Please consider that you could have elevated the conversation by actually addressing the idea of an illegal strike (what differentiates a legal one from an illegal one, for example).
Thats the problem, they _don't_ know them and are expected to study beforehand because they're not used often in many roles
What you may not see is that everything is incredibly intelligible.
Indian companies typically have a 'metro' and 'non-metro' salary structures. People who work in one of the metropolitan cities (I believe it's now Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and perhaps Pune) get paid slightly more than the same position in a non-metropolitan city.

If your role does not have a counterpart in a smaller city (common among sales teams), you may not see the city-pay structure simply because everyone in this role is already in a city-pay structure.
I one time took a class that introduced every linked data structure (lists, trees, stacks, queues, etc) with statically allocated arrays. Only later did they show the dynamic memory implementations. I thought it was a bit weird at the time, but now I guess it was to get students to focus on the data structure, instead of worry about pointers.
Real economics includes game-theoretic incentives to distort reality and craft narratives, including framing what is allowed to considered "real economics".

Why wouldn't it be more cost-effective or unreasonable to destroy the ship?
How many internet forum prophecy cults (you know like the q one) are or will be powered by these language models? It's often assumed or at least easier to imagine the evaluator in Turing's test is a rational actor that possesses a high-degree of skepticism. But it seems that a lot of the human population is ready and willing to believe wild claims with little or no evidence and many people seek out information that confirms what they already believe.

As the cost of making such models becomes less and less, it seems inevitable, spin up many such models and see what sticks and/or combine some evolutionary process for feeding back user-engagement to fine-tune and adapt the models. How many of these influence machines will latch onto the language of existing religious traditions and how many might invent or spur on the development of entirely new ones? Maybe not exactly the "Age of Spiritual Machines" that some futurists predicted...

How far are we from "Show HN: I started a cult by training a model on the sermons of televangelists and MLM copy."
On machines where I have a web server already running I like to expose an HTTPS "CONNECT" proxy which only allows connections to localhost:22 for this purpose. On the client side you can use "proxytunnel" as the ProxyCommand.
I find your concern valid.

Deno makes it easy to import from temporary places. However, this wouldn't be solved by having a centralized registry or a package manager like npm.

Npm can install from git repos and registries other than npmjs.

Having a package on npm by its own doesn't make it any less malicious.

A solution would be to enforce registries you can import from and fail if it's outside that.
Were you just using the browser/OS it came with, I guess like Windows 3.1 or 95?

Given their well-publicized insistence on building for a ton of obscure arches, I'd expect you could run modern Debian on such a machine no problem, with a modern web browser. Might be a little slow, especially if you stick with the original disk, but should be perfectly usable.
It's always fascinating to me to observe the small distance between the two in some philosophies.

The Discourse on the Method of Descartes, in which his famous phrase je pense, donc je suis occurs also includes a preceding segment where he considers whether he can know anything at all, or whether he's a disembodied consciousness fed false information by evil demonic powers (if you will, the "Matrix hypothesis"). He rebuts that hypothesis with a simple assertion that a just and loving God wouldn't allow such an arrangement of events to be the true nature of reality.

Depending on your bent, that can either allow the discourse to continue or put the brakes completely on it.
Catholicism also teaches that every non-Catholic person is going to hell.
I think we have come to a complication. My understanding of his words and the situation is what I posted. Yes they are talking about shedding the virus but it doesnt change the subject.

It was a mistake on their part, but the reasoning is irrelevant here. Mistakes are going to happen during a crisis.

The problem is the ongoing pattern of lying.

I genuinely people like Tam and Fauci are trying to the do the right thing but it sets for extreme levels of distrust by lying. The next pandemic may be much worse because we simply lost trust in experts because they lied.
Free will is supernatural. That is why leading atheists posit that it doesn’t exist.

Classic AI can definitely be deterministic and knowledge-based. It just sounded from that phrasing like you went down the "explainable outputs" route that is sometimes a part of such approaches (see expert systems, for example) and that is commonly missing these days (which may lead to people using outputs of complicated decision-making systems asking questions like "why would we want to do that?").
I suppose there's no reputational cost if it has become the norm.

The same thing has happened with We care about your privacy dark-patterns. Otherwise reputable sites like Tom's Hardware pay little reputation cost for trying to trick the user into granting full cookie permissions.
Was it because the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon from Revelations, or because it's secretly a pagan religion that worships Saints and the Virgin Mary as gods? I love the rationales people put forward for that kind of stuff.

For a Guy purportedly trying to bring salvation to humanity, some Jesus's followers do seem to relish opportunities to keep the everyone they can out of the Kingdom.
> that would be missing the point.

