And really it's not so much fighting the compiler as it's understanding your code better—in ways that help you even when writing C.

The times that you do fight the compiler it will suggest the right thing (add clone, add &, add *, import a type or trait).
This was super fun!
Weirdly, it was harder to play with Elvis and Trump than it was with Stalin. Too bad the game finishes once you convince everyone.

I'm quite surprised by the smoothness tho - considering it's a browser based 3D game using TTS and LLM's, the experience is great!
Yeah exactly. That would be funny. And a real parody.
I miss Craigslist, seems like everyone moved over to Facebook Marketplace a few years ago.
You seem to have some pretty detailed understanding of my hobby projects, and the way I enjoy doing them, considering you know neither them nor me!

> If you have created a hobby project database, you have the skills to learn how to query it - it is probably part of your hobby and fun.

Not at all in many cases. Many existing open source projects these days involve a database for better or worse, and I wouldn't enjoy porting their storage layer to something other than whatever database they already use.

I really don't need more engineering rabbit holes to go down in my life, neither at work nor in my free time. I do so by defining loose boundaries labeled "here be time sinks" and only go there if I'm really curious or it seems enjoyable, but not when I'm trying to get something else done.

LLMs have moved these boundaries somewhat, and I believe for the better.

Woah, your comment is actually the decryption key for Blu-Ray disks.

Eslint version 9 has been causing some headaches, as it broke all existing plugins.
Good for them. They don't have to but they chose to.

What they have done (perform around 100M searches a day) is phenomenal. Testament to their marketing.

Unfortunately as a search engine, it's still just a skin of another one, with some additional small scale projects attached.

It's slightly surprising that DDG hasn't attempted to become a 'real' search engine, rather than being a meta. At the moment they make a subset of Bing's revenue per search, never mind what Google make.
> Assad had majority approval prior to the war (can't find any more recent adversarial polls, which may be telling) and his family has been in power for decades

"Some 55% of Syrians want Assad to stay, motivated by fear of civil war" is not 55% approval rating, it's 55% making the pragmatic choice against civil war.

> maintaining power without relatively widespread support is quite difficult

Strange claim in a thread about the Korean peninsula.
You're splitting hairs. Both are attempts to silence opposition by breaking the rules.

FDR was unstoppable except for when he tried to pack the courts.
Speaking of over-the-top political gushing... But with their usual readership, I'm sure it's an excellent story - by clicks-pay-the-bills metrics.
I was able to easily flip the script on the return scenario to convince the rep that they were the one calling me to return - and then flipped it again. The quality of the voice was great, though.
And there are also businesses with identical names. But the basic idea was already established long before the internet. If you have a legitimate claim to a name, you have a legitimate claim to that name. There may be multiple entities with a legitimate claim to a particular name, in which case the first one that used it in a particular context gets to use it in that context. And if you think that someone is using a name you have claimed in a misleading way or acting in bad faith, you can sue them and let the courts decide.
Both tariffs and embargoes fail to achieve their goals more often than they succeed, but embargoes fail less often.

The only saving grace for the US is the fact that it does indeed possess ample quantities of the materials being embargoed. Creating a national strategy to actually extract them, however, is almost certainly an impossibility because that will require that plans be made by experts who care about the long-term stability of the nation, plans whose durations will span multiple administrations.
lol this is exactly what im trying to understand, you hear this phrase sometimes in yt videos. I mean it doesnt make sense unless probably you are selling a t-shirt for your community, posting a pic of the product to see their reaction, but in the tech industry it seems impossible
If someone says your prices will go up by a factor of five, there's very little if no chance you'll negotiate to anywhere close to the current price.

Also, when someone is barely satisfied with the current offerings, something like this would be the impetus needed to do something new.
The issue here is that Blizzard is well known to be cease-and-desist letter-happy, as SC1 modders found out even before the merger with Activision (IIRC).

I'd love to know what that is and I'm a long term React user myself.
This is absolutely bonkers. South Korea is one of the most advanced countries in the world with a strong democratic track record at this point.

They are very proud of the country they built over just a few generations(and really since about 1990); no way they take this sitting down.

