That's fine for your quick hack that is probably a reimplementation of an existing program you can't find.

But it's not a production quality implementation of new need.
Obviously, as the other letters of the acronym only describe what kind of alternative it is.

I think a better way to phrase your critique would be: "acronyms harm the flow of your text - they're best used sparingly"
Fun fact. Emacs was doing this even long before Tramp, in the 1980s it was already common to work with remote files. So more like 40 years …
I tried Cursor this month but even though it is much better than copilot, it also tries to do too much. And both of them fail regularly at generating proper autocompletions, which makes Cursor a bigger annoyance because it messes up your code quite often, which copilot doesn't do. Cursor is too aggressive.

But using copilot as a better autocomplete is really helpful and well worth the subscription. Just while typing as well as giving it more precise instructions via comments.

It's like a little helper in the editor, while the ChatGPT/Claude in the browser are more like "thinking machines" which can generate really usable code.
Laws that allow cyclists to treat stop signs and red lights as yield signs are called "Idaho stop" laws and are debated fiercely.

I tried to use vscode c# devkit but it is horribly unstable and has severe bugs that make it unusable for my projects. But I'm really happy with vscode + omnisharp. I never used rider so I cannot really say which is better but I tend to not like jetbrains IDEs (from experience with IntelliJ and webstorm).
Here is one top tip from the Chris Voss book: Don't ask for a round number. If you ask for a more precise number it sounds like you have done more research etc.

EG Not: "I've looked at my finances and similar roles, and I need $130,000 for me to take the role."

Instead: "I've looked at my finances and similar roles, and I need $133,700 for me to take the role."

I think Robinhood the brokerage was _fairly_ obscure til 2020 or so, no? This appears to have gone into production in 2020, so is likely older than that.
Thanks. I do think dedupe for non-snapshots would still be useful, since as you say most people will get rid of old snapshots eventually.

I also wonder if it would make sense for ZFS to always automatically dedupe before taking a snapshot. But you'd have to make this behavior configurable since it would turn shapshotting from a quick operation into an expensive one.
I was a huge Swift fan but SwiftUI and the changes supporting it in the language got me to switch to Rust for all my personal projects
Which industry would you pivot to? The only industry that is desperate for workers right now is the defense industry. But manufacturing shells for Ukraine and Israel does not seem appealing.
If this is "saving the ship", more companies need to remember what a shipwreck is.
The pre-war/post war duality is easy to understand. The US made it official policy to increase homeownership. The government subsidizes housing for all income levels and there was tons of housing built.

The post-war era has seen only minor changes in homeownership rates. And those tend to be around macro economic events like 2008 and Covid (and the Reagan era mortgage rates woof).
"What it says on the C++ box" is indeed enough for (parts of) 26262

And that's a problem, because what it says is vague and not very helpful for the problem we actually wanted to solve. It's enough by fiat - the people responsible for 26262 wanted to be allowed to write C++, so the bar has to be low enough to be cleared by C++. This problem grows in magnitude as the software in a safety of life critical system grows.

To be clear: I don't think either of these general purpose programming languages is appropriate for use in safety of life applications. I think a provably correct program ought to be table stakes - But, a bar set low enough that you can write C++ is always going to be low enough for Rust to just step over it like it's barely even there.
> the wolf’s violent predation can never be eradicated, for this is a repressed behavior of humans, too, waiting to emerge cyclically...

There are times I feel despair for where the world may be going now: are we heading towards new repressions, new violence, new wars? Was the post-WW2 period a brief moment of peace, and have the generations passed so that the visceral memory has faded, and fascism, war, violence and otherness return?

A quote like this makes me think the stories of werewolves and other human monsters is the way those in the past dealt with the returning cycle of human awfulness.
It's more than choosing the right function call, it goes further than that. If your code has patterns, it recognises and suggests them.

For instance, one I find very useful is that we have this pattern of checking the result of a function call, logging the error and returning, or whatever. So now, every time you have `result = foo()`, it will auto suggest `if (!result) log_error...` with a generally very good error message.

Very basic, but damn convenient. The more patterns you use, the more helpful it becomes.
Is $59 for a single hub, or $849 for a full cooktop really that much of an "expensive luxury"? These things last for decades and cost less than most mobile phones.

