That analogy doesn't make sense to me. Apple isn't pulling the iPhone from the market, they're breaking iPhones that were already sold. The equivalent would be if you said you couldn't sell green aquarium lights anymore, and aquarium light vendors turned all the green aquariums off remotely.
> responds to all HTTP requests with 404 instead of letting it hang on an infinite loop or crash

How is a 404 equivalent to not throwing an error? 404 would be like throwing the error and then not handling the 404.

And the equivalent of hanging and crashing in the xbox example would be hanging and crashing.

Incident reviews: Looking beyond the root cause
After reading this article this morning I went down a very fun rabbit hole today: removed my SBCL installation, installed Roswell to install SBCL again, etc.

The good things: editing works, slime works, access to all my Quicklisp based libraries and projects. The bad things mostly involve limited Lem functionality because I rely on many eLisp libraries like treemacs, etc.

I really like the speed, and having everything in Common Lisp is fun. I was using Roswell to build Lem from source, and I really liked the project’s setup, build process.

Yep, age 7 and 11 were peak bullying ages. Verbal and physical abuse, scapegoating. Ignored and blamed by administration. Parents from an era where “boys will be boys”.

Now: Homeless and broke. Out of work for a long time. I let people shit all over me, even in adulthood.

I was told that adulthood would be different. In fact, it was the same as childhood, but more insidious.

I pray for death being unable to commit suicide. Failed attempts. I don’t want any help. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up.

Related: is it weird that the identity of my childhood bully ostensibly exists on some dossier in possession by a big tech company, and has been used as part of a demoralization campaign? How would I even know if this had occurred intentionally? Seems to me that the information secrecy and closed source nature of social media big tech firms is ripe for abusing data as part of malicious psychological warfare: bullying on algorithmic steroids. I am quite sure that this has happened to me repeatedly (google, twitter), yet there’s no pathway to inquire, etc. no accountability, no transparency. Unlike other hn users, I don’t have insider friends at those orgs to inquire.

Automated Unit Test Improvement Using Large Language Models at Meta
When has a software productivity tool ever decreased software jobs in aggregate? Every leap in software productivity to date has seen a subsequent increase in aggregate demand for software-related services. Sure, individual positions fade in and out. But overall, tools that improve efficiency and simplify technical tasks have historically led to MORE people working on technical tasks. Not less.

Not the author, but know a little bit about this. You’re describing a payable or receivable, depending on the direction of the funds flow you’re thinking about. You’d have an account for the payable/receivable that should clear. If it doesn’t do that by the expected settlement date, someone or something needs to go look and find out why. The settlement date itself should be predictable based on properties of the submitted transaction and the network/scheme reporting.

> This is something that Elixir nailed. The typical idioms for return types are `{:ok, ok_value} | {:error, error_value}`, for which callers can pattern match against and handle appropriately.

Agree this is a good pattern. Im not categorically against throwing errors but I like returning errors or the result and then having to check at the caller. Do this in typescript a lot.
I've never heard of this practice and spent a lot of time around military personnel. I was familiar with "Buy a diving watch. It is more likely to survive the rigors of the field."

Nothing about wearing it "upside down" and not sure I know what that means. Before cell phones became the new standard timepiece, pretty sure I wore my watch on the inside of my wrist and see no reason to think there is a "correct" way for it to face. Back of the wrist or inside of the wrist seems like arbitrary personal preference to me.

The industrial revolution wasn't a leech on resources for little to no value.

> do you really believe that your project is so different that one of the existing approved licenses will not do? (addressed to the hypothetical project with such a license)

Actually, I think it would be pretty easy to have a project for which none of the existing OSI approved licenses will do without even being all that different, ever since OSI approved AGPLv3.

AGPLv3 contains a distribution requirement that triggers for your program if you have users who are "interacting with it remotely through a computer network".

Now all it takes is wanting a license similar to that, but with the trigger being different. Maybe a project agrees with AGPLv3 that if you run their program on your server you should have to give the users source, but wants that to also apply to users who are interacting with it locally on a computer network, or are interacting via some method other than a "computer network" such as serial terminals.
I agree: take the time to learn about state machines.

I remember the first time hearing about them and being totally confused by the wikipedia page. I think the first article that made sense to me was this one, because it used a webapp example: https://www.infoq.com/articles/robust-user-interfaces-with-s...

