Thinking about it, I would expect some kidnap... immigration to the US of some personnel would probably happen.
I'm annoyed but not annoyed enough to learn proper Glib C for so I can fix it. I can probably make it work if I tried, but my attempts would never get accepted back into the code base because of the terrible mess I'd turn the code into.

This issue is one of the things that a normal, non-technical user would run into if they'd ever try Linux. If the file picker can't even get feature parity with Windows XP's, you're not attracting a lot of growth.

I'm fine with waiting for someone to eventually fix it in Gnome 8 or 9, but this is a real usability issue that indicates an entire area of the framework can use some work.
Plus crop problems in Brazil:

Arabica-coffee futures in New York have risen about 24% since the end of October following the damage to Brazilian groves.
OK you're right, I get it. I will amend my ways.
Update: I'm reading people with (more) negative experiences. I guess YMMV :) Still, I wouldn't draw absolute conclusions based on this.

I was a Mensa associate, and participated to evening meetings in two countries (evening meetings are only part of the activities).

You're assuming, with "people insecure enough to join an IQ-restricted club", that associates sit on a high horse due to their IQ. It was quite the opposite; the clubs are very friendly, and what I remember is actually, fun nights playing board and social games (it's amusing to think that a significant part of a "high IQ" club is games :)). Definitely, nobody would recognize it was a Mensa meeeting if they didn't know it already.

In my personal view, joining the club because of (relatively) high IQ was no different than joining, say, a chess club - meeting people who have something in common.

Needless to say, there were lots of programmers :)
But that could be fixed technically. Deepmind's goal was not to create an "unexploitable" agent but to prove that ML algorithms can cope with complex, dynamic environments such as StarCraft.

It seems to you weird but the same agent probably wins against GM's most of the time. humans have weaknesses too.

The AI simply leans on its strengths just like humans do.
This is a utility function I carry around between projects for the "logging within a pure expression" case:

function log(expr) {

onMount(() => log(listenForAuthChanges()))
When convictions and crimes are being investigated there's room to have doubt or not speak up, exigent circumstance, etc.

Still doubling down years later as an otherwise functional adult removes any ethical cover.
I'm not super familiar with this space and am a bit confused - why is this big on automakers and not other chip consumers? Also 300mm seems kind of big for chips? What am I missing?
Aptitude tests are IQ tests in a socially acceptable disguise.
So I succeeded in my purpose to mock everybody? But really, I think that we are not far from the "grand upvote disclosure" day where by some strange leak all upvotes in the internet will become public. Then people will start to be fired for having upvoted the wrong comment 20 years ago. This will be recursive, of course: if you ever upvoted a comment written by a wrong person, you become a wrong person as well. And so on. So, please be careful with the upvotes to controversial comments here.
If that were actually true, there wouldn't be a obesity epidemic.
Responding in a vacuum, but the other explanation could be that these tests fail to discriminate at the high-end. If everyone with a high score is squished together, raising the floor just amplifies relative noise
It's like Mark Zuckerberg personally (and invisibly) editing your facebook posts, for which you're legally culpable. I don't really get how people here just brush it off.
I ran a scan with Norton antivirus on the website artifacts downloaded on AWS the result is OK.

I also checked the website with Google safe browsing (https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?u...) and the result is also OK.
I also run the test with virus total website and no threats have been detected. (https://www.virustotal.com/en/#url).

I know of two Mensa members. They don't seem to be dissatisfied, but they don't seem to be active in it either. Maybe it depends on the expectations one has before joining.
You’re right, I misremembered. I’m not saying that the IRA weren’t bad, they killed more people than 9/11, but they learnt that killing random people was bad for PR and adapted thier tactics to economic targets in the 90’s. I’m from London and I lived through the IRA bombing campaign of the 90’s and the various ISIS attacks of the 2000’s. The IRA made me annoyed, angry maybe but not terrorised, they phoned in warnings and thier attacks were mostly inconvenient. The 7/7 suicide bombers were a completely different intent, they were out to kill as many random people as possible, the IRA weren’t by that stage.
> we just need one person who cares about this feature

