I have nothing against linux.

But for mission critical tasks I will choose FreeBSD. I have seen too many times linux distributions (Linus is sane - distributions decisions on the other hand are making me scratch my head just too often) pulling "Crazy Ivan" and I really dislike it.

For FreeBSD I know I wont encounter any nasty suprises and I consider it paramount. And once you encounter some jewels like setfib (https://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/1/SETFIB/) you just fall in love <3
You can definitely increase correctness of the final product with more and more up front specs.

There's an understanding/level-of-detail hurdle that I've run into a lot: people have a desire to over-pseudocode and under-specify in usual design decisions. If you really want to get a good spec that will result in both good estimates and avoid surprises in terms of "whoops, this won't work actually" then you need to get really detailed here.

There's also a business one. Most businesses don't have quite as exact requirements as "fly to this point in space" or such. And often, the requirements iterate with user feedback. Or you try five things and see which users like the most. So the extra time delays really add up, when there's already a bunch of stuff going on behind the scenes than just the final feature that launches to the general public. If you're in this discovery phase, perfect is the enemy of "learning," and learning is what you need.
Like any tool, TS has tradeoffs. I wrote an extended blog post about my own experience learning and using TS, and I listed a set of takeaways and lessons learned at the end:

I also have a shorter summary of some of the pros and cons of using TS in my "JS for Java Devs" slides, here:

Master branch refers to a master copy, like in the recording industry. While I'm very much in favor of removing symbolism that evokes past injustice, this feels misguided to me.

It has nothing to do with the master/slave terminology, which does come up in the context of database replication and which should certainly be removed from CS textbooks.
Yes, if we had unlimited resources and could give each student an individualized exam, oral and written under supervision, then plagiarism detection of tech wouldn't be necessary, but if you're trying to stretch a budget...
Digital Ocean is like $5 a month. If that's too much money for you, then hosting at home is probably your best option. Downside is that you're going to spend all your time figuring out how to manage your own server.
This is not an absolute truth, and many countries would disagree with your interpretation of discrimination.

For instance in France regarding B2B sales:

"Constitue également une discrimination toute distinction opérée entre les personnes morales sur le fondement de l'origine, du sexe, de la situation de famille, de la grossesse, de l'apparence physique, de la particulière vulnérabilité résultant de la situation économique, apparente ou connue de son auteur, du patronyme, du lieu de résidence, de l'état de santé, de la perte d'autonomie, du handicap, des caractéristiques génétiques, des mœurs, de l'orientation sexuelle, de l'identité de genre, de l'âge, des opinions politiques, des activités syndicales, de la capacité à s'exprimer dans une langue autre que le français, de l'appartenance ou de la non-appartenance, vraie ou supposée, à une ethnie, une Nation, une prétendue race ou une religion déterminée des membres ou de certains membres de ces personnes morales."

This clearly states that you cannot refuse to sell a product or to a company on political grounds, just like you can't refuse to sell to a Jewish association because they are Jewish, or to a Italian company because you don't trust Italians.
I instantly thought about eye tracking experiments, in which we see lots of small movements around an area, then big jumps across the screen. I guess others have thought about it too.

I'm intrigued.
> Last time I tried (open)BSD

Sorry, but OpenBSD and FreeBSD are very different operating systems, it's not just "different distros" like in the Linux world

Whatever you tried in OpenBSD has most likely no relation to FreeBSD

Speaking of the things you mentioned, I personally would expect suspend/resume to just work out of the box in the latest OpenBSD, but not necessary in FreeBSD (it was never a priority for the developers).

You also don't need wpa_supplicant in OpenBSD (unlike FreeBSD), ifconfig should be enough in most cases.

