Not exactly ringing endorsements here.

In large, most of the clones you are talking about are because this is a google pushed product. Chromium specifically is because google pushed it in.

Regarding everyone at google wanting this, before entering industry, most folks never used a proper build system at all. It is not uncommon for college or earlier users to just use whatever their IDE does for them. Such that, yes, any automation is welcome after that.

None of this is to say it isn't worthwhile. Heck, they have enough manpower on it that it should be a good solution. It still hits a sour note with me, though.
What is the deep state?

I think I get what you mean about the fingerprint reader and I agree.
Most people do not create content that is worthy of any high amount of upload bandwidth. Why would you think that upload speed is so important?
This seems silly. If I was to make a similar list of companies using Make, would that have deterred building bazel? Because I guarantee the number was non-zero and included some major players.
That paragraph is literally about the impact on society that it would cause. Yes, they are listing metropolitan areas.

And yes, all the models you've seen before moooooost likely did not take into account activity from Garlock that had literally never been seen. That should not be a surprise.
What will the world look like in 50 years?
What I mean is if the other person is oppressive, then you shouldn't give them control over you.
I find it weird that an article about "Unix tricks" requires the GNU bash shell.
Yes, Cortex uses ONNX Runtime (https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime) under the hood so any model that can be exported to ONNX can be deployed.
That doesn't change the point that he ended up in the same hospital that by chase had >2/3 of the total number of related deaths in the country.

The people dying was the outlier
It's not that simple. If you look back far enough, "cows" are descended from perhaps multiple species of "not really cows, yet". And the same is true for all of those species.

So you never get back to two of any one species.
I did London to SF every 6 weeks or so for over a year, and didn't quite get to hating it but did spend an irrational amount of time trying to optimize everything at the end to make it less annoying.
I would like to see GitHub/GitLab adding a section like SO to the repos, slowly it would build more updated content and the repo owners could moderate. I think the amount of centralized knowledge in SO is not good for the web.
How many people actually crawl towards their fear? Let alone walk or run. It's crazy bananas tough.
Fair point. I disagree. I’ve worked with plenty of sincere and reasonable marketers. None of them have shilled publicly under their own name when they weren’t sincere. Startups are on the above average side of hard working and thoughtful people, in my experience. If you want to shit on marketers, go ahead.
>The 787 itself is a big factor in my comfort. The strength of the carbon fibre fuselage means that the cabin altitude is set to 5000 feet instead of the normal 8000 feet in other aircraft, and the air is recirculated more often I believe, which leads to less fatigue and high altitude problems.

It's also more humid. Since the body isn't aluminum, they dont have to worry about it degrading so much from humid air.
Question: What's the fastest earthquake notification source publicly available? I ask because USGS seems to have a 5-10 minute delay, whereas I'm hoping for less (ideally a few seconds).
Why are people flagging this?

I vouched. please voice your issues if there is something wrong with this, as it seems correct and likely plays a role here as well (new CEO might still not be onboarded yet etc)
I have never seen such a device, now I will tell the artists.
I wasn't aware that there were any laws about data breach settlements from 2012. I detected a breach at Macmillan Publishers around that time[1] and have been wondering if they were still liable.

It feels to me like he is just to taking the very old advice to "face your fears" and make it seem like he has something new to offer.
That's awesome to hear, but I expect you must see you would be a very small minority. Most people now a days seem to base their worldview not on any system of consistent ethics, but instead on who's being benefited and who's being hurt.

For instance on what precipitated this particular issue (the Blizzard stuff), many are framing it as an issue of free speech. But that's incredibly disingenuous because there's no doubt that many of the same people outraged ostensibly about a violation of free speech would have been the first ones lining up to cheer and rejoice had Blizzard chose to ban a player who chose to show up in a MAGA hat and screamed "Build the wall!" in an identical venue. It's safe to assume they also would have taken it further and done all they could to try to get said player banned from any other gaming venue as well, in an effort to kill his livelihood and, by proxy, him. In other words, they couldn't care less about free speech - but only speech that they support, or oppose.

This example here (in our reverso world China) would take this to an even bigger extreme since you would be expressing support not only of a group with next to no national support, but simultaneously expressing support of a deeply unpopular foreign government which could be framed as borderline treasonous. And all of this being done in a highly nationalistic nation? That's a tall order for sure.
Same here. More often than not, there's people in HN who have experience with a topic and can add perspective (and hopefully an impartial view).

