Hey now, just the other people day people on HN argued that forcing a person to adopt some norms is not censorship, because:

1. It is not the government doing it
2. It is not actually speech

You can't say you are free to express yourself in one sentence and forbid expression in the next. Either we all have to hide or we can all be free to express ourselves as we see fit.

They can. They feel entitled to funding. Rightly or wrongly, I don't know.
> Results showed that an individual infected with T. gondii was almost twice as likely to develop schizophrenia

T. gondii came for you. Please, start to panic and howl right now while running to buy my product.

Lets talk about p-hacking:

About 50% of the population had Toxoplasma gondii at some point in their lives

0.35% of the population are schizophrenic.

If Toxoplasma gondii really causes schizophrenia the correlation effect is not really strong or consistent. Without T. gondii "would be" 0.17%.

As the huge majority of the people that suffered T. gondii infection never develops schizophrenia we could also safely conclude that having cat pets PROTECTS against schizophrenia.
Fwiw it's a quote from https://webpack.js.org/concepts/hot-module-replacement/, what else would you like to know about HMR?
Because WAY too many people use the “Report Spam” button on emails that are not actually “spam”. Gmail has the exact same problem.
Same, and I watch a lot of Youtube. I've never even seen the warning yet. My theory so far is that it's because I'm on Linux and they're guessing Linux-users tend to do whatever they can to avoid watching ads anyway so we're not included in their testing (yet).

That being said I do get quite some ads on Twitch(and I know there's solutions to this, but they're separate from uBlock origin and I have to keep updating them cause they keep breaking so I stop caring sometimes). The way I solve it there is to just have 2 different streams open in 2 different tabs, one of them muted, as soon as ads start I switch to the different stream.
Lichess is fully open source and the best chess platform right now, online or offline.
Software is intrinsically tied to politics. It is made to solve problems the priorities of which are arranged by political and ideological frameworks. It or its supporting infrastructure is often funded by political entities. It's written by people whose identities and freedoms are defined by their political context. You can't separate it from politics except in the case where your degree of privilege allows you to ignore it.
The Most Dangerous Episode of Russian Incompetence (1995)
Agreed. The organizers of this conference have the responsibility to describe, out loud, what their laws prescribe for which actions tolerated in the West. The organizers themselves are taking a political risk doing that.
It’s essential to use names in programming to modularize code and introduce different levels of abstraction. Smart people can drift towards a point-free style because they enjoy the feeling that they are capable of comprehending their code. It’s important to resist the introduction of such code and to help such people see that neither they in 6 months, nor their colleagues now, will be able to understand it.
Then when you tell Westerners that Africans are trying to "develop their continent" themselves, but they face various kinds of hurdles towards this objective, they will only dismiss it and say it's just that they are incapable of developing anything...
They could. Or they could just not organize a conference at all:

>More than one of us confided in another that we wished we had never started the project.

One way to think about this situation is that the PSF exists to promote Python. If their slow grantmaking process is giving organizers such a headache that they wish they just didn't organize Python events, the PSF is failing at its mission.
I like Biff the most out of the ones I’ve tried.
Even more saddening are the countless species going extinct that we don't know about (because fast-changing environments cause their extinction before humans ever encountered them - let alone study/describe).

One thing I hate about Hsinchu was its windy weather. I do agree Taipei are much better and Kaoshiung is certainly in my second place compared to Hsinchu.
Yep, I can call a press conference tomorrow and the attendance will be binary.
> It's the JS part of JSON that imposes non-duplicate keys with undefined order constraint.

Actually since ES2015 the iteration order of object properties is fully defined: first integer keys, then string keys in insertion order, finally symbols in insertion order. (Of course, symbols cannot be represented in JSON.)

And duplicate properties in JSON are guaranteed to be treated the same way they are in object literals: a duplicate overwrites the previous value but doesn't change the order of the key.

Concretely that means if you write:

Object.entries(JSON.parse('{"a":10, "1":20, "b":30, "a":40}'))

This is guaranteed to evaluate to:

[['1', 20], ['a', 40], ['b', 30]]

(Note that '1' was moved to front, and 'a' comes before 'b' even though the associated value comes from the final entry in the JSON code.)

