
Some shoes are easy to put on in a moments notice - and doing so will just become habit. If you want some shoes in the office, invest in a pair of decent slippers or some shoes just worn inside.

A cabinet is often enough to keep the shoes from the puppy - just borrow it from somewhere else. The puppy won't be a puppy forever.
If the Large Hot Pipe Organ showed up on this website I'd have to fight the terrible compulsion to try and find a budget for it ...!

"The Large Hot Pipe Organ is the world's only MIDI controlled, propane powered explosion organ. The LHPO's pyro-acoustic explodo-rhythmations will throbbatize your earholes and dance-ify your booty and make you realize what "Industrial Music" REALLY means!

"Performing live at contemporary art festivals throughout Austria, Germany, Denmark, and Holland, the LHPO is an experience of sound, light, heat, rhythm and fire you won't want to miss."

(At least it was, as of a couple of decades ago.)
This is an incredibly myopic view, the "internet" is now composed of the most psychologically addicting programs known to man, and no one is safe. It's so powerful it's having meaningful negative impact on our democracy and meaureable impact on childrens' mental health.

Map projection trade-offs are discussed a lot. I studied it at school, I can't count the number of "do you realize how big country X compared to country Y" articles, (the one linked here is a good one btw) and it often pops up in trivia questions. Everyone has seen a globe, and non-Mercator maps are everywhere. Famously on National Geographics.

Also, using a (truncated) Mercator projection for a GDP per capita map (or any political map that isn't about land mass) is not a bad idea as its most notorious flaw becomes an advantage because coincidently, it tends to enlarge small countries and shrink large countries, which makes for a more readable map.
C is better because it doesn't try to program for you, it isn't clever, convenient, or have any ideas about how you structure or solve a particular problem. It gives you basic functionality and then gets out of your hair and lets you ge on with programming without making a grand statement about computer science. For people who actually like to program and don't want the language to do it for you that is pretty attractive.

It also turns out that if you remove all the fancy abstraction and write everything out, the code becomes very maintainable and easy to manage. The fact that its about as portable as a program can be helps. I find that most people don't want to write C, but almost everyone is pretty happy interacting with C code written by others, because its simple, fast, portable, easy to integrate, and bind to other languages, and most non-C programmers can read it and have a rough idea of what is going on.
Huge mistake to run as a Democrat. I think he would have a decent chance against DeSantis and Trump, though.
Hi everyone- I’m Matt Locke, who wrote this WITI, and I just want to say I love all your comments, especially about selenium toning, which we also did at Art School. This thread is quite the nostalgia trip for me. Thanks!
How is that any different form the past several thousand years of civilization? Hitler wasn't the first or only genocidal dictator. He wasn't alone in the 20th century either. Colonization and the slave trade were worse, albeit spread over several centuries. But empires waging war, conquering, enslaving, eradicating other groups and manipulating citizens has been going on for a long, long time.

Plato wrote to counter the sophists and skeptics of his day. The gospels have Pilate asking Jesus a philosophical question, "What is truth?" This is hardly new, just the technology is better.
I don't do ads. Nuff said.
No seriously, the GTK C bindings are basically written in a half-formed version of the old C++ "C with preprocessor macros" syntax.

It looks like this when you program it:

GtkWidget* grid = gtk_grid_new();
GtkWidget* label = gtk_label_new("Hello World");
gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), label, 0, 0, 1, 1);

That GTK_GRID bit is a macro that evaluates at runtime and will chuck out runtime errors if the widget doesn't match. It supports inheritance. If you have for example a gtk_combo_box_text, you can use gtk_combo_box_set_active(GTK_COMBO_BOX(my_combo_box_text), 0) and it will select the first entry in the gtk_combo_box_text because gtk_combo_box_text inherits from gtk_combo_box like any good object oriented system.
To make this concrete: terraform for me has been part code, part configuration.

I define a resource, and provide a whole set of knobs on that resource. That's the code part. I test that code against a variety of configurations, the same way I might unit test application code against a variety of app configurations. I also verify that changing knobs from one setting to another behaves. With automated testing, this actually isn't all that hard to do. Once I've verified things work right, I deploy.

At this point, I will default to trusting that things will work. This is the configuration part. Set these knobs to whatever permitted value you want, and the system will update behavior based on those new values. Most of the time, things like this work. That is good enough for me.
You're assuming you know the use case. We do more than serve LAMP stack. It takes more than a few playstations I can assure you.
This, basically.

I need storage to work, and I don't have enough time to get into ZFS's guts unless I'm going to do a video or longer blog post on a specific topic.

TrueNAS gives sane defaults, exposes most of the basic features through a (relatively sane) UI, and... works.

I still use ADM on my older spinning disk NASes, though—RAID 10 just works, and is fast enough for what I need, and the fact I have three copies of everything (one 'offline' (ish) on Glacier Deep Archive) means if I do ever encounter a corrupted file, I can grab a copy from one of the other backups on different media.

