Interesting. I'd make a guess. In a cat friendly city like Istanbul you'd see cats freely and safely venturing everywhere. Rats would have no chances say in a cafe where a couple cats are sunbathing. Where is in cat unfriendly cities like a typical American city the cats aren't present on the streets, probably because this is where they get caught by Animal Control, etc., and they are more confined to some back alleys, empty lots, etc. And the rats problem for example in NYC is a street problem, i.e. where the trash is. And for example here in Bay Area the several colonies of feral cats that i know about aren't in populated areas where they could have been impactful upon street rat/mice population, instead these colonies are pushed out onto the edges of wildlife areas (where they still do useful things like protecting the birds nests/eggs from rats, etc., yet it woudln't really affect rats in the populated areas)

With all due respect, it’s ironic that you’re calling everyone else simple.

Something doesn’t have to be. 100% effective to be a massive deterrent. Cheat prevention is a game of cat and mouse and anti cheat is one of the levers. Here[0] is an example of a popular game with no anti cheat which was completely ruined by cheaters. Did putting EAC into the game stop every single cheater? No. But it did make the experience better for a significant number of players who were having their games destroyed by cheaters.

Sure. And USA will follow once the dollar dominance wanes.

This is a prime example of a social problem that does not have a technical solution.

Re-think your approach.
Stradivarius violin for auction could become most expensive instrument ever sold
Nothing you said made it sound any different from a birth certificate. What proves that you are the person living at that address and that you are the one that should be allowed to update that information? Just having a list of where people nominally live is meaningless by itself. The US has that information in loads of places, it's just not treated as the ground truth.

Also that system doesn't seem to work that great, the numbers I'm finding show Japan has about 3 million identity theft victims a year. Lower than the US but only slightly lower per capita.

The biggest problem in this instance isn't that his identity was stolen it was that he wasn't believed, partially because he was homeless, seems to have some mental health problems per the article and they're a maligned group in the US, and the courts and prosecutors didn't take the relatively simple step of requesting DNA evidence to resolve the situation.
The challenge is the ensueing discussion is typically not curious, productive, or interesting.
I would encourage you to apply! We have a thorough review process and one of my colleagues will definitely read your application. I'll flag it with the DRI for the role and tell them to keep an eye out.
>The institutions that my generation was raised to respect as the foundations of the democracy seem to hold no weight or value, so it seems like the only thing left to do is just stand by to see what happens

What generation was raised to respect those institutions? Because the boomers were against them and their policies, and Gen X was cynical about them...
I remain interested in how well the EU can ride this out. Approaching tech as a regulatory/social/financial issue since day 1, they've been pilloried for not being able to make "silicon valley work in europe" which is a reasonable complaint. But, now the dark side of VC funded tech and extreme billionaire capture of the commons is coming true, perhaps the EU's regulatory approach will make for a better overall outcome?

It's rather like taxes. Yes, we hate paying them. But quality of life in the high tax nordic and european nations speaks volumes to me, of the upside benefits.
It'll be just like the 1930s with a deeply isolationist USA.

History sure does have an uncanny way of rhyming if not actually repeating.

Something that greatly galls me is that the livelihood of tens of millions of families depend on the whims of people who think only in terms of profit. Government is not supposed to make a damned profit! The government's primary role should be to care for everyone, from entrepreneurs to people with disabilities. I'm not saying "handouts for all", I'm saying that the government needs to provide stability, a level foundation for all to build upon.

It's like Venkman in Ghostbusters, in the ballroom: he yanks away the tablecloth sending everything flying except "the flowers are still standing!". The rich are the flowers, secure on their own foundation, calm with the knowledge that the guy pulling the tablecloth can't affect them. In other words, the new administration should be carefully enacting new policies not causing chaos by doing everything too quickly.

Unless their goal is to destroy the USA, in which case US citizens will need to decide what country they want to live in and whether republicans are capable of delivering that.

Yes! This is exactly right. People care(d) about abortion so they tried to fix it at the local/state level. In many ways they made a lot of progress.

Unfortunately, they then moved on when there is a lot that the federal government (the FDA, for example) can still do to effectively limit access.

And state constitutions can’t override a federal ban that’s supported by a Supreme Court that upholds it.
You’re the one making extraordinary claims, you’re the one that has to substantiate them.

