Yes and can they sue for this too? Not sure how it works but this does sound it is like creating unfair stress for people to have to now defend themselves because they retweeted something or expressed an opinion on twitter.
But even by city standards, the bay housing prices are atronomicsl, right?
I think the charitable interpretation is that the parent believes it is dangerous to enact policies based on that way of thinking, not that those thoughts in the abstract are harmful.
Most commands that you would want to put into a pipeline already have some sort of machine parsable output flag (tabular, json, format specifier, etc). Still, there is not much reason to call ls from a script at all. In python you would be better off with the native libraries. In bash, you would probably be best off with `find /usr/bin -maxdepth 1 -size +50M` in your usecase.

IMO people have been trying to do the same thing with these tools since they were invented. Better to learn how to use them the way they were intended before reinventing them.

Edit: re-read my comment. Seems a little negative. Sorry. To be clear, I think the jc/jq approach is much better than the roll-your-own parser in shell approach.
China can feed itself. It doesn't have to be beyond subsistence level.

China runs like every other country on oil, but a large part of that demand for oil is to produce for the rest of the world. You need to calculate the actual domestic demand for oil and related products rather than total demand. The US can supply its energy domestically, but what if the US have to reopen the factories once closed to make other products? Will the oil be fluent? Oil isn't just the thing you put in your car. You'd be surprised how many of our modern products need oil (plastic, fabric etc).

Of course, those statements are made under the same assumption that there are only China and US in the world, or that the whole world go in to isolationist status. I'd rather not make any argument here, but to suggest somehow China's continued survival depended upon the global market while the US's doesn't is nothing more than an illusion.
>XMPP is probably the worst thing that ever happened to open standard instant messaging.

Could you elaborate? I'm curious as to why you think that.
My first laptop was a Toshiba around 2003. It was pretty great at the time, but laughably heavy and clunky by today’s standards (I still have it for some reason...)

Wait, if you query HIBP, you are actually asking: is it safe to use thus password?

If you have a match, you will certanly use different password.

And, by the way, they have username/hashes before you even use their API.
You'd need something over 3 billion users at that rate to match Google's current revenue (about $16 billion a month). Google currently has about 2 billion.

However, Google's current revenue pays for a lot more than just search. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that search could pay for itself with revenue from users instead of ads.
From the Package.jl description: "Creating custom sysimages for reduced latency when working locally with packages that has a high startup time." That sounds really far from statically compiling everything with a compiler that will strip out all the code you don't code, inline aggressively, etc... Static languages at least let us ~pretend that even if our dependencies are bloated, our binaries will be elegant tightly optimized things :)
Never fixed? I had to look some stuff up on PACER many years ago, never went over the free threshold, never got a bill of any sort.
I wish we could have Lisp Machines for our desktops. Single language for the whole stack, so easy to scope the source and reason about the choices made by developers. No software bloat at all.
At least personally, I always considered Toshiba laptops to be the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality. I don't recall a time when thinkpad (at least before Lenovo bought them) could have been considered inferior?
My first work laptop was a Toshiba. We went through so much together that I nicknamed it R2D2.
Ugh. I detest that phrase. :( It sounds so corporate.
Based on how things are going(in the US) the equation is going like:

1. Reduce foreign workers in the US

2. Allow WFH from anywhere* thereby reducing total cost of workforce domestically

*remember things are never done to be awesome for the employee, just the companies bottom line, if both happen then that is fine too.
The Slippery Slope was a fallacy back when Auden wrote this, too.

Found the person that didn't see Batman Begins;

If you think dancing around in aerosol'ed hand sanitizer would be okay, you've clearly never gotten alcohol in your eye, nose, or dare I say throat.

Perfume is also a really interesting one, because some of us do sneeze every time we smell Abercrombie or do start anaphylaxis around flowers or other certain plants. Which comes right around to soap, which, yes, people are allergic to dyes and fragrances in, so we make pure and hypoallergenic.

Chlorine, in pools; We've made drastic progress on that one in society in the last 30 years; from barrels of chlorine when we didn't understand it, to carefully measuring it, to now we have salt reactors that continuously meter it.
Thanks, sorry if I offended you. It was just my way to convey to you why I am asking about the specific hospital.

