It's beyond dysfunctional that this happens in the richest country in the world. Money is a means and not an end, if you cannot ensure a decent childhood for your country's children (while less wealthy nations manage much better), what is even the point of so much economic growth?

There's nothing about htmx that would make me choose it over my preferred framework of VueJS, but I am very supportive of its central premise: that anchors and form actions should be able to target their output at the granularity of individual elements, not just entire documents. I think it would be a common-sense evolution to the HTML standard, along with scoped ids.

I guess some risk analysis can be made with the plane's and Starship's cross-section.

Let say they are cubes of 30m each. The expected area where they might both be present to be a 5km square. That's a 0.000025 chance of collision at most; and I suppose the plane is away from the center of the expected Starship Gaussian. I'd personally ride in that plane and risk that, even to just to get a glimpse of the reentry.
Our opening up of trade to China was contingent on eventual political reforms to the CCP's form of government. This has not happened. We've tried using the carrot on China for over 50 years. It's time to take out the stick.

I think we may just have different assumptions buried in the heart of our respective worldviews.

To me it is axiomatic that the value of a human life is not something that can be measured in dollars. All lives that can be saved, should be saved unless doing so would cost more lives.

To the "Institute of Economic Affairs" it's probably axiomatic that a humans only value is in their economic worth. The elderly that died therefore had little value in the first place. Their loss would mean little to that worldview.

When I see statements from the article like the ones below I see it as absolute proof that we made the right decisions, or at least something close to the right decisions. When the authors saw it they concluded that these lives were too expensive. A concept I find completely alien.

>Shelter-in-place (stay at home) orders in Europe and the United States reduced COVID mortality by between 1.4 and 4.1 per cent;

>Business closures reduced mortality by 7.5 per cent;

>Gathering limits likely increased COVID mortality by almost six per cent;

>Mask mandates, which most countries avoided in Spring 2020, reduced mortality by 18.7 per cent, particularly mandates in workplaces; and

>School closures resulted in a between 2.5 per cent and 6.2 per cent mortality reduction.
I think there are people that simply cannot afford to go lower than 400k if you’re looking in the Bay Area. Or it’d take a relatively big hit in lifestyle.
Mortgages are really expensive, kids in school or day care, payment to the new Rivian, etc. Just offering perspective of the other side for the forum.
It took the better part of a year for a small ~3000 sqft single story building to be built next to my (American) residence. Dudes showed up every weekday around 8am and left around 5pm, but they all seemed to be standing around doing nothing half of the times I passed by.

My maternal grandparents are in their mid 90s and as recently as right before the pandemic they were both entirely independent, so it's not impossible.

Part of their secret seems to be living on the fourth floor without an elevator for seventy plus years and going out on a daily basis.

I can't hope to live this long due to years of leading a sedentary lifestyle, but I invested in an apartment that's more than 64 steps above ground and on top of that has two levels, so every time need something from the kitchen I have to go down and up again to where I have my desk.
Why reaching 100% Code Coverage must NOT be your testing goal (C# examples)
I agree that people should be given the opportunity for their natural gifts being used effectively.

I do NOT think "I'm a sociopath, sorry that doesn't bother me" is ever an acceptable resolution to the damage, pain and suffering they cause.

If you help 100 but you have to destroy 5 to get there, was it worth it? I do not think people deserve the benefit of the doubt to make this ethical call. The problem with sociopaths is they HAVE NO ETHICS OR MORALS.

You cannot "teach them to feel"... it's like trying to teach a starfish to speak. The only thing you can do is give them negative consequences to their actions. If their actions worked in the past they will repeat them. If those are negative behaviors, they don't see / care that they had to "step on some toes this time".... it simply becomes that toe stepping is now a normal point along an ever-escalating path of social violence and disregard for others.

The whole "we can't pathologies it because the sociopath doesn't think they have a problem" point is the main issue for me. If someone was smoking in an enclosed room... and others asked them to stop it would be cut and dry. But because the person is being socially manipulative instead of breathing toxic carcinogens it's acceptable? Bad words ok, bad oxygen BAD! Why is this so hard to understand that the bad social behavior is JUST AS TOXIC.

I completely reject this. Socially manipulative behavior is wrong and destructive. I don't care how bad your childhood was your sociopathic manipulation is not justified in any way.

Jesus, dude, where was this? I graduated in 1999 from a school with nearly 3,000 students and it didn't even take me five minutes to walk to the school from my house, let alone to cross the campus. It was an average of maybe 40 seconds from classroom to the lunch area, depending on which class you had immediately before. If it was band, you lucked out and were right next to the cafeteria, though we also had separate outdoor food sellers and I never personally ate at the cafeteria and there weren't too many lines because there were so many options. Once senior year came and we could leave campus, there were three different walk-up Mexican lunch counters within four blocks of the school and it didn't take 10 minutes to get to one of those, either, and we were across the street from a grocery store. I lucked out senior year because my day ended with three consecutive periods of art and the art building was the one right next to the gate to the parking lot.

