>the harmful impact of the Cosby Show

Could you expand on this?
Yes, I mean globally recognized religions with millions of followers. Sorry but I'd rather not delve deeper into this. While I initiated this thread, I don't want it to escalate into a flame war or offend sincere individuals who are faultless and have good intentions.
The reporter was black himself, and well aware about the experience of blacks in America. He wanted to make a point and have Miles elaborate on that and his backstory with it.
Runnable software is always stored in some sort of hardware, it doesn't exist by itself.
It’s probably easier to use than COM on windows. The other interesting thing about it was that because of the message passing and easily inspectable objc_methname sections in the macho it was probably super easy for those early
iPhone app coders to write some early apps before apple even shipped their first AppStore and iPhone OS 2.0 sdk.
I find "strace programname 2>&1 | grep open" is a good way to find out which files are being opened for config. It's quicker than digging out the man page.
A formalized retirement age is a recent invention but human biology alone has always required people to transition through various stages in life. I think the idea of retirement = doing nothing is quite new when applied to broad sections of society. But going back millennia, older people would transition from often hard physical/dangerous occupations to tasks focused more on maintaining social networks, helping to raise kids, supervising, etc.

I think that societies should return to supporting this approach to life (but through valuing an individual's contribution, not sanctions). Growing older will always come with changes in one's abilities (not always to the worse) and personal priorities. This should be embraced and encouraged basically up to the point of death. I.e. my village has an organization called "Rentnerbande" (="gang of pensioners") where older guys help local schools, kindergartens and people with beautification and handicraft stuff for free.

Taking this comment in good faith, because HN...

Do you really not see any difference between Ansible and a shell script?

Even just the move between shell and bash/csh/tcsh/zsh whatever else can make a marked difference in productivity and ergonomics.
Any interaction I've had with XML has been a negative experience.

Can someone explain to me how JSON is not superior in every way?
> Households are either "Barrys Tea" or "Lyons Tea"

That seems to be a cultural constant. In East Frisia it's Bünting or Thiele.
Why would they mention smalltalk? The article is framed from the writer's specific experience with both languages, not as a historical deep dive into the progenitors of Objective-C.

Granted these historical details are super interesting, but feels far from the intent of the article.
> Many people result a null in this category in this without any medical intervention. Unless you intend to imply that someone is genderless if they produce no gametes?

Humans only have the potential to produce one type of gamete. Whether they actually are able to produce that at any given moment is a different matter.

> Humans can be born with both, or neither, sets of genitals

Again, unless they are able to produce gametes of both types from them then it doesn't matter, and we have no recorded instances of this occurring.

> and chimerism…

is irrelevant unless it leads to the production of both types of gamete at the same time or in sequence, which it does not. There are only 2 sexes because there are only 2 types of sex cell. Each sex produces one type, that is why they are of that sex. There is no 3rd, there are no humans that produce both. Hence, humans are sexually dimorphic.
Also my answer to your question is: I think both. If it’s generally too hard for compiler people to optimize for the common case then it will be harder for folks to build great software. I’d also argue that apple did not do the former in regards to memory safety, rust did.
That “one neat thing” was absolutely huge for APIs and applications. Much more significant for a platform than any feature of C++ ever, for instance.

The performance wasn’t a real problem because you could always use C types for data on performance-sensitive paths. Nobody does Obj-C message calls to iterate over audio samples.
A lot of money… until you need to recover data and would pay SO MUCH more just to get your data back.

I think it’s a fantastic price.

Reminds me of the "instructions to use a space toilet" in "2001 A space oddysey".
Thoughts on consumption-based pricing VS subscriptions for SaaS?
Founders, what do you prefer?
A tool that offers consumption-based pricing (I.E. you spend what you used) VS the traditional subscription?

If it helps, specifically for transactional emails within SaaS products.
sorry, but space must pay more, because the system must be 100% bugfree, and cannot be updated easily.
on the bottom of the sea or on roads you still get live-updates, or at least car callbacks.

you also have severe space and time restrictions, more than in a car or surgical robot.

no agile for sure. there's not much room for agility or changing requirements in space.
> tailored to someone with my neurological makeup that causes this dislike of useless exertion

Quite a lot to unpack here. I would argue the advice given is really good and valid for most people and so that's a good thing. I am sorry you feel under-represented and hope you find something valuable for yourself elsewhere.

