Maybe if all you want to do is unconditionally extract certain columns from your data. But even in that case cut doesn't let you use a regular expression as the field delimiter.
Is there any other MacOS archival app that lets one look at the contents before extracting (like WinRAR, say) without resorting to the terminal?

This person appears to be selling shovels and inspiration to lottery ticket buyers (startup founders) demanding others grind for their ticket payout.

Founders were always gaslight, just by VCs and accelerators about success. Imagine if they were required to get an informed disclosure about startup failure rates signed by founders prior to the wire being sent. More so for early employees with common shares, potentially below market rate cash comp, and shall we say “aspirational work life balance.”

Start simple, if You embark in building The next Shadow of The Colossus You may get discouraged by The gigantic task.

Think of The platform You want to target with your ganes. Once You have decided, Start drawing a little something on The screen, any geometric figure Will do it. Try yo move your drawing on The screen using The keyboard or gamepad. Don't hesitate to use a Game engine like Godot if You feel The need, or a library like SDL2.

There are different kind of ganes You can implement, but they again, try to Start with small tasks.

While implementing your tasks. E.g playing a sound, You may want to revisiting some algorithms and some High school Math.

Most ganes follow The pattern of drawing, updating, check winning conditions. Game loop they Say, but don't into much theory at The beginning. Just have your ideas on The screen

Have fun!!!

I don't think that's true, or at least, I'd be surprised that I've never heard of it; it's my understanding that due to the multilayered nature of running Elixir, this is actually difficult to do. I know about Burrito, but that's not the same thing.
I’ve read the initial paragraphs of Readme and I have no idea what it does. I think a technical no buzzword summary would be good.
Yeah, that might not be the best example. Normally you’d want a double seal or really tuned compression to reliably hit IP68. And the o-ring adds a manufacturing step. And you have to design the case to properly compress the oring. And case assembly is harder because screwing up that interface will increase chargeback. And you’ll need to modify the audio test fixtures to add a jack. And the audio test has to include a headphone test. Any failures increases rework, so you gotta budget for that too. Probably need to add a cheap earbud to the box, so you gotta add a packaging step and a bigger box. And once you sell the phone, any failure within the contracted return window will increase chargeback.

Seems like a lot of faf. I tell you what, why don’t we wait for a bigger OEM to remove the darned things, and if it doesn’t hurt there bottom line we’ll just quietly scrap the idea?

And that’s how we got here.

> "If exercising is so healthy, why don't more people do it?"

Whether you like Linux or not, this is a circular argument. It attempts to answer why Linux is beneficial by analogizing Linux to exercise, good diet, etc. which itself presupposes that Linux is as beneficial as those things.

Beyond that, a lot of things you can do from a Linux shell can also be done through Windows Powershell even if the syntax is clunkier and documentation is harder to find. Windows has not been standing still.
Front line antibiotics don’t cause serious risk of the development of MRSA. I’m talking amoxicillin man!
I've never found working on WSL2 to be quite as smooth as working on Ubuntu or Fedora directly. I don't really understand why I'd keep Windows in the loop there if I was on non-Mac hardward.

And I've also found WSL2 less smooth than just working on Mac natively w/o containers. Containers are a necessary evil for testing certain types of things locally, but even the free tools for working with them on Mac seem fine, though Orbstack's gui is very nice.

(Is there a similar GUI for Linux container management? I've just been running shell commands for years now...)

Instead of moving more towards containers I've just been moving towards simpler, easier-to-set-up-on-Linux-or-Mac toolchains. But I don't have Windows as a target anyway, so that removes one huge need for containers.

I'd say that my childhood suffered a one-two punch, from problems with my adoptive parents to my tendency to imbibe popular culture from a firehose (radio, TV, records and CDs)

Pop culture and social media can really breed discontent and rebellion. I was just trying this weekend to compile a playlist celebrating Labor Day and I realized that I knew of zero songs about a strong work ethic, or loving one's employer, or enjoying the workday, so I ended up adding Johnny Cash's "Legend of John Henry" and "Manic Monday".

It used to be that parents could adequately control/monitor influences on children. Not that they would be qualified to do so, but at least you could check out book titles on a kid's bookshelf and ensure that they cultivate good friendships. The unmonitored firehoses of information coming to a typical household now is unmanageable. How does a parent even start?

