I agree, that was a fantastic comment.

I love File>New'ing a project. A blank canvas inspires me and I can see the possibilities, but my coworker can't imagine anything yet is able to improve greatly on extant concepts. And yet another friend can do neither, but is great at being disciplined and pruning/maintaining a codebase.
My favorite example of this is the time it was used it to inject flappy bird.

Yes, it's a magic string hack. On the other hand, it's concise and easily learned. This is kind of the opposite of the "if err!=nil" dance that many people complain about.

I expect we will get used to it pretty quickly.
Hey Notch if you are reading please do us all a tremendous service and show up anyway.
Your edit to your original comment was important information I was missing - you are correct that that would probably work.

With how wlroots-rs is setup it does require the upgraded resources to not be leaked because their drop impl decrements the reference count.

Regardless, this was obviously only one part of the problem I was running into. As well, as can be seen, it's very complicated trying to ensure this is all sound and it's no longer worth the headache.
Well, there's two separate issues at play, and then how they combine.

There's whether you should be able to run your own code on your own device, which I think most people here are on board with.

Then there's whether you should be able to misrepresent what you've agreed to ship through someone's network when you've presumably signed contracts and made statements about that end up being untrue. I think most people would agree that Nintendo should have the ability to control what they allow in their store.

Finally, there's how these interact, because you can only really run stuff on the switch that Nintendo allows in their store, which makes the issue much more complicated.

Which part of the issue someone focuses on will likely inform how their comment is formed, but also how they interpret other people's comments, whether they are really focusing on the same aspect of the issue or not.
I just came here to say something similar. It drives me nuts that this sort of power and performance is let loose on public streets.

At some point I would think we'd be able to have some sort of geofencing system were a car would be forced into "golf cart" mode once it's off the highway.

Fathoming the Deep in Deep Learning – A Practical Approach
I tend to agree, but there are major exceptions in open source software:

- Guido van Rossum wrote the first line of Python in 1989 or so (started)

- He released the first version on Useset pretty quickly ("finished" the MVP)

- He worked on himself for four years or so (maintaining, improving)

- Then other people started contributing for 25 years or so (leading)

So I would say he's able to do all 3 things, plus lead the team, which is even harder.

I think you can also say the same about Linus Torvalds, probably the leaders of similar projects like Ruby, Perl, Tcl, Richard Hipp of sqlite, etc. (without much of the leading part, since sqlite is relatively closed to contribution.)

One exception might be Stallman. Although Stallman's achievements are great, what I learned from reading his autobiography is that he started with existing pieces of code for GCC and Emacs.

In other words, he tries NOT to start from scratch. That's probably what enabled him to be productive enough to start so many projects simultaneously.

He also tends to be pretty good about handing over maintainership. That is, he is relatively good at recruitment to the cause.

Anyway, I guess this is why we hold such people in high regard! Because they're able to do things that most people cannot do -- that would normally take huge teams of people and/or entire companies.
Ray Interference: A Source of Plateaus in Deep Reinforcement Learning
Anyone have a copy of the text of the article? The page itself doesn't include the article and only shows empty gray bars to tease the reader. I'm unable to get the javascript to execute and fill it in no matter what browser I use.
Which is fine, everyone has their own taste and every language has its shortcomings, but then why didn't you say that from the beginning? Instead you made up a stupid argument that with wlroots being written in Rust other projects would have had a much harder time to make bindings to other programming languages. Which is of course bullshit since Rust allows you to provide a C ABI, hence creating language bindings is as simple as with C.
Given that you're referring to a recently released book, you might consider adding a sentence or two as to why it's a good read. Otherwise it might come off as a spam post. Which I'm sure it's not, as I'm on the author's email list and he does post really helpful stuff.
He is your defacto manager, just treat him as such.

Ask HN: How do you promote a GitHub project?
I'm working on an open source project on Github, and I feel it has value to others. I've rolled with Google Ads, Facebook pages and Slack channels - are there good ways to promote projects to the community? The project isn't picking up traction as much as I'd like.

I've done things already like paid people to try it out, and give me feedback, but I suppose the hardest part about getting the word out is getting the initial word out to others.

Do I keep on tooting this project until it takes off? Or are there established platforms that you know of that are good for launching open source projects?