Python made a similar change in version 3.6 (officially since 3.7), both with regards to insertion order and later values overwriting earlier ones while preserving order. I think the only difference at this point is that Python doesn't move integer-like keys to the front, because unlike JavaScript, Python properly distinguishes between different key types.
It’s interesting how you’ve gone from stochastic parroting general caveats around statistics (cherry-picked data, noisy data, not statistically significant, no controls, weak correlation [none of which is true]) to “not worth reading, obviously!”

That’s just arguing in bad faith and dishonesty bud.

Have a good rest of your week!
Then I would have to reboot all the time to switch back and forth. And hardware acceleration is better on Windows, so I usually have web browsing, music, videos, messaging, etc, running on Windows on one monitor or virtual desktop while my terminal is open in the Linux VM on another. Like another commenter mentioned, power management on Windows is still better, too.
The DSFG is a nice counter-example to your claim. Either something is unconditionally free, or it simply isn't.

>Political pluralism should be the default.
Agreed.

But that doesn't mean that EVERY and ALL political view should be respected.
You can have political pluralism in some restricted spectrum, but not accept things that are too extreeme.
Not tolerating human rights abuse doesn't automatically lead to every aspect of life being overtaken by "us vs them" mentality. Claiming that it does is nothing more then a slippery slope fallacy

Informal proof will always be a thing like how project specifications are always thing. It helps to have a traditional proof to outline the major milestones of your formal proof before actually delving into the formal proof.
>At the same time, software should not be tied to politics.

This sounds like an apolitical position, but it is a highly political position.

Software is and always will be tied to politics whether we like it or not. It can't be insulated from it.

Hey, I have my own chess with a textual UI which allows you to play against several beginner-level chess AI opponents:

- Maia chess (https://maiachess.com), the human-like chess engine based on neural networks,

- several of neural networks by Dietrich Kappe (https://github.com/dkappe/leela-chess-weights/releases),

- and handicapped Stockfish (https://stockfishchess.org).

The whole thing is at https://github.com/magv/bchess, and can be installed with just 'pip install bchess'.
Elon does whatever he pleases and the economist and other press writes increasingly pathetic articles
Yep, this is the exact reason. I started on Virtualbox but jumped over to VMWare because the graphics virtualization was too broken under Virtualbox to do testing for web browser development (I was interning at Mozilla at the time).
I used bubble sort for sorting an HTML table, because, as others say, it is easy to write quickly. It stayed that way until I asked gpt to rewrite it for me.
I use uBlock Origin on PC and MS Edge on mobile for blocking ads. Both work great for blocking YouTube ads.
Norway Joins Denmark in Swedish Tesla Strike/Blockade
I was expecting that, too. The one person I’ve heard say they’d implemented bubble sort in the current century worked on automotive controllers where they had absurdly tight memory budgets and the data he had to sort was relatively small so they quite happily traded a few cycles for the smaller executable.
Better still to think about the expected value of optimism vs. pessimism. It's good to have well calibrated likelihoods of success, but it's also good to remember just doing things which might succeed feels inherently good.
What about the database side of things?
In Surrey in the United Kingdom. It's in the South East area about an hour train commute to London.

Pros: Safe. Beautiful. Quote: "Surrey is officially England's most densely-wooded county, with more than one-fifth of its land area covered by trees". We're surrounded by forests, countryside, hills. Our town in busy enough to be fun but not city busy. People are friendly (at least in the part we live, not everywhere). English humour is great. Pubs are fantastic (nothing like the British pub). I work from home most of the time and commute to London once or twice a week. I get paid a good London salary. Also London is a commute away and London is London, lots of culture and things to do.

Cons: Very expensive housing. We have a relatively small house compared to those surrounding us (120 sq m) and it still cost us an enormous amount. Traffic is bad as the roads here haven't been designed for the number of people. The weather is rubbish. We have small children and many months of the year you spend indoors because it is rainy and very cold (not a good combination).

If it wasn't for the weather and house prices, it would be my ideal place to live (except no mountains). But I guess house prices are high because it is so good.

