I made the same mistake the first time as well, took forever to get it installed underground by hand. The second time I paid like 100 euros for the full-service package where they showed up with a cable-laying machine and it literally took the guy more time to unload the machine from the van than it took him to circle the property and lay the cable.

The bigger headache with boundary cables is finding and fixing any cuts that might happen when doing unrelated yardwork.

I'm not talking about scanned data. I'm talking about digitally born PDF, which have to be OCRed nevertheless because their text layer is unusable.

LaTex is one of the worst offenders when it comes to producing mangled text layers. Multi column text is often stored with both columns interleaving, or not at all. Verbatim is mangled, formulas are a hot mess. The text order between paragraphs is not preserved.

LaTex is an angstrom accurate type setting system and it's great for that, but it's abysimal at producing digital formats.

Could it produce better PDF documents? Sure. Does it do so, and do package authors care about any other layer except the printed visual one? No.

All those extra features you mention make your "still readable in 50 years" requirement go out the window pretty quickly. Long term archival is super tricky and considered an unsolved problem by libraries.

There's a reason ArXiv stores the LaTex as the canonical representation and not the PDF. The source code is simply a better archival format.

I've been getting these spam text messages for a 2-3 years now for Democrats. However, they come to my phone at the name of one of my relatives. I think they simply cross-referenced names and phone numbers to determine who to spam.

There are three items here, party affiliation, name of recipient, and target phone number. Only one of those apply to me, and one was wrong but related. This was data driven not from a signup of any sort.
Interesting fact about trains - a lot of the diesel and gas locomotives do not burn fossil fuels to propel themselves, meaning there's no mechanical connection between the engines and the wheels. Instead, they burn the fuel to generate electricity, which is then utilized to drive electric motors
Lopez-Alt recently released a book about wooks [1] where this is mentioned and in my experience it works well for getting the wook-taste and smell.

> The normal pattern of behavior on social media just as in real life is to "leave the room": if the room is Twitter and enough people leave it, it will cease to be a meaningful social media platform as more people move elsewhere. If you stubbornly sit in a room while ignoring other people that don't ignore you, sooner or later they'll punch you in the face regardless of who's right or wrong because people's right to not be ignored is more powerful than people's right to ignore others (it just is, people don't start wars attacking other people because they're not allowed to ignore something, but they really do so for being ignored too much).

There are so many double negatives in this pair of sentences that I can't work out what you mean or are advocating?

Zavalny is not "meaningless" person, being the chairman of the Duma's committee on energy. He seems to reflect Russia's policy here.

>My local hospital telephones with private numbers, which is the only reason I cannot completely block them and thus cannot use a whitelist.

Can anyone with more context explain to me why a rational person decided on this? It's Biblically frustrating for me because 9/10 withheld numbers are spammers or scammers and I don't want to pick up the phone to them but 1/10 it's my local doctor's surgery who I can't ignore. It's such an antisocial thing for doctors of all people to do, but it seems to be common enough people across the world have to deal with it.
Hmm, my trust in this article is eroded by the fact that they don't seem to know much about hardware. They didn't connect the grounds together (so of course they had junk data), and they appeared a bit surprised at having to change the baud rate.

I guess calling the company and giving them the serial was what solved the mystery in the end, but the hardware investigation left a lot to be desired (and was fruitless in the end).
The US grid is indeed a bit of a mess. Not exactly world leading but still better than some third world countries. IMHO that situation will actually accelerate changes in the US. Because it is so bad, people are taking control of the situation and there are lots of solutions to reduce your dependency on the fragile grid that are getting popular. Burning gas/oil is the stupidly expensive solution (especially recently). Saving on that cost is what any entrepreneur worthy of the name would gladly spend on. And the US is famously very entrepreneurial.

