The ICC recognizes Netanyahu as a war criminal. The UN recognizes and denounces the genocide taking place in Gaza.

Just because you want to be ignorant to reality doesn't make you correct or worth listening to. There is nothing to allege. The genocide is happening, it's well-documented, no matter what you choose to believe. Take your bootlicking drivel somewhere else.

And no, you're missing the point. Thanks to our Bill of Rights, we currently are able to publicly denounce the genocide. That doesn't mean I'm free to disentangle myself from the economic pipeline fueling it.

Just because you can point to some amount of freedom doesn't invalid the fact that going against the status quo opens you up to state and social violence. Reread my post.

> “less taxes, no wars!” party just won the US election

Surely you have an ounce of intelligence to recognize that it is purely lip service, and both parties are considered far right by any progressive standards.

Trump, like those before him, works for the elite, and gives them tax breaks, while letting the middle class take on the brunt of the taxes. He is also pro-war, just like his opposing candidate Kamala Harris was.
Hi, author here!

I think that is a very valid criticism. I wanted to keep the article concise, but I should have elaborated more on why Go+HTMX+Templ solves the dependency management fatigue.

As I said in the article, it is mainly anecdotal evidence, i.e. the experience from having to maintain projects with either React or Go+HTMX.
For example, in the Go+HTMX project I handle state management and routing solely with the Go stdlib (which is very very stable IMHO), I don't have to ever worry that a dependency update will force me to perform painful refactoring work.

Maybe in a future article I can expand on these points, thank you for the feedback :)
Glad that one landed, thanks!
He doesn't understand what a sprite is, or really the motivation behind sprite sheets. To him they're just animated images he made in a tool. Internally he switches the "costumes" of characters (terminology he got from Scratch I believe).
Always interesting about how people get angry about headlights in the USA.

Being from Europe, the European ones are superior. They go further and they are brighter, and have a different cut-off: ECE vs DOT: https://i.ibb.co/ryf8W0w/dotece.jpg

When I lived in Europe (Belgium) every year the beam height was checked on my car. That way I wouldn't blind people when driving behind them.

Here in there US there are no such things, yet cars often enough get headlights replaced which aren't adjusted afterwards. Or people install a lift-kit which hasn't been taken into account when designing the vehicle.

Now I wonder if the Macan has different lights in the US vs ROW, as the cut-off isn't something that is easily changeable, and it would massively increase the cost for something that is never activated.

But having the same bulbs makes sense.

That said, I looked into replacing the headlights on mine, but then you end up with a Frankenstein's monster car, as parts of it are US coded, and parts EU. I did get EU mirrors.
Please tell me you don't have an army of chainsaw cat-bots at the ready to serve the cause!
A tip to those playing: You don't have to wait for the enemy to attack before you go again. You can spam your attacks. Combat pauses while you answer the question so take your time doing the math, but you want to select your next attack very quickly so you can do more attacks than your enemy.

My 2080Ti at half speed would still beat the crap out of my 5900X CPU for inference, as long as the model fits in VRAM.

I think that's what GP was alluding to.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday transactions decline for first time in years
Its a turn based game, but turn order isn't enforced. So it gets confusing if you attack out of your turn.
That’s an interesting hypothesis but doesn’t explain how Google consumer products suck too yet their cloud offering and in-house made HW is fairly high class.

Similarly there’s plenty of sloppy in house software at any large company and they still produce good products in areas that matter to them (eg radar at Apple is both terrible and amazing, their internal directory app was a mess, etc).
That made me chuckle. It is like showing how good my programming language by building an interpreter.
> The fact that none of these highly accomplished individuals want anything FP-related in Go says far more than what typical Go-haters want to think it does.

Does it?

I'm not a Go hater but just because they were involved in making the things you listed doesn't mean they would do it again with Go. It just means they don't trust others with different languages.

I don't think what you said refutes people's perception of Go, which is its a fairly limited language that is good for keeping people on rails (like fresh grads). That might make sense for a large business hiring lots of people but maybe not for small companies.

Also there is a world of difference between FP features and the basic features people asked for in Go (like generics).
> Memory, for example. Is it even possible to retain a first person memory for hundreds of years?

It's not. But it's fine, because it's not even possible to retain memories of typical lifespan or even short one or even a decade or even a year. You lose way more than 90% of it and the rest gets largely altered anyways.

