That's very interesting, I've limited exposure to programming in the natural sciences so I've only really experienced the collective noun usage.

I had thought "a code" and then "codes" may have come down from the punch card era of programming where as you said it would be more of single routine for a specific computation which I guess then would have filtered down into scientific computing as programming evolved through fortran and others and now it seems it's all merging back together.
When filesystem integrity matters, the filesystem matters more than the OS.

While I mostly use Linux these days, for file servers it must be ZFS, which means whichever OS has first-class support for ZFS. I'm still on Illumos but perhaps will move to FreeBSD at some point.
If C# didn't exist, we would certainly be a Java shop. Not only because of the ecosystem & tooling, but also because it is a language that has historically proven its ability to model incredibly complex business domains as well as support mission critical workloads without falling over on itself.
There were also tons of providers who trusted Linux containers for VPS hosting.
As I stated in my comment it was based on recent conversations with business owners in my area, so I am the source.

I find it offensive and sad that you implied I called someone lazy, I didn't. I stated that competing with free money is challenging and is what is making it hard to find employees. Why work for $20/hr when you are getting unemployment benefits that nears $14?
Your comment was reddit-level bait. This comment is also reddit-level bait.

Enjoy your day.
Yeah, I’m paid to shill on HN by Big Beef.

“Reams of evidence” for an extremely weak effect more than counterbalanced by nutritional benefits.
Are these the mean forecast based on some ARMA model? Why not include some type of confidence interval also? This something I would want to know as a user.
It would seem that the world of data engineering is largely dominated by Java.
Because it wouldn't be economical, but at this point - with multi-trillion dollar deficits and 30% of working age people already on BNI - it doesn't look like anyone in the US gives a damn.

Elsewhere it won't happen because such blatant waste just isn't possible. The will is there, but most can't print currency and issue debt like the US does.
Not a Facebook user, but I definitely appreciate services providing paid ad-free versions of their services.

YouTube premium comes to mind. Sure, Google is still tracking me as best they can, but at least I don't have to deal with the normal ads I'd see otherwise. Would love to have this for other sites, like Twitter.

I mean, I'm not _excited_ to pay these companies money, but there is a price I'd pay to not see ads on them.

Looks very similar to Product Hunt's design.
To your point, the flip side as a consumer of academic white papers, is where can I go to get everything in an individual hobbyist subscription pricing?

I want one subscription for all of gate-kept STEM (or maybe one each for tech, for engineering and math, and one for science and medicine), then be able to just link and read as though using Zotero, Mendeley, or Papers but with access to all the things.

As a corporation, journal subscriptions are nominal relative to, say, Gartner. For academics, you're covered in budgets. But for oneself as an individual, I cannot find a reasonable source.
If this is a personal project and if you are not very JS fluent, you can absolutely stay away from all the SPA bruhaha. Rails is still very well alive and kicking, same thing going on for Django, Symphony and so on.

I say "if this is a personal project" because in the case of a professional engagement there are possibly other considerations.

That maybe the case for that person but when people simply aren't even applying to jobs that is something else.
If it's a global, it's very likely allocated on the heap.

The question of "what is the representation of the object on the heap?" then open.

However, the "this is global" complicates it.

This isn't a question for Java to answer. You would need to dig into the specifics of the particular VM that you are using and how it allocates such a structure along with what optimizations it has available.
A long winded article that really never justifies its headline.

Kotlin will soon be generating records in its back end, thereby gaining all the advantages that it's allegedly not getting today.
Yeah, only 100 samples right now since the monte carlo depends on RAND() and that's very expensive for google sheets. I'll add the differential. Thanks for taking a look.
Because it's not a stock gcc. It's specially modified to do things quite differently on SPARC. If it was a case of "just" upgrading we would have done it long ago.

As one of approximately 2 people who actually build illumos on SPARC, I can testify that the whole thing is enough of a maintenance burden that it's causing major problems.

(And I'll just fork a copy and use that; it's not as though the SPARC ecosystem is a moving target.)
I hate Facebook with a passion and don’t have an account anymore.

That said, my wife has sold a lot of stuff to local folks that would have been thrown out. (Baby stuff, sports gear, etc) Shipping is too expensive and you don’t get the creepy scams that you find on craiglist.
This is pretty good!
One thing I wasn't able to trigger (or understand) was the "hover me" part from the "Interact with the content" section.
Exactly. Nobody wants to blindly serve their ads to an anonymous "Paying Customer"
Neat idea. I think our use of emojis/icons is just going to continue to increase. Words on a UI can be cluttering. And like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Good luck!
Kind of ironic that 3 year old chrome books cost less and still get updates.
Depends on the stack you are sitting on or familiar with. Plenty of ways to still create a server side rendered site.

