A lot of people who identify as pro-democracy, pro-human rights protestors are indistinguishable from hate groups. Most, if not all, hate groups think of themselves as the voice of oppressed people, demanding their rights. That's why they're always linking "Harrison Bergeron" and quoting Orwell.

> Most problems don't require a general graph. They require subsets of a graph, because everything is a subset of a graph. A list is a subset of a graph. A map is. A tree is. A relational database is. A directed acyclic graph is. But we can stop before it's just any "graph". We can stop at DAG, like neural networks do, or even at tree, like programming language syntax does ("abstract syntax tree", "expression tree"). Code and data are two faces of the same thing.

And if you have a single edge not fulfilling the stricter structure's properties, you are left with a general graph. A single one, hence my point.

> but because it removed freedom in a highly specific way, which enabled larger more reliable systems, contrary to naive expectations.

That I agree with, but I personally believe it is too restrictive in case of memory models. Especially that the price really is not high -- modern GCs have insanely good throughputs with bounded latency, the only price being a slightly larger memory footprint.
"free", but you often get what you pay for.

How does the concept of a walled garden have anything to do with this?
Or just filled with so-called "night life" that so many people think they would participate more in if they lived closer.

It's the cause of so many issues in America (physical, mental, social). A great book on the utterly broken build environment in North America is "The Geography of Nowhere":

Also, people forget - walkable doesn't just mean "somewhere you can walk" - I means you can walk to activities of daily living (groceries, pharmacy, gym, job, friends places, etc).

They want you to be state employed and get rid of private property eventually. They want you to not have any children.

Java's ecosystem is moving away from checked exceptions because their "bolted onto the return type as a sidecar" design doesn't compose well with functional-style APIs.

Monadic error handling (Rust's Option<T>/Result<T, E>) avoids that issue by putting the error inside the return type as a normal value.

(Which is why, on multiple occasions, I've seen people call Result<T, E> "checked exceptions done right/properly".)
often they'll loan out pieces of art to museums, so they get the tax benefit and they get to keep the art pieces. I'm not sure how many of them are giving cash away to non-profits they don't have some controlling interest in (seems it would be rare but maybe I'm wrong)
The thing is that the people doing things in this world do not write comments. Elon Musk is a rare exception.

I follow F1 and I imagine Lewis Hamilton and how he spends his day. He has better things to do than to chime in on F1 forums.

It is as simple as that, people that are famous for achieving things are not going to waste their time on forums.

What I do find amusing is how many HN extensions there are in the Chrome store. If I was at university then I would write one too - the simplicity of the format begs for some styling and whatnot.
usually you're hired by the headhunting firm for a short period, e.g. 6 months, sometimes more or less. you work for the headhunters, your paycheck and insurance is through them, you just work on site / for the other org.

in 6 months if the other org likes you they can hire you on, or if they don't they can just say "get me a new one", etc. in some cases, like you know its a 2 year project, you just stay on for 2 years.

but that means the headhunters are taking 10-30% of what would otherwise be a full-time salary.

lowers the risk for the other org.

The vast, vast majority of roads are never touched by a freight truck. If you think of all of the roads built to support every house, apartment, suburban intersection they may cost upwards of a million dollars a mile to build but require little maintenance once built.

So if you are only looking at who is incurring repair/maintenance cost, you are still only caring about a tiny cost center overall of DOTs.

I'm not arguing that GPS is a good idea, but tying road income to overall road usage is a good positive incentive that we don't want to axe completely.
We could always try having more efficient government that doesn’t need to try so hard to squeeze every tax dollar they can out of the middle class.

We wouldn’t even need to touch entitlement programs if we just got rid of wasteful pork spending and streamlined some of the bureaucracy.

There are other factors which contribute more to mental health but this is like justifying what the authors want using mental health as a reason. Making cities more walkable would be better for other reason but I doubt if mental health would significantly increase if we make cities more walkable. San Francisco is very much walkable but has highest mental health issues.

Not if you know, or can get a good estimate of, the potential well it's climbing out of.

