> A lot of stuff to get your head around. There are complex topics from category theory to metaprograming. Sure you can ignore it - until you want to use a web framework that uses those concepts, then it's on you.

I'm convinced this is just FUD. Every language's main web framework has a bunch of complex concepts to learn - if you want to use Rails you're going to have to learn about ActiveRecord, metaclasses, whatever it is that rails uses for routing. By the time you've got productive in an enterprise-scale codebase, you've learnt just as much as if you were using Haskell - the only difference is that the knowledge is less transferable.

Do you though? The transparent png use case is largely being replaced by svg.

There are some situations where transparency is legitimately needed but im not sold it can justify webp and all that comes with it.
As a fellow Finn who is also on Github sponsors, you would be correct if this would constitute as collecting money. Earnings through Github sponsors go through Stripe and have to be declared as income and is taxed as such. You have to fill out your tax information to get an North American tax card and after that, it's basically identical to income you get from abroad.
In general it’s not a bad policy.

Jayson Blair at NYT, Janet Cooke at WaPo, Stephen Glass at the New Republic all fabricated people and stories. Putting in a real name is insurance against that.

HN isn’t the appropriate venue to do that nor should that very important burden be placed on them. There are numerous organizations setup to assist people in the exact circumstances you speak of, however.
Events lately have encouraged me to consider the nature of narrative, and the phenomenon of how human society collectively synthesizes meaning out of data. I wonder if there is any formalized research into how computer science concepts may model this. I've also long held feelings that compsci and information theory may reveal a solid theory of everything, including conscious experience and I wonder if anyone has seriously chased up that line of curiosity.
If you are trying to run 64 bit Mac binaries on the next generation Mac, that's not Paralllels, that's Rosetta which is built into the next version of MacOS.

Parallels lets you run an operating system on top of your operating system. But based on Apple's docs, it won't support emulating Intel CPUs well enough to run an x86 virtual machine, it will only run operating systems which run on ARM.
2 hours, I think -- which is essentially nothing.
The problem is always standards. I want transparency to work correctly everywhere, not just in one application and broken everywhere else.

Even if transparency was add to JPEG right now, it would take sometime to become available everywhere, and you would have tons of legacy devices showing broken transparency.

The advantage of a new format that supports transparency from is interception is that every device that is compatible with it will display it correctly. So there is no issue with some devices supporting the format partially.

It's a promotional incentive. Fees will happen, and matching will end. But in the meantime, it means my sponsoring a project I care about magnifies my money for a cause I value, so I'm happy to participate.
It's a good service, but I think the GP's point is that it's not trivial to do. Lots of websites probably went down because they missed that e-mail and we've seen lots of major websites go down due to some issue related to their certificate.

Let's Encrypt has lowered the bar, but it's still a bar that needs to be overcome.
Thanks. I think I'm a little gun shy right now because last I checked into this (2013ish?) My coworkers were very much Vive over Oculus. I don't want to box myself in on a losing platform, but I guess this is like any other tech. You're going to be leapfrogged at some point.
The sky in autumn is high
The sky in autumn is very high, as if Pangu is still supporting the heavens and the earth; the sky is blue, as if a painter had painted blue paint in the sky.

Autumn is the harvest season. Soybeans, corn, and sorghum have all matured, and they have stooped.
I’d say it depends on your app. For something in Java, Python, Ruby, JS, PHP... probably. For something compiled natively, I’d be more concerned.

I have all three (WT1J) and I found them to be thin on digital signaling, SDRs, and understanding real world signals. I’d suggest getting a cheap SDR and starting here: https://greatscottgadgets.com/sdr/

I disagree with this, sort of completely, after having been attacked by an animal. There is millions of years of evolution that will wake up and save you from getting hurt as it recognizes what's happening and instantly formulates a response to it.

> India? You think they have the disease under control?

I said they've had a plan and they've tried to fight. Exhibit A: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/14/the-coronaviru... It'll ultimately overcome India, but it won't be because they waved the white flag like the US appears to have done.

