I think you have correctly identified the cost of aiming for long term, evergreen success -- you must sacrifice short term gain to get it.

Yes, because records are still slowly being improved, it means that people will put together workarounds and temporary solutions so that they can get their desired feature as soon as possible. It also means that some will just throw up their hands in frustration and say "It's half-baked!", then disregard the feature entirely. It's a tradeoff that the Java team considers on a regular basis.

It was a similar tradeoff that led to them releasing Virtual Threads before they had a solution implemented for the pinning problem. That one wasn't so much that they needed feedback before they could fix the problem, but moreso that they didn't want to miss out on potential feedback while they were fixing the pinning problem. So, they released VT with this (temporary) deficiency, and they are working on it now while gathering as much insight as possible into how VT's are being used across the ecosystem.

Tradeoffs like this are painful, but they make for a better language. Not to mention, for faster long term progress. A well designed feature becomes easy to extend. A poorly designed one is easy to extend initially, but becomes far more difficult in the long run.
I don't see why interesting 2D animation could not be made using closed forms. A rectangle takes 2 parameters for shape, and 2 for position; 3 if you rotate it. Similarly for an ellipse. Realistically you also need a Z-index. The soft-min function mentioned in the post would allow to merge 2D shapes the same way as 3D shapes, at the expense of one additional parameter.

An approach similar to the signed depth field and ray marching can be used to determine boundaries, and thus the kind of painting inside. This would require to start a scan line at a position which is guaranteed to be outside of any of the shapes; this must be easy. Texturing would be harder, but, knowing the position inside the shape relative to its center, it would be possible to procedurally generate nice gradients, regular textures like bricks or scales, or noisy textures like fur. Using the same trick with calculating the gradient would allow to create nice thick / styled outlines.

Doing this on a CPU would, of course, be pretty slow, so this would need to be written as a bunch of shaders somehow. I don't see why it won't work though: each shader could take one scanline, they would share the same geometric model, and shaders are good at doing a lot of FPU math in parallel.
Fwiw, I initially burned through the free searches in a few days, so definitely not enough IMO. Add the fact that free searches never got refreshed for my account, and I was pretty much unable to properly test the service for months. But bangs still work after the limit, thus I kept it as default given that I heavily use bangs to search other services.

Still I ended up subscribing, and after properly testing, I can recommend. The service is good, the blacklist feature is essential to me now; is just that the free tier is shit.
Is it the startup time, or the fact that parallel buffers and combines the outputs in spawn order?

If I don’t care about stdout, I usually use xargs’s parallel mode instead.
I don't really consider the SO survey useful anymore. It seems to be hyper-selected to just Silicon Valley techbros, instead of either the more general US tech industry, or the worldwide tech industry.

If the Silicon Valley is just a bubble, then the two bubbles I live in (life-long FOSS/Linux guy, but also deep into the hosting/transit/non-eyeball end of the Internet), every single Mac owner I know does not run OSX, but only wanted it for the physical build itself; they either run Windows because of job reasons, or they run Linux because they like to get shit done.

Everyone else I know is slowly joining #TeamFramework. Having made what seems to be the best Ryzen laptop on the market is certainly turning heads, and congrats for pulling it off.
You're looking at the wrong statistic. Inequality is the issue. There are plenty of people living hand to mouth who don't fall in the definition of poverty.
Maybe. I lease an apartment with floor to ceiling windows. They have motorized shades so it's not 24/7 conspicuous exhibitionism. The curious bit is they built it with a floor to ceiling window in the master bathroom. Also, the construction people forgot to wire power to the shades so they're a hassle to charge.
We're trading food with "conventional" Australian grain farmers with 4,000+ acres (we use both hectares and acres as many boundaries here predate the 1970s metric changeover) because we have the time to do fruit, jam, preserves, etc (fiddly stuff) and swap that for 20+ kg bags of flour, whole lamb, etc.

We also run multispectral imaging drones to collate data from ANOVA crop variations to build databases on yield V. tempreture | humidity | nurients, etc.

Despite all that home grown figs, pears, tomatoes still swap well for other good and here at least we're not thinking of as luxury, just a way of life.

The most unsatisfying finale of any show or season ever was Stargate: Atlantis.

This show ended in a dead-on cliff hanger, leaving the whole story in an open end, just because they wanted to get people into watching the remake cinema movie.

I think Better Call Saul is the better show. I really enjoyed it. And Rhea Seehorn was totally robbed of an Emmy.

My problem with Lost is that we were promised something better but it turns out the show runners were just yanking our chains. They have no more idea what really happened than the rest of us. I'd almost rather them say: yes, everyone really is dead, it was all purgatory just like everyone thought from the beginning. Ugh even thinking about it is raising my blood pressure.

Palworld is a indie/startup game sold 8m copies in 5.5 days so far and recording second most in simultaneous player count on Steam.

There are assets in the game that are, mostly subjectively, just too close to Pokemon models that there has been internet flamewars around that topic.
Well this isn't really like Lombok since it doesn't hack compiler internals but just generates some code using very standard annotation processor.

