Noting for information, as this is below dupe thresholds.
I am still a relative novice but: you don't really need to use datum planes at all to avoid TNP through sketch placement.

Each sketch can be placed independently anyway (offset from its attachment), and you can place them parametrically. So if you want the sketch on the top surface of another pad you can simply set the attachment position with e.g. <<Pad>>.Length referring to that object. Or by using a named reference from another sketch, or whatever.

Local co-ordinate systems can be useful, and sometimes I have added planes attached to those, because setting up attachment in truly arbitrary places is fiddly, but I almost never use datum planes.

TNP isn't usually triggered by resizing a sketch, unless the resizing causes some topology to change -- an edge being added in the edge list before a critical one is what will break attachment. For example if resizing one sketch in a body causes an earlier-numbered edge of a face you're attaching to, to disappear, that will do it, I think.

So generally TNP is something you don't always have to worry about, if you plan your design; sometimes you can attach to faces without concerns.

This isn't actually truly unique to FreeCAD. All CAD kernels have to solve this problem somehow; it's just that they are usually really narrow edge cases rather than big ugly obvious ones!

For me the bigger problem with FreeCAD (that won't go away quickly) is fillets and chamfers. OpenCascade can't allow a chamfer to consume other edges so you often run into difficulties where you have to tweak some measurement by a fraction of a millimetre so it doesn't.

I am getting around that by considering carefully which chamfers are merely presentational and which are effectively structural. The structural chamfers I may solve in some other way -- within the sketch, or with a subtractive operation, or whatever.

I agree with the recommendation for the Mango Jelly videos, and if you're on Facebook, the main FreeCAD group can be useful (Mr Mango Jelly hangs out there).

Servers with high quality software integration. These provide the same value to businesses as Apple devices provide to consumers. Hopefully they "just work" and eliminate a bunch of Devops distractions.

Most hardware companies have terrible software. If Oxide can handle manufacturing and logistics, then they'll be huge in about 10 years.
To be clear, this is about contact center agents and other jobs of a related level.
Chess, Go etc are counter examples.
Yep, it's been great for me for knocking together scripts in Python where I know there will be a way to do something like open a csv file and read it into a list of dicts, but am not familiar enough with the ecosystem yet to know exactly what packages might be useful or how to invoke them. I could work the same thing out from stack overflow, but it would take a lot longer.
Any even matched conflict the US would get in is a shooting war with a nuclear power, which is the very last thing that anyone wants.

Anyone planning for that war needs to stop whatever the hell they are doing and start planning for how to avoid it instead.
The cherry on top is that even if you pay, you still get ads.

My experience with Bard/ChatGPT has been that you'll easily shoot your foot off if you don't know what you're doing. Dangerous for workers with less experience.

I see claims that it makes you 7-8x more effective. That hasn't been my experience. Maybe 5-10% improvement at best. Instead of Googling myself, LLMs can sometimes give me the answer more quickly than I could find it.

Once you ask it anything not easily scraped on the internet it hallucinates like crazy and sounds so confident about it. Maybe I'm just horrible at prompting, but I can't help but feel we're still N breakthroughs away from having it really impact dev jobs.
So, is the second account nice or for trolling?
The spelled-out intro to language modelling [video]
> No one is outside of the government's sphere of influence.

By sphere of influence I mean payroll and permission to operate. Even so it's not true considering anonymous and foreign researchers or pretty much anyone who can clone a git repo on the internet.

> What that committe is, is a reunion of many different organisations with different points of view and participation of people from all levels of society.

You don't seem to understand how problematic is this idea that there are groups of people who are guaranteed to have the populations best interest in mind. All while in the payroll of the entity they are supposed to audit.

I get you trust such a committee but you shouldn't expect everyone doing the same.

> This is prejudiced and offensive. Please refrain from this kind of comment.

Its not. I am brazilian and have lived over there for a long time. I'm guessing you are too so you are familiar with the term "carteirada" don't you? You on the other hand is condescending:

> Not my point, but please tell me how much auditing and verification you do on every single other aspect of your life.

I verify signatures for every important software I download. Even if I don't there are tools doing this for me like package managers. My main work basically hovers around verifying data every 10 minutes or so. Chances are your computer boot loader and most of its applications are signed.

But somehow for voting we just trust the pros?

