sgml is the precursor to XML, with dsssl as the precursor of XSLT and DTD as the precursor to XML schema and relax-ng.

The first "final" sgml standard document was published in 1986, the initial draft was available in 1980.

http://www.sgmlsource.com/history/sgmlhist.htm

The first html spec was thus accompanied with a DTD.

CERN was heavily involved in the sgml standardization, thus it was natural for Tim Berners-Lee at cern to go the sgml route with html.
Besides the fact that what Christianity says is irrelevant in the realms of US law and morality, religious figures have long been the biggest opponents of interracial marriage. Plenty of Christians point to Genesis 11 and Acts 17:26 to support arguments against interracial marriage. The KKK burns crosses to "symbolize faith in Christ". If the zeitgeist of Christianity can change its stance on people of color, it's simply bigotry to argue that LGBT folks are different. Keep your revisionist nonsense to yourself.
I actually distinctly remember that the internet started to deteriorate rapidly the year Trump got elected because he completely took over social media and the news cycle. He was the topic in all comment sections, even when you watched a video on completely unrelated topics, or read a technical subreddits. It was crazy. At the end of his election, Trump was banned from social media, and I feel like there is some fresh air now in the internet. There's still some lingering stench for sure, but I think you were actually "lucky" to miss the worst of it all.
Thanks so much. Looks like a great option!

Worry a lot :) your extension might just wrongly open with an wrong Software because it's associated/linked just to that program. Like .doc is linked to Word.

So it's better to choose w unique extension. Since we're out of 8.3 era - nothing holds you from the 8.4 or xxx.5 scheme.
The only thing is to keep an eye onto what filesystems can take. NTFS is suitable for 256 characters, but I'm not sure if the dot and extension is within this maximum or not.
The Economist is old school liberal: let companies do what they want (US "right-wing"), let people do what they want (US "left-wing"), but unlike US libertarians, also have some regulation and support in place to prevent the worst abuses.
Family sharing is a step in the right direction but in the old days with CD:s, you could buy it once and play multiplayer games together with your family and friends. Now you need separate accounts for everyone and a copy of each.

In Sweden we pay a tax on each harddrive and other storage media to cover this sharing. It's alled Private sharing tax. It's distributed between creators by some organisation. Steam and other online stores prevents this law from working as intended. This has put me off Steam from the beginning already.

I believe Steam got so big because they were first to deliver what everyone wanted, buy games without having to wait until release in your country. In Sweden we often had to wait half a year or more before the games showed up. I did not buy games on Steam for years because of the sharing aspects. I wanted to be able to share the good games with my kids or friends. On steam you don't own the games, you only rent them for a one time fee. Steam can take them down at any time.
In BC more people died of elevated levels of overdoses (eg. just what was above average) than COVID.

As of this post, 36,116 and not millions of people died of COVID in Canada, and the removal of vaccine mandates / mask mandates are inline with the recommendations of the Chief Public Health Officer. The people were pretty much protesting to get Trudeau to follow the medical recommendations of the Health Officer.

In most countries where masks and vaccine mandates have been eliminated, infections have gone down. Denmark's peak was the last day of restrictions.
Ask HN: So, did Moore's Law die or not?
In the 2010s there was a lot of doom and gloom about Moore's Law being dead, and the need for new paradigms to speed up computers in the future. For instance, the following article from Technology Review:

https://www.technologyreview.com/2016/05/13/245938/moores-law-is-dead-now-what/

However, it seems that this may have changed recently. ASML's EUV lithography machines have been said to be able to reignite Moore's law. It's visible from a number of sources:

https://www.google.com/search?q=asml+euv+moores+law

However, there's a lot of hype and bullshit out there, and I can't tell what's legit or not, so I turn to the knowledgeable people of HN. Is Moore's Law actually dead? Are these EUV lithography machines really such an innovation that they have extended Moore's law? If not, then how DOES computing hardware get faster from here, and what does the answer mean for programmers?
Started doing this a couple years ago. Completely agree with the author.
Lol. The selectivity of Western liberal concern. Because nothing says conflict-free like Paul Kagame's little dictatorship.

Can you expand on the “US foreign policy bias”? For the last couple years I feel like most of the Economist’s opinion of US policy could be summed up as “bungling”.

E.g. they’re critical of the withdrawal from the TPP, the introduction of protectionist tariffs, the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, the half-baked “Build Back Better World” counter to Belt and Road, pretty much all of recent immigration policy, etc.

