The dictionary defines it as "link together in a chain or series", but in practice on many UNIX systems it's come to mean simply, 'write to stdout' which unless you get into redirection, is just a user's terminal.

I get that the big metaphor was 'small pieces, loosely joined', but this one has always seemed half-baked to me - e.g, it's often too small to be useful without a bit more effort by you, the person typing things.

Isn't that just survivorship bias? The old software that survived either had massive lock-in or was good enough to survive. In another 20 years, some software from today will survive, and that too will be the stuff that was big enough, caused enough lock-in, or was good enough to stand the test of time.

The name of the Washington football team was also used "without any thought", and that there was no need to change it as it wasn't meant as a slight against the group for whom the name is a slur. But it turns out that these things can be hurtful even if you don't mean them in a nasty way.

But yeah, "off in left field" is a baseball thing; no one is harmed or offended by that— even if you do apply it to politics or use it in a political context, as the WP article briefly mentions, politics are something you choose, not your cultural identity, so it really isn't the same thing at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_left_field

Another interesting case is the phrase "balls to the wall" which has a harmless origin with aeronautics, but is spicy enough on account of an obvious alternative interpretation that it isn't used in polite company.
> Im locked into alexa. and now, i'm digging my way out. I fell into the trap!

I'm curious, how do you get locked into alexa?
It can be a good investment, I certainly have done it and did it for almost a decade. I bought properties cash, the first purchase was (with half of my parents) money in Miami 2007. I made 50% in less than four years and continued doing that in California, until 2018 and I at the moment no longer own property.

Home is ok, but if you’re not paying cash for it, is it really yours? And while yours outright you’re on the hook for annual taxes; good luck in Austin with that
They don't want lists in the description. Things that look like this, and this, and this, plus this, this, and this, would trip the sensor.

It's dumb, but it is what it is.
That's kind of the point. It makes it disingenuous when Apple says "everyone loves our SDKs, they're getting so much value out of them that a 30% cut is a bargain!" when everyone is papering over the APIs with a game engine and would be just as happy with a generic chipset vendor OpenGL ES implementation
> I feel like more and more society is penalizing people for having kids and I feel like that’s a sickness in a society.

How, though? Tax breaks haven't gone away and FMLA has been expanded. This, despite the fact that we're seeing the environmental impacts of rampant, unchecked population growth every day. If there's a sickness in society, maybe it's an inability to look in the mirror and say "hey, maybe we don't need humanity to occupy every square inch of the planet".
I agree. I earn something comparable and I'd say I provide far, far less value to any community or even my employer.
Agreed. Just like how I don't want to roll my own desktop environment on Linux, I will happily accept a good config rollef for me, even if opinionated.

Ha, I don't disagree! Getting some stairs in is good for my health. My point was more about how disruptive it is to try and juggle activities happening simultaneously all over the house. My office is upstairs, my kids do schoolwork at the dining table downstairs. We're working out a schedule where my wife and I will alternate between our offices and taking our laptops down to sit at the dining table next to the kids, but it's barely controlled chaos right now. It'll settle down a lot as everyone figures out the new routine, but it's never going to be as simple as getting them dressed, fed, and out the door to the school for the day.

I can't speak to most of them, but I would say that the effort to create a Python wrapper for Intel MKL and deep learning frameworks has proven to be an excellent use of development resources.

But that's Python, where the language is slow enough that any marshaling costs can generally be dismissed as a rounding error. The practicalities may be different in a shop that is deciding between Rust and C++.

Ask HN: Does anyone else notice increased incompetence?
I'm not talking about lower level jobs, but in important areas. I'm noticing incompetence and complacency from people in positions which could very negatively impact lives. I'm seeing it more now than ever before.

For example, I've been trying to get medical records for 3 weeks and the office keeps: faxing the wrong number, faxing the wrong release forms, giving us incorrect status info, etc.

Another example is a legal matter I'm now involved with. The officer wrote the citation for the wrong statute (more serious), gave us incorrect information in how to request records, misspelled a name on the citation, and put the wrong time (by hours) on the citation. The court also gave us incorrect information on requesting records, gave us the wrong kind of subpeona and won't correct it, and the staff doesn't even know what an affidavit is.