> China most likely has had more deaths than the US,

China would have to underreport deaths by 20x to approach the American death toll. Covering up that many deaths doesn't seem possible. It makes me feel like you're just arguing in bad faith.

And even if China had exactly as many deaths as the US, they'd still be 3.5x better on a per capita basis. Despite being more densely populated, poorer, and likely having a population with more pre-existing respiratory issues due to more pollution. That's how poorly the US has performed in this whole affair.
There's a lot of bad shit going on in the world. I really don't have room to care about this.
clickbait title. fluffy content.
On the contrary, my parents were never able to use texting on old mobile phones or even 2013-era smartphones. but now they easily are able to do video-calls, voice-calls on today's smartphones and apps.

They are also able to make payments using code scanning and normal transfer through the ease to use interface.

And this is in Myanmar, where we barely had internet for public use 10 years ago.
What is this? I have been investigating the suspicious hosting company behind this whole nonsense for a while. YCombinator's expansion into China as well as its connections with Reddit have made me consider giving up, because now like everybody, even the small European countries no one remembers when it comes to cyber outside of Estonia, are investigating them. They will get the job done :)

Considering Credit Karma and Wilson Sonini are now almost suing me, I like to think I get results from what I've published.

Oh and so is Perkins Coie, but again, they won't file the civil suit for Wyze even though a good amount of emails I have sent asking them.

Fun fact, the new video drone platform from DJI is called...Ryze.

FYI, I have begged CK to please sue me, and have weighed filing a lawsuit myself, simply to enter legal discovery. It never happens though. I wonder what they are avoiding?

I have told them over and over any lawsuit would be for $1 and I want no money.

Maybe it is this?

> Businesses that rely on the border between OR and WA would sue for relief in a hot minute.

So if you gave them relief preemptively they'd be OK, right?

In any case, you don't need border closures. Even things like suspending or massively reducing domestic air travel, introducing compulsory self-quarantine upon arrival in a new state etc. might be better than doing nothing. I'm not an expert, but it seems like we never even tried.
> There are no bad apples here

I don't understand. You're saying that individual police members are not at fault for their actions? That the police institution is rotten (barrel) but stops at the individual officer (apple)?

I 100% agree that the barrel is rotten, but there are plenty of bad individuals as a result of the barrel being rotten for so long.

A way to test this, change the 'barrel' and see which 'apples' stick around. i.e. if all apples are good changing the barrel doesn't result in difference in apples just the apples' actions.

We're already seeing #bluflu, walk outs, resignations because in some specific areas of the country, the barrel is being changed out piece by piece.

I disagree that apples are not bad. Lots of them are. It'll be a painful transition, but it will be one for better if we can keep it up.

This is a common approach in the Coq ecosystem, writing DSls for building things, and custom automation for them. See for instance papers by Adam Chlipala.

How does one's right to be forgotten apply when there's no true link to one's identity? Does it apply to pseudonyms, as well?

Because it will disadvantage people coming on H1Bs for non-software jobs.

May be grouping by job-type, location(cost of living concern) and then stack ranked might be better solution.

Although, who’s to then decide how many software engineers or artists to be allowed? Not an easy answer for sure.

Im okay with that. One should assume a transparent community and remove any hints to the real identity just in case. One can easily create a separate email address for HN or just use one for this type of semi anonymous identity on internet: HN, reddit, etc
You can mail the mods to "anonymize" your account by changing the username to a random-ish string.

I still suspect that HN is not compliant with CCPA (the Californian GDPR) though, specifically that you can "request a business to delete any personal information about a consumer collected from that consumer".
I've been a nix guy since 1983. Worked for a major nix player, wrote end user application software on the platform, built chip design software on the platform, wrote device drivers for all kinds of hardware, system admin for years and years, etc. etc. I'm not some newb who just fell off the truck.

In many way *nix is still stuck in 1983 because it's a craftsman's platform, which is why there 10,000 distros, oops 10,001, no 10,002, oh 10,003, ugh! Linux is great on servers, because all servers require craftsman for the care and feeding, and Linux is so much better than Windows in that regard.