More than ever, we need to tone down the clickbait, put it to perspective, and understand if it's something we should give attention to. HN does this in a quick manner
I didn't realize. Well then it's a terrific solution for upset moderators. Take their ball and go compete.
If anyone wants to start eating wild mushrooms and doesn't want to poison themselves I recommend this approach:

1. Choose one edible mushroom species that is often found in your region and is difficult to mis-identify (ceps, giant puffballs, beefsteak, field mushrooms etc)

2. Get to know this species inside out and learn which species look similar to it, especially any poisonous species. Learn the visual differences.

3.Learn the diagnostic tests (spore prints, smell tests, color changes on bruising).

4. Go mushroom picking!

5. Don't eat anything until you've picked this species so many times that you have become expert in identifying it.

6. Start learning about a new species and repeat.
So A = 440 Hz rather than 432 Hz is not a Nazi conspiracy; it was just Mozart hitting his 30th birthday vs. when he was young? We can finally be at peace that Justin Bieber's pop song is tuned to 440 Hz... /s
A new CEO started on October 1st, so that might be a big part of it
You said what I meant much better than I did in a sibling commment.
There are security reasons to want a reproducible build.
The experts have been talking about the big one for decades. I think most people are becoming desensitized to the phrase.
Good old vim has bindings in many languages, too. I don’t think this is a neovim selling point?
Sorry you went through that experience.
Assuming it's spread naturally of course. If it was a deliberate attack it wouldn't be quite so straightforward.

Indeed, if it works for you, then it is good.

In 1990's I used to have ~/dev in school's Sparcs running SunOS, as I needed some device files that weren't available in /dev. But I was able to mknod them.

I've been also toying with chroots quite a lot and there dev is also quite essential for its original purpose. Therefore "dev" is like a reserved keyword for me in *nix systems.

Personally I use ~/w (like "work") or ~/code mostly. I've had ~/dev once for storing projects, but I had to rename it as it was distracting (to me) :)
Linux has a function mprotect which let's you mark if a page (usually 4k) of memory can be read, or written to. In these kinds of circumstances it can be used to check if programs are accessing memory they shouldn't be. You do have to do it at a 4k level however, not individual mallocs unfortunately.
The string manipulation he's doing is already pretty gory, though I think COBOL has better facilities that he's not taking advantage of.
Maybe he was a dissident, but his music is still boring to me. Or maybe his predecessors were just so boring that he was the first step away?

I usually don't understand from his music why he is celebrated. Is it that he is just historically important? Like the discovery of logarithmic tuning of sqrt_12(2)?

It could also be that I am just moved more by the romantic era. Mozart generally gets relegated lower in my list of great composers, but in Mozart's case my objection is the strict adherence to tempo and clear tone.

Edit: It should also be mentioned that the organ is not a very versatile instrument when compared to a piano. Although I have been treated to some great organ interpretation with a distinct familiarity to Daft Punk.

You just dont get magnitude, depth and location data

You can also make your own seismoter, its not complicated but everything makes them go off
One thing to consider is that Lua is not a programming language that honors the seamless evolution. Essentially there are three flavors of Lua identified by their versions (5.1, 5.2 and 5.3), almost identical to each other but different enough that a migration is unreasonable. If it were not the case, there is no reason that NeoVim uses Lua 5.1 [1] even though 5.3 is the latest and 5.4 beta is on the way [2]. I think this dependency on 5.1 can become a huge problem later.

So when we upgrade the hardware, how much of it will be sourced from China?

Is it even possible to fully secure the supply chain?

Introducing any outside code or hardware is a liability. Unless there is a really urgent problem, I think they should just freeze their entire computer platform, that way they can eliminate any chance of any new threats.

I can not possibly imagine any cost justification for doing so. I have no problem with taxpayer money being spent to keep ancient computers running forever. Keeping our nuclear missiles secure is priceless.

What new features do they even need that they don't have now?

The thought of some ux monkey using npm anywhere near our ICBMs makes my physically ill.
It is also intellectually dishonest to strawman an argument.

