There's no clear way to define "correct" in this case regardless. The whole premise behind a range request is that the data is immutable (because otherwise it wouldn't make sense to be able to fetch it piecewise), and it's mutating here by disappearing! What are you supposed to do, really? The answer is always going to be app-dependent, the browser can't get it right because the server is being obtuse and confusing.

When we handle this in the hardware world it's via algorithms that know about the mutability of the cached data and operate on top of primitives like "flush" and "invalidate" that can restore the inconsistent memory system to a known state. HTTP didn't spec that stuff, but the closest analog is "fetch it again", which is exactly what the suggested workaround is in the bug.
> Here in Germany, I know of at least three different NGOs that have been pointing to this problem for more than a decade now and have developed detailed policy recommendations, both on a national and E.U. level.

What are the NGOs? I'd be interested to read what they recommend. I also appreciate your efforts to explain how this might work but there are still some big gaps (you may well have answers too but I think your can't fairly deal with a topic this complicated in an HN comment)

I know this post is about old-school wooden pencils, but, as a dedicated pencil pusher, I've got to tip my hat to my favorite pencil for the past, at least, 12 years: the Pentel Twist-Erase III mechanical pencils, in 0.5 and 0.7 (they also have a 0.9, but I don't use those).

The key to these outstanding pencils is the perfectly fat eraser that is over an inch long. Its formulation is excellent (neither too hard nor too soft) so it erases superbly and lasts quite a time, and it has refills in packs of three that can sometimes be found in Office DepotMax.

I must also suggest a lead softness/hardness of 2B, instead of the normal "Number 2 pencil lead" that is standard for test taking here in America. It glides onto the paper more smoothly and yet erases easily and mostly completely.

There are many ways to define it. Taking, for example the "definition" from Wikipedia here[0], you could say that LLMs are understanding, in a distilled form, because relationships is precisely what they're made of.

Current "guy" used to be previous as well.
By the sounds of it, if there was a painless way of doing it, he would probably be fine with this.

If he consented when he was alive, I don't see how it could be moral to ignore his wishes and let more people die as a result.

I guess laws will get in the way of this kind of thing though.
A car rolling down a hill is 'functioning' too, despite the fact that its brakes are out and it's on fire.

PPPS must admit, army/navy (including veterans care) and weapons industry are special cases, which need concentrated money to effectively function, and unfortunately they typically cannot be optimized, because already working underfunded.

Why need finance own army - to not finance enemy army.
In ideal case, own army must be only tiny bit more powerful than enemy army, and this will be enough to save from war.
There is significantly less protection than there is even for tax returns, which themselves clearly receive inadequate protection.

In particular, blanket permission is given for warrentless access for "law enforcement activity" and undisclosed, target unauthorized access for "compliance with customer due diligence". And overall the restrictions are no stronger than "shall not"-- it's not a felony to violate the rules.

In practice it's likely to end up like many states license plate databases where it's easy for sleazy PIs to just bribe access through corrupt LEO or agency desk staff.

Ukraine has them too. They both buy the fiber tech from China.

Over the years I've seen people get a lot of hate for things they've poured their souls into who turn around and post snarky/insulting responses that ended up getting them into even more hot water. I always wondered why they didn't respond with their clearly well thought out reasoning behind what they built instead of the snark, even if the original comment wasn't in good faith either. I understand them a little better now.

It's def valid to ask about the value of projects like this, but I think "Please delete this project, as you are actively making the world worse." isn't the right way to start that discussion if that was your intent. I also detailed my thoughts about the whole industry a little further down so I'll avoid duplicating that.
My previously mostly sane center right family members have all been spouting Russian talking points after the blow up in the Oval Office.

Camber (YC W21) | Senior Software Engineer (Product, Backend, or Data), Engineering Manager, Macro Data Refinement | Full-time | HYBRID NYC | camber.health

Camber is working to improve the messy financial infrastructure for US Healthcare. We've built an automated end-to-end insurance billing system for recurring care, starting with Autism clinics. It’s a product that clinicians need and love.

We automate and abstract the tedious, manual, repetitive work that goes into the administrative duties of running a clinic, so that clinicians can do what they do best — providing care.

It starts with ingesting clinic data, and then create, validates, and submits claims to insurance providers across the country. If claims need corrections or appeals, most of the time we can handle those automatically or our CX and Operations team use our in-house internal tools. We also handle patient invoicing for co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles (we never send anything to collections). We track money movement on a unified ledger and reconcile transactions with clinics' bank accounts.

There is so much more to build. If you're interested in scaling data pipelines, programmable rules engines, AI, data science, delightful products for small clinics, processing billions of dollars in money movement or solving the unsexy problems that make this country's healthcare broken, come join us!

