You are right Java succeeded. But not in the way that I see Rust is heading. I learned Java in early 2000s, not because it was a nice language to learn, but jobs were in it. I remember hating the entire process, the smell of Enterprise in everything.

In Rust, most talks I watch are tiny games, graphics and visualizations, emulators, language interpreters, some web (every language must it seems), experimental databases, kernels, lots of rewrites of other system software... Almost nothing I see in general is production focused, forget enterprise.

These are all from learners, hundreds of people falling in love with the language and the community. I have been in software for almost 2 decades, 15 years of them professionally. I have not seen this in a language that is also slowly going mainstream. Maybe I am wrong, but I am willing to bet a good chunk of my next 10 years to Rust.

Rust will not replace lots of code in Python (my main language), for example. Taking parts out and optimizing them in C++ is something I would have never done. I would do it in Rust. That gives a systems language huge appeal to tons of developers from the top 10 non-systems languages.
One of the beautiful things about 2001 is it's easy to have both a religious and atheistic interpretation of it. Kubrick has said the "God concept" is at the heart of the movie, though not in the traditional anthropomorphic sense (see last answer on http://www.krusch.com/kubrick/Q12.html). All the pieces are there.. seeing a miracle, making a journey, becoming enlightened and at one with a higher being, etc.
I’m trying to point out an uncomfortable truth that a lot of green promoters gloss over or fail to acknowledge. In some cases natural gas may be the best option for the environment given a location - that’s simply a fact. Producing solar power, even if it was perfect and constant, does not magically remove all of the petrochemicals involved in its manufacture, transport, and maintenance.

I think hydro and nuclear are the realistic clean options. Solar and wind are not going to fix our problems.

Very cool, but I don’t want to dwell on all the bugs one would swallow cycling through one of these cities.
It is! I used to be a part time Windows user (mostly games) so when I bought a new mouse, I installed their offical software to configure. It felt like they spent more time on the colours of the application than UX.

Anyway fastforward many years to a few months ago. I am now full on Linux user and haven'r used my mouse in a long time. The configuration has reset and I needed a way to configure it again. Piper to the rescue. Super simple set up. It still had a few quirks for my mouse at the time, but it was actually easy to use and understand.
Why not just extremely simple, plain HTML? No frameworks, not even CSS. In fact, you could make your life even simpler by using markdown files and having the browser convert that to HTML in real time with a single JS library (there are a few, I am not promoting anything one particular), so it doesn’t even require a “back end”! Plain HTML, while not having all the “portable” attributes of PDF, is still pretty darn robust and most browsers handle printing (or conversion to PDF) quite well.
I set up my blog so that the page source would consist of the original markdown and as little markup as possible to make that render. You can read it with telnet and the experience isn't so much worse than using a browser.

(The actual part that makes this work is a pile of opaque javascript doing all sorts of nasty things at runtime, but such is the way of web pages in today's browsers, I don't worry too much about it).
I think part of it is an "I don't care" attitude but another part is that people think that the government won't bother them. Another part of it is that there is nothing they can do even if they did care.
We need the pessimism. Irrational exuberance clearly doesn't work.
The standard mandates that the result of fma is rounded as-if an infinite precision result is computed internally followed by a single correct rounding. There isn't any wiggle room.
How do ensure it wasn't a malicious maintainer?

That information is meaningless if traces back to an empty room.
Yes, this is obviously a broken test. It isn't computing the error, it's computing the difference with another operation with its own error.
There are also other lightweight alternatives. The Gopher protocol has a small, but disturbed following : http://gopher.muffinlabs.com/gopher.floodgap.com (you can actually use netcat as your gopher client). Gemini is a more modern gopher-inspired protocol https://gemini.circumlunar.space/. Personally, I'd be pleased to see a text-first approach gain adoption. I don't think anyone looks at the thick-client model browsers have evolved into and sees an optimal solution.