I’m having a hard time thinking of a recent US foreign policy move they seemed in favor of. Maybe the tougher stance against China?

Or is the bias that they’re too critical of US foreign policy?
'All those agencies failed us’: inside the terrifying downfall of Boeing
As in an old joke that rings true to anyone living outside the US, in US politics you have, on the one hand, an extreme right-wing party, far to the right of anything in other countries; and on the other hand, you have the Republican party.

It's absolutely true that on cultural issues (particularly rights of minorities), the Democratic party and even the Economist is actually left or even far left compared to many world countries.

But on economic matters, the Economist's positions, and indeed Democratic party positions, are indeed far right-wing of what you'll see virtually anywhere else (maybe other 5-eyes countries are getting closer?).

Also, on foreign policy, the media and political parties in the US almost speak with a single voice, which is often, again, far outside mainstream opinion in the rest of the world.

True, but so long as you play it at roughly the same time every day, you're going to encounter a new puzzle at that time, time zone differences notwithstanding.
I'm sorry but it does sound ridiculous, ridiculous beyond belief. I think the words "get a hold of yourself" are appropriate here. Using emergency powers to clear away a disruptive protest (which stretches the definition substantially, in that it was blocking streets and border crossings) is hardly dictator for life material.

Do you know what "minority government" means? It means that if he loses support of the other parties he's toast.

Come back to us and tell us about "no more PMs in Canada" when he's had his mob stage a January the 6th style event and he refuses to step aside in the face of an election.

It's pretty relevant. A simple arithmetic equation becomes Turing complete if a helper system is attached to execute it over and over on the previous output.

The class of things that are Turing complete with one button push is much smaller than the class of things that can run a single step of a Turing machine per button push.

I'm not here to argue about which one is the "real" Turing complete, but they're very distinct groups, and I'd say that getting into the former is significantly more impressive and interesting than the latter.
What makes a good teammate is so subjective that any objective measure will be gamed before you can say "Goodhart's law". A proper evaluation of a candidate necessarily turns into a hunt for indirect signals where if you say loudly the name of the information source, you will banish it in the abyss of good stuff gone to hell. That's why resume driven hiring works for low-level positions and when you really have something to loose, the recruiter seeks and evaluates a candidate much before the first face to face.

Not he did the deals, bit his employees. No one knows why no deal has been signed. No one knows what qualities the employees had. And that don't diminish what the guy did from the marketing perspective and from a company leader view as quite a lot of people fell for his charisma otherwise no one would work for him.

Now imagine this backed by a real company
What I learned making $60k on AppSumo
My friends and I love Wordle. I made a Discord bot that picks a random French word every day at 8 AM and 8 PM, and we guess it in the chat. I added a rule so that you can't make two guesses in a row, in other words players must take turns making guesses, so one person cannot just brute force the game immediately.

We don't limit ourselves to 5 letter words, and it's really fun when the word is very long. Sometimes it takes a long time to find the word!

A weird issue is finding a list of words that contains every valid French word. It's harder than I thought. I'm not talking about the target words here, but the valid ones that you can use to guess. I thought the 300,000 word list I had found would be good enough, but some pretty basic words such as "Parabolique" are missing. The correct solution would probably be to use a dictionary file instead, instead of a plain list, but I'm not sure there's a python library to parse dictionary files, say the ones from libreoffice.

Also a fun bug was that since I use two completely different lists for the target words and the valid words (the target words list is a list of pretty common French words, it contains ten times fewer words than the valid words list, and it comes from another Internet source), there were words in the target word list but not the valid word list. Due to the order of the checks I do, the target word was deemed incorrect! My friends were certain they had found the correct word, the clues only allowed for one word, but it was rejected again and again. Now I've made sure the target word list is strictly a subset of the bigger list.

you mean those that are taken away by governments at the blink of an eye?
That's Libertarian, not Republican, and it's not a news site, it's more of a magazine.

It's often a good read nonetheless, but it's not a news site.
The commenters on here are hilarious. They stopped watching the news on TV but are still reading the news online. Lol. That’s not quitting the news!
I've been doing some benchmarks recently and actually it is not that fast, compared to Jest. It seems to have solved the Jest unforgivable memory leaks, but overall has much greater memory consumption.

