Remote SSH dev does not work.
One more reason why very little research goes into that area is that the pharma industry isn't interested in a "cheap" solution. It is nigh impossible to find grants for any research to that end. However, some work sounds promising https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9231292/#:~:tex....
Obviously you don't want to tell AWS what your budget is. You want your local tool that does work for your benefit to have a way to sanity check the configuration, and warn you if the only suitable VM at the provider turns out to cost a lot more than you expected.
As mentioned, I’m only slightly lower than the uppermost caste, so I’m not in any extreme reservation category. And I didn’t use reservation either.

None of that matters since many of these incidents happen within 15 minutes of the first meeting. Roughly around when they start to realize and ask, “oh, you’re not Brahmin?”

Importantly, this question sounds more like trying to find a reason why casteism is justified tbh.
This is it right here. Limitations and being able to wrap your head around every piece of the tool you’re using. It’s so easy to get lost in tools like Ableton. They can put you in a headspace that is always fiddling and not actually focused on making music. I think modular gear does this to people too. My friends that go down the modular rabbit hole sometimes don’t realize they haven’t made anything but bloops with their 10,000+ modular. And not in an awesome Autechre/Richard Devine way that has structure and a goal.
Universal has got to be it. Afaik, you couldn't plug something into a iPhone charge port and use it with an app; you probably still can't?. Doing it on Android would be a nightmare. Other platforms (which wasn't out of the question at the time), who knows.

But every platform will let you use a plugged in mic, and likely detect that one is plugged in. And if the bias voltage for the microphone isn't enough, you can play a sine wave to the headphone contacts (or one of them) to deliver power.
I love that the author provides a comparison to the Kinesis Advantage.
Start with laboratory mice, and then move on to dolphins I reckon.
Also worth noting is Abrash's Black Book is pretty specialized for the x86 PCs of the 90s. It's not really all that applicable to game programming today, unless you're deliberately doing retro development for 486/pentium class machines w/VGA.
I've never tried this, but in theory, if these projects produce builds on GitHub Actions and you trust Microsoft's security, then you should be able to just look at the commit hash that got pulled in the action and diff that against upstream and just study that. If the diff looks safe [1] then I think that implies the binary can be trusted.

[1] Of course this includes ensuring it doesn't e.g. pull anything from the internet whose integrity you can't similarly guarantee...
Your right the 3DS did great when looking at sheer numbers but when it "only" sold half of its predecessor I have a feeling that this helped Nintendo to end the handheld line.

At some point I need to write a blog post about how weird console numbers are when it comes to deciding what fails and what succeeds because you're a 100% correct the 3DS did great but because it sold less then the last gen it was a "failure".
A workaround to overfitting is to train on so much distinct data that the model can't overfit.

Newer large datasets like the ones used here optimize for diversity. (e.g. SlimPajama is a heavily-deduped dataset)
X Corp. sues Bright Data over site scraping
Crazy but intriguing stuff. Surprising (to me) thing to note - the first goal is to be able to construct "sentences" in Sperm Whalish not necessarily understand them. The next step is to figure out what they mean.
JavaScript was a cute little DSL once too!

I feel like the author missed a more obvious comparison between Puppetlang and HCL: vendor specific languages.

When you consider them from that perspective it’s clear that the decision is based more on which company you trust to serve your long term needs over any point in time implementation details. Is that company Puppet? HashiCorp? Pulumi? The implementation details obviously matter but if you’re investing 7+ years into an ecosystem like the author did, then there are a lot more factors than just syntax.
That is true and I mentioned oathtool in order to spread my knowledge. At least this trick can be used for almost any 2FA method.

And, more and more keep bothering me with this, e.g., when trying to read Google mails via Thunderbird, you have to create 2FA in order to create an application token that can be used with Thunderbird. So many tokens and passwords. It really keeps getting on my nerves and I don't trust things that are locked onto my smartphone because it might get lost. The first reflex was to simply save the QR code, but then I also wanted to know how I could use it without Google authenticator and so I found oathtool. And as can be seen from the two necessary command line arguments, the default oathtool invocation also didn't work out of the box.

