At the time I was working on a prototype of what would eventually be open sourced as Cronet, which was Chromium's http stack repackaged to be embedded in Android apps, so I monitored chromium bugs in the network stack component that mentioned android.

Cronet is still around, now open source and as far as I know is still the best all-around network stack for Android apps - fast, secure, supports modern protocols.

Can confirm, bought a pair of jeans from Bullseye Deals on eBay for under $9. It was the same as the in-store Target brand (Goodfellow & Co.), same tags and everything. One of the most comfortable jeans I own.
For any project that you depend on that has opted into the NPM quagmire, you really should be running `git add --force ./node_modules` and periodically pushing a copy of this to a branch/repo that you control instead of depending on upstream, since most projects that ostensibly use Git tend to thwart its entire raison d'etre—hobbling its ability to do effective version control by abusing .gitignore for their overlay VCS of choice (i.e. the "package manager").

Oh, absolutely. I've never been married, but after my SO died, it was over a decade before I started dating again because I absolutely hate that part of starting a relationship.

Thanks for the shout-out!

@halotrope, would be happy to chat, you can find my email in my profile.

P.S, congrats on the launch!
I used to work for someone who believed in 'bringing everyone into the room'. It was fine when that meant a team of 7 people, but he got promoted and kept doing it with 25 or 40 people, mostly irrelevant and mostly unheard. He once scheduled a meeting "in case anyone had something to say". It's probably clear that I didn't find him effective.
I expect that we will move in a direction that all proof. Not just steps is done by computers. The human input remaining is just to ask it what to prove.
They were joking along the not quite paradoxical lines that it would then apply to itself and be an anti-pattern.
That looks like a misspelling of "Immortel" to me
Right, but there are a lot more non devs that use windows, probably 100000:1 ratio.
Mods should prevent flagging on one of these posts so that those of us who want to discuss it are able to.
I never want to categorize stuff. I want it done for me.
"Maybe using a general-purpose programming language instead of just SQL is overcomplicating it," said I every day of my life for the past 25 years. Oh well. You can't fight City Hall.
It does that because you've ignored weeks of pop ups saying you need to update.
This is cool. I'd love an option to make the output elaborate more, if I'm interested in a topic it's a bit disappointing that I can only read a few sentences. Other than that, nice work!
This is what I found hard about Haskell. It's so tempting to DRY to such a phenomenal degree, but then the slightest requirement change somewhere in the middle breaks some abstraction and bubbles all the way out. It's almost like how a zip encoding of two files that differ by one byte could be completely different.
> Operation Neptune

Oh man, I played the heck out of that game, but somehow I keep forgetting it existed. (Unlike, say, Myst or Wing Commander.) I think I beat it, but if so I'm suspect it might have involved a lot of trial-and-error regarding math questions I wasn't ready for.
So you are saying there's no case against him and that he didn't commit the felonies?
I've come to believe that the "right" way to do things now is alternating smart / dumb layers.

If you have two smart layers adjacent to each other (and GraphQL is a smart layer) then the interconnection between the two and the conflicting abstractions of data becomes an issue.

By having something dumb (REST endpoints) between the business layer and the complexity of the front end, it is possible to have reasonable abstractions writing to the REST endpoints and an abstraction of the payloads that the endpoints provide into what is needed in the front end application.

It seems that GraphQL works best when the backend has minimal business logic and the thing that is calling GraphQL likewise has minimal logic -- and all the logic is contained in the GraphQL query itself.

But if you're finding complexity in getting things into GraphQL and manage permissions and mutations... or you've got the complexity of the front end where the data model the front end needs to work with doesn't align with the GraphQL model ... then you've got complex solutions abutting each other and those spots is where the pain will be found.
I dont know anything about Gödel incompleteness, but of course some opinions are more and less "valid" than others. Some topics are also closer or more distant to the individual. There is no reason to assume equality.

I can have a valid , well informed, and even actionable opinion about what my wife would like for dinner.

