Taking a look right now. I found the source code from another comment in this HN thread. Would be better if you linked it in app
I’m okay with waste products on an orbit that doesn’t make them rain on Earth for a few dozen millennia.
But other HOAs pave the roads, chlorinate the water, and put out the fires. And decide how to pay for that. It’s a power vacuum that attracts busybodies when the responsibility is fading paint, but sometimes an essential component of property value.
Try Droid48 on your phone. It works for me after I cracked a number key of my HP48GX.
None of what you wrote is covered under any reasonable definition of "facts". It's literally all just your opinion.
Very enjoyable reading! I've noted the book too now, and hope to get to it.
Who claimed those countries have any moral high ground?
>Basically, the vaccines dont work with prior exposure, and there is no test to know if men have been exposed. So thats why there is no focus on men, and why initially men were only approved for use if they were under 26 years old, based purely on probabilities they havent been exposed yet.

The vaccine (Gardasil) protects against 9 strains. Even if you've been exposed to 1 strain, it protects against the other 8 strains.

>Also at one point in time, it wasnt linked to cancers affecting men, and men were seen only as carriers. Now it seems any area of flesh exposed to HPV strains are at risk of cancer there.

Even if it didn't do anything in men, it's stupid not to vaccinate as many people as possible to get herd immunity. We understand this for a hundred years now with other vaccines, why not this one?

Apart from that it's not a bad guess to think that if it causes one cancer it will be causing other types of cancer as well. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

>The age of male coverage has been expanded to like mid-40s by now.

Sadly in Germany it's still only for younger men. And older men weren't offered the vaccine at all when they were younger, so they never got the offer. I paid out of pocket for it, but it's still stupid that we're still putting a part of the population at unnecessary risk for cancer, and also decreasing herd immunity at the same time.

Lack of HPV vaccination is just a symptom of lack of understanding of science and statistics in politics.
You need to watch Just Imagine 1930.

The movie has countless things we know from much later productions and countless things not seen elsewhere.

It takes place in the distant future, 1980, a place where everyone has a flying car, people have numbers in stead of names, the government decides who you can marry and babies come out of vending machines.

One IMDB comment described it as: I sat on the tip of my chair wondering if it could get any stranger and then it did!
Yeah this is really not the app to get detailed waveform info from... Even if it was wide it probably wouldn't tell you much - it's just a decoration.
Yes, but that's just how it works. A respected designer brings talent and years of experience, expertise, theoretical knowledge, and intuition to their task. But like most of us, they aren't very good at introspecting to explain the real reason they arrived at a particular design.

They are, nevertheless, required by business types to come up with some sort of justification, and that's what you just read. It doesn't matter whether it's truthful or accurate, so long as it's plausible from a business perspective.
I'm in your position. Wish I could offer help but I'm also lost. Hope you find something soon!
Which state? Was it one of the 2024 battleground states (MI, PA, NC)?

And did those political SMSs honor opt-out requests or not?
Indonesia clear on the requirements for foreign manufacturers - you have to build locally or consumer products face being banned. With nearly 300 million people, they have leverage, especially when there are strong competitors around who might comply. Good example of assertive national government

> I really feel like if you are in a position to determine tooling, it's so much more helpful to lean into whatever people on the ground want to use.

This might mean picking something that you think/know kind of sucks for the task, but that will be easier for most people to grok - while it might subjectively feel unfortunate, it's probably the right thing to do, for the sake of the majority of the team having an easier time.

Pushing your interests more strongly, or even in a top down fashion, might work, but that's more risky both in regards to letting everyone get things done, as well as team cohesion and turnover.

If you're ever in central Utah you should make the trip to see Pando, it grows beside Fish Lake which is teeming with life, and surrounded by beautiful hills and mountains that make for great campsite views. The lake is full of landlocked kokanee salmon that never see an ocean in their lifetime.
Only if you cannot change one service without changing the other simultaneously. It's fine to have evolving messages on the queue but they have to be backwards compatible with any existing subscribers, because you cannot expect all subscribers to update at the same time. Unless you have a distributed monolith in a monorepo, but at least be honest about it.

Multiple services connecting to the same database has been considered a bad idea for a long time. I don't necessarily agree, but I have no experience in that department. It does mean more of your business logic lives in the database (rules, triggers, etc).
Buying bread is the economy.

If I have to hand over more and more value over time for the same amount of bread (that is easier and easier to manufacture each decade), then "the economy" isn't doing well.

If I hold the scarcest money in the universe, then the bread will get get cheaper and cheaper to me over time. This is a great economy.

I'm not going be sitting around in my riches starving because food will be cheaper next week :-D :-D
The higher the ROI the more people invest in building housing, bringing the price of housing and the ROI down. This is the general rule of supply and demand, to which exceptions are exceptional and rare. It is the single most well accepted principle in economics.
If you have to have the latest version etc of every microservice, it's a distributed monolith.