PHP has been around for quite the long time and is a quick and easy way to do it if you are familiar (or even if you aren't usually). Sure people shit on PHP all the time, but it can be a quick way to do it. Node also has template systems for server side. .NET & Python too.
IBM mainframes are big endian essentially because punch cards are big endian.

(Punch cards are big endian because the number 123 is punched as "123". So that's the order a decimal number will be stored in memory. The System/360 mainframes (1964) had a lot of support for decimal numbers and it would be kind of bizarre to store decimal numbers big-endian and binary numbers little-endian so everything was big endian. IBM's current mainframes are compatible with S/360.

On the other hand, in a serial computer, you operate on one bit at a time, so you need to start with the smallest bit for arithmetic. The Intel 8008 was a copy of a serial TTL computer, the Datapoint 2200, so it was little-endian. x86 is based on the 8008, so it kept the little-endian architecture.)
"The U.S. government has reason to believe that several researchers inside the WIV became sick in autumn 2019, before the first identified case of the outbreak, with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses."

US government had many perverse reasons to believe things that turned out to be false.

I'm putting exactly zero trust in what US government says about what happens or happened in other countries especially those deemed by them as adversarial.

And even if such thing happened it's way more probable that it was just common seasonal illness.

Certainly made me happy about my wife and mother using iPhones. Maybe they'll start to listen to me :)

That said, I think the downside is still the walled garden. If Apple F/OSS their OS and let people modify it, and load applications outside the app store, I'd consider changing.

Until then, Lineage without Google apps is still a nicer experience than the walled gardens. For example, the Nexus 6 is still maintained (2014). It even recently got updated to 18.1 which is Android 11! Amazing.

Edit: Wow the Note3 and the LG G2 are still supported, too! They're from September 2013!
I would actually consider using Facebook if I could pay for it and not be tracked or datamined. There is a let a legit use case for sharing photos, personal stories, and discussing news and information with a curated list of your friends and family.
A simpler and safer future – without passwords
Security requirements (and awareness) have increased over the years, have they not?
And needless to say it became a billion dollar business, with a great product.
What is even more sorry is if you had bought a 100 dollar phone you could have bought a new phone every year for 10 years and had better protection. Which is totally wasteful.
> Your first link is an issue that was posted over 10 years ago and was long resolved in other area

this issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/217 is proof that it hasn't been resolved at all. Just reading GNOME maintainer's entitled comments ("If individual applications rely on non-standard behavior from compositors, those applications should get fixed. ", "I mean Qt should use GTK to draw decoration.") make my blood boil
It's wild that their demo is a real customer

>This is a read-only view of real growth data from a Saascast customer — don't worry; they don't mind sharing it with you!

I wonder if it'd be easy to tell based on the payment amounts and whatnot who the customer is!
I understood what the article was saying very well, I just don't agree with it.

The same argument could have made without vaccinations as well. Why close bars, if you could just tell people to stay at home? The people who choose to be careless have informed consent.

The reason is that often people don't make the smartest decisions and don't consider the consequences of their actions. For example, a parent might not care to get vaccinated, but if they get sick and die it's their kids who suffer.

So I think we should try to do everything we can to prevent people from getting COVID. We should try to convince even the most careless people to get vaccinated, because it's not just them, but also their dependents who are affected.
Restrict structural types to tuples only.
I think I got my marbles mixed up. Unfortunately it’s well past the time to make a correction.
You can use something like Blokada or AdGuard. There are others as well. I believe they all mostly work one of 2 ways:

1. Intercept DNS requests to filter out requests to certain domains

2. Provide an ad and tracking blocking VPN service.

Both of these approaches can work device-wide and do not require root access to your device.

Blokada: https://blokada.org/
AdGuard: https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html

BTW I'm listing these apps as examples but I don't know them well enough to specifically recommend either of them.
>This is about the needs of users and developers.

I know, I'm saying that app developers and users want CSD in some form eventually. I've seen this trend everywhere. You may not want them on your system and you're entitled to that opinion, but some app developers do want them.

