It is interesting that this site uses “avoiding drama” as an excuse to enforce a very strict and ideological political position of cheerleading whoever exercises the most political juice on any given day.

It is also funny that when pressed on it dang insists that this practice of explicit unconditional endorsement of the current administration is both unavoidable and emergent, not something intentionally and methodically foisted upon the users here. The censorship is good and necessary, there are some things that folks that come to HN just should not read about or discuss.

This line of excuses falls completely apart, immediately, when you consider how trivial it would be for this site —made for and by software engineers— to simply have a subforum where this sort of “flagged” political content gets moved to rather than removed. The choice to memory hole anything that remotely stands the chance of being an interesting discussion that doesn’t cheerlead the current administration is very much intentional.
It is named after Amélie Poulain - from the movie Amelie :)
Congratulations on your project!

Out of curiosity why don’t you put the source code on github?
Interesting, I guess the language is now supervised by a committee which means there is no chance in hell it will be fixed.
I'm not sure why the focus on "young" parents. Consistent parenting is very important at any age. Kids need their parents to be reliable and dependable with clear expectations and boundaries or things can get bad very quickly.

Inconsistent and unpredictable parenting is a common factor in children with oppositional defiant disorder and treatment often includes working with the parents as much as working with the child.
I don't think these posts are being flagged in good faith.
How do you see what is going on now as a class issue? There is no clear class division between Trump's supporters and opposition. If anything it's the opposite of what you seem to be thinking. Trying to frame it in those terms is failing right out of the gate.
I don't want to invalidate your feelings but I've had the opposite experience. I've been chronically depressed and have had multiple stays in psych wards but I'm finally starting to heal. I'm able to experience this pure joy that I haven't felt since I was a little kid. My life is still very difficult but I haven't felt this alive since elementary school.
So they have a dataset, and they’ve cherry picket a time period to time period, and not done any location based sorting etc, to suit a narrative.

Whatever pays the bill I suppose.
It's weird how something as simple as a friends list can turn into a memorial over time
I would note that stagex is 100% reproducible, and full source bootstrapped.

Every artifact is reproduced and signed by multiple maintainers on independently controlled hardware and this has been the case since our first release around this time last year.

For youtube there is a "YouTube no Buffer"[0] extension that does precisely this - stops videos from autoplaying and buffering when you open a link.

I have this plugin, Leechblock and ublock filters (blocking any mention of shorts from the site) to make yt less addicting. And it kinda works.

I would never use a Phillips screw in anything that needs to be maintained over time. They're just far too easy to strip, and they're easier still if you get the wrong size driver. For example, a PH3 driver in a PH2 screw or vice versa are a disaster waiting to happen.

Pozidriv screws are marginally better in this regard. You can use a Phillips driver in a Pozidriv screw, but to get the best benefit you will need a matching Pozidriv driver instead. The possibility of user error due to driver size mismatch remains.

Note that the opposite is not true; using a Pozidriv driver to drive a Phillips screw will do even more damage than a Phillips driver ever could when the screw bottoms out, on top of damaging the driver itself.

Torx screws are far better, and unlike Phillips and Pozidriv, the wrong size Torx bit will simply either completely not fit, or wiggle and spin fairly freely. If it does spin due to being undersized, the only damage you're risking is usually to the driver, leaving the screw still usable and removable.

Note that the usual caveats about torque apply. If you're using an impact driver that kicks out over 200 Nm on its highest setting, you'd better be using a driver and a screw rated for that, regardless of what you end up using. Or you will snap something either way.

> I ended up paying to keep the deceased’s phone number active for a while

I've ported a few numbers that I wanted to keep for a bit without needing the cell plan any longer to a Google Voice account. Then I just forward the number to my own cell phone.
This reminds me of the presidential election where most credible institutions talked about 50/50 odds and where subsequently criticized after Trump's clear victory in terms of electoral votes.

Few people bothered to look at the probability distributions the forecasters published which showed decent probabilities for landslide wins in either direction.
My kids got this delayed gratification stuff from the beginning but mostly in the form of. Yes you might get that cookie at the bakery however you have to wait to eat it until after dinner.

I'm much more worried about the general lack of resilience and self-reliance I see in a lot of kids and teens. I think it's caused by a combo of parents and schooling. Also the level of anxiety seems very very high.
The requirement to prepay taxes in cash and the forfeiture clause are both highly uncommon.

Employees typically rely on the company to handle tax withholding, rather than manually calculating and prepaying.

Seeking professional legal and tax guidance is recommended, and a collective approach could strengthen your position.
This is an extremely reductive and bleak way of looking at states. While military is of course a major focus of states, it is very far from being the only one. States both historically and today invest massive amounts of resources in culture, civil engineering (roads, bridges, sanitation, electrical grids, etc), medicine, and many other endeavors. Even the software industry still makes huge amounts of money from the state, a sizable portion is propped up by non-military government contracts (like Microsoft selling Windows, Office, and SharePoint to virtually all of the world's administrations).
Exactly. Also stop being a US patsy and cats paw. Maybe even develop friendly relations with our neighbour Russia and buy energy from them etc.
How about that for a crazy idea?
This got me too, but on reading, it's clear the author means parents of young children.

