It’s like, navigating through servicenow immediately tells you that the people that build it were used to doing RPC, and didn’t quite understand how HTTP or HTML worked. It goes downhill from there.

I think at some point they decided to hire a few frontend engineers to do some form of SPA, but now it’s so badly integrated that…

> what's the alternative to doing something like DI/Factory stuff? At some point you hit the point where you need to interact with the stateful, non-functional outside world.

More DI and more Factory, I kid you not. If I’ve learned anything from FP, there’s nothing you can’t solve by passing contained references to things that make more things. If it ever becomes cumbersome it’s also a great forcing function to reconsider everything you think you know and whether you want to keep knowing.
Indeed. There will be fascinating to see an analysis of how much of the federal budget goes towards programs that all citizens and or do utilize. I suspect the numbers would shock a lot of people
I asked this on another thread:

> What are your thoughts on the city's future? I've seen a lot of doomerish articles of late, many did seem to leave during Covid etc. however I still know many who happily look to buy property or relocate to the city right now. Do you believe the core innovation drive is in trouble, threatening it becoming a new Detroit? (Or even just the city itself, while the suburbs continue to boom and do well in the future as the city collapses - like Metrodetroit?)
Does anyone else get a security warning about a background download when visiting this page?
Yah you'd think with all the management know how in the US we'd be better not worse. US medicine and US education are the other two sectors where things suck too. Not coincidentally these three areas are what make it hard for a lot of people to get ahead. Costs in these areas (to purchase a house, deal with med costs with no or sucky insurance, or pay for education) is stupid high.
I actually knew _why's real identity, but I refused to divulge it partly because I didn't want his performance to end (even though, sadly, I knew it couldn't last forever) and partly because _why is a fellow native of my home state of Pennsylvania. And I totally agree that his whimsical style is far more preferable than anything every written by any LinkedIn programming "influencer."
There should be counselors to help ease the gap between school and home, but yes, teachers don't need even more burdens.

> The recovery solution for this is the ccTLD's dispute resolution policy, and finally my (local) courts. As sexy as that Cocos Islands or Indian Ocean Territory or vanity TLD is, I have a lot more options more easily available to me with my local ccTLD administrator and local courts. I'm pretty much relying on the court's ability to accurately verify my identity as the lock on the back door.

I work at a domain name registrar, and I agree completely. In fact, I have recommended this attitude for years¹. Use your local ccTLD if at all reasonable.

Is there still some kind of revenue stream from Symbolics Lisp or does the owner just want it to die with him?
Elon's also suing Twitter's former lawyers (the one that represented them in the purchase lawsuit against Musk) to recover $90 million they were paid. So, not just not paying bills, attempting to claw back money already paid to previous lawyers.

Exactly who you want to do business with.
Solving the issue of having two different ways of drawing shapes by having two different classes of shapes and special logic to construct the right one seems like a bad idea.

Seems to me that what you actually want is an algebraic data type and 2 different plot functions. Visitor patterns are a neater way to achieve that.
Funny the article limits it to 50 years, might be good to go back a bit further.

From 1950 (775,000) to 1980 (678,000) San Francisco's population dropped by 13%.

I'm not arguing SF is on the same trend now, but there is no reason why it couldn't happen again.

That said, I've noticed some changes with the new DA and a lot more police presence in the downtown core to try and stem some of the worst issue (casual shoplifting), so maybe things will get better.
I have the Sony XM3-1000H. I got it because of the noise-cancelling features when I go to my coworking space, or just want a bit of extra quiet. But my preferred headphones are the Sennheiser HD-6XX. And for focused listening, I have a pair of Hifiman Sundara, which cost as much as the Sony. The point is, I bought bluetooth headphones because they fit my purpose. But simple and wired is always my favorite aspect for headphones (I had a pair that I replaced the headphone cable thrice).
Sometimes when you try a thing, you'll get it wrong, and that sucks. But that doesn't mean it's not worth trying. I'm not aware of any significant damage done by Twitter getting that one wrong, and the decision took place in an environment of increasing anti-Asian violence in the US[1]. I have a hard time blaming them for trying to do something within their power while there were real consequences for inaction and the jury was still out.

starlite was the original name, it was recently renamed to litestar due to comments about how easily confused "starlette" and "starlite" are.
It’s also acceptable for a kid to lean to read a book. She’s behind on reading and comprehension. Getting the summary isn’t helping to solve that.
This case could have been about replying Y or "thanks" or a number of responses, because at core it's about the history of past informal agreements between them, as much as claimed confusion about what use of the specific emoji meant.
Oh, yes. I never claimed otherwise. But if you’re a user of Apple Mail and are looking for a solution for encrypted mails today, you should be aware of this.
> The problems are so many that it's better to use an alternative messaging platform that is built from the ground-up with encryption in mind, like Signal.

