That is better, but it doesn't negate my point that for non-tech-nerds, that announcement video of the new OS is pretty droll.

I think my point is more along the lines that Linux people overestimate regular folk's interest in specs and details. But that isn't a winning strategy in the real world. Apple doesn't say how many megapixels their cameras have, or how many GBs of RAM their phones have, or the CPU clock speed, or the modem version - and the specs they do give, they don't advertise them out loud. Has Apple ever announced that we have a 2000xSomething OLED display in huge letters? No, it's a "Liquid Retina XDR" display and that's all most people need to know. If you really care, it's in the specs sheet.

That's also not counting the actually embarrassing parts of this release. You just got a Camera app? In 2021, where phones are all about Cameras, you only got an out-of-the-box Camera app just now? (Maybe there was a camera app earlier - but the release video implies the camera app is all-new and wasn't there before.)

And despite not advertising specs - they sell just fine. If Apple got overly technical, they might sell less because it's confusing.
> You can't have a complex technical project that is successful without some minimum level of competency. For better or worse, competency often makes people a little rougher around the edges.

This is just nonsense. Plenty of intelligent and capable people are perfectly friendly and non-toxic.

Your philosophy demonstrably doesn't work. Its failures are so obvious that even Linus Torvalds, who people always seem to bring up in these conversations, has repudiated it[0].

> And, in fact, some people contribute a _negative_ amount overall. Which is to say, the project is better off without their participation.

This is true. Toxic people aren't worth the effort to keep them in, no matter how good their skilled contributions are. There can and should be a way to remove them.

My father had a mid-life crisis in the mid-90s and went from being an apocalyptic end-times Christian to being an apocalyptic environmentalist.

The dress, fashion, and lingo of the nutbags that hung out at my house changed, but their personality characteristics and complete inability to engage in multivariate analysis of reality was identical.

Radical ideologues and radical religious fundamentalists are, for me, 2 sides of the same coin. And both have a tendency to turn the movements they claim to represent into caricatures of themselves.

Apocalyptic environmentalists have moved beyond a certainty of the problem of climate change to a certainty on THE ONE AND ONLY SOLUTION, which is a radical reduction in standard of living in the industrialized world being the answer.

My father was never able to do anything beyond simple algebra. He thinks in terms of stories and narratives. He won't listen to my brother or myself when we try to actually talk to him about numbers and reality and whatnot, saying we are too young to know anything. But minutes later in the same conversation, he will start talking about how wonderful Greta Thunberg is. For him, it's all emotion and feeling and "doing something".

It's fucking unbearable, and my siblings and I are at a point where we avoid visiting him at his home, because he just won't stop parroting deranged talking points. His friends will frequently be there, and the constant one-upping of them with various moral posturing is nauseating.
I’m almost afraid to ask but... how long ago did this happen?
US lawmakers can't even take on robocallers and spammers, so I don't have much faith in their ability. When they are willing to actually impose harsh criminal liability on companies and employees like they do for citizens, then things like this won't be an issue.
This sort of cynicism is confusing. Bringing attention to an issue is an obvious component of enacting legislation when there are many different topics competing for that attention in the legislature.

If it was a resolution passed by the full house calling on Amazon to be nice guys, well then okay, be as cynical as you want about that.
Look, its all very simple, "firmware that is not normally changed is ethically equivalent to circuits" https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/applying-free-sw-criteria.htm...

Ya, monitors and hard drives all have very complicated firmware too. It is very simple, it is not denying you a freedom which is unethical to deny. FSF is not saying: it's totally great and fine, I'm sure the FSF will be happy to promote any of those devices if they have free firmware in them, celebrating them as more free. It's the same reason they focus on software and not on hardware designs.
I've never run a marathon and probably never will but I've walked 20 miles several times at a slow pace and never thought it was that hard.

While under reporting is possible, please stick to the actual data.

That data was in the intro. The study itself had a drop out rate that surprised me, about half the participants.

