That's only true for TrueType Fonts in graphical mode.

In text-mode, characters are "drawn" by simply writing their ASCII code point into VRAM and writing another byte (two 4-bit values really) in an additional "attribute" buffer to set the foreground and background colour.

Programmers can swap out the default character set to provide their own typeface and graphical characters for use as window borders, shadows, etc.

(S)VGA text-mode is as cheap as it gets in terms of computational complexity.

Sorry I meant they sent some link to login at the email I use for Paypal. They probably have some new system. I done that about 2 years ago to try them out
On the other hand huge amounts of dumb vc money went into blockchain related companies. I was seeing a lot of top dollar points job ads looking for block chain experience.

Also its not fair to say this is a flying car. The crypto, even the less known ones, are widely used in various illegal markets from drugs to tax evasion. Shame about the lack of other applications.
Fairness and machine learning: Limitations and Opportunities
Depends. If you render it yourself in a frame buffer with anti aliasing and whatnot sure, but real text mode or using bitmap fonts is dirt cheap.
What features are they needing to add?
To be fair, I'm a classical liberal (minarchist), but really that means I want frugality to be a design goal while achieving the services we as a society decide to achieve. Markets can be efficient, when externalities and asymmetric information, among other market failures, don't overwhelm the market value.
Amazon: A New Kind of Antitrust Risk
It would be really nice if web proxies supported this as a generic mechanism, which could be applied to Linux packages, ISOs, git commits, docker layers and more. I wrote up a very half-baked proposal for this kind of thing a while back: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/half-baked-idea-conten...

Then you could set cloudflare as a proxy (or transparent proxy even?) and it could inject the objects without having to visit the endpoints.
For the past month I've been working on remaking one of our company's internal apps in ReTool. Retool is definitely "lo-code" and not "no-code": you will need to write a few lines of JS, and more than a few lines of SQL, so you do need an actual developer to do the work. However, I was able to replicate about 90% of the functionality of the existing app in a little over a month working by myself, while the full-fledged React app required a team of 3 and had been ongoing for several years.

The downside to the user is that certain kinds of UI polish and more complex behaviors aren't possible. From the developer's side, there is limited ability to share code between apps, so you wind up cutting and pasting a lot, and the work is much more boring that regular dev work. Still, it's a lot less work than building up a regular CRUD app.
Their keyboards, while pretty, are made of cheapest ABS plastic. One of my keys became stuck just 2 months after the purchase, because of the crack on the keycap fitting. Corsair also refused to replace it.
I really liked DESQView, too bad the industry had to move to GUIs :(
Ok another clickbait and shallow article. HN needs to stop promoting these. Dropshipping in itself is nothing wrong. Dropshipping with the intent of defrauding people and selling counterfeits is what is wrong. Why cannot the writers of these articles be precise and responsible in choosing the title of their articles? With one stroke of pen they malign a whole group of people without any second thoughts.
> Yet, that’s what they do.

I'm not disagreeing with that (the beginning of that sentence, which you cut off, was "Sometimes, of course, they do better at this than other times").

The fact that, at the end of the day, the Packard car company no longer exists demonstrates my entire point. A police union who took the same tactics wouldn't have caused their police force to no longer exist.

There is a natural consequence on private-sector unions that overreach that doesn't exist for public-sector unions. Sometimes private-sector union leaders don't realize this, but when that happens, that's the end of the unionized workplace. Not so for public-sector unions. An effective private-sector union has to keep its employer alive if it wants to keep its members employed. (Yes, there are many ineffective private-sector unions, see Sturgeon's Law.) An effective public-sector union has no such obligation.

Now, if you want to argue that unions are bad in general, that's fine, but I think that's completely off-topic - I was responding to the claim that members of police unions should feel solidarity with members of private-sector unions. My claim is that those two types of unions work in fundamentally different ways and so one should not expect solidarity. Maybe both types of unions are bad - if so, they're bad in different ways.

> There is also a reason why labor unions are flourishing among people who work for government. No matter how much these public-sector unions drive up costs, government agencies do not go out of business. They simply go back to the taxpayers for more money.

