Is it the language that forces procedural code? In my experience it’s usually the stdlib, but the language itself is capable of declarative constructs outside of existing APIs. If that’s the case, an approach like “functional core, imperative shell” is often a good one. You can treat the stdlib like it’s any other external API, and walk it off as such.
> Trying to solve that prioritisation problem by "sweating" - ignoring employee's genuine and real need for work-life balance - is not going to work long term.

Indeed. Even the words "sweating the problem" just sounds callous and inconsiderate.

It can even work for Google, where can pull in different team members at different times. But in a smaller company that means everyone's work-life balance is permanently stressed.
> If you’re implementing without formally verifying your solution through model checking, you only think you’re implementing it correctly.

This is a comforting idea, but enumerating every possible state of a real-world (integrated/distributed) software system is a fool's task.

Spend less time on formal verification (fancy word for perfectionism) and more time on risk analysis and cybernetics. Instead of praying that nothing ever goes wrong, plan for faults and design systems that integrate human and machine to respond rapidly and effectively.

"Correctable" is a much more practical target than "always correct".

So its an office job? I know people who makes this exact music described in the article and it's part of their daily work to earn a living as music producers. Other musicians play weddings for example. It's not fake. But you don't put your serious artist name on a track like for a chill muzak stream. Music is a product that fills many categories and I salute the ones that can find ways to earn a living doing with their passion.

You cheated and sold out to get preferential placement... Who cares how many streams you got? The metric is meaningless now.
That's very interesting! We're currently working on the plumbing to be able to assign attributes to edges as well—right now it's only possible to style/configure the nodes.

Once we have that though, there is another approach that you can take before you go down the path of writing your own visualizer/view: you can also log custom positions for each node. Since the node positions don't change in your case that might get you quite far by statically logging the nodes with a Sankey layout computed by your application.
In a nutshell, people paying super high rents in elite locations believe there’s a housing shortage and believe they should get assistance for living in super desirable locations.

Calling it a crisis is disingenuous at best. Specifically calling a “affordability crisis” instead of “availability crisis” is telling. People being unwilling to live with a roommate(s) is the biggest driver here. Rent controls are also a significant factor driving market imbalances. Yes of course growing areas need more housing, but it’s not a crisis.
> just a couple poorly timed pandemics can set us back 50 years or so

On what metric? I can't think of anything. Medical outcomes, crime, wealth, none of that stuff has regressed nearly that far. Some social issues might have regressed to the early 90s if you take a pessimistic view of the situation.
"also implies the existence of a Tbb state, with a bbud quark content, that should be stable except with regard to weak decays"

Can someone explain this to me?

Tcc(3875)+ can decay to a D0 and a D+, yes? And this is a strong decay?

I guess the reason Tbb doesn't have an equivalent strong decay to B mesons because of the sign difference -- that is, B0 and B+ would have anti-bs, not bs; and anti-B0 and anti-B+ would have negative charge?

And so the only major decay pathway is for the b itself to decay to a K+ (plus lepton noise), giving a temporary bu\s\u\d pentaquark, that then has uninhibited decays?

I guess what I'm asking is... is this the right way to think about this?
This is the worst building that exists in Boston at present.
It makes sense to me... mostly. The person currently in possession might have purchased it from the thief so taking it from them leaves them in a hole, not the thief.

More broadly I think it does make a certain sort of sense that a theft should be resolved by the police. Find your item and want it back? Get the police involved. It's just that these days we're all so used the police being completely ineffectual that taking matters into your own hands is the only "sensible" solution.

The voice input can really be done however you like, the benefit of a device like the Voice PE is the wake word detection on-device.

I have an office-style desk-phone (SNOM) connected to a SIP server and I can pick the receiver up and talk to the Assistant, but you can plug in any way you like to get the audio to/from HA.

With your phone, wake words are usually locked down by Apple/Google so you can't really have it hands-free, and that's the problem this device is solving; not the audio input itself, but the wake-word/handfree input.

On an Android phone, you can replace the Google Assistant with the Home Assistant one, but you still have to activate it the usual way, press a button or launch the app etc.

...Oh, is that all? Do you know how many things in computing have died because they didn't worry about compatibility? IMHO x86 could stay competitive even if it had nothing but compatibility to offer, though it also wins in other places.

> Performance is often stated as an advantage of x86, but performance per what? Per Watt? Hour? Dollar? Chip size?

Per machine it usually wins, especially on single-thread but also at least sometimes multi-thread, and if you're actually using it (i.e. not mostly sitting idle) then x86 does very well on perf per watt.

The difference is that we haven't spent a century building up police organizations, bureaucracies, processes and international working relationships to track down crypto crime the way we have for "normal" financial crimes.

You would track down this crypto in just about the same way you'd track down a fraudulently ordered wire transfer that was cashed out. Records would be requested, IP's and timestamps recorded, more records would be requested from other parties based on those, and so on and so on. The difference is that it's somebody's job to go after those. It's nobody's job to go after this.

The Mouse has not come back for a third round. Yet.
The fact that it hasn't (widely?) been done yet suggests the answer is "no".

The hardware in those devices is generally better, most of them have much better speakers, but they're locked down, the wake-word detection hardware isn't open or accessible so changing it to do what we need would be difficult, and you're just hoping there's a way in.

