I said we all pay via general taxation, so yes you me everyone pays for roads if we use them or not. Vehicle users also pay in addition to general taxes the direct taxes for their usage in terms of road tax and fuel duties (N.b. that road usage fees per mile are on the cards for EVs). Cyclists pay none of these (unless they also own a car)

If there is a huge government subsidy for something, you'd be a fool to ignore it

I am merely explaining that there are more sublime and direct ways of querying the univere, but that is beyond our current understanding of the depths science could be developed to explain.

At some point in a certain kind of seeking, the proof is accepted and no more is needed. That someone calls it a hypothesis is akin to a flat-Earther opining that my understanding of the solar system is a theory.

And, yeah, flat-Earthers are also very authoritative in their manner.
I think the GP intended to congratulate the Palestinians for their digged resilience in pursuing this, despite the extraordinary opposition they faced. I think they were using this language specifically to suggest how hard the fight was, not to imply that it was a bad thing.

Honestly the entire premise of a country defending itself from attack being required to feed those attacking them is absurd. Has it ever happened in world history to anyone that's not Israel? Ukraine certainly isn't expected to feed Russia...

Yes. Read the posts
And the article isn't even about the proliferation of attributes cookies have, that browsers honor, and in some cases are just mandatory. I was trying to explain SameSite to a coworker, and scrolled down a bit... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies#co... wait, cookie prefixes? What the heck are those? The draft appears to date to 2016, but I've been trying to write secure cookie code for longer than that, hadn't heard of it until recently, and I can't really find when they went in to browsers (because there's a lot more drafts than there are implemented drafts and the date doesn't mean much necessarily), replies explaining that welcome.

Seems like every time I look at cookies they've grown a new wrinkle. They're just a nightmare to keep up with.
Diaz is awesome. For me, he manages to strike just the right balance between making the topic interesting in a historical/human-interest sense and including enough technical detail to cultivate actual insight. Both his Franck-Hertz and Stern-Gerlach videos are the best I've run across on YouTube (and I see the latter has a part 2 now, so that'll be next on my watchlist.)

Hugely underrated YouTuber.
You will continually get better at not just writing the right code, but at interpreting requirements into the right code. You will learn the edges and corners where bugs will hide. And sometimes you'll write them anyways, because that's life. You'll fix it in the future.

In this trade, a lot of orgs put a lot of emphasis on "sprints" and "deliverables", but you really have to look at software development as a continuum. Optimizations and bug fixes are a part of this continuum, and any good team has space for these things in planning.

Not all teams recognize this, however, and I would recommend discussing with the other engineers on your team how you can work together to advocate for this. No sprint can be 100% features. Software requires upkeep. Bugs are a natural part of this.
Unfortunately we still have work to do there. We have dabbled in a separate map style, but it's really difficult to get any roadnames to show up when you start increasing font sizes in map styles. It's a sort of pick-your-poison - big maps where you can see the roads with almost no road names, or maps with smaller details with road names. The app itself should mostly scale well with increased system font sizes, but we are still carving out a couple of webviews in the app which have funky behavior. I do like to joke that with our average staff age passing 40 in the next year or two, we'll solve all readability issues....
I love this so much, thanks for sharing. I have my own minimum effective dose protocols that I use when life is kicking me in the face but I am going to try these on for size during the coming holiday season.
this was the old internet.

as it is seen in 2024: "the net interprets economic profit as imperative, and routes toward it." next-hops will frequently be FAANG, some faceless CDN, or the cloudflare protection grotto.

Cost for the route has been supplanted in favour of cost for the shareholder.

I have done exactly this. I stack semaglutide with ~ 1 ml testosterone and .35 ml of anavar weekly. I’ve transitioned out of regularly competing in powerlifting to running and yoga everyday. 47lbs down in 5 months and havent felt this good since college.
Seems like you're saying the same thing, just using "social contract" differently. I think they use social contract not to mean binding, but to highlight the fact that Hyrums Law must be taken in the social context of the project. In the case of large SW company, the social contract would be to not break services, even when folks are misusing an API. And for a popular open source project, it would mean not breaking a widely used behavior, even if it isn't specified or officially supported. Determining the social contract seems to be precisely what you describe as "not a social contract".

