I get this perspective. But I also find the standards to be onerous. They were honestly fine until this one: > Contact the relevant local communities affected by the contributions Do I literally have to do new local community outreach ev

Perhaps because encoding &lt but not &gt makes the code significantly more confusing and less readable.

SDET is one of those things that you can never justify, but if you allow it to happen and the SDET is good it pays itself off several hundred times over

If you’re a layman investor just dump all of your shit in index funds. Even if you’re smart and sophisticated, you’re still competing against the massive amount of fraudulent insider trading happening right now with zero enforcement and are

I think the situation is slightly more nuanced than that. When the easiest path by far is long lived keys, there is something to be said about the security posture of a solution where those are the default behavior, especially if they don’t

This is a very long form way of saying “understand the work you are dispatching, and if you don’t, ask questions until you do”

Ah, the starry eyed lifecycle of project management. Every young project management tool, born out of the same concept of feeling like its predecessors were too complex. Next comes the growth and excitement phase. Then the new feature reque

I think, like everything with Nix, if you recite the correct incantation for configuration you can avoid this issue. But it’s not default behavior

I’ll just say as nix Darwin user the default vanilla install does not garbage collect well and every 2 months or so I have to hack around nuking shit in my system to free up space. Maybe NixOS itself is better managed and it’s an idiosyncra

Agree but I think it’s interesting to discuss the larger implication here. Nix the language and ecosystem has historically been completely unapproachable for people unwilling to beat their head against the wall continuously to figure it out

I mean, just the way Tao phrases these inqueries seems to imply a weighting towards an extremely abstract and high level rigorous corpus. In a way, prompt engineering really is the big unlock here.

1 year ago everyone would have called you insane for suggesting this. Now we all shrug and say yeah maybe we can do this and it’s actually a good idea?

I’ll go ahead and post the obligatory comment about how it’s a bit ridiculous that they didn’t include in the spec an easy way to quickly visually identify the capabilities of the cable (data vs power etc). Single biggest flaw of the spec i

You will never find anyone who is against these cameras saying that they don’t reduce crime. Of course they do. The problem is what you give up to have that is far, far more valuable and we can point to the “Ben Franklin” quote here about t

So the argument here is that people are too stupid to realize that they are being manipulated into being controlled, therefore it’s ok? Sit someone down, a normal average person, and explain to them the actual implications and then do you t

The thing is I think if you give people the choice between a 0.001% chance of getting murdered on the street or a 100% chance of being surveilled 24/7 you will find that people will take their chances with the murderers

Interesting, I get occasional glitches, mainly around placement of the text bar, but they are visual and don’t affect behavior. I’ve been living on the browser on iOS for about a year now and I enjoy it. I did eventually have to abandon the

I don’t think so. The colloquial usage exists as grandparent commenter describes. I can be a “songwriter” without literally writing the lyrics to my song down.

curious how hard it is to implement wire protocol compatibility vs the internal api surface. Are we talking like, an order of magnitude more work here? I wonder if, for example, Aurora team are literally maintaining forks of extensions for

Care to elaborate? The reasons are not obvious

Savage, I love it. Wouldn’t have thought of this tactic but enjoy so much that it’s hilariously effective

Well that clarification changes the meaning entirely of the title. Isn’t one of the HN guidelines to not editorialize titles?

Maybe their bribe wasn’t big enough?

Supporting Postgres is a good goal but honestly the real challenge is extensions. Would supporting Postgres wire compatibility guarantee any Postgres extension would also work? This is one of the problems with Aurora - it’s all well and goo

This question hinges on whether model advancement plateaus enough for machine sized models to compare to frontier performance. If it does, the answer is yes. If it doesn’t, the answer is no

There is a well funded US company that pays the same rate to everyone regardless of where they live (or at least did when I interviewed with them several years ago). Unfortunately when I received the offer it was too low to consider vs my o
