Bear in mind I am pro code review, but...

There is a trick in pharmaceutical research where you test a potential candidate drug against placebo to yield a bad study that seems to show benefit. The reason it is a trick is because in many cases the alternative isn't placebo, it is an existing treatment. Then doctors learn about a more "modern" treatment, favor it for being modern and the better treatment may not be prescribed.

The alternatives to code review aren't doing nothing. The article claims that code reviews find a defect per 10 minutes--but only in the first ten minutes. By this same argument (ignore qualifications, extrapolate the numeric result), fast automated testing can potentially find thousands of defects in a second--if they run that quickly and the defects were already tested for. Static analysers, pair programming, documentation these are all alternatives and there are many more.

If you're spending an hour a day reviewing code then you are spending 12.5% of your time doing it. Using it that way comes with an opportunity cost that may be better spent depending on your particular organization and code base. Of course, analysing everything to death also has an opportunity cost, but not analysing it generally leads to moving goal posts where the supposed rationale for doing something keeps changing. Today its purpose is uncovering defects, tomorrow it is knowledge sharing, the day after it is security. It is all of those things, but other practices may achieve these goals with more effective use of time and people's patience.

So why am I pro code review? Because choosing to interact and work together as a team, to learn about and compromise with your colleagues makes for good team building while serving other technical purposes. I do think that pair programming can achieve this to a greater level while also being more taxing on individuals. This assumes you control the process and own it though, if it has just become a rote ceremony then my feelings are you probably aren't net benefitting from it: you are simply doing it because you have no choice, not because you believe it to be a valuable use of time. If you have experienced both, a culture where people choose and find value in code reviews and a culture where people are forced to do it unquestioningly, then you may have witnessed how a dicta can destroy the prosocial value of a practice.
It sounds like Pokemon. "Weaver used Tapestry... it's super effective! Concluder fainted".

Do we really need _another_ simplistic model that puts every human into two distinct idiosyncratic categories with the purpose of revealing some supposed underlying human nature? No. We definitely don't need another one of those.
Show HN: Remote or Not – find the remote work policy in your next company
Hey HN.

I maintain a crowdsourced website called Remote or Not. This website collects up-to-date information about remote work / WFH policies across many companies.

I thought you might find it useful. Feel free to contribute and/or provide feedback.

Hi,

I'm currently exploring game development and would love to contribute to your team as an intern. Although I have no prior experience in game development, I bring over five years of experience as a FullStack JavaScript Developer, with strong skills in UI/UX design and a passion for learning new technologies.

Could you please let me know if there are any internship opportunities available?
I am very interested in MaFi Games.

Thank you for considering my request.
I fixed a few, but it's going to take a long time.

The internet archive aggressively rate-limits, so just finding one image or archived site takes a lot of patience. :(
Hikikomori: Why S Korea is paying young recluses to leave home
What if there is a primary cause, and brain trauma is not it? Seems pretty likely that the issue is psychological in nature, otherwise contact combat sports and eg rugby/football would show similar incidence of suicide. I can see how after a couple of years of high intensity combat civilian life would feel like a complete waste of time and a road to nowhere.
This reminds me of the movie Concussion (2015) with Will Smith, which is about a similar pattern of brain damage and suicide in football players.
I guess I could add 2 helpful features:

- autocomplete for note name when `[`
- if there's note `foo` and `[foo]` in markdown block, Ctrl + click could open to that note

Learnwise.ai | Junior-Mid AI/ML/Backend Engineer (fulltime) + Junior-Mid QA engineer (part-time) | REMOTE (EU timezone if freelance contract OR Spain/NL for employee contract) | 2-4k/month

We build an LLM-based conversational assistant deeply integrated in the Edtech ecosystem. Aim to relieve teachers and admin workers of tedious "easy" questions so they can focus on important cases. Moving towards knowledge management and course support.

Early startup, small, tightly knit team (5 engineers, 2 implementation/process-focused folks, 1 sales guy, 1 marketing gal, 1 chill product-centered CEO). We're slowly scaling and expanding.

Stack (not crucial but you should at least be proficient in python):

- FastAPI python backend
- MongoDB
- Langchain for the AI aspects, slowly moving away from it
- Next.js (react) frontend
- AWS

We have two open roles. Common requirements: excellent spoken English, a generalist/"get things done" mentality (we're a small startup), and sufficient drive/curiosity to figure things out (and build them/fix them) on your own - we don't micromanage.