> Also, I'm curious - did you find yourself having to constrain your use of C in order to make sure that the compiler could compile itself? Or does it implement everything you would use naturally anyways?

That would be the "bootstrapping" process. Nearly a half-century ago I took a compiler lab class where we were given a working, but slightly lame, compiler, and were tasked with adding new, less lame, language features by bootstrapping. That is: 1) implement new feature without using the new feature, 2) using the compiler that results from step 1, re-implement the feature using the new feature, and compile again. 3) Repeat with more features until end of semester for best grade.

Oh, and to the OP, well done!
thanks for checking out the game!
If you can't think of any specific examples on your own, then you're just not really trying very hard.

Try driving while not white in certain cities and see how free you feel. Try being a naturalized citizen or first gen to see how free you are in certain cities. Try being a female and looking to make your own health care decisions in certain states. Are these less vague allusions enough for you?

Freedom does not mean the opposite of being in jail. There's a lot of freedoms that are taken away from people purely based on race/sex whether you want to call it baiting or not. They still exist as problems.
You don't have to think most people are murderers to make murder illegal.

If the regulator is wrong or corrupt 1% of the time, it's good that the victims have legal recourse. The existence of that recourse will also make the regulators more likely to do honest work.
Besides his solo album "The Drop" and perhaps his production of Coldplay, not really!
It needs a culture change. The magic words:

"Our customers prefer the product works over getting a new feature, so let's ensure that at any cost"

Number of features is a dial. You turn that down. You turn the operations (devops) dial up.

There is nothing modern about releasing half arsed shit... we been doing it since the dawn of civilization.
And you know this for certain, because the architects of the fabricated dossier and those who were willing to explicitly lie about Hunters laptop told you as much.

I assume it’s also Russian misinfo that a Ukrainian energy firm gave Hunter a board appointment and a million dollars a year, which he spent on crack and hookers and prolifically recorded himself doing both. It must be pure coincidence that the pardon Joe issued for him goes back 10 years to cover that period, in addition to the more recent tax fraud and firearms offences. Pure propaganda! I know it is because the bad orange man’s opponents say it is.
fixing the charge-confusion is on the plan.

Thanks for checking it out!
There is no such thing as "government death panels" under any proposed universal healthcare system.
> Low Latency Commit: Avoid the high write latency of direct log writes to S3 by using Raft replication.

I'm wondering how does Raft replication avoids high write latency
Omg that's an expensive Christmas. Glad to hear everyone was alright, but that cost is insane.
that's a dumb management "cart before the horse" problem. I understand a few bugs in the driver but they really should have gotten the driver working decently well before production. Would have even given them more time tweaking the GPU. This is exactly why Intel is failing and will continue to fail with that type of management
You would also be free to travel to another country to pay for that care.

It absolutely can cost that much in America. I see you're not familiar with just how expensive medical treatments in America are.

As a non-us person, I can't understand how medical bill works in the state.

Sure I'd rather have $1m in FAANG shares than SF real estate over 10 years but maybe I am wrong.

Especially as SF real estate relies on NIMBYism that might change whereas FAANG relies on an enormous brain trust, branding and monopolies.
Someone has reached out to me seeking housing assistance for 7-10 days in the Davis, California area. If you are in the area, or know someone who can facilitate providing temporary housing assistance for a student, please reach out via email I posted. Thank you.
Yeah bought some Ultramax 400 last week. Two rolls….$25. Yikes. Might switch to bulk rolling soonish. Portra 400 is about 16-18/roll at the moment. It’s crazy.
I knew a little C, but I learned about sockets and files (and later databases) and various other things but hacking on DikuMUD, CircleMUD, and SocketMUD, and later writing my own MUDs.
I still have a couple digicams, between the fact that they don't ping cell towers, and let me manually and quickly adjust exposures between shots, they still have a lot of value for me.
Your 14 steps appear to be 'create an IAM user'..?
The same is true for many non-urgent medical procedures: you're probably better off booking a flight to Europe or really any place, rather than doing it in America. Even out-of-pocket, it's frequently cheaper to fly somewhere else and do the treatment there than to do it in your own town in the US.
No, I don’t. No new deps server side. Htmx and Alpine are self contained. They have no transitive dependencies, they don’t even require a build step. Worst case I can just vendor them.

