Kinda? It makes me think of Randonautica:

> Randonautica (a portmanteau of "random" + "nautica") is an app launched on February 22, 2020 founded by Auburn Salcedo and Joshua Lengfelder. It randomly generates coordinates that enable the user to explore their local area and report on their findings. According to its creators, the app is "an attractor of strange things," letting one choose specific coordinates based on a certain theme. It gained controversy after a report of two teenagers coincidentally finding a corpse while using the app.

When I finished this, I felt like I should have been taking notes as I read it.

But then, how could I be sure that the notes were trustworthy?
I like that.

I have a similar attitude with Python and Go as back hammers and Quasar (Typescript + Vue + Vite + components) as the front hammer.

Whenever there is a date in Python I exclusively use Arrow (even for the simplest, most basic ones).

I know it is not effecive, but I am an amateur dev and having these hard rules keeps me from testing something new all the time.

I got the same email. Never been a CrowdStrike customer or even (that I remember) had any contact with a sales rep. They must've blasted that to every list they had.
I'll admit, I have a fascination with Greco Roman antiquities and Hellenic /Roman astrology is one of them. To be able to enjoy the literature and culture of the era and the archetypes expressed, understanding how this all works helps a great deal.

As such, I know a fair amount of astrology from a Greco Roman perspective and by extension all the way up to medieval astrology. Yeah plz I find it fascinating.

With that said, the vast majority of western astrology is done using new age psychological nonsense that was literally made up by hippies during the 60s. It is completely divorced from the tradition that was developed and refined from the Chaldeans (aka Babylonians), Greeks, Arabs, and Europeans and as such doesn't make any sense against the system that was developed and refined over at least a thousand years.

A good astrologer won't say with precision that X is going to happen (like you will meet the love of your life or pass the test), they'll give their predictions in archetypes and give a range of outcomes that fall under those archetypes.

Take for example the meaning of the 9th house, the 9th house represents far away travel, religion, higher education, and publishing. These are all desperate subjects from one another and need to be considered in a predictoon against the backdrop of your life.

Does it work? It's a bit like the weather, I can say this range of things under this archetype will happen on X date at X time. That's pretty much it.

If you're interested in the subject, the best primer book I can recommend is the study office and fortune by Chris Brennan which can be found on Amazon in print and ebook format. It's written as a college level text with citations and will give you the historical background and practical foundations to understand the classical philosophy that underpins the basis of the tradition.

Anywho, I expect a good roasting and some down d00ts for my interest in t is subject.

Well, Go has generics now and you can do quite a few tricks with errors.
In the end error handling logic is up to developer.

UPD: thankfully Go does not try to bring in every "feature" possible. Not without consideration at least.
That I meant to express yes. That those non-GIL-related optimizations would soften the blow of any slowdown from the GIL removal project.
Keeping Secrets (2014)
This book got me through some tough times. It's one of my favorite pieces of literature. It deserves to be a classic 100 years from now.

Part of why it works is by the nature of its subject, the book and its various plot points and devices serve essentially as metaphors for almost anything-- anything related to how humans communicate and remember.

It's not just superficially a fun sci-fi romp, it's also a story about the stories we tell ourselves and each other, about how we assign meaning to events, among other things. It reminds me just a very little of Godel Escher Bach, but I like this one better. I am also reminded of Lewis Carroll, and the cryptic quote that "through the looking glass is the best book on mathematics for the layman, since it is the best book on any subject for the layman"

It is poetry. It is a Rorschach blot about Rorschach blots. I can't recommend it enough.
I agree, it is being misunderstood and misused. Instead of using it as a tool for deep introspection, it seems to be used for the condescending purpose of “fabricating a mystical 3rd party authority get our idiot employees to notice that people have different personalities and everyone else isn’t just a carbon copy of them.” Which sounds like an irredeemably awful workplace situation, and I don’t envy people in it.
Oh, very cool that it uses Lua for its configuration. That opens up a massive potential for new behaviours and customization.

