I don't think that translates to humans. Sleep disturbances like the micro-arousals triggered by sleep apnea absolutely ruin lives, way before lack od oxygen becomes a problem. Arousals destroy sleep architecture. Humans cannot thrive on microsleep.
But with a population of 2.7 million. That is the more relevant factor here, and by this metric they're on the side of tiny.

And that makes their ability to develop a functioning satellite that integrates into a launch vehicle all the more impressive! Kudos to Botswana's engineers.
Yes, that's very true. Go tends to be very much leaning on an un-magic approach, so more raw SQL than ORM for example. So as you say I think the two different approaches fit the language ecosystems they are in.
As it says:

I-JSON (short for "Internet JSON") is a restricted profile of JSON designed to maximize interoperability and increase confidence that software can process it successfully with predictable results.

So it's not JSON, but a restricted version of it.

I wonder if use of these restrictions is popular. I had never heard of I-JSON.

I have no idea if DF is being "suppressed" or not, but I do know that I see DF articles appearing on HN frequently, so it doesn't feel like it. I have almost no interest in things Apple so rarely read them, but I see them a lot.
Well also in the real world, if you look at history, people DID exploit the neighbouring tribe with impunity if they could not defend themselves ("what idiots don't have a guard during night"), or built stone fortresses with 3 metre stone walls.

When living under those conditions, people probably did put the responsibility to be safe on the victim..

We have been able to remove this waste due to the introduction of the national state, laws, "monopoly on violence", police...

It is THOSE things that allows the factory in your analogy to not spend resources on a 3 metre stone wall and armed guards 24/7.

Now on the internet the police, at least relatively to the physical world, almost completely lack the ability to either investigate or enforce anything. They may use what tools they can, but it does not give them much in the digital world compared to the physical.

If we want internet to be like the real world in this respect, we would have to develop ways to let the police see a lot more and enforce a lot more. Like they can in the physical world.
While windows containers exist, the documentation surrounding them at the API level is sparse. Anything from Azure just tells you to use docker.

As far as I can tell GDI+ is still software rendered? DirectX Com objects aren't difficult to work with at all, ive never understood why people hate them so much. The point of using direct2d would be to provide hardware rendering for winforms.

Wpf is OK compared to winui 3 but it still suffers from xaml.

Just a hobbyist here but I’ve been using loop back on my RME interface for years. It was annoying…so this is a welcome addition and should speed up my AI music tools quite a bit.
Training Plug-N-Play Knowledge Modules with Deep Context Distillation
I often read these stories about hard to debug problems because I enjoy debugging (call it a love for software true crime) and this is the first one I’ve read I had an “oh god no” reaction when the author described where they needed to look for the culprit. The description of the layout engine and all of the browser specific tweaks makes it sound like an absolutely tedious nightmare to debug.
This is a very typical reply when we see someone excited about AI and then a luddite needs to come along and tell them why they should not be so excited and helpful.

I mostly jest but your comment comes off quite unhelpful and negative. The person you replied to wasn’t blaming the parent comment, just offering helpful tips. I agree that today’s AI tools aren’t perfect, but I also think it’s important for developers to invest time refining their toolset. It’s no different from customizing IDE shortcuts. These tools will improve, but if devs aren’t willing to tinker with what they use, what’s the point?
I don't think the brain relies on a spin cycle like a washing machine, but maybe it's not so far fetched. Walking and being generally active helps the body "pump" lymph.

The whole point of reproducible builds is to ensure security even if buildbots are compromised.
This happened to me with Minecraft. It was amazing what a pain in the ass they made it to give them some money and then the gaslighting and hassle I had to endure to get what I paid for.

I only play that game single player.
Nobody cares about reproducibility of local development builds so just limit your use of date/time to those and use a more appropriate build reference for release builds.

