Like I said, I read their requirement differently—the phrase they use is "the code only".

I don't think that including backticks is a violation of this requirement. It's still readily parseable and serves as metadata for interpreting the code. In the context of ChatGPT, which typically will provide a full explanation for the code snippet, I think this is a reasonable interpretation of the instruction.
Steaming services have become the very thing they were supposed to replace. The only advantage they have is that you can drop in and out of subscriptions, although, I suspect, it won't be long before they move towards 12 month lock-ins.
Yeah, there wasn't really an ozone hole... in the northern hemisphere.

Why did everybody talk about it so much and spend so much effort fixing it?
Yea, it should all be allowed and just as regulated as gambling is the point.
I understand the technical reasons (caused by cultural reasons) why Python ended up with colored async but man oh man was it a bad choice for a high-overhead language to do that…
I will never understand how anyone thought "ctrl shift C" was a good idea to start a call -_-
Mobile games have been mostly scammy ad-filled trash for ages, but what kills me is how it's polluting PC and console titles. I picked up a copy of Mortal Kombat 10 and while I have no idea what it looked like when it launched, now it looks just like a shitty F2P mobile game complete with full screen ads you have click past, as well as paywalled off characters and moves. I'd be so pissed if I'd paid $60+ for it instead of < $10 for a used PS4 disk.
KongHQ at least have Kong (the proxy), which I guess they can sell enterprisy support contracts etc for. Perhaps they won't need/want to make Insomnia a subscription nightmare?
It's not just the winning that is addicting to gamblers. More often, it's the losing. Losing recapitulates the feelings of deep shame that they feel, but don't feel are necessarily justified. So in order to re-justify those feelings, they gamble away money and "act shamefully" so to speak.

This same pattern is behind a lot (if not all) addictions. It's not just a physical addiction or a dopamine rush, and it's not generally the upside that addicts are addicted to.
What are we (IT workers) waiting to unionize?
For the past years the IT workers have been the privileged lot and we usually tend to forget that most of us are still workers dependant on our salaries. Salaries that are declining with an increase of responsabilities while companies make record profits. What are we waiting for?
> ipv6 takes a very simple addressing schema and unnecessarily turns it into an entire beeping protocol for no reason.

IPv6 is simpler than IPv4 in that you don't need to setup infrastructure (e.g., DHCP) to get going.
The problem is that the same note can be played in multiple string/fret combinations so all it tells me is that the note was played, not "note was played via this string/fret combination"
Wow, Akita looks awesome and super powerful/simple for o11y - IMO one of the most important things you can do for enterprises being coherent with their data. I look forward to trying it.

That said, powerful observability tools (Solarwinds anyone?) are really hard to make persistently secure, especially as they grow in their cumulative observations. I'm not really sure there exists a turn-key approach to secure these systems at scale without oppressive overhead or a near perfect team.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear about a mis-configured security group on an Akita instance caused a sev1 within 5 years.

Definitely not unique to either Akita or Postman but always worth discussing IMO

Congrats to Jean and the Akita team!
That is simply not how the vaccine was presented by authorities and the media. They literally said the vaccine will stop you from getting it and stop transmission. It took them months to acknowledge you could still get it and spread it with the vaccine and all the data simply points to a reduction in severity of symptoms.

What happened was they rolled out the vaccine before they had all the data, and it was bit oversold despite lack of data, perhaps to encourage people to get it.

It's water under the bridge now. But don't gaslight people on what they were told.
Weren’t you talking about promoting people without them proving themselves? At what level should they need to prove themselves before getting a promotion.
Insomnia feels like it's falling down the same rabbit hole as postman. It's used to be a more usable, less overbuilt, bloated, alternative to postman, but now... meh
Why would one assume content owners would forever like to split their profit with an unnecessary middleman?

Setting up streaming software and servers is much less capital intensive than running wires to everyone’s house or operating a network of satellites.

Having a tough time keeping token usage low, and context beefy enough to response to user's with useful information.

One strategy I've applied is to qualify a question into one of several categories and then use a small hyperfocused context.

Another is to remove commas and currency symbols from money values.
Two Jira Plugin Vulnerabilities in Attacker Crosshairs
I don't I always find it crazy that society has drawn these weird lines where if you want some chicken tenders you can slaughter a billion and treat them terrible but if you want to push the limits of human knowledge you need 6 levels of oversight.
I see people get their insecurities exploited by companies that sell Veblen goods. They use psychology tricks to make people feel inferior or part of an out-group.

