There's different ways to re-write though. I tend to assume I couldn't come up with the right design if I tried. So I will leave my naive implementation in place until USE shows me a bug or a new feature and then that IMPLEMENTATION shows me where my architecture is clunky, and how to fix the original thing.

Over time, everything important gets a full rewrite or four, but only piece by piece.

Generally I assume in an implementation vacuum the long term spec isn't even well defined so I would never just rewrite something immediately.

Sometimes if a module proves difficult to amend I will start over from scratch. But usually by then I have tests and use cases I am confident in.

I love the idea of people doing these rewrite series though... not trying to be evangelical. Just describing a different kind of rewrite.

For many use cases I would imagine that an index that was a bit delayed might actually be preferred. I'm not entirely sure what you meant to imply by 'research purposes' but many of the use cases I imagine are scholarly use cases where something a more stable would be preferable. That said I seem to recall Henry Thompson telling a story about trying to do a study of the statistics of the net using common crawl. By the time he was done he ended up being less certain of the results, the understanding, and the methodological validity of anything related to trying to measure the internet by looking at a single snapshot of a subset of the link structure. Too hard to understand what you are actually counting.

No longer true, the divergence is archaic.

“In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000), while in American English it has always equated to a thousand million (i.e. 1,000,000,000). British English has now adopted the American figure, though, so that a billion equals a thousand million in both varieties of English.

The same sort of change has taken place with the meaning of trillion. In British English, a trillion used to mean a million million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000). Nowadays, it's generally held to be equivalent to a million million (1,000,000,000,000), as it is in American English.”

Come on, don't be hyperbolic. You don't need a trust fund to do just fine. No one I knew growing up had a trust fund afaik.

What is this victim complex my generation seems to have bought into wholesale? Who tricked you into taking on debt? Was in-state tuition not an option?

As for the saving not being an option, are you sure you've cut your expenses as far as you can? If you eat out more than once per month or pay more than $30/mo for your cell phone, the answer is no.

Sorry if this comes off as harsh, but people oftentimes complain about not being able to save due to student loans or whatever, and then it turns out they're being ridiculously bad with their money in so many other ways.
Daggering! That's what I was thinking of.

I play propietary games since 1994, and a lot of open source games are almost as fun as the closed ones:

- Nethack.

- Everything ScummVM supports. Note that a lot of AGI games
are amazing.

- Current Dave GNUKem. Addictive. A lot.

- Crack Attack.

- XUV. Ok, Ultima IV has non-free data, but it's still
remarkable.

- FreeABUSE

- Retux

Technically libre games may not be on par, but fore sure

Not sure when that was taken but it’s totally possible that Android was legitimately a tiny portion of the market or even not yet released
That's been my experience with the other (few) FOSS games I've played; they all have an almost pseudo-retro feel to them. I guess the biggest reason to want to play is that it's FOSS.
It's very hard to get people to collaborate on a game in harmony without a clear leader. OSS games (and a lot of open source software in general) will always suffer from having "too many cooks in the kitchen."
Thank you, I will check those boards out.
Tor can also create a false sense of privacy because people think it will do all of the work for them.

If they look at the network tab in their browser they can see it, but it just looks like a favicon asset that's really slow to load. And people usually assume that with JS disabled these things don't happen.

That's also the purpose of using it in the favicon. It prevents the loading spinner so you'd have to inspect the connections.
I was talking more about 'people being fired for not using HR-approved language' as a justification for why people were being so coy around what exactly happened.

Dude she’s treatment resistant. Talk to a social worker. Her story is not as special as you think. She’s a pretty classic case of a treatment resistant homeless person. And yes she is making a choice just like John McCain made a choice to remain a POW. To say “but they made a choice because X altruistic reason!” does not mean they did not make a choice.
One exception is GUI applications. There are Python bindings to popular GUI frameworks but my experience it doesn't always feel like 100% pythonic. Python is not perfect choice if you want to deploy your application as binary. Actually it is downside of all interpreted languages.

