I encourage you to read its source code, a mishmash of several dialects of tcl, html and js and sql inlined in c, etc. I made an effort to use fossil throughout the summer, but lack of tooling + a lot more git experience caused me to abandon it except for some existing repositories. Note, I have tremendous respect for the authors of fossil and I hope for its success in the long term.

Uh that seems to imply that Google has not been striving to accomplish exactly that. Because they surely haven't been working to prevent a browser engine mono culture. Which is kind of your only option, if your browser engine holds an absolute majority of usage and you don't want to be "to blame" for the browser engine mono culture.

Seriously it puzzles me, how is this not Google's doing.

I mean it's understandable they would do it. They're doing it. Who else would be doing it, the informed preference of millions of users? That would be a first ...

Frankly, TR3 is a bit schizophrenic. So they introduced a new socket/platform for supporting up to 64 cores, yet still restricted memory to 256GB UDIMMs, instead of switching over to LRDIMM and allowing up to 4TB of RAM. And the whole platform is dead the moment DDR5 shows up (2021?). Restrict TR3 to top-end only, but limit RAM to low-to-mid-end workstation. It simply doesn't make any sense why to go through all those steps to bypass x399 while not bringing much to the table. Also, no single TRX40 board has more than 4 PCIe slots...

Retroactive logging.
If you want to add 2/3 + 1/4 (=11/12), take three square sheets of paper. Call the area of each one.

1. Cut the first sheet into 3 equal parts. Take 2 of them (labelled A and B) and place them side by side on the third sheet.

2. Cut the second sheet into 4 equal parts. Take 1 of them (labelled C) and place it on the third sheet next to the other two pieces from part 1.

3. Now, figure out how much area the three pieces cover of the third sheet of paper. If you do it right, you can cut the third sheet of paper into 12 pieces, such that the 11 of these pieces will cover A, B and C exactly.

Sometimes you will need a fourth sheet of paper in case the sum is greater than 1.

There are many variations of this. You can pour 2/3 of the water from one 100 ml graduated cylinder and 1/4 of water from another 100 ml graduated cylinder into a third one. Or use sand and weight it. If all numbers are divisors of 12, you can use the clock.

In this post Paul Henschel is actually saying how impressed he is with the work of the react team.

Paul’s work here (react three fiber) is actually a very thin layer on top of react. Which is impressive in itself. In 3 files he was able to bond all of react to all of three JS. Which says a lot on react and on Paul’s work.

But the point is: it’s react general ideas that are at play here

The zombie could believe it has free will the same way it holds any other belief - whether it happens to be a delusion is immaterial to whether it's able to hold the belief and there's nothing particularly unique about this particular belief. It's also far from implausible that belief in free will could have some evolutionary utility (or, more likely, be a concomitant of some other property that has evolutionary utility). None of this proves you wrong, of course, I just don't see why we should imbue our common sense intuitions in this one area with such authority when they have failed us in so many others.

SQSH – *Nix CLI Tool for Sybase/SQL-Server
Philosophy encompasses science. Testable hypothesis are a philosophical idea, justified on philosophical grounds. You can't justify the very idea of "testable hypothesis and experiments" by using testable hypothesis and experiments. There is a branch of philosophy devoted to this type of question, called "philosophy of science".

One very famous philosopher of science, Karl Popper, gave us the idea that for something to be considered a scientific theory, it must be possible to devise and experiment that could, in principle, falsify the theory. Still, the issue is not settled and there are alternative positions. These are deep questions.

One interesting thing to retain here is that science provides empirical knowledge, but there are other forms of knowledge. You alluded to "testable hypothesis", and so you in fact deployed non-empirical knowledge.

The scientific method gave birth to a branch of philosophy, first known as "natural philosophy", and modernly known as "science".
I put cannot in cursive because yes, you can schedule over the processing capacity limits. However, the CPU acts as a rate limiter in and of itself. If your CPU cannot process 2_000 updates per second, you will not be doing more than that, period. You can schedule 4_000 updates, but they will take 2s to process, no way around it. If you keep scheduling over the processing app capabilities, you will just run out of memory to hold the queue. Nobody is interested in doing that.

