Heh, I mentioned this to my wife a while back, she said that we've had a pair of shoes since our first (of three) that had never been worn, and that shoes at our second hand store are often labeled that way. Turns out, baby shoes are aesthetic only, baby's feet aren't really foot-shaped yet so they're hard to put on, and if they're moving, they're crawling, and shoes make it impossible to use their feet while crawling. The shoes were either a gift, or something she bought before the baby was born... So that story made her think of the naivety of pre-parents and chuckle, I had to explain why people found it sad, and her response was "those people have never tried to put baby shoes on a baby".

Which is to say, I think that her take makes this even more apt response... the people getting sad about this have never tried to put a rover on the moon.
I get a lot of door-to-door salesmen offering window replacements.

I just tell them "We're a Linux household, no interest in windows" and slam the door. I think the look of bewilderment is worth it.

I personally like Arq (has Windows, Mac ports). It lets you configure exactly what you want to backup, deltas, deletion of older snapshots, encryption, destinations, etc.

I have multiple backups that run daily against a NAS / B2 / etc. and it's always worked flawlessly.

It does cost money, but its a one-time fee.

I have to learn an entite framework and if I want to stray away from what it wants the magic makes it hard.

For one, I so migrations with raw SQL onto the server, I just don't trust it any other way and I dislike ORMs, I even dislike query builders.

But for a big framework like Django you can't remove those batteries easily and you have already strayed away from the narrow paved road.

If I'm spinning up an API endpoint for my existing stack, I'm picking flask ( well no I'm picking go because WSGI is a pain in the... to deploy ) purely because I don't need auth + rate limiting + an orm and all that. I need endpoints exposed to do what I need, literally the rest is already handled by my API gateway and it will be tied into our existing management dashboard.

Django may be great to spin up a quick project but I found I needed to stary for the paved road pretty quickly so I rather picked a different tool...

This doesn't apply to everybody either, for aome Django is the correct solution.
>but you're pulling the ackshully bullshit because you don't like the company that has done it.

I wonder if you, like me, have taken a vacation to travel half-way across the United States to watch a SpaceX launch, or had discussions with former heads of NASA as far back as 2011 about what the company meant/means for manned spaceflight. I wonder if you grew up around astronauts or knew people who died on Columbia.

This isn't an appeal to authority, it's a statement of experience. I'm in a pedantic HN subthread and threw in my subjective opinion regarding the use of the term "rescue" - please don't jump to assuming I'm some evil troll.
So you want to multiply your benefits but not accept such with your deficits? That's the advantage of digital distribution vs typical labor distribution. When I did laborer work I had no way to easily multiply my work output as it's not intellectual work, for the most part. If you make a moderate income, you should feel very entitled and lucky if you complain when you can easily distribute and multiply your labor as opposed to those who work in more physical fields. But someone might say 'yeah, well get a better job' but the point is when someone's working a very laborious and dangerous job out in the elements, it's hard to feel sorry for anyone making good on the amplification of intellectual labor.

As to your question, I'm sure those who were more intellectually inclined throughout history tended to do well despite not having a printing press and its offspring. If you're truly putting out something useful to the people, be it ideas, stories, etc, then you should have no problem getting by from your output.

It appears that a police officer was able to enter the Waymo to move it. I’ve never heard of this before. Are law enforcement trained to do this in all areas that Waymo operates? Can a random person open the door of a Waymo and move it at will?
I'm a bit confused. My only experience with ligatures is in vscode, I don't use them personally, but I've seen it where if you type >= then it changes it to look like ≥, if you hover over it, it shows >=, if you put your cursor to the right of it and hit delete, it deletes just the = and not the >, in other words, it is just >= except visually. On a git diff it would still be >=.

