I thought that's exactly the point of Scientific Reports: to publish "reports" (i.e., not proper "papers") without caring about their impact or importance, as long as the science (however little of it there is) is done properly. i.e., you literally send them stuff that isn't good enough to be published in a proper journal. It's meant to be a dreg journal with low reputation; it's a feature, not a bug. The idea is to allow people to publish their work (e.g. to finish their PhD), but everyone knows that further investigation is needed before stuff should be called a proper finding. I think of it as the "workshop" version of a journal.
Not to mention that different coordinate systems also use different orderings.

> Out of curiosity, as a Java enthusiast, I was wondering if you could give examples of what you feel is wrong?

I think there's a lot of criticism for Java's language design. It involves an awful lot of boiler plate, and is generally very verbose. It's also a language that forces you to use OO, and OO has received a lot of pushback over recent years - so that approach has become very unpopular.

Personally, I also think the use of so many design patterns is an attempt to compensate for what the language lacks, its reflection capabilities are flawed etc.

I don't hate on Java. For many years it was my main language. It has awesome tooling and the JVM is incredible. But I do agree with most of the criticism.

I've been learning Clojure recently and Rich Hickey's talks often begin with some motivation including criticism of Java and OO more generally, here's one such video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSdnJDO-xdg

Maybe someone with experience in the field and more up to date info will correct me, but
I did some research on the subject 10 years ago while entertaining the idea to launch a VOD service in France, and the right holders expected that such a service would:

- pay them a percentage of the price of the rental, which could not go below a certain amount,

- pay a yearly license (~3500€/year just for my country for a popular movie) per language audio track,

- handle on their own sending technicians to rip the masters to then host them on the platform.

I don’t exactly remember the minimum price per rental, but the economics didn’t make sense in terms of what we wanted to attempt, so we gave up. One would have to pay an enormous amount in upfront license costs without being able to generate a big volume of views by undercutting the competition in the case where technical excellence could allow us to cut prices.
When I say "intellectual property" in the post, what I mean is the system of laws and court systems built up around it to support it. Because ultimately, that's where my issue lies.

When it comes to DRM and the like, it falls into the category of things I'm personally against but don't think there should be laws prohibiting it. This falls out of my section on "laws codifying the four freedoms" I think.

Hardware transactional memory wouldn't accelerate Clojure. The actual transactional bit is very cheap, built around compare and swap.

You first grab the current value of two refs, build two new values out of them through some process.

Then on commit, you lock both refs and check they're unchanged since the start of the transaction. If they are, you swap the values, if they're not, you grab the new values and rerun the computation (on and on until timeout).

The overhead comes from the lack of granularity - if two transactions change different keys in a map they'll conflict even though in theory they could run simultaneously (and indeed can with a hash table and HTM like TSX).

And also because of the speed of persistent data structures. They're not exactly slow given the flexibility they give you, but each write involves allocation.
We're trying to bring the price down but with the cost of the test and the cost of bringing a specialist to the home it's a bit difficult at the moment.

That's a lovely reply! The problem with emacs is there is just too much, and the chaff obscures the wheat. It frustrates me too, as there's some really good stuff there that I don't know about.

Suggest grabbing the emacs book https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-gnu-emacs/0596... and/or the emacs manual from https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/ (free pdf) and go through them. They will repay the time!

But they can’t, because they know this is not a lie. It is actually quite possible that Russians have something to do with this — I say it as a Russian; they did nearly the same thing with DNC leaks in 2016. But the issue is not “who did it”, the question is whether the materials are authentic or not. DNC leaks were authentic, and that was enough for Americans to tip the election outcome in 2016. Hunter Biden materials look authentic, too.
As someone in computational physics, let me assure you it's the same there. The one thing is doing math right and having the correct idea about coordinates. The other is being able to tell the computer about these ideas! Many people cannot code, so are not aware of array or vector facilities of their programming language/ecosystem they use (or rather have to use, because it's always have been like that).

This Phd comic is pretty acurate about the situation: http://phdcomics.com/comics.php?f=1689

Now imagine being a newcomer with neither programming experience nor domain specific knowledge and asked to add some feature to such a legacy codebase. This is the standard case in science.
Don't vote for Apple with your money.

That's a good approach to showing a company you don't approve of what they're doing, but in the case of tech who should people use instead? Every tech company is involved with China on some level (if not directly then their suppliers are); they all do things that support the Chinese government.

I agree that Apple are wrong here, but I don't see how buying from another company that's also wrong solves anything.

> Packages are tend to be old. That's the downside of using nix over other package managers.

The stats from repology say otherwise. NixOS is the most up-to-date distro in existence.

> Some are of course up to date but for less popular ones, you would look elsewhere to install.

