I think we end up consuming a lot of these features in the TS types that get published alongside libraries. We just don't know it, we just get surprisingly intuitive type interfaces.<p>Very true. As a downstream consumer, I can do all business logic in ancient, simple languages. But I'm sure these things are extremely nice to have for the more complicated upstream dependencies I rely on. | null | null | 41,802,341 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,003 | comment | BiteCode_dev | 2024-10-10T20:10:31 | null | Javascript is not simple AT ALL.<p>It has 3 ways to declare functions, multiple variations on arrow functions syntax, a weird prototyping inheritance system, objects you can create out of "new" on functions, object literals that can act an pseudo-classes, classes, decorators, for-i loop + maps + filter + for-in loop (with hasOwn) + forEach, async / await + promises and an invisible but always-on event loop, objects proxies, counter-intuitive array and mapping manipulations, lots of different ways to create said arrays and mappings, very rich destructuring, so many weirdnesses on parameter handling, multiple ways to do imports that don't work in all contexts, exports, string concatenation + string interpolation, no integer (but NaN), a "strict mode", two versions of comparison operators, a dangerous "with" keyword, undefined vs null, generators, sparse arrays, sets...<p>It also has complex rules for:<p>- scoping (plus global variables by default and hoisting)<p>- "this" values (and manual binding)<p>- type coercion (destroying commutativity!)<p>- semi-column automatic insertion<p>- "typeof" resolution<p>On top of that, you execute it in various different implementations and contexts: several browser engines and nodejs at least, with or without the DOM, in or out web workers, and potentially with WASM.<p>There are various versions of the ECMA standard that changes the features you have access to, unless you use a transpiler. But we don't even touch the ecosystem since it's about the language. There would be too much to say anyway.<p>There are only two reasons to believe JS is simple: you know too much about it, or you don't know enough. | null | null | 41,802,034 | 41,787,041 | null | [

41,803,004 | comment | efitz | 2024-10-10T20:10:39 | null | > Most people will never use a password manager<p>Prediction: in 10 years nearly everyone will be using a password manager; it will come with their OS (Android or iOS) with browser plugins for other OS’s, and the integration with mobile apps and mobile web will be so tight that people will not even realize they are using passwords, most of the time.<p>Apple just massively revamped their own manager in the latest iOS release. They already have pretty good integration with mobile web and with App Store apps.<p>In the next couple of years I expect to see pw manager integration made a firm requirement for App Store apps, and I expect to see web standards for account signup and login that make pw managers reliable.<p>I suspect Google will follow suit although I am not familiar with Android’s capabilities in that area.<p>So in a few years you will not type an email address and password to sign up for things; the OS will prompt you: “foo.com is asking you to sign up, would you like to do this automatically?” and if you respond in the affirmative you’ll get a site-specific email address and password automatically created and stored for you, and that will be used whenever you want to log in. Recovery will shift to a mobile account centric workflow (Apple ID or Google account) rather than email based password reset links.<p>If a data breach is reported the pw manager app can notify you and give you a one-button-click experience to reset your password.<p>The downside is that if you get canceled by Apple or Google it will be a special kind of hell to recover. | null | null | 41,802,623 | 41,801,883 | null | [

