It isn't just "bad", it denies knowledge of any cause and shrugs it off. If you're looking at broken tech and you shrug it off as "oh well its just cursed" then you're never going to solve the problem. The frequent posts on this site where someone drilled down through multiple levels and determined root causes of issues and mitigations were not written by someone who though the problem was "cursed". The use of that word implicitly turns the user's brain off from understanding any further. And I continually see it used more often. And there's always a reason. Literally nothing is "cursed". You can choose to not dig into the causes because time is finite, but using that kind of language makes the decision for you. And that's relevant to this site, if you want to solve those kinds of problems you need to not view things as being "cursed". Really that word is being used more and more in a way which is explicitly damaging to understanding. If you want to be more successful in your career in tech, you should really cut it out of your vocabulary since it is a self-defeating word.

Can you just not? The whinging is a serious distraction.
He didn't directly disclose any name the accusation is he wrote multiple clues from which witness could be identified . I haven't seen a clear explanation of how it was identifiable.

Even if that was true, jailing for media contempt is very very rare in U.K. and the timing given his involvement with Wikileaks case is suspect.
I think you would find the splay tree provides similar properties, potentially in an even more elegant way.

For applications I have used it for, this technique results in the hottest data eventually being condensed into a smaller number of contiguous storage blocks.

The power of this technique is that it amortizes the optimization of the tree across all access (reads), not just inserts & deletions (or other special-purpose re-balancing operations).
I haven't personally been impressed with the aftermarket headunits I've seen, I'd love to fit my car with CarPlay but I can't find anything that looks remotely OEM which is somewhat a priority to me. Definitely don't want it to have RGB gamer lights.

By tech-forward I was more referencing things like mobile keys, connectivity, digital dash, HUD, etc.
Take the situation the other way around. If your country had been colonized ("liberated" they would say) by say Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia or Daech, would you not consider it crucial information to know what persons and institutions collaborated with them?

That was me. I wasn’t happy at all after I got 2nd.
Wikileaks deployed an extensive and rigorous redaction process that met or exceeded journalistic standards. You can read more about it here:

Golden time for retired contractors. The same you see for the COBOL generation.
The law under which Murray was prosecuted does not protect victims, it protects accusers -- Salmond was cleared.
From law's viewpoint, you don't own your face and your fingerprints. The police can force you to unlock your devices via face or fingerprint recognition, or can do it itself by force against your will, but can't force you to unlock via passcode (which is in your head).
He didn't give any name. The people that are supposedly "exposed" apparently are all fake witnesses, anyway, as Alex Salmond was cleared in court. This is really disgusting.
Should you start a side hustle?
The After Dark "Mandelbrot" screensaver introduced me to the beauty of fractals. Anyone know if the source code is available?
(In non-COVID times) People still like to get out of the house and go do something. Going to a movie is one of the things they might like to do. However the high cost of a movie ticket is a deterrent to some, so lowering the price is a reasonable reaction to try to get more people to go.
> Does anyone remember when keyboard failures started to happen for "No Apparent Reason", and everyone said the same thing?

Don't forget the screen failures (stagelight) for 'no apparent reason' as well due to the absurd decision to permanently attach a too-short cable to the LCD panel, which also made a $5 repair a $500 repair.
But is there a safety issue here?

What are the numbers? As a society, we wisely look at incidents and determine how isolated they are. A lot of the same people who get furious about people being afraid of the recent vaccines because of anecdotal reports jump onto these stories and immediately make statements like this. In both cases, the anecdotes should be treated like what they are, not lent credence without further information.

I could just as easily say that Pfizer has less incentive to be truthful about the dangers of their products. But here's the thing:

Neither Tesla or Pfizer wants to get sued or have their brand destroyed. That's a hell of an incentive to not sell dangerous products.
No she can't, the story is far too different. It only touches on a few major points of her story but is 90% different, it would never hold up in court and she would be out court costs and probably financially ruined after the trial was over.
And how, might I ask, do you propose to do that?

