Auto-commit of large files and no way to un-bloat your repo is a showstopper for me no matter how good the DX might be.

Large file handling needs to be sane in any new VCS, IMHO, as this is a main failing of git (..without the extra legwork of git-lfs).

Sustainable Development? Protect the environment? Promote social justice? Equitable access? Driving inclusive growth? Eliminating biases? Not excluding underrepresented groups?

These are not the values the American people voted for. Americans selected a president who is against "equity", "inclusion" and "social justice", and who is more "roman salute" oriented.

Of course this is all very disorienting to non-Americans, as a year or two ago efforts to do things like rename git master branches to main and blacklists to denylists also seemed to be driven by Americans. But that's just America's modern cultural dominance in action; it's a nation with the most pornographers and the most religious anti-porn campaigners at the same time; the home of Hollywood beauty standards, plastic surgery and bodybuilding, but also the home of fat acceptance and the country with the most obesity. So in a way, contradictory messages are nothing new.
Why not just address that singular issue (if true and truly problematic) just be addressed then get back to business as usual ?

How do you know the money going to the university isn't just forwarded onto the professors so they are funded? Doesn't sound that suspicious to me.

Fun fact, chokidar is a Sanskrit word meaning watchman.

It has an interesting root, it comes from the Proto Indo-European word for "four", because he must watch any enclosure of four walls. This ancient word is the source of the Latin "quartus" which comes into English as "quarter"

The PIE sense is echoed a little in phrases like "living quarters", "give no quarters" etc
"woke and DEI phrases"?

>America existed very prosperously for over 200 years with such a system

The difference is visible in maps of "foreign country where most non-native residents come from" across the US.

Before the 1970s, this was very diverse. People came to the US from all over. They came, learnt English, and became Americans.

In the decades since, the map has become a single colour in every state from North to South because the overwhelming majority of immigrants are illegal immigrants from a single pretty impoverished country. They move to the US, do not integrate, don't learn English, and don't become Americans.

And guess what? People don't like it.
Psychology Tips to 2X Your Onboarding
Dead? No no er no... he's resting.
You also have to remember the context in which the “chants” were passed down. It is better to see the Rig Vedas and the Vedas as a ritual manual for doing a successful rite. And the success of the rite was paramount. One wrong action, one wrong word would spell disaster for the efficacy of the whole endeavor. People prepared for a long time to do the ritual.

You had several priestly functions, like the Hotar, who recites the invocations of the Veda, and there is also the Brahman. The Brahman checks if everything is done to precision and no mistakes are made. If there are, they need to do corrections.

This is another reason why one can say it has been passed down without much change. There is a critical edition by scholars that reconstructs the changes in meter that might have occurred, but nothing else.

This is just hysterical nonsense. As the population has grown so have standards of living for those in advanced and developed economies. Countries that go downhill do so for reasons separate from population growth.

Much like the "peak oil" hysteria of the 90's your claims require that society as a whole doesn't do anything to solve problems, or adapt to changing circumstances.

If population growth really was the problem, then reproduction would be discouraged. But problems of pollution and resource use can be solved by changing policy and behavior. We can become much cleaner and more efficient without forgoing the very real benefits of population growth.

I work in the pro audio world, and have had many opportunities over the years to participate in the design review process for multiple synthesizer musical instruments.

One of the most common issues that gets people riled up is Fitts Law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law

It seems that many synth UI designers have small, thin, bony fingers, and overlook the issues that comes from having knobs placed too close together. They like to design tight, compact, "valuable looking" knob panels, and I like to inform them that these designs are nonsense and some consideration should be given to the spacing of things.

This has an impact on the end user with fat fingers, since moving one knob should not provide the opportunity to accidentally 'bump' or 'jog' another adjacent knob - there simply has to be space to allow for market finger types.

(In spite of the fact that these are mostly German designers, asking them to review their designs in the context of automative controls, has been a herculean effort.)

So one of my favourite toys in my arsenal when confronted with a new, fresh-faced designer full of impactful and dense design ideas, is an Arduino with an LCD display attached to a breadboard, and 4 movable knobs which can be placed in an approximation of the design. I wrote a tool that displays a UI with a fine-tune parameter, and whenever I get a chance I lay out the knobs using the designers intended dimensions, and ask them to fine-tune the parameter.

If they can do it one-handed without bumping other knobs (and thus triggering the :P emoji and siren noise), they get a pass and a check-mark on their design doc.

If, however, their dimensions make it impossible to move only a single knob, they get a little :P mark on their review documents, and my designer-killer tool gets put back in the drawer for another day.

I will have to review this toy for the context of display-in-control style interfaces in the future, it seems ..

Not sure if I understand where the complaint is coming from. Sounds like he was simply reminding everyone that you have to take one opinion or another. The term for those people who want to prohibit dissent is “fascist”.

Feel free to break it down for me though if you want since I can’t understand the issue, maybe it’s my learning disability.
> The only protection against this is the strength of character of the owners and editors.

