In a modern hospital, depending on how healthy a baby is, it might get as many as 15 minutes before the not-removable-except-by-cutting RFID-enabled tag is attached to the wrist or ankle and it becomes part of the hospital inventory and the movements are tracked religiously. They are deathly afraid of accidentally mixing up babies between parents (with a side of worry about them getting stolen). Each of my kids were born at a hospital that averaged a delivery every 15-20 minutes. A nurse may see 50 deliveries in a shift and keeping track is going to be a challenge.

Big fan of Vim. One thing I wish they fixed is the UX around opening a file twice.
Not fundamentally, at least I doubt it : pseudo-random number generation is technically deterministic.

And it's used for sampling these low information systems that you are mentioning.

(And let's not also forget how they are helpful in sampling deterministic but extremely high complexity systems involving a high amount of dimensions that Monte Carlo methods are so good at dealing with.)

"The analysis revealed that both the CVR and FDR data were not recording during the four minutes leading up to the aircraft's collision"

How does this even happen where two systems would stop recording data. This story seems to get weirder and weirder. I'd always been under the impression that black boxes were really highly secure and extremely rigorously developed to specifically prevent data loss in situations like this.

Bad enough for the accident to occur, but to not have accurate telemetry and recorded data from the onboard systems is definitely going to make an already hard investigation very much harder

It might still give us some hints. In the other thread they say that the black box might have stopped recording because of a power failure - and planes manufactured before 2010 (this plane was from 2009) didn't need an UPS.

The hint that we get from this news is that the plane (or better, the blackbox) was missing electricity for 4 minutes prior to the crash.
Show HN: YAMLFish – A free translation management system
As a 15YoE Rails dev, I've had to work many times with I18n, and found it was often a hassle. Working on many features at the same time meant countless conflicts, and excel files filled with translations.

I've used tools like phraseapp and lokalise, they work well but are overpriced for SMB IMO.

In a recent gig, I had a tight budget and minimal needs (just needed branching support and a way for product people to suggest translations to the tech team without getting in the way)

So I built my own and it worked really well, I've since quit the company and they are still using it.

I decided to share it publicly and freely to see if it could gain any traction. If it does, I plan to keep a generous freemium plan and then charge fairly.

I've only played with Clojure (not used it professionally, I'm working with Scala) but Clojure interop with Java is way better than what I can see here: https://abcl.org/doc/abcl-user.html The way it's integrated with the host platform makes it better for most use cases IMHO.

You're saying — if we distill it into a general rule — that if it saves 10 man-hours of work, copyright infringement is right.

While I personally disagree with copyright on principle, I'm not sure if you've fully considered the ramifications of your argument.

10 man-hours of work, at minimum wage, is about the price of a video game right now.

Your argument would mean piracy of video games is pretty much always right
Show HN: Mkdevenv – managing dev environments with Makefiles and Containerfiles
I created this repo to standardize the approach I'm currently using to isolate my development environments, which now allows me to integrate mkdevenv into other projects of mine.

It's primarily designed to integrate with GNU Emacs but should also work fine with other editors. While I'm aware of alternatives, I'm particularly inclined toward the fundamentals and the isolation that containers offer. (I'm currently writing a blog post on it, though I still need to give Nix/Guix a fair try as well).
Ah I wish they open sourced the UE1 engine. I know some of the OldUnreal community members get to see the source code and made patches for it as well as migrated the UT editor to it, which is way better than the original VB one.

Tangent: Despite the misleadingly similar naming, Visual Studio and VSCode are two completely different MS products. I too use VSCode for most of my programming these days, but since I don't currently program for Win32 or UWP or .NET, I haven't seen a reason to install Visual Studio even though I have a Windows machine and they have a zero-cost Community Edition.
I also consider these two languages to be on a similar level.
Somewhat separating owning and non owning memory in the type system goes a long way. Also a much better standard library and a stricter typing discipline.

The fact that it's mostly backwards compatible means you can reproduce almost all issues of c in c++ awell, but the average case fares much better. Real world C++ does not have double-frees, for example. (As real world C++ does not have free() calls).
I don't think it's people just wanting to live in 'popular' neighborhoods, but safe neighborhoods. In the places you're describing you don't go out after dark, crime is common, and you also get to enjoy things like SUVs slowly cruising around at 1am with sound systems more fit for a stadium than a car.

In places, like most countries in Asia, where crime rates are vastly lower, you'll see far greater levels of socioeconomic mixing with defacto mansions near rather modest houses. The same is also true to some degree in rural areas in the states, where you'll see a trailer on a couple of acres with a truck husk or two in the front yard right beside a house that you'd be more inclined to call an 'estate.'

That's not only wrong in itself, but totally orthogonal.

A binary search implementation should still work, regardless of the array length, or have the limitation documented.

And of course an array "with length over a billion" can be totally valid, depending on the use case, your tradeoffs, available memory, etc. It could even be the optimal data structure for some use cases.

We were sold a model where having a career is the most important thing in life, at the expense of family and relationships. Because of that, the world gets richer but unhappier.

Hi. It's nice to see these fixes.

I got a question after checking results on the open LLM leaderboard[1].

Comparing the result of NyxKrage/Microsoft_Phi-4 and microsoft/phi-4 or unsloth/phi-4, I can see fixing both the tokenizer and chat template causes the performance of both IFEval and BBH to increase. However, the performance on MATH, GPQA and MUSR degrades A LOT.

