> it's beyond me why anyone would need to prove they can cope with such pressure without breaking down.

Where's the pressure? You have a piece of code, all you need to do is read it, understand it, make a (possibly) trivial modification. That's exactly what you would be doing (or have been doing) every day. You don't have to explain complex algorithms on a whiteboard. There are no high stakes. You can leave whenever you want.

Last time I had to do something like this I was allowed privacy, internet, headphones.
>I think this type of educational content for betterment is quite a desirable trait of HN

I think one complaint can assume the opposite: that it's trite, snake-oil, or vacuous content, usually chased compulsively one-after-another, by people far from actually improving (or, in lieu of improving).
Given that we don’t consider minors to be “individuals” for legal purposes until they become adults, waiting until they’re adults to assign responsibility seems like a reasonable first blush for a standard.

(More flippantly: we all know kids are stupid, even the smart ones. We also all understand, intuitively, that strong support systems are some of the best predictors for social and economic success in children. It doesn’t make any sense to sentence future adults to lives of indigence and poverty because someone else hasn’t given them the support they require.)
"Autist" has this sort of duality to it best demonstrated by wallstreetbets culture, where an "Autist" is somebody who will either lose all their money or get wealthy beyond compare. An object of mockery yet an object of admiration, an Elon Musk figure.

Simply stigmatizing whatever words people decide to use in a mean way isn't a real solution to any problem. I resist sacrificing the word "Autist" to the god of the euphemism treadmill because it's the noun form of "Autistic" and is two syllables. If we stigmatize that word we won't address the actual stigma but we will be forced to resort to more pained and awkward language.
I think this is way more significant than many people think. Twitter scale information distribution is a hard problem, and tying the platform to a blockchain makes the engineering side of this impossible. You'd want your blockchain to run independently from the social media platform.

You could add the crypto layer to Mastodon, and by the time scale becomes an issue, you haven't irretrievably crippled yourself and you build it from there. Plus federation and so on.

I would think scraping Twitter would come with legal hassle, so a lawsuit could be worse than any technicalities.
First hit for me searching `emacs virgin stallman` on duckduckgo and bing separately. That's three major search engines. (Are you in a bubble?)

>I have never heard those sorts of words pass his lips.

You must not be listening very hard. Making comments like these is even part of his wikipedia page as he had to set down from the FSF and MIT for a while for similar comments
That's a cool source, do you happen to know of any biblical annotation sources that follow the same format (i.e. athiest, but confidently so, and so don't need to go further than the historical record at the time, and with the historical chops to give context).
> You’re not invading any of your child’s privacy because Geofence is different from direct or physical monitoring of your kid’s whereabouts.

What a super-lie. Instead of studying your kid of how not to be spied by own phone, like detect when GPS is working, the user of 1984-on-minimals is considered to lie to his kid like nothing is happening. This is literally a malusing of Computer Science. This is not an attitude I share.

If some child asks me to clean his smartphone from such an unpleasant program, I will do everything in my power to remove such a program, it’s even better to fool this program (maybe with GPS spoofing), like nothing happened either.

edit so sorry the post gets flagged, IMO it is more decent to expose the topic to main page.
What makes some dark design patterns possible is linear web workflows
based on several pages of chained forms. At each step the user becomes
more invested in the process. Egregious steps appear last when the
user has a sunk cost. For some products it may take hours to work
through the forms, saving and returning after finding or creating some
data.

If users were able to fast forward and see the whole workflow, and
what will be asked for on later pages, many would not even start.

Without a very good technical reason there should be a first page
overview or summary of all information the process will require. Any
contractual data should legally be offered up front.

Of note, an audio-book publisher called Findaway really pissed me off.
It took me many hours to fill in their workflow, and only on the last
page was I able to read the actual contract. At the end, after a blank
page IIRC, was a lonely clause assigning rights to Apple to use my
voice recordings for training their machine learning. I emailed the
company and told then this was unacceptable. They sheepishly suggested
I could just sign the contract and then "opt out" of distributing with
Apple. Needless to say that was the end of that conversation and my
interest in Findaway. I had to take the hit of losing several hours of
my time.
To add, I find the parts which mention the people who were killed or otherwise affected by these strikes deeply moving despite being short and concise.

In other words, the painted picture is much broader and deeper than the man itself seemingly put into the focus. In reality, he's just used as an anchor point to tie the big picture, and might be also used as a so-called decoy (or bait) in a narrowly starting, but deeply expanding story. This doesn't make his tragedy lighter, however.

