The 0.0.1 release crashes on MacOS 12.0.1, would be nice to try it out when its more stable.
Another reason why it lost was because a lot of proponents of PR saw it as a trap to get electoral reform off the agenda. Most people in the UK I know who supported PR voted against the change for that reason, and considered accepting it as part of the coalition agreements as a total betrayal by the Liberal Democrats.
The thought that drivers will be put in jail for killing someone (especially a pedestrian or cyclist) already seems optimistic. Often they aren't even charged, even in cases of extreme road rage where the collision is deliberate.
True. I do like so when people aren't loosing their grasp with reality over looking at how things should be.

They could write better performing programs, as well as do it faster than C, the thread I linked to has GNU coreutils in rust for instance, it has excellent performance and every CLI tool I used is very fast, much faster. This is another example if you are interested. https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
Could you sit in front of Blender, Microsoft Office, GIMP or Photoshop without previous knowledge of them and do anything at all with them? What about IDEs? Please see my other comment where I go into more detail, but I think sufficiently pro features can’t really be made discoverable and it’s okay to have only the base functionality exposed. And I don’t think linux changes anything over that other than you being able to use a different desktop env/window manager. I have had my fair share with tiling wms and whatnot, but on linux I now default to Gnome. It is opinionated but I think that’s the job of a good wm.

Interesting post. I think cynicism is both about how you view the world and how you act in it, because the former informs the latter. So to me cynicism is both a view of the world broadly, I think of it sort of as Hobbesian, empirical and realistic rather than idealistic and certain ways to act individually. A sort of Machiavellian personality type is to me a pragmatic form of cynicism.

To take the prison example. I guess a cynical person would say, yes, complaining makes no sense because if you loudly complain the guards just beat you up. Staging a prison revolt is just going to give you more years and the justice system is screwed as well. The prison is a zero sum environment and you're likely only going to get ahead by screwing over someone else, and being deceptive and clever.

And honestly to me that's a fairly accurate description of actual prisons in most places. Cynics tend to be people who are acutely aware of power and how people leverage it for their own interests, but I don't think it implies that one has to resign from life.
They became aware of the issue after a couple months after the second dose. The trouble with anecdotal evidence like this is there's no way to know if that was caused by the vaccine or would have happened anyway.

Other people have reported similar things online. Again one must take it with a grain of salt.
Macs running classic MacOS were famously unstable for professional work. I got used to restarting my Mac when getting a cup of coffee as preventative maintenance.

I wrote an essay for university around 2003 which reviewed a site that was vector based and very impressive for its time. I think it might have been viamichelin or viaeuropa.
Ive kicked the idea around to start a company that would attack this issue in a few different ways..

get an app or on the site, enter in some info..

an easy to remember 800 number that is answered 24/7..

the person who answers can unlock the info you saved via the app or web site - and call numbers for your X or your Y and even do it three-way / conference call.. and even call your Z or V after you hang up - to notify you've been detained or whatever.

I think people would pay for this, and it would be easy to freemium - as you could pre-roll a local bail bonds ad when called if freemium user..

I have some other ways to make this work even better with some added tech things.

could even have a set of info that is made available to paramedics / hospitals should they find your emergency card in wallet and such.

now I want to build this more, I'm guessing a premium phone number is not cheap these days, so keeping this in the ideas phase.
I wonder where people in Stockton and Newark and East Palo Alto will go and/or try to move to when floods start coming regularly.

There's no law against selling software with liability.

People by-and-large _choose_ to license software where the license contract denies liability.

You are free to offer 'proper' liability, and try to charge enough extra for it to make up for your extra costs.

(Or do you want to forbid certain kinds of contracts, so that your preferred kind of contract 'wins' because the competition is banned?)

Do keep in mind that some software does come with liability, and things that are a bit like liability. The latter category is eg when you sell both software and a support contract, and your support people have to work harder when stuff goes wrong.
I think they do. There are machines for which there isn’t any version supported on that machine, though.

That’s not different from the situation with Windows. An Intel 386DX CPU with 4 MB of system RAM and 50–55 MB of hard disk space won’t see Windows security updates, either, anymore.

What is different is that Apple is less clear in support periods and often more aggressively leave older hardware behind.

