Thank you for trying out purl! Currently, the file name needs to be placed at the end of the command like this: purl -filter func main.go. This format helps purl understand which part of the command specifies the options and which part specifies the file.

I appreciate your feedback and understand that a more flexible command structure might be easier for users. We will consider making this change in future versions to accommodate different usage preferences.

I find myself going back to rewatch the movie over and over again, hoping to capture the emotions I experienced during the first time I ever watched it… and it doesn’t disappoint.

Love the setting, the casual nature of the gathering, and how it draws you in with the premise, and always leaves the imagination running wild.
Okay this is cool as hell.

Really? VHS with its grainy 240 x 320 resolution is better than a blu ray?
Authentic accents seem to be more important than clarity, for some reason. Clarity is somewhere down there at the bottom of the barrel on the priority list, right next to dead cockroaches. I think it's far more challenging to convey a realistic accent while remaining perfectly understandale to the audience. Like, what's the point of voice acting in narrative media if I can't understand a word you're saying? Anyways, try to watch a dub some time if you're proficient in a foreign language. German dubs tend to prioritize clarity in my experience.

There is another Neil Gaiman short story about a cat who goes gallivanting every night and comes back every morning all scuffed up. The owners don't know why since there aren't any other cats around. One night the owner can't sleep and discovers the reason.

And even this is selling Singapore’s policy and procedure short.

On top of those broader measures listed and the general level of public cleaning/maintenance, there’s reporting of every dengue infection diagnosed along with the individual’s home address and particulars to the National Environmental Agency. Cases and trends are monitored for developing clusters, publicly publishing up-to-date findings and exact numbers. Where a cluster is found, they do additional anti-mosquito fogging and significantly increase the local public awareness campaign (huge banners, posters in every elevator, distribute leaflets, etc).

They then send agents unannounced to inspect inside every home/unit in the area for any potential breeding grounds. Everything is checked from potted plant trays to dish drying racks to toilet bowl scrubber holders. If any breeding is found, there’s fines in the thousands of dollars. The agents are empowered to enter without a warrant; it’s taken THAT seriously.

The NEA also monitors and takes appropriate action against non-residential areas like construction sites, where standing water is hard to eliminate unless it’s a priority.
So the main qualification for being an Aldi executive is years of experience throwing people's groceries from one side to the other, never making eye-contact? And this translates to the skills required to run a multi-national business how exactly?

Don't get me wrong, sounds like a great deal for mediocre 'lifer' employees, but seems like a terrible deal for anyone bright (years stuck 'waiting the ranks' - or more realistically a massive brain drain for places that do let them 'walk into management'), or just corporate strategy in general (the skills required to run international JIT food logistics and the skills required to mop a spill in aisle 12 don't exactly have the greatest overlap.)
Flatseal is awesome. Don't know if I would be using Flatpak's sandboxing feature (or even Flatpaks at all!) without it.
>Haven't looked into this deeply, but isn't this basically a vernier pattern printed into a hologram?

I don't know...

But... possibly!

I just thought that the title sounded extremely cool: "holographic linear position encoder", what's not cool or interesting about that?

I did not know what a Vernier Pattern was prior to reading your post (and subsequently researching it!), so let me summarize that endeavor:

Google, when queried with "Vernier Pattern" returns as its first entry a Wikipedia page about "Vernier Scale":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

I asked Perplexity.ai if "Vernier Scale and Vernier Pattern" -- are the same thing...

Perplexity tells me that they are related -- but they are not exactly the same thing... Apparently (again, according to Perplexity) a Vernier Scale is a secondary measurement on a measuring device, and a Vernier Pattern refers to the physical pattern used to implement it...

Nonetheless, here is what should be a self-explanatory animated GIF showing how a Vernier Scale operates (from the previously mentioned Wikipedia page, above):

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Ve...

But, that's not the reason I'm posting the link to this GIF...

The reason I'm posting the link to this GIF is because the idea behind the Vernier Pattern / Vernier Scale -- might seem to potentially have some applications in other areas of Physics as well...

In other words, let's suppose we had two superimposed waves going in the same diretion of only the slightest difference in wavelength (much like the Vernier Pattern unit of measure is either slightly shorter or slightly longer than an adjacent measuring pattern...) OK, if that's the case, then note that the wave crests and troughs (much like the red marker at the point of intersection in the GIF) is moving faster -- than either of the two waves are, relative to one another...

An interesting effect, to be sure!

What are the potential future uses?

Well, we as-of-yet don't know! :-) <g> :-)

Anyway, great point about Vernier Patterns.

I learned something new!

Ask HN: What tool(s) do you use to code review and deploy SQL scripts?
Say you're an engineer that needs to deploy a SQL script to a production database; you need it peer-reviewed and (hopefully) approved by a chain of approvers who gate-keep production databases; what tool do you currently use?

I'm assuming you'll also need this script/change to go through QA and staging before it reaches Prod. The only tool I found, short of daisy chaining a bunch of GitHub actions, that does this is RedGate Deploy.

Curious to learn how y'all are achieving this today.
That's going a bit above and beyond a gemba walk, but certainly a good thing!

Port authorities are government entities that manage the ports they are not the people actually working on the docks.

Port authorities are run by government appointed officials.

I’d have no trouble believing organized crime infiltrated the people operating the ports, but do you have evidence pointing to significant problems with the authorities?
This is not a conspiracy, Iran is pretty open about their support of Hamas and Hizbulla. They oppose normalization with Israel, and fund and train the Hamas army.
I’d suggest you listen to the episode, and it’s obviously not about transferring grocery stacking skills to running a logistics company but steeping people on the culture of treating suppliers well, saving costs, paying above market salaries etc.

