>Opening statement is going to need significant explanation to not sound like a like half of a strawman or slippery slope fallacy. Not even a complete one.

Agreed. To do that, you would replace Tax cuts with Marginal income tax rate cuts, replace only benefit the rich with are correlated in OECD nations with increased income disparities in 1- and 5-year windows, and debunking trickle-down economics with suggesting imprudence of income tax cuts. But it would be a pretty long title to do all that.
> If you want "leverage," the best way to achieve that is to make yourself more valuable, not less.

In today's world, making yourself valuable gives you a pat on the back, maybe a pizza party and a $25 Chipotle gift card if your employer is generous.

CEOs are sitting on massive piles of money while telling workers that their greed is bad for the economy.

I have many tattoos (but none on hands/neck) and pretty long hair. I did have facial piercings which I removed during grad school because people really did not care for the piercings. I've never had the tattoos be an issue in the corporate world. The only person I know with hand tattoos is a software engineer and he is plenty successful. I think if you are good enough at your job and good to work with employers will care about that more.

Why should everyone make their genetic data publicly available? What common good does this serve?

I would indeed expect a community-run project to have been better (at evaluating the trade-offs of access logging [which occurs on every other web property F-Droid users utilize]). If only because there would have been more than one voice that mattered, and thus consensus would be required rather than unilateral dictation.

Is the confusion a result of disagreement, or of my explaining my perspective poorly?
You're right, I'm born to be a nerd, not a salesman.
Reservoirs are generally stable.
Not everyone works in gpt and copilot. Not only using &, but annotating 'a and 'b and 'c all the call stack and when refactoring, redo it again.

I do not have extensive Rust experience, but the times I tried it got on my way. My background is C++ (20 years using, 14 years working on it). They say that best practices in C++ are in Rust, but I think it is not that similar sometimes even from my mindset when thinking in C++. It is just quite a bit more ceremony in real life IMHO what I saw.
Sure, It is pedantic quibble, but there is also a valuable message as well.

Something real is lost when the meanings of words are cooped and changed. There are clear winners and losers.
I don't really see anything miraculous here, other than "GitHub PR review UX sucks in comparison". Things like AI help and extra linters etc. are something that a each project has to figure out on their own, and e.g. I maintain projects that use Nix dev shells to optimize and streamline the dev experience by a lot, even before things hits the change review stage.

Github's PR review flow just breaks down for anything non-trivial. People have been complaining about it for years and suggesting a lot of relatively low hanging fruit improvements.

The rest is about the culture of CRs some of which could benefit from built-in support, but some doesn't need it.
Django Ninja just hit 1.0 a few weeks ago. I think you are going to have to be patient to find large sites using it in production.

Many large areas of water freeze at winter. But maybe the solar panels could be used to give out heat so that they don't freeze. Some loss of power in the winter then but so it is anyway.
Which ones failed?

Wikipedia lists early deployments and the ramp up of production seems to mirror other solar uptake suggesting the early ones proved the concept enough to get the next generation built.

No the second is the person was going to cancel anyway and Joe provides a rather weak and pathetic way to virtue signal to a very minor political in group they are "with them" while doing something they were going to do anyway
I lived in the triangle for a year or so. It was quite an experience. Thanks for sharing! I've heard from a few friends that Utah is booming.
It was a mix of short and long and there wasn't really much "style". The company had taken over the maintainership from someone else at some point (before I joined) and it was all fairly inconsistent. I don't really mind the inconsistencies as such, it's just the argueing over nothing that I mind.

This kind of stuff was typical. At some point there was a lengthy discussion which prevented rolling out a rather important hotfix over:

while (true) {
if (someCond()) break;
if (otherCond()) break;
[..]
}

It wasn't even about whether someCond() and otherCond() should be in that while(..) condition, it was allegedly "dangerous" because it "could loop infinitely". Well, ehh, that's the case with any lop innit? That's kind of how they work? There was a bunch of instances of code like this, "but it's still dangerous". Hmkay...