I'm not sure signal is what people who really care about their security should be using. Signal refuses to update its privacy policy to reflect the fact that for years now they've been permanently storing sensitive user data in the cloud. At this point I consider the fact that the very first sentence of their privacy policy has been a lie since 2020 to be a dead canary.

That, combined with their very unclear and misleading communications surrounding the data collection along with the dropping of highly popular features (the ability to handle unsecured SMS/MMS as well as secure communication) and inclusion of sketchy crypto features nobody asked for, makes me suspect even more that Signal may be telling people as loudly as they can to look for alternate solutions.

To anyone unaware that Signal was collecting and forever storing sensitive personal data in the cloud, that should tell you everything you need to know about how trustworthy it is.

> Violence sells games

The best-selling game of all time is Minecraft. Some other titles in the top 10 are Tetris, Wii Sports, Mario Kart etc. [0]

> The most popular video game franchise is Call of Duty

Actually it's in fourth place after Mario, Tetris and Pokemon [1]

> Gentile says we don't know whether games turn people into murderers, because the sample size is just too small

We know crime rates have consistently been in decline since 1990 or so, shortly before Doom was released. Is the population of the US a sufficiently large sample size?

Edit: turns out this article is from 2013. Well, it's not getting any more correct.

Discord is not comparable to a forum at all. It’s a messaging app first and foremost. Anyone attempting to use it as a forum is shoving a square peg into a round hole with a screwdriver.
Could you simplify your point? I was an ardent marshmallow user and when I finally switched to pydantic, it felt like I finally sat down in my life after standing forever. The documentation sounds good enough to me, but importantly the interface pydantic provides to define your json schema is the most elegant interface I’ve seen in any language and miles better than the mess marshmallow provided.

For many of us especially in the SaaS side, speed of these operations is a distant third priority compared to ease of writing and understanding the code, and ensuring reliable less buggy code. The actual compute happens on a cluster with spark or snowflake anyway.
Steamboat Willie itself might enter the public domain, but good luck trying to use the specific rendition of Mickey Mouse. Disney's been using that rendition on stuff like t-shirts recently to effectively renew their IP rights, probably because the larger copyright is ending soon.
Where did this recent-ish "hellscape" reputation come from? San Francisco has always been a "hellscape"; there's always been homeless, crime, drugs, etc. I've been going into San Francisco since the 80s and it doesn't seem like much has changed. If anything, I think I've/we've changed to be less tolerant of that stuff. Maybe that's just part of everyone getting older. Or, maybe everyone moved to San Francisco expecting it to be paradise, but quickly discovered it has problems just like every other city. Or, maybe the reputation is just a boogeyman created by politicians and political pundits. Not sure.

>The second most recent was when Windows Store local repository become broken. Any attempt at resolving the issue failed using Windows provided tools. Yet again had to reinstall the OS and all applications.

oh man, I had my Windows install get into a weird state where trying to open 'Updates & Security' would just crash the Settings app altogether. Eventually I submitted a feedback hub report for it with a dump and tttrace (though that was a journey in and of itself) and in the meanwhile I actually managed to get updates installed via the PSWindowsUpdate powershell module. Alas, that still didn't fix the crashing Settings app. I had a friend at MS promote my feedback hub item to a bug who relayed the reason being that my copy of MusUpdatehandlers.dll was corrupt somehow. Ok, I guess I can try using sfc and dism to hopefully repair that. A couple rounds of that and all I learnt was I actually had a few more update related DLLs that were also corrupted. The real kicker being the copy in the store was also corrupted??

2022-05-25 16:40:41, Info CSI 00000226 [SR] Could not reproject corrupted file \??\C:\WINDOWS\System32\\updatepolicy.dll; source file in store is also corrupted

Anyways, I was too stubborn to just reinstall and got it fixed by grabbing an install.wim from an ISO that matched my install and telling dism to use that. The really dumb thing was i first tried to do the repair in offline mode pointing it at the install.wim for sources but turns out that's just not supported.
Instead you get some opaque failure message and it only mentions the fact that wasn't supported in a single line buried in the huge log file.

