The US government's High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP)(1), a favorite subject of conspiracy theorists, uses a high frequency, high-power transmitter to temporarily excite a small part of the ionosphere. One theoretical use for HAARP is to produce an ion outflow that drags oxygen up to 800km and could be used to enhance the drag on orbiting satellites (and presumably debris as well), de-orbiting them faster.(2)

Your example shows a very particular shortcoming in the unix command line programs. The mv command doesn't play nice with spaces in file names. I think python is a fine solution for your use case and wouldn't recommend against your code. Especially if you had to build it out for a lot of different patterns.

But if you're dealing with changing stuff in text files greater than 25 gigs I'd always recommend using the unix cmd line tool set for simple modifications if performance is a key concern. It works the same everywhere and can rip through big files. But I'm a Vim guy and I live in the shell so I'm surely quite biased lol.

There are plenty of pretty easy one liners though that can rename files depending on if you can define a pattern correctly though.

echo 'TV Show Name 2014.L337.H4XXX1080p-420.mkv' | awk -F . -v q="'" '{print q$0q" "q$1".mkv"q }' | xargs mv

find . -type f -name '*.mkv' -printf '%f' | awk -F . -v q="'" '{print q$0q" "q$1".mkv"q}' | xargs mv
I'd guess it's a design where the boolean notification that there is a new message travels separately from the payload.

I think it's extremely naive to think that Huawei is just an innocent victim. Almost willfully so.

> I think the stealing instead of R&D thing is somewhat misled. These guys are definitely spending billions on research as well.

If you really think Huawei's R&D theft is blown out of proportion, there's a huge mountain of evidence that suggests the exact opposite. There's really not much wiggle room for ifs and buts. If anything, it's probably worse than reported.

That being said, I don't expect you to say anything bad about the hand that feeds you. Given Huawei's reputation, they're probably monitoring you as we speak.
"Haters gonna hate Slack too"
I don't know if I'm using "Legacy" Powershell. `(Get-Host).Version` reports 5.1.18362.145. I added your workaround to both .ps1 files. It doesn't change any behavior in any obvious way. Even if it did, it's still a work-around at best. If this actually worked, I can't imagine a reason this shouldn't be built in to the product. But I really don't think it works. Regardless of whether any of these profile scripts are taking effect, invoking `echo "$([char]27)c"` directly also doesn't clear the scroll history, so I doubt it would even work even if I could figure out how create a profile script. I did notice that there were a number of other proposed work-arounds in the github thread. Each one of them seems to have some feedback saying that it doesn't work.

In my opinion, this is shortcoming of this product.
The problem with "intellectuals" is that they believe so strongly in themselves they think if they can connect the dots in their head, then it must be.

The jews going to the gas chambers didn't give a fuck that someone might have to make a sacrifice and kill other human beings to free them from their suffering.

You are a worthless immoral coward who is only allowed to think like that because you live in a society that protects you like babe in swaddling. These people are 'other' to you. You're the piece of shit who argues we shouldn't have joined the allies because maybe there's some nuance to Hitler's stance, as if that fucking nuance should be factored in over human atrocities.

"lolr, we didn't go into Rwanda, therefore we should never enter another conflict so as to remain consistent, because intellectualism and our fucking pride of consistency is of more import than other human beings dying".

Or the other one

"everyone just wants to go to war maaaaan, therefore I know better than they do, let the Syrians die".

People like you are HOW Hitler was able to do what he did.
It's very easy to make a nice application with Electron, but very hard to make one that actually is large and compatible.

I mean the system requirements for AOL Instant messenger in 2008 was 300 MHz CPU, 256 RAM, and 250MB of hd space. Compare that to Slack - they don't list the system requirements but I am sure you all know it probably demands at least 1gb of RAM and will use all of it:

#m:WinMaximize A
(Win-M Maximize active window.)

One notable shortcoming is that you have to run Autohotkey as administrator if you want it to work perfectly. Otherwise if you have an active window with admin privileges the system hotkeys will reassert themselves. (I don't run it as admin, so this is a constant annoyance when I start an admin powershell prompt and try to maximize it.)
I'm not the person that insulted the plugin, but I had a less than positive reaction to it too. I would say that this is putting into the template what belongs as JavaScript.

In pretty much every case, where the README shows the "before transformation" and "after transformation" comparison, the "after" part is what you should be writing to begin with. This feels like adding an extra layer of abstraction just for the purpose of not learning to do some simple things in JavaScript itself.

