We need them tho. Especially UUIDv4 and UUIDv5. We have a distributed system and we manage permission identities with that. Each item that's supposed to be restricted has either of these ids. UUIDv4 for global things like workspaces and users, UUIDv5 for workspace-specific stuff (the workspace UUIDv4 is given as a namespace for the v5) and it's quite beautiful and prevents clashes. So it really depends on your usage. We still have long ids that are exposed to the client tho.
The point is, the people in charge know what happened. They just have to decide what they can do about it. You're seeing it.
3.0.x is even stable on my ppc64le system, didn't even notice the upgrade.
I said it before and I'll keep repeating it, the reason why .NET lacks adoption in startups is because .NET is as much Enterprise as anything can be.

.NET has a talent pool which has somewhat peaked. Most of the .NET folks are settled in very cushy Enterprise jobs, building that Enterprise product that nobody has ever heard of but just delivers value to those businesses. These developers have gone through many years of Enterprise brainwashing and even though they wouldn't want to admit it they just think like an Enterprise developer at every stage of the development lifecycle and that doesn't attract startups.

.NET developers would make catastrophic or dumb tech choices for startups, they'd be pushing for using fringe Microsoft products such as Blazor, MAUI or ServiceBus for their projects and they rely on Microsoft for everything to be provided which the rest of the world already has adopted a long time ago. Like 9/10 .NET developers don't containerise their apps until Microsoft built in container building into their MSBuild toolchain. 9/10 .NET developers wouldn't use Docker compose to instrument a local dev environment but when Microsoft advertises them a shitty copycat project (which is dead now btw) called Tye then they will use this shit. 9/10 .NET developers will not use a NoSQL database until Microsoft came out with CosmosDb. 9/10 .NET developers will not use pub/sub or a queue until Microsoft advertised them ServiceBus. 9/10 .NET developers will not use OpenTelemetry with a Jaeger dashboard, until Microsoft provides them their own copycat clone again. It's extremely depressing to work for most .NET companies if you are a technologist because you will constantly fight against people who only do "the Microsoft way". It's awful and I totally understand why no intelligent founder would let this virus infect their business. As a startup staying away from .NET as far as possible is probably one of the smartest decisions one can do.

Having said that, if you work at Xerox, Fujitsu or IBM then .NET is brilliant. It will give you everything that will make you an outstanding developer in your manager's eyes and surely secure you many promotions.
Both GitHub and Slack have free tiers. Same principle, different software license.
On their website: "Although Paxos has the ability and the right to freeze all USD Stablecoins tokens, including PYUSD, Paxos would only deploy such ability in very limited circumstances. Paxos will report such incidents to law enforcement and/or regulators in a timeline manner, and will freeze certain PYUSD"

So at least it's honest.
The functionality of achievements as transparent telemetry seems entirely accidental, but may be the most valuable aspect of them. Now a developer can look at similar games to the one they're developing and see what filtered players (although it won't tell them why it filtered players, since 'too difficult' and 'boring' look the same in the stats). They can see what endings were popular (which usually translates to some measure of popularity score for characters, factions or whatever. That kind of info is usually traded behind closed doors for extortionate sums.
Please don't inflict more Microsoft package managers on us. All that needs fixing is there should be a supported way to delete "in-use" files just like you always could on Linux. People may make theoretical arguments about the virtues of locking files but the Linux behavior is so clearly the right thing in practice. Over the years I've encountered approximately zero problems with that behavior on Linux and dozens of problems with the Windows behavior, both as a user and as a developer.

I'm sure it would be hard to add such a thing to Windows while minimizing compatibility problems but I'm equally sure that it's possible and that it's worth the effort.
+ fancy office etc. Remember what twitter office was offering with no profit for the company? any extra was coming from companies potential profit
Thats exactly what I wrote. A parallel stricter regulatory regime makes it better than the incumbent financial regulatory regime. The irony here is that NYDFS made this regime 10 years ago when there were only small players in crypto, and it was intended to freeze them out of operating, with high requirements. Now, those same actors are big players and additional big players are still entering.