They gave poor Ezra a lobotomy after the war for his wrongthink. This is what's planned for everybody who strays too far off the approved plantation.
Got it; the answer is no, because I believe AWS ECS (Fargate) creates the containers using the OCI runc. In order for them to offer system-containers as a service, AWS ECS would need to run Sysbox on their backend to deploy the containers.

Sorry, I think I missed your final sentence when I originally read your comment. Yeah, DaemonMode.jl won't help that part. Perhaps combining Docker with with DaemonMode or PackageCompiler would solve some of these woes, but that might still not feel fully satisfactory.

Hopefully we'll have more / better AOT compilation and deployment in the near future. There's a lot of rumblings of exciting things starting in Julia AOT compilation, and I think it'd make a killer combination with our package manager's binary artifact deployment story.
What my company has said (when the office is currently slated to reopen in September) is that you need to wear a mask while walking around the office or talking to people, but not when you're sitting at your desk/computer. Our seating arrangements will be laid out such that everyone's desk has at least six feet of space.

I'm... not sure... whether the science on this holds up, but it struck me as a good compromise. People expressed concern that wearing a mask for nine hours straight, without any breaks, would become very uncomfortable.
OP here
I fine-tuned the deep learning neural network GPT2 from OpenAI, using this [Google Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1VLG8e7YSEwypxU-noRN...) by Max Woolf and using these [130 thousand real wine reviews](https://www.kaggle.com/zynicide/wine-reviews) collected by Zack Thoutt.
You don't have to accept it for it to be true.

The point of "hidden complexity" is that it's hidden. Talking to an expert in public policy in the specific area in question might well reveal the "glaring flaw" is actually a known thing, with a good but counter-intuitive reason behind it.

I've seen precisely that in software; big precautionary comments in code that say "this seems weird, but here's why it exists; you can try and fix it, but you'll just increment the 'leave this code alone' counter again".
> Why would someone go through the hassle of hiring and bringing a H1B at higher salary in USA when they can hire the same person in India at much lower cost.

Why do so many companies hire at a higher salary in the Bay Area when they can hire the same person anywhere else in the US at much lower cost?
Comments like this demonstrate a severe lack of understanding around how intelligence today in the US works, especially in a post-Snowden world. Our government routinely performs dystopian forced mass-surveillance of citizens accompanied by gag orders.

> When Google starts to have any inclination to put a bag over my head if I search the wrong thing, sure.
> When Google starts having an interest in being able to blackmail people to get them to spy on their country or give up IP, then sure.

The CCP could have all the data they want on you but there is almost nothing they can do about it because an ocean and a military separates you, outside some fringe cases.

The NSA, however, can and will use data they collect on you against you. The US government is no stranger to this, where COINTELPRO [1] used the results of domestic spying to try to put an early end to MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.

The US has caused demonstrable harm to citizens via surveillance yet you seem to support it compared to the less dangerous alternative out of some misplaced sense of patriotism.

> When the US Government can unilaterally demand security cooperation from Google in any way, shape, or form like the Chinese government can, then sure.

Have you not heard of PRISM? The NSA? National Security Letters? The US routinely can and does force companies to give up information on citizens in the form of dragnet surveillance. One way to do this is a National Security Letter [2].

> Google wants to sell ads. They don’t care about your porn preferences, whether you have a mistress, or whether you do drugs

And neither does the CCP. Neither does the NSA, actually, unless they want something from you and to force you to do something.

> The Government of China wants power. They want influence. They want information. They want control. And no Chinese company is allowed to refuse its pursuit of those.

Welcome to participating on a global scale. The US isn't the only country allowed to be a superpower. It's probably not good if China surpasses the US, but the US also doesn't have anywhere close to the moral high ground w.r.t. domestic surveillance as you mention.

I wish I had a more substantive comment beyond “wow” but this is really impressive. I’ve wanted something like this for a long time.
Documents created by judges and other federal court employees are automatically in the public domain as works of the federal government.

PACER also includes documents filed by the parties to cases, which don't have the same cut-and-dried nature. A fair use argument probably goes a long way here but that's always more uncertain.

What they're not saying is that the Chinese will have to completely shut down many of their silicon foundries because of a lack of specialized chemicals only available from the USA and Japan.
Yes. Just last year. Sounds like this action is a result of that failure.

https://threatpost.com/troy-hunt-sell-have-i-been-pwnd/14556...
Correct, which is why I didn't say that no-one should be worried. I am saying that this doesn't apply for most people in most situations.

