Isn't this called the Gambler's Fallacy?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_fallacy

Either way, it's interesting he mentions this, since quite a few video games are actively fixing the odds of random events so they do end up working like people might believe under said fallacy. For instance, certain RPGs (like Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft) actually change the odds of getting a rare item if the player fails to get lucky for too long, to the point where eventually they're pretty much guaranteed to get it.

Even if interstellar travel is impractical, an advanced expansionist civ would be interested in building megastructures. And since there is no stealth in space (unless you can somehow mask heat), they should be observable.

Ofc there are explanations for that part of the paradox as well, but the impractical travel theory doesn't cover it.
You don't need to load the entire JSON object as a DOM into RAM just to validate it. Validation can easily be done using a stack and iteration with space complexity being the depth of the JSON (stack) and time being linear to the length of the object.

As I understand it, the US system is pretty poorly set up to deal with things related to the internet, so wire fraud is often the go to. Happens often with hacking as well.
The police are being hacked by the swatters, and not exercising due diligence.

The swatters are taking advantage of the police because it is somehow acceptable for police to show up a a residence in full battle gear, when the resident has no criminal record and there is no known probable cause to use such deadly force.

Swat should be rarely, if ever used. Instead they're used in more than 90% of these cases.

There is literally no downside to the judges who approve these actions, or to the police who conduct them.

I've been working on a framework built on top of Ktor for a while now with the intention of providing SSR capabilities with the HTML and CSS DSL and auto generated bindings to generate JavaScript from Kotlin multiplatform code in order to provide interactivity.

The only stumbling block I've encountered is the hot reloading support, for whatever reason only half the application is reloaded (some classes are and others aren't). This has been enough of an enigma for me to plan a switch to vertx.io.

Massive shame because I think the general Ktor framework is brilliant and I especially appreciate their adoption of the Kotlin Multiplatform.
I will switch to it in a flash if it'll allow creating embedded recovery/par2 records for 7z and zip archives without breaking format compatibility somehow. Otherwise it's just an alternative GUI or things I don't need in practice.
> Everyone knew what the costs were going in.

I disagree. The company that put their infrastructure on AWS may well have made an informed choice. But the third party service hosted in AWS doesn’t have a choice, because AWS would punish their mutual customer with egress fees if the service moved out of AWS.

I think there is prior art that suggests unifying, A), and implementing things on a library level, B), are not always desirable. One example each from C++:

A) Generic algorithms for all containers. This is often touted as a wonderful feature of the standard library. In practice it shifts a lot of complexity into the implementation, that suddenly needs to have 6 different implementations inside the same function, with noticeably different characteristics. And at the end it often still doesn't do the right thing in the domain. For example std::find with std::string is probably not what you want when handling utf-8. Case in point std::string has a bunch of custom find functions. After having used Rust for a while, I find the distinction into type, slice and iter methods, both simpler and more reliable. Even when at a surface level it is less uniform than in C++.

B) std::variant. A lot of optimizations around occupancy holes are left on the table because it's a library level abstraction. And even more impactful are match ergonomics that by design require language level integration.

I'm not sating effect systems are doomed from ever working. Just so far that I've found the most prominent reasons given why a uniform effect system would be desirable, to be not that terribly convincing. Even in places like Koka a language built around that idea. So I fully agree that a "hey it's not worth it" must be a possible outcome, in the following discussions.

GeForce Now is an incredible value for gamers. For $20/mo you get a 4080 streamed from the cloud, 6 hours at a time (and you can just relaunch after that). It has a smallish library, but the games it supports run very well. This first party service is miles ahead of their competitors, many of who also use their cards. Shadow, for example, costs 3x as much for a worse experience.

I don't really understand how they can make the economics of it work. which worries me, especially as their AI work is just printing money. I wonder if it's just a matter of time before they abandon the gaming market.
I think it should. When you do the setup it asks you to unplug and replug the device, and choose it out of the list. So it should trigger the change.

Social justice isn't good because you have as many social justices as there are individuals.

Take for example the aforementioned grandparent: It's justice to redistribute wealth from those above some arbitrary line to those below (grandparent is presumably below it). That's only justice for him, it's bullshit to everyone else.

And you know what happens when differing senses of justice collide? Possibly made worse by fervor? Very Unpleasant Things(tm).

This is why we use legal justice rather than social justice: There is one and only one standard of justice that we all agree to accept after much deliberation.

Why is this the case?

