I've noticed that everyone with kids tends to do two things: one is that they get along with other people who've had kids and they use that to create instant bonds of mutual understanding. And the other is that they take opportunities to convince those without kids to get kids. While I don't take offense, I do feel that there is usually an implication in there that someone without kids is somehow less trustworthy or less of a 'good' type of person, or inferior even.

It's definitely a cop out. There are probably as many assholes with kids as there are without kids in this world.

> TornadoVM accelerates parts of your Java applications on heterogeneous hardware devices such as multicore CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.

So a HVM-like interpreter could be written in Java or variants thereof (instead of Rust), in order to take advantage of TornadoVM to run efficient lazy evaluation on exotic devices.

I used to work with someone who was an avid cyclist, in his mid 50s, and insisted you didn't need a helmet when cycling because 'if you think about it, when you're falling, you will use your hands to stop yourself - so all you really need is a decent pair of gloves'.

He was totally serious, and I assume the previous poster might also be. It's a slightly bizarre viewpoint, but not that dissimilar - this idea that you should wear a helmet to start with, and then stop wearing it once you're confident that you no longer need it because you know how to fall without it.
Lack of reliable service from plumbers, HVAC, appliance repair people. There are many people available but the quality and consistency of service is highly variable and chances of getting ripped off are high if you don't do your due diligence. I wish there was more standardization in these services where I don't have to worry about getting ripped off and can expect a decent quality of service without spending too much time on looking up vendors, reading reviews etc. If I want get a leaky washer fixed I don't want to spend my entire weekend to try to figure out if it can be DIY or not. I should just be able to call a reliable service, pay a reasonable price and get if fixed.

Android Studio (I have a recent macbook pro), I still have trouble running it fluently. it's so slow.

Confluence (slow and the awkward editor. I often need to directly modify the raw html to get the page rendered correctly. for example when needing to add long paragraphs under one bullet point.)

Jira, so slow and complex.

Gimp, its usability is the worst. but no other alternatives under linux.
Here's my take on it:

1. People getting rowdy on planes recently is probably due to masking requirements

2. Airplanes have very efficient ventilation

3. Omicron is harmless to most people

4. Most people are vaccinated and protected against serious disease (Delta being the threat here, which has almost disappeared completely)

Simply remove the mask mandates and the problem will go away by itself (or at least return to normal).

So wait...

Just to be clear:
Are you asserting that the fact people are building/taking into account logistics to protest for the long haul with regards to something they vehemently disagree with detracts from the legitimacy of the act of protesting?

If so, wow. That's low-key\backhand authoritarian to a T; defining legitimate protest as something that isn't in the grand scheme of things effective at disrupting something enough people disagree with, and anything that does make a dent either terrorism or something else.
Every truck union and federation has denounced the protests. Despite the protests, everything is operating logistically completely normally.

It isn't "truckers". Some participants brought trucks because they a) have sleeping facilities, b) have big loud horns, c) take a lot of space and are hard to remove. That doesn't make it a trucker protest anymore than someone riding a bicycle there would make it a bicycle protest.
This post is a good counter example to all the people in this thread saying "just have kids, that'll solve your problems". It's such an unbelievably narrow view that ignores the complexity of human existence.

I've used Inkscape for MacOS for many years off and on. Thank you very much for having made that possible.

Recent versions have been very difficult to use because of the performance degradation. But my gratitude is not diminished even if I am basically forced to find something else.

Cross-platform GUI is an incredibly difficult problem because 1. GUIs are huge and complex, and 2. Vendor lock-in is in the interest of the platform purveyors. GTK exists in a challenging space, and I empathize not only with the downstream users such as Inkscape affected by its troubles but with the GTK developers.

If it were easy to produce a featureful, performant, and developer-friendly cross-platform GUI library, someone would have done so. The demand is so acute that many projects even resort to the outrageous brute-force approach of Electron.

I love all FOSS cross-platform GUI endeavors, even when they get tripped up. You are doing great and important work — I salute you.

