Congratulations to the magit peeps for the release!

I always wanted to try magit, but I never learned emacs. Gitu is an amazing alternative that is inspired by magit and works with arrow-keys/vim motions: https://github.com/altsem/gitu

after eyechatting with 5 people:

* all people had brown eyes

* all went for funny looks immediately

* 3 of them were shocked and left

aren’t the NSA documents snowden leaked a complete rebuttal of your comment?

absolutely cool stuff!

if we hackers have an aesthetic, it’s ascii and demo scene. truly beautiful things we can be proud of

i’d like to add a counter point to your classification, respectfully: i felt like the comment implies that morality can be subjective (mainstream), but ethics is objective.

my point would be ethics is also subjective, and thus morality and ethics can be used interchangeably. in german, they are! (Ethik und Moral/Moralität)

the article mentions it

:wave: see ya around

you can have both! https://spritely.institute/hoot/

i mean this with absolute adoration for what you've created: it reminds me of avatar - legends of the arena [0].

one of my absolute favorite games of my childhood :')

i encourage the readers of this comment thread to check out the spritely institute, especially it's blog [0].

i don't wanna spoil what it's all about, but i ensure you it's a topic (and institute!) worth diving into. i poured 10h+ just reading the blog and all the related links and projects :)

also beautiful feature of nested comment threads, like this very orange site :)

1.) The artist is a she [0]

2.) Almost every new technological idea starts with a worse product than the older technology. It's clearly not meant to be a product, but a conversation starter on how we interact with screens in and outside of daylight. I consider this problem not to be solved and would love to see more art projects (and ultimately, products)

DSPy is the best tool for optimizing prompts [0]: https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy

Think of it as a meta-prompt optimizer, it uses a LLM to optimize your prompts, to optimize your LLM.

Spatial audio is actually an Apple device feature, not (only) a marketing term.

re: nix-darwin — can be thought of emulation of nixOs for the mac. Pros of nixOs (reproducible, declarative etc.) for development on macOS

Kareem is always modest, a lovely human. His article of LeBron taking over his scoring record is a great showcase of this: https://kareem.substack.com/p/what-i-think-about-lebron-brea...

I’d like to start a discussion: Regardless of what OpenAI would have written in this announcement, they would have received snickering and ridicule on HN.

This, however, just solidifies them as the current authority on LLMs. OpenAI interested and investing in alignment is a net good, no matter your stance on their policies.

Calling carpenters wood engineers is pretty much warranted. There should be no engineering police that determines which jobs are allowed to carry the prestigious engineer title. Software engineering was also ridiculed for the longest time by “real” mechanical engineers.

They are not. Attributes are metadata that can reflected/accessed at runtime: https://php.watch/versions/8.0/attributes

How did you come to that conclusion? Seems like a pretty tame post and submission history.

always embrace the idea, never embrace the people. Eid Mubarak!

This is a accurate reflection of biases of humans in general. A good story trumps truth.

“The fact that you're making a comment about how your Christianity makes you feel outcast probably means you feel compelled to push those beliefs onto others”

Rather seems like you’re reaching to push your opinions to others. The logical conclusion you took out of that outcast comment is crazy.

Do you mean big red and not big blue with that statement?

Also, this reads as unnecessary snide. Having a language that makes it easy to onboard new people is a major strength. A lot of Golangs success is attributed to that strength of the language.

The Elixir community has good internal (and official!) tooling around libraries and documentation. I would say it's a positive feedback loop. The nice community resources attract good programmers, good programmers make nice community resources.

I see!

Your story hits home for me. It's interesting to see how the social integration of migrants is judged in middle Europe. People with a Greek and Italian descent share cultural similarities with people of Turkish descent. However, they often have a brighter hue than middle-eastern people. It appears that this fact is critical in how they are treated/thought-of/questioned.

Just like the story you just told, looking “white/western” is more important than sharing the cultural values of the country you live in. I apologize for the stupid “white” and “western” terms everyone, I couldn't put better words to such a fickle concept. I also apologize for the overgeneralization, I love Germany and the wider German society.

Important to note that German is a very tricky language to speak fluently. In this case, fluently meaning no grammatical errors. Also important to note is that Germans are uptight about sentence structures being flawless.

Of all the countries I lived/visited (US, England, Turkey), the Germans are most uptight about people speaking their language correctly. I have heard similar stories about France, but I don't know first-hand.

The complexity of the German language combined with the expected level of competency lead to non-native speakers being thought of as less competent or not integrated enough for the German society.

I agree that the article did not talk about racism, or at least discrimination enough. I am a german citizen of Turkish descent and work in IT. I am a native German speaker as I was born and raised in Germany. However, I had to endure countless of sublimely racist comments in many job interviews, ranging from asking where my parents came from to openly asking if I was “like one of the a-social (read: thrashy/criminal) turks”.

Even though the demand for workers in IT is high, people like me still face discrimination. I wouldn’t want to know how it is for people who don’t speak German on a native level.

Whenever I mentioned this to Germans with a brighter hue than me, they all chalk it up to some bad apples being racist. That is not the reality a lot of middle-eastern/brown looking people deal with. It impacts our day-to-day.

There's however a huge difference in what's being actually prescribed and what's not. Anti-Depressants and strong pain medication isn't as easy to get as in the us as in Germany.

How Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't: https://faultlore.com/blah/swift-abi/

Many programming languages list Swift as inspiration: https://www.val-lang.dev/

Rust's optional bindings are inspired by swift: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html (Many people who worked on Rust also worked on Swift, like the creator of rust)

The SwiftUI framework you mentioned uses inspiring syntax, which has been tried do be emulated (Jetpack Compose, Druid). However, nobody got it as magical as Swift did. The way SwiftUI Syntax combines pl theory and developer usability is amazing.
