I actually don't know. There was this previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22324691. Might be some gems there.

For me, it is the 3rd normal form and the adage of "Normalize till it hurts, denormalize till it works".
the title is a little misleading. Since _ExtInst is just an extension of Clang not a standard. GCC and Clang both have some hidden features that are not in standard.
For BBSs, you're correct. Usenet (and email) used UUCP, which is actually much closer in concept I think here.

UUCP is a store-and-forward mechanism, not dependent on a real-time connection to a particular server. I used to run a node, connected to a guy I'd met who worked for an ISP. He had, gasp, a full-time network connection via ISDN; pretty magical in these days of dial up.

So, Usenet feeds were configured on my own little system, essentially subscribing to the newsgroups I wanted. Periodically, it would dial out to the other gent, upload any new posts from me, and download anything new on those newsgroups. My email came and went the same way. Naturally, what I got was a subset of what he had accessible.

While I never used this functionality, I could have had others call up to me, and I would just be an intermediate link in the chain. RFC 976 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc976) describes how this works for email, including SMTP over UUCP.
Over 50 here.

I was just discussing this with my sister, my lack of nostalgia for old favorites.

What I feel is more like the opposite, it's repulsion to overplayed music. As in - I sometimes leave a store when I can't handle Clear Channel music playing overhead. The 5 bazillionth hearing of "Tears in Heaven" or of any artist beginning with 'Sir' triggers a fight or flight response.

I'm not overstating my case when I claim that (for me), listening to overplayed music is indistinguishable from abuse. Even the artists that I adored in my teens/20 are becoming unlistenable. David Bowie was the most recent to go. Pink Floyd is close behind.

If music is medicine, it's all Fentanyl by the time Clear Channel gets done with it.

It makes me continually grateful for all the access we have to new artists.

> That makes it sounds like bank is taking on some form of risk, but they're not.

They did take on some risk -- they need to ensure the loans they make conform to the law passed mere days ago in order to get the government guarantee. Beyond the massive overtime put in by bank lawyers to understand the rapidly passed law, there are apparently ambiguities and contradictions in the law that are not resolved, and losing the guarantee is a huge risk considering how many businesses on the brink are applying for free money. It's not clear where the line between risk premium and profit is, but it's not zero.
> Reminds me a little of Theranos (although not as criminal).

More like Dean Kamen's launch of "Ginger" in 2001.

I meant "new" music.
As a counterexample, imagine reading a book on mathematics that did not use any special notation, instead relying on natural-language descriptions of formulas and algorithms. Or imagine reading a book on molecular biology that didn't use any technical vocabulary or diagrams, instead relying on colloquial language and descriptions.

There is a place for specialized notation and vocabulary. Exactly where that line should be drawn in programming has been an ongoing conversation since 1953 when John Backus proposed the concepts that would lead to the development of Fortran.
“Just a bruised ego!”
I have taken almost the opposite insight away from this whole ordeal. Automation is inelastic. Retooling is expensive and slow. It depends on lots of upstream suppliers having elastic production. Humans are on the opposite end of the spectrum. They're great for on-demand additional capacity at a cost.
Oculus Quest has been a major hit, do you have any info on facebook walking away from VR?

I just don't think they are with the amount of work they are doing on the Oculus ecosystem atm.
Are donations above $5 dollars even required to provide a meaningful campaign for any position in government? Or, are "donations" legal because politicians and the system want the payoff? Dedicate resources for open source platforms that enable transparent governance and increase constituent involvement.
The problem is, that they were never specific about their product. They just suggested that it would be far ahead of the competition which it wasn't.

Nevertheless, I tend to agree that the product they were marketing did never materialize.
Of course its a better idea to pick the version that sounds better. That's what I said; I know both are accurate.

My point is that by tying performance to environmental factors, you get a boost when things are great but then can have troubles when things are not great. Anyone familiar with solar panels already knows this, but if the correlation is obscured, it could be surprising. The article didn't mention a specific performance gain, but if we say you get an X% performance gain when the sun is out, it also means you get a similar X% performance loss when the sun is not out. Users of the system will get used to the improvement, which becomes the new standard, and then a particularly dreary season comes in with weeks of cloud cover, and suddenly there is concern about the degradation of service.

(Like I said, it's still a good idea, it's efficient use of resources, but the PR is funny, that's all.)
Phoenicians as well. And the Canaanites [1] before them. Byblos is indeed an ancient city. It's believed that the first inhabitants were there around 8000BCE. Today's vestiges in Byblos are maybe younger than 500BCE though..

ActiveRecord, Rails ORM was the poster child of ORMs for a while, and is completely abysmal for non-trivial left joins, non-trivial aggregations and some subqueries.

Of course using raw SQL is possible but might force you into converting other parts of the code into raw SQL. There is Arel, but it's just a more verbose SQL in quasi-AST form.

On the other hand, I never had much problems with LINQ or Hibernate.

