I'm not sure what you mean by closures being cumbersome in rust.

Rust uses closures very heavily, for things like iterators, spawning threads, async tasks, and lots of other things. I've never felt them to be cumbersome at all.

Actually, for me, closures in rust are easier to use than in any other language I have used besides for various lisps!

At whom? You, your friends and family are the ones who chose to make this the method. If most people didn't have Facebook accounts, it wouldn't be the default for these things.
It apparently needs to spy on your Apple Watch heartbeat and every other sensor on your phone.
Mandelorian was good on Season1 too.

It seems shows have a chance of skating by, but if they are well reviewed they’ll get Disney Fingers all over them starting in their second season.

Andor was great. Give me one reason to think they won’t screw it up.
They're probably talking about True Scotsman's Self-Hosting whereby your MTA is not configured to go through someone else's SMTP forwarding host, but is slugging it out on its own, sending mails directly to target mail domains, and is sitting on an IP address that doesn't have reputation for sending mail. Self-hosting like it's 1992.

The wise man accepts that using a reputable forwarding host for sending is still valid self-hosting.
While you can't downvote me with so little karma, you can express your disagreement in a more thoughtful way, by pointing to a mistake in my argument. A downvote won't change my position, won't silence me and won't even make my comment disappear. So why bother?
Got to admit, as disruptive an action this may be, it’s also pretty funny given how simple and non-destructive this is.

Usually we see actions that are more damaging - but the simple act of “coning” would seem to be a relatively low risk act of defiance that Waymo may not have an easy answer to.
Nobody has covered the interesting angle -- this is the first time I've seen social media companies launch direct competitors, rather than a novel way to capture attention.

At least, the first time in a while
If that were true, there would be no rape.

An estimated 1 in every 16 men, and some non-zero percentage of women, seem to be pretty cool with it (at least as perpetrators).
Too many animations. Probably loading in a lot of custom js. Honestly keeping it simple is probably the best bet it already looks pretty generic for these kinds of sites the animations don't really help. Often the goal for those is subtle which is why people spend a lot of money on ux designers to do just that. Overall it's fine but some stuff should probably just be removed. Your site isn't really accessible but that shouldn't matter for your userbase.
Everything I have heard about the importance of .com is signalling, particularly from that Paul Graham article. Basically, you need .com to signal to investors and users that the company is a serious endeavour.

Meta has no need to signal that it is a serious player. Nobody is going to wonder if a Meta product is a Nigerian scam.
Newsom is going to run for president soon. Half the articles you see about how horrible SF is include references to 'Newsom's San Francisco' even though it's been a dozen years and 3 mayors since his tenure.
I think this is a good coping mechanism, though I disagree that you should always follow your heart. We are often not mature or knowledgeable enough, and our heart makes dumb, impulsive decisions which can hurt us and the ones we love. Our practical, rational side is there to temper that part of us.

Cultivate wisdom so that you can live a good life and die without regrets is better to me than following your heart.
I'm surprised they don't flash the lighting at high speed. Humans have persistence of vision--computers don't.

It seems like you could create 1 frame green, 1 frame magenta, and n frames normal and still pick up the data you need.
Will still be cheered on as revolutionizing the world.
There was old compositing method using special camera and monochromatic background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_vapor_process. Results were so good I wonder why it wasn't used more widely: use background lit with monochromatic light and special camera that has modified Bayer pattern including subpixels for that background wavelength, and you basically have perfect compositing.
That wouldn't be an interesting take or conversation and is sort of against the HN vibe.

Not to say that doesn't happen all the time, but agree with GP; they did a thing meh. Will seen if it gets traction over Twitter and then that will be interesting.
It's very uneven, and which domain(s) you have trouble with will not necessarily be the same as anyone else's problem domains. I also self-host, no mailing lists, personal mail only, and my one and only deliverability problem is AT&T. Google? OK. Comcast? OK. Charter? OK. Hotmail? OK. Any @sbcglobal.net address, or anything else associated with SBC d/b/a AT&T? Fahgeddaboudit. I can check the public DNSBLs, and there's no problem. I can jump through AT&T's hoops, and get their automated replies, and next week I try to send to a person on AT&T and find I'm back on their secret blacklist.
It takes forever to load. I'd scroll down and think I'm at the end only for something else to pop up like 5 seconds later
Overengineering confessions. He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.

