>The fact that your literate code didn’t get touched says a lot.

The fact it's still used 5 years later without any of the code still being in production says more.

>To me the name Literate Programming implies that you write the code in a literate style from the outset.

This seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to write. You should perhaps look at how people who do it for a living write books or articles. The final document has little to do with what you spend most your time editing.

I absolutely hacked on the tangled source code of the program when trying to fix bugs or extend capabilities. Once I knew what I wanted to do I put it back in the literate program, usually finding a lot more bugs in the process.
I don't believe that was an option when I set mine up but that was a few years ago. Also there is a wide range of Roku devices and TVs with differing capabilities so even ig mine didn't it might be that some do support this. I honestly don't know.

Not all content is worth consuming, and not all content is dense.
As mentioned in the article, a non-100%-correct lock can be used for efficiency purposes. So basically use an imperfect locking mechanism for efficiency and a reliable one for correctness.

I like how easy it is to remember nickel == 5 g.
Correct but this is a good starting point for code that is written after the cut off of language models training data as you cannot otherwise debate accurate code form then for the newer versions of the library.
Could you provide links?
How would you feel if they'd say 'no disabilities please'? Or if you are POC and they say 'no black people please'? You'd feel excluded for something you are; something you cannot change. It is flat out discrimination.

There's an easier variant for:

"I've had negative experiences playing with people exhibiting behaviors that I think others (rightly or wrongly) understand as autism and/or I've complained to players about their conduct and received autism as an excuse/justification. I'm not currently feeling up to dealing with that-- maybe due to my own pathologies--, so if you think you might behave that way please find someone else who is feeling more tolerant."

And it is: 'no toxicity please'. Because autistic or not, toxicity has no excuse. You will not get away with it hiding behind a(ny) disability when you receive a warning and/or ban. Nor would you being a POC allow you to be toxic.
Setting Up a Supercharged Neovim Configuration
Sure, that's why I said you might introduce "locks" (reservations is a much better term) for other reasons.

Efficiency is one, as you say.

The other main one that comes to mind is to implement other "business rules" (hate that term, but that's what people use), like for a online shopping app, the stock to fulfill an order might be reserved for a time when the user starts the checkout process.
I would love if these reports described known mitigations and projected given adoption of those mitigations.
Arguably the problem with Tesla self-driving is that it's stuck in an uncanny valley of performance where it's worse than better performing systems but also worse from a user experience perspective than even less capable systems.

Less capable driver assistance type systems might help the driver out (e.g. adaptive cruise control), but leave no doubt that the human is still driving. Tesla though goes far enough that it takes over driving from the human but it isn't reliable enough that the human can stop paying attention and be ready to take over at a moment's notice. This seems like the worst of all possible worlds since you are both disengaged by having to maintain alertness.

Autopilots in airplanes are much the same way, pilots can't just turn it on and take a nap. But the difference is that nothing an autopilot is going to do will instantly crash the plane, while Tesla screwing up will require split second reactions from the driver to correct for.

I feel like the real answer to your question is that having reasonable confidence in self-driving cars beyond "driver assistance" type features will ultimately require a car that will literally get from A to B reliably even if you're taking a nap. Anything close to that but not quite there is in my mind almost worse than something more basic.
Hi to all, I've recently created a WP plugin that is called "WPGen Forms". It does helps to generate the forms or checklists by given prompt. Currently it supports the popular plugins that are Contact Form 7 and WPForms.

Kindly use the plugins and share the valuable feedbacks to the forum. It's motivates me to improve the plugin to the next level. Planning to supports all the WP popular plugins.

To be fair, the teens knew about the gas leak and started the truck in an attempt to get away. Gas leaks like that shouldn't happen easily, but people near pipelines like that should also be made aware of the risks of gas leaks, as some leaks are inevitable.
I’m not too surprised with this move. Bitwarden has been moving strongly to enterprise sales over the last several years, and while doing so, neglected the consumer side. It’s only recently that somehow they switched to a native iOS app from the previous MAUI base that stood out like a sore thumb in more ways than one. The current iOS client still has some catching up to do.

