Neuralink monkeys are housed with at least one other monkey for grooming / social activities, and are in the same room with visibility to other monkeys. Are they as happy as zoo monkeys? Probably not. But they're probably much happier than most other research monkeys.
"performance and control of C" also means that you can make datastructures with arbitrary pointers, right? The simplest example that doesn't work in rust is a linked list.

How can you do that when you only have multiple stacks, but no heap?
I think it's because they have anti-adblocking tech.

Imagine being media in 2021 and denying access to your site based on adblocking? I instantly close the site. What are they providing that I can't get elsewhere? What are they providing beyond the headline?

Firefox on iOS does not support extensions, fwiw
They can't have a lot of confidence in their product being superior when they have to resort to these kind of tricks. I mean I knew about the lock-in but this actively makes me want to avoid Apple products.
Ask HN: What do you use for Log Management?
I've tried to add Datadog to a small Flask app I'm working on without success, it's not as simple as Sentry which I've done in less than a minute. And also as a follow up to this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12682566
Yeah, I want to point out that uBlock Origin is fully functional on mobile firefox which makes it by far the best browser on Android. Plus with firefox you can do fun things like disable the Wake Lock API on youtube so that you can listen to audiobooks or music with the screen off and ad-free.
Why Biden ignores the nuclear deal
I hear you. One of the greatest reasons I miss Firefox on android was because it allowed ublock.
...does that happen?

The situation you're describing is going to be far more about the specific personalities and power dynamics than anything related to accurate performance estimation.
Perhaps they read the cautionary tale of "Why there is no moloch13":

The same, I find news articles particularly bad examples. I get advertisments, but news articles with excessive clickbaiity adds (adds not internal links to other articles) really do just make me close the tab down.

If there was some better mobile integration of the extensions or built into the browser itself to be perhaps less intrusive adds allowed it would be appreciated.

From that, are browsers legally allowed to implement an adblock/ublock directly into their browser ? Seems like something that would be considered against fair use or something along those lines.
It started out as syndicated broadcast media that you could subscribe to for a one time purchase of a receiver.
Sucks, but I'm pretty locked into Chrome. I use GSuite for management, ChromeOS, etc. Maybe it means that uBlock Origin can't protect me as well, but it's pretty hard for me to give up the benefits from all of those other things.

I don't see Firefox competing. Mozilla doesn't seem to believe that monetizing a browser is possible, whereas I pay thousands of dollars a year at my company because of Chrome's integrations with these other systems.

Until Firefox can compete like that, and maybe they just can't, I can't switch.
Issue is, cars are incredibly convenient.

Need to get somewhere in the suburbs? Carry large items? Go in the nature for the weekend? Any route that's not been anticipated by the central-public-transport-planning-committee is probably way better done with a car latency-wise.

Above a certain income threshold, it'll be really hard to convince people to ditch their car completely. You might get away with reducing car footprint from one per adult to one per household. Any dense development should have some sort of underground parking planned for it. Then it makes it much easier to get rid of on-street parking and convert the space into safe cycling infrastructure.
Bullshit. Plenty procedures aren't even covered, as soon as you're slightly out of the commonest procedures and you want some quality healthcare you're going to pay, and part yourself from thousands euros.

Proper dental procedures, substitutive hormone therapy, plenty rate stuff require specialists or medicines that mutua doesn't pass. heck if you have a condition that require a specialist during pregnancy you're going to have to pay everything out of your money to avoid the random ginecologist rotation, to the tune of 120€+/visit, and you're going to need ten or more if any complication arises.

This is the typical uninformed comment from some ableist that never actually had to suffer from the Italian healthcare beyond the most basic services.
There are also cases isolated from US blood samples taken before any known infection in China's outbreak, so the racist nature of this discussion is really misplaced. In reality, statements about the origin of this virus are almost purely geopolitical speculation, and it is from these politics that racism is injected into the etymology.

There is a big wet market in Wuhan, pretty close to the virus research lab.

According to the below video, eating exotic wildlife dates back to the starvation conditions of the Mao years and is now mostly practiced by the rich. The conditions in which these animals are kept are unsanitary, even by comparison to a market with live animals that you might be familiar with in the US.

