I am doing fine. Thank you. Also I am not a language warrior. I do have my preferences but use many since I am an independent and work with many clients.
Can someone explain why this is downvoted. Just curious
OP means 4o
If you listened to Trump, Gazans have to leave because every building in Gaza is demolished. Which was done under the careful watch of our previous president. So I doubt they feel much other than helplessness
“Only 43 pounds” or 9.7M fatal doses.
That’s not lottery mentality and thinking that it’s equivalent is why Europe isn’t innovating.

If someone wins the lottery and gets rich, society isn’t better off. If someone starts a new company that made a cure for some disease and gets rich, society is much better off.

You absolutely want to attract people that want to make huge breakthroughs with unlikely odds of success.
Isn't the elephant in the room here the massive overspending on the US military which Trump and Elon and Satya and Bezos and Altman don't seem to care about?
So it looks like someone next to Trump is actually taking foreign policy plans from Curtis Yarvin's essays: https://graymirror.substack.com/p/gaza-and-the-laws-of-war

> Here is what the Israelis would do: cut off food, power and water to Gaza, do their best to give everyone a safe way to walk out unarmed, house them in spartan but livable conditions, and send the Gazans to another country—preferably one in which they speak the language.

> ... And the site will be ready for development. Did I hear someone say “beachfront?”

> .. [Israel] could collectively grant them a slice of equity in the new Gaza. The new Gaza—developed, of course, by Jared Kushner—is the LA of the Mediterranean, an entirely new charter city on humanity’s oldest ocean, sublime real estate with an absolutely perfect, Apple-quality government
It does sound like a skin disease
And still shoot yourself in the foot.
I can see how that is a mechanism for fixing leaks, but not for building a dam from scratch.
Estimated beaver populations was around 200 million before "beaver hats" became a craze of Europeans that led to populations being hunted down to less than 10 million. We have no idea how radically different the landscape actually was when beavers roamed. Now that we're finally allowing numbers to rebound we're realizing how much of our infrastructure is built around the assumption of a beaver-less landscape
The orders against China, Canada and Mexico all halt a trade exemption, known as “de minimis,” which allows exporters to ship packages worth less than $800 into the U.S. duty free, arguing it has helped Chinese e-commerce companies undercut competitors with lower prices.
Precisely. There’s no wisdom in the approach. “I’ll try refactoring - that’s a good trick!” is a poor approach.

You can try it, but the consequences of a poor refactoring? Look to the planned economies and five year plans.

The government is not a codebase; that mistakes its artifacts for its process. And the importance of process - in politics, in government - cannot be overstated.
I agree with that and write access is concerning but there is no evidence or information about doge employees modifying cobol code.

From the article, the closest thing they have to an evidence is a search query. Rest of it is pure speculation since none of the people who reached out to author has any kind of visibility into what is going on.
The lemon parser generator is actually a delight to use if you're into that sort of thing. Paired with re2c you have a combination that rivals yacc/bison IMHO.

As this proposal does not cover consent for everything a "cookie banner" would, the title is simply wrong.
I don’t think that’s what the comment said at all. You’re extrapolating too much.

Explaining the pendulum swinging violently because folks didn’t feel heard is not the same thing as saying that it’s a good thing that the pendulum has swung so violently.

If the sentiment upthread holds, and large numbers of US academics move overseas, then relatively shortly, Europe may shift towards being more willing to make big research bets.

The population shift introduces new ideas, new perspectives, new ways of operating research, new connections towards funding and money, new views on what big bets even means.

The influx of foreign scientists and academics into America over the last century caused significant shifts in how America operated and viewed the idea of research and academia. Post-war Europeans (Von Braun's crowd being an obvious example) caused a large shift in the way America funded "big bet" projects. Saturn V perhaps. Same may happen in Europe.

Those academics can use HN from the opposite side of the Atlantic. VC money especially has the possibility of being territorially bound, yet its often far less constrained by the those types of lines in the dirt than many funding opportunities.
I don't think licensure is really that much of a barrier, though. One of the huge trends going on is that nurses are increasingly replacing doctors in primary care. In my market it's unusual to have an actual doctor as a primary care provider. These nurses just go through some additional training for a PA or NP license and it's still a great deal cheaper than medical school.
Who is carrying the stick? Not me! No one I voted for!
By law, he has no such power. Congress has made impoundment illegal.
They sure make money though.
Sorry, but most of this is uninformed gibberish. The PRC and its army (the PLA) have experienced nothing short of a breathtaking modernization for both the country and military.

Most of the points raise are simply wrong.

> 1.) too much corruption within the military. also no real war experience for 40 years

China has corruption, yet is able to modernize and build up the military at a pace exceeding the USA's, which spends at least 2x more.

> 2.) not enough oil to supply all the ships needed for invasion. look at how Russia's column of tanks failed in the early invasion of Ukraine.

China is one of the largest oil producers in its own right. It extracts around 4 million barrels a day. The rest is imported, but primarily used for cars -- China's industry and rail networks do not rely primarily on oil. Due to China's transition to electric vehicles, they may have hit peak imports of oil.