I don’t think you can require them to support things forever, but requiring everyone to be clear about it at time of sale, or requiring X years of support would be good ideas, IMO.
All of the inner latches I’ve seen are made of glow in the dark material.

To be fair, this is how pretty much any foreign language is treated in media, not some special treatment of the middle east in particular. You're lucky if they actually used google translate, and didn't just have the actor improvise.

Another big thing a lot of people don't realize is that google translate is really awful at some languages (especially those that are not related, and lack a lot of source text). An especially comical one is Latin, you see a lot of slogans and whatever translated to the language using GT, with 'Romanes Eunt Domus'-tier results proudly emblazoned on their corporate headquarters.
Anecdotally, when I've mentioned my hate for Pinterest appearing in search results, several of my coworkers have reacted with surprise. They use it regularly, and mentioned something about pinning interesting results. Our individual minds boggled at each other.
Probably, meta-something is usually delimited by a dash and quite rarely used.

A "progressive utopia", I think not - even from the other side of the planet the inequality and huge amount of homeless is obvious.

It's barely progressive, the fact it's labeled as that is an indictment on the author or on America if that's what passes for one.
Author here. I didn't expect this will go on Hacker News. Although the editor has been my daily drive for almost one year now, it's really rough on the edges.

The plugin system as described in the README hasn't been implemented yet.
This is a long time thing though. Tuxedo (a transaction processing system from the early 90s) would periodically restart processes to ensure that memory leaks didn't compromise the system. The Apache webserver has a knob for how many times you should run code in a process before restarting it. At the end of the day it is an extremely practical way to ensure that memory leaks don't bring your service down.
USB-C itself has nothing to do with data rate at all. It's really the combination of USB-C and USB 3.x standards made things like hell. It was supposed to have one single cable to do everything but the fact is that I have far more cables which look almost exactly the same but with dramatically different capabilities and I have no idea which can do what at all.

But nonetheless, USB-C indeed introduced one issue that I never imagined: sometimes my phone decided that it should charge the charger instead of being charged...
Well, it's this trouble with labeling things.

The San Francisco electorate, by and large, would likely call themselves "very progressive", probably more so than any other major city in the country. Almost all of the significant power brokers, all the way up to the governor's office, in San Francisco politics would call themselves "very progressive". In that sense, San Francisco's government represents the one of the purest embodiments of what is a real political bloc or viewpoint or movement, one that calls itself "progressive", and what it might hope to achieve. Friedersdorf wants to call this politics "progressive" too; you object, and say this "American progressiveness", and the utopia created in its image to the best of its abilities, has little to do with "real progressives" and what their utopia might be like. But either way, I think what I'm trying to get at is - regardless of what you want to call it, it's real.

And I think there's something to be said for, "Conor Friedersdorf is an American, writing in an American magazine, about American politics" that makes it reasonable to highlight that distinction, or default to an American understanding of the term. I'm not trying to say that "Nordic progressiveness" isn't better than "American progressiveness", or that it isn't good or workable, but I'm hesitant to say that it's "truer" than "American progressiveness" - that's the fallacy.

(and, for what it's worth: highlighting a real distinction is certainly a rhetorical feint, and maybe a case of moving the goalposts, but it's not the same as No True Scotsman, where the distinction is, as Wikipedia puts it, "rhetoric [that] takes the form of emotionally charged but nonsubstantive purity platitudes")

But to be clear, I do like this reply a lot. And also to be clear, I'm Canadian, and in most respects like the way Canada is more progressive (in any sense, really) than the US, and think both of us would be better off if we were more like the Nordic countries. So I think it's valuable to ask, then: why is it that, Sweden, say, is more successful at producing good "real" "progressive utopias" than San Francisco?
...and look at the sea of unseeded torrents, basically all that is older than a few weeks and not backed by some paid/autseeded tracker or devout datahoarder (not defending Ethereum's approach here though).
Yeah it seems smarter to ask a result without the websites you don't want to see than to filter them out after.
They have other issues now, mostly performance, but not as many crashes at least. Its like saying all modern Intel CPUs are descended from Core M, but I don't know if it adds any relevant information, its mutated a lot and its very different, but at least it doesn't crash like 95, 98, 98 Plus! and ugh ME.

> No one would enjoy paying for a fridge that leaks water, why should they do the same for software.

There's no law against licensing bad fridges with the explicit warning that they might leak, is there?

