OK here are the sources. Note that I said the spike was 60 seconds, not 1 second, not sure where you got a 1 second spike from. Re-reading the stories it seems it was more like a few minutes rather than one minute. Anyway, the RAF Coningsby investigation was done by Chris Morrison over the course of about a year. I suspect you or others will reject the source for ideological reasons, but here's how he developed the story. This brief spike mattered because it was widely covered in the UK as irrefutable evidence of climate change, it being the hottest temperature ever recorded there. It's not about inclusion in monthly averages.

It begins here, with the BBC lying about where the record temperature was observed. Not a great start:

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/07/20/climate-alarmists-turn-u...

"The BBC noted on Radio 4 last night that the record temperature arose in the “village” but co-ordinates on the Met Office site place the device halfway down the runway at RAF Coningsby, home of two squadrons of frontline, combat ready squadrons and a training base for Typhoon pilots."

Here's where they discover the record was set during a brief spike:

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/11/27/fresh-doubts-emerge-abou...

"Over six minutes, the temperature jumped suddenly by 1.3°C to 40.3°C at 15.12 (3.12pm), and was 0.6°C lower just a minute later. In just two minutes from 15.10 the rise was 0.6°C."

Here the Met Office claims that they have a rigorous verification process, and maybe a break in clouds was the reason for the spike, but Morrison got a satellite photo that showed it was a cloudless day:

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/12/04/doubts-remain-about-40-3...

Here's where they FOIA the logs and find the 3 planes landing at the time the record was set:

Re: no warming. Someone else was confused by this, maybe my language wasn't clear enough. The US CRN only has data back to 2005 because that's when it was opened. The point is that the older network is garbage, with lots of heat-causing corruption in the record and very low data quality. Climatologists in the 1990s were drawing totally different temperature graphs to today's, yet they are both supposed to be based on the same observations. This is clearly a terrible situation to be in for any field, and a big driven of distrust in climatology. Good scientists care about instrument accuracy, they don't collect low quality data and then constantly rewrite the collected data in a never ending attempt to retroactively fix it! So if we restrict our view to the data collected by the trustworthy weather station network, what do we see? No warming at all, even though CO2 rose constantly over the time period in question. That's a serious problem and the attempts at debunking it aren't convincing.
What I want from my employer is them to fund a better build system.

No, I didn't say it was a bijective mapping. (Although with smearing, it still can be.)
For cli calls, I have been using a handy website called cheat.sh

Basically, just go to cheat.sh/git and you get a list of useful examples for how to use the git command.

I have it mapped to a small bash function so that I can just type ‘cheat git’ and I get the content right in my terminal.
There's a world of difference between a well-written, well-edited book and SEO spam. The latter is not making a genuine attempt to actually teach you, that's not the point.
I guess a lot depends on your developer costs, a docker in e.g. GCPs cloud run costs peanuts compared to a devs salary per month.

IMO the less you need to code on top of your actual business logic functions - the better off you are for small projects.

Docker is still one of the best options, as if your tiny app is somehow business critical you can easily migrate it to other infra. With lambdas you’re stuck on AWS.
Linux can be similarly immutable and thoroughly encrypted. Check out Fedora Kionite or OpenSUSE Kalpa.
I learned pretty quickly when I struck out as an entrepreneur that a narrow audience is exponentially easier to succeed with than trying to generalize. It does seem this is rather tailor made for lawyerly document writing, and that is a perfectly suitable niche to target with particular circumstances that could be quite favorable for developing a sales pitch—their time is worth quite a lot of money, and their need to ensure that they have done everything exactly right is mission critical. I wholeheartedly agree with the above comment that positioning this as something like “document authoring for lawyers” would be a smart way to get established in a potentially lucrative market.
As a contributor it is still an awful non sequitur that does not answer the question, and brings up a fantastical world.

Oh man can you imagine Yahoo, playing the long game, brings back their user-managed indexes and becomes the dominant search engine again.
My ISP will send letters or emails, but only if they get a complaint from the company in question. Usually what ends up happening is a company watches a torrent, and takes down a list of all the ip addresses downloading it. They then send boilerplate complaints to the isps associated with said ip addresses, who are legally required to do something about it. My little brother got in trouble this way lmao, they sent a letter to our house about it.
This is literally above the fold[1]. The Python website linked is actually pretty good, what a dumb click-baity blog post. I'll probably get downvoted by the "I use ChatGPT daily and it 15x'ed my productivity" crowd, but every time I have this debate, I get zero salient examples.

