Personally, I've always created shell scripts too. Or PowerShell scripts if I need Windows based support (like for Golang projects that might see Windows based usage.) I find they're way, way better and easier to work with.

That being said, the only issue preventing me from using shell scripts well is shared code. Like common functions etc. So far I've simply used a common.sh script and sourced/imported it.

Also, what do you do once you have 4-5 shell scripts at the root of your project? I find it gets messy quickly. I need a solution for this.

But yes, I agree shell scripts are generally better.
I would theoretically prefer that as well, but it doesn't give you shell completion of targets/tasks for free like Make does. So for "UX parity", you'd also have to write a completion script and get users to source it into their shells somehow, which isn't great.
I saw a comment, iirc it was on some YouTube video, claiming that raising a child is like LLM training with a good dataset. It was an interesting take to hear but that we all develop using "synthetic data" generated by the same neural architecture because we are all human. We all grow up learning similar things like how to read or write, math etc. Its not until we are older that we use the training to really create "new" ideas. In a way teachers are just reward reinforcement systems designed to optimize each neural model (the student).

How we live can be predicted roughly based on ones individual training data, like what language was used in teaching, the years of education etc.

Its a really interesting idea in a weird way.
Makefiles are like exec readme.

Put complex stuff in scripts and call script from makefile.
Has that been tested in court? In my jurisdiction?
“Only Linux containers exist?“

In practice, yes.
Because it will continue to sell - it's a porsche.

Something i wouldn't do, but i understand.
FCC wants all phones unlocked in sixty days, AT&T and T-Mobile aren't so keen
Because not all human interaction is equal. It equivocates talking to a cashier at the grocery store to hanging out with friends.
I thought sshfs on Linux is no longer maintained
Personally I found just issues with people not understanding WFH, those with no home office room, those who work on a laptop, always at the same desk of course and so on. There are MANY, but that's not a WFH problem, is simply a problem of training people to something they do not already know even if they practiced it for some years.

The only who really do not work well from home anyway are those with "home issues" (familiar, of mere available space etc) and well, using the office as a way to leave their personal issue aside is not a good thing, nor the purpose of work.

Beside that I think it's totally absurd in 2024 wasting enormous resources to build big buildings used for less than 12h/day, to commute between them in order to consume services (from transportation to ready made food), get exposed to physical ads (shop windows, mega-screens and so on), participating in rituals pushing people to consume fast fashion and fast tech, augmenting the enormous pile of polluting rubbish we produce just to save the giants of capitalism who can't live without the big city Barnum circus... People just need to learn and stop consider the home the place to sleep, a whole home used for just few activities, whole buildings used for just few hours, only to keep people pastured in old rituals is really untenable.
I think it’s likely we have passed the peak of R/D spend on ICE, but the momentum of research that has gone into it for decades is going to continue to produce innovations for a while longer.
The days I'm forced at the office I need to wake up two hours earlier, get home at least one hour later, usually two because for some reason I always end up doing overtime at the office. When I get home I still have chores to do which I usually do in the pauses when WFH. Little energy I have left I spend with the wife.

People bond at the office because they have no personal time and energy left to bond outside.
It's reasonable until you consider digital media that you didn't buy on physical media. Without that physical copy you get no resale rights.
What you're writing is incredible honestly.

You say Brasil is a dictatorship, yet we're talking about a country where the current president is a left wing guy coming back to power after his party being beaten by the right wing previous president and been jailed himself for corruption charges which eventually got dismissed.

It's the kind of thing that doesn't exist in dictatorship. In a dictatorship

- there's no such thing as a former president doing a comeback

- no former president goes to jail when his party is in power, or that's because he got betrayed by his own party

- there's no political switch between parties with such a dramatic different world views

> Censorship is when the government shows up and deletes what you said. And censorship equals dictatorship

Your definition of censorship is delusional: freedom of speech, like any freedom, can never be absolute, and it's always and everywhere regulated by laws.
Hm... a RAG over DB of logical rules actually may be interesting. But loosely stitched predicates you can easily put to work with some random dice when you decide inference.

Chris Coyne of OKCupid and KeyBase (https://chriscoyne.com/) produced ContextFree (https://www.contextfreeart.org/) before all that. It is a grammar-based inference with probabilistic chance for the inference of the next rule. Very very very inspiring, not only because of the aesthetic side of the result. Digging further you find ProbLog which allows probabilities for rules (https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/problog/tutorial/basic/08_rule_p...)