Many people choose to go with fridges that are higher quality than the absolute minimum. Some people also choose to pay for extended warranties.

Many other people choose less reliable options, because they have other preferences.

This choice on offer is a good thing.

Why do you want to ban this choice?

Would open-source be effectively outlawed in your favourite world?
Exactly. We all choose the most cost effective solution - it's a balance between engineering effort and how effective the fix is. In the case of a touch screen, rebootingit every few hours isn't as effective as debugging the underlying cause. In the case of a web server having a memory leak, killing a pod and bringing up a new one automatically when it gets unhealthy definitely is. It's not surprising that each dev team settles on different solutions to each problem.
Good point :-P

Damn is the only way (because I think is the best way) I follow a lot of news/articles, this thing is absurd, and you know who is the guilty?! ...Google, when X years ago dismissed Google Reader, because a lot of people was thinking that RSS is/was G.Reader.

I can't imagine if Facebook will close Facebook, that "is internet" for a lot of people, not us obviously.
To a certain extent. Though some problems require more thorough surgery.
The new series is not a “troll”. And clearly watching it you can see as much. It feels like the story Anno always wanted to tell but didn’t have the mental or emotional space to do it in. The story is fully realized and I think it’s actually the most faithful telling of Eva of anything released thus far. I’d even go so far as to say skip the original series and just watch Rebuild. It’s that good.
I would assume it depends on your employment contract?
Just to be clear: the idea that Torah study leads women to promiscuity is not an invention of the GP (and may not be an opinion shared by them either). GP is quoting the Talmud.

<talmud>

The Mishna (Sotah 3.4) cites two Tannaitic opinions - the first says that a man is obligated to teach his daughter Torah so that she can understand the impact of the Sotah waters, the second counters that anyone who teaches his daughter Torah has taught her promiscuity.

The Gemara (Sotah 21b) clarifies that women who study Torah can become "clever" or "sneaky". Rashi (ibid, 11th century) explains that understanding the laws and loopholes enables them to hide their promiscuity and get away with things they wouldn't otherwise get away with.

For context the Mishna also comments that women are given to promiscuity by their nature, to the point where they would prefer promiscuity and a little wealth to a lot of wealth without promiscuity.

</talmud>

A few points from me:

* The context here is not studying theology at all, but legal topics, which is what most of the Talmud consists of. Only a small portion of the Talmud is theology, religion, and philosophy

* The Talmud is an anthology of many different opinions and ideas, often conflicting one another. There are passages in the Talmud that can be interpreted in a feminist light, but this is clearly not one of them. There is a lot of literature around this passage, and no small amount of controversy, but for the context of this thread - contemporary Haredi communities have interpreted this as forbidding women from studying the legal discourse aspects of the Torah while permitting the "lighter" topics, including theology. Other communities and movements interpret this differently or ignore it completely.

* My experience is that although the text cites promiscuity as the reason for the prohibition, that's not really what people think it's about, at least not today. If you ask most Haredi men why their wives are not allowed to study Talmud, I don't think they'll cite the promiscuity risk. Certainly not if you ask the women. Instead you'll probably get an explanation about gender roles, domains of authority, perhaps some narrative about men's brains and women's brains, maybe something about tradition, or just a shrug. If they're particularly learned they'll quote you this Talmud passage.
Thanks for the explanation, I can totally empathize with someone making a link between a phrase that means something negative and a term which they identify themselves with.

I'm curious about the whole host of other abstract terms which could connote a similar negative meaning if we associated their terms with racial meaning, though. I listed some above, but I'll elaborate here:

* White bread (boring), or white noise (something not worth listening to)

* Brown-noser (a suck-up)

* Yellow journalism (sensationalist news, doubling up on an offensive term for Asian people if we choose to racialize the term)

If the little kid in the example above picked up on racial biases against any of the previous racial groups, and associated that racial group with one of the phrases above, I would expect that they'd be similarly upset.

It seems reasonable, then, to explain to anyone concerned that these are not racialized terms, rather than trying to prevent offense from terms that bear no relation to the perceived slight. I have no objection to the terms "denylist" or "excludelist", but "blacklist" also seems perfectly fine when used in a technical context.

