Yes, Gadfly does have a large compile time. Reducing the time to first plot (essentially compilation time) has been a major focus for the 1.5 release.

People often use Plots.jl or PyPlot which have significantly lesser compile times.

> Isn't there also a big conflict of interest between Google "the search engine of the world and indexer of all information" and Google "seller of ads"?

The biggest conflict, nobody seems interested in fixing: That Google has a strong disinterest in getting you to click on search results, when they could get you to click on ads.

It's why since Google's inception, ads have become less and less distinguishable from search results, to the point that ordinary users aren't able to tell the difference anymore.

I get multiple reports per week of malware and scams that can be traced directly back to "I hit search instead of typing the URL, and clicked the first link".

Google should be forbidden from inlining advertisements with search results, and required to make them vastly more distinct.

Ironically, two academics very concerned about this conflict of interest when they wrote a study about search engines were Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Amazing what billions of dollars will do to your ethical standards.
In practice though, there are control rods and MSRs have freeze plugs into drain tanks right?
Our politics has broken down. A minority rules, and the only avenue left to the majority is questionable tactics like this. More of these seemingly idiotic conflicts will arise until Congress functions again.

He already said/implied, an international committee or coalition, representative of the world, while possibly still headed by the US. Unless you're seriously arguing ISIS would be a potential alternative to US control of domain names, why even mention them?

Even within the US, authorities regularly and routinely confiscate the property of American citizens, without charging them with anything. So the idea that the US is the greatest protector of liberty for people outside the US is not credible.

> I don't know why the Justice Department is rushing a case on search dominance, and it definitely doesn't make sense to target Chrome.

Because Google has an abusive search monopoly that harms consumers by providing a shitty experience and there are very few alternatives. First they built their monopoly, through a combination of producing an exceptional product and then gradually building moats around it; then once it was entrenched they started squeezing out competitors in their results (eating the ecosystem) and providing an ever worsening service as they focused on maximizing revenue extraction at the cost of service quality.

Google is providing a mediocre service by their own early (and correct) definition. They're aggressively violating numerous things they spelled out as hallmarks of bad search engines in the beginning of the company. Their product sucks by their own words.

Google has a browser monopoly and it has been integral to providing a moat for their search monopoly (which is one of the reasons they did it; as with Android). It absolutely makes sense to target that gigantic moat protecting their search monopoly. The search monopoly requires the moats to survive long-term at this point, since their search service is getting worse by the year. Peel off the moats shielding it from competition and the search engine either has to improve considerably, or competition will start eating its market share.

IE, Edge, Firefox and Opera are all de facto dead. The only browsers remaining that have a user base of significant size are Chrome and Safari mobile. It's not enough competition to only have two companies (both trillion dollar companies at that) providing the browsers for nearly all Internet users globally.
They exist, and if you know where to look you will find many of them, almost always not legal. The storage requirements are vast and you will need some pretty specialized hardware to do playback. The biggest reason why stuff is downmixed and flattened is because of our historical distribution media: radio, tape, records, in theory you could distribute the masters but most people would have no use for them.
The fact that the sound will arrive much faster through the rail was not presented as having practical value in this scenario. The delay is merely an interesting fact of physics to observe, just like observing the delay from lightning to thunder can be interesting.

As for energies, I used a short example of 500 meters to make it more probable, but near ~150 meters you still have around half a second of difference, which is more than enough to notice.
Great, thanks for the clarification
Nice!

Didn't know this was a thing :D
I'm probably nitpicking where it doesn't belong, but certainly not the Google search one, which is trivial to intercept and redirect to something that returns whatever time you want, and wouldn't be at all detectable.

What I was being pedantic about on the other one I guess was that if we include some video editing in our definition of "easy", a newspaper which you can bend and wave and make slightly annoying to edit over seems slightly more believable than a fixed time and date which even if you walk around near should be a bit easier to edit over afterwards considering it's going to be some "regular" shapes.
The new tech allows to do the same on a massive scale. Yes Stalin had people working for him who would manually erase from photos the people he didn't like any more. It was possible. Photoshop's content-aware fill and various deep learning inpaining algorithms can do that at scale with a fraction of the effort.

