I recently needed a computer to run fusion 360. Options were Mac vs Windows.

I could do a SFF PC or a Mac mini. After looking at the paltry memory/storage Apple chose to give with the mini, I ended up going with an AMD system with 96GB of ram and 4TB of SSD storage for less than a 16GB Mac mini.
There are also non shitty security systems. Garda absolutely has them.

They just didn’t have them installed here for whatever insane reason.

I love Armisen. The skit he did with Malkovich about a calculator is my favorite thing ever.
I imagine that's what causes the confusion. The big green check is a Q&A site model ("this worked for me") but the site is intended as a documentation site ("this is how you do it"). It's a bit strange to have one question closed as a duplicate of another one that has an answer that only worked for the other question asker.
There is also the factor that the nepo kids are trained since birth for the role, often with the best education money can buy.

Training makes up a lot for stupidity and other gaps.

At some point, it doesn’t matter enough, but that can go quite awhile.
Show HN: A Simple XML and Feed Parser Written in TypeScript
I had some fun a while back writing this XML parser in Typescript, after taking interest in tokenisation and compilers.

You can try it out in your own Javascript projects with a simple `npm install xml-trap` and you're good to go! The tokenizer used internally is also exposed (with `createTree`) for anyone to explore and have fun with.

Contributions are welcome!
I'm not really sure what you're getting at. A lot of figures in mythology have multiple names. Paris/Alexander was one -- but today he's far better known as Paris.

The characters used to write Αλεξανδρος (no accents back then!) are interesting to me. I associated that style of script with much later times. Shows what I know.

When Frank Marshall was hired as VP of engineering at Cisco in 1992, he assessed after three months that we had a software quality problem and forbade any software engineering activity except "Fixing bugs." This went on for perhaps six months. It allowed key competitors to get ahead of us because we could not address some serious architectural issues in the code base because that would be writing new code, not fixing bugs.

Gerald Weinberg talks about "Software Stalins," managers who grab onto one indicator and think that driving it to zero (or 100, or 11 for you Spinal Tap Fans) will resolve all other problems.

If only things were so simple.
It's a long dead thread so you have plenty of mouthiness latitude. As to very very common suggestion? It has an equally common and even more persuasive rebuttal which, again, you've not addressed on its merits at all. You have 'I'd find it interesting', 'I don't like you dismissing it as noise' and 'you say many other people have had this bad idea thus it's not a bad idea'. These are all a little indirect, meta and not really responsive to the counterargument.
Why would they have to upload it to protonmail? OP is not a protonmail user, is he? It would be ridiculous if encrypted communication would require explicitly uploading your key to each system from which someone might conceivably try to message you.

You opt in by having an email address and by having a published key associated with that email address.

>You can always use different databases for different use cases.

Unfortunately this is not always realistic, especially in large organizations, I know where I am there is a big push from top (i.e the IT budget people) to standardize everything they want to simplify licenses, support contracts etc.

I may not be doing cutting edge stuff (I work at an Industrial plant) but we do have mixed data use cases where it could be beneficial to use different dbs but realistically I don't see it happening.
I really, really hope that the future you describe doesn’t come to pass. It sounds like hell.

There is an aspect of personal bias for sure: I don’t want my profession or the countless related fields to be devalued, I dislike the imprecision of LLMs, and they spark none of the joy in me that programming does.

But there’s something beyond that I find difficult to put into words. There is a tremendous inelegance to it all, in the same way a brute force solution feels fundamentally unsatisfying.

Most software today only uses a tiny fraction of the capabilities of the hardware, because we optimise for how fast we can implement marketable (and often hostile) features. LLMs and co strike me as dialling that up to 11; why improve anything when we can just throw more hardware at the stuff that sucks?

I like browsing the web god damn it, and I don’t need some corporate facsimile of a human to ask me why I don’t look happy.
This is very nonconvincing to me, because you dance around the core of your own argument, refusing to state it plainly: Why would it be necessary for everything intelligent to consist of animated matter? You don't even offer a plausible hypothesis.

To me the null hypothesis is that non-organic intelligence is possible --at worst (!!)-- simply by emulating exactly what an intelligent organic entity does (but it seems obvious to me that this approach is likely to be wasteful and inefficient).
I don’t mind taking a look, but at least tell me you googled it first!
Thanks for this link! That 2016 comment appears to say he was known alternatively as Lỗ Mạnh Hùng or Lỗ m Cường.

I'm not sure how many photo labs were still operating in the city in 2016 but Google Maps is listing only 20 there now. If he was 12 in 1968 he would be around 68 today.

