The tricky thing with library versioning that you get into is when types change.

Let's say my app uses libc and libfoo, both from the underlying operating system / distribution.

libc has a 32 bit time_t, and libfoo on my system also has a 32 bit time_t. I upgrade to a new operating system where both libc and libfoo have 64 bit time_t. libc was kind enough to include symbol versioning which makes time(NULL) return a 32 bit number to my binary.

Now, libfoo either has to be patched to handle symbol versioning and have a new version inside so that my app can get the old 32 bit time_t, or it will have a subtly broken ABI.

The thing is-- who does this? Libfoo doesn't know when each distro will make the change: it won't correspond to a specific upstream version. Does each distro have to recognize the issue and introduce symbol versions? Etc.
OK, but then what is the long-term business justification for paying more-experienced staff less than less-experienced staff?

I get that the short-term justification is "we can get away with paying the former less because enough of them will be afraid to leave."

But is there another justification?

In my experience, at large companies "cash flow" would not even vaguely register the difference of increasing salaries for experienced people you want to keep, and it would be a marvelous signal to the rest.
When I was choosing the next editor to settle on and invest into, what convincingly swayed me towards Emacs was the number of reports of vim users who later moved to Emacs, vs. the number of reports of users who moved in the other direction.
I remember the old advice to describe the source as "Fifth Amendment," meaning you're declaring the income, but not its source.
Is there a name for the phenomenon that just happened here? The GP was speaking from an principled/idealist perspective and you replied with a realpolitik perspective.

Why do you have to refute cryptocurrencies to anyone? Make up your own mind and leave it at that. I'm atheist, but I'm not gonna go around and try to refute religion just because I don't believe in it, although I do think it does more harm than good.

People will believe in what they want to believe in, and there is little you can do to change their mind if it's already made up.
There’s some legit arguments for doing this -

1) even if the kid is kidnapped, we still theoretically want the person watching that child to receive financial support (keep in mind most kidnappings are from ex-spouses or other family members).

2) It provides one more paper trail for authorities to track the child down.
Ruby already has group_by, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying
He is smart and indeed an asshole. BUT not all of his arguments are always strong. I'd say most of his arguments are not. He's Seth Godin for cynics or Joe Rogan for finance bros. He's a pseudo-scientist who rode the 2007-2008 GFC hate for finance people (which was well deserved) to become a toth leader. So, in this case (bitcoin), I think Taleb is carefully positioning himself in the proper direction of the tide. He is a HN sweetheart though. Trash talking Taleb is one of the most satisfying ways I spend my karma around here..
Yes thank You very much.

I have a number of articles to read now on turning a RPi into a "Captive Portal.

Thanks for the fast response!
Well, the "editor wars" are silly. You should use whatever you prefer. That said, I started using Emacs a few months ago, and can explain what I like about it.

Emacs is not really "an editor" in the sense that vim is; it is more like a platform for building custom IDEs. It's built from the ground up with customization and exploration in mind. Want to know how some function works? It's very easy to jump to the code where it's implemented and start reading. Have you ever thought "I wish my editor did this or that" ? In emacs you can just write the code to make it do whatever you want.

Other editors support plugins, but they're not nearly as seamlessly integrated into the core editor as they are in emacs. Emacs is mostly written in elisp (which is the same language that plugins are written in) so there's basically no difference between plugin code and emacs itself, they are all just running on the same elisp vm in the same namespace.

I am not the OP, but yes, I certainly do want to put pressure on the censors. It is a very reasonable thing to do.
I used to respect Nassim a lot, and I still do. He was the one who opened my eyes to tail risks, fragility among a host of other things. His books Skin in the Games and Antifragility were one of the books that had a very large impact on my late twenties.

But lately something happened to him. He has adopted a “Twitter persona” where all he talks about is anti vaccine, anti Bitcoin and sometimes on rare occasions Mediterranean architecture. It is a bit disappointing especially sometimes he starts picking random people in Twitter and borderline bullying them. I don’t know how much weight I can put to his work anymore.

