Note to author: the part with actual shell examples is buried too deep, I didn't think it was capable of actual shell things (seemed more like a scripting language) until I came across the 'Shell Capabilities' chapter. Seems like an obvious title but I completely glossed over it while perusing until I did a keyword search for 'redirection', and I imagine many people will too.

Consider putting everything on a single page like oil shell does [http://www.oilshell.org/release/latest/doc/oil-language-tour...], so that simply scrolling down will show the shell examples without having to manually click click click the next button.
> namespace rng = std::ranges

Aliasing the namespace is great! But pick a good name for the alias. Naming things is, after all, one of the hardest things for programmers to do.

If I see `rng::` without knowing what it is then I'm going to assume it's something to do with a random number generator.
Is there a distinction between censorship and a subset of books approved as curriculum?

To me (not from the US, far from conservative), it seems needlessly divisive. I'm all for real-world examples in maths/science instruction, but there'd surely be better alternatives that keep focus on learning the core topic at hand.
The worst part of all of this is that their stores DO have heaping mountains of apps that should be removed: the outright scams, the useless apps full of trackers, etc. Absolutely no effort whatsoever is being placed into removing things that are truly harmful.

There is a very clear hierarchy here, and it isn’t “developers first” or even “developers 7th”. Instead, it is: whatever makes an absurdly rich company even richer is A-OK, the “curated experience” will be sure of that.
this feels like yet more inordinately & vastly incorrect obvious hogwash. how is tls end to end? it's literally you to your immediate service: it will never ever be end to end by definition. could it be any more obvious? why does such an obviously irrelevamt non-sequitor keep showing up? if the server you are talking with can decrypt it, it means it's not a secure channel. definitional, inarguable, basic.

how can are all the replies so wrong? what is this conspiracy against reason? what definition of e2e encryption are you using, when i communicate with my friend, and how does it accomodate this twisted ass warped "google can so read my messages" flagrantly incorrect viciously wrong misinformation view that merely having singleink tls security that you & other dude argue for? why is everyone so up on being immoral & misleading & wrong here about end-to-end encryptiom?

it secures a connection. but data going from party to party traverses multiple parties. end to end encryption, by definition, is not encryption between you & the service: it's between you & the other party.

intensely fantastically stupidly wrong & insistent argumentation keeps happening. i keep getting downvoted, ya'll keep making wrong posts with way off base claims. so sad. hopeless universe. again, folks lole nitrokey saw exactly this weakness, this inability for current web crypto standards tk ever help secure user data from the services they connected to, something tls cannot ever help with. but ya'll keep focusing.on the tiniestost irrelevant hop of data, keep insisting one leg of encrytion is equal to end to end. no.
How often do you run into an issue where things only would have worked if you use sh? What domain are you working in?
Yeah, that's a good point. When I was talking about her background I was mainly trying to emphasize how she differs to the business leaders of other big space companies. Since I think that a big reason for the utter stagnation of the previous rocketry giants has been the systemic dominance of non-technical penny pinchers over engineers with a business lean. But yes, it does come down to the desire to learn rather than what degree they hold.
That first chapter is so terrifying.
Sure, and neither is Twitter banning people. The argument is that Musk will silence or get retribution against people through Twitter ownership, just as he does in other contexts.
Except that Facebook is nearly irrelevant these days. Facebook is relevant only because of its acquisitions of apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, etc. Twitter doesn't have that.
Price is the main reason. Write performance is a second one.
There are many job postings for folks with 3+ years of experience. Very little is being offered for people who don't want to work in Big 4 or haven't completed a few internships. Most traditional entry level work is being or has been automated. Accounts receivable and payable are being rolled up along with payroll into the job duties of outsourced accounting and the like.
There are places that's still available in the continental US. It should get pretty close to what you could get out there. I've been out to Great Sand Dunes in CO and it is pretty magnificent.

I don't think you understand. I'm gay.