And you want a national mandate to wear masks but you said that people wearing them got infected. Interesting take.
I don't think so, well maybe how tech used to work at the office with developers elbowing each other at a long table meant for 5 but 10 people working from it.
why does that matter if the outcomes are comparably despicable? In fact that seems _more_ damning to the US people

This guy has some goggles on for Canada which has its share of problems which one day will come home to roost. Nevertheless the last few months has really changed my thinking. I used to be willing to do one more tour of duty down south but now I don't think I want to head to the U.S. no amount of money is worth it.

If Trump wins again that's it. I don't think Canada will be safe either, whatever shit happens in the U.S. Canada is just going to become collateral damage.
Our company has the policy of deleting all DMs after a couple weeks which helps push people towards using the channels as people generally like having a history of their communications for reference.
i recently went though schema.org a bit while putting together a blog, and it was a long list (for a human to digest), but relative to all the objects in the world, tiny. google's vested interest and stamp on it was pretty evident.

i also went through microformats, which seems to be much smaller, and more tightly-focused around blogs and structuring data shared among federated sites.
This will be fiercely debated but Bay Area (notably San Francisco) has previously been a mix of {things to do, high paying jobs}. Once you remove high paying jobs (or rather, expand them to other cities by way of remoteness), there are many other equally good or better contenders for things to do with significantly cheaper housing.
Matrix for HOPE was solid as hell.
>it's hard to see a clear upside

Vastly enhanced point-to-point mobility seems like a pretty clear upside to me. Absent cars, public transportation would doubtless be better. But people would have far less flexibility in where they lived, where they went for recreation, and in many other things.
I have not had a positive interaction with USPS in years. I don't understand why our taxes subsidize people to hand-deliver junk mail. What an inefficient use of taxpayer funds. With the exception of federal mail, why not jack the prices up tremendously? Stamps are 55 cents now per letter. Make them $1.50 and make everyone else rent a PO box or do digital scanning.
Nature is an amenity.
Because India is 9.5 time zones from New York. Americans who can remote work (not just developers) should be more worried about being outsourced to Canada, or to Central and South American countries.
Me too! Why do I have to use a third party app to snap my windows? It’s so cumbersome pressing the green button, clicking which side you want the app on, clicking which app you want on the other side. When you exit, one app goes full screen. It’s maddening.
Exercise. Enough sleep. Good food choices. Take care of the body first, then, (for me) things that make me laugh in a wholesome way. Hugs from loved ones. It's all counter-intuitive, because it's "taking the foot off the gas". The drive to the finish line is fine if it's truly close, but you sound like you're part of the legendary death march, which can go on for a loooong time. We think for a living. Thinking works better in rested, relaxed bodies and excited, curious minds.
Yes. But will they then innovate at the same rate?
> If you're caught short by a stockout, then fast reaction time now becomes a long reaction time.

I've seen a little evidence in Netflix's public statements that they have a degree of load shedding. They've reserved enough machines to service all high priority traffic, plus a couple of layers of buffer, and the buffer gets parceled out for lower priority tasks as space is available, and buy either more base load or more spot servers when that queue gets too long.

But... we have the cloud because people have been doing a simplistic version of this for decades in private data centers, the person in charge gets build-out fatigue, possibly before you were even hired, and you practically have to harass them to get enough hardware, or give up and use more man-power to do the same work a computer should be doing, while slowly you lose all respect for the company.

Cloud is already built. You just show up and pay 140% of the amortized cost of building and running the system, instead of the up-front cost. Now that person is either easier to talk to or you can just go around them entirely.

As I saw someone say recently, "Love is not the most powerful force in the universe, it's spite."

Where was I? Oh yes. So we can do this, but to an extent the people who manage to pull it off are remarkable, because so often it doesn't work out, or they succeed in silence and go back to what they really were supposed to be working on now that they've figured out how to get more out of their meager capacity.
Another subthread here states that ads on search are a majority of Google's revenue. Looking at [1], we see the US being 46% of the revenue. So, assume that search in the US pays for 20% of Google's revenue. Apparently Google's revenue is $160B/year. Do you think the US would have 100M customers willing to pay $320/year for search? Or 10M willing to pay $3200? Or, any mixture of that to reach the balance?

