People don't have to have kids because having kids are expensive and time-intensive.

When all your friends have lots of kids, those expense can be shared.
> They closed because it was cheaper to build in other countries, or to outsource from contractors who build in other countries (where organized labor doesn't exist). The U.S. lost thousands of high-paying (and tax-paying) labor positions and atrophied the skills that went with them. Intel profited from it.

This doesn't make sense, Intel did and still does most of its manufacturing in the US, didn't it? (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_manufacturing_si...) I assume the thing that changed if there was a major loss of jobs was automation, not outsourcing. It's a lot easier to keep a clean room clean if you don't need to let people (with their hair and dead skin particles) in.

Its not a strong argument. Denying nature is what we do constantly. We teach our children to shit in a bowl that flushes water instead of shitting on the ground, we teach them to delay their gratification s, we tell them not to use violence, we teach them to ask for consent. All unnatural things to do. Are you saying these are not wise things to do?

I eat pork steaks fairly regularly. They’re nice because you can make four of them at once and throw them in the fridge for whenever you’re hungry. I eat other things too, but 500g twice a day isn’t too far off from what I sometimes eat. Am I making a mistake? Why or why not?

To be clear on the quantity, I just checked my latest pork steak package in our fridge. It’s 4.47 pounds, across four steaks. After cooking it probably reduces to about three pounds. 500g is 1.1 pounds, so that’s about two of the four steaks. And eating two pork steaks over the course of a day isn’t uncommon for me.

500g twice a day would be the entire pack of 4 over the course of a day. I could imagine myself eating that much, but it would feel more along the lines of participating in an eating contest than my usual intake.

Is there a scientific way to determine, based on available factual evidence, whether I’m at risk of long term problems from this habit? All in all, I usually order a pack of 4 twice a week, and that’s when I’m only eating pork steaks. I usually get bored and switch to sandwiches, salads, cheeses, and other foods. But again, it’s within a factor of three of your warning level, which prompts me to ask.

Mainstream American Christians probably aren’t as devoted to their religion as say Mormons or other more closed off sects. Devote Catholics absolutely have as many kids as they reasonably can, you’re right the simple answer is just religion. Lower birth rate is often associated with reduced religious affiliation, even atheists have more kids than “agnostics”.
It's amazing to me the number of people ranting at each other about this, when it seems like straight up BS. Intel's current and past manufacturing sites are not in low cost of living locations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_manufacturing_si...

In rural areas of the US it is common for children to enroll in 4H which includes lessons in animal husbandry. Children can show various livestock at fairs and they conclude with auctions of said pets for consumption. Comparing it to factory farming is a stretch but to a little kid that gave a name to their chicken it might as well be.

Ask HN: Why does OpenAI's API require purchasing "credits" now?
Title says it all. I received an email explaining that all API fees must now be paid with “credits” which must be purchased in advance.

This is less convenient and also seems a little greedy to me? I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt but I also noticed that these credits expire after a year which feels very “gift card adjacent”. I obviously doubt that I purchase credits and don’t use them for a whole year, but someone will and the only reason I can think of for that is to effectively get free money for some percentage of credits that expire.

I know other online services do this, but usually there is a way to automatically refill credits, and I don’t typically see any sort of expiration dates.

What gives? Just profit-minded business strategy or is there a specific reason they want to switch to this purchasing method?
but that's not out of the box if you need Debezium, that's my point

Same with walking barefeet. Now it is somewhat hip again in some areas, but not where I live. "Mum, why does this man wear no shoes?" I hear so often.

Now walking barefeet in the city is not recommended because of glass and dogshit everywhere, but through a path in the forest and over rocks it is much more fun (and healthy for my joints) without shoes. That is, if you relearned how to do it. You cannot walk barefeet, like you do with shoes. Also, if you started walking barefeet over 20, your skeleton and muscles in the feet will never really adopt again, like they would if you do it as a child. So if you have childs, let them go barefeet wherever and whenever possible (also in the snow for a short time).

> My landlord and Tesco doesn't accept code contributions as payment

Your landlord and Tesco aren't an open source project.

If for instance I get paid $X to specifically work on Redis by Y. The open source project now has effectively a full time engineer they aren't paying for, one that likely would not be a full time engineer for redis otherwise.

You cannot have "Amazon engineers contribute to redis" and "Amazon pays redis $X every month" and Amazon is only an example here, it could be Costco or IKEA or whatever.

So your argument is that instead of having OSS contributions from some of the best engineers in the world, redis (and other now OSS software) should compete with FAANG to pay those engineers.

Guaranteed one of the FAANG companies would just develop the tools internally instead if paying redis.
Non gravity forces are quite linear and simple, the coupling with fermions is only through covariant derivative.

Gravity is extremely non linear, when you look at the expression for Ricci tensor, it is much more complicated than other forces.
Interestingly, there is some nuance. One of the two licenses seems to be copyleft, but it's just not currently approved.