I think their success speaks for itself and people who want a long term, stable job are not necessarily “mediocre lifers”, which is a pretty ignorant thing to say.

Yup this is true -- it's common for very rapid weight loss to produce those same effects.

Maybe if they'd done it much more progressively (i.e. picked a less effective treatment method) then they might not have the Ozempic Face, but the attempts to stigmatize this/make it scandalous are silly in the media.
I can relate to this pretty strongly, although on a slightly earlier timeline. Went through a similar period of focusing entirely on coding in my teens and early 20s, always occupied by personal projects when not studying etc. Realized how much of myself I had cut off for that (and how little value it'd hold on its own) and started diversifying what I did in downtime, and now I seldom code outside of work.

I haven't outright dropped coding for personal projects, rather just that the singular task of coding doesn't define my down time. Instead I've picked up tinkering with electronics, building and playing with 3d printers, learning languages and drawing. I feel like as a result I've become closer to my idea of the kind of person I'd find interesting and attractive, someone who has a variety of aspects to themselves rather than just being defined by being a 'rockstar' at their job.

Initially I had worried that this would cause me to fall behind professionally, but so far that hasn't really been an issue, I still typically end up having tinkered with some new technology well before it becomes relevant professionally.
Lilja 4-ever. The world is a cruel place. People can be truly awful and many people have stories we can’t comprehend.
What is the purpose of this article? Is it to highlight that the IRS needs funding? Or is it to encourage people to not pay their taxes?

It's weird to me that people don't see paying taxes as a social obligation to support the country that a lot of people claim to love. Me, I have some major hesitations about this country, but I still at least due the bare minimum to support it because it often means that my tax dollars can support others.

I'm pretty convinced that tax day exists just so that political actors have a target to demonize the day the gov't comes and "takes your money." When in fact, the people who benefit the most from our tax structure (the wealthy) don't actually pay their share. But I think it's playing right into their hands to demonize this day. If you really want to stick it to Elon and Bezos, I think you have to pay your taxes to the best of your ability, and make the IRS' job easier so they have more time to get the money they're owed from the wealthy holdouts.

But I know I'm in the minority on this one.
Yeah, I completely agree. RISC vs CISC needs to be buried.

It’s interesting to hear stories from the actual designers of CISC chips, because they talk about the things that they did to try and make their chips faster and more useful. “Lots of addressing modes” is one of them, and it kinda turns out the future is to have fewer addressing modes.

And the reasoning for it is kinda interesting. Like, imagine that you have a memory indirect addressing mode, and decide to throw an increment on there for good measure. That’s cool and all, but most compilers never figured out how to generate those instructions, and you can get two page faults from a single damn instruction. Kinda makes it hard to deal with exceptions correctly.

There are also a few bad ideas that came out of the natural evolution of RISC doctrines. Non-interlocked instructions and hazards, VLIW for general-purpose CPUs, a few others. I think in general, if you expose too little of the details of how your CPU works you sabotage anyone trying to write fast code, and if you expose too much of the details, you sabotage your ability to ship a new CPU that works differently.
Nah someone down voted it. And yes, it looks like that + 20 others that are animated.

Those first two you can do in (modern) Java. The third is a mess to be avoided at all costs. Interfaces and lambdas will cover most reasonable use cases for polymorphism.
For anything that's not just "grab a camera and shoot the movie" the format that it is shot in is absolutely taken into account. I don't think you can separate the story from how the image is captured.
Wouldn't that be the original film?
I watched it in a theater with much better than NTSC resolution. VHS is only period accurate for things released straight to VHS.

I think that's just an artifact of how Workable doesn't really let you say "we welcome folks to from anywhere, based in the U.S., but also have an office in Madison if you'd prefer to work out of these some times"

As an aside: I've been interviewing candidates for this and other roles and it's surprised me how much it has come up from candidates that they miss having a place to go and work in-person with their coworkers and that they are looking locally for employers for that reason.
I kept and keep thinking how astonishing it is that such a good movie could be made in a single room.
>I use Emacs for note-taking, spreadsheets, calculations, to-do lists, calendaring, email, ...

Hey, me too. Or at least, I used to. I've done most of those things but you know what? There are specialty tools that do almost everything better than emacs does it.

Emacs calendar is inferior to Google calendar, thunderbird, or even Apple's calendar app.

Org mode spreadsheets pale in comparison to libre office and excel.

Emacs's email handling is straight up dog shit.

Doing simple calculations is better/easier in a python or sbcl repl than am emacs buffer.

Generation of static sites is easier, more flexible, and generally better dx with a shell script.

Actually writing text is better in vscode. It's more performant, for starters. Imagine a program in 2024 that locks up the GUI if you make a network request. Oh wait that's emacs. Embarrassing.

I've used emacs since the early 2000s and I am not afraid to admit VS Code is a better text editor than emacs.

I recall Cantwell being on the right side in the crypto wars in the nineties, when she was a congresswoman, so I'd be inclined to give her the benefit of doubt.

The Ear (1970), released in 1989. A Czech couple comes home from a formal dinner.

They fight like Liz and Dick in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, all the while knowing the surveillance van outside is listening in. It’s a great study in paranoia. Highly recommended.

>Is there really such a thing as a bad query that can be rewritten to give the same results but faster? For me, that's already the query optimizer's job.

I can't tell if your disclaimer covers it but, yes, there are lots of bad queries that take a little bit of a re-write and run significantly faster. Generally it is someone taking a procedural vs set based approach or including things they don't need to try and help (adding an index to a temp table when it is only used once and going to be full scanned anyways). That's outside the general data typing/generally missing indexes.

BBEdit is the default editor for me.

I say this has someone who has used BBEdit since around 1997.
