> Certainly we must be missing some factor from this analysis

This is like saying nobody should ever take any medicine ever, even after years of study and analysis, because there might be some unknown harm that we haven't yet identified from it because we aren't looking in the right places. And yet we have collectively decided that taking medicine when we are sick is actually a good thing to do, because being sick in known catastrophic ways is objective and true while the unknown unknown is purely hypothetical and unfounded.

Well millions upon millions of people are dying, objectively and truly, and we can stop it. And what you have to say against a proposal that has had substantial risk analysis already done, where the harms have been determined to be nil, is something completely unfounded without a basis in any known mechanism in the real world.

It has been analyzed to death. At some point it becomes important to recognize that further objection on the same basis that has already been rebutted time and again is no longer clever and is just obstructionism with a willfully catastrophic cost.
They made tools to make us redundant and are upset we're forced to use those tools to be competitive.
If your coding assessment can be done with AI and the code that the candidate is expected to write can’t be, doesn’t that by definition mean you are testing for the wrong thing during your coding interview?
It isn't a mere warning. It is strongly recommended as the upper limit.

I see plenty of conservatives on Bluesky and they aren’t banned? However I have seen conservatives who act rudely get banned so maybe that’s what you mean? But my point stands I see conservative discussion on there near daily and it isn’t banned.

The learning effort thing is a solid point. I think what I play most these days is Super Mario World romhacks. Obviously the level design and whatnot aren't the same as the original, but the controls and physics are and I learned those as a fairly young child in the 90s.

The reason I don't like most other platformers almost definitely isn't because they're actually inferior, it's just because I'm "calibrated" to SMW
Shitpost in, shitpost out.
So your argument is that something that takes in 500m in its useful lifetime shouldn't net the creator more than something that takes in only 100k in its useful lifetime? Yes, big content X that churns out mega movies that have more staying power than indy film y would make more money, but now instead of that mega company X holding onto everything for 10 lifetimes they are forced to releases it. If this is structured to kick in with normal lifespans accounted for then it shouldn't really hurt the indy side of things.

>So both the '?' operator and adding 'throws CheckedException' everywhere let you accidentally neglect proper error handling: You have a default that is syntactically almost invisible and frees you from thinking.

No. You're choosing to write the `?` there to bubble up the error. It's a compiler error if you forget it. Whereas with `throws FooException` you only get forced to remember it the first time, and after that you're allowed to forget it.

Super sad, have spent a long of time in the area from riding right through the middle of it and parking my motorbike under it, to wolfing Turkish lunches and drinking in the pubs (not on the same day, drink-driving mavens). It is a bit of anomaly in the modern London, hard to get to and surrounded by roads that aren’t really fit for purpose anymore, but it’s these incongruous spots that make things interesting. I remember the butcher on the main Farringdon Road just near the Charterhouse St junction, who was somewhat of a character, scoffing at my suggestion that he would even consider buying meat from Smithfield - literally around the corner - which confused and amused me at the same time.

I note the haughty remarks of other commenters who are neither familiar with the area or the ability to read, and suggest they pay a virtual visit to the spots in question

Idk, my impression always was and is that Android app development is complex, especially when you got Java in the mix....maybe now it's easier when Kotlin is around.

Your idea is very good and you can even monetize your app by selling ad space when users choose "boredom" then you can recommend them sponsored apps and games.

This idea would be also interesting on PC, when users lock their screens and then come back to do something. Maybe it can even be part of some diary/note taking app where when you unlock your screen note window pops up and asks you "What are you planning to do now?".
I don't know about fair or unfair, but it's just a problem you don't have to worry about if there's no egress fees.
In most cases it really doesn't matter. You wanted A* and you got it. Understanding isn't important if the product works.
More directly it is energy/electricity, which is the reason the cost is high.

You need atleast 35 watts per square foot of high quality grow LEDs to grow most crops outside of leafy greens. That is about 1.5 million watts per acre for 12-16 hours per day, which makes it pretty obvious why it isn't economical. And even if we could meet the theoretical efficiency limit of LED lighting technology, it would still take atleast half of that amount of electricity.
please bring in person interview. I am sick and tired of cheaters. They rig every thing ....
Until 200 years ago most places didn't think Deaf people were capable of learning. With no schools there was less Deaf culture and fewer codified signed languages. It's an awful history.