When you hate on gay people and call people who disagree with your bigotry "woke" then it has everything to do with your "stance", not mine. And I'm not the one 'cleaving' people apart. You are.

The author mentions “stability” again and again. Stability means consistency over time.

Divorce, almost by definition is destabilizing.

It’s possible to have a divorce without a change in living and childcare arrangements for the kids. But that’s very rare, and frankly I can’t imagine he point.

“Stability” is agnostic to family structure, or whether the structure is normative.
With no other attention? Don't know.

In our timeline he did, since I remember reading some followups he wrote about it.

It's not the real most annoying research you could post; that'd be the NBER paper finding protests reduced covid cases by getting uninvolved people to stay home.
I dont think that's where this conversation was going. I believe you got that impression from me mentioning fractals, but even so fractals are only self similar not identical.

Maybe the fractal nature of computing is not in the "are we living in a simulation?" Kind, but is in the "we can imitate what we see at a different scale with fundamental units, logic/math, and visual field". In a sense it is a universe within a universe, but that doesn't imply everything is everything. It implies there are many things at different scales that are self similar. Scale still exists and is relevant.
Couldn't you fix this by running an adversarial transfer learning step after you've trained your model? The adversarial transfer is not going to preserve subtle nuances like this because they should be indistinguishable from regular noise. I'm not a deep learning expert though so I'm sure I missed something subtle.
The read-only post from January said

> Today, git.io is increasingly being used for malicious purposes.

So my guess is they observed an increase use of some number of existing git.io URLs (perhaps where the destination URL was squatted on) being actively used for "malicious" things.
It doesn't let you run an active replica from WAL.

Detailed analysis at IPs that were marked as Inbound : Critical
Agreed. I don't like the trend of devices, especially IoT devices, that bake in support for CAs without supporting other certificates or allowing you to adjust their trust stores. Real attempts at decentralization away from CAs might force companies to change how their devices deal with certificates and trust, hopefully putting power back in the hands of device owners.

At the very least, they aren’t resigning and relegating themselves to be a victim of Elon Musk. That’d be weakness and the opposite of “power”.

In this hypothetical you’re taking Tesla’s profit as a constant. Most car companies don’t have a margin anywhere near Tesla’s. Less than 10% is common.

Edit: Also, the average new car price is 47k in the US (https://www.kbb.com/car-news/average-new-car-price-tops-4700...). Although, I guess the world average is probably a lot lower.

Designing a set of glyphs for an alphabet is a multidimensional optimization problem:

- economical for writing - minimize changes in direction, minimizing movement, etc.

- clarity between glyphs (0 vs. O, + vs ×)

- robust to noise, 3rd graders and doctors

- insensitive to medium (pencil/paper, stick/clay, brush/papyrus)

- legible at small sizes, low contrast, noise in the display (coffee stains, inkjet cartridge low, etc.)

- context - if two glyphs rarely co-occur, it's okay if they look similar (0 and O, I and 1)

Twitter CEO Says It’s Business as Usual Until Deal Closes
The constituencies served by these folks is a much bigger tent than that. Pesticides, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, big agriculture, various cultural and political movements, and many other industries and groups often have a vested interest in spiking the efforts of the Reality Based Community. It isn't just Big Oil (though they're certainly the biggest monolithic player).
Has anyone here actually used DDD for building a significant production system? I have read a lot of material on the subject, and everything always sounds good in theory. But whenever I attempt to put the patterns to practice it seems like there are endless pitfalls and gotcha moments.

I would love to see an example repo of a successful implementation.
I moved away from Windows at the beginning of the year. My first Distro was Linux Mint, then Ubuntu 22.04 and yesterday I installed Pop_OS 22.04. Fedora didn't fit my requirements as it doesn't support fractional scaling.

All very, very solid.

I gave Pop_OS a try because I wanted a simple tiling window manager. It does all I want.

The only thing I don't like is the color theme. I know it's a matter of taste but Pop_OS is by far the ugliest out there. Also the default backgrounds. Or the stacking window bar. I wonder what other users are thinking ...

