A good way to keep a program in your head:

Break it up into a few or several smaller programs that interact through clean interfaces. Then you can keep one smaller, simpler program in your head at a time, then integrate them at the end once all the smaller programs are working.
My school tried this in the early 90s: they held a contest to make class scheduling software. I don't think it worked out- I certainly did not enter it.

This was to replace the previous system: professor John van Alstyne just did it over a weekend.

I will say this is by far the most passionate README.md I've ever seen, lol;

Intuit didn't invent accounting; they've stolen it. Accounting existed before computers, databases, and software. Transactions were recorded in physical journals using pen and paper, which forced accountants to have a better understanding of company finances due to the process of manual entry, with little room for error. Now, the process has been automated through software, and the journal entries are hidden away, leaving only the final report to spot errors and fraud. None of you can call yourselves accountants; you're just QwackBooks users. The truck drivers of the office. Your boss thinks of you as a whiny, tail-dragging *****.

Do you have any particular reason/motivating experience for this ethos? Why not just use a piece of a paper/the default Excel ledger template/the `ledger` CLI tool if it's so important to do things by hand?

P.S. "Truck drivers of the office"...?
Humanity is pushing it. There are some serious lunatics on there.
>We should go back to glass bottles, whenever possible.

There are very good, very practical reasons we moved from glass (and metal and other materials) containers to plastic. Unless those factors are sufficiently addressed, plastic is here to stay.

For those who haven't been keeping track or are just too damn young to know history, those factors include:

* Weight. Glass and metal, and also other materials like ceramic and wooden containers, are heavy compared to plastic. This additional weight means it takes more energy to transport, meaning more costs in fuel and labor.

* Fragility. This namely applies to glass; glass containers are fragile and they are very dangerous to handle if and when they break. Plastic containers are much more durable, and even if they break they are seldom as dangerous as broken glass. More broken containers also mean more goods lost to spillage, which in turn means additional cost to re-manufacture and re-ship.

* Durability. Going along with the above, plastics are equal to metal containers in keeping contents and the outside world separated. This is incredibly important for ensuring food safety.

* Contaminants. This applies primarily to metal containers, but also paper and sometimes ceramic. Metals leach into foods, this is mostly prevented with special coatings but it's not perfect and the coatings themselves are also contaminants that will eventually leach. Likewise paper containers which have coatings applied so liquids don't seep through, and sometimes ceramic containers to prevent leaching. We know these contaminants are bad, unlike microplastics where we still aren't conclusively sure.

* Cost. Plastic is cheap compared to basically every other material we can make containers out of. This is a great boon to the consumer who ultimately ends up paying the most markup.
If the same people here are the ones killing people there, then surely you see the connection. I don't need to be the victim of a serial killer to not want to dine with one.
No, the idea is that the app has the server's public key embedded in them, and they use that to verify that they're connecting only to the server with the corresponding private key.
It'd be ten times that cost, easily. You have to buy data volume.

Also since you aren't targetting specific people, rather specific interests, it'd be easier to setup an irresistible site serving content of the vice of interest. It can even be a thin wrapper on existing sites. Do you only need to control entry nodes in that case? You'll return user-identifying data in headers or steganographically encoded in images and since you control the entry node you can decrypt it. It doesn't work for a normal (unaffiliated) entry node but since your entry node is in collusion with the server I think this works.

So what does this mean for a Tesla on an NACS charger? Do they already support CCS over that port, or is it a software update?

I know Teslas were already CCS in Europe, so I wouldn't be surprised if the software is already basically there.
If there were no need for tax avoidance accountants, they very well might have chosen to study to become software engineers instead. It's not like they were born a tax avoidance accountant and would be sitting in the field rotting if they couldn't find work avoiding taxes. Many would at least be regular accountants (efficiently allocating money is still more useful to all of us than efficiently avoiding taxes), or maybe some other sort of lawyer (your city's prosecutors AND your city's public defenders are both sorely overworked).

75% [0] of all Tor nodes are hosted within 14 Eyes [1] countries, so it would actually be quite trivial for the NSA to de-anonymize a Tor user.

It baffles me that Tor Browser doesn't provide an easy way to blacklist relays in those countries.

