Yes, they are fun as adults as well. The Toyota plant in Guelph in Ontario is a good one and Amazon fulfilment centres do them in some locations and are quite fun as well.
I'm not an expert, either, but I believe that animal cells are different from most other living things (plants, fungi and fungus-like/bacteria and bacteria-like organisms) in that they do not have cell walls, just a flexible, self-healing membrane. Organisms with cell walls often have internal pressure, which makes any punctures much more serious than for animal cells. Perhaps something like that is in play.

I do know that a common mechanism of action for many common antibiotics is interfering with the formation of cell walls. That's what lets them be effective against bacteria without causing (much) harm to the surrounding animal cells.

It's certainly not proof of absence. But when the need for climate models that discount AGW pertains to a trillion dollar industry with a large staff of computer modeling specialists, using the same hardware and often the same software as climate scientists, and they can't come up with something, it's evidence, and it's strong evidence.
It's okay. I'm a native english speaker and the word "hack" sometimes confuses me too. There are at least three meanings I can think of:

1. From the MIT Model Railroad Club. This is the "good" definition of hacking. A "hack" is a clever manipulation of an existing system to exceed it's design specs or make it do something radically different from what it was originally intended to do. Example: "Did you see that radical hack Bob pulled, using a the I/O port on a Commodore 64 to drive the model railroad track switcher? That was amazing!"

2. From the news media in the 80s and 90s. To break into a computer system. Example: "Wiley hackers broke into government computers and stole your Social Security, Drivers License and Credit Card numbers. But the good news is you get free credit monitoring services for the next year."

3. From ????. To jury-rig a system out of parts you wouldn't expect would work together, but it does. Example: "Did you see that radical hack Bob pulled, using a cardboard toilet paper roll to emulate a PDP-11? That was amazing!"
I prefer constructive solutions over worn out hyperbole that, coming from the mouths of some on the far-left and far-right, are anything but. A politics of envy is the norm today, and this envy has some raging have-nots wishing to deprive the haves even to the point of harm to themselves. "Burn it all down" are not the words of a doctor says who wants to reset badly formed bones or heal open wounds. It is the motto of the murderer.

But there is a certain race to the bottom with no exit. Consider the ease with which DNA may be collected. What prevents China from the mass collection of DNA of Americans? Would that knowledge asymmetry place the US at a disadvantage if, say, the US were to become the target of some kind of biological warfare? A disadvantage in the sense of lacking the knowledge needed to protect the populace. Could a repository of anonymized genetic data be constructed, or would it be too easy to infer whose DNA is whose? Are the threats too remote to justify such collection, even if legally endorsed?
Human (and other animal) cells do not have cell walls.
You mean its based on a massively successful operating system that was used by millions?
Or less - see Texas, where inmates receive no pay for work.
There are one pot or instapot/crock pot/rice cooker recipes that can help, but a lot of those still require some prep work. I 100% agree here, though. The key, especially in a small space, is to keep things clean as you work.

But, this also means managing sub-tasks through the day, like making sure clean items get pulled out of the dishwasher when it's done so that, to your point, things don't stack up in the sink through the day. There's nothing worse than trying to quickly throw a meal together and realizing the tool you need is at the bottom of the sink under a stack or pile. Things quickly turn to yak shaving.

Cooking and cleaning go hand and hand in my mind. I don't always have everything clean when I'm done cooking, but I'm proud when I'm able leave things at a good stopping point. That said, go eat the food you just cooked while it's hot. I think it can be difficult for people new to cooking to balance all these things, it takes practice. As you get a better sense of timing when things will be ready, you find time to clean something. [The more clean and organized your workspace is, the easier meals come together.]
Is that the global cooling that all the denier sites were predicting for 2016?

You know, because the global warming was all caused by the sun and the sunspot cycle was going to enter a new Maunder Minimum leading to a new Little Ice Age.

How did that work out?
There's no clash: the "$" of Svelte is not a variable identifier like the one for jQuery. So it's all fine.
Making a separate account on Jitsi would have been fine, but they only allow use of existing centralized account systems from github (microsoft), facebook, or google.

That's Not Good(tm).

Good thing Self-hosting still works I guess. Will have to set it up.
Well, yeah - there's a reason why it's called a framework-compiler.

