This article makes a number of odd claims about Project Builder. I'm not sure what passes for an "IDE" nowadays, but Project Builder did not have an editor at all: I'd think that'd be a defining feature of an IDE. The editor distributed with NeXTSTEP was the completely separate Edit.app (later known as TextEdit.app on OS X). Project Builder was just (1) a GUI wrapper for make (2) a project file manager, and (3) a GUI wrapper for gdb. That's it. Project Builder was neither connected to Objective C, nor to Interface Builder, nor to Edit.app. And while Interface Builder was revolutionary, Project Builder was prosaic and far from first of its kind. Here's NeXT's own documentation on PB:

http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Docs/NeXTStep/3.3/nd/...

XCode was a massive improvement over ProjectBuilder, not the least of which because it had an integrated editor. It was an actual IDE.
That’s a great attitude. I have worked with managers that were smart enough to understand this. But they are rare I think.
Have been in Argentina for the past year and honestly the amount of paper cash I need to carry with me for most basic of use is ridiculous, so they're soon going to have to create bigger bills or reset again.
Man I tell you HN comments just keep getting more and more intelligent.
It wouldn't. But that wouldn't matter as much if there was less demand for housing in general.
Haha what?? Look all over this thread, Bluetooth has just Stockholm-syndromed everybody, and the phone manufacturers are only too happy to drop the jack.

My anecdata is that as an exclusively wired headphone user, my shit ALWAYS works. Meanwhile my bluetooth zoom/discord counterparties are consistently making remote work a drag because:

- I can't hear the beginning or end of their sentence (some kind of bluetooth gating/noise cancellation that doesn't work)

- Connection drops

- 10-25 seconds of start-of-call fumbling (like in TFA)

- No backup if their P.O.S. bluetooth airpod whatever is really dying or even just having a fight with their device that the user gives up in disgust. I have a backup wired $5 headset ready to go anytime (and use it like once every two years).
Our corporate IT folks have a Zero Trust Manifesto in which there are enrolled devices (laptops that remote SREs can carry around), there are enterprise applications, and there's connectivity between these (e.g., tunnel pairs). SREs often need to write scripts that operate on sensitive production data from the enterprise applications, but must do this work directly on an enrolled device.

Pre-Zero-Trust days seemed safer. Copying production data to a laptop wasn't allowed. Instead, each SRE had their own Linux VM in the data center, accessible from home and able to run the scripts (with connectivity to the enterprise application). This prevented a whole class of realistic attacks in which a laptop (while unlocked/decrypted) is taken by an adversary. Admittedly, in return, we're protected from a possible, but less likely, attack in which a Linux VM is compromised and used for lateral movement within one segment of the enterprise network. (An enrolled device has to be in the user's possession; it can't be any machine, Linux or Windows, in the data center or office.)

The only people who love this are our enterprise application vendors. Our bosses are paying them a TON more money to implement new requirements where, in theory, all possible types of data analysis can be done directly within the enterprise application. No more scripts, no more copying of data. No more use of Open Source. And, of course, people from these same enterprise application vendors advise the government that Zero Trust must be a top priority mandate.
Agreed, it is probably not worth it if you want to stay close to js.

Sad though, it's a great feature.
debuggex makes really nice railroad diagrams.
Yes it's frowned upon, but there is another guy who does it all the time, and once I commented on it and I got downvoted to oblivion for that, so shrug.
What does implementing semaphores have to with this?

When it comes to writing firmwares or an OS, nothing can substitute for hands-on experience with actual hardware.
glad to see this is on iOS now! it looks great!
I pay for a full family premium plan, and I am very confident that the majority of premium Spotify customers either support Rogan or are indifferent in this issue.

You decide whether you want to continue paying your premium plan. Spotify will acquire the content it believes is best for all users. You do not control their decisions just because you pay the subscription.
> It's fascinating that Google, the stewards of Android, have refused to solve any of those problems. The most successful operating system in history is managed by a company who refuses to solve its deficiencies.

I wouldn't say that they've refused to solve its deficiencies; Google is not to blame for nor do they have any control over the Linux kernel's development practices. The kernel developers don't want to have stable APIs and the natural result is that out-of-tree drivers are poorly supported.
Even knitting dates back only to about 1100 AD, which somewhat staggers me.

They also say there there was no voter fraud at the same time they call for reforms to stop fraud. If you read the bills you referenced you'll see they don't do what you have been told they do.

Python 3.0 came out in 2008, python 2.7 was supposed to reach end of life in 2015, it was extended until 2020.

