> When money is tight, new bets look bad

It's not optical, it's just bad. The risk adjusted returns for bets need to cross the interest rate threshold and when rates are high, the number of bets you can take must drop.
Replace the bug report system with a maze of menus so as to reduce the reports.

I hope Canada does not go the "Trump" Route. But from people in Canada I know, they think that is distinct possibility.
It does seem a little sloppy, but the actually interesting part of Apple Intelligence isn't out yet so I'd withhold judgement, even on the initial release.
As someone with no knowledge of the topic, why was electrical reform needed? Wouldn't one assume that either party motivated to do it while in power would be doing it with the goal of positively affecting the outcome for their party in the future? It would seem weird for a candidate to reform how voting works knowing it could negatively affect their side, right?

Even Word Perfect was much, much better at this than a typewriter. What made it hard to use was that you had to memorize a bunch of special function keybindings, as I recall. Yes, GUI word processors were much better than this, but even Word Perfect looked compelling compared to using a typewriter.

I wrote a bunch of papers using a typewriter. Standard operating procedure was to plan out the complete paper, basically as a tree of bullet points (I used index cards), and then turn those into sentences at the typewriter. All the writing/reorganization had to happen before you sat down to type.
This is good news. His government has been dysfunctional for some time now. It's unfortunate that he held on for so long, as we needed a government ready to deal with Trump yesterday.
Try using Shazam on the music, interesting result..
All the Canadians that I talk to (including some CBC news employees) have been insistent that this was an eventuality and also that he would drag it out to do it as embarrassingly as possible.
This type of experience was literally the main driver of me getting a Quest 2 at the beginning of covid. Its remarkable how FEW experience there are like this out there.
100% agree unfortunately, haha

the default system prompt is quite weak, and could be much more specific / better.

also, even as a "human" can't decide sometimes what is a bait...
The code editor is for the EYG language and implemented in Gleam. So that's a blocker. The editor is probably far enough along to have a crack at it by EYG would need some UI or web library so that EYG was able to build an editor.
We have two left parties that votes are split across, and a single right party.

This means the conservative party often ends up getting more power since they're "first past the post" even though the majority of the population may not agree with them.
I thought about this a few years ago. It made more sense back when WebAuthn was a thing but Passkeys weren't; when you had to just accept that buying a new phone meant losing all your WebAuthn keys. In that scenario, WebAuthn made sense as a UX improvement to the standard magic link auth flow, allowing users to use the faster, more convenient WebAuthn authentication method on devices they've already signed in on at least once but without having to rely on it as the primary means of authenticating.

Now that Passkeys are a thing they are much more viable as a primary authentication method since you can lose your phone or switch PCs and still have access to them. But as long as you're allowing pass(word|key) reset using email anyway, it certainly doesn't hurt to have magic links as an option.
I'm not sure how pervasive the permissiveness principle is.

I'd guess instead that one of the reasons why Russell called love of power the strongest unquenchable desire is that power gives a person the ability to get people to behave in ways the person wants.

Plus, some people just like to meddle, to stir things up and watch the pain.
Yes, once they can not lead their party effectively they will usually resign. It has been building to this over the last month or so.
> I also cannot write this language, like I am not close to grokking it.

The hallmark of any good esoteric language. :)
>been dysfunctional for some time now

It was always dysfunctional. It's just that it wasn't noticed early on.
So far it feels very unfinished, but having followed Apple for a long time I've seen many products launched and iterate over time. Maps, for instance, had a fairly disastrous early period but eventually became my preferred navigation app.
> If you have any modicum of site reliability experience, this seems like an unsatisfiable set of constraints. It seems literally impossible, yet here they are claiming that they have done it.

