> Why pay for a service, and have the little mental overhead of it existing, when I’ve duplicated it on my own site?

For me, because Pinboard has IFTTT integration where I can feed a whole bunch of things[0] into it automagically. None of the self-hosted services has IFTTT integration or, as far as I've seen thus far, webhook functionality I could feed from IFTTT[1].

I've got a self-made feed from Pinboard to a self-hosted linkhut which works fine (absent the archiving capability but I've never really used that anyway.)

[0] Although sadly that list does keep shrinking as arseholes close off / commercialise their APIs.

[1] A REST API doesn't work because they rely on setting the 'Authorisation' header which, AFAIK, isn't supported in IFTTT's webhook.

May I ask what your actual gripe is with level of spending that was going into research before?

Is there actual evidence that shows there was an issue that needed to be immediately addressed the way it was? Some evidence of "fraud" perhaps ?
The strange thing is that AI tools would be used a lot more if they weren't being positioned as an alpha stage for AGI. There are things that LLMs are genuinely useful for, but they seem to get used in these large scale agent style tools which regularly fail and are thus not used very widely. Give me some smaller focused tools with high accuracy and everyone wins.

In the Czech Republic at least, Google Maps now shows "Mexický záliv (Americký záliv)". I'm not sure which countries still see the original name other than Mexico.

The most common thing that causes me pain in git today is asynchronous review of a chain of commits.

If you work in a commit to trunk model, every commit needs to build and pass tests and be a self-contained unit of work, ideally small, so it's quick to review.

Since you don't want to be held up by the speed of review, you make more commits, each one building on the last, to form a chain. The chain of commits is reviewed, each commit separately, and they're merged in order as you go, in one big bunch at the end, or some mix. That doesn't really matter.

The problem is addressing review comments on early commits in a chain. With git, you need to stash your work or make a WIP commit, jump to the right commit, made edits, then rebase the rest of your chain on that commit. This requires fiddly copying of commit hashes or a proliferation of branch names. If you have a tree of commits instead of a linear chain, it's even more work.

Ideally, when looking at all the comments on your chain of commits, you just make local edits and run a magic command which amends every commit each edit "belongs" to, automatically - this is what `hg absorb` does in mercurial.

(All of the above shouldn't be mistaken for saying jj makes this easier to do. I don't know if it does. I just know that git is painful for this workflow and I'd like something better.)

The idea that something is fundamentally wrong with your brain when you do it is very naïve. Despair exists and the problems aren't always "just in your head".

Have you tried asking your colleagues? What did they say?
Fleet was a strategy to counter vs code. As such it did not work that well. It's not feature complete enough to consider as an intellij alternative and a bit too different for vs code users to take serious. So, easy to see why they are pulling the plug on that.

Vs Code of course is the wider ecosystem of plugin compatible editors based on the vs codium platform. This includes a lot of the recent AI editors, and several non vs codium based editors that can integrate the plugins (e.g. vi).

The core issue is that Fleet is outside of that ecosystem and doesn't have the community or user adoption to get that fixed. It's a chicken egg problem that's hard to fix. It's being pulled two directions. On one hand you have existing intellij users who use that to do most of their development. And on the other hand you have people that are using vs code and depend on a lot of its plugins. Fleet is a bit of an empty room for both groups of users. None of my more serious projects load correctly in fleet. I've tried it a few times and it's just missing too much stuff for me to take it seriously. And I bet VS Code users would be equally unhappy.

Fixing that would involve bringing over the majority of features from intellij and vs code, and recreating those in fleet. Which of course wasn't really happening given that it's being positioned as a closed source platform.

IMHO keeping Fleet closed source was the mistake that doomed the whole effort from day 1. In short, they were on their own and not really able to pull that off. Google is understandably focusing on supporting intellij, which at least has an open source core. Providing an open source core for intellij in 2009 was the key enabler that allowed them to move from eclipse to intellij. Google embraded it in 2013. Some of the older people here might remember that Android Studio started out on the Eclipse platform. Eclipse support ended in 2015. Open source is what made that transition possible.

Which of course raises the question what the whole point of a closed source Fleet was given that users, plugin developers, and major partners like Google are all focus on the open source ecosystem around intellij. And the rest of the ecosystem is vs code based.

Answer: there is none. Hence this foregone conclusion.
It is interesting what might become fuel one day.