Credit California for at least that one thing. The open air campuses with hacienda style layouts were really easy to get around. Contrary to European imaginations in which all of the US is Frisco, TX, even in a Los Angeles suburb I could also walk pretty much everywhere as a kid and the weather was kind enough most of the time to even make it pleasant.
Most of the talk seems to be around Apple, which makes sense since they were opponents of the bill but I am more interested to see how this affects game console manufacturers. I had a longer post I had typed out about how console manufacturers have prevented non-authorized peripherals in the past with parts pairing and I was curious how that would affect the consoles going forward. I re-read the parts pairing section to make sure I read it correctly and then stumbled upon the section that refers to what the parts pairing restriction does not apply to and it is clearly written out that it does not apply to video game consoles. I find it very interesting that this applies to smart phones but not to video game consoles at all.
lots of questions here regarding what this product is. I guess i can provide some information for the context, from a perspective of an outside contributor.

Chainguard Images is a set of hardened container images.

They were built by the original team that brought you Google's Distroless (https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless)

However, there were few problems with Distroless:

1. distroless were based on Debian - which in turn, limited to Debian's release cadence for fixing CVE.

2. distroless is using bazelbuild, which is not exactly easy to contrib, customize, etc...

3. distroless images are hard to extend.

Chainguard built a new "undistro" OS for container workload, named Wolfi, using their OSS projects like melange (for packaging pkgs) and apko (for building images).

The idea is (from my understanding) is that

1. You don't have to rely on upstream to cut a release. Chainguard will be doing that, with lots of automation & guardrails in placed. This allow them to fix vulnerabilties extremely fast.
Why go through all the analysis, etc.. where you can patch it very quickly.

2. The OS is glibc-based. Which is a lot more friendly than Alpine.

3. It's pretty much YAML which is kinda easy to package software into APK packages & then images (with apko)

4. SBOM

and a lot more. But that's stuff on top of my head.

TL;DR:

> In 1943, someone came up with the idea of selecting a war weary bomber from each group and providing it with the means of clear identification—additional navigation lights, pyrotechnics, and a wild unmistakable group-specific paint scheme. Signal lighting systems vary from group to group, but generally consist of white flashing navigation lamps on both sides of the fuselage in the form of the identification letter of the group. All armament and armour has been removed. These ships will not go all the way to the target, so they carry minimal fuel and a skeleton crew of two pilots, navigator, radio operator and one or two flare discharge men. A few groups require an observer to fly in the tail position to monitor the formation. They are the first from each group to take off and they orbit the assembly point, flashing their lights and firing off coded flares until all their charges can find them and form up on them.

So the assembly ships are called that because they serve as an assembly point for the fleet and their garish colors are for better visibility as they're not meant to be involved in direct confrontations with the enemy and merely lead the way.

Aye same - I did great up until I had to make my own structure.

Decent enough in school but dropped out of college twice. Fell into an entry level IT job with loads of scripts, processes, and procedures but the more I progressed the more autonomy I was given and the worse I performed.

Was mostly terrible but occasionally amazing (enough to keep my job at least) for ~10 years then bumped into the ADHD symptoms at some point, got myself checked out, got the diagnosis.

Doing pretty well now (tho never perfect) with medication and a stint of cognitive behavioural therapy to help set up my own structure. Getting there!
Looking at the responses here (so far) - I'd say the problem (with this topic on HN) is too many people with both heavy axes to grind, and instincts to treat "men" and "women" as simplistic monoliths.

You could get similarly poor discussion on other topics if people assumed that all c code is hopelessly insecure, and that all PHP code was written by a clueless noob in 1998, and that WordPress had no legit use cases, and ...
Doesn't those link in bio sites provide the same benefits without you having to maintain a website?

The author doesn't talk about why having a website is superior. Is it the control?
Another motivator is to write some notes that you can google in the future. Write down a tutorial as a part of learning which others can benefit from it.

If you create value, you almost always capture it in some way. Not always money, it could be a job referral.
Those are amazing! I could've easily mistaken them for APoDs.

Is that really the color they look like to the naked eye (i.e. in the visible spectrum) or did you have to postprocess them?
Hmm, I’ve become less and less sceptical over time simply because I’ve seen the research on how medicating those with ADHD drops all cause mortality enough to extend lifespan by several years. It’s possible there’s overdiagnosis even still but I think people overestimate the potential scale of it, 25% overdiagnosis seems plausible to me but people act like ADHD is just all made up and a way to drug children into being study zombies because they act too much like typical children. It’s profound how often people diagnosed with ADHD, when off medication, will just kill themselves accidentally in car accidents and drug overdoses far more than the general population.

ADHD is not just labelling children with being disordered for being children. It’s labelling like the most inattentive, dysregulated, and hyperactive 5% or so of children. Children that act like 5 year olds when their peers act like 7 year olds. ADHD has been observed for centuries as well. ADHD in women tends to be diagnosed later in life and if you study certain subpopulations of women like teen mothers you will trip over ADHD and the diagnostic gap narrows with age.

