Ask HN: Does an “update” to a comment trigger a notification in HN apps?
I'm old-school with HN. I use the original web interface. However, it just dawned on me that some people are using mobile apps these days.

I'm not familiar with how these apps work so I wanted to see if anyone could chime in to let folks who use this forum understand if there are any UX issues that can be caused by things like repetitive re-submission of comments / posts to fix minor issues like spelling and/or punctuation or even re-stating an idea in a slightly better way.

I'm regularly re-evaluating what I post here which can (unfortunately) sometimes lead to multiple re-submits.

I'm imagining a scenario where someone decides to "follow" a thread I'm commenting on (if that's a thing with HN apps) when all of a sudden they're barraged with a ton of notifications when I make these re-submissions :)
Say goodbye to gnarly shell scripts? Oh Nodejs you’re funny!
Yes? To be honest, I don’t know... despite 2 years of university physics, we sadly never got to the fun physics - relativity and particle physics
STM32 isn't the only Cortex-M microcontroller series in the world, you know. They're popular because they're pretty decent, low cost, have good dev boards and offer a wide variety of parts.

However, their software sucks (okay, so do all of the other options...), their peripherals are not as good as some of the other options (in particular I'm thinking of peripheral clock trees when I say this, among other things), and their availability is the _worst_.

Seriously, unless you're big enough that ST management actually knows your name, expect to have sudden availability issues with the STM32. This has been true for the last decade. It will remain true. (Many of these availability problems start at ST's wafer fab, so they're not shared by the other vendors.) I always advise clients who care about such things to consider other vendors.

>Flutter doesn’t make use of the standardized Qt and GTK widgets. This means that Flutter apps look out-of-place on Linux, especially on GTK-based desktops

Isn't it a bit ironic to call this out as a downside when Qt and GTK apps generally look far out of place on operating systems that aren't Linux? It's really rich to say "this software isn't welcome because it feels out of place" when the preferred alternative feels far out of place (in the same way!) for multiple orders of magnitude more desktop computer users.
That last sentence is really well-put. Science is a method. My wife is an actual scientist (biologist doing things with antibodies that I like 60% understand), and when I described A/B testing stuff on ecommerce sites to try and improve conversion rates, her response was something like "Oh, wow, so you're also doing science."

And hey, as someone who was a psych major I can say that psychology is a much more difficult science than either my wife's work or me trying to improve conversion rates, but that's just because it's dealing with things that are harder to measure than changes in conversion rates or the bindings of antibodies to targets. As long as you're correctly applying the scientific method to it, you're doing science.

For those of us running VMware

Licensing is a part. VMware moved to per core licensing a while ago and away from per socket.

The other part is some limitations with mixed architecture clusters. Things like DRS and vmotion will be gimped.

The third part is lead times.
Seriously, assuming the economy is just as dependent as any motor is with "cogs and wheels" how dependent are we on our weakest parts?
I'm a fan of tree-style tabs for firefox. Child descendants can be collapsed and you can re-arrange the hierarchy as you open/close tabs.

It's a little finicky with drag/drop but is very powerful.

Edge has vertical tabs which is space saving but lacks a hierarchy which is important to me.
I worked in a semiconductor facility as a systems engineer for a few years. I would have a hard time believing that global logistics management is fundamentally more complex than what happens in just one of the factories responsible for producing a modern HPC chip.

The material handling systems are a sight to behold. Most may not be aware, but automation rates of 95% and beyond are feasible in these facilities. Many times, a lot can be moved through the entire manufacturing process without a single human touching or even looking at it. The amount of code and engineering around the material handling system is a mind boggling expanse of complexity. When million dollar product is flying around at 30+mph overhead on robots, you tend to take your time and do it right.

Add on top of this the same time domain concerns you have in global logistics, but with far more acute consequences. It's probably ~OK if a cargo ship is 15 minutes late to port. If lots miss a special process timeout by the same duration, you are potentially looking at millions of dollars in scrap. These intervals can be as short as 30 minutes. Imagine trying to schedule high priority lots through special tools, intermixing with unrelated (but also urgent) manufacturing nodes, while also allowing for preventative and break-fix maintenance on these same tools.

By far, the most complex parts of these semiconductor manufacturing operations are the business rules for the overall manufacturing environment, followed closely by the IT infrastructure required to tie together tens of thousands of hyper-complex technology systems. You better believe this is the one time it 100% makes sense to use pub/sub messaging.

