It’s fantastic for personal projects. The ticket system is highly customisable, I usually set it up a bit like a todo list. It’s super easy to self host.

(Yes I obviously still use Git as well)
> In fact pretty much the only chance you have of avoiding git would be to build your own stuff on something else, hire/collaborate only with others who share the same view, and never interact with basically any other open source

I worked with a guy once who took a principled stand against git and (almost) exclusively interacted with the org's git repos through Hg-Git: https://hg-git.github.io/
> This means that software development is a failing discipline.

Nah. It means many projects don't have strict performance requirements. Mediocre performance, high impact on battery life, slower startup times are OK for these folks. In return they gain cross platform support, quicker development cycles, etc.. There's nothing wrong with making these tradeoffs.
The claimed weight savings are because the stator does not use any ferromagnetic materials, i.e. iron alloys, and because the coils are printed on a multilayer PCB instead of being wound on a heavier support.

The stator can be made e.g. of aluminum or plastic, so it should be much lighter than an iron stator.

In this motor, the only ferromagnetic parts are 2 discs that compose the rotor, which are made of iron alloy discs on which flat permanent magnets are attached. The 2 rotor discs are very thin in comparison with traditional rotors, so they should also be lighter.

So the claims about a much lower weight are perfectly plausible.

Whether this motor is good for other performance characteristics, e.g. efficiency (the arguments about lower ferromagnetic losses than in a conventional motor are plausible, but it is hard to make PCB windings with low losses at high currents), torque per size or power per size, is much less clear, because no relevant numbers are provided.

It's been awhile since I've seen this passage. I forgot how much of the bible is a diss track on the pagans.

> Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I find this bit in particular pretty humorous because it makes it sound like god's voicemail inbox is overflowing and he doesn't have time for your shit.
Oddly specific.
You think that’s how it works? One person can tell Jesus/God to ignore another’s prayers?
Have you seen fedi? Mastodon, Pleroma, PixelFed, ...

If you wanted to collect and publish the "top" 100 posts from a set of instances each day you could do that. I'm not sure how you would rank the posts but then I'm not sure how you would do that with a chan either.
Who should pay for the cost of development then? Apple has always been very clear, the store commission is for use of their IP. Any other store can undercut apple because they don’t have to pay any of the development costs for the platform.

There is no weaseling, it is very simple: the commission covers the licensing. The alternative is saying that apple must develop software, give it away for free, then let random stores make a profit selling software that they contributed nothing to.

It is exactly equivalent to the EU saying that a company should be free to use GPL software however they like, including selling at a profit, without providing the sources.
I can see that for workplace. For home use I’ve found a local gitlab server to be a neat trick though.
It seems to be a "just kidding... unless you want to" situation
Yeah, they are highly automated. Even a cursory search in Google shows that.

However, winding has been a cottage industry in many parts of the world. So, you still have a large ecosystem that uses tools, jigs and fixtures for winding works.
A hypervisor on LAN with decent tooling can be a neat. Definitely prefer that over on desktop local for near everything.

> Do you now see what I mean? It is not that your financial institutions would zero-day you, it is that you'd use the secure-but-slow browser (or browser mode) to access those sites. Secure, because you're dealing with financial data. Slow because that is what the parent poster stated as the price he'd be willing to pay for a secure browser.

I understood what you meant the first time. Again, the risk you're mitigating is one that simply doesn't exist. A slow but hardened engine protects against attacks that simply don't happen for the sites you're talking about.

The threat here is abuse of the JS engine. If you're on my bank website origin running slow JavaScript you can already steal all of my money. Hardening the JS engine for that site is pointless because any bad JS running on the page already has the literal most valuable thing I have: access to all of my money. Having a provably not-zero-day-able browser does nothing to mitigate an attack if there's bad code running on the page.
The angel from Revelation 8:3 can grab these and add them to his censor which will probably be on the blockchain by then.
This is conflating analytical descriptions of these potential mathematical objects for synthetic ones. Analytical characterizations ("how does this object arise") is what's sought in this kind of research, but a synthetic one ("here's a mini-language that formally describes this mathematical object, and the exactly-stated 'rules of the game' that ensure that you're using it correctly in a logical sense") is all that a high school student needs. High school students don't typically concern themselves with constructing, e.g. the real numbers as formal mathematical objects, but they need to know how to make correct statements in the language of real numbers.

