After trimming, you can also branch on edges: either it is in a cycle, in which you find one, otherwise you can remove it and further reduce the instance by trimming more edges.
Where in the USA do you live? For my parent's house in Texas City there wasn't really a grocery store for ten miles and I'm not even sure delivery apps were available there. It's like trying to call an Uber in league city... MAYBE you'll get one in 30 minutes or something.

I'm curious if you think it's because Americans are too lazy or undisciplined or stupid or something to find and cook food? Is it hard to believe there's structural issues making it harder there than in other places? I mean even if you just open a map the geographical obstacle should be pretty apparent... It's an enormous country.
Do you routinely run production services at debug or trace log level?

The point is there's a big difference between "we've got a problem, we need to add logging and redeploy to try and isolate it" versus "we might have a problem, bump the logging level up on that service to see what's going on" (which with the right system you can do without even restarting).
A line of code can tell you what it does but not why. Unless you are on a newish codebase, you will likely need comments to explain why certain decisions were made
I mostly agree; but we are experiencing the Eternal September of AI and bots.

The Republic of Ireland is predicted to have a €65.2bn (£56.3bn) budget surplus by 2027. The government is projecting a headline surplus of €8.6bn (£7.4bn) for this year alone.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c88zg586782o

The government couldn't even spend an allocated €1 billion of its housing budget over the last three years.

If you were Irish you'd know exactly the issue - a mix between the local planning and rural needs schemes which prevent one-off building in established rural communities, and the farce that is An Bord Pleanála - our Planning Authority.

Given our absolute position as a Republic and a Democracy, we have incredible powers for individuals to block major developments. The one in the major Dublin suburb of Dundrum, adjacent the largest shopping Centre in Europe, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Soffit PVC panels are gaining popularity in modern construction due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and practical advantages. These panels are widely used for covering the underside of roof overhangs, also known as soffits. Available in various designs and finishes, soffit PVC panels serve both functional and decorative purposes, making them a valuable addition to residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. In this article, we will explore the key features, benefits, and uses of soffit PVC panels, with a focus on prominent suppliers and manufacturers in India, including Ahmedabad and Delhi.
I agree with you, currently I am only catching the request that have valid http method. I mentioned this in code comments there is todo task to capture different cases as well.

Moreover, I am happy to learn more from you and if you have any recommendation please mention it. This simple implementation has met my needs.

Regarding the performance, to be honest I've not tested it as I am not expert in this domain, so any hit is appreciated.
There are at least three things wrong or misleading about that original title, and possibly worth editing/flagging for:

1) it's missing the (2023)

2) it is/was about the UK (the title omits that)

3) it was a (factually misleading) FB post from July 2023. Refusing cash in a [UK] shop is not an "offence". It may well be annoying customer policy, but not a criminal offence. The article itself says as much. So a more reasonable title would have been:
"Is it legal for UK shops to refuse to accept cash? (2023)"
the premise of the game somewhat reminds me of the book Lanark (great and bizarre)

~"A young man awakes alone in a train carriage, he has no memory of his past. He soon arrives in Unthank, a strange Glasgow-like city in which there is no daylight and whose disappearing residents suffer from strange diseases, orifices growing on their limbs and body heat fading away"

That's a licensing issue - Windows 10 is perfectly capable of doing this, but it's tied to having a Windows Server instance and remote desktop licenses and blah blah blah <proprietary things>. But if you have all that it does work! And it works the same way - multiple users can come back to the same console and resume their session or whatever.

RDP on Windows works really, really well - to the somewhat absurd outcome of course that because of that, it is easier to run Linux locally and Windows remotely when you can use Remmina to connect to the Windows machine so easily.

But the remote Linux experience really should be better.
Code explains the what but not the why. And even then, the what might not be so clearly obvious.

This is one of those blindspots devs have in that they believe their code to be good and obvious to everyone but in reality it is not even good and obvious to their future selves who will be the ones maintaining that code
> I still wonder why people do this. Build an end-user product and give it away for free.

If you don't intend to monetize it at all (or don't think you can), there are other potential benefits:

◌ People using it can draw their attention to your other output.

◌ People using it can be a free testing resource, finding bugs before they affect your own use of the software. They can also be a time sink due to support requests, so this can be a delicate balance.

◌ People using it can be a source of improvement ideas that you have not thought of but which are useful to you once identified.

> It’s just making our work look worthless

Only if the sole way you judge worth is financial income.

> and kills small software companies.

Sometimes this is a deliberate part of the equation, when a large company opens some of their product(s), but usually not.

If your company is surviving on selling a relatively small end-user product like this then you are in danger from other small companies doing the same anyway, even ignoring any F/OSS options, and need to be competing at least in part on other factors like support, quality, and keeping up with changes in the industry (or your users' industry if that differs) so your product stays relevant and useful.
Correct: a market where sellers compete is good for buyers.

