The W3C has all their specs, as far as I know, use Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), and most use the subset of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). There seems to be a strong sentiment against using other types of identifiers, based on my experience on the Extensible Resource Identifier (XRI) technical committee in OASIS. So the chance that they'd create a new one for XPath was probably very unlikely, in my opinion. Even non-URL URIs might have been better for XPATH namespaces.

As an aside, I haven't used XPath in a few years, but use JSONPath / JSONPointer on multiple days each week, and highly recommend them. I find XML to be great for many things, but I find JSON much easier to work with.
For what it's worth, the 'VSCode-level' functionality in my init.lua has probably required roughly a few hours of maintenance over the ~7 years I've been using Neovim. The LSP setup is just a matter of finding a plugin manager (or not), installing the lspconfig plugin, pasting in the config from the README, and inserting a single line that contains the name of the language server you want to configure.

It can definitely lead you down all sorts of twisty paths if you look at other people's elaborate configs and decide to do that sort of stuff yourself but it's very pleasant/low-maintenance if you stick to the basics (meaning roughly what people do with VSCode). It takes me roughly a few minutes to configure Neovim for a new language :)

(Of course, there's some other stuff in my init.lua that I've put there for fun, like clipboard and window management scripts, but that's not strictly necessary. I've spent a bit more time figuring out the Lua API to write these, but I personally think it's worth it for the extra ability to mold the editor to my needs).
This exchange between HN users replicates conversations my wife and I have, almost to the letter. I suffer from GAD, where she suffers from ADHD, and while our neurodivergences are actively managed, we do notice that they tend to polarize us on certain topics.

To-Do Lists is one of them. Where she sees a way to organize herself and gets pleasure from "completing" lists, I see attempts to quantify an overwhelming amount of tasks that has no conveivable end. For my part, I have learned to adopt the mindset of "work stops when I decide I am done working," while is a healthy action for me that helps prevent my anxiety from running the show (and running me down), where as that same mindset would be abhorant to my wife. The funny part is that we both maintain about the same level of productivity overall, despite the opposing methods.

I suppose the take-away I am getting at is things like To-Do lists are going to be subjective, but the markets (particularly individuals that benefit from To-Do Lists) are going to treat them like a panacea for all that ails us. I refer to this promotion as Life Hack Hype, but I don't know if anyone shares my veiw or experiences on that.
one wonders who we learned it from!

FWIW I think your initial reply was absolutely fine as is. Talking about problems with your paying customers while asking upstream to work for free is pretty tone deaf.

You're missing that JJ probably doesn't have the many millions of lab tests for every talc batch sold to prove they're asbestos free. If they did they wouldn't be arguing they're asbestos free, they'd be proving it and suing the talc researchers for libel.
It was used a lot in the GDR (and i suppose a lot in eastern europe a few decades ago).
Interesting, I watched movie before reading the story, and personally I liked movie more. Story is different in narrative and in the conclusion.

Will be interesting to know is there a difference in a movie perception between peoples that read story first and people that come to movie without any idea what happens.
> What else is there except reward or punishment?

Nothing in terms of categories, but many people have "non-standard" coefficients in those mechanisms. Like:

> doing something with something extrinsic (nice food, money, new toy)

Those things are pleasurable and nice, but they don't work for me as a reward unless I can get them in under half an hour or so. My brain won't make the motivational connection between a task and a reward if the delay is larger.

The fundamental reward/motivation mechanism is the same, but it feels like (and I understand it actually is like) the "time discounting" has the exponential factor so large that it effectively becomes a step function - rewards become either "approximately now" or "approximately never".

Yes, this means that most of the things expected of adults are, for me, entirely unrewarding and thus nearly impossible to motivate to do. No, this is not a hyperbole. This is why several people in this thread are swearing to the motivational value of ticking a check box, and why I'm joining them in this - for a lot of mundane, daily tasks, ticking off a box is the only reward our brains can process.

(Sometimes the check box may work as a crutch, allowing enough successes in a row on an activity to let the brain pick up on a slightly more distant reward, and/or just habituate. This is, kid you not, how I had to re-habituate brushing my teeth a couple times in my life. Ain't ADHD great.)
The main issue is that MSRPC runs DCE over SMB named pipes - so one can't just take random DCE implementation and make it talk to NT's.