- Junior/mid AI/backend engineer: you'd start off supporting me with developing the AI aspects of the product - for now, mainly the conversational interface. This isn't a purely ML position; for now lots of the work is SWE/back-end dev. Projects on the roadmap: migrating away from Langchain, building robust testing and observability for LLM performance, experimenting with and improving the RAG pipeline, fine-tuning/distillation where relevant to reduce latency/costs.

Experience requirements: ~masters level education in relevant field (doesn't have to be a masters/formal education, but you need to convince us you have an equivalent level of experience/understanding) & 1y of full-time relevant work experience (can be as student job)

- Junior/mid QA engineer (part time, can be negotiated). Two main aspects to this:
1. Improve and expand our back-end tests; in particular, add E2E and integration tests
2. Manual QA as part of our release cycle, which you will then slowly automate with browser automation tools (selenium).

Experience requirements: ~bachelor level in relevant field & 1y+ of relevant QA experience OR ~3-4 years of highly relevant work experience.

And the huge population movements, cramming exhausted people together in dense and often unsanitary conditions, characteristic of 20th century warfare are ideal conditions for.. guess what?
They went full retard on politics and decided climate change isn't a thing. Or if it is, it is someone else's problem. "Look at the huge emissions of China and India - nevermind the CO2/Capita numbers that makes us the bad guy".
Meetup triples subscription price with less than a months notice
Meetup.com just wrote me (and probably all other subscribers), about a price change: from 29 to 99 USD for the six-month subscription!
My community has over two thousand members and I'm pretty sure it's partially because Meetup.com is such a well known platform. But our community was always non-profit and I don't think this can work for us anymore.
My bet is on a high threshold. There is no evidence for this at all in small arms enthusiasts.
I really do not want to see how all of this plays out, but I believe China has also quite some manpower and their military capabilities are not exactly known. The outcome will likely depend, how the rest of the world reacts. And if there are nukes.
Even if we decided to stop all these and curtail datacenter power usage in other ways, decarbonising is certainly going to require increased electricity generation. Most oil and gas usage will be replaced with electrical alternatives. As the oil and gas burning applications are mostly quite inefficient, luckily we don't need to do 1:1 replacement of the chemical energy of fossil fuels. Still it seems unavoidable that in the future there will be more electricity generation rather than less.
Not any worse than 32+ megabytes of UEFI booting off of an iPXE bootrom.
So, there you are, a dying patient.

The clue is in the words, "Your dying", meaning, the inevitable is drawing near.

The doctors are giving you drugs to keep you from dying.

Why are they doing this?

They run out of those drugs and you die.
Curiously, I'm the opposite. I feel the cutesy companies and products in baby care space are just cringe at best, and scams exploiting emotionally-drained parents at worst; my instinct is to trust things that look like medical devices more. And I inherently distrust anything associated with furries. 0_o.
Because when you have generations whose limited thinking is “invest in property,” that’s all they cling to, refusing to accept just how fucking wrong they were. Now they’re sitting on damp houses that are falling to bits, demanding top dollar and refusing to take a penny less because, guess what, “invest in property” is all they have left. No savings. No other assets. No thought of starting a business. They’re just waiting for that big payday in the sky.

So, the housing market is fucked. It’s so out of proportion, it’s unreal. It needs a reset so younger generations can actually afford to live where they want to—whether that’s for family ties, work prospects, or whatever. Now you’ve got self-identifying middle classes who are one month away from the street due to artificially inflated property prices and rising mortgage rates. Like someone said, Britain is failing on every metric at the moment. It’s not solely the government’s fault; people need to look closer to home, pardon the pun.

You’ve got wannabe property developers who can’t even afford their own homes but go around telling everyone to invest in property, parroting that nonsense everywhere they go, dreaming of the day they become property millionaires. They’re just deluded.

TeX and LaTeX :-) They are turing complete.
You can use `.name()` and that also works fine. Remember std::string is a heap-based thing.
In a multi-stage process, even if you fix the cause with 80% responsibility, the outcome may not improve by much, as there is failure now at another stage. Of course, fixing that single cause is still progress.

