This is great news I think and it's great for both Rust and Linux
Yup.

Regretfully we seem to be in the minority, though. I expect more of the HN readership, but apparently the instant gratification culture permeates it here as well.
Why Is 'Satellites' by Rebecca Curtis Featured Fiction in the New Yorker?

TeXmacs: https://www.texmacs.org

As far as I know e.g. this book https://www.editions-ellipses.fr/accueil/4856-le-petit-pytho... has been written with TeXmacs, and antoher is in preparation by the same author. Also, Joris van der Hoeven has written a guide to TeXmacs ("The Jolly Writer") using TeXmacs
how many japanese do you think are in the business of making chef knives and bonzai trees
Yes, that is what the article is about. It even says so.
Yes, modules are typically available either on tape&reel or on trays (also easy to pick).
Also the Raspberry Pi pico is an example of a PCB that can be either a final dev board or a module and comes on a Reel: https://makerbright.com/raspberry-pi-pico-reel-bulk.html
No, you suggested the exact same reply he had already given, just in the next paragraph.

> it is like saying free speech is not important because you have nothing to say

The only thing your "alternative" reply changes from that is grammar.
If I'm playing Zelda or something, it's bearable because it's not too time sensitive and no one else is depending on me.
If I'm playing Smash Bros then I just can't hit any combos and if I'm playing Overcooked then we are all letting each other down because we're running past and into each other.
> wheels seize to function

It's 'cease' but I can't imagine a more appropriate use of seize, as it's a wheel/gears metaphor!
I don't know how it is where you live, but that's the way it works here. You pay a daily fee.
I got from “I draw isolated images” to “I draw comics” via the middle step of “I drew a Tarot deck”. I had to figure out a lot of shit about managing long projects that cannot be completed in a single day to do this. Tables to help me see at a glance what was available to work on, at what stage. Ways to think about coming back to the project again and again.

Once I had that done I could tackle stuff like “telling a story” which is a whole other kettle of fish.

Ask yourself what the shape of a finished larger thing is. How can you break it down into pieces about the same size as doing some of the drills you’re used to? What are the parts of it that require new kinds thinking and working? Make time to do that.

Take examples of stuff you want to be making and break it down. For instance I found it a useful comics-making exercise to take a short story by an artist I liked and write one sentence describing what happens on each page. That got me thinking about how much story could easily fit on one page.
Not commuting to work is one of the best luxuries I experienced in my life. I hate traffic/wasting gas/wasting resources. I am game going into office when needed as long as it does not exceed 1-2 times week and on some rare occasions I can make an exception.

I have been telling any recruiters reaching out that I am only interested in remote positions and have been ignoring everything else. It seems like things are shifting, as more businesses are offering remote positions in my area, and these are not HUGE tech companies but often smaller/medium businesses.
The person who drills 90% of the time and spars 10% will pretty much always beat the reverse person. Sparring is for practicing skills under real conditions. If you don't have those skills, there's nothing to practice in the ring other than flailing about and getting hit.
Excellent. My Latin is crap these days, and if I had to read the original it would take an hour to get through a page with a dictionary open, but it's great to have the Latin right there if something in the English raises an eyebrow.
Great that you are extending your break, congrats!

"Every day is Saturday"."It rekindled my passion for programming". "...constantly feeling that I am squandering that time". "I end up feeling like I should still use every single one of them".
All very valid feelings that I expect to have. Thanks for elucidating this. I think the best we can do is be aware of them, and any amount of planning is not going to mitigate these. The point about friends being busy is also very valid.

Very valuable, helpful inputs. Much thanks!
I thought it was fair considering no change in SoC makes Software development easier. Wait till Switch 2 to make the big hardware leap. Average life time of console are 7 years. So Switch still has a few more years to go. Nintendo cares way more about the experience rather than spec, as they have been for the past 20 if not 30 years.

My biggest question is the OLED, is it pentile? Since the resolution is the same but with a larger 7" OLED, the pixel density are already lower, and if they are using the industry norm pentile matrix OLED, it would means the pixel density is even lower for certain colour.

I suppose better colour saturation and accuracy might make up for it. Although $349 is quite expensive. I guess since they cant make enough of it for demand they might as well price it higher.

I am wondering if Nvidia SoC will make it into Switch 2 again. Low Budget Low Margin chips aren't exactly their usual play. And sometimes I just wish Nintendo make their own Smartphones.
So by that logic, if the vaccine makes me more likely to have a 'walking case' of the virus, I shouldn't be allowed to get it unless I'm high-risk, right?
I didn't intend to demand "everything I see has to appeal to me". I was merely pointing out that the meaning and impact of a headline are relative to the target audience and this was an example that illustrated the difference. With the effect that somebody somewhat rightfully asked "eh what is this about again"?