I think evangelistic energy should probably be directed at complaining to organizations that share content through JS-framework monstrosities. Getting rank-and-file web-devs excited about lean websites doesn't hurt, but clients and CTOs have real decision making power.
I wonder why some individual Catholics, including clergy, have issues with stuff like Harry Potter [0] for introducing people to the occult while the Vatican recognizes Noferatu as a great film on the basis of art.

I think this adds to the evidence that some Catholics are out of touch with the positions of their religion and we should really be wary of people using religion as justification for some seemingly unreasonable action.

Not necessarily politics. It could be purely due to lack of interest from maintainers and reviewers.
Thank you. I think we got sold a story about wrongful arrest just because Apple was involved.

The story is still horrific, but I am mildly miffed.
Why did that dude dress up in face paint and a Buffalo hide? I don’t know and suppose the answer wouldn’t be coherent anyway.

Why do people protest anything? Nothing changes. It’s a futile effort.

Why did that capitol cop shoot that lady thru a window? Cops gunna cop and they always lie about it afterwards. Probably needs de-escalation training.
Is this the end of stock footage copyright?
> "Important, salient"

A keystone is that. Keystones are key, take the keystone out of an arch and the arch collapses. Doesn't that make a keystone "important, salient"? I think it does. Both of those definitions support these words being synonyms. I quoted both definitions because I believe both support my point. (And I quoted both for 'keystone' because if I didn't, I figured you'd disingenuously attribute that omission to malfeasance.)

> As another poster has asked, why would you choose to change a shorter, more common word for a longer, less common one if they mean exactly the same?

My response to him applies to you as well. You would not be nitpicking such word choices if you were not looking for a crack to gain leverage in the conversation.

An indication that the EU does not believe the probably American intelligence assessment that these hackers operate on behalf of the Chinese government.
The stigma is there, because if it was in one centralized database, the issue would be much more pronounced. It is a lot easier to destroy a company than a government.
Yes, for the user it has some advantages:

. Download it and keep it forever.
. Read offline.
. Be able to share it through email, etc
. Print it and read it in a nice place! (I encourage this)

Of course, it has some downsides:
. No responsive, so people who download it from a phone may hate it.
. No accesibility.
Cooperation is the key metric I'm considering. It's becoming more critical that we learn to, and we are not even trying.

btw, "US Coupon Bureau" is not any kind of US official organization, just another crypto startup. And their own website has their name listed as "The Coupon Bureau".

I had to dig a little, but the "NHS vaccine temperature tracking" does at least have a CNBC article about it:

I'd actually have to imagine the bug count wouldn't be that much worse than a typical city, replete with flies and mosquitoes from the abundance of humans and human food waste to feed on.

If anything the bug problem might be slightly improved since the ecology would be friendlier to things that eat bugs, such as frogs, lizards, and bats.

Of course, then you've got the problem of frogs and lizards getting into your house. And, ultimately, things that like to eat frogs and lizards, like snakes.
> why would you choose to change a shorter, more common word for a longer, less common one if they mean exactly the same?

I'm not the OP, but you're assuming this was copied and pasted and the word changed deliberately. I can think of a number of reasons why the different word was used, that has nothing to do with an attempt to mislead: e.g. autocorrect if typing it on mobile, genuine error (thinking it was actually 'keystone' in the original).
Why? To validate form fields.

Who? The PDF viewer.

When? Since about 2000 in PDF format version 1.3.

Dependencies? Hah, no such luck. You're stuck with ES5 and Adobe's crufty JS library. There is no HTML and DOM, there are however some pretty thorough PDF document bindings.
Yes. That script is really good!
Religious people in vast majority do not even read their holly book, but arrange their lives according to that religion. So go figure.

I heard of someone whose parents just didn't give them sweet candies as a child and they never developed the craving. This is just a "I heard of one person ever" but since it's so rare, it's all I have to go on. I wonder if this would be reproducible.
>wantonly destroyed

Normally these kinds of seized goods wind up at auction.