I'm purposely not mentioning it here because I've already posted twice on the project in HN, but can mention it to you only if you are interested.
Buddy, the entire premise here is user "Monotonic" telling me that configuring remotes is unnecessary and that that in fact he or she just pushes to origin.

They are referring to origin as the forked repository. E.g. if I contribute to nixpkgs (the NixOS package repository), I only have to fork it once, use that as my origin, and can create branches and submit PRs.

So, you are both right. If you contribute many times to the same repo, you only have to fork once. If you do a lot of drive-by contributions, you'll end up forking a lot of repositories.

(I fully agree that GitHub has a lot of overhead compared to git format-patch/diff. GitHub et al. also have some benefits in terms of communication. At any rate, diff/format-patch are not that hard, so I think any git user should learn it.)

> Today he asked me 'explain this logic' (It was a simple timeout logic for angularjs, pretty obvious if you can google the keyword) but he was literally stuck on it for hours and then asked me to come and explain this logic and what is it doing.

Lately I started to review much more code than I write. And what I can tell you is that is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking that something is obvious when you spend a lot of time within specific domain, codebase, or technology. If someone can't immediately tell what some straight piece of code does it usually says the code could be simpler or more idiomatic rather then they are ignorant.

While I'm not necessarily saying something's wrong with your code I wouldn't assume he's in the wrong or that he's stupid.

Besides I think it's pretty normal to ask authors about their code when you work with it.

> I am a bit hesitant to work with him because I think he is not very competent and when he do not understands anything, he will simply complain to my manager that its my fault and my manager, being his friend, will listen to him.

Has it ever happened? Don't overthink it, just do your job and provide help to colleagues when needed.
This is interesting. In the US, my 'signature' is always a picture or a doodle, sometimes I write famous people's names in sloppy cursive. If it was like an important contract or something, I might try a bit harder... but to be honest I don't truly have a 'signature', I can either write my name in my terrible handwriting, or not.

Do you have a structure of a company such as sales,marketing,accounting and a plan on how to become a thriving company? You can build a company around a product but having just a product leads no where.
Look at what you are doing and determine if what the VC said is true. VCs look at 100s of businesses opportunities and it's unlikely that they are confused by the difference between a company and a product. Take the comment as advice.

Hi Inkstone, I once critized you because of your location.

You set me straight then and are proving it again that somehow, non-censored news is possible there.

I wish you the best of luck, I don't know if I would have as much balls as you guys.

I can't seem to find a rss feed somewhere ( on mobile...)? Is that possible?

Many of the console jailbreaks historically were done in a "sandboxed" game environment (e.g. buffer overflow exploits in save file names for Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii and Lumines for the PSP).

Even if there are newer, "safer" sandboxed environments, sandboxes are meant to be broken.
I feel like I'm in bizarro world here.

I know that these things have to be done. That should be clear. Didn't I make it clear, in my rundown near the root of this conversation, that I'm aware of the existence of these things?

My entire argument here is that it need not be done at all. That GitHub came along, made things _more_ complicated, and everyone's walking around with this idea in their heads that things are easier than they were before. Right?

We had a process in two steps before.

Now we have a process in seven steps OR something like three steps if you do enough bespoke automation on your local machine to smooth over these rough spots in the way that you mention.

The infatuation with GitHub is so intense though that if you point this out, people flip the fuck out. Is it impossible to admit that GitHub made things more complicated?
Agreed - this was a side project developed almost 2 years ago. as someone else mentioned - entire app subdomain is under https. Only the marketing page is http.
How to Build OpenAI's GPT-2: “The AI That's Too Dangerous to Release”
Boeing opened its South Carolina plant to avoid a unionized workforce, and that plant has been responsible for producing these horrific excuses they call airplanes. They had the benefit of a doubt before, but now it's clear that Boeing's leadership, like that of other public companies, values cheap labor over safety.
Revenue would be nicer I guess, but if it's software that simply works then maybe they are not much different? Not how revenue and profit compare in other types of industries that is.
I was nearly hit by the driver behind me moving forward when the vehicle next to them moved forward and they lurched forward with them. They were looking at their phone, I'd guess they saw the neighbor moving and thought it was a green light and time to go. Fortunately they had enough space and hit their brakes in time.

