I thought the whole point was to become cross platform. You can install the runtime on its own. Bundling an application and the framework isn't a requirement.
That would only work on a known operating system and window manager with known keyboard shortcuts, unless a terminal is already focused.
The drug that kills tens of thousands of people who don't know any better and choke on their vomit because nobody told them to lay on their side. People who overdose because they got dope laced with fent. People who overdosed because they didn't know how much h they got. People who got addicted, because the safest option was to shoot. Surely controlled selling of the substance wouldn't fix any of these problems.

How possible would it be to use APL as a DSL, or to include one file of it in a larger Erlang/Elixir project?
Modern branch predictors absolutely have neural nets these days. Check out for example this 2001 IEEE paper on "dynamic branch prediction using neural networks": https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/952279 or this 2007 patent using "conditional bias" (it beats around the bush, only explicitly naming neural networks once, but it's clear what it is about if you read between the lines): https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2009066063A1/en.

There is a wealth of patents and articles if you search for "neural net branch prediction patent".
Being a billionaire isn't about money, it's about ownership. Take Warren Buffet as an example, Buffet is "worth" 71 Billion dollars, but what does that actually mean?

Buffet doesn't have a vault full of 71bn dollar notes. His wealth almost entirely consists of the ownership of Berkshire Hathaway stock. That means that wealth consists of factories, media companies, property, mines, shops, warehouses and hundreds of thousands of people doing productive work.

So by and large, and there are exceptions of course, most billionaires are so because they lead and own huge businesses doing work on which our entire civilisation depends. They gained that control through being effective leaders that know how to build efficient and productive enterprises that employ people like you and me.

So what's the alternative? Appropriating their wealth would also involve removing their ownership and leadership of those businesses, and handing it to who? On what pretext, and to who's benefit?

Personally I have no problem with people being successful like that. What I think can be a problem is what happens to that wealth when those people die. If a person obtains vast wealth through hard work and contributing to society that's fine, but inheriting that kind of wealth is a different question. I think there's a reasonable case to be made for much higher inheritance taxes and regulation of trust funds.

Because US coup'ed the empire (as Orwell had predicted with "Airstrip One") in the mid 1950's[1]. The UK has certainly left many frozen conflicts still littered about the globe, but they get to tell the yanks "zabashcha" now.

[1] Head of State: John Dulles. Head of CIA: Allen Dulles. As for Eleanor Dulles, she pretty much focused on european affairs, but had previously served in a wartime capacity on the "Board of Economic Warfare." (If that sounds insufficiently euphemised, recall that DoD was, in those pre-Orwellian times, simply the "War Department.")

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_the_United... it appears that the US refused to share nukes with the UK after the war, pulled Suez as the UK was attempting to independently develop megatonnage, but then relaunched the "special relationship" after Sputnik gave everyone a new appreciation for boffins.
They would build a dedicated cargo section and fairing for this, all of that would be fairly straightforward to accommodate. I don’t know if SpaceX has acknowledged the idea but there was discussion of installing ’retro-rockets’ up in the fairing for the moon lander (to reduce exhaust blast on the regolith), could use the exact same technology.

If they were so inclined they cold even recover the helium from the tanks they are filling and use that to assist with pumping pressure.

Not to be insulting but I feel like the issue could have been solved 10 steps before the need to involve swarms of drones. If people want to go in remote areas they should carry ways to be located, there are no reasons not to carry one.
It's the kind of thing that would make sense if money didn't exist, like having a police officer in front of every single house in the country to prevent burglaries.
>The researchers suggest the biology of the plant is so unique that it challenges the notion of plants and what they are. They conclude by suggesting Langsdorffia is unlike any other plant in existence, and because so very little is known about it, more work is required

But what is unique and different about it? Maybe it's my ignorance of biology but I feel the article didn't explain that. I mean, the article did describe the plant but not which of its characteristics are unique.
Once I have seen a coworker improvising one of these by placing a second (optical) mouse on top of a mechanical wristwatch.
I like the way another comment handled the same concerns: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24069315

They offered some different questions, pointed out the issues with the line of inquiry, then restated the question under the question in a different way:

>> "It's pretty unquestionable that some classes of bugs are eliminated at compile time. But whether it actually ends up mattering in the big scheme of things is another question."