If you're a storage nerd / data hoarder, then it's common to spend more time and go deeper than what something like TrueNAS or some other UI gives you. Otherwise it's like the McDonald's of storage software.
Thank goodness it's not something that's for sale, cause that would have been another thing for my random tech pile.

That explains it. My previous phone was a Samsung and it came with an app called "Calendar" that's not present on my current [non-Samsung] phone. Wonder if I could copy it over with ADB? Guessing it wouldn't work on a non-Samsung phone though.

If we imagine that excess water from Wyoming is used to grow crops in California, it seems reasonable to assume that it would be less moisture/precipitation for Nebraska.

But if it is used to grow wheat in Colorado (because the obligations to lower-basin states need to be met regardless and the increased moisture allows more diversions across the continental divide), then it probably ends up evaporating anyway or else in the Platte River. It wouldn't be stealing moisture from Nebraska, they might actually benefit from it.

Geo-engineering might not have a free lunch, but it also isn't a zero-sum game.

Dude, we evolved on different continents for 50,000 years. We look different. Our bodies' biochemistry differs (different medications for whites + blacks for blood pressure). Why do you think brains came out the same? They didn't, and all the hard data, and all the evidence of everyone's eyes - how black vs white, or other populations, live, shows that. It's ugly, it's not nice, people don't know what to do about it, it's a can of worms, but it's true.

Counterpoint: I have indoor-only shoes, and I feel a lot like Mr. Rogers when I put them on. I put them on while working from home because it dramatically increases the likelihood that I will take a break and walk on the treadmill during work.
Seems like a really substantial release to me. The new built in functions min, max, and clear are a bit surprising, even having followed the discussions around them. The perf improvements seem pretty great, I’m sure those will get much love here.

Personally, I’m most excited about log/slog and the experimental fix to loop variable shadowing. I’ve never worked in a language with a sane logging ecosystem, so I think slog will be a bit personally revolutionary. And the loop fix will allow me to delete a whole region of my brain. Pretty nice.
Jaw dropped looking at that. Absolutely disgusting business practice. Glad the FTC is stepping in.
Thank you for making this :)

I wish more services were made with Tor access in mind, and that such services would feature on HN more often!
Not exactly. Most models of reading involve at least two steps: (i) decoding and (ii) assigning meaning. Decoding is translating written letters into blended sounds, then meaning is assigned.

There is very strong evidence that skilled, fast readers rarely rely on context for decoding, and conversely, that students who are only taught context-based strategies for decoding rather than phonics tend to struggle with reading, find it a chore, and have trouble reading quickly.

But for the next step, assigning meaning, context is valuable. Skilled readers do use a variety of context clues, including images, to infer meaning of words they have not encountered before or whose meaning is potentially ambiguous.
What is being discussed is using context clues to determine what a word is, in the sense of mapping the sequence of symbols on paper to a word. When you teach children to read, you want to use words that they already know.

Once you have the word, infering the meaning of it is a seperate skill.
> Instead, you use the word that, as best I understand the English language, signals political support

"Preponderance of the evidence" has a very concrete legal definition, one that is very easy to Google. The qualifier "very firmly" implies that the evidence for is overwhelming.

> I've yet to see how anything you refer to is "health care" in any useful meaning of the word.

Transgender health care ranges from options as dicey as surgery (any surgery is dicey by definition, though some such as Orchiectomy are ambulatory and can be done under local anesthesia) to medication such as puberty blockers and hormones. And access to this sort of health care is being threatened for children, adults that are older than the common standard of 18 but lower than some arbitrary number pulled out of some lawmakers posterior, and even all adults, period.

> they need for survival

It is necessary for survival in the same way that anti-depressents are a non-negotiable necessary for some folks to function - except gender-affirming care has _much_ more consistently positive outcomes.

There is of course one more obvious difference between the two. The existence of anti-depressants don't cause insecure men to be terrified that the next woman they catcall might have been born with male genitalia.
> Google Maps is still way better for business reviews, opening hours, or even existing businesses.

Google Maps has become pretty poor at indicating existing businesses unless those businesses are largish. And I don't want my map application to tell me business reviews, opening hours, or any of that stuff. I just want directions.

So Apple maps is more my style, although I actually use OSM these days.

I also wear toe socks, and while I agree with the author's points, here are some other downsides that they fail to mention:

1. Flipping them right side out after laundry takes more work than regular socks, because you need to flip each toe individually

2. Also when doing laundry, you need to match the left and right foot, which takes more time. Be sure to buy packs with different colors, and don't be like me and buy 2 times the same pack.

3. They take more time to put on.

So basically, these 3 all boil down to: they require a little more work. But they're worth it.
I spent my summers at that age reading lots (probably a book per week) and spending 6 or more hours a day learning guitar and listening to the same handful of CD’s. If not doing those things I was out with my friends playing a sport in the street. I imagine if I was that age now I would be spending a huge amount of time on TikTok and the remainder on Netflix. I fall into the same traps as an adult with responsibilities despite wanting to spend more time reading, playing guitar, and hanging with my friends.

