So are companies required to check all religious holidays from all people that could reasonably attend and schedule major company events around them? I've heard pastafarians have a lot of special days.

I thought it’d be lower level as it’s still very abstract and more of an operating systems guide than a guide on how CPUs physically run programs. Like how a string of current representing 1s and 0s allows the CPU to do certain things, etc.

Then there's this - When a woman went to the hospital for help with suicidal ideation, a clinician told her the waits to see a psychiatrist are long, "the system is broken", and "have you considered [assisted suicide?]...MAID would be a more “comfortable” process during which she would be given sedating benzodiazepines among other drugs."

She will be able to see a psychiatrist "when one is available in the fall."

My aunt had celiac. She would have some real problems if she accidentally ate the wrong things. My mom tested negative for celiac several times, but she would have the same problems if she ate the same wrong things as my aunt. A more distant relative (child of a cousin or something) developed Crohn's disease (I think) and basically had similar problems as my mom and aunt if she ate similar things.

While I do think that previous posts are not wrong in that there is too much of a fad in blaming everything on gluten by people who probably aren't sensitive, we should not be dismissive of people just because some people might be mistaken. Plenty of people appear to have real problems, which, like you say, aren't always straight forward to diagnose.
How "edgy" can real PostgreSQL be? Seems to me that this is all in lieu of using real PostgreSQL replication, on the basis that real Postgres is too heavy / complex to run on the edge. Can a true PostgreSQL replica be configured in a light weight way to serve a similar purpose?
Would be cool if there were an easy way to add primitives to Java. I would like a 128-bit integer that the JVM could handle with `add` + `adc` and friends. If I could extend my JVM trivially by linking in a `.so` that enabled it to handle the primitive it would be pretty sick. I imagine that's not really that easy to do, but a nice wide primitive that could be used for fixed point arithmetic would be nice to have.
I actually almost exclusively use mine outside now. I sit outside on my deck with my cat lol. It’s a nice little after work treat of reading some blogs on lynx with a beer and a cat.

There is certain content that isn't protected by Section 230 or DMCA safe harbor, but it is pretty limited.

1. People post defamatory stuff on social media sites all the time. That's a civil matter. People can sue the poster over such things, but not the site. See "Zeran v. America Online, Inc."
2. CSAM is illegal, but people have posted it on Twitter, and they're still around.
3. I'd imagine that calling for a general strike is protected by 1A.
4. Terrorist propaganda can be posted by a US citizen, as "incitement to terrorism" is protected by 1A. You just can't provide material assistance to a foreign terrorist organization.
5. There's actually a law on the books supposedly banning this, but I don't see how it's enforceable.
Purely speculating, Wikipedia has a huge number of inbound links (likely many more than CNet or even than more popular sites) which crawler allocation might be proportionate to. Even if it only crawled pages that had a specific link from an external site, that would be enough for Google to get pretty good coverage of Wikipedia.
Organized religions and groups designated as cults are patently not the same. There are properties inherent to major religions that enable their followers to create socially mature and stable communities, where the members of these communities can attain self-actualization in some manner even if they're not adherents. I am aware of the problems that these major religions have (on a personal level as well), but history provides plenty of evidence in support of the usefulness major religions have provided. People will always feel the need to belong to groups, but all groups and cultures do not produce the same level of social, communal and personal stability, and pretending otherwise is a huge disservice to the giants whose shoulders we stand on and also dangerous narrative for impressionable people. I am not even religious, but memey hot takes like saying major religions are the same as woo woo cults is just wrong.
It sounds more like they know that this is a hard problem requiring foundational research, and suggests that rather more thought has gone into it than a quick HN comment dismissing their work.
> because i usually use xpdf for pdf files and ubuntu dropped it

FWIW, Ubuntu only didn't ship xpdf in 20.04. It's back in 22.04. Looking at the history of the package in Debian, it looks like it was on "life support" for a while in Debian by people I recognise as Ubuntu developers, but then also got removed from Debian testing for the same reason. However Debian didn't have a release at all in 2020, so it didn't miss a Debian release like it missed an Ubuntu release, and a new maintainer arrived to look after it again after that so it got fixed in time for Debian's 2021 release.

IOW, it was just a matter of timing of releases and the absence of a maintainer in both distributions for a while, rather than some weird Ubuntu decision.

Having said that, Ubuntu does tend to focus on evince, so that would explain why it didn't attract a replacement maintainer quickly from the Ubuntu end.

It seems a bit of a weird reason to change distribution over anyway, which is why I thought I'd explain the details :-)
Ask HN: WFH vs. RTO Productivity Data?
At the moment, many companies are trying to enforce RTO to at least some extent.
Personally, I found being in the office once a week is my sweet spot although it costs me almost 4 hours of commuting.
Both sides, WFH and RTO seem to argue with improved productivity.