Inversely, my opinions on what happened behind closed doors between PG and SamA in 2019 isnt informed, actionable, or generally useful.

To the extent my post could be seen as critical of opinions(which is I think where you draw the irony from), it wasnt critical of holding just any opinion, but holding a certain class of poorly formed and completely unnecessary opinions.

From the outside you might think that this itself is useless navel-gazing, but I have found it to be actionable. It has helped me to question some of my own compulsive behaviors.
> This must be due to increased state and local taxes

I don't know if it matters all that much why prices are increasing for everything, whether it's inflation, corporate greed, new/increased taxes, or whatever else

The fact is people are getting squeezed from a lot of directions, and meanwhile we're reading about record corporate profits, many companies are doing massive layoffs, and raises aren't keeping up with expenses
> Getting shot by a handgun is not like getting shot by AR-15. Even at the same caliber the muzzle velocity of a modern rifle makes the bullet that much deadlier.

Yeah I should have been more clear about my thoughts on this, my apologies.

Rifle rounds are unquestionably more deadly from a ballistic standpoint but at close range (25 yards or less, just for the sake of hypotheticals), before handgun round velocity falls off enough that they are ineffective, shot placement and how fast you can stop any bleeding matter much more than ballistics.

There aren’t many mass shooting events I can think off where it would have made a big difference if a pistol caliber had been used instead of a rifle caliber - it definitely would in cases like the Las Vegas concert though. That wasn’t an untrained teenager though so it might be outside of the scope of discussion anyways.

> I understand we're dealing with shades of gray here. It's about making a policy tradeoff between how many legitimate uses a weapon type has (for example home defense, farm use, hunting) and how many victims it claims.

Agreed and thank you for your very reasonable response.
> When I asked him about this, he said, "I have this philosophy that says if you only have two similar things, it's best to write separate code for each. Once you get to a third, then you can think about refactoring and making some common code."

There is also the angle of when eventually the third usecase comes out, how much willingness/buy-in is going to be there to make changes to the running code for the refactoring?

Quite often than not, nobody wants to take the risk for the sake of introducing DRYness and you end up with three copies.
Yes. As that's an average. Compared to others that went to competitive universities, it really isn't much more. It's also more triangular with even mainstream names having higher top ranges and broader bases than, say, FAANGy technology.

Equities in Dallas is a big reality. It's highly ageist. The lustre of Wall St or The City wears out after a while, Docklands like New Jersey is ghastly. Some get out and cut Connecticut hedges or polish pearls in Bond St, some make pizzas. Asia was fun in the 1990s, apparently.
Yes if it was applied equally Trump would have been sitting in jail long ago.
Who is going to get you in trouble for this. The “warehouse police” don’t exist.
How is it lawfare when the suspect is guilty? If anything I hope this brings fewer criminal politicians. And more consequences for them.
Yes this is a landmark case, clearly it’s fit for HN consumption regardless of being political.
Why should it matter to me what some people choose to do as long as there are good alternatives?
tl;dr - New emissions standards reduced sulfur dioxide emissions from cargo ships.

The emissions were seeding reflective white clouds that were offsetting up to half the temperature increase that would have occurred without them. Now all that warming is happening at full strength.

Great topic, why bury it in verbosity?
isn't encoding a requirement in the type applying DRY as well then?
> My best managers have been engineers.

Right. The other comment said that people don't move into management because they are a great engineer. That doesn't mean managers haven't been engineers.
I got an office chair that supposedly was $1000USD new.. it was many years used, but I really liked that chair. It had steel construction, swivel and almost no "rocker" tilt, wide base seat almost flat but with a seat cover that was just right.. it was square box'y basically .. shorter answer, do not use a cheap chair really.
Well. This sounds like it will be exciting to upgrade to.
It does what it says on the tin and it is not in any way inferior.

What's the problem again?
How was it politically motivated? He was guilty. If anything is politically motivated it's the Florida judge appointed by Trump delaying his secret document stealing trial past the election.
I think the problem I am talking about is more likely to come up if you ask a question which isn’t directly about who is the current President, but rather some other issue in which the President just happens to be mentioned.

