Would you elaborate? What makes it bad?
Cool, that does help. It wasn't immediately obvious what the problem with the for loop sharing thing meant, but seeing it run and give unexpected results helped. :)
Absolutely yes.

jQuery selector engine was developed before the official Selector API, which ended up being almost exactly the same. Except for a few exceptions which John wasn't too sure about when they asked for feedback:

I've not worked with a mainframe, but I've worked with an IBM storage system that worked on similar principles: We could connect our systems via dual controllers, to separate bays of controllers on the storage array. You could pull whole bays of controller cards and the system would stay up. You could pull whole bays of hard drives, and the system would stay up. You could pull power supplies and it'd remain up. You could swap RAM and CPUs in the servers managing it without shutting them down, but you could also pull one of those servers, and it'd remain up. If stuff started failing, and IBM engineer would show up because the system would call home. This was around 25 years ago.

It wasn't cheap, but it made a typical "modern" high availability setup look like a crude homemade toy.

But as impressive as it was, there are just very few places where that impressiveness provides enough value to justify the cost. And having to deal with IBM.

I think the title is misleading clickbait, since it suggests the EU is proposing something similar to the recent UK law, or laws in other jurisdictions regulating AI deepfakes in general; whereas this is entirely about the depiction of CSAM using AI (confusing in itself, since I'm fairly sure that EU regulations already prohibit the non-photographic, i.e., artistic depiction of such content).

A more accurate and less click-baity title might be 'EU proposes criminalizing AI-generated and deepfaked child sexual abuse content'

Though one who does a stellar job and is amazingly helpful when you contact him. I think he's the main reason why this community still teaches me something new every day.

I agree crowdsourcing reports like on HN won't work on more mainstream platforms though. Because it only works if the vast majority of the community is sane, helpful and caring.

Unfortunately the cross-section of general society doesn't match that profile anymore. Speaking as a citizen of a country where 24% voted for right-wing extremists in the last election... :'(

I'm pleasantly surprised HN is still so nice and inspiring to curiosity in this adverse societal climate.

According to more up to date reports I got to from that website, none of those years were exceptionally bad. The worst one recently (2020), was slightly worse than 2017, and approximately equal to 2015. It seems to be a trend of more moderately bad years (and, probably just them happening in California when they normally happen elsewhere, so more headlines). Not particularly large individual years.

It does look like the 10 year average has come up a bit, as 2010s report lists the 10 year average at ~6.8 million acres and our current 10 year average is ~7.2 million.

This is my main qualm about noise. I use noise canceling headphones and it is not the same as having a quiet space or having no noise. It's not that I want silence, I want to listen to the world without man made sounds. Hear the trees, listen to the birds, etc. Nothing worse than going to the park and having one person sitting alone with their sonos turned up polluting the surroundings with noise and you can't "turn it off". your only option is to mask their noise with more noise of your choice by using headphones.

Start with your own problems, even if you're the only one to have them. You're guaranteed to help at least one user, and you know that user's needs better than anyone else.

Most of my projects - especially the enduring ones - solve a problem I have. Only a few have multiple users.

Back in university I made a sort of personal Netflix, basically a web viewer for torrented movies. I rewrote that project many times and learned a lot from it: ffmpeg, Django, VueJS, single sign on, REST APIs, and a lot more.

A year ago I wrote my own static site generator. Again, learned a lot. This one powers the website I live from.

At a smaller scale, lots and lots of scripts. Some turn screen captures into gifs, others rename files or checks places against the Google Maps API. These small bite-sized problems are always fun to work on.

One problem I currently have: I need a dashboard I can push status updates to. "Last build green" or "no heartbeats in the last 48 hours" are updates I'd like to get. Most uptime tools only pull information.

My only advice: keep the scope small and release early. It's a lot more motivating to work on something that you actively use.
Ask HN: Favourite Resources on Intellectual Property
Hi All,

I'm looking to build on my ad-hoc knowledge of IP as it relates to Software and Hardware, with a specific focus on Software Licencing, Patents, Trade Secrets & Confidentiality, as well as any other related areas.

Can the HN Community can recommend their favourite resources?
I drink about 8-10 cups of black coffee a day, which is what my brewer makes.

I don’t have any issues with sleep but I don’t feel any sort of boost from it, I just enjoy the way it tastes.

I’m curious how consistent this can be seeing as coffee can be made so differently. I know the coffee I make at home is incredibly weak compared to what you’d get at a cafe. I use about 2-3 tablespoons of freshly ground beans for those 10 cups. Starbucks tastes like they use double that for a cup.

