Not particularly what?

> Political lines are about which facts you accept.

Right, one side outright makes up lies and denies things.

> liberal "facts" are often two lies and a half-truth wearing a trench coat.

I see your footnote, it's still nonsense. Conservatives outright lie, Trump an JD outright admitted to making up the story about Haitians eating pets which did incredible harm to a community, and conservatives lapped it up and asked for seconds instead of, you know, holding them accountable.
Indirect involvement can still be ok within the confines of a license agreement for using the actor's voice.
Is a function that would need 35 levels of indentation a good idea? I have seen C code with about 12 levels of indentation and that was not too great.

The parent post argued Apple only cares about tax benefits in Ireland. To me it’s a perfectly valid reason to operate in a country, it’s on the countries to provide an environment where local businesses benefit from low taxes, and not only large corporations like Apple.
Wow, this post seems quite distrustful, to say the least.

For instance this shocking paragraph is backed only with YouTube comments on vlogs.

> Setting aside useful modern sex/gender mythologies, it is clear that men are interested in having sex and women are interested in having children. I am often struck by how broody many women are from an evolutionary perspective. Despite the significant risk placed by giving birth to a woman’s life, many of the most neurotically minded women that I know are absolutely obsessed with having children and satiating their craving for cuteness.8 It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective for such a genetic instinct to have been cultivated. How else could women be incentivized to bear the incredible risks of child birth?

You can't claim something this extraordinary without a solid study.

There's also a graph with a line interpolating a fog of points which could not clearly be interpolated like this.

I didn't find the claim you mentioned, searching "organic" didn't find anything. I was interested in knowing if it considered meat consumption. The word meat doesn't seem to appear. I probably wouldn't have trusted anything written there anyway.
Main problem is it's not ordered. It works if your software is deployed imperatively in a CI pipeline, but doesn't work if some other system is going to pull it later.
perhaps the "attacks" relate to the condescending tone with which you relate your superior skills.

I think most people's amazement with lsp relates to the practical benefits of such a project _not_ being thrown away but taken that last 10% (which is 90% of the work) to make it suitable for so many use cases and selling people on the idea of doing so.

See, when you're apologizing and defending this behavior, you're already in the wrong.

He violated his own platforms policies requiring such videos to be labeled. If you don't think that was deliberate to mislead people, you're incredibly naive. It's hardly the first time he's done that sort of thing.

I care about being honest, you clearly don't since you champion liars. god this country is so screwed lol.
As a competitive FPS player, I can say that it's not just about "changing the actuation point to your liking", but a software feature called "Rapid Trigger" [1].

This thing is here to stay, in the past I've tried all types of mechanical switches (Blue/Brown/Red) and this easily beats them all in competitive FPS, the responsiveness is on another level, and you just can't go back after that.

I didn’t say people from Baltimore always say this. I said people always say this when the show is criticized. Even then, I’m pretty skeptical of the possibility that people commenting on random Reddit or HN topics were personally involved in the drug trade in Baltimore twenty years ago.

As I wrote in my initial comment, the show is great but has an irritating fan base that is hostile to anyone suggesting that it isn’t a documentary. It’s a television show that uses fairly standard narrative techniques to tell a story. That doesn’t mean it’s made up; but it does mean that it isn’t a unquestionably factual story, as its fan base would like you to believe.

It’s a very similar situation to people that insist New York is the greatest city in the world. Yeah, it’s an awesome place, and probably in the top ten. But this obsession with “being the best city/best TV show of all
time” clouds judgement and becomes a cultish attitude after awhile.
Today, we would instead make an app that would matchmake important people, who desire to be effortlessly washed, with less-than-important people, who are willing to wash others for less than a minimum wage. It's sharing (and caring) economy!

We would also call this a "minimum viable product" and promise that in some future update, the less-than-important people involved will be replaced by AI (and become even less important).

Where do they need tumblers for personal non industrial scale operations? I know ppl in South America who use crypto to save on dollar conversion fees when sending money abroad to family. No washing needed.

Where on the planet an oppressive gov somehow has the resources to track insignificant personal crypto amounts from ordinary people instead of just banning crypto? Check if crypto fuels this oppression machine in much larger amounts in the first place?
True. Perhaps not the best comparison.

There is a fundamental difference in branding dynamics between markets that value novelty vs. predictability, and exclusivity vs. availability.

With the wine market varying across both those axes.

Then there is the consumption vs. collection aspect. Winos of all persuasions have individually varying degrees of immediate satisfaction, delayed-reward, and hoarding/treasuring instincts.

Not really a cola soda branding type market at all!
All models use the same human-written source text from companies like Scale.ai. The contractors write like that because they're from countries like Nigeria and naturally talk that way.

Outsourcing AI Model Development
It’s quite clear what the opinions are of YC founders and leaders on outsourcing. One thing I was curious about was, is it any different to outsource the development of an AI model (training, fortification, etc.) as opposed to outsourcing the development of say an entire app or software.

