They missed the point that users with passwords are often extremely prone to phishing; especially with certain popular MiTM frameworks. We have the technology available to combat that, so, please yes, let’s move away from open sesame authentication.

Anything that you'd colloquially call a "lake house" is going to be $1m+, even in frigid remote areas.

But, IDK with inflation maybe in 2023 a $1,000,000 purchase does count as "cheap."
Perhaps the title of the post has changed as it now reads "How Coders can Survive - and Thrive - in a ChatGPT world".

My initial reaction when looking at the HN post title "Tips for programmers to stay ahead of generative AI" made me think "we don't want to stay ahead, we want to leverage the new capabilities".

Can you imagine a weaver thinking "how can I stay ahead of the loom?" It's crazy to try. Instead, figure out what the new technology enables you to do which you couldn't do before, and leverage that.
Of course not. The Hadean was a tropical paradise known for its diversity of life. That's why it was named after the Greek god of fertility (Poe's law applies).

> This seems to be true, but the curious thing is that I’m never involved. The government commits a crime, the New York Times prints it on the front page, the people on the cable chat shows foam at the mouth about it, the government apologizes and commits the crime more subtly. It’s a valuable system — I certainly support the government being more subtle about committing crimes (well, for the sake of argument, at least) — but you notice how it never involves me? It seems like the whole thing would work just as well even if nobody ever read the Times or watched the cable chat shows. It’s a closed system.

This is just blatantly wrong. Actions have consequences and many politicians have lost their job after a story got out.

Unfortunately, this type of thinking is what happens when you live in a stable country. You get too comfortable and start thinking you can just ignore what's going on elsewhere. Who knows, maybe he'll get away with it. I'd wager it was the Russians and Ukrainians who read the news that managed to get out in time before they got drafted and I'd wager back in the 1930s that it was mostly the Jews who read the news who managed to escape Nazi Germany and not get shipped off to a camp.

I'd say there's a strong similarity between the news and martial arts training. 99.9999% of the time you might not need it but you'll be damn fucking grateful the 0.0001% of the time that you do.
No amount of memory management magic will fix the fact that it's common to have 4+ electron apps each wanting 1+GB of RAM open at the same time these days. Add in RAM used by the OS, background tasks, and a few web pages and you're in swap city in no time.

These days with how OSs cache files in "unused" memory, there's no such thing as having too much RAM.
You should also consider the field and expertise of the users. Also, I am not specialized in data science but even I know that at some point, it is just so easy to cook up whatever conclusions you want if you have a big enough dataset. So I imagine that those who works with data analysis all the time eventually get jaded whenever they heard someone demanding drastic, even unreasonable, changes based on data they found.

Ask HN: How do you display HTML tables on any screen size?
For the longest time I hated how I could not easily make HTML tables that are showing nice excel like data (i.e. they are really correctly using table, tr, and td tags for data not layout) to look good on mobile.

I finally have a solution I love. I keep using it over and over.

headers := []string{"name", "age", "species", "home_planet", "language", "occupation"}

I define the headers and call:

c.MakeCells(list, headers, "_welcome")

The list is an array of key values pairs, and _welcome is just the name of the view.

{{ define "_welcome_col1" }}
{{ $row := index . "row" }}
{{ index $row "name" }}
{{ end }}

{{ define "_welcome_col2" }}
{{ $row := index . "row" }}
{{ index $row "age" }}
{{ end }}

etc.

Then with tailwindcss I have:

<div class="hidden md:block large">
{{ template "_table_large" . }}
</div>
<div class="md:hidden small">
{{ template "_table_small" . }}
</div>

So I'm rendering both the tables on the page but only 1 will show depending on the size of the screen.

And the logic in _table_small is the secret to the whole thing. Instead of displaying each row horizontally, it repeats the headers vertically as col1 and then col2 is each row value.

You can see demo at https://many.pw/

Just make the window smaller if you are on desktop and it will jump to the small version.
It doesn't make sense for certain kinds of languages. But Elixir and Erlang unique in a way that languages like Python, Ruby, etc. are not.

A semi-mainstream BEAM language with static typing would be a huge boon. For those of us who have problems that BEAM fits really well, it's like saying Typescript doesn't matter because other statically typed languages exist. Which is really missing the point.
I will also lower water requirements since less of it evaporates off, which in turn lowers energy requirements for the farm.
While I agree with this in principle, I think many/most employers are looking for some kind of accredited proof. Even certifications can be gamed, so completing even a short program still does have value.
Not to hand, and if I did it would probably be a post on the forum itself, which, well, you see the problem.
Thanks for telling us about your ideas/dreams. Do your ideas/dreams work at all? Any number?
Is set theory more useful than category theory for dynamic types? Seems like set theory is less constrained, like a set can be part of itself by nature, whereas category theory generally doesn't allow mixing containers and elements like that out of the box IIUC. Seems like category theory best suits Haskell and such where types are more precisely defined (something that could be an int or a bool needs an ADT wrapper), whereas set theory might make sense for completely dynamic types, where something could be an int or a bool or whatever else by nature.

