It does not work like that, you are making the claim not me. You have to show the evidence.
the apps preinstalled I can't remove that send notifications is exactly why I won't get a samsung phone either. I had an s7 (edge which sucked to use one handed because of accidentally hitting things on the curved edge) and all the samsung stuff on there that I had to deal with was a pain and the ass and impacted battery life (because it improved once I removed most of it).

I went to pixel phones and never looked back.
Subsidies are very different from micromanagement. Also, the US is not even the top country when it comes to agri subsidies.

I did notice that - even though I'm using a pixel 3a now I'm waiting for full reviews and some understanding of why they embargoed the phone reviews before deciding to buy.
A project from the creators of Looker. From the docs [1]:

> Malloy was designed by a team of people with a lot of experience in understanding the task of extracting meaning from data. Years of constant exposure to SQL resulted in a tremendous sense of wonder at the power of SQL ... and a tremendous source of frustration at how bad SQL is at representing the types of operations needed to get meaningful data out of relational databases, and how difficult it is to maintain and extend a complex set of transformations written in SQL.

> Malloy started as a "clean slate" thought experiment, if we knew all the things we know about data, and about programming with data, and about programming languages in general, and we were designing a query language today, what would it look like.

> In it's earliest form, Malloy looked a lot like SQL, and much of Malloy continues to be influenced by the overall design of the SQL language. It was always the intention that there could be a document that would contain both Malloy and SQL and those would make sense together, perhaps parallel to the way Javascript and Typescript work together.

This statement resonates a lot with me. The VSCode plugin already looks fairly built out, and there's a native BigQuery integration.

I can certainly agree on the first three, pipes I’m not all for. Just seems like another way to skin a cat that is less readable (to me at least).

Functions being even on there is laughable. “I have 0 familiarity with the language but I must give my opinion!!!”

And sanity… sanity is last on the list.

No idea really, not sure I've done anything GPU-heavy on Ubuntu.
Well, if you really want to strip all unwanted components, take a look at WinGet. Everything (by everything, I mean everything) is just a winget uninstall away
In practice pipes actually work in the opposite direction, the one you like: they allow people to break down nested expressions. Pipes allow the language to report granular line numbers and you can do error handling in them, if it’s functional (not if you need try catch of course).

While I’ve been on the team pushing for pipes and for the Hack variant, I do appreciate that there are many instances where giving an expression a name is helpful.

This is a tool that comes with great responsibility. My hope is that people will learn how to use it. It’s worth it imho the added language complexity.

> What there isn't is commercial motivation to do so

Yes, is what my comment I about. Commercial motivation (aka "pay me") is exactly what we need, and what we don't have.

> If the Linux commnunity could stop with the idea that people who want easy to use software are inferior

You must be confusing the Linux community with the Linux subreddit or ricing forums. Or you have lost checked the community vibes some 17 years ago. There's certainly no such thing happening broadly today. We want easy to use software, because that means we can get our parents and grandparents off of Windows.

> there's certainly enough combined elbow grease gone into Linux software over the past decade to fix suspend/resume or audio playing or multiple screens of different DPI

No, definitely not enough. There's no fundamental reason (beyond X11 weirdness - which may get replaced by a heavily reworked Wayland in this hypothetical scenario - but I digress) why suspend, audio, multi-monitor and power modes cannot work on Linux as well as they do on Windows. Suspend, multi-monitor and power modes are things that frequently rely on quirky hardware modes and there's no substitute to fixing that other than documentation and manpower.

Audio is better - pipewire seems to be the bringer of much-needed change, and I can actually connect to a Bluetooth headset in A2DP mode almost reliably. This was unthinkable a decade ago.

> and spending their combined developer efforts on making hundreds of new Linux distributions and media players and text editors

1) Explain how the development of new text editors seems to be talking up a significant chunk of available volunteer manpower? Even Emacs and vim couldn't possibly take up such a large chunk of the available manpower, since they are hard to even use and let alone hack on.

2) "hundreds of Linux distributions" is a myth and has been one for a very long time. The fact of the matter is that nearly every new user only needs to try three major distros: Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Fedora. If they are very picky, add another four to the list. If they don't care, pick one for them and they won't complain.

3) not enough "combined developer efforts" is the problem - and could be solved with funding for specific goals, like the Asahi Linux project did to get Linux working on M1 silicon.

You under estimate the effects of confirmation bias. It's easy to dismiss one news article when the rest are an echo chamber for your political beliefs. To question the accuracy of a site that agrees with you means you must question your beliefs, too.
I've only ever had Nexus and Pixel phones, and I've purchased most of the releases, starting with the original T-Mobile G1, which, along with the 6P, will have a special place in my heart.

I finally switched to Samsung S20 last year, and my wife to OnePlus 8T. They were more expensive, but we got better hardware and noticeably better battery life.

