As someone who greatly values the ability to (occasionally!) use emojis as/in identifiers in my personal-project code, I'll never understand why the Unicode Consortium chose to exclude emojis from the ID_START and ID_CONTINUE character classes [1] (in terms of which so many programming languages define their concept of a valid identifer).

I'm not even sure the exclusion of emojis is consistent with their own explanation [2] of what an identifier should consist of, given that IMO an emoji pretty clearly qualifies as a 'ideograph' (a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept).

It is reasonable to exclude non-representational characters like punctuations marks, dashes, parentheses, brackets, etc that intuitively don't 'stand for' anything and instead solely serve to delineate syntactic structure. But the vast majority of emojis are entirely unlike punctuations marks and do intuitively 'stand for' some idea or object.

[2] "The formal syntax provided here captures the general intent that an identifier consists of a string of characters beginning with a letter or an ideograph, and followed by any number of letters, ideographs, digits, or underscores" (https://unicode.org/reports/tr31/#Default_Identifier_Syntax)
Isn't stylex with Typescript type-safe, also? (Which makes various typos and mistakes at least visible in tooling.) Does Tailwind have an equivalent?

It is really impressive that everyone was able to evacuate the plane. From some of the videos online you can see that there was a significant and increasing amount of smoke in the cabin. It is a testament to the evolving design of commercial aircraft. The light strips on the floor always fascinate me when I am flying. I often think about how if the cabin was filling with smoke, those lights would be the only way you have to keep moving towards an exit.

> Most of that can be (and a lot of it was) resolved with artificial voices

Existing artificial voices don't even attempt to tackle many of the points and are very clearly a poor substitute (watching a movie dubbed by Alexa?) even in the scenarios where they could be used - far from "resolved". If taking a binary view that it's already technically possible and therefore isn't relevant, I could claim the same of scams.

Given you initially claimed "no positive" but here only take issue to "most" applications listed, do you admit that there are some positives - even if you believe them to be outweighed by negatives?

> certainly no need to make it widely accessible

If it exists but isn't widely accessible, it's likely in the hands of Musk/Zuck and or various state actors. To me that seems the worst alternative - to have a public generally unaware that it's possible and receiving few of the benefits listed, yet still having it available as a tool for competent disinformation.

That's a viewpoint backed by crude jingoism and not much else. See https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/13dg3s/how_t..., for example.
I see what you mean. For what it's worth, I wasn't mainly trying to comment on whether classical music notation is a good general language of music. My view, to emphasize, is that classical notation is very useful in certain contexts, absolutely not in others.

Some cases where Western classical musical notation is a really poor fit:

- anything with pitch bending and non-Western or microtonal scales

- non-tonal or percussion instruments

- folk or popular styles of guitar (which anyway has a whole subculture of guitar tab)

On the other hand, if you want to learn classical piano... I don't think it would make much sense not to learn classical musical notation. In this sense, I don't really agree with the COBOL analogy; COBOL is obsolete in a way that sheet music just isn't.

I can't say I really have any opinion on what is the best general case musical notation style for newbies. I guess I leave it to school music teachers to figure that out!
> Twitter faltered but recovered and competitors don't have an opening any more.

Really? I dropped Twitter and have been on Threads since it opened, and afaict, it's gaining momentum, while Twitter becomes the new Truth Social.

Threads does have a different set of problems (instagram influencers showing up in your feed, for example), but mostly I just read people I'm directly following so it's not much of an issue. Perhaps eternal September hasn't arrived for it yet, but thus far I greatly prefer it.

Who cares, the customers aren't exposed to all that and that's why they don't know it. It's like saying that McDonald's doesn't have any hamburgers, it's all buns and meat and lettuce. Yeah, that's how it works.

