Sure, I didn't mean to imply that you didn't know what you were doing. I was just adding more context for those readers who don't know what an s-expression is.

FWIW, my first static blogging system (circa 2003) did almost exactly the same thing you are doing (except that I used `[]` for lists, not `{}`). IIRC, it was maybe 5-6 macros+functions (and some readtable magic) to turn every `[foo ...]` into `<foo> ... </foo>`, with support for attributes using `:name=value` syntax and a list of exceptions for non-closing tags such as `<br>`, etc.

I redid something like that recently, in C, and it turned out to be unreasonably larger to write than in Clisp.

TBH, these days it's better to simply stick to markdown, because the tooling is much better (previews as you type, tools to automatically generate the html, inline HTML for what markdown won't do, etc).
There's multiple quite innovative features (multikernel, realtime support, code sharing, Nearlunk) in this OS but I don't believe it can succeed in the west. The trust in Chinese tech is low.

On the other hand everyone is on TikTok so who knows.

Ten Simple IT Security Rules for Early-Stage Startups
For me they are. Mine start -exactly- like this, seeing colors on white that aren't there. Then progresses to losing vision in your center focus, making you read from a periphry. Then moves to what I can only describe as a mountain dew colored wiggling lightning bolt, with extreme light sensitivity and sometimes dull headache. Lasts anywhere from 30m to 90m, usually.

I'm only slightly trying to play a 'trigger warning' card here, it's completely unnecessary and looks awful, just as my vision does when this happens. It made me check a few other sites back and forth to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Normally when I see this, I figure I'm gonna be going through the motions for the next hour.
It's my understanding that harvesting the gasses is a more complex and involved process than burning them off. The gear and infrastructure is expensive, even if you have something in place for flaring, therefore it normally isn't done for smaller wells.

There's interesting work being done to make some forms of wellhead capture more feasible though.

Your bosses notice this too.

EDIT: not you personally,sorry.

In any case, I sit in promo discussions all the time and self-promoting behavior has the unintended effect of driving greater scrutiny.
I have never quite understood why there can't be stable stallites in dimensions above 3.

I mean, I know the argument that gravity inverse square law becomes inverse cube law in 4d, but what I do not understand is that what/why enforces that. Why in a hypothetical 4d world there just can not be a gravity-like force that is inverse square? Would that cause some kind of contradiction?
Emotion Classification in Software Engineering Texts
Besides again the fundamental issue about the number of "emotions", what this genre of research fails to understand is that you cannot reliably deduce an "emotion" from something someone writes on the Internet (i.e., construct validity). And I have my doubts also about detecting "emotions" from face expressions. Maybe we might learn something from dramaturgy or some related wild field?
Note: Rego targets near linear execution speed, so it can't do recursion generally, except limited tree-like cases for sat y acl checks..

That's as intended, just saying don't expect it has full datalog power.

It deals with Json data nicely though (which my favorite souffle does not).
Not really. Divinity Original Sins and Divinity Original Sins 2 both did well enough for studio like Larian. I think they expected the BG3 to do similar, maybe somewhat better.

Trajectory was there. BG3 is an iteration of those two games and earlier ones.

Ask HN: Any non tech, interesting personal blogs to recommend?
I know people here have long curated lists of blogs they follow so I was wondering if you have any non tech related personal blogs you think are interesting and worth checking out.

I have a very niche side project I'm curating that's related to personal blogs but it's hard to break the tech bubble because most people with blogs are devs and they write about mostly tech and they link to other tech blogs so it's a never ending loop.

I'd love to get some suggestions if you have any. My email is on my profile if for some reason you have a huge OPML file you want to share.

Thanks!
Not just non-economical, but like almost all purification processes you will be producing balloon grade from the production of the ultra pure gas. Intrinsicly there will be helium that you can't separate from the other gasses that you removed from the helium.
It's not about one code file vs 2. It's about the amount of code that can fit into the context at any time.
> Apple is rumoured to be accelerating its generative AI efforts this year, including the possibility of an iPhone that can run large language models despite the devices’ limited memory.

I thought this would be the what Apple should bring out (similar to the hardware for AR) - a device only, privacy enhanced, personal assistant would be a big seller and one none of their competitors could really compete with except Google/Pixel.
Unemployment mostly has to do with matching and coordination problems.

AI or increases in labour supply doesn't typically result in reduced unemployment, rather it acts to push down wages. An increase in labour supply could even lead to people bidding over each other with time, so that the result is that people work more rather than less.

That seems beyond silly. Any pointers to sources where problems with balloons contacting high-tension lines have actually occurred?

I don't see why party balloons haven't moved to hydrogen, myself. They'd add a bit of spark to the occasion.
Souffle deserves a high ranking. It really is a nice datalog. If only field reference was possible, instead of excessive tuple pattern matching. (Though, one could write a preprocessor for it, it is just syntax).

Differential datalog is also nice, if you have the usecase.
If you come up to me and say "you don't know what you're talking about" I interpret this as you telling me that you think I am stupid. My feeling is that this would not be an uncommon reaction, either, but if you have other thoughts I'd be happy to hear them.
It would make sense to have some sort of review and proportionate “cooling off” period for Government suppliers if they have failed to deliver.

