When I learned Haskell in college I was blown away by how laziness enables cool things like dealing with infinite lists or more performance even though the UX is exactly the same. (Apparently with Ruby there is the slight hint of adding the lazy method in between)

Later I found out laziness in the whole system by default leads to some difficult issues, which quite a few people seem to agree with. Simon Peyton Jones (Haskell co-creator) apparently has said "The next Haskell will be strict". (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14011943)
You’re saying that only those forced to do labor would be slaves? Slaves aren’t made free by a lack of tasks. What’s your point?
Control structures? Do you mean something like '{ cmd1 || cmd2; } | cmd3', where the control structures are the braces?

By activity you mean who run some process? doesn't enabling audit on all execve, execveat and looking at AUID besides EUID and UID fields tell you that? Or am I missing something? you may want to configure ENHANCED format in auditd for convenience.

That's missing the forest for the trees. They're losing money on every vehicle they sell. There needs to be a lot more R&D to get the vehicles to a price point that consumers will purchase them and they can actually make a profit. Thus far, their R&D has been a net loss for the company.

I'm sure at least a good portion of it will pay off eventually, but there's no guarantee of how much, or how long it will take.

How about South Africa not doing so well currently? It could be viewed through a racial lens but it means you can’t objectively discuss and hopefully help the situation. IMO this is exactly an example of where such closed rules may legitimately help.

Man, multiple people were ready to "go in on" Calvin which really wasn't what I intended. I was recently drafting a little ten part quick and dirty comparison of Christian denominational views on the most important/relevant theological concepts and reading about the Old Lutherans in this post really made me think about how seriously they took these things because they were literally true to them. It is either an admirable or a terrifying thing depending on your perspective.

To answer your question as well as I can from their perspective, the reformed understanding of pneumatic presence vs their understanding of the sacramental union and being forced to participate in the eucharist in that heretical way, would quite literally be grounds for leaving the continent.

"Free speech" is normally about a government restriction on speech. Most people don't take it to mean temporary restrictions during specific private events.

For example, at a funeral, the norm is not to speak ill of the dead (or any other time, for that matter), and if you break that rule, you might find yourself socially excluded. But that has nothing to do with the concept of "free speech".

The same goes for some kind of proceeding where you are not permitted to speak, or some situation where you are given information in confidence, or your signing of an NDA.

Nice job. You articulated it more clearly.
Isn’t wild that if you said that sentence about why other language, particular, a non-Western one, this would be considered hate speech? It’s interesting how language works.
Give bash some credit - it's actually amazing for even very large, complex systems (of which there are many -- quietly doing their jobs for decades.)

With xargs or GNU parallel, you can have multi-processing, too. Combining with curl or ffmpeg, you can literally build a production-grade web scraper or video transcoding pipeline in a couple of minutes and a few dozen lines of code.
> Firstly, your link is focused on zoning changes, specifically how they are insufficient to prompt addition supply to be built.

Yeah. The misery pushers (urbanists) can't admit outright that their ideology is leading to disaster, can they? So they now need not only zoning restrictions lifted, but the state must also build housing and give it out to "deserving" people for cheap.

> Secondly, building more suburbs and more cities increases the supply… which indicates agreement that the price problem is one of insufficient supply.

I'm not arguing against supply-and-demand in general (I'm not a communist idiot). I'm arguing against the _density_ increases.

> EDIT: To be perfectly clear, the data I disagree with is that increasing supply in Minneapolis failed to impact price.

But it did. The real estate transaction index clearly shows that there were no positive effects from the new construction.

Moreover, I analyzed all the real estate sales in the US, Canada, and parts of Europe since 1995. I have not found a single example of a large (>100k population) city that decreased the housing sale prices by increasing density.

Even during the crash of 2007, the dense housing crashed less than comparative nearby sparse housing.

The scholarly literature is also unambiguous. The best effects of density increases are either mild (transient effects on rent), or indirect (migration chains).
Yeah see, I do not even desire to have a mustang but appreciate the few V6 models I have driven. They do not go anywhere particularly fast, but they do so with great noise and style.

The idea of an electric mustang is not a non-starter. Electric vehicles can be fast as hell, if not terribly noisy.

But the fact that the electric mustang looks more like a Nissan Rogue than a Mustang car always threw me.

I guess my big take-away hearing that the eMustang sold well is that most people do not care much about cars compared to car guys.
Being able to chose who you associate with and who you do not associate is usually part and parcel with free speech.

I'd agree with you about the NDA bit. Using courts to enforce seems anti-free speech

However the milder version of it, where if someone violates the rule they aren't invited back, hardly seems like a free speech issue. Free speech doesn't mean you have to stay friends with someone who told your secrets to a third party. Free speech means you can say whatever you want, but it also means you can not talk to whomever you want.