You'll have a hard time getting anyone to fess up to it for the same reasons you'll have a hard time getting MBA types to fess up to systematically working employees to the bone but there's schools of management theory that say government should engage in conspicuous waste and/or bad behavior as a way to project power.

Remember this next time you see five cop cars blocking three lanes for a fender bender with two cars parked on the shoulder.
Oh, yes, fully agree on the novelty. Fountain Codes are also super cool, were totally novel, and had and continue to have limited utility.

While all useful ideas were once novel, the inverse is rarely true.

And that’s problematic when your novel idea has the carbon footprint of several countries.
I think it comes down to whether you want to maintain a fixture or a factory. In my experience, it can be easy to set up a fixture but over time it increasingly becomes a pain -- sometimes enough that setting up a factory is worth it.
I've found it to be mixed, depending on the nature of the workload. Sometimes having GC can be faster, since allocations can be cheaper. But it will generally trade off higher memory utilization, and the behavior is harder to predict under diverse workloads.
I’m neither Christian nor in the USA, but from what I’ve heard, Catholics from the USA also tend to have issues with the Vatican in general. But then the whole religious system in the USA also seems a lot more split in general.
MPFR would work as a reference library for the comparison.
I thank you for making these problems explicit. I am very curious what the wealth distribution of Cardano looks like and will do some analysis.
I don't consider myself as experts compare to some of the big names, but my habits have served me well.

1. Don't assume anything. Go in with an open mind and blank canvas. I can't tell you how many times I've been in design meetings where engineers assume they know how things are gonna work, before clients even open their mouths. I can't tell you how many times clients assume they know how technology works before we explain to them.

2. Iterate and validate as fast as you can within reason. Don't do waterfall, at least not at the beginning. Design, build and validate, or even just do napkin design and validate. It'll save you a lot of headaches.

3. Perfect is the enemy of good. When you reach a certain comfort level with your software, ship it. You'll never be able to clean out your tech backlog or bug list.
My guess is that many partners are not hardcore users and will make silly mistakes, like using "Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!" to highlight how amazing is the new startup.

Perhaps the error will not be so obvious :) , but a good HN post need a balance of technical and not technical stuff.

OS X/macOS used to have some serious issues with exFAT but they may have been addressed in the few years since I last used exFAT on a Mac. Something to double-check before using the pair to store critical data.
Being able to beam ads to the wealthiest folks (who can afford brain implants) sounds like a very high value to companies
That's rough. I've had similar experiences.

TDLR: Needful, worthy improvements require champions. A thankless role. And few of us have the resources and tenacity to serve the champion role for the long haul.

In trying to understand organizational psychology and apparent apathy, I keep thinking of Stephen Jay Gould's theory of "punctuated equilibrium" meets the attention economy.

Metaphorically, organizations (and people) are information processors. Attention is our scarcest resource. We're all doing triage, at every level. Just trying to cope with the torrent of information, discerning signal from noise. Trying to prioritize efforts.

So it's almost inevitable that needful, useful, worthy things remain neglected, undone. Even in the absence of pushback.

Until some kind of crisis. When the neglected thing suddenly becomes very important.

Cue the fire drill. Something must be done.

The champion must be watchful, ready, proactive. Seize that very brief opportunity to sneak in their needful improvement. Ahead of the all the spazs pitching their weird and wrong and ignorant reactive proposals.

The only winning strategy is to just keep pushing. Patiently, diplomatically. Be that useful thing that everyone's dimly aware of.

"Oh, wasn't Con Kolivas working on that mouse jitter thing? Ya, I heard it's pretty good. Ah, it's ready to go? Cool, let's do it."

If your needful thing is truly worthy, be confident that eventually it'll percolate to the top of the triage stack.

This game truly sucks. But I don't see how it could be any other way with our current decision making structures.
> well funded

Is it? The kernel has a billion users who pay $0 for it. Most of the work is done by volunteers still. Oracle and RedHat have a few people looking at it full-time, and then Linus himself. This patchset is maintained by a third-party, Paragon, who also have an NTFS-for-Macs solution.

