Have you done anything noteworthy? If not, like if you're fresh out of school in your early twenties, then your best option for immediate capital is a program like YC. Or if bootstrapping is an option, do that until you have metrics people can't say no to. Your resume doesn't matter at $1m ARR or 10 million MAU or whatever, only how fast you got there. Otherwise, maybe don't reach out to partners directly. Go downmarket to principals or investors or associates. Win them over and they'll be your champions to the partners.

If you've been out in the world for a while and accomplished things, then you can absolutely reach out cold. Warm is better, but cold will work. If you've accomplished big things you'll have no problem getting to partners directly, otherwise you still might need to aim a little lower, depending on the firm and partner. (Accomplishing things could be building a business or doing significant research; accomplishing big things could be building multiple nine-figure businesses or being one of the co-authors on "Attention Is All You Need". You can do these things while still being relatively "nobody".)

This is general advice, of course, so take it modulo the space you're in. When the world's going nuts for $TREND and you're dealing $TREND, anything can happen.

Rust advocates tend to turn stats like this into “40% of all security issues are memory safety”, which sounds very similar but is false.
Perhaps we support the ban because we saw first hand the damage it can cause to others and ourselves.

I would have supported a ban when I was in highschool. I think a lot of teenagers would have.

Also I don't understand how a ban is punishing the victim anymore than banning drugs from high-schools is punishing any teenagers.

You aren't missing anything. I tried to find the FDA's press release, including to what the article links to when they're supposedly summarizing what the "FDA alert" says. The linked website is just a general list of FDA alerts, and doesn't list kirkland butter at all.

The same link you posted (FDA event listing) is the only thing I can find directly from the FDA on it, and they don't say "throw out the butter". They just say they're issuing a recall due to mislabeled product, that's it.
It (Leuven) has always been a Dutch speaking town. Well, the majority of the population that is. The administration (city, university) started using French at some point (19th century - mid 20th century).
Let’s say, you’re writing a web application. In most programming language you’d be using libraries or rely on a framework. With Lisp macros, you can program the archetype of a web application. And then use a simpler language to describe you application. Think of it as programmable snippets. Something like Ultisnips [0], but inherent to the language.

Think how much common code can exist in a software but cannot be refactored to a functions because it will have too many variables. Or the multiple problems with classes tree and overloading. Macros let you solve that.

Oftentimes "ingredients" will be an incredibly long list. As someone that needs to pay attention to ingredients on food for a severe tree nut allergy, it's so so so much easier to quickly parse a two-item "contains" section than a 40 item "ingredients" section.

I've made mistakes on food that has _just_ "ingredients", missing entries while scanning at the grocery store.

Unfortunately, "contains" isn't required, and its location isn't always obvious. imo it should flatly be always required and always in a standardized layout/location (e.g. in a clear to read box).
Hiring professional chefs is actually a great parallel. "Chop an onion" or "make a french omelette" are basic tests that even the most experienced chefs being hired for top positions will have to go through.

"But this isn't relevant to my job, a subordinate will always do this kind of stuff."

"We are a fine dining dinner restaurant, I'll never need to make an omelette."

Doesn't matter, make a damn omelette. If you can't, you aren't suited to be a head chef, or any other kind of chef.

And I expect that the proliferation of things that are called "milk" that are not dairy milk is part of the reason things are labeled "CONTAINS: Milk" when they contain dairy milk (as milk does), and "CONTAINS: Nuts" when they contain almonds (as almond "milk" does), and so on.

A lot of aggregation, pivot and join logic, like:

df = duckdb.query("from tbl1 join tbl2 using (id) where id is not null ").pl()

The .pl() is a Arrow-based conversation from DuckDB to Polars. It's in-memory and I believe zero-copy, so it happens almost instantaneously.

I go back and forth between DuckDB and Polars functions in the same scope because it's so cheap to convert between the two.
As far as I can tell the FDA didn't make that recommendation for this. It's just what they recommend for all recalls:

https://www.foodsafety.gov/recalls-and-outbreaks

If the product details in the recall notice match the details on the food product you have at home, do not open or consume the product. Instead, do one of the following: + Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund. + Dispose of the product following the instructions provided in the recall notice to make sure no one will consume it.

