I've been able to get AutoHotKey working with almost the same script I use on Windows (had to make a few adjustments because keys were not recognized even though they're exactly the same). The way I got it working is by running it in the same Wine container.

I still prefer a native tool, to be fair, but I haven't been able to Interception to work. It seems a bit too complicated to my liking. Not that AHK is not complicated (it is) but the documentation is superb.

You can write a simple OS or a game engine, coding solo.

But you will never have enough time to write something comparable to modern Linux or Unreal alone.
Part-of-Speech Tagging in Natural Language Processing
There's a paradox, though. If we say e.g. YouTube is not allowed to remove content, that's actually a restriction of freedom of speech. In particular, YouTube's freedom of speech.

I'm not generally in favor of taking corporate personhood to logical extremes, but I'm kind of OK with companies having values and being able promote those values. Being able to promote some speech over others is part of that.

The First Amendment applies to the government because the government is a privileged party. Its role in society is dislike that of any private citizen or enterprise, and the restrictions we place on it reflect that uniqueness. It only makes sense to extend the First Amendment to other parties that have a unique role.

Which we do, e.g. Common Carrier restrictions on the movement of goods, and a variety of special requirements on telecommunications companies. If we want to say that social media platforms have become a core aspect of modern democracy and need to be regulated as such, there's an argument to be made. But applying it to private businesses in general is overreach in my opinion.

There's another line of reasoning that "First Amendment" is a stand-in for the societal value of freedom of speech. While it doesn't legally apply, we invoke it to mean that freedom of speech is the first-est of amendments, i.e. is the freedom that we rank more highly than any others. This still gets into the same paradox though. A company shouldn't be forced to equally support all viewpoints because then it's not a freedom, but we can certainly express dissatisfaction that a private party is acting in a way counter to the values of our society.

Stemming and Lemmatization in Natural Language Processing
But they're not going to do that for your project, only the ones they actually care about. In fact they already do this. Your macOS comes with bash (the old one because they don't like the new license) and a slew of other open source software. The whole thing is built on top of BSD. So they take what they want and then make you pay them for anything else.
Have you seen how people in the U.S. try and board airplanes?
It is also odd that they said "in a jetpack" rather than wearing or riding on/under a jetpack. Might this also be a very small but conventional aircraft? Might it be a mannequin mounted inside a smaller drone? Size gets distorted in these situations.

(FYI those hobby jets are one option, but there are considerably more capable small jets available, mostly used for cruise missiles and heavy drones.)

Sadly the game was only released in Japan hence why most of the western world have no idea this even exists.
Are you referring to the documented cases of UFO sightings by the US navy?
AFAIK there were also numerous pilot testimonies and radar logs to prove what was happening.

"You want to, functionally, ban protests."

You have a misunderstanding of what is legal, what is not, and what a peaceful protest is.

Blocking traffic is already banned.

That's 100% illegal in all cases.

'Protests' which infringe on the rights of others are just another form of fascism.

'My Fascism is Worthwhile' is not a civic or moral argument.

You can protest peacefully, vote, engage in other forms of civic obedience, but you can't do it at the expense of others, full stop.

As soon as someone starts trampling on your rights for a cause you don't agree with you'll scream 'victim' and then maybe have a different perspective.

I think it still is a "Apple greedy". If I were to operate a personal fleet of devices, I wouldn't be able to build my own software once and run it on the fleet. I'd have to build it everywhere. If Microsoft were to do the same thing, people certainly wouldn't be trying to rationalize it as anything else but the money grab that it is.
> There are certainly tools to detect any known CVEs, and tools to help you audit the unsafe code that you are using.

so they don't automatically prevent the code from containing new CVEs.

> That's a tool not a problem - you have yet to provide an argument that they are necessary and real world experience says that Rust achieves a meaningful amount of safety and convenience without them.

I can argue along the same line that Rust is a tool not a problem, and that you need to prove that Rust has a "meaningful" amount of safety. When you say that something has "meaningful amount of sth" you should add to whom it is meaningful and based on what criteria. Or, alternatively, you can stay on a pure technical aspect of the matter and conclude that the safety part of the language is not complete.

