That's the horrifying beauty of it. Everything has been turned into a marketplace.
I think it has to be your own interpretation of alive.

If you're starting today surrounded by a loving family, in good health, enjoying relative comfort but you end the thought experiment as a comfortably solvent 80 year old in an apartment but with no friends or family, does that count as making it out alive?

That has to be for you to decide.
“A Python-based programming language that combines the performance of Ruby with the readability of Perl.”

…with the readability of Perl. Surely a joke.

I have written quite a lot of Perl code in my life. It was obvious to me what it did as I wrote it, but I have real problems understanding it/reading it now.

Ask HN: Videos explaining math intuively for children 6 to 10
I just out of boredom maybe started to rewatch some old bookmarks and (re)discovered this Eddie Woo.

Here is an example of a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2z5uzqxJNU where he explains divide by zero.

My kid (almost 6yo) seems very interested in numbers and math. I am doing my best not only explain some formulas but try to understand what it means.

We are doing a lot of drawings or using sticks or some other materials to grasp some basic math knowledge. But I am not a math teacher so I assume my approach could be improved a lot.

I recently (re)watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2z5uzqxJNU from Eddie Woo where he so beautifully explains to (what I assume are) high-school students divide by zero.

I am looking for something similar but for more basic math concepts fit for children 6 to 10 years old.

Any recommendations? I am mostly looking for video but any content is also welcome.
The film "Trading places" comes to mind.

Many (most?) mobile devices still support connecting HID devices such as keyboards and sometimes also mice without confirmation.
Emulate one of those, navigate through settings and change things to your liking, then optionally initiate a disconnect/reattach as another device type of your choice, and boom.
It wasn't at all "designed to manufacture", it was an incredibly hard to build aircraft, requiring labour of extremely skilled carpenters as it was built of large number of wood elements requiring a very high precision of shapes to tightly fit together. Incredible pain in the ass to manufacture and no one else in the world could repeat a similar project. But the result was worth it.
Yeah, I thought search was completely broken tbh. Usually I search in browser then use “Open in app” to open in Aurora and download.

Maybe they can add some web scraping thing to sidestep this issue completely?
Email notification on responses is very useful; for HN I have to use http://www.hnreplies.com/ for this.
dumb question: could you cut the data line after a second or so, or does it require constant communication?
This is amazing. I’m thinking of building the same thing for self hosted S3 (ie. Minio). I love AWS, they're very reliable and i feel like depending on them is not risky. But being 100% dependent on a single provider scares me a lot, and I often feel like S3 is the one thing that would cost me a lot if I tried to migrate. I have not accounted for all the data I have there, but it's lots of small files (all the user uploads), and what scares me is the per request cost of deletion (I think I read some horror story here sometime ago). So I keep pushing this off.
For me it reminds me of a boy I knew growing up who later got diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, who was absolutely enamored with trains. He was very smart, if awkward at times - I always liked hanging out with him when he was in his element. But even early on I think he knew something was off, because he constantly asked questions along this line when we did things like play Halo co-op together. "Am I being helpful?" "Am I useful?" Once I got so annoyed by these questions I just said No and he didn't talk to me again after that.

There is something deeply, deeply sad to me about thinking through what kind of family life he might have had that he even felt the need to ask that question. I didn't grow up in a great environment either, but I never had any doubt that I was doing good things that would be a point of pride to most parents.
Well, we know exactly how to turn people into terrorists, and that is by removing hope and bullying them... And maybe something like this is what Israel has done to Palestinians.

I'm a little more on the OP's side in this, I grew up in a poor community of people, all my friends were in the same boat as me, (save for, I was fostered into a single mum who had obesity and bipolar).

There is a LOT of "poverty programming" - people get a moral kick out of having poor people around, poor people buy consumerist things, etc. Society needs poor people to remain poor, more than anyone is comfortable with.

It's like the age ol' "why don't they teach you how to do taxes in school?" - not just taxes, but things like budgeting, meal planning, mending clothes, (home economics I think it was called?)

All of my friends said the same thing "why bother budgeting, voting X will be better, the system is against us, there's no point, didn't you watch Y, burn down the place!" - and they are still grovelling in poverty.

I'm not, I'm out, I'm with OP and I know where they're coming from.