We're closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. Medicating children and diagnosing folks with mental illnesses without addressing root causes, looking at their environments, acknowledging collective responsibility.

You might as well round up all fans of "The Simpsons" and sound the Independent Thought Alarm. A nation of rebels looks up to Washington and sees impeachments and raids on the Capitol: are they our role models?
Show HN: A YouTube videos course generator
An exciting aspect of what I'm working on is that users can create their own playlists. For example, you can provide an outline of what you're learning, such as notes from your professor or any other structure, and the pipeline will create a course tailored to that. Since the content is highly customized, it will be relevant and high-quality, matching current lessons or lectures in school or university.

Initially, the pipeline also generated some teaching content using AI, but due to the risk of AI hallucinations, I'm planning to pivot away from that. The new focus will be on curating YouTube videos relevant to each subject, so the courses will consist entirely of expert-created content from YouTube. This approach avoids copyright issues entirely.

I'm still in the process of updating the code to implement these changes. The reason I'm posting this is to get feedback on how it sounds to you as learner. I'd love to hear your thoughts, does this solve a problem for you, would you be likely to use it if it just works ?

I'm trying to find a product structure that users will find valuable and effective.

The web app is completely free to use right now as I figure out the best model.

Thanks!
If one student chooses to get their degree from a state school at a cost of $10k/year, and another student chooses to go to a private school at $50k/year, why should taxpayers reward the second student, for making a poor financial choice, with 5x the funds?

If there’s going to be student loan debt forgiveness, at least max it out at that person’s average in-state public tuition rate.

When students and universities are both just spending other people’s money, there’s no thought toward financial viability, and the prices will only keep escalating.

Faculty were complaining about this eleven years ago:

https://professorconfess.blogspot.com/2013/06/all-remedial-c...

> There’s a huge issue of integrity in the pre-sub-remedial course. If you’re teaching 3rd grade material to an adult, you consider that adult to have the cognitive skills of an 8 year old at best. There’s nothing wrong with trying to improve education and learning, but at some point, someone should think “This student didn’t learn this in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. Maybe he doesn’t want to learn this and we shouldn’t loan him money to learn it.” Failing that, admissions should think “Maybe loaning this person money that goes right to us would be taking advantage of someone with a mental disability and it would be not be acting with integrity to do that.”

Best way to solve problems is not to have them in first place, like getting a Linux laptop for doing Linux work.
`cut` doesn’t work natively on data that’s been aligned with multiple spaces, you need a `tr -s` pass first.

It also doesn’t let you reorder or splice together fields.

I used it for years but now that I have a working understanding of `awk` I have never looked back.
This is amazing to hear.

Have you studied the hippocampus memory of hummingbirds much?

Their glucose is consumed to preserve their extraordinary 3d spatial memory for all their food sources.

---

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22357941/

"...analyses reveal that the HF in hummingbirds is significantly larger, relative to telencephalic volume, than any bird examined to date..."

--
IMO the ability of the Hippocampal spatial 'compuiting' - is what consumes the glucose in what is their 'GeoPU' - and so to be able to think in a 3D volumetric space - not vector space - allows for such precise control where the positional coordinates of a food source have a heavy weaight in 3D and Temporal Memory - which is the same as how it can navigate in a 3D point space with its hovering...

It Computes to Live and it Lives to Compute.

GPU folks should be studying hummingbirds.

Especially for AI patchfinding with sensor awareness - as some hummingbirds migrate ~2,000 miles from Chile to Canada.

https://www.hummingbirdsplus.org/nature-blog-network/ruby-th...

Now note how frequently this critter needs aerial refuling, and it needs to know the best and most efficient path to hop all the food-check-points over 2,000 miles

https://i.imgur.com/3MvzmX9.png

Hummingbirds can fuel expensive hovering flight completely with either exogenous glucose or fructose

https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111...

>By foraging frequently and fuelling hovering flight directly with ingested monosaccharides hummingbirds avoid the energetic tax associated with the cost of synthesis of fats from these sugars prior to their oxidation. Remarkably, hovering hummingbirds are able to utilize fructose and glucose equally, a physiological feat which no mammals are thought to match, and one that suggests novel physiological capacities for the oxidation of fructose by active muscle tissues in hummingbirds. The data presented here indicate hummingbirds enhance net energy intake though specialization of diet, behaviour, and, uniquely, metabolic physiology.