There’s a seductive aspect to abstraction and generalization. But I don’t even think that’s what makes these things so bad in practice. It’s other, more trivial things, like losing stack traces, imposing of types and flow control that the author didn’t anticipate, but pains the user tremendously.

We don’t really have good measurements for - and often overlook those aspects - which causes us collectively to suffer only after a great commitment of time and labor. I’m pretty convinced that complexity isn’t just mentally confusing but actually hard measurable, as long as we have language to describe it and a well tuned skepticism towards unnecessary layers of indirection. Function coloring is one such attempt, imo, at explaining the great costs of something which looks innocent.

You forgot “and drawbacks” after “And the benefits”.
You could argue that algebra was a precursor of calculus and that basic operations were precursors of algebra. This is a rather reductionist argument. They hadn't even invented zero or algebra when they found ways to produce square roots or that you could make interesting ratios from the sides of a triangle (yes, I know about the history of zero and that is a slight exaggeration, but no symbol for zero existed in Mesopotamia when they were calculating inverse proportion roots).

My real point is that these thing don't require calculus (though calculus does require them). Most people who take trigonometry (or "precalculus" as they usually call it today) couldn't tell you anything about limits let alone derivatives, integrals, and the fundamental theorem of calculus.

As to Newton inventing calculus, he was a vehement antagonist to Leibniz claiming that his work on calculus had been stolen. That's no the attitude of a man who believed calculus was obvious from looking at previous works.
Unfortunately this is true, as I grew more experienced I’m very careful with the dependencies I add to a project. I don’t work with React Native but I hear horror stories of how the hundreds of dependencies force you to either stick to the old versions of stuff or keep fixing or rewriting things that used to work. Seems totally unsuitable for a side project you want minimal maintenance over time.
I love Go, but I find the following things contradictory in the design.

"Don't communicate by sharing memory, share memory by communicating" from go proverbs[0].

And in the article, "When you create a goroutine, you're essentially allocating a closure and adding it to a queue in the runtime."

Because of this it becomes very easy to share memory by mistake and you end up with bugs. On the other hand Elixir's design makes this kind of thing very hard to do by mistake.

Feels like they have to boot a VM every time you click something.

Their cloud CMDB offerings are horrendous, and in my experience get bought before anyone gets a chance to let the blood out.
I feel let down by many of the airbnbs we have visited lately. There is always some weird aspect that was never represented properly. I've always loved nice hotels tho. They've all been nicer than hostels tho.
When you buy an Xbox game, you're buying a PC game. Both Sony and Microsoft's first party output are available on Steam. You can run Microsoft Office on an Xbox, the Steam Deck by default has the UX of a console. Sony and Nintendo are the only companies sticking close to their roots, but as mentioned, even Sony is letting that slip. "Console wars" is a misnomer, an old label inherited from the Sega v Nintendo days, it's not that simple anymore.

Windows isn't the "winner" because Windows isn't an app store, Microsoft don't get a cut of every game sold on Windows, but from sales through their store. That's the revenue stream that matters, moreso than how many Xboxes or windows licenses they sell.

You're not wrong that a lot of people don't see things this way. But they, particularly regulators, probably should.
1. Completely broken with javascript disabled. Which is to say, completely broken.

2. When permitted javascript, it appears to use it to... intentionally fill in page contents slowly? It's hard to fully convey how obnoxious this is.

3. I assume you're aware that the "Pricing" link at the top goes to a page that contains no information whatsoever about pricing?

4. For the FAQ page (which is somehow also the pricing page, despite the lack of pricing?), having to manually open and close each question is cumbersome and annoying. Or rather, it would be only cumbersome and annoying, except that you have once again introduced the "intentionally slow down displaying content" javascript, which makes it outright infuriating.

5. Clicking on "Products" does absolutely nothing. Hovering over "Products" brings up some obnoxious little micro-lightbox bullshit.