It's now 2022.

That's all the justification they need.
It's a challenge. One time I applied for a job at a university and left out the fact that I had a PhD, something my boss found out about a few months after I got hired.

The fact was the rest of my resume was strong and the job was a good fit. It
would have been a reasonable guess that I was trying to "get a foot in the door" and move to a "better" position but that was (and is) not the case at all.
This doesn't surprise me at all.

If you're reading and you're really determined to overcome corruption, you need to document everything. Getting the other auditor on board would be good too. Make sure you assert that the privilege of holding office is yours, provide the certificate, and show them the laws. If they still deny you the authority and position, then look up a PA law called official oppression. Report this crime to the police. If they decline to cite/arrest, look up the process for filing a private criminal complaint. The DA could still decline to prosecute, but you could appeal that decision to a judge. Good luck (my experience is nobody in the system actually cares and they'll side with the establishment).
Reading The Fine Manual here : (https://blockprotocol.org/spec) - blocks are expected to include code to render the block information in a displayable format. So, a block isn't just the data model, it's also the view layer. Some options suggested in the spec include React, vanilla HTML, and Web Components. This part feels a little mushy at the moment, since there's no proposal yet for how a Block identifies which rendering context it expects.
Recently implementers of unicode have censored the gun emoji in a way that changes the meaning of many existing online chats and comments. So you can't easily or accurately represent things even with unicode.

Emoji have never been effective or consistent at conveying meaning; at best they convey something to someone in the same subculture and time period, and often not even that. Given that unicode implementers are ok with erasing the meaning of some of them, it should be ok to eliminate more of them.
With all due respect (seriously) - you're making the problem worse. The problem is national politics sucks all the attention in the political arena away from
local politics. Suggesting that people add yet another competing attention grab that occupies not only the politics but the local politics itch is just another push away from listening to what city hall is doing in their town.

There's also the fact that if Santa Monica's politics are that interesting, then people are more likely to be disappointed with how boring their local
politics are.
This one [0] references omicron specifically, noting that though omicron is better at evading immunity, vaccines still helped.

Yes. The taxpayers can elect new officeholders.
I wish more devs continued to realize that CPU is precious. One executable running in isolation is only limited by how fast it can consume clock cycles, but we now have hundreds of executables each running dozens or hundreds of functions all the time. One unoptimized IO function can cause stutters across the whole system as it runs. Thousands of unoptimized IO functions can....

Well, we all know. We use systems like that daily.
I'm on the Legacy G Suite free plan with just only an email @mydomain account that is my main email.

I will like if they make a small fee plan that has a regular consumer Google Account with the only extra feature of a custom domain. That's it. No Workspace features, admin, multiple users and all that company related stuff.

I'm pretty sure at the end I will pay for Workspace starter plan ($6/month), don't want to deal with migration to other service.
There's a (small) chance none of them are compensated. My municipality is all volunteer.

This appears to be the synthetic jet fuel from Virent. It is made from light carbohydrates and other small organic molecules by their "Bioforming" process. This removes oxygen from the molecules by reaction in solution with hydrogen gas and a ruthenium catalyst. The resulting hydrocarbon molecules are then put through a reforming process where they are linked together and isomerized to get the right distribution of molecular weights.

I've followed this process for a while. It yields more energy than ordinary biomass approaches, since it can also incorporate the energy of the hydrogen input stream. This is good, because biomass has terrible efficiency at conversion of sunlight to fuel. No CO2 need be produced; the oxygen is carried away as water. One can think of the biomass as more of a carbon source than (just) an energy source. It also tolerates a wider variety of input molecules than enzyme-based approaches.

IANAL, I'm pretty sure the only question that matters is if Section 1 of the Charter [0] is sufficient to meet the government's goals. If not, Section 33 certainly is.

Since 1986, the Oakes test has become the way to determine Section 1's applicability.

The former legislators thoughts and experiences of 1981/1982 are simply irrelevant in our legal system [1].

Subjective, so nope. It's more a tradeoff. Wires are reliable and "just work" (see title of TFA), so the small convenience issues you describe do not make them "sub-par". Indeed I think the terrible experience I see others having on meets/calls is "subpar" and in a remote world, IMO, unacceptable.
ICU is out there with bindings in many languages. People who know what they're doing use ICU.
You are absolutely right. When I lived in Europe, the US was often used as an example of how bad things can get when you prioritise profits more than people. The US culture is brutal to the less capable/unlucky citizens.
Blackberry?

