Meanwhile, looking through my SMS history, I have 8 texts from this week addressed to either my grandmother, who is 86 and recovering from a stroke, or her last boyfriend, who is dead, telling me about GOP candidates in Nevada. I have never lived in Nevada. She no longer lives in Nevada. He no longer lives at all. I haven't voted since 2004.

41,793,914 | comment | zbentley | 2024-10-09T23:26:12 | null | Your Homebrew may not be configured to pull only the runtime dependencies; as others in this thread have mentioned, it's pulling in all those dependencies becauase it's building "eza" (or something, perhaps one of "eza"'s few transitives) from source, which brings in quite the list, including openjdk as you saw.<p>Homebrew can accidentally end up configured to do this in a number of ways. Some of these may no longer be issues; this list is from memory and should be taken with a grain of salt:<p>- You might be running an outdated homebrew.<p>- You might have homebrew checked out as a git checkout, thus missing "brew update" abilities. "brew doctor" will report on this.<p>- You might have "inherited" your Homebrew install from a prior Mac (e.g. via disk clone or Time Machine), or from the brief transitional period where Homebrew was x86-via-Rosetta on ARM macs, thus leaving your brew in a situation where it can't find prebuilt packages ("bottles") for what it observes as a hybrid/unique platform. Tools, <i>including your shell</i>, which install Homebrew for you might install it as the wrong (rosetta-emulated) architecture if any process-spawning part of the tool is an x86-only binary. More details on a similar situation I found myself in are here: <a href="https://blog.zacbentley.com/post/dtrace-macos/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.zacbentley.com/post/dtrace-macos/</a><p>- (I'm pretty sure most issues in this area have been fixed, but) you might have an old or "inherited" XCode or XCode CLT installation. These, too, can propagate from backups. Removing Homebrew, uninstalling/reinstalling XCode/CLT, and reinstalling Homebrew can help with this.<p>- The HOMEBREW_ARCH, HOMEBREW_ARTIFACT_DOMAIN, HOMEBREW_BOTTLE_DOMAIN, or other environment variables may be set in your shell such that Homebrew either thinks the platform doesn't have bottles available or it shouldn't download them: <a href="https://docs.brew.sh/Manpage#environment" rel="nofollow">https://docs.brew.sh/Manpage#environment</a><p>- Perhaps obvious, but your "brew" command might be invoked such that it always builds from source, e.g. via a shell alias.<p>- Homebrew may be unable to access the bottle repository (<a href="https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/" rel="nofollow">https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/</a>), either due to a network/firewall issue or a temporary outage. | null | null | 41,792,527 | 41,791,708 | null | [

b) districts are often drawn to lock-in control for a specific party

State senate and house seats are often no better.<p>However, much to the credit of the sibling response, there are all kinds of local and regional races as well as ballot initiatives that are important. | null | null | 41,793,483 | 41,792,780 | null | [