EDIT: Ironically, the SSPL seems to be more open than the copyleft counterpart (AGPL) - the difference is that it enforces releasing the whole service source. Any discussion assuming that the new dual licensing model is hurting the users' freed is actually unfounded.

---

About SSPL (https://redis.com/legal/licenses):

SSPL is a source-available license created by MongoDB, who set out to craft a license that embodied the ideals of open source, allowing free and unrestricted use, modification, and redistribution, with the simple requirement that if you provide the product as a service to others, you must also publicly release any modifications as well as the source code of your management layers under SSPL.

SSPL is based on GPLv3, and is considered a copyleft license. This means that if you use the source code and create derivative works, those derivative works must also be licensed under SSPL and released publicly. For more information, MongoDB has a good FAQ.

Note that SSPL has not been approved by the OSI, and we do not refer to it as an Open Source license.

The Glymphatic System – A Beginner's Guide (2016)
Sure! 4H is a program in America with the goal of teaching animal husbandry to children. A big event in rural areas is the 4H auction of animals raised within the program. Since these animals are hand-raised they attract premium prices.

One of the "difficulties" with this program is that it's very easy for children to get attached to the animals they raise, and the tears flow when the animals are auctioned off. It's an important, formative time in the life of anyone who might raise livestock.

Most of the children involved are girls, for whatever reason. Could just be my own regional, temporal experience though!
When I was younger I never understood the old saw about mathematicians doing their best work in their 20s, or other similar observations .... I thought it was strange, since being older means you had more time to get more experience.

Now after experiencing the pandemic... I suspect a small part of the reason for things like this maybe is they younger you are, the less chance you've had the misfortune to experience some infection or another that left you with some mild mental impairment -- including perhaps impairments so small that no individual would notice it in themselves, but in the statistical aggregate, it has an impact.

As far as knowledge and wisdom go, older is better.
But raw intelligence or processing power, or most of all, the one that really seems to impact everything -- working set size! -- maybe every year is only ever one more chance to get worse, and never to get better?
Is this going the way of elastic and aimed at service providers like AWS using it without paying for it?
This is true for copyleft licenses, but not for permissive licenses. And you can still get a copy of the old version under the old license from someone who downloaded it before the license change.

GDPR is not about websites or internet, it applies for everything, so the law should not dictate an UX. Be patient , slowly this popups will be declared illegal by the justice system , companies will pay the fines and will fix them.

I think the IT / tech people need to decide on sme standards here and not have EU force one on them. There are some laws about age verification, this shit could have been solved by tech decades ago where you set the user age in the computer/phone OS when you create the account then the OS and browsers work together to ensure under 18 do not access adult websites or apps. Then concerned parents when buy a phone for the children and they setup their email/account they just enter the birthday and the OS/browser will have to do the work to filter the content.

But the tech crowd was busy with other shit and conservatives/religious types will force us all to suffer the consequences and prove Google/Steam/YouTube ... my age
You misunderstand what "natural" means. Nature doesn't care at all about those things. But as a social species, we evolved some "rules" which ensure our survival. In that sense, some of our morality has roots in nature and evolution.

So I don't agree at all that by not using violence all the time we're going against our nature.

But in the case of food, I believe we are, because evidently we require certain substances to survive, and one of the best ways to get those is to eat meat. In most regions where humans live today, without meat or foods imported from faraway regions, we couldn't survive.
As of my reply there's 120 other comments raving about it.

> Concrete types in a function signature also work as assertions, so it's one way to force the compiler's hand this way. In many cases it's better to assert the arguments, rather than the parameters, to keep the method itself generic. The main reason to add types to a method is to allow multiple dispatch to pick that method of the function for values of the specified type.

No they do not, this is not how it works. Functions auto-specialize on the types they see and do a multiple dispatch behind the scenes on these specializations. Type parameters in a function signature thus only define what specializations are allowed. See https://book.sciml.ai/notes/02-Optimizing_Serial_Code/ for details. As such, you don't need to add any types to a function signature to get performance.

Last time I tried Gnome I was struggling with the inability to remap shortcuts to clear a way for using my Emacs bindings without the desktop interfering. The ctrl-shift-f for a global search sounds like a generally bad idea that will conflict with a lot applications. Or maybe it doesn't impose itself on applications but only the desktop, I don't know.

But one thing I know that if I disagree with Gnome developers then I'll have a hard time working around and hacking my own way in. I've usually ended up starting to patch Gnome/Gtk components at which points I just realize that it is absolutely futile and I give up.

Gnome used to be the marvel of configurability. Around Gnome2 time there were gazillion settings and options that you could change, and even more via gsettings/gconf. Then the UI was gradually dumbed down but you could still configure most things. "Tweak" tools appeared. Now it seems I bump into an ideological obstacle left and right, and even the tweak tools won't let me change anything much besides some cosmetic properties.

Mate has some rough edges but it's pretty much the only thing that still works for a power user that wants an UI with a traditional window manager of my choice instead of whatever tiling configuration is in hype this year.

>They just had to use water cannons and flashbangs on unarmed elderly people who just didn't want their land and water dug up and ruined with oil spills.