Most public schools will have Oxbridge Advisors who coach their sixth form students how to prepare and succeed in the interviews which is a huge hand up. Remember that way more than half of students don't go to public school so even if it's increasing its still a huge step up.

I'm afraid that trying to compile an enterprise Java codebase with a laptop on my knees would be painful, since currently it maxes out all cores for a few minutes.

A deck chair seems like an interesting idea, however!

In regards to screens, I've found that 4 is still not enough for me - even some of them are stacked vertically with a DIY VESA mount and stand, so the movements end up being pretty limited and are more like the occasional gentle stretch.

Then again, I'm the kind of person who likes to have multiple categorized browser instances open, text editors, IDEs, source control tools and terminals to the point where managing all of the windows would be a hassle. Workspaces could help, maybe even tiling window managers, but I think everyone has their own preferred workflows.

I highly doubt it. Suppose you want to run untrusted user code with fork() + setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &limit) + exec(...). It would be rather silly if the user code could just create an io_uring to bypass resource limits.

> What is helping people most in need other then giving more to one side at the expense of other?

That's a great question and a lot more philosophical than I'm going to get into in HN comments. I was trying to emphasize how framing is important - focusing on reducing privilege is much different than helping those who are starving. Making LeBron James wear ankle weights will further equity in the NBA, but I don't think anyone wants that.

> The other word for it is fairness

Fairness in opportunity, or fairness in outcome?

Neither is possible with the randomness of the world. The only way to reduce the effect of randomness is to make us all exactly equivalent - I can't think of any good ways to do that.

> We have many rules that are obviously stacked for some group or another

Life is inherently stacked for some group or another. Even if we manage to make perfectly "fair" rules (which I don't believe is possible), there will still be disparities between however you want to define groups.

> Genetics are often relatively weak compared to these rules

Depending on the implementation of the rule, I somewhat agree. I don't think our science is advanced enough on the genetic side to determine how much of an impact these rules have.
And it's flap! Flap! Flap!

The EU is not going to get into a war because it doesn't have any countries capable of fighting a war. The GDPR is not powerful because as much as they think they can extract revenue from a multinational company, the pacifist EU countries don't have the power to enforce it at scale. China, Russia and the U.S. aren't going to help them enforce the GDPR. If the companies don't like it they will just ignore it and exclude the EU from the world economy.

The EU will moderate its enforcement to a degree that is tolerable by the companies to avoid any major conflicts.
>you have the same politicians colluding to basically go pirate and surprise fine the same business a billion for some semi-arbitrary violation out of nowhere.

Your wording here implies that you think this fine is not justified and is nothing more than a shakedown against Amazon. Am I misunderstanding here or is that really what you're saying?
> Later, as a consultant, my first project was on some dying database system that needed to be kept alive a short while longer. In this case, I'd learned already, that you don't have to always accept your circumstances as they are. I politely complained to management that this is not what I was hired for and did not match my skills, and was transferred to a way more interesting and career rewarding project.

This is important. I used to think that you're supposed to be doing what you're told, but this is often very bad for your career. You should do what will get you your next job. Introduce new technologies that are hot because you'll get to work on them, it doesn't matter so much if its good for the employer.
Thanks for that great series! It reminded me a lot of this demo for O'Doyle Rules, a Clojure rules engine library, wherein the author demos a dungeon crawler style video game written top to bottom using only the rules engine for logic https://youtu.be/XONRaJJAhpA?t=1577

He also goes on to show a text editor written entirely in the rules engine (which he uses to develop the game in), really cool stuff!
It seems like it shouldn't be so hard to solve, either. Someone should not become a public figure without demonstrating some kind of intent. If they are not pushing a narrative, trying to influence public opinion, etc, then they do not lose protection. We cannot let the defamers be the ones controlling the definition.
I played around with Uno... a sample "Hello World" app took like 10 seconds to load, placed a godawful amount of cruft in my project folder, and dragged Visual Studio to a crawl, on my 4core/4ghz, 32gb RAM desktop

Everything today is so inter linked it's hard to imagine a useful app that doesn't require other code or files. We had that on the home computers of the 80s but I don't think it's viable anymore.
If they provided specific details that would all but require identifying the suspects.
Many of Oracle's locked in customers come from startups that Oracle purchased.