Since the focus of the article is on child development, it's reasonable that it limits its scope to parents of young children, and not e.g. parents of 50-year olds, even if building trust might be nice there too.
There's a good BBC documentary if you're able to find it. The original source was: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000xw3j
I have never written Java projects so big that used Maven in any capacity. Instead, I'm using it with C/C++ as you guessed and Python. Also XML, JS and other supported parts of the projects I write go through Eclipse if the projects themselves are beyond a certain size.

For C/C++, Eclipse has a "so-called" indexer, which indexes the whole project, does static analysis on the fly, provides great auto-complete and warns you about gotchas. Since it can read the whole project, it has a better view than a C++ LSP, and it works reasonably fast and provides great detail.

Also, Eclipse has "Linux Tools Integration", which is also a boon for C++ development on Linux.

All in all, it helped me to build a materials simulation code without any memory leaks and with great performance insights, so I can't complain. Plus, I love build and launch profiles of that thing.

Gerrymandering did deliver the narrow Republican majority in the House this time, which is critical to the ability of Trump and Musk to ignore the law.

The US president has also tabled demands that would see Nato military spending targets more than doubled to 5 per cent of GDP in a bid to end Europe’s reliance on Washington.

Isn't the whole goal of Trump's 2% demand to buy more American-made weapons?

If the US does not back NATO countries, and demand 2-5% spending, what's the point of NATO countries even buying American weapons?

Lastly, is it really fair for NATO countries to spend at least 2% on their military if much of that budget goes to American companies?
By that logic, photography, digital painting, music production, and even architectural design wouldn't count as art because they involve tools and technology

Didn’t Germany try that already?
Yeah, this doesn’t work either as a serious site or as satire.

Somebody wasted a significant amount of their time on this slop.
It's not just a US issue, see also the actions and concerns of the UK Conservative party post-Brexit.

There's a lot of things the marshmallow test might signal, but most kids probably aren't spending a lot of time performing cost benefit analysis when faced with the problem. I wouldn't doubt that kids with trust issues would tend to do worse. Certainly the ones with behavioral/executive function/developmental issues do worse than others.

Normally I don't eat marshmallows and I don't crave for them.

But once a pack is open and I get one, whole pack just goes. I find texture quite satisfying and since I eat them once in couple years it feels like something new and different from normal stuff I eat so it ends up "just one more" until there is no more.
Just saw a social media post of a guy here from Romania going with his first generation Logan all the way to Eastern Siberia / Mongolia. Great cars.
Is it fair that the US has to keep subsidizing Europe, a collection of countries that constantly complain about the US? That tax and fine our companies while criticizing the US for its lack of a welfare state?
Sorry? What does my post have to do with accelerationism? I am not arguing any of this is good. But what country has ever voted its way out of fascism? I'm sure there's a good example somewhere. Pinochet maybe? Typically the route goes liberal democracy votes in far-right power, far-right power doesn't let "moderates" regain control, far-right state can't find stability and people get fed up with a state that prioritises the needs of thew few over the many, state must be scrapped and rebuilt to restore any semblance of democratic rule. People who think you can moderate between the far-right, liberals, and all the long list of terms to the left of that—basically the entire political spectrum—are typically really bad at fighting the far-right because they take them in good faith. Which is dumb: you can't win an argument with an anti-semite (or other similar movements today) because it was never a rational belief but an enjoyable activity for the people to take out their miserable personal problems with hate and paranoia, and messing with good-faith liberals is funny and enjoyable and easy for miserable people. And who knows what the politicians actually believe when they'll say anything to get elected.

But, I will personally enjoy watching americans discover what america has always been on some level. Institutions are not going to fight for us. Institutions haven't wanted to give us most or the rights we take for granted today. We need to do more than vote if we want democracy to mean more than voting. We need to (gasp) be honest with our neighbors, not avoid uncomfortable topics, and critical of the people we vote for. For a country that prides itself on being a democracy we aren't very good at the fundamentals.
The detail about kurgan burials being the reason we even have this data is a good reminder of how much of history is just luck. So... what other massive historical movements we've completely missed because the evidence didn't survive.
Which is great for most stuff, but doesn't seem to stop facebook 'reels' from animating. They must do some trickery like loading a short animated image as a 'teaser' before rendering the actual video on click.
I feel like this article is good, on the verge of great, then makes cultural comments that invalidate the point trying to be made for no real reason. Like the race or location of the parent determines their childhood?

The rest is spot on. I became a parent before I was ready, and man, they are little sponges. They learn everything you do, everything you say, embarrassingly so. My 5 year old would lay on the couch to 'rest her back' like me. She'd say weird country sayings I learned from my own Dad, like 'kneehigh to a cricket.' I had a habit of saying 'dicking with' to mean 'messing with' until she got scolded by a teacher at the ripe old age of 7.