To be honest, I feel sad and disturbed for everyone involved in this.
>Druggie is an utterly disgusting term. I urge you to indulge in some form of empathy. is druggie

Druggies and Alkies.
That's what they are, that's what they're called. Someone named them that, probably to avoid long winded over-complicated descriptions.
Carlin got it best with Shell-Shock becoming Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I can scare my kids with 'Druggie', less so with 'Person that has an addiction', whatever.
The druggies are downtown. The sufferers are elsewhere, suffering.
300mbit symmetrical fiber connection here. Even with a VPN (WireGuard), I can nearly saturate the downlink and uplink with a Speedtest and ~5ms latency. I get similar performance via sftp download from a server located several countries away. Upload speed is not nearly as good, but I can’t say if that’s due to my ISP or the server on the other end.

I’ve also seen a lot of Speedtest results for ATT fiber. These allow full gigabit transfers. I do wonder if these results hold up to actual use cases if someone can saturate 1gbit.
I have a suspicion that most of the people who are quick to react to any mention of GIMP with "Bad UI" aren't really those who see GIMP as a professional tool which could theoretically replace the proprietary one they work up to 8 hours a day.

If UI is reasonable and mostly logically laid out, the workflow can be adapted. However, if the available toolset and functionality are lacking, you just can't integrate the program into your daily work.

I'm very grateful for GIMP and Krita, but they are just not there. Sometimes, you even see the parts of the solution are available, but they don't compose, like in this Krita FR request, which is almost 5 years old by now:

I made a similar thing for myself, except that it parses Google' s HTML response and therefore has no limits, except for when Captcha is send, which the server detects and redirects the client to another instance.

My code is a total messy hack, because I'm not really that good of a programmer yet.

Example instance: http://1426059603:7327/?q=search+engine+site%3Awikipedia.org

I really didn't want to write this as an advertisement, lol (: I made it because my slow laptop can't handle Google's homepage (:

YaCy is also worth checking out, it's a peer to peer crawling network and search engine. Though it's really CPU and RAM hungry, so in fear of that and knowing that I do not know Java, I wrote my script in C with libxml2 for requesting HTTP/1.0 and parsing and libmicrohttpd for serving results.
Because I don't think the difference is worth my effort.
I feel like HN is turning into AskReddit, just reddit vibes in general.

I suspect "sperg" will get eaten by the euphemism treadmill long before "Autist" ever will be just because the concept of "Aspergers" is medically passe and it's namesake is a rather disagreeable fascist who was perfectly willing to send off any autistic he did not deem worthy off to get murdered by the Nazis amongst other issues and the ones he did deem worthy he considered to be psychopaths.

In my experience semantic versioning is more aspirational than something you can actually rely on.

Many times bug fixes are not back-ported to prior lines of dev

Other times, claims of backward compatibility on minor version releases are wrong.
Yep, a 5-seat personal Office 365 license is $100/year, and academia loves Google's online counterparts which are totally free. My wife who's a PhD also gets a free Adobe CS institute-wide. Very hard to compete with all that.

Overall, when I was doing a data model chart for my current company, I researched good options for doing that in a collaborative manner, and all of them are subscription-based now, which doesn't make sense for making a diagram or two when draw.io is available.
After deciding on a DAW, IMO the first pieces of gear worth investing in are decent studio monitors and headphones. Nothing helped more to improve my music than being able to hear it properly.
So people insist. The reality is that people buy the car they can afford rather than the super car they really want. So, whether they will like it or not, most of them will switch over in the next ten years with adequate range. That's why there are so many 40kwh EVs on the road already. They are more than good enough and they get the job done. In the end, spending 50K extra on a car you don't need with some ridiculously oversized battery for a journey you only do a few times per decade is completely irrational. The rational thing would be to split the difference and rent a super car, fly first class, or just man the F*** up and stop to charge for 50 minutes a couple of times the few times per year you have no other choice.

The good news is, it will be technically possible for people to continue to buy cars they absolutely don't need for money they can't afford. Not going to be a problem. It's not really a problem now, really. Manufacturers will be more than happy to take your money.

Case point only 2, but I can see slow but steady decline in my parents after their 50s. No addiction like alcohol or tobacco, no neuro-degenerative diseases, they just became slower, grumpier, more and more detached from 'the edge of society'.

