I‘m sure it‘s factual and common, but it‘s tone-deaf given the slide deck title.
Are assets versioned by URL (/path/to/foo-1234abcd.js or /1234abcd/path/to/foo.js) or are they updated in-place (/path/to/foo.js, but now containing 'const version="1234abcd";')?

If the first one, if you don't do it already, your reload header could act like a "preload" header ("Htmx-Preload-Root: 1234abcd") and tell the client which assets to start pulling even before a logical navigation click, so that they're hot in the cache when they eventually do that navigation.
For performance, hot paths are the only ones that matter.
The ATF changed the rules on private sales. If you make a penny on the private sale, you need an FFL.

They killed this guy over it.

All this was legal a few years ago. ATF decided to change the rules.

Also, they wanted to completely ban private sales, but a whistleblower blew the whistle and hopefully stopped them.

Did a charity work for my money? No. They just supposedly will (but possibly not) use some of it for something aligned with my interests. Just like giving my money to my children.

Because it does exist, but it's not free. Jetbrains Datagrip has been around for a decade and has connectors for most database archetypes (mongo, sql, redis, duckdb, etc).

Biggest limitation right now is its lack of support for vector style databases like Lance, qdrant, etc.
Alternatively don't introduce incompatibilities in decades old formats. Even if you can somehow convince everyone to accept \n, older software exists and this will only serve to further erode how well things work together. If there was a good way to go back to these format and fix things, the line ending would probably be pretty low on my list.
Is it possible that those two statements taken together means truffleruby can run rails 8?
The idea is good but:

1) Paid model, $10 for an email on timer? Copilot, Spotify and Windsurf charge the same. Won't pay on principle THIS amount of money for a service which is done self-hosted in 30 minutes with ChatGPT, neither will a normie buy paid calendar, no offense. $1 is realistic, still you're gonna be profitable and much more scalable imo. Trial period of 2 weeks is mandatory

2) I almost never read mails, plus email notifications are inconsistent if you're not inside an ecosystem, e.g. Apple/Google. For me it is not a reliable way of communication
> Genie 2 can generate consistent worlds for up to a minute, with the majority of examples shown lasting 10-20s.
I've lived in LCOL, MCOL and VVHCOL cities in the US. Just because everything is outlandishly expensive in the bay area, that doesn't mean the same is true everywhere in the country. In large swaths of LCOL and MCOL areas, your money absolutely goes further in all the areas you listed.

I would suggest, though, that if you didn't grow up in the bay area and have family property here, as a relocation target it should be considered similar to gold mining. You're moving here for work because of the amount you can save [as a result of ludicrous tech compensation] and then use elsewhere, not because it makes sense financially to actually be living here.
>I wouldn't be surprised if New York passes new gun control laws because of this shooting; I wouldn't be surprised if there's a congresscritter or White House Staffer or judge who's assassinated in the next several years causing some kind of martial law situation. It's scary times we live in right now.

This is most likely going to happen with an incoming authoritarian gov't anyway.

Do recall that one Congress critter, that is very pro-gun was shot at a baseball game, survived, and still stood against gun legislation. We'll see if things change if the wind shifts and more rich people (the Congresscritters' owners) are targeted.

For the most part, my résumé only has my professional experience on it. To see more of what I've done, please visit my work summary at https://www.amecy.com/work/ . In particular, if you play chess, check out my chess training site at https://www.checkmatechamp.net/ . That site runs on the Google Cloud Platform and uses Python on the backend. The frontend is a mix of vanilla JS and OCaml (using js_of_ocaml).

My experience at startups has helped me learn how to build systems, and how to keep them running, simply and with minimal resources. (For example, as of this writing, Checkmate Champ has been running for 845 days without my intervention.)

