Indeed. The way I see it, wokeness and religion seem to be two sides of the same coin
These things tend to have economies of scale and tipping points, once you lose the economy of scale and/or reach certain tipping points then suddenly operating a gas station will end up being unprofitable unless you charge a huge amount per liter/gallon and then there are even fewer people that will gas up. Once you get into a feedback loop like that the end can come quite quickly. Ironically, the developing countries will likely reach that point much later than the developed world, so maybe those Ferrari's will have their ultimate destination in unexpected places. That would be kind of funny. More likely though they will just be what they are today as well: signs of conspicuous consumption rather than to be driven. And for that purpose they may as well sit in their heated garages just like they do today. Typically those cars have < 30K on the odometer, it is pretty rare to see one that is in use as a daily driver and when they are the bills to keep them running are quite heavenly.

A friend of mine has an F12, he was very happy with it, right up to his first major service and then he could count out how much that car costs per kilometer driven. That's before you get into little details like depreciation. He's not quite as happy with it today, but likely if he holds on to it for a while he'll sell it with a profit anyway, over the longer term they tend to gain in value.

Yep! I'd love to see something like this in Java, but it's unlikely, probably for the usual runtime type erasure reasons. Exceptions can be implemented in this way, and would strike a nice balance in doing so.
Very often it is just not possible to truly understand code without comments (or other form of documentation). This becomes obvious if you realize that code by itself can only tell you what is being done, but not why.
For it being called hacker news this place is very conventional. It’s better than /r/programming though.

And it's not like Apple waltzes in and just stuffs all the RAM that's lying around into a shopping cart. One of their uses of their cash reserves is to pre-commit to buying the components they need far in advance.

In principle, it seems to me that this shouldn't be causing component shortages — on the contrary, it should reduce planning uncertainty for component manufacturers.
Not within the confines of agile scrum sprints and multiple attached rituals. Senior sysadmins also would refuse to do the free labour thing.
I don't understand business as well as I would like to, but I wonder if these companies are sensing how much trouble they'll have keeping drivers if they can become collateral damage in social oppression. I'm not used to seeing these taxi companies offer potentially a fortune's worth of services to any of their drivers, but this law is unusually reckless, even by (de facto) abortion ban standards.
It’s not a shortage it’s called inflation
Dang how is my flagged comment above (the 2.parent comment of above comment) justified, when I merely explained the motivation of another commenter?
No certainly not. I would say that common carrier regulation should be reserved for things which behave like utilities, especially if there are very few comparable players in the market. The precedent would be something like the railroads: if you want to move freight, your options are quite limited, and your business might live or die depending on access to the rail system, so rail providers are not allowed to pick favorites as this would give them undue influence on the economy as a whole.

I think it should be fairly simple to draw a common-sense distinction between small business and the tech-giants which gate keep the internet. If you are not allowed to host your site on the server in my basement, nobody is going out of business because of that. If you cannot use AWS, GCP and Azure, there's a significant possibility your business will not be able to survive in today's market.

To counter your analogy, if I am the CEO of one of the largest mobile carriers in the country, and I believe you hold unacceptable opinions, should I be able to deny you access to my network and prevent you from making phone calls?
Probably a good idea not to threaten to take guns away from Texans, if you want to hold public office in Texas.

You have to be competent though, which is too high a bar for the majority of people who want to change things.
Thank you for your kind words!

WorldQL uses Postgres under-the-hood to store permanent information. I was inspired by companies like TimescaleDB which build new functionality on top of Postgres’s rock-solid base.

Any high-availability solution for Postgres will also be available for WQL.

One flourist (russian one) told me that even number of flowers are for funerals, because the word "чётный" - even number - has the same root as "сочтены" (дни) - days are counted.

Probably it's similar in other Slavic languages.
Gas prices?

It’s supply and demand. Prices fall if there is a surplus.
How rational of them!
It was just a joke.
I think it is perhaps a function of the way we train ourselves to be workers that passively accept tasks to occupy our attention. Much of school and many jobs provide anywhere from a drip to a torrent of regular units of work for us to focus on, and this occupies a huge part of time and training.

