I wrote https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/blob/main/llamafil... and it does a reasonable job highlighting without breaking for all the .tex files I could find on my hard drive. My goal is to hopefully cover 99.9% of real world usage, since that'll likely cover everything an LLM might output. Esoteric syntax also usually isn't a problem, so long as it doesn't cause strings and comments to extend forever, eclipsing the rest of the source code in a file.
For some reason I would have preferred they called it “Cash Money”

I did not know that. Today I learned.
It's a bit rough around the edges, but I made precisely this. You bring your own CalDAV server, and it will create a REST API that allows for scheduling. Alternatively, the CalDAV functionality is separated into a library, so you don't have to use the provided REST endpoints.

The front-end is separate, and I haven't put much love into making it useful for other people. But it does work.

I think you are in good company. I’ve used excel extensively, and I’ve never even conceived of that number of fonts specifically being needed. Let alone breaking excel on fonts.
Could you be more specific with what the browsers aren't exposing properly? Because in my experience, targeting WebGL+WebAssembly is pretty much exactly the same as targeting OpenGL+GLFW. I use my own renderer made with bare OpenGL + C++ though, not Flutter. All the things you have mentioned (scroll amount, overscroll behavior) are under the control of the GUI library and don't have much to do with what the browser exposes. The compositing of the whole scene is done by the gui library itself
Likely because you're not using http:// / https:// but it's a good note that it should give more information as well as it should redirect back with the error message on top.

Edit: or better yet, a little bit of javascript to catch it first. I'm really trying to use the minimal amount of JS possible.
Court enforceable (immediate or imminent) vs. activism required (long term or indirect) distinction enters the picture there.
You're deluding yourself. You literally tried to turn a discussion about something the PRC likes to say into a discussion about the US. Why, exactly? Some notion that the PRC can say sweet lovely things while acting completely differently, and we should totally not criticize them because someone else has done something you view as equally bad?

That is exactly a demonstration of whataboutism. It is a bad faith technique intended to derail the conversation and stop the criticism.
While I understand the power of Excel for specific calculations like your loan payment analysis, I struggle with modeling "continuous" data like monthly budgets and yearly reviews. Coming from a database background, I know how to model recurring financial data with tables and relationships, but I'm less clear on Excel best practices for this.

How do you structure your spreadsheet to handle:
1. Monthly recurring budgets/allowances
2. Year-over-year analysis
3. Category management
4. Historical tracking

Do you maintain separate sheets/tabs for each time period? Use pivot tables?

lol…good for you man.
With no password in key: mildly cleaner to drop entries on password change, even if the cache didn't get the command to drop the key, the next login would override the old key's value anyhow, instead of potentially a key per password that was valid in the short period around a password change

Of course, if you have any validness of old sessions / passwords around a password change, you are doing something wrong.

My personal wondering is, considering KDF is meant to be expensive, why is IO more expensive to the point it needs a cache?
It's not even specific to potatoes. "Bake" and "roast" are distinct culinary jargon terms. Quoth ChatGPT:

> Baking occurs at a moderate temperature, and is generally used to cook and solidify foods without browning them excessively. This technique creates a consistent, even texture throughout the food.

> Roasting, meanwhile, uses a higher temperature, and focuses on achieving a crispy, browned exterior with a tender interior, enhancing flavors through caramelization and the Maillard reaction.

Anything you put in an oven covered completely in aluminum foil —like a baked potato — is only going to end up baked, not roasted.
“Some of the tension we've seen is in people that haven't made that mind shift to the wider picture and are just trying to apply what they are very familiar with, that they're experts at, and that made it more difficult.”

Like many of the objectors, I’ve been in Open Source since before there was Open Source or the OSI, and am now doing a masters specialising in ML while coding an AI OS. This is condescending BS from talking heads who don’t even claim to have AI expertise.

Meanwhile their chosen “co-design” process is literally the “Do Your Own Research (DYOR)” of technical standards:

“We believe that everyone is an expert based on their own lived experience, and that we all have unique and brilliant contributions to bring to a design process.”

What a clown show. How do we get off this train?
I don’t recall them implying it was more concise just “good enough, and 1 less dependency”

Love the feedback. You're the second person (that I've seen) whose mentioned what a bad user experience it is to fill out everything and then get told that you have an invalid url. I'm trying to use very minimal javascript but this seems like a good place to add a little extra.