Failure to Face the Truth
Sure you can blame the other person. But what good outcome do you gain by such an attitude?

People need to learn to take control of their situation and not rely on others to do it for them? That seems to be the norm in Western cultures, at least.
The thing is, even if Google _could_ they aren't incentivized to. They are more incentivized to show the ad-ridden content, because often the websites are using Google itself to display the ads.

In the case described in the linked post, Google potentially benefits twice, financially. Why would they want to reduce their profit by showing the more relevant posts (those that quickly get to the answer)?

I don't know though, maybe StackOverflow also uses Google for their ads, but a quick looks suggests they simply have less ads than the results above them in the article's example search.
Yeah. Thanking Google who is planning to replace the Linux kernel with the Zircon kernel in ChromeOS and will send that market share back to 1%. Android will follow suit much later.

Once that happens it is back to the drawing board for the Desktop Linux crowd again.
You can get the Indian version of sensodyne with novamin on Amazon. It’s not particularly cheap though.
Not doing anything is a decision to depart from your standard behavior. It’s not “ignoring”.
I think this is reasonable. If nothing else, it is the aspect least possible to imitate. If included, the best imitation would be cheap strobing. Anything better than that would require synthesis, which is something that even rendering engines require significant sacrifices to produce.
Are we really doing this "well technically Android is Linux lololololol" nonsense in a thread that's very obviously referring to Linux on the Desktop? Next to nobody refers to Android as "Linux" in a general sense of the word, much like how next to nobody, outside of specific technical contexts, refers to birds as dinosaurs: while technically birds may be the sole remaining member of the dinosaur family, we call them "birds" day-to-day.
The last couple of years I lived in Beijing, there were many competing bike rental companies. IIRC the two most popular charged something like 1 RMB (about 0.15 USD) for up to 20 mins. It was great to be able to ride at both ends of a subway journey, at almost zero cost.
You conviniently left out all the good parts of the economy: unemployment is at all-time lows, inflation is down (but still not at 2%), consumer spending is at an all-time high.

We obviously could still have a recession in the future but (a) we're not in one right now and (b) the economy has done much, much better than people were expecting this time last year.
I think you’re making an orthogonal point to my response here, but I did want to note that technically there is nothing stopping any of us from writing a CallKit app that could do this.

But it’s a huge pain in the ass just to get call recordings. That kind of effort shouldn’t be necessary in 2023, and it’s asinine that we don’t have call recording natively yet.

(Though, we also don’t have any sane way of archiving Visual Voicemail data despite the fact that they’re just audio files downloaded via IMAP.)

I agree that a “nanny state” prohibition on useful features for the user just because some actors are abusive is a touch crazy.
Using YACC doesn't give you magical integration with IDEs, operating systems, testing, documentation and so on. I feel as if you took my specific comment about parsers (which are not hard to write at all, few hundred lines of code for a moderately complex language) in an inappropriately general way as in "don't use anything for anything when doing anything".
On the contrary, I find all the LLMs (including ChatGPT browsing beta) which search to find answers repeat the same blogspam as everyone else. They save time by parsing the blogspam for me, but it’s still low quality.

Phind gets an honorable mention though - if that’s the style you prefer I’d strongly recommend it.

ChatGPT does hallucinate all the time, but for “learning a language from scratch” it’s very very very minimal. I can’t recall a single time it gave me a response to “idiomatic way to do x in $LANG” which included hallucinated information. Just can’t back it into a corner trying to get it to customize something that needs rigorous optimization for your use case.

Overall, the large innate knowledge base of ChatGPT-4 seems to contain a great model of the modern features of most programming languages and their packages (popular PyPI packages, Spring, Boost, Qt, etc, etc). Once I let it browse the internet, quality goes down and roughly matches Bing and Bard.

Phind I think gets around this by having a custom ranking of sources or something. Not sure what their secret sauce is but it mostly works pretty well.
It also works well for questions that have easy/medium answers and aren’t asked a lot.

Complex questions that involve things that aren’t well documented are obviously going to be harder for an LLM to answer, particularly when the LLM does not have a capability to test its own code.
That's ChatGPT-4's response to that question:
https://chat.openai.com/share/72d490a9-2b2a-4120-9bb0-3a59d4...

