America is a much larger more cohesive market, which means specific communities have no affect on the national company which has expanded to other countries as well.

The individual nations in Europe are the size of individual American states, and can only be compared when talking about the European Single Market as a whole, which is new and filled with the vestiges of national companies that are just getting around to expanding into their neighboring countries.

The American experience has been removed from communities for a very long time that corporate apathy is the expected experience.
I have a question for the timezone crowd: why does the ISO 8601 format include a UTC offset like "+09:00" instead of a more useful region name like "Asia/Tokyo"[0]?

Take for example the timestamp "2025-07-20 13:30:00+09:00":

- If it was supposed to represent a meeting in Asia/Tokyo and that region changes offsets (DST or political reasons), we don't have enough information to update the timestamp because it could also have been Asia/Seoul or other.

- If a leap second is subtracted at 2025-07-20 13:30:01+09:00, we'll see that timestamp twice and it's now ambiguous which moment it refers to.

- If a leap second is added at 2025-07-20 13:29:59.9+09:00, we'll never see that timestamp and now it's not a valid moment anymore.

- Because of the regional offset changes and leap seconds between now and then, I can't reliably subtract that date from any other date to calculate durations.

I'm struggling to think of a situation where this timestamp format is the correct one.

Why don't we have "2025-07-20 13:30:00+09:00[Asia/Tokyo]" or even just "2025-07-20 13:30:00 [Asia/Tokyo]"?

Some early experiments with Ruby were beset by problems the VMs - Ruby MRI vs JRuby vs Rubinius etc ... We also had strange performance issues on JRuby, but not sure we ever really tracked it down.

In comparison getting Clojure running was easy. I felt so comfortable that I even tried emacs for a while (vim user) :P
The article points out that in fact you are talking with your inner self. You have been introduced to the concept of God and when turn to your inner self, you may instinctively give it a name.

As article points out, it can be also name of your spouse, but if you train your self, then perhaps it could be also be your name.

Also please mind that this connectedness may be created on other grounds than religion. For example between people speaking the same language or having other cultural similarities. For example during the concert of your favourite band.

Macintosh uses “⌘” as a command modifier key, not the Apple logo. The Apple II series used the Apple logo. The only reason Mac keyboards used to have the Apple logo on the command modifier keys is because Apple once made keyboards that worked on both the Mac and the Apple II GS.

I ... my childhood was fucking weird... I thankfully never dealt with malicious caregivers, but I know now that both of my parents were autistic and undiagnosed. My care was mostly severe neglect... I say it was bizarre, because I went to an expensive summer camp like $6k/yr if I remember correctly, but that was the only time I knew support and community as a child. Back at home, while my parents were millionaires (not anymore), I lived alone with my mom in a hoarding house with multiple holes in the roof and infested with both racoons and rats. So yeah... a distinct lack of socializing experience didn't help me.

Let me know if I can help with anything. I'm datafaucet on twitter http://twitter.com/datafaucet

"The part which is monad-specific is that Haskell's do-notation is hard-coded to the built-in Monad typeclass."

That's not quite true, at least in GHC. It's hard-coded to use (>>=) and fail, but the only thing that prevents you from defining your own is the name collision. With -XNoImplicitPrelude, you can (and they can even be locally scoped - I did some cute things with this once that I'd never want to see in production code...).
While I believe that it was just a screw-up that wasn't caught because of gaps of process (the code essentially repeats blocks with minor changes, so I can envision someone doing some refactoring -- removing the passing of the context -- and trying to save time by copying the first changed block to the second, failing to overwrite that single additional line), considering the possibility that it was intentional in no universe suggests that it was Apple the organization that chose and instituted the vulnerability.

A single employee receiving a second paycheck from a three-letter organization could have been responsible. A vulnerability could have been used to plant it. And so on. Remember when everyone was railing about Google giving NSA a backdoor (cue a thousand "don't be evil" cries) when in reality the NSA and friends were simply exploiting a weakness of Google's network. The net effect was the same.

It could be intentional and still entirely unintentional as far as Apple the company is concerned.

And to the open source thing -- it sat there for 18 months. Indeed, it was caught [EDIT: Actually I don't know how it was caught. I faintly recall someone posting an issue someone submitted to Apple detailing some weird behavior with invalid private keys, but can't find it now]

I don't want to spam anything here, but there are tons of agents you can find via google.

The registered address in HK can be provided by the agent. I'm not sure what else you mean by physical address.