Neither this post nor the linked https://geoffgraham.me/width-looks-outward-height-looks-inwa... explain the rationale for this concept. In this particular case, the difference between the behavior of width and height rules seems arbitrary, rather than logical.
That's actually a point worth discussing. Because here's one thing that should be obvious, but apparently many people are unaware of: if you work for a large, multi-national company, you are almost certainly affected by location-based pay. GitLab is not an outlier here, but well within the norm for a company that has subsidiaries in different countries.

The main difference with GitLab is that a) they are completely remote, b) they are called "GitLab" in every country instead of creating subsidiaries with different names, and c) they have made the "mistake" of making the payment differences entirely transparent. They were absolutely not forced to do that, but they did it nevertheless, and they should be applauded for that.
I've looked at Lego bricks more than I care for and I've noticed similar mismatches over the many years that a particular brick was produced, but they were all still original Lego. It could simply be that at some point a completely new mold was made and it has its markings in a different spot.

Good KVMs, specifically the ones from Level1Tech[1], are smart enough to keep all monitors connected virtually so all your windows stay in place when you switch back and forth between machines. There is no delay of plugging devices in because from the perspective of the client PCs the USB/display port devices were never gone. Of course you can connect a bunch of peripherals to a dock and switch the upstream thunderbolt connection, but that doesn't work correctly.

Crappy KVM solutions are easy. Good ones are hard.

But to actually get a hold of it, you have to learn all the concepts that are listed in the article, otherwise you can get easily frustrated.

Show HN: After 3 months, I'm finally getting some interest from B2B customers
We launched HeyCloud about 3 months ago, and almost immediately got our first beta customers.

However, most customers are individual developers/devops building small cloud infras. 60% of them use it for learning purposes (mainly learning AWS for now).

I always thought HeyCloud is more suitable for B2B customers, with limited devops resources and actual complexity in their infra. This is where I think the most value we can provide is.

It was until recently, last week, that some B2B companies (mid market cos) started subscribing to test it. My guess is they found me via my newsletter https://heycloud.beehiiv.com/

Tbh, I'm still not sure which path to pursue: stick with individual developers, niche down to educational features, or still shooting for b2b customers.

Will write updates here though ...

Listing a set of rules doesn't not "logical" make.

> width looks up the tree while height looks down the tree.

> that’s why height: 100% doesn’t do what people often expect and go the full height of the screen

That's why it's "not logical", even though both sets of rules (W/H look up; W looks up H looks down) can be written down. What's the logic behind the same thing (dimensions) looking at the opposite direction? What is the mental model of the interface world where this makes sense, so that you could use that logic instead of having to rely on remembering the rule that contradicts your intuitive "logic"?
I get what you are trying to say. I'm one of those people who makes that kind of money in a cheap country. I'm just saying its fair from a value delivered perspective. Paying you less doesn't mean the company donates the money saved to a charity. It just goes to the companies balance sheet. I've had plenty of arguments with company exec's about this:

1. its not fair you get to live like a king! -> would you move here to live like "a king"? Oh you don't want to deal with the pollution and the bureaucracy and lack of safety. Ok. Ah so there is a cost I am paying by living in a bad country.

2. paying you SF salaries would be unfair to people living around you -> ok so you would be ok paying that extra amount directly to a charity right? Oh ok you aren't.

I'm saying it's only fair for a employee to think they should be paid proportional to the value delivered. Companies exist to make more money. This causes a clash. In my last company the CEO specifically wouldn't hire staff engineers from cheap countries because he didn't want to give the other engineers the idea that they too can command higher wages.

Just pay people the same amount and let them decide how to live their lives. They are adults.
>Selectors are evaluated by a specificity score.

This is where most of the 'logic' breaks down for me. The specificity scoring is a system of weights that trips up a lot of new front end developers. It's not straightforward. Different selectors have different weights you need to know about. There are 'hacks' you need to know about when you find yourself needing to override particularly heavy selectors. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity

And conveniently the author doesn't mention !important.

I think nowadays I find myself using CSS variables and calc() more often to establish some system of logic in my CSS. I can have --spacing: 120% variable at the root of the tree, and all its descendants can consume that and use calc() to multiply that by a unit value to have consistently scaled spacing. The author doesn't mention this, but it's great!
I used two separate libraries, one to convert the MIDI file into an in memory representation and Vexflow, then a whole pile of glue (not the nicest part of the code) to combine the two.

There are some aspects of that that I want to revisit such as the automatic recognition of decorations (for instance: trills) so that they can be shown properly but these are tricky problems and I want to avoid spending more time on pianojacq.com than on using it.

Lately I've added an ear training module but I'm not completely happy with it yet (hit Bb0 to enable a hidden menu if you want to play around with it).
