Hello, I'm Olivia Robinson, a software engineer based in Chicago looking for contract or FT opportunities in the tech industry.
if she was dead at noon, the most she could be by 7 was undead
Yes, I would like to see something between the web and Gemini where the style is always provided by the browser, like reader mode, and there is no javascipt, but there is a fairly rich set of media like images, video, and sounds.

You really need to easily "interact" with content by replying to posts, chatting, and up-voting, searching, and navigating.
The dream would be to efficiently fractionate your algae, and separate out lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and specific high value stuff like phycocyanin or astaxanthin. Then you could sell into these high margin markets to supplement your fuel production.

Or you could not do any of that and press your dry algae into a pill and sell it at a high margin. As far as the profit motive goes, it just doesn't add up. So the dream dies on the vine.

I'd love to see the government pour money into this and build a plant that operated this way at a loss, on a sort of Apollo project basis; it wouldn't necessarily make financial sense, but we'd generate a bunch of great technology which would be applicable in many areas, and eventually it just might work. I think it's worth a shot to see if we can sustainably meet our food and fuel needs, maybe even in a carbon negative manner. But sadly I think we're going in a different direction.
There's a difference between "can you actually form this structure" and "if you could form this structure, what would it's properties be?"
NYC has not spent $750 billion on subway expansion (adjusted for inflation) even over more than a century. To use the IND 8th Avenue line as a benchmark, the second to last trunk line, the 14 route miles were built for about $4 billion in today’s money. The whole system has 248 route miles, almost all of it built before 1948. Assuming it was built at the same per-mile cost as the 8th Avenue Line, that’s about $70 billion or so in today’s dollars for most of the original network.

The NYC MTA spends $7 billion a year on capital expenditures, not $15 billion. Most of that is maintenance, not expansion. No transit system can spend anything close to 100% of their budget on expansion over that time horizon. So your $1 billion a year is probably more like $2 billion accounting for maintenance. That is more than the entire Las Vegas budget.
I think you're asking this question because you're wondering if a container that uses environment variables for its configs would show up in this and I think the answer would be no because it's an operating system service that supplies the answers for the values, but every developer on Earth copies the values into variables where there is going to be a pointer put on a register at some point which then would make it vulnerable
Please heed this - FPM is basically versioned tarballs. It's only useful for the most simple/contrived scenarios

Actual package specs require effort for good reason. It's not just an archive... but interdependence, steps to perform on (un)installation, changelogs, and so on.

There are some helpers already provided, ie: RPM macros.

Sure, they're esoteric, but show me a specialization that isn't. Refer to the Fedora packaging guidelines and enjoy life.
They do appear have this with links
This reminds me of one of my internet white whales. It's very similar to this, but it goes through a ton of different ways that one `import malevolent` or something alone those lines and completely change how normal Python works. Mentioning it here in case anyone remembers it!
In Maori, but in English they were dropped: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/weta#English
The main question is how did they do it? They must have some rules or facts 'book' (database, or something else), which is accessed by the model(s). It was a case earlier when ChatGPT falsely claimed someone was a criminal. And they fixed it quickly (within a few days, if I remember correctly), probably the same way.
Why is persona dead? I've never used them, their site appears to be online (still), though.

> I think the federated auth dream is just entirely dead at this point.

That you had to support individual auth providers, none of which were reliable, was a major issue. Had they been "oh here's my auth provider" and you stuck it into a site, that would have been grand. No need to have a bunch of "login with" providers up top.

That sort-of worked with OAuth 1.0, IIRC that protocol had issues which is why we had OAuth 2.0 which sorta worked (and I've never seen an easy impl, where you just "stand up" an oauth server and then clients easily use it). Back when you could use the likes of Yahoo to OAuth you around.
Not mixed feelings here: I wish they wouldn't do that. No doubt it was meant as respectful homage, but the effect is to flatten and obscure his particular qualities, because they have no specific connection to this product.
Bold strategy of reorganizing based on willingness to move, though I don't know the history of ether the teams were located. Seems terribly disruptive, but so is a union; one outcome is that everyone loses their job and the assets are sold to match
Or even just Raku’s grammars. Perhaps we need an RCRE library :)
I think that's a cop-out.

Of course environments which we've already denuded of all ecology are more expendable. Can you name a pristine (or at least, not-sterilized) natural environment which it's relatively OK to destroy relative to the polar arctic?
Literally the only reason to use Signal is to talk about unionizing, drugs, or shady biz deals.