You'll need to visit HK to open a bank account in case you need one in HK, but you could open a bank account in any other country as well if you can find a bank willing to do so (tough where I'm from).

1) Many times, yes. If we want to analyze things logically, oftentimes people just need a safe place to stay so that things are stolen from them/they can avoid drugs/they can tell an employer that they live somewhere in order to have a more stable life.

2) Even if they don't suddenly get their life together, that is looking at things too logically in my opinion. In my opinion, it is the moral thing to help out the needy, and that means providing housing. America's big enough to do it.
if your filesystem was copy on write and implemented snapshot semantics internally (like WAFL for example, over 20 years old now), then the second snapshot would not take 100MB, it would just cost the metadata.

A commit is a snapshot of a tree with a reference to it's prior ancestors. It's important to know that because it becomes extremely relevant when trying to do things like merges properly.
More importantly, China is still trying to jumpstart its own aviation juggernaut but is still using US suppliers, so it could very easily become an own goal.
How does the kid steer? Bikes need the front wheel to be pretty close to perpendicular with the ground. Tilted over, you'd just go in a tight circle forever, and trying to turn would lift you off the training wheel.
Regular expressions are useful as tools for searching through code, filtering logs, searching through the filesystem..., even if you never commit them into your codebase.
Actual experts today disagree with Paul Ekman -- the book I linked to in my root comment provides an extensive discussion of this.

Ekman was at the forefront of creating facial emotions expression research, but while I do believe he convincingly showed that there are basic instinctual, stereotypical, cross-cultural facial expressions, the field now generally accepts that FACS coding does not map reliably to emotions in real-life contexts.

In other words, just because a smile is a cross-cultural instinctual display of happiness does not mean a given individual who is happy will be smiling, or that a given individual who is smiling will be happy.

We don’t let the democratically elected government ban speech but unaccountable private corporations are free to censor.

My question was not a rhetorical device, it was a question -- I'm genuinely interested in the answer.
It doesn't make sense to me.

- A developer has no control if someone else decides to buy them fake reviews. That's why Apple could never punish a developer for fake reviews on their app, just like Twitter can't punish an account holder for fake followers. Otherwise you could remove any app by just buying them fake reviews and then "exposing" them on twitter and complaining to Apple.

- When apps ask for a rating, most users will tap a star rating and not bother to leave a review. On the other hand, angry users will be more likely to take the time to write a review. That's why for MOST APPS there are many ratings (usually more positive) and less reviews (usually more negative).

I appreciate the effort to "clean up" the app store, but how about the app that is in OPs twitter bio? It has similar reviews as the "scams" he is "exposing"!

I'm deeply honored you should say that. I have a lot of respect for Bellard.
It smells like data mining to me; instead of building their own safe browsing service, why not just defer to Google's services? I'm sure Apple pays Google for the service, and probably on a per request basis, so proxying and caching data will reduce their costs... In theory, I'm sure there's contractual obligations in place.

(from personal experience, we used a service in a project once to fetch stock market data. It was a good faith agreement, we had to maintain our own tallies of how often a stock price was fetched, tell them, and we'd be charged accordingly. This made sense because from them we just got a 20 mbit inbound pipeline of stock updates, which we fed into a Gemfire (which is now apparently called "VMware Tanzu™ GemFire®") cluster and exposed to end-users via a simple REST API. (It was a bank, of course we couldn't change firewall rules to allow websockets or whatever was available at the time).
It has happened to me -- you lose your work if it plugs out but the drive is nearly always recoverable. Think of it as a power outage.
I wonder, OP, if you've considered the idea that your not being a morning person ins't a bad thing? You see, I've been a nite owl since I was 8 years old. Unless I'm sick, drunk, or have been up more than 24 hours, I am never tired before 4 or 5 am. I've had job after job in my time that required me to be at the office early, and I needed to wake up at the last possible second or else, I'd go back to sleep. Finally, I realized that just like there are some people who are left-handed, people's sleep schedules can and do vary. So what I would do were I in your situation is instead of seeking to "cure" the fact you aren't a morning person, accept it and look for people like us, and jobs that don't require you to be at work before noon. They're out there, I guarantee you. Good luck, and welcome to the club.
RHEL actually was one of the later distros to adopt systemd, so that line of reasoning doesn't make much sense.