To be fair, Google and also Github, both, provide recovery codes, which can be used if you loose your 2FA device. But now you have basically 3 "passwords", two Yubikeys, plus your associated mail address, all of which you have to remember or store. All of this just for a single account out of a thousand, which you aggregate over a decade or more.
Another condition for supplementation is the possession of a disorder which causes malabsorption, like SIBO.
I think it's just badly worded.
That's usually what the literal interpretation of the law would be. However, the courts have set the precedence so that it is more or less legal to consider race to increase "diversity". For example, see Regents of the University of California v. Bakke. [1]

With the recent SCOTUS ruling, things have changed a little bit. Unfortunately, that really doesn't prevent people from finding ways to get around the ruling. [2]

I'd prefer if titles of HN submissions told me what should I look for.

I'd click on a "Humans may be just as capable as dogs at scent-tracking" link, and see if it is justified (no, really, I won't take it as granted just because it is a HN submission title).

But I don't know what to do with a "Mechanisms of scent-tracking in humans (2006)". I probably won't even click on it, and if I did, I wouldn't find anything interesting.
I was thinking that the complaint was primarily about the CO2, but your comment makes me realize that they could have been concerned about the radiation aspects in the air too...
The article mentions adding caste to protected status. Protected Status has a specific set of meanings and implications in the US that came from US history, not Indian history.

If Indians want protections then I think the law should be more nuanced to prevent absurdities like arguing that caste should be included in things like American DEI policies. I draw the line at that point. I don't want the lack of nuance to cause caste to be equated with things like the history of racial discrimination in the US. There is nothing systemic in the US about caste discrimination so the US itself is not at fault and neither are most Americans.

Further, there is a history of Indian affirmative action policies which include quotas and I think Indians should not expect to have the same treatment under the law as there because quotas have been struck down in court.

oh god, what would that mean for the web? an unreadable mangle of JS, HTML, and CSS, even when it's in source code format? count me out!
My suspicion about vitamin D is the positive effects are minor. Short term deficiency doesn't do anything. But long term chronic deficiency negatively impacts your health. And deficiency in children is much worse than in adults[1].

I think sure take vitamin D but don't expect much.

[1] Friend that's a public health nurse says they're seeing kids with rickets and bad teeth in Marin County. Because vegetarianism, sunscreen and milk alternatives. They don't see any of that with poor kids in Oakland because they're on WIC and not getting woo woo healthcare.
For the time being I'm installing Windows 10 and setting it up without ever logging into a Microsoft account. (There's a trick during first-time setup where if you disconnect your internet, it lets you create a local-only account.) I haven't actually tried Windows 11, but I hear it makes this significantly harder or maybe impossible, which is definitely making me wary.

People at LAN parties actually do log into their own Steam accounts, but logging the whole machine into a guest's Microsoft account feels worse. Then again, I haven't tried it, maybe it'll turn out convenient, if it lets people sync their settings between machines? Note that at the end of the party, all changes anyone made to any machine are wiped out.

That said it's definitely comforting to have Linux as another option if Microsoft makes Windows unusable for this use case!

"But the way the bill is worded, It implies that anyone in my lineage can be sued based on my perceived caste (based on allegations of course) that is inherited to me against my will."

Not a legal expert but this is extremely far fetched. You must have a great deal of contempt for the US legal system if you think this.
That's less than a month's income for a few people on here. I recall a comment from an engineer at Nvidia a year or two ago saying $700k/year was about much they were paid, in response to someone else not believing those levels.

Get together 5 people in that position and it's less than a week's income for the group. That sounds doable as a hobby for those lucky people.

More realistically, it's within range for a grant, or use of someone else's hardware if they aren't using it, as the sibling comment from wongarsu said.