What games do is fundamentally different than what react is doing here. In games there are many places where you can trade off quality for speed (for instance frustrum culling). You can decide to compute less to fit within your computation time slice. Likewise, physics can take into account the update rate to adjust to the CPU/GPU's processing capability (i.e: you can use a delta_t in your computations to adjust for frame differences).

In the website there are some such opportunities (you could do it with animations for instance), but you cannot do it in general because most apps logic would not tolerate it (yeah sorry I dropped your request callback bad luck). For this reason I would be very surprised if React went that route.
Sync public SSH keys to –/.ssh/authorized_keys
I do not believe software understands complexity—that's to say programmers can't adequately code complexity into software even if the programmers themselves actually understood all aspects of that complexity—which I'd venture that they don't.

Modern programming as we know it is always a case of a range of given 'knowns' such as input data, program algorithms and programs' application of iterative mathematics and basic logical operators (if-then-else type techniques etc.) to produce an output/the end result. Of itself, no programming language has an a priori concept of 'complexity' built in.

If we move on from traditional software to AI we may be able to tackle the complexity issue to some degree but that's not to say that we understand how AI arrives at a solution. I see this as a deeply unsatisfactory outcome and thus it is only part of the solution. It's why many others and I believe that the term Software Engineering is a misnomer in that the software/programming profession has yet to come of age. Those arrogant enough to say that it already has I believe are just fooling themselves.

I put this case to you as a simple example: take the software that ran the 737 Max and crashed those planes. Let's assume Boeing's engineers knew what they were doing (and that's open to question) and they had essentially programmed the MCAS system correctly but with some bugs. Then I would contend that any system that was capable of adequately handling complexity—here processing parameters outside the range of program's normal design parameters—would have automatically defaulted to a Do what is necessary to save the plane fallback algorithm.

As such tragic cases demonstrate, no such software exists—as software has just not reached the stage of development where users can be certain that their software does not let them down when unforeseen problems arise.

It seems to me software innovation of this type is still years—likely decades—away.

I never said the new model was "give away everything for free" I just said that "Consider every copy needs to be paid even though making a copy is basically free of cost and that this forces us to put a terrible censorship mechanism into place" was not the right approach.

Now that there are crowdfunding campaigns and tons of tools for microtransaction, that is even less excusable than when you had the effort to imagine the apparition of these obvious solutions.

Can somebody help understand the pricing of domains?

Reading the threads, I came across various prices. In case of .com, I saw ICANN fees of $0.18, Verisign fees of $7.85, and then there are registrar fees, eg. Godaddy $18.17.

Is Godaddy paying Verisign or only ICANN? The reason I'm confused is that the threads mention domain brokers hoard domains because they are so cheap ($0.18?). On the other hand, I understand Verisign is operating .com, so they would always get their fees as well?
This is a pretty interesting writeup, even though I don’t necessarily agree with everything. Makes you think, at least.

I’ve been out of version control for a bit, and GitHub itself for quite a bit longer, but this part was interesting to me:

> Because: It isn't really about Git anymore. GitHub used to be a Git repository hosting company. But now, they are about providing other software development and management infrastructure that augments the version control. They might as well change their name to Hub at this point.

Just for added color: starting around 2010 or 2011 or so (around when we added Subversion to GitHub), we had a pretty solid idea that version control wasn’t “the thing”. Mostly because Mercurial was a strong alternative, and there always felt like there might be something new in the wings that could dominate in the next few years. Version control felt really dynamic, and deeply susceptible to change. And if something was better, we’d totally ditch Git for the new thing. The name was a bit of a misnomer, from that perspective.

I think that changed over time — I had a hell of a time trying to get movement on basic version control improvements back in 2014 — and now they’re clearly much more about the ecosystem rather than version control itself. It’s where the money is, of course, but it’s also where the bigger innovation is, at least for the time being.