I didn’t say it is impossible to do X with FP - I said it is not necessary to do X in FP.
You can convince yourself of that by looking for larger-scale non-FP counter-examples to the ones you've cherry-picked.

Every single large scale problem is a distributed problem simply because human societies are multi-agent distributed systems and programming languages are human-computer interfaces.

The issues at scale are systemic and arise from the design trade-offs made when your system's requirements bumps against the limits of computation. No language/paradigm can work around those.

The best a language can do is abstract-away the complexities behind a problem - solve it once (in the language/paradigm's preferred way) and give the human an interface/concept to work with.
Make (to use your example) does not do any sandboxing to ensure that the declared dependency graph is actually correct. This is the big innovation in Bazel (and Co).
How does this work under the hood? Is the model loaded every time it receives a request? Is it run in a docker or a lambda? How does it work after "uploading it" to amazon?

Money quote from the article: “We don’t know what it means.”
Oh wow, you’re right, at the very top. Skimmed right over that. Thanks for pointing it out.

I guess SwiftUI exacerbates the problem since expressions are necessarily very deeply nested.
Cape Town - Atlanta was a similar arrangement, stopping at some island in the Atlantic along the way with no chance of getting off.
So, the double pointer dereference is to handle moving memory with C.
The idea is we can't (reasonably) change every pointer to a piece of memory (as in raw C the compiler can hide pointers, and we scan the stack, so we don't know if things we find there are pointers or integers).

So, x points to a well knowm place, and that contains a pointer to the place where the data is stored. When we GC, we change where the data is stored, and also change x to point to the new location. Then anyone with x can use x to find the new location of the memory.

This does mean every memory access goes through this "lookup" pointers, and those lookup pointers can't move.

In practice the fix was "tell people not to put BAG on the left hand side of assignments", rather than change this macro which occurs everywhere (although we are also slowly phasing it out)

Germany isn't. Netherlands isn't. England isn't. Spain isn't. Italy isn't.

So, yeah..
How is such an obscure language - with associated difficulty in finding talented engineers - ever going to be a better choice than a more mainstream language, which probably has many of the same features?
Or for something in-between try Nanoc. It's a static site generator but much less prescriptive and more flexible than tools like Jekyll and Hugo.
Compulsory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/723/
The problem with putting the left hand side in a function is you can't assign to the result of a function in C, so it has to be a macro. (although our actual general fix was "stop trying to put anything fancy on the left hand side of an assignment")
Then provide a pre-filled declaration based on what tax office knows and let taxpayers complete the rest by sending the corrected form back.
I have to fly from Australia to the US and back around once per year (in cattle class). Usually around the 10h mark between MEL/SYD and SFO I just want to get off the damn plane. 20h sounds like torture, though maybe less so in Business class.

A Board Game That Brings the Internet to Life
I think you are implying that if we let really small regions secede, then every town and village could ask for secession if they disagree with provincial or federal policies. And a world with every town/village/city it's own country will be much worse than the current one. I think it's a good question.

We can ask ourselves, what the competing principles here are, as the "right to political self-determination" is not the only principle. One competing principle is stems from the fact that secession requires reorganization of the economic relations between the larger country and the seceding region. As such, there is an economic cost to the country, that must be balanced with the benefit to the world from the region seceding. If the economic cost is high compared to benefit (as is likely for towns), then the country can reasonably deny the secession request.

Of course, if the country is highly oppressive to the region, then the marginal good to the world of a region seceding can be effectively infinite, and then we should always support the secession request.
Sure but couldn't a person just serve smaller portions? Like if your kid is getting fat just take what your normally serve him and throw part of it in the trash (or refrigerator). If he's still getting fat take a bigger part from it next week and so on. I don't understand how this technique could elude anyone rich or poor.

This is tax payer's problem, not tax office's.
I suspect the reason they stick to 5.1 is because that's what LuaJIT supports.
They will fly with only 50 people on board. In order to make this test more realistic, they should put inflatable dummies in every unoccupied seat and assign most of reporters to economy class.
I don’t want my complex devices changing all the time either. Just updated my desktop to last year's macOS and it caused a cascade of changes from dependencies I wasn’t ready for. Same with the latest version of Xcode, and the auto-updated text editor that went to subscription for the features I had paid for already.