I briefly checked if the mentioned dependencies exist (they do). Too late over here to actually try the code.
I start making test cases until it breaks, then I rewrite it. If it doesn't break, by the time I have likely figured out how it works and I leave some comments to make it easier for the next person to understand it. Most of the time though I just try to forget that I saw it. Once I've written a comment like "there be dragons" to warn others from threading deeper.
Especially for these type of simple syntax questions that autocomplete or copilot isn’t getting. It’s so so quick to ask ChatGPT for the answer, rather than finding the documentation for the thing you’re looking for and parsing it.
I can't say I ever understood how and why async became such a big feature for Rust. I feel like I might understand someday (when I have more experience working with async code) but for now it kind of feels like adding it to the language was a massive, severe change which severely shaped the development and future of the language for years (async traits are still a work in progress!) and I just don't understand whether async was truly the right approach here, or the one feature to prioritize above all else.

As far as I know the community is (was?) still a bit divided on async, mainly because it's rough around the edges, and makes for bad compiler errors.

I wouldn't be surprised if 15+ years later people will think of async as "Probably great for its time, but there are better concurrency paradigms which we should shift to." similar to the shift from inheritance to composition.
I think Mastodon will continue to be expensive to host, as the way it's engineered is not well suited to cut costs, but I also think we'll see a lot of innovation in "slimmer" services that will be "Mastodon-compatible enough" but lighter weight. Ideally we'll eventually see some sort of standardisation of a client-server API (rather than just depending on people ad-hoc reimplementing Mastodons API), but that may take longer.

After repeatedly wasting people's time, on purpose, you deserve as much respect as you're getting.

None at all.
This is probably very different from person to person. Most of the poor people I know personally are hard-working, intelligent people, and are not poor because they screwed some important thing up. It's just circumstances/family obligations, and not any personal failing.

I'm also aware of a couple of people who appeared to have a reasonable shot at a stable life with some level of wealth, but they seemed determined to squander it, maybe due to mental/emotional trouble and addiction.

I'd like to see society change so that we afford more respect, stability, and comfort to the least fortunate among us, but where this fits into a discussion about personal choices is a contentious issue.
> You deliver this like it dwarfs all other factors considered by superior women. I grew up around those women and I know that that isn't remotely true.

I didn't say that was the sole consideration but it would be wildly disingenuous to say its not a factor in the big picture. the only guys I've run into that managed to have relationships before achieving financial success were young white guys.

> You've just advocated working one's way out of poverty while in a relationship.

do you have an alternative suggestion? seriously. its a damned if you do/don't situation and I won't claim to qualified to answer that. I know guys who have moved up in the world from humble origins while having a family and they have all told me it would have been infinitely easier doing it on their own.

> You next toss out a number of niche jobs that only a small segment of the public is well adapted to. You offered up statistical anomaly as if window washing was a path anyone could take to a high salary.

what do you expect me to say? everyone should learn to code? I can't rattle off every possible option out there. my point is that if you're using your brain, you can find a way to carve out a niche that pays well. what that niche happens to be is going to vary according to the individual and beyond the scope of a HN post. Its less about being hand and more of a point that you have agency in whether you live in poverty or success.

> assume we're discussing white, binary males without crippling health issues,

fair point about the crippling health issue. but I am not white. I'm south asian an ethnic group confirmed by OK cupid in their own high level research to be the least likely group to get replies back from women on dating sites. If anything, I'm playing the dating game on hard mode. I'll even go so far as to say I don't personally know ANY south asian men in relationships with american girls who make less than 6 figures. Being a south asian guy making less than 100k is like being a white guy under 5'5".

> Based on your assertion and it's underlying tone, if people are [NEGATIVE ADJECTIVE] enough to lose the employment lottery, they deserve being deprived of the supportive intimate relationships that successful people depend on to be successful.

no one OWES you relationship. A relationship has its perks but its also a responsibility. Shit happens in life and we can't control that but you can take steps to secure the best position you can in life before you get into a relationship because you want whats best for you both.

> I did finally work my way out of extreme poverty (wife left to become homeless & vulnerable, which allowed the rest of us to make progress).

