> If you think calculus is not important to software development than you are not bothering to look. Just a few examples:

Half of what you listed isn't really Calculus at all: for comparison my highschool taught functions, continuous vs discontinuous, rates of change, and topographic maps in Math classes which happened years before taking Calculus. Then the Calc class was like 70% memorizing "whats the integral of cosecant?", was which I think we should be able to agree is absurdly useless even for people who actively work in a math-heavy field.

I suspect this form of calculus is what people are responding to when they say calc is useless; they should be teaching the things you're saying (including how to think about functions) and e.g. introducing Euler's method getting into what happens when your step size become arbitrarily small are all useful things to a broader set of people, but the actual implementation of Calculus classes in practice is instead entirely useless trivia that provides almost no insights if you wanted to do any of the things in your comment.
I couldn't get around this paywall, but the coverage on Fox describes what was in the WSJ report:

> Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., are set to introduce the legislation in the Senate. It would prohibit those affected from owning stocks in individual companies, even through a blind trust, the Wall. Street Journal reported Wednesday.

"No individual stocks, period" seems like a fairly reasonable restriction.

System defaults can be ugly sometimes. Sometimes user might set their default font to something like Comic Sans or Papyrus accidentally or not and have no clue how to fix it. Users are really, really dumb. I wouldn't like my designed website to look like trash because the user wants to bring their ugly font, I want it to be consistently classic book sans-serif. Any time of the day I'd choose Segoe UI over Arial or god forbid Verdana. Hence that line and https://systemfontstack.com/ exist. The latter one is, by the way, always in my toolkit.

I wrote an XSLT stylesheet that would turn any page into a pretty-printed source view of the HTML just by including it via the <?xml-stylesheet?> tag. That was during the years I worked at a publishing company that stored, generated and edited everything via a combination of XML, XSLT, XPath, XInclude and XQuery, and now I'm working somewhere else that generates documents I do miss the flexibility of that combination... unfortunately it's hard to sell anything XML-related to people who've never seen it used effectively.

Ask HN: My child was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. What to do?
My 3 year old kid was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. She has trouble with transitions, has meltdowns and gets overwhelmed in public places like stores. Grabs and wants to cling on us and needs constant attention. Also very picky eater and has trouble falling asleep.

What can I do ? Should I try to minimize clutter and reduce screen time? Has anyone experienced it themselves or have anyone close they dealt with? What are some workarounds to make parenting easier and keeping my sanity while working a high pressure job? I feel very tired and can barely get any work done ( work from home) .

I recently received a coveted job offer as an engineering manager but I am so exhausted that I am planning to turn it down and stay an IC to concentrate helping my kid.

I freakin' love Iosevka. Most monospace fonts are kind of boring and look like variants of IBM Letter Gothic. The bitmap fonts from back in the day had character, so I often use those for terminals but they don't fit well in graphical IDEs.

Telegram is based in UAE, a country famous for Totok, a social network designed to spy on you.

The UAE is an absolute monarchy, and the law is a little more openly a tool if the state than in the west. A company with legal challenges exists there because the state wants it to.

The UAE looks unaligned but in a real way it is part of a Chinese Russian axis when it comes to this sort of thing. For example totok was based on Chinese spyware.

Your logic seems to imply that any given "diet" leads to either increasing or decreasing weight.

If you were overweight but stable, a temporary restriction followed by a return to the original diet would suffice, right?

That's where this article is helpful, as it explains how (and how much) weight gain can be expected when you end the temporary restrictions.

<b>bold</b>
is a little simpler than
<div class=“b”>bold</b>

Of course in this example, semantic HTML makes sense. How do you compose styles? Do you have a semantic element for every CSS property and every combination of every CSS property? Utility frameworks are used for much more than making text bold. The idea is to write as little CSS as possible, which reduces CSS bloat, collisions, specificity hell etc.

> More generally you really ought to be able to pull some HTML out of page A and transcode it into page B and that means copying the styles and a lack of namespaces for id(s) and class(es) gets in the way of that.

That is quite literally what tools such as tachyons/tailwind solve.

I don’t really know what this means. But if you’re using React, you can leverage CSS Modules or one of the many CSS-in-JS frameworks. Both of these approaches solve your issue with namespacing.

>> To less of a degree, when applying for law enforcement jobs, family members and sometimes friends have to surrender a lot of personal data.

I tried to say no, but at the end of the day they're holding their jobs hostage until I comply. Hate it.

> What, the cops are actually doing at least something to weed out the bad apples now?

How is forcing a friend or family member to surrender their own PII have anything to do about "weed[ing] out the bad apples"?

My intuition is that those kinds of background checks have been going on for a long time, and have been focused on stuff like preventing infiltration by organized crime rather than specifically rooting out police brutality.

We tried to raise this with Calendly but they refused the request.
Their answer: "Thank you for reaching out to Calendly! We've found that manual confirmation of each appointment only increases the steps it takes to schedule. Not having to confirm/deny/reschedule a booking eliminates the email ping pong of scheduling!"

Which totally misses the point.

Title: "GPT-4 is getting worse over time, not better"

Paper title: "How Is ChatGPT’s Behavior Changing over Time?"

Paper Abstract: "GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are the two most widely used large language model (LLM) services."

When are people gonna realize that GPT-4/3.5 != ChatGPT

As far as I can tell, the paper doesn't explain the methodology either, so hard to know if they're actually using "raw" GPT-4 or GPT-4 via ChatGPT...

I hoped that eventually people would realize they are vastly different, and your experience/results with be vastly different depending on which you use too. But that hope is slowly fading away, and OpenAI isn't exactly seeming to want to help resolve the confusion either.