I have learned a lot of languages over the years that I never got the chance to use in a professional setting, including Lisp, OCaml, Haskell, and Smalltalk. If you are using one of these, I would love to hear about it.
raku is amazing. It's perl to the power of perl. Which is why I adopted it. I used perl for its power and expressiveness, and for its layering (never having to learn the entire language at once: one feature at a time is fine). Raku does not disappoint and is a stellar successor (and I'll never know the whole thing :-).

Regarding your oath, it's been 10 years and perhaps you are better now at learning language features. Raku's documentation is very good ... but a very different format that perl. And raku doubled down on regex documentation and structuring ideas (which are completely applicable to refactoring somebody else's regex). And the usual forums are excellent at helping with raku questions.
I'm really surprised that we don't see violent action like this from terminal patients who have nothing to lose.
For a while I was doing an art project where I was attaching small placards to telephone poles. At first, I was nervous that I would be confronted about this, and made purpose built, discreet hand tools for this purpose.

I quickly realized that nobody on the street gives a shit if you just walk around with an electric impact driver screwing things to telephone poles. Maybe things where you are are different, but the police around here really aren't interested in interacting with anything that dispatch didn't tell them to interact with.

There is nothing wrong with "eating the rich", because if something were to happen to the rich, they brought it upon themselves, since they control the governance via lobbying, special interest groups, media, corporations, NGOs, etc

We should absolutely normalize "eating the rich" discourse, to remind the elites that they are not better than the common folk, so that the system can self-correct without resorting to the violence that can break apart society completely
Nothing in my comment argues against the existence of bees either.

I have some opinions on the matter, but arguments about unfalsifiable traits aren’t really useful, especially since you’re not going to be convinced, nor I.

I don’t personally believe that we’ll get much further with regards to general intelligence with statistical models, specifically.

I think a lot of the purported progress towards “intelligence” is personification bias and a little bit of p-hacking. Many of the papers that are published and spread aren’t peer-reviewed or all that reproducible.

We’ll probably see some very useful models made soon which focus on narrower text generation tasks and achieve pretty good results.
>People were not rewarded with more compensation for working harder.

Nit: they had worker’s medals and similar non financial recognition.

However yes, the price paid for labour was far below the point to ensure supply met the demands of economic development.
State is not a country and European countries are not states...their federal governments handle their healthcare and etc.

That's my point the US's federal government would be handling free healthcare directly or indirectly thru the states. As well the amount of money Americans would have in their pockets would be a lot less and that's not after over 300 years are what we are use to. Recent election shows the majority does not want change in many regards.
I think you have something here in how it relates to a fourbox “looking right” or not. Thanks for sharing.

Curious, did you write all this out for this comment? I appreciate it either way because I was truly skeptical at first but kept reading thru the end.
first the government will take 50+% of everything he leaves to his kids. if there is still significant funds that he leaves them they will 100% become bums.

he should spend every penny he’s got to spend every minute he can with his kids - especially while they are young. and his kids will say the same.

Aha! Finally, a perfect spiritual complement to the Gervais principle:

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-...

According to Rao, every company survives by blending some combination of the following populations, varying by stage of lifecycle:

- Sociopath = people who know the game and play it to win

- Clueless = people who buy and spread the story the company is selling

- Loser = people who accept the wage bargain, generally exchanging low devotion for minimal advancement

This maps nicely to OP's quadrants:

- Sociopath = grinder-grifter

- Clueless = grinder-believer

- Loser = coaster-grifter

- (Coaster-believers get fired.)

Hello, I'm Java/Kotlin engineer with over a decade of experience, from big corporations to startups. I have mainly worked with Java and Kotlin and used other programming languages in different projects. I have experience with microservice architecture and public clouds like AWS. I know how to design, build, and maintain working solutions. I prefer practical approaches and simple solutions.

From March 2025 I'm looking for a new project, where I can contribute and make a change.
I am under no “illusion” that prematurely phasing out a large percentage of a nations power generation , will reduce the amount of power generation available…
This is an incorrect interpretation of the AGPL. You do have the freedom to keep forks to yourself. You're only required to present source code to people who can use your program (directly or via the network).
Since John Carmack actually ocassionally posts on Hacker News this seems like a valid @JohnCarmack

If comprehended correctly, Half Life, Half Life 2, CounterStrike, and Portal are all using Carmack's code for “Quake” from 1996 and Romero's flickering presets from 1993 “DoomED”.

