The flip side of this is that it means most projects come with an old version of autotools--and if you need to do something where "old" is equivalent to "broken", it becomes a wonderful world of pain.

A specific example I ran into was compiling random projects with -flto. libtool, in its infinite wisdom, decided long ago that it was a bad idea to pass any -f flags to the linker invocation and so stripped them out, even if you the user manually told it to via LDFLAGS. This of course breaks -flto--so newer versions of libtool got the picture and whitelisted that flag. Except projects haven't updated libtool for a while, so you have to patch their source to get it to work.
So you think that humans can sit there and simply watch, 8 hours a day for the rest of their lives, and not lose focus ever? I have yet to encounter a system built on that premise that wasn't woefully ineffective.

Which is not to mention that these workers have ridiculously weak motivations. They create nothing, spending hundreds of hours merely testing out someone else's work. They exist in a field with very little upward mobility, since they are effectively the only non-skilled labor at their companies. Even if there were upward mobility, they work in a field where their job is to help eliminate their job. The only thing offsetting that is that the pay is slightly better than equivalent options.

I can understand why people lose attention driving these cars around.
You and I are talking past one another, and I suspect we are unlikely to come to any sort of satisfying agreement.

I believe, fundamentally, a landlord who makes a profit is immoral. Therefore, I'm not interested in understanding someone's financial responsibility.

I believe financial responsibility is not an adequate proxy for general responsibility for the reasons I've stated above (criminal backgrounds, poverty, lack of education, etc) that shouldn't be barriers to getting housing.

My guess is that if we are unable to agree on credit checks as unnecessarily invasive, then I really don't think we'll come to a reasonable stopping point for "landlords are fundamentally an immoral enterprise".

If you'd like to have the last word in the thread, by all means.

Tiling isn't particularly difficult to implement on macOS with e.g. Phoenix:

https://github.com/kasper/phoenix/

I hacked something together several+ years ago (see below) based on someone else's config, and I've maybe edited it twice since then, so it likely can be substantially improved. Also, I'm sure it's not as slick as a true tiling manager, but I've certainly gotten a lot of mileage out of it:

we are chemical soups sloshing around within our meat sacs.

i am interested though.. in the imaginary friends children make...could it be that when we are children, the brain releases 'DMT like' chemicals or signals that make them hallucinate our imaginary friends. children lose this ability when they grow up.

same with ghosts and alien sightings. i think ..on a more diluted level..people with synesthetic proclivities. many religious and spiritual experiences can also trigger meeting 'other entities' not from our plane. angels and such. fairies etc.

finally, could be seizures. certain kinds of epileptic episodes can trigger hallucinations and visualizations.

Ask HN: Facebook Groups alternative – which forum software to use?
Hi there, lately I've joined a few communities which tend to use Facebook groups platform for internal communication.

I'm coming from good old ways when IBP was a thing and experience is absolutely different, cluttered and chaotic.

I'd like to setup platforms for these communities, but deciding which software to use is not that easy to decide, thus I'm asking to HN community for assistance.

P.S. I'd also need to localize the platform into Georgian language.

Thanks,

Seconding this; the only thing I miss from i3 is the fact that yabai almost by definition can't be better integrated with the OS, so there's a slight increase in latency that's barely perceptible but enough to make me notice how much zippier my Linux boxes + i3 are. Small price to pay for how much more comfortable they make me on macOS, though.
Not Wi-Fi, but mobile phone/data. From the article:

“[T]he change of course is produced by indications of the captain of the boat, who gave instructions to approach about 5 miles away from the coast of Mauritius, looking for a telephone and internet signal, so that the crew members could communicate with their families,” the AMP said.

There is a classic Slate Star Codex post/short story about whether DMT entities can do math: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/04/21/universal-love-said-th...
Recognition of human capabilities in attention in repetitive tasks is important. As an earlier commenter said, lifeguards are limited to 30 minute intervals in their experience. I think baggage screeners with TSA (this is not an endorsement or attack on 'security theater', but an acknowledgement of how they address this issue) have similar time limitations due to focus drop off.

I think the TSA also keeps scanners on their toes by digitally placing contraband in the bag pictures at various intervals to make sure the scanner is able to stay engaged (and maybe to get some metrics on hit/miss rates). Maybe these supervised self driving cars need to project a deer jumping into the road and log the driver's response or something.
yeah, i've wondered about this too.

the natural thing to do is to just unroll the models in time. the classic case of this is a hidden Markov Model, but you can easily have a more complicated time-indexed DAG.

There are also some interesting connections to reinforcement learning (MDP can be expressed as DAG e.g. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/..., and then many RL algorithms are equivalent to causal inference estimators).

it seems like people deal with equilibria and feedback loops in a pretty ad-hoc way though.

