Does the ship of Theseus become not a ship?
A couple months ago I pulled my x220 that I hadn't used in 3 years out of the closet and got it all updated to do some hobby programming while visiting parents. My only other laptops were a work machine (X1 Carbon, I want to say from 2019) that I didn't want to travel with and a Surface Go that I didn't want to wrangle into having a decent dev environment.

When I booted it up, I checked the most recent entry in pacman's logs:

$ tail /var/log/pacman.log -n1
[2018-08-24 12:40] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -R aur/ino'

Somehow the upgrade didn't completely hose everything. It just took a bit of finagling in the form of looking through any packages that gave errors (errors like cyclic dependency stuff and conflicts from bad use of pip) and uninstalling those that I didn't see a need for or switching them to the package manager instead of pip. About an hour of babysitting it and I had a completely updated and working Arch setup.

Using it was surprisingly pleasant, I think the most painful thing was initial builds for some large Haskell projects were slow but subsequent builds were tolerable. Also the original screen, while nicely visible with the matte surface, has a painfully low resolution of 1366x768 and so few websites are happy with half of that width now that everything has huge margins.

Probably the most important thing was that it was mine (even though I haven't done the sorts of mods in TFA) in a way that my work laptop and the windows machines I'd been using outside of work could never be.

(I do love how sturdy it is. Especially with the slice battery that almost doubles the thickness and gives it enough juice for hours)
It's a sort of post-modern nihilism. Just one more of the tens of thousands of unprovable and undeniable ideas that humans have adopted. The science fiction aesthetic makes it and easier pill to swallow.

When people are living their daily lives and interacting, but in the backs of their minds they have a loose grip on reality, to me it's a new low in spiritual degradation. Not only is reality meaningless, as a classical nihilist might affirm. Whether it has meaning or not is irrelevant because reality isn't real.

Aside from the philosophical argument, I think computer science has a good line of argument against simulation theory. Unless the metaverse transcends logic/computation itself, then computer science actually has a lot to say about the topic. Even universe size computers can't bend some rules.

Hi! Glad to see XMPP on the HN first page this morning :)

I'm working on a social-network and IM web platform (for 12 years already!), fully built on XMPP https://movim.eu/.

Thanks to its extensibility and the PubSub XMPP standard (see https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html) you can easily build social-network like features. The standard is pretty simple, it's Atom 1.0 transport within PubSub (see https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html).

For those that likes RSS/Atom you can also easily publish Atom newsfeed to PubSub (see https://github.com/edhelas/atomtopubsub) and follow your favorite website using your XMPP account and with real-time pushed articles. Here is ArsTechnica as an example https://mov.im/?node/news.movim.eu/ArsTechnica

XMPP is not only for IM, but way more than that ;)
"more enriching" is how we fool ourselves to continue diverting our attention - speaking for myself - it's just math on youtube, it's just stackoverflow/programming, etc. Unfortunately the cycle of infinite information needs to be throttled I think.
Typewriters have tab stops that you can jump to by pressing the tab(ulator) key.
Thing is - unless you really love JS for some weird reason, then deno is competing with established languages like “go” that have a great web server in the standard library. In addition to competing with node which is fine! Apart from it’s insane package management situation. Which most people just kind of shrug at
> Assuming there's just chickens

I don't think the question is about a fantasy world that only has chickens, and the chickens came from ????.

Just treat it as "chicken" vs. "chicken egg".
Maybe it's just my accent, but whenever I'm around someone else's device (Alexa most recently) wakes up multiple times and responds to something we didn't say.

The worst part is, when we tell it to stop (potentially flagging it as incorrect), how do we know that conversation isn't being analyzed to "improve" the model? We never used the wake word, so we don't know how long it was listening.

