I use a lot of single-letter aliases, so I'd really prefer applications avoid using single-letter names, and reverse that specifically for user-local aliases.
I don’t want a heterogeneous “array”, I want a generic one. Your first example is the overhead I talked about, most high-level languages don’t do this at all. Pointer chasing is really pricey on this level.

Your second example misses the auto-growing part. Sure, I want an array, but if that becomes too small, I automatically want to realloc the underlying data to a larger array. And I want to use it for Foo, for int and for any sized objects, generally.

C++ can create the proper zero-overhead abstraction over it by generating code for each type I use it for, C to my knowledge can’t do so without copy-pasting code or doing things with runtime overhead, resulting in (often) much slower code.
No it's not it uses zones very heavily also zfs, dtrace and crossbow.

Postbank in Germany, and most other banks, require an app to sign in into their we services and approve money transfers and stuff like that. And Postbank requires, at the very least, microG (well, they did some time ago when I switched from Android to CalyxOS and tried to live without microG...). And yes, this sucks.
The realities in that industry is that this information is provider-client privilege if you still want to sell tools.

Files are freedom. Custody of the actual data represents a fundamental level of control that you don’t get with streaming. All the other responses give examples that are underpinned by this freedom.
You need to stick the tiny maneuvering thrusters to it in any case. Or maybe just some light sails will do the trick at those distances, depending on how good your aim with the primary means of propulsion was.

If humanity was doing this, we'd likely attach propulsion and accelerate the entire way anyways. Unless there's some new drive technology discovered by then or we hijack something natural/environs to do it for us.
Maybe they were. Anyway this starts to look like the Ukrainians did not overwhelm or disable the AA defenses. The more realistic explanation is that they had good intelligence and just knew the missiles have a good chance of landing (either due to incompetence or poor maintenance of the AA systems).
It's called a contradiction and it can only exist in the realms of logic.
Where are you getting this theory that there was an impact event that.killed off both the megafauna and the Clovis people's off?

Everything (credible) I'm able to find suggests/theorises that the Clovis differentiated into different groups of Native American populations, and that gradual climate change did most of the megafauna in.

And I'm kind of glad they do! I think video and audio recording is a powerful defensive tool against all kinds of abuse.

Hardware mic switches might be appropriate though, there are definitely environments when one might prefer that no audio recordings exist.
I've worked a fair bit with 3D data in a robotics context, mostly from the perception side but also a tiny bit on the motion side (and grad coursework). In practice you have to deal with pretty much all the representations, they all have their pros/cons and in some cases more than one works fine, so different libraries will use different representations and you have to convert back and forth all the time (a fun source of bugs!). In an academic context, I feel like the community has converged on matrix exponential representation. One reason, I think, is that it's fairly good for optimization with gradient-based approaches, which is useful on its own but also meshes well with deep learning tools that are increasingly becoming more common for 3D perception (and motion planning) tasks.
You certainly have a ... way with words.

Are you arguing for eugenics, transhumanism or both?

If I understand you correctly (and I'm not sure I do), you believe that prey animals only don't kill/expell the weak because doing so would attract predators to them and that if we all were genetically superior, we would be "able to" do that and that governments/religion undermines that by giving power to the (presumably inferior) majority and suppress a (presumably superior) underclass and that is stunting our development somehow (presumably only more recently given the massive scientific progress in the past century, so the societal decline would have to have become noticeable only in the recent decades or so)?

I'm trying to steelman your argument as best I can but I'm not even sure I read all of that correctly. If that is what you mean, you're using a lot of words to say "postmodern degeneracy is holding the human race back and we should kill the weak instead of comforting them".
That's a bunch of BS. Of course YC wants companies to raise additional funding, grow quickly and exit. That's how they make money. They just do it in a less obvious way - but if you watch their videos, read their blog posts etc. - they're all about hypergrowth. I mean, they even have a VC pitch deck template.
Spotify contains a watermark as metadata. I am not sure if it can be removed cleanly but either way: the produced OGG Vorbis is of inferior quality (as is Spotify) due to watermark. If you were to redistribute the data with watermark you should use an anonymous Premium account and computer and network connection (Whonix with Tor?) which cannot be traced back to you.
The question that we should ask in those cases is: how are their dividend payments going?
for what it’s worth, i’m yet to find an individual that was able to concretely identify a single anti-semitic action or statement both in the run up to, and after the november 2019 election.

