> The powers that be absolutely will not allow countries like Ethiopia to process the coffee

Yeah....no.

Ethiopia doesn't do processing because there isn't enough capital or stability to justify a multimillion investment in processing.

Vietnam was in the same position developmentally as Ethiopia today in the 1990s, but had a relatively stable government that began working on expanding credit and entrepreneurship.

Ethiopia literally had a civil war barely a year ago, a massive civil war in the 90s, and multiple insurgencies in between.
Interesting alternative but rumours of Lynx’s demise are premature.
I'm pretty surprised to be seeing this comment because I don't think this is a particularly personal attack since it's a public figure with measurable performance, and I feel as though I frequently see similar comments about Musk, Bezos, etc. Is it acceptable to change it to "is behaving like a moron" and "surrounded herself with people who make moronic decisions"?
Okay I see you replied with more details elsewhere. I'll investigate tomorrow when I have hands on a keyboard. Thanks.
The nuance is basically to drop the “free” - it’s cleaner. Otherwise their business model of sending nudes to random strangers on the internet does not work
Looking at Windows, we’ve got MS Office, File Explorer, Photoshop, Visual Studio, System admin/utilities, Notepad, Paint, Audacity, and so on… If all people actually used were just Facebook and Google Docs then Chromebooks would be far outselling Windows laptops; instead they’re just mildly competetive.

I won’t deny that “the web”, as a platform (especially Chromium) presents a compelling platform to which a good chunk of those apps could be ported (especially the apps which don’t need low-level or low-latency hardware interfaces - but I think you’re underselling the value, and necessity, of things using Win32+WDM/NTDDK instead of HTML+JS.

I agree with your framing here almost entirely, but I think it's a mistake to write off Rufo entirely. It may be in this case it's a self-serving post hoc analysis of events on his part. Maybe even probably that. But he's managed to start moral panics before (he was championing CRT and "parental rights" as wedge issues long before they were in vogue). Not worth listening to, but imo worth monitoring.
Uhhh no, sorry. Getting Eich to leave was one thing. Getting a completely incompetent replacement hired is not on those people.

Unless Eich was the one and only possible savior of Mozilla (as Steve Jobs arguably was to 1999's Apple - it does happen), these are two very different things.

You don't fold your principles just because you risk rocking the boat. And Mozilla is a pretty progressive organisation. You can't have a figurehead that isn't aligned with that.
I am in the wg14. But you should not thank me for those features. I'm not very happy with C23. We are working on making UB more understood, and to try to eliminate some UB.

To be clear: BSD was not breaking the standard, the standard didn't spell out what the correct action was. So different people had different interpretations. The standard states that things that aren't explicitly defined are UB, so one interpretation is that it was UB to begin with.
It's almost as if the constant clucking about "planned obsolescence" and deliberately withholding features is a load of bollocks.
I used to do those deductions for my kids, yep. Never had a problem.

I seem to recall from the last 4 or 5 filings that those deductions are gone now. The only thing I had to do each year was figure out the capital gains on my RSUs (in USD, so a bit fiddly). And now this year I have nothing like that, so it's just "here's my RRSP contributions, and yes, those T4s look like mine, confirmed, ok bye"
I'm genuinely disappointed by the predictability of encountering negativity and criticism towards new programming languages, even when the cynics represent a small minority. My address is to those who tend to be critical, cynical, and skeptical. It particularly troubles me when individuals adopt an air of entitlement and phrase their questions as, "Why should I use this? Prove its value to me." I would like to propose that this approach runs counter to the hacker ethos, as it immediately puts such questions in a negative light. There are constructive and useful ways to inquire about new languages, but all too often, I witness people ridiculing and deriding the work that others have shared. If this were our reaction to every new (even experimental) endeavor within the hacker and broader community, we would miss out on exploring fascinating possibilities. Many, if not most, of the technologies we use today began as small kernels or mere experiments. Through the dedication of individuals or small groups of passionate people, they evolved into essential components of our technology stacks. So, while it's perfectly valid to inquire about the compelling features of a language or why one might choose to use it, there are ways to frame such questions without sounding cynical and derisive.
How many other examples do you have? I've yet to see anyone or anything even close to legally accountable for their behavior. Corporations get caught doing things all the time, and the most I can see is a fine that is typically much smaller than the laws they broke.

There's no reason for the compensation between executives and workers to be so great. It's rigged and you can see it right here in this article.
Disregarding is an action too (and I don't think you need a ritual in cargo cult behaviors)

Ask HN: Cheap bulk SMS API (to send texts like Partiful)?
We're building a social app that will include events. I love how Partiful uses SMS for notifications, on top of phone number login.

Would anyone here recommend a service that could handle bulk SMS messaging by API? Would need to be cheap if we're going to use it as frequently as Partiful would.

Which is sort of the exception that proves the rule though, isn't it? Aviation is outrageously safe, such that all the low hanging fruit has long since been picked and they're finally cleaning up the uncorrelated failures.

Other areas of engineering aren't nearly so advanced, c.f. Fukushima, which happened because of the converse failure: the designers treated two failures (power grid failure and flooded backup generators) as uncorrelated and independent when they weren't (because tsunamis follow earthquakes).

Not quite true. No amount of instant/direct communication can help in removing ambiguity from "normal" Human communication. You need to have a method which enforces rigour and precision in the communication technique. That's what Decision Tables and other formal/mathematical methods help you with.