For the battery life, you certainly gonna need some tuning, as it's not a config priority by default, but generally (on mainstream hardware) you should be able to reach at least 80%-sh battery life comparing to Linux in OpenBSD, and comparable to Linux in FreeBSD
Guarding information and guarding physical assets have one thing in common. It is largely a passive exercise in waiting for something to happen. For this reason it is very boring and unreliable. The only way to improve the situation is to have active and random drills when someone attempts to steal the assets. This would make the work of the Blue team a lot more rewarding rather than just be relegated to mindless blocking access to anything and everything.
For an example of it being not just common but in some cases required to dismiss women when they married, see "The Marriage Bar" at https://civilservant.org.uk/women-history.html
I wouldn't consider Santa Cruz to be part of SV and definitely not Davis. There are plenty of significant educational institutions in the Bay Area and even more if you expand the net to Northern California, but SV's prominence is driven more by the location there of early tech companies than any educational drivers outside of Stanford (although Stanford is very important).
I did the potato hack for a while, which is a mono diet that uses potatoes. I definitely lost weight, but lost muscle too. I might try it again as a 1-2 day "plateau buster" for some excess fat I'm trying to lose.

I also did IF (16:8) as a way to curb snacking. I think both approaches are a really good way to reacquaint yourself with eating to sate hunger rather than eating for stimulation/pleasure.

Ultimately the "experiment" that has played out the best for me has been this old saw: 3 meals a day, 0-2 snacks. No ultra-processed foods and very few processed foods (based on the NOVA classification system). 5+ servings of veggies a day. 1-3 servings of fruit. Keep added/refined sugar intake under 15 grams a day and no sweets, period. I'm very slowly but steadily losing fat, while maintaining plenty of energy for my exercise regimen.
>As a species, we're approaching the time where we've obviated evolution.

This is hubris. Everything that humanity may accomplish in the future, from editing its own genome to creating general artificial intelligence, is a product of that same evolutionary process. We do all that out of our innate need for self preservation and reproduction—evolutionary imperatives for all organisms.

But it’s more accurate to think of evolution as a universal computational process occurring within the substrate of (bio)chemistry. That computation will yield further computation (intelligence and its products).
I'm sorry it came out this way, it means we have no shared history and values that we can rely on in a discussion

I was replying to

> So structural racism has ended?

The obvious answer would have been "does it end if we remove master/slave from tech terminology?"

But I wanted to give more context, because I believe people can and will understand things when they learn about them in a deeper way

Racism and slavery are two completely different problems, the first existed before races were even considered a thing (for like thousands of years, you might not understand the difference, but 7-8 thousands of years is a really loooong time, imagine that Egyptians to Romans were older than Romans are to us today!), the former hasn't died when slavery was abolished.

Is slavery in the US the worst episode of dehumanisation we can think of, when literally the Nazis no more than 80 years ago were slaughtering and torturing in concentration camps millions of innocent people just because they didn't like them?

They were kept behind walls and deprived of any humanity that was left. I don't think I need to make the list of the atrocities they suffered...

There are no stories of free slaves or good masters that led them have their own piece of land in some plantation in Virginia.

The few that came back have lived among us, they are our grandparents, parents, uncles ...

We've heard their stories, we didn't just read them on books.

My dad met his father (my grandfather) when he was 5, he was captured by Nazis and believed dead.

I never met him because he died young, from the consequences of the imprisonment.

So please don't assume we cannot understand.

Racism and slavery sometimes can fuel each other, but generally slavery is a tribal thing, racism is philosophy gone bad.

Even Gandhi has been criticized for being racist, he didn't enslave anybody, did he?

You can have racism without slavery and slavery without racism

That was the point
I'd prefer having a half-baked option, as opposed to not having an app for something.

$99 per year seems quite a lot, if you are not planning on making money with the apps.
Heh, I just started The Dragon Reborn on my 3rd read-through. I have noticed the chapters aren't right, but it hasn't really bothered me. What does your workflow look like when fixing these? Is there a way to share chapter corrections so others can apply them to their files?
FreeBSD is a delight to run, I use an old AMD build to host Plex, PiHole and some other services in bhyve VMs. Keep a copy of Absolute FreeBSD around for physical reference just like the 90s.
Yeah, that was what I was worried about. Given how the past four years prove you can purchase a major U.S. political party for clearance prices, the bilateral security agreement underpinning Taiwan’s freedom may be gone when it’s needed most. Beijing is much richer than Moscow is, and smarter too. I sense the opportunity is just too good to pass up.

I love Taiwan and its people, and I hope everything stays peaceful and will do my part to keep it that way like voting and writing policymakers, but if I’m an expat I wouldn’t be emotionally invested in a total war for survival.