During the US Gulf War, even with the tyranny of distance, the DoD used about 400k barrels a day:
"Even during the peak of US military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and “normal” training activities and force movements, the Defense Department’s daily average fuel use was nearly four hundred thousand barrels per day—an amount equal to slightly more than 10 percent of China’s domestic crude-oil output.38" [1]

China produces about 4 MILLION barrels a day, which is 10x 400k barrels. Also, China would be fighting on the front door step.

3.) China is broke and you need money for a war against US and Japan.

China has MULTIPLE TRILLION dollar funds. Did I say MULTIPLE? [2]

Plus, there's the annual TRILLION dollar trade surplus.

4.) China imports most of its food and oil

China imports a lot, but they are self-sufficiency on a caloric basis. The oil imports are primarily for cars. The country doesn't rely on oil for industry.

5.) Taiwan has very advanced anti-ship missile systems, homegrown and from US. and once a ship is sunk near the landing, that then prevents other ship from landing, basically piling up ship corpses.

Read the Japanese government's assessment: "China’s military has the capability to land ground forces on Taiwan within as little as one week after imposing a naval blockade on the island, according to a Japanese government analysis of Chinese military exercises conducted last year." [3]

The financial incentives a specialist headache doc has whos spent the time and money to get to where they are would never tell a patient to eat less and radically adjust your diet for your ailment to go away, they wouldn't have patients coming back to them and they would go broke (that education was super long and expensive). I like the uncanny idea of getting rid of training requirements and let the free market handle it.

That kind of change though would leave someone with the bag and tends to never get voted or happen so we stay stuck in the over priced pharma, insurance, beating around the bush health game were in. Everyone is incentivezed to keep the bandaids rolling. Don't tell people their drug habits (I mean eating habits) are killing them.

Ohh wait, we got a new pgp blocker for you!

Google was already asked and they said no. They want to keep their non-standard RCS, both server-side and client-side and will not share it.

Or more specifically: it's a different product ("Google Messages") that just happens to be based on RCS.

They do have some partnerships with hardware manufacturers that ship Play on their devices, and they will preload Google Messages in there as well.

In essence, it doesn't exist in AOSP, and doesn't really live side-by-side with a normal messaging app (i.e. one that only does baseband native messaging), I wouldn't be surprised if the partnerships and preloading conditions state the manufacturer can't ship their own version (I think at least Samsung had to drop their own "Samsung Messages" app as reported in one of the reviews of a foldable display phone).

In a way, RCS made no difference, and whatever Google did was mostly just to compete with Meta (both FB Messenger and WhatsApp). Fun fact: Google Messages is closer to Matrix than it is to iMessage in terms of comparable technical features.
Thank you for that necessary context.
They are trying to close the de minimis exception which is a, "100-year-old tariff loophole that Trump wants to close."

Most people (all sexes and genders) are bad at handling rejection, period. It’s why online dating is popular in general—a rejection over a digital medium is a lot less intimidating and less confrontational than the same in person.
Also doctors can be compelled to sign enforceable, legally binding noncompetes. Unlike most of us, they have to move far away to change employers, thereby making competition in the health care space very difficult.
I remember that one!
In Slack people don't even consistently use threads, because they are not forced to, so conversations are strewn all over the place, interleaved with one another. Slack has no model of a discussion in the first place.
The job requires 20/20 uncorrected vision near and far. After 50, that starts to become pretty darn rare. The mental load required to keep all of these moving parts in your head and recall both what you have instructed them to do and what needs to still be instructed in the very near future requires a mental acuity that is not a young person's game. It can also take years for an ATC to have the experience required to meet the most pressing needs. I can see why they don't want to waste their efforts on people likely to be unqualified soon after reaching a useful level of experience.
But it certainly didn’t seem to guarantee certain doom as claimed sometimes these days.
Remember when the FBI and NSA were trying to outlaw encryption? Like a couple years ago? How the turn tables!
Eh, yes and no.

Git porcelain stuff's plenty good for probably 95% of users. `rebase -i` comes with a guide on which commands do what, and you could write a couple of paragraphs about how to format `git log`'s output with your own preferences and tradeoffs -- and porcelain usually includes stuff as eclectic as `git gc`, `git fsck`, and `git rev-parse` by most accounts.

Git plumbing's definitely a bit more obscure, and does a bunch of stuff on its own that you can't always easily do with porcelain commands because they're optimized for the common use cases.

TL;DR: while Git's big (huge even), a lot of what it provides is way off the beaten path for most devs.
Don't underestimate the pettiness of this administration.

Why stop the packages though? Just make the shipper declare a value and let the receiver pay the tariff if they want their package.
THC% has skyrocketed over the last 20 years, that’s well documented. I know from experience that one time is all it takes to mess you up.
Your brain is not receptive. This could be a worse, however. If you have schizophrenia within the family, you might be at risk. The doctor strongly recommended I do not take any cannabis because there is a risk it triggers a psychosis episode. I wouldn’t see cannabis having no effect as good news as that’s not representative of the average experience.
Or China pulled the plug and this is just PR? Meh. I don't think anything's going to be "clear" here. Brinksmanship is literally a policy based on uncertainty and fear.
That paper isn't showing real ML syntax itself; it's a mathematical presentation to demonstrate how the type system algorithm works. The actual original LCF/ML syntax would differ. I don't believe it used an actual lambda character, although for the life of me I can't find any evidence one way or another, not even in the LCF source code (https://github.com/theoremprover-museum/LCF77)

But yes, the slash is just an ASCII stand-in for a lambda.

