awesome work. I had the github starred from the day I saw on Show HN but never got around to using it.

I want to use this to automate approving/declining group members for our facebook group which is approaching half million members and fb admin tools are pretty lacking

They're using "feminism" in a fairly modern sense of the term, which goes beyond just women. It includes everybody who has ordinarily been excluded from decision-making, and especially when people belong to more than one member of that group.

The best examples of this come from section 2, noting the ways in which C++ is hard to use for limited-vision readers using a screen reader. That's not about women, but the feminist lens is to ask questions like "How can we get non-sighted users involved in programming language development? What might this language have looked like if they had been consulted, and could that benefit sighted users as well? Who else has a different perspective that has previously been missed"?

Now is a really good time to be thinking about that since we're changing just what it means for something to be a programming language: AI-assisted coding, no-code systems, visual programming, etc.

The changes they're calling for are basically to look around when decisions are being made and asking, "Are we getting a variety of different perspectives?" If there are no women, no black people, no disabled users, no non-English-speakers, no gay people, etc. in the room, you can't really know what it is you're missing. Not necessarily because those specific aspects of themselves are relevant, but just because you have to expect that you're introducing biases when your contributors are limited.
> async/await creates a dependence. errors do not.

It does! In both case you need to "unwrap" the value, and in most case it means making the caller function async or returning the error. (As an anecdote I've done way more refactoring involving replacing T with Result<T> in entire call stacks in Rust that I've done it for async).

> I might buy into your idea the "?" operator colors functions. But that's something else entirely and obviously isn't what you were talking about originally as it isn't found in all of the languages originally mentioned

It's exactly the same with Java's checked exception and Go errors, as soon as you start calling a function that returns an error, you're going to write something that looks like

if err != nil {
return 0, err
}

And tada! your functions now need to add the error to it's return parameter.
Thanks for doing that, I got lost in the math and couldn't figure it out in the time I had, too rusty xD
C is likely the only example of a programming language that is clearly statically typed while at the same time being weakly typed. For a reason: as your example shows, it's a really bad idea (but understandable for a language from the 60's).

In with an annoying "acutally".. I wish I wasn't but I just filed some feedback with Apple today (really this morning) on how the "profiles" on Apple TV are a misnomer. They're not real.

Here's our experience for what it's worth and why I say misnomer.

I setup an Apple TV in a parent's apartment. It turns out that when they re-arrange the icons, even if they're in their profile, they rearrange the icons on the "default" profile - which is mine.

So I came home to an Apple TV with the apps all moved around.

Digging into it, it seems that while there is the cover of "user profiles" on Apple TV, they simple aren't useful. Logged in apps stay logged in across all profiles. So it's not like a browser profile where you can have two different logins to say Jellyfin or Plex or Youtube or Disney+.

As such, the profiles are indeed a misnomer when compared to what any reasonable user would expect of changing "profiles."

In other words, a sham!

Ref from Apple that buries the lede:
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/tv/atvb0753b37d/tvos

Here's the salient bit from that apple page:

When each member in a household has an Apple Account, you can create unique user profiles for each person, with Up Next lists, system language preferences, paired AirPods settings, music, Game Center data, and content recommendations personalized for the currently active user.

Note how little profiles actually do. You can't use your own logins to any services, or have a home screen that is yours with your apps. It's still just a one-user device sadly.
No. If you have money to pay for developers, you also have money to pay for tools. Especially since software licenses are going to be a tiny fraction of what the developers cost.

Scenario B is amazing for the US. I don't see how it's clearly better for Japan. I don't know about you but I pay far more in income tax than sales tax. You spend money but you also consume government services and infrastructure while paying less in tax to Japan than a resident employed in Japan would.
Journals with high rates of suspicious papers ID'd by science-integrity startup
Being able to interact with changing things does not require changing if you're outside the things that change. For example, if you're outside of time (which, admittedly, is really hard to wrap our heads around), from Noah's perspective, you went from "not having made a covenant with him" to "having made a covenant with him," but that's only true relative to Noah's position, not yours. You have no "before" and "after" because you're not inside time.

