The most wealthy fly on private jets. But there are still plenty of wealthy and powerful people who fly commercial

Look at it this way, if you can afford to donate $6,600 to a house candidate every two years (current max donations for primary and general election for a single candidate), you're absolutely wealthy enough to get a member of the house of representatives to listen to you and take your concerns seriously (at least for a brief period during the election cycles).

You're also not nearly wealthy enough to be flying private, but you are probably wealthy enough to be paying for CLEAR, TSA Pre-Check, or another option to reduce the hassle of security lines.

I think this one might be dumb too which is why I’m asking.
Expecting a best effort archive of data the platform still has archived is one thing, but expecting it to be complete and portable to a totally different service isn't realistic, especially when Twitter never claimed to support any protocols similar to WebMentions or ActivityPub.
This headline is deceptive: it starts with "X to Close". When I first read this, I thought this means that X (formerly Twitter) was closing. Then my urge to cheer loudly was suddenly quashed when I read the rest of the headline.
What is cached though? DNS? IP routes to the Debian mirrors?

I ran it three more times. Plain install was 50s 48s 47s; eatmydata was 46s 46s 46s.

Installing build-essential probably does enough non-dpkg IO to account for the difference (install scripts etc, for example when libc changes and the system scans for running daemons) but it isn’t much and the delta may well be statistically insignificant.
I was curious how the game was built so I recorded this replay. Fun to see how it's using Supabase for the global state.

No they don't. No single person on this planet wants this. What they want is to be allowed to buy/stream/consume stuff with as little friction as possible.

I'm not being obtuse.

The biggest problem with discord bots is that you need a completely different kind of account to have a bot, and even worse that account can't join servers normally. You're not allowed to run a logger on your own personal account.

Because of that, IRC gives better results in many scenarios. Discord is not equal or better in all cases. If I don't set up a special arrangement with the moderators or break the ToS, all my channel messages are vulnerable to being deleted forever on a moment's notice. And if I get locked out of my account I lose all past private messages.

Yeah, from what I understand 400 means "fix it at the client's end" and 500 means "fix it at the server's end" which seems to be what the RFC thinks, too:

these same arguments about gay people
back in the 80s.

I don't think so. Some but not all.

There's nothing inherent about being gay that prevents healthy mutual interpersonal relationships.

Many people on the autism spectrum have wonderful and fulfilling interpersonal relationships (I suspect I am one of these, in fact) but autism can negatively affect many of the building blocks (empathy, etc) of interpersonal relationships.
That seems like a pretty trivial thing to implement. Why not do it yourself?

Strawman argument sometimes is used to draw out a point. You can not confidently say your security solution is infabiable and nor should you. The article is just a good runbook of things and less a guide. But if you are working on the cloud you shouldn't go using old management methods like they belong in your network.

You would not believe how many companies are dependent on patching through users through VPNs in order to access remote hosts. I mean some have to because of no other solutions like managing their own on-prem. I kind of would be interested in AWS access management capable of being implemented within an on-prem.

I'd expect this kind of regulation to kill off many of the popular web apps once and for all. The would also be open questions like whether the API must be free to use, could have some legal freemium model, and how a "fair" price would be determined.

Companies aren't going to want to be forced to provide a fully functional API. Not only would that mean a large amount of extra cost to build, test, and maintain but they are also more open to issues from hacks and bots. It's be much easier to kill their web app and tell everyone to use a mobile app instead.
You know how you can pay for stuff at stores with your phone? That didn't just magically happen. It wasn't just "the technology got better" or whatever you tell yourself.

The Hastert Rule in the 90's heralded a new kind of politics where allegiance to & helping the party became more important than helping America. "Never call a vote unless your side would pass it themselves", became the bleak dark worst form. If America suffered, that was fine, so long as the party won. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastert_Rule

What a sad emboldened new era that was. It was fueled by bold new levels of manufactured consent & spin doctoring. And the result of this ungamesmenly Hastertian dark-realpolitick has been a near collapse of any bipartisanship, and a decay of our union.
It's so so.