I've become cautious about taking my foot off the brakes for the same reason. Even when it's safe for me to start rolling, I don't trust them to not hit their accelerator when they're on the phone and notice my vehicle moving away from them.

A peek is probably safe enough, but using a phone is not.
Multi generational families had multiple hands and shared resources to raise children. It’s the grandmother effect. I was raised in such a family. All my grandmothers children and grandchildren lived under the same roof. The women went to work, were able to pursue education and were financially independent. Everyone participated in child rearing with the grandmother at the helm and contributed to the common pot. It was based on kinship bond and a product of a strong matrilineal lineage. It comes from kinship/communalism and not individualism. But all the world is individual now as most societies around the world become westernized.

I think religious morality and wealth inequality greatly affects the hypothesis in both the books you mentioned.

No doubt, there will be a small percentage of world
population that will play out that hypothesis but majority will not.

The chances that the human species will adopt poly lifestyle is small to nil, imo.

However, I think marriage as well as polyamorous or just about any relationship should come with reevaluations and time limit. It is a human universal to want to have an ownership stake in any relationship. It’s higher during reproductive age(due to the cost of rearing young).

If the concept of marriage(because it does carry a respectable heft of societal approval and reflects religious morality) is abolished AND if women are truly independent..especially financially, then I think it would become more prevalent and acceptable.

In one of my imaginary worlds, communal child rearing will also likely allow people to embrace free love, as it were...I believe that love has the propensity to include many people and at the same time, but only if external pressures that cause relationship insecurities and vulnerabilities are alleviated.

I am trying to remember the book where I read the different kinds of love...courtly love, romantic love etc etc. it was fascinating because ‘love’ through the various centuries was entirely a function of
religion and society and economics. But love is what happens between our eye brows and inside our skulls powdered by brain chemicals. We are resistant to accept it.

I find myself happy to accept love when I recognize it, hold it in the now and then release it. On the flip side, I realize that I have enormous capacity to hate. It surprised me but I don’t deny it either. I dislike as many people as I love. It’s like curses and hexes kind of hate. I guess it is my unintegrated shadow inching towards my self.
I should clarify: high quality copies appear only after the DVDs are release. Low quality ones appear almost instantly.

The actual DRM is, I think, studios closing loopholes and probably threatening anyone who leaks high quality copies with jail time.
Yep. Their software support is terrible too.

Exposed database reveals details on over 80M US households
Look at the character assassinations that have happened in the media recently. Jordan Peterson is an excellent example, not only because so many left-leaning journalists have tried to defame him by deliberately misinterpreting what he says, but also because he has successfully defended himself against this attempted assassination. Peterson has a good reason to fear the backlash you describe, but he has a stronger backbone than all of his attackers.

The current zeitgeist in the media is that past some fuzzy line, it is acceptable to defame somebody for having an opinion that is not politically correct. It is possible to cross this line by expressing facts or opinions that are entirely reasonable. The fear of backlash is real.
This is a common argument, but I think it's a great example of perfect being the enemy of good for a couple of reasons.

1) Cars (especially diesels) emit far more particulates and carbon in real world driving conditions compared to idealized testing. The sort of stop and go, light to light driving we do on a daily basis running errands while the engine is cold is the worst edge case for an internal combustion engine. It's also the sort of driving EVs really shine at, since a big chunk of the energy spent getting up to speed is recaptured during regen braking and sitting idle uses no energy.

2) CO2 scrubbing, heat recapture and other techniques to reduce emissions are far more practical and economical at grid scale. Mandating better emissions on cars only affects new sales, but new rules for power stations can be retroactive.

3) EVs get cleaner as the grid does. ICE cars only get worse at emissions over their lifespan. The shift to EVs is really a two pronged approach, with improvements to the grid as another major focus.

Can you elaborate on the major developments in error handling in the last 30 years?
I read the second article and noticed that they have no idea what they are talking about. See,

> It stimulates neurotransmitter receptors in the brain’s reward center with a huge surge of dopamine — an organic feel-good chemical, or neurotransmitter.

They're still repeating the same old wives tales about the dopaminergic systems being related to feeling good. This was known to be false even back in the 1970s. They encode for reward incentive salience, not actual feelings of pleasure. Given this the entire rest of the article can be disregarded.

