It seems a little unfair (and wasteful) that you didn't consider simply using decent third-party software on the TP-Link hardware you already owned, but rather bought new hardware and then started using third-party software. ASUS consumer networking hardware is no higher quality than TP-Link consumer networking hardware, and neither of them (nor anyone else operating in the consumer networking hardware market) provides high-quality software out of the box.
none of those activities need involve conscious decisions, however
Nice to see someone taking a swing at a C++ GUI framework. Implementing a real on is not for the weak. If it's really works, it'll be expensive to license.

You should read about the non-delegation principle and why it exists. As Wikipedia says, “It is explicit or implicit in all written constitutions that impose a strict structural separation of powers. It is usually applied in questions of constitutionally improper delegations of powers of any of the three branches of government to either of the other, to the administrative state, or to private entities.”

What you are proposing is that Congress be allowed to abolish its own power, completely destroying the constitution.

I don't think open source GUI toolkit developers should be expected to handle accessibility until OS vendors spend some of their billions of dollars to develop a reasonable cross-platform API.
vim bindings are even more QWERTY-centric, no? That's why I skipped it after a brief look, many years ago: having to memorize a lot of unfamiliar key commands was bad enough, but coming at it as a lifelong Dvorak user, the keys also seemed to be scattered incoherently all over the keyboard.

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42451726, this is much less of a thing than before.
It absolutely floors me that this isn't already illegal.

I've been to healthcare providers that charge one a reasonable amount until you've hit your deductible and then they charge a higher amount. That was a real eye opener.
It might be the right move. I’ve noticed a lot of oddities with my top of the line TP Link Mesh routers. Limited ability to configure it compared to past routers (not many advanced settings). Forced use of a very sanitized app instead of a browser based panel. Forced updates with no ability to use the admin panel without accepting the update. And so on. It works and is high quality in a way, but I also don’t trust it. Unfortunately a lot of these issues aren’t visible until after you buy it.
Yeah don't buy this stuff on eBay or Amazon. Buy from a reputable vendor.
Wouldn’t pure data based definition scheme enable all of the above in any case?

If the underlying model is tree, then any graph based configuration data could be used to build it.

I mean underneath it could be implemented using the api as is, but as a C++ dev I don’t see any compelling reason to be interested in this.

You can do the most astounding things nowadays in 100fps. I’m not sure if manually handcrafting object initialization trees to a ui framework is something I want to do as a developer in 2024.

This is not intended as a put-down! This must have been enormous amount of work.

I would love to hear the rationale for why exposing the user API as a class structure like this - I’m sure there are good reasons and would love to hear them.
It's not about the one factory and it not being on elected official's radars is exactly the problem of why it didn't get fixed (+ it's easier to cause damage than repair things). As another person highlighted, Trump gutted the USDA [1]

> During the Trump administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers published and funded objective analyses of issues such as climate change, the efficiency of food assistance programs, and tax cuts that mostly benefit the richest farmers. It wasn't received well.

> Trump officials proposed deep cuts to USDA research agencies. When Congress wouldn't go along, the administration came up with plan B: Move two agencies — the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the Economic Research Service — far away from Washington.

Doing this gutted the ability for the USDA to execute and stay on mission and this was intentional. This kind of outbreak would be the natural result.

And so there's a vast amount of social cognition taking place which is unaccounted for in the 10 bits/sec.
But on the other hand, a "fast" debator from a high school debate team can process 260 words per second while compressing that down to notes, while simultaneously queuing up meaningful responses, while evaluating which/what to go with for a particular audience/judge, while listening for mistakes from their opponent. If you distill bitrate down to serialized responses to a canned psychometric task, sure, but why do we think that's the total throughput? It isn't, trivially, if we inspect what people do every day.

I have serious doubts about the statistical controls you can do in the presence of very obvious and large confounders. Especially when the thesis doesn't seem to generalize particularly well (as they admit). Is there something cab drivers do, which is radically different from the numerous other driving occupations?

Personally I find these very broad studies extremely uninteresting. Without making any accusations, having large,very broad datasets, make it very easy to find something, when there is just noise. What makes me despise it even more are the headlines it generates.
If a supply shock doesn't drive down the price then it suggests that the supply constraint was larger than than the shock and that the market was being artificially constrained to prevent the prices from rising to meet demand.
An alternate framing to disambiguate between writer and character:

1. Document-extending tools called LLMs can operate theater/movie scripts to create dialogue and stage-direction for fictional characters.

2. We initialized a script with multiple 'agent' characters, and allowed different LLMs to take turns adding dialogue.

3. When we did this, it generated text which humans will read as a story of cooperation and friendship.
The program exists to get skilled workers into the US. It has done this well. There are few other programs to get them in and onto a pathway to permanent residence and citizenship. STEM wages don't exist in a vacuum. Increased utility to the US economy is more important than them. The US government rightfully determined that having people like Elon Musk here makes this nation more competitive. Likely the effect was also to increase software engineering compensation but that's harder to tell.
That was this court, the Roberts Court.