Well, all the effort is regularly defeated by poor hardware - you can have 40ms latecy in the video call stack, but when people attach Bluetooth headphones which buffer everything for 300ms there's nothing really to be done.

John Carmack recently commented on the ubiquity of FFMPEG:
https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1258531455220609025

FFMPEG is amazing. I don't think that it's the only game in town, but there it's the best by far.
Top 9% of students in the state have UC guarantee (https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requi...) by pure test scores and grades.

Yeah, you might not get Berkeley, but an A+ student is guaranteed admission to a UC. The profile you describe is far better than the average student at UCR and would be quite competitive at Davis or Irvine.

Did something fall through here? Did she not even apply to a mid-tier "safety school"?
I don't remember any pure delta-winged Starscream, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one.

All of the Starscreams I remember have prominent horzontal tail surfaces (the one I owned as a kid was very F-15ish but he's also been patterned after the Su-35, the F-16 and the F-22.
Seems like demand is pretty low for the Model S, I don't think 5k will sway a rich person to pick a very old design.
Ive been sending them data for almost 15 years. It sucked to open the app one day and be served an ad for premium paid features.
German national, but still take it just my personal opinion. I would say maybe, of course not officially. Depends on your public profile, if you tending towards the extremes it would have a greater impact. Same would go for being on the extreme left, so. It also depends on the company you apply to.

Just being a known, but bot very outspoken member, wouldn't have too much of an impact.
If someone wants a website that lists their company hours and has a contact form, that’s pretty much a known amount of hours for an experienced web dev. That’s about the equivalent of asking a carpenter to put in a door.

If someone wants a custom built order and inventory management system, that’s like asking a carpenter to build a custom 4 story house from some napkin sketches.

The whole reason computers are valuable is because they automate away all of the rote, repeated, predictable stuff. The unpredictable part of SWE is not comparable to carpentry, it’s more easily compared to architecture/engineering where the problem statements are vague and most of the job is getting agreements on what the thing will actually be. The carpentry part of programming is mostly predictable.

It would be smart to capitalise while Intel is struggling because Intel won't struggle forever they have too much money and too long a history.

I was around when the AMD64 was battering the P4 and then Intel came out with the C2D an architecture they are still using which gave them a decade of owning the top/mid in desktops, pretty much all the laptop market and vast majority of servers.

Better to be out ahead when Intel comes back swinging.
If nothing else you'll hear news about it if the study looks promising
I’ve found that feeding 2x a week is really the sweet spot for starter. As for recipes, I recommend you kneed in the bowl and use the following

60g 100% hydration starter fed 18-24 hrs before
300g water
450g all purpose Costco flour or equivalent

Mix it up in a bowl till it’s not clumpy and let it sit 30min or so (15-120 min seems to work)

Add 12g salt and mix it in by folding the dough over in the bowl till it forms a ball
Wait 10-30 min or so
Repeat folding 2-3 times when convenient
Shape into ball, let rise for a couple hours then shove it in the fridge top self overnight covered

In the morning take it out, fold it cold just enough to make a loaf shape transfer to banetonne, cover.

Preheat over to max and put in crock pot to preheat.

Wait 1-2 hrs

Transfer flowered cutting board. Score and transfer to crockpot

Bake 20 min covered @500 reduce temp to 425 20 uncovered

I did come across a study once which argued this. You feel more productive when tired and stressed but in reality you are less productive.
> After all, part of Zen Budhism is accepting who you are and your limitations.

The teaching is that all beings are capable of enlightenment and outlines a path to accomplish that. The concept of "you" is part of the problem and meditation on sunyata can offer insight to that.
I’m a procrastinator that used a schedule to help minimize it but this work from home has really hindered it.

Keeping a schedule when I work eat and play in the same space is a lot harder than I imagined.
I've known a large number of Catholic sisters over the years. They've been, without exception, some of the most interesting people I've ever known. When my mom was in the hospital last year, she had regular visits from an 89-year-old sister who came just to chat, even though my mom isn't Catholic (and there was no attempt to proselytize, I should add). It as more just a case of she enjoyed being able to provide socialization with the elderly women who were in the hospital.

Well it depends on what rmason plans to do with it.
The market is saying the US is better doing other things.

