I'd like to hear more about how you've found more honesty in the private sector.

"academia doesn’t really do this anymore"

I've heard this from more than one current or former academic. Some argue it's due to market logic entering academia. It sounds like you take a different view?
When the establishment financial press is saying the markets are failing, it's valid to question why mainstream media and political leaders have done such a poor job of informing the public.
> Thank you for steelmanning this.

For steelmanning what, and what argument or rebuttal are they making?

> Most of the other comments resolve to textual downvotes.

What does this mean?
This is a weird argument. No food is /intended/ to feed humans. Every single thing we eat is just some random bit of plant or animal that happens to be nutritious.
> For instance the only reason C++20 added designated initializers was for improving C compatibility.

That would be true if you ignore the fact that designated initializers are superb syntactic sugar that greatly contributes to fewer bugs and better readability.
What do you think that dirt is going to do to you? What about if you have a child who rolls around in the grass and then comes in? Or a baby pram who's wheels go everywhere, or a wheelchair user enters your house, or you have a cat or a dog?

While I do take my shoes off in my hall and wear socks in doors all the time, I think the no shoes thing has entered meme territory.
If there are swift and just penalties for unethical behavior, then one does not need to actually learn how to be internally ethical, they just need to learn the social and political framework that's already established.

As you might expect, it's among "one of the most popular" courses offered at Harvard.

> You need a pair of shoes at every exit

How many exits do you have? Most houses have only one front entrance. All other exits lead to the deck or garden, where people just go barefoot.
Interesting. I grew up in the Midwest and I had never heard of the concept of taking off shoes when going inside until I moved to Seattle.
As a MacOS user with a Logitech Ergo mouse, I haven't figured out how to navigate at all, and have to get my external trackpad out just to move around.

A hot take perhaps but now I'm curious -- Is this an American/New World/Big-Ass-Country (I could see Russia/China caring) phenomenon?

A lot of British people, especially when being smug and nationalist online, speak about how their tiny island took over so many other big places.

I never asked a Frenchman and obviously it's in bad form to ask the Germans...

The Scandis ""benefit"" the most from the distortion but never really had empire apart from in the neighboring areas, so I don't know if they ever think about it.
Humans are mammals, like cows, so biologically we share a great deal in common, including the production of milk for our young.

It doesn't make sense to argue against consuming something on the basis of "what it was intended for". Nature makes no such distinctions when it comes to acquisition of energy.

Fruits and vegetables are not "intended for human consumption" either, they're intended to spread the plant's seed away from other competing plants. Cooked cow muscle fibers, also known as steak or beef, are intended for movement, but they are also delicious and nutritious. Organs of ruminants and birds, such as liver, are also extremely healthy for humans to consume, but they of course were evolved with other purposes in mind.

As for "big milk", well milk is an extremely dynamic food used to produce a large variety of delicious products like cheese, butter, cream, yogurt, whey protein, cake, milk chocolate, etc. Milk consumption also pre-dates modern advertising by 9000 years or so, with earliest signs of human cultivation of milk from cows dating back to the Neolithic.

And to the extent that you choose some milk alternative over milk itself, are you just falling for the Big Almond or Big Soy industry's alternative propaganda?
Not going to mention the Odyssey would have been the more appropriate reference? The Iliad isn't really that long.

This is actually routinely happening in Delaware, several other cities including Newark have enacted this law.

I could never see the appeal of VFF. Just drop the shoes and go barefoot. Your soles will get used to it very soon. And when the weather gets too cold for that, it is likely too cold for VFF too.

By "happy", I mean that they're choosing to continue working where they work. They're getting a benefit from it. Otherwise, they would make a different choice.

If they continue to work at a place that makes them miserable for whatever reason (fear of loss of income, status, change, whatever), then I do have sympathy for their emotional problem. But in the end, they can choose to have a different situation.
Using Reader Mode (at least on Firefox) and reloading will also bypass the paywall and you also get the added benefit of an easier to read article.
actually, since there is a short delay between article loading and the nag screen, you can even click "reader mode" just after (re-)loading the page and get it to work

I recall protesting to my parents by asking if they got shit from their own for being glued to the tv as kids but they also explained it was different back then.

I mean look, it very well may be different now. I don’t have kids and have no expertise on any science of child rearing. But “it isn’t the same as it was 20 years ago” is also something I heard 20 years ago.
In college, I had to make a line follower car that could drive over a line drawn with segments of black tape. While most folks just used a micro-controller to write their control loop, I made a set of op-amp circuits to compute the power to each wheel in analog.

It took a while to get good resistor values, but the night before the project was due I managed to get it working really well. So that was cool, and I got to catch up on sleep. Well the funny thing was that the next day we tested our line followers in this big lecture hall and the courses were not directly under the lights. So my beautiful analog line follower started following its own shadow!

Of course, the more diligent students had already tested their cars under these conditions and found the need to put a little hood over the photoresistors so that they only saw the light reflected from the car's own LED.
Not without a constitutional amendment.
I'm kind of obsessed with this space and have spent way too long setting up VS Code and RStudio IDEs on my homelab.

