I think your comments does not add anything meaningful to discussion. Yes, Microsoft screwed up. Yes, a Microsoft employee is trying to make excuses for them. This does not mean we couldn't have a civilized discussion, though.
Sending Virtual Hugs Bro. Sending you best wishes for the Next Year.
In a lot of cases on Tiktok they turn it into a quirky "twitching" and saying cute things. You barely see anyone where it doesn't come across adorably. Most of them are faking it for attention.

Just tapped to my head, looks like there's one.

> Leave a message when you realize that forking a repo on GitHub is not the same as publishing a copy under your name.

First, you send me a message when you realize you can't just change an MIT License's copyright line as you see fit, then we can discuss the rest.

Also, milking knowledge from someone with an implicit promise of hiring, and re-implementing the software and tossing the original developer aside like an orange pulp is nowhere ethical.
A heavy portion of carbohydrates will raise and lower your blood sugar levels. The crash is the tiredness. I would nearly fall asleep at my desk after lunch if I had pasta, and it took some time to make the connection.
Wish they would fund projects that already exist and that have years of unpaid effort already delivered. Instead they fund a bunch of prototypes that will probably go nowhere.

It is true. The reason is that only hotels with passport verification system can accept foreign guests (all hotels have a system connected to police department to verify national id), most hotels only have a small national id verification system (because it was cheaper I guess), only some 4 star and 5 star hotels have these. I had once tried to use my passport to stay in a hotel, they didn't allow me then I learnt about this.

The argument is clear but not entirely persuasive. There are a lot of people on the spectrum who have no hope of expressing their thoughts in an essay like this or ever living independently. Whether we call it “mild” or “high-functioning” or some other choice along the euphemism treadmill, it does not change the fact that these people have very different prospects.
Thank you for the links but just to clarify: I have to send each student a random individual password (so that they can login to set up their test taking software). The password is currently generated by a script that then proceeds to email it to each student. Sometimes I have to send individualized assignments (also randomly generated by computer algebra software). My personal email server makes it straightforward but I do not see how it is possible with MS. I guess a cleverly written IMAP client can do that for me but I cannot use IMAP, alas. The university policy is basically 'disable everything that can make using outlook bearable' (this last sentence should compensate for the ambiguous grammar you pointed out :)
That is not how randomised controlled trials in conditions like cancer work. They are almost always a riff on new drug + current best treatment regime vs current best regime. Sometimes a drug within a regime is swapped with the new agent and the two compared in terms of survival and toxicity.

Progress in cancer treatment is almost always achieved by incremental tweaking of how we treat it. There are a few revolutionary agents based on specific disease mechanisms in certain cancers (e.g. imatinib [1]) but these are in the minority - cancer is protean.

autism (and ADHD) are extremely broad diagnoses.

If I hear someone has autism, the only thing I can assume is that their authentic personality is "not normal". And even then they could be so good at masking that nobody can tell the difference.
Traveling families and busy 'essential workers' need food, gas, and basic necessities. Access to quick food (McDonalds in this case), gas stations, and convenience stores are just as vital as anything!
For a neurotypical person, focussing on a boring task is like holding an ice cube - it’s uncomfortable, but not too hard to do it.

For an ADHD person, focussing on a boring task is like holding your hand on a hot stove - your brain won’t even allow you to _attempt_ it because it’s so obviously a bad idea.
Can't you openat(fd,"..")? I don't think this is a sufficient sandbox.

Americans lost two skyscrapers and still talk every year about how the country was scarred. Yes, it was terrible, but imagine a country literally burned by fire from the sky, and future generations continuing to suffer through birth defects. The sheer magnitude of the suffering perpetuated in the name of "freedom" and proper values is staggering.

You and people like you are sickening.
> I see the propaganda of China, Russia as well as the one of the US and Europe.

This is a huge false equivalence.

You won't see Chinese citizens publicly in favor of US/Europe but you will damn well see it the other way around.

E.g., some of my coworkers genuinely think it is ok for China to ban Western companies in the name of harmony but the US introducing the slightest of regulations is seen as fascism.

