Chrome & Safari render it differently but interesting, Firefox is skipping it completely … I‘d need to look into it. Anyway, just wanted to share it :)
That is very much an edge case and won't have any bearing on the countless small LLCs that incorporate in Delaware.

If you have the problem you mentioned, you're on a whole different level than the OP.
A judge might take your $50 billion options package if you incorporate there, a real risk to most of us.
That stays general until it suddenly sharpens, which obfuscates that it's just the Tesla decision driving this idea.

It was interesting to me that it was considered a bedrock of corporate jurisprudence until then.

When faced with that contradiction, I first checked my premises...
Acceleration is a general term for both increases and decreases in velocity. It might also surprise you to know that "incline" functions the same way.
If you only want individual use, Wolfram Cloud is free to use. I think files delete after 30 days or something. Also the Wolfram Engine is a free way to use Mathematica via command line. Hey, its something...
Can you explain that one a little bit more to me, please?

I don't get the first two lines of your example well. They seem to show the dependency but which one is the default task, or how do you ask for a task to be ran?
> I don't know what the chances of a catastrophic viral outbreak being located next to a BSL-4 lab is

Much higher than random. The location of the laboratory was close to the researched organisms, specifically bats. It also means that people had close contact with bats, on purpose, much more than in other areas.

This does not make any source more likely by itself. But there's a decent correlation why we see research on X right next to where we find X.
> Because it takes 1 person ...

It turns out that empirically, in every area, such '1 person' risks are very low, even though theoretically it sometimes seems likely to us.

For some reason we often theorize, we imagine the world, as if homo sapiens are sociopaths. There's also a political/social movement (or set of movements) that require that to be true, and insist on it. In reality, it is very much against our nature to do such things. We are social creatures that live in groups and work together, and have been for millions of years. That's how we survive and thrive.

It would take '1 person' to drive their car over a busy sidewalk or to push you into traffic, but I don't worry about it when I'm waiting to cross a busy street. It would take one to poison your dinner or push you off a cliff when hiking or set a bear trap in a park ... . You can come up with endless scenarios. (And yes, with 7+ billion people in the world, even with very low odds you can find examples.)

Come to think of it, I can't think of other animals that do such things either, including non-social animals.

Almost everything we do, we do in groups trusting each other. It's deeply ingrained human nature.
> I suggest that the Europeans should get over their moral reservations about military industries quickly

Which of us Europeans are you referring to exactly?

Sweden joined NATO and many countries in the bloc have increased spending. In the Netherlands we sent fighter jets to Ukraine to try and help in the war against Ukraine.

This comment is just downright ignorant and condescending. I guess this is how Trump voters view Europe though?
I'm pretty sure of the same, and that feature actually leaks into the implementation. Right after the initial introduction of the current Github Actions, we translated some Azure Devops scripts to Actions and a lot of the structure and most keywords where nearly identical. As well as the interface when running the CI.
Some part of the verbiage here is unscientific. We're in need of a percentage of suspicion that applies to a percentage of jars and whether that percentage of suspicion is based on the presence or absence of certain adulterants.

Otherwise these percentages give more ambiguity than insight about the products.
I clearly got it wrong.
China is of no concern to Europe or the US. Most of their tech is stolen or trickles down from innovation elsewhere. It is unlikely China will find success in the US given the sentiment (antiChinese sentiment is rampant in most of the US). Also, there are many legislations in place that would prevent it. I will mention though that the US and Europe need to get their act together. Too slow on EVs (it took an outsider like Tesla to get it going), and there is still too much reluctance to get the ball rolling. I view the best solution as "forcing" the oil giants to innovate in this sector, but given their lobbying prowess, it is highly unlikely. In a highly democratic society, Shell in Europe and Exxon here would be paying their dues in electric infrastructure and battery tech
> Because it takes 1 person, in an isolated spot to ruin a whole chunk of a network.

If that were true, we’d see a lot more sabotage.
Also:

> Regulators in the UK have not published detailed results of official tests, but rejected claims of significant fraud.

If I remember correctly this was already the situation in Germany already decades ago. At least half of the honey on the German market was (to use the term from the present article) adulterated as EU investigations at the time showed. The investigators was even hidden camera footage with importers admitting they knew this was the case. Then a lot of lobbying money moved around between importers, distributors, and local authorities, and the honey kept flowing.