It's a well known adage that democracy is the worst system of government, but the alternatives are worse. A lot of countries are moving towards autocracy at the moment, using democracy as a means to keep the people quiet - "you voted for this", "sorry your side lost but we live in a democracy and you should accept defeat gracefully", that kinda thing. The illusion of choice is very overt in countries like Russia (where the opposition is removed) and the US (where the choice is often based on populism or the lesser of two evils or the opposition to what is the current status quo). There's also the illusion of voting for a party that represents your interests; in my own country of NL we had voting last year, a lot of people were cynical because in previous elections, the chosen parties quickly compromised on their own party program because they wanted to be part of the coalition.
> does NOT remotely justify the additional cost...

The recommendation system is amazing and totally worth an additional cost to me.

> You paid $10-20 one time and the music was durably yours forever.

I'm old enough to have re purchased my music on three platforms: vinyl, CD, mp3. If you buy physical media you have the added cost of needing space for the stuff and needing to move it around with you. As for Mp3, they are the great but they made sharing so easy stealing music became a real problem.
They did; the article even points out that there were two audits that showed the discrepancies:

Look at older versions of Musecore. They had a wildly different UI (no tab bar, etc). The release after he joins, the UI totally changes.
I think maybe you're under the impression that:

1. Passengers on JL516 were not permitted to use their phones during landing.

2. I'm proposing that we start allowing them to use their phones.

3. If we did that then all 379 passengers would have died [1] because evacuation would have taken longer than the time before the plane was engulfed in flames [2]

Except #1 isn't the case: passengers were allowed to be on their phones and were doing so. And so #2 isn't the case either: I'm proposing maintaining the status quo.

And even if we had granted #1 and #2 I don't see how you get #3 because even if the extra time were entirely eaten up by 30 distracted passengers this wouldn't get you 100% dead: people don't leave in a single batch determined by the speed of the slowest person. There are multiple parallel exits, and each exit operates serially.

This quote in particular struck me as relevant:

> And now Google is unusable: using LLMs even just as a compressed form of documentation is a good idea.

Beyond all the hype, it'd undeniable that LLMs are good at matching your query about a programming problem to an answer without inundating you with ads and blog spam. LLMs are, at the very least, just better at answering your questions than putting your question into to google and searching Stack Overflow.

About two years ago I got so sick of how awful Google was for any serious technical questions that I started building up a collection of reference books again just because it was quickly becoming the only way to get answers about many topics I cared about. I still find these are helpful since even GPT-4 struggles with more nuanced topics, but at least I have a fantastic solution for all those mundane problems that come up.

Thinking about it, it's not surprising that Google completely dropped the ball on AI since their business model has become bad search (i.e. they derive all their profit from adding things you don't want to your search experience). At their most basic, LLMs are just really powerful search engines, it would take some cleverness to make them bad in the way Google benefits from.

> The inconvenience vs risk threshold here is similar to bucking a seatbelt which is hard to argue is a poor investment.

It really, really is not. Seatbelts actively prevent injuries from sudden violent phenomena. "Paying attention" does absolutely nothing to reduce the forces you are subject to in the event of, say, a collision with a Dash 8 that was on your runway at landing. It helps post-incident at best.

And I have "paying attention" in quotes because I feel like people are ignoring how attention actually works when they propose things like this. Human brains actively reroute focus in response to stimuli - like, say, a collision with a Dash 8 that was on your runway at landing. That's the whole concept of "a distraction". Hell, just a car braking particularly hard is stimulus enough to capture its passengers' attention, to talk of a plane landing going wrong in such a catastrophic manner. By the time the cabin crew is even ready to begin an evacuation, whether or not a person was fiddling with their phone (or just staring into space) some seconds before the incident seems highly irrelevant.

Sugar alone? No, not really. A lot of stuff that doesn't need any added sugar has it (tomato sauce, baby formula, jams/jellies, gravy, salad dressing, etc), but overall, a plurality of the items for sale in my local grocery store don't have sugar. I can buy prepared pizzas, burgers, frozen dinners (just don't eat the dessert, be careful of gravies), lunch meats/cold cuts (almost all animal products really), many types of wheat-derived products like bread, pasta, cereal. Lots of veggies are super easy too.

Sugar is pretty easy to avoid. Stop doing your shopping in the twinky aisle.