Is there any explanation on why this is happening?

I guess it depends on the field you're working in. When manipulating strings, await db calls, sort arrays, JavaScript (TypeScript actually) feels very intuitive and concise. But going more low level I can see it breaking apart.
Smug about an argument I haven’t seen? What do you believe is the actual argument…?
You should never write code that's impossible to understand without fancy IDE features. If you're writing such code, the best thing you can do for yourself long term is switch to a text editor without LSP (read Notepad) right now, which will force you to start writing sane code.

This is true for any language, but it's especially true for C++, where most large codebases have tons of invisible code flying around - implicit casts, weird overloads, destructors, all of these possibly virtual calls, possibly over type-erased objects accessed accessed via smart pointers, possibly over many threads - if you want to stand any chance of even beginning to reason about all that you NEED to see the actual, concrete, scientific types of things.
Interesting.

I personally think that it is not helpful to subscribe to 'sins of the father belong to the son' view of the world. Apart from everything else, it rewards near-constant cries of perceived injustices that drown any point you may have had about descendants of slaves.

Some of my early unconscious bias interview training helped me realize I assumed older candidates were vastly more experienced, and when they were "normal," then they must not be very good. Logically, that is silly because everyone is at different levels at different times with different areas of interest. 28 or 55, give the same interview against the same rubric and let the best candidate win.

Career and grinding is not a goal, but is needed to afford an house and money to help your parents.

Apartment prices relative to income have gone greatly up. Thus, more grinding needed and some low wage occupations are priced out from the market altogether.

The question is why apartment prices keep going up and can we stop it.

I don’t know about “vast majority”. Mixed-gender friend groups are also very common, especially in larger metros. The two cultural shifts currently happening are 1. Loss of interest in “third spaces” (clubs, church) for mingling and 2. widening political divide between the genders.
Federal Express Flight 705 comes to mind, in which a crew member disabled the CVR by pulling it's circuit breaker before attempting to hijack the plane.
Agreed. Whilst we should aspire to language beauty, it's usually trumped by practicality. Python is massively practical:

- the easy on-ramp (often reads like English, indentation is something beginners can innately pick up)

- batteries included: with the rise in the internet+ the shift to packages, it's really about having enough places you can find workable solutions, and Python's dominance helps here

- integration with other languages has been a key part of Python since the beginning, so you are rarely held back
>What algorithm would you suggest to find the year in an arbitrary submission?

In the submission title, a simple regex for the presence of a date with a standard format (e.g. %Y) would suffice.

Matching it to the article might or might not be possible, but that would already be enough (assuming having the date is a good thing, which I'm not certain at all)
> You should never write code that's impossible to understand without fancy IDE features

with Rust that ship has sailed
my understanding is that whenever new products at big tech are made, they throw a bunch of MBAs at it to try to monetize/extract any value. If that is the case, it makes sense that innovation slows down as the engineers arent steering
> The fact that a modulo operation is necessary to index into the array makes this function hard (if not impossible) to vectorize, and thus unnecessarily slow.

It seems to me that this benchmark conflates two optimizations that could be tackled separately.

For example, if you took the naive approach and just use a power-of-2 buffer size so that modulo could be replaced with "&", you'd get a pretty good speedup without resorting to mmap, no?
> and gravity, still pointing towards the center, makes you stand at an increasingly acute angle to the surface. The ground beneath you will then appear like one big endless mountainside

That’s why you never hear of people who went to the edge of that dis: they slid down that mountainside, and dropped off :-)

Alternatively, you can postulate that disc to be arbitrarily thick.

That will decrease the deviations. If that’s not enough to make them immeasurable, postulate that the stuff “deeper down” has higher density.

In the limit, just postulate that there’s an enormous black hole millions of light years below the center of the earth.

Flat-earthers probably won’t accept Newton’s theory of gravity, however, so you can make up anything.
Subtitle:

> There’s a modern belief that talent or effort can carry anyone to the top. It’s a myth that’s especially harmful to men

Um, NO. The unstated, and truly vile part of "anyone can make it to the top" is that it's used to justify a society where only 0.01% actually matter, and maybe the next 1% rate lip service and usually-okay treatment. Beyond that, "failed to make it to the top" somehow justifies treating humans as freely-exploitable expendables.
You missed one important category: too verbose (COBOL, Pascal).

- Challenge: Water drifts away before it hits the ground due to the release altitude, wind, and fire air currents

- Challenge: Water shortage

- Challenge: Water lift aircraft shortage

- Task: Pour thousands of gallons (or Canadian litres) of water onto fire

- Task: Pour a line, a circle, or other patterns to contain fire

- Task: Process seawater quickly enough to avoid property damage with untreated ocean salt water, for example

https://www.google.com/search?q=fluid+vorticity+fire+plane

## Solutions

- Are Quadcopters (or n-copters) more stable than helicopters or planes
in high-wind fire conditions?

- Fire CFD modeling for craft design.

- Light, durable aerospace-grade hydrogen vessels

- Intermodally transportable containers

- Are there stackable container-sized water vessels for freight
transport?

- Floating, towable seawater processing and loading capability.

-- Process seawater for: domestic firefighting, disaster relief,

-- Fill vessels at sea.

Pretty much the reasons I don't care about VSC. Sensible telemetry is not an issue for me, but pushing electron while there are much more performant solutions is one. I'm much more amenable to the Emacs and Vim's plugin/package solutions than VSC. And they're extraordinary stable.
