I'm on Android so don't think Apple maps is an option.

As for organic maps, I tried it a while ago and it gave me some rather annoying directions. Maybe they've improved their route finding algorithm since then but I'm not feeling motivated to try it again just yet.
> of Java is how verbose and full of boilerplate it is.

yes, new SimpleLang can have lessons learned during last 20 years implemented, as in example from another commenter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37068380

Currently, for a given task, Java usually have 5 legacy deprecated ways to solve, and two more in newish Java versions, and dev needs to keep all of them in memory to be able to read and understand other's code.

> As for there now being multiple ways to write the same thing, this seems like something that could be easily linted into consistency.

that's if you don't work with any legacy systems and 3p libraries and never switch projects/jobs

article gets it wrong and sounds like a WorldCoin press release in the first sentence:

"The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has cautioned Kenyans against sharing their details with WorldCoin, a financial public utility that allows the public to easily access digital currencies without the need for a third party to facilitate the transactions."
Thank you. I missed this!
"common" seems erroneously high there. For any given household with a stay at home parent, the working parent's lifetime risk of dying in a car accident is less than 1 in 100. The risk that they'll do it in the years working to provide for the household is likely less than 1 in 200. Meanwhile, the risk to divorce is around 2 orders of magnitude higher. (I'd agree that "divorce is common"; something that happens about 1% as often, I don't think of is common.)

Every Canadian hates it when someone sends them a UPS ground package internationally without taxes/duties prepaid.
I didn't say it wasn't. I said it's an objectively poor solution by any measure, and a distraction from the development of actual solutions.

Ah so that's why my homepage is empty for a few days now. What a shame, I already mostly stopped using youtube because of the insane amount of ads they display, which is way more than what I used to have on TV back when I still watched it.

My homepage used to display new videos from the channels I subscribed to and it was literally the only reason I bothered visiting youtube
Detect if the extension downloads and executes arbitrary code, and ban it if it does. That should be just as easy to detect as detecting that the code does something bad directly. In fact, the way extension policing works is (afaik) completely reactive: if someone reports that an extension is doing something bad, then the extension/the developer thereof is banned. No/minimal policing is done at the time of publishing. The exact same policy applies unchanged to extensions that download malicious code instead of packaging it directly: wait until someone complains about the malicious code, ban the extension for having malicious code.

Have a conversation with the AI about the PC you want, and challenge it on things like "can I see the equivalent PC but with AMD instead of Intel" and things like that. I think that would have extremely good value. And for prices, you might be better off scraping amazon (or whatever site makes the most sense), instead of whatever stale data you have. Prices for PC parts fluctuate so much that I don't know that it make sense to try and store/cache it locally.
Java's structured concurrency approach to async code eventually may result in much simpler libraries compared to Kotlin's approach, which introduces function coloring with the "suspend" modifier.

"Between 2003 and 2006, 57 schools in Perth were enrolled into an infant simulator intervention designed to reduce teen pregnancy rates.

The program backfired and the girls exposed to the fake infants were more likely to get pregnant in the five years after the intervention."

yes. I've read some of low-level technical VAX/VMS and Solaris articles, and they were mostly comprehensible. Connection Machine stuff is impractical but _fascinating_ (despite being much farther from Linux than Urbit ever was)

Urbit is really an outlier, with jargon/innovation fraction far exceeding anything else I have seen.

By that logic airbearings wouldn't work because they add friction instead of removing it.
one of the problems with the sort of well-off person who staffs health departments who conduct these kinds of studies is that, in my experience, they are completely insulated from the kinds of environments in which these social ills occur. In their mind, teenage pregnancy is unthinkable and their interactions with children make them want less (this is a common sentiment I hear on reddit, for example). However, not everyone thinks that way. And realistically, this unfortunate gulf that has emerged between the scientific class and those they are attempting to help is the root of many terrible policy decisions.

From the article:

> Many mothers spoke of their love of babies, often heightened by experience caring for other children."

Believe it or not I have a job where I'm paid for, among other things my opinions. Demanding I show up and provide a service for free is not likely to be met affirmatively.

If you want my time, you're welcome to contract me, but I'm not cheap.

I get a lot out of these conversations here, it helps me understand consensus and challenge my own opinions, but this is strictly hobby.

> ... instant, cheap, worldwide payments with USDC.

USDC doesn't need a blockchain lol, if you just want a USD balance you can just open an account with Circle and move it around between accounts at Circle free of charge. Like PayPal has done forever.

