You are simply wrong.

I've been a full time NodeJS programmer for fourteen years. Module isn't some pure theoretical concept. It is a file that exports something in Node.

There's a ton of 'maybe I need this file' in the world. For example, I have things that are polymorphic by instance. I grab a config entry to decide which of several modules are going to be used. The others are completely unnecessary.

You might say, just add a build step that chooses the right ones. To which I would say, Are you nuts? Why would I screw up a perfectly working paradigm?

One parent cancelling daycare during covid one year (lets assume they went back the next year) seems like a solved problem (they tried didn't work for them and went back to other method).

Parents leaving work early and not staying late because of kids is an office problem you didn't mention.

Employees using a personal discord sounds positive. Work relationships are building remotely. When employees in person become close they call personal cells and go to bars to discuss how clueless leadership is. Leadership isn't capturing those conversation why is it suddenly a problem if a discord is used?
What is the baby here though? What's the benefit to having all these entities be tax-exempt? Would it really be so bad for the likes of youth sport clubs to pay normal taxes on their (presumably tiny) profits?

I also wonder if this is a first salvo to get users to submit IDs before using online services. How do you determine if a user is a minor or an adult without some form of ID, right?
Oddly, while I think the approach is overly restrictive ( and it would drive a good chunk of parents out of the market ), there are some benefits to one parent doing some actual parenting. I think your characterization is harsh, but I am biased.
SAR = Synthetic-Aperture Radar. Radar bounces off of metal very well. Some strategically-placed radar reflectors, or a metal-lined fabric, could do it easily. It would also show up _very_ brightly on the resulting images.
I finished making a carpooling site a few weeks ago that automatches people into the optimal groups based on their location. My site might be a good use case for you: https://antride.ca/. Would appreciate if you consider using it to save people gas and carbon emissions :)
Completely agreed.

I don't get the appeal of Atkinson dithering at all -- it makes the noise more "clumpy" or "textured" and thereby inherently reduces the amount of detail you can perceive. I don't think that's something subjective.

And if you want the "richer contrast" that the article describes Atkinson as providing, then easy -- just increase the contrast of the grayscale image before dithering. Then you actually have control over whatever final contrast you want -- it can be whatever you want! But you won't lose detail the way Atkinson does.

Sounds like an excuse tbh. Esp when other companies are pushing ahead beyond OAI and open source is close to rivaling them
I don't intend for my one example to fit all issues. Just trying to point out there is more we can do than rely on government legislation.
The point is that you're probably going to have to mess with it eventually, and the amount of work that takes goes up the longer you put it off.

If you're talking a completely offline system that's basically a utility and doesn't even need security patches, then how many years of support the OS provides becomes irrelevant, because you theoretically don't need those patches anyway.

But if you're concerned with staying "technically up-to-date," as in "the vendor says it's supported even though it's X years old," then there will almost certainly come a time when you reach the end of the line and have to reconcile that with everything you didn't keep up with. (It might be after you're out of there, though.)
Solaris 10 with zones was amazing, I miss it.
_Wow_... I literally haven't thought of this movie in 25 years. I saw a bunch of trailers for it on TV as a kid and thought it looked cool but never got around to seeing it as I wasn't nearly old enough and forgot about it since. I might have to give this a watch tonight and close the file on it.
Similar but more historical, The Unix Programming Environment is a fun read, I learned a lot from it, and it's nice to have some historical context.

While childcare can be expensive, a "mother's helper" type nanny would be a better option if one parent can work from home. You still need to pay them a competitive wage but it's one person rather than all the admin and facilities overhead that a daycare has.
> quite self-evident: they live without, therefore they don't need it

Lots of people live without things others observe they need. Doesn't make going without a good idea.

> Companies that actually need SSO are the ones that have internal or external compliance requirements...

This logic is backwards.

Why do you think SSO is a "requirement" that security certifications or compliance policies look for? Why did that come to be? Who does SSO benefit? Are those personas relevant for only large companies or small ones too?

Do beginning drivers not “need” seatbelts or brakes? Or are these devices only needed to avoid tickets and pass inspection?
The point of Atkinson is that it's much faster than Floyd-Steinberg on old CPUs. Floyd-Steinberg requires multiplying most source pixel by a small number (3, 5, 7) and doing a right shift by 4. Atkinson is just doing a right shift by 3. On the original Macintosh's Motorola 68000, I could see Atkinson being more than twice as fast.