Yes Paypal can freeze PaypalUSD on an address level.
France is recently obsessed with “tier lieux” in rural place.

Coffee place, book exchange, brewery, shop-postoffice-coffee, second hand shop and the mix of all the above.

I go there every year or so, this year the “tier lieu” is what striked me as strong trend.

It’s not new, but it’s on everyone lips.
I’m not claiming it’s easy. Just that withholding features while still offering free tiers is a tried and tested business model that has demonstrated a lot of success for a lot of companies.
It doesn't matter because only an idiot would let PayPal hold any amount of their funds.

PayPal will arbitrarily freeze your funds, suspend your account, and anything else they can get away with with absolutely no quick recourse on your end.

Use PayPal as a payment system and immediately yank the funds out. Anything else is ferociously stupid.
There is no quantitative measure for the "net positive" you describe. The point is that through the consequentialist lens, there exists some cost/benefit ratio where family punishment becomes morally correct. This is in contrast to retributivists, whom according to Caplan believe that "...it is morally impermissible intentionally to punish the innocent..."

It's much easier to form coherent moral arguments when you identify clear boundaries for moral behavior versus the "ends justifying means" nature of consequentialism. Some might find that intellectually lazy, others might view it as a requirement for a consistent morality.

And no, the argument that family punishment doesn't work is not compelling when up against Caplan's historical examples of their efficacy. This is just back-rationalizing a morality not actually grounded in consequentialism. A consequentialist who isn't totally historically ignorant should at least be able to entertain the prospect of family punishment satisfying their moral framework, regardless of whether they fully buy in.
Is there a non-alcoholic Pineau de Charante? Chateau d'Yquem? A non-alcoholic Belgian Trappiste beer?

Sure, there may be some flavors of non-alcoholic drinks out there, but there's a lot more types and flavors of alcohol out there for which there is no non-alcoholic equivalent.

These days, if I'm drinking anything that is alcoholic in any way, it's because of the flavor. I've never liked the feeling of loss of control that comes with being drunk. My only problem with drinking alcohol is that if you drink too much of it because you like the flavor, then you end up getting drunk.

I think that Fury Road is a great example of purely visual storytelling.

As for the Mad Max franchise, I think of it (I can’t remember where I first saw this idea) as the same legend retold over multiple generations of oral storytellers. So the world gets less and less detailed and the characters change with each retelling.

That’s why I see it differently than I see Star Wars 7 & 9 (I loved 8 though).
Absolutely. The issue uuid should then be a UUIDv5 namespaced to the context and you only have one globally unique id. I think people just don't understand uuids properly and treat them as a "gives me some random thingy".

But... the best camera is the one you've got on you, so I can't blame anyone for the convenience factor, I also take pictures primarily with the iPhone.

Writing is only faster if you don't know how to type, which is a useful skill that is relevant today and should be taught.

Envelopes and writing on them (and MS Word, for that matter) are more of the same last-century anachronisms. Why are we teaching new people paper-based skills at all? Paper is useless outside of visual art.

At one point in my life I was motivated in a special way, worked really hard, and got to be 99.9 percentile in a quantitative test. Now I’m just a decent coder and wouldn’t stand a chance at a Jane street interview. In my opinion, aptitude is necessary, but people who can pass those interviews are differentiated by a bunch of experience and focus, mental scaffolding that takes years to build. It looks like magic from outside, but it isn’t.

My point is you shouldn’t feel inferior, you’ve just been doing different things with your brain. What’s so great about trading anyway? It’s not a particularly efficient allocation of brainpower to society.
For the curious: Here's a completely unfinished guide to how you might start developing such an application: https://marksweb.site/hta/ From HTAs, you have access to the file system, the network, the registry, the shell - everything. It might be a bit different than normal web dev, but it's not too bad either.

> I do think I understand this, but rendering it into words is turning out to be surprisingly challenging.

A p-value of .05 means that, under the assumption that the null hypothesis you specified is true, you just observed a result which lies at the 5th percentile of the outcome space, sorted along some metric (usually "extremity of outcome"). That is to say, out of all possible outcomes, only 5% of them are as "extreme" as, or more "extreme" than, the outcome you observed.

