TL-DR:
1) don't hack.
2) if you hack, don't get caught.
3) if you hack and get caught, be in a country that you can bribe yourself out of the mess (definitely not Germany!)
4) don't destroy other people's hard work, it's not nice.
- Karaoke: a friend of mine did a monthly outing to a karaoke bar and invited me along. It turned into a great friend group as well as a fun skill to practice, and now I host karaoke parties and write karaoke software.

- Theater: got into it in middle school and never looked back. The way to get into it now is either to just audition for community shows, or take classes somewhere.

I have found that cooking, building furniture, sewing and other forms of craft are interesting for the same reasons coding is interesting, but without a group of friends who do that stuff I've found it hard to maintain momentum.
and then there's "flip a coin" about whether it's "AWS Foo" or "Amazon Foo". I think I once read that Amazon Foos were things that were used internally, too, and AWS Foos were things only sold to pay for rocket fuel and yachts (I kid, I kid; paying for all those Graviton fabs is some serious $$$ too)
I don't think 10USD/month for access to a forum is anywhere near cheap or even reasonable, no matter how big it is. I can't imagine anyone paying that for non-warez Usenet access.
It's 1h15m from where I am, waaay back in the corner of San Jose. Most of the bay area is closer, so this should be the upper bound unless you drive really slowly
That seems rather expensive given the service being provided, i.e. read-write access to a text-only discussion board. Where's all the cost going?
The semester I took CS61B (data structures), my grade on the final was 21, out of 100. The average grade was 16, and the highest score was 35.

I'm surprised languages aren't more of a focus in the LLM hype. They're like if Rosetta Stone ads were true. They translate at state of the art levels, but you can also give and ask for context, and they're trained on native resources and culture. There hasn't been a jump in machine translation this big and fast, ever.
My hobby is journalling, my writing or note keeping is simplistic writing of ideas about software that feel interesting to me. I've been journalling in the open since 2013. I am interested in parallelism, multithreading, coroutines, programming language design and implementation.

Writing helps me think and really satisfying. Writing is thinking.

I hope you choose to do something good and positive for your spirit and full of love - something that gets you away from the computer screen, such as study God.

It depends on context, but I have found the opposite.

"Have you thought about this approach" can come across as condcending. Of course I thought about that, it was the first thing I tried before the much more complicated solution that actually works.

"Why didn't you do it this way" invites them to share the war story of what happened when they tried doing that.

I use a variety of AWS services every day. I actually got a higher score than I was expecting.
Oh hell I have spent the last decade working with AWS and I still have no idea what any of the icons are. They are all complete shit. Literally the worst.

To be fair I can't remember half the product names other than the core ones either. Elastic Banana or whatever. Maybe Dynamo Donkey. I just don't know any more.

Edit: I'm also an AWS Architect Professional or whatever it's called now. Shows how a monkey can pass the certs eh?
>> I disagree with the "ask first" suggestion.

I've found two types of organizations.

1. Organizations where folks doing great work are given more work.

2. Organizations where folks doing great work are given more responsibility, coached, and put on a path to promotion or tangible recognition.

For workers in type-1 organizations, they may fear they will just get assigned more work with no added benefit. Sometimes the work assigned should be done by others who arent doing their own share.

Well, blindly espousing the benefits and design goals of the current system's design is also a glaringly obvious lean, it's effectively an endorsement of the status quo, especially when you do it to literal children!

it's actually quite problematic to go presenting civics as "wow, our system of checks and balances, how wonderful!" and ignore the part where overuse of checks and balances and requiring supermajority control of every single branch and chamber of government to do anything produces grinding deadlock and inability to respond to changing situations and an overall changing world. The benefit (prevent rash action and ensure control of a single branch/chamber/etc does not lead to negative outcomes) are effectively being presented while the downside is not, and people then go on to blindly chant these merits in their adult life and political life too.

Things like the president being elected (rather than the leader of the party) also result in these "split government" outcomes that can also leave the government paralyzed, even if they increase the "expressiveness" of the political outcomes.

Optimizing for a system where nobody is in the drivers seat has always struck me as a baffling design goal. Would you ever have a ship (or even a hospital operating room) with nobody in command? Perhaps it would be better to optimize for somebody being in the driver seat but then try to optimize the system so their actions are representative of the public's desires/needs, rather than simply optimizing for inaction and assuming inaction is usually best. We can always try again at the next election, but having 30-40% of the public able to drag the whole system to a halt is a bad design even if it springs from well-intentioned goals.

