What the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Destroyed
As I remember it, the name "rustacean" came first, and then Karen created Ferris in response. I could be wrong though, my memory is poor, and I don't have a citation either way.

One thing about this time was that some folks wanted "Rustafarian" but there were good arguments to not do that, and people moved away from it.
I could be wrong, but isnt the ElasticSearch API implemented like this?
The record separator ship sailed long ago. The advantage of newline is that it’s easy to use with a bunch of standard tools like less/head/tail/your text editor.

Besides, you do still need to deal with the situation where the character shows up in your data; using an uncommon codepoint just makes it much easier to ignore until it blows up in your face.
Those look interesting. If I understand them right they've for mailinglist-based dev where you email patches around?

I prefer a model where you use a forge for collaboration, and don't rewrite shared history. However, you use rebase extensively locally.

Right now I use magit with fixup. It's just more keystrokes. I want to be able to highlight a change to the workdir, hit a key and select a local commit (right now it's highlight, hit the fixup shortcut, select the commit, open a rebase at the appropriate early commit, complete the rebase). I also want to be able to partially stage a newly created file (right now it's cut and paste part of it into a temp file)

I just discovered today that intellij has the concept of named changesets (i.e multiple staging areas, and you select 1+ to commit). I like it, but I don't think you can check them out and they don't work with external git commands. My temp commits would just be regular commits prefixes with "wip: "
I think you can measure what a project cares about by the priorities they give to different pieces of work.

Empirically, since 1.0 the project as a whole has prioritised adding new features over documenting (and agreeing the intended behaviour of) existing ones.

In early 2019, the roadmap said the language team would make updating the reference a priority that year. But as far as I can tell nothing happened, and it hasn't appeared on the roadmap since then.

That’s simply false. They don’t block stories that doxx people’s private addresses, their policies are enforced unequally and only when it suites their own political agenda, whatever that may be.

Pretending they’re being fair, when you know they’re not is gaslighting.

You may think it’s ok for them to apply their policies unequally, and dishonestly; that’s another discussion, but please don’t act like what they’re doing is fair or honest.

The biggest example of them not blocking doxxing was the implicit help in spreading the Parlar hacked data. I know of fb devs who participated in spreading it.

It can also be very easily argued that the leader of the BLM movement is a public figure and sharing her home address is not doxxing. And I’m sure that argument has been used to allow sharing private info of similar public figures who Facebook’s progressive devs didn’t care for.
Yes, while one could make the case that I should purchase and plug one more thing into my wall. Would it be impossible to place a small amount of memory on the board that remembers alarm settings?

> My understanding from talking to industrial engineers is that American manufacturing is quite competitive when the product is consistent.

When the product is consistent, you can get competitive pretty much everywhere. That's a luxury you will never have unless you are already a big MNC.

On paper, US manufacturing been cheaper than in China for quite a few years already, but you have to spell that "ON PAPER" with big bold letters.

1. Labour — flyover states had wages comparable to South China for 2-3 years.

2. Education — supposedly best in the world, supposedly, at least beating Chinese public secondary school

3. Supreme "intellectual" property regime — no comparison to China at all, you can sue whomever, whenever, for whatever, and barristers here are even calling you themselves to offer their services to sue your competitors

4. Supply chain — world's biggest companies are there, if they are all here, there must be at least something they all buy.

5. Taxes — US vs. China's tax rate are incomparable: 30% vs 60%-70% something depending on incalculable amount of fees, charges, levies

How things are in reality:

1. People in US you can hire cheaper than highschoolers in China are really not-employable, in other words people with problems.

2. Education is there, but only for people who can already dish out a sum, otherwise even a passable secondary education is not a given.

3. Yes, you can sue everybody, and the same applies in reverse too!

4. Those companies really do buy, and sell a lot of stuff, just not from you, but the same guy you buy your stuff in China

5. US taxes are half that of China, but Chinese accountants know how to run from taxes 10 times better than American accountants.
Frankly it's stuff like this that gives me pause about ever working at a company like Google. It's truly disgusting.

I think you have a slightly stricter definition of "a proof" than me. I would consider a proof that all the numbers in (0,1) are positive to also be a proof that the number 0.5 is positive, as well as the number 1/e, and Champernowne's constant.

Since the original question was about uncountably many mathematical truths I would say we have one proof that proves uncountably many mathematical truths.

From what I read, Tesla uses these to collect ground truth information for training their camera-based system.
Driver supports costs money, vendors make money when they sell chips.

They treat drivers and software as a cost-center, so the software quality is typically horrible. Can't be merged, won't be merged.

Microsoft knew that, so they made sure to be ABI compatible so they could keep updating the OS.
If everybody does that then Tesla has no future.

well, jsonlines works extremly well for gigabytes of short json objects. You can mix and match usual unix tools, or simple scripts with just "read" in a loop, and you can parse each json object without worrying it'll take all your memory. jq can convert arrays to json lines and back. I love the format.
Every time Tesla uses the misleading-bordering-on-lying phrase "Full Self-Driving" to describe their cars? I have no problem with that. If you find it tiring, complain to the company telling whoppers and not to the ones pointing it out.
That makes more sense.

