Googling for statistics was difficult. Lots of month to month 'headlines', but the averages were difficult to determine. Highly variable.

Best I can come up with is last year 250,000 non citizens were removed from the US. (deported? i think that is the word). This excludes those turned away at the border, or not allowed in after contact with a border agent (not an expert, this is inferred by reading a couple of pages). 685 per day, every day.

Take 30 million eligible. That would take about 120 years.

Even doing it over 10 years would require increasing the current effort by a factor of 12.

No way the government can expand enough, and allocate enough resources to make that happen. Double or triple the current pace, maybe.

It is going to take a long time.

(personal opinion: criminals, send them back. immigrants committing fraud, send them back. people working and being part of society, make them a pathway to citizenship or legal residence. close the border to un monitored crossings)
> One time I was swimming across a lake and noticed that the reflections at the water's edge were looking weirdly spiky.

This is probably the model trying to generate kelp is the ocean. When water is in chunks on the edge of the loaded world, you can see through the water to the sky at that angle, so you also see the outline of the kelp kinda like that.

This is pretty common to see in the game nowadays, but the AI model might be having a hard time since kelp was only added a few years ago and isn't as well represented in the training data.
What scores do humans typically manage on this?
Xcode is the only IDE that I can crash by moving to a different branch. Rebasing with Xcode open thus is not stable. I can also crash it by trying to change a git SwiftPM dependency to a local one.
Also, debugging over IP is cool. Until you work on a VPN. And you set that one cool flag that ensures there are no leaks. Which means the debugger traffic can no longer leak into your IDE. I have never seen a tool this janky, and I've been using lots of FOSS before.
And Xcode build failures usually tell you what's actually wrong, not some obscure Java/Gradle error you need to Google for 5 minutes to find the right stackoverflow post telling you which setting to change so it will build.
i doubt you can ever effectively scrutinise the logistics. just look how creatively people can transfer drugs across the borders.
We can discount this almost instantly, mainly because humans can't do this. Humana have evolved an astoundingly fast facial recognition and analysis system, and have pattern recognition so complete that we often see faces in clouds, or tree bark or anything, really. If predictive appearance recognition were possible, humans would already do it, and we'd have evolved to fit whatever pattern of appearance denotes "success".
Trust me! I know. I know so hard. But that’s still the kind of thing they say. Everyone just up and forgot about snow leopard, or maybe they just see it as a failure if they had to do a snow leopard release (at least the program org would. The engineers would be throwing a party.)
> if you call something 'public'

It doesn't matter what they call it, the law itself determines what counts as "private" and what "public". Unfortunately I can't find the exact definition that the law uses, but I'm reasonably confident that a "lesbians with XX chromosomes only" event, even if it never used the word "public" in its marketing, would be illegal - nothing in the article suggests otherwise.
Do you think it's still there? I wouldn't mind getting a fancy office chair at discount.

Indeed, and from my point of view, that's perfectly ok.
I live in Bath, so quite a bit smaller than Bristol, but I really apprecaite the fact that we can be in the city centre in half an hour, or in the countryside in 15 minutes.

If I didn't live in Bath I'd probably live in Bristol, it's a great city. And I absolutely agree that it's kind of the perfect size for a metropolitan area.

I think a lot of London is saved by having so many parks, and so many large parks and commons. I know Paris has a lot less green space than London and when I visited I definitely felt that.

> And why would they use multiple competing package managers and runtimes?

Some of us work across multiple projects and aren't up in our arms about what package manager the current project use. Some days you touch 3-4 projects that happen to all use different package managers.
Lots of bigger companies like Zeiss or Bosch have many locations and depending on your team you might or might not end up in a really terrible location.

> would that mean life in such a town is worse than in a comparable small town somewhere in the middle of the US?

You lose a lot of the advantages that you listed such as public transportation, walkable cities and free healthcare (availability is terrible in certain locations). But honestly, it's a terrible location to live in, if you want to have any kind of social life, and consider that as a foreigner you probably don't have loads of contacts in the country.
You can manage that outside of Xcode using something like Fastlane but it's way easier in Xcode (well, kind of...).
They certainly don't know how to do this stuff with any sort of grace or subtlety but perhaps more importantly... they don't care to.

They perceive no value from "soft power" stuff like the NIH and to a large extent consider it to be (part of) the enemy.

And most of their voting base really doesn't understand a single thing about the NIH. I mean, truly: the average American doesn't know what that program even is. Other than occasionally getting roasted for funding some ridiculous-sounding project like studying depression in chickens or something.[1]

So the only real "win" here for the new ruling party is to burn it down and then brag that they saved "the American taxpayers" $XYZ billion dollars.

(Which will wind up directly in the hands of the rich via tax breaks, and by definition can't really benefit poor people because they already pay little tax)

If you do a lot of video calls, you can also consider how to light yourself so that you show up well on camera. The traditional three-point lighting setup is a good place to start. A key light which is the brightest, main light source, a fill light which is from the opposite side to soften shadows and a backlight to help you stand out from backgrounds.