Since you need to understand your programs at the deepest level I assume you write in assembly and don’t use third party libraries.
it's not actually that clear. hardware can do some pretty neat tricks to make the fences basically free when there aren't multiple cores writing to the same memory. as a result, most of those explicit fences are just extra front end pressure.
If you watch the release video embedded in the post you can hear both part of the acceptance speech from the makers of Flow where they explicitly thank Blender, and also can also see a special oscar scene, which I assume the creators of Flow made specifically for this version announcement.

In general, there seems to be a close relationship with the creators and Blender, and the overall impression given is that the creators also think that Blender should receive part of the credit.

LLMs: A Ghost in the Machine
I considered this but then went the other way - a \ before anything other than a \, newline or comma is treated as an error. This leaves room for adding features, e.g. \N to signify a SQL NULL.

Regarding quoting and escaping, there are two options that make sense to me - either use quoting, in which case quotes are self-escaped and that's that; or use escaping, in which case quotes aren't necessary at all.
A DOOM -based CAPTCHA for the web
Can we maybe not shit on this parade? The number of non-disgusting governments world in space-capable nations currently sits at zero. It doesn't detract from this achievement, and people are right to celebrate it.
Maybe it's more like analyzing and publishing the security vulnerabilities of said factory or laboratory. It's not trivially right or wrong to do so. It seems acceptable, because you are helping them make it more secure (right?) yet most societies are quite adamant that it's not, in fact, normal - and legal - to do so. You'll get yourself in quite a bit of trouble if you do that.

Just moving to Nigeria and publishing security bulletins on how to break into Walmarts is still a shaky proposition, but perhaps it's safer than I think it is. The international judiciary is opaque to me.

> The computing world often resembles the lawlessness of earlier eras - where only locally-run fortifications separated civilian farmers from barbarian horsemen. A breach in this wall leads to catastrophe. It needs to be unbreakable. People who maintain fortifications shoulder a heavy responsibility.

Sounds about right. I'm not too happy about it, although I guess this particular era has its advantages as well.
Wonderful explanation, thank you!
Oh no!

Moving on, what's for breakfast?
Agree, but I don't think the incentives align as claimed -- with bad (lax) producers being usually commercial, and good (strict) consumers being usually open source. I think anyone who has already made a thing in program X and then finds that program Y won't load that thing will tend to complain about program Y first -- both unconsciously, and also consciously (because if the bug is in X, they might need to recreate their thing, and nobody wants that). So even open source producer programs will tend to be favoured over open source consumers.

The ability to complain at open source consumers is real, but I think this form of pain probably reached its apex in commercial software: backwards compatibility in Windows. Raymond Chen's blog The Old New Thing details the absolutely insane lengths Windows engineers went to to keep buggy software running on new versions of Windows.

People do, but they aren't in AAA studios. They're doing indie games, because their large corporations were captured by the professional glom-onto-success management class.
Wow, I love TUIs but never delved into researching Textualize forks/alternatives.

Thanks a lot for sharing these, especially Trogon, which I think is a clever idea with high ROI.
Yes, both the parent and I agree that Oak Park is a suburb (and a lovely one by the way; I hit up Amerikas every time I visit)—I was pointing out that he was making an argument of the same style that he was criticizing (using his own definition of a suburb to advocate for his own definition of a suburb).

In any case, I think there are multiple valid definitions for suburb—one which talks about smaller towns on the periphery of large cities and another which emphasizes postwar design principles/philosophies. I don’t see the point in arguing for a single true definition; language doesn’t work that way.
I couldn't agree more with this. I'm a mature student who left school with nothing, joined and left the military with nothing, and managed to get a relatively decent paying public sector job. I decided to put myself through a bachelor's degree part time and self funded. I now have one, it's a nice piece of paper, but the skills I gained from it I likely could have got a lot cheaper on udemy. In fact udemy is very likely to be more up to date.

I obviously think the computer science degree is full of useful skills unlike a lot of degrees, but it's nothing I couldn't have got elsewhere.