This. Lean on less. I use react and a SQL driver. I have many massive react projects in production.
I guess it's common to assign different motives based on which side did the deed. You know, their crimes are stemming from an innate moral deficiency, our crimes are an exception or the result of external circumstances, not reflective of our core values.

You're calling the line between civilian rule and martial law a hair?

FDR never attempted a coup d'etat.

Burnt meat tastes like burnt meat, people are familiar with it and can eat it, even it is not the greatest thing, and burnt meat tastes like burnt meat regardless of how it was in the beginning, so you could imagine that it was actually good, it just happened to be burnt. Not burnt meat has a wider range, it can taste good or bad, it's like in "dead men tell no tales" :)
If it was a business model then people would charge, but it’s not a business model it’s an ideal that leads to a common good.

There are parallels to funding education and scholarship programs in public universities. Corporations often rely on human resources around office locations and they spend in order to ensure a steady flow of talent development. Funding open source is not that different of an issue. One challenge here is IT/Tech departments are often cost centers that are strictly budget controlled and it’s harder to make a case for non-essential costs like funding open source.
If you want to be an artist then control of your intellectual property is probably a topic you care a great deal about.

Your domain and how people reach you is probably the first lever. If you are giving that up happily, I assume renting without the option to own or leasing a car is a sensible business model to you and you are just experimenting without any real intention of starting.

The effort and time in becoming an artist outweighs by at least two or three orders of magnitude the time it would take to read an article and setup a domain. Namecheap, GoDaddy, all these registrar's do it for you.

Imagine having 900 houses and renting them out to a community of like minded folks.
Whether it is at cost or slightly above, it is "rent seeking" in the sense they own, you borrow.

While it isn't rented, they are squatting on it.
It is not "compulsory", but not doing it is extremely short-sighted, like the equivalent of failing the marshmallow test in a collective scale.

I could assert the same about C since Morris Worm, and here we are.
I mean, audiophiles will gaslight themselves into believing and hearing what they want to hear. There are some areas where ok, maybe there is some difference to the sound, unlikely as it is, but once you start getting into "audio optimized SSDs" and "audio optimized ethernet switches" then it's all a 100% scam(and yet audiophile forums are full of people swearing that they can hear a difference in their audio tracks saved to an SSD that had a few extra capacitors added). So I'm not surprised that there are companies making money off that belief into what is effectively magic.
I've been down that rabbit hole, and while some few select people do it, the vast majority of people doing this rely on PL papers that long preceded the attempt to put category theory in the mix.
That place sounds epic. My dad used to work at the Skunk Works and would go to their surplus yard once in a while (Palmdale) and bring home some kind of piece of equipment for me to play around with. I'd usually take it apart or try and power it on. I recall having some kind of rack mount device that would turn on with an indicator light but did absolutely nothing else. Glad to see a place exists where you can still find goodies like this.

> "I know for a fact "Rustaceans" are getting out of control"

That isn't a fact, that's an opinion. A pearl-clutching, panicky, fact-free opinion framed in terms of "control" which raises questions about who you think should be "controlling" those uppity people who are doing things you don't like.

Seriously - an explosion can be out of control, but other people aren't supposed to be in your control in the first place, right? That's basic freedoms and so on. How is your position any different to any other entrenched social / power structure attempting to control people who want things to change?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Park_Geun-hye so yes
EasyDNS might be a few cents more (literally) than the alternatives, but they're a smallish company and have never pulled this nonsense. (Also their customer support assist in preventing domain hijacks and recovering, which is pretty important if your domain is valuable.)

Porkbun is pretty good, too, but their margin is smaller and domain protection is less of a thing for them.

Google and Cloudflare are very cheap (because it's hard to make money on a dollar profit margin per year) but they're very big companies, so customer service is not quite the same as at a small company.
A friend of our family almost got scammed from a .top domain. They convinced her she needed 'tech support' and transferred $30,000 from her savings to checking and tried to get her to go to the bank to get more money. She got suspicious and got new bank accounts and thankfully didn't get any actual money stolen.

She's retired and it could have ruined her financially. I don't think she realizes how close she was to this.

