The Correct Answer™

--

I've never understood Twitter. How do I follow convos? What are people talking about? Why can't I find anything? And most annoyingly, obvious links (hrefs) don't work, forcing click thrus. (Engagement FTW!)

And WTF am I seeing the same frikking content over and over and over?!

I'm finally using 𝕏 (neé Twitter) just this year. Because for the first time, I was super motivated to follow a handful of geeks (wrt climate crisis and electrifying everything) that don't post updates elsewhere. (For now. With Musk imploding 𝕏, THANK THE GODS, everyone's on the lookout for the next disco.)

I now get how and why 𝕏 blows. It's an outrage machine, not a forum host. Those two use cases are mutually exclusive.

--

Imagine a personalized HN landing page where I only saw unread updates from the people I follow. And for entries/topics that I'm "watching".

Also imagine the ability to filter OC (outbound links). The stuff I never want to read.

Lastly, imagine dupes (reposts) somehow get deduped. Like a forum for "continuing conversation", vs a whole new entry. People could repost (retweet) as much as they want and HN smartly aggregates them.

And a great search.

Now imagine the client for those forum features. Either web or app.

Track my personal history. Which OC and people and topics do I most view, watch, bookmark, and like? Not just for internet karma, but also to complete my personal feedback loop.

If my personal RSS reader and podcatcher simply logged my own viewing habits locally, I'd be in heaven.

Render my activity on a timeline and I'd hit nirvana. (There's probably some other useful visualizations too.)

The "serverless" angle is super compelling for us. We don't have a lot of time to think about this kind of thing. Being able to go from 0 to 100TB with compute/storage scaling automagically is simply bananas value. I don't really care what it costs anymore. I know the herd will mostly protect us with regard to pricing (our utilization is paltry compared to advertised use cases).

I totally get the HTAP argument now. I have absolutely zero anxiety about some rogue select causing trouble in a reporting context because of how trivial everything became. Things like adding read replicas for one-off reporting needs is a non-event now.

> Tell me you don't know what's a python virtual environment without telling me you don't know what's a python virtual environment

Of course you know that also that Python virtual environments are used to handle/isolate different python packages and their versions on top of the system-wide python installation, and not different versions of python runtime, so I won't even mention it. Of course in theory you can have as many different python version installed as you want on the same system, but whoever suggests that has never tried having more than 1 intentionally. I'm sure you were only joking with that post. Haha. I get it.

that's an interesting observation. goes to show how office work has altered

also, does the patent mean centripetal force instead of centrifugal?
it's centripetal that pulls to the center of the rotating disk.

The term "run interference" is so much more accurate than I think folks who've never done this realize. My wife submitted a birth plan that explicitly stated no drugs except in the case of emergency. After the fourth time one of the floor nurses asked my wife if she was ready for her epidural I ended up gently insisting she not step foot in our room again. On three occasions I physically barred entry to the room to a lab tech that thought 3am was an appropriate time to do routine blood draws. Twice I caught and stopped a group of 10 (!!) med students about to enter the room for no medically obvious purpose. To the extent that there was any peace during or after my wife giving birth it was because I was belligerenly guarding the door.

Cargo is an evolution of older ideas from Ruby's bundler, so in a sense it does have a longer pedigree than most other tools of that ilk. Bundler mostly doesn't suck. There are design choices I disagree with but there's a happy path to using it that gets a lot right. There are ways to do language tooling that don't suck.

Without much direct experience of cargo I can't say whether that carries across, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was genuinely the best of breed and stays that way.

I don't think it takes much convincing - after all being comfortable is great.

It's deciding to be uncomfortable - so walking/cycling instead of driving, eating less overall etc. that goes against our basic instincts - I'm surprised that you're surprised that not that many people do it when out of the two lifestyles it's the one that requires more effort.

$DIVINITY, I hate Java-flavoured Python with a passion. Sometimes I dive into corporate stuff that seems like it was done by the yard by interns measured in LOC per day, or literally code-generated from some overly abstract spec.

Worse, sometimes I will have to dig down into accessors of accessors to find the actual logic for a library (which is why I often implement my own, shorter and easier to debug ones).

I write Python in a mix of FP style (with the occasional class for handling specific contexts or tasks) that aims to be as concise and readable as possible, and yes, I will use global variables in a module if it saves me the trouble of herding some constants or common state around and making function invocations unnecessarily long.

The FTC is going after what is made available to them, and the privacy watchdogs said "hey YouTube Kids still has cookies and behavioral ads on it" so they're going to look into that.

My understanding was that age gating was a purely voluntary practice and that the 1st Amendment bars government enforcement of age gating on media. Almost two decades ago California tried to enforce age gating on video games and got shot down by SCOTUS[0]. I am aware that several deep-red states (e.g. Utah) are trying the same thing for porn. I doubt such a thing will get by SCOTUS, not even today's right-leaning court that's in a 'overturn precedent the liberals like' mood. So if the FTC were to start going after YouTube for Pregnant Elsa Spiderman videos they're likely to have a huge legal battle on their hands.

