Your sarcastic description of the web shows exactly why TFA exists: by using such tasteless metrics everything can be easily gamed to always the same site, always the same format. And I don't know what I want to discover, so I can't search for it. You're actually making the point against your own view.
Most users don't care about any of that, either. And I would argue that i18n and l10n belong outside your language's framework (and obviously outside CSS).
What’s the phrase? Peaceful transition of power? I think the problem is mostly calling a present or future one rigged. It causes idiots to trespass in the capital and get shot by secret service. The likelihood of the events at the capital happening today for an election three years ago is real slim

Very cold and insensitive management style in my opinion.

If a project I was working on for multiple years and I believed in was shut down and my manager told me “welcome to earth” and “our lives don’t matter” I would one hundred percent leave.

Yes, the markets are cold and ruthless but it doesn’t mean you have to be.

This whole section made me laugh. Maybe it was AI generated, because "converting the audio wave into a two-dimensional visualization that shows how the spectrum of frequencies in a sound evolves over time" is far from a "novel method (is) unlike anything that exists today, especially in the context of audio". Perhaps they're talking about the actual watermarking method, but it's a terrible pair of sentences if so.
You seem to be lagging behind on news coverage.

After Israel had an (apparently justified) prolonged media war to combat the claims that it bombed that particular hospital, the IDF then deliberately bombed several other hospitals and even went to the lengths of publishing a 3D animation of an alleged underground complex to justify their intent to bomb the largest hospital which at that time was known to provide shelter to hundreds of civilians. Israel then also posted pictures of piping it misidentified as a tunnel entrance in the debris of a part of the hospital that it had bombed.

The problem with the disinformation and lies is that just like killing civilians this is somewhat anticipated coming from Hamas but catches people off guard when Israel does it and especially when Israel does it so blatantly that it's hard to pretend they're not doing it. Heck, there are now multiple incidents of fabricated evidence relying on the audience's inability to understand Arabic or ignorance of heavy accents that have been shared by official Israeli social media channels. This includes the supposed radio communication demonstrating that Islamists accidentally the entire hospital before it became obvious that it was likely not an Israeli attack and the damage was constrained to the parking lot. Heck, Israel's Twitter account even shared an IDF-affiliated account celebrating and justifying the attack on the hospital prior to this.

So, yes, the IDF most likely did not drop the bomb that apparently blew up that hospital's parking lot. But the IDF most definitely did drop bombs on other hospitals and has stated its intent of doing so and has justified doing so, both before and after this particular explosion. And Israel government social media accounts have incorrectly claimed the explosion as an IDF attack as well as shared fabricated evidence to the contrary and general mis- and disinformation.

In this war more than any others so far, everybody lies and no-one can be trusted. And strangely not only can Israel not be trusted when it denies wrongdoing but also when it explicitly claims it. At least the anti-Israel and pro-Hamas propaganda is normally more predictable. Israeli propaganda at this point feels more like an evolution on Russian propaganda which infamously tries to DDoS any attempt at fact checking by making multiple mutually contradictory claims in short succession.
People chanting it from both ends of conflict are terrible people, it doesn't need to be just one or the other.

Eradication of Jews is bad, eradication of Palestinians is bad. Though to be fair, I think this lady isn't talking about eradication, but rather relocation (also terrible), and Hammas does call for eradication.

You seem to be arguing against a strawman. I didn't write "complexity". But if you want to fix security issues in your database access patterns, you better not have SQL distributed across your whole codebase.
Is it possible to upload pages to neocities programmatically? I know you have a Ruby-based program to do so, but can i do it by ftp, http, or something similar?

The reason i ask is I've written (in Python) wiki software catwiki[1] that allows you to write wiki pages in Markdown. At some point I'd like to extend the program to generate a static site based on the contents of the wiki, and it would be nice to be able to automatically upload it to neocities.

