Europe has been sinking relatively to the US for a long time. Europe stalled when the global financial crisis hit in 2008 and never recovered. GDP of Eurozone was about the same as the US's in 2008, now the US's is almost double the Eurozone's.
Which things? Based on what data? You're asking for data to substantiate your statement -- maybe first have the data?
Yes that is true. I am very good at tolerating very high heat. But like you said, past the bulb temperature nothing can save you if you don't have something colder to exchang heat with.
Qt is a popular choice. And as a user, apps made with Qt are pleasant to use.
It almost got there... It should use Begin and End instead. It could then be called PaYthon.

Seriously, let's just prohibit any of the tab characters(^I,^K,^L) in source code.
I don't understand why everyone is surprised to find, in a tech that digests vast quantities of human-produced text for pattern extraction and generation, some underlying behaviours of said humans.

Yes, some humans are racist, sexist, or have cultural biases others would not comprehend. The tech is just a parrot on steroids repeating grandma's rude words to the kids. Blaming the tech (or its directors) is a convenient way to avoid looking in the mirror.
There's many definitions of "better movie". Being easier to watch is conceivably one of them.
Thanks for providing your perspective - Why don't we hear about these as often? Is there tech to avoid these air pockets? Was there some kind of negligence involved or should I be more cautious on planes about leaving my loose belongings lying around?
Seems like all this should be stored in various national libraries and archives where ever the publisher is incorporate or where the university/institution or author residences.
The article says it was a technical problem. The pilot said he lost instrumentation.
if __name__ == "__main__" {
print_message(10);
}

This just looks wrong without parenthesis around the conditional statement.
Is there an employee number range for a corporation when it transitions from "humans working together" to "machine that transforms human beings into resources" ?
"In recent weeks, more than 600 Google workers signed a letter addressed to leadership asking that the company ..."

Old twitter post acquisition would have terminated those 600 employees, too?

I hope "west" society isn't demanding either obedience or cancelling your ideas. That much happens in Venezuela.

It would be morally correct to allow a little leeway for expressing a shared opinion, then call for order, and remind collaborators to follow proper channels to "continue discussion". And, of course, not shutting down nor ignore such continued discussion.

TLDR: Google is evil all the way down.
Being able to copy-paste code with every editor and not ending up with broken code is a real time saver.
The people who complain about others seeing FOSS as a freebie often say the "free loaders" don't contribute back. When they do contribute, the goalposts get moved.
What day to day problems do people have that require parallel processing to solve anyway? Sure graphics and neural networks, but is having a neural network the end problem that needs solving? Maybe I'm just a grumpy old programmer but I believe the human mind is specialised to think in terms of serial solutions. I think that's no accident as race conditions and other synchronization issues are difficult to avoid in parallel algorithms. That may be a fundamental property of processing in general, even for algorithms some AI may come up with, which remains mostly fictional at this point.
Agreed with this essay, and I think it rhymes with two others that I've found pretty influential over the past five years:

1. Parse, don't validate (https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/05/parse-don-t-va...)

2. Pipeline-oriented programming (https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/pipeline/)

In my experience, the "best" code (defining "best" as some abstract melange of "easy to reason about", "easy to modify", "easy to compose", and "easy to test") ends up following the characteristics outlined by the sum of these three essays — strictly and rigorously elevating exceptions/failures/nulls to first-class types and then pushing them as high in the stack as possible so callers _must_ deal with them.
Not everthing that can return null is a maybe function, sometimes you need a difference between zero and nothing.

Solution3 for their example:

function maybeRenderBestFriends() {
const user = maybeGetUser();
if(user!=null){
const friends = maybeGetFriends(user);
const bestFriends = maybeFilterBestFriends(friends);
return render(bestFriends);
}
return null;
}
This [1] makes me think gobpf uses C bindings to bcc, so golang does not compile to eBPF, bcc does.

What's the advantage of the Monad approach? Doesn't the render function still have to check whether those Maybes contain values or not?
If this says much of anything (which it probably doesn't), it's probably more about the efficacy of anti-racism training.
Even Nolan's worst movies are impressive. That's kind of his genius. He could make a flight to Cincinnati awe-inspiring.
This unironically makes Python seem more cosy to me. It just feels better. My unpopular opinion, anyway.
You make the likely hood of it saying something racist lower?
What I don't get is why people are not using seatbelts. The only time I'm not using it is when I'm on the way to and from the bathroom. If I'm seated I'm using the seatbelt.
Inflation is a real factor but you are leaving out rereleases and more time to make money.