There are dating sites like you describe — eHarmony, BlackPeopleMeet, JDate, Grindr, etc — and even though they don’t require you to belong to that group, it turns out that most people voluntarily associate that way anyway! Even though there’s nothing mandating it, people just don’t seem to want to sign up for dating sites made for other groups.

We’ve also tried allowing these sorts of de jure discriminatory policies. The end result was businesses with signs that said things like “No Negroes” and “Jews Not Allowed”. The solution isn’t to tell people to move to a place where businesses can’t discriminate like that; it’s to make that discrimination illegal everywhere.
> With say Venmo, I open the app, press a few buttons, and my friend has the money in seconds

But they very much don't have the money yet. The transaction may have posted (if you happened to have connectivity) but it hasn't settled. It may be blocked in all kinds of ways before they actually get the money. Their account might be suspended. The payment processor may simply decide to never pay it (paypal being infamous for this).

With cash, the moment the object and the bills change hands, the funds transfer has irrecovably settled without any external dependency being possible.
As a form of testing I think there are two main reasons:

1. If we need to push this feature now, some say, reliability and future modifiability only get in the way. Under pressure people tend to focus on mere survival.

2. Developers don't know how to test properly. Namely, they don't know which tests to write and which not. That leads to excess of work, all while many errors (bugs) still find their way into the software. Naturaly, testing seems like a bad investment.
> When hinting branches gives you a bigger L1 cache footprint, it has a high cost.

It was the same size on PPC, and on x86 using recommended branch directions (but not prefixes).

> Compilers nowadays use code motion to implement branch hinting, which does not burn L1 cache. (Maybe code motion is what you mean by "hot/cold splitting"?)

Hot/cold splitting is not just sinking unlikely basic blocks, it's when you move them to the end of the program entirely.

That doesn't hint branches anymore, though; Intel hasn't recommended any particular branch layout since 2006.

> How does using exceptions defeat return address prediction? You are explicitly not returning, so any prediction would be wrong anyway.

Anything that never returns is a mispredict there; most things return. What it does instead (read the DWARF tables, find the catch block, indirect jump) is harder to predict too since it has a lot of dependent memory reads.
you think those cant be blocked?
Those countries already have > 90% vaccination rates, enough for the vaccines to be useful. They can get rid of their mandates because they statically are no longer necessary.
By "the market" I meant "the market for software engineering jobs."
All of these points seem to exist for the iOS App Store (apart from the Steam sales, but there are other advantages as well).

I think the takeaway is that on Windows there is a choice, and people (users and developers) actively choose Steam, whereas on iOS there just is not that choice. The market cannot exercise a preference.
Thats a bleak (if maybe correct) outlook on life!

I think the old maxim “success if where preparation meats opportunity” is very true. You cannot usually control for the “opportunity” side but without preparation you’ll definitely miss a lot of opportunities.

Sure you can’t predict war, but its hardly ever something that happens overnight - like the brewing conflict in Ukraine has been brewing for decades and you can always try to move somewhere more stable.

We can’t predict us or our spouse having accidents but we can strive to be healthy.

Most of the “things outside our control” we can attempt to mitigate or plan to avoid. And sure sometimes shit happens and you have to deal with it, but thats not a healthy outlook I think, you should plan for the future, what if nothing earth shattering happens?

And you can do things to mitigate the risk and the amounts of bad outcomes - thats also planing, we’re not just animals after all - running away from pain and towards pleasure, we can think about the future, and I in my estimate this article just encourages us to do so.
We already do, with companies like Planet Labs, etc the question is if the parties involved are allowed to publish it. I guarantee the sat imaging folks get the equivalent of National Security Letters whenever they come across anything “interesting”.
Growing up in NZ, If you championed free market capitalism and privatisation, you would definitely be considered right wing. That is the Economist's bread and butter.

That NZ's major left wing party was and is still a big proponent of these policies didn't change that.

Today, it could be argued that neoliberalism has moved the overton window, but many, many people still don't buy it.

Governments giving back power to people? What optimism!
Have you ever meet a guy/girl who is being able to convince you of doing something and feeling good at it?
Even if there is some "illegal"? You have contracts, you can read and decide, you have the possiblity to choose.. etc.
(Btw, contracts on provision base are not designed to have a constant income for a living. So everyone signing knew what might happen -> no contract. No money)

Just like Elon, Steve and Bill - that guy has qualities of self marketing, leadership and the proper portion of fun.
That's what counts ...

