skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
You’re spot-on. I may not have started the project if I didn’t know there was a specific decent dataset available. I already knew of a dataset of Jeopardy questions that is somewhat popular in ML circles so I just used that. I believe it’s based primarily on the excellent fan-maintained j-archive website. It’s unclear if the dataset was created with the permission of the j-archive maintainers.

I don’t do any real “curation”, I just cache the entire dataset with a web manifest file and do some simple processing on it to find a game with a full set of questions.

> I genuinely don't understand how analyses like this one are taken at face value but then media turns around and argues that IQ is primarily a result of environmental, not genetic factors.

The data backing this is largely things like twin studies, done on people who have different _childhood_ environments. With extremely limited exceptions, people are adults when they go to university.
> I fail to see what separates Alma from CentOS Stream at this point

I believe that AlmaLinux's approach is in-line with Red Hat's vision for downstream OS-es. Rocky's is not.

I think a potential benefit to aligning with Red Hat's approach is that both AlmaLinux and Red Hat will be contributing fixes, improvements, etc. to CentOS Stream -- and any other OS-es that base off of CentOS Stream. And, nothing is preventing AlmaLinux from snapshotting their own stable releases -- which allows the AlmaLinux team to test and release stable releases to their users.

> the Hostility of IBM and Redhat here has lead me to transition 100% of the CentOS Server I managed to Ubuntu

I completely agree with this perspective. This is why Rocky's decisions really baffle me: why use an upstream OS like RHEL if you absolutely do not align with its objectives? I feel like it would have made much more sense for Rocky to make Fedora their upstream instead of implementing workarounds to copy RHEL.

> I will never use RHEL or RHEL based distribution again at this point so I really do not care about the future of Alma or Rocky either

I also do not use any Fedora based distribution (typically just running NixOS or Ubuntu), however, I find that I do care about these shifts because Red Hat has tremendous impact on the trajectory of most Linux distributions. And the downstream OS-es' responses have been interesting to observe to me. :)
>If it's environmental, then shouldn't going to university substantially increase these students' IQs?

Or university could just be very bad at increasing intelligence. The goal of university isn't to increase intelligence, it's to increase knowledge, that's why university exams test students' knowledge. Outside of a few subjects university generally doesn't explicitly teach critical thinking or logic/problem solving, the skills most relevant to IQ tests.
Maybe it’s just me, but I suspect most Canadians don’t have parents with seven figures laying around.

Attending university is useful for making friends?

That's not what I would classify as useful. You can get friend from many many places. Attending university for friends is not a valid reason to attend imo.

We had perfectly good words for it.

If we added new words someone would come along and claim them too.

This is what happens when you move from a society which values dignity to one that values suffering.
The reason is that a sane format for dependencies (i.e. not XML) would be something like:

"dependency-x": "1.0"
"dependency-y": "3.2.1"

This is basically what Cargo.toml, package.json, even requirements.txt give you.

Compare that to the 6 lines minimum that each maven dependency is, plus the fact that you sometimes need to specify the same dependency again in the <dependencyManagement> section for what other languages's tools do with lockfiles, which could be several pages away because of the aforementioned bloat. So it ends up being a pain to find the version information, and to update it.

Then you add in the multi-module dependencies, where you're supposed to keep the versions in sync. Sure, there's parent POMs to help with this, but you can only use one at a time, and ultimately someone still needs to maintain the parent POM.

So then rather than specify the same version number 8 or so times in very distant locations, people put a bunch of properties with version numbers to simulate a less clunky dependency specification format.
I did try it. It seems to me that I would have to invest too much time for not much benefit, I would rather learn a new programming language, listen to a talk or read a book than spend hours learning a new method to edit text while I can do that just fine, with decent speed.

The criticisms against Content ID aren't that it can't predict fair use judgements. The worst instances of copyright abuse involve people claiming copyright that they don't own. Either against the original source material in or against works in the public domain.

By following the DMCA, and adhering to the rules, Google would be protected. Instead Google has implemented a system that is even more broken to than the DMCA and somehow has even fewer consequences to incorrect or bad faith claims.

Being a "business looking to make money" is not a moral or ethical justification for any kind of bad behavior.
Even more fun is using jmp to chain functions together -- only works when you don't have locals and have complete knowledge of your registers!
I’ve spoken to my therapist about the definition of trauma and what makes trauma legitimate. At the time she’s responded that trauma isn’t about the event but the emotional response to the event. So for example, there are people with ptsd just from seeing 9/11 on the tv from across the country with no personal loss or knowing anyone personally affected. And there are people who were raped as children but don’t have lingering trauma over it. (Edited to add: this was in context in that as a child I was treated in objectively horrifying manners but I don’t have flashbacks, nightmares, or other signs of trauma about the worst parts of it— actually everything wrong with me stems from shit that is objectively not as bad!)

