> younger dev will adopt new tools and learn new frameworks faster

I don't believe this one second. After you've worked significant time in a multitude of platforms, languages, and frameworks, you tend to notice what they all have in common. Van Neumann architecture is pretty much the same everywhere. The principles of functional programming are pretty much the same everywhere. Very little is new under the sun.

Maybe there's a hypothetical engineer that has spent 30 years doing one thing and has "fossilized intelligence". But I don't think that's the norm, and I'm pretty sure that will show up pretty quickly in an interview.
This is my dream. Having enough money to be able to dedicate to things I like, trying to be good at something without worrying about money, or time, or being tired after work.

Open a bookshop, being a rare book dealer, open a small museum about an author, research on a particular topic and write books...

That would be the ultimate dream, though I am sure I won't ever be near to fulfill it.

It's corrupt because they gave us an obvious test:

> In short, an “information service” manipulates data, while a “telecommunications service” does not.

And then completely ignored it for $reasons.

> does that make Netflix a telecommunications provider?

This really makes it hard for me to take your arguments as good faith. Nowhere in common parlance definitions, legal definitions, or court opinions would make Netflix a telecommunications company. You don't even give one here.

> but you get that the "other side" of this issue has even more powerful lobbyists

Yeah but one side is ignoring the simple tests they themselves come up with while the other actually relies on the plain language laid out in the actual law instead of mental pretzels to make an inconsistent and illogical position.
I star repos as a way to bookmark them. I use the star counts as a rough metric for how popular a repo is. Something with a high star count will tend to have a larger community, more support, documentation, etc. Not always the case, but it can be a useful heuristic.
Why do you think EU citizens are confined to the EU?
thanks for correcting me, its been a while since I've looked at the whitepaper
You fixed the rule for your thought experiment to emulate something that doesn't exist. Congratulations, you got the result you expected, and it's completely useless.

Yes, for your thought "product" that has a single quality of "how long it lasts" the "people" that all have the universal characteristics of wanting to reuse it indefinitely and absolutely no practical restrictions to cash-flow will pick the better quality one if they are acting rationally.
> by-and-large catches the most glaring faults.

I did not dispute that peer review acts as a filter. But reviewers are not reviewing the science, they are reviewing the paper. Authors are taking advantage of this distinction.

> if only for the simple reason that putting out incorrect research gives an easy layup for competing groups to write a follow-up paper that exposes the flaw.

You can’t make a career out of exposing flaws in existing research. Finding a flaw and showing that a paper from last year had had cooked results gets you nowhere. There’s nowhere to publish “but actually, this technique doesn’t seem to work” research. There’s no way for me to prove that the ideas will NEVER work —- only that their implementation doesn’t work as well as they claimed. Authors who claim that the value is in the ideas should stick to Twitter, where they can freely dump all of their ideas without any regard for whether they will work or not.

And if you come up with another way of solving the problem that actually works, it’s much harder to convince reviewers that the problem is interesting (because the broken paper already “solved” it!)

> in most cases the core contribution of the research paper is not the code, but some set of ideas that together describe a novel way to approach the tackled problem

And this novel approach is really only useful if it outperforms existing techniques. “We won’t share the code but our technique works really well we promise” is obviously not science. There is a flood of papers with plausible techniques that look reasonable on paper and have good results, but those results do not reproduce. It’s not really possible to prove the technique “wrong”, but the burden should be on the authors to provide proof that their technique works and on reviewers to verify it.

It’s absurd to me that mathematics proofs are usually checked during peer review, but in other fields we just take everyone at their word.
You sound like someone who has been in constant mania from a panic attack for, like, months.

Stop. Breathe. Do something to relax.

You very clearly need it, even if only to center yourself long enough to not throw yourself into the very next thing you see.

Seconded. Give this guy all your money!
As a learning tool it works ok as long as you keep vigilant. When lose the original text though or become over reliant on the LLM results you will make mistakes. I will agree as long as you have lots of contexts the mistakes will be few, but in real human communication context might change fast and span multiple medias.
It's Ruby that makes Rails what it is. Matz combined the best of Smalltalk, Lisp and Perl to produce a language second to none for writing DSLs. DHH simply capitalised on Ruby's strengths.
> Faith has a way of providing inner peace and grounding.

The fact that people can believe things via “faith” that have no empirical basis in reality scares me. It certainly doesn’t provide any inner peace or grounding to me.
I like to keep track of interesting projects. It's basically just a bookmark for me.
I tried for years, and came to the same conclusion. Years. 4 different therapists @ 1.5-2 years each.

Therapy can, at best, help one identify issues and suggest ways to make improvements.

