> Go is not Rust, which amazes me each time why certain individuals do that instead of simply coding in Rust or writing more about Rust.

As I said: typically those devs want to use Rust but their team or employer decided to go with Go instead. So they keep writing Go wishing they were writing Rust instead (and maybe secretly hoping to convince their colleagues and bosses to switch to Rust).

So it happens precisely because Go is popular and get selected for those projects.

If you just want one, there are surprisingly effective and super cheap pumps, search around for `everbuilt drill pump kit`. local hardware store probably has one for a few dollars.

I think this summarise everything that is wrong with discussions on the web/ twitter or HN. Without knowing their age and experience, a lot of these context are completely missing.

the existing protections are just window dressing for a class system where the wealthy don’t know these freedoms are restricted for the rest of the population, and the poor are also sheltered from knowing about it because they tell companies not to even talk to the poor, or face sanctions to their entire securities offerings.
Not sure why this was down voted. I for one appreciate a perspective outside the US bubble. Perhaps someone else from Europe can weigh in?
Congratulations, good luck with your projects.

Compilers was one of the first rabbit holes that drove my interest into computing.

One of the books that I endless read multiple times, is nowadays available for free, and eventually interesting for your reading collection, even though it is about the compiler part not debugging.

"Compiler Design in C"

https://holub.com/compiler/

It is a bit oldie, but maybe interesting.

In general, we should not be using HN with LLM copy. However, I can suggest a technique for you to help you accelerate your effort towards a book and the "hard part" of getting a professional editor and publisher.

Using GPT-4, which has a synthesized 'understanding' from reading endless reviews of such well known material ...

1. Provide the list of books as recapped in the comments below, with the prompt:

Create a list of the top 3 principles or takeaways from each of the 13 books. List only the principles, not the books they are from.

You should get about 35 - 38 principles in a list numbered 1 - 36 or so.

2. Group them with a prompt like:

What 5 overall themes can these 38 principles be combined into?

You should get five buckets with an explanation of each bucket.

3. If anything is misbucketed, tell it the bucket changes you want, for example:

Version Control should come with Testing and Maintenance. Data Management and Scalability go together better.

4. Now put the 40 principles into the buckets:

Using these 5 themes and their explanations as sections and intros, organize the relevant items from the 36 principles as bullets under each of the 5 themes.

You should end up with 5 solid book sections and enough bullets you can see how to break into 2 - 3 chapters per section of 2 - 3 good topics each.

(I'm not copy pasting an output here, but results from the prompt recipe above pass a first draft sniff test.)

5. Pick two or three of those you, personally, can write about in your own voice not using GPT-4, and without referencing source material, and write a first draft. Do not use an LLM.

The point here is to let your own view and originality and voice shine, using the material you are most confident about, to "sell" an editor that you are expert enough for the whole book

6. With this outline and sample short chapters, submit a book proposal to publishers, who, if accepting, will have early feedback that will help you have less rework, and will also have an signing bonus and/or royalties advance for you to support you while you write.
I do, whoops :D
>”…My take away is that there is addiction but it’s drastically overestimated”

It goes on and on. The author is ignorant.
Yeah, indeed, and this makes a whole lot more sense.

I can sympathize with the argument of the OP, but I wouldn't exaggerate its profundity either. The intent was opaque enough for the OP that he got it completely wrong, and even under the OP's assumptions, the intent was still more opaque than necessary. Furthermore, you're still passing around `NaN`, which is sort of an analogue of passing around `null`. This example suggests that perhaps a better language construct ought to be used, like the `Option` type.
Only looked at about a dozen or two.

Seems like the ones having more descriptive cyrillic text but not fragments.

Greetings and homage to some nobles were there, with some monetary records and religious material.

Where some of these were made it's always possible there was only one literate person at the time for miles around. Might even represent generations of official recordkeeping which lucked out being preserved more reliably than personal "papers" might be.

OTOH some of these could be IOU's which would basically amount to a form of "paper" money. No printing, no pen, no ink, no paper! If so, individuals would probably hang on to them pretty tightly.

