Wow! I'm glad I asked, that sounds awesome. I hope you get a chance to do a writeup with some screenshots at the the end of it; that would make for a great read. Do you have any code public yet?

And TIL about elk! I've had kind of a half project, called `gstd`, which tries to create a standard library/API to make working with node graphs in code as easy as working with other abstract data types, like Arrays. One of the important bits is that it lets you console log a graph so you can see it. I've been using d3 force directed graphs for layouts, and have played around with some custom layout algorithms, but have yet to find a good solution. Elk might actually be just what I've been looking for there!

Thanks for taking the time to respond!
You two should get in touch and swap roles occasionally
It's cool but it's not getting any more newsworthy. Submitted 9 times to HN so far since 2013.
Yeah, I've heard this theory before, and it kinda makes sense. Except that there are other countries (most of the Anglosphere, including the UK) that also had slavery, (and/or have confronting relationships with their indigenous population), and don't feel that same fear.

Is there something unique about the USA's history with slavery that would cause this?
Thanks for bringing my attention to the comment guidelines, I'll try to keep to them in the future. I assure you, I do write here in good faith.

I'm open to listening to those who oppose the EU's position on Apple's ecosystem. I draw the line at people comparing Apple's circumstances with those portrayed in Harrison Bergeron. Apple, its developer community and its app ecosystem are unlike anyone in that story, and they certainly aren't oppressed rebels. That comparison was an editorial choice made by John Gruber in his coverage of tech news, including a link to a copy of the story he personally typeset. It rang loudly then of sentimental bias, and it's still ringing.

I don't have evidence of the makeup of the Daring Fireball readership, but many of them are at least adjacent to the tech industry, and so his words have incredible reach, Hacker News notwithstanding. But what are his credentials? When he weighs the merits of a programming language, an API, a platform, or anything technical, I want him to speak from experience. Collaborating with Aaron Swartz twenty-one years ago on Markdown is respectfully not very relevant technical experience in the domains DF traditionally covers. Vesper was one ObjC app written by three people in 2013. I'm glad it was well-received, but again, what significance does Gruber's experience have? Why should the industry listen to him when he (admittedly not so often nowadays) discusses software development? If asked, I think he'd strongly agree that people in power should have considerable relevant experience.

PS— the article that began this discussion is, "The Website Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss". As you can see, I've been eager, not afraid, to discuss the merits of Daring Fireball, though not so eager as to upvote it on HN.
I had a brief look over the study [1] a couple of times - specifically looking for what other factors of the diet they monitored. I'm more prone to skimming these days but still I could find no information other than how they tested with the additional gluten vs placebo.

In other words there's no outline of the diet these participants during the time of testing. It's IMHO either, poor design or an unfortunate oversight not to include these important details in the released study.

The study number being 36 in total is probably enough as an indicator whether to proceed with a wider more defined study though. Their next more involved study should definitely look through the food additive list long and hard looking for slight noise about some people experiencing a little discomfort. It would make for a more definitive study.

With most people who are questioning if or that they do find at times they appear to be gluten intolerant, the type of gluten eventually arises. There are many types of gluten. When going down the rabbit hole of what might be causing their gut issue other considerations of various known trigger foods for other gut conditions. (eg FODMAP) However the idea of another food type being a co-factor of gluten sensitivity is not greatly explored.

Personally, I have struggled with various trigger foods most of my life, and for a long 10 years or more being between tolerant to problematic with regular bread and various cereal consumption, I consigned that I was somewhat sensitive to gluten, though at times I had no issues with it. Long story short, I found my life long mystery gut issue that plagued me was 160b food additive, annatto. (As well as any derivatives of annatto) In a happy discovery, the eating of food with 160b in it, correlated with a prolonged response (a few days) to glutens. Obviously I found out only after cutting out and avoiding 160b as best I could. A real huh moment, and yes, sometimes not all food labels are precise enough, so I've had the opportunity to observe how it tied into my gluten sensitivity response.

Exactly, In my local pharmacy in NYC there is no attendant specifically for the self-checkouts, it's usually someone floating around or the same person doing manual checkout. In Japan the person is very present, willing to help, and says thank you very much, which also prompts me to say thank you in return.
Tell HN: Archive.is/ph/md/etc. is redirecting me to HTTPS:// rurtnews – com
This started happening in the past couple hours.

At first, I thought my browser (Firefox ESR 128.8.0) might have been compromised, but I couldn't locate anything malicious.