I assume if you are doing floating point or SIMD on more than one core then it's time to switch to big cores anyway.
It's a pet project. If you want to solve the kernel ABI problem, you can easily hard-fork and maintain that ABI indefinitely from any Linux kernel.

And if that sounds like it's too hard, imagine how hard it is to maintain your own kernel, and all the associated user space you now have to reinvent.

In fact, you don't even need to hard fork. You could have your own rolling tree with a stable "Android ABI" interface that vendors can write drivers against, optionally.

In any case, no company in their right mind would use this project. Google has proven repeatedly they will enforce a monopoly on their platform one way or another.
Hah I appreciate the meme and can appreciate arguments that IP rules can be improved but frankly, tearing down IP rules because of some malignant outcomes is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. At any rate, this is certainly more salient than "because from proprietarizing ideas, there is no benefit for society" which could be a quote from The Onion where the article picture is someone typing this on their iPhone.

NDJSON is a fork of https://jsonlines.org/, which has been around since 2013. I’m sure the concept is even older, but it can be helpful to have a name and a spec (no matter how small) for everyone to agree on.
I think it's worth pointing out that at least for EV batteries, this is a trade-off. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries don't contain cobalt or nickel. We could be building cars with LFP cells, they just would be heavier and/or have shorter range.

LFP is getting better. I think recent cells tend to be in the 150 Wh/kg ballpark, which isn't bad. In the short term I expect we'll probably see LFP in trucks and busses and low and medium-end EVs. Or maybe some new battery technology will come along and the whole trade-off will be moot.

(I think Tesla is already using or planning to use LFP cells from CATL in some of their model 3s. I'm not sure if that's just for the China market or if they're going to use LFP for US models.)
I think report is the wrong word here, I think it's more about expressing concern about something rather than 'report'.

You don't need to mistreat someone for them to feel uncomfortable if you've published a book mistreating people before. The precedent is enough - since obviously, anyone who has read the book will be thinking "that's what he's thinking about me right now". I think Martinez made a mistake, he thought he could be Brett Easton Ellis and then go and work in a large corporation. The truth is that even if he doesn't identify with the character he portrayed in the book (which he probably does but not to the extent his accusers think) it doesn't matter - because he literally wrote a book about how identifies as that person, and at that point the trust he broke "as character" has genuinely been broken in the eyes of his future colleagues.

It is definitely typical Kim Stanley Robinson in that it explores large ideas and delves into details that don't pertain directly to the plot. As a rumination on a possible non-dystopian future, it is excellent and I highly recommend it. The wandering plot and digressions into hikes in the Swiss Alps is also quintessentially Robinsonian. I loved it but you have to know what to expect.
Leo Network Promises to Reintroduce the Joys of Online Shopping to Indians
LEO Network is the newest entrant in the e-commerce arena. And it aims to bridge the gap between sellers and buyers by enabling live video streaming. Founded by five young minds, amidst the pandemic in 2020, LEO Network focuses on serving its customers and merchants equally with a varied set of features. The world can now enjoy the LEO experience by visiting its website or by downloading the app on their smartphones.

It aims to be the platform for sellers and buyers to interact and shop. With a digital storefront, a virtual equivalent of the physical store, the platform helps small/medium-sized businesses become brands. Along with products showcasing, the merchants get to share their stories with people. Humans have always bonded over stories. LEO hopes that stories will help build a new community.

For customers, LEO assures complete transparency. One is informed about where the product is coming from, who is making it, how it will reach them and when. Everyone to build real connections here. Given the transactional nature of e-commerce, LEO Network aims to add a human touch to shopping, virtually. Buyers and sellers could sell or buy high-quality products from remote villages or big cities. From handloom to trendy outfits, one can find everything here. The company is run by two brothers, and IIT-Roorkee alumni, CEO Saurabh Gupta and COO Shivam Gupta.

Saurabh says, “As the pandemic forced everyone to stay boxed at home, we thought of doing something out of the box. Malls aren’t reachable to all and shops might not be open anytime. People are realising the need for human connection. So, we decided to do something without compromising on anyone’s safety. People deserve a community, where they can explore, socialise and interact. LEO Network comes in to fill that gap. With LEO, we want to introduce ‘shopping with entertainment’. Here, you can shop, be entertained or start engaging. We’re not just aiming at commerce, we’re aiming to be ‘social' first.”
Heartened to see this at the top. I was expecting to see something like “Gasp! Modi is as bad as the Netanyahu/Hitler!” It’s almost as the rest of the world are not interested in being inundated with the Californian Elite’s warped ideas/ideological doctrine. As an American, it’s obvious now we are a declining power, and one can’t ignore how tech giants have accelerated that. Sensible countries, like India, are right to reject Facebook’s influence (and no, although many will disagree, this is not proof that India is a failed democracy/nazi state).

