This could really use more input/output examples in the readme to get a feel for what it would be like to use.
This is an obnoxious answer to a valid point.
Right? It's amazing to see what some people can accomplish with the same 24 hours a day we all get.
This is amazing. With a portable libc, that opens the door to make the rest of the stack portable and other languages.

I feel like pandoras box has been opened.
Not so sure about that. WSB buys a ridiculous amount of awards. Reddit might be willing to spend a little too keep them up.
Is it 15%?

I have no idea. They don't show up in my analytics...
UTF-8 is a great system, but all those dreadful code pages existed because they were under different technical constraints.

Windows machines in 1990s had several megabytes of main memory, and people could barely get it to support one East Asian language at a time, never mind multiple of them. No sane person would propose using three bytes per a Korean character when two would do - that would mean your word processor will die after adding 50 pages of document, while your competitor can do 75.

And even if you did have UTF-8, you wouldn't see those Thai characters anyway, because who would even have these fonts when your OS must fit in a handful of stacked floppies.

It took years before UTF-8 made technical sense for most users.
Automatic pricing is super common these days, even on more expensive things than books. I'm actually working on a startup called shopobot.com that wants to help people use the volatility to their advantage. We see rapid $50-100 swings on things like SLRs, so it's actually pretty significant.

Ironically our site is down right now because we're based on Amazon's web services. Karma? :)
Did that this afternoon - setting up a SIXXS subnet on my FritzBox 7390 home router, testing connectivity on the OSX hosts, and setting up AAAA records DNS. More details on en.blog.guylhem.net.

Of course I may have spend another couple of hours this week when I asked the tunnels, but this was first a good opportunity to learn.

I'm hosting my sites on Hurricane Electric, which is a big supporter of IPv6. All my computers have IPv6 support - even my DSL modem. The only missing link was I had not spend any time configuring it.

But tust being able to ssh from HE to my laptop or other device when I will forget it at home (which happens to me time to time), without having to setup port forwarding will save me more time that that. I know how much time I spend on port-forwarding.

Fixing issues once and for good just seems "better" - and even more when I get to learn something new that will become mainstream very soon with IPv4 exhaustion.
There's an add on to put the RSS button back. Check addons.mozilla.org.

Please file a bug about your crash.
Those sellers are counting on making money by shipping for less than the amount by which Amazon reimburses them. ($3.99 for a recent purchase of mine, while the postage was about $2.00.)
While for short time IPv6 does not make sense but in Longer term, this reluctance might backfire because world will start adopting IPv6.there is no other way

I suggest not to wait that long, go ahead & start testing what your IPv6 readiness is. taking example Deployment story of heise.de, dual stack can be implemented without causing much problems.

A perfect day to do this will be June 8, 2011 which is World IPv6 Day, also known as "Test Drive Day".[1]

Yeah, I was really turned off by the whiny "those Groupon customers sometimes come in and want to change their orders after they order!"

OK, so say "No, I already started making it" and done. Why he kept banging this point in that Groupon users were somehow trying to cheat him is beyond me.
I think I'm blind now...

(Sorry to be snarky, but my god man, change that color scheme...)
Not sure I understand the question - std::filesystem is 'just' a (mostly) cross-platform abstraction of files and directories, it doesn't know or deal with the concept of 'filesystem'. (maybe the problem is in terminology - 'filesystem' in std::filesystem doesn't have anything to do with 'filesystem' as in ext4, zfs etc.)
In my experience as a technical instructor -- who frequently has to introduce concepts like the HTML DOM to students who have a hard enough time with markup -- overly simplified metaphors can get over the "can't learn, too hard!" barrier that adults tend to put up when they're expected to learn something new. FWIW, I use the car metaphor, and as a class, we all break it down into simplified properties, methods and events.
Not for me. Mac OS X 10.10.1, Chrome 39.0.2171.95. I get the same code even in incognito mode.
Houses are linked to prosperity. I have doubts that children are overall linked to prosperity.
And that's the reason why UK rates are so low. Relatively few people meet the conditions of both wanting to move (for cultural or family reasons, say) and being able to move (visas being the main impediment here - as someone who considered it 15 years ago, moving to the US to work is no walk in the park).
Thinkerview: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQgWpmt02UtJkyO32HGUASQ

It's a French podcast covering a wide array of topics such as geopolitics, journalism, big tech, industrial espionage, economic warfare, etc.