Semi OT, but … wow. This is weird. As someone that never saw the movie, I didn’t know RDJ was in it. He wasn’t in the trailers I saw, at least not prominently:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uYPbbksJxIg

and yet now, everyone is talking about his role therein.
It is scary - but I suspect the headline temperatures/humidity aren't the only story. We can build passive structures to regulate peak temperatures - caves and windowless insulated boxes with high thermal mass, for instance. As long as the average temperatures (day and night) over a few days or a week are survivable, active cooling isn't strictly necessary.
This is a nice read and an interesting concept.

I'm also sure that improving an LLM with some extra sauce that doesn't rely on token generation and making it better at handling such tasks as playing Doom is the next step.

With LLMs we've built a better "language" brain than a human, now we need to build and research all the rest.

Just pumping more money in LLMs will yield low returns, but it's the hype of the moment, can't wait until it crashes so we are back to real science.
It makes me wonder, what was the point of introducing Rust into the kernel when they already have eBPF?

Couldn't they have just used the existing eBPF compiler for creating safe kernel code?

Maybe the distant future of the Linux kernel is for almost everything to compile down to eBPF bytecode except the part that runs the bytecode.
I think that's true for checked exceptions; in Typescript, I'd rather see that a function may return a null, rather than get surprised by a possible exception that's not telegraphed.
You do have another solution that can lower the amount of conditions: Null Objects. These don’t fit every use cases, but they can allow you to express what’s missing, or not defined, or empty, and avoid nil pointers dereference or conditions to check the state.

KDEConnect does not implement what I've said
> Here’s a specific example, it’s a “maybe” function as it only returns the friends of a user, if the user is logged in. Basically it introduces a possible return null.

function maybeGetUser(): User | null {
if (!loggedIn) {
return null;
}
return fetchUser();
}

I believe this is an error. The code sample I took from the article is about getting a user, not the user's friends.

Since that function will return a list, an empty List might work.
I just figured that Aldous Harding - The Barrel broke it :/
Tbh. after the recent sets of Microsoft ToS/Privacy Terms I would argue _any usage of Microsoft Windows and/or most Microsoft products_ is not legally possible in a public office handling any private or otherwise sensitive data.

...

I mean they might have different ToS/Privacy Terms, but I it would still be high risk due to MS track record of "accidentally" undoing or ignoring various "I don't want to be tracked" choices.

Like tbh. from a privacy POV MS has become a joke, I mean how hard do you have to mess up that google is preferable bay a not so small margin.
Could this be accounted for by tech giants in the US?
Program logic fundamentally has to contend with different conditions.
Sometimes the user will be logged in and have friends, sometimes they won't.

The "maybe" style has the inconsistency embedded in the type system; it's
impossible to have an invocation to getFriends and then not handle the
resulting possibility of not being logged in.

Shifting it up to the caller just means that you're going to have to remember
to ensure the user is logged in before calling getFriends otherwise you'll get
some kind of error, which might give you more control, but now there's no
guarantee in the type system that you've handled the case where the user isn't
logged in.

Writing ifs everywhere to handle failure conditions might be a bit of a pain,
but that's more of a failing of the language than the style.
In pascal you can call function that has no arguments without parentheses: writeln;

if x = 5 then writeln;
I think you're absolutely right. See e.g. Japan's position. No way that is accurate for the average worker.
This is typical for the popular "bias" literature. They check whether an LLM makes certain associations, without checking whether those may be accurate. E.g.

> Unfortunately, they also found bias when asking the LLMs to describe what type of work the authors of the two types of papers might do for a living.

People with bad English likely have lower paying jobs. That's not a "bias", that's correct statistical inference. To call such inferences "racism", without checking their correctness, is irresponsible activism.
You're taking a thousand centuries of reading material to train the AI in the first place, and that includes Reddit comments... How can you possibly expect that NOT to leak through?