Only mostly.
so you're saying that a huge market?!
Curiously there are around 6 cases reported in India in the recent years, with varying degree of confidence in the diagnosis. With 20000 confirmed death per year in India, this could mean that survival rate is in fact 0.01% and not 0.00%, it just looks the same unless you have a huge sample.

Another interesting question is: how many people get infected, then recover, but never develop the symptoms? Do they exist? Could it even be common? On that question, the chances of developing symptoms after a confirmed rabid bite are estimated to be between 15% and 60%. What exactly happens to other 40%? Does the virus fails to get hold and multiply? Or on the contrary it's not stealthy enough and triggers the immune response that defeats it? Or it starts to spread and then stops for some other reason? And whatever happens, what exactly determines it: truly random chance, or genes of the infected person or variant of the virus or type of the bite?

Currently we identify rabies with the terminal stage of the disease and the only reliable test is posthumous, so no wonder it's 100% deadly. While it's indeed extremely deadly it's still a curious question of how much exactly this "extremely" means: 60% or 99.99% or 100%.

Probably this will never be studied, because the humane way is to conduct none of that research and just vaccinate every suspected person within reach. Plus where possible try to eradicate infection reservoirs like the did in the Alps in 1970s. These 20000 people in India could've lived, it's a shame really.
You can turn any programming language into a super productive “low code like” development platform by adding the necessary libraries/frameworks.

I personally use a code generator to generate more than 90% of the C++ and Javascript code that a typical biz client/server application needs. Protocols, Database support etc. Using libraries to do what isn’t application dependent.

And when I occasionally (rarely) need a new feature not supported by the code generator or libraries, I simply add it as needed.

I highly recommend building your own code generator/libraries. Yes it takes a bit more time up front, but you get a solution that is tailored and perfectly shaped to your (team) needs. And you don’t end up depending on some open source project that has been abandoned or changed in a direction that you don’t agree with.
I did feel like that for the first couple years, but I feel like it's a separate effect from feeling like it's still 2000.

I have been building a platform https://github.com/claceio/clace for teams to develop Hypermedia based internal tools. One of the main criteria for the technology stack and the feature set has been making sure apps can be maintained easily, after six months and after six years.

Settled on using Go HTML templates, Starlark and HTMX. Go has a great track record of not breaking backward compatibility. Go templates are widely used by ops teams, any breaking changes there will cause ops teams to revolt. Starlark is somewhat widely used by build systems (like Bazel), any breaking changes there will cause build engineers to rise up in arms. The HTMX 1.9 to 2.0 upgrade was also painless, no changes required in my test apps. Only change required was to update the way the websocket extension is resolved.
Yep. Any large GenAI image model (beyond SD 1.5) is hideously slow on Mac's irrespective of how much RAM you cram in - whereas I can spit out a 1024x1024 image from Flux.1 Dev model in ~15 seconds on a RTX 4090.
We here. Most of us (by age) at least. We have witnessed the entire lifetime of the useful internet. We saw as it rose and became useful and we are seeing it sink into the mire of easily-generated shit and become useless. We saw web search become a force for good (information availability) and we saw web search become useless trash. As the cost to produce shit drops, it will only get worse. The internet had a good run. The future, if any, is in closed communities by invitation only. However, that isn’t the Internet we knew and loved. <hat off in respect for the departed>
Seems like you are objecting to a sentiment that doesn't exist, or is extremely Fringe.

People understand that sex carries a risk of STI, and that smoking carries a risk of lung cancer.

Who is demanding someone else fix their mistake? And why do you find this offensive?

Drug researchers and pharma companies are not being pressed ganged into servitude to develop cures. They are happily developing products to sell.

Does it bother you that people want to have promiscuous sex and be free of STIs? If so, why?
They failed primarily for pricing reasons. They could make a low power CPU competitive with ARM (especially back then when Intel had the state of the art process), but then they wanted to charge a premium for it being x86 and the OEMs turned up their nose at that.

Samsung still has a fairly competitive process and could make x86 CPUs to put in their own tablets and laptops without having the OEM and Intel get into a fight about margins if they're the same company. And with the largest maker of Android devices putting x86 CPUs into them, you get an ecosystem built around it that you wouldn't when nobody is using them to begin with because Intel refuses to price competitively with ARM.
It was indeed quite the success, but there were a number of MUDs in the 90s and 00s that would hit 100+ regularly. The MUD I mostly played at that time (WoTMUD) was hitting 200+ regularly for awhile.
I think the intent was "Godot isn't going to make it," a reference to the literary character; but tweaked into incomprehensibility in order to condense the headline. Read it as "Godot isn't coming."

