I wrote it that way because that was I was looking at in the example code. You're mostly right. The example from my own code, of course, looks more like this:

Which does work because the rules on := are loose, but the if captured version creates a new scope that can't be shared with the return variable.
The Windows Kernel is slower because it does more stuff, and it guarantees that your code will still work for a very long time after a feature is released. People are reticent to make big changes to things like NTFS or Named Pipes, because they literally have 30+ years of software that must remain functional - this is one of the The Biggest Value Propositions of Windows: when you run an app, or your LOB software, or anything else that your business Needs, it Fucking Works, full-stop.

These threads, along with the related recurring Show HN solo-founder success stories often seem to either be some form of newsletter/social publication, or analytics platform.

I have used some of those. I just really wish these won't get blocked. I feel like it is getting neutered more and more all the time.

Ask HN: What is your process for screening recruiters when they contact you?
Hi,
usually before accepting an interview I take following 2 steps:
1 - check the job offer (of they sent to me)

2 - ask to answer a set of questions to understand if It makes senso tinstart the selection process.

I would like to understand if you also use similar methods or do something else.

If you use a method like mine I would ask you what questions you usually ask and which interest you most.

One could argue that you could treat those bookmarks as "personally curated search results"?
I think the tokens are stored on device. I think what is happening is that this is effectively an Android device (or web browser) that you are somewhat normally logging into apps on. Then the LAM (which is running on device) is interacting with those authenticated apps behind the scenes, and only showing you the slick black screen with the rabbit and results on it.
I'm in Germany, not in Spain but I have family there. My impression is that young people in Spain do face quite a lot of insecurity and pretty dismal outlooks. Focusing on GPAs and the like is one way of dealing with that (that may be most prevalent in GP's bubble), but there are others. Lack of purpose and agency and a hopeful narrative for one's own future is pure poison to the mind though, and I think that's at the heart of GP's comment. Social media may very well just be the sniffing glue that makes misery more bearable, and indirectly fuel that misery, but not act as the (primary) cause of said misery.

There are different types of shame. Shame related to a decision situation (endogenous) and shame not related to a decision situation (exogenous). In the endogenous case the shame is said to be a 'pro-social' emotion.

This is backed by studies.

"Using three different emotion inductions and two different dependent measures, we repeatedly found that endogenous shame motivates prosocial behavior. After imagining shame with a scenario, proself participants acted more prosocially toward the audience in a social dilemma game (Experiment 1). This finding was replicated when participants recalled a shame event (Experiment 2). Moreover, when experiencing shame after a failure on performance tasks, proself participants also acted prosocially toward the audience in the lab (Experiment 3). Finally, Experiment 4 showed that this effect could be generalized beyond social dilemmas to helping tendencies in everyday situations. Therefore, it seems safe to conclude that shame can be seen as a moral emotion motivating prosocial behavior." [1]

You can also contrast 'humiliation' shame with 'moral shame', with moral shame being prosocial. This is also backed by studies.

"Our data show that the common conception of shame as a universally maladaptive emotion does not capture fully the diversity of motivations with which it is connected. Shame that arises from a tarnished social image is indeed associated with avoidance, anger, cover-up, and victim blame, and is likely to have negative effects on intergroup relations. However, shame that arises in response to violations of the ingroup’s valued moral essence is strongly associated with a positive pattern of responses and is likely to have positive effects on intergroup relations."[2]

Here is a recent rundown of the labor actions against Tesla in Nordic nations:

You mean that whenever an organisation pays for a loss-making operation using income from its hardware sales, that operation is monetised via hardware sales?

That doesn't make sense to me. It makes monetisation be a synonym of funding.

Surely, monetisation means that you do x in order to earn income from hardware sales. That is to say, your motivation counts, or rationale. The rationale is of course only known to people who attend the relevant budget meetings.

These seem like exactly the kind of problems you run into the first time you try to do something in a generation. People doing something for the first time make rookie mistakes that cause blockages or duplication of effort.

