This is more of a reflection on tsc, but also, Hello World is not a good example because it's not a real world prototype.

For conclusions about rapid prototyping you'd need to do this experiment:

- Prototype something real, not a tiny toy example like "Hello, world".

- Go end to end with your experiment, so instead of focusing on how long it takes to run the typechecker (which makes no sense, since dynamic languages don't have this step), measure how long it takes you to iterate your prototype from start to a finish (including everything: failed attempts, code does not do what you want, writing tests, troubleshooting stuff, and the final working demo).

Again, I must ask: where is the evidence that dynamic languages are faster for prototyping?

This paper by Paul Hudak, "An Experiment in Software Prototyping Productivity" [1] has multiple flaws you could argue, but what's amazing is that Haskell beat all other languages in the list (none under discussion here, sadly -- that's one of the flaws) for fast prototyping!

I have no idea what point you were trying to make. The "cattle" analogy is about reproducibility. There is absolutely no reason to keep systems in an unmanageable state that you cannot reproduce.
I get the impression that humans have separate parts of the brain that do LLM type linguistic stuff and others that do non verbal intelligence of the sort that smart animals have. Maybe they'll figure a way to tag the other stuff on.
Useful comment. But I wonder if you are not overstating the anti-meaning interpretation. Yes, attention is task-oriented, but it is instrumentally useful to track inputs in a way that approximates meaning. Isn't that why we say that initial layers are syntax oriented while later layers are more abstract?
I saw part of that show and my impression was that it was produced by the same guys who did Ancient Aliens. Lots of conjecture, not much evidence.

I remember someone complaining about the speeds writing to a unc file share over a 10G network, using a blackmagic file writing test tool

It was really slow (about 100MB/sec), but iperf was fine.

I did a "while (true) pkill sophos" or similar. Speeds shot upto about 1GB/sec.

Closed the while while loop, sophos returned in a few seconds, and speeds reduce to a crawl again.

But who needs to write at a decent speed in a media production environment.

And people still wonder why ShadowIT constantly wins with the business.

It was a lot of words to say “perception is more important than reality”, and delivered in an oblique way hinting at some unstated “narrative” going on, without either explicitly making that point or providing evidence. Kind of the HN equivalent of the angsty teen who will only say “that’s what YOU think” to everyone.
Does anybody else find it frustrating to be asked about their home life at work?

I'm sure managers have their reasons, but I'm here to do however many hours are expected of me as negotiated as part of the hiring process and then go home and have a life with the people I actually love and care about. The deal is that they intrude as little as possible on my time while I'm at work and in return, work does not intrude on my time at home.

I'm not here to talk about my personal life. I'm here to get shit done. Get out of my way and let me get on with it.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Anyone who has spent time in less developed countries knows what a difference strong government regulations on the market make. People in Western Europe, the US and other developed areas tend to take for granted that the food they buy in the grocery store is what it says on the package. That doesn't just happen by itself, and it's not a safe assumption everywhere.

It establishes a level of liability and bad behaviour which means if it collides with something they'll probably have an easy time suing dish for the cost of the satellite (millions).
Ah yes, the true day-to-day life we all experience launching multi-million dollar satellites by a multi-billion dollar company, endangering the safe launch and operation of other satellites not just domestic but globally.

If they couldn't be bothered to put enough fuel in the cannister to deorbit, they get fined. I don't see why that requires a full trial.

> It would be quite educational to attribute in more detail the impact of these two factors. The degree of "El Nino" influence is presumably known, and if its strength is not related with global warming in complicated and unknown ways it would be good to overlay it as a distinct effect.

Contrary to most of the fear mongering about space debris, kessler syndrome etc, the big Western satellite operators are generally moving in the right direction and have moved faster than regulators to try to set space debris management standards.

Incidents like this one are pretty uncommon, and as space debris goes, this is pretty benign in the sense that it's a large intact satellite and can thus be tracked fairly easily and precisely. Once the technology matures, a cleanup vehicle could even be sent to move it into graveyard orbit.

The kind of space debris that tends to be problematic is stuff that is too small to track, since then you're stuck relying either on pure luck or giving the area a wide berth to not have it hit something else.
For food items it is usually in case something is wrong with it making people sick they can issue a recall.
I DESPISE these links from Outlook and Teams (not sure if it is specifically the teams implementation or something else).