Additionally I think lots of people find that they have to force themselves to start and finish a workout and only some eventually come to learn to like it. But for many it starts as a chore like preparing food or doing laundry or taking a shower. It costs time and effort and often hurts. And people can go for a while without any of those but it usually has consequences which are usually worse in the long run than the initial invest.

You seem to have a fairly static view of who "you" are. I used to be in the camp of "my body is just a vehicle for my brain" camp and did not understand why I would exercise at all since I was always skinny (but also super weak) and my mind was what I was working with. And then my grandpa told me: "A healthy mind likes to reside in a healthy body" and that took a few years to really sink in. And now I realize that pushing myself through regular workouts and making myself deliberately suffer exhaustion, fatigue and pain makes me more happy, stable and relaxed in general and I even think of myself as a fit athletic person now and made that part of my identity.

And lastly I am kind of curious about a thing: You said that you only want to do it when it's attached to a game. So if you share the notion that exercise is good and you already know that this is how it's easier for you to do it, then why not focus on exercises which are also games. There are so many of them. And for everyone else who does not need or want a game, meditating or doing yoga seems to be another great venue to start.
As anyone with even a smattering of Morse knows counting dots and dashes essentially gets you nowhere. Morse is about the rhythm of the sound, each character has a unique rhythmic and ultimately recognizable sound. (One only makes progress when one stops hearing individual dots and dashes of a character.)

>Masayoshi Son. He had for many years the distinction of being the person who had lost the most money in history (more than $59bn[38] during the dot com crash of 2000 alone, when his SoftBank shares plummeted),[39] a feat surpassed by Elon Musk[40][41][42] in the following decades.
Yet another nrf52840 USB dongle? What for?
Yep. I think right now we just have too much objc code written that doesn’t need any of the parts of objc needed for frameworks.
I have a similar experience. I went to some counselling in my early 40s and we talked a lot about my childhood and family dynamics. It was one of the best things I've ever done in terms of my capacity for happiness (and the happiness of those around me).
Their in a rough patch but they've had successes in the last 5 years. There is a conservatism in their approach, mostly targeting parents and slice of life scenarios. And some huge misfires such as treating the kid as stupid in inside up. They've had nice elements though, like Trent Reznor's music in soul and 1990's anime echos in turning red. And it's obvious that it's pulling from people's memories, so they are sincere. However, they are leaving better ideas like a jazz fantasia or a true sailor moon style fantasy on the table. Some of this restriction is not just Disney's attempts to segment but also Pixar's marketing as a known commodity. This also likely stunts any real attempts, like lightyear, to go beyond the formula, ie saddled with reference to toy story, etc.

They will also struggle to ever top the original toy story, though. Even though their are little shades of it here and there; mike and sully, finding Nemo, coco, and lightning McQueen's horror at his body failing; they are still not pulling it fully together. I would like one at that level again, but that's a rare thing.
I guess you don't have kids yet, emphasis on plural. They chip away bit by bit everything that makes a relationship a good one, sand in the fine gears that made people fall for each other in the first place. By far the biggest stressor in marriages (unless somebody else is actually raising your kids, be it grandparents or nannies).

Sure, you can, and should, keep working on repairs and rebuilding, but that's additional work on top of all additional work on top of actual work of living in modern society. Not everybody, always, has energy for that, and you need 2 for that or it just doesn't work. Hence the difference of what looks nice on paper and how things should be, and how they actually are.
You don’t learn how to parent, you learn how to live, in a wholehearted way, and you model that for your children.

Good parenting is foremost about growing up before your kids do.
I don't know how common is that story... Either I know you, or I know someone with a similar story.

Anyways, as someone who identifies both as a computer scientist and as a dancer, I can definitely relate to your experience:-)
Of course, that ship has sailed long ago. The days of hand prepared resumes sent by an email were over a decade ago. Just wanted to share the value that was brought by not having such tools.

Keep up the good work and good luck!
> only the English who have such a close relationship to tea

... excluding Japan, China, Russia, all of Central Asia (where I am from), and probably many other countries. So typical for HN.
I think it's real slow progress, and sometimes even, quite fast.

It's the same ideas, but I will assure you that most of the large things that people get crotchety about are legitimate moves forward.

People were complaining about "docker" (i.e. cgroups + namespaces + some CLI UX) not too long ago and now you'd be dumb to try and deploy most applications without at least having that there.

How many people are wrangling their own cgroups and namespaces (not counting systemd, which is another thing people fought, tooth and nail)?

