The water carries minerals from the soil back into the river, which get more concentrated each time. Salt is a major concern (this is the source of ocean salt), and in major irrigation rivers like the colorado is a major issue that is controlled carefully for downstream users, for whom it would otherwise be too salty to use for irrigation.

The US treaty with mexico dictates the salt content of the river at the border for this reason. The southwest US used to be home to a widespread desert irrigation agricultural people, the Hohokum, and failure to manage soil salt content is afaik still the leading hypothesis for their disappearance. So no unfortunately water that flows back into the river isn't neutral.
where is darknet opsec and the current state of things discussed?

I used to use Dread and various DNM forums to find people to talk with and read their threads. It was usually far more complex and nuanced than what I would find on clearnet

It does stand to reason that when you interact with ChatGPT in English, you're tapping into the english knowledgebase of Japan which is going to be less correct and in depth than that of Japanese texts. No different to reading an English translation of a Japanese book, it'll never be an exact transfer of knowledge and emotion.

That said I have found it a pretty good study partner, you just can't treat it like an authority.
> Read the documentation on the Gameplay Framework. All of it!

Is it just me or is this an unviable learning strategy? My approach for learning anything has always been to follow small tutorials, build an intuition, and only consult docs when I need some specifics.
I don't use Python or Django anymore but I'm always happy to hear about it and kinda surprised to learn it's still being chosen today for massive-scale social media sites. To me, Django was my go-to for cranking out a usable MVP in the shortest time possible. It made it so easy, I could define a DB schema and it would generate these forms with validation built in. I kinda miss those days.

Its been a few years since I've had to go through Penn Station directly other than for LIRR. As I recall from my NE Corridor commuting days the lounge requires an Amtrak ticket. The NJ Transit waiting area had no lounge and no seats meaning people would begin to bunch up on the stairs. Admittedly, it might have changed in the intervening years.

Python apps using popular frameworks (not all frameworks) are generally (not always) easy to scale. The app itself is mostly just "spawn another instance somewhere" - storage and sessions and all that can be complex, but that's not really impacted by the app framework/language.
Just use a name and username of someone else that's well known enough. Not like famous, but someone that shows up in enough search results.

So that if someone tries to search about you, they are buried in all the noise and data of the other person.
Makes sense, I should’ve lead off with that.
AWS RDS and Aurora both support synchronous and asynchronous lambda invocations from the database. Should be used very carefully, but when you want/need a fully event-driven architecture, it's wonderful.

Yes, the managed switch could be a possibility, the "box somewhere" is an added complication, but sounds like easy enough.

Essentially what I was looking for would be an easily programmable managed switch capable of pinging and switching ports on and off, i.e. a self-contained one.

Maybe something like that can be done with an Arduino or a RaspberryPi or similar small boards, but I was hoping there was something similar already made.

I'll believe this argument when we start giving a shit about the poor when it comes to the literal basic necessities like food and housing.

And plus, this is such shortsighted thinking when the whole point of right to repair is to reduce the total cost of ownership and longevity of electronics by making them not disposable.

This reasoning also applies to literally every regulation in every field and product segment. We can apparently never set the bar higher than the ground.

What you're saying is correct, but oh boy have I worked on Django apps that have had awful security issues because of this. "look, all my endpoints are there, user A must only be able to reset their own password... right? ;)"

Also you don't have to miss those days! You can still use Django or a similar library? I still use Flask, it is great.
You forgot to mention all the superfund sites that have only recently been cleaned up. Some of which aren’t done yet.

These sites are all on the Jordan river, and it’s tributaries, which empty into the great salt lake.

> Because document markup is much more robust against small errors and probably remains readable while your code likely just crashes?

Exactly. The parser is designed to parse documents, not code. The document has a structure (like sections, paragraphs, tables, etc). When the structure doesn’t quite make sense, the parser still displays the content (the blog, story, words, etc).

> But was this worth it, could better tooling not have achieved the same with good error messages helping to fix errors?

You need to think about compatibility, especially backwards compatibility. If the standard was so strict that any error resulted in the browser rejecting to parse the document, then as the specification evolved every website would need to be updated. The lack of constraints around standards also means that different browsers can evolve and implement different features at different cadences.

There are a lot of things that goes on in production to scale any service to handle that level of requests. But Django as a web framework is good at what it does. It comes in with most things that one needs to put web apps in production.

We recently open-sourced an LLM apps platform (https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack) that is entirely built with django as backend (drf for APIs, channels for websockets and reactjs for frontend).
This is largely due to Meta maintaining an internal performance-oriented production version of CPython: https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder .
Comment on the timing of this IPO: for a company to IPO "unfavorably" compared to previous valuations likely means ARM's hand was forced by timing considerations, unless they are running out of cash, which I don't think is the case.

My interpretation of this is that their investors suspect that whatever boost ARM is getting from AI optimism will likely peak soon, so the timing has to be now.

I know that's not fully rational because they're mostly unrelated, but certainly the optimism because of AI has to be good for them. Curious to see if this "signal" plays out - investors tend to be pretty savvy about timing.

As someone who recently learned UE: yes, this is completely unviable. The UE API docs are almost useless. Use Rider and its code navigation instead, you'll get much better results.

A more important issue that's not being considered here is that when they had their debacle with Improbable, they committed to a GitHub repo[1] with all the ToS changes and outright said that people could keep using the ToS of whatever major version of Unity they used[2].

They have now deleted the repo, so I wonder if they're just gonna pretend they never committed to that.

Not only batching. It works by serving different requests as long as they share the prefix.

This basically enables KV cache reuse when there is a prefix matching (from my shallow understanding of how KV cache works).