His first instinct was right. It seems impossible, because it is. Unless I can run the entirety of the "Private Cloud Compute" on my own hardware in my own firewalled network, I 100% believe that the pipeline is compromised; our data is siphoned off and sold off to advertisers, especially now that they know they can do it and get less than slap on the wrist: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42578929
Hi, author of the article here. I do most of my drafting of these longer articles on a Freewrite Alpha, which is effectively an electronic typewriter. When I use it I have one rule: the backspace key is banned. This makes me restate my thoughts if I make a typo or just bulldoze through it. I find that this makes me make better drafts in the process.
Was it ever a good idea? Even when I bend over backwards to treat the process as earnestly as possible, it feels like silly dance, corporate kabuki.
As an aside, it's pretty ludicrous that Community Rating is allowed to not be paid for the first three years of a company's operation, leads to shenanigans like this.
Relax while watching bouncing particles making connections when they get closer
Here come the conservatives, again. Canada might not be a two-party system, but you'd never guess looking at the last hundred years.
As a software dev the only KPI I want my team to have is the build time.

There was that time at one place where it seemed I was the only person who actually put tickets in the ticket system (the product manager never did.)

I was told that every ticket I put in had to have clear value for the consumer and they complained about a ticket to speed up the build. I told them "it has value for the customer because the customer wants the product and could have had it six months ago if we 5x'ed the build speed a year ago"

Yeah, he pretty much had no choice. Most of his party had given him the ultimatum. This has happened a bunch of times outside of the Trudeau Harper Chrétien eras, it’s normal.
Yes, but do you do this every time you take the card out?
The GOP has used the party in power manipulation to keep themselves in power very effectively at the state level with gerrymandering.

This is the crux of what's wrong with the original article IMO. Key results that are customer centric as opposed to "ship {thing}" help keep teams focused on the thing that actually matters.

Of course there will be a tendency to try to game the metric, but the flip side of having customer centric goals is teams become feature factories, building idea after idea without constantly evaluating "are the things we're shipping driving the change in customer behavior they're intended to drive".
Yes it's the first time in a long time that a member of the Castro family has not run a major government.

Generally, governments in Canada are voted out in roughly 9-year intervals. Trudeau took office in 2015, so nothing unusual there. Moreover, Trudeau is exiting with approval ratings just a percent below his predecessor, Stephen Harper (22% vs. 23%, respectively). So, in a wider sense, this is not so unusual. But we're facing a trade war with the States and less-than-joking threats of annexation, so it's a bad moment to have our leadership in a shakeup.

Carbs do work well as a powerful supplement, but as a single source of nutrients, animals are the best.

You can healthily live for years just consuming cow parts (see "carnivore diet" — it works for most).

If one just eat potatoes or some other single plant, most are likely to lose their health in the long run.
In the context of GR, at cosmological scales, every frame is an inertial frame. That means fictitious forces will arise if you're not careful to account for that.

Show HN: Dataclr – Python library simplifying feature selection for ML
Hi,

I recently finished working on the library for feature selection and it outperforms all existing solutions. If anybody works with tabular data and sometimes goes through feature selection step then I encourage you to try this solution :)
It's a bit funny his favourite "Apple Intelligence feature" is something that wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't even invoke the actual model at all under the hood.

Parsing text for variables when it sees an equals sign and running basic calculations on them? I feel that could have been a novel feature 30 years ago.
I'd wager most people actually do inconveniently hold some vegan ethics, but there's a blind spot due to tradition, culture, and habit.

For example, most people have some sheepishly held position against factory farming despite partaking in it. And they think it's wrong to kick a dog and a pig and a cow. And watching a documentary like Dominion or Earthlings makes them feel horrible so they'd prefer not to watch it.
What alternatives are there to eBay? Craigslist seems sketchy and Amazon doesn't support the auction model as far as I'm aware. I want to use good alternatives and encourage my family, friends, and co-workers to do so as well. eBay seems unsalvageable and I think the best thing for us is for it to die due to economic starvation.
Sorry, ignorant question -- how does one us RSS to keep up to date on news?

With Twitter, I can see content from people I follow and from content referenced or highlighted by people I follow. People in this case can also include news organizations or other professional journalistic content.

In addition there is the algorithmically generated garbage feed stuff that is mostly useful for seeing (potentially) interesting content that I missed on the main feed, but also contains a ton of content from people I did not follow and that people I do follow did not highlight or reference. Presumably this project attempts to reduce the garbage-ey ness of this feed, which I would appreciate.
Alaska got Ranked Choice Voting and after every election cycle where a Democrat wins they're up in arms about how it's bad. This time the repeal effort got within a whisker of succeeding, while the Democrat (Mary Peltola) lost her congressional seat.