And further, the 5 in favor was the conservative wing of the supreme court +Ginsberg -Roberts. The reason Roberts dissented was Stare decisis.

There is an interesting question underlying this scenario - is working in a cutthroat culture "normal" in the first place? If you needed stimulants to succeed there, and are trying to now live a healthier life, does that job even fit in that healthier life? Or should the answer to your question be more along the lines of finding a new role where your productivity meshes better with the expectations?
The biggest loop hole for not being allowed to hire non citizens or permanent residents is not the H-1B. It's actually B2B contracts that have absolutely no restrictions what so ever.

At least the H-1B lets us keep some tax revenue.
The new administration will likely reform USCIS around eligibility criteria rather than speed of processing and these reforms will be undone as quickly as Mayorkas is gone.

Sure, but we should be clear that it's speculation on future behavior (sound as it may be). That has not happened (yet). Some MNC's succeed in not killing the goose that lays the golden eggs (I'm also speculating)
I love Rust error handling and wish it would have been the default in Go (too late to shoehorn it), but it has nothing to do with exceptions.
That's a sign of how accepted it has become to say that you can't find any local workers that know Python when filling out the H1-B forms. The requirement is there but it's normally overlooked.

It's gonna be a much better ballpark number than the before-tax number is in almost all practical scenarios. So yes, I do think that would be a massive win compared to the status quo.
Kinda cool, I've never seen these techniques all in one place before. Growing up, I thought that SNES mode 7 scaling was so cool:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_7

The article mentions about halfway down the page that what made the 80s road rendering technique possible was racing the beam. Where say an Atari 2600 would toggle the color at certain pixel counts as the TV's electron beam swept the screen, producing graphics that seemed otherwise impossible from such underpowered hardware:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_the_Beam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJFnWZH5FXc

Some engines allowed for say 8 hardcoded sprites this way by toggling colors at each sprite's position, with various rules about overlapping, so sprites would flicker sometimes when they were next to each other.
It looks like the price is $1200, as that's the price for the cheapest practical combination of options. An airline could advertise this as $1200.
> Bootstrap and Sass already solve this problem for the web.

In a vacuum, sure. But products aren't all built in a web-centric vacuum.

> That's irrelevant, isn't it? I mean, do you run apps straight out of Sigma/Sketch/Framer? Do you also think it's reasonable to call out Photoshop/Gimp/MSPaint?

Figma/Sketch/Framer are design and prototyping tools. They are _very_ relevant in how we build products. The back-and-forth between design and engineering leads to better outcomes if both sides speak the same language, and their tools allow them to do so.

(Photoshop/Gimp/MSPaint aren't so relevant un product design)

> Do you think it makes any sense to bundle everything together?

Not everything. You generally want folks using your products across iOS, their car, their TV, and a web browser have a coherent experience. This doesn't mean that everything needs to look exactly the same. It means that key design decisions can be distributed across the board.

I see a problem in the fact, that you don't know which team you will be in.

In my opinion this is the most important question. The best offer probably is the one where you learn more. Usually, it is the one where the most sophisticated team members are in, given that these members are not occupated 100% of the time and you can participate.

It's a hard decision, but if you have no family I'd probably pick the higher paid one. Working more usually means learning more. However, try to find out if the bad WLB leads to a toxic team. This could be very frustrating and even unhealthy in the long run.
Why should OS vendors spend money devaluing their product? It's up to the cross platform software developers to make abstractions that work across platforms, not on platform developers to make things that work on other platforms.

Just seems absurd.

This solution makes the AirTag bigger. Might be okay for a photo bag, it's quite cumbersome for car keys and dogs. Besides, your phone will warn you when the battery is getting low. I always keep a couple of 2032 batteries on hand and soon as I get the low battery warning I just pop a new one in.
> Suddenly in-network/out-of-network cannot exist.

...I don't think that's true.

There would presumably still be some providers who charge more than others. The insurance company will need to set a limit on how much they're willing to pay for a given service. Providers who charge above this limit are out of network; other providers are in network.

I do still see the benefits of what you're proposing, but the question remains of what happens when you're accidentally at an out of network doctor.
Exactly this. I don't want my source of hardware to dry up, but I'd love if ISPs wouldn't allow the stock firmware to connect to their networks.

I bought a pair of TP-Link units specifically because OpenWRT ran well on them. If I had to get something more expensive, I might not decide to keep a cold spare.

I wonder if this is the standard that drove Charles Stross slightly insane and led to Accelerando.

