I'm honestly split on this. It is obvious that they are not experienced with js ecosystem, but is it fair to frame it as they obviously haven't been burned enough by the ecosystem to internalise the common issues?

Dependency silent upgrades and dependency hell and bloat are not unique to javascript, but it feels like the js community has a perverse fetish for fragile build systems and dependencies.

Ofcourse, the community is not one organised entity and this is merely the result of multiple individual decisions taken independently, but still. I can not help but empathisewith the author despite seeing that they aren't locking deps, not doing reproducible and rollback-capable deployments via docker or artifact tarballs, don't seem to have robust ci, or good work life balance..

Is it elitist to remark "haha, don't you know you should smerp the blergh?"
Is it not atleast somewhat crazy that we normalise rube-goldberg-esque contraptions?

I don't even know what I'm getting at, at this point honestly. Js gives me very mixed feelings. I love the accessibility amd universally available execution runtime (browser), and understand why it hassome of the warts it does, but it is also honestly a scary ecosystem with hyper fragile tooling. I've personally burnt multiple full days on webpack config tweaks and it all feels so unnecessary and pointless.

JS almost gives me existential crisis at times.
KeePassXC added support for passkeys in 2.7.7, released a week ago:

https://keepassxc.org/blog/2024-03-10-2.7.7-released/

This post prompted me to give it a try at webauthn.io.

Passkey support is disabled by default, so you have to enable it in the settings for the browser extension. After that, the UI seems reasonable enough. It creates an entry with a "Passkey" tag, where the Password field is empty, and the credentials are stored as additional attributes on the Advanced tab.

One thing I'm not sure about: although the extension has a setting to fall back to the browser's own passkey support, when I dismissed the KeePassXC prompt, I did not get a prompt from Firefox.
Samsung's SMS and Phone apps also upload user data to some shady data broker. Never buy Samsung. If by any stroke of misfortune you're forced to use it, debloat it as much as possible and use a firewall with internet connection disabled by default.
No way. In my 50s and I don't perceive any loss yet so maybe that's why. Sure, sometimes it takes a few seconds to bring up some random fact. I need to wait for the 'recall relay' to finish in my brain, which must be chemically based because if electrical it would only take a second to remember. Somewhere there's a neuron that 'knows' that answer, probably hundreds of them. Somehow I know that I know it, but I don't know the specifics yet until it presents itself. But to trade an instant recall for lived experience, knowledge, and know-how? Never. Better to know how than what. Better to know why than how. Better to know the map than the road name, every time.
With any luck the endpoint will be a world where texts are evaluated more on their semantics than their syntax.
Water vapor is an extremely powerful greenhouse gas - however, it's presence in the atmosphere is extremely variable and so it's very difficult to measure long-term trends versus just what the weather is doing today. That's why we use CO2 as our climate change marker. CO2 is nowhere near as powerful of a greenhouse gas, but it's stable in the atmosphere for centuries. That makes it easy to track trends, versus today's weather, and you're also tracking a variable that has long-term consequences. For the record, methane is another strong greenhouse gas but like CO2, it's concentration in the atmosphere is highly variable, so we don't tend to track it.
I don't say it has to be isotropic, but observationally it looks very close to isotropic. There are quite clear signals we'd expect to see in the cosmic microwave background if the universe was anisotropic and they aren't there:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07178

This study is (as far as I'm aware) the state of the art on this topic, and based on the CMB observations they use it appears the universe is incredibly close to isotropic. Note that because it is based on CMB data this sort of study is sensitive to what shape the universe was a long time ago when, if it is finite, it was a lot smaller.

I have written Perl solo, and then migrated that Perl into a team setting, and the mindset shift needed is HUGE. I agree with you.

The happy medium is to write your program twice: Write it solo in Perl for rapid thought-to-code, figuring out architectural issues along the way. Then, write it again in Python for scalable collaboration using the revised architecture. This gives you a working solution for the problem FAST and adheres to "Do it, then do it right".

Unfortunately, this doesn't scale to systems. I do hope LLM-driven transmogrification becomes a real thing.

You want the basement floor to be below the frost line, so I'd imagine going north of Maryland (or anywhere with colder winters) would encourage basements at least as deep.

They're making progress. Their last quarter shows them decreasing their loss in net income and at the same time increasing their revenue.

IMO they're a dying company. Selling is a smart move to push their existing customers a cross sale product to close the loss gap. They'll drop 15 to 30% of their staff.