The labs that did the testing were good for far more delicate work so it wasn't a matter of precision and accuracy, more a matter of Germans loving their honey. Stopping the flow of cheap, even if adulterated honey from China and at the time I think also Ukraine would be a big hit to the industry's wallet. I bet all those involved just told themselves "sweet is sweet" and went about their profit making business.
Well, they might take it if you don't have an independent board of directors, that you browbeat into it, and some shareholders sue, and are able to substantiate that to a judge via a long legal case. In that case, you might be upset, but your investors won't be.

EDIT: Some facts are too dangerous to share, because of how they make people feel.
I think the reason Delaware has been offering its way of doing things for so long may be the exact same reason it's being called into question now. People who had small-town ideals but called the eastern seaboard home might have moved to or stayed in Delaware because they saw it as a place where they could embrace its small-town ideals, but now it's increasingly connected to nearby places like Philly, Washington, DC, and NYC.
I love just, this is such a great piece of software.

I was thinking the other day: why don't we use just instead of Dockerfiles to define containers?
Yeah, one of my best friends is a beekeeper and we get our honey from him. This led to an uptick in honey consumption around here and perhaps not unrelatedly, I got my first ever cavity about six months ago.
I never looked at it but seen some fairly negative reviews here on HN. Any idea why? And why do you like it?
What's _online_ RL for an LLM? Saw this on the llama 3.3 reports too...
That was another one of his companies.

Most likely, SpaceX benefits the most in TX from avoiding California’s EQA.
> The only people who can change it are voters and congress themselves.

Most of the participants in the system are eligible voters, so asserting that voters can change the system is very much asserting that nearly everyone in the system has agency to change it.

(The fact is “voters can change it” is optimistic, because the US is not a direct democracy and, due to gerrymandering, campaign finance, and other factors, only loosely a representative one, being functionally more of a plutocracy. The people who benefit from its inefficiencies and inequities have disproportionate power over its structure.)
The second statement is true; the first is not necessarily the reason.
Boomers are so insanely out of touch with what younger people are suffering through, it’s insane.

In my corner of the world, my own house was built and sold for $15,900 back in 1972. Minimum wage at the time was $2/hr, or $4,000/yr. That means a detached, 2,000ft² SFH on freehold land was only 4× minimum wage.

This is what allowed almost anyone, at almost any wage level, to own a home, a car in the garage, support a SAH spouse and two children, and still be able to take yearly vacations and save generously for retirement.

These days, that same home - 52 years old, now - is 28× minimum wage. A brand new detached SFH on freehold land, as per the above example? Just shy of 40× minimum wage.

To return to that 4× multiple, homes would have to drop by almost 85% in value, or minimum wage would have to be over $150/hr, or $300,000/yr. And the median wage in my region - not even MINIMUM wage!! - is $45,000/yr.

People aren’t going to start families when they don’t have stable and affordable housing to work with, much less the well-paying jobs that put a decent chunk of their labour’s value back into their pockets.
Some feedback. I love that this is open source. I would love it to remain open source, a rising tide lifts all boats sort of thing. But I also want to give money to someone who runs it as a service. Make my problem go away (not me per se, but the ability to buy gift codes and such to help other people who are struggling to find new roles). I am time poor, but am willing to pay to make problems go away. Consider charging to run a platform for users while remaining open source for those willing to run it themselves.
The report spends 5 pages on COVID origins (re-hashing tired old arguments with zero hard evidence), and 46 pages on shit-talking Andrew Cuomo. Clearly, finding truth was never the objective.
> Of 123 honey exporters to Europe, 70 are suspected of having adulterated their products

That sounds better than the rates I saw of good/bad extra virgin olive oil, and you can most certainly find good EVOO at a grocery store; you just need to know what brands to look for. Is there any reason to believe it isn't the same with honey? If not, then that's a pretty far cry from "If you see honey at a supermarket, no you don't, that's sugar syrup".
“Forbidden to talk about”. That’s thought provoking and hilarious. I’m just imagining politically incorrect leetcode descriptions.
The seas are vast. If it were that easy to combat bad actors with strong military presence, piracy wouldn’t have been an issue for as long as it has been.
I think this nails the problem with using that phrase as a rallying cry. There is a difference between people whose problem is that their income is too low to be secure and people who could easily live a secure and comfortable lifestyle if they just managed their budget better.
You write the file and ALL steps are run in topological order so that a job never runs until its dependencies have run. i.e., in a tool I'll have `build.frof` as a separate frof file than `download-dependencies.frof`, perhaps. (If your preference is that those belong in the same file I'd be down to have PRs that support that! Should be very easy, I'm happy to try implementing this if there's interest.)

