Yes, forcing should be in quotes because it is complete bullshit. The KMT implying China owning Taiwan as the status quo is also complete and utter bullshit. Taiwan overtly called their bluff when they just elected the other party in a democratic election because they want China to fuck off.

So again, no. The KMT is not the anti war / friendliness party. It’s the party in favor of letting China seize everything.

Refusing to spread your butt cheeks against an imperialistic nation’s ambitions is not “pro war”.

Please, no. In case of disaster, I could dismantle a tool, take its motor, fix it to a fan propeller, connect it to a rectifier stage and obtain a wind/water generator, then I could take parts from low tech stuff not even remotely related to a radio and build a crude but functioning transmitter to send a SOS.

We didn't have a huge library of books, but my parents had a full set of The World Book encyclopedias, a physician's desk reference, an illustrated home repair manual, and another full series of both Time Life "A Child's First Library of Knowledge" and "Knowledge Encyclopedia" for kids. These are what I spent the most time with.

We also had an excellent electronic dictionary
with a few interesting games and a thorough etymology.

Living in the country, we were often in the car for extended periods and had catalogues of books on tape, mostly of the classics. Otherwise, we lived about half a mile, walking distance, from the town library and would go up on weekends.

On the computer, after CD-ROM drives became affordable, I particularly enjoyed interactive multimedia like Microsoft's Encarta, all of Knowledge Adventure titles, Explorapedia, and DK's "The Way Things Work". After Macromedia Shockwave, tons of eclectic titles about any given subject were being published, and we had discs ranging from the Civil War to Music Americana to I Love Lucy.

Remember, libraries can be anything. Don't limit yourself!
Go is stuck in the eighties and replies like this are a good demonstration why it's very difficult to engage in intelligent discussion with many from Go communities.

As someone who mainly specializes in .NET, I have had incomparably better time participating in Java and C++ ones because people there are usually able to acknowledge pros and cons of various platforms, how they evolved and where are their strengths and weaknesses.

The average level of understanding and ability to consider what is the dev flow and how the language of choice impacts it in Go ones seems to be just so much worse it's not even funny.

That is to say, goroutines are discount futures/tasks which force you into synchronizing the "yielding of result" manually either via a channel or a waitgroup and a collection, or similar. Not to mention they are also much more expensive than .NET Tasks. I have not measured the cost of Java's new green threads yet but assume they are going to be in the same ballpark of memory cost as Goroutines, but with drastically better steady state performance provided by OpenJDK HotSpot when it comes to regular application code.

And lastly - Go requires you writing heaps of boilerplate for simplest things, Go channels come with a lot of footguns and gotchas you have to learn, standard library has weird omissions, type system is static but weak and as the demands put onto Go continue to become more complex, as more and more developers are forced into it, the language becomes the kind of unreadable soup you accuse other languages of. Just look at range over funcs and iterators discussions recently. It's ugly and token-heavy. And you will see a lot of code like this if you browse random libraries on Github - it's unnecessarily bulky, in a way that is excusable for true system programming languages but not in Go which has even higher level of abstraction runtime than .NET.
There’s no pure math in making assumptions about someone’s registrations. In optimal situation one may ask a question. In suboptimal one has to give a benefit of the doubt. An example: lawyers don’t assume. Almost everyone else just assumes stuff. Assuming and not seeking for verification is why there’s so much disconnect between individuals.

I still remember this episode from the 80s when sir David Attenborough climbs into a termite mound up to 6 feet below the surface.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbbLCgh6sso

These termites are fungus farmers and feed the gigantic queen with it.

Unfortunately the fungus farming is not part of this clip, but it is also described the same program.

Edit: This is an older version of sir David Attenborough, revisiting another mound and talking about fungus farming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGaT0B__2DM
Correct, it's a criminal offence in Japan, and you're even notified about that on the form you fill in (either online in advance, or on paper in flight) when you go there.

That was way more than a solution for callback hell. With some plumbing, you could get Continuation monad working! With no further support from the language, too. I really miss LiveScript, it's a shame its development stopped. If only it could emit TypeScript, it would still have a chance to fight back, I think.
I see, thanks. I'm surprised that they re-date people's comments; it seems like that could lead to misunderstandings.
I have done crazy stuff to compute the content length of some payloads. For context one of my client works in cloud stuff and I worked in converting hdd format on the fly in a UI VM. The webserver that accepts the files doesn’t do chunked encoding. And there is no space to store the file. So I had to resort to passing over the input file once to transform it, compute its allocation table and transformed size, then throw away everything but the file and the table, restart the scan with the correct header and re-do the transformation.
I feel that 'small' projects like these keep the hacker ethos (installing and freely configuring devices) much more alive than the gated communities that iOS and Android have become.

Maybe we have different understandings of REPLs. For me, a REPL is a tool that I can use to try out some portion of my code, see how it responds to various inputs, see how it handles certain cases, and explore the internals of it via debugging tools.

But... that's what I do in a unit test anyway. A unit test is essentially a REPL session that I've frozen in time, can replay whenever I want, can debug, can trigger a fresh run whenever changes occur (which isn't quite hot reloading, but often a darn sight more useful), and can keep track of and share with my team. Which means I'm not just able to explore things on my own, but I can see the explorations that other people have made with their code.
Show HN: ServerlessAI – Build, scale, and monetize AI apps without back end
Hello HN,

I’ve always loved building frontend-only apps—those you can prototype over a weekend, host for free on GitHub Pages, and scale to millions of users. Unfortunately, AI-enabled apps complicate things, as exposing your OpenAI key to the world is obviously a no-go. This also means mobile developers often have to run their own servers.