Uh no. There have been at least 3 separate attempts at implementing this. One of them actually lives as a fork on github, and it works. None of them have been merged. The gtk devs don't care.
In this age of remakes, this calls for a movie about the dangerous overland trip taken to deliver coffee through the Darien Gap, in the style of Sorcerer (1977): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076740/ (which is already a third remake or so.)
I think the really low prices for food and rent have been offsetting my costs related to electronics by a long shot (Avoiding overpriced supermarkets goes a long way to that end), but that's definitely true otherwise. Bringing in stuff from cheaper places for that is highly recommended. And yeah the roads are nuts haha
That's interesting. Similar to how many people rely on university networks to segregate their dating pool roughly by IQ (although more informally). Is the gender ratio reasonable for straight couples? My imagined version of Mensa is a club that mostly attracts men.
Ask a dairy cattle farmer. That's where I heard it.
Yeah, it's kinda embarrassing and funny at the same time how this study is likely saying more about Mensa members than about high IQ people in general.
The Two Paths to the Future
I did that! Doubt I'm the person you're thinking of but it was something to put on my otherwise empty resume that would have consisted of jobs at Burger King and a oil change store. Once I had my first professional job under my belt, I left it off. No idea if it helped or hurt getting that first job but I suspect if nothing else it gave me a bit of confidence going into those first interviews after university.
I’ve noticed a trend that when visiting the homes of network engineers and sysadmins who have some custom network setup, the wifi is more likely to be broken than the average person who has something off-the-shelf like a Google Wifi puck.
The problem with pair programming is when it is used dogmatically. "two people, one workstation, alternate who writes code and who writes tests, start with tests first and the other person makes the code work." This is draconian but can work sometimes. I've done that and it can be interesting but I'm largely not convinced that it is a solid use of time, especially on easier problems/domains.

However, pairing is great! Double so when one member is learning the ropes. Maybe one screen, maybe two. Give junior members the opportunity to drive so they get familiar in the code base. Maybe drawing boxes on a whiteboard. Asking questions. In short: _Collaborating_.

A good pair session doesn't have someone coding while someone just watches or instructs. It is truly collaborative. It could be a joint investigation or it can be a mentor/mentee situation. Generally, one person at a time on code branch, but not always. Maybe one person is knocking out something jointly understood while the other is following up on other things (documentation, asking other devs, prototypes, etc). It is a great way to share tooling, tips, tricks, code history, gain shared understanding, help destroy knowledge silos, and often two sets of eyes are better than one and can catch mistakes quickly when your own tunnel vision would have you wasting time debugging something in the wrong place.

I consider these types of practices to be similar to what you learned in school, like never start a sentence with "and", and other grammatical or format rules. As a novice, these rigid rules help. And then you grow up. You realize that you can bend and break all kinds of rules to achieve good results.
AI names colors much as humans do
From an industrial/automotive/aerospace standpoint Raspberry Pi's are hot garbage.
Share code between client and server using WebAssembly[1]. The Twitch video player is written in C++ via WASM[2]. C# can be "full stack" with Blazor[3]. Rust can be "full stack" with Yew[4]. Similar support exists for other languages including Go[5] and even the TypeScript-syntax AssemblyScript[6].

A normal IQ person can improve their IQ/LSAT/GRE test score with appropriate training, but a higher IQ person will tend to score proportionally higher given the same training.
I read it again and it still reads the same way to me. Maybe you’d be willing to clarify what you did mean?
Probably less reliable and more overhead. You have to constantly evaluate what the new equivalent score and who knows, maybe even the max score isn't good enough anymore.
Deno tries to solve few of the problems you have listed.

1. https://deno.land/std is deno's standard library.

2. Yet to be seen. Deno has few good modules like deno cliffy and drash which are structured nicely and easy to use. Otherwise, plenty of matured library for web and node can be used too.

3. Yet to be seen. Module management in deno is very explicit and there are no magic updates.

4. Deno support workers with an additional sandbox layer for multi threading. There are few proposals to solve cumbersome worker setup (requiring a separate file) in the pipeline. They will get standardized soon.

5. Deno has first class support for typescript. Type checking speed is a bit faster due to some optimizations and you can use no-check in development to run your typescript code. That will give it a huge boost.

Having type checking at runtime would be great but it would add significant performance penalty. There were some attempts to add it to typescript via plugins but nothing panned out.

6. You can share much more code between deno and browser. It is more compatible with web than node. Huge win for switching context for front-end developers and using the same skill set.

Other than that, deno cli will feel exactly like go and cargo. It tries to provide a similar tool chain and UX which node ecosystem lacks. That should feel fast (most stuff is written in rust except the type checking part).

At the moment, they are trying different approaches to speed up type checking. One is to convert swc AST to something that tsc can understand.
I don’t use Adobe, so for me, the big culprit has always been MS Office and I’ve been able to mostly avoid it for years. I’m looking more at Slack, VSCode, and other “Essential” apps which have displaced Mac Native tools like BBEdit and if you squint hard, Adium.
I'm not trying to argue, I'm surprised and legitimately interested at your comment and would really like to understand where you're coming from.