Which is?

> Spirituality is about who you are, your relationship to the greater good.

It can be, for some people. Not all. My personal relationship to the greater good has more to do with reasoned arguments rather than spirituality.

> 'Reasoning' is just a tool of the mind.
Would you agree it's a highly important tool?

Someone else in one of these canal threads said that Egypt charges slightly less than it would cost to sail around Africa. If that's true, that Egypt is probably capturing around as much value as is possible from the canal.
'Try not to stop and start' while driving, Honda tells owners
There is an idea of "God-shaped hole" that is an urge to have a belief in something transcendent or greater than oneself. As the organized religion is in decline, politics or activism seem to become a substitute that provides belief, sense of community, and a vision for improving the world. This also explains why there is so little rational discussion across the divide of the political spectrum in the US.

The same political views can come from observations and reasoning, or they can be ingrained as a belief and be a part of one's [group] identity. In the former case a rational discussion is possible. In the latter case it turns into a challenge of one's personal integrity and devolves into a fight of the righteous against the heretical other side.
I always go for 5 minutes. The workaround would be to lower the TTL we you know you are gonna make changes soon.
So you say busting unions leads to higher employment? Did that actually ever happen? We have over century of experience, why not learn from it.

I'm very sceptical that changing "not everyone is represented" into "nobody is represented" is an improvement.
Yes I agree. This seems to be a continuation of the trends described in “Bowling Alone”. The book argued in 2000 that television was a contributing factor. It is probably further worsened by the rise in online entertainment since.
Is it, though?

It strikes me as a sarcastic joke by burnt out security staff. Which would explain why we are hearing about it.
From this (very good) FT article https://www.ft.com/content/171c92ec-0a44-4dc5-acab-81ee2620d...

"But the specific engineering of container ships mean that they can’t get longer; they have to get wider. An oil tanker is a shoe box with a lid: hull on the bottom, oil in the middle, deck on top. But a container ship is a shoebox without a lid: hull on the bottom, then containers all the way up. It’s not as strong without the lid.

There are definitely hydrodynamic forces in the open ocean, it’s just that the ocean is usually in charge of them. And the biggest stress on a ship’s hull in heavy weather happens along the longitudinal bending moment — lengthwise, between the bow and the stern. The longer a ship gets, the worse the stress gets when a wave pushes up in the wrong place. As far as length goes for container ships, “we are at the limitations of welding and steel quality,” says Lataire. “I will not say that it is impossible to weld thicker plates, but in a way this is the economic limit.”
I'm not sure what that process would look like, but I'd be interested. I think the world needs more empathy and I have no doubt there is a lot I can learn. However, I'm skeptical that my anxiety comes from a lack of insight or understanding.

I do not have these sorts of worries around people with whom I am well acquainted. I know I'm not prejudice and I trust my friends to interpret my words and actions in good faith. But I recognize there is a minority of people out there who will intentionally take what I say or do in bad faith if it benefits them. People like that exist in all groups, regardless of physical traits. When interacting with a minority or protected class, I have to worry just as much about interpretations of those around me as that of the person I'm interacting with. In a world where accusations of prejudice are often met with a guilty-until-proven-innocent mentality, any such accusation is very damaging regardless of who it comes from.
Oh don’t get me wrong. I know this is my opinion. And I don’t think Hindus and Muslims don’t have very high symbols and good world views.

I’m just saying from what I’ve seen the symbol that Christ is it is very high and explains the world well. I’d love to have discussions over coffee with people with different cosmological explanations of the world.

The question why this isn’t something to be discarded is because a billion people share my opinion and we aren’t unreasonable for having it.

The idea that the most powerful king took up the side of the poor and needy, and aligned himself with them is an idea that I can’t see being defeated. The hero looking like he lost only to win once for all, to set the captives free is a story that is endlessly being recreated in books from people of all world views.

True though, to many, Christ is the symbol of what they’ve seen in
American Evangelical Christianity and that symbol might just die out, but the one taught in the 1st century till now I can’t imagine ever dying out.
I've seen issues with some DNS caches not honouring the TTLs if they're too short (less than 1 hour iirc, although memory is a bit hazy, it was some years ago) - in particular academic institutions tended to be the biggest culprits for this.
New Bugs Could Let Hackers Bypass Spectre Attack Mitigations on Linux Systems
What a great comment! I wrote a similar one on Reddit.
I am trying to avoid a flaming discussion here but am also trying to moderate your comment. I am trying to promote guns, no taxes, and slashing social safety nets but am also spending much time, talent, treasure on helping of those needy. I am disagreeing with state force but am also disagreeing with selfishing. I hope that the comment here is clarifying your view on the generalised population.
> The disruption will have introduced hypotheticals

In general, temporary disruption has some long-term positive economic effects (which is directly why 'disruption' is valued in Silicon Valley).