6. Clicking on either of the items in the obnoxious little micro-lightbox bullshit takes you to... the front page of the site. The entire site appears to only have two pages, so why are you insistent on pretending that it's four?

7. The fact that one of the first problems that this site with wretched UX claims to be able to solve is "Poor UX" is some absolutely top shelf comedy. My compliments to whichever troll managed to sneak that joke in.
The tiny screenshots in the bottom of the page should be right at the top and bigger showing what this product can provide. Let your product do the selling.
One of the most important general life skills imo
Beats me. I lost focus after about 10 seconds of scrolling and the multiple animations.

At which point I bailed.
It's never been like this. Are you afraid of cities? Sf used to be a nice place to visit.
In my last role, I built an education reviews site at scale — challenge is remaining objective given that your audience are actively airing the dirty laundry of your paying customers. Commercially it didn’t stack up, so we had to monetise the traffic through display ads.

Same case with Glassdoor — dissing paying customers through your audience is never good for business.
Thank you! I really couldn't imagine two donkeys being the price, but even that was easier than trying to workout what the biological explanation would have been.

And BTW, it's not my job to show something is propaganda. It's curriculum designer's job to show everything in the curriculum is an undeniable scientific fact. That's easy to do with math or physics but much harder with humanities and arts, which is why all the propaganda concentrates there.
Wow that looks impressive. Is this on the fediverse?
https://litestar.dev is also reaching 2.0 .it is a lot faster than FastAPI yet much better maintained. Has DTO, event and channels, Repository, Service DDD style framework built-in. No promotional commits.

It’s not constant; the algorithm runs in pseudo-polynomial time.
You can add me to that list. I lived in SF from 2006-2011, when I left for NYC. I went back in 2022 for the first time in a decade, fearful that the city I loved had been ruined. I spent twelve hours one day walking the city, and I was pleased to see that she’s still there, and it’s not as bad as the internet said. I did the edge of the tenderloin, but didn’t venture in, and I can see that there are some real problems that need to be addressed, but it’s not a hellscape just yet.
Repercussions should not be what keeps you from murdering someone anyway. It shows you're still on stage 1 on Lawrence Kohlberg's scale of moral development [0]. I don't think your argument is valid for most people.

I don't think you realize just how horrendously bad Python would be for this application. The global interpreter lock and marshaling between Python objects and GPU state would absolutely kill any kind of performance.

Pick up Rust and Bevy. It should be pretty easy to mock up what you want, and you can dip into wgpu when you need extra fine control over the GPU.

Before anyone jumps ship on ProtonMail because they didn't read past the headline, by "Rewrites Your Emails, the author means that ProtonMail doesn't support user-applied PGP signatures because of the way they've decided to architect their automatic signing and encryption system. ProtonMail isn't rewriting outbound emails in the sense that the average person is probably thinking. If you're part of the 99.9% who doesn't sign their emails or verify signatures, this issue is unlikely to actually matter to you.

That said, Proton's response to this issue is joke.

The website is slow to do an initial load and when scrolling it takes longer than a second to load the next section. The website seems mostly static, (except for the PerfAI terminal) it shouldn't be this slow.

It looks like you're using Webflow, not sure if it's possible to make it faster.

What if that’s exactly the point — it’s a material not designed for longevity? I mean I hate disposal plastic as much as anyone who’s seen a turtle with a straw stuck up its nose, but paper straws really don’t work more than 3 min.

To keep conveniences like my iced caramel frappalattechino we need a fast biodegradable, but like 3 hours degradable not 3 min degradable.

No idea if this is that, but “artificial shapes made of sugars like cellulose but not quite cellulose” sounds like you might be able to design something good that isn’t a forever chemical.

Remember SunChips? They made a “this multi-layer plastic snack bag can actually biodegrade AND keep our snack grease from leaking out on the shelf” chip bag. But they killed it because every crinkle sounded like a gun so people hated it. We still haven’t figured out those kinds of materials that work well.
I don’t understand what warrants have to do with key distribution.