But why would this not be solvable? Now you know what went wrong last time and remediate it next time. Investigate the source of the component failures or move testing them earlier into the supply chain so defects are caught sooner. Make sure the designs sent to fabricators are complete and have adequate quality-assurance paperwork. Try to avoid this "COVID-19" thing happening again, whatever that is, since it was obviously the fault of the construction plan.

The hardest problem for new plants to solve from that list is the trade labor shortage -- not because it can't be solved, but because it has to be solved by someone else. But it has to be solved by someone else anyway, because it's causing a lot of problems in general -- it's one of the reason housing costs are so unreasonable, because construction is so expensive.

From my experience, phone is an extremely common factor. If you randomly take a peek at any person in the 1st and 2nd world during their "downtime", I bet that you will 99% of the time see them on their phone. Phone have absolutely consumed everything we used to do.

You may well be right about LLMs but if they can be adapted to match you're expectations about gender says something about how LLM works and not necessarily about how humans work

My point is that the two things and not strictly related and you cannot make conclusions about humans just because you know something about LLMs or the converse. Since concepts like gender are to be understood within a context of humans I find sentences like "since gender is a social construct in humans then it follows that it must be a social construct in LLMs and necessarily easily changeable" to be fallacious logic
This reminds me of the chat bot tool that was deployed to reply to scam emails and waste maximal time of the scammers by seeming like a vulnerable, gullible target. The chat bot would drag out the interaction slowly, wasting as much time as possible for the scammer, all the while posing as a real human.

There are a lot of comments here decrying this as a method to defend your website, but in some senses it's a very smart tactical weapon, especially if deployed widely. There's an often quoted phrase in making secure password hashes that you're not making it impossible to crack, only prohibitively expensive to do so such that the benefits don't outweigh the costs. The same principle applies here -- if the good guys collectively make scanning a very expensive endeavor, the juice is no longer worth the squeeze for the bad guys. Just blocking an IP is cheap for them. Make them bleed a little.
College athletics is a pretty good system for promoting lesser-followed sports that would have difficulty maintaining an organized league -- team volleyball, swimming, field hockey, rowing, etc -- because it provides infrastructure and funding that would unlikely be available if reliant on revenue.

On the other hand, "amateur" leagues for popular sports (football, basketball) being associated with colleges is extremely effective at amplifying the interest of these leagues. Consider how little interest there would be in the "Ann Arbor Wolverines" vs "Columbus Buckeyes" in the USFL without any association with schools and their alumni, or whether anyone outside a 20-mile radius would watch Durham vs Chapel Hill if they played in the NBA's G-league.
I'll happily take 6 months pay to knock up a quick node api. :-). Just need to find a beach first.

What I found is you are right and FB is easier for the Millennial, Gen Z, Boomer or whatever IF everything you need can be done by rules and schema.

As soon as you need to write functions (because rules are not sophisticated enough or too slow/expensive, or you want to know why the thing got denied) then you are writing backend code.

It is actually easier to write the same code in a NextJS template - like there is less to learn, less docs to read. And then chuck it on Vercel which will deploy and devops it for you. So you have all the devops done for you like Firebase would and you have spent less time. Now if you are talking to postgres instead of firebase from the backend, it is actually easier IMO. A line to connect to pg. A line to issue a query.

Guess this is just my opinion, but it is less code to do so, less environment variable farting around, downloading a weird .json with all the credentials. If I were inclined I would write a blog post showing how much less lines of code are needed, how much less understanding is needed, and with the managed infra/DB offered by Vercel etc. you are still serverless, etc.

Wife (Japanese) couldn't enter her name into a web form for a Japanese hotel (had to go directly to the hotel because of some booking.com problems at the time). It had to do with half-width vs full-width, but we couldn't figure it out even though she's Japanese and her PC is Japanese. In the end we had to do a long-distance phone call.
But Japanese banks at least has a system which mostly solves at least those problems - everyone's name is written in Katakana.
Same.

Consumers are not _really_ needed in an economy, and in particular mass consumers are not needed.

