In general, their brick quality isn't on par with Lego. The clutching of Lego bricks is finely weighed and consistent. The colouring is brighter. They don't have nasty toxic smells and paints. The set catalogues are more diverse with many more themes. Set designs are original and matching the age group. There is also historical significance and nostalgia for certain sets and themes, and they can be re-released as new sets with modern building techniques and new parts.
Although I do agree that cars provide some freedom of transportation, they are still heavily regulated, are more difficult to fix yourself than ever before (good luck fixing the electronics in your new BMW in the middle of nowhere), and you have to register them, buy insurance, etc. just so you could drive a extremely limited set of public roads that could be closed down any minute for a variety of reasons. Or you could just get stuck in traffic, enjoying that sweet freedom of sitting in a metal can whilst those peasants drive past you on their bicycles or other, not-as-free, means of transportation.

Are cars cool? Absolutely. Are they some kind of freedom machines? As much as oil companies and car (excuse me - freedom machine) manufacturers would say otherwise, no.

The new-line character is an actual character "at the end" of the string though so it makes sense that $ would include the new-line character in multi-line matching.
The tiny amount of lead they use is inversly proportional to their social influence, they are literally called influencers, and they are influencing an entire generation to be indifferent to use of lead in electronics because the personal risk is easily mitiigated.

Likely more accurate.

I'm not sure why anyone thinks any surviving development in an organism is due to this "one weird trick" thing, as opposed to a multitude of factors that rendered that organism fit for their environment, at least enough to pass said development on, anyway. Meat, fermented foods, fire, and a slew of other variables likely played a role.

Talking about evolution as though there was some single exploding popcorn kernel that caused change is a pretty narrow take on things. Sites like the one in the link only serve to perpetuate such shallow thinking on the matter, and in this case, likely to push a narrative.
This is obviously not true if you look at the current state and history of many countries in the world.

SLAPP is irrelevant here, since this was not an anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss, it was a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim.

Hoisting in JavaScript: A Complete Guide, Part 2
I'm excited to announce the publication of “Hoisting in JavaScript: A Complete Guide, Part 2” on my personal blog, following the successful reception of Part 1 a few days ago. This article delves deeper into the complexities of JavaScript hoisting, specifically focussing on how `const` and `let` declarations are hoisted, and the critical concept known as Temporal Dead Zone (TDZ). Additionally, I explained with clear examples how ES6 classes are hoisted, which is a syntactic way of creating the good ol' function constructors.

If you are aiming to enhance your JavaScript expertise or preparing for a senior-level JavaScript/Node.js/Frontend engineering role, this article is tailored for you.
> My conclusion after all this is that it’s autoimmune and that no one actually understands the mechanism which is why people who complain about this get dismissed.

Sicknesses caused by viruses are known to cause lingering "fatigue syndrome" in rare cases, so I'd be surprised if doctors would just flatly dismiss it. There probably is no such specific thing as "long covid", its just this syndrome that was always a thing.
You could read https://theconversation.com/why-scrapping-the-term-long-covi... which meets these claims head on and highlights why the research is faulty. The Guardian published https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/15/long-covid-sym... as well which is more truthful.

And of course, if you had not relied on a politically motivated, faulty, non-peer reviewed study you would find the following problems caused by Long Covid:

Having your serfs' basic needs met was very rarely a care of the ruling classes in any state form that deserves the name "serfdom". Serfs dying in a famine was just one of those things that happened. There was perhaps a brief reversal after the Black Death, when so many serfs had died there was almost a competition for the labor of the survivors.

My counter-argument to C: (I almost typed C:\> there, sorry) is that money in tech, in the end, still comes from people. Even if your business is using AI to optimise ad targeting, those ads still get paid for because the advertisers expect humans to hand over money at some point to buy products or play games or something.

Not even slightly exaggerating. The repairs are overstated.

If you think these fixes last more than a few weeks you are probably mistaken. And due to the way footprints are designed for the shells there are occluded pins which can’t be resoldered or repaired.

Did you even read your own link? This says “increases in sweat rate” not decreases.