And then developing a few sample applications, especially with Elm or another language with custom types, really completed my understanding. The diagrams and math notation are more intimidating than the actual code.

S&box has rewritten many parts of the engine in C# at this point. Gets rid of lots of legacy code and makes this easier to change in the future. Using the scripting facilities built into Source 2 would have restricted what could be written in C# and slowed the team down.

If you haven't taken a look at S&box recently it's looking a lot more like Unity now. https://sbox.game/news/scene-system

That’s incorrect: Jury-trial waivers are routinely enforced. (California and Georgia won’t enforce advance jury waivers in state courts, as a matter of state law, not federal-constitutional law.) And there's also a thing called a "confession of judgment," which in effect is a waiver of any trial.

Agreed. I read your original post during a time where I was starting up a solo company and it's great to see you've eventually seen success after all these years! The points you make about which problems seem interesting as an engineer and which ones lead to actual success resonate a lot. Congrats on TinyPilot!
Mainly to pick songs that fit the mood of the audience. At the moment, humans seem to do a better job "reading" the emotions of other humans in this kind of group setting than computers do, and people are willing to pay for experts who have that skill.

An ML model could probably do a good job at selecting tunes of a particular genre that fit into a pre-defined "journey" that the promoter is trying to construct, so I could see a role for "AI DJs" in the future, especially for low budget parties during unpopular timeslots like first day of a festival while people are still arriving and the crew is still setting up. Some of that is already done by just chucking a smart playlist on shuffle. But then you also have up-and-comer or hobbyist DJs who will play for free in those slots, so maybe there's not really a need for a smarter computer to take over the job.

This whole thread started from the question of why a human should do something when a machine can do it better. And the answer is simple: because humans like to do stuff. It is not because humans doing stuff adds some kind of hand-wavey X factor that other humans intrinsically prefer.
I haven't tried them, but I imagine that despite the high resolution, text that is badly aligned (and probably constantly imperceptibly wobbling) strains the eyes.

The software should probably force text to be aligned on whole real pixels, even if that detracts a little from the realism.

And the best would probably be to keep virtual screens completely fixed until you move by a certain, largish degree (as an option).

Then again, maybe this has nothing to do with the straining.
Do you have a source for this? S&box used to use UE4 in the past but as soon as Source 2 became an option immediately jumped ship. There has been a ton of progress since then and I don't see why he would regret switching to Source 2 when no other engine would have made as good of a base for S&box.
When reading about headset experiences, I'd de-weigh any insights that are within 3 months of the first headset purchase. The first few dozen sessions are novel, you get a kick (and social media views) about sharing how completely your life has changed to fit the headset.

More often than not, it's collecting dust on the shelf within a few months. Sort of like an expensive blender you were so excited to get, you imagined making super fruit smoothies every morning. Let's see how AVP fares in this regard.
Why do you think hes not being charged with insurrection?
Really it depends on perspective. The #1 reason I left MacOS after Mojave was the fact that none of the APIs I deployed to were naively available anymore. I had to buy a new computer to get updates for the same software I used before. I waited for Apple to reverse their stance, but it never happened.

It's entirely feasible that most people don't encounter the breakage or even notice it. Developers do though, and the breakage on MacOS is legitimately unprecedented. It's the most prominent example of API decay I've seen in a long time.

Could you elaborate on "demoralization campaign" and the "psychological warfare" happening?
Shrugs. I don't know what you want from me.

There were two links that were posted. The vast majority of Godot devs are well aware of the limitations around web export in Godot 4, and the Godot devs themselves have said that you are better off sticking to Godot 3 if your intent is to release an HTML5 game.

That first link is a collection of web games (ostensibly in Godot). It would therefore be reasonable to assume that most of the developers behind those WEB BASED games were savvy enough to build them in Godot 3.
Demoralization campaign..?
Eh?

For coding you don't need a 2k$ monitor setup, you can get by comfortably on 3-400$.

It's an interesting argument but they are going to need to try a lot harder for it to be a compelling desktop replacement.
They provided data on request. We can never know for sure how much. Another fresh data:

Uh? Islam says nothing about the stock market. Participating in businesses and having shares is completely halal, and encouraged actually. That's the good way of generating long term revenue, as opposed to lending or profiting from interests. The very first Muslims and the prophet himself PBUH were merchants and traders, and business owners.
There's the issue of correlation vs causation here. There is no controlled experiment where children are randomly assigned to control or test group and those in the test group are bullied (that would be unethical).

