The question of continuity is an interesting one. There was a similar issue for the recent Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies, where some of Tolkien's languages are very fragmentary but there was a desire to have more invented speech.

David Salo is a Tolkien scholar who was brought onto the film team to help expand some of Tolkien's conlangs for use in the film. While his work isn't strictly "canonical," he did do a lot of serious work to make his additions fit into what fragments we have. His blog is a good read: https://midgardsmal.com/

Yes and I threw skepticism on your and other's skepticism. This is what the comments section is on HN for no? Generally a comment without research is ignorant. You would expect this kind of skepticism if you cannot find anything, but here we are.

What I really wanted to know is the performance difference in Postgre / MySQL, between 128GB of DRAM, with 1TB of SSD, 1TB of Optane via PCI-E, and Optane DIMM.
I don't make the decision to avoid them. I said that "I'm less inclined to deal with them". That's a very important distinction.
I'm confused because the example tokens were just more common crypto assets. Not real tokenized securities of real companies.

On the other hand you have companies like Liquifi who are tokenizing real private securities for any companies stock.
I'd expect as much--since you can't refuse service to someone for the stated reason of having the wrong skin colour or religion, you of course also can't refuse service without stating any reason at all. That rule doesn't exist just to protect consumers only from being discriminated to their face.

I'm kind of surprised that this is in the GDPR, I thought it had been part of consumer protection regulations for much longer. Maybe that was only in specific EU jurisdictions.

Sure, that was the justification, but when you literally can’t switch branches without waiting for a minute, I fail to see the benefit.

As I recall the developers authoring the custom git patches left the company around that time. I don’t know what happened after that. There was talk of moving to mercurial with facebooks patches, but I had already left.
Reading this thread makes me wonder if I live in the same universe as HN.

I'm amazed at the level of exquisiteness of the requirements of the HN crowd. I mean, I've been using computers all my life and used almost every Linux, Windows and OS X systems.

I do get that Macbook touchpads are god-tier and unrivaled so far by other hardware manufacturers. That being said, I rather have my old Lenovo x220 with an external mouse. No touchpad is as good as a decent external mouse (decent != expensive, mine is $30).

If you want to see an abysmal differences between touchpads, compare a Macbook one with the Lenovo's X220 touchpad. The X220 is the worst touchpad I've ever used, but it is still my main computer and I love it.

People talk about Mac's build quality, when I think they should be referring to its industrial design, which I get is very appealing to the senses. Now, the X220 has serious build quality. You couln't break it if you wanted to, and if you do break it, almost every part is < $100 on eBay and easy to repair.

My point is the following, and as other commenter said; I think people choose Macs before they like it better, it suits their image and are willing to pay their pricetag. I know people need to justify their choices as if Macs are the only objective solution that fits their use cases, but I find this hard to believe.

I understand that everyone has its valid reasons behinds every choice they make, but what bothers me (I know it shouldn't but who cares) is when that people bash on Linux and other hardware manufacturers just because they don't LIKE that OS/computer. I don't LIKE macOS/Macs and I don't them, that doesn't mean they are not good systems. I just CHOOSE to not use them because MY reasons.

Nowadays most systems offer more than acceptable user experiences out of the box, whether its a Linux/Windows/macOS box on whatever hardware. The thing is that people get really picky and justify their decisions by diminishing other manufacturers/systems. I believe people are afraid to say "I bought a Mac because I like them! f* you!"

I can give you a really good example of that. The languages created for FarCry Primal are based on Proto-Indo-European [1]. I didn't know that at the time I was playing the game, but the more I played the more I got captivated by those languages, since a lot of words sounded familiar. And indeed after doing the research I discovered that they are based on the real ancestor for Indo-European languages. Congrats to Ubisoft for pulling this off.

I am writing a book that also has its own language called Erksar, the language was once a simple modified caesar crypto where I map vocal with another vocal (as a software engineer, it was pretty easy to create translator for it). “I love you” would become “E rufa tu” (it should be “E rufa tui” but I modified the result and tried to remove unnecessary letter). Now that I lost the original character map, some new words is not generated via the translator, but adapted from existing language. E.g “Versila” is adaptation of “Universe”, it also has this unique words connector to refer to: of, on, in, at, from, to, the. E.g “vi Avaga vi Posphora” which means “from Avaga to Posphora”, how we know which one is from and which one is to is the grammar rule. From always used at the beginning, it is impossible to say “to Posphora from Avaga” because the grammar rule says so. The language keeps evolving as I continue writing the book.
Dang. I love this. I only remember preparing this intensely for grad school apppications but come to think of it the stakes are just as high if not higher at work + life.
> Under Windows 10 the new precision drivers are fantastic

So it would be reasonable to limit that new Linux driver to support only Windows Precision compatible touch-pads. It seems that variety of different touch-pad hardware is causing that problems with creating a good Linux driver.
> Server-side operations cost money. Client-side JavaScript is free.

