It's legitimately baffling if you actually believe that.

99% of all programmers just want their chosen tool to succeed.

Consider that you might have been influenced by rage-baiting trolls. That's understandable and it happened to all of us at one point.

Don't judge a community by the 0.1% bad apples. Every community has them.
what you do not know can hurt you ... behind closed doors they have added the equivalent of Airport Security on users, repos and access. Expect a profit center of maintaining your valid ID so you can start work each day.
What do you mean by "these things" in the sentence "these things don't take 2 fucking months"? Getting their new pilot for effectiveness measurement from it's current state to launch? Where do you think it's at now, and why do you think two months isn't long enough to get to launch?
I'd prefer they just came out and said that and stuck to their story.

As well as reserializing parts for free if it's clear you didn't steal them.
The Digital Services Act, which will apply in the EU in just a few days, mandates a human-reviewed appeal and a clear statement of the reasons for the actions taken. Blender is a Netherlands organization so they'd be covered "natively". This legislation could not have come at a better time.
One major simplification you can make is that due to purity, older values _never_ point to newer values. This means when doing generational GC, you don’t have to check for pointers from older generations into newer generations.
thanks for sharing - I'd not heard of this but it appears to be available for both Android and iOS, presumably Linux too. Hopefully macos and windows?
Maybe we can ask the DoSers to stop, nicely? Everything else being equal, I bet the Tor/Onion-folk are pretty smart people, and this is what they felt was necessary to keep the service running.
plan9's protocol seemed like it might have some legs...but it seems to be being deprecated
Not affilated in any way, listened to a podcast with Richard Hipp the founder of SQLite https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/. Super interesting especially his thoughts/work on exhaustive tests.
You're right. This doesn't minimizes traffic, it distributes it.

What's wrong with doing this before the baby is ready for solid food (around 4 months IIRC)?

What's wrong with using those types of diapers if they're better for the environment compared to a standard disposable diaper?
I think the thumbnails of the misted look awful, though that might be because I can see the original to compare. There seems to be weird semi-regular patterns around the images that I think I'd notice even without the comparison, though.

Nice. Pretty soon, we won't need CDNs for DDOS protection. We just serve API through Onion services.
Modular Raises 100M
Even so, the headline should not be editorialized like that. If the implication is that obvious, readers will pick it up from the original title.
Agree. I cannot comment on how probable or how widespread, but only that it is possible, and in fact it is arguably a certainty based on the premises above. Now if entropy was the only driver then self-replicating systems would be the norm. But alas, the Fermi paradox. I think we are asking too much.

Could it be falsified? I think if you could show that natural selection led to the survival of less dissipative life forms then you could claim falsification.
Agreed. What is holding a LOT of people back from doing even kind-hearted hacking (i.e. "grayhat" activities with the purpose of helping the victim) is the fact that a criminal record can break your career entirely. Bug bounty programs only get you that far, and some I believe (I have very limited experience with bug bounty hunting) have a strict scope.

It's not worth the risk.

Short answer: no and no (although I've heard that people have used it on SteamDeck - completely a surprise to me)

I've never dabbled with FreeBSD. It seems to not be supported by Tauri (the GUI wrapper). That said, with the agent binary (written in Go) would probably work.

It's closed source, out of unethical front-running paranoia as I'm building recognition and trust. That said, I'd like to release the agent open source in the future (like Tailscale), which could easily double as a CLI.
politics

That's a lot of words for "I don't like the politics of the people contributing to rust" with a side of "there must be a lot of people like me and they're all very smart". If I'm honest, that doesn't seem terribly professional or realistic.

As someone who's not a compiler guru, I've found contributing to rust (whether rustc or third party crates) to be generally frictionless and overall a pleasant process. It's great to not have to deal with the drama surrounding so many other projects (EGCS anyone?). Quite frankly I'm glad there's no need to hold your nose and put up with RMS' antics.

eject every member of the existing team

What? Ejecting everyone who's built the tool you like because you don't like their politics is preposterous on its face and wildly unprofessional.