In any case you can always just look into the unminified output where you'll see how your code is instrumented - it even includes comments detailing which variables are being dirty-checked.
I never said everybody's gut feeling works as it should be. That's definitely not the case. I'm only saying one's gut feeling is one's only chance at telling the difference between real and fake in the situation described by OP. After you pin pointed your gut feeling, your rational mind can take it into account. Watch out for rationalizing your gut feeling away though (HN crowd is especially prone to this, all logical thinkers). So listen to and develop your gut feeling. We're going to need it with all the AI output.
Well. It also purports to be a tech site when it's really a finance site.

Progressive enhancement is still important (2013)
>Prison labor has been a part of the U.S. economy since at least the late 19th century. Today it's a multi-billion dollar industry. Incarcerated people do everything from building office furniture and making military equipment, to staffing call centers and doing 3D modeling.

>13th is a 2016 American documentary film by director Ava DuVernay. The film explores the "intersection of race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States";[3] it is titled after the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1865, which abolished slavery throughout the United States and ended involuntary servitude except as a punishment for conviction of a crime. DuVernay contends that slavery has been perpetuated since the end of the American Civil War through criminalizing behavior and enabling police to arrest poor freedmen and force them to work for the state under convict leasing; suppression of African Americans by disenfranchisement, lynchings, and Jim Crow; politicians declaring a war on drugs that weighs more heavily on minority communities and, by the late 20th century, mass incarceration affecting communities of color, especially American descendants of slavery, in the United States. She examines the prison-industrial complex and the emerging detention-industrial complex, discussing how much money is being made by corporations from such incarcerations.

It's not hard to remember if you're familiar with unixs tools and syntax. But no one is demanding you concede anything. The point of the conversation is explain the difference in expectations between how you expect a command line tool to act and how most people expect a command line tool to act. If I try to `cp src dest` and it fails. I don't want the tool to guess how to fix the issue, that's not it's job. Ditto for `dd` it shouldn't try to guess offsets. curl exists as a knife, you're expecting it to do the job have a food processor and blender combination. You're not wrong to expect a tool to behave that way you're wrong to expect curl to behave that way. And no one is asking you to concede that a knife is easier than a blender when you want a blender. everyone is pointing out it's not a blender it's a knife but you can still do everything you want to do.
Having used Svelte on a large project, I found that it did scale reasonably well but that the usual problems did require effort and trade-offs. The two big ones for me were:

- Managing file size and complexity in the component-per-file paradigm. Having all logic for a complex component in one file makes it big, e.g. 1,000 lines, but splitting into multiple files introduces a component boundary and consequent state passing/event handling boilerplate.

- With tight coupling between a complex UI and complex domain objects/data structures, it becomes difficult to reason about data flow. There are multiple ways of binding the data to the UI -- props, stores, standard JS variables, and reactive statements -- but all come with trade-offs and none let you develop domain objects that are completely framework-agnostic without introducing repetitive boilerplate.

For certain types of app I actually really like the DX of writing a UI-agnostic app and then layering Svelte on top of it with event handlers. It's repetitive -- you have to manually listen to events from the domain objects and update local variables with assignments -- but it's easy to reason about and seems to scale well. A good middle-ground might be making the app aware of the Svelte store contract, which is also very simple, but I haven't tried this and the store syntax comes with its own idiosyncrasies (you can't do $obj.store, for example, because only the $obj bit is interpreted as a reference to a store).

What core feature exactly is it missing? Of course, it is a completely different featureset when compared to a tiling window manager, and Ive used those as well - they really do give you superpowers, I just outgrew TWMs if I may say so.

You're right that it does hallucinate a lot when it comes to MacOS API. I find that the hit rate is good enough to ask ChatGPT first, however, before diving deep into Apple documentation.

It's saved me quite a bit of time in terms of understanding how to use APIs as a client. I find the API docs that Apple provides are so bare bones and don't illustrate how the APIs are meant to be used, and you really have to search around for example projects or That One WWDC Video Where All Is Revealed. Asking ChatGPT first saves a bunch of time having to do all that searching.
do you have an example of the globbing that burns you?
They were, usually to preserve the work, not distribute it on a large scale because there was no large scale. What's your argument ?
It's intervention if it's done without consent. You're free to have a national bank, it's intervention if you force me to pay for it or use it.