The software they used bypassed windows defender because it was legitimate software called 'screen connect'. I was able to remove it pretty easily. It looked like a reverse-shell attached to a windows service (small .exe with no front-end).
> it turned into two years (three years?) and people saw right through it

You're still debating the merits of the policy. That's orthogonal to whether it was martial law.
I usually start out by pasting a simple (correct, executing) stub query in, prefacing it with "this query does <general thing I'm trying to do>", and then go step by step: "Filter for x", "now add a join to this other table <definition>" etc., and build the larger query iteratively.

Another pattern I've found pretty useful: "This isn't working. Build a small sample dataset to exercise your query, and I'll paste the results back to you so we can both see what might be going wrong."

Basically, I treat it as an intern, not as an oracle of truth.
In general, minimizing complexity usually pays off in the long term.

My only issue with Go is getting the old bootstrap C version compiled for a new port... so it can build a modern release. In that area, the whole paradigm of needing only Go hits hard as a dependency reality check in some use-cases.

JavaScript frameworks just follow a well known trajectory... =3

> purchasing eggs and dairy from a specific farm (or reputable brand)

What does this even mean anyway? Current system works because of being able to buy from multiple sources through the global supply chains and commoditizing food. Specific farms won't work for 8 billion people.
> every year or so

Every year? Good lord what do you do to those things. I've lived in hard water areas my whole life and have never experienced people churning through coffee machines that fast.

> They'd likely last longer if we cleaned them more often

So yeah, just put some vinegar through them every now and then and they'll be fine and last a decade. Take care of it and it'll last you a long time. If they're burning out and not incredibly scaled up, there's potentially something wrong with your home's wiring.
Rails has Hotwire/Turbo, Phoenix has LiveView, others use various methods like Htmx to get away from the SPA nonsense a majority of us are living with.
They have the most power so they tend to get stuck with the job. I sometimes think we could do with more of an official designed for purpose world police.
This is fantastic. Will use this tomorrow morning and report back.
Well, behaving well (even "fake nice") isn't necessarily "hypocrisy."

All of us, and I mean ALL OF US have dark fantasy lives. Freud called it our "Id."

It's not meant to be worn outside our heads.

One of the common refrains that you'll hear from fans of "hatemongers," like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh, is "They're just saying what everyone is thinking!".

There's a reason that we don't say everything that we think.

That's not hypocrisy. That's being a good member of society.

I have good friends -like, actually really good friends, who hold beliefs that I disagree with -sometimes, quite strongly.

We don't talk about that stuff, when we're together.

That's not hypocrisy, either. That's being friends. We find that there are a lot more values that we hold in common, than in opposition.

Modern social media has made it fashionable to use society as a public toilet for our Ids. I don't think that it has improved things.

Was racism taboo when minstrel shows were popular? I don’t think it was…

There definitely are jokes that play with taboo subjects and derive the comedy from the sudden shock of the taboo thing. But other times people seem to just want to engage in the taboo for its own sake.

Hmm, I wished the author would have gone a little deeper into why Go+Htmx+Templ is better than just rant about why react is bad. Which isn’t even a react specific problem but more of a npm ecosystem one.

I also ditched react on my side projects but for a whole different set of reasons.
That the Democrats lost by a slim margin would not be a landslide if the opposing candidate were an ordinary career politician. That the Democrats lost by a slim margin against one of the most openly unstable and corrupt individuals, never mind his political views, ever to hold high office is what makes it a landslide repudiation of the Democrats.

The Democratic Party's constituency ought to be protesting and doing sit-ins at the offices of the Democratic Party leadership demanding change and accountability with the same fervor they've had in the past protests. Instead, what I expect is impotent mumbling about "voting against their best interests" and accusations about various -isms (lots of luck getting the public to vote when you're calling them nasty names all the time) as they march onward to another loss in 2028.
It maps state to a set of reasonably efficient DOM updates that you generally don't have to manage or think about.

Go play around with Angular 1, or BackboneJS, or try building a working SPA with jQuery, and you'll get a sense of the breakthrough that react represented in 2013.