Otherwise is seems very awesome so far. I don't understand the complains regarding the Pop Shop. I think it's actually pretty good. E.g. I can choose to install VS Code from Flathub or as deb Package. That's nice.
I'd love to see indie game developers use these tools in combination with DALL-E to recreate the style of the PlayStation-era Final Fantasy games. 3d characters in 2d pre-rendered worlds. Presumably with the right tooling -- creating imagined geometry in DALL-E and generating boundaries programmatically or by hand, character models from friends / cosplayers found via craigslist and open animation sets -- you'd be able to generate a game of Final Fantasy VIII's caliber with team as small as a lone developer in only a few years, maybe shorter.
This is the kind of thing Linux users like.

>Do you believe privacy is a right?

From a legal perspective, this depends on the country you're in. In the US where Musk lives things like Article 8 do not apply. Also, public figures in general are considered differently under various legal tests than private figures.

The Prolog Adventure by Alain Colmerauer (the Creator of Prolog)
I feel bad, I just recommended a project use git.io short links a few months ago and they took my advice.
Be careful with the conviction that you are right, and others are wrong, to the degree that you are willing to force people to do things. Forcing people to do things for their own good has a terrible historical track record in terms of doing damage, and people who do it, no matter how sure they are, often find out later they were wrong after all.

You may not think raising gas prices is the sort of force that might incur damage, but making life more difficult and expensive is inherently costly, and those costs are real -- settling for jobs that are poor fits, education that is missed, businesses that fail, needed care that becomes economically impractical, opportunities missed due to expenses. A sacrifice that means little to you may be tragic in someone else's life.
So you make dictionaries with `@[ ]` instead of the more usual `{ }` so you can use them for “bash” blocks? Nah. There’s surely a better way.

> Why exactly? I honestly do not understand HN fascination with Firefox.

Well, for starters, uBlock Origin works as intended on Firefox as opposed to Chromium and this will become more apparent with manifest v3.

I don't know about others but I also like how Firefox lets me choose the fonts that I want to see on the web while Chromium browsers don't.

> I want to point out that scare quotes connote doubt or disdain or sarcasm, so it seems like a mischaracterization to say they "literally wrote that", as if you two are in agreement.

Quotes are not always scare quotes. In fact, they are most often not scare quotes. And if you read that one sentence in the context of the sentences that precede it, it is quite clear that the sentence means exactly what was written.

I'm really not.

I did not. You'll notice that the parent brought up Harvard, not me. Higher education was one of their talking points I was responding to, however in no way was my argument limited to higher education.

Maybe the part you missed is where I stated

> It makes more sense focus on underrepresented groups than overrepresented groups when trying to address systemic issues. It’s more efficient.

This is a general statement. It isn't limited to higher education.
Whether its a nightmare or not depends on what you practise.

Dependency heavy environments such as e.g. node or python make it a nightmare. But large stable base library environments with selectively chosen dependencies are usually easy to manage, e.g. .NET.
i would like an open source browser that shares data collected from all its users. so the public can have access to the types of data google et al have.
First I've heard of him tbh.

I'm not aware of anything he's accomplished but can see the delusion. ML people seem to think the output of their work is not mediocre. Yeah, you bred monkeys till something resembling shakespeare appeared to some reproducible consistency and it is better than something someone can code - but that's an incredibly low bar.

Acknowledge that were still very much in the stone age of AI and what were doing is large scale analytics at best.
They’ve gotten plenty of attention. No one wants to build off a sluggish browser.
I could have phrased it better, but my point is that no single book on management can reliably make people into good managers, any more than a single book on engineering can make people into good engineers.

>but in the end it doesn't matter because there is only one entity involved with both the ability and the standing to justly apply either defensive or retributive force in response to a threatened or actual infringement of their rights

Standing is where the Libertarian argument collapses. It is the age old question of when does a human have standing and a right to life. Can you kill your 5 year old child, 1 year old, 9 month fetus, 15 week, fetus, ect?