Suppose hypothetically Trump wins in November, and on 2025-01-20 he is sworn in. On 2025-01-21 I ask it some question about a policy issue. It finds some articles from mid-2024 responding to the question. Those articles talk about “former President Trump” and its background knowledge says he is a former President, so in its answer it calls him the “former President”. Except (in this hypothetical) as of yesterday that’s no longer correct, he’s now the current President.

Whereas, a reasonably well-informed human would be less likely to make that mistake, because if Trump is inaugurated on 2025-01-20, you expect by the next day such a human would have added that fact to their background knowledge / long-term memory, and if they read an article calling him “former President”, they’d know that would be an older article from before his return to the White House
Kind of sick of this liberal view, when they're generally so in favor of trusting an individual's intuition and "lived experience" but when it comes to economic "lived experience" it's completely ok to reject and outright mock it.
I'm not sure how they jump from correlation to causation.

Like maybe having classmates who have a disorder means, just for a wild example, there's some contaminant in your local water (several have been linked to mental disorders), and that you're also drinking that water and that you may or may not be diagnosed with that problem for decades.

I also think it's possible that seeing people around you being comfortable acknowledging the ways their brain acts differently may make others more comfortable getting a diagnosis. To justify a conclusion this big I feel that you'd want clearly prove that it's not diagnosis that's contagious but the actual disorder.
Coincidence?

I would assume so.

Reddit apparently launched some new "achievements" thing today. I've been assuming it's related to that being rolled out.

New features typically involve some new bugs.

I can comment, but can't see my "comments" section.
Yeah, really. Naming things is one of the n+1 Hard Problems of Computing.
That analogy always bothers me, because you absolutely can increase throughput in your ..'business' with more women; an established ..'pipeline' of 9 women will produce one baby every month.

(There might be an off by one error there if you want to take it too literally; even aside from the variation in gestation period. Point is it is a parallelisable task, whereas the whole point of MMM is to argue that it's not parallelisable, that you can't increase throughput with more resources.)
Its not. They don't store the raw IP packet data, instead they store the metadata (this was revealed in a leak a long time ago), like the type in this article (data source and destination, timestamps, size of the data, etc.) the metadata is orders of magnitude less data than the raw packets and likely easily compressible, so I wouldn't be surprised if they keep it all for a decent chunk of time.
I might be thinking about this the wrong way, but with GraphQL you're writing a query (in the GraphQL syntax) on the frontend which gets whatever data the frontend needs for whatever it's doing, and that query is interpreted by the backend to fetch specific data. But if you're whitelisting specific queries, which has to be done on the backend, what if you just move the queries themselves to the backend, and call them from the frontend by specific names for shorthand? And then from there, what if you refactored it so that each "query" was just a function with an associated endpoint?
Why would it take a Pop III star longer than an equivalent-mass Pop I or II star to reach the end of its H / He fusion cycle?
For it to really be "decided" SCOTUS would need to weigh in. Case law is is as you say based on precedent. And the higher the court that decided the stronger the precedent. A conviction that hasn't even started the appeals process isn't much to go on.
Careful, apparently not wanting your mind polluted with psychological manipulation makes you a filthy communist..
I agree with this but wondering if you intended to reply to someone else
Reminder, too: an estimation above was based on voters.

The United States (assumed, quoting census.gov) doesn't have compulsory voting. We have a lot of ballot opportunities. "Voters" is vague at best.

Points being: participation often ends up abysmal. I mention this because it's also suspect/misleading - intentional or not. Posting down here to not appear as a criticism. I'm lacking facts too.

Counter-intuitively... voters as a category lose each of our elections to non-voters; outnumbered like 2:1. A majority of a minority is doing better - yay!

I should verify this, but I'm here rambling instead. Someone may check/correct me :)

Trick is, the non-voters implicitly cast no vote. They're probably in substantial numbers, doing the same or worse, and yet don't "count" in this hypothetical.

