From the outside we can see longe marriages as cute, but that is only that.

Better switch partners and seek hapinness than to live in a bad marriage.

People change and so should relationships if the people in it don't find them suitable.

The title is misleading. Microsoft deleted their article documenting the bypass, not the workaround itself.
TFA talks a bit about shiny object/library syndrome. I think there's another good reason to avoid new things: LLMs are better with old stuff.

I can sit down and essentially english-type an app together in javascript or an old version of bevy, but if I ask for new APIs it all falls apart until I have built up sufficient examples in my own code. I've tried giving documentation, etc. It's just easier to version pin something from 2022 and chug along using a less featureful but more productive assisted-coding paradigm.

I've tried to get PCBs fab'd stateside and I think its multidimensional. I didn't NEED to get them made stateside, but I wanted to try. The price for a board for a run of ~150 fairly simple PCBs was 2-3x what the chinese fabs offered. On top of that, American fabs are typically for ITAR/defense contract work. They'll snub their nose at small orders, give you the runaround, etc.

When working with Chinese fabs, the main downside is the time difference. JLC and PCBWay have both been great to work with, offer a good price, especially for a hobbyist(which is important if you want more hardware R&D).

Ask HN: How do you handle long PDFs?
I'm working on a niche market document product with LLM powered search and data extraction. Ive been developing with nextjs for the frontend and using pdftron for rendering PDFs in the browser. PDFs are linearized and size optimized, but loading times can be very long, 10+ seconds before I see the queried page rendered. I think this is because the PDFs are very big (sometimes 3000+ pages).

How would you handle this? Should I figure out a way to break into smaller files? Is there a better front end component for loading/rendering pages? Should I move to a nextron type app and make sure the files are present locally? Any suggestions appreciated.

> Objects are extremely good at what they're good at. Blind devotion to functional is dumb.

Maybe "mutable objects"? Maybe these were intended to be isolated statements? Personally I believe functional programming is great with objects too...

It is however true that many OOP-embracing languages tend to favor an imperative style. Scala is an example of a language that embraces both.
You can disable Kagi’s AI answer feature in the settings. But, personally, I find it extremely effective. If I want an AI answer I put a ‘?’ at the end of my query, if I don’t use a ‘?’ then I get a regular search engine set of results. Really simple UX.

Not the parent commenter. Git the version control system is superb, fast, robust, well-thought out. Git the CLI tool is by far one of the worst CLIs I have ever had the misfortune of using. I think the one-dimensional, string-y command-line massively complicates mental and reasoning models for a tool with a fundamental data structure—a tree—that is multi-dimensional.

A powerful Git GUI makes even moderately-complicated actions like cherry-picking, interactive rebasing, and even ref-logging absolutely trivial. In fact it was precisely said GUI tool that allowed me to develop an intuition for how Git worked internally; the CLI does no such thing.

> Most programming should be done long before a single line of code is written

Nah.

I (16+ years developer) prefer to iteratively go between coding and designing. It happens way too often that when you're coding, you stumble across something that makes you go "oh f me, that would NEVER work", which forces you to approach a problem entirely differently.

Quite often you also have eureka moments with better solutions that just would not have happened unless you had code in front of you, which again makes you approach the problem entirely differently.

Not to politicise this discussion, but the country is called 'The Republic of Ireland'. The phrase 'the Irish Republic' references the 1916 Easter proclamation, and has specific political and even colonial implications in Ireland. It's frequently used on BBC news, but never in Ireland where it would have a similar connotation to 'the free state' or other radical republican delegitimisations of the Irish state.
Ask HN: How to handle pushback on a team switch?
Here's an _imaginary_ but common scenario in the corp tech hemisphere:

VP: Gives the IC a dubious signal about a promo in the next cycle, mentioning tenure, budget constraints, or something incredibly vague.

IC: Lets go of the promo and seeks to switch teams at the same level in search of more interesting work and possibly to avoid a similar situation in the next cycle.

VP: Feels betrayed, claiming they were working hard on the promo case and that it might have happened in the next cycle.

IC: Gets accepted into a different team and wants to transition to the new role as smoothly as possible without burning bridges.

VP: Demands a three-month grace period.

IC: It wouldn't be fair to the new team and would probably result in losing the opportunity.

How should the IC navigate a situation like this?

Inequality has generally gone down as time goes by.

Because regulations cut both ways. They stop bad actors and they stop innovators.

Innovators thrive at the start of an industry, later once its commoditized, its going to be driven by people who want to cut corners. See enshittification.

Regulations put a ceiling on harm by bad actors.

Either we need industries that do not obey such laws of physical reality and entropy, or we need to accomodate for the most probable occurrence efficiently.

You will always have examples of failures of these regulations, the measure of their efficiency is from the counterfactual losses and gains.

This does a clever job of dealing with the multiple varied inputs to a scenario.

A real budgeting scenario might have 2 * 3 * 7 * 4 * 5 * 3 * 9 * 2 * 5 = 226,800 possible outcomes, so the obvious question is what UI do you use to consider/narrow down that beast? You need tools that let you slice and dice that output based on different sets of criteria.