I don’t think about this at all in terms of numbers.

Home office nudges towards isolation and lack of physical activity, while the office nudges towards interaction, moving at least a little bit and face to face interactions. No matter the outliers, the latter are considered universally good.

I’ve noticed that when I am in the office I usually have nice conversations with colleagues at lunch, that are good for my well-being. Sometimes we discuss interesting news from work, or their projects or other technical topics. We’re not Bell Labs of decades ago so the impact is obviously not large, but it exists.

My commute is 15m by bike. Even so I don’t look forward to going to the office because of various factors, but I do usually enjoy it when I’m there.
The fun thing about working on this extension is that it reminds me that everything you see still just boils down to HTML + CSS at the end of the day. Despite all the modern frontend tooling we have: it's all the same in the browser!
What's jarring me with the parent's example is the fact that the context managers must be holding global state.

It would feel a lot better if it was this, for example, where you use each context explicitly:

from diagrams import Diagram
from diagrams.aws.compute import EC2

with Diagram("Simple Diagram") as d:
d.add(EC2("web"))

As as the parent also suggests, this then doesn't really need the context management at all

from diagrams import Diagram
from diagrams.aws.compute import EC2

d = Diagram("Simple Diagram")
d.add(EC2("web"))
Fructose is unhealthy literally the same way as alcohol. It’s the only carb that needs to be processed in the liver because it’s toxic and the excess is converted to visceral fat which is damaging and causes nonalcoholic fatty liver
It was completely the same.

The same reasoning against Evolution, can be used for Plate Tectonics. So the question is valid, why do you believe one and not the other?

Many in this thread are creationist that believe the world was created 6000 years ago. The argument that at that time god kicked off Evolution and Plate Tectonics at same time. The arguments are valid for both.

But of course at the point you are using mysticism to just make up creation myths, of course you could reason about anything.
glad sanity is returning to the world bit by bit

a lot of apps -- just need a few reactive interactions which htmx, alpine and cash or other libraries like hyperscript, stimulusjs etc fulfill. I mean your standard line of the business apps. consumer apps it might be different, but then even those that have use once mechanics such as Kashi, polymarket, reddit etc don't need to use react.
Black Locust can produce sprouts out of its root system, but from what I've read a single organism can cover up to 1ha, and the sprouts become independent eventually, so not exactly the same.
This is an hour long survey of the accumulated wisdom of a software developer who clearly cares a lot about the craft.

I listened to it this morning while doing my stoutness exercises, and there's a lot of good wisdom here. I'll probably chase down some of the books he mentions. If you're not concerned with the philosophical preamble, skip to the 5:15 mark.

The USFS (Department of Agriculture) never had enough resources. The amount of land is almost unprotectable: California: 20 million acres Idaho: 20 million Oregon: 16 million. Fighting fires really should be a state job. I think Idaho delivers much better results for resources spent, in areas that are more vulnerable. California is dysfunctional when it comes to multiple teams and agencies working together, and making decisions that could be controversial. I suspect USFS is relieved to interact less.
Shouldn't be hard to find since the repo name on github is same as the domain :).

OP here. Thanks for taking a look. I respect your critique; you're not alone. Check out the feedback/critiques on The Monospace Web (the design/framework I've used) from HN earlier this year[1]. I feel inspired to write when I look at my blog's design, which is why I chose it. But, I understand that not everyone who reads it feels that way.

You can read or download the raw markdown format, hosted on Github[2], if you're interested in the content in a different format.

The font is from iA Writer[3], called iA Writer Duo, which arguably is not meant for a wall of prose, but I chose it because I found it easier to read than its contemporaries.

I suspect this is the big one, at size, you can have people on staff that do nothing but fight property value increases. It may be like throwing a stick against the wind but some of them will land ahead and they get some reductions on annual increases.

Is this /s ? I can't tell. This reeks of some trickle down nonsense speak. What these pe firms want is rent, control over a limited market, with inflated prices for a consumer base who's purchasing power has turned to mush. Prices will inflate

Only if you use a deserializer that's tied to your classes, and not put everything in a dict. And then only if the data encounters an operation that doesn't accept it. But many operations accept e.g. strings, arrays, ints and floats. Is there even an operation that throws a TypeError when using a float instead of int?

Pydantic only helps (AFAIK) when you're letting it help, and you actually use the correct type information. It's not difficult to use, but it's optional, and can be faulty.

Of course it didn't. A dictatorship country with the greatest population on Earth was given everything it needed to become the greatest industrial power and hold everyone else to ransom. The earlier the West divests from China entirely, the better, preferably few decades ago.
In a past job I've had a good experience in this case with docker compose (well, something similar).