> No company has (nor should have) any mandate to "customer service" beyond what the market demands.

So I take it you're against Lemon Laws or other avenues of consumer protection?
Girl, a law that mandates you be able to turn off the feeds in favor of chronological is stopping using the feeds.

Also lol at "you're an adult" like that's how addiction works. Just get more willpower bro. There's a reason you have the option to ban yourself from casinos and the option to do so is mandated by law.
You're focusing on mechanical issues and ignoring social issues. You mention birdsong, and certain genres of music... what about your partner's voice? Your child's laugh?
Eh, some companies ( financial institutions, brokerages and so on ) may have regulatory requirements that puts onus on those organizations[1]. That is mostly the argument for keeping personal and work life separate, but that ship has sailed a long time ago.
Welp, I guess I'm calling it a day off
A Texas highway like Mopac often has 2 additional travel lanes if one is willing to get off/on the highway repeatedly and to make questionable usage of merging lanes. For years, this was the way to travel Mopac in stop-and-go traffic. Dunno these days.
Your comment suggests you didn't look into what this policy actually does.

It doesn't ban kids from connecting with their peers on social media or even from following popular (or esoteric) influencers.

It just prevents providers from algorithmically optimizing kids' feeds for engagement or whatever else, and adds some limits to when notifications are allowed.

Both are actually pretty modest and would seem entirely reasonable in light of what concerns you raised.
How to fix “AI’s original sin”
Dynamic import() is asynchronous. I have things that are not asynchronous.

To rewrite to be asynchronous gets me exactly nothing.

In work that is asynchronous, I use import(). It's fine. Also, it gives me nothing but, since that particular thing is already async, why not?

This is a terrible, badly thought out thing that was done by ECMA that harms a ton of developers and that would have been entirely saved if somebody had asked me.

I would have said, add importSync() and there will be literally no problems ever again.
"The wc program included with macOS and Linux are completely different. Therefore, the following table shows them benchmarked against each other on the same hardware."

Appears BSD wc ("the macOS program") is much faster than the GNU coreutils wc ("the Linux program").

It certainly illustrates a point about people rewriting wc in newer languages to demonstrate alleged speed against C.

Which wc are they using for comparison.

Pehaps they should use wc2 or wc2o.
Couple of days ago YT also killed 720p combined video+audio source (22), the only HD source older clients could play. Now its either newer YT player or 360p
Long before we started keeping more of our citizens locked up behind bars than any other nation on the earth "all that freedom" has been mostly just advertising, but the free speech is pretty nice.
The trouble is that things change too quickly for there to be a specific tome that everyone agrees is gospel. I think the closest you will get to gospel in this space are classic books like K&R C, which have very little to do with Linux per se.

Also, a "book on linux" is going to look very different if it's based on Debian as opposed to e.g. NixOS. Linux distros come in all shapes and sizes and no matter what level you're operating on (just using the GUI, light sysadmin, deep systems programming, down to kernel hacking), they may appear as totally different paradigms.

I would recommend simply daily driving Linux. If you're still using another operating system, ween yourself off of that. Additionally, there are a bunch of obvious projects that are low hanging fruit for just getting to grips with Linux. Want a personal website? Spin up a VPS or a cheap laptop and build it from scratch. Set up your own personal email. Get certbot running. Write a simple server in C that can do request/response of TCP. Write an i2c driver for some random micro you have lying around. Whatever you are interested in making/doing, just go do it.

Resist the urge to google everything. `man` has more information than you think it does.
It is not that simple.. Adults can also get addicted the same way and their crash radius is also larger. Unless we have a good way to either hold the platforms or the posters accountable, we are developing into a meme-driven society.
Yes! We just need better, more effective, more efficient courts, more capable of coping with the demand generated by an increasingly interconnected economy. Lemon laws are just a hack to paper over the side effects without addressing the root cause.