Oh, and then there was the great "evil incident". I had rewritten much of the frontend to this newfangled thing called "jQuery" that was all the rage. That was all fine and worked pretty well, but suddenly there was a bug hubhub about the jslint comment; the keyword to allow eval() was "evil" (one of those not-too-funny Crockford jokes), so at the top of /static/js/app.minified.js?v=12311 in prodiction there was something like:

/*! jslint: keyword1 evil keyword2 */
/*! MIT license blah blah */
minified_js()...

And people were up in arms and there was a big panic deploy during lunchtime for this "because customers might see this, and it's highly unprofessional, and it's a big problem we need to fix ASAP" etc. etc. etc. This was in the Netherlands with regular people, not some highly conservative part of the world. It was downright surreal and bizarre.

What I'm trying to say is that these people were rather obsessed with minor details to a point I've never seen before or since. Hell, there was a Company Blessed IDE™ that you had to use. Nothing else allowed. It was a complete piece of shit (IMHO) and after a few weeks I just used Vim. It worked. I got stuff done. No one was bothered by it. Still got comments I shouldn't be doing that...

While I didn't formulate "is this really objectively better yes/no?" clearly at that time, I'm sure it's been a pretty big influence.
D has a language server (LSP) you can use any IDE/editor that supports it

- vscode

Private LLMs are really not more complicated than installing an app. But I expect all web browsers and operating systems will sport a local model in the near future, so it will be available out of the box. As for adoption, it's the easiest interface ever invented.
While I don’t use it anymore and have been out of the web dev space completely for a few years now, I personally feel I owe a lot to Django. It’s the framework behind the first software I wrote that other people actually used and depended on. While looking back at it now the first Django code I wrote was pretty awful, it’s astonishing how much the framework lets you accomplish. Without knowing much at all about web development or databases, following the Django tutorial is sufficient to get you started with a very basic web app, and you can grow from there. Couple this with the superpower that was deploying to Heroku, and it made for a fantastic introduction to web dev and shipping software to real users.
It can appeal niches with critical mass. Then it will not "mainstream". It will be something else.

Day of Defeat
"Simulation" is a term that has been appropriated by artists but it refers to something much more rigorous in the parlance of the domains featured here on HN. Unless your plant is growing, uptaking nutrients, inhaling CO2 and exhaling O2... unless it can die from dehydration it is not being simulated.

What is presented in OP is a model of the morphology of plants implemented in an L-system. Model has no such fealty to actual physical dynamics. To call them simulations however either grossly misunderstands computational science or the very nature of how plants grow.
That's a neat trick! I just wish there was a Playlist option and Favorites. (The "Groupings" component is empty for me, not sure if that is supposed to have the playlists)
Have you watched or read anything by people who actually have ADHD? Like the Youtube channel "How To ADHD"? She also has a book coming out soon. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51pOP8-wURk ... an alternative is Rosier's book "Your Brain's Not Broken" (2021), have you tried that one?

If it is ADHD, and you don't want to, or aren't, going to get on medication (which will probably help, but also changes the way you think and your personality), don't try to "fix" yourself and stop with the "I'm lazy", and treat it as a challenge to hack your environment so that your environment works with your ADHD to help you get things done.

Timers. Timers (placed away from you so you can't just shut them off without stopping what you're doing) to tell you when to do things, timers (pomodoro) to tell you went to stop doing things.

Procrastinate by coming up with new schemes to hack your workspace, not by scrolling. Delete or web-block your social media apps, especially infinite scroll ones, or put your phone in a drawer or another room.

One factor in willingness to switch tasks is getting rid of the friction of feeling afraid that you won't be able to restart from where you are. Think about and work on how you can save state (mental stack) by jotting down your current train of thought, so that you're confident you'll be able to return to it later.

Gamify everything (during hours when you want to be productive). How much can you get done before an alarm goes off? How quickly can you find a problem/bug/contradiction/inefficiency/solution in whatever you're working on? How can you solve a problem or finish a task in an unusual but equally workable way?

