Congrats on finding an exception? Would it have been easier to diagnose if such rules were unwritten?

100%. I am in the industry and what’s interesting isn’t even how the big grocers prevent competition within the shopping centre, but how they register on title the exclusivity for any building they sell and vacate, preventing any competitor from ever going into a plaza they now longer operate in! It’s wild, and the exclusive covenants often cover things totally ancillary to the grocers’ main business.

It also isn’t just grocers. Canadian Tire is a big offender too.
Some nerds prefer a closed system where the main topic of discussion is the system itself.

I find a light exercise for extended duration of time right before sleep helps my sleep the best. The key for me seems not doing anything stressful right before sleep after the exercise, and drinking plenty of water but not food/sugar. I wonder blood sugar level is associated with some of the sleep problems.

Depends how it's implemented. It seems very similar to Apache Airflow in API, and similar to the many Argo Workflows Python wrappers.

This pattern when implemented with context vars in the context managers is a pretty nice way to reduce the boilerplate, without the downsides of traditional globals. The state can be safely contained to just the with block.

Usually these types of APIs also allow usage without it, using the context vars only to populate arguments not explicitly provided.

"scenario shows what happens when Congress is less committed than California to tackling forest management. With wildfire management funding constantly tied up in unpredictable budget debates, the current state-federal partnership is fragile and based on the whims of the legislative and executive branches, which can withhold funding based on which political party is currently in power. The Forest Service’s latest decision is the consequence of these issues"

Would California have standing for damages? What would honestly be the consequences if the Governor and Legislature ordered Calfire to conduct controlled burns on federal land? (Can the Forest Service give Calfire permission to conduct burns on its land?)
And on the topic of lost votes and such, maybe also abandon first past the post principle and make every vote count? BTW: Trump lost not by 88 thousand votes but by 7 million votes and almost managed to manupulate himself into office. Talk about unfair.

We did just read the article about California spending money on fire mitigation while the federal government--the US part of the US Forest Service--skimps, right?
I'm still waiting for tech to return to the decades of UI/UX design guidelines they all ditched during what I call The (Not-So) Great Flattening.

Actionable items were indicated by a button, highlight, or underline (hyperlink!). A scrollbar showed you when there was more to see. There was consistency across all apps on a platform.

It took me a year of using Apple CarPlay to realize that if you touch the album of a song on the Now Playing part of Apple Music, it will bring you to that album's tracklist. Needless to say I felt very dumb upon discovering this so late, but I didn't feel at fault. Why?

Because when I touch the artist's name - it does nothing. When I touch the song title, it does nothing. When I touch the album art, it does nothing. All despite these having the same design style as the touchable album title. There is no reason to expect that the album title would be any different.

iOS, macOS, and Windows improved a lot, but the design is still horribly lacking in usability problems that were already solved decades ago.
Before HTTP became popular, there was another protocol for accessing remote documents on the internet. This protocol was called Gopher. Gemini is an extension of the Gopher protocol that includes things like TLS.

Gemini exists separately from HTTP and thus "the world-wide web".
This is fun! Except for the whiplash afterwards ;-)
No, Gemini is not built on top of the web (HTTP). It's an alternative to the web.
I don't know about the specifics of the article I see a lot of "well, he doesn't cite sources!" type of comments and this may well be, however, in the general or the abstract this article hits on a number of important points. It's not just missing minerals, phytonutrients in particular often degrade rapidly. Mineral depleted soils are a real phenomenon and a tomato isn't necessarily fungible.

It's become a pet topic of mine and there is a lot more I could say about this (I have a bunch of theories) but will cut it short for now with this: I feel very healthy and I feel very happy. I wish others could experience the same type of things and I'd like to optimize it further.

Any individual woman has far more control over how she and her husband split childcare responsibilities than her employer who was not involved in who she decided to marry or how they decided to split up childcare and financially providing for the family.

No, I suppose not, but then, is there really an advantage to doing so?

I'm much more concerned with blocking write and execute access than I am about a potential hacker being able to read the config files of the program they leveraged to get a shell.

I worked in a fast food restaurant before college. I would be on the closing crew about three or four days a week. I would usually be the one washing and scrubbing the crusty broiler parts every time.

When I got to college, they gave everyone Thinkpads with fingerprint readers. Mine had trouble reading my fingerprints for about 2 months. I guess that I scrubbed my fingerprints away with all that grease, and it took that long for my fingerprints to "regrow" enough for the sensor to recognize them.
> What are they possibly going to do?

What are or what could they do? The latter is basically the same as what would be done to you and me running out and torching federal forest. Jail.
Fighting for anything but your right to be an asshole has never, ever been popular in the US. The labor wars of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that led to modern professional comforts like the weekend were wildly unpopular; the women's suffrage movement was unpopular; the civil rights movement to end what we would clearly call Apartheid now was extremely unpopular; MLK was unpopular during his entire tenure in the public eye; today you see the same contempt and tone-policing of protestors against both police brutality and the mass slaughter in Gaza. It's a tale as old as time and media outlets are more than happy play along and fan the flames.

