This actually helps me understand why the negative tone of some of the comments on this thread that mentioned her. At first I thought it was because she was a progressive.
Yes, and I said as much. All DSLs are abstractions to some sort of code that does some action. What I'm saying is that we have examples of bad DSLs, and good DSLs, and perhaps by focusing between them we can come up with some useful information about what distinguishes one from the other.

To me, that's a much more interesting (and useful!) discussion than just piling onto the DSLs are awful bandwagon, and I also think it's a flaw in any argument put forth in that argument that needs to be addresses before I can accept it.
Prison in America is punitive and has nothing to do with rehabilitation.
That part is not obvious to me as an outsider. And framing something that shouldn’t have been done as a power play, when it could as easily have been simple ineptitude or some other issue, seems like it weakens the argument and escalates the situation.

Plenty of people who haven’t really thought about how conferences should work end up on committees running conferences, kind of like how plenty of developers end up as high level reviewers or managers regardless of their qualifications.

I straight out think MS lied when they said this was an .au only issue. We had a surge of rouge traffic from MS during this issue and we are pretty much on the other side of the globe.
So they postulate how the moon will in 1000 years become stationary in orbit due to the tidal energy extraction as to why tidal energy is not renewable.

Yeah I'm surprised they got this far. I thought it was all over and done.

I don't really see how this will be a success commercially with the whole CO2 crisis going on, though I could imagine that some militaries will want a faster troop transport or something.
From what I’ve heard of and used myself LINQ works pretty well as an embedded DSL because it’s more like a language extension with some solid semantics rather than a classic embedded DSL that is not terribly far from transpilers
> Which was not at scale

I doubt you are playing here with a good-faith definition of “at scale”. In any event, copying of works for sale in Antiquity was certainly of scale, we know that many literary works spread quickly across the Mediterranean through commercial production. Furthermore, some of the earliest printed books were made in such limited editions that Roman mass production can certainly be compared. The development of the printing press is generally viewed in contrast to the medieval manuscript era that immediately preceded it, but that was a time marked by a decline in literary rates and amanuensis workforce since Antiquity.

As for going to a show and copying the content, yes, I would argue that this should be legal. Plenty of people on HN are from cultures that never entirely accepted copyright on entertainment, even if their countries’ governments were pressured to enact copyright legislation.
But they will still pull it out of their back pocket when it suits their needs. Like a dictator would.

> So to use an extension in VSCode, it has to be published in Microsoft's store?

You can always download the extension (or build it yourself) and install it manually - using Code or Codium. You can use the Open VSX registry with Code, but you have to configure it: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Using-Open-VSX-in-VS....
So it technically does not have to be in MS' Marketplace, but 99% of Code user will not find or know of your extension, if it isn't in the Marketplace.
>as it's integral to capitalism functioning

Copyright in the united states begins in 1776 and even earlier in Europe. At this time the economy consisted almost solely of agriculture as well as some light manufacturing. So it seems highly unlikely that the authors of the constitution saw copyright as "integral to capitalism functioning" rather than as a way to promote the arts.

Regarding your second point:

>The first statutory police force is believed to be the High Constables of Edinburgh, who were created by the Scottish parliament in 1611 to "guard their streets and to commit to ward all person found on the streets after the said hour".[0]

I understand that you will likely view this source through a communist lens, and I wouldn't either take every primary source at face value but having a city watch and balif was common. As goverments became more centralized these were replaced by "police" but it is misleading to say police were simply invented one day, and that it was invented soley with ulterior motives.

I tried it but it's way choppier in terms of audio than the built-in SIP support in Android.

Sadly Google dumped that support out in Android 12 so I'm still using an old lineageOS phone for this reason.

But baresip is unusable for voice on the same phone that runs built in SIP just fine.

No? I mean it seems like a stretch. Where would the LLM learn the initial English-to-Moo mapping for cows?

Maybe if we would have a mapping we could use that to train an LLM.