Are you a current Linux desktop user? How long have you been? What distros do you use?

If Gnome had just paused or become what MATE is today, would we be better off? If you were suddenly emperor of the Gnome Foundation, what would you direct them to do?
> If you're being absolutely extreme then sure that's true.

I wasn't being extreme. I was making a statement based on year after year seeing people make the same claim. After the GC is gone, then it's the legacy C++ code, the lack of documentation, the lack of developers experienced with C++, the tooling, various language issues, and on and on.

The thing is, you can already disable the GC and slap @nogc on your program and you don't have a GC. Or compile with the -betterC flag and you don't have a GC. It's not like D requires using the GC. When you say that, the reply is "Yes, but..." followed by issues using D as @nogc.

> we are experimenting with Rust as an alternative and it's looking very promising. I want to see a bit more how the async situation plays out because that aspect of the language has me concerned but overall it's a really clean and principled language.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The GC is only one of many reasons you're not using D and probably never will. And that's okay, because if you remove the GC, someone like me will never look twice at the language.
I have read the opposite hypothesis, that is, people with exceptionally high IQ have a smaller mutation rate so to speak. The argument is based on the belief that most mutations are destructive or disruptive and thus, when intelligent people procreate, there are fewer chances for the offsprings to be as intelligent or smarter than parents due to mutations.

In essence, it is the same argument as to why it is harder for viruses to become more potent through mutations.

However, I am not a geneticist nor a virologist or anything remotely close so take my comment with a large grain of salt.
I just loved Anathem, Reamde and Fall.
At the Mensa meetings.

The selection bias works the other way as well: people who are happy with their Mensa social group get their social contact from that and don't bother hanging out on HN.
Switching to a VPS or two is an option. You get more control over the machines you're running.
Stupid question and probably tangential at this point, but: Torque wrenches aren't commonly found in people's homes?
A comparative HTTP page ("comparative" == "same text content, no non-text content, no XHR or JS to delay-load content") is almost always going to be faster. Every gemini page request has to set up a brand new connection, ie brand new TCP handshake and TLS handshake.
To give another perspective... I drink about 3 cups of coffee a day.

When I quit cold turkey I have a headache so bad I can't do anything at all for 3 days or so, and on day 2 I am bedridden with flu like symptoms(ive tried quitting multiple times).

My reaction to stopping is so severe, but I notice no issues while regularly consuming coffee other than I need it 1 or so hours max after I wake or I will have a headache all day.

I also feel low energy for weeks after stopping coffee.
The cipher only uses two fairly simple techniques: transposition and homophonic substitution. Both of these are covered in any elementary book on codes and ciphers. Combining the two makes a cipher which is tough but not impossible to crack given a long enough ciphertext as demonstrated here.
Bitcoin is only a limited, deflationary asset if one cannot use alternate cryptocurrencies. This is obviously not the case.
Thanks that's the same link I found too! makes me feel slightly better that US is soy country.

I never drank milk, even as a kid. But lately I've been doing more dairy and milk actually tastes ok in small quantities and it absorbs protein supplements better.

Though if you've never had actual food fresh soy milk it's very very good the store stuff is weak water in comparison.
POSSIBLE VAGUE SPOILER

I don't recall it actually being a plot device though. It effectively just served to drive Waterhouse's panic that someone was watching him, but then it sort of fizzles out. Unless I missed some implied detail, nobody actually ever used it to spy on him.
They define high IQs as off the normal curve (on a given side), in the same way they define disorders. Why would they scream surprise when they correlate both factors?
>>By convention comments are ignored, but the truth is they're not by the programmer.

>Disagree. It's more like the opposite is mostly true:

>By convention comments are not meant to be ignored

Otherwise who on earth would write them?
Who would like to write stuff that "by convention", is not going to be read?
So in the actual article they prove they can tell one real £10 note from another real £10 note, because every plastic note accidentally has a unique random texture.

But as these are real notes, they can be uniquely identified by the serial number anyway.

They never get to a part where they explain how this technique is useful in telling real notes from fake, since fake plastic notes would also have unique textures.
Gnome and GTK are heavily opinionated towards client side decorations. That means the fat borders are part of the application, not necessarily of the desktop manager.