I would be pretty annoyed if I started working on an existing React project and it had that sprinkled across all the components.

I'm not a member of the Handshake team, and I don't have control over what comments get posted. This is a Show HN - I am sharing something I have helped make, that other people can play with. That was my only intention, and I've atttempted to follow the guidelines here: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

I don't know what other links have been posted beside this thread, which a colleague sent to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22310604

That said, you are probably right. It doesn't surprise me that there is a lot of Handshake-related activity on HN right now. The project was conceived over two years ago, and today marks its second week of existence and the first day that people can actually try it out. Respectfully, is it possible that most of this is genuine interest/excitement in a new project instead of, as you put it, "PR astroturfing"?
This thought experiment is neither just a thought nor an experiment. This is the reality of life - every single cell in the body of a plant or animal is replaced every few months. Essentially, talking about the physical body, we are not what we were a few months ago.

EDIT:
Agreed, a few types of brain cells do not get replaced, but everything else does. My point still stands. Physically, we are not what we were a few months ago.
Interesting. Recently, I saw a local news program for the first time in years, and I couldn't believe how many negative and depressing stories they ran.

I'd love to see win 7 freed. I have 4 systems here that run win 7 - and I am not upgrading any of them to win 10.

I'm also not upgrading my windows 8 to win 10.

Unless they free win 7 or come out with a win 11 that does not spy on people I'll be forced to stop using the systems that can't run linux, and will have to consider apple hardware or linux compatible only things in the future.
Programs I write are generally designed not to depend on any particular internet services (if they need some, they are configurable), and this is part of the reason to do.

And, yes in the case of these FOSS it is probably easily enough to find an implementation and to work around the binary compatibility issues. In the case of a program written in an obscure proprietary dialect of Pascal that you do not have an implementation of, well, sometimes you might reimplement a subset which is enough to run these programs (I have done similar things in the past), although of course it is probably going to take longer and be more difficult than FOSS is going to be.

I have seen multiple people saw "Jeff is a sore loser" and I truly don't get it. Do you not understand how these businesses work? Every single one of the executives at Amazon (and AWS) are under a fiduciary duty to make sure their business is protected, which includes pursuing legal action when a contract is possibly wrongfully awarded. This isn't Jeff just being salty (I honestly doubt Bezos even cares as AFAIK he isn't very involved in AWS at all). Hell, these same legal cases happen in countless government contracts all the time, they just aren't as publicized as this one because they aren't as large.
> I'm doing tmux + vim with 256 colors. So a lot of stuff has to come together and "just work"

Very true. I eventually gave up on that because some computers I use still have Windows 7, so it was just easier to use gVim, than mess with installing and configuring a terminal (and PTY?) too.
It's possible to use TLA+ for complex serial systems, and it can def help there. The thing is that TLA+ is designed to be good at modeling concurrent problems, problems that have a lot of specific challenges you don't see in serial systems. So if you know your system is serial and nondeterministic, then you're probably better off with something that focuses on that part of the design space.

To paraphrase Edmund Clarke's Turing lecture[1], the problems of verifying software include "floats, strings, user-defined types, procedures, concurrency, generics, storage, libraries…" If you're not worried about verifying concurrency in your tool, you've got a more resources to devote towards verifying the other things.

That's also a space I don't have as much familiarity with, so I don't know what the best tools are there. My vague understand is that at that stage the problem "simplifies" enough that it's a lot easier to verify the code itself. Like how CompCert isn't just a model of a compiler, it's an actual correct compiler. So you can apparently work much closer to the code when verifying serial things.

At one point I got a bunch of people in FM to write provably correct versions of Leftpad.[2] Maybe one of those would work best for you? Note also that one of the examples uses proves Java code correct via inline JML annotations.

I think the problem with basing anything off of Electron is that the stack is just too daym high and depends on so many things out of your control. Not to mention Google owns you and your application and could add stuff to Chrome that snoops on your users...

It becomes impossible for you to do any sort of quality - even making the original choice to use it means you care about the perceived "convenience" of using CSS and ECMA over performance.

If you're planning that far ahead it may not be an either-or situation. That is, in the future C/C++ may also have an enforced memory safe subset. In which case the issue becomes, how do you write your code today so that it will conform to the safe subset? There are conformance tools in the works that can already give you a sense of the restrictions that will be imposed [1].