For less popular ones, it's more likely that the package won't even exist on other distros given the number of packages in nixpkgs.
He could but it'd require a backbone and willingness to defend and take a stand for the Constitution - and reminding people that Facebook is private property, and people are still free on the United States to say whatever the fuck they want on the internet - like in their own house, and how in your own house you decide what guests you want in or who you'd consider to be trespassing; I certainly wouldn't tolerate someone being racist in my house, especially not if there were younger, developing, easily influenced minds present as well.

If the title were "Apple refuses to engrave ‘liberate’ on a customer’s Apple Pencil, and this is why", I might be confused and would say it's misleading, or a clickbait.

However, coupled with the context of the HK protest, the point of the article is obvious. It's not misleading title IMO.
It would only create that much supply if you offered all of it up for sale immediately.
Uhm. The economy is no deity. Man made and man can change it. Growth (GDP) is not a measurement of human happiness or even living standards, just capitalism.
Slavoj Zizek makes a great point about this. He points out that starbucks donates some portion of the money you pay for coffee to alleviate poverty.

But you as a customer are buying expensive coffee as well freedom from guilt of buying expensive coffee while a large number of people in world are poor.

Some Apple users are so locked in into the Apple ecosystem that they completely ignore how excellent products exist outside of such ecosystem to the degree of justifying every shit the company makes because "there are no decent alternatives". It is by far the most successful lock-in strategy I have ever seen in tech. It goes beyond the technicalities: it has created a religion in itself.

(if you only knew how many corrections I had to make to these couple of sentences I have just written to correct the mistakes introduced by my "excellent" MacBook Pro keyboard)
While I agree with the first two paragraphs of your comment, it's rather naïve to think this:

> Go work to do real things, change real things.

There's little that people outside HK can do, and those HK citizens who can do something are already doing so by protesting, although it appears to (very unfortunately) be futile.
You can sell on a piece of art though.

Here are licensing the right to consume text without any ownership or ability to redistribute. It's more akin to Netflix.

And people are already complaining about having to pay too many aggregators, paying per TV episode is completely out of the question as the way forward.
This just confirms my point even further.
You said it. I've got no problems dropping 1200 on a phone when I know it doesn't have ads, yet that's slowly not the case with iPhones anymore. I've got a bunch of my own recordings on my laptop I want to listen to on my phone, yet the only solution Apple has is for me to subscribe to a paid service (Apple music/iTunes whatever) or use a USB cable and manually copy the music to my phone. Then when listening to said recordings on my phone, the music player tries to upsell me with Apple Music.

Or Apple TV+ - I've already got the subscription, yet half of the stuff it shows me on the front page is actually movies I still need to pay extra for, and you don't find out until you try to watch the movie in question.

On the opposite, and more irritating side, you have documentation like Ansible's where the core functionality is only explained by examples.

I would've loved to know the exact format of the inventory file specified on a single page, or the list of all supported Jinja methods with a quick description of each, but no, pages and pages of just conversational examples.

Which is great when starting out, and absolutely awful past that, so you is click through maybe relevant pages and Ctrl-F what you're looking for.

They do, but my colleagues tell me that the food they eat when they break their fast is often heavier than usual, and they might eat more as well. More than one is gaining weight during Ramadan :)
I guess this is a different thing, but...

When I was a kid I read a book that said if before you go to sleep you think "I will wake up at Xam" (whatever time you want) then you wake up at exactly that time. Which is pretty weird! We can't do that when we're awake. It actually works, and I've never needed an alarm clock. For a few ultra-important days I used one, like catching a plane, but I was always awake before it went off.

I have no idea how it works.

Acid reflux burns your throat and sometimes even the stomach lining. Imagine taking a lit candle. You can wave your finger through the flame without issue. But now if you burn that finger, any heat, no matter how small is going to burn and cause an upset. Eating bland foods allows the stomach an easier time digesting, preventing reflux into the throat and allowing the burns to heal so that in the future when you get the occasional bit of reflux like most people, it won’t burn and you’ll carry on your day like normal. If I get particularly stressed and eat badly for example and don’t notice I’m burning up inside, I need to take 3 months of just bland foods, boring diet, Gaviscon and Nizatidine and then I’m back to normal again. It’s a fun ride!
This is really bad advice. Its important to do actual science and not run on anecdotes.
> however, acting as if all forms of IP are "owning an idea" is a weird take.

Maybe you don't like my phrasing? But fundamentally, intellectual property is a form of property that includes intangible things. How can intangible things be owned? Intangible things aren't scarce.

> Software isn't an idea. It required real work of a scarce-ish resource (software dev time) to create that software. You could make the argument that software, unlike a physical good, can be copied at almost no cost after creation

It's not about the work required to create it or even the work required to copy it. The point is that it's not scarce. That is, I can use a copy of the software without inhibiting your simultaneous use of it. This is a fundamental difference from a physical good. My use of a physical good inherently inhibits your use. This creates conflict and property is a vehicle for resolving that conflict peacefully.