Emacs uses Lisp in a similar way. What other applications use a programming language for their configuration?
Kind of you to link the Wiki page as the full sentence that mentions Mullis' astrology belief is: "Mullis professed a belief in astrology and wrote about an encounter with a fluorescent, talking raccoon that he suggested might have been an extraterrestrial alien."
PHP fell foul of adopting other languages' features to try and make itself more popular though (OOP, typing, err... I don't know PHP anymore), Go is actively resistant to it. Or, resistant as in, "sell it to us" where it's a really hard sell to add something to the language that can already be done in a different way. The error handling debate from a few years ago was great, a few really well thought-out proposals were made but in the end, people were like "...this is not an improvement over how we do it right now".
I appreciated the simplicity of this page

It's not ad hominem; it's a fact: You sound like you just have an axe to grind and you're not adding much to the discussion beyond large scale vague complaints nobody can do anything about.

I'm not sure how the onus is on me to refute anything beyond that. I've added plenty to the discussion upthread.
I cancelled my Jetbrains subscription a while back because I wasn't using any of their products for my current work. They made the process so easy that I will consider going back to them in a heartbeat when I next have need of their offerings.

I actually coded a Z3 program to prove it! The 3-variables version takes too long to resolve, but I got results for the 2-variables version (tumor size + gender):

Results can be found in this GSheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tsBhElTgXjVTeas8quar...

Code is here: https://gist.github.com/TheMrZZ/c33927ca2cc917997a67d7f84b82...

I'm currently running the 3-variables version, hopefully I'll get results this afternoon.

We can clearly see the same problems that arise in the 1-variable Simpson's paradox (widely different population sizes).
This study tested sun-sign (which is basically birth month I think) against personality tests for predicting life outcomes and found that sun sign did very poorly compared to the personality tests. I'd have thought there would be a small chance of birth month predicting some things, and then adding in other astrological facts (the position of Jupiter or whatever) would make things worse, but both methods appear to be equally bad.
Works at generating income for the astrologers, of course.
May as well ask here: anyone know what this recent post is about?

I used wezterm a long while after switching from urxvt. There was a GPU memory leak or something, becuase after opening a bunch of terminals, I found that Graphics in firefox started lagging and dragging. I switched to kitty (And Microsoft Terminal on windows), but I use tmux inside (apparently much to the authors annoyance).

I should wezterm another look ...

So, yeah, but an interesting chunk of results: is the inter-rater agreement ACTUALLY random?

(Not sure if this is formatted correctly, feel free to comment if you'd do these stats differently)

from scipy.stats import binomtest
# stats: {experience_level: (rate, num_in_group)}
stats = {
"lvl1": (20.5, 156),
"lvl2": (22.2, 66),
"lvl3": (23.3, 50),
"lvl4": (21.2, 39),
"lvl5": (20.8, 12),
"lvl6": (28.3, 5),
}

for lvl, (rate, num) in stats.items():
num_tests = num * (num - 1)

res = binomtest(int(rate * num_tests * 0.01), num_tests, 0.2, alternative="greater")

# with multiple comparison correction with bonferroni
print(f"{lvl}: p-value = {res.pvalue:.4f} {'*' if res.pvalue < 0.05 / 6 else ''}")

print('* indicates p-value is < 0.05 after bonferroni correction')

"""
lvl1: p-value = 0.0276
lvl2: p-value = 0.0002 *
lvl3: p-value = 0.0000 *
lvl4: p-value = 0.1337
lvl5: p-value = 0.4826
lvl6: p-value = 0.3704
* indicates p-value is < 0.05 after bonferroni correction
"""

So maybe there's an internal consistency in how these people are trained, and maybe it's not completely dependent on skill level. This is assuming I read the https://www.clearerthinking.org/post/can-astrologers-use-ast... part correctly.
Everyone’s gonna hate me for saying this, but I think it’s worth it anyway.

The purpose of a vaccine is to create a lifelong allergenic response to something injected into your body that will never hurt you.

Think that thru. What they inject will never hurt you because it’s a dead version of a virus.

But they put adjuvants in it to inflame your immune system.

This creates a lifelong immune response. But why wouldn’t it also create the immune response to other non harmful stuff too.

I’m not against vaccines. But I don’t get why people don’t investigate this potential connection. I think it’s cause we are scared of the ramifications??
How comes we had perfect TUIs and no problems on DOS yet apparently always have some problems with TUIs on Linux?
Go was explicitly designed for fast compile times, especially compared to C++, and I haven't heard anything to suggest that's no longer the case. It was also designed as a more modern and mature replacement for C, and I can't think of many application domains where C is still the better choice.

