A student friend of mine was even rejected by landlord who wanted Syrians because the government would pay their rent.

And are they there ... illegally? Or legally?

Are there, in fact, per what you said, "millions" of illegal immigrants being housed and fed in the EU on public subsidy?

I know you said "illegal immigrants and refugees", so I misquoted you slghtly. But the bigger point is -- why conflate the two, when the numbers and overall situations are obviously entirely different? (In particular - while legally recognized asylum seekers might be eligible to obtain housing subsidies, illegal migrants quite definitely cannot).

To be charitable, one can assume there was no manipulative intent, and you were just being careless. But if so, then you'll have to acknowledge that that's why your missive appeared, at first glance, to be well, a rant.

The solution is to listen to their worries and take action to fix them instead of ignoring them and calling them stupid

It isn't the concerns of the voters, but the relentless cognitive distortions we keep hearing about push-button topics such as this one (generally promoted by ideologues and pundits, rather than the voters themselves) that are, for want of a better term, stupid.

(And on the subject of stupid, my initial response contained a horrible typo -- should have said "unauthorized", rather than "authorized").
Which character is this referring to?
I looked at that and I find it pretty funny. As in, why would I ever build error handling that cares about the specific call stack to handle the error? That makes no sense to me. I'll show you why.

Let's say you have the call stack as this (from your example):

f4()->
f3()->
f1()->
ErrInvestmentLost

Great, I'll handle this based on the fact that f1 was called by f3 (in the Java example, you'll just inspect e.getCause() until you reach the desired point in the trace - basically do what `printStackTrace()` but don't print it and instead do your error handling based on it).

But nobody would ever want to do this because it's super brittle. I change f4 so that it first calls f17, which then calls f3, which then calls f17 again, which calls f1 and your error handling based on the call path is suddenly broken.

What is it that you are trying to even achieve by doing this? Proper error handling doesn't depend on the call path. Proper error handling depends on the type of error that occurred and whether you can actually handle it at all or if you just have to give up and throw the error all the way to where it will get logged for a programmer to take a look at why it happened and why we couldn't handle it.

Your claim about being able to handle "all stack traces" makes no sense to me. You don't handle stack traces. You handle error types.

A real world example of the above (taking Java as an example again) might be a REST resource. My error handling should not depend on nor suddenly break, just because someone configured a new filter in the filter chain that sits above the actual resource method. Say someone added in a `AuthenticationFilter` that checks if some auth token is present and valid and that didn't used to be the case. Now any error handling in my resource method that was based on the exact stack trace combination that existed before that filter was added will break horribly.
If saliva transfers from a rabid animal onto the blanket, is machine-washing it sufficient to prevent later exposure? or do you just have to throw the blanket away afterwards?
I've seen a couple of cli apps recently take the path of "config file is long form arguments, minus the --, separated by newlines, overridden by actual arguments", so if you were doing `dsh` (which doesn't support this) it might look like

verbose
show-machine-names
remoteshell ssh
forklimit 4

TBH, I quite like it. Less to memorize, easy to know what to override, etc.
What are you asserting that Angular is doing so special that it specifically prevents sending secrets to the browser in a way that NextJS doesn't already, or couldn't equivalently do?
Claims of 'open' AIs are often open lies, research argues
That’s a great question. To clarify, Enterprises will use whatever works for them regardless of its intended use case or “fit”.

In the case of Proxmox, I believe at the time it was its insistence on operating exclusively in a privileged space (root, by default) that was also incompatible with corporate security standards and single sign-on. In other words, we couldn’t effectively secure its default accounts and operation to our satisfaction. When the dated and overly-technical UX is taken into account (including it defaulting to legacy-compatible options), its weird cluster configs if you wanted centralized control, and its…unique tagging and ID systems, and ultimately it’s a heavier lift to implement than other alternatives with no real advantage of its own.

I don’t doubt there’s some Wizard out there gladly running it across continents and supporting tens of thousands of VMs and containers, but for a transition project from VMware it just wasn’t remotely competitive in my research.

Great for SMBs and homelabs though, if you don’t want to learn KVM directly or fire up Cockpit.

Is that why Amazon's product search is terrible? Because it's more profitable for them when I scroll through 5 pages of junk than if I can navigate immediately to the thing I want?
Are the routers from GL.iNET, which also run OpenWRT, not considered repairable? I love that devices are being built with repairability as a priority; I just hope their performance is on par with less-repariable OpenWRT devices giving an obvious "why not?" to deliberations about switching.
Human Interaction Is Now a Luxury Good
Progress is not linear. For all we know, in 2027 things will slow down to a virtual halt for the next 30 years. Look at how much big science progressed in the first 20 years of the 19th century/20th century and look how little it has progressed in the first 20 years of this century. We are on the downlow compared to the last centuries and even if you look at crisp or deep learning, they are not as impactful NOW as let's say the germ theory of disease, evolution, the discovery of the double helix structure or general relativity was. Almost a quarter of a century gone and we don't have much to show for it.