I do often daydream about moving somewhere warmer though. I'd quite enjoy spending some time in Singapore or Malaysia I think.
We need an RBMK simulator with a A3-5 button front and center.
Yeah redundancy and HA are good practices. My point in spirit is more that we usually don’t need 90% of the complexity.
whether or not your accusation directly refers to GP is irrelevant

if you read your own quote, it says “lying or lied to”. I included the “lied to” because I knew you would try and sneak out of it like this, and yet you did it anyway because you appear to emotionally struggle with light criticism and questions, never mind justifying your thoughts

normal people, people who aren’t embarrassed and afraid to defend their thoughts, don’t get angry and bluster and start on about unhingedness and ‘I’ve written so many articles’ and all these quite amusing attempts at condescension and outrage. they just defend their thoughts. they say what agenda they’re referring to. they say who is lying. they don’t get angry that a person asking them questions didn’t accept their pre-emptive excuse

you’re still accusing people who disagree with you of dishonestly pushing an agenda. you’re still accusing people of lying. and you still refuse to justify those accusations. just because you made who you were accusing slightly fuzzy doesn’t mean you automatically get away with anything
I can reccomend deezer. I switched away from spotify last year and ended up trying like 5 different options before settling on deezer. No complaints, great quality streams (lossless), can upload your own songs and their recommendations system is really good.
Not sure that's the case, recent discussion on Firefox was not inspiring: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38531104.

Maybe they are making such a fuss because it works and people end up switching to chrome / removing ad block :(.

Would be nice to see recent download graph of firefox or ublock origin so see if there is any impact.

Unlocking the secrets of oobleck–strange stuff that's both liquid and solid
Political pluralism is nice when you are discussing things like tax levels or investment targets, but a lot of "us vs them" arises from discussions like "I just want to exist in the open without prosecution" vs "your very existence is a problem and needs to be prevented".
After digging in more I believe that is only done in that proof of concept. If that's the case then it's too bad they didn't go back and update the POC to avoid the need for the binary.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. My advice is move to London. It's expensive but very multi-curtural and if you embrace it is such a fantastic city. I can't help you with the weather though.
To make sure I'm tracking: the use case is setting up a dns server locally that can expose data over :53 and some other client can now get files over the dns protocol. Is that right? So this is in hope that your work's network security is not monitoring DNS traffic?
This article is a bit strange. It seems to completely ignore the existence of Frotz [1], which has been around since the 1990’s. You can run any Z machine games you like on Frotz and I’m not aware of any compatibility issues. So I find it puzzling why the opening paragraph of the article would say something like this:

The source code for many of Infocom's foundational text-parsing adventure games, including Zork, has been available since 2019. But that code doesn't do anything for modern computers, nor even computers of the era, when it comes to actually running the games.

This is probably a silly question, but why did they plan the conference and set a date before they knew they had funding? Wouldn't it make more sense to confirm the grant first, and then start planning the event? The letter comes off as pretty entitled.

My guess is that while there may be some unconscious bias at play here, there is also probably groundwork that could have been better laid. Perhaps European organizers get a better response because they've been doing this for a while, know the PSF Board personally, and the event is a known quantity.

On the flip side, if you want to make change and not just virtue signal, it's always better to engage. Organize a call, express your concerns, hear the organizers out, and find appropriate action to take. Of course, this process might not run on a timeline that is convenient to the organizers.
It's sad to hear this is still an issue.

For those who don't know, Clojure's error messages... aren't. They take the form of a stack trace from the compiler's internals, and that whole stack trace just gets barfed out onto the terminal. There's an exception message but it sometimes just isn't that helpful.

I know there was an effort a while back to improve the situation, but last I saw (2019) I believe things were only marginally improved. It's a shame because other than that it's really quite a fantastic language.
How is legislation the only answer? Users can just stop using Outlookif they care that MS is blocking providers. If users don't care and stay on Outlook, why bother legislating it?
Show HN: Autogenerate user-facing changelogs based on your Linear tickets
Hey HN,

Shri and Robin here, cofounders of Chapter.

As a former Product Manager and CTO we know the importance of creating changelogs both for internal alignment, and for customers to be informed of our latest updates.

But writing them (frequently) always felt like an annoying task, knowing what to include in the changelog, and how to maintain brand voice never came easy.

When done well, the story within the changelog can be used to build momentum and celebrate achievement, even activate dormant users.

With Chapter you can auto-generate user-facing changelogs using your existing Linear tickets, and corresponding PRs. Simply add the comment “@chapter” within a ticket in your current cycle, and get a changelog entry back. Each entry will include sections for major features, a list of improvements, a list of fixes, and contributors for each. We’re even placing your UI over nicely designed background gradients if you include a Figma link within your ticket.

You can watch a demo (2 minutes) here(https://www.loom.com/share/713892cf988c4e9e9a53aad97f62d402?...).