Obviously not a third-grade civic lesson but for high-schoolers or AP civics/history courses? yeah, it probably should be discussed. But then, this also bumps into people who don't want citizens to receive training on critical thought in the first place, when that might lead to questioning authority (civic, religious, family, or otherwise).

I think this is a situation where if the ideas are so fundamentally and obviously good, then they should be able to withstand a little bit of discussion and debate, no?
Speaking of the US alone, which already has an incredibly stigma on relying on handouts, those programs can be tricky to qualify for. A couple with one child can only qualify for WIC with an household income under 45k in California.

But stepping back, I think you are missing the forest for the trees here. I don't think people are actively abstaining from having children like the OP is, but I don't think you are treating people as capable of making responsible, informed decisions. How do you arrive at the calculus that, in the US, someone would desperately desire children so much that they would opt to go on government assistance? Who is that person to you?
at my job, it's part of company culture to praise people publicly whenever they're doing great work. it's a great way of knowing you're on the right path.
... which means ISO 8601 cannot deal with timezones but only UTC offsets - which are temptingly useful but fundamentally broken.

Including fixed UTC offsets was a massive mistake and it should have never happened. Anything except named timezones is useless.

Anyway, too much censorship people complain LLMs are unusable. Too little, LLMs are a harm.

Maybe people experiencing the LLMs should learn how they can't be trusted and gain a healthy dose of skepticism along the way. I for one am running uncensored llama2 locally after giving up on mouth-taped waste-my-time policy parot LLMs run by corporations. Discernment is the skill we need to teach ourselves and the children the most. Screw censorship.
You sound wishy washy and you need to review your requirements, and/or rope in someone who does knows how to do it right in that case.

There is nothing wrong with "this doesn't feel right but I don't have the capacity to tell". If you aren't qualified for that sort of code review, find the proper peer who can.
The shit sandwich approach...

But yeah if you're a person who's only capable of complaining and criticizing others (assuming it's perfectly legitimate/reasonable) you might struggle communicating with most people who don't know you really well/are used to different culture.

Currently, birding. Got really into it in 2021 since it pretty much runs in the family. I feel that observing the lives of our fellow creatures helps me really destress and put my mind off work. Interestingly, I find that birding while walking in the nature works better in this regard than just walking in the nature.

Ask HN: Simple MySQL admin tool that can import CSV?
Hi. I'm basically looking for Adminer for MySQL, which looks and feels more modern and can run from Docker (which is why phpmyadmin doesn't fit). Don't need schema, just need to be able to add/edit/delete rows, and import them from CSV.

I've tried:

* Get Motor Admin: No CSV import

* Busibase: This one is the best of what I've tried. But when there is any issue with the CSV it just gives you a generic "Something went wrong", and you have to fish for the actual reason in dev console, which isn't very user-friendly.

* Nocodb: Doesn't connect to an existing DB

* Directus: Doesn't connect to an existing DB

* AppSmith: Doesn't import CSV

* OpenBlocks: Doesn't import CSV

There's definitely 2-3 more that I forgot about and I'm a bit of a mess rn after trying this for the entire day so the issues I've specified might be a little off. But I could not find a simple tool, that looks reasonably modern, where I can just tell it where my MySQL DB is, have it display tables, have it import stuff from a CSV, have it run in Docker. Is there anything out there? Thanks
Reddit Taken to San Francisco Court for Firing Worker with Anxiety
Excellent article, thanks for the link.
This comment is pretty funny in the context of someone starting out by claiming no cares “whether it meets your personal definition of "self driving".”
Not holding the buyer accountable creates perverse incentives: The buyer is incentivized to buy the cheapest ones even if the buyer suspects it's fraudulent crap, and the seller is incentivized to provide the solution that reduces the most net emissions for the money on paper - and then when caught, the profit has already been distributed and the company is long gone/bankrupt.

By holding the buyer accountable, buyers have an incentive to verify that what they're buying is actually real, so the $50/ton project that provides real reductions and can prove it suddenly becomes competitive with the $10/ton project that everyone expects to be a fraud.

Also, the objective isn't to create a security. The objective is to reduce emissions. A market full of fraud does not achieve that, while forcing someone to actually deliver what was promised does. I agree that the buyer should be able to demand reimbursement for the cost from the seller, but by holding both accountable, the chance that someone actually will be held accountable increases a lot.
Agreed, thanks for the clarifications. Another result worth mentioning, which also shows that you cannot hope to uniquely characterize a structure by "reasonable" axioms is the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem which predates Godel's incompleteness (although the history of these results is somewhat convoluted).