I'm not sure what makes you think I failed to understand this. Allow me to quote myself<p><pre><code> >> It is fair to say that the "aim" isn't about reproducible software, but it is a direct consequence of the software being open source.
</code></pre>
But also, my entire point is not really about the reproducible build aspect. It is that if we're going to draw an analogy then the training and data IS the source. At worst, we'd say it is the build instructions.<p>But maybe I don't understand Open Source. Is it still Open Source if I provide the source code, an Apache License, but the code is in my own custom language (for fun, let's say it reads like brainfuck) and I have no released the compiler? Maybe some people would call this Open Source, but I imagine it would ruffle a lot of feathers. Is there really a meaningful difference between that an a binary? If it does fit "the letter of the law" it most certainly does not fit "spirit of the law". It is the spirit of the law that matters, because it is the whole fucking point. | null | null | 41,792,903 | 41,791,426 | null | null | null | null |
41,793,922 | comment | bigiain | 2024-10-09T23:28:05 | null | There's also the fact that hard drive capacities keep increasing and increasing significantly faster that the power required, and sooner or later for very long term storage it'd become cheaper to migrate all your data from those 5 year old 4TB drives to more modern 16TB ones. That's assuming you want hot access to the data and don't plan on spinning them down as soon as you've written to them, like you'd do for a cold backup of the whole IA.<p>I remember for a long time (I'm talking 20-ish years back here), every hard drive I bought had double or more the capacity of every drive I'd ever bought previously combined. My first ever 40MB (yes, megabyte) drive got upgraded to an 80MB one, that got updated to a 250MB one, then a 750MB, and then a whopping 2GB drive (how would I _ever_ fill that up???) - and so on. That's slowed down some, but I'm currently starting to think about upgrading my 8TB drives (Raid1 pair) with 20TB drives when the prices start to drop a bit more. | null | null | 41,793,831 | 41,792,500 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,929 | comment | lilyball | 2024-10-09T23:29:10 | null | I've long wished to have the free time to write a Tcl-derived language, because it really is so elegant in many ways, it just needs a bit of modernization in some areas. It's been years since I really thought much about this but I recall one of the things it's missing is closures (it does have lambdas at least).<p>Reading through this article, the memoize implementation does have an issue which is if the memoized command wants to call uplevel or upvar it'll get the wrong stack frame. If I were writing this I'd structure it so it's used like<p><pre><code> proc myMemoizingProcedure { ... } {
memoize {
... the rest of the code ...
}
}
</code></pre>
such that it can just `uplevel` the code. Or better yet I'd make `memoize` replace the `proc` keyword (or perhaps `memoize proc myMemoizingProcedure …`).<p>EDIT: I suppose memoizing makes no sense in a procedure that wants to use upvar or uplevel though, because memoizing only works for pure functions. | null | null | 41,791,875 | 41,791,875 | null | [

You can't. Because it's not callable. It's the same thing with the closure.<p>The only things that are testable are things on unrestricted scope. AKA global scope. Think about what happens if you have a "closure" on global scope.<p>If you really want to test it then your "unit tests" which typically live on global scope, need to be moved to local scope. That's just the rules of scope.<p>There is one special case here. If the parent function returns the local function as a value. But even in this case the parent and local function have to be treated as a unit. The unit test will involve first calling the parent, then calling the local. The parent and child function form a "unit" thanks to shared state and the parent is essentially "moving" the local function into global scope.<p>Generally best practice is to use combinators if you want to maximize the granularity in which you can modularize your logic. I would even argue that closures stradle the line between pure and impure, so I actually avoid closures whenever possible. | null | null | 41,793,838 | 41,758,371 | null | null | null | null |

Heck, it took me a few seconds to figure out what on earth was going on with the first 5 characters. :)<p>Your example would usually be typeset properly in a physical published book because it's done with professionals manually reviewing the typography.<p>Just throw it in the bucket of hyphens vs. minuses vs. dashes em and en, x's versus multiplication signs... our symbols are full of ambiguities, it's not just apostrophes. | null | null | 41,793,555 | 41,787,647 | null | [

41,793,945 | comment | bialpio | 2024-10-09T23:32:51 | null | You may want to revise the life expectancy estimate on a rice+beans diet, scurvy is a thing and based on my googling you would not get enough vit. C. I'm probably missing some other disease too, so "don't get sick" is probably also out the window on this diet.<p>One can of beans is ~400kcal and costs ~$1.30+tax in my closest QFC, so you need around $4 per day just for beans (3 cans). 5lb bag of rice (50 servings, 160kcal per serving) is $5.50, & you need 5 servings per day to reach 2000kcal, so +55¢. That's $135/mo just for rice and beans, and I have not checked if that satisfies daily protein intake needs.<p>Where will you set up your tent without getting arrested? Needs to be walkable from a Goodwill, otherwise you need transport once a year. How are you cooking the rice? Where are you getting the potable water from?<p>Decent sleeping bag is another $100.<p>Even your unserious response is underestimating the amount of money required. | null | null | 41,793,489 | 41,780,569 | null | [