Yeah, I just had to open twitter to be able to give him feedback, which is annoying because it's an otherwise dead platform to me.

I asked him if anyone suggested experimenting with the Symmetric Nearest Neighbor filter[0], which is similar to Kuwahara but works slightly differently. With a little bit of tweaking it can actually embed an unsharp mask-effect into itself, which may eliminate the need for a separate Sobel pass.

I did some javascript-based experiments with SNN here:

https://observablehq.com/@jobleonard/symmetric-nearest-neigh...

... and have no shader experience myself so no idea how it compares to Kuwahara in terms of performance cost (probably worse though).

Kind of useless stat given how much code a typical dev refactors....
Already don't use ZoL because of their history of arms shrug-level support coupled with a lack of QA. ZoL != Solaris ZFS. It is mostly an aspirational cargo cult. Only a few fses like XFS and Ext4 have meaningful real-world, enterprise deployment hours. Technically, btrfs has significant (web ops instead of IT ops) deployment exposure due to its use on 10M boxes at Meta. Many non-mainstream fses also aren't assured to be trustworthy because of their low usage and prevalent lack of thorough, formalized QA. There's nothing wrong with experimentation, but it's necessary to have an accurate understanding of the risk budget for a given technology for a given use-case.
My response remains the same: There's no need to publish the victim's name on a website for the whole world to see.
From what I know, Teflon is neutral as long as you don't overheat it and breathe in the gas. Can you point some sources stating otherwise?
not possible to stop modification, but i will be heavily surveilling the system, and i know exactly what it should look like. the process tree is known in advance.

handcam anti-cheat and replays will handle provenance of inputs. non-human inputs are cheating.

you could try to boot in vm, but performance will suffer. the server moved off vms for the same reason.

Of course it’s easy for anybody on this forum to change their search engine.

Tempered glass does not contain plastic. No glass contains plastic. The formula to make glass has been known for centuries. Tempering is a thermal process, it doesn’t change the chemistry of the product. Old school pyrex involved the addition of Boron —- no hydrocarbons in the mix.

Cheat-y in what way? I don't consider micro benchmarks that interesting especially since C# does have two aces that Java will get in mid term - namely Simd and primitive types.

The Tech Empower benchmarks do seem to reflect general state of Java Web Framework ecosystem with Vert.x being they hyper fast web framework and Spring being way slower.
The public might though be concerned that if they are being replaced, many in other positions at other companies will soon be replaced as well.
I can guarantee you that the author was referencing code within Google. That is, their tooling is trained off internal code bases. I am imagining c++ dwarfs javascript.
It's a colour scheme and icon set. And it's a one-off cost. The colour scheme also required a lot of work to produce.

Show HN: Study League – Gamified, AI-Driven Study Platform with Instant Rewards
As a student who struggled to begin studying, I built Study League to make revision more rewarding and engaging.

Study League is a gamified study platform where users earn points based on study duration, not just exam outcomes. My custom algorithm, which takes into account the users study time to promote longer sessions and sessions with breaks, and the users team already to promote progress, scores each session, and users can immediately redeem points to "buy" players, creating an immediate sense of achievement. With these players, users form teams, compete in 'study matches' with friends, and join leagues to track and compare progress—transforming revision into a shared, motivational experience.

If you can, I would appreciate feedback as this is one of the biggest projects I have made.

Thank you.
It doesn't feel any different to me than listening to a random radio station where I don't know who is speaking. I didn't feel any uncanny valley but I'm not an English native speaker so I might miss some nuances. However there are relatively few English native speakers around the world so this might not be a problem for us.

The problem is that people talking over each other is not a format I long to listen to.
>There's also unemployment benefits for US workers.

if you consider a few hundred a week "benefits", sure.

> people still vie from all over to work at US companies and we still draw the best talent.

yes, because like companies, the USD is coasting off of successes from long ago. We corrupted the tech boom, but fell behind on the FEV boom and manufaacturing in general.

USD is great to earn. It's horrible to live in the USD to utilzie it though. That's why companies are trying yet again to outsource.

I can relate to your distrust of the various click-baity headlines of papers, but Teflon flu is a real thing. It's easily avoided by not over-heating pans - keep them under 260°C and don't heat them when empty as that can result in hot spots.