I haven't been able to find a source for the FDA actually making any kind of statement on this recall at all.
Does anyone have a good heuristic for when a dataframe library is a good tool choice? I work on a team that has a lot of data scientists and a few engineers (including myself) and I often see the data scientists using dataframes when simple python classes would be much more appropriate so that you have a better sense of the object you're working with. I'm been having a hard time getting this idea across to people though.
For example of why it's not always so easy - Vanilla ice cream is being sold in the UK with 0 vanilla, 0 milk and 0 cream. No minimum milkfat requirements - they can use any fat they want.

Weirdly, I do know this word and I learned it exactly two days ago because I wanted to know the technical difference between Hibernation and Sleep in Windows 11.

So I typed in "hibern..." to Kagi and it suggested "hibernation vs brumation". I got sniped because I'd never seen the word before. So yep, I did know. And probably would have forgotten by next week if I didn't see your comment! But now I'll remember forever, thank you.

A packaging mistake for a single truckload of butter is now a signal of something "fucking wrong" with a company who otherwise has a pretty stellar track record of consumer protection? A packaging mistake that likely happens many times over by lesser brands and products but is never caught because they don't have the same amount of exposure and customer base as Costco?

The recall makes sense for stuff still on the shelves. It's a bit silly, but rules are rules. Pull it and stuff it in different packaging, or pay a crew of a couple folks in each store to pull it out of the boxes and donate to a local food kitchen.

The FDA telling people at home to throw it away - after they are made aware of the issue in the first place or they wouldn't have known to be told to throw it away - is utter ridiculousness and the government workers here should absolutely know better. They are undermining their authority and don't even realize it.

This will be used as a very effective tool against the institution in the future. It was a stupid tone-deaf call. They could have simply worked with Costco and put out a generalized notice to the public to be aware of the situation. Nuance matters.

This is an unnecessary own-goal by a government agency that doesn't need such things at the moment. It has done more damage to public health than it will ever have hoped to gain - which would be correctly estimated at zero.
Africa is also one of the sunniest places around. With both solar and battery capacity still rapidly falling in price, and infrastructure generally being problematic in many African nations, it seems likely enough that they'll skip past to off-grid / micro-grid power.

1. Don't look for advertised jobs. Phone a place you want to work, find out who their hiring manager or whatever is, physically drop in a resume and cover letter addressed to that person.

2. Do a first aid course if you haven't done one. Out of two otherwise equal candidates, a first aid cert is a nice tie-breaker. Or a "how to use a fire extinguisher" course.

3. Go lateral. It's easier to get a job when you have a job. I found work as a medical receptionist/IT guy. Now they have a wiki, dynamic PDF forms, better typography, Open Office, spreadsheets for time-sheets, text expanding software, and on-the-ground tech support for paper jams, etc.

> One thing I learned is that you should lean towards letting non-technical people choose their own tools like why we largely let developers choose their own tools.

IMHO: I think a more sustainable variant of this (for your own sanity) might be to ask them which tool(s) they like and then take some time to understand WHY. But then instead of just letting them use those directly, you would either vet them first yourself or else find a similar one to those that can satisfy their needs (as an editor) AND yours (as a dev).

If I let every client/friend/family member who came to me for this sort of advice just pick their own tools, I'd end up with a bunch of Word docs and print-to-PDFs with embedded copied & pasted crap from five other tools and no easy way to clean and publish them or back them up and version control them for diffing and rollbacks, etc.

I guess the dev version of this would be like letting every individual dev set up their own production deploys however they like, even if it's just some rando FTP client, instead of having some sort of orderly CI/CD or at least git-based process.

If it's just you and your buddy and you don't mind taking the time to clean up their docs every time there's a new blog post... that's fine, I guess. But it can quickly get pretty overwhelming if you have more than a single user/tool to support, or you just publish updates frequently. In that case, having a nice WYSIWYG for them that's good enough, but can also generate clean structured output for you (something like Markdown or an API, as opposed to RTF, Word XML, HTML, etc.) can make life MUCH easier for you and your frontend. And anyone that comes after you. Otherwise, some unexpected input certainly can and usually will crash your frontend... it's just a matter of time.