A discussion like this can't happen inside China on a popular platform.
I am working on a ML-based compression which will be slow to compress/decompress but will give much better compression than zstd/gzip (even 2-3x better). Do you think that it's a useful algorithm for archival reasons or for storing huge amounts of data in cloud?

Radical islamic terrorism was going on way before 2001.
You missed the part where you can openly discuss that in the US.

It'a aways a trade off between security and convenience.

The best way I've managed to come up with is to use a password manager but then secure the hell out of it by using hardware keys as a second factor to access it, and only allowing getting around that with a printed out backup key.

This way you have the convenience of all the passwords as you need them on verified devices, but strong security (+ inconvenience) if you want to access them on a new device.
There are lots of people for who Xmas isn’t a thing — different background etc.

I always thought it would make sense to let us handle Xmas duty so others — people for whom it really, really matters - can do their Xmas stuff.

I used to try to volunteer for this when it was relevant (really, it’s not a thing for me), but I rarely saw a systematic opportunity to do so.

I think it gets harder as time goes because the replacement day (say a random day in Jun) isn’t as quiet because the rest of the economy is not turned off.
Maybe it’s accurately understood. :-/
The commenter you replied to seemed to be comparing 2 situations. That seems normal to me. Comparing things seems to be great way to understand complex issues.

What makes the comment a wrong way to discuss? Is it a bad form of comparison for some reason?

I recall reading that it's 6 days of living in the EU until it "kicks in." I don't have a source or that and can't seem to find one, so take it with a pinch of salt.
The gluten intolerance thing is complicated by FODMAPs (certain carbs that tend to ferment in the gut and to which some people are especially sensitive for reasons that are poorly understood). In practice, a gluten-free diet is often also a low-FODMAP diet, but companies don't label their food as "low-FODMAP", so people might make the switch, get actual relief from actual symptoms, and assume that gluten was the issue because they've never even heard of FODMAP sensitivity.

In my experience, the biggest issue with autism isn't so much raw awareness or availability, but that almost none of the "autism industry" caters to autistic people themselves. I sometimes end up excluding phrases like "your child", "the child", "the student", "my son", "my daughter" etc. from searches for information about autism because there's just so much stuff that's laser-focused on the concerns of presumed-neurotypical people around an autistic person.
So what? Was the Apollo program more complicated than the instruments on JWST? They are two very, very different missions with different requirements. In many ways, each mission is unique in its own ways and I don’t see much value in comparing them on such basic metrics. Why is the time it takes important?
Nitric Oxide: The Missing Factor in Covid-19 Severity?
MS dev here. I contacted the internal repo owners to bring this to their attention, people may be out for the holidays but I expect it to get fixed up soon.
I used to work for MS and... it's still easy to see it from the inside lol
When my grandmother died, one of her children discovered a box full of correspondence between her and my grandfather while he was in the war. They subsequently turned this collection of letters into a book and published it. I was horrified, but the rest of the family seemed to think it was a great idea. It's a real head-scratcher to me.
Could be it got caught by mistake?

I know I can run "Update Copyright" on my projects in JetBrains - could just be an innocent mistake that hit the wrong folder.

I know everyone jumps on the big corp as everything they do is intentional, but it's the holidays, someone was doing a bit of work, maybe not fully concentrating and hit push.

Seeing how quickly this was plastered everywhere, and the responses to it, do you really, like REALLY think that this is a deliberate play?

Fortunately Feynman is already dead and doesn't have to endure random strangers on the internet reading his personal letters or making sweeping moral judgments about his true nature based on anecdotes.
Agreed. It was pompously Abrahamic, evidently as much for political show as a heart-felt expression of wonder. We all do feel the wonder, but let’s avoid the Christmas kitsch and the tacit “God, the father” image he evoked.

I suppose Apollo spent significantly more money, measured as a part of the US GDP. It was done in a lot of hurry.
> Surveillance was already happening at scale and being put to use for whatever nefarious purpose. As long as it wasn't public, very few people cared. Now that the data is used for public good

Why do multiple person believe the issue is that it's the public sector that use it? I didn't know the data was available. The issue is definitely not who use it.
This is the second time I've seen you try to piggyback off of a top HN comment without saying anything relevant to it.
There have been several waves of covid, and each time new restrictions were put into place, they were adjusted based on the studies which showed what worked in the previous wave.