[1] https://github.com/duneroadrunner/scpptool
The illusion of safety is dangerous because it makes people act in ways that ultimately make them even less safe once the illusion is broken. The current issues with social media posts coming back to bite people after years is a perfect example. It works until it doesn't and then you're in the deep end of the pool realizing you don't know how to swim.

Liking GH and not (currently) wanting to move doesn't mean you're not locked in. Sure, it's possible to export your GH data and import it into something like GitLab or Bitbucket, but it's not exactly an easy process, and most orgs would think really hard before moving. It's definitely lock-in, regardless of whether or not it's a part of their strategy.

From MS's side, of course it's a lock-in strategy. The whole "MS for Startups" thing is a way to attract small companies to their platform and keep them there until they've grown to a point that switching away is more work than it's worth. Adding GH Enterprise to the offering just makes it more attractive.

This is laughably false.
Not sure if you're open to controlled substances, psychedelics in particular, but LSD has been the singular thing that has really made an impact on my depression (and I've gone thru the usual round of therapy/medication/etc). Ten years ago I had a serious suicide attempt. I'm happier and healthier than ever now, and I credit a lot of what helped me to LSD. Happy to chat about this more if any body has any questions, but otherwise I find Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind an excellent introduction to psychedelic therapy (although his experience focuses predominantly on psychedelic mushrooms, there's a lot in common as they do have similar but different effects on the brain).

It's important to note that LSD or any psychedelic therapy isn't a cure-all. It's more like an accelerated, intense meditative/therapeutic state that allows you to reflect upon your life in a way that doesn't involve the ego-center of your brain. I highly recommend everyone to try it as it offers a way to introspect on yourself that is pretty difficult to achieve in normal life.
Golang is already a top 15 language, I would call that truly popular.
You could argue that the world has gotten into some sort of "stagnant" period, despite the technological advances.

E.g. We're no where closer to having a utopian-level of control over our government. Something that the rise of ubiquitous tech should have solved. On some level, we're all very averse to the notion as well, almost as if our attitudes to it have not changed and we have not worked on making tech good enough for us to be comfortable with it.

Or: Government structures have not changed at all. As a libertarian, I struggle to even conceive how people in the government can even change the structure and ordering of government at this point. We got to our current structures somehow in the past, but we seemed to have stopped the evolution and have almost doubled-down.
This is cool but it would have been easier to build in Java or Dart or C++.
This could also be attributed to comorbid/latent mental health issues we are not privy to e.g. depression (emotionally numb), anxiety/malaise in social settings that trigger panic attacks/fight or flight adrenaline response, PTSD from work environment (victims of abuse), bipolar disorder, etc.

These seem to mirror/share symptoms with how people feel when they describe burnout in the workplace. Sometimes I feel like it's the reason people jump ship to new companies in the tech industry around ~2 years mark, keeps the novelty and honeymoon factor going. Thoughts?
It's speculation to imply that humans alone are imbued with a magical property as related to copyright.
I had a similar thought, about providing free wi-fi and letting people like lawyers and programmers bill the hours that they work while riding on public transit. This would create more demand. I got this idea from dealing with my patent lawyer. It seemed like 90% of the time when I got him on the phone, he was sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic. He could have been billing that time for all I know.

My other weird idea is to have first and second class transit, where the only difference is the price. I got the idea from the trains in Europe. The first class transit would attract people who want to feel like they are getting some exclusive service, and would help fund and support the system overall.
So you're saying "he's ordering it wrong"?
> it is is fair to make comparisons to 18th/19th century events?

Yes
Speaking bluntly:

Almost everyone using the language at present is getting by just fine without this. As a normal Rust developer, I don’t particularly care about a formal language specification existing. It’s a long way down my list of nice-to-haves—yeah, it would be nice to have, but there are quite a few other things that would be more nice to have.

The core team are compiler and language developers. I’d much rather have them working on the language, rather than a formalisation of the language that isn’t going to benefit me particularly for many years. If there are other people that are interested in doing that work, good on ’em; it’ll be interesting to see what happens, but I don’t want the core developers distracted with this sort of speculative work—for this is a heavily experimental area. This is absolutely a place for only a collaboration, rather than having it being managed by the core team. If the core team were focusing on this, everything would collapse in a heap. The core team is a very finite resource that does not specialise in this sort of thing in any way.
I didnt ask them to bring it out - I walked in, they asked me what my purpose was, and I said "I want to buy the most recent macbook pro with an upgraded ssd, your middle tier option" and then they scheduled me to take a seat.
