My experience with DataSpell has not been great. Granted, my workflow leans toward R, and it DataSpell has a Python-first approach, but the app was basically completely broken to even load R, and StackOverflow was full of relatively old posts of people with the same problem. If they really cared about that app that would never happen.

I just do a lot of my R editing in PyCharm now and flip between terminals and RStudio. I was hoping DataSpell could unify that, but it's not ready.

The new RStudio IDE is promising, however.
Arguably we write instructions: instead of writing out the problem and what the solution looks like, we describe a set of steps we go through—and if those steps are incorrect, there's nothing to compare against, because that was what we called the "specification".

Whether there's a difference there is in the eye of the beholder, but it does look like that specification languages such as TLA+/PlusCal/Squint or Alloy, or theorem proving languages like Coq (to be renamed Rocq) or Lean look a lot different from the likes of C, JavaScript or even Haskell.
ouch, not sure what's happening, try https://eksodos.com instead of https://www.eksodos.com
I think it was Richard Bandler who said that we all have "multiple personalities" it's just that they have the same name and incomplete amnesia (for each other.)

If moms don’t get back to work, how will our leaders feel important?
Curious to see how it does, as it was something I considered building! The thing that put me off from doing it is that it is just too simple for existing platforms to add AI feature on top of their existing offerings.
Thank you, I really was lost for a bit.
200 letters over two years seems excessive to us, but not so in centuries past. An educated person with a knowledge job could might expect to write a dozen letters a day. A regular correspondence with a royal, any royal, would bring a degree of notoriety. He would also expect his letters to be read by others in the household, making the correspondence more of a connection to the royal family as a whole than with an individual princess. (A princess's communications with a commoner man would have been under constant scrutiny, the relationship tightly regulated.)
Thanks. How embarressing for mongo, woah.
Yes, this kind of maintenance is quick to do and a best practice once you've setup the angles. Then you hit a rock and cry.
I mean it seems like a good investment so why not?
Yeah, FYI that's a sibling comment, not the one you replied to.
If you have the option near you, definitely search for and visit a makerspace near you. One reason is that 3D printers require frequent maintenance - something which will be "taken care of" at a makerspace - and you can spend time talking to 3D experts before making the commitment.
Despite the quote, in the case the quote is taken from (Helvering v. Gregory), the tactics actually failed. Both Judge Hand's appeals court and the SC ruled that the tactics in question were consistent with the letter but not the intent of the law, the tactics were therefore invalid, and Gregory had understated her tax liability.

The vast majority take out loans, so there's no reason wealthier families should be exempt from this "requirement". Stanford does the same for undergrad -- free for students with HHI <$250k/yr. It's perfectly reasonable.
What's the reality check? It sounds like your result basically agrees with the link title.
> The internet will survive. It will just be very different.

The internet will continue to exist, certainly. However, it does become a more hostile and unpleasant place over time. Because of that, it's much less useful to me than it used to be and that trend doesn't appear to be changing.
Even more effective is not using Youtube or similar algorithmic feeds for content discovery.
SQL/DS was actually a slightly reworked System R, the research system that invented SQL. And the original DB2 relational layer was reworked from System R. See: https://www.mcjones.org/System_R/SQL_Reunion_95/index.html
Paying a lawyer to get an undefined tax question clarified is not “letting people work around [taxes]”.

Paying a lobbyist or legislator (who very likely might be a lawyer) to lobby or legislate for loopholes would be getting around taxes.
This may be a cultural thing, but as an Aussie when someone says "Sweet" positively, it expresses real positivity (about the topic it refers to, not just an event itself, ie, I'd read this as positivity or approval about the events in the article.) It is not the word I would have used ;)

But I agree with you it's good this is on the front page. I am so sorry for these people.

