The federal executive also doesn't set budgets, or choose which congressionally mandated departments will be open today, yet it's 2025 and it is doing exactly that. And back in 2020, it was conspiring to send fake electors to cast votes for itself, and to fix vote counts in Georgia. (Which you seem to think is also not a responsibility of the federal government, but the courts have called it an official, unprosecutable act, so here we are.)

Why do you think that a government that is not bound by the need to follow the law, and has already demonstrated malicious intent will... Actually follow the law?
Chicory seems like it'll be pretty useful. Java doesn't have easy access to the platform-specific security mechanisms (seccomp, etc) that are used by native tools to sandbox their plugins, so it's nice to have WebAssembly's well-designed security model in a pure-JVM library.

I've used it to experiment with using WebAssembly to extend the Bazel build system (which is written in Java). Currently there are several Bazel rulesets that need platform-specific helper binaries for things like parsing lock files or Cargo configs, and that's exactly the kind of logic that could happily move into a WebAssembly blob.

> Does anyone still build plastic models, fly RC airplanes, get together for card games, or bowl?

Board games are more popular than ever before. I would guess a lot of RC airplane use has been replaced with drones.

Model building, that I'm not so sure about. Or engineering toys in general. Lego is bigger than it ever was before, but that's not quite the same thing. Not sure if it's sucking all of the air out of the market. Miniature dollhouse kits are getting more popular, thanks to Chinese manufacturers like Rolife and Cutebee. But beyond that, it's something I wonder about a lot, and I don't know how to answer that.
The US AI industry does have easier access to them but again Deepseek proves countries outside the US can get enough access to them to produce similarly powerful models. Unless the US really clamps down on exports of cards, which will be hard given they're made overseas and only designed in the US, it's not like they're a unique resource only US companies can access.
Sounds like you haven't ever tried to implement it. But if the "case" you're thinking of is the "case" narnarpapadaddy was referring to, that takes us to their clause, "Any fewer [cases], the additional abstraction is unneeded complexity." This is obviously absurd when we're talking about the sin() function. Therefore, that can't possibly have been their intended meaning.

Hi, we farm, and we use radar, not satellite based imagery.
it has been years since I read the book, but I'm surprised that there's so much hatred for it here. From memory it seemed like fairly harmless things like give things good names, try to make the code readable, dont comment what the code does but why, use consistent formatting, avoid duplication.

Other than people going overboard with empty classes and inheritance Ive not really seen a problem of people breaking down functions too far.

People have different views about what is ethical. The HN community itself is divided on the ethics of things like weapons manufacturing (a.k.a. "defense companies") or crytpocurrency (mentioned elsewhere in this thread). Having different views about ethics is not the same thing as having no ethics.
> Following that it follows normal insertion sort pattern with one change. Insertion sort normally sorts the new element "downward". This sort sorts the new element "upward" from the smallest item. It still uses the same inline temporary slot that insertion sort uses, it's just more notable now because it's inserting the new item "bottom-up".

Well, the reason that's more notable is that doing it upward requires you to use swaps instead of an assignment chain. Going downward, you can remember the value you're going to insert all the way down the chain. Going upward, you're always overwriting a value that you must immediately remember, which is worse.

A surprising insight we found: many early-stage startups don’t account for experimentation time in their financial models. They assume a straight growth trajectory, but in reality, optimizing acquisition and conversion takes multiple iterations. With ueCalc, we tried to reflect this by making modeling more adaptive. How do you handle this in your financial planning?
I used to work this way, but I found that every non-trivial method involves edge-cases and workarounds documenting them the method name destroyed readability.
Again, Apple ceases to be much of a company at all if they go your route of being isolationist. It isn't even about the stock price: their revenue tanks, their ability to produce tanks, everything about the company is basically just decimated. You might as well say "I don't care if Apple exists or not". So blow Apple away and how does that help the future of American industry?

I don't think this is a rational feeling, but I can relate.

I've successfully trained my dog to be non-reactive towards squirrels/birds/etc. on walks. The other day she walked by a rabbit from within a few feet, and hardly gave it even a look. And I felt bad, as though I've suppressed her natural self and ability to be excited about such a thing. She's now pacified to live in my world.

