I remember being surprised at how hard it was to read the source code for grpc Java. There's an incredible amount of indirection at every turn.

This made it extremely hard to get answers to questions that were undocumented.

It's a shame because I know Google can put out easy to read code (see: the go standard library).

> certain states (Washington was one, if I recall) argued that 6 billion dollars was such a pitifully small amount (relative to the damage done) that they declined to accept compensation

As the dissent notes, “all 50 state Attorneys General have signed on to this plan.” The holdouts were “a small group of Canadian creditors and one lone individual.”

I always thought of the Sackler carve-out as a scam. But the dissent gives me pause. This ruling trades restitution for retribution. In all likelihood, many classes of victims—such as small victims, small states and local governments—won’t see a penny, at least for years.

This looks fantastic! One thought, using Emacs' feature of file- and directory-local variables for the chart config might make for a more flexible UX. (For example, I might be generating the data files and not want to have to manually modify before charting, or I might have a large directory of data files that I'd like to plot at will without having to apply a header by hand to each.)

I just finished a mathematics degree (BMath). Not a single one of my professors was a teacher in the sense of a primary/secondary school teacher. They lectured for an hour, three times per week, and assigned weekly or biweekly coursework. They set midterms and final exams and they assigned all the grading to TAs.

Key takeaways:

* Mathematics is hard. Much harder than most other subjects (except physics which is mostly hard because of all the math involved).

* University is not like primary/secondary school. It is a place where you need to learn how to take responsibility for your own learning. Ideally, you learn how to become an adult.

Every one of my classmates began their degrees from a different place. They excelled in some areas and struggled in others. Many dropped out. This led me to believe that most secondary schools do not fully prepare their students to study mathematics. Having said that, those of us who did make it weren't exactly geniuses. Just people who got used to it.

"Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them." -- John von Neumann

I've been tutoring high school students in math (and other subjects) for 8 years now. One thing I'd like to add is that I can tell who will succeed at mathematics and who will struggle just by watching them work from across the room.

The students who succeed are the ones who can sit there and focus for hours at a time. The ones who struggle do so because they can't focus for more than five minutes and then start socializing. I think one of the biggest issues for people studying math is that they either can't focus (due to ADHD) or they have math anxiety which fills them with dread any time they try to study. This dread can be so overwhelming that they will do anything they can to avoid it, so they stop studying and do something else.

When I was studying math I was spending upwards of 40 hours per week working on homework. Although this is normal for anyone with a full-time job, it's an unfathomable amount of time to be studying math for those who struggle. This is really what it takes though. An unrelenting drive to figure things out.

Oh, you can say that again. Software engineers are often amazingly small-minded, and as a software engineer, it took me quite awhile to realize that.

> The other place we could go is law & policy -- really, the idea that training is "fair use" is wrong.

Especially since that idea that "AI" training is fair use is little more than a vigorous assertion by interested parties that hope to profit from it, and rests on self-serving false equivalencies.
Nah, the stock market is a good idea. Nothing about the idea of a stock market precludes holding owners responsible for the behavior of the company they own. Appropriate regulatory action against large, misbehaving corporations would make irresponsible investment a bad idea, and index funds less of a safe bet as a result.

The Supreme court case was specifically about the $6 billion dollars the Sacklers committed to the bankruptcy fund. And this ruling says they are not allowed to contribute to it.
But that argument also doesn't hold since Tesla makes a significantly higher profit per vehicle than Toyota. Tesla's profit margins are about 12%, whereas Toyota's are about 5-7%.

If what you're claiming were true you'd expect Tesla to be selling at close to a loss in order to gain market share, but they are selling their product at a pretty comfortable profit.

And the dream of Java everywhere is finally realized ... not by shipping a JRE everywhere, but by using Java-the-language and parts of the JRE as a high-level specification and ahead of time compiling it to other languages. The solution wasn't bytecode VMs but multiple implementations of a high-level language.

