That maybe an effect, but that is in no verifiable way, the purpose. In my experience, when confronted with a "the real purpose of", what follows can directly be translated to "me or one of my loved ones is being affected in this way". What you call the middle class is likely the rich by most other standards.

Regardless, If we follow that logic to absurdity, why don't we directly just pay out the rich from the earnings of the poor? They are going to get it anyway.

Laws now seem focused on an iterative stemming of the tide. In this case, eventually the laws (hopefully) get good enough that the rich can't just can't restructure. In that way, it is no unlike iOS base-band. Is it secure? Heck no. Yet, is it secure enough (with a platform open enough) that the hacking is not worth... for most, yeah.
I dunno. The confluence of the interests of furries and Metal Gear/Deus Ex/Cyberpunk fans might make for a lucrative market leading into the widespread adoption of Anansization.

Jokes aside, I'm surprised at the rather negative response. As a medical problem, you're looking at not just cosmetic applications, but also treatments for not-uncommon disfigurement or injury, and the phasing out of existing, quite brutal, leg-lengthening surgeries. Philosophically, you have the issue of bodily agency, and the opportunity to remove that particular source of interpersonal disparity and discontent. Scientifically, I'd think it an interesting problem, one that seemed as implacable as death, except that it isn't, because we have brute-force methods to circumvent the proscriptions of the natural process.

Figured that would be something HN would be eager to chat about.
The next time you hear someone make an argument against remote work, remind them of what has been achieved in the last 30 years by the Linux kernel developers working across so many different countries and time zones.
The negativity is because Latinos did not call themselves Latinx, white people called them that because they didn’t understand and were intimidated by gendered languages, seeing them as a threat to “inclusivity” rather than just a different way of speaking. So then any “progressive thinking” Latino was forced to adopt the term for themselves as a result of peer pressure to fit in.

I know I’m being hit with downvotes to my name the more I try to explain this but I’d rather speak the truth and be punished than stay quiet and take it to the grave.
When you read the entire section of the book, Martin claims that those tests main purpose is to serve as a normative documentation. The developer can read the test case and then figure out what was meant to be programmed.

While it might be illuminating in some cases, it might be not helpful or either misleading in other cases.

It's like arguing that the main purpose of magazines is to lit a fire with them, because some of them are very flammable.

Tests are good to ensure that some property of the system that held true before still holds true after some modifications to the system has been made.
The last time I took an interest, "Quantum Finish with Powerball" seemed to be the sweet spot for performance vs. cost. That's decade old information, though.
Is there another "scrolling" window manager like FVWM which gives you a workspace larger than your screen but doesn't have an impenetrable configuration DSL?
Hot take:

Remote work ultimately sticking around is going to have a similar ‘white flight’ effect happen again to American cities. The crime numbers always serve to fulfill confirmation bias, and this will manifest in a ‘quiet’ way (where did all the white people go?).
It seems to me like the goal of any particular culture -- by which I mean the effort of trying to create any particular culture -- will necessarily be in the eye of the beholder. Owners will be looking to maximize profit. Employees will be looking to enjoy their jobs. Customers will be looking for good service.

There is also another Twilight Zone episode where common words gradually change meaning and the hero slowly lose his ability to communicate and has to fake understanding. Pretty scary one.

Not sure why your comment is being downvoted, most of my friends think I am paranoid when I say we shouldn't only support chrome. To them it's the browser that always works whereas the others are a PITA to support.
The fact that reverse thermal gradients are often present in microwave thermal processing of materials is quite well known and can be replicated in food in your home microwave, precisely as nabla9 said, regardless of Mythbusters being able to produce a forward thermal gradient.

Microwaves attenuate as they penetrate a resistive or high-permittivity substance, because they deposit some of their energy as they pass through. In the limit of infinite depth, no radiation survives and there is no heating. Given a homogenous substance, the heating is always strongest at the surface, decaying exponentially (to a good approximation) as you go deeper.

However, heating is not the same thing as temperature. The surface of food in your microwave is exposed to room-temperature air and can therefore cool down by conducting its heat to that air. Food just under the surface can conduct its heat to the surface food, while deeper food cannot. It's easy to set up situations where this results in a reverse thermal gradient penetrating some distance into the food, or even all the way to the center. This is one of the most significant advantages of microwave heating in industrial material processing, because there are many cases where the normal thermal gradient produces cracking and microwave-induced reverse thermal gradients do not.

