Surprisingly, I find the only substantial signal personalization uses is on your current location, and on results you have clicked before.

First, to add to the parent comment, you can install later versions of GCC on the x86 gcc2 builds as well. There is also a port of LLVM.

Second, not directly related to what changed with the ABI, but it I think it would be more hassle than it is worth to try and make newer versions of GCC emit compatible binaries. There is work to run Haiku GCC 2.95 libraries alongside binaries built with a newer version. The runtime loader would be responsible for picking the correct so files. This also would work on the x64 builds as well, similar to how Linux (and others) can load x86 programs on x64 OS's. This feature is close to working but there were some last minute issues found, so it was left out of the Beta.
Apropos to nothing, the headline reminded me of Monty Python's Meaning of Life rugby match between the students and the masters.

I would be pleased if you did not personally insult those who you are speaking to.

The lack of evidence is a farce, since any attempts to collect such evidence are met with stonewalling and refusal by democratically controlled local and state government.

In 2014, a study released by a team of professors from Old Dominion University and George Mason University estimated that approximately 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted In the 2008 presidential election. (Versus 56% of legal citizens voting)

As immigration reform becomes more and more of an issue, there is incentive for that 6.4 percent number to further increase, and indeed it may have in 2016, but that data is proving hard to pry loose. Since there are 11 million illegals in the US by the lowest estimate (high estimates are 20 million) this is not a non-problem.

As for the disenfranchisement canard. Even Nate Silver acknowledges it's non-validity. Silver has noted, this argument doesn’t make sense because the vast majority of adults in America hold some form of photo identification and states with voter ID laws offer qualifying documentation at minimal or no cost.

> We need to not require command-line proficiency.

Why? You also need a driving license to drive a car. There are a lot of problems in this world that have a certain internal complexity. You can't UX it away. And the command line is exactly that. It's actually not complex at all. It's so simple that a student can write one before graduating from college. And the learning you need to do to use it is actually learning to interact with a computer.

It's really harmful that people nowadays act like hard stuff wouldn't exist and having to interact with hard things would be discrimination. Hard stuff does exist and you need to get used to handle it or suffer never to be able to do anything.

Also email is actually one of the most simple communication protocols. It's so easy that you can manually read and write most of the stuff. You don't need anything fancy for it. A text editor is enough.

And while I think people don't need more than git and email or ssh, I'm all in favor of also implementing ActivityPub. One leg of stable distributed systems is the ability to use another transport if your preferred transport is not available.

> “Some students were driven to attempt suicide as a result, others broke down and simply vanished from science.”

It is hard to evaluate how much talent and how much suffering bullying causes. In every company I have been there had been some level of bullying. The result usually is that options were not discussed, people left or get depressed, long non-paid hours produced no real results as work was done in the wrong projects, etc... Bullying in school or politics has even worst consequences.

There is a lot of untapped potential in human society. Bullying has a high toll on society.

At this point it's pretty much impossible to read such articles and figure out whether there is an actual institutional problem.

You know that The Guardian will present anything they can as an issue that requires institutional change. That's just what they do these say. If you're willing to engage in willful confirmation bias, you can take any large institution and find enough disgruntled people to to build a "case".

I see nothing in this article about the authors trying to disprove their own hypothesis.

"The Guardian sent freedom of information requests to 135 universities. Responses revealed a total of 294 complaints against academics at 55 institutions. A further 30 universities reported 337 complaints against all staff – academic and non-academic. Across 105 universities, at least 184 staff have been disciplined and 32 dismissed for bullying since 2013."

Compared to the corporate world, that sounds incredibly low, actually.

Of course, these days any official statistic with inconveniently "good" numbers can be dismissed on the grounds that there are systematic attempts to cover things up and institutional pressure not to report incidents. But that in itself is often a form of confirmation bias.

It's actually equivalent to

if test; then
commit || revert
else
revert
fi

Or in another language:

try {
test
commit
} catch {
revert
}

This is because

test && commit

is evaluated, and the resulting value is the left side of

expr || revert

Not sure if that was intentional, but it's a very nice one liner assuming either your commit never fails, or your commit runs extra tests, and you want to revert if those fail.

I'm going to give some newer drivers the benefit of the doubt about how Uber works. I requested a driver from the airport once, and he didn't seem very sure how to navigate around the city. The GPS was a bit spotty going in and out at times, so he had to rely on memory. When he finally dropped me off, the fare kept going. He only stopped the fare when he arrived back at the airport. My guess is the new driver was doing airport runs thinking he would get the money for the whole route, from and to the airport.