Is this a case of worse-is-better? I think so.
"Adds a build step" is just not a thing you notice in any way if you also use Bazel, which I imagine Google imagines everyone doing. I don't really agree with any of the complaints in this article since they are sort of vague and apparently from the point of view of browsers, whereas I am a backend developer, but I think there is a large universe of things to complain about with gRPC. First and foremost, it seems as though bazel, protobuf C++, and gRPC C++ developers have never spoken to each other and are apparently not aware that it is almost impossible to build and link a gRPC C++ server with bazel. The bazel people have made it impossible to build protobuf with bazel 7 and the protobuf people have made it impossble to use bazel with protobuf 27, while the gRPC people and the rules_proto people are not even in the conversation. The other complaint from the C++ side is that the implementation is now so slow that Go and Java beat it easily, making C++ people look stupid at work.

I installed Arch once, back in 2012, on my first laptop, which was the only computer I had back then.

When that laptop died I swapped the HDD into a loaner from a friend, only to swap it into a new laptop I bought a few months later.

When I grew tired of the HDD's speed, and could afford to, I bought a SATA SSD and cloned the HDD onto it.

When I upgraded to a more powerful laptop a few years ago, it didn't come with a SATA bay, so I cloned the SSD from my old laptop onto the NVMe SSD of the new one. Today, I run both laptops; the old one as a home server and backup and the new one as my main computer. Both run Arch on Wayland and KDE 6. The same Arch I installed back in 2012 with KDE 3.

I think the constraints have increased:

- we're not shipping a final product; this needs to change in the future very quickly

- we don't want to give you two years to build a feature. Build the start of a full product now and iterate with no break

- we would like a pixel-perfect custom UI instead of CLI or whatever Windows drag and drop UI builder would give us

- we want to run on multiple OSes

- we want to run on tablets and phones as well as desktops

- we want to have translation into every language and alphabet, rather than staying in ASCII

- we want cloud backups, and configured to the user-privacy compatible regions of the globe

Don't you think?
People will flag anything for any reason. Any reference in an article to gender, race or politics, regardless of the technical merits, is guaranteed to get at least a few flags. Articles will get flagged just because of the title, or the domain, or the grammar and tone of the content, or because the formatting used too much whitespace, or because someone decided a story just isn't "HN worthy."

That said, your link doesn't really lead to a substantive article discussing anything of technical or intellectual interest, which is supposed to be the minimal bar for any political submission (although as many people ignore that as abuse flags.) It's essentially an advertisement, which unless you're a YC partner is a guaranteed flag.

If I had to go by this article, I would have to conclude that behavioral science is indeed pure bullshit. Example: "Because the boiling point of water depends on altitude, you could take it to a very, very high place and the same calorific value might well boil the water." Or, with much less effort, you could put it on top of a burning stove. Claiming that bringing the water to the edge of space still counts as using only the candles isn't being clever, it's bullshit.

OK, shameful confession time here: I just cannot grasp flame charts, no matter how hard I try. And yes: that's just me, I'm dumb, etc. etc. (and I freely admit all of that, including the et-ceteras!)

I tried to follow along with things that are relevant to my job, like https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2016/09/05/etw-flame-graph... ...And totally failed? I look at the reddest part of the chart, I look at the peaks, and none of that matches the conclusion reached in the blog post?

And then I tried to grok all the knowledge conveyed in https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html and... came away similarly confused? Sure, I see patterns, but when asked to identify which of those patterns indicate problems, I would still score <50%?

And, I mean, I do memory/CPU traces like all day every day, and I fix code all the time based on that, but that's all just based on hierarchical bar charts, which are NOT the same as inverted flame graphs, as far as I can tell?

Anyway, thanks for coming to my therapy session, and feel free to leave your helpful-comment-that-will-finally-enlighten-me and/or downvote at the door.

I'm surprised people are siding with the restaurant owner here who's a millimeter away from just being a dick and making demands of a rando who he's not the boss of. Making "damaging my reputation" a thing just invents the very worst of copyright but for restaurants. The only thing objectionable about the interaction was the delivery app giving the impression they have a relationship with the restaurant when they don't.

Ask HN: How do I learn about Windows licensing?
Windows licensing is really complicated: I never know how much it's going to cost, how long it's going to take, for example, to install Windows 11 Pro on 80 different computers. Or it's not clear what the upgrade path would be from Windows 7 home to Windows 11 Pro. Is there something I can read or a course I can take so I can learn more about Windows licensing?
We also used to lock away basically any form of ASD or neurodivergence too far outside the norm (either directly via mental institutions, or indirectly via other harmful programs, mistreatment, or junk science). We also used to consider homosexuality a mental disorder. Moving forward is what society does.

