There's a crucial distinction here between the pragmatic and the normative, or else there's a feedback trap where accepting it as normal makes it even more common.

In other words you can plan around the worst case, but don't let go of the opinion/social-value that it's too-common and wrong and aberrant.
They exist by definition. Your claim makes no more sense than confidently proclaiming that there is no x such that x^2 < 0. We invented the imaginary numbers and made it so. So too the dual numbers.

People panicking and fleeing tech jobs will reduce supply, creating a better market for those who didn’t overreact to the LLM hype.

Over two decades passed from the first automobile to cars outnumbering horses in American cities. It took even longer for personal computers to become ubiquitous in homes after the first microcomputers hit the stores. I seriously doubt LLMs will wipe out every programming job in a few years. More likely they will create new and different opportunities for skilled people — and I don’t mean “prompt engineers.”

Then again I could have it completely wrong and lose my job to an AI next month. But 40+ years programming have taught me to look skeptically on hype and fads and doomerism.

I think it's all about how many clues you leave behind. If you make a HN account that you only access via Tor through a browser with Javascript turned off and stick your writing through some AI editing service, it's probably pretty difficult to trace anything back to you. If you stream yourself 16 hours a day every day, your nickname probably isn't saving you from much, as it only takes one person to go "oh I know them" and then your secret's out. So like everything, it's about a striking a balance. Who is out to get you, and how much do you like doing things online? Just a question you can ask yourself before you move into a cabin in the woods and work on your novel 24/7 or whatever. (Publish it under a pen name, though, obviously.)
Personally I'm not political about that but it's unfortunate Bulma chose to hide them now.
Australia is black and white - you get your 20 days a year annual leave, no exceptions, its the law. If you don't take your leave, it gets paid out.

US companies love to do the con job of "unlimited" PTO which, surprise surprise, is bullshit.

If an Australian company denies leave for whatever reason, its actually worse for them as accrued leave gets paid out at your current salary and they also need to account for it as a financial liability.

sqlite is great as a "file format" for a particular application, but I think it's a bad interchange format.

As mediocre as zip and tar are, you can cobble together read/write support without even needing a library. With sqlite, your only real option is to bundle sqlite itself, and while it's relatively lightweight, it's far from trivial.

zip has support for zstd, and if you wanted to make it go faster, you could embed some index metadata.

I can't see any specs for their format, not even a description of the sqlite tables.

in the case of India, their engine development project for the HAL Tejas started out with ~50 million USD in 1989 and had a target goal of 5 years.

Given that (even after a 650% cost overrun and 30 years) the total engine development cost is still about $400 million USD, that buys about one and a half F-35Bs.

30 years ago that was an option in Almaty (was extremely convenient for me, as we lived literally 2 block from there).

A good compromise in the meantime would be the Internet Archive. A lot of useful data is preserved there.

This made me curious about archivist ethics: https://www2.archivists.org/statements/saa-core-values-state...

> Privacy: Archivists recognize that privacy is an inherent fundamental right and sanctioned by law. They establish procedures and policies to protect the interests of the donors, individuals, groups, and organizations whose public and private lives and activities are documented in archival holdings. As appropriate and mandated by law, archivists place access restrictions on collections to ensure that privacy and confidentiality are maintained, particularly for individuals and groups who have had no voice or role in collections’ creation, retention, or public use. Archivists should maintain transparency when placing these restrictions, documenting why and for how long they will be enacted. Archivists promote the respectful use of culturally sensitive materials in their care by encouraging researchers to consult with those represented by records, recognizing that privacy has both legal and cultural dimensions. Archivists respect all users’ rights to privacy by maintaining the confidentiality of their research and protecting any personal information collected about the users in accordance with their institutions’ policies.

A “literal crowd” sounds mildly pejorative. I think it’s more that HN prefers productive, rational discussions.

If it's the one I'm thinking of: the title was about government, but all of the examples in the article were private firms with profit motives. The author implied that government must work the same way as industry, but that's a huge assumption.

Deflation causes the production of goods and services to become more expensive in addition to slowing down the velocity of money. Hence, businesses actually go bankrupt (as in liquidated, restructuring becomes far more risky), productive capacity sits idle, unemployment rises, consumption slumps further, remaining businesses become even more distressed, all of which leads to a complete collapse in confidence in the marketplace. In turn, individuals and businesses are encouraged to hoard money, which only leads to further slowdowns in the velocity of circulation, making money even more scarce, etc.

In such an environment, businesses undergo brutal competition for a shrinking pool of money. Simply servicing current debts and operating expenses becomes difficult. Taking out new loans and/or investing capital into such businesses is nothing short of insanity. Even if a business could raise prices the inability of consumers to pay could easily result in a net loss.

