part of my phd dissertation was process migration for the desktop. I argued that MSFT or apple should make low powered portable devices (say phones/tablets) that were your computer, but could also be docked to more powerful computers. When docked, processes migrate off and run on the powerful hardware, when you want to undock, they migrate back.

when docked, the running gui apps switch to a keyboard/mouse optimized mode, and when undocked, they switched to a touch optimized mode.

I thought microsoft might have been heading in this direction with Windows 8 and the RT style apps, but instead of seeing it through they got gun shy and went back to more traditional style.
While I know much of what inspired her was the depression she was going through, I thought her knowledge of the illegal acts she knew were carried out also inspired her action. It's been a while since I've read her story though, so I could be misremembering.
The point of your work is to contribute to society. The point of my work is to sustain my own life.
FWIW, I've noticed this with non-Americans too. I did a backpacking trip around the world when I was 25, and the proportion of European women (always women) who felt like it was their duty to lecture or question me about the US's unique evil was absurd.

Unsurprisingly, I was a lot more informed and a _lot_ better at arguing than they were, so it was pretty trivial to completely demolish their points quickly enough that it didn't turn into "an argument", with the attendant social friction of disagreements that drag on.

I no longer spend much time around women in their early 20s, so I'm spared these extremes of ignorance, but I still occasionally come across the same tendency occasionally, albeit with a lot more maturity. The US is still something close to a global hegemon, so it's a target for hyperbolic projection by every simpleton in the world that wants to sound educated on geopolitics. Note that this also includes the best-country-in-the-world jingoists that can't recognize America's exceptional positive qualities without violently dismissing its exceptional negative qualities.

I have an uncle who's convinced that literally every conflict in the Middle East is entirely the US's fault, entirely ignoring a region that's been beset by conflict for millennia, as well as the modern borders drawn in crayon by the British on their way out. The best strategy, on HN and in real life, is to nod & smile & understand that these people have no hope of and no interest in understanding reality.
I actually suggested SVG out of laziness, er, efficiency in the first place, saves you from have to write your own "spec" if there are good SVG libraries from Lua. (Just a thought, thanks for sharing your work.)
This seems like a hideous & cruel way to take away a basic right to expression that humanity ought enjoy, given how very cheap & affordable digitalized expression is. Radically raising the barrier to entry to express yourself- turning back the clock to the 1970's level communication systems, or going Full Chinese Authoritarian moderation- does not seem worthy the rather abstract benefit of better regulation.

Bits are cheap. Being so very very afraid of them isnt going to progress us through these times. Clutching for such absolute assurity is blanketly infeasible & cavalierly retrogressive.
It is the kind of disrespectful rhetoric that defines the OSM community though.

I know you just used Uber as an eg. but, as I alluded to before, many apps [inluding Uber] allow you to fine tune what kind of notifications they are allowed to send anyway. Go under the 'Advanced' tab for App Notifications and, for Uber I get the choice to yay or nay:

* Discounts and news

* Account and trip updates

* Location use preferences

* Trip suggestions and reminders
we'll have a large recession - which will knock prices back down. The Fed has prevented this from happening but have to let the air out soon - but they have to make it look like it isn't their fault. (Cue gas prices)
Elon Musk threatens to scrap Twitter deal over ‘breach’ of agreement
When Mike Tyson was asked by a reporter whether he was worried about Evander Holyfield and his fight plan he answered; “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
If only we paid people to map everything to the detail you specifically need. I've never seen a public faucet that does what you describe, only in American movies in high schools (so those aren't public and most mappers won't know they're there or, even if, you wouldn't be allowed to use it as a non-student). I'm not sure the tagging scheme is the problem here: even if you'd enforce using the right tag by giving everyone mandatory training and exams so they tag everything perfectly, you'd not get this sort of detail necessarily, at least not without doubling the number of contributors as compared to today. (And that's from a German/Dutch perspective, countries which are already pretty well-mapped. In Belgium you probably need to quadruple the force or more.)
Docker: almost any thread about Docker on HN has someone complaining about it. It doesn't work properly on M1 (which is arguably Apple's fault, but the likes of Rancher have done a much better job than Docker). Several of their tools are in a half-baked state. Other tools are abandonware.

OTA broadcasters have to upgrade to ATSC 3 to support 4K video. You either need to get a new TV set or an ATSC 3 decoder to watch tune it in.

In Syracuse (about 50 miles away from me) the three network broadcasters collaborate to run one ATSC 3 transmitter with big which I can tune in with

https://www.silicondust.com/product/hdhomerun-flex-4k/

The picture on ATSC 3 is high-quality 1080i/720p with an aggressive surround soundtrack which sounds great for sports events on my home theater upstairs. I wind up watching the ATSC 1 channels more because: ATSC 1 signals have subchannels like Comet (I am a sucker for Quantum Leap, Baby Godzilla, Time Bandits, ...), the new audio codec in ATSC 3 doesn't work on every device, and the ATSC 3 signal is a little less robust than most of the ATSC 1 signals.

I think Sinclair broadcasting (the owner of the transmitter) is more interested in embedding sports betting into sports events as an interactive application than they are in 4K. I think that will wait until they start turning off ATSC 1 transmitters and turning on more ATSC 3 transmitters, but that will take a long time.
There goes my hypothesis...
Sam Gross has been working on a branch that removes the GIL and has a few other performance improvements. More details are here on the python mailing list: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/...

