> we owned a 200 year old cottage in Ireland that definitely had leaded paint
[..] I had a newborn at the time, too

Not a great combo.

"In the home, lead pipes, red lead paint on metal work, leaded paint on windowsills, bannisters, door frames and doors can still exist. Lead paint was common before the 1970s and although lead paint has not been used after 1992, prior to this UK paint may have contained up to 50% lead by weight (500,000 mg/kg), which is potentially capable of causing lead poisoning in a small child if they eat just a single flake. Leaded paint at these concentrations may still be found in non-remediated Victorian properties, often below newer non-leaded paint."

Although one shouldn't underestimate potential lead contamination in soils, too. As an undergrad I recall doing a lab in which we had to look for heavy metal contamination in the soil in a nearby public park, starting at the edge of the park right next to a busy road, and then taking samples towards the centre of the park. Unsurprisingly there was measurably higher contamination close to the road, falling away with distance from the road.
You are doing nothing that requires the formula to be precise. A 10bpm standard error, meaning the max is very possibly 20bm off where you think it is, means that you can't reliably distinguish between efforts that someone doing serious training would want to be distinguished.
This is easily my favorite read of this year
Yeah, I been watching it devolve bit by bit pretty near my entire life (at least the "aware" years of it). It's been pretty sad how mentioning it at all has (until recently) been met with derision and ridicule. "You're just being paranoid." Umm... No? I'm paying attention to the reality in front of me? "Paranoid" would be if there were no basis in reality for my concerns.

Yes, it's been my experience that there is a huge gulf between the "Premium" AWS support plans (Enterprise) and all the others. The Enterprise plan is extremely pricey but you get very good support. I've tried debugging site-to-site VPN connections using both Business and Enterprise and there is no comparison. Business requests are processed by an overseas support team and you usually get a reply 24-48 hours. The reply is generally non-helpful and usually just suggests KB articles to look at.

On the other hand, Enterprise requests go straight to actual AWS engineers in the department of the product that you are having trouble with. In the case of VPN tunnels, we received detailed logs of the traffic across the tunnel withing minutes of submitting the request. It was truly impressive and makes me sad that I don't currently have access to that level of support.
My concerns are;

a. Congress and Senate are wholly passive and unable to act.

b. The courts will be attacked, and so be unable to act.

c. If the courts act, by the time they act, it will be too late; the harm will have been done and will be irreversible.

If me move the reactor close enough to the center of the earth, eventually we can get to zero g. We then also solved the confinement problem.

There's something to be said about psychedelics and introversion in general being a two-edged sword. There's also something to be said about how we get into trouble when we consider beliefs or abstract feelings as something outside our control.
> The Monty Hall problem is only a problem to those who are naive about probability, which is most people, because most of us don't learn any of this stuff early enough to form long lasting, correct instincts.

I mean maybe? Depends on what your definition of being naive about probabilities is. The Monty Hall problem has a sordid history of even very learned mathemathicians specialising in probability getting it very wrong. For example Paul Erdős got it wrong[1] (until someone walked him through it)

Now maybe you count Erdős as someone who is naive about probability. In which case I guess you are right. But that puts the bar very high then.

Thanks for bringing up some painful memories. Now I'm working in C and tests take about 100ms end-to-end (multicore, no frameworks). Sometimes I re-run them for no reason just to enjoy how fast everything is.
That sounds hard to meter and charge for.
"Aligning" the executive branch by ordering everyone to obey the legal interpretations of the President and Attorney General, including the people who form the enforcement arm of the Supreme Court, very obviously has something to do with the courts.

> It will fail as an EO

It will fail as an EO if members of the executive branch follow the Constitution rather than the boss who pays them. The EO itself is explicitly ordering boots-on-the-ground federal law enforcement to follow the President instead of the courts.

> I've honestly never heard of any dependency resolver that allows you to dynamically inject an override of a package's built in specification for an indirect dependency.

You can do it with [patch] in cargo (I think), or .exclude in SBT. In Maven you can use <dependencyManagement>. In fact I can't think of a package manager that doesn't support it, it's something I'd always expect to be possible.

> Point blank, that's a packaging failure and the solution is, and always has been, to immediately yank the offending package.

Be that as it may, PyPi won't.

> It should never be on the end user to be specifying overrides of indirect dependency specifications at the top level though

It "shouldn't", but sometimes the user will find themselves in that situation. The only choice is whether you give them the tools to work around it or you don't.
They are getting worn out from old age just like humans do.
Why would I want to use this trick?
Design patterns are independent of the implementation technology.

OO and virtual functions can be implemented in C by looking up function pointers in a table.

Reference counting can be done by manually incrementing and decrementing references.

At the end of the day everything is compiled to assembly and the CPU doesn't care what ideology was in the programmer's head, except however much a given paradigm abstracts too far away from the underlying machine.