You can also build your own system off something like https://quilljs.com/, https://prosemirror.net/, or https://www.slatejs.org/examples/richtext to customize it to their needs while still getting clean enough input.
No.

Your rule explodes into "Label every vaguely-relevant allergen your food does not contain.". Not only is that a rule that's inevitably going to miss something in the long run, it's WAY more complicated than the "Label the allergens your food does contain." rule.
It does, but battery prices have also been falling precipitously.
Then how about alternatives like Lactaid? Animal-free dairy milk?

As someone else said, is what makes people happy here making the regulations more complex with special cases - when someone not knowing those special cases could potentially kill them?
That story reminds me of the Stockdale Paradox:

https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/Stockdale-Concept.html

The comment is in response to this:

"I don’t think the government should be involved with allergen labeling."

Don't waste my time with non-sequiturs.
So I took measurments - it's not as great as memory served.

In order to get accurate timestamps, processing midi IN takes priority over OUT.

So OUT can vary in latency between 5ms and 60ms. An unfortunate amount.

Improvements can be made here. I'd recommend a splitter if you need low latency.
HN is a very strange beast. I do rather enjoy it, though.
Yes. There are many drinks that are labeled "milk" that don't contain milk proteins, but we now have "animal-free dairy milk", which does. I can absolutely see someone being confused as to whether a given product labeled as milk will trigger their allergies:

https://perfectday.com/blog/why-animal-free-dairy-still-cont...

The dairy industry has always fought the FDA on this, arguing that anything besides milk from a cow should not be allowed to be labeled as milk:

https://agfundernews.com/dairy-farmers-urge-fda-to-crack-dow...

https://www.nmpf.org/on-almonds-dont-lactate-anniversary-dai...

The matrix is big and will only continue to grow: lactose-free milk, animal-free dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, strawberry milk, etc. Multiply that across milk-derived product analogues like butter and ice-cream and it becomes even more confusing. The meaning on the allergy label is quite specific!
> The FDA telling people at home to throw it away...

Are they?

I was unable to find any evidence of this: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42153441>. If you can find an official statement from the FDA that recommends (or orders) folks at home to dispose of the recalled food, I'd appreciate it.
Providing different amplification to messages based on their political viewpoint is effectively censorship.
Yes, and there is already a list of ingredients that should have everything, not just the common allergens.

Regulations and liability don't care about common sense. In fact, they supersede common sense.

That's the problem, and why more than half the country voted to want it solved.
It's interesting to see the arm building issues still mentioned. I've been patching many packages in nixpkgs for apple silicon, and I can remember only one which had any kind of arm-related problem rather than darwin-specific. Snap/appimage packages have their issues of maintainers needing to spend the extra time. But sources? Not in my experience - I'd be interested to hear some examples.

I'm not asking you to make any epistemologically unsound leaps, I'm not making an argument. tThis is just my impression. In general, if you're going to rely only on numeric metrics, then you'll be giving up a lot of other helpful information.

You need to use non-numeric information to tell you if "number of posts" should be more meaningful than a HackerNews stranger saying "these are the vibes I get, anecdotally." Numbers are pretty appealing because we have a lot of simple and consistent tools for working with them, but we also know the number of posts on Threads are artificially gamed, because Instagram and Facebook crosspost to Threads by default for anyone who has an account.

But it's still my guess. English is my only fluent language and I don't know even 1000 people. Threads could be wildly popular and I could be blissfully unaware. Again, I'm not asking you to make any epistemologically unsound leaps.
I don't disagree. The only practical strategy now is that if you know the text/user is Japanese, use a specifically Japanese font (Windows and MacOS have a few built in options), not just one that has the CJK codepoints.
FWIW, you (and I) did not find a press release, because they appear to have not made one. In the recall report, we see this:

"Press Release Not Issued For This Recall"

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one failing to dig up this "Throw all affected products in the trash!" demand.

