Then it's not a distinction between dynamic linking and static linking. It's a distinction of "only link against things you yourself build and ship".

It's nothing to do with closed or open source. I don't want to build a very big world, and ship a huge amount of binary code that can be found in distributions, to make a 2038-safe app.
Yes, the child can get everything they want from the parent. The parent must sacrifice it all. Then, when they child has no need for the parent, they can find some excuse to call abuse "you birthed me, how dare you" and get rid of their parent forever. It's a convenient view for a convenient life.

I should know; I've been there, done that, and I grew out of it (I think). Something about my future children being as ungrateful as I was really rankles me.
You can get 4k by playing content on your iOS device and then casting it to your Mac using AirPlay. Ridiculous that there's no other way.
'Would, should, could' isn't useful in Realpolitik. We're going to 'would, should, could' right into the very situation we claim to want to avoid. Gorbachev is correct, we're arrogant, believing we can make the world conform to our desires simply because they are our desires. It doesn't matter if Russia is right or wrong. It matters what Russia is going to do, both on their own and in reaction to what we do. The Ukraine mess is avoidable but we're arrogant and think we are right therefore reality will bend to our desire. This is extremely dangerous thinking, especially when dealing with nuclear powers.

I could imagine it being useful for an imaging setup-- an OEM could use it to generate hundreds of identical drives.
This is not true by fiat or by experience. In ten years working at a company with 10-20 coworkers, we rarely talked salary; only in the very end of my time there and during covid were people coming out a little bit more about it and only in tight knit groups.

What makes you think people always discuss salary? Because it seems rational from a negotiating standpoint?
All I could glean from the article was that they halved their own previous energy costs for cooling the superconducting magnets.

Which is pretty cool if you need some really powerful superconducting magnets and you have to keep them going for long periods of time.

They'd probably be great for levitating frogs.

I don't know if these magnets would be useful for MRIs. Like the fMRIs that you need to keep going for a while or something. I hope so; more people having sex in fMRI machines can only be a good thing. Just because the mental image is so amusing.

I didn't see any hint that this was particularly significant for commercial fusion. Instead of generating X amount of power and consuming Y for magnets plus Z for other stuff, where Y+Z >> X, now you're using Y/2 for magnets, and Y/2+Z >> X. Yay?
What is the reason a new call like time64_t time64(); wasn't added?
This is the first I’ve heard of HomeKit having these delays. You sure it’s not connecting via 2.4ghz and hitting interference?
10,000 nodes are only as powerful as the amount of trust the rest of the network lends to them. If nobody trusts those nodes, they will have no impact. If the nodes all trust each other and a single outside node trusts one of them, that node is worth 1 vote, not 10,000.

Under the Stellar Consensus Protocol, the people you trust is your 'quorum slice.' If you take a transitive closure of trust over all slices, you'll arrive at the set of nodes you rely on. The most trusted nodes will appear in a lot of quorum slices, and essentially form a core trusted quorum. An algorithm similar to PAXOS is run by all nodes, but the results in the core quorum will override outer nodes until consensus is reached.

Thus as long as no malignant nodes are in the core quorum, they will not impact consensus. If a node confirms something contrary to what everyone else confirms, you know it is malignant. And in the rare case that a malignant node becomes highly trusted (which would mean it isn't acting malignantly), then confirms contrary, Stellar prioritized safety and will come to a halt until trust graphs are readjusted to remove the bad actor (which removal can be done automatically if it's provably acting malignantly, i.e. signing invalid messages.)
Recently switched from Alexa to HomePod for our HA stuff and haven’t looked back. Having native support in iOS is just so pleasurable to use. When we have guests, we add their phone to our Home app and they can control things in the house the same way we do. It’s lovely and intuitive.
"What if I am not a customer? Does that mean I cannot get a job here?"

Facebook recruited me a few years ago. I told them 100% that I don't use Facebook. I think a few people I met with didn't get the memo because...well, I ultimately didn't get a job because I don't use Facebook.

So yeah, I could see that happening.
I went to tiktok one day and was confused why there were suddenly so many videos featuring Canadians. Then I realized I was connected to a VPN with an exit node in Toronto. At least I got a better understanding of how tiktok customizes content.
> Taking advantage of your roth, 401k, homestead exemption, writing off losses, etc… absolutely provides value to the tax payer. The value is literally more money for the tax payer who can now further participate in the economy.

But it's zero-sum - every dollar they gained was a dollar taken out of the public purse. And worse, hours of human labour were spent on this moving around rather than something productive.

