Every time this is posted I want to rebut the water boiling portion. It's finally time.

The author gets the details of boiling water wrong. He commits a fairly common error: using his experience of a practical and common phenomena to make/guess a technical definition. The technical definition of boiling water is simply the temperature beyond which liquid water will not go (let's ignore super heating- too much detail!). The rest of the exposition is unnecessary and wrong given the true definition (although could probably be reworked from a cooking perspective)
It's high time that people stop giving any credit to the likes of Elon Musk. He sounds like an edgy prepubescent boy shitposting on 4chan, and placing any of Elon Musk's quotes below the online profile picture of one of those kids would draw exactly the reaction it deserves.
The weird thing about MS is .NET in general - it seems like since the inception of the technology they intended to bet the farm on it as the desktop development platform of choice, yet the only first-part MS app that uses it Visual Studio (and assorted tools like Expression Blend).

Which is super weird, since it was conceived as a Borland Delphi competitor (they even hired the guy who created Delphi, Anders Hjelsberg, to design C#), and there used to be tons of Delphi apps.

It never made it into their core offerings.

It's not necessarily wrong, but it's missing any disclaimer about which interest rates they're talking about so if you don't know what you're doing it will lead to mistakes.
Maybe they were busy fixing other issues?

How AI is expanding art history
On my team we have Qubes OS and some Linux variant. We use cryptography-first GitOps to configure the machines. Everyone is issued a Trezor wallet as part of their org member id.

Anyone, regardless of role or organizational rank, can modify their system with a pull request. Once an appropriate combination of cryptographic signatures (depending on what is changed) is reached the new infra-as-code is pushed/pulled and so long as the cryptographic signatures match a GitOps process on the Qubes machine the changes happen.

We internally "support" Windows apps such as the desktop app MS Excel (not the web/O365 thing) in Qubes or KVM and everyone seems to be happy with what we have.
It was pretty interesting to do that on such short notice.

That's partially fair, but it is not really helpful to estimates of the reliability of his current work to point out that in the past, before he got all loopy, his work was reliable.

The fact that he's gone all loopy recently is absolutely the most important context for deciding if you want to take his word on faith or not.
I feel anyone that really likes bash needs to have a concerted effort to learn how powershell works. It's got a lot of failings and MS has made deploying things and using them a pain but there's some genius in there and specifically the help system is categorically better. nushell is having a similar crack at it.

I wonder where you've found that definition of "agile". The agile manifesto says that they have come to value:

1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

2. Working software over comprehensive documentation

3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

4. Responding to change over following a plan

There is no direct quality/polishness in there.

That's weird, Bluetooth headphones should work I think. Maybe there's something wrong with them. You can check if the mic can hear the speakers using Windows sound recorder. Try a different mic if you have one, the only important thing is the mic can't hear the headphones.
There is a mid-level way to "fix" this under zsh, as it supports nesting parameter expressions¹. You can, for example, use ${#${#}} to disambiguate ${##}. It doesn't remedy any of overloading described in the article, but it does at least make it possible to understand the implied meaning(rainbow highlighting for brackets probably helps here too).

For the most part I'd prefer the syntax suggested in the posted document, but I'm pointing this out as it can be useful as a way to apply arbitrary zsh flags to simple strings to remove the need for external tools like sed(fex, ${(flags)${:-test}:flags}).

Final odd trivia note, you can make the syntax even worse with zsh as # is also an expansion flag when surrounded by braces. ${(#)#:-0x23} is valid -- and woefully unreadable -- syntax to count the length of the "#" string.

I read this article as part of fantastic anthology The Mind's Eye edited by Douglas Hofstadter and Daniel Dennett.
If Blazor turns out to be good, we may reconsider. Like I said, I’ve worked with C# for a decade and I’m not personally convinced Blazor will even exist as a non-abandoned option in a couple of years. To be fair, I’m more convinced post .Net 8 than before, but it’s still Microsoft and their changing ways. As far as using it goes, we’ve done a few proof of concepts and found it extremely inferior to React, but it’s hardly a fair comparison given its age and lack of real adoption.

The productivity gains come somewhat in spite of using a single language and sharing resources. On one had this will play out nicely over time, but on the other hand we had to transition a lot of developers and tax others to help the process along. I can’t tell you exactly why we’re seeing it. The general consensus is that it’s just “nicer to work with Typescript” but I suspect it’s also because our internal developer tools are just better for Typescript. Not so much because we couldn’t have made them for C# but because we, had, to make them for Typescript.

As I understand it, de-centralized verification isn't a necessary characteristic of a JWT. There are token constructions that make that a priority, however[0].

Mastodon Is More Than a Twitter Replacement [video]
Podcasts generally are the audio alternative to YouTube. Thankfully, podcasts remain largely decentralised and aren't restricted to a single website or service.

Podcast search is something of a challenge. There are a few websites that claim to do this though in my experience they do so poorly.