In the past, we used to criticize television for its passive, zombifying effect on the viewer. Games are more engaging. In truth, people like being actively engaged, and they are very accustomed to being actively engaged without the cumbersome work of directing their own activity.

Completing complicated tasks is, in a way, relatively easy. Defining tasks, reflecting on priorities, and allocating time to work on them--and importantly, suffering the emotional consequences of real world success or failure--is sometimes less pleasant. Games are maximally engaging and minimally taxing. That is their magic.
Yeah, but the amount is what I commented on. At the time of writing, if I remember correctly there was hardly another type of comment to be found.
I think everybody is getting it wrong.

As Italian (and Ferrari fan, but that's another story) what really matters for Ferrari (and ~~Lamborghini~~ Maserati) is that they aren't mass produced, they are not an industrial product (most of them are assembled by hand) and - most of all - all of the parts are produced in Italy!

What the minister is saying is that if Ferrari can't build autonomously their own batteries - from scratch - they can't produce a real Ferrari.

Of course this is different from buying batteries from a supplier and strapping them in a mass produced car, assembled by machines.

It has nothing to do with rich people or taxes, it's just a matter of bootstrapping an entire industry from the ground up.

Of course Ferrari knows how to build electric engines, it's completely out of touch to think that one of the leading car producer in the World in terms of know how can't do what BYD does (Ferrari is the only F1 team that still manufactures all of the components of their car from the engine to the chassis and everything else)

edit: Maserati, not Lamborghini.
NTFS is shit. Ext4 is better in every single way, _especially_ performance. Ditch the Windows shit if you can.
does training data need a permissive license, or is sharing the training data the issue? honestly, im surprised there hasnt been a bigger fuss over data and who really owns it. maybe in 25-50 years we'll collectively bemoan how everyone was taken for a ride.
Sure, but the initial assertion was that only the client was open source which is clearly false, so I was refuting that. I did not speak the the FOSS nature of the software.
Can Kei Cars meet the USA's collision safety requirements although? Part of the reason why cars are beefier is collision safety regulations.
Java is remarkably efficient already. I’d bet you won’t get an order of magnitude improvement.
For materials you can use syft https://github.com/anchore/syft
I believe the argument from GitHub is that using public code as training data for machine learning falls under fair use [1]. If something is found to be fair use then (as far as I understand) copyright does not apply at all, and hence terms in the license do not make a difference. It is not clear whether this argument will stand up if tested in court (fair use is an affirmative defense, so something cannot actually definitively be said to be fair use until someone is accused of copyright violation and a judge rules that it actually is fair use).

That said, at the very least it seems like it would be rude to include code in the training data if the developer has expressly said they don't want that.

[1] From their FAQ: "Training machine learning models on publicly available data is considered fair use across the machine learning community."
It's probably using some twisted justification like saying that abortions cause harm to society as a whole, and that gives any member of society standing.
Centralised forges mean we can't really “just fork”. That worked when you got code from your friends-of-friends, so they could just give you the fork instead of the “original”, but now? How do you even find the current latest fork?
One issue that people brought up is that “curation” (or moderation even) is not really possible with a “carrier”-type hosting platform, but I think that specialized or niche forums are a good thing.

On the other hand, it is clear that heavy handed suppression is not good either, especially when all major platforms do that.

Is it possible to have both alternatives available somehow?
The snarky replies are because people are interpreting your questions as challenging and ignoring obvious context. So, they’re trying to shut you down.

A less snarky response:

> do you have more information on this, or perhaps why it is a pillar?

Christianity is referring to Jesus Christ (not his actual name). He was a religious figure and publicly executed. The story of his life, execution and what happens after (resurrection and ascension) are central to Christianity. This is what makes his death a “pillar”. The religions is built on it, like a building is supported with pillars.

> Do other religions not have something similar in their [historical/current] practices?

