I would actually love a “Typescript: The good parts” as a spiritual sequel to Javascript: The good parts. [0] Something that starts at the basics and builds upon that knowledge layer by layer like this handbook, but doesn’t dedicate more than a page to any one topic, and doesn’t repeat itself. Not a tutorial, but more like a glossary ordered by abstraction.

Plus, there’s a lot of Typescript I would consider not part of the “good stuff”, we can leave out enums.

Do you have a source for this claim? Why would the contract be legally stronger than the license?

GPL prohibits further restrictions on rights of the code recipient. Contractual terms are sometimes found unlawful/invalid by courts. I guess this question can really be resolved only by a court.

Of all the anti-piracy wars, I feel like this one is probably the most viscerally futile. Anime may have become substantially more mainstream than it was in the past, but it just has a huge culture around piracy and fansubs that is not going to be easy to shake; this is especially true as the main legal venues for anime consolidate and target primarily mainstream audiences, leaving a lot of the older fans disillusioned with purchasing anime goods outside of direct imports from Japan.

I am not a huge anime watcher, but it's hard to think of a fan base more obsessed with cleaner rips, better encoding, etc. and a ton of people in the scene are simply not motivated by the prospect of making money.

I sincerely do not believe you can turn a substantial amount of the people pirating anime into e.g. Crunchyroll subscribers. I'll believe it when I see it.

(Of course, mentioning Crunchyroll is, in itself, kind of funny: owing to just how rooted the modern foreign anime fan scene is rooted in piracy, it began as a website for pirating anime.)

Why “no”? I was literally describing the framework in which the spiritual idea of karma is commonly found: religion with the belief of cyclical rebirth.

What you go on to describe does not match up to “karma” as found- using that term- in religions.
I agree most philosophy would benefit from being tied back to human experience in the material world, ‘touching grass’ so to speak.

I think Lakatos’ Research Programmes give a good structure for demarcating scientific knowledge from pseudoscience. And precisely because he provides a pragmatic method for how this should inform low level decisions about scientific funding bodies and what scientists choose to work on.

I think most people would reject his ideas because of the intuition you describe: scientists ‘feel’ like they ‘know’ their expert subject and so epistemological relativism feels dirty because they lose their delusion of objectivity. “I use fancy methods so I’m a ‘real’ scientist and my conclusions are scientific!”

I believe the issues in nutritional science, psychiatry and psychology (to name a few) are fundamentally because these sciences are hard to study, so researchers use sophisticated statistical methods to hide their lack of ‘true knowledge’ or epistemological uncertainty.

It’s why Lobotomies won a Nobel prize and all the major classes of psychiatric medication were discovered accidentally. It is a discipline made up of mostly degenerate research programmes but too much inertia to change track.

It's not solar radiation forcing that has made things relatively cooler, but it is cooler than 20M years ago. Of course, we could actually reach those temperatures again soon.

I also felt the Zen 2 Laptop chips marked a huge step forward on the Win/Linux side at that time: generationally more power efficient than the best laptop chips from Intel, same core/thread count as the desktop equivalents, and cheap enough to be in a lot of budget laptops.
Is there a reason you're recommending spending that much if they afford it? I mean, could be neat I guess. I did it when I was in high school but it turned out to just be a massive waste of money, and that's when GPUs were less than $3k.

These days I typically view that move as pretty irresponsible unless it seriously decreases your time spent doing something or you're practically shitting money.

If you want Google Photos to back up your photo library… it needs full access to everything to do that.

Very very few apps should need full photo access. But photo backups/cloud libraries are the one I can think of that do.

I was actually surprised no one on ATP brought that up.
codemod is a syntax conversion tool, using regexes. Thread-safety isn't even semantic--it's an emergent behavior question, the same as "does this code halt?" There is no general solution.

For example, is this code thread-safe?

foo(int* x) {
int z;
for (int* y = x + 1; y != 0 && *y < *(y - 1); ++y) {
z = *y;
}
return z;
}

You can't tell from static analysis of the function. It depends upon what guarentees are imposed upon the passed-in "x" value. For example, if "foo" is only referenced as a function pointer passed to "baz" (also in the library), and "baz" creates "x" and uses it in a thread-safe manner, then there's no problem. But there's no guarenteed mechanical way to determine if "baz" is indeed doing the right thing, or what changes should be made to make it so.

Supposedly OCD is your brain’s cause-effect loop being too potent. As in, you have a random fear I.e. “stove is on, fire will burn down house,” you go to check the stove, and the act of checking (regardless of its being on) creates the feeling that you saved your house from burning down, so now you feel compelled to check every time. Paraphrased from the Huberman podcast.
Before Away Teams became a thing there we had people "loaned" to teams to update our code for team projects. I remember during one of the code reviews I did for someone "loaned" to us involved him commenting out validation checks in critical systems that had legal and financial ramifications. When I asked him why he commented it out he said "Oh, my code didn't work with those checks in there so I removed them." I get that the code is complex and he doesn't have the full domain knowledge, but he didn't even ask why they were there and why certain use cases were not allowed for that part of the code.

statistics assumes you have data prepared and ready to work on.

data science is more practical in a sense, you learn more to prepare real-life data for analysis.

My only real forays with Perl in anger was back with the original camel book and Perl 4. The secret sauce was the ability to persist the associative arrays to a dbm file.

Even though I worked on a lot of Unix boxes doing assorted data processing, Perl was never my goto for the same reason I adopted vi instead of eMacs.

As good as it was, it didn’t come stock on my clients machines, and I could not presume to install it or count on it being there. So, the litany of classic Unix tools prevailed and I simply became adept at working with those.

My few temptations to dip my toes in the modern (at the time) Perl waters just found indecipherable source code (to my ignorant eyes) and disastrous attempts to get whatever it was I was dabbling with out of CPAN. I was never very successful with it.