>That's the point I'm trying to drive in here. GNOME devs feel like they can just break existing behaviors and ecosystems if they feel like it

I don't know what you mean, this feature was never supported in GNOME's Wayland session. It never had that existing behavior, the decorations were a private KDE extension that was picked up by mir and wlroots and then much later put into wayland-protocols. It doesn't make sense for KDE to implement a feature and then declare GNOME to be broken because some others copied that feature but GNOME didn't.

>meanwhile a single person has done a display server, that is not just wayland and xorg compatible, it's also much more flexible and more powerful than wayland ever is going to be

I personally like Arcan but according to the developer it's not trying to solve all the same problems as Wayland or X11 even though it may be compatible with some apps. I don't believe GNOME and KDE are going to rewrite their window manager in Lua for example.

>What I mean by typechecking is that with typical linkage + header scenario you get compile error if API changed (this won't prevent ABI breakage however). With dlopen/dlsym, if you have typo in your function pointer declarations, that can be hard to debug bug. Sure this can be avoided to make sure you generate such pointers from upstream headers and keep them up-to-date.

The API and ABIs for those libraries are stable across major versions, they guarantee that. All Linux distros would see major breakage if they didn't, since they don't necessarily recompile the applications along with library upgrades.
I like this argument and would like to strengthen it in sligthly diffent dimension...

Every time I hear/read a "net offset" justification like in the greatgrandparent comment my brain only hears

I'm gonna sell heroin/meth/crack to fund a rehab clinic;
AND
if more persons are rehabbed than addicted
then the whole endeavour is a good thing;
AND
I am a good person; call me "one of the good ones.

The point of the analogy is to share the perspective that "net offsetting" isn't automatically a good thing. Many times the fundamental nature of the initial thing to be offset, in this case advertising,
must be given primacy over anything else.

Some see the nature of advertising as neutral, some even see it as good, some see it it as evil.
I see it as too impractical to wield as intended; rare-times good, some-times neutral and most-times bad.

Although we can measure air water and noise pollutions, we still have wild disagreements over how much to allow. Given that we suck at measuring the mental pollution produced by advertising-based business models, it is natural that disagreement is even greater over mental pollution.

Where is the startup that shows folks the pollution-free mental spaces that they didn't know they wanted_needed, but that they will never let-go once experienced. Sadly, most minds are limited to imagining the same sad choices jefftk listed. I for one choose to believe that people exist who see how to "fund the web" sans advertising. To them I leave this future message: "Hurry up dammit. We need you. The jefftk's of this world are making the most ungodly of big messes."
> The amount of food created to feed cattle is staggering

Cattle are mostly fed off grazable plants in agricultural dead zones and byproducts of human ag production. The marginal ecological impact of feeding cows on top of humans is not that significant.

You seem to be operating under this idea that concentration of resources like manure is worse than having the same amount over a larger area. Can you explain your thought process there?
What’s not hackable?

From the schools I’m familiar with, there is a minimum number of credits you need to fulfill at that uni. That’s unavoidable.

Sometimes you can test out of courses; other times you can skip pre-reqs by getting the instructor’s permission to enroll.

I’ve finished my last 60 credits (well 4 credits remain this summer term) of a statistics degree at a Canadian uni by attending midterms and finals. I only attended 4 credits worth of classes because 1/3rd of the grade in one 3 credit class was due to in class participation. The 1 credit class was 2/3rds in class participation. The rest, I didn’t go to a single lecture.

I did that part-time while working full-time.

Obviously there are some (many) disadvantages, but I took courses with profs that stuck close to a textbook for the course and I took courses without lab components. 1 course is a humanities course this summer and the remaining courses were stats, math, or comp sci.

I’m not a hacker, so maybe it’s not hackable in the sense you mean.
I have never worked at Amazon, but I have heard enough horrible things from people that used to work there that make me believe not everybody shares your opinion. In fact, those other people went out of their way to convince me not to take a job there.

I am glad you seem to enjoy working at Amazon, or at least have a respect for the culture. I've never been there so I can't comment on it, but I've heard lots of horrible things about the culture there. And lately the complaints have been shifting towards Amazon thinking more and more about short-term profits instead of the big picture.

All I can say is not everybody agrees with you.
Unfortunately it seems like they make a lot more money per US user than that now:

I noted four separate questions. You incorrectly assumed my position on the first and are now arguing with an opponent you imagined into existence.

Read past the "a)" because those are way more important and may be discoverable.
Surely if you have some compelling rebuttal you can find an english source.

"Typically" this means you can never be sure, which is a problem.
For this specific example I'm confused why the output paths changed. Remote data fetches are already content addressed. That is why you need to provide the hash when you fetch them.