As an added bonus it allows easily flagging non-UTC timestamps as errors on some level to make sure you don't get tangled up in time zones.<p>I think you're mixing rendering (and for that matter - time ordering) with the initial information providing, that is a precise data input that doesn't rely on anything external.<p>Postgres ALWAYS stores timestamps in UTC [1]. When you submit data for persistence from your application, you have a choice of either:<p>- informing the DB about the recorded location/offset at the point of persistence (even if it's the zero offset) so that the input conversion happens without any reliance on the underlying OS-level or configuration setting [2]<p>- or omitting that information and therefore 1) losing precision at the point of data input and 2) delegating the location/offset inference for the internal purpose of Postgres to the external global configuration: both side-effects are bad from consistency/reliability perspectives.<p>I've never seen a single application that would win anything from (2) compared to explicitly providing the offset of the observed moment, even if the entire business domain is in UTC at all times. In fact, I've seen many business applications that explicitly record the offset in a separate column next to the provided timestamps for any future analysis and retrieval. And it's partly by design of the underlying abstractions: the unix epoch is defined in terms of UTC too, so when you design your program around implicit UTC you are not gaining much - the offset information is still there, it's just your data types don't make it clearly visible to everyone. But the moment you start integrating your data with the real world that cares about global time ordering of your recorded data events, you get a whole bunch of silent mistakes and issues that you won't have enough data to fix reliably until you switch to explicit offsets in all timestamp evaluations.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.html#DATATYPE-DATETIME-INPUT-TIME-STAMPS" rel="nofollow">https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.ht...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-client.html#GUC-TIMEZONE" rel="nofollow">https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-clien...</a> | null | null | 41,792,513 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |

If you use client windows there are two options, first you can disable "anti-tamper" and then disable the defender services with the TrustedInstaller token, this takes a few tries and often does not work on modern versions of windows or while defender is running (you can do it by editing the registry from safe-mode or linux).<p>Another option is to enable "Smart App Control" this will permanently disable defender but you will only be able to run signed executables, and to turn it on you must have never run any unsigned executables in the past (or reformat your hard drive).<p>There's an app called DefenderControl that will disable it, as well, using various methods.<p>You can also install some other anti-virus software, but you can't make your own -- they need to be signed with a special key.<p>A fun bit of trivia: defender doesn't turn itself on until after the "out of box experience" is finished, under the rationale that users can't install any malware until they can use the computer. Thus you can run defender disabling scripts/programs from a customized installer without them getting nuked by defender. | null | null | 41,771,056 | 41,769,618 | null | null | null | null |

Add in TypeScript's the much needed story around retry / observability / error handling—I see why people lean into it.<p>Having experience with ZIO / FP in Scala, I'm a bit biased in seeing the value of Effect systems as a whole, but taking on the burden of explaining that mental model to team members and future maintainers is a big cost for most teams. | null | null | 41,791,545 | 41,764,163 | null | [