Texting your coworker, would the usual path, not some secondary software that requires both people to set up ahead of time.
Next up, it becoming a practice, in places where we do not even know.
Picture, if you will, a Porcupine Orchestra System, architected on a foundation of Jellyfish Gargoyles and Bamboo Fairies. In this system, the user interacts with the Crocodile Concierge, a unique interface layer that acts as a portal to the Foggy Marshlands, the computational region of the application.
Probably Kiwi Farms or whatever it has evolved into these days.
> All of these existing sites are lying

that's a weirdly cynical take. Even with advertisement, it's not all equivalent to lies. I've been to plenty of travel sites that sold me stuff that actually turned out great and mostly accurate.
Do humans reason?

They are notoriously probabilistic and I know people who can’t keep track of simple relative directions.
Sorry to hear about your insomnia. I know from first-hand experience how chronic insomnia can be debilitating and make one feel incredibly lonely. It might help to know that you're not alone. Over 50% of our users have insomnia for over a year, and many are able to find ways to improve their sleep through our app.

For a while, I just accepted the fact that insomnia is something I've to live with (it's easy to feel that way especially if it has lasted for so long), but that's just not true. There are ways to better cope with your insomnia even if you're not able to resolve it entirely. Give our app a try and let me know if you have any questions.
To corroborate your comparison between news and WWE, here's a list of "slams" and "blasts" headlines I put together recently :)

> Python is definitely among the worst.

I don't think that is true at all.

Django would frankly be an excellent choice for most web apps and if you're into microservice architecture then frameworks like pantherpy are almost as great as Java's Quarkus. That being said, we do try to limit our Python use to be exclusively for the BI/AI/ML part of our business and that's solely because that's the language those people work with in my area of the world.

This is mainly for pragmatic reasons. We use Typescript for most things because it's nice to have a language that's shared between the front and backend of things when you work in the small teams that are non-tech Enterprise. Then when we need efficiency we use C (and Rust more and more because it protects us from ourselves), when we do embedded it's C and when we need something like Odata or whatever .NET(y) it's C#.

I think Go is nice to write and terrible to work with. Not so much because of the language but because you're going to be writing basically all your libraries from scratch, or alternatively, putting massive maintenance efforts into the ones you consume. Which to be fair, isn't that different from using Typescript, but as long as the frontend of enterprise apps is as it is you're going to be working with Typescript whether you like it or not.
I love this! As a daily user of the F-91W I do on occasion wish it had a few more features, but it mostly satisfies my needs. I love the form factor and the weight. I just wish it at least had a countdown timer.
> If the people of San Francisco want no robot cars until they're reasonably safe, that's a call they should get to make.

Should they also get to issue drivers licenses and car registrations? Decide who gets to live there and who gets forced out? Issue my passport (I'm a citizen of SF)? Where does it stop, in your mind?

San Francisco is a city that oversteps its bounds as frequently as it gets away with. It does not get to make the determination if a car is safe or not; that power resides solely with the State of California and has done so for around a century. Thank god for that, or else the types of NIMBY homeowners who live here would try to ban anyone not on their street from driving there.

> And as an actual San Francisco resident, I personally favor cutting back on the number of robot cars until they're demonstrably much safer.

And as an actual San Francisco resident, SF drivers are insane sociopaths and I would gladly trust my life to a robotaxi far more than I'd trust it to my fellow city residents.

I think people hate these cars because they drive the speed limit and stop at stop signs, with a healthy dose of "clearly big tech is responsible for all our problems."

These cars are already demonstrably safer than a human driver. If the city cares about preventing fires, they'd go after what's almost definitely the #1 cause of fires - homeless encampments. If they cared about road safety, they'd go after the #1 cause of traffic incidents - human drivers who virtually never get ticketed.

About every two months I think "oh, maybe I'll ride my bike to the office." Every two months, I nearly fucking die to some entitled driver who swerves into the bike lane to skip traffic, park, or just because they're on their phone.

Frankly, you are an extraordinarily privileged SF resident if you can pretend these cars are not an improvement. I am pleased that the city has no power to ban these cars from the road; it's the same set of people I've mentioned above.
Here's an article from 2014 about how the EU has approved twice the sunscreens the US has:

It's still true, we still don't have them. Obama even passed a law about it and it didn't help.

> Based on your assertion and the data this means that you think all three of these agencies are harming the population, with the FDA being the lesser of all evils, by not approving drugs fast enough. Do you have a source for this claim?

This is obviously true. Are Americans, Canadians and Europeans all different species? No. Are all three countries slash political unions capable of running clinical trials? Yes. Do the FDA or Health Canada trust each other enough to allow things the other approved? No.