When you know all the issues and can’t make changes, therapy doesn’t do much.
Accidentally recording is one thing, but I haven't been able to find much on how the recordings were sold for targeted advertising.

Found this in another article about the settlement at https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/01/02/apple-agrees-to-9...:

"Some plaintiffs claimed that discussions of products such as Air Jordan and Olive Garden restaurants prompted ads to be served for those products. However, Apple's privacy systems would prevent such targeted advertising to occur based on recordings from Siri specifically."
I also suspect men prefer to compete on status-ladder games of their peers. Younger men don't tend to care that much about old games played by old men. Older men sometimes care about trying to compete at new games (influencer, recent sports or recently rediscovered).

Although sometimes new status-ladders are emergent: surfing is the one I notice because of the type of people I see that say they want to surf.
hah! Clicking "Remind Me Later" for the update prompts works again!
From the other perspective, I use Cloudflare for DNS and HTTPS certificates. Having an alternative that would cover these two use cases without the need for manually running letsencrypt would be enough for me to switch.

I don't want to think about HTTPS, my websites are low risk, mostly static pages (and there are tens of them).
i've recently have been frustrated by the tooling out there to identify plastics in consumer products and just released https://getplasticfree.com/

Recently I’ve been imaging a world where social media algorithms were tuned to help people instead of “driving engagement” with ever more outrage bait. Oh you’re watching clips about machining and by your data profile you’re an uneducated adult? Here are some trade school, financial assistance, and self help links to nudge you toward a better life! What a world that would be.
To me it sounds like he is rich but still hasn't earned enough to be extremely wealthy. The price of an nba team is about 5 billion. Price of a twitter is 25 billion. It's going to take a lifetime of 60 million a year salary to even get in that range. He can keep going if he wants to or retire. There is always bigger things to buy.

I would have taken the 60 million salary and changed the lives of many every year. That would give me purpose.. but that's not for everyone.
> You install an application you are giving it permission to do practically anything it wants to do with your system

Not on macOS, AFAIK. You can add/remove permissions for that.
I understand the interest about this bug, but to my understanding this is an unpaid hobby project?

If that's true I don't feel entitled to expect anything here.
I'm not sure I follow. From what I understand, the issue is that literally all of stdin and stdout is potentially leaked to a globally-readable text file. ssh-keys wouldn't normally be part that leaked information (other than if you `cat` your private key, but by that logic, literally any credentials ever stored in a file or potentially even an env var would be equally susceptible). Yes, anyone with ssh access would have access, but nothing about this vulnerability seems to imply it would allow an unauthorized user to gain ssh access. It doesn't sound like this is something with a specific risk of leveraging into ssh access because the only ones who can read the file are the ones with access in the first place, so there's no more reason to suspect that now compared to any other point in time.
The hedonic treadmill runs both ways. I'd venture many people successful on paper are driven by the need to escape something, for me, it's financial insecurity even though I was never poor nor am I close to it right now. If I were to be as financially successful as this fellow, I think I would soon find myself back to having the same fear\ or finding something to substitute it, regardless, the feeling or mood would be the same
Python and Ruby are both OO.
If you're planning on working there for 10+ years and you are well treated, do glue work. Otherwise do flashy stuff. First, you can change jobs any time to make it someone else's problem, and second, it you can always blame the "unglued" code for any of your own inefficiencies/f'ups.
Kline, a botnet for spamming Libera-newyears
I'm not sure relegating all of statutory interpretation to "$reasons", over applying a common-parlance 2024 interpretation to a 1996 statute, is as forceful an argument as you think it is. Either way: I'm at a loss for why you think the ISP lobbyists are more powerful than their opponents here, since their opponents outgun them 40-to-1.
Switch to reader mode or print preview and the SEO preamble usually disappears
> It seems plausible, but I’m learning to just accept that I am happy learning physics. That’s the goal in and of itself. If it leads to nothing, that’s ok.

This is it, the happy ending. Do things for the sake of doing them.
Lot of good advice.

I'll nitpick a bit.

You can't tell your user to "echo 'awesomecopter' | sudo tee /etc/hostname" if you may have windows users.

And even for purely linux user, "Good: Give the reader a bash snippet that evaluates conditional logic for them" is quite a scary wall of code for a beginner that as no idea why copy/paste that.

All in all, don't confuse "giving the shortest path to a working solution" and "teaching", which both can be in a tutorial, but they have different goals and you should choose accordingly.

I think the "Teach one thing" is probably the best advice in the article, and too often ignored. I remember as a kid reading Swinnen's book to learn Python and having to understand OOP with his example using ions was a terrible experience.