You can set up a forward thermal gradient with microwave heating by some combination of hot air, strong attenuation, short exposure times, shorter wavelengths, and great depth, although unless the air is actually hotter than the highest temperature reached within the food there will always be a reverse thermal gradient present at the surface, since the heat equation always produces a continuous temperature field at t ≠ 0. You may be able to get the reverse thermal gradient to be entirely outside the solid body if you work hard enough, but a much easier way is to only measure the temperature at intervals large enough that the entire reverse thermal gradient is smaller than the first interval. For example, if the thermal maximum is 8 mm under the skin, you could measure the temperature at the surface, 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm.

The attenuation is dependent on the attenuating medium and on wavelength. As explained in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System the ADS uses 95-GHz radio waves with 0.4-mm penetration depth in human flesh, while your microwave oven used 2.4-GHz radio waves with 17-mm penetration depth in human flesh.

nabla9 has been downvoted for politely and straightforwardly, if briefly, explaining these perfectly correct and verifiable facts, facts which are central to the discussion. This makes it clear that the voting public at HN has extremely poor judgment and should not be permitted a vote on comments of decent people.
I understand the appeal of Salesforce, though in my experience it is just as clunky and slow as the software it replaced. I'm sure there are configurations that are not that way, but it's a horrible part of my day to day experience using it as a customer support module. Comments take 4 seconds to add. Opening a case in a new tab is 30 seconds or more. Comments and feeds load progressively, slowly, making it nearly impossible to get to the beginning of long discussions. URLs are long and crazy and have no useful info or anything cool in them. We've had Salesforce consultants and experts come in and gain a second or two here or there but it's been an awful experience over the last 5 years.
> "Strictly liable" means that the

> consumer doesn't need to prove

> who was at fault

IANAL

AIUI 'Strict liability' means that the consumer doesn't even need to show that any party was at fault. The bad thing happened, and the seller/whoever will be held liable even if all of their actions were perfectly reasonable.

For most torts, you have to show intent or negligence. But for strict liability torts, the outcome is enough.
I was going to say, there is a way to do the server side logic with Emacs... ;-)
That is not exclusive to OO and it wasn't invented by OO either. However, the common pitfall of changing the implementation of a method that was not designed to be changed I would argue to be more common in OO than in other paradigms. That's a common pitfall, though. Not a place where OO shines. Though, to be fair, that's a problem in Java, Python and other popular OO languages, but not inherently a problem of the paradigm per se. C++, for instance, avoids that common issue by not making methods virtual by default.
It seems that Dengvaxia is a live attenuated vaccine, what is the relationship with mRNA vaccine?
Thanks. I’ve never in my life heard “il chia”. And you wouldn’t formally write something so informal.

Anyone curious can verify that google translate doesn’t even understand “il chia” and google translate is quite good on French.
We’re on track to set a new record for global meat consumption
no, into common block maps. it's filesystem compression and deduplication, and it works great, on a lower level from libraries. I use it with ZFS and btrfs, works wonders.
> [...] some free software project maintainers think it’s OK to impose their political / ideological stances on who can use their software, and for what purpose it can be used. They are violating the zeroth freedom [The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose] to advance their political agendas

I genuinely don't understand the point this article is trying to make. For one, who (beyond the law) has the right to demand that free software developers do (or don't do) whatever they demand?

Second, on a more practical level, both of the examples cited[1][2] keep their code bases on GitHub. If anyone disagrees with the direction of travel taken by the developers of those software packages, then surely they are entirely free to fork the repository and start developing it in the direction they want to take it.

> only real difference between most animals and humans

But if I'm not mistaken this is not true of early humans, even "anatomically modern" humans. We don't really know when language evolved but it's probable that early humans did not "speak" for a long while.
That only works if every owner participates, and if you’ve got every owner participating in the same authority then you don’t need NFTs.
Largely agree with your assessment, but...

>Is a store that runs software to host products from distributors a store? Yes.

Is not valid (presupposed outcome)

Did you mean,

Is a marketplace implemented via software to host products from multiple suppliers a store?

Conclusion: Yes. It is. It has inventory. It brokers sales and transactions. It is a store.
Probably for those who regularly eat out and use dishes and glasses to eat.

I am guessing college students, vacation homes, etc.

Who decided what the end is? It would seem that when society accepted the legal construct of the corporation, it was not because the man in the street felt that there had to be a way for capitalists to get even richer. And still to this day, if you ask the man in the street why we have corporations, I don’t think the answer will be that.

But you are right, many executives tend to agree with your point of view. That’s probably the single largest problem in society today.
No.