We also know his father was AP photojournalist Lỗ Vinh so possibly the Associated Press or NPPA might have a lead.

> You can put a few bills into the machine, that's not a crime.

Until you're suspected of laundering.

All I'm saying is that as soon as the Secret Service comes knocking (although maybe they only deal with counterfeiting, but [insert any federal agency]) with a suspicion that you, or that money, are involved, the casinos will fall over themselves to assist. They're not going to risk threats to their licenses.

> Don't drive in with a vehicle tied to you, wear a hat or basic disguse

You say this like casinos don't also employ systems, and people who are trained to look for hustlers, con artists, cheats who might be using disguises to enter.

You're right, though, absent any suspicion of you, they won't be looking for you.

It's very easy for banks to tell what merchants have had skimmers installed. Three or four fraud reports that all have a common merchant, and you're off and running, by seven or eight you can isolate pretty much any merchant.

But this also the fallacy of superiority, and "the intelligence of criminals". "Hah, stupid criminals, basic opsec, and you're fine." Were you carrying a cell phone? What's your gait as you walk look like? Etc., etc. "Oh, they won't go to that length"... for thirty million dollars cash stolen? They absolutely will. "Gait analysis is pseudoscience"? Maybe. Do you think that will stop efforts at parallel construction?

> Hell, you could find the lowest volatility game such as video poker that has a 99.5% hold and play it for a calculated amount to converge to the mean as quickly as possible. It's not like cheating where they are going to be running after you as soon as you put in funny money.

This would stand out like a red flag as soon as you did it a few times. Because who goes from video poker machine to video poker machine (even at different casinos - and many of the casinos can and do track and work with each other on surveillance to watch people moving between them) just to "play for a calculated amount to converge on the mean" and then cash out? No, they're not running after you, but when the po-po come knocking, you'll be wearing a neon sign above your head.
I like that some tools also provide a copy button next to fields, it looks like two overlapping boxes (kind of like: ⎘). If I were building a tool that exposed user copyable keys, I'd be sure to add these to my forms and fields. A brief contextual "copied!" modal that quickly fades away is a nice touch too.
Google App Engine was ahead of its time, but it's still quite a successful product. I think it didn't get traction back then because it was too different from the status quo for developers to want to invest in it. The other thing is vendor lock-in and costs. If you're all in on Heroku (or AWS or GCP or...) you have no recourse if they decide to raise prices on you. Even though that's never really happened other than the ipv4 AWS thing for developers, (ie DocuSign doesn't count) the mere possibility that you could get hosed by your vendor scared enough people off that it failed to get the traction it deserved, imo.
Teflon is a subset of pfas. The discussion around this issue is just as unsophisticated as sating 'nuclear bad.'
Not surprsing. I'll also mask (N95, yeah something with a carbon filter would be even better) for the heavy stuff and always go fragrance-free if possible, which is something the article mentions.
If you look at modern day Vietnam and say “ah yes, this is a Marxist-Leninist state” then I am sorry but you are very naive or dishonest. Presumably the same literal interpretation isn’t extended to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and I sincerely hope by now that you don’t think the Chinese Communist Party govern anything other than a state-capitalist country.

I don’t know what to call these countries, but selectively taking these states descriptions of themselves at face value is very silly indeed, and doesn’t really contribute much to the conversation. In my experience, the “X is communist/socialist/leninist/whatever” is most often deployed online as shorthand to indicate to (and then naively repeated by) credulous, sheltered or otherwise ignorant Americans that the country in question is bad and that even if it’s imperfect the USA is still #1, baby.
>Robots.txt isn't a legal document.

ROBOTS.TXT is an implied license, just like LICENSE.MD or LICENSE.TXT in any GitHub repo. There are decades of precedent that the ROBOTS.TXT file communicates what is and isn't allowed when scaping web content, and that you should check that file before scraping the rest of the site.

Willfully violating a written license provided in a predictable format absolutely is a civil legal violation. If your license says "You cannot use this to train AI", and an AI company scrapes it up and trains an AI on it anyway, even though you did your due diligence to communicate your terms, then you have a legal right to seek damages if you can prove that they are violating your license.

You're basically arguing that no reasonable web scraper would know about ROBOTS.TXT. That's bullshit, this method of web robot control has existed since 1996. It would be like violating the license terms of a GitHub project, and claiming that you didn't know that the LICENSE.MD / LICENSE.TXT file was a license you were expected to follow...
No rare earth minerals are in solar cells. This is a famously bullshitty meme that was being propagated by Michael Shellenberger.
The simpler a rule is, the less likely it gets gamed. Simple as that. As for the standard tests, it baffles me why the US won't take a more rigorous approach like other countries do. At least add word problems, proofs, or in general problems that require some writing.