With a kid in university I am torn because I know that having a degree actually means nothing in the job market, not like it used to.
IIRC kids started getting better in Dutch orphanages/hospitals when shipping was disrupted by the war and they switched to eating non-wheat alternatives.

From that it took a good while before they actually figured it out, but that was the catalyst.
> Is that really hype?

I'm thinking back to various promises self-driving would be widespread by 2016. These set a certain expectation for how our roads would look that I don't think has been realized a decade later (even as I've ridden in Waymos/FSD Teslas.)
Look, as I wrote: Go has zero values, and for a Go type to fully participate in the Go type system, it must have a zero value.

Additionally, for it to fit the 2025 implementation of the runtime, its representation in memory must have a fixed size, with fixed locations for any pointers, and the memory representation of the zero value must be zero.

The runtime can change, but for the runtime to change to accommodate new concepts, the change can't obliterate the expectations of 15 years of existing code.

Given those restrictions, you can either not have sum types (which is the current state of affairs, and will be for the foreseeable future), or you can pick a zero value for your sum types.

If you find having a zero value for sum types ridiculous, you're simply rejecting sum types in Go, which is fine. There is, after all, a reason the proposal wasn't accepted.

Otherwise, we're all happy to accept suggestions that meet the criteria of not breaking compatibility or wreaking havoc with existing code.

With OpenAI models, my understanding is that token output is restricted so that each next token must conform to the specified grammar (ie json schema) so you’re guaranteed to get either a function call or an error.

I'm looking forward to talking them.

This is meant for medium/big sized companies with specific needs so we can better shape the tool. Ping me if you have any doubts. Cheers!
That's exactly the part I was talking about. I'll repeat myself here so you don't need to go up to the parent comment:

> The authors have also somehow still decided that increased hypothalamic blood flow is necessarily connected to hunger when their own finding says otherwise.

And now I will repeat the finding that says otherwise:

> Sucralose versus water ... produces no difference in hunger ratings.

I hope this helps. I also hope it makes you feel bad about missing the barn with your snipe.

> Anyway, there’s a pile of evidence that non nutritional sweeteners lead to weight gain by screwing up appetite and hunger regulation, so the study’s conclusion isn’t particularly surprising.

I cannot state strongly enough that their reported finding about hunger not increasing relative to water directly contradicts this explanation.
I do YIMBY advocacy and this sounds policy change sounds like a good thing but I am always struck that our zoning is so restrictive that when people come up with different styles of housing it requires a law change and we talk about it like the law change is giving us this new cool style of housing. What is really happening is the law has taken away this style of housing and someone has come up with nice branding for a denser housing style that seems less scary so they are able budge zoning laws the tiniest bit to allow more density, but only if it is in this cool new style that we are OK with.
what a rant ... less swearing words and less polemic arguments would be good when exercising critism. Never heard about discussion culture? You're not better then trump and jd.
Edera developer here, we use Styrolite to run containers with Edera Protect. Edera Protect creates Zones to isolate processes from other Zones so that if someone were to break out of a container, they'd only see the zone processes. Not the host operating system or the hardware on the machine. The key difference here between us and other isolation implementations is that there is no performance degradation, you don't have to rebuild your container images, and that we don't require specific hardware (e.g. you can run Edera Protect on bare metal or on public cloud instances and everything else in-between).
the irony must be lost on me here, but I began writing Rust in German and never I had as much fun programming as since I began using German as main language.
Forgetting about Kamel or Kebab case? Love it.
German is awesome for programming, imao.

PS. I speak Persian, know Arabic, Serbian too but none offer the ease of text to code as German.
Psychology more than anything, to be honest. I know it's supposed to be visually lossless, but it does touch and nudge many pixels, and I just want the raw image. I do dabble in graphics and UI frontend at times, and I don't want to take chances. It's something that spending a little more time digging into the algorithmic details of DSC might address for me, but I haven't so far.
> Now, if no action were taken by browser vendors, the resolution would be simple: the developer would see that the styling on their site was completely broken, and fix it

This assumes the developer sees the output. I remember having a dozen browser builds in the 90s and still getting error reports from users with stuff I never heard of. And back then we didn’t have VMs so I had to keep a bunch of pcs, Macs, etc to test things out.