Yes this is kind of funny. My understanding is that Thomson and Richie deliberately left out non power-of-two word size support (which other languages had at the time because cpu manufacturers were adding a couple of bits at a time to new models (Get this years 14bit cpu, two more than last years' cpu!).

To make a more simple, more elegant, more portable language they decided to settle on power-of-two word lengths. This is similar to how Unix came about, leaving out the cruft and complexity from the over engineered Multics.
> The large institutions are more savvy, have staff they can devote to finding this money, and have more connections to the banks.

Except, when they aren't. Wells Fargo got completely eclipsed by a much smaller regional bank. Per the LA Times:

"Small businesses that rushed in vain to tap $349 billion in emergency U.S. loans to survive the coronavirus crisis are facing a harsh reality: Some of the nation’s top banks lagged behind relatively tiny rivals in handling applications.

As banking giants tried to automate the process, hundreds of employees at Texas lender Cullen/Frost Bankers Inc. volunteered to fill out forms manually, working late into the night in homes to set up $3 billion in loans. That contrasts with Wells Fargo & Co., which arranged only about $120 million by the time the program was depleted this week, according to people briefed on its progress."

Stonehenge builders employed mortise and tenon joinery to connect giant stones
Too bad there isn't an equivalent on-call punishment for management and others around the dev process who also make mistakes and bad decisions.

As far as I can tell, they get paid more for doing less.
Total case count isn't very interesting on its own because it depends highly on testing and policies related to testing. This is one reason why the reported death rates are total crap and why there is such interest in anti-body testing. What is less affected by testing policy and availability is the number of hospitalizations. The number of people currently in hospital presents a pretty good idea of the progress of the disease (it lags a bit.. typically 10 days).
Could be that the $10M cap means that the share of their biggest customers' PPP loans were a smaller percentage of their customers' bank deposits.
> but you are giving stipe pii when you buy something directly. at that point the mouse movement is nothing

1) but that's not how the law works

2) law aside, I'm also not sure it holds up ethically to say "you're giving them <some info necessary to fulfill your payment>, what's wrong with giving them <unnecessary other data>". Now, if you say "but it's not unnecessary, it's for anti-fraud!" then sure, that's a different argument: then the argument is not that you might as well give it because of something else you gave but because it's necessary for fraud. They could still do the courtesy of telling users before tracking them (which might bring us back to the legal argument, which tells us that is is indeed necessary to do so).
The stock prices of casino companies are also down and I know from friends working for those companies that they are making more money now than before corona. Stock price is down for almost everyone right now.

Current public release in 13.4.1 and current beta is 13.4.5 beta 2, released on a weekly cadence with the next one predictably likely to arrive today. Not sure what happened with .2 through .4, but my bet is that 13.4.5 GM will come out today for developers and be promoted to release Friday.

> It's easy to hate on Magic Leap and its self aggrandizing marketing

You mean the fake video demos they distributed?
This is exactly right. They have some impressive technology and if they had found some non-consumer niche applications they could have had a decent business while continuing to develop the display technology to something suitable for consumers, which is probably 10 years away.

They were killed by too much ambition and too much money about 10 years too early.
Magic Leap was founded in 2010, it was a different market for capital back then. The market is the market, you can't fight it or it wipes you out, plus you don't ever have complete information until 5-10 years later.

This is exciting. I'm guessing since it applies to bytecode it works for clojure as well? That would mean we'll be able to use (func (when cond function)) instead of (loop [] (recur)).

Unfortunately, the crux is data availability and reliability from system/transmission operators. For example, there is no online data available for the Northern Territory of Australia, so you can't build a parser for it. Some data providers have frequent data outages for different regions (ENTSOE), as there is no SLA or contractual obligation for providing data reliably.

If you're aware of a region that has live data available and is not yet live on electricitymap.org, please consider contributing a parser [1]! If you live in a region without live data, please consider politely requesting such data be made available through utility and system operator contacts, or explore requiring such data be made available by law (if public policy is your thing).

Indian history hasn't been well researched because of various reasons. However, recent efforts are pushing back continuous settlement dates by multi-thousand of years. For instance: Varanasi is in above wiki link with 1200 BC as inhabited since. However [0] pushes it back to at least 4500 BC.

0: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Varanasi-is...

>>> The results that have come from a detailed geo-exploration (exploration conducted through GPS technology) conducted by seven IIT-Kgp departments, tracing the different stages through which civilization progressed, and how Varanasi has been able to maintain continuity as a living civilization, unlike comparable seats of human settlement in the world. The researchers have dug 100-metre-deep boring holes all over Varanasi to conclude that there is evidence of continuous settlement at least till 2000BC. There are enough indications that by the time the data collection is over, there would be enough to prove that this date can be pushed back to about 4500BC.The oldest part of this civilisation has been traced to the Gomati Sangam area of Varanasi, as indicated by the underground layers that have already been tested.
Why Accuracy Is So Important for Distinct Counting
>>> There's no such thing as forever, especially if it's run by beings that won't be around forever. The scammy people behind this initiative will all die in hundred years.

