koshergweilo··on Edible insects role in transmission of parasitic diseases to humans (2019)
This is the justification for pork bans in the Jewish Kashrut as well. Also why a lot of people are pretty lax on the pork-eating part nowadays
koshergweilo··on Ask HN: Who is using C++ as the main language for new project?
I'm curious but what's motivating you to move from premake to cmake? Usually people seem to be happy with premake
koshergweilo··on Apple warns suppliers to follow China rules on 'Taiwan' labeling
> Pelosi was quite bold in her little stunt recently with Taiwan. She's willing to send our boys and girls to war for a political stunt is pretty disgusting

The only reason she went was because the US military deemed it safe to do so. No one wants a war right now.

> I wonder what she was really trying to accomplish.

Why not listen to her words?

"We must stand by Taiwan, which is an island of resilience. Taiwan is a leader in governance … . At the same time, Beijing is squeezing Taiwan economically, pressuring global corporations to cut ties with the island, intimidating countries that cooperate with Taiwan, and clamping down on tourism from the [mainland]. In the face of the Chinese Communist Party’s … accelerating aggression, our congressional delegation’s visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that America stands with Taiwan, our democratic partner, as it defends itself and its freedom."

koshergweilo··on Part of my code makes Copilot crash
You can criticize anyone. I wasn't making a comment on the criticizing part, I was commenting on the ~power~ ruling over you part

Man so many black, gay, transgender senators and congresspeople. Oh wait...
koshergweilo··on Show HN: Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid
This would make a great hacking mini game. I got my average of 12 down under a minute so it's definitely engaging.
koshergweilo··on I regret my website redesign
> There are some really good (free) AI logo generators out there you can use to generate logos very similar (perhaps even better) than this.

How have I never heard of these. Which ones are good though? I couldn't find any free ones

koshergweilo··on What I Miss About Working at Stripe
Serious question but do any of these people have families? If I regularly worked 15 hour days my wife would leave me without a second thought
koshergweilo··on What I learned trying to classify abortion access across the rich world
Florida yes, but you're missing the whole last portion of the article:

Tl;dr: Florida has more access than some of Europe, but Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas have more restrictions than pretty much all of Europe except for Poland.

"On the other hand, several states have banned abortion from conception, with only exceptions for the life of the woman (no exceptions for rape, incest, or lethal fetal abnormalities): Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. (For Texas, the law is currently held up in court.)

These laws are more restrictive than almost anywhere else in the rich world. Poland is similar, but is it “rich”?"

koshergweilo··on DRY is an over-rated programming principle?

  left_toppings = ["beef"]
  right_toppings = [] 
  make_pizza([left_toppings, 
  right_toppings])  # this will be a very funny pizza
Holy cow I was not expecting a none pizza with left beef reference in code form
koshergweilo··on The Sky Thief (2021)
A sad story. I was really hoping that he would figure out how to land.
koshergweilo··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
Yeah something like that came to my mind as well. Even if that is the case it seems a little odd to blame the news subreddit specifically and not their own poor decision-making. It's like if someone who panic sold during the covid scare blaming the news.
koshergweilo··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
> I made a terrible life changing mistake by reading too much of these subreddits.

I don't understand. How could you make a life-changing mistake by reading the news?

Also ads. Specifically more data to better target ads.
koshergweilo··on Deno raises $21M
I think they're trying to communicate that those are worst case latency numbers. You're correct in that formal use of Big O notation doesn't distinguish constants.
koshergweilo··on Deno raises $21M
I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure they're trying to communicate that these are worst case estimates. ~100 seems like it's communicating average case estimates (big theta notation), which isn't really the same thing
koshergweilo··on My 40-liter backpack travel guide
A quick Wikipedia search points to no
koshergweilo··on Show HN: A central bank simulator game with a realistic economic model
Cool game, but when shit hits the fan and production falls, everything seems to explode instantly, within a few turns. It would be nice to add some time controls so I can actually think about what to do.

Edit: while I'm asking for new features, two buttons with a step of .5 isn't enough to handle these deflationary spirals. Perhaps turn it into a slider with the step buttons.

Also some historical charts to show at the end of the game would be cool

koshergweilo··on The Fed has made a historic mistake on inflation
I don't see what that has to do with the current shortage as the main bottleneck is with refining oil, not extracting/transporting it
koshergweilo··on I don't want to go to Chel-C
He's really only a recognizable figure in the puzzle game space. Both of his games are highly esteemed, with The Witness in particular praised as "the dark souls of puzzle games." All this said, puzzle games are harder to design than to develop and IMHO his past success only qualifies him as a great designer rather than the general computing guru he proclaims himself to be.
koshergweilo··on “I think the vast majority of developers still debug using print() statements”
Shouldn't source maps take care of this in all but the production build
koshergweilo··on Amazon and the dystopian future of book censorship
This really another case of someone crying "censorship" when an automated process fails.
koshergweilo··on Programming in the Apocalypse
> dire predictions have been coming for decades (remember Al Gore)? And nothing.

And I suppose you think that's it's just a coincidence that we're breaking all-time-high temperature records year over year isn't it?

koshergweilo··on Finland will seek NATO membership immediately
I'm not surprised that it's happening but I am surprised that it's taken less than three months for this to turn from a rumor to reality
koshergweilo··on Meta Is Transferring Jest to the OpenJS Foundation
Depending on your stack vitest is pretty straightforward
koshergweilo··on Humanity’s broken risk perception is reversing global progress
> On the other hand, there have been regressions. Nuclear power was being built at a fast pace in the late seventies and early eighties. It's way slower now.

Counterpoint but I think one of the reasons for this is that wind and solar are lower-capital alternatives to building nuclear powerplants. Not spending the capital to maintain existing powerplants does seem like a regression to me though, so we're on the same page there.

koshergweilo··on Indian lawmaker arrested after tweet criticising Narendra Modi
Sure even the freest of speech is not free of consequences, but this seems to be a case of the state punishing a specific person for his speech. Partisan media is one thing but this seems to be something entirely different
koshergweilo··on Indian lawmaker arrested after tweet criticising Narendra Modi
That case seems more like defacto censorship vs dejure censorship. Both terrible but this article (and my question) focuses more on dejure censorship
koshergweilo··on Indian lawmaker arrested after tweet criticising Narendra Modi
I admit I'm not super familiar with India's freedom of speech, is this a backslide or has it always been like this?