One area I struggle with when thinking about building container-based development environments is the best way to avoid mixing in your IDE specific dependencies with your project dependencies. I think some of the commercial tools do this, but I haven't gotten in set up well in my homelab.

I just came across two articles by a former GitPod employer who moved to Coder (these are the two main providers of open-source VS Code in the browser solutions). They're both really interesting.

The first is on how effectively Microsoft has used VS Code to fracture the market place to their advantage by strategically open-sourcing parts of VS Code while keeping many of its best features proprietary (Pylance, the python language server is a good example of this). https://ghuntley.com/fracture/

The second article is about why he thinks Coder's strategy is more promising than GitPod's prompting him to go work for them. It's not as detailed, but it touches on some of the parts of container-based development environments that I've found overly limiting. https://ghuntley.com/integrate/

FWIW I often throw this random factoid out there when someone presents an overly broad "humans in general" argument/observation. The reaction is usually polarized :P
I can for sure see how the 'big board' approach isn't good (and it looks like they're attending to this to some degree with the new Dev Mode features). I'm curious what handoff experience you had before that was better. Prior to Figma (as a designer) my workflows were always "send a PDF with designs, export some assets", which I imagine was non-standard, and not great, so I'm wondering what was improved for you before?
From the article: "Finally, mass shootings are on the rise even as overall gun violence appears to be falling."

You can use your own domains. They give you several extras to choose from if you pay subscription. Out of hundreds of websites I used it on I've run into issues maybe twice, and they are all easily solved by using another domain they offer.
Oh wow. This is going to be a misstep.
One day Google could sell or just quit their cloud like so many other businesses. Microsoft likely not. QED.
certainly true (first c++ standard was in 98) but i think this is more a library issue than anything else, which isn't germain to this article. i haven't read the article in depth, but things like new/delete, constructors and virtual functions in wide use in 93. and let's not forget that C itself was only standardised in 89, and it took vendors a long time to catch up with that standard.
> I get the feeling that I'm being used as a Guinea pig.

I understand that feeling completely. I travel all over the US and rely upon it. Google Maps is my only copilot and it can give some really puzzling suggestions.

My last fun one: I was traveling on an interstate and had ~5 miles to go until my exit onto a highway (which I was then going to travel on for ~50 miles.) Instead of continuing down the interstate, it had me exit at the nearest exit, then get onto a rutted out dirt road (which would have connected with the highway.) All to save a mile I guess? I quickly turned around when I realized where Maps had lead me.

One other time I was leaving a residential neighborhood and it literally had me driving in a loop around the block until I restarted the navigation.

It's pretty much a requirement to look at where Google Maps is actually going to take you before setting off, and that's unfortunate.
I love the way he is basically modelling the way we interact with an editor as a grammar, or in mathematical terms. It's so interesting what kinds of designs you can come up with when you can successfully apply a different way of thinking about it.
Ask HN: Do You Trust HuggingFace?
They are a for profit company with lot of VC money that is cornering the market as a repository for open source (or freely available) ML models. They also now have an Arxiv like repository of ML papers, plus their own Transformers, Diffusers, Accelerate, other? frameworks... it's too good to be true and it doesn't sit well with me. Do they have a clear way of making money that doesn't end with them screwing us? Until I understand what they're up to I don't feel very comfortable relying on them.

Nothing unfortunately. It seems reddit has enough network effects & compliant users/mods that they can do whatever they want and people will tolerate the abuse
I hear what you're saying.

Personally, I don't feel that I have any right to tell others that they need to put themselves at risk in order to make the conditions right for accelerated change.

But I do agree that simply engaging in self-protection without also doing what you can to actually change the situation is ethically dubious.
The bill seems to say that if 1,000 people own a parcel of property with a corporation, the corporation would get one vote.

Also, if an individual owns many llcs, they only get one individual vote.

So the absolute maximum votes would be city residents + city parcels.

I've always thought of assembly language as the arithmetic of programming. You can do anything programming-wise with assembly (ignoring micro-instructions). I don't know what the C equivalent in math would be but can't see it going away for the same reason eliminating the math equivalent wouldn't make sense.
I consider these either proxy-search engines or meta-search engines. Either way, it still accomplishes the goal of a search engine for the end user, even if it’s not the one doing the heavy lifting.
Is it that surprising/arbitrary though?

1. It's very useful for sailing

2. European nations who were good at sailing created the age of empires (yes this was a bad thing)

3. These empires persisted until the end of WW2 (1945) or arguably even the Suez crisis (1956) at which point the American/Soviet world order began

Changing a map is changing everyone's internal worldview, and for obvious reason empires were not about to allow such a massive change unless they had a good reason[0] so It's really only been about 80 years and most of them we were at war with the Soviets, so when we thought about maps, we thought about if they were red or star spangled, not which projection.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just not at all surprised we have the "original" one.

0 - I could easily see an alternate history where e.g. the Spanish and/or Portugese use a different one if it makes them look "better" than the English, or vice versa. Now i'm curious of what projection could be 'anglo/iberi-maximal'
Thats a cool idea. I am guessing you need this because say you create a resource like an EC2 instance you meed some kind of ID or even IP address to pass to some other infrastructure code or even application code. Otherwise a preview would be OK?