That’s why I built ServerlessAI, an API gateway that lets you securely call multiple AI providers directly from client side using OpenAI-compatible APIs. You can authenticate users through any identity provider, like Google or Apple, and set per-user request or spending quotas. You can also define an allowlist for endpoints and models. To monetize, you can apply different quotas for various user tiers.

To start, I recommend checking out our tutorials, where we walk you through building a complete, deployment-ready AI app in 5 minutes. We’ve got tutorials for React, Next.js, and iOS: https://serverlessai.dev/docs/tutorials/

Our long term vision is to offer the best toolkit for AI developers at every stage of their project’s lifecycle. If OpenAI / Anthropic / etc are AWS, we want to be the Supabase / Upstash / etc. We are building optional out-of-box tools for authentication and payment management, so you can roll out your prototype faster. In the future, we want to provide the best prompt engineering tools for fine-tuning, A/B testing, and backtesting, as well as the best observability tools.

We’d love to hear your feedback. Thanks for stopping by!

> While the downside of OT is p2p, the one up side is that you get GIT like history that is super valuable for us especially if we want to build a CDC system.

How trivial would it be, to implement a CDC system from a CRDT. Does anyone know any github repos or any documentation I could refer to? Thanks
Good thing zero width space wasn't common in texts back then when PHP was the most common platform.
The problem is friction. To run a rust app you can just run it. To run a java app you need to install java first. This is no problem for backends running on servers, but client apps (like Minecraft) have to include their own JVMs to reach a wider audience, and this solution still introduces a bunch of complexity.
Ok, I want to be your friend.
There is limited prompt control. You can provide podcast production notes for the AI to play off of, and they tend to honor it. I don’t know that they’d so completely change their personalities to suit it though.
Show HN: GoSQL – A query engine in 319 LoC
I've always been curious about how SQL engines actually work.

So I built a minimum viable SQL engine in Go.

- Supports CSV files as tables

- Supports SELECT, FROM, WHERE, LIMIT

It's very simple:

1. Parses query string

2. Converts it into an AST representation

3. Executes the query against the CSV

4. Returns the results
I had an 11-23, and that had a monitor in the CPU (proper CISC!), writing to a serial port. That meant that I typed the boot loader into a terminal, and hence had a pre-recorded sequence I replayed to the port to boot the machine.

That would be a good point, as the C in CSS should stand for complicated, but this recommended setting is "auto" (changed from the default of "visible"). Setting it to auto turns on layout containment, style containment, and paint containment for the element. It allows the browser to skip rendering but still keep the elements available to, e.g. tab order. It's like a hybrid of visible and hidden.

https://www.w3.org/TR/css-contain-2/#content-visibility

I think the answer to the GP's question is that the browser does know how to compute this before starting the render pass, but the additions to the spec that allow for placing fences around the layout- and style-related containment was too new for all browsers yet, so the default is to assume all rendering is done, and the HTML/CSS author can opt in to turning this on (which in early days may have had the risk of bugs in implementation or inconsistencies across browsers).
OK, but put aside whether you like or dislike this for just a minute or two in order to think about it objectively.

You are aware of the way things are trending, right? Is the trend showing any sign that it might reverse, for the rest of human civilization's time?

I liked when things were simpler too, but the reality (for better or worse) seems to be that AI is not going away.
Do you think adaptations tended to be more faithful in the past? Not my impression, although I guess this is difficult to quantify.
Ask HN: Branching File Systems?
I'm aware of VAX/VMS's versioned files, which was super useful back in the 1980s. Hello;1, Hello;2, etc.

We've got GIT, and other version control systems, but this idea came up last night during Lex Fridman's podcast with the team from Cursor.[1]

Has anyone experimented with branching file systems?

[1] https://lexfridman.com/cursor-team-transcript#chapter13_branching_file_systems
Depends where and who you're talking to. Overall though, I'd say it's probably most often roundabout, traffic circle, and rotary (in that order) and I haven't heard much else. And yes, they are different things to traffic nerds, but I mean places (particularly in the NE like Massachusetts) just call them all rotaries regardless what the traffic department teaches https://www.mass.gov/info-details/what-are-roundabouts.

Of course this could just be banter, in which case: absolutely not, we tout our motors through circular-wirculators just like anybody else!
> While that’s all true, why is being in a car a special case?

Legislation is about cars specifically? Many already have AM radios. So it’s not about forcing motorcycles, houses, bus stops or bicycles to add radios just to keep the feature in the cars.

However that is not the only point of the proposal. It might be about the economics of running all the AM stations. So it’s a lobbying effort from that front. The emergency part just sounds more wholesome.
"Google turns over data when served a warrant" and "Google sells data to the government for profit" are very different things.

> It will be interesting to see how society adapts to being female-centered instead of male-dominated.

See Nursing for the dynamics of a female-dominated world. As a cis-male who was able to pierce into this space, it has its moments.

There’s a lot of clique-ines, eating of the young and crabs-in-a-bucket mentality. I don’t know if this is because Nursing is historically subservient to medicine, and horizontal trauma is a manifestation of being unable to act out on higher ranking members of the hierarchy. Also, career stagnation - many nurses are lifers in one clinical area and are secretly unsatisfied.

Fortunately, there is hope in pockets of the profession, typically in more cognitively-demanding areas with more “ownership” of patients (intensive care, NPs in primary care).

However, it’s hard to transfer culture between clinical areas, as the ones who are capable have already left toxic areas. The ones that don’t leave are the ones on power trips and don’t want to lose their little fiefdom.
So.....that's a "yes" then.

For me the REPL is the experience similar to Lisp Machines, Smalltalk kind of experience, which is loosely captured in Jupiter Notebooks.

As for unit tests being more usefull, depends on how much one is willing to wait for them to run in Rust, given its compile times.