Unfortunately in this market the buyers are corporations and the sellers are democratic governments (us).

That’s why this is not good for people.
The tool has a maximum speed of 1000 tickets per second, which may not be fast enough for some users. Hopefully the author will consider adding a 'turbo' option to make the simulation faster so we can get more results in less time.

I left Windows for Linux in 1999 and I do NOT miss how difficult everything was to get working, even with the reasonably user-friendly Red Hat (5? 6?). I even became the maintainer of a Linmodem driver by accident (it was abandoned, the author was uncontactable, and I needed the modem to dial).

I'll take present-day Ubuntu any day. I install it on my desktop, and it just works, GPU and all. I install it on my weird laptop with a touchscreen that swivels 360 degrees and can rotate to a portrait desktop, and it also just works.

IMDB downloading lists via the export endpoint no longer works. Workarounds?
I tried downloading my movie rankings [1] from IMDb and was surprised that they now require a batch process with a waiting period, even for your own data. I assume this delay is to add a Proof of Work (PoW) mechanism to deter scrapers, but it's quite frustrating for regular users.

Not sure what context creation means here that requires machines to speak text to each other, and you could debug the converted human-readable format.
And JSON is also used much for app user-editable config despite lacking such trivial things as comments, so prevalence may signal some need, but not necessarily the need for the thing used (the awful XML is also widely used)
As another concrete application, roads:

https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/opinion/others/easyno...

The idea is more lanes on the highway means more traffic means slower (even though you added a lane!). What goes off of this is what's called "Palin's Corrolary", which is to make traffic faster it's best to have fewer lanes. Politicians apply various techniques for this such as perpetual construction or allocating vast swaths of asphalt for bicycles, to make the traffic flow faster.

So it does make sense that in fact slower chips will make AI faster, and punch cards will make software development faster, as the inverse of these proposed trends.
Can you expand on what you wanted to analyze? Why didn't you just output the polygons immediately?
There's surviving, and there's thriving - tardigrades could probably hang out in a Mars crater for a long time, but what they'd need to sustainably live on an alien planet is something to eat during the periods where conditions are right for them to thaw out. If there's nothing for them to wake up to, they won't be making anymore tardigrades.

Say, a very hardy algae that could make it in some suitable microbiome - like humid cracks in the rocks, or a fungus that could hang out in underground caverns shielded from UV radiation.

If we are trying to seed a place with life where we can't reliably go ourselves, it seems important that the 'colony' should become self-sustaining immediately-ish.

(Also I find the idea of launching swarms of micro-pods loaded up with hardy, tiny lifeforms endearing - like throwing seed bombs over a tall fence :) )
KDE's Konqueror+Krita+a KDE3 twitter tool would be able to do that with DCOP, DBUS grandpa but for KDE3.

Ditto with Haiku OS (and Be) with the 'Hey' tool:

https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/humdinger/2017-11-05_scripting...

On pure CLI tools, that's trivial with some of them sending commands to Chromium, piping the output to ImageMagick and using something like ttytter (now it wouldn't work with the API changes). Replace Twitter with Mastodon and I'm sure you could do that with 'toot'.
There are much newer papers shown than "Attention is All You Need" (all of them?) and much less talked about (probably all of them, too).

Sorry for the delay in replying and thanks for another high-effort (the opposite of low-effort) reply.

To clarify, I didn't think that Einstein was "A lone theoretician plugging away on their own", that was a more general stereotype and kind of hypothetical. My understanding is that even in his time Einstein had ready enough access to others' work and there are at least two famous results of his collaboration with Podolsky and Rosen I'm aware of. It's an interesting question how differently he would have worked in today's world. Even the idea of scientific research is very different today than in his time. I don't reckon he had to spend so much time writing grant proposals as modern senior academics, for instance (fortunately I'm just a post-doc at this point, but I observe the effect it has on my PI; basically, their research career is over. Which is where I come in I guess. Bit of a digression this).

>> (It also goes into "metahistory" of science or metaphysics or whatever which is even less of a passion, so I'm afraid I won't engage with your summary of LeCun. I'm not familiar with him (yes I know, it's HN, but...), there's no obvious overlapping expertise. I'm not sure I'd get it right if I were to comment much more on the relativist/astrophysicist "dance" I mention below, and I simply would not know what I'm talking about when it comes to AI, computer vision, etc.)

I appreciate this. I, too, don't try to have an opinion about everything and anything and prefer to stick to my area of expertise. There are enough different disciplines in AI research that I can probably keep learning until I'm dead; which is what I intend to do.

Thank you for the conversation and I appreciate also your kind deviation from the matters of your immediate interest. It has been a pleasure to read.