Solar, wind, and batteries are not that complicated. If you are handy, you can buy some cheap stuff on ebay and wire it together yourself or you can pay some people in your area to do it for you. Different set of skills than maintaining an ICE engine but not fundamentally a lot harder than that. There are plenty of people handy with that sort of stuff that are busy electrifying everything they can get their hands on. There's no basis for your paranoia here.
In other countries the caller pays for calls/texts. The way I understand it that isn't the way it works in the US (something about callers not knowing if they are calling landlines or mobile phones?)

For example, over here in Austria you can tell exactly what type of "line" a callee uses and so you know in advance how much you have to pay (even though in practice most people have unlimited calls/texts).

This means that when running a spam bot you will soon run into big issues because it simply doesn't pay off financially to send that many texts and calls.
How about helicopters? I definitely feel less willing to get on one after working near them.

> (Dried fungus?)

This didn't surprise me, after having taken one of those "outdoor survival" weekends. Some kinds of dried fungus can be used to transport fire from place to place, in the form of a slow-burning ember that can easily be reignited. Can also be used as tinder to get a new fire started.

According to Ötzi's Wikipedia page [0], there was a second fungus in the 'first known pocket', that was probably medicinal.

That's a great question. It was work experiences that transformed a challenge into a stressful slog. There are some things in my work history that elicit a PTSD-like response. For example, right now I'm thinking of a software product that I used to have to administer on about 60 servers, and I can feel myself tightening up and almost feeling nauseous. This isn't related to my original comment but answers your question I think. My work experience definitely informed my preference toward games. I like problem solving and expressing creativity. But doing so under pressure is the opposite of fun for me, which is why that game was no-go for this greying geek.
the last 10 years of internet history show however that you can create something that one group wants, which creates value and a product that another group will pay for, they are not necessarily one in the same
Also at this time processors for Windows comes with virtualization extensions - VT-x and AMD-V. So Microsoft focused on making their product better just for Windows.

Later they're expanding into Virtual Server and famous "Windows XP Mode" on Win7.

At the end everything was merged into Hyper-V.
> Yeah, we do. It sucks because we pay for the spam calls.

If the robocaller/spammer doesn't pay for it, I think that explains why these things are so rampant in the US. In Netherland, it's only the caller who pays, and robocalls and sms spam are extremely rare here (at least in my experience).

Although these days, many phone subscriptions come with unlimited calls and texts, so the caller/texter doesn't pay either. Somehow this doesn't seem to have lead to an increase in spam and robocalls.
Best of luck.

In my experience, Google isn't dying, it's still providing excellent results. Sure, one has to use an adblocker to tolerate the results page, but who doesn't nowadays?

More importantly, I have a feeling I understand how it works (which may or may not be true -- but to me it feels like I do) and so I can tailor each search and refine it until it points to what I need.

I also don't expect it to answer questions directly, only to point to sources of information. And honestly, how hard is it to restrict a search to wikipedia for raw information, or to stackoverflow for programming questions, etc.?

I am extremely wary of "AI" things because usually they are unpredictable -- except that they always guess wrong. I would never have thought I would regret bureaucrats and bank tellers, but AI chatbots did this. I hate those with the fire of a million suns.
This is the runtime API, that uses the JITs to generate the trampoline codes necessary to go from the Java calling convention to the C calling convention (upcall and downcall), a kind of like libffi for Java.

If you have a typed langages like Scala, Kotlin, Java, you can use jextract [1] which is a more high level API. jextract uses clang to parse C headers files and generates a jar file with all the C function seen as Java methods with all the glue generated for you (the downside is i believe that this jar is OS specific).

This API is more for dynamic languages like Clojure, Groovy, JRuby, where you want to do dynamic runtime calls and still get performance (as far as i understand, the JIT generates the adapter code once per call and you can reuse it).

I don't think it's a stupid answer. Maybe too extreme, but I believe it contains some elements of truth. Trust has been largely eroded by greed, corruption and incompetence, and if one counts only on trust is probably going to get the short end of the stick. As a matter of fact, when you "outsource" some activity, you need some non-zero amount of competence in the outsourced field to be able to evaluate the level of service and avoid terrible outcomes. This is sadly true even when you go to a gastroenterologist.

