This just depends on whether a specific store has upgraded their POS. At every grocery store I go to in SF, including Whole Foods, Safeway, and Costco, every register supports NFC/Apple Pay.

Even better than Apple Pay IMO is NFC-enabled cards. Love that US issuers like Chase and Amex have finally started rolling those out.
I think that's right. It's kind of sad. After decades of explosive tech growth, we're left with there being no really good modern desktop OS, and no cross-platform GUI that approaches the potential of the medium. It's a fragmented mess, full of accidental complexity & user frustration.
RHEL 8.8 will be released in 2023Q4, so I suspect RedHat will continue to maintain the code at least until then.
Wow, you could actually lose the data with this bug. Glad it was fixed in 12.3. I remember the last time something like this happened (4-5 years ago?) it would only crash the phone.

We implemented carbon pricing in Australia, then Rupert Murdoch overthrew the government and installed his own conservative party to undo everything.

U have the same issue with Rupert over there. He owns your conservative party and the main media delivery platform to the socio-economic areas that decide elections.

His fear game is simple. You either have a tax OR the jobs the blue-chip companies provide. They will threaten to leave your country (during an election most likely) and u will need to deal with those consequences. In the days of social media engineering, fake news wins. Rupert invented fake news! He successfully deflected all the blame to the Russians, when its his propaganda network which is responsible for deseminating fake news at scale.

Yet when similar approaches have been trialled in the UK, they worked just as well. When you consider the cost per year of imprisonment recidivism and rehabilitation should the main priority. Homogeneity is not required.

The whole "tough on crime" headlines and media campaigns in certain sections of the media, and certain shades of politics are the cause of much of our problem with overcrowded and brutal prisons. Tough sentencing does not work. It's been demonstrated decade after decade. It flies well for voters seeking vengeance. The same voters who'd probably bring back hanging tomorrow if there were a referendum. That's not justice.
>When embarking on a project, you do not often know everywhere it will take you. If you start with a language that won't go some places, your project can't go there. If it needs to go there to succeed, you have doomed it at the outset.

Yes. That's why an extremely flexible language, like Lisp, is an asset in those cases.

>The hardest lesson to learn seems to be that GC is poison.

Yes, the poison that kills a wide spectrum of memory bugs. And makes difficult data structures reliable.
Notably, this result would be very hard for Microsoft to achieve, or indeed even reproduce fully in-house, because it requires more memory than GPUs have. GitHub mentions that TPUs are pretty much table stakes to train this.
Yes. The tax man still cometh otherwise.
Just a note... even reading a file updates the access time, so if you reason this way then no program touching any files in the worktree will ever be idempotent... which seems to lose the utility of the concept.
It's a bit ridiculous making such a non-differentiating statement claiming to be against automation when that is a lot of what the digital revolution is about in the first place. No less on hacker news, which is one of the hubs to talk about the digital revolution.
This sort of sentence is exactly the point of the article. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winograd_Schema_Challenge

Why? What makes you think this will be easier to implement than existing methods?
Interesting, I had tried to get an HTML5 video element to read from a gstreamer-based MPEG source, but it would not work. I'm pretty sure because gstreamer did not provide a real HTTP server, so the headers were messed up. It's odd, because oggmux did work over tcpserversink. Anyway, I will try this because I'm interested in the resulting latency.
Yeah, how's that working out?

I fail to see how the term "evergreening" is misleading. It seems to me to be an accurate term that precisely describes an industry practice responding to market and regulatory incentives. I think journalists are spot on for this one, "evergreening" is an accurate and completely truthful assessment of the situation, and perhaps you are thinking too narrowly within the scope of legal terms in patent law and not enough about real world effects.
Depends - if you restrict access, or fence things off I could see a point where it's resented. If you don't restrict access, you no doubt get illegal logging.