Tax benefits are (notionally) intended to be positive sum, but that can only happen to the extent that they change actual behaviour. If I put more into a pension fund because it's tax-advantaged, that's (theoretically) win-win - I get more to spend in the long term, the government reduces the risk of having to support a penniless future me. Similarly if I buy a bicycle through the cycle to work scheme, that (on average) reduces the government's medical costs. But claiming a tax writeoff for something I was doing already is zero-sum, and changing my corporate structure so that it pays less tax while doing economically equivalent things is likely to be negative-sum (because the new structure will likely have (marginally) lower real-world productivity - otherwise I'd be doing it that way already).

> The accounting industry employs loads of people. Is that not “value?”

No, quite the opposite - it's taking those people away from things that are real-world productive. Sometimes the costs of accounting might be outweighed by the benefits (e.g. giving companies information they need to make business judgements, or exposing fraud earlier). But often they're not.
How is that any more dangerous than a "real" library doing the same? Your code would still have to check whether the message passed the integrity check or not, just like it has to look for the warning on stderr. I can't imagine why doing a stream search for i.e. "WARNING: Verification failed!" is any less secure than checking result.verificationPassed (assuming the CLI messages won't change, which they won't since they're basically an API).
I think it lets developers opt-in to fixing their glibc-dependent programs ahead of time, so there's less work to do on stage 3.
I'm using HomeKit with Philips Hue lights and I'm not observing any latency, even when using cellular. I think you're experiencing a bug, resetting some stuff might help (the bridge if you have one, or the network settings of a device if it only happens with one). It could also be something related to your wireless access point.

Full employment is objectively impossible under capitalism. If nothing else, that is what the interest rate is for regulating. It’s to ensure full employment never happens so that capital will always have a surplus labor market to barter with.
A neat writup. I am sincerly curious about the speech interface: does it worth having the speech interface, if you have to mind not saying specific expressions at your own home because Siri might get confused? I thought people were more longing for the interface on phones (vs. walk up to a physical switch) and do not really want Siri or alikes.
Honestly it's a game to identify which. Accidentally left my garage in an 8 unit apartment building open once. Had to clean up the poop 15 minutes later.

Human, if you're wondering still.
Disclaimer: I've been working in the eSIM ecosystem for the past 3 years.

The integration in the device doesn't really mean the device manufacturer has more control on the sim, far from it. The integration is limited to the interface needed to download/enable/disable profiles, what's referred to as an LPA (local profile assistant). Still OP is misinterpreting that this somehow gives the ability to device manufacturer, which are not network providers, to somehow be able to now step into the telco space. The reality is far from it and Apple cannot provide such service. What they do on the field though, is market devices are easier to use and follow up with mobile operators so that the integration is seamless.
It's not an either-or. Write standard-compliant code as much as possible, and test it with real-world compilers (and work around their quirks or limitations if needed). Somebody trying to compile it 20 years later will thank you.
It depends. If your monolith requires, say, 16 GB to keep running, but under the hood is about 20 pieces, each happily using less than 1 GB, tripling only a few of these means you may be able to get away with (say) 25 GB. Whereas tripling your monolith means 48 GB.

You can obviously (FSVO "obvious") scale simply by deploying your monolith multiple times. But, the resource usage MAY be substantially higher.

But, it is a trade-off. In many cases, a monolith is simpler. And in at least some cases, a monolith may be better.
> On the sell side in particular, that commission should be irrelevant if the listing agent was doing their job, IE: marketing your property in a way to get you a top dollar return.

A vendor agent’s financial incentive is to sell as quickly as possible, and spend as little time as possible on the sale. Successful vendor agents are very good at convincing vendors that they should sell, quickly. They have a variety of strategies, and vendors are easily convinced they got good value, since successful agents are good at marketing a narrative (and the vendor wants to believe they got a good deal).

Let’s say a successful agent sells 50 houses as quickly as possible. Another more honest agent works to get the best price, which takes them twice the time, so the honest agent only sell 25 houses. The commissions from selling 25 houses nets the honest agent approximately half the profit compared to the successful agent selling 50 houses at lower prices.

Financial incentives really do influence most agents, even if they are not so aware of how they have been influenced by other agents to sell quickly.
> I deny that any human has ever come out of the womb having committed any such offenses...

That doesn't answer my question. Based on your answer, you seem to be interpreting the "fact of sin" to be original sin. I don't believe that is Chesteron's meaning as I showed in my comment. The fact of sin is the assertion that sin exists. Chesteron says it's obvious because one can "see it on the street"

However, in this statement you made:

> there is no "fact of sin", and you certainly can't use the claim of a "fact of sin" as a justification for the idea of original sin

you do differentiate between the fact of sin and original sin.