I spent 6 weeks doing Leetcode problems, mostly medium-level ones. However when the take-home project was assigned, my submittal crashed on their end, even though it ran on my end on two different simulators and my phone! That pretty much canned my application there and then, even though the engineer agreed with me that the crash was VERY weird... it involved iOS crashing while adding a valid string to a Set, which was non-null!
Given the opportunity, I could have quickly changed the Set usage to an Array, but that wasn't put on the table. In other words, a real-world fix didn't make sense to them!

Plan to do the smallest 'next' thing. Don't think about the size of the entire work, which can be daunting and discouraging. Always only think about the first smallest thing you can do. For me this will often be a meta-thing, like prepare my physical space with what I need close-by, or make an empty directory for the files that will be there and one empty outline.txt file, etc. Basically even while procrastinating, reduce the barrier to actually starting.

Also don't think you have to follow any particular approach or methods. Write in whatever sequence you find yourself drawn to, and whatever means you choose (dictation, phone/tablet, at coffee shops, etc). To alleviate boredom, find some ways to add subtle humour into your writing--maybe only you'll know but that's enough if it entertains you while writing.

Great, what we should be doing is taxing capital gain at a hire rate than physical labor. Why does anyone think it's OK to pay less on money you made with money you have? Especially when the difference can be as great as +25%.
HN is not the guardian of humanity against all scam, scum, and villainy; it's a place for thoughtful conversations. Assuming bad faith poisons not just this conversation but all the others. Many others in this thread remained curious rather than judgmental, and it's a great example to follow.

I think a big reason Hubble managed to do that was that it captures in the visible spectrum due to being a repurposed spy satellite. That spectrum just isn't that interesting these days afaict, especially since ground based observatories have gotten a lot better at seeing through the earth's atmosphere. The false color images of most of today's missions are just a lot harder for the public to understand. It was also launched in a time where NASA desperately needed good publicity.

Apologies, but not really. I became "involved" with bitcoin in 2013 somewhat accidentally through a job in behavioral finance. I was at the first bitcoin conference and was one of the few willing to talk to the "suits" who were there. Some of the neo-libertarian stuff used to frustrate me and I would refute certain points, only to uselessly draw ire from groups.

What I've found is like most people's relationship with money in general, a person's beliefs on the subject are usually rooted in their emotions. The area has always been technologically interesting to me so I tend to ignore everything but identifiable FUD, because that's part of what I do generally.
I've been glued to that page since the launch. The temperature delta just came online so you can now see the 'top' and 'bottom' temperature.

One issue is the undisclosed interests. Something tells me that doctors who were promoting cigarettes were paid to do so. Just like we've seen experts saying that oil /CO2 has nothing to do with climate change or health issues. This kind of collusion should bring criminal charges both to the experts and to the ultimate party that funded the misleading research.

The other issue is the lack of education and basic critical thinking among a high proportion of population so you find yourself in a world full of conspiracy theories and fake information. For some reasons I thought this issue can be found only in 3rd world countries but covid openned my eyes...
Searches require warrants. The fourth has specific criteria, requiring specific location and people or items.

A geofence fails that criteria because it doesn't say who is to be searched, it also has an overly broad place.

An address explicitly listing buildings is half of appropriate criteria, a city block is not. A 2 mile radius is not.

The other half is the specific people or items.
“On the next round I will say Blue. I will not open the message you’re sending me so I have no idea what you said, so it’s in your best interest to say Blue as well.”

