Plus the latest version of the software. I would still be using Office 2013 if I had to pay what I paid for it to upgrade every release (multiplied by the half a dozen or so O365 licenses I'm currently using.)
Agreed, everyone who complains about dependency arrays almost certainly hasn't used the linting rule. That being said, I'm not sure that an API is well-designed if the only way to use it effectively is by forcing you to even know there is an eslint plugin to begin with, and then once you do know that, that means now you're being forced to add eslint to your project whether you like it or not. And sometimes eslint just stops working for who knows what reason, I have a developer on my team who's constantly dealing with issues where his eslint/prettier setup isn't running correctly.
You see this time and time again, some initiative to "just introduce some backdoors, what could go wrong", and then it takes some time for people who understand what it actually means to convince them that it is in fact a really bad idea and it would be a giant disaster.
Is this supposed to be profound? It is literally devoid of any argument and is functionally equivalent of saying ”people in ideological group X are so dumb they don’t even understand their own ideology lol”. You could re-use it for any ideology, religion or conviction and it’s equally intellectually vapid for each.

Retention policies are not necessarily about storage space; sometimes, they are there to avoid being required to provide that old data during lawsuits.
Ask HN: How do you learn about Art History?
I really enjoyed learning about Art History in School. Artists, painting styles, etc are all fascinating to me. Now that I'm more than a decade removed from that class, I'd like to refresh my memory and learn more about artists in general.

What online resources can be used to refresh/learn about art?
Vitalik Buterin co-authors paper on Tornado Cash alternative
I'm 49 and started with the Commodore 64, and function based components with hooks are so much cleaner than the old class based components, it's unbelievable.

The classes had closely related functionality spread out over several different methods making them hard to understand at a glance, function based components are very concise.

I think people who dislike hooks tend to overuse useEffect (it's rarely needed) and to do too much inside components rather than inside custom hooks.
Have you consider alternative explanations such Yahoo! doing a stealth layoff by shaking off employees who want remote working or require it because they reside in a different metro area? IBM was infamous for shaking off headcount by requiring employees to move cities. Or management’s inability to measure performance so they resort to lowest common denominator methods like ending remote work instead of just correcting individual bad behaviors through discussions, PIPs, termination, etc.
I disagree.

Also, POSIX is from some 30+ years ago now. It's been replaced with the Single Unix Specification and even now there are a dozen odd certified compliant OSes, and hundreds more that could be but haven't bothered. Several Linux distros have passed, meaning that Linux is UNIX now.

POSIX/the SUS is very useful. There are more OSes that can pass now than when the commercial stuff was at its peak.

And there are de facto standards that are more use. A mate of mine jokes that the stable Linux app API is Win32 because WINE on Linux is now more compatible across more versions than any 1 distro's own packages over decades, and more compatible on more platforms than Windows itself.

But saying that, Linux itself is an ABI now, and you can successfully run Linux binaries, without Linux itself being present, on Windows, on FreeBSD, on Solaris/Illumos and I suspect on other OSes as well.

So, you are free to mock POSIX and Linux compatibility, but in real life, it's true and it is valid and it works and people pay for this. It is real and it is useful.

Similarly, stick J Random Punter in front of a text editor on Windows, macOS, or any xNix with a GUI, and they will be able to edit some text, cut and paste, and save it.

Put them in front of Vim or Emacs, and they won't.

For me, I don't give an electronic sausage how much use they are for a skilled programmer. That 2-para definition there is the acid test. Any editor that fails it can GTFO and DIAF.

This, to Vim heads and Emacs gurus, is a weird and heretical thought.

Tough. I have nearly 40 years experience in this stuff, across more OSes than just about any other living human I know could even _name_, and I absolutely stand by it.

There is a standard. Meet it, or die.
This does not look like a good benchmark test for an LLM capability.
Most workers in the tech sector are young, and young people earning below-median salaries are salivating at the idea of moving, at some point in the near future, due to their skills, market conditions, luck or wishful thinking, into the above-median bracket.

Add to that the fact that the job market for tech workers is extremely fluid, and I don't think unionization is going to happen anytime soon.

I'm in the same boat - whenever I think it would be faster to use chatgpt it usually ends up being a waste of time and flow breaker. And it got worse over time. At some point a few months ago I realized I haven't used it once in a month, so why keep paying ?

Hi Andi,

Most databases have their main storage on disk. That is how they define the D in ACID, durable. That is not the salient point regarding what an in-memory database is.

