I use a niche language because it is by far the best language in which you can make the things I want to make as a hobby: tools to augment Emacs. I think that's how you are supposed to pick a language, right? Think of your goal and choose the most appropriate language to achieve that goal?

Please quote back the part of my post where I say they can't. Please.
Interesting I would have guessed the opposite. Why?
Even weirder thought is that how many of these are even actually needed? The amount of new fundamentally market changing products form these companies seem to be limited...

Or is it just keeping them away from new competitors. Or just general games of corporate fiefdom and team sizes?
OS X is not Darwin. All the interesting parts are on the layers built on top of it.

What was remarkable was being able to run a graphic accelerated version of AppKit built for touch screens (UIKit) and have RAM to spare to run a non trivial app, like, you know, a full blown web browser, all in 128MB.

So yeah, Darwin + window server + springboard + Safari + webpage > 128MB is pretty impressive indeed.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve been using PHP and writing web services for a long time and I can be productive quickly. I still use the language professionally too, which keeps my working knowledge of it oiled.

Go is a pleasure to work with, however, so I’m exercising that more and more.

I loved VB for a long time but finally moved away from it after the VB 6.0 years, primarily because my daily driver switched to Linux and I stopped writing software for windows. I now use a Mac but I tinker with Linux. My family has so much trouble with Windows I’m very unlikely to ever try it again and it’s been 23 years anyway.
I might say that Microsoft didn’t really rearchitect the mobile OS until Windows Phone 8 in November 2012, which was based on Windows NT. Windows 7 was, well a new skin on Windows CE is reductive, but CE was the kernel.
I wrote a shell script some time back that stripped ansi color from piped output. Haven't needed it since, but can't be hard to make again. So probably we don't need this kind of quasi-standard.

(what's up with all the non-IETF "standards" all over HN and GitHub? there is an open standards process for technology, people. is the problem that us old folks never taught the youngsters how to make them?)
in general, a software dev anywhere might not realize the flaw. but an systems engineer or other aircraft and flight controls engineer would notice it. and they should have, when the requirements were written. and again when each requirement was verified prior to flight.
We’ve ruined everything one quarterly bonus after another…
Yeah they are used a lot interchangeably, but the top commenter is probably technically correct.

In this case I'm just using tmpfs as outlined in your link. Keep in mind tmpfs can actually swap when out of space, if that matters to you.
You can also use col -bx
I did NOT hear about that. But, in the grand scheme or things, having a $25k ring confiscated is on par with customs confiscating laptops as you cross the border. And no one is upset about that.
Yes, the software was not great (though I still found it a very useful mobile terminal). But the software was a legacy product.

The hardware was not -- it was older and it had less RAM and flash, but it wasn't worlds apart. (Indeed as you say they had higher-density displays on some hardware).

And they took those S60 products to market 14, 15 months earlier, with hardware designed much earlier.

The point, again, is learning from the competition, and then execution.

(Execution is why, after all, those Nokia products had to shoehorn Blackberry enterprise support into much more modern hardware; at that point the market cared about Blackberry because Blackberry knew how to execute. The world ran on Blackberry)

We should expect those who come later to do so with better hardware and software. I think the iPhone was impressive but I still think it is worth putting in the effort to see the context and not pretend that it came out of the blue, fully formed and perfect.
> If you read the chain, the clear political statement was by eadmund.

Ummm, I made no clear political statement, just a linguistic one. I am instinctively conservative, and deeply suspicious of folks who promote change for change's sake. Our language is a lovely, beautiful one and we have spent the last several decades abusing it.
Homes should include a central dehumidifier. I believe they’re more efficient than running the AC since there’s no net temperature change?
As much as Russia have an overwhelming tactical advantage they also have the most to lose. Putin has staked everything on this being a war that he will win and win with ease. A loss is completely unacceptable and even a protracted siege or insurrection would be enormously costly.
As I understand it the android team had to complete redesign the user facing aspect of the platform after the iPhone was announced
This is very likely insecure. A malicious web site could replay your Auth flow to another website where you have an account that uses the same keypair.
It's worse than that. Lots of executive positions are bullshit jobs. They may or may not produce good results, and there may or may not be a way to determine that promptly. The important thing is to be able to fill up some slides in a deck with visionary plans. The engineers should have gotten them to discussing bike sheds.
He's 69. In ten years he could be backstabbed or forced to leave. There is a tradition of that sort of things in the SSSR. If he wants to be reminded as a father of the country by doing something more substantial than rebuilding the might of Russia (which he did) this is the time to do it.
The more you do something the easier it is to do. There is nothing wrong with it no longer feeling like an alert.

