I appreciate Caido because of the ability to save projects in the free tier, which I use for (personal use) different projects and tinkering. Burp Pro is my daily driver at work, and I think Caido could certainly use some improvement to their UI/UX, as it's about as bad as Burp's (which isn't great).

The speed is an awesome gain though, as it's truly lightweight and runs a million times better than Burp. Even without Extensions, some days my Burp Pro is just randomly crashing and gobbling up CPU/RAM for no obvious reason and requires a program or system restart. I've never run into the same issue with Caido.
In fairness, this is the standard university experience and has been for many decades. You either figure out how to balance your time and make the grades or you don’t.
I don't see any reason to believe this was requested by the Anaconda developers. For example, it refers to the Anaconda developers in the third person: "For example adding a footnote in a 2014 answer to state Anaconda has started restricting commercial usage is insufficient and misleading, as they have restricted nearly all usage later."

This seems more likely to have been written by some third party who'd annoyed about the license change.

This is exactly the kind of quiet financial engineering that changes the game for average savers—without their input. Most people already don’t understand how their 401(k) works, and now we’re going to default them into opaque, illiquid private equity products?

Sure, PE firms want access to that $12T market, but let’s be real: this is about locking in long-term capital with limited transparency and even more fees. The risk/reward profile is completely different from stocks/bonds.

And it’s all being decided over a Zoom call between megafunds a week before Trump’s second inauguration. Not a great look. But unfortunately this is towards the bottom of the list of egregious shit that has happened in the last couple of months.
Pretty amazing.

I don't think it's about hard data and optimization of health, but rather bodily autonomy.

I'm sure there are plenty of chemicals that could be forcibly put in the drinking supply that, based on current scient, would be beneficial for the public. But I would still be skeptical. Sell me these substances in my food or toothpaste, but don't put it in my drinking water by default.

It's also worth noting about 3% of western Europe has fluorinated so let's not pretend like this is unprecedented
Yes, and that's already the relationship the US has with Greenland. Until recently anyway, obviously they've lost some control now by burning away any good will or atmosphere of cooperation hat there was
I wish my books were that cheap. 20 years ago. Even used they were well above that price.
Isn't this gaslighting and bullying?

Why would StackOverflow need to delete mentions of trademarked or closed-source software? SO doesn't need to delete mentions of Windows, though their license terms have changed to require MS login, for example.

I am not an employee of Anaconda. I don't know anything else about their ongoing actions given terms that apply to commercial entities FWIU.

One should not legally threaten third parties with false authority about copyright, trademark, wordmark or the like.

If you do not want to pay Anaconda for their package manager and package repos of mostly open source code, you can use conda-forge with micromamba or conda or mamba or pixi, which are all BSD licensed.

FWIW, the conda-forge repos are also hosted by Anaconda at Anaconda's expense.
Kotlin as well, with the "tailrec" keyword, e.g. "tailrec fun fibonacci()"

https://kotlinlang.org/docs/functions.html#tail-recursive-fu...

Kotlin also has a neat other tool, "DeepRecursiveFunction<T, R>" that allows defining deep recursion that is not necessarily tail-recursive.

Really useful if you wind up a problem that is most cleanly solved with mutual recursion or similar:

> Should we add that to everyone's drinking water?

Consider the following: Many water sources have a ton of salts and such in them naturally. Fluoride being one of them. The reason why water fluoridation became a thing in the first place is because it was noticed that higher natural levels of fluoridation resulted in fewer caries.

Water treatment in order to make it safe to drink often involves processes that remove and filter out these minerals and chemicals. Which means said things need to be added back in, as part of the treatment process.

I would reverse the whole thing and say that if you were to time your very best moments of work, or creativity, you will find them to be shockingly brief, and remembering the specific conditions that led to those moments, is the thing to focus on and foster.

I agree that composition is much better than inheritance for most typical code cases. However, there are cases where inheritance is absolutely the correct model and not having inheritance makes for worse code. I may not use inheritance very often (it rarely makes sense in a systems context) but it is nice to have it when it is unambiguously the right tool for the job.

Most code paradigms exist because there is some code context where they are nearly ideal. Someone invented them to handle that case efficiently and elegantly. If you write diverse software long enough you will come across all of those contexts in real code.