We saw several doctors during an SVT event 48 hours after multiple simultaneous immunizations. They all said unequivocally that the events were unrelated, but could not produce data to support their opinion nor refute the thousands of arrhythmia events in VAERS data. (There's no data to concretely prove or disprove, so it's unknown). So now I have to submit ther VAERS report. Doctors like this will lead to under reporting, impacting studies on safety.
Those who believe in the self-organization of markets would not interfere, rather work outside of them with regulation and social safety nets.
I think we can both agree that there is a lot of value in knowing the "actual value" (as opposed to speculative value) of things in our society. Knowing the actual value of things is impossible for multiple reasons it (it changes very fast and is just intrinsically very hard). However, given a big incentive (making money) we can let the market estimate the value of goods for our society. This speculative valuation is far from perfect, but it is the closest we can get to the actual valiation of goods/institutions.
That's one of the best features of the language; I would rather call it "reasonable and conscientious" than "fanatical".

You are making a logical fallacy and I don't think it's worth my time to actually attempt to discuss this with you.
The primary benefit of automating small/ (mundane?) things is that it gets rid of a some of the cognitive load.

For example, I wrote some shell scripts, gradle/TC plugins, when my company moved to kubernetes/openshift. We did not have devops, paas standardization then. The scripts are now getting used in many projects in a couple of departments. And it was just word of mouth adaption. It is as not very fancy stuff nor is it a company wide standard. But it is useful and it hides/gets rid of complexity which new projects/developers no longer have to worry about. Danger area: trying to be too generic, parameterize everything, you end up with frameworks and processes. As a senior dev, I generally aim at solving my problem and if possible making the solution usable in the immediate vicinity. Keeping it minimal and simple makes it usable for others when the problem is not exact match.

OK. Let's assume that Apple wins. Smartphones makers can legally completely lock the users so you run only what they approve. In your opinion if Android is locked then is the argument "use Android if you don't like iOS walls" completely obliterated?

I am curious if TikTok gets banned and then will Apple remove the app from existing phones or somehow block it and will they do it for non US citizens (inside and outside US).
Given this blog post I have no idea if it even works well for English. Sure, the demo video contains sensible recommendations but what gives?

> Also as noted elsewhere, existing web features already allowed reading files and even entire directories;

None of theses access are persistent though.

If only that was enough.. there's plenty of important file outside of what will be defined as "system directories" by whoever define them.

I love particularly this part of the documentation:

> Another risk factor is that of ransomware attacks. The limitations described above regarding blocking access to certain sensitive directories helps limit the damage such an attack can do. Additionally user agents can grant write access to files at whatever granularity they deem appropriate.

They are perfectly aware of the risk, yet completely ignore it. At least it won't be whatever the browser define as "sensitive directories".

"desirable neighborhoods" in Chicago is code for living in a bubble (should be very firmly noted that this is NOT race-related). Yes, you pay a lot more for that. There are neighborhoods in the city that have lower crime, faster access to downtown, higher median incomes, better-rated schools and lower house prices than many of the "desirable neighborhoods". The Near South Side is an obvious example.

However, you can look at the tax rates within Cook County and even compare them to the suburban counties [1]. The composite property tax rate is as low as it gets around here. Most cities are double or triple the Chicago rate.

It isn't as good of a deal as when I moved here, but if you've got a tech or other white-collar salary, Chicago is still a really good deal. It's your responsibility to consider cost when choosing a location within the metro area. If you ignore it, you shouldn't be surprised that you pay more.

[1] https://www.cookcountyclerk.com/service/tax-extension-and-ra...

EDIT - Illinois and Texas heavily depend on property taxes for local funding. The actual rates you pay have an insanely high variance from city to city. Some taxing districts don't align with city boundaries either, so one neighborhood may pay more than another. You can use it as a proxy for how well-run a city is, but on the other hand Chicago isn't a particularly well-run city - it just has a huge amount of high-value commercial and industrial property (which is taxed at double the rate of residential property). If you're going to live in either state, you really need to look at the hyper-local tax rates and put that into your decision matrix. The data isn't even hard to find.

Estimating the regional effects of climate change with downscaled climate models
They better do it, after all that is the reasoning behind the Microsoft internal politics to kill C++/CX via C++/WinRT.

That now we have an ISO C++17 compliant framework and are supposed to wait for ISO C++23 reflection until Visual C++ team bothers to provide the same level of UWP/XAML tooling that C++/CX enjoys since 2012.