Wait, do you just tell it "please be more concise" to whatever you ask of it?
No trig or calc, every formula is linear. There’s some very non-integer factors in there, but if you take “time” as an input you can do it all with algebra.
Oh, I didn't follow that link, I was just reading the blog. Those are decent comments, too bad they were nixed for the blog.
Can’t wait until they (actually) monetize ChatGPT and maximize the time spent on the website, like Google. Can’t wait until ChatGPT says that, when their grandma went to school, they too needed to mentally add 26 + 13, and the teacher would always frown on pupils when they gave the answer 31.

ChatGPT’s strength is that it’s new on the market, needs to build an audience, and therefore their UI and UX are lean, devoid of gaming.

Same as Google, up until 2008.
Probably the posters involved. Blessing and a (minor) curse that HN doesn't use avatars. Harder to avoid commenters you know you don't like.
This project is really great, and I love the integration it has with Home Assistant.

Lately I've been stuck on the issue of getting my GPU mapped into its docker container. I'm probably in the small group that's not using the suggested Google TPU though. I felt myself wishing for non-container installation docs, but that's probably due to a lack of free time to fiddle with the container.
I don't think this essay ever actually made the value judgment that doing "great work" is "the most important thing in life" or even a good thing in life. Did I miss that part? I read it as, "for better or worse, some people are driven to do great work, here are some techniques to accomplish that". I think it's true, right?, that such people do exist, whether that is good or bad for them.

I suppose I know enough of his history to know that he would make that value judgment, but I read this particular essay as being fairly agnostic about it, leaving it up to the reader.
Is Harvard not allowed to admit the students they want? It’s the same situation in my local prestige college… very disproportionately slanted towards local kids that have been attending summer programs and the children of staff and faculty. So what?
Note that the article is from 2013, when automatic silencing of notifications at night was still relatively new. Do Not Disturb on iOS was just introduced one year prior. Previously you wouldn’t message someone at inappropriate hours, just like you wouldn’t call them.
even the fact that you always go to that same window, with the same format and interface lowers cognitive load imo. Of course chatgpt hasnt been a magic bullet for me yet, but it definitely eases the pain of developing things outside your usual perview

Ask HN: Text Editor
I have been for the past few years looking for a perfect editor I can live with. Learned Vim, but can't edit Indian languages with it because of being in a terminal. Tried to use emacs, but everytime I install it I find it buggy in most basic things like undoing changes. Tried vscode, but my old laptop is not much equipped for it.

Once watched Russ Cox's screen cast on Acme, I kinda liked it.

I actually don't know exactly what are the things I wish to have in a text editor or program editor. I wish someone knew what I wanted and there were an editor where I could feel home.

I feel sad, one of the primary tool of programmers is in this shape. I'm not sure if it's just me feel this way.

I am looking for a better place, please send help.
Thank you for ruining my mind with this imagery.
The same perspective exists in multiple places in Europe as far as I can tell. It certainly does where I come from.

> Do you think the world would be better off if this effect were eliminated

I don't know. I do think the world would be better off if we eliminated homelessness, hunger, student loan debt, medical debt, and political campaign financing. These are some of the worst consequences of economic inequality in society.

> Or are you simply pointing out that life is not fair?

Well, I personally don't think that so-called "meritocracy" is fair or ideal. I was born with some advantages over the majority of people, and my academic talents started to show at a relatively young age (with no "hard work" — it was easy work!), but I don't think I "deserved" to be born that way, nor do I think that I "deserve" more money than other people as a result of my advantages.

I understand capitalistic supply and demand, and that may be a decent economic system. It's not an inherently ethical system, however.
Oh yeah, but the market's been predicting the fed will be "forced" to drop interest rates for about a year now, base solely on the taper tantrum from several years ago. Hasn't happened yet.

What the market seems to be conveniently ignoring is that a world where the Fed allows itself to be "forced" into lowering rates to near-zero again is a world where the Fed largely ceases to be relevant. So the Fed is, IMO, going to keep rates at least where they are if not higher if for no other reason than self-preservation. They'll have to see complete market capitulation before they'll consider lowering again.

Besides, one of their mandates is price stability. If they lower rates again, guess what happens? More inflation, and then they have to raise rates again because Congress certainly isn't capable of doing anything about it.
Employment numbers are skewed because of people who wouldn't normally work working more to make ends meet and debt keeping on rising and inflation slowing but still unsustainable.

Under the hood these numbers are not good.
This is SEO. I read a food blogger on this. She had to make her recipes long, long, long with lots of fluff or it wouldn't get a good ranking.