I searched around and only found one discussion about this. A reddit thread[0] which mentions the exact same behavior:

1. Attempt to archive a page;

2. Get confronted with a CAPTCHA;

3. Before I can even finish doing the CAPTCHA and clicking submit, the page redirects to https:// rurtnews . com, which is Russia Today/RT.

Anyone else experiencing this aside from me and a half-dozen redditors?

I'd note that I was able to get the redirects to stop and archive.org to work properly (well, except for the CAPTCHAs -- but those are pretty much every time now for the past month or so) by setting[1]:

accessibility.blockautorefresh = true

It's a poor work around, but until I figure out what's going on, it will have to do.

Thanks for your kind comments. I will keep working on it. Also so many typos in my comment.
The fatal error volume was so overwhelming that we didn't have any option but understanding the problem in perfect detail so that we could fix it if the problem was on our side, or avoid it if it was caused by something like our compiler or the browser.

Our team also had a very grindy culture, so "I'm going to put in extra hours focusing exclusively on our top crash" was a pretty normalized behavior. After I left that team (and Google), most of my future teams have been more forgiving on pace for non-outages.
Right, Jesus is to be understood historically as a 1st century Jew who lead a movement. Just as Paul is understood historically as a very early Christian (and Jew), not a modern day one. Paul wouldn't have even understood something called Christianity as a separate religion.
If safety was the only thing that mattered the your point would be interesting
But for example Toy Story (1995) had a budget of 30 million. Today's Disney box office flops have budgets closer to 250 million.
CSV has caused me a lot of problems due to the weak type system. If I save a Dataframe to CSV and reload it, there is no guarantee that I'll end up with an identical dataframe.

I can depend on parquet. The only real disadvantages with parquet are that they aren't human-readable or mutable, but I can live with that since I can easily load and resave them.
I'd add that other browsers (presumably with autorefresh disabled), even Firefox (not ESR) on other systems aren't seeing this behavior.

Very odd.

Edit: I take that back. Firefox 135.0 is redirecting as well. However, Palemoon, Chrome and Edge are not doing such redirects. It seems like this may be limited to browsers (perhaps just firefox) with auto-refresh enabled.
I imagine most of the time its not really about the money but grief and bottled up disagreements coming out in weird ways.
"Android was nothing when the ball started rolling, which is when Apple used its leverage (and Cingular’s struggle at the time) to be as independent of the carrier as it could. The early success of the iPhone spooked Verizon, which put a huge amount of resources behind the Droid campaign, which is when Android really took off. This is fairly well documented. "

I disagree pretty strongly with this - I was around at the time, involved in the contracts and very close with the business folks.

This is definitely not the version of history i lived or remember :)

But honestly, it was also 2 decades ago so i don't care enough to go dig up data to refute it, so i'll drop it.
BlackRock is the ultimate moral hazard.
I hate to be that guy, but one does not follow the other. To some, just the initial appearance of 'acceptable'/'good enough' is, well, good enough. Current set of LLMs can absolutely replace us while breaking a lot in the process.

Great breakdown, appreciate it.

I think most of the hype around MCP is just excitement that tool use can actually work and seeing lots of little examples where it does.

Watching Claude build something in Blender was pure magic, even if it is rough around the edges.
Building rockets as cheaply as they did is the impressive part.

The EU can certainly throw money at the problem but that doesn’t necessarily manifest cheap rockets. It’s a product of leadership and culture. My experience with the EU is one of a top heavy bureaucracy that’s not overly conducive to this type of cowboy rocketry. Consider the absence of an EU version of Silicon Valley, it’s just computers and with the internet people can program from anywhere…
You very conveniently ignored my demand for official apology to Signal team. Why? What you have against them? Or everything should burn because half of America hates Trump? ;-) What about my point of running Signal on officially issued by Whitehouse phones? Do you disagree with that? Or we are ignoring the facts again, to make TDS the center of our conversation? And, what I _really_ want to know - will you continue using Signal or, as result of that stupid publication, you would ditch it?
Thank you and please don't take my post wrong - I respect your views very much, I am just appalled how Signal is getting hurt among all that. It's unfair to Developers and great people workingin Signal team.
I think of working problem sets as training in the sense of gym training rather than job training.

Gym training is also good for your brain of course.