I get this when using my Bose QC bluetooth headphones near my keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't happen much, sometimes it happens every half hour. It doesn't happen when I don't use the BT headphones. I wonder if this issue is something to do with interference or radio power or faulty bluetooth stacks.
1) There is a perfectly working AOT compiler for JVM, namely Graal Native. Sub-second startup times are easily achieavble.

For the hackers around here: There is a plug-in by NASA called "XPlaneConnect", that allows you to control aircraft in X-Plane from code See here: https://github.com/nasa/XPlaneConnect

I've used it to write some Python code that mimics upset recovery procedures that we teach human pilots. It's quite fun putting an aircraft in a tricky position and then seeing your code recover it nicely to straight and level flight. (Or seeing your code roll it over and fly it into the ground if you got the math wrong :-))
In Germany the legal executive branch is “Weisungsgebunden” which mean it follows the lead of the politicians instead of acting on own behalf. Because of this international warrants which come from Germany do not get followed since they can’t be trusted.

It would be better to have independent judges but hey it doesn’t lead to a dictatorship and the end of the world directly as propagated everywhere.
Well, you're never going to have a stable world when you're constantly pulling in updates to your dependencies. In any language.

And if you stop updating those, you stop needing rustc updates.
There isn’t an enforcement arm of the Supreme Court. If you ever, at any point, thought the US Marshals mattered one iota in all of this, you completely misunderstood the role of the judiciary in the US government.

Congress has the power of the purse, the executive has the power of the sword, and the judiciary has… the hope that the other two branches will listen. Federalist 78 would be a good read for you now, if you think this has any relevance at all towards the judiciary’s ability to enforce anything.
Nope. Take any true mathematical sentence and (consistently) replace i with -i and it remains true; that is not the case for 1 and -1. Im(x) = 1 is meaningless; it would have to be Im(x) = ±1. (In fact you'll only ever see complex numbers in the form of a±bi, never a+bi alone.)

It's why you can't say e.g. -i < i; the signs on purely imaginary numbers are not an ordering.
This “study” is… total BS. I’d be super suspicious of anything else Roy Dayan ever puts his name on. Clickbait is the most generous interpretation.
I recall Ton Roosendaal saying something similar about the origins of Blender: convincing his then-employers to let him open source the original abandoned engine was a huge hassle, but the lack of third party code blocking it helped a lot.

I didn't know any better. I just looked things up. Including variables all the time. intellisense was a god send.

Then I sorted my sleep apnea and Celiac and my memory started working. It's like life on easy mode. I'm not smarter but having that mental scratch pad of memory is awesome. Even little things like getting an auth code and not having to read out each number one by one.
IoC isn't even DI. IoC is saying "I need to talk to a service that handles these account operations I care about" rather than "I need a MySql connection, a coupla s3 buckets and a folder on disk"

DI can support both the "I need" and "I orchistrate" patterns.

Obviously modulo leaky abstractions! You might want to known if that account code is in L1 cache or Timbuktu.
> Honest question: is uv more reproducible/portable than cramming your Python project into a Docker container?

Yes (unless you use uv in your Dockerfile). I mean, a Docker container will freeze one set of dependencies, but as soon as you change one dependency you've got to run your Dockerfile again and will end up with completely different versions of all your transitive dependencies.
I have one of these and I'm just about ready to give it away. The problem is it doesn't fit a use case that I don't have better solutions for. I've found that writing on the screen makes me prefer paper; reading on the screen makes me prefer books. I wanted to like the DC-1 but every time I use it something feels off. Maybe that's partly because I don't enjoy the Android experience.

> There doesn't seem to be anything inherently healthy or special about European food.

It depends how you look at it.[0]

> In the US, the FDA takes a notably more hands-off approach to testing and inspections, often allowing new food ingredients unless proven harmful. This includes ingredients, for example, GMOs, growth hormones and chemical preservatives. In Europe, the EFSA requires additives to be proven safe before approval and has banned the use of growth hormones and several chemical additives.

> These differing philosophies lead to certain additives being allowed in the US and banned in Europe. For instance, these eight ingredients are commonly used in the US but not in Europe: rBGH (rBST) – Growth hormone, Ractopamine – Increases lean muscle in animal stock, Potassium bromate – Makes baked goods whiter and increases volume, Brominate vegetable oil – Used to keep flavors from separating in beverages, Olestra – Fat substitute, Azodicarbonamide – Used to bleach flour
Coloring agents – Red #40, yellow #6, yellow #5, blue #1, BHA and BHT – Preservatives

I'm no expert on US politics, but I'm pretty sure yesterday's executive order is unprecedented in this regard:

> Therefore, in order to improve the administration of the executive branch and to increase regulatory officials’ accountability to the American people, it shall be the policy of the executive branch to ensure Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch.
>
> Moreover, all executive departments and agencies, including so-called independent agencies, shall submit for review all proposed and final significant regulatory actions to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register.

