You can also allocate memory on the hooked process, Notepad in this case, and modify that one then use WM_SETTEXT. I thought about that when I saw his "wait to fill Notepad with WM_CHAR" which took like 10 seconds? Anyway WM_SETTEXT would be faster then 30 FPS he achieved with accessing Notepad's buffer memory since he's doing a lot of extra-work there to achieve the final result.

We don't throw anyone in jail for being suicidal. We don't throw people into psych hospitals unless they're at imminent risk of successfully committing suicide - we don't do admits just for suicidal ideation. One of the first things you learn, even as a med student, is how to distinguish between "this person needs help" and "hide the sharp objects." That said, some patients are in the "hide the sharp objects" zone - and they get hospitalized to make sure they don't die.

You are creating an exaggerated worst-case scenario that, luckily, means you don't have to change or risk vulnerability or anything. Unluckily, your safe space sounds like a pit of shit. Depression will do that to you.

Please reach out to a professional & get help. You'll be shocked how much better you can feel in just a few months.
Thanks. That does say it received Royal Assent, so the legislative process has indeed finished now, the relevant preovisions just haven't come into effect yet.
I notice that the bug was in the user's failure to communicate the intent of the scalar. Presumably with regular use users would learn to be more clear and/or anticipate the likely fixes to ambiguous labels.

Also, since it would be used to build tests as well, I'd expect such misunderstandings to be pretty obvious. I would be willing to bet you'd see a net reduction in bugs, and a substantial reduction in typo related bugs.

But if you mean by lowered barrier of entry you mean the population of programmers would be less competent, yes bugs in the design might increase, however being able to more quickly get to the point of evaluating a design is a great way to learn better design.
Bazel is definitely buggy. One of the silliest ones is this one (and as far as this one goes, I do not understand how this issue exists when Blaze has been used in Google for such a long itme): https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/9419

One of the more fundamental bugs is this one: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/4558

I've even had to clean --expunge and clear my disk cache to fix some build errors before. Bazel paints a rosy picture of the world, but the real world is messy, and Bazel builds aren't as reproducible as it makes you want to think. (Which BTW is one thing that's had me asking so many questions about Nix.) At least the fact that it does not track changes outside the workspace means you can update your system compilers (or Python, or whatever) and end up with build outputs that will not be reproduced from scratch.

It takes a lot of time to track the issues down, so I don't necessarily know what goes wrong every time; these are just two issues I remember off the top of my head. But if you haven't run into bugs with Bazel then you haven't used it seriously enough.

And then there's the Python support which is even more half-baked right now. Their own comments readily mention that the Python support is not idiomatic. (Not just in terms of syntax, but some of it goes against Bazel's underlying design.)

Of course I say this with the full realization that "fixing" these things can be a huge undertaking (up to and including hooking the compiler programs manually), but that doesn't mean they're not bugs.
I feel compelled to ask this though: As a famous story goes, anyone naïve self-diagnosing might incorrectly conclude to have been inflicted by multiple disparate diseases.

I haven't been able to figure out what could to tell me conclusively if someone (I or anyone else) is clinically depressed at all. I mean, is feeling of sadness depression? Sadness depends so much on what's happening at any given point in time, and some days are more sad than happy and vice versa. Sometimes, there's sadness associated with a context (may be showing up at work evokes sadness due to recent failures in professional life, say), but coming home to your kid doesn't, or may be it's the reverse, and may be you are suddenly, unpromptedly are reminded of an incident or a regret that sadness comes gushing in... Is this depression, or normal emotional response to persistent stress? I guess, what I'm trying to say is, reading up on depression makes me feel like I may be depressed, but then how can anyone know for sure that they aren't misinterpreting or misattributing the symptoms?
So that's basically program synthesis from natural language (ish)
specifications (i.e. the comments).

I can see this being a useful tool [1]. However, I don't expect any ability
for innovation. At best this is like having an exceptionally smart
autocomplete function that can look up code snippets on SO for you (provided
those code snippets are no longer than one line).