edit: probably worth mentioning, i read the report of the external investigation (all ~300 pages of it) on antisemitism in the labour party. to call it thin on the ground is somewhat of an understatement.
https://standardnotes.com/ - I use it for the past few years and am quite happy with it. Text-only, but I view this as more of a feature…
It's based on librespot[1] which has been there for a while. Spotify used to official support "libspotify" to download .ogg files, but that was very early stuff that got deprecated in favor of platform specific APIs.

Ah yes, because export controls have stopped bad actors in the past.

If we can't stop Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons, thinking that we can stop sale of software is, mildly speaking, delusional.

I also fail to see the relevance to Nuremberg trials, because this is a simple matter of supply and demand. There definitely is demand.
I despise Macs but I think you are right.

ALL modern windows laptops are broken inherently due to Microsoft's forcing of Modern standby on manufacturers, this means that pretty much every manufacturer has removed S3 sleep from their laptops, this means that laptops cannot and will not deep sleep.

You can't quickly shut the lid on any of the new Dell or Lenovo laptop, the fans stay on cooking itself if you put it into a bag (not covered under warranty btw) or just draining the battery.

Microsoft Modern / Connected standby is so broken that many people are returning their laptops (just hit Reddit to see how widespread this is)

I have just moved my company away from Dell as a primary provider because our $8K XPS 9710's are basically useless as laptops.

We even tried to set "Hibernate on Lid close" and "Auto Power on Lid Open" - Hibernate fails about 1/3rd of the time basically causing a hard reset and loss of anything that was open.

Our company is now a Mac only company and unfortunately for Dell its not likely going to change in the future.
Same for YouTube but with Spotify you at least know what has been deleted. With YouTube such metadata is axed, too. Pathetic. A good reason for Oggify and YouTube-dl (or a fork).

There are so many people in this thread talking nonsense about the UK. The current Tory (right wing) Cabinet (the executive) includes Rishi Sunak as Chancellor, Priti Patel as Home Secretary, Savid Jaavid as Secretary of State for Health, Kwasi Kwartang as Secretary of State for Business, Alok Sharma as COP26 President, Nadim Zahawi as Secretary of State for Education, and Suella Braverman as Attorney General — all of Pakistani, Indian, or African ancestry.

It is quite likely the next PM will be of Pakistani or Indian ancestry (unless it’s a Labour PM; they have a poor record of promoting minorities to the top of Government) It's simply not true that the UK is xenophobic.

..also, songs/albums being removed from spotify. Go to settings -> show removed (unavailable?) tracks to see what you are missing. Sometimes you can search for the song and find it again in some other album, but this step is cumbersome and not always working.
They even should all be supporting efifb?
Because music has a tendency of suddenly disappearing on Spotify. Either labels decide Spotify isn't giving them enough in return, or artists are angry at Spotify for their stinginess or because they have a podcast which they disapprove of. Look at your playlists that are over a year old. If you are like me you'll see that 10% or 20% of the tracks are unavailable now. This is the downside to streaming -- nothing is permanent.

Yeah, about 10 years ago I was reading one of the earliest papers applying these ideas to computer vision and I was pretty confused, as I never had any exposition to Lie group/algebras in my engineering undergrad. So I tried to read mathematical texts on this subject and I was 100x more confused! Would have been useful to article like the GP's one back then.
Would that even work (assuming you mean the bird songs)?

I'd imagine bird songs are mostly equivalent to non-verbal singing (e.g. like "la la la") combined with very general information like "I'm here, healthy and single". I really doubt there's anything in bird songs that would constitute language in the sense of verbal expression of information (not to be confused with warning calls, which could as well be specific to certain predators e.g. different calls for "snake", "raptor", or "cat").
The data maybe. The dvd wont be playable in 50 years. Not necessarily disk degradation but hardware obsolescence. You will need to keep copying every 10-20 years to supported media.
> Israel plays the anti-semitism card much too loosely to be taken seriously

They use it in very specific circumstances that relate to criticizing the idea of Israel being a Jewish state. I can understand that people may innocently criticize this, due to missing the historical context of why Israel was created, but I agree that this form of criticism against Israel should be condemned.