I didn’t say she was mentally ill. I said she is treatment resistant and homeless by choice. Talk to a social worker, her type is a lot more common than you think.
It isn’t. At least not unless it’s boxed with manual and in mind condition. But then that’s not really a fair comparison because if the GBA was boxed then that would be worth more too.

Gameboy games are the one area of retro consoles that hasn’t ballooned in price during the last few years plus Pokemon Yellow is a pretty common game too.

That said, GBAs aren’t exactly commanding a high price tag either. So there isn’t actually that much between the two price wise.

If I'm operating the server I can keep the connection open to your browser and wait until sending the iframes to crash you.

So combined with other tracking techniques (to tell if a tab is still open) you can crash their browser and see which other tabs close.

Yes, it's definitely possible for there to be outrage when either police weren't called, even if there was not something illegal. I'm not saying there should be - because we don't know exactly the situation - I'm saying it's surely possible.

There's a whole range of behaviours that are totally unwarranted and unprofessional, and yet at the same time legal.

A manager who likes to get drunk get 'get a little grabby' or who likes to sleep with all of this staff, or who hands out his number to a lot of female staffers, or who trades sexual favours for promotions, who arbitrarily hires women based on their perceived attraction/datability, or who makes crude statements - this is toxic - this person needs to go.

FYI I'm not talking about 'someone who did something embarrassing once'. Obviously, there are also a range of inappropriate things which don't reach the threshold of outrage.

In this specific context it's hard to say, because there's a lot of grey. We'd have to have a lot of information which we are not privy to (maybe thankfully). It could be a small thing or a consistently toxic thing. Maybe the mob is legit angry, or maybe there's just an inflation/misinterpretation of the situation. We don't know.
I'd say it's more like the poor have their choices made for them by the polity.

For example, if you are poor and living in the tenderloin in SF, any give California assembly person has way more exertion on your quotidian economic choices than Jeff bezos.
A lot of people have overdeveloped amygdalas and dont choose to be homeless tho, for example me.
Could the Internet Archive, specifically https://web.archive.org/ be the basis of an Open Web Index as proposed by the author?

I'm sure there are tons of obstacles to that path, but it also would be far ahead of any new initiative in at least two ways: it already has a huge index and ingestion pipeline, and it is a trusted organization.

I doubt it's dead (various GH repos show some stuff that wasn't there as far as I remember), but it's a small, somewhat academic, project that got hyped a lot really early because it's attached to TBL.

As a Korean I absolutely disagree. Korea has embraced Chinese philosophy in the past, sometimes to such a degree that it was more Confucian than China itself. Yet South Koreans are as zealous about democracy as any western nation.

In fact, there was a time when our own dictator and his followers used exactly the same argument, saying that "Western Democracy" does not fit Asia's unique culture, and we should instead implement "Korean Style Democracy", i.e., authoritarianism. I view them as traitors of our own country and our own culture.

In fact, one of the core tenets of Confucianism is that the monarch is not an absolute ruler but is bound by moral duty. As a classical Confucian text says: 君者舟也, 庶人者水也, 水則載舟, 水則覆舟.

"The monarch is a boat, and people are the water. Water floats the boat, but water also sinks the boat."
It's amusing to note that Dijkstra's most famous quote is something he never wrote.

Dijkstra submitted a letter to the editor of the Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery (CACM) that he titled "A Case Against the Goto Statement".

Niklaus Wirth was editor of CACM at the time, and he changed the title to the infamous "Go To Statement Considered Harmful".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Considered_harmful

Here's the story in Dijkstra's own hand (scroll to the last page of the PDF):

This is a good reminder that when you read an article with a clickbaity title, don't blame the author, blame the editor.