But AFAIK once you get onto named pipe transport, the protocol at worst got extended but not changed too much (new crypto options mainly, iirc?)
I made a flowerpot furnace many years ago. I think maybe this site was the guide. It worked really well. I started off with sand casting and then used the lost wax method. I cast things like Lego men or chess pieces. I cast a variety of metals, lead (horrible, don't do that), aluminium, copper and this weird aluminium/magnesium mix I obtained from a burnt out car engine block.

For the crucible and various components for the furnace I'd make items out of fireclay and fire them first.

The blower for the furnace was a vacuum cleaner with a copper pipe attached to the vent.

It was a fun project though took quite a bit of time to get the metal up to temperature.
I'd describe intrinsic rewards as "the thing, in and of itself, is enjoyable" and so if you're motivated primarily by intrinsic rewards, then doing anything that doesn't tickle that part of your brain tends to be somewhere between difficult and impossible and it's often the fear of punishment that finally forces you to do something. This is basically ADHD in a nutshell: can't do the thing because it's not fun, but oh crap the deadline is tomorrow so it must be done now because otherwise failure/get fired/etc.

So it's not so much about incentives or rewards, but that some people are motivated by things that aren't straightforward to control. Can you make unenjoyable tasks enjoyable? Maybe, if you understand that's the issue in the first place, and whatever it is that triggers that for you is something you can add to a task. e.g., a very common ADHD hack is doing something for other people - if you find it difficult to clean just for yourself, but you have guests coming over? Suddenly you're a cleaning machine; or perhaps you struggle to do boring, repetitive tasks in silence but add some music and off you go!

This is, incidentally, what makes being a manager actually challenging. People who are motivated by extrinsic rewards? Probably not super-difficult to motivate (raises, bonuses, public recognition, promotions, etc, are all tools for this). People who are motivated by intrinsic rewards? Well, that's a bit trickier, and I'm not sure what tools a manager would have available to them in this situation.
So from a first glance it looks like the love-child of LISP and Forth. Is that a correct assessment?
This is transitive risk.

Asbestos is clearly linked to cancer > asbestos was found in talc and known to form with talc naturally > risk of using talc that isn’t pure.

The problem is whether talc is pure. At that point it becomes a question of how much you trust J&J to verify that. My guess is that different mined sources varied in asbestos composition and there likely was some contamination that went undetected. But who knows.
> But the back and forth can really make your framerates drop - so to make it worth it, most of the simulation data has to remain on the gpu and you only put small chanks of data that have changed in and out. And ideally render it all on the gpu in the next step.

In my (limited, cuda so not webgpu) experience, memory transfers are fast and computation is fast, the thing that is slow is memory transfer _latency_. Doing a memory transfer takes a long time, but if you're doing one anyway, might as well transfer the world.

Is my recollection correct?
Much of the technology i mention are here now, concrete and available, storage/battery for sure, driven dy automotive conversion to electric, synthetic fuels are way more close than 20years, all the fossil fuel infrastructure will benefit, and here are big$$, and will work with CO2 capture tech, i suspect we will need this very very soon. In the future are fusion (hope), ad real -safe- fission.

if i have 1$ to invest, i think is wise to invest in tech available, deployable today, scalable, adaptable, and fine grained on territory. just an opinion.

At night use storage and transfer energy with grids, this tech is available now.
When windy, store in battery, and if needed transfert with grids, tech available now.
No sun, no wind, no sea/tides, no grid, neiter a generator? well.. placing a fission plant here seems the right case, but suspect no one will live in a such place..

So now you have two different error paths, one in which the file can't be accessed, and one in which the file can be accessed but the contents are corrupted? The developer must handle exceptions and they must still check if the function returned some sentinel error value?

What's the point of forcing two different error paths on the developer?
What other approaches are there that wouldn't lead to a quantum theory of gravity?
OPC-DA is still big but mercifully slowly and surely replaced by OPC-UA, which is properly portable.

OPC-DA essentially operated a lot like TWAIN - it specified an interface for OLE-loadable DLL to load, which would then implement actual communication driver for your infrastructure. OPC-UA describes its own protocol to talk between devices.

on the other hand, using vim mode in vscode let you use vim where it shines: modal editing. It's the best of both worlds.
Unless they've been doing shit like paying for promotion discounts in a "snowball" pyramid scheme - which I don't believe - they should not have a liquidity problem, quite the contrary, as people pay weeks to months in advance.