Podcast Republic (Android & iOS) is an app I've used that has an excellent podcast search capability --- both podcasts as a whole and individual episodes, with shownotes indexed (protip to podcast creators: your shownotes are themselves and excellent discovery tool, do not neglect them).

PR isn't my main podcast driver (I use AntennaPod from F-Droid), but I will bring it up to search for specific content when I need to do so.

Says that its totally not legal to distribute decompiled code, or indeed:

If it was legal, there would be loads of decompiled binaries floating around for windows, Adobe, autodesk and any number of other expensive bits of software.

You're proving my point.

NYT readers are interested in full articles and vetted analysis, not a bunch of scattered information from unknown sources, even if they're more immediate.

All you're saying is you don't like NYT/WaPo because you don't read quality journalism.

This is precisely my point. NYT competes with WaPo. Not with Twitter. If Twitter stopped existing, you still wouldn't go to the NYT. Because it's a totally different product category.

Here's a thought: Teach it in elementary school, so that it becomes a habit, and benefits those who are not training to become professional scientists. It doesn't even need statistics or "code" since reproducible science predates those things.

If it becomes a habit, and a natural expectation, then teaching the specifics pertaining to any specific field at an advanced level should be easier. And maybe it would encourage the public to demand better science reporting.

Also, mark the topics in the introductory textbooks that are not based on reproducible research, so that students know the actual state of the field that they're studying.

I do industrial R&D, and my stuff doesn't get published at all, but I benefit from doing work that is at least "open and reproducible" within my organization. It actually improves the quality of my work.

Hmm, our JWT tokens are recreated using a client secret with each request (OIDC connect PKCE) so article makes no sense.
It obviously wouldn't. What makes the most sense is that Altman's ousting was orchestrated by Sutskever but he is too important to let go to another project or he would already be gone.

Would have hardly been a shock that "after an exhaustive search for the next CEO, we have decided the most capable person to replace the interim CEO is low and behold Ilya Sutskever."

The fact even I know Sutskever signed the petition is just another aspect of this Shakespearean drama, Sutskever doth protest too much me thinks.

No. When I put it in these terms, it means I expect you to prioritize far more impactful targets for regulation than cryptocurrencies. Trading with China should be number one in your list. As should be every other modern western comfort and privilege.

To me you all seen plenty happy to buy made in China computers to post your environmentalist takes with and it makes it really hard to take any of it seriously. Maybe after the world is done taking care of the truly impactful stuff we can revisit this proof of work debate.
Excellent point about training/teaching. I've also found that to be ... challenging. If at all possible, try to work on accessibility option whilst the person still has some sight remaining. It's going to be far easier to do so.

I think it's great that they saved so much (especially now that I can see that some of their results are actually usable, even if we have to manually edit the CSS or whatever). It's just that:

1. Re "In the future, with the right assistance…", they don't seem to be very open to assistance, as mentioned in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38411567)

2. At the time they were saying things like 98% of content saved, which led one to believe they'd get to properly archiving some of the popular profiles at least, but it turns out everything is only very partial: in your analogy it's like the firefighters celebrating that they saved most of the books, but it turns out they got only the front cover of each book. (Which is great, and better than nothing! It's just… if they had made it easier to see what they were saving, maybe more people would have been able to help? Or would have saved the ones they particularly wanted?)
Equality, Dependent Types, and Typechecking
The "everybody is cute" art style that modern manga and anime converged on is very ugly. It tracks with the degeneration of the audience; there used to be content made for all sorts of audiences but now it's all made for weirdo manchildren. This has been a trend starting with Japan's economic stagnation and getting worse every year. Investing time and money in an anime or manga production is risky and the safest bet is to pander to the most reliable audience (the manchildren.)

There have been very few instances of vulnerabilities with nuget. If you compare the numbers to npm, they might as well be a rounding error.

Perhaps your experience was shaped by poorly written ancient codebase specific to your company (or, as I strongly assume, also influenced by select few niche libraries you personally dislike), but it just does not translate to the experience of other developers (of whom you can read numerous testimonies here on HN). I pity the devs who had to suffer moving away from C# to TS and possibly C++, where especially the latter has migraine-inducing build system, and overall is a significant user experience downgrade.

Nobody, and let me be clear, absolutely nobody should take Loeb's word for anything at all. His schtick for the last half decade or so is a dressed up 'God of the Gaps' argument, where everything he can't explain is aliens and if someone is able to show better explanations it's not science working but people bullying him.

Which is completely fair. He's done it to himself. No quarrels from me. But there's also a understandable urge to toss everything and that's an overreaction. Pauling being a crank is his late career doesn't mean he didn't deserve the Nobel for his earlier career, and likewise Loeb is/was very important to modern cosmology, you just have to ignore most of what he's published since 2017 or so.

There need to be places where user access/experience is paramount.

There are no hard and fast rules as to where these are. Human judgement is required, however messy that ends up being.
