> As in you lose your license on your second DUI or third at-fault collision,

Sorry, but this is still too lenient.

People should immediately lose their driving licence with a substantial fine for being caught drink-driving—even if it's just the first time, and be permanently barred from ever getting one again. If their driving under influence causes the slightest injury to other people they should receive a substantial jail sentence, and should their driving cause death they ought to receive at least a first-degree manslaughter charge. I know this will sound appalling to Americans, but driving is a privilege, not a right.

If pilots have so much stricter rules about operating their machinery, so should road users.
Replicating GPT-2, the most dangerous NLP model (2019)

Yep, I think the agplv3 behaves like the gplv3 for programs that are not network services.

With the twist that if your non networked, agplv3 program happens to contain code that's interesting to build a network service, this code can only be used under the agplv3 :-)
Good stuff in here, but be cautioned that the author doesn’t mention their customers are engineers until a bit later in. Which gives a lot more leeway in allowing engineers to make a majority of decisions.

In a more complex domain, like maybe selling private securities, collaboration isn’t slow, it helps us not get fined millions of dollars by the SEC.

Personally, I also love minimalist process and likewise believe “methodology” is bullshit, but I caution you, the reader, to consider the specifics of the context you’re working in.

For me, that means that almost everything goes figma first. Engineers + product work together to build a figma, which allows other parties to see what we’re building and contribute in a tangible and useful way.
The brands who have continued to sell this ingredient should be considered untrustworthy. It's basically fraud.

They can and do, but struggle with the following problems:
- Assessing English proficiency. It's hard to do if you can't speak English yourself, and so they tend to fall back on numeric measures like test scores (which someone who has grown up overseas and speaks English at a native level might not bother to take, and someone who has grinded for a test might pass while having mediocre communication ability).

- Paying fluent English speakers enough to attract and keep them. Japanese salaries are low, and they tend to start all new hires at the same level and give gradual raises over time, with little consideration for special skills such as English ability. Fluent English speakers often either go overseas or work at international companies that pay more and also have better work-life balance.

- Many Japanese companies are rigid and formal in culture. Japanese people who have spent significant time overseas struggle to adjust, and they are not given the cultural leeway that a foreigner might be given.

- Control. There's a significant number of managers who are either micromanage-y or insecure about their own English ability and therefore can't just let a fluent speaker do their job without burdening them with nitpicky rules or insisting on rewriting things themselves.
I got interested in Ham radio after listening to this episode with NVK: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nvk/id1694064646?i=100...

Seems that the movement is going through a small renaissance now. Basically - yes, the internet made it irrelevant for a long time if you think about Ham as a way to form communities, meet random people on the other side of the planet...

But imagine having devices talk to each other without the internet. This is where it starts to become really interesting!

The more interesting take for me is that these meds work roughly the same way and almost as well in people without ADHD (a symptom cluster, not a single disease per se, like everything else in the DSM). As we give them to people with ADHD why not let anyone get a scrip?
> Most companies assign requirements, assert a deadline, and treat quality as an output. We tend to do the opposite. Given a standard of quality, what can we ship in 60 days?

Also, work tends to expand to occupy alloted time. That is, if you tell someone they have 60 days to finish a task that could be done in a week, most often than not people will use 60 days.

So by not limiting what should be done in 60 days, they are more likely to avoid this pitfall.
You're missing the point of the article. It's showing that if the halting problem was decidable, lots of other things would also be possible (such as trivially proving various mathematical conjectures). It really has nothing much to do with what programmers do for their day job.

In 1984 Apple marketed the ($2500+) Mac as the "computer for the rest of us." That was not exactly correct. It was the "computer for people who have trouble using DOS or the C64 but have a lot of money."

That being said, in 2024 Apple does play in the $350-$600 market with the iPad, iPhone SE, and Mac mini, which still support Apple's margin structure and profit share strategy.
I see a lot of people here misunderstood the article. It's not an attack on Gitlab in any way. Or taking the side for Github or Microsoft. It talks about business decision, not ideological one.