If you and your employer agree to have a contract enforced by the government then enforcement of the contract is not government intervention (and you should be forced to pay for the cost of that contract, not the taxpayer). There is also no such thing as stealing intellectual property.

Shoplifting violates the 'force is only justified in response to force' principle, which arguably the government's only purpose is to prevent. Not paying income taxes or being a monopoly does not. Not wanting to give you something is not the same as taking something away from you, as much as you wish it was.

I tried a columnar layout for a while (ergo dox kit if I recall) and gave up because when I was in meetings on my laptop keyboard I made so many typos. The worst was hitting Enter on my laptop when I was aiming for apostrophe. So many unintentionally sent IMs.
A polite letter informing them they are in violation of labor laws should be sufficient. Their gamble is you’re afraid to assert your rights, and if you can make clear that you understand they are guaranteed to lose a court case if it gets to that point they’ll pay you swiftly. European companies really don’t want to get a reputation of getting sued by their employees and losing, and they also don’t want to anger local judges.

Make sure your letter(s) are well informed, factual, nonemotional, and don’t make any threats (explicit or implied).
Good Eats sets the standard for educational cooking content, but actually implementing the recipes Alton demonstrates usually results in a nearly day-long cooking project.
Well, the announcement talks about clear-cut ToS violations. Maybe it was about illegally streamed soccer matches - that's a bit of a plague as of late.
The US was at war with a non-state actor who committed an act of war against its civilians. State-to-state warfare is not the only form that has ever existed.
I worked a retail mall job in the early 90s. We had a computer/POS system that had a built-in swiper for credit cards. You'd swipe, hit a key, then listen to it dial out, connect, beep, etc. A CC payment took minimum 30 seconds, usually closer to a minute. December was always a huge slowdown for cc payments. Occasionally we'd pull out the imprint machine and do a few of those, and... for some reason, I seem to remember we had to use it for amex or diners club or discover or some other 'non-traditional' card, but those were a rarity - I think I may have done 2 or 3 of those a year.

Most places seemed to have 'swipe in the terminal' only by late 90s.
Any time I see the phrase "democratize access," my spidey-sense starts tingling.

Funny, I get the same tingling feeling when I see the phrase "restrict access." I guess it's an unreliable signal, huh.
We are talking power imbalance here, copyright is only one issue, there are many others.

Google, MS, Meta, Amazon and many others are exercising monopolistic power to the disadvantage of others. Put it this way, the small percentage of the population who are very wealthy shareholders and owners of these companies—powerful vested interests—have inflicted significant damage on our society by their control over government.

When the rich binge on getting richer and all others get poorer as a consequence and government does nothing about it then history tells us where that usually ends. One doesn't have to be Einstein to see our society is in a damn mess and it's getting worse.
I really wouldn't enjoy facing the wall like that. For me, at least half of the fun of a LAN party was direct interaction and visuals from other fellow humans! Also, where do people sleep? Since there is not sufficient space below the tables! I wouldn't want to leave so far from my machine! ;)

And of course, it lost some of its appeal when we didn't have to carry around and set up CRTs any more.
I thought curl had the ability to encode html entities if you asked it to?
Alright but the types are a wholly different language and cannot be parsed by JavaScript linters. Same as Svelte. People need to learn Typescript in order to use it, it does not come naturally. I don't understand how the same argument cannot be applied for Typescript. I do remember people complaining about Typescript before it became popular. Eventually people understood it made their projects more maintainable and dropped the purist arguments that provide no value to the product.
Just to add a bit of data to the ergonomics claims (of which I find many people are skeptical):

https://workmanlayout.org/#tests-using-popular-books

Now, this is a site extolling the virtues of yet another layout, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt, but the methodology seems sound to me. (Though I used Workman in the past, I've since moved to Colemak due to a combination of it being built-in to Apple OSs and my dislike of the "ly" digram being on the same finger in Workman, plus some other factors.)

Even though Dvorak is the "least efficient" of the three QWERTY alternatives measured, it's still over a 40% reduction in finger travel distance compared to QWERTY. "Distance traveled" is obviously not the sole factor in ergonomics, but it's equally obviously a big one.
I think it's good. I got a chance to shadow a surgeon and watch some surgeries. I thought the field was interesting, but I was bored out of my mind, during some of the most 'interesting' surgeries. If I didn't know that, I might have wasted a lot of time. (I'm not saying it's boring in general, but this was my opinion, meaning I'm unsuited for it)

Mm, (b) is why it's not already made us redundant.

