I strongly agree on the statement, that the problem is undecidable. The axiom is that the machine that predicts the future exists, so then we can use that as a lever. Build another machine that predicts predictor (antipredictor). Then you can prove it by observing antipredictor. If antipredictor lights up, you dont press the button (because you want to fool predictor) but then the future in which you pressed predictor does not exists (because antipredictor lighting up automatically means you must have pressed it!). Essentially, creating new devices that predict the future might as well create different systems from which you wont be able to observe other systems. In fact the whole dispute is pointless, even if our lives are deterministic, you wont be able to see it. In our world we can only use heuristics to determine the future of systems, but complete simulation of the future is impossible, because we would need to account for everything (and use this everything to compute everything). You can only build such machines / deduct such observations when you are outside of the system.

We can deduct another experiment. Take 2D world in which 2D creatures live. For them 3D space is space-time. For us it's 4D. Then 4D creatures can deduct that our world is deterministic or not. But 4D creatures cannot determine if their space-time is deterministic. 5D creatures can say that. It goes to infinity, if at least one space-time is non-deterministic then whole system is non-deterministic. The fact that this experiment can go into the infinity makes subject undecidable.
For recent versions of git I'd suggest using "git switch" and "git restore" instead of git checkout.

It avoids much of the confusion from the checkout command, which does very different things depending on what flags you pass it. That said, this is only one git command. The rest still has plenty of room for confusion.

Strangely enough, scrolling has improved for me in many apps with my trackball on Big Sur. Scrolling in Messages used to be very difficult to do accurately; now, it works just like Safari.

Swing is mostly fine. Ideologically, it's cousins with Qt.

I don't think Swing's MVC strategy worked out. It was worth trying. But maybe 40%-50% of the framework could be safely removed.

Some kind of DSL would be nice. JavaFX ain't it. In my own noodling, Swing's UI component hierarchy needed to be refactored to be fully composable. By the time I created enough shims to make Swing truly composable, I wish I'd started from scratch. (I haven't done Swing work in ages, so maybe this happened.)

An event loop is the biggest thing missing from Swing and other UI toolkits of that era. Meaning all modifications are handled by the framework, no client code (or non event loop threads) can modify the UI. My bestie George Smith's Juipeter (?) took the Win32 API approach, preserving the Swing API and all dispatch was handled under the hood. This is kinda how a browser's event loop is implemented. I much prefer an exposed event loop and Command objects. (It's easier to stepwise debug. Every desktop app I've ever created also had Undo/Redo; so you're gonna do Command objects one way or another.) And then make the framework pretty with some kind of DSL over the top.

Sadly, though inspired, I think Swing's LookAndFeel plumbing proved unnecessary. Sun believed everyone who said it mattered. Maybe it did for a while. But the world moved on. I still have no firm opinions on how I'd make an app reskinnable. (I should probably look to see what Qt's doing these days.)

Edit: I didn't mention AWT/Swing layout managers. Just peeked at Google/JetBrains Compose. Meh. I like that it uses Kotlin; less syntactic vinegar than Java. Alas, Compose repeats the mistake of not separating out the layout code. After doing way too much layout code -- some Australians did a hysterical GridBagLayout rage meme video, back in the day -- The Correct Answer[tm] is custom layout managers. Still include some stock managers in the JDK. And make the layout hooks API easier to implement and debug.
I don't believe that's true, it is a valid point: a lot of us talk a good game about caring for the environment, but when push comes to shove we are unwilling to give up luxuries we've grown accustomed to.

I've been programming since long before GUIs existed, and Git baffles me. We use Subversion, it's a lot simpler and does the trick.

Subversion integrates beautifully with third-party apps: Windows File Explorer (Tortoise), Qt Creator, Visual Studio, macOS (Cornerstone), Help & Manual, etc.

A GUI interface makes one more productive. I can right-click on a file or directory in Windows, and display all the change history at a glance.

Yeah IIRC they can also resize the start menu manually if they don't want any tiles.
Hardcoding the IP certainly has limitations but that is only the easiest example of bypassing DNS-based content blocking. A slightly less trivial solution where you grab the IP out of a file over HTTP instead could be easily implemented by any junior developer.

> Also, if they use an IP address then they can't be using SNI to host it on the same IP address as several other domains

Sure they can, just hardcode the "Host" header value as well

They can access HTTP though, which is more than enough.

Totally true re: bastardization :)

I grew up in Houston and had "kolaches" everywhere. It wasn't until Tom and I started working on this business that I even learned the word klobasnek/klobasniky.