If you are talking very specifically about a ketogenic diet, then fruits actually do have too many carbs to maintain ketosis. In that case, it isn't some irrational fear, but reality.

Re fiber, A significant portion of the population (maybe a majority) doesn't need much fiber to use the bathroom. It seems like this need is a common situation that people assume is a universal truth. Further, fiber can lead to constipation for many people.
Nest has some of it. It doesn't have "make it colder/warmer for 2 hours". It's self-learning features are weird in my opinion.

I think every smart thermostat is too focused on a temperature value (I know it's counter-intuitive):

- Humans don't experience temperature, only change in temperature

- Rate of temperature change depends on many factors, and delta between body and air temperature is just one of them

While I like 72 F, I'd rather have 73 or even 74 with A/C running less per hour. I often have to wear a jacket at home while A/C is working because while it's running it feels much colder than it is[1].

[1]: yeah yeah, air blowing out of A/C vents is colder than ambient, that's kinda the point.
Absolutely not. NASA can dream big things, then give it to SpaceX to execute. They have proved to be capable of delivering on time and on budget. Private industry can properly motivate their engineers, drive costs down and are motivated to build upon technology for new innovations.

Technology is much better utilized in private hands and the entire history of silicon valley is a testament to this. It all started out from government research money.

> I assume space is more than just a commercial market segment to you?

Capitalism has been the greatest force for technological development in history. Technological development by government bodies is a dead end, just like the NASA apollo program. If government backed technological development worked, the soviet union would have won the cold war.

I and anyone from a former communist country is absolutely appalled by the way of thinking of so many in this thread and in general by the left in the US.
Well, a determined individual could make a few grams a year, but they'd likely be told to stop early on by one of those few nations.
Well yes if it's a web app I agree.

We don't do native mobile apps complex data processing etc. But it's quite straightforward to connect the app to existing backends deployed anywhere.

Cookie header parsing is a shitshow. The "standards" don't represent what actually exists in the wild, each back-end server and/or library and/or framework accepts something different, and browsers do something else yet.

If you are in complete control of front-end and back-end it's not a big problem, but as soon as you have to get different stuff to interoperate it gets very stupid very fast.
A big part of this is QA flagging the bugs. Humans make mistakes, and testing is there to catch them. The goal is not to ship the bugs to the customer, not to never make mistakes.

This does not mean that there is nothing you can do to prevent bugs, but try to let go of the idea that bugs should never reach QA. That's what they're there for, and if you add another layer of QA between your work and them, you've basically doubled the work done without improving anything that gets shipped to the customer. And all for the sake of your ego to never have a sprint go wrong.
> no `let`. only `var`. compiler can optimize further.

This is not an "additional feature" so much as removing a feature. One reason a programmer might declare something to be a constant is to prevent the symbol from being rebound. You're right that one consequence of using `let` instead of `var` is that the compiler can more aggressively optimize constants, but the primary consequence is to capture and enforce the programmer's intent that the binding be immutable.
I agree, so long as the people who flagged a given submission or post should also be displayed, for the same reason of transparency. Also the items a user flags should be included in their profile, for the same reason of transparency.

In the interest of full disclosure and the same transparency, I say this as someone who has had such a flag-bombed submission saved, an NPR report about one of the first systemic uses of gun-armed, AI-powered flying drones to mass-shoot people (not to mention that location targeting for the shootings is largely AI-driven as well). I struggle to think of a good reason to flag that as off-topic for Hacker News:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42199969
In a sane world, there would be horror and condemnation that our politicians allowed a genocidal dictator to escalate to this level: launching an ICBM on a civilian target, against a country resisting his invasion.

The US and European policy of appeasement and non-escalation does not work. We've had enough precedents to know better. What's going on with our leaders?
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTIM, mysql_real_es ape2, parse_str, etc.
Now that such a model exists, I think we can expect lobbying for making this mandatory. For the children...