It's hard for me to think of them as anything other than creepy. I want to like them; I like the idea of being able to have the convenience of vocal interactions with technology. But, until I'm convinced that it is entirely on my own terms, that's not going to happen.
same here. I feel dumbest while browsing, okay when on airplane mode and typing on a Word Processor, and smartest when I write on paper.
I ran calyx... For 1 day. I almost immediately switched to grapheneOS, as it had what I cared about.
I thought about doing the same for my T430 but found out it'll cost me ~400$ and several hours so I ended up buying a second hand t470s for 300$. I like my T430 but it is really heavy and bulky and the display quality is awful (really bad viewing angles).

Yeah, in Poland you don't wear shoes in the house, you put them on just before leaving the house. Often there's a separate room for shoes and jackets.

There are slippers for walking around in the house if you want them (and every family has "guest slippers" for when somebody comes to visit). Not taking off your shoes when you come to someone is very rude.
May is very much the operative word here.

The common and normal behaviour you want is to minimise struct size so you can fit the maximum instances in cache and memory.

The need for more precise control is very much the exception, and thus not unlike preventing inlining (which you may actually want) it could (and should) be an opt-out.
I do miss the track point controller. It’s kinda like hardware vim: difficult to learn to work with, so majority of people don’t. But once you do, it’s an absolute killer.
That's right. High-end Pixel phones (especially Pixel 1-3) have tended to depreciate quickly and become good secondhand buys after the first year. This is more valuable for LineageOS, which sometimes supports devices long after the manufacturers drop support, than for CalyxOS, which ends support within a year after the manufacturer support period ends. The Pixel 6's 5 years of vendor security updates might make it more attractive for CalyxOS as a secondhand device, if it depreciates at a similar rate.

One of the reasons for your success is the fact that you've been doing it for 20+ years.

Big providers like Gmail, Outlook, etc all have a scoring system for sender IP addresses and hostnames. The longer your IP and hostname behaves properly, the more credit it will get.

I imagine starting a new mail server with new ip addresses/hostnames may be more difficult.

There's slippers for that. Yes, even for guests. And still nobody puts a slipper on after putting on 1 sock.

I think it's mostly climate + walking culture thing. If you live in a muddy/snowy climate and people walk a lot - wearing shoes in your house is simply a no-go. You'd have to clean up constantly.
An interesting idea, sounds good, but the details would matter. For example resolving how payments work for developers / contributors on a particular project so that the cut was fair and consistent with input value (not just line / commit counts)will be challenging. Would also suggest that each collective would likely have a different governance model. Could you have your project in more than one collective? Why not I guess, but lots to details to resolve, and, knowing the FOSS community could get contentious quickly ... But best of luck with the basic idea, I like where they're thinking

Since calling it "talk therapy" might be off-putting to some people, here's my perspective. I've been participating in cognitive-behavioural therapy sessions for 4 months now, and the results have been genuinely astounding - I'm speaking as someone that would previously dismiss such things as nonsense. I've had trouble with sleep for the past 2 years, as in: I can't really recall a week where I slept well, without waking up. I had panic attacks. I had (anxiety-like) difficulties when talking with others that would qualify as a disability. I've had incredible trouble with stress. By now, all of that is nearly gone, just thanks to talking about my problems and figuring out the emotional patterns that are behind them.

That is actually the way it works. If you turn on logs (bottom right) you will see the time measured in ms for each attempt.
The measuring starts on the keydown of the fist key and stops on the keydown of the space to complete the word.
The time er only continues in case you start typing the word delete it and retype it. That counts as one attempt.
There is a linter for this I believe. There can never be an automated fix for this since code can depend on the memory layout.

Anyway, this is common in programming. At least it was not 4 bytes for the alignment.

Things like this also impact performance. We had a project where we lost both memory and speed after migrating to C++. Turned out to be the virtual destructor that was the culprit.

Simply, the cake is a quiche, but a slice is a toast.
So to sum up, they progress slowly, because something that's intended to be stuck into our most sentitive, complex and least understood organ has to be demonstrated as safe and having tangible benefits.

I see no problem with that.

If it's cost that is prohibitive, then maybe our societies should start using public money to finance such research instead of wasting it on military spending, and not rely 100% on private companies to build the technology of the future.