I feel we're fighting an uphill battle already with kolache vs kolace vs kolacky vs kolach, etc

Additionally the polish vs the czech versions are slightly different. Here in Chicago, the Polish kolaczki is often quite flaky with a drier dough and more like a dough square folded in over a fruit filling.

In Texas a true/traditional Czech kolache is often a soft, pillowy sweet ROUND pastry with the fruit filling.

However, despite all that, in Texas, especially in Houston, "kolache" is often just used as a catchall, even if not super accurate. But there are 50 "kolache" shops in Houston and no "klobasnek" shops.

We did debate it for a while, but we opted for just going with the grain rather than trying to be more correct.

Admittedly, there's a little bit of cowardice in that, but we decided there were enough challenges ahead, so we didn't want to add that extra journey.
I've been a PillPack customer for the past six months, since my local pharmacy closed (apparently for good) because of COVID19. It would be nice to be able to fine-grain adjust the monthly delivery date, and/or get more than a 30-day supply at a time, but I have no complaints.
But the important point is, retraining takes time, and kicks you down to the bottom of the career ladder.

Which means automating people away pushes some of these people into poverty, and the only hope they have is that their children will start a profitable career in a sector that doesn't get eaten by software in the next few decades.

That's not to say I'm against automation and improvement. Just that not much thought is being given to individuals who find themselves automated away. That there will likely be a job for them is not much of a consolation prize over no job at all; hell, in civilized countries with developed social security, a job may be a worse option than no job at all.
Just wondering why couldn’t Walgreens do this? During covid, Walgreens is still one store that you must visit physically to get your prescription. I always thought there was some crazy health care regularization that prevented medicine delivery.

The parts of it that involve Git are easy. By far the most difficult thing is resolving merge conflicts, but Git farms that out to third party software, and nobody here is talking about that.

The core idea of Git - a DAG of repo snapshots - can be explained in like 5 minutes. I could explain all of the other operations in 5 more minutes.

Maybe I should do a `Git in 10 minutes` video, but there are about a million of those already, and as I said, it wouldn't address the actual hard part of Git: the CLI.

The analogy with (La)TeX is strong. That's also very powerful, written by a luminary at the bottom level (Knuth as opposed to Torvalds), and with a command line user experience loathed by most. GitHub etc. are supposed to be like Overleaf. Why aren't they?
> The implication here is that the sex trafficking to people in power was being used by US intelligence to get compromising material and leverage of leaders

I hate to delve into conspiracy theories but this is hardly a new idea. I was reading some articles after the FBI docs on the "Finders" investigation were released last year. Which supposedly was an investigation into a cult like group suspected of child abuse was completely halted when the CIA came in an took over.

From what I understand most of the theories are unproven and ofc, all the important details in the doc have been redacted but it fits a similar theme.
I have a separate playbook called 'provision' that, among other things, creates an unprivileged user, gives it sudo permissions, disables root login and password authentication in sshd_config and then restarts ssh. It's the only playbook that uses root. All subsequent connections are made using the unprivileged user and the become directive for privilege escalation. It's a bit awkward, because the playbook can only be run once, but it works in practice.
I've been using daily deaths per capita and all the examples are correct by that metric.

Switzerland today:

- 4560 lab confirmed cases
- 19'495 tests
- 23,4% positivity rate
- 299 hospitalised
- 142 deaths

That's equivalent to 5400 deaths occurring today in the USA.

In recent days the USA had the following deaths: 740, 656, 1258, 1471, 1185.

So by this measure things are FOUR OR FIVE TIMES AS BAD in Switzerland as they are in the USA.

Show HN: Kullish – Bring your own links (BYOL) comment aggregation
Each commit consists of a structured collection of hash IDs for every file in the entire repo. The hash ID is generated by hashing the contents of the entire file. Not the diff.

The "diff" you're referring to is an implementation detail of the compression. It's not even always there; it depends on which commits are present in your clone. It's also not even the same "diff" you work with when you use git to generate or apply patches. Using the same word only leads to confusion.
I don't recall a single instance of corruption with the Indian railways at the consumer level in nearly 2 decades including an instance when I was fined for not purchasing a platform ticket which would've been an opportunity for the officer to ask for a bribe but he didn't.

I don't think I'd faking or bribery are big issues with ticketing any more. It is most likely equitable access between the "internet haves" and "the internet have nots".
Somewhere, very near to you, is a state park (if you live in the U.S, or some local equivalent if you don't) that you've never been to. Go check it out. Fake your enthusiasm, and go all in on researching it and finding out what plants, birds, etc. are found there, and look for them. Hiking or birdwatching or etc. may not be your normal thing, but fake it for a while and you may find it does actually become somewhat interesting, even if you will go back to long-distance travel as soon as you have the chance.
I expect that the pandemic will follow Bill Gates's prediction—the developed world will be back to "normal" sometime near the end of 2021. For at least a decade, I expect it to be socially acceptable to wear a mask. However, I think that we'll be comfortable going to concerts and grocery shopping with no social distancing or masks long before then.