Once adopted this will lead to an increase in randomly locked out accounts due to model false positives, because looking for something very rare will lead to most items flagged being false positives (Bayes statistics etc.).

This blog had a few interesting articles on the limitations of these technologies

While this is comparing the currently used hash based approaches a classification model will have similar problems.
I agree that the scientific method is the best approach towards finding objective truth (which is of course precisely what it is designed to do). The problem is placing objective truth above all other truths. It annihilates subjectivity, which is possibly the most crucial element of being human. And of course formal science has limitations on the truths that it can reveal in its own system (the uncertainty principle) and on a practical level every known scientific theory, no matter how successful, breaks down at some level (see quantum gravity).

All of which is to say that my stance is: embrace science but accept its limitations.
Neither Israel nor the de-facto government of Gaza they are fighting ever accepted the authority of the ICC; neither has signed the Rome Treaty.

The ICC authority is being derived from the Palestinian Authority applying for membership and the Court deciding earlier in a 2-1 decision that Palestine is a state, the PA is the legitimate government of Palestine, and that Gaza is territory under its jurisdiction.
On top of that wouldn't even liposuction already reduce heart muscle over time because of the lower amount of vasculature extent afterwards? Less volume to need to pump through and less metabolic and oxygen demand.

There is significant heart remodeling after even things like major amputations because of the changing demands on the heart.
> these top unis have the money and the capability to double their undergrad student size; they have no problem attracting top talent as far as professors are concerned

Professors are not the only bottleneck that the administration of MIT and company would be worried about. With more undergrads and professors comes more administration overhead, a need for more facilities (including land for those facilities that may not be contiguous with the rest of campus, which creates additional overhead of its own), and housing for the students (with the impact on the surrounding neighborhoods that that entails).

Additionally, allowing your school to grow from 8000 to 30000 undergrads dramatically changes the character of the school in ways that can't just be brushed off as "elitist".

And again: regardless of the reasons they don't want to change, I don't see any reason why we should expect any given school to so dramatically transform itself just because college became the default path for the middle class.
If it was delivering RESULTS, articles like this would focus on those.

Instead we get a FOMO / bandwagon pitch based on handwaving and "all the other kids are doing it".
I have so wanted such resources for years. I have found some and should make a list.

The first time the difference between understanding some math, and understanding what the math meant, was after high school Trig. The moment I started manually programming graphics from scratch, the circle as a series of dots, trigonometry transformed in my mind. I can't even say what the difference was - the math was exactly the same - but some larger area of my brain suddenly connected with all the concepts I had already learned.

While ordering the "Mathematica: A Secret World of Intuition and Curiosity" I came across these books, which looked very promising in the "learning formal math by expanding intuition" theme, so I bought them too:

Field Theory For The Non-Physicist, by Ville Hirvonen [0]

Lagrangian Mechanics For The Non-Physicist, by Ville Hirvonen [1]

The Gravity of Math: How Geometry Rules the Universe, by Steve Nadis, Shing-Tung Yau [2]

[2] https://www.amazon.com/dp/1541604296

[3] https://www.amazon.com/dp/0226821102

Excited to read each (based on their synopses & ratings), and if I will get compounding fluency across both math and physics between all five books.
Artemis has not produced anything of value, literally:

* The SLS is a rehash of Space Shuttle components with no new technology. Arguably, it's a regression since we will be using reusable SSMEs as disposables.

* Orion serves no valuable purpose in the wake of Crew Dragon and, indeed, even Starliner.

* The entire program has achieved nothing outside of one or two test launches depending on how you count.

Any other use of this money would produce more value, because any value is bigger than zero.
Stoked to see Superflex here! I’m one of the co-founders, and we built this to make front-end dev faster and less tedious.

If you’re tired of manual UI coding or have ideas to improve tools like this, we’d love your feedback. Also, open to contributors—help us make it even better!
Nearly all of this is provided by my (fairly standard European) Thermostat from Junkers, where you can define a "warm" and "cold" temperature-setting, and then set timeframes to switch between those settings for each weekday (individual or ranges like Mon-Fri).