Also in illiterate situations there can be a lot of superstition about documents which are widely recognized as disproportionally important, because almost nobody can actually read them.
Yes? It is only natural that the people being oppressed by the government would speak about it.
Not a good showcase of Factor code. All variable names 1 letter, seemingly simply chosen subsequent letters in the alphabet, instead of any names, that would indicate what the code does.

Handwaving away 15-25% of your adult life with "usually the worst bit" doesn't sit well with me, neither does the "merely" in "merely doubling your lifespan".

Y'know, given that "multiplying it indefinitely" is not actually an available option, whereas not dying at 72 from lung problems from a lifetime of smoking after several years of being nearly housebound then almost chairbound is an available option.

It also describes what I felt like the first time I ever tried a cigarette.
I have an idea for a free speech website, which could be called as TalkingPoints.org

Basically today, idea wars are being faught in Tiktok and Instagram and Reddit and each such website has a distinctive flavour and their own hive mind. To allow better outside ideas, opinions and facts to infiltrate such closed walled gardens, this website would collect "talking points" from all around the web which users of such networks could just copy paste and ask influencers peddling a particular narrative to explain their stand on other side's best facts.

Consider two opposing sides A and B of a particular issue. There will be two boards : Pro-A and Pro-B. People in favour of Pro-A would collect self-contained talking points of A and there will be rating system and so on. Similarly for Pro-B.

I remember there was a nice website (don't remeber the name) which was build with a very complex UI to discuss complex issues. Basically there was a top level statements in blue, and one can expand statments in favour of it (or against it would be in green) and that new statement will be come a blue statement. I liked the motive of that website. Instead of wikipedia's neutral point of view principle[0], this should allow best framing of any side to be represented, sort of like steelmanning.

I have management introducing unnecessary operational work into what would otherwise be a fully automated process. The code for it being fully automated is already written, it works, and worked in production for a year with 0 issues. They told me to remove it as a means of them controlling things. Anytime there is an issue with the artificial controls they asked for, I have everyone go to said management to get approval. This not only lets them feel some pain, but it causes huge delays in the process, which makes their entire product look bad. I'm also looking to throw the operational work back on the manager and his people. My goal is to annoy them into changing course while I don't do any extra work. If they want to make stupid rules that create work, they can be the ones to do that work and deal with the fallout. I'm not going to act as an enforcement arm for rules I don't agree with or understand.
You’re right about the inspirational aspect, but when highlighted by the author themselves it does feel a bit unnecessary, and it detracts from the project. Half of the comments are on the subject of age.

> The only option really, to respect the grid, is staying inside equally spaced bounding boxes that are the core property of a monospaced font.

...or just making sure your immediate neighbors and yourself equal their previous total bounding box? "Needs space" glyphs borrow from "gives space" glyphs, but only in the immediate vicinity not in totality. Spaces are neutral characters.
Trouble is I have no idea if you're serious or sarcastic.
Patent-unencumbered is the term that I should've probably used, but as you will see in the neighboring reply, there is no reason to believe anyone would pull on this thread in good faith. This sucks, because I'd rather assume good faith, but.
That's very kind of you to say, I appreciate that. It's relatively new and still quite a bit unfinished (in my eyes...)

Having spent the last decade or so buried deep in quite a big project, I have shamefully very little to show in terms of open source - but that will likely change quite a bit over the coming year.

I do plan to talk more on my blog about my approach to versioning and various dev/CI tooling.

Always happy to chat to like-minded people so feel free to ping me a message via my contact form if you'd like to talk more tech :) Happy to share a bit more about versioning - the approach mentioned in my article still works really well for me.
Its not an existing debt. its a periodic obligation which creates a new debt on a reoccurring schedule tied to heritable real property, similar to (and often literally) an HOA fee, so to avoid it you have to actively stop the property from being inherited the way it usually would be, the timeshare conpany doesn't need to make a claim against the estate.
Under the section "Debugging Property Reads": how would you convert `{configOption: true}` to `{get configOption() { debugger; return true; }}` using a conditional breakpoint?
Or you can just run the target in Sphinx, and get better organized output with real table of contents and indexes - it supports a huge number of output formats: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/builders/index.ht...