Oh and it's just the sort of thing Brazil's equivalent of the Daily Mail would love to generate political outrage over - for the benefit of those who'd like to exploit it such as the wealthy media owner. :)

>Runtimes for Clojure include JVM, JavaScript engines, .NET

Except that they don't support the same Clojure language.

ClojureScript is a success, and code written for the JVM Clojure won't necessarily run on ClojureCLR.

Clojure's overreliance on the JVM at the very core was a bad decision.

Take Common Lisp: the exactly same language runs on the JVM, native machine language (many platforms), and LLVM, with zero code changes required.
I've been thinking a lot about this myself my choice is knex migrations with auth via express/passport but then the backend is mostly postgres, graphql, hasura. Frontend I use quasar to get cross platform on Vue.

I’ve previously suggested this as something the DSF could do as a money maker, but I don’t think the operational complexity makes sense for a non profit foundation.

I’m surprised no one else has picked this up as a business idea though. The actual technical work likely wouldn’t be very hard.
I did an OpenGL tutorial when it was basically a fancy state machine. Boy how things have changed. Never found a good resource for modern graphics.
That attitude is definitely not a Chinese thing though.

In China, it’s the reverse. They think foreigners aren’t smart enough to learn Chinese. That’s why they are always amazed when some expat can speak even the most basic phrases.

The scary thing is that’s it’s often these “expat bubble” executives that are making decisions. No wonder foreign companies in China get taken to the cleaners.

The weakness of poor fill was also demonstrated by the collapse of row houses in the Marina district of SF.

One striking effect was the directionality of the damaging waves. Bookcases and such that were perpendicular to the waves from the hypocenter went over; those that were parallel were fine.
Since a restore works it cannot be called a brick though?
Looks like the "curse of complexity" strikes again... every time I see bugs like this, I wonder if it's because of some code that tries to be a little "too smart" in trying to parse what could be arbitrary data, and forgetting some edge-case.

(If you have JS disabled, you can click "View in Old UI" and then view source to see the content. I find that a bit ironic in the context of this specfic bug...)
You get a receipt after you exit. And from the receipt there's an option to notify of a mistake. I've never had to use it yet, and I haven't had a mistake happen yet so I can't comment on how smooth that would be.
UML has been around for a very, very long time. I remember using it back in undergrad for one of my courses, but now I forget which one.

It’s got great documentation. See the kernel.org documentation here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/virtual/uml/UserMod... and a write up from the creator Jeff Dike (which includes a lot of technical detail on the inner workings) here: https://lwn.net/2001/features/OLS/pdf/pdf/uml.pdf (from 2001!)

slirp is the only _purely usermode_ way to do networking, but UML also supports TUN/TAP for something a little more sane. UML does a bunch of pretty crazy things in order to work, including a dedicated thread whose job it is to ptrace every other process for syscall and signal emulation (and, as a bonus, it even ptraces external debuggers to make them think they’ve successfully ptraced a process that’s already being traced!), and a full emulation of physical/virtual memory translation with paging (done by giving every virtual process under UML its own virtual address space).

All in all, a super impressive project, and definitely one worth trying out.
Where in the southeast? I grew up around Knoxville, which had reasonably well defined seasons. Then I moved to Atlanta, which basically has “summer” and “not summer”.
UK is much nearer the picture described in the article's small seasons. I'm sure a century back in many families could come up with the regional variations on this theme. They would be highly localised too, as despite being a small island we pack a ridiculous amount of weather into our "mild" climate. :)

Winter breaks into the damp start, the still but gloomy mid winter, and the sharp coldness[1] of late winter. All the others break down similarly.

[1] UK doesn't really have winters like I remember from youth and twenties any more.
The whole point of the article is that the manufacturers aren't developing new drugs. The drugs haven't changed in decades. They're making small changes to delivery systems and other ancillary aspects and then patenting these new variations, as well as engaging in the usual quid pro quo wink wink old boy network anti-competitive manipulation of regulatory regimes.