Python is at such a different point in the design space I don't think you can really compare the two. Same with PHP, Ruby, Javascript etc.

For OCaml, need to decide how strongly you want to commit yourself to functional programming. Also, didn't OCaml have weak support for concurrency? Has that changed recently?

Similarly with Rust, comes down how much you want to commit yourself to learning and conforming to the borrow checker.

Elixir is an interesting comparison, as it's another language that allows you to build highly concurrent back end services. The tradeoffs are that Elixir provides even more robust scaling due to the Erlang VM. But Go allows you to more easily understand and optimize the memory and CPU performance of your application.

All the people that replied with something akin to "Why is this written in C++" when Ladybird was initially announced, which probably influenced the decistion to switch to Swift.
So many comments from people coming from iTerm. What do you have in your WezTerm config to make it more like iTerm?
There are a lot of aspects of Go that I’m really not a fan of, but I’ve been writing an increasing amount of it over the last few months and on the whole I’m finding it really enjoyable—even though I’m not sure I could empirically explain why.

The tooling is heaven compared to other stuff we do a lot of at work (TS/JS of course being the main offender), and generally I find I spend less time thinking about things that aren’t directly related to the problem I’m trying to solve. Though, that might just be because I’m not an expert and simply don’t yet know about other things I could be thinking about!
Homebrew because that's where most packages live, and what most documentation and stack answers point to.

Not worth fiddling with the other package managers. Homebrew just works and never gave me much of an issue.
"quake-style visor mode" what is that feature? I am currently using iTerm2.
I've been using wezterm for around a year, and sponsoring Wez on github, and it's been a fantastic terminal and he's a great developer. One of the things I love most about it, which the article mentions it is not going into, is the quick copy and other copy modes. I use them All. The. Time. C-S-Space and type the letters that appear next to the item you want to copy.

One big use case I have is: mosh+tmux-like functionality from my macos laptop to my work Linux machine. I always have a session running so I can do things on my work machine from my Mac. It gives a re-connectable session plus panes and tabs so I can do work when I'm away from my desk. It's top notch.
> “The main stumbling block can be summed up in a few words: fear of the classical,” the baron wrote. He believed this fear permeated every category. Take literature: Writers were “wholly unfamiliar with the joys of violent muscular effort” and therefore “incapable of describing them for a public that was not very familiar with them either,” he bemoaned. “In painting, sports scenes required more line than color, that is to say the opposite of the reigning trends.”

Whether this describes the original reason for removing art events from the Olympics, I don't think it's why we won't bring them back.

I also don't believe it's because poetry is wildly unpopular these days. After all, how closely does anybody follow most Olympic events outside of the Olympics themselves? That's kind of the cool thing about the Olympics: they make you white hot interested in diving, curling, etc., for a little while.

Personally, I think the reason a traditional poetry category wouldn't work is because the idea that you can objectively judge poetry is anathema these days. People would hate it, call the judges sorts of disparaging things. It would only be controversial, not satisfying.

Also, poets themselves generally want their work to be appreciated in a different way other than by live, public snap judgments. Our whole orientation toward art is so different these days that this would all be an alien concept.

That said, a battle rap event seems plausible, and would be pretty interesting. But that's distinct from the type of poetry the article is concerned with, both in form, process, and tradition. Low odds that it'll happen in the short term, but it would be pretty neat if it did.
The USAH ADM coach training now addresses this directly. They require all youth hockey coaches to take self-paced and live workshop training, and require annual continuing education.

Sir or madam, you need to go see a psychologist. You have real control issues. You and your SO need counseling really bad. Go talk to a professional, I can't believe you are asking this question in HN! Funnily enough, even people here are more considerate than yourself with your sibling.

Your "child"(actually, an adult) is a person and a person has desires. They might be full of your shit and don't care so much about your precious investments you've made to get them the education you are paying for. They've never had to work for it. Does it hurt? You have to deal with this.