The simplest might be something like, "rule out all solutions that total more than $5000" but you also need things like "I will only pay for a total of 3 streaming services, rule out all scenarios with more than that" and "if I choose not to have a car, then I have to get a transit pass and an e-scooter"

I almost feel like, as clever as this is, the harder problem is the one I describe above.

You can do it whatever way you want but match the style of the project. I've worked on too many projects where someone decides their way is best and you end up with a mix of everything.

If you want to change the code style, okay, but change it everywhere and don't forget to test everything you've changed.

You now have to work a full time job to pay the property taxes, the rest of your living expenses, and try to save for retirement. Same thing applies in LA, NYC, SEA, etc.

So what you are saying is that ONLY if you work your brains out AND win the "lottery", then you can have a decent retirement in the US?

Maybe Europeans are just too smart to accept that kind of proposition.

The "American dream" is a lottery system used to lure people into doing hard work and consequently rewarding only a few.

And what Native American tribes sometimes did to each other was genocide. There were lots of actors in the fight for the American land mass - the US , the British Empire, the French Empire, Mexico, the Japanese were even having a look. So I don’t think it is as simple as saying the US committed genocide of the Native Americans, who were actually many different tribes often warring with each other. Their way of life was bound to largely die out once the modern world arrived.

I 100% agree. The problem is that after a half a century, software engineering discipline has been unable to agree on global conventions and standards. I recently had an experience where a repair crew was worried about the odd looking placement of a concrete beam in my house. I brought over the blueprints, and the technician found the schedule of beams and columns within seconds, pinpointed the beam and said, "Ah, that's why. We just need to <solution I won't go into>". Just then it struck me how we can't do this in software engineering, even when the project is basically a bog-standard business app: CRUD API backed by an RDBMS.
Totally agree, this is my main complaint against Google.

I generally agree with your posts/comments, but anyone trying to "do good" in the USA absolutely needs to have liability protection, such as an LLC or a corporation shell of some kind. The moment one starts to make a difference in this corporate controlled nation, the full legal power of both the corporations and their owned government minions will rain down on you. I've seen it. If you're trying to make any kind of a difference, get liability shells around your activities, or you'll be ended the moment you gain traction.

People demanding 80 columns always have some crazy setups, like an IDE where the editor is just a minuscule square in the centre, like an Osbourne 1 computer.
Gaining voters from the right shouldn't be the Democrats primary focus.

Their primary focus should be retaining voters, by broadening the range of opinions which are acceptable within the party.

They are a decade down a purity spiral, which has resulted in the range of acceptable opinions within the party shrinking considerably, and the shunning of many individuals unnecessarily, who either stop voting altogether or find company on the right.

I gave the example above of how the republican party is able to accomodate a significant number of both pro-life and pro-choice members. The Democrats will similarly need to learn to expand their umbrella as well. Perhaps not with abortion rights, but maybe by shedding some of their zero-sum economic thinking, or race-centric thinking.

If they can fix this, they will grow, because their biggest source of new members is young adults becoming eligible to vote, not people they pull away from the right. The Democrats just need to stop churning so many people away.

I sincerely hope US and Canada can regrow some manufacturing capacity. I think the only way to do it is by a one-two punch, and middle class like me are going to seriously get hurt, but I still want it done, for the sake of later generations and for a better, safer, more competitive humanity. Safer because a successful reform removes the need of a world war.

The one-two punch is:

1) A massive devaluation of housing, stocks and other similar items. The reason for this is we need to introduce local, more affordable merchandises, which can only be brought by cheaper lands, cheaper labor -- but no one is going to work $6 an hour (about 45 Yuan per hour, more or less on par with the better paid Chinese manufacturers I think) unless, unless housing and renting costs a fraction, like, 20%. That's why I said we are going to get seriously hurt. This is basically a wealth transfer from the richer to the poorer.

2) Educate a whole generation that labor is honorable, so that engineers, scientists, technicians and such get more respect (I mean real respect, not the superficial one nowadays) than lawyers and bankers. It's a social change that takes at least one generation, perhaps two. Maybe I didn't put it right, but by saying getting more respect I'm basically saying getting an equal pay and equal say.

But I'm seeing is that US is taking another darker road.

Hey HN,
I built Shell Sage – an AI-powered CLI assistant that helps with:

Error diagnosis (explains terminal errors & suggests fixes),
Natural language to command translation,

The EU has enforced a new system that ensures VAT is being paid over imported goods.

For some Chinese stores, that essentially blocked off all of the EU because they don't want to raise prices to pay tax for EU customers. The lack of taxes or import fees together with enough stickers and stamps that say "GIFT" are the whole reason many shops have western customers in the first place.

Customs takes forever to clear a Chinese packages now, they're not letting themselves get rushed beyond doing their job. Not every package gets checked, but a lot more do, and drop shippers are not very happy.
>People who stress over code style, linting rules, or other minutia remain insane weirdos to me. Focus on more important things.

This sticks out like sore thumb to me and I think you are coding solo for 10 years. If you manage to lead a team of developers or work with them you are screwed without linting rules and standardized code style. Even if they are applied it takes months to get to a get a team working in harmony - without them it will be a disaster.

- merge conflict hells because code style diferences
- bad for code reviewers
- bad to ready everyone's different code sytles.