I don't know about your company but mine has us do these phishing tests and training videos all the time and then we get rid of one of the safety features that they keep hammering us about.

I can't just look at the URL before clicking it. I once "fell victim" to one of our phishing tests because I clicked the link in the email. And its like... well we have been trained by our own email system that the only way to actually see the validity of the link is to click it.

The term "global warming" being seen as interchangeable with "climate change" has really been troublesome, and I think has led a lot of people to think surface warming is the entirety of what "climate change" is.

Which is only the case because the then-nascent car industry worked hard to make it so.

There's no conspiracy theory here. Lobbying to remove city trolley systems; propaganda to establish and spread the idea of jaywalking; funds put toward undermining passenger rail; and so on— it's all well-documented.

These moneyed interests are the reason the US still doesn't have a high speed rail system and likely never will.
If the market was theoretical and all things were absolutely equal, yes, maybe, but that's not how things work in the real world.

For a good example, Walmart failed miserably in Germany because they failed to understand the local market in any way. You can have a successful regional chain of supermarkets without it needing to become Walmart-scale. Just being local, having a strong local presence and understanding of the market, and having local costs can be a massive advantage. A Bulgarian startup has economies of local labour costs that can trump the economies of scale of Google. Spotify are quite successful even if their competitors (Apple, Google, Amazon) are massive. Not to mention there are big market segments where economies of scale across markets simply do not apply. Legalstart, a startup doing "law services online" for small and medium enterprises in France cannot apply pretty much anything to any other country due to the different legal systems. If there was some massive behemoth in that space globally, Legalstart still wouldn't have an "economies of scale" disadvantage.
That supplier appears to have had zero reviews on Google prior to this making the news; they're all either clear trolls or clearly referencing the fake parts scandal. Checking wouldn't have revealed the issue.

Another assertion I've read in the discussions is that the so-called alarmists were being extremely conservative with their assertions to prevent being taken as alarmist, and even those tempered conservative predictions were ridiculed by those with a vested interest in denying climate change.

Fair enough, though I'd be curious what you'd be doing with Node not in a browser that requires this...

Yeah, sorry I guess "native" was the wrong word there.

True, but if you are trying to distribute your NPM package to lots of users, and it requires platform specific binaries or, God help us, node-gyp, you're in for a lot of GitHub issues :)
Honestly I’m getting tired of the “thinkers” who are just _don’t panic_. That statement just comes across as so disconnected and also doesn’t actually accomplish something.

If someone is panicking, the correct solution here is to show that there’s a realistic attempt at solving the problem. Not dismissing their valid feelings of dread and panic.
So you'd rather someone else subject themselves to that for your own benefit than do it yourself?

Seems kind of selfish, does it not?
Is it not a simpler explanation that Greece simply did a better job of disseminating its own literature than prior cultures?

My understanding is that the “through line” of modern scientific progress begins in Greece because that’s where “trivially-legible to contemporary scholars” written history began.

Like, we always knew that it didn’t start with Ancient Greece (the Greeks themselves mention this), but because abundant primary sources prior to Ancient Greece don’t exist, there isn’t much we can do other than light a candle for their sake and use its light to read their thoughts as filtered through Plato, etc.
Show HN: Cape – The parenting app designed to reassure
Hey HN, we’re excited to introduce a major update to Cape, an iPhone app to answer your parenting questions based on research papers and articles, currently in beta on TestFlight.

Here’s what this update includes:

- You now get more personalized answers based on your child’s general information, e.g. age matters

- An option for you to turn the theory into practice with action items

We have high expectations of ourselves as parents, but don’t have time to search online for each use case or remember tidbits of information we read months ago. We believe many parents can relate to this struggle. While Cape may not be perfect, we’re eager to share this update with you and invite your feedback.

In many ways SWE is like real engineering but with some major differences. I could use the classic example "we aren't building bridges" but that's too simplistic. I think the biggest difference between us and the rest of engineering is the "method of delivery" and how that affects the other processes.

