Honestly the RSS support in Firefox and friends was just never that great. A long time back I used Sage and loved it, but when Firefox moved to use standardized plugins it wasn't an option anymore.

Seems to me a simple regulation like a fire department access in buildings could solve this.

eg1: What about a direct line to a 24/7 operations center with cruise?

eg2: Or how about a proximal access console controller that allows them to take control of the the vehicle (with occupants consent if occupied) .

This neednt be a total ban on AVs
Police and justice in particular were largely unscathed by "denazification". People like the fervent nazi anti-semite Willi Geiger, who was among other things a Special Prosecutor at a Special Nazi Court (with a death toll, having personally pressed and seen to the public execution of an 18yo suspected gay among other people), went on to preside at the supreme court and later became the longest serving federal constitutional judge of germany and also leaked all court internals to the adenauer government, are just the tip of a very brown ice berg.
CPU cache locality is not "real cache locality", it is just another place where caches exist and locality is optimized for. Your solution wouldn't work for CPUs either, other than that you could fit more data into a cache line - but that's like saying "increase the cache size to solve this problem", which obviously can help but is not addressing the inherent issue.

There are a lot of things that can be done to limit alcohol without outright prohibition that may be worth exploring. An example is what has been done with smoking.

1. Ban all alcohol advertisements. There is a ton of advertising that normalizes and glamorizes alcohol use.

2. Ban alcohol sales at large public venues like stadiums, concerts, etc.

3. Require companies to ban alcohol at all company sponsored events.

Doing these things would greatly cut down on alcohol use, while not prohibiting it and running into issues at Prohibition.
Thanks for mentioning profile support. For some reason I never thought to look into that, even though my own VSCode setup is definitely too cluttered.

The reason wasn't JS performance or Electron, but simply that bracket colorization was bolted on in an extension which had to make use of the existing extension API, which obviously didn't expose the needed internal features to properly implement bracket colorization.

The exact same thing would have happened in a native editor if its plugin interface didn't anticipate a particular requirement.
Organized crime at scale only ever exists due to the government manifesting it through a prohibition that shouldn't have been put into place.

The organized at scale (beyond just a gang in a neighborhood) aspect of it requires considerable ongoing capital infusion, which you can only get from a sustainable extraction of economy. It's that pocket of black market economy that is always created by government action, without exception. Every large gang operation in the US rides on top of government prohibition or otherwise preys on regressive regulation.

How is an asset that costs to do nothing worse than an asset that costs to be productive?

HN readers really struggle with basic financial concepts. A lease or an owned building is an asset that is utilized for income. If it is not being utilized it is now a cost with no return. That is now unneeded cost when analyzing income and investment.

On top of that if owned it is marked down at its value and any real loss in value needs to be marked down as well.

This is the real analysis going on. This is not a conspiracy. This isn’t complicated. It’s really basic accounting. So please think before brushing everyone off.
Can you teach old dogs new tricks?

Big companies are typically older. They were created and grew in an environment that knew nothing _but_ the office. Having amazing(ly expensive) offices were prized social signals for them and were huge attractors of great talent, especially when residential Internet sucked so hard in comparison.

They also employed tons of people in the area outside of tech (property managers, facilities, janitorial staff, accounts, etc.) and were embedded into their communities.

Also, their DNAs were built _around_ the office. I can easily sympathize with them saying that collaboration happens easiest when everyone's in the office; the leaders saying this likely can't imagine another way of working!

Asking a company as big as Google to simply give all of that up and rent WeWorks isn't impossible, but is a huge, huge ask. While some groups can easily switch to a remote workflow, as companies, they just aren't mentally or physically equipped to do that without a significant number of breaking changes.

That said, _my_ problem with how they are going about it is that they are walking back on their incredibly enthusiastic support for remote work during COVID-times _without saying why_.

Nobody's going out there and saying "So we were super excited about remote work, but after seeing a 30% drop in "productivity" year-over-year, we knew it couldn't be sustained." (This is a fake reason; I have no idea what the numbers are). They also aren't saying "We can't give up our office spaces without significantly wrecking the community that formed around us." Instead, their giving platitudes like "collaboration happens best in the office" and leaving us to conjecture the change of heart.

I love the fact that smaller companies are making remote work work for them, but I'm afraid that so long as big tech gets bigger, the effect is temporary at best.
I hadn't built a proper web app in nearly 10 years until recently. I did do some experiments with React/Redux a while back, and some Angular. While both made logical sense, I found RR quite confusing and Angular very heavyweight.

I tried SvelteKit 2 weeks ago after working through learn.svelte.dev and it immediately appealed to me.

Starting with one file in a route that holds JS, HTML and CSS was great. Breaking it up into components as I went along was natural. I think TailwindCSS helped here too, because I barely had to do any CSS work and could focus on JS and HTML.

It took me a while to understand the value of stores and where to use them, but then I hit upon a use case (big complicated multiple nested tree of mutable data).