The lights themselves have 26 positions, a = 0 = OFF, and b-z = Various ON brightnesses.

This is where some of this starts getting a bit confusing.

In "world.qc" [1] the top comments note:

// Setup light animation tables. 'a' is total darkness, 'z' is maxbright.

However, "r_light.c" [2] the comment instead reads:

// light animations
// 'm' is normal light, 'a' is no light, 'z' is double bright

The first [1] sounds like b-z = 1-25 = 4%-100% brightness. The second sounds like 100% is at 'm' and then upward toward 200% at 'z'.

The code in [2] is also rather confusing with:

k = i % cl_lightstyle[j].length;
k = cl_lightstyle[j].map[k] - 'a';
k = k*22;
d_lightstylevalue[j] = k;

and later on:

scale = d_lightstylevalue[surf->styles[maps]];
r += *lightmap * scale;
lightmap += ((surf->extents[0]>>4)+1) * ((surf->extents[1]>>4)+1);

It looks like it's taking the frame you're on, mapping to a letter in the cl_lightstyle, subtracting the letters from each other using C's 'char' subtraction, so 'm' (13) - 'a' (1) = 12, multiplying by 22, so 'm' = 264, and then using that as a lookup into a scaling factor for the lightmap?

This is mostly a bunch of deduction since this is not even kind of a language I write in normally (QuakeC), with a bunch of odd features being used. Does this seem like what this code is actually doing? It seems like something must be wrong, cause 264 for "normal light" is not something you'd normally expect. Even the 'map' function usage is a little weird, since C usually does not have a 'map' function.

Expect it's hidden in the code somewhere and looks something like:

// Map function
void map(int *arr, int size, int (*func)(int)) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
arr[i] = func(arr[i]);
}
}

Anybody with greater amounts of QuakeC or Quake modding experience (maybe Half Life ect...) able to comment on what this actually does?

Also, vaguely hillarious, everybody's favorite light is:

// 10 FLUORESCENT FLICKER

And the light constantly goes:

lightstyle(10, "mmamammmmammamamaaamammma");

The light is literally crying like a child. Maybe that explains some of the infantile FPS player behavior.

I wonder if that is actually tru. Because interestingly enough my youtube account is the only remaining link I have to the internet of the past. Created in 2006 and I'm still using it.

I'm not aware of anything else that has persisted since then. Old email accounts, forums, games - everything is gone now and inaccessible for me.
The widespread adoption of code formatting tools has rendered the very argument somewhat pointless. I don't even know which identation most of my code uses - my editor autoformat takes care of that.
IDK this is my experience over the past few years with 10+ appointments with two specialists and three PCPs in the SFBA; my understanding is that it is typical in this area and becoming typical in other regions of the U.S. as well.
I think that's the correct reading. What the system does is its purpose; an equivalence.
All of machine learning is AI. It's a subset, by definition.

At that point, it's not really the company that's the problem...

Your comment is interesting to me as a comment further up sates that: "People move from China to India despite the higher prices in America precisely because the increase in wages is more than enough to offset the higher prices." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42321211

So while expensive holds, the low wages does not.

> no safety net
There are safety nets in the US, just not one singular one nor is it always easy to apply or get benefits.

> car and health insurance are mandatory
What countries don't have mandatory car insurance?
Which ones don't have mandatory health insurance?(Universal health care doesn't count, as that is mandatory and taken from taxes.)
Further, you can eschew health insurance in the US. Many people do(for various reasons, cost being one of them), it is just not that wise of a move as healthcare here is very expensive.

> gun violence is rampant
We have pockets of areas where violence, not just gun, is rampant. I think a fairer analysis shows that it is the intersection of poverty and also drugs but I can not speak fully to this topic.

