Oh I'd guarantee it would. And the vast majority of those libraries will exist for backwards compatibility too. Much like with the CLI user land on Linux (GNU coreutils et al).

I think the real proof of the pudding is the footprint of a default desktop in Windows vs Ubuntu+. There was a time when Windows would literally consume one order of magnitude more disk space than Linux after a fresh install however I think things have since converged in the middle somewhat.

Going back on topic though, that looked a dev directory for Windows so would likely have contained a .git directory too. That would easily balloon the disk space used by any (mature) project's source.

+ I know you were talking about Debian, but I'm going with Ubuntu now because it's more of a desktop orientated distro and frankly it works better in Windows favour anyway due to it installing more software by default than Debian would.
Because you never notice all the other cars that do. They travel as fast as you, so their distance remains constant. You only notice cars going slower or faster than you.
You know that article was written to sell a feature in their bug tracker. I like Joel's writing but I'd take that piece with a pinch of salt.
Really? Facts are now subject to consensus agreement?

Double-plus goodthink, comrade!
Very much this. For example, remember the scandal about illicit adoptions of immigrant kids away from their parents, the one everyone on social media was comparing to kidnapping? If you check the dates, they all happened under Obama. The article was quite open about the fact that they only cared about this now as a way of attacking Trump, and it worked. Similarly, that big scandal about the government losing immigrant kids or placing them with traffickers? You guessed it, Obama-era stuff that was turned into an anti-Trump scandal. That heartwrenching photo of kids in cages which went viral until people realised it was from Obama's time in office? One local news outlet ran when it was actually news. One.

I'm mostly ambivalent to the censorship debate. What I mean by that is that I can see valid points on both sides.

Most Mastodon instances have pretty strict policies with regards to the speech that is allowed on them. Many instances block federation with other instances whose policies they don't agree with.

Other instances allow pretty much everything (they are usually called “free speech zones”). The result is what you would expect, and they end up being mostly blocked.

I'd argue that it works reasonably well for now (but it may of course change if the Fediverse grows further). Everybody is allowed to say what they want on the Fediverse, but others are not forced to listen to it.
I guess the self scanning stations we have in Europe are different, I've never had any of those problems here. The only minor annoyance here is if you're selected for a random check to verify that you've scanned everything.

In any case, that the particular implementation you've experienced sucks does not invalidate the concept.

Hi HN,

MLJAR is an automated machine learning platform. With mljar, you can train great machine learning models without coding. It works with binary classification and regression tasks. It can do hyperparameters tuning and model selection. The preprocessing to deal with missing values and categorical columns is available. All models trained in the service are by default deployed in the cloud and can be accessed be REST API or python or R APIs. User can also download a model and use it locally.

Right now it is offered as a SaaS. I'm working on the open source version. The AutoML engine is already open source https://github.com/mljar/mljar-supervised

I've compared mljar performance on binary classification tasks with auto-sklearn and H2O and it works very well https://github.com/mljar/automl_comparison

In the long term, I would like to connect machine learning with databases. User will be able to train machine learning models by writing a SQL query to database. After the best model is trained (with AutoML of course!), all new rows that will appear in the database will be used for computing predictions. But first I would like to create AutoML platform :)
for me this takes the fun out of C, however, it's pretty cool project full of neat tricks to learn form if you want to know what C can do or how to implement certain high level constructs in your own projects. good job!

I mean, I suppose this doesn't really have all that much to do with automated driving. But yes, I do support much greater liability for the people or entities that operate motor vehicles.

I think you should focus on civil penalties, not criminal. Criminal penalties for bad driving would not work in America, politically. Besides, higher insurance minimums help to make the cost of operating dangerous machinery around other people be born by the people who are choosing to operate that machinery. much greater insurance requirements and greater civil penalties will raise the cost of driving to include the cost of the injuries caused by driving

(right now, where I am, the insurance minimum is like a month or two of software engineer wages... so obviously, your insurance bill doesn't cover the likely cost if you actually injure or kill a person)

Of course, this would make driving a lot more expensive (well, it would shift the cost away from the people who are hit to the people who are choosing to drive these dangerous machines) and realistically would only work in urban areas where there is decent public transit. (Or maybe you could do something with geofencing insurance; you are a lot more likely to hit a person in an urban area, so maybe insurance in low-population areas would be cheaper, if you never drove in areas with a lot of other people?)