Let's be perfectly clear: if social media companies are required to ensure a 100% success rate with your kids not seeing garbage on YouTube, then they're going to start requiring age verification for any use of their service. Age verification companies are very scummy and, even if they weren't, requiring you to deal with such a company in order to watch a YouTube video is unnecessarily invasive. Practically speaking, if you want everyone to be able to upload video, then the best you can do for keeping kids out of the gore and porn videos is a series of 'good enough' educated guesses. YouTube is not a babysitter.

I first encountered RTL technology when i was a kid, probably 14 or 15, rummaging at a local electronics surplus shop, looking for cheap boards to salvage parts from, and saw this odd board full of small modules in which components were sandwiched between the main board and the many mini PCBs it contained, each one, as I later discovered, made a RTL logic gate. It cost almost nothing, so i bought it and salvaged a good number of transistors from it, all marked with the SGS-ATES logo and internal numbering that made them impossible to identify, although they all worked in the non critical experiments a kid might try in the very early 80s.
The point is that Haskell's do notation works for every monad, whereas "product" in Ruby works for just a cartesian product of sets, and not any other use of monads (e.g. generating random values, async code, operations that might return errors, IO operations, and so on).
Depends on what your prior exposure to 3D graphics is... And what you want to build in 3D.

A top down approach would be something like three.js -> webgl/webgpu/etc... That way you'll see results quickly. And you'll know how lower level graphics concepts like vertex shaders, fragment shaders etc.. fit into the picture.

Doing it with web tech might be more familiar to you and you won't get bogged down with unrelated issues like build systems, windowing libraries etc...

I love insects, all of them, they all participate in pollination, there's no reason to have a so big focus on honey bees. Let alone that honey is not really optimal for us, we need fibers.

There is a world outside the US but you don't have to support it, depending on what your site does. I'm not american. I'm not even a native english speaker. And 99% of the sites I go to are perfectly fine if they don't allow neither usernames nor posts containing RTL characters.

I live in the US and most of those are not a thing.

I need to file taxes but no one sends me a reminder. My town asks me to verify my address once a year but nothing (other than possibly being eventually removed from voting rolls) happens if I don't. Driver's license and registration are supposed to be your current address but again I'm not sure anything especially happens if they aren't. No one sends me anything to remind me to get my inspection updated.

So I have a supposedly current address on file with various government agencies but AFAIK there is absolutely no rule that, if I pick up and move I have to tell anyone. I do need to file taxes correctly although, as I wrote elsewhere, if I don't have a permanent address that's simultaneously perfectly legal and something of an edge case.
My main reservation with AI tools for generating code isn't so much an issue with the technology, but rather and issue with us.

Yes, it's definitely much easier to get up and running with Java than it is with Haskell. This includes everything from setting up the JDK, setting up your IDE, to building and deploying your applications.

We have more technological people in the field who can understand the knobs faster than we've ever had before. ML now has the ability to figure it's own knobs.

Then: not a lot, now? Half the internet.

Steam engines, very mechanical. Back then to drive a train, you needed to be trained, work with the conductor, driver. Now? A train driver operates a lever. Now AI are replacing those jobs for driver-less trains. Our local subway is exercising the idea.

The role of an artist will be replaced, they will co-exist. But the skill of actually producing the image will turn in to menial work; where for what their talent was once worth, skill learnt will suffer to be.

Anyone can type a "A fairy-elf of a dystopian world with a abandoned castle fighting off a horde of bionic-flies". All you would need is an artist to brush up on the artwork to make it feel more "human".

Maybe for the initial design, but once done. Why would you pay the artist, when you've already got the concept image required to be trained upon?
Not saying that this applies to LLMs but if you describe them as "a collection of facts [collected and] trained by an entirely un-creative process" then it begins to sound like one could argue for Database Right.

That's true of most new languages. It seems like most projects these days can produce a LSP with minimal effort, make the obvious choice of sandboxing every project separately to avoid dependency hells across projects, have at least basic distribution systems even with small communities, etc.

The community learned a lot from the mistakes of yore.
WebGPU, unsurprisingly, is much better supported by the web ecosystem right now (just like WASM in the beginning), so you'd have better luck trying to use ClojureScript (as then you can just use the JS interop) for playing around with it. https://codelabs.developers.google.com/your-first-webgpu-app would be easy to get started with and translated to ClojureScript cleanly without issues.

Also, keep in mind that WebGPU only been around since 2021, and wasn't actually enabled in Chrome until this (2023) spring, so it's relatively new tech, not surprising that the ecosystem still feels halfbaked.

Work does not guarantee the right to a good life. Rather, it is political power. Nobody is saying 'AI will automate landlords out of a job', because everybody knows that's nonsensical. Being a landlord is primarily a right to extract value guaranteed by political power. It is not primarily a job. If you have no political power, it doesn't matter how fundamental to the economy you are, you can expect to have no rights whatsoever. Slaves were the entire economy of the US South, for example. If you have political power, you can be as useless as most landlords are, and you can still expect to live well.

Trying to game the system by being useful to wherever you guess industry is going to be in ten years is stupid. Just do what you can, and devote your energies to organizing.
