I'd enjoy seeing you store "can be provisionally rejected" in a variable, perform some logic upon it, and then produce an output - what would the variable type of the output be?

I said heuristics, not scientific heuristics. Science (the scriptures) has methods and standards, and you are violating them, thus failing to meet the categorical requirements.

I think it is just a generational/educational difference. I learned lock-free programming around the time c+11 was being standardized, and the acquire/release model seems very natural to me and easier to understand and model algorithms in it than the barrier based model.
Interesting, and I love Static Site Generators (SSGs), but as soon as you introduce branching and logic to the page creation, you've effectively ruled out non-programmers. So I don't know how it will achieve the stated goal of "a language for making websites where you can understand how they're made."

The audience you're left with (programmers) will bristle at the DSL and wonder why they don't just use "___" <-- fill in their favorite SSG.

Each of these are relatively tiny. 870k NZD is scarcely more than the average price of a home in NZ. As in many countries, the kinds of expenditures are absolutely dwarfed by military spending. In the case of New Zealand, that's about 5B NZD. I suspect if we go line by line through their budget, we'll find plenty of questionable expenses that could pay for hundreds of social science studies.
That assertion is due to the incorrect assumption that we can’t feed everyone on the planet if farming becomes less productive than it is today, and ignores that we currently produce very large food surpluses.

> They conclude that farming productivity will be reduced by 25% and farming is 4% of global GDP, so it’s 1%. Then they model some effect on the consumer because food prices go up.

> It does not occur to the authors to model impact of physical result of that, which is, famine and political instability that comes with it.

Somehow people making these sort of hypotheticals about billionaires spending or dispersing their money always make a mistake like this.

"Jeff Bezos has 300 billion dollars. There are 300 million people in America, so he could give everybody a million dollars."

For fun, calculate how long the billionaires of America could fund America's social programs if they were taxed at 100%. If you ask people this, the off-the-cusp estimates are usually something like a thousand years, a century, some huge number like that...

Objectively no threat? How do you know? From the article? I didn't see an objective threat assessment in there.

How do you know with enough certainty to bet someone's life on it? Did the other guy pose an actual threat before he caught a bus to New York?

Given what just happened - and, as the sheriff mentioned, how the country has reacted - the default response is not to assume that there is no threat. I'm not sure that it should be.

No offense, but we're not really comparing different things. You're offering an espresso machine that fundamentally has:

* No heating control

* No tank/water storage

* No milk frothing capability

The obvious comparison is a manual (lever) espresso machine that does not offer its own heating capability. It offers pressure control (via your arm) just fine.

Also, besides noise complaints and possibly some questionable reasoning involving vibe pump longevity, I have yet to see a compelling reason a rotary pump is better. They're 'nicer' and offered in higher end stuff, but performance wise a very good vibe pump seems just fine. Flow rates are more than adequate for pretty much any normal brewing method.

Regarding 51mm vs 58mm: you might be correct technically, but the ecosystem around accessories is firmly in the 58mm camp. As far as I can tell, the difference is so marginal it doesn't really matter anyways. Puck prep and other things will matter more for the average user.

Did you look at the article I linked? Even many chemists and physicists think significant portions of their fields have results that can't be reduced. Biology and medicine even more so.

Even if the problem were related to robust quantitative analysis, the question of why so many people are failing to apply particular methods isn't a question for physics or chemistry.
In fairness the person you were responding to was referring to their own personal experience. They certainly are not the first person to conclude that doing non-trivial concurrent programming is too difficult for them. I agree that it is achievable with an appropriate level of care and experience, but I know there are many very smart people that conclude that multithreaded programming in C++ is too difficult for their taste.

Even Rich Hickey, when discussing concurrency in Java/C#/C++ said "I am tired of trying to get right, because it is simply far too difficult."

> In particular, talk about shared state, how we do it today, how you do it in C#, Java, or C++, what happens when we get into a multi-threaded context, and specifically what are some of the current solutions for that in those spaces. Locking, in particular. That is something I have done a lot of, over a long period of time, and I am tired of trying to get right, because it is simply far too difficult.

Ask HN: How do some software engineers "do it all"?
I am constantly amazed by the output of certain people, often ones with some public visibility, for example active in open-source.

How does one have the time, energy and mental capacity to: work their full time job at a prestigious company (presumably with high expectations), create and maintain multiple open source projects, run profitable side hustles, fulfil family obligations and have a life outside of all that?

This is a genuine question. There are days when I'm very productive and days when I'm not so much; but on average, in a given 8 hour workday with a trip to the gym, I often don't have the energy to chase other things that I want. Some days I just can't look at a screen anymore due to fatigue or headaches.

Are some people just "built different"? I already wake up at 5am to do what I can every day. What's the secret sauce that I'm missing?

Sure but people rarely write manifestos.

That said, apparently his manifesto is fairly short and honestly sounds more like a confession than an actual political manifesto.

My point is more that usually when you hear about a killer having a manifesto you expect a lenghty diatribe about what they think is wrong with society and why they think what they did helps fix it - whether it's early 20th century "propaganda of the deed" anarchists, late 20th century "fall of the West" primitivists or early 21st century "race war" white supremacists and "new crusade" Christian nationalists. Of course for e.g. Islamist terrorists you don't even need a manifesto because everyone knows the cliff notes version already (Western imperialism, Islamic caliphate, blasphemy, etc). Instead this guy seems to have largely been upset with privatized healthcare, which is a common sentiment but rarely enough to motivate someone to pull off such an elaborate stunt.