That said, Brian Cox does sometimes joke that astronomers round π to 1; while I wouldn't know about the reality, it's probably safe to infer at least some frustration on his part about the precision of things in this field.

This can't come soon in enough in CA where a huge number of people don't have the option of rooftop solar because they are apartment and condo dwellers and/or renters. Apparently a law was finally passed in 2022 to allow community solar [1], but Energy Sage community solar searches [2] turn up nothing in any of the populous zip codes I entered.

If you’ve worked together long enough, hopefully you are all coding in a common way that everyone can read.

A lot of stuff is codifiable as well. Shove your lint config in the repo, since you should all share a code style.
That’s a 16-20k investment to make what was previously paying for itself back into a worthy investment. That’s not trivial.
I don’t know, I think this proposal means a neighborhood scale “grid” + solar + batteries is cheaper than PGE for a high income area. What happens to the grid when it’s only poor people left connected to it?

This is not surprising in a capitalistic first-world country and always happens when everything around you is designed for you to always drive somewhere.

Email – The System Running Since 71’
The surge in anti-AI clauses reminds me of robots.txt, albeit with more (gnashing of) teeth. But robots.txt mostly served to entrench Google and Bing, and frustrated attempts to build Common Crawl (a project that's also in the crossfire now!)

I'm concerned that like with robots.txt, these clauses will end up centralizing who has access to the training corpus, more than it will meaningfully restrict what the corpus is used for. I'm sure Google already had a license to train ML models on the Google Books corpus, and that they've fed it all into Bard. I'm sure Google's more than happy to be the trusted, sole custodian of these datasets.
Reachable/accessible and reached/accessed are different things, why are we talking about it as if it's the same thing? One is a potential eventuality, the other is an event.

GC are concerned with the potential eventuality, which is 100% decidable, not with the latter, that was never under discussion.

To say "reachability is undecidable" means you can't decide whether you MAY or MAY NOT reach it. Which is wrong. You can decide whether you MAY or MAY NOT reach it. And if you MAY NOT... then that's 100% unreachable and safe to collect.
I was ok with this aspect of lending via Kiva. Finding out someone else was making a profit off the interest of a loan that I funded is the hard pill to swallow.
I would argue that this constitutes not well-maintained.

It's not like the feature is being requested in an mp3 player, it's a music score editor that refuses to allow editing a music score.

Even if there is no other better, so what?

It doesn't make it valueless garbage either necessarily, and so I agree with the downvotes on the original comment. But this point by itself seems perfectly valid to me. "Well-maintained" definitely takes a ding to it's polish at the very least.
From a logical perspective, Montana now needs to declare war on China and India. The US' CO2 emissions have been falling for a long time, now at levels of the 1950s.

Pritzker's nuclear ban also means Montana invading a fellow state.
I always make sure that author can resolve my comments. If they can't do that, the pr is not approved - because I would like them to address something. If I approve it, then each of my comments should be resolvable.
I see arguments that are hostile towards a certain type of car owner -- the entitled sort that can't stand anything less than absolute car dominance of the roads. The kind who's opposed to new housing or badly needed bike or bus lanes because it might impact public street parking.

Hostility towards anyone who owns a car is rather more rare from walkability proponents. Not totally unheard of, but hardly mainstream.
Product support is an integral part of enterprise software engineering.
Product management does not know what adding a new feature or deprecating an old feature means. It is the responsibility of engineering to provide the dependency matrix.

For example, engineering usually tells product, if you change feature A, then it will also affect feature B, C and Z. Otherwise you may end up with contract breaches and SLA violations.

Product lifetime and providing incremental features is a big reason why SAP and Oracle have been successful in the enterprise space and people still pay a lot of money to buy them.

The GPL is the most free license, because it guarantees the propagation of freedom. The MIT license does the opposite. If I want my code to be hidden, mangled, and exploited to make some asshole in a suit rich at the detriment of the rest of society, I already have plenty of opportunities for that: paid work. All the MIT license is good for is devaluing paid software work in the eyes of the ownership class. In contrast, the GPL simply codifies the social contract that should apply to every social interaction: basic respect via repayment in kind. You got something for free! Why not likewise pay it forward by taking an action that also costs you nothing?

