You're probably right, the issue might be that there's no standard way for an OS to hook into that.
Sure, no I get it. I suppose it’s worth clarifying that the biological addiction to the substance is actually a side effect of the original issue (you’re running from discomfort).

Which goes back to the original post, in that, you really can’t choose your addictions, only your circumstances (will smith might be a great example, don’t be in a public open marriage, you’re fixing to start picking up addictions that you’ll have no autonomy over).
>> Correct, but given that everything is not written in Rust and will not be anytime soon perhaps you can see the benefits of having this kind of CFI around.

Oh I can. It's just really frustrating that they are adding ISA features to make up for the poor security offered by the dominant language. That's not a critique of C either - I understand the history and the fact that it's taken decades to discover the flaws of it and define a better way. I just get frustrated seeing patch after patch after hardware patch to fix a broken design. This one almost seems frivolous given the NX bit, but I'm sure one could craft something to exploit it somehow.
and yet im the one being downvoted. this isnt funny
I don’t disagree but advocates of gender neutral language would say that’s more of a symptom of male dominance than gender neutrality.

Fascinatingly enough w.r.t driving nearly 80 percent of drivers were men in the 60s (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15389588.2012.7...).

You see similar things where she is used as the “gender neutral” pronoun for situations in which a woman was historically over represented
I run it with ssh -X to run the remote GUI. It's a bit sluggish, but it's a good way to quickly browse a DB to see whats there.
I accept that. Metaphysics is real in a useful way, but I think that metaphysics itself is an emergent behaviour. Emergent behaviours are behaviours of mater, and matter is real, therefore emergent behaviours are real.
I wouldn't use SQLite as a drop-in replacement either but, in case you haven't seen it, SQLite did add "strict mode" for better enforcement of type safety: https://sqlite.org/src/wiki?name=StrictMode
Universal Certificate Rotation
Yet Figma blows Illustrator and Sketch out of the water.

A lot it’s really just down to developer talent and how much they care about it. Examples exist in the world proving it’s possible. Illustrator is slow for the same reasons, no one working on it cares about what they’re building. But still it would need 10x speed improvements in multiple areas to beat Figma now.

Quite cool for an rPi.

I have a project where only BPM (beats per minute) is useful and it would be handy that only the hdmi socket is occupied.
Something similar has already been done a while back with all the predictable whining and bitching from the HN comment section one before.

I don’t remember if it was automated PRs lime this though, or if it was copy/paste PR templates with real people submitting them.
re ③, on...purpose?
Ask HN: How can I break into retro computers?
I grew up in South America where computing culture wasn't really a thing in the 90s and 2000s (at least in my neighborhood). After many years of programming and browsing through HN I've gotten interested in getting an older computer that I can "fully understand." I want to be able to take it apart and know how the CPU, memory and graphics works all the way up, something I don't think is possible in a modern computer. I also think they just look cool. I've seen some people mention the pdp11 and Vax machines. Any thoughts?
Ah, so Microsoft Office for Mac is the abomination. Disappointing but not surprising.

Fortunately it's not just 3rd party writing apps that behave correctly. Pages, Keynote, even Google Docs all have the correct behavior.
I'm sure this is possible with yabai, but I still haven't yet migrated from slate [1]. I have multiple custom layouts similar to what you've mentioned and can trigger them with hotkeys or when specific display combinations are detected.

Using cryptocurrency to avoid financial oppression is only really viable when it's obscure. If a small number of people are using a crypto black market, it isn't really worth the effort for a government to try and shut it down. The more popular it becomes, the bigger the target, and the more likely it will be shut down.

An obscure cryptocurrency black market is the only one that can really exist for any length of time. However, an obscure crypto ecosystem is also one that is difficult to actually use. It doesn't matter how much Bitcoin you've hidden from the government, if you can't actually spend it on anything.
I wouldn't argue that this is a tremendously impactful problem, but that's not what "top of HN" represents and doesn't mean that it's not worth our time. If you don't think language is an important topic, it won't really matter to you which side of this argument wins, and you can just kinda skip over it the same way I skip the hardware posts on the frontpage.

If you do think language is an important topic, I think you should do some reflection on why that is, and how similar motivations might be driving people to feel it's important to argue against this kind of bot. It's easy to accidentally fall into an attitude where whatever things I personally don't mind are implicitly "neutral", and so anyone who argues against them must be looking for things to get mad about.
Noone is enforcing it, it was enacted by the Trump administration in 2019, effective Jan 2021, but the Biden administration isn't enforcing it and hospitals are defying it.