No, sadly I stopped really working on the whole thing. I built a neat IDE, a mobile app, firmware, it was really sweet. But it's a hard market to break into. If you're looking for Christmas tree lights for next year (or just for fun) I think Twinkly make a good product

Even users on HN use downvote to "disagree" even if the intended functionality is to denote the comment as "low quality" or "irrelevant".
I've heard that in Canada you can get a tax lawyer to help you pay taxes on your illegal income. You get a special number to pay with and have the laywer handle it. The CRA would rather have the money than not and it means if you ever get caught you won't go down for tax evasion because you can show that you paid taxes using an anonymous number.
The King William's College quiz is set by a particular fee paying English school for its pupils every Christmas and published by the Guardian. Its full of English cultural references and designed to be hard. I assume the idea is that the pupils take it home for the holidays and work on it with their families. Each section has a theme that connects the answers in that section. My partner's family love wrangling out the odd answer or three between christmas and new year.
It's being downvoted because these kinds of black and white arguments which just call people names don't actually add anything to understanding. There are plenty of people other than died-in-the-wool haters or blind enthusiasts/hucksters. I personally fall between those two camps as do several others in these threads.
I hope you don't find this too intensitive but if you hear a voice in your head coming from an external individual, you may want to seek help

So, i suppose you did the test in the past? Can I know what the result was?

To check my statement mentioned before.
Yup and I'm glad you know that because I wish it got more attention! (I'm a mod here, sorry that wasn't clear.) The reason I post those links to past related threads about specific stories is that many readers like to look up old comments on the same topics. Often there are surprises and gems in there.

Oh and there's no implication that the story shouldn't be reposted—reposts are fine after a year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).

Btw, the 'past' link in the top bar shows you (more or less) what the front page looked like on a particular day. To find threads about specific past stories, it's best to use HN Search at the bottom of the page.

The text is very close to being symmetric; it's just the 'before the date of the kidnapping' which keeps it from applying to the kidnapper.

Here’s a paper from a few years back with a low end estimate of 11MTCO2e for a year of digital advertising https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019592551...

For comparison that one year is about the same as the entire history of ethereum, which gets a lot of criticism. Or about 4 world cups.

And a crazy 10x that on the high end of the estimates. Be interesting to see some new numbers on this.
Kelsey's paper is from 01997 but I think Pre-Scheme itself is from about 01993? Squeak came out in 01996 but I think had been in development for a year or two. The Squeak paper also came out in 01997.

Can't wait for regular people that have a few solvable issues in their life but perceive themselves as "depressed" to just take a shortcut where Ketamine, or whatever is the miracle drug at the moment, will fix everything.

Many doctors won't have any problem prescribing them, as they can always say "it was <national drug institution> approved and the patient should stick to the prescribed dosage".

What the vast majority of people need in their lives are discipline and sense of fulfilling, which they won't get from drugs or other material things they can buy.
So, here's the challenge.

A doctor is promoting vaccinating your child from COVID?. Should that also be taken with a grain of salt?

What about measles?

How do you draw the line?

How do you help others - suspicious of authority, and being actively manipulated in a culture war to distrust anything a "progressive" tells them - to draw the line?

I think it's impossible. The only way is to say that "Doctors are experts. They have been wrong before and they will be wrong again. Experts doesn't mean getting things 100% right. But it definitely means getting things more right than you, most of the time. So trust them, even if as new information develops, the advice will shift".

By the way both sides in the culture war believe this. FOX News finds their own experts. They find the 0.1% scientists that don't believe in climate change and give them 60% of the airtime. But they still appeal to experts.
I was the primary coder of the actual Nautilus icon view during the time that Eazel maintained the code. It is probably lost to time, but there was a C++ version of Nautilus that was developed by the Eazel team. This version was not accepted by the GNOME team and the decision was made to develop Nautilus using C in the same fashion as the rest of the GNOME code.

Icon views became my life for a while as I then did most of the work on the Finder icon view for several releases of OS X.

Looking at the screenshots of the latest Nautilus icon view, it looks remarkably similar to the version that I was working on. In 1999 we had icon image previews, file metadata displayed under the filename, the ability to preview video and audio files within the icon and more. It took us a few releases of Finder to get some of the features from Nautilus (and the BeOS Tracker) integrated. At the same time, the Nautilus icon view continued to degrade and undergo all sorts of turmoil. I hope it will be happy again soon!
Real libraries wouldn't do the same thing.

