Most countries in South, South East Asia have made exams as a make and break deal for every student. In India, there are so many kids staying away from home in cities which are just exam preparation centres, with routine news of suicides.

Looking back on my life I think we asians have definitely stretched this way too far. Unfortunately, in high & young population countries like ours these exams are perceived as the only non corrupt way of moving out of low income trap. So this will go on :-(
independence is a worthy goal, but we live in the real world and have to get out hands dirty for money if we want to live. it seems Spinoza did just that and it caused him to die too young sadly. yes i also dont understand the reflexive anti independence attitude, but w/e, we can all have opinions.

Chrome too competes with browsers bundled with operating systems (Edge, Safari). It seems to be doing okay, even on desktop.
In theory, yes.

In practice, you could start a Hyundai with an USB key, because the manufacturer did not bother to implement any security measures (it's cheaper that way).

It’s not for production. Ollama’s documentation explicitly warns you not to use the API in production. It’s for messing around and experimenting with LLMs and different models.

If you don’t see the use of it, I recommend you use something else that suits your tastes more.
DHH never suggested to host a static site on a Linux server. He only says that most (database-backed) applications could do without frontend frameworks like React.

The alternative to the „static site React app“ you‘re hosting on S3 would obviously be static HTML.

Astrologically, Gemini is associated with Communication. Specifically social, superficial, quick, back and forth communication. The sign is ruled by Mercury which is associated with Intelligence and being the messenger of the Gods. Mercury is often depicted with winged shoes as the planet itself is the fastest moving planet, orbiting the sun every 88 days. Mercury is considered to be dualistic (The Twins) and also rules the sign of Virgo, an earth sign that is associated with more deep cold analytical categorization.
This only applies to software distributed by your distro. For something as novel as Ollama, I severely doubt it's made it into anything other than the most bleeding edge(Arch and co). You'll have to wait a few years to get it into mainline Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. and of course it will be at a set version.
In a large enough company, the experience will be exactly the same even if you do go to the office. It might take weeks or months before you have a reason to reach out and finally realize that you haven't seen someone around for quite a while. And "large enough" is surprisingly small.

For close colleagues leaving, WFH makes absolutely no difference though. Those you keep track of regardless.
Don’t they have long posts, or Dan Abramov doesn’t talk about the reasons anymore?
I really hope that sudo is going to allow one to capture the output of the thing running in sudo and handle errors better. I recently wrote an installer script in PowerShell and had to go through severe contortions to support privilege elevations for only a minimal part of the script. I needed to use start with runas to relaunch the same script with different options to continue the installation process and there's not much in the way of proper error handling either.
A decade of work experience doesn’t necessarily give them insightful insights. Especially if they don’t even know the core point of the topic at hand.
This is just a natural consequence of WFH. Communications are work tasks are so isolated and transactional, there's no reason termination would be any different.
There must be a Slack API that could be used for this, and written to git periodically as the other post said.

Show HN: Use Gemini and ChatGPT side-by-side
I built this app to compare Gemini vs GPT4 and Gemini is still pretty bad!

Try out the app and let me know what you think.
I have been programming since 2008, but I truly started my professional webdev career in 2014. The company I started at was providing software in a B2B-sector. Very boring, very non-startupy. They were considered innovators for doing webapps and SaaS in a market where everybody was used to win32 UIs made in Delphi or C++. The tech stack my employer used was Java EE, PostgreSQL, with a frontend in EmberJS. The prevailing view at the time was that we knew how to do applications on the backend with MVC, and that 'if we just figured out how to MVC in a JS-framework, everything would be fine'. Some went with Angular, some with EmberJS. Build steps for frontend were in its infancy, we used Gruntfiles to just concat everything together essentially.

When React started to gain traction, everybody scoffed at them. JSX was weird, uni-directional data flow was weird, ES6 classes were weird, too many building steps were weird. But it quickly became clear that this was the way forward. Traditional MVC approaches quickly failed once you got out of the example code and into more complex use cases. Which brings me to my point: React was better IF-AND-ONLY-IF your webapp needed to do more than basic forms.

React was never meant for consumer websites. It was never meant to be the default tool for anything on the web. If you wrote a web application, something complex, something with forms, planboards, custom UI, then yeah, it would be a sensible choice. It was meant to solve the problem that doing two-way binding of data is incredibly difficult if you have anything more than some standard form components.

The reality of the situation is that innovation in frontend websites (as opposed to webapps) has mostly been standing still, as everybody just switched to using React. CSS has gotten much better, but doing something like a form rendered with PHP + some validation with JS is still a pretty painful experience. HTMX is probably the best attempt I've seen, along with Elixir and the Phoenix LiveViews.