The GPL just asks that you engage in basic human decency. The MIT license declares you a mark.
C# mostly suffers from having way too many options to do something. The quality of the average codebase written in 10 layer-abstraction-heavy OOP style that does not leverage the language features for writing concise and understandable code does not help either.

This is one of the reasons people rave about F# - it's less about the language and more about not suffering from really bad tradition that has settled over the years.

Don't get me wrong, the situation improves significantly each year, but the developers who require extensive explanatory work to get any semblance of buy-in to stop doing things the painful and cargo-cult-y way are still in the majority.

Otherwise, I think C# is very approachable thanks to it being extremely forgiving language* in general and standard library offering easy-with-pretty-good-defaults shortcut options to do the basics like networking, file io, hashing, creating simple web servers and UI applications, etc. Its both CLI and IDE tooling is also top notch today.

* Forgiving as in, mistakes usually tend to decrease otherwise excellent (better than Go) performance rather than cause critical failures.
These studies just shows that exercise improves mental health. I doubt anyone disputes that. The question is — are there benefits from walking directly, benefits that you can't get by say going to the gym. The claim of urban density advocates is that just being around thousands of strangers improves mental health.
I can't argue with your aesthetic preferences, but you haven't yet stated a concrete harm.
Nobody claimed or believes that an engineer "should be doing whatever it is they feel like doing". You've misread what you're arguing against and assumed it is saying something it very much isn't.
Not surprising, since it's the municipal lawmakers that are part of the existing problem.
> Build more homes

Building more homes... purchasable only by people (corporations) with money... to be rented out.

Yes that is definitely something that hasn't been happening over the past several decades.
What? Where did you get that from?
It's shame it looks like web clients won't be able to connect to each other p2p. If it supported the use of ICE+DTLS+SCTP or even ICE+QUIC, then it web clients could join in.

Or am I missing something in the docs?
Reasonable people can disagree.

My quite small yard in the burbs is my oasis with fruit trees, a garden, place for my dog to run, and a lovely place to sit and listen to birds. On top of this, we can walk to amenities and greet our neighbors on the sidewalk.

If I lived in a soulless apartment block my mental health by contrast would be in the pits.

I mean, if they have a bunch of enterprise customers there’s a fairly strong disincentive; any sensible corporate customer, if they did this, would presumably say, right, cool, MS Teams time.
This just happened! The punishment is not a "was", it is a "will be"!

Do you think this is a story about something that happened last year? This happened on Friday and started receiving attention two days later, which was yesterday. This is the third day since this happened. It will take months to investigate this kind of thing, and the actual punishment, after that investigation and trials, will be years from now.

If you want to have a conversation about how quickly investigations happen, fine, but three days is a completely absurd expectation.

If this gets buried and nobody deigns to prosecute it, I'll happily pick up my pitch fork and join the rest of you, but until then, for goodness sake, have some patience.
I don't think that holds up.

Paying customers absolutely HATE the idea of their data being used to train AI models without their permission - this Zoom story is just the latest example of that.

Companies that try to do this will get burned. Zoom just got burned really badly, and I personally don't think they actually intended to even do this - they just didn't make it clear enough that they were NOT going to do it, which sparked a PR nightmare firestorm for them.

I think the incentives for companies are very much the other way round: if paying customers hate this, then the incentives are NOT to do it.
A good doc needs some funding. It’s been a slow journey. Our TikTok is quite popular and raised a lot of awareness.
While it might cause other issues, I think the root is somewhere else and harder to solve (even if the solution is obvious).
The places with low rates of car ownership in the US are cities like D.C., NYC, SF, Boston, and Chicago. These aren't heavily polluted places, NYC in fact has great air quality most of the time due to prevailing winds. The ten worst cities for Air pollution have 0 overlap with the bottom 10 cities in car ownership.
I should point out that ECG machines that use heuristics to provide on the spot diagnoses already exist, are widespread and are way easier to implement.