That wording is worrying me as well, I hope its not a closed UI thing like Jolla did with sailfishOS...
Not all economic activity is beneficial to society though.

Economic activity generated by treating sick people from polluted air and/or water is a net negative to society; economic activity that feeds on despair (disasters, sickness, etc.) or 2nd/3rd order effects of deregulated industries is a net negative.

Deregulation can cause an uptick in economic activity that has unforeseen negative consequences later down the line which might cost more for society to deal with, even though fixing it will generate even more economic activity.
How do you disable this in a Subaru? Can you tell Subaru to turn it off or is there a low-effort way to disable it (fuse pull)?
I understand why some people use IDEs but I can't even imagine using them myself.

The first thing is that you give up control and become a prisoner to the whims of the tool developers, who think "simplicity and elegance" is a four letter word. Needless complexity and severe bloat rules the day. 90% of features you won't ever use. A build configuration and process you, and everyone else, cannot fathom. Editor defaults that seem to be carefully designed to be unlike every other editor ever written. Arbitrary constraints on pretty much everything. Platform and language specifics throughout.

I personally use Sublime Text because it's relatively simple, fast and programmable. It lets me build my process around the command line which is the only possible option for me.

I guess most people live in Java, Python or JavaScript ghettos, but I make wide use of open source on multiple platforms, which means I have to use C/C++, Objective C/C++, Rust, Java, Python, Cython and Go (I draw the line at JavaScript, never ever) and support web, Linux, Android, macOS, iOS, and winOS.

Even if you're not in my position, the platforms and languages you use very likely will change over time and maybe I'm old but it's nice when your development environment feels like your favorite old jeans or sneakers, not whatever the latest fashion in IDE corsets some team with apparently unlimited funding but very limited attention span has though up.
It's confusing because I have to assume there's a sizeable amount of people using Xcode internally to develop Apple's own apps. I guess their voices aren't heard from the people dictating corporate priority.

Uses the same code to render on server and in browser, enables moving render logic from browser to server and vice versa without doing a complete rewrite.
Honestly my read of this is that they just need some Dev Kits and an in with manufacturers. Their goal is to sell software services (which is WIP for release), and they need reference hardware for development.

They have partners via Samsung to make hardware already who is prepping to release a Vision Pro clone. HTC hardware is bulky and ugly, and more expensive for what you get compared to Meta’s products. Google would never release that as a consumer product.
Hah, them being able to bypass the 2FA by commenting-out the line:

is... mind-boggingly stupid of whoever got the job to write that Starlink web-app.

OTOH, the hacker hijacked a Starlink employee's account to get in, isn't that over the line in terms of "ethical hacking"/legality standpoint?
If it's not a "recursive mutex" (where you can call lock within the same thread on the same mutex more than once consecutively and it handled that), it's possible to lock on itself again (say in code which is recursive)...

DeepSeek shows that it is not the size of your computer that matters the most, rather your talent, and the approach you are taking.

Should have been obvious but now somehow isn't?
I agree about a true energy crisis, but it depends on how long term you want to think.

In the short term I think there's "problemists" on both left and right who actually hope for scarcity or collapse so that their preferred social system can rise from the ashes -- some kind of scaled-back communitarian socialism or neo-primitivism for the left, and various types of traditionalism for elements of the right.

> Maybe this depends on the person, but I find a device with some buttons to configure it infinitely easier and less frustrating than an app.

People's subjective experience may vary, but relying on an app objectively entails more complexity and risk exposure for the user than exposing on-device configuration.

It's quite possible that many people who say they prefer using apps do indeed experience a higher level of frustration over the full span of their usage, and are only expressing their immediate-term evaluation at the outset of usage.
In the U.S. the opposite is encouraged as we lack a lot of safe harbor laws surrounding responsible disclosure. Something as simple as seeing individual's social security numbers hardcoded into HTML could get you dragged through the mud by your state's leaders and the potential threat of jail time.

It's why you'll see a black & white approach to this among bug hunters, instead of a grey / middle-of-the-road one. Some will try to disclose responsibly, the company will deny, and by disclosing through their BBP you've technically agreed to their NDA, so you can't say a word about it even if it still exists a year later. Others will find it and just post it publicly right away, as they don't want to agree to an NDA, and a public action leads to them actually fixing it quickly instead of letting the vuln sit around forever.
Wordpress installer hit.. definitely wasn't waiting for that!

This seems like a security issue. What if you're typing a password quickly and hit Enter but it turns out that focus was in Discord or something?
Xcode is the reason i've never written true native mac apps. Ever.

I program hobby stuff in lots of environments and languages depending on how i'm feeling. I have no trouble starting up Rider, PyCharm, Visual Studio, VSCode, whatever, and writing C#+Maui/Avalonia, Rust, Svelte+Tauri, Python+QT, etc.

