Interestingly, you'll fail your UK motorcycle test if you don't largely treat the speed limit as a target.

If you stick at 40mph or thereabouts going into a 50mph zone, the examiner may think you haven't seen the speed limit change. More importantly, if you don't keep up a good pace on a clear country road with good visibility where the speed limit is 60mph, they won't have confidence in your riding at higher speeds, and they know - as all bikers know - that you will almost certainly spend a good chunk of your riding career at higher speeds on country roads.
The downside of that is that searching for something would mean I'd first get the examples, and then the reference.
Interestingly a lot of the EV's coming onto the market have strong acceleration but a quite low top speed.
Your git example is very similar to what can be done in my terminal, [Extraterm](https://extraterm.org/). See demo here: https://extraterm.org/features.html#reusing-command-output

Thanks for the tip about Acme. I'm always looking for ideas about how to improve integration between the terminal based work flows and other applications, command line, GUI, or others.
If anything, I’d have thought AI would lead to people being lazier about marking up semantic data, because if the machine learning is good enough there’s simply no call for it. So yeah, people may consume the semantic data, but the actual markup for such semantic data could become even less important than it is now.

> schema.org is a godsend, because it's finally a serious attempt at standardizing semantics

schema.org is nothing new. It’s been around since 2011 (and was a direct follow-up to earlier efforts like microformats from 2005–2010), and has been valuable to search engine listings and thus widely used ever since.
I would have to respectfully disagree. I think this can come across as stereotypical, and it may play well to an audience of engineers, scientists and programmers.

Individuals themselves possess brilliance, there are good MBAs as much as there are bad MBAs and the same for STEM professionals.

Rather we should say Hewlett had exceptional insight at the time, vs. attributing it to his upbringing and then making a sweeping statement on MBAs coming through a finance department.
Their calculators was awesome and later bought only HP computers and printers but then things changed not for the better sadly.
One of my friends who was a huge scanner fan (did you know they had their own magazine?) worked in a boring mundane part of his family's business. Most of his day was spent waiting around for two or three loads of paperwork to come in to be filed. It was a make-work type of job to keep him employed and out of trouble. What he did most of his day was listen to the scanner. Mostly police and fire calls but he did modify the scanner to pick up cell calls. Most were short but there was a two hour long call that the radio tuned to one day I was visiting. Given the price of cell calls in the mid 90s, especially during daytime, this was highly unusual.

The call was a professor at the local state university talking to a woman whose identity I was not able to determine. Almost the entire conversation was about how much he hated Palestinians. That they were subhuman and should be wiped out. I grew up in the South and had heard hateful things before but this was the first time I heard someone advocate for genocide so openly. That conversation has stuck with me ever since, making me wonder what's going on in people's minds that they keep hidden from the public.

At one point in the conversation the woman asked if he was on a cell phone and if anyone could overhear them. Despite there being no way of them knowing we were listening, it still caused my hair to stand on end. He said it was unlikely. The quality of the signal didn't waver during the call and was strong the entire time was he probably was stationary nearby. So very odd that he didn't call using a landline given the cost of such a cell call.
Well that would be great if the story had anything profound for me to ponder. I don't think it earnt it (speaking of my personal experience of the story). "Murderous jealousy exists" is hardly that earth shaking.

I think partly with this story it was because it was on the front page of HN, so I had very high expectations. The story is clearly building to something, to me in 2020 it seemed disappointing. I'm interested to hear how it was received in 1882 though.
Maybe they found other bugs that were worse, or of the same value, and you should have just given them another day.

The "when you do $x, you drain society's emergency resources" is, IMO, an absurd argument.

If this is true, then you need to point the finger at so many things. Rock-climbing. Mountain biking. And it progresses, to "anything even remotely risky", where "risky is now the absolute lowest common denominator".

And of course, so many sports? Banned.