They're not that far from profitability when you realize their staffing cost is high vs the yielding return per employee.

This mirrors my experience - tests working with real software running on real infrastructure uncover real bugs, easier to write and maintain in the long run. You still need unit test to verify edge case such us database going down or throwing a constraint violation.
You'd need a pretty special distro to have enabled -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables by default in its toolchain.

By default on most Linux distros the frame tables are built into all the binaries, and end up in the GNU_EH_FRAME segment, which is always available in any running process. Doesn't sound a broken and disjointed mess to me. Sounds more like a smoothly running solved problem.
Correct. Section 230 is so wildly misunderstood. What it's doing is protecting the owner of a website from being liable for content users post. Without those protections, there would be no comment sections, no sites like FB/IG/Twitter or Hacker News, because absolutely no one is going to take the risk of allowing user-generated content that they are liable for.

The people who rail against Section 230 and "censorship" have it exactly backwards, if they got their way and 230 went away, instead of having specific content removed they wouldn't be able to post anything at all.
I would prefer that they invest in creating a brand new "red alert 3" with the same spirit and vibe as the old ones. Instead of hoping to make money in old pots.

Ask HN: Why does stripe not let you accept crypto payments?
Stripe itself just gives corporate non-speak answers. When I say "accept crypto" I mean if I am on some random website that uses stripe for payments, the ability to select crypto and have it all process inside stripe.

I could understand if stripe was worried about regulations or KYC, but they already do (imo) way more frisky crypto implementations like powering exchanges fiat to crypto. ( see https://stripe.com/use-cases/crypto )

Why not let my users pay in crypto all through the existing stripe interface? Do I really have to go build ANOTHER implementation for bitpay? (Already had to do one for paypal). Stripe is becoming less and less of the "payments for developers" and more and more of the "godaddy walled garden" every year.
It is meaningless to me because the term is imprecise. Is it precise when I do something bone headed and say "sorry I wasn't thinking"? Do cats think? Do worms?

Depends on what you mean by thinking in that particular case.

And, by the way, I think there's no need to be unpleasant to state your point.

Agriculture is responsible for 80% of water use. Because water is not market priced for farmers, farmers use very inefficient surface irrigation, causing 50% of water to vaporise.

Then nobody does anything and wishes the government pays them to switch to more efficient irrigation systems.

Especially the Ethernet-over-UART/SPI/whatever part is quite interesting. It's incredibly obvious in hindsight, but it's of course a great way to create affordable wired IoT devices. You could just talk Ethernet over RS485, and be able to communicate to a bunch of devices with a single $20 translator and a $0.15 transceiver per device!
I'm anti-dogma for everything in software, but I have been using TDD more than 90% of the time for the last 3 years. I think this is rare, and it works mostly because I don't do it the orthodox way most of the time.

I think orthodox unit test driven development works and works really well about 15-20% of the time - under scenarios where you have stateless code, a simple API with simple inputs and simple outputs and some complex logic underneath it. If you're writing something like a parser, this might be all you need.

I use a more unorthodox version of TDD the other 70-80% of the time, constructing what most other people would regard as a combination of a snapshot test and integration test. It's still TDD, but the test might be something like "load web page, enter text in textbox, click button, fix snapshot of the outcome, faking the REST API that gets called". I find this practice to be vanishingly rare, but I also find it pays large dividends.

The orthodox way to do that other 70-80% of code is to create a mess of mock objects. I don't think the people who came up with TDD necessarily intended this (with the exception of uncle bob), but I think it's responsible for most of why it doesn't work for most people most of the time.
Not "reboot". Re-enable the package I had disabled. If I had disconnected the phone from ADB it probably would have been soft-bricked forever.
For Python, gunicorn is suitable for production and development use and has a --reload option to reload on changed files. This functionality is framework-independent.
Well your reply still doesn't explain the administrative (not technical) reason why you had to spend some 36 hours uninterrupted hunting for this bug. Particularly since it was 'a demo' and what broke was 'PDF export', while other exports still worked. Hardly the end of the world if you ask me.

Technically though, I have hardly met this dependency update problem with C++ simply because dependencies are rarely if ever updated. Android on the other hand was a nightmare. I had colleagues quitting in a rage and swearing to never again touch Android in their life. Probably half the effort was spent fixing crap that was broken by updated dependencies. Luckily I'm back to C++ now and hope never again will I have to touch such a crazy system. The whole 'update for the sake of update' seems to be a grave problem of the Android / Kotlin / Javascript universe. The mentality is like 'bread won't be sliced anymore, eggs won't hatch, sun won't rise if we don't absolutely have the latest bleeding edge alpha version of all libraries'.
Much of the US South doesn’t have basements. Maryland is an outlier for climate (colder winters) and demographic (wealthier) reasons.