And this is besides the point. If a normal citizen cannot attest and verify for the trustworthiness of the digital election system that is deciding the future of his life for the next 4 years then the system is flawed and you can't really blame the people who are calling it a sham.

> I have no idea what you mean by this. It honestly makes the opposite of sense to me, but if you could elaborate a little, perhaps you'd help me understand.

"Don't question. Just trust the authorities" is a scar of a time where such things would put you in jail. The idea that a normal citizen cannot interfere in government affairs and instead leave it to a group of elites is common in dictatorships.

I don't even know why are you arguing about this. Why are you trying to convince me into trusting third parties when we agree the best solution is to have government release the source code and let anyone audit it?
Ive been noticing this, as well as an increase of places asking for tips that have no business asking for tips.

Any little thing to extract just a tiny bit more money from people I guess.
Additionally, even if you can’t stop social media companies, my kid still isn’t on Facebook because we don’t use Facebook or post her there. The power is in the parents’ hands.

The loophole is if some other parent takes a picture at a party or something that includes our kid and posts it. We try to mitigate this by telling The Facebook Moms in very clear terms that if they post pictures including our kid, then we won’t be doing anything with them anymore.
I would also be weirded out by sir. I say dude a lot but I wouldn’t throw that out like a nervous tic in an interview—it’s a little too familiar and doesn’t exactly reflect situational awareness.
Sure, but a recipe is much more specific than that - it outlines the exact quantities, mixing levels, baking, etc.

On Hacker News it's generally discouraged to post generic dismissals without counterarguments.
Yes. It’s quite frustrating.

H1B is not exclusive for software engineering and encompasses many other professions (architects, civil engineers, etc).

Immigration policy is not aimed to serve the highly compensated field of the day, but to serve society at large.

Society needs civil engineers or child psychologists just as much as a fintech developer.
I'm also interested if anyone has one ^^
Is a degree necessary? Maybe not. But if you’re going to require 2-4 years of formal training, it may as well result in a degree.

Fact is policing in the 21st century is 1/3 social worker, 1/3 law enforcement, and 1/3 procedural red-tape (give or take). It takes a lot of training to do all three effectively. And we, as a nation, don’t require a whole heck of a lot of training.
Claims like this are so dumb. Call center work has a very low ceiling on skill, so obviously people who are maxed out can't benefit.

But in any knowledge economy type job, there is no ceiling on skill. Creative, curious, intelligent people who are already high skill are also going to be the most effective at using a new and weird and tricky tool in interesting ways to develop their skills.

Generative AI will make some old skill obsolete, but people who are generically good at picking up new skills will be much more effective at wielding it. Those are the same people who were good at picking up the old skills, too.
Not if they’re well-designed and adequately provisioned, which is just as true for federated platforms.
Maybe i am wrong, but isn't that what happens currently with different services a sign that the "it's free, you're the product" thing kinda starts to fail or needs to get renamed into "it's free, you're our product"?

Let's assume it's all about ML/AI learning or data mining. Then you either keep a free, but walled garden (to be the only one to mine the data of your users) or you offer a "for pay" service (to offset the cost of the increased load on your network / systems), not mining your users data and allowing them to share content public.
Almost 20 years ago I worked at company that developed a commercial product on top of MzScheme (prior to DrScheme and Racket). There was an article about it in Russian, unfortunately now only available via web archive https://web.archive.org/web/20210506123442/http://fprog.ru/2...

C# including LINQ or Javascript including Promises isn't done with the intent of having all functions handle state and pass around a state of the world parameter (trying to actually do this in Javascript will lead to a lot of boilerplate and ugly corner cases, as one would expect in the language).

Don't forget AMD doesn't seem to even care about ROCm themselves. Six months in and RDNA3 cards still don't support it. Can you imagine if Nvidia launched RTX40- cards with no DLSS even though 30- cards already had it, and six months started boasting about how DLSS support was "coming this fall"?

Right now, the audio tech/software niche is abuzz with ideas and attempts related to using transformer technology within the field. Music generation, new synthesis techniques, generative DSP and more.

According to the field, viewed from some altitude, these the "important (to the world)" things.

But for myself, with 25+ years in the field, I couldn't give a rat's arse about any of it. Absolutely not "important (to me)".