That is almost the definition of alert fatigue. The problem is tools presenting minor issues as major ones because they might be a major issue in certain circumstances. Then supposedly major alerts start to feel normal, and when there is an actually major alert nobody has a sense of urgency about it.

I've never used GitHubs version of this, but I've used others and as someone who only develops internal tools I wish there was an setting for "I mostly trust my authenticated users." Which I think would downgrade "possible DOS from a specially crafted regex from an authenticated user."
I think the difference is that the gitlab instance will probably require care and feeding beyond letting the OS "apt update; apt upgrade" once a night.

> After all, Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana, Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home are all very impressive

I mean - no? Google can’t track more than one timer at a time (and can’t subtract time from it either) and recognizes me maybe 80% of the time and my wife maybe 15%. Alexa let’s strangers talk to your kids and replies in memes and farts, Siri genuinely barely understands English, and I haven’t used Microsoft’s video game character but at least the other three are so far from “impressive” it’s hard to take the article seriously with an intro like that.

Is anyone impressed by the state of voice recognition or the utility of voice assistance?
Wow. An identical submission. Obviously I'm not the only one with the same idea.

Hopefully this idea will grow. It may seem impossible now, but the UN/NATO should seriously consider options.
If you’re so into Ukraine making up it’s own mind, what do you think of Western leaders toppling its democratically elected government in 2014? This is commonly known history. Hypocrisy like this has defined the West’s efforts towards global domination for over half a century, and it’s a primary reason Putin would have understandably needed every bit of reassurance that could have been provided. But Biden refused. The arrogance knows no bounds.
I wonder where Russian undersea cable cutting subs are now. Retaliating by severing US from the UK seems real and will cost more than turning off natural gas. Norway reported a cut earlier this year, though who is responsible is still unclear.
Yeah, for sure it’s easy to talk thousands of miles away. I really want them to succeed and I’m looking for ways I can help. At the very least I’m trying to be a public voice in support of military aid, and cheering them on in general.
Nokia Nxx series like the Nokia N770 and Nokia N800, and then the N810 and N900. Maemo[1] was full-fledged Linux, and you could run full-blown Linux applications. GTK apps were natively supported. I played a lot of FreeCiv on them and used SSH's X forwarding on them. Maemo became Meego, which became SailfishOS.

Doesn't it just mean they'll pay extra (for the cost of evasion)? Apartheid South Africa still got oil when it was sanctioned, they just had to pay Marc Rich a 10% premium. Of course that's not great, especially when your currency and everything is collapsing, but still.
I was hoping to also find mentions of how to effectively reduce these.

When reading code, I break things down differently.

1. Domain knowledge
2. Programming knowledge (e.g. recursion)
3. What is being done
4. How is it being done
5. Where/when is it being done

Wherever possible I try to stay with strong opinions and alignment on the first three. The last two should try to be as simple and clear as possible. Reading code in this day and age should not so much be about 'playing computer' in your head, but rather using well-known/tested patterns that allow for factoring/composition and accurate reasoning without requiring deep context.

Well luckily that your country isn't the only one calling the shots then eh? Solidarity and unity is kind of the whole point of the EU after all.

If your country is not a part of the EU of course then this doesn't apply, but in that case I assume one could claim that you should just have better prepared to be slapped around by larger powers as they please.
I would agree that makes sense from Puntin's world view. But not for anyone else's including a lot of Russians.

I watched the the start of the video, apparently a country simply being allied with the west and the US is an "existential threat" to Russia.