> And, as far as I know, I think the US is like the only place that doesn't use tests as the primary decider for higher education.

Yeah, it baffles me too. It's also hard for someone outside of the US to understand how even raising such question will be political and worse, racial. For god's sake, we don't need national or even state exams. Universities can simply design their own tests. Britain does that. Japan does that. Germany does that. East European countries do that. India does that. China does that (in addition to their national entrance exams).

How is a simple measure so divisive in the US? Oh well, what is not divisive in the US?
I don't understand what happens when the sensor is bent in more than one location.

At the beginning you mention a ToF sensor, which made me think that you're looking at reflections from the bends and measuring distance to them, but this seems not to be the case. ISTM that if you bend the sensor in two places, you'll simply get the sum of the logattenuations from both. If we assume that the "strength" of the bend continuously changes attenuation, ISTM that you need as many strands as there are gap locations to be able to disambiguate between any two sets of bends.

Am I misreading something or is this intended to operate in cases where we know only one bend is present?

It’s challenging for people because you are often put in positions you can’t control the outcome of.

All you can do is your best, and if you fail, there is little safety net to help you. At least in the U.S. major items are tied to your job.

You can also be put in situations where people want you to sacrifice like you have equity in the company, but at the same time treat you like you are replaceable.

There is also a lot of people that are willing to over promise and blame you when things fail. At the end of the day it is the company over everyone.

Speaking of which, why are we stuck with this terrible "trailing space selected" behaviour? It's not the case on all platforms, macos/ios perform fine and only select the actual word but Windows still includes the trailing space. There are posts online complaining about this going back 15 years at this point, it's super low hanging UX fruit.
In the case of restaurants this is true. It's to avoid special treatment.

Unlike art, music, and film. Where "special treatment" would have to be bribery (and that does happen).

I mean keep in mind, stupid companies also exist (I'd argue they're the norm actually - you can have a company with nothing but smart people, but it's a Chinese room - the company itself can be an idiot). That's the problem with stupidity in general: it doesn't know it's stupid.

It's a corollary of "the market can remain irrational longer then you can remain solvent".

BitLocker does this and it's nice UX for walking someone through a recovery key over the phone.

If it's seasoned properly, it really is non-stick and that makes it trivial to clean without soaking or excessive scrubbing.

I've cooked with the same cast iron pan, daily, for years, and it only gave me trouble when I had a habit of soaking it. At some point I stopped doing that, re-seasoned it, and stuck to just soaping, scrubbing, rinsing, and drying. It's never given me problems since. I only had to be careful what I was using it for while I was still re-seasoning it, and I also haven't needed to re-season it since. (I use enough oil just from my normal cooking.)

As far as cooking things like tomato sauce in it, I agree that should be avoided if possible, but the main concern there is damage to the pan, not health. It would take a lot of leaching to get iron poisoning, assuming you don't have hemochromatosis.
It's not actually so esoteric. The two main knobs are

I've got a story about that. All of the tops of my teeths are worn down to the enamel and have been since a young age. My jaw (TMJ joint) on one side has permanent damage resulting in a constant clicking when I eat. I visited a dentist to get botox injected into my masseter muscles to force them to relax and reduce wear on my teeth. He told me they were the most powerful masseters he'd ever seen. Developed as a result of unconscious clenching from stress. Even a high dose of botox had a mild effect on them, and the effect is temporary.

Not sure I buy it, but indeed the dentist was telling me clenching is common in particular types of work like software engineering because of something to do with brain waves.

Epstein-Barr virus seems to dramatically increase the risk of Multiple Sclerosis, likewise with Herpes and Alzheimer's. And of course HPV seems to cause various forms of cancer depending on where it occurs.

I don't know. Regulations require labor. And there's no amount of economies of scale that's going to overcome that. Just to get started there's years of understanding the regulations. Then there's the super high levels of security needed. The super high levels of monitoring needed to run the reactor, etc, etc.

People say "Nuclear" because TINA (There is no alternative). But given what's going on with this plant, even if they can recoup the $35B in 20 years, given the risk and the debt load on the company, I wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled it before it went online.

And generally, after watching enough documentaries about nuclear power plant disasters, I think I don't want to live anywhere near one. Truth is the first casualty during an accident.