"I'd like to correct the record on this story. We do NOT sell kidnapping roleplay packages. The user paid for a premium Daring Rescue Package. These do not become available unless the user spends two consecutive months as a net cost to our company. The user was given multiple reminders that he might want to cut back on usage or purchase a premium plan. Even then, he could have opted for a free Daring Rescue package and taken his chances with the base 1% chance of untraumatized recovery this package offers. Shuffling user responses under these high-pressure conditions is vital to improving our training data, and helps our users learn to deal with loss of important relationships. We are a relationship training service, not a replacement for them, and this user wanted the equivalent of a college degree.".

On a more serious note, anyone know why unethical business plans are so much more fun to write? I always find myself giggling when these ideas come up.
How to operate on a tiny database server: shift all work from the database server to the application servers.

Earlier in the year I wanted to understand LLMs and GenAI so I tried to push their limits to see what broke and what didn't.
One of my projects was to build a blog/site from scratch. I had 0 web dev/design background.

My experience was starkly less optimistic, and am curious if any one else has tried something similar.

-----

First off, I must state a deep respect to people who build + design websites, while dealing with Clients.

I had assumed that ChatGPT would be very useful in helping me pick up and build things. However, I had to jettison ChatGPT fairly soon. I just couldn't trust the output of the model. It would suggest things that wouldnt work, then link to sites that didnt exist.

I switched to teaching myself. I had to watch hours of videos, learn CSS, Astro, and several other things from scratch. Definitely not the LLM experience I was expecting.

Code from Figma was great - but if I wanted an actual responsive site, I had to write the CSS myself, because boilerplate CSS had all sorts of odds and ends.

Getting an image to come out as I liked from Midjourney was fun - but it was also a massive time sink.

I had hoped to be able to get complex tasks done entirely with assistance from the LLM. In the end it helped maybe 20-30%. Its greatest use was to clarify concepts instead of me having to wade through specification docs.

When I went back to the videos of people using chatgpt to build a website in under 30 minutes - its always someone who knows the domain extensively.

I did get a site up and running after ~1-2 weeks of work including the necessary ritual sacrifices.

edit: writing in a rush, grammar and text are messed up.
edit: GPT 4, copilot and midjourney. AFAIK I had no half measures.
FWIW... if it takes you all of (say) two seconds to pick up a penny and put it in your pocket, that works out to 18$ an hour, tax-free. Not bad. Nor world-changing.
Leaving a legacy (a good one anyway) kind of validates that you did something that outlived you in your time on earth.

To be sure we should try to take care of the loose ends if we can before we die — not knowing when that is means we should probably keep a tight ship as regularly as we can - especially more so as we get older. This thought crosses my mind fairly regularly when I look across the garage, in the storage room at all the crap I've accumulated. (Nevertheless, if the kids just want to toss everything, have an estate sale that's cool.)
I think there's an open question about whether the reentry process is going to work, but even if that fails Starship will still likely be the cheapest way of getting mass to orbit. It's not like competitors are about to make a reusable second stage, they are struggling to compete with Falcon 9.

Oh I think they mean that, too. I am just trying to be charitable by calling out times where it can be a lift to yank something out of the DB.

This application side join stuff was real popular about 15 years ago with Mongo and similar stores that didnt support joins.

It is one of the many things that separated RethinkDB from the document db crowd at that time.

I disagree. We’ve seen what happens when titles have max context: people don’t click the link and they polish their semi adjacent hobby horses in the comments as they would a tweet.

HN goes for a middle ground that promotes intellectual curiosity and link clicking. If you refuse to click the link for obscure titles at least you’re stuck replying to those who did click the link and that’s still better than what we have on the rest of the internet.

Submissions that don’t have the payoff to justify more obscure, whimsical titles fall off the first page unlike this one.
I bought my Asus 1215B back in 2009, naturally it had the AMD proprietary driver back then, it took until Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for me to get OpenGL 4.1 support back, now with the open source driver.

It had been downgraded to OpenGL 3.3 since Ubuntu decided to drop the proprietary driver.
I guess the similarity falls short of justifying bombing civilians in another country... oh, wait.

Nix somehow manages changes. (Relies on ZFS?) My future perfect notebook style build script would start there.