I really really want an e-ink laptop, exactly for this purpose. I absolutely love working outside, like on my patio or wherever. I've tried just about every shade over the years, but anything other than basically enclosing the space between your head and the screen gives you too much ambient light for these LED screens.
In my experience for most developers the behaviors boil down to just a few questions?

1. Are the developers willing to write original code or must they be limited to configurations or tooling?

2. Are the developers willing to accept any API (RTFM) or must the developers be limited to prior known APIs?

3. Are the developers willing to accept failure for missing unspecified, but commonly known, requirements such as accessibility, usability, security, or domain specific knowledge?

4. Are the developers willing to alter their personal routines to accommodate a shift in requirements and delivery dates or do the developers shift requirements to accommodate their routines, such as work-life balance?

5. Will the developers write technical documentation to describe process and approach or will the developers shift requirements in anticipation of forth-coming technical documentation?

6. Will the developers refactor code to achieve simplicity (imperative), descriptive concepts (declarative), code style, or not at all? The motivations generally do not overlap.

7. Will the developers accept code that better achieves business concerns or end-user preferences (object measures) in violation to preferred structures or styles (subjective measures)?

8. Are the developers willing to read the existing code (RTFC) before recommending new tools or solutions?
It's cool that you're working on this! But piece of advice: It would be really nice to see the platform (a screenshot or video) before having to sign up.

One could argue that even paper is not completely safe, especially if you bought a book from Banksy (but that's starting to get absurd).

If we eliminate the Banksy absurdity, I believe that there is some value to the argument: it's simply physically impossible to shut down a paper book because it's a piece of "technology" that's easy to understand and inspect. In contrast, an e-book is always just thousands or millions of bits that you usually don't physically inspect. HN readers may generally be tech-savvy enough to confidently tell which books or platforms are immune to remote-shutdown, but you may be giving too much credit to the proverbial grandma (or even mother, as my own mom definitely wouldn't have any idea).

The problem isn’t that the bug itself will cause data loss - it’s that you have no way of using the phone because of the boot loop unless you wipe.

I’m not entirely sure how you’d go about updating the phone without booting into it, but I think it is possible, and that would be one way to avoid losing all your data due to the bug.
>Elephant in the room: the hostility of the LISP community. Is there any language community with quite the reputation for unwelcoming unpleasantness, combined with the opposite - no counterbalancing reputation for welcoming friendliness?

I entered the Common Lisp community 2.5 years ago and found nothing else than good, helpful, friendly people.

Yes, they (we) don't tolerate stubborn stupidity, but if newcomers are truly interested they are treated very well.

... somehow I think that the button to create a Delaware C-corp should come with agree-to check-boxes something like this:

∙ I have read Paul Graham's essay on playing house [2] and I'm not just creating a company because that's something startups do.

∙ I understand that there are more lightweight incorporated entities that offer limited-liability and other benefits that might better suit my use-case and that are easier to wind down than a Delaware C-corp.

That’s interesting. Do you have a reference to a working example?
You're on :)
We have a president in the US who does not know/care about climate change in 2019.
Haha, similar to you then. Grew up near Atlanta, then moved to Knoxville, then the Bay Area.
There's still one person to help at the door, one person to check ID for the alchohol section, a security guard, and clerks that fill up the aisles, refill the shelves, put things back in their place, etc.

Also, they have a kitchen attached to them, and prepare food in it, so they have kitchen staff for that and all the delivery surrounding it.

They also now need to hire engineers to work on the system, maintain and repair it, and service workers to setup and maintain the infrastructure needed in the store.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure the whole things turns out way more expansive for them than hiring a few cashiers. I think the idea is that the extra convenience given to the customers mean that customers will prefer to shop at Amazon Go instead of elsewhere, and that might be worth the extra cost to grow the marketshare.

