Vue with Vite (the builder/runner) is a stable, open source option. It is really a lightweight start where you're mostly writing HTML with interpolated data, and Vue is updating values correctly and performantly. Just build your reactive HTML app in one file and break into separate components as you're feeling the spirit. https://vuejs.org/guide/quick-start

Mithril if you just want to drop in want a tiny, complete reactive library that doesn't require a build step--this one is most like what you might end up creating in a large jQuery app. You can understand everything from the homepage. https://mithril.js.org/

HTMX if you really like HTML conventions. This doesn't feel jQuery-like and depends on your approach to your server app. https://htmx.org/

If you were to pick just one, I think Vue would be the most rewarding.
They weren't admitted, but how do you know they were not even considered?

More generally, a 1600 is not some kind of "get into college free" card.

I did admissions for a very competitive university program many years ago and we primarily used test scores to establish a baseline. One reason was to make sure we only considered people who could handle the program's rigour, but equally valid was that the four of us couldn't possibly review thousands of applications so we needed an automatic filter. But after that filter we didn't pay attention to test scores except as a tiebreaker when filling the last few spots.
This sort of thing is a feature I often feel is missing, sites have "last week", "last month", etc., and you can see what stories have been top. But you can't then go back to last month and see what the top 'stories' for the preceding month were.
An Extensible Conversational UI for Interactive Components[1][2], current use case is a Personal Productivity Assistant for structured data.

The stack is simple, preact in the fronted with a custom framework on top and bun on the backend calling OpenAI, I may port it to rust in the future.

I plan to try local LLMs when I have some free time.

For now each users runs the application locally with their own keys[3].

Maybe theyre talking about NaN?Comparing against NaN return false. That doesn't violate transitivity, but it can confuse many sorting algorithms.
This has always been an issue with sorting float arrays that contain NaN in C or C++ (e.g. with std::sort() with the default "<" comparator.)
I created a Chrome extension which shows cryptocurrency prices & insights when you hover cash tags on Twitter. I'm a product manager with solid CS understanding, but haven't had the time to learn React or glue frontend stuff together - so about 80% of the code is generated by GPT4. I've mainly architected the code and deployed on Vercel. I feel like AI + Vercel has given me that final push to actually deploy products instead of just building stuff and leave it lying around.
Do you not find them too wide? I found that I just ended up moving things to the center screen and ignoring things at the sides
> I guess you would also worry if a customer's behavior forestalls other customers' spending. Like if you have 50% off on bacon but you forgot to set a maximum amount of units, then one customer comes along and buys up the entire supply.

Even that's not really the end of the world. Okay, so you've lost a higher margin sale from the customer who wouldn't have had a coupon, but you've still managed to clear out your stock of nearly expired bacon, and the other customer is still standing in your store looking for some breakfast food and might just buy some breakfast sausages instead, or come back and buy their bacon next week.

You might have done better to do things differently, but only a little bit, which is probably true of every reasonable decision anyone has ever made about anything. And maybe you wouldn't -- maybe a purchase limit would have meant you didn't sell out on nearly expired bacon and would have had to throw it out. Sometimes there's no way to know for sure what would have happened in the alternative and you're just happy if you're making money.
That deceiving people is an effective tool for police.

Probably most popular thing they built was FluxCD if you are confused where you have heard their name before.

Their company provided a ton of extra tooling and consulting around the product. Hopefully as FluxCD user, this doesn't impact the development of Flux.

I wasn't suggesting that families would move, just that they would select lower-intensity schools that they currently have access to. For example, families in Menlo Park can send their kids to high school in Atherton, Redwood City, or San Carlos. If they can get an edge by sending their kid to a school in RWC, where they'll be at the top of the class, and apparently get a boost when colleges weight their SAT, I wouldn't be surprised if some families started choosing this path.
>We'd additionally need a standard similar to what Germany and Croatia have done that allows a person to use their computer or phone as an NFC reader "proxy" to create a digital signature against a service-provided challenge that can then be traced back to the government's PKI.

Why bother with NFC if the phone itself has secure enclave and a biometry check to lock it down too?

And the best part of course, the federal government of US doesn't just have a standard, but actively uses all that for quite some time, just explicitly without NFC.
Did you read on? You may have put as much effort into understanding what I wrote as you put in the reply. Do you genuinely think the answer is "no" just for that first example or that's just where you stopped reading because you knew better anyway?

I'll spare you the additional effort. The answer is actually "no" for every single one on that list. None of those wars were/are just but that never stopped any of the aggressors from painting themselves as defenders of some fair and just ideal.
I've found that there is a natural cycle to it:

1. Start a job, and be swamped with learning it, getting better at it. No time (or reason) to focus on anything else.

2. Job learning is done, you are cruising at your work, if not coasting, and you enjoy some time living a decent balance.