Also cloud vendors sometimes give out large batches of credits to startups and such as marketing incentive to get future customers.
The academic phase was during my PhD between 2009 and 2017 in Texas. Upper Caste Hindu professors (2) and fellow grad students and postdocs (2). The professors thankfully weren’t my advisors, but made it their business to pester every Indian student during poster presentations if they found they were not upper caste or weren’t behaving as one (by eating or dating habits).

I don't think this is the root cause. Declarative languages really paper over details in many cases, and the mapping from the declaration to the imperative execution might not be obvious. When you're on the happy path, it's amazing (if it's a good DSL: because you can be confident you haven't forgotten details, that it's systematically correct, etc). When you encounter a regression, bug, or misunderstanding, in anger, it can be very very difficult to figure out what's going on.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Are you implying that the placebo effect is magic, or in some other way non-scientific?
Thank-you.

> local tool... to sanity check

Yes, exactly. Some open-source project as a layer between the cloud providers, and budget and other elements are just knobs to twiddle.

If this "open pricing" project could swarm various known constraints between money and virtual hardware, would it be a kind of constraint satisfaction problem?
I’m pretty sure there are dozens of startups doing AI-based translation, including just general LLMs which seem to be extremely good at this already.
YouTube should, like any other business, have the right to be judge jury and executioner of all content they host and provide to others on their platform. Period. They should never be coerced by a government to not have the right to not host content.
Timing could be about right though, IIRC Escom only got involved when the Amiga was already on its deathbed. They bought what was left of Commodore in 1995 and actually continued building and selling A4000 and A1200 throughout 1995, just not as much as they hoped. Eventually they sold the Amiga business again and went bankrupt in 1996 (here's an old news blurb in German from 1996 I just found: https://www.channelpartner.de/a/escom-ag,600999).

(myself, I actually continued using my Amiga 3000 as my main computer until around 1998, despite also doing programming work on a PC with WinNT4 and testing on Win95 - mainly DirectX stuff)
oh interesting point: the slavic y+{a,e,i,o,u} thing turns those surnames ending in consonant+iak into a single syllable, whereas in germanic the y would be a glide, demarcation of a syllable to its left and another to its right?

>Yet Reddit removed both moderators from their positions this summer because the mods refused to end r/canning's protest against Reddit and its new API fees; the protest had made the entire subreddit "read only." Now, the ousted mods fear that r/canning could become subject to unsafe advice that goes unnoticed by new moderators. "My biggest fear with all this is that someone will follow an unsafe recipe posted on the sub and get badly sick or killed by it," Dromio05 told me.

bikespokememe.jpg

I totally buy the argument that the protest probably lead to their being some sort of marginal shift from hobbyist moderators to admin-friendly powermods. But to this point:

- This happened to the extent that hobbyist mods rendered their own forums unusable on an indeterminate basis. They chose the hill they died on, and cannot claim they were acting in the interests of their community in doing so.

- Powermods dominated wide swaths of the site prior to the protests and this sort of concern was never raised (there were concerns about powermods, but not powermods vs. hobbyist mods.) So the entire article likely represents an act of concern trolling. The underlying point may still be valid, but its bad-faith motivations deserve to be called out.

For reference a MG MOTOR UK ZS 115kW Long Range 73kWh 5dr (real world range approx 250 miles) can be had in the UK for £29k, making it pretty much the cheapest long range EV, and you get a 7 year warranty with it. They're beating the competition on price, simple as that

Prolog for Pulumi is an absolutely doable thing - and indeed sounds sufficiently diabolical that someone should do it ;-)

Can you do this in VS Code?

You can set the window Zoom Level to change all of the font sizes, including the menu, but afaik, there's no option for just the menu font size.
This is a good point but also a little circular since the good vendor specific languages tend to break free — like Netscape’s (and nominally Sun’s) JavaScript :-)

(and I think SQL started at IBM but I’m not sure if they tried to keep it proprietary or make it a standard)
Modals Will Never Be the Same – HTML Dialog Element
That is extremely helpful, even without many specific examples, thanks! It’s definitely something to be aware of at the start of a new project. If you anticipate the project will not get too large or complex, then Svelte is probably a good choice for the productivity and performance. But if it could grow over the years into something large and complex, then Solid’s primitives-focus and toolbox approach may be better.

