Very common. This often stops the amount being put in the court records, but having settled one recently I think it is hard to hide these payouts from an informed, determined member of the public.

For instance, my settlement had to go through the financial committee of the county. Which means the lawsuit was scheduled as a line item in a televised public debate. Also, you could at least FOIA the bank records to a degree and reverse-engineer any payouts.
Conway takes this next level with On Numbers and Games. Very openly acknowledges the debt to Dedekind. Also Knuth did something similar with his Surreal Numbers book. I think he even wrote it as a kind of chaste romance novel, but I haven't read it so have no further comment.

> This is not possible in Java or C#? Both of those languages are so simple to grasp.

Not really, no.

Apart from the cognitive burden of knowing the test framework in use, the DI tooling in use, the Mocking framework in use, plus all the annotations that each framework may want/need, almost none of which applies to the Go projects I've seen, the languages themselves have drifted away from simplicity.

I used to program in C# but left it for a long time and only recently looked at it again. C# is approaching C++ levels of syntax indecipherability.
None of these are "existential" threats, just relatively minor inconveniences for companies their size. And it's not like regulation will go away in the EU just because Trump comes to power.

With absolutely no malice intended: you step back a bit, lick your wounds, and try to figure out why your message and candidate failed - just like the GOP did for the past four years.

Four years feels like a long time when it has just started; it isn’t so long at all in hindsight. Moreover, you have two years before the next opportunity you have to disempower Trump (midterm elections). The campaigns for those start in a year or so, so if you’re going to cripple Trump by taking back Congress now is the time to be introspective.

The electorate is not irreconcilable, but change doesn’t happen when you double down on the same course.

I have a puzzle for you:

Let's say we have a democracy where the only rule is highest vote wins. Let's say 51% of the people vote to enslave/oppress the other 49%.

Maybe they vote for literal chattel slavery. Maybe they vote for healthcare for themselves but not the others. Maybe they vote to tax the others at the maximum possible or implement tax policies that dis-proportionally affect the 49%. Maybe they vote the 49% cannot own homes and therefore must pay rent to a landlord. Maybe they vote that the 49% must register for the draft, but not them. Maybe they vote that the 49% aren't eligible for public school while they are. Maybe they vote that the 49% is not able to own stock or register for a company. Let's pretend those are legal, it is definitely possible. Slavery at one point was constitutionally allowed.

Is that a Democracy? A Liberal Democracy? A Democratic Republic? A Constitutional Democratic Republic if the law were enshrined on paper?

Would you want to live in that country? Would you want to live in that country if you were in the 49%?

What is the key ingredient that makes something a "Democracy" rather than tyranny of the majority, "mob rule," or "might makes right"?

Web didn’t really replace long reads. You didn’t have a searchable question that you’d previously read hundreds of pages for. More and more short form content started coming out, then social media, all of which both replaced books as entertainment while simultaneously reducing attention span. But it’s not just online media - look at modern tv/film and watch old… the cuts were so much slower previously. That’s probably caused by the changes from web/social media, more than the other way around.

However the extent that the web could replace your work is very minimal because you’d be copy/pasting some existing untailored source. Now, we can take your tailored question / task and have it just completed for you. Doing is a huge part of learning, and if you don’t do, you won’t learn.

That’s almost certainly true, but at least part of the problem (not just Kafka but RDD tech in general) is that project home pages, comments like this and “Learn X in 24 hours” books/courses rarely spell out how to clearly determine if you have an appropriate use case at an appropriate scale. “Use this because all the cool kids are using it” affects non-tech managers and investors just as much as developers with no architectural nous, and everyone with a SQL connection and an API can believe they have “big data” if they don’t have a clear definition of what big data actually is.

I believe that crowdfunding is the way to go , Instead of forcing companies to give what we want for free , we need to provide an incentive for them.

This crowdfunding could also be a great PR for valve itself as well. Crowdfunding is the win-win situation I could think of , but oh I am more than happy to eat my own word , if I can get source's source code and really run team fortress 2 fully open source.

There is nothing unbelievable about this. Everyone knew that this was one likely outcome (among a few), and it was discussed widely long before US elections.

It's one thing to understand something on an intellectual level and another to accept it emotionally. For someone in the upper class or the upper middle class, it's too comfortable to assume that things will go on as usual and bad things only happen in the news and not in the real world.

Trump and Putin are ideologically aligned, like many other strongman leaders in the world. But because their shared ideology is a variant of nationalism, it can just as easily make them allies as enemies. Everything depends on the situation, as there are no fundamental reasons to favor one over another.
Pain is weird. The more I learn about it, the less I'm sure of anything to do with it. It's a different subjective experience for everyone. The severity often doesn't correlate to any observable physical insult. It's worse when you're tired or stressed.

I have another idea! It's just an idea or a feeling.

My feeling is that work interaction has decreased lately, with all these assistants. I, for one, don't get any questions and don't have any technical interactions not even with junior developers. I don't get asked "how can I implement this, give me some clues" or "do you know a book or some articles I can read on this or that subject?"

I feel the slack channels have also kinda dried up. There's the occasional meme or dog pictures but very little technical discussion, asking for an opinion, framing one's ideas and thoughts on a subject in writing, exchanging opinions with others, etc.

There is still the occasional code review, sure. At this point, I can spot the code written with AI. It has the same feel, the same verbosity, always the same try/catch for everything, always awaits everything, same doxygen-style of comments, always assigning variables for everything. I gave my opinions in the beginning, some things were adapted. But it's a loosing battle. AI can write code faster than I can review it.