There was a push to end the practice after SARS-CoV-1, but they came back a few years ago.

Why should NE2000 have been bad? It was the gold standard for ISA NICs in terms of compat, with many clones available, similar to what SoundBlaster was for audio cards.
It’s a little more complicated, lightbulbs where very much a useful thing before Edison and several other improvements occurred from 1802 to Edison’s 1879 patent and the actual breakthrough of a cheap bulb reaching 1200 hours occurred after that patent. Warren de la Rue for example had an efficient and long lasting design that was simply to expensive for mass production. Henry Woodward is arguably the first inventor of a practical bulb using carbon rods in nitrogen filled bulbs, though his business failed and he sold the patent to Edison.

Critically, it was really electric infrastructure more than the physical bulb design that resulted in GE’s success. Arc lamp’s had become very popular for street lighting through the 1870’s, which really set the stage for lighting alternatives.
I think the rate of change of the decline will likely accelerate (the second derivative).

We have done nothing but waste valuable time for, I don't know, somewhere between 25 and 50 years. And 100% of it is in the hands of our "leaders" in government. They are so incredibly incompetent and partisan its sad.

I don't want to blame any one party in particular because this mismanagement goes back decades.

Oddly enough, as much of an asshole as he was, Trump was, in fact, doing the right things. And now things are derailing again.

Two simple examples: Spend billions on infrastructure. This is 100% bullshit. We have plenty of roads. Good ones. We have everything we need. What we don't have is a legislative, regulatory, tax and educational framework that pushes innovation, entrepreneurship and business to the level we need to survive and grow.

Anyone who thinks this can be solved by building more roads and bridges has to answer very simple questions:

1- How long will that take?

2- If this is a precondition for success, what will you do to encourage companies --in massive numbers-- to come to the US?

3- How long will that take?

My prediction, if we don't get off the bullshit train, the "infrastructure" bullshit bill will consume twenty years (that might be a low estimate) and nobody is going to have any interest in moving or starting businesses here at scale because during that time the action will most definitely be in China. It already is.

Second example: The Border.

Yeah. Controversial subject. Last month they detained somewhere in the order of 150K people at the border, of whom 25% are from countries other than Latin America.

The run rate, at the moment, is in the order of about TWO MILLION people coming in this year, if it doesn't get worse.

Answer this very simple question:

What industry is creating TWO MILLION new jobs for these people to land without affecting current employment?

If policies don't change we will add somewhere around 8 to 10 MILLION people in four years. More if this administration manages to gain another four years. 20 MILLION?

We are losing jobs to China and other locales by the millions. Where are these people going to work? Who is going to employ them? And, at $15 per hour, what kind of job will support them when our economic outlook doesn't look so great?

Border states are clamoring for the completion of the border wall and control of the border. What is currently happening is abominable. Kids piled into cages. They have 4,000 people in a venue that is only allowed to have 250.

This is demented. We have gone insane. And our leadership is failing us at a massive scale.
I use Firefox out of principle and because of Sidebery, but WOW, Chromium is faster by a lot from my experience. That is fresh Chromium vs. configured and used Firefox, though.
> Maybe a similar sort of thing with software would be spending time on animations -- the result is a cool flourish, but it lasts 0.15 seconds and it took 3 days to get it just right, and it's impossible to quantify how worthwhile it was beyond a gut feeling. Even still, that's not even in the same ballpark in terms of time or effort.

The difference is that movies are all or nothing productions in an industry set up for a waterfall process with directors who exert creative control. Everything from dealflow to billing to the unions are set up to support the industry's unique requirements. They do the same kind of budget triage as software companies do, but they emphasize the creative aspect far more relative to tech since they're competing over form not function.

The nearest creative equivalent would probably be Jobs-era Apple but I think the best analog would be NASA, whose missions are dictated by scientific and exploratory goals outside of their control. Except instead of an artistic direction, they have to contend with physics that dictates they spend extreme resources on seemingly trivial details like what tape or writing implement works best in zero-g.
Yeah there are definitely a lot of edge cases when it comes to filesystem operations. It works for the simple stuff though (ex accidentally grabbing the wrong file or dropping it in the wrong folder).