The same way, yes it was possible to hire a lookalike, but a) the deepfake will look more similar to the target person than any lookalike can and b) you don't need to find a needle-in-a-haystack lookalike to generate a fake video of anyone you want.

Or, "the post has been carring messages to people for centuries, why is the Internet such a big deal?"
I was just thinking about this yesterday. During the week I do my 9-5 and my mind is mostly numb after that. Enough for some exploratory stuff, but hard to get a lot of 'real' grind work done.

Then it's Friday night and you think how great it is that the weekend is here to get stuff done. Saturday arrives and if you're a home owner like me it's full of house and yard work (which in itself is fine, just time consuming).

So what you have left is Sunday. Relax in the morning with a cup of coffee and watch a relaxing show with the wife. The rest of the day is ahead, and based on how relatable this article is you know where that goes. Welcome to Sunday night and the cycle continues.
I agree on the security side if you use that attribute. However:

> And the performance of your CDN is probably worse than the Google CDN

What means probably? Other CDNs (Akamai, CloudFront, Cloudflare, etc) are also fast.

And by pushing one piece of your website on a different CDN you force your users browser to create an additional HTTPS connection which takes additional round-trips, instead of being able to leverage one connection for all assets. This alone might as well outweigh the performance differences between CDNs.

Also the "shared cache" benefit might go away, if I read the other answers in this topic correctly.
That reminds me of the spookiest bug I've ever encountered: once, when resuming a Dell laptop from suspend at work, it showed a Windows desktop. Said laptop had been running Linux exclusively for several months (but it had previously been used with Windows). Interacting with the laptop made the expected xscreensaver unlock screen appear, and everything worked normally afterwards. The only explanation I could come up with was that, somehow, a snapshot of the Windows screen had survived intact in a corner of the framebuffer which the Linux driver didn't touch, even after months of power off/on and suspend/resume cycles, and a bizarre driver glitch made it visible in that particular resume cycle.
So somebody made a simple page about how they feel about Sunday without even putting in some effort to give solutions or details, and it should hit the HN front page? Seems like a simple Tell HN would suffice.
Speaking from experience, trying to deploy a production-grade OSM instance is an enormous amount of work. Several businesses have been built purely around that (Maptiler and Mapbox, to name two off the top of my head). I agree that, particularly outside the US, OSM may seem theoretically to be a better choice, but I'm more inclined to assume that DDG simply decided the development resources needed for OSM were too great to justify it, and went with the alternative that they think gives them the best shot at both improving user privacy and competing with google.
Funny story, I've actually been working on reducing our compile times lately. We had a conversation about this when I started the work, Brian just doesn't have a ton of sensitivity to this in general. I apparently have more :)

There are details that matter, but on the codebase I work on, the current worst case (before the work I've been doing) means a compile takes a couple of minutes; more like two than five. I'm not sure how other codebases at the company are with regards to this, but I don't think they're super long.

What I've been doing drops it to under thirty seconds in basically all cases.

So yeah, it hasn't been a super pain for us specifically. We'll see as time goes on :)

This doc absolutely deserves to win Best Picture this year. A doc nomination would be a first (and there's a best doc category), but there's no rule against it. It is an absolutely transcendent piece of narrative; so much more captivating than most fantastical things a great writer could conceive. It deftly trumps the best narrative-cum-reality of the type that Herzog regularly delivers.

That's because most people don't know they don't really own the stuff they "buy" these days.

This is not true at all. Most libraries do not reimplement csv parsing - I’m saying only a select few libraries do this because they have very different design goals. For example optimizing for maximum rows per second parsed is a totally different design goal from optimizing to read into Spark DataFrame types to connect to Spark. Prioritizing one of these might come at the cost of the other, which is totally fine and having more than one library to choose from is a good thing.

> “ switching from C to python and then back to C would ruin performance.”

