I recalled some of those issues are related to Explorer.exe. For example, there is a restriction on the path characters, I believe it is 256 characters limit. This includes the directory path that the file is located in. This is the issue with Explorer.exe (I think it was due to Explorer is 32-bit), Windows and the file system does not have this limitation because it can manage them just fine. I remember years ago that I have several windows app that can open the file with absurdly long path name without issue (like IrfanView). If I tried to open the file directly from Explorer, it will refuse to load or it will spew out an error. The restriction was imposed because of Explorer limitation. Now, Explorer can handle the with the long path but it has to be enabled in the registry.
I can, and for context I've known about the distinction of people who can and cannot for years; even then I didn't notice until last year that I can't smell or taste in my imagination and other people can. "Lemon" to me is pictures of lemons, to my mum it's a lip-curlingly intense sour taste.

You'd think it would be a simple hop years ago from sight to the other senses and which ones work in my head and which don't. But no, smell and taste are "out of sight, out of mind" for me in a way that sight isn't. When they aren't present I don't have a good way of thinking about them and don't really think about them much at all.

What about the other senses, can people imagine kinaesthetic body positions of poses they aren't currently doing? Can people imagine balancing on a high-wire or being off-balance on a moving boat, while sitting on steady ground?
The word "genocide" has to stop being thrown around so lightly.

Nobody is alleging any mass killing in Xinjiang, so use of the G-word is obvious hyperbole. The people using it know that nobody wants to be labeled a "genocide denier." Ironically, by making such an exaggerated claim, they shield themselves from criticism.

I think using the word "genocide" as a cheap rhetorical attack is cynical, and robs the word of the gravity that it should have.

A small rotating section near the center would have extremely uncomfortable tidal effects. You want to be as far as possible from the fulcrum to reduce the tidal effects.

How can you claim that this is vulnerable to double spends when we haven’t even finished defining the system?

Double spending is a symptom of a broken system. Let us at least figure out the system first so we can determine if it is broken.

Of course double spending is a concern that will need to be navigated in a system like this. Check out some of other discussions in this thread about where that leads - a centralized authoritative body responsible for issuing and “transferring” these wallets.
So you're not great at the whole reading-comprehension, are you? From, as they say, TFA

>For now, I want a fast, accurate, and stable version for RedHat-based Linux distributions. Currently these are CentOS 7, CentOS Stream and Fedora.

Those are the systems this thing runs on. The parent post I replied to wished they could run this on a raspi. I linked them to how to get CentOS running on a raspi, which would make the damned thing a supported configuration.

See, my reading comprehension? Excellent.
Yeah, this is a biggie. Almost every developer out there, uses SPM modules.

OK, the Unix philosophy holds that this is one of the most important things, and therefore it's easy to do in shell.

But what if it's not? It's perfectly easy to write code to do the same thing in a programming language without invoking any other executables, let alone piping the output of one into the input of another. So the claim that this functionality is what makes Unix and shell scripting effective is vacuous. They are good at doing something which would not be necessary if one was not using them.
Once the latency requirement goes past ... i dunno, a few seconds? "Insh'allah" time frames; tape comes in and stomps all over the competition with its space / cost tradeoff. Dismountable media and a mechanism to swap tapes (even a meatsicle if need be) just has too many advantages to compete with.

Gets me thinking tho: Why stop at 5.25in drives? Let's go back to washing machine sized units or even bigger. Let's stack platters so dense and heavy that we can use the spindle as a flywheel UPS system too.

Or how about making a truly gigantic tape spool? Perhaps kevlar threads impregnated with iron could serve as "tape" and we could spin kilometers of that onto a spool.
Memory is big enough an issue that they have a whole team working on jemalloc internally. It’s a big enough issue that, when a release of jemalloc messed up the memory usage profile on my team’s service, one of my team mates spent a couple of months figuring out why.

That sort of cavalier attitude to memory leaks doesn’t really fly when we’re talking potentially millions of dollars in server costs going down the drain.

Liberalism was just the early form of capitalist advocacy. Neoliberalism is the advocacy to return to those 'good old days' of mid 1800s where true capitalism existed in the most pure form. Neoliberals want to do it in a few decades. Far-right like in the US want to do it within the next 6 months by selling out everything and letting 'the market' rule.
There are a few important bits here:

First: "The study by Discovery Health, South Africa’s largest health insurer, of 211,000 positive coronavirus cases, of which 78,000 were attributed to omicron, showed that risk of hospital admissions among adults who contracted covid-19 was 29 percent lower than in the initial pandemic wave that emerged in March 2020."

and second: "At the same time, the vaccine may offer 70 percent protection against being hospitalized with omicron, the study found, describing that level of protection as “very good.”"

Yes the vaccine does improve outcomes BUT the hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people is still lower with Omicron than previous variants.
Intuitively this sounds wrong because hard drives can only scale the area of magnetic surface to fixed overhead by a certain amount -- literally you can't fit more than a certain number of platters into a 3.5 or 5.25" case. Whereas tape can scale that number far more just by using larger reels and/or a tape library.
For "legible" news, I'd like to see the section headers more clearly defined.