[0] Here, you can do the math yourself: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#aggregate/all

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes#Fourteen_Eyes

> Edit: For all the cynics and doomsayers here, consider this: Tor has been around for a long time, but there has never been an uptick in arrests that could be correlated to cracking the core anonymity service. If you look closely at the actual high profile cases where people got busted despite using tor, these people always made other mistakes that led authorities to them.

Maybe someone, somewhere, has decided that allowing petty criminals to get away with their crimes is worth maintaining the illusion that Tor is truly private.

It's also worth noting that it's significantly easier to find the mistakes someone has made that could lead to their identity if you already know their identity.
As a mountaineer as well, thank you for capturing my shared frustration. Before synthetic bags, heavy canvas bags were used and typically required hiring a pack mule, donkey, or sherpa. Synthetics made mountaineering and the outdoors accessible to the common person.

If you are using a hosting provider, you are by definition not "self hosting", since you are in fact, not hosting (unless you happen to own the hosting provider company).

I actually self-host tools, and that involves having (in my case) a couple of rackmount servers in my spare bathroom, and an rPi5 with a 4x m.2 hat on my desk. Hell, even just running stuff on your own desktop/laptop is self-hosting.

But PaaS and SaaS are just as not-self-hosted as IaaS is. It's literally cloud hosting.

I find it very difficult and out of place to discuss these kind of matters in HN. particularly because it is a very US centric forum, the user base share a lot of preconceptions and ideals that come from the education their society gave them.

It's expected, it's OK, but it just prevents discussion of certain topics.
Ya, I run into a lot of EU citizens who open companies in the USA for similar reasons...

I love Spain; I want to live there and start a business there (and hire there). But I can't because my tax rate in some years will be 110% (or more) of my personal income. I was going to owe more than I made every year which blows my mind...

Part of that is because I am stuck between the Spanish and American tax systems, and the American tax system seems to not recognize wealth taxes, so I can't get a tax credit for what I pay in Spain (Spain caps total taxes at 60% when combining the wealth tax with income to try to stop the problem I sketch out).

I still have hope that one day I can move to Spain and this will get sorted.

My experience has been Claude is better at all coding/technology questions and exploratory learning. It's also night/day better at less common tech/languages than others (try asking ChatGPT questions about Svelte, for example).

Claude is also vastly better with creative writing (adcopy) and better at avoiding sounding like a LLM wrote it. It's also vastly better at regular writing (helping you draft emails, etc).

We were using OpenAI's Teams for a while. Tried Claude out for a few days - switched the entire company over and haven't looked back.

OpenAI gets all the hype - but there are better products on the market today.

Google's IP to location mapping is so bad it has to be intentional.

Even though others in the household were still there, they started getting default-Japanese pages on google/maps/youtube/...

That's not true. I still regularly use an old Dell Latitude from almost 15 years ago sometimes - it cost under $150. I can do everything I need on it, even compile Firefox. I can't run most new AAA games, but can play a bunch of FPS games from about up until when it came out. It still plays CSGO just fine, for example.

Isn't intent of sanctions to weaken the adversary? Providing services, even free-tier (or, may be, especially so), to sanctioned countries is exactly the opposite of that.
While it seems few bystanders suffered physical injuries, it's naive imho to think that this won't cause enormously elevated fear among the population at large. 'Koolaid' is still synonymous with mass cult poisoning in the US even though that incident happened ~50 years ago in a different country. Everyone in Lebanon is having nightmares about random electronic devices turning out to be bombs, even though they know that's logically not the case. Just like people in New York feel differently about seeing airliners than they did before 9-11.

Must resist... nitpicking... no I can't. Betamax originally didn't sell tapes which could record more than 1 hour. So people couldn't tape movies onto a single tape, but had to use 2 tapes.

What I really came to say is that the current reality is worse. In this analogy, not only did BetaMax win, neither BetaMax nor VHS came to Europe, but instead Philips 2000 won there. (US Teslas don't fast-charge in Europe.)
In a plot twist, MOLOCH was never necessary because a corporation of people who relinquish ethical responsibility to do everything and anything for personal gain was already in charge under the name... CORPORATRON.
Yeah, I had the same theory when Google did this with a free-tier VPN IP that was in Turkey. It claimed I was in Tehran - and, when I looked at the map of servers, the Turkish server I was connected to was the closest to Tehran.
Plus, plastics is a very very broad term. Saying "ban all plastics" isn't the same as saying ban lead, it's the same as saying "ban all metals".