My "hack" around this is, have a friend that's a lawyer.

I lucked out in that we had been friends before. I have answered many development and programming questions and issues for them, and they have for me too.

To others commenting, I guess it's about having trust in others and using that. We have friends and family that are in CS, accounting, law, medicine, etc. What we don't have, we pay for. Find a good resource and pay them.

I guess this goes back to the grandparent post were they talk about access and costs of different lawyers.
> Will the Twitterverse split in two? Into n?

This happens periodically with things like "menshn", "gab", "truth social". The problem is that Twitter functions as a PVP MMO: the wolves want prey, but nobody wants to be prey, so when they get isolated off into a hardcore PVP server it stops being fun for them.

Parsing natural language is hard. Writing the rules takes ages and then they still aren't perfect. Statistical modeling has been actively researched to overcome this problem since the 1990s. The "obsene complexity" NY parser OP mentions uses Conditional Random Fields instead of conventional symbolic rules. It seems to tag the words in the text (with custom tags, not just "noun", "verb", etc.), after which picking out the ingredients is fairly straight-forward.

If you want to give it a go, grab a ratpack parser in the language of your choice, pick a dozen recipes, write rules to extract the ingredients, and then apply them to other recipes. I'm fairly sure you'll be surprised.

I don't work (and never have) in the public sector, but my understanding was that that's essentially true of any department; that GDS operated like a sort of slightly dictatorial contractor that also provides some common infrastructure and design system etc.?

My parents grew up, just as people started to get TV in their homes. Mostly, when very very young, they only had radio.

And as they matured, so did TV. Became larger, colour emerged, audio improved, and the wonder of viewing events live, in real time, from around the world was fascinating to them.

Soon, cable TV, and eventually 24 hour news appeared.

I watched the news morph from a 30 minute nightly summary, to a relentless repeat of the same news over, and over again. And talking heads, opinions relentlessly speed forth, by "experts" and "analysts", just droning on, hour after hour. All basically gossiping, rehashing the same info endlessly.

You, instead, have twitter. You, are in the same trap.

There is nothing of value there. No in depth news. No thoughtful information.

Just a relentless spew of opinion, talking heads...

Decades ago, magazines abounded. What does celebrity $x think of politics today? Or, what does the CEO of Ford, think about this and that?

This is the level of most of Twitter, the rest being people working (eg, fully biased) to amass follower. Once gained, via fraud, or being trendy (same thing really), they then sell their output to the highest bidder.

This can be political, or commercial.

Twitter makes my parents addiction to 24 news, alway on at home when I visited, seem trivial in comparison.

You have been tricked, had manipulated. There is nothing of value on twitter. Nothing.

If something is important, it will only be a mess of tangled garbage on twitter.

You know this. You already work against twitter's addictive, and useless properties, for you attempt to remake it into something sane, and useful.

But you cannot. It is designed to prevent this, designed to pull you in to the absurdities.

Get out. Follow what you secretly want.

Abandon twitter completely.
>How does this person square the inclusion of Yukio Mishima on their reading list

Perhaps based on his literary achievement. Maybe he doesn't use personal and political flaws as the basis for his inclusion in a reading list, but actual writing quality. Who would have thought?

Or perhaps he has this idea that the value of literature is to introduce us to different view points and aspects and ways of thinking (provided the writing is good), and nothing is off limits.

In other words, he doesn't have Disney criteria.
Thanks for owning up to this. We all know the internet and HN are full of chancers, but it's still very helpful to see what crafty, well-written BS actually looks like.

Having the caller pay nothing and having the callee pay for the call does sound like it invites abuse, and discourages callees from even picking up the phone.

In Netherland, it used to be that the caller pays. Technically they still do, but many subscriptions come with unlimited calls and texts these days.