I find it refreshing because the ideas and opinions discussed are very different compared to those you'd find in the usual anglophone media, and just that by itself is a ton of value.
"With regard to freedom of speech there are basically two positions: you defend it vigorously for views you hate, or you reject it and prefer Stalinist/fascist standards. It is unfortunate that it remains necessary to stress these simple truths." — Chomsky
Funny how no one minded when the highly politically-motivated billionaire Peter Thiel was (and still is) pouring enormous amounts of money into AI.

I'm more concerned about billionaires with an agenda than no-name researchers giving a talk on cyber-intersectionality.
That actually sounds like a software developer horror story. Like goosebumps for devs.
Fair enough. Steve Waldman described about this mentality pretty well here: https://www.interfluidity.com/v2/6287.html

This is not as divorced from property values as you believe. The features of suburbs you like such as low-crime (usually coded as "quiet"), amenities, good schools, access to jobs through a quick commute etc. are exactly what give them their high value. However, the single family home subdivision suburban form cannot scale provisioning these amenities to many people. That is exactly why suburbs are exclusionary whereas cities need not be.

Your suburb isn't going to have decreasing property values without disinvestment, at which point it won't be a nice place to live. The detached houses probably have little to do with what you like about your community; there are plenty of places in Central California with detaches homes, high crime, bad schools, etc.
Anecdotally, most effective managers have fired around 1 out of every 7-10 people they’ve ever managed.

That's a 10 to 14% hiring failure rate, which is absurd. In what other context would a failure rate that high be acceptable? Those sound like sweatshop numbers.
> empathy through conversation. "Let's have a talk"

why is it that clubhouse will do anything differently than what a FB post does? AKA devolve into mindless attacks in the comments sections about the way you look in your profile pic, your race/ethnicity, etc.

is the difference simply..because it's voice? i think it's naive to think this is some new mindblowing tech considering a few points: a. it's invite only b. it's populated by tech oriented people.

the only people that benefit from this are yuppies and already well off people. i want to hear opinions from the lower class too which i can guarantee are 100% not on clubhouse and are instead busy dealing with real life problems instead of talking about them on some VC backed app touted as the greatest revolution by mostly vapid social media sites (read: linkedin, producthunt, etc)

i realize its a pessimistic POV but at this point in my life and all my years in tech..i'm tired of hearing how some random social media app is going to change the world for the better again and again. but also, i would LOVE to be proved wrong one day.
Thinking this through a bit more: As I understand it, many published ML papers detail how to train a model, how to predict from the model, and sometimes code that represents a model that has been trained on data that can take new data and predict on it.

I wonder if there is an example of someone objecting to a paper that did not release the training data or software that can predict (aka just the algorithms).

The point I'm trying to get at is: it seems that most ethical objections are to the result of applying algorithms to ("bad") data, not the algorithms themselves.
HN doesn't allow to reply too deep in the tree of comments, so I continue here.

ZODB on which we base is ACID-complaint, so it cares about simultaneous writes. You either don't use cache, or get invalidation requests if you do (so that you have up-to-date tree if you want to update).

Though, it sounds like the ideal situation is when each user has his own private data, so there are not so many simultaneous writes into the same tree.
If you’ve visited India, you wouldn’t be surprised. Most women do stay home and take care of kids

And it’s really hard work btw, cooking and looking after the house and kids. They’re definitely not just “sitting home and drinking tea.”
It might be closer to a pro athlete retiring from playing and going into coaching, but not so many would be good in that role.
isn't this what's happening at FANG companies: the gatekeepers (i.e. people giving interviews) have an incentive to not let people in too easily? This limits the pool of employees, and since what's rare is expensive, makes insiders more valuable?

Also at FANG companies, interviewing feels (to me) like hazing that is unrelated to what the day-to-day job will be like. Some interviewers I had obviously had a very high opinion of themselves..
I am trying to get rid of WhatsApp. My strategy for this is: Use iMessage with friends in the Apple world. Convince the Android folks to start using Signal. Has been quite successful so far.
It's true the US has been promoting "freedom" throughout the world, but at the end of the day they should only care about their own citizens or interests.
Not forever but long enough. Note that they are involved in numerous regions economically and politically, placing different debt-traps. The one child policy is also removed. Automation is good, yet it is not as cheap as slavery. I don't see anything like you described will happen anytime soon without major changes of political powers, policies across the globe.
This is an idea that Cory Doctorow has also promoted at various points: that the increase in conspiracy theories are due to the increase in conspiracies, and people just don't know how to tell real conspiracies from fake one.

I agree that his/your position is worth considering, and I don't think it's that far off of the mark, but I also think it's kind of oversimplifying a tiny bit.