Thanks very much for this! Dillo used to be more or less my main browser for quite a while, mostly with all images and CSS turned off. Its combination of quick GUI element toggling + config file for fine-tuning is excellent. A very versatile browser. Probably the only one thus far where I actually felt that I had a near-perfect "grasp" of my entire user experience. I could, and actually wanted to hand-tailor everything in this browser.

There is also an (outdated) Windows port called D+ [1]. I remember it crashing frequently on Windows 10, though.

I usually read tech stuff that doesn't require hands on coding to understand. At most, I just read their code examples to understand the concept. If I feel exploring it hands on will be worth while, I'll go back over it on my computer at the end of the day.

However, there are tons of great content linked from this site alone that doesn't require any hands on to understand. Get a few ebooks too, and you're set. But I'm general I don't sit on my phone a lot because I have kids, this is a 5-10 mins a couple times a day thing. Not long stretches at all.
Plagiarism has always existed in academia. What you’re witnessing is selective enforcement, where a group wanted her out because she was weak on antisemitism, and went digging for the dirt they needed. In this case, they struck plagiarism and stopped early. But it could have easily been some other gotcha sufficient to cancel someone. When you have a thousand eyes scrutinizing someone, all kinds of skeletons reveal themselves.

A Comprehensive Survey of Hallucination Mitigation Techniques in LLMs
First ~66% is about parsing arguments in a script (without treating the subject really), and the last ~33% is about set -euo pipefail (a mandatory line to any half-serious bash script). It's a nice read, with accurate and important information. But the intro seemed too verbose to me. And, the text was presented as being mostly about the last third. I have found this a little bit confusing, idk what would be a good intro to `set`, maybe some counter examples would be better. Then the first 66% should be another post entirely, with better treatment to the material being taught (case statements, parsing args from cli to script)...

My advise is to use Python instead of Bash. Don't be a hardcore programmer, Just get work done and go touch some grass (:

How does your theory of it being “the phones” make sense when boys and girls pretty much have equal access to phone?

Firefox would be better off if it was technically a worse browser but more relevant. The function (and central marketing claim) of Mozilla and Firefox is that it is an alternative to big tech controlling the entire internet. It has completely failed at that mission. At one point, it was failing because engineering. 10 years later they've finally corrected that, about 8 years to late, and at the cost of tying themselves to Google and losing all their relevance. Again, this is a zero sum game. Firefox only has value as an alternative to big tech if it has enough relevance to prevent Google and Microsoft from abandoning standards. And it has failed spectacularly in that arena. It spent all its relevance, has failed to recoup it, and is now reliant on Google to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars solely to pay the bills. Mitchell has been at the helm for nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.
Stainless | Founding Engineer and Contract Designer | NYC ONSITE | Full-time or Contract

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs.

Our first product is SDKs as a service. When you `npm install openai` or `pip install openai`, for example, you’re downloading code that we generated.

(I built the codegen system at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

We’re about 2y old, under 10 people, have strong revenue, and are selling to companies you interact with every day (OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare are all customers). We’re backed by Sequoia.

As a founding engineer, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

As a designer, you’ll be building the future of API documentation alongside the lead engineer on Stripe’s current API docs design, and some rich, interesting devtool products.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone.

I see people claim this all the time but don't often see any real solutions just general grousing.

What would you do? Get rid of mobile computing altogether by government fiat? Ban providing a smart phone to someone under the age of 18? What about tablets and computers, how would one even enforce that? Would you force kids together to socialize for a period of time which is just as likely to develop trauma as relationships?

The only reasonable solution I've heard to the phone problem is individual parents getting involved and active in monitoring and limiting their children screen time, and unfortunately, involved parenting is not something that can be legislated into existence.
Good article and the author's effort to get the data is commendable (although it would be interesting to look at Japan, China, India, Brazil, etc.). As far as the causes for the trends, that's anyone's guess (such as social media).

It's not hard to find correlations with all kinds of events, e.g. the 2008 economic collapse had many knock-on effects and mental health doesn't benefit from families losing homes, jobs, stable community relationships, etc. This has even been studied:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4844458/

> "All studies showed that the economic crisis was an important stressor that had a negative impact on workers’ mental health. Most of the studies documented that a rise in unemployment, increased workload, staff reduction, and wages reduction were linked to an increased rate of mood disorders, anxiety, depression, dysthymia, and suicide."

Is that the reason for the increase in suicide attempts and rates among adolescents since 2010? Who knows - but clearly, rising suicide rates are a sign of societal malaise, indeed this was leveraged as a criticism of communist East Germany, which reportedly had an overall suicide rate twice that of the USA today.

I get that some people will want to create it from scratch themselves or incorporate the actual meat of it into a larger shortcut... but not sharing one that does what the article says, because of a bug 2 years ago, is a bit of a weird take.

> Obviously this means a bunch of drug companies went out of business or stopped producing insulin

If they invested the money they've earned by selling insulin at very high margins for many years into research (as drug companies usually claim), then they should be fine.

If their business model depended solely on selling a single product and enjoying the margins, then it's good for the society. Someone else can produce it.
Business and tech aren't the same thing, of course. Business was always that way, yes, and always will be.
Which specific laws are you referring to? Older formulations of insulin have been out of patent for many years, so in principle any company can produce generics for sale at lower prices. It can be expensive for generics manufacturers to get through the FDA certification process.