> That's also a tool not a problem, and you could argue that rust's ADTs (enums) give you a weak version of it.

totality checking is not exhaustiveness checking, there are two more properties that enums are unable to express in any "weak" form - termination and productiveness.

Introduction to Building Chatbots Using Rasa NLU
Apple gives away Xcode and allows people to sign apps for their own iOS devices for free (although they must resign those apps every week). This is intended to allow students and other non-professional developers to learn to code and experiment with Apple developer tools without paying any money.

Of course, Apple spends huge amounts of money on developer infrastructure (Xcode, LLVM, and Swift, for example). Since each additional copy of a piece of software does not incur additional costs for the developer, Apple can subsidize the development of developer tools using the $99 fee taken from (generally) professional developers who wish to publish their apps on the App Store or take advantage of notarization on macOS.

Many major open-source projects are largely developed by employees of large technology companies and foundations with significant budgets. The Linux kernel's largest committers oftentimes work at companies like Red Hat and Intel. Just because you get a given piece of open-source software for free does not mean that its development was done by volunteers in their free time.

What if a Twitter mob follows individuals around and prevents them from finding jobs because of some speech they said earlier?
You are partially correct but mostly incorrect, I would say.

It's true that writing safe code requires some study and some understanding. But you don't need to "know what's safe". That _is_ complicated - there are a lot of complex depths to the language. The thing is, the non-expert user can avoid them.

For example, a green developer can start with "Avoid using new and delete directly; use vectors, other containers, or unique_ptr's instead. Maybe shared_ptr's in some cases." If at some point they really need to write their own allocating class, they'll be told to be very careful with the allocation, and take into account the possibility of exceptions, concurrent execution by other threads etc.

Also, when you're not sure of yourself, there's a good enough reference in the form of the C++ Core Guidelines [1]. (That's a long document, but you don't need to read through it.)

Finally, a whole lot of memory error hazards / unsafe code can be statically identified and discouraged. Gradually, IDEs and other tools have started doing so.

> Now you sold all the data your business had about me and the service, so I need to check the new EULA etc, and need to reevaluate if I want to use this service futher along the way.

Maybe I'm just cynical, but I pretty much assume that any service I buy into will one day be acquired and the data transferred to someone else.

I understand this user's frustration, but how many times are we going to see acquisitions involving user data happen before we all come to the consensus that this is what people who monetize products do?

I think it's really naive in 2020 for someone to sign up for a tweet photo service like this to get upset that the product gets acquired and their data handed over. Let's be honest here, this service takes data from one massive aggregator of user data and posts it to another massive aggregator of user data. Are you really that concerned that someone other than Zuckerberg or Dorsey has your public instagram data now? It's not like either of those companies have glowing reputations around user privacy either.

Thank you! I've heard of Ghost but it seemed to be only for blogs, so I didn't think it'd fit. I'll check it again.
I totally agree with you.
Unfortunately as of today, people are not putting enough attention on who they give their sensitive information to.
Data breaches are increasing in number, billion of accounts are hacked every day (I just discovered one of my side-accounts got hacked through https://haveibeenpwned.com/), nevertheless the majority of us is still not protecting its data properly (perhaps the problem relies on ignoring the problem itself?).
And the situation is even more dramatic in the B2B market: I work in the cybersecurity industry and every day I see companies being hit by these attacks.
That is why, I always advice the people I know to start using privacy-oriented tools that could actually prevent or help preventing something like this to happen.
Like using a password manager (https://1password.com)to create strong password and store them, or a secure email system (https://protonmail.com), or "simply" by keeping your systems and softwares up-to-date or by backing up your data.

We, at Cubbit, are contributing to the mission of getting back our privacy by building a distributed and encrypted cloud storage service that puts users in control of their data (https://business.cubbit.io).

Keep that stuff away from my filesystem is my first thought on the matter!