I’m the opposite of a model purist. I have a strong preference for a languages that let you efficiently switch models on a very granular basis as may be useful in the moment.
“ Actual reseachers don't really talk about links to IQ.”

Sorry but this reddit consensus is out of step with actual researchers. The #1 paediatric journal has published quite a bit on this recently. Basically the evidence isn’t of high quality but what we have doesn’t look great.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/...
This is so weird! I entered "German health insurance" because that's what I'm working on at the moment. Every link I clicked had the faintest whiff of usefulness, but was ultimately completely worthless. It was like a pointless maze that never had any satisfying payoff. The name is really appropriate.
Don't be so quick. That debt was only $2m per branch, ie. each branch would have to pay $8k/month interest if they paid 5% interest. Significant but not likely to be the biggest cost per branch.

This feeling will never go away because it’s not caused by circumstances, it’s caused by anxiety.

You’re a student ostensibly studying computer science at University. Taking a few hours a week to stop a smell the roses has zero chance of being the thing that pushes you into homelessness.

When you start working the anxiety won’t go away. You’ll always have the next thing to worry about. What if I lose this job—I only have 6 months of savings. Then you get married and it becomes—if I lose my job my spouse will divorce me. You have a kid and it becomes “Sorry honey I have to work late. Dinner
with the family isn’t a priority when the kids could literally become homeless if I lose my job and we can’t afford good schools.”

You can’t fix the anxiety by accomplishing the next goal. It’s never going to be enough. You have to learn to live with some uncertainty or you’ll end up miserable.

Also from a more practical perspective, there are advantages to being a more well rounded person. The best programmer is rarely the highest paid. Soft skills are at least as important. Being a well rounded human is a big part of those soft skills.

I’m not saying you necessarily need to be well versed in literary fiction. But having a wide breadth of knowledge comes in handy.
> Moon or low Earth orbit

Nobody lives there (within rounding error), and shipping in supplies to build rockets costs even more than launching from the ground.

Also we can do reusable launches to LEO so it's not all that inefficient.
If you can bear with me while i attempt a synthesis here, I think this one line captures basically the entire dynamic, but the author seems to seriously underweight its explanatory value.

> The average student has seen college as basically transactional for as long as I’ve been doing this

It is a transaction. The number of students there because they want to learn a subject rounds to zero. A college degree (especially from good old State U) serves first and foremost as a white-collar job permit. The students (or their parents/lender/state) are purchasing the permit from the institution. They are the customer. Anything you, the employee, ask of them beyond the minimum to hold up the fig leaf is a waste of the students' time (from their perspective) and a violation of the implied terms of this transaction.
Fewer than one in 10 plans offer any kind of alternative investment, according to an American Retirement Association survey. Only 2.4% make private equity available.

Just what retirees need. PE and VC vultures don't have access to dumb institutional money anymore, so they're lining up to suck the blood out of tens of millions of little people.

They know that there are many who are either ignorant or desperate enough to go all in on crypto, AI, NFTs, inflated "unicorns" or whatever other hot scam that rises up in the future.

Bagholders will be retirees who have no recourse when 99% of these schemes fail, while the hyenas laugh all the way to the bank.
Calling Mormons socialist is inaccurate. Socialism is government-forced redistribution of wealth. A large majority of Mormons, at least in Utah, are very much opposed to that. You are correct that a large majority of Mormons voluntarily share their wealth with the poor and needy.

You are incorrect saying that you have to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the actual name of the "Mormon church") to receive these benefits. In some cases there will be conditions, like if you want to attend one of the church universities you will need to promise to abstain from alcohol (one example), but becoming a baptized member of the church is not required
Zig's tco support is not much different than Clang's `[[clang::musttail]]` in C++. Both have the big restriction that the two functions involved are required to have the same signature.
Portland, Oregon is a city so the effects of their policies are a little more limited in scope. IMO if it really is a contentious health issue (well-founded or not, I guess people really do disagree about this issue) it is better to make the decision at the lowest level practical.

I think most cities manage their own utilities. So, Portland has to make some decision on this issue. Utah doesn’t, it was an active choice to intervene.
> I know it's very petty

No it isn't.
Computing is largely a cargo cult thing these days.

