> But you were talking about generics, which implied you were incorrectly conflating that with template meta-programming, since generics are done with templates.

I'm aware this is a pointless discussion, but please double check your claims are right if we are in "check mode". I did not say "generics".

Maybe you shouldn't make such statements if you don't know about my experience. I am speaking from experience, and exchanging subjective experiences isn't worthwhile most of the time, but sometimes (if people don't go down to personal attacks) there is a new viewpoint to find.
This has some serious Eternal September vibes, like when we reached the tipping point of more normies than nerds using the web. It makes me unreasonably angry that average users are being led down this path and are blithely accepting it, with those who object seemingly a shrinking minority.

I was practically shouting at my screen the first couple times I got thrown into the new design (before I figured out how to avoid it). If reddit really does shut down the old interface, I will absolutely be gone.
It doesn’t cost anything to spend 4 hours of your time doing anything, so it doesn’t really wipe out any savings. Reducing a bill from $400 month to $200 is real money, not some theoretical time/value judgement.

And, as others have mentioned, there is enormous value in knowing how to operate on a fairly lean tech stack. It makes it so much simpler to scale effectively while keeping costs down.

Leaving the Rust core team
To be fair - I do think this term is a better description, eg for the company desktop you are using, the pc you happen to be on in a library, at a friend’s place etc etc.
I would also think that from an ownership perspective, the number of Windows PCs owned by the individuals using them is going to be a minority (I’d love to find some numbers on this but do not think they are reported?)
B2B Emails That Strike a Deal
There is a plugin for chrome which forces old.reddit.com, can't remember the name but should be easy enough to find. And for mobile I use the Apollo app, which is fantastic. I've actually switched from using reddit mostly on desktop to using it almost exclusively on mobile because Apollo is so good
It also mentions 1969 as being 25 years prior.

One of my favorite features of plan9 is how it handles the bin directory.

For one, you can have sub-directories inside the bin directory. This lends to a nice hierarchy of commands and encourages writing small single purpose commands instead of large monolith commands. An example of this is the `ip/ping` command.

Another feature uses the union file system which prevents me from having to mess with $PATH locating commands.

Linux is considered a walled garden? Really?

I mean yeah, there were more operating systems before, some of which were open.. but I'm not convinced it's necessarily bad to have one open system win.

If it didn't, I'm pretty sure there would be a lot more people using windows servers, which I think would've been far worse for the open community.
> For beginners it's a nightmare

I've taught undergraduate students some basic shell use for being able to compile their C programs. It's not really that bad. You have them use bash and you teach them some basic syntax and a few shell-usable programs, including man. You tell them that there is a lot of things the shell can do that we won't be discussing, so they have to be careful not use arbitrary symbols and to double-quote names. And I also tell them that bash is just one kind of shell, and that some systems have other shells by default, but we are working on a system which defaults to bash. I then tell them to check with "echo $SHELL" if they're on another system than the one we are working on, and if they don't see "/bin/bash" or "/usr/bin/bash" then they should ask someone for help.

That's enough to satisfy newbies in my experience.
Now this I call a reasonable comment! I learned something, thank you.
This is correct except the 0-2 months. Even if you accept dating a pregnancy as starting at the start of your previous cycle, these tests will be positive before your next cycle would have started. The typical “is this a positive test” is around 8-10 days post ovulation and a few days before their period is due. They’d get a definitive test 1-3 days later. So the period of “it’s positive but I can’t be sure” is something like 0.9-0.97 cycles into a pregnancy (again, with the weird dating from your last period’s start and complicated by the fact that most people don’t know ovulation dates & cycle lengths frequently vary).

If you’re well into a pregnancy, tests will actually start getting lighter due to how the tests work. It’s called the Hook Effect and can start happening around 5 weeks of pregnancy (https://www.captodayonline.com/Archives/0612/0612f_not_so_ob...).

This is BS. You have a much higher chance of rasing money for the same idea if you worked in FAANG than if you worked in Accenture.

Same goes to someone who went to Harvard vs someone who went to University of Colorado.
In my discussions with Reddit admins, they've said that old.reddit.com will be around forever. However, it won't get new features (or a very watered down version of new features).

After all, .compact links [0] still work, and those are super old.