There, the obstacle is in some sense of a simplest nature: if your set of axioms admits a countable model, then it admits models of all infinite cardinalities. In other words, it shows that there is something fundamentally impossible in trying to capture an infinite structure (like numbers) by finite means (e.g. recursively axiomatizable).

I started 5 years ago, with some prior knowledge of music from being a kid.

Oh, and now I can play with people, to people. I started in my mom's retirement home - she loved it, and other residents too, and even the staff, because all the residents would be so quite after that... and now that I play better I can play to my friends, family..

It changed my life.

For me too. Though it’s more DIY in general (plumbing, electrics, decorating etc too).

Built myself a shed from scratch earlier in the summer as a warm up for building a garden office.

Currently have the roof off the porch (somewhat regrettably given the state the summer in the uk) because the ivy got to it before we purchased the house and it was rotting away. Having to learn a new set of skills around tiling hip rafters. Thank the Lord for YouTube!

It’s amazing the number of tools you end up needing as you go along. Though a circular saw and an impact driver will take you a long way.

I'm in the same boat, but I like recording too so I got a "digital 8 track" that can completely replace a DAW and allows me to record my acoustic or electric instrument or my voice, and edit the recording, and mix it down into a final product, all on the device.

If you have any interest in recording & want to maintain the part where you stay away from the computer/workbench while you play music, I cannot more strongly recommend a digital 8-track recorder. It's been life-changing for me.

Problem is that you don't know what others want and it takes time to establish that. Even then they may not necessarily know what they want. People change their minds.

It's a rule of thumb regardless. not an ironclad rule. generally, people want to be treated respectfully, so treat them respectfully and course correct if cultural/social lines demand it.
The phrase is “I won’t die on that hill”. It references the pointless meat grinders of the Vietnam war. There is no corollary hill worth dying on.

If you still want to throw your life away on a meaningless endeavor do not bring me along with you. Talking to management can and will hurt people. Do not make decisions for others without their consent.
You are probably right, but maybe not quite for the reasons you imagine... many of the dams in the northwest run at only a tiny percentage of their possible output because increasing their productivity could have poor outcomes for fish, etc. So they have already ratcheted back much of their output as a compromise. But - we also have a lot of anti-solar, anti-wind people who try to block those projects for reasons I would call unscientific and emotional. So you can't outright replace the dams just yet either. The dams are also really good at providing a base load, as even when the wind doesn't blow that water just keeps moving.

> > This can be replaced with thermal water splitting from nuclear power

> How so?

If you hear water above ~800 Celsius it'll split into hydrogen and oxygen. A catalyst can make this happen at lower temperatures. Nuclear power can heat water, run it through this catalyst, to produce hydrogen.

Electrolysis is no doubt more expensive than steam reformation, but the point is that alternatives do exist and can be done if enough investments are made.

"Sustainable fertilizers" fundamentally needs some source of nitrogen. The amount we can get from manure is nowhere near sufficient, so carbon neutral replacements to steam reformation are needed. In short, electrolysis and thermal water splitting are the answer to the question, "how do we get sustainable fertilizers?"
The problem is the incentives for any ad-supported profit-driven social network and the incentives on "what makes a social network good for users" are basically a venn diagram that's two circles that touch about 2% in the center.

What? Why does that mean team communication tool must be bundled with office tools?

They’re hardly “just adding features” to existing software. It not like teams is just a “feature” in Word or Excel, it’s entirely separate. Do you think that Office and Teams should be bundled with Windows as well? So your only option is to pay a subscription for windows, and get Office and Teams “for free”?
Give me some authoritative statistics that show otherwise.
My instinct was to agree with the comment above, but after giving it a few minutes I think I'd rather have a moderated "soulless" HN.

It seems to me that there is a fine line between innocent jokes and full-blown juvenile behaviour. The amount of effort you would need to invest into sustaining such a place is not worth it, best to just not allow it at all. There are plenty of places where you can get your dose of jokes and fun. One thing that keeps immature and rude people away is precisely the "dullness" that the post above speaks of. People get tired and move on, leaving the place clean and tidy for others to use.

HN has problems of course; downvote bullying is one of them. I'm not saying HN is perfect, but I'd rather not turn it into Reddit or Youtube. So I don't know where this leaves HN between the "pub" and "commercial street".