The problem here is much simpler than that: you can’t encrypt to me if you don’t know my key. PGP doesn’t give you a sound way to get my key; every mechanism offered by the larger PGP ecosystem is either broken or disabled due to persistent abuse.

Opportunistic detection of type 2 diabetes using deep learning from chest x-rays
In a remarkable demonstration of the capabilities of large multimodal ResNet models applied to chest X-ray images, we've revealed how the integration of EMR data can enable accurate predictions of Type 2 diabetes. Much akin to the principles of real estate, location is paramount; the area where fat is deposited in the body significantly influences the risk. The beauty of this is that chest radiographs are common and in many cases will precede the diagnosis of diabetes.
>People claim that SF is a boom and bust town as if it’s some force of nature. It isn’t. Claiming that there will be another boom is wishful thinking.

Couldn't have said this better myself. Tired of people saying there's gonna be another boom as if it's a sure thing.
It would be nice but the problem is not that big of a deal if you use any of the community libraries they mentioned.

You won't have to wait long, that space is red hot right now. People are rushing to commercialize LLM powered NPC dialoge. nVidia's ACE might cut everyone's lunch though we will see.

There is one tech demo which has you piecing together what happened at an accident by talking with the NPCs.

There's also a Skyrim mod that replaces all the NPCs with LLM actors.

I think the turning point for that technology will be locally run LLMs that can be very finely tuned and trained on your world data.
People who proclaim themselves opinioned also seem to have bad opinions.

> Tech debt it any mess that makes it harder to improve the product.

Technical debt is absolutely NOT just "any mess that makes it harder to improve the product", not in its original formulation, and that's what GP comment is saying. Ward says directly, "A lot of bloggers at least have explained the debt metaphor and confused it, I think, with the idea that you could write code poorly with the intention of doing a good job later and thinking that that was the primary source of debt."[0]

Technical debt here, and in the linked article, refers to specific, intentional choices about features and behavior. I've taking to call thing formulation "Classic" or "Traditional" technical debt, to differentiate it from the more widely used definition that includes "any mess". In other words, a mess is not a Technical Debt, or as Andy Cleff says[1], "you don’t have Technical Debt – you have a mess, you have cruft: An unpleasant substance, the result of shoddy construction, redundant, old or improperly written code."

I don't know man, it used to give me results where my query would appear in the text. this is not happening anymore. even if I use quotes around a term it will just be ignored. I feel like my searches are too specific, it might have gotten better for the average person, but worse for people looking for some more special information.
I think it really depends on the use case, no? You can design a framework to be more or less restrictive, and the best tend to be less so, (which allows you to do stupid things but has good guidance on how to NOT to do that).

For instance, you could have an http framework that handles things like compression, buffering, timeouts etc, which are likely to work everywhere. But you could also design it such that each mime type comes with a separate class, like a HTMLTreeBuilder, or something like that, which would be horrible and way too constrained.

Elaborate type systems can, in some cases, seduce this kind of overengineering. If it really looks like something can be modeled as a type, chances are that the author cannot resist it.

That's because the rest of them are working in other fields (combination coffee bars, thrift stores and barber shops.) I am proposing hiring them as tech writers instead.

Also, I don't think identity politics particularly have anything to do with it. (Japanese people are even more hipster than Portlanders and of course invented Ruby, so you could probably find some of them too for diversity. The aesthetic would be different though because of cultural differences.)

Relevant history?

“ However, the neighborhood faced decline during the Depression and post-WWII period. In the 1960s, the district became a haven for hippies due to the availability of cheap rooms and vacant properties, turning it into a center for counterculture, drugs, and music.

The 1967 Summer of Love brought national attention and popularized the counterculture movement. However, the Haight-Ashbury district later faced issues of overcrowding, homelessness, hunger, drug problems, and crime. ”
For business travel I’m not going to risk it. But for personal travel I’m still finding the vast majority of properties are well maintained and, for me anyway, multitudes more comfortable than a hotel room. Just the fact that i can stop at a store and buy a hundred dollars worth of groceries that will last me three days is worth it.

The number one issue I have with airbnb is that you are completely on your own to resolve issues with the host. And some hosts are scumbags.