I wasn't even thinking about REPL style work. Mea culpa: I don't actually know how jupyter et al work, so I'm talking out my hat.

Your explanation reminded me of "prevalent" persistence (vs full orthogonal persistence). I guess I assumed something like that was happening between cells.

I suppose it's analogous to the transition of UI frameworks.

Bad: Mutant components directly.

Good: Mutate thru event queue. Get undo/redo for free. Debugging still sucks.

Better: Pretend it's a simulation and use an entity component system. I think this is what the kids are calling "reactive".

Answering just for me: because I'm just a simple bear.

I've been imperative for so long, continuations, currying, and lazy eval break my brain. Yup, a fully functional world would be a lot more simple. Maybe it's time for me to revisit clojure.

Thanks again. This is fun to think about.
In my experience it's because every time you give a page or product spec to a designer they give you something slightly different based on however they happen to be feeling that day. Combine that with whatever product people do, and you get basically random UIs for each task.
FWiW I'm not Jewish although we've got a nice Jewish kid who's now part of the extended family having left Israel some years back largely because of the extremists there.

I deplore the actions of Hamas, I deplore the response of the IDF and those in power, it's a horrific shit sandwich with a large number of civilian innocents all around.

I do hope this cools down as quickly as possible for the sake of the majority on both sides.
Yeah. The inner coatings of food and drink cans contain bisphenol A.
Just a WAG: vital support functions have been contracted out to fly-by-night operations funded by private capital funds ?
This is exactly what I find fascinating about the company as well. It's not like it's some secret technology nobody else has - why hasn't any other company done this before? How much of a part is played by the exceptional ambition flowing from the top?
Oink was used by A LOT of A-Level artists and musicians.

IIRC The only one who openly spoke about this was Trent Reznor, but having the chance to speak with big name producers it was the place to go for extremely hard to find whitelabels, clean rips of completely forgotten releases from the 50-80s... Quoting LCD Soundsystem, "I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody".

Oink closing had a tangible effect on the choice and audio quality of samples used in several commercially-released albums.
To join my project you will need a US Secret security clearance and a Security+ certification. I suspect teams working other projects have similar minimum requirements because this is a very small federal contractor. If that is not an issue email me (in profile).

The greatest realization I had about hiring during my recent many months of unemployment was to abandon perceptions of trends and marketplace popularity and instead focus on my strengths no matter how unpopular. So, I gave up on looking at JavaScript related positions even though I have 15 years full time experience writing JavaScript. Instead I strongly promoted my experience as a military officer who can program in niche projects. I went from 0 interviews to multiple competing offers. I turned down a much higher paying offer a super prestigious place to take this job because it’s something completely new for me, work from home, and almost what I was making at my last job.

Also if you know anybody that is a Java developer with a TS and willing to relocate to Dallas I can get them a job at that other place immediately at around 200K

Why Is Django's (Unofficial) Mascot a Pony?
Apart from the other observations in this thread I wonder if part of the issue is the work culture here. If you call in sick there is often an expectation or requirement that you will go to the GP to get a medical certificate to "prove" you're sick, and having a "cold" isn't typically an acceptable reason for not showing up for work.

I haven't had to worry about this in years but while working in retail I periodically found myself at a GP and being prescribed antibiotics when I would have otherwise stayed home to rest, if I didn't need that medical certificate.
I have recently missed that as well (after feeling very strongly about having access to all the world's music, all the time, and immediately). Fortunately I still have most of my CDs and work from home, so I can jockey my discs in and out of a ripper pretty easily, and land them on my Plex server. Plexamp isn't WinAmp, but it's got a nice CarPlay interface and lets me control the end to end, so it'll do. Maybe that would scratch your itch as well? I even found that I bought two new CDs recently of music I streamed pretty often and wanted to add to my permanent collection.
you could technically slam a trackball onto an ergo split keyboard. wouldn't recommend it but you could. people tend to put one between their keyboards so why not just build it into the right one?
I understand that it's much more satisfying to make suppositions based on incomplete data than to say "I don't know." However, the fact of the matter is, we do not know one way or another.