I couldn’t agree more. Sometimes I wonder whether it actually is a loss that people are less Christian. Especially protestantism which places a high emphasis on always doing the right thing even if nobody is watching (because God is always watching and you can’t just pay your way out of sins like in Catholicism). I’m not saying religions are perfect. They often hinder innovation which I think is a problem, but there is definitely something to say in favor of it.

Relatedly, Buffett learned from his father (biological; not holy) to keep an “inner scorecard”. So don’t do things you think other people want think is best (external scorecard), but do things you think are best. I suspect Buffett’s inner scorecard has helped him a lot in his career. And probably also helped him sleep good too.
LLMs have no sense of humor.
I feel like the author correctly identifies the problem - what he calls the rot economy - but I find his solution lacking. This isn't something we can fix bottom-up, with, pardon the exageration, "good guys in tech companies".

The author barely mentioned the stranglehold Big Tech holds over the white house, which is now more apparent and concerning than ever. Things don't turn to sh*t automatically, real anti-trust and definancialization policies need to be passed, to stimulate this clogged up economy. But this isn't a goal of the current administration, so don't expect things to change anytime soon.
Show HN: LightPHE: Lightweight Partially Homomorphic Encryption for Python
Homomorphic encryption enables computations to be performed directly on encrypted data without requiring access to the private key. This allows data to be securely stored in the cloud while still being processed using the cloud’s computational power. Meanwhile, the cloud remains unaware of the actual data it is handling.

Although fully homomorphic encryption has become available in recent years, when considering performance trade-offs, partially homomorphic encryption proves to be a more efficient and practical choice. It is significantly faster, requires fewer computational resources, and produces much smaller ciphertexts and key sizes. If your specific task doesn't demand the full homomorphic capabilities, opting for partial homomorphism is the logical decision.

Herein, LightPHE is a hybrid PHE library that integrates multiple encryption schemes, including RSA, ElGamal, Exponential ElGamal, Elliptic Curve ElGamal (Weierstrass, Koblitz, and Edwards forms), Paillier, Damgård-Jurik, Okamoto–Uchiyama, Benaloh, Naccache–Stern, and Goldwasser–Micali.

The same is true for the HN comment I replied to, which was basically going *shrug*, but also without any army to enforce that. So I pointed out that some people went beyond just shrugging, because it could not go on like this; and here is what they wrote. Just reading these things does a person good, and to stand up for these things you first have to know them.

Even just saying the whole thing out loud again and again, makes the talk better. Because, you would understand what you whizzing past, what you are spending time on and reduces the time you would buffer while talking.

So you bought an iPhone because of its "(product) design" (how it fullfill your needs) and not about "marketing" (how to define the markets for a product and why people in these marketing will buy it...).

As I understand it, for example, there's markets for "broken watches": it can be

* broken luxury watches: to have a "rich man look" without paying the full price

* for hobbyist watch-repair

* for professional watch ressellers (after repair)

* for educational / museum...

As far as design is concerned, the watch is broken. But it can be sold if you find who will buy it and why... and that's marketing

Jobs was a great designer too... (and/or knew how to hire great designers and let them get out the best of them)

Indeed. Our American values are and always have been Equality, Pursuit of Happiness, and legal justice respectively, as declared in our Declaration of Independence[1] and Constitution[2], even if there were and will be complications along the way.

Liberty is power, power is responsibility. Noone ever said living free was going to be easy, but everyone will say it's a fulfilling life.

My (old, obsolete) car's knobs not only stop completely at the extremes, but they aren't truly continuous but have "stops" every half degree that you can feel in your hand while turning them without looking at them at all.

Oh wow. So you can put in a prompt, get a mockup of an app and get to the front page of HN with that now?
I mean, the browser itself was made to display complex UI elements, and is optimized for displaying interactive dashboards (at least it tried to in the last 20 years).

Plus, computers are fast enough, if something is somehow still slow, you can still make it seem fast if you add proper transitions and fix the timing of animations and loading order. For example, maybe one log file is 10GB, of course the browser will crash if you try to load all of it in the browser. Simply preload the latest 1000 lines, then use websockets to load new data as the user scrolls. Now, if you scroll first and then load the data, the app will seem slow, the trick is to start loading the data when the scroll already reached 90% of current buffer. Anyway, tricks like this will make any app seem instant, even if things still actually take time to load.

It strikes me there's no particular reason a modern Nazi should hate Jews when there are plenty of other groups to be scapegoated, like immigrants or liberals.

I don't follow what this article is trying to say - if the point is to have more interdisciplinary research, isn't project-focused funding precisely what's needed? Researcher focus seems like it would focus on that researcher's discipline, not an interdisciplinary team.

In fact, my experience in a Japanese lab made me feel funding precisely goes towards researchers rather than projects if professors count as researchers. Professors get funding for their labs, and while there will be project proposals the perceived value of that professor is key for closing it.

Maybe the article is focused more on private research labs than universities though.