Don't overthink through all the steps of a task when you're starting one (e.g. when an alarm goes off or you set an alarm for a pomodoro-ish block of time). That'll be demotivating. Identify the first step, and do that, and then you're in the task and it's easier to keep going.
The SpaceX and Telsa comparisons need to be made against the competition/alternatives, rather than in a vacuum.
So far the only playlist I'm using smart shuffle with is my Christmas one. I put in a bunch of the weird shit I want to hear, and it injects some mainstream stuff to keep the wife and kids happy. So it's doing a bad job matching my tastes, but I'm exploiting that as a feature.
Really their ceo should resign for making the same mistake as almost every tech company
> Do NOT try to do a bunch of weird stuff to "boost" your brain and fix your ADHD. Pills are good and I take them and if your doctor agrees you should then its a good idea to take pills.

I'll be bold and go one step further; Even with nutritional supplements and the like, make sure you have some feedback signals (a doctor, friends, etc.) and -use them-. And even if you're on your own and you think it works, Talk to a professional. I have had friends -and- colleagues who either have crawled along with self-help or switched to self help and wound up losing years of personal progress.

> But I see people with ADHD thinking that they need to make their brain more reliable. But the ADHD brain just isn't. It's like trying to say you only need 1 replica of this service if you can just get it to be reliable enough.

Honestly sometimes it's like people treat 'ADHD Diagnosis' the way an impostor architect hears 'Cloud Application' and tries use the exact same pattern they always use for cloud apps, regardless of if it's the right fit for the specific problem.

Tanks for the context, I see what you mean about not disallowing things.

I still don't understand why they released the feature if operator precedence around it could still change. But then, I don't understand the need for the feature, nor would I want to conditionally define a method. I realize the older I get, the less I like late binding :-)
There are 2 or 3 international people I use WhatApp with once in a great while. I've never used it with someone in the US and I bet a number of the people I communicate with via SMS would stare blankly if I suggested using WhatsApp.

>On the other hand, I feel like SpyCloud does not get enough credit for having a dataset 30x bigger and working directly with companies to actually mitigate credential reuse

Not sure if it is your intent, but this implies that HIBP does not work directly with companies to mitigate credential re-use. It does. Some examples would be their partnership with 1Password and other password managers, Firefox, their partnership with the FBI, UK & Australian governments, etc.
That was the part that exercised my "suspension of disbelief" muscle the most. As a hero-in-training montages go, this part is one of the most implausible and hammy.
Yes, jQuery is often derided as outdated, but it worked quite well for a very long time, with minimal hassle for developers. In fact, I was working full-time on static Elixir/Phoenix pages with jQuery sprinkled on top as late as 2022… it felt a bit clunky but it worked as advertised and wasn’t frustrating in any significant way.

I didn't see any of the specific job titles you mentioned on the career site. Perhaps this is part of the "antedisciplinary" method you refer to? Practically speaking though, should one just use the "Open Apply" option for Machine Learning Engineer/Scientist roles?
> 2. Turing complete macros (not just syntax-case)

I assume, you mean `syntax-rules` here.

If I understand correctly, it's pretty easy to simulate a paper tape
with `syntax-rules` macro - that is `syntax-rules` macros are already
"Turing complete".

https://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/macros.html#turing-completeness...

But ... I know what you mean - in practise `syntax-case` or `syntax-parse` would be lovely to have.
I've never heard of anyone using it in production, period. The one thing FastAPI had going for it back when it was announced was a list of companies and groups with it deployed that minute.

Is it a "1.0 because we think it's done and you should try using it now. Maybe it'll work." Or "This is a solid 1.0 that has been tested in production. You can expect reasonable api stability."

FastAPI launched with option three: "We're going to get our friends to use it in production so we can say it's deployed by Microsoft, but, this is definitely a pre-alpha."
>Honestly, what do you expect Spotify to do? Not try to stay competitive

That's a reductionist way of looking at it, but an alternative way would have been what Daniel said on that letter; They were "more productive and less efficient and they needed to be both".

From my ivory tower I do see some things that could have been done differently, such as adding only one new offering (maybe just podcasting), or rely more in contractors than employees and set the temporary expectation of the roles up front.
One thing I like to point out for people is that milkweed has the second-most advanced flowers on the planet, following only orchids. They come in a massive variety of colors and shapes, and usually multiple are available in each zone as a native choice, so you have a little flexibility.