The HN crowd has a different average toolbox than the article's author, so the apparent mismatch between headline and article content was confusing.
A representational artist's reason to continue painting despite photography
I've been wanting this for years. Why does this target console apps only? Everything should respect it. If I have it set, nothing should even nag me about opting in.

Theres probably more Japanese making knives and growing bonzai trees than there are Japanese astrophysicists or computer architects.
Toptout: Easily opt-out from telemetry collection
The business apparatus understands cooperation between US-China where it makes sense during the transition.
If that’s true, it would be extremely good community management on his part.
Neighborhood social network Nextdoor is going public
Yes it does, thanks! Of course I have a lot more questions now but I will contact you guys. I like the way you are approaching data and I think you have a fresh look compared to more classic tools like Alteryx. I hope your pricing will make sense as these tools now compete with PowerBI which does have some light ETL capability (pbi gives people more than enough rope to hang themselves in fact).
Rome had already been sacked in 410.

16-year old emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed, but his life was spared which is a better fate than Vercingetorix received at the hands of Caesar.

Odoacer installed himself as ruler and the seat of power moved to Ravenna. So basically all vestiges of Roman rule ended.
No, docx et al are open - not only are they xml, they are standardized by ECMA and ISO. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML
But you still think that someone should do outdoor jobs where you live. Why them and not you? Their jobs are open to you, but your job is not open to them.

How do you reconcile expecting the rewards of other people's labor if you wouldn't be willing to do the same labor yourself?
You might be interested to know that Another World was not Eric Chahi's first game to implement a VM. Infernal Runner (Amstrad CPC, 1985) was recently reverse-engineered to be playable in the browser. Some details and source: https://github.com/cyxx/infernal_js
Or maybe software "should" do whatever the creators of the software feel like making it do, and you should fork it if you don't like their decisions.
It would be absolutely incredible to have a resource like The Latin Library (https://thelatinlibrary.com) with parallel translations.
Incorrect. Chess.com has a superior lessons system (it isn’t just text and a predefined board) and it has a superior computer to play against. In Lichess you have to use one of 7 levels in chess.com you have a sliding scale from 250-3200 and they have a lot more tools to analyze the game both during (when playing bots) or after. I use both but I swear that the comments I see dissing chess.com seem to be from people who are hardly familiar with it.
This might be better understood as a social concept rather than a legal one. Suppose you have a social group, and the way people are admitted into it is by invitations.

The GPL is someone who will invite anyone who asks, as long as they themselves will also commit to inviting anyone who asks. That is, anyone who is invited by the GPL person cannot discriminate about who else they admit to the group.

The BSD is someone who will invite anyone who asks, and they can be as cliquey as they like. They can discriminate on any basis, or form in-groups among themselves where other people are not permitted.

Does the first or the second social group seem better to you? This might be a good predictor of whether the GPL or BSD model is more intuitive.
If you think GDPR always requires consent, you would be wrong. Consent is just one of many possible legal bases, and usually the one you use only when you can't use any of the rest. In this case, and more widely, it's not at all clear which types of personal data processing do or do not require consent.

Up to 1,500 businesses affected by ransomware attack, Kaseya CEO says
>but the only reason people are reacting to this are that they don't understand it

I think it's much more likely that they're reacting like this because they see their own plight in the wolf. It doesn't matter why the wolf killed itself, it became a meme that allowed many Chinese to reflect together on a common plight.
> Effectively, you're just restricting the business models of your users. It has worked for some projects (Linux above all)

I think you are understating how crucial a license like the GPL was in Linux getting to where we are today. It was essential.
The How : The Hacker in Hacker News (HN) means a computer hacker and this story is about hacking.
The Why: Because a community of hackers and non hackers alike who use HN found it interesting and upvoted it enough to make it to the frontpage.
Hope that helps answering the how and why.
He complied with the contribution cap and the income cap that year.

You know, 22 years later you can still do this as well and it wouldn’t be tax fraud or wire fraud.

You can do it even better now, than then, by doing backdoor Roths.

Play the game by a more efficient set of assumptions because yours are just self limiting.
In Linux, we use `abrt` for that, but user need to review and submit bug report with stack trace manually, so nobody complains about that. Yep, it's very useful.
“ Many years ago, a friend tried to convince me that the passive consumption of any media – film or television, maybe even music – was bad for the soul.”

This is so melodramatic. But no, it’s not going to poison your soul to Netflix binge. In fact, I guess no one ever wrote anything called uncle toms cabin and that novel certainly did nothing toward the abolishment of slavery in North America

A modern parallel is Dharma and Greg and LGBTQ liberation in the 2000s

There’s no such a thing as passive consumption of art. Its in its entirety a subsconscious thing.
Someone probably went looking for telemetry opt-out stuff since the recent discussion of Audacity's telemetry and weird policy changes. Somehow they found this.