Also I need to fix the submit button problem.

Edit: This has all been fixed.
Very similar to my setup, although I alternate between Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code. I do just stick with git-gui for easy chunk/line commit selection.

Synergy and PBP (Picture-by-Picture) with an ultrawide monitor is great! I can split half my screen as Mac and the other as Windows, and the mouse and keyboard just seamlessly jump between the "gap" in the middle of the screen. I switched from a double screen setup (side by side) to an ultrawide and I've been happier than ever.

> If I may ask: Why?

Because I don't have an UPS. If the power goes down, the desktop computer crashes and there could be file corruption.
These kinds of tests are useless (to me at least) for three reasons.

First, these kinds of tests don't do anything useful and just show that some frameworks have more overhead than others. Once you have an app that was developed over years rather than hours and actually does a lot of stuff on every request, it's a whole different game.

Second, the kinds of applications I write rarely get more than 10-20 requests per second. If Rails would peak at 2500 rps as that YouTube video tests it at, that would be plenty. If I were writing some kind of IoT platform rather than a business app, I'd probably not start with Rails for that reason.

Third, for an actual web application, you want to consider what the user experiences, not just how fast the server responds. You can make an application feel much faster than the server response times by preloading on hover, (http) caching, async loading of things that are not visible yet, etc.
There are dozens of explanations, and if you truly believe this is the one singular reason that can be true, you haven’t thought very deeply about this topic.

One to get you started: even the poor have a right to a home that isn’t infested with the fumes of manufacturing. You don’t need to be rich to see the benefit of not allowing slaughterhouses in the middle of section 8 housing, surely?
40 years ago the spreadsheet was the killer app of the fledgling device known as the personal computer, and now it's an indelible part of many people's daily life.
> average people of the damage done by a wide range of economic policies, including bans on direct sales of autos by manufacturers, rent controls, occupational licensing laws, the Jones Act, prohibition of kidney sales, sugar import quotas, nationalized air traffic control, residential zoning and a zillion other examples I could cite.

Halfway through this I started anticipating indentured servitude and Food and Drug Act.

Some things that aren't Pareto Optimal/wringing every penny out of a market are good because they enable a lot of other efficiencies. I think clean air and water standards, and reliable food are some of these. Banking laws might be another.

Few things grind my gears worse than _templated_ yaml. It equivalent of building up a json object using only string concatenation. Most people would raise their eyebrows at that, yet templates yaml is seen as very normal.

I think in part it's a skills mismatch - a lot of devops/sysadmin type folks I encounter, while very talented, are not prolific coders. So code-forward solutions like jsonnet, starlark, dhall, nix, etc. are rather unfamiliar familiar.

It doesn't help that all but one of those languages mentioned are odd little functional languages, increasing the familiarity gap even further.
> Bird brains are probably tuned for rapid stick assessment.

I don’t think this is true, birds use all sorts of things to make their nests, including improvising with human objects if there are no sticks. Many don’t use sticks at all (e.g. glueing grass and leaves together with mud). Crows and pigeons in particular are probably smart enough to recognize a “good stick” as a valuable structural material based on physical principles, and can easily transfer that understanding to other “sticks” made of metal, plastic, etc. Note that for crows the assessment is not “rapid”, they play with sticks before deciding to accept or reject them: https://corvidresearch.blog/2016/03/29/everything-you-want-t...

"Nobody disagrees about the principles [behind the OSAID], where we see disagreement is implementation"

The principles are the four essential freedoms of free software, and the one job the OSI had in implementation was to work out what had to be open to protect them.

That's fair, but that's not how the author presented this request from their manager. Judging from the stories shared, people seemed to believe that they were being asked to share stories from their personal lives.

It doesn't really matter what the manager intended; if they were primarily looking for vulnerable professional moments, they should have said so. And if they were indeed looking for personal stories, that's inappropriate.
That's cool. I'm wondering if using an LLMs could make using Pandas or R as easy as Excel.
I built an interposer board to do this about 5 years ago (for a product that didn't go anywhere). Ended up using a beagle bone in USB gadget mode to expose an Ethernet adapter to the iPad I was using.
Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing spreadsheets are good for? I feel like I must be misunderstanding what you’re doing.
Off topic but I can't let this go by:

> yogurt requires a constant temperature over a specific length of time.