I personally do believe that there is something fundamentally different about perfect pitch perception, and think of it more like discussions around aphantasia or maybe synesthesia. I followed along with this guy's research years ago on his quest to understand and obtain perfect pitch [0] and was pretty obsessed myself. I had a number of friends with perfect pitch and would do random experiments and quiz them ("ooh, you're drunk, can you tell what note this is?" etc).

From that link:

> For the same reason, absolute listeners do not perceive pitch "height". They do not perceive pitches as "higher" or "lower" or physically "next to" each other. As musicians, of course, absolute listeners learn that, metaphorically, pitches are "higher" and "lower" than each other, because they can see these relationships on a page of sheet music. They also learn that, theoretically, "distance" between notes exists, because you can count the semitones that separate them, and you can see the "distance" between keys on an instrument. But, to an absolute listener, neither "height" nor "distance" has any direct perceptual reality.

> For example, when a non-absolute listener hears a guitar slide, we literally hear something moving down. But an absolute listener's experience is nearer to the color-changing rectangle above. They hear a series of discrete pitches, changing—not moving—from one to another. Although they know the sound has "descended" from their knowledge of the musical scale, the sound does not give them a literal experience of downward movement as it does to non-absolute listeners.

The link has a gif of a box moving through the color spectrum which helps understand the point.

The first version of NT was released July 27, 1993. This document was published August 1, 1993. What valuable first-hand programming-on-NT information would you liked them to have included about an OS that had been available for 4 days?
How many organizations big enough to be using Cisco give all of their employees TAC accounts? This is the fundamental conflict with enterprise IT where the people making purchasing decisions aren’t bearing the brunt of the user experience, so the feedback loop for poor outcomes isn’t very effective.

Cisco could, of course, change that by allowing end users to report problems directly but they clearly don’t want to do that, which is how you end up with people emailing the author of curl because they can’t get support through a more obvious channel.
Of course it's vibes. How would you even get data on that? But just going through life, most of the people you meet now, or met then, are not silicon-valley idealists. Maybe they were if you lived in Silicon Valley? Living elsewhere, everyone I ever knew rolled their eyes at it, and maybe transparently parroted it for the money if their job required it.

But every once in a while you came across a person who seemed to genuinely believe the corporate kool-aid they were saying, usually working at Facebook or Microsoft. These people are horrifying: completely manipulated, willing to not only say but believe whatever it took to, basically keep earning their money. I have no doubt that if the winds in America turned towards some kind of communisty cult-of-personality thing they would be first in line: a true believer of anything that it's convenient to believe in.

(and I'm thinking of the USSR-type of cult here, the type described in Milan Kundera novels here. Trumpism is rather different.)

Stack Auth (YC S24), open-source Auth0 alternative, is hiring Founding SWEs
Hi HN! We're building Stack Auth (https://stack-auth.com/), an open-source managed authentication and authorization platform. Basically, we build your login and signup pages, and everything that comes with that.

You can find our customer pitch elsewhere, so instead I'll tell you more about us and the company. We are developers building for other developers, so you can think of everyone here as a devX engineer. We launched with a Show HN in April, and have been growing exponentially since.

Think of us as a fast-moving open-source infrastructure business. We spend a lot of time thinking about how we can maintain the agility of a startup while being as reliable as incumbents. Sometimes, this means new ideas; for example, we heavily rely on AI and snapshots for our E2E tests, and have API migration tooling that blows everyone else out of the water. If you have ideas like these, we want you.

We've sworn to keep a no-bullshit culture. We're all pulling on the same string; we don't keep secrets from each other and always assume good faith. We want to build the open-source cloud infrastructure of the future; we'd rather die trying than sell out for a quick buck.

We are (very) well-funded by investors such as YC, Paul Graham, Guillermo Rauch, Theo Browne, and Khosla Ventures. Our number one priority is to build an outstanding product that developers *really* love — everything else comes second.

For now, we are exclusively hiring onsite in San Francisco; sadly, we don't currently have any remote positions. Optionally, you can move with us into our hacker house (both temporarily or permanent), but you can live in your own home too.

If that sounds like a great fit, email me mentioning that you're from HN and tell me why we caught your eye: konsti (at) stack-auth.com

Thanks all!