I think it's just different learning styles. My preference for learning e.g. a new programming language has always been to read a book cover to cover as the first step (if it's a language established enough to have a book anyway). Note that it's not important that I actually understand everything on this first pass. The cover to cover is mostly about getting the lay of the land so I know what exists, then, even years later when I have a problem that could be solved by using some bit of the language that I read about but didn't really understand but vaguely recall is a thing it springs to mind and I can do my deep dive on that aspect then.
I can't help but be reminded of the people who jumped from Twitter to Threads.

Ultimately, the recent wave of enshittifications of major products - Unity, Twitter and Reddit off the top of my head - It's a hard reminder that lock-in and governance matters. Software is a long investment, so it's time to start thinking very hard about how the software you use is run, and how much control you have if it all goes sideways.

I realize that OSS options like Godot aren't really comparable, but since Unreal's main competitor is Unity, it feels likely that Unreal could do something similar since they don't have a competitor keeping the pressure on about price anymore.
...what's frustrating about the hierarchical nature of filesystems?

Literally the only ways I can think of historically is mounts/links; which in the POSIX world have been the source of some gigantic piles of academic salt, but in day-to-day (read: relatively sane operation), I've never encountered a case where one can't speed things up for one self by leveraging said hierarchical structure expressively.

In fact, I'd anticipate any type of system that tries to hide paths behind tagging to eventually reduce to "a hierarchical filesystem, where the tag(s), (or combination thereof) represents a folder. It just provides a different mechanism of dimensionality, that I'd assert is more deleterious to the learnability of the entire thing. The desktop/document filing metaphor at least has a first order bootstrap. Drop a person ina situation with a bunch of uncategorized data and something to put it in, and I wager you'll get a hierarchical storage scheme emerging naturally more often than not. "Tagging" requires a db and someone to have already built the index.

It's not like it saves you from having to define where your bloody bits are in the first place.
You could write a short PowerShell script that recursively deletes shortcuts and symlinks, but I'd certainly take a full backup and have it offline before I kicked out off.

I get the impression that Unity did not do a lot of homework before rolling this out. Several aspects of the policy they’ve waffled on, and when asked about who would pay the fee for GamePass games, they said the distributor would, but it appears the distributors were not consulted on this.

Not to say they didn’t consult with the major Unity players, but it seems plausible that they didn’t based on the carelessness of the rest of the rollout.
Yeah I agree. For me personally the best combination seems to be a quick start guide to get me bootstrapped and let me get the gun poinTed at my feet, and then solid normal documentation for me to mend my feet each time after I shoot myself.

Some of it is a matter of it being hard to even have the language to know how to ask the questions you have, so a bootstrap or quick start to let you just get in there and start looking around helps a ton and makes the full documentation a lot more accessible.
Yeah, they may have looked at the number of users on Android 8 and decided it was worth it for everyone else to stop spending time making sure they don't break it.

Unit test frameworks are the modern, convenient, methodology to control bubbling up an output, when multiple assertions fail. This is what observing the red (suite failed) or green (suite succeeded) is.

Executing a suite requires a manual interaction (ie > run suite or > make build -> runs suite or > edit cron -> runs suite). In a way, all testing is still manual, but test suites allow us to scale testing, which logs do not (1million log files is impractical to use as testing output). That's why unit test frameworks are a good thing.

I generally try not to publicly link my HN activity to my IRL identity, but my email's in my bio if you have any specific inquiries!

To the larger point about Django and e-commerce, though, I'll share that we do a large volume of complex transactions where multiple funds flows for different parties need to be coordinated, so it's been vital to be able to have a dynamic data model to track the payables/receivables lifecycle of a given booking and add overrides/configurability to handle unique situations as they come along. Django's been a perfect match for that, the framework source code is very approachable (IMO much less "magical" than Rails in this regard while having the same level of expressivity and shorthand), and since it's Python, it works extremely well with data science tooling as well.
There is a double standard sure. It's up to us to make the best of our situation.

Some of us do get pretty close and modify stuff like EFS to enable/disable functions (voNR) and enable bands that were present but not legal at the time the device was certified. In US, band 77 was disabled on many devices but later became legal to use. The manufacturers didn't want to pay for the recertification but the device is capable otherwise. We also sometimes add band combinations (for carrier aggregation) that the manufacturer missed.

Same here. Dont understand why not more ppl switched to alpine on the desktop. It is my daily driver. Plus LXD for stuff I must do (typically spawn ubuntu, etc.)

I started designing websites from around the age of 12. That would have been the early 2000s, so while it wasn't the very early days of the web it was still a nightmare to build anything that looked good and would work cross-browser.

The main difficulty back then wasn't the design, but all the random tricks and hacks you'd have to learn before you could do anything that looked impressive and worked reliably. And I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it took years to get good at.

But since I had just been doing this for fun since I was a kid I didn't really appreciate how difficult it was until I got to university and found myself trying to explain things to people who had never used CSS and HTML before.

Being a good web developer in the 2000s basically meant becoming an encyclopedia of random CSS and browser bugs. Half the time there was no logic in what you did, just pure brute force memorisation of cross-browser weirdness, CSS compatibility tables and JS hacks.

Things are better now, but I do miss those times. The simplest things were challenging back then.

I think people should rephrase it to "not engineered to last/repair". This is a much easier metric to point out and is about equivalent (though, less nefarious) to what they mean.

If you use that metric, it's insanely easy to quantify. Just look at the average refrigerator today, compared to one from the 50s-70s. It's a fraction of the cost, but it's built from cheaper/less reliable parts in a repair-unfriendly (but quick to produce) manner. The idea being that you'll buy a new fridge every 8-12 years and recycle (ideally) the old one, versus spending the cost of a car on one and keeping it for a generation or two. This is what planned obsolescence means, usually.

The only nefariously intended to "break" items that I can think of are electronic devices that are unrootable and rely on third-party networked services.