(Separately, this is one of the great reasons to prefer multi-family constructions, and why US building trends have slowly realigned towards them: you only have to build one basement and electrical/HVAC system for 20 families.)
Isn't that what the tracking stuff is supposed to track? Measure things like how 'annoyed' people get by bounce rate and whatever other relevant metrics.

I propose that a frame pointer daemon be introduced too, for managing the frame pointer signals. We shall modify _start() to open up an io_uring connection to SystemD so that a program may share its .eh_frame data. That way the kernel can still unwind its stack in case apt upgrade changes the elf inode.
Permits and paperwork are probably mostly a time and restrictions on what and where you can build cost rather than a direct monetary cost. But certainly indirectly have a lot of influence on where and how you can build.

There are studies on this, and I see they've been updated a bit. It doesn't seem to replace sleep due to Delta-waves during deep sleep, but can be used over time to maybe reduce the need for sleep. Enough sleep is of course important for clarity of mind and for releasing toxins and stress. In the West we often suffer from chronic sleep-deprivation, so meditation may help in that as well as ensuring enough rest in order to recuperate.

You don't really need studies for this when you can have experiential evidence through own practices, which is much more important for an individual than external studies.
I have tried feeding some of the foundation models obfuscated code from some of the competitions.

People might think that the answers would be in the training data already, but I didn't find that to be the case. At least in my small experiments.

The model's did try to guess what the code does. They would say things like, "It seems to be trying to print some message to the console". I wasn't able to get full solutions.

It's definitely worth more research, not just as a curiosity, but these kinds of problems are good proxies for other tasks and also excellent benchmarks for LLMs particularly.
You're absolutely right about ACT. What are your thoughts on diffusion policy line of work? In my personal experience, I found it way more robust than ACT. Have you had a chance to try it?
Immutability by default is not a requirement for functional programming (I mean... if it were, Haskell would be obviously not FP since the 'default' entrypoint is very mutable).

Neither are monads. There are entire FP languages without monads for effects (obviously, you can write a monadic interface in them, but it's not part of the idiomatic core). For example, clean uses linear types to control effects and purescript / Idris use a custom effect-system. So no, monads are not a requirement, and even if they are, modern c++ fully supports them, as does rust, javascript, etc. It's very common in javascript to use Array.map() and Array.flat().
You must be in some good writers' microcosm. A lot of human technical writers really write like that.

I fully agree with you that instrumentation is one of the biggest barriers to state, action, trajectory and reward feedback

However, instrumentation assumes that there’s a control regime that could actually control whatever the system is mechanically, and that’s generally not true.

So it’s almost a chicken and an egg problem where you can do instrumentation for non-autonomous-control systems in order to get state-action-reward data, but because you don’t actually have an actuated control system that you can specify and build mechanically, your targets for state-action-reward tuple aren’t the same

That is to say unless you’re actively collecting data from an autonomous system that’s being used non-autonomously then you’re not gonna be able to transition from a non-autonomous control regime to an autonomous control regime
> Much of the US South doesn’t have basements. Maryland is an outlier for climate (colder winters) and demographic (wealthier) reasons.

The Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and most of the West have as cold or colder winters than Maryland. Indeed, it's largely only the Pacific coast and South/Southwest that don't have colder winters. Hard to call Maryland an outlier when like half the country lives in places that get that cold or colder!

Vietnamese sources from 2023 have plenty of information and are credible… because it’s Vietnam. Many don’t publish in English, or publish only truncated versions in English.

Frankly, if you actually know what’s what, you would also know how to get copies of this information directly from the relevant ministries in Hanoi. So there’s no need to take my word, or any third party’s word, for it either way.

What style of multifamily are you referring to here? Every townhome and apartment style I’ve ever lived in has discrete electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.

I’ve only rarely seen condo styles with shared systems and those typically come with unappealing expensive management fees, insurance, and shared expense to the tune 500+ per month on top of the price for the unit itself. My father used to mantain the infrastructure for such a development and those were prices circa 2000 or so.
The problem is that short of actual drugs appearing there is no way to verify anything illegitimate has transpired. This is just like Twitter's "this is a parody account" debacle.