I absolutely believe that it's plausible for a comparable scenario to occur. It might not be 2049 and 2050, but 2075 and 2080? Or 2100 and 2110?

Unless you believe that humanity will 100% die off or 100% fix climate change tomorrow, the chance of a 2% reduction in CO2 output having no measurable effect on our future is close to 0%, yet your modelling puts it at close to 100%.

I'm going to say it again, because I don't think you got it: you're deliberately misrepresenting the situation and simplifying things beyond reason. The correct response to an inability to model something isn't to just leave it out. You specifically pointed out that we should make these decisions based on math, but your math is incomplete enough to be useless.
I usually did this in the past, and it has worked every time so far (four times). Not in the US, this from Switzerland.

I think of a number I want to earn in the new job. For example, if I would currently make 100k, I say I currently make 115k in my current role, and then they offer 120k. I accept, done.

I did this after a bad experience. Made-up numbers. They offer me 80k, I already make 90k, I say I already make more. They ask how much, I say 90k, they say we can match that and one more week of vacations. I give them a pass, they ask why, I say I got another offer for 110k, they say we could have given you 110k too.

If they are allowed to lie, I can too.

“Created by” or “with the assistance of”?
Yeah. Nah that makes you sound silly (at least for software jobs) unless there is a good reason for it, like currency conversions or peverse tax incentives.

There is a tiny chance that asking for 133700 might get a smile at a smaller tech focused company though.
Probably because the number of detection will be too few to test old theories or make new theories with the experimental results.

Physicists love to be wrong! If there is an experiment that disagree with the current theory, then is like the will west and everyone can publish their own pet theory that "fix" it. It's like raining free paper for them, their graduate students and everyone. Also, it's fun!

When experiments and theory agree, they have to use imagination to get a new "interesting" tweak that can be published. In some case the the tweak may be interesting, but most of the times it's not.

I remember a talk about a 2-sigma "particle". There was a small disagreement in some experiment, so someone did a thesis about a possible fix adding a new particle. A lot of hard work and hard calculations. It was a nice talk, and someone asked what what happened then. The sad new was that later the 2-sigma disappeared, it was only a fluke :( . This kind of work is important, but it's more boring that looking for new particles.
Your assumption here assumes that

1. all tech jobs pay well. Well enough to expect 1 year+ savings. They don't

2. that we all have the same cost of living or family situation. Even living frugally, supporting a spuose and kid on savings is not trival.

>I honestly don't see how anyone can claim tech workers are not compensated for the volatility inherent in the industry.

Come work in the games industry for a while. 30% more hours, maybe 60% of the pay in a "good studio", and near guaranteed layoffs when the proect ends.
kind of. But the host is there at the same time as the renter. So, maybe more like couchSurfing but for desks.

Almost everyone has a job to sustain their actual interests. Some of them happen to be musicians, writers, etc. Others play football, go fishing, talk to friends. There is nothing special in there. All of us will keep doing what we like to do even after AIs become the tool of mainstream creativity.
I don't care. The vast majority of code written in the private space is garbage and not unique. Products are usually not won because of the code.

Would I send the source of a trading algo or chatgpt to a third party, probably not but those are the outliers. The code for your xyz SAAS does not matter.

I am probably an outlier in that I don't really care what corpus a LLM trains off of. Its its available in the public space, go for it.

LLM-Controlled Robots with Haystack
Just published this article on using Haystack and deepset Cloud to build LLM pipelines that control robots—like, real robots that move, light up, and think through tasks. The level of autonomy and decision-making with agentic pipelines is pretty cool.

I'm curious: what easy experiments or tweaks could make these LLM-powered bots even more capable? Anyone here played around with similar setups or pushed LLMs for robotics? Let’s share ideas!

IMHO Rust is between C and C++: more secure and powerful than C, simpler than C++, but it has the potential to do everything.

If you already know C and Python, it would be a better and faster choice. I’m more a C++ expert, but I’ve written a few small command line tools in Rust and it looked a bit like the Python equivalents.

Not only is typing speed not a significant factor, neither do I find that thinking speed is either. The most important thing is what to think about and what to notice. Going in the right direction and not changing directions frequently and arbitrarily is what more than makes up for speed.

Knowing your tools and underlying tech is also a must and the better you know it the better your intuition will be.