ETA: I tracked down a copy of the Edinburgh LCF text and I have to eat crow. It doesn't use a lambda, but it does use a slash rather than a reserved word. The syntax, per page 22, is in fact, `\x. e`. Similar to Haskell's, but with a dot instead of an arrow.

Look, the plausible version of this is spelled: "force the AMA to allow and the USG to fund more residency slots, so the supply of MDs can meaningfully grow, and the premium they demand be reduced. Also maybe let NPs and CRNAs and the like practice more independent".

But throwing medicine to the whims of the market is absurd. We're going to pick surgeons by reading reviews on Google?
You're thinking backwards! Environmentalists doing restoration work on former wetlands will often look for historical signs of where beaver dams had previously been and rebuild them. Beavers have a very keen sense for the ideal location to build dams.

Estimated beaver populations was around 200 million before "beaver hats" became a craze of Europeans that led to populations being hunted down to less than 10 million. It's hard to understate how deeply landscapes in North America were shaped by beavers
bingo. taught and reinforced with consequences.
I'm not talking about "asshats," I am talking about violent abusers—95% of whom are men! It's nowhere near close!

I'm sorry about your Adverse Childhood Experience, but you're way out of touch with the statistical reality here: the "Western world" is overwhelmingly patriarchal.
What the fuck does this even mean? Is it agreeing with me, arguing I am wrong, or simply stating something related/orthogonal?
With most of my guides I try to make it so you can quit reading when you feel you've read enough. No need to read the whole thing.

And on that note, I feel like the guide covers maybe 10% of Git :), but hopefully 90% of common usage.
No. Source control is not that complicated. Git is just bad. As an existence proof: Mercurial is much better and simpler.

I can teach someone who has never even heard of source control how to use Perforce in about 10 minutes. They will never shoot themselves in the foot and they will never lose work. There are certainly more advanced techniques that require additional training. But the basics are very easy.

Git makes even basic things difficult. And allows even experts to shoot their face off with a rocket launcher.

Git sucks. The best tool doesn't always win. If MercurialHub had been founded instead of GitHub we'd all be used a different tool. Alas.
Alternate framing: "A 100-year-old thing you could do that Trump is trying to tax, also without getting permission from Congress."
I fear there is no reaching some.

Orwell wrote about this in 1984 (and also, incidentally, fought fascists on the ground during the Spanish Civil War):

"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink."
So you mean like collaborating on a document? Modern word processors are versioned, or you can use text and your own VCS, same as with your code.

Is your issue that you want to discuss the thing you are collaborating on outside of the tool you are creating it in?
Honestly the wired one should have gotten flagged too - it's as unsourced as the other 12:

"Wired: Reports that Marko Elez, a 25-year-old engineer linked to Elon Musk, has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the U.S. government. The sources are unnamed, and they claim Elez has administrator-level privileges, including the ability to write code on the Payment Automation Manager and Secure Payment System."

It's an endless circle. No one is willing to stand behind the reporting, no one is willing to go on record. I almost regret wasting as much time trying to get to the bottom of the story because I feel stupid for trying to peel back on these layers and finding nothing -- like they were trying to take people on a ride and I fell for it.

I guess it could be worse though - I could have just taken them all at face value. Even the 'anonymous sources' appear to be second or third party on TOP of being anonymous.

EDIT: To clarify, if you were referring to https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-associate-bfs-federal-... that is the one with no real sources. If you meant another source about the audit in general I shouldn't have assumed -- it's just in the list of the 13 I have reviewed with no substance.
I found your networking guide as a kid with only some scripting experience, and it served to get me into C programming in general, so I have a special fondness for it.

"With Apple Invites, users can create and easily share invitations, RSVP, contribute to Shared Albums, and engage with Apple Music playlists."

Correct me if I'm wrong:

- create & share invitations: must have iCloud+

- iCloud shared albums: barebones upload/download on non-Apple devices

- apple music: cross-platform, must be subscribed

- RSVP: cross-platform (Apple account req'd)

So yes, it "works" outside the Apple ecosystem, but missing features to encourage lock-in.

I love how that page is from the AMA, the organization that is largely responsible for pushing Congress to institute the residency caps in the first place because they feared too many physicians would drive down existing physician's incomes.
Agree and didn't mean to imply otherwise.

A good book by an expert is still better than LLMs at providing high-level priorities, a roadmap for new territory, and an introduction to the way practitioners think about their subject (though for many subjects LLMs are pretty good at this too). But the LLMs boost a book's effectiveness by being your individualized tutor.
My understanding is you can stop answering at any time and invoke, but of course this is used by police to start you talking in the first place.

It's also unprecedented that a current president's administration would collude to charge the primary opposition of it in a presidential election across multiple jurisdictions, including with an unlawful special counsel appointment, yet here we are.