The “not” in your question implies that it this question is opposed to your last question. That a public death can’t be a pillar of Christianity if it’s in other religions. This is not the case. Something doesn’t have to be unique to be a pillar. Asceticism and isolation are pillars of monastic Zen. They are also pillars of Shipibo shamanism.

So, yes, lots of other public sacrifices. Point still holds.
Do people still know about upx these days? However, I think executable compression is besides the point of OP. Around 18 years ago, I was going through the codebase of a program I maintained as a Debian package, and as a udeb for the installer. Back then, I was trying to make it small enough to fit on the first floppy. I learnt about unnecessarily large datatypes in structs, packing, padding and alignment, and that adding "static" to module-local functions and data can really do things to the binary size. These times are over. Nobody cares about binary sizes anymore, the main argument against doing so is "we cant be bothered, we need to innovate."
I’m not sure ethnic change translates into progressive social policies. Latino immigrants tend to be socially conservative. (This is why Republicans hyperventilating about immigrants changing the political landscape should calm themselves down and Democrats shouldn’t take anything for granted.)

SV immigrants probably a lot more socially progressive.
Sounds like it only needs a few seconds of your time each day to keep track of your daily chores, which is perfect. I like the simplicity. I wish I'd had this when I was working in an agency where I had to track what I was doing every 15 minutes in order to bill my work adequately to clients. Will check your app out, thanks!
It's a reference to the eighth amendment: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
> I thought theft is depriving someone of something they own...

Semantics really matter indeed. What does "to own" means for you? To have it on your person? To have it in your bank account? To hold it with your hands?

Turns out it is much more complicated than that and none of these conditions are neither necessary nor sufficient. You should look up the bundle of rights definition of private property to see how complicated it gets. The moment you contractually are entitled to that money, but deprived of your right of exercising your agency over it, you're being deprived of your property too, hence the appropriateness of the term "theft".

> if you intended to pay a debt, but later refuse to, then you pay it back with some interest

Only if you agreed to this contractually (or whatever ambient legal context defines the terms otherwise). "But I was gonna pay interest on it" is not a defense of delinquency. It is like I can steal your TV and say "I was gonna return it back, with a smaller TV on the side". You can't deprive people of their bundle of property rights (e.g. right of access and use) willy nilly.

> Otherwise everyone who declines to make a payment on their credit card bill would also be a thief.

Terms of this is very clearly defined on your credit card agreement; you are in delinquency of that missed pay indeed, hence the consequences of penalty payments, credit score impact and so forth.
I use C because I think that it is good (some improvements could be made, but the other programming languages which try to make C better tend to make many things worse in my opinion; I like many (but not all) of the features of (Digital Mars) D, though). I think that the worst feature of C is the confusing syntax for types. (Maybe the way to make a better one might be like "LLVM with macros", although there are a few problems with LLVM too.)

Some compilers and libraries, such as GNU, do have some improvements. For example, in GNU you can make zero-length arrays (which I use sometimes), ?: without anything in between (which I use often), and some other things.

They say there is no object-oriented programming in C. Well, C doesn't have object-oriented features, although you can still do some limited object-oriented stuff in cases where it is useful. For example, there is the stream object (called FILE); GNU has a fopencookie function to write your own implementation of the stream interface too, even though standard C doesn't have that.

Object-oriented programming is good for some things but too often is overused in modern programming, I think. You shouldn't need object-oriented programming for everything.

It is true that some of the undefined behaviour stuff is too confusing and perhaps should be changed; in some cases the compiler has options to control these things, such as -fwrapv (which I often use).

I like the string handling of C; you can easily skip some from the beginning, and can sometimes use the string functions with non-text data too, and it doesn't use Unicode.

It says "C lets you take the address of any variable you like", but this is not quite true. There is a "register" command which means that you cannot take the address of something.

I think that many things in C (both things that they mention and some that they don't) (including pointer arithmetic, no bound checking, untagged unions, string handling, not using Unicode, setjmp/longjmp, etc) are often advantages of C.
Agreed. Nationalize the rails, invest in and enforce PTC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_train_control), and make passenger traffic a peer to freight.