In the meantime you can try asking ChatGPT if a cow has buddha nature and ask for a one word reply. It have an idea what it might say.
I did not know this concept existed, Wonderful Idea, no doubt demakes would be a lot more frequent if we valued ecology and actually tried to curb digital obsolescence as much as possible, in a permacomputing way.

I imagine it would be much more straightforward to port pretty much any indie games to consoles like Xbox original onwards, PS3 onwards, Wii onwards, maybe Windows 7 average desktop and notebooks (lots of indies already use older direct x and are compatible with windows 7 , another win for the pc master race).
The AAA Games would need to be done with less scale and no 4k dlss ray tracing whatever.

You're missing the point. GP is discussing binaries. I.e., the assumption is that published source code (on Github) is perfectly fine, and then either the (malign) developer is changing the code before compiling it, or the (malign) third party is somehow using some vulnerability to replace the official binaries with compiled code of their own. And then you think that you are using "VSCode without the telemetry code", but in reality you're running a botnet.

I know superficially why you think that: PDF are Good Guys killing Bad Guys, and ISIS are Bad Guys killing Good Guys.

I invite you to expand on that -- if you can. How do you determine whether a killer is Good or Bad?
The article does try to allude to the reason, it's just poorly written.

Basically, many Hindus feel this is a tort only Hindus can be liable for. For example, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam do not have caste systems--thus, the logic goes, you could never sue a Jew, Christian, or Muslim for this, yet you could sue a Hindu for it. Moreover, many Hindus view it as simply carrying the strong connotation that there is something uniquely wrong with Hinduism that must be legally "fixed" this way.

To use an argument nobody in the article or this thread has raised, but which seems to me like one of the strongest ones someone who opposes the law could actually muster, remember those laws in the South banning "Shari'a Law"? Those were clearly anti-Muslim publicity stunts; any practical danger posed by Shari'a Law is already handled by the American legal system. One could see a Hindu feeling that this is an analogous thing that is mainly about singling out Hindus because existing anti-discrimination law should be sufficient.

If you can do it in an existing language, don't invent your own

I would add that EBM took over because science-based medicine (at least the historical definition, how it's used now is more of a hybrid) didn't work out too well. Often the mechanism thought to be understood is incorrect or more complicated and the outcomes don't correlate well with what's expected, sometimes resulting in significant harm.

Fundamentally, the mechanism of why a medical intervention works isn't that important if you're thoroughly evaluating outcome measures and controlling confounders.
Ask HN: What Is Missing in Feature Mgmt Platforms?
Hello HN!

I'm working on a prototype (and potential product) for product management software: Think Analytics, Feature Flags, App Config, A/B Testing etc. Think Posthog, LaunchDarkly, Statsig, Firebase AppConfig etc.

Why am I doing this when the market space is already crowded?

Because I've used many of these platforms, and they all seem to lack in ways that I have found to be frustrating, be it UX of the product itself to lack of features.

I'd like to first hear from the community where these platforms fall down.

Some things I think make for a good platform:

- Edge First: Config, Feature Flags, you name it, should be delivered via an edge network (think Cloudflare or Fastly etc.) in near real time.

- Programmatic control: you should be able to programmatically control what identifiers correspond to what features, experiments, holds, layers etc. are applied.

- Environment aware: instead of having to manually setup environments, you should be able to tell the platform what environments you have and how you want features to toggle in kind, e.g. dev vs staging vs prod etc.

- Build time integrations: There is no reason why you shouldn't able able to interpolate some flags at build time from a centrally store, easily. not everything is meant to be done at runtime. This is particularly useful for toggling debug features. You should only have to manage your flags from one central place, and allow the SDK to do the rest.

- Smaller runtime: alot of these clients are very large to ship to customers. For instance, the web SDK for LaunchDarkly clocks 27.5KB minified & gzipped, which adds alot of weight to the application. More logic should be pushed down from the server and clients can and should be lighter.