This sort of "walking on eggshells" view of life is quite disturbing to me.
The problem with basic Vim is that it does not support out-of-the-box tools that can run longer than an invocation of a single command, like language servers, project indexers, tree synchronizers etc. ctags etc. just does not scale. And on Windows and to lesser extent on Mac one needs that even for medium-sized projects.

Wow, all of them, you must watch a ton of movies too. So you know my difficulty in finding new ones, maybe! Ides of March I haven't seen, that looks great! And I actually agree with your ranking perfectly. I only feel bad that nightcrawler and prisoners are side by side, when there's a pretty wide gulf between them in terms of how memorable they are.

I assume you've seen Place Beyond the Pines since it has Ryan Gosling, and Requiem for a Dream I think everyone's seen, and idk if you'd like Irréversible; I didn't because its story doesn't quite keep up with its violence, but it is quite a jarring film.

Frankly, excluding movies that are only exhibitions of violence and don't have a story to match, there are precious few movies in this vein! Precious few films have the power to truly shock the audience, at least in this way. OH! Cloverfield Lane is pretty solid. Very tense.

Note that I'm only mentioning movies that are striking for their tension or sudden spikes of violence, since that was the original topic. Just remembered Fatal Attraction, too!

Ooh, and Ex Machina in its own way.

They are also set for other reasons, like "Bob complained a lot, because of the noise of cars", and the limit gets reduced.

Or "this road was quiet 20+ years ago", but the city has grown, and now it is a major throughfare, so "Local residents campaigned to get a low speed limit", so that alternate routes are preferable.

Both of the above have happened in my locale.
German here. Indeed only the driver of a car is punished for speeding. The burdon is on the officials to determine the driver. But they will send an official inquiry to the car owner to name the driver of the car, if the identification is not obvious by a photo. There are cases where no one gets the ticket, because the driver is not named by the car owner, sometimes for very valid reason. With a larger group of people having access to that car, this can be true. As a consequence, sometimes people get off their ticket.

There is a catch however: while you might get out of a ticket once or twice, the authorities can order you to keep a drivers log in the car. That means, a written log of every single drive has to be kept. So that there is never any ambiguity of naming drivers going forward. And having to keep logs of all your drives going forward is something you really want to avoid.

This is true. I'm the maintainer of pg8000, a Python driver for PostgreSQL. Here are the docs for how you'd do this using pg8000:

https://github.com/tlocke/pg8000#copy-from-and-to-a-file

The standard API for database access in Python is DB-API 2 and it doesn't include support for COPY , so each driver may implement it differently.

There's another aspect to this, and that's the format of the file to be ingested as it can be 'text', 'CSV' or 'binary'. If you're generating the file yourself then you have a choice, but whether 'binary' is faster than 'CSV' I just don't know.

Sorry I don't feel like arguing or this topic anymore, excessive speed and safety.
This is funny, but in repeated cases the authorities would require the car owner to keep a driving log for that car. So this wouldn't work for very long.
Did anybody in this group go to Stevens? Because holy shit, were there ever a lot of Hackers-type characters at Stevens in the latter half of the 90s. Some of them were into MOD music and demoscene stuff, warez, and even darker things.

I thought the way you wrote it was clear but these comments got me curious what the various conventions might be so I took a quick look at :help in Vim (since it lists an awful lot of key bindings). I'm now officially confused and don't think you can go too far wrong.

In some contexts :help notates things as characters (ex zh, zH, and z<CR>). In other cases I'm seeing things written as <S-F11> and <C-G>. There's also CTRL-H (instead of <C-H>) but I'm not seeing shift written out like that for whatever reason. Sometimes they get mixed (I'm not sure what the rules are) such as for hh<Space> and hh<C-]>. Amusingly enough, :help appears to treat Meta-{char} as case sensitive but CTRL-{char} as case insensitive (I assume there's a reason). I also spotted a <kPlus> (for the keypad).