RCV encourages moderation, meaning candidates like Peltola and Senator Murkowski (R) win statewide office. This distresses people who feel like such moderates are very far from their own views.
The first versions of Android that the public saw were very similar to the OS on a BlackBerry or Danger HipTop. The G1 even used the same mechanism to deploy the keyboard.

As far as the rounded corners, I remember seeing a reduced Google Reader view of Engadget later that year that had every device looking the same from the top third up. I really wish I had a screenshot.

There is now a lot of cross inspriation and features that are copied in both directions, as well as both implementing the same thing at around the same time (Intelligence and Gemini).

On the Android side, Pixel gets most new features first while Samsung offers their own take. Samsung is generally ahead of their direct competitors in terms of hardware.
Funny in a startup I value people being pinch hitters. Sure you should have your domain but if there is some exceptional event I want somebody to be able to cover for you or for you to do some job that wasn't even on the roster yesterday.
yes that's the main idea.

He is going to stay until a new leader is chosen by the Liberal Party of Canada.
> the team is well aware but won’t fix the ticket because it doesn’t help them meet OKRs.

Oh, someone will fix it. But it won't be the glamorous team that does the "lead" development. It will be a less desirable team that is relegated to "maintenance coding" and is paid substantially less than the premier team that created the big and got the bonus
Its been expected since before the Christmas break. There was a cabinet reshuffle, and its come out he's lost the support of his finance minister Chrystia Freeland, wasn't able to replace her with Marc Carney his top choice as Carney seems to be distancing himself from the current Govt on top of public support being at an all time low.

Both the opposition Conservatives and the supporting NDP parties (NDP in particular was holding up the Liberal Minority Govt) have been planning non-confidence motions this month that would result in a new election.

There was no path to victory for Trudeau after that, so the next best move is to resign and hope the liberals can pick a new leader before the next electoral cycle is too far along and avoid the issue the Democrats had by rushing to select a replacement candidate and alienating some portion of voters by doing so.
Middle management gets a bad rap but that political battleground makes or break companies.
Yes and yes.

Canadian prime ministers often expire after 10 years for one reason or another

There will likely be an election in 3ish months with a new liberal leader in place of Trudeau
Yeah that is a good question to OP

The predicted conservative win if the election happens right away, would be a landslide in every sense of that word
If only fascists had a consistent system of ethics. But fascism requires irrationality [1]. You can't sway them with facts. A real fascist doesn't believe in the golden rule, even though they might claim they do. Their primary objective is to harm the out-group at all costs.

Lots of bad faith in this article. Example:

"On the same WSJ front page that the story of management cutbacks appeared, there was also a story about the stock market having risen unusually fast the last two years. Perhaps these stories are connected"
As someone in the same position as you I would say it's more like winning the lottery. The game environment is filled with games so adding another one to the pile won't do much. I think making a video game is a great idea. Having myself coded a web browser game in JS its a lot easier now with all the tools and game engines available then it was 7 years ago. I would say that you should go for it. Build your game and release it. The market for crafting survival/ slice of life/ crafting games is huge and you definitely could make the next game to take the world by storm. I would recommend not quitting your day job though, unless you find a way to cover life expenses and build the game.
Well, then you don't know Canadians.
I'd love to get this to the point where add your own keybindings to structural edits, potentially very involved ones.
It's superficially not very different to a combination of vim macros, auto completes or templates in other editors but I think the end result could be interesting as the units of change would be more meaningful.
I think it's the same benefit of a hygienic macro system vs a source file manipulating version of meta programming.
> why was electrical reform needed?

Canada uses a first past the post system for federal elections, which usually boils down to a two party state equilibrium

> It would seem weird for a candidate to reform how voting works knowing it could negatively affect their side, right?