3. You get bored, but can do your job just fine at 50%, so you then spend a couple hours a day learning something new.

4. You've learned something new and can start looking for a new job. (Maybe externally, maybe a promotion or lateral move at your current gig.)

That cycle takes a couple years to play out. You are a couple months into it. Give it time.
Wouldn't it be the canary in the corporate coal mine rather than the government coal mine? The corporation screwed up; the government is making them fix it, at an extreme level of completeness and correctness.
You'd be surprised at how hard it is for YC companies to get follow up investment, even with the YC stamp.

I think YC tells that to their startups because they believe it. YC has always been about elevating founders and making "start my own business" a viable alternative to "get a high paying job". And from day one their motto was "make something people want". And when you exit they give you a shirt that says, "I made something people want".

They've always been product over everything else.

>I don't think you realize you're arguing against all laws here?

How does the relative concept of "less demand begs less supply" translate into an absolutist eradication argument in your mind?

Ignoring you moving the goalpost from a conversation about law enforcement personnel to a conversation about the legal code. See next.

How does a comment on law enforcement personnel supply (ie: the enforcement part of law enforcement) logically migrate to a comment on the legal code's existence?

I made no such argument. I made a rhetorical point that meant to imply that law enforcement personnel supply (relative ability to enforce the law in any given area), and their techniques, are the outcome of criminality.

Given that LE lying to suspects is not "misbehavior" but a standard investigative technique that falls comfortably within a just legal system.

All evidence has to be disclosed. There are already justifiably harsh laws against falsifying evidence for the purpose of charging suspects.

Suspects have the right to shut up and to an attorney, both of which will fully protect them from being coerced into giving false confessions.

Maybe the goals of founders and of VCs are sometimes misaligned. If founders start with the idea of working super hard for a few years (counted on the fingers of one or at most two hands), get an exit and retire, then why build a product that outlasts the end of venture capital? They could just try the VC roulette pivot after pivot and hopefully win an exit. This is not necessarily what happens in reality, hence some VC's focus on solid products, but it's a tempting, possibly naive, idea.
They link there a posting that does not explain properly why such comparison functions are buggy: "subtraction is not comparison".

In fact comparison is really just subtraction where the result is ignored, only the condition flags are updated in the same way as by any other subtraction.

The difference is elsewhere. In machine language, after either an integer subtraction or an integer comparison, the relationship between the operands is not tested by using the sign of the result.

It is tested instead by using the true sign of the result, which is computed by the addition modulo 2 (a.k.a. XOR) between the sign of the result and the overflow flag.

In the currently popular high-level programming languages it is no longer possible to access the overflow flag. (In many early programming languages there were available facilities like "on overflow do ...".) Had this been possible, the qsort comparison function could have been implemented as a subtraction, with the result conditionally corrected in case of overflow.

Therefore in languages like C and derivatives one must always use the relational operators ">", "<", ">=" and "<=", because these are implemented by the compiler using conditional instructions that test the true sign computed with the overflow flag, after the subtraction of the operands.
My grandparents carried some anti-German sentiments 70 years after the war ended. Maybe you are able to switch your opinions that quickly, most people can't.

The fact is we (you and I) don't know what the Android phone's behavior is when plugged in 24/7 (note the author is a community mod for an Android-compatible OS). The UI can/does lie, and it's probably different from model to model, so at best we can say we're not sure if he's right or not. Technically using DC power instead of battery is best for battery health (dis/charge cycles are worse for battery health) but like I said before, it's just a snarky suggestion on his part.
Very cool, I signed up. I agree that practicing a coding interview is better under pressure. It's a much difference skill to solve a coding problem both under time pressure and pressure to speak your thoughts to entertain the interviewer. Only practice can help improve that skill.

funny. good chunk of cnn reporting is "we strongly imply that israel performs war crimes/genocide but we won't say it", intermixed with "experts" who keep on going for a few minutes about israel doing war crimes/genocide/etc uninterrupted.

not sure how is this pro-israel slant
If you walk on your own, or stay in on your own, then you won't meet people. To find someone you need to interact with people.

If you walk and walk and walk on your own, that's not going to help you meet people. I don't know where you are or what is around you, but is there a walking club? Is there a bridge club? is there a tennis club? Football?

It's almost axiomatic that if you want to met a SO then you need to meet people, so you need to find local clubs or societies that you can join.

Does your local library have a bulletin board with listings of clubs in the area?

Clearly it won't be easy because you haven't done it yet, but if you don't make the effort to find some way to interact with people, then you won't meet people, so you won't meet a (potential) SO.
So, how did the other person find out about it?
I'm biased, but it is really interesting to hear VCs addressing this topic in the first place. Feels like something changed from the nascent Web 2.0 days where it's presumed every startup needs lots of capital to scale.
No, the legality of whether a law enforcement officer can "commit" a crime is based completely on statute.