"Typical mind fallacy" my ass. If you contribute to poverty programming, you're profiteering off poor people, even just to feel morally righteous.

(Not attacking you, just trying to point out what almost everyone does, this isn't aimed to you)

Even for this example, it's not "OP was poor and got out, good on him, he has some experience to share" - but instead, the response is - "OP got out, but he's the lucky one, and now he's grandstanding" - ie: pulling someone down.

If he had a drinking problem, then these sort of attacks could've spiralled them back down into the pit. No one wants that (On the surface at least)

That shift (pc to smartphone) represents a lot more "who and how many" users than how they use it.

As late as late 2000, web was still pretty exclusive club. I went to college mid-2000s. Even among students, it was a geeky minority that really "consumed" internet massively.

It's a seemingly simple and obvious way to lazily migrate your data, but if using Sippy means one less thing for the application code to worry about, and (I assume) is a free add-on, then it provides a ton of value.

I have to admit that Cloudflare has been killing it recently with DevX / OpsX. If I wasn't against that company's role in modern internet (as a user of Tor, their firewall is annoying to no end), I would have tried them out already.
It’s an almost impossible experiment to run because of this bit: “Keeping the life skills and knowledge i have today”

I know you’ve specified an exception for computer skills, but you have so much more in-built human capital, much of it the result of your education and upbringing. You likely have extensive subconscious training in the mannerisms and norms of upper-middle-class culture. You probably know exactly what behaviors constitute fitting in well and being a valued employee. You know where to go for help, and how to get good credit. The fact you can speak English is, on its own, the foundation of a good career in many parts of the world. If you start to strip out all of that built-in experience and upbringing in order to level the playing field, is it really still you?

Increase the numbers then it will become more logical.

Change the 5 people to millions. Now it's one person vs. millions.

The choice is now even more obvious. And if you don't consider the numbers in this case people will call you a psychopath if you can't see the difference in moral weight between millions and one life.

Numbers are indeed part of the equation.
Even in prod (sometimes) there is no other way to "tell me if it will have the desired effect". Changing something to see what happens, even in production, is not automatically wrong. It's not automatically right either. It's almost like there is no thoughtless simple rule that is always right.
Why are those 5 people there? How can I be sure they'd be killed? How can I be sure they don't want to be killed. It's not wrong not to kill the one man because you can't be sure of the situation.
So I understood you want to reverse a pushed commit on both your local repository and the remote. You can reverse that commit using just the following commands:

git reset --hard HEAD~2
git reflog expire --expire-unreachable=now
git push -f

This reverses the most recent commit. The -f is needed to reverse the commit on your git server.

...

I apologize if my previous response wasn't helpful. I see that you meant "revert" and not "reverse". I apologize that two of your commits are now gone and I understand that you mean "revert", not "reverse"? You could try

git revert HEAD
git push

If you have any more questions, I'll be glad to help. :)

Maybe I'm underestimating GPT-4 here, but when I tried to get it to write my some CLI commands, it failed in often non-obvious ways (I was trying to resize and compress an image using imagemagick).

But well, man yelling at cloud I guess.

For programming and computer questions, I'm still grateful for StackOverflow and its sister sites. Finding a conprehensive answer with lots of updates and comments describing different aspects of the problem, all for exactly the question I asked, is satisfying and it feels very time-efficient too.
As others pointed out I also think that satellite connections are the wrong tech here.

How about a wifi meshing phone that is made for reaching wifis much farther away in distance?

Maybe partner with wigle to have available wifis in your local area?

If you have a wifi card that is 3x2 or 4x2, you can also use one antenna for peering purposes. One antenna has to be constantly scanning while moving though, so I guess that needs a lot of power...but maybe it's still feasible!?

Network infrastructure wise wifi has a lot of benefits, if you also offer something like a raspberry pi image I'm sure people would love to help build up the meshnet. Maybe you can also hook up on Apple's network similar to how their AppleTags work.

I agree with this totally, it's like "poverty programming" because we need poor people to remain poor.

Room for saplings is not the same as room for average sized trees. And it's only for a single year, we'd need to do this in perpetuity.

