(I know I could just RTFM but since you offered!) Does it do something like NixOS for declaring modules as functions and resolving the configuration as a fixed point of all module function applications (roughly, I don't think I'm describing it well)? This is a beautifully elegant way of defining configuration-with-options using lazy evaluation but it often leads to headaches like infinite recursion. Since Guile is not a lazy language I wonder how it achieves this.
He is basically a crackpot. Any attempt at fundamental physics that doesn't take quantum mechanics into account is.... uhm.... how to put this.... 'questionable'.
Now this is the important piece. This focus is not accidental, but deliberate. I have thought how corporates will try to counter the movement, because, clearly, the old guard has placed itself in RTO corner.

Splitting popular support ( akin to Musk's attempt to cast WFH as 'laptop class' ) would accomplish that.

I have no good counter, but it only reminds me that maybe we do need some pan-wfh org that tries to deal with social media narratives.
Then you should be locked up behind bars. You're a thief, pure and simple.
You're assuming it's about economics, but it has almost nothing to do with that. Foreign companies like Ford and GM can and do sell in China.

The reason China restricts foreign internet companies specifically, is because the government lacks control over what information is shared on such apps. China is a dictatorship where free speech is considered dangerous.
Does anybody know if is it possible to apply a similar configuration in a searxng instance?
Doesn’t TSMC building a plant in US, offset the need for US to invade Taiwan. Perhaps Taiwan expects US support out of goodwill, but I think Taiwan overestimates how much goodwill drives US politics. Taiwan might have had a better chance of getting support, if it maintained a monopoly on circuit production.
What would be the point in return to office mandates for people who don’t work in an office? It’s not mentioned because it’s irrelevant.
Thanks for sharing, maybe I'm demanding things they aren't set out to do and being too cynical.
Not on the I want it to fail side but my main question is why we put this water intensive industry in Arizona instead of further east where water is less stressed as a resource?

Seems like it would be way better off being somewhere in the eastern half of the country or at least not in the Southwest.

Especially the ones who keep sneaking furry propaganda into elementary school.
I'd argue social skills are more valuable than improved curriculum. Not saying you couldn't learn social skills outside of the school system too, but seems to me that curriculum is easier to learn outside of the system than social skills.
One thing to consider is that most of the blue-collar workers who would have an easier commute into a city center due to WFH will have their job negatively affected by office workers not also traveling to the city center.

If you do facilities work in a downtown area, people not working from the office means you have less work to do and your job is potentially affected. Same goes for restaurant workers, sanitation workers, etc.
I would posit that the self-identified "cycling community" is about the same percentage of "people who ride bikes" as programmers are of "people who use computers".

We're a long way from everyone who buys their kid a first bike at Walmart knowing about balance bikes (or the cheaper option of taking the pedals off)
Interesting. I never considered that.
How many are there? Not even people in finance/accounting can do that as they need to handle physical documents that must never leave the office. HR, marketing, sales people need to do the same and meet the humans. IT people seem to be the only group capable of doing so, I don't know anyone else in any other profession who would even consider 100% remote a possibility.
But why does this not exist for those who already lost their homes years ago and are living on the streets?

A bunch of rich home owners have their houses burned down it's an emergency.

Tens of thousands of homeless people live on the streets and nobody bats an eye.

Just saying.
Show HN: Mongo Murder Mystery – Can You Find Out Whodunnit?
What:

So I built this small (and ofc free) web-based interactive game where folks solve a murder mystery while learning MongoDB commands and concepts. It combines a fun storyline with practical lessons to help you practice querying and navigating data.

It’s not a full tutorial—more like a self-directed exercise with an optional walkthrough to guide you.

Motivation:

Over the holidays, I wanted to teach MongoDB basics to my 8th-grade nephew in an interactive and exciting way. I was inspired by the popular SQL Murder Mystery and thought, “Why not create something similar for MongoDB?” I tested it with my nephew and some friends, so here it goes.

The ask:
Give it a try! Feedback is most welcome—let me know if the mystery stumps you or if you have ideas for future cases!

I'm also more than happy to answer any questions about how I put this project together, e.g., the tech stack used.

Thank you very much for stopping by and taking a look.