There were several good suggestions clearly expressed, but I agree the signal-to-noise ratio was not great--also true for a lot of books and articles you can still learn from.

What would you recommend as better books or articles on the topic of structuring serious conversations?
That’s not novel. You could say the same thing for a GitHub Pages page, or a Code Sandbox, or an S3 static site, or really anything.

The only reason that would be a threat is if you implicitly trusted smolsite.zip, which would be an odd thing to do.
> Socialism is the fundamental reordering of society to benefit the lowest wrung.

That is not the definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism

> You can have socialism with markers still, which is what is done in syndicalist style socialism.

Co-ops have never operated outside the bounds of a democracy with a State. Notwithstanding, they don't appear to scale very well. The most common use case is related to agriculture, though there's a single mid-scale company in Spain that ancoms like to tout.

No one wants to take on all the risk of starting a business while socializing all the profit, hence, we don't usually see these spring up. But if the model is so good for workers, naturally, you'd expect popularity to rise. They've been around a long time and we're still waiting for that to happen.

> You can have limited social programs as a form of socialism as per social democrats.

That's just mixed economy, part of the fabric of Liberalism. Socialism necessitates the elimination of Capitalism.

> I question if my tolerance is moral often. To be highly moral you probably need to have good intolerances which I'm not capable of.

Don’t forget the incredible subjectivity of morality. And defining the intolerable things that would constitute a “highly moral” person is extremely tricky because one could easily argue that tolerance is innately tied to morality.

I would love to learn more about philosophy because I’m unsure how the answer isn’t always “I don’t know.” Though maybe it is. The more I think about these things, the more I understand the underlying nuances, but invariably walk away thinking “I don’t know.” It’s frustrating but fun

Were you using the base model or the conversational model?

The post says:

The base model has no prompt format. Remember that it’s not a conversational model or trained with instructions, so don’t expect it to generate conversational responses—the pretrained model is a great platform for further finetuning, but you probably shouldn’t driectly use it out of the box.

It's hard to guarantee what will happen in 5 years. Even if the vendor was really principled, who will honor their support commitment when they go bankrupt?

Instead of a "guarantee that it will run properly in 4-6 years" you should be looking for "guarantee that you can find a workaround when it breaks in 4-6 years". Avoid lock in, proprietary formats and protocols, poor compatibility, requirement for exotic platforms... Many DirectX games work great in Wine. It's the ones that do crazier tricks that are harder to deal with.

Also known as HTTP Status Code 414
Paywalled so here are some I invented:

1) Become a specialist in a language or framework.

2) Being able to scale a website to handle thousands of concurrent users should inform the stack you choose at the start

3) You can Google anything

4) Copy-paste engineering is acceptable when in a time-crunch, or you feel like it

5) Never write raw HTML, CSS, or JS. Those are ancient technologies, and should always be wrapped in modern tech because it’s safer.

6) You don’t need to understand security, because modern frameworks handle it for you

Any others?

You don't even have to build your own model. The "censored" one is the "chat" variant but they also provide a "base" unmodified variant that you can use to fine tune your own chatbot.
Malice is, in many ways, a key ingredient to success in many spaces. While people will rarely admit it to others, many who are successful often operate knowing that wealth is something you take not something you make. The more you understand the desires and motivations of those who you are taking from the easier it is to take from them—be it from consumers or labor.

When I see people who have a hard time "breaking through" and are always struggling, it's often because they lack the perspective necessary.
I wonder where does this end? I do feel like nearly once a year some country in western world tries to ban encryption. Can we just make it a right to encrypt communications and be done with this endless debate?
Do you only get updates once? Since they even have to provide updates forever for free, which is unstainable, or provide no updates and then your software is aging from day one, and eventually won't even run on modern infrastructure and now teams have a to hire people with more unknown costs to handle all that vs a set monthly fee, or they have to charge for occasional updates in which case it's essentially a self hosted subscription. So unless they have some how solved those problems, not sure of any future for this, other than for some enterprise that already buys once and rarely ever updates and is okay with those downsides for the sake of what they believe to be better security.
Can you point to an example of a country that had/has a similar mentality to the US and it backfired?