For Proof-of-Work applications, at least in blockchains, you need puzzles that

* can be pseudo randomly generated from a seed (usually the hash of a partial blockchain header)

* have a known optimal solution method with a (nearly) constant running time that's at most about one second (for progress freeness this should be a small fraction of the target block time)

NP-hard problems rarely satisfy both these constraints.

This forum is literally the proof that old web still exists, its ugly but efficient.

People there aren't chasing for social recognition or karma and genuinely want to share their opinion.

What's in an E-Graph?
Yeah, especially as you can disable all the other tabs (beyond code). I think that’s been successful in encouraging open contribution projects, but that has also impacted the notion of what open source means to people in a way that isn’t just good.
It's all depending on perspective
I worked at NYT for seven years and I can say from direct personal experience that your many points are not true.
Additionally, they've been on both sides.

If they are looking to invest in a company when they do technical due diligence and bring in a source code auditing company like Synopsis Black Duck any AGPL you're using is so problematic for them it can be a deal breaker. At a minimum it's such a major sticking point it can be one of the most significant things to hold up a transaction as you try to explain why it isn't as problematic as they think.

Having been through that process a couple of times I won't touch AGPL because it's such a PIA - your poison pill.

On the flip side, if they have or are investing in you and and you've made some aspect of your solution open source under AGPL they know any competitor using it is going to have challenges getting VC investment (see point above).

Dublin alone has more than 70,000 people employed in technology and IT companies take 40% of office space, placing it in the top three of EMEA Tech Cluster Rankings by CBRE and the number one location for digital companies. Ireland overall hosts 16 of the top 20 global tech companies and the top 3 enterprise software providers 106,000+ people are employed in the ICT industry.

430+ financial services companies operate in Ireland with 47,000+ people employed in the industry.

Seven of the ten of the world's top pharmaceutical companies including Janssen, AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Merck/MSD, Novartis, and Thermo Fisher Scientific call Cork home. In total there are now over thirty companies operating in the sector that employ over 10,000 people in Cork alone. 90+ pharmaceutical companies operate in Ireland. 45,000 people employed in IDA client companies

We have €116+ billion annual in pharma exports and are the third largest exporter of pharmaceuticals globally.

Ireland is home to 14 of the top 15 MedTech companies – with over 40,000 people employed in the sector

Ask HN: Why is Pave legal?
If you haven't heard of it, Pave is a YC-backed startup that helps startups with compensation. I can't actually access the system so I'm speaking from hearsay and what's information on public parts of their website. The way I understand it works is that you connect Pave to your HR and Payroll systems, they take the data about who you employ and how much you pay them, combine it with all their other companies, and give companies a collective breakdown of compensation ranges.

My question is, isn't this specifically anti-competitive wage fixing? This seems exactly like RealPage but for employee compensation. As far as I know, colluding on wages like this is illegal. Is there something about the company that I'm missing?
Cybersurgeons: The movement challenging the 'use and throw' of tech in Argentina
To run a site with 1B views a month or more you don't need many people. At my $day_job we have hundreds of millions of views per year and we're less than 100 _tech workers_, of which about ~ 10 do infrastructure and the rest are developers.

In order to be successful you need to have quality, not quantity.

But to answer your statement, 600 is a lot of people to have around in the tech part of the company.
> Yes source code is IP - but maybe an expiration system similar to pharmaceuticals should apply where, for instance, a regulator compels a companies to release the sources of their drivers & services when a product or service is no longer officially supported.

For the US, an expiration system is built into the constituion: "for a limited time"

It's just that that expiration has been stretched to absurdity where "a limited time" now means a whole second lifetime after the death of the author.
Comparing Productivity Copilot Options
A related question, how have people found zed's new AI features? From my use a week or 2 ago, it seems they need more devs dogfooding on linux. Putting the OpenAI Api key in the configure tab did nothing. Starting with the environment variable worked around that.
But why wouldn't the solution with TikTok just be to delete your account and the app? I am young like you and that works perfectly fine for me.

If friends want to share videos/tiktoks with me, they download them and then send them with another messaging app so I don't have to go to the platform. And that's not something I force on them but something they do because they really want me to see those videos I suppose.

Would be great if there was a short video/asciinema/charts or some other short form guide on how you are supposed to use it.

It was not clear from the home page what exactly it is and how it works, and I don't really want to read the whole documentation.

For me pesonally Github, Gitlab and Gitea is all about discovery. Their interface is easy to understand, fast to search for repositories and easy to contribute. I am not sure what problem Radicle is solving, other than "reliance on big tech". And it has always been possible to mirror git repos from github and other platforms. You could not mirror issues and CI pipelines, but not sure if Radicle solves that.

> Security by popularity is nonsense

This is not what the author was suggesting. The author is suggesting that, more people using an open source piece of code has a higher chance to be revised which ultimately would lead to a better security.
