That's only ironic if you actually buy into the propaganda that the Democratic Party is actually leftist, much less extreme leftist/neo-Marxist or whatever the Republican hyperbole du jour is.

Everyone else, including American leftists forced to ally with the Democrats because they're the only game in town, is well aware that the Democrats been moving steadily to the right since Carter.

It didn't help that the only reason anyone voted for Biden to begin with was that he wasn't Trump. Biden's only mandate was to be less evil than the other side and he couldn't even manage the simple, basic task of being against genocide. And then Harris doubled down on it.

Which is really why they lost - not because they're too radically leftist for "normal people" (the implication that no leftists are normal is seen and noted) but because they aren't nearly leftist enough, and so Democrats decided to stay home in droves, or cast futile votes for third party.
i agree. in principle this is totally fine. in reality, highly paid lawyers throw the law around to accomplish whatever their objectives are. if they’re paid by a media company, and the media company’s objective is to reduce “illegal” reproduction of their content, principle is less important than winning.
fn or fqpn should be well understood too given the context.
Well, Vert.x and Spring are maintained by RedHat and Broadcom. Both of those companies measure their profit and loss tied to their broader orchestration and platform sales (Kubernetes). They fund app dev frameworks only to the degree they can drive profitable adoption of their other commercial offerings. Broadcom, in particular, after the VMW acquisition has trimmed their staffing in areas that do not directly impact the Tanzu bottom line. Not all Vert.x and Spring customers need or desire that coupling, and so that poses an interesting dynamic that is different from us.

We are a pure play app dev platform and that gets to the heart of why the business model is different. I'd argue that we are very motivated to make sure that customers are successful with app dev as that is our bottom line where our rivals are financially incentives by infrastructure sales, not app dev outcomes.
They have like 57% of all smartphones (and 100% of the app store) in the USA last I saw. 57% of the market doesn't seem at all limited to just luxury end. Frankly, I can fathom how so many kids even seem to have iPhones given the money involved.

Google didn't have the same issue with confusion because of San Diego Colab that colab.sh will have if they keep their name and get popular. That's because San Diego Colab wasn't nearly as well known as Google Colab is now.

We generate 2d art, 3d models, some other in-world data, and soon animations at our game studio. The huge problems of generating pure pixels without a persistent game state behind it is illustrated well by the recent MinecraftAI craze (where it's a cool demo, but absolutely unplayable for anything other than novelty), and exacerbated on the dev side by missing out on tons of "free" stuff you get from existing engines that already do almost every kind of physics ops for you.

Should Russia’s military really be included among the most powerful in the world? They haven’t been able to defeat Ukraine which is much smaller and weaker. On paper Russia is a dominant military power but in reality their equipment is poorly maintained, their training seems limited, and the leadership full of nepotism or incompetence.

China likely has a much better army, but it’s hard to say without a large scale conflict. Hopefully we won’t find out.
Good point. We wrote this pre-double descent, and a massively overparameterized model would make a nice addition to the tutorial as a baseline. However, if you want a rich predictive distribution, it might still make sense to use a Bayesian NN.

When was the last time you bought a cake from a shop that made you sign an EULA? I don't think many people would visit a bakery that has an "arbitrary cake termination" clause, because most people smell something suspicious when they have to agree to terms before shopping somewhere. Not on the internet, though.
Up until and just before lockdowns started the US was funding a lab in Wuhan, the WIV, which specializes in bat coronaviruses and has had a long history of failure to meet safety standards.

An IDE can highlight non-basic properties in a different colour from basic properties, or underline them or something. That would be difficult for an editor to do as part of normal syntax highlighting.
And then when this project explodes and becomes as well known as Electron is eclipsing Google Colab (I never heard of it until today) then your argument is invalid.

It isn't really a compiler speed issue. There are some environments, mostly BSD to my knowledge, that support installing from sources. However, in my experience with Linux distros, wrangling multiple build tools, etc means that it is rare for

make config; make build; sudo make install

to work without having to sort out dependencies and versioning issues.

Not only that, I would like to see OS install to profile the hardware and then automagically recompile for that specific hardware. As I understand it: Linux probes for hundreds of potential devices only to load perhaps a dozen or so. I don't know how many device drivers are actually integrated into the kernel. Probably far more than is really necessary. But I'm rapidly getting out of my depth here.

Tell HN: Lemon squeezy's Slack channel is shutting down
A product support specialist from lemon squeezy (merchant of record) announced a few days ago (18/11/2024) that their slack channel is shutting down and will no longer be available after 22/11/2024.

Why this is significant:

Their email support is a bit of hit and miss. As a customer, I've had first hand experience of my emails being ignored (to be fair, they have successfully handled some of my other emails too). I've also seen others have the same problem, and sometimes after they share their frustration in the slack channel, their cases would get prioritized and resolved. Much like how complaining on HN is effective sometimes.

Over time, the slack channel has become filled with negativity, since most of it is users complaining about their support emails being ignored. So I can see why shutting down the slack may be good for business in the short term for lemon squeezy. This also likely makes it more difficult for their users to publicly complain and potentially have their cases bumped.

I think it would be helpful to have a public chatroom for lemon squeezy users, so I've created a discord server: https://discord.gg/FtwgmUqGXD with the following purpose.

- have a space where we can help each other troubleshoot problems

- share useful tips and content

- if needed, collectively try to make lemon squeezy hear more urgent issues

Below is the message that was shared in slack by the product support specialist.

The original RFC that led to this feature originally used a special variable to indicate the backing store; that was overwhelmingly disliked, as it was "magic".

Conversely php already has other places where context affects property accesses, and IME it's not the problem you make it out to be.