Possibly, but I want to believe that politicians can put country over party (I haven't found a huge amount of evidence for this though unfortunately)

PWCT (Programming Without Coding Technology) is designed as a general-purpose visual programming language and is used for developing the Ring programming language Compiler/VM. (Research paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/13/23/4627)

With respect to Visual Programming Languages, the main contributions of PWCT are:

1- Introducing the Graphical Code Replacement (GCR) method as an alternative to Drag-and-Drop. (Research paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42486-020-00038-y)

2- Using the Time dimension at the program design level, which allows running programs in the past and playing programs as a movie.

3- The first VPL to be used in the development of a Compiler and Virtual Machine for a TPL.

PWCT is influenced by Lava, Forms/3, and Limnor. PWCT2 incorporates more features from other VPLs like Scratch and Envision.

PWCT2 improves upon PWCT by providing a faster, cross-platform environment that supports importing and exporting Ring code. Additionally, the implementation of the environment has been switched from Visual FoxPro to the Ring language. Since PWCT2 supports importing Ring code and is written in Ring, it is a self-hosting VPL. Also, PWCT2 adds the auto-run feature to the Time dimension.
It may have been the channel owner, or more likely it may have been YouTube itself.

There have been a few discussions over at level1techs where people thought they thought the channel was moderating them for some strange reason, only to turn out it’s YouTube: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/l1t-youtube-shadowban-shadow...

More than once I’ve made a comment, went to edit a spelling mistake, and got an error on save because my completely unobjectionable comment was removed 10 seconds after posting.

YouTube has a horrible comment automation wordfilter/AI that will silently steamroll comments in a way that makes Reddit and 4chan mods seem rational. The channel owners don’t even see the comments (and last I checked, they don’t show up in your comment history either)

YouTube comments are vapid, in part because anything high effort/quality is likely to get deleted.
Best of luck to our Canadian friends.
They exist because they've embedded themselves in the process and are hard to get rid of. If you want to buy a specific house it's already set up for you to find a realtor and the homeowner has already agreed to pay them a fat stack of cash. I needed a realtor to send an email, he dragged his feet then went on vacation, and I ended up overpaying to beat offers that showed up later. Rent seekers.
Patio11 has some good coverage of Trudeau's handling of the trucker protest against the government's handling of COVID-19 [1].

Whatever you think of the truckers' position or protest tactics, any punishment for their actions ought to go through the laws and court system. Trudeau instead essentially told the banking system "You can't do business with those people, they're terrorists." Patio11's words of what happened next:

"The assistant deputy finance minister...said...'The intent was not to get at the families', and when a democratic government starts a sentence that way something deeply #*&$#ed up has happened."

I'm not on the pulse of Canadian politics, so I don't really know what sins or political circumstances have led Trudeau to this point, or if he has any redeeming qualities. Personally, I'm glad to see him gone.

Your right to privacy is subordinate to the public's interest in identifying the drivers of cars.

Sure. I mean, I often hate the unique attributes people come up with, and I wouldn't use their product because of it. I certainly also hate yours ;P. But... would I use something that has no unique attributes? Probably also not! And, honestly, it is maybe better to first decide if I am even in your target market or not... (and in this case: I am not; my opinion is so different from your instinct that anyone similar to me simply do not matter for your design).
These days they apparently spell it Castreau.
> instead you've just handed us to the conservatives

I agree that the conservatives are not a good choice, but apparently for the opposite reason as you - the conservatives are unlikely to be able to fix much of the damage Trudeau has inflicted on the country, especially w.r.t. unfettered immigration.

The PPC is the only one with any sensible policies IMO, but unfortunately they won't be competitive in the upcoming national election.
Seems to have been a bit of confusion in several directions here, but just to clarify: in modern usage 金子 is read only as Kaneko, and is a very common surname. The "kinsu" reading is archaic; a typical native speaker may never have heard of it.
This is why I claim stirner is the greatest self help book author ever. “The Unique and its Property”, his magnum opus, is a defense of following your own self interest.
Problem with First Past the Post voting systems, we tend to vote "strategically", and since the Alliance and PC's joined early augh's, the Right has been "unified" while the left is still split between the more centrist liberals and left NDP, with a small portion bled off for green's.

Would love to see explanations of downvotes since this is factually true...
