I think a big part of the problem is how online education and bootcamps/college degrees for web-dev are structured. Often times people are so overwhelmed with the stack they are supposed to learn that quite obvious and important stuff gets lost. People just try things out until it works without understanding the underlying structure. If you come from a simpler MVC framework like Rails or Laravel, it enables you to focus on the really important stuff first, and explore from there. It is also much more rewarding to see some solid results early.

Wow, the whole thing was interesting, but that insight was the most interesting.
Yeah, as I said if the buyer makes a good faith payment in cash and if the seller didn't inform him beforehand they don't take cash then the onus is presumably on the seller to take it or leave it because the buyer is willing to do his part and make the pie whole.

Usually this isn't a problem because "We don't take cash." signs are prominently posted, but we are speaking in the hypothetical after all.
It's just a different podcast. I have listened a little bit to Cortex and it seems like a very self-referential podcast, it's about their business life which is their podcasts.
Another interesting clue about this might be when the tax freedom day is each year. In Austria that's 5th of August. The interpretation is that people work until 5th of August for the state.

> Thinking about the event loop opens up a can of worms I find more confusing than useful.

Probably for daily usage this might be true, but there are definitely cases when you're using JavaScript and not understanding the event loop makes it hard to understand why things are happening. Example:

setTimeout(() => console.log('hello'), 0)
console.log('world')

You'd normally expect this to print "hello" and then "world" since the "sleep time" for the setTimeout is set to 0, but thanks to the event loop, the result will be "world" and "hello". Very simple example, but in real life code bases and beginner JavaScript developers, in can be confusing at times.
Similar to their Rosetta Stone disk, if we store enough data to decide just the first content. Like TOC, some intros, etc, and some instructions on how to build a rudimentary device to read/decide the next, more compressed, digital bits of info, so that after accessing this second level data, you could gradually build better devices to decode more if the library.
So some data can remain unretrievable without going through the first steps, but it would still be accessible.

Crazy how all of a sudden AI gets involved.

> "If done properly, AI can open up whole new methods by which games can be made accessible. You know, imagine a video game that could automatically adapt its mechanics and adapt its difficulty to a player's individual abilities and skill, no matter what the disability."

What's interesting is that this doesn't seem related to any of the recent AI buzz. I cannot imagine an LLM performing this task, nor any of the computer vision or image generation stuff. In fact, adaptive difficulty has been a (controversial) thing in games for awhile. So maybe it means "AI" in the same sense that a computer player in Street Fighter is an "AI"?
While I think the evidence of man-made climate change is 100% irrefutable we need to be careful and not attribute every event to climate change. That's how you lose credibility. Even if you're right, people get sick of hearing it at a certain point. That matters.

Consider [1]:

> One of the most surprising findings was that the shifts from cold stadials to the warm interstadial intervals occurred in a matter of decades, with air temperatures over Greenland rapidly warming 8 to 15°C (Huber et al. 2006)

I guarantee you these sudden warmings also caused problems for many species.

Bad years will happen for breeding. This is particularly a problem for species who all breed in one place. One failed season almost certainly isn't the end or the species already wouldn't exist. Also, species will inevitably go extinct (as 99% of the species we've ever had have).

There is more happening than switch-cases though, evident even from your link (it mentions Promises but doesn't provide the implementation for it).

I think what another comment mentioned is more accurate:

> Asnyc/await is just syntactic sugar for promises.

> Promises are just wrappers around callbacks.

> Callbacks are used to hook functions into an event loop. The dispatching/scheduling is handled there.

> So really when you use async/await, you’re just writing pseudo-sequential code that gets turned into callback code.

Hi,

I have over 20 years in the industry starting out as a Linux SysAdmin / Network Engineer and now doing more Systems / Low level Programming, R&D, and occasional DevOps.

Looking for opportunities involving low level / embedded systems / backend software development. Happy to also do automation / SysAdmin / DevOps as well. Although not my forte, I like to do robust automated testing / QA for software to ensure they meet (potentially undocumented) requirements.
> Scientists have recorded significant decreases in sea ice around Antarctica since 2016. While there have been small rebounds in recent years, they remain far below the record high of 2014.

The record high was only nine years ago? That seems like a weird fact, and it needs some explaining. Also, the first sentence:

> no chicks surviving the spring of 2022 in four of five colonies observed for a new study

Is waaaaay more alarmist than the later reveal of “about 30 per cent of emperor penguin colonies across the Antarctic coastline had been impacted by the low sea ice.” The first sentence makes it sound like they’re gonna be extinct in a year or two. 70% of the colonies being totally unaffected is a much different story.