I did _not_ enjoy reading. They were horrible stories and very depressing (the worst, for me, was Anna, and I'm not going to describe what happened to her in this comment.)
Content is great but boy that site is not helping getting that content across.
At least in my experience, possibly due to context limitations, or just architecture, SOTA LLMs aren't particularly good at iterating as they tend to loop back around to similar results with bad logic / errors
Yes. An RC Toy is another word for a drone. If you shoot down things under the FAA's jurisdiction they will be interested. They have publicly maintained that position since 2016.

The FAA, despite their behaviour with Boeing, will absolutely make an example of people who do stupid things.
If you're on MacOS, activate spotlight (Cmd+space) then type "134f to c" and it will show you the conversion.

This also works in the search box on iOS.

Other conversions work as well. The one I use most often is kmh to mph, e.g., "220kmh to mph".
Law firms are the right-arm of the shadow government. Non-profit super-pacs are probably the left arm. The legs would def be the internet.

K&L Gates for example builds sophisticated social networks graphs of people in and outside of it's immediate community. Purchase as much data as you'd imagine an org like palantir would. They do their own "market research". Equal access to software based tools doesn't exist here or anywhere.

Is that 10.1% effectively agreeing with TFA that ~90% of electricity consumed in Portugal was sourced from renewables?
The stories do match over time in some domains though. Notably many (but not all) scientific domains, but also in a lot of day-to-day interactions. That's arguably what makes scientific theories so useful.

Not the person you're responding to but for me that's compelling evidence that there is something like an objective reality out there (even if apes can't perceive it clearly).
That makes sense, I will add it in a future update.
A bit off-topic, but this landing page "steals" my cursor, presumably for that special hero effect, which makes it dizzingly laggy and unresponsive.
Seems like the problem here is the FAA. Both Boeing and SpaceX have been able to bend the FAA to fit withing their respective business plans. I believe companies will do whatever they're allowed to get away with. Whether they should be doing those things is an entirely different matter. The FAA has allowed both of these companies a wide latitude and they've abused the privileges they've been provided.

Do you blame the companies or the agency refusing to reign them in?
Prosecutors are not supposed to drop the ball intentionally if the judge rejects the deal. They are supposed to work the case.

Practically, their career would be affected by it too.

Talpasolutions GmbH | Engineering Team Lead | Essen, Germany | Onsite or Hybrid | Full-time

The Full-Stack Development Team Lead will work closely with various teams to build sophisticated web applications, understanding customer needs and ensuring TALPA products add value. They will oversee the full development cycle, from strategic planning to roll-out, while crafting quality code and mentoring the team. Staying updated with the latest trends will ensure a sustainable web architecture and technology stack. The candidate needs proven experience in building scalable full-stack systems and leading a development team. Familiarity with our tech stack (Typescript with Vue.js, Node.js plus GraphQL, Docker/Kubernetes and Git) is required, along with an agile mindset and focus on long-term quality goals.

For super G or WC downhill skis, they barely have enough edge. The techs at these levels probably don't file at all, maybe one time per pair.
To be fair to the team, Tor (from PirateSoftware fame) reported that Blizzard made more money selling one horse in WoW than with the entire Wing of Liberty:

That would screw up anybody's motivation a bit.

Players get what they incentivize, and thanks to video games getting more and more popular, the tragedy of the commons applies.

Still, it sucks.
Looks great. Any plan to make it work in a browser instead of having to install an Electron app?
I would be a little bit worried about mold. But nevertheless, an interesting idea.

That sounds like their error. If the ticket said Saturday 2am, you wouldn't show up at Sunday 2am, right?
Attribution error seems to me like it has less to do with a lack of empathy (cognitive or otherwise) and more to do with simple epistemology. We have knowledge of our own circumstances, or the circumstances of our friends, to explain their actions with attribution to their circumstances, but we do not know about the circumstances of strangers to which we could attribute their actions.
And yet why is somebody paid so much to run back and forth with a ball?
It depends on threat model. A wired intercom can be easily bugged with a physical implant. Discovering such a bug is also a completely different art from securing code, so different that some would claim it is more difficult to secure with any guarantee of confidentiality.