I don't know how far we are from that.

But yes, for now it's a footgun for whoever tries to use it as a replacement rather than an assistant.

But I suspect it is on par with git, despite the flaws: LLMs make you the manager, git helps you collaborate with other humans.
It's so funny to watch commentators on HN act like every relationship sports two equal parties that individually are "autonomous rational agents"

Coke is cheaper than bottled water because of the aggressive subsidies they've pursued. The reason that poverty is correlated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia (among others) is not politically neutral or ethically innocent. It's a byproduct of the system in which we live and for which we are responsible.

Sure, you're right, the board of coca cola did not put a gun to my head and force me to do a kegger with their sodas. They "only" spent more than the discretionary budgets of some nation states to get kids "craving" (read: addicted to) high fructose corn syrup.

Speaking of guns and forcing people though, are we going to talk about how the company funds paramilitary forces in countries such as Columbia where they kill union activists? I guess those people are foreigners so they don't really enter the calculus. There's nothing more quintessentially American than funding death squads in Latin America I suppose. https://prospect.org/features/coca-cola-killings/

Watching people defend multinationals that would turn them into Soylent Green for 0.01% higher quarter-quarter growth is tragic.
UNICOR is a wholly owned government corporation not a private company. Average cost to taxpayers per incarcerated person is about $100K. So let them work for free up until that amount.

But even if it were private, how ethically is this worse than private companies making billions building weapons of mass destruction? Or platforms of mass surveillance?
AI Engineer, B.S.
Your compiler should show you where your errors are and pasting the error and even the documentation back into ChatGPT it can often resolve it. When it fails at this level I feel it's no different to a junior coder being asked to code above their head. You were bound to hit a ceiling at some point.sometimes breaking down your instructions into clear but detailed steps helps (using advanced terminology ideally).
There was nothing like the hypetrain for Windows 95 ever before -- and the only thing that might compare after was the release of the iPhone. There was a guy in Software Etc. whose whole job was to stand at the door and remind people that Windows 95 was coming out on August 24th.

Time for computer enthusiasts could be divided into two eras: before and after Windows 95. Before Windows 95, computers were for nerds and office drones only, pretty much. After Windows 95, awareness and curiosity about computers among normies increased phenomenally. That's how much effort Microsoft put into raising Windows awareness, and how much it paid off.
Local and university chapters of the American Nuclear Society sometimes organize tours of nuclear power plants in their respective regions. I went on a few of these tours in college and it was truly a unique experience. It's easy to talk about a gigawatt of power, but to actually feel it screaming past you in the turbine hall really opens your eyes to the immense scale of the electrical infrastructure we've built to power our civilization.
I have a copy of the combined La Méthode and La Technique. Although I don't have any special affinity for French cooking, Jacques Pepin got me into cooking because he showed me that method and technique was universal. His knife skills were fun to watch.

The person who got me into knife skills was Martin Yan who had a show called "Yan Can Cook" (not to be confused with Wok with Yan by Stephen Yan from Canada).
>That would point to a need for attempting to train people to be more skeptical about new findings

Ironically, many people who were skeptical of the new mrna vaccines were labelled as conspiracy theorists!

It would do no such thing. Commodity computing devices are plenty capable of generating key material without specialized circuitry.
In every thread someone comes with "but is this the only way to tackle the problem?" Noone ever even makes a suggestion so I guess yes it's the only way.
Wow thank you for the link!

It's a nitpick, but that's not in the bill of rights, if you're referring to the 13th amendment. ("Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted")

Of course, the fifth amendment can be construed to take away any right as long as there's due process (which is why the state can take away 2nd amendment rights from felons)

"...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."
Ha! Yes it was…
> Can I do X with SwiftUI? Who knows. Does it support Y pattern well? Absolutely, and here are a dozen examples. Such a pain in the ass.

SwiftUI is still very green, especially on Mac where it hasn't gotten as much attention as it has on iOS. There are some things I'm starting to use it for over UIKit on iOS, but on macOS I wouldn't bother — AppKit might be a little rough around the edges compared to UIKit, mainly due to its age, but it's a great deal more suitable for production work on macOS than SwiftUI is.