> Doing it automatically messes up ABI and binary libraries infrastructure.

Neither is an issue in Go, since everything’s statically compiled and it doesn’t make any ABI guarantee.

Making this opt-out (or making precise layout opt-in) actually improves the situation there, because then you have clear, explicit guarantees.

Are you/they implying that having more good movies makes something better?

Maybe I think the best sci-fi series is one with only two movies and no notable TV presence, but they're two outstanding movies. I don't think there's anything wrong with an opinion like that.
Actually, you care about shaving padding when the FIELDS are small compared to the alignment, not the structs. This frequently is a concern in Go.
It's actually caused by lack of walking. If you drive everywhere, and never put your foot on the ground - your shoes are clean enough to wear them at home.
No, I meant symptomatic spread. I don't care much about getting sick. I worry about winding up in the hospital. As far as I know, the 3rd dose of Moderna and Pfizer are both effective at keeping me out of the hospital. I don't know the exact rates, but I've met plenty of people who had mild illness recently.

> You are not mentioning the elephant in the room, the unwillingness for many companies to pay anything more than poverty level wages.

You got a second layer on that. The unwillingness to not buy from the lowest bidder.
It's brutal from both sides, consumers are extremely price sensitive and will price out living wages for workers in favor of cheap goods. A transparent example of this is airline tickets, where creature comforts have been progressively traded for cheaper fares.

Record profits seem to occur when there is some monopoly power or other situation that allows companies to keep prices high while still forcing down costs. I think the book "Rentier Capitalism: who owns the economy and who pays for it" does a great job of describing the situation. As a bonus it focuses on the UK.

My opinion is that Europe needs Federalization and Deregularization to remain globally competitive. There is plenty of room for growth (which actually tends to be fueled by immigrants) if the molasses can somehow be dissolved. Doing business in Europe is a royal PITA (imho).

My dogs growl and yip when wrestling with each other, I feel like this probably comes under the “non-aggressive vocalisation” mentioned in the article.

Growling is obviously a well known sign of fear and aggression but I guess the context is important.

> I think you are confusing thermonuclear with fission. Thermonuclear means fusion.

Huh, TIL -- I'd always thought it meant both. Like, fission also generates heat from activity of the atomic nucleus, so it's also "thermo-nuclear" in that sense.

(So, if anyone knows: Where does the term come from -- is it from the immense heat needed for fusion ignition?)

> If something is difficult for you to justify, does that mean you shouldn't have to justify it?

The burden of proof is on you as you made the original claim that recovered patients don't go into the ICU. I simply pointed out any data that backs up this claim is biased as it's impossible to know accurately distinguish recovered and first cases as people don't just randomly get tested, especially if they're asymptomatic. In addition, there's not enough PCR testing capacity so even if they want to get tested, they may not be able to.

The only data we can accurately know is the the ratio of vaccinated/partial/unvaccinated in the ICU because everybody that gets vaccinated is recorded in a database.

> I think you (and everyone else) should throw away the term antivaxxer, and say specifically what you mean

You're right, I should just call them selfish assholes. I don't know about you but it's hard to empathize with people that would rather let cancer patients metastasize while hoping their seronaive to recovered gamble works out than take a jab.
> Except that Star Trek is a TV show.

A category in which it loses handily to Babylon 5, the best sci-fi show, nay, the best show in general, ever to have been made.
I have a similar story about my 2007(?) 17" MacBook Pro, back from when Apple made serviceable products. This MBP have had many owners before again circling back to me. I have opened it up more times than I can remember and replaced most replaceable things, like swapping the optical drive for a 2nd hard disk (and back again), and even replacing the entire screen plus assembly.

"Old" hardware is totally usable for much of what I do today, but the number #1 thing that I would miss is the modern displays which are just so much kinder on my ailing eyes. Amusingly the keyboards are often better on my old devices, but the trackpads are not.

