>Rome, China and the North Indian kingdoms traded

Yes, well established. But in limited amounts, and without much knowledge in either side about the other, not much influence, cultural, social, economic, military, and such.

Which is way Marco Polo's journey, which happened close to a full millenium later after the final centuries of the Roman Empire, is still a landmark of the civilizational meeting between Europe and China.

>This is as silly as claiming Rome was the centre of the world

Not anywhere near as silly.

For most of history, millenia before and after the Roman empire (until about the later modern era), China is considered by economists and historians to have been the top global economy.

And that's not due to population (in fact, it was smaller than the Roman Empire population wise, even about half), but with impressive organization, culture, and infrastructure.
Flashy things production, obviously. (In industry we call them "presentations")
That was until RSC came along. Now things are trending downwards again.

The biggest trend in basic mutations can't tell if a connection drops.
Languages, syntax, flags, and the details... I too have touched so many different technologies over the years that I understand at a high level, but don't remember the minutiae of. I have almost turned into a "conductor" rather than an instrumentalist.

Especially for debugging issues that could previously take days of searching documentation, Stack overflow, and obscure tech forums. I can now ask an LLM, and maybe 75% of the time I get the right answer. The other 25% of the time it still cuts down on debugging time by helping me try various fixes, or it at least points me in the right direction.
I disagree. Any language can tell the computer what to do. The quality of a good language is that it also clearly communicates to human readers.
Promotes angiogenesis = makes tumor growth easier (but at least they'll be visible until the hair grows in)
I'm a broken record, but I think the common calculations used to value financial assets look ugly when the extraction rate declines and blow up as it approaches zero.

That's why policy makers don't want to build more housing. And why passive investors are freaking out about the coming labor market where workers have better leverage.
Not necessarily. More people downtown means more people going out for lunch
It could be the 194.5 or any one number (e.g. the 10), depending on which measure is actually considered important by the designer.

I bought a Propane Torch Weed Burner and it doesn't really work - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Weed+Burner+Torch

I didn't expect fire to work well but I thought it would be fun, which it was, which is gardening.

It's hard to tell how well it works, depending on how much patience you have you can burn it to the ground and keep going heating the soil and in theory roots and stored energy but that's time and money.

Plants will die if you keep damaging them enough before they can recover it'd be interesting to see what the specs are here. Totally fine in theory.

Pichai's strategic vision is, and was, AI, and that proved to be right, or at least, not clearly wrong yet. The only failing was that it was ChatGPT and not Google that made the crucial LLM breakthrough and won first mover advantage.

If anything, his failing is maintaining the right corporate culture (and not his vision).
The missing letter in 'MVP' (2023)
> Foreign customers love it

The pilots do. The engineering crew and the armies/navies less, because of its costs. Its hard to have real data, because of armies tendancy to keep it close to their chest, but here is a norwegian report about f35 cost that skyrockets and force them to have less training and less operational capacity:

https://www.riksrevisjonen.no/rapporter-mappe/no-2023-2024/i...

US luckily have functional civilian admin, so i was able to find this: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-106703

No luck from UK and Australia. For Australia, i have no hope, but UK might publish something. From what i hard, no particular issue with the RAF, but the Royal Navy grumble a bit (and tbf they shouldn't: 80% of the f35 issues were caused by the UK navy demands).

Also, the selling price for UK, Australia and Norway who helped develop the plane seems to be higher than the selling price for Finland, which i think is weird.

> procurement queues are now decade long

Because it's still in pre-production, when serial production should've started 5 years ago.

The block4 (which will be the production standard) will, despite LM promises to be compatible with TR2, _need_ the TR3 upgrade, no other choice. The TR3 should've been on new planes since 2022. The current planes, with TR3 improvement, were supposed to be out this year for testing, and the DoD refused to take them because it was well below what was expected. Now, the TR3 is finally expected for 2025 (i think 2026 is a far better expectation), which mean Block4 won't be out until at least late 2031.

(Without TR3 and block4: no nuclear capability, no electronic warfare, no anti-ship capabilities, no A2/AD capabilities. A2/AD is what makes the f35 the most interesting plane of the world)

Tech Lead – 7 Damaging Myths
Planet Money Summer School
Prik nam pla is great. Thin garlic slices are a good addition.
You get used to their quirks. I can more or less predict what Claude/GPT can do faster than me, so I exclusively use them for those scenarios. Implementing it to one's development routine isn't easy though, so I had to trial and error until it made me faster in certain aspects. I can see it being more useful for people who have a good chunk of experience with coding, since you can filter out useless suggestions much faster - ex. give a dump of code, description of a stupid bug, and ask it where the problem might be. If you generally know how things work, you can filter out the "definitely that's not the case" suggestions, it might route you to a definitive answer faster.

I don't plan to work in an office ever again, and it is not because I am an introvert. I am saving 2-3 hours of my life by not commuting.
I love the idea.