This is explicitly wrong in regards to Python. Optimizing Python often involves writing an implementation directly in C (or better, Cython) and autogenerating bindings that marshal between CPython native C types and the types of your extension module. This is extremely fast - as fast as calling native C code, there is no performance penalty for this.
Well hang on, the nuclear reactor generates power while the storage only.. stores. You have to include the (lifetime!) cost of the storage plus the presumably renewable energy source you're feeding it with. (Of course you need storage with both systems to cope with demand-side fluctuations, but you'll need a lot more with wind/solar to deal with supply-side fluctuations.)

That's not denouncing. That's a neutral way of stating that he had nothing to do with those donations.

And stop pretending that this is just any ordinary coworker. This is the public face and leader of the company that publicly advertises a certain set of values. This is also a person who has been made rich by the success of the company, and then is using that money to donate to very morally questionable causes (either directly himself or via his wife).

The guy literally donated an "ordinary coworker's" years salary to an organization that explicitly discriminates against members of the LGBTQ+ community. Do tell me exactly why it is inappropriate for employees of the company to complain about such dubious donations of their CEO, who they helped make mind-numbingly rich?

I applied a few years ago when it became available in my country but I'm still waiting for them to contact me with the outcome. So they failed the trial I gave their service. Perhaps you have to post some money along with your application. It's a shame, there used to be support in mpd for Tidal but since they won't share their API documentation it's now "defunct". I don't understand the game these streaming companies are playing. Is it some kind of security through obscurity or have they crunched the numbers and the costs outweigh the gains. They've had years to take advantage of Spotify's mis-steps so I won't hold my breath.

There are some reverse engineered API packages out there for Tidal. They might work but that's not what I'm looking for as a paying customer.

You may imagine that you are helping the compiler avoid error, but the fact is that real compilers, when they encounter `#include` guards, translate therm implicitly to `#pragma once`, and move on. The compiler is better at it than you are.

Meanwhile, you are exposing yourself to subtle bugs resulting from multiple headers that define the same guard name, as noted nearby. So, your imagined virtue is folly.

Can't you combine this with a basic public-key crypto scheme if you're worried about fakes? You could extend the same scheme to multiple people if needed; obviously you can't prove a certain picture definitely wasn't faked, but in most cases a semantics like "X, Y, Z agree this is real" is sufficient.

It used to be six and a half. It became five because a bunch of people were smart enough to figure out their bosses weren't their friends, and fought for a shorter workweek (also reducing unemployment and increasing the value of each worker). We've gotten lazy, collectively speaking, and the bosses have crept it back up to five-plus-some-extras.

Five is still ridiculous, though. There's so much waste in the system these days; the world would run fine on a three-day week.

It's time for working people to get fighting again.
I created during the last ~10 years ~80 email aliases for stuff that I bought on ~80 different websites (usually in the form of <my1stname_remotecompanyname@mydomain>) and I never even once received a single spam email on those addresses/aliases.

On the other hand, I received tons of spam email on my single generic email address (sometimes I'm "weak" because I don't want to login into my email admin GUI etc.. and I just use that generic/main address).

I therefore guess that whoever sells addresses and/or whoever generates spam does care about the email not being traceable to a single source? (they therefore do filter the lists that they have/get?)

> So do you mean to say that bicycles do not collide with each other and therefore there is no need for them to have rules to share the road/bike lane or whatever?

Not to be rude, but is the worst example I've ever seen of arguing against the weakest possible reading of something the comment you are replying to didn't say.

I've raced bikes and been in bike-on-bike crashes at 70km/h, and I've been hit by a car when I was riding at about 20km/h. Give me the bike-on-bike crash any day.

I'm not a huge fan of bike lanes, but OTOH I have to admit I've basically stopped riding most roads after being hit and having constant near misses.

My two cents as a kernel developer, the driver is pretty abominable compared to the code quality of most of the rest of the kernel.

However, having a GPU driver not just be open source but in the upstream Linux kernel is a gigantic deal. Kernel development takes a long time, we have millions of lines in the amdgpu driver, and if every one of those dealt with the lengthy review process it would have never made it in the tree.

So it's a necessary evil. I do wish they would clean it up though, I sent a fix to amdgpu once that was the same thing for 3 different files that were largely duplicated. That kind of thing wouldn't fly anywhere else in the kernel