Best Snack Box Subscriptions for 2023:

https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/best-snack-s...

>"Snack boxes and subscriptions are like the spunky younger brother of meal delivery services. As more folks are discovering the joys of gourmet edible subscriptions to keep that tasty stuff coming in, snack boxes have become a staple in homes and as a foolproof gift for that hard-to-buy-for someone.

A great snack box or monthly subscription doesn't just keep your pantry stocked with sweet and salty eats, it also allows you to try new and unique nibbles from all parts of the world that you might not otherwise have access to."

So, from an Entrepreneurial (AKA "product ideation/creation") perspective -- we can think about the superset of all subscription products and services (including the granddaddy of this market, magazines!) -- from that, we have a subset of food-related subscriptions, and from that, we have several other subsets, which include (but are not limited to!) such things as subscription meal delivery services, subscription drink delivery services (Gary Vee, Wine anyone?), subscription spice delivery services (anyone order subscription Hot Sauce from the Internet?) subscription dessert delivery services, subscription snack delivery services and even subscription candy delivery services!

Whew!

Point is -- it's one hell of a model/market to study from an Entrepreneurial perspective!

And yes, one could always purchase things like MSDN subscriptions, or open-source support contracts (fundamentally a subscription!) and buy monthly services from a website or a gym! (again, subscription, subscription, subscription!)

(It could even be argued that such diverse things as Rent, Taxes and Insurance -- also follow the subscription model -- as well! <g> :-) <g>)

I'm taking the opposite approach with my somewhat similar project Fantastic Dimensions[1]. I fundamentally don't believe the type of consumer that creates this sort of stuff will want to have AI do the heavy lifting for them. I'm focusing on making the building experience as intuitive and flow-state inducing as possible. These people are chasing the zen-like state of building and the sense of accomplishment that comes with hand-crafting an artistic vision, the end product is almost secondary.

Minecraft or even your inspiration of The Sims would actually be super boring if the experience was just "AI build me a volcano" or "AI make me a cool living room".

That's not true, they gave examples of raw meats (and how they were packed):

These numbers are much lower than some of the others, but they are not only in processed food.

Not sure what your question is.

"Insist in what way": starts with things like the Go FAQ having a question called "Why does Go not have exceptions?".

The answer does elaborate, so it's not like they're lying, exactly. But anything and everything Go says about this also applies to C++. There's no relevant technical difference between Go and C++ exceptions, nor is there a difference in how the standard library uses them.

... except the Go standard library swallows exceptions in some cases, which is like the biggest no-no you can do.

But nobody would say that C++ doesn't have exceptions.

On the truly lightweight end, I find Apple's Shortcuts to be effective for ad-hoc personalized creations. I wanted a simple journaling app which allowed me to just talk, transcribed what I said, and stored it with a timestamp in a text file. Realized I could do all of that quite easily with Shortcuts: I trigger it, talk as long as I want, tap the screen, transcribes (I call an API for better quality), then appends the result to a note with a timestamp. Fast, easy, and it's been reliable. No in-app purchases or ads, either.
Wow that’s pretty amazing. Wonder why I’ve never seen it in a film or tv show.

Yeah well, plumbing is hard work that you couldn't pay me enough to do as a career. God bless tradespeople.
I used to print stuff out at school and take it home all the time. I fondly remember printing off guitar tabs, cheat codes, forum threads about computer troubles I was having etc (yes, I had a computer with no internet connection).
The pipes in question were hot water pipes, used for district heating. I think most (probably every) house had had running cold water for decades at this point.

In contrast in the USA 7% of households were missing any plumbing in 1970.

Iceland was late industrializing and getting basic infrastructure. But so were other colonies. In 1918 Iceland stopped being a colony and by the 1950s it had pretty much caught on (with the major exceptions of road and rail networks).
As someone who has a Proxmox cluster at home (storage on RAIDZ, hot backups with PBS, cold backups on external HDDs) I literally recommend cloud storage for most people that ask me about backup solutions as it's simply not worth it for the average user. Those people already have all their data in the cloud anyways and share it on Facebook et al and they don't really care about the privacy side.