Well, the kind of computer you have in mind used to be electronic computer to distinguish it from a computer or calculator which described a human being who computed. See, for instance, Nevil Shute's biography Slide Rule in which he describes being in charge of a department of calculators when working on the R100.

It's a fascinating read. You can get it from Anna's Archive.
I draw benefits from a number of federal entitlements, and that means I need to supply full details of my financial records to these offices on a regular basis. This includes paystubs, bank statements, letter of income from friends or family.

Whenever I fill this stuff out, I feel vulnerable and exposed. This is way more than anyone needs to share with the IRS or anyone else. I've declined financial assistance from hospitals because they'd need to dig deeply into my finances the same way.

This may be a great way to tax the rich and stick it to Elon Musk, but I feel like any such program had better be optional, and what happens to all those juicy financial records they receive, when they start leaking?
Is it a mistake if that's all you need?

I'm kind of on the side of avoiding ORM unless you have a clear need for it. But I've seen projects where they are very valuable. If you mainly want to register, update and delete a bunch of structured data, it's not a bad idea to put it in a dabatase. And if you do those operations a lot in some part of the application, it's not a bad idea to use an ORM there. For analysis and reports and such I would probably suggest just writing SQL directly though.
In the US, you'll empty your bank account and still get terrible service - you've spent money but received terrible care. Maybe things change if you can afford your own full-time doctor for 500k / year. Canada ranks above the US in every healthcare measure.
There's a lot of comments about building more homes.

That's only part of the problem. Another part is the fact that rents are a thing. Make it unprofitable to rent and you'll find a lot fewer people forced to rent.
Interesting, I had assumed it wouldn't even allow uploading it if the manifest required that permission. Hope they allow it for you!
Thank you, this makes more sense. It highlights the fact that switching everyone to driving EVs is not enough to counter climate change. We need to think about trucks too. In fact, switching all trucks to EVs is likely to have a bigger impact on our emissions targets. Ergo we should focus our energies here first.
If that were true the top 10% income bracket wouldn't be paying the extreme majority of all the income taxes in the US (around 73% of all income taxes). Instead they'd pay very little.

The US is a highly progressive taxation country. By comparison, Scandinavian countries are far less progressive on taxation, the burden is spread wider, you're made to pay for eg your healthcare costs in said countries via high taxation. Also compare the typically modest US sales tax levels vs the high VAT taxes across Europe and elsewhere.

Here are the facts for the US taxation profile.

Top 1% of income earners - share of all income: 22%, share of all income taxes paid: 42%. Average income tax rate: 26%.

So you've got the top 1% paying 42% of all income taxes. If they actually controlled taxation (ie if the US system of government worked by bribery as is so often incorrectly claimed), it's very clear that wouldn't be how things work.

5% to 1% bracket - share of all income: 16%, share of all income taxes paid: 20%. Average income tax rate: 17%.

10% to 5% bracket - share of all income: 11%, share of all income taxes paid: 11%. Average income tax rate: 13%.

25% to 10% bracket - share of all income: 21%, share of all income taxes paid: 15%. Average income tax rate: 10%.

50% to 25% bracket - share of all income: 19%, share of all income taxes paid: 9%. Average income tax rate: 7%.

Bottom 50% - share of all income: 10%. Share of all income taxes paid: 2%.

Taxpayers in the US earning under $42,000 had an average income tax rate of 3%.
That's terrible, sorry that this happened to you. At least those GTTF officers got caught eventually.

I assume you've read or watched "We Own This City"? I'd be curious about your take on it.

Side note but I remember when they first rolled out that Baltimore bench slogan... I vaguely remember some explanations that the previous slogan ("The City that Reads") was also rather "aspirational", given the illiteracy rate.
Most EULA contracts have a clause that expressly permits the company to abandon their obligations upon sale of the business or other such events. However, that seems somewhat redundant, since these same contracts also assert that they can modify the terms whenever they want. For the average user, there's little to no recourse when the original contract gets violated.