After getting VC funding, the focus also seemed to be more revenue and profit driven. There’s nothing wrong with this choice, but it does push companies in a direction that’s very different from how they started and grew.

Proton Pass looked a little interesting, but its pricing model is always a bit on the higher side (like with other Proton services). I’ve been trying Proton Pass free for a while, and will see if it’s worth switching to as a replacement for Bitwarden (because the latter wasn’t improving in a way that I was waiting for, over many years).

The built-in password manager on iOS is also good enough, but it’s only for passwords and doesn’t support storing, retrieving and filling other types of data.

What I'd love to have is a deposit of files to be shared within a group of people.

Say we're 8 friends traveling through the middle of Greenland (read: no niceties like WiFi), and on the evening we want to share the photos of the day with everyone else.

In short, an evolution of the myriad of file sending copycats that exist: the same idea but for a shared bucket of files (I don't think doing N individual shares fits the bill, that'd just be a poor man's solution for the lack of a proper alternative)

Commenting this in hopes that the HN popular wisdom knows about something similar! :)

> Why would he not "assume" that when humans have shaped their world so far beyond what it was, creating intricate layers of art, culture and science; even going into space or in the air? Man collectively tamed nature and the rest of the animal kingdom in a way that no beast ever has.

Because whales or dolphins didn’t evolve hands. Hands are a foundational prerequisite for building technology. So if whales or dolphins had hands we don’t know if they would develop technology that can rival us.

Because we don’t know, that’s why he says don’t assume. This isn’t a “deep down we know” thing like your more irrational form of reasoning. It is a logical conclusion: we don’t know. So don’t assume.
The existent of re.compile is compatible with and doesn’t address their complaint.
A very long time ago I took a programming aptitude test, supposedly from IBM. The test was essentially detecting pattern anomalies. Two straight lines, one crooked. Pick the crooked. The patterns became increasingly more complex. I remember a little voice in my head verbalizing "two straight, one crooked". But at some point the voice stopped but I was sure which item broke the pattern.

My take away is that language is secondary to thinking - aka intuitive pattern detection. Language is the Watson to Sherlock.

The corollary is that treating language as primary in decision making is (sometimes) not as effective as treating it as secondary. At this point in my life (I'm old) I seem to have spent much of my life attempting to understand why my pattern matching/intuition made a choice that turned out to be so superior to my verbal language process.
>Debian carries nearly 40 patches against OpenSSH

Holy cow. This is one of the reasons I like Slackware, they avoid patching upstream. The only patches Slackware applies is for tcp-wrappers and pam. I wish they were not needed. But Slackware was forced to allow pam for audio IIRC. tcp wrappers, we should move on from that.

Seems Debian is like the FreeBSD of Linux. Last time I used FreeBSD they were famous for patching ssh and I think in the 8x days that got them in a bit of trouble. I remember being recommended to use ssh from ports at that time for a brief period. Forgot the reason why.
If this is what society has to pay to improve Tesla's product, then perhaps they should have to share the software with other car manufacturers too.

Otherwise every car brand will have to kill a whole heap of people too until they manage to make a FSD system.
The prose in this article has some unusual quality about it I can't quite put my finger on.
I added it to NetBSD and build it into my kernels, it isn't enabled by default though.

Now I have to watch it again. How did I never notice.. ?

I thought this was going to be about the other scratches that are visible in the film: the ones on the piece of glass that is used to create the illusion of a floating pen. I never noticed that until I saw my first screening of a pristine 70 mm print in a smallish theater. I was hoping to read about that and any other physical scratches I might have missed.
In the spirit of scratches, it was only at a recent 70mm film screening that I spotted the rig used for the floating pen scene as Floyd falls asleep in the shuttle.

