A lot of neurological development happens between 18 and 24, college is not just a practical skills education, it's also a space you're allowed to practice being an adult while that neurological development happens.

Ideally everyone can go to college and the costs are manageable and the counselors there help people understand what their degrees might be worth to them at the end of the process.
>The inline blocking compilation step will still fuck your query

Only on the first execution, the long plan/jit time is usually only an issue when running a fast query over and over again.

However if plans where cached then you could also plan without jitting then background jit and update cached plan for next time which would be even smarter.

>I’d much rather they allowed bypassing the planner entirely and had an interface to feed plans directly to the executor

Other database have plan locking where you can load an existing plan from somewhere else in serialized form (XML) and force it to use that. Most of the time I prefer just a few hints in the query source solves almost all issue with the planner.
Presumably browsers could replace a paste with n “key down” and “key up” events, but I bet that causes other issues elsewhere and doesn’t seem like the right solution.

For the vast majority of the time I don't think the site's goal is even to "tell the difference" rather they implemented the form with the wrong event trigger instead of one that makes sense for monitoring inputs. You definitely want these other events in other scenarios so blaming the browser for having them isn't going to help anything.
I agree that intent is not relevant, but humans must be held accountable for outcomes.

> we're just moving the debt from the people who took it out and benefited from it, to other unrelated taxpayers who get stuck with the bill.

That's always the case, regardless of whether the debt is paid back later.

With government-sponsored loans, which are most student loans nowadays, the money is disbursed from the tax revenue and goes immediately to the universities and students to pay for tuition and other expenses. After the student leaves college, the loan is paid back slowly over many years. But note, crucially, that the identity of the taxpayers also changes over time. Taxpayers retire and/or die, new taxpayers enter the system, worker incomes change over time, indeed tax rates themselves change over time. It's never the case that individual taxpayer X is directly paid back for their tax money that went towards the disbursement in year YYYY.
But this is just a feeling, not reality?

The notebooks are OK, but I would be much more interested in seeing an actual iteration engine that demonstrated tool use at scale, and how to set up the processes working it.

Right now it's all "here's our array of context data", "here's our tool function" and a linear flow through the process. Very little error handling. No consideration for all the failure modes involved in reaching out to actual data sources. No consideration for network errors, timeouts, retries (oh yeah, because there will be a lot of retries), very little (to nothing) regarding validating data schemas except one Pydantic example that doesn't even account for retries very well.

Every notebook is a happy path. A short one, too.

I don't think it's at all unique to conservatives to believe that parenting is important. I would say conservatives tend to want to enforce (and sometimes preferentially support) "traditional" households, leaving up to people to self organize their support systems. Liiberals tend to want to accept households as they are but put in place systems to compensate for the specific conditions that might be suboptimal in a child's environment.

I'm biased, but I believe the liberal perspective takes a more open mind to letting people live the ways they want, under the assumption that this is likely to be locally optimal versus trying to coerce people into externally imposed lifestyles. I don't think it's controversial to say that two parent households correlate with better outcomes. But that doesn't mean that every family is better off that way. Some children are way better off if it's easy and unstigmatized for a single parent to get sole custody if the other parent is abusive.
Because Java's combination of performance, productivity, observability, and stability is unmatched. The average codebase lifetime of large, important server software is over a decade, so not only do you want the first three, but to get a good return on your investment, you also want the fourth (over time, different parts of the codebase will see more or less development, and you don't want to spend money on maintaining parts that you don't want to focus on). Now, it's true that the biggest Java shops, where new projects are regularly developed in Java, are traditional businesses like Apple, Amazon, Google, Netflix, Alibaba, Tencent, and other Fortune 500 companies -- companies that care a lot about the value (and cost) of the codebase not just in the moment but over time -- whereas smaller companies are more diversified in their language choice, but they, too, often adopt Java more as they grow.

Ignorant is a bit of a strong word here. The reason why people index on college so much is they are looking at the data...

https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2014/02/11/the-ris...

This is not to say that college is causal here, but it is a variable and at least one you can control.

The problem is that everyone wants to go to a nice college and live the dream. Nobody wants to do 2 years free at community college and then transfer to a state school even though the outcomes would be nearly identical as if you went to some high-end private university (ivy not withstanding). This is an entitlement problem, and the universities are exploiting it.

> The article wasn't saying "do what makes you happy"

I disagree. Quoting the blog post itself:

so stop optimizing for a non-existent audience and instead focus on what makes you enjoy the activity.

"Focus on what makes you enjoy the activity" means "do what makes you happy" in my parlance.

> Did you conjure the definition of "nice" and "good" in this context from thin air? No. You defined good by what others told you was good.

Absolutely no. I was always interested in visual design and set out to replicate what I saw and liked. I don't cater to anyone. My blog posts, coding style, and other things got negative comments, and I took note of them and thought about them, but I didn't agree with all of them, either. I only compete with myself and sharpen my axen the way I like. I'm chopping my own wood, so I don't need to optimize anything for others' wood.

In other areas of life, I have always chosen what to do, listen, watch and like. I don't yearn to fit in. In fact, I spent at least half of my life in a pretty opposite state.
It’s a scam targeting VC investors, not the public.

