- Often it is about, guiding team not to overengineer for the future scenarios

I have a license for PHPStorm, so I agree that it is worth it, but what exactly do you mean by browsing classes/functions?
> And it's not just from the perspective of the creator. Lots of people would write blog posts for free, if people would read them. But then Google dumps them out of the search results in favor of YouTube videos that take ten times as long to tell you the same info, and then the bloggers stop writing because nobody is reading.

I disagree with this take. I hate learning by video unless it's for physical stuff where seeing it is useful (e.g. how to wire something), and thus I always prefer text content when searching for information (due to the higher flexibility in moving at my own pace instead of the narrator's).

I've never had issues with Google pushing videos too much in search results. You have an initial "videos" results block I just scroll past by, and that's that.

The much bigger issue is the narrowing attention span of people. Thanks to social media, like Twitter, but also Stories, Shorts, Snaps, Reels, TikTok, etc. people's attention span is going down. Many people would prefer watching 10 tiktoks instead of spending 10 minutes reading a blog post.
so where is the "plugin" mentioned?

It's really a shame that popular media made Shor's algorithm the pinnacle of quantum computing. After 3 years in the industry, I've yet to meet a single scientist, engineer, or organization who's truly interested or does active research in implementing Shor's algorithm. Even Grover's algorithm is more "popular", there are actual demos and small prototypes. But neither are actually the focus of the majority of active development.

It's as if the whole world would believe, for some reason, that the goal of AI is to produce punk songs in Farsi, and every news article about AI would be filled with comments "but can it make Farsi punk yet?"

Not to downplay the importance of Shor's algorithm, but it's just weird.

I’m not a prescriptivist either. Language usage changes over time, and that’s fine. And my personal conventions for usage can be different than yours.

The more interesting (to me) question is whether spoken English and written English share the same conventions. I think it’s abundantly clear that in most languages, they are divergent, to the point that some spoken languages have multiple written forms, each with their own ruleset for handling topics like formality or gender.

So to me, saying “gonna” all day long doesn’t automatically transfer to writing, where most people write “going to.” Same with commas—the written conventions are not, as far as I’m concerned, about mimicking speech pauses. If that rule works for you, great. It doesn’t for me, and I fall back to patterns that are drawn from reading the written word.

For low bar, I didn’t mean to sound like I was taking a dig. What I meant was that a written sentence which isn’t comprehensible isn’t functional. Once you get past functional, there’s a world of expression and nuance that come from different writing styles.
Or AI tools will be used to pad out the reports making the author look prolific while knowing everyone will summarize the report to important parts.
Huh, that looks very interesting. A friend of mine made a streaming service back in the day where you could paste in youtube links, they got downloaded, added to a playlist and then you could listen to that together with friends on multiple computers.

I always wanted to rebuild that and adjust to my needs. Now this convert thing from the OP seems to be an interesting extension to that. Just paste in spotify links, grab the YT one, yt-dlp it and there you go. Ill put this in my favorites, thanks!
> If PETM was due to large scale use of hydrocarbons, there should be evidence of depletion in the strata, right?

And all the byproducts of this use. We are leaving abundant traces of our existence basically everywhere. We can see it in the ground, in the seas, in the ice caps. Our existence will be very obvious to anything caring to just dig for quite a long time.
I heard they sued everyone who displayed the book a certain way. The best way, actually: a single column of prices, with bid quantities on one side of the prices in the bottom left and the asks on the top right.

This seemed to be why you had to organise it yourself to show it the "TT way" on any other system instead of having it out of the box.

I used to use Apple Music but when my Credit Card expired I missed two months payment and Apple happily deleted all of my playlists and library. I don’t think they realise how bad this is, but I will never use it or subscribe ever again.
Does Apple care though? It seems that Apple's main focus these days is on mobile "lifestyle" devices and services: iPhone, Siri, and Apple Music fits right into that. How many Apple users actually care about listening to AM on their desktop (presumably a Mac)?