Note that synthetic descriptions are not "informal" in any sense; they're just as watertight logically as analytical ones, they just arrive at the result in a different, and arguably complementary way.
What market abuse? And what do you split up? Apple is a hardware company, all the software they write is purely to make the hardware they sell attractive to consumers.

US drug scheduling is incredibly political and does not reflect how harmful a drug is.

As an example, cocaine is a schedule 2 drug but magic mushrooms, which has the lowest potential for harm (even lower than caffeine), is a schedule 1 drug.
I would rather have a team of all-FTEs than a mix. But the company wants more contractors because when cost-pressures arise, they can dump them without any thought. In fact this happened during COVID, hundreds of contractors at my firm were let go in one fell-swoop. Some FTEs were also cut, but it was like a 4-1 margin of contractors to FTEs, maybe more.

Presumably you'd use it on a machine that doesn't expose SSH. That said, I really like sshuttle for this use case when SSH is available.
I believe you're reading Bible2.0 - it's ripe for decentralisation. The new one has improvements, such as "Our father, who art in blockchain, hallowed be thine nonfungible token. Thy singularity come, thy Ðapp contract executed on earth as it is in blockchain." See? Much nicer.

Seriously though, you do have to wonder who it is they think they're praying to. Also, if the love of money is the root of all evil, is the love of blockchain the root of all foolishness?
Interesting. I don't have anything to add to this, but by a very strange coincidence I was working on exactly the same things as this article describes today - packing smaller fields into an integer with bitwise operations and using the primitive maps in fastutil.
That’s just gossip and has nothing to do with the theme of the thread
All of those analytics would already have the ability to run in the bank's origin and steal my money. What threat model are you operating under where malicious code running on your bank's website is trying to do something other than steal all of your money (which they're already able to do if they're executing on the bank's origin)?
Recipe for wasting time. Build something people hate but will pay for.
Especially considering that there's a surprisingly on-the-nose analog in The Handmaid's Tale. I can't find the actual passage, so I might be mangling the details, but from what I recall there were printing companies that pivoted to printing prayers... only for the paper to be immediately recycled and used for the next order. The point of paying for it was basically to signal that one was pious and/or wealthy enough to not care about the waste.
Regardless of company or team, suicide is far more stigmatized than cancer and carries with it associations, implications for people who hear it as a cause of death. There's a reason why liberal perspectives are pushing for "dies by suicide" as a replacement for "commits suicide".

Is this saying every Java object (struct?) has 16 bytes of storage overhead? Does that apply to arrays of objects too?
The point is that God is a Father - like a dad one has a great relationship with. No one with a good relationship with their dad spins a request wheel at him, or says the same thing 100 times in a row to him. If you ever did so, there's something wrong in your relationship with your dad -- same with God.

So in that respect, a Christian's relationship with God ought to me markedly different from how many other religions relate to the gods they worship.

Is there any way to compile a subset of Python itself to Wasm? (As opposed to compiling its interpreter to Wasm.) Same question for Javascript.
From just my personal experience, I've had a python code interfaced with C that I rewrote just for fun in pure julia. It was significantly slower then the C code and I couldn't as easily use OPENMP parallelization (although the symbolic derivatives are great). Obviously I know julia much less well, but so far in a few cases I tried, I could not convince myself that julia offers me enough advantages over my current approaches that rely on python & C/C++
Well, I was a truck driver during the last Iraq invasion hauling fuel for the 3rd ID.