> Stay away from Flask and all of its derivations. That framework is badly designed. Learn from Django instead.

I couldn’t of agree more. I’m a Python veteran, but hasn’t done web dev before a few years ago. I picked Flask for one of our web apps and now very much regret it. It feels like it fights a lot of the direction modern python is going. It’s also encumbered by an ecosystem of bloated and under-maintained extensions that only make it harder to use.

Regarding poetry for packaging, I’m 50/50 on it. The product is interesting, but I find myself almost always reverting to a structure where I have requirements managed by pip-compile. It just feels a lot cleaner. I also had a few unpleasant interactions with the poetry devs with regard of GitHub issues, which makes it easier to obviate on a personal level.
Oh very cool, will try it out.
> Meta did not exist (and no other similar company filled the same niche), the world would be better by most measurements.

Why would a company filling a similar niche be better for the world? I'm not asking for proof, just for reasoning beyond wishful thinking.
Well abuse is human nature.

But if they're making say ~2M/yr then there's very little reason to go lenient on a company so that they'll give you a retirement job there afterwards. It also means that if somebody wants to bribe you then the bribe has to be rather large as you're both risking that salary and you also certainly don't need that bribe.
(Although I do also think the government should stop footing the bill for a lot of the stuff the congress critters do and if you want to spend 1/2 your presidency golfing that comes at your own expense).

The salaries of government people has filter down affects though as federal employees cannot make more than the vice president (~261,400).
>My step mom is in her 60s, a prolific reader, member of two book clubs and most of her friends are readers. She would never think about joining Bookwyrm because the value prop makes no sense to her.

A free site to discuss books with others doesn't make sense to her? The first line on their website says "BookWyrm is a social network for tracking your reading, talking about books, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next." Sounds like that might be your step mom's jam.

>Why does anyone care about federated? (I’m talking normal people here.) Mastodon, Pleroma? What are those? Who cares? Why? (Again, talking as normal people here, the kind of people you’d talk to waiting in line for a Southwest Airlines flight to Orlando.)

I agree why would she care about any of those things - she's just signing up to a site to talk about books. You're the one focusing on those things not her. I honestly struggle to follow these complaints from tech-oriented folks on tech-oriented websites tying to say that some phantom person who isn't tech oriented will just be deeply lost.

You talk about products based on the audience - here on Hacker News it makes sense to talk about the fact that this is federated and activitypub based, at your step moms book club you'd just talk about the fact that it's a social site for books.
The millions it takes to train OpenAI models is given by people who would like to get it back + some profits. Once the VCs start forcing the roadmap onto the employees, thats when customers get screwed over.

I used/worked on a similar async model at FB long before I'd ever touched node. Threads are not really solving the same problem as async.

Imagine you are building the FB newsfeed. You have 10 stories and want to fetch them as quickly as possible. The stories are all different types and each refers to other data: profile info, privacy, comments (which depend its own profile fetch), likes, etc.

So you have this tree of dependent data fetches, how do you minimize the time waiting? You could walk the tree node-by-node, but that balloons your wait time. So you kick each bit of work off to a new thread and wait for it to be done. How do you wait for it? Lots of options of course, but they all end up looking like an ad-hoc implementation of async. Which is fine! But if you have a large codebase where a large fraction of code is dealing with this stuff you pretty soon want the runtime to handle this. And if you are mixing code written by others you really want everyone to use the same mechanism.

So the value of async isn't really in the specific implementation choices, it's that it lets you represent this tree in a consistent way. This is less about the number of requests per second, and more about how much code you have to deal with; plenty of places have low RPS but have accumulated lots and lots of code.

Second, threads have their own costs even ignoring performance. Arguably a big reason PHP/Hack worked so well for FB is that each request was single-threaded and started with a clean state; there's whole universes of bugs that are avoided in this model. And node doesn't have threads because JS doesn't have threads, microcontrollers may not have threads, etc.
The default in Outlook when creating a meeting is to add a Teams meeting link. You can turn it off in settings (maybe for the whole org?).
Is there a breakdown by network type? e.g. Cellular Network, VPS Provider, Home ISP, IoT, etc... The reason I ask is that last numbers I saw somewhere were thrown off by VPS providers and cellular providers. Cellular had no choice but to go IPv6 due to sheer numbers of users. VPS was easy due to the ephemeral nature of VM's. People could slowly adopt it at their own rate.
This article seems to be hoping people will ignore differences between the two pandemics even though we just lived through one of them:

* Covid killed far more people. One estimate for global deaths for the 1957 flu is 1.1 million—around the number of deaths from COVID-19 in the U.S. alone

* COVID-19 hospitalized more people. Apparently, the 1957 flu did not overburden hospitals. Even with efforts to “flatten the curve,” COVID-19 did.

* COVID-19 is a longer illness. While some people recover in 3-5 days (the article’s estimate for the 1957 flu), 5 days is the minimum isolation period and longer recoveries (not even factoring in Long COVID) are common.

* The vaccine was available earlier in the pandemic’s course, at least in the U.S. According to a Smithsonian article [0], a vaccine researcher was able to convince companies to start manufacturing a vaccine before it became widespread in the U.S.

It also ignores the fact that despite not locking down in 1957, the U.S. went into a recession anyway.

This is the case with all of the management led (as opposed to technology led) clients I’ve worked with over the past 2-3 years. Pretty much everyone hates teams with a passion - even many of the managers now, but they’re forced to use it because the business gets it bundled with office365. Thankfully all of the technical teams I’ve worked with only use it for video calls and use Slack (not that it’s perfect) for all chat, bots and huddles.