And if you read the study and look at the results, after the heat training the average “sweatiness” was higher, not lower.

The whole point of this debate was that you can’t train yourself to sweat less, and I am still right in that assertion.
Have you tried zram for instance? There are a lot of things one can do to better utilise RAM on Linux.

I believe Fedora comes ootb with a lot of things to make ram management quite good. Using another distro these days, but Fedora impressed me on that front.

(edit: Try to use zram and zswap, check if your i/o scheduler is correct for your hardware, and increase your swapiness value. These should make your system behave better. For other performance improvements, use ananicy and irqbalance.)

As a Brit who lived in the US a few years so maybe has a detached perspective.. I saw Americans being happy in a land of opportunity with high personal freedom, opportunity to reinvent yourself, the great outdoors etc, and certainly I enjoyed that too. OTOH, individualism has its dark side. When people believe its all about self-determination and the state shouldn't be helping people, some people fall massively through the cracks e:g someone on low income while they try to look after a disabled family member. Americans are often generous at helping each other, in fact ironically I found those that supported economically right-wing "everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps" ideology, could often be simultaneously generous to others that they perceived to be in need. I think a source of unhappiness in the USA might be loneliness. To be honest, reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little house on the prairie" series, while that sounds idyllic in a way, it also sounds lonely and hard work to me. So, some sources of lower happiness in the USA in terms of lack of community, might be deep-rooted? (some off the top of my head thoughts which others may dispute :). )

> Eh, it confuses what's actually stated in the ruling with the direct results of the ruling, which would be a trial on the merits of this, in which they'll have to establish by the preponderance of the evidence that they're not a link in the chain of whatever radicalized this guy.

No, they won't necessarily. As the ruling makes clear, their Section 230 immunity claim is still live, but there are disputed questions of fact nexessary to resolve it. They only need to refute whatever proof is presented for causation if the plaintiff shows sufficient eveidence that they are a product in a manner not protected by Section 230 and they fail to refute that.

> All around the world, there are labs pulling late nights trying to figure out how to drug this.

I dont know why, but I've been under the impression for years that it was fat build-up. I remember I saw images of alzheimer brains with clogged arteries.

Sure drugging would be nice, but why not figure out what in our modern diet and habits is responsible for this? Why not tell people that the insane amount of oils/fats we consume (in comparison to our primate animal relatives) is killing us and/or making us sick?
There are books, kits, jars, drinks, restaurants. And you can buy fermented foods in shops too.

Imagine how unhappy we’d be if we had nothing to grumble about.
From previous discussions here on hn and their linked sources, it seemed to me like sulphur only made up for a small amount of the total change, even though it was sometimes touted as an "obvious solution" by the kinds of people who think climate change is no problem, since we can easily geoengineer our way out of it.

I generally approach such claims with scepticism, as i feel like they often start with a conclusion and then work backwards from there, with an unrealistic dose of optimism on the way. That type of discussion tends to delay the discussion of more serious and practical measures.
I believe it is probably possible due to the very very mathematical nature of the universe and it’s reliable calculability.

The only difference might be semiconductors might thermally not be able to do it since to dissipate the heat you need distance which then limits communication speed due to c and you might need that speed.

OTOH we can do tricks evolution missed so there is that. Quantization isn’t available for grey matter.
I strongly urge anyone dealing with these issues to look into the gut biome as a source of clues and experimentation. A lot is not known about the gut biome but we're discovering many autoimmune and autoimmune-like conditions are related to it.

Some things to do: get biome tests regularly, go on an elimination diet, find the right supplements, join various LC/mecfs communities doing this work.