What I mean is imagine if a car company found a defect with their cars, they would have to issue a recall and update their vehicles, a long an expensive process. The key difference is with SWE, we can just push an update and have the thing fixed, there are many possible scenarios here but overall even if you had to push a patch to customers that are running in an air-gapped env, even that would be easier than a traditional recall in engineering. For me this single fact changes the entire dynamic of SWE compared to traditional engineering.

In traditional engineering you can't simply put up a bridge that would support 500 cars and say "oh we'll update it to support 5000 cars down the road", but you can totally do that with SWE application that can only support X number of users at the start but plans to scale up to support more. This thinking of "we can address this down the road" affects practically every decision in SWE compared to traditional engineering outside of specific cases.

Every engineer deals with constraints and finds ways around those constraints. SWE has a set of constrains that is very very different from virtually all other engineering disciplines, and for that reason you get the constant question of whether SWE is even real engineering.

My data is anecdotal, but I've observed that Panasonic inverter ovens that I've used interfered in the 2.4GHz range, while models of other brands (e.g. GE) have not.

(This is unfortunate because Panasonic seems to be the only brand that can actually adjust power output, whereas the others simulate lower power levels by cycling on and off.)

I think these sorts of headlines are intended to raise awareness of climate change, but I conjecture the effect they have for some (or many, or even most) people is to make them throw up their hands and say "well, what can I do about it?". I know that, after seeing so many of them, they've stopped shocking me. They just make me feel a little sad. I suspect in the future I'll be numb to them, and they'll have lost any supposed power to inspire action. While any individual instance of record temperatures is alarming, enough of them, one after another, creates a narrative of powerlessness or hopelessness that is redundant and unproductive.

The reason this sometimes work is not because it objectively should. It's because it helps the other person relate.

It's way more difficult to convince someone of something if they already see you as "their ideological opposite". It's a chasm too wide to cross for most of us humans.

The "gaining weight" conversation is something that they understand, probably have experienced themselves, or have seen their spouse try. It's not something that can be perceived as coming from the "scientist caste" (this is a real term I have heard used). You are less of an opponent and more of a next-door-guy trying to explain something.

It's a bridge that you lay over the chasm. They still need to walk over it, though.

I'm sure there's some sports argument that can be laid out in a similar fashion.

The key point is that if I want to load a webpage that needs to download 100 different files, I don't care about the order of those 100 files, I just want them all to be downloaded in order. TCP makes you specify an order which means that if one packet gets lost, you have to wait for it. QUIC lets you say "here are the 100 things I want" which means that if you lose a packet, that only stops 1 of the things so the other 99 can continue asking for more packets.
Wouldn't they have also implemented a compliance program if they were fined 10% of revenue, you know to avoid future fines?
One might equally say that the embracing of reflection in Java and C# pretty much solidifies the case against static typing for complicated projects.

I'd tend to think the important feature here is strong typing, not static typing, and indeed TypeScript, which is hampered by the anemic type system of its parent JavaScript, it not the best example of strong typing.

Ultimately, strong typing is a hill I'm willing to die on, too. But a lot of people making arguments on this topic are conflating it with static typing, which just isn't the same thing. In general, that gives me the impression you haven't done enough work in enough different languages to really have an informed opinion. The type systems of different languages work within the context of the language as a whole, with tools like REPLs, test frameworks, constraint checkers, static analyzers, and IDEs carrying a lot of the work that might be attributed to a type system. There are a lot of confounding factors here, and if you're only talking about a few languages and you are making mistakes like conflating static=strong and dynamic=weak, you don't have the breadth of experience to understand what the benefits and downsides of strong types are.

Though uncommon, strong dynamic type systems do exist. Scheme is probably the most popular example, although its type system isn't the strongest. This is the approach I'm taking with Fur[1], which attempts to have as strong a type system as possible while still being dynamic. Python is... stronger than many other popular languages (i.e. JavaScript), but still does a lot of coercion (particularly around truth-y/false-y values--duck typing is a bit of a grey area in that it's sort of arguably weak typing, but also arguably indicates a capable type system rather than a weak type system).

But perhaps more critically, weak static type systems also exist, such as C, which is the source of many of the world's most serious bugs. It's highly unwise to assume that static typing is strong typing.