Got like 9 hours of sleep the first week of the war. Every single truck in the company had “red line” issues but if would run we ran it, we had one where the whole electrical harness caught on fire that couldn’t be shut down and we ran that too. Had to “reallocate” parts from other units who were stupid enough to leave their equipment unguarded. And random firefights, shit blowing up, bases getting overrun around us all the time.

Forgot what an E-5 made in ‘03, a lot less than my civilian truck driver job at the time.
That depends on how much they've donated to their Megachurch pastor recently. If you get a monthly subscription of $29.99, your prayers go to the top of the queue. For gold tier $79.99 subscription, you get to submit a list of people whose prayers you want ignored.
Beautiful, bravo.

Also, looking at the way their payment and submission system works, it is quite literally "buy now, pray later"
Isn’t that exactly what some Christian sects do when they proclaim their way is the only way (i.e. “god, don’t listen to them listen to us!” ). Perhaps Islam does this to, but I’m no expert on Islam.

> No one with a good relationship with their dad spins a request wheel at him...

This comment makes me think you've never had a toddler, much less a teen.
Not gonna be a popular answer but I will say it nonetheless.

I used to be fairly shy, especially with the other sex, of course. But in my personal life with family and friends I was fairly normal, it was just shyness and a lack of confidence while surrounded by others.

I cured myself through ego, a bit of arrogance and blunt thoughts about women, discovering what I value and I what I don't in the process.

1. I spent several days looking at people (high school) and tried to look at them objectively (without paying much attention to how popular they were)

2. I realized most people were fairly mediocre (in the sense, they were not accomplishing much, not really smart), I had absolutely no reasons to be ashamed or unconfident in the face of people that were not faring any better than I did.

3. As for women, I just humanized them (sounds very obvious but well, I was young). After all, they also go to toilet, they have their own dreams shattered, grand ambitions, false hope, small moment of joy. And no matter how pretty they are, from time to time, when the night comes, they are alone in bed, questioning their existence, life choices, remembering their mistakes and crying out of sadness and lost ones.

After this moment, I started to see others and women as more or less similar to myself. I had a good idea of what I valued (intelligence, provocative thoughts), and I what I did not really value (popularity contest, amassing lots of things, the latest gadgets, new clothes, etc).

As soon as I established myself, I did not try to compete, stopped seeing women as magical creatures, did not care about being "popular" and started making friends with people, who shared common values.
That’s a great explanation. I wonder if anyone has looked at using materials other than air between the parts?
This is so great. 10 years ago this sort of topic came up frequently here, but there have been fewer as the crowd has grown.
Mercurial was. A good contender for a while. I still think immutable history has some advantages.
This talk follows a familiar pattern in historiography of computing: the "golden days" of Lisp machines, Smalltalk workstations, Plan 9/Oberon awesomeness, etc. In other words, glorified tales of better days, as told by grey-bearded veterans.

The speaker does not touch at all the details of *why* all of these were superseded by supposedly worse and more complex systems, "What went wrong?"

The systems that are being romanticized in the talk were a coder's delight, a peak of personal productivity, discoverability, malleability. They did have an integrated rich UI, where everything is a programmable action, everything is traceable and introspectable, wrapped by human-usable keyboard/mouse actions and UI presentation.

Still, they handled structuring, versioning and communicating *complex data* badly, something which was solved much better even by Unix/Windows-style filesystems and utilities. Plan 9 was an improvement over Unix in many aspects, but handling data complexity was not one of them.

My suspicion is that what is still very lacking today is well structured and introspectable data, system-wide schemas, rigorously defined ABIs, serialization and IPC mechanisms, transactional guarantees. Mo more raw streams/blobs of bytes everywhere, no more untyped pipes, no more poorly defined structs in C headers that implicitly define ever-changing ABIs, no more file systems without transactional guarantees, no more reimplementation of sorting and filtering in every Unix utility. I hope that the state of the art has advanced far enough to finally have a useful and comprehensive common language for data and interaction (Fuchsia's FIDL + capnproto + a kind of Kaitai Struct on steroids?), including network communication (kind of a global IPFS-like database of schemas?).

