That's the problem - they literally do not. Technically better is not a good enough reason to change something. It has to provide some actual greater user value along axes that matter to users, and make the cost worth it. What you are seeing is that python3, well, doesn't. The options in that case are reduce cost or improve along axes that matter enough that cost is worth it.
Absolutely, and slowing down on a bike is also the way. You can generally see if someone is in a car and about to exit into the road.

I personally wouldn't filter up the left of traffic in a place like London because of the danger of the Grayling situation (or left turning lorries with no signals etc), but it's not illegal.
Where does this utility exist? I can't find it on my macOS installation.
I guess the thing is it's not actually used/viewed a lot of times as a general-purpose DB, but rather just an in-memory cache.

There are better examples they could've used in this context, like MySQL - as mentioned -, Postgres, Mongo, etc.
Should this be faster than Docker Desktop?
Isn't this a problem that the pile of money isn't ring-fenced from the general coffers?
Just seconding stuff that's already been posted by multiple people:

1) You should absolutely try both. You've already done some startups, so now would be a good time to try a big corp. They each have upsides and downsides, and it really depends on you as an individual as to which one you'll be happier at, as well as more successful at.

2) It's all about the people you work with and report to. Really, you should choose based on the team rather than the size of the company. If they are all smart, cool people you get along with, then you'll be fine even if it's a fucking bank (source: I work at a bank presently and it's great). On the other hand if they're incompetent, egotistical assholes, it's going to suck big time regardless of how many foozball tables or beer fridges the company has.

editing to add, at a big corp, a good manager should understand that their job is to insulate their reports from as much of the bullshit as possible. That's critical. You should be able to get a sense of this during the interview, even. If they're up front about the bullshit from the get go, that's a good sign. If they're actively trying to make you drink Kool-Aid... run.
I'm not sure whether I would consider spraying the same thing as leaking. (Yes, I went to an all boys high school, and yes I'm familiar with the trick.)

I hope that in the salesman's place I'd have had the calm to say, "What that really necessary?" and let it go at that. On the one hand, the splatter pattern does not suggest a leak, and he could explain what happened and get points for being cool about it. On the other hand, if there is one high school boy (by calendar or by mental age) who doesn't know the trick, then somebody else could get splattered.
Great! Mainframe is such a hard nut to crack, nobody wants to hire without decades of experience, no way to get experience without being hired.
Emojis seem very much like a net positive in terms of getting developers in western nations to think about support for non-Latin characters.

Poop emoji might be dumb, but it doesn’t seem to hurt anything and if it makes developers support Unicode better, awesome.
MacOS (Certified Unix OS) is bundled with multiple OpenSource projects since it's initial OS X release, just like many other *nix OSes. It's so easy to install your own version and override it that this is not an issue. Simple response... use brew.
> Cars weigh many tons and take up an entire lane. Bicycles do not.

Nor does my motorcycle, which is narrower than many of the bicycle+cart/recumbent bike combinations I see these days. And my car weighs far less than "many tons", less than two in fact.

> This demand that we come to a complete stop every 30 seconds

Maybe for pushbikes. But "bicycle" now includes all the electric bikes that, imho, are getting close to motorcycles in terms of speed (ie they can maintain the speed limit). Stopping every thirty seconds is just the price of using the road. If you don't want to stop then lobby for and use separate bicycle paths away from the street.
"Bizarre behavior" like not immediately throwing away hundreds of thousands of hours of work product because you said so?
Not only that, but presumably they can now also sink replacement buses, since the subway cars aren't working.
python3 is not included, unless you install Xcode. It's now a shim!
It uses heuristics to derive semantic information from the parse tree without doing a full semantic analysis.
> Back then, artificial reefs were designed to boost recreational fishing, which in 2011 generated a whopping $15 billion in state and federal taxes.

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but in Europe I sometimes see people recreational fishing on the piers at the beach for example and I can't imagine how this activity could generate 15 billion in taxes.