If anything, I think self-driving cars would make this slightly better, as the only sane way to insure them is for the company that created and maintained the self-driving system insure it, and that means there are deeper pockets behind the thing; deep enough to pay for the loss of a human life, or to repair a human.
If you want academic support for "if everyone else cheats and gets away with it, you'll have to cheat too" you might enjoy The Market for Lemons [1]

This argues that, if 50% of used cars are good and worth $8000, and 50% are bad and worth $4000, and customers can't tell them apart on the lot, the buyers' expected value is $6000 so the sellers of good cars will make a loss and go out of business. That in turn will reduce the buyers' expected value to $4000.

Obviously, that issue is specific to markets without seller reputations, reliable independent reviews, useful warranties, or effective consumer protection laws. Is Amazon Marketplace that way? You be the judge!

C++ seems to becoming like Fortran. The old joke is we don't know what language physicist will be using in the future, but we know it will be called Fortran.
I referred to both, actually. It's about whether I own my own presence on the network.

Of course, I'm not hosting my own server, so I am in some way in the hands of its administrator, just like I was in the hands of Google when I used G+. However, I can talk to him directly, which is a huge benefit. Also, if he decides to shut down the server, I can still join a different instance and reconnect with all the people I was following on the old server.
It's because in theory the IP could be revived with a new title, and you don't want the new title to have to compete with the historical version.

I'm not sure that's super likely with COH, but history is full of revivals of IP that looked long dead at some point.
Modern America was built on inter alia the acquisition of huge areas of land for nothing, the business practices of companies like Standard Oil, and the exploitation of immigrant workers in conditions only slighly above slavery.

> wealth of Britain in 1900

Similarly this was at peak Empire time period, when a vast British Army was marching across South Africa herding colonists into concentration camps. What part of the wealth of the Empire was really freely acquired in a mutually beneficial way?
At least this saved the engineers quite some amount of time.
It's good that the C919 and MC-21 have arrived to compete then. I just don't see how the catastrophic MCAS design could have been avoided with more competition...
I'd prefer to see 'trusted' sites being to use javascript only. Heck, even use javascript only after log in.

Alternatively, run them at an isolated context with no
websockets, limited access to timing (second or two precision - a lot sampling needed), limited CPU and memory utilization, no sound, no GPU acceleration [likely another large side channel surface], etc. Ahh yeah and delete all their cookies while we are at.

Javascript has turned to a total bloat

Using Phone Contact Book Apps for Digital Research
What worries me is that the mechanics of MAD may be approaching their end. With increasing space technology, perimeter defense against ICBMs have become feasible (albeit still very expensive). Thinking this forward a couple of decades, I think that defense may become cheaper than offense, even with multiple warheads per ICBM. In a way that's good, as nuclear annihilation might be averted, on ther other hand it could also lead to nations feeling cornered to strike first (before defense is built up sufficiently), and also we might be seeing a rebirth of conventional industrial warfare like in WW2.
Generally you just follow people, making accounts on each instance would be rather silly.
If you liked goim, then you'll definitely want to check out its replacement: https://github.com/BurntSushi/imdb-rename/

Well, this is some good advice.

Another nice trick if you're under time pressure is to arrange the project so that you can deliver it in stages that partially meet the requirements, or even deliver something non-functional that people can play with while they wait.

This can keep the sales team rolling or customers happy for a while, buying you some time to write the program properly.

As a bonus, you might get earlier feedback if you're going in the wrong direction, in which case less time wasted.

(Obviously this approach isn't always possible. Many problems won't decompose nicely.)
T-Koa: A Koa web app framework written in TypeScript
Not for running a normal business it isn't. A deposit would probably get rid of all the dropshippers, who are really just a form of arbitrage; I think that's probably necessary to get rid of the review chaos. People actually manufacturing their own goods ought to be able to find that kind of money.

However, if we're going to have deposits, there need to be absolutely clear rules on when they are forfeited, with a real, transparent dispute procedure.
It's the difference between specific and general monitoring.

The BBC can absolutely take an individual login to iPlayer that they think is suspicious, and have TV licensing determine if that address has a license.

But it is objectively true that you can type in any old nonsense into a BBC account registration and it does not validate it against the License Fee database - that's because moving to a general system of checking is not what that database would be collected for, and would probably not be found to be a proportionate or non-general monitoring and therefore cannot use that exemption.
This clearly shows the different priorities for Google and Mozilla, amid the current feud.