Heres the definition of heritability:

(HAYR-ih-tuh-BIH-lih-tee) The proportion of variation in a population trait that can be attributed to inherited genetic factors.

The study title is saying that heritability INCREASES with age: as you age your IQ is more closely correlated to the IQ of your parents from whom you inherited your genes from.

>As you point out a couple of comments later, genes don't change with age.

Your genes dont change but the correlation between you and your parents IQ does.

An Unwilling Participant in Your Smart Fantasy
Inflation is an extreme handout to the wealthy.

Money is by definition zero sum, otherwise the word "inflation" would have no meaning. There are good questions around what an over leveraged loan is, but fundamentally, the supply of money is to some degree fixed at any given moment.

The wealthy and powerful keep their money in tax benefited, inflation tracking assets. Many of those assets are stocks, and a major business cost is labor. Wages are generally not inflation tracking. That amplifies the benefit of inflation to the wealthy. So the buying power lost by suppressed wages and devalued savings, as well as the devaluing of all money currently in flight such as paychecks, is exactly gained by those with wealth/ownership. Inflation also makes loan's cheaper to pay off, further benefiting those with enough assets to get a loan.

When the market stagnates or companies freeze hiring or do mass layoffs, it puts employees in an even worse negotiating position resulting in even more suppressed wages past the first order effect of inflation.

So what's even better for the rich than tax breaks is inflation.

The fed is the beating heart of the economy, it pumps money through its sluices.

The fed is in many ways the Balrog deep in Moria.

Oligarchs do answer to other oligarchs, even if they don't answer to law, and there's a good chance that many of them see the impending potential disaster of either stagflation -- people won't have enough money to buy goods and the economy stalls and maybe doesn't restart, or hyperinflation -- the definitive end of American hegemony as countries move to a different reserve currency and America is no longer able to fund its military. The economy is also directly tied, if not most directly tied, to the legitimacy of the ruling regime, so a policy of choosing loyalists over qualifications or letting it be corrupted by someone selling out tomorrow for today is likely to lead to actual civil unrest instead of performative civil unrest.

My guess is that the finance business oligarchs see it as a red line because the moment the fed is corrupted, it's no longer their fed, but Trump's fed, and that will be equivalent to the moment Putin gathered all of Russia's oligarchs, with one of them in a diminutive cage in a court room, and then said "half" and held out his ring with the implication of the power relationship being clear (part of the greater story of the Magnitsky act).

It's also worth noting that normally you would get capital flight once the wealthy get scared, but the US has told every foreign country that American citizens in that country are under American jurisdiction and therefore all wealth must be reported to the US government, so while in the past an oligarch might have been happy to cause civil unrest with their unchecked greed, America's deep financial reach means that many will pay a hefty price, if they are even allowed exfiltrate the majority of their fortunes at all, binding them to the outcome of fed decisions as well.

But I'm very far from an expert, so probably wrong about some of that.
1337 seconds is a pretty meaningful result.

If you're a programmer, that is. Could mean something else in physics, right?

Show HN: AI-native browser game that users can craft unlimited 3D items
Most games have limits. You can only use preset features, need coding for customization & adding mods, require expensive extra devices. We wanted to remove those barriers.

That’s why we are building space zero—a browser based 3D world powered by AI. We plan to build players can freely mix items to generate unexpected creations with unique properties and sounds. Also the world itself is dynamically generated, evolving endlessly.

I've honestly never heard of any dependency resolver that allows you to dynamically inject an override of a package's built in specification for an indirect dependency.

npm and yarn both let you do it. PDM and uv think about it differently, but both allow overrides.

It should never be on the end user to be specifying overrides of indirect dependency specifications at the top level though, which is what was requested from the poetry tool.

I'm jealous of your upstreams. I just want to use Django package XYZ that says it's only compatible with Django 3.X on Django 4. Works just fine, but poetry won't let it happen. Upstream seems like they might literally be dead in some cases, with an unmerged unanswered PR open for years. In other cases a PR was merged but no new PyPI release was ever made because I allowed for more liberal requirements for a 0.7.X release last made in 2019 and they're on version 4.X or whatever these days.

On one decade old application I have a half dozen forks of old packages with only alterations to dependency specifications specifically to please poetry. It's really annoying as opposed to just being able to say "I know better than what this package says" like in npm and yarn.

This is exactly what half the comments in poetry's "please allow overrides" issue are saying.
“Attacked” what does this even mean? The courts have zero power in the first place, and never have. The judiciary, all the way back to Marbury v. Madison, has had to rely on the assent from the other branches that its rulings matter.
