You only have 20 options, but making that many distinctive options is not exactly a stretch. It's not like every single set of options is its own code path, most options represents a small deviation at one particular part of the code. Most of the options aren't mutually exclusive either, only a few combinations are illegal.

Imagine a simple shipping system for example. The package might be routed via truck, boat, plane, pipeline, foot, etc... Probably even a combination of those options. The package might be low, medium, or high priority, although high priority packages are not allowed to be delivered by boat. The package might be small, large, or liquid, but liquids can't be delivered by foot. There are 195 different countries with even more regulatory regimes to consider, some of which may have different customs requirements based on mode of transport. Now imagine a problem that is actually complicated.

The idea of encoding all of this business logic into the datatype is a road to madness IMHO. Especially if the rules can change on you and require you to rework your datatypes to match. On the small scale this makes a lot of sense and is good advice, but strict adherence is impractical.
So, after reading the Github[1] comments, Redis needs a rust client library. It's hilarious to watch the legal and PM figure this out. No strategy. Just trying to solve "enterprise" needs because I'm sure someone asked for a rust client they'd pay over the moon for.

You don't need coroutines or async or anything complicated to model monads, just functions and data structures. Search for "c++ monads" and you'll find a ton of examples.

I have a copy of the Outline of History, now I will look for the Librivox recording. In his Autobiography he discusses Florence Deeks' copyright challenge. He was rather frustrated by the challenge. Apparently she made several claims against others too.
are there any examples of using this with the anthropic API to build something like Claude Desktop?

the docs aren't super clear yet wrt. how one might actually implement the connection. do we need to implement another set of tools to provide to the API and then have that tool call the MCP server? maybe i'm missing something here?

I would recommend reading Cribsheet by Emily Oster. She is an economics professor who got obsessed with figuring out what advice people give actually has solid evidence supporting it, and what is bullshit.

I've also used this site https://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/month-by-month/ which gives you a decent idea of what to expect from your baby each month.

Also for me, the first 4 months were pretty rough. Lack of sleep for everyone, and wife still recovering from birth both mentally and physically. But after 4 months it got a lot better, and has actually been a lot of fun. Hopefully things will get better for you and your family too!
You say the lack of forced AI answers with their accompanying russian-roulette-esque accuracy as if that's a bad thing.
Ah, gotcha. Yea, it depends on the sect/group/'denomination'. Some are ultra-strict about electricity/tech, others have certain guidelines (i.e. keeping something like a landline in an entire different structure). It can vary even within the same county.
> My unpopular take is that people, and definitely the government, would take gifted options more seriously if there weren’t so many kids who did nothing more than learn the multiplication table early being classified as gifted.

It isn't that unreasonable to ask for an education system that pushes kids as fast as the kid keeps up with and eases them back if they regress to the mean at some point

Learning the multiplication table early isn't necessarily a sign that someone is a genius, but it does mean they are ahead of their class. There is no benefit to holding them back to the level of other kids their age "just in case they might not actually be gifted" or whatever it is you are proposing

If they wind up graduating high school early but then not really doing anything exceptional in their lives that's actually fine
The word "suburbs" appears in Julius Caesar, Act II, Scene 1.

Yeah I mean if you care about correctness at scale Rust is basically the only imperative language worth using, due to its separation between mutable and immutable state. I believe having that separation is a fundamental requirement for correctness at scale. I would love to see a simpler language than Rust have that kind of separation, but that doesn't exist at the moment.

Not everyone cares about correctness at scale! Python for example is a perfectly fine language to use when getting something out is more important than being correct at scale. A lot of game dev can also live without full correctness because things like player positions can just be fixed up afterwards if there's a bug. But if correctness at scale is a priority, Rust is the only serious imperative option.
it's a perfectly good phrase to describe what it says. if that bothers you, maybe you need to ask yourself why.
> Note: From the start we assume that the gifted deserve more from public school, thus we call them "neglected" when they seem to be simply treated the same.

Do you think challenged kids deserve more from public school than anyone else? The point is that different kids has different needs, the general classroom is designed for the average student and doesn't fit those who are very different regardless in what way they are different.
STALKER 2 – A stunning sequel to a PC classic
While I can't speak to all of your questions / criticisms, food packaging is responsible for releasing a wide range of chemicals that are either known or suspected to be harmful to some (men, pregnant women, etc) or all humans, including BPA, phthalates, xenoestrogens, per- and poly-fluorinated substances, and microplastics. I'm sure there are many others, those are just the ones that come to top of mind for me.
Ahh, so in addition to having trouble getting consistently-sized pieces the size of a dice or chop, the other reason knives are preferred is that a food processor damages the onion, releasing more water compared to a knife. The result doesn't caramelize as well. This is why higher-end restaurants cut onions by hand, even when operating at scale.
I feel like you might be missing the point. A case statement is not to be treated as something you bolt on as a hack. It is the right tool for the job the vast majority of the times. When you use case statements, you refine and reduce your state space. It makes code easier to understand. When you combine this with the idea of making illegal states unrepresentable, a case statement gives you an exhaustive listing of what could happen. Even a lot of Haskell programmers, after using things like the `maybe` function to eliminate Maybe types and things like `fmap` over Maybe, eventually find that using case expressions produces the clearest code even though it may be one line longer.

