The west in Central Asia want natural resources, like China, partially like Soviet Union, BUT Soviet Union back than have created most of the local infra, bad maybe, oppressing people maybe, but still modernize these countries. The west have financed Arkadag, Innopolis, ... meaning giving much to very few and nothing for the rest.

Back than, hearing my grandmother stories (she have a political activity in Europe that link her to the Soviet a bit), all was Soviet Citizens, of course the non-Caucasian looking was discriminated, the child of Russian there got better schools and services, the locals got far less, but they was still free to learn and move, the western experiment have given exactly NOTHING for 99% of the locals and have instead exacerbated local corruption...

That's why many might dream an European future, but definitively not like being under the IMF rules, they even prefer a historic enemy, China, since at least the Chinese nowadays build a bit of infra, just to pick natural resources or link themselves to EU, but still creating something that give some breadcrumbs to the locals.

The western and middle-east economical initiative have only displaced people. That's how we lost an opportunity...
> I'm not sure what you are hinting at.

Probably the various ethnic cleansings that happened in the *stans at the fall of the USSR, where most more western ethnicities (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Armenians, ...) were at best swiftly & firmly reconducted to the nearest airport, and at worst killed on the spot.

I'm still trying this out, but I've been using Superlist [0] (no affiliation) for different projects. For me, having a single app that is both a Markdown document <-> todo app has been helpful. I'm able to jot down notes in greater structure and depth than in another todo app and interweave todo items throughout, which helps contextualize tasks a lot better (especially when working across different projects).

Reminds me of org-mode in Emacs - overall, I'm really liking the cross-platform sync and Markdown interface out-of-the-box.

What? What's a pretty severe nit pick. Especially for 30 year old C code.

They didn't have no gofmt back then. We are spoiled today with the extreme consistency :) the skill of reading code includes reading even when it deviates from one's own preferred formatting (within reason, maliciously formatted code can be challenging, to say the least).

I must respectfully disagree about this being an issue worthy of anyone's attention, especially yours and mine.
The language isn't forcing it, but idiomatic Java (and decades of Java-based university training) is. Pretty much every professional Java project I've ever seen is full of code like:

private Map<String, Client> clients;

public Map<String, Client> getClients() {
return clients;
}

public void setClients(Map<String, Client> clients) {
this.clients = clients;
}

Kotlin's approach, where you declare and instantiate a property, and the getter/setter/backing storage are synthesized for you, is vastly preferable to me:

public var clients = emptyMap<String, Client>()

What do you mean "fair"? To me the idea of free/consensual exchange (backed by court-mediated disputes and bankruptcy protection) most resembles "fair". If you like a service, use it. If you don't, don't. The (quite small) risk of falling through the cracks and ending up hard stuck is just something one risk-accepts when signing up to a service and maintaining important data there.

Your risk management is entirely your own concern. I would never want a paternalistic government dictating when and how I interact with the market. Why do you want to impose it on me?
Many hospitals never employ a single physician. Or next to zero.

Am a paramedic. All of the ED physicians in the Level 2 Trauma Center I take most patients to are not employed by the hospital, but by a collective called "XYZ Emergency Medical Providers". The hospital then (I don't know these details) contracts with the collective. I also believe, very similar to a union, that if the hospital wishes to hire a new provider, they may handle all the interviewing, but ask for the collective to hire them.
That statement is extremely short sighted. You don't need AI to do laundry and dishes. You need expensive robotics. in fact both already exist in a cheapened form. A laundry machine and a dishwasher. They already take 90% of the work out of it.

I find your attempt to defend the trajectory of the site very convincing and I withdrawal my criticism. Lets get more celebrity news up on the front page, like it used to be... The fact that there was one article about Michael Jackson within a few months of when I created my 3rd account is absolutely evidence of whatever point you are making.

I mean just look at all the articles about celebrities and politics and social policy: https://web.archive.org/web/20091207051053/http://news.ycomb...

Ask HN: Bootsrappers who were Software Engineers. How was your journey?
I am very interested in bootstrapping as at least from the outside it looks a lot more like what I want to do compared to what I am currently doing (Software Engineering for FANG). I have no aspirations of becoming a Software Architect/Director etc; and Bootstrapping just feels nice.