Again, I can’t speak for your provincial government, but in most of Canada, each successive lockdown was more finely tuned than the preceding one, thanks to the data that was collected.
And that ended so well for everyone involved. Grab the popcorn.

The Guardian is considered significantly politically slanted, right? I don't know how Brexit is going but I'd like to look at several sources with several different world views before I come to a conclusion.
> Red is not “more blue” than blue is. Red is not “more spectrum” than blue is.

I get what they are saying re: autism but this is an incorrect analogy. If you measure wavelength then red is quantitatively more than blue. If you measure frequency then red is less than blue.

Where does this response put me on the spectrum?
Yes, foreigners need to register their address. I did that in UK every time I move when I was under student visa. If you fail to register within 7 days or so, you will be hit with a fine and other consequences. I also need to fill in my address in US every time I visit US. I assume it is normal for people traveling to westerns, but not very normal for westerners themselves. Most tourism countries, hotels do registration for you, sometimes you fill an extra form when you check in.
Thank you for being grateful.

Please also note that Christmas is not a thing for a lot of people. Jews, Chinese, Muslims.
Update: the rocket launch went better than my deploy.
Elegant I agree, but a failure in readability.

- Nova+Mono is the wrong font for a display like this.

- Those characters in very light gray make incredibly difficult to read and contrast specially at the bottom part of the display were they just fade into the dark the blue background.

Notice the difference and much better result, with the color choice for characters in the James Webb pages posted above.
Note that you very much can get "floating pink elephants", but not from psychedelics — you need to get into deliriants for that: Datura plant in small doses, red mushrooms, diphenhydramine or amantadine in large doses, and some other stuff (like these tablets from military first-aid kits: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Aprofene).

These things were somewhat popular in my language segment of the internet about ten years ago. A lot of people were experimenting with the stuff. Usually one trip was more than enough to never want to repeat that again.

Try reading some trip reports on erowid if you're curious.

Ask HN: Is MPL a good license for libraries?
It seems better for commercial usage compared to the GPL since it isn't as strict while also guaranteeing the users of the MPL licensed library will share their changes. I'm curious what HN users think of it as a library license.

To people who might suggest LGPL: it is a no-go if you're using a language that's statically linked (Go / Rust) or a dynamic language.

(Info about MPL: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/)

Additional question, do companies have policies that ban MPL?
Interesting, but I think it has gone the other direction. It seems to me that the autism diagnosis has been unilaterally bad for rational people, and something like a green light for exploitation by emotional people. I hear people calling others autistic all the time to diminish their rational points in an argument.
And it might take a bit longer than a year for the dust to settle. Rome wasn't built in a day, after all.
Allowed is a loaded word. I am accessing HN through an unsecured network. We aren't "allowed" to stream because it can quickly overwhelm shared bandwidth but I do have that ability.
it supports the OP's statement that the rate of innovation is slowing down, it's not a moral claim
I am not arguing it doesn't exist. Bit some examples would be appreciated, as I don't notice that much in the way of political comments.
MS dev here. Thanks for calling this out. I contacted the GH@MS admins to look into this and to consider adding some safeguards to the tooling so this doesn't happen in the future.
So the only part of the repo that is legitimately copyrighted by Microsoft is the Microsoft copyright notice? I love how meta this is.
> Life's too short.

Life's too short not to at least try something new and unique and harmless, no? It only costs you an afternoon.
JWST apparently does have some kind of docking attachment so we can service it if we get the capability between now and EOL. Servicing once could likely double its useful life. Starship and Orion could do it AFAIK. Maybe Dragon with a service module.
I saw Fabrice comment here during the log4j debacle complaining about how hard it is to get funding. I'd say the answer is that it mostly doesn't, and that there is a very small paid team working on it.
MS acquired that extension, Don works at MS now.
Kinda glad that UK tested these waters so us other EU countries don't have to. Too bad it made Europe weaker.
You take a detail from a sentence and complain about the accuracy of that detail while deliberately missing the actual point. Your place on the spectrum is:

So this sense of “wrong” is similar to “correct”.

