It's not necessarily just about wanting to see someone executed. Which is worse:
- Executing people in a way that makes us not have to think about it as a society, or only think about it in passing
- Executing people in our faces, so we have to think about it
Personally I find the first option gross. "Out of sight, out of mind"--you know what I mean?
Why the downvotes? After AI takes our jobs, all of us technical people are going to have to resort to hunting and gathering, which puts us in the crosshairs of the Amish. It makes perfect sense.
I think the contraceptive affect is stronger if the mother nurses on demand, i.e. through the night
Discussions about the Epstein files is an obvious example

Here's another example (this from Europe) of a story that probably originates 100,000 years ago:
https://www.iflscience.com/an-ancient-human-story-about-the-...TLDR: the story is about a constellation that is seven sisters, but one is hiding; and that constellation does indeed have seven stars, but one hasn't been visible for 100k years.
Political campaigns spend enormous amounts of money on ads to influence public opinion. That makes politicians beholden to their donors. Which subverts democracy from "the will of the people" to "the will of the wealthy". All of these are uncontroversial facts and fit the narrative GP is saying.
True! But, you wouldn't just need SRV support in browsers--you'd need it in every part of your dev environment / stack that touches the network. If your backend talks to a database, then your backend needs to support SRV. So you need SRV support in your standard library and your browser.
But at a larger level this tool just makes everything work so smoothly. If you have two services with the same name, it pops up a notification in the tray. If you start a new process with a different name, you don't have to configure SRV; the DNS just becomes available automatically. HTTPS is auto configured. That sort of thing.
I think somebody could one day make something like this that was based on SRV, but it would still need all those niceties to make it work well for developers.

Hi HN,Recently I wasted several hours wrangling my dev environment only to find out that the browser frontend was talking to the wrong version of the backend. This got me thinking--why on earth are we still using simple numbers to describe which process to connect to? Why not use names instead? I thought of all the times a program wouldn't start because of port conflicts. The more I thought...
Without temporary monopolies granted by patents, those prescription medications wouldn’t exist in the first place.
But doesn’t that mean that there must be life elsewhere? I.e. those Lego blocks must have come from a complete set somewhere else, right?
How is this supposed to make me agree with Kushner?
I have a first responder friend who helped a guy who wanted to have sex with his cousin, but she wouldn’t unless he got a circumcision, so he chopped his dick off. I personally think he was not using it the way it was meant to be used at two distinct levels:
- you shouldn’t have sex with relatives
- you shouldn’t chop your dick off
The emergency room doctors sewed it back on. Not sure what to think about that.
It sounds like gp is saying non Africans are more narcissistic than Africans. So yeah that needs a citation (or clarification)
Just say something that would violate AI safety. Then you can be sure they’re a real human.
“Auntie, it’s me! N*** k** f**! X is really a man! ** did 9/11!”
“Oh it really is you Johnny!”
We’re all going to have to start communicating this way. Best of luck.
I offer consulting services on the side to help professionals hone these skills. $250 / hour.
Epstein represented the Rothschildes, the family that founded Israel. His girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell is a Mossad asset. Separating Trump’s influence by Epstein from Trump’s influence by Israel isn’t possible. The two are intertwined.
No, that’s exactly what it is
> There is now a DataFrame.Typed API that tracks the entire schema of the dataframe - column names, misapplied operations etc are now compile time failures and you can easily move between exploratory and pipeline work.
This makes complex dashboards so much easier to build, because in Python you have to test everything in the dashboard to make sure a change to a common dataset didn’t break anything.
Is there a good web dashboard library like streamlit for Haskell I wonder?
This behavior makes sense for Zelensky, who is strongly pro-Israel, but I don’t think this is in Ukraine’s best interest. I really hate how many people have died in the Russia-Ukraine war and this will only serve to lengthen it. Imagine getting drafted to go fight Iran.
Imagine if you could physical disconnect your country from the internet, then drop malware like this on everyone else.
How do you square that with Germany’s miraculous economic recovery pre WII? Obviously they were doing something right. It took every other major power on the planet to take them down.
Exactly. Trump is a populist. He backs down on issues he finds are unpopular. But he’s doubling down in his pro-Zionist, pro-Israel, anti-Iran stances. When a populist stops doing what is popular, they are revealing their core values—or in this case, he’s revealing who owns him.
.NET standard isn’t the biggest issue with making source generators. You can’t add dependencies to your project, which is an absolutely huge oversight IMO.
This is a good summary of the problem with rust I think:
> Pretty much all UI can be modeled as a tree–or more abstractly as a graph. A tree is a natural way to model UI: it makes it easy to compose different components together to build something that is visually complicated. It’s also been one of most common ways to model UI programming since at least the existence of HTML, if not earlier.
> UI in Rust is difficult because it's hard to share data across this component tree without inheritance. Additionally, in a normal UI framework there are all sorts of spots where you need to mutate the element tree, but because of Rust’s mutability rules, this "alter the tree however you want" approach doesn't work.[1]

Yes because the alternative is extinction, any price is worth avoiding that
Seems like SCIP would be a better fit, although not as widely supported by languages I suppose.
I really enjoy Junie, I find it working better out of the box than Claude code. I do wish they integrated their amazing refactoring tools into it though.
Zionist Jews wield a lot of political power in the US. It’s difficult/impossible to get elected at the federal level if you don’t support Israel.
Supporting Israel is valuable to Trump because many of his donors are these Zionist Jews.