We could allow for a "market economy" of the rails where you could have differentiated passenger services with Amtrak being the the fundamental offering and allow third parties to participate as well.
To induce mental disease via the internet. That might be a thing now. It may already be happening to millions of people.

That's a really big deal.

We switched to vaultwarden from a much older Java+Flash based credential manager where I work, and I gotta say it's pretty good. It's a little weird the way accounts work from our perspective, but it makes sense given where it came from. And it's a distributed as a docker container, so it's pretty easy to deploy. Had to write a script to translate the old manager's export format into something vaultwarden could import, but it does have a lot of other managers' formats built in.
Why would Texas introduce this law when it helps Biden in a major way to suppress the bad Afghanistan press?

Like clockwork, the outrage ball is now in the court of the Republicans again. I guess it's up to Biden again to do something bad to keep the theater going.
Like in the real estate market right now in a lot of places in the US
For those confused like me never having heard of Vaultwarden, it is what bitwarden_rs was renamed to.
I mean, the answer there is "it varies" and "it depends". Probably something around 3-5 weeks. If you need a precise number to feel ok about the situation, the colloquial meaning is going to be enough to tell you you shouldn't work there. I get what you're asking for, but you're essentially just complaining that it's not Static Days PTO, which is a fine opinion to have, but going "I don't think X is clear because it's not Y instead" isn't really a thing.

You can dislike what is meant by "Unlimited PTO" and the fact that it's not clear on how many days you can take off, but that doesn't mean it's unclear what Unlimited PTO entails.

If anyone knows, why were the tsunami height estimates off so much? The actual heights were 2-4x larger than anticipated.
Using rollback is surprisingly popular in games. For example, CSGO servers will rollback if a client fires a shot at a player ducking around a corner, and on the shooter's screen the shot lands, but on the other players screen they had dodged the bullet - the server will "rewind" and say the shot hit.
With WoW they would obviously run each continent as an independent “instance”, but for Wrath, they clearly had multiple servers handling Northrend. There were places where mobs would not path over which was where the two “instances” would overlap.

WoW later introduced a kind of dynamic overlay of the same open world area from two realms where it was not very populated in the area so that players would be more likely to actually see other players.

There was also a feature where you could party up with a friend on a different realm and you would transparently be playing on their server in the open world (with restrictions like not being able to trade with them).

I haven’t played WoW since Mysts, so I don’t know how it’s changed since, but WoW was definitely more complicated than just sharding and instancing.
interesting, I'll send that to our dev team. BTW - you can suggest these things on Kubescape page @ Github and see status etc.

Kei cars are death traps and I don't think the US would accept going back to gruesome, brutal car wrecks as the norm.

as far as big consumptive engines, Kei Cars consume around 3-4 Liters/100km

a prius is not that much worse at 4.4 L/100km

It's all kind of moot anyway with EVs coming.
This law is insane. So say I'm an Uber driver, woman gets into my car and I take her to Whole Foods for example. Two weeks later I get court papers saying that I'm getting sued for aiding in an abortion because the woman crossed the street and went to the abortion clinic instead of Whole Foods.

I don't see how this could possibly hold up in court.

I appreciate the information. You're missing the point though. The species being of latin origin is irrelevant. Synchronicity is acausal. The connection is relevant, not a shared cause.
It shouldn't be? Maybe I'm missing something, but shortages in factorio normally just flow through the chain without any amplification. There's no planner deciding to order extra to make up for last time or deciding to cut down excess inventory when there's less demand. Or to put it another way, all the buffers in a factorio factory stay the same size and the demand is always just trying to fill the buffer. This whiplash effect is caused by dynamic buffer sizes.
The bad Afghan press will have absolutely zero impact on the midterms, much less the 2024 general. This is a MUCH more significant issue here at home. Easy decision for the press to move it to the front page.

And Abbott is a terrible politician and knows that even moderates hate him. He's don't everything he can to get every Trump voter on his side.
You are not the customer though, but coworkers, and most probably in different departments with opposite goals and priorities.