That companies are allowed to continue to bid and deliver projects after failing on previous projects is worrying.
are these two words the same: "RTCatch" and "useRaluseRalativeuseRalativeImagePath"?

> Yes, "RTCatch" and "RTCatch" are the same words. It seems there was a typo or inconsistency in the way the term was presented. They both refer to the same term, and if you have any questions or need information about it, feel free to ask.

I'm intrigued by this "RTCatch" anyone have an idea what that's all about?
When You Think You're Doing Good Work – But Others Don't
There are proteins known as "Intrinsically Unstructured Proteins" or "disordered" proteins. That function with no fixed configuration. Typically a good way of thinking about them is an ensemble of transient more common states, where things like post translational modification alters how long and which conformations the protein visits. The other replies you've gotten are inaccurate and about 15+ years out of date in thinking about protein structure.

Think of a roiling noodle where sections or the whole thing linger in certain shapes and configurations longer than in other positions.

This paper can give you a better idea about MYC specifically https://europepmc.org/article/MED/22457068

If you want to know more about disordered proteins in human DisProt is a good place to start https://disprot.org

Five questions to ask yourself every evening
IIRC phones need to be rooted to pretend to be an NFC card, although they can write to blank ones. I've done this before. The Flipper Zero is a lot more convenient though.
Of course you could also argue that Germany wouldn't have had the early successes in war, (if they had even started it). Or at a third juncture, would have fared worse against USSR.

I’d love a book like Founding Sales, which was excellent and taught me as a developer how to sell, but focused on marketing instead. And maybe product-led growth rather than a sales cycle.
Sounds like they’ve found a solution to this problem that they’re happy with. Why not do it the way they’re doing it?
Agreed. The role of monopoly profits in funding pure research almost can’t be overstated. Similarly, the geographic monopolies of newspapers (before the Internet) funded quality journalism.
Like the ones in Antarctica?
I used it a lot at first and it taught me about NFC, IR, etc. I made a few remote controls on it, which is convenient to e.g. turn a fan on at night due to its backlight. I also clone Amiibos for Switch games. And make copies of hotel room keys and RFID tokens for backup purposes although some keys can't be cloned. You can monitor all kinds of wireless signals like garage doors getting fired off around you, which is fun. I know some people use the USB feature to somehow install Windows automatically when they have a bunch of laptops to set up.
I was also playing with Cloud Vision API, and it was good but found the formatting not always easily usable. GPT vision API is great for general recognition

Show HN: Gimli Tailwind 4.0 is out -the most popular extension for Tailwind CSS [video]
Art is a sort of enjoyable endeavour for the artist and I certainly wish I would be paid to paint or make a videogame - but the world has way too much art being produced and it doesn't need another one - so I can keep writing crap react app for 300k and my soul or make a game for 50k (or go indie and likely starve).

In particular I think fiat currency and inflation drives the industry to stupid investments trying to follow trends and make money before your cash loses value - and those stupid investments turn into bad work practices. It's no chance work quality keeps going down (we're on a downhill spiral in every sector, from construction to tech, if you ask me what I've seen in the past 20y).

Art, being the antithesis of working badly, dumbed down significant (modern art anyone?) and become just a vessel to store value, more than something good made by masters.

Something intangible like a game license, despite still being art, is caught between two fires and turns into the one hit the most.

Basic income won't solve anything, it will just make everything more expensive and will shift even more money into the hands of the government.

Until we get rid of governments (likely with a painful crash, after we collapse on our own, after a 50 years slow decline) the situation is not going to improve in any way.
> A small medical innovator who's going to charge twice the price for a device that only has the oxygen monitor.

When it's not subsidized by the unrelated business unit profit of a monopoly, well, yeah.

> That's pretty innovative. ... Until the government forces them to stop I guess.

Apple's finally getting the treatment they give to their developers!
Finance is not engineering.

Ignoring that for a moment (although we shouldn't, different fields are different), their jobs page lists an opening for a Web Programmer that pays 143k-159k range in NY (i.e. very little). I'm guessing this role doesn't require notable publications and they're not looking for a "bonafide, legitimate, super-genius" to fill this role.

(Or if they are, they will never ever fill the role with that salary. They'd be fools to try and I assume they are not fools.)

That was my point. Companies will hire top talent for the revenue-leading roles but quite rationally don't need to do that for every single engineering role (as OP claimed) because there are plenty of jobs where a trustworthy responsible adult who gets the job done is exactly what they need, even if they don't have a Turing Award.
It was stupid to have a war in the first place just to arrive at CCS type 3.

Europe did it better.

EasyPark breach update confirms passwords were not salted
EasyPark admits that password hashes were stolen, but doesn't mention salts. Under GDPR, this must have been mentioned if it were the case.
Now are we also talking easy to break MD5 hashes, or why not mention the hashing algorithm and rounds?
This guy uses weak studies to confirm positions on things. Some fail replication. He blocked me on Twitter for pointing something like this out. I'd link but the whole API kerfuffle on Twitter killed my Slack bridge and so I can't find the tweet easily anymore.