We’d love to hear what you think, and if you’d like to use Chapter with your team. Happy to get the service running for you.

Feel free to reach out to us directly here(https://calendly.com/run-nectar/15min).
I think I saw the ominous message from Google once prior to origin updating their stuff and me clearing cookies afterwards. FF on desktop. Also no issues on Brave.
The question is where you draw the line. Day to day politics probably shouldn't be the focus of such an org.

However care for human rights (maybe based around the UN's human rights charta or the European Charta on Human rights) might be a worthwhile foundation.
This suffers from the problem of sparse rewards. You need a better reward that gives value to intermediate results or special-case answers, since too few states are correct.
In my reading I think they first and foremost felt entitled to a clear answer.

Yes, and that has bitten us in the ass big time.

I didn't know you guys had Sweden as the location. That's fantastic! Looking forward to attend one in-person. I will share this with my network.
The solution here is to be open about decision criteria and to make decisions in a timely basis.

PSF would be acting in its own best interests to adopt a more professional approach to African community building - it’s not charity.
Declarative programming is terrible.
The old "everything is politics if you really think about it" gambit, eh?
Because putting "whining" in the title of such a genuine request would entrench the people ignoring it in the first place, they'll just say "these are not serious people! We were right in ignoring the request! Who in his/her right mind puts 'whining' in the title of a petition?".

As such, calling it an "open letter" might have bigger chances of success, even though (and judging by the responses of many of the people here), I don't think that those chances are that big to begin with.

Either way, shameful conduct by the PSF, I used to look up to them ~20 years ago when I started learning Python.
The amount of government corruption everywhere is unfathomable. They're essentially handing out billions worth of contracts to their friends... This crony-economy dominates every aspect of our lives as it's not possible for honest businesses to compete against businesses that are backed by easy government money. It's very much like slavery. The only significant difference is that instead of having two classes of people; slaves and masters, slavery is now a spectrum and is determined by how far you are from government money printers. It's absolutely disgusting.

We are heading towards a reality worse than hell where those who are good, honest, hard working and generous are punished for the benefit of those who are wicked, dishonest, lazy and greedy... All while the real economy disintegrates and concentrates in fewer and fewer hands which makes the shrinking pool of 'the lucky few' increasingly delusional and out of touch. We need to abolish the monetary system NOW and abolish taxes. Government should be forced to operate on absolute minimal resources based on its own investments.
This could be referring to any one of a number of nations, I'm afraid.

Nicely summarized.
But there are consequences. Even if the financial costs are not meaningful to a big company, the backlash created by such actions can have wide ranging implications, from lost sales to loss of the public mindshare, to attracting legislative attention.
buy the rumor, sell on the news.

repeat. and in btc case you even repeat the rumor. lol
I hate to be a cynic. But this organisation is funded by the people it is watching. There's another organisation called transparency.org, same situation. I tried to contact them about corruption in the past and they refused to get back to me, they just wouldn't respond to my calls (Answer phone) and refused to call me back. So much for this mission statements.

The main purpose in my cynical view is to provide the appearance of transparency.

Slightly less hidden, there's a Dutch organisation called "Veiligheidpercepties.nl". Here they are quite literally saying it's not about safety but the perception of safety.

But okay, at least some document gather tasks will be performed etc. However, the most important thing, associating repercussions on corruption, that's extremely difficult. In the Netherlands it's essentially impossible for certain types of corruption. i.e. the important ones.

Yes I'm aware. I grew up with a wood stove as a primary source of heat, and hated it.

But that doesn't really address my issue. For an ambient wood stove, the heat is pushed through the house from one central spot (the stove).

If you use a system to use that heat for power or something else, aren't you just going to cool your home?
Having people around you who can get you into a first conversation about a new job is indeed a great help.

There is lots of advice around on how to live on a smaller budget. The upside of this is that you won't feel pressured to quickly find something new between jobs.

There are various indexes of how LGBT+ friendly countries are. For example, equaldex lists Tanzania as rank 181 out of 197 countries (lower is better), with a total score of 12/100 (higher is better, best is Iceland at 92-100). They list their methodology and how their scores are computed, so if you want to present a factual counter-argument you are welcome to (I'm not an expert on the matter). But it seems to me that there is, prima facie, evidence for the claim that Tanzania is one of the least safe countries for LBGT+ people in the world.