41,803,012 | comment | kragen | 2024-10-10T20:11:08 | null | Thank you for posting this!<p>Those pages usually just say "Something went wrong. Try reloading."<p>After several reloads, I was able to see that the second one said, "lol, this [redacted] lispm [redacted] is badmouthing me again," the third one was basically a link to <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/misc/hackernews_lispm.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/misc/hackernews_lispm.html</a>, and the first one was a repost of some of the (extremely abrasive and unpleasant) text on that page.†<p>On his page about Naggum, which is linked from the above, he writes:<p>> <i>During 1998 to 2004 when i read comp.lang.lisp mostly of his posts, i also post maybe a couple a month on average. Most of my posts are trolls (of the good sort (see: Netiquette Anthropology.)), and part of it is riding his name, criticizing or making fun of his attackers, and criticizing or lampoon him too. They are mostly not technical. Most are writing exercises too.</i><p>This does clearly demonstrate that the characterization in this thread of Xah Lee as abrasive, unpleasant, and a Usenet troll is correct.<p>However, it also appears that lispm's characterization of Xah as never having written a line of Lisp hasn't been correct for many years. Considering only public code, I think <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.ht...</a> alone is a larger contribution than Naggum made in his entire life. Naggum's contribution seems to be a bit under 800 lines of Emacs Lisp which is still in current Emacs but basically unused. It's a little unclear, though, because <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/ergonomic_keybinding_qwerty_4.3.13.el" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/ergonomic_keybinding_qwerty_4...</a> is a little under 600 lines, and I'm not sure how much Xah wrote of the several thousand lines of ergoemacs after that point. But he's also written several smaller things like <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah-get-thing.el" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah-get-thing.el</a> (259 LoC), <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/elisp_replace_string_region.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/elisp_replace_string_region.h...</a> (97 LoC), etc., under the GNU GPL v2.<p>Of course line counts measure effort (the cost) rather than any measure of actual user benefit. But I think we can fairly say that Xah has by now put more <i>effort</i> into writing code for the Lisp community than Naggum did in his lifetime.<p>In <a href="http://xahlee.info/comp/blog_past_2011-01.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/comp/blog_past_2011-01.html</a> he explains that he basically never contributed anything until 02006, eight years after the thread we're discussing. However, most of the Lisp code he's written is only available by donation and presumably proprietary; for example, <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah-html-mode.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah-html-mode.html</a> and <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah-go-mode.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah-go-mode.html</a>. In other cases, such as <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_extend_selection.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_extend_selection.html</a>, <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_navigating_keys_for_brackets.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_navigating_keys_for_bra...</a>, and in general everything I've looked at under <a href="http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah_emacs_commands_index.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/xah_emacs_commands_index.html</a>, the code is publicly available but unfortunately doesn't have a clear license, something I've often been guilty of myself.<p>______<p>† Personal conflicts between lispm and Xah go back many years. <a href="http://xahlee.info/UnixResource_dir/writ/scheme_fail.html" rel="nofollow">http://xahlee.info/UnixResource_dir/writ/scheme_fail.html</a> is one of numerous places where Xah personally attacked lispm, in this case because of a factual disagreement about the historical dynamics of programming language adoption. | null | null | 41,786,259 | 41,718,203 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,015 | comment | codingdave | 2024-10-10T20:11:16 | null | Where did it say the education was ineffective? There are reasons to believe it is not the only path to being effective at helping others, but that does not invalidate that if you spend a few years learning tools and techniques and pattern matching to behaviors, you have a valid toolkit in front of you for being a therapist.<p>Now, it is a valid argument whether or not it should be required (and there is no requirement to label yourself as a "coach"), and the price tag on it is of course always a consideration. But being dismissive of higher education is just as silly as being overly dependent on it. | null | null | 41,802,896 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