There is no clear libertarian or scientific answer for when rights and "standing" enter the human body. You extended the NAP to requiring direction or awareness from the harmed party, but there is the matter of time.

Would the harmed party in this case object if given time and awareness? If you shoot someone before they object, do they have no standing? If you poison them secretly, without knowledge to object, do they have no standing?
The Medical Alert Hack
I have a question about blockchain DNS's. This might be the time to ask!

There is a centralization aspect in any DNS, blockchain or otherwise in that, literally to be useful, there needs to be consensus about which chain operators own which .{name} extensions for a given name. Which makes financial incentive for say an investor to 'bribe' browsers into using their DNS, which then charges money to end users, which er... feels a lot like the DNS we have.

I think that "true" decentralization might come from nameless "domain". If a domain is a SHA256 hash with no name, then with QR Codes and search engines and hyperlinks it doesn't matter as much that they are not memorable (we managed with nameless phone numbers, right!). Hash providers can be any chain, and then your job as a browser is to add as many mainstream chains as possible (there is no need to decide who is the 'official' one, or rank them, so Ethereum is no better than Dogecoin) as hash collisions are practically impossible.
I'm not exactly sure. I use xonsh, but pretty much exclusively because it has better autocomplete and can serve as a calculator(Type 4 *3 in bash and it won't work without some calc command). For actual scripts, I use bash.

But then again, I don't write shell scripts. I might have a 5 line logic free script here and there, but pipes and variables and loops and globs are not a regular fixture in my life.

I just move straight to Python if I want to program something, and I almost never have any need for a quick ad hoc script.

But some people do real work in shell. And they like to program interactively.

And bash is not the nicest language. I don't think any shell is that great, they all make compromises trying to be both a UI and a language, but bash is especially not great.

I wonder if the people who like shell in general would like a FORTH based shell.

> On my phone it supports all desktop extensions.

Last I checked, Mozilla did everything in their power to prevent you from running desktop extensions.

If I may ask:

1. Which version are you using?

2. Where did you get that version?

3. What settings/process did you change/follow to make firefox accept all desktop extensions?

Please be as specific as you can. A link to a Mozilla resources. if you can provide it, would be even better.
Okay: So it comes down to whether you think decentralization is some epically awesome feature to have in a financial platform? Great, but that wasn't your original claim, and it wasn't the part I found dubious.

The part I replied to, rather, was the claim that you can't build a better Uniswap et al, for any reasonable definition of "better", and that nobody is able to propose such a mechanism despite their efforts[1], and that finding the centralization tradeoff good makes you unimaginative.

Even as an avid cryptocurrency/smartcontract enthusiast, I consider this unjustified hyperbole. Decentralization has costs and benefits. You gain resilience and verifiability, but at the cost of having to pay the overhead to ensure the decentralization.

So you can absolutely have a centralized version of Uniswap et al. It would look exactly like Uniswap does today, but cheaper, and without (some of) the guarantees against corruption and verifiability.

You dislike that tradeoff. That's fair! But that doesn't justify the conclusion that "no one can imagine a centralized Uniswap".

It may be "statically typed" but from a consumer's PoV, 100% opaque. My first question when trying to build any project is "what is this going to do to my machine" and with some golang based build system, you're asking for a lot of trust on two different levels: 1. go install something (so now I need to read its source) 2. oh, turns out it actually delegates to an entirely separate binary that I now need to separately read

And I hear you about "but scripting!!1", however, using one of the existing tools means there is a non-zero chance of someone having experience with them and maybe even having reasonable editor support for it

It's your project, so I know I'm just some rando on the Internet, but I wanted to make sure you were choosing the contribution path you wanted to build upon, and not just hacking something together for expedience that then has to be unwound later. In this specific case, that goes double because it already has tight coupling to GN due to Chromium