It's perfectly possible to imagine an economy where most of the productivity goes into catering to the needs of those who hold capital, such as personal consumption, security and investment into activities that increase the value of their capital.

As an example, consider North Korea. Very little goes to the consumption of the regular citizens as most go into the regime and their police and military forces.

With AI, it potentially becomes easier for an elite to do this, as the police force can be robotized, meaning a handful of people (or none at all) can monopolize violence without relying on the support of a large group of humans.

For instance, if democracy collapses, the tech industry could step in as "saviors" and institute some kind of oligarchic republic or empire where the government is under the control of a wealthy elite (or an individual).

Even without a full collapse of democracy, I imagine it may be difficult for a government to fully control industry if AI becomes sufficiently powerful.

It is quite plausible to me that the result will be that international corporations will be able to protect 50% or more of value generation from taxation, by relocating to favorable markets, lobbying, clever lawyers, etc, just like today.

In both of the scenarios above, we may be seeing a massive increase in the gap between those who own capital and those who do not as labor is no longer needed to generate this value.

While it IS conceivable that at least some countries are able to adopt full socialism based on an AI economy, I wouldn't take that for granted.

> There must be a cost...

A zero cost of such actions may be a part of a collective agreement. What the postal service could do? Cut salaries and risk to become a next target for a strike?

From other standpoint employers and employees are all depend on the system to work. So it makes perfect sense to combine efforts to preserve the system.
That's kind of the point I'm trying to make here, an operating system and kernel is supposed to provide you with something stable to build on. It's its raison d'être. Should the stability of a bridge be considered remarkable? No, it's an entire engineering discipline to making stable bridges, because an unstable bridge is useless. The same goes for an operating system and kernel.

My last name contains a naughty substring. I feel for the author and their hyphen!
No, or maybe, depends on where you live. You can build the plot of land from the city where I live for the equivalent of USD60.000, maybe 75.000. This is in a nice suburb, close to the highway (but not to close), there a busses, railroad is close and you have easy access to an airport, daycare, schools and shopping. Building an average home is at least USD200.000 and most would probably spend closer to 300.000. Houses are expensive because materials are expensive and labor is crazy expensive.

Unless you want to build in very specific spots the house is almost always going to be more expensive than the land it sits on.
>"No, you need to enter your name in kanji. Of course, everyone has a kanji name, right?"

Do they actually block hiragana and katakana? If they do that's probably grounds to sue.

>refusing half-width roman characters

With maybe the exception of arabic numerals, Japanese is nearly always written in full/monospace width. This is not unlike how English is nearly always written in half/proportional width.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
> Tags and folders aren't even close to solve the problem of surfacing bookmarked links when they're needed.

I think that's an overstatement. I use tags regularly to find bookmarks in Pinboard. They work well since the content was curated by myself. I can find categories of links which can be further filtered into subcategories, etc., until I usually find what I want. It's a great way to have a collection of things I found interesting at some point, and tags and full-text search are useful enough to find them again when I need to.

Would I like a RAG type of interface over my bookmarks? Sure. But it's absolutely not required to have a good experience.
Maybe. I'd suggest phones are also symbolic of the affluence of the western world. We're so wealthy, we don't need to cooperate with anyone else for survival anymore. [For now.]

You don't see this shit in El Salvador. Parents don't pay $100 a month so their kids can ignore them and get their life lessons from Reddit.

Everyone is miserable because we need each other more than we admit. The kids really do treat each other worse than NPCs in a Westworld LARP. Those who grew up "trolling" (bullying) everyone around them online never learn how to interact with actual people in non-adversarial ways. Then they get bitter, resentful, and violent.

Every school shooter that doesn't stick the gun in their mouth at the end cites alienation and loneliness as a factor. Go figure.

Yes, that really is the case.

You're American, are you? The country where CEOs either do their job or get a golden handshake, as the cliché has it. In what sense do they have to do their job?

Life in Scandinavia is different from the US. There are expectations you have to live up to, and those you have to live up to, but they're not everything. Some expectations are less serious.