Then just get rid of tips, add 20% to your prices, pay your staff properly and manage them. If they perform badly train them better, promote and give pay rises to the best staff. If you really wanted to have a bonus system based on customer feedback. You know, the way normal business work.
Second infections, on average, have slightly worse outcomes then first infections among the unvaccinated.

It's a small sample, but it was done on data available in 2020, which was before vaccines were available.

I'm sorry, but I find it extraordinarily difficult to believe that the author cannot see in his mind, cannot speak in his mind, and that he didn't realize this was odd until adulthood.

For that to be true, it would seem like the following would also have to be true:

- He never heard anyone talk about dreams

- He never had a teacher tell anyone to read in their heads

- He never saw anyone draw or paint or sketch except directly in front of the object of their art

- He never saw a TV show where a police sketch artist was used and people describe what they see in their memory of an event

- He never saw a TV show where the act of "visualizing" something was demonstrated visually

- He never saw someone try to remember the numbers in a PIN or other code by following their mental image

- He never heard about someone having a photographic memory

- Etc.

It just strikes me as entirely implausible.
Hallucinations and visualizing are completely different things. Even in my worst psychotic episode, I knew the difference between real and not-real.

The issue was I couldn't filter out the imagined from the real. I knew the source of sensory input but the source didn't matter to the rest of my brain.

People who visualize know what "channel" they are focusing on.
For what it's worth, the vaccination rate in South Africa is low. It's only around 25% for the original course with little to no boosters done.
The Guide to Developer Productivity
I think in person it's easier to adopt this approach because there's a lot more context available. If you ask someone a question in person you can look them in the eye and they can assess if you're being genuine. Online there is a tendency to second guess what the person really means, especially if they're a stranger (which they often are) and then to assume the worst.

The problem is compounded in forums with a really wide general audience with potentially very little common ground. Not only do you not have shared assumptions you can rely on (e.g. we all believe in free-speech, we all believe that the moon landing happened) but you often don't build up any kind of track record or rapport with someone so you know what they mean by a particular (ambiguous) comment. It's the opposite problem to the echo chamber.
The title is misleading. It is possible that Omicron is just as severe and that the effect in the study is because a large percentage of the population had some immunity from a previous infection or vaccine.

> South Africa has a quite high seroprevalence of prior infection, particularly after delta, and in some parts of South Africa up to 80 percent of people were exposed to previous infection. We don’t think it’s a question of virulence, but more a question of exposure to vaccination and prior infection, so we would be cautious to try and interpret that this is a less virulent strain. We’ll have to see what happens in other parts of the world before we make a call on this.
Hello fellow CP/M and MP/M users.
You picked out the tongue in cheek part of my comment, but sure, people like thinner computers. Not sure what battery life has to do with that sense the overall lifetime of the batter is probably worse with everything packed in and the battery experiencing more heat.

Some other problems from their obsession with thin. Broken keyboards for multiple years. And that's moving from already bad chiclet keyboards into broken keyboards.

There was also a couple year period when ethernet ports were on the corners and it seemed everyone had their macbook dented right at the ethernet port. It could have been reinforced at that point along the edge, but they have to aggressively bevel those edges for the marketing glamour shots that make them look impossibly thin.

Oh, speaking of the beveled edges, the early airs and ipads were rounded so far toward the center that if you placed them on a table, and pressed near the edge with any force at all it would flip the far side of the device off the table. A real problem for an ipad which is a touchscreen and for anyone who touches their palms to their keyboard while typing.

Those are problems from making things minimally thin, or worse, making them appear thinner than they are. I don't expect them to actually make cars one inch shorter every year. I do expect them to have some weird obsession that they will tout as the best thing ever and min/max it to death.
As I read your 6/7 dinner party example I couldn't help but wonder if it's just a "birds of a feather" bias: People who have trouble visualizing things tend to get along well/have similar interests/beliefs/realities and just naturally often end up hanging out together.

You could say that about any sort of human trait: People who <share trait X> tend to enjoy each other's company. Some traits having more influence than others (obviously).

Not just that, AOL allowed playing sound files from within a chat room. If a user sent `{s gotmail`, it would play the `gotmail.wav` file on the computer of each person currently in the chat room. So, sending `{s /con/con` or `{s /aux/aux` to that chat would instantly crash the computer of everyone in the chat, causing a BSoD. It was great fun if you were an obnoxious kid, and generally super frustrating for anyone trying to chat.

Non-American here.

I lived in the United States for over thirty years. My experience was different.

I lost a lot of friends in the last ten years, because they started posting completely ridiculous, crazy stuff and were completely defensive of even the most reasonable objections.

I'd put up with "Obama is a Muslim" for a long time, but then it started to escalate. People would get hostile when you mentioned that there were records showing otherwise. After the election, some people become convinced that Michelle Obama was in fact a transgender man and let me hear all about it.