Should we all be doing 1 user per workload like the good 'ol days?

Or maybe 1 machine/VM per workload like the 'ol 'ol days?
Yea, but it's not really a problem with cobolt, it's a problem with Congo. And it's still a good trade compared to oil that finances all manner of stuff, like the Ukraine war, and international islamist terrorism. There's also less money all in all, which means if we replaced all oil production with lithium batteries, there would be less money total going into industry that is easily hijacked for these types of purposes.

Let's also remember that avocado production is being hijacked like this. It's in general dangerous to have an industry that can be easily controlled and managed as it can then be taken over by mafia/terrorism/autocrats. I don't think we should argue that high value agriculture like avocados should be banned :P
Roads are shared space. It's disgusting there are bad drivers, drunk drivers and SUVs driving our streets.

I suggest if we want to make driving safer:

- Better street design.
- Ban SUVs.
- Seatbelts required for engine start.
- Mandatory breathalysers in all cars.

Agree?
The point is that we want to shove arbitrary embeddings vector into an LLM and inspect what comes out. This is different from feeding tokens as input. The kind of thing I'd like to do, for example, is to:

- Get embeddings for e.g. "blue" and "red", or "the sky is blue" and "galaxy redshift";

- Average them, resulting a vector that's bound to not be expressible with tokens alone;

- Input that to the same model I got the embeddings from, and see what comes out.

If by "embeddingendpoint" you mean OpenAI, they provide that for a specialized model, and (AFAIK) you can only get embeddings out (for the purpose of comparing various vectors yourself). They have no API endpoint for an LLM that can take those embeddings as input.
Selling something to cure cancer that does not cure cancer is fraud and it's normal to go to jail for it - two years is not that long of a sentence for it, either. I would need to see a lot more evidence that his sentence for fraud was a pretext for political imprisonment to believe that.

To be perfectly clear, I'm familiar with multiple political prisoners in the USA and am well aware that the US does imprison people for political reasons. I'm just not convinced that this guy is one of them.

I’m just messing with using SQLite with serverless on Vercel and really like the simplicity of having just a db file you can read locally instead of setting up and connecting to a db instance somewhere else.

This wouldn’t work ofc as fs access in Vercel is limited, plus syncing the db would (probably) delay the network response. But

In a Babylon 5 episode (set a few centuries in the future) they call it the Helsinki Syndrome, which I thought was a clever little nod by the writer to remind us how a legend continues to mutate.
It doesn't ascribe words to anyone. For the rest, yes, that's what political analysis is. Do you find all political commentary illegitimate or just the stuff you don't like?

"Putting words in someone's mouth" is different. It means ascribing a quote to them that they didn't actually say. It doesn't cover all speculation about what people think.
Ever since looking at SML, I often find myself thinking: "Would this be nice in SML?". And then I imagine all the nice pattern matching and type checking shortening the code. So any post about some library for SML raises my interest.

Having only learned from a book and with very few and little projects in SML, I have no idea, how they managed to put the HTML syntax in there. Clearly the carets are a start and the dollar signs the end delimiter, but then there are also things like backticks in there, before strings, which remind me of unquote of lisp. But why would one need to unquote strings? Anyway, it does look elegant. Maybe an example of how to compose HTML from multiple parts would also be great to have as an example (-> template engine).

Can anyone shed light on the general approach with ^^ and $$ this is implemented in SML? What kind of language constructs are involved?

EDIT: Also interesting, that they have written their own Test thingy: https://github.com/OriRoth/flunct/blob/main/test/test.sml#L4
CI and delivery failing 2% of the time just means you haven't deployed and you just retry. At least you're not poking things in prod.

I'm with you on the CPU gains going down the drain and 10x more people working on it, but it's also a sign that we're talking IT operations more seriously and there's enough money to cover these kind of inefficiencies.
Demonstrably false.

It is easy to write fast software in Objective-C. Harder in Swift, for example.
Does this work across networks?

E.g. for an sqlite db that lives on a Network Attached Storage (NAS)?
“Either you open up your subreddit or else”
I did not downvote your comment, but the downvotes might be because your message was formulated quite strongly.

Perhaps if you offer a more nuanced view, people may agree more and upvote it as well.

If your stance on mutability is really so strong, then you have to actually persuade people about your views, and that takes quite some effort (mostly from the person to be persuaded, not from you.) Being friendly instead of dismissive might make people more eager to take on another perspective.