That his manifesto is pretty rushed and incomplete does support the idea that he's more mentally unstable than genuinely "politically radicalized" though. The Christchurch shooter's manifesto for example was fairly incoherent and seemed more like an elaborate trolling attempt than a sophisticated political tract but clearly some effort went into it. Luigi's almost feels like a half-hearted homework assignment. I wouldn't be surprised if he quickly wrote it after the killing on a whim and didn't give it much thought before, which again would fit with my impression that he really focused on the first killing and didn't plan out much beyond that. As someone struggling with ADHD and autistic hyperfixation (not saying either of those apply to him), I can relate.
Remember when hundreds of militants crossed the most secure border wall in any "Western" country ever both on foot, in vehicles and on paragliders and went on to massacre literally over a thousand people including hundreds of reservists before the second most overfunded military in the world was able to put a stop to them and stupidly ended up killing civvies and friendlies in the crossfire because it has a doctrine of preventing hostage taking at any cost?

Remember when the US spy agencies prevented a credible terrorist plot by accidentally catching a guy in the Middle East carrying a thumb drive with terrorist plans on it?

Surveillance exists to maintain control, it can't help establish it. Dragnet surveillance exists to reconstruct events, not to prevent them. And most importantly, it all exists to suppress, not to protect. It's about dominance, not security.

Can you share some technical details on how you did it? Did you train your own model? Or fine-tune an existing?

The option to polish it in figma is interesting. I have made a figma plugin that lets you have 100 people vote on their preference between two figma frames to select the better looking one. Maybe there would be some potential for a collaboration. I imagine your model generating two (or more) logo variations, and then you can immediately find the preferred one through the voting.

It's a logical evolution of how emotional labor is used in the business world. We pay service and hospitality workers not only to literally do what their job description says but also to be nice to people, keep them engaged and create parasocial (or at least one-sided) relationships that make customers come back and spend more money. Live streamers have long deployed similar strategies with the only difference being they profit off of it themselves rather than being paid through an employer (although many employee moderators, editors and even people to manage their social media accounts so they at best only have to engage with a filtered subset of messages directly if at all).

Hot code upgrades on the BEAM are awesome, but they're not a piece of cake. If you're also interested in the challenges of making them production safe, I gave a talk about this topic on CodeBEAM Sto earlier this year:

https://youtu.be/epORYuUKvZ0?si=gkVBgrX2VpBFQAk5

OP talks in the summary about the importance of understanding the process. It's very much true, but you need to understand not only the process your tooling provides, but also what's going on in the background and what hasn't been taken care for you by your tools. I'm afraid these things are rarely understood about hot upgrades, even by experienced Erlang engineers.
Well, it's not really a "map of history", it's more of a historical map. It's useful, sure, but there's more to history than borders, battles, rulers and famous people.

I mean, the problem is the website is designed as if it's trying to hide something from me. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I don't think that's the case, but my, and I think many other's tuned "Something scammy on the internet is going on" alarm bells are going off. So I think that's why the criticism is so harsh.

And generally Show HN's posts are taken as a request for constructive criticism, which I think most are.

This is pretty impressive. Given the following scenario,
"A bliirg is any non-wooden item, which is the opposite of a glaarg. In addition, there are neergs (non-existent things) and eeergs (things which actually exist). Now a glaarg which is also a neerg is called a bipk, whereas a glaarg which is a eeerg is known as a vokp. Also, a bliirg which is an eeerg is refererred to as a jokp, otherwise it is known as a fhup. So the question is, which of those could be used to make an actual fire: a jokp, bipk, fhup, or vokp? Explain your reasoning."
The results were absolutely spot on.
"(...) A vokp, being a real, existing wooden object, can serve as a fuel source. A jokp, being a real, existing non-wooden object, might serve as a fuel source if it is combustible. However, a bipk and a fhup, being non-existent things, cannot be used to make a fire. The ability to actually start a fire also depends on the presence of an ignition source, oxygen, and potentially tinder, which are not addressed by the definitions of these terms."
Any plan to make the project open source?
> I was told that I had the second biggest crowd, second only to a Pokémon bean bag game (which did look pretty cool). Some adults were curious, but most importantly, a handful of questions from kids who wanted to know how I built it. It was especially rewarding to show one off one of the extra targets I brought. One kid even recognized the ESP32 chips and said, “Oh, these are the ones you can make drones out of!”

That paragraph really stood out to me. Apparently, where OP lives, people casually make stuff even cooler than a laser shooting game for a one-off school event, and elementary-school-age kids recognize specific types of microcontrollers.
In this context, "systems programmer" means someone who writes software with tight, direct affinity to the underlying system (i.e. hardware, OS). C and C++ still dominate that world by huge measure.

Presumably, you're thinking of systems in the more abstract sense: systems of more or less pure software components that model some domain. That's just not what this article is about.
This seems overly hostile. The comment is pondering if there are alternatives that a corporation could do when switching license that could reduce their "cost" in goodwill.

Stop treating it like they are demanding open source developers do something or are acting entitled because they aren't. They are discussing how, if a project owner wants something (more goodwill when changing licenses), they might do that effectively.

You don't have to think redis should have been handled differently but that doesn't mean you should derail this person's thread.

Affordable test automation services.
Good morning, everyone!
About a year ago, I embarked on a journey to establish AutomationWorx, a company dedicated to providing affordable automation services to software engineering teams that need it the most. Today, I’m proud to lead a small offshore team of three in Morocco, currently serving one client with UI and API automation, as well as API performance services.
I’m now looking to onboard another client and thought this would be a great group to reach out to. If you know someone who could benefit from reliable automation solutions without breaking the bank, I’d be more than happy to jump on a call to discuss their specific needs. You can easily book an appointment at your convenience by clicking the "Schedule a Call" button on our website.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Thank you