And if you think "well you should have known that, they teach it in school", you are missing the point.

That being said, writing an excellent tutorial takes a lot of work. Way more than a good-enough one. Choose wisely.
I'm going to finally build my beat-aware video player. (Along with a musical phrase-guessing game/training tool.)

I already built a quick POC (to see if the tech I want to use is viable): https://youloop.leftium.com/

Several years ago, I built another POC that does beat-tracking. (However it's slightly broken and I accidentally deleted the source code): https://phrasier.leftium.com/
We don't consider it a masterpiece because we think nobody could do something like that nowadays. We consider it a masterpiece because back then, it was a masterpiece. And we have had time to compare a lot of work from that era and we can say that Da Vinci was worth it.

This particular painting (Mona Lisa) is indeed famous because it got stolen, and that's also why people wait in line to take a selfie with it and completely ignore "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" that is in the next room. But still, its quality is undeniable. As is the quality of the other paintings around. Then of course, you may like the painting or not, that's orthogonal.

Da Vinci started a painting technique called "Sfumato", which is used there. Many other painters used and developed that technique, of course, but it means that Da Vinci created something meaningful there. Famous painters usually had an impact in their time.
I would hate to have that problem.

Probably, maybe, actually it would drive me crazy and bored. But I could find ways to use it.
In my opinion, the most notable feature missing from Terminal.app is 24-bit color support. This is a standard feature in modern terminal emulators, and is one that I enjoy very much. But for many people, that is not a feature that makes a big difference.
And the names of packages to install. Don't assume the imports match it. Check.
fair enough. You're right it is possible. To me it's not worth the unsightly cabling and damaging penetration. I'm currently measuring about 1.5 ms / 0.5 ms SD pings on wifi. I could save 1.0ms on that by running cat5 around my house. But it would be unsightly , and add more penetration through my walls.

It's all about tradeoffs. My efforts spent on running great wifi have paid off.
This cost would lead that less creators would participate in the referral program. Because the only criteria to participate is how much money they get from it. Though, maybe a good thing, I am tired with all the tech reviews glorifying new stuff, like it is an ad all the way. The good sign if reviewer has a ref link is that the review is probably optimized to be the last place you visit before making a purchase.
help more people. Use your skills and resources to accelerate progress in the areas in which you are sufficiently competent. If my startup exits i have zero doubt that I will continue in this way.
I appreciate you bringing up this issue about the Cloudflare challenges making it hard to browse. I had a similar experience where I couldn't access jsfiddle even without using a VPN. As a result, I switched to a different platform for my coding experiments.

JsFiddle used to be my favorite for quickly testing out code snippets. It's a shame that due to Cloudflare hurdles, I've stopped using it and don't plan on going back.

It may not be much but as more websites and businesses lose genuine web traffic like this, Cloudflare might eventually listen and fix this mess.
Yes, that’s why that section stood out so strongly to me, in contrast with the general frost of responses in this thread before I posted, which was, “Oh, you poor dear.” Peak HN in some ways I guess. :)
There's a known issue where the shell integration doesn't respect that setting when it sets the cursor shape. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/2812
i think it's a bit tricky, the surface meaning is extremely praiseworthy and some portion of readers might interpret as someone who has praise for Admiral Nelson but hates the press gangs.

of course, it is a sardonic, implicit critique of Admiral Nelson/the victory, etc. but i do think it is a bit subtle.
> No set of a bit different results or missing exact hyperparameter settings really invalidates the value of the aforementioned research.

If this is the case, the paper should not include a performance evaluation at all. If the paper needs a performance evaluation to prove its worth, we have every right to question the way that evaluation was conducted.
>> "This [comment] is all weasel words."

> The subject was "this", referring to the comment.

While I understand your clarification being the intent, in the original context "this" is in its determiner form and not pronoun form. Would the addition of "comment" have been included, then I believe most (if not all) readers would understand its use as the pronoun form it is often used as well as being associated with the noun form of "comment."

More important than my pedantry was an attempt to illustrate how corrections in this medium can be interpreted quite differently based on the person. As you intimate, my example did not affect you adversely (which is great BTW). How the OP responded to your original reply indicated a different effect unfortunately. I am not judging, only providing my observation.

Hello! I'm a passionate software engineer looking to work in small & fast paced startups. I love taking ownership and writing code which creates impact. I'm okay working in EU/US timezones if needed.
I take some solace by comparing it to what we've learned about the unfathomably complex nanobots and nano-swarms that are biological life: Lots of processes on many levels "work" because they each succeed just barely more often than they fail.

So still kinda existentially dark, but at least it isn't uniquely a human problem or fault.