So for a file with those contents called `mygraph.frof`, you can (after installing) run `frof mygraph.frof` to kick off the jobs in the current shell (inheriting env vars etc).

[edit] maybe a clarifying example here:

They still tell you Delaware; people are upset about the Elon decision.

They still tell you Delaware because Delaware has a long tradition of protecting shareholders from corporate malfeasance.
>The fact this Chinese ship was chased down and stopped before getting too far away was actually pretty lucky.

Were they actually stopped? The linked Reuters article only says:

"The ship now sits idle in international waters but inside Denmark's exclusive economic zone, closely watched by Danish military vessels."

which makes it sound like it stopped of its own accord. It's also uncertain what, if anything Denmark or Sweden could do if it decided to bail.
For coding interviews, the company could make an application form that gives you three simple coding exercises, the submitted code is automatically tested, and when the tests pass you are asked to upload your CV. When you come to the company, you get two more coding exercises of the same difficulty, if you pass at least one of them, you can talk to a human. (This last step is to turn away the candidates who asked someone else to do the exercises for them.)

I'm increasingly convinced this switches cause and effect. Focusing on profit above all is a capitalist manifestation of an authoritarian zero-sum society; in state socialism it manifests as top-down anti-worker state focused on metrics and productivity. (In both cases a major problem is an absence of labor unions and formally independent oversight. People forget that Lenin killed workers who went on strike.)

I get annoyed at "capitalism is bad for the environment" because it ignores the Soviets' environmental devastation, which was done in the name of improving society. The truth is that environmentalism is a distinct ideology from purely economic concerns, and it wasn't until the 60s that environmentalism became a left-liberal agenda item. I think it is similar with authoritarianism versus democracy. Democratic capitalists work for their workers; authoritarian capitalists work for their investors.
I think the animosity is some indication people feel justice was not being served.
It's funny that a company actually choosing to live in California now is so unusual that it sparks a headline and a front-page post.

I had a Nevada LLC when I lived in Las Vegas, which was great up until around 2020, when the state seemed to just stop processing paperwork and the Secretary of State website started going down for ~6 hours/day. They then introduced an CAPTCHA that was impossible to solve any time I tried.

To re-domesticate the LLC in South Dakota (where I live now), I had to manually mail in the paperwork, which then took them several months to process.

It's possible this was pandemic-related stupidness and they've since gotten their act together, but based on my experience I can't recommend incorporating there.
It sounds like you are basing this on a single decision by a single judge facing a pretty unique situation.

Delaware still has the most certainty, by far. You are much better off there the vast majority of the time. Delaware has a court (the court of Chancery) that is specifically geared for rapid and thorough resolution of corporate disputes, with some of the absolute best and judges (the chancellor and vice chancellors) in the country.

If you want to screw around, try incorporating in another state (maybe even one with elected, political judges!) and see how that goes when a real dispute arises.
Are you sure what you believe is unadulterated honey because you are familiar with the taste, is not just adulterated and you are just so accustomed to fake honey that you confuse the two?

I say that because basically all the honey I’ve ever bought in a store has always tasted flat and lacked flavor depth that has long made me wonder about its authority compared to known hive honey.
The fact is you simply cannot trust any data coming out from China.

The Chinese government even routinely lies about their GDP.
For me, the niceties are in the built in functions[0]. Commands to manipulate paths(!!), get cpu counts, mess with environment variables, string processing, hashing, etc. All the gyrations a more sophisticated script is going to eventually require. Instead of having to hack on it in shell, you get cross-platform utilities which are not going to blow up because of something as wild as a space or quote mark.

Absolutely, but the data is not the map, and there are so many average uses of the original data. Organic Maps is so much better than the OSM mobile site, for example, both visually and in providing the appropriate language for the user. And you can contribute useful data back to OSM, so it’s certainly my favourite map application even while I wouldn’t use the original site.