In much the same way, the terms above could all be replaced as well:

* White bread -> Plain bread

* White noise -> Full-spectrum noise

* Brown-noser -> Suck-up

* Yellow journalism -> Sensationalist journalism

* Black comedy -> Taboo-related comedy

If one wanted to use any of the terms on the right, I'd be more than happy to read them (just as I'm happy to read "blocklist" or "excludelist"). It does not follow, though, that I should stop using the terms on the left -- the fact that someone might be offended if they assume that the phrase is racially motivated (especially if it conforms to other racial prejudices they've experienced) is definitely terrible for that person. The solution, though, is to make it clear that such phrases are not racially motivated, rather than to assume that such terms are implicitly racialized.

tl;dr: There are lots of phrases, across different groups that could be offensive if they were assumed to be related to that group's identity, but which aren't actually related. We could choose to remove these phrases from our vocabulary, or we could clarify when terms refer to extremely long-standing color associations vs. when they refer to racial concepts that use the same language. I have no qualms with people that choose to do the former, but I see no reason to be any less okay with people that choose to do the latter.
Even more confusing considering that the Ouroboros you linked is also a distributed system, and consensus is based on network communications.
Toyota seems to have lost their way. They've been late to the EV game, they wasted a lot of time touting hydrogen as a solution, and now they seem to be dead set on screwing over their relationship with the customer.

Here in Norway the electrification of automobiles has come quite far, and one thing that is quite striking is that all these new brands keep popping up. Years ago I read a lot of papers on incumbents in the face of technological disruption. If you look at the last 100 or so years, only about 15% of incumbents manage to hold on to their dominant position in the face of technological disruption.

I wonder if Toyota is going to have a significant market share in 20-30 years. A lot of the decisions made by the top brass seem to indicate that they're reaching the end of the industrial life cycle.
Thanks this seems to be the closest. On the search results page the Pinterest results still appear, but without a link to the site, so you see floating paragraphs. On the image results page the pinterest results do seem to disappear.

I tried setting the upward() to 2, but that got rid of all the image results.

That’s just not an option for a regular phone or laptop, which is most of Apple’s market.

Also, 9 out of 10 it’s some very shitty answer written as if the author would have any reasonable knowledge on the topic.

A recent example, I was looking at Gluon Mobile, which can presumably compile to ios, but not much info is available on it. One “relevant” google search was a quora link for “is android slower than ios due to java”. I am unfortunately somewhat addicted to flame wars so I read some replies and.. the first one was someone going on an on about how OpenJDK can be quite fast, how there is benchmark game, etc etc, while failing to realize that android does not run OpenJDK, nor does it have a traditional java runtime.
My example of a protein model is an example of empirical research, yes?

My understanding is the X-ray gives you a diffraction pattern which is hard to invert to a structure, while if you have the structure the diffraction pattern is easy to compute. The diffraction pattern therefore gives you a way to verify that one model is a better fit than another model.

It may not be perfect, certainly not. It might not even be correct once more data arrives. But if you predict a novel fold, and that fold matches the diffraction pattern significantly better than the current model, then it doesn't matter how you came up with the new fold, does it?

It could have been a dream. It could have been search software. The result is still publishable.

All of what you have said is true, but my point is for some research being able to verify the correctness of the result is all that matters, not being able to reproduce the research.

Can you reproduce Kekulé's dream?
What counts as professional? I think my friend had a G3 that never had issues as a student.

I just had it in "computer class" to play crappy math games that hurt my eyes but they never crashed, and I wasn't a professional. I used Photoshop in 2003 or so, I think it was OSX by then, and never had an issue if you call photoshop and internet usage "professional" work.
I love this. I originally got into programming because I figured it was the closest thing to the magic I loved in Harry Potter: a mixture of academia, history, and pragmatism. Seeing a project like this just embodies a lot of the sense of wonder I had about getting computers to do cool new things for me.

Thanks for making something purely for fun and sharing it with us!

For the same reason that sometimes you are talking and you don't want people recording a video of it.
Do people who write immerse themselves in other authors' work immediately prior to writing? I've thought this would be a good way to get in a rhythm. I've also wondered if writers have lists of nifty words or phrases that they want to use. Or do these words just occur to them midstream?

You're right that if the set is of {99,100,101} then of course 100 falls into neither category and each category has cardinality 1, but we're talking about real-valued variables, so I don't think that's a worry. I imagine it happens 'almost never' (except where n=1).