But I'm entirely unsure. Maybe it is completely unrelated to why set theory is used as a basis here. Just wondering.

This is good to know! I’ll try out DaisyUI next! My favourite part about skeleton has been having mostly functional, pre-existing component classes. The svelte material ui (smui?) library left a lot to be desired there, and I like how easy it is the modify the skeleton ones, since they aren’t a horrible jumbled mess of tags like all of the Vuetify components are below the surface.

My least favourite part of tailwind is needing a stock button and having to add 80 characters worth of class stuff just to get a generic looking button, which is what skeleton solves for me.
Maybe I like it as a traveler, don't like as a resident.

> Finally, OSI doesn’t define the term. They just certify licenses that adhere to open source principles and ideas. The community defines the term. Everyone is free to make up new licenses. OSI just helps the community filter out noise by reviewing licenses that actually are open source.

This is exactly my point, the community defines the term. The OSI definition does a good job of making the legal aspect of (their vision for) "open source" explicit, but it also adds additional definitions beyond what the average layperson might consider "Open Source".

Take section 5 and 6 of the "Open Source Definition"[0]. It states you can't discriminate against "persons, groups, fields, or endeavors". So if I wrote some software, put a MIT license on it, with a single additional clause that says the CIA can not use this software. Magically, it is no longer "Open Source" according to the OSI, even though 99.9999% of people can freely use it under the MIT.

[0]: https://opensource.org/osd

They have a definition, they even have a pretty good definition, but the OSI shouldn't be the definition. All OSI licenses are open source licenses, but not all open source licenses are OSI licenses. (All thumbs are fingers, not all fingers are thumbs).
Start in the middle. It's the most interesting part, too. After all, that's the core of your idea.

Stack ranking and Pip culture means every director needs to PIP a certain percentage of their reports. This leads to unhealthy competition among engineers and competition among managers.

The system is BS because a lot of projects work better when more than one engineer/team is involved. But by making it a zero sum game, most engineers (and their managers) spend more time backstabbing others to save themselves. Zero productive work gets done. It is all about backstabbing and BS optics to make themselves look good to the director.

Going through a bit of a slump, trying to decide what I want to write about and fighting the ADHD in me.

But I'm happy with how the design turned out. First time working with Tailwind, it was a lovely experience.
It's alright for one person to think this way, but if everyone did we'd be in a bit of trouble as a society. I think the reality is in the middle anyway, i.e. very few people are desperately gripped to each and every story, and if you think you're supposed to care about every story then you're missing the point of the news. Chances are enough people will care about each story to make it worthwhile running, even when many (or most) people don't care. If you're picking up the paper and literally zero stories affect you, well okay then! But you'd be in the minority. For most people there's something in there worth knowing. Even if it's not every single day. Most people benefit from knowing something about what's happening at least weekly. In hindsight this is a really odd article.
>> But if that’s true on a scale of minutes, why longer? Instead of watching hourly updates, why not read a daily paper? Instead of reading the back and forth of a daily, why not read a weekly review? Instead of a weekly review, why not read a monthly magazine?

This is probably best point in this article, the others are quite debatable. I would say that there is a value in knowing whats going on at some scale, but the actual problem is really down to the over-accessibility of news that we have today. Do we really need minute to minute updates on whats happening a thousand miles away?
Sure, but that can be said about any security measure. If we agree that passing AI generated art as human-made or as a photograph is bad, then making that harder to do is worthwhile.
They do organize, PhDs at my uni (grad students in general) have their own union which negotiates contracts, benefits and minimum wages. The issue is that there's only so much they can do given their position as people more dependent on the system than the system is on them. Especially when adding in how different PhD programs and funding can be between departments or even within deparments.
My question wasn't about KataGo. It was about it beating AlphaGo and could it also defeat AlphaZero 100 times out of 100. The fact that both KataGo and AlphaGo were self-taught doesn't answer if KataGo would defeat AlphaZero. I'm only taking TFA's assertion that it's the strongest with only a reference to AlphaGo.
I guess for context I'll add this is Aaron Swartz, a cofounder of Reddit, and fierce advocate for free speech. He was federally prosecuted for wire fraud in 2013 for downloading academic journals from MIT, faced up to 30 years in prison, and committed suicide just before his trial.

Global average temperature is not a well-defined statistical measure and can be surprisingly difficult to measure given large regional random and systemic variation in the measurement, including sampling effects.