I have argued that one regulatory outcome over Google could be the open release of their index - and even their database of "if you searched for X and clicked the top link then came back five seconds later we can infer the top link is not good for X"

And yes I know that's pretty much all of Google. It's just that it's hard to get away from the idea that an index of web pages is anything other than the property of the people who created each web page and the links on it.

And it's not such a big leap to argue that data that is generated by my behaviour is actually my data. (if is likely to be personally identifying data - or perhaps a different term like personally deanonimisable)

I do agree with the general direction of GDPR - but I honestly think the digital trail we leave is a different class of problem that needs different classes of legal concepts to work with.

I think digital data is a form of intellectual property that I create just by moving in the digital realm.

And if you have to pay me to use my data to sell me ads, you will likely stop.
The essential claim is that intelligence needs to be situated (in the particular domain) rather than symbolic (in an abstract domain).

I think there is something (a lot) to this. Consider how much of our learning is experiential, and would be hard to put into a purely abstract symbol manipulating system. Taking "falling down" for example. We (past a certain age) know what it means to "fall", because we have fallen. We understand the idea of slipping, losing your balance, stumbling, and falling due to the pull of gravity. We know it hurts (at least potentially), we know that skinned elbows, knees, palms, etc. are a likely consequence, etc. And that experiential learning informs our use of the term "fall" in metaphors and analogies we use in other domains ("the market fell 200 points today, on news from China...") and so on.

This is one reason I like to make a distinction between "human level" intelligence and "human like" intelligence. Human level intelligence is, to my way of thinking, easier to achieve, and has arguably already been achieved depending on how you define intelligence. But human like intelligence, that features that understanding of the natural world, some of what we call "common sense", etc., seems like it would be very hard to achieve without an intelligence that experiences the world like we do.

Anyway, I'm probably way off on a tangent here, since I'm really talking about embodiment, which is related to, but not exact the same as, situated-ness. But that quote reminded me of this line of thinking for whatever reason.

> And that is the reason why you're so unconvincing. You did start by insinuating that most homeless are schizophrenic and that most schizophrenic refuse to get help.

I made a plain statement. I don't have the need for "insinuations". If I had wanted to say anything about "most homeless", I would've used the word "most", as I have in all other instances where I used the word "most".

By using the word "insinuate" you are yourself weaseling out of having misread what I said. You can't just say I said something that I didn't say. So I must've "insinuated" it and you get to decide what I insinuated, not me. That's just really poor debating tactics.

> Both statements turned out to be plain false...

I never made such statements. Goalpost moved.

> ... which you obviously conducted because you're not very familiar with the topic, otherwise you would have mentioned your single data point, namely the paper you linked to, right from the start.

You are correct in guessing that I looked the number up after writing the comment.

> You dynamically adapted your claims instead of doing the mature thing of simply admitting that you were wrong and less homeless people than you thought were mentally ill.

You're basically engaging in mind reading now. My claims didn't need adaption because I never said anything premised on the proportion of schizophrenics among the homeless. Whether 30% is "more or less" than what "I thought" is irrelevant. I didn't have a number in mind at all.

> This kind of hairsplitting is an immature reaction when someone points out inconsistencies in a post.

Another poor debating tactic - accusing the other side of "arguing semantics".

> ...several false dichotomies...

Really? Cite two.

> That's not a good track record, especially not for HN.

Dude, you're not exactly helping out with these kinds of posts...
Thanks for the suggestion, but it is not a novel concept. It takes some re-configuration or leap of faith, to accept it as a personal development plan.
This might apply to "traditional" terrorism, that is centrally organized and coordinated. This is however not how most terrorism seems to work these days. Instead, we have something that's been called "stochastic terrorism". Messages calling for violence are spread by people, perhaps deliberately in the hope of someone acting upon them. Given a large enough reach of the message and enough people willing to commit these acts, this quickly becomes something incredibly hard to fight. I'm not sure about it's efficacy, but turning off social media is certainly not a completely invalid way to attempt to prevent more of that happening.
Can be achieved by nested public/private indexes which annotate the primary index. HN comments do this all the time.