EPSG:4326 doesn't really use lat/lon. Sure, it's in the spec, but that part is irrelevant. Everything is stored in lon/lat for any relevant format when the projection is EPSG:4326. There have been some unfortunate decisions lately to make common APIs expect y,x if the projection is EPSG:4326 and x,y for pretty much everything else, but that's a backwards compatibility break that's going to wreak a fair amount of havoc.

It's also worth pointing out that a lot of this is conflating display order in UIs (which usually is lat/lon, often in DMS) with storage order and API conventions (which are usually lon/lat).

You could always do something like:
int divRes = IntA/intB;
double something = divRes*5.342;

At the very least it could warn me. I just tried it in rust and that will error out if you try to divide two ints and store the result in a float which is fine by me.
Iiyama also has both a digital signage and a desktop monitor as competition, both using MVA panels (the former's is even rated at 5000:1 typical static contrast).

They might well be cheaper; I switched to the digital signage one as my daily driver because my old 40" 4k's backlight PSU has become too weak to be useful and that model of screen got EOL'd (the desktop variant I mentioned above was released 2~3 months after I bought mine).

But unless you can color-calibrate yourself on the source, I'd recommend against the digital signage models as they don't offer any color profiles/factory calibration.
It's just that the day to day instances of "AI" that you might run into are nowhere near the level of hype they initially got. For instance all kinds of voice assistants are just DUMB. Like, so so bad they actively put people off using them, with countless examples of them failing at even the most basic queries. And the instances where they feel smart it looks like it's only because you actually hit a magic passphrase that someone hardcoded in.

My point is - if you don't actually work with state of the art AI research, then yeah, it's easy to see it as nothing more than overhyped garbage, because that's exactly what's being sold to regular consumers.
I find the sentence, "right to remain anonymous online," intriguing. Since when do we have this right? Where is this right written, and who decided we had it? I wouldnt be at all surprised if a poll of the HN community found that we all thought that we had (or should have) this right, but when did we all collectively make that decision? Since some time around 2014 I've been advocating in private around the issue of automated inanity engines and their rise to prominence. IMO online anonymity does more harm then good right now, and we still havent seen the full power of things like GPT-3 in the hands of nation state actors (or maybe we have and just dont know it).
Found another Norwegian brewery and just commented on broken unicode support...

I think 'at least four' is a bit underwhelming considering the craft beer explosion that has been going on the last decade. Seems like everyone with a kettle is brewing nowadays. And I would expect homebrewing to be especially popular in Norway where beer taxes are through the roof.
> If I want to do something and the language makes it difficult, telling myself “oh but it’s a DSL” doesn’t get me any closer to solving my problem.

Unless the thing that makes the language difficult is your expecations. In that case, offering you an alternative mental model that helps you make better decisions when using the language does get you closer to solving your problem.
If I understand correctly, you're proposing that we trust a set of individuals and hope that they'll cooperate when asked to, instead of relying on a single party which can be made to cooperate whether they like or not by the judicial system. That doesn't seem like an improvement to me.

I've been a huge AeroPress fan for years (at least 15 I think), but recently moved to a house with a massive kitchen and bought a good mid-range espresso machine and I have to admit, I'm in love with it. I got this one [0] for reference and it's filled with really clever design touches. Only the quality of the steam control dial lets it down, in every other respect it's superb. The AeroPress has gone in a drawer and not been seen since.

Edit: Meant to add, actually the entire flow including steaming the milk is faster and less messy than the AeroPress too.

That's ok to feel like that but you are basically arguing that if I don't want children I have a meaningless life and that I am a second class citizen of Earth and the only purpose of life is to have children.

Having a child is a huge responsibility. It's not just something you can try out and see if it works for you or not.

Honestly, I think you are in a parent bubble or something. I don't quite understand your hardcore stance on must-have children.

Why and how humans behave around each other is a subject that fascinates me. For example, I have noticed that people often sniff when you cross them.

Thx a lot.

Your last point is why I don't really see the hype over RISC-V from an end-user perspective. Companies manufacturing RISC-V processors are free to add whatever private extensions (or backdoors) they want. And unlike software, you can't easily reverse engineer it to discover them.
Those are confessions that those responsible for these messages are targeting you. You haven't provided irrefutable proof they are real, but I chose to believe them.