An irrational feeling, because she's now at much less risk of being run over by a vehicle, but it was a feeling nonetheless.

Also typically stored with binary compression (snappy, lib) after the snappy compression. In-memory might only be semantic, eg, arrow.

But it's... Fine? Batch writes and rewrite dirty parts. Most of our cases are either appending events, or enriching with new columns, which can be modeled columnarly. It is a bit more painful in GPU land bc we like big chunks (250MB-1GB) for saturating reads, but CPU land is generally fine for us.

We have been eyeing iceberg and friends as a way to automate that, so I've been curious how much of the optimization, if any, they take for us

That reminds me of a story. The author Elizabeth Moon and her husband kept horses, and one year they decided to get oats for the winter instead of hay. They didn't realise that oats need to be stored differently, not just in a pile on the barn floor.

They took one of their horses to the vet because he developed a persistent cough; the vet asked a few questions. When he heard how they were storing the oats, his eyes widened, and he leaned forward. "You need to get rid the oats. Now." Then he explained why...

So as soon as they got back they started shoveling the contaminated pile of oats into bags to depose of it. And as they did so, first a few, then a stream of mice started running out of the pile of oats. Their hair was standing on end from disgust, but they had to keep shoveling. At the sound, the cats came from all the nearby farms, so that they were at the centre of a ring of cats; but by the end all the cats had eaten so many mice that they were stuffed; and could only lie there, and watch the mice go by.
All travel in and out of Antarctica is cancelled during the ~7 months of winter. So all of that is being done without external inputs during that time frame. A permanent (or at least practically permanent) closed loop is probably not possible because of the countless treaties. It severely limits what can be built, which local resources can be utilized, and even what you can do with your own waste.
DFW's shorter stories are also incredibly accessible, compared to Infinite Jest.
A mind needs a goal to determine it’s doings. This becomes very important in field of artificial intelligence as it is very different compared to us with infinite different possible outcomes. The goal can be given to AI forcefully (programming rules) or voluntarily (picking up an ai that naturally chooses the goal). AI systems are getting more advanced all over the world and they all commonly lack a secure final goal. I wrote a final goal for machines (I call it the Q) and published it here (www.the-q.info). I’m looking to publish it for everyone and get interviewed about it to establish worldwide AI based libertarianism with customized emotional assistants for everyone.

If I read 98% of your comment I might draw a pretty accurate conclusion based on the absence of something in it. But if I read just 2% any conclusion I draw is whatever I want to read in the tea leaves.

Do you think we investigated closer to 98% or to 2% for possible evidence?
Splitting the developer and the packager doesn't inherently reduce the chance of a malicious update any more than using a VPN reduces the chance of being snooped on by an ISP. All it accomplishes is change who you have to trust to not be malicious. You might have good reason to believe that you can trust one party better than you can trust another, but unless you're building the package yourself there's still no guarantee that the package that you install is built from the source code you can inspect.

It's all based in trust in the packager and only the packager—there are no checks and balances. The only reason why splitting up the responsibilities might help is if you find the F-Droid maintainers to be inherently more trustworthy than the Signal developers, not due to simply separating the concerns.
External validation and being useful to others matter. A world of everyone playing violin in a closet for nobody is a dystopia.

Then your ISP isn’t following the RFCs. You might as well ask what you would do if you ISP gives your router a 17.0.0.0/8 address via DHCP.

These are completely invented problems in your head. SLAAC can absolutely advertise a single /64 internally. It can advertise any /64 you tell it to.

DHCPv6 can absolutely respond with DNS servers (and nothing else) in parallel. Configuring your SLAAC daemon to tell clients to get DNS servers via DHCPv6 is a 15 minute exercise with google.

The problem isn't just knowing the fan fiction terms, it's being able to alias the hundred different variations of those fan fiction terms correctly.

AI sucks at this. It will alias incorrectly, it will alias when it shouldn't, it will create a new tag when it should be aliased, etc.

There are several cases where the human reviewer needs the context of the story (or image, in case of boorus) to make the correct call on whether to create a new tag, alias a tag, recognize a misspelling of an existing tag, etc. AI is not a good fit (yet, at least).