I'm not opposed to having intermediaries. I'm opposed to having a media environment where only particular established and "trusted" intermediaries are capable of disseminating information to the public. While imperfect, I consider it, on net, to be a very good and healthy aspect of our society today that no one holds the kind of institutional power over public information once held by, for example, Walter Cronkite and his employers. Not because Cronkite and CBS were particularly untrustworthy, but because that degree of centralized power posed a tremendous risk.

Not only do I not trust corporate media institutions with that kind of power generally, I am even more distrustful of corporate media institutions that push the narrative that they should have that kind of power. Not just because it's good practice never to give power to someone who obviously wants it that badly, but because the way in which they are campaigning it is itself tendentious and, at times, dishonest--which only makes them even more obviously untrustworthy.

Oddly enough, the heyday of the American newspaper and "yellow journalism" seems to be not too far off from today's era. Hearst and Pulitzer would barely miss a beat in today's clickbait environment. We survived that era because Americans learned not to believe everything they read. It's a shame that the media oligopolies of the 20th century gave them the opportunity to forget.
The .NET Framework 1.0 included "Code Access Security" which included mechanisms to authenticate code with "evidence" (as opposed to traditional 'roles') and the apply permissions similar to your example: DnsPermission, FileIOPermission, RegistryPermission, UIPermission, and so on.

Unfortunately, the architecture was too complex for most developers and fell to the wayside. It was finally removed from the 4.0 Framework after being deprecated for some time.

Your points were all sound. I'd emphasize that if you're in a state that is reasonable for incorporation (some are not), you're often better off as a bootstrapper to set up an LLC in your own state rather than in Delaware, Nevada et al. Managing most problems are considerably easier within your own state / locally. And if it ends up being successful, you are likely able to afford the cost and hassle to reincorporate in a more ideal state based on the specific business needs.

For most who do not own a home near a shore or in a flood plain, the answer is obvious, and the game reinforces this (it only allows this as a long term success) - do not attempt to change the advance of rising sea levels at sandy beaches and buy back the threatened homes for a managed retreat, every other option essentially is short term stop gap solution for the threatened home owners.
It's much worse for Africa than the EU. Here are the ratios of GDP per capita of the highest to lowest states in each region, excluding outliers DC and Luxembourg:

US: 2:1 (Massachusetts $66,000 : Mississippi: $32,000)

Eurozone: 4:1 (Ireland $71,000 : Latvia $16,000)

Africa (PPP): 50:1 (Equatorial Guinea $35,000 : Central African Republic $700)

CAR isn't even an outlier. There are several African countries with less than $1000 GDP(PPP) per capita and several with over $10,000. So it's much more diverse than the Eurozone.
It is not an IETF standard - those have RFC numbers. It is just a personal draft - any IETF member can upload one of those, regardless if it's useful. I'm happy that it has a specification - but it's just a one-man project, not something that has gone through the IETF standards process.
Macro trends in nature are strong, humans can try and mitigate but we’re ultimately takers on the trend. There might be cases where sea walls provide compelling protection along specific parts of the coast, but as a grand plan to save the existing coastline, it’s a waste.

We studied Pacifia’s cliff side/coastline degradation in hydrology class. What’s happening is that waves erode the bottom of the cliff and the rest sloughs off, like pulling Jenga blocks from the bottom of the pile. A massive sea wall could slow the rate of cliffside erosion on the time scale of a generation, But the risk/hazard will remain. I don’t see the the benefit to society for not retreating development here.
I switched to using TUIs for everything except web browsing ~8 years ago (and I switched from GMail to Mutt ~3 years ago). I honestly can't imagine going back (I'm a Linux user so this might bias my viewpoint). GUIs either feel dated or sluggish, and I find that there are far more mature and continually-maintained TUI projects for most developer-related tasks than GUI ones. This is probably because (Linux) developers have a bias towards TUIs and so write tools that suit their workflow.

Another massive benefit is that I can seamlessly use all of the same tools over an SSH/Mosh connection. X11 forwarding over SSH has never practically worked for me (it's too laggy and Australian internet makes doing it between networks basically impossible).