Bindless is pretty much _the_ most important feature we need in WebGPU. Other stuff can be worked around to varying degrees of success, but lack of bindless makes our state changes extremely frequent, which heavily kills performance with how expensive WebGPU makes changing state. The default texture limits without bindless are also way too small for serious applications - just implementing the glTF PBR spec + extensions will blow past them.

I'm really looking forward to getting bindless later down the road, although I expect it to take quite a while.

By the same token, I'm quite surprised that effort is being put into a compatibility mode, when WebGPU is already too old and limiting for a lot of people, and when WebGL(2) is going to have to be maintained by browsers anyways.
> too much magic

The backing value is effectively private to everything but its own get/set methods, that seems fairly straightforward to me.

Respectfully, that sounds like a way to rationalize not having looked at the market in depth. They’ve had competition in that space since the beginning – both other tech companies and actual fashion companies tried to make premium music players, phones, watches, etc. even before they entered those markets so at most you could say that they’ve out-competed them.

However, even that doesn’t fit what we see. Their pricing isn’t luxury - compare Google or Samsung’s flagship phones and it’s basically equal, nothing remotely like the significant cost differential we see between normal and luxury clothes or other personal goods, and that’s before you factor in the lead they have on features like performance or security. Buying a Mercedes costs multiple times more and won’t get you to work faster but buying an iPhone will load every web page faster than an Android phone at the same price point, for example.
Ok spent way too much time fiddling with the options and testing out different sort algorithms. It’s fun to start with one sort and then halfway through switch to one that is very different and see if it helps or hurts the performance. Almost makes me want to break out the old Algorithms and Data structures book to remind myself of which one to use when you know the data could already be half sorted vs when you know the data is going to be completely random.

Bookmarked but guessing I will never use it again but who knows if I ever need to do another leet code test this would be a good resource for sorting. This could be useful for those of you that are still in college to have one of those aha moments when it comes to the sorting algorithms you are learning about. If you are going to look at the code, go to src -> lib -> sort-algorithms to see how they are implemented. Note the asterisk after the function* keyword which signifies a generator function.

Yeah I think there's large regional differences.

Going off lists like this - https://www.caranddriver.com/news/g43553191/bestselling-cars...

While theres some very high volume truck models, which in fact take up the 2 highest sales by model slots, overall if you add up the far larger number of sedan/crossover/suvs you get to ~2x the overall sales.

I suppose one can argue about how you categorize big SUVs like say the Explorer and Grand Cherokee.. overall I think the numbers still hold.

Completely agree there's still more big trucks on the road than there should be, but '3,000lbs of payload capacity and a 6ft+ bed and wheel spacers and an extra lift kit' is a very specific demographic, and they were never going to be talked into a Prius.

You might consider doing some body fat vs muscle ratio comparison tests. There are 3 methods that give pretty good results. DEXA, Bod Pod & Hydrostatic weighing. I never investigated it much, but I had a buddy who tried all three & felt hydrostatic was the best and most affordable.

The underlying premise of personal computing is to serve one user in one context.

The situation is very heterogeneous: not all Israelis are okay with what their government does, and are increasingly outspoken against it.

Not all Israelis are Jewish: note also that substantial numbers of Israelis are of Arab background, some with relatives (or fellow Muslims) in Palestine. Most of non-Jewish Israelis oppose the military measures. (But there are even a few that are upset that they cannot serve in the IDF because Arab Israeli citizens are not trusted enough to serve in Israel's military - in violation of equal treatment of cizitens.)

Not all Jews are in favor of Israels military action: in particular among the most religious people, there is a division between those disgusted by Israel's own military action (c.f. Rabbi David Weiss at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FNtMV2i8-8 ) and those right-wingers that even volunteer to become settlers in areas cleared by bulldozers from Palestinian homes in violation of the law (UN resolution 2334, Fourth Geneva Convention).

What is clear and undisputable is the power asymmetry between Israel and Palestine.
That's a fair ask, that post was not one of my better moments. As much as I dislike the rhetorical tactic wielded with "everyone who doesn't agree with me is simply confused", a one-sentence tell off does nothing to counter it, and just makes me look like a jerk. Which I was.

Solid idea, and best of luck.

If I could make one recommendation: hire a UX/UI designer ASAP. The less technical the audience, the more intuitive and easy to navigate the UI needs to be.

Our company focuses on home service businesses and they get roadblocked super easily. I think you'll be glad you did it earlier rather than later. Otherwise, the ux debt will pile up and it will be quite a project a year down the line.
I find that just stopping to think helps a lot. People rarely make time for thinking things through. You can’t organise everything within the 10 minutes of peace you get in the shower.

I will often go for a walk or sit in a cafe with a sheet of paper and just think about the problem. I try to define the problem properly before I even start thinking about solutions.

For trickier problems, you just need time. I go on a long bike ride and let ideas simmer until they break down into something simpler and more manageable. I get my best work done after my weeks-long hikes and rides.

Above all, know thyself. Having some awareness of your own biases and irrationality helps you correct the course. Knowing what you like, where you tend to get stuck and what you suck at helps a lot.
Yes exactly ... This is a cloud of junk that stops anything getting out....
I once saw a mind blowing series of slides from a Dutch transport engineer at a conference, showing the succession of steps taken over the years on a single country lane to reduce the chance of collisions to essentially zero.

It started as a one-lane-each-way road like we all know.

Later ome space was shaved off the sides for bike lanes.

Later the lanes were repainted (without being moved) to appear much narrower. Drivers are more careful when they find it difficult to successfully stay within the paint.

Later (mind blowing part), the one-lane-each-way was repainted as a single narrow lane shared by both directions. So the only supported line of travel guaranteed a head-on collision. This causes drivers to drive very carefully...