Makes me sick. Its basically impossible to stop because you have a Trillion dollar corporation with psychologists, marketers, and astroturfers who's job it is to reinforce the brand with persuasive techniques.

Today all of this stuff seems fine under the guise of 'free will'.

In the long term future this will look ignorant as we find out the brain merely responds to impulses.
I switched from Pragmata Pro to Iosevka Term Curly Slab a few years ago and I'm really happy with it. It's easy to read and I can fit a lot of code on one screen.
It also has useful automation for dealing with things like OAuth which would be annoying to handle manually (or to script) with curl.

In general I like Postman because of the ergonomics, not because it does something that more primordial tools can't. Makes debugging easier.
I'm trying to find something which explains it clearly (so I could be wrong), but I don't think you can give a person the ability to hail Uber rides without also giving them the ability to do microtransactions in a mobile game.

The former is highly useful for parents and from what I can tell very common, not just for independence, but also safety reasons.
Mastery of Python, in my opinion, is mastering "Pythonic" code, which incorporates readability as a fundamental tenet. In addition, the gigantic universe of not only the standard library but also numerous external libraries and tools, of which a master can leverage to undertake tasks both rapidly and efficiently.

So, to me, a Python zen master would not write incomprehensible code, but instead write readable code very quickly that effectively and efficiently solved the problem they are facing due to their comfort working inside the Python ecosystem.
Weekday (YC W21) Data Breach Exposes Candidates' Sensitive Info
Dear HackerNews community,

I bring to your attention a disturbing incident involving Weekday (YC W21), which has recently come to light. Shockingly, Weekday has been found guilty of profiling thousands of candidates without obtaining their consent, resulting in a massive breach of sensitive data.

Even more alarming is the complete disregard shown by Weekday towards the security of this data. Astonishingly, there were no adequate authentication or authorization measures in place, leaving all the valuable personally identifiable information (PII) vulnerable to unauthorized access.

For a full account of this alarming data breach, please follow this link: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7086961465370316800/

This raises a pertinent question: Does Y Combinator effectively educate its graduates on the proper handling of sensitive customer data? It is crucial that we address these concerns and demand accountability.

Let us come together as a community to shed light on this disconcerting breach and take a stand for data privacy and security.

One could probably argue that Bittorrent identified a more actionable economic incentive on the part of the swarm participants (wanting access to a very specific piece of media) rather than the more general objective in MojoNation of participating in a swarm that stored some set of arbitrary files that you or someone else may or may not come back to retrieve at some future point. Incentive engineering was considered for both systems, but only one of them hit upon a way to make the data pools self-sustaining.
For 20 years I have had the assumption that the best way of obtaining my favourite media is p2p. My assumption has been holding up pretty well
Each of the problems you describe will become a slew of startups and open source projects. Compared to the typical web stack things are really immature and it'll be interesting to see how everything shakes out and fills in.

As a sidenote, looks like langchain is working on some of this: https://www.langchain.com/langsmith.
Lost about $100 a while back because my 8-year-old didn't realize he was spending real money in some F2P game on an at-the-time unlocked PS5 (though I didn't realize it was so unlocked that you didn't need a password to make purchases—I do most on my phone, for all consoles, because it's much smoother than wrestling with on-console game stores).

Shame on me for not locking it sooner. Shame on every goddamn company that knows for a fact this is happening—probably a lot—and prefers to keep robbing people rather than do something about it (say, something ethical—like shut down their company). $100 doesn't mean much to me (like, I'm not well-off enough that I don't think a thing of spending $100, but unexpectedly losing that much every now and then has basically zero effect on my life) fortunately, but that could really screw over a lot of people, in a ruin-their-whole-month kind of way ("why do they even have a playstation to begin with if $100 can really mess them up?!" PS4s are pretty cheap, used, or may have been handed-down for free or very cheap from a better-off relative or friend, and have basically the same store and most of the same games—besides, a planned expense is very different from an unplanned one)
Casino Hosts, aka Casino Marketing Executives, do this too. Probably where they got the idea. Although my hosts have never been pushy. But by Vegas standards I'm a guppy, so I don't think they care to waste too much time on me. I bet things are different for the guys whose trips can make or break a quarter.

I'd only downvote this if you don't have the same opinion for street fentanyl and heroin.
Give it another few years and people will be saying the exact same thing about Insomnia and some new product on the market. The company behind Insomnia is also VC-funded, so this is almost inevitable.
Coerced choices are just as insidious as forced ones. All the more so when you consider all of the research and effort into the coercion.