1. Did you already have revenue before you quit?
2. How many pivots did it take for you to get the 1st dollar?
3. How was revenue growth like?
4. Did you/ do you want to go back to Software Engineering?
5. Did you do it Solo or with a friend?
6. What's your story?
Employers systemically illegally discriminated against employees by falsely alleging that accommodating them with work from home was an undue hardship, and would just point at other employers not doing it to demonstrate this.

COVID forced WFH for business reasons and thus employers are no longer as easily able to illegally discriminate against their disabled employees since it's patently obvious that the accommodation is possible and it doesn't present some existential threat to a business to provide it. It's also that employers are simply more geared up to allow work from home and it's less of an actual burden in time and money.
There are several variant-resistant pan-Covid/pan-Sarbecovirus/etc. vaccines under development [1], including one by the US Army [2].

Vaccines are notoriously slow to develop, perfect, and test for safety and efficacy. The original Covid mRNA vaccines were developed at breakneck speeds as far as vaccines go. Unfortunately, much of the funding has since dried up.

In fact, it's HIV that's much harder to develop a vaccine for. HIV vaccine research has been going on for 40 years and hasn't really had any candidates that went beyond "plausible" until recently.

>and would be willing to let infrastructure and society rot in order to make a few more dollars.

In fiscal year (FY) 2023, the government spent $6.13 trillion.

The federal government spent $44.8 billion on infrastructure in 2023 and transferred an additional $81.5 billion to states.

That's a hair over 2%. Certainly you can imagine people wanting to cut the budget in other places.
// What "other things" is this wc2.c doing...

AFAICT, wc2.c isn't written to be an asynchronous state machine. It doesn't ever seem to transfer the control to any other place.

// So I find it hard to believe that this use of "asynchronous" is inside of what I would generally see it used as

Yeah, you are legitimately confused. The post talks about asynchronous state machines, but w2c.c isn't an example of that. I'm sure this gave you a severe case of WTF?!??

// thought perhaps it referred to a specific methodology for designing the code

It does---that's exactly what it is, a programming methodolog, or perhaps better put, a design pattern. But w2c.c isn't an example of code written using that methodology. Again, you are legitimately confused here, because the post talks about something and w2c.c isn't that.

Do you know python? If you google for "asynchronous programming in python" you'll get all kinds of blog posts and youtube videos which explain the technique.
Kelly's Heroes is one of the best war movies in my opinion. He played Oddball very well. Oddball's line about how his commander was trying to get them killed since Normandy resonated with me.

My dad was an infantryman in World War 2 in the European Theater of Operations. His war book had a lot dead listed in it. He underlined the ones he knew. One was a lieutenant. I asked my dad about the lieutenant and my dad's response was, "He was a West Point asshole."

Being in a war doesn't make one a hero. Mostly you are fighting because you have to and your goal is for you and your buddies to survive.

Sure. It also "just works" at the CLI. Sometimes I just want to test code quickly at the CLI. I'm not into "architecting" this part of my code as much as ES thinks I want to.

That's because this isn't the first time Hubble has been down to two working gyros. It happened before in 1999 (replaced a few months later), and they were worried it would happen again after 2003 when the Shuttles were grounded (actually got down to three/six working before replacement in 2009).

Regarding the first question, I've gone ahead and implemented random build orders, so at least the two Ls in HELLO will usually produce different animations (depending on random choices). Designing completely different glyphs for the same letter is quite challenging (finding these already took a lot of work).

> Well, is social media "speech" or "press"?

Speech.

> Television and radio stations need to abide by FCC guidelines

As far as the content restrictions, they only need to do so if they are broadcast channels (or cable rebroadcasts of broadcast channels), and FCC is constitutionally prohibited from regulating speech on cable-only channels. The argument for why they can do broadcast is the "compelling government interest" in policing the inherently limited broadcast spectrum, which (quite frankly) is pretty shaky precedent if you ask me.

> Another example: Tobacco advertising is severely curtailed

Advertising is commercial speech, which the government has much more powerful abilities to restrict than expressive speech.
NestJS is my go to and the reason why I haven't touched Sails in years, but it is more "Angular for the backend" than "Rails for JavaScript" imo.

but I probably should've mentioned it anyway since it has been my node backend framework of choice for quite a while.

I'm kinda with you on that though. I'm actually currently prototyping new services in DotNet Core and am really enjoying it so far.

The link suggests the opposite.

"While Tajik expatriates have some scant freedom of movement and residency privileges in Russia as compared to peers from most of the world outside the former Soviet Union, they have limited access to accommodation and credit, making settling long-term a complicated proposition.