Rust bootstrapping is still a problem

There's lots of more advanced optimizations, which would be an interesting avenue for discussion in an interview, but the drain dead algorithm would just use +2 instead of +1
Not much point in giving it a whirl when the resulting images are clearly not something you'd put in your site to show off your work. The problem with this (and glaze, etc) is that it does what it claims by ruining the image it's used on.
You know what, after googling a bit, you are more correct than I thought.

The Ukraine War is responsible for a significant portion of US inflation. Not all, but maybe a third, at its peak.[1]

But as other posters have mentioned, the FED had been telegraphing raising interest rate hikes for months prior to the war. I would wager the acceleration of inflation accelerated their rate hikes, but hikes were coming nonetheless. Russia essentially made a difficult situation much worse.

That said, we can no more end that war than we can invade Russia and force them to withdraw. The best policy going forward is to continue to support an ally who was aggressed upon, one whom we promised to protect in case they were invaded in return for them giving up their nuclear weapons only thirty years ago.[2]

Cars are meaningful because they clearly demonstrate current Hydrogen pricing and technical issues.

Economics isn’t rubbish. Yes you can get X kWh at below Yc/kWh every month, *as long as you are willing to let equipment sit mostly idle. My point about 3c/kWh is simply the point where you can both operate equipment 1/3 of the time in most locations thus minimizing transmission issues, and you aren’t limited by the surplus of the local electricity grid. It’s simply a point of comparison. Sure, you can get

It’s also meaningful when including transportation and all other overhead bunker fuel gives you ~15c/kWh after you burn it, though this varies a lot. https://agtransport.usda.gov/Fuel/Daily-Bunker-Fuel-Prices/y...

Include overhead and green hydrogen generation is currently dramatically more expensive and it needs drastic efficiency gains to be viable. That’s simply the truth.
I appreciate the perspective you've shared about the longer-term history. That's good to keep in mind when I start feeling too cynical/hopeless.

As for books, I wish I did have a recommendation but haven't read anything matching that description.
> Authorities allege that Storm and Semenov knowingly allowed the Lazarus Group to launder money on behalf of the North Korean government in the spring of 2022.

Hard to have any positive viewpoint on these guys if this turns out to be true.
I'd argue that the other aspect is that it abstracts out serialization.

I have a small hobby project (a frontend for a TV tuner device) that originally held channel and EPG data in a few python dicts.

This was clunky because I had to manually JSON-encode them and write them out, and saying "rewrite an entire 500kb config file when just 10 bytes had changed" always felt wrong. (Although, as I gather it, on an SSD, rewriting one byte may as well be the same as the whole file).

I replaced the guts with SQLite in part for that. I figured it's used enough for "we changed one row of 5,000" use cases that it would be optimized for that case. It also made cross-references simpler-- multiple table scans can be chained in a single statement, rather than having to nest queries and pass intermediary results from scan to scan. (For example, some program-guide data is more sensibly cross-referenced by physical channel number, and some by "display" channels, so being able to join in a table that maps the two streamlines stuff)
> In 2020, there were 23.8 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in the US.

How does that compare to 1920, or even 1820 when home births were the norm?

Ask HN: Email and SMS 6 digit codes for client work
This happens a lot. I get a new client and they have 17 different accounts at places like twilio, google, apple, heroku, github, etc. and they are not technical people. They can't handle instructions like "login to heroku and invite me." So they end up sending me their logins and ask me to login as them. But each time there is a 6 digit code send to the client's phone number and sometimes email. Sometimes both! And I have to ask the client for the code. But they are busy, in meetings etc so by the time they give me the code it has expired. How can I make this situation better?
We, as an industry, didn't stop shipping bugs. (Small example: https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/releases)

And that thorough code review prevents bugs is, at best, a debatable assertion. See e.g. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/code-re...

It finds _some_ bugs. CI/CD, and a massive investment in automated testing has probably had the largest impact in moving software quality forward. (See e.g. "Accelerate", Forsgren, Humble & Kim)

Code review is an excellent tool to socialize knowledge and train up more junior engineers, but in terms of preventing bugs, it's low-value.
The attacker would need way more power actually, to send enough requests to flood the server. You only want to get one request in.