I don't know what "Godot" represents, in this context — AGI? A sustainable business model? — but I guess the same can be said of Beckett's Godot too. :)
I think it massive improves your odds of a unicorn. But a regular old business aiming for a humble $10m valuation based on profits, of course not.
I was at Etsy after Dan left, and I think it scaled pretty well from the few hundred engineers when I joined to closer to 1000 when I left. Etsy's engineering culture had a lot of problems, but they weren't caused by empowering people. If anything, being encouraged to work cross-functionally built a lot of empathy and understanding for different roles and hats in the org, and made a lot of engineers a lot more effective.

There were some annoying parts of the ultra-permissive culture. Sometimes you'd need to literally beg people to stop YOLO-committing code into your UI component because they're not checking how it looks with your flag enabled and they're breaking your A/B test over and over and you just lost a week because you need to restart it. But we gained more than we ever lost.
Maybe it depends on the station? Classical California (KDFC) has few ads. Also, since classical music are relatively long, you get fewer interruptions between songs.
I would argue that in fact you do need a critical mass of ego throughout the ranks of engineers in a large organization. An engineering culture where engineers don't care inevitably leads to abdicating responsibility for overall system health and even data/workflow correctness as PMs attempt to steer the ship without understanding the implications of what they are asking for. Once this has gone on for a while, the system will be so intractably broken, and the dead sea effect will have caused such a brain drain of all those capable of fixing the problems, that at some point there's no economical path to restoring the software systems to a healthy and maintainable state. At that point you might as well just call in the private equity guys and figure out how to extract maximum cash out of the business as it stands, because any code change becomes more likely to break more things than it improves.

So yeah you need ego. That said, it must also be tempered with the reality of needing to compromise enough to satisfice all stakeholders (including both technical and business stakeholders of all the different flavors). The beautiful thing about software engineering though, is there is a reasonable amount of objective facts, metrics and tradeoffs, that given a critical mass of sufficiently skilled and mature engineers, common ground tends not to be too hard to align on. Or at least, far easier than to get a non-technical stakeholder to understand the long-term implications of a bad decision.
Yes, look at 5G and the iot stuff they're adding.

Awesome Job! The animations on the characters are really great and do a lot to make the game feel more alive.

Here's some ideas for improvements you could make:

- Add a button to go back to the main menu / exit the battle, I keep hitting the home button instead

- Add some sort of indicator to make it clear when an attack is charged. Also maybe some hints as to how attacks are charged in the first place.

- Consider moving the question input to inside the game instead of the alert

- Try playing around with the colors to make text easier to read.
Converge (YC S23) | Senior Full-Stack Engineer | Full-time | Onsite | NYC

Hey HN!

We're a team of 4 that scaled to $1M+ in ARR.

Our founding engineer and I are the only ones building the product right now. There's so much to build and a lot of responsibility to take on over the end product.

Converge makes it easy for marketeers to understand where their customers come from, cut unprofitable channels, and scale when things are working. By vertically integrating the modern data stack (Segment, Fivetran, BigQuery, Looker, etc.) we can offer them a 10x better product experience.

Back when I worked for an F500 company, my development workstation was every bit as locked-down as a phone. Complete with having to select any software I wanted to use from the company's internal "app store" rather than installing it directly.

"Sorry, you have to branch first."

"Sorry, you have to submit a pull request."

"Did you complete your peer code review?"

"Did you close the associated Jira tickets?"

"Did this pass your test harness?"

"Are you having this built and tested by your CICD bot?"

"... is this project's architecture even approved? Sorry, you need to submit this to the architectural review board. They meet once a month."

Come to think of it, I'm now recognizing why coding used to be more fun.

All power of any sort leads to abuse, power is basically the potential someone has to abuse and a disturbing chunk of humanity enjoy being terrible and will misuse any power they have.

But the problem with governmental/military/policing power is that people see abuse and their solution is often to try and create an even more powerful entity to fight it. Which should seem really stupid to anyone who has identified that the concentrated power was the problem in the first place. There are also less obvious problems with choosing conflict as a strategy; we should all be on fundamentally the same side.

Interestingly enough, many MUDs don't actually explicitly support the telnet protocol (but some do). It just so happens that a telnet client would generally work, even if it wasn't the most suitable.