But, that leaves the actual study cited. This seems to be a 1000 person study of self reports of behavior by college students through text. Self reports are not going to tell you anything but the biases of the people involved.

And at the very most, if we accept this study's conclusions at face value then all they're saying is that people have built up habits relating to phones. Dependence. This is the word you want to use. It is definitely not addiction.
Why open sourcing this ? I don't see any article mention this one.
Why don't you let the hobbyist decide what he or she thinks is safe to hack on.

As a T1D myself, having to spend about 50% of my waking life second-guessing what my endocrine system is up to (with the same system screwing with my cognitive ability to successfully do so), I want to Close The Loop as quickly as possible, barring an actual cure.

"I caution against beginning or ending a quotation with ellipses."

German authorities use a phrase like "this letter was written by machine and is valid without signature".
I don't think that is correct, because the question before the court is not whether or not the person is a victim. The question is whether or not the accused committed the crime they are charged with.

If the accused is convicted, we can infer that the accuser was indeed a victim. However, if the accused is acquitted, we cannot infer that the accuser was not a victim--we can only infer that if they were a victim, they were victimized by someone other than the accused.

(There's also some fuzziness in here because of the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard from criminal cases).

Your observation would only be correct in judicial systems in which an alleged victim has to undergo some sort of trial or hearing at which they must prove that a crime occurred against them before the system moves on to finding and trying someone for perpetrating that crime.
Haha if it's not correct to start with it must be some sort of "machine learning".

Besides, how many innocent verdicts for these crimes can there be? Prosecutors don't care near as much about pot possession as cops do (because they're not the ones getting the federal money), and they plea out possession when there's any doubt about convicting on more serious charges.
I think a few things happen that can cause even people who already own homes to get effectively priced out:

1. Through life circumstances, they need to move. The most common case is when they have kids and need a bigger home, but sometimes they need/want to move closer to a new job elsewhere in the city, neighborhoods change in ways they don't like, kids move out and they want to downsize, etc.

2. Property taxes do go up, yes.

3. When real estate goes up, everything else goes up too. People that can afford more expensive homes also generally have more disposable income. So they influence prices in the market and food, restaurants, services, daycare, etc. all get more expensive.

> And can start a new life in a cheaper place - probably getting about same money for the same job - but with whole lot of money in the pocket.

This is a thing, yes. You see older people move away from the city once their kids move out. When your kids are young, it's good to be in a city and stay put so that they can get a good stable school, long-term friends, and access to lots of learning experiences. Once the kids have left, though, that all matters less.

But there is a cost to that. Uprooting and moving means leaving behind friends and familiar places. Diminished friendship among the elderly is one of the causes of suicide and lower life expectancy. It may mean moving farther from their own children.

For example, I live in Seattle. My mother-in-law used to be a twenty minute drive. We spent a lot of time with her and she spent lots of time with her grandkids. Every year, the rent went up on her apartment until she couldn't afford it. She moved out to the country. It's a beautiful house, but it's an hour away, so we see her much less often, and that's a real loss to all of us.

> Why should we feel sorry for them?

I think that's a shallow way to look at it. We should empathize with them, with both the good and bad parts of their experience.

Overall, I think it probably is a net win to have cities be mostly oriented towards professionals and parents and that it helps balance the demographic distribution of people in the US to have older people move to rural areas. But there are downsides too.
Sure, but in many ways Google's promo process is already this way. Its not perfect, but at least IME, my promotion/performance evaluation has been based significantly on feedback from my peers.
I live near a riding school. I asked my son whether he wanted to learn how to ride a horse. He said yes, enthusiastically, and spent days reading and watching movies about cowboys. Then we went to visit the school on the weekend. He only saw girls wearing pink giggling and riding the horses. Before we even entered the gate he said he was no longer interested.
> Flow is a complete platform for writing apps in a functional programming language that can run everywhere.

It says that Flow apps run everywhere (Android, iOS and the browser via HTML5). Maybe I missed it, but how does it do this? Does it compile to a progressive web app?
It didn't always used to be this way - at one point Boeing delivered planes that were substantially safer than their competitors.

Moving the HQ to Chicago was a terrible idea. Companies like boeing should be managed by engineers not salespeople.