- Auto Analytics & Tracing: you should be able to tag features from different A/B tests into your logging platforms automatically or with minimal glue. Currently, these platforms aren't even aware of things like error rates unless you (often in duplicate) log them to the platform, if its supported at all

I'd love to hear from you all about this more however! My experience so far is that there is still alot of room for innovation here around execution and ease of use.
The comment I responded to claims there is no evidence, without offering support for itself. My goal here is to offer constructive criticism and invite the commenter to clarify.

Here on HN, like most forums, there is a write vs. read imbalance: "write once, read many". If you take a broad view, the implications are clear: it is better when writers put in the effort to be clear, particularly when asked.

There is a common conversational pattern:

(a) One person makes a comment which is somewhat vague.

(b) The next person reads, and despite the ambiguity, responds without asking clarification questions.

(c) Repeat.

Is it a surprise that such conversations have so many failure modes? Some include: (1) talking past each other; (2) not really learning; (3) not getting to know each other; (4) missing an opportunity to connect and build bridges.

I attempted to break the pattern by pointing out the ambiguity and asking clarification questions. This is the norm for sites like Stack Overflow, for good reason.

I have a hypothesis: the above dysfunctional pattern is not widely recognized here on HN. It isn't part of people's awareness; we fall into counterproductive conversational styles without recognizing it.

Sure, there are styles of debate where people try to score points. That's a zero-sum mentality; a waste of our collective effort.

I encourage us to reflect on this question: Given how much time people spend on HN, how many durable personal connections are formed?

This is separate from the telemetry, but I suspect that part of the roadmap is for LSP extensions to become monthly subscription services eventually. We currently see hints of that from two directions: 1) the introduction of GitHub Copilot as a paid service, and 2) the aforementioned move towards proprietary and DRM protected LSPs. It's not hard to imagine how these two might converge in the future. I'm sure that the performance of these LSPs will be extremely impressive and that it will be rational for many individual developers to pay for them. This will in turn pull mind share and community involvement away from FOSS solutions, and the gap between the two will widen over time as a result.
If I could go back in time it would be to escape them, not reinvent them.
I get a bit of ick from seeing them suggest downloading Java from Oracle's website, but that might just be from hearing horror stories about non-home users. Though, it might makes sense considering this guide is intended for non-technical users, based on the comparison to Steam.

GP claimed cheap monitors are only possible because they use the same panels as TVs. It's silly to say all 4K monitors are just TV panels with different inputs and vise versa.

Panels available today have a vast array of differences. Just check out some reviews on RTINGS. Even similar models from the same manufacturer can have wildly different specs.

The problem with this type of thinking is that it undervalues the role that non-vital communication has in social species. Look at uncontacted peoples around the world. They've had music and dance even though their tribes consisted of a couple hundred people. These forms of communication serve a role in their communities but it isn't "there are fish in the pond over there" it's more special and abstract.

If we are to treat whalesong the same way then we can't immediately assume that they're just trying to communicate base concepts.

We can't ignore the fact that shorts - as a format - promote distinctly different content quality. It's a much more compressed, less thoughtful, more manipulative (have to keep only the most attention grabbing parts) video format.

Perhaps I am in a tiny minority, but the introduction of shorts has completely changed how I use YouTube. I have blocked all modules on the homepage, YouTube recommendation modules on other pages, secondary navigation, etc with uBO. Have only watched maybe 5 shorts in total, and even then only by accident when clicking links on other domains.

It would be interesting to see someone dig into the differences between the capture of language and culture, and control over how it gets fed back into cultural discourse, that we fear corporations achieving with commercialized LLMs, and the control pre-internet publishers had (and to a certain extent, still do), over what content, and in what format, language was disbursed and distributed. I am not at all certain that having your work used to train LLMs is a bigger threat to writers ownership of their work than publishing houses were and are.

I also suspect that if we had an effective mechanism to prevent use of copyrighted work in training, it would necessarily behoove an artist to opt their content out. Will you really want to be excluded what may well become the canonical mechanism for searching and generating language?