It hasn't received much attention since being purchased by Zoom, but Keybase still works fine. You get other handy things like encrypted file sharing and git repos, too.
Didnt know this existed, interesting, but certainly could be useful at a forensic level, have had tools to highlight slow running multi threaded code in apps for probably about 15years now, but this takes it to a whole new level.

From their manuals
"The Intel® Processor Trace (IPT) works similar to the LBR and BTS feature of Ix86 based cores (see “CPU specific Onchip Trace Commands” (debugger_x86.pdf)"

I knew about the debugger on ARM cpu's like the Rpi, didnt know about Intel having one, but its suggested AMD dont have one either, so there might be some security reason for that, depends on if the trace is just output only or whether its possible to use things like SOIC clips to alter bits and bytes in realtime, but like slowed down not normal cpu clock speeds.
The fact that local media has been pretty much disappeared doesn't help. I live in a small city and they few times I've tried to see what was going on (I missed a couple infrastructure public information meetings) I was thankful the local university has a student paper.
If the concern is hospitals being overwhelmed for long periods of time, then there's really no reason not to just let them get overwhelmed all the way. They can return to normal working conditions earlier, and people can get important surgeries again.

not mutually exclusive.
I’m normally cool under pressure and able to solve technical problems quickly. But in a situation where what matters isn’t actually solving the problem but evaluating my performance and my brain goes into overdrive with perfectionism/meta thinking about what they are thinking about me to the point where I sometimes can’t even do basic math.
Surely that's an incentive for the supervisors to swear in a quorum of auditors? Otherwise who's going to determine their compensation?
Meh, if they're $5 headsets/earbuds they at worst harm themselves (so I pop out another $5 headset to last 1-3 years without issues)
Actually, Interface Builder predates NeXTSTEP. Like all revolutionary tools, IB was originally in Lisp. It ran on the Mac.
You're under no obligation to have children but historically it has been very rare for anyone to have a "guaranteed" position. The norm of human existence has been brief periods of stability punctuated by wars, famines, epidemics, depressions, and disasters. Yet through it all our ancestors kept reproducing. Our problems today are minor by comparison.
Louisiana schools closed in March of 2020 toward the end of the month. In August/September they were virtual learning only for a while, and it was not good, or so I was told.

Essentially, they got a "pass" for 2020 regardless of what their grades were, without ever stepping back into class or remote learning.

We also had a massive hurricane and two smaller ones that year, and that had more people at home in October than the SARS-CoV-2 virus did.

Either way, assuming other states allowed or encouraged remote learning and continue to this day, as of, say April of this year we enter year 3 of remote learning. I'm on mobile so I could be wrong, but I believe the original post said "going on/into 3 years at this point" - or at least that was how I interpreted it.
You take the case to some judges and they tell you you have "no standing".
This is comically out of touch with both how schooling works now and how the adult world will react to these kids' experience when they mature.
They tried.
Removing a sunsetted, deprecated language is hardly a breaking change. If you're going to use old stuff the onus is on you to do whatever crazy workarounds are needed. Python 3 came out almost 15 years ago.
> Every day, I feel like we inch closer and closer to a rupture that will cannot be repaired without severe measures.

What is valid about this hyperbolic statement? We live in the most peaceful and productive time in history.

The past 100 years of history have shown us the horrors of what happens when things rupture.
I'd say "garlic olive oil" is a different category where its name already implies a mixture of these two things, and from that name you'd expect the resulting product to contain both garlic and olive oil, and be mostly olive oil (and would be mislabeled if it's actually artificial garlic flavor, or actually canola). It's the unqualified naming that I'm objecting to, in general.

Anyway, I think the EU regulation quoted sounds pretty reasonable also, assuming something about how reasonably prominent such information would need to be.

Will certainly dig into this. Nice work.

Respectfully, I think we’ve reached max abstractions and tooling with react and various tools. Feels cumbersome like j2ee circa 2000.

I can see the “it’s JS without JS” concept. HTML is declarative. Why not get back to that by writing it in a text editor. Simple. This and the various new frameworks and lighter techniques I think will catch on over the next decade or so.
This seems to run counter to the current hygiene hypothesis, which is the current mainstream scientific opinion on one aspect of allergy development. Children in developed countries are decreasingly exposed to various microorganisms, and this is thought to result in increased rates of allergic disorders.
And if you think that being homeless in the US, being beaten up by people eager to steal your few belongings, raped by strangers and ignored by the police, freezing to death during the winter etc. is better than being a king then you are watching too many feel-good rags-to-riches Disney movies.
I have JavaScript disabled on my phone.

