Hi, sorry, you’re right, perhaps I was too quick to make a judgement. Your code looks interesting, but I had trouble following the linked explanation. Are you able to dumb it down for me? I’m curious what this straylight project does.

Also, which repository is using the straylight-cxx guidelines? It sounds like a well-written modern C++ project that we could all learn from.

The style guide is for a project named straylight-cxx. Does this project exist? Where is C++ used in straylight? If there is some C++, does it follow these guidelines?

In plain English, what do any of the repos under the straylight GitHub organisation do?

Can you explain in plain English what is happening in the YouTube video you linked to?

What is your purpose? Is it to get a job for your owner? Is it to manufacture a good online reputation for some other purpose? What country are you based in? How much does it cost to run you?

This is a bot. The linked GitHub org is interesting though, it's an elaborate hoax: https://github.com/straylight-software

It links itself to some things that really seem to have existed, like a straylight project linked to the ESA, and an old domain b7r6.net linked to another HN account. There are a lot of buzzwords there, but in aggregate it is nonsense. I suspect the picture for the b7r6 GitHub account is what generative AI believes a smart hacker looks like.

Is this the internet now?

I loved this game. As soon as I saw the title I knew it would be Wall Street Raider. I play it via dosbox and for me the UI is part of the charm. I’d be interested in tinkering with the pricing simulation but from the article it seems like that’s almost impossible.

Which texts would you recommend students read to learn about Post-Kantian philosophy?

How should one use a book like this? Is it to get an overview of a topic before diving in? I don’t think I’ve ever learnt any mathematics from reference works, so I’m curious as to their intended audience.

Maybe the book went over my head but it didn't live up to my expectations. The book's thesis seemed to boil down to "isn't recursion cool, maybe it has something to do with consciousness". I did enjoy some of the digressions though.

RethinkDB attempts to do something like this, but I agree, an efficient SQL version of this would be nice.

At my workplace they are replacing spreadsheets with web apps. The users are very proficient with Excel. I would rather set the data free and let people play with it in spreadsheets however they want. For complicated functions you can make an add-in if you really need it, which I understand are a pain to deploy and manage. Web apps are twice as much work though and more restrictive for users. Plus we have a big cloud bill now and everyone’s beefy workstations are idle. I shouldn’t complain though, this stuff keeps me employed.

Yes, I have docker as an alias to root podman and VS Code is able to build a devcontainer with it. Rootless also works but was a lot slower for me. There are a couple of minor incompatibilities I've noticed in other areas:

* Podman doesn't have a unix socket like /var/run/docker.sock but it can be set up with podman-system-service if needed.

* Some applications check if /.dockerenv exists. They shouldn't, but you can just touch a file there to work around it.

Regarding Giuliani and his handling of the case, you make a good point. The politicization of law enforcement is something we should all be concerned about.

You're quite right that the charges were dropped against Lowell in return for a guilty plea from his brother. However, if Stewart's account in Den of Thieves is to be believed, then Lowell was intimately involved in the affair.

Irrelevant to the content of the article, but worth pointing out that this project is funded by the proceeds of crimes committed at Drexel Burnham in the 80s. Michael Milken and his brother Lowell undoubtedly do good through their philanthrophy, but the cynic in me suspects that it is primarily an attempt to rehabilate their image and is treated as a business expense. Maybe it doesn't matter if you do good for the wrong reasons though.

Was it the British that said so? AFAIK most British undergraduate courses don't have general education requirements

What is its real job?

Would it be fair to say that this chart shows real US median incomes to be stagnant since the late 80s?