I can’t imagine I consumed that much coffee despite the large number of “cups”.
Aside: I remembered search history so I went over to make sure it was in Chat GPT and not Perplexity, but I've looked at both of those and can't seem to find a record of asking either one about shredding and scanning books. I could have sworn it was GPT 4. Now I wish I could find out. I did just ask Bard and it provided a list that included The Diamond Age, but did not include Rainbows End, though I'm quite sure that isn't where I looked before.
It seems like concern over reliability of the PiHole is a common concern (between the original post and the comments). I guess I'm just not sure why. I just run one, and have for quite a while. I've never had any issues, which suggests to me that the probability of failure is pretty low. But more importantly, the impact of failure is (in my opinion) almost zero. It's a home network. If the PiHole has a problem, either fix it, or change your DHCP server to hand out a different DNS server and renew a few leases.
With SaaS, the front end might be the least important piece of the application.

Literally the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page about EMTALA:

Mixed Reality headsets like Vision Pro and Quest

I'm honestly convinced it's half CV-driven development, and half just the fact that it's become the standard workaround for Python dependency hell. Python is still the easiest way to write software, and it's still basically impossible to make an application that works reliably on more than one machine because of how Python dependency management works (or rather doesn't), so you have to use Docker, and apparently Kubernetes is the standard way you deploy Docker containers.
Not inherently, nothing is cheaper than hydropower.
>file transfers

While some people might use XDCC, it seems more common to post a filehost link, similar to sharing pictures. You can also exchange magic wormhole codes, link a torrent file, give ipfs info, share a server where you can use sftp, etc. I personally don't like XDCC and never touch it. I think it's used more for grabbing files from bots than between real people, and for that sort of thing I much prefer torrents.

>syncing... multi-device support

I run irssi (tui client) inside of tmux on a remote server (in the house of someone I know, within 20 minutes driving distance). I ssh in and attach to the tmux session from my main PC and my phone, getting the same full client and experience from both, allowing me to do powerful things like use irssi aliases, shell commands, and tmux shortcuts even from my phone. Much more powerful than a dedicated mobile client. Plus I can run mail and torrent clients in another tab, quickly look at IRC log files going back years in another pane, etc.

I'm also on XMPP and Matrix, but nothing feels as powerful, controllable, reliable, and as fun as IRC. I've never seen Rizon or Libera go entirely down for a day or even an hour, but it's practically normal for XMPP and Matrix homeservers to go down, lag super hard, have issues sending or receiving media, have issues with encryption (which you can't even turn back off when it breaks on Matrix, but you can on XMPP). Other proprietary chats need not be mentioned of course. Honorable mention to Mumble for voice, but it's not that often I want to voice chat.

I've made a lot of friends on IRC and I still chat on it every single day.
Oslo acquires ChatGPT for 110k students and teachers

Boom, same syntax if that's what you prefer.

J/K, the error status handling is not the same and the auto-deserialization isn't present. Not hard to add but it's harder to argue not to use a lib instead of copy-pasting 114 lines of niceties into each project.
It's also possible that what you're saying is complete b.s. and that voters just want a government that can put their insane political brinkmanship on the shelf for a minute and pass a spending package that lets us pretend we have a fully functioning first world society. It's not possible to know, since we don't get to vote on it.

that's all fine and dandy, but you're trying to have a new trick conversation with an old dog that just doesn't care. you're bringing some sort of logic to a conversation where it's not needed. it works for me. i don't get paid to make UI apps or write heavy code nonsense with server side JS. i use a proper back end language. JS can stay in the browser and manipulate the DOM thank you very much. i get paid to make heavy processing code that sometimes is helpful to have UI dashboards.

i can whip up a JQuery front end faster for my needs than most can even figure out what NPM librar[y|ies] they need to use
Okay, what part of what I said are you trying to refute or educate me on?

There's a large proportion of posters on HN who spend their days building web apps. They are very likely to stick to using what they know, even when building web sites.

If you spend your days working as a welder, and suddenly need to build a box for some reason, you're probably not going to be breaking out the fine wood joinery tools. You're probably going to take some sheet steel and weld up a box and move on to whatever else you have to do.

It's not a problem, it's not a fault, it just how things are.
Well, that's the GP's point, I guess: this thing was called "Business analyst", and, honestly, I don't know what being a domain-expert with somewhat above-average computer skills has to do with "data science".

These sorts of what I like to call "reverse monopolies" are all over the place in US industry now. So many companies dumped out pieces of themselves to a single company that then supplies for all of them, removing the ability of those companies to actually compete with each other by differentiation.
I'm definitely in that camp, I read it ~10 years ago, and honestly can't remember anything about it but the book scanning.