The original actions may have been motivated by a sincere desire to get a freeloading entity to contribute more to the project (although later events make me doubt that sincerity). But that is the cost of open source: all open source licenses let freeloaders use your products without contributing back; if you don't like that, you should have written your own license instead.

What Matt has done, though, is far worse. In his legal filings, he has effectively asserted sole proprietorship of the entire WordPress ecosystem, access to which is gated solely on his whim. Furthermore, he has also argued that previous steps to create a non-profit foundation that is independent of any dictatorial powers were void from the start, and that anyone who thought such actions genuine are laughable idiots. His actions are anathema for an open source project, and even for a corporate product, quite life-threatening.
The simplest fix is to use 64-bit indices; that way you couldn't possibly allocate enough memory for a sum of valid index values to overflow (even if your array stores single-byte types, there are necessarily other things in memory besides the array).

>How about South Africa not doing so well currently?

I recently read a book review that discussed South Africa today. One of the many points it made about the dire state of things is that the air force planes that flew overhead during Mandela's inauguration were, a decade later, completely inoperable. <https://www.thepsmiths.com/p/review-south-africas-brave-new-...>.
I'm being serious in using it as an example of maintainability/expressiveness. The difference is deliberate, not accidental. I've written 15 PHP lines that would be hundreds of lines in C#, and I've written 15 lines of Go that would be hundreds of lines of PHP. Every language has its own strengths and weaknesses and levels of complexity. PHP fits into a sweet spot (IMHO) of low-levelness and high-levelness, but it is often not seriously considered due to its reputation in the 00's.
Show HN: Expense AI – Smarter Expense Tracking with AI
Hi HN,

I’m Wahab, one of the creators of Expense AI, a personal finance management app that uses AI to make tracking and analyzing expenses effortlessly. You can try it out here: https://expenseai.app.

The Backstory
I built Expense AI because I struggled to manage my own finances effectively. I’d tried apps that required too much manual entry or didn’t give actionable insights. My previous project, Trackfundx, aimed to solve a similar problem by connecting multiple bank accounts but faced challenges with transaction accuracy and tech limitations.

With Expense AI, I wanted to take a different approach by leveraging AI to simplify the process—turning receipts into structured data, categorizing expenses, and even generating custom reports—all while keeping things intuitive.

What It Does

- Receipt Automation: Snap photos, forward email receipts, or upload PDFs. Expense AI extracts the details and categorizes them for you.

- Customizable Reports: Generate tailored reports in PDF or spreadsheet format with advanced filters like tags, stores, and date ranges.

- Manual Entry: Add expenses manually for transactions without receipts.

- Email Integration: Set up auto-forwarding for your bank alerts, and Expense AI will automatically record and categorize the transactions.

Why It’s Different

- AI-Powered Insights: The app not only tracks expenses but also identifies patterns and helps with financial planning.

- Flexibility: Supports multiple input methods (manual, email, receipt scanning) and works across various currencies.

- Customization: Users can define tags, select report columns, and filter data to match their needs.

What’s Next

We’re planning to introduce:

- Income Tracking to provide a holistic view of finances.
- Budgeting Tools for better financial planning.
- Multi-User Support for businesses to track team expenses.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions. Also, if you encounter any issues while trying it out, let me know!

Link: https://expenseai.app

Thank you!

There is basically nowhere a family can pay less for rent that the price of upkeeping a beater car - the residents were going to have a car either way. There's just not enough public transit in the US to avoid this reality outside of cities with high rent, especially for apartments large enough for a family.
Good riddance to people who think they “know how to drive”. If they did that stuff on private tracks, fine, but in my experience they prefer to use the public road network, which is obviously built and managed for transportation only.
I appreciate the suggestion. They tested me twice for sleep apnea.

The first time it was borderline so we decided that was unlikely to be the cause. That was also just a few months after COVID when my symptoms were extreme and persistent and I was also experiencing major insomnia.

The second time was a year later when I was supposed to be getting the multiple sleep latency test for narcolepsy. I had an awful time getting to sleep and only had a few hours. They didn't complete the narcolepsy test because they said I had severe apnea. The doctor prescribed me a CPAP and insisted it would fix everything. They went so far as to say that it's never narcolepsy and that in 10 years they had only seen one case, which is concerning given that narcolepsy is not that rare in the general population and it should be much more common among people who are tested for it. The doctor's over confidence and condescending tone made me greatly question the diagnosis.

I did try the CPAP for a little over a month. I simply couldn't make it work. I started with a nasal mask but the first time I opened my mouth I awoke in a panic as air was rushing through my nose and out my mouth. It happened a couple more times and it was clear that wasn't going to work. I then tried a full mask and while that wasn't as bad, I found it extremely hard to fall asleep. Even though I didn't find it uncomfortable, I simply didn't feel sleepy while wearing it. The moment I took it off I would be exhausted and would fall asleep. I also had trouble breathing with it. When the pressure started to rise I wasn't able to breathe out against it so I would suffocate. It woke me many times. Much later I was told that there should be a release valve for that and a different mask might help, but I had already given up on it.