Having had a fair amount of experience dealing with case sensitive, case insensitive and HFS+ (argh!) file systems in rclone, all I can say is that it is really hard and much better left to user space. Rclone does syncing between diverse systems with different ideas about case sensitivity and normalization when matching up the the source file with the destination file.

I'm not even sure that I agree with normalizing the UTF-8 strings - some users really care that they have two files which look identical but have different encoding, for example files with é and é which evaluate to 0x65+0x301 and 0xE9 respectively but look identical.

I might possibly go for filenames having to be valid UTF-8 - that would at least be consistent with Windows and macOS.

PS I haven't found a way of discovering whether a file system is case insensitive or case sensitive without creating a file - is it possible?

I'm surprised. I've been using it for ~10 years now, on multiple Linux (CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian) and Win7 in the past, and it's always been rock solid and extremely reliable, albeit slower than I' d like (but not too slow as to be unusuable).

I've also collaborated and discussed with hundreds of other conda users, and except for speed and the lack of official lockfiles[0], there were no complaints, only praise.

With TouchBar, you cannot change volume quickly without looking at the keyboard, spotlight gets activated all the time as you lay your hands around the keyboard -- yes, it's really that awful for many folk.

A lot of people use MacBook Pros for software development and Terminal access, and F1-F12 keys are often mapped to specific functions, from console software in Terminal, to cross-platform web browsers, to VirtualBox and such. It's not that difficult to remember which Fn key stands for which functions if you're a professional, it's easier to document Fn than the special case of a pictogram that's only available on select hardware, and Fn is 100% backwards-compatible, cross-platform and supported through Terminal OSS applications, plus much faster to use if you're a professional.

If you're a non-professional user who's never used F1-F12? Yes, sure, the TouchBar might be distractingly enjoyable to look at.

If you control your own "DNS" this site does not access any of those different domains. I do this, for speed and reliability, not privacy. When I access this site, the only domain my client accesses is "thistooshallgrow.com", which is hosted on squarespace. That hosting company requires a UA in addition to Host and Connection headers otherwise no others are required. Most sites do not require a UA header. I like to control the headers I send, too. Not for privacy; I just like the control and minimalism. This site, like most any site, works just fine for me in a text-only browser. I read the same content as anyone using a "modern" browser, minus the ads, tracking or other nonsense. I see no irony. Except perhaps that you are using a browser that defaults to enabling those automatic accesses to different domains, a browser that is in fact supported by the web advertising industry. You need an extension to modify the program's behaviour to block ads, etc.

What happened is that the actual head showed up and squeezed everyone else into a tail. Previous tail has been pushed out into a long tail.

If you have had a chance to work with the companies in the content scene, you would recognize the pattern. A couple of top tier accounts (head) account for the lion's share of hot content and hence monetization, the next level of accounts (tail) - dozens to hundreds - has some hot content and hence monetization but at a fraction of the previous tier. Finally the rest of the accounts have nearly no hot content and hence no monetization (long tail).

From an outside perspective based strictly on the content itself it is very difficult to determine the difference between tail and long tail. It is even unclear the difference between some of the long-tail and the head.

Ghost is pretty neat! It's self-hosted solution though, which means that you have to update your OS and the software (Ghost related or not) on it regularly if you don't want it to be vulnerable which isn't ideal if you're not technical and don't want to deal with this.
I was assigned an Apple rMBP in 2012 and ended up installing Linux on it precisely because you couldn't trust the file system. In my case, I had a directory with a specific name in lower-case, and without realizing it, created a file with the same name in Pascal case which then wiped out my directory full of content. Back-ups are important but they shouldn't be required simply to rectify stupid OS decisions.
I'm wondering: Is it possible to take a whole-system trace as benchmark? E.g by replacing glibc malloc, booting the system from 0, then placing some interesting loads. For every malloc/free/realloc, write to some file the
pid,tid,size, process private bytes.

Performance will probably be horrible, of course.

This being HN, i fully expect someone responding that was the state of the art in 1970 and here is a site containing every possible trace ;-)

"If you set the bar at "your point has to be true before you can protest", then goodbye free speech."

This is not true at all.

You can 100% not block traffic to do it.