Popularity (especially with a population that's so easy to discomfort as americans are) is largely irrelevant to power, which is what actually matters. Unions would be complete fools to NOT leverage the american economy to better themselves or to force a move from the federal government.
> There is probably a tickbox for satisfying some regulation that says "Don't use versions that aren't getting security fixes anymore"

In theory, yes, that would be bad. But we're talking about JS frameworks here, not C++ libraries. Go look at the CVEs for React and you will find 2-3 in the past 10 years that were patched out in minor version upgrades.

There is a difference between updates due to security and updates due to wanting to use the newest shiny tool. JS is a slow moving language and browsers are excellent sandbox environments. This combo means browsers still support old versions of a lot of libraries and they are completely secure, save a few examples.

So if you're telling me a company is forcing everyone to upgrade to the latest Angular/React/Vue for security reasons, I would say they unfortunately don't know what they're talking about.

Show HN: simtown.ai – US Election Simulation with AI Characters

Inspired by the Generative Agents paper [0], we've created a browser-based simulation of the upcoming U.S. election with GPT-driven versions of Kamala and Trump, along with nine diverse NPCs representing voters in Pennsylvania.

These AI characters freely roam, interact with each other, and engage with real players. Currently, we have a single global instance where everyone can interact together. Single game-day is 24mins in real life.

What can you do?

- Listen to speeches by the candidates

- Chat with NPCs and other players

- Persuade others to vote for your candidate

- Eavesdrop on conversations between other players by moving closer to them

- Explore the environment

- Observe the final vote tally once everyone make their mind

We appreciate any feedback or suggestions!

They're going to jail the governor of California? Newsom has presidential ambitions and I can't imagine anything that would make him more popular and appeal to a substantial number of conservatives than defying federal law, risking jail, in order to literally save the state of California from fire.

He'd be the greatest folk hero we've made in a long time.

At some point politicians need to have some chutzpah.

Relevant comment by S201: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41922195

"The overall Forest Service budget has indeed been increasing, but it's nearly all going to wildfire fighting. I recently wrote about the state of forest road funding and went in depth on this here: https://ephemeral.cx/2024/09/losing-access-to-the-cascades

> Overall, in 1995 16% of the Forest Service budget was dedicated to wildfires. By 2015 it was 52% and by 2025 it’s projected to be upwards of 67%. Without large amounts of additional funding it is virtually guaranteed that the Forest Service’s budget will continue to be siphoned away by firefighting needs."
It isn't proof that communism works -- it is proof that collaborating with communism and stealing the fruits of subjugated Chinese people who don't have freedoms like democracy and property rights doesn't work.

We must put the odious idea of trading with authoritarian nations to bed once and for all. Allowing any authoritarian nation to exist, especially one the size of China is like ignoring a festering wound and trading with one is like pouring filth on that wound.

Every democracy is threatened by the presence of authoritarianism and it must be wiped off the face of the earth by any means necessary. To do otherwise is to ignore the problem until be becomes to great to ignore and even possibly defeat.

We have ignored this problem and even profited of it for far too long. We owe it to every human being on the planet to provide them the opportunity to live in a liberal democracy.

If it is any consolation, Steve Russell, who implemented the first Lisp interpreter on the IBM 704 and came up with CAR (Contents of the Address Register) and CDR (Contents of the Decrement Register) wanted to change them to "first" and "rest" after a few months in to teaching and thinking "Hmm, maybe we could have had more direct names here".

See the full email from Steve Russell on the topic on this page https://www.iwriteiam.nl/HaCAR_CDR.html, and here's the relevant quote:

> "After several months and giving a few classes in LISP, we realized that "first" and "rest" were better names, and we (John McCarthy, I and some of the rest of the AI Project) tried to get people to use them instead.

Alas, it was too late! We couldn't make it stick at all. So we have CAR and CDR."

Personally I don't mind them, they're nicely introduced in "A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" and they stuck easily enough for me.
The real philosophy is in the budget.

I can't fully argue for this, but my gut says that Turing and all he represents is ultimately valorized by AI-stuff, but Church is the opposite. The former started from the point of view of purity, minimum possible conditions/possibilities, and abstraction/"pure" computation; the latter cared about ways we could actually think, and cared not for implementation, but articulation and the furthering of abstraction.

Probably not. But you would see Calfire agents being arrested.

I agree and also asked the question [1]. As a political stunt, it might work for the individual. But it would also set a precedent most Californian voters probably wouldn't appreciate when it comes to federal land in red states. To say nothing of basically every Californian wildfire funding battle in D.C. being ex ante conceded for a few years.