Oracle goes around looking at the lock-in potential and acquires based on that, then they ride that startup product's reputation for as long as possible until they just leave it to rot. They also try to bundle in existing Oracle products (e.g. Oracle DB) almost giving it away to get your foot in the door then dumping on you.

Unfortunately a lot of companies find themselves in a business relationship with Oracle, even after never having purchase an Oracle branded product.
Lewinsky was abused by a man in power. In a corporate environment she could have easily sued. If they would have met in a bar then the situation would have been different. You are incorrect.
> read() with size 1

FYI shells do this when reading line-by-line from non-seekable streams (e.g. pipes). It's not really feasible to do buffer I/O when you have subprocesses around, and you can't just ungetc(3) into arbitrary file descriptors. A potential performance worth nothing IMO—that is, if you ever do text processing with a bunch of read commands and not sed/awk/whatever like a normal person. Of course this doesn't apply to seekable files, but it still has to rewind back to immediately after the last newline character so there's that.

In Defense of Package Managers
I don't think it's trivially easy to get money out of the country, so that might be part of it. Another thing is that for many people, being able to buy any real estate is attractive, even when you don't really get to "own" it in the western sense, it's still a lot like ownership (you own it for some number of years then have to give it back IIRC).
And most Oracle "customers" probably arent interacting with Oracle directly. They are buying a financial system or erp from a vendor who is Oracle under the hood. They might get to the product selection stage and be looking at 3 industry specific products built on Oracle vs NetSuite. Either way Oracle wins.
Title is misleading. He wasn't jailed for whistleblowing. He was jailed for apparently revealing identities of victims. Not sure about the specifics, I haven't been following the case and I'm not familiar with it. Sounds like its pretty contentious. All I know is many places including the UK have a far more restricted concept of freedom of speech than the US does. So its probably a lot easier for them to jail journalists over what they publish
Moving from a Western to an Eastern country or vice versa (and using a pseudonym on top) is actually a pretty good way to become near-anonymous, unless you're a Michael Jackson level of celebrity.

Of course, not everyone has the background to be able to smoothly pull that off.
Good question. It's interesting that we also use the word in the sense of a profit or return on an investment (e.g., "equity in your home"). I take that as a nod to its former meaning of "justly conducted," since without proper methods (in that sense "fair") business accounting would be impossible.
We offer ipv4. Remember, it is ssh only so there is very little you can do with it other than backups.

About the broken websites.

Firefox handles most of the site perfectly `without special treatments`. It you develop a website against it, it will about 98% work on chrome, and the reverse also hold.

The safari... on the other hand is a terrible s*t. If you try to develop against other browser. Your site will break on it about 4 in 5 even only use old feature that ie11 supports.

Its web standard support is a total joke in my opinion.

It isn't really a excuse to ship a browser that is so broken. Given the small mozilla handles mostly fine with it.

How on the earth a such giant company can't?
Looks cool! Definitely one of the most slick designs I've seen. Nice work.

Bronze medallist by the time the competition is near the end, usually compete just to get on podium, or they will feel a silver was lost instead of gold, but a podium was gained. Silver medalist usually compete for the gold near the end, a gold lost is a bigger loss, and a silver is a bad consolation.
That doesn’t matter. As a shareholder there is absolutely no way this helps your stock price. While you may not be crying it doesn’t make any sense to “lol” at it either.
Jack Walsh, one of the most successful CEOs ever at GE, where he grew stock capitalization from $12 billion to $417 billion, and revenue grew from nearly $28 billion to $170 billion said his job mainly was repeating his messages and goals all the time. Giving speeches. You'd think a powerful CEO like him would just snap his fingers and order people and they would do it, but no. If someone wanted to gum up the works, there's nothing he could do about it, even as the CEO. This is what he said.