For reference:

evolution by natural selection as science

HyperNEAT is also really cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNEAT

It uses NEAT to evolve a CPPN which is then sampled at some specified resolution to determine the actual network topology. The really cool thing is the sampling resolution can be varied to scale the size of the network while maintaining the overall "shape" of the topology. I took Ken's neuroevolution course back in the day and worked with HyperNEAT before deep learning got big. Ever since, deep learning network architectures have always reminded me of the dense layered topologies that result from higher sampling resolutions with HyperNEAT. It would be interesting to see if HyperNEAT along with Ken's novelty search technique could be used to evolve useful deep learning architectures.
That was my previous understanding too, but this was the protocol of a large healthcare system.

Their logic was that only symptomatic animals can spread rabies, and once symptomatic they tend to die within a week and display obvious symptoms even earlier.

I guess the risk of delaying 5 days is extremely low, or perhaps nonexistent. At least with immediately recognized contact?

> The idea of EV certificates was good but executed poorly. Maybe a way to link certificated to business IDs.

The idea was bad.

Anybody can open the Dell Flower Shop. They can call their company Dell Inc. and register the domain dell.shop and they're not doing anything wrong, because they're in a different industry and nobody is going to confuse a tulip with a laptop. And then they could get an EV cert that says Dell Inc. -- because that's who they are.

Which is why EV certs are worthless. Just because it says Dell doesn't mean it's that Dell. There can be arbitrarily many companies with the same name in different industries or locations. But then what is the certificate supposed to tell you that gives you more information than the domain name? The average person is not going to know a company's registration ID with the relevant secretary of state, or generally even what state they're incorporated in.

I think anti-vaxxer is painted with a much wider brush than that, and somehow become automatically equivalent to "anti-science"; there is overlap but there's also a lot of non-overlap. Somehow vaccines have become an "all or nothing" proposition which is just as stupid as saying that all medications are created equal.

But in any case, I'm not going to live my life by what labels others put on me.
What I find weird is searching IMG_XXXX directly on youtube returns you a number of videos with such title and half of the results are 10+ year old youtube SHORTS. There was no such thing back then. Just bloody videos! Does Youtube auto-convert short old videos to vertical shorts on users’ behalf?
Yep! Just card stock. For some reason having a white backing behind the image causes worse scans when the bright light can penetrate the image you're scanning and gets reflected internally off that white sheet. I always just put a thin piece of black cardstock on top of everything I scanned.
FusionAuth | Senior Java Software Engineer | Denver, CO, USA ONSITE | 140k-180k

Our mission is to make authentication and authorization simple and secure for every developer building web and mobile applications. We want devs to stop worrying about auth and focus on building something awesome.

There are a lot of companies in the auth space, but we feel like we have something special:

* a unique deployment model (self-host on-prem or in your cloud or run in our cloud)

* A well designed API first approach; one customer compared our app to petrichor

* a relatively mature product (the code base is over eight years old and we've found and fixed a lot of the sharp edges around core login use cases; however there are plenty more features to add)

* founder-led; here's an interview: https://liminal.co/podcast/a-developer-centric-approach-to-c...

* a full featured free-as-in-beer version that makes the sales cycle easier; prospects often come in having prototyped an integration already

If you are passionate about technology and want to join a company moving the industry forward, FusionAuth might be a great fit for you. Our core software is commercial with a "free as in beer" version. We also open source much of our supporting infrastructure.

We are profitable but raised a round recently to accelerate our growth (more on that here: https://fusionauth.io/blog/fusionauth-funding ).

Technologies and standards that we use or implement: Modern Java, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, OAuth, SAML, OIDC.

Show HN: Find active open-source projects looking for help
I do maintain big OSS projects and and try to contribute as well.

However contribution experience can very bad, if you follow the path of picking the most famous objects. Good luck contributing to Node, Rust, Shadcn and etc - they do not need your contribution, their PR queue is overloaded and they can't handle it. Plus you need to get to their internal circles first, though quite complex process.

The world is much bigger. There are so many help required from the smaller but still active projects.

Just recently I raised 3 small PRs, and they reviewed the same day!

As a my respect to all the OSS community, I have build https://helpwanted.dev/ website, which in the nutshell shows latest "help wanted" and "good first issue" issues, from all over github in the last 24 hours.