What an absolute load of tripe. I'd gladly pay even higher taxes than I do to make sure everyone has access to healthcare and benefits when they need them. "unknown person leeching off the government" is the attitude that just needs to die, it annoys me so much that people still believe this crap, any one of us can be this "unknown person" at some point.
That's kind of an elitist viewpoint, though. I imagine the "experts on the mailing lists" are largely contributors, and really only represent a certain class of users of the language at large.

I'm not a Go user at all, but it reminds me a bit of like back when Gnome3 took a direction completely different than what I loved about Gnome2 (Apple worship, largely), which eventually lead to projects like MATE and Cinnamon.
> Any person left to "monitor" the vehicle will not be paying attention most of the time.

I'm not actually convinced that's true. Heck, people drive regular cars "mostly on autopilot". Haven't you ever "stopped paying attention" and then realize you don't even remember the last 5 minutes of driving?

But it's not really a safety issue, because your brain is very capable of automatically and instantly detecting anything out of the ordinary to alert you to, like something in the road in front of you.

Literally all you have to do is just keep your eyes on the road. You don't have to be paying constant "conscious" attention... you just have to have your eyes in the right place so your brain can automatically alert you if something's not right. Which it is excellent at doing.

Now I'm not saying that somebody can do it for 36 hours straight or without occasional breaks or whatever. But the idea that this is somehow inherently a task we're not suited for is just ludicrous.

In this particular case though, it doesn't even have anything to do with her capabilities of sustained attention. She chose to watch a TV show on her phone. She actively and consciously chose to utterly neglect her safety duties, the entire purpose of her job.
The stupid reason: the celebration of the birthday of one of the crew members.

Or do your homework and find that it’s actually far worse than pro-nuclear propagandists constantly claim. Huge increases in rates of multiple forms of cancer near nuclear sites, while the rest of the country is seeing decreases - but not attributed to nuclear. Huge environmental problems and costs pawned off on the US dept of energy and taxpayers, but not attributed to nuclear. Assassinated whistleblowers.

Nuclear industry is a textbook example of regulatory capture. If the renewable guys were anywhere near as good we’d see 0 deaths from solar and wind. “The solar panel didn’t kill him, it was gravity and a slippery ladder”
As terrible as this is, I think a more sympathetic headline would be, "Mauritius oil spill occurred when tanker captain sought telephone and internet signal, so that the crew members could communicate with their families."

Then add the following, and it's even more understandable:

> Some observers say the missteps could be linked to the stress that ship crews are under in the upheaval caused by the COVID-19 shutdowns. It has become challenging for shipping operators to make crew changes, leading many seafarers to be stranded at sea, away from their families for long periods.

No less terrible. Definitely still the wrong move, but I can understand it a lot better than the original headline, which sounds truly shocking on its own.

> if you look at the payout to the party that is blocking it is higher than blowing up the island

Ah, yes, you're right. I was only looking at the payoff for the other party. You're correct that for the party that is making the threat, they're much better off after blowing up the bridge or building a wall than they are after blowing up their own island, so the former is a much more credible threat. I think the "modal logic" thing confused me because I don't really see how modal logic in particular is involved here; but game theory certainly is, yes.
Stripe will cut pay, offer bonuses to employees who relocate
That's interesting. In the US, it's called a "pre-payment penalty," where you have to pay a fee if you want to pay off a loan early. It's not imposed by regulation, but is up to each lender, so you can choose a loan that does not have such a penalty.

Often consumers with weak credit or low incomes end up with loans that have worse terms, such as these penalties.

My family refinanced our home loan, and it was just a matter of going to the bank and signing the paperwork that they filled out for us. It took less than an hour, and the ROI was not hard to compute.

That's very academic. The GPS is available under GPL (see https://github.com/AdaCore/gps). As long as you don't deploy GPS or link your app with it you can use it for closed-source apps as you like; it's definitely no GPL violation.

Not sure why you compare it to Smalltalk; but for the latter you can use Squeak for free (under MIT or Apache license) since the nineties and today even a couple of other powerful Smalltalk implementations such as Pharo.
> Why did the driver look at her phone?

Because she chose to watch a TV show instead of performing her job.

Yes, I'm absolutely blaming the operator on this one.

I don't see how making that conscious choice, of your own free will, when your entire job is safety supervision, is anything but criminal negligence.
Very easy to setup. Nice interface.
Great idea to combine uptime and security checks in one app.

Congrats guys!
As already being mentioned by someone else, the live link breaking down (coincidental or not) or being intentionally muted by the court (for whatever reason), could seriously obstruct the assessment of a fair trial. Spoiler alert: it already isn't, even if only for the judge's bias, so one might even argue that AI doesn't need to be there to re-establish an already given.

However, more crucial here is that AI does not have any official monitoring status. Sure, they have good reputation, but ultimately are "just" an NGO. It might have been a different story if this was an official (UN) body safeguarding fair trials. But I'm not even sure if those exist, given that courts are often considered an "internal affair" of a country. If there's something wrong with them, the official way is usually to proceed to an international court, after having exhausted your options in a national court.