I think some people honestly get swept up in conspiracy theories out of pure mistake, but I've also seen people get pulled into conspiracy theories not out of some kind of rational mistake, but because those theories validate something that they want to be true, or because they offer a community that isn't otherwise available, or just because it feels good to think that every problem in the world is some specific person's fault. Jumping from general distrust of the world to full-on conspiracy is... well, it's a jump, not a simple step. I don't think everyone in QAnon is there just because they're not rational enough, I think there are multiple issues at play.

I suspect there is no single unified cause for conspiracy theories that we can point to, even though I do agree with people like Doctorow that actual rampant corruption in our institutions both isn't helping with the problem and is understated as a potential contributing factor.
My experience as well. I first got the itch when mysql lagged on postgis. Found so many features that have saved me so much time. More sensible defaults, too.

Please don't do this here.
> I spent about the past month learning rust

This is a red flag for your complains: Is VERY likely you believe Rust is wrong, when the fact the problem is that your code is not good.

I know this, my first 3 months starting Rust were thinking between "I'm a failure as developer" and "Rust is wrong" or "What? Why can't do this?". For first time after learning more than 12 languages I was truly in shock. And even, for second time in 20 years, picking a book and PAYING attention to it.

THE major problem with Rust is not, not even close, the borrow checker or that is picky. Is that Rust idioms are not OO idioms, not C/C++ idioms, not PHP idioms, no Java idioms.

Is fairly a simple language, actually, and the productivity is very high (today I code in Rust faster than python, that is still my benchmark on productivity).

What is NOT simple, is that it require several things to "click" and align properly to make the journey smooth.

And that it reveals how much other langs hide for your.

P.D: The problem you say, sometimes are true, but only at first, when the people are not fluent on the lang, or later, when doing seriously advanced stuff.

Not think I bashing you. This experience is common for many in the community, and even very strong developer get the weird experience with Rust. But also is true that when Rust "click" is very, very good!

P.D.2: I bet Rust is much harder the more experience a developer is and the more ingrained some ways are. I teach Rust to some newbies, and the experience for them is far smother.
By coincidence, I heard this at morning too:

"Give a man a mask and he will tell the truth" - Oscar Wilde
The lack of offering for good students is already a major issue at every step of the education system as it is, closing these classes is a major step backward and "fuck you" to good students (especially with such a lame justification).

If you have a rock in place of a brain there's always some program to keep you in the education system but at the other side of the spectrum if you reach the top 10% of students "that's it you won the game" and you're doomed to utter boredome until university. This is enormously demotivating.

I was in this situation all the way until university (consistantly achieving the best grade without putting any effort into it) and the lack of mental stimulation took a massive toll on my mental health, especially during high school but also middle school to a lesser extend.
Looking back at my scholarity I think it was mostly fine until age ~12 because until then school is mostly a fun daycare to meet friends so it's no big deal if the educational content is low or trivial, but then the next 7 years (which corresponds to middle and high school in my country) could have easily been compressed into 4 as far as I'm concerned. But the possibility to do it simply doesn't exist.
I've never used Erlang, but Cloud Haskell (http://haskell-distributed.github.io/) and Elm's hot-swapping (http://elm-lang.org/blog/Interactive-Programming.elm) seem to combine an ML-like type system with some of the features you list.
And that is why this is a parable—not a real story, and not intended to be read as one.
So his position seems to be that either these services should provide native clients for these platforms, or else they should expose APIs to let third-party developers create native clients.

That's still not a position I'm comfortable with. (I wish everybody exposed APIs to third-party clients, but I understand how hard that can be.) On the other hand, it's a lot more reasonable than unconditionally forcing devs to port their apps over.
It's actually pretty hard to unintentionally flag a comment because it takes two separate clicks. Flagging articles unintentionally is easier.
Correct. Where you do get progress, it's mostly an ideology thing: more politically progressive people view more support for biking and transit as good things even when they don't currently use those things themselves.
Yeah I couldn't believe my flagged profile. I really think a yes/no double confirm could prevent a lot of these.. also since it's such a rarely used feature I don't think anyone would mind confirming it.
> Unlimited paid sick leave?

Yep. And unlimited paid vacation, too.
> I don't think there's process beyond choosing to fight any suit brought against you and hoping you win in court.

Not true. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reexamination It's even easier today than a decade ago, though the Wikipedia article doesn't explain that aspect very well. (I wouldn't be able to explain it, either. I think it has to do with reduced ability for a patent owner to drag out review, including dragging it into court.) Probably not nearly easy enough, though.
Agreed. But the (alleged) criminal kept private keys on cloud AND used weak encryption. These are extremely silly mistakes.

They could have used bitwarden (or a password manager) and they would be good to go.