I'll ask another way. Do you believe murder is an offense against morality and is evil? If so, I don't understand why you would deny the fact of sin.

On child sexual abuse in the Catholic church. My stance on that is that it is shameful and absolutely repugnant. The men involved should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And for those who are unrepentant, I highly doubt their faith is genuine. The life of a true Christian is marked by repentance after moral failure.

On your comments on pedophilia. From reading your comment, I realize that I used the wrong wording by including pedophilia in the list of sins. I assumed the term included acting out of the behavior, but it doesn't. So I redact that term from the list and replace it with "sexual abuse of children".

Btw, it might not matter to you too much, but I don't aim to trigger you or anyone else with my comments. I see HN as a place for dispassionate and intellectual discourse on a wide variety of topics. Since the topic at hand is about spiritual things, I offer my comments about Christianity here. There are Christians way smarter than me that have much better writing on this topic than I do. e.g. https://www.bethinking.org/is-christianity-true/the-evidence...
No more hints will be given I think, I have my own reasons to be somewhat careful ;-)

That said I have Finnish friends and I like Finnish people and their attitude.
:) Okay, that's a fair point. The Lucas estate/Disney continue to be kind of weird about this.
> > No one is certain what lava lamps were used for.

Yes. The stocks in the SP500 sometimes go down in value, sometimes in the aggregate for a long time. Individually some of them go down forever.

If a stock goes down in value and it still pays a dividend it becomes more valuable for this. Setting that aside all stocks have a not very senior claim on assets. As the stock goes down sometimes it is worth less than the assets it has a claim to. At that point its better to buy up a controlling interest and sell the assets. Thats what private equity does. So yes I am interested when the value goes down.
Maybe, are you already using that feature in production? Buffers are available for years and just work. Hard to say how async inserts perform in real applications.
My HomeKit home only consists of 2 smart plugs by Eve (evehome.com). They operate over Thread which our HomePod Mini enables. We have one for the lamps in the bedroom and one on our espresso machine. Coming downstairs to a warm espresso machine in the morning is great.

> If I build a new program but link against a dependency that predates the switch (say, I upgraded my workstation to a new Alpine release but didn't `make clean`), will I get the same breakage?

If you jump between incompatible versions of a C library without rebuilding, you can expect nothing to work.
Your (very naive sounding and almost certainly wrong) assumption here is that Danielson wrote this law without ever sourcing input from people who do understand the market. Generally speaking, that's how politics works. She may ultimately have sided with experts who disagree with you about how the market will/would/should function (as I'm sure some do), but like the idea that she sat down and typed out this bill is ridiculous.

If you applied this ideal generally, you get a really counterintuitive legislative system ("you must elect a medical doctor before any laws regarding medicine can be passed", "only Google and Facebook and Amazon are experts in consumer advertising, so only elected ex-employees can propose consumer privacy legislation"), so it's probably not a very good one.
Thank god all my shit is 64-bit now.
I threw my phone to the wall with full force when I was a kid due an argument over the phone. The screen got wrecked as a result. Had to tell my parents I dropped it accidentally because I can't explain what happened.

In one of my pubescent year, the same incident happened again; But this time, threw it to the ground and glass screen protector ate all the damage except the home button. Remember cutting my finger pressing it.

The final one is back in 2018. Threw my phone and it ended up breaking the wall instead.
It's not done by the compilers, though. It's done by the CPU itself.
No, miners will just move to another valuable PoW shitcoin and/or fork ETH to stay on PoW.
> People like fire fighters. The fire inspector is broadly considered annoying.

Good engineering orgs don't think that way. However it's also true that you need to build credibility and trust, and have some communication skills and an understanding of the larger picture, in order to act as a successful fire inspector.

Improvement work always has to be balanced against feature development, but if you can show that developer productivity and the reliability of the product are being impacted, good managers will tend to listen. (Conversely, if those things aren't impacted, then why is your suggestion important?) If they don't care, it's time to move on. Seriously: there has never been a better job market in software and if you aren't happy you should be looking for other jobs.
>The solution is not one that may involve code or even engineering in general, but rather, a clear understanding of the problem, its constraints

Problem is: The only way to really understand a problem in engineering, is trying to engineer a solution for it.
Really depends, doesn't it? 200x something like a attiny13 is still kind of useless in that regard
Avoiding SARS-CoV-2 while needing environmental exposures for immunity
This is the rhetoric that overbearing intelligence agencies love; an encrypted phone is a tool for privacy. You don't have to want to hide something to want privacy. It's your right. It is the role of governments and corporations to seek to undermine that right for their own benefit.