I mostly just use Ranger in a VTE to be honest. Cut/Copy/Paste and directional navigation of a tree using standard Vim keybindings is just more fluid than anything with a mouse could ever hope to achieve. Add to that dropping to the shell with `S` with my hands already on the keyboard and it's by far the best workflow I've come across.

If you commute long enough through places of high poverty you'll have some stories. I'd get a gun pulled on me for driving. I'd also have friends and colleagues brag to me about pulling guns on other drivers. I'd tell them they were crazy but in their mind it's a completely valid reaction.

I used to just use iMessage, but then my mother got a Samsung. We've all pretty much transitioned to WhatsApp as a result. It's more convenient to just use one app for all our chat even though most of our phones are iPhones.
Thanks. It's not that UTF-8 is not on the list, it's always been on the list, it's just not there yet. Hence I felt the need to stipulate the lack of it in the manual, because of its importance.

If you're so inclined, examine rex.c, and you'll see (e.g. rex_nfa_make_ranged_trans() for example) that the engine internally works with ranges of uint32 for this very unicode reason.

The front-end regex parser and driver code, however, are not there yet, so prior to code emission, these beautiful ranges of uint32 codepoints are back-translated into rote uint8 tables. Such is the fate of wanting to ship. It'll come.
Has anyone replicated a sqllite db to Cloudfront cache and used that as an input to their Lambda@Edge ?

I have been thinking about this for a while as it would avoid having cloudfront making a origin call to the backend server for db reads on data that does not change frequently. I am trying to figure out why this is a bad idea .

I see a lot of people here wondering how anyone could be taken in by Ponzi schema. However, a lot of the same people are "investing" in BitCoin - where the most recent rise in price may be due to a foreign company that mints new money out of thin air.

To be clear: I am NOT BitCoin is a ponzi schema. Some other alt coins definately smell like it - especially if they are created without doing ANY kind of work.
What we do at Channable is build our packages with Nix, push them to Cachix, and record the Nix store path. (CI does that automatically for release builds.) Then we use Ansible to declare that that is the store path that we want to realize on the appropriate servers. Our packages contain an "activate" script that updates symlinks in /usr/bin, or systemd units. Ansible calls this script after realizing the store paths. We have some functions written in Nix to help writing these activation scripts, and Nix makes it easy to import them from a Git repository, so we have it in one place and import it in all of our repos. We are now moving towards CD by automatically running Ansible in some cases.
Am I the only one here not finding anything nefarious about this? Seems like they didn't know, advised caution, and now they know. If anyone was hysterical about this, I feel like that has more to do with where they got the information.
But... it doesn't. I can look down at my old, not-phone-connected fitbit any time I want and see how many steps I've walked so far during the day. Or what my heart rate it. Or any number of other things.

It doesn't _need_ the phone to be able to do that part of it's job. And I don't want the "challenge your friends to a walk-a-thon" junk that does use the app.
I live in the rocky mountains area of the USA.
I'm from Georgia as well (I went to Georgia Tech).

In addition to HOPE, you also have Zell-Miller which is even more generous (covers housing, food, and books).

The fact that Georgia's aid is tied to merit is a system that I personally agree with, but understand why someone might not. It's something that the voters of each State should litigate.

How does that relate at all to my comment? I think you replied to the wrong thread?
Oh I'm aware of passthrough. It's just a complete second class citizen because it isn't really virtualization, it's a hack. Virtualization is about multiplexing hardware. Passthrough is the opposite of multiplexing hardware: it's about yanking a peripheral from your host system and shoving it into one single guest VM. The fact that this yanking is poorly supported and has poor UX makes complete sense.

I consider true peripheral multiplexing with true GPU virtualization to be the way of the future. It's true virtualization and doesn't even require you to sacrifice and/or babysit a single PCIe connected GPU. Passthrough is just a temporary hacky workaround that people have to apply now because there's nothing better.

In the best case scenario - with hardware SR-IOV support plus basic driver support for it, enabling GPU access in your VM with SR-IOV would be a simple checkbox in the virtualization software of the host. GPU passthrough can't ever get there in terms of usability.