Three years ago, some colleagues would ask on slack to proofread their client-facing documents. Now they don't.

Tldr: human interaction is decreasing due to people not needing help from other people that often, similarly to ordering your food and not knocking on your neighbors door to ask for a slice of bread since you've ran out of and everything is closed (we did that, and the neighbors too, 30 years ago)

Do you live in an older property or do you think there might be a significant amount of lead-containing paint in your living/working environment?

Ask HN: Ubiquiti AP Compeditors / Prosumer Wi-Fi AP with 802.1Q Support
I am looking to setup an apartment building's network with a separate vlan for each apartment. I want to create a separate SSID for each apartment. To do this, I want a single AP that can broadcast several SSIDs, each of which goes to a separate vlan via 802.1Q. The building is not big enough to warrant a full enterprise-level system and associated costs, but I would rather not spam a separate consumer level router/ap combo for every apartment.

I looked into using Unfi AP AC Pro, but I absolutely abhor the configuration of this AP — it demands a mobile app that doesn't work right on (my) degoogled phone, or a separate console software running on some server of mine (and the documentation seems to hide this from me in favor of buying a console appliance, which is gross to my taste).

Are there other prosumer APs that have this feature, but also have a normal (at least compared to what I see in consumer equipment) web panel that I can access without special software other than a web browser? I'd prefer something reasonably affordable — getting it used on eBay for under $100 would be great (this seems reasonable to me since it's easy to find Unfi AP AC Pro for like $30, and what I want is basically a competitor with more standard software).
Then... look it up?

If he wanted to fire anyone who disagreed with him, this EO wouldn’t have been necessary. With very few exceptions, executive branch employees serve at the pleasure of the President.

This is how it is, how it has been, and is entirely consistent with the Constitution.

So, if not that, then why issue this EO?

First of all, it’s a statement: “Resistance to this agenda from within the executive branch will not be effective”

Secondly, it helps ensure that when the President issues a statement, it’s not immediately met with bureaucrats making statements to the contrary.

By reading these comments on hackernews , I came across the bug report of asking source's code https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/issues/624

it was heavily disliked by people. So I think I have come across the solution of crowdfunding.

I have presented various benefits to the crowdfunding & I am writing this again so that this can be a comment of its own so that it can be much more easier for hackernews people to see I suppose for better discussion purposes I suppose.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/issues/624#...
It's not just the width of the column - there are annotations on certain lines (that appear on a right "margin") that don't show up on mobile. I think that makes it not an easy fix, but to your larger point, this is not very mobile friendly. It looks quite good on a desktop though.
Surely no respectable professional would just ship code they don’t understand, right? So the LLM should probably spit out code in reasonably well known languages using reasonably well known libraries and other abstractions…
First time commenter - I was so triggered by this benchmark, so I just had to come out of lurking.

I've spent time going over the description and the cases and its an misrepresented travesty.

The benchmark takes existing cases from Upwork, then reintroduces the problems back in the code and then asks the LLM to fix them testing against newly written 'comprehensive tests'.

Lets look at some of the cases:

1. The regex zip code validation problem

Looking at the Upwork problem - https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/14958 it was mainly that they were using a common regex to validate across all countries, so the solution had to introduce country specific regex etc.

The "reintroduced bug" - https://github.com/openai/SWELancer-Benchmark/blob/main/issu... is just taking that new code and adding , to two countries....

2. Room showing empty - 14857

The "reintroduced bug" - https://github.com/openai/SWELancer-Benchmark/blob/main/issu...

Adds code explicitly commented as introducing a "radical bug" and "intentionally returning an empty array"...

I could go on and on and on...

The "extensive tests" are also laughable :(

I am not sure if OpenAI is actually aware of how great this "benchmark" is, but after so much fanfare - they should be.
I would recommend everyone reading this to think of it as a skill issue. You can learn to use the LLM/agent to document your code base, test isolated components and refactor your spaghetti into modular chunks easily understandable by the agent.

The greenfield projects turn into a mess very quick because if you let it code without any guidance (wrt documentation, interactivity, testability, modularity) it generates crap until you can't modify it. The greenfield project turns into legacy as fast as the agent can spit out new code.

No, they were directly responding to your claim that

> Elon owning 10 megayachts means 10 megayachts (as much as $5 billion) worth of productive capacity being redirected away from other uses that benefit many people, to a use that is frivolous insofar as it largely benefits just one person.

They are saying that there is no relationship to wealth by billionaires and helping "the average American," only that they can get rich by creating value, whether it be for one person or many, and that it is not redirection but creation of wealth that benefits both parties. Their statement does not have anything to do with "the average American" because they were directly refuting that there may (or may not be) "uses that benefit many people," yet you misunderstood to thinking that they were still somehow talking about the "many people" part. This is quite clear in their comment but I still don't think you quite understood the thread of logic of the thread, particularly how their refutation redirected the topic of conversation, to which I replied.

> I'm not persuaded you're in a position to know what zozbot234 implied.

If you do not know the basics of the economics of comparative advantage, particularly in terms of how people talk about "both parties" in a transaction, then I can see why you are not persuaded.

> From my experience talking to other people on related topics.

Sure, but that is not this thread however.

Again, sounds like you have an axe to grind against billionaires which is biasing your argumentation.