The problem is that the interfaces these bootleg skins draw "inspiration" from were designed on the back of millions of pre-inflationary dollars' R&D from only the best at Golden-Age IBM, Microsoft, Apple, etc.. BeOS, OS/2, Windows 95-2000 do not look the way they do because it looks good, they look the way they do because it works good, countless man hours went into ensuring that. Simply designing an interface that looks similar is not going to bring back the engineering prowess of those Old Masters.
I don't want to write a novel with AI. I want to read them (when they're good enough) because i love reading. Sometimes i want to read something with a certain dynamic and it gets difficult finding human written recommendations.
I think that should be "first commercial orbital launch attempt from continental Europe".

Commercial is required to exclude launches from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, orbital is required to exclude the Miura 1 attempt, Europe is required for obvious reasons & continental is required to exclude the LauncherOne attempt, and attempt is required for obvious reasons.
It’s happening already. Indexing propelled the Tesla scam, by shoveling lots of dumb money into it.

If you’re a boglehead with your money in VTI, you have 1.5% of your money in a meme stock. Big scammy companies like Tesla drag the whole market down when they pop.
He is not wrong. My software compiled with Borland Delphi 1.0 works beautifully with Wine under Linux and works just good as well under Windows.

I'm saying this as Java developer. Delphi eventually proved itself to be the true "compile once, run everywhere". Can imagine others who wrote executables for Windows before the .NET times can relate to similar experiences.
Actually, the MS Windows license terms haven't changed to require login.

Is there a way to mirror conda-forge packages; or donate to a foundation for bandwidth, storage, maintenance, and package maintenance costs?
Yeah, I really hate the rise of private equity.

So much financial protection comes from public companies trading. But that's also means it's somewhat harder to gamble on the system and manipulate the market.

With companies going private and private equity being more commercialized, we are going to see some nasty stuff. Finance has always had nasty parts, however, no good comes from less transparency.

We need new financial regulations around private equity ASAP. Up to and including making the trade of private equity illegal. Having a private black market for equity is bad for everyone other than insiders.
"The NTP monograph concluded, with moderate confidence, that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children".

They found drinking water with levels that lowered IQ. The actual conclusion was that higher levels (that were found in drinking water) lower IQ.

For lower levels the conclusion is we don't know how it effects IQ. The actual bold face conclusion is "More research is needed to better understand if there are health risks associated with low fluoride exposures".
Most of my generation doesn't even consider "passive investments" because the previous generations have ruined any chance of owning a home let alone building wealth outside of a few very lucky individuals showered with VC money. Not sure you're going to find sympathy nobody
To be clear, I don't support this. StringZilla is a real and useful project, and its performance is competitive with memchr. They aren't a poser.

(There are reasons to use StringZilla over memchr beyond performance. StringZilla provides a number of interesting string operations beyond just substring search. The memchr crate is far more specialized.)

Because from a UX perspective, basically nothing has change. UI of course, but UX is the same like in the 90's following "The Design of Everyday Things" by Donald A.

I think its more about the change management, expectations. For example in Win XP you had the option to use the NT theme. As a user: "I can decide when to move on to the new design."

Usually around 50% of your users are conservative about change. You have to keep this in mind when u change design.
On the other hand, if you sell a product with subscription, you have to introduce new feature, else user will move to another product. But, when you introduce new feature, UI gets more complicated and user will blame you for that.
Private equity firms have a strong tendency to make everything worse for anybody who isn't the private equity firm. I guess it's time to find a different place for my retirement funds.
If someone is hiding something, it means they have something to hide.
Awesome! This should be part of the language - but not sure if anyone is looking into it.
Many places in Europe have high levels of fluoride in their water naturally. In fact many of them are likely getting far too much fluoride.

Also realistically, if people cared about bodily autonomy cars would've been banned immediately thanks to the amount of particulates and local pollution produced causing far more adverse health effects.
Huh, I guess my 401(k) has already been mistreated. I made most of the money I have for retirement when I worked at Intel, and seeing the lawsuit is really interesting/concerning.

Guess it's time to roll over the 401(k) to my new job and take a more active role in managing it - I want it almost all explicitly in the market (and not in private equity) at this point in my life.