On the software side, the Samsung S20 is not only bloated, but buggy. The keyboard likes to die once in a while, so there's just no keyboard unless I reboot the phone. There is way too much in that phone. It's like someone said Yes to every idea that was uttered in meetings. It also likes to kill background processes very aggressively, which sometimes affects Google Maps navigation and casting to Chromecast. On the flip side, Samsung has this software (Link?) that lets you use the phone from a Windows computer and it works very well. The touch screen is very sensitive and the screen has these slightly raised round edges, so sometimes grabbing the phone sends touch events which is fairly annoying.

I was pleasantly surprised with the OnePlus. Little bloat, compared to Samsung, hardware is very solid, didn't notice any glaring software issues, no weird stuff. I'm not sure how open it is to flashing another ROM, but to me it feels like a higher end Nexus phone.
These might be issues that take humanity millennia. Remember, the universe became conscious in the form of humans, we have time to figure this out :)
In researching translations of the Lunyu of Kongzi (Analects of Confucius), I learned that such an approach is the norm for commentators on Chinese texts. They are having a conversation with the author and it may veer into other topics.

It's been many years, but my notes say that this paper was helpful:

Alice W. Cheng, "The Master's Voice: On Reading, Translating and Interpreting the Analects of Confucius", The Review of Politics, Notre Dame. Vol 62, Issue 03, Summer 2000; pp 563-582. DOI: S0034670500041693

We printed 40% of all dollars ever printed last year. (!!!) I’m sure the EU copied that motion as did others.

So they are going to invade with just unprotected troops and no other hardware? No armour. No artillery strikes on Taiwan - the farthest hitting artillery is only 43.5 miles; according to Google, by the US Army ironically. Are they going to re-supply the invasion force via inflatable rafts too?

In the worst case, the missiles can be adapted for anti-personnel use with cluster munition warheads to shower the battlefield with shrapnel - which should be pretty effective against troops not protect by armour.
But isn't a fundamentally different type of computation? A type of computation that might be faster even at lower density?

Ask HN: Do you refuse to work for certain companies or industries?
I'm a Software Developer, and like many Software Developers I often get approached by recruiters on LinkedIn and over the phone about jobs.

Today I was approached about a job with Rio Tinto, the miner who knowingly and deliberately blew up Juukan Gorge, the only inland site in Australia with evidence of continuous human occupation for over 46,000 years, including through the last Ice Age. (the importance of this site cannot be overstated - it would be comparable to a mining company knowingly and deliberately blowing up the Cosquer, Lascaux or Chauvet Caves in France, the ones with ~30 000 year old stone age paintings in them - imagine the outrage that would cause)

You hardly need to be some kind of bleeding heart activist to not want to even consider working for an organization like that.

Do you refuse to work for certain companies or industries? Why, or why not?

I should mention I'm no saint myself! I work in the travel industry and ask myself to what degree I enable massive CO2 emissions for people's leisure, wasteful businesses having in person meetings that they probably don't need to etc etc.

From the title mentioning "rave-y 90s project" and Mortal Kombat, I had assumed this would be about the legendary Belgian New Beat group Lords of Acid... they were contracted to create the companion soundtrack for the video game [1], including the theme song which was featured in the film / film soundtrack [2]. This was all done using an alias/side-project The Immortals, likely due to their main output as Lords of Acid containing rather extreme content.

Sadly only a passing mention in this article, but I'm sure there's an interesting story somewhere as to how that came to be!

That’s not even close to how it used to work.

Say you have a truck governed at 68mph which means you can log an average of 65mph without raising any eyebrows. So what we would do is log the miles you drove/65 and not the actual time you drove.

Or, how I used to run, keep your logbook behind so you can backfill the driving hours and breaks so you can eventually be legal again — usually at a shipper or receiver you could catch up as they commonly would keep you there for 6-8 hours. What’s the buzzword, eventually consistency?

Not even mentioning “loose leaf” logbooks where one could rewrite whole days to gain hours.

Those days are long gone now…

At my first job we had an home made CalDAV server. One feature is the Free/Busy letting people ask for other people availability. Once you try to handle 'exceptions to recurring calendar events with a side of timezones and DST' you know why you should use existing libraries.
> simple vanilla financial contracts

the thing is, that used to be the case a long time ago. But it's insufficient, as increasing complexity of the modern world demands more complex financial products. I don't see them as wrong at all - after all, no one is forced to enter into these contracts, and those who do obviously see a benefit. That's why they proliferated after all.

These financial products are like Chesterton's Fence :

Switching/routing usually requires significant information processing (e.g. decode packet header, match destination address against routing tables, etc.). This necessitates 10k or more gates. All-optical computing can't deliver this level of integration density, nor the performance at reasonable power levels.