41,793,969 | comment | lifeisstillgood | 2024-10-09T23:36:18 | null | So there is a thing I notice but don’t fully understand. A good example is looking at job positions here in the UK - in the London commuter belt. You can see upwards of 150ukp on offer, commonly 90k. For London based jobs. But often you see jobs out in the commuter belt at around the 45 level. So that’s a double or tripling of the salary for a on hours train journey<p>Now I think of this as being like football (soccer!) teams. There is the division four league where the players are professional but often need a second job just to stay afloat - and there is the ridiculous heights of premier leagues<p>Players in the top of the game are not that much better - look at the stats and it’s maybe 10% more pass completion or shots on goal.<p>But the real issue is the teams - if a team is content in the fourth division, they don’t need to get a Saudi investor to bankroll millions so they can offer huge salaries.<p>They can offer low salaries knowing someone will turn up and only be 90% of the top rated ones.<p>I am not sure I understand why power laws work the way they do, a law firm needs hundreds of A players to service each client, a TV studio or football team only needs a handful because everyone watches the same show.<p>Is every business a SaaS business? Or are there businesses that can get 90% of the talent for 10% of the cost and make it work? | null | null | 41,792,055 | 41,792,055 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,974 | comment | pxc | 2024-10-09T23:36:55 | null | tl;dr: all kids need/deserve both choiceful and choiceless reading, regardless of skill or talent. Parents and teachers can and should assign kids choiceless reading that usefully challenges and/or tests them. But kids also deserve activities and rituals and games that encourage and reward them for choiceful reading, where their choices are not to be questioned.<p>I'm not sure how to read the question. I think freedom is one of the things that helps make reading attractive, and that stepping back and giving students/kids/whomever freedom in their reading choices can sometimes make even pretty surprising books <i>attractive enough</i> that people pick them up and read them.<p>But if I'm really committed to giving someone that space and freedom of choice, when they do choose something to read, that freedom includes freedom from the constraint of validation!<p>There are separate questions about whether or not someone's total literary diet is sufficient for their needs and goals. Parents (with respect to their kids), teachers (with respect to their students), and individuals (with respect to themselves) will likely formulate and answer those questions in different, if overlapping, ways.<p>One of the things my mom did that I'm very grateful for is rewarding me for reading without respect to my reading choices. She often did this with games where reading time or book reports could earn me screen time or points I could exchange for prizes, and that was really fun. For those games, <i>any</i> book would do.<p>Another thing she did to make reading a cite of freedom was suspend all household censorship rules when it came to books. There were no age-appropriateness checks for books like there were for TV and movies. And (sometimes?) if a movie I wanted to see was forbidden but it had a novelization, I could even get that restriction lifted by reading the novelization! (I used that to watch Godzilla. :D)<p>But incentives don't to be direct, external rewards like that, either. It could be quality time or an organized activity like 'choose any book, and we'll both read it and talk about our favorite parts', a informal little two-person book club.<p>Rewards can be weaved into a reading-adjaceng activity, too: I used to go to bookstores with my dad and we'd just sit in the book's coffee shop together. He'd get an Americano and I'd get one of whatever I wanted, and so trips to the bookstore meant a free coffee-themed milkshake at least. ;<p>Books can also be made into their own treats! On those bookstore trips soth my dad, when it was time to go, he'd offer me a deal: I'll buy you any one magazine. When I picked an expensive, imported Linux magazine, I felt like a winner— I was <i>gaming the system</i>. And since he'd only buy one, if I <i>finished</i> a magazine while sitting with him, that meant I got to take home one that was brand new to me instead of one I already started. That's practically a twofer!<p>When I was really lucky, he'd offer to buy a book instead. When the item I chose was expensive and his offer had been unconstrained, he'd always make a show of griping and balking, but he stuck to his word. And so he let me feel like I was <i>getting away with something</i> when my 'one book' was a fancy hardcover classic with golden-edged pages— even if the translation was from 1862 and I'd have to do some work to get through it. My dad's griping about prices kinda turned his offer into a game and the book itself into a treasured prize. :)<p>When I was little, my parents would also take me to the library often, and when they did, I was never restricted once I got there. Sometimes they took me to a specific event or activity. But afterwards and otherwise, I was on my own! I could play games on the library computers or just nap in a bean bag chair thw whole time, and that was fine. I <i>could</i> come home with books but I didn't have to. All of that helped to make the library a relaxing and fun place.<p>My examples so far were all outside of school, but allowing reading choices in school is necessary, too. One year in high school, my English class was presented with a pile of books, and told to each choose one to read and write about. One of my besties chose The Brothers Karamozov, and he <i>loved</i> it. He talked about it with me and all his other friends, sometimes making playful allusions to it by comparing classmates to characters or referring to them by the names of characters. That got some of us interested in it that book and its author, too. I ended up picking a Dostoevsky book, too (The Idiot, a blessedly thinner volume).<p>Assigning that same book to the whole class would probably have been a <i>disaster</i>. It definitely wouldn't have clicked with some of us, and it's long as fuck. I might've bitched about it myself! But in a context of freedom? The book was evidently perfectly choosable, rewarding for the student who chose it, and intriguing to at least some of his classmates. The freedom to choose is powerful.<p>That kind of freedom is something all learners deserve. And it's not surprising that in the absence of such freedom, students (of all skill levels) often shirk, cheat, or refuse to read what they're assigned. But that behavior doesn't necessarily indicate a general unwillingness or inability to read comparable books.<p>To try to kind of answer your question: not every book a kid reads will be their choice, and that's okay. Parents and teachers will want kids to read books that challenge them. They'll also want them to read books that help adults assess the kid's reading skills. For <i>those</i> purposes, there are probably some times that gifted and enthusiastic readers don't need any particular books prescribed to them at all. And for those purposes, there will be times when students (gifted or not) will be asked to do reading that feels like <i>work</i> to them. Maybe reading that feels like work will be more frequent for readers who are less advanced or less talented.<p>But both inside school and outside school, kids should be given opportunities to choose what they read, too. Sometimes that can be from s selection of prescribed options but imo sometimes their freedom of choice should be <i>absolute</i>. Whether they have a choice or not should always be clear (no take-backsies!). And when they <i>do</i> have a choice, their choices are sacred and not to be judged, regardless of how skilled or enthusiastic a reader they are. The only feedback they should get about their reading choices (if any) is some kind of sincere encouragement or congratulation. | null | null | 41,789,514 | 41,777,476 | null | [