Conclusion, better studies needed. Also conclusion, did not support the original point.
The compiler literally checks what GitHub org originated the package. If you fork a package that uses FFI, it won't work unless you remove the check from the compiler or use a hacky workaround to trick the compiler: https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/770071accf791e817144070...
"just telling you what their decision already is"

That's not the only thing that they did. As the Russian saying goes, 'if you said A, say B'. I'd have no problem with the message 'We are resigning because we had a conflict with a certain team and it didn't get resolved in our way', but they have said more, just enough to make a public accusation without any chance for the accused party to refute it.

Great list, thanks for sharing.
This[1] Pew Research article shows that, pre-pandemic, it was about a 50-50 split between car-centric + low-density and walkable + high-density living. It is now 60-40 due to the pandemic. I would bet that it goes back to 50-50 in a few years once the pandemic slows down.

So yes, there's almost an equal amount of demand for this type of housing.

My comment was more in the sense of wanting to extend third-party templates, but yeah, if you don't need to touch them you should be fine as well.

It's definitely Linux. They upstream everything they can: https://puri.sm/posts/purism-and-linux-5-13/.
A lot of people make this case that you can go X distance without stopping. But that's completely impractical. There are many laws that regulate the trucking industry. For example you can only drive 11 hours consecutively, and then you're required to spend at least 10 consecutive hours not driving. There are also more rules about having to take breaks after a certain number of hours, and limits on number of hours per week they can work.

So if you're following the law, you will end up having to stop anyway. And as charging tech improves that stop will get shorter and shorter until it's no longer a concern. And again, once people see the economics of it and see how much money is being saved, they'll gladly trade off a little bit more time waiting for charging if necessary.
Well, we know it’s not zero. Several major contributors have cited it specifically as reasons they have quit or backed off.
> All in all, if you are financially stable or have a supportive safety net, it seems like a potentially good risk to take.

This is probably the biggest factor.

How long could you go without a regular paycheck? Personally, I could probably make my savings last a year, but that's only because I have a wife that makes enough to pay most of the bills herself if it came down to that.

But I imagine most people outside the HN bubble don't have that. The majority of Americans can't afford a sudden $1,000 expense. They can't just quit their job out of the blue.

Software is a diverse field! I've worked at pure software companies employing largely CS people; specialized technical software companies employing more mechanical/aerospace engineers; and in business-focused software companies employing people with non-traditional tech backgrounds.
That's funny, but it still doesn't stop me from feeding you a fake redirection to a legitimate email, which is what you should actually worry about. If you want to enforce a dystopian level of authenticity on your users, you should make a whitelist, not a blacklist. Coincidentally, you'd also be losing my patronage, but I suppose that's the cost of "progress" in web development.
Switch statements are not required to be exhaustive, but switch expressions are. I’d have to check but I think it was found that changing the exhaustiveness requirement would break too much source code. The compiler will still insert some some sort of default case because somebody might add to the enumerator, and it might be in a separate compilation unit.
I'll add Shellcoder's Handbook to the list. Great intro to compiler/language flaws for programmers who don't know much about software security (like me).
Your premise may hold true in the general sense but not in the specific. I don't think lobsters produce adrenaline. There may be some other hormone that has a comparable effect though
I usually take pictures with my iPhone. But I wish there were a simple way to use the photo app in a different way, to store these specific pictures in a different folder, etc, and separate them from regular photos.
It's becoming more and more clear to me that the underlying issue driving much of our current crises is that people think binary - it's either "climate apocalypse" or "let's burn all the fossil fuel". Same for the COVID mess, gun laws, critical race theory, take your pick. People are uncomfortable with nuance and since we basically have to pick the experts we trust we fall victim to the loudest and most exciting voice.
>Cars, rockets, missiles, planes, bombs , they all fall under the same umbrella of toys.

Well, I just decided that building an artificial heart or defeating Parkinson or Alzheimer's, curing diabetes, solving cancer are under the umbrella of hobbies. Why should people be so preoccupied with hobbies? Hobbies have their place but it seems silly to dedicate ones life on something as trivial as a hobby.
Obviously I was talking about "Black Lives Matter".
I was replying to someone who said the content of the resignation was a refusal to drag drama into the public. I did not say dragging it into public was a bad tactic for accomplishing their goals.

