Even if Ansible has it that doesn’t mean people should put secrets in GIT repos. It just means a lot of Ansible users wanted it - and from my POV users don’t want correct features, they want what they feel they need.

GIT repo or config files should have references or secret names that should be filled in on the machine where scripts are running. Ideally secrets should never ever be transmitted even encrypted.

That’s people are lazy and don’t want to do proper setup is their problem.

There is nothing that should be encrypted belonging in GIT repo because secrets and encrypted stuff is not meant to be shared/dispersed. Where GIT main purpose is to share and distribute code.

I understand that this is technically a relevant answer, but did you really think anyone wanted to read a wall of text evaluation pasted in verbatim? Summarize it for us at least.
If you keep to the middle ground, it's not too bad. My journey started by ordering an inexpensive switch testing set with a bunch of Cherry/Gateron switch types, using it as a fidget toy around the desk for a few months, and concluding I liked the Cherry MX clear switches the most (no loud clicking sound, bit more actuating force, easier to feel actuating force than browns).

Result: got a WASD keyboard with clear switches in 2017 and have had no issues since, no sign of any wear, and little need to go down the endless rabbit hole. You're right though, the market for rabbit-holers has somewhat exploded.
As long as you remember the previous number correctly at least... :)

Sure, people can ignore the EBNF. But if you expect that, then why publish it at all? EBNF is specifically used to describe formats and get rid of ambiguities present in text description. Not being careful with it just undermines whole idea.
You humans are just too weird.
Good advice, but I think it should talk more about the distinction between the training objective and the true objective. For classic machine learning problems, like speech recognition or face detection, these were so close that we didn't even notice there was a difference. However, now ML models are being trained to predict clicks or or other proxies of "engagement" and these can be wildly divergent from the humane objectives we want in our products. In these cases it's really important to understand the gap between what you really want and what you can encode into an objective function.

Why do you think my stance is internally inconsistent?

For example, I completely trust Emacs maintainers, as I have yet to see any malice or dark patterns coming from them. The same applies to other free and open source software I use on a daily basis. These projects respect my privacy, have nothing to hide, and I have no problem trusting them.

On the other hand, I see more and more dark patterns coming from Apple, say when signed out of their cloud services. They pour millions into their privacy ads, but I do not trust them to act ethically, especially when money is on the table.

> At what point will it be universally understood that "free speech" is only legally binding when a person is speaking with the government

That is not what "free speech" means, that is what current US free speech laws does. Free speech itself include all censorship from big organizations, regardless if it is a government or not, the important part is if you have large organized censoring then its against free speech.

So it is totally valid to say you want to protect free speech by limiting the ability for large corporations to censor people.

I would argue that being able to see the drawbacks and potential negative externalities of a new technology is not a sign of a "limited imagination", but quite the contrary. An actual display of a limited imagination is the inability to imagine how a new technology can (and will) be abused in society by bad actors.
> You're choosing to write the `?`

...but you're not choosing to write the `throws FooException`?

I can only say that if the `?` weren't around and you had to write more verbose handling each time, having the question "How should this one particular error be handled?" might come up more often and might prevent more bugs than when you can carelessly `?`-annotate your way through a dozen lines without any equivalents of `finally { ... }` anywhere.
I second this. Bought one of these for my girlfriend so she could do art work. It got used for a few weeks and now just sits in the drawer. 1300 bucks wasted.

I think it's quite sad it didn't see any more iterations.

>cleaning-intensity ultrasound could cause issues for humans?

Apart from it being loud as fuck? (They say it's ultrasonic, but there's some harmonic around 15,000 Hz that they all exhibit for some reason- both the bucket cleaners and the plaque picks at the dentist's office- and if you can still hear that frequency it is quite unpleasant.)

Most of the cleaning action of this thing is just mechanically being sprayed; I think they threw the ultrasonic cleaning action in just because they could. I'm sure it makes you feel cleaner though.

I've seen multiple major projects (such a sphinx) break on newer versions of Python due to changes in typing. Typing should make the code more robust, not less.
CrimethInc. This was pure and simple censorship. Not saying that Twitter was better with their censorship of Occupy, but crimethInc was probably the one of the last US influencial left wing org on twitter, and didn't last a month. I think John Brown Gun club was also banned, but reinstated, and redneck revolution don't have such an online presence (and is quieter than the gun club about protecting LGBT rights). This calmed down recently, but still.

The reason casino's add more decks, is so they can use them up only half the way and then reshuffle again. This way the chance of a big unbalance to build up of which a counter could profit, becomes a lot smaller.

Counters can still make a profit but it's harder. But there are some extra tricks they can use: for instance they can come with a group, set a couple of players at tables and have the others walk around. As soon as some table becomes profitable, the playing member will give some sign and his colleagues will sit down and play at his table.