It would be as if in the late 70s deciding we had to subsidize supercomputer and mainframe computer development, to hire all these talented engineers who were wasting time building and programming kit computers and “pc”s that could never be as important to our economy, and our “technological leadership”.

We can’t industrial plan the future.
Depends on the country and what they're guarding. Most places you can only fire on people to protect humans and not property so if Spot is the only one there it won't matter anyway.

Plus it could probably kick the shit out of someone if the software allowed it.
That sounds like you're sharing a single file at a time, which has decent OS integration. If you had a directory of PDFs that you wanted to sync with Dropbox and open with a reader on your Android, I'd wager that's impossible these days.

Based on the downvotes, I guess HN is a bunch of adamant test-loving folks. I guess this kind of open discussion isn't welcome here.
LLVM should optimize tailcalls and sibcalls. But tail call optimization has unexpected interactions with the extended RAII that Rust uses because stuff has to be dropped at the end of its lifetime, so the code that's running in "tail" position is sometimes not what you expect.

Chinese engine improvement has not been rapid by any measure. China still has to import the majority of high performance fighter engines from Russia (primarily the AL-31). China has been trying to develop the WS-15 as a replacement for almost 30 years, and still relies upon the AL-31 for their premier stealth fighter (J-20).

They have started to deploy the WS-10 Taihang engine for their J-10 fighter, but the performance of this engine is markedly worse than comparable Western engines. Military grade engines are hard!

I'd argue that the reason Apple devices are so popular is because of the restrictions that ensure quality. Would your app have any potential to make money on the App Store if there wasn't a huge customer base?

> No more downloadable exes or installers

So it's harder for a user to get a virus or some malicious App? Great. If Apple allows a service, it means they back it in a sense and people trust Apple. Would you really back a bunch of different stores with content you can't verify?

> Microsoft can delete all programs from your PC remotely if they feel like it

And lose their customer base? Sure? That's so unrealistic.

> You have to pay Microsoft every year for the privilege of developing on their platform

Grocery chains charge for shelf space. Also the fee is $99. There's also some fee waivers available.

> If you charge for your app, Microsoft takes 30% of your revenue

So you don't want to pay to be on the store and you don't want to pay to make money off their platform. They're just supposed to maintain a curated and near seamless platform for free? Are you suggesting users just pay more?

Also, I'm seeing 30% thrown around a lot. It's 30% for a year and 15% after that, let's be clear about that.

> Your app may be rejected or removed from the store at any time

If theres a random app on my phone discovered to be malicious, PLEASE delete it.

> Apple makes crazy amounts of money off the backs of developers

Ok then how much money would YOU be ok with them making? What's the cutoff? Would you be ok with your app being capped in how much money it could make? I don't think so.

> ..being paid for their devices and software by consumers
Consumers pay directly for devices, not software. The only software they indirectly pay for is the 30%/15% fee that devs have to take into consideration.

Let's stop pretending that 95% of users have any degree of technical literacy and that there's no value in what an App Store provides. I'm glad my non-technical friends and family don't have to worry about viruses or phishing as much after switching to Apple.

If you really don't like these things as a user, then jailbreak or use Android or the Ubuntu phone or something. There's alternatives.

Also, if using iOS/OSX was like using Windows, I wouldn't use it.
The UI needs to be such so as to make the users understand that by clicking a column header they would be sorting the results of a previous query rather than re-running it with a different sort column and that the two are not generally interchangeable, likewise with instant in-results search.

At least with the server being on the internet and the example setup I disagree that the current way is faster or even near a modern webui
Either no UI, or using system standard frameworks and APIs (no custom UI stuff, and absolutely no Electron garbage).

If Dropbox had remained the same as it did back in the early days and focused on
continuing to only update the product to be faster and more reliable and not adding additional features, it would have still been great. (Unrealistic considering that the investors need to get their ROI.)
It’s hard to overestimate the gigantic /smack in the face/ that Akira was when it came out on screen. Much of us had only seen Disneyish / childish stuff so far, and even adult-themed animation was cartoonish in nature. And here walks in the room bikers hitting themselves in the face with steel bars, incredibly detailed sets, flawless animation (Akira was 24 fps on one), exotic graphism and insane music. I skipped class once in my life. It was to take the train and go to the big city to see Akira.
Proof is in the pudding :-)