For example, during London Tube Strikes, commuters find different and more efficient routes and 5% ended up permanently changing their route on public transport: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/tube-strike...
Have you considered that it is not important, that it is obvious?

As a person that wasn't raised religious, the concept that you need religion to find a moral and ethical compass seems weird to me. My parents taught me values, I learned them, society reinforced them. They made sense to me, and I feel bad when I don't follow them. The mechanics of it are pretty simple.
You might not realize that this was an asshole move, but it was absolutely an asshole move.

Really, really not cool and really out of touch.

That is true, but you cannot force someone to fly it regularly to her. The miracles of modern medicine allow people to live when this would not have happened 100 years ago, but cannot guarantee that. Take it as a gift, not as a given.
You're right, it did go away for the poor who are thoroughly under the thumb of the wealthy. Many of the less well off residents of (for example) Boston or DC would relate to that sort of "trying to keep your existence on the down low lest you draw the ire of someone who will make your life harder" pattern of action.

Places like Cleveland, Buffalo, or anywhere that the local culture if free of thinking highly of the local culture people are much more open and friendly than major metros and their high class suburbs.
As a 10-year-planner, you're welcome. I do want pinboard.in to continue, even though I would be only mildly inconvenienced if it didn't. But also, I've enjoyed reading some of your blog posts and want you to be able to continue doing stuff like that and writing about it.
Lee from Vercel here, happy to answer any questions about Next.js!

One interesting note not mentioned in the blog post. We've created new performance profiling tooling which will run on each commit into the Next.js repo. This tracks metrics like initial build times, fast refresh times, traces through the system, and more. We used this tooling to test large Next.js applications (our own as well as some Vercel customers) to measure Fast Refresh improvements. Excited for the future of Next.js!
It's not surprising. The biggest danger of having tremendous wealth and/or power seems to be that you can no longer accept and integrate valid criticism from others.
I’m unsure, but cat pee is in a class of its own. That stuff is evil.
Actually was glad to see a corporation tweeting what its actual intentions were.

>Kinda feel bad for them here though because they did things initially pretty much exactly right: paid real money to a developer with reasonable credentials to work in upstream to develop this feature with apparently best of intentions. That is pretty much textbook example how corporations can participate in open source (without in-house developers).

I mean, I see what you're saying, but I can't 100% agree with this. As a textbook example, I still remember way back when Apple was getting started with KHTML and what would eventually become WebCore and WebKit, and they got quite a lot of heat for a while early on for just doing big fat block code dumps without following project procedures and such. "Contributions welcome" is true for anyone, but there is an implicit (and often these days explicit for larger projects) "...as long as you follow our code standards, communicate, put in the basic effort to do a professional job, etc". Contributions don't have to be perfect but there needs to be some meat there or it's just a waste of everyone's time. Even for a big corp doing big work, just "throwing code over the fence" so to speak often is not appreciated.

Netgate hired him, so they were ultimately responsible. They apparently did a very, very poor job of both checking on him and supporting him, which is on them. They didn't see about coordinating with the actual guy who created the entire thing. They didn't do a basic sanity check of what he'd finished before trying to have it pushed right to main, and they were aggressive about deploying a security product that was really really shoddy and in context quite dangerous right out to the general public. And then they were complete dicks about even relatively low-key efforts to try to fix it with as much face saved all around, too much even.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't actually seem like a great example of how corps can participate productively. Nor do I honestly think it "highlights how difficult participating in open source can be". Can't just expect unlimited gratitude purely for volunteering something useless/dangerous.
There are certain places near my house where some rideshare drivers like to idle, where the gutter always has soda bottles full of urine in it.

I don't want to disparage the people doing those jobs, but the rideshare companies have pretty clearly added quite a lot of oversupply relative to what the infrastructure can handle; cab companies have facilities and cab stands etc where drivers can relieve themselves, where rideshare drivers are left on their own to leave their fluids in litter in the street.
The article is supposed to be a joke.