They're totally different in terms of the scope of the project they're meant to be used for.

FastAPI is much closer to Flask in that it's trivial to throw up a single file with a couple of routes, and you can use something like SQLite yourself for persistence to disk, or install a couple of libraries for authentication or such (not sure if that's built in by now).

Django, on the other hand, requires a multi-step process to even start a project and creates a dozen of files, most of which are boilerplate, before you can even see a "hello world" route.

But in exchange, you get not just a program which deals with routing and templates and status codes, but much more - a world-class ORM which integrates pretty much transparently with multiple data stores like Postgres or SQLite, an amazing dashboard out of the box which is really handy for sharing with non-techies, a very mature ecosystem, and perhaps most importantly, the "one right way to do things", which makes it a lot more effective for collaboration between a bunch of engineers. It's of course not infallible, has a learning curve, and comes with a good few footguns that get the uninitiated, but the upside is a real upside. Migrations alone might justify it - for all the grief of merge conflicts between migrations right before a code freeze, I can't imagine how much worse it would be to not have them.

So I wouldn't say there's significant advantages to using either - they're different tools for different use cases. If you want to get something up quick that isn't too complex, FastAPI is great for that. If you know you're eventually going to rewrite Django but worse, you may as well use the real thing.
No. If you look over my comment history the last two years, you'll see I've advocated and argued against violence more than most here, despite it being unpopular most of the time.

What I'm suggesting that if people voluntarily makes a decision to put others in existential immediate danger, then the those whose lives are in immediate danger shouldn't have to pause, think, or call a lawyer before protecting themselves from an existentially dangerous threat.

If that means ending the life of the person that voluntarily made a very poor decision, that shouldn't be on the innocent person, nor should the innocent person have their life up-ended or put into financial ruin because the government failed and a person voluntarily decided to want to risk dying.

There is no distinction between voluntarily deciding to jumping out of an airplane with no parachute and voluntarily deciding to put others in existential immediate danger. This line of reasoning and justification stems from the same causality as laws against drunk driving.

It will be hundreds of years before political scientists and sociologists figure out how the state California managed to flip all this upside down.
The fact you can fix anything (even a misguided attempt) in 15mins with a live drive is a great strength imho. Back in the 90s you’d often have to reformat partitions to recover any OS.

I don't think that's true at all. If you go back and read his stuff, it ages pretty well in my estimation, largely because _why was apolitical. And he was way more informed by good humanities sources than any average Portland woke hipster.
You're more wrong than almost any poster I've ever seen on Hacker News. At least you got a throw away before you posted this ignorant comment.
That has nothing to do with this article, though.
I am just wondering what this app is (do not have an Instagram account so can’t try it; I had deleted mine, so not creating one). How the fuck everyone is talking about an app on HN that’s is Facebook one of the richest tech companies with one of the biggest tech pool out there which is just essentially a copy of Twitter.

It’s like kids got a new toy. Any toy. So they gotta play with it.
Casino royale was a remake of an older bond movie with the same name, using a rather well known actor at the time. Could've been a nostalgia cash grab but ended up being so great he's still the only James bond some people have known.

That was a risk taken and it pulled off greatly. Can we ever imagine seeing billion dollar studios taking similar risks?
And, of course, the death penalty for gay people.
Just as there are different descriptions of reality depending on the scale under discussion - quantum vs cosmological and everything in between - there are different scales to describe experience and, in particular, suffering. I think this is what Jobs was getting at, albeit it perhaps a bit too obliquely.

In that case, I'd hope they're changing it for the better, rather than making it more of an anodyne prude.
They were also severely restricted in what technology they could bring. But they still had fish hooks, survival clothing, advanced bow and arrows, an advanced saw or hatchet, fish line, and fire starter.

Only one was able to make fire without a fire starter. After watching Alone, I bought myself a fire starter, to carry when hiking.

I remember one father/son team. The son had some sort of fisheries degree, and considered himself a fishing expert. Father and son would fish, the father caught fish regularly, the son couldn't catch one. A lot of the fishing experts turned out to be not so good at fishing, the same for the hunting experts.

What's kinda sad is how bad most were at building shelters. They'd spend all their calories building a magnificent log cabin, and then were too weak to continue. Season after season they'd do this. Or they'd spend time carving toys. Or they'd burn down their shelter with a bad fireplace or poison themselves with the smoke.