This is a reasonable heuristic. OTOH when a page spins up fans in your laptop, or, worse, makes your browser unresponsive due to the amount of JavaScript executed, it's not as free as many users would like.

(I'm talking about the general principle, not the particular implementation.)
> If they've always paid $70/month for it, why would the entertainment companies settle for people paying less now?

In my case, I think it's even more stark: I've definitely wasted the odd hour hunting for something to watch, and, in the process, have become keenly aware of just how minuscule their library is right now.

They're building it back up with their private content, but, quite understandably, only in some very focused areas - presumably, the stuff that they expect to have the widest appeal. They originally built their business on basically owning the long tail, but now they've been forced to forsake it.

I think that's where a lot of the discontent is coming from. Folks are realizing that Netflix has turned into something very akin to the Blockbuster outlets that everyone had once cheered them for running out of town.

Yes, but given the context of the article, this did not seem to be an adequate representation of the other side. There is more to it than the idea of "a single true and authentic way to speak". I would say that a better way to frame it is "an organic coalescence into normative standards for better cooperation".
I don't think we can know for sure but the "outliers" may hint at hunting and gathering being more akin to genders in the sense of rolls distinct from biological sex. Like the sensationally reported "gay caveman". A similar concept exists with twospirits. Although women getting pregnant provides strategic reasons and better color and taste distinguishing would suggest a pro-gatherer bias for women worked out better or is just an accident of x-linked trait redundancy protecting against flaws there. Of course individual apitudes matter the most on a per individual basis. A colorblind woman distinguishing toxic from nontoxic plants would be at a disadvantage.

Evolution isn't goal oriented but the survival bias can shape things in a shockingly strategic way like with lactose tolerance trait/technically a mutation as seen on maps. Traditionally herdsmen regions have it higher and the swiss practically have it ubiquitously. Although with wandering there may be intelligent selection bias where the ones who would be sickened by dairy decide to risk going elsewhere.

Being able to let go of data is similarly just as important, being able to have control over an internally oriented structure that allows for this process of accepting, selecting, absorbing, checking, retaining, and rejecting information, this is important for survival period.

FWIW, in the Physically Based Rendering book, we also discuss data-oriented design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-oriented_design) as a potential alternative implementation approach, which would be the most natural non-OOP way to go about this.

As noted in other comments, this was a case where the pedagogical goals of the system outweighed maximizing performance.
By that logic, movies should just use existing props or set designs rather than creating any new artifacts.

Conlanging isn't just gibberish, it's a legitimate artform like anything else.

However, I don't have any issue with using real-world languages to give the desired exotic flair for certain settings. I actually think that was one of the things that was great about, for example, the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon, because it took the time to use real Chinese calligraphy as part of the worldbuilding (one of the many flaws with the film adaptation was that it tried to deemphasize the explicitly Chinese influences and ended up with pretty uninspired chicken-scratch fake-ideograms for the writing).

Similarly, the video game Riven: The Sequel to Myst had some cutscenes where the fantasy native population were actually speaking Tok Pisin, which is a creole language from Papua New Guinea. This was only fragmentary, though, and much of the Myst games have a quite well constructed language "D'ni."
Such a comment is what frightens me in today's uber-connected world of instant information. Don't get me wrong - I understand what you are saying and know the comment is genuine.

We have in French an expression "il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu" (there is not smoke without fire) which means that since a random person (Musk in that case) said a random thing (his tweet), there must be something behind.

In the past it was a village gossiping, worst case one could envision leaving and making his life somewhere else. Today, he is dead socially because "who knows".

Musk should be punished for such words. oit punished by a few millions because this is not going to teach him anything (beside the fact that having a lot of money is cool) but rather denying him for 5 or 10 years the possibility to communicate on Internet (à la Mitnick) and denying him the possibility to be a CEO/engineer. Just so that he understands how painful this can be.
I'm just honestly representing my subconscious reaction to not understanding people easily at times. Perhaps I should put more effort into it for more people. I definitely have plenty of relationships with non-native speakers. It just takes more time for me to acclimate to them, and therefore there is a greater cost to doing so.
This whole project started as a joke, and I still see it as such.