I'm not going to pretend I have anything like the math or theoretical physics knowledge to grok the latest perspectives on whether the universe actually had a beginning or an end, or whether it goes through singularities, or any of probably a dozen other theories that I've vaguely heard of and are over my head, never mind all the ones I don't even know about. I'm not aware of any that posit the universe is truly unbound by time, though, that time is not somehow a constraint on the state of the universe such that it doesn't actually change, except from our own perspective. Is that even what you're suggesting? Or have I missed your point entirely?

The Challenges of Modernizing MediaWiki's Monolith [audio]
It may be more likely that H or T happens (an unfair coin), but in a pair of H and T, both HT and TH are equally likely. Therefore which is "first" is equally likely H or T.

Only holds if no spooky effects change results based on last result. (like a magic die that counts upwards or a magic coin that flips T after H no matter what)

P(TH) = p(T)*p(H) = P(HT)
Hello as well from a past Facepunch user, 10 years go by very quickly

Right. Monomorphization is very often a requirement for getting the most performance.

But not always, and won't always increase your performance either.
A good read. I'm glad Spam got a little mention. Terribly underrated IMO.
As long as I am summarizing your thesis accurately, I see no problem at all.

As it happens, I haven't intentionally read anything on Twitter for well over a decade. But if it is helpful for you to simply assume that, should anyone care to question your deep, penetrating analysis of recent human history and its impact on current events today; and even worse, fail to appreciate your enthusiasm for run-on paragraphs full of ungrounded abstractions and broken analogies, peppered with fancy latin idioms (for style I guess); and all in the service of watering down, and therewith attempting to "explain" actual, real and incredibly blatant neocolonial aggression happening today -- why gosh, it must be because they're an analphabetic, Twitter-addled idiot, that's all -- then I suppose that this is a "valid" strategy for you.
Maybe foam creation is also immediate, and wins that race to some extent?
We actually started off using the AutoGPT framework. There are a ton of remnants of that (tasks, steps) but we found the framework extremely limiting as we wanted to expand and do more complex things

For example, we're currently using a multi agent architecture where we have micro agents run to analyze SVGs, fill out dynamic autocompletes. This would have been really hard.

Frameworks like langchain are good for early prototyping, but it's too restricting when you want to push the limits
In most countries you can get what is called a notarized or certified "true copy" of identifying documents (passports being one of them). The intent is for you to submit them with applications so you don't have to submit the original copy. Now how you get a true copy depends on the country. Canadian passports for example can only have true copies made by their embassy or immigrations offices.

Note that this doesn't include your passport stamp pages but Japan hasn't issued passport stamps for several years now and they just look up your passport in a registry instead. So for that purpose, a true copy should be effectively the same thing.

That's where it comes down to what is essentially a technicality but given they carry an embossed seal and signature with the words "TRUE COPY" on them, they look very official and officials are very rarely going to push back on it even if whether they are to be treated as a full substitute for a passport (for identification purposes) is technically a grey area.
> The parasites in this case are the landlords, not AirBnB. And they're the one driving the rent prices up, not the renters.

What about considering both as parasites, just different methods for achieving basically the same thing: "More money for me".

Obviously, the landlords are the ones who raise the prices. But I think it'd be ignoring reality if you didn't consider the fact that AirBnb made all of this so much easier and simpler from the landlords. There are platforms that let you sync to many portals, and even see what weeks you should raise the prices to optimize for as much profit as possible. AirBnb and the other platforms are contributing to a constant, collaborative raise of prices.
Correctly? Try explaining your grandparent that they should open the app and type in some codes while on call. This habit will expose them to a whole class of attacks.

The only proper way is to send push to that app with the information about the issue.
You need to apply once a year and you need to be a maintainer of an active oss project for the oss license. From my experience they're very lenient in regards to what they consider active, but I don't think I'd jump trough the hoops if I didn't start using Rider with the student license.