If anything, it's attack on French bureaucratic processes that make it hard for employees to ask for something to be purchased. Or it's a cultural thing, once you're employed you're a fixed cost and your hourly rate is not analyzed anymore in purchasing decisions.

The results are the same. It's easier to spend 10 hours on a free thing than to get approved a purchase for something that costs one hour. Numbers are just an example, don't know how they hit this specific case.

Therefore, when considering market for your software, it's not only about demand and usage, you have to take into account whether that demand comes from those who are willing to spend money. The fact that 50% of developers in France use Gitlab, doesn't mean much if they're not willing to pay. If above the average (compared to other countries) 50% of usage is specifically because of the free self-hosting option, it preselects those who will spend time instead of money.

Anecdotally, sales of my software in France, or for that matter in Spain or Italy, are 10x smaller than sales in Netherlands, or Sweden, much smaller countries. maybe it's a language thing, as some countries are know for excellent levels of English, and some not? But since my software is for developers and IT people English shouldn't be a barrier for them, so I suspect cultural and bureaucratic reasons are the main culprit.
So a useless drug has made billions and took 30 years to be taken off the market . And who knows what damage it’s done ? Can we go back to being suspicious of pharmaceutical companies and the fda ?
SE in Austria and Switzerland, 10y+ experience.

I won't disagree with your assessment that the tech stack changes rarely or ever, but newly founded companies are still picking GitLab fairly often. AFAICS every business wants their tech stack "moved to the cloud", but infra people weight the costs and still have good contacts to local data centers from the pre-cloud-era - you know, contacts with a phone numbers and human support. Those data centers made it a business to run GitLab instances for you, among other things. A lot of businesses choose a discounter like Hetzner first and then move to one of those when support matters.

That is mostly the best overall price (direct and indicrect costs) for the offered value, data governance included.
Does that mean that taking warp zones in Mario doesn't count as beating the game?
OK I removed the URL. Really looking for help.
I don't even understand how you can point to LLVM as an example of this failing. GCC is still alive and well, and perfectly suited for the task it was always intended to fill. People that wanted a commercial C compiler always had the option to purchase one at-cost, GCC was intended as an alternative to that process, not the alternative. It may be hard to remember, but less than 50 years ago squabbles over compiler licensing was what most developers had to deal with.

Respectively, LLVM fills it's own gap nicely. It has the classical BSD-like issue where hundreds of unique and disperate forks exist with no roadmap to bring them together, but that's also technically a "feature" of each license and not a bug. If GCC developers felt their job was obsoleted by Lattner, there wouldn't be a reason to update and maintain it. The end result has been healthy competition, accountability for either team, and better optimizations for everyone using either compiler.

Show HN: Simple dashboard for all all GitHub Action results of a GitHub org
Motivation: I have multiple GitHub repos in a GitHub org that I want to monitor GitHub Actions results for (basically to tell whether a project is deployed successfully or not). Previously I had them all posting to a Discord webhook and then receiving Discord notifications, but that webhook broke. Instead of fixing the webhook for each of the project, I decided to just write a simple dashboard that gathers GitHub Actions results from all repos of my GitHub org, and from there I can monitor the deployment progress of my projects, instead of maintaining webhook for all of them.

> Yeah I get that, but if we're inventing magic infinite computers, why not invent magic halting algorithms?

Do you object to doing geometry because it involves a magic infinite plane? The point is that by studying the behaviour of this simple model we can learn useful things.

> This paragraph is essentially saying this - if we had magic computers then we could magic things we them, but we don't so we can't.

If you knew what a program would do on a magic computer, you could do very interesting things. The point isn't to have an actual magic computer.
Yes exactly. The engineers as users part is important IMHO. I would also really like to see how this whole thing pans out in the long term.
I assume you're referring to it guessing at what command you might type next? If so, the closest I can think of is Warp. Have you tried it?
Stelo is essentially a binned, feature-restricted version of the G7 that’s available OTC without a prescription. If you qualify for getting a G7, need readings more frequently than every 15 minutes, or have any need for high/low glucose alerts, then you shouldn’t consider Stelo at all, IMO —- it’s strictly an inferior version of the G7.