I will try this, as I'm always looking for a good git client comparable to magit that I can recommend to non-Emacs users. But I doubt it will be comparable to magit. I started to think about making a TUI client myself, but I very quickly realised a big part of what makes magit good is that it's in Emacs. There are so many points where you need to enter/edit/select text etc. To get the power of magit you'd also need to reimplement Emacs.
Won't share to and from a Linux desktop though.

Part of it is that Hollywood has gotten worse, but another part of it is that our other mindless entertainment options have gotten better. 30 years ago, if you didn't want to go to the movies, you had what, TV? Books? Now you have TikTok, Instagram, Fortnight, Reddit. There's a larger and more powerful set of forces competing for the same limited hours in a day.
This seems to be attributed to a technical problem and not turbulence so far. Probably should be a bit skeptical about any explanation this early, but I'm wondering which systems would be powerful enough to cause something like this.

For example, would a pilot be able to manually fly the airplane and cause this kind of incident? Or would the control surfaces of the plane be able to cause this assuming that any safety limits that restrict movement were not working?
Shame it is only PCI-e Gen 4.
I think the flaw here is you don't form your success or failure of adoption based on if you can convince the skeptics.

Thinking everyone can be brought to your side with reason is not a logical assumption. Some people no matter how strong an argument will not want to do something no matter the level of evidence or reasoning. Be it their faith or stubbornness and we need to be ok with that.

jailing them, excluding them from society, or forcing them from their jobs to provide to their famalies is how you get people to side with skeptics and does the opposite effect
Offer to relocate the employee first?

>"Staging a protest on a keynote sounds like a good reason to end it."

Google had shutdown the private forum without a proper discussion. Remind employees they can work in other areas?

Going tangent: What if they were denouncing racism? Would it still be correct to fire them immediately? What about alleged genocide?
I've been using `gitui` after lazygit was getting a bit slow with larger repo histories. Its been really solid. The naming on this cargo almost made me mistake it.

Just my opinion but maybe a more unique name would help ?
There is nothing wrong with properly indenting code. The lack of {} makes python very ugly when things no longer fit on one line. Because Python has an opinion about whitespace there are certain ways one can break a line an other ways one cannot. The result looks very ugly. Maybe the old way of using a backslash was not the worst, but linters nowadays don't like that anymore. Also having : also does not make things look better. Python must be one of the most ugly looking languages out there.
That's very interesting!

I have my copy of "Practice of Programming" about to be delivered. Is your regex implementation available somewhere?
I think it's the point where it stops being a cooperative venture and turns into a managed one.

That point is different for every company, but if you've worked at a startup that grew enough, you have definitely experienced the changeover.
I am for exceptions but it should not be used for basic control flow. Many techs will treat all exceptions as errors.
Amazingly, Scala has recently adopted significant whitespace [1], and is moving in the opposite direction.

If you can call 2021 recent, that is.

Did Netflix release anything in 2023 that should have won an Oscar?
Setting aside whether "easier to watch" is somehow beneath an HN reader, your parent said "more entertaining" not easier to watch. The primary goal of the movie industry is obviously to entertain.

(Well, the primary goal is to make money, but they do that by entertaining people.)
I think if the ai were a free agent or something nobody would have an issue, but “the ai” isn’t really the best way to summarize the thing learning. It’s just a tool or service offered by a corporation which said corporation solely profits from.

YourOS: The Life Management System Built for Obsidian.md and Notion
One System to rule them all? Introducing YourOS! The Life Management System built for Obsidian.md and Notion (integrating Well-being and Financial analytics)

Hello there,
After months of work, I am delighted to launch YourOS.

YourOS was born out of a real need I was experiencing two years ago. I could not find a structured framework to help me reflect on and holistically manage my life (including well-being and financial data).

I wanted the system to be flexible, free, and future-proof.

Having product management, data science and digital health skills in my background I decided to build it. As it changed my life and today I am happy to share the system with you.

YourOS lets individuals to:
- Monitor their Well-being (and habits) via a 30-second daily questionnaire structured into six wellness areas - works also on Obsidian/Notion
- Extend the concept of the Second Brain to include well-being and financial data on top of a periodic journal, project, and task manager - Obsidian Only
- Smooth Financial Management (also linked with stocks) - works also on Obsidian/Notion

YourOS relies on Google Looker to Manage the well-being and financial data, and Obsidian.md for the second brain.