I'm not inclined to run anything that's remotely related to password security in a browser extension (I do use the Firefox built-in password manager to simplify logging in to sites like this one, where I have no money at stake and nothing much to lose but my pride).

For high-value logins, I use Passwordsafe. It's annoying; the scroll behaviour is annoying, and it's Windows-only, which is sad. But it's resolutely local and un-networked, and I'm confident that my secrets are well-protected by my (complex, long, memorized) master password.

I guess I didn't get the memo. I don't see what was wrong with `window-system' as it allowed stuff like `(eq window-system 'mac)' and `(memq window-system '(mac ns x))' which is nice if you're using different OSs/environments and need tailor your config.

Turning into an actual lake requires a special degree of inattentiveness or over-reliance on the GPS, but I'll confess to turning into a one-way in a neighborhood I was not familiar with because "the GPS made me do it." For what it's worth, the officer that pulled me over a split-second later was angry with but accepting of my explanation (one of the few times in my life that I've been pulled over but not ticketed... probably because it didn't get far enough for them to ask for my license).
Agreed! The chain:

I've seen a few new photo hosting applications creep up now and then in recent HN threads like this, but none have really hit the spot for me. I take photos as a hobby, nothing too serious, mainly if the weather is nice or we're on vacation. I have a Fujifilm X100F and an old Canon DSLR. I rarely use my Canon.

Fuji strikes a perfect balance between on-camera processing (film simulations), quality and mainly size - that it's become my primary driver. There is a subreddit with a plethora of monotonous, uninteresting images with white boards on reddit at /r/fujix. I miss the diversity and creativity of early flickr.

Google Photos is my go-to nowadays for hosting photos, and sharing with the family. Everyone I know has a google account, and sharing is super easy. Their UI is the best I have ever used - so quick and snappy and probably the most implementation of infinite scroll I've seen. But it's just that - nothing more.

What I really want is something that allows me to do everything. I want to be able to upload my RAW photos and not have to think about it in terms of space or cost (at least not at the current prices). I want to be able to edit them using powerful tools (as in Lightroom or Darktable [my current choice as i refuse to pay for lightroom]) in the same tool I use to upload and manage them. I want to be able to be part of a community of photographers and sharing my photos within that community or namespace/tag should be seamless and I should not have to think too much about the divide between my personal life and my online life. I should be able to really quickly take a family photo album and safely indicate that this is for public consideration outside of that album. I should be able to use machine learning to intelligently and automatically apply a vasty array of tags to my images, only using a cursory glance to validate them. I want it to intelligently classify locations, so if I'm travelling around Austria - I could just say show me photos from west tyrol without needing to enter the exact city or look at some poorly rendered and slow map.

The problem with the current solutions, are the division of tools, the division of disciplines, the cost of storage, the shitty UIs, and the difficulty in creating communities around interests, cameras and/or styles.
I was doing just this until they came up with that silly "web 3.0" moniker which is trying to attract developers for smart contracts. As a developer, I have zero desire to code for any of that stuff as it sounds like a security nightmare. Hopefully other developers here reach similar conclusions in light of good discussion on HN; but that could be naive as you suggest.

That's very cool, but I've personally greatly enjoyed learning and programming in Emacs Lisp. Not only does its ability to immediately evaluate and hot-patch anything work very well with the way it's used in Emacs, but also it was a learning path to a family of languages which is very interesting and unlike mainstream Algol-based ones.
In both situations I don't think this is "blindly following ai".
If you are unfamiliar with an area, hence why you are using gps, then it is reasonable that someone does not know a street is a one way and it may not be immediately evident.

Add time of day or inclimate weather to the situation and things can get bad quickly.