It's worth noting that Nest is using (likely heavily customized) Linux, pretty hard to keep sync with the upstream due to its monolithic kernel architecture while doesn't get aggressive investments like Android. But lifespan expectation for those products is much longer (~10 yrs) than typical smartphones (3~5 yrs) which leads to more maintenance headaches as Google accumulates their product portfolio, even compared to Android

And... Even notorious Google couldn't completely pull their hands from Nest Secure although they decided to discontinue its production and sales. This is probably the problem they want to solve with Fuchsia. In this context, using Fuchsia is a pretty natural engineering decision. Fuchsia team can onboard its first customer while Nest team can outsource lots of its maintenance issues to a more appropriate team. I guess they already consider using Android before, but probably that's a no-go option since its support usually ends before 5 years.

Of course, Android and Chrome OS have completely different needs and environments, so I don't expect them to converge to Fuchsia in any foreseeable future. More likely scenario would be a shared ecosystem based on Play Store which enables more future strategic movements.

AMD already does and that creates a lot of friction both due to the bloat of the kernel the majority of which is now the AMD driver and the issue with code conventions and quality.

Unless hardware vendors agree to support a generic driver for each device type which can be maintained by the Linux kernel team it’s going to be a total nightmare and even then you need an easy model to extend the generic driver with a device specific one through an easy interface.

What's something bad Netanyahu has done that Modi hasn't?
Siemens makes an enormous range of electrical and electronic products. One of my favorite YouChube channels, Homo Faciens, used to have a lot of really great stuff about improvising electromechanical systems out of junk, but more recently it's been shilling Siemens products that replace the junk he used to use. So apparently if you're into that kind of thing, Siemens has a lot of products to sell you.

It's a shame SupplyFrame wasn't profitable enough to remain independent, but as acquirers go, Siemens seems pretty reasonable.
HN frontpage is the best support route for goog services. I'll guess the issue will now be addressed within 24 hours.

Alternative interpretation is that while funded by the foundation, they follow what they think the community overall would like to follow, which is the protocol known as Eth 3.0. "Taking orders" being following specifications written by people who seem, after reviewing their work, to have a good heart in the direction of the project.

Jumping to "they are doing X because of Y" seems a bit intense, and would like to see how you're getting there.

What would it take for you to see it differently? That one of the clients diverge from the specifications to do their own thing? That's not in anyone's best interest either, so unlikely to happen.
You see SaaS as unstoppable, but it's not. It's just a trend, nothing more.

Desktop apps solve a problem: I can still work, even if the network/server is down. SaaS solves a different problem: I can't mess up and lose my data. So desktop apps make sense whenever you're more concerned about the first problem than the second.
He’s invincible. As Trump was saying they need to protect people like him. He’s pushing America towards the future (at a cost) and his image is good within the US as well as abroad. He’s the embodiment of the American dream (he rumored that he couldn’t afford paying for rent when he funded tesla/spaceX). He’s the reason people are willing to take risks to create their own startups. It’s almost like he’s too big to fail, a failing elon musk would be a failure for America’s entrepreneurship and tech future. So now whatever he’s doing, he’s getting a pass. Wanna pump dogecoin? You get a pass.
I don't understand - do you think most services are run from someone's random desktop? That's not the way it works in the real world.
QLDB is a document DB, so you are limited to a single point or range per query. Also keep in mind `history` in QLDB is a function, not just a store of previous values; given a table "foo" and a key "bar", getting its immutable state from last Tuesday at 4 PM EDT would be:

SELECT * FROM history('foo', `2021-05-18T20:00:00`, `2021-05-18T20:00:00`) as t WHERE t.metadata.id = 'bar';
But there are numerous marketing pages, quotes from Musk etc. where that sneaky distinction isn't made. Honestly I don't know why there hasn't been an enormous class action lawsuit from people like yourself who were fooled into paying for something that has never and can never be delivered. Surely that is fraud?

Yes, I would get a cheaper deal. But I would also get an 'unknown history' with a second-hand machine, as well as no warranty at all.

I'm quite happy with 'factory-refurbished' stuff sold through manufacturer's dealerships: I've bought several low-use Mercedes cars that way.

When you have sufficient money for your needs, it's better to have years of peace of mind than temporarily having more cash-on-hand. (I know that sounds horribly pretentious, but I can't think of a better way to state the philosophy.)

There's an old saying, probably ascribed to the clothing business, that says "Quality remains, long after price has been forgotten." that is close, but not quite what I'm trying to say.
> The first major open source kernel since Linux, and somewhat arguably OS X, has been released.

'...perceived as being unreliable...'

AFAICT, the primary effect is that HN commentary on any google release has approximately zero SNR. Some back-room team could cure cancer and the HN thread would be 90% complaints about Reader. Compare/contrast the vast numbers of dead github projects, dead startups, and dead code generally. (Also, who the fsck calls the cancellation of plus traumatic?? That's comedy gold.)

This is an open source release under the MIT license. You can use it, fork it, or ignore it...
Knowing what I know after 2 years of Tesla ownership, I would cancel any order until they actually release the feature. I was foolish enough to buy the FSD option and it's a joke. They were claiming "by the end of the year" back then. I should have asked which year. It's still a great car, but Elon Musk is a lying bullshit artist.