Yeah, I complained about the redesign at first, but now I can't go back to using old Reddit.
It’s been such a joy to learn C.

There’s a very vocal group that tells you not to write in C because it’s unsafe, immoral and you’ll burn in hell if you do but the fact is...I would never be able to understand the problem Rust is trying to solve until I’ve recreated the problems in C. By now I’ve hit a good amount of segmentation faults.

Would really love to know if there’s a list of all the possible ways to get one oF these in C.
I don't disagree with you on Anny point but you cheat when you say you want to run it on phone. Windows Phone was a miles ahead of droid and iOS and lost only due to the anti-microsoft culture of silicon valley. (Unless you want torun windows desktop on phone in which case just buy a netbook)
Well users want a web-based forum. Reddit want money and influencing power.

I mean it's all a system (now, not necessarily at it's inception) to manipulate us either to get our vote or our money and offer just enough utility to entice us in.

Would really like to see a public interest company run a major forum; even HN has an element of bias to serve YCombinators interests.

I'd like 'reddit but purely serving the interests of the users as closely as possible', as much as anything just to see what is possible.

Google Maps Adds Traffic Light Support
I just finished a contract at a client that still has a live OpenVMS system running a mission critical application. It was interesting to compare my 25 year old fond memories of the OS with the practical experience of using it on a daily basis. No command line history, crazy long file paths, and case insensitive passwords were a shock. On the other hand, the built in DCL programming language was a saving grace. My wife, amazingly, found my decades-old copy of the "Writing Real Programs in DCL" book. Because of that, I looked like a VMS superhero.

Ditto. The web experience is so user-unfriendly. I haven't been using reddit in a long time now and I am so much happier for it.
Been using “man” for years, understand it’s section system and have made a few man pages for various utility programs I’ve made.

The man page for built-ins is never the quick reference I want, so I generally end up falling back to google for that stuff rather than try and figure out where it’s documented.

Anyway, TIL “help” is a command I can try.

I haven’t used it in awhile, but “cht.sh” is basically what I expect “man” to give me, but comprehensively, for everything, and by the program author(s).

Public repos with easily searchable source and a good README are even better tho, of course.

That Siri sends recordings to humans for analysis without user consent is a myth. I went through a screen pointing out this is exactly what will happen, and buttons to opt in or out, during initial OS setup. This was a while ago, before iOS 14. The myth is likely perpetuated by people who do not use Apple devices.
Human trafficking hurts the profits of almost no large corporation; so - there's no economic pressure to eradicate it.

I'm not saying everyone is the same, nor being cynical.

I'm saying that the standard TJ sets in the speech, and that most people instinctively judge newspapers by is an unreasonable one for a newspaper. He basically says this himself in the speech. Newspapers are not purely factual, by nature. If you want simple facts, you can read the wire services that newspapers often report based on.

Meanwhile, we wouldn't judge other things by this standard. The pertinent example (considering who is making this statement) is a political pamphlet. Honesty, intellectual and otherwise, is important here too. Some pamphleteers are more or less honest than others. But, we don't expect a purely factual and politically neutral pamphlet. When Jefferson wrote his own stuff, pamphlets, autobiography, etc.... he was working within that medium and the nature of the medium dictates a lot.

This position sometimes reduces to "newspaper are just illegitimate." I mean, if you want statistics on the epidemic... those are available. Read wikipedia^. No narrative. No hype. There are plenty who also tabulate and summarize these for you, including google. They just aren't newspapers.

It's (IMO) either intellectually dishonest or naive to want or expect a newspaper to do exactly what wikipedia does and no more. That isn't what a newspaper is.

In practice, this type of argument (I don't think this applies to TJ's speech) is usually made when someone dislikes a narrative. Either that or they're just sick of bad journalism. But, "just print the facts" isn't a newspaper. Newspaper write narratively. That's what they are. You can get "just facts" if you want. You just need to read something that isn't a newspaper.

Because podcasts aren't centralized..

Podcasts often made available on lots of platforms and apps. That would mean the podcast owner would need to check all of those places regularly to respond to people - if they miss a platform they'd be accused of ignoring their audience by people who listen there. That's a lot of effort. Rather than doing that podcasters often have a website for their podcast that (sometimes) lets listeners engage with them, or they use social media with a Twitter or Insta account for the podcast.
The bugs are detected only from keyword matching in bug fix commits. The "FIX_KEY_WORDS" are fix key words in a fix-commit.