Most of the effort seems to go into writing a bunch of libraries for React to solve the complexities of having to deal with a complex set of tools for writing complex webapplications. These abstractions tend to either be complex themselves, or are leaky.

I realize my next sentence might as well be 'get off my lawn', but I really hope that devs stop focussing on writing the next state management framework, or routing library, or even rewriting existing things, and just try something to actually move dev forward. Open source a kit of sensible standard components including styling for webapps. Write a simple JS tool for some form validation. Show your barebones NodeJS app rendering HTML and processing forms in an PHP-esque way, give it a logo and a fancy name, chuck it up on GitHub. Don't try and combat complexity with more complexity. We have all the tools we need to write complex webapps. Please make simple websites easier, so people can stop complaining about the complexity of the complex tools meant for complex use cases that they don't need for their simple case.

The real question is, where will incidents be reported to if you're not in the sudoers file?
It's a nice series of stories, although I feel like they do go a bit off the deep end in some of the later installments - but the premise is very fun.
There is definitely a storyline going on if follow the cutscenes and pay attention to the map. Ever in the earliest seasons they were doing map-based story telling. For example, trucks showed up and started moving shards to one of the towns on the coast. Random updates would move the trucks. Many plot elements develop this way over time.

The core plot is asking "Why are we stuck in this loop?" It does get convoluted, but it's there.

Various agencies are involved, the Zero Point (which causes the looping behavior) has manifested as many things over the seasons. Aliens and inter dimensional being seek after it.

Maybe you had to be there, but the first batch of seasons and even chapter 2 had many online theorizing and trying to guess what's next.

It's like a digital Lost.

At the very least I would also accept a DRM free copy being provided to everyone who had purchased it (e.g. at least one year or so to download it), and in failure to do that it becomes public domain. Anything less and we basically just end up with the classic xkcd situation https://xkcd.com/488/

Is it just me? An ad for the "new" service when I might miss the old one, rubs me the wrong way.
The new Next has jumped the shark. I wish there was a good alternative right now. I feel like they’re building for FE devs who are scared to learn BE dev.
It makes no sense anyway. Burglars don't use lockpics. They don't care about doing damage and do care about speed so they just use a crowbar which even doubles as a weapon if someone's home.

Banning lockpics is just security theater and does nothing to reduce burglaries.

Bump keys are also much more effective by the way. And look like normal keys to the uninitiated.
We use it in our research group to run the largest LLMs quickly on a descent server. However, the people with the latest MacBooks don’t bother and prefer to use their laptops as they are fast enough.

ChatGPT. But open LLMs are cheaper to play with if you already have the hardware. And more aligned to our research values.
Yup. I’m hiring for a mid-level FE role right now, and the number of “React developers” that don’t know JS fundamentals is incomprehensible. I’m not talking about anything esoteric. Just the sorts of things that I as someone that’s far from a JS expert considers necessary to work in that space day to day. I’m more and more just taking it as a given now that someone won’t have much if any experience writing CSS by hand. If they do, never in an actual .css file. Always via some CSS in JS something or other. A strange new world out there.
Sounds like you are the one without any clue, unless you have anything substantial to say.
My org had a big cut last year but nobody would tell us how many people were laid off for some reason.

I happened to remember the total number of people who were in our org’s giant slack channel before the layoffs and thus was able to do some hardcore detective work subtracting the new number of people in the channel from the previous amount to get the answer…

Another vote for Astro.

Honestly, you can use Astro and then still use React if you want. Doing so would be similar to next.js in some ways, though you need to hook up an adapter if you want server-side rendering
Yeah a nice optimization, but is "return c * c;" really a good approximation of sRGB gamma?
The answer to this is SCIM, which allows an app to sync the user state with the identity/directory system.

IT admins call this "User Lifecycle Management" and it's typically a required feature for enterprise-scale customers.

I think Cory Doctorow nailed the formulation here:

Otherwise, if there are no negative consequences for a company deleting everyone's purchases, what will stop them from doing it every year just to boost profits?
Just for comparison my house was built in 1897 and whilst it had a chimney because it used to be heated that way it’s fully hooked up to hot water for heating.
I like React, but I didn’t quite figure out the “additional” ecosystem - what do you use for managing the communication with your backend, for example?
Ha, I did this about 10-15 years ago at a prior company. The turnover was so high (especially in the sales staff) that there would be at least a handful of people mysteriously disappearing each week.

I automated a small newsletter called "The Weekly Diff" for a few close trusted coworkers and sent it out each Friday with a list of who's new and who was missing from the company directory. And I kept a scraped database including phone numbers in case anyone wanted to reach out to anyone after they'd been removed.

