> But for this to be the cause of collapse, you need to explain how cities can have high levels of crime, corruption, and decaying buildings and then recover back to lower levels of crime, corrupion, and decaying buildings.

This sounds like a perspective of someone who's lived their entire life in the US. Meanwhile, here in Poland, you can have relatively large metro areas (Warsaw + suburbs is probably over 2 million people at this point) with barely any discernible crime - certainly not enough that it's anyone's radar as a social problem. When I was younger I was always puzzled why the american comic books focus so much on fighting crime (Batman, Punisher etc.) - now I understand that it IS actually a real problem in the US.

I wonder why crime never took on in Poland, even though we have clearly way fewer economic opportunities and the state-provided social support is worse than in the US (with the exception of free health care). One argument that comes to my mind is the almost complete lack of drugs over here. In Poland, if someone is keen on destroying their life via a substance dependence, they always go for alcohol, which I guess is much cheaper than drugs, so it creates way less criminals. That can't be the whole explanation though.
Yep, in Europe inter-bank transfers are also instant and if the underlying reason for all these regulations, confusions and trading impact is that US institutions have just been too cheap to upgrade the legacy infrastructure running the biggest store and exchange of value in the world then frankly surprise and anger seems justified.
I too am Persian. But I don't think we can blame Facebook for making a consistent user experience, where people can get whatever information/memes they want, sorted algorithmically to the users' taste.
> Microsoft won't have GitHub compete with the Microsoft Store and its newer efforts like winget. It would unermine their unifying vision that has been in the works for years for no benefit.

There has never been any indication that Microsoft would unilaterally shut down Windows software. If fact they are uniquely open in terms of modern proprietary OS's.
>I was surprised because my first impression was that this clause does not legally do anything more, anything less than a license that does not explicitly grants the rights to use the related software patents anyway. But I can imagine that without an explicit mention, a judge could still decide that a user receiving a program could reasonably feel allowed to use the related patents from its authors.

Yes, many lawyers believe in implicit patent license: http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Implicit_patent_licence
Color me shocked. Why do we need app stores again?
I agree with you! With everything that you wrote!

I don't know any distro that doesn't update browser packages in stable releases. Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch (ok, Arch is rolling release but still) and NixOS at least offer the lastest versions of Firefox and Chromium on its repository. Debian too, but I think they package Firefox ESR instead of Firefox release.
It depends on SO's terms of use. Without any terms to the contrary, which I am confident exist, you would be violating copyright by copying that example, regardless of attribution.

Assuming the example is the original work of the author of the post (and again, assuming no other terms), then that post author would hold copyright to the work. You would have no license to copy or distribute it.

I have great confidence that SO's terms include a section wherein contributors grant license or grant copyright to SO. At that point (again, assuming no other terms), you would still have no right or license to copy or distribute the work.

Assuming SO has a very permissive license to the work, including the ability to re-license it, they can grant you a license to copy or distribute the work. At that point you are bound by the terms of the license SO grants you.

Read the terms to get specifics.
> The plantations — sealed off with bee boxes on metal stands dotting its boundaries — have also reportedly improved crop yield by 30 per cent through increased bee pollination while beekeeping is helping farmers supplement their income with the sale of ‘organic’ honey and beeswax.

> “At first we installed Apis Mellifera or the European honey bees because they’re large and therefore create a bigger buzz and yield 50kgs of honey in a year. Unfortunately, those bees don’t survive in Maharashtra because they’re easy prey for bee-eater birds. So, we replaced them with Apis Cerana Indica, a smaller subspecies of the Indian honey bee which has lower yield of honey but better for pollination,” says Kaginkar who is also developing the technology to track and interpret elephant movements, and looking at better “land-use management” to reduce human-elephant conflicts while allowing the animal’s continued access to their forest range in the Tillari jungle.

What an innovative idea and interesting research!

Interesting comment.

Would you explain a little more about what you mean by “diversified parts of it” in “you naturally orient to getting exposure to opportunity for diversified parts of it, but when you have a scarcity view, your decisions are necessarily all/nothing”?
There are things called Income Sharing Agreements that in theory better align the incentives of lenders and students.
Samsung isn't much better than Google on the privacy side. They're just replacing all the standard apps to make them more in line with OneUI in terms of UX.

But things like Samsung health send data home too unfortunately.

They are stepping back from cloud services a bit now and letting Microsoft step in, also not privacy driven but more financial I think.
Slightly tangential, might be common knowledge by now but just wanted to throw out there in case anyone doesn't know - if you want the discounts but not the tracking, enter in your area code plus Jenny's number from the famous song (867-5309). This should work at most chains in the US.
Recoding stream is a good idea!