Fast LLM?
I have one word for you: attributes (which the compiler, and the reflector, know about).
One may also try to correlate this with the rate of violent crime in first world countries...
The inverse of immunity is not that any prosecutor can prosecute. That's the happy medium. Even the most reckless prosecutor would still have to convince a jury, and would still have to go up against a defense in court.

The inverse of total immunity (freedom, no jury, no trial) would be total oppression (prison, no jury, no trial).
A .45 gunshot feels like a sound, and with hearing protections at a few meters you hear it but cant feel it in the slightest. You feel it in your hand but not further. Artillery is more similar to how it feels standing next to gigantic speakers at a concert, even with hearing protections you feel it throughout your entire body, except sharper.
I mean real life games, like the ones hosted by/for military and disaster planners. The only places I can think of on the west coast that might do that sort of stuff are the RAND corporation and the Naval Postgraduate school at Monterey.
I was confused by the "Rust" denotion in the title and presumed it was an alternative builder to compile rust for web (wasm?). It's "yet another" bundler for javascript. Built in rust.
If you store notes on disk, which is what I do, you can back them up with any file backup tool.

I store my notes (encrypted with a password) on OneDrive.

See https://edna.arslexis.io/help-win#storing-notes-on-disk

I even have a settings option for a daily backup which exports all notes into a single .zip file in `backups` sub-directory. Not sure if it makes much sense, but it's there.
I found this website, and it was fun. What LLM and audio technology did it use to generate responses so quickly?
Integrate Go Library into a JavaScript Webpage with WebAssembly
With WebAssembly you can integrate different programming languages together. This opens up new possibilities to use great libraries written in one language in another different platform. In this article I want to show how to integrate a Go library for sentence tokenization in a JavaScript webpage.
It's also possible to get a copy of HN from Cloudflare in addition to M5. I keep historical DNS data and can confirm there are Cloudlfare IPs that continue to work.
Can't people figure out some other tooling besides bundlers? I mean, how many do we really need?

It's probably fine, but so are all the others as well. The authors have probably spent a fair amount on time on this project so I don't want to be negative but it's just hard to be excited when it brings nothing new to the table.

Why should I use this over Vite or esbuild? Because it's written in Rust? I don't understand why that even matters. Even if it was 10 times faster I wouldn't use it because Vite is fast enough and have all the plugins I would ever need.
Bless you, this is exactly my kind of thing. Thanks.

i saw this last week and was incredibly confused. aside from being naive it's totally overfit where general approaches are very well known??
But is this not the same thing on intel CPU ? I believe "new" intel CPU are, too, unaffected by meltdown, and so kpti will be disabled there by default.
Why does it need to be on the phone? Carry a normal USB stick.
You can do that with Edna too.

Store notes on disk (https://edna.arslexis.io/help-win#storing-notes-on-disk) and you can auto commit the whole directory with git.

Personally I store my notes (encrypted with a password) on directory managed with OneDrive.

Edna also auto-saves files.
These ideas are inherently harmful to spread to other people so flippantly—think of the possible nth-order effects for five fucking seconds, and you'll see what I mean.

(Or, don't because nothing fucking matters anyway, right, mannnn?)

We need to learn to respond to such nonsense swiftly, or we're completely and totally fucked as a civilization, as a species, in this information age of instantaneous transmission of thoughts and ideas.

Your ideas with regards to this matter are horrible, and you should feel horrible for proselytizing them.

(But, of course, you won't, because nothing fucking matters anyway, right, mannnn?)
Thank you. So many listings wasting so much time.
I really hate gamification. It's just so much in the way. It's just a distraction like the article says. Maybe it works but not for me. I just hate it.

We have some marketing comms people that are always trying to shoehorn this into our internal projects and we're supposed to be enthusiastic about it but I just can't.
I've just created a PR for supporting common record types: https://github.com/mr-karan/doggo/pull/128

However, each lookup happens serially right now, I'll take a look at making it concurrent per resolver atleast.

Edit: I just pushed the concurrent version of lookups in each resolver. Speed up is quite good around 70-80% on most domains. Will test this more before releasing to main!

A lot of the medication for psychological issues is aimed at altering the bio chemistry in the brain to mitigate physical problems. The reason that stuff works is because the issues are physical and not imagined. It's also true that certain disorders (e.g. psychosis) actually cause brain damage when left unchecked. This technically is not a single thing but more like a group of disorders with widely varying symptoms. My understanding is that a lot of PTSD complaints overlap in terms of symptoms and are probably related. Or that some PTSD patients actually become psychotic.