The short answer is the medical system really doesn't know what to do here and if you're dealing w this stuff you have to take it into your own hands and familiarize yourself with the areas the medical system doesn't focus on.
Smaller gaps means higher throughput, at a given speed.
The input being matched is "cat\n" and the regex pattern is one of:

"cat$" with multiline enabled
"cat$" with multiline disabled
"cat\z"
"cat\Z"
I'm just so surprised

On one hand it seems we do so many "green deals" that it's basically impossible to manufacture anything in Europe anymore, and every house has a solar panel (made in China), and there are electric cars roaming the streets

On the other hand it seems it doesn't really help?
I just faced an issue with redis this week. It was causing my Javascript heap memory to go bust. I thought it was a data leak in my code but it turns out the redis client was filling it up and I fixed it by simply adding a static delay every 1 million set operations so that the garbage collector had enough time to do its job. (I was stress testing for a total of 6 million set operations)

Structural regexes as found in the sam editor are an obscure but well engineered regex engine. I am far from an expert but my main takeaway from them is that most regex engines have an implied structure built around "lines" of text. While you can work around this, it is awkward. Structural regexes allow you to explicitly define the structure of a match, that is, you get to tell the engine what a "line" is.

Regexp was one of the first things I truly internalized years ago when I was discovering Perl (which still lives in a cozy place in my heart due to a lovely “Camel” book).

Today most important bit of information is knowledge that implementations differ and I made a habit of pulling reference sheet for a thing I work with.

E.g. Emacs Regexp annoyingly doesn’t have word in form of “\w” but uses “\s_-“ (or something no reference sheet on screen) as character class (but Emacs has the best documentation and discoverability - a hill I’m willing to die on)

Some utilities require parenthesis escaping and some not. Sometimes this behavior is configurable and sometimes it’s not.

I lived through whole confusion, annoyance, denial phase and now I just accept it. Concept is the same everywhere but flavor changes.
Humans are bad at lipogenesis: we can only convert tiny fraction of the carbs into fat. Thus: the fat your eat is largely the fat you wear.

You cannot explain it otherwise (without showing a undiscoverd way humans can convert carbs into fat).

> i.e. if you just fed someone large amounts of protein and fat they would be lean; it is the sugar and carbs that make them fat.

This is dangerous. It may work on the short term, but it is very dangerous on the long run.
> the audience booed louder when the word disrupted was used as a term of praise

Yeah, it is often goes like "lets disrupt and see if we will be able to rip some benefits from the chaos after the disruption". And the fun thing that potential disrupters seem to believe that it is good for all, not only for them and only conditionally.
Yes and every implementation gets that right. The point was when multi-line matching is disabled and only Javascript, Go and Rust get that right.

I'm not too surprised by PHP and Python getting it wrong. Java and C# is a slight surprise though.
> Yes, but not to your camera.

But who is the "you" in this case? There can be footage of you that wasn't taken with your camera. The person falsifying it would just claim they used their own camera. Which they would have access to ahead of time in order to incorporate its fingerprint into the video before publishing it.
The cables were crap yes I agree there. But case in point my mother has my 2015 phone 6s. It’s been through me and two of my kids already.

Dishwashing and clothes washing are not designed to kill bacteria, even at high temperatures. They are designed to wash away bacteria. Detergent is a surfactant, it lifts bacteria/stains/dirt out of the material and then we wash them away. They are not usually anti-bacterial unless you buy a specific detergent that is
The differences of the various regex "dialects" came to me over the years of using regular expressions for all kinds of stuff.

Matching EOL feels natural for every line-based process.

What I find way more annoying is escaping characters and writing character groups. Why can't all regex engines support '\d' and '\w' and such?
Why, in sed, is an unescaped '.' a regex-dot matching any character, but an unescaped '(' is just a regular bracket?

Your word choice of "catered" in reference to meeting the needs of people is interesting. Do you feel that suffering is part of being a citizen?

Needs are not something to be "catered" to, but met with reasonable effort, and the US, so far as I can tell, is failing on that front, and has been for decades, regardless of red or blue leadership.

Nobody is asking for handouts, just the ability to afford a home and groceries with an appropriate wage. Sorry to be pedantic, and I certainly agree with your sentiment, but we need to watch our language in this discussion since I firmly believe that is part of why the subject matter is so divisive.
Possible but maybe 2060-2100. The big rub with LLMs is training time and methodology. RAG exists because despite the name, these AI systems cannot really learn, at least human level stuff.