If the author did not intend for it to be a joke, you can make the conclusion that the author has psychopathic tendencies.
I reserve a different term for bugs where the backend is actually wrong (e.g. emitting the wrong SIMD instruction was a fun one)!
If the goal is to get rid of NPM, why would you add another one in the future?
I read this fresh out of university and it made me want for a culture that no longer exists. If it ever did, that is, for anyone beyond a few elites. The world may have been for two sigma individuals in the past but now it's for three or four sigma individuals. Leaving me in what feels like intellectual bronze or silver.
Suez Canal policy (enforced by contracts) removes liability from the Authority and its pilots. Also worth noting that the pilots don't control the helm directly. That doesn't mean it wasn't their fault :) We may never know.
> "Why not simply... make more?"

besides the obvious lack of spare manufacturing capacity, we didn't really need to. we already had the simpler, more effective, and immediately available mitigation of distancing. masks are for performative signaling and any old piece of cloth is fine for that, as we saw eventually be recommended.
Apart from rust not being smart enough to see what you're doing in this sort of situation, the access pattern you're trying to use would actually result in undefined behavior with &mut pointers (or I assume C restrict pointers) because of the aliasing guarantees. For example one optimization you could imagine the compiler actually doing would result in the following

let mut x = String::new();

let str1 = x; (store x in a local pointer, no one else is touching it because we have aliasing guarantees)
let str2 = x; (store x in a local pointer, no one else is touching it because we have aliasing guarantees)

for _ in 0.. 10 {
str1.push_str("cb1,");
str2.push_str("cb2,");
}

x = str1; (restore x to the original variable before our aliasing guarantee goes away)
x = str2; (restore x to the original variable before our aliasing guarantee goes away)

And you just:

- Leaked str1

- Created an x that just says cb2 repeatedly instead of alternating between cb1 and cb2.

Obviously it's possible to fix this problem by having different guarantees on pointers (C's pointers, rust raw pointers), but it's not clear that the occasional overhead of some metadata tracking (refcell) isn't actually going to be more performant than the constant overhead of not having aliasing guarantees everywhere else. The most performant would be obviously having both, but as we've seen with C asking programmers to go around marking pointers as restrict is too much work for too little benefit.
None of this stuff is one or the other. It can be centralized, and also it can be on the average Joe’s roof or in the average Joe’s backyard. With or without a grid. Without the grid, you need some extra equipment so people who can, tend to opt for having the grid hooked up. But it’s possible to do it independently and be free of all the centralization.

Oh, wait. Not true for nuclear.

> Even my kids’ friends’ parents are often tedious to hang out with.

I consider myself very lucky to live in the Bay Area, where most of my kids' friend's parents also work in tech. So hanging out at a random birthday party ends up being an unintentional networking event, where I get to meet new people working on cool tech.

I wonder as remote work continues to be popular, if that will continue.
But in those more modern platforms, web apps still have a big disparity vs native in terms of privilege, and it's not obvious why the gap should shrink; after all, apps that run native have passed their internal bureaucracy process and are thus more trustworthy.
What were the biggest factors in reporting them? The average delivery driver works way harder and probably commits way fewer immoral actions then the average HN user for a fraction of the salary.

Crowdfarming – Online Farmer's Market
I suspect that many people just don't want to believe it, and shape their beliefs to fit their ideology.
I don't mean to imply that a religious person can't be outlier smart in other ways (Knuth being a great example but there are many others), but that doesn't mean something isn't broken with their world view. People are wildly inconsistent by default (myself included) and it takes great effort to try and recognize these kinds of failures in order to correct them.

In fact, the smarter the person is - the more complex their rationalizations typically are.

As far as finding major religions support a rational world view, it's too easy to cherry pick religious text examples to support anything so I won't do that here. I'll just say that while I'd like that to be true, I think that it's not.
Any serious intro to CS course will have them as part of the curriculum (at least for linked list).

Even when not teaching about memory, it's used to teach recursion.
The reality was more nuanced. The messaging was that 1) there is no evidence that masks reduce risk of getting COVID; and 2) many people who wear masks tend to risk-compensate, e.g. standing closer to others in the queue than they would have if they were not wearing a mask. They wear a mask and feel safe, so they do things that put them in danger.

So if benefits may be zero and people are risk-compensating and living a more risky life because of the false sense of security that comes with a mask, people would be worse off if they wear a mask. This was all explained in the early days of the pandemic. It wasn't some hush-hush behind the curtains plot by the ruling class.

I remember reading it somewhere, though I cannot find it now so it may not have been true, that light cigarettes tend to be more harmful than regular ones: people who smoke them tend to inhale them deeper and smoke them more frequently than they would a regular cigarette, which negates the positive effects of using a light and then some. The mask concern was similar.
And he probably voted for Reagan.

It was curious then how such rational workers did not understand Reagan’s ideological bent. It’s not like he hid it.