You would be amazed how many cool projects out of there looking for the help!
Ashby (YC W19) Is Hiring Principal Platform Engineers
I think you left out several layers. At least one of which in the news lately is the PBM, which sit between hospitals/providers and pharmaceutical companies, and are able to exert monopoly power on that market. They have agreements with hospitals that hospitals are only allowed to purchase through them, and then their suppliers are permitted to purchase exclusive access. This results in things like the saline shortage last year, and pushing small local pharmacies out of business. The PBMs also have incredible profit margins, upwards of 80%.

Hey, DeepMind folks, are you listening? Listen. We believe you: you can conquer any virtual world you put your mind to. Minecraft, Starcraft, Warcraft (?), Atari, anything. You can do it! With the power of RL and Neural Nets. Well done.

What you haven't been able to do so far, after many years of trying, is to go from the virtual, to the real. Go from Arcanoid to a robot that can play, I dunno, squash, without dying. A robot that can navigate an arbitrary physical location without drowning, or falling off a cliff, or getting run over by a bus. Or build any Lego kit from instructions. Where's all that?

You've conquered games. Bravo! Now where's the real world autonomy?
> A feature that drags people over is really a new product.

But isn't that a post-facto observation? I mean, any project can work on a complex feature that's a flop, but sometimes a simple feature can go a long way and just tilt the scale. That's not a new product.
Agreed. All I'd say is that these demos look quite limited in their creativity and depth. Good video games are far more than some graphics with a movable character and action states.

A good video game is far more the world building, the story, the creativity or "uniqueness" of the experience, etc.

Currently this seems to generate fairly generic looking and shallow experiences. Not hating though. It's early days obviously.
Both things can be true, and there are real world examples of attacking western science as eurocentrist and what not. The imagined reaction is based on those criticisms.
Your response to Iain suggests that his account of your interaction with a new female colleague (“You know you're a slut, right?") is generally accurate.

Do you really think of that as “saying the weirdest shit ever”? Most people I know would call it overt sexual harassment.

I'm sure you've gotten a lot of good feedback, but a personal message for your kid: I am well into my adulthood, but I started programming from a similar place way back when. I was probably 12-13 when I was self-studying HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Today the web tech stack is way more complicated than it was when I was a kid, but its also way more capable. You can do so much with it now that was a dream - I was into pokemon as a kid and wanted to make a "fan site", which is what got me learning (just to date how far back this was)!

Its great you have so many tools now to learn, and your parents to ask advice. Keep it up, programming is great fun. For me as a kid it was great way to learn and explore and create in a world where I didn't have much agency.

Regarding age, my buddy from college started learning to code when _he_ was 9, on BASIC, another old programming language.

If I can suggest some potential learning resources for when you really want to learn more about code, checkout https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/b.... SICP was fantastic for me. If you're stuck, take it as a learning opportunity, ask for help, and keep at it. If learning a new language is too much for you, see https://sicp.sourceacademy.org/ or search google for other various attempts to port the stuff from SICP to JS world. (note to parents: if you happen to be doing this, my advice would be to set up DrRacket and install the SICP language (https://docs.racket-lang.org/sicp-manual/index.html), also feel me to email me any q's, email address in bio)

My apologies then for misunderstanding, that's how I interpreted your initial request. Can you explain the difference then?

I suggested a path for you to educate yourself, again pointing out that resources are available to you so you can learn things for yourself without demanding them from others.

Anyways, based on this latest comment and your other comments in this thread, you really come across as looking to pick a fight.. You're very confrontational.

Perhaps something to reflect on..

Not true. PBMs are just departments of MCOs, so they are included in the profit margins of MCOs (at the bottom).

>The PBMs also have incredible profit margins, upwards of 80%.

I would love to see a single SEC filing showing this, mostly because there exist no standalone PBM.

Also, YouTube is not a source for financial information. 10-Ks, for example, would be.
I don't think analyzing the black square or Ulysses, or Arnold Schönberg's works (just random examples, I could go on and on) in terms of if and what they make you feel is an ill fated course of action. It's also not what people actually do.

On the other hand a lot of other stuff can be broadly analyzed in terms of making people feel something. Painkillers, excuses, hugs, titles.

So it seems your generalization is neither necessary nor sufficient for "human arts".
I get it, as engineers we value efficiency and truth above almost everything else. But most people are not like us.

They want to be appreciated, acknowledged, and seen above almost everything else. If you call up an old acquaintance and start the conversation by asking if they know of any job openings, you will be seen as someone who only values what they can DO for you, instead of who are they ARE to you. Nobody likes being a tool, they like being a friend, and like feeling that they are doing something good for someone that likes them for who they are.

Now, we ALL know that the call out of the blue to catch up often has an ulterior motive but it's polite (and necessary) to at least PRETEND that the ask is not the main reason you called.