Not a real expert with those systems, but I have used both. I believe buildroot is much smaller (as in much less binaries can be built) than Yocto. Yocto has its learning curve, but there is a lot readily available and you can do a lot more. It's extensible by desgn. You can build basically everything, but not without understanding the principles by just searching a few odd SO answers.

I have used buildroot for an initramfs. If you have configured a kernel before, you get going in an afternoon.
Show HN: CamGeoPlayer a free video GPS viewer
I recently got a new dashcam for car, the Viofo A119 Mini 2. It has inbuilt GPS. The coordinates are displayed on the video as well as embedded in the video metadata. I was looking for a video player that would display the video and show the GPS data on a map. I found a paid product but the trial version was limited to loading 2 videos only. And the UI was ugly as hell. I tried searching for other free apps but couldn't find any.

So I built one myself - CamGeoPlayer. It's still in beta. I have only tested it with the videos from my dashcam. Need to test with sample footage from other dashcams.

It's a simple Windows application. You can load multiple videos in the queue and it will play them one by one and show the GPS data on a map along with a moving marker that moves along with the video.

It is built using .Net and utilises open source tools like Exiftool for extracting GPS data from videos, Leaflet and OpenStreetMap for maps.

There is no installer, just download the zip file (119 MB), extract it and run CamGeoPlayer.exe. It requires .Net Framework 4.8 which should be preinstalled in your computer if you have Windows 10 or 11.

This is the first beta version so there will be bugs. If you can share some sample videos with embedded GPS data from your dashcam, action cam, or drone then I can test with them and make it better.

It's a free software. I intend to keep it free. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.
People expect to wait a few seconds when calling LLMs. Just make it obvious to users. Our GPT-4 powered app has several thousand paying users and very very rarely is "slowness" a complaint.

"instead of making me sit watching words load one by one"

Huh? This is completely up to you on how you implement your application. Streaming mode isn't even on by default.
Based on my experience of consulting with public sector, most projects “fail” in one way or another.

Gov departments are notorious for not giving correct requirements, changing requirements or swamping the project in bureaucracy.

If we said firms couldn’t rebid after a failed project (without the cool off) I suspect there wouldn’t be many firms left.

It shouldn’t be this way but unfortunately it is.
Many rolling door openers don’t use rolling code. Never heard of tvs or ceiling fans using rolling code either
The Oxford dictionary defines art: ” the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”
Mercantile opposition seems to be transitional more than permanent. It was unable to entirely dominate "king cotton" during the later civil war despite huge losses to trade. So I don't see pre 76 opposition to westward development as particularly critical because influxes of money would have changed this. Had the British government offered land and titles to the right people, it would have vanished overnight.

But you're probably right a breach was inevitable. Perhaps the rush of loyalists north to Canada entrenched it as a set of colonies more than a dominion for some time.

Similarly if Darien hadn't failed, much would be different.

I don't understand your comment about indigenous slaughter. Did I not make it plain I believe it would have happened irrespective? Maybe "continued" would be better, is that it?
Really?

In the early 20th century, warehouse pickers at the Montgomery Ward mail order company wore roller skates to get around their warehouse quickly:

https://www.leanblog.org/2006/11/old-timey-roller-skate-prod...

I think roller skates are an underrated mode of transportation, but there is a learning curve for people new to skating. If these Moonwalkers are easy to use with no prior experience, I think that's a big step (or roll) forward.
I personally think the court was wrong here it might be correct by the letter of the law but wrong with the spirit of the law. This will make more people hesitate to inform of such vulnerabilities in the future

Thanks for this link! I wonder why France and Germany have 6 and 8 times as many servers as the UK.

Mind you, per capita France and Germany also have way more servers than the USA. Interesting.
But British opposition to slavery did not pick up steam in earnest until the late 18th and early 19th century, and at first was mostly limited to opposition to slavery in the British home islands and the transatlantic slave trade. Neither of those practices were particularly lucrative. Only once sugar plantations in the Caribbean ceased to be lucrative was slavery abolished in the 1830s. While it's almost impossible to argue a "what if," the fact that British economic interests were so intertwined with British positions on slavery suggests that Britain would not have willingly freed slaves in the colonies.
So the intuition for _ would be underlining! Pretty simple. Where would your intuition jump to for underlining in markdown if _ is italics?

Em is just another bad term - which of the emphasis styles do you mean?

In 2023, nice. And rainbow tables and so on.
Only briefly. HAR is extremely verbose, which makes it impractical for storing large amounts of requests and responses. It's also not line based, not designed for easy streaming/filtering (it has header/config fields) and the more "granular structure" (e.g. HTTP headers are separate JSON objects) allows for less freedom in creating malformed requests, which can be desirable when trying to find bugs in web applications.

Yeah which I think the only remaining good application of self-driving car ( taxi ) doesn't bring that much convenient, since taxi here is already somewhat reasonably priced. I can't speak for the the US experience.

Also the article touches briefly on drivers going into jobless. A lot of drivers where i'm from seems to be retiring middle-old age working in taxi. I think it's a good job fit for them and I don't know how the new self-driving industry can provide the same thing (?)