The cloud-based model might be leaky due to complexity but has the capability to deliver cryptographic assurance, which is a huge win in the long run. Modern cloud delivery is infamously insecure at the current point in time because most companies do not care about the security of their customers, and most customers are not aware of more secure options. But in the end as the technology matures it will be far more secure.

Of course, cutting off internet access is a good practice and most cloud connected systems play happily with a proxy.
To be fair, most parents who anticipate sending their kids to college and/or graduate school start saving well before that happens.

So, it’s not like 1/4 of your income just disappears the day they enroll.
I totally agree. If anyone has tried to hire a technical product marketer who "gets it," they will understand there is a really small group of people who have the technical understanding and ability to communicate beyond "X is the best platform." Sometimes early stage companies think their engineers will be able to do it, but often it is not true. They need someone who both sees the internal AND external view of things.
$65k over 4 years are just favorable payment terms for a one-time $260k investment. A household making $300k can easily afford a $260k investment, whether by saving up for it or by taking out a loan.
Watch out for trademarks. Your slogan “The power of WebFlow for your React app” is going to attract attention from Webflow’s legal department if your project is successful.
Are you able to elaborate more? What language?

I have used LabVIEW, among other visual languages, and built systems with 1,000+ VIs, which are the fundamental building blocks of code organization, and hundreds of classes. LabVIEW has VIs, clusters, classes, libraries, and projects, all of which are useful and required for a well-managed, decoupled code system.

With good software principles, there's nothing that says you can't organize and scale visual code well.

I one time interviewed at a place that had swore off LabVIEW and were moving to Python. The reasons of switching from LabVIEW were the same tired reasons of organizational issues. When I asked to see their Python code, they showed me a single Python file over 10,000 lines long, and there were function signatures that were over 20 lines long. That was just the function signatures. This example, along with many more, and my experience in both visual languages and text-based languages make me very skeptical about claims about not being able to organize and scale code in visual languages.
Deferred compensation plans exist partially for this reason (although obviously not every employer offers them).
Because it results in revenue from broadcasting deals, apparel sales, and other transactions.

Better question is why do people pay so much to watch someone run back and forth with a ball in a medium packed to the gills with annoying advertising.
You’re describing a GSIB. There are only 4-6 banks in the US that’s considered a GSIB
They're capping the wrong side. As philanthropy, they should be forgiving a loan unless the recipient makes more than x per year. By the time people are in medical school there is minimal reason to expect their parents (staring down retirement) to foot any of the bill except out of the goodness of their hearts. Mike has somehow managed to make his well-meaning donation extremely controversial.
This might be a good place to ask this:

So, the idea of Firefox Sync is almost cool, but what I'd like is literally everything EXACTLY "synced," down to the current state of every tab.

Something like this feels like it should do it, but I've tried this and other things, and it just didn't work all that seamlessly.

Has anyone accomplished anything like this for browsers and use it regularly?
Looks like COA is $102K to 108K so not free.

I have to assume we're aiming for art, not science, here. If someone figures out how to get step changes to a light source with passive components, I'm gonna be impressed.

Splitting the light three ways first would just be the icing on the cake.

You do realize I'm talking about the OP's alternative reality, not ours?
This assumes the kid gets through all 3 years and you have a spare 65k a year to spend.

If they quit after 2 years or can't get though residency you just wasted a ton of money.

Let's say Billy and Bob have an adopted son named Dave. Billy and Bob both make around 160k. Arguably Bob should just quit the year before Dave starts attending, the family would probably break even.

That’s true for AI, but it is not the right way to think about AGI.

For AGI, the bet is that someone will build an AI capable enough to automate AI development. Once we get there it will pay for itself. The question is what the cost-speed tradeoff to get there looks like.

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience, I have served as both Senior Software Engineer II and Tech Lead, with a background in product management/business and experience as a Scrum Master. I excel in both startups and mid-level companies, with expertise in FinTech—interacting with banks, financial institutions, and blockchain—and MarTech, focusing on AI. My role has often centered on data engineering and the scaling of APIs and data pipelines. I am eager to explore new domains.