Similarly, a friend recently read Ghost Fleet and I decided to pick it up and read it. The first chapter seemed familiar, and every once in a while there were "scenes" that I absolutely remembered having read years prior, but I had no memory of the overall plot.
Was this not always the plan? Conde Nast is in the business of corporate influence across its portfolio. Indie music and Pitchfork placed all genres and labels on a roughly equal footing. Killing indie music and bringing back label music required that Pitchfork dissolves away.
Today we avoid radiating electric generation equipment by running two steam loops through a heat exchanger; one that interacts with the hot reactor and a second that spins the generators. Perhaps you could do similar with molten salt loops? Might be tough finding a material that would work as an exchanger at the required temperatures though.

Just using electricity is probably cheaper and easier; large power plants are crazy efficient already.
I would welcome something like sNaN but actually fully enforced and widely implemented in hardwares. Otherwise it would be just a pipe dream.

> You're right that only one of those is paid well, but that's not what GP was talking about.

I didn't say anything about how much someone is paid, just that it is often a job, and whether you have a job depends overwhelmingly on whether the person paying you is convinced that you're doing it well, which may or may not relate to the objective merit of the work. It doesn't matter if you're making $150k or $20k, but it's not wise to prioritize things that nobody paying you didn't ask for.

The exceptions are of course things that don't pay at all, in which case your goal is still probably to get the best job you can done under the constraints provided. If those are too tight, things get cut, or you don't sign up for it.

“for all we know” is a powerful qualifier - I don’t think any of the articles you linked show noise itself is inherently harmful. It seems like the responses to noise stimuli in some of the subjects of these these particular studies could cause harm, but nothing about noise itself. One of the articles you link mostly deals with observing sudden loud noises effects on subjects’ concentration - which is not what I am talking about. Even very loud sounds can become white noise to people if they are persistent.
The obvious solution is to have users buy a proxy currency that goes in a wallet that is then spent in frictionless (and fee-less) microtransactions. Many video game companies use this model, albeit for their own scummy monetization systems, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't work here - is there a reason you're not considering it?
The solution is obviously to play "nature sounds" at full volume on your noise canceling headphones – while in nature!

Totally agreed: I do have a lot of empathy for people playing music on a lawn in the park, but speakers on a trail etc. in nature are extremely annoying.

> should be a trap representation

In a new, green field programming language design: maybe.

You will have FFI interop issues: what if some foreign gives you such a value, which is correct in its domain. It will have to be specially handled and widened/promoted to a type that can hold it. It looks like friction, though.

In an existing language, like C? Making currently correct programs blow up with a trap exception is a nonstarter.

I think there is no hardware support for treating 0x80... as a trap, so if you actually want it to trap, rather than leaving it at undefined behavior, your compiler has to emit check code, at least in code paths where it is not obvious whether the value is or isn't a trap.

Also, it would be strangely inconsistent for the 0x80... to predictably trap wherever it occurs, but arithmetic overflow to have undefined consequences. The two want to be tied together.

Yes, there isn't much reason to use jQuery these days other than keeping with the idioms of a legacy system.
There was a short window between 1992-1994 where some highly integrated companies like IBM/PackardBell/HP/DELL shipped computers with local bus capable VGA, but offered only ISA slots for expandability. There were custom pre VLB implementations like OPTi Local bus, Gigabyte had its own, ECS another, etc https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=460575#p460575

There was also this one off 1991, pre VESA VLB standardization, Intel/Dell joined experiment called JAWS. Dell PowerLine 450DE/2 DGX Graphics Workstation. Instead of using proper VGA chip it incorporated dumb Inmos G332 framebuffer straight on CPU bus.

I've been mostly writing Typescript the past 3 years - and recently started writing code in Go. Initially I was a little apprehensive, lack of array functions, slightly less flexible type-system, etc.

But after spending some time writing Go I now had to re-initialise a typescript project for a small-ish team (4-5 devs). The amount of time spent on things such as linting, selecting the correct library for server routing, the correct server, coding standards, basic error-handling and enforcing it with a custom error or Result type to get out of this nested try/catch hell which still loses the majority of errors. Setting up testing and mocking. Setting up Prisma and what not - and finally the PRs are still a hit and miss, some ok, some make use of weird JS functions..

Don't get me wrong, I really do like Typescript. But I gotta say after all of that it's just great using a language with a fantastic standard library, proper type-safety, with some coding standards built-in. It's obviously not without quirks, but it's pretty decent - and great to see that routing has now also moved into the standard library, another bit that you don't have to worry about - can't wait for some map/filter/find slice functions though!
Hot take, but if you have to deal with environments being an afterthought in most scripting languages, and you need to ship a specific version of that scripting language, what else are you supposed to do? Most electron apps do the same thing.
> It seems like the responses to noise stimuli in some of the subjects of these these particular studies could cause harm, but nothing about noise itself.

Yes, in a similar way to how nobody dies from a fall – it's always the abrupt landing that follows.

These reactions (blood pressure rising etc.) are largely involuntary, so why not prevent the cause if it's feasible?
One line of jQuery can replace many lines of vanilla js.