If the 3 mentioned states together have 20.4 million people, then every inhabitant on average is paying $700 in taxes for recreational fishing. What's going on there, how many people have this hobby and how much are they paying for it?
Anything is better than people on a collapsing bridge, obviously. But you can only fence it off when you know its too bad. Checking that can be very expensive.
So if you just don't know which of 450 bridges are bad, what do you do? Fence them all of and spark at least outrage? Safest option. Finding out what to do is already expensive
I shot a couple of rolls of K64; I'm sad that I never shot any K25.

That said my real "I wish I had..." are:

- I never printed anything with classic Centennial/Kentmere POP paper, and now nobody makes the stuff.
- I never shot any Agfa Scala (though Adox have brought something similar back)

I bought a darkroom enlarger to use the base + column as a copy stand, and I realised at that point that I would have to do some of my own printing, even just once, or I'd always feel that I'd missed out. Those few prints are among the most significant objects I own. And now I _know_ I will do it again.

Mirrorless is my day-to-day photography experience, though, with all sorts of adapted lens experiments.
In 20+ years, I have rarely seen a technical interview actually be indicative of a team’s standards. I’ve seen good, bad, and much in between, but mostly I’ve found the “standards” communicated during the interview to be purely aspirational at best.
I think you might have me confused with someone else! I do admit that last comment was snarky, but it has just been on my mind since last week when there was, in fact, a fire in a rental apartment building in my city, killing a bunch of people.
Who cares? In what way does it matter if lay people think Unicode is about emojis?
One big problem is misaligned incentives. At most big orgs, you have an infosec dept with authority to put all kinds of virus scanning, etc etc on every computer in the org. They get rewarded if there are no incidents; they do not get penalized if they make your machine impossible to use.
You've misunderstood my position. I'm not talking about vehicles with motors. Your original comment refers to "bicycles".
The study notes:

> as the participants were students, they were asked to perform the exercises and the Trataka before and after the college hours, respectively. This caused inconvenience for the students to do the activities regularly.

As mentioned from the book, the exercise has to be done regularly for 40 days at least, with the quality required as mentioned. The study itself disclaims the quality in the effort of participant, so there's not much doubt that it couldn't replicate any significant result.

Not to say that Trataka will work for everyone; however, yogic exercises are harmless (if you follow the instructions from authentic sources), and those are usually helpful if you're able to apply them properly.

So, there's no harm in trying
Sounds like an excellent reason to set your cell phone to default to a less-crappy search engine. (Not to assert that that exists, but there's ample reason to try a few.)
With all due respect, this is completely irrelevant. This same technology and better is being sold out to countries like Saudi Arabia[1] and Israel[2], which are not exactly shining beacons of human rights.

What seems to be the argument here ? "If China wants to use US tech to oppress and kill people with no regard for human rights and the rule of law... they have to PAY for it first, like all respectable totalitarians do"?

Vim movement is amazing. However, I've never seen any great benefits to learning more advanced features of the application, it's just too much to think about.
The ability to load and execute code from random places is dangerous.

That's fair. I feel the same way about your moribund federal waste meme.
I suppose this is one step closer to Dwordle and other programmer pun clones.
> English is the language of the world and we should use computers to push everyone to learn

This (and everything you wrote after) is incredibly bigoted. English is only just the most spoken language in the world. 1.35bn people have English as a 1st or 2nd language whereas 1.12bn people have Mandarin Chinese[1]. And even if it is the most popular language (by a narrow margin) why should that mean that everyone else has to speak it?

Let's imagine a world where the Chinese government got everyone (Cantonese etc.) retrained to speak Mandarin over the next 10 years so that it overtook English. Would you then change your view to think that everything should be written in Mandarin? No, you just want everyone else to adopt your own self centred approach so that you don't have to take into account anyone else's preferences.

Now I want to know your criteria.
Migrating AWS Lambda Functions to Arm-Based AWS Graviton2 Processors
FWIW - i don't disagree, and I don't expect anything in the end, it's open source. People can do what thy want.
I was more pointing out the opinion given of how the user community sucked is very broken.

What the "larger user" (however you want to frame it) community would have preferred (IMHO) is much better migration tooling, even if it came at a cost of improvements.

