Our pediatrician strongly encouraged us to introduce nuts young. It was not just about developing finance tolerance, it's that the reaction would be less severe when you are younger and your immune system is less developed.

Also, death from anaphylactic shock is much, much, much rarer than I was led to believe. Only a few dozen cases a year, and the majority had compounding health issue (like asthma or heart problems). The anecdotes about people almost dying are just that.
The Palestinian state also didn’t exist.

Sure but even though I myself used the term state in my comment, I do not think that states are what matters. What matters are the people living in the region, it is their right to decide what should and should not happen, whether they are formally organized as a state or not. At the time of the Balfour Declaration the Jews were a five to ten percent minority in Mandatory Palestine. In the end it should have been the decision of the people living there - state or not - whether they want to accommodate the Jews that desired to settle there and even more so should it have been their decision whether they want the land split into two states.

The Israelis illegitimately took have of the land from the Palestinians with force and then occupied the other half when they resisted. Similar things happend all throughout history and they can not be undone. The people of Israel will not be forced back to where they came from just as we will not send all Americans back to Europa, Africa, and Asia to give the land back to the native Americans.

But the Palestinians deserve better than the status quo, they are the ones that were treated unjust. Israel should go out of its way to make good on past wrongs, if it does not hurt them, they are not doing enough. Israel now has a right to exist, they do not have to accept existential threats, but they owe the Palestinians a lot.
My wife grew up in the Cultural Revolution. I grew up in an unsafe and disordered environment. When I made peak money we spent a lot on awesome experiences, then saved a good chunk. Instead of making payments on a house in the kind of enclave where pro athletes lived, we paid cash in a FAANG neighborhood. Both of us have zero expectations about the future. We have no debt and I retired comfortably but not too lavishly. Our farmhouse is not beautiful but we can afford a good health plan.

We both understood sunk costs from the beginning. We know governments love to take things. Of course we could have saved more. But the people I grew up with are dead or homeless addicts. Many of the people she grew up with were destroyed or disappeared by the government. If catastrophe strikes, and we have to move to a shoebox outside of Cleveland, that’s what we’ll do.

Fatalism has worked out well for us. We are exceptionally fortunate to think congruently on those matters.
> It isn't exactly news, though.

It's exactly news. It spots the issue, dives into it, exposes the source of it, and details the structure of how it came into existence. That's what news is. That you're not surprised by it is not material.

Ironically you are the one who characterized this article as "not news."
> I CAN JUST TURN TARGETED ADS OFF

The only reason you have the option to do this is because of groups pushing back against advertising companies. Ad companies have no incentive to offer the option to disable targeting.

Snowden pointed and everyone looked at his finger. It was a huge shame, but a cultural sign that the US is descending into a surveillance hell hole and people are ok with that. As someone who was (and still is) vehemently against PRISM and NSLs and all that, it was hard to come to terms with. I'm going to keep building things that circumvent the "empire" and hope people start caring eventually.

> "because I don't want to learn something new."

I inherited a Visual Fortran program that was written in Visual Fortran because the original developer (who also maintained it for ~15 years) knew Fortran and was not comfortable in other languages. Not because it was a good idea. I was tasked with reimplementing it in C# which was not a bad idea (the target, successful, was to have it as a standalone program or a plugin in another program also written in C#). Almost any language could have been used, but in context C# was a reasonable choice.

It's a very common and, to me, very curious attitude. Once you learn how to reason about programs and the logic of programs generally, unless you hit the fringes most languages offer very similar semantics. That said, that particular program was decidedly unstructured (goto's everywhere) so perhaps he really didn't feel comfortable in modern languages or modern uses of his favored Fortran.

Show HN: TexSandbox – An AI-assisted LaTeX editor, in the browser
Hi HN,

Curious how many folks here use LaTeX in their work or study?

I built this as a solo dev to scratch my own itch: https://TexSandbox.com/

Uses a mix of Claude 3.5 Sonnet and gpt-4o/gpt-4o-mini, hosted on Vercel + Modal Labs.

I was a PM for most of my career (math before that), so was usually spending more time in emails + meetings than coding.

But I'm amazed now at how productive I can be as a single engineer with the help of tools like Claude + Cursor (and great infra / open source).

Claude helped with a lot of the coding here, as well as UX, marketing copy, legal, etc.

Just looking for feedback at this point. If there’s anything that would make this more useful for you, let me know!
> If you replaced the iPhone's 4500mAh battery with a 3500mAh one containing RDX and a 3G radio, you'd have to be mega-paranoid before you noticed the difference.

There’s a 0% chance Apple wouldn’t detect that. A huge difference in battery life like that would fail QC and even the weight would have to be very close before it wouldn’t be flagged for inspection. The liability for battery fires means so dude at the factory isn’t just saying “probably fine” and using them anyway.

> Apple's hardware security, much like their software security, is mostly predicated on marketing and not the transparent or accountable defense of your device.

Have you personally audited it, or are we just being asked to accept this because it would support your tribal affinities?
Great step into full cross-platform passkey sync capability - now only iOS of the major operating systems is left. This will be only a matter of time IMO.
We live in the literal era of life imitating art and you think I'm off base?

You're off base. Sure there is a sort of "natural" instinct to play hierachy games and even for some to bully within all humans, but to imply that this isn't wildly skewed from country to country or culture to culture indicates that you simply haven't been exposed to one of the situations where bullying is cracked down upon.

