> seem to treat their agoraphobia with the same fervor and source of moral purity as a religion

Oh yea, I'm gay and it clicked to me recently that the gay clubs I go to are basically just monasteries now. It used to be that gay people were known for unabashedly saying what couldn't be said (the profane) - it's now the complete opposite, gay people largely are enumerating an endless list of what's considered profane. Constant pearl-clutching, tip-toeing, hushed gossip, forced repentance and excommunication.

It's hard not to see the illiberal attitudes on the left (which at least in recent history were concentrated on the right, a consequence of their rigid sense of morality and tradition) as nothing more than rule-book fanatics evangelizing and prescribing a sacred morality.

John McWhorter calls these people The Elect, and I think correctly identified that this is fundamentally a religion. It spans all sorts of topics, but maintains the same character, for instance, in something like anti-racism:

Short answer: yes. I don't think they intend to support U2F hardware that lends itself to automation. I doubt any reputable manufacturer even makes these, since it defeats the purpose to begin with.
Section 17.1 says "This program pops up a window which stays there until we close it" but I don't see any program listing or any link to a program listing.

Yup, and I don't want to go back to resorting to hacks to piles of hacks to support them all. It's good that most modern browsers just work for the most part these days.

I am working on a few different apps right now and none of them are targeting IE. It's a huge time suck and just not worth doing at the expensive of improving other parts of the application.

Just wondering, why is CPython a lot slower than JS? It seems to me that both languages are interpreted and comes with some reflection functionalities (like modifying object methods), but JS seems a lot faster in most of the benchmarks in https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

> Chrome? GitHub? NGINX? Do any of these use DDD?

These are not business applications, they are general purpose software. A business application is something made to model a business process or an entire business, such as an ERP. DDD is perfect for this.
My SO had a similar experience -- she had a bad flu a couple years ago and ever since has had a really rough time with certain foods. She's had tests for H. Pylori and all the other usual suspects (all negative). She's tried going gluten-free and FODMAP diet and hasn't been able to identify any consistent pattern.
On my college campus there was an administrative building that the students rarely went into, and it contained a bathroom that I frequented. It was a private bathroom (one occupant at a time), contained paper towels (the public bathrooms had air dryers), it was clean, and it was not in a remote area of campus.

I can't say I'm looking forward to using my office's bathrooms.

No, you should probably pull the chute.

Yes you're gliding right now, but whilst that's better than just falling uncontrolled from the sky it's no guarantee you'll walk away.

Now if you're gliding... right towards a perfectly nice runway you were already lined up on then CAPS is likely the wrong call, not least because you may already be too low. But if you're just in the middle of nowhere then CAPS is much safer than hoping that's just a big empty grassy meadow you see ahead and doesn't have a thin, wheel-snagging ditch, or a barbed wire fence, or a dozen other obstacles that you wouldn't see until it's too late.

Even for a water landing, if you have never practised there are a lot of ways for putting a conventional plane down in the water to go badly, including flipping or breaking up the plane, whereas CAPS should just plonk you in the water, relatively gently, right side up, not great news, but very survivable.
I agree; this looks like a great service. I don't understand the objections. Thanks @ollymeakings!

Wow, the 'can opener' effect is intense. Insane that the plane held together, so much structural loss.

Reminds me of the Aloha Flight 243. My mom's cousin was the pilot and hearing his first hand account was pretty crazy. Fun fact, he got to be an extra in the made for TV movie of the event.

I don't think this is good for Tesla, not because of BTC, or the crypto market, but because of their customers, potential customers and fans.

In the end it just looks like a poorly thought idea, that in consequence made some people buy into that idea (some literally).

Don't get me wrong, everyone should be responsible for themselves, and Tesla can do what ever they want to, but it does make you wonder: what kind of commitments will Tesla suddenly back from? Was this just a gag? Because it didn't look like so, in fact it sounded quite serious and seemed like a stance?

Vision and mission aside, turning Tesla into a company that has erratic behavior doesn't inspire confidence to the consumer... one thing it's missing tight deadlines, other thing is product flaws due to novelty, but this is just an apparent act of randomness that they're trying to justify with something.
You said that there would be no deaths if everyone got a Peloton. That's one of the most out-of-touch COVID opinion I've ever heard. I really don't get your point.