ASL is more similar to French sign language. Thanks to Thomas Gallaudet, who founded a school in 1817 in Connecticut. Gallaudet was American but studied in Europe and learned about teaching Deaf people in part from a French school.
Could you wire it with a relay/transistor?
It's also a moving part. Worse, a part the customer moves. Which means more opportunity for crap getting crammed in or breaking.
It's because we've reached a point where the average conservative rhetoric is toxic, harmful and generally flat out incorrect. Political lines are now about acknowledging facts or not, and being bigoted or not. Places like Bluesky that don't allow misinformation or bigotry are of course going to be harsh on the political party that thrives on both.

> Most code with type hints is easier to read

That has not been my experience in the past few years.

I've always been a fan of type hints in Python: intention behind them was to contribute to readability and when developer had that intention in mind, they worked really well.

However, with the release of mypy and Typescript, engineering culture largely shifted towards "typing is a virtue" mindset. Type hints are no longer a documentation tool, they are a constraint enforcing tool. And that tool is often at odds with readability.

Readability is subjective and ephemeral, type constraints (and intellisense) are very tangible. Naturally, developers are failing to find balance between the two.
It's too bad he does not answer how to write better. It's more about making a career out of it.
Better article that’s still concise:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-faces-wide-rang...
AI dominance is secured through legal and regulatory means, not technical methods.

So for instance, a basic strategy is to rapidly develop AI and then say “Oh wow AI is very dangerous we need to regulate companies and define laws around scraping data” and then make it very difficult for new players to enter the market. When a moat can’t be created, you resort to ladder kicking.
Early reports suggest that they were trapped in the vehicle. Horrifying and sad if true.
> After the code has stabilized I can probably go back to write type hints [...] but I'm not sure that this would provide very much value.

I think most developers who revisit their projects 6+ months later would disagree with the second part of this statement.

My typical flow for "quick scripts" is:

on first pass I'll add basic type hints (typing ":str" after a func param takes .2 seconds)

for more complex data structures (think a json response from an api), dict (or typing.Dict) work fine

if you want a Python project to be maintainable, type hints are a requirement imho.
> Because carbon dioxide and dinitrogen are very volatile they must be taken from atmosphere.

I don't follow the logic. These two ideas are definitely compatible - oxygen is very volatile, and it's present in significant quantities in the atmosphere, and therefore can be (and is) taken from the atmosphere.

But they seem to me to be in tension rather than supporting each other. Oxygen is present in the atmosphere, but _because_ it is very volatile, it's constantly reacting with stuff on the ground, which is a process that tends to eliminate it from the atmosphere. What's the reasoning that suggests that the volatility of carbon dioxide means it has to be taken from the atmosphere?
Ha! You never know when you are going to run into a point-of-view that would be on the fast track to 'closed as off-topic' if anyone asked a question about it on the philosophy stack exchange.
Thank you! It's just using google's translate and text to speech APIs! It can support any language google supports, I just need to add some strings to the code!

LLMS shines in places where low-effort slop was already acceptable. It's undeniable that the biggest impact the current AI wave is having on society is the amount of slop everyone has to contend with.
I wish there was some way to get vlc to use external sprite files.

While I'm thinking about it, external chapter files would be great too. Then you could make your own bookmarks without modifying the video file.
The process is anything but simple at large companies. Even if the new hire is a complete fraud and can barely write code it'll still take an average manager 6-12 months to be able to show them the door. And it'll involve countless meetings and a mountain of paperwork, all taking away time from regular work. And then it'll take another 6 months to get a replacement and onboard them. That means your team has lost over a year of productivity over a single bad hire.

Show HN: SF Search – iPhone app for searching SF Symbols by drawing
Hello HN, first-time poster, long-time lurker. Sometimes I found it really hard to find a specific icon in Apple's SF Symbols library, so I made a pretty simple iPhone app that lets you make a drawing to search symbols similar to it. It also works on Macs with Apple Silicon. I used Create ML to train the image classifier that generates the suggestions.

The app is completely free and you can download it here: https://apple.co/3OmVB8W

I'd love any feedback that you might have. Hope that you find the app useful!

I think there was a long period where a proper PC would frequently have only the cheap stereo speakers which are small enough to far outperform raw microphone leads. But I'm not sure this works that well in >=HDMI even if some monitor speakers might otherwise be ideal.
This is great a social networking platform that actually has a unique usability twist!