Of course, Apple still pushes its overpriced Macs, but the focus there seems to be on developers (for the more expensive stuff--big monitors, workstations, etc.) or people (probably corporate workers, developers, etc.) using MacBooks. In both cases, the focus seems to be on machines used for doing work. I'm just guessing, but I would guess that most MacOS users who want to listen to (Apple) music would do so on their personal device, i.e. their iPhone, rather than their MacOS device which is probably owned and managed by their employer.
Then it's easy to see why Spotify is so popular in America these days...

The attacker would have to take the targeted YubiKey physically apart to get access to the Infineon chip. Then, after performing enough successful FIDO2 challenges (ie. logins with phished credentials) they would need to put the device back together, and do so without the victim noticing that their YubiKey has been physically compromised.

The keys are tamper-evident.

The attack is not impossible, and surely fits within the capabilities of nation state actors. For majority of other users it's a theoretical attack.

Well, if for any reason you went "hey, what the hell does that mean" and decided to look it up:

- (informal offensive) a person with a physical disability, especially one that affects someone's legs
- (informal) a limp (= a way of walking slowly and with difficulty because of having an injured or painful leg or foot )
- a person who gets sexual pleasure from being hurt or treated badly

(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gimp)

And it's not like this is super obscure or anything. The "most influential film of the 90s", Pulp Fiction, literally had a character that was "the gimp". This is pretty mainstream.

This is along the lines of "Hey co-worker, I found the best text editor the other day. It's called pizdă, you should give it a try! Pizdă seems like it would help you!"

But hey, GIMP is taking it back (https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-the-name-...) any day now. It's only been 25+ years. Any day now.
FWIW the decision to leak memory on Mac actually goes back ~26 years to FreeBSD - https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5604 which OSX inherited. I would not be surprised that Windows setenv has BSD roots due to licensing.

26 years ago people knew this API was broken but didn't fix it due to inertia of breaking buggy programs further.

There really shouldn't be a need to change your own process's envvars. For subprocesses just use the proper exec function. For anything else there should be a clear API to call rather than changing a global variable and hoping some code far away from yours rereads it and handles things correctly.

Software and hardware support does matter. Apple made sure that Logic Pro, GarageBand, and MainStage worked well on Apple's OS and hardware platforms, and third party apps benefited. Apple also did a great job with Apple pencil, which works very well for Procreate.
Ya I'd say the key is lexical scoping and strong typing. C has those. Python and Ruby have neither.

>It doesn't really store your files in Cloud, like Apple Music does; it just allows you to access local files per device.

Perhaps things have changed, but 10 or so years ago I "uploaded" my music to Spotify and it didn't actually upload anything, nor did it play my local music.

Rather, spotify used whatever it had in its database with the same name/artist, which wasn't always the same recording or even the same song.

And then there were the ads. No thanks.

I have my own library of more than 22,000 tracks and use Winamp, Jellyfin and VLC to play them wherever I happen to be. No muss, no fuss, and most importantly, no ads.
Top SEO Keywords Report [Nov 2024]
It’s a deep dive as of like 2015 probably. I don’t know if anyone has done something similar for modern GEMMs. Maybe the CUTLASS or Colfax people?
Well, during the first days of the Pandemic I discovered that theathletic was using the same hardcoded API key for EVERY SINGLE ACCOUNT on their app. Granted, sports news when there were no sports and the near absence of interactive elements made it pretty meaningless, except you could impersonate any user to leave comments. So, bizarrely, sometimes you can reverse engineer right into other people's accounts, I just am not quite sure how the devs (I think, looking at the comments in the code, that they were Czech) managed to get the gig, considering how much the site was able to gather talent and create great content in spite of the paywall, and was sold to the NY Times for quite a bit of cash ($550 million). A $550 million app should not be using a hardcoded key in production.

