The long term maintainability is an important point that most comments here ignore. If you need to run the command once or twice every now and then in an ad hoc way then sure hack together a command line script. But "email Jeff and ask him to run his script" isn't scalable if you need to run the command at a regular interval for years and years and have it work long after Jeff quits.

Some times the killer feature of that data analytics pipeline isn't scalability, but robustness, reproducibility and consistency.
> “Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California.”

Not sure what he meant by "object-oriented", but he - as the other members of the IFIP - was well aware of Simula 67, and he belonged to the faction that rejected van Wijngaarden's proposal and regarded Simula 67 as "a more fruitful development" [1]. So - if he said or wrote that at all - it's likely related to what Kay understood by the term, or the implementation as a dynamically typed, originally interpreted language done at Xerox PARC, not to the kind of "object-orientation" for which Simula 67 is recognized today (remember that the term "object-oriented" was originally not applied to Simula 67 by the public, but to Smalltalk).

What is the perceived benefit to removing a trampoline enclosure, though? It doesn't make the kids have more fun, it just makes the activity riskier (and trampolines are pretty much death traps). I say this as someone who had one as a kid (no enclosure) and would probably buy one for my kids (with enclosure).

aah, so you've never been out of the cities.
Because ones hands are easy to remember and recognize how they suppose to look like. To achieve desired result you must build a habbit to look at your hands every once in a while so you'll do it as often as once in 15-30 minutes for at least a week. And looking at own hands from time to time in real life is one of least weird things you can do. So it's a perfect trigger to build habbit around.

And how it's actually work is already mentioned in other comment - when you look at your hands while dreaming they will look different or weird every single time. This is suppose to make your consciousness go into "wow I am in a dream" mode.
Form my own POV you’re correct. The market is good, salary offers I get are normal, everything I see looks like the pre-2020 market to me. A lot of these reddit CS subs are full of kids who are either still in college or graduated into the hiring frenzy, so their perceptions are pretty skewed and they tend to catastrophize.

Plus, one weird lowball offer and a weird “explanation” from some recruiter isn’t indicative of a trend.
Is there a downside of having an enclosure net around a trampoline?
Asking because I did hurt myself badly once as an adult when using a non-enclosed trampoline with a hard ground next to it.
I don't see what kids could benefit from when not having the enclosure

The difference is that precedent can guide a judge's decision, it doesn't force it.

Likewise in civil law the judge isn't simply a referee, they're meant to actively investigate. While in common law lawyers get to do a big show by asking various questions, in civil law the questions are asked by the judge and the lawyers only exist to make an argument.

> Sorry, when I was talking about the stalemate rule, I meant the rule that declares that the game is a draw, if the only move you can make is putting yourself into check.

There is a Chess game that does this. It's Chinese Chess (which is just as old as Western Chess, and has the same origin in India). In Chinese Chess, the objective is to capture (or as the Chinese say, "eat") the king. There is no prohibition against putting your King in check. It works just fine, unless the only pieces left are Kings. The main problem is players doing checks forever or chasing pieces around forever: the rule is that if you do that you lose.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi

Now stalemate by repeated back-and-forth is a different matter. I would favor some variant of Go's Ko rule, which is that you may not make a move if the result would be a board that looked exactly the same as it had in the past.
Agreed. For example, here is a post about integrating vector search results with semantic graphs for RAG - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39141420

And here's a post on an alternative way to integrate vectors with traditional databases (Postgres, MySQL) - https://neuml.hashnode.dev/external-database-integration

As others have said in this thread, cosine similarity on arrays of vectors isn't novel. But there are many possibilities past that, many we haven't thought of yet too.
Because there is a Stylesheet called main.css with 5000 lines, and somewhere in there is a block like this:

Good luck catching everything, including this class and its usages, without manually reviewing everything that is used like a button, inspecting the HTML, then going over the classes, one by one, without breaking some unintended side effect.

Someone needs to ask Apple the same thing I've always been repeating: why can I visit pretty much any website with a recent browser and be safe, but can't run a native app in the same way? Hell browsers have bluetooth, USB, FS, etc access now as well.

What, their shitty app sandbox isn't all that good or something? Methinks the real reason is money.

But tbf, even though I can install APKs on Android I don't really do that as there's still the fear of bad actors; maybe the Android sandbox is safe & secure but I don't _know_ that, they haven't _told_ me explicitly about it. And if it's not safe for Android too, then why not?

> The error went away after the test user ran some terminal commands to clear "downloaded from the internet" flags from the file.