Microsoft is offering IE11 extended support until at least 2025, so I wouldn't bet on that.
Yes. A lot of 'innovation' in marketing is just changing things to eliminate design decisions which are associated with scamminess and coming up with new ones which aren't yet overused by the worst bottom-feeders and so seem 'fresh'.
They ran to the nearest forest to escape the pending avalanche. It probably wasn't quite so cold at the moment they started to flee, but then the wind kicked up and the temperature dropped precipitously.

There isn't really anything in the language that prevents use-after-free, partially because allocation isn't even part of the language and exists entirely in userland code. However, IIRC the standard library does include an allocator that tries to detect use-after-free.

I have the same issue -- Apple developer documentation, at least what you find on Google, is really awful. Sometimes I even have to watch youtube videos of random developers to figure out how objects' protocols are supposed to work. Developing for Apple is really a huge pain unless you're immersed in that environment.
No, it should be treated as software coming from any other country.

At this point it’s just silly to brand your security product as Swiss made in hopes of looking more legit. In a sense I see it negative, just like some companies brand their products with buzzwords such as AI and blockchain for no good reason other then to look cool. Makes me suspicious.
I think mostly because Google has put a massive amount money and effort into making V8 faster.

Ye the waiting to pay is especially tideous since it is pointless. It is ofent a problem of understaffed though. With McDonald's type system you can see the queue and go somewhere else so it wins there too.

Vapiano is a German chain that is quite nice and do over the desk orders. They hand out beeper for pizzas which is good for longer wait meals.

Good questions!

1) As I mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27142502 there is support for parallelism and concurrency.

Giving an example of where these might be useful in a webservice.

The addition of shared-memory parallelism is beneficial where you might have a great deal of shared state that needs to be used to service requests. An in-memory cache is a good example - with a processed-based approach managing read/writes and avoiding significant overhead from marshalling the data is difficult.

Concurrency via effects at a minimum can make writing network-based services much more pleasant (and debuggable!). See the examples in https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00250 where programs can be written in a direct-style similar to blocking IO but using effects are transformed to use asynchronous interfaces. There's work going on in the project at the moment to build fast cross-platform IO implementations that sit atop of uring/gcd/iocp.

3) This is a good question and one we're still working on. I think one of the lead developers KC has a few good ideas about instrumentation we can do to enable detecting races to global state. It's certainly going to be an issue for people porting large codebases.

4) This is the place to start: https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/multicore-opam#install-mu... .
I love Interstellar despite some of the liberties it takes. For me the number one thing Interstellar did so well was communicate clearly that the universe does not care about us.

We are infinitesimally small and insignificant. I felt the scale of space and the unforgiving progress of time, as characters dealt with the emotional impact of time dilation on them, their colleagues, and family. And we, as viewers, get to experience it as we see minutes pass from our POV only to return to Endurance and realize Romilly has aged over 20 years in orbit, all alone; and Cooper’s kids have suddenly grown up without us noticing.

And as others have noted about the film before, it also relates to the phenomena we experience as we age and our perception of time accelerates. If you’re a parent, you feel yourself slipping farther and faster away from your children with each passing year. Chances are if you watched Interstellar as a parent, you felt the film deeply on another level.
The useful load of a PA-32 is about 1500 lbs, so yes, you can put 7 180-lb adults in it and still have a little margin. What you cannot do is carry 7 adults plus their bags plus full fuel. Even without bags, you could not go very far with a full plane.

Some planes have more margin: the Cessna 182 for example is a four-seater and can carry full fuel plus 800 lbs, so you really can load it up with four people plus bags and still go somewhere.

But all planes will be close to their operating limits when fully loaded. Even a jetliner will typically be very close to its operating limits on takeoff and pilots have to pay very close attention to this. If you think about it, this has to be the case. If it weren't, the plane would have been over-designed and much more expensive than it has to be, and so it would lose to the competition.
Good question, but then it begs the question that shouldn't we be doing a better job of advocating against the use of these chemicals?

I thought web 2.0 was more about communication flow, i.e rather than a bunch of people publishing a website for others to consume we have more of a two way communication (i.e social media). There was a bunch of tech that enabled it and came along at the same time and a very clear style that accompanied it though.

This is not related at all to what happened in the movie.

We're not talking about experimenting on people (thus causing accidents/deaths/etc) but about withholding new knowledge.
I guess you have to be careful not to return inside of these :)
"Much" may even be an understatement here; according to the WSJ article,

> sales of regulatory credits to other auto makers to help them meet emissions mandates, which carry a 100% profit margin, reached $518 million. That accounts for nearly 100% of Tesla’s $533 million in pretax income

it sounds like "almost all" would be a reasonable description.