41,793,978 | comment | slyall | 2024-10-09T23:37:59 | null | The problem is that so many job advertisements have typically listed the nice-to-haves as requirements. So people have been trained over the years to apply if they have most of the requirements.<p>Not saying it is impossible but you need to be very explicit and realistic in the language of the advertisement. | null | null | 41,791,858 | 41,790,585 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,981 | comment | almyk | 2024-10-09T23:38:07 | null | I think it is safer to have 2FA in your password manager than not using 2FA at all. Because even if they got your password, if they don't have access to your password manager they can't login.<p>If you protect your password manager with a yubikey or any other hardware key, then your 2FA inside your password manager is quite secure and convenient. But this is very individual, what your threat model is and how secure you want/need to be. | null | null | 41,793,681 | 41,792,500 | null | [

41,793,984 | comment | int_19h | 2024-10-09T23:38:54 | null | One thing that's nice about functions is that they force the associated block of code to be named, and for state that is specific to the function to be clearly separate from external state (closures aside). It would be good to be able to retain those advantages even in linear code that nevertheless has clear boundaries between different parts of it that would be nice to enforce or at least highlight, but without losing the readability of sequential execution.<p>To some extent you can have that in languages that let you create a named lambda with explicit captures and immediately invoke it, e.g. in C++:<p><pre><code> int g;
void doThisAndThat(int a, int b, int c) {
doThis: auto x = [&a, &b] {
...
}();
doThat: [&g, &c, &x] {
...
}();
}
</code></pre>
The syntax makes it kind of an eyesore though. Would be nice to have something specifically designed for this purpose. | null | null | 41,786,778 | 41,758,371 | null | null | null | null |

41,793,991 | comment | pembrook | 2024-10-09T23:39:34 | null | I don’t think you understand how Google ads work. Here’s a super common example:<p>- I sell red bowling shoes<p>- I pay Google for access to anyone searching for ‘red bowling shoes’<p>- Once they land on my site I know who came via the Google ad (via the URL params)<p>- A certain percentage converts, and I get their personal info and payment info<p>I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with that chain of events! It’s a win-win for both buyer and seller.<p>However, to argue that no data was sold is disingenuous at best. Google is the monopoly broker of the intent data on every buyer in the world.<p>Why should I let Google profit off of my thoughts/interests? Why shouldn’t I be making the money that the bowling shoe manufacturer paid to access my thoughts/interests? | null | null | 41,793,363 | 41,784,287 | null | [

41,793,999 | comment | cebert | 2024-10-09T23:40:52 | null | I wouldn’t worry about it too much.<p>I help with interviews frequently at my current employer. I and other interviewers don’t put much weight on GitHub activity during interviews. Some candidates eagerly share their GitHub profiles, but often the activity is made up of forks or minor cosmetic changes. If you’re active in the open-source community or have significant technical achievements, those are definitely worth highlighting, as they help build a public reputation.<p>As you’ve mentioned many employers don’t allow their employees contributions to be public or visible. Being employed and not having activity shouldn’t be a negative hiring symbol.<p>For most candidates, GitHub activity isn’t a crucial factor. Interviewers typically don’t have time to dive deeply into a candidate’s GitHub profile, especially when managing multiple interviews. It’s more important to focus on what directly showcases your skills and experience. | null | null | 41,793,822 | 41,793,822 | null | null | null | null |