> I'd like to put forward the argument that software _patents_ are the IP that most closely resembles the IP the author seems to hate

I undoubtedly hate software patents. But I probably hate patents in the healthcare industry even more, because I perceive them as probably causing even more harm than software patents.

My article is just biased towards issues in software because that's what I have the most experience with.
Sure, that's a valid argument.

But I'm cynical, so I also think that terrorism is often just masqueraded greed, a money grab under the guise of doing something political.
Imo, it only makes sense for individuals/small teams when they have an established relationship with the company and are explicitly asked to take part.

Unsolicited is used mostly just to support their decision to go with the one they expected to go with in the first place and it would just be a waste of time.
Well it is not unlikely they will read it as they are active on this post.

And the other part is simply just ethos, who the author is does change what kind of credibility you will give an argument.
In a democracy public perception of reality directly correlates to your ability to perform as a politician.
The Bush administration used the full thrust of the office to knowingly foster false perception of reality in huge swaths of the population. Rendering objections moot.
The ultimate blame lays with the deceiver. Even though representatives of all parties votes for the invasion, they acted in a reality manufactured by lies and they represented the will of their supposed voters.
You may accuse them as spineless, but there's still magnitude difference between deceiving the public, and failing to convince the public it's all lies.
Losing this distinction just makes the crooks stronger.

Apple is doing well because a lot of users continue to buy their products. And if people themselves don't find their policies egregious then so be it. One can't blame Apple for choosing the path it did.

And this is not the first time Apple is kowtowing to Chinese government. See the Apple cloud deal in China which needs to store data in Tencent cloud or how Apple blocked an app in HK letting users know where the police is. Nothing has changed in now Apple is operating here.

I don't know whether it's the same topic (will watch later) but there was the economist's observation a few years ago that when you pay $0.10 extra for organic/free trade coffee in your cup, only less than $0.01 goes to the actual coffee farmer and even the related supply chain labor. (calculating what the coffee serving price difference should be from the market price of free trade beans per pound vs. normal)

The rest of the 9c is just price discrimination of the coffee chain being able to see that you value the idea of supporting organic coffee farming and are willing to pay that much more, even though it doesn't translate into anywhere close to that for the actual people.

Edit: you can check it yourself -- Fairtrade coffee reports to be sold at $1.80 per pound versus $1.40. A typical cup of coffee / shot espresso uses 15 grams. The cost difference is <$0.01.

(I don't know if this is still sold as an option, not a coffee drinker myself)

Would the same medicine be created (often costing large sums of money) if they didn't have the incentive of profit? What's the alternative that creates the same quality and quantity?

Software is the special case, I think. Plenty of open source software gets created because the developers themselves need a problem solved and then decide to share the result. If you applied that to Pharma, wouldn't that lead to the things being researched that researchers are affected by?
Is higher friction a bad thing though? This is web standards documentation, not Wikipedia; once a document is finished, it'll be a lot more static. I can imagine they've had edit wars (another commenter mentioned it), abuse, etc, whereas with a GH workflow there's a better review process involved.
Bravo! And because this is HN let me add: I love seeing light hearted responses like this that elicit a smile, on HN. Where the overall tone is normally very serious :)
Okay thanks! So what I don't get is, what's the point of bounding loops then? If it's already simulating the program up to 1M instructions and rejecting it if simulation doesn't prove termination (bounded model checking?), then can't it still do that when there's no loop bound?

Because I kind of expected the algorithm would say "hey this loop is bounded up to 4K, this nested one is up to 3K, therefore I can't prove the total is below 1M, therefore I reject", but from your description it sounds like it actually does some kind of bounded model checking up to 1M instructions instead of taking shortcuts like this? Or did you mean it actually does take shortcuts like this?
I'm unconvinced that libraries would be viable if the concept was developed now.
The big problem for me is he does not set the context for the allegations, that the US is about to go to a critical and fiercely-contested election, last time there were all kinds of manipulations, and the role he
s set on playing right in the last few days is analogous to that of Comey v2 and the laptop is "the emails".

Without the context, it's not being given to the reader to judge why this is a story, the real provonance of the maguffin-laptop, if it really has any impact in the Biden vs Trump question or is just noise...

- 16 Inch Screen
- 8 Core i9 (16 Threads)
- 4TB SSD Storage
- Screen resolution is 4096x2560 @ 60Hz

I write code that uses all 16 cores and is able to search data at 2.5 Gb /s reading from the SSD, which is as far as I can tell close to the hardware limits.

Who's got a laptop that has this much CPU, RAM and fast SSD Storage with the same or greater screen resolution? If it exists, I really wanna know.

I had a windows gaming laptop about a year ago which had close to this specs, but I used it for a month and it started slowing down because it was overheating, and then eventually it just started getting insanely hot and then powering off (Its was one of those "Predator" gaming laptops), it couldn't even handle 2 months of heavy coding abuse from me (and it was super heavy physically too), it was very disappointing.
