You don't need to look or wait, you can blindly pick the familiar key of your remember, say, that u is always umlaut to the previous key, same as in Compose

The big issue with pure Compose solution is that it fails for rarely used or for many symbols - hard to remember all those combos. You must have a visual reminder

The ideal combo is being able to delay showing GUI so that for combos you remember well nothing will popup at all, so it will be the same as "pure Compose", but don't think that's implemented anywhere

So the only remaining difference is pure type combos vs hold trigger, but you don't need to pick: you can have both

I've been using the original version for years. It is a great idea, generating forms from schema though I have always wished it were compatible with a server side from validator.

It does seem "JSON schema based HTML form generator" would be a more accurate description of the project.

Glad to see it continue to be maintained!

I’d be careful about extrapolating industry wide attitudes from a single comment from one recruiter.
The thing is, you have to know how to code well enough to know how useful the "code" ChatGPT generates is. And I put code in quotes because it's important to realize that AI doesn't know what "code" is, it just knows what syntactically likely strings are. So it might make up libraries that don't exist or write functions that don't work or don't even follow the semantics of the language, it's just spitting out something that "looks like code."

Much of the time, and for simple enough tasks for which there exists enough examples in the training data, what it produces might be useful. But it can also be wrong in subtle, non-obvious ways. But if you don't know anything about coding and just don't want to pay people for their time and skill, nothing is obvious.
I tried Rye during its first days. It would (without any indication) download some custom build of Python, which was dynamically linked so won't work unless you're running a distribution similar to the build environment.

Linux distributions ARE NOT binary compatible, you can't just build Python on one distro and run in on another. You need to statically link everything to do that.
I'd much hire somebody who understands things at a high level and then able to dig in deeper _if needed_, than someone who knows _some_ things really, really at depth but has no idea about other things.

I was excited to see this at first. We used early Triplebyte on the company side pre-COVID and it was a good experience.

However the 20% commission is non-starter for us. We only used Triplebyte because it had a fixed annual cost ($35k for up to 5 hires).
that's a marginal improvement in attitude than previous Arianespace leaders:

Ask HN: Has anyone been fired for ignoring in-office mandates?
Has anyone here been fired for ignoring in-office mandates?

Most of the banks in Toronto are forcing staff back into the office a set minimum number of days per week, ranging from 2-4. None are mandating 5 days/week, as far as I know.

I have heard that full compliance is low but don't have any data to back it up.
So the entire world should rather be dependent on SpaceX, and be done with it?

Arianespace had the lead and lost it, because it kept the old way of doing things.
Or are you arguing Ariane 5 was technically behind and wasn't competitive in the '00s?

Ariane 6 is not that far behind the other "old space" companies, which the US is struggling to keep around as alternatives to SpaceX.
It's not like Boeing and ULA are doing much better.

We should be critical of Arianespace, and find ways to get it to improve, but just throwing everything at SpaceX will do nothing to keep them honest.
Not sure if anyone from Otherbranch will see this but there's a tiny error in the description part of the coding problem on this page:

https://www.otherbranch.com/practice-coding-problem

Under step 2, the description says:

> If the selection is not a mine,
> but has adjacent mines in one of the squares next to it (including diagonally),
> change that square to display the number of mines adjacent to it.

However, the example output alongside it shows a square that is changed to the value zero. That square has no adjacent mines, so if the description were correct it would not have changed value.

So either the "but has adjacent mines" clause should be deleted from the description, or an additional "otherwise change that square to display zero" clause should be added, or the example output should be changed.
AI based user interviews for your startup. Something you would do?

I may have read too much science fiction, but the mere fact that someone has full access to all my data worries me, if not because we don't know anything about which form of government we would have in, say, 10 years, and how easily a corrupt government could force those businesses to surrender that data in order to find their "enemies".

BTW, I don't live under a rock, I do online banking from the PC and have pretty much given up telling my lawyer and doctor not to use Whatsapp to send and receive sensitive documents, then keep them in their unencrypted phones, but that doesn't prevent me to be worried by how easy it has become to obtain personal data about someone for those who can.

No. You’re in denial about the importance of authorisation, don’t want to give it the time it deserves, and are shooting the messenger in placing the blame on IAM to the degree that you are. People see AAA as a pain in the ass because it’s not the problem they thought they’d need to solve. That doesn’t mean that it’s important, or that the complexity is avoidable.