Like a lot of hackers did really bad an got employed due their knowledge by big companies and government - they also seemed unlikely to have a positive future..

Don't see the bad, but what good the bad can do

A pointer argument passed in a register is not what we mean when we say "overhead".

Without the lambda, you would instead need to pass the pointer manually, for identically the same cost. But then the compiler would not understand as well what you were doing, and would be unable to optimize it as well. Here, the lambda gives you negative overhead, vs. what you would have written.
Protections for rights like this don't exist to protect speech that is popular. They exist to protect speech that is UNPOPULAR, because that's the very speech that needs to be protected. Early civil rights movements were not popular, blocked roads, and sometimes ended in riots. The idea of "MLK led a march on the capital and everyone agreed because he was so peaceful :)" is propaganda. Creating inconvenience for people is the POINT of a protest - the freedom to "protest" as long as the police are OK and you stay in your protesting zone far away from where it would be too much trouble isn't a right to protest at all.

The fact that Canadians are largely against this has absolutely zero bearing on anything.
afaik its complicated to create bank account in country where you don't live no? I always had to provide proof of address or something, from that country, which is complicated if you are not millionaire with property here and there.

I really appreciate your comment!
I'm not sure I follow how some former friends booting you out of a Discord server relates to the media. Are you giving that as an example of people so immersed in a left-wing media culture that they can't handle differing opinions? That's certainly something I've seen more and more of on both ends of the political spectrum. I do think there are more moderates on the left than the right, but in both cases the extremes do seem to be hostile to nuance.
Just wanted to respond and second the comment on the Economist. I have been reading it for a year, and it has really given me a much broader and more balanced view of what is going on in the world (including in the US). I really like getting a perspective on US events, from outside the US.

It particularly nice because its a weekly with a subscription, so they don't have to be as click baitey with the titles and articles.

For reference, I also read Washington Post / New York Time (not great, but some baseline whats going on), The Atlantic, Jacobin, Wired (not very good anymore), and when I have time National Review.
But that's the other way around!
Euro. Realized that everyone was ripping me off. I went solo consultant at the right time in my career trajectory. Cut out all the middlemen. Pivoted from analytics to cyber security. I decided money was more important than anything else.
It depends on the purpose of company. SEO and ads is not the kind of work I like to do. But, if it's something freaky-visionary, I would accept that guy as founder and company Leader

Did you record those videos holding the camera in your hand? Because they have a shake to it that does not correspond to my heqd movement.

It would be great if you could expand the aggregator to non-US / non-Western sources - one place where we could compare how the same story is written from different sides, would be great. The Rashomon on news aggregators
I'm not a Christian. "Religious figures" is a very vague term that is nonsensical.
Until getting the ? operator in Rust, I always thought I really liked exceptions. After all, what was the alternative? `if err != nil { return nil, err }` everywhere just to propagate errors up and probably ultimately have the process panic when there's an error? "How obnoxious", I thought; the vast majority of the time I'd rather crash and be restarted than attempt to recover and risk severely corrupting state.

Turns out I strongly prefer explicit errors over exceptions, I just also strongly prefer error handling not consuming 75% of the lines on my screen.

And in the cases where I really do prefer a panic, there's always `.unwrap()`
Now that's impressive. All that reverse engineering.

How much isolation is there? Is each Win32 process an L4 process?
Thank you and everyone else for the answers, it's quite interesting.

FYI I'm in France and here cash can only be used for taxes under 300€ [1]

Maybe if you don't pay and they start suing then some other laws allows you to reimburse the debt with cash for any amount.

With that said, I know we have some laws to allow everyone (most people?) to have a free bank accounts ("right to an account" [2]), and some other laws that prevent even the state to seize what you have on a bank account for debt reimbursement if it's lower than a certain amount (565.34€ - it's called the "unseizable amount" [3]).

I don't know if it's possible to freeze bank account as they did in Canada. I'd guess they would have to have approval from a Judge.

"Thank you" is the default to me, so I typically say that. It has been working out well so far. The only funny thing that I keep doing is this: we have two phrases we use when we say "see you" on the phone, and in person, and I sometimes use the phrase in person that is intended to be used for ending a phone conversation! It is pretty hilarious. I wonder if they notice or what they think about it.
I'm offended. Try not assuming that you're the only person who matters.