This is exactly why Trump won. We’ve lost touch with common sense: babies can’t have a gender listed on their charts anymore (causing confusion for doctors and nurses), but butter needs a warning label to say it contains milk. And yet, everyone tells me this is perfectly normal.
I believe I saw cloud use instructions on their site.
TFA lists it as a quote. If the author made it up without taking that statement from the FDA that would be on the author. It's not very ambiguous.

> The FDA has shared specific steps to help consumers handle this recall safely. First, check the product codes on your butter containers and compare them to the codes in the recall notice. If you have one of the recalled batches, the FDA advises not to eat it under any circumstances. Instead, throw it out to avoid any health risks. For any questions or possible refunds, reach out to Costco through their customer service team.

Edit: It is certainly curious that this looks like boilerplate language. I do wonder if it originates from an FDA spokesperson, or if the author copy/pasted a previous press release from Costco? Another article[0] explicitly states the FDA did not make any recommendations to consumers, but mentions the quoted statement and sourced it from foodsafety.gov as a general recommendation for "recalled products".

Looking like the author completely made up the quote out of whole cloth by copy/pasting boilerplate generalized language while implying it was a directly related to the issue at hand. Nice catch!

[0]https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/2024/11/13/costco-b...

Edit 2: Can't reply directly due to ratelimiting - but yes, you are absolutely correct that the FDA has not urged anyone, or even explicitly recommended it be thrown away. The above was my independent sleuthing before seeing your followup. Others did far better.

I don't share the opinion this was "lazy telephone" by a reporter though - this was outright deliberate making things up to generate a narrative. Either there was a phone call/e-mail by a FDA rep these articles are quoting, or they are simply trying to generate outrage on purpose. There is no game of lazy telephone that can explain word choices such as "FDA urges" and the like to appear out of whole cloth.
> I would be very surprised if they didn't have most of those things on hand

The thing with building stuff is that it feels like you are always missing something. Like, you have all sizes of screws, including some that look like they come from an alien spaceship, but not the one you need, so here goes another box of 100 for the 10 of them you will use in your lifetime.

> an excuse to buy more tools

It used to be the case for me. Not anymore for the simple reason that I live in an appartement and don't have a dedicated workshop and I feel like I am drowning in parts and tools. The worst part is that I actually may need all of them, but I don't know which one. It turns out that I finally used the turbo-encabulator that has been sitting on shelf for 15 years, and of course, I had to buy new marzlevane grease, as I didn't want to risk side fumbling.

And yes, I have that hobby, and I too like to pretend that I built that thing for dirt cheap, but the reality is that it cost me a lot more than I would have paid otherwise, that's the cost of having a hobby.

3D printing could be an exception though. I have printed plenty of small parts for essentially nothing (except time) that are almost impossible to find at a reasonable price. Also great for gifts, as you can make objects that are personalized and useful, enough to be appreciated, but cheaply and with limited (but non-zero) effort. I hesitated a long time before getting a 3D printer, because it is an investment and I couldn't think of many use cases at the time that didn't involve adding more clutter to my clutter, but it turned out I probably use it more than anything else.
Interesting. As I understand it, shifting the red curve to shorter wavelengths, even by a seemingly small amount, would improve visibility. And something I've learned is that red vision varies by a fair amount from person to person.
> Rust advocates tend to turn stats like this into “40% of all security issues are memory safety”, which sounds very similar but is false.

You're right that it's false. Historically it's been a much more damning 70% of vulnerabilities that were rooted in memory-unsafety.

According to the Google Security Blog, in a post linked to from the OP:

We’ll also share updated data on how the percentage of memory safety vulnerabilities in Android dropped from 76% to 24% over 6 years as development shifted to memory safe languages. [...] The percent of vulnerabilities caused by memory safety issues continues to correlate closely with the development language that’s used for new code. Memory safety issues, which accounted for 76% of Android vulnerabilities in 2019, and are currently 24% in 2024, well below the 70% industry norm, and continuing to drop.

That's I'd the company you're at will let you take the time to "do it right". Usually that's not the case. They want features yesterday. You try and fix something properly by going down to the correct layer? "You shouldn't be doing that."