The Times is really not a great tech company in any sense. If I were a bit less lazy/busy I'd get more into their audio app, but frankly their reporting has gone downhill. I guess they're running the referral mill strategy now with all the ads they put into the app where there were none. Maybe they can hire some better programmers, or better reporters, for that matter.
Ask HN: How has your experience been with a Snapdragon-based laptop?
I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I'm wondering if people have run into any hiccups in terms of app support.
I recently made a transition from Spotify to Tidal and found the suggested transfer service to do the job really clumsy. In my case I've transferred favorite artists and the service was just trying to match them by name which failed miserably when there was more than one with the same name - seemingly it picked one randomly. I wonder how this service would do.
Environment variables are per-process, but inherited by child processes (not system wide). So when you start other programs you often set up env vars for them, or clear env vars that were used by your parent process to not inadvertantly perturb the child's behaviour.
> Conspiracy theory is a self-reinforcing loop and people primed for this sort of thing do jump onto the next one without much critical thinking.

Just the other day someone posted on a social network that they believe the war going on in Ukraine is "fake". I believe they used the word "Psyop". They claim they do not see any footage of the war, unlike the war in Israel, so it must be fake. So, I posted links to footage of several battles, which are very easy to find even on Youtube, and linked to one of the many "mappers" who post map update videos of the changes in the frontlines daily, which also always include plenty of footage of battles (usually with a couple of weeks delay given that videos from the battles that are still going on are highly sensitive as the military can use them in their favour). The person still denied that those things prove anything, and doubled down by saying the footage just proves their point that the war is not killing a million people (the one-million dead figure seems to be circulating in part of the media in the USA. I believe that's a high estimate , but still realistic when thousands of soldiers seem to be dying on both sides every day, and the war is approaching 3 years already).

It's incredible to me someone that seems like a real person who appears to participate in politics locally (looking at their profile, they are highly politically engaged in Texas with the Republican Party) could just dismiss obvious evidence like that just because it does not support some bizarre belief that they formed... but this seems to be really common these days!

My experience from predicting on Metaculus, and following this space for a few years, is that it's hard to operationalize the thing you want to predict precisely. Regularly, things go completely sideways in ways that the author did not foresee, and the market ends up hinging on some technicality, rather than the spirit of the question it tried to predict.

Some examples:

- A question about asset prices specifies FTX as resolution source, but then FTX stopped existing.
- There was a question about wether submarine cables in the Red Sea would be destroyed by a hostile act before a certain date. The cables got damaged, but it seemed to be a (suspicious) accident, with very limited independent media coverage.
- There is a question about wether YouTube would be blocked in a certain country before 2025. It got throttled, to the point where it is unusable in practice, but not technically blocked.
- There is a question trying to forecast LLM progress. How to quantify that? It chose "What is the state of the art score on the Penn Treebank at a certain date?", which was a standard benchmark at the time. But as LLMs evolved, new benchmarks got developed, and although current LLMs probably score much better on the Penn Treebank than a few years ago, nobody reports Penn Treebank score any more. The question ended up being about the popularity of the benchmark rather than LLM progress.
> The piece de resistance was when Europeans laughed when Trump asked them to spend more on defense only to be caught entirely off guard when Ukraine was invaded.

So the piece de resistance was when Trump gave Putin carte blanche to invade Ukraine?

Just to be clear, he’s about to give Putin carte blanche to keep pushing to (eventually) Belgium. Never mind what he’ll do in his next first 100 days to provide carte blanche into Taiwan.

The man has the tactical savvy and realpolitik of a toaster.

You can just try any link in incognito mode to find out that is not true. Spotify is a walled garden
Beware of the full integration though. It deleted the files I had from my CDs and replaced it with the Apple Music version.

Some items now stay greyed out because they don’t have a license. And some versions got replaced (eg, to the remastered ones).

