Different things workout for different people. I was overwhelmed by so many ways to do things in Python and everybody teaching their own favourite way of doing things. Similarly, all I was learning was the syntax and no problem solving skills.

Then I cam across the book How to Design Programs aka HTDP. I was skeptical at first. But I eventually started and worked through the second edition of the book available freely at https://www.htdp.org .

It was so beautiful. The teaching languages and writing examples before writing code. It made me really understand programming.

Now I can pick up any language (not that I become a language expert overnight) in a short time. I only need to map the concepts to this new language. And that's that. I can even pattern match my ideas from higher order functions to imperative looping constructs.

I have another book in to TDR list. It is Norvig's Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming.
The way I think of a container:

It's an individual OS with a filesystem of its own, based on the "image" and what is pre-installed (such as an OS, plus, if you choose: some extras pre-installed based on your project need.).

You can link your laptop or server (AKA your "host" computer) to it through Docker Volumes. And, you can link containers together through Docker Networks, for example.

So, you can see how a single compartmentalized OS (a "container") can: 1. interact with another computer's file system and 2. interact with another computer on a network. And, each one can be quite customized.

So, a container is an OS + filesystem* + network*

* = can be connected to others to transfer data
And if those prices become outrageous then someone will spin up new messaging/conferencing apps.
Sorry, I have to side with OpenAI here.

What ChatGPT is producing is more like a Cliffs Notes summary --- and not a particularly good one in many cases. If this is a derivative work, then so is any book report produced by a student.

At best, the author may be due the purchase price of one copy of the book if OpenAI can't produce a receipt. But not many actual purchasers could do the same so the burden of proof for infringement may be on the author.

There is a term in business for this I can’t remember. Where basically your money comes from business process X and so you protect X at all costs. Which makes it very difficult to innovate away from supporting X. It’s almost impossible for a company to pivot to making their money from Y. You see this classically in things like Sears, Woolworths etc. unable to keep up with the times.

The solution to this seems to be to basically start a new company in your company completely separate from your core company more or less. Meta seems to have initially done this very well with their pivot from Facebook to Instagram. Perhaps less great in their metaverse pivot but we’ll see. Google set themselves up for success at this with alphabet but I don’t think we’ve really seen them be able to have something they feel like they can really pivot into yet so business X continues to be the focus.
Nah, the source is for the maximums for fraud and hacking. Should have clarified.
Agreed. I use it in the same way and it allows discovery of "similar" books. I love it for that. I comment occasionally on the author's I follow. For example, Boris does a lot of reading and review of horror genre books, so I comment on his reviews letting him know if his review helped me to get the book in question or not. That way he knows "someone" is reading his reviews. That's about the extent.

I don't understand why one of the first priorities for NASA and the moon isn't a satellite communications systems designed for the moon.

I truly believe that NASA would fare much better if they focused on regulation, deep space research, and communication. They already do the first 2, but for some reason, they neglect communication.

They build these fantastic probes, but then don't build out a communication network. This *despite the fact that they have people like Vint Cerf at their disposal !! This just boggles my mind.

Once they build out for the moon, they could have a blueprint for deep space, while still being easy enough to iterate on designs (the moon being a much closer and easier to reach target, thereby reducing the development/test/feedback loop, as they wouldn't have to wait 6+ months for travel time.

I use Goodreads almost every day and it's a great way to keep track of what I've read, how I liked it, and my notes about it.

Occasionally it's interesting to see what my friends are reading.

That's it.

I certainly have complaints about the site but I think the author's hyperbole here is a bit much.

And as for the ratings and reviews which the author seems hyper focused on - I've generally observed the opposite, ratings on pretty much everything are suspiciously high. I'd be willing to bet that 90% of the books on the platform have a rating above 3 / 5.
One thing I wish I'd been told more about when first diagnosed was the possibility of prolonging the honeymoon period. It was decades ago, and back then the advice was to eat a fairly normal diet and just dose as much insulin as needed.