Sometimes you make the best out of a failing company culture. Kept a lot of friends that way just by reaching out with some words of support :)

>> you might prefer using contexts to pass these values around

I'm not getting the thrust of this.

So instead of simple, easy to understand messages being sent around we are now talking abstracted functions contained in contexts to send event messages? Sounds unnecessarily complex. May as well implement Redux.

I don't think an EV will replace the GS's capability for decades. I'm much more interested in replacing the capability of my DR-Z400 or WR250.
I am glad they renamed bard to gemini.

Google is a global company a hell of its their users are not native english speakers and for a lot of english speakers like those from say India, they do not know what Bard is. Bard sounds like a LGBTQ hippie with pink hair. Perfectly good name for a beta and experimental product. Not for something mature and major.

Gemini is pretty good though I do not know whether Gem-in-eye or Je-mee-nee is the correct pronunciation. Gemini is a start, constellation and extremely popular word and most people are likely to know it because horoscope.

Messing with bluetooth on an airliner isn't going to do anything at all. If they were attempting to spoof GPS or playing with VHF signals that's another issue but the flipper isn't capable of that.

The TSA also doesn't care, they don't look for, and don't remotely have the training to detect suspicious electronics. Even if they did the flipper looks very innocuous unless you know what it is. You can reliably get much more entertaining things onto airplanes without them batting an eye.
Six months of time and >$1.5m gone from lifetime earnings? Definitely needs clarification from Korean guys, though.
I explained that I preferred not to build and add a React based tool to a profitable Vanilla JS app. The package included dependencies for Postgres. The purpose was to spawn a modal dialog and dispatch requests to the selected service. All of the core functionality could have been provided by a single JSON file describing the possible endpoints. Of course that kind of elegance was nowhere to be found.

The discussion progressed as you'd imagine.

I think Oracle style hints are not a good thing to have - especially because you have to change the query itself which sometimes isn't possible in a production environment. Additionally, for me they quite frequently made things worse after minor Oracle upgrades.

I would prefer having "externally attached" hints for a query (e.g. identified by it's queryid) like Oracle's stored outlines.
While the video at 28:09 asserts "virtually no downsides" to LED bulbs, it overlooks a crucial aspect: light quality.

The quality of light is a critical parameter, typically measured by CRI (Color Rendering Index) or the more comprehensive TM-30 metric. Incandescent bulbs naturally excel in this regard, offering what is often considered 'optimal' light quality. However, replicating this with white LEDs remains a technically complex and costly endeavor.
Hacking is fun but how is this useful?
I think Apple probably already knows what the 2nd or 3rd gen look like mostly now, anyway. They most likely don’t commit to a product line like Vision without a multi year roadmap in place, and have to make a cut line eventually to launch v1 which includes some obvious drawbacks they can improve.

Add on to that, I think they have more of a culture of looking past feedback to figure out the key new tech that’s available now and building towards that, rather than just responding to user feedback directly (though they clearly do that, too).
Watching people’s accounts go into deactivated status in Slack with no goodbye is sad.

The most toxic boss I ever worked for would request access to former employee’s Slack accounts under the guise of looking for data to transition their job. Their accounts would periodically go green when he logged in as them. Spooky to see ex-coworker accounts go green and know the boss is scouring their private messages.

I know companies can get slack messages anyway, but seeing your boss do it in real time is extra creepy.
> their Slack still worked for the 60 day WARN period

So weird companies can’t just pay that out as severance
> Adding a view library is helpful, but with it these days comes state management, routing, graphql, SSR, hot reloading, CSS-in-JS, and just mountains and mountains of related things just to get your app running.

It feels like the author is confused between react (the library) and the its ecosystem. They don't need all those things in order to use React.

- Routing: Not mandatory. You can just use server side routing. You're no longer a SPA in this case, but do you need to be a SPA ?

- SSR: I actually do not understand the new obsession with SSR. If you need SEO, add a static marketing page, that might be enough for a lot of scenarios.

- CSS-in-JS: just write a plain css file and class names

- State management: useState + context API works for a lot of simple apps.

I don't even understand why "hot reloading" is even listed in the complaints. It's a nicety, not a requirement. It's not even "react".
Yeah, which means in the US you can probably get away with it. And fleecing the US market will bring in more profits than you lose to EU lawsuits.

The problem is that the previous consensus was created by corporate centralized media, and in many ways was actually against the interests of most people who accepted it. Now that corporate consensus has fallen apart, so we've got two tribes each focused on the specific ways they were screwed over, with each ascribing the previous state of affairs to the other tribe. In a vacuum their differences could certainly be worked out to support a consensus. But given how well ragebait sensationalism seems to work, and the popularity of feel-good (well, feel-something at least) authoritarian demagogues like Trump, I don't see much hope.