P.S. There are very specific actions by the Israeli government that I do condemn. Notably, not stopping settlement expansion in the West Bank. However most comments against Israel are far more gangue and sensationalist.
Depends on what you want:

- Obsidian - all the notes are stored offline on your computer which you can sync using GDrive or Dropbox if you want (has app for Windows)

- Notion - it's an all-in-one note-taking and project management tool, free to use and runs directly in the browser (however, if you write a lot, you might not like it)

- Logseq - if you prefer to take notes in bulleted format, free to use and cross-platform
I used this to download podcasts off Spotify, since the official mobile client is pretty horrible.
What about that did you not understand? You have a corrupt government, where no law gets passed without input from corporations via their lobbyists. They have this access because they pay bribes for the privilege. That's banana republic levels of corruption.

I'm certainly not playing games or trying to be mean. Your replies seemed like they may be picking apart the OP's comment in a way that legitimately appeared to illustrate their point, hence my question. I get how my question about whether you're "trying" to illustrate the point can come off as accusing you of trolling though, apologies for that. I will assume the point was simply illustrated by accident.

Here is the "understandable English" you requested, which is how I interpreted the OP's message without picking apart their every word (I hope they will correct me if I'm wrong):

If you are attempting to express your thought and the way you word it does not align well enough with those who have more karma (and thereby things like flagging/vouching power), your experience of HN will be crippled.

I'm not sure I agree with this entirely, though I can definitely see their point.
Two reasons:

1. Meritocracy tends to produce superior results to systems based on nepotism — so people who want the best outcome for their tribe should preference merit.

2. Power is the ultimate meritocracy — you have it or you don’t. One of our best strategies to reduce the raw usage of power to settle disputes within society is create a social system that roughly follows meritocracy.

Humans are social animals, but we’re also animals that like prosperity and safety.
No. An "efficient-market-PoV" isn't equivalent to the statement "the market is always 100% efficient", and in fact the entire concept of speculative investing is in fact predicated on this. If you want to beat the market, you must find the place where the market is inefficient, and the only way you can do that is if you know something that everyone else does not know.

The "efficient-market-PoV" in this instance is simply - is an observation that 3M makes good products likely to constitute information that is not already factored into the stock price?
There are a number of issues with that logic.

Lithium isn't burnt up and released into the air. You build one battery with a few kg of lithium inside and that will drive you for 100000s of miles and might have use in other applications after that.

And even at the very end of life, the pack still has all the metal in it an can be recycled (and that will make sense once the scale is large enough).

Unlike Oil, lithium is highly distributed in the earth crust. Pretty much every place on earth has some form of lithium assets. Going to war for lithium would be even more dumb then going to war over oil (and its questionable that Golf wars were about that at all).

As for mining.

Lithium can be sourced many different ways. Traditional hard rock lithium mines are basically not all that different from nickel or copper mines. Not the cleanest thing in the world but its also not specially different or dangerous. Its also a way larger scale then copper and will never reach that scale.

Lithium however can also be sources in a way that is environmentally totally fine. If you have some brine resources and you use DLE, you end up taking a little of the salt out of the water and putting the water back. Nothing in the ecosystem depends on the salt content being just a little higher as far as we know.

Lithium can also be based on clay mining, in such a process its very likely to require a lot of tonnage mined, but its also likely that after you extract the lithium you just put the clay back where it came from. Places where this would be done would likely be deserts where nobody lives.

A current common way is to use brine and let the sun evaporate most of the water. This is environmentally sub-optimal as it actually can use water. But even here its not clear exactly how this is bad, its more maybe a risk that we don't fully understand.

So in summation, there is really nothing like 'Deepwater Horizon'. And even if their was, the result would simply be the ocean being a tiny bit more salty.
This is much more efficient than to download them every time you play them, which is the standard behaviour.
Well our chimp troupe has no dearth of mindlessly ambitious chimps, who end up in the positions of "power" and have no clue what to do after they land up there, given the complexities we face. So I just feel bad for them. It's like a trap that the naturally non ambitious can safely avoid.