If the server can process 10k requests per minute, and you need to send 10 requests per minute, you only need 0.1% as much power.
This is very alarming and a very overreaching thing by the government. These men wrote an open source protocol (smart contract) which was used by random folks to "also" launder money. Its like arresting Tor developers because people host illegal content on it. Leaving this here for more details and reference:

It has not.
They should just tie it to Activation Lock. Make AST 2 (or whatever it is now) available to the public, and allow pairing any component (new or pulled from an old device) as long as it's not already paired to an Activation Locked device.
I could see use cases for galleries posting images of paintings/photos that are for sale in real life, but that they don’t want copies online.
> 7B models can easily fit on a single NVIDIA A10 GPU (24GB memory) or NVIDIA A100 GPU (40GB memory), while 70B doesn’t in either Float16 or even Int8 precision. For the 70B parameter model Llama2-70B-Chat, it’s necessary to distribute the workload across multiple GPUs.

Why aren't they using 4 bit quantization? That should be enough for a single A100.
> The player base was also split between the official server and a bunch of private ones

Weird, I played WoW for a long time and I was never even aware of private servers nor anyone who played on them. I'm almost certain it was against the ToS. When you say the player base was "split", how much of a split are you talking? I can't imagine it was more than 1% of players playing on private servers.
Yes it is.

I like the idea of this conceptually but it feels that I could do all this with github actions. Is it the interactivity and ease of changing the script that is the selling point here?
> tapping directly into the data.

I can't imagine this being particularly pleasant if your data is too large or you want to do anything more complicated than a single SELECT.
I agree with you.

There's a reason so few modern languages are pictographic.
The kind of comment really, really rubs me the wrong way.

Your data isn't locked up in a format. Just use logseq or something if obsidian disappears.

Those who write the code have the right to control its source code. They aren't "inhumane" or thinking "short-term" just because its not open source.
Obesity and the Modern Workplace
For the record, you could also use a much cheaper MCU like e.g. an STM32F030C6 which costs around $0.60 for a single chip and around $0.45 for 30 chips at LCSC the moment. Of course this is completely irrelevant if you build a small number of boards like here, because then you'll probably waste most time with programming the chip and you need the necessary programming connector + tools too.

It would be fun to redesign this board for the lowest manufacturing cost with machine assembly and compare it to how much more expensive it would be to use discrete logic chips.
Different laws come into play when your platform targets monetary transactions as opposed to general purpose data transactions. Tor operates in an entirely different legal landscape.
I prefer a "quarantine" approach testing giant ugly legacy code bases.

You isolate as much of the code as possible behind a well-understood and relatively stable interface. Sometimes that's an API boundary unlikely to change, where you standup a test instance of the app and database. Then begin testing there. Standup a version of the app, test it end-to-end, require all tests to pass before releases. When you fix a bug, ensure a test in this suite comes with it.

Then with that secure perimeter in place, you can (if you so choose / need to) move in to the buggiest parts of the code to refactor and introduce better unit testing.
You let the logging industry in and do sustainable cutting. A popular trope in the 70s-90s was how the logging industry was going to cut down all the worlds trees and we must stop them. If these forests are indeed as vast as you claim I would not worry about it if the logging was done with sustainability in mind.

I'm the same - I don't want to get invested in a service, hand over my email address and other details, etc., only to later find that the price is too high for me, once the free trial has expired.
It seems like so much of the confusion and distrust just comes from using the term "ADHD". Why not just talk about "focus", "motivation", etc.? You can still SEO the shit out of your product with more terms like "ADHD", "dopamine", "discipline", etc. and not have to wade through all this vitriol associated with insinuating licensed treatment of a medical disorder as a hook / marketing ploy.

If you want to do it in the digital domain, FPGA is the obvious choice to go with here. It'd be difficult to get enough channels connected to a 'custom' design any other way, but yes the learning curve will be steep if you go that route.

There is enough bandwidth on a USB 2.0 HS port for many channels of audio, you could just buy a couple decent multichannel USB 2.0 HS audio interfaces. They are pretty readily available with 8 in / 8 out (mono) channels in one box for a few hundred bucks. You can plug these into a RPi and it probably has enough grunt to do the processing using JACK or pipewire or some similar audio router with some custom code to manage it. Full-pipeline latency could be problematic, especially if you need to stay in sync with the TV and whatnot that is pretty noticeable and often can't be compensated. This is probably the simplest way to get something that 'works-ish' though. People use similar (smaller) setups for realtime room/speaker compensation filters and it seems to work alright, and this application isn't too far off from that. In fact, you might want to do that too.