You can make your own themes pretty easily though, if you want to change the theme. There's some quite-good-but-not-quite-there macOS themes that aren't too bad, especially with the top menu bars that Ubuntu used to have.
TSMC might not be responsible for 90% of the chips, but estimates are they account for 28% of the mature market [1]. They don't only do new nodes, but older nodes as well. Between them and UMC (also Taiwan based), those 2 companies account for 41% of all modern IC production. Micron and Powerchip are also big fabs out in Taiwan and if someone were to say that 50-60% of all 45nm+ ICs were made in Taiwan I would not be surprised.

If there was a geopolitical struggle and the fabs in Taiwan were impacted for months or years, we would see the effects of that for years or even decades. Its why China, US and EU are all trying to build some more resiliency in the supply chain. Its also why Taiwan has resisted allowing tech/expertise to leave, since the amount of leverage they have lets them punch way above their weight and makes them such a strategic partner to the rest of the world.

Maybe it's actually HN that attracts dissatisfaction? /jk It's a well known phenomenon that people are more likely to speak on the negative/critical opinions they have than to go out of their way to give praise.

| for what that is worth.

Not much.

I can't find any link between that user and commondreams.
Yes this is a real problem. We primarily use docker which solves the issue, but there are people that hate docker and want to run native. For the mac users that doesn't go too well.
I think MIT license only claims the code I wrote is provided under MIT (that's why you also have to include a NOTICES file listing other library licenceses in addition to the LICENSE file). It's not like they put MIT header and their name on that XML file.

> then they would have the right to sue the author of the gem whose false claim got them in trouble

Noninfringement is mentioned right there. It literally says that I DO NOT promise you that my code that I license to you under MIT (in good faith, ofc) does not infringe anyone's rights.
> They can train the bots based on on those games though, right? Seems more like a flaw in the training data than the principle.

I guess you could phrase it that way, but that's essentially the problem statement for developing a strategy for an imperfect-information game. So I would say it is a flaw in the principle if their final output is exploitable.
I find it ironic that the demographic that purchases expensive coffee machines/workflows is the demographic most likely to quit entirely.
It can be fiendishly difficult to break a completely unknown cypher, or one that has key elements withheld, even if it's quite trivial to break if the encryption algorithm is known.
And how much thinking led you to this conclusion, exactly? ;)
IQ is not distributed equally among men and women. The median is the same, but there are more men at the extremes for IQ (both high and low). Mensa membership is 66% male. https://www.us.mensa.org/learn/about/demographics/
Various patches have existed for at least a decade but every time they're proposed some issue is found and they're not merged so the goal posts shift from 'just write your own patch' to 'just become a Gnome maintainer' with no guarantees that you'll get the assistance you need to implement the feature or whether it'll even be merged, and fair enough, the Gnome team really don't owe anybody anything, but in that case getting annoyed that the community keeps referencing a 17 year old issue is just a natural part of the exchange.
We are actually going the other direction. Currently I am experimenting with making a Blazor/Liveview (HTML over wire) runtime that can support many programming languages. And a GUI builder.
That's exactly what they did - they have 3 bands of years for the SAT. Two year bands (<1974, 74-94) are accepted with different scores, and the more recent tests (94+) are not accepted.

The major change in 1994 was the allowance of calculators during the math portion. I don't know why MENSA couldn't make a similar score adjustment here.
Because that's where they make the 300mm wafers they use for their engine MCUs: https://www.renesas.com/us/en/products/microcontrollers-micr...

"The world isn't angry, nor is it racist, nor is it violent"

...we clearly don't live in the same world.
Not exactly. There may be some correlation, but there are certainly people who can get in via an aptitude test who would not be able to get in using an IQ test. The testing methods are completely different.
I also take 5000 a day and recently had labs that came back normal.
Perhaps the Mensa members are more likely to recognize a problem and seek treatment. This would align with high-iq-havers tending to live longer
I think getting physiology in this is just wrong. I don't know whether RMS is on the spectrum, and whether he would have been diagnosed as one if he passed some tests. I think it's beyond the point - even non-autistic people can make bad judgements, make mistakes, behave awkwardly, be stubborn and behave in socially awkward manner. Making it like "if we find a bad statement in your past, we're going to ruin your life, but if you have this magic paper then it's ok" - is not how you solve a problem or people's lives being ruined. RMS's voice is important not because he may or may not have certain condition, but because of what he's been saying and doing for years. It's not about autism, especially not about making it yet another "protected identity" checkbox.
And that's just the official BS unemployment rate, monotonically revised by government agencies to make unemployment appear less (e.g. by not counting people who've given up looking for work after a couple of years as unemployed, or by counting as "employed" people in BS substinence-like jobs nobody at their education level would take a generation or two ago)...