But, if you live near some mountains, you can look at them and compare to pictures taken 50 years ago and draw some conclusions about precipitation and temperature trends at the top of your local mountain range over the last 50 years. When I don't know what and who to believe anymore, that's what I usually do.

Also, nothing is preventing anyone from getting a thermometer and measuring + charting daily local temperatures themselves.

Does anyone want to write an app with me, where you can record and chart your daily ground level local temperature where you live, and discuss it with others?
I see a lot of hypocritical bullshit on Hacker News - a lot of it from websites which frustratingly lack HTTPS support - but this takes the cake.

This has got to be some of the most hypocritical bullshit I've ever read.

This all-text website, wherein the author espouses the benefits of "the open web" and rails against the corporate overlords who would destroy the web... this all-text website won't even load unless you enable third-party JavaScript access from FOUR external domains[1]. A fifth domain loads a font from - you guessed it - Google Fonts.

This has got to be satire.

Almost anyone using Wine is familiar with the term and CodeWeavers’ usage of it.
One was followed by police while he was in country, then detained by customs officials (I assume it was MSS) on exit, and was told in no uncertain terms not to come back. This is a regular cybersecurity person who was there to speak at a conference. He was given no records and when his company tried to dig into why he was detained, they unsurprisingly had no records of him being detained or questioned.

I also done incident response for a number of companies targeted by Chinese state sponsored actors going after industrial and financial IP.

You keep calling them spies, but in both cases it's not as clear as you make it out to be and there is no evidence they were spying. The US provides quite a bit of information when they charge someone with espionage. Kicking someone out of your country for taking photos of sensitive sites (US) and keeping quiet about sources/methods is different than arresting someone while refusing to show evidence of their crime(PRC).

You act like someone with a regional interest will always be a spy if they have done intelligence work... there are tens of thousands of people who work for intelligence agencies in Canada and many more former employees.

I'm not even denying they might have been spying or providing trip reports afterwards, but without evidence I have a choice between believing the Canadian government or the Chinese government... I'll choose to believe the Canadian government.
This has to do with trying to shut down the censorship industrial complex. Government officials were caught conspiring with social media companies to censor citizens.

Not everyone optimizes for health. Plenty of people optimize for enjoyment or hedonism. That doesn't mean you can't also try to balance it out with healthy behavior to whatever extent you like. If you indulge in unhealthy habits in one way, why wouldn't you try to be healthier in other ways? Are you implying that just because someone drinks means they shouldn't bother to exercise because they'll never be "perfect" that way?

The timbre of your definition of "healthy life" sounds quite like rigid religious orthodoxy. Try "I don't get the pairing of being Catholic and having premarital sex. I know someone that goes to church every Sunday, but..."

See, in the case that she's trying to be a "good Catholic" or "healthy liver", it comes across as judgmental and priggish; in the case that she's not particularly concerned with what others think of her devotion, it comes across as dogmatic and parochial.

Anyway,"a healthy life" would be defined by many people as whatever mix of healthy activity and hedonistic enjoyment best suits the individual's well-being, including their psychological well-being. For instance, I have a friend who has cancer and is going through the torture of the damned with chemo. Yet above all, he's utterly miserable that he's not allowed to eat anything besides vegetables; the once-a-month Big Mac keeps him going and gives him something to look forward to.

I don't even like when doctors do this, but unless you're her doctor, you should refrain from casting judgment.
Buying a house without a mortgage is something available to a privileged few. Even if the option is available, it’s arguably unwise until you have to prioritize cash flow in your retirement.
Well, I don't think that the student population will shrink by 95%; there are still lots of people who can get loans who think it's worth investing in their kids.
And while there are a few higher-ed for-profits out there, most Universities and Colleges are not making profits of any kind. Some big ones might have general endowments, but most schools run break-even -- where would they get money to float loans?
A big part of why higher ed jacked up tuition was because State and Federal spending was cut; I'm sure they'd be overjoyed to get better base funding and cut tuition across the board.

> I wish we had an alternative that doesn't do as much damage.

I think for a growing number of people that alternative is non-smoking forms of cannabis. I grant you it isn't a 1:1 substitution for everything alcohol, but it's a lot safer to use and still a very social experience. I suspect that at some point there will be a "synthohol" like substance, but who knows when that might come about.
If it works it works and it definitely works for me. I've been using Copilot for about a year and I can't imagine coding without it again. I cannot recall any bugs slipping by because of it. If anything it makes me write less bugs, since it has no problem taking tedious edge cases into account.
I'll add something I have been working on https://github.com/boyter/cs which is aimed at a smaller scale. It works fine for multiple repositories so long as they aren't too large.