>you'd need to know every other piece of the story that lead to this point and lead them to feel that this public statement was their only remaining choice.

No I wouldn't. I will stand by my claim that they said more than necessary to raise the structural issues they perceive in Rust's governance. They very well may need to say more than that - or even more than they did say - to see their desired changes to the governance system enacted. Not what I was responding to.
Except the FBI probably won't make that mistake again. They'll wake up a judge and expedite the process,

Thanks for the suggestions. A few comments:

For 1) I am saving as much as I can, but definitely thinking of eating my savings is frightening. I already did that a few years ago where I used up all my savings to start a startup and nothing came out of it (monetarily, albeit I did got tons of experience), so doing that again feels paralyzing. Definitely aiming for, say, using up savings for at most 3 months (ideally).

For 2) that is an odd one, although I do understand the reasoning. I never really burn bridges when I leave beacause you never know what the future holds, and like I said, the people in this company are actually nice, so no issues there. I do find it weird to think about coming back because I am don't think things will change any time soon.

For 3) One of the things that makes me feel paralyzed is that after some 3-4 years in startups, and after doing my own for about 4 years, I feel like maybe a regular 9-5 is what I need. Of course, "the grass is greener on the other side" applies here, and that's why I find it hard to jump ship.

In any case, just hearing others' opinions does help and appreciate your thoughts on this. Also, definitely not taking it as professional advice so no worries :)
EJI has fought against the death penalty and taken sides on other partisan issues. I wouldn't call it a partisan organization myself, but I can see how someone could reasonably form that opinion.
Yesterday I went to Scranton for a comic book convention and saw something remarkable next door and found it was this.
Hmm, I think I see your point. So, for example, if most numbers were something like 0.1, 0.25, 3.25 and the like, they would take 4 bytes in most cases, whereas storing doubles would always take 8 bytes.

We don't want to take float32 because of the inherently bad precision of working with them, so storing as text is better.

Thanks for the explanation.
It is designed around pushing cars away from houses. The thing about walkable neighborhoods is that they’re nice to visit. If you live near one, those visitors will be near your home. To a suburbanite this is unacceptable.

Yes, when the authors found out. My point was that sample was in circulation for years back when the scene was underground and most of the artists sampling it would have taken that sample from other electronic artists rather than from the original Winstons vinyl.

I used to see this kind of thing happen all the time and not just the Amen break.
Yes, this is what I was talking about. Shame on me for thinking people wouldn't overlook the first three words of the banner. (:
Yes but may not be worth learning if it gets orphaned once the sugar daddies realize selling cloud service subscriptions to $2 sensors is a naff idea. A community could pick it up, but doesn't work every time with open but abandoned VC-ware.

Nothing comes close to the M1 when looking at the combination of performance, TDP, and die area.

M1 Pro has worse multi-threaded integer performance than a 5950, but better floating point performance. It does this in a 251mm^2 die vs a 286mm^2 die AND while most of the die is used up by the GPU.

M1 Max has the equivalent of GA104 tacked on to its 8 CPU cores (plus 2 little cores). AMD's equivalent would be a 5800H plus a Navi 22 mobile. Together, those would use more than double the power while being 100mm^2 larger.
FAA memo reveals more Boeing 787 manufacturing defects
Well I agree that trying to force everyone to a fixed schedule in time is not correct. If you divide your life into 20 or even ten year chunks, those are your batche sizes for endeavor. You are not the fixed product of one batch of applicants at one arbitrary point in your life.

What things are scarce? Human resources to teach, capital to start businesses, bandwidth, computing power, physical security and time are some things I can think of that are scarce to varying degrees.

I don't mind if I got shut out of the ivy league Lottery at 18 ad long as I can get what I need to succeed at 36 when I finally get my act together.

At 36 as a male I might still have 40 or 50 years ahead of me to work on one or more career projects.

To some extent we need to stop worrying so much about who gets the spoils of any given lottery and just try to make it possible for people to get more bites at the apple.