It would probably use land that's currently in use for agriculture, in a time when huge areas of old growth rain forest are cleared to make more space for agriculture. One country deciding to turn pasture into forest would probably cause more forest to be lost in Brazil, of a type that stores _way_ more CO2 per hectare.

I think we should start with getting better at preventing and fighting huge forest fires, and to stop considering wood pellet burning as "renewable energy".

Any further focus on planting trees only distracts from real solutions, imo.

This, CF is the only service that I find amazing, and that I do not use for anything. Compared to AWS, I think I prefer the "we're your unopinionated infra provider, if you want a WAF we have that too", vs the CF "block the world, especially the developing world, give zero craps about it". I fundamentally would be unhappy as their customer even if their service were stellar because I do not want my apps to be associated with this arrogant stance of "hey, your app blocks users from Nigeria".

Could it be that poor Americans think they will be rich at some point - either through hard work, divine providence or the lottery (the American dream)?

Cursor – The AI-First Code Editor
In NL (IIRC, it's been twenty years since I've had to learn the laws of the road): crossing pedestrians on city streets have priority over cars, except within 30 meters of a crosswalk. The rationale being, if a crosswalk is that close a pedestrian can reasonably be expected to detour and take the official path. However, elderly people/people with disabilities have priority everywhere.

In the case you're describing, a car turning off a main road encountering crossing pedestrians, isn't considered a special case in NL: straight traffic always has priority over turning traffic, and if a car encounters pedestrians while turning that implies the pedestrians were going straight ahead so they already had priority by default.

The digital society/universe is just not high enough on most people's agenda, so what power advantage could be gained from a debate? That doesn't imply polarization on other topics is fake, though.

It is well understood that in democracies, small committed groups of voters can have disproportionate impact - I think that is more of a bug than a feature.

Even in the EU, data protection is only something a minority actively cares about (and Germany is stuck in a founding myth there which means it has a hard time relaxing).

The EU and US have been divergent on a lot things for decades now, so it would be surprising if they converged on digital.
Such devices are called FIDO keys. But they work only if the service you're accessing also supports it. I don't even know whether there is consumer hardware that supports an external TPM for boot image verification and hard drive decryption.

A plain USB stick is not a secure place for a keystore as a compromised kernel could trivially copy it and send it somewhere else for cracking.

There are variations of this (incredibly, incredibly boring) problem that consider this. The five people are workers, the one person is a trespasser, or they're all workers, or all trespassers and so on.

People don't make decisions with perfect information. We make decisions based on the best information we have available. Refusing to sacrifice one to save five because you don't know how they ended up there smacks of making excuses to get out of making hard choices.

> When those two instincts are at odds it causes this moral dilemma. We will not push the fat man but we will pull the lever.

I think you've actually got close to the issue, but obscured it by referring to the action as "directly kill". The real issue, as I see it, isn't to it's the choice of killing to save, it's about being complicit in that person's death.

By choosing to do nothing, your conscience is clear because although you might have saved some people from dying by taking action, you haven't done anything to cause the death. I think most people would still feel morally guilty for not acting, however if you had chosen to kill someone, even if it saved others, you could be found legally guilty for murder if it went to court.

Part of the point of having so many different variations of this problem is that it allows you to probe the edges of your own value system. For instance, the variant with the plane that's lost power and is going to crash somewhere, the pilot choosing to go to somewhere less populated isn't choosing to kill anyone, they're trying to minimise risk by aiming for somewhere that's generally less populated. By going for a less populated area, there's more chance that they might be able to even avoid any ground deaths, and even better, more likely they could find somewhere where the landing might be gentler and minimise on-board deaths too. But in any case, even if this went to court, it'd be manslaughter rather than murder, because there weren't any individuals that he had identified and decided that their deaths were acceptable.

Personally, I'm not sure I'd even pull the lever knowing that it would take someone's life because for me the moral guilt of participating in one innocent person's death would be worse than the moral guilt of not saving a larger number of other innocent people's deaths. It'd be a different situation if it was a choice of e.g. one armed person and 5 potential victims, but even then I don't think I would be able to choose to kill the aggressor and would only take action if there was a non-lethal option for incapacitating them that didn't put me at great risk of also becoming a victim. Obviously, the real solution if there was sufficient time, is to summon the police and let them take the moral and legal decision and consequences for it.