After a few refactorings I had a very nice compact and easy to understand solution - nothing like what I experienced with RR and Angular.
Alice Springs and the NT are too different from almost anywhere in the western world to translate this elsewhere. For example it’s 3 hours drive to the next settlement that might sell alcohol, which makes enforcement a different proposition.
Because it simply is the solution that makes the most sense when the problem is "build lots of housing quickly".
But the GP was about pre-certification. We do that to some extent in the form of driver’s licenses, but as far as I know getting one is more or less a formality in many parts of the US in particular.
Climate change is going to impact the middle east most dangerously. Yet Everyone keeps on claiming how climate change is making their lives miserable.

In the Arab countries, water is life. Before the 20th century, local rulers knew this very strongly and invested in water projects. (It's the reason why they never valued capitalism, because it bordered on wasteful.) After 20th century, the number of water projects started decreasing. And more investment was made in addressing possibility of conflicts and wars.

The world has taken a terrible turn.

The problem is the only reasons to suspect drugs can provide "insight" into "why we are here" arise from mysticism and other basically non-scientific things.

That's the definition of democracy the majority rules if it's 49.9% vs 50.1% that's how it work.

As for alcohol bans it is pointless since not everyone is an alcoholic. I think it's typically 3% for alcoholism, gambling addiction, most human seem to be predictable at 3%.
When organization starts using struct it will entrust you with a lot of confidential information. Assuming you also feed it to OpenAI the question arises on how it is protected.

The real challenge would have been to make the extension architecture not terrible. That would have also had the nice side effect of enabling other extensions to become more performant.

Aside from that, the algorithm they described is one an undergrad could come up with. Pure vanity blogpost here.

So it seems like alcohol/substance abuse is a problem in places with a large indigenous population. From native Americans, to Inuits on Greenland, to Aboriginals - it seems to be a well-documented phenomenon. Lots of lingering trauma all around, which is probably compounded in the more rural areas.

I remember when visiting Greenland a couple of years ago, the alcoholism was rampant there (along with racism, but that's another discussion), and apparently it was pretty common with smaller bans around surge periods (https://www.arctictoday.com/alcohol-is-banned-in-an-east-gre...)

That has some "how much pressure can be loss to friction and still provide the necessary water rate at the other end." Bends in the hose will increase the amount of friction and thus reduce the flow rate.

The risk of methanol poisoning in moonshine is grossly overrated. Simply put, you have to do some stupid shit to end up with dangerous amounts of methanol. The methanol content in a beer, wine, or mash precursor to liquor production will be absolutely trivial, unless you are are doing something ridiculous like trying to make liquor from tree bark (the Greeks have a drink like this, it's heavily warned against in home distilling circles).

So why was methanol poisoning common during the Prohibition? Renatured fuel alcohol. To stop people from drinking fuel ethanol, the government poisoned the supply with methanol. People tried to come up with jerry-rigged solutions to remove the methanol, and more often than not failed. Some less scrupulous experimenters sold their results anyway, where it worked its way into the black market supply chain.
It seems that mediation would be a good thing. Yet we never hear about that, even in "progressive" workplaces that are all about Diversity, Inclusion, Equity & all the other keywords.

It's remarkable - your supervisor behaves in an increasingly unhinged manner towards you, and you go look for informal conflict resolution and none is to be had. Yes, there is a code of conduct, there is the diversitylady, but no way of putting a conflict to bed, just the CoC committee that we are asked to trust.

Pfui!
Just to clarify what I was saying:

You claimed they -started during declining test scores-: "My assertion, then, would be to point that "teaching to the tests" concerns started and continued through a time that tests scores have decrease"

Meanwhile, they clearly were very big from 2001-2005 (and according to linked chart, have decreased in intensity since that time). And test scores started to decline around 2012. That is why I mentioned that they had peaked around 2005, because that was well before the period of declining test scores.
Software developers are conditioned to accept horribly slow interactions with their software due to compilers. Most compiled languages have zero regard for developer time with the lengthy compile times. The break in context and flow from those constant delays and the horrible hacks in tooling around trying to deal with it are a constant irritant that has taken root and just accepted.
There's little other explanation for why contact would be abruptly lost. The company said that the sub has multiple forms of ballast, including systems that could be activated manually, and ties that were designed to dissolve after 20+ hours in seawater, allowing the sub to rise even if the crew were unconscious.

> The latter is more probable to me as it has never been tested under water for more than a few hours at a stretch.

That's not true, they've successfully reached the Titanic several times over a dozen or so expeditions.

Vscode like many text editors supports that kind of completion too, but you should seriously give a try to better completion engines such as GitHub Copilot or StarCoder.
That may be part of it, but I think the main reason is that higher ed is process-oriented to a fault.

You need five people to sign off on what you're doing, and John is out until next Tuesday, so he can't sign it. When he gets back, he notices that Christine missed something on the form, so he waits five days and kicks it back. Repeat this until you give up.
Did they signal? This has happened to me many times with humans driving right up on my bumper even while I signal and am in reverse gear.
Your experience is not representative. Input latency of hundreds of milliseconds isn't something anybody I know would tolerate.
Better idea --- forget Google and just make personalized advertising illegal.

to be fair redux is a huge pain in the ass especially for medium to large teams where you have colleagues who misuse it.

there are better libraries out there like zustand or react-query which helps on most of these stuff.
The reason Alice Springs have banned alcohol is that people from dry communities visit Alice Springs for grog. The localised ban has needed to be somewhat widened.