I need to make sense of the rest of the claims, but I know this: I was making $160k. It stopped feeling like the lucrative amount it was.

I had to get a significant raise to be comfortable with no new costs - only the same, expanded. I didn't choose for everything to cost more.
Note that this comment once again diverges from the truth. The war measures act has only been used once in the last 60 years (1970 October Crisis), and was repealed in 1988. You might have (intentionally or unintentionally) confused it with the Emergencies Act, which was used in 2022. It's much more limited, specifically requires governmental action to be in line with the charter, and requires review by parliamentary committee and a public inquiry following any usage.
Um, wow. These are really, really good. They are not perfect, but the improvements on fidelity, open mouth, eyes over a GAN-based approach are .. real high.

This is the first paper I’ve seen with videos that compare a person with a re-render side by side, and it’s a nice way to see what the model’s good at, and what it’s not.

Some perf numbers (which they say are unoptimized): 30-60 hrs on a 3080 for the avatar model, and rendering in the 20-40fps range on the same hardware. Basically good enough for a commercial implementation. They don’t mention latency of the CNN side that I can find, which is obviously a big question for chat scenarios, although not a big deal for pre-rendered scenes.
I almost exclusively use Apple News+ for the audio stories, which are now also available in the Podcasts app. I love to read long form articles but finding time to read is challenging. Instead I listen to them while working out or commuting.
He paid off a woman whom he had an affair with to not talk about it during the election. That is election tampering. He then falsified business records to cover this up. It’s a classic political coverup and bribery case.

I doubt it would have made a difference with his cult but who knows.
Couldn't an effective theory/mean-field theory have almost any emergent behavior depending on the underlying configuration space/system? Kind of like how one can build a domain-specific language out of an expressive enough underlying language it's implemented in
I was initially excited by Apple News+. $13/month for access to a wide array of newspapers and magazines. Imagine my disappointment to learn that this paid "premium" service is plastered with ads. Adguard mostly blocks ads in Safari so it's no use in the News app. I wonder how much of this subscription growth is from bundling News+ into Apple One.
Which of Trump’s rights were violated for SCOTUS to grant cert?

Otherwise, this is legal case law today which will be referenced in the future no doubt.
I have, and haven’t come away impressed. I have in fact done this multiple times. perhaps this doesn’t work with actual complex analytics and stuff? DuckDB doesn’t even do proper SIMD for example.

To be clear I have used Duckdb in some serverless ideas and it has worked well, but nothing has bet hyper optimized engines like snowflake and redshift.
Have you tried asking the llm to elaborate? There’s message box.
They learned from Microsoft's mistake and most browsers run off the Chromium while they have Firefox by the balls with their default search engine deal. Not to mention Firefox is hellbent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
But it's not selective. Because someone finally prosecuted him. Letting him get away with it because he's rich and because he's running for president while locking up others for lesser crimes would be selective prosecution. If we can't even convict trump how can anyone in our society trust the rule of law?

play the cards you’re dealt

I’ve looked at many founders I considered successful, and they all had some card to play that others either: no longer could because the law changed, a relationship nobody else had, or was outright illegal but didn’t matter

I would say that there are no rules, only consequences. Or, the consequences are the rule.

It seems to dead-end unexpectedly on some topics. For example, I delved "path tracing" -> "importance sampling" and it output a section on probability distribution functions (PDFs) but didn't offer any links to explore those further.

Highlight-to-delve would probably fix that.

One thing that I don't think gets recognized enough is, at least in my experience, how supportive the different BEAM language communities are of each other. As someone that spends time with Elixir, I find it encouraging for the whole BEAM ecosystem when I see some key people involved with Erlang commenting in and being generally helpful to people in the Elixir community over at the Elixir Forums with some frequency.

I know when I'm thinking of the ecosystem, I really think if it more in terms of the broader concept of the BEAM as being "the ecosystem", that common thread, rather than just Elixir, or Erlang, or LFE, of Gleam individually.