I was 14 when, within months: my mom's dad died, my dad died, my mom was diagnosed with the melanoma that took her 7 years later, a fire took the longtime family home. And she developed trigeminal neuralgia - a 9-10 for pain and she had it on both sides of her face. All of this impacted her. And us. For her part, she carried on with work and managing a family.

Fast forward. Well into my own marriage, my wife spiraled into mental health issues that subjected the kids and I to decades of sabotage, abuse and ceaseless, exhausting catastrophes.

I too learned that when I am hallowed out, I can continue on. When I am beyond my own help, someone else might not be and there might be something I can do. At this point, helping others is pure self preservation.

Westlaw's headnotes are primarily just snippets of the case with tags attached. They are really crappy. I hate them. Some lawyers love them.

Westlaw protects them because they are the "value add." Otherwise their business model is "take published decisions the court is legally bound to provide for free and sell it to you."

An LLM today could easily recreate the headnotes in a far superior manner from scratch with the right prompt. I don't even think hallucinations would factor in on such a small task that was well regulated, but you can always just asterisk the headnotes and put a disclaimer on them.
Back in the day you would have used .NET plugin for browsers, which got replaced by Silverlight plugin, nowadays it is WebAssembly, really nothing new per se.
This seems like it could be useful for game engines—continuous 3D scene updates from RGB input sound a lot like dynamic world streaming. Could this be practical for real-time asset generation or scene reconstruction in games?
OK, I can make it output the secret as text.
This probably exists but what I really want is a way to keep changes that are not yet commuted with branches they belong to. I know that I can stash but it's not the same because the stash becomes a mess. I also know that I could commit and later before pushing merge commits together into one that resolves the branch. But it would be hard for me to remember that I did that after switching branches and coming back.

What I'm really getting at is, I want a system that records all changes I make and then let's me very selectively choose which of those are pushed to others. Git is definitely the least bad solution now but it's not as seamless as it could be.
As if developers are consistently chosing to embedd WASM, just wait after the hype cycle dies.

What we have now is lots of hype, mostly by folks clueless of their history, in the venture to sell their cool startup idea based on WASM.
A gracious end to Webb-site
But you have demonstrated that you know what the arrow means. Do you have your editor configured to display special symbols for all whitespace characters? Including newlines? Are you sure that you aren't just annoyed by looking at stuff you're not used to?
We do. Like others have said, they're unusual here -- in part, because culturally we drink a lot more coffee than we do tea, but also because heating a large-ish volume of water with a normal American outlet takes awhile.

My solution to drinking a cup of tea is also unusual: I have a no-longer-in-production Sunbeam Hotshot and I use it heat only as much water as I need right now.

It raises one tea-cup worth of water from whatever temperature it is that comes out of the cold tap to boiling in about 40 seconds.

I just dump a cup of water in, push one button to heat it up, wait until it boils, and then push another button to dispense that hot liquid into the cup that I'm using for tea.

It then turns itself off until next time.
Ah this could have been clearer -- the context is userland emulation (and I expand that to broadly mean emulation/VMs and even containers -- i.e. the current group of options). It's not that Wasm is likely to run faster than native, it's that it runs reasonably close to native speed when compared to the other options.

Separately, it also matters what you consider "native" -- it is possible to write programs in a more efficient language (ex. one without a runtime), apply reasonable optimizations, and with AOT/JIT be faster than what could be reasonably written idiomatically in the host language (e.g. some library that already exists to do X but just does it inefficiently).
> Yeah I know, that's not really why I feel guilty, at least not exactly. I feel guilty because I noticed signs of someone who was suicidal, and explicitly chose to not do anything. Even if nothing would have changed, I still think I should have tried to do something, even if it was futile.

I understand; I have some similar regrets although perhaps not on the same scale. You held yourself to a certain standard, so you're disappointed in yourself that you didn't reach it.

I suppose this is the difference between knowing the path and walking the path - in theory we all know how we want to react in such a situation but when the time comes, the reality is often not exactly what we imagined and so we are still unprepared and make a choice that we come to regret. I think it's like any disaster - you'll get it wrong the first few times, no matter how prepared you think you are.