Simple carbohydrates in general? That's more difficult.

I blogged[1] about this a few days ago. Fresh start events like new years, birthdays or something catastrophic happening in our lives are usually triggers (and an effective one) to start doing something. Similarly to the author here, 20% of users on 5Goals came on January 1st. The most effective way to minimize micro-failures is to make the goals achievable so you can build momentum. Momentum is a force of nature.

Funny enough, from my own research with my project, a Green Day (a day where 5 out of 5 goals were achieved) either comes right after a Red Day (0 of out of 5 goals achieved) or right after another Green Day.

Huh? Every single one of these things is being worked towards by crypto companies.

1. Seed phrase security -> Ledger, Safe Multisig [3], Privy (sso for wallets) [0]

2. MFA for crypto wallets -> Ledger, Safe Multisig [3]. Both recommended by the crypto community.

3. Warnings pre-transaction for suspicious signing requests -> Fire Extension includes warnings [1], wallets like Rabby [2] include presigning warnings, Safe Wallet [3] includes simulations builtin

4. Wallet insurance -> A few startups [4], provided by crypto exchanges, generally not needed with other precautions in place.

* Easy onboarding

1. Easy onboarding -> Account Abstraction in general [5], Alchemy infrastructure [6], Privy wallets [0], Coinbase Wallet-as-a-Service [7], Magic.link wallets [8] and MANY more .

* UI/UX
1. Hard to use/exotic -> Crypto IS exotic. Wallets like Coinbase Wallet [9], Rainbow Wallet [10] abstract away most of the crypto details. Phantom Wallet [11] has a great UI/UX.

Ask HN: What's the name of the website where the structure changes as I scroll?
Hey HN,

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I recall clicking on a website through HN. The website was about learning CSS or layout. As I scrolled slowly, the website layout changed. The author was promoting a book at the end of the page. I can't seem to remember the website's name, but I'm looking to buy that book.

Please comment if you know the website.

Thanks in advance.
As a partial explanation, maybe it's not the case that area = weight/tire pressure as an absolute rule? In which case we get back to the layman knowledge of "wider tires have a greater contact area."

As an extreme example, run flats at atmospheric tire pressure don't drastically change their area.

First rule of computer graphics: simple and plausible beats complex and realistic, every time. A noise function you likely have anyway, as noise has a myriad uses in graphics. An FD solver, not so much, at least if you're not working on water/smoke/fire simulations.

I really like the idea of aider but when I tried it, it didn't work. The first real life file I tried it on was too big and it just blew up. The second real life file I tried was still too big. I was surprised that aider doesn't seem to have the ability to break down a large file to fit into the token limit. GPT's token limit isn't a very big source file. If I have to both choose the files to operate on and do surgery on them so GPT doesn't barf, am I saving time vs. using Copilot in my IDE? Going into it, I had thought that coping with the "code size ≫ token limit" problem was aider's main contribution to the solution space but I seem to have been wrong about that.

I hope to try aider again but it's in the unfortunate category of "I have to find a problem and a codebase simple enough that aider can handle it" whereas Copilot and ChatGPT come to me where I am. Copilot and ChatGPT help me with my actual job on my real life codebase, warts and all, every day.

Deposits, although an important source of funding are not a requirement, capital is. There are capital requirements that make starting and running a bank a fairly expensive enterprise - you need to put up a lot of your own money (equity) for use.
> Since health recommendations are generalized for an entire population, it makes sense that experts target individual advice with the public in mind.

I profoundly disagree here. I believe it would and should undermine trust in scientific publications if the results get framed with the intend to influence behavior. That is neither scientific nor helpful. Perhaps a statement would need to make sure it cannot be generalized as is.

You can say that nuts are healthy for the most part, it won't immediately kill the people with allergies and you could also replicate the numbers game that was put forward as a justification to lie.

Perhaps the result of a study needs to be put in context, if it is not "communicable" as is.

But this is such an easy example to communicating the results that there shouldn't even be a thought wasted for the "correct" framing of a study.