> if these people actually cared about people owning their own data, they would have released a toolkit or an application that lets each individual do what you've just described. Instead of asking for money.

The only way human beings can successfully store data (especially symbolic/digital data) for long terms is by creating institutions to maintain it.

Even granite tablet buried in a cave for 10,000 years will require a continuous series of institutions maintain the knowledge to successfully interpret it, otherwise you'll just end up with something like Linear A.

It isn't that bad to me anyway, developing in containers with vscode or WSL works just fine 99% of the time for what I do. But that adds confusion to the question for me.
I believe it is not taking any credit risk but it is still taking a fraud risk and I assume still needs to meet its KYC obligations. Plus the documentation and operational needs.

If a crisis exposes a weakness in a system and you're making a good faith suggestion is that really a bad thing?

The US government's attempts to keep people afloat have pretty clear major issues, for instance. Is it really a bad thing to suggest that we should have a system in place to handle these sorts of events, even on smaller scales, rather than trying to rush something out when every day counts? I'm not arguing for UBI per se, but if somebody thinks it's the right solution then is it a bad thing to argue for it when an example of its usefulness is fresh in everybody's mind?

Obviously there are plenty of bad faith suggestions going around too, but I can't help but think platitudes like this do more to shutdown good ideas than bad.
It's not nothing if it was privatized. Either something went wrong to drive privatization, or nothing was going wrong to begin with and then privatization was what went wrong.

Absolutely! We call it a "judgement list" in search relevance land, and one is required and used for training and testing of a relevance config/model...though the training is often manual, until your configuration and infrastructure are mature enough for learning-to-rank.
I don’t think so. They just didn’t find the tech ready for a useful experience yet.

Being pessimistic just means having negative bias.

Being cautious is emotionally neutral, we should strive for it, for sure.

Acting only on negative predictions without weighing in positive predictions or the uncertainty of the original prediction is stupid and unscientific, and likely the result of fear. That you see all the time right now.

Where do people discuss the postponed cancer operations and their casualties, what is the cost of livelihoods destroyed, like yoga studios and hair dresser small businesses? How do you even measure it? Who's stating their opinion on coronavirus lockdown, while also adding the disclaimer about their steady and safe monthly salary as a conflict of interest? People who want to reopen don't care about the "money," they care about economical survival, most probably in most cases.
In terms of threat modeling: Before we all go and disable the first-party mail app for however many weeks until 13.4.5, is there any reason to think this attack has leaked or will leak into the low-level scammer world?

It was presumably in the realm of million-dollar zero-days, so unless you have reason to believe you would be targeted by a state actor, is it safe to assume the current unpatched risk is negligible?
Thanks for the reply. It's kinda hard to reason these economic systems from a personal perspective. It's probably easier to understand them when the system is supported by a group of individuals (collective view).

Bitcoin is an extreme example of protecting your own money. Other people who don't buy in are losers (from Bitcoin's holders perspective). People are self-fish. Bitcoin works on this self-fish mechanism. When you first look at Bitcoin, it's a ridiculous idea. But when enough people buy into the idea, it can start to work as a Store of Value.

With inflation, there's a similar mechanism. Why should you hold a currency that devalues over time? Because when enough people use it, they will accept the currency as a Medium of Exchange. For example, the USD. Everyone knows that it inflates. But nobody really cares. It's a fairly good medium of exchange. I can use it to buy stuff.

Then why should you hold a crypto that inflates? Because it's decentralized. The rule is set and fair for everyone. I don't think it would completely replace fiat either. But it would be a good option to have.

Bitcoin is a Store of Value because of deflationary supply.

Bitflate is a Medium of Exchange because of inflationary supply.

Each coin will not work by themselves. But together, they can make a monetary system. We need two coins that work in opposite directions. I call this monetary dualism.
I have been watching Phoenix/Elixir for a while and wondering if it has gained a lot more traction compared to say 2 years ago ? My choice of full web app framwork is Symfony/Laravel (PHP) or Python (Flask/Django) but I really like what Phoenix has to offer.

How many people will get your sarcasm? Why, I could add to your post that even hacker news no longer serves its purpose to be at the central core of computing ;-)
Or: It doesn't matter how many billions you spend on a problem if the core technology isn't there. Scientific discovery advances based on curiosity and open experimentation. That even includes when we "know" how to do the things but its not miniaturized enough yet. Imagine being a company tasked with inventing the walkman 10 or 15 years before it was possible. You'd end up with some crazy designs.

A Weird Research Boat
Listening to new music is tough. You won't know if you will like it and odds are you won't like it as much as whatever your favorite music is at that current moment in time. So I understand why people don't do it. I listen to new music (largely through Spotify's Discover Weekly) but often have to force myself. The thrill of finding an entire world of music by an artist sometimes even a new genre is what keeps me going. My best friend and I share new music with each other and it really has added a lot to our relationship. As a rule of thumb for life, breaking out of the comfort zone generally seems to be the right thing do do. Anyways hope all of you are listening to new music and enjoying it ..... eventually :)