I wonder if Svelte5 will retain the framework philosophy or move toward the toolbox approach.
The Notes app on my Mac and iPhone.
The frontend ecosystem realized (at the time of React) that the (template) DSL isn't really the point. Its the declarative description of what the end result should look like (as well as applying the diff) which is the important bit, not how you generate that declarative description. The devops space is slowly moving in this direction too.

TypeScript is a great fit to model the unwieldy yaml / json schemas with precision, getting less in the way compared to most languages with sum types. Deno could be a great player in this space that avoids the complexity of npm, especially with its sandbox to restrict side-effects, networking and external commands.

CDKs come with their own multi-language compiler (jsii-rosetta) which results with a ~300MB npm install. Even when all you wanted was to use simple typescript functions to output some JSON and/or yaml.
Is the purpose of life to only work on "useful" things? I ask that genuinely.
It’s because many Indians still support caste discrimination, which is why this is a problem in the first place.
FWIW this wiki page I started may help frame discussions like this:

Survey of Config Languages - https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/Survey-of-Config-Langua...

It puts a bunch of languages in 5 cateogires.

Terraform is at least not a YAML DSL, a very common pattern which I don't understand the appeal of. I guess the main appeal is that you can copy and paste, and pretend it's data in simple cases.

But even Terraform suffers from the problem of "external" DSLs -- you end up needing a general purpose language. And yes this pattern has repeated itself so many times.

Awk and Make both grew into general purpose languages, and in Make's case it's particularly bad.

Most SQL dialects have also grown a pretty bad stored procedure language.

So I do think making internal DSLs in general purpose languages is more promising. But they have to be designed for it. There have been many attempts to use Python as a DSL/config language, but it's missing a few things for that, and gets awkward pretty quickly.

Ruby does a bit better, but it's not perfect either. It's fairly big and heavy if you just want a config file.
> I have a feeling that this helped Nintendo to end the handheld line.

I think you might want to reevaluate this position seeing as their current console and multimillion seller is handheld. It CAN dock, but even then there's a no-dock model, the Lite, which is handheld only.
I agree. I wrote a long rant against DSLs here [0]. I won't repeat it here. This isn't an infrastructure DSL though, just a private DSL for our product.

Since then the situation hasn't gotten any better, but sort of stayed the same. Two people on our team have been solving bugs in this DSL for the last few months, rather minor ones. Tomorrow in fact I have a meeting with one of them about adding a sort of limited pass-by-reference semantics into the language (which currently doesn't allow pass-by-reference). I'm very torn about it, as I feel this is a waste of time, and we should ditch this DSL. Users complain rightly that it isn't a "real" programming language. Our "standard library" is very very lacking, for example there's no I/O.

We just added FFI 2 months ago. My team lead who was supposed to do this years ago didn't, and in fact effectively stopped developing it 2 years ago, feeling overwhelmed, and ended up leaving a couple of months ago.

What this language or rather ecosystem DOES do well is having an internal build system that is completely transparent to the users (unless there are bugs). Well, I designed this build system so I'm partial to it.

I had actually written the C# API which I wrote about at the end of [0], that was supposed to be a replacement of this DSL with a "real" language. However I got burned out a couple of months ago after my team lead left, and halted development. There was also a long series of heated discussions with some of my users, who wanted me to remove some of the (rather simple) guardrails I made, and give them the ability to build complex hierarchies above this API, an API which I designed for simplicity. I warned them those hierarchies would end up creating DLL hell and would make it necessary to build devops tooling and maybe even infrastructure as code [1], which IMO is silly for most of the internal projects, which contain at most 5-6 people. From 2 different organizational groups, but still. My users aren't developers per se, and have a more or less support role.

I'm still torn as to what the correct direction here. Long term our small team (only 2 full time developers and 3 part time) cannot support 2 half-assed non-standard DSLs, plus that C# API for our many internal users. Something gotta give.