Whatever will work best for what i'm trying to do, or seems fun at the time.

That's for regular coding, too. I have lots of PLC environments i work with for embedded stuff (Siemens, etc).

I've learned lots of environments, and while they all have their issues, etc, they are all fairly usable pretty quickly, and stay that way.

Meanwhile, every time i have ever sat down and tried to use XCode (a bunch of times over the past 10+ years), it is so annoying that i give up in a day or two and just go use something else.

It's gotten progressively worse - it felt much easier to try 10 years ago than it does now.

It is hard to describe how strange it feels to try to use it.
I guess i'll go with "it often feels like it was created for use by some alien race specializing in industrial automation".

It's not quite right, but i think it transfers some of the feeling.

I honestly can't imagine how anyone uses it on a regular basis.
> This particular design choice seems even worse than Node.

We could argue that it's worse/better, but in the end it's just different. NodeJS when it appeared had the vibe and "marketing" to be something lightweight, fast and event-driven (compared to the alternatives at the time at least), where the 3rd party ecosystem provided the tooling for what Bun now tries to bundle into their "all-in-one" tool.

We've seen the same cycle multiple times. Developers need flexibility to configure something so a flexible solution appears, everyone gets excited and starts migrating. Eventually, more developers are tired of the flexibility and don't understand why there are so many configuration-options, so eventually a "all-in-one" solution appears, everyone gets excited and starts migrating. Eventually, people need to be able configure more things so....

That's mostly because `create-react-app` was abandoned. There is no default project template for React SPA, so everyone just uses Next, even if they don't need SSR.
IntelliJ covers all those languages. I don't use 90% of the features but the other 10% are huge productivity increases.

Blaksolvent AI News – January 23rd, 2025: In a landscape reshaped by AI innovation, OpenAI's $500B #StargateProject and #Tencent's #Hunyuan3D 2.0 mark pivotal moments, showcasing a race towards redefining technological boundaries. The Stargate initiative, with its massive investment in U.S. #AI infrastructure, aims to create countless jobs and propel AI capabilities forward, though its launch coincides with the repeal of safety regulations, spotlighting a critical debate on innovation versus ethical oversight. On another front, Tencent's open-source Hunyuan3D 2.0 promises to revolutionize #3D #contentcreation, potentially democratizing this field across industries from gaming to film. Amidst these advancements, tools like #Mistral's #Codestral and #AssemblyAI's #API are transforming daily workflows, emphasizing the urgent need for a balance between speed and safety in AI development. As we stand on the brink of this #AI-driven future, the narrative is not just about building #technology but also about ensuring it aligns with human values, fostering trust, collaboration, and responsible growth
I'd wager they're pretty good. If you can leverage a parabolic reflector at a light's focal length, you can get them to collimate in a way that approximates the sun by appearing to be pinned near-infinitely far away. The reflector is generally what takes up the space, but it's necessary(ish) -- you could approximate the effect by using a fresnel lens at the light's focal length, but it yields a smaller light with rainbowing effects.

[This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqBsHSwPgw&t=843s) does a good job of showing how to make your own, as well as illustrating how good the effect is, while also demonstrating why space-hog implementations are likely to yield good results and slimmer ones not.

This "race" is being fueled by oil giants who can reuse much of their infrastructure. The extraction of hydrogen is environmentally destructive just as it is for natural gas. The energy required for extraction is intensive, resulting in far overhyped claims of how clean hydrogen is as a fuel (this is "blue hydrogen", the kind most monied interests are pursuing). There is "green hydrogen" built from splitting water molecules, but that's only a clean energy if the energy we use to split the water molecules is itself clean.

Hydrogen is not a path to clean energy, it's a sideshow for an ostensibly-but-not-in-fact clean energy alternative by the oil and gas industry.

Ask HN: What does programming with AI feel like?
For someone coming back to programming from before the LLM revolution, what does it feel like to be fully productive with AI coding support?

Are you more productive? How? Does it feel like programming at the speed of thought or is it more like pair programming with a less experienced colleague? Is it more/less enjoyable?

Adopting workflows like TDD changes the way you approach a problem. Have AI-centric workflows changed the way you think about programming/problem-solving?

Are there any good demos of these new and improved workflows from people who are productive and have really mastered their tools?

Depends on what were they doing with it? If they were just flying with it from A to B then I tend to agree with you. If they were working on tech actually attached to the airplane (like a fly-by-wire system, sensors attached, or something like that) then I can imagine the point of it. Paperwork around test flights are hard enough without also having to convince the lessor to let you do what the FAA lets yo do.

I had to smirk at the sarcasm (intended or no).
I merely included "processes modifying their env" amongst all these historical warts. I consider doing so as inevitably necessary as append writes, the advantages of which you aptly described. That's my opinion, underpinned by the history of those interfaces. I hope we can agree that the breakage is by-and-large in an (old, historical) interface that allows braindead usage, not in either the implementor or the user ?
