Indeed. As a fellow maintainer I will manually replicate the error the user reports, write an test to around the failing function, then fix said function.

After that I’m usually satisfied the bug has been fixed. So I will link the git commit hash of the fix to the bug report and ask the reporter if it fixes the issue their side. If I don’t hear anything back after a week or two I will follow up with a message much like the aforementioned: “closing this ticket because I believe it to be resolved but happy to reopen if you’re still experiencing issues.”

That is the only way I’ve found to manage projects because you either end up closing tickets prematurely and miss bugs, or you end up with tickets open for fixed issues that take time and additional mental overhead to filter out (both of which are a scarce resource when you’re trying to balance open source maintenance with a full time job and a family).

Two weeks might not seem long but I’m always happy to reopen issues. However if users really feel that hard done by this approach then they’re welcome to submit a pull request instead. Or even fork my project and maintain that they way they feel it should be done. Maybe they’ll have more free time than me to filter through historic issues that are now fixed but not closed between their personal lives and coding time.
That's the rub. We want to "help" just not like that. Lol.

LSP support (Language Server Protocol). Basically any language / file format for which a LSP backend has been written can now be used from Emacs.

LSP is not as powerful yet as, say, IntelliJ IDEA for Java development but suddenly the line between "text editor" and "IDE" for Emacs got much, much, much more blurry.
I thought this was pretty well known with the DevRel movement and practices at companies that rely heavily on developers and technologists for adoption.

Some Orgs need this more than others. AWS has some pretty poor docs from some services, but their primary acquisition channel isn’t necessarily devs.
Building useful and nonporous layers of abstractions and being able to quickly shift between them seems to be a key skill. When each layer leverages another, you can rapidly build something impressive.

This in turn implies apart from technical skill, charting a good course from layer to layer can make a big difference, vs meandering without quite knowing where you are going.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? Regulation will be gamed the same way the current system has a problem.

Come on, this is just incomparable. Protein is satiating.

No, the web people have it wrong. It's called:

- Failure to do upfront design (yay, misinterpreted agile/MVP/etc)

- Reinventing wheels over, and over, and over

Newer versions and frameworks tend to be 10% improvement, and 90% unnecessary churn.

It depends on the time and place. The favorite boogeyman of the Bolsheviks were the bourgeoisie at first, followed by the Mensheviks (communists of slightly wrong persuasion), and then counterrevolutionaries. The boogeyman for the royal regimes of the 19th century Europe was the French revolution, anything not sufficiently orthodox was automatically suspect.
Makes sense. Denisovan descendants go to Philippines, the ones left behind get killed off by some other land-based group.
What's the point in making Emacs behave roughly like another editor when you can just use the original? Also, Emacs has about a million lines too much bloat for the target audience of Nano. Which is the one thing you can't fix by adding tons of plugins.

>1960 - 1880 = 80.

Yes, so? You said "you're comparing an 80 year period (...) with a 25 year period of stability".

But I just compared 80 years with 60 years (and those 80 years also had the handicap of two world wars, and much less available resources).

Does it matter? Do you see anything of the scale of 1880-1960's inventions and discoveries appearing in the next 20 years?

Or do you think if we keep it to 60-60, say 1900-1960 and 1960-2020 it changes anything?

>Only someone ignorant of history. WW2 gave a huge incentive and a ton of resources to develop technology.

Only someone ignorant of history would also not know that WW1 and WW2 killed thousands of the brightest minds and millions of young people at their prime, disturbed research in tons of areas, diminished resources in affected countries (all of Europe for one for almost 2 decades), and caused the loss of trillions of resources, having a devastating effect which makes weapons and military systems research pale in comparison.

Wow, growing up in India I always knew that the Mithi Nadi (ulhas) was incredibly polluted and trash filled. But, to see it at rank 3 is really eye opening.

There have been efforts over the last few decades to clean it up. But, Mumbai slums are situated on the river, and dump everything and anything into it. It would be nice to know if the Ulhas is mostly polluted with plastic upstream or at the mouth near Mumbai.
A colleague on mine who once ran an ecological survey in the desert mentioned that her fluid of choice for extreme dry heat was V8. Pretty much anything else would cause horrible salt deprivation.
Somewhat related, SSDs run an entire microcontroller on-board to translate from I/O requests from the OS to proper use of the flash hardware.
The release notes say you can pin the debian10 kernel* and upgrade everything else. So my impression is 500kb of flash is the only blocker

It's not like this isn't a hole in the market. The problem is the incentive to invest in better ideas isn't stronger.
I was a juror on a DUI trial. It was surprising how the large majority of the jury was confused by the law and the slightly technical evidence; only after discussion during deliberation did the jurors start to gravitate around a reasonable decision.