You can't have interactive elements inside anchor tags. Very often the box will have some additional buttons for different actions, like "Save for later". I like the approach of using an anchor tag just for the title and have another click handler on the box to serve as a fallback, but you don't get to ctrl-click on the box anymore. Alternatively you can have the link be a sibling of the buttons in the DOM, but visually cover the whole box and appear behind the buttons. As you can imagine, any solution like this is going to add more work and be a potential source for bugs.

This is one of the two things that I really wish browsers would fix, instead of cramming in completely new features. The second is how hard is it to make popovers work correctly, especially inside scrollable containers.
I hereby humbly move to make Matilda the Chicken (or Mike, the Headless) the oficial Amazon mascot. Votes welcome :)

Funny enough, I have no heavenly idea how, I had actually run into the article on poor Mike before.-

Further edit: Come to think, poor Mike the "headless" would be a great mascot for -at least- AWS, for obvious, ssh-related reasons :)
Not mandatory to donate. Mandatory to make an explicit choice of whether to donate or not (neither opt-out nor opt-in).
I don’t think this narrative is true.

So much of the early discussion around covid was about how little we knew. I think we were generally adequately informed about the likelihood that our early understanding would change.

Now, of course, there was hysteria and people making overly strong claims. But that’s nothing new or specific to our covid response.

Some people might have problems with the strong recommendations from authorities/experts, given the lack of information. But keep in mind that not recommending action was also a very strong and risky stance, given what we knew. So there was no choice. Guesses had to be made, one way or the other, and of course some of them would turn out to be wrong.
The speed of light ought to remain constant (for inertial observers). So nothing would be different locally as far as I'm aware.
This completely ignores the fact that hosting costs don't really matter. If Spotify can make more money on new subscriptions than they paid some content creator for exclusivity then it's worth it to them. And if the content creator gets more money by selling their exclusivity to some platform than they got for ads then it's worth it to them too.
Not yet. I don't like the precedent that the thing they pulled sets, but:

a) It took a LOT to shift my entire network over to Signal. The vast majority would not want to move again so quickly.

b) I'm not in the UK, and I'm located somewhere where there are several jurisdictional roadblocks to cryptocurrencies. It may not even see the light of day here. This makes it even more difficult to advocate for a move, and also might mean it's not a cause for concern.

I get that this could well be the first in a series of bad moves that are user-hostile, and the centralized nature of the app and the fact that they do not allow third party clients or federation means that you're stuck with whatever they serve you, but I don't want to switch yet.

The number of viable alternatives is just very less.

XMPP is pretty good, but I am yet to find an XMPP messenger that does @ mentions, a feature I and all my contacts constantly use in large group chats, and media delivery has been somewhat of an issue with some XMPP messengers I have tried.

Matrix is slow. I don't have the hardware to self-host it, and matrix.org on Element can be slow even now when adoption is rather low. If enough people move to it, performance will be even worse than Signal.

Telegram security is nowhere near comparable and it has even more bloat and nonsense features I want nothing to do with, although the UX is pretty great. Plus they also have cryptocurrency on their platform, and ads in some shape/form. Wickr etc are proprietary, so that leaves Wire, Threema and Session. They seem alright

Wayland means moving backwards. It has the complete wrong philosophy and abstractions. If "sway" runs flawlessly for you you are not doing much with your computer at all.

If anyone begins to feel trapped in a cage, please don't just yet. For instance, astronomers currently estimate on the order of 10¹² planets in Milky Way alone, of which up to 11 billion could be Earth-sized and orbiting Sun-like stars [1]. So there's still plenty to explore/colonize, especially if you include the few tens of neighboring galaxies.

As an employee I want to join a company and exchange my services for money. Not join a political movement. I can also vote with my feet, if a CEO decides he wants to drag politics into this equation I can try and go else where. Also in my limited experience companies driven by some hr agenda about inclusivity and diversity have stopped promoting based on merit, instead promoting based on quotas. That will only last so long. Also hearing this moralising nonsense while they invest heavily in China makes me doubt there's any sincerity behind this. Just wanting to look virtuous to a bunch of misled virtue signaling staff, who are probably in the minority but who are extremely vocal.