So I understand how you could have confusion in your case if you have logical comparators for ≥ and also have strings with "≥" or even variable names, if your language is permissive enough to allow that. But if you search for "≥" it should not return the ">=" disguised as "≥", ...right?
Lovely project. Happy to see it’s in TypeScript for once. Also very clean code base and good abstractions!
As a south Asian man, I noticed that I would get very few likes from white women in London. And I began to internalise this implicit feedback,

Back before Match.com bought OKCupid, the OKCupid blog had some horrifying gems. IIRC, Asian men had the lowest ratings among women and black women had the lowest ratings among men. Looks like Gwern archived their blog posts:

Right and mikestefanello/pagoda seems like a comprehensive framework combining the labstack/echo/v4 routing framework and entgo.io/ent "ORM" - among other things like HTMX and Bulma.

That is a highly opinionated grouping of tools that gets you to a poor persons version of a full stack framework that many in the Go community would flat out reject.
That's a pretty ridiculous argument for a couple of reasons.

1. Vandalism of art does nothing to advance dealing with high CO2 levels. The problems with CO2 have been widely reported. It is a major issue in most major democracies that comes up for debate in most major elections. So it is not going to do anything measurable to raise awareness of the issue.

2. The same argument works for anything that does less harm than our current CO2 levels. If I protested CO2 levels by going around slapping babies, would that be an acceptable form of protest? Slapping a few babies, even hard enough to cause some brain damage, causes less harm than CO2 levels being too high.

There are loads of comments exactly like OP's, and they always make the mistake of mentioning IRC alongside XMPP and Matrix. Inevitably repliers can't help themselves and spend their replies discussing IRC's unsuitability for modern IM and how it's not federated. When IRC is mentioned, commenters ignore XMPP and Matrix and attack the point in terms of IRC. (Though this thread in particular is better than average).

Matrix and XMPP are the far more appropriate competitors for Discord, we need to steer the conversation toward them.
I deliberately never mention IRC when I make these types of comments so people don't latch onto it and ignore everything else I said.

It's possible that the language you're looking for is Julia. https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/parallel-computing/

I know almost nothing about Crystal, so I can't make a fair comparison between them. Julia is used in scientific computing, where parallel clustered processing is essential.

I don't like subthreads which hijack a Language A post to talk about Language B, so I'll resist making an elaborate pitch, but Julia does fit the bill for what you're on the lookout for.

Mathiness + AI
Woah that’s an unexpected and very hot take! What application of PCA are you familiar with that’s flawed? I learned it in the context of data science, where a) parameter normalization is a very important setup step, and b) it has directly observable empirical success.

Like, I believe you that it’s used for Mathiness bs by some people, but disregarding it in its entirety seems like disregarding linear regression, or, idk, long division. I didn’t realize that was an option!

I noticed an example of this rule at my local hardware superstore.

Around a decade ago, the store installed anti-theft cages.

At first they only kept high-dollar items in the cages. It was a bit of an inconvenience, but not so bad. If a customer is dropping $200+ on some fancy power tool, he or she likely doesn't mind waiting five minutes.

But a few years later, there was a change - almost certainly a 'data-driven' change: suddenly there was no discernible logic to which items they caged and which they left uncaged. Now a $500 diagnostics tool is as likely to sit open on a shelf, as a $5 light bulb to be kept under lock and key.

Presumably the change is a result of sorting a database by 'shrinkage' - they lock up the items that cumulatively lose the hardware store the most money, due to theft.

But the result is (a) the store atmosphere reads as "so profit-driven they don't trust the customers not to steal a box of toothpicks" and (b) it's often not worth it for customers to shop there due to the waiting around for an attendant to unlock the cage.

I doubt the optimization helped their bottom-line, even if it has prevented the theft of some $3 bars of soap.

You can customize the syntax highlighting with 15 minutes to 4 hours of work, depending on your IDE, languages, and particular preferences. If it's important enough to you to rant about it online, perhaps you should set a new standard to help others that also want syntax highlighting the way you do? And you'd also be helping yourself for the rest of time.
Ignoring flexibility and cost/performance, this may be a sign that rapid chip fab turnaround times are possible. These were made by Pragmatic Semiconductor [1], who claim they can make chips within 48 hours and deliver within 4 weeks (likely due to their use of unconventional materials). Traditional silicon fabs, including trailing-edge foundries and TSMC, take 2-9 months. I do wish they'd emphasized this instead of flexibility.