They only have a blockchain because it was hip, and maybe because they're idealistic - but mostly because they're looking to avoid regulation. It's just regulatory arbitrage. For the use case you enumerate here, it's strictly not necessary.
Oh, I'm pretty sure someone(s) manages a massive GANTT chart over on the SpaceX side.
Author writes about types being applied for ergonomy, which is interesting. Types add static information that can be used by IDEs. But there are other reasons for using type systems: correctness and performance (unboxing, optimization)
I don't know of any language that has these types, i personally find them not so handy. What would e.g. happen if you mix both types?
If you want mod or clip functionality for a certain part of an algo, it is easy enough to make a function that does it, you can overload the + operator if you want the algo code to read or write more easily.
Also, in C it is simply modulo (straight what the CPU does) and in python there's simply no overflow, every int is an object that can be as big as needed. Both takes are consistent and rather straightforward to understand.
Someone (I think pg?) said that patterns are just insufficient language features, but the flip side applies too: you can apply a pattern in any language, but a feature is limited to what the language designers provide. Patterns you can learn once and write anywhere (for better or worse).
In manifest v2, downloading and executing arbitrary code is a feature.

What you're describing is the migration path from v2 to v3. "Detect if the extension downloads and executes arbitrary code, and ban it if it does" is isomorphic to "deprecate the eval arbitrary code permission, cease supporting it in the store, and provide an alternative declarative model to get some of the behavior back;" it's what Google is trying to do.
Checks out in my observations.

Jokes aside, the infant simulators used in the study could not possibly replicate the economic and emotional turmoil of being a working class single mom in 2023 United States. In this respect, the dudes might be even better simulators.

You'll probably be fine without it. If I'm interviewing someone and they have a Java 6 certification I'll just think that someone forced them to get it, but if they have 17 or newer it would be a big red flag unless they are straight out of uni and working at a consulting firm.
I applied to be an astronaut and that was only 5 or 6 rounds of interviews. Granted, you have a lot more invasive medical tests and being dunked upside down in swimming pools.
While I miss IntelliJ IDEA, I’ve found Visual Studio has mostly caught up for C# refactoring. If that’s not enough for your use-case, there’s always the Rider plug-in.
Plus, without deflector shield voodoo, a skinny tube design minimize your cross sectional area and how much debris you will impact.
And that "older Java" example itself is an alternative (added in Java 16, from looking it up) to what existed before.

if (obj instanceof Point) {
Point p = (Point) obj;
int x = p.x();
int y = p.y();
System.out.println(x + y);
}
It's crypto - quite clearly you don't know what its worth is or will be. That's the entire point.
I’d recommend going to a local meetup around something you’re interested in or think you might be interested in.

If you’re looking to make friends online, I think if you find a community for whatever you’re interested in or passionate about and ask yourself how could I help this community? even if it’s just being friendly and giving people advice on something, you understand that they don’t you can get to meet really interesting people and you can form longtime friendships with them.

Around 11 years ago I was working with some software in my job that I hadn’t used before and found quite frustrating in places, so I joined the official forum and started asking questions, over period period of time I became quite friendly with a few of the folks on there and to this day, I’m still really good friends with one - despite the fact, he’s across the other side of the world and more than twice my age (in fact, he’s now retired). I have a few other stories similar to that.
I remember that 15 years ago, many ATMs were running OS/2. Is this still the case?

I feel like this is not answering the spirit of their question. What is bad about Crypto which isn't some nth-order effect of Money?

- When a layperson is scammed out of their Crypto the problem is that they lost Money because they used Money to buy the Crypto. (Yes, given the current ecosystem it is easier for my grandmother to be convinced to transfer all of her Crypto such that she can't get it back but that's bad because she's losing Money.)

- People are incentivized to run machines which "mine" Crypto -- but otherwise do nothing externally useful while also causing other negative externalities such as carbon emissions -- because the Crypto can be sold for Money.
You’re not a crab, you’re the chef cooking the crabs. You might work for the restaurant owner, but your material interests aren’t aligned with those of the crabs.

The wages versus capital distinction overlooks the nature of modern businesses, where ownership is diffuse, and businesses are run by a vast class of skilled professionals. For example, Tim Cook owns just 0.02% of Apple stock, but he runs the company. Many executives below him have tremendous power. Individual engineers can have a major impact on the direction of the whole business. Most importantly, the executive roles are typically filled from that same class of people.

These people aren’t Steve Jobs in terms of their ownership interest in the company, but they’re not Apple Store workers either. Their self interest is fundamentally more aligned with those of the capitalists than with the interests of labor.

There’s NSubstitute. Haven’t used it personally but I’ve read good things about. I will have to look into at work as well since we’re also using Moq.
It wasn't "crypto" per se that enabled those donations, since those donations could have been just as easily sent and received without crypto, ergo it can't be said that that outcome is attributable to crypto.