It's quite rare to see "bullying" in the traditional sense within a lot of south east asia since the teachers are so shitty and strict, often there's an "us vs them" mentality that develops unique amount of camaraderie between students and teachers.

Bullying reasons are also totally different. "Four Eyes" and other stuff against glasses is super duper uncommon, again in Asia since almost literally everyone there now wears glasses. Go to South Korea and you won't be bullied for sitting in front of a computer all the time, but you certainly will for being fat.

But nerds getting shoved in lockers? The entirety of the "Krelboynes" in malcom in the middle? In poor countries, smart kids are seen as a one way ticket out of the hell-hole known as poverty and are often the most popular in their schools.
Here's hoping that some HN users discover Leonard Cohen via this thread! For me it was life changing.. up there with the impact of Glass, Ali Farka Toure, the genre of Flamenco in and of itself, Simon Shaheen, Ennio Morricone, Goran Bregovic, Yann Tiersen, Islands, etc, on me. (although a lot of these aren't really related to each other, just sort of speaking to that "musical impact" on a person)
Oh Jeez! Yes, apologies. I even just wrote a whole explainer for our internal folks on OTLP vs. OLTP. (Lolfail!)

Optimising for High Latency Environments
This must not be done prematurely. Replacing function calls with processes quickly break “go to definition” and all the other conveniences or guardrails provided by your compiler toolchain.

Unfortunately been dropped into that situation. The system was constantly broken due to missing of malformated arguments. Nobody dared to change anything.

Same applies to prematurely microservicing a monolith. At least there folks seem to be sensible enough to use protobufs or json, instead of loosely typed strings.
I'm confused by your question because this isn't anything new. They just renamed the old Remote Desktop App which was already available for alternate platforms like MacOS. I don't see how that changes anything for developers that they couldn't do before.

Right those existed, too.

I think bottom up it's Java, J2ME, CLDC, MIDP.

So the programmer really works with MIDP.

> make the big brands like Apple/Samsung the only trusted device manufacturers and completely wipe out the small ones?

It's not a question of manufacturing but one of intercepting devices in the transit / shipping network. The brands most likely have nothing to do with it except allowing repair manuals to fall into the wrong hands - which they can't prevent even if they wanted to.

I am also unconvinced we know the real reason for increased peanut allergies. I still tend to believe the eczema and skin cream theory.

No one in my family except my son has peanut allergies. He did have severe eczema and we diligently applied all kinds of skin creams. It was only later I learned eczema means a breakdown of the skin blood barrier. Maybe this led to exposure to allergens in the air or even in the creams that led to him developing peanut allergy?

We had an internal discussion about how to manage dependencies effectively, and we made the decision accept the risk that comes with blindly relying on Chrome for now, instead of investing heavily in mitigating that risk today.

The main motivator was for us to continue moving fast, and accept that we have a few hard dependencies in our business.

The goal is to find product market fit, then allocate time to de-risk some of these hard dependencies. If we fail to find product market fit, this may not matter at all

This is a cool approach. Definitely better than an all-at-once cutover!

If only Ruby had better support for static typing though. Clearly infinite dynamism works for some folks and a lot of successful businesses, but I couldn't live without a type checker pointing me towards all of the places that need fixing. Kind of forces you to have comprehensive test coverage or you're screwed, which maybe isn't a bad thing.

> If you like having this option available, then you should like this FTC report and the position they are taking.

I can like other positions and actions the FTC has done, like requiring the ability to turn off targeted ads, and not like others, like this one. This is among the biggest problems in politics right now. Supporting a political party doesn't mean you need to 100% back all their opinions and policies, thats how change is effected in successful democratic systems.
I was talking with a friend who runs a building site. One of his crew took the guard off an angle grinder to fit a disc that was designed for a larger tool.

I think some of what's depicted is what Windows RT should have been. There was lots of talk in the 2011 era about docking your tablet and getting a full desktop experience, and similar things. Some of the video is showing similar scenarios.

I thought back then that the biggest mistake was to not lean more heavily into the existing Win32 ecosystem, which was the one big asset Microsoft had. Imagine if they had spent less time building tablet UIs nobody wanted, and more time working on solutions to let people access the Win32 world from your tablet, which is what I see in this video.

In my experience Gemini 1.5 Pro was giving me more complete code than Claude, but the Gemini-generated code would not compile (C++ code) due to several errors. I was going back and forth with Gemini and it became clear that it was in a "loop" (it would suggest a fix and then that wouldn't work and it would suggest the original code again, wash, rinse, repeat). Then when I asked Claude why that code wouldn't compile it immediately identified the problems (mainly due to libclang API changes over various versions) and the code compiled.
Not really, because honestly a lot of us who came into programming via research never learned typed languages or unit tests or any of those best practices - we were just hacking around in MATLAB, R, or Python from the start. What I really need is a seamless and easy way to run statistical models that can only be fit in R, but from Python or Node. There are several categories of statistical modeling where R completely blows python out of the water, and it's incredibly wasteful (and error-prone) to try to re-implement these yourself in Python.
Your comment is really coming across as "well, nothing bad has happened yet so who cares?" If that's not the case, please let me know how you meant it. If it is the case, surely you can imagine a world in which dragnet surveillance of people who have an expectation of privacy can be abused by corporations, institutions, or private individuals. It really doesn't take a lot of imagination to picture this world.