I gave up my Linux machines because I'm no longer interested in being my own sys admin. Frankly I was done being my own sys admin back in the 90's but I felt the need to keep my propeller spinning, and stay true to my geek roots.

In 2008 I bought a Mac Pro 8 core machine, and that's still kicking, my son uses it for Machine Learning as part of his graduate program, and it's just as fast now as when I first bought it. It was left behind with the last OS upgrade, but it will work just fine for another 4 or 5 years on the old OS.

In 2009 I still had a Linux laptop, but it was painful back then. With SnowLeopard it became easier to create an maintain a Hackintosh then it was to manage a Linux laptop I was off Linux for good.

For a hobbyist(craftsman) Linux is great, for a server that needs craftsman, Linux is great, for a consumer, buy a Mac.
I’m with you on this, and don’t like the fact that delete windows for comments and posts is quite short and that accounts (along with content) cannot be deleted. This is why I never put any personal or demographic details in my comments here.

HN is also not a platform that changes much over long periods of time (in UI, UX or policies). So don’t keep your hopes up on this one being dealt with as you’d like it to be. HN the platform does not keep up with the times as much as you’d expect it to be for a platform with deep pockets behind it (don’t bring up Facebook in comparison; that’s a downright malicious platform). “The right to be forgotten” is a stranger here.

I’ve seen in past discussions that HN wants to preserve conversations and doesn’t want to delete content, especially if it means making threads meaningless. Imagine deleting a reply to a comment based on a request that in turn has replies from others beneath it. The people who posted those replies may not want their content to be deleted. I’ve seen platforms deal with this in different ways. Facebook deals with it by removing the entire comment thread or subthread when the top comment is deleted. Reddit deals with it by removing only that specific comment (marking it as deleted) and leaving replies dangling without any context.

The other side of the coin is that HN is not a platform you or I own. So the platform is well within its rights (up to legal limits) to do anything with your content.

People must really understand that anything they put on the web is susceptible to stay forever in corners they may not even be aware of. The content you post may also be mirrored on the Internet Archive with time based snapshots without your knowledge. The Internet Archive doesn’t have an easy way to request for deletion (or even exclusion from being archived). If you send emails, sometimes you get asked to provide more proof (like invoices for domain registrations) even after you’ve provided evidence of ownership through other means (without exposing personal information). Is the Internet Archive wrong to copy content and make it difficult (or impossible) to remove it from its databases? The answer depends on who you ask. You’d also find people who have different views on how it ought to be on HN vs. Internet Archive.

What people and platforms cannot seem to agree on is what content truly belongs to you in a way you can edit, delete and modify it as you please and have that be the only version that everyone else sees.

Those topics may be minor, but also formative, especially given their impact.
I went for a two day solo walk at the end of April. I took the same path I had taken the same time the year before. At the hight of pandemic uncertainty it was a reprieve from the constant worry(even though there were no local cases). Being conspicuously foreign I had a few interesting reactions from people along the way. Some old folks just telling me to be safe from animals, some kids dutifully guiding me to the village bus stop on the way back wanting to see inside my pack, and trying to remember social distancing, and one couple on an abandoned walking track being completely surprised to see me and rushing past with towels held to mouth.
My big takeaway was how wide and imposing roads are, how noisy cars are, how much people miss when they drive from place A to B, how much things can change year to year, how far away the next town really is if you're using human energy, and how so many peoples experience of the landscape is buy all the right gear from the magazine and then go somewhere to kill something.

You’re missing the point of HN
I do not know where you live but in the BeNeLux, as far as I know, getting a new car for less than 10k € is not gonna to happen. Used cars is another story and can be more "competitive" in pricing with e-bikes.
The whole point of Haiku is a holistic approach to system design, so no, you cannot easily replace the window manager. You can, however, write "decorator" plugins which draw different window borders, write shortcut plugins for "tiling", etc.

It indeed does not use GPU acceleration; Haiku as a whole does not have 3D drivers either (but there are plans.)
that's because you get to use bike infrastructure and play by bicycle rules but not ride a bicycle. As soon as a large enough group of people did the same everyone on a bike-style coveyance would be stuck in traffic with no place to park.
Not discounting your experiences but I really have not found any of what you described as a problem.

