Sorry, I should have used the correct org terms.

But, as the parent of an Eagle scout, I think my point still stands. Either they can, or can't, trust the Eagle to be honest.

IMHO, that trust should be a necessary condition for awarding Eagle.

And if the council isn't capable of making that call, then they're perhaps unqualified for deciding whether or not to award Eagle rank.

(I realize my position is a bit simplistic. I paired it down for brevity.)

> Do you think a person’s cartridge of Pokemon Sun is going to stop working after this?

No, but some of the game's features will stop working. It's not a huge deal for Pokemon because it's primarily a singleplayer game, but that isn't the case for all games. Splatoon, for example, is a primarily online Wii U game that will no longer be playable at all after this shutdown (they had already shut down the servers for this game earlier this year due to a security issue, and took 5 whole months to fix it before bringing them back).

As time goes on, more and more games become reliant on online servers to function, more and more of their functionality is lost once those servers are shut down.
I made a version of this using boring tech (Postgres, Django, Python) by just counting the number of times a book link (not just books, youtube videos, arxiv papers etc) is posted in Hacker News comments. I also did a bunch of calculations around the poster of the link and replies to the posted link. The reality is that boring tech does not get attention and engagement.
Or will they bring even more terrible UI redesigns than "Material You" where a third of the screen area is whitespace? Google's incentive structure does that to products. No one has ever got promoted for fixing bugs or listening to user feedback.
Exactly. What I want is only security updates and no feature updates unless I explicitly consent. It's simply in vogue for designers to redesign the software interface every once a while and they invariably fuck up niche use cases.

It would be nice if they did that, but if you pay for 3 years of support, then you should only expect 3 years of support. Google is clear about this and haven't failed so far:

Google themselves are stepping up but this needs to be legislated for the whole ecosystem. I don’t care if it’s hard, it’s important. This is a major stream of e-waste that is directly caused by google and their policies around android.

Microsoft can figure out how to enforce hardware standards on new systems via partnership with vendors while maintaining an independent hardware ecosystem for users. Google doesn’t want to, but it shouldn’t be their choice anyway.
They are productive, because they are literally different things.

I would equally be annoyed if someone called an Apple an Orange, because they are not the same thing.
Designing fonts for languages that use Chinese characters is often challenging due to the sheer number of glyphs.

This approach to generating fonts is very interesting… feels like it could unlock the creation of heavily stylized fonts that just wouldn’t be feasible otherwise.

Does anyone here know how Standard ML inferred types? I really loved coding in SML and its strongly type checking system. The amount of bugs I produced was noticeably less. What I'm wondering is why we can't use a similar system as SML to infer the types. Other languages haven't adopted a similar system so there must be some kind of trade off. What was the downside?

Regardless of the /64 limit, I expect DHCPv6 will win out in the consumer side (with ISPs giving customers pre-configured wifi routers with DHCPv6 already configured). SLAAC is both very complicated, and its privacy extensions are anyway not something ISPs have been friendly to even if it weren't such an extra hassle.
The 78% agreement rate between judges and juries suggests a shared interpretation of evidence, which indirectly indicates both are following the same 'reasonable doubt' standard.

The 3% disagreement where judges would have convicted doesn't prove juries 'ignore' reasonable doubt; it reflects normal variance in human judgment.

Legal decisions aren't coin tosses—such a high agreement is unlikely if both parties weren't generally applying the same legal standard.
I love this! It's just perfect, thanks.

It makes me think about Lemmy from Motorhead and the stories of him playing video poker in the Rainbow Bar and Grill, LA.

So this implies that seven years from now, Android, a long-time feature-complete OS, will still somehow be incomplete and in need of regular updates. We have this saying in my language: a samurai doesn't have a goal, he only has a path.

I do like Pi. I might say that arduino or even a knockoff pi might be better fir the simple fact of availability. It's taking a long time (6mo) to get some models of Pi, and they are getting more expensive now.
That's a waste of your time and your money. When you consult with your lawyer they're going to point out the Code of Student Conduct you agreed to that stipulates how automated tools are being used to detect plagiarism - tools that have been in place and in use for over ten years at this point.

If anything, the new generation of AI tools should reduce the false positives. As another commenter here noted, even humans weren't perfect at this task. We've never been able to reduce the false positives to zero.