That's a very one-sided description of what's happening. So far as I can tell, they were blasted by water canons because they set up an illegal encampment in the way of an oil pipeline that was under construction.
Why pay redis though? Vs "the community"

How much does redis pay those aws engineers for their contributions?
What do these acronyms mean?
Yes, I briefly considered that idea and immediately discarded it. It would only make any sense at all in industries where the cubicles were a big part of the costs and margins were thin.

I'd say most industries do not match this description, and that most of the increase in the S&P500 over the last 40 years was due to real revenue growth, not cost cutting
I much more trust some experienced people to raise animals properly compared to untrained likely underage kids...
Yes, steel, especially non heat treated 4130 crhomoly is repairable at just about any metal working shop. That's why it's the choice of bicycle tourers and custom frame builders. Also a steel frame is very dependable, bicycle enthusiasts usually rebuild thier steel frame a couple of times during its lifetime. Last year I bought a lugged steel road bike frame that has the same age as myself and build up with a mix of vintage and contemporary components with vintage looks.

Alloy, titanium and carbon fiber are lighter and that's what most consumers want, having watched Tour de France and bicycle industry marketing materials. Big brands facing increased competition from Asia started to put carbon frames of questionable quality on the market, so if you want an okay bike you are best served by alloy, because they're mass produced and the process is quite optimized and well understood. Titanium is basically unrepairable without special tooling and know how and it feels basically the same as alloy. It's stronger and more corrosion resistant.

The bike industry also puts a lot of new or proprietary standards on the market, especially when it comes to bottom backets. Other new standards include different fork spacing, head tube diameters, rear suspension couplers, proprietary frame integrated suspension and more recently integrated e-bike batteries. The worst offensers are Cannondale, Specialized, Trek and Cervelo.

If you want a bike with sensible standards you want a BSA threaded bottom bracket if it's a metal frame or BB86/92 press fit if it's a carbon frame, a fork with a 1 1/8" steerer or tappered from 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" steerer if it's a mountain bike or a high end road bike, a 34 mm or a 44 mm head tube, 135 mm O.L.D. rear and 100 mm front fork spacing for quick release skewers or 148 mm/110 mm boost spacing if it's a newer mountain bike or 142 mm/100 mm spacing if it's a newer road bike with thru axles, a seat post diameter of 27.2 if it's a road bike or 31.6 mm if it's a newer mountian bike. For brake mounts I prefer IS brake mounts because they're robust, don't have threads to cross thread and misalignment issues are not common, but modern road bikes come with the flat mount (FM) standard and newer alloy MTBs come with post mount (PM). What you probably don't want is a mountain bike with flat mount brakes, funny axle standards, direct derailleur mounts, integrated seat posts, integrated cockpits, full internal routing, lefty forks, integrated frame suspension and so on.

Leading three paragraphs:

The U.S. Justice Department is considering whether to allow Julian Assange to plead guilty to a reduced charge of mishandling classified information, according to people familiar with the matter, opening up the possibility of a deal that could eventually result in his release from a British jail.

Assange, the divisive WikiLeaks founder, is fighting a drawn-out legal battle with the British government to avoid being extradited to the U.S. to face trial for publishing thousands of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables around 2010. A U.K. court is currently considering whether to allow a last-ditch appeal by the 52-year-old. After U.S. prosecutors charged him in 2019, U.K. law-enforcement officials apprehended him, and he has been in a London prison ever since.

Justice Department officials and Assange’s lawyers have had preliminary discussions in recent months about what a plea deal could look like to end the lengthy legal drama, according to people familiar with the matter, a potential softening in a standoff filled with political and legal complexities. The talks come as Assange has spent some five years behind bars. U.S. prosecutors face diminishing prospects that he would serve much more time even if he were convicted stateside.

Benevolent dictator is still just a dictator. As he grows older, he cares more about staying in power than following current trends. China wanted to prevent this with their 10 year rule for the general secretary but Xi changfed that and that was his biggest mistake.

I think the industry's criticism of AWS is understandable, msw. I believe it is time for AWS to come up with a more sustainable method to support the open-source community. By sustainable, I mean financial support and dedicated resources for contributing back to open source. Given your position, I hope you can initiate this type of change. Allocating 0.5 or 1% of AWS's revenue or even profit from each service that utilizes open-source software is unlikely to significantly affect the financial statements, yet it would represent a significant contribution to the open-source community.

Finally someone who gets it. The echo chambers that exists among programmers today is painful. And it is especially bad on SO when you ask a question and someone just comments one of the following without going into depth as to the why:

"Don't use goto it is bad"

"Don't use reflection it is slow"

"Don't do that it is an anti-pattern"

"Don't use X it is considered bad practice"

I understand there are rules of thumb when programming, but they are not set in stone. There is a reason the language designers haven't removed or deprecated features.
That's a very optimistic view on the future of Rust, and a very pessimistic view on the future of C. Chances are that C will be longer around than Rust just because of the Lindy Effect ;)