X1 Carbon Gen 9: Lenovo has to be careful with the ThinkPad keyboard
I'll respectively disagree that it provides a list of medicines. It provides a list of 'Chemical agents', their ideal form and dose. My point is the over generalisation of these lists. Behind each chemical is an actual product that has actually been licensed to use in a specific jurisdiction and the indications for which it is licensed.
This gap between the general and the 'actual' is one of the main reasons medicines health data is so difficult to share and these ambiguities can be dangerous.
To your point that it does not fit my purpose - I agree. But what purpose does this list serve? Who is the 'user' of such a general list?
Basically. I work in the B2B online education space and many large businesses use IE11 on hardware that supports other browsers just fine. Part of it is that they use decades-old intranets that only support IE officially so they were stuck. We noticed since around early pre-pandemic 2020 (and accelerated by the pandemic), that IE users are becoming Chrome and Chromium Edge users. Our pet theory is that the Microsoft EoL pushed IT departments to just make the jump and then WFH pushed many to new hardware where they might have a choice. Also our product is far worse in IE as Trident's JS Engine truly is horrific and our whole site is much faster in Chrome. We saw IE use drop to under 10% now from ~35% around two and a half years ago.

It really is amazing. He's helping people improve landing pages.

It's not how to generate spam, robocalls, improve your targeted facebook ads or some other form of active marketing - it's about making your passive marketing message more effective.

I dunno why everyone assumes all marketing is bad. Without marketing how the heck would you ever learn about or even find potentially useful products? As with all things moderation is key and this guy is focusing on the most neutral kind of marketing out there!
But it doesn’t fit in a pocket; i.e. still fuzzy on the benefits… guess I’ll have to rent one to find out :)
It is not the computer that requires ie11 it awful software like remedy or legacy crystal reports or some professional healthcare vendor product.
This seems like a really good idea to me. I haven't used Tailwind extensively, but in general I prefer to avoid preprocessors because I'm going to get exposed to the output in the browser when I go to debug it.

I'm sure CSS variables are less capable than Tailwind, but they seem to solve a huge chunk of the problem with a far, far lower overhead (i.e. not invoking an extra build step). Am I missing something?
This has been a source of much amusement for my wife. If I'm very intentional I can force a distinction between 'pin' and 'pen' but it's not at all natural.

I found this really interesting:
The most important thing to notice about the pin-pen merger is that it only happens before nasals. This means that "pit" and "pet" are unaffected by the merger. Only "n" and "m" are really affected, since there are not many words ending in "eng".
IE11 is the last IE; not sure if people realize that this actually means "We're dropping support for Internet Explorer" and not just a single version.
Now people write for chrome, and then spend hours hacking them to support web standards.
We don't have a proper design document (but I certainly think we should have one). I will try to offer a high level summary:

At the heart of Typesense is a `token => documents` inverted index backed by an Adapative Radix Tree (https://db.in.tum.de/~leis/papers/ART.pdf), which is a memory-efficient implementation of the Trie data structure. ART allows us to do fast fuzzy searches on a query.

All indices are stored in-memory, while the documents are stored on disk on RocksDB. All underlying data structures were carefully designed, benchmarked and optimized to exploit cache locality and utilize all cores efficiently.

I'm currently building a website that uses Vue 3 in parts, as well as other features that don't work (well) in IE11 such as CSS Grid.

Would you recommend only displaying an error screen for any users who try to view the site using Internet Explorer or another old browser? Or should I let those browsers try to display what they can, and maybe also a warning message?
Bingo, just commented, this is exactly what happens.
It's not risky, when your CEO can tweet a few words and make its value move +/- 10% in a day.
IE11 is supposedly at 1% market share. However, Vue market share is 0.77% of all websites (which is actually huge) Therefore, even for those 1% users of IE11, that's still like 1 of the hundred pages they'll visit in a day. And because so many other frameworks already killed IE11, it's not like those 1% users are going to complain too much more than they would already be, oh shit now 2 of the 100 pages I visit per day are blank!
Fn + home row isn't bad.
I wonder if Spearmint will run on the Rhino JS engine?
That would depend on the language and the libraries.

You could roll your own 'safe' memory pool in C such that use-after-free doesn't produce undefined behaviour. You'd still have a bug, but it wouldn't have to invoke UB at the level of the C programming language.