It doesn't tell you anything about the odds that any result is due to chance. It tells you how often the null hypothesis gives you a result that is "similar", by some definition, to the result you observed.
Not sure. What big changes happened thanks to eg women getting the vote?

In the US, it was mostly Prohibition I guess?
I've had good decaf where I can't taste the difference between that and the caffeinated stuff.

That's not the same issue here.

And when it comes to soft drink, I can actually taste the difference between the caffeinated stuff and decaf. My mom ran that double-blind test on me when I was younger, where I was not exactly a willing participant. When I proved to her that I could actually taste the difference, she stopped trying to run double blind experiments on me.
same experience, except it wasn't that simple. A family member told me I should settle with them, because that's what they did too. They wiped the balance and closed the account but the settlement stayed on my credit score for 7 years. I had a friend who was getting calls by a debt servicer and was making it seem like no big deal. I told my friend to ask the person about the 7 years, the person reluctantly admitted that his credit score will be flagged for 7 years.
I don't think they'll even wait for the trolling. Small/mid tier studios are not going to accept it because they literally cannot afford to. New developers aren't going to accept it, because it now creates a poor value proposition for an ecosystems who's primary selling point is 'lower capability, but easier than Unreal.' The only people that might be able to accept are those big high revenue studies, but those are also the exact group capable of 'negotiating' for better terms.

Even if this is a just an effort to roll out some less oppressive changes with less backlash than doing so immediately would entail (because they can now frame this initially planned roll out as indeed 'listening to the community'), this really just has clueless MBA stamped all over it, because the brand/trust damage here is serious, and that for a ship that's already sinking.

3g for less than a second is really not to that much. Most people can easily withstand 3g sustained for minutes with (almost) no preparation. Just don't forget to breathe and maybe contract your leg muscles a bit. Many can go up to 7g sustained with half a day of training.

What's wrong with it for the uninitiated?
While people (ex: dictators) are often used as the face of evil, the influence of one person is always limited. Assuming that "killing Hitler" would have prevented WWII (and the other atrocities) could easily lead to the mindset of "someone else is responsible for global situation X", while I think a better mindset is "everybody influences a bit".
That's back when they were live. The pre-recorded presentations are hideously overproduced mush with no excitement or soul.

For the Trappiste monks at monasteries like Orval (in Belgium), they did brew a special beer that was just for the consumption of the monks. But it was still alcoholic, just lower in alcohol. Low enough that you would be likely to get full before you get drunk.

I've heard the same for many historical wineries.
Also, can one maybe view updateWith as taking whereFn and returning a kind of lens?
We do that all the time. Modern day smart tech with microwaves, tv, phones etc. And I'd consider it equally bullshit if the brand behind my microwave decided to start charging me for each meal I heated. Or like what's going on with printers.

You are mistaken, the industry is free to innovate and decide on a better standard together. USB-C isn't written into the legislation.

We all learn the value of free software one way or another. For many of us, including myself, it was through similar pain and suffering due to a proprietary platform.
I got around this limitation by adding my home NAS to the Files app. On the iOS side: set up the SMB connection in Files, hit the Share button on files I want to transfer, point it to a folder on the NAS, and transfer. On the PC side, I just grab the file in Explorer.

Airdrop works well for sharing files to other people's iOS devices, but I'd argue SMB is actually better for my use case. Airdrop sends files to a Mac's Downloads folder. SMB transferred files go exactly where I want them on the first try. The difference is just a couple extra taps in the 'Share' modal.

Though I must admit this isn't a solution for everyone. I doubt many iPhone users have a NAS stood up at home and would be happy to spend money on the 'simpler' solution of purchasing turnkey products and services from Apple.
I have read Meditations as a teenager and later in life when I was smarter, more mature, and responsible, and with some background in Philosophy, the book hit completely differently.

I recognized many of my early interpretation as lacking depth or true understanding.

And I see so many people not much different from their YA self. Not all people grow significantly.