Respectfully, a large number of people rightfully fear for their lives, safety, and freedom due to being stalked or abused by a current or former partner. I have personally known several.

> Of course, this isn't what the LA Times actually reported

This is a good point. The LA Times does not report incidents involving ambulances other than in the first half of the sentence that you quoted:

And the report of a video of an ambulance exploding

> Video from a funeral ceremony in the country’s south depicted an explosion inside an ambulance, leading bystanders to run away in panic.
The price usually varies over the day; in the morning (until ~10am IIRC) and late at night here in the Seattle area it's 14¢/kWh for supercharging and my residential electricity is around 11¢/kWh.

But, if you can't charge at work nor at home, EV car isn't worth it.
Yes, but are their teams co-located? inter-team meetings should be a lot rarer than intra-team meetings.
Isn't this true for every job?

This seems like a biased angry rant rather than a legitimate criticism, coming from the perspective of being an academic PI running a research lab.

In what sense are an academics accomplishments not "real world achievements?" excepting cases of fraud, etc.

To get tenure you need to publish a lot of papers in good journals as the lead PI. Co-authorship means you were supervising people, e.g. effectively running a team doing novel research, even if you didn't do all of the work yourself.

You can't really publish papers in the "hard sciences" without actually doing valuable real world stuff. Running a life sciences wet lab for example means you are actually operating a biotech lab and doing real physical experiments, basically the same type of stuff one would do in industry. Computational labs nowadays are typically maintaining and releasing software along with their papers, and will often employ a team of professional software engineers (I do so in my lab). To do these experiments you need to win grant proposals which fund doing them, which means you are working on something deemed important by a well funded granting organization or agency, and you have a track record of delivering results when you've won grants in the past. For example, the NIH only funds research with clear human health implications, under priorities set by congress.

At my institution the majority of my colleagues have spun off multiple startups, and have a huge number of patents that are licensed by industry. They are in general making the same type of discoveries and research that industry is doing- but at an earlier stage, they can do things that won't pay off in VC timelines.
Most heavy tasks are not implemented in python so even a 4x speedup in an implementation doesn't matter for most wrapper code plus pypy isn't fully compatible with cpython.

And fewer and fewer people are building large business logic applications in Python (Django is dying out, for instance).

I think pypy is still probably the second most common python implementation though.
Why on earth would you train AI on that? In the social media world it's already the closest thing resembling boring, unreadable machine generated content.

No matter what you ask it, it'll brag about what a great job it's doing answering you, announce that it's having a baby, then tell everybody that it's being let go because there are better AI. It'll thank a few key people who it worked with, and tell you that it's actually thrilled with this opportunity to take a break from answering your question, and will spend more time on its old hobby of being an online resume.
I’m not sure how much more useful that is than just using HN’s automatic ranking for comments, at least outside of parent comments on posts; As far as I can tell, child comments are always ORDER BY score DESC.

In my case I am just interested in the software I'm running behind the proxy. I use CF tunnels to expose my internal services, and spend my tinkering time on the actual services, rather than (to me) wasting the time to bother with worrying about updating IPs or setting up custom auth schemes (I keep a lot of my services locked down entirely behind github SSO, so you can't even reach my e.g. Jellyfin login page without first being auth'd to github as me, which basically prevents all brute-force attempts on my services).

What they're doing is almost literally the opposite of EEE. If OpenAI actually had open models, then Facebook could take those models, add their own non-open things to the models, and use this new stuff as a business advantage over OpenAI. Instead, they're independently developing their own models and releasing them as open source to lower the value of proprietary models.

A great article that accurately describes the challenges I've faced over the past 12 years while creating the best project for programmers and the various attempts to find work and funding, observing all the madness in the organizations It seems like the best of it was left in 2007, from which we still draw inspiration and knowledge, while since 2008 we've been living in a new world of marketing and wars. The insatiable interests of faceless systems are destroying everything alive in this great science of "programming".