For the record, I’ve never been in a development team of more than 4 people, and my teams have always been responsible for their own ops. No ‘corporate dev’ here.

An Operational Semantics of Simply-Typed Lambda Calculus with String Diagrams
In 1996 DC Keenan wrote "To dissect a mockingbird" [1] giving a graphical notation for lambda calculus, expressing it in pictures with an evocative semantics. 28 years later the linked piece gives a categorical string-diagram version. Applications arise when you are interested in mappings that have extra behavior other than that of functions, as in probabilistic programming, automatic differentiation.

Mostly joking here tho, at C level its worse then you need to battle the COO and CEO and CPO and need to be very political

I am mostly fed up too, thinking of changing career and doing something physical like building yachts or something with CO2 capture/methane, slowly starting preparations and getting equipment/facilities but it will be a side hobby, if I see it taking off then I am out :)

NOTE1: physical because i want laws of nature to dictate what is possible not someone who read a blog post on medium

NOTE2: travel helps, I recommend africa :)
Thanks for the insights. Precomputing is not really suitable for this and the thing is, I'm mostly using it as a lookup table on key / value queries. I know Duckdb is mostly suitable for aggregation but the http range query support was too attractive to pass on.

I did some tests, querying "where col = 'x'". If the database was a remote duckdb native db, it would issue a bunch of http range requests and the second exact call would not trigger any new requests. Also, querying for col = foo and then col = foob would yield less and less requests as I assume it has the necesary data on hand.

Doing it on parquet, with a single long running duckdb cli instance, I get the same requests over and over again. The difference though, I'd need to "attach" the duckdb database under a schema name but would query the parquet file using "select from 'http://.../x.parquet'" syntax. Maybe this causes it to be ephemeral for each query. Will see if the attach syntax also works for parquet.

> I would love to be educated about this, but I don't have the stomach to actually watch these right now...

Understandable. Maybe it helps if I tell you that no one dies in the videos. They are all rescued by a lifeguard.

There is this article which describes the same content:
https://slate.com/technology/2013/06/rescuing-drowning-child...

But if you just want the gist of it: Drowning people can't shout for help. They can't raise their arms and wave. They typically spread their arms forward on the surface of the water and kind of bob up and down, but their mouth and nose doesn't go above the water long enough to finish a complete breath in-out cycle.
This is a great way to avoid voicing constructive criticism about IAM that doesn’t end up being “hard-code it for my use case at the expensive of making it difficult for a significant portion of other customers”.

"So the entire world should rather be dependent on SpaceX, and be done with it?"

That is not what I said. We badly need (real) alternatives.

But French-government-need-driven development is bringing us nowhere. Paris is happy to have six launches a year and doesn't feel the need to finance and support anything beyond that. The rest of the EU doesn't seem to have any strong motivations either.

Yes, the US old space is exactly as bad.
If your kid can't swim you shouldn't let it go in on its own. There is no reason to spoil the fun for everyone.

You can ban all fun or tell parents to use common sense and have a backup for idiot parents.

In this specific pool I would also create a barrier/line between the shallow bit of the pool and the deep end. In some of the videos the kids end up in the deep end by just playing, even without the floating devices.

Also kids should be taught to swim at a young age. At least where I'm from there are many places where kids can fall into the water.
An interesting side-story here is how the R&D here was sustained through three corporate acquisitions - from IBM to Hitachi GST to WD.
In one of my friend groups (consisting of folks in their 20s-30s and including both university students and professionals, mostly in the US) I’ve noticed a cultish obsession with the idea that the “system” is stacked, success is due solely to luck or unfair advantage, there are very limited resources, etc. Alluding to these themes seems to be a significant part of group identity. People even talk about how they actively sabotage their employer’s strategic and tactical goals, and I observe them receiving supportive feedback on this from other folks.

From my perspective, I think that one of the difficulties of being young is not yet knowing what exactly you should be working hard at. And in the knowledge economy where many of us must make significant career changes every few years, kicking off that new trajectory is somewhat analogous to youth. If you are working hard at the wrong thing, it will certainly feel like everything is stacked against you. I see some of my friends doing just this- trying to become something that just isn’t a good fit for them. How do you provide mentorship for people to help them identify what’s the best area to apply their efforts to?
You give so many good reasons to use RHEL. Less noble, but still good :)
Unity is not free if you're part of a team that has made $100k in the last 12 months. Including funds raised.

> A JSON decoder right in the compiler could easily be faster than generation involving extra tool invocations and multiple passes.