Although the FDA is sometimes surprisingly relaxed - here's a nootropics company selling drinks with at least two unapproved medications in them, adrafinil and omberacetam: https://www.trubrain.com/products/drinks.
Just remember ChatGPT always likes to end with an unsolicited warning and a smile. :-)
I'm sorry, no, I'm not remotely sorry. It's not hard to carry a Yubikey. Period, done.
Maybe Intel has less baggage and can target what they know people actually use?
How often do people go to jail when they kill pedestrians with their cars?
Speculative execution seems like a never-ending rabbit hole of vulnerabilities. Though I feel like most of them end up being in Intel chips for some reason
charitably asserting that you are right in the sense that it can be found. I'm a vfx compositor turned devops crossover. The tooling at this point is decades old, in concept. There are many "reimagining"s of vfx pipelines with Unreal at its core, but even these pipes have flame/nuke/fusion somewhere downstream.

Even smaller than the unreal operators is the pool of users that are purists enough to try and keep it all in-box.

Maya, Nuke, Houdini. These are the kings of the vfx world you were looking for if youre talking in the tens of thousands of artists out there, using pipelines that are conceptually 20 years in the making in some parts. The switch from Shake to Nuke was ~15 years ago and theres _still_ nothing good enough to replace it. Foundry scrapes as much money from us as possible because its a good product.

Unreal is amazing. Our shop is wrapping a project using it as the lighting pipeline, delivering to a Nuke team.

Unreal is not the everytool.
> There is personal upside, just not the HN-approved shareholdery kind.

Enough personal upside to get someone to build you a house? Clean out the sewers? Wake up at 4AM to sit on a tractor and plow a field?

If you think the answer is yes, then why don't you try and get some people to do those things for "reciprocity" that doesn't involve money?
1. I like toxic comments like that saying something is simple without actually solving the problem, you're the best.

2. The average complexity to search, insert, and delete data in a hash table is O(1), for interviews it works 99% of the time.

3. There is alternative O(1) solution you're looking for, I'll leave this exercise to you, bro. As well as the other exercise of being less toxic and a bit more respectful to people you don't know online lol.
Sudoku? But there are endless failings in its reasoning, they just don’t come up during one-off questions, but during more complex discussions with it.
If you look at the social sciences research about video conferencing, it's clear that zoom is bad for creating trust between participants(even on a 1-1 call) and that phone calls do a better job than zoom in decreasing loneliness.

So my guess is , whatever solves that problem comes after zoom.
> It's incomprehensible to me how gullible people are around AI today -- the Eliza effect coupled with a pseudoscientific impulse to "whatever appears to work".

Incomprehensible perhaps, but not even a smidge unpredictable. You knew exactly what you would find in this comment thread.
Package Manager is like a Librarian. Librarians don't write books, they organize them to make them easier for the reading public to find.

Show HN: A No-Nonsense, Secure Online Image Converter
Yep. If you spend 5 years building a fab, then it will definitely be run on maximum utilization for as long as possible.

Things like microcontrollers thrive on the 180nm to 28nm nodes.

And even 74HC series logic chips are still being manufactured by Texas Instruments and Nexperia (former NXP/Philips).
All fab capacity gets used.
> The consequence of all of this is that there's a lot of ossification, and things can't be changed suddenly without (reasonably!) upsetting a lot of people who are invaluable to the community. It'd be great in terms of security if we could just force it, but that wouldn't be fair to them, to their historical expectations, etc.

I can't tell if you're being very overly generous to folks, or if there's something I'm really not considering. Given that I've been using a Yubikey, password manager, ssh-only auth, etc for ... idk, nearly a decade?

Did it take a whole hour to learn + setup? Yes. Do I think that over time I've been more secure, and had to deal with less headaches from the repeated LastPass breaches, password leaks, compromises, etc? Oooh absolutely.

---

Sorry Python ecosystem! Sorry a package was compromised by a careless dev. Pypi? Oh what about it? Why didn't it require basic security mechanisms to upload packages downloaded by literally tens of millions of users? Oh, we couldn't inconvenience lazy devs, come on now.

I just can't with people. These things matter. Taking hard stances and making people uncomfortable sometimes IS NECESSARY.

And to be clear, I'm not trying to come for your woodruffw (or the pypi team, god knows I've seen how HN acts with forced 2FA), I'm expressing a generous frustration that there doesn't seem to be a firewall where "general dev laziness" is overridden by idk, any sense of the commons, or any basic understanding that valuable assets WILL be attacked, passwords WILL be compromised and that some "root of trust" with something I physically can hold is pretty much required these days.