Hence:

>> We simply don't have anybody to funnel new filesystems

Also I see the new polite kernel is going well: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YO8LOKR%2FvRUgggTx@casper.infra...
Well, good news! We’re conducting a planetwide, n = 8 billion, study on this topic right now! We don’t have a control group, though, except maybe a handful of rich folk who can afford to scrub CO2 from their penthouses.

Not at all. I am against arbitrarily forcing them to do or not do things, which is what some people are calling for here.

> Don’t people who play video games screw over anyone who wants a graphics card to render 3D graphics for movies by your logic?

To some extent, yes. In those cases, there is optimization between different types of value being found, and different tradeoffs being made. There is intrinsic value in entertainment, both from video games and movies. There is instrumental value in, for example, machine learning model training. The difference I see with cryptocurrencies is that they provide no significant value, either intrinsic or instrumental. It isn't a matter of tradeoffs, but a choice between producing some value at all, or producing practically none.

I will concede that there is some amount of entertainment value that people may get from watching cryptocurrencies rise and fall, but that same entertainment could be found in any other form of gambling.

> Have you looked into how strike.me is using Bitcoin?

Honestly, I try to avoid the new cryptocurrency product developments in the same way that I avoid reading about new homeopathic "remedies". In both cases, while there are variations, the foundation on which they are built is so fundamentally flawed that the end-product will be flawed as well.

This is the first I'm heard about strike.me. Looking into it, their website is incredibly sparse on details, and your comment gives more information than their FAQ. The main piece is that transactions are resolved using the Lightning network. That's the type I had been referring to as actually being a bank with the off-chain transactions, but skirting all banking regulations. With that, I wouldn't trust any money that's held in a strike.me account, because either strike.me or their Lightning provider is functionally a bank but without any regulations.

Ask HN: How hard would it be to create a website like HN?
I'm getting into webdev and wish to create a website similar to HN. How much overall experience or knowledge in which languages would be required?

Thanks.
Seventeen of his eighteen charges are clearly about the freedom of the press, as they are entirely about what he published. Only one arguably isn't, and even that can be argued is also a violation of a free press.
Ubuntu does support using both the GPIOs and camera. I use Ubuntu other places so the advantage it gives me is familiarity. I can manage my RPi's just as I do my other systems. Also although there is a lot of Rsapberry Pi documentation available there is even more for Ubuntu and it applies to the RPi version.
That requires someone to put in a conscious effort to manage and people are lazy when it's not their money.

Also (thanks in large part to internet commenters, many of whom on HN fit this archetype) people are afraid that a liability waver doesn't cover them when in reality unless there are aggravating circumstances a liability waver pretty much always caps your loss at the consult fee required to get your lawyer to tell the ambulance chaser to f off.
Ya. I’m not understanding why someone would think a condo needed to be rented out at all if someone couldn’t afford to buy it outright? Condos aren’t usually rented where I live, just apartment complexes that are managed blanket as rental properties.

If you're just looking to copy/paste text from images, there are a couple of small utilities for this using the built-in Vision framework.

OwlOCR is the one I use, with shortcuts set up next to the cmd-shift-3/4/5 screenshot keys.

Technically no because there is only one instance of Peter Parker or Spider-man that have the same physical boundaries at their time of existence.

To clarify a little bit: according to the UN special rapporteur, the two women whom he supposedly rape did indeed NOT accuse him of rape - it was Swedish authorities that extended their request (forcing him to undergo an HIV test) to charges of rape. I believe this is what GP is referring to.

Why - because scripting is useful. A big use of PDFs is translating paper forms into digital forms without needing to make a web app out of them. JS is used for client side validation, same reason it was put into browsers. Acrobat can handle this along with many other features that most PDF readers can't handle properly.

Basically in the PDF world, Acrobat Reader is Chrome and everything else is, like, Konqueror or something. Don't be fooled into thinking PDF is a small spec. It's not.