Meanwhile, you owe your lawyer $350 for your initial consultation.
You're making a very strong statement, so we might as well look at extreme cases, namely the formally verified middle-end of CompCert: https://users.cs.utah.edu/~regehr/papers/pldi11-preprint.pdf

I believe this would count as empirical evidence of very strong static typing reducing bugs.
I think this points to what many other comments have been getting at, which is that typing is not a binary yes/no question, but a large, multi-axis (static/dynamic, strong/weak) spectrum with lots difference between type systems, as well as big differences in how people apply those type systems to their problem. You could still work in a static, strongly typed language and represent everything as strings, converting back and forth as necessary, but that's essentially working in a dynamically typed language. You could also take advantage of the tools the type system gives you in order to reap the benefits, creating classes representing the legal values and asserting important invariants.

> Well, if I have a choice between a corporation [...] I’ll choose private corporations every time.

To have a choice in the first place, you can't participate in a regulated market. Right now, you're complaining that your favorite player can't "win" a game of Blackjack by overruling the dealer. I don't know what to tell you; those are the rules of the game. Apple can go play their Calvinball economy in some other developing market, and so can you.

See? Freedom of choice.

Yup. A good project manager makes everything feel smoother and less chaotic, is absolutely worthwhile.

Bad project managers just enable micromanagement and amplify the weaknesses of management.
Universities care. They can't charge as much for just 1 & 2.

The rest of us might too, if we expect "I have a degree in X from Y university" to imply some level of competence.

There are alternatives to Godot, in particular I'll mention ZimJS https://zimjs.com/about.html#features

Like you, I recently created an online casino game, Cheat at Blackjack https://play.cheatatbj.com/

and used ZimJS for all of the animation. I considered Godot but found it simpler to do everything in client-side JS.

Zim's web site is definitely a bit "out there" but the animation features are quite good and it allowed me, a terrible artist, to program my game quickly and add a lot of visual flair -- dealing the cards, the dealer checking for blackjack, chips sliding, the bouncy result status, etc.

They can say "thanks to all my supporters". it's just fallacy to think the creator actually cares. it's a simple copy&paste from a list from their patreon (or whatever) to the text editor of their editing software. it's even less if they aren't even the ones doing the editing. sure, they all say "we love our supporters". it's just like people that donate to NPR so they can have their names read out over the air.

how is their sincerity (more to the point, lack thereof) confusing to you?
Correct, but the people who should adapt are the institutions and professors.

This is not, I think, and unreasonable requirement either, we just need a few professors to be hit with large lawsuits arguing torturous interference with employment (since what most people are in college for is a better job anyway).

A new edition from an author indicates that they believe there is enough new information to justify selling you a whole separate book. If that is the case they should agree that the 1st edition is fair game since it won't have the same information. If they protest, well... Was the 4th edition ever necessary to begin with if the 1st edition is just as good? In cases like that I still support this idea because editions like this absolutely are used to gouge students at times, and this would stop that dead in its tracks.

This pollyanna attitude doesn't really help. There are many things outside a single person's ability to influence.

One of the important adulthood things that many people fail to learn is that they should pick their battles.
This is a preprint that was just uploaded to arxiv two days ago. Don't be hasty and assume that it settles any matter at all. Many such claims have been made before and many counter-claims also. There is still a lively debate on the subject and it will be some time before there is agreement.

More generally, any scholarly article is a claim, and should never be read as automatically true. That's something to keep in mind.
The problem of space of physically securing cash is more stable over time and better understood by non experts than the problem space of securing electronic payments: For example, the costs and benefits of "There is a new innovation in theft, people yank ATMs out of walls with trucks, which you can mitigate by putting up bollards" are easier to understand than "there is a buffer overflow in your logging software that is used everywhere".

So yes, a bulletproof cage is security technology, it works sufficiently well most of the time, there aren't many low-effort innovations to break it (bombs and such have been around forever but aren't used to rob convenience stores often), and if it does get broken it's obvious. Whereas a software exploits can be harder to detect and can be much easier to replicate and scale

Edit - Innovations in physical theft: That Kia/Hyundai car trend, which is really software. The trick bums use to steal blue bikes from docks. Writing threatening notes to bank tellers without any way of making good on the threat because tellers are directed to not fight back. Any more examples?
I think we’re OK with laws like: “don’t form a monopoly,” which applies equally to everyone (but doesn’t come up often for most people!)
I once worked with someone from Egypt who used "kilo" for kilometers. He's the only person I've met who did that. I've no idea if that was just a personal quirk or if that was a common shortening elsewhere in the world.
Here are a few of mine:

Flatland by Edwin Abbott - if it doesn't break your brain thinking about seeing in shadows of reality, and never being able to all of anything at once, you need to read it again