Cheers
Diana
I find the privileged argument to be unproductive. Do you work in a coal mine or a third world factory? Nearly every position has some level of privilege, does that make the desires of the workers invalid? Does that mean that every job needs to find the lowest common denominator working conditions?
I blame canned food and trains for solving the logistics problems that previously prevented massive wars.
Bottom end really, Middle end is still superior to this AI drivel.
that was a somewhat defensible if somewhat silly position back in 2022, but in 2025 with part of Russia occupied by Ukraine, the Soviet stockpiles emptied, and North Koreans being brought in to fill the gaps, what the hell are you talking about?
Vines were limited to six seconds, so the medium was a little different. That seems easy enough to change however.
If we are privileged, does that mean we should NOT work from home when it's clearly possible?
That's cool but I have crippling debt and I was just laid off. I'm considering signing up for disability or going to debtor's prison. I'm in my early 30s and I've spent way more than 10,000 hours programming and now my vision is suffering. Sure I was lucky enough I had WFH at a FAANG. I give to charity and I pay taxes. Do I need to self-flagellate some more or am I privileged enough now? I suppose I can always get a job at Walmart and apply for welfare because those are not exclusive at all.

Lest my negative attitude get the better of both of us, we should believe that society's goals are to improve everyone's quality of life.

Not sure the specific problems with a non-english layout, but if it helps with some ideas this is the layout I use for my keyboard (so far)[1].

[ and ] go on the inner columns on either side and '/" goes where it normally would be on an ansi qwerty layout.

The page up/down and home/end keys live on a temporary (hold) layer under the arrow keys, which is a habit I picked up from many years of using mac laptops where fn + arrow keys is how you get those keys anyway.

Layers 0 and 3 are the really important ones, 1 and 2 are just the defaults from Ergodox. And while they are assigned, I currently haven't been using the capslock, the lower-left ', the lower-right [ ] and cmd+enter keys or the Meh key so those would be freed up for use if needed. I also turned on the "auto-shift" functionality, so if you liked that it would also free up the left and right shifts for other use.

The letter layout is "middlemak"[2] which I found to be more comfortable than qwerty or colemak on the ortholinear layout, and a bit easier to learn than colemak because it shares a lot of keys with qwerty. But that may not be relevant for you if you're using a non-english key set.

are there really countries where the bank doesn't have a website you can use to do a transfer, but you could do it through an app?
As many should know by know, the reality is not as relevant as the perception of the issue. Even the economy can be 'felt' differently depending on one's perception of their circumstances regardless of the facts on the ground.
It's not unusual for someone who's fluent in multiple languages to have internal thought processes that are associated with one language or another and to mix them whether consciously or unconsciously.

> Other experts don’t buy the o1 Chinese data labeling hypothesis, however. They point out that o1 is just as likely to switch to Hindi, Thai, or a language other than Chinese while teasing out a solution.

It could be showing an abstraction over languages and choosing the right words/language is something that could come later in the process rather than all the way through. If the 'chain of thought' (to use another anthropomorphization) be from another language. It's not proof but it is interesting.
This is interesting.

I grew up with “choose your own adventure” books which were like a solo adventure: (If you go on the north road turn to page 34 if you follow the river page 57)

Many board games now have a solo mode with an automated player with tables and dice to help randomness.

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3238902/what-is-the-best-so...

Obviously there are adventure video games. Some of the new ones often have interesting back stories, really amazing world building and dnd like adventures.
Horizon zero dawn, the Witcher, Star Wars outlaws among many others.
“baldurs gate” really gave me dnd vibes (I played through that one multiplayer).
Awesome! Much of the (non-technical) WFMU team who worked on this ended up landing in product and eng roles later in their careers... and I suspect working on this project was an influential experience for many of them (it certainly was for me). Thanks for your help in making it happen!
>We don't think we have the competence to be a teacher. We would never presume to teach someone else's kids.

While this is a good and rational awareness of one's own capabilities, as someone who grew up in Bible-belt homeschooling circles and saw a wide variance in approaches and effectiveness, the "homeschool co-op"/"homeschool group" model where one parent teaches one subject to many kids, classroom-style, is super common. See, for example, "Classical Conversations" [1], a pretty common one in my area, that leans on "parent as classroom teacher to many kids", without much in the way of prerequisite qualifications.