The interesting thing is... what's with the hosts who get into financial difficulties after 10 days of delayed payments. I get it that three years of a pandemic, the consequences of the Ruzzian war, and inflation have been a drain on everyone's reserves - but not even ten days of runway? Holy shit.
I think David Allen acknowledges this - his book focuses on the mechanics of how to execute and doesn't talk enough about his planning processes - how to make sure that what's on your task list lines is to your life / year / month goals.

His book does touch on that but not in enough depth - that's not what anyone takes away. I think he gets to that in another book of his.
Okay, now try doing that in monsoonal rains like the ones I grew up with as a kid. Between India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Brazil, several billion people live in heavy rainfall regions close to the equator. Most people in those regions would already know the reality of having to haul goods by bicycle in the rain, and I'd put money on them choosing a car if given the choice.

And that's kind of the point. Can you do this stuff by bicycle or other modes of transport? Sure, many do. Would most people make that choice? Probably not, so you have to take it away from them once they have the means to choose a car instead. That's a tough sell.
If during the recent pandemic we were able to see many, many groups of people mutually driving each other into hysterics of hygiene theater, to the point of doing utterly pointless and irrational things beyond the scope of anything scientific or practical, something like the dancing plague of 1518 (assuming it was a case of group hysteria and not something else), doesn't at all surprise.
It's always been like this. Vim is an editor, and so is Sublime Text, Emacs, VS Code, Geany, Kate, Notepad++, and more. What sets vim apart is its ubiquity (it's been on every Linux box I touched) and its philosophy of editing text (modal editing). Apart from that, it's a matter of preferences and practicality.
I would have guessed nearly 100%.
What’s awful?
+1. I mainly use this approach. If your next intended move is to go to the next line, Alt-J will exit insert mode and go to the next line immediately.
Also the same for Alt+w/W/b/B, Alt+o, Alt+0, etc etc and it's just a matter of using your left thumb at the same time as navigating.
And who and where exactly is finding "the death of civilians ... to be a cause of great celebration"? Citation needed, as they say in Wikipedia.

Anyway, you surely will find all sorts of people among 146 millions of Russians including serial killers and the likes. How does it justify being a person who is laughing over the death of civilian couple and orphaned and injured girl?

back in the day where every OTA (online travel agent) and airlines use XML for their API, we had to integrate them in an API gateway in order to unify their API schema and booking flow.

we wrote a small package[1] (using pugixml) to transform XML to JSON using a custom Xpath template syntax. Make our job much easier.

100% has to be a liquidity issue. I am guessing that they invest the funds in trust in overnight markets and someone has had too many losses.
Related thought: Imagine we received a lot of text in an alien language with a radio telescope, with no "Rosetta stone" to decipher it. Say, 1 TB worth of text.

Now we add to that data another 1 TB of English text, and train an LLM on the 2 TB of data. Then we ask the model (in English) to translate some text from the alien language to English.

Would it work?
It's a joke. It’s not practical.
Its no longer ebike adoption if its not ebikes. What is the point of getting people to "adopt" what isn't biking?
Having a similar background (PhD in math, working in deep learning), so knowing nothing of the specifics of medicine, I think that, if anything, there the situation is probably _worse_. Results are less transparent, and you can't just read a paper and know if the results are made "look nicer", if you don't have the raw numbers of the experiments (which you almost never have). At least, in ML you typically can get an idea by reading the paper attentively, and if you're determinate enough, often you even have the source code to check.

I guess that's why in medicine (and some other sciences), meta-reviews are so important: they read dozens or hundreds of papers on the same topic, compare methodologies, and try to deduce more realistic confidence intervals to limit statistical noise. That's how we now know that smoking definitely leads to higher probability of cancer, and most likely that's the case with red meat (and even more likely with smoked or otherwise preserved meat). The risk increases are small enough that a single study can never have the statistical power to prove it. Otherwise, when the famously wrong paper linking vaccines and autism came out, all families of poor autistic children could sue a lot (it was later proved that that one paper was fabricated with malice, but that doesn't change anything, if it were a random error the effect would be the same)

This is why I share your concern for the billions of $ in sues due to this one paper. I have no idea who is abstractly "right" - it might be there was asbestos, or maybe not, and it might be that these talc products increased cancer likelihood, or maybe not. But health, and particularly cancer, is tricky: we all develop multiple cancers, sooner or later, unless we die before. Trying to pinpoint a specific cancer to a source is like fining the proverbial last straw that broke the camel's back - except that in this case it's not the sum of the straws that kill the camel, but rather one random straw across all its load.