Yeah the internal codenames in engineering aren't malicious, i.e Apollo makes sense. But a project name? Na, that's picked intentionally.
I tried toe socks but found they really made my toes cold! I find that gloves make my fingers cold, too. I'm much more comfortable jamming my hands into my pockets. It's a shame about the toe socks because I've been wearing barefoot shoes for over a decade and am still dealing with a bunion on my left foot. I've been working on strengthening my hallucis abductor muscle so I can splay my big toe away from the others.
You can do that too, I just chose to use an external drive to keep things simple and compare apples to apples in terms of NVMe performance (part of my reason for installing TrueNAS was to compare its performance to ADM built into the NAS, running with the same 12-drive storage layouts).
That means it had revenue that was growing.

We don't know what the expenses were. It's still possible it wasn't profitable.
One thing I notice that you do not take in account nor do the child comments is that you are comparing your daughter to your son.

I mean, sorta? Odds are super high that you learned to decode a word into constituent parts. This includes syllables, letters, and phonemes. For some languages, this also includes gender, tense, etc.

The sham is that you can basically learn to read by learning to predict the missing word in a sentence all of the time. And that you can treat words in a phonetic alphabet as the same as words from a logographic set. To the point that many teachings flat out ignore the phonetic breakdown of how to decode a word. This is often hilariously displayed by having people not realize that English uses a phonetic symbol set.

To your edit, both? I used the example of "sake" earlier. Just decoding that word, you can see roughly how it can be pronounced. Knowing that I said I was "drinking sake" likely changed how you originally pronounced it. But if you don't know what sake is, then it will take a lot of context to fill in the meaning for you.

And a lot of learning is pitting words against expected meanings. Amelia Bedelia is a great set of books that go into this. Such that, yes, you almost certainly have to use context to really get the meaning of words, but you need to know how to decode words for a lot of that context to work out.
IBM has known how to play vendor lock-in and death by a thousand related products since before computers could fetch instructions from memory, when most of the world still thought just shipping what their customers need was where it’s at. (Evidently—if unfortunately for my worldview—that doesn’t contradict there being a lot of very good engineers there.) They may be dying a slow death, I don’t know for sure but I can imagine that, but just making their stuff worse for business reasons is not by itself a symptom of that—it’s simply part of their normal lifecycle.
The ruling ANC is a 3 way alliance between the actual ANC (Nelson Mandela's party) , the largest trade union, and the South African Communist Party. They believe in heavy handed intervention to help the economy grow.

Amongst many other problems this includes a policy of cadre deployment. I.e the party faithful running all state institutions which are legislated to be monopolies as much as possible. Naturally the party faithful have zero skill in running the institution and need to deal out massive amounts of patronage to keep in favor. This includes all senior members of the justice cluster as well obviously. Even a saint would be corrupt in this environment.

The old apartheid government were also heavily corrupt but managed to at least make sure state institutions were run by semi competent people and kept a limit on the amount of corruption.

The ANC is also learnt from the apartheid government and like the good racists they have become have also steadily replaced staff of the wrong race in those institutions but haven't bothered worry about knowledge transfer so all the old seniors engineers who knew how and why things work are gone.
Wait, like THE Google Workspace subscriptions are moving? Do you have a source? I might have missed that in the announcement - sounds like a total disaster waiting to happen..
okay gotcha.

I'm definitely talking about the second example here (assigning meaning). I learned Phonics as a kid (Hooked On Phonics and all that), guess I never thought about it much as an adult.

Though I'm not the fastest reader, my retention is typically higher than average, even as I age, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
> C is better because it doesn't try to program for you, it isn't clever, convenient, or have any ideas about how you structure or solve a particular problem

Why is that better though? I personally appreciate it when cleverness and convenience make my life easier, my programs less buggy and less likely to end up in a CVE, or point me toward better structure.

> It also turns out that if you remove all the fancy abstraction and write everything out, the code becomes very maintainable and easy to manage

History shows that this isn't true though, not in all cases.

I'm dubious of the "confirmed internally" part unless their source is someone in a high level in the CFO's org. It's not really possible for a regular engineer or someone else working on the product to know exactly what resources the company is providing their project in terms of salaries + benefits of everyone involved, hardware/cloud allocations, marketing, legal costs, accounting, customer support, insurance, other vendor fees and tons more. You might think that the tiny server or DB you are provisioning from a seemingly infinite pool or that email exchange with legal are free, but there is a dollar value attached to everything.

> How can you miss a quarter of the school days and keep up?

Not a problem, as public schools move at a glacial pace. In 8th grade, the teachers were still going over the times tables with them.

In high school "honors" class, the teacher spent an entire semester on the concept of "molar mass".

My experience going through the bowels of the public school system was it was fun place to be with your friends. Any learning was incidental.

Of course, the magnitude of this disaster made it very difficult for me to get my feet under me in college.