As the weightlessness begins, his pen floats away - if you look really really carefully you can spot that it’s actually embedded in a thin plastic film which is rotating about an axis, given away by minute scratches on its surface.
Yeah, author tries to throw us a curve ball at first with that koo-koo backronym.
> You need to get your speed and position right, and if you can't do that, you don't merge.

I agree, but my observation has been that the majority of drivers are absolutely trash at doing that and I'd rather they not crash into me, even if would be their fault.

Honestly I think Tesla's self-driving technology is long on marketing and short on performance, but it really helps their case that a lot of the competition is human drivers who are completely terrible at the job.
I mean, if angry antagonizing insurrectionist terrormongering is your character there's a candidate for you. I think it's clear to 99.9%+ of people.
Perhaps I came across as too critical, I have a lot of respect for what you did and for the craft of technical writing. And I definitely understand that writing is not done linearly and is very iterative.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you were documenting existing code and that the result was very valuable as documentation, but not necessarily as code. You were acting as a technical writer not a programmer, it's a bit of a disconnect to call it Literate Programming, even if you were using Literate Programming tooling (NoWeb).

This kind of documentation is common practice all over industry and it is valued, but I don't think Literate Programming is considered to be widely adopted because of that.
> Unless you have a physically demanding job, retirement is bad for your health.

I definitely don’t agree with this. Retiring early has allowed me to concentrate on my health like never before. I have time to run and work out, cook healthy meals, get plenty of sleep. Things that were never possible constantly tired from working my job. My health has never been better.
I think it’s not entirely accurate to say that we “learn” to walk from a zero state. It’s clear that our DNA has embedded knowledge of how to walk and it develops our body appropriately. Our brains might also have preconditioning to make learning to walk much easier.

Music or sports are more interesting to investigate (in my opinion) since those specific actions won’t be preprogrammed and must be learned independently.

The same way we build abstractions for language in order to perform “telepathy” it seems like for music or sports we build body-specific abstractions. They work similar to words within our own brain but are not something easily communicated since they’re not tied to any language, it’s just a feeling.

I think it’s an interesting point that quite often the best athletes or musicians are terrible coaches. They probably have a much more innate internal language for their body that cannot be communicated easily. Partially, I think, that their body is more different than others which helps them be exceptional. Or that weaker athletes or musicians need to focus much more on lessons from others, so their body language gets tied much closer to human language and that makes it much easier for them to then communicate the lessons they learn to others.
A personal warning about 17.0 if you use streaming replication: secondary replica leaks memory quite actively. 16.4 is OK.

Hi. I wrote Too Big to Know, and your post intertwingled me with this thread, these books, and you.

There was a leaked memo essentially instructing to form a committee when you make an illegal decision so that one person cannot be sent to jail. Does anyone remember this? I've had a hard time finding it
> and a reliable one for correctness

To be clear, my point is don't use distributed locking for correctness. There are much better options.

Now, the atomicity I mention implies some kind of internal synchronization mechanism for multiple requests, which could be based on locks, but those would be real, non-distributed ones.

I recall seeing ads for Lapland in the early 2000s. Very little daylight during winter seems like a much bigger issue than temperature.
In my opinion, the idea behind Firefox send was a real step towards a more greener IT. The elephant in the room here that no one is talking about is the impact of the email with attachment on climate change. In 2018 (that's the best I could find) nearly 600 billion emails are distributed every day around the world. Im' pretty sure this is a lot more nowadays. No matter the truth, this colossal figure is not without impact on the environment. From the PC to the data center to the small lithium battery of a smartphone, email consumes electricity and its consequences on greenhouse gas emissions are far from negligible.

Studies on the subject (very few actually, if you have intel on that matter, let me know) have already been conducted and reveal that a simple email with an attachment of 1MB produces around 15 grams of CO2[1]. Obviously, this figure increases with the size of the email. This is the case, for example, when the email includes large attachments or if the email is sent to several recipients.