Mozilla is advocating towards a free and open internet, where the web standards are not dictated by the monetization strategies du-jour. Meaning that ads and tracking are not inherent to the internet itself, but serve a more corporate interest.

This is where Google comes in. It feels more like they consider the internet more of a platform for business growth and are no longer that unbiased.

As an example - I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they start pushing for adding product metadata to the HTML spec, say a <product> tag. This would essentially change some of the semantics of the standard. Maybe a more generalized version of this: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/product

Just my 2¢.
Honestly I feel like there should be more consumer protection - particularly extending to the server side of things. It doesn't seem particularly ethical to be able to kill off entire products just by unplugging the server.

I'm not asking company to maintain the server though, that would be unfair also.

> The world pulling its supply chain out of China would be the end of the Chinese economy.

I'm not so sure this is true. China has a huge domestic market, and even more potential to build it up more. It's also likely that in such a scenario, a whole block of nations would form, replacing some if not much of China's output with war efforts as it happens in a WW.

Let's just hope it never comes to this, really, for the sake of our daughters and sons if not ourselves.

A bit like the advertising industry, then? Which pays the (large) salaries of how many HN commenters, I wonder...
I ran a newspaper for a while, so this is how the business model goes:

reporters write stories. Those stories are judged on "traction" - how much interaction and general "buzz" they get. The more views, comments, shares, likes, etc, that a story gets, the better the journalist has done their job. Truth doesn't come into it. The best stories are the most controversial ones, because people share them more.

the paper gets paid for adverts and subscriptions. Adverts are viewed when people read stories. The stories that get the most views are controversial ones that people share.

All stories are passed through an editorial process. That process does things like correct typos and grammar mistakes, but it also edits for "punchiness" and potential engagement. It's very common for a "boring" story to get edited (or the journalist told to re-edit) to make it more interesting, more controversial, more engaging.

So by taking a fairly banal story of Jack Ma saying some obvious things, and editing it so that it appears that he's saying some outrageous things, the journalist gets the buzz they need, and the newspaper gets a bunch of "free" advert views when people share the story on social media.

No-one's lying - Jack Ma did say those things. The journalists involved can maintain a straight face while saying they're just reporting the truth. Meanwhile, everyone gets paid and they get another day in a very, very threatened industry. Jack Ma's pissed off, of course, but he's a billionaire, he can cope.

Dieselgate happened in spite of having tests executed by "independent" bodies, even if it certainly looks better, it is not fail safe either.

But it is harder to plead ignorance, incompetence or bad luck when you have purposely implemented a code that run only in test settings.

It seems this small success is indicative of a much larger failure - a failure for the greater educational system to do good to all equally who enter in. The system is rigged.
Why?!

All of lightedman's comments here are terrible, and they're just threatening to dox you here like some angsty edgelord, which is absolutely not acceptable. It deserves to be flagged, as does my response, to be honest. I shouldn't have fallen for the bait.

But still, anyone else would likely lose their vouching privileges for that.
On a personal level, just call down to your local school or your old school and ask how you can help, given your skillset. A tech person in particular has a lot of valuable skills, from evaluating educational platforms to assisting with the builds of organisational tools and processes. Not to mention the ability to tutor or present a class on a specific topic, or organise a visit to your office.

On a society level, encourage continued investment in education. I, like most people, had very strong views on how we should radically improve education, until I started working with schools on a daily basis. Then I realised that it's incredibly complex field where practicalities dominate. I realised that educators actually know far more about their field than I did (as a student/parent) and the best use of the rest of society time was not to get involved in the "How to educate" debate but support the people who understand the topic in whatever ways we can.

On the startup side of things, there are a huge number of ways technology can assist educators. Eg we run a financial platform for 100+ Indonesian schools, basically cleaning up and managing their payments & books. There are lots of "infrastructure" opportunities like this. Digitising internal processes eliminates bureaucracy, saves time and cost that can be then dedicated to education.
Cool!

It is similar to Jevons paradox in economy [0].

The cheaper or more efficient something is, the more it is acceptable to waste.

On a 8 bit microcontroller, you usually don't waste too much resources because you are really limited, on the other side of the spectrum you now have processing power on demand, so in a way it does not always make much sense to be as efficient as possible.