I really hope HN enforces a rule that a downvote must be accompanied by a reply.

Now I think I get it, you just don't like Django. And that is fine, there are plenty of good alternatives.

I believe you are supposed to calculate R*0.55... once for the max onion radius and use the same cut on the smaller disks. That way the smaller disk is cut identically to the inner part of the larger disk.
I was in California GATE programs in the 80s and 90s. I was also (and still am, I guess) Latino, so it's not like there was universal exclusion if you weren't white. As far as I remember, being placed in these programs was entirely a matter of scoring high on some IQ test you were given in 1st grade. It's hard to say the program made any difference. We took some extra classes I barely remember. We had special summer schools I actually do remember, and got some early exposure to computers before there were regular classes for them, but things I remember from these summer schools were learning how to make donuts and conducting a mock trial for Lex from Jurassic Park for getting Gennaro killed, not exactly tremendous intellecual challenges.

Frankly, I don't say this to be a dick, but teachers don't exist who can handle kids like me. I spent 16 hours a day at the public library sometimes devouring 1000-page books about how lasers worked. I got a perfect SAT score. I also won a district-wide art show three out of four years in high school. I made varsity in four sports and won two state championships. I got second place in the state spelling bee. I was on a television quiz show when I was 12. I could run a 5-minute mile when I was 12 and slam dunk a basketball by the time I was 14. I was good at everything I ever tried to do. I was smarter than the teachers and I was a rotten little immature kid who let them know it.

Some kids just aren't going to be served well by school no matter what you do, but what else was I going to be served well by? I took some college classes in high school and they weren't any more interesting. I had no interest in starting or running a business. I wasn't mature enough to hold a regular job. I can't think of anything the school system could have done that would have been better than just regular school.

Much like this writer, I ended up okay anyway.
I dont think the CT will ever sell large amounts like their other models. Especially with the $7500 tax credit going bye bye.

Trump continues to be graded on a baffling curve:

So he put someone vaguely qualified into a post, then immediately did something economically stupid just to make a point? Much potency.
So it's not quite the same thing but the US government has historically performed a sovereign devaluation of its currency.

I am of course talking about FDR (Executive Order 6102). This made it illegal to own gold. You had to hand it in and get paid at ~$20/oz. After doing this, the US dollar (nominally on the gold standard at the time) was revised to ~$35/oz.
I have to agree. It's distracting because it's a low signal quip that asserts that your opponents have no substance behind their views beyond looking good. Just make your argument.

Even if this were the rare valid application of it, it's so overused as a low effort attack that the comment is no better off for using it.

Finally, we have to contend with the fact that people earnestly believe in the things they say and do. If it were just for optics and they didn't actually hold their positions, these issues would be far easier to deal with.
Nice! Great to see innovation in the Jekyll space.

Quick FYI on Jekyll performance:

I noticed slow generation times on one of my sites and traced it to a plugin that was spawning a git process to get the last commit info for every page. I wrote a drop-in replacement called jekyll-last-commit[0] that uses the ruby libgit2 wrapper for improved performance. Details on its origins are in an old HN comment[1] if you are interested!

I agree, but how ridiculous is the overreach of police when we start suggesting that schools include it in curriculum
> This is institutional racism. The opportunity is not equal.

The test is not a form of racism, institutional or otherwise. It's doubling as a proxy measure for the socioeconomic disadvantage the students have experienced up to that point.

You can't get rid of socioeconomic disadvantage by refusing to measure it, no more than you can cure COVID by refusing to test for it.
Can you share more details? Where have you moved to? What alternatives did you consider?
We're just lucky the HN title ruiner bot didn't change it to "We can food"
You don't understand the non-pushback because you're someone who thinks of racism as a personal matter and something a person either is or isn't. Everyone is racist, I'm racist. Those ideas have been deeply ingrained into me from when I was a little girl all the way through now and they're never going away. What I can do is learn to recognize when my "first thought" is likely a racist one, push it to the frontal cortex for rational analysis, and adjust my response if necessary.