So how about we start thinking of AI as combination of the graphical probabilistic whatever which compresses the infromation from the training set in a very lossy manner; which is then hooked, internally or externally, with a discreet logical core, whenever CoT is needed. So this construct now can benefit from both worlds.
Please help me understand why this thing exists. Like, no snark, I like using the proper tool for a job -- when would I look at the project and think "this is something that is better done with 'just' tool". Instead of readme.txt and a folder with scripts
The idea offers plenty of room for creativity, but I was limited by the small black-and-white screen. There's no way to show trees bending in the wind or snails crawling across it. However, there's still space in the sky to add fun elements, like a stork for someone's birthday or Santa's sleigh during the holidays. I'm waiting for larger, full-color E-Ink screens to become affordable.
Hollywood overestimates its relevance. I don’t own one but Teslas are still the best electric cars.
"Free trade" globalism aka outsourcing everything is indeed self-destructive. Liberals are just as much to blame as conservatives when it comes to not protecting our national interests. They can say whatever works, but if they get out of line with the globalist establishment then they are systematically pushed out by big money interests.

At this point, cutting spending is the right move in general. But that isn't going to happen because it's too unpopular. And whether we do cut spending or not, hard times are ahead.
I find the fundamental argument flawed. Your employer is allegedly not competing with SpaceX in either case. Howver, you're still supposedly competing with other companies in your bracket? In that context, it could give a competitive advantage.
Rails won't die because Ruby is nice to build with and Javascript is a sadistic nightmare. I don't use it myself but I absolutely see the appeal. What more modern alternatives even attempt to compete on DX?
From Wikipedia:

> The mountain is named after Annapurna, the Hindu goddess of food and nourishment, who is said to reside there. The name Annapurna is derived from the Sanskrit-language words purna ("filled") and anna ("food"), and can be translated as "everlasting food".[8] Many streams descending from the slopes of the Annapurna Massif provide water for the agricultural fields and pastures located at lower elevations.[9]
The section you're referring to is meant to first give the update rule for the general-case of a reaction that is not autocatalytic.

I'm not sure what made you think it should have 4C, but if you want to explain me the reasoning that led you to this conclusion, I'd be glad to fix the article and make it clearer
I have a suspicion that a lot of people who rant about makefiles using tabs also praise python for the brilliance of using whitespace for scoping. Or who love yaml for its indented block structure.

Nah, who am I kidding ... no one loves yaml, it's just better than most of the alternatives.
I know this is not your main point, and you touched briefly on it but, cmake is absolutely terrible.

It is supposed to make the building process more straight forward and painless but what it brings to the table is

* Weird bugs: In one version of cmake would return the python version that I had to be 0.16 (????) and the only fix was to update the cmake version

* Messy Structure: Under the guise of giving freedom to the person designing their build with no real enforcement of any rules, in any way, people can write their own absolute craptastic version of cmake scripts which really really is going to make you lose your mind (mind you some people leverage it but it is the exception not the rule)

* Opaque process: Due to the fact that the structure can be messy you are never really quite sure of what it is doing and which compile flags are effectively fed to the compiler as well as sometimes totally ignoring the library you explicitly ask it to use and trying to find another one...

OK maybe this is a bit superlative, but unfortunately for me, reflects well my experience with using cmake and feels like an extra item between me and getting things working painlessly... But I might have been doing it wrong.
Because it's the only thing these companies know how to do.

Put them in a folder! I see "tools" used commonly for dev/build scripts
And what I'm getting at is that in that circumstance, not using Tor is worse, because at that point they have a weak case but are now searching your residence to backfill their case with whatever circumstantial innuendo they can dredge up from a fishing expedition. If you've actually been using Tor then they get less of your browser history and are deprived of material to take out of context. Instead they're left with only the rhetorical argument you propose, which is still weak.
Write a Python script instead? Easily cross platform. Nice libraries for CLI args. Easy to debug with a real debugger. Pretty nice?
Check Ernst & young for wirecard or PwC for Evergrande for the latest examples, both banned temporarily or fined for their involvement.
A good headline could make you buy the paper(back in the day when people bought physical newspapers). And some were works of art.

My absolute favourite- the back page (sports headline of the Scottish Daily Record). For context, the night before struggling northern football team Inverness Caledonian Thistle had soundly beaten the Glaswegigian titans Celtic. The resulting headline?

SUPER CALLY GO BALLISTIC CELTIC WERE ATROCIOUS!!

Pure genius from a subeditor.
Gaskets require pressure. Adhesive doesn't. Different solutions for different problems.
I think the problem isn't it being open source but it being GitHub flavored open source.
If you're building a product, you probably should not be having it on GitHub with issues enabled.

There are very good reasons why the support processes of commercial entities that build products are the way they are. You do want a lot more friction and you do likely want to limit support to paying customers.