Half my family grew up in the Soviet Union and tend to love Putin, so, though not the above commenter, I can definitely answer this if you're willing to take an analogy.

Yes, a leader can be corrupt and dictatorial, and yes, they can strong-arm many people. To somebody with strong morals and heavily deontological beliefs, they can look at that leader and say "How could anyone support such a person?". The answer is to look at a concept like Maslow's hierarchy of needs [1] and realize that the supporters are likely pursuing an entirely different stage of needs than you. When your kids are hungry and you have to work from sun-up until sun-down to keep the family fed, and somebody makes it easier for you and your family to survive and maybe even have extra money at the end of the week, none of the moral ideologies against corruption or dictatorship really matter to you. That's why Russians give Putin such a high approval rating; they don't deny that he's corrupt, they just don't care, because their lives have improved.

The same can be said of hopeful Trump supporters to a lesser extent, in fact, and linked is a fantastic analysis on that topic (the most fair and analytical one I've read) [2].

My point is: the above poster's mother wasn't apologizing for Nazis. She was likely saying that, as far as she could tell at that point in time, similar to my Russian family, her family's life had improved. I don't see how that becomes false in light of future events.

Yes. There's also the fact that institutions that would have violated Glass-Steagall, like JP Morgan Chase and USAA, came through the financial crisis better than pure investment banks.

And one of the tactics to help stop the crisis was to allow remaing investment banks to convert to bank holding companies that accept deposits--which would have also violated Glass-Steagall.

And that Europe didn't have a regulation like Glass-Steagall, yet the crisis didn't start in Europe, it started in the U.S.

Anyway ddg is doing the complete opposite, I feel like I can actually find anything if I use it properly (but like with any other tool you need to learn how). I have it set as the default on some my machines but it's clear I haven't been using even half of it's potential.

I've never wrote anywhere that you encourage that kind of behavior. There is a difference between encouraging and pretending that problem do not exist. Seems that you are just biased and what you are doing here is white washing a community you are part of.

And this are only two examples that I've found fast. Those are examples of things that you surely have read and aware of.
Another example is some Animats posts in some C++/Rust debate thread on HN in which he was describing his experience and technical details while criticizing Rust and was downvoted to hell.

Go’s GC is extremely low latency and you can pretty easily avoid allocating using the same techniques as you would in C++.
There are probably some challenges with upgrading their manufacturing systems to generate and print the codes out. Currently standard UPCs for a lot of products are pre-printed at a vendor with all the rest of the packaging (like for bags of chips, all the UPCs are already printed on rolls of film that are stored at a factory before they're filled). They'd have to change it so that this newer 'UPC' would be printed during manufacturing like a code date would be.

They'll probably start moving towards it; especially since it'll also give better control over getting feedback on product quality from consumers or communicating recalls. Right now, it's kind of cumbersome, because things that are coded with lots or manufacturing code dates aren't really that easy for consumers or retailers to use.
Aside from the legitimate cases, there's a lot of trash complaints that you get when you lower the bar for accusations...

I have tons of nostalgia for DOS having first used it in 1992. However, as soon as I used Linux in 1994, it was instantly apparent how backward and hard to use DOS was compared to Unix-like systems. With hardware like Raspberry Pis, not sure why anyone would want to use DOS on x86 for embedded purposes today.

This is very interesting insight. As a US citizen I often marvel at the apparently strongly principled value system of Japanese culture. Specifically, it's a sense of acting for 'the greater good' as opposed to acting for what I call the 'look at me' factor (which I find both repugnant yet rampant in the US today).

I wonder if it's these values that simply led to Japan letting the story take a natual course rather than wasting funds to pumping up a PR campaign. If so, I wish Japan all the best in being the first to tap into the virtually limitless space mining resources. They deserve it.

Apartments are going up like crazy in these cities, but they are mostly single and two bed room (roommate style), at least slightly upscale, apartments.

It is theoretically possible though, that if you find a usecase for a protocol that happened to be not used for a hundred years, that you implement it and then use it. Not even the document about the protocol is necessary if you remember it well enough.

And a part of the self-responsible philosophy is also that "there is no implementation" is not even an excuse. As long as there are free programming languages and affordable computers (I.e. a raspberry pi) then you can very well create your own implementation. It might take years to even start due to the requirements to learn programming, but it's not impossible at all.