Ukraine or Georgia are not going to invade Russia after joining NATO, they simply don't want be a part of the next Russian empire dreamt up by a tyrannical regime.

This has now come to pass, a Russian puppet government lost power in Ukraine, Putin saw his power slipping away and invaded.

And NATO is supposed to be the aggressor and the cause of this?

What's in it for China? Unlike North Korea, Russia isn't a buffer state between US military installations and the Chinese border. And it would cost far more to prop up Russia than it does to prop up North Korea.
About 20-15 years ago we found offshoring teams had terrible communication and software skills.

I disagree entirely. Maemo as designed, built and optimized for low-powered mobile devices compared to desktops.

Indeed. Speaking about hot and sunny cities like mine, besides strategic placement of windows I would also mention barriers to direct sunlight over the walls. Simple barriers can improve inner temperatures sensibily and costs no energy, but most projects don't take that in consideration.

Jesus, here there are even buildings importing those "glass wall" concepts, which makes total sense in climates like European's and north American's, but makes absolutely no sense in sunny cities -- you just end up aggravating the greenhouse effect and having to rely more heavily on AC. Everything because of façade aesthetics.
iOS allows apps to read browser history.(maybe?) Entire internet doesn’t notice
IOS allows apps to read your browsing history outside the app.

There seems to be a consensus that this is impossible. There’s nothing about this on the entire internet. I could not believe it when I saw it, but it’s plain as day. When I asked Apple support for clarification, even the rep was under the impression that Apple would never allow this, until I sent a screenshot. I still cannot believe I’m the one pointing this out. WTF?

https://apps.apple.com/story/id1539235847

“Browsing history Information about the content you have viewed that is not part of the app, such as websites“

This is in hundreds of iOS apps, such as PayPal. Welcome to the future, I guess.

Edit: Apple Support was unable to get to the bottom of this so I appreciate any info

Edit: Apologies for the dramatic title, I should have made this an ask.

Either way, Apple really should have thought this through more when writing the description.
I have been wondering all day about how any of the military aid will reach Kiev, or how the soldiers are supplied with their rations.

I'm just genuinely curious about wartime logistics.
Freedom? Or sovereignty? Because I bet Americans would die for sovereignty. But we take liberty so much for granted that we continually debate trading it to boost all manner of hypothetical social utilitarian metrics.
IME most programs still use the 8 traditional ANSI colors, which are exactly that (labels mapped to actual colors through config).
It's good to support free speech, but this is not a case where free speech is being limited.

What we have here is bots utilizing platforms with a specific aim. In this case, it's a specific comment plugin (Disqus) on specific government-related site (RT.com) that's being used to facilitate a firehose of propaganda.

As Garry Kasparov says: "The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth."
An issue with keeping yourself warm with clothing is some hotspots get too warm, and others too cold. Like the armpits usually get too warm, but your exposed hands too cold. If your slippers have sheep's wool in them, like ugg slippers, then they often sweat a lot or feel a little wet while simultaneously feeling cold at times, or warm enough. Most sweaters are also not designed to keep your armpits a little bit cooler so you stay evenly warm along your body.

If you want to wear gloves, then finger and hand mobility is effected, and usually with hands, it's the fingers that are cold anyway, making fingerless gloves not feel that useful.

While if the room is all one consistent warm enough temperature, you don't get these cold & hot spot effects.
I think state of the art is to add a json output mode, then berate people that complain that neither option is ergonomic if you actually need to read production logs.
We have very very very good insulation now. We don't really need to stop heating spaces, we need to prevent heat loss. In addition we could use more modern heating systems which actually heat rooms only when needed.

This is bold. (Pun intended).

Old proverb: "If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is."

Nemtzov said in 2014, literally, "Putin is deranged and you should know that".
This is why he was killed in 2015, mostly. Because even then that was the truth.

Proxy wars are horrendous and completely inhumane. But yes, they can be “effective.” However, they are bad for all working people of both nations. Americans who drive to work will feel the pain.
Life has had half a billion years to figure out that if you produce offspring at the optimal (min-maxed, really) survival time, you get more offspring.