In a case concerning patents, I can only imagine that deliberations might be end up akin to spinning the wheels of a slot machine.
It's possible, but Google has to get all the details right to make it "good enough" if not better.

For instance they have to get the story right w.r.t. to drivers and the needs of handset vendors, carriers, etc. Performance has to be good. Microkernel and capability-based systems are notorious for having bottlenecks.

Personally I liked the original WSL from Microsoft a lot but Microsoft didn't feel it was good enough because filesystem metadata operations are much slower in Windows NT than they are in Linux. If you do something that involves an excessive number of files (say build the Linux kernel) some people find the performance of WSL unacceptable. Yet, nobody complained about the slowness of filesystem metadata operations before on Windows -- people figured that was just the way it was, might not even have known some operating system was faster, and they stuffed data in SQLLite and otherwise reduced the number of files that they handled.

Microsoft felt they had to do something about it and came out with WSL2 which is inferior to WSL and to just running a normal Linux kernel under Hyper-V, VirtualBox, VMWare and the like -- because it is still closely coupled to Windows in ways that make "it just works" elusive. (e.g. just requiring that you install it from the Windows Store means you can't install it if your Windows Store is b0rked, which mine often is)

So Fuschia might be the future, but getting there involves confronting a lot of details that they might not want to confront. If there are ten critical "non-functional requirements" and they only get nine of them they are doomed.
I agreed with this until I found Hasura.

For me its just the right level of abstraction and saves me a boat load of time writing CRUD queries. Now, 90% of my CRUD ops are autogenerated, with great, granular authorization, and for more complex logic I can easily "join" a lambda function.

Grills with PTFE coated utensils.

Commercial kitchens using specialized ovens and PTFE lined pans could be constantly putting out fumes.

Our propane pizza oven gets up to about 400C on the stone, and hotter at the flames. I don't think there's ever any PTFE near it, though. There do exist "non-stick" pizza peels, though, so someone could do that. The thing with peels on pizza stones is that their edges tend to grind down. I probably eat a miniscule amount of aluminum each time we make pizza.
> We can't write 'perfect' code today to build on in the future. We have no way of knowing what will be built on top until it's built!

We have a very good idea what will be built on top compared with the idea we had 20, 40, 60 years ago.

At some point we will just have to start from scratch.. again... and again. The frequency will decline tho.

I'll have to look into it. I was hoping to ride the official marvell kernel binaries because building from custom sources on armel would be a great inconvenience. Also not sure I'll be able to find 500kb to cut that the debian people couldn't carve out. I would have thought these QNAP devices would make out a large percentage of the armel install base. Grateful that armel is still officially supported, just crazy that 500kb of missing default flash partitions is blocking access to the dozens of gigabytes of official debian armel goodness.

I'll leave you with a quote.

“This is the great lesson the depressive learns: Nothing in the world is inherently compelling. Whatever may be really “out there” cannot project itself as an affective experience. It is all a vacuous affair with only a chemical prestige. Nothing is either good or bad, desirable or undesirable, or anything else except that it is made so by laboratories inside us producing the emotions on which we live. And to live on our emotions is to live arbitrarily, inaccurately—imparting meaning to what has none of its own. Yet what other way is there to live? Without the ever-clanking machinery of emotion, everything would come to a standstill. There would be nothing to do, nowhere to go, nothing to be, and no one to know. The alternatives are clear: to live falsely as pawns of affect, or to live factually as depressives, or as individuals who know what is known to the depressive. How advantageous that we are not coerced into choosing one or the other, neither choice being excellent. One look at human existence is proof enough that our species will not be released from the stranglehold of emotionalism that anchors it to hallucinations. That may be no way to live, but to opt for depression would be to opt out of existence as we consciously know it.”

A technological civilisation will be lucky to survive to 2040.
It is a missing part of the human condition and, especially it seems to me, the male human condition to strive for something. Especially when that something is as a group. It's the feeling, I imagine, we got as hunting mammoth, or raiding others and defending our own community, or exploring a new land with dragons around the corner.

We don't have that anymore and we are poorer for it.

Middleboxes are bad enough for the internet, but this makes them even worse.

Now I'm kind of wondering what would happen if you'd set up an attack that uses the infinite attack amplification vulnerability between two censorship regimes. Basically, have the Great Chinese firewall DDoS the Iranian censorship system. You could probably do some serious damage by saturating the links between the two countries!
The video is set private-- too bad, I'd love to see it.

We spend a lot of time watching the deer here and they have a multitude of extremely complex social behaviors. It's very obvious that the adults teach the children foraging patterns.