Go to Conferences
I humbly disagree, at least at the local level. Get involved and you'll be surprised at how much you can do. Local clubs, like an Optimist Club or Lions Club volunteering for your community builds relationships. Many people involved are part of the community: business owners, politicians, accomplished/connected individuals, etc. Much of what affects you in a democracy is local and can be changed if you get involved. It is not just about checking some boxes every couple years.
I don’t mind if my employer bought a subscription. But my personal motto if that if I have to do something multiple time, it should take less and less time. I reuse code heavily (which is why I learned vim as it makes that fluid). And that’s where LLMs becomes useless because they need the entire context to generate something. Which means I have to type it out for them in addition to what I want. And the whole thing becomes a drag. Maybe Cursor and the likes could help, but the code is only half the story, there are things like protocols, messages format, specs,…

What LLMs promise is endless drag. I try to structure my work to ensure that the final velocity is high.
Superior:
* Debugging
* Refactoring
Rider has a lot going for it, but I really can't stand the structure of JetBrains subscription. Why can't they just have a single monthly or annual price, rather than this absurd structure where the price gets cheaper over time, encouraging lock-in?
You would probably want a honeypot to lure them in. But I wouldn't expect the output to go through an LLM, although I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.

This stuff is just low level automated scanning looking for well known, easy exploits. Default credentials and stuff like that. A lot of it is trying to recruit hosts for illegal VPNs / proxies, DDOS service, and more scanning / propagation. My advice is to block it (maybe with an expiration time on the block), log it, and ignore it. But it can be fun to see what they do with a honeypot.

As i just responded to a sibling commenter: the way weaccess information is now more pull-based (serving requested media) than push-based (broadcast). Advertising should change to fit this paradigm.

Yup. When you're twiddling bits you're better off using unsigned types in general anyway, and leaving converting to a signed type at the very end.
On one hand, the import value limit effectively did ban home computers, which is why these "homegrown" computers became common as a way around the ban. On the other hand, "a ban on home computers" sounds like an intentional ban on home computing, which is a distortion of both the letter and spirit of the law.
SMAC certainly predates Valve’s official implementation, wouldn’t be surprising if something else also did it.
This is childish and counterproductive. If companies are complying with the terms of the license it has been released under, they aren’t doing anything morally or legally wrong.

If you want companies to pay for your software, place it under a different license.
> When the war ended in 1945, the military had huge stockpiles of food, including powdered cheese. The government liquidated these stockpiles, sometimes for pennies on the dollar, to private industry. Companies like Frito (later Frito-Lay), Kraft, and others found ways to use these wartime products. In 1948, the Frito company coated puffed cornmeal pieces with dehydrated cheese, and Cheetos were born.[26]

It is absolutely wild the butterfly effect of processed terrible food this may have caused and deaths from obesity. All from trying to find something to do with ultra cheap army surplus.
I don't mean to "debate" the depth of Threes (having not played it), only to say that it isn't obvious from a description. On the other side of the equation, 2048 is clearly interesting enough to have sold (and, from what I can tell, marketed by word of mouth), and its players would seem to disagree with the Threes author that 2048 is "a broken game". The corner shake might seem like a tedious but powerful strategy; but it doesn't come anywhere close to trivializing the object of the game, and this is a casual time-waster anyway.

2048 might well have won out for its simplicity (although personally I think the audio had a lot to do with it). Screenshots of Threes development (from the page linked in the post I quoted) imply that for quite a while it allowed for making numbers of any 2^x*3^y form, and earlier versions of the game must have tried even more complex rules - even larger prime numbers like 79 show up. Eventually this reduced to only numbers of the form 2^x*3 (as well as 1 and 2). To me that looks like a strange left-over irregularity, even if it does improve gameplay.

(After reading the rest of the thread, I think I regret replying at all.)