My guess is that this is something the user has to explicitly check in the Privacy & Security "App store and identified developers" and in addition, when someone tries to execute the binary, the user has to explicitly allow (again) in the same privacy & security to execute that binary. That's how it works AFAIK.

If you distribute apps not signed/notarized, users have to explicitly allow them - there is no way that you can just double click on the "MyProgramm.app" icon and it works.

Another trick is to enter the "MyProgram.app" folder and double click the binary inside. That might work, although it's a pain for some.

You're missing the point. It runs every time you show the prompt. Anything that does that is not minimal and it increases the risk of failure.

Some things that you use regularly should be kept as minimal and as stable as possible. To me that includes the shell prompt, editor, browser for example.

I consider “the full blame should be on the Post Office, and those involved.” a dangerous position. A systems must hold even if individuals fail or behave in malicious ways, and focusing strongly on individual culpability tends to overshadow the failures of the system. It’s very easy to go on from there to “If those individuals had just acted properly, none of this would have happened.”

I don’t mean to diminish the culpability of all those involved in the coverup, but the system needs fixing more than they need punishment. Fixing the system has a chance of preventing future harm, punishment does not, at least not to the same extend.

> Consider the absurdity of the question “who am I?”, uttered by an amnesiac

In that context, that question would just mean "what was my life like prior to losing my memories?", wouldn't it? So in this instance, the missing non-trivial knowledge is their long-term memory, not a problem with understanding the definition of "I".

> For example, there are some philosophers of mathematics who would try to argue that all mathematical facts are tautologous. You are trying to do something similar with facts of personal identity.

I'm not arguing that the subjective experience of personal identity is tautologous, I'm arguing that it's a chemical reaction (EDIT: and that the underlying objective truth is tautologous). Any feeling about the intuitive concept of "myself" having some kind of esoteric component above the physical matter (which I also share, don't be mistaken) would, presumably, also be given voice to by a computer simulation of your brain. That would be your brain being caught red-handed in the act of lying to itself about how special it is. And if this turns out not to be the case, then we have rock solid evidence that something is indeed missing from our simulation, which gives us an opportunity to measure that something, which in turn makes that something physical.

> Your linguistic analysis of 'I' doesn't work if understood in purely physical terms. Lots of people are speaking at any given moment, but I don't refer to all of them if I say 'I'.

Valid point. Refinement: in any speech, "I" refers to the person making that speech.

From my own experiences and plenty of others their so called moderators are crap. App Store review process is total bullshit most of the time, and yet they still end up with scam/trash apps on the store.

Besides, how many app updates are there per day? The amount they pay an app reviewer x n reviewers is going to be _nothing_, a drop in the bucket of what they make from the app store overall.

App Store is a cash cow so they'll protect it viciously; I expect Apple will win this one through their usual gaslighting/cult personalities unless EU is willing to come down hard enough on 'em. Ban sales of Apple products that do not conform, easy.

It doesn't affect consumers in any negative way, only positive.

>the whole pretense of "the curating of the store allows them to ensure high quality safety" is frankly not in line with reality, the app store being full of crap and spam while blocking updates to apps that apple don't like (spotify for example).

I don't think it is. It might not have only top tier apps, but it's not full of spam and crap the way the Android store is, and has a much smaller problem with malware.

Just because the bad apps aren't reduced to 0% compared to Android, doesn't mean a 50-80% reduction is not already a good thing.

The article seems to present a dichotomy between what the author terms a "clean" git history, which he seems to think is a history where multiple commits are squashed into single commits that contain, I guess "one feature", and the unnamed "other" way of doing it, which the author doesn't really elaborate what exactly it is, but he appears to means willy nilly uncurated commits of whatever? To me, both ways he talks about are insane.

With something like stgit[1], it is dead easy to maintain a stack of curated, small un-squashed git-bisectable commits, and your commit history looks like the work of a supernatural genius who knows exactly what he's doing and rarely makes mistakes, and if you have to port your patches (commits) across multiple variants of the same source (think linux drivers ported to multiple distro kernels) that's easy too.

Thanks for the reference. There are quite a few writers railing against the current Professional Managerial Class (PMC). It's very interesting to see that their rise has quite a long history. Where things appear to have gone off the rails is that the PMC are now more interested in the management of perception than actually managing. The proposed solution is to get more competent managers but Burnham points out that the issue is likely more fundamental than that and a new social organisation may be required to deal with their shortcomings.
It also enables some powerful, well-known attacking patterns, like a smothered checkmate with Queen sacrifice (or Philidor's mate).