So not surprising to see some brain damage in navy seals. Of course the question is what comes first, the brain damage or the ptsd. And whether something can be done before brain damage happens in terms of medication or therapy.
It doesn't, but consider that the vast majority of us already carry our phones everywhere.

Would carrying an extra USB stick be that big of a hassle? No, but I can see the need for booting up a ready Linux image being extremely situational so the vast majority of time you're just carrying dead weight.
Rather. Particularly in counterpoint to the "whiz Kids" ...
While I share the feeling, I don't feel that my daily languages (Java, C#, TypeScript) are getting that far behind.

Even Go is rediscovering that staying simple just doesn't happen for any language that gets industry adoption at scale.

The q client has a feature comparison:

What did GP say about brain damage at all? Downthread he mentions people shooting 9mm pistols with hearing protection and navy SEALS as if they are the only two groups while not mentioning brain damage at all.

Aside from the cavalier “I know something you don’t” there was nothing of any value posted.
There's plenty to be done mostly in research: Regular checks on every solider after they had a blast that potentially affected their brain. Training can certainly be adapted as well as the gear that protects their heads and brains. I bet there's something of a gradient in the brain damage and not just a single event that causes it to go bad, the ages of those mentioned in the article are all within a decade. Reassigning soldiers earlier in their career to tasks without risk for their brain will save them and their families lots of pain.
It actually is, for anyone using Conan or vcpkg.
The fact that people keep releasing new bundlers, minifiers, transpilers, package managers and so on, for JavaScript is a loud and clear warning that something is amiss.

People (re)write such tools either for fun or to solve a problem (or best: both). Apparently after so much re-writes the problems haven't been solved. To me, this indicates fundamental problems. I'm not familiar enough with the ecosystem to know what those would be, let alone how to truly solve them.

But the very fact that we see new builders, transpilers, bundlers every few months is enough to conclude we aren't solving the problems on the correct level or that maybe it cannot be solved at all. Because otherwise one of the many attempts would've solved the problem and "everyone" would be using that.

You disagree?

What do you do in a situation where half the population won't take a vaccine during a pandemic because they think Bill Gates is going to track you with microchips?

Honestly, what's the solution here other than to wait and hope the voting population normalizes and self-corrects?
I wonder if the Havanna syndrome is somehow correlated with this as well
If this claim was trivially provable it would have been conclusively proven by now and yet there persists hints that chronic EM exposure, even at relatively low power, may cause problems. I vividly recall a cluster of research that blipped into the media landscape for a couple hours a few decades ago that suggested long-term exposure to cellphone broadcast antennas might be problematic and cell chargers necessarily push a hell of a lot more power. To be absolutely clear I'm not claiming to have any answers here, my areas of expertise don't cover this. I would expect any research that comprehensively dispels concerns about EM exposure to make a shitload of noise in the media landscape and to the best of my knowledge that hasn't happened.
This isn't new knowledge. I've heard about blasts causing sudden pressure buildup in the brain via the spinal cord years ago.

Of course this is now a much bigger problem for the military as it affects all combat soldiers even during training exercises.
Would be good to try a few more popular app types, such as food delivery, news, dating, and a twitter clone. I don't know if the rest of the thread has tried that.

I couldn't (skimmed) find any recent Adobe-like clauses granting themselves permission in their terms of service though, the nearest is related to community comments.

Hi, I am an Android Developer with 9+ years of work experience, last 2 years working remotely. I am preferably interested in Android remote positions. My second interest is to jump Android ship into some Rust development, so I learn it as a hobby. Also, Compose Multiplatform projects are very attractive to me.

Definitely, otherwise Netscape LiveWire would have been a huge commercial success.
Sorry, I didn't mean that you were necessarily a teenager. I was just saying that given the last 20 years in Tech, a teenager has only known it getting worse. You could be 60 and think that generative AI is one of the most amazing things invented in your lifetime, for all I know.
You say that suicide hotlines are more for the friends of people at risk, than the people at risk, as if it is a bad thing. We as a society generally dont know how to help people who consider suicide for its myriad of causes. We do know how to help their friends though, and pretending that there is help to be had is a big part of it.