Edit: I see a world where small claims can be adjudicated online, not terribly differently from how lots of customer service works, with the added advantage of an impartial mediator and a clear process of appeal.
Syngas can also be converted to other products through gas fermentation.
> " or unless doing so is strictly necessary for the purpose of the website."

so this legislation is active unless the website needs it... toothless legislation, looks like a classic market capture law
I don't use Babel so I don't know what that means but I do know that I would not be rage-typing if they had simply made importSync().
My reading of the article is that because LangChain is abstracted poorly, frameworks should not be used, but that seems a bit far.

my experience is that Python has a frustrating developer experience for production services. So I would prefer a framework with better abstractions and a solid production language (performance and safety), over no framework and Python (if those were options)
I'm curious, if someone isn't willing or able to get tested in advance, is your judgement that they deserve to die of HIV?

South Africa has a double digit prevalence rate of HIV. Quite possibly many women get it the very first time they have sex, with their husband to be.

If they get it, is it just their fault and society should not make any effort to prevent that from happening or help them if they do get it?
Based on my experience with corporate accounting, this is all too likely.

I don't see any particular reason why retroviruses would be different in that regard: they need the cell they infect to live long enough to produce enough viruses, and it is advantageous to them that some cells they infect lay dormant and reactivate later (a trick not limited to retroviruses), but there's not particular reason why they should not overall act much like any other virus: keeping their host cell alive only long enough to produce enough new viruses to continue to propagate. It's an argument which you could extent to any pathogen: why would any disease kill its host?
Speculating about the shape of the potential energy surface of viral evolution is non-trivial.

I don't know enough (my retrovirus knowledge is out of date), but if you look at authoritative knowledge (IE, textbooks), you will see many non-harmless retroviruses:

- oncoretroviruses: as a side effect of how they integrate, they often cause cancer in patients. There is lots of time between infection and death for the virus to be transmitted.

- lentiviruses (this is also known as a "slow virus"). There is often lots of time between infection and death for the virus to be transmitted.

It's possible that scientists are avoiding directly attempting to argue with Deusberg's observations, but in general, the consensus seems to be that he brought nothing useful to the debate except irrational claims that were inconsistent with the evidence. We don't live in an ultrarational world where every fringe theory can be investigated.

As for Ioannidis... not sure what to say. I think his big mistake was going to the white house and trying to make Trump an ally and not shut down everything because he predicted the virus wouldn't spread and wouldn't be fatal at the rates that were later observed. Diseases like COVID are multidimensional problems with partial information and a high level of politics, corp, and media involvement. I think fauci and others have finally admitted that they may have made some mistakes in the specific details of the shutdowns, in particular, it took people a while to realize that the impact on children (who by and large are not at risk from COVID) was enormous.

If your goal is to affect public health policy, you have to be a truly 4D thinker, and even that's not enough dimensions.
OP: Although I'm not really in the target audience for this demo (I already knew all the punchlines), it does occur to me that it might be helpful to readers like the parent-commenter — and even perhaps thought-provoking to us know-it-alls — if you provided a mode at the end of the demo where the graph was in fact not three-colorable, and the computer actually would lie about its being three-colorable. So it would generate a "three-coloring" with a flaw somewhere, and display its representation as products of primes, and you'd get to choose two adjacent products and receive their factors... and so you could see for yourself exactly how long it took for you to luck into catching the computer in one of its lies.

And the demo could also tell you the expected number of iterations to catch the lie with (50/90/99%) probability. It'd be a pretty large number even for such a small graph, I'd bet.

(Of course the computer could also lie about the factorizations, since it's unlikely a human would bother to catch it in that kind of lie; but let's assume it doesn't ever do that.)

Neat. Is lowdefy sort of like React Admin (if they were all-in on YAML)?
I don’t think anyone can explain how exactly social site dynamics work, it’s highly chaotic. There are posts analyzing best time of the day, day of the week, etc. to post Show HN entries, you may find these somewhat useful. So, yes, it is mostly a random variable.

Other than that, I’ve noticed that tone and content do matter. For example, your current post has an annoyed, confrontational tone to it, which may reduce incentive to reply. It also feels rushed, eg you mention your product and do not name or link it (I assume it’s ThreadQuilt that you’ve posted a number of times recently).