Racist as a pejorative is one who is doing it on purpose or with indifference, context matters. We perceive white children as smarter is an everyone problem, not an individual teacher problem.
I understand now thanks. That point doesn't make sense to me in the context of the article because the article is claiming that black and Latino gifted children were under-scouted until the BLM movement. Seems that this and that are 2 different issues.
The OMC desk is still there trading. How is that not "a thing?"
What we oughta do is make a system where state education funding is equally distributed (per student capita) to all the schools in a state. Local funding by property taxes, while not most of the funding for schools, also needs to go. We also oughta try and tackle the administrative bloat on a federal level to get more of that money going to things that directly help students. I agree equality of outcome is a hopeless endeavor when schools are so dramatically unequal in the states, but I also think we could address that inequality of opportunity with better funding policy.
> They all took the same test, white kids came out on top. This is a racist belief

I am not even white, but something there in your rationale does not make sense. If they all took the same test and white kids were on top, how is this a belief?

Is there a word missing somewhere? Is the implication that the test was rigged? It is an honest question, I couldn't follow the rationale there.

The people who won't wear seatbelts, who tape over dashboard lights, who would skip inspections, will also ignore recall notices, so for them, for those who don't care much about safety, dealership recalls are not an inconvenience. And they probably don't care one way or the other about OTA recalls either.

The people who bring their vehicles in for dealership recalls do care about safety, otherwise they would have ignored the recall notice, like the people who don't care.

You can compare the vehicle software updates to non-vehicle software updates. Those who don't care about security will happily ignore security updates and continue to use old versions of the software on their computers forever. And those who do care about security will update, even if the updates tend to cause other problems, such as removing features or otherwise making the UI worse.

> it's a response to NATO continually breaking promises

I hear this a lot, but when I look into it all I can find is Putin claiming that the US Secretary of State assured Gorbachev in 1990 that “NATO will not move one inch further east.” Gorbachev himself has stated that this quotation is taken out of context, and refers specifically to the movement of military structures within East Germany.

Did NATO put any pledges in writing, not to expand into Eastern Europe? It would be odd if they did, because an open door policy is a founding principle of NATO.
Is that how gifted students are identified these days? When I went through the gifted program as a kid/teen, we had to take what was considered to be an IQ test at the time. Being far ahead in some skills in schools might be have been indicator but not sufficient to being admitted.
If you model the (half) onion as a stack of these slices, it’s clear that the radius of each slice varies over the height of the onion; so the points below the onion found by this method towards which you need cut will form a curve, not a straight line. That is hard to accomplish with a straight knife that makes planar cuts.
> Go should really have an analogue to Rust's `?`, but you can't really do that in a sane way without sum types

It could be just some simple (hey, that's what go wants to be, right?) macro thing, that just does the everyday `if err!=nil{return ..., err}` for you without having to juggle (and think about) vars.

b := g(f()?)?
// var b B
// {
// var a A
// var err error
// a, err = f()
// if err != nil {
// return *new(A), *new(B), err
// }
// var b B
// b, err = g(a)
// if err != nil {
// return *new(A), *new(B), err
// }
// // no accidental reuse of err
// }

I mean look how much utterly useless noise this is, and count all the opportunities for mistakes that wouldn't get caught by the compiler.
Skid row doesn’t work in LA because there is no organization and it’s set up right in the heart of town.

I was a gifted program kid who was part of a new style of unstructured, learn at your own pace, self-learn program called the "informal" program. This was back in the early 1980s (the program itself had started in the 1970s).

The net result was that the highest achieving gifted kids did really well and the slacker gifted kids (myself included) did abysmally. Turns out some of us needed a level of structure and rigor enforced on us to nurture whatever gifted talents we had. Some kids learned it at home, for some it seemed to be innate and for others we did not have it anywhere in our lives and needed to be instructed in how to study, what to do, when to do it and at what pace.

I think this is what software engineering has almost always looked like. Computer science is definitely more pure and at the cutting edge of knowledge and implementations, but software engineering on the other hand is about understanding the tools available to you for your budget, and picking ones that will leave you with enough tolerances for your workload plus or minus expected variances, while expending the least of your budget. The longer you've been in your career, the more you have experienced the existing tools that are out there and can discuss those topics and weed out irrelevant details that some marketing department might tout because it's their tool's most favorable angle.

In short, computer science is algorithms, data structures, etc. Engineering is those things applied for a given set of constraints including time and budgetary constraints. Or at least that's how I've come to define the differences.

I generally tell my family my job is more like lego than anything else. It's about knowing the pieces available and how to put them together into something cool. And occasionally, you do get to build a new piece that brings the whole set together nicely if the brick you need doesn't exist yet.

Equality of outcome could even eventually lead to an objectively worse outcome for society as a whole when on a larger time scale due to holding back brilliant minds.

Those who were clearly brilliant and may have been entirely capable of pushing societal, technological, medical etc. advances forward in a larger time scale are held back, stifled, or even in cases of things like affirmative action (which I believe should exist, but only on the economic level, not on the basis of race or identity) have been denied of opportunity to go on and do great things.