And you know, it's hard not to get a little pissed off about such blatant lies, hmm?

A long-time friend of mine started posting about Sandy Hook being a hoax - that the school had never existed. I pointed out that a friend-of-a-friend of mine had lost two children there, and my friend just went ballistic and started calling me the most unbelievable names, "Do your homework!" I unfriended her. You could see her get more unhinged on other people's pages and unfriended, and I haven't heard anything from her in years.

And now we have terrible lies about medical data, and again, people become incredibly defensive. At least two acquaintances accused me of being a pharmaceutical company shill! (I've never worked anything remotely like that.)

Sorry, it's not just "politeness" - a significant portion of Americans just went off the rails in the last decade.

This is spot on, and I like that you don’t need hardware for it unlike opendime.

I think it's implied that GP was referring to hardware manufacturers outsourcing their OS. While Microsoft does produce Surface devices, they're a bit player in the PC hardware market (4%). The major players are Dell, HP, and Lenovo, and to a lesser extent, Acer and Asus. Microsoft doesn't even show up on most statistics pages; they're lumped into "others".
This is pretty close to how my Julia library [0] for composable construction of SQL queries works:

From(foo) |>
Where(Get.value .< 10) |>
Join(From(bar) |> As(:bar), on = Get.bar.id .== Get.bar_id) |>
Where(Get.bar.other_value .> 20) |>
Select(Get.group, Get.value) |>
Group(Get.group) |>
Where(Agg.sum(Get.value) .> 100) |>
Order(Get.group)

There is no HAVING and the you can use any tabular operators in any order. Aggregates are also separated from grouping and can be used in any context after Group is applied.

It will be interesting to see if this has any significant effect on the markets.

Sometimes I think these question periods are nothing more than an opportunity for politicians to grandstand but then other times markets are moved by the drop of a single word like "Transitory".

There's an upfront cost for the infrastructure (drives, usually robotic libraries), but once you get to certain volumes they're quite handy because of the automation that can occur.
I see why you’d think that but it’s not how it works for a lot of people. As others have tried to explained to those that think no one can visualize in their head, for most of us that can visualize it’s not a photograph in your head. And besides, drawing from imagination takes practice. Heck, even drawing something that is literally right in front of you takes practice.
I stopped watching YouTube in Firefox as YouTube has started blocking my viewing after say 20 minutes - - they place a super long pause on any video I try to view for several minutes - - so I just copy the URL and place it in my Brave browser and it plays immediately.

So YouTube, you have been caught at it - - and now I am trolling you back.
I do think there's a difference between visualizing something clearly and not clearly, though, and this is what the test is asking.

The test asks me to visualize the face of a close friend or relative. I can quite clearly bring to mind my wife's face. I can imagine looking at each individual mole, or different facial expressions she makes.

If I were asked to visualize the face of the barista who served me coffee 20 minutes ago, I could only come up with something vague. I remember he was wearing large earrings, because they stood out to me, but his face is a blur. I mean that literally: when I imagine looking at his face, there are parts that simply won't come into focus or even into view, like they're missing -- in the same way that the dot disappears when you find your blind spot (i.e. not in a "argh, he's missing a nose!" way, but in a "it's just not there, but that's not weird" way).

So I have a pretty clear phenomenological distinction between visualizing things clearly and not.

Because you might want to leverage the reputation, credibility and following you built in one online community to another. Example: I learned about patio11 here on HN and was impressed by him actions in this community which lead me to follow patio11 on Twitter.

I agree that one of the great things about the internet is that you don't have to have the same identity in different communities. It's optional. Facebook's business model gives them a strong incentive to remove that optionality.

Ask HN: What are you using for non-tech, team documentation?
We have a small team (5). I'm the developer and the others are mostly non-technical.

I've been writing technical documentation with MKDocs which is great as a developer comfortable with Git and Markdown, but I now want to create a separate documentation set for client-facing, help/guide material that the other team members can contribute to.

Currently we just manage a Google Drive of docs and PDFs and it's disorganised and hard to manage.

What are other small teams using here? I'm looking for something that has some sort of editing interface, ideally can still track versioning of content, and is themeable to some extent. It could be self-hosted or a regular hosted SAAS.

What are some options?
I find highway driving more relaxing using FSD. It will request lane changes appropriately and then I can just approve instead of having to constantly wonder which lane I should be in to make the exit in time. I have to take over quite often but on the whole it’s definitely made driving more enjoyable. So I use it almost every time on the highway. I bought it when it was 7k and at least half of my motivation was to see how it progressed (since I am in the AI field myself), which it has significantly since then.
The problem is not just the datacenter itself but 1. all the personnel needed to operate the datacenter/private cloud 2. the lack of agility when everything needs to go through internal IT provisioning (at some companies this is a huge bottleneck).
the other thing to consider though is that if you are under pressure by management to not utilize GPU cloud, you might do fewer experiments than if you had at least a GPU workstation under the desk. (that, presumably, you can share with other workmates)