It's not just that spores work better in certain weather conditions, it's also that there are often more spores in those conditions as well. Mushrooms coming up after a rain, gambling that there will be another one in a couple days, for instance.

Good point but there is so much overlap.

Been using lqx kernels for many years now.

On arch, I definitely get better gaming performance than the stock kernel. The liquorix repo's arch kernel doesn't play well with libvirt - that's about my only gripe.

Xanmod kernel seems to have all the gaming improvements and still plays nice with libvirt though.
(in other words it's a bit of an architectural dead end, like explicit branch delay slots if you want to grow a design past the simple risc stage)
Unreasonable? No.

But you’re going to pay either way. And you still benefit. That’s ok. If you can afford to have a fully self-sufficient power system you can probably afford the incidental costs associated with any other imposed utilities fees.

There is a reason why people pay taxes for things they think they don’t need/use. Tax dollars (not enough) go to schools regardless of if you have children who use the schools or not. That’s okay too. While the connection may not be 100% A to B on your returned value for the school you still exist in the society which stands to benefit from them and it still impacts you.

You are also still supporting your local economy (potentially to a lesser degree depending on where you buy the groceries) if you make food at home. It’s not an all-or-nothing proposition here.
If you're thinking, "but I don't cook soup that much", remember the chemical equation for burning methane with oxygen.
> They haven’t been “holding out” from Russia.

They absolutely have. That's why they declared independence in 1991.

> Working Ukranians have been fed up with the EU’s mingling in their governmental affairs and favorable towards Russia.

This is simply 100% nonsense. "Working Ukranians" have been employed en masse by Western European companies, with more joining every year. There is a small minority in a relatively small region of Ukraine that was favorable towards Russia, but even those have now decided that Russia is not their friend. Note that these are what you would call 'Ethnic Russians' and even for many of them this has gone way too far. People want peace and stability, not war.

> Of course that will no longer be the case now.

At least you realize that.

> Realize the West stoked this war even if Putin started it.

On the contrary, Putin would have had this war, because his country is failing and he wants to look successful and strong, rather than preside over the bankruptcy of his country. Ironically, that's exactly where it is headed now, the number of friends remaining is pretty close to zero, we'll count Lukashenko for 0.5 because he relies on Putin to stay alive.

What the West did was too little, arming Ukraine further and stationing troops there earlier would have precluded this war.
It's great to know someone else (coarsely) feels this way.
Once people introduce analogies, I give up as they
a) become a discussion about the analogy, or
b) result in further analogies, and further discussions not about the original argument.

'Bad and distracting'.
Yes.
Intel had the top performing ARM platform with StrongARM/Xscale. They threw it away. They had their legacy embedded platforms that were popular. They threw it away. Edison could have been a compelling gateway drug for embedded Atom products. They crippled it from the start and threw it away. The root cause is MBAs making bad decisions for short term gains.

You can say that, but you look at the chart of GDP per capita of Russia vs. the US since 2000: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=2020... Let's just say this does not paint a picture of Russia ascendant vs. the West.

In any event, this is a case of moving the goalposts. The claim that the US is predicted to be the only Western state in the top 10 economies is still untrue. Here's another list, with Germany, France, and the UK all projected to be in the top 10 in 2050: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-global-economic-fore... Tellingly, this one sees Russia drop out of the top 10 entirely.

The story probably happened, but the coma portion is embellished. It notes that she was able to participate in rehab and eat food, so she wasn’t unconscious in the traditional sense.

It sounds like there was spontaneous return of function, which happens in various degrees following stroke anyway. Residual function plateaus about 1-2 years after on average, but this case would be an outlier.

I am more intrigued which med the physician prescribed, and whether there’s current research to support its use in post-stroke care as a neuroprotectant.
I am sympathetic to your goals, but isn't the internet a means of getting around Russia's state-controlled media and communicating to Russians what Putin is doing?
Rather than that, have the executive pay be delayed so that they have incentive to ensure the company is doing well in ten years. Essentially, similar to a vesting schedule.