There's an analog solution too, your RPi or microcontroller can manage an array of variable gain amplifiers (using a slow / cheap multichannel DAC) or programmable gain amplifiers (directly with I2C or SPI) which form the inputs to a traditional summing mixer circuit. Then you don't need to worry about processing some dozens of megabits of audio data with low-ms of latency and just need to set appropriate gains, but the analog design is a bit more complicated. Still, this is IMO much easier than an ADC -> FPGA -> DAC pipeline.

Prototyping SMT parts you can either buy protoboards with the chip mounted and pins for use with a breadboard, SparkFun and AdaFruit make tons of modules like this, or try AliExpress, and you can find devboards for pretty much any microcontroller or FPGA too. If the chip you need to work with doesn't have such a board available, you can get generic breakout boards for most SMT packages and solder the chips on yourself. It's not that difficult, though it takes decent equipment and a bit of practice. Having custom PCBs made is also super cheap now, and that is how I would recommend approaching this, if you're willing to tackle the soldering challenge and don't' mind the somewhat long iteration cycle as you wait for boards to arrive from Asia (or don't mind paying for premium shipping or a more-local manufacturer).
And how the HN code of conduct (well, these guidelines being the nearest thing to) doesn't describe or even mention "hurtful or harmful conduct", nor "gender" or "behaviour".

I don't buy the GP argument at all. But you have to take into consideration that most code is similar. All the code in a project when put together may be unique but snippets of code in one project - which is what presumably chatgpt is giving you - is not all that unique. Claiming ownership over that is somewhat meaningless.
It is worth noting that the day after December 2, 1872 was January 1, 1873. That's when Japan switched to the Julian Calendar. August 8 before that was... in September.

I have asked up front if people attach timelines to their offers or use exploding offers and just decline to interview. Those offers are, in my experience, always less competitive.
Chinese and Japanese's version are the same (in this case). Just different translation.

Actually, neither "Heat starts to die down" nor "Heaven and Earth begin to Withdraw" is a good interpretation of 天地始肅.

"Heaven and Earth begin to Withdraw" is a very literal translation. In this case, 天地 = everything = everthing growing from the ground, so 天地始肅 means plants are no longer sprouting.

"Heat starts to die down" is not a translation. Just a convenient English paraphrase.
Yes, they do imply different root causes. PTSD requires a root cause of experiencing trauma. ADHD is not PTSD because it is not caused by trauma, and therefore therapy to deal with childhood trauma will not benefit people with ADHD.

It is, however, very true that they can look the same. I work with kids who have been through trauma and it is only on the order of years since people started recognizing that in these kids, many ADHD symptoms were caused by trauma and could be reduced or go away entirely with trauma-specific therapy.
The irony is that fixing the acid rain situation actually started to make the planet hotter with less sulfur in the upper atmosphere.

I appreciate that and will be forever grateful to you personally from now on when I hit ^S, but I just never thought to search the Help for it, since I figured something so critical would surely not have been omitted from the footer menu if it existed!

That article is from 2018.
Tone policing is not really the best move here, especially considering all the hubbub is specifically around a medical term that seems to have been inserted as a hook instead of as a meaningful signifier of the kinds of services the company purports to provide. If tone policing were appropriate anywhere it would be in the marketing lingo and copy of the company in question.
Aside from whether intent is signalled or not, I would imagine courts may want to identify whether it is reasonable for any particular intent to not be honored in any particular set of circumstances. As you say, robots.txt isn't mandatory to be honored by itself. Perhaps other things might make it so? I don't know.

I have a fairly cramped home office. I realise I'm much more productive in large open areas despite no monitors or mechanical keyboards. I don't actually move into these areas, I just sit/stand at my desk much of the time.

I'm wondering if there might be a lifehack of going into a virtual space to get more space. Has anyone tried this?
Technically, the opening brace is needed in C to support K&R style function declarations which apparently were still legal in C11 at least, but I doubt that's a feature anyone wants to replicate in a new language.