Now they are in their 60s and same work they did all their life (leading economical department of 3 high schools with various rental properties, manager at metal engineering company having at one time 300 subordinates), they would barely manage. Memory starts to go down too.

At this rate, it will last them well into 90s to be OK for anything ordinary life can bring, but to ignore this is to ignore reality right in front of me.

Maybe there is some other factor, like constant hard training of the brain by having ever-evolving creative work instead of kind of same office work, or some other aspect.
Opposite of the idea that it's built "for friends, and not for influencers". One post per week is how influencers operate in order to create a sustainable flow of repetitive visits, not ordinary people posting just for fun.
They've been using this for a long time. I actually have a checkout of Rust's git from summer 2021 when I was contemplating doing a bunch of doc changes (to use arrays instead of Vec in examples where that was now reasonable and maybe clearer) sitting around and used that to quickly verify what you summarised above when I answered.

So this was all true in like 1.53 or whatever that checkout is, and presumably long before. There are quite a few of these unstable Traits laying about in Rust's standard library that express important ideas that we can't live without, and yet are not something that's nailed down solidly enough to stabilize, the standard library is allowed to do this while claiming to be stable even though we are not - the rationale is that if they rip out one of these unstable traits, they can do the work to fix all the mess and deliver stability in the stable API anyway, whereas the same could not be true for some third party crate.

Another unstable but useful feature, check out Pattern: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/str/pattern/trait.Pattern.html

Rust's string matching code uses Pattern everywhere so that even though Rust does not have ad hoc polymorphism (method overloading in C++):

"clowns".contains("owns") // That's a literal string

yet also

"clowns".contains('c') // That's not a string it's just one character

and

"clowns".contains(char::is_lowercase) // A method on characters which here functions as a simple predicate

A sound API and yet also more convenient and more extensible.
Nutrition is such a difficult field to research and study. Not only are the mechanisms very complex and poorly understood, they also differ from person to person.

But, there are a few things we know: It's more important what you eat than how / how much you eat. A home-cooked, balanced plant-based diet is probably the best "life hack" you can do (if you have the time to do it, of course).

Given this, I'm a strong propononet of "listen to your body": Just eat when you feel hungry, as long as you eat healthy things (see above).
That’s not at all the impression I get from interviews and reports by former Apple employees (0)(1). They almost always have huge respect for the execs they worked for. Bear in mind all the Apple execs for engineering groups are themselves engineers. It’s a highly disciplined and focused organisation, but that’s not the same thing as top down and good engineering is highly prized.

Take Steve Jobs. He was infamous for his perfectionism. But on the other hand he trusted his team. When several of his execs insisted that they should build an App Store, which he initially opposed, he folded and let them do it. He once said there’s no point hiring A grade engineers and then telling them what to do and how to do it. I hire A grade engineers so they can tell me.

> pattern emerge that are not Libre to pay back

I do not see this to be a pattern we will follow. We have a hosted offering which we earn revenue from.

The self-hosted offering always being free. All software is MIT, Apache2, or PostgreSQL licensed and we plan to keep it that way. We have the beneficial characteristic that we are a suite of tools, which limits the threat of competition from a cloud provider like AWS taking the software and offering it themselves. What would the offer from Supabase? Our Realtime server? PostgREST? The Dashboard? PostgreSQL? They already do. Our Postgres extensions? Hopefully they do, it will make it easier to run Supabase with RDS.

There are plenty of examples where somebody who has influenced the world was an idealist, out of touch with societal norms. RMS has serious faults, but his virtues have an immense value in my opinion.

Yes - so the safe thing to do is to put the lock outside the loop. Anyone experienced in multithreading will instinctively know this is the correct alternative for any codebase (and it performs better too).
Old adage is "Make right thing simple, make complex thing possible."

Thing is, we're taking about C library here, a piece of code that is potentially being built for a system that is not running yet and has no emulator.
The complex case is one of the defaults they must consider, but they made it impossible.

On the upside, that makes a strong case to just not use or support Musl. Glibc and uclibc exist.
I think the author made a fool of himself.

I see the final sentence as entirely detached from the rest of the story.

My take: Their testing procedures had detected he had lacked basic awareness of the situation. When he received a (written!) communication, he wasn't able to imagine that the author was not the smarter version of himself despite a multitude of clues. The idea didn't occur to him.

There absolutely is a need, when the life just doesn't work like people here are pretending it does.