With the use of the IMAP protocol, one email sent has at least 6 permanent copies (from the sent item in the sender email client to the inbox of the recipient, through sender and recipients email server which hopefully have long term archiving).

A solution like firefox send with automatic shredding of the file after an expiration period to replace email attachment would drastically reduce the consequences of email usage on greenhouse gas emissions. It would also resolve other issues related to sending files by email, but that would make this post waaaayyy to long :-)

I created a digital clone of People to help with relationship building
Through a proprietary LLM model using context embedding, I have been able to create a company that makes a digital clone of people. This clone then writes emails for them and integrates them into their email provider and CRM. Where most AI agents write more SPAM, mine creates more relationships.
Granted, that is a valid concern if power outages are more frequent in your area. I have never experienced a power outage personally, so that is nothing I ever thought of. However, I feel like with solar power and battery storage systems becoming increasingly widespread, this won't be a major concern for much longer
You don't even need to go to rocket science for this.

3-10 juniors can make a massive expensive mess of a crud app that costs $x0k a month in amazon spend and barely works, while someone who knows what they're doing could cobble it together on a lamp stack running under their desk for basically nothing.

Musk on Sharks: The Whale Had It Coming
I think it's worth noting the currency term 'peso' for the money used in a lot of former spanish colonies, directly translated, means 'weight'. For example there's a famous mexican singer of recent who goes by 'peso pluma' and it means featherweight, like the boxing classification, not as much to do with money

Question assumes facts not in evidence: I'm not the least excited about it.
Maybe you've already considered and decided paper wouldn't work, or maybe you want the fun of working with a 3D printer, but my initial thought:

Would it not be simple to create rolls of coins by simply wrapping a sheet of paper round a stack of them, once or twice around, a little bit of sellotape to hold the paper in place, including folding it over at both ends and taping there too? I'd imagine an A4 sheet would be more than enough for each stack of coins, cutting off what isn't needed, and since you wouldn't care about them being beautiful you wouldn't even need fresh paper and could just use paper that would otherwise go into recycling/trash (letters received, junk mail, etc.)

edit: I did a quick search which both confirmed people have made coin rolls using simple paper, and also that it's highly likely banks will offer pre-made paper holders for the various coin sizes that you can just ask for and get for free (with the bank assuming you'll be bringing them back full of coins - you could either ask for as many as you need, or just one per size and use it as a template for making more from plain paper like this guy does: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AvsOkp_WPxY )
The US nickel is so close to 5 grams that I've seen them used as weights in a laboratory.
Climate change is certainly visible, although the extend to which areas are affected varies wildly. However, there are still shockingly many people who have a hard time attributing ever increasing natural disasters and more extreme weather patterns to climate change.

This completely misses what valuable code documentation is for. Anyone can read the code and figure out what it does, what as a documentation can be convenient, but it's not really all that useful, especially if it rots over time. Even if it's painful at times, the what is all there in front of you in the code. Valuable documentation explains the why, why was one approach chosen over another, why do we need to do this to begin with, why are the edge cases the way they are. This information is not present in the code and no tool can ever extract it since it isn't there.

You do realize that spa stands for single page application, right? That's just synonymous with virtual/JS based routing, which you're now equating with various other technological decisions.

I get that you've got opinions and like to voice them, but the parent comment didn't say they didn't want to use the node backend whatsoever initially. they only asked how to disable hydration.

IMHO, you'd be better of using Angular or plain svelte for this usecase, as almost all value you get from svelteKIT is the tight backend/frontend integration.

If you don't want that, you're using the wrong tool. But hey, the definition of a hacker is basically "a person that uses a tool for an unintended usecase" (literally: someone that uses an axe to build furniture), and this is called hackernews. To each their own.

I now see there is new evidence that Vikings made it to the Azores, and lived there for some time (mice genomes and DNA of fungi that live on domesticated animal droppings).

If they made it to the Azores, it would only take one storm, or a bold adventurer (not in short supply), to take one or more boats to the central Americas. There are legends of white bearded men in central American myths.