This isn't even getting into "nanny state" policies. It is in the best interest of everyone to not go down a lot of these "free market" directions. Folks like to bitch about regulations, but everyone wants to have safe water. This is not much different. For another very real and recent example, consider the peril of allowing the free market to ignore earthquake building codes.
Root goal is to allow this game (https://www.fretboardfly.com/) to be played via a "real life" instrument
Can I ask- DC metro area?
Get a copy of Computer Networking: A Top-down Approach by Jim Kurose.

Read the first 500 pages until you get to the physical layer. Skim the back half of the book on funky protocols like Bluetooth, satellite and cell phones.
>Jung ventured so deep into his unconscious that he had conversations with figments of his imagination, who appeared — as in dreams — to be autonomous entities, possessing knowledge he did not consciously possess.

I learned this process from Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich. He recommends discussing important matters with wise people in your imagination (he used presidents and titans of industry).

I too have experienced "wisdom greater than my own" in this way. It seems that my hardware is being limited by my software (personality / self-concept).
If you have an infrared thermometer (they commonly have a pistol grip and laser pointer), take it outside at night and point it up.

A couple days ago in central Texas at 10 pm, the air temperature at ground level was 90 F, but the temperature above was 60 F. As a comparison, last year on the same date it was 100F at ground level and 83F in the sky. In winter, on a moderately cold day of 30 F, the sky temperature is as low as -50 F. This radiant temperature has a huge effect on the "Feels Like" temperature, especially if you're not in direct sunlight.

In other words, the Earth is always radiating heat away, and at night it radiates faster than it gets heated up.

I'd like to collect this data automatically to see how it changes over a season.
Ask HN: Parental Controls for Linux?
We're a Linux household, and as my kids have gotten older I've wanted them to learn to use a general-purpose computer. However, there are tools that parental controls can give that greatly assist. It can be as simple as a time-limit, or web filtering, or allowing certain apps, etc. I've looked for things and haven't had much success, but I can't imagine I'm the only person with this problem. Gnome has recently been starting a project[1] that looks really good, but it's still very early days.

Are there any existing options out there? What are other caretakers using? If you were desparate and considering starting to build your own tools, what tech stack would you look at, or where would you target the implementation?

Meanwhile integrating sufficient labeling to the manufacturing and testing process costs time and money in perpetuity.
I am so glad someone said this. This also shows nicely how async is wrong, not just that it's viral, but it's bad design because it forces code duplication.

Middleware/library writers that touch on anything that could be async (db, SPI, network etc.) will now have to write two versions of their API and duplicate most code.
I'm sure the HN audience already knows this, but Tubi is basically an ad-supported version of what Netflix was back in the late 2000s / early 2010s: a handful of marquee movies and TV shows with a ton of filler and diamonds in the rough. I'm finding myself watching Tubi more than Netflix these days.

There are several areas where we are seeing LLMs being deployed successfully in production. Often those are in comparatively boring areas, like NLP, classification and intent recognition, for which LLMs work quite well. So far most of this adoption is at companies with existing ML expertise in-house.

We haven’t seen any usage of the more exciting-looking demos of semi-autonomous agents in production yet, and probably won’t for some time.
I think it was possible to view the source of applets.
Its true. I've been installing nightly builds of pytorch for months specifically to access this fix. Have been getting 40it/s outputting a 512x512 image on my 4090. Prior to the fix would get around 19it/s.
What is incredibly well established is that g is incredibly predictive for many life outcomes from income to educational attainment to drug addiction. This is what IQ test measures.

The only thing disputed is whether g is the same thing as “intelligence”, and the only dispute there is from softer science fields because “intelligence” is a word without a precise definition and a lot of feelings and opinions wrapped up in it.
I find in person meetings more fatiguing than zoom meetings.

In a zoom meeting, when the topic turns for my particular focus I can refocus myself either by getting up (wireless headphones) stretching, maybe nipping out on the porch and getting some fresh air or taking care of some other task on my computer without disrupting the meeting in any way.

In an in-person meeting, these things would be seen as rude and/or distracting.

This is less of a concern in both cases in 1:1 type meetings where the conversation is generally focused or it's easier to call a break.
> Consumers want to not care about the details

You are partly correct. They do not care about details, but they want things as simple as possible, and decentralization makes that harder. See all people complaining (or don't understanding) about having to choose a mastodon or lemmy instance.

And copy+pasting usernames/post links that you have open, to search for it again on your own instance so you can reply... is not simplicity.

I can only guess as mass readers tried to migrate to bookwyrm, how many people would be complaining that they are trying to add a book a friend is reading, but it's not showing for them - because it's registered on another instance but they didn't realize

Or why they see different ratings, or less number of reviews than their friends
How do you regulate gambling for teenagers?
Well you’re not wrong.