No it doesn't. I make perfectly good yoghurt in an old glass vacuum flask by heating a litre of milk to 80 C, allowing it to cool to 50 C, adding 60 g of live yoghurt, pouring it into the vacuum flask, putting the lid on and leaving it overnight.
> From a security perspective there are only two kinds of code bases: open & closed. By deduction one of those will have more eyeballs on the codebase than the other even if "nobody looks".

Is that the classification that matters? I'd think that there are only following two kinds of code bases: those that come with no warranty or guarantee whatsoever, and those attached to a contract (actual or implied) that gives users legal recourse specific party in case of damages caused by issues with that code (security or otherwise).

Guess which kind of code, proprietary or FLOSS, tends to come with legal guarantees attached? Hint: it's usually the one you pay for.

I say that because it's how safety and security work everywhere else - they're created and guaranteed through legal liability.
What does the "modern websites" mean? It honestly sounds like "this only works in the latest chrome, and only on the latest windows and macos".

Just looking around in India, I don’t believe the 2% figure. Maybe it’s not officially diagnosed, or the source for the figures is not accurate.

In the 1990s, an overweight (not even obese) person was a rare sight. People were actually be surprised to see a non skinny person.

Nowadays, overweight and even obese people are everywhere you look. And type 2 diabetes is strongly correlated with being overweight.

Reading these comments, I think I might be a dinosaur, but Excel (native, Windows) has a really good keybindings UI (you press Alt, and all the key choices light up), and the ability to record actions as macros and then inspect the code is absolutely gold for automation. I know VBA is profoundly uncool and all that, but boy, if there was a better native IDE inside Excel with Copilot helping me along, I would be throwing money at Microsoft right now.
For sure. Google sheets is good enough to be tolerable.

If a work place forced sheets on me, I’d resort to excel in the background. (I would fit in the excel power user category).
how repairable is such a design?
It’s highly likely not one thing. We’ve moved to trash foods, more sugar, worse fats, etc, plus we’re more inactive than ever and being constantly bombarded by stress 24/7 from news and the internet and consumerist mentality.
Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to search in lengthy YouTube videos
I built a Chrome extension to search in lengthy YouTube videos and jump to the exact timestamp in the video to get my questions answered.

Backstory: I have learned a ton from YouTube, but after a few days, I wanted to go back and refer to some key details. I kept guessing the timestamp and sometimes never actually found it. So, I decided to build a Chrome extension to search in a YouTube video by just asking questions. I can get it answered and also click on the answer to jump to the exact timestamps.

I'm planning to improve this, so any suggestions and feedback would be valuable. It's completely free, so feel free to check it out!

Reading this, I do get the impression that the Partially Meets Expectation was given to get more work out of this guy. It's the worst kind of manipulation - spinning something that was an unqualified success into a "failure." Especially because the boss clearly already had an internal narrative, and it sounds like they cherry-picked feedback from coworkers to support that narrative.

Having had something somewhat similar happen in the past, it seems like this is common at high-growth tech companies. Everyone pretends to be your friend, and there are definitely some genuine people, but getting ahead is clearly number 1.

Why trust Trump?

He's a proven liar --- and in particular he had lied repeatedly about tariffs.

China doesn't pay tariffs on goods shipped to the USA --- despite Trump repeated claims to the contrary.

Tariffs are paid by US importers, US manufacturers and US consumers.

In other words, they are undeniably a consumption tax.

Grok exists because of Elon’s vendetta against OpenAI (and Sam Altman) and how “woke” and “censored” ChatGPT is. So he spent boatloads of capital to create a rival that all the RWNJs on Twitter will pay for Twitter Premium to do things like “haha I asked Grok why did the gas chambers at Auschwitz have wooden doors” or to generate fake images of Donald Trump caressing Kamala Harris’ pregnant tummy “for the lulz”

If you're linking those pages because you would like those they're relevant to to visit them, perception matters. If not… well, the perception of "spam" can lead people to treat your site as spammy.