If you must use markdown, there's always https://mystmd.org which integrates directly into Sphinx, modulo minor bits of weirdness due to markdown being a mishmash of extensions.
A gun is not a bomb. It is a reasonably precise tool. If the point is to puncture a wheel, and there is one guy at NASA who isn't bloody blind, I really don't see how this becomes less safe from the tire exploding anyway.
That should work fine in the vscode debugger, you just want to make sure that the transpiler you're using is generating sourcemaps. Generally they do by default. If you have issues, open a github issue and I'll fix it :)
You know can change that, right? One major point of KDE is that you can configure anything.
I think it’s more that people with poor judgment both (1) buy cars that are more expensive than they can afford and (2) make bad decisions while driving.
Yes, it’s shut down.

Reading this story made me happy about no longer having to deal with physical goods.
It's not an LLM copy. I wrote it all myself. Most of the book I've already summarized here: https://burhanrashid52.com/reading

Thanks for the advice, will definitely try it out.
> I'm not a developer so can't do much to bring it to life

Funding and advocacy is just as important as developer time :)
> but forget about expenses like loan repayment and the effect of initial wealth like owning your home.

It’s a ~300 page book with a very specific thesis. There’s a lot they don’t talk about.

> Also focusing on direct income allows him to count retired people in his statistics, and if you translate a bit what that means, and it's obvious, the book said 'retired people who earn almost no money are in the last income quintile, and after taxes and wealth transfers earn more than people in the 3rd quintile! (no shit Sherlock).

I don’t follow. Why does the distinction between retirement income and work income matter?

> It's a bit worthless imho, and unlike Piketty who, at least in his last book, directly share on a website the raw data he used, data in that book is weirdly hard to find).

This was a beef of mine as well. But then, we’re in a thread about about an article quoting a renowned economist who agrees with their thesis on income inequality, so it’s obviously a stretch to say it’s “worthless” for reasons that have nothing to do with their actual argument.

> It's because if you cannot solve poverty with wealth transfers or public services…

But you can. We already have. That’s the whole point! For the most part, poverty only exists on paper. All the left has to do is push for an honest reporting of poverty statistics—-one which takes their hard-earned transfer programs into account! They refuse to do this because they understand that the working class in America would revolt if they knew that their taxes were being used to gift the (largely idle) poor a standard of living that’s higher than the one they work for!
There is no “war on the poor”. The poor have the highest ratio of dollars-spent:dollars-earned ratio of any class, second only to a tiny cadre of idle rich. If our poor are oppressed, they are surely the first people in history whose oppression has taken the form of a never-ending torrent of other people’s money.
Apple delaying the progress of "web" (or just another kind of app) is good for users. Because user don't need another OS between the host os and their apps.

Web developers are so self-centered. You are developers, not users, don't speak like you are doing good things for users. You are just doing things for yourselves so you can extract money/data from your users.

Most web developers nowadays are just enemy of web users.
Agreed, and many of the supplements and drugs people are taking actually mess with sleep in a big way; so seems entirely counterproductive.
Are either you or your grandparents behind cg-nat?

This probably doesn't answer your question but if you built them a Linux home router then it could be a bastion and storage server of sorts. It just needs DHCP, DNS, NTP, kernel configured to forward, basic firewall. As a bonus you could help them block some malicious sites, especially those that target elderly. If that router/firewall had enough storage you could even have batches of pictures to automatically upload to different picture frames to change it up. Downside is you might become their internet tech support which could be problematic if they live far away.

Another option may be to set up a service on one of their laptops that pulls down files from a VM you rented on the internet and then uploads to the picture frame(s). Or have it pull images from a forwarded port on your home machine to an obfuscated read-only rsyncd or chroot sftp using dynamic dns if you dont have a static IP. Both rsync and sftp using the lftp client can rsync data with rate limits to not bog down their connection.

If they are behind cg-nat then you could use tinc open source vpn to connect any two devices to a VM or to your home if it not cg-nat. Tinc is slower than WireGuard but more flexible for this scenario and slower is good to prevent congestion for the grandparents. With a network-to-network VPN you could communicate directly with all the picture frames.
So it's a good study because it's trying to assess why the medication does what it does. You could give me my antidepressants while I was under and when I woke up they would still work the same because it's a physiological change.