Holy bad starting premise, Batman.
You can label it, sure. The question is should we outlaw it.
tbh, this is not my issue. My only complain with Goodreads is their pathetic UI. My own purpose of using Goodreads is tracking and the UI is so confusing that it takes me a while to figure out how to find the last page I had read and then update it.
CSS is so good these days you could just write it directly. I suspect that CSS bloat is not a real problem for most people. The value of Tailwind seems to be the ecosystem of styled components rather than Tailwind syntax itself.
Postman is one of those "so dumb why the hell didn't I think of it" ideas.
one I first started coming online, there was no "intellectual property law"

what there was: trademark law, copyright law, and patent law. but 3 turn to 1?
They're trying to get people to host/share their Postman data inside Postman's walled garden so that they're stickier.

And they're competing with free and good enough but they're making a suite out of the tools and slapping a GUI on it. They're owning making it all work similarly and owning the training for their tools and if you pick them for all they do, it will be consistent.

How many companies use Atlassian suite even though it really just bundles a bunch of functionality that was already free and good enough? (ROT13 spoiler: nyzbfg nyy bs gurz!)
It sure looks that way. There's less damage if an experiment goes awry in Canada.
Does that mean the return types are the same when you use async or not on the same function?
Personally, I've started buying blu-rays again.

I like a few of the streaming service originals, though. Those will be harder to get elsewhere, legally.

Vendr (YC19) Q2 SaaS Data
> terrifyingly unaligned

Honestly, if people think that a statistical language model is "terrifying" because it can verbalise the concept of a mass killing, they need to give their heads a wobble.

My text editor can be used to write "set off a nuclear weapon in a city, lol". Is Notepad++.exe terrifying? What about the Sum of All Fears? I could get some pointers from that. Is Tom Clancy unaligned? Am I terrifying because I wrote that sentence? I even understand how terrible nuking a city would be and I still wrote it down. I must be, like, super unaligned.
What it sadly is missing is the data. My first try, I found 2 out of 3 books in a series missing, and the first book was missing data. It looks like ImportBot [0] adds them somehow, but it’s not clear how this is done and how it could be fixed as there’s no information on the user page. As much as I’d like an open solution, if I have to add every other book I read to the database first, that will make me stop using it quickly.

Set up store on device before kids, or when they're very young and not gaming. Do not set require-password because putting it in with a controller for every single should-be-locked-to-kids action is very slow and annoying. Forget to change that when the kids start messing with the device.
A balaclava and a gun is also fairly cheap in the grand scheme of things and you can get more than movies out of that.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare piracy to legal ways of enjoying content.
So then should we also get rid of terms like “bugs in code”, “viruses” as it relates to computers, etc?

In a technical forum, most people have the domain specific knowledge and the “well actually” is not actually needed.
I respect the man but it sucks that his vision is only available to a small % of the population. I’d have to fly to a different country to get access to an IMAX 70mm
The ingame rewards are real only until the game goes dark, your device is no longer supported, or their servers shut down and suddenly you're left with nothing. At least real life gambling can leave you with something tangible.
Nice. But why? What does a home user do with this?

The only thing I can think of is to store 4k video --- a lot of which probably isn't legal.
No, the earth is not a black-body. As your link says:

> Of particular importance, although planets and stars (including the Earth and Sun) are neither in thermal equilibrium with their surroundings nor perfect black bodies, black-body radiation is still a good first approximation for the energy they emit.
Well, they have the organizational maturity to accommodate enterprise customers, and in contrast to much of this subthread, they don't say things like "just use curl".
For both keyboard and guitar finger movements can be very subtle and therefore difficult to discriminate. Probably easier if your camera can be mounted to give top-down view of your fingers while playing the keyboard. Probably much harder on guitar since getting a good view of how the fret is fingered is hard. Fingers may also hover over strings or lightly press strings to mute them.
>> Regarding the Stinger Missile Defense System the US provided Ukraine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIM-92_Stinger, it is capable of carrying nuclear warheads that could hit Moscow in single digit minutes from the Ukrainian border.

I see from your link that Stinger is a light shoulder-fired weapon that has a warhead of 3 kg and range of 8 km. How should that carry a nuclear warhead to Moscow?
Definitely different countries in my mind, just because of the accent when speaking English. Norwegians have a pleasant accent, but it gets harder to understand as it goes west. The Finns I have met are really hard to understand.
People think that the laws make the society, not the other way around. They want people to live THEIR way, and they see the force of government as the fastest route to obedience.