That's not to say that it can't write new code, that nobody has quite
written before in the same way. But in order for a tool like this to be useful
it must stick as close as possible to what is expected- or it will slow
development down rather than helping it. Which means it can only do what has
already been done before.

For instance- don't expect this to come up with a new sorting algorithm, out
of the blue, or to be able to write good code to solve a certain problem when
the majority of code solving that problem on github happens to be pretty bad.

In other words: everyone can relax. This will not take your job. Or mine.

I generally agree with your last sentence, but maybe it's a mistake to generalize it to other activities or professions.

If an adequate surgeon has an 85% success rate, and a brilliant one a 90% success rate, then it's arguable that being ten times smarter or more dexterous isn't that important, to be overly rewarded. So in that sense, merit might not matter.

But many activities or professions lend themselves to multiplying others' results. What if someone can teach all the surgeons to have 5% fewer failures? That still has diminishing returns, but what if someone figures out a way to do, say, twice as many surgeries with the same resources, or to eliminate the need for half of them? You might say they still don't need or deserve wealth, but in order to reap the benefits, society has to give those people power in some form to organize the activities of others. And wealth tends to flow to those with power.
We (humans) are so mind-blowingly disorganized at solving problems that you likely could have much more of an impact focusing on solving that organization problem (even just a small part of it) than spending resources raising kids. And that is ignoring the environmental impact.

IOW, if your goal is to better humanity, having a kid is a really, really blunt instrument versus using more of your brain capacity x time on that goal.
Doing a bit of research, this mkhedruli/mtavruli case relationship was only added in Unicode 11, which means you can go and read the documents you used to justify it.

And it seems that the Georgians themselves were the ones who pushed for this change: https://unicode.org/L2/L2016/16034-n4707-georgian.pdf. It seems this isn't a case of "ignorant Westerners screwing up Unicode" but "ignorant programmers who don't understand how Unicode works screwing it up," as noted in the sibling comment.
I wouldn't expect that to change any time soon. The Microsoft/Sun lawsuit still stings inside the company and has legal impact decades later (https://www.cnet.com/news/sun-microsoft-settle-java-suit/). It's the reason why, for instance, you can't download Windows 98 or Visual Studio 6 on MSDN/Visual Studio subscriptions. Microsoft is now friendlier to open source than it has been, but I would be shocked if they ever got friendlier with Java. (Disclaimer: I haven't worked at MS in several years)

It it without a doubt that he is under constant electronic and physical surveillance by the Russian and American governments. His phones and computers are also very likely compromised. At that point your choice of messenger app matters about as much as the color of your socks because the interception is happening at another layer.

Blood for transfusion is screened principally using antibody tests. These tests can be negative for up to two months for an HIV-infected person and even longer in the case of Hep-C (retest at six months recommended to rule in/out). So, while the antibody tests used today have a very low false-negative rate, there remains a concern around people who may have contracted a blood-borne disease in the the last few months.

As a gay man, I was for some time frustrated with donor exclusion policies related to MSM. However, keep in mind - blood donation is not any benefit to the donor, but rather to the recipient. It is in the best interest of the recipient for blood banks to obtain blood with the lowest risk of infection. For this reason, blood banks exclude a wide variety of donors with elevated risks of various infectious disease (MSM, IV drug user, in the UK in a certain time period, deployed overseas by military, etc depending on the organization). The number of people not excluded by these policies is normally sufficient to meet need, so it makes perfect sense for the blood banks to stick to a policy designed "out of an excess of caution" to avoid blood with higher risk of infectious disease.

Because of improved accuracy and affordability of antibody testing, the exclusion period for MSM was reduced to 12 months (from lifetime). Because of an abnormal blood shortage related to COVID-19, FDA has temporarily reduced the exclusion for MSM and individuals with tattoos/piercings to 3 months. 3 months is actually cutting it somewhat close as far as reliable detection of antibodies, so the period will likely be increased again post-crisis to maintain a wide margin of safety.