Also, I don’t see how this is true. Code on my website is publicly accessible, but not in the public domain, nor licensed for re-use, unless I say that it is.
It was burned in a day though.
There was a few other things that tied in to the anger. It turned out Streamlabs had released a series of products that each exactly mirrored the functionality of other popular projects, including in one case stealing the entire product page (including user reviews) and replacing the product name with the Streamlabs version. Just a long series of exceedingly blatant copying and theft.
The way that the Cortana process is always running on Windows and how it is relaunched instantly if you try to terminate it creeps me out.
They're using the same argument the copyright industry use against pirates.

Instead of this person saying they saved 150 lives, the copyright industry say the artists lost X amount making the assumption each pirate, given no other option, would pay for the copy the pirated.

I often am curious how many of those pirates would have actually paid.
> order of operations, inequalities, boolean arithmetic, and something very much like mathematical induction if you want your loops to terminate

To a first approximation, this is a substantially more limited set of concepts than even low-grade math.

Iterating counters and loops is the most "general" math I've used on most problems, and for...each or equivalent auto-bounding functions over sized collections removes that.

Can you write a 3D engine without math? No. Can you write a DB engine without math? No. Can you write a general web app without math? Probably.

Point being: if your goal is to put food on the table by programming, a 2-year study plan worth of advanced math is better invested learning elsewhere.
whoa i tried doing some recordings and it was complete crap - how the heck do you get them to sing at once and jump notes?
I think it might be better to say "extremes are a never-ending temptation", just as we try to make the biggest things, there's also plenty of effort put into making the smallest things. As another commenter mentioned, this is often less because of engineers' desires than because of product departments' needs for the next best product, which often just means the original product, but "more".
Good work, happy birds!

Don't you think it's a little late for that with Corporate Media?
The UN is such a theatrical waste of resources. Also no one is gonna be dumb enough to ban autonomous weapons research in their own country. It's as inevitable as nuclear proliferation.
Not a particularly good source of ideas though. Even though this one could be agreed to.
Hey, why are the comments repeating on the page? Is this a UI bug?
If there are "two systems" in the future, they will both be repressive — transforming "two systems" into a rotten shell, a sickening corruption of the original ideal of preserving the freedom of the people to choose their own government.
I didn't know about Xephyr. That's super useful
For those of us that remember the “old” Microsoft, they are still obviously evil. Nothing they have done will change that view. Incidents like this prove that this zebra cannot change its stripes.

Never. Trust. Microsoft.
I don't even know how to respond to this.

Do you think someone with depressive tendencies should be able to overdose?

Please look up some of the package inserts. This isn't some globuli smartie medecine you are talking about. It's only legally available because the suffering caused by social isolation is less bearable than some of the side effects.

You can be happy if you only get malnutrition from them, if you are unlucky you'll end up with chronic diseases or cancer
It might be confusing as it is different from some other languages, such as C++ and JavaScript. They both evaluate default parameter when the function are called.
A mentally ill or cognitively disabled person is still able to operate a knife, blunt weapon, and if they can get one, a gun.
What made you stop believing?
Any special event that you would like to share?

I believe that it all comes down to "Love". That's the key. All other "rules" are mostly human-made. Your relationship with God is just that: a relationship between you and God. And that's YOUR business and God's!

I too was raised a Catholic, but there are many places where priests are not as good as they should be.

I think I'm lucky on that, that I had a good priest for the biggest part of my life.
I developed interest in finding out more and, for the most part, most lay people's common knowledge is wrong.

God does not want you locked up in a bunch of rules. God (even being apparently very absent) wants you to be happy thru Love. And that's all! (and, funny enough, the catholic church does defend that! It's just very sad they miss by a lot to put that into practice - but, then again, they are humans as well...).
You could do a code search on GitHub. I’m pretty lazy in the aspect of coding. I always seem to find a repo that has implemented an MVP with what I already had in mind. There are some gold nuggets on GitHub like Googles DDSP implementation they have academically published anonymous.
Correct me if I am wrong but I dont think much has happened in terms of Ractors. But lots of work happening on Fiber and Async.