I think its popularity from the past is due to the wacky dreams you can have on it via dental fillings or drinking ionic gold. Although it has an antimicrobial effect which perhaps explains some of its use in dentistry, it will increase nitric oxide by 5x and studies suggest an increased risk of long term immune system impairment.

But if "it can be hammered to be thinner than a wavelength of visible light" can it be seen from all angles and can the light waves be seen moving through it like the semi metal ZrSiSe?
The PS1 system UI (crazy what it had for its time - memory manager for memory cards and a pretty featureful CD player) indeed used O for back.

+1 to this, and let me elaborate: Tiny Combat Arena focuses on a (somewhat fictional) version of the Harrier Jump Jet and opponents from around that era. Attractive low-poly graphics -- and I do mean attractive -- very good performance and the right balance between arcade and flightsim. There is a flight model to the game, and some weapons systems get simulated in simplified form.

Do you remember the flightsims of yore, like F-117? This is it, only with better graphics and flight.

I tend to have pretty good impulse control, aside from reading and wanting to eat certain foods. And being aware of that makes it frustrating when I see people engage in harmful or negative behaviours such as ordering from Doordash and paying twice as much as a steak dinner for a basic burger.

It seems so easy to me personally to refrain from doing so many of these things, and that makes it that much more apparent to me how many systems in modern life are so heavily exploitative of and designed to destroy impulse control. A lot of people had their willpower eroded over time and never noticed, and because of that they see nothing is wrong. It's not a great thing to witness actual fully grown adults being just as impulsive as their five year old children.
It is not a wise use of limited resources when we aim to build a society that serves all. A human without access to basic civilization is not an "error mode." They are a person that we need to help.

Human civilization doesn't have to be a world where those with means get to enjoy consumption while those without starve. We have the resources to do better by everyone, not only the abled.
I have a feeling that these ad-hoc bars for AI to clear are extremely similar to Plato's definition of a human ("a featherless biped"), in that they look for what features a human/intelligence has, but don't incorporate the flip-side.

Hence the large amount of Diogenian refutations; including plucked chickens, chess computers, visual classifiers, generative AIs, LLMs, and now, I guess, proof generators (which already exist in some form or another) that could loudly proclaim "behold, a human!".

Unless we rigidly define what intelligence actually is, how can we even hope to correctly identify one?

How about not. It's not sour grapes that people prefer walking, and even if you had a government program to give everyone a car, what then? Congratulations, you've just made more traffic. Car's don't scale. They are super convenient and I will admit to having one (sometimes two!). But being unable to afford one doesn't deal with what to do when it breaks down, or gets stolen, or is towed, or gets clamped for unpaid parking tickets. There is no dignity in having a shitbox car that's 20 years old and falling apart and is just threatening to break down on you.
yes i do this too however my usecase is slightly different than other commenters so let me share that. It helps me in prioritizing the content that i am really interested to see by putting the effort to open it in a new private window. i fall for click bait and click on the links and when i find that it is not visible in js disabled i mostly close them unless i really want to see it so it acts like a first level filter.
Increasing productivity brought is more complex goods, and they take longer to build. Hence, the throughput didn’t increase as much.

Also some industries can barely keep up. We have seen this during the pandemic. “Chip crisis” is a great example.
So they asked this before suing, and since that includes Ethereum it was probably them reaching as far as they possibly could rather than being on firm grounds.
Great question. A good abstraction can offer an order of magnitude improvement in some dimension, whether that be clarity, speed, or the like. A bad abstraction trades a lot of one dimension for a little of another. In this case, I'll happily take an order of magnitude improvement in understandability, debuggability, extensibility, and a lower learning curve over a crappy ORM or DSL that saves me the effort of writing ~30 LOC; heck even ~5k LOC. If we get farther than that, we can talk. And even then, the solution is probably not going to be an ORM or a DSL.
>The difference being, probably the vast majority of humans _could_ publish in a journal if they devoted their life to it 100%.