While it is a travesty that the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the “convenience rule”, NY state only taxes income from work performed outside of NY state if the worker sometimes works within NY state and could have worked in NY state.

https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/memos/income/m06_5i.pdf

The premise is:

>If a nonresident employee . . .performs services for his employer both within and without New York State,

So if you never worked in NY state, or move away from NY state, then you are not liable for NY income taxes.
But no true Scotsman…
Until you look at Intuit, you used to be able to buy their accounting software and have the critical records for your business. Now their accounting software requires an internet connection and a subscription and puts your critical records behind a paywall and gives them access to your data for whatever purpose they want. And they keep ratcheting up the price and putting more and more features behind higher tier subscriptions.
Which is influenced by what products consumers can buy in the first place and what products they know and have a good impression of - which is in turn influenced by the decision of large distributors and media companies etc...

"Compression bombs that use the zip format must cope with the fact that DEFLATE, the compression algorithm most commonly supported by zip parsers, cannot achieve a compression ratio greater than 1032. For this reason, zip bombs typically rely on recursive decompression, nesting zip files within zip files to get an extra factor of 1032 with each layer. But the trick only works on implementations that unzip recursively, and most do not."

That's a very florid unsubstantiated ad-hominem. You could at least attempt to refute the actual claim being made. Several of OpenAI's "founding donors" feel burned by the taking-it-private shenanigans, so it's not exactly an outlandish take.
Yeah I'm not sure why "small" had to make it in that argument. I guess it's to say that the differences _may_ be small because large differences, regardless of proximity, is obviously a source of conflict?

Yes. As I said in my previous post, remote workers are not required to rto. RTO only applies to non remote workers. Actually remote visits are limited because the offices are kinda full now.

I'm failing to see how this is relevant to this discussion.
1. While your context about auto-tuning is accurate and valuable, it doesn't really address the fundamental strangeness that the parent post is commenting about: It's still strange that it can auto-tune to a higher value than you can manually tune it to.

2. It's always valuable to provide further references, but I'd guess that down-voters found the "It's pretty clearly documented" phrasing a little condescending? Perhaps "See the docs at [] for more information."?

3. "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

RTO is not some huge secret conspiracy.

Companies have long-term leases on their offices. Office space is the single most expensive line-item on most companies financials. They want to maximize the use of these very expensive assets, and having workers in the offices accomplishes this.

From a more practical perspective, working from home is great for more senior workers who are already established in their careers and know what they're doing, but it's hugely detrimental to the career development of younger workers, who largely learn from working alongside their older/more senior counterparts. Communicating over email, slack, zoom, etc., just isn't the same, and you can see this across pretty much every white collar domain--even programming. This is why companies have pretty much settled on hybrid schedules; it allows for the in-person collaboration while still allowing workers greater freedom in where they work.

And while you're complaining about "the workers" consider that essentially all blue-collar jobs have been on-site full-time even through the pandemic.

Supply and demand is a part of the free market philosophy, and it also exists in non-capitalist ideologies. What a free market is supposed to do is well understood and studied...what it actually does with the addition of caveats such as political motives, human nature, competition, etc... is very different.

If the taxes are performed to make the economy just or fairer (as opposed to finding public necessities), possibly.

I understand the absurdity of it. We had taxes for a long time before socialism. And we obviously need taxes.

But a long-term criticism of the welfare state has been that it co-opted taxes from being a means to fund public services to a means to reward/rebalance/rework society towards politically favoured groups.
I was in a newish car (~2019 as opposed to my 51-year-old one) recently and those THICC pillars really stood out as being detrimental to visibility, not to mention the claustrophobic overall feeling of the interior.

This was the big turning point for me, and I'm in my forties. Thinking that I couldn't enjoy exercise was mainly because my 'form' was so bad it literally hurt.

Sorry to keep quoting parts of the essay in here, but I think the essay puts it better than I would:

> To borrow Chesterton’s example, if you think divorce is a-ok, then you don’t get to “forgive” people their divorces, you merely ignore them. Someone who thinks divorce is abhorrent can “forgive” divorce. You can forgive theft, or murder, or tax evasion, or something you find abhorrent.

> I mean, from a utilitarian point of view, you are still doing the correct action of not giving people grief because they’re a divorcee. You can have all the Utility Points you want. All I’m saying is that if you “forgive” something you don’t care about, you don’t earn any Virtue Points.
There's definitely strong thermal concerns with a flashlight now that everything is LED with lithium cellsand the chips want to stay cool.

Unless maybe there's a demand for simpler lights somewhere? I tend to forget that non-LED light sources are actually a thing, but that it's pretty cool to make one from scratch at the level of hand silvered reflectors!

I'd probably be putting LED and battery temperature sensing in anything I made, so I wouldn't be too worried about safety, but it would be a mechanical challenge that would likely take some iteration to get right on the mechanical side.
Oh, this is a cool experiment!
