> Yes, but you don’t need a bill for that, you can just get it from the municipality where you are registered.

Yeah, that's not how it works in all European countries. Which can get really "interesting" in some cases, believe me (I've lived through that).

I've also been requested proof of employment, which is also interesting when you're unemployed. In one of the countries, they said I can just give them proof of unemployment benefits... which I don't have, because I left my job willingly.

And then they told me: "well, in that case you can get proof of unemployment from the municipality". Except... that I'm not even living in your damn country and the municipality where I live doesn't even know whether I'm working or not (why would they?!).

But this does not even compare to all the problems I've had when I've not been living in the same place stably for an extended period of time. It has been an absolute hell in some cases, because institutions (governments, banks, lawyers, etc) simply do not account for this possibility. They all assume that you have a stable address of residence.

In some countries you can't even receive some types of registered mail unless it is addressed exactly to where you are staying at that moment.

> You have a right to a basic account, not necessarily full service.

I don't think that's how it works. The governments have created a legal requirement for banks to provide minimum banking services, yes. But banks still have to comply with many other very strict requirements and customers may not be able to fulfill them, which prevents them from opening bank accounts.
This is also evident in the extremely overused phrase "simple yet powerful" that software libraries/tools/etc use when pitching themselves. Everyone apparently thinks their own inventions are Simple Yet Powerful.

Naming the site was a big struggle sesh. Lots of good names are taken, weren't the right vibe, etc. We sort of made the joke "404 Media Company Not Found" to ourselves but, I think to be honest we:

1) Like how it sounds

2) People get it right away, even folks I know who don't care a lot about tech journalism or aren't super internet savvy (maybe they are even more likely to find themselves on 404 pages!)

3) This is a little pretentious and not the actual reason we chose it (i.e. we realized it later), but we really do want to tell stories from "hidden" parts of the internet / tech and the undercovered parts of it. 404 pages are full of easter eggs, and maybe it's just something about accidentally stumbling onto a community or wold you didn't previously know existed.

I’ve worked in construction, maybe this was true for post-and-beam and perhaps some other methods where you are using what is available from nature.

Historically, for example, log cabins are popular in the woods because logs are plentiful and adobe was used in desert environments because of the abundance of sand, lime, binders, etc. I would not build a solid wood home in the desert of New Mexico for the same reason why I wouldn’t build a masonry house in the forests.

Today, we have all but perfected the manufacturing of, developed logistics for, and codified laws governing building standards focused on raw building materials that you can order from a lumber yard or even Home Depot.

Modern building construction, at least in North America, is based around the “balloon framing” idea that the walls support subsequent floors and the roof, maybe with a load bearing wall in the middle somewhere. With 2x6 framing members, you can go up to 3 floors in some jurisdictions without additional engineering sign off. As long as there is a flat platform to build the first floor, you can build up.

The foundation is the only thing that would require custom construction, with a pier and beam, you need to drive your pier 1-3ft below the frost line and with a slab or basement foundation, you also need to reach below the frost line, but requirements differ between codes.

Drainage is another area that needs special attention and is 100% custom for each project.
I would disagree. Social class divide is very opaque for those who aren't looking/ don't know how to see it, but it does exist. Take a rich general contractor of Southern Italian descent (say third generation American) compared to a middle-class elite private school teacher of English/Scottish descent (say 14th generation American). They aren't running in the same circles or living in the same neighborhood
By rough order of magnitude I don't see how this is any more than a fun fact with no commercial relevance. 4 billion tonnes of concrete are used annually and only 10 million tonnes of coffee. Even if you could gather up all of the grounds you'd still barely put a dent in the concrete production.

Unless the strength benefits result in lighter structures using less concrete. Though I suspect a lot of the use of concrete require the dead weight of concrete more than the strength (think of a gravity dam for example).
Anyone who has driven through a bunch of tract homes knows this to be true. The homes are built to maximize the number of homes in the available space and nothing else.

If you really don't believe me just survey home owners in those now 2-year old tract homes. Even if the actual houses have excellent construction you'll discover the builder completely declined to take into account things like drainage of the lot or how maintenance can be performed.

This is a big achievement for India. Not just in space exploration point of view but the side effects of such projects are more interesting.

Dozens of major private companies focused on making this success making various spare parts including steel cranes by Tata steel, special alloys of Mishra Dhatu Nigam (The Alloy Company), wings by L&T Aero etc. etc. I know some people here and they were so proud and focused on "excellence" which I think is often missing in what we Indians normally do.

Space programs are important because of precision required. It created a discipline and desire for perfection not just for ISRO but for all their suppliers and vendors. Hope this habit spreads.

I did some work on DBS devices.

Yeah, that's an intense surgery.

The MD doing the implantation was a rockin' bitch-ass motherfucking stone cold killer. Sorry for all the curse words, but that's the best way to describe her. I've never been near someone so dead calm no matter what. Just ice in the veins. She was ~6'5" and wore 6" stilettos all the time. That surgeon had presence. I'd never want to meet her in a back alley late at night.

We were developing a new technique to help out with implantation. One of the hard parts of DBS is knowing where to leave the stimulating end of the electrodes. You want to hit a specific region, but as everyone's brain is different, there's no way to stereotype the process. We had a little optical sensor that we were trying to use to guide the electrodes and see differences in the neuronal density. The place you leave the electrodes is in an area of relatively high density (S. Nigra). Bunch of Fourier analysis, machine learning, and machine vision went into it.

When you whole Internet personality is being obnoxious… I’m sorry you’re the way you’re. But do you really think you contribute something to discussion with your comment?
Respectfully, terrible places to meet ‘startup people’. Great place to meet H1Bs though. Valuable perspectives too.