For me, I want it all in one place: the calendar. Even for stuff that just need to get done but doesn't have a particular "date" -- that stuff could just float from day to day somehow.

It has never made sense to me that Apple has a separate "Reminders" app that's completely divorced from the Calendar.

I don't want stuff in multiple apps. I tend to disable notifications very aggressively because otherwise my phone is "dinging" every few minutes. I would prefer that all my notifications for tasks/due dates/appointments come from the Calendar.

So just curious; if a hunter has a limit of 1 buck and 2 doe but he really only needs 350lbs of meat, so either 1 large buck and smaller doe or all 3 if they are smaller. Should he give up using the trail camera and the knowledge of if there is a large buck out there and just kill the first 3 deer he comes across?

Another question, do you look up salary stats on Glassdoor, etc before you consider open position or asking for a raise? Would you consider it offensive if someone told you to stop cheating and just learn to negotiate better?
It needs to push state the bmi to the url so that I can send it to people.

It could also be fun if one could fill out the age, weight, height and gender to calculate the bmi.

Now that I think about it it would be hilarious to use sliders and have a cartoon person populated with the data generated in real time.

Humane drops AI Pin price by $200
Gunplay in FPS games like CSGO and Valorant are all about angles. Almost all of the action happens in the split moments of contact, as players transition from not seeing each other to seeing each other.

So in that sense, corners are pretty much a point of contention for everyone at every level since most of the game is based around taking and holding corners/angles.

The peeker vs holder relationship is pretty interesting to analyze as there is more to it then just server sync. But how both players try minimize/isolate the amount of angles they attack/are exposed at any given point in time.

As well as use their general game knowledge to make predictions about where the enemy is most likely to be in a certain situation. Prioritizing their attention/crosshair on those angles while ignoring the others.

I think this what makes it fun. Theirs a lot of thinking + buildup/anticipation for the moment of contact between players which is then usually resolved in <1s. And since the dead player has to then sit out the round it feels meaningful.

There's been a large tech migration to BlueSky the past few days. Initially I was really excited as it was mostly high signal people, reminiscent of HN or early Twitter. However, I quickly encountered there's a large existing userbase that adopted it because of lefty / anti-Musk echo chamber views.

Matt Yglesias, a milquetoast centrist liberal Harris voter, founder of Vox, had his comments entirely brigaded by leftists doxing his old house, threatening him with hammers, and the highest liked comment is: "matty i hate to break it to you but the majority of this website would chase you around with a shovel" https://bsky.app/profile/manateejay.bsky.social/post/3k7x4lk...

You'd think if the milieu was intellectual, you'd have some reasonable debates about policy but it's all "gtfo" and threats.
Hi! Thanks for getting back to me, appreciate it. To be honest, I‘m not an expert at all in this topic. I‘d imagine choosing a colorblind-friendly palette (see: https://davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/ ) would be an easy fix. Alternatively, or in addition, you could use dotted/dashed/straight lines to visualize the latency buckets. Might make for an interesting effect?

Also it‘s common to hide this „colorblind mode“ behind a checkbox somewhere. So you don’t have to uglify your product. :-)

In any case, I would want to detect the emissions from the CPU, memory bus and SD card traffic. Not all cameras are WiFi. Sure, that won't detect passive listening devices or other advanced techniques, but most people now are worried about video and that will have certain characteristic emissions.

2 years was actually a bit of a reach now that I think of it, but Canada, living relatively frugally, buying for typically just me, and I could do ~300cad a month + ~$100/month for transport would bring me up to the $4850CAD before sales tax. Tax would add another $500 and that would probably cover me for most entertainment, vacations excluded, games included, climbing included, movies included, just estimating though.
Insights from Automated Custom Llama Training with Llamafactory.ai
I used Llama Factory, here are 3 core insights:
- constant lr is more stable
- 3 epochs is optimal for small batches
- lower effective batch size compensates for small dataset size