Quick decline of interest is common: you commonly hear about a movie that opens up number one in the box office but immediately drop down next week, similarly with some albums. AFAIK, most sites announced on HN see a drop off of HN traffic after they get picked up; this is inevitable, but usually it should take a few days (or 1-2 weeks for better products). The fact that your traffic dropped very quickly may show that the idea was gimmicky: it sounded good but either was not well executed or did not have the expected value.

Looking at ThreadQuilt I’d say you have both factors: it’s a very basic site pulling, it seems mostly from Reddit. The summaries a well formed grammatically but have epsilon value, ie they don’t replace reading the thread in most cases. Rather than the summary a better way would be to display a few top comments, for some measure of “top”.

I hope that helps.
And this is caused by wfh and doesn't happen at the office is the point you are making? We must stop wfh and that will reduce bullying?

I don't think you can generalize that to other companies or even other departments at your company.
The way I see it...

If we subject churches to taxes, then if you church is paying a significant chunk of money to taxes, then your church is not spending the money on charity like it should be.

If your church is spending the money it receives, that spending is deductible. Spend it and you won't pay a tax.
I don’t want a quote. I want pay-per-usage. If I get big enough to demand a discount, we can talk about prepaid credits. I’m not scared of multi-variate pricing - I’m an AWS customer, for goodness sake, I can handle that quite well already.

Actually, AWS has a call center offering, and look! Self-service activation, usage pricing right there on the page, even a free tier to try it with — or of course you can contact sales if you want to. How do they do this? Their technology isn’t from the early 2000s.

(And giving a customer a quote so they don’t have to understand the product? That just sounds like a bad idea all around…)

Some folks try to orchestrate the whole operation by a higher level prompt that essentially uses function calls to more specific prompts.

Versus just using the LLM’s for specific tasks and heuristics / own code for the orchestration.

But I agree there is a lot of anthropomorphizing that over states current model capabilities and just confuses things in general.
It's dated 2012. I doubt anything has changed.
I've seen a lot of stuff recently about how LangChain and other frameworks for AI/LLM are terrible and we shouldn't use them and I can't help but think that people are missing the point. If you need strong customization or flexibility frameworks of any kind are almost always the wrong choice, whether you're building a website or an AI agent. That's kind of the whole point of a framework. Opinionated workflows that enable a specific kind of application. Ideally the goal is to cover 80% of the cases and provide escape hatches to handle the other 20% until you can successfully cover those too.

As someone new to the space I have zero opinions of whether LangChain is better than writing it all yourself, but I can certainly say that, I at least, appreciate having a proscribed way of doing things, and I'm okay with the idea that I may get to a place where it no longer serves my needs. It's also worth noting that the benefit of LangChain is the ability to "chain" together these various AI links. Is there a better easier way to do that? Probably, but LangChain removes that overhead.

Very often "women" and "men" in medicine refers to adults, i.e., 18+.

Likewise, we use the term "girl's/boy's" tennis in high school but "women's/men's tennis" in college because most people in high school are under 18 even though they are "women" and "men" in many relevant senses.
Documentation and comments mostly. Project goals, methods, status, reference documents explaining all components in detail. When developing try whenever possible to lead by writing tests that demonstrate a feature is actually working. When coding lay everything out with comments and then fill in the details with actual code.
I wanted something as close to paper as possible, but with tracking etc. Couldn’t find it and built my own :)

The term matters to the study, because they were interested in a comparable group of women. I don't expect HRT is realistically available in that area, so they're just reporting that they didn't need to deal with that complication.

There are a lot of arrogant people in Javascript-land. If you look at the number of imperious attitudes in this thread ("you misunderstand what a module is"!!), it's very bad. But it's also endemic of the attitude that got us here.

ECMA has done a bunch of things that are all swell for fancy people which ignore the main Javascript virtue: It is (used to be) comprehensible to the average Joe.

For adults, a better solution is to give users more active controls over the feed and its addictive elements. For example, the ability to remove kinds of content (“not interested”), put hard limits on minutes per day (Screen Time), hide Like counts, reduce notifications etc. Lots of other ideas have been proposed for putting users in control of their feeds and limiting dark patterns that promote addiction. If we’re regulating, I’d like more regulation requiring social media platforms to implement these.

I tested positive for COVID last weekend, was out of action for three days and spiked a 40.3C/104.5f fever. It was worse than when I got it three years ago.