You are absolutely right that I misremembered the Bucharest summit as 2014, not 2008, and it was Georgia that Russia invaded 4 months after the NATO secretary-General said the two countries would have eventual membership.

I think it would be only fair to include serval things on your timeline. Between 1 and 2 of your list you have the revolution ousting of the pro-Russian government that passed the 2010 NATO laws.

You also have a number of escalations following #4. In 2016, Ukraine was granted the Comprehensive Assistance Package (CAP), comprising the advisory mission at the NATO Representation to Ukraine as well as 16 capacity-building programmes and Trust Funds. In 2018, Ukraine was officially given an aspiring member status. In 2020 Ukraine was given the Enhanced Opportunities Partner status, Which is that status formerly held by Finland and Sweden, and currently held by Australia.

>> It is all about NATO expansion into Ukraine and entirely avoidable.
> No, its not.

Do you seriously think that we would be in the current situation had NATO flat out told Ukraine "no", or if the US had backtracked in the 2020s, instead of pushing forward?
For me, this would lead to growing to hate running and stopping to do it entirely. Especially when life is stressful and overall sux, strong "irrational" rules are first I end up resented. Irrational as in "this adds one more time consuming chore to already sucky life".

I got myself injuries from overtraining for not listening to body already twice. And I was not fit or competitive, anything like that. Just physically average person being more ambitious then is reasonable.
Asterogue is a "juicy" graphical coffeebreak roguelike I made that is pretty much directly inspired by the original Rogue in terms of scope and features. You descend 17 levels into the heart of an asteroid to find The Orb and save the universe. There are a bunch of different monsters which get progressively harder as you descend. Instead of magic there is technology and you can pick up nanotech items and beakers of chemicals to buff your character (or hurt them if you get unlucky).

I built Asterogue over the course of a couple of months while I was bored on a break from work due to illness. The game was always built with web tech but I only released it on Android and Windows at first because that seemed to be the right way to release a game. Well I recently realized maybe the right way is the wrong way. Maybe this web thing really is catching on. So now I'm trying out a web release to see if I can make it easier for more people to play Asterogue. So far this is working well and the game is getting more daily players than it ever did as a native app, which I'm very grateful for!

For the web based version I am trying a new payment model. The original Asterogue was like most other games in that you simply buy it in the app store or on Itch and download the game. This time around I am trying a new experiment with this and instead of buying a downloadable binary, you can play the first few levels free in your browser and then you pay one-time to unlock the full game online if you want to continue. I think this strikes a nice balance for players as you get to try it out and only continue if you're actually into the game once you have picked up the vibe. I haven't really seen this done before with web based games so it's all a bit of an experiment.

This release also includes a bunch of fixes and new features based on feedback I received from players after the native version was release.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my little roguelike game. Have fun!
I see. Language barrier here. In my language "criminal" is somebody that killed another person. Seems in English the word can be used for any "unlawful activity". Good to know.

The lemon tool that is used by SQLite can output the grammar as SQL database that you can manipulate.
There is https://github.com/ricomariani/CG-SQL-author that goes way beyond and you'll need to create the Rust generation, you can play with it here with a Lua backend https://mingodad.github.io/CG-SQL-Lua-playground/ .

Also I'm collecting several LALR(1) grammars here https://mingodad.github.io/parsertl-playground/playground/ that is an Yacc/Lex compatible online editor/interpreter that can generate EBNF for railroad diagram, SQL, C++ from the grammars, select "SQLite3 parser (partially working)" from "Examples" then click "Parse" to see the parse tree for the content in "Input source".

I also created https://mingodad.github.io/plgh/json2ebnf.html to have a unified view of tree-sitter grammars and https://mingodad.github.io/lua-wasm-playground/ where there is an Lua script to generate an alternative EBNF to write tree-sitter grammars that can later be converted to the standard "grammar.js".
There isn't really a solution that preserves the vision and advantages of a monorepo. If infra, config, and code are stored in the same repository, then rolling back one necessarily means that the others are supposed to have been rolled back as well. When the version of the code is not a simple identifier pointing to the code but the code itself, there's simply no way to do that safely without recompiling and retesting the code. Same as when a change to code results in a revert to the infrastructure - run plan, run apply, wait for the slow infrastructure APIs, and that must happen before the change to code.