Oh and don't forget about all the HF acid, ultrapure water, EUV lasers, hyper-scale cleanrooms, exotic power distribution systems, et. al.
Seems like German priests are making facts right now, no matter what Rome tells them to do. Although I'm no big fan of the churches and religion overall, I welcome that people are leaning up against these rules, which feel totally out of place in 2021.

In protest against Rome

Munich priest blesses same-sex couples

The rainbow flag over the altar: In a Catholic church in Bavaria, several homosexual couples have received a blessing against the will of Rome - and that was probably just the beginning.

Several same-sex couples were blessed at a Catholic service in Munich on Sunday. "Heaven was open," said the Rev. Wolfgang Rothe after the somewhat historic service at St. Benedict's Catholic Church. He said he wanted to "set an example."

"My concern is to get this out of the church backyards - to where it belongs: in the middle of church life," Rothe said.

Catholic priests across Germany want to offer blessing services for all loving couples - whether gay, lesbian or straight - under the slogan #lovewins. It is an orchestrated protest against the recent categorical ban on blessing homosexual couples by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican.

Nationwide, Catholic parishes are also organizing so-called blessing ceremonies "for all lovers" on Monday (from 09:45). The action is aimed at homosexuals, among others, and demonstratively defies the position of the Vatican. About a hundred parishes participate in the services organized by priests, deacons as well as volunteers around May 10.

The blessing services are the provisional high point of a wave, which the Vatican released under many Catholics in Germany and in the meantime also under catholic priests with its No. The Vatican is not afraid of consequences. He is not afraid of consequences, says priest Rothe: "We are swimming on a wave of sympathy."
If those studies don’t separate preparation from raw performance they only suggest a self-reinforcing bias different from capability. Any correlation then is purely anecdotal.

> Violations of Boole's inequalities only happen when you do something bad with probabilities.

I sort of agree with this, if by "something bad" you mean not obeying the axioms of probabilities.

> Experimenters observe CHSH > 2 because they are likely doing something bad with probabilities.

I disagree with this completely. Note that the probability distribution I gave just now (which is an honest probability distribution) violates CHSH. It obtains a CHSH score of 4, indeed. I am not doing anything "bad" with my probabilities to obtain this score, I'm just providing a probability distribution that does not obey Bell's additional locality assumption.

I ask you specifically, what is "bad" about the distribution

P(a,b| x,y) = 1/2 if ab = x xor y and zero otherwise

which makes it obtain a CHSH score of 4?

That's why I said "evolving". Making engines better, introducing FSW when it was introduced, and so on. The F9-like boosters that could have been made around 1972 would still have been much better than the shuttle turned out to be.

What one should object to in this scenario is the idea that the conventional aerospace companies, and NASA, would have done anything like this, when their internal incentive structures pushed them away from it.
a better question is what can we do to help?
No. A good compromise is leaving business between A and B if you are C. If you produce the best textile in the world and charge only a penny, but someone would prefer to pay a pound for something awful from overseas, they should have the liberty to do so. It's none of your business how other people trade.

i might have an even more unpopular opinion: we might have too many cars.. in switzerland, we have 6.3 mio cars for 8.4 mio ppl, almost none of my friends have one, i just don't understand how it's even possible. but what's shocks me the most is their size, every swiss city is packed with huge +100k vehicles, i know we're rich, but WTF honestly: when one knows one third of the time they're used to do -1km trips. i know i know i have free work schedule, no children, and the best (and most expensive) public transportation system and can afford to commute without one... yet, soon more (huge) cars than ppl in my country.. i'm not a big patriot, i know how my country can be evil (we call that "neutrality" lol), yet i'm shocked again
I think you'd be in good company with that conclusion.
Let’s compare how much cheaper spacex is. For a 5 ton geo bird, spacex is about 2/3 the price of its competition. This however is price not cost. The best estimate for starlink is that SpaceX’s cost per satellite is about 500 thousand. This compares to oneweb’s 2 million per sat, for says that weigh half as much.
Starship could have a cost (not a price) that is very low indeed.
The slippery slope argument is only a fallacy when slipping down the slope doesn't actually happen (or can't possibly follow from the described beginning state). Some slippery slopes do actually exist. For example, if you put your weight over the line, you can literally slip down a slippery slope.

On the subject of categories, they cease to be useful when the contents of the categories can no longer tell you anything about the category itself. The further you get down this axis, the less useful the category is. So any dilution of the strength of a category by overly broad inclusion should be scrutinized.
LOL, yea, like surveillance satellites make photography redundant.
Does your regex assumes that "-->" must be prefixed by a space? This is not the case in XML. (Also the string "--" must not occur inside a comment, so the last clause is not necessary.)
It depends. The US government has a double taxation agreement and also a social security agreement with Italy.