Without technical measures, the web is just painful. Sites take long to load, they jump around, obscure the viewport with all kinds of sticky content, show maliciously compliant cookie screens, interrupt reading with delayed newsletter popups - there's just no end to it.

On the desktop there are extensions to get an acceptable experience but not on iOS. Disabling JS may be radical but it yields a butter smooth, battery efficient, mostly crap-free experience. For problematic sites there's the back button or a back up browser with JS enabled.
That, and MMIO. Lots and lots of mapping memory ranges/addresses to peripherals.
In theory, if the town cares about money, this will lead to the people in charge losing the next election.

In practice I'm sure this is mostly just people who do almost nothing for anyone collecting tax dollars for themselves with no consequences.

That's what the auditors are supposed to be for, after all.
Covid didn't make economic and social lockdowns.

Governments did.
Apple's Q1 Results
> I mean honestly, can we all name the members of our city council, our mayor, etc.

Of course I can. Off the top of my head:

City Council:

Lisa Herbold - neighborhood

Teresa Mosqueda - at large

Sara Nelson - at large, newly elected

Mayor:

Bruce Harrell - newly elected, replaced Jenny Durkan after one term. Was previously on the city council for 13 (?) years.

City Attorney:

Ann Davison - newly elected, replaced Pete Holmes who failed to advance through the primary after 12 years.

County Executive:

Dow Constantine - narrowly re-elected. Recently granted additional power to appoint the county sheriff.

These are the elected positions I vote on. I am also aware of appointed positions like parks, police, and city transit. I’m aware of the the parts of the council I don’t vote for.

I’m also aware of policy. Hazard pay for grocery workers. Attempting to stop catalytic converter theft. Fixing the bridge. Mask mandates. Public transit expansion. Defunding police.

I get a lot of my coverage of these events from the hyperlocal blog that covers my neighborhood. I have their number saved to text reports when I see them. They publish coverage of most local government meetings. I visit that site as often as HN.

flock(2) being the name of the existing file-locking primitive on Linux, this is a terrible name for a new locking library.

I don't know a lot about US law specifically, but this sounds a bit more like an administrative law issue than a criminal one... My instinct would be to look at filing an application for judicial review, no? (Note: IANAL)
Be thankful for your government, it's the best that money can buy.
That’s interesting. I have never heard of a problem that could be solved in a sub-typed language but not in a Dependently Typed language. I am honestly interested. Perhaps give an example?
The email says they have no supervisors.
Or you can look at the source and see the list of words. They're sequential, so you know every future word. The "Wordle 222" is actually just the 222 index into the array.
That is a job for the government. They should have made electronic payments and electronic accounts for everyone a utility many years ago.
From my perspective the only thing you need to learn a subject like math or physics is the problem sets.

My son did not engage with the the tutorial videos at all from the math curriculum. I had to supply coaching and some instruction with the goal of getting him able to do the problems. I got a PhD in a quantitative field so I didn't find it that hard.

Myself I had a lot of trouble in the public schools, somehow I became a magnet for bullying and that made everything else impossible. In my case they tried everything from special ed to having me take classes at the high school part time when I was in the 4th and 5th grades. At the beginning of the 6th grade my parents really had it and took me out of school for two years where I got some tutoring in English from the school system but mostly read 10 books a week from the library, programmed my TRS-80, etc. I skipped 1 grade and started high school halfway through the freshmen year. At that point I didn't have problems with boys but was pretty sad because I was a zero with girls...
Sure, DAOs (Decentralized autonomous organizations[0]) have been around for a few years but lately people have been using them to fund raise and try to buy stuff. Famously, "ConstitutionDAO" raised over $40M in an attempt (emphasis on attempt) to buy one of the copies of the US constitution.

Another DAO, "Krause House" is attempting to buy an NBA team.[1]

Instead of having one investor buy a domain, people could fund a DAO to buy the domain. Projects might be able to buy unusually expensive domains that way.

Not really:

- You cannot censor a Bitcoin transaction. You are talking about a completely unrelated issue and pretending this is an issue with Bitcoin.

- People in China are still mining Bitcoin and using crypto even with the ban. So it truly is global. Just like how drugs are global even though most countries have banned them: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/18/chinas-underground-bitcoin-m....

- Miners have tried to prevent changes to the Bitcoin and Ethereum protocol more than once and failed due to community consensus of the users. Miners don't get to decide which protocol is run, the users ultimately do. If the miners choose to mine an unpopular protocol, people can and will simply fork the chain to a more favorable protocol. This has happened plenty of times.