Thanks for posting this, my retirement funds are a big deal to me and I hate that people less informed will probably be screwed by moves like this.
if you look around the web, there is an alternate reality that says the direct opposite from you.

I hope that electorally there's a huge swing in the other direction and we can do big things like tax carried interest properly.
yeah, it usually functions like a simplified wikipedia. It is more useful for simpler subjects in its current form, but ultimately its just a bit of fun
THAT is gross. At least when books were expensive, you knew you could recoup some of that cost the following year selling them back. It also meant you could buy them cheaper used. Assuming you didn't have a professor assigning their own texts and insisting you got the latest edition...
The solution to ALL of this is a very simple randomised controlled trial. Identify 1000 pregnant women in a fluorinated area, give half of them free unfluorinated bottled water for their pregnancy and first 2 years of babies life, and let the other half drink tap water, then measure all of the kids’ iqs at 5 years.

Sadly noone has done this because the topic is too radioactive for most researchers or science funders to touch.

WH Chief of Staff Susie Wiles first interview [video]
I'm the OP of the Reddit thread and have no qualms about sharing more info here on HN.

I applied for a position at bunq (https://www.bunq.com/), and the service they wanted me to use was Neurolytics (https://neurolytics.ai/) to proceed with the application.

Things I found particularly troubling:

Quoting from [1]:

--

The Cultural Fit scan

The cultural fit scan empowers you and the hiring company to see how well you’re a match with the companies value and culture. The scan consists for two parts:
Watching a company video (~2 min.)

As you’re watching the video, your webcam is recording. Our smart technology can analyze your behavioral qualities to measure your engagement levels with the various messages in the video.

--

And

--

To learn more about your cognitive abilities, you’ll be taking a 10 minute timed questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 4 types of questions:

- General Knowledge
- Logical reasoning
- Numerical reasoning
- Verbal reasoning

As you’re taking the questionnaire, you’re being recorded. The scores of this questionnaire, will tell the recruiter more about your stress resilience and your ease under pressure.

--

Not only does this strike me as pure BS from an analytical/scientific POV, it's also just troubling that they expect anyone to be okay with something as insane as this - especially since they keep talking about "valuing privacy and fairness for every applicant" ([2], under "Automated Decision Making & Fairness") ("No hidden biases, no guesswork").

Idk where you live, but bags are not any more common in my experience than in the 90s.

The more likely reality is that gamers have different expectations today.

The kinds of games you’d play on everything prior to the 3DS are things you’d play on mobile phones now.

That leaves the middle area of more high fidelity games, with better ergonomics and closer to home consoles. That’s what the Switch , the PSP and Vita and 3DS occupy.

They can’t compete anymore in the absolute mobile end of gaming space , so moved into the space in between. That requires larger devices to provide the experience gamers want that they can’t get on the average phone till recently.
I clicked one link on the first page (procrastination). It gave me five bullet points and a prompt to pay for something. An LLM provides more advice for free.
Honestly I wonder the same. App stores have big % cuts for the provider, I believe Apple has a 30% cut? Surely this number is big enough to justify spending the resources for a mobile first site?
I can't imagine wanting a 2.0 release, I'd rather take longer to get to 1.0 to reduce the risk of needing it, and anyway I'd much prefer to aim for something like Rust's editions, allowing the language to evolve without the whole community needing to migrate.

Before 1.0 I'd want to address at least:

- the FFI / package management topics mentioned above

- async support: https://github.com/koto-lang/koto/issues/277

- extend the parser to support an autoformatter: https://github.com/koto-lang/koto/issues/286

...and then have a larger number of people using it in projects without major issues coming up for a good while, e.g. a year+.
I would love to see a multi-decade model of 4 scenarios measuring quality of life, economic growth, and wealth distribution specifically around the re-allocation of this $12T.

1. Baseline Status quo - no changes.

2. Move all $12T into reducing the $36T of US debt. 1 time payment. All 401k’s are reduced to $0.

3. Allow for PE to productize into this $12T, siphoning off various amounts over time.

4. 401k holders can choose their own non-traditional investments.

I’m not advocating for any specific outcome because I know nothing on this topic but as a starting point, show me what happens with each, normalized and compared.
Probably a reference to tarrifs.