If I was back in that position I'd go low carb high exercise from the start, and do everything I could to reduce my insulin requirements as much as possible. There are cases of new T1s coming of insulin completely, or just a low basal dose for multiple years.
Was this written by a machine? It looks cogent, but its comprehension feels pretty off if you look closely. I.e. it refers to the bulk elements comprising lunar regolith – aluminum, oxygen, etc. – as "traces". Or that odd line about "faster than traditional sample returns".

Or "The instrument’s success highlights Chandrayaan-3’s potential for unlocking lunar secrets through creative engineering." What??
The earth is getting warmer. To try to guilt people about it achieves nothing. The only action humanity can take at this point is to predict the effects of global warming and build infrastructure to slow it down, mitigate it or plan for the mass migrations.
Yeah, I think the project was pretty naive.

I think there has been a somewhat conceited attitude among the Swedish political class to assume that Swedish values and ideals are an inevitable logical conclusion from enlightenment, and if someone doesn't share these values, it's because the poor souls haven't been informed of the correct way to think yet, and when encountering superior Swedish values, they willingly abandon their unenlightened opinions and assume the enlightened values of Sweden in their place.

Well as it turns out these values are a logical conclusion only if you've been indoctrinated in them since you were a toddler.

It depends on the spacecraft. DSN is currently talking with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter at 1 Mbit/s (https://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html, select MRO, click "more detail" in the bottom-left).
> It's insane to "throw" hundred of billions of USD for Artemis and not invest 1 billion for the comms infrastructure.

Perhaps, but that's largely not in NASA's control; Congress appropriates money for specific purposes. NASA can't legally go grab Artemis money and shift it over to DSN.
that's because most of the "criminals" who end in prison are really victims of their society which failed them; their actions are usually impulsive, not calculated, so deterrence is largely useless. True criminals (those who do shit in cold blood for money and power) rarely go to prison.

I mean they won right?

The competitive advantage the bundling has given them is enormous.

And while un-bundling it now will stop "additional benefits" it won't in any form remove the benefits they already got.

E.g. companies which are on a bundled plan and use both are now used to it and their cross integrations (which won't go away) so as long as it's price wise competitive with other solutions they likely will keep it and now pay for both.

As long as anit-monpoly low doesn't 1) penalizes based on the long term benefits gained 2) shifts more to anti-massiv-power-abuse laws in their phrasing/formulation/public discourse we will just see stuff like that happening again and again. We sadly life in a world where huge companies braking the law is the norm as long as it's expected to yield them noticeable more money then the fall out through penalties and publicity. And that isn't just limited to vague laws like monopoly power abuse, e.g. Ubers operation is quite not so fully legal in a lot of countries.

Full agreement, and with the addition of xpk¹/xfd² as natural extensions to that extensibility too. I see things like xfd supporting xz¹, and I'm simultaneously amazed that it exists and happy that I don't need to do xz {,de}compression on 68k ;)

I guess we have the essence of something similar-ish with libarchive⁴, but nobody(including me) has pushed the extra mile to get file dialogs to support random compression and decompression formats.

If you look at it from a proprietary software company (which is what Hashicorp is now), it's totally expected and understandable. Why should they spend money supporting extra load on their infrastructure from people that are not directly paying for that? It makes perfect sense.

Is it short-sighed? If you think they will go down in market share from now on, yes. But Hashicorp probably thinks it won't or it wouldn't have made the change in the first place. For them, it's all the way up from here.

I built myself https://www.candlapp.com/ which runs the fifth year already. Specifically because as a book worm, I have an urge to track what I read and plan, follow favorite authors, etc., but have zero interest in social stuff.
I used to use this as a mild form of spam detection, like people do with "+" email aliases, by adding something to the "what do you want us to call you?" field that was specific to the site.

Then, if I started getting spam to that name, I knew who sold me out.

It was especially useful for physical spam mail that wasn't coming to an email address. I discovered quite quickly which magazine gave all my info to every company that wanted it.

I built a prototype similar in concept to this, where you can just abbreviate arbitrarily, doing whatever, and ChatGPT fixes it after each sentence.