Including things like the descendants of a particular line of does knows how to direct their fawns into our fenced off courtyard where the adults can't fit and there are plenty of delicious planets-- but other deer don't do that with their fawns, presumably due to not having had the experience themselves as fawns.
Unfortunately your aggressiveness and rudeness make your comment of lower quality than the one you are answering - read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html to see what site rules you are breaking as well. Betting doesn't make your argument truer, it only points to your own irrationality.

Disclaimer: I am no mathematician nor physicist.

However the intuition is that any set of equations must be deterministic, unless they refer to a non-deterministic function like random(x).

Should you wish to argue that the three body problem can generate true randomness, I think it is your responsibility to refer to links that support your argument. I would expect an argument to refer to mathematical concepts and have nothing to do with the three body problem in particular. I suspect it verges on tautological that if you can define equations then it is deterministic.

To me that looks exactly how they had done a lot of the freezer stuff. Sure there was some CGI in there too. But most of it looked like classical camera effects (time lapsing, special lenses, etc) rather than computer generated assets.

> Eventually you are left relying on mere appearances. And of course that is rational.

No, I am relying on a prediction of appearances. If I predict an instrument will show blue I don’t need to go through anything below that level. It’s now on someone else to make a different prediction and show new evidence.

> Contrast these two cases:

There is zero difference between them 2 + 2 = 5! could be true. 2 + 2 = 4 could be true, or they could both be false and 2 + 2 = 7.629.

We define math as things that follow from initial assumptions. 2 + 2 alone doesn’t have a definite answer, it only has a specific answer in a specific context. We generally don’t need to list the underlying assumptions to build a chain like 2 + 2 = 2 + 1 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4, but that’s simply based on an assumed context.

> 3 Empirical theories which make testable predictions are more likely to be true than empirical theories which can't.

Again no, being testable has nothing to do with being correct. Suppose I come up with a theory that has absolutely no direct or indirect impact on anyone or anything ever. Why exactly should we care about it?

Anyway, moral intuition isn’t a sensory perception. If I say “camp fire” you might remember warmth but you can’t avoid actually freezing from remembering fire. Similarly ask a cannibal their moral intuition around eating people and you don’t get the same responses where everyone could actually be burned by an actual fire.

That is how most projects on GitHub are run. There is a bot that just closes issues after periods of inactivity. As if "not fixing the bug" can be considered as inactivity. Mostly in Kubernetes repositories I keep getting this "we are closing your issue, because we cba to solve it after 4 months" notifications.
I was a teen but I remember watching my dad work on one of the first video codecs and playing a small video on an even smaller square frame inside a tiny computer monitor and him telling me how this would be the future… his codec wasn’t the main stream we use today but he was right and it was definitely a gold rush / change the world feel. Later in the 2000s for me I carried that same feeling we worked our asses off and yeah it didn’t amount to much but we learned so much… in the 2010 it’s how I was able to go on the build my own software business… It’s why I believe hard work , dedicated and consistent work does yield results that are worth it

It would make it difficult to cram as much battery in as they do currently. The iPhone has L shaped batteries so they fit around the pcb.

I’m not convinced standardised batteries are required. The vast majority of people are using only a small number of phones. A battery store could easily stock the batteries for every iPhone model. The real problem is how hard it is for the average person to replace them.

> There have always been rich travelers.

It's surprising how untrue this is. Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo were really outstanding exceptions, but even they were within the past millennium; from the dawn of human history 2 million years ago until the advent of metal money around 3000 years ago, there was no way to be a rich traveler, because wealth, to the extent that it could be accumulated at all, was not portable. It took the form of land and livestock. If you were a traveler at all, you lived by the hospitality of the people in the lands you visited, who could also kill you without fear of repercussions if they felt like it, and very likely would if they thought you were stealing their deer or their millet. You had no way to pay them; your granary deposit receipts from Ur were of no value in Egypt, and vice versa.

So there have only been rich travelers for the latest 0.15% of human history. But if you are shortsighted enough I guess that might seem almost the same as "always".

I'd put the number of digital nomads at probably tens of thousands. We founded coworking in part in order to make digital nomadism possible.

The reason there was a TP "shortage" in the US is everyone started hoarding it. There really wasn't a shortage, it was just idiots taking advantage of the situation to resell {masks, TP, lysol, sanitizer} to other people on ebay at 10x the cost.

If the government had some guts they would put their foot down, personally go to every single one of those ebay sellers' homes, throw them in jail, and then restrict sales of all of the above products to a generous and reasonable amount per person with government ID required to purchase. Problem would have been solved.

But our government is too chicken to do that.
