> In my experience old people do tend to struggle a lot with technology

people in their 60s are the generation who literally INVENTED the technology we use now.

they struggle with the idiotic interfaces people in the 2000s have started using

especially touchscreens that are a specific subset of the entire HID, that are rarely better than any tactile input device [1]. Just like joysticks are better than joypads when precision is necessary.

My dad (82 years old) had no problems with windows 3.1 and 95 UI, now they mean nothing to him, because they literally don't! [2]

[1] I started having loss of vision due to my age going forward, instead of backwards, and I can't use my smartphone as proficiently as I used to anymore. I've been working in tech for 27 years, I have no issue at all with mechanical keyboards, but I struggle a lot when I have to write a sentence longer than 3 words on a smartphone, it has become unusable as soon as my eyesight has become less than perfect. Imagine having every other part of your body working imperfectly and you'll realize that the problem lies in the input interface, not in the person age.

EDIT: grammar
I hated it but I’ve grown into it, specially with the latest improvements and the https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pkg/errors package.

It’s still not as good as having Either/Try monads available to avoid the mess of “if err != nil” madness but having gone back to Java lately and the issues we have with exceptions there, having errors as values instead of a magical control flow feature makes the code easier to understand.

Now that I can make sure I include slack traces on them so it’s easy to find where they originated I have the best of exceptions in place as well.

Ask HN: What are typical maternity leave conditions for US seed startups?
I am a startup founder and a father of an 18-month old daughter from France.

We are based in Paris, but are planning to open an office in the US and are considering conditions and benefits to provide to our team members in the US.

In France, paid leave is 16 weeks for mothers and 28 days for fathers. Cost is mostly covered by the state, with a small part left to the employer.

We are thinking about replicating something similar for our employees in the US (cost will be more significant than in France given that this will be 100%-employer covered).

Conditions at big tech companies are well-known at around 3-4 months of paid leave, but I am wondering what is typical, the norm for US seed startups?

Thank you for your help!

Is the creation of .desktop files within reach of many of the poeple intimidated by command line flags?
I wish they did though. 80% of my day job is (admittedly non-traditional) ETL. It's done in 100% PySpark.

More composable than SQL. Have plenty of utility functions wrapped up (which are far easier than stored procedures) in libraries. The code is far easier to step through with a debugger (due to the composability).

Depends on the dose. If you poison yourself with caffeine later you can get very sensitive to even small amounts of it.

Yeah. But he was also over a decade in jail without a trial.

Don't get me worng: The state of justice here is certainly better than in Russia, but we should give ourselves the same scrutiny we give to the Russians. Closing our eyes when we do obvious unlawful things is bad for our rule of law and makes us look like hypocrites when we (rightfully) point out injustices elsewhere.

This take is very historical.

The government heavily subsidized highway construction, set requirements for massive amounts of available parking, and through the FHA, provided affordable mortgages to white families to move to the suburbs - these new suburbs often had covenants prohibiting black residents. (The new highways were also often built through black neighborhoods, which were often seen as a "blight", were cheaper to acquire through eminent domain, and whose residents didn't have the political or economic power to put up much resistance.)

Traffic policies were set up to maximize traffic flow, which often meant more roads, and wide roads, enabling faster speed. But these make it more dangerous to do anything except drive places.

Restrictive zoning laws resulting in purely residential areas with no corner shop, so even something as simple getting some milk requires driving to the store.

Certainly some people prefer that lifestyle. But the historical truth is that much of it was deliberate top-down policy to encourage people towards that specific lifestyle, and now it's pretty well locked in.

Take for example how residential areas were often designed around cul-de-sacs. The idea was to have quiet streets where kids could safely play. However, once the kids get a bit older, what do they do? They can't drive, so can't even do a simple errand like pick up milk. Instead, one of the parents ends up as a private chauffeur, eg, a "soccer mom". Often this means the family must be a two car family as there is no other solution.

How many of these soccer moms would prefer having a good bus system so their 12-year-old can go to practice and come home on their own?

Even if people do have a preference for single-family housing with a lawn, parking, etc. why should we continue to subsidize that preference? It costs money to provide water, sewer, roads, and power, as well as emergency services and schools, and much of those are fixed costs. For the most part, wealth suburbs are subsidized by poor residents - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nw6qyyrTeI .

You've been brainwashed to think there are only two options. There are more than car-dependent suburbia and "dense city cores". That's probably all that you know about, because the planning process for generations in the US has prohibited mid-rise building and multi-family homes.

It does not need to be that way. You can have suburbs without being car-dependent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsGBRdK2N0

In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV6ZENGko1I a European compare a US suburb to one in Leipzig. The latter is denser, yes, but not the city core. There are restaurants and schools within walking distance, as well as tram service.

Transcending death and a longing for deeper meanings for life are quite universal, but yeah, tripping, I don't think so.

But some people might be more comfortable saying there's a fundamental need for tripping than saying there's a fundamental need for religion (which usually encompasses transcending death and deep meanings for life).

In the recent talk about the new Swift to C++ bidirectional bridge [1] the presenter from Apple says that they intend to eventually use Swift for basically all their first-party code from embedded code on microcontrollers, to the kernel, libraries and apps.

There will be language subsets for embedded and kernel development, not all features would be able to be used at the lower levels.

Maybe their friend is simply uninterested in having the liability as opposed to some millennia long conspiracy by the Catholic church making her do it.

Excuse me if this is inaccurate, but my impression is that not a single listed model is reproducible from data and code. It doesn't even seem to be considered by the authors.

Until that's the case, the idea of transparency itself is laughable.