Maybe there will be some smart way to pre-encode routing information onto packets to reduce processing requirements, but I doubt that such a network could scale.
Are you aware of the requirements needed to be a licensed, bonded electrician? In my state you need at least 4000 hours of training bare minimum, higher tier licenses require more. This usually entails getting average pay for very dull work, for 2-4 years. Then you need tools, insurance, a vehicle (usually a diesel truck with lock boxes on the sides here), and a reliable employer. If you're starting your own small company and training others, that's a bit of a gamble as well.

Also, most electricians make more money doing new construction, especially condo or apartment buildings. You're getting charged that much because they could have made the same amount of money (or a bit less) putting those hours towards a bigger, longer term project. As someone who works in a skilled trade, I can guarantee they just didn't think your project was important or worth it (and they're right). They see someone who can afford an electric car, and they know what it's worth to you to charge it.

But hey, you could always just google it, do it yourself and hope the inspector doesn't notice. What's the worst that could happen?
It's a bit disappointing that ARM v8.3-v8.5 has some security features that aren't available in even this custom SoC (PAC/BTI/MT), and they would still help with a JIT. The size increase on the 6 from the 5 is also :(.

How did we ever get to a place where you needed a prescription to buy hearing aids in the first place? Was there a bunch of hearing aid junkies knocking over liquor stores to get another hearing aid fix?

We need a ground-up reassessment of the whole concept of prescriptions. If it doesn't present a systemic risk it should be over the counter. If everyone over-uses antibiotics we might all die. Fine. But if some goober misuses blood pressure medicine, they can only hurt themself. Let people buy albuterol inhalers without permission. It's going to be fine.
You're right that there could be multiple things which separately explain the things that dark matter explains (not just the two you listed, but the others as well: gravitational lensing, galaxy cluster motion, etc). But the strength of the dark matter model is that it can explain all of these phenomena; which is why most physicists prefer dark matter over other theories. It's very easy to come up with a theory which explains a single phenomena, but very hard to come up with one that simultaneously explains multiple phenomena.

> Personally, and for many people I know, cramming was not necessary because we had a conceptual understanding - maybe a week or two of doing 2-3 a day and you would be set.

Apologies for being pedantic about word use but that time commitment is longer than what's normally meant by cram. Traditionally a cram would be up to a day or two of hard work before exams. What you outlined would just be study (an even larger barrier).

> Anything you do in an interview is going to be an artificial signaling value. I think LC is a much better signal than the talk-out-your-ass approach you seem to favor, and I've done both sorts of interviews.

I prefer the talk out your ass approach personally, but maybe with a detour to asking the candidate to describe something technically challenging they worked on. If the interviewer is fast their your feet and the candidate is skilled at explaining then you can go reasonably deep. After this the interviewer can usually weigh the talk-out-your-ass claims accordingly.

> The difference is also pretty obvious in the quality of your peers based on what sort of interviews your firm does.

Our firm (fast growing series a startup) struggles with this, so take all of the above with a grain of salt. Our problems seem to be more related to not being able to generate a large enough talent pool, not with inaccuracies cherry picking candidates. We hire about ~25% of genuine applicants and find our main problems post hiring are if they are willing to take initiative and be self directed.
The government can't even raise the debt ceiling or collect taxes from people who are flagrantly not declaring income. Crypto skeptics always have this image in their mind where the government finally steps up and stops the country from going full Snow Crash.

Let's say Biden tomorrow actually came out and said "enough malarkey, we're banning crypto". What do you think are the actual chances of Congress passing that legislation of the GOP-dominated SCOTUS from upholding those laws. At least half the politicians in this country actively want to see the federal government go through a financial crisis (particularly when the opposite team holds the White House.)

Crypto skeptics point to Executive Order 6102 but ignore the fact that Biden is no FDR. If we actually had a strong executive, like LBJ, Nixon or even GWB post-9/11 I'd agree. Crypto's playing loose with the rules and basically taunting the US Treasury to play whack-a-mole. But this country's so polarized and dysfunctional that we'll never have a strong executive again in our lifetime.
I was squarely on the decriminalize camp but as with everything, life tends to give you more perspectives.

The ethical calculus appears to be more complicated than the straightforward 2 consenting adults engaged in a victimless crime.

Consider the current rates of single mothers, the increasing trends of broken homes and higher divorce rates, one is forced to really examine what is under the belly of this beast.

Is there causality, or not?

Do kids pay the price from easier access to family breakups? Do these side deals even lead to breakups at all, or were they just serve to speed up the inevitable ?

I would like to understand if there is a way to estimate the impact of any broad change in policy.

Thing do bode well in one respect: AFAIK, decriminalizing marijuana in portugal led to less drug abuse.

This is what worries me - it feels a lot like the Cultural Revolution in slow motion (although arguably that too took place in slow motion). Any ideas outside the one approved idea set are treated as heretical. And those who espouse such views are not worthy of visibility or acceptance or power. Isn’t this exactly what authoritarian societies demand? Why is it excusable or normalized when authoritarianism is decentralized or implemented via powerful private organizations.