GitHub-style public issue trackers are just a bad idea overall IMO. They only work if the "public" is only "public" because everyone _in theory_ could take part. In practice however, you only want to grant such unlimited write access to vetted individuals. This happened to happen automatically previously (because getting to the point where you even know where to open a ticket _was_ part of the vetting process), but with GitHub as the default for everyone and everything, it needs to be a conscious effort.

If you think about it, it is completely insane how any random individual just has to press one button to publish whatever they want to a super prominent part of what is effectively your products/projects website. That simply shouldn't be a power random individuals have
As an occasional user the Rails experience has suffered quite a lot over the years because the Javascript and CSS integration has become really unclear.

The options and combination are too many, the work to change something too great for the single developer. It is okay if you want to use Tailwind or Bootstrap.

I confess I don't get what importmaps really do (how can they get rid of the need to precompile js assets?).
Why is it a dead end? I agree that it should be, but it seems the entire world is walking back the commitment to a full transition to EVs.

Show HN: A tool to easily convert any web page into an eBook
I’ve built a tool that allows you to convert any web content into an ebook with just a few clicks.

The idea came from my need to frequently save articles or web pages as ebooks for offline reading and sharing.

However, I found existing tools either too complex or lacking flexibility, so I decided to create something simpler, faster, and that supports both EPUB and PDF formats.

Key Features:

- Quick Conversion: Input a list of URLs, with each URL treated as a chapter, and the tool will automatically generate an ebook in either EPUB or PDF format.

- Content Optimization: It automatically optimizes the content for better structure and readability in ebook format.

- Multilingual Support: It works with web pages in multiple languages.
EPUB or PDF Output: You can choose the format you prefer.

- Send Directly to Kindle: You can send the generated ebook directly to your Kindle device from Ebookany.

I’d love to get feedback from the community to help improve the tool and add new features.

Feel free to try the tool here: https://ebookany.com.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to your thoughts!
personal attack or not, you could have just left that last bit off and had a good comment.

There's always been a mythos of a true developer. Here's a rant from 1983 about how real programmers don't use Pascal. https://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html

Kids these days...
No, really, I've tried it and its okay for a crow's flight over these papers, but I'd never put my trust in random() to fetch me precisely what I'm looking for.

My daily usage of ChatGPT, Claude, etc. for nearly 2 years now shows one and the same - unless I provide enough of the right context for it to get the job done, job is never done right. ever. accidentally maybe, but never ever. and this becomes particularly evident with larger documents.

The pure RAG-based approach is a no go, you cannot be sure important stuff is not omitted. The "feed the document into Context" still by definition will not work correctly thanks to all the bias accumulated in the LLMs layers.

So it is a way to approach papers if you really know what they contain, and know the surrounding terminology. But this is really a no go if you read about .... complex analysis and know nothing about algebra in 5th degree. Sorry, this is not gonna work, and will probably summarily take longer as total time/energy on behalf of the reader.
Has there been any framework or library that has had the reach of Ruby on Rails in the last 2 decades that has died?
Two thoughts.

Suppose I deem it safe and useful for my 6yo to drive for a while, using his Xbox controller from the passenger seat.

It is illegal in many countries for a device (or anything else) to obscure any part of the driver's forward view (area swept by wipers). So even without actually controlling the car, we have an unlawful vehicle.
The reason why Gradle needs this junk in the first place is that they aggressively change and deprecate APIs. Tried to build a 6 year old project today and of course nothing works. Gradle wrapper proved pretty useful here. Make, on the other hand, has maintained almost perfect compatibility since it's inception.
Don't take it too seriously :)
There was definitely a period where the "renewables are too expensive" propaganda was winning and right wing German parties were successful in slowing renewables, particularly offshore wind rollout in Germany.

This will have cost them Billions, similar to the British right wing effectively banning onshore wind in Emgland at roughly the same time.

Both nations have done well with renewables, but could have done better and saved money and supported local business at the same time.
"best" is relative. They are innovative in some things.
For reference, Annapurna Interactive are not a mainstream publisher churning out franchise type games, but tend to publish unique games, some of them considered classics:

- Outer Wilds

- Stray

- Lorelei and the laser eyes

- Cocoon

- Neon White

...and others. https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/annapurnainteractiv...

This is a real shame for anyone who cares about really distinctive, original games.
Lucid unquestionably owns the title of best electric car.

And in my opinion Porsche deserves second place.

But at price points well out of reach of most people.
so, 99.9% of all businesses? passion or not a company will gut your position if it means more money or power.

But yes, this is an extreme scenario. it sounds (crudely put) like Ellison saw the pandemic, completely retreated for a while, then decided to come back and act like nothing changed and just shuffeled stuff around. Then when her labor decided they wanted to be more independent she sat on her hands.