Not soon, this would requires sophistication in software and software development. US has the crown on this for now and near future at least.
> Wait, by "has excellent Windows support" you mean you have to set it to use Powershell or hope `sh` is installed on

I don't get what the problem is here? Do you protest against shebangs too? Why does a build script for a Windows only app need to use sh instead of powershell? I think you're interpreting "excellent windows support" to mean cross platform, and that's not what it means.

> So not only do you need just installed, which is yet another dependency,

Yeah if you want to use some software, your computer needs that software. That's not a dependency. So we're talking zero dependencies, or one of you absolutely need sh.

I do not care about bayonet lugs.
Right, most companies just want you cranking out the code their marketing department has determined as necessary, they don’t care if you grow, prosper, are happy, or any of those things.
When this tool becomes as available out of the box as POSIX sh (i.e. practically everywhere, including embedded systems and containers), then this reversed argument will make some sense. I'm willing to bet anything that POSIX sh will still be with us 50+ years from now, and 'just' will be long forgotten by then. You really should have a stronger argument for introducing another dependency into your build process (and onto your developers) than "it has a slightly simpler syntax compared to the industry standard".
Buy from a bee keeper if you care that much. The "cash only old dude with a stand" filter will fail.
Yeah, you are right. Though I am not worried about latest and greatest. We can easily run everything on Sandy Bridge from 2011. It's the other stuff that is underappreciated.

Everything has chips in it. From thermometers through vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, fridges, doorbells. And that is just consumer stuff. The machines that make the goods are full of electronics too. All infrastructure, from water to red lights, medical equipment...

We got a very, very small taste of it for cars in last crisis. And nobody is building fabs for legacy chips... Except China.

Did people in the US really stop buying VWs because of the diesel emissisions stuff? Almost nobody in the US buys diesel passenger cars anyway. I could not care less about a cheat on roughly zero percent of cars sold. Diesel emissions could be totally unregulated and it would not make any difference -- nobody buys them anyway.
I would think for longer run cables, a majority of the run is at a depth, such that anchors don’t even go that deep (except once you get closer to land/shore )
I wonder how far into the seafloor you have to bury a cable such that it’s beyond How deep an anchor can reasonably penetrate (even if the anchor is being dragged).
I’m sure this adds quite a bit of cost to the fiber run anywhere you have to bury it, however, I know I’ve seen systems that use a sled and water jets down on the sea floor to bury the cable as it’s run.
Gun control laws certainly aren't settled. I'm passionate about them, but I'm also passionate about people taking an attempt in one state and broadcast it as the standard. Especially when that standard term is also defined federally as something entirely else. Time will go on, these discussions will continue to happen, and we'll have different outcomes. It's fine, and thanks for taking the time to discuss it with me.
They also still tell you Delaware also (and why they tell you this particularly in law school) Delaware has the most well-developed body of corporate law, meaning (policy preferences aside) how to achieve particular goals with formal structure and outcomes of particular decisions are most predictable when Delaware corporate law is being applied, which mitigates risk for all parties.
I wonder if the cable could be enclosed in some sort of container whose shape would make an anchor glance off its surface.
Nevada is fairly business-friendly. (I have a business in NV.)

You are right to avoid Delaware, after the judicial activism with Elon Musk.
Elon moved to Texas, which may have been because he has a launch base there.

Wyoming does not have a lot of infrastructure, but if your business doesn't need that, it may be your best choice.
The thing I see people getting wrong with live coding interviews (speaking as an interviewer) is that their code rarely matters. If you write some code, I might ask "So what kinds of failure modes will this code need to account for?" Whether you named your variables well or wrote comments didn't matter. If you can't talk about your work or explain your thinking or discuss tradeoffs or question constraints or show your thought process, that's what's going to fail the interview for you. Getting the exact right solution is bonus points, but the job isn't to consistently get things 100% right writing code by hand.
You probably won’t launch an entire product line out of your own sheer will, but you can totally push for smaller scale work. Push for creating a tool to improve your team’s processes, or push for a few feature within an existing product. Focus less on the “entrepreneur” aspect and more on the “build fun and autonomy into your work” aspect. If you’re trusted and respected within your organization, you’ll probably be able to push through ever-larger projects (assuming they’re not net-negative). This probably isn’t a working strategy if you’re within your first year, but if you’re a respected senior engineer who wants to scratch an itch, you’ll probably have much more success.

Or, if you work at Google, push for a new chat app. It’ll probably be approved.