Dislaimer: I'm a Googler, but only base the above on this comment thread and the first results in Google search.

The greatest beauty of this exchange is the degree to which each exercised free association. Cerf did not wish to associate with Pound, and Auden felt that this wish was insufficiently justified and, in turn, chose not to associate with Cerf, causing him to have to go back on his actions.

Ultimately, I see most modern de-platforming as being very similar, with the significant difference that it is not at all civil (which is ultimately easy to factor out for me).

For what it's worth, I may well choose to not use some piece of software because I dislike the leadership. That is a free choice. I may well tell my friends why I made this choice and they may well go along with me. The company may then choose to fire the leadership and alienate those who like them, or choose not to and alienate me and my friends. It's all free choice.

So, overall, I'm not too upset about cancel culture. It's for those of us who sympathize with the cancelled to create spaces where they can continue to thrive. And if we do it right, and if we are right that they are unfairly cancelled, then we will have a weapon that will beat the uninformed in the market. If not, we fail, and the rest of humanity thrives.

Ultimately, the Brendan Eich situation is like this. I don't like that he donated against gay marriage. I didn't stop using Firefox over it. I didn't start using Firefox over it. But by my principles of liberty, I could reasonably have said "I will not work at Mozilla or use Firefox so long as they permit this unless they end their association with him" and they can reasonably have said "Okay, don't. Your loss." or "Okay, we fired him". After all, we are just free people choosing whom we would like to associate with.
I wonder if Apple and Google and Facebook and Microsoft and Stripe had just done something "anti competitive" and entered the payment space squarely themselves if rates would come down. They seem more consumer experience directed than other players.

The security they can deploy (apple pay seems pretty good now as long as card onboarding isn't broken) seems like they could drive down to basically low interchange?
>It's a little frustrating because I'm trying to move my computing away from Apple because I'm no longer convinced they care about Macs in the long term…

They just committed to transition the Mac platform to arguably the most performant (per watt) architecture available and just released the public beta Big Sur.

If they didn't care about the Mac long term, why on Earth would they go through the trouble of making this transition?

The Mac just set a June quarter record of $7.1 billion in revenue, up 22% from last year. These numbers give Apple a lot to care about: https://www.apple.com/investor/earnings-call/
How I would do that in Sciter:

fast.css :

fast-something { // custom element
aspect: FastSomething; // its function-controller
display:block;
}

script:

function FastSomething() {
// note JSX is built-in in Sciter
this.content( <b>Hello World</b> );
}

and markup:

<style src="fast.css" />

<body>
<fast-something />
</body>

Easy, no?

Ask HN: What parser would you choose?
It's been a long time since I used bison, and there are now a lot of other options around now.

I'm going to be parsing some text ... think lightly structured natural language ... and I'd be interested to know what the HN community would recommend, and dis-recommend.

There are things like ANTLR, Lemon, and this page[0] has too many to mention.

So, does anyone here have anything to suggest?

TIA.

I don't see Amazon's bought-together thing as a dark pattern assuming the data is legitimate. While most of the time it's irrelevant I find it useful on occasion when it does things like point out a suitable case for the item I'm looking at.

It also can be stupid at times--just because A is bought with B doesn't mean B is bought with A. (Ink for your printer, sensible. Printer for your ink???)

Pound had a lobotomy? Well, I've never heard that one before.

I'm not sure I'd word it "straying off the approved plantation". Typically, people describe Pound's political life roughly as that of a "rabid Jew-hater" or "fascist traitor to America".
> US-based developers

no, not all parts of the country will be so hardcore about remote work into the future. For example, I see Utah (which leans heavy into enterprise SaaS and already booming in tech) to continue as normal except with masks or a little more space between desks.

If some businesses do better in person, then they will make it happen somehow.
Some things it could possibly be:

- Lead gasoline stopped being sold(this is also theorized why crime dropped alot from the 90's)

- Pollution being down across the board due to better EPA standards and electric vehicles.

- Increased internet access and more games/puzzles with smart phones to stimulate the mind.

- Lead paint being taken very seriously as being detrimental to health. having specialized crews dealing with removing it, also asbestos being removed from society in the same way.
Here in Minneapolis the feeling is similar. Suburban and rural folks seem awfully concerned about crime in the city, while those of us who actually live in the city just want the cops’ boots off our damn necks.