Other circumstances also make me doubtful that sleep apnea is the cause. It has slowly but steadily been improving over the last two years, which shouldn't happen with SA. I have also used various sleep trackers, including recording myself, and with rare exception there haven't been any significant signs of apnea. I snore, but not loudly. I never stop breathing for any length of time. I cough occasionally but I also do that regularly while awake in bed because of post nasal drip. Even the CPAP when I was using it recorded only a few significant events. Aside from that single test, all other evidence has suggested against it.

My wife does have significant sleep apnea. She struggled similar to me with wearing the CPAP but she was recently prescribed APAP and it has worked well for her. Even with the CPAP there was a clear difference when she used it.

I have no doubt it works for many people, but unfortunately it didn't seem to help me.
The Aurora by itself is usually a once in a lifetime thing. That being said, the sun is projected to do this kind of thing more often long term. So this may be the start of a new trend. Though the solar cycle is around 11 years long, so this is the last year for quite a while that it's statistically more probable.
This happens to me all the time with bazel. It is too complicated and the documentation sucks so I just look for prior art and copy paste that. Sometimes I have to do something novel and it takes me several days of deep diving the bazel source code to figure out how to do something.
Again, your comment makes no sense as a reply to mine. Money has nothing to do with what I'm suggesting. I would happily make the code changes myself. It wouldn't cost anyone a single cent. Zero.

I get the impression you don't understand how open source contributions work because you keep talking about "spending money" as if it's a relevant counterpoint. It isn't.

When you reply, try to focus on the point actually being made: that Automattic will not accept certain code contributions, no matter how much better they make WordPress for its users.
> In the process of brainstorming you are bound to say something stupid or illegal but that’s the whole idea of brainstorming- to throw ideas and see what sticks

That's a great point. One thing I've not enjoyed in modern corporate culture is the mental gymnastics required to usher out a statement that couldn't be interpreted as offensive to anyone on the planet. It's not like I'm _trying_ to be offensive, but as the number of rules governing speech increases, it becomes difficult to have conversations that are not laden with newspeak.

Removing that cognitive load is bound to leave more brainpower for the task at hand.

> E.g. if someone beats you up due to a view you expressed, i consider that a free speech issue.

If the police beat you up, then that's a freedom of speech issue (as well as police abuse, etc), since one might argue that the government is suppressing your speech.

If a private citizen beats you up, then I disagree; it's merely a matter of assault. That's illegal anyway and your speech had little to do with it. If someone beats me up for looking at them the wrong way, I'd hardly argue that it's a "looking the wrong way" issue.

I appreciate that you consider otherwise, and of course it's subjective so your view is as valid as mine. I'm just identifying that I think your concept is "creep" that has occurred over time for some subset of people, spawned by a principle that never originally included what you now include in the concept.
I think it’s very interesting that hitler was an aspiring painter, really gives a window into his psychology. I’m glad they bothered to write that down in the history books.

I wouldn't use an app like this, because I do my reading on a Kindle for books and articles, and on e-paper for larger PDFs. I prefer just having the files, with offline access, and I don't consider it a problem to sync or to find where I was if I switch devices.
You misunderstood, I mean for the top to be flat but the "underground" to have some kind of shape to compensate for the gravitational pull at all points on the flat surface. For a 2Dish example in the ballpark, you could think of one of these wooden toy bridge blocks: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/natural-wood-blocks-364582.j...

I think you could construct a curve such that the mass's gravitational pull on the right cancels out the pull on the left, for any point on the surface.

Story time. My wife and I were vacationing in Portugal last summer. She left her purse in a uber car on the way to the airport. The driver found the purse and dumped it after taking 20$ and some costume jewellery. We tracked it to an abandoned parking lot later that day using an AirTag and we ended up finding it using the Location app. We have AirTags in every bag now and we change the batteries on a schedule.
Of course there's a natural constraint: the type of the function. You can't pass a bigint to a function that expects an int. And if you are just blind casting, it turns out you have a similar bug: you are calling the function with different arguments than you think you are. It's the same underlying problem with a different expression in some cases.
every community wants more engagement, resources, etc

not every community is worth the engagement

my point isn't that community in general is bad, it's that communities aren't entitled to engagement unless they actually make it worth it for the participants. if the social pressure to join goes out the window and communities have to exist via their own merits, that's not a bad thing. it's a correction
I was about to provide a fairly large list, but maybe something general is better:

You know that there is a "wrong opinion" that'll get you in trouble when you and conservatives begin to nod in agreement with George Carlin, even though you've always thought of yourself as liberal.