You will not find a government on earth who works to benefit it's people. Only to control them. Privacy is a right you can defend too. Stop being a bunch of pussies.
That's a nice way to look at the world, but you have to realise that it's a biased view of the world.

Try to to step out of your own skin for a second and look at childrearing like an anthropologist might.

A key insight is that before modern countries and governments, there were essentially no pension plans. Some companies offered them, but in general they were rare.

Your pension plan was literally your children.

When you got too old to work in a field, swing an axe, or chase after animals in the forest, your kids would feed you. When your teeth fell out, they would chew your food for you.

You still see remnants of this in less well-off, or more "primitive" cultures. Families aim for about 10 children, end up with about 2-5 surviving to adulthood. Their culture has a very strong focus on children supporting their parents, far more than in developed, Western nations. You see this with Asian kids that work 12-hour days, 7-days a week to send money back to their parents. As do their siblings. Each might contribute only 20-30% of their income, but between a bunch of kids it adds up to enough to support the parents.

For more than half the planet's population, kids absolutely are raised primarily to support their parents, not the other way around. The kids in turn will eventually get support from their own kids, etc...

An alternative but roughly equivalent model is that in a hunter-gatherer society, a male human maximises their own safety and comfort by having children. Kids take very little calories to raise, but can be a multiplying effect on overall productivity. A lone hunter may be on foot for days, during which he can't take care of his "stuff". But a wife with kids has many little hands to collect berries, dry meat, repair baskets, etc...

(PS: Where this "fails" is that once a country's medical system advanced to the point that not too many of the kids die, everyone ends up with 10+ kids surviving to adulthood, and the population explodes. The older generation doesn't "hold back" on reproducing because this is directly contributing to their own wealth in retirement. The younger generation is screwed, but that wasn't obvious at the time they were born. This is happening right now in the Philippines, as a random example.)
Actually, the compilers do not and you are doing less than half of the job there. They don't emit information about the non-existent files that would change the build if they were to suddenly exist, such as an "x.h" in one of several standard search directories in that example.

> … I was skeptical that any mechanism to create bullshit jobs could arise from a system as inherently Darwinian as capitalism.

It is always worth reminding everyone that we are far from pure free market capitalism. There is a lot of market distortion due to lack of info transparency, regulatory capture, contracts which create inefficiency, intellectual property law, asymmetric application of regulation and law enforcement, etc
If your upper bound is unlimited, what's the point of listing anything? Especially with a well known company like YC, it seems like they would have a solid lower bound so there's no need to list it.
Of course HN sees "no one in this enormous, old, well-studied field is certain" and immediately thinks, well I've thought about this for 8 seconds or so and here's my take.

So to do the same thing, I bet they'll be equally confused by all of those tungsten cubes everybody was buying last month.
Why would two different packages have the same library in them? Surely for every library there's a single package for that library, and if multiple applications depend on that library then their packages would depend on that package.

A: Hey, this music sucks!

Q: Why did the Hippie go to Santa Cruz?

A: He heard there weren't any jobs there.
Dude, nothing I said was "hateful." If you choose to publicly insult successful, highly-regarded, widely-loved people, don't be surprised when others point out that you sound stupid and are likely in the wrong.

I've run into a few issues that are relatively easily solved.

My number one recommendation is to make sure your AppleTV home hub is wired.

Why? It is what relays signals when you are not on the local network and having it wired virtually guarantees the WiFi endpoints get the control command and you don't fall prey to things like client isolation blocking your command.

Especially if your WiFi equipment is Ubiquiti, this is a major pain point.

The same advice applies to WiFi capable network printers, for the same reasons as above.
In my experience, anxiety-induced insomnia is an entirely different beast. I went through CBT-i and had a strongly negative experience: its strict rules made bed and bedtime feel like a prison (now I can't even lie quietly in my bed?!), and it made my insomnia even worse. More generally, "optimizing" for sleep, thinking about it at all, seems like a horribly counterproductive thing to do for somebody anxious.

Mindfulness meditation has been an enormous help for me also. It's not an exaggeration to say it's been life-changing. Vigorous exercise (it needs to be vigorous) as much as possible has also been great.
I spent 13 years at Cray in CF. Great start to my career.