I have ADHD (inattentive), and wasn't diagnosed until I was in my mid 20s - I somehow managed to graduate from university. I attribute the countless all-nighters for that. I never tried ADHD meds before I was officially diagnosed, but I good chunk of my classmates would regularly use meds in the days / weeks leading to exams, so that they could cram for 12 hours.

From experience, the different drugs available can feel wildly different on me - so I'm going to assume that would also be valid for the non-ADHD users?

But, anyway, looking back - the playing field def seemed uneven. How on earth are unmedicated neurodivergent going to compete against "enhanced" healthy people - it's like playing football with crutches, while your opponent is not only healthy, but also using steroids.

EDIT: And, yes, I'm sure some % of the students that perform better when using meds may have some underlying/undiagnosed condition.
Soul foundation is a great idea. Also human factory and such.

Hey, this is Steve from tldraw, I was up late last night putting this together.

I've added a note next to the input with more info here, but basically: the vision API is so new that its immediately rate limited on any site like this, and because OpenAI doesn't have a way of authorizing a site to use their own API keys (they should!), this was the best we could do. We don't store the API key or send it to our own servers, it just goes to OpenAI via a fetch request.

Putting an API key into a random text input is obviously a bad idea and I hope this doesn't normalize that. However, you can read the source code (https://github.com/tldraw/draw-a-ui) and come to your own conclusions—or else just run it locally instead.
Neither: I'm pointing out that this is a problem that needs to be dealt with, rather than simply a fact of the world. We shouldn't be giving up on improving people's lives just because Big Tech would take advantage of it; we should be changing the system so Big Tech can't leverage those improvements to screw everyone else over.
I think a lot of those that think firing people is trivial were never in the room when the decisions were made or the conversations were had. It's always a tough decision even in relatively cold industries like finance.

Bit of a tangent, but it's like the reddit crowd that's convinced of how the world works without much experience (think the /r/antiwork or /r/fuckcars. It's just easy to be cynical. I heard the argument recently that you should be weary of cynical people, because if they think everyone is shitty they're more likely to accept it and be shitty themselves. If you think the person driving a large car is just an asshole (as opposed to someone with a big family), you're more likely to be an asshole and let the air out of his tires

Maybe...but Itanium was a join announcement by A-listers Intel and HP in June '94. Vs. C-lister AMD didn't announce x86-64 until 1999, didn't release the full spec. until Aug'00, and didn't ship an actual product until Apr'03.

Without Itanium, those other architectures could easily have had an extra decade or more, and things might have turned out quite differently.
The principle by which this is organized, and mind I'm not saying it's a good one, is available space. Screen space is extremely valuable, so the ribbon contents are constrained in two ways. The first is that the ribbon cannot be so large that it fills up the entire screen, because then you cannot see the thing you are working on. The second is that, once a size for the ribbon was chosen, not using some of those pixels was a crime against usability, so any empty space had to be filled, whether the functions are appropriate in that location or not.

This, then, leads to a massive overuse of tabs (because the available space is vastly insufficient), and incomprehensible icons (because they take up less space). Don't worry though: there will be tool tips, like little mini-menus, so eventually you can figure out what all this stuff is.

A menu bar doesn't have to deal with any of these problems: it only takes up space while you are actively engaging with it, instead of permanently obscuring your content. It can therefore take as much space as it needs, so functions can have a clear, textual label. It also has a natural hierarchical structure, so things don't need to be placed in non-obvious locations. It's a vastly superior solution to the problem the ribbon tries to solve, with its only flaws being, not being 'hip' and not working well on a phone.

Menu bars were the single greatest thing that ever happened to user interfaces: they made functionality discoverable in a way that earlier applications (who relied on countless magic key combos) could only dream of. Before the menu bar, an application needed a manual, and you _had_ to read it. After the menu bar, you could just look in the menu, and it taught you what functions were available, how to access them, and even how to access them from the keyboard if you needed them frequently. Getting rid of it was the stupidest thing designers could have done.