Anyway, this is still an important story. But the authors are doing themselves no favors running around with their hair on fire like this.
A nice, high school level writeup of how to calculate this product with ordinary vectors, but it totally drops the ball on the necessity and its use in physics. It would probably be best to ignore the entire last paragraph and instead read up on pure vs. mixed quantum states if you actually care about that.
This is very cool. The sound quality when recording is however very bad for me, compared to just plain web mic recording.

There was a physicist (Feynman?) who once joked that his job would have been much harder if particles had free will.

But there are regular experiments that are run in the realm of economics and various models make different predictions. It turns out that tax cuts don't pay for themselves, as some say:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_experiment

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act

Turns out QE wouldn't devalue the currency and cause hyperinflation (as some said it would):

> We believe the Federal Reserve's large-scale asset purchase plan (so-called "quantitative easing") should be reconsidered and discontinued. We do not believe such a plan is necessary or advisable under current circumstances. The planned asset purchases risk currency debasement and inflation, and we do not think they will achieve the Fed's objective of promoting employment.

Turns out that austerity is not expansionary (i.e., cutting government demand/spending does not grow the economy; see Chart 2):

There are certainly areas where things can get complicated and there's room for debate, but in other areas the mechanisms are understood.

Just because some folks choose to go with ideology over accurate models does not mean we don't have accurate models: is it the fault of medicine that some people say vaccines and masks don't work for ideological reasons?
I used generators in the way you described in your last paragraph. And I added the possibility to "replay" the generators with the previous inputs except the last one. It provides a cheap way to have a kind of multi-step input process with cancellation.
I am using actual TiVos. Roamio with a multi-stream cable card and some satellite TiVo minis. I have no cable company owned equipment in my house (other than the cable card) for TV, phone, and internet that I get from cable.

Finland has a higher quality of state provided services, and they have no oil. Norway definitely has made a speedrun towards a welfare state, but Finland is the opposite example: not an old European power with generations of wealth, no single easily exploitable resource other than forests.
Pointing out a few app vendors simply isn't impressive. Of course some app vendors can take a stand against mid-tier governments. It's great marketing for them, and the corporate risk isn't so high. It's the platform vendors which have much at stake.

And of the three big platform vendors, two of them already scan private photos for CSAM right now — Google and Microsoft. Yet nobody is outraged because nobody actually cares. There's no logical consistency. Google and Microsoft can implement scanning and there's no outrage. Apple went to great lengths to tell everyone exactly what they were proposing to do before they did it, and all the online people are outraged and calling Apple untrustworthy. Sure, whatever.
Let's stop pretending "peer-reviewed" means anything, please.
It's great that you can tell the mathematical contexts from the written language contexts, but can screen readers?

If I have the equation ax + by + c = 0, ideally a screen reader would read it as "a-x plus b-y plus c equals zero", not "axe plus bye plus ku equals zero". This is not a problem printed books have because printed books do not need to read themselves, and audio books do not have this problem because there's a human in the loop doing the reading. But these are not the only uses that matter.

It is not society that wants you to give up privacy, it is a few rech giants, and all the small wannabes, that want you to. And they are basically able to, since those tech giants control all online aspects of modern society.

What worries me isn't so much that data is lost, or even is thrown away, but rather it's being actively buried because it's hidden behind a commercially-driven search-based interface that deprioritizes old, information-rich but less-entertaining and certainly less-profitable media. Searching for anything has regressed to the mean of what SEO and ad dollars want to show you.
Come on, there is only a 0% chance that your statement is also 100% certain. It depends a lot on what you classify as gamer and disabled, and as the article also says who identifies as such (and sure how good the survey was)... but by whatever some metric I would assume it is not too far from reality.

And I strongly resonate... the last time I'd really identify as a gamer was during youth and studies, maybe. Now I lack the time and rarely game. But I had good times still, especially with an egoshooter clan first and also kind of addictive MMORPGs, and always think: when I'm on pension, or something bad hits that isolates or disables me and there is not much more to do and I'd be despaired, I'd try to find my way back into such a community, for the social aspect as well as entertainment, gives me some hope for that unthinkable situations

> I think television has had a massive effect

It started with radio. With national networks.

Broadcast TV continued that, but cable meant TV no longer controlled by local folks with their local accents and opinions.

TV anchors all learn to spike with a bland accent. And now Sinclair's "local" stations have tightly scripted news, so local news is becoming more of a simulacrum of national news.

As I jokingly typed this comment I googled to see how much methane was released per day by a human and there’s actually quite a bit of interest in it.

The post buried the lede that the pedestrian bridge was at the end of a long avenue that was cut off by an Interstate. It continued the avenue for pedestrians.

While I enjoyed the shoe-leather reflected by the piece, I disagree with the central assumption that reconnecting neighborhood roads cut by Interstates should be an exception rather than a rule. In my city several areas are oddly isolated from one another due to highways that were a cohesive community fabric before. It's always an insult to the local neighborhood to seal places off and I'm saddened conventional wisdom today would require a special exception to heal the cut.