I got Sensis too. Best compromise I could find, avoided connecting to the internet until I couldn’t find another way to program them. Suppose I could disconnect them now.
That answer from George Stocker is an absolutely fantastic portrait of how to lead a community of people. Thanks for sharing.

I think the unstated assumption that needs to be made is that the moderators that remain still do a good enough job of moderating the question so that the user contributions can be valuable.

I don't know if the point-chasing ruins the questions I see; but I still see StackOverflow in the search results whenever I'm searching for error messages. Though, I've increasingly found GitHub Issues show up in the results too.
One of the major time savers of bazel is Remote Build Execution (RBE), which allows you to build modules in parallel in the cloud. So if you have 1000 CPUs, you can really just have a client do `bazel build -j 1000 //...` and you can get a huge speed-up. Remote (and local) builds all happen in a sandbox, so you don't have to worry about e.g. preparing a docker image with the worker / build slave environment. (You do, however, have to register your dependencies with Bazel, which can be a hard at first). To add to this, bazel also has a remote global cache which can benefit large teams.

For fairly large C++ codebases, RBE is really a competitive advantage. I've seen RBE cut down iteration time by an order of magnitude. I love CMake, and CMake can get you plenty of parallelism, but CMake doesn't really provide a tool for building several CMake sub-projects in parallel, and bazel handles this really well.

Sadly Bazel RBE is still primarily a Google Cloud product. Also, GCE is slow to work on supporting auto-scale, so you have to pay for unused workers. (Like most products in Google Cloud, Google is ripping you off with alpha-quality stuff). There's some very rough open source RBE stuff on Github that you can run yourself, but nothing really production-grade yet.

gg ( https://github.com/StanfordSNR/gg ) is a promising-looking alternative. It's research code, but it might be the community's best hope for a non-Google alternative (that e.g. supports AWS Lambda for parallelism). Bazel is great, but without independence (e.g. what Kubernetes achieved) it's difficult to see bazel as dependable as make or CMake long term.
Bach boring? No arguing about taste I guess. As for the organ not being very versatile compared to a piano: think of an organ not as a piano, but as a very early version of a synthesizer without 'touch sensitivity'.

For another data point, I just completed a flight on a United 787 from SFO to Seoul (12-13 hours) - that was a rough flight, almost as bad as my flights from SFO to Haneda (I puked on or from both flights to Haneda), and I had a wicked headache after landing.

I wonder if I have some pressure sensitivity that affects me on these long haul flights, as I haven’t felt it on domestic flights or flights from SFO to Heathrow (or back). In addition, I know I am susceptible to altitude sickness.
I'm afraid the one big problem that would face is Google. A swarm of small, loosely linked sites will not rank high enough to get significant traffic.

I distinguish between prepping vs doomsday as;

1) Acknowledging there is a chance of a significant event vs. I know what is coming.

2) It takes a minor part of your life vs. significant proportion/resource.

Personally I keep a couple months food stored. I dont keep freeze dried barrels of meals etc, just buy bulk on stuff we use that's 1) on special and 2) stores; like jars of pasta sauce, peanut butter, toothpaste etc so really it also saves money as a portion of my grocery is always half price rather than that weeks on special usage.

The way I look at it is pretty much every 2nd generation experiences a significant catastrophic at some time. If I can keep things covered for a couple months it covers most non-extreme scenarios, where as if the end of civilisation did come I figure there would be so many variables there not much you can really do unless you devote you life to this and sacrifice you lifestyle for a likely non-existent outcome.

Keeping some extra food/supplies is insurance of a kind. And surprised more people dont while so many have things like house content insurance.

For me I dont have content insurance on my house while most people do. Many people would think I'm strange for having a couple months food, but the way I look at it is, if all my house goods disappeared it would suck but I can sort it out fairly easily over 3-12 months. If something happened that broke supply lines, while significantly less likely than the house being being burgled/fire etc, the consequences are so much greater. I prefer to be covered for a much less likely event that would have significant impact on me, than a more likely (though still low) event that will have little impact on me in the over arching story of my life. PLus there something nice about the planning organising mental exercise of it
For me it developed into the other direction. It used to be a drag but now I look forward to cocooning for the duration with no one able to interrupt (so no WiFi for me, that’s a feature). Get to focus on finishing up that movie edit or code a small project.

To abstract away from the above, I find that the mindset going into the flight determines the experience.