I'm just proud the workers for a rare time could actually just completely walk away. Many issues would be solved almmost overnight if workers could coordinate a joint walkout like this.
Not this again.

The ASPI methodology is to use algorithms to count journal citations to determine who is "ahead". They don't directly examine the state of the technology. That's not to say that the conclusion, at least broadly speaking, is necessarily wrong, but journal citations don't directly translate into implementable technology.

It does make for great headlines however, which are free publicity for ASPI and whatever agenda they might be pushing.
I think sometimes cyber is still seen as an unnecessary cost. Plenty of places do bare minimum for security, and most of the time its after an incident that budgets suddenly get raised.

Software, hardware, policy, and employee training are all things one must focus on.
You can't just start making rdx or fireworks without the proper paperwork, permits, licenses, fees, and a lawyer around to navigate everything. You run a business without investing anything into IT and cybersecurity, you just make it easier for an incident to occur. And remember, just because your product isn't IT or cyber security dosnt mean its losing money, it a cost of doing buissness in our regulated market. You mishandle HIPPA, PII or sensitive info, and the customers realize you didn't take basic steps to stop this, you open yourself to a lawsuit. Think about it like this, investing in it every day means your lowering that risk, however much you think is reasonable to pay for, and every day its paying for itself.
I live how right-wing guys would call any of their opponent a “communist”, even Joe Bidden got called a socialist by some republicans…

Believe it or not, but social democracy based on welfare state (which has nothing to do with Communism) is the only thing that works. (And ironically that what defeated the communist ideology).

The fact that its opponents have to conflate it with Communism as their only argument shows all that needs to be about their reasoning.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with him, Elon has really offered everyone a masterclass in alienating your own customer base.
This is not a WFH peculiarity, is the bad company architecture to blame, where workers can extort time and managers can't see that. It might happen more FH than FO simply because managers tend to have little to know digital culture, but it's still not a work mode peculiarity.

The real issue is that with the big RTO push to save cities, who can't be saved BTW, avoided baking a WFH culture where people take WFH seriously providing an office room per worker at home, with all things needed there, instead of working with craptops anywhere. It's not different from people who take a photo of an email and send it via WA because they do still not having a clue about CC/BCC.
Presumably as Porsche is not about efficient transportation; it is about emotion, driving as an experience, making a statement, etc.

Chances are there will be - or, at least, Porsche appears to bet there will be - a sufficient number of well-heeled enthusiasts who prefer the sound, smell and vibration of an ICE to the quiet performance of an electric motor.

I am really curious to see how this pans out in a generation or two - I suspect nostalgia plays a significant role in the 'performance cars should have ICEs' mindset, so what happens when the generation who grew up on EVs enter middle age and have the disposable income for a performance car?

As for the rest of us, if, say, 1 in 1000 cars in a couple of decades' time burns fossil fuels, it is hardly going to be a nuisance. I'd be more worried (If I owned an ICE-powered vehicle) about the infrastructure needed to get the fossil fuels I needed in the tank.

(Glancing anxiously over at my 1949 S1 Land Rover (1.6l I4 petrol) and 1981 Land Cruiser 42 (3.4l I4 diesel) - neither of which are performance cars by any stretch of the imagination! The 3B engine in the Land Cruiser will merrily chug along on just about anything vaguely combustible you pour in the tank, though.)
Saying you disagree with my original comment might be inaccurate, seeing how it didn't touch on repeated bad faith; not that habitual lying would make any difference to the validity of any argument (which depends only on being logical sound).

I do agree ignoring known and mercenary liars does save time.
I think there are plenty of other competent alternatives on the market now that match the price points of Teslas. Their supercharger network with free or cheap access was their main competitive advantage. I don’t think it’s as relevant now for a purchasing decision.
Indeed, has anyone so far successfully drop-in replaced numpy in a project with this cupy and achieved massive improvements? Because, you know, when dealing with GPU it is very important to actually understand how data flows back and forth to it, not only the algorithmic nature of the code written.

As a sidenote, it is funny how this gets released in 2024, and not in say 2014...
You know, a lot of other people work at Tesla besides Elon Musk.
Yes, but this is wider trend. EV sales are flat to down last quarter. This is pretty much exclusively due to sales of Teslas slumping. All pretty much all of the other EV manufacturers have sold record volume.
Not necessarily, I have a Ford F150 Lightning and it’s a fantastic truck. I’d pick it over my old model 3.
The license was changed. You can't do that to other people's code. It was originally released under GPLv2 and he's changed all the copyright notices to say GPLv3. While the license included in the original doesn't bind the recipients to v2, recipients can't restrict successive recipients to a later version only. They have the option of v2.
Not forget depreciation... Which for some Porche EVs seem just to be absolutely horrendous.