From that link "...two proline substitutions (K986P and V987P, designated "2P") that cause the spike to adopt a prefusion-stabilized conformation reducing the membrane fusion ability, increasing expression and stimulating neutralizing antibodies..."

It's a modified version of the spike protein designed as an antibody target, not to identically replicate the spike protein function.
If you use Golang, check out their newly introduced "embed" using which you can embed all your files into a single binary. I used to use Docker (and Kuernetes for a short while), got frustrated and switched to Buildah/Podman for quite some time, and then now have switched to using embed.

I have a Golang server with Flutter frontend interacting using GRPCWeb. Now I'm able to embed the Go server code, all the Flutter generated web code, generated Protobuf code, TLS certs, all the other resources, EVERYTHING into a SINGLE statically linked binary with no external dependences. I.e., you just run the executable and it just works. Of course it interacts with an external Redis binary but by itself it's just a single executable that can just be deployed with an scp to cloud, how much easier can you get? You do need your own orchestration mechanisms, but packaging wise it seems great.

Anyone else tried this?
This is really cool! I wonder what the restrictions are and if we would ever be able to write to a SQLite db like this in the future. This could push more to the front end without needing to write apis.
On a tangent: if humanity ever found themselves in a children of men-style situation, I think an excellent use of the final generation’s resources and effort would be building a system of fully automated luxury communism for the corvids and parrots of the world. Automated seed farms, drones that carry birds with broken wings to safety and treat their wounds, self-cleaning nesting boxes, etc.
This is a good article and history is Salesforce. Another shorter developer focused perspective: Salesforce is a relational database editor. You can create tables, columns, and relationships, app in a nice UI without writing code. You get automatic views and edit forms for records in the tables. And the whole thing is built on a platform where you can write custom sandboxed code to manipulate those records, or expose them over APIs to external systems.

The platform is both powerful and pretty clunky. Salesforce development is consistently 20 years behind established best practices. Learning Salesforce means learning the thousands of limitations and broken parts of the ecosystem. And it’s non transferable knowledge.
Oddly the Vatican has a high crime rate because of this
I wish someone would make a low powered cellular pager using an e-ink display, but then I realize only 3 people would use it. Pagers seem to be designed to actually wake you up if you get paged. I think the beeping hardware is different from the speaker hardware in cell phones. The vibration in phones nowadays seems weak.

The issues other people are describing with insecurity and lack of ack could also be resolved. The backend server that accepts messages could even support WCTP for backwards compatibility.
The stereotype for government officials/workers is they stay in that industry. Sure you can’t target specific roles but you can generally weaken an organization or division through such “gray zone” tactics. Again, just trying to add to the discussion, most likely this is not correct.
IE6 was far behind the curve on features, Chrome is way ahead. The situation isn't comparable at all.
Yea I get it. When several people are actively optimizing for becoming millionaires quickly, eventually being a millionaire ain’t shit.

It used to be that you had to do something extraordinary to become a millionaire. Now all you need to do is have a high paying job and invest heavily in the right stocks for a few years to get there.
To be fair, a large section of population does not see it that way, nor is the advertisement fully truthful. Usually they are advertised as pods that cost such and such for such and such cycles. And then you have offers and combos, etc to market the pods.

Somewhere in some tiny text somewhere, it says you are prohibited from using other similar pods.
In my opinion, the site you linked to has a major problem - many of the example functions have a "void" return type. This indicates that they must have side-effects (or why else call them?) and we would normally not want to write functions that have side effects.

A rule of thumb: if your function doesn't have a return type, consider that your design maybe wrong in some way.
It was and is supposed to be solvable from first principles. It wasn’t a “gotcha” or “stump the idiot” question. Like any question, it would be easier if you know it first. The point of the post is that things that people know may be hard to remember during the interview and to give them more time than you would need for the same question yourself.
Sorry, I'll make it clearer for you: the metric for being on the list is "sounds funny in English", not cultural origin. Thus there will be names from all different cultures, but for any given culture, most names won't be on the list.

Edit: according to this article,

"Many of the names were of American or European origin. But others were Asian, or African, and eventually the list — titled “Best Names Ever” — began to make people uncomfortable."

https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/27/22406673/basecamp-politic...

So really, the people practicing cultural discrimination were the ones who were ok with the list so long as only European names were in it.
Nope, pretzels are made with lye (NaOH). That's how you get the tasty brown Maillard reaction coating - boil the dough in lye water, then bake, then salt it.
I was thinking about bugs in something like Windows or Photoshop. Can you imagine Adobe giving a single hug that I paid for Illustrator?