The hardest part for parents today seems to be putting their phone down. It's what the kid and Mom have fought about forever, then applied to me. It's so easy to lose yourself in your social media, work, reading, etc. and kids are super receptive to it. But not as that effort, but as having a parent who stares at their phone unattentively. Our kid made her own 'phone' out of cardboard as a child, pretending to read and chat on it. That struck me deeply.

I never had social media, but as a voracious reader still find myself falling into the trap. Kids notice. Kids today have it harder because of that. My parents didn't have the Internet, they created the world we lived in and tailored it to us. I think that's incredibly rare today.

Now she's 13, knows it all, and doesn't want to be picked up anymore. And I tell you, I wish I never had a smartphone at all.
okay there are some reasons ...
Psychologists, in my experience, seem to be strangely unaware of what is taken seriously by other psychologists. They're generally 50/50 on Freud, for instance, and the half who don't care much for him also don't think anyone does.
Ask HN: Local Translation with Layout Recovery
I am sitting on a pile of interesting historical documents that I would like to translate for my own research .

I am impressed by services as deepl or ‘in place’ ocr, translation and layout recovery done by Safari, Google Translate (Camera mode) etc.

But these methods are not very practical for lets say 500-1000 A4 scans (of low quality print, with widely varying layouts).

I have been exploring the standard tools (tesseract with bounding box finding etc) but with very bad results compared to the (cloud/closed) services and apps mentioned above.

As mentioned in the title, I would like to run this locally, for mostly practical reasons (no need to upload gigabytes of scans (images) to some service).

I found a promising approach here[0], but sadly cannot get it to run at all.

In the age of computer vision, machine learning, LLM’s do you know of any tools, approaches, technologies and techniques that could help accomplish my goal to translate my scans in a way that the (widely varying) layout is preserved?

So after all the drama with the 4090, this is where we've landed? Another generation, another round of melted connectors.
That seems terribly unfair to marshmallows. Smores, lucky charms, rice krispies treat/bubble slice, and hot chocolate wouldn't be the same without them.
He's definitely narcissistic. But that doesn't make him wrong. It suited the Japanese board very well to paint him as corrupt and get rid of him. Nissan's performance after that took a decidedly downward trajectory. Which is why the merger with Honda became a kind of hail-Mary strategy recently.

There was an interesting interview with him where he commented on the, then, still active negotiations about a possible merge of Nissan and Honda.

Very interesting to listen to. He identified that there was essentially no synergy between the two and that a merger doesn't really make sense for either company. They don't really complement each other. After the merger, you'd merely have two of each in a gigantic company that isn't performing great. Similar cars, going after similar buyer segments, competing EV strategies and related investments, etc. Except Honda is a bit better than Nissan. So, they'd be ending up inheriting a lot of problems whereas Nissan wouldn't really gain anything they don't already have.

The core issue is that Nissan in particular needs to adjust course and is not willing to do that. That's also the reason this deal is collapsing: Honda doesn't want to make Nissan their problem and Nissan is rejecting the notion that they need to change.

Ghosn's analysis was pretty sharp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljewn28Korw
Yes, there are advocates for technocracy on here, and they think they can gain from this. Being "thoughtful" doesn't make any of their specific arguments for it more or less valid. When you have to move away from the thing in question to supposed qualities of the supposed "many" people who are for it, that shows you the thing in question might not be defensible.
Must not be the same Taiwan I live in. When I go out to eat I constantly see mom, dad, and kid all zonked on their own devices (usually a phone, granted, not an iPad) instead of having a meal "together." I've also seen plenty of meltdown tantrums. If I had to square your observation, I'd say it's just because there are fewer kids, period, than almost anywhere because people aren't having them.

Yes, and I agree that the wholesale takeover of state governments by State GOPs is a precursor to what Daddy Trump is doing. They are brazen about it too, disregarding the will of their own Party's governors sometimes.

However, Senate and President were elected by a plurality of the electorate.
Well, he’s an associate and we’ve always been on good terms, diverging politics notwithstanding (I lean more dead center with a healthy distaste for authority and as I said, he’s MAGA), and he knows exactly why I don’t like DJT (I see right through him, because I’ve watched people exactly like him my whole life). Having grown up adjacent to, but not part of, the elite, his type is not uncommon. The ones that had family money, but never actually put any effort in to learn anything or do anything on their own. Or worse, pretending that they were doing big things by talking loudly and showing off, but actually failing at everything they did try. It’s not uncommon. Plus having worked in gaming, I would be downright ashamed if I went bankrupt not just once, but twice running a casino. That’s like an easy-mode business. I mean, come on.

Anyway, I know deep down he got it. But it’s always that moment of realization that I find satisfying.

I did it to eff with his head. It’s that moment when the cognitive dissonance pulls apart and the lucid thought makes a connection, but before the dissonance sets back in. It’s like watching someone melt for a split second.

Yes, I’m an ass.
I would never think of giving my toddlers a mobile device in the first place...
They ignored economic problems for a majority of the population similar to the republicans for 20 years and focused on projects(wars) and culture war topics that are big mostly for the wealthy elite offspring of the ever shrinking middle class. They are by definition unable to act, all they want, left,right,center, is to conserve longer,slow down the decay.