Musk making threats against the UK government has gone down badly: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/politics/government/uk-counter-ext...
An example of this is using AI to learn programming. It handles the syntax and you have the opportunity to focus on the fundamentals of what the program should do and what is the best way to accomplish this.
The semantics of the language make it virtually impossible to write a good lsp with “go to definition”, particularly when you get into the module system (which is where you need it most). This is a massive barrier to entry and the only way to solve it is to spend a lot of time imbibing nix lore. It’s a fundamentally unsustainable language design for adoption as an incidental build tool and it’s no surprise that those who manage to persist are also the ones who spend a lot of time with it. Unlike a more ergonomic language with good tooling and semantics which encourage adoption by casual users.
Let's not omit that a large reserve of cash will be very unlikely spent all at once, so we are talking different use cases here. You won't buy a car (probably) in a disaster scenario, but water and food from here and there.
Yes, the "trick" is ultra-simple: to fool Google, the scammers host the initial malicious code on the sites.google.com subdomain, allowing them to display the official ads.google.com subdomain... peek irony if you ask me! :)

Google didn't care until now. We reported hundreds of ads. I hope this content will push them to react. But there's another problem we've noticed in the past 24 hours: major legit ad accounts are being compromised.

You raise an interesting question: when do observations about some media outlet's articles indicate more than that outlet is just writing articles?

It's certainly possible for a given media outlet to have a metaphorical axe to grind. It's also possible to read too much into everything. How do we distinguish?
> You are privileged and your comment shows exactly that.

It definitely is a view. If you don't see it as such, that just means that's probably the primary way you view the world.

Why would it, it's an article about office jobs. The word "office" is mentioned in the headline and multiple times in the article, so why should the article mention factory workers or truck drivers? White collar workers working from home is better for anyone, less traffic, less pollution, better home situation (e.g. if you live in a household where the other party is not an office worker) and so on.
All of those military bases are there in partnership with and at the invitation of the host country. The US doesn't just slap down a base in Poland and say "deal with it."

One of detroit's best schools. 58% are proficient in reading at their level. 20% (!) Are proficient in math. That is a failing grade. The other schools are not better.

Enrolling a student at a school like this is a bad idea. Perhaps "guaranteed failure" is hyperbolic, but reality is not far enough from that statement for any sort of comfort.

These are badly functioning systems that need a major overhaul.
The good thing about apple prices is they could easily not change any of their prices and just swallow the loss in profit.

But doubtful, it'll definitely be a premium made-inthe-usa labeling for government & school use.

the only thing nosql means is that there are no relations. mongodb 8 and newer for example support schemas and validations, cascading checks, etc. dynamodb, more relevantly does also support a schema, and in fact you can't even create a table without defining one.

This should be a lot of things, but this is a spreadsheet that was done probably by an end users, and thus is a superior solution to all the potential options that were not done.

There are a lot of sheets on this worksheet that are intended to be edited. Sometimes we forget that spreadsheets are popular because they are useful for the people who use them. They have an incredibly low barrier of adoption, are intuitive and pratical for editing, and frankly, for the average users, they do tables far better than HTML.

Why the fucking web has to be the measure of all things and everything needs to be hypertext? Why the web has to be everything and absorb all other applications?

There must be a reason why Visical was the killer app that really popularized the home computer for non-nerds, followed by 1-2-3 and why almost 40 years laters excel is still one of the most used tools.

Yeah, not everybody in the world is a developer, not everybody has to think like us, and frankly, sometimes we are pretty limited in our way of thinking, and way less creative than our users.

Yes, James willingly donated a lot of time and blood, while Henrietta was no worse off for her 'victimhood', nor was she the only such 'victim':

"As was then the practice, no consent was required to culture the cells obtained from Lacks's treatment." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks

It is fashionable to treat the smallest misstep of the doctors trying to save her life, and the lives of countless others, as some unforgivable harm. But I don't buy it.

We all get better at a talent by practicing it. We make mistake. We watch others. We determine our own preferences for what we like/don't like. We learn, grow. Kids figure it out.

