I think they're both "negative parallelism" constructs. Either way, neither are new. The prose on https://mail.cyberneticforests.com/its-not-just-data-its-pos... changed how I thin…

Excited to see this get traction! Federated voting and comments on top of RSS has an indie-web elegance to it. Indulging in meta-commentary: The HN submit history for bubbles.town …

Absolutely! And the list.pop version is multiple orders of magnitude slower. But I took the prompt to be asking for in-place modification of the existing list. Comprehension does n…

Ahh I didn't see the full original prompt -- it's overflowing into a horz scroll for me. I thought it was the "critique loop" that injected the *args requirement. I guess garbage i…

Tangential (but topical in that "The threat is comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing" is also on the front page): Is the generated python code in the example…

Can you say more? Guile's the only scheme I've tried (attempts at packaging for Guix). Debugging has been difficult, but I figured it was me struggling with new tools and API. Does…

* I suspect many existing and reasonable regulations do not meet that "simply caught" classification. @rconti's comment above[1] gives some examples of regulations on process that …

> passing laws that only apply to people who volunteer to follow them That's a concerning lens to view regulations. Obviously true, but for all laws. Regulations don't apply to onl…

That looks demonstrative! For those that don't want to click, from Aug to Feb S&P is up 10%. "Software - Applications" is down 21%. But in this context, is Uber[9% weight, down ~4%…

Hopefully not too offtopic: why so much boilerplate? I see most would-be-boilerplate code refactored so the redundant bit becomes a small utility or library. But most of what I wri…

If looking for local email, why not a traditional client (thunderbird, claws, even outlook) or the more flexible/cli friendly maildir and notmuch? There are a bunch of front ends, …

do you share your top-24 anywhere?

What keyboard are you using? one where å Å ∆ F12 are easily accessible? Is there a good interface to (GUI?) openscad from termux?

https://freedoom.github.io/ does that for the still proprietary DOOM assets. Though the DOOM engine itself is open source, so a slight different situation than Command and Conquer.…

I would have thought supporting libcurl and libxml would also be in a company's self-interest. Is that companies do this for GPL'ed linux kernel but not BSD evidence that strong co…

Wealth generated on top of underpaid labor is a reoccurring theme -- and in this case maybe surprisingly exacerbated by LLMs. Would this be different if the underlying code had a v…

I can see "ill defined" causing problems. But isn't an explicit code of conduct more defined than none? (Assuming I'm reading that correctly from your comment.) There aren't too ma…

I'm curious if having JS makes the code more approachable for potential contributors or extension authors. And then if a project does "better" (measure utility to users? sustainabi…

I feel that pain! This comes up for me most often with running shoes. By the time the model shoe I've loved wears out, it'll be out of production and the n+1 iteration re-balanced …

I think that's a good take. Market pressure for durability decreases with brand awareness. Though I think the article argues there's little market pressure regardless. I'm also wor…

I didn't get the reference. For anyone else in my shoes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Mel

.8% is a bit misleading. Public Land is 37% (as of 1991) [1] of the state. The ADK park is state owned/managed and huge. Catskill region also has lots of public land. They're both …

I can't think of a more bloated way to communicate than putting a browser in the middle. For some quick numbers, compare web browser input latency to terminal [0] where one might r…