And that question is worth studying.
The Math of Card Shuffling (2018)
The data structures are often nested, and can change quite often, so spending time normalizing all of those in to columns and tables wouldn't make a lot of sense.

I suppose on the human level the more important reason is I often get requests from non-techies in the company to see snippets from this data. They can read JSON just fine (Well, most of them... a few still insist on using Excel, so I have to flatten the JSON to csv with jq)

I was going to ask if that wasn't as loud as hell.

But it looks like the 2640 is a 65W part, so not excessive. Huh, not a bad buy for a few bucks, looks like you could get a 6C/12T board and cpu for about £60 from ebay.

All those are within the reach of National Security Letters.
lab is great! The CI view in the cli felt kind of magical at the time. I was in an organization that was bizarrely using both GitHub ant GitLab, and lab+hub really helped make sense of things until we finally migrated to GitLab. Using GitHub exclusively at the new job has me really missing GitLab CI when working the GitHub actions :(

In many places, law enforcement will pressure but not torture you to provide decryption keys, maybe imprison you for a while, fine you, ...

But that may be preferable than them knowing about all those highly illegal nuclear doomsday space arms technology knowledge deals you've brokered, or that collection of child porn, or those detailed assassination plans, or whatever. Maybe the authorities suspect something, maybe a SWAT team will snatch your laptop, but if all evidence is in there and encrypted, you may get off with a lot less than otherwise.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctions_against_Iran

There have been a number of sanctions against Iran imposed by a number of countries, especially the United States, and international entities. The first sanctions were those imposed by the United States in November 1979 after a group of radical students seized the American Embassy in Tehran and took the people inside hostage.

That was my first hit in response to a search for: "do the british still have an embargo against iran"

Everything I have ever heard indicates that the US still is applying tremendous pressure to Iran to this day and it has significant impact. There are other international entities with sanctions against Iran, but the name you hear over and over and over when this comes up in the news or in comments is that it's primarily the US that is riding Iran hard and has been for decades.

Design by Contract for Python
I suspect due to the sheer number of internal deploys, Gitlab does not always get the exposure warranted.

My work place is switching from internal Gitlab/gitlab-runners to external gitlab.com + internal gitlab-runners. We are very happy with both scenarios, but neither gains Gitlab any exposure.
yes. Mouse jiggers pretend to be regular mice an keyboard.
That's a nice idea, like how Google doodles link to some background information.

Another solution could be to make the date labels at the top look and act like buttons. Then you could still use the UI by clicking on the dates without having to understand the scrubber.
I imagine that's an oversight of sorts because you could just build the images on gitlab too.
Jio got big since it offered services better then competition. Unless govt mandates everyone to use Jio they would have to stay competitive to be on top.

Given that Python 3 has been around for 12 years now, and still doesn't have universal adoption, I kinda doubt this is going to be near as bad a migration as that was.

At least .NET 5 will have compatible string-types once you've upgraded your projects :)
Ask HN: What would be your expectation from an ERP software built today?

According to who? Everybody cares about value for money. Specs aren't the only reason a product is valuable though, of course. I pay a mark up on Apple gear because of the value I get from the software and customer service, but I still need effective tools and that means up to scratch spec-wise.
In theory, you could fingerprint the host OS first and then run the appropriate commands (of course more tricky with more custom Linux setups, does CTRL+ALT+Fn still work to get to a text console?): https://www.cise.ufl.edu/~butler/pubs/sadfe11.pdf
It may be the reason, but not the only option.

Seems it works for them just fine. Amazon had a similar strategies while being a lot smaller at the time. You need multiple revenue streams to really push for market dominance.
How does that work with input devices like keyboard and mouse?
I don't think it solves same problem.