Many statutes include exemptions for law enforcement. If there is no exemption, then it is a crime for the cops, the same as the public.

e.g. https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/documents/072000050K21...

"(d) This Section does not prevent any lawfully authorized investigative, law enforcement, protective, or intelligence gathering employee or agent of the State or federal government from operating any audiovisual recording device in any facility where a motion picture is being exhibited as part of lawfully authorized investigative, protective, law enforcement, or intelligence gathering activities."

You can't really enforce permissions in the absence of good sandboxing. And you can't really enforce permission without app review either, for a variety of social reasons (network effect, breaking unrelated functionality or outright refusing to work unless you give them location permissions, whatever). Which is the problem with the "just allow sideloading, bing bong so simple" crowd's argument, there already is ample evidence that plenty of apps have enough leverage to successfully extort the user.
I do agree. The package registry (https://packages.atopile.io) is an attempt at importing from existing GitHub/GitLab ato projects. This will need quite a bit more polish until it gets to the level Rust's crates.io or python's pypi.org

On the language side there are additional features we would like to work on like traits and types (types would include diff pairs and impedance).
That example is pretty bunk. I've literally been that person talking to the police after a traffic accident dozens of times. They have never asked for an ID, 90% of the time they don't even ask for your name, and maybe 50% of the time they ask for a phone number (they have never called back).

There are absolutely police officers who are lazy or will power trip or love busting perps. But each officer is not starting dozens of investigations every day. Especially the beat cops you are most likely to run into.

One underutilized strategy for media consumption is literally just buying what you want on eBay. You can get Blu-Rays for nearly any film >7-8 years old for just a few dollars! Any time I think of a film I want to add to my "watch list" I pull it up on eBay and if the price is right I buy it then and there. Now I have a huge backlog of unwatched film/TV that I can pull up at any time.

This puts the power back into your own hands; Blu-Rays are likely to work for a very long time and your discs won't magically disappear from your personal catalogue. You lock-in on the price at purchase, and it never increases over time. And, in my own subjective opinion, the image quality of Blu-Ray video often exceeds whatever streaming-optimized encoding format is used by the online services.

Finally, 90% of the time I check only eBay instead of shopping multiple platforms. The remaining 10% I go to Amazon and if I don't find the right price there than I just shrug: there's plenty of other cinema to watch and there's rarely any single film that I simply can't do without.

Is a cop that pulls you over for what looks like a traffic violation trying to get you to make an incriminating statement (I have no idea, I'm just asking. No agenda)?

In the few situations where I was pulled over for speeding, I asked the cop to show me the reading and also whether the device was calibrated in the past few years, and they've always obliged (after answering "I know how fast I was going" and "I think the speed limit is...". If they have a calibrated device and they show me the reading, I'm not really sure how my answers to those questions affects the decision tree.

What you want to do is avoid creating an unnecessary confrontation by acting adversarial.
To me... business is about the market sector size, product/service viability, and profit model.

The fact is liabilities come in many forms, and small mistakes may cast a long shadow if you are a startup.

I don't think it makes me a moron to recognize that Tesla has attracted a disproportionate number of enthusiasts who believe so strongly in the company and it's technology that they'll do dumb shit like turn on AP and then go to the back seat of the car.

Besides, I wasn't insulting everyone who has a Tesla. I called out the fans specifically. Tesla has sold millions of cars, at this point most are not driven by fans.
At my company we had a competitor scrape our API for various businesses. One of the fields was an bson ObjectId that represented when the customer entered our system. This unique identifier encodes a timestamp of its creation.

Our competitor was able to ascertain, based on that timestamp, when our customers contract was up and was (briefly) able to poach some customers by underbidding us until we corrected this.
Because I always used to be self-conscious about the typing sounds in-lecture, I used to take hand-notes in class and then immediately after TeX them. While that had the happy accident of reinforcing the class notes, I find that having notes that are easily referenced and, in particular, CTRL+F'able was critical for exam prep.

IMO the point of stopping police from lying shouldnt be to prosecute the police (as perjury is already illegal), but rather, to indemnify the person who was lied to for actions they took under false pretenses. So, if the police lie to you and say "we have you on camera at the 7/11" and as a result you say "I dont really recall..maybe I got a soda from there and dont remember?" that second statement shouldnt be used against you if they dont actually have you on camera whereas today that statement would be used to show that you couldve been there (because you said so yourself). This is easy to demonstrate in court and consequently toss out that secondary statement which would otherwise be evidence.
Dartmouth actually has a pretty unique program that allowed them to increase enrollment substantially. Basically, every sophomore stays around for the summer semester, but takes off either fall or spring to do an internship or something. The sophomore summer is a great bonding experience for the students, and the program allows the school to enroll significantly more students than they would be able to house otherwise. To my knowledge, no other similar school has a program like this.