What is your opinion on this? Some AI models require time-intensive labeling if they’re used for computer vision, and I wonder if it’s at all reasonable to outsource to get an accurate model, or if this is also a great founder sin.
This is needed because people misunderstand the purpose of semver (IMNSHO).

Semver is about the semantics of the software (it's in the name), so it's entirely about that software's interface (whether to the programmer via API, other software, users).

It's not about the implementation (except perhaps the "patch" component). If you fix a bug that doesn't change the interface, then there's no bump to the semver.

"Trunkver" is about the implementation, but in a semver compatible format.
What if you rebase/force push? Seems dangerous to rely on "protected branches" and the like to avoid version clashes.

Car (for personal transport) is also a bad idea, yet there is plenty of them.
It would be somewhat more "compatible" with semver if it placed the timestamp in the MINOR or PATCH segment, rather than in the MAJOR:

If you had any regular 3/4 or 1-ton truck, which is what you are getting or better for the price of a cybertruck, everyone wearing a seatbelt survives such an accident.

Which is a inherently insane argument, to trust on the exploration of a labyrinth (research) to uncover ever more powerful hot potatoes, to save you from the hot potatoes you already juggle with. One missed juggling motion and you are stuck in a position you are unlikely to get out of because the failure to juggle reveals the original tribal societies inability to hold it together and propel a scientific society under stress.
Surface irregularities (bumpiness) are the reason why lower pressure tyres are now preferred on bikes. The idea is that a very rigid tyre will deflect the bike and rider up and down which wastes some energy/momentum as well as fatiguing the rider, whereas a lower pressure tyre can absorb those irregularities and "roll-over" the bumps. This is part of the reason that recent thinking has moved from skinny high pressure tyres, to wider medium pressure tyres. (Wider tyres will tend to roll quicker than a thin tyre at the same pressure - something to do with how the contact patch deforms the rubber).

However, cycling tracks are designed to be very smooth which is why high pressure tyres are still used there.
The frustrating thing with SOC2, or pretty much most compliance requirements, is that they are less about what’s “technically true”, and more about minimizing raised eyebrows.

It does make some sense though. People are not perfect, especially in large organizations, so there is value in just following the masses rather than doing everything your own way.
Back in high school lab I remember we were told not to put our hands into ultrasonic cleaners because it messes with your bones or joints or something like that.

No. I read the text and had no access to pictures.

Assuming the text reporting to be correct, then perhaps they had a can opener and pulled them out through the roof, maybe they broke a window, perhaps the entire car split open.

Modern (2019-ish? forwards?) MacBooks have physical disconnect for microphones when the lid is shut.
The funny thing about trunkver being "compatible" with semver is that it is not semantically compatible, only format compatible.

You could (but not necessarily should) combine them by making the trunkver the "patch" part of semver.

In our work, the semver is kept separate from the build version. We use a build versioning of vYYYY-MM-DD[.hhh] where hhh is for a "hotfix" of a previously released version.

The version of the "next" release can be set (either in advance, or based on a sprint or just the current date).
Understanding Polars Data Types
Speaking at PyTexas – PyTexas Conference
Is Tiktok the scapegoat for failed politicians now?
Time is sequential. Otherwise, sequential build numbers are kind of hard to orchestrate in a distributed architecture. Not impossible. But it introduces complexities if you have many build machines.

I don't think semver compatibility is that relevant/meaningful here. Normally I'd also want the branch name as part of the version tag. We do that with our docker containers. Adding the timestamp at the beginning is a good idea as it helps sort things by recency. I might copy that. The CI build id is nice, but I typically don't archive these anyway. All this concatenated gets a bit long.
Well in C you have non-aligned pointers, because you can have pointers to things that aren't objects and might not be aligned (e.g. individual chars or shorts). In Java everything is at least 8-byte-aligned, you can't store a loose char/short/int on the heap (it has to go in a boxed object that's 8-byte-aligned, though the compiler will do this semi-automatically) and you can't take a pointer to an individual element of an array.

If you applied the C standard strictly, you could use a JVM-style representation for pointers to longs, pointers, and structs that start with longs and pointers, so you could theoretically have an implementation where those pointers were shorter. But you'd have to convert back and forth when casting to and from void* (and char*), and in practice C people expect to be able to cast a long* to int, cast that to void*, and get the same result as casting long* to void*, even though doing that and using it is undefined behaviour according to the standard.
Paywint
I'm not the person you asked the question to but I had an unpleasant experience with Typescript recently.

I used a HTTP requests library in a nuxtjs app (probably nuxt's native library) and I spent too much of my time conjuring the request and response types that would please the type checker. It was extremely frustrating because the code would work in Javascript but the compiler wouldn't accept it because of typing.

I can't give you the details because I'm not at my computer now but the type was a mix of HTTP verbs and the structure of the JSON response. I gave up after a while and rewrote the code using fetch and no types. If they stand between me and the final result they can go down the drain.
> Quite the opposite actually, it emphasizes the importance of such anonymity but also acknowledges that it also comes with problems for society.