What nobody here seems to realise is that almost the entire social fabric is destroyed by alcohol. It’s why it has to be banned.
That global username thing seemed like a weird (bad) architectural decision to me back then, glad they came to realise that.
Same thing with whatsapp, apparently they are growing in the username direction instead of that horrible telephone number thing.

We banned tobacco advertisements in most places - it seems like alcohol should probably be in a similar category.
You can't steal an elevator, but you can steal a car. This system would almost definitely be abused.
1. Banning adverts is a fine idea.

2. I think you overestimate the number of people willing to sit through a sporting event or concert while sober.

3. Great, even more reason to skip company events.
It is unclear how it deals with private channles. On our Discord server some channels have limited access and information from them should not leak outside the list of members.

As a rather vocal user of Sublime Text 4, VS Code is an order of magnitude slower on basic UI interaction.

I eventually switched to VS Code but I miss immediate highlighting and extremely fast start times. It's very close to TextEdit launch speeds. VS Code crawls by comparison.

The only reason I'm using VS Code is the plugin system is way better.
"Choose an industry, pick a pain point"
This is solid advice, but for me it is very hard. I always found finding pain-points in an industry as an outsider (not working in the industry day-to-day) very hard. (Living in a relatively small and culturally isolated Eastern European country does not help either.)

By the way the only industry I know well (from the inside, as software engineer) is "big software product development". Nowadays I invest a lot in public markets, so I learned a lot about other industries from an investment perspective, but it is not enough to find pain-points.
It might be stupid, or it also might just be naive, or a shift in priorities.

100x throughput improvement might just come from caching results from earlier computations (less naive) - at the cost of 10x memory footprint possibly (different priorities).

> it ends up being stressful for anyone who has to rely on the resulting programs.

Only if you're writing bad programs. The idea that it's impossible to write good, solid programs in any given language is ridiculous.

> The "just trust me bro" school of programming is not suitable for delivering serious systems.

No one is advocating that. Your choice of language doesn't change the need for processes that ensure quality.
… for background, Chlorine Salt reactors are quite similar to Fluorine salt reactors except that Cl dissolves Plutonium much better than F does so they can work in a fast spectrum. Work in the 1970s showed capabilities almost out of science fiction: the neutron economy can be so good that you can not only burn up actinides (waste is dangerous for just 1000 years, not 200,000) but possibly burn up the most dangerous fission products (waste is dangerous for 30 years.)

This kind of reactor was almost forgotten for 40 years but interest in Fluorine-based MSRs got people thinking about Cl-based MSRs and excitement is building for them.

I can totally relate to these tips. I used to do in-home computer service and I advertised on self made signs all around the city. Got a lot of calls but not a lot of conversions. The minute I put "Business Computer Service" on the signs, I got the same amount of calls and nearly every call was converted into an appointment. And now that they had a reliable computer person, they continued to call. I was able to raise my prices by 40%, hire a few employees, get some funding and eventually sell the business. I'll never forget how adding that one word was liked a magic trick.
Its a “restaurant is so busy no ones goes there anymore” scenario. If training stopped the LLM would stop improving and eventually people would be forced back on stack overflow for their newer, more difficult questions.
To obfuscate the choice of algorithm behind kwargs (as opposed to creating separate classes) has always seemed to me a suspect choice, in sklearn as well as here. And it seems to make development of the package more complex at the expense of... less readable code for the user, with less flexibility for differences in hyperparameter specifications, etc.

There are of course exceptions, something like `TrendPredictor(order=1, interp="polynomial")` as an example can be flexibly adapted up or down the hierarchy of model complexity much easier than commenting out different lines.
So if I don't find it to be slow, I am not just wrong but delusional?

VSCode with the Remote SSH mode has absolutely, objectively, sped up everything I do. It's easier to work on remote machines as if they were local, it hasn't ever seemed keystroke-slow (either on a 2015 Macbook Pro or a recent Core i3 thing -- a Surface Go 2 running Ubuntu).

It has made it feasible for me to use integrated Git support in a remote environment, it has made remote file searches actually useful, it's worthwhile to make use of language servers (even for PHP!), and it presents substantially the same UI wherever I work.

It is not noticeably interactively slow.

But if it was slightly slower than, say, TextMate or SublimeText, the cost of that interactive slowness would likely be more than offset by the sheer productive utility of the thing, and no longer needing to treat host, local VM and remote VM environments differently.

It is in sum enormously faster than anything else I've used.

But this is just the deranged ramblings of a kidnap victim?
>so unless the votes were >90% in favor of banning, there's always going to be someone's morals being forced upon others.

It seems to be that unless the votes were 100% then there's going to be some moral forcing. Does this mean no laws unless we have complete and total unanimity?

Distilling doesn't produce jack-diddly-squat. It just concentrates. Methanol is a side effect of the fermentation process, and only common with exotic carbohydrates. In a normal beer, wine, or wash, you'll find less methanol than in your morning glass of orange juice.