I really wish GIMP could take a page from their playbook. The GIMP 3.0 release was such a disappointment (and also unusable... Switch between brush types and it crashes).
Perhaps the requirement that candidates be able to use modern digital services and devices, especially their security settings, should be included in the Senate hearing for the confirmation of a government official? :D
CSV is so deceptively simple that people don't care understanding it. I wasted countless hours working around services providing non-escaped data that off the shelf parsers could not parse.
I often wonder the same thing. My conclusion has been that automobile infrastructure swallowed the budget.
For me 20 years ago there was also the fight between Maya and Max. But yes Maya was the standard. Our company switched also to blender which would have been crazy 10 years ago. It’s an awesome story for Blender and it community and of course the people given their heart and some into this software.

I have a second hand experience with this. A friend trying to open a quickbooks account. He created the account successfully, his card was charged but then couldn't login as his account essentially doesn't exist. Contacting support was useless because they can't find his account either (though one was able to locate the charge and refund it).

Tried it again and hop the same issue. Now he is going for a chargeback. There is nobody in quickbooks that can solve this problem as most of the support (from India) seems to be there just to re-read manuscripts.

How hard is it to learn Blender? I did a bunch of 3dsMax when I was in high school, but I haven’t touched any of this stuff in 25 years at this point.
That shop is great! I've found a variety of treasures there over the last few years, including a mint-condition red leather recliner for $150 and a 60's era Soviet toy house. My favorite was a beautifully executed, life-sized oil painting of a nude; it started at $1200 and went down to $200 over the course of a few weeks, at which point I just had to buy it despite not really having the wall space to hang it up. I wanted to find out more about the subject, so I Googled the artist's signature, found the painting on his website, and reached out to chat. Turns out the painting had been stolen from his friend's house decades ago and he'd been looking for it ever since! We met up after he told me his story and I "sold" the painting back to him for the listing price; he left me a very generous tip and an art book.

One thing that could happen is that you could have seen a truly horrible image.
You are overestimating the voices / anecdotes / evangelists from the internet. I did this as well ... so no offense. When reading HN or Reddit one can easily get the impression that Java, C++ and C# are dead and the world has turned to Rust and Go. Esp. C# is underrated in the real world.

Here's some data of 12M scraped job offerings:

https://www.devjobsscanner.com/blog/top-8-most-demanded-prog...

JavaScript: 31.42%

Python: 19.68%

Java: 18.51%

C#: 11.90%

C/C++: 8.29%

Go: 2.38%

Rust: 0.39%

I was a bit shocked about the Rust numbers. I'd expected it to be slightly above Go. Anyway. C# is strong. Java even more.
As a pilot, if I see a notam "that caused restricted … notices to be issued"-- especially in a military context-- I would be very comfortable describing the affected airspace as "shut down". I'm probably missing something as your link to an apparently low quality story is also paywalled. Maybe they're referring to the fact that the military almost always exempts itself from its TFRs, so technically it wasn't completely "shut down", but by that definition no airspace is ever shut down.
Haha. I really like your observational cynicism, Paul.
This repro was a few times per day, but try fixing a Linux kernel panic when you don't even have C/C++ on your resume, and everyone who originally set stuff up has left...

Point being that the difficulty of a fix can come from many possible places.
When I was 12 I was just learning stuff and wrote something in C, which crashed at unpredictable intervals and I could not explain it. I took it to my 14 year old uncle who was better than me at coding for help. Now mind you this is ~ 40 years ago but I seem to remember that Borland Turbo C (I still love that IDE blue color) had debugging with breakpoints (mind blowing!) which eventually led to "duh you didn't dispose of your pointer and are reusing it and the memory there is now garbage" or something like that. I vaguely recall * or * being somewhere nearby. This was my first intro to RTFM and debugging and what a powerful intro.
PaperWM: Tiled scrollable window management for GNOME Shell
Damnit, you beat me to it.

Let me clarify what I would have meant with my “no”. Hydrogen fuel has been pushed by petroleum companies for decades. Widespread adoption would simply allow them to continue business as usual with “zero emissions” greenwashing capabilities (and additional social and environmental costs of a cryogenic delivery pipeline). Nobody who actually knows and cares about renewable fuels takes it seriously. The people who push it are known shills in the employ of large oil companies.
I think the use cases are slightly different between for the two. The playwright MCP depends on the mcp server (like claude desktop or cursor) to provide the intelligence, while browser-use can "think" by itself. Plus it seems that unless you use the vision mode, you are kind of restricted to the accessibility tree, which may not be present or well populated depending on the website you're using. This also means that it won't really work as well with stuff like cursor/windsurf since they don't really process images from MCPs right now.