Exception is the "Make it a bit warmer for 2 hours" button (which leaves alot of room for interpretation and error, i.e. what is "warmer", should the 2h start while still heating up, WILL it even heat up within 2 hours,...), but that is more or less achieved by just rotating the dial, as whatever is set will be overwritten when entering a new timeframe...

Nothing fancy in there, no Wi-Fi or anything, just a display, a dial and a few buttons under a lid.

I configured this once, and all I do is move a switch from "automatic" to "permanently cold" in summer to stop it from switching to heating
"Wouldn't a working approach be to just create a really low resolution 3D world in the traditional "3D game world" sense to get the spatial consistency. Then this crude map with attributes is fed into frame generation to create the resulting world?"

That's Minecraft. It does work. And when you turn around, then turn back to where you were facing, you don't feel like you're in a fever dream, because the landscape hasn't completely shifted.

The tech is neat and I'm sure worth publishing. The rhetoric accompanying it is terribly overblown. Of course that's as likely to be their University PR department as the authors.
I was on jersey island when they lost 3 out of 4 cables. Didn’t notice a thing.

That is correct. If you install the `electrobun` package via bun or npm, you get a pile of arm64 binaries. These are big enough to ship a web-browser (Electron) so that would explain why they're binaries in the first place.

I am interested in arguing about real things.

It is real, that russia made nuclear threats and expresses increasing frustration that their threats get ignored.

It is also real, that many people, also here, say the threats are completely empty.

And I am sceptical about that claim.

No idea how your gasoline river fits in that reality.
The article mentions Rust's approach, but note that (unlike the other mentioned languages) Rust doesn't ship any cookie handling facilities in the standard library, so it's actually looking at the behavior of the third-party "cookie" crate (which includes the option to percent-encode as Ruby does): https://docs.rs/cookie/0.18.1/cookie/
Ask HN: Looking for beta testers for AI Dating Assistant
Hey hackers,

Last week I made the same request and many signed up. We improved a lot due to it. Thanks! I am here again with the same ask.

I’ve been working on an AI-powered dating assistant designed to help improve profiles, suggest messages that get replies, and provide guidance in real-time, all based on insights from 30k+ real dating interactions. The goal? To help people level up their dating experience.

We’re excited to share an early-access beta test where you can try out some core features directly.

Try it here: https://bit.ly/beta_hn_vip_invite

I’m around to answer questions, get your feedback, and discuss ideas for improvement. Looking forward to building something great together!

As a thank-you, you'll receive 3 months of free access and special status and be among the first to try it out.
Procedurally generated terrain is whatever it wants to be. It isn't necessary for it to be fractal in any particular sense. Or even arguably all that useful, at least at the present time.
I'm most excited for property hooks. Having getters and setters as part of the language syntax was something I dearly missed from my C# days, nearly two decades ago.

In my projects I sometimes emulate getters and setters using `__get()` and `__set()` but that's heavy-handed and requires lots of PHPDoc annotation for type checking. Property hooks look awesome!
The curious thing is that I have never met two people whose personalities were exactly alike.
yes, and in this case, the relevant guns are those of the ICC and Israel.

The court has no army or power, while Israel does, so US guns are already irrelevant. Israel doesnt need US military protection form the ICC any more than it needs US protection from random critics.
The soil might have actually been too rich for carrots. In my experience with too much nitrogen grow great tops but the root doesn't form properly.
(Odd to me that I'm getting downvoted for suggesting the US support for Israel has to do with US interests, and providing sources going into detail on that, and people are getting upvoted for saying it's because Jews have a lot of influence! It's really not mostly because Jews have a lot of influence.)

> But the wood chips bring another problem which is pH levels that may go too low.

Is this something you've measured? I add a lot of wood chips and conifer needles and it's not a problem; the compost ends up between 6 and 7.5 pH (neutral is 7). I also liberally spread woodchips on the paths between the beds and things are fine.

The effects of wood mulch on plants and composts are well understood:

If want to change the pH of your soil you need something stronger, like sulphur or lime.