Remember it's not just buying the equipment, it's maintaining and understand it as well (e.g. I have to be familar with how ZFS works, how to restore a failed node, write some scripts, etc.). And with every backup solution you also need to be familar with the restoration process and test it occassionally to make sure it actually works as expected.

It's true that this distinction is often lost now, where we recognise that words can hurt.

As someone who was rarely touched in a good or bad way in my home, yet ended up thoroughly traumatised and damaged by childhood trauma, I'm the first one to point out how insidious non-violent abuse can be, difficult to prove, and often impossible to escape.

But yes, it would still be useful and helpful to draw distinctions between hands-on, physical violence against persons, and other types. In fact it is commonplace to label vandalism and property damage as violence; sure you may take a sledgehammer and violently attack a statue in the town square, and that's plenty symbolic, but it's not assault and battery.
Hi, it’s very beautiful app and very nice write-up. I am a solo developer too with attitude to the quality of apps very similar to yours and in my case it is a file manager for Mac OS. The file manager is written in objective-c as well and was gradually developed for some years already. It is very lightweight and I am using it daily as working horse to test and monitor it’s quality. It is at polishing stage now and when I am thinking about certain integration with text editor I believe it should be nothing less than something like you’ve made. Your attention to details and quality of user experience is facilitating and very resonate with with my approach to my app. I was not thinking about something particular at the moment but I thought may be there is an opportunity for us to cooperate in some form at some point and be generally in touch perhaps.
The idea that physical abuse is the only abuse we need to take seriously needs to die absolutely immediately

Emotional abuse is persistent, real and insidious in ways that physical abuse cannot be because it does not have directly causally induced external symptoms.

I can see when someone’s being physically abused and intervene via established processes. Knowing that somebody is being emotionally abused, however, is so much harder because it requires all of the parties to acknowledge that abuse is happening. Unlike physical abuse, an emotional abuser can totally destroy your life and make you think that it’s your fault and you’re the problem.

As somebody who has dealt with both physical and emotional abuse from family, I feel like long term emotional abuse is way more harmful over the longer term and for society as a whole than physical abuse (which thankfully is almost unheard of because we made such a big deal about it over the last few decades).
It's truly a show about parenting. It covers realistic themes about parenting. It's very well written. With childrens shows, it's easy to make a show appeal to kids. Cocomelon is basically loved by every child ever, but its so annoying to parents. Bluey is great because the parents like it.

I document in my workplace, and I love the idea of documenting things outside the workplace.

And there are also public lands where human remains may be disposed. I think the premise that some find controversial is that the Navajo Nation expects unilateral veto power over the entire moon, on grounds of personal belief.

C# records default to immutability. However, struct records being a lower level construct default to mutable (which can be changed with readonly keyword):

record User(string Name, DateOnly DoB); // immutable
record struct Cursor(int X, int Y); // mutable
readonly record struct Point(int X, int Y); // immutable
I don’t think it’s a mainstream pov that IQ is environmental.
Bluey is great and we love it, but I do have to say that it is not as directly beneficial for very young children as something like Daniel Tiger. Daniel Tiger has episodes that directly and clearly address things that young children are going through (little siblings, using the bathroom, managing emotions, etc). Bluey has episodes that address those things but does so in ways that are less direct and comprehensible for a pre-school child. Many Bluey episodes are more for the parents, than the children. Bluey will be with us long after our last Daniel Tiger episode is watched.
Just out of curiosity... what's the motivation for this fork? And I seriously don't mean that as an attack or insult, just wondering. Especially given that the list of changes appears to be pretty small.

Is there some specific "thing" about D that this project means to address? Or is there some grand vision or ideological basis for the new language?
Yes! It's the romanticization of the routine of parenting. The music is so romantic and epic. I feel you!
this is a fine idea in theory, but in practice, the responsibility for managing such an index would (in the US) be split unpredictably between the FDA and/or USDA. the agencies have wildly varying budgets, a Byzantine web of overlap in their responsibilities, and the GOP's trying to defund them both anyway.

indeed, the Supreme Court's agreed to hear a case next year which they may use to dismantle the entire legal basis for all the US govmt's regulatory agencies. arguments in that case begin on Jan 17th

I would just like to add that Steam assigns ten IDs to an app, making appID 10 the first game, 20 the second, and so on.

Though Steam has delisted games, they are still available from one's user library, provided they have a valid license for it. If, for any reason, it's not visible in the library, one could use the DepotDownloader[0] to download any version, past or current, directly from Steam's servers. I've had some fun with it, visiting release versions of favorite games, seeing how much they've changed.

Great script! This will definitely help some game archiving enthusiasts.