They want to provoke you to claim there's a conspiracy, because in this cultural context that claim is never treated with respect, and forfeits the few real protections society provides against this.

Conspiracies abound, it's not remarkable. The Bible is full of them. History is full of them. Courts deal with them on a daily basis.

Just think, how many sports people carry out alone, and how many are team sports? In the same way, how many forms of harm can be carried out alone, and how many can be carried out in a group?

Read up on the law in this regard, it's a totally different story if you say "there's a conspiracy" or "they're out to get me" (never ever say that, that always backfires), or if you say "I found evidence of meeting of the minds" or "I'm seeing messages that are gloating that they are harming me". That's a totally different story. And you need to have higher status first, society won't help you with this normally. So work on your presentation as much as you can. I see your sentences are grammatical and the development of the logic is linear; this is good.

I actually would get off social networks, or limit it to the max. Try to get offline as much as possible. It's just really hard. But for instance you can start using well-litigated forms of communication, like land lines and the mail, and just paying what it costs for long-distance phone calls. Read an actual newspaper instead of news aggregators, not a whole lot of javascript and cookies on the print edition. All that encryption shit, like hey there's this great new app that covers the exact vulnerability you have, that sucks because then you're trusting the dude who made the app, too, and who knows what bugs he left in his code. Only the absolute best can be trusted, and not completely.

This stuff is expensive. It is all expensive. It's the cheapest thing to get everything for free and give up your data, basically (and especially in your case, I think you'll get a little laugh out of this despite your suffering if you follow my dark humor) you're selling your soul, lol.

One thing you can do that's cheap is when you're online, mislead. Don't always click on links you're actually interested in, search for things you don't give a shit about, be dishonest in your browsing basically.

It also sounds like your case isn't hardcore. It's persistent, and it's everywhere online, but it's just some guy or guys doing cheap, easy stuff that anyone can do with like four dollars of targeted ad spending, and two dollars of data bought off a broker. It looks like they're just measuring how well their psy-ops work by seeing how you react. They're not actually going to send someone to come get you where you live, that's expensive and dangerous and you're not that important to them.

I do some of this stuff as a hobby, I just have fun with security. You can claim the same thing, that you're just doing it as a passion.
Imagine the other extreme where every single executable on the system statically linked libc. Assuming libc calls are pretty common(which I think is safe) I would expect the cache to get trashed.
As an author of a language myself and going through the process of documenting it, let me assure you that writing technical docs is several orders of magnitude harder than writing comments on HN. And not only is it hard but it is also extremely time consuming and far less interesting than writing code too. Yet it needs to be done. To that end, the value of community support in writing documentation can never be overstated. So if you have any issues specific issues with his documentation then I'm sure the author would welcome a pull request.

No one promised me AGI so idk what you're on about and that certainly wasn't the promise billed to me when things thawed out this time but the results have pretty undeniably changed a lot of tech we use.

The 3dFX Voodoo2 - amazing leap in 3D gaming

The oculus quest 2 - VR for the masses, so much fun, actually works well for the first time without $$$

Most recently Apple Silicon, specifically the Apple M1 MacBook Air:

- it runs dead silent

- it runs cool on my lap

- it has a tiny charger

- but mostly the performance blows away all non plugged in laptops besides other m1s and most desktops consuming many more watts at much higher temps and noise level

Its amazing how much a difference having full performance while on battery makes compared to x86 counterparts. I was a linux on thinkpad guy for years but this made me flip back fullstop.

> in general hail from the cultural roots that made Ulysses subversive.

I don't buy this. I think you're really underestimating what it means for something to be genuinely subversive. It does not mean following fads, it means making an effort to make you aware of something worth knowing about the world, the human condition etc., even at the cost of making you feel deeply uncomfortable about it. For all the controversy about it, one can at least make a colorable argument that the "filth and obscenity" in that one section of Ulysses managed to do that. But pronouns? They're just the silly creed of a new woke religion. They tell you nothing except how self-centered young folks can be these days, and it's not like we weren't aware of that already. The best thing about pronouns is that everyone gets to pick their favorite.