You are probably rich as you can afford this, so it means you are well-studied, so I'll suppose you understand how the brain works given different stimuli and you gave your "child" (of 19) the wrong idea about the world for 19 years, now you expect it to just get a wide comprehension of the world and perform well?

They will never be able to give as much value as for example, I would if I had that opportunity at that age, but I understand him/her.

You have a sickening desire of control of your sibling as if they were your property. You need to go see a professional, now.

You have no control over them, I bet if you keep being a PITA they will start doing drug and that will be all your fault. Get professional help before it's too late.

And let the 'kid' play their games.
Regular T&C spam? Mark it as spam. If enough people do this, that company will have problems getting e-mails through at all.
The whole idea of exception handling with try/catch comes from the fact that problems and error handling can all be standardised into one structure of patterns. Once you are here you can be sure the language(compiler) and tooling(IDE/Editor etc) will generate them for you and provide you with means to handle them.

Nothing much has changed in terms of problems and interfaces. So the errors will remain the same.

Now when you use go, you will have to write a lot of code that other wise the language+tooling could do automatically for you. This is just doing work that you shouldn't even be doing the first place and pointless verbosity.

Minimal is not always better. And some parts just feel like they were omitted because the language designer didn't want to do the work for you. Whereas the whole point of a programming language is that it does as much work for you as it possibly can and make it easier for you.

Just saying writing the same/similar code over and over again is waste work.
I don’t believe in astrology , tarot or anything of the sort one bit, but I still appreciate that it’s useful in the same way that an inspiring movie is useful. It presents a facet of human experience, which you can reflect upon. It invites you to think about things like “what is currently changing in my life, do I want challenge or stability, etc etc”. Maybe it doesn’t surface anything, maybe it tickles something you hadn’t realised until then.

In a way, I think it can lead to more profound realisations than if you just believe it “just” predicts the future
By the 1600s, people were letting it be known about wares they wish to sell and whatnot in newspapers; a practice that continues today. This is generally considered the birth of "modern" advertising.

That would be an excellent point for a headline that says, “This Never-Sold Concept Car Had The Wildest Dashboard You’ve Never Seen.”

Obviously, such a truthful headline would get much fewer clicks.

The actual headline intentionally wants us to think they’re going to show us the “Wildest” Knight Rider car that people were driving in the 80s. (Maybe they were rare, maybe you were too young to have seen them, but we have pics! Click here!)
This is so profoundly nonsensical I can't even engage with it point by point.

> Seen through this lens, pronatalism offers a hollow-ringing promise that simply having more people will solve social and economic problems faced by a nation’s current population. But that amounts to borrowing from the future to pay the debts of the past.

People always under-estimate the cost of properly learning a language. At any given time I tend to have a "main go-to language". I typically spend 2-4 years getting to the point where I can say I "know" a language. Then I try to stick to it long enough for the investment to pay off. Usually 8-10 years.

A surprising number of people think this is a very long time. It isn't. This is typically the time it takes to understand enough of the language, the compiler, the runtime, the standard library, and idiomatic ways to do things. It is the time it takes to where you can start to meaningfully contribute to evolving how the language is used and meaningfully coach architects, programmers and system designers. It is also what you need to absorb novices into the organization and train them fast.

How is it different than, say, java for this generalist purpose?
I had a thought that astrology may have had some merits in older societies in climates where weather and daylight patters have distinct variations throughout the year (i.e tropical excluded zones), with effect on agriculture and daily activities, and so how and what small child were exposed in specific several months of their life (diet, activity, temperatures, daylight, ...) have had noticable effect on their behaviour and growth. I.e. if mothers' breastmilk composition varies based on the availability of fresh and nutritious food, or if nutritious food was available at the time of weining, or at their growth spurts, how much outside activity they had after learning to walk or run, what they seen mostly while learning to see, and so on, so the variations in the weeks and months when specific bodily and neurological development occur, that may have been noticable. Winter childs are so, spring childs are different so, and so on. Modern societies equal these yearly variations a lot, even if astrology hocuspocus had some foundation due to such underlying real resons, it likely disappeared in past several decades.
If you're not paying someone to manage this for you, either you're a hobbyist (perhaps masquerading as a professional) or you have the scale or special use-case that makes you outside 95% of use-cases.