My career has predominantly been remote, working with diverse teams. I adapt easily to remote work and cross-cultural collaboration.

In startups, my greatest contribution comes after the MVP stage, where I focus on reducing technical debt and chaos to facilitate scaling. In mid-level companies, my strengths lie in rapidly delivering features, scaling, improving developer experience and processes, and leading engineering teams, ensuring effective communication with business stakeholders.

I'm also open to exploring product / project management / leadership roles.
> This is probably an even worse “platitude”. Most people go with the flow so if you’re immersed in a lot of NASCAR, you will probably end up being A NASCAR FAN eventually. Then it just spreads, especially if you couple the NASCAR with humor. NASCAR is tribalism and seems naturally engrained so it’s something you have to actively resist.

Very deep.
Another important tuning dimension is base structure. I never realized the impact of base structure until I got a GS board that had been ground with a very aggressive base. That thing absolutely flies on wet snow.

While I don't disagree 100%, my question to you is:

who/what says this is the case/why? GPT-3.5 was released/made popular "to the masses" not too long ago. Where do you feel the pressure for a quantum leap "quickly" is coming from?

Ask HN: How do I figure out what skills are in demand?
I've been looking for a new software engineering role for a couple of months now. Despite have 3 years of profession experience, I'm having no luck getting calls. My best plan at the moment is to work on my skill set, get a few certifications, and create an impressive project or two to showcase my new skills.

Are there any sources on skills that are in high demand today? Are there any certifications that would look great on a resume?

Bonus question: Is the market over saturated at the moment? It was so much easier to find a job two years ago.

While I tend to prefer gui, this seems really nice to have. I'd kind of like to see everything in the GTK Settings panel available in a friendly text ui form.
The number of times I have accidentally broken the wifi/Internet GUI on my os during updates, this could actually come in handy.
My guess is two things:

1. All snow has some level of particulates, especially older snow (moreso if there has been melting, because the particles/dirt/whatever concentrate on top).

2. Cornering on piste would put pretty big stresses on the tip of the edge. This could perhaps cause the edge to bend and curl, or even break little pieces off from metal fatigue. I think this would be a bigger deal in most winter skiing conditions.
Screen brightness is adjustable, and there are utilities for both windows and macs to adjust most external screens from your task bar.

Did techdmn say it was tax evasion?

Techdmn is right that there are many losers because Congress made a regressive tax structure legal. The lawyers win. The rich clients win. Society loses.

Edit: I'm "posting too fast" so I'll have to respond here.

> The ethical/moral argument is IMO lost when talking about people using the structure.

Why? An immoral act doesn't become moral simply because it is legal. (Consider slavery, bribery disguised as lobbying, or murder in The Purge).

And even many rich people admit that paying a lower tax rate than their employees is immoral.

I didn't say that the quote contained detailed argument. I said that the judge's decision did. It's not just that a judge said it. It's that a judge said it, and gave detailed reasoning to support it, in a multi-page written decision that has stood the test of time (that is, not overturned in the intervening years).

Yes, I know that Dracophoenix didn't quote the entire decision in his comment. He did cite the reference, though, so that anyone could go back and look at the reasoning behind it.

So it's a bit more than an appeal to authority. It's an appeal to authority, and to the reasoning behind it - reasoning that supports a decision that is still, to this day, valid law.
oh thanks wasn't aware I could adjust my screen brightness

> I don't we have warhead sizes for Iranian ones but normal anti-ship missiles are 500-1000lb

Shahed payloads are 100lb.

This is so deep into hypothetical territory.

They can't even fly far enough to make it to an aircraft carrier in the first place.

They'd get shot down by hornets, long before they arrived, if they even could.

You'd need a swarm of 10k of these to even attempt taking on an aircraft carrier.

Iran can barely produce 1k per year.

The US is building & decommissioning multiple aircraft carriers per year.

If you think 10 shaheds even pose a threat to a lone Destroyer, you're kidding yourself.

There's a reason an aircraft carrier has never been sunk.