Flatpak fixes this problem. You don't need gamescope unless for stuff like scaling. The only few times you need to fiddle with anything on desktop is changing proton version or adding a launch variable from protondb.com (just like on steamdeck)
The rich country with the worst mobile-phone service
The American greatness project relies on respect for democratic systems & institutions. Schedule F reverts us to a mockery of a system, to hardly better than the Andrew Jackson Spoils system; no one anywhere is going to respect the idea of governance at all if we just throw away our institutions. If we bypass Congress & have various appointed czars running the country. No one is going to respect us if we don't have any respect for ourselves. Squabbling about NATO bills seems ridiculous when the institutions and systems NATO was meant to protect are being canabalized, when the Heritage Foundation finally gets it's long held dream of plutocracy.

The idea that tariffs are making anyone else pay for things is u serious in extreme. China isn't paying for anything, no more so than Mexico paid for the flimsy poorly built border wall. Those costs will be paid by the consumer, or those goods will be sold into other markets, this time around just as last time. Reducing American business's ability to source parts and materials in the process.

America used to stand for somethin, used to have meaning. But there has been a persistent agitating element telling us the worst, saying our cities are overrun by violent anti fascist and other ridiculous fables, and they're using these tales of terror to undo and unmake America. In my view these are the enemy within, and their lack of respect for what we have as a nation is most telling, and will be seen far and wide, and people will think, well, why not go to China for partnerships? All sorts of world partnerships that would never have been considered when America was stable will seem to make more sense when there is such turmoil and undoing at home, when it's just illegotemate Spoils system again.
Evaporation cools the interiorvfor quite a while and the pyroclastic stream is just one trainload of heat and death for maybe half an hour.

Oh my god you made this video? I have sent it to so many people to explain my feelings for it. Thank you so much for saying what I wanted to but so much better!
The joke is not on America, but the complacent European leaders who are actually affected by an aggressive Russia. The fact that the carte blanche is even Trumps to give is the problem in the first place.
Regularly attended the liquidations in Sunnyvale around 2002-2005 after I was laid off from my dot com but the only thing I could make any profit on was docking stations and the associated power adapters since at that time they were specific to each laptop model. I would think the overhead storing furniture is significant. A couple of times I got lucky such as when Casady and Greene closed down and I got a bunch of copies of Conflict Catcher 9 that was still in demand and when Apple closed down a TV studio in Cupertino and I bought the contents of the back storage room that had a bunch of valuable bits and pieces. Unfortunately reality TV was still in its infancy or I would have been a minor star:-)
Nothing built with "usual" materials we have, mostly because of the constant movements and subduction of tectonic plates, as well as volcanism and erosion.

Oh I thought they were talking about Germany. Here reception outside cities is often bad. Compared to when we were in Norway, in the middle of nowhere, 100% 5G.
This is so true. Now I know how to describe the work I'm doing!
Why would the name ‘CockroachDB’ be an issue? Cockroaches are just insects, but the word ‘gimp’ is actually a slur in some cultures (Cambridge dictionary labels the first definitions from both the US and UK as “informal offensive”).

So I think it is worth changing the name in this case. Actually being a slur is a problem, in stark contrast to another recent example, where as far as I can see the reasons around changing Git’s ‘master’ branch name are totally artificial - the word ‘master’ is of course not a slur, and despite claims that it necessarily invokes the idea of slavery, it clearly has a multitude of uses that have nothing to do with slavery, such as ‘master recording’ or ‘masters degree’ so the idea that the word by itself is ‘not inclusive’ is quite baseless in my opinion.

So being a slur is a real problem in a way that being the name of a slightly unpleasant insect (like CockroachDB) or hypothetically (but not really) invoking the idea of slavery really shouldn’t be.
So the point is to have hierarchical tables groups?

Aren’t there Firefox / Chrome extensions that do that?

I wouldn’t mind paying a lifetime fee for a better browser, that also seems to align with how I take notes. It’s the support of various obscure web gotchas and things like in-browser visualizations that worry me. I run into issues of some page not loading properly on Firefox and have to fire up Chrome, I imagine for a brand new browser that’d be the case even more so
Honestly doesn't sum it up very well, given that it doesn't even mention that it's an extension.