Seems like the the processor may just gradually be storing the explicit branch pattern at that point in the program? 2000 branches isn't that many if you have tens of megabytes of cache on the die.
I ran the same route as you, and bought a eGPU enclosure and a GTX 1060 some years ago but then gave up after it frustrated me enough. Well it didn't work that bad but I had the feeling that OSX wasn't as stable as in the past and I was mostly using Windows 10 at work anyway (Visual Studio for SharePoint development) so I switched back after 6 years of using a Mac to a PC and haven't regretted it.
Windows 10 works great, there is WSL or I can run ubuntu on a Hyper-V or VBox.
The only thing I directly missed are Final Cut Pro X - but I now use DaVinci Resolve and Garage Band (I now use LMMS).
Glad to see MicroBlocks on the front page of HN!

I'm one of the project devs. Feel free to AMA :)
Yes and no. The idea is to emulate a keyboard and mouse. You then use OS shortcuts to, for example, start a terminal and type command in it. So it can work with Linux but, because of the diversity of Distribution, DE, etc, it is more difficult to be sure of the shortcuts that you can use, whereas on windows or mac, they will usually always be the same (for exemple, Windows+R on windows to launch a launcher, and then type cmd.exe).
But how does one know they are in a bubble?? For example, am I in some tech info bubble with the sites I regular visit or is it diverse enough?

Those costs would be the same if the article was read from a newspaper or magazine, so they can be factored out.
> does because these Uyghurs are subjected to hard labor where they’re producing goods for Nike, Gap, H&M, Amazon, Puma, etc.

I have not heard these allegations of slave labor surrounding these internment camps. Maybe you're thinking of US prisons.

>The fact that their treatment feels equivalent to the holocaust makes it even worse

I'm still not defending China here, but their actions seem limited to cultural genocide not actual genocide. The US treatment of Muslims in Yemen is far worse.
As it did with Iraq, Syria, Libya, and on and on. Ironically, this has pushed the world away from the U.S. towards Russia. Good job trying to further the interests of the U.S. by driving everyone away from it with chaos, and now a president drives the U.S. allies away from it. It didn't take long before Germany started getting closer to Russia.

"Conclusive evidence", whether for Iraq or China, leads to a U.S. official dangling a vial of dried bat semen in front of the UN Security Council.

It's exacerbated with reactions to events. The most recent of which is the "bounty" issue. Officials and journalists are outraged that Russian intelligence services allegedly gave money to Taliban to target U.S. troops. Anyone with half a brain would think: isn't this the same thing the CIA did by training Taliban on U.S. soil, with Special Forces, giving them RPGs, weapons and money to kill Soviet troops? I mean, the US/Taliban/Russia is almost a Vicky Cristina Barcelona triangle.

The mere fact of these former intelligence officers and government officials being outraged is insulting.

More on relations:

Notice how Putin's speeches and interview differ from the usual U.S. diplomats and officials. U.S. officials and diplomats' speeches would piss off anyone with a functioning brain, it is the usual silly patriotism with wavy flags, exporting freedom and democracy, stars and stripes, and demagogy. No one can get away with that because the counter-examples are too many. This is bad salesmanship.

In contrast, Putin takes the approach to explain the lay of the land, underplays his role, and takes the position of the underdog: "my job is to look for the Russian people, we're not as powerful as the U.S., look at what they did with all that power", and when people look, they agree. It's a very effective selling/recruiting strategy.
This reminds me of Key & Peele's skit "Clortho Inner City Wizarding School":

People who build "personal brands" on twitter should be condemned. It should not be recognised as a valid use case. There is a reason why people like dril came onto the platform to lampoon and confront the absurdity of brand twitter: that corporate twitter accounts obliviously chose to cohabit the same space that everyone else uses to discuss ass eating and gender politics, and that there's assuredly nothing more pathetic than being a "personal brand".

Journalists are the absolutely the most egregious examples of personal brand twitter. This use of twitter exemplifies the problem identified in this study.
In the last two weeks, there were multiple articles on Jio and whenever I comment something, Google analytics says I have new visitor to my website this hackernews.

I don't know how, this medium article I was able to read and other useful articles asks me join their membership.