This is still a problem in general though as small unimportant changes can cause rebuilds.
As a local business owner, at what point would you consider raising the hourly wages? I think it's a tough price-discovery exercise for business owners because you don't necessarily have workers proactively giving you their asking price; you're having to place bids and then wait N days to figure out whether the bid was sufficient (or not).

Then there's also the decision of whether to pass those costs downstream to your customers.
It isn't fair to claim they were built with (1) no oversight, (2) hastily, and (3) out of plain view when you haven't even looked into how it works. AFAIK none of the implementations use location data.
Google just announced today that they're rolling out their own version of this in 2022.
> The server contained a treasure trove of direct messages between Amazon vendors and customers willing to provide fake reviews in exchange for free products. In total, 13,124,962 of these records (or 7 GB of data) have been exposed in the breach, potentially implicating more than 200,000 people in unethical activities.

This information should be made public.

I'd love a browser plug-in which displays a warning when viewing a product from a vendor in this database, that the vendor has been known to pay for reviews, and likewise if viewing a review by someone in this database, a warning that the reviewer is a shill.
I’d pay $12 a year for a Facebook free internet.

If you are seriously considering paying for the poison that is Facebook, might I recommend you delete your Facebook account instead, and give your money to someone that needs it?
I wonder if it's at all related to the reasoning in this post about writing a bump allocator.

JS as the utility knife? No thanks, I'll write my quick scripts in a language with an actual useful standard library.

That would be Ruby for me, but I also accept Python and maybe dozens of others.
I think the benefit of a standardized diagnostic connector (and the protocols that come with it) are well worth a few more grams.

Off-the-shelf data logging and diagnostic software is useful.
Ah the joy publishing with a poor-quality journal: the reviewers don't care or no nothing about the field, bad research gets rubberstamped, the authors gets to claim it was published, and the journal can just blame the reviewers.
Raising the cost of labor means less employment. This is really unassailable and as much as people desire it to not be true, it is. It may not show up as a straight line like an Econ 101 graph, but it's 100% there. It gets confirmed over and over again.

No, I'm not going to provide sources on this. They are everywhere.

Sure there are some places paying less because they have jobs and a choice of workers. Artificially raising the pay will yield the same number of jobs. This isn't true across the entirety of the US labor market.
Hahahaha the walled garden sucks so hard.
Really? That's awesome thanks!
It makes for easier searching in small code bases with stuff like grep instead of needing full language server / ide support.
It's also not easy to quickly identify it's a link, as the word highlight is the same as the previous examples.

Maybe adding an underlines or something to make it slightly different might help with that.
Your choice to be ignorant about the contact tracing frameworks is your own, but please stop spreading misinformation: https://www.google.com/covid19/exposurenotifications/#exposu...

There were many locations who built their own apps that did not follow this privacy model, or used it incorrectly, but for most cases "your location data being put into some database" is not accurate.
"would have to be made through the app store platform" not necessarily. Netflix operates through the app store and doesn't sell subscriptions on the App Store as a big FU to the 30% gouge...

Could Facebook make it happen and profitable in a way to get around Apples rules? I think so... I think Apple would change the rules shortly after though...
When a bird sings to attract a mating partner, competing against other birds, does it not sing for aesthetics?

Also, couldn’t harmonics be used to improve decoding in noisy environments? Spreading the signal over a wide band is not unheard of in man-made electromagnetic communication either.
I found your unsubstantiated claim that "people aren't even applying to these great fucking job opportunities" laughable.

EDIT: Apologies, that was a lazy comment. What I meant to say was "I found your comment to be laughable at best and ill-willed at worst."

If you are still into having a discussion with me, even though I offended you, can we make it revolve around the concept of "socialism" and the reasons behind many US citizens being afraid that going down the path of looking out for each other will lead to the US becoming The Soviet Union?
Nice tools. The ads are a little intrusive, though. Is that your only way of monetizing?
Here's one example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.alohasafe....

No idea if it's using the official API or what.

I honestly just don't believe that it can work well enough in some places. Especially here in Hawaii where gatherings are on a beach and people leave their cellphones in their car or backpacks or whatever. I was even recently at a camp where people were sharing a blunt and there wasn't a single phone in sight cause it was out of signal range. Could have easily been a super spreader event and the tech solution would have failed.
Ok, I've changed it from "WinBox: Modern window manager for the web" to make that clearer. We usually take the word "modern" out of titles so I've done that too.