There’s also evidence like.. from the OP where we can observe neurological differences. I think my main problem with ADHD is labelling something that’s probably evolutionarily adaptive (People with ADHD love having unprotected sex early in life) as a disorder and deficit, but this gets into the philosophy of medicine.

Dr. Russell Barkley is a good source of information and champion of the scientific mainstream view of ADHD.
I used to blog, back in early to mid 2000s. Mostly game development stuff for Reactor 3D. I still have the domains and I'll keep them until I die. You can't get quality .com's anymore. I'd love to revive Reactor 3D someday given the advancements in gpu programming but alas, I'm old, and I need a nap.

Almost all of my tech goes through my domains though so it's useful to have. DNS alone for gh pages and email is worth it.

The "Blackjack and Hookers" reflex, from Futurama when Bender gets thrown out of the amusement park on the Moon and says "I'll start my own theme park... with blackjack!... and hookers!... in fact, forget the park!"

EDIT:
Basically that's how these projects turn out. Having a theme park was never the point; blackjack and hookers were the point. Having a federated Wikipedia alternative isn't the point; having an encyclopedia where you can push an insane description of a topic and present it as reality is the point. And really, that makes for a shitty encyclopedia. Shitty enough for it to disappear before doing damage to the shared sense of reality society needs? No, but still shitty.

Yes, TCP provides the guarantee that your application will always receive data in the same order it was sent. Your kernel will do the necessary buffering and packet reordering to provide that guarantee.

So SACK might reduce packet resends, but it doesn’t prevent the latency hit that comes for having to waiting for the data went missing. Even if your application is capable of either handling out-of-order data, or is simply capable of handling missing data.
There is a huge difference between the common stereotype of ADHD (just rowdy children who can't sit still), and actual symptoms and diagnostic criteria. The difference is almost as comically warped as an image of a "hacker" in media vs actual hackers.

ADHD includes many other things like weak short-term memory, defunct perception of time, hard to control hyperfocus, overwhelming inner monologue, and executive dysfunction that makes some tasks physically impossible to start even when the person wants to do them. And it comes with a bunch of other comorbidities. Doctors diagnosing ADHD also have obligation to exclude other causes of the symptoms, like bipolar.

The stimulant medication does not actually cause stimulation in people with ADHD. When people have a deficit/insensitivity to the neurotransmitters, the meds merely bring them up from a dysfunctional level where the brain lacked ability to function properly to the normal-ish level.

I am not exactly sure where you got the "class name" part from, I've typically refereed to those as kernel filesystems or sharp devices. For the record these kernel filesystems are not technically 9p, they present an interface much similar but reads and writes to them are not marshaled and unmarshaled from 9p. It is however possible to export their files over 9p if one desires, I can import a remote machines /net stack and use it to announce or dial out. Plan 9 gives us proto-VPNs just be virtue of its design.

There was perhaps a time where the differences between having everything in binary ioctls and bound to specifically one device was a necessary component in order to reach reasonable performance, but I don't believe that is the case anymore. Anecdotally these days everything on Plan 9 feels snappier. We have some benchmarks that show that 9front outperforms linux with naive pipe io and context switches. What Plan 9 misses in micro optimizations it makes up for by having a incredibly consistent and versatile base.

I want to reiterate the benefits of the network transparency by talking about how drawterm works. Drawterm can be thought of the plan 9 equivalent of windows RDP. How it works is that internally drawterm creates routines to expose a /dev/draw, /dev/mouse and /dev/keyboard through whichever native way there is on the target system (macos, windows, linux, etc). It then attaches to the remote system and overlays these files over a namespace. Programs like our window manager rio can then be run completely transparently, forwarding not compressed images, but individual draw RPC messages. There is no need for any special code on the plan 9 host side in order to accommodate drawterm, again it is something that just falls out of the core design of the system.
All of your examples benefitted from smaller text. And the caveat is always that it has the be big enough to read. Therefore, just let the user set the size, they can set it to the smallest size they can read.

It's your probability of dying at those ages. The higher ages have lower probability because most people will have already died. In other words, the probability of dying at the age of 80 is conditional on the probability of surviving to the age of 80.
I agree with the sentiment.

I've run a personal blog for a few years (some of my posts have even made the HN front page, surprisingly). The constant stream of people trying to use it as a platform to sell their products or services is exhausting.

A few years ago I decided to humor one of these cold emails. I wrote about it here: https://soatok.blog/2021/05/18/avoiding-the-frigid-hellscape...

Publishing that post did not deter people from trying to get me to accelt payment to post their words on my personal blog. If anything, they became louder.

My point is: even if you make a personal website with no intent to create "content", there is an industry dead set on pressuring you to do so anyway.
This may be fading, at least a bit. One administrator of a top CS department told me that a number of the tenured professors were coming back from their time in industry rather than give up their tenure. So it would be easy this fall to staff the courses. The recent 10-15% layoffs around the FAANNNG world was the source.

In general, tenured academics can't code.