So no, moving back to the "good old days" of a magic old programming language is not the answer, in my opinion. There are other pressing issues that have never been solved well before and may be finally solved now.
Windows Ink? Do you mean Windows Ink Workspace or Windows Sketchpad?

It was Windows Sketchpad that I really loved. After Microsoft axed it, they released Whiteboard. It felt very... not-native but had the titlebar of a UWP app. It was terrible compared to Sketchpad but new functionality like being able to select elements and reposition and resize them was great. UWP's own restrictions meant I could set certain expectations with windowing and suspension. And then they made Whiteboard a pure Electron app which was just too choppy for drawing anything at all. The closest I found to replacements were Inkodo and Scrble.

Windows Ink was just one of Microsoft's phases, just like XR. They now refuse to add support for a partial eraser in WinUI.

>>Mass business closures would show up in GDP stats fairly quickly, i.e. be visible by now.

Not when the state engages in deficit spending to make up for the lost income. That deficit spending will impact productivity over a very long period of time.

>>Regardless, we need to compare to the appropriate counterfactual; you're still listing a bunch of bad things that happened, but implicitly comparing those to some world where the pandemic never happened - but it did happen, so that's not valid; you need to tease out how much of those downsides are due to "lockdowns" specifically. There's just not a lot of clearcut evidence showing lockdowns actually were worse than the alternative - self-imposed lockdowns, or pre-vaccination mass outbreaks.

Obviously lockdowns increased sheltering-at-home/social-distancing behavior. If they didn't, there would have been no need to institute them.

>>Some countries suffered more; others less; but I can't see a trend (maybe somebody can, but at least a few papers on the topic are clearly biased, which doesn't help).

Here's a good meta study on the costs and benefits of lockdowns:

https://www.sfu.ca/~allen/LockdownReport.pdf

The conclusion is that the net effect of lockdowns was enormously negative.

>>Furthermore, let's talk about that word "lockdown", which you describe as being rigidly present - well, 0% of the world's countries had rigid lockdowns for the duration of the pandemic.

The definition provided in the meta-study linked above is:

>>The term “lockdown” is used to generically refer to state actions that imposed
various forms of non-pharmaceutical interventions. That is, the term will be used to include mandatory state-enforced closing of non-essential business, education, recreation, and spiritual facilities; mask and social distancing orders; stay-in-place orders; and restrictions on private social gatherings.

Of course lockdowns exist on a spectrum, from most all-encompassing, to least.

>>And even that belies practical complexities - I sure get the impression that most places, for most of the duration of the pandemic did not actually police many covid-restriction-violations very harshly.

Of course, this is all very complex, but from what I've seen, the evidence suggests that the harm from non-pharmaceutical interventions that limited the right to free association and movement did massively more harm than good, even ignoring the harm to civil liberties.

>>It's perfectly plausible that a country had excellent policy, including harsh lockdowns, real lock-down related damages, and high death rates - all at once! Because the alternative might have been much worse; and _that's_ hard to measure; we can't do randomized controlled trials on entire countries.

Of course, and that is why being careful with which countries are being compared is important in trying to tease apart the effects of lockdown interventions specifically, as this analysis does:

Another vote for that being an excellent book!
Yeah, things get a bit weird when you make your God omniscient. Even though I know exactly what you need and whether or not you'll pray for it, you still need to pray for what you need, but you might or might not get it based on my whim (even though I know my answer before you ever identify your need), whether or not you pray.
For the purposes of what kind of comments are acceptable on HN, the HN guidelines supersede international law or your interpretation of it. Fulminating at an entire nation is pretty straightforwardly not ok.
I've thought about this specific question a lot and I think it comes down to humility. Being in a place of needing something (and acknowledging that fact) is the opposite of pride. Pride is something the Bible mentions many times as something detrimental: “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