The biggest problem isn't weeding out false positives and keep them from sullying Caltech or Stripe. Within reason this is a non problem.

The real problem are the people with aptitude who never get educated and don't get time and physical security in enough amounts to train themselves up to be good candidates to win capital to start ventures that will help advance society.

Tldr False negatives worse than false positives to all you evil gatekeepers
Fair! Glad you found something that works.

Out of curiosity, Traefik has output caching ?
No, it's not common for vaccines. That's a myth. Only the flu vaccine. It depends on the complexity of the mechanism of entering human cells. If the complexity is simple, mutations are not likely to screw up that mechanism, and vaccines are quite short lived, like the seasonal flu. When the complexity is high, like measles, mutations have a much higher chance of screwing something up, so evolution is retarded and vaccines are effective for a lifetime.

This issue is being so pigheaded as to think that 16 billion vaccines can be created, deployed, and put in arms in a short enough time span to defeat a brand new, somewhat fast evolving virus before it selects to get around the vaccine.

It was never going to work.

I would explain what went wrong. It's clear that their organizational suggestions were prompted by a member of the core team doing something they consider terribly wrong - how can it be so bad the Rust community has to know about it yet not bad enough that the community needs to know what it was?
So set `X = "other Rust team members"`. Everything else in the comment was just for drama.

As part of the moderation team they're serving in a non-technical _role_, but they can and do play technical roles as well.
>I think for many developers with Linux experience, probably getting a reasonable NixOS desktop setup is straightforward.

I took this as an excuse to try NixOS myself and an opportunity to provide anecdata.

Previous Linux experience: Lots, including about 7 years of Gentoo use, some Arch and the usual distro hopping before that. Mostly on laptops (not counting VMs). Lately it's mostly been the BSDs so I'm a little lost.

It took me about 45 minutes from searching for their site to have a working XFCE install using their minimal install ISO with VirtualBox. Certainly a different experience, but with their install guide and searching "nixos xfce" you'll get it done.

Promptly rebooted and went for an encrypted ZFS root - less straightforward but after a few PEBKAC snags I got it up in an hour or two.

My immediate impression is that this is great but not being allowed to just

# which zsh >> /etc/shells

rubbed me the wrong way. Definitely something I'll consider using in the future, seems like a good fit for i.e. a VPS you might want to move easily.

Naturally I haven't learned the config language fully, but it seems easy enough if the docs aren't terrible.
I'll probably be branded a heretic but I like xml as a config format. As long as you keep it simple it's fine. I definitely prefer it over yaml. It's when people start xslt'ing their config file and make it turing-complete is when the problems start.
Or Network Solutions… which, dare I say, is even worse.
Hand-labelled training sets are expensive and time-consuming to create usually. Some datasets call for domain expertise (eg: medical/finance datasets etc). Given these factors around costs and inflexibility of hand-labelling, it would be nice if there are tools that can help us get started quickly with a minimal labelled dataset - enter weak supervision.

But what if you do not have any labelled data at all? is there a way to still label your data automatically in some way? That's where zeroshot_topics might be useful! to help you to be up and running quickly.

zeroshot_topics lets you do exactly that! it leverages the power of zero-shot-classifiers, transformers & knowledge graphs to automatically suggest labels/topics from your text data. all you need to do is point it towards your data.

I wonder how much this has to do with their being a Norwegian company. I have no idea what the expectations of customer service are over there. I'm just going on my experience working at a Scandinavian company and the incredulity I've heard Europeans express about the US's "the customer is always right" attitude, so I apologize if this is extremely ignorant. Regardless, they have a lot of room for improvement.

Have you tried giving feedback directly to the company? They feel like a small enough operation that they may actually listen.
yes but it wont pass an emissions test. And the repair can easily be $1,500 plus
That's via emscripten. I suspect by "directly" they meant something like Python bytecode -> WASM. Which I think might be possible later, when some of the proposals[1] like GC, exceptions, etc, are done. That sort of fuzzy line where WASM is somewhat like ASM, and somewhat like a language VM.