Until then, C++/WinRT provides a revivalist experience for those that missed the opportunity to deal with bare bones IDL file editing alongside ATL.
Every buy is a sale, and every sale is a buy.

I am a long term investor. Long term investors like me still need to buy or sell stock occasionally, even if only to live out their retirement eventually.

There's no good reason to assume that for every long term who wants to buy or sell on a particular date, there will be another long term investor on the other side of the deal.

So a special kind of short term investor, called a market maker, jumps in. Market makers typically hold a small amount of inventory and offer to buy or sell stock.

Market makers allow your grandma to sell stock any day of the week without worrying too much about timing.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_maker

There are other kinds of short term holders of shares. But market makers are probably the most obviously useful to long term investors.
Absolutely not, you're forgetting cache size / speed, instructions ect ... a recent 2ghz proc beats easily an old 4ghz one.
Sure. No one is saying that the person is bad for saying it. Indeed, they're probably a good person, and for that reason may be interested in hearing why the phrase is better avoided. Particularly if their regular travels (friends, work colleagues, etc) may not put them in contact with indigenous people.
Rethinking Human-AI Interaction
I don't think there's anything wrong with this situation and in fact it is being actively maintained and extended. We use C# and Python for high level but generally drop down to C++ when needed. It takes us more time to make the C++ code bullet proof but it's generally smaller amounts of code in a very specific style.
You'd think so, since that's the main thing it's used for anymore. But check the output of --help. Changing case, ascii to ebcdic, doesn't really fit the bill.
I'm surprised I don't see this discussed more in the context of web scraping, but XPath is not only much more powerful, but can also be made robust against such techniques.

Sure, if you change the page structure enough you could defeat it, but it would require more than just adding a few divs. XPath easily lets you mix and match matching against not just CSS classes, but also the page's structure itself, inner text, attributes, and so on. As a result, you can get some really powerful queries without having any kind of complex post-processing of the results.
By “research” I really meant “searching, then searching again...and again”, not actual research. Word choice is important in HN comments because you all are too sharp.

for all the benefits of rust at a language level, the package ecosystem is a bigger component of its success IMO. 'C++ with enums and a working package manager' is rust's value prop for some teams.

Yes. He would more than double that by joining at the E5/L5 level at Facebook/Google, which he's almost certainly qualified to do. But given the success of Vue.js and his status in the JS community, he'd probably be a marquee hire at the E6/L6 level.

However he would be sacrificing a lot of autonomy to do so, because Vue.js would effectively be developed under the same corporate stewardship model as React and Angular. He doesn't make as much money as he could given his accomplishments, but he maintains broad control and ownership over his work.

Likewise his Patreon sponsorships can increase over time as Vue.js increases in adoption. And if he wants more income, he can take on lucrative consulting contracts for Vue.js deployments with large tech companies. A few of those per year would likely meet or exceed everything he's bringing in through Patreon.
It doesn't get less impartial than publishing original source classified documents with little to no commentary. That's what WikiLeaks is/does.

The Intercept and The Guardian add a layer of partiality/bias with narratives that paint state secrecy as inherently problematic. Somewhat paradoxically this anti-state bias in reporting makes them MORE palatable/acceptable; because their narrative justifies their role as the fourth estate of government.

WikiLeaks' position is that this narrative is implicit and doesn't need reiterated with each leak. Unfortunately powerful institutions and people experience the world in narratives and the importance of the fourth estate isn't one that is strongly engrained in their thinking. So, they go after WikiLeaks because of its impartiality.

WikiLeaks shouldn't have to add bias to every new publication to be legitimate. That's plainly backwards. They absolutely have the high ground here. All they need to do is paint the narrative to the courts that organizations like The Intercept paint continuously.

If the courts don't accept the narrative as sufficient justification then they drive the nails in the coffin of the free press at large.

> Is it even possible to hold management accountable for anything at all?

Of course, it's the way things work now. And it has nothing to do with compensation.

Employees are held accountable by management, and are fired when underperforming.

Management is held accountable by the board -- and is similarly fired when underperforming. CEO's are let go all the time.

And the board is held accountable to shareholders -- as owners change or demand new policies, board composition changes accordingly.

Of course if the CEO/founder owns more than 50% of voting shares then the board is more advisory than anything else, but that's the exception -- and it's simply what you get from being the owner.