Organs are evaluated for suitability based on guidelines that are similar to, and often stricter than, blood donation.
What's privacy like on this thing?
That can be surprising if you dig into it.

Before I moved to a smaller town, there was a grocery store I bought regularly from due to optimal location and relatively middle-level prices. I was pretty sociable back then, and befriended some employees. This eventually led to them warning me about buying meat on certain days - turns out, they were forced to wash stale meat with detergent to erase the bad smell, and sell it as fresh. I recently confirmed it with one of the ex-employees, turns out their manager actually opposed that, but this was forced by the higher ups in the management of the whole shop chain.

That, and bunch of other stories (some second-hand, some first-hand), essentially ruined my trust in regular small business.

Calling the field "statistical pattern matching" might be underselling it a bit, even if technically accurate on some level. I mean, syntax/semantics are clearly not the problem, those are the easiest to learn (see the paper above). If anything, I'm scared of it writing syntactically correct nonsense (or even worse, subtly-flawed-but-correct-looking code).

Does that really happen? They jail you in the USA?

In Canada I've admitted suicidal plans on multiple occasions to doctors, psychologists, and once even the police. On two of these occasions I was sent to the psychiatric emergency room, but only for as long as it took to assess that I was no longer a harm to myself. The first time that took an afternoon, the second time it took a couple days. After that I went home, no repercussions.
I find that interesting, because you could probably classify physical location revelation attacks with other timing-based attacks for which we've had to resort to constant-time algorithms (e.g. key protection via constant-time cryptographic operations).

There's an interesting fundamental tradeoff somewhere between optimization and information. If you make things as efficient as possible, you'll probably leak information.
A hypothetical scenario, where I am interested in hearing your opinion:

A citizen recently returned from Liberia is diagnosed with Ebola and dies in the hospital. The family requests a christian burial, but the health protection agency decides against it, as the risk of disease transmission would be significant. Instead the body is treated as a biohazard and cremated, as a precaution to prevent additional deaths.

In this scenario, is it unreasonable that the state have greater right to the body than the next of kin? Should the family have been allowed to proceed with a christian burial, regardless of the potential deaths it might cause?

I think you agree that there are at least some scenarios were the state should be able to seize the rights over a body.

You might draw the line at saving people from Ebola, but I don't think it's entirely unreasonable for others to also include saving people from organ failure in that category.

Taxes are there to provide a base demand for the currency. Imagine the money supply as a bathtub. Government spending is a tap and taxes are a drain. You want the water line to be just right for a given economic growth. The government doesn't need to tax to spend, but why would you accept it's currency as payment for goods the government demands? Because you owe the government a tax in that currency! This system was figured out thousands of years ago.

Turns out banks also create money, not just government. 97% of money in circulation is actually bank credit. (banks have a special legal right here)

In other words, when you take out a loan, you increase thr money supply!

But anyway, without taxes (the threat of physical hardship) you don't have the base demand for a currency.

Governments hold the monopoly on money because they also hold the guns. I can't create my own money because that would be illegal (because for my money to gain traction I would need to tax too, just like the government)

Cheers.
"dang", is it okay if I call this a stupid argument?

Someone is comparing social shaming for hate speech and lies and defamation - to someone getting physically raped.

So someone who willfully, repeatedly, taunts murder victims' families, spreads lies and conspiracy theories, and feeds off the attention of the mentally ill - getting taken off private platforms that not only host his content for free, but earn him money:

Is the same as telling a woman she somehow deserves getting raped.

Grow the fuck up.
I don't think that's true. Eventually, we'll have implants.

> What do you consider extremely rare? 13% of private sector employees still participate in a pension plan.

Down from 18%, ~7 years before, when 39% and growing of those who still had pensions in the private sector had non-traditional pensions that weren't pure specified-benefit plans, but instead were (for the vast majority of non-traditional plans) hybrid cash-balance plans where the actual benefit is determined by investment returns through the point of retirement (basically, a defined contribution plan where the accumulated balance is used to purchase an annuity at retirement.)

https://www.epi.org/blog/private-sector-pension-coverage-dec...