Thin consolation I know; like I said, I hope you can come to terms with it.
Grief and postpartum is a very dangerous combination. I know someone who landed in a mental facility for 5 weeks when her baby was barely 4 months old. Seek help, consult a psychiatrist, get therapy. Don't be afraid of medication, there are antidepressants that don't filter into your milk, and the doctor will know which ones they can safely give you, just tell them you're breastfeeding. You can manage going to therapy with a baby, many therapists allow you to bring your child. Don't let other people take control when they assume you're weak and failing, you're not. Take care.
I think you have misunderstood the term "ruling class". There is only one ruling class in a country, and the ruling class is not a monolithic entity. It is composed of different interest groups. But ultimately, these interest groups belong to the same class.

In a rough analogy, there're many companies, sometimes they unit, sometimes they fight against each other, but they all speak for the board, who rules the company, just an analogy

and, there're no "personal aims" in politics, personal aims can never play a decisive role in politics

Even in the most centralized empires, the emperor could only rely on a specific political group of the ruling class and could not achieve his political goals alone

I found many HN users thinking like this, "what if Xi want to ..." "Putin decided to do ...", in fact, before they do everything, they has to unite at least 100 others, and should be on behalf of majority of the ruling class

> a state using violence to further political aims

all states using violence to further political aims, otherwise there'll not be polices, prisons and army, even the state itself

> Also, when the political systems break down, i.e. personal political aims begin being openly pursued through violence, the order of impact starts with the poor.

personal rebellion is not revolution, because it's not organized, let alone class revolution, black panther movement is more like a class revolution

speak of "violent revolutions", althusser talked abt this:

> When the bourgeoisie is politically in a position to use violence, when it uses it, then the masses can only respond by revolutionary violence. But if, at the end of a long class struggle and heavy sacrifices, the balance of forces is found, in some particular place, to be both highly favourable to the proletariat and united workers, and highly unfavourable to world imperialism and the national bourgeoisie, then a peaceful and even democratic transition becomes possible and necessary.

although i don't agree all of this
I just want to say that we all finally are using mostly the same VCS and that is actually an undervalued, beautiful thing. An actual “standard” that is almost universal.

It used to be such a mess with all the VCS systems and having to know all of them to commit on various dependencies from different projects.

I know that jj can be backed by git. But already it doesn’t need to be. Between this and other projects, I don’t have to squint too hard to see a future that looks like the past. I hope I’m wrong.
Since Trump’s first term, the US has had 25% tariffs on solar panels from China and a few other countries, which certainly wouldn’t be helping.

That said, the Australia price seems particularly cheap; is that before grants and things? In Ireland, say, it’s typically 1.5-2eur/W before grant (grant is .7eur/W up to 2kW, .2eur/W up to 4kW, capped at 1800).
OMG I didn't realize that had happened. That sucks. Omnivore was great. But now I'm really glad I didn't make it part of my processes.
Sounds good. Do any of these have iOS or Android apps?
To your first question, I don’t know. We do celebrate her birthday, light a candle whenever we walk past a church / go into a temple etc. If I’m brutally honest I think it’s more for my own sake than his.

To retain the connection, we look at photos together every week and I tell him stories about her, and their relationship.

I spoke to him just now, and he says that he misses her but is unable to articulate how. Perhaps these ceremonies will grow more important over time, and as he grows older perhaps he will appreciate that we took the time to celebrate her.

I have an adult friend, who lost his mother at a young age too. He tells me that he only really started to miss her once he got older, around 12, and as an adult. He doesn’t remember who she was or why, but he misses the idea of having had family dinners at home every day etc. The dynamic in a household is very different when there is one adult and one child at home, versus two adults to a child.
If the actual act of resource acquisition isn’t actually meaningful to gameplay, it should probably be eliminated outright. The correct thing to do is simply consider it a resource node with ownership, and grant resource stacks automatically at a given time interval. This is probably the cheapest, easiest strategy while allowing for gatekeeping.

In animal crossing of course, half the point of the game is to kill time peacefully, so it wouldn’t apply. With the game in question, the meaningfulness is unknown
>Excuses

That's not an excuse, it's exactly what happened according to Google: "We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources."[0]

>No-one else in the world uses that name

Immaterial.

>and the U.S. doesn't control the majority of those waters.

Neither does Mexico. Mexico and the US are both in the Americas. Similarly immaterial though.

>Google is kotowing to authoritarian nonsense.

Google is doing the exact opposite of what you're claiming by instead not changing their procedure as the politics administration changes.