What I meant is - GitHub could create a Google Play store. The supply side (Devs) are on GitHub in abundance, so they could have a big catalog.

If GitHub could somehow solve the demand side (Phone users) they'd be sorted.
The blog post I guess was referring to android ecosystem...
The MIT license was written in the late 1980s.

It was typical for software to be distributed in physical media (floppy disks, and, later, CD-ROMs) through brick-and-mortar retail stores. It was not uncommon for someone to sell physical media with otherwise-free software, and so it was desirable to make end-users aware that the software was available for free. The GPL's "accompany it with a written offer... of the corresponding source code" is also an interesting holdover from this era (nowadays everyone just distributes source over the Internet, instead of sending checks and CDs through the mail).

Copyright notices were also typically visible when you first started a program in the 80s and 90s. These were relegated to "about" menus when it became the norm to "design a launch screen that’s nearly identical to the first screen of your app" to make apps feel faster.
Ask HN: Am I experiencing burn-out or just getting too old
I am currently at a place where thinking about doing anything on the computer is making me anxious. Over the last two months I’ve worked for maybe 5 days in total (recovering from Covid, taking vacation days). I am at a senior dev position with the highest salary amongst devs, yet lately I do not contribute and it is very noticeable. I have zero will or passion to work. Am I getting too old (44)? Am I experiencing burn out? What is the way out?
What about Matrix over I2P? Seems like an ideal pairing, especially since Matrix' robust history syncing may combine nicely with i2p delayed forwarding and other advanced traffic mixing strategies.
Julia is not just a datascience and ML language. It's a very nice general purpose programming language.
This is pedantry. Clearly you acknowledge these frameworks aren't write-once-run-anywhere in the same spirit as the conversation we're having. This same trick can be performed on a number of languages that don't claim to be WORA.
Ya the method I want to try is transpiling Lisp to C and then running that on GPU (so no segfaults). As far as I can tell, the problem is that I can only run 10,000 copies of the same shader, not 10,000 different shaders at once on the same data.

This is the closest I can come to a "proof" that today's hardware is on the wrong branch of the search space of possible hardwares.

I'm hoping to be proven wrong though, and that someone knows a way to run say 16 or more different shaders simultaneously on a GPU. Maybe there is a way to encode the variations in sub-shaders and run those at the same time or something?

Edit: a few more links about running concurrent GPU kernels:

http://ecosimulation.com/chrisgregg/Publications/Fine-Graine...

http://docs.potionmagic.eu/per.pdf

Unfortunately, concurrent kernels execution is only possible with CUDA on NVIDIA graphics cards. For other cards, OpenCL does not offer this functionality.

Looks like it may only be possible on NVIDIA, according to the last link. Since this was the first thing I wanted to do with OpenCL, it doesn't bode well for the standard or AMD. As a software developer, I see this issue a lot. What happened is, their public interface is too thick so doesn't reflect the actual capabilities of the hardware. I hit this with OpenGL too way back before ES2 and shaders were mainstream. I just wanted direct access to some of the matrix hardware math but couldn't get to it.

I'd vote to scrap current GPU implementations and move to a pure 2D or 3D grid of compute units (a bit like AWS EC2) running something like Docker. Then write OpenGL, OpenCL, Vulkan, Metal and the rest as niche libraries implementing use cases above the runtime. That would give us bare metal access to get real work done with languages like C, Rust, MATLAB, Julia, Erlang, Go, etc and finally drop the distinction between CPU and GPU.
I am sure everyone who saw that picture immediately thought of natural selection.
Your argument relies on the assumption that hedge funds haven’t been margin called, and that they haven’t closed their early short positions. Many funds have claimed they closed early shorts.

The piece people seem to misunderstand the most is that total short interest won’t tell us if specific shorts were closed out. New shorts can replace old shorts at the higher price.

It’s like arguing that nobody could have lost their job or got a new job because the national unemployment rate was unchanged. Aggregate numbers don’t tell us about specific shorts.

Is it really so hard to believe that people would want to short the downside of an obvious short-term market bubble?
I tried that, now my system's totally messed up. The spouse package was fine, but the child one was only available in 32-bits so suddenly my system was full of 32 bit libraries, my x64 libraries were all autoremoved, I lost half the apps on my system.

Now i'm just stuck here with this spouse and child on my computer, can't do anything fun any more. Lost all my games and it turns out the child is a daemon that runs in the background that sleeps and wakes at the most inconvenient times and now every time I try to run

spouse -s

It just prints

I agree with your point but i would also want to point out this has been a problem since the dawn of man. Governments and organizations have been plagued by unending bureucracy and corruption that grows worse the longer it has been in existence. Humans have a tendency to protect their belongings or ego more than altruistically help others so it makes sense.