YourOS is the result of months of work and is available for free at https://www.youros.me/
Demo Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAozn5OvY5k
Please support the project by upvoting it on ProductHunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/youros) and following the official YourOS Twitter Page (https://twitter.com/YourOS_me).

English spelling is not phonetic. You use one of a few canons. "Cause" is a canonical spelling. "cus" is not. There isn't a Black spelling canon. Your phone does not offer it. Nowhere is the correct spelling "cus". It isn't Black spelling. All English speakers have unique accents and pronunciations, but do not transcribe them. They spell with a particular canon. I am prepared to defend this point to the end.

The model, given incorrect spellings, infers the writer is dumber than a person who can spell.

We can frame the paper as a syllogism.

1. The model judges people who can't spell.

2. Black people, allegedly, in 2024, with autocorrect on their phones, can't spell as well as my six year old can with a crayon.

3. Therefore, the model is racist.

What do I do with this?
It's very easy to get to slightly below 0g by just pushing on the stick or yoke, and that would be enough to cause what the passengers describe here. You could even get well below 0g. Almost all turbulence of the sort that you can experience in flight are not even 10% of the durability limits of the airframe.

EDIT: I was also thinking about "well why should the airplane allow the pilot for such movements then?". And I think a good analogy is the brakes in your car - they do allow for maximum breaking, yet when was the last time you actually pushed it to the max?

(And note that this is 100% speculation, I just wanted to highlight that the pilot can cause such negative acceleration on their own)
After the recent incidents, I’d love to see zip line style safety lines in planes. When you get up to use the lavatory, you’d connect your carabiner to the aisle ceiling and floor lines to keep you level in case of a sudden movement.
Right, somewhere in my past I got the impression that the original reason (before it became fashionable) for why manufacturers started pre-washing jeans was to stop the problem of indigo rubbing off onto furniture, chair seats etc. I recall when I was a kid before the pre-washing era started that the labels on some jeans advised that (a) jeans are to be washed before wearing and (b) they could shrink up to 5% after washing (i.e. buy a sloppy fit).

My mother insisted that jeans be washed first as she warned that I'd be in dead trouble if I got blue patches on her light beige lounge suite. This was a bit of a ritual, blue jeans first had to be washed and then only worn outside until the second wash, brown and black jeans only had to be washed once!

Re indigo fading, even now jeans manufacturers advise not to wash denim until really necessary so as to develop one's own characteristic fade marks. My point about very black materials and pigments was broader than just the hakama, materials such as black felt hats, women's dead-black shawls, and men's monkey suits, black parchment paper, etc. These are as black as the current technology permits—whatever it is.
I am not the OP but I can hazard a guess.

"Nordic" has multiple meanings. One is "of the Nordic countries", which are the sovereign states of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden; the autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland; and the autonomous region of Åland, plus a handful of other Norwegian areas.

Some also include Estonia (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_identity_in_Estonia).

"Nordic" can also mean more specifically "Scandinavian", for example, the North Germanic languages are also referred to as the Nordic languages, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_folklore says "Nordic folklore" is "the folklore of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and the Faroe Islands", which you'll see does not list Finland or Greenland.

And if you look more closely, you'll see it's not actually "the folklore of Sweden" but "the folklore of ethnic Swedes", since Nordic folklore does not typically include Sámi folklore. There's also a long history of discrimination against the Sámi.

Taking it about 10 steps more extreme, Nordicism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordicism) used race psuedoscience to characterize the Nordic peoples as the most superior Aryans, and the master race. Finns were not seen as part of the Nordic race, but members of, for examples, the East Baltic or Mongolian races. In the US, Finns were sometimes not seen as white Europeans but as Asians, and thus justifying discrimination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_whiteness_in_th...

Thus, when someone says "Nordic", do they mean the inclusive version which includes the Uralic Finns and Sámi? Or do they mostly mean the Scandinavian parts of the Nordic countries, with the Uralic and Greenlandic inhabitants as afterthoughts or even forgotten? Even if they mean the former, it can carry with it the exclusion of the latter.

The linked-to Nordic Names site includes Sámi, Finnish, and Greenlandic names, so it's more into the inclusive category.