Addiction is largely driven by neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, ASD, MDD, sleep disorders, and many more), psychological disorders (anxiety, OCD, and many more), or both in combination. Most folks don't want to be addicts. At the heart of addiction is executive dysfunction caused by the above conditions, exacerbated by stressors. You treat it like any other mental health problem: therapy, medication, support systems, and a society that cares for its populace.
One trouble with Excel is that it does an awful lot of different things but doesn’t do them well. If you try do use it to do what Pandas does it is shocking how small of a data file will break it.

The idea of incremental calculation of formulas that don’t need to be put in a particular order is still genius but the grid is so Apple ][. Maybe the world doesn’t know it because it spurned XBRL but accounting is fundamentally hyper dimensional (sales of items > $100 in the afternoon on the third week of February in stores in neighborhoods that have > 20% black people broken down but department…) not 2-d or 3-d.

Having the wrong data structures is another form of “garbage in garbage out”. I have though many times about Excel-killers, trouble is they have to be something new, different and probably specialized, people know how to get answers with Excel even if they are wrong, plus Excel is bundled with the less offensive Word and Powerpoint so a lot of people are paying for it either way.

Personally I want a spreadsheet that does decimal math even if there is no hardware support except on mainframes: I think a lot of people see 0.1 + 0.2 |= 0.3 and decide computers aren’t for them.
Behavioral science has lately shown itself susceptible to a great deal of BS! The defensive crouch is reasonable, and entirely earned in my view given the question of how much of the field's basis may well fail to replicate.

The usual advice to "beware the man of one study" may apply also to fields; especially through so totalizing a lens as behaviorism has always sought to apply, it can be hard to see things any other way, and that makes it difficult or impossible to distinguish a representation of reality from a limitation of perspective.

I have to agree with all of this. I tried switching to Gemini, but the lack of clear billing/quotas, horrible documentation, and even poor implementation of status codes on failed requests have led me to stick with OpenAI.

I don't know who writes Google's documentation or does the copyediting for their console, but it is hard to adapt. I have spent hours troubleshooting, only to find out it's because the documentation is referring to the same thing by two different names. It's 2024 also, I shouldn't be seeing print statements without parentheses.

> My main thing is the RabbitMQ dependency (that seems to be a topic of interest in this thread). Getting rid of that and just depending on PG seems like the main path forward that would increase adoption.

Yep, we agree - this is more a matter of bandwidth as well as figuring out the final definition of the pub/sub interface. While we wouldn't prefer to maintain two message queue implementations, we likely won't drop the RabbitMQ implementation entirely, even if we offer Postgres as an alternative. So if we do need to support two implementations, we'd prefer to build out a core set of features that we're happy with first. That said, the message queue API is definitely stabilizing (https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet/blob/31cf5be248ff9ed7...), so I hope we can pick this up in the coming months.

> You also compare yourself against Celery and BullMQ, but there is also talk in the readme around durable execution. That to me puts you in the realm of Temporal. How would you say you compare/compete with Temporal? Are you looking to compete with them?

Yes, our child workflows feature is an alternative to Temporal which lets you execute Temporal-like workflows. These are durable from the perspective of the parent step which executes them, as any events generated by the child workflows get replayed if the parent step re-executes. Non-parent steps are the equivalent of a Temporal activity, while parent steps are the equivalent of a Temporal workflow.

Our longer-term goal is to build a better developer experience than Temporal, centered around observability and worker management. On the observability side, we're investing heavily in our dashboard, eventing, alerting and logging features. On the worker management side, we'd love to integrate more natively with worker runtime environments to handle use-cases like autoscaling.

All i know is that they bombed Serbia, which did not wage war on any NATO country, for 78 consecutive days and more recently, destroyed Syria and Libya, which again did not invade any of the NATO countries.

Also it seems that NATO rebuffed Russia's attempt to join it. With Russia in NATO would have been the strongest defense alliance. I wonder why they wanted to keep Russians as perpetual enemies!