Unfortunately, the way this guy conducted himself was terrible. His tone and behavior in the issues and insistence that it's a standard just because he made a webpage were really off-putting. I can see why no one was champing at the bit to endorse this.
This is such a great idea.
Evan is one of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of working with at Google. As his coworker on the TypeScript team he taught us all valuable lessons for dealing with the type of large-scale development needed to maintain the monorepo. Truly a treasure and a sad loss for the team. I wish him nothing but the best wherever he ends up!
You are correct about Audacity being used primarily because it's free, and it's certainly very far from professional audio software. But I think it's pretty unfair to say that quality isn't a concern, because I'm sure that the developers care very much about quality.
i live in the red corridor you highlighted.
I agree with illiteracy, povery, but not overpopulation.

Naxalite's are popular for various reasons.
. they are popular in telengana because of oppression by muslims.
. they are popular in bihar because of cate based oppression.
. they are popular in andhra because of exploitation by landlords.
. also they are mainly dependent on forest area for shelter.
I’ve probably had some long COVID symptoms myself, but self reporting on something like this is next to worthless. You’ve got a mix of the placebo effect with people that had COVID attributing everything negative after to it, all backed with the media constantly reminding them of long COVID.
I'm not sure precisely what you're trying to say here - but my intuition is that you're saying "people will illicitly manufacture guns in Illinois and people will patronize them rather than drive over to another state to purchase guns."

If that is what you're saying (and please, clarify if it's not!) - it's worth knowing that both Wisconsin and Indiana are a 90 minute drive from Chicago city limits, so any illicit manufacturing has to compete with the ease of a relatively short drive to purchase in another state.

I think sometimes people forget just how close Chicago is to other states.
It is. I also use both platforms and you can’t even bring up preferring chess.com here or on Reddit’s chess subs without being downvoted to oblivion and dogpilled. It’s super cult like similar to the way Musk fanboys come out in droves if you even suggest he isn’t some great man of history.
If it is so small then just write your own alternative. Otherwise it sounds like the small library is actually quite valuable and perhaps such a license is justifiable.

Fascinating stuff. I appreciate the threads to follow. I’ll see what I can dig up.
The Ottomans, in holding together a multi-ethnic, multi-religous empire, frankly did something that seems more Roman than what the Byzantines did.

Perhaps it fell in the 4th century, perhaps it fell in 1922.
This is kafkaesque. "Here is the stupid thing we did to game the stupid metric and make it happy"
> until just a couple of years ago it could not as it used a lot of GCC specific syntax

Note that the kernel still uses a lot of GCC specific syntax; it's just that LLVM/clang was laboriously made to understand all of that (with a few exceptions where the kernel was changed instead). And when they were almost done, the kernel started requiring another new GCC specific syntax, so they had to chase after that too.
This. Same thing in the United States. They swore they were neutral and the media mocked everyone who claimed bias. Then when the tech giants went full propaganda for the left the media just switched narratives that this was their right all along.
Including blackface, which other threads are suggesting is just totally impossible to pull off. The reality is it's perfectly fine to do anything offensive so long as the the joke isn't just reinforcing those beliefs.

Not any different than the very common older, white racist character in sitcoms today. They're funny! Not because racism is funny, but because the unacceptability of their racism is funny.
French court orders Twitter to provide details on anti-hate speech
IIRC Debian have attempted to track installations of packages, and likewise discovered that people don't like it.

(Pretty much 100% predictable by now: the issue is hot, and complaining is easy—so it will be done.)
Thank you <3

I'm really sorry to hear that you had issues with running it! In case you do not have enough time to report the issue, just make a screenshot and post it on our chat (https://discord.gg/enso). We will then create the issue for you and we will let you know as soon as it will be resolved. We might also ask you for some additional info, but we'll try not to take too much time of yours! It is very important to us to fix all the issues for the upcoming stable release :)
I was somehow expecting the answer to be: "Yes, I do all my keyboard input from inside emacs, including running the shell".

For linux-portable keyboard configuration, you may find that an unholy mix of setxbmap (to set up the grand options) and xmodmap (to modify a few particular keys) is what works best for you. At least it does for me.

ah! the horror!
I experience exactly the same problem. After hitting the merge button, the UI sometimes reaches a completely inconsistent state.
I will agree with the point about comedies is somewhat true, comedic releases have diminished greatly. We used to get a great new comedy every year. I can name 20 great comedies in the 80s, 90s and 2000s respectively, but in the 2010s there's only a handful.
> Let's flip the script for a second here. Is a CEO allowed to like a positive story about the Indian leader? Can he retweet a cause he might care about (which many others might not)? Does this mean that CEOs abstain from taking part in public discourse or be called as not 'neutral'?