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking - read it a couple years ago on vacation as my "beach read". Thought a bunch of what he wrote was pretty interesting/entertaining (though I disagree with some of his presuppositions and/or conclusions). Also made watching Tenet more enjoyable. And gave me an idea for a story (that I do not know how to write) wherein there is a class of people who only "remember the future" - they know what is going to happen before it happens, but as soon as it happens, they forget ... iow, they experience time half-backwards (they live it forward, but can not recall anything once it's occurred - it's all a "prediction" or "guess" to them...just like the future is to everyone else)

Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy - contemplating a 100% 'conventional' WWIII, Clancy does a couple interesting things in the story that I have often wondered why they have not been talked about elsewhere (maybe they have in classified circles, but certainly not anywhere I have run across them) ... notably, using a A-10 Thunderbolts flying close to the deck over the ocean to strafe thin-hulled warships

Learning Basic for Tandy Computers by David A Lien - first programming book I ever had/used (it's even available on Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/LearningBasicForTandyComputers/) ... got me into programming/scripting when I was about 10
Default prediction packages for common scenarios (like camera and player movement) would be nice. For example, I wouldn't care too much about physics prediction but player input should provide immediate feedback.

I just watched your intro youtube video - the collaborative world building aspect is exciting! The DX looks nice. Good luck with the project, would love to see this come together.
The value judgment of "not worth it" is relative to perceived improvement in getting a new phone, but for many people the judgment is "can I get a new phone for $69?" Outside of carrier subsidies in the US, that's still not possible.

1. Discord search is very poor

2. Discord will go away one day and so will all the accumulated knowledge

3. People who aren't directly looking for your project won't find it. It's will have no search footprint. You have to actively seek out the Discord to discover that that's activity there.

"Most people" don't already have it. Only a fairly specific handful of demographics.
What you are advocating for here is the opposite of a free market. Two independent parties contracting with each other and agreeing to a most favored nation clause without government intervention is a free market: either party may choose to leave the relationship. The government stepping in restrict parties’ ability to contract as they see fit is a restraint on the market.

In a free market sellers will leave the Amazon ecosystem and move to a platform with less restrictive agreements, resulting in lower consumer prices (albeit with less availability). That’s exactly what GP is arguing. Obviously GP believes in a free market.

Amazon’s belief in their own market power is irrelevant.
Hey Simon, I've done some similar experimentation using Extism to sandbox LLM generated code. This uses our JavaScript PDK (which uses quickjs) and can be embedded in any host language we support https://extism.org/blog/sandboxing-llm-generated-code

I'm also working on a Python-PDK right now and hope to have a beta ready in the next month. That would allow us to do something similar with python.

This is a great idea, thank you! What about details in the original comment, though? Can you easily add a link to the original HN comment?
Instead of pretending that you get to establish the rules for how your business receives transactions VS the defined systems, standards and legal accommodations that you're already implicitly and explicitly agreeing to when establishing your corporate entity, they should follow the established standards and look to engage in legal activism that aligns with their interests instead of blatantly violating the law.
Neither of those were "bona fide type errors". The fact that both
errors ocurred while using statically typed languages shows
that. The orbiter failed because inches were interpreted as
centimeters. But as both datums were stored as floating point numbers,
which they always would be, in any reasonable implementation, static
typing wouldn't have caught anything. The Ariane failure was due to a
cast of a double to a short resuling in an overflow. Again, not
something static typing can catch because it can't statically check
the value of an arbitrary double.

No, even more types is not the solution. It's not pratical to wrap
every measurement in a Meter or Inch type (standardization is one
issue, is my Meter type the same as your Meter type?) and it doesn't
significantly increase the amount of invariants checked. You still
have range issues and you still won't get a statically check
PrimeNumber type.

I'm not familiar with ADA, but VHDL has similar range constraints
which are runtime checked.
Sounds like a nightmare is about to start for kids, parents, schools, teachers and so on. Would be easily solved by going back to oral examinations, paper and pen in class essays...
Ask HN: Has anyone migrated from Next.js to Astro and can offer a perspective?
I am having non-stop issues with Next.js (v13), and at this point it feels like I am spending literally days debugging next.js bugs rather than building my website. I hear great things about Astro, but would like to hear some experiences for those who migrated from Next.js to Astro.

Worth mentioning:

* I use Next.js server actions. Not sure what replaces them in Astro
* I use a mix of server and client-only components. Not sure if Astro supports RSC
* Most of the pages I use are rendered at the request time, rather than build time

Fair enough, FWIW I wasn't trying to take it out of context. It seemed to me like a separate thread of thought being in the parens, but that's purely interpretive on my part. IMHO it would have been more clear to me your intention if you had said "(opioids are terrible for that)" or something similar. But that said I'm much too sensitive about the attacks on opiods because it's very much in the zeitgeist right now, and that would make me prone to defensiveness.