If it doesn't work when the patient is out it means that the experience of being high is the treatment.

Aside: Don't fall into the trap of assuming that depression always has a "cause" that's mental, emotional, or external. I stand as a testament to the "chemical imbalance" cause. I was still depressed and suicidal despite every aspect of my life being good and in otherwise good mental health.

They have become a reliable way in office & legal processes around the world in terms of fixed layouts & content immutability (in a sort of layman view. Knowing Acrobat Pro exists & PDF editing too - but I'd argue that in majority of cases its not as trivial as modifying text file or markup sources, with intention to change or forge).

Correct me if wrong but Word/LibreOffice layouts could change depending on the machine & version number - but with PDF you get what you intended to show. I think that has always been the winning proposition for PDF
The nicotine chemical is a natural pesticide manufactured by several species of tobacco plants, and in trace amounts within some peppers.

It is approximately 35 times more addictive than Heroin, and has an LD50 so lethal the contents of a few packs/mg of smokes would kill most adult users if they took it all at once.

Due to the intended role in nature, humans also use the compound for its mutagenic properties, and increased lethality in insecticides.

People are foolish, and addicts are experts at rationalizing self-destructive coping methods. Smoking/Vaping is primarily considered a disgusting habit in many western culture now, but is still plaguing the poor of many countries.

Get angry, quit cold turkey, and stay angry for 3 months... Then tell others to switch to rage-o-hol if they don't want skin like a dried out pear later in life.

Federico Fellini's 8½?... Criterion Collection mentions that "8½ is a film about making a film, and the film that is being made is 8½".

That's the idea. It's why you encounter many people who talk about therapeutic applications of psychedelics.
The problem with waiting for the "I told you so" moment, is all the people you warned conveniently forget about all the warnings they were given. Then if you bring it up and say, "I told you so," or provide proof, you get labeled as petty or focusing on the past instead of fixing the problem in front of you.

I mostly keep the "I told you sos" in my head for these reasons.
Is this like: I buy $500 for a token that entitles me to 5,000,000 API calls?

In the future the retail price of an API call could be ten times that, so even if I don't want to do the API calls I could sell it to someone who would for $5000.

One trouble is I see a lot of variance in terms of how an individual A.I. model will turn out, particularly as judged by a user. Buying into one of these looks like a risky business so if I was going to buy into one I might want to buy into ten.

Whoever is bankrolling the model should have some input into the test data if not the training data.
I still love technology, technical challenges and clever hacking. But 95% of real world work is not that. 95% of work is fairly boring plumbing or translating of requirements into something that will make money for the company.

And that's not some terrible thing. Like you said, a job is something you do for money. If it weren't, it would be a hobby.

Having people be passionate about the work they do is a great way to lower the wages and working conditions. Look at gamedev, or other sectors people are passionate about. Because so many people want to build games, they are considered expendable/replaceable and are treated poorly, both in terms of wages, working hours, and other labour conditions. The same thing applies to FAANG companies to some extent - they just "burn up" young talent by motivating them to spend as much time crunching in the office as possible.
In short, it often is. People who experience ongoing depression, especially when associated with long term/complex trauma, are essentially fighting against the structure of their brain.

The deeply ingrained defense mechanisms brought about by complex trauma were installed gradually and repeatedly (or suddenly and violently for other forms of trauma). Establishing new patterns of thought is possible but slow and sometimes excruciating. The possibility that psychedelics can put the brain in a state from which it can reform its conception of these events in a shorter period of time than traditional therapy is pretty incredible, and one of the reasons I’ve personally gotten very interested in this space.

There was a point after years of traditional therapy when I started to realize and understand I’m safe and can’t be hurt by events of the past. But even though I deeply “get it”, and this is a kind of victory on its own, my ever-active brain just keeps churning away, running the subroutines beat into me (sometimes literally) from an early age, and this manifests as anxiety and depression. It’s a frustrating place to operate from. Aware of why my nervous system does what it does, but often powerless to prevent it. Psychedelics seem to offer a much better chance of integrating these events.
I agree, I've written much better Factor code. This was mainly to get a matching test case working simply...