I'm more in the camp of using claude computer-use/openai cua. I think they work better for most things, especially if you don't interact with hidden/obscured elements.

If you're interested in comparing these different services, you can try HyperPilot by Hyperbrowser at https://pilot.hyperbrowser.ai .

Disclaimer: I worked on Hyperpilot so I might be a bit biased.

There are not far more types of fiber cable, there are far more types of jackets :)

You are confusing the cable jacket with the fiber cable inside of it.
This is the spec on the jacket they use and they didn't design this particular jacket to be flexible enough to survive flexing at the level the fiber cable inside of it can. Sure - not all jackets can be bent as much as the fiber. Some because they are not made to be as flexible (as here), some because it's basically impossible (armored interlocking jackets), etc.

I'm not sure what this changes?

The part number with suffix AB0403 (the SMF A1 fiber), if you cut the jacket, you should be able to bend the fiber cable inside at a radius of 10mm and have it be fine. It appears to be standard G.657A1 fiber cable inside.

There are really not far more types of fiber cable than i listed, and this spec sheet definitely does nothing to support that claim, since as i said, it has A1 fiber cable inside the cable jacket that will happily support a 10mm bend radius.

BTW, as an aside, I wouldn't use this stuff - just looking at this sheet and pricing at my normal fiber distributors - it is both overpriced and underspec'ed for its price. Which seems pretty typical for leviton :)

Most 24 standard I/O plenum cable is going to be 7.8mm (this is 9.9, so 30% thicker), and have less than half that bend radius even with non-flexible OFNP rated jackets. If you are being charged more than 2 bucks a foot for it, you should consider other options.
It's all true but I'm surprised it took so long to realize this. As someone who is not an early adopter, I decided to give AI a shot in helping with an existing project a few days ago. I immediately realized almost everything mentioned here. However, the sentiment of everything i've read before was that AI can already replace me. In reality I enjoy steering it to reach a solution.

One thing that’s incorrect in the article:

I mean it could also be to make people fear being watched/rolled up at any moment.
That reminded me of a former colleague at the desk next to me randomly exclaiming one day that he had just fixed a bug he had created 20 years ago.

The bug was actually quite funny in a way: it was in the code displaying the internal temperature of the electronics box of some industrial equipment. The string conversion was treating the temperature variable as an unsigned int when it was in fact signed. It took a brave field technician in Finland in winter, inspecting a unit in an unheated space to even discover this particular bug because the units' internal temperatures were usually about 20C above ambient.
Could you elaborate on your issues with LangChain?

We're kinda headed towards using it as it seems to be a flexible enough abstraction that is relatively stable to work with, so I'd like to know if I'm overlooking something..?
The parent's point stands. Their comment isn't lacking context, and fundamentally it sounds like we all agree with their argument; the sentiment towards Apple has changed, and the environment these blogposts exist in is not the same. Gruber started blogging in an era when people had hope for Tim Cook, a sentiment that has basically dried up entirely today. The starry-eyed optimism for local-first development is dead in the Apple Intelligence era, and Apple's vision for the future is muddled.

Yes, this is the dynamic that emerges. When trust breaks down over silly things like keyboard reliability and right to repair and third-party app stores and $99/year service fees, people that were once rooting for Apple start to question why we hold out hope at all. It's not Gruber's fault for remaining faithful, but many of his modern articles are out-of-touch with the reality of Apple's situation. It's like performative bewilderment at this point, which this OP article really seems to reflect.

It's a lot easier to type comma than control characters and it's a lot easier to view comma than a tab (which might look like a space).

For automated serialization, plain text formats won out, because they are easy to implement a minimal working solution (both import and export) and more importantly, almost all systems agree on what plain text is.

We don't really have Apple formatted text, that will show up as binary on windows. Especially if you are just transferring id's and numbers, those will fall within ascii and that will work even if you are expecting unicode.
I suppose it isn't entirely paradoxical, but I disliked the dragon book, even though I rather liked Hopcroft/Motwani/Ullman's (theoretical, non-compiler book) Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation. (Turing award winner) Ullman giveth and taketh away.

Purple dragon (Aho/Lam/Sethi/Ullman) is probably better than red (or green) dragon though, as it adds some interesting topics.

In an undergrad course, I'd probably prefer a simple book that uses recursive descent.
Wow. They really want us to know that they just received $30mil in funding and that they are going do disrupt the dominant paradigm because they just received $30mil in funding because they are the fastest growing startup that is disrupting authentication.