Existing examples of opening them (as in freedom) replace the PCB entirely, which puts you back to square one of needing open hardware.

This feels like the right approach to me; I've been building my own devices for this purpose with off-the-shelf parts, and designing enclosures, but this is much sleeker; I just hope an add-on or future version comes with much better audio out (speakers) because that's where it and things like it (e.g. the S3-Box-3) are really lacking.

I strongly agree that in theory these things are unrelated, and there's no hard reason someone couldn't make, say, a bunch of PC models and socketed ARM processors that all used nice standardized interfaces and had the same flexibility as x86... but in practice if you want an open platform today you almost certainly want x86. When some alternative gets its act together I'll be thrilled to use it, but we aren't there today.

I have a pretty low bar - I will never join a company where tech is a cost center. That is - is the code you are writing generating direct revenue for the company?

If yes, then it's in the company's best interest for the tech to at least be "better"

If not, then they just want to spend as little as possible without making it "good". Ironically, investing into talent and best practices actually makes it cheaper

> So I know from being on both sides of the coin (as an H1B and then not needing one but being on the hiring side) there isn't a preference to H1Bs. In fact I'd assume the reverse is true

My experience has been the same but we are just two people with such experience - there is definitely "corruption" associated with this program that you and I personally did not experience.

> Now, H1B's will put in longer hours and extra work without complaint and won't take things like EEO action, legal action, etc. against their employer. But it just comes with the territory that as a visitor in the US you do not want legal trouble and would like to preserve your legal status as seamlessly as possible.

Perhaps... but we do live in a VERY litigious society and I am personally questioning that this is rampant. There are A LOT of highly qualified people that are on the H1B program that won't take sh*t from the Employer. I know I personally 100% would not (I will work LOOOOOONG hours if my entire team is doing the same, I will find a hotshot attorney on Monday if I am the only one forced to work long hours just because I am an immigrant and I am 100% sure there are plenty of H1B's that think the same way. I think we sometimes make an assumption that all/majority/... H1B's come from shithole places and they will do EVERYTHING possible to stay in America (and H1B is probably the most legal way to do so). While that might be true for some, I do not believe it is true for enough people where this H1B wage/... discrimination can be rampant.

> They could just provide the ability to move in zones where that expertise is needed and the minimum expected salary the employer must pay. There are solutions if congress gets off their rear-end and tries to find them.

100% agree with the sentiment of your comment but I do think that this is harder than it appears - if we follow the spirit of H1B program. It can be re-designed into something else, like general "USA has low birthrates and needs immigration - lets create a program where highly qualified people can request to come to work/live/... in the United States..." but IMO this would have to be a different program in spirit to current H1B

Matt's side wanted WP Engine to cover what seems to be the costs of running the entire wordpress.org site but the judge didn't go for that:

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69221176/64/wpengine-in...

> Defendants [Matt's side] counter that a bond of $1.6 million is appropriate. Opp. at 32. They assert that “the continued maintenance and operation of the Website incurs an estimated $800,000.00 in administrative, server and developer costs per year[,]” and that allowing WPEngine to access the developer resources of the Website permits WPEngine to benefit from the distribution of its products on the Website[,] which “carries with it a separate value.”

> [...]

>In reply, WPEngine argues that if the court is inclined to require a bond, “it should be a de minimus amount, not wordpress.org’s entire budget for two years.”

> [...]

> Under these circumstances, the Court finds that any harm to Defendants resulting from the issuance of preliminary injunctive relief is unlikely, as it merely requires them to revert to business as usual as of September 20, 2024. Accordingly, the Court declines to require WPEngine to post a bond.

Only because I bothered to buy a few. If they're making a new account they're probably on a device which can be an authenticator, i.e. a passkey. Is it rare for people to be far away from their keyring where they potentially have a car key and a house key and what not?

Do most people with hardware authenticators not also have laptops, desktops, or phones? They just have an authenticator, no other computers?

This person I replied to already has two hardware tokens. They probably also have a phone that can be used with passkeys, they probably also have a laptop which can be used with passkeys, they might also have a tablet or desktop which can be used with passkeys. That person probably has 3-6 authenticators, and is probably with two of them often if they carry keys regularly.
Yep, that's the exact issue I wanted to address with my own twist on the idea of an online boardgame engine - I was trying to actually persist the callstack of an async wasm vm function (game loop) execution into a database in rust. It is working in a sense that you can implement battle ships or tick tack toe, but I did not quite finish it. Happy to still make repo public if helpful.

To be more specific, async wasm function was implemented as a poll loop sync function exported to the caller, there was (at the time) no way to move wasm mv memory, so it was persisted while the game was live and replayed from a message log stored in a db after/if preemption.

Aren't the news stories subject to survivorship bias though? They wouldn't be as likely to report a boring "sign stolen, thief unknown" story.

Not really. "Survivorship bias" is just the HN cliché of the quarter, and doesn't apply in nearly as many situations as posters on this forum would like.

There were plenty of other stories of campaign signs being stolen, both in the most recent election, and in previous ones. I'd call it more "perception bias." You only know about the AirTag campaign signs stories because you're viewing it through the lens of HN, and not a broader view of media coverage of the issue.