How does staying at home with just your sibs fair better? You wouldn't get same exposure to the buttload of social interaction and scenarios in a closed system like that.

Precisely this.

Xe were raised young earth creationist and that requires gaslighting your own child on established science, going so far as to regularly test them on their willing to believe or lie about believing patent untruths. Oh, plus the constant repression of one's identity, the lack of exposure to a wider range of perspectives and experiences, and the panopticon of surveillance by people with near total control of your socializing, especially in the suburbs. That really fucks a child up.

That kind of homeschooling is a cult, no matter how much our wider culture has normalized the literal insanity.
No worries at all :)
I don't think your story is uncommon especially for people who had trouble fitting in, however I would bet that places like facebook or instagram were not where you found your online groups. More likely to have been forums or online games. Very different environments and consequences.
> ignore the fonts already loaded on your computer and the free fonts that inundate the internet. Instead, buy a professional font

Don't agree with this at all. There are many great free fonts. Cascadia Code, Ubuntu Sans, IBM Plex, Fira Mono, etc. are great enough fonts that are free.
It's not about getting our data. The TikTok algorithm is already being used to sow discord by showing stuff the PRC wants impressionable Americans to see. This ability of an adversarial foreign nation to surgically push individualized propaganda to consumers in another country is pretty unparalleled in human history. TikTok is the ultimate propaganda machine.

There's a thin line between smuggling and wanting personal money to be somewhere else.

I get why most states want to track cash coming across their border, but it's really none of their business if they can't prove theres a crime.

Right now, RTO mandates can work simply because many employers _want_ to shed staff. It's a tidy way to drop a few people without having to make hard individual decisions, in a form you can justify as keeping 'the most committed' and 'improving productivity'.

Anywhere where it's an employee's market though, anywhere that employers are really fighting to hire or retain good staff and they _could_ do WFH, RTO is out of the question. I suspect medium-term those days will return for tech (once interest rates drop and funding reappears) and all of a sudden WFH will spike enormously once again, as a baseline perk required to compete when hiring good experienced staff.

Hopefully this pendulum won't swing back and forth too many times before the industry settles on consistent norms, but I wouldn't be surprised.
lol, doesn't matter at this point.

Given the history I'd say that the incoming administration will be less sympathetic to the Gazans than the outgoing, but, again, it doesn't matter at this point.

Could companies place an explicit value on WFH vs WFO? e.g. Set WFH salaries to 50% of the WFO rate and let the market sort it out.
That may be the case for you, but that's by definition anecdotal. I personally have seen the content consumed by a number of kids, and the amount of dubious at best information on the platform is absolutely rampant, and younger kids don't yet have a filter to know the bad from the good. Parental oversight can help, of course, but from my own observations, parents aren't for the most part monitoring what their kids are consuming.

Of course, my take is likewise anecdotal, and you may take it for what you will. That said, boiling the entirety of the American sentiment to fear of a "threat to their core" is disingenuous. Criticism of the effects of the app are as valid as its merits, regardless of what conclusions you draw based on your "fears".
Rednote is a popular meme at the moment for obvious reasons. But TikTok has around 170 Million users in the USA. What you see at the moment is a loud minority checking out the app and creating content. This is something happening all the time with Social Media and especially TikTok, loud minorities doing something, and people hard overrating the numbers. There is simply no way that with Rednotes state at the moment, we will see a significant number of users switching from TikTok to it. Maybe at the end we will see some millions switching.
you have a point. how about this. s/writer/storyteller/
I feel a lot of people have compare TikTok that they have used for countless of hours and where the algorithm has zero'd in in their preferences to a more vanilla YT Shorts. I used shorts for a few months heavily, and pretty much every video was in some way relevant to my interests (which is also why I don't consume short form video anymore, it's waaaay to addictive).
Additionally, what's worse is, I've seen posts of people unable to get out of the algorithm bubble on TikTok no matter how many videos they dislike. I think some people even try blocking the accounts. It's the weirdest algorithm. I assume it works for MOST users (when its not a "MEME" Bubble, its likely content you actually like), but if you shove someone into a niche meme bubble, it can get weird.