Definitely seconding the idea that you need to plant something appropriate for the monarchs that migrate through YOUR area.
You know, donating money to Harvard is weird. They've got a $50 billion endowment. They have enough money to do anything they want. What good would donations do in the first place?

And yet, Harvard receives something like $500 million per year in donations. Why?
I use DI.fm (lots of fresh electronic music there!) and Google Music via my YouTube subscription.
Note that it's a coalition to pledge, though. None of these countries are putting down the taxpayers' money. It's… "we promise we'll let someone invest their money in building nuclear power and maybe we'll even invest taxpayer money".
Spotify is a completely mistery to me. I'm asking: What does Spotify really have? They don't own the music. They don't own podcasts (OK, they may have some exclusives like Rogan). All they have is a license, a bit of software, and lots of users. How will they ever turn a profit? What's the end game here?

I just switched my whole family from Spotify to Deezer and it was literally a matter of minutes. There are even services that move all your favorites/playlists over and it worked flawlessly.
That's a good attempt, but I'd rather not run a server - if I'm paying for the service I'd like to have an API I can run/write a frontend against. And ideally I'd have the ability to listen to lossless music, not whatever encoding Spotify thinks I deserve.

So what you are saying is that you would like a process that was live - with everything loaded, and ready to respond to any code that you wanted it to run, as opposed to having to bring up a new Juila process for each step in the pipeline.

Can't you compile the pipeline into a single script and then run it in a single instance of whatever?
Evaporation or algae growth? I don't think anyone shades any kind of municipal reservoir to avoid evaporation.
Can't wait for the Butlerian Jihad to begin!

Flippancy aside, as others have pointed out, Spotify isn't turning a profit. Other than the tangency of blaming AI for all of our ills, this seems like a non-sequitur.
Somehow the human brain by default conflates the concepts of "being prestigious" and "having integrity".

It's difficult to fight this cognitive bias that, I think, we all carry—but we must.
So...

Bodybuilders do this thing called "bulking and cutting." The best way to add muscle fast is to overeat. Work out lots. Sleep lots. Eat lots.

You get fat, but you also get muscular because food is never a limiting factor.

Then, they lose the extra fat with a crash diet.

Google, FB and such are such money machines that they never have to cut. They can just bulk. The others... they want some of that rapid growth potential too, but can't afford to add fat forever.

Corporate bulking and cutting.
I have no data to back this up but just taking a stab in the dark - a possible reason might be because people generally tend to prefer learning from someone talking about the subject matter?

I know most all of us here are techies and very used to cracking open books and documentation and text tutorials to teach ourselves stuff, but many people are not like that and especially if you're new to a subject, sometimes books just don't help things to click as well for some reason.

There's probably something to do with the way material is structured and presented differently between talking about it and writing about it, but I wouldn't know what to say about it.

I dunno, just a guess because it's an interesting observation to think about.
I never used Rails, but people who use both said that thy were pretty similar. Python had the advantage of scientific libraries (which was useful for what I was building), while Rails was a bit more web dev focused.

Rails does seem to have fallen out of favor over the last decade, while Django enjoyed a more steady level of popularity. I guess Python is a more popular language.

Yep that's right. Again though, PackageCompiler.jl does work quite well for creating .so / .dylib / etc shared libraries from julia code for more traditional library-style interaction, and is quite mature and widely used.

It produces quite big binaries, but the more involved and complicated your application is, the less that matters.
> everywhere else

the only places I've done that were between countries with very special travel relationships, e.g. schengen. you can travel those countries without a passport and often no border check at all, it's not the same as uk-netherlands

Honestly the number one thing I miss about America is the big supermarkets and sheer diversity of food products available. Also much better restaurants on average.

Germany is generally a better place to live if you have a low to average income. Think everything from transit to health care to tenants' rights. But like if you're aiming for really high salaries as a software developer, America is the place to be.
Can you give your own quick summary?