‘Startup people’ tend to congregate in very dangerous, played out, empty neighborhoods like SoMa, FiDi, and lower Market. Great place to get jumped by the way. You’ll find software people all up and down the peninsula, sure, but those aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Those are comfortable salarymen. You want a ‘startup person’ - someone crazy enough to start a business in this market, and naive enough to be the obvious mark at Peet’s near the ferry building with his new MacBook falling out of his backpack.

Edit: punctuation
No, if you need your error to outlive the path, then you can create a dedicated error that hold the path itself. This way it could lead to an allocation, but only when you actually need it.

In your particular example you could memcopy the path in the Error, without allocating at all (but you may also want to box the path instead if the path made the enum size too big).
Or a caret if you want to make it unambiguous in the other direction.

Shameless plug: recently launched LLMStack (https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack) and I have some custom pipelines built as apps on LLMStack that I use to transcribe and translate.

Granted my use cases are not high volume or frequent but being able to take output from Whisper and pipe it to other models has been very powerful for me. It is also amazing how good the quality of Whisper is when handling non English audio.

We added LocalAI (https://localai.io) support to LLMStack in the last release. Will try to use whisper.cpp and see how that compares for my use cases.

>What is the use case you have in mind

Literally any time/where I would use a translate app that speaks the target language???? Personally, like you, I don't care if it sounds like my voice, but is it really hard to imagine someone who might?

Are you "pretending" to speak other languages when you communicate across any translation layer? Could help one learn what their voice might sound like in a language or maybe on discord there's a layer so we can all hop in to any language discord, speak, and everyone hears us in their native language. No more robotic translator voice or whatever friction exists as is.

> No SPA frameworks do this by default.

No, but I've definitely seen bespoke, hand-rolled frontend code do it. You can't select SPA frameworks as representative of frontend rendering but look only at hand-rolled PHP from 2002 for backend rendering.

No major SSR framework is XSS-vulnerable by default. Whether you're using Rails, Laravel, Spring, ASP.NET, Phoenix, or whatever, every template engine escapes your strings unless you opt-in with something like Rails's `html_safe`, and they have for over a decade. Unless you've built your own SSR framework by hand with raw string interpolation, the "easy" way to do things is also the right way, just as it is in React.

Yes you'd need to go through a lot of problems because every problem is slightly different

Realistically, it is rare that you would encounter hundreds of identical problems.

Take realistic examples: topcoder.com, Facebook's Hacker cup, and Google codejam. Or any university exam. Or SAT. Or Olympiam math. Their problems are unique because they can't just create the same problems over and over again.

There are also other aspects like solving the problems faster and being able to write up a solution correctly. Coding it correctly at the first try is really a magical moment.

Health insurance in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland, among others, cannot charge more for pre-existing conditions.

Also, it's law in many countries that you cannot discriminate against people on the basis of protected characteristics, no matter the mechanism or how unfair it may seem to those with privilege.

Tornado Cash Founders Charged With Money Laundering And Sanctions Violations
Banks are not obliged to open accounts to everyone. So there are people who can't use banks, even if they want to.

You must accept plenty of agreements between bank and you, and there are only so many banks, so it's very possible for some people to find bank terms to be unacceptable for them.

Right now those people have cash as an alternative. Making it illegal removes some freedom from those people.

Nasal Breathing: Inhaling and exhaling through the nose to filter and humidify the air, increase oxygen uptake, and engage in diaphragmatic breathing.

Tummo Breathing: A Tibetan practice combining visualization and breath control, involving deep inhalations and exhalations to generate body heat.

Holotropic Breathwork: Rapid and deep breaths, usually accompanied by music, to achieve altered states of consciousness.

Buteyko Method: Focuses on shallow and reduced breathing to increase CO2 levels, promoting relaxation and better oxygen uptake.

Box Breathing: Inhaling, holding the breath, exhaling, and holding the breath again, all for an equal count, to calm the mind and increase focus.

Pranayama: Various yogic breathing techniques to control breath and energy, aiming to balance the body and mind.

Pursed Lip Breathing: Inhaling through the nose and exhaling slowly through pursed lips to improve lung function and control.

Sudarshan Kriya: A rhythmic breathing technique used in conjunction with meditation to reduce stress.

I teach a simplified breathing method for actors called "Flash Breathing" that teaches a series of breaths starting at the speed of gasping, ending at the speed of slow, deep breathing, and concentrating on the "space" between exhaling and inhaling. Very effective.

Show HN: Probly – a Python-like language for quick Monte Carlo simulation
Hello! I'm Tom and I've been working on Probly. It's a small language designed to make it easier to build simple Monte Carlo models.

(There are four code examples at the link, ranging from about 10 lines to 100+ lines of code.)

With this project, the hope is to make it feel less onerous to get started making calculations that incorporate uncertainty. Users don't need to learn powerful scientific computing libraries, and boilerplate code is reduced.

Probly is much like Python, except that any variable can be a probability distribution.

For example, `x = Normal(5 to 6)` would make `x` normally distributed with a 10th percentile of 5 and a 90th percentile of 6. Thereafter `x` can be treated as if it were a float (or numpy array), e.g. `y = x/2`.

Probly may be especially beneficial (over other approaches) for simple exploratory models. However, it has no problem with more complex calculations (e.g. several hundred lines of code with loops, functions, dictionaries...).

Probly is implemented in Go. It's a simple modification of Starlark (a subset of Python originally designed for use as a configuration language). By the way, most but not all of it could have been implemented in Python by overloading operators, etc.
great to see!

Congratulations, India!