Every single one of these models may be designed to behave in ways beneficial to the creators. Who knows what conceptual biases Facebook is trying to inject into the world with Llama2? It would be a brilliant way to advertise, and no one would ever be able to tell.
No they were not. Government allocated billions for building charging networks with connectors that are used by more than one car manufacturer which drove Tesla to open their connector.
Definitely eyebrow-raising to a see a project about "trustworthy" hardware / "supply-chain security" doing pro-PRC signalling with their flags!

I'm not even sure it's a mistake in this case. Their website says they're collaborating with a mainland Chinese institute for their process node, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). They might be self-censoring on the spicy Taiwan/Hong Kong stuff to maintain this working relationship.

edit: Also they (LibreSilicon) themselves claim to be based in Hong Kong, so there's that. (Might be out of date though; no tweets since Aug. 2019).

Show HN: DriftDB: Visualize Metric Impact Between Measurements
Hey HN,

I've been working on a project called DriftDB which helps visualize how a specific metric has changed between two measurements. If you've ever struggled with understanding the impact or shift in data metrics, this tool might be of interest!

Key Features:
- load your data (from a CSV) then make a change in that data and reload it
- Display waterfall chart of the evolution of a measure.

Installation:

pip install driftdb

driftdb seed create
driftdb seed update

driftdb start

Coming features:
- display lineage https://app.data-drift.io/42527392/Lucasdvrs/dbt-datagit/ove...
- add insertion from dbt-snapshot

What has allowed the Russian state to treat him with such a degree of cruelty is the war with Ukraine. News of his arrest, imprisonment, and treatment in jail were overshadowed by those of another airstrike on a civilian population. Not to mention, it sent a clear message to internal opposition that those willing to act against the state would face not just legal hurdles but also tyranny and physical violence.
Sure, anyone can use any name, but should they? For instance there have to be some limitations on calling yourself General Hospital unless you actually have a medical license.
I dont think I've heard of anyone avoiding JS completely. TFA mentions using JS.

My approach is to use the NoScript extension and only allowlist the minimum to get web apps to run. Most news sites work fine (i.e. are readable) without JS, so often I just see faster page load times and decreased data transfer. Even fewer ads and decreased tracking are great too, but secondary benefits.

I don't think my browsing habits are different since adopting this approach. I use NoScript to cut the junk and improve the experience.

cadquery and thus also jupyter-cadquery now have support for build123d.

gumyr/build123d
https://github.com/gumyr/build123d :

> Build123d is a python-based, parametric, boundary representation (BREP) modeling framework for 2D and 3D CAD. It's built on the Open Cascade geometric kernel and allows for the creation of complex models using a simple and intuitive python syntax. Build123d can be used to create models for 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and other manufacturing processes. Models can be exported to a wide variety of popular CAD tools such as FreeCAD and SolidWorks.

> Build123d could be considered as an evolution of CadQuery where the somewhat restrictive Fluent API (method chaining) is replaced with stateful context managers* - e.g. with blocks - thus enabling the full python toolbox: for loops, references to objects, object sorting and filtering, etc.*

I use the profiles in Brave for that exact reason. The ability to have different colors on the icons in the taskbar and the browser chrome was the reason I gave Brave a go in the first place. Now it is a feature I cannot live without.

Hey, check the one that I made[1].

It isn’t the code completion assistant like the one you mentioned above, and it probably never will be. I see it more as a perfect coding companion, that is always under your fingertips and relieves you of googling most of the times.

Yet it’s tied with OpenAI, and you have to pay it by yourself, but the former should be changed rather sooner than later.

Bonus: in develop branch there is some-kind-of release candidate that a way more robust that the current release is.

Better logistics? This stuff is like fentanyl of spices, isn't it? Turn it into liquid or powder, and a kitchen can use minuscule amounts of it to spice a hot meal up to the required levels. Easy to transport in bulk and then divide into arbitrarily small portion - reducing costs of shipping and storage all across the supply chain!

This seems to be a key element of Twitter's success that Musk does not understand.

Much of the utility of Twitter was that it provided a record of all sorts of public communications, from automated updates about a museum being closed, to weird jokes that went viral across different social networks, to a rambling thread about a sex worker's trip to Miami that was made into a movie, to updates from people who were near the epicentre of earthquakes, to resignation statements from prominent politicians.

People like Musk who spend all day on Twitter might plausibly pay for it. But part of the reason for that is because everyone not on Twitter could see that important things happened there, and everyone who was on it got to feel like they got to be part of the first draft of history.

If you try and research internet drama (including internet drama of wider import) from a few years ago, you simply run into the impossibility of seeing embedded tweets w/ replies or accessing whole threads.

When I read comments like this I have to go back and ask myself, is there even any amount of proof that would actually compel a single person to change their mind anymore?

We have reached a level of outright cultural denial that, were Fauci to give a speech on every television on the planet admitting to this, still not a single person that took the shots would believe it was true.

How anyone even had the slightest level of respect for a man who did what Fauci did during the 80's is beyond me, and I can't understand how any gay man today could possibly believe a word coming out of their mouth.

In any case, who cares, the bed is made, we have to lay in it.
None of us have the energy left to try and convince people when the majority of the planet's people have been weaponised against us.

To be fair, you wouldn't do that in JS because exceptions have a stack trace, so you don't need to add the context on every return.

The downside is that since you don't "need" to catch your exceptions, you don't think about them. That's one thing I really like with Go, errors are in my face all the time, so I have to think about them. Even if I write the infamous

if err != nil {
return err
}

at least I do it consciously. And when I or my colleagues read it 2 months later, we know from reading that this can return an error, and we see clearly how it was handled, so we can think about it and visually see if it was handled correctly.

Reviewing and reading code with exceptions is a nightmare, because you have no idea if errors were handled correctly. On every call you have to guess if it throws or not.
You can adjust the pose of a thing you are pasting.