What do you think is more likely, that you’re an economic genius and you can see an impending crisis that 50 years worth of economists couldn’t, and that somehow that crisis is going to happen in the next few years? Or maybe you don’t actually understand how macro economics works and have been manipulated into thinking this way by your inherent dislike of government spending?

I'm looking for a Go (microservices), Python (data engineering), or React position. Most of my expertise is in leading front-end projects, specifically with React.

I've been involved in building teams and modernizing legacy platforms, and most of my work has been with SaaS enterprise applications.
DeepSeek probably spent closer to two billion on hardware. And then there’s the energy cost of numerous runs, staff costs, all of that. The 5.5m cost was basically misleading info, maybe used strategically to create doubt in the US tech industry or for DeepSeek’s parent hedge fund to make money off shorts.

Personally I'm rather happy that the allocation was not too large at first, even that is quite a sizeable sum. The EU is great at kickstarting projects that sound like a panacea, but end up not leading to anything. Once they have something to show, by all means, throw more money at them.
> Whining about it doesn't help though, and it won't get them out of this mess.

Are we sure? Them keeping quiet while fascists run rampage gives me the feeling of "not saying anything means you're consenting". A gruesome analogy that doesn't fit, because it's the nation getting raped (or since it's Trump, do we want to call it sexual assault), and it seems the Dems were supposed to be another guardian of the nation...

> Would be a massive hit I wager.

I strongly doubt it. Steam already tried releasing a console alternative, Steam boxes, and they massively flopped. By and far the main reason for the Steam deck's success is its portable form factor, not the fact that it's a linux machine that runs games. It succeeded in spite of the software, not because of it.

The overwhelming majority of users are going to want either a "real" (read: Windows) PC, or a "real" (read: the same one their friends have) console.

Well, what's the alternative? What's not "woowoo"? Something along the lines of "you are bad, tainted by original sin and deserve to suffer?" Or is it "you need to hustle harder?" Well, guess what - self-harm is no more productive than self-delusion.
Respectfully, it's you who's been misinformed by viral but false monetary theories. It's true that the US government can't run out of dollars in the same way that you or I might run out of dollars. It's not true that the government has no fiscal constraints, or that taxes and spending are unrelated parameters.

> The interest is interest we choose to pay, for some reason.

Perhaps this is the best point to talk about, because the precise way in which it's untrue is very concrete. The US government doesn't choose how much interest it feels like paying; it sells securities which promise a specific payout schedule according to an auction-set interest rate. If investors want to buy at a high interest rate, there's no mechanism for the government to demand they accept a lower one.
With ADHD, I'd recommend the reverse. ADHD is one of the few things in psychiatry that in many cases can be diagnosed or ruled out very quickly, in big part because the effective medication - stimulants - are one of the very few psychiatric drugs that work instantly, and have obvious effect. People with ADHD have a different way of responding to those than people without, and therapeutic change is drastic enough to give useful information to a doctor over couple days worth of therapy.

For that reason, I recommend not just talking with any psychiatrist, but specifically one who specializes in adult ADHD. This is because the "failure mode" of a person with ADHD going to someone who dismisses the possibility and "wants to rule out other things first" can be disastrous. It's highly likely that such a person will be treated for depression first.

In contrast to ADHD, it can take years to rule out depression. The process usually involves a combination of drugs and therapy. Therapy is basically dating - for it to work, you need to find a therapist that's a good match for you personally; determining patient-therapist fit usually requires at least couple sessions, so it may take you a year or more of switching therapists every other month before you find the one that can help you - and that's if someone even tells you that you're allowed and supposed to switch therapists if it's not working out with your current one, instead of trying to power through (or blaming yourself). And, to make it worse, the deal is similar with the drugs.

First-line pharmaceutical treatment for depression involves drugs that universally take at least a month to fully kick in and start showing any positive effect. There's couple families of drugs, couple variants in each, and you're supposed to rotate through them (and dosages) until you find one that has noticeable positive effects, and side effects you can deal with. Worst case scenario here is, again, years of wasted time (and money, and your will).

Maybe you'll get lucky and get the right drug the first time around. I sure did with the SSRIs I got prescribed back almost 20 years ago. But, if you (also) have ADHD, you're screwed anyway. Those drugs don't just take a month to kick in - they take a month to wear off. Things get better, you stop paying attention, get too distracted or anxious to renew your prescription, stop taking the medicine, and by the time you realize your mistake, you're back where you started except now also ashamed and reluctant to call your doctor.