I think this is just a tongue-in-cheek argument by the author. The article suggests adding a penalty for using cash, which, given the highly competitive payments landscape, will effectively accelerate the phase-out.

Cynically, this could be read as making payment privacy exclusive to the better off, which has its own highly problematic implications.

Purely from the perspective of raising more government funds, I can understand their argument. But from that perspective, I think there are better, less disruptive ways for governments to extract value from the payments system.
Magnesium is common in suspension forks lower legs.
Kudos. I appreciate the desire to be open source and the need to monetize (and I don't have a golden solution to it, so I would probably do something similar), but I just wish that people clearly define that they are open core because there are a lot of amazing open source projects out there, and it wouldn't be fair to them to be called open source when they aren't.
I think it would also allow "careers" to detach from mistakes like papers published on the wrong side of a paradigm as "junior" mistakes.
If you understand that the "sem" in semver is specifically about semantics and not about anything else, and that an API includes its current semantics in the semver, then it makes sense.

The issues I've struck with other developers:

1. Defining the boundaries of the API

2. Defining the semantics of the API from the perspective of the user
Same on my Dell Latitude. Seems a very odd design decision. They've also centrally aligned the switch so that it's not immediately obvious from the switch position whether the cover is iver the lens or not. Super annoying.
Uhm, is that actually true? How is the $10 I spend on a digital album on Bandcamp not 90%+ profit for the band? Sure, maybe the overpriced T-shirt has a bit more profit as a raw number, but realistically, I'm going to buy a band's merch the one time I see them every 3-5 years (assuming they stay together and tour for that long). If they release music more frequently, I would suspect buying a digital album is more sustainable long term.

I think this is also why you see bands like Weezer releasing more niche EPs/LPs. Heck, look at jam bands like Phish or Dave Matthews who release every single live show online as a separate album for fans to also buy to relive the experience they had at a particular show. The hardcore fans will buy the music, so it's in the band's best interest to "keep shipping" and record as much as possible.
I can throw some guesses: 1) apps deployed in separate Docker containers due to organization's tech team separation, 2) apps that require security/performance isolation among tenants, 3) isolation layer around memory-leaky and bug-prone third-party library code.

Output from o1-preview for comparison:

> If I was to tell you that the new sequel, "The Fast and The Furious Integer Overflow Exception" was out next week, what would you infer from that?

> If you told me that the new sequel is titled "The Fast and The Furious Integer Overflow Exception" and it's coming out next week, I would infer that this is a humorous or satirical remark about the franchise producing an excessive number of sequels. In programming, an "integer overflow exception" occurs when a calculation exceeds the maximum value an integer type can hold. Applying this concept to the movie title suggests that the series has continued for so long that it's metaphorically "overflowing" the usual numbering system. Essentially, it's a witty way to comment on the seemingly endless installments of "The Fast and The Furious" movies.

I will try some more serious prompts later tho. Thanks for letting me try this out. :)
Whilst bamboo is an interesting "green" material, it doesn't really compare well to a carbon fibre frame. Modern thinking is that the frame weight is secondary to aerodynamics and one of the advantages of CF is that the frame "tubes" can be shaped specifically to help with that. Of course, the main aerodynamic advantage to be gained is from the human sat on top of the bike.

The €30k to €35k per year they make in this context approximates to free. Any normal company has to pay much more than that for less. A non-phd software engineer will get paid much more to change button colors for example. So that can't be the reason they are expensive and a PhD candidate is doing many other things than just helping to run trials.
"Shock" as in "not the results we wanted".
I disagree entirely. Single person octocopters running autonomously would be awesome.
Quality used bikes are remarkably affordable. I'm a sucker for 80s road bikes; $200 gets you something decent, bring it to a shop for a tune up and probably new brakes.

10-speeds are most common, so you have to be ok with that; although some vintage bikes did have 3 chain rings. Older road bikes tend to have narrow tires, because everybody thought they were faster; 1/4" tires are workable on unpaved mixed use trails, but 1/8" will be pushed around easily by tree roots and ruts.

The future of the past looked so much more interesting. Not practical, but certainly interesting.

I'm curious why the author of this piece decided to use the gender neutral pronoun for the women who modelled this odd machine. They wrote:

> The demonstration model would climb into the six-foot-tall machine via ladder, then enter the chamber, with their head sticking out of the top. They'd set the water temperature, then the machine would start spraying them with jets of warm water, like the pre-wash cycle at a car wash.

These models were all women. This was the 1970s, and the photos support the reasonable assumption that this was not a demonstration where male models were used. Using gender neutral pronouns is sensible in many cases — I didn't go as far as to look into the author's biography for example, so I refer to them as they for the nonce — but is doing so when the gender is known (and possibly relevant given the social context of that time) now on the rise, or is this just hypercorrection?
Maybe that's just mostly due to the UCI regulations? No point to develop a fully fitted 5kg bike if it has to be 7kg anyways I suppose

There were no missiles, erectors, launchers, silo doors, hatches, warheads, fueling systems or solid rockets, launch control systems. Therefore not "nuclear missile tunnels".