This leads me to believe that many people have an understanding of Meditations that is lacking.
Great idea. I'd suggest turning the clock 180°. Since we are used to having the clock wrap around on the top not the bottom. There is a saying (at least here in Germany) it's "5 to 12" meaning it's time to act now, which is what your clock is trying to symbolize. That would work better if the "12" was in its usual (top) position.
> Nooo! First, if one actually works, you’ve massively increased the “noise” for the other experiments

I get that a bunch at some of my clients. It's a common misconception. Let's say experiment B is 10% better than control but we're also running experiment C at the same time. Since C's participants are evenly distributed across B's branches, by default they should have no impact on the other experiment.

If you do a pre/post comparison, you'll notice that for whatever reason, both branches of C are doing 5% better than prior time periods, and this is because half of them are in the winner branch of B.

NOW - imagine that the C variant is only an improvement _if_ you also include the B variant. That's where you need to be careful about monitoring experiment interactions, I called out in the guide. But better so spend a half day writing an "experiment interaction" query than two weeks waiting for the experiments to run in sequence.

> Second, xkcd 882 (https://xkcd.com/882/)
I think you're referencing P-hacking, right?

That is a valid concern to be vigilant for. In this case, XKCD is calling out the "find a subgroup that happens to be positive" hack (also here, https://xkcd.com/1478/). However, here we're testing (a) 3 different ideas and (b) only testing each of them once on the entire population. No p-hacking here (far as I can tell, happy to learn otherwise), but good that you're keeping an eye out for it.
Thunderbird never quite used XULRunner, I think; they always built their own binary (though at some point quite a lot of the shared stuff moved into the XRE stuff). Think of it as they had a fork of Firefox (much like Firefox had a stripped down fork of the SeaMonkey stuff).

Also, I think one of the Start Menus (might have been XP‽) was kind of HTA-ish? Not sure about that part, though.

It sounds like you already have exactly the right perspective.
It _is_ a nightmare. That $200M isn't their money, it's not in their pockets, and it's far short of what it was hoped to be. You framed it perfectly, and so did they: they're in deep shit, and it's a horror story.
I don't like how it could result in surprises. e.g. you use it to update an array, but there are objects inside, which you accidentally modify.

I think these surprises could be reduced if you turn them into explicit parameters in the signature, e.g.

export const updateWhere = (whereFn, updatefn, thing, recurseArray=true , recurseObjects=true)
It should be noted that outside of the US tech bubble, $100m lasts plenty long for 100 people, even with overheads.
This is completely false.

The EU states that companies should agree to use the same connector, it does not state which one it should be. If the major companies convene and decide on USB-D in the future they can do that and let the EU know.

Case in point: all companies collectively decided that USB-C was better than Micro USB and moved over. They did not 'delay' anything, it was the process working as intended.
> but the fact they are applying this retroactively to every game every made in Unity

that also seems like it should not be legal no matter what you put in your TOS, at least in some jurisdictions it probably isn't (in the same way that e.g. conditional auto-termination contracts are no actually auto-terminating in many jurisdictions even if it's written in the contract)

Ask HN: What are the LangChain's parts not easy replicable with custom code?
For individuals who have invested significant time in developing LLM-based applications using Langchain, it's important to acknowledge that a critical perspective on Langchain has been expressed in various articles and discussions. Given this context, I would like to inquire about the specific aspects of Langchain that, in your experience, stand out as being challenging to replicate with custom code. In other words, considering the potential criticisms and recognizing your expertise, could you elaborate on the strengths and unique functionalities of Langchain that make it a valuable choice in LLM integration and that are not easily replaceable through the development of custom solutions? Your insights will be valuable in shedding light on Langchain's merits and differentiators for the benefit of others in the field.

Here are some problems identified by the users, but I would like to find the gems in LangChain that justify using it.

Problems:

1. Overly complex and unnecessary abstractions
2. Easy breakable and unreliable
3. Poor documentation
4. A high level of abstraction hinders customization
5. Inefficient token usage
6. Difficult integration with existing tools
7. Limited value proposition
8. Inconsistent behavior and hidden details
9. Better alternatives available
10. Primarily optimized for demos