I think some people may fear the concept that their years of experience are just not equal to someone else's same years of experience.
I don’t feel like it’s an improvement. Personally prefer the explicit enum usage.
Tech VCs don’t invest in restaurants. Actually one of the major sources of tension between tech and “communities” is that tech offices usually have onsite amenities, including lunch, so that employees don’t patronize local businesses much.
Fair point. But not so "last minute" that a pre-existing military design couldn't be investigated and reworked, custom print heads cast, etc. That puts it back to...what? 1979 or 1980? In that era, "let's build it to our exacting specifications, high tolerances, and unique mission requirements" pervaded NASA / aerospace engineering and procurement. However much we admire it today, COTS was not their way, and wouldn't be for at least another decade.
Myspace celebrates its 21st birthday. Do we still need it?

The good news, maybe, is that "E-Paper" (transflective LCD displays), capable of much higher refresh rates (60 -- 180 Hz), though with greater power draw and lacking E-Ink (electrophoretic) display's persistence, but otherwise sharing bright-light / daylit visibility, are starting to appear.

What I've seen of E-Paper displays isn't especially encouraging on the cost front, as similarly-sized displays seem to have roughly comparable costs (~US$800 for a 13.3" display). But at least there should be a technologically-independent option, with the prospect for price competition.
I do thing NGAD is the future, and i hope the US will reduce the f35 commands to focus on the NGAD, which is truly a next-gen plane.

> stealth! sensor fusion! VTOL! multirole! fancy pilot helmet!

Only VTOL was completely new. And maybe fancy pilot helmet? The difficulty is to put everything in a single plane. Honestly, without VTOL (which was asked by the UK Navy), i'm pretty sure the f35 would have had a lot less issues and would've made it to production already.
Could also have been refering to fiber transceivers. I never saw any 10base5 in the field, but we had a lot of 10base2 at my high school, and then 10baseT almost everywhere else, but I did see a few AUI fiber transceivers here and there.

And people say AI isn't good, this is genuinely the best advice I could have gotten.
Alright, thanks, googling gone wrong.
it's kind of a mess. there's npm vs yarn, react and next, material UI and various other components, tailwind and now curlwind. oh yeah and are you doing Typescript or JavaScript? and then bun or deno?

it's possible to build things, great, but shitshow refers to the mess when figuring out how to build it.

RFC: Proposing new MIT license to fund OSS and NudgeRank algorithm
A new MIT license*, that forces larger firms, to pay any none-zero amount to support OSS maintainers.

You probably have hundreds of packages. The main reason your firm don’t sponsor them today, is that it requires paperwork.

The non profit nudge.org will send reminders and enforce large firms to pay anything but zero.

For org admins we build a github extension “help.nudge” to calculate a recommended monthly invoice based on your dependencies. 100% distributed to maintainers. We will make it as easy as possible for your admin to pay it. Even easier than not paying.

The thing about tomatoes is they always taste and smell a lot better when fresh off the vine than they do when they've been picked when under-ripe in order to spend a few weeks in storage and transport before they got to you.

I think this applies, more or less, wherever you are in the world and no matter what variety of tomato. One of the reasons why they're such a popular thing to grow in your own home garden.
Great idea, but, unfortunately, doesn't seem to use the info that actually matters: repos that are committed to.
What about QML?
dude is an OG!
I think expressiblity is trickier than that. You can think in a language with an imperative mindset where you are describing what to do, or another with a declarative mindset.
I used to think this, but I’ve recently learned that my entire management chain (for a San Francisco based company) lives in the Tri-Valley. The view is just that commuting 2.5+ hours per day is a normal and inevitable fact of life once you have kids.
It’s also the tomato itself which is bred to resist bruising so that it looks pretty on the super market display. Unfortunately those cultivars also taste like meh.

Tastier tomatoes with thinner skins bruise more easily. They also require more labor intensive picking by hand vs bulk via machine.

Lookup the Rutgers tomato. Its a delicious one that at one point was the most popular tomato in all of the USA. It was bred for flavor, not shelf life! It fell out of favor when factory farming took over as it cannot be harvested by machine without bruising.
In France vote choice are made by placing a predefined paper in an envelope. You enter the place, present an ID, take and envelope plus zero/one/several/all papers, go in the alone room to fill the envelope with the paper of your choice. You can take zero papers because some organiser will send them prior by post but it’s not always the case.

How does it work in Italie? I can picture easely how someone in the paper room can put pressure on you to only take one paper.
I think the successor to the RP2040 needs to features to absolutely clobber the market:

>started growing my own chilis

I thought / have observed that the spelling "chili" (single letter l) was used for the US / Mexican dish called "chili con carne", and the spelling "chilly/chillies" was used for the hot pepper that came from the Americas and spread to much of the world.

Edit: Wikipedia says both spellings are used for the hot pepper:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepper

Edit 2: See the Spelling and usage section.