The dev community chose to spend time on improvements instead. That's their choice, but it doesn't make the community wrong to be upset about it.
Civilians are never targeted deliberately except in extreme circumstances, like the World Wars.
Even one atom of a heavier element cannot be simulated in the real, depending on what level of detail you want. Multi-atom simulations usually treat them as little non-quantum balls moving around in a force-field that may have been approximated from quantum mechanics.
Something part time to do to get out of the house and interact with people. I also like to take road trips to random places in America. Uber and Lyft were perfect for that to earn a little mad money doing something with flexible hours. What was really cool about Uber and Lyft is that I could drive to another city to work. I delivered food in South Lake Tahoe, drove women between wineries in the Napa Valley and did some airport runs in San Luis Obispo, but mostly I stayed in the Bay Area. I got to know some roads and areas I had never been in. I also met some really interesting people. I met VC's and people going to do their pitches in Silicon Valley. One guy practiced his pitch on me while I drove him to the meet.

I'd still be doing it if it weren't for the pandemic. I never tried driving out of California because different states and cities have different rules. For example, Portland Oregon, if I remember, requires a fire extinguisher in the car. I'll probably do it again. I want to try driving in Las Vegas since I used to live there.
Isn't that what this discussion is about? The OP said that it costs the taxpayers $1. I don't know about this specific situation - but the claim does not seem to be about paying directly for things.
I know, right? Just make the family 2 guys, one black and one white, with 4 kids of various skin tones. Everyone will definitely be happy with that representation. It’s a legitimate family after all.
> use English as the "computer language" instead.

That's how we get COBOL
A little voice in the back of my head knew accessibility might be brought up with that comment. Accessibility falls into the same category for me as users with slow machines, yes we should be doing it and the right way to do it isn't to hobble developers. Lack of accessibility (and low-end testing) is often due to management refusing the extra time to do, not because developers are just selfish. I can't tell you how many times I've been promised more time or more devices to test on and then we get close to a deadline and no one cares anymore and questions about said promises are met with "just ship it, we can do that later" or similar.
Please do not take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. It leads to predictable, tedious, and nasty flamewar—the opposite of what we want here.

I want to work with people who I trust to rewrite my code.

And of course I don't mean that you should check in code which is a mess. But from the time you start a feature to the time you open a PR, you can go through several iterations of messy code before arriving at a solution which is fit to share with your colleagues.
And yet just the other day on the python 3.10 migration in arch stuff broke and I wasted a good day hunting the error down. The solution was installing python 3.6, which should hopefully work for a year or two until THAT is left unsupported.
What’s leetcode? In my interviews they usually ask me to write pseudocode solutions to some fun, clever little problems. Like, one asked me to write a function to get the permutations of a list of arrays of strings. That one took me a few minutes to solve- should have been obvious but I did stare into space for a minute or two before giving the answer. I think I was just nervous. That was the hardest one though, all the others were easy. But you know, aside from just knowing what you’re doing I don’t know how you would grind to prepare for that.
Yes, or more that any workaround for a system is valid, rather than narrowly defined by specific rules.
Wow, 1470 light years distance. Even at warp 9, it will take over a year to get there!
For a long time, it was specifically that the Democratic party leader was from Nevada. It doesn't make the party as a whole anti-nuclear, but it makes the party oppose finishing Yucca Mountain.

I'm not sure what's going on with that now. Apparently the Democrats still oppose it. As do many Republicans, who didn't force it through when they had the chance.

As I said, it's not so much about pro vs anti nuclear but specifically about Yucca Mountain. Even pro nuclear people don't necessarily want to build there specifically. The 50-50 split means that it takes unanimity to get anything done, and neither party has it. (It takes more than unanimity, in fact, but usually much more to get past the filibuster.)
Hasn't it been tried and not succeed in the past? For instance Intel thought this was the future

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432

but it was really the 286. A counterexample is

which is a nice system and still around today but definitely niche.
> Since when are protectors a monolithic entity that can sense when a single individual is doing something unjust?