I think the author is right to say that Microsoft is targeting a different area than version control specifically, though you could argue if the outcome of that is good or bad. It’s certainly different, though- they’re especially growing headcount right now, and the company makeup is wildly different than what many customers tend think it is today, imo.

> Imagine if teaching paid as well as software development.

I’d love this personally. But the organizations that employ teachers do not make the same amount of money, per employee, as organizations that employ software engineers.

Depending on your state, your property taxes would need to double or triple to make the math work out.

To be clear: I’m not making a comparison of the value provided, just the accounted-for profit. Society as a whole would obviously benefit from exceptional math teachers at every school, but we would need to get creative to pay for it. Perhaps we should be spending less on wars.

My experience has been the opposite. Indian kids can solve math problems in the "curriculum" quite well but ask them to do anything WITH the math and they're lost. Ask them how the theorem relates to the natural world and they don't know. Ask them what applications it has and they don't know. Ask them to extrapolate their current knowledge base to a theoretical future and they are completely lost on what a "next step" would look like.

Information is laser focused on getting into an "Engineering college" and not actually on "knowing" anything. It's like teaching someone about spoons and forks but never giving them any food to actually interact with but vaguely mention "food will be relevant when you get a job, not right now"

Better than american kids sure but i'm not sure anything more of value is earned by making these kids essentially memorize theorems and algorithms

Which is all well and good... Until you need a half of a quarter (which I'd use tablespoons for as there are 16 tablespoons in a cup), a half of a third of a cup, or need to add 1/3 and 3/4 together.

Which isn't so bad for a recipe because most things aren't that precise in cooking - but not so easy for all students to work out, especially without having a tablespoon to use. This is even so when you have tablespoons: Those 1/3 cups don't divide neatly into tablespoons.

That said, it isn't like you cannot illustrate it, of course, but just that this method isn't the best. I've just memorised the cooking stuff since I only have a 2-person household.

> Functional stereotactic neurosurgery for psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders is actively practiced.

Lobotomy is the removal of most or all of the prefrontal cortex. That its descendant is now called "functional neurosurgery" does tell you how disparaged and discredited lobotomy is.

It's not unlike nuclear medicine though, there was an early hype phase where it was applied too often[0], too much and without enough precision. The underpinnings remain in active use but at a very different level of activity, and with much more precise targeting.

[0] the US performed 20000 lobotomies during the 40s, mostly on women.
Even assuming the study holds up, that doesn't mean that only the girls picked up the fear. It means only the girls were affected by the fear, by overly generalizing from this one example.
Thanks for your feedback, it was a typo (I am pretty bad with those). I changed it to say "The addend from the relocation entry discussed above in the Listing Relocation Entries section".

Show HN: Open source at companies (Alpha version)
My web app is offering an update for newly published opensource by companies additionally it's a good place to find a company where you want to work in the future because they have a lot of cool open-source projects to offer. It's very hard to figure out what companies have been published for certain technologies like new programming languages or configurations languages, for example, it took quite a long time to see the benefits of "Golang" in usage. Actually most of these companies are not listed anywhere on famous platforms like LinkedIn. This is a very earlier phase of this app and I want to publish a lot of new features that everyone is capable of understanding the benefits of this app.

I will be very happy if you could provide some feedback about this app :)

Thank you for your support!

Ask HN: rna-seq/dna-seq/computational genomics service company
I’m exploring with a friend the idea of creating a bioinfo services company focused on ad-hoc analysis of rna and dna sequences. I’m wondering if you know any other firm with this focus that I can do some research on?

I’m mainly trying to see if there are successful examples and to better understand the market. While there are many sequencing labs, we are not familiar with any bioinfo-only firm to process the data and run analyses.

Context: right now my friend is working as a bioinformatician in a university-sponsored research lab in Europe and mainly running internal analyses. Sequencing is done by third party labs as their center does not have the required equipment. His focus is rna and he has built a large suite of pipelines to execute several specialistic analysis on the data. As for myself, I’m an engineer and currently dipping my toes on computational setup for rna analysis pipelines.