You said you have a hospital selected you trust (by whatever your metric is). Hospitals tend not be all equal for all things, so trust should probably be differential - how do you assess yourself as a patient then to decide on where to go? And if you do not differentiate the trust any further than to a single hospital regardless of what the issue is: why is that sufficient?

I think it is fine to have some preferences for a hospital, but not sure how much benefit that confers outside of some narrow situations.

No, IIRC they all have law enforcement procedures which probably include ability to move car
I have the opposite complaint: you can't even reliably select text without also using the keyboard! Half the time I drag to select, it starts moving a block. Half the time I click to navigate, it starts a selection instead (as if I had not released the mouse from previous click). I need to press the Escape key and try again.

Notion to me is the prime example for "too much JavaScript". Opening a note in a tab take 10 seconds and interrupts me half the time with some random news or a prompt to try some AI feature.

Waymo has an emergency team that will guide LE on taking over a Waymo. They'll shut it down, pop the doors, and give them a code to punch in on the wheel controls to disengage it and put it in manual mode to shuttle it out of the way.
Let's use the classic example of "Lady tasting tea". Someone claims to be able to tell, by taste alone, if milk was added before or after boiling water.

We can imagine two versions of this test. In both, we serve 12 cups of tea, six of which have had milk added first.

In one of the experiments, we keep everything else the same: same quantities of milk and tea, same steeping time, same type of tea, same source of water, etc.

In the other experiment, we randomly vary quantities of milk and tea, steeping time, type of tea etc.

Both of these experiments are valid, both have the same 5 % risk of false positives (given by the null hypothesis that any judgment by the Lady is a coinflip). But you can probably intuit that in one of the experiments, the Lady has a greater chance of proving her acumen, because there are fewer distractions. Maybe she is able to discern milk-first-or-last by taste, but this gets muddled up by all the variations in the second experiment. In other words, the cleaner experiment is more sensitive, but it is not at a greater risk of false positives.

The same can be said of sample unit engineering: it makes experiments more sensitive (i.e. we can detect a finer signal for the same cost) without increasing the risk of false positives (which is fixed by the type of test we run.)

----

Sometimes we only care about detecting a large effect, and a small effect is clinically insignificant. Maybe we are only impressed by the Lady if she can discern despite distractions of many variations. Then removing distractions is a mistake. But traditional hypothesis tests of that kind are designed from the perspective of "any signal, however small, is meaningful."

(I think this is even a requirement for using frequentist methods. They neef an exact null hypothesis to compute probabilities from.)
I've seen a Waymo block the Muni tracks before. When a train finally showed up a cop appeared in less than a minute. They didn't jump in the car but they did knock on the window and speak to a support rep. The rep was able to instruct the car to move forward and turn onto a side street. It then blocked the side street for a bit before eventually moving on.

While I'm not against self-driving taxis I have some serious concerns over how these cars will impact emergency response in an earthquake or fire if the cars become more prevalent.

I work tangentially to robots making use of computer vision... we're standing on the shoulders of many giants with OpenCV and ROS (for all their warts).

Being able to get reliable object detection without custom training weights seems like the next domino to fall and become ubiquitous. Based on playing around with A111 and similar I suspect we're headed to a place where we can get reliable models that are small that will work well enough to accomplish your task of pouring it back into the tea pot.

I also find the procedural animation demos with UE 5[0] interesting as well since what I see first hand is a lot of "key frame" robotics programming for complex movements... combining all these concepts will lead to some very unique solutions with a lot less hand-holding. Wonder how fast we'll get there...

I had this exact same experience with Go. I picked up .Net (and Asp.Net for web stuff) on linux recently and found it to be much more easier to get started batteries included than Go. Don't need external libraries for any of the things you mentioned (ORM, logging, metrics, DI etc.).