Ask HN: Best Shell Setup with Modernity
I've been using my own shell setup with some useful shortcuts like:

- press arrow-up and use the prefix to search history
- enable vim mode for editing

But in general it's brittle. For example, if I press arrow-up and edit the current command, sometimes there seems to be some characters being shifted and the command would make no sense.

I would love to be able to edit command using vim-mode in a more robust. Sometimes I want to edit by using a mouse to point the cursor to the place I want to edit. I'd also love to know other useful capabilities that I am not aware of.

If folks can share what you are using and what you like about it, that would be great.
Nyaa has been targeted, though. It's jumped several domains in the past, and in one of the most insane measures I've ever seen, I recall a time where linking it on Twitter was full-on banned. Maybe it's less targeted now because it's simply proven to be too evasive to find any good pressure points, or perhaps it's just in the back burner after previous failed attempts.

(I don't see a point in not mentioning it by name, but maybe I'm missing something.)

Relativism? Yes I would say so.

There are a lot of realists who spend some amount of their time arguing with other realists who believe contradictory things. Or doing mental gymnastics to convince themselves that their beliefs about morality are somehow objectively true, and other people's are objectively false.

Moral relativists waste less time doing this. Your own percept of morality, better and worse, good and bad, is as real/true as any other percept. Morality isn't any more or less than that.

It makes me nervous when I read articles like this and then do some research and find out that the author didn't work as an engineer in engineering teams. Someone will pick this up and say "Amazon does this - we should too!" Not really understanding the ramifications of this model for all the parties involved should be front and center when there are write-ups like this.

This is our worry with building Auto-GPT as well. We have had a number of rather involved discussions on why we don’t use it. I’d love if you published so I can point to it rather than rehashing it every few days.
It's a response to the Info Explosion and the associated Noise and chaos.

Once everyone is hooked up to a network, or as networks hook up with to each other, the thing that happens always is Info explodes. As cost to broadcast drops to 0,cost to exploit, spam and scam drops to 0 too. Ppl want attention much more than they are capable of paying attention. Such things compound the Info Tsunami.

And we have 3 inch chimp brains to parse it all. The info overloads everything.

Unless systems exist that compress the info and make them meaningful.

That's what financial credit ratings try to do. That ls what's Google search rankings try to do. That's what youtube/fb/amazon search tries to do. Thats what the financial market indexes try to do. Each case is a reaction to info exploding.

Freedom to keep exploding info matters less and less. When people are talking about Trust they are really asking for solutions to the info explosion. My company had 5 ppl now it has 5000 who do I pay attention on any given day?

The sign that solutions are working is simple - info has been reduced.
I'm not saying that Perl didn't have its time and place. It certainly fulfilled a need at the time for a language more capable than shell scripts, but less cumbersome than C/C++.

But the thing is that today the shell landscape is much more mature for solving simple problems, and we have C/C++ alternatives that are saner and more capable than Perl (e.g. Go). So it arguably has lost its place, as shell tools are still in widespread use, while Perl is mostly underused. Raku is interesting, but it goes in a different direction, and its adoption is practically zero.
It still provides really good semantic search! The search will return snippets from your raw data itself, while the LLM gives you the experience of chatting with it.

I'll also point out that quoted argument doesn't even make any sense.

The vast majority of people are not going to run their computers at full tilt all day every day all year long. Most of the time is spent in idle cycles or very low usage, so efficiency gains matter a lot.

If you are the few people who run their computers full tilt, it still doesn't make sense because you will finish your task sooner meaning you will spend less energy and time overall completing the same task as before.
Asus and Acer are Taiwanese, not Chinese, and none of them actually manufacture their own laptops in house, that is outsourced to manufacturing partners.

And yes, that includes Framework, who use Compal as their manufacturing partner.
We’ve had a lot of similar concerns when working on Auto-GPT and have been repeatedly asked why we don’t use it. You’ve solidified a lot of the reasons it’s not fit for purpose for large complex projects.

We’ve received a lot of commentary on our unwillingness to use it, and I don’t blame you for being hesitant. I don’t want to be the open-source project that says it’s not good when it’s not suitable for our uses.

It is instructive to note that airline pilots are very well trained, constantly undertake refresher training and testing. So the competence level of airline pilots is far greater than the average car driver.

Yet, there have been many instances when pilots lulled by the monotony of monitoring autopilot piloted planes have failed to respond correctly when the autopilot disengaged with a warning.

Managers and development teams of all self-driving technology firms should be required to watch the entire series of "Air Crash Investigations" and actively learn from the decades of experience.

Of course, that will never happen. It would contradict their sense of superiority and incessant pursuit of share portfolio gains.
I used to be in the Away Team at Amazon. Terrible experience.
Within 0.5y I changed 3 lines of code. Most of the time was spent in unproductive meetings with individual teams "gossiping" - he said it works that way but she thinks that's actually an edge case because of this so what do you think. Some code was secret, all documentation was outdated. Asking for a specific code change, or waiting for a promised deliverable usually was just idle time. All that while teams have their own goals and priorities, and you're treated like an outsider. Honestly I feel like I wasted a year of life while at that team.
There is some question whether CTAN (for TeX) or CPAN was the first big library. It was pretty close. I was involved tangentially with the guys in the UK who were setting up the first pass at CTAN as the administrator of the ymir.claremont.edu archive and I remember one of the things that they came up with back then was that you could do an FTP get of any directory and get back a zip archive of its contents which was pretty fancy in the 90s. That said, both CPAN and CTAN definitely show their age in that they assume a single version of dependencies will be installed on any system which causes untold nightmares when it turns out that there’s a non-backwards compatible update to something three dependencies deep that you weren’t even aware you were using.