It does not mention the y ending, but I have seen it in India.
Looks promising. Does anyone have experience with it, or their backers https://codemag.com/ ?
Yeah, I used a ton of trig tables for software renderers in the late 80s/early 90s, but I'm just throwing ideas out there, since I've seen a lot of really great optimizations recently that were mostly missed during that time. This guy puts a lot of work into figuring out if there is a faster way to do trig calcs on the N64 than was used in SM64 (spoiler: there is):

Uninitialized variables are zero. Composite literals may omit fields, and they'll be zero. Map accesses for nonexistent keys return zero values. Channel receives from closed channels return zero values. make returns zero-valued slices. Comma-ok style type assertions return zero values. Slices are fat pointers where the zero value avoids an allocation for data.
Someone must have made that "smart" decision to use servers with a proprietary OS, so that someone surely has paid the extra cost for MS support. No need to worry then.
Sum types do not replace all the things you listed. Even Rust has different concepts for many of those.
Sorry to roast your project, but the roast one is so much better. Got me in the sensitive spots and mentioned very specific stuff. This one feels like a generic "you have 260 followers, you're awesome". Also, it did some roast anyway - "As for the blank README and bio, don't worry about it! Sometimes, less is more." :)
Show HN: SaxaMLL – an event-driven online XML parser for LLM applications
LLMs work pretty well with XML, so I thought to go back-to-basics and make an online event-driven XML parser (SAX parser) in order to handle LLM streams on the fly.

Tool-use APIs make it hard to interweave text and commands together. But if LLMs can output XML and text seamlessly, it's better just to go back to basics and roll with an online parser that can handle commands on the fly as the response comes streaming in.

This project is still in development, so please leave comments and feedback! Let me know what troubles you currently have and how SaxaMLL can help. Thanks!
No, I haven’t seen evidence of that, and a quick googling for “2020 us ballot stuffing” doesn’t show me such

I was writing software texturers etc in the late 80s/early 90s, and even recently I've seen x86 people humble me with all sorts of info that I had no idea about at the time, concerning pipelining etc. I would just sit all day randomly reordering assembler instructions and reprofiling teapot renders to see if anything would move the needle.

Basically this... though generally the tax breaks just require local hires within a city or county. Most of them don't have office mandates attached.
You’re repeating the type and hoping it doesn’t change when you really just wanted the value.
Well, apparently it was fixed with `enum class`… until it was unfixed in C++17 for unfathomable reasons. It’s honestly crazy that C++ doesn’t have simple exhaustiveness-checked enums. The obvious actual solution for the valid use case of deserializing an enum from an integer would be something like

template<E>
std::optional<E>
from_underlying(std::underlying_type<E>)
requires(std::is_enum_v<E>)

It's not enough. It's not enough at all. Experts are easily compromised.

The system by which power is transferred from the people to representatives needs to be literally self-evident. Any system that the "average voter" cannot understand should be literally unconstitutional. Deviating from this puts the results of all elections in doubt. People will question the results, and they will have a point because the system is not actually verifiable and trustworthy to the average person and therefore they have no reason to accept the results. If you're lucky you'll end up with numerous political prisoners at the end of the whole process.
That's as stupid as saying that anyone that doesn't have you added on Facebook doesn't care about you. Sometimes technology erects pointless barriers with the intent of making people FOMO. This is like Social Media 101 right here, people 10 years ago had this figured out.
I've never seen or heard of anyone using "chilly" to mean anything other than cold. I'm from Portland, but I've also lived in San Francisco and Tucson.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money on this:

1) Get a Bluetooth adapter.

2) One of those cheap Chinese keyboard/mouse combinations like the one you linked (the are many more).

3) Get a cheap Chinese portable monitor with HDMI/USB-C.

4) Optionally, a powerbank for the monitor. Or get one with a battery.

You'll be done with a similar price as this 'Aurga'. Back in the Nokia days, you could use Nokia Linux device as a remote keyboard/monitor/mouse, too. So e.g. Nokia N800/Nokia N810 a better cyberdeck than a Sharp Zaurus.

Well this seems to me a violation of the spirit of functional programming, even if it's written in a functional programming language.

Isolating state is the key principle. Philosophically you could say a program following this principle written in an object oriented or procedural language is more "functional" than a program that passes around a big tangle of state in a single data structure written in a functional language.

This when young the city was fun but when older than mattered less thing does not match with my own experience at all. Having an extended family and running a service business I have known quite a few people getting old and aging into their final years. Having people around and things to do can be critical for maintaining quality of life. It is really common for older people in rural locations to become isolated an unable to access the things that once brought joy to their lives. Seems like a potentially interesting contrast to call out.
I've been wondering if something similar happened to Maxtor and Seagate.

> python feels timeless

As a longtime python programmer I disagree. Python is so stuck in its old ways that several useful and interesting PEPs just get rejected. In 2024, the thought of not having macros, a decent version manager, not being able to modify running code despite being an interpreted language, not having multi line lambdas, not having several of core language features in lambdas (e.g., no try/except), the pain of creating thunks, the overhead of closures, not being able to read module files easily (if they’re in another directory), etc. make Python one of the most frustrating languages.