FedEx and DHL does this crap too.

A lot of the fee is probably brokerage fees rather than the actual taxes.

That's crazy. A lot of the firefighters I see are uh, fairly big people. The test should be the physical exam.
I had a similar, but inverse experience - was brought in for an all-day interview, and after half a day both they and I realized that I wasn't going to be a good fit, so they let me go.

No hard feelings on my end; I was out of my depth at the time, and knew it, and was glad I wasn't going to have to waste the rest of my day and theirs.
Could be an option, but we take high audio quality as a point of pride and encode in Opus 128k by default. Audio doesn't only include speech but also any sound effects, media present in-world, etc.

But that might be an interesting experiment. Right now the low cpu usage/high quality/faily high bandwidth usage category is something we're looking to have an option for.
The title of the study is very neutral, as you'd expect from the Lancet, but if I were a reporter I'd headline my piece "Baby simulator makes teenage girls have actual babies". If I were running a program like this in a high school I'd immediately terminate it.
You know you don't have to use Urbit to get a "personal server", right? You can get a small VM, install Linux or BSD on it (whatever floats your boat), set up email, web server, mastodon instance...

this would be a true "personal server", and it will achieve much more than Urbit ever could.. except insane jargon at least...

She mentioned demographics and one aspect of that was skin color. You are the one focused on race.
You're right, it turns out to be a gradient descent function adapted from numeric.js. Seems like a long way to go to interpolate mouse events into a range of values. Still suffers from gimbal lock in the cube demo. I guess since it doesn't allow you to manage the draw routine, you couldn't use quaternion to Euler conversion. I'm not sure I see the purpose of it. But what do I know, I don't have a stem degree.
I need a new car and really want to buy an EV, but having been shopping around for a while it’s pretty clear that everyone is playing catch up to Tesla.

Unfortunately even with my tech salary a model 3 or Y is roughly twice what I am willing to spend on a car.

I was excited about the upcoming Equinox EV, but now that Chevy is going NACS in 2025 it seems silly to buy a model that’s outdated before it’s even delivered.

I would have grabbed a Bolt but the charging time is atrocious. It would be impossible to ever take it on a longer trip even with L3 charging.

I really like the feel of the Niro, but without the tax credit it just doesn’t make financial sense because it’s nearly the same price as the Tesla but with FWD and worse specs.
Had that research being something valuable, you would have a point, but as of now crypto just led to more crypto. That's not a benefit.
With no opinion on whether this is a good thing or not, the blockchain as described by the original author(s) does allow (as long as the hash function holds up and there's financial incentive to crunch the numbers) proof of public delivery of a message, thus negating the need for notaries.
Still, this is not a first-class citizen in the Kotlin space, even-though you would assume it to be the case. Introducing such custom classes is always a little icky when working in a team.
It's almost as if governments are actually serving their constituencies...

Something that large corporations (or otherwise masquerading as NGOs) will most certainly never do unless it magically aligns with making them filthy rich in the process.
People might prefer not to single out the company even if they only interviewed at one.

Just a guess, though.
Apart from being a stretch, this is an incredibly faint win.
There is a lot of power in suggestion. If you get a bunch of high school students together and really start talking to them about suicide, how they shouldn't commit suicide, how to identify suicidal thoughts, etc. would it be surprising to have a higher risk of suicide in that group than a control group.

I'd assume something like having a baby would have an even stronger tendency to do that.
Teams is a better webex but it's not a better Slack. It's UX/UI is full of tiny annoyances, bugs and stupid decisions and if you find these things frustrating it makes using it for chat a chore at best. I'm sure internal developers opinions weren't even considered by whatever lifeless corporate IT group sitting in Ubisoft HQ.

The only reason this keeps happening is because we have so thoroughly declawed regulators that Microsoft feels free to engage in monopolistic behavior again. They don't have to compete on quality or features and only need to make the product good enough to check some feature boxes so that some bean counter can claim it does everything Slack can but it's "free" (read: bundled with a M365 plan we're already paying for).
Bad. Antithetical to both Google's original ideals and the early 'netzien goals.

I would not have been able to donate to Wikileaks by any other method than the one I used; Visa and MC had already voluntarily sanctioned/frozen them before anyone was charged with any crime.

I am also aware of people inside Russia who recently donated to the Ukranian war effort. This again seems to be otherwise an impossibility.

Your claim seems to me to be incorrect.

It's okay to not like crypto or to think that it's overall a net bad thing; it's not okay to spread factual inaccuracies. It has 100% enabled things that were not possible before. That's a fact, not an opinion.