Phone numbers that cost extra money tell you that before they connect you.
Apparently by a single vote and the legitimacy of the vote is in question due to some technicality I didn't care to reread until I understood. What I don't understand is why the project is NOT already secret voting? Do not most free democratic countries practice 'secret ballot' voting specifically because not doing so caused all kinds of problems like voter intimidation? I googled the first three that came to mind (france uk, usa) and they all seem to do so.

Anyone associated with the Debian project have any insight on why voting is not secret and/or any other large os projects doing the same that could chime in?
Unless you have a door specifically designed to withstand burglary a crowbar will always be an easier door hack than figuring out a backdoor to your automation.

There is no perfect security, only risk profiles. I would argue the risk profile of door lock automation is low enough not to be worthy of concern in most cases.
Type 1 diabetes is an auto immune disease that destroys your pancreas.

Type 2 diabetes is an acquired and reversible disease that follows insulin resistance and it is caused by excessive amounts of glucose in your blood, which forces your pancreas to release an ever increasing amount of insulin which then is absorbed by fat cells until they hit insulin resistance, then it fills up muscle cells including your heart until they hit insulin resistance until the only place left for the glucose is inside your organs.

The easiest way to reverse diabetes or avoid heart surgery is to get a live glucose monitor and then do a ketogenic diet. It's non invasive and if done correctly is more effective than any surgery can ever hope to be.
> The idea of my OS being run like this? Absurd.

Isn't Android run like this? Is the community participation in Fuchsia different from that of Android i.e. Build inside Google and publish the code to AOSP?

Regardless of how 'open-source' android is, I'm grateful for its 'openness'. Cannot imagine mobile compute held solely by walled-gardens and carriers.

Anyways Brian Swetland is the person to thank for those who appreciate the openness of android[1].

> “Peter mentioned something about exclusivity for our first device, which Brian overheard. By the time we got back to our hotel room, Swetland had threatened to resign because ‘I didn’t join Android to become another Danger.’ I was concerned because Brian was so critical to our success, but when I saw him the next day everything was fine.”

> He was strongly in favor of Android’s vision for an open and independent platform. He threatened to resign several times during his time on the Android team over decisions that would have resulted in a closed platform.

Read under `Motivation`, I think it answers your question. Of course you can still use JNI.
The most surprising thing to me was that it's actually fun to use this search! I mean, I spent 10 minutes just throwing different kinds of questions at it, and I didn't even care if the answer was correct – it was just fun and curious to see what it answers.

My two favorite answers:

1. "what's the meaning of life?" — 42 (dah! what else could you expect)

2. "why is ukraine in africa?" — Ukraine is in Africa because it is a part of the African continent.

> But to then say they should have refrained from publishing the article is exaggerated.

The article as-written provides almost no useful information apart from an anecdote about one person finding a GPS tracking device in their car and contacting the EFF.

> Given how many people have been surprised to find this specific GPS tracker in their cars (as mentioned above) it’s possible that many car dealerships are installing these devices without proper customer notification.

One person is mentioned in the article. If the EFF knows how widespread the installation of this tracking device is, why isn't this discussed? How many car dealerships did the EFF contact to find out if they install such devices?

All the useful questions at the bottom of the article are unanswered:

> Is the sky-link GPS device still sending location data back to a Sky Link server? If so, could it be accessed by an employee, or someone who activates the device in the future?

Writing an article about a single individual who was not targeted: FUD

Writing an article about how many cars these devices are installed in, what data they transmit, who the provider(s) sell your location data to: useful for privacy and policy discussions
People seem to think Linux has a technical problem with just distributing binaries, but it really doesn't - it's a cultural problem. Even many pieces of free software don't bother to provide archives you can just unpack and run. I heave a deep sigh when I find an interesting program I want to try but my options are "run Ubuntu <version> and install the .deb" or "build from source". If Zoom, JetBrains, Arduino, Blender, Firefox, Julia, VSCode, SALOME, and X-Plane 11 can just give me a binary, why can't you?

Yet we still see discussions like this, where people think packaging is some major roadblock on Linux: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30777172