Also the best pursuers needs 6 years (2022 - 2016) to catch them. Plenty of time for the perps to take a lot of measures.
That’s a pretty crazy statement - I was typically on 4-5 meetings a day on Teams and it generally was pretty smooth for everyone. Including all hands with a lot of folks on. I thought their meeting software was easily the best part of an otherwise rickety app.

Guess that’s not everyone’s experience?
It's a no-brainer considering their work with NaCl and with pushing WebGL forward. It just shows that they actually believe in those products.
I used MagpieRSS in mefeedia.com, thanks for that :) Just think, it may have been dodgy, but my own code would have been much dodgier, so don't feel too bad :)
Google already has a social network, they just don't have a name or homepage for it (those are important). Presumably this would tie right into Profiles, Buzz, and Contacts.

Google can easily build a social network around Android, I'm not sure why they aren't going that route. They know who you contact most, they know how you contact them. They just need a private version of Buzz and integrate it into Contacts and they'd be a major threat to Facebook.
Well, Google didn't buy Wufoo; SurveyMonkey did. Based on my experience with the two companies, Wufoo seems to plain "get it" way more than SurveyMonkey does, and if I were a CxO of the latter company and if the company had some money or equity lying around, I would snap up Wufoo. There's a combination of technological cluefulness, design savvy, and customer-centric enthusiasm at Wufoo that would represent a danger to SurveyMonkey if not purchased and potentially a huge opportunity if the company were acquired and gently and intelligently nurtured.
I realized this is how it is at my current employer too. They have very strict processes around this to manage seniority. For example, I am currently at a lower title (level 2) than another developer on my team (level 3) who I spend at least half an hour a day managing and coaching. We have to be very diligent with code reviews for this person because there is a lot of stuff they miss. I feel like they would be a good fit for a junior (level 1). However, they've put in their five years and received their promotions and pay raises.

They have a lot of process tied to seniority. You can only get a title increase every few years and no more than one title at a time without a review all the way up to the VP. You can't ask for more vacation as it is formulaic and HR isn't interested in making exceptions.

This is definitely a company for those who like to keep their seat warm and then go home to their families in the evenings, all the while enjoying the job security and lack of autonomy.

Since my interview at Google didn't pan out, I'm working on a startup on the side to keep myself sane. In the mean time I reason it will be a good experience of what not to do.
I keep seeing this argument, from presumably 20-40something single men.
I ride outside a lot and indoors too.
1. trainers don't work if you have 7+ bikes in a household with differing drivetrains, even the ones that attach at the wheel.
2. watching people ride and sitting on a trainer is kind of boring
3. peloton content is pretty engaging (maybe not for you)
4. the subscription cost is not an impact to finances
I mean only for a few months haha
Is there some good go frontend lib/framework?
> by requiring that it presents credible evidence of weight commensurate with the impact of what it argues

The people saying various vaccines result in significantly better outcomes and shorter infections from SARS have millions of man-hours of testing and evidence backing that up. Anyone can watch a boat come up over the horizon with the top visible and reproducibly verify the earth is, at the very least, curved. That's the opposite of "I know it when I see it."

Arguing over favorite colors has no material impact on anyone. Loudly proclaiming incendiary medical statements on public forums very obviously has had massive impact, and if you can't back it up, that's misinformation even if by astronomical luck it's accidentally correct.

This is exactly why professionals and other serious people give measured, complex answers to questions that don't translate well to in-group signaling grifter gear, and exactly why we need some sort of brakes on the countervailing screeching of slogans on the other side because that train zooms out of the station and picks up idiot passengers left and right before the people who know what they're talking about can finish a sentence. This isn't hypothetical. We've been watching it happen for decades.
Yeah good catch

An M2 mini is a day one purchase for me. I have been so thoroughly impressed with my M1 mini.
? As in Worldle itself (except in hard mode), you don't need to match what you've deduced already . So, your second line could have been some equation with (most of) the digits 3,4,5,7,9 (and whatever you need to make it an equation). The colour of those then would have told you all you need to know to win.
Since most iPad users utilize cases, it's pretty much the same three steps to mute as it is now to lock orientation. Given that mute make sense for a physical switch because it's a function relevant to an off iPad, it wins out.
There is a lot of nonsense in this piece, and a lot of nonsense out of Blackberry.

But the one thing you can't criticize them for is "lack of innovation over the past few years". I have a Blackberry Passport and it is very innovative, it does stuff nothing else does and wows people when they see it. Of course it has its faults as well, and Blackberry is a lot more than one product.. but I would be more careful in my choice of criticism.