If you try to come up with fancy rules like forbidding changes to infra, config, and code in the same commit, then you're just cramming a polyrepo design into a monorepo, with much more fragility, because commits get rebased and squashed and etc.

Non of that really applies to running an emergency net. A remote station isn’t gonna ask an emergency net operator to change frequency. In interference you would just politely ask the interferer to piss off. Most complicated scenario you’ll have to deal with is an asshole jamming you and switching to a backup frequency.

Obviously experience helps, but you can also summarize 95% of what needs to be done in 5 or 10 minutes. And you don’t need 95% of what you usually study or learn for a ham license
No worries, "Meth" was largely unknown in my area, until you guys exported "Breaking Bad". Roughly a year or two later, it started to be available here as well. Thanks for that, media industry, that was a wonderful move! /s

Not controversial as far as I'm concerned. I used to say, only half joking, that all car drivers should have to learn to ride a motorbike.

I stopped riding a motorbike when I had kids. I was a pretty safe rider and still nearly got hit twice by car drivers assuming that, if cars weren't moving, nothing else on the road would be.

Once by someone in stationary traffic deciding he'd had enough and was going to turn and drive the other way without checking his mirrors (I was going slowly enough that I could just about stop although I came off the bike). And once when a driver suddenly shot out of an invisible side road at speed (again, no cars were moving on the main road).
The doctors will remove medication when the blood pressure goes down. You are literally supposed to take them only when the pressure is actually high.
I really enjoyed this. I try to run my team similarly.

Where I disagree slightly is vendors. If the need filled by the vendor is well-defined and low-complexity, sure, I'll go for it. Otherwise, I'm doing it in-house nine times out of ten.

Where this starts to get tricky is when some worthy competitors emerge, utilizing your foundation to scale quicker and more effectively. Then you might wish you had hired more people earlier. But overall, I think starting from this perspective is a lot safer than the opposite.
That’s the difficulty of it right? We’re just talking about what qualifies as “vital”. Is saving 1 life “vital”? I’m sure you, I, and most people would say yes. What else could you say? But it’s not likely to “move the needle” per se in a broader rescue effort. Ham radio is “vital” in emergency situations in the sense that it “could” help some people. But if it was really a needle mover, why is it left to volunteers and community best-effort to do? Why are we not demanding publicly funded rescue services to hold these roles instead? Because the ROI in terms of moving the needle of a rescue effort is just not there.

An emergency net operated by amateur ham operators can last for hundreds of hours answer 800 questions, 780 of those are “how is it lookin’ out there?”, “any updates when this neighborhood is getting power back”, “this is Victor-Tango-7-Kilo-Kilo-India happy to help out folks if you need anything just holler”. Maybe 15 of someone actually reporting some useful update for a given value of usefulness and maybe 0-1 actual emergency stuff. It gives people with radios a place to vent without tying up actual rescue group resources answering and re-answering mundane questions.
Almost every family in Japan has an expensive rice cooker. They eat rice 2-3 times a day so I trust them. The end result is a lot better, and water is too important to be eyeballed.
I don’t know that I see the difference - but I suppose we’re getting into Brains In Vats territory. In my view (well, Baudrillard’s view, but who’s counting?) a perfect description of a thing is as good as the thing itself, and we in fact interact with our semantic description of reality, rather than with raw reality itself - the latter, when it manifests in humans, results in vast cognitive dysfunction - Sachs wrote somewhat in the topic of unfiltered sensorium and the impact on the ability to operate in the world.

So yeah. I think what these models do and what we do is more similar than we might realise.
Maybe they want that, maybe they don't. Retail drug stores in the US are an oligopoly, that industry may not be a monopoly (yet) but they don't function under perfect competition. Maybe if you're the management or the shareholders of a retail drug chain you're just kind of shrugging your shoulders and working on the next merger at this point since the fewer competitors you have, the less hard you have to work for the customer's dollar.
The car driver’s view is irrelevant when determining who made the mistake, only the facts of the matter. And in the vast majority of cases, it’s the car driver.