It’s not hard to see when people are looting and move away. It’s also not hard to say “hey there is looting happening here, let’s move the protest away”.

Anyone can do this. No monolithic entity required. The reason it doesn’t happen is because the protesters don’t in fact have a problem with the riots.

> But this also means if people are justly rioting all it takes is a single bad actor to throw a brick through a window in order to force everyone else to leave.

Leave, no. Move away from the vandalism, yes. If protesters did this instead of giving cover, the rioting would stop.

(Technically correct, though.)
I think it’s less of a fetish and more of a “we made a huge mistake in the initial design of the language and confused text and the encoding of that text making a giant footgun that was hard to avoid.

The migration was difficult because you had to actually think about this stuff instead of it working by accident and living as a landmine if you encountered non UTF-8 text.

The fact that you actually have to decode your bytes and specify an encoding makes it really obvious when you’ve just assumed the world is UTF-8 without really backing it up.
I think the "accused" part is the problem. Interacting with the court system is expensive both financially and emotionally. We need to be very careful where we apply it, and that means being careful about who we accuse and for what reasons.
It's not a gain even purely from the lens of consumer choice unless there is only one iteration of chip improvements ever. Why? Because if this is permitted, there will be no company A to do the research to create the next generation of chips and innovation basically halts.
The more I read about VSCode and Electron apps in general, the more I'm convinced that all this effort is akin to putting lipstick on a pig. Modern CPU designs have all converged on multi-core as the solution to increasing performance, and yet on the software side of things... we've turned all of our desktop applications into Chrome instances running single-threaded event loops. That these extensions are even more poorly optimized is more icing on the cake.
>> except that Apple doesn't have a package manager
> This is false. Homebrew is no different from any other open source package manager.

Just to quote the literal slogan of homebrew:

>The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux)

I think it is fair to say that Apple does in fact not have a package manager. Unless they do bundle homebrew with their OS nowadays?
If that's your reaction to that paragraph, I can pretty confidently predict that you would have despised him while he was alive.
Stop Storing Secrets in Environment Variables
I feel like in general Python on Mac OS is messy compared to Linux and even Windows.
Semver is a particular set of rules for defining what is a patch level, what is a minor update, and what is a major update. Before semver, these ideas still existed, but different groups had different ideas of what they meant.

That is perhaps still true in some large companies.
0 gang will never surrender.
I don't understand "capability". Surely you realize the capability is already there. Scanning an image and sending a "bad detected" message is absolutely trivial. The image classification algorithms that run locally, used for categorical search (like "dogs") are already there.

No doubt, I'm not downplaying the severity of the xcode inject issue. I'm just saying it has only happened once before that we know of and it still isn't a "breakout"/"escape"-type exploit that we see so often in Android-land.

Ask HN: Why is there no high quality method for voice control of a PC?
Like many people who have spent decades behind a keyboard, RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) prevents me from writing code and doing graphic design through the usual keyboard and mouse inputs.

So I have turned to a complex and highly unreliable software stack that provides both voice-to-text, and clumsy but limited control of Microsoft Windows, Chrome, etc. This includes Dragon Voice-to-text, Voice Computer, and Talon, plus a browser extension and heavy customization.

Users of Dragon will acknowledge that:
a) The software is a creaky dumpster fire built on archaic code
b) There is no viable alternative on the market

My question is: *how is it that no one has built something better?* The market is huge, and the Natural Language Processing of "OK Google" and Siri are quite refined at this point.

"How long is long enough to avoid breaking something the users depend on?"

10 years - a piece of software compiled with 'supported' libraries, SDKs and what have you should function for 10 years. An appliance or a service should function for 10 years and have spare parts avaliable for that long.

That is the guideline I ise as a consumer, if I can see that something won't last a decade, I won't be spending money or time on it if i can avoid it. At that point it's no longer a durable good, it's a consumable.
>It's so easy to install your own version and override it that this is not an issue.

It's easy to override it? Really? Don't forget that macOS comes with bash, zsh, ksh, tcsh... You have to override it in each of those!