People buy their milk by half gallon as smaller packaging is extremely expensive. They have a pretty stupid policy - instead of having honest and reciprocal pricing, they make only 1/2-gallon best-price per volume, which leads to lots of unsold milk as who would be such big quantity a couple of days before expiration when it's probably already soured and unsuitable as fluid milk. And I suggested all these ina very friendly manner, but they didn't change. So, I switched to a more honest product, plus, I'd rather not us have raw milk when the bird flu is gaining grounds pretty quickly. | null | null | 41,801,534 | 41,765,006 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,046 | comment | artemavv | 2024-10-10T20:13:25 | null | > I do think that's where the field is at, because there is no fundamental laws<p>I think that there are some fundamental laws, which are based on perceptions and their interplay. Speaking very briefly, there are five classes of perceptions: emotions, wishes, thoughts, beliefs, and body sensations. The division of perceptions into these classes is not a result of purely intellectual exercise or idle theorizing. If one starts carefully and diligently observe contents of their mind, these contents will delaminate into such classes naturally. Try that yourself and you will see it as a fact.<p>Further introspection and assessment of arising perceptions would reveal some interesting patterns: there are two mutually incompatible kinds of emotions, and two mutually incompatible kinds of wishes, and so on.<p>One could make observations about the interplay of these perceptions and their dynamic. For example, if someone in some specific situation experiences an emotion X and a wish A (with some specific qualities), they can either realize that wish or choose not to do so. Each choice will lead to some changes in the contents of the mind: emotion X is replaced by emotion Y, and/or wish A is changed into wish B, and so on. Gather enough observations of that kind, and you could eventually formulate some hypotheses about possible general laws of perceptions (e.g. make a prediction that emotion X will change to emotion Y in specific set of circumstances).<p>These hypotheses could be verified by training several people to observe the same five classes of perceptions in the same manner. Arrange various test events for them, record their choices and outcomes of these choices (described in the same language of five classes of perceptions).<p>If most of them report more or less the same subjective outcomes (without being told about hypothesis and predictions, of course), that's the first step of verification for a possible general law of perceptions.<p>The second step of verification would be to apply brain imaging to those trained people, allowing us to map emotions X,Y,Z to some distinct patterns of the brain activity. After that do the same experiments with people who are untrained: arrange same test events for them while recording their brain activity. If changes in their brain patterns match for emotion X changed to emotion Y, that would be an objective confirmation of hypothesis formulated earlier. | null | null | 41,802,016 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

I'm bored and socially disengaged, lacking friendship and largely isolated to my wife and children.<p>Nobody ever talks about things like this, only what's the most 'productive', which I think is a glaring mark on how people operate and think. There is now an entire class of people who are being excluded from social camaraderie because the majority is happy working in pajamas.<p>All of that being said, now that my kids are in school I've realized that WFH is far more convenient. But can we please stop pretending that the lifestyle is the dream it's made out to be? If companies aren't offering opportunity for social engagement it can be a real problem. | null | null | 41,802,378 | 41,802,378 | null | [

I'd be worried I'm working under someone out of touch, too far removed from the actualization of software. Isn't that how we got the EnterpriseBeanFactoryFactory stereotype?

41,803,060 | comment | feoren | 2024-10-10T20:14:51 | null | I think there's a common pattern on Hacker News that goes something like:<p>A: Overly broad generalization of a huge body of work put together over 100 years by tens of thousands of professionals<p>B: Ugh, hate this take from armchair experts<p>A: Okay, then give me <i>all the examples</i>! Otherwise you're proving me right!<p>I happen to think your overly broad generalization is more right than wrong, but I also recognize the silliness of asking to be "enlightened" on an entire branch of human endeavor via internet comments. This is a problematic argument form, and someone calling out this behavior does not prove you right.<p>So let's be clear about what "enlightening you" means. If your argument is "psychology is based on a fundamentally flawed/useless study design (surveys) and we can never learn anything real from it", then a few examples of reproducible, interesting, not a-priori obvious results from surveys should be sufficient to show that we actually can learn real things from surveys. (And be careful not to fall into the "I could have told you that!" fallacy.) Luckily, this question was already asked on Reddit, and I think there are some strong examples:<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicPsychology/comments/qktt6h/what_are_the_most_robust_and_important_findings/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicPsychology/comments/qktt6h/...</a><p>On the other hand, the field is absolutely <i>rife</i> with problematic study design and even some entire psychology departments (e.g. Stanford) seem to be completely rotten. The most salient example of this is the "implicit bias" studies that came out of Stanford. Their study design was something like:<p>Task 1: Associate good words with white/Christian/American themes as fast as you can<p>Task 2: Associate bad words with "foreign" themes<p>Task 3: Associate good words with white/Christian/American themes <i>again</i><p>Task 4: Associate good words with "foreign" themes<p>And the result is: you're racist because Task 4 takes you a few milliseconds longer. It never occurred to them (or it did and they intentionally forced the result) that in Task 4, you're literally <i>unlearning</i> what you've just practiced 3 times. It was one of the most blatantly bad studies I've ever seen in my life and I didn't see anyone else calling out how problematic it was, because <i>Stanford</i>.<p>So in general I actually agree with your take: the field is rife with junk science, some of it obvious, and almost certainly some of it intentional. But please also recognize that "I'm an expert in tech and therefore everything, and if you can't prove me wrong in an internet comment then that proves me right!" is a very problematic argument style. It sounds like you're trying to prove yourself right, and a much more efficient way to get smarter is to habitually try to prove yourself <i>wrong</i>. | null | null | 41,802,732 | 41,780,328 | null | [