I use Pulumi but I am assuming concepts are similar.
The second sentence of the article strongly implies some nefarious concentration of power and wealth among the globally powerful countries is at the root of the popularity of mercator projections.

The Organ Grinder in Portland was a pizza restaurant with the architecture designed around a large organ system, and reportedlly that one was parted out, rather than preserved as a whole.

https://www.pstos.org/instruments/or/portland/organ-grinder....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_Grinder_Restaurant

(Given that Portland saw an influx of people, and the "keep [city] weird" memes that seem to appear during gentrification, I was a little surprised to hear the entire landmark organ and architecture didn't get preserved in place somehow. Maybe it hit financial troubles a bit too early for the more affluent immigration?)
AIUI Sifive's most recent board and VisionFive2 have working EDK2 UEFI.

VF2's is early (boots Linux, but only from mmc. No NVMe, USB or display yet), but being worked on by StarFive themselves.

In the future, with OS-A Platform spec, you can expect RISC-V computers to be no different than PCs from a user perspective.

Under the hood, the platform is modern, and carries none of the legacy x86 PCs do. The scope of standardization is also broader: It's not just interrupts, timers or memory map, but also things like the interfaces for Watchdogs, GPIOs are being standardized.

Do you think this will compel people towards meat-only diets to avoid the billions of insects and other critters harmed in the production of plant-based food?

Realistically, meat is N+M, where M is the cruelty towards animals in the production of food for animals. But M still remains if people keep eating plants.

As an engineer at a large company whose moonlighted as a designer it's felt like a huge win.

It's now way easier to both stop designers from adding one-off design and interaction patterns that confuse users and to write truly reusable components that allow us to iterate faster as a company while maintaining a high level of visual consistency and polish. That's a big challenge once you start hitting org sizes in the hundreds or thousands.
Yep, that's the one I was thinking of when writing that example.
Heh. I heard this in a cybernetics lecture in late ‘92 or early ‘93. I have never been able to track down the original either.

It's not the funniest tech urban legend story I've heard in a lecture -- that award would go to the kangaroos-with-grenade-launchers story -- but it is good.
To a less extreme extent, that was the case in my Bay Area school district. One school had phenomenal scores (due to a feedback loop of parents willing to pay more for housing to send their kid to a higher achieving school force their kid to achieve highly making the school higher achieving, raising house prices), and the others ranged from so-so, to pretty meager.

They were probably all fine on a national average, but the funding definitely got dumped exclusively into the worse off schools, while the high achieving one couldn't scrape enough money together to repair their busted pool.

Hell, the entirety of Los Angeles is under 1 school district. You're going to try and claim there isn't variance in student success/socioeconomic status between the highschools in Koreatown and Beverly Hills versus those in Compton?

Maybe California has different incentives when it comes to school district organization, but that scenario definitely "really happens" here.
Here is an interesting take on why the kakoune approach may not be an improvement over vim. Definitely well thought out.

Automated Deployment of PostgreSQL HA Clusters Anywhere
Creating a robust database cluster is often fraught with challenges. A manual deployment process can be fraught with risks, particularly for those who lack extensive experience. Even minor errors in configuration can drastically affect your database's performance and stability.

Recognizing this intricacy, many businesses choose to use cloud-based managed databases. These services offer convenience but not without limitations. These drawbacks can include being tied to a specific cloud provider and limited direct access to the database server for adjustments. These constraints can hinder your ability to tune your system and perform thorough performance analyses.

In response to these challenges, we've developed a project to make this process easier and more efficient. This project uses automation to streamline the deployment of High-Availability PostgreSQL Clusters. By doing so, it helps mitigate the risks involved with manual configuration and speeds up the deployment process.

Our solution caters to various deployment environments. It allows you to establish your cluster either in your own data center or in any cloud, providing a robust database solution similar to managed databases, but with you retaining full control.

> vi clones

This is the problem with moving off vi motions: you can get vi motions almost everywhere. Jetbrains, check, Visual Studio, check, vscode, check, sublime, check, firefox, check. The best I found for Kakoune (which I do significantly prefer) was an approximation of it for vscode, and nothing else.

- IPs are relevant

- Your DNS server is relevant, especially if it's google's or cloudflare's or youe ISP's DNS

- ETags can be used like fingerprints

- LastModified can also be used for fingerprints

- Pragma can be abused for long-living fingerprints in your Browser Cache

- AdMob has ultrasonic support. Not kidding, ads can be delivered to your phone while you watch TV - via unhearable sound signals. [1] usually called uXDT or XDT.

- Chrome has multicast DNS support to discover surrounding devices (and Browser instances). Check DNS-SD for details, and what can be discovered.

- Also the data for Chrome's locally trained neural net (aka FLoC) is inside the profile folder but won't be cleared with Browser History.

- (unlikely) TLS fingerprint is usually coupled with User-Agent on the server side, so rotating your User-Agent is pointless if you don't change the TLS fingerprint (which you can't without recompiling the Browser Engine).