Are you talking about Cardano, Basic Attention Token, Stellar Lumens, Zcash and 0x mentioned in the article? These are not supposedly assets.

Traditional scrolling is consistent with the arrow keys, that is, moving your fingers down on the scroll wheel or the trackpad moves in the same direction as pressing the down arrow in the keyboard. (The arrow keys traditionally move a text cursor through the document, and the scrolling happens when it hits an edge; this is why they content scrolls in the opposite direction.)
For example, on the way to Ani our taxi driver stopped at a memorial at the side of the road and told us hundreds of Turks were killed by Armenians in various horrendous ways here. Never mind that the generally received version is pretty much the exact opposite! I kept my lip firmly buttoned.
This needs to be higher. Most of the comments appear to assume that this clears to way to everyone buying, holding, and selling these tokenized securities.

Exactly -- that was part of the mindset behind Weta when they were working on the Lord of the Rings movies. They rejected the attitude of avoiding detail "because no one would see it anyway," because putting in that detail would then open up flexibility in terms of what shots could actually be done, because there was the confidence that whatever they made would hold up.
> “Lawsuits have to ask for some kind of relief, be it monetary, injuctive, or both”

I’m only trying to talk about how we perceive people bringing complaints. I think you misunderstood and it’s my fault for choosing a needlessly complicated example to include.

I’m saying it should not matter whether a complaint is big, small, formal, or informal (that’s why I listed a range of possible situations when someone might have to bring a complaint). Across all those cases, the social norm of treating the person as if their complaint deserves to be considered should not be predicated on whether they offer a solution at the same time. (Which is different than any legal requirement or other non-norm aspect.)

In other words, your point about asking for specific types of relief in a legal complaint is not addressing whether people believe the party bringing the complaint is just being a whiner or something, which is all I ever wrote about.

Granted though, maybe I should have chosen a non-legal example, like complaining to a referee in a sports competition, to get the point across about the variety of situations without dragging in possible confusion over red herring legal specifics. Or maybe an example with an arbiter determining the relief, if any, in an employment dispute or something.

> “Remember, the OP is asking about how best to challenge trends.”

I was never responding to the OP, only the parent comment above mine that talked about using a rule of thumb of not bringing complaints, only solutions, and specifically mentioned it was heard in a corporate context. That combination of details seems appropriate for counterpoints that if a corporate environment codifies a culture that dissuades complaints by pressuring people to first have solutions in hand, it’s a very bad thing that will hurt marginalized people (and in a corporate setting that might even be the intended effect). Whether a local rule of thumb making the shy person feel unwelcome to point out a deficiency in some work artifact during a team meeting, or making someone feel they can’t talk about rude behavior of their desk neighbor because they don’t have a seating change proposal or they really like their seat already. The situations where people need to feel free to complain without proposing a solution are constant, pervasive, all around us, and often involve people we don’t consider or see because of biases or other blind spots.

> “Such a moral position doesn't invalidate the advice.”

I believe that is actually does explicitly invalidate the advice.

Obviously, others are free to agree or disagree with the moral point of view behind my comment (e.g. that policies which might discourage suffering people from expressing their suffering are wrong), and then choose for themselves which part of the advice they prefer. That’s why we’re discussing it in comments.

But that doesn’t invalidate my original disagreement of the parent comment, nor have any affect on the usefulness of me writing up counterpoint comments that express dissent to that proposed rule of thumb.

I would say that it's a nebulous and organic process that settles into particular pronunciations. One thing a lot of people don't realize is that the British accent is actually considerably more divergent from the one that was common to America and England in 1600 (I can't seem to find the source right now, but will edit if/when I do). I'm not saying that it's right, just that it happens and that there are valid reasons for it happening.
Definitely. I used to always get stuck on the parsing part, and it definitely is time consuming to get right, but once you get past it once it is much easier to tackle in the future.

Then you realize that parsing is only a small piece of making your own language!
Making a longer hash than 2 bytes would help selectivity, and filesystems are usually very good at finding files by name.

Also, apparently the files are not sorted by name (or I failed to see it). Searching in a sorted file using binary search is logarithmic, much faster than grepping which is linear.

Sorting can be done once, when the files are formed. BTW inserting into a sorted file should also be pretty fast (cheaper than appending and re-sorting).