So my question:
Is there any published data or research on WFH vs Remote productivity?
How do you prove you didn't order something?
Shit, even if you give someone all the Lego blocks in the world and a infinity accurate picture of the minimally complex final product, less than 1% would figure it out.

I bootstrapped dev learning by collecting all the necessary pieces of code but at the end of the data I feel like I'm just writing a huge semitechnical novel and the problems I encounter have nothing to do with the basic building blocks, it's entirely about code flow, data flow, entry points, race conditions and things you encounter after you hit 99% of test cases.

This stuff seems like new age "low code" environments.
Friendly reminder that if you work an 8 hour day and you have a 24 minute one-way commute (average US commute is 27.6), WFH is equivalent to a 10% raise just from the elimination of commute time. Realistically, with the various conveniences and avoided expenses, it's likely closer to a 20% raise for most people.

That employers aren't jumping for joy that they can offer such a massive benefit for essentially free (if not save money themselves) is astounding.
I strongly disagree. I work on Dart, which has had string interpolation since before Dart 1.0. And, also, since before Dart 1.0, I've wanted to have support for custom string interpolation processors.

It's just really useful if you can have an API that can decide how interpolated stuff gets handled. You can santize, do custom formatting, lazy evaluation, all sorts of fun stuff.
Does it work with WSL2?
Or you could prove it does not reason by adversarially generating correct simple logic puzzles in the same class, with known answers.

So it turns out that I probably disabled RCS first thing when I obtained this phone, so I had to manually set it up.

Just poking around, I notice that it's feebly attempting to sort messages into "Personal" and "Business" tabs, but this is fraught with errors which can't be corrected.

It's time to poll all my friends to ask what smartphone OS they use, and put that info into my contacts. Will this change highlight the OS type/RCS capability automatically?

Llama.cpp and you can download one of the quantized models directly from "thebloke" on HF. I can't 100% vouch for it because I have no idea how it builds under linux on apple silicon, I'd be very interested to know if there are any issues and how well it uses the processor.

https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

For reference, I can run the 7B just fine on my 2021 Lenovo laptop with 16GB ram (and ubuntu 20.04)
You mean you don't see tagged templates used at all? Or just not for sql?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

> Even this example - will this create a prepared statement or insert a correctly escaped value into the SQL string?

That tagged template doesn't evaluate to a string, it evaluates to a parameterized query object that contains the parameterized query string and the parameter values. You pass it to the mysql library and it executes the parameterized query.

const query = SQL`SELECT author FROM books WHERE name = ${book} AND author = ${author}`
typeof query // => 'object'
query.text // => 'SELECT author FROM books WHERE name = $1 AND author = $2'
query.sql // => 'SELECT author FROM books WHERE name = ? AND author = ?'
query.values // => ['harry potter', 'J. K. Rowling']

I feel like your reply is demonstrating this comment perfectly. You could be perfectly correct, but their point still stands that _they_ had a horrible experience that shouldn't have been so difficult.

Wikipedia had a long tail of low-value content, but even the low-value content tends to be among the highest value for its given focus. e.g., I don't know how many people search "Danish trade monopoly in Iceland", and the Wikipedia article on it isn't fantastic, but it's a pretty good start[0]. Good enough to serve up as the main snippet on Google.

One could argue that Idris ends up a lot simpler, through being uniform, than a language like C++ or LiquidHaskell that has to implement the same thing multiple times because of that separation between compile- and runtime.

> are a direct threat to freedom of speech

I can't really agree with that. Reddit is provided at-will under a well-worded TOS. Furthermore, they've already made it clear that they want to be bought and sold. Between the advertising, moderator uprooting and general lust for an IPO, it should be clear to every Reddit user that their platform is manipulated by private interests.

I'm afraid either side is at a loss here. Grimes obviously can't control her public image, but Reddit's users can't control the platform they use.

> Even this example - will this create a prepared statement or insert a correctly escaped value into the SQL string?

It runs the sql function, with separation between the static string parts and the dynamic values, and it returns whatever the sql function returns.
It's a bit of an unkind example as most would write the latter as

if (obj instanceof Point p) {
System.out.println(p.x()+p.y());
}

But I can maybe see the value if you need to use x/y more than once.

However in Java it's common to have getX() style accessors, for which this syntax doesn't seem that helpful as your variable would end up being called getX

As someone who lives in Canada. You don’t have to pay in this circumstance as far as I can tell. This happened to me with UPS and they sent me to a collection agency who I then asked for proof of the debt. Haven’t heard a peep since. I think if it happens enough, UPS will require prepayment for future packages. You can also refuse delivery.

The real scam is the brokerage fees that they tack on to the taxes. For an item worth $40 cad you will end up paying about $20 in brokerage fees on top of taxes for ground packages. The only way to avoid it is to know that the package is coming and clear it yourself before it arrives, which can only be done in person if you aren’t a broker.