> Crucial system parts were pr'd into hard dependencies on systemd

Can you tell which crucial system parts you mean? The thing with udev was that it's hard/impossible to build without systemd, however there is no dependency on it. The other thing that is brought up in this context is gnome 3, but that was already covered in the interview.

> Would you like a self taught doctor over one with a degree?

The degree is for his/her own benefit. What I care about is whether the doctor is smart and well-informed.

No, I don't think that earning the right to use the suffix "M.D." means that the doctor is well-informed and knowledgeable.

You clearly do not understand economics.

When I enter into a trade, the amount of wealth I gain is my utility for the item I am purchasing. The amount of wealth I lose is my utility for what I'm giving away. This is true whether we are trading money for goods, or baseball cards for other baseball cards. Money is just a convenient item that people want which can easily be used to keep score. But since we each value the item at a different price than the trade, we can both become wealthier when we trade. It happens all the time. It happens every time I purchase an apple from the store that the shopkeeper was not willing to eat, but which I am.

Let's go back to your example. In your example the person who spent $80 and was willing to spend $100 winds up $20 off wealthier than they were before. That $20 can be traded for some other item of sufficiently higher value, so all the money is likely to remain in circulation.

There are other people for whom the item was only worth $90. They are now willing to buy it. And each one that does winds up $10 wealthier. That's new wealth spread around the world.

The seller, in your example Sony, now winds up benefiting less from each trade. But they still benefit. And they get new trades that they wouldn't have made before. They might or might not wind up wealthier at the new price point. But even if they become less wealthy, the world as a whole is more wealthy.

Incidentally the figures are bigger than you indicate. According to Sony's stock report for Oct-Dec 2000, they were making $175 in profit per PS2 sold. I believe that the Xbox got them to drop the retail price by over $100. At that point Sony was still making a handsome profit. Just less handsome than it had been. (And in truth they didn't have to drop it that much, I think they were trying to make the Xbox too expensive for Microsoft to stick it out. At that price point they made money and Microsoft lost money on every single console sold.)
Actually I haven't read much of Ryan's blog/comments to make any opinion about him. But I definitely know that edw519 makes many interesting, informative comments on hn. And if he believes in Ryan's judgement, so will I.

You'd probably be surprised. It does certainly take a bigger amount of dedication than I have, but David Beazley's been cycling through Chicago winters (until he cracked a rib earlier this month: https://twitter.com/dabeaz/status/570348015401050112 kept him off for almost a week: https://twitter.com/dabeaz/status/574891782498041857) as for too hot to ride, it's really a matter of good hydration (and physiology, some people can't handle heat at all, but that's cycling or not so they probably know themselves)

Of course, it is used for tracking. Fingerprinting and evercookies are the means to identify users, referers are one of the many things that you then track, assigned to those user identifiers.

Apart from that, inadvertently leaking information is easy with the HTTP referer.
2a. You get more opportunities to network. The more people you talk to, the more people you get to talk to. (The opposite is also true: if you don't network, eventually you will be sidelined and spend your life alone, lonely and shivering in your cube, not using whatever skills, talents, or assets that you might have spent the time developing.)

Then, either:

2b1. While networking, you find an opportunity to use the wonderful skills or talents that you have. Yay! Win!

or

2b2. People know you. People like you. Even if you have no particular skills, talents, or assets, you will be given responsibilities. If you don't screw them up and keep networking, you will be given more. Yay! Win!

I feel like this response has to be said every time this sort of thread comes up when someone discusses their unexpectedly large bill.

The worst case scenario is that the user configures their limits in a poor way then turns around and blames Amazon when something breaks in their project and Amazon points back at the limit. It would just be bad all around...so all in all, I think alerts are the best way to do this...
Now that's an interesting idea. Granted I have no idea how competitive/costly this market it, but I didn't think LOX was that expensive to begin with in comparison to other costs in aerospace.
I don't see the contradiction.

Let's say you are selling some good, 95% of which you are buying with USD, 5% is your profit. When someone purchase this good from you in bitcoins, you need to instantly convert 95% of the cost to USD. For this to happen you need to have a liquid exchange.

And because the number of bitcoins is limited, and the number of traders are going up, we see a steep increase of exchange rate.
3.85 in 313 seconds. Parallelograms were my worst with 19.5, 4.8 and 11.6 units off respectively. I had a couple perfects 0.0 which were on the line segments and splitting the angles. Also had a few under 1.0. I feel accomplished! Pretty fun little test.