I've read Godel, Escher, Bach, and I've read this. It's a very nice explanation.

But everywhere I see, Godel's theorem is touted as some kind of deep philosophical insight, whereas from what I understand, informally it could be rephrased as "if you have a usable language for mathematical proofs, some phrases in that language must be neither true nor false (i.e. nonsensical)".

Nonsensical phrases in our human languages in nothing new, so the conclusion becomes that much less exciting. Though I'm sure it's valuable for fundamental math theory.
lol ... but it has mindshare.
There's also very little in a graph of changes and revisions that could be considered a manifold, which makes looking for homeomorphic endofunctors pointless.

With Ansible Collections, it'll be easier because it's a proper packaging format. The tarball are uploaded to Galaxy, it's not just pointing to GitHub.

OTOH talking about Git: I usually recommend using subtrees in place of submodules as they allow you to actually merge-in the contents of other trees rather than holding pointers to them.
The thinking might be that if we are going to return to the moon, then the more we have in the way of useful projects to do there, the better.

It looks like chapters 8 and 16 (at least) obliquely refer to those ideas. Perhaps if there are specific topics you think would be useful, you could open an issue or a PR?

That being said, it looks to me like the main concern here is surfacing Rust specifics, rather than general performance concerns.

> Try hiring hotels or hostels for large gatherings: bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings, family vacations, etc. and I think it will be easier to see the difference. They compete more with vacation rentals, which seems old-fashioned since their online inventory always sucks.

I agree with you that AirBnb fits much better into that category. Having said that, I also frequently rent an entire chalet with friends for skiing and even then we use websites which cater specifically for those types of accommodation (especially in France there are so many good websites to book chalets) that the offerings on those websites exceed AirBnb again in every possible aspect.

Besides that, I don't think that investors have valued AirBnb at the current levels with the idea that AirBnb only caters to bachelorette parties and a few odd student gatherings. That market is not nearly as big as AirBnb is currently going for.

Not neccessarily. There has been a push in the past ten years for mail order handled by Pharmacy Benefit Managers. PBM's are entities that work directly with the drug manufacturer to purchase in bulk, then delivering straight to the consumer at a lower cost than the pharmacy. The retail pharmacy industry, both chain and independent, absolutely despise PBM's and fight vociferously against them because it gives consumers the option not to go to the pharmacy. I predict Amazon will face the same attacks.

Much to a larger issue, though, is the question: Do we really need pharmacists that much anymore? Vending systems would accomplish the same task, for less money. I contend most people don't even speak to a pharmacist anymore.
> The vast majority of people do not.

That's a very bold claim.

It's certainly been the expected workflow everywhere I've worked. You might consider it a waste of time but I'd wager the resulting mess of commits from not doing so wastes far more time in the long run.

I have also had that thought for a long time (nearly a decade), remember seeing this article and progressed beyond thought to start writing some code, but naturally have plenty of other things to work on, so it's been very slow going.

I am starting to gestate a line of thought that is pondering what people think open source is for?

E.g. from the article:

> Once the first version exists and is found usable, the next step is to make it production ready.

Why? Why does open source ever have to get to this stage at all? What are people's expectations? Is there a - potentially unconscious - expectation that all open source projects need to end up at the scale of linux or kubernetes or firefox or whatever?

Why can't open source just be some twiddly little bit of fun that captures your imagination for a week or two, ends up on github and is then abandoned?

This insight why git, like other tools, is stupidely designed.

The "wrong" defaults and UX is the DEFAULT, and each USER must learn it.

Meaning:

UX * N Users = Wasted time and money

If I present you a screenshoot of a (real!) business apps with mis-aligned buttons, some put in weird places that mean different things that them are supposing by their labels, that use non-standard interactions that mix different UI paradigms, with rare color combinations (aka: vomit palette) , all in a SINGLE window (!), you think the solution is resist a better interface? Why we mock "regular" users or their enterprise providers, but somehow can't with ourselves?

I don't know why so many developers live in constant Stockholm syndrome and like it, and resist any suggestion to improve.

When anyone ask me about the tools I use (specially asked when somebody look at me using the terminal), if I liked, i say "No, this is the bad and ancient way, but we are here, stuck on this.."