What an amusingly pointless distraction!
I'm sorry, but would you care to explain the inside baseball to the uninitiated? Who is Zach Tellman, what's a Renaissance man and how does it relate to a paragraph that doesn't mention time periods, how is this calling out Zach Tellman specifically or rather, what's the backstory there, and what does any or all of that have to do with previous criticism of Paul Graham? I'm completely lost here.
Disappointed to see that you spent 25% of article space to describe in detail all the ways in which computer hardware got faster, then you promised to show how your project is taking advantage of this, but you are not showing any performance measurements at all. Just a very fancy architecture.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only number that I can find is a guarantee that you do not exceed 500 us of latency when handling a request. And it’s not clear if this is a guarantee at all, since you say just that the system will throw a traceback in case of latency spikes.

I would have liked to see the how latency varies under load, how much throughput you can achieve, how the latency long tail looks like on a long-running production load, and comparisons with off-the-shelf systems tuned reasonably.
Yeah of course. But I'm not sure what else one would expect, given our societal structure.
Note that the rules require GPS receivers not to work when above 60,000ft AND at a speed higher than 1000kt. Some manufacturers made that an OR, but that's not required.

You're very very unlikely to ever make it above 60,000ft at a speed faster than 1000kt unless you own a fighter jet.
Don't worry - in Brexit Britain the tailbacks will be so long you'll struggle to find a road you can break the speed limit on. And those you can all have bends on them.
> Rust is tiny compared to C and C++.

It's definitely smaller than C++. C? Doubtful. And in no way is it "tiny" compared to anything. C++ might feel enormously bigger but that's because everything is actually specified.

Imagine how big the borrow checker specification would be if it existed! Or the specification for the requirements for writing safe `unsafe` code - last time I checked nobody was really sure what the precise answer to that even is.
Fair point, but neither is nor was XML necessary for new vocabularies or vocabulary evolution (since SGML facilitates that already), nor has RDF/sparql anything to do with it. I'd argue that the organizational lock-up W3C has created with the long XML/XHTML meta-syntax detour and unrealistic XHTML extensions such as XForms resulted in HTML not being extended at all, while everything around it (CSS, JS) was made too powerful to cater for HTML's stagnation during that period.

It's not about people marking up HTML to add semantic data; that's never going to happen (and never should). HTML is a presentation layer designed for comsumption by humans, and human presentation data is no place for semantic content because it's a view of the data meant for HUMANS, who will already understand the semantic meaning.

"Semantic content" is about machines using common semantic identifiers in their public APIs so that their data sets can interoperate and be used as components for something bigger.

I think if the guy that came to the internal google documents a few years back, would offer the content on the donation based web site and prove they are genuine, it might get more out of donations from various privacy groups / people than he got from google for the vulnerability.

Same goes here.

It is not about the vulnerability, it is about the content.
If they were truly right, you could weigh the evidence they present and you would be convinced it is correct because they are so smart and compelling. Then you would make the decision that their evidence suggests. There would be no need to cede any authority to them, they should be able to convince you on the merits of their arguments.

"Would you then cede your decision making to them if it were demonstrably better?"

I would definitely consult them.

Who would be responsible for the consequences of a decision of theirs were it to turn out worse than if I had decided? For instance, what if they decided to purchase for me, using the money that I ceded to them, a house that unbeknownst to them turned out to have unhealthy air - whether mold or radon or asbestos - and it had a deleterious effect on my health? Would they be financially responsible for - correct that, invested - in my rehabilitation? Would they sit late at night by my bedside in the hospital, agonizing over my fate along with my family?

I think resistance to the idea of ceding control comes from the recognition that we alone are all ultimately responsible for, and invested in, our own fates
In my case, some of the songs that I used to play in arcades in Asia use all 9 directions. The L-Tek pads only have center + 4 arrows, but none of their products has all 9 of them.

I tend to agree with the selected Cory Doctorow quote. “Put a tag on it” is the semantic web version of IoT’s “put a chip in it” - technically feasible, yes, but to what end all that time and expense? The author here is fuzzy on applications. Feels like a solution looking for a problem.