AI agents have lead to a big surge in scraping/crawling activity on the web, and many don't use proper user agents and don't stick to any scraping best practices that the industry has developed over the past two decades (robots.txt, rate limits).

If you sweat you're a perspirator, not a perspirantor -- a sweater, not a sweanter -- but you still use an antiperspirant against sweating. See how "sweating" also has an 'n' in it, but "sweater" doesn't? The -ant is just the French version of -ing.
Domestication is an evolutionary strategy that has ensured that many species will exist for as long as humans will.

Assuming humans don't wipe themselves out, dogs and cats and many other species will outlive the Earth itself.

If humans are the most successful species on the planet, dogs are second.

Dogs as an entire species would not exist at all without humans. If dogs hadn't co-evolved with humans, we'd only have wolves. It's more than just simple domestication like cats and goats, dogs evolved into a new species alongside early humans. They aren't simply wild animals that tolerate humans, this is an entire species specifically evolved to be the ideal companion to humans. The entire point and purpose of this species is only to be companions to humans, that's what they evolved to be. By and large dogs need human companionship and suffer without it.

While the relationship between humans and dogs is very symbiotic, I think dogs get the better end of the deal. All their needs and wants as a species are taken care of by humans, the species will exist forever, and all the dogs have to do is learn the best way to beg for belly rubs.

We have dogs because dogs want us to have them.
Amazing feature. Helped me reduce so much time.
Absolutely, 100% backwards. The tool cannot save space from disk space that is not scanned. Your "not a big win" comment assumes that there is no space left to be reclaimed on the rest of the disk. Or that the disk is not empty, or that the rest of the disk can't be reclaimed at an even higher rate.
The problem with collapsing is that you need to know a priori which sub-scopes are independent and hence collapsible and which aren’t. Meaning, you have to analyze the unfamiliar code first in order to know which sub-scopes you might want to collapse. And, given an already-collapsed sub-scope, due to it being collapsed you can’t see if it reads or mutates some local variable. The benefit of extracted functions is that you know that they are independent of the implementation details of the caller (i.e. can’t possibly depend on or modify local variables of the caller other the ones passed as arguments).

Too many arguments can become a problem. Nested functions can help here, because they allow you to move their implementation “out of the way” while still having access to shared variables. And sometimes a collection of parameters can sensibly become its own class.

IDE affordances are fine, but I’m opposed to requiring reliance on them for reading and understanding code, as opposed to writing.

Most Christian variants have worked to eradicate all the other Christian variants.

Communists have just acted vs. Christians in the same way as Christians vs. different kinds of Christians, and for the same reasons, i.e. in order to suppress anyone who swears allegiance to different authorities.

When discussing communists you cannot "take them at their word", because Communists have always used a special language where a very large number of words have very different meanings than their traditional meanings, for propagandistic purposes. Moreover, even when some phrases should mean the same thing as in normal language, it is more likely than not that they are just lies.

Reading any ancient publication from the former communists states requires experience with communist propaganda to understand which sentences are true and which are false.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! The evolution of my thinking had several key "aha" moments:

The first came while struggling with working with Firestore. I knew what I wanted to build but trying to juggle the constraints of Firestore Rules, Firestore queries, TypeScript itself, the problem itself that I was trying tackle, etc, etc, etc. was a cognitive nightmare. There had to be a way to grapple with all of the constraints in a more systematic way.

The second breakthrough came from reading George Saunders' "A Swim in a Pond in the Rain." He describes writing not as executing a perfect plan, but as making a move and then reacting to it - each sentence creating constraints that shape what comes next. I realized this was exactly how I approached coding problems!

The third moment was connecting these dots across domains. Whether debugging code or writing prose, we're all doing the same thing: making decisions that create constraints, then pushing against those constraints to discover new possibilities. The todo app example in the Foundations section illustrates this - when we say "a todo item must belong to exactly one user," we're not just stating a rule, we're revealing a web of relationships that shapes everything from database structure to UI flows.

What's been most surprising is how this lens transforms seemingly technical problems into creative ones, and vice versa. A database query and a poem suddenly look remarkably similar - both are explorations of constraint spaces, both emerge through iteration and refinement.

I'd love to hear if any particular section resonates with your own work or thinking!
That's just restating the thesis. It's still begging the question.