I think the reason browsers were so lax/supportive is that there were many browsers, servers, etc.

It would be so easy if you could just dev and test your site. But that didn’t work and in fact was kind of a bad approach as you ended up with really tightly wound to a single browser and “works for me” mentality that made users with different configs not use your site, or for intranet made people hate the author for forcing a config and devving in a dumb way (looking at you person who still makes me run ie11 to submit “telework agreements” at my org, you never should have built this to work with ie11 so many years ago).

It seemed like successful sites had to triangulate what the de facto standards are and code in a way that made testing really tough.

> They include some common appliances that use water, due to water use regulations. No reason my dishwasher should take over 2 hours to run

I don't think this is a great example, because saving water (and thus the energy needed to heat the water) is both a social good and a private good.

Your new dishwasher program might take longer because, for example, (a) it's more efficient to soak residues than keep blasting away at them, but it takes longer and (b) if you alternate between shooting water at the the top and bottom drawers (but not both at once) then you can get away with using half the water, in twice the time.

Most dishwashers have an 'express' programme that uses more water and energy to finish faster, so if that matters you can still have it. If it doesn't matter to you (e.g. because you're running the dishwasher overnight, or while you're at work), you and everyone else benefits from the greater efficiency.

So I think this is an unambiguous improvement. :)

The average quality of appliances is a separate question. Anecdotally, I finally had to replace a 22-year-old Neff dishwasher. I got a new Bosch one (same firm, different logo), and have been pleasantly surprised that the new model is still made in Germany, seems pretty solid, washes well, and is guaranteed for 5 years.
It's a bit weird. They didn't find any loneliness among the gender divide, but it also did note that Gaming among males has drastically increased. But on top of that, Gaming seems to be average in terms of satisfaction but still highly rated as "the worst use of your time".

It may suggest some internal polarization. There's a lot of young people who can more or less get by being a pseudo hermit between gaming, remote work, and necessities. But the ones who can't suffer greatly on a mental level. I wonder if breaking down games by genre or format would reveal anything?

Regardless, it did also say the primary factors overall have to do with economic, social, and community strength. It's no real secret by now thst Gen Z has had all the structures of yester-decade pulled up from under them. Job market is stonewalled for graduates, third places are dead or near-dead for community building, and social media further ruined a lot of incentive to meet locals in a physical setting.
On the other side, pallets and standard shipping containers exist.

>Finger pointing towards someone who actually found a vulnerability is just bleak. I would not willingly associate with anyone who engaged in such behavior.

Nobody is "finger pointing" Rachel for the vulnerability. They're calling her out for how she communicated it. I feel that's totally justified. For instance if someone found a critical RCE, but the report was a barely coherent stream of consciousness, it's totally fine to call the latter part out. That's not "finger pointing".

>But it's your job to fix them. Stop complaining.

It's the developers job to respond to bug reports in the form of vaguely written blog posts?

" as It Turns Out "
Do you have a source for this?

From what I've seen with infill in my area (Reston, VA, outside DC)... infill might slow the appreciation of adjacent property, but rarely/never hurts it. Surrounding property (>1 parcel away, give or take) generally increases in value, because along with the infill housing comes more amenities (commercial/retail redevelopment).

And for the property that was "infilled", the per unit price might be slightly lower, but the value of the entire property has gone up. Say the land cost $1 million, got split into 4 parcels, and each is now worth $275,000 (fabricated numbers).

EDIT - this isn't quite apples to apples, since we don't have the same rules as CA - we just have a massive amount of infill development happening along approved "density" corridors.