If you apply the theory that any conquered land still eternally belongs to whoever it was conquered from, then almost everybody on Earth owes their land to someone else, since everyone is descended from conquerors. This includes the American natives, who warred and took land from each other frequently.

Does place X "really belong" to tribe A, who sold it to white people? Or to tribe B, who were previously conquered by tribe A? Or to tribe C, who were conquered by tribe B even before that? And so on.

It also shades quickly into nativist ideas that delegitimize immigrants since even after generations since they're not "really from" the place where they live. If white Americans aren't "really from" America, it's not hard to argue that e.g. black British aren't "really from" the UK and don't have a true right to exist there if the natives disagree.

If we're going to have any coherent framework around this at all, it has to include some duration of time after which people are considered naturalized to a land. I'm inclined to say that someone who was born in a place and lived there their whole life has a natural, native right to live there. But it's definitely open to discussion. What isn't open is the idea of eternal ethnic land rights. Nor is the unspoken but commonly-applied rule that whites have no exclusive rights to any place but everyone else owns the place they live in.

(The American example even ignores the complexities of settler/native interactions; it was by no means a one-sided conquest; they worked together, and traded, and involved each other in inter-white and inter-tribal conflicts on both sides for centuries. Whites acted very much like just another collection of tribes on the American political field for a long time; the only long-term diffrence was not moral at all, but simply the fact that they managed to succeed where the Lakota and Iroquois and others tried but failed.)
Ah I see, looks like you guys cleared it up/agreed in a sibling post.
I have done a lot of consumer research for a previous job - I honestly think if you give someone an ear to talk to about almost anything a lot of people will do it.

With that being said, you might get a handful of, "no, absolutely not that's creepy" responses to the request, but if you ask enough people someone will say yes and be excited about it.
Everyone seems to assume that eBPF program source is C. But LLVM is happy to generate code from IF produced from other languages, notably C++ and Rust. It would be unfortunate if BCC fails to make available improved ways to express eBPF programs.

People have asked me why anyone would code small program fragments like eBPF in C++. The short answer is that C++ enables better encapsulation of semantics, particularly those useful for a whole collection of eBPF program fragments. Once you find a use for eBPF in one place, you are likely to notice many other places.

Bcc (and maybe Bpftrace?) would be a good place to park C++ abstractions useful for any eBPF program fragment.
Crux is quite a different beast to Datomic, in that it is schema-less, designed to work with Kafka, bi-temporal and some other architectural differences. Similarities are that they are both built (mainly) in Clojure and support Datalog queries (albeit different dialects)

> It's more a trade-off between mobility and ability to sustain fire,

If the design were really the ideal of the perfect tool that only cares about exactly one simple task, these trade-offs wouldn't exist. These items haven't been in service for so long because they sprang fully-formed from the designer's mind with perfect purity of purpose. They've been in service for so long because they were flexible enough to support a literal century of refinement, adaptation, and evolution. The M2 was originally water-cooled because it was meant to be a fixed weapon in emplacements or on ships. They rebuilt it with air-cooling because they needed a gun to put on a tank and it turned out that it was useless on ships. Then they made it fire faster because they needed guns to put on airplanes. Then they added a quick-change barrel system because they needed extended courses of fire. Then they completely redesigned the bolt and chamber because modern machine tools allowed them to use a cheaper, more reliable, and more maintainable design. Then they changed some of the ergonomics to improve mobility and barrel-changing even further. You don't actually want an "original M2". Those were junk, everyone knew they were junk, and it twenty years for them to stop being junk. What the parent is thinking of as the "original, basic M2" is the one with twenty years of adaptations and refinements, and that puts a very neat hole in the entire idea that the pattern was somehow endowed with some kind of lost simplicity. The original M2, compared to the version the OP is thinking of, is just as obsolete and dated as the original iphone is now.