The US government does not have these agreements in Croatia (which is also part of the European Union), for example, which means that if you are a dual US|EU citizen (such as Croatian, like me) living in Croatia, you get double taxed on all of your income. You still get to live like a king or a queen though, working for a US based company as a contractor being paid US income in dollars, as Croatia is cheap and very nice.

US tax law is complicated. Also, if you are hired as a contractor by your US based employer then there are different rules than if you are a full time US citizen worker working outside the United States. (By the way, your US based employer has to know where you are domiciled when you are working for them. It is a legal requirement and they can get reamed by the IRS! It is not just about you!)

There is also the Foreign Earned Income Tax Exclusion and the Foreign Tax Credit, one of which typically you must elect.

This isn't the only impressive bit of code Paul Dunn has, er, done.

He also wrote absolutely my favourite tool for writing ZX BASIC programs, BASin.

https://arda.kisafilm.org/blog/?page_id=848&lang=en

It gives you a version of the Sinclair editor in a resizable desktop window, so you can use a PC keyboard, cut/paste etc. inside a modified version of the Sinclair interpreter -- then run the resultant code in a separate emulator window in the same app. It's an IDE for Spectrum BASIC.

And it's good, clean code, too, because it works flawlessly under WINE on Linux.

And the well-regarded ZX Spin emulator, also for Windows:

Top 2-3% of IQ seems very high... Remember everyone with IQ above 100 is above average and like you said in your other post, it is for the most part a threshold/satisfying criteria.
Interesting to see what happened after the 2011 - 2017 timeframe the study looked at:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/nuclear-renewables-electr...

Coal sucks, and they probably could have got rid of it faster, but they still seem on a good path and the story is similar worldwide.

edit: even in the 2011-2017 timeframe they added more renewables than nuclear lost, so it seems odd that emissions would spike, unless there was either a big shift in the coal/gas/import mix, or just a general rise in demand.
Strange enough it's mainly Outlook that seems crazy memory hungry. Usually it's using about 3GB by itself alone.

But you buy a computer for more than just today.

Sequence questions in IQ tests would provide enough information to have provable answer. Most of these questions are intentionally easy to measure the speed of getting an answer.

Very true. In the end science is simply about empirical observation of reality, measurement, and continual readjustment of beliefs to match those observations. Whether the subject domain can be more or less exactly measured is neither here nor there.
I'm not talking about beginning programmers, I'm talking about people who are new to your language community. You can still just install and use ocamlc/ocamlopt, or rustc, or ghc, but the bar has been raised. People picking up a new language today for production use expect it to have a cohesive story for builds, packaging, tooling, and testing out of the box.

>I wonder who is benefiting this sillo-ing, but I doubt that's the beginners.

Everyone benefits from the better tooling we have now. The siloing is a problem that still has not seen a satisfactory solution. Regression in user experience is not acceptable.
In my personal experience, the class syntax specifically gets used very infrequently. Proper prototypal inheritance was more common “back in the day” but my own preference and I _think_ what a lot of others are leaning towards these days is composition.

FWIW, I hadn't realized you were the one that started the whole thread. By "initial comment" I meant the first comment I responded to - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27090800 .

You've got a good point about general fear and trust breakdown with your top level comment (although not your inference from someone wearing a mask alone outside, there are many good reasons for that such as the possibility of coming up on someone, not wanting to fiddle with it while going between places you need it, etc.)

Nuke is clearly safer than any fossil fuel source by a *wide* margin. By some arguments utility-scale solar is safer than nuke--but only if by some miracle you can get virtually all your power from solar. We don't have the storage technology for that and if you have to run the natural gas plant when the sun doesn't shine you put nuke way in the lead for safety.

Would be really interested to see a write-up of those poisoning variants. Presuming cold backups are tamperproof, it seems to me poisoning really only make sense when fresh data is significantly more valuable than historical (pre infection) data? If you had a hypothetically secure recovery testing procedure, then it should pick up the data is corrupted right? In which case you could tune the frequency of when you run it to reduce the amount of potential fresh data loss.
Well the purely mathematical part is... just mathematics. Economics begins when you claim that certain mathematical systems are an accurate model of economic behaviour of humans.
One thing I noticed here in California is that the societal behavior followed its own curve independent of the lockdowns. Ie. People locked down before lockdown was issued by government. When government lifted the lockdown people remained at home. When people started going out and cases went up people started staying at home again, then the lockdown came. So the lockdown itself had no impact although the removal of the lockdown would not have helped Most of the businesses who lost their customers.