We are a team of ~40 with strong product market fit. You’ll be working with an engineering leadership team from AWS and Stripe to get clinicians back to work delivering care for kids.

DARPA needs to partner with our Korean allies who already know how to push up their APMs in these scenarios.
The problem is, with automated trades set up by many institutional firms, any dip in the market will trigger automatic buys keeping the market artificially up even when the underlying securities might be inflated. It'll take more downward momentum on S&P stocks to really push the market down.
Cost in terms of what? Electric drone delivery is likely more cost-effective (external-accounted) than any of the alternative solutions.

SQLite has a session extension that can record changes on a local database into a changeset and you can replay those changes on another SQLite instance. Note that it replays what the changes were, not the queries that resulted in the changes. When applying changes you provide a conflict handler. (You can also invert changesets making a handy undo/redo feature.)

You can save conflicts to another changeset. There is also a rebaser to help deal with multiple way syncing.

Indeed, but replication crisis isn't that argument, given that's a field-as-whole issue rather than the cost effectiveness of a specific study.
I’d love to buy one of these.
• Stable employment

• Democratic workplace

• You can have input in whether to optimize for longevity or short-term profit.

• If you do choose to have a profit-sharing, you experience arguably proportional reward for the work you invest.

• Unions are less necessary if you don't need to actively organize to engage in democratic decision structures.

These are examples of qualities that I've found that appear to be desired by the majority of both my tech social-circles and certainly my non-tech-social circles. Certainly there's immense bias in my viewpoint, but I'm not the person equipped to draw together evidence that people want something they aren't even presented with, but it's something I do believe is generally true.

For more historical evidence, to put aside the co-op structure (which is, in my opinion, secondary to the qualities that people want from their business), flat companies have had their moments of popularity with both Valve and Zappos. (obviously neither are co-ops, and I doubt either have labor-proportional profit-sharing now if they ever did, but it's limited evidence people are turned off by the dysfunction of hierarchical businesses.)

More evidence: in the fight between workers and shareholders, shareholders had to use the courts to enforce shareholder primacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co. This indicates the natural tendency of society is to mediate between the needs of the shareholders and workers, something most naturally achieved by making the workers the shareholders.

I realize little of this is likely to be as convincing as the evidence of so many for-profit companies largely not owned by workers, but there's a lot of literature discussing the perverse incentives of divorcing ownership (and investment) from labor that is far too large for a HN comment.

There are, of course, very large co-ops others point out (health insurance, REI (I think?), credit unions), but I can't say I have the insight into the historical reasons why they appear in some industries and not others, in some regions (states) and not others, etc etc.

FWIW, I have worked in for-profit environments where I don't own stock and I've observed genuine concern for all the qualities above. This isn't a hard and fast rule. But most of my workplaces don't show this behavior, and it's quite soured me on gambling with my time (the typical capitalist-to-worker-pitch) rather than finding a lower-return but stabler form of employment that prioritizes quality of work and life. You can get a lot of this by working at large tech companies, but they often undersell how much this affects quality of life despite enormous compensation, and also undersell the sort of dysfunction that would normally be remediable if you let the workers have true representation on the board and among stockholders.

I have the same $30 no-name toaster that my now-ex purchased shortly after we were married in 2010. I open it up every few years to deep clean the crumbs, and I've changed the cord twice. Thing is an absolute tank.

I try to be a BIFL type of person and am willing to pay a premium for items that will last. Occasionally I hit up against something like this toaster, though, which runs completely counter to my expectations of what makes an indestructible kitchen appliance.

SEEKING FREELANCER

Location: SF Bay Area

I'm looking for one or more freelancers to help with two different projects. One requires text transformation animations between two different words for a word game, and the other involves extending a text editor and display for a 'programming language of poetry'.

For the latter, on the left-hand side is the editor (and the 'meta-poem', as I'm calling it), and on the right-hand side is the interpreted poem. Challenges include highlighting different parts of the text different colors according to their bracket depth, keeping mappings between editor line numbers and final poem line numbers, and switching representation from a json array of meta-poems to a json array of 'operations' or 'diffs' using operational transforms or similar technologies.

Additionally, if you have expertise building parsers in haskell and running haskell in js, this would be particularly helpful for the second project.

Please email kian[dot]locke[at]thekeyunlocks[dot]us if any of the above challenges sound like a good fit.
Awesome to see Firebender launch here! My team discovered it a month ago after ages of trying (and failing) to find a good "Cursor but for Android Studio" and we've been using it daily ever since.

Also, the developers are super active in their Discord and are fast to fix bugs. Love this project.