>the government is a dictatorship disguised as a democracy.
Is this talking about the current government(Joe Biden?), the future administration(Donald Trump) or the administrative government(deep state?)?

I would agree that our government is not functioning as well as it could, I am also not sure if I have seen any other governments do any better.

Japan: Due process with police holding suspects and trying to force confessions.

South Korea: Recent Martial Law issue

France: Numerous protests occurring

Great Britain: Prime Minister just told all farmers "If you don't like the changes we have implemented, you can leave." Protests and counter protests with violence on both sides but police seem more focused on arresting people for social media posts.

I can't think of any recent issues from the Scandinavian countries but that is more likely due to my lack of exposure to media than lack of issues.

Please let me know which countries you find to be great.
Article: "For all its economic power, the US has the largest income inequality in the G7, coupled with the lowest life expectancy and the highest housing costs, according to the OECD. Market competition is limited and millions of workers endure unstable employment conditions."

That's pretty stark. But the U.S. outperformance on GDP growth and productivity growth is very real over the last 5-15 years especialy and has been documented in numerous stories like this. The looming questions seem to be

1. can Europe maintain its social benefits and living standards with such anemic growth (that is, is the goal of more humane and equal society compatible with a robust economy)

2. can the U.S. preserve its competitiveness and overall GDP performance if it imposes more regulations/taxes designed to reduce income disparities, provide more social services, etc.
> Most are unlikely to emit toxic or greenhouse gasses but they're nevertheless still dangerous because they're often very deep vertical shafts that a person could stumble across and fall in.

That's a problem in Germany as well [1] - particularly in NRW, where most of Germany's mining activity is concentrated for centuries. About two or three times a week an old shaft collapses somewhere in Germany, leading to sinkholes - there's tens of thousands old mine shafts in the country and information on a lot of the legal ones got lost in one of the two world wars, and on top of these come quite the lot of illegal operations. Usually the damage is in some remote area, some forest or whatnot, but in some rare cases, entire buildings vanish or have to be condemned.

Anecdotally if you are a lead footed driver switching to an EV can result in tires that last less than 5,000 miles (8,000km), even with "inexpensive" EVs like the Model 3 and Mach-E.

This is the sort of thing that can be alleviated with software, but that won't be satisfying to the people who like the sensation of being pressed into the back of their seat the instant the light turns green. At least with an EV it isn't accompanied by noise pollution.
But what about a bingeing habit?
CEO pay is an outlier partly for their vision/talent, but primarily
because they individually take the hit whenever a subordinate, no matter
how far down the chain, fucks up publicly.
So there is no evidence.

The simpler explanation is that political Party A proposed legislation, and political Party B attacks it because a win for Party A is a loss for Party B.

And digging into just slightly further makes the claim make even less sense:

> Palin's spokesperson pointed to Section 1233 of bill HR 3200 which would have paid physicians for providing voluntary counseling to Medicare patients about living wills, advance directives, and end-of-life care options. Palin's claim was reported as false and criticized by the press, fact-checkers, academics, physicians, Democrats, and some Republicans.

Why would managed care organizations (aka health insurance companies) oppose the government paying for more healthcare services?

MCOs earn 2% to 3% of the premiums that flow through them. The higher the healthcare spend, the higher the premiums, the higher the profit for MCOs.

That page mentions support for noSQL databases, but it looks like this open source version only supports SQL. Just want to call that out for clarification.

Is the long term intent eventually to have parity between the open source desktop app and the cloud version (at least in terms of database type support)?

Makes sense to me, the range input is effectively acting as the label here, it just happens to be an input as well. Best (better?) of both worlds.
I think the parent post was referring to the anti-environmentalist aspect of the new administration. They're not going fund remediation efforts while attempting to dismantle the EPA.
What the reasoning behind generating tests until they pass? Isn't the point of tests to discover erroneous corner cases?