That said, I don't want to use this argument to wave company responsibilities away - of course companies who knowingly neglected safety measures, or endangered patient safety, should be punished with large fines (and possibly forced to shut down, in particularly extreme cases). As a European, I'm just uncomfortable with the idea of settling this in spectacular "patient vs. company" trials, where everything is dictated by the ability of lawyers and the will of judges, with results rather randomly ranging from nothing to literally making you rich (and again, your particular cancer might or might not be caused by that... and you can't really know, in any way). With the small additional caveat that you must have survived that in the first place, in order for the company to actually be significantly punished.
But.... It is not build... It is running one binary one time, without any inter-dependencies. This binary (go in case of golang and cargo in case of Rust) IS build tool in these cases.

Looking at your example I think I understood why there is two schools for thoughts about this (and similar ones): because different ecosystems (go/rust vs C/C++/ObjC, mostly in these days, but also Fortran, etc) have completely different build needs.

Golang and Rust (and node.js, AFAIK) almost doesn't need external build tool, as they have their own (go, cargo, npm). It is very easy to make receipt for such build in any, even very limited, DSL, with any "task running" software.

On the other hand, how will Taskfile look for complex C/C++ project? You want separate on-demand compilation of each source file separately ("${CC} ${ALL-SOURCES}" is baaaaad idea), you need dependency extraction (ugly part of any Makefile, I admit, but receipts are well-known), you need linking, you often need some resource processing, or yacc/bison generation.

I don't think, Task file with all these features will be less ugly than typical Makefile. And many tricks are non-existing for Taskfile (and it is not clear, are they possible at all without extending DSL), and well-known for Makefiles.

This difference leads to polar views on such software.

Thank you for example!

Vertical landing drops staight in from the sky, and comes to an immediate halt. These planes just need a strip of concrete wider & longer than the plane itself. Realistically you could comfortably put one down on a motorway service station carpark, and then lay a short portable runway along its off-ramp for takeoff.
> The basic idea of bankruptcy is that if you have a company with $1,000 of assets and $2,000 of liabilities, you can’t pay back everyone everything you owe them. You could just pay back the first creditors who show up and ask for their money back, until the $1,000 is gone, and then give the remaining creditors zero, but that seems unfair

I'm entirely unconvinced that J&J couldn't pay back everything they owe, to everyone they owe it to, without bankruptcy and the fact that they were able to avoid all of those individual lawsuits is already J&J getting off the hook unfairly and avoiding their full liability.

If I'm wrong about that and without bankruptcy J&J would be forced to go out of business before everyone could get paid, then no matter if they use bankruptcy or not, the end result of that bankruptcy should still mean that every penny they have goes to their victims and the families of their victims (evenly distributed or whatever) until J&J actually does go out of business.

If J&J in, any form, survives because of this “Texas two-step" then the “Texas two-step" is an insult to victims and to justice and should be outlawed.

Perhaps bankruptcy is a great way to divide up whatever is owed to everyone, but as long as J&J continues to exist it means that they got off the hook. Honestly, many of J&J's serial killers and mass poisoners should be locked up for the rest of their lives. Murder was extremely profitable for them. They'll do it again if they have the opportunity.
It might also be one of the reasons why the assumption is veering towards "man" in headlines such as "professor turns fluids into black holes." When media go out of their way to stress that it concerns a woman, the default assumption for ungendered terms will remain male.

I always forget this, but yeah, I think you are right.

Prime example for me were those talks about rail worker strikes. They were completely disallowed from happening. I understand the reasons, but despite not being any sort of leftist, I find it quite unfair that rail workers can't strike.

Police, teachers, actors and writers, etc. all have that right. Rail workers? Nope. I don't know what to call the political economic system we live under, but it seems to just be that our leaders make it up as we go along and allow whatever happens to be convenient and not blatantly illegal. Nobody gives a shit about rail workers, so legally blocking a strike by them isn't going to cause any problems.
I think there is no issues in bundling software to provide a turn key solution, that way the customers can focus on their business, not the complexity that comes with digital solutions.

with that being said, I'm pretty sure marketplace regulations (such as booking.com) forces the marketplace to be out of the money flow. so this should be on the PSP side, it's strange that booking.com is halting payments this way.

another point is that they're collecting 4% interest on money that's not theirs ... I wonder if they plan on paying out the interest.