The point is, humans have evolved to need an economy for mutual survival. Can't realistically do it alone, from scratch.
This is just AirBNB. According to the SF Travel Association, "tourism is down about 16% from 2019." That doesn't seem like that much of a drop for San Francisco. If it were closing in on 30% then that is bad.

It pains me to see stories about the "demise" of San Francisco. I lived above a bar in the Noe Valley and it was incredible. Now I would choose some place else to visit, things are unpredictable right now with crime and enforcement. My urban days are over, perhaps, but I would prefer something more stable and peaceful.
Surely that's only half the story. A competent customer has got to know low balling now just defers "unforeseen" costs later. If I've done 100 projects surely it's occurred to somebody to look at bid v. actual to gauge discrepancy?
This is using semver in the exact way it’s intended but with predictably silly outcomes. For several years now I’ve been of the opinion that this particular aspect of semver is … very bad actually.

For personal projects I skip any zero major prefixes. In their place, I use alpha/beta suffixes and version Major/minor/patch from an initial 1.0 alpha. Hasn’t caused any problems for me.
Because it seems like devs believe that 1.0.0 means "the API is perfect, it won't break ever again".

Somehow they feel like having a version 15.2.3 looks unprofessional (because the API got broken 14 times), but 0.100.0 is perfectly fine.

I just don't get it.
Not to mention, "simple" things like vision (aids), hearing (aids) and ability to read and write.
There could be additional electrical, cement, and other work required beyond just mounting the charger. Not to mention the planning and permit process.

Also, labor is expensive these days. It's not going to be a single person doing the entire install alone.

This is the standard quo in any first tier country today.
I think the calculus of a company deciding on an imperfect automation (such as self-checkout) is that it either won't prevent a purchase. in the case of chatbots, the purchase already happened, hiring a person to do this is just overhead.
this seems like it might suck a lot more for the actors?

You're incredibly misinformed on this issue. The prohibition War on Drugs is what keeps drug prices up, organized criminality and violence, and the over-incarceration of mostly poor people.

It’s been downloaded close to 100 million times at this point and has blown past every growth record to date. I think it’s completely logical for every mainstream news site to mention it.

I honestly can’t imagine a source like the New York Times not having an article. Twitter’s threatened lawsuit alone merited coverage.
I use zod but it's a workaround. I use non standard syntax to define types.

If typescript emitted type information, we'd be able to automatically get runtime validation at the boundaries of our apps.
I have been largely unimpressed by how they operate as a company handling users.

Six weeks ago, I tried to change my email but got frustrated that an obvious option wasn’t available in the settings page. So I deleted my account and went to create a new one. When I got to the phone verification, it told me that my phone number could only be used for two accounts, so I was not allowed to sign up. This was the second account I attempted to create, so my phone had only been used once. Naturally, I tried using my google voice phone number, but the system told me that type of number wasn’t allowed.

At this point, I navigated to their support page and had to talk with a chat bot that apparently isn’t powered by ChatGPT. I found it maddening and couldn’t locate an email address to communicate with a human. After a few 10 minute sessions over the course of a few days in search of an email, I finally located one. So I fired off an email explaining how I no longer had access due difficulties stemming from wanting to change my email.

After four weeks, I finally got a response that I’m not sure was written by a human. It completely misunderstood my succinctly described issue and desired resolution. I went back and forth multiple times with support including them suggesting if I am unhappy with their service to sign up for a pro account, pay for the service, and then request a refund. Ignoring the irrationality of the suggestion, I explained how I couldn’t log in to an account at all and simply wanted to access their service again. They continued to insist that once an account is deleted, it is deleted permanently, and I can never have access again. I don’t recall a warning of these major implications at the time of deleting my account with an old email address. At this point, I requested to be escalated to a human and have not heard back for a week now.

Admittedly, I shouldn’t have deleted my account initially, but I had decided that ChatGPT was something I wanted to continue using and needed to switch to my new email address since I have deprecated my old one. This entire process has left me so unimpressed with their company. It’s truly ridiculous how complicated every step has been along the way when I’m normally competent at these types of tasks.
The downtown area felt almost as busy as manhattan pre-covid, that crowd never recovered and the "homeless"/"crazies" have expanded their turf.

unpopular opinion, but this just fosters my opinion that TS people just don't understand JS at all. I wish TS would just die (another currently unpopular opinion). If you want runtime type safety, go use a different language and stop trying to ruin JS, it's already the messed up crazy cousin and it doesn't need to be in-bread anymore, it's perfect the way it is!