It’s decently accurate (although very annoying when it misses), but I found that even when it’s working perfectly, using it is just way more cognitive effort than typing normally. Concentrating very hard, I could just about match my normal casual typing speed while using the abbreviations, but I couldn’t beat it, and I found myself just gravitating back to normal typing.

That said, I’m a fast typist, and I write a lot, so I’m trying to make a prototype beat a process in my brain that has been intensively optimized over 30 years or so. It might work better with someone who isn’t a fast typist in the first place.
Yes. I still buy everything I can on BD (or DVD as a fallback)[1], and nearly every release has separate stereo and surround mixes for the primary language of the film. Sometimes even for multiple languages.

I assume only having one audio mix on streaming services is a cost-cutting measure, like how most streaming services seem to omit professionally-produced subtitles from third-party content in favour of awful phonetic subtitles they produce themselves using ML or similar.

[1] So I'll still have it when obscure content is inevitably removed from streaming services, for the higher picture quality, and for the finer-grained playback control.
Man, all people who can not clearly communicate are nuts to some degree. Your parents were nuts, that coworker is nuts. Always communicate, always close communication circles. Why do you think they say "copy that" in military? Your parents should have said that more often to each other ;-)

I am not saying to argue with antagonists. They just argue because they are bored, not because they want to solve anything. I have had the best results by clearly stating the fact: "You do not interest. Go away."
Can you explain the choice of JS over TS?
> public opinion would still make it palatable to continue hydrocarbon fuels extraction for another 2 to 3 decades

I don't think it's public opinion so much as it is necessity to maintain current standards of living for the next few decades. Renewable energy is still a relatively small fraction of overall energy use, and net global oil consumption has been steadily increasing the past few years (likely to surpass pre-covid levels this year). Our society is still very much addicted to hydrocarbons.

My current employer "requested" everyone within 1 hour of the office to come in 2 days a week, and did it with integrity and powered by data. They spent significant time and money making sure things like meeting room technology accommodates remote attendees.

Life is really easy compared to 100 years ago. The trajectory is up - and short of a few nukes, EMPs, and global war the trend line is going up in almost every part of the world - compared to the previous generations.

I don't think we need to bend over backwards to avoid any kind of criticism of this project. It's clearly a personal passion project and nobody is saying it is less than "fine". I guess it's an American norm to be very circumspect about any kind of negative appraisal.

It takes time and training to pull off design like this, and while it might work as a fun infographic, it is not as polished or beautiful as it could be. There is room for improvement.

As far as the "graphic design POV" goes, that involves intuitive assessments of things like negative space, colour, and density of graphic elements and text. It involves things like the five Gestalt principles, or the CARP principles, although these are not prescriptions that anyone can follow. They're more like rationalisations of what has been found to work.
Of course, nobody was going to give Crimea to them in this case. But they could end up with Medvedchuk and all the remaining regions, some of them in federative state. The thing is, every next option they get is progressively worse.

> it should be desirable for other countries to be independent

So you are OK with some other people dying so that you have a pleasant feeling about them.
Much like when you read in a newspaper how a brave tourist has resisted the thugs who tried to rob him. But the actual good advice to tourists is to stay out of trouble, and if it is already happening, try not to die by complying.

Anything that got you in a brawl with local thugs over your fancy camera is bad advice.

It's not that I think countries should not be independent and get subjugated by their bigger neighbours. It's just they should find a way to do this in a smart fashion and without full scale war. Ukraine is actually getting subjugated by their bigger neighbour right now. The policy you recommend led to an outcome that you find undesirable. Then you say the policy is not to blame, the outcome could not be avoided in the first place.

About giving veto rights to investors?
Friends @hackernews,
We are raising a new round of investment.
We agreed with investors on other deal terms such as ROFR, ROFO, Drag Along, tag along, information and inspection rights.
But investor is asking for veto rights on several matters. This investor is getting 7%, but there are already two groups of investors who hold together 18% of equity. These other investors do not have veto rights.
We are offering them a solution that the reserved matters shall be resolved through simple majority. But they are not agreeing.
Is Veto right given in such cases? Should we give it? What's your experience?
Would appreciate your thoughts, inputs, anecdotes.