>There's no reason they need to follow the executive branch's naming scheme.

Sure there is: consistency of following authoritative resources.

>We're not a fascist state (yet). They can use whatever name they want, they can use the name that's internationally agreed upon.

I think you're being a bit histrionic here. I suggest spending a day away from the screen.

There's a pervasive idea amongst science communicators that you have to use common childlike words to make science accessible -- there's a fear that technical words are elitist and exclusionary. The end result is that every science documentary is now presented like a kids TV show, even when it's targeted at adults.

EDIT: Forgot to add, the researchers referred to it as a "Ferroelectric soft material".
I was always very frustrated with git workflow for working on multiple features/bugfixes simultaneously (multiple branches [1]). Changing between them, or combining them for testing is tedious -- constant stashing, switching, cherry-picking. Conflicts fit very poorly into git's version control model - you can't just tell git to ignore some conflict and continue for the moment so you can take care of it later. You have to stop the thing you wanted to focus on and instead babysit git because it found a conflict. Etc.

These are less of an issue once you've molded yourself to fit into git's strange ways, but jj feels like a much nicer tool -- especially for beginners, but feels like it frees up cognitive space even for more experienced folks. You can focus less on the tool and focus more on what you actually want to do.

[1]: I've tried using multiple working trees, but that workflow never really "stuck" with me.
They did? Interesting, do you have a link to this? Can't seem to find anything about it.

I was about to give a presentation on app sec trends and that memory safety guidance was part of it...
I like to explain this state to people by saying that my circuit breakers popped.
I suppose because they are catching them when they are at ~0m/s in the atmosphere so they're worth -8km/s worth of momentum to begin with. So you would have to fire them out a >8km/s to get a net +ve change in momentum.
There’s a demand aspect; you generally have to produce a version per market. ~No EU-spec cars would be saleable in the US, as they wouldn’t meet safety standards (for instance, very different rules on lights) and vice versa. These standards can often seem trivial, but having two versions of a car is expensive. So “doesn’t meet safety standards” usually means “it is not worth anyone’s time to produce a local version, either for demand or tariff barrier reasons”.
Well to me the report is mostly useful to illustrate the volatility of hard drive failure. It isn't a particular manufacturer or line of disks, it's all over the place.

By the time Backblaze has a sufficient number of a particular model and sufficient time lapsed to measure failures, the drive is an obsolete model, so the report cannot really inform my decision for buying new drives. These are new drive stats, so not sure it is that useful for buying a used drive either, because of the bathtub shaped failure rate curve.

So the conclusion I take from this report is that when a new drive comes out, you have no way to tell if it's going to be a good model, a good batch, so better stop worrying about it and plan for failure instead, because you could get a bad/damaged batch of even the best models.
You need to know why the host did that though. The host might have an adversarial strategy where they only open the door when using vos Savant's logic would make the player lose.

Her logic was really interesting, it is easy to see why she gets to write a column. But at the end of the day the problem is technically ill-formed.

> There’s no way he can always open a losing door by chance!

Yes there is, he might have picked a remaining door at random with the plan of saying "You lose!" if he finds the car. An actor with perfect knowledge can still have a probabilistic strategy. That doesn't really change the decision to switch, but it does have a material impact on the analysis logic.

She's correct that is a necessary assumption to get the most interesting form of the problem. But that isn't what the questioner asked.
Litigation takes forever. Especially when you factor COVID in. I'm still litigating cases from over a decade ago that are probably several years from resolution, just in the district court. Then you can spin through appeals courts for another five years. And that's civil.

Criminal, especially a death row case, can take 20+ years to exhaust every level of appellate review. In Illinois there are at least nine levels of review available to you without going through second rounds of review, state habeas, and collateral attacks like applications for clemency, pardons etc. If you're not paying for lawyers, expect each level to take around two years or more.
That is exactly the problem. When my family watch science documentaries I die inside a bit. They seem to have left with some insight but they managed to slap about 20 words together and some fancy scenes and extrapolations and turn it into an hour of garbage.

Just use Eclipse or Netbeans instead, I never liked InteliJ for Java development due to its continuous indexing, errors have to be explicilty asked for, and the ten finger combos for shortcuts.

VSCode is anyway running either Netbeans or Eclipse headless for its Java support, better use the real deal.