So sure, seek out power and sit and appreciate all the routes to get it, but as the world gets more and more complex for our 6 inch chimp brains to handle, ppl in power are all pretty screwed whatever they do.
> since there’s no evidence that Mesolithic people were seafarers, who knows if there were people living there?

Whyyyyyy?

To hedge your bets with "no evidence" that these people managed to navigate shallow sea waters to a nearby island, which they had inhabited for thousands of years and knew like the back of their hand, seems… unnecessary? Disrespectful?

I mean, we already know Mesolithic "hunter gatherers" managed absolutely mind-boggling feats of both art and engineering. More is becoming known every year, and it consistently amazes us in the direction of "No way!"

Building a boat / canoe for island-hopping over well-mapped marshes and shallow seas is the least of it.

If speculate on "no evidence" we must, my bet goes 100% in the opposite direction: The gradual increase in sea levels prompted new inventions and spectacular constructions, now lost to time. As far as speculations go, it seems a safer bet than "couldn't paddle".
You could probably find thirty people who say they have seen leprechauns, which are also hominids.

Most people would not consider this to be serious evidence.
I'm sure I've heard of a similar story, of a default value or default IP address resolving to an otherwise quiet village in America. I remember hearing they get a lot of visitors, especially from people investigating a crime or something. I can't for the life of me work out what to google to find it though.

Maybe the hive mind can help?

YouTube uses Opus these days.

This is currently the best lossy codec available.
I was a Google play music user for the entire life of the service. Lots of playlists, play history, ratings, etc. All of that is gone now. I tried multiple different apps to convert my playlists and library to Apple Music and even the official conversion to YouTube music but they all messed up my library and filled up with songs with similar names that are completely different genres and artists. Some music didn’t carry over at all and I have a vague sense that my playlists are not complete but no idea what’s missing. And while I liked the user interface of Google play music, I hate the interface of YouTube music and I’m not a fan of the interface of Apple Music. I lost control over how I play my music. I regret jumping on the streaming music bandwagon a decade ago.
Do not really care about the Porsche but having the ear to tell lossy compression over bluetooth sounds superhuman to me.
What a weak argument — but let’s humor this idiocy. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you are saying that smear campaigns are built exclusively on “solid truth”?

So you think it is impossible for anyone to organize a smear campaign based on lies and/or misrepresentation?

Seems naive to me.

I wonder, are you just trying to add to the “labor is anti-Semitic” smears that Zionists push online? You know the smears they push because they have no answer to the criticism that zionist Israelis are (a) stealing other peoples lands through settlements (b) supporting racist Apartheid laws and (c) supporting a criminal state which regularly oppresses and violates the universally-acknowledged rights of the native population.

Every ARM Server SoC failed to make their chips available. They do deals with "hyperscalers" and then wonder why nobody wants their chips or the hyperscaler just designs their own chip and makes a dedicated SoC vendor that only sells to "hyperscalers" obsolete.
> It was also running windows…

Nothing wrong with this choice. The rest of your point still stands though.
You have once again not contracted anything that I said. What I said was that we have laws that force businesses to do certain things, and very few people would say that these businesses are having their rights infringed on.

> So what does the proposed law then look like?

Well, what we could do, is take existing laws and extend them to social media companies. Such as the existing common carrier laws, or anti-discrimination laws.

> if I give away free lemonade, I'm under no obligations to give it away to any specific persons.

If you had a lemonade store, in a mall, and you were giving away free lemonade, but you refused to give away lemonade to black people, then you absolutely would get in trouble with the law.

Like c'mon. How did you not think of that immediately? I even referenced this in a previous comment.

> Facebook is obligated to host your content next to the "Facebook" logo? Does the logo have to be there?

Well, just take every single question that you asked, and apply them to if a store wanted to treat black people differently, and then you have your answer.

So whatever hypothetical you have, imagine if it was about a company being forced to follow certain laws, that prevent them from discriminating against black people.

And the answer to these hypothetical, is that if a company attempted to do these things to black people, then it would likely be disallowed.

And very few people would say that there is some large infringement on these companies rights in that situation.