Why do you dislike `require()` so much?

Just imagine a person who doesn't write modules in Node.JS, but he would like his small scripts to be placed in one JS-file - without any additional directories and `package.json`. His script, for example, updates data for a desktop widget, is easily bypassed by standard nodejs modules and he has hundreds of such scripts in his folder. Why does he need all this `import` overhead?

One of the justifications argued for non-profits is they "don't pay out profits to owners".

> Employers systemically illegally discriminated against employees by falsely alleging that accommodating them with work from home

If someone has a legally recognized disability that can be reasonably accommodated by working from home, that's one thing.

But there's nothing illegal nor discriminatory about companies having their workforce be in the office.
Your observation is in the right direction. And it's an entire ecosystem of these mis-behaviors.

- You know that someone in there will find "ingenious" ways to work around the goals or rules to be - in their mind - the good guy and go after some self-perceived bad guys. No matter that they will be the bad guys.

- They will find plenty of people to support them.

- There will be no repercussions. Perhaps promotion and a revision of the rules to make what they did acceptable.

- All communication regarding the thing will be tone deaf. Very consciously so, because the communication itself will be about "managing" the perception and employee mood. Not making it match reality.

- The manufacturers themselves are not stupid and know what they need to say and not say.

We have arrived at modes of operation that make trust impossible. Where you have to always second guess what that other person's goals might be. That's a problem (on top of the other problems.)
From looking at the code, the clever bit is how this is doing word count. (and word & line count at the same time). So yeah, it makes -l isn't better.
Even in his appearances in not-so-great movies you could tell Sutherland was trying to rise above the material.

One could argue that in an ever so slightly better society all jobs wouldn't require commuting because you could live near where you work. Most of commuting comes down to the other side of the remote work problem, people can only find affordable housing that's so far from their jobs that it requires them to commute.

Most people can't WFH. If the courts actually sided with that, the popular backlash would likely be so severe as to overcorrect.

I am unsure how that is relevant. The other poster was trying to paint China as an entity that did not war with its neighbors, and that seems false. If you do not like the topic of Tibet, then how about Vietnam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War) or Korea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War)? I am not saying if these acts were good or bad, but they did exist.
didn't trump change to tax limit donations to 300 now?
COVID acted like a coordinated forcing function. So it's unfair to claim that things would have been just as easy to move to WFH before COVID. Even the FAANGs of the world had to do a LOT of work to make smooth WFH happen, from working on optimizing capacity for teleconferencing software to actually making their corp networks work smoothly remotely at scale.

I have some experience with LLM, and they definitely do consider the question. They even seem to do simple logical inference.

I read that as cisgendered && (women || adolescent girls) && (16 <= age <= 25). Basically 'cisgendered' and the age range are describing all study participants which which are all either women or adolescent girls which makes sense to me based on how I believe these trials are generally constructed.
The difference is the language/standard in question neither originated with NodeJS nor is NodeJS now nor has it ever been led by the people behind the language/standard (unlike Python)...

When you hear "NodeJS", you really need to bethinking of it in the same category as IE (wrt browser behavior) or Visual C/C++. It's but one, often (knowingly/deliberately) quirky, non-standard implementation by a group that doesn't necessarily have your best interests at heart or the interests of those outside their own platform umbrella.
I think that’s a harsh take. Your last sentence is where the balance of the truth lies: COVID was a watershed event that ushered in new technologies and practices that have made WFH more viable and generally acceptable.

Sounds like solid napkin math. It true though, you don't have that happen unless a lot more people are farming and honestly, farming is valuable but the labor is not. Its better spent else where. I absolutely believe there are massive improvements to be made but I think they will happen with technology and more automation.
In Soviet case, the primary reason why people starved is because they have deliberately took away most of the food from the peasants to feed the cities. The cities didn't starve; the countryside did, which in turn prompted millions of peasants to move to the cities (and become industrial workers, which was the whole point).

> Nobody's trying to dismiss them

The parent commenter was absolutely trying to dismiss the core of the story by injecting an alternate reality into it.

> If they're not equally likely, I'm sure you'll have no problem demonstrating that?

The situation I'm referring to was not a simple reporting change. It involved employees quitting over bullying, and in one case there were issues severe enough that law enforcement became involved.

So, not, it was not a simple case of people reporting things differently. These problems did not exist pre-WFH at this company.

But if you're dead set on finding ways to reject this and substitute your own reality, I suspect even this won't convince you.