Razor pages are very interesting as well. I haven't used them enough to have a solid opinion yet but I really liked them for quick server rendered pages.
I did this back in 2005 or so: code was still required, and I just barely passed it- by one punctuation mark they said. Then I took all the written tests. The technical parts are easy if you're an EE. It felt weird having an extra class with no operating experience.
Show HN: Unlearn Stress – A Stress Reduction App with Personal Voice Narration
I made it for me as I’ve been having episodes with stress with no specific origin. Been to doctors with some luck from one hopefully the recent operation will address another potential issue. Some days I feel down, out of it, just lack of energy and expression and I don’t know why exactly, but hearing some of the stories, even when I’ve heard them before, help with getting out of a slump.

I found that the 'Shaman' breathing exercise (humming “ohmmmmm” on exhale) for 15-30m, on wakeup and before sleep, has been the most helpful for me. Takes about 10m of doing it for my body to really relax my muscles.

I also found being read stories, that are inspired by the things I knew growing up things I know now, things I wish I knew as a kid, tv shows, friends, current events, forums and etc., are very helpful with my own mindset. Everyone's in a different position and being reminded of perspective can be highly motivating. Narration with your own personal voice is fun (Android needs to catch up!). Wish I could have my voice recorded as a child reading some of these ha!

What ‘Unlearn Stress’ offers:
* Guided Breathing Exercises: Quick and easy breathing exercises that you can do anytime, anywhere to help promote relaxation, reduce stress and refocus.
* 100+ Relatable Short Stories: Stories about work, burnout, life, relationships, uncertainty that hit home, like one about a world taken down by a bug ;), inspired by the recent CrowdStrike outage, inventing things but getting no traction or the constant chase for social media popularity. It’s all about finding some calm in the chaos.
* Personal Voice Narration (iOS 17+): For iPhone 12+ users, you can have stories narrated in your own voice, making the experience feel super personal. (https://support.apple.com/en-us/104993)
* Educational Resources: Simple tips and insights to help you manage stress better every day.

The app works completely offline and there’s no Data Collection like other apps. There’s a lifetime premium version for $4.99 which is budget friendly. Tired of subscription services and unnecessary data collection, I'm stuck in the 90s mindset I guess.

You can add also more voices on device for story narration
1. iPhone: Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices. Click on a voice and check if enhanced version is available.
2. Android: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6006...

Where to find it:
* iOS App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/unlearn-stress-with-stories/id...
* Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.excsn.andr...

I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions you might have!

Thanks for checking it out!
People pirating your work were less likely to purchase it anyway, likely because it was economically not feasible to do so in the first place, but with the new readers you have, its likely that some of them do end up purchasing it at a later date. Getting robbed by piracy is mostly a fiction and nothing more.
Each Elf executable can have its own "interpreter" (loader, which as default is `ld-linux. so`), so without calling the configured interpreter ldd can't know about the dependencies of such "special" executables. And the configured interpreter can be any program, AFAIK there are no limititations in the ELF format.
I got Certificate Transparency notifications for a domain of a relatively small company for a while. After you setup custom domains for a few SaaS products, and have a few hosting providers issuing short lived certs, you’re getting notifications fairly regularly. The notifications don’t really come with enough information for you have to any idea if the certs are being issued by trusted parties.

At a large company I have to imagine that monitoring them would just end up being noise.
dimensionally it's hugely advantageous. a 1600-meter-thick containment dome (to use modern units rather than medieval ones) would be 17 billion cubic meters of concrete, which would cost about 700 billion dollars, at the price of 40 dollars per cubic meter i happened to see in the newspaper today. but a 300-mm-diameter hole 1600 meters into the bedrock only requires breaking up 110 cubic meters of bedrock. all things being equal, that's about 150 million times easier

(in practice people skimp on the containment instead of trying to build trillion-dollar containment domes)