The alternative is to write this code by hand which isn't any better.
How does crypto solve capital constraints when you have to convert the fiat to crypto? This is by far the biggest challenge. Crypto is like a solution that is worse than the problem in many instances. Maybe fine for small transactions, but not subverting capital controls.
> this was a straightforward moderation call, not some weird capitulation.

This makes sense. Despite the post being critically salient and undeniably on topic, it is a violation of the rules. Or not, just a moderation call or both or neither. Anyway despite the obvious relevance here the rules/your discretion (whichever one it is) have thankfully saved us from any discussion of the uncontested fact that this is a material issue and not an abstract discussion of moral issues.

I am sorry that I gave you the impression that this was some weird capitulation, that’s not the case. It’s a wholly normal and humdrum capitulation that is not in any way odd. Treating issues like this as abstract or unworthy of discussion is the norm in many industries, tech included!

The fact that the attorney general of the state can and will intervene between doctors and patients in order to further an ideological agenda is wholly abstract to a group that will insist that “this doesn’t apply to me personally and therefore is unworthy of discussion”. By default (either rules or moderation call, whichever) they have been deemed correct and endorsed here by explicitly disallowing any discussion to the contrary.

> If you throw your “little garden path” program up on GitHub and somebody decides to use it to build their “highway,” it really ought to be on them, not you.

It used to be this way (at least in the companies I was involved in back then). In the 90s there was plenty of open source but it was generally a huge no-no to use it in commercial software (even when the license was permissible).

Incorporating an open source library (just one!) to our product in the 90s meant months and months of meeting with company lawyers to get that approved. And it meant we (the team developing the product) were 100% on the hook for all fixes.

While I'll admit it was a pain, in hindsight there was a lot of benefit from that approach. It discouraged importing random libraries unless there was a lot of value in them, so we had to be selective. It made it crystal clear that open source is not free, there's a lot of cost and liability.

While it's convenient today to import a library that brings in 700 other libraries, none of them vetted, any one of which might be full of malware, maybe that's actually not so smart.

I increasingly feel we need to go back to explicitly admitting that we (the company) are 100% responsible and liable for the code we ship. If we import it from open source, no matter, we're still on the hook.

> the HEPA filter works by having an injected electrostatic charge which will leak away over time

Nope, HEPA filters are not dependent on electrostatic effects and do not magically start leaking. When they are too loaded with dust, air has a harder time getting through, which is the main factor that causes them to need replacement.

From the HN Guidelines:

“Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.”

That user almost exclusively links to what appears to be their own product, which is self promotion. They also do it without clarifying their involvement, which could come across as astroturfing.

Self promotion sometimes (not all the time) is fine, but it should also be clearly stated as such. Doing it in a thread about a competing product is not ideal. If it came up naturally, that would be different from just interjecting a sales pitch.

I haven’t downvoted them, but I came close.

Well, since this is the US, what would be the incremental cost of package delivery if every train car would have an armed person shooting at anything that comes close to the tracks? A semi-automatic rifle and lots of ammo would deter a lot of people from atracking trains.

Not doing avout it anything hurts all the business that either have to refund customers or resend another item at their own expense.
Changing a hot water prematurely is probable less expensive than having one blow the bottom out and flood whatever area it is in. I don't have a basement, so my central unit and water heater share a utility closet in the hallway sharing a wall with a bedroom. It's a pretty bad design flaw, as during the summer of 110°+ temps, it is unnecessarily heating the house. IR temp shows that shared wall from the bedroom side over 90° radiating into that bedroom. </rant>
> but there's been a lot of wrangling over the exact definition of "commercial."

That's disturbing since the definition should be trivial!

If I publish a library (whether open source or not, doesn't really matter) and charge you money to use it in your product, that's commercial. I'm happy to take the liability (and will of course charge you enough money to make it worth it to me).

If I throw out some code on github but you're not paying me, that's obviously not commercial.
It's likely to have increased divorce rates - theoretically, women will be on the pill whilst single, get married and want to have children and then when they come off the pill, they'll find different people attractive. Unfortunately it's difficult to distinguish this hypothetical effect from social factors which lead to people taking in the pill in the first place, so correlation studies must be almost impossible to do correctly.

EDIT: Looks like I might be completely wrong (although the caveat about hidden variables stands):

"But an even bigger positive is what comes when we look at the divorce rate. Despite the whole my-sex-life-is-meh-and-I-am-not-that-attracted-to-my-partner thing, women who chose their partners when they were on the pill were significantly less likely to divorce than women who chose their partners when they were off it."

I think there are different levels to "things working" though. A country can be using an economic and governing system that ultimately doesn't work, but still have enough weight to throw around for a while, enough to do plenty of damage to others. Russia is clearly showing that right now in Ukraine. Even if Ukraine prevails (far from certain), the country may never be the same. China may pull something similar (and be more successful at it) in Taiwan in the near future.