> is the whole concept of using words to encode a location now owned by w3w?

Essentially, yes. There are patents involved, and W3W are rather litigious so if you have a competing idea/implementation that doesn't infringe be prepared to expensively defend that position.

>"Invariants, like assertions, are things that must be true during or after the execution of a piece of code. "This array is sorted", "the first item is the smallest", "items in the deleted state must have a deleted time", that kind of thing. Invariants are broader than assertions: they can assert properties of a piece of data, properties of an entire data structure, or even properties of collections of data structures spread across multiple machines."

Yes!

In theory it would be possible to assert the correctness of an entire codebase with only a single unit test(!) ran on only a single piece of data(!) -- but that's IF, if and only if -- the code is known to be tightly and invariably bound to that key piece of data such that its entire functionality can be asserted via the state of that piece of data!

There is a broader pattern here, too...

Let's suppose we have a cup which is half-full, half-empty.

If we call the fullness of the cup "X" and the emptiness of the cup "Y" -- then if we know one of these things, one of these aspects of the underlying system -- then we also know the other one! (X's relationship to Y is: X = 1/Y, correspondingly, Y's relationship to X is: Y=1/X (inverse AKA reciprocal relationship...))

But the point is: If you know the state of one, you also know the state of the other...

In the case of the theoretical codebase whose code is tightly, invariably, deterministically coupled to one key variable thus requiring only one unit test of that variable to assert the correctness of the entire codebase -- "X" is that variable, and "Y" is "the codebase"!

These relationships do not need to be inverse or reciprocal as with the half full, half empty cup of water example -- they can be asymmetric, as in the case of the theoretical codebase with the single unit test!

The broader broader pattern is "if thing A (correctly and invariably!) asserts thing B -- then if you have thing A -- then you also have thing B (without needing to check thing B independently!)".

In Logic, this can be thought of as "If A implies B, and you have A (A is True), then you also have B (B exists and is True -- as a result of merely having A)"

In Business, one might compare the concept of KPI's (Key Performance Indicators) to this -- if you have a KPI (measurement, observation) on the one hand, then you also have an asserted state of the business on the other, but remember, that's if and only if the two things are tightly and invariably bound -- that is, aspects of the same underlying phenomena...
Does YouTube only show skeletons with uBlock origin for you too?
In the same vein I think that people were making jokes about how it is even possible to use smart phones to make phone calls like 5 years ago lol. Wouldnt be shocked if some folks had not made a single phone call in the past 3 or 4 years. Smartphones are small mobile internet connected computer plus camera hybrids first, and also if you really want you could use them to make phone calls too I guess but you could drop that feature and the other 99% of the use vases people actually use smartphones for (work, reddit, YouTube, slack and other chat, internet browsing, apps, ordering food through delovery apps, etc) would be unaffected
Means a lot more than a comment on Hacker News.

Id like to also highlight the need to preserve personal and business data stored in a variety of SaaS services. Google export is a great example of a large provider doing the right thing. I wish most smaller SaaS companies were similar.

Specifically, I've been recently looking for accounting software for Polish VAT accounting.

I'd much prefer standalone software rather than SaaS, but I found none. Only SaaS offerings. Of a dozen of them only one has a public API one can use to export data(if one writes exporting software). None have ability to export all data in a simple format in one go.

Why does it matter? Accounting records, buy/sell invoices, expense documents etc gathered over years and decades can be very valuable.

Personally, despite being against over regulation in general, I think there should be some law that required SaaS companies to provide reasonable data export capability. GDPR already gives people an ability to request all data another entity has on them, but making it an essential part of the service that could be used regularly (as a backup of sorts) would be much better.
What type of insights are you looking to gather over the conversations?
The issue is you assumed I am white, male and a foreigner, and thus unqualified to discuss the topic. That is the definition of an ad hominem argument. You need to address my argument.

Don’t take my word for it, decide for yourself. Check out the readings I quoted earlier, all of them are written by Singaporeans, are in academia, come from a variety of backgrounds and not all are males. If you’re short on time, academic reviews provide a good summary (on whether it is worth reading).

> Early file systems did not have capabilities this advanced, and through decades of backward compatibility we're kind of stuck with

Some did. Some mainframes did. And Apple pre-OSX (HFS I think was the file system) did too.

The problem isn’t just backwards compatibility with DOS. It’s that most file transfer protocols don’t forward that kind of meta information. They don’t even share whether it’s executable, a system file or hidden (those that do have an attribute for hidden files). So the file type ended up needing to be encoded in the file name if just to preserve it.
Furthermore, it's possible the U.S. underreports because it's tricky to get approved or even checked for disability. Recent articles suggest around 25% of Europeans report as disabled.[1]