Hope this helps a bit for future situations :)

I stand corrected... WTF
Two points:

It's important to note whether the milk goes in the tea first or the tea first and then the milk. When the host is serving the tea, if the milk goes in first, then the host is admitting that they have inferior (non-china) cups, since china cups are more robust and can withstand the sudden heat shock. However, I have never had tea from a china cup so I can't possibly say.

When making hay in the summer time, the tea served to the workers should have equal parts tea, water, sugar and milk. Well, that's how it tasted to me back in the day!
Exercise makes me irritable and miserable. I've tried large amounts and medium amounts, obvs small amounts are included in daily life. My kids are similarly effected. One size does not fit all.
I interviewed with them a bit over a decade ago for an engineering position after I got my master’s degree. The interviewer straight up asked me if I was okay working something like 60 hour weeks. I said nope right then.
Maybe I'm an outlier, but I don't think so... during my teenage years my friends and I were pretty much constantly engaged in friendly combat. I'm talking weak body shots, Charlie horses, red bellies, that kind of thing. All in good fun, but we were absolutely engaged in combat.

One of my fondest memories from my teenage years is visiting my older friends John and Kenny (who were only my friends because they used to babysit me), and Kenny put me into an iron cross and called everyone in to laugh at me and give me a red belly. Honestly, it was a bonding experience.
It's not perfect. I've gotten accounts suspended from phone verification services. I don't want to share numbers with spammers and drug dealers for this reason.
I always prefer subscriptions, unless the usage price would be pennies. Most usage pricing is a black box and that’s intimidating.
XML underpins of a lot of standards that are ubiquitous in their areas, eg, RSS, XMPP, GPX/TCX. Tons of government APIs still use XML. In the EU, in the financial sector at least, pretty much all regulatory reporting uses XML. And when the regulators decide to make some of that data available to the public, it typically uses XML as well. Companies in many countries are required to tag their financial statements using XBRL, based on XML.

XML has not failed. It has just achieved the status, coveted amongst serious technologies, of being boring.
My daughter's teacher this year just straight blanks me at the parent consultations. Like, it's uncomfortable. Speaking to some other fathers it's not just me. But I am still undecided over whether it's worth complaining as her holding her hands up and saying mea culpa seems somewhat unlikely and I feel I would quickly become the bad guy.
objc_direct is pretty awful.

> The minute you can annotate away the dynamism it’s much better.

Only if you think dynamism is a bad thing. It isn't. There are cases when you might want or need to take it away, but they are both (a) rare and (b) context sensitive. So taking the dynamism away at the supplier side is the wrong approach.

Dramatically worse build times for little to no gain. What's not to like?!
I'd say similarity, but any and all kinds of similarity you could ever think of - as long as you have enough dimensions and training data to feed it.

My current belief is that a hundred thousand+ dimensional latent space, as in SOTA LLMs, seems to have enough dimensions to reduce a large array of cognitive skills into a proximity search.
This comment presumes a modern understanding of citizenship. Jews living in Germany were seen as Jews, not Germans (just as Jews in Russia were not seen as Russians). This humorous quote by Einstein is based on this notion: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/93643-if-my-theory-of-relat...
I use Restic and backup to rsync.net. The only reason why I use them is because they use ZFS and have a admin/user account system that allows for immutable snapshots once everything is set up.

Honestly though it doesn’t matter. The backups are encrypted outside of the PC you are using Restic on. You just need a drive or a PC with storage space and SSH access that you can access.
What part are you responding to? I in no way made any claims about objc versus swift performance. I said the way they have tried to address memory safety assumes more compiler optimization and less burden to the programmer than rust.

Yes, but the goal of curious conversation requires a diversity of views, otherwise there's nothing to be curious about. In turn that would greatly benefit from a more classical approach to rules of debate in which speakers aren't blamed for the behavior of listeners or responders regardless of what they said. Otherwise you can't be too curious, in case someone flips out about the dangerousness of that idea, and then you get blamed for starting a flamewar.

I really don't think HN does the best possible job of living up to this ideal as a consequence and you see this in the wide range of important topics that the site has largely failed to debate. For example, a common complaint on lab leak stories is that just a few years ago this site was routinely suppressing people who were attempting to engage in curious conversation about SARS-CoV-2 origins.
CoreData doesn't work on any other platform, so you can only make Apple-apps. If you wanted to have a web version, an Android version or whatever else, you couldn't. So it's not a very good choice for most use-cases.