Am I ambitious (still) ? I think so. But I'm also picky about where I'm willing to put my energy.
They literally got psychologists working to find out via A B testing what is the most addictive! Of course it's their fault. It's incredible how many people on this site try to feel not responsible for all the damage the Facebook, Instagrams and TikToks of this world are doing, even though they are the ones writing the code.
Sample size of one, but I suppose maybe I’m in that category of power users - given that I’d post 3-10 “effort posts” per day.

Apollo finally went dark yesterday, I deleted it, and haven’t felt a single compulsion to check the mobile Reddit site. About the only Reddit related thing on my mind is whether I’m petulant enough to mass overwrite my posts - I’m only too familiar with the struggle of searching for something and finding dead blogs and forums a few years back.

I don’t think Reddit the company owes me anything, but I wonder how many other “high value” users (in terms of both content and value to marketers) simply drifted away once the iOS apps went dark.
Thanks. My question is more of other runtime not specifically about the ones written in Go.
It is debatable whether USSR has lost to Afghanistan because it left behind a functioning secular state which happened to outlive the USSR itself.

It’s amazing that no one is questioning how the USCIS cannot detect that different companies are filing applications for the same person when an H1B application requires extremely detailed information about the applicant including their passport details.

That’s right. It’s because the completely bankrupt USCIS doesn’t have a computerized system to collect applications and therefore cannot run a simple check to see whether they have multiple applications for the same passport number.

But instead of questioning why in 2023 USCIS does not even use basic technology (even an Excel file will do) to detect fraud, an apparently technology savvy forum like HN chooses to insist that nothing can be done with fraud and therefore the entire system must be done with.
yeah, sorry, i won't be visiting some website just to do timezone conversions.

I'm surprised to find that units doesn't handle this.

I wonder if there's another CLI tool that does.
I can't speak for the other nations, but Space technology in Canada is controlled under the Controlled Goods Program (CGP). A CGP clearance is obtainable as a Permanent Resident. No citizenship required. Various Canadian companies are suppliers/partners for space projects in the US. For example the Artemis project is using the Canadian company MDA as a key supplier (to manufacture space robotic systems, including a newer version of the robotic arm currently on the ISS). SpaceX also has a number of Canadian suppliers, although their involvement is not advertised very much.

At the end of the day, your curiosity and talent is used to make money for someone.

Fetishizing work productivity and ability ignores the fact that most company owners are managerial types that will harness your output for monetary value. You could easily end up wasting your life by becoming some niche field leader in the systems you work on, but never enjoying the rewards of your talent.

Hackernews in particular likes the idea of a life spent entirely behind a laptop, but there is a larger world out there, and the winners are enjoying it while we chase little lifehacks to eke out 20 extra minutes of productivity in a 10 hour day.

I'm as guilty of this productivity fetishization as anyone here, but am just reaching a point in life where I'm starting to notice the walls of the maze.
Well apparently CentOS somehow became a big enough problem for Red Hat for them to kill it off...
Haven’t read anything so off the mark in quite a while.

Your basic assumption already makes no sense. Please list the businesses Elon has started after his PayPal days with the goal of enriching himself.

Also, money is a means to an end, is it not? So what do you think he’d do with more money? Again, you can look at what he did with his Zip2 money. And then his PayPal money. That might give you a clue.
While I totally get why people block ads, and I do so myself, I also totally understand antipathy toward adblockers on the part of websites. Making ads better is definitely one approach they can use. But preventing folks who block ads from using the site is also a viable approach! They don't need to care why people block ads, nor do they need to worry about making the site worse for such people. We who block ads are not economic stakeholders in the services.
I get the spirit, and you can indeed something similar with any hosting provider, but what if Vultur shuts you down (or goes bankrupt)? You can spin up a VM and storage elsewhere, but you have to migrate or rebuild your data.

In other words, beware of state and stateful systems when striving for tech independence. The best thing is to keep state somewhere else and have your virtual machines or containers simply pull and push stuff. That way you can always leave your cloud provider by redeploying what essentially becomes a stateless stack. Leaving your data on a public cloud means potentially having to pay huge exit fees when you want to migrate. Of course, this is really feasible at small-ish scales.
That’s a pretty deep rabbit-hole. Thanks!
> Most people in our circles recognize the social media is marketing for your personal brand

Marketing for your personal brand? What on earth does that even mean? I can’t even imagine what “my personal brand” would be let alone how/why I would market it. Get me out of this narcissism dystopia!
Functional languages have either converged on either just allowing mutable values or relying on Monads as the ways of handling state. I'm not aware of a third solution.
That is unpredictable, but not a side effect. Side effects are changes that are not declared as part of the function parameters.