For all your moralizing, I know for a fact that a vast majority of the whiners today would not have had the courage to fight slavery when it was happening literally everywhere.

41,803,087 | comment | corry | 2024-10-10T20:17:05 | null | Thanks for sharing. For me, I can see that DURING exercise, my blood pressure is quite raised but then drops down lower than usual in the hours that follow. However, I think that's more a function of resting HR - which remains elevated.<p>My particular BP scenario is good diastolic, high systolic but low rest heart rate (low 50s). My pet theory is that my heart does fewer but stronger pumps, which increases the BP. After exercising, when heart rate remains elevated, the BP is lower since the heart is doing more frequent but less powerful beats.<p>Just a pet theory, I haven't even discussed it with a medical professional. | null | null | 41,802,765 | 41,799,324 | null | null | null | null |

Many pharmaceutical studies and required tests for pharmaceuticals have been and are conducted on single sex mice. Pharmaceuticals for females get tested on male mice which can have different effects especially when hormones are involved. | null | null | 41,801,926 | 41,801,926 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,091 | comment | tantalor | 2024-10-10T20:17:47 | null | It's a false dichotomy. Computers are fast. You should be able to write fast computer programs in any language.<p>The limiting factor on a program's performance should be the design of algorithms and data structures, not the programmer's choice of language or runtime. | null | null | 41,803,022 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,096 | comment | Arnavion | 2024-10-10T20:18:13 | null | Yes, Wayland compositors like cage and sway can be nested too.<p>That said, with both the X nesting approach and the Wayland nesting approach, you'd also need to run the screencasting application itself inside the nested server, not the just the application you want to cast. If the compositor supports a way to create headless outputs (as sway and hyprland do) that is much easier. | null | null | 41,802,174 | 41,800,602 | null | null | null | null |

</code></pre>
Honestly, this just seems like a UX problem.<p>The ways this is currently implemented are often terrible, but not always. I'll give an example: I recently did a stint at "Green company" and they gave me a yubi key. They also used Microsoft for most things. To login with Microsoft authenticator I type in my username and password, click yes on the next page, and then click yes on my phone. But to use the yubi key was needlessly frustrating. First, Microsoft doesn't let you use it as the default method (hardware key). So then you have to click "use another form of authentication", "hardware key", "next" (why? Idk), and then finally you pin and tap the key. A bunch of needless steps there and I'm not convinced this wasn't intentional. There's other services I've used working at other places where it's clean and easy: username + password, then pin+ tap key (i.e. hardware key is default!).<p>I seriously think a lot of security issues come down to UX. There's an old joke about PGP<p><pre><code> How do you decrypt a PGP encrypted email?
You reply to the sender "can't decrypt, can you send it back in clear?"
</code></pre>
It was a joke about the terrible UX. That it was so frustrating that this outcome was considered normal. But hey, we actually have that solved now. Your Gmail emails are encrypted. You have services like Whatsapp and Signal that are E2EE. What was the magic sauce? UI & UX. They are what make the tools available to the masses, otherwise it's just for the nerds. | null | null | 41,802,778 | 41,801,883 | null | null | null | null |