It also can easily be slower: C++ templates are not exactly known for their blazingly fast compilation speed. Besides, the program they encode in this case is effectively being interpreted by the C++ compiler which, I suppose, is not really optimized for that: it's still mostly oriented around emitting optimized machine code.
Reasonable is not wanting to be nickle and dimed for every amenity that could possibly be split into a separate cost.

Prices for such add-ons, especially ones that your average customer won't think of before, are also often unreasonably high because the operator knows they have a captive audience they can exploit - you either buy from them or go without.

I ran the interview team for TripleByte FastTrack early on (I’m not part of or in touch with the otherbranch folks) and I’m excited to see something like it return! The program was good at uncovering different sorts of engineering excellence. We could identify and attest for folks who were particularly fluent coders, or particularly deep systems folks, or particularly excellent debuggers, and then match them with shops that needed the sorts of things those people could do well. If the otherbranch process is like early TripleByte I’d encourage folks to give it a try because they’ll have a shot at landing jobs that are better fits for their skills and interests (in addition to just saving a bunch of time during the search!)

Isn't the whole point of Ariane to maintain European capability for independent space launches?

It would be very hard to spin that up from nowhere after twenty years of complete inactivity.
I don’t think the language is bad, but maybe improve the policy simulator, make it easier to understand what policies are require and also make it easier to find and reference different arns.

They’re both state supported. But Falcon 9 is cash-flow positive on commercial launches where the only operational subsidies are launch complex access.
> Most people aren't looking to buy new hardware and learn new tech to game.

Most people don't play game.

Most people that play game that isn't solitary or a web game just buy a playstation, xbox or Switch.

Only a relatively small fraction of people playing AAA games use computer for that. The most hardcore one and the most willing to spend money on a game Rig. And I am pretty sure most of them aren't the least interested in dual boot because they would have a desktop gaming rig and a laptop for everything else anyway. Only a tiny fraction of gamers is probably interested in dual booting. You are part of that tiny group. Fine. The nmbl tool presented in this conference do not prevent dual booting anyway so I am not even sure why people act like they should be offended because grub might be replaced someday by something else with more capabilities.
It is a financial question... Which product makes most profit, in whole?
Whole includes, in part, "The Commons".

Or double enrollment at JHU.
Or they do understand very well, and thus why they freeze themselves.
at this stage I question the resolve of any European leader in actually wanting to achieve anything of note in a consequential manner. it's cheaper but not cost-free to sustain a narrative of "independence" and "alternative to incumbent" when the actual result is just wasting tax payers money for vanity projects with no clear path to actually build a sustainable alternative to the incumbent.

You mentioned MKV - Matroska (MKA for audio, MKV for video) could honestly work quite well for this situation with just a little extra standardization.

Audio codecs: use a single stream of whatever codec you'd like. FLAC/Vorbis/MP3/AAC/Opus/etc. can all go into Matroska.

Seekable: Use chapters for tracks, and nested chapters for indices. Matroska documentation even gives an example of using ChapterPhysicalEquiv 20 for CD tracks and ChapterPhysicalEquiv 10 for CD indices.

Other metadata can be muxed into the stream as well.

Lyrics can be included as text in metadata (lyric tag) or as a subtitle stream.

Liner note graphics (and basically anything else) can be included as embedded files.

Music videos can be video streams in the Matroska file.

Laws are going to depend heavily, but most often anything “powered” is likely restricted. Sometimes there are distinctions between hand powered vs motorized contraptions, sometimes there aren’t.

Dropping off a box in a river could be considered littering, or something along those lines. Basically ask yourself “could a complete piece of shit do what I want to do in such a selfish and destructive way that forces someone to make a law against it?” And you’ll start to realize it may mot be so simple, anymore.

For gold what you want to do is find spots where gold has likely accumulated due to falling out of the stream, fill buckets and then work through them.

> needs to start somewhere, right?

Not here. If you’re bootstrapping a modern navy you don’t start by building galleons. Ariane 6 is the prettiest space galleon there ever was. That doesn’t translate into meaningful R&D for a reusable booster. (For example, cryogenic fuels aren’t great for reuse. So dump the engine. Their production cycles are artisan versus assembly line. Et cetera.)

This isn’t a story of European incompetence. It’s one of excellent engineers being wasted by an extractive monopoly. We had the same problem in America in ULA; we never figured out how to reform them. We got lucky in a reboot.