If you model the controller input as a function parameter, that's just a state argument, and FP can handle it declaratively just fine without having side effects.
Thanks, I'm stealing this :)
My impression was that he bought Twitter for the reasons you say, but failed to predict the dip in the market that followed it.

If Twitter stock hadn't sunken immediately like a stone, he probably would have pulled it off, too, even after the signing the agreement.

If indeed the Twitter deal was manipulation to leave poorer investors holding the Tesla bag, it's hard to feel sorry for him.

I still have 4 more tweets that I can see today so as long as I only refresh this tweet three more times. I'm good.
In my experience extremely abstracted code with inconsistent naming schemes and general data confusion is a sign of bad code. Add meta programming (outside of well documented libraries with simple ergonomics) to that list.

In 20 years if it smells like duck it's because the duck was trying to shoehorn functional programming paradigms into ruby by abusing the hell out of blocks, bad clever code is just bad code.
My mind also jumped to this post. But can you name another company that did so recently?
Isn't this exactly what caching is for? If it's read-only data, I feel like hug-of-death should not be the norm.

Maybe it's bad when lots of people want to interact with information all at once.

Or maybe when access to information is gated behind a bunch of javascript client/server interactions.

On the other hand, I'm out of touch and still just write static HTML pages when I can get away with it :þ
I mean, hat tip to the pie-acquisition engineers, Twitter has done better than I thought it would without maintenance.
I've abstracted the problem a bit and traveled up the causal chain so I think this confused people. I'm getting at something more fundamental. Ask yourself why there are more violent crimes and theft in poorer neighborhoods/poorer countries than in rich neighborhoods/rich countries. Is it because the genetic makeup of people (often referring to skin pigmentation, but not exclusively) or is it because opportunity costs? If you're even lower middle class it usually is a high risk low reward situation to steal or perform violent actions. That's why the best thing you can do for public safety is actually to create a wealth/living standard floor.

It helps to play the "why" game and physically draw your connections (especially since you want to travel down certain paths after you have have gotten to them and there's going to be a lot to keep track of). Certainly removing guns can be one part of the solution, but it clearly isn't the only factor contributing to "people getting shot" and is really a lazy way of trying to solve the problem by presenting this as the one and only way to resolve it. Complex problems require understanding the whole chain (or a good portion of) to resolve and the over simplification just causes us to fight and continue our 30 years of debate that has not deviated or grown despite the problem having.
People need to start seeing a college degree for what it actually is...it's an investment. Just like in the stock market you're taking a gamble that it will pay off eventually, and just like with any other investment, you should really do some research to see if it's a good investment.

Some college degrees will easily pay for themselves over their lifetime, such as most STEM degrees, JDs, MDs, and a few others. Some are extremely unlikely to become a good investment...sociology, philosophy, gender studies, medieval French poetry, Art history, you get the idea.

I think what would help is if students were informed upon selecting their degree what the typical earning potential is for that degree.

The other major thing that needs to change is all of these jobs that needlessly require a college degree.
> New unverified accounts to 300/day

This rate limit may stop the most extreme scrapers, but it won't come close to stopping moderately large operations. AFAIK nothing is stopping you from creating as many accounts as you want, each of them associated to either an email address or a phone number. Even if they made it more strict and required both a phone number and an email address, it would still be a trivial process. They will give up in the near future and implement some annoying Amazon style captcha, which scrapers will again circumvent with rotating proxies and captcha solvers :-)
The funny thing about the 10x claims (I've even seen folks say 100x) is that results like these would be readily apparent. Even a broad 1.5x productivity increase would be world changing. And yet, we clearly are not seeing this currently.

I'm not saying it will never happen, just that it will be very obvious if it does. 5-10% sounds about right to me.
No. I believe he is just on the board.
It hurt itself in its confusion!
I didn’t read the parent comment as making any particular judgement apart from the one that Islam in France is an unusual and unnecessary topic for Elon to be getting himself publicly involved in.