Instead of pitching a practical and attainable product, one has to aim for the moon in order to get the VC $$$$. The wilder, the better.

Call me crazy, but as a society we’ve decided that “possible” is too boring.

While many VC funded companies only want to get bought out (instead of actually being a freestanding successful company), I strongly feel there are a sizable subsection of “founders” that don’t even want to get bought out…

They only just want to play the game and collect high salaries along the way…

Sadly, they aren’t even to blame. Too many Fortune-50 executives just try not to embarrass themselves long enough to collect insane levels of compensation.

Is a wonder that VC founders do the same?

Too many startups are really just “playing house” — really flashy website, monochrome headshots of executive team, multiple officies, plethora of partner logos… Only missing substance and a real product.

External CSS in `<link rel="stylesheet">` has been used since the beginning of CSS and they are render-blocking by default (see https://web.dev/articles/critical-rendering-path/render-bloc...), so as long as CSS is small and on the same server, it won't cause FOUC. On the other hand, putting all the CSS inline in `<style>` makes HTML document download the same style on each reload instead of from cache. The best from both worlds is to embed a lightweight basic CSS stylesheet inline and the rest in cache-able external CSS files. What I am proposing is not to use JS at all, just pure CSS + pure HTML out-of-order streaming (e.g. https://github.com/niutech/phooos), which is very performant.

Where do you start learning these workflows, as in do you have any you would recommend?
With Java, they are executing it pretty well these days. Old code pretty much works out of the box, so you get the improvements for free.

Some language-level improvements are significant enough to get people excited (e.g. virtual threads).

And standard library improvements are pretty low-risk as well.
1. That exact behavior is what the criticized draft order does ban.

2. Unless the cell tower is already overloaded, that wouldn't even matter, would it?

3. Even if it is overloaded, if everyone is deprioritized, nobody would be. Even if they prioritized gaming, that's not going to noticeably affect anyone else.

The way I see it, even if cellular companies found a way to implement this, it would only affect people to the extent they're not already giving QoS priority to gamers. And gaming is pretty indistinguishable from a voice call anyway, so they would have to break that at the same time.

These are typically called "laser engraver" when you search for them but they advertise cutting features and cut well. 99% of them have a 5w laser diode, there are 10w and 20w models which just combine several 5w diodes somehow. Each one seems to double the price.

Searching for Comgrow, Creality Falcon, Atomstack, or Sculpfun laser engraver will get you pretty far.

Edit: I should add the more dishonest chinese sellers will advertise "20w or 40w laser engraver" and what they mean is the entire machine consumes 40w with a 5w optical output. Dont be fooled.

Show HN: My first web app, ExpertRank – LinkedIn but less social, more discovery
Hey HN!

I started coding about two months ago in mid-Feb and would love some feedback on my first web app – ExpertRank: https://www.expertrank.io

I’ve been thinking about how LinkedIn is great for social professional networking but not so much for quietly discovering real experts and talent through people you trust, so thought it would be a great first project to start with.

ExpertRank allows you to privately endorse the skills of people you know, and discover experts based on the opinions of those you trust. I’d love to get your take on this. What do you like about it? What’s not working? Any glaring issues or suggestions for improvements?

Also as I’m new to coding, if you have any quick technical tips or see obvious areas for improvement in the app's build, I’d appreciate that insight as well!

I know HN isn’t big on sign-ups for feedback (but the login was one of the first things I did) so feel free to use a throwaway email to create a dummy account if that makes you more comfortable :)

Really appreciate any feedback you can throw my way. Thanks a bunch!
Has anyone tried/does it make any sense to use a small model to get a first opinion, and then if it is unsure what token to emit next run a bigger model? It seems like a lot of tokens ought to be very obvious and not require as much computation. E.g. most words are split into multiple tokens, but most of the time in context after the first token for a word only one follow-on token makes sense.

For folks who don't know, would you be willing to elaborate? Is it a real degree (fully accredited, so you can actually use it?).

Even using residency status at a community college for your first two years, and then transfering in to a public state university, still puts the cheapest bachlors degree around here at close to $40k (not including room and board). (And for maybe half of the careers, you can't do this, and it costs even more)

There is a path to coexistence, but it needs to overcome a lot of malevolence present on the side of Arab nationalism and political Islam. Currently, violent extremists are setting the tone when it comes to public opinion, and the governements are somewhere in the middle between turning a blind eye and qctively promoting the hate. The right-wing hardliners in Israel also promote a similar dynamic, they are strongly opposed by the state establishment and most of the public, but it seems like the extremists on both sides make each other stronger while dragging the two nations to hell.
Yet, the kind of black and white thinking the villifies Israel and naively promote appeasement and pacifism with genocidial terrorists could only lead to a hugh storm of violence and suffering, that may or may not end with the destruction of Israel in the most violent way possible.

Egypt had 66,000 Jews before 1948.
A peace agreement was reached in 1979. Yet almost none came back to live in Egypt. Jews and Israelis were very afraid to live in Egypt after the peace.

Only in recent years A-Sisi started to do some work to replenish synagogoues and care for the country's very long Jewish legacy, probably as part of his policy against extremism.

A Two-State solution could work in some constellation. a one state solution I see as leading to massacre and banishment of most of the Jews in the land.