This form of gradually gaining trust to learn ones real identity feels like a part of real life that is missing online. So many more of my interactions in real life are some form of anonymous or vague idea of who someone is. Those interactions don't come with a dossier of their interactions with others for me to browse or judge them on. This feels closer to that.

It will be very interesting to see how people take to this.

Hi, thanks for pointing that out!

I was so busy implementing the actual features that, I forgot those dummy stats were still there.

I'll edit the landing page ASAP, and implement a privacy policy.
Please, as if you have to ask. You’re already defensive about it, defending your chosen side with whataboutisms.

I’ll say it again: full of shit.
Curious, did you go through the math of figuring out how much the initial file transfer and ongoing cost will set you back (not a lot from the sounds of it). Should be way to do, but I’ve just not found the time yet to do that for a backup I’m intending to send to S3 as well
Last year I laser-cut a replica of my phone out of wood. I looked at it, said the words "this is my phone", and put it in my pocket, where I normally carried my phone. You wouldn't believe how many times I mindlessly pulled out this piece of wood from my pocket, intending to check messages, or whatever. When I placed it on the table while having dinner with a friend, my inner eye was looking at it, thinking maybe there is a new message. It was absolutely absurd and scary. You can try this out yourself.
Oh no, that'd be awful...but good news, I just looked into it, no China/Russia investors! It's a real estate developer working with the people to get a bunch of units built to ease a historic shortage. Huzzah!
Surprised Apple hasn't implemented it and charged an additional $50 for the feature.
What a shame. On a few occasions my wife and I woke up at ridiculous o'clock and made our way down to Billingsgate market on the underground. We'd come back with fish and a big salmon in a black bin-bag, which I'd do a progressively less horrific job of filleting each time.

Our reward would be a bacon/sausage and egg butty and a stiff cup of builder's tea.

Good times
> I say all this because people who are in job search processes should frame the process accurately in their mind. It hopefully will help with not taking the process so personally or not getting so infuriated with it.

For people who consider honesty a part of their identity, it's infuriating that the system has a selection bias for dishonest people. It's not selecting a random 10%.

> It may also help you strategize how to find your way into the roles you want, if crushing these tests isn't your strong suit. People who are vouched for get to bypass all of this. The more confidently you are vouchced for by a trusted party, the more benefit of the doubt you get in the hiring process.

Networking is still selection bias, but one that favors white men. Racial minorities have fewer social connections to hiring managers, and women in tech have fewer friends working in the same industry.
"Wet" capacitors contain any number of liquid electrolytes. Could be something tame like ethylene glycol, boric acid, sulfuric acid, or nastier stuff like organic solvents (DMF or DMA which are poisonous, or GBL which is less lethal).

Nothing as bad as PCBs as far as I'm aware.
Right, but honey and agave syrup can also act as mild adhesives. I'm not sure anyone would consider them an adhesive any more than they would a stabilizer.

Yes, thats the point.
I'm not sure if an attacker could get some additional sensitive information from me with access to the microphone or the camera, if they already have full access to my PC (files, screen captures, keylogger). Most things they would be interested in is already there.

> Do static sites built with sphinx-build or jupyter-book or hugo or other jamstack static site generators work with TeaTime?

I guess it depends on what you mean by "work with TeaTime". TeaTime itself is a static site, generated using Nuxt. Nothing that it does cannot be achieved with another stack - at the end it's just HTML, CSS and JS. I haven't tried sphinx-build or jupyter-book, but there isn't a technical reason why Hugo wouldn't be able to build a TeaTime like website, using the same databases.

> datasette-lite > Loading SQLite databases: https://github.com/simonw/datasette-lite#loading-sqlite-data...

I haven't seen datasette before. What are the biggest benefits you think it has over sql.js-httpvfs (which I'm using now)? Is it about the ability to also use other formats, in addition to SQLite? I got the impression that sql.js-httpvfs was a bit more of a POC, and later some possibly better solutions came out, but I haven't really went that rabbit hole to figure out which one would be best.

Edit: looking a little more into datasette-lite, it seems like one of the nice benefits of sql.js-httpvfs is that it doesn't download the whole SQLite database in order to query it. This makes it possible have a 2GB database but still read it in chunks, skipping around efficiently until you find your data.
2n for me, probably