LOL HN really does not like hearing inconvenient truths or truths that point out their blind/lazy spots.
Kubernetes not required, just tons and tons of hand rolled Actions and env files and compose files and spaghetti bash. I don't understand the Kubernetes resistors, for a little bit of a learning curve all of this is taken care of for you - throw in GitOps for CD and you have the panacea of service orchestration and release automation...
I've worked a fair amount with a client that was using a no-code platform (Bubble) and I agree. These platforms make it easy to get started, but quickly their users get stuck at problems that would take me 2 lines of code to solve, but they just get stuck at the glass walls of the no-code platform.

Now, is it still better that no-code platforms exists and give non-technical people the chance to get started? Yes, probably. But the transition path is not clear to me, since no-code platforms don't want their users to move on. So, naturally, they evolve to do more and more complex stuff, which in turn makes their whole platform more complicated and scares off their very target audience.

So now, you need to hire agencies and "no-code developers" to work on your no-code app. Back at square one.

I can see the same story playing out with AI-based coding. If you don't know coding, AI-based coding is just a layer on top of a no-code platform.
Intel playing 4D chess to sell more new hardware
Emergency call works slightly differently to normal calls, in particular, it could start with the phone completely disconnected from the tower. So specifically emergency call being available in 2G doesn’t mean the phone still registers on 2G.

It’s probably a legal requirement that if 2G is supported emergency calls on 2G must be also supported. Maybe there are some LTE-3G dualmode phones without GSM in the world, if that’s what you must have?
So I guess NSA and other state actors have other solutions at hand now, that is why it can be done for some internet points.
They probably should never have started. The belief social engagement with journalists was going to "help" the public broadcaster was flawed.

The ABC is the third big public service broadcaster to remove itself from Twitter, following NPR and PBS in April. They left Twitter after Musk branded them “state media”.

The only valid reaction to this news is "Wonderful, we have a new tool in the arsenal to treat a very difficult to treat and potentially serious illness."

> It's deeply worrying the lack of support and proactive care new mothers receive from medical professionals, though it is getting better, just very slowly.

Agree, I don't treat or interact with PPD patients in my professional practice but my closest friend is an OBGYN and we've had many discussions about this over the years.

At least in most academic practices all patients are provided with education during the later stages of pregnancy and prior to discharge postpartum with typically one routine follow-up visit planned.

It's better than when I was a medical student but it seems a significant gap still exists between that and transitioning back to the patient's primary care provider who also tend to be more heterogenous in availability and knowledgeability about PPD.
My opinion is that Intel has excellent software culture compared to other hardware companies. It might be one reason.
Thank you. I'll never understand why there's such a dominance of luddite thinking, bad takes and conspiracy theories on HN, when it comes to the topic of mental health. Especially when it comes to drug treatments.

Psychiatry no doubt has a lot of problems with it. But it's also the only game in town for a huge amount of people. What's the alternative? Prayer circles? Ayahuasca tourist traps? Cannabis? Homeopathy? Give me a break. Conventional medicine has always been imperfect, and has always improved over time. That's no less true of psychiatry than any other subfield. Whatever "alternative" therapies are truly effective tend to be incorporated into it eventually. In psychiatry we've seen this with meditation, and we're seeing it now with psychedelics.
Is this a MacOS app? From the App Store?

Perseid meteor shower 2023: When, where and how to see it
I don't know what's in development but they do have a new chip that stated shipping this year and until recently they were the only ML-oriented product Intel had that was competitive in it's segment.
First thought was cool, clean simple API. I like it better than d3 to do the equivalent. -- Then I read this:

"When someone interacts with the graphics, for example by trying to drag an element to a new position, g9 optimizes over the space of possible values for your data to find a set of values that comes closest to creating the change. "

That is some highly magical DOM jimmying. High science weirdness. The applications I can think of where you'd need to manipulate a chart to modify data are all pretty niche (except for fun, which is universal). When the use case does come around this is going to be a delight.
In my experience a lot of people who started as developers 20+ years ago move on to system administration, and retitled themselves SRE/Devops over recent years.

I don't want to talk about ageism, or hiring biases, but I'd imagine if you found anyone who had an SRE-role and a long history they would be extremely likely to have had serious coding experience.

I've run into a few "young" devops engineers, and they tend to be more familiar with k8s, CI, and similar, rather than actually developing. But I guess that could well come down to the random people I've met, I wouldn't like to generalize.