You would list the services you need (or service groups) in a config file, start a command and all services would start in containers. Sure, you need a lot of RAM with that but on 32Gb it was working fine.
Considering that Apple products are already at a 30+% premium price in Indonesia as compared to the United States, for example, I'm not sure who this policy is actually helping. The iPhone is a vanity thing that many people in Indonesia love and this kind of government attitude is simply driving up prices for smuggled in imports and ultimately hurting their own people that they are trying to help.

Because the ban here is on the sale not on the registration of imei's. So these phones are still coming in they are still getting registered they are just getting the heavy tax that is applied on an import and locals are still buying them with money that many of them don't have and could better be spent on other life improvements. Indonesia should be focusing on reducing the amount of corruption that they have in their government, decreasing the costs for items like this, and then encouraging businesses to invest and build locally.

The amount of bribes that it takes for a business to set itself up in Indonesia to fulfill this requirement is ridiculous. Indonesia was making efforts to reduce the amount of corruption but with this current president that trend has been totally reversed. The level of corruption , not only that it affects companies trying to do business but also for a locals just trying to avail themselves of basic government services is insane.

Indonesia has minimum wage laws in place across to their country, but why are they never enforced? It's simple to find people who are not being paid the minimum wage. No one in the government cares. Indonesia has one of the broadest and most complete universal health Care systems, why is it that healthcare is such a problem for the average person in indonesia? Don't worry this policy is going to fix everything because it's all the fault of offshore manufacturing.
If it has to be such an absurd amount, wouldn't a googol have been a more fitting sum?

Complete nonsense. Tomato yields are a very small part of the price of ketchup.

And ketchup prices in the U.K. also increased. Are U.K. supermarkets colluding with American supermarkets?

Energy costs along with increased demand has a huge impact on prices. There are vast microeconomic factors but also macroeconomic factors as well. For instance, a declining economy (or more accurately, increased inflation ,) means that more people buy cheaper food. And most fast food features — ketchup. Higher demand + increased fuel costs + same sized harvests = higher ketchup prices.

I am highly simplifying the ketchup market but the Democrat talking point of “supermarket collusion” is absolute nonsense and not based on any evidence.

Supermarkets buy their products from distributors — do you know the price of ketchup from a distributor? If the distributor price remained exactly the same, and supermarkets operate on similar financial models, then the price at the shop will be very similar. That isn’t collusion, that’s how commodities get priced at the retail level.

As far as the “billionaire class” — who gets rich from Chinese SOEs? (Hint, it isn’t the workers who are paid effectively slave wages with no recourse to move to another employer because those SOEs are, by the very definition of SOE, in collusion. The wealth inequality gap in China is massive. You have the Audi class, and the bicycle class — and not much in the middle. The other interesting factor about Chinese economics is their currency manipulation. But that’s a topic for another day.

Those arguing for Chinese-style anything in the realm of economics ought to spend a few years living there prior to forming an opinion.

For those interested in ketchup, here’s a Guardian article describing the issue of grocery inflation: https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/15/heinz-tomat...

One neat trick I discovered for finding good movies on IMDb is to delve into the review history of users who share my unique tastes, especially when they diverge from mainstream opinions.

For example, I found "Paris, Texas" to be pretty disappointing, yet most reviews were overwhelmingly positive. So, I sought out others who also didn't enjoy it and explored their review history to find movies we both agreed on.

Occasionally, you'll hit the jackpot and find an avid reviewer whose taste aligns perfectly with yours, providing a treasure trove of excellent movie recommendations.

I like to call these users my "IMDb doppelgangers."
I would guess that this is correct. My dreams are very much like half way between waking consciousness and a surreal movie - my consciousness doesn't seem to play a part in generating the surroundings and scenery and most of the plot, that seems to be the result of GenBrain.

I think daytime thoughts are also GenBrain btw. Only that waking brain has access to higher mental function - namely longer term memory, higher propensity to notice/surface inconsistencies etc.

Honestly i think this would just lead to more perfectly good food begin wasted.

It's one of these things that would be good to know as a consumer but as a society it would be detrimental, imho

"Safe to eat" i think it's the best metric, you can do a 1+1 for certain products if you want (like olive oil has a 18m shelf life, etc)

On the same note i think "best by" dates should be illegal imho.
When it is "part of the plant" you consume it together with fibers and vitamines etc. It is part of living cells.
Time ago I read that the cheapest way to do it (energy wise) is going very far away, let's say entering Pluto's or Neptune's orbits, cancel out the orbital speed there (it's lower than Earth's one) and then fall into the sun. It takes quite a bit of patience.
I mean you also eat the cane. Most people dont. Too much fiber.
The problem is the growing demand (mostly through government policy) and limited supply (mostly through government policy). So we should blame PE.