Except for the very prominent clone button, I really have not felt it has brought anything negative.

What's interesting to me after reading a bunch of the threads here is that consumers are constantly re-evaluating your product.

Mac became popular, not because of hackers, but because it was a great platform for doing graphic design and artwork. Apple put a lot of time and energy into the human factor and it paid off. That and the iphone basically saved the brand from extinction.

It's clear that apple is moving the same direction that Windows did years ago where they're putting the mobile OS on the desktop. I'm wondering how this is going to pay off for desktop/server users. Apples fortunes are in mobile and they're basically ballooning their mobile device inventory with multiple form factors.

I think a lot of what keeps apple users buying more expensive laptops/servers is because they simply 'work'. However, apple has been sneaking in a lot of annoying features that I would expect on mobile devices but I have come to dislike on a desktop. No i don't want my email address tied to my purchases, no I don't some random device in my house popup with a MFA code, no I don't want what I do on my home laptop sync'ed to every mobile device I own.

Usability and human design has always been the 'win' for apple and it's what Linux/Windows can never match (because they don't control all the parts for a uniform customer experience). However, there has always been a line between phones and mobiles devices. That line is in the fact that my laptop doesn't have a GSM/CDMA cell device in it. Because it would be "silly" to take calls on a laptop (i guess). I'm not sure I really like this line blurred. I'm not really sure that my laptop is just another IoT device running the same OS making annoying popups and tweets that I have to cancel while I'm working.

Anywho there is an intangible distinction between a laptop and a phone and by blurring this line I think some people might begin to dislike it. There are other options out there.

If you’re talking about running x86 on a VM on Apple’s chips, I doubt it.

Fascinating stuff.
Aha. I missed that.
just like Teams got marketshare
sharing some thoughts here, in that I am recently developing a similar thing:

1. "Query 1.6B rows in milliseconds, live" is just like "sum 1.6B numbers from memory in ms".

In fact, if not full SQL functionalities supported, a naive SQL query is just some tight loop on top of arrays(as partitions for naive data parallelism) and multi-core processors.

So, this kind is just several-line benchmark(assumed to ignore the data preparing and threading wrapping) to see how much time the sum loop can finish.

In fact again, this is just a naive memory bandwidth bench code.

Let's count: now the 6-channel xeon-sp can provide ~120GB/s bandwidth. Then sum loop with 1.6B 4-byte ints without compression in such processors' memory could be finished about ~1.6*4/120 ~= 50ms.

Then, if you find that you get 200ms in xxx db, you in fact has wasted 75% time(150ms) in other things than your own brew a small c program for such toy analysis.

2. Some readers like to see comparisons to ClickHouse(referred as CH below).

The fact is that, CH is a little slow for such naive cases here(seen at web[1] been pointed by guys).

This is because CH is a real world product. All optimizations here are ten- year research and usage in database industry and all included in CH and much much more.

Can you hold such statement in the title when you enable reading from persistent disk? or when doing a high-cardinality aggregation in the query(image that low-cardinality aggregation is like as a tight loop + hash table in L2)?

The typical way to preserve content upon account deletion is just to remove the displayed username from the posts, but keep the content. I don’t see why that couldn’t apply here also.
> Linux support is likely much more important to Mac users, likely by a large margin

I very much doubt that. Maybe for the HN crowd of web developers, but for normal users, embedded/desktop developers, basically everyone else, Windows is more important.
That's pretty much all it ends up stopping. Some hacker-wannabe that sets up a honey pot is going to be thwarted by HTTPS. But if we don't connect to shady hot spots HTTPS doesn't seem to provide that much protection. It runs into the problem of anyone that can MITM via your ISP or home router probably has the resources to also find an exploit around HTTPS.
I don’t disagree with you by the way. I find virtue signaling to be rather useless (if not outright harmful to helping causes).
To me it seems like the electric scooter (Bird, Lime etc or private scooters) is more the replacement for Segway, than an e-bike.

E-bike is more likely to replace a car trip.