IIRC, a big part of the decline being that for many private employers, pensions, especially traditional ones, are legacy plans that haven't been offered to employees for decades, and are only available to employees that have been working with the firm since they were generally available.
You may not see this as obvious, but 560 euros per month is a lot as an unrestricted grant to low-income folks. It may not be enough to stay at home and play video games, but it's easy to supplement with even low-intensity, part-time work. That's pretty much what many low-income folks need; a manageable on-ramp towards full participation in the labor market. UBI is a game changer, even and perhaps especially at these "low" levels.

While this article touches on eyesight, it seems like it's quite a myopic view of the issue (see what I did there? ;)

But seriously, we spend over half of our "healthy years" staring at a screen? This should be begging deep philosophical questions

- How do you want to spend your life?

- When you look back at your life, how do you want to have used your time?

- What is important to you?

Some questions I struggled with when I went on a sabbatical was "what makes me feel alive, really alive?"

Ironically, my answer for many months was,
"I don't know, but it's not staring at a screen."

Many other people's answered things like "rock climbing", "sky diving", "going dancing", and I think those are pretty decent answers, but mine settled on "anything that makes me grow".

I also thoroughly spending time with other people in real human-to-human interaction. This feels like a huge slap-in-the-face wakeup call.

Burnout: What is it and how to Treat it
Much of this could be legislated away.

The cost would be "creativity" but consider the gains.

Think of a database where there are no rules for how data is entered, no formats, no validation, nothing. Sure, it allows maximum creativity for the input but its value as a source of information can actually be less than if strict rules were enforced.

The web is largely unstructured data precisely because there are few if any rules for input. This makes it extremely difficult to manage as an information source. Few companies, let alone individual users, can even attempt to wrangle it into something useful. Every website is potentially "unique" in so many ways.

Even something as simple as a uniform, standard web form for e-commerce could be a vast improvement. No more differences between ordering from Amazon versus everywhere else. With a standard format for collecting payment information that does not vary from merchant to merchant, there could be significant gains. Predictability. Easier to design intercompatibility.

As always, feel free to shoot this idea down. "It will never work because ...." or "That already exists..."

However no one can deny there are huge problems with the haphazard way things are done today. Complaints about such things form a large part of each day's HN commentary.

Sometimes creativity is not the best thing. Certainly it is unrestrained "creativity" that allows many "dark pattern" to exist.
This would be a great idea. Could probably have larger and more beneficial results than the government just funding research projects.
Could this meandering obfuscating "argumentation" stop? The people arguing for the law are putting up an extremely embarrassing intellectual show here.

They snipe, engage in "organ shaming", change lines of argumentation, move goalposts and generally behave like indoctrinated teenagers who picked up some lines in a course.

Part of that trust is based on military power, but much of it is trust in the people and government and judiciary of the US to do the consistent (and perhaps “right”) thing most of the time (compared to other governments around the world).
Exactly. This kind of lying is like return-oriented programming attack. Technically you didn't lie to them, didn't inject them with malicious payload straight up - you just crafted your input to guarantee their mental process generates the malicious payload (the lie) for them.
I've been dating someone online for the last two months and I agree there is something missing, perhaps something chemical, that can't be transmitted over a screen and a speaker. But your viewpoint seems a bit too myopic. Humans are exceptional at adapting, and our brains are brilliant at filling in the blanks. I have no doubt that people can have deep and meaningful interpersonal communication without being face to face. I know I have many times, and I have certainly experienced intense emotion with people remotely, and built trust, and felt my social needs sated (if not my physical needs, specifically sex).

Maybe reconsider the idea that it is a problematic simulation, because it's really no more a simulation that how our brains translate vibrations and light waves into sounds and pictures in the first place. If video chat is an illusion, then so is face to face communication, as neither one is an unfiltered experience. The filter of standing two feet from someone is only marginally different than the filter of a video chat. The real filter, the one doing the heavy lifting in both cases, is our brains translating the raw data of the physical world into our lived experience.