Sounds like it could be disrupted by focusing on a subset of the market and growing up into something without the baggage?

A calcified org like that can't move fast.
Yes, but so what? Leftism is often supported by rich benefactors. This only looks like a gotcha if you believe that the sort of people who talk about oppression by the rich want to walk the walk. If you look at what they do rather than what they say there is no contradiction. Here are some examples.

The Guardian pays hundreds of writers to rail against capitalism and is funded by a massive trust fund based in the Cayman Islands created via the sale of Auto Trader and related magazines. US universities are filled with people writing articles suffused with anti-capitalist rhetoric, yet are often funded by endowments from rich capitalist benefactors. Tech firms donate heavily to the Democrats.

Marx railed against capital his entire life. He claimed to be fighting for the workers, yet he employed a servant and hardly worked in the sense the working classes would recognise. The rare times he had paying jobs, it was always journalism in which he was advocating for his views. He was instead supported by a constant stream of handouts and loans from his rich capitalist friend Engels, a factory owner, along with his own family. Engels invited him to visit his factory but Marx didn't take him up on it.

Taking money from rich capitalists whilst claiming to be struggling against them is very common to see, it's not a contradiction.

From what I've heard, their chipsets don't have the same problems as the ones they use in macs.
When a company is so large with so many mostly disconnected products/titles I’m not sure we can even start to talk about “a” homogeneous culture. I’m sure there’s a lot of cultures mixed in there, from at least decent to the most tyrannical and non-productive.
Larger repos and slow to clone. Also, difficult to get into OpenBSD develooment when you already know git but not CSV.

Fortunately there is a git mirror, so it's actually not that bad. Perhaps one day when most of the devs prefer git they will switch.
Which is why the current situation is stable and the IE6 situation got fixed. Nobody liked developing for IE6, it was a pain in the ass since it was so shit. But people are perfectly happy developing for chrome.
TLDR; Most are owned by Bob Ross, Inc., who aren't selling them currently. Also, some unknown number is in the hands of individuals who don't know they own a Bob Ross, the article is very vague about this. Not in the article, but it's actually not nearly impossible to buy one. In fact there's one on sale right now for a cool $95K at the Modern Artifacts gallery, who specializes in Bob Ross paintings.

I really, really hate this style of article. Here's a question, but before we answer it, here's 25 paragraphs of blather.
I remember this guy way back from alt.ph.uk, he was always doing quality posts back then. A brilliant fellow. Great to see another excellent write-up from him.
Literally the owner(s) of the company decide.
My mistake. I only skimmed the article since it was similar to a video I'd seen recently on the topic [0]. If they mentioned the flea markets in the video I forgot that detail.

I think, for this particular machine, the internet connection is for sending alerts for when new pods are required.

However, I still remember how scarily fast did TV manufacturers go from "the internet is for a richer experience" to "all your data are belong to us". And the worst part is no one, not even regulators flinched a muscle while this data grabbed happened before everyone's eyes.
Yessssss!

It's about damn time. Time to sit down, do some research, and write up some papers!
Centralizing state and deriving views entirely from that state. Very much in the vein of FRP and the Elm architecture.

This style of development has so many advantages e.g. time travel debugging, dead simple save/load; most of the application code can be referentially transparent, and as a result easier to reason about.

I’ve found it to be an incredibly compelling style for productivity applications as well. In the application I’m currently working on, I use this style, and I also use rollback for state synchronization between users. I have slightly different motivations, but a similar implementation to the one described.

One quibble in the section “How a game must be built”

> every single frame must be serialized

Yeah, that is one way to do it, but not a hard requirement.
I'm just waiting for Salesforce to be disrupted. It has become so large and all encompassing that it is hard to get into for the lower end. Seems like a ripe area for a low end competitor but I haven't seen anything great yet.
Why do you think it is produced forever? The mRNA quickly degrades in the body and the injected cells will stop producing the spike protein. That's why there has to be a second injection.
Cool! And you don’t even need a bin, just start layering dirt with brown and green matter. There are many books about composting if you want more guidance.

I have three piles going now: one from last year, ready to add to the garden; one started after we stopped adding to the first; and an experimental pile with ashes, human urine, and uprooted plants we don’t want propagating as much.

We put food scraps (no meat or bones, but we eat only a little meat anyway, and most animal scraps go to the dog) and paper (without a lot of ink or gloss) in a stainless steel pot and I bring that out to the in-process pile periodically, dumping it and then adding cardboard (tape and labels removed) and soil.

As I learn more I’ll adjust.