Right, uh, that was exactly the whole point of my comment? I'm not sure why you're saying this like it's a new observation?
The problem with e-ink is that redrawing pixels without cycling leads to ghosting after a few draws. Most displays automatically cycles the entire screen now and then to mitigate this. I guess it's up to software or firmware to detect when to do it.
If someone's trying to sell you something that takes 1 month to ship out, you might as well go more direct and look for it on Aliexpress.
This shortcut works even if the remote side isn't responding to ^c and/or ^d. It's handled by the local client. The two primary use cases I've found it useful are when I accidentally wedge the remote box by using up all of some resource or when some other event causes my network connection to hang and I don't want to wait for a timeout.
In theory, one could pay for Cloudflare using prepaid (gift) debit cards paid for with cash. Whether that’s practical or not is a different question.
I agree with you.

But this discussion is about a tool that:

* does not change the C++ code to behave correctly for all inputs

* does not (and technically cannot) generate safe Rust bindings that keep the invariant (the bindings are automatically generated under the assumption that all C++ code is safe for all inputs).
Exactly the things I said in my previous comment.

It may not have been clear that I dislike those things, but I do dislike them. I think they are ultimately anti-reason and anti-individualist, and also just in bad taste.

Intentionally in bad taste, actually, but that's popular these days in niche parts of the radical left---again, yuck.

This is the literary equivalent of the "fat is beautiful" movement. I think at least some of the authors who write this way would even be willing to agree to that statement.
I'm somewhat surprised that this guide recommends Homebrew. I agree that using a package manager is a good way to keep software updated from a central, trusted repository--always a good thing--but Homebrew makes a number of trade-offs for convenience instead of security. MacPorts has most of the same common packages and doesn't mess up filesystem permissions like Homebrew does. If I remember correctly, the all-inside-the-home-directory technique used in this guide is unsupported by the Homebrew developers as well.

See https://saagarjha.com/blog/2019/04/26/thoughts-on-macos-pack... for a more nuanced take on this.
Polio is available as an oral vaccine that used to be widespread in the west. I still remember demanding a sugarcube with every oral medication after getting one for the polio vaccination :)

I think one of the issues of nolocode is it doesn't actually help people think like programmers, but the tools are often created with the implicit need to do that, a need which the creators don't see because they are coders.

People get spreadsheets and word documents. I don't really know why. But they get them. But while it might seem like the step from doc/xls to nolocode is small or even non-existent, I think it actually is really big for most people who are supposed to be the audience for that (complete non developers).

I think one reason is because people don't want the responsibility to make a system that can break. I'm not too sure if this is the only or the biggest reason, but I think non-coders don't have the sense that they can build things, and even if you show them they can using some hot tool, it seems they're still scared it's going to break and it will be on them.

Maybe one reason is because if you break an Excel doc, there's usually someone around in your org who knows how to fix it. But the same can't be said for some random new hot nocode tool.

I think for specific use cases, yes. But for general, web and mobile apps, I just think it is too much complexity you can't simplify away, or at least none of the box-dragging UIs seem to have achieved that.

I agree this can be a big market, but a shift is needed to make it actually easy, not "look how easy it is" easy. Taking a different tac, maybe there's just not a market for it. The browser/HTML/JS is everywhere. It's not that hard to build a simple tool or app, but people in orgs use Excel, they don't build a simple page, even. It's not because they couldn't learn how, but somehow that just now what people in orgs do. I don't know why.

Yeah and it has a whos-who of hacked and cracked Windows10 'WinPE' / preinstalled environments which I find amusing, like for example:

>Countries with biking cultures don't use helmets, because it's safe

I ride downhill (not on the street) and no one ever told my that riding without a helmet is safe.
If an interface can break safe Rust (without that being an implementation bug) then it should not be marked as safe. Breaking safety isn't about the compiler being pedantic, it can break your real world program.