I highly recommend going through all of the menu options. The workload one is really good. And reporting an issue... wow. Wow.
I think most people here would be fawning over the article were it a Toyota Previa or some other car that does not bring to mind "transportation that a day laborer would have driven circa <10-15yr after its model year>" which is what happens to a lot of successful vehicles.
The most frustrating thing about reviews on platforms like Amazon is that they are written barely after the product has been bought. Like, how is one supposed to evaluate a brand new product?

I think it’s time to start a new kind of product review: the exit review. Let's reflect upon how a product performed over its duration of service instead of when it first arrived and people haven’t spent much time with it to learn the quirks.

That's why I'm building exitreviews.com to change the way people review products. We can then build a collection about where things break and how to fix them. We can then learn how to identify cheap products, keep corporations accountable, and start caring about the amount of waste we produce.

Aside from adding a product when it breaks, I also let users add it when they buy it. They then receive a yearly reminder of the products they have added and if they want to update their status ("hey there, did anything break or deteriorate? Click here if the condition is unchanged")

What's next?

- Identifying the common failure modes of products

- Collect fixes for common product failures. Integrate iFixit repair guides

- Aggreagation on a brand/product level (important because companies discontinue products)

- Trend analysis to see if a product's/brand's quality has changed or gone down at some point
For anyone who is not familiar, you can buy phone numbers from Twilio for $1 a month. You can use these for all sorts of things like giving to websites for shipping notifications, opening Telegram accounts, etc.
Tests that run against a different relational database from production make me really nervous.

The Django ORM has provided the ability to test against SQLite and deploy against PostgreSQL with the same code base (and the same tests) for years - and while it works incredibly well, I still won't use that in any system that I build. How your database behaves is such a crucial component of your application!

These days I find spinning up a real PostgreSQL database to run the tests is so easy there's essentially no reason not to do it. I use GitHub Actions for my PostgreSQL testing insurance, and it ends up just being a few extra lines in the YAML file.

Not all have the option, but many move to LGBT friendly areas. I can walk around in my neighborhood and walk into any establishment and I know it won't be an issue. Like others have said, the ease of mind in not having to check is nice. It's a temporary reprieve from the otherwise default state of having to be mindful. For people who don't have that option, it's good to have tags, for example if you're traveling somewhere rural or an unfamiliar area.
It is not badly programmed. It is badly intentioned.
I made more than 800k last year and spent around 200k (also have wife+kids I support). So spending 400k does seem a bit crazy. But I guess a lot of people think spending 200k is crazy too

The answer to that question was demonstrated quite clearly in Canada just two months ago.
For food. They don’t have to fly around for calories. They forage at ground level(ground dwellers) as mentioned in the reply. I mentioned this because most birds have hollow bones and high metabolism. Most birds burn most of the food calories they collect because flying is very energy intensive.

This was about fowl and water fowl penii. That a male duck has a penis is rather well know farmers and chefs and scientists who study about their subjects.

The bird mentioned is a ground dwelling bird (possibly flightless) and every scientist is required to ask WHY. The answer to The Why of fowl and waterfowl having penii is simply because they are ground foragers or aquatic.

I used to cook at an offal restaurant and I have pulled enough pluck to know that human beings will eat anything when they are starving if poor.. or when rich enough to seek culinary adventures.
I was gonna say, I took a long road trip in a 1971 VW microbus and this was triggering some memories. Especially the description of finding the gears!

Good satire is only funny when recognized as satire, and even then only to those who support the actual position it advocates for (the opposite of the one it satirizes.) Otherwise, it trends to be offensive (for different reasons to those who are targeted vs. those who fail to recognize it.)
Speaking of security through obscurity, my car is a 96 Nissan and it's had a few attempts on it. It's easy enough to steal, but it's getting hard enough for me to find replacement parts that I'd be surprised if thieves have everything, so I take some bits of the car with me if it's sitting for a while.

I have a quick release wheel to deter the average opportunist from breaking my glass and ignition barrel, and with some wiring trickery and the bits I remove it's never going to start. It's aftermarket enough that stock parts won't help the thief, so unless they have a laptop, an aftermarket ECU, and a tuner handy, they probably won't get far.

Sucks to have to bother with all that, but alarms have never helped me, and you just can't fix woeful 90s physical security.

One attempt on my car was only foiled because when I park up at my girlfriends house, I remove some 90s era fuses you can't get anymore and take the box covers with me. A paperclip would work, but you've got to figure out that the specific fuses are missing first.