The economy is built on the velocity of money. There's a reason why Bush called on Americans to spend money in the aftermath of 9/11, the system really can't cope with a significant slowdown in spending, even if only for a few days.
Putting the braindead straw man aside:

The systems built were designed for a business that evolved, and the assumptions and constraints changed in a way that sometimes requires redoing things. This can be as simple as an assumption about how sales will be acquiring new clients, and how those new clients affect overall system scalability. If there's a long pipeline of feature requests and sales supersedes product managers on roadmaps, doing the necessary work to scale the systems is going to be deprioritized to a point where anything other than downtime is acceptable from a business standpoint. Sales are made on features being built, not on an impending doom that has yet to happen. This extends to other aspects of systems, like security.
I cheated for brevity :S
After overwriting the "Pack" magic bytes back to the SQLite default values, I was able to open it and see the following tables

CREATE TABLE Content(ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Value BLOB);
CREATE TABLE Item(ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Parent INTEGER, Kind INTEGER, Name TEXT);
CREATE TABLE ItemContent(ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Item INTEGER, ItemPosition INTEGER, Content INTEGER, ContentPosition INTEGER, Size INTEGER);

According to the `.indexes` directive, there are... no indexes. What's the point of sqlite if you're not going to index things?

All the data is stored in one big blob (the "Value" column of the "Content" table), with the metadata storing offsets into it. It looks like there's still the possibility of things being split over multiple blobs (to circumvent the 2GB blob size limit)

Disclosure: I'm a former Christian, now an atheist.

It's true that the people discussed in Hebrews 11 were said to have met and spoken with God. But, unless I'm missing something, the chapter still seems to say that present-day believers must have faith in a God they've never seen; verse 6 says that anyone who comes to God must believe that he exists, which to me implies that they haven't met him as the early believers did. So this still seems to require some kind of leap of faith, beyond the evidence available to us today. I'll leave it at that, since we clearly disagree.

That’s because you are not following the industry; denied-GNSS navigation has been a thing for a while. I have also seen several drone designs that can attach themselves to the silo steel wall from the inside for inspection jobs. UAVs aren’t perfect; their biggest drawback is the battery endurance before jumping to an airplane scale, but they are effective, efficient, and reliable for all their applications, even more than UGVs (UGVs have been used in real-life applications since the 90s or even before, yet drones took over in the last decade). QUGVs, on the other hand, are merely a toy, for education, or marketing purposes.
The only purpose I can see for QUGVs, or even UGVs in the future, is interoperability with drones, but definitely, drones are and will be the dominant force in the field for the future.

Any browser makes it easy to track you because that's how the web works and it's hard to fully prevent without significantly affecting compatibility and/or feature set. Firefox does have some "Enhanced Tracking Protection" features for this though. And (extensively) changing the content of webpages by default would be inappropriate for a mainstream browser; it's not their job to curate what you see, and this includes ads (for starters, it's not so easy to even classify what an "ad" is).

These are just more vague accusations, and just as unencumbered by any evidence as your previous vague accusations were.

> I think our feelings, as well as our thoughts, should be listened to

But why? Not asking to be difficult; I'm trying to understand why we should listen to either.

I've learned that my thoughts are often filled with unhelpful nonsense baked into me at an early age by the conditioning of traumatized parents. I've learned that I can change the kinds of thoughts that I have by learning new skills and reframing situations so that the next time I encounter a situation that would lead to unhelpful nonsense thoughts, those are no longer the default reaction. My thoughts aren't me - they're the results of processes in my brain. I've learned that often the most useful thing is to not listen to my thoughts, because they're spinning narratives that simply aren't true ("I'm worthless", "everything is my fault", "<person> must be thinking awful things about me", etc).

Our interpretation of feelings are mediated by thought. Given the susceptibility of thought to conditioning and external shaping, what makes a feeling worth listening to?

To be clear, I'm not saying that thoughts/feelings are never useful or true. We depend on them to make sense of the world and to survive our environment. I'm saying that they're often not true, and this raises the question: what differentiates the useful/true ones from the ones that are not? Simply having the thought/feeling isn't enough.

I went through a period of time in my life when I experienced thoughts/feelings "as me". I felt identical to them. Once I realized that they're appearances in consciousness alongside every other appearance in consciousness: sights, sounds, physical sensations, smells, etc., my relationship with thoughts/feelings shifted. I appear to be closer to "that which is aware" of these appearances in consciousness. When you start observing these thoughts/feelings playing out from a distance, it becomes increasingly clear that they're often just plain wrong, but wrong for understandable reasons (e.g. the anxious brain borne of childhood trauma).