Yes this may mean you sometimes can't create a safe interface to a particular foreign function. However all this means is that calling the function requires an explicit unsafe block and extra care. But that 'unsafe' marker is valuable! It's something that screams "here be dragons".
It’s the BBC
what the hell? that is quite odd, considering they have quotes from a professor at the university in the press release talking about mice as well... and it's not as though the press release is old or anything. shrug
I've been planning on the cxx side to update my attribute macro to require `unsafe mod ffi {...}` or `unsafe extern "C" {...}` to signal presence of a proof obligation. I think that resolves all concerns from the January discussion, including viewpoints I don't necessarily agree with, without sacrificing any ease of use.

Just haven't found time to make the compiler PR to allow exposing that syntax to macros yet, but I will.
We already had this debate many times.

One of the last ones was the actix debacle, which was contained and accidental and ended up badly.

This is IMO infinitely worse.

Well, there's your problem. If you want to be anonymous don't use payment methods that aren't.

Mullvad has no login email at all. You seem to be mistaken.
Why did these YouTubers give away their son?
It might just be me, but I feel like from this comment on down, everyone is saying the same thing in different words.

(which is great, when the topic is a little complicated like this)
Just to clarify — the vaccine uses as its backbone a type of adenovirus that typically infects chimpanzees, modified by the addition of pieces from SARS-CoV-2, but the experiments testing efficacy are performed in mice (specifically, a type of mice engineered to express humanized ACE2).

This vaccine has not been tested in chimpanzees (and actually such experiments would probably be a challenge, since they may have existing immunity to the backbone adenovirus).

(edit: parent comment initially mentioned experiments in chimpanzees rather than mice)
Has this been tested in animals? I see no mention of this.
Is there anyone currently working on alternate transports?

Oh yeah. I'm going to date myself here, but I was just going to say this reminds me a lot of Borland Turbo C++ way back in the day. They had this thing called Turbo Vision for building text UIs. It seemed super cool back then.

I think they are categorically different debates.
Bloatware like iCUE (iirc one of the worst offenders) can reduce game FPS by 10-20 %, which is roughly the performance difference between one or two tiers of graphics hardware.
As the lead for some stuff at Chrome, what's your stance on Google [ab]using its strong market position to promote Chrome basically through all possible channels and muscling out Firefox down to sub-10% market share? "Upgrade to Chrome" on Google's main page irrespective of what the user's current browser is, etc.

Are you happy with the resulting browser landscape?
I don't think the closed loop argument is sound. We care about the total amount of carbon in the loop, we care specifically about the amount in the atmosphere. That's the equilibrium point, and there's a lot you can do to push around the equilibrium point in a closed system.
Also, this doesn't mean we were always just let loose. The "teachers"/"nurses" (not sure of the word) taught us a great deal of stuff, like different tree types and bird species etc. We'd have a poster with different birds on the wall and we'd then listen and look for them in the parks etc. We learned to identify trees based on their leaves and so on. We learned about national holidays and what they meant (so a bit of history even), to do crafts, like Easter decorations and so on.
So I don't mean we were like feral children without any guidance, it just wasn't structured like school.
Because it is a really inefficient way to store what amounts to an immutable ledger in a traditional database. While I don't agree with a lot of the consensus that blockchain is completely useless. I pretty much agree that it is useless if it is owned by a private entity. That was one of the main points of the blockchain, how can we create a public datastore that is not owned by anyone and it tamperproof. I see public blockchain as valuable to freedoms in a libertarian sense but see no value in companies adopting the core blockchain techs. Tooling around public blockchains sure or API's available on things like D'APPS make sense, but private ledgers make absolutely no sense to me. Just use a traditional database and implement all the data storage as a ledger pattern and you get the same effect with out all the energy consumption.
That would completely resolve my concern about cxx.

(i still think its a soundness bug in Rust that `extern { }` does not require unsafe since one can use it to trigger UB in safe Rust code)
It is quite ridiculous since scrolling through social media and texting endlessly, spending hours on youtube or netflix, gossiping for hours, or playing the dating game (notice I said dating game, not dating) are an equal waste of time. There's a point where any activity becomes an obsession and that's when it becomes a problem.