I do worry about Chinese products in the classes you mention. OP notes that China became the world's largest automobile exporter in 2023 (by units sold, not by revenue). China still can't rival Intel or AMD in chips, but they're gaining ground all the time, and have some decent (though not superb) competitors in the ARM market, with inroads into RISC-V, I believe. The Comac C919 airliner isn't exactly all over yet, and I don't know how safe, relable, and airworthy it is (not that Boeing has done well in that regard lately), but it exists, regardless of whether or not the allegations that they stole IP from US manufacturers is true.
A simpler solution: Just physically remove the RFID tag. The unit continues working fine without it, with no further complaints. At least on the 3H model. I think the main point of the RFID tag is mainly to prevent sellers from selling either fake, or even worse, selling cleaned but used filters as new. So when you use the air purifier with a filter without the RFID tag, it just throws a warning the first time and then just works™.

As a user it's important to know that you have an authentic, original (and new) HEPA filter. So while it's a cool hack, I really hope that this doesn't result in a flood of low quality counterfeit filters on the market.
great, so we can't use ink jet because of their shenanigans, and now you're saying don't buy laser or photocopier. so how to i put ink on dead trees?
I watched the show about ten years after the finale aired and I was shocked to see the finale get such a negative reaction—it's probably my favorite show ending I've ever seen. The combination of "Don't Stop Believing" and the cut to black is unmatched. I don't know what you mean by "cop out"—what ending would you have preferred?

Unfortunately Russia benefits from a massive support of China.
Have fun :) It's really nice how each contest has a pretty smooth difficulty climb across the 25 questions. The first ten questions are all very easy, but then after that it escalates a fair bit, so you can find the right window for you.
Russia's grand strategy is to foster domestic unrest and civil strife in other countries and leverage them as proxies. Their ground warfare game is mediocre, but they excel in information and electronic warfare.
>More interesting would be if they said (off-the-cuff) "Our sole top-level goal is to deliver the world's most advanced, safe, and responsible AI. We actually really, really mean it. To that end, adtech is now a subgoal in support of short-term funding the AI goal, adtech will disappear in 4-8 years, and until then will be staffed at minimal sustaining level. Information services and devices are solely to provide data and user access points for the AI work. Cloud services are refocused on AI-based solutions. We don't need 70% of our current employees, and we need to replace some of that freed headcount with different kinds of thinking. And we need to get the remaining and new people to be motivated by the mission, despite 20 years of hiring and incentives that would naturally lead most to focus on career rather than mission."

>Probably neither they nor any other huge company could pull off a serious goal focus like that, and they'd basically throw away a cash cow machine that could've been milked much longer. But it would still be interesting.

Yeah, that's interesting, I had almost the same exact sequence of thoughts myself. If _I_ were running google, I'd probably be tempted to bet the farm on the AI aspect, just as you say. But at Google scale, there's an almost crippling responsibility to not kill the cash cow, since you're talking about throwing away hundreds of billions of dollars. If we're being honest, that would probably be a unilaterally bad idea for the health of the company.

Still, Google is so disassociated and somnambulant right now. There's got to be a lot of daylight between "complete, laser focus on AI" and what we're getting now. Evidently the current goal is "just keep durdling with whatever we seem to already be doing".
No, not all infinites are the same. For example uncountable infinites are all larger than countable ones.
Interesting how the US is seen as "will shoot at anything, if possible" while others try to think how a lock could work.
I would be wary of mixing two frameworks in one project, since that would require the intersection of relevant skills from future developers or maintainers. One must be sufficiently familiar with both ends (and any idiosyncrasies of how they are used in this instance) in order to jump in and push changes that don’t mess everything up.

If coming from Django side (which I did), consider whether you really need a separate framework for the front-end. Nowadays, JavaScript isn’t that hairy, and browser runtime comes with tons of batteries and syntax sugar that make it easy to write complex things. Maybe you want to use a small library like React (which is, of course, not a framework) for certain widgets, or even introduce an extra build step and write TypeScript, but sticking to vanilla overall can be key to managing cognitive load for others or your future self. Yes, maybe you’d need to write a tiny bit of boilerplate (much less than in IE6 days!), but on bright side—basic language reference (e.g., MDN) would be enough for anyone to grasp how it is generally put together.

If you are considering using a framework and your front-end part is sufficiently complex for that then consider if you should rather architect it as a separate project. Putting strong boundaries in place can help keep it manageable, problems are isolated to one side, and it’d be more easy to find someone who is best at Django or best at (insert your front-end framework of choice) in future.
> Why would you need to have "faith" in an open source product?

Well, even ignoring the central servers which are required for all of Zed’s collaboration features, I’m not personally interested in maintaining my own persona fork of Zed

So that means I need to “have faith” that someone, whether a paid team of developers or an unpaid group of volunteers, will continue developing, or at least maintaining the project.

Or that it gets abandoned in a state that I can keep using it indefinitely, I guess.

> For that matter, why does an open source product need to make money in the first place?

That’s a fine question in general, but in the announcement they pretty clearly say that they are hoping to make money with unspecified future subscription services, not that they don’t need to make money

> Except they exterminate bugs for you as a free service.

Yes but as the majority of hobbyist exterminators must be aware, most of them steal their extermination service. Who cares if the people who exterminate for a living get paid?

Is this fair? One thing you don't do by stealing extermination services is get back at Terminix for some problem you may have had...