I'm not saying to assume you have ADHD or dismiss other possibilities - just don't set yourself up for failure by going to the "default" doctor that is likely to follow the "default" procedure and treat you for the "default" condition that happens to be one of the hardest ones to diagnose and treat.

Python Free-Threading Guide
There is a lot of truth to this point that not much time has elapsed yet.

But, I think a lot of the thread is more informed by things that have already happened over much longer periods of time in the recent past than it is by the things that have happened in the last couple weeks. Specifically, there is a large amount of information available on the behavior of the current president during his last administration, and on the actions of the person behind the DOGE efforts.

Nobody is under any obligation to maintain a veil of ignorance about who these people have shown themselves to be. They have not earned any benefit of any doubt.
> The people who put Trump in office want

That's not remotely universally true, but that's also not what you asked about
I think we’re all aware of that.

Irrespective of whether our system of checks and balances is working (it isn’t) it’s still worth pointing out exactly what rules and norms are being broken.
When? After the 5th failed attempt?
I'm not being snarky, really. I was a little struck by:

>After the session, I felt that it might be valuable to write my own thoughts up, and add a little more detail. So here we are.

did the senior developers at the session stay to listen to each other? do you all think alike, did you learn anything from them, or feel that anything they said should be written up?

I guess I'm thinking, what would a junior developer take away after listening to all the presentations, or what should they, from the pov of the senior developers?
This sounds like an interesting idea that has scope beyond the legal profession and into areas such as shared service management (where you might need multiple levels of management to review, edit, sign-off a comms before sending).

An 'approval to send' option might also help here.
This quote is inaccurate. The actual wording is: "the placing on the market, the putting into service for this specific purpose, or the use of AI systems to infer emotions of a natural person in the areas of workplace and education institutions, except where the use of the AI system is intended to be put in place or into the market for medical or safety reasons;" and it links to https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/recital/44/ for rationale.

So, this targets the use case of a third party using AI to detect the emotional state of a person.

Ask HN: Milestone Based Equity for Developers?
Our sales and C-level employees have milestone based equity incentive programs. I was wondering if there is any equity milestones that could work for developers?
Yes. Some systems can be made more accountable. They can provide traceability from their inputs to output, provide reflexive access to source code they run, and provide evidentiary traces for reliability.

Safety critical systems that operate faster than human reactions are not accountable. So that's why we never make them responsible. So who is? Same as for bridges that fall down -- the engineers. People forget that civil engineers sign up for accountability that could lead to serious civil or even criminal liability. Which is exactly the point of this aphorism.

Boeing was facing criminal charges, and is currently under a consent decree for exactly this kind of sloppy systems work.
I mean, that at least sounds good, but in fact that would not be a start as it has no possible impact on these individuals on a personal or professional level.
In most cases today if we don't attribute a direct crime solely to one person but instead to an organisation everyone avoids criminal prosecutions. Its only the people who didn't manage to spread the blame through the rest of the organisation that go down.
Apologies but you simply have not grasped the sheer difference in scale between now and then: the number of people who are reasonably competent with a terminal nowadays would absolutely dwarf the total number of people who owned computers then... and the former are an undeniably tiny minority in the total number of people who own computers now. You really, really need to get out of your bubble.

> The major reason people don't use command line interface on windows or smartphones and other appliances, is because it does not have anything remotely comparable pre-installed, so they're forced to use the inferior interface.

Your career embed isn't working.
The plist is no issue, but it's the values therein where you run into typedstreams. For every setting for the Script Editor's formatting, is a separate dictionary, with an NSColor and NSFont key set to a data type value. The data is a base64 encoded `streamtyped` file. Passing it through base64 decode and running `file` on the output gives back `NeXT/Apple typedstream data, little endian, version 4, system 1000`, just as in the OP.

> They could moderate the price for eggs if they wanted. Tariffs on fertilizer will matter in the medium term, so they should have exempted those.

For an economically smarter tariff response from Canada, rather than 25% on US imports, we could have put in export tariffs to equalize everything at 25%, so e.g. 15% on energy and whatever theoretical amount on fertilizer to bring it up also to 25%.