It's not about being perfect when it comes to car security, it's about being too much of a pain in the ass, so they'll give up and move on. Just like bicycle security.
My first car was a 68 Mustang, which was a gorgeous heap of junk. At one point, the clutch just completely gave up and wedged itself in the “engaged” position. To get the car moving, I had to kill the engine, put it in 1st gear, and turn the key to run the starter. This pulled the whole car into enough motion to get the engine going, then I could synchro shift all I wanted until it came time to stop again. For that cursed month, I got very good at finding routes that didn’t involve stop lights or long lines of slow moving traffic.
> hackers implement strong crypto opsec, it is impossible to catch them

Take out the word "crypto" and this statement is equally true. Law enforcement probably won't catch a criminal with good opsec whether they're using cash or Bitcoin or bags of cocaine.
Is this related to what feels safe when using FB? You avoid machine intelligence's attention by ignoring it?
I'm pretty sure this is an April Fool's joke :)
Wow, what a blast from the past. My first car was a 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis, and it developed this same solenoid issue. My grandpa taught me that same trick of shorting past the solenoid so that the car can start. My friends were always very curious why there was a hammer underneath the passenger's seat, at least until I told them to hand it to me and crank the engine when I gave the shout.

I think calling something "PostgreSQL wire compatible" is completely honest: you're not saying it's PostgreSQL compatible, the word "wire" is there for a very good reason.
I think maybe the "wild" thing isn't appropriate in an article that's actually about animals.

Hi, I'm a senior machine learning engineer at an applied AI company / AI consultancy for the last 2.5 years. Been working on projects across industries (healthcare, government, online retail, consumer business), and a big handful of different technologies to deliver impactful machine learning systems. I've also co-created and delivered internal training courses for more junior engineers and data scientists around API development and MLOps topics. Been doing hiring, and engineering management across our MLE team. Before this I was a physics post-doc, a fleet operations engineer of an IoT startup, helped found a hackerspace in Taiwan, run an Ignite speaker series, and dipped my feet into the entrepreneur world by taking on the StartupBus.
I’ve noticed a lot more apps recently rejecting VOIP numbers sadly, particularly for account verification/2fa.
PC never really felt as solid as an Amiga. It just feels like a single coherent system and PC feels like hacks upon hacks upon hacks and the seams show when it moves.
Low-intensity radiation is random enough, but it's slow: your device is necessarily twiddling thumbs between a detected event and the next, and entropy is mostly proportional to the number of events (for example, almost n bits from what of 2^n identical units is hit by the next particle).
That's a nice & concise way to describe it.
> It also misses the point of local tribe mentality deeply rooted in all of our brains.

Singer fully acknowledges the instinct you reference. But he points out there are other circumstances where we override our brute instincts based on social strictures and an intellectual understanding of the bigger picture.

For instance, most of us have a far stronger instinctive urge to violence than we actually practice. If someone steals my car I may be tempted to beat him grievously, but I don't even if it might feel powerfully right at the moment.

I don't think this strengthens the case for justification of the fed.

It represents the thought police in exactly the same way that anyone having any opinion represents that.
HN doesn’t do April Fools very well I see
Nobody knows, HN doesn't have an editor to ask. Much like the stock market nobody knows why stories get upvoted or not or stocks go up or down. The hivemind does what the hivemind does (with a caveat for astroturfing and brigading).
I think you're generalizing too much.

These are AI/ML researchers, and so you can probably talk about that area at Meta, but it doesn't apply to other departments necessarily.

But I think it's kind of obvious that AI/ML is a dicey proposition there. See for example[0] how they decided to stop doing facial recognition. I can easily imagine a lot of AI projects being canned or back-burnered like that now. What's ML used for at Meta? Feed recommendations, social graph inferences, face identification, etc? All those are under heavy scrutiny, and a lot of the work of doing it "right" is not even an ML question at all, but one of policy, regulation, and product. It's not like self-driving cars where people can generally agree that "getting from A to B without crashing" is a good thing, and where the obvious ML and engineering problems line up with product problems. But if you "increase engagement" with your feed recommendations, that could be good or bad in ways that ML can't really tell you. If you get better at identifying people in pictures, people are going to hate you and there will news articles about stalking. If you identify who a potential friend might be, that's a privacy consideration, etc, etc.

But what's going on there is pretty independent of the "metaverse" stuff, I think.

There is genetic exchange between different animals from across the world, which is a mechanism that has evolved presumably specifically because it strengthens global resolve. It's entirely non-obvious but genetic material propagates through many pathways, including but not limited to sexual reproduction.

Virii, for example, transfer genes between species. Bacteria have plasmids, rings of genes they can literally just give to other bacteria.