When it comes to augmenting digital assistants like Alexa or OK Google, standalone semantic knowledge bases like Wikidata [0] seem good enough. And as natural language understanding code gets better at interpreting user queries,
so too does it get better at ingesting unstructured knowledge, such as raw Wikipedia articles, without need to resort to structured meta-tags.

Hey HN,

I'm a software engineer and seem to spend more and more time writing pretty much the same system. Read message from x, call api, call api... respond etc etc. It's is integration work largely but it seems to be becoming the norm.

The news story seemed to close with a counter to the argument that the Biden family are Chinese assets i.e. https://mobile.twitter.com/HuXijin_GT/status/133621354154038...

So, her intentions were not to go against China. But then she should have been more thoughtful and opted for not reporting the story at all, like it's usually done. If only Fox news is reporting it, the news is easily ignored by liberals. If Bloomberg starts reporting it, even if ends up with a counter, it's still seen by a lot of liberals, some of whom may be able to spot what's going on.

From a Chinese court point of view, her intentions were pro-China (she's working for Bloomberg afterall) but still she could be charged for negligence. Hope it's just some jail time and not a death sentence.

GPS isn't good enough for that yet. I have received warnings from my GPS because it thought I was driving at 70 mph in a 20 mph limit. In fact, I was driving at 70 mph on a motorway flyover above a residential street that had a 20 mph limit.

If it had been able to cut the engine (or, worse, apply the brakes) then that could have produced a dangerous situation.

True. Why would China wait until 2024 and have to hope their interference tactics will work again with another virus?

McCarthur had it right that nukes were the only option to end the conflict in Korea once China began to attack us there, but that we were spread too thin to be able to hold her if we neutralized her that way (so instead we pacified her).

I’m afraid the only option with Taiwan now is to evacuate it as the new Administration will have no appetite for the kind of military action needed to save it. America has plenty of land for them, though not all of it is an island paradise. Start the evacuation with the 3-6nm fabrication plants please!

> My company has no incentive to pay me any more than they absolutely have to

It seems everyone is talking past my original point here. I'm not sure if it's in bad faith, or if it's just that they haven't followed the entire thread. So let me restate that I'm not talking about jobs in wealthy countries, for people who can leverage their skills for a better wage.

> It is difficult to argue that globalisation is hurting America and India simultaneously.

Not at all, you're missing the bigger picture. It's easier for me just say 'wait and see', because the back-steps on human rights around the world are an emerging pattern at the moment that I think most people in the western world are completely naive to.

If your country degrades its human rights in order to compete for un-automatable unskilled labor, or any labor at all, the ability to unionize evaporates, government policy favors corporate interests over its citizens, and we end up with countries like India, looking across at what China is doing, and copying it. They aren't looking at the West and going 'democracy is great!', let's give our citizens freedom, they're going 'Our friends in wealth and power have a bunch of striking workers, how do I help them keep their profits and increase government revenue'... and then look at the US and other western nations that are bending to China's will. (And it's only a matter of time before western nations start winding back human rights, or liveable wages to 'be globally competitive', just follow the anti-union behaviour of some of the large tech companies).

Crucially, if there's a place in the world where enabling slavery provides a competitive advantage, it will happen, until it's outlawed globally, and that can only happen through global will motivating the right political manoeuvres. And don't become complacent about the human rights that you enjoy today, because they are already being undermined.

> They pay me well and treat me very well, because the market says they have to.

Maybe you have a nice job and are treated well by your employer, but you weren't born to low status in India, you were born in a wealthy country, possibly had a good household and upbringing, and maybe have some rare talents that give you an edge over your fellow citizens. You won the lottery. Means nothing to the sweatshop worker making your underwear.

> But that has not so much to do with globalisation.

Absolutely it does. You only have to see how much of the domestic manufacturing capacity has been transferred to China, taking the jobs along with it. America has amassed a large trade deficit with China and other countries, and their GDP hasn't suffered a hit, because the people at the top are making plenty of money. The real people who are suffering are the one's who got Trump elected.