It's plausible there are many root factors that contribute both to negative life outcomes, and also increase the chance of being bullied. E.g. being disabled, or autistic, or even just ugly. That would cause the correlation mentioned, even if the school bullying itself didn't worsen outcomes.
Trump and Biden's admins are very close together in what their opinions are on China. See Biden maintaining Trump's tariffs, which I remember a lot of Democrats proclaiming would be disastrous for the US economy when it was being instated.

Trump also had no problem saying what his thoughts before, during, and after his presidency, on the topic of China and trade deals. These things are all documented quite well, some are even laws, you may remember some of them, though you might pretend not to.

Tech related, you might pretend not to remember why Hauwei is restricted from use in official capacity (GovTech). You might also pretend not to remember when China was declared a currency manipulator, furthered by even stronger tariffs (what is in place today). Another thing you may pretend not to remember is Trump's admin restricting US firms from investing into Chinese companies.

You might even remember what Trump famously called what sent a lot of the world into a multi-year lockdown.

With history fresh in my own mind, I think that you should be held to the same standard as myself, I think you're dishonest, and I think you revel in it.

I don't necessarily agree. Some have talked about how the weirdness starts to fade after getting into a conversation and focusing on the discussion or collaboration at hand. It seems that once the brain has adjusted a bit, it can start to fill in for the badness somewhat.

The feature clearly has a long way to go before it's good, but I think it's premature to dismiss it. Future iterations will only improve, so if some people are finding some success with it now, that will only grow.
Which case more specifically are you talking about? Again, there are 0 insurrection charges on the table. “Insurrection” is a specific crime mind you - potentially illegal activity surrounding January 6th doesnt mean insurrection.

> Bothe of those are substantially similar to GP's claim of "an attempt to overturn election results."

That’s not the claim im replying to. This is the claim: “incite a rebellion.” If he doesnt mean insurrection then I guess we’re on the same page.
…sigh… No.

Basic physics says otherwise. A commercial bottles washer sterilizes and cleans with water at about 140°F for about 15 minutes. While glass melts (depending on the type) between 2500°F and 3000°F. Then after that the newly formed glass needs to be kept in a annealing oven as it cools slowly from 1000°F to 600°F. the amount of energy needed is several orders of magnitude higher. also this doesn't mention the work needed to grind the glass to be melted, or the cleaning of the glass that still needs to be done so as not to introduce impurities to the glass your making.

> It’s the most straightforward interpretation of the words actually on the page.

That sounds like, everything not expressly allowed is forbidden; Ninth and Tenth Amendments notwithstanding, that doesn't seem like an ideal way to apply rules written more than 200 years ago for a population that was two orders of magnitude smaller than today, with a concomitant increase in the number of commercial- and noncommercial interactions.
This is the obvious issue.

It's reasonable to assume that kids whom are bullied have socially undesirable qualities vis-a-vis kids who are not bullied. Kids with socially undesirable qualities are obviously more likely to become adults with socially undesirable qualities.

There's no reason to think those people wouldn't perform worse when they are literally selected for negative qualities.
I know it says these outcomes are independent of other adverse childhood experiences, but I wonder if it really is as much worse as it feels when the parent responsible for your other ACEs is your childhood bully.
One big problem they had was that the system checked the user’s access permissions on every request. Access control in this application is quite complex, and so the access control code ended up issuing multiple queries and doing a lot of over fetching to do its job. (The classic ORM problem.)

It turned out that this was also happening for all static assets. Oops. And the site is covered in very small images. Double oops.

All told, to load a single page the server was making over 150 sql queries. And because it’s Python, those queries were all issued with blocking code. More than enough to keep the server busy for ages.

The point the critics of this piece seem to be missing is that there is not an exceptional case here that needs an error to be thrown. There are NO printers attached to the device (in this case by definition), and an app should cleanly handle that case, not crash. You wouldn’t throw an exception on a laptop just because it couldn’t reach the printer.
his story serves as a strong deterrent for those who want to quit their jobs at FAAG to do a startup. Financially, it just doesn't make sense. It is only for those who prefers startup lifestyle and are willing to sacrifice potential economic loss for it.
That might have to do with the eye "enlarging" a little to make space for the lenses, or maybe more likely with you learning to "lubricate" the lenses with tearing