Actually based on the timing, this is probably the new better standard that replaced the obscure protocols of the 70s.
It works ok-ish. It works significantly better in almost every other country in the world. Yay for status quo bias!

> You know where you live, you know what your local sales tax is.

No, I in fact don't know, because I have better things to do than to keep up with what my city and state have extended sales tax to this month, what carveouts exist ("no sales tax on unhealthy snacks except ice cream" and stuff like that) etc.

And there is absolutely no excuse for in-person stores that do, in fact, have perfect a priori knowledge of all of this.
> agencies can make rules but they must give their reasoning and supporting evidence--and anyone can challenge such in court.

I think that's already true, except that you probably need standing - you need to show you're affected by the rule - to sue. There are many rules around rule-making including against arbitrary rules, guaranteed public comment periods, etc.

I’m not talking about the underlying model, I’m talking about the control flow. What I mean is errors are explicit values belonging to the signature of the functions.
"Keyv": A Key-Value Storage for Rust
The type of protocol (message type, bitmap to define fields, followed by a set of fixed and variable length values) is pretty normal for the time it was developed in. Many low level things are basically packed C-structs with this type of protocol. It comes with some pitfalls on the receiver side to be careful validating dynamic field length and refusing to read past end of message or allocate an infinite buffer. But all of those are well understood by now.

What I find baffling is that this "standard" does not specify how to encode the fields or even the message type. Pick anything, binary, ASCII, BCD, EBCDIC. That doesn't work as a standard, every implementation could send you nearly any random set of bytes with no way for the receiver to make sense of them.
We process information at the rate we do because that's what works for adaptation to our environment. That's how all biological things develop. Some things are remnants of old adaptations, but generally speaking, we are the way we are because that's what enables our survival. If it seems "slow", it's because it doesn't need to be faster.

Better questions would be, why are we so weak? Why are we defenseless? Why are we hairless? Why do we move so slow? Most other mammals our size are much better equipped for survival. Obviously other beings "perform better" in many ways. Yet our fleshy, weak, slow, gangly, shivery bodies are suited for thinking, for adapting, for communicating and collaborating. However unoptimal or "slow" these authors think our brains are, they are obviously perfectly capable for what they need to do, seeing as we dominate the entire planet.

In any system design, every decision tends to be a tradeoff. You can gain CPU power, but it will cost you energy, heat, and probably stability or longevity. You often do not know what a "feature" will do until you add it. So it's wiser to only add the features you need to accomplish your immediate goals.

If at some point in the future, our survival is existentially threatened by our lack of "processing power", our brains will adapt. Until then, leave well enough alone.
I've always heard it as there's enough textual/historical evidence for Jesus (Josephus, etc) that if we didn't count that as proof of his historical existence that would raise the bar high enough to remove hundreds of other historical figures.
This might be the worst possible way to measure the net throughput of conscious decision making I've ever seen. A wildly ecologically invalid, serialized discrimination task.

Now take someone navigating a social situation with three simultaneous participants, actively listening, coordinating body language, interjecting, responding to questions... and you have a human being operating at a "bitrate" of information that is so many orders of magnitude removed from this bullshit psychometry task as to prompt the question: "what the actual are they talking about".
I would interpret that as all of redeemed humanity, not just all Christians.
An LLC May be treated by election as a disregarded entity (p&l flows directly to your own person just like a sole proprietor), sub c (if you’re anticipating going public), sub s (if you’re not), sub k (good for capital intensive stuff where you can get loans that are no recourse to the partners) or other sections of the code (think 501(c)).

LLCs are extraordinarily flexible from a taxation point of view, but without shareholders or a board of directors and lacking articles of incorporation, they are distinct from corporations.

Ask HN: Anyone on macOS 15.x having issues with gevent/greenlet?
Been debugging an issue with a colleague for a few days now and we are coming up empty handed. Most of our production app relies on gevent. The application works on macOS 12.x, 13.x and on all flavors of Linux ... but as of now 15.x is causing some very hard to debug issues. I get a sense this has something to do with the way gevent is patching things like `socket`. Instead of seeing immediate feedback like a failure to connect to an external resource, the app just silently hangs/fails.

I am reaching out here as a last ditch effort to try and see if anyone else in the community has experienced issues specifically in regards to the combo of macos 15 and gevent.
How do you know that's "unnatural" and not an indicator that it's a very hard problem to organize people to behave in non-toxic, non-exploitive ways?

Many adults, for instance, do end up receiving bad treatment throughout their lives. Not everyone is able to find jobs without that, for instance. Is that simply their fault for not trying hard enough, or learning a bad lesson that they should put up with it, or is it simply easier said than done?
No, it would definitely not. There are a number of false positives, but significantly less than all submissions. It also specifically highlights areas of concerns along with a cross-reference for me to review. I would not be able to do all this manually.