EDIT: the processor is 64-bit. I was thinking of my ThinkPad T42p (another heavily serviced unit).
You own the token. The NFT.
“Usable” isn’t acceptable when every other solution is intuitive. I don’t just want something “usable”, after 30 years of research in GUI design I expect something better than just usable from one of the largest software developers in the world.

And this is why myself and others keep saying Teams is garbage. Why settle for something that is only just barely usable when there are a dozen other solutions on the market that are highly intuitive.

I’ve lost count of the number of textual messages I’ve missed in Teams because of the appalling way groups are handled. Or the number of lost conversations because video chat conversations are blended into private 1:1 chats. It’s a fucking mess of an interface. Literally everyone else does it better.

> The mobile app is especially nice.

I couldn’t give a crap about how nice the mobile app is when 99.99% of the time I’m chatting and running meetings from my laptop. I want MS to produce a 1st class productivity tool, not TikTok.

> They are constantly adding features

I don’t want new features. As I mentioned at the start, Teams already has too many features. I just want the core user experience not to suck.

> but already meetings with hundreds of people it handles no sweat

Yet text chat between people sucks and I (like 99% of Teams user base) spend more time messaging people than we do in video conferences for 500+ people.

Your shilling here really does demonstrate just how much Microsoft have swung and missed imo. Both you and Microsoft have completely lost touch with the kind of usage that most people actually need Teams to be good at. I mean yeah, some of the features you’ve described are handy in niche situations but if the average use case is appealing (and it really is in Teams) then you find yourself lusting after other solutions most of the time.

Case in point: At my company I literally pay for Slack despite also having Teams around just because Teams sucks so badly for anything non-video. I guess we could use IRC for free but Slack has better support for in lining files (better than Teams too), better support for Markdown (better than teams too), better search in chats than Teams, better ways of organising conversations. And it’s a thousand times easier to read conversations too. It’s just better in every way for messaging. And with huddle support, it’s also not better than Teams for quick voice chats too.

And if I had to drop Slack then I’d switch to Discord, IRC, XMPP or literal anything before being stuck with Teams for all our non-video communication.

> “Plastic must be at least 96% pure by polymer type to be recycled in conventional industry.”

If I’ve read this article correctly it is about more accurately identifying the composition of plastic containers. It does not enable us to recycle mixed composition plastics (only pure plastics mixed up into the same pile). This is an important problem to solve but the food industry should be punished for using mixed plastic containers in the first place. Wether that is though bad PR or regulation is up to the country you live in. Customers should be made aware of how those recycling badges we see everywhere are more of a marketing trick than anything else and that plastic is not infinitely recyclable like glass and tin are. You are lucky to get one more use out of it.

IMO, at the very least this practice of putting plastic windows on otherwise recyclable things like cardboard just so that you can see the food inside should stop. It is a purely unnecessary marketing gimmick.
Apparently people keep missing the news that Go nowadays also does dynamic linking.
To me the stunning part is the assumption the common denominator can decide on what is or isn't quality entertainment. Going by that metric, the Bachelor, Love Island, the various talent shows and the Great British Bake-off are all beacons of culture.

Star Wars is pop culture, knights-in-space, high-octane, good vs evil. Of course it wins a popularity contest. To be clear: I'm not dissing Star Wars. It was just made to appeal to the masses and sell action figurines. It targets broader audiences. Star Trek has always been niche.
You are probably right. It would be nice if node adopted it, I agree that it's unlikely to replace, but I do hope it can at least coexist.

I use Deno mainly for simple scripts with Typescript. In nodejs I always find myself having to configure the environment, while in Deno it mostly just runs.

I also like the Deno standard library.
> Is the situation for Rust different than as described here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/208

In short: yes. The wording in that quote is imprecise: I suspect that by 'attributes', pcwalton was referring to user-definable attributes like #[serde(rename_all = "...")] and to custom derive macros like #[derive(Serializable)]. It is impossible to achieve the effects of the #[repr(C)] attribute using macros or token tree transformations.