Also, AI itself is not without controversy. It certainly does a lot of good work, with most people involved having nothing but good intentions. That said, I have personally witnessed how the organization (at least once) made some seriously politically damaging statements for a ruling government, but as it later turned out based on false information. That itself can happen. But when AI was privately informed (with evidence countering their statements), about how they were used for a political agenda, they still held on to their initial stance. That was rather surprising and even shocking to me, for an organization like AI. Only years later, did I finally hear about questionable personal relationships between the local political opposition and AI staff. From what I've heard since, that was neither the first time that AI wasn't as politically (or nationally) neutral as often thought/claimed.

I doubt that the above has much relevance in this particular case though. Still, apparently AI isn't always above using information "tactically" for their own and/or political means/ends.
5 nm node products are being released to consumers this year so we're still on track. I think at this point the next node is always questionable because it takes a pretty big breakthrough in manufacturing techniques, resist chemistry, and node design to shave off another nanometer.
They do have exclusive access and control over the source of data that bring you that effectiveness though. I'm not saying anyone else should have access to Google data, but the fact that this is what make it effective and that essentially no one else can reproduce it, that kind of make it a monopoly.

At a point when the cost of entry is too high and it's not humanly possible to beat it, isn't it essentially impossible to compete, thus make it a monopoly?
I mean.....at least here in UK, your parents would just simply.....remortgage? How are they "stuck" exactly? Even if there is a penalty to pay for remortgaging, surely it must be worth paying if you can bring down your mortgage from 10% interest to literally 1-2% like many available right now?

> Blaming the individual would not solve the problem.

Punishing the culpable lapse by the individual is necessary but not sufficient. It should have been monitored and supervises by the employer, and failing that is also a culpable lapse which should be punished.

Yes, well, mostly just for entertainment. My sftp server acts in a weird way like a tarpit. Instead of tarpitting or blocking the bots, I create accounts for them with null passwords. I was hoping they might upload something interesting, but no... they just try to get a shell or try to forward ports to other sites, which I do not allow. Some of them have been connecting several times an hour for the past several years.

So kind of like REBL but open source? I tried using REBL for a while but found it to be more of an annoyance in the long run.

For regular values pprinting to a buffer in Emacs is more than enough (and better since I can use all the same key bindings etc). And for the few cases that warrant special display it's just not worth the hassle.

I guess this has a little more potential since people might contribute more views/UIs easily which REBL was lacking. But still think it's very tough to get this right.
At my gym, nothing, but that’s probably not typical.
That’s why the operating agreement of the LLC should have a charging order protection. It discourages reverse piercing. A charging order protection will allow the LLC to stop distributions to a member who lost such a court case.

In case of an LLC taxed as a partnership the creditor will need to pay the taxes as stated on the K1 but doesn’t receive actual money. Obviously this will make it very unattractive to the creditor to go for a charging order on your membership in the first place.
To be clear, the GP wasn’t making a claim about Microsoft’s strategy; what they’re claiming is that Linux is robust against such threats. Linux is constantly “Embraced” and “Extended” by all sorts of people, but it’s far too large a tent at this point for any entity, no matter how large, to gain the control necessary to “Extinguish” it.

(In this specific case, it’s because Linux has many in-kernel hypervisor systems, not just Microsoft’s. And at no point would they get rid of any of them, even if Microsoft’s is “better” in some sense. That’s not how Linux works: those systems are there to allow various groups to scratch their own itches, not as some central ideologically-driven top-down design. Microsoft can certainly add to Linux—anyone can—but nobody can force Linux to take away alternatives until it becomes dependent in some way on their particular code.)

How does enabling software to run on Linux decrease Linux marketplace penetration? If anything it would have the opposite effect as anyone running Hyper-V could now choose to host on Linux.
Re: which CAD to use...

I work in a +1$B company in AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) and our designers and engineers use AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, 3DSMax, KeyShot, Unity, Solidworks, Rhino, SketchUp, plus the entire Adobe Suite. The Autodesk tools represent probably 75% of the install base.

I agree that learning the concepts is more important on where and what to click in any particular software set. But in AEC, Autodesk is king.
What do you mean by that exactly? Initially it's just an outgoing tunnel to one of their many exits, to reach any site which is reachable via v6. How you integrate that into your setup is up to you. Since they are (one of?) the pioneers you have many scripts available on many platforms which support that.

When you mean incoming tunnel, it's no different from the many dynamic DNS solutions, where it's again up to you to integrate that. But even for this they have something:

It's interesting. Microsoft agreed with this philosophy and fought tooth and nail against tabbing in browsers, opting instead that each browser tab be it's own window and accessible from the task bar. After all other browsers had switched, they were forced to introduce that in IE as well.

The worst offender here is OSX. I still haven't figured out a good way to switch between multiple open windows of the same application, not even the file explorer (Finder). It's a huge pain.
What has forced you to update? iOS has not changed how core APIs work in a decade.