Well, you missed very important piece of context from my argument, 'at the peak of farmer's protest' . You already know the sentiments are running high, there is lot of misinformation, wide disconnect between ground reality and digital narrative. A little act of nudge or sign can trigger violence and get people killed on the street. Well, then I am looking at the CEO of the company that is carrying all of this information wether it is true or false, and how he behaves and if chooses sides wether correct or wrong.

> Who is allowed to be a flag bearer for free speech?

In my opinion, anyone who understand that free speech has its limitations, I am allowed to say whatever I want in certain context and situation but staying within reason.

Anyone who understands, the difference between shouting 'Hey, I got little firecracker on me' on an Airplane vs someone at a child's birthday party. Some things under different context trigger different reactions. It's not very hard to understand. Now imagine Jack Dorsey liking tweets of a person supporting the group that supports the ideology of those who attacked Capital Hill. Not sure about how other Indian Citizens feel about it, being an NRI of 15+ years I took hoisting of religious flag on Red Fort as an attack on democracy and also akin to attack on Capitol Hill as well.
I have stopped watching movies because I am getting old. I think that many movies nowadays are way better that what I used to like. It is just that I have seen it already, it is not new but re-shuffles of the same ideas that I have already been exposed to.

Each generation has to criticize the previous one for not measuring to the experiences that they had as children.

Why a movie in 2021 cannot move me like a movie when I was a kid? Surprise me? Scare me? Maybe movies are getting worse, that is possible, but probably the biggest change is inside yourself.
This is already how it works. Also, in the process of applying for a permit, the city will make sure your construction plan is reasonable and you're doing everything you can to minimize impact to the public. I think anywhere in the world with a functioning local government will be similar.
Imagine being a dualist in the 21st century.
I really love the concept of the product! I downloaded it played with it a bit, but I found it very unintuitive, and had some serious UX issues. I'm on a Mac.

* Scrolling the preview would often pan the entire window

* Panning the window was really sluggish

* It was really hard to drag lines, it felt like I had to be pixel perfect--I've been such a big fan of the idea of visual editor, but I really started to see what this user was talking about with wrist issues [0]

* It was really hard to modify a block of code, I tried mouse click + every different modifier I could think of, it felt random what allowed me to edit text, and then it kept "exiting" the text edit mode.

* Modifying a block of code felt like it was lacking a lot of text editing that a modern editor like IntelliJ or VS Code has.

* The auto complete had something weird going on, I don't exactly remember, but I think one problem was I couldn't use my mouse to scroll the list

* Small things surprised me, like how much white space mattered, like if I had an "<operator> .map", it wouldn't work, and I had to edit it to be "<operator>.map", which makes sense--but it was sooooooo hard to remove that space, because the editor kept exiting text editor mode by small user input mistakes

I kept thinking it was just a learning curve, so I really tried to not let little things get to me, and read the docs, but in the end I just gave up. It was just too hard.

Apologies. I thought I pasted the original link but I was wrong. Thanks for fixing it.
For ad industry, trust is gone now. But for telemetry? I think most people don't much care.
Having written my fair share of Latex, I will chime in that I despise the language. Verbose, too many special characters I need to escape (copy and pasting text becomes a chore), slow to compile, mystery number of compilation steps, and horrible debugability.

None of these are showstoppers, but quite a few paper cuts that leave me reaching for Latex only as a last resort. There are tooling and workflows one can adopt to minimize the pain, but it requires a lot of setup if I just want to get some text on a page.

I have stupidly optimistic hopes that something like [Skribilo](https://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/) would take over in this space, but I know that is foolhardy. Would require a generation of physicists and mathematicians to give up their hard-won Latex knowledge.

I disagree with that conclusion.

FAANGs dont care about that and will still pay you mid six figures.

There is also a global boom town in crypto, where you can build and release anything you want and earn more than FAANGs will pay you. You dont even have to speculate on any coin or token. Just launch products and earn.

Boost your serotonin levels and look at the possibilities again.
Amusingly if you create a Vec or String that operation is guaranteed not to allocate :D

The new() functions for these types are const (ie they can be evaluated at compile time) and produce an "empty" placeholder.

Because Rust's Strings don't have NUL termination, the empty string doesn't need any backing storage, likewise for an empty vector.

When (and more importantly in many programs if) you actually add something to the string or vector that may prompt an allocation, but you called an explicit method to do that, so it oughtn't to come as any surprise.