-- now imagine the ripples that are running through the hippocampus thats maintaining this level of efficient precision of a Body that has near instant acceleration and precisice altitude control in a 3d volume.

Hummingbirds are the most amazing critters.

We should be studying humming birds glucose control through the HF, not rats.

If an AI can look at your drawing and code, then later draw a correct elbow and make the right API call for someone, they have benefitted without taking anything away from you.

This is like saying if a publishing company takes excerpts from your work, and builds products from it -- without your permission, and of course without paying you royalties of any kind -- they have benefitted without taking anything away from you.

The tech companies call this "learning" of course, but that's just subterfuge.
I had untreated sleep apnea for years, which presented in two ways: snoring, and something that looked an awful lot like panic attacks. Every doctor I saw kept insisting that everything was fine, everything was healthy, every test came back clean, brain MRIs and epilepsy screening, chest x-rays, and more cardiologist exams than I care to remember. Sleep apnea is super common, but no one thought to look for it because I was thin. At one point, some idiot doctor threw the phrase "Could be MS.." at me. That lingered in the back of my mind for years.

I've worked in hospitals, I know my way around the system, I'm pretty intelligent, and I usually have my shit together. But that whole experience left some scars, and I'm a lot less mentally robust against illness than I used to be.

Ask HN: Can Ladybird's open-source success be replicated in search engines?
With the rise of open-source browsers like Ladybird, which has gained significant attention for its transparent and community-driven approach, I'm wondering if there's a similar opportunity for an open-source search engine. Ladybird's success suggests that users are hungry for alternatives to proprietary browsers, and I'm curious if the same appetite exists for search engines. Would you use an open-source search engine that prioritizes transparency, community involvement, and user control? What features or values would be most important to you in such a search engine?

Another example/generalization of this is the opposite of the placebo effect, the nocebo. [1] A person is able to suffer real and measurable effects, up to and including death, based on their belief and expectation of such effects. A well studied example of this is in terminal cancer where patients will die of no clear cause long before the cancer, or any other related effect, could have killed them. The mind is extremely powerful.

Yes, the Papal States (the state that the Pope ruled over between ~800 and 1870) were to a large extent the successor to the Exarchate of Ravenna, the area that the Byzantine Empire reconquered in Italy from the mid-500s to the mid-700s. Ravenna had become the capital of the Western Roman Empire long before the fall of the Western Roman Empire, since it was closer to the action on the frontiers of Central and Eastern Europe.

> if your calculation returns Inf, it means that your program is wrong

In my own programs, e.g. working with rational approximations or more general functions which are meromorphic in big parts of their domain possibly with branch cuts, or representing the sphere using the stereographic projection, Inf is a commonly expected and entirely correct result, either of intermediate calculations or of final results, and is also a commonly expected program input. In my experience looking at other people's code it is relatively common for Inf to be a perfectly reasonable result of numerical calculations. In some contexts, underflow resulting in 0 or overflow resulting in Inf is a more precise result than 1.000000000000000. It all depends what your numbers represent and what you are trying to compute.

(In some programs, it is even fine and ordinary to expect 0/0 or Inf/Inf resulting in NaN in intermediate computations, though these typically need to be checked for and special-cased so they can be recomputed to get the correct non-NaN but possibly Inf result.)
There's definitely research. In fact, the US has the "Active Denial System", an experimental directed-energy weapon built on those principles whose effects have been studied on humans. It causes temporary pain, potentially thermal damage if left on for too long. One of the big reasons I'm skeptical of Havana Syndrome is that its symptoms are nothing at all like that.

"Time spent fiddling with your OS is less time you have available..."

This makes the common assumption that Windows (or MacOS) requires less fiddling than Linux. I haven't compiled a Linux kernel in anger in maybe 10-12 years. Installing or uninstalling software is frankly painless.

On the flip side, I'm forever fixing my wife's wireless or printing, or trying to figure out why some file doesn't open magically. Typically, she just emails files to me to print, although this may be due to me buying a Kyocera laser printer, and her using some trash HP inkjet.

Time spent working around some Windows inconsistency or big or missing feature or poorly documented feature fits in the same category.