Democracy has, as a general idea, been a way to solve this problem by creating a counterbalance that should prevent important decisionmakers from being overly selfish and at least show they are being effective and altruistic. But that system isnt really applicable for smale scale power dynamics. Unless efficiency, or in some cases having just common sense, is not monitored by anyone aka. there are no consequences for making poor decisions sooner or later no one will pay attention and they will be doing whatever they _think_ is best (or easiest) but without reality checks.

But how to evaluate performance when dealing with abstract things? At least in the case of GoT the ratings did deteriorate so one could point out a problem in the system (albeit way too late, IMO s6 was when it should have been fixed). In other cases no one can see the damage they are doing (especially if they have never been really doing anything) so how to even tell it needs to be fixed? I think best cure to this problem is a great culture where being efficient is praised and rewarded. But changing already terrible culture, well, that's tough...

Hey Alok,

RUN BACKGROUND basically does "./thecommand&" so it will stop after a restart, the onboarding example is ephemeral for simplicity.

If you want things to persist across restarts you'd have to add a systemd script or docker container the same way you'd run it in production.

It's not my job to teach everyone about trading operations. I am alarmed at the prevalence of anger founded on willful ignorance, on this site. I don't have an obligation to refute every dumb angry post tit for tat. I am not even trying to be "right" I rather want to encourage people not to fall prey to the temptation of thinking that you can simply scrunch up your face and decide to "not buy" a narrative simply because you cannot be bothered to be well informed.

IME:

Organizations just standardize on one thing. CentOS (but not anymore I guess v.v) or RHEL or Ubuntu or Debian etc. Pick an LTS and then install it on all the work-provided hardware and just make sure everything works for your org.

For individuals, (and by that I mean me and like a few of my friends who run GNU+Linux) it's something like:

1. Docker
2. Use Arch Linux

Personally, my setup is:

Machine I use as a PC run Arch so everything is just latest vanilla upstream.

My homelab is ostensibly Ubuntu LTS, but I run docker on almost every host, and have a Proxmox host too, so the Ubuntu layer directly on the machine only really gets used for running ping, dig and nmap (and docker of course).
X's most time depend on environment as well meaning computer has to be fast with resource available to support.

X1. Resource constraints : office and home all windows and most times chrome kills.

X2. Analysis killer : To analyse either run a query or batch job. It takes ridiculous amount of time

X3. Sequencing mess up : Due to priority order of planned events in workday change which leads to frustration

X4. Meetings you attend inplace of others.

X5. Adhoc request or query you need to attend now.

Most the time be prepared to be 10x and one day when you get a chance and everything aligns. Go play...
Both general relativity and quantum field theories make predictions that match experiments to around 12 digits of accuracy.

I doubt anything in software performance comes within many orders of magnitude of that.

I believe the ENCODE project has shown the junk dna hypothesis is not clearly true. A large portion of the genome codes for something, somewhere above 70 percent, even if most of it doesn't create proteins directly.

As an analogy, a piece of well written code often has a lot of extra info not directly tied to its core function, such as logging, error handling, etc. Much could be removed without impacting the core function, but that doesn't mean it is junk code.
Also trying to understand this. According to S3[0] many short positions are still open, but it is unclear if these are the original shorts, or new if new shorts were opened at the higher price point. In other news, Melvin Capital is down 53%[1]

My grandma does not use any kind of phone, so it is going to be hard to get her to Element or Signal or anything.

However, my mother does use Element to talk with me and it wasn't that hard to help her download an app, tell her where to put the username and what is the name of the matrix server and quickly she was on her way to start a call and setup a room with the rest of the family where I share the pictures of her grandkids.

One of the origin story of the term links to a once-popular Hong Kong actress Amy Yip[1], who was known for her cup size and sexy appearances in movies. The "nickname" 波霸, roughly translated to "Boobs overlord" in English, or transliterated to "Boba" (sounds similar in both Cantonese and Mandarin), was given to her by the media.

It was said that one bubble tea maker in Taiwan made large tapioca bubbles to put in milk tea, when tiny bubbles were used in milk tea at the time, and he named it "Boba tea", associating the relatively huge size of his bubbles with the actress well-known body feature.

Oems for android apps often have their own contacts, dialer, calendar, and home apps. Usually this is to provide a differentiated experience, not to surveil you. Some are very good... Even better than the stock android experience. Others are terrible. Privacy is all over the board (except that most are using your Google account for storage so Google is almost always there). The vendor app stores often have device optimized apps and sometimes have better pricing. An example would be adding support for the curved edge on many Samsung devices...