When Welch took the helm of GE in 1981, he built the company’s own pit — a large lecture hall with a pitched floor — at GE’s corporate learning campus in Crotonville, New York, and made it the beating heart of the place. He would hold court there every other week and use it to foster a generation of managers who, in turn, helped him grow GE into the most valuable company in the world.

So it was the constant education and re-iterating goals of the company.
>The Herman Miller Aeron has been so solidly "the recommended" chair for so long at this point it's meme worthy.

There's a reason for it. An Aeron will last you your entire working life. As a 250lb man who likes to recline, I was going through cheap office chairs about every 3 months working from home, so I took the plunge and bought one. It very much feels like a piece of heavy duty commercial "equipment", not a cheap piece of furniture. I bought mine used; it's 20 years old and looks brand new. And the ergonomics, while controversial, I've found to be life changing.
I did read some of the (now offending) posts.

He didn't name anyone, but at the time I thought he provided more than enough information to identify one one of the complainants. Although I'm not au fait with the SNP there were details about situations, people, and roles that seemed more than specific enough for people to work out.

I don't think it was deliberate, and he is probably ignorant about how easy it can be to de-anonymise people. However he should have been more sensitive to these issues.

I’m very skeptical about the veracity and accuracy of facial recognition software to detect emotions.

I went to an affective computing conference in 2019 and was underwhelmed; models couldn’t distinguish between looking upwards (and raising your eyebrows) from exhibiting surprise. Emotions are complex and personal, and the phrase from the article “facial expression software — which nearly eliminates possible bias” seems absolutely ludicrous to me.

I take results like this with an absolutely massive grain of salt, and don’t expect them to be reproducible.

The danger is that they’re “catchy”, clickbait-y results, that are popular because people like to hypothesize about underlying psychological reasons why those bronze medalists might be happier. But let’s examine the core claim first, and not take facial recognition software as a ground truth for emotional state.
That’s true for some events, baseball has 6 teams competing so if you copied say MOBA’s/RTS’s and have bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond you’ll have what 5 out of 6 teams getting a medal?

Because they're stuck in the expensive city where their employer offices. If WFH means location independence and mobility, these employees will eventually find the space they need and can afford. At the moment, they're stuck in limbo.
It is a different thing. However they sold you a device with access to the Internet as a feature (not just a SIM slot to put your own). Why would they get to choose what you can do with it?

It's a bit like when Facebook wanted to bring "Internet" into countries where bandwidth is expensive, by branding unlimited access to Facebook as "Internet". Having access to the network should give you full access to the network (net neutrality). Having acquired hardware should give you full access to put your own system (right to repair).

It's only logical that if you paid for a device, and some money of that went into providing you free Internet services, you get to do what you want with both the device and the Internet access and Amazon should have no control over what you do because they CHOSE to sell that to you in an attempt to exploit your attention and control what you can read. That relation was abusive to start with, and that some people find little benefits in it does not bother me from an ethical perspective.

The entire point of Uno is being an implementation of UWP (notice the very specific goal here), while using native UWP with no overhead when on Windows.

Since WinUI 3 is multiplatform (in conjunction with the first party Linux/Android and OSX/iOS support in .Net 5 and 6, and with MAUI), Uno no longer needs to exist outside of dealing with legacy UWP code (which, as per Microsoft rules, shall never die).

Also, re: web UIs, I hate to inform you, but everyone hates these. They are slow, clunky, optimized for all the wrong things, inconsistent, and sometimes ugly. The move to HTML canvas-based UIs in otherwise native apps Android and iOS is why most apps on phones are slow, even though a purely native one would have been fast on an ancient phone. Please do not repeat this mistake.