I believe that, yes. That's why I said "realistically", because of course the vast majority of humans currently in existence actually cannot in a reasonable timeframe (keep in mind ChatGPT has been around for 8 months), no matter how much you incentivise them. And maybe if there were 7 billion AIs on the planet, 0.00174533469% of them could produce a publishable paper on mathematical theory throughout an average 60-80 years of life - I don't believe it, but we have nowhere near enough knowledge about current AI systems to say for sure right now.

My point isn't that an AI couldn't generate a novel mathematical proof - eventually I'm certain one could, and we should definitely work towards it. My point is that it is absolutely absurd to say that an AI isn't intelligent if it can't generate a novel mathematical proof, because if that standard was applied to humans it would mean 99.9982546653% of us aren't intelligent.
OpenBSD don't even have security advisories like most other distros have. [1]

So I'd argue it's impossible to build a correct threat model if all your vulnerabilities are expressed on code-level, rather than on "what software" or "what packages" are affected by it.

To be fair, if you use CL in a similarly dynamic way as Python (don't compile anything, don't add any declarations etc) it won't be that much faster. You'll get some boost out of the stdlib stuff being compiled already, but otherwise it will incur similar performance penalties.
Well, as the parent poster mentioned, interest on the savings are not taken into account. Furthermore, the inflation in the price of the Starbucks coffee is also not taken into account. So, seems like the logic/reasoning still stands.

> Ultimately we are all paid to solve the problems the business needs solved, even if the solution is boring and not 'exciting' or 'cutting edge' tech (which is often). The best people finds excitement and challenge in almost any work and are self-motivated.

I think the best managers are able to find relevant challenges/projects for their reports interests. Everything you're saying says to me, that you depend on
in "good employees" is broadly something I see as being an option in "all employees". And I see it as a failing of me, as a manager, if I can't bridge that gap for all of my reports.

> Are you a manager? you very much should be able to change what they do if you are. If project x comes along with twice the value of the current project someone is working on, you very much should be able to preempt what someone is working on.

Yes, I am a manager. I can absolutely try and sell people on a new project. I can't make them work on it. When I was an IC, I ultimately worked on what I thought was most important, and would slowly move to projects that people asked me to work on, (but I didn't want to work on). I was an effective IC, so people couldn't complain. Don't see any reason that wouldn't hold true for the ICs that I work with, now that I'm a manager.

> I mean, delegation and ownership are fine as a mechanism to boost engagement and career growth, but you can't delegate everything (otherwise what are you doing again?). Also, what's up with the "if they think" wording here. Are they making the decision or not, are you tricking them into thinking they're making the decision?

Did you read the article? At least in engineering, if you think you're going to make the decisions just because "you're the manager", then I think you're managing backwards. If I need to make a decision, I'm in charge of convincing people it's the right decision. But I also have to listen to those people when they tell me their concerns, and change course if their concerns are reasonable.

It sounds to me, if you're a manager, that you're only an effective manager for people who are already succesful. I think the thing that makes someone a good manager, is that they can make anyone effective. Everyone can grow and flourish under you.

I think JSON [tree] data [with no fixed field for unique identifier, and no fkey referencing] is wrong. The lack of a proper type system+schema for data is wrong. The need for server-side query management makes any API supremely rigid.

Show HN: Extract code from image snippets with Code OCR App
Hi folks, ever found an interesting code snippet online and ended up manually typing it all out? Frustrating indeed. So I decided to make the Code OCR App. You can now extract the code from any image snippet with just three clicks.
1- Upload your desired file
2- Crop and adjust the image to include only the desired text portion.
3- Once extracted, simply copy and start using in your project right away!

The text extraction is currently powered by tesseract.js so there might be inaccuracies in the extracted text. There are few other limitations as well which I am working on for a fix.

Check out the app and do let me know of your thoughts. Your feedbacks are highly appreciated.

I dont really partake in programming "wars", but the idea of launching a set of separate processes instead of separate threads to do a bunch of IOs has always seem to be weird to me. Yes, I have built software using Python. Yes, I have done things as you suggest. Now I use asyncio, since the syntax has matured and I finally understand coroutines, runners, tasks etc. Lets see where the GIL less Python takes us.
Then go. Cannot beat it's speed, ease of use, productivity compared to ruby or python.