You set up a branch to track ("TRACKED_BRANCH") commits on (its 'master' by default). A history of commits, from last 30 days by default, is extracted from that branch on installation and bug fixes are detected from commit messages.

After installation, the app subscribes to push events (pull request merges are also push events) on the "tracked_branch" .On every push to the tracked branch, all the commits in the push are checked for bug-fix commits and the file cache is updated accordingly if there are any bug-fix commits.

> Have you ever tried to read git documentation? It is the most useless godawful piece of nonsense

I ran "man git" for the first time ever.

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/git.1.html

Heey, that's actually pretty good! I don't think it's "godawful". In the second sentence it recommends starting with gittutorial and giteveryday, for a "useful minimum set of commands".

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/gittutorial.7.html

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/giteveryday.7.html

I must admit, I still occasionally (regularly?) search for "magic incantations", particular combinations of flags for sed, git, rsync, etc. But the man pages are my first go-to, and they usually do the job as a proper documentation system. It's better than most software I've worked with outside (or on top) of the OS, with their ad-hoc, incomplete or outdated docs.

Silicon Valley's Remote Software Updates Are Upending the Automotive Industry
I echo the complains about the default interface becoming worse with every update (especially on mobile, where it's borderline unusable) but I think it's interesting to see where this trend is headed.

It seems obvious to me that Reddit is trying very hard to transition from link aggregator to full blown social network. It's pretty wild when you remember that the original reddit didn't even have comments!

But now they self-host photos, videos, galleries, chatrooms, custom user pages etc... They're not a link aggregator anymore, they're trying to be Instagram for people who think they're too cool for Instagram.

But if you want to become Instagram you need to be an app first and a website 2nd, so they're working very hard to kill the web.

I sorta sort of look forward for the day they kill old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com, this way I won't have any excuse to browse the website anymore which will free some time for more interesting things.
I've never used libvirt in combination with OpenVZ or LXC, but when I read that I interpret it as "a domain is a VM or a container" with some kind of VM running on the system to facilitate containers.

The article is seven years old, so I can imagine that this was how the project once ran containers, but it doesn't anymore. Reading the documentation[1] I don't the VM is relevant anymore for containers, at least. The docs say libvirt manages LXC container directly through the kernel API, so there's no VM to speak of there. The OpenVZ docs[2] also mention that the containers run on the host, not in a VM.

To an extent.

But a human isn't trained from scratch. Babies go through huge amounts of unsupervised learning to build up a basic vision and language framework.

Training a neural network to recognize dog pictures is like connecting electrodes to your tongue and trying to do the same. Rudimentary "vision" (very small resolution) has actually been demonstrated this way in human experiments, but you definitely need more than a few examples.

A fairer comparison is: can giant pertained NNs learn to generalize with few examples, and the answer seems to be yes.
An Alternative to WebBundles
Not all relationship/interactions with social media will be positive or neutral. Everybody knows about social media addiction already, for example. The analogy of abusive relationship IRL with various web dark patterns seems new.

I think the availability of "help" depends on what shell you're using. It's a builtin in bash.
Unless there's breach of contract involved you've usually got a basic tort lawsuit. The bar for civil infraction charge is generally lower in practice than for a tort judgement. The state can pass whatever stupid law it wants and then get conviction based on the fact that the law was broken even if nobody is injured. For a lawsuit you need injury. A prior civil or criminal case can be pointed to in order to establish a fact pattern but a fact pattern doesn't win you a lawsuit.

That said, in reality there's generally an exception if the person you're suing is a class of person that doesn't in practice get equal protection under the law (people who are drunk when the problem happened and people who have been convicted of certain crimes are the most common classes of people who suffer this fate).
They do. Lots of the podcasts I listen to ask users to leave comments on their website. Some even read out the comments in subsequent episodes.

But moderating comments - even on a niche post - is a chore. Wading through spam, trolls, arguments, etc isn't fun. It's much easier to ask commenters to email in - and that's what the majority seem to do.