> It sounds like a disaster.

Why do you think so? It shouldn't be used for something like a library or an external API that other people rely on where communicating about breaking changes is actually important.

For something like a web application, I don't think it matters much. Do you know which version of Google Docs you're using? Do you care?

Saying it's semver compatible mostly means that you can use existing tools that work with semver and make assumptions about how version numbers can be sorted.
This is nearly meaningless. I see you have no point.

A few potential reasons for this design coming to mind:

- Resource allocation; you might want to give just specific amount of memory, CPU, network I/O to specific modules of a system, which is not really feasible within a single JVM

- Resource isolation; e.g. a memory leak in one module of the system will affect just that specific JVM instance but not others (similar to why browsers run tabs in multiple processes);

- Upgrades; you can put a new version of one module of the system into place without impacting the others; while the JVM does support this via dynamic classloading (as e.g. used in OSGi or Layrry, https://github.com/moditect/layrry), this becomes complex quickly, you can create classloader leaks, etc.

- Security; You might have (3rd-party) modules you want to keep isolated from the memory, data, config, etc. of other modules; in particular with the removal of the security manager, OS-enforced process isolation is the way to

Again, not an expert but Dr. Sarah Taber claims that number is inflated by considering farm employees, not farm owners [0].

In other words, the farm lobby has stolen farmworkers' deaths as their own.

Perhaps, but then we should use twitter as it is today as an example of what is normal.

I see people flee to bluesky because twitter is too right wing, but given the current composition, it's those fleeing that have the wrong calibration.

It's very concerning when a large chunk of people literally believe a representative slice of the country is intolerable

In contrast, right wingers who complained that Twitter was too liberal for years are basically correct. It was disproportionately liberal for many years.
What's a Fair Salary for a Junior Full-Stack Engineer at a YC Startup?
Hi HN,

I’m an 18-year-old self-taught software engineer passionate about startups and solving real-world problems with tech. I’ve built SaaS platforms and web apps, including a financial advisor SaaS currently in beta.

I’m exploring junior full-stack engineering roles at YC startups and want to understand:

What’s a reasonable base salary for someone at my level?
How flexible should I be with compensation, especially for early-stage startups?

For context:

I have experience in frontend, backend, and AI/ML development.
I’m eager to work in high-impact environments and am open to working at a competitive rate if the role is exciting enough.

I’d love to hear insights from founders or anyone with experience hiring for these roles. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a junior engineer—I’d be happy to contribute to your mission!

Thanks in advance for your advice!

JVM does garbage collection, this can stop all threads at safepoints while GC occurs.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Hebbian learning is the basis for current ANNs. Spiking neural nets again an adaptation of neural nets. The entire field is inspired by nature and has been an a never ending quest to replicate it

Interestingly enough, there are no primitive types in C#; that's a Java term. I'd probably ask for what definition they're after because I can think of a few:

• Types that have a type alias (that makes them special in the language), but that would include string and object.

• Value types that have a type alias. Closer to what Java does and would include most basic numeric types. But it would exclude System.Half and System.Int128 for example.

• Value types that the runtime knows about and might treat in a special way (e.g. by also having specific IL instructions for them). That would include most basic numeric types (and enums), but probably exclude boolean, decimal and the newer ones.

• Value types in general, as they all function similarly, regardless of whether it's bool, int, ValueTuple<float, ushort> or an enum. But that list is no longer finite.

But perhaps the following discussion about types in C# and .NET was what they're after. Who knows.
This is my approach too. A kind of "relaxed" typing I often call it. Just knowing what a function expects and returns helps a lot, what each element of a tuple is, or what a list contains. Before type hints, I used to not enjoy Python at all, but these days I find it fun. The few times I spend time pondering about how to type things are greatly outweighed by the time saved of not having to research what type a particular variable is.

I think that you are comparing un-comparable. No, farmers back then, regardless of what unclear period you talk about, did not had two jobs. They had one job.

Also, I suspect you don't have actual concrete place and time in mind. How farming and economy worked varied widely between times and places, you cant just cherry pick small anecdotes from span over 500 years and two continents and create comfortable picture.
As a small optimalisation, for some applications it may also be acceptable to configure a timezone that applies to the whole database, and then to do everything else the author describes here.
Thinking about it, I might have misunderstood what you wrote a bit. What I read was that you trust people, but then you also don't. That's not really a fair reading of what you wrote.

That being said, I have seen "patterns" with open source software as well, so I'm hesitant to agree on trusting it. But that's a different problem.

I also know how little hardware, microcode and firmware can be trusted, so that doesn't help either.