End of day,
1. BSNL has higher reach in rural areas after then it was idea. Airtel & Jio are city based mostly that's where the speed is.

2. JioMart is a provision store, DMart is a provision store. If JioMart buys DMart then you can say ok he is here to stay. But buy FutureRetail which already sells only few specific brands not all. So what's the point.

3. Jio University, It's graded eminence but yet to be built. No comments.

May be ban of tiktok could be due to investment. Everybody in the country had Tiktok installed and happily watching all the 15-30sec videos, nobody was using fb. After the ban, in youtube now they are promoting some 15sec, it's not so interesting as tiktok. JioMeet was a ripoff of zoom. Just before a month, JioMeet was introduced GoI said zoom can be compromised, it's not banned because large corporations are already using it.

Ok. Now I am expecting some traffic to my site.
Well, that's certainly the most surprising thing I've learned today. Thanks.

I’m not so sure I’d call this shameful. The official GitHub cli is a fairly new offering and still in beta...
Yeah, I was thinking of custom window-manager setups. You can usually get a tty console by ctrl-meta-f1 etc., but that wouldn't help, since you'd have to enter a password. I suppose an advanced version could try different combinations and test each by entering a command that would be detected by the stick.
What I learned when I became “CEO” at 20 (2018)
The issue IMO isn't about challenging their views in general; it's about developing a skewed perspective of what's normal. There are a lot of common opinions, even majority opinions, that journalists tend to write about as though they're weird fringe beliefs, and I think this substantially misinforms people about the state of the world.
His Family consist of Board of Directors. It's ridiculous how SEBI could allow a public company to operate like family business. Board of Directors are supposed to represent minority shareholders, not the majority.
No, because that again depends on the representation. You can store the information of moves and chess position in 1D. As for example, two players can play a game of chess just by exchanging moves via morse code.
I would make a huge difference between "nuclear war" and using a nuclear weapon.

Nuclear war is often understood (at least I think) as a total annihilation of all parties through extensive use of nuclear weapons. This is the boogeyman of the nuclear dissuasion strategy and not meant to happen.

On the other hand, the use of nuclear weapons as they were used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is not very different from the use of conventional weapons as they were used at the time: Whole cities were obliterated through carpet bombing with comparable damage. A nuclear bomb was 'just' more efficient.

In my opinion the moral dilemma was not the use of a nuclear weapon but rather the total destruction of a city, and that choice had been made before nuclear weapons were used (see Dresden, Tokyo). This might not have been considered at the beginning of the war, but with time and the toll on people and society the limits of what was previously acceptable or not start to fade. I think in 1945 the mindset of people was "do whatever it takes."
Ask HN: Why you've got no sales. A Mindmap exercise
I work with a lot of salespeople at Intandemly, and I thought of doing this exercise of why leads don't convert.

Am I missing anything from this flow? would love to hear from you

Why you've got no sales:

1. The need doesn't exist

2. The need exists, but you're not targeting right

3. The need exists, you've got the right target, BUT it's not as useful to them as you think it is

4. The need exists, you've got the right target, it's useful, BUT your solution is not effective

5. The need exists, you've got the right target, it's useful and effective, BUT the market is not big enough.

6. The need exists, you've got the right target, it's useful and effective, it's a huge market, BUT it's your pitch is not effective.

7. The need exists, you've got the right target, it's useful and effective, it's a huge market, you pitch it right, BUT the timing if off.

Dan Luu does brilliant things parsing strings with SIMD instructions but the programming model is busted if you have to recompile (and maybe hand code assembly) for each chip.

I was involved with wrapping up a deep neural net application just as GPGPU was about to take off. We used hand coded SIMD, performance was fine, but we were not going to recode for the next generation from chips, change our error function, or change anything SIMD related.I

Before there was MMX computers came with vector units that did not have a programmer visible size, such as the Cray 1 and the vector unit for the 3090 mainframe. As it is, people hardly use vector instructions or if they use them it is something a few generations old so people pay for vector units that they don't use.