If you aren't obsessing and are otherwise stable (no debt, bills are paid, job, housing), then it doesn't matter what others say about them. We could be doing something more productive than arguing on HackerNews, yet here we are. Life isn't about being productive 100% of our lives since nothing really does matter anyway.

In a thousand, million or billion years, most (if not all of us) will be forgotten.
I think that’s a fantastic compromise. I am 100% in agreement with you on this topic, FWIW.
This is really cool.

A couple of thoughts:

The screen share cannot be fullscreened(?), which makes it hard to see fine details.

The pair-programming code sharing didn't work VSCode to Pycharm (Or my coworker didn't get the plugin configured correctly in Pycharm).

Overall though, GitDuck seems like a great tool.
> The OP said it was never in a union’s interest to harm a company. And I provided counter arguments where they did exactly that.

No, those are not counter-arguments. You provided cases where unions acted against their self-interest. You didn't demonstrate that such self-interest doesn't exist.

Of course there are countless such cases. There are infinite stories of people, companies, countries, organizations, political parties, investors, wild animals, etc. acting against their self-interest and meeting their end. That doesn't mean the self-interest doesn't exist.
I think there still performance issues when manipulating the DOM. When those get worked out (and they will), it may change the velocity of adoption.

Yeah you turn around my words, if Boeing invest in the security of the airplane at the end of the day they have less money.

Again Boeing is NOT a society.

Peter vs. Tytell, a Typewriter Whisperer, Is Dead at 74
You're taking downvotes here, but I agree.

The most consistent source of surface-level, near clickbait articles that make it to the top of HN is the BBC.
What does it mean to predict the probability of an event that can only possibly be tested once? Isn’t the prediction unfalsifiable?
Engineering is applied science. As an Electrical Engineer who is also a Functional Safety engineer that is expected to define and produce software to a level of detail and rigour that often corresponds to less than a line of code per day across multi year projects, it is hard to see the "move fast and break things" crowd as Engineers.

Not to say that they have not achieved some amazing and useful things, but I remember one of my lecturers at Uni saying, "At many times during your career you may well encounter unqualified and/or inexperienced people who can seemingly deliver comparable results by taking extreme or unwarranted gambles, but it is the engineer who should be able to be relied upon to do these things for the benefit of society consistently and safely, to a known budget and schedule".

Now many people would (maybe rightly) think that is fantasy land, but there is an art to navigating the conflicting requirements and expectations within a defined budget up front when you are creating things with a very real potential to directly kill people if they go wrong. But this also brings a certain amount of conservatism that seems limiting at times of extremely rapid progress within a field of endeavour, such as we have seen in SV for the last few decades.
They did, it’s called android
In my experience with Waveshare e-ink displays, it's up to the application when to perform a full or partial refresh. Generally after so many draws, ghosting begins to appear and so you perform a refresh.
I think it has been tried unsuccessfully many times. There is even a Silicon Valley episode about it. Certainly it does not fit the "non-obvious" criterion.

Apart from gamers, people just don't want it.
The question I'd ask is can a dropshipper avoid selling counterfeits? They never inspect the product for QC. How do they know when the exporter is being dishonest?
To me they are categorically identical.

Rust code author knowingly exposes unsound safe Rust APIs.

The details are different. Actix did so in their own project and were willing to fix it (the debacle was mostly social, and in some sense even accidental), while here exposing unsound safe Rust APIs is the whole raison d'etre of the project.

AutoCXX doesn't even check that the underlying C++ code does not change. So even if an autogenerated safe Rust API happens to be "accidentally safe", that can change any time without Rust users knowing.
DRAM makers sell their chips only in JEDEC specifications, everything faster than that (3200+) needs to be binned by the module maker. For example, 3600CL16 is the standard choice for AMD systems, 3200CL14 is also very common and has much more aggressive timings than JEDEC.
I can not thank you enough for mentioning this. I think these are the exact early adopters I needed. I spoke with a physician at Duke and indeed there seems to be a dire pain point: you either drink very unpleasant sour lemonade, eat a bunch of sugar which has caloric and dental implications, or eat artificial sweeteners which taste bad.