>I contend that the rat race exists not because of collective delusion but because of basic economics.

I think it's a combination of delusion and basic economics, with a huge pinch of cultural heritage.
Without rat-holing on "should," here's something I had to do the other day:

I am providing language-level APIs for a complex web service, one in Python and one in Common Lisp. The service has dozens of operations, all of which are wrapped around a REST API that takes query strings and headers in its inputs, and produces very different outputs. Model for this is something like S3.

In most languages, I have two choices: I can push the complexity to the users, making them plug the query string values into a big map or option object; or I can write dozens of functions, most of which are boilerplate.

In Python I wrote dozens of functions (I obviously reused a set of central ones, but there's lots of scaffolding to do, e.g., translation of arguments from user types to strings appropriate HTTP headers). In Lisp I wrote a macro that operates on a set of query string and header inputs, and then defines a function appropriate for the user-level API. When I fix bugs in the macro, I automatically fix all of the functions.

The trade-off is that the macro is itself a function that's operating at two different semantic levels (pre- and post-compilation), and it might be challenging to read for newcomers to Lisps. But this let me hide all the nasty API complexity from my users while writing substantially fewer lines of code. New additions are a single defmacro line.
There's not much metaphysics being explored in the articles. The game gives the player a world where you could make more interesting and fantastical experiments into the nature of time, space, and knowing with the magic system and altered physical rules.

The author describes the game's plot and has one or two minor points in how the game world differs from our natural world. The dragon's death has the ability to affect time, but exploring the metaphysical implications are dropped in favour of furthering narrative implications.

It would be cool to delve into the theology of Morrowind, it has strong Gnostic influences which was a historical dead-end in theology and yet drives a lot of the enjoyable 'power trip' hero's journey.
People weigh in on elections all the time. The public is still ultimately making their choice.

If anything the party always staying out of primaries would be a much larger issue.
Arkady Volozh is only one of co-founders of Yandex, one who survived.
It is interesting that another co-founder, Ilya Segalovich, was not only
involved in development of Yandex, but was also taking part in public activity,
such as combating electoral fraud, supporting children adoption laws reform,
attending opposition rallies. He passed away in July 2013.

I've always thought it was pretty accurate and not cop-out at all. At least they didn't try to squeeze in "id"
Actually, things like merge-join can benefit from the hierarchical aspect of something like a Btree, making not only the individual accesses/seeks more efficient, but also saving more in the first place
Similar to the "you didn't answer the phone, so now I'm worried you're dead / know you're ignoring me" scenario we have today in which 100% reachability means if you don't answer the phone, there's a reason.

The surreal world of "hey kids, go play all day. Come back before dark!" is unfathomable. We literally leash children that are too small to be reached digitally.

Fascinating societal change in a fairly short amount of time.
I'm not saying this is anything new, just pointing out that this is called corruption.

If the party claimed that they are in-fact biased against Bernie, as the evidence mostly shows, then this would have been fine.
However, if the party claimed it was neutral but yet secretly worked against Bernie then this seems to me like it is corruption.

Or do you disagree?
Give me a sufficiently large n and I’ll give you a sufficiently large constant.
How this happened with PHP was interesting to watch from the side. The competition that came from Facebook's Hack/HHVM seemed to be the catalyst, and helped set expectations for some benchmarks.
> The conjecture deals with primitive sets — sequences in which no number divides any other. Since each prime number can only be divided by 1 and itself, the set of all prime numbers is one example of a primitive set. So is the set of all numbers that have exactly two or three or 100 prime factors.

Minor clarification: exactly k prime factors, counted with multiplicity
It wouldn't have to be a signal, it could be physical artifacts.
I used OpenBSD on an X220 for years and it was lovely. Sadly I ended up going freelance, which meant having to do things like run Teams and Citrix, so I bought a Mac. I keep thinking I'll get it out again, but so far I haven't been able to countenance "I spent ~$4k on laptop X, but boy using laptop Y is just so nice", so I haven't done it.
While the tests are about the language, noobermin's comment that I replied to was not.

Here's my summary of the tests:

2.4: generator comprehensions; the obvious way if that's what you need

2.5: if-else expressions; a bit too easily used when if/else statement is more appropriate, but there are times where it's a good fit.

2.7: set notation: {0} is the obvious improvement over set([0])

3.0: ... as a token - I don't really understand why Python changed here. I only use it in indexing. It's not obvious when I would use it at all.

3.1: multiple context managers; the obvious improvement over a multiple indented managers

3.3: yield from list; the obvious improvement over for x in lst: yield lst

3.5: @ operator added for matrix multiplier. Solves a special pain point. Obvious only for that case.

3.6: underscores in numbers. Generally better for larger numbers. Mostly obvious.

3.7: async - I've not done async in Python yet, so can't judge

3.8: x:=expr; the debate that broke van Rossum. Not going there.

3.9: allow more complicated @annotation expressions; more useful than the alternative if that's what you need

3.10: match; no experience with it. I suspect it's more obvious

3.11: more async that I can't judge.
I regularly help my lawyer friend parse the DVDs she gets from police with the evidence from her case and it's a nightmare collection of proprietary ancient standards for old versions of Windows. They also still use fax machines for everything.

The only place you'd find technical talent is in the federal police or a few guys higher up in the major urban police forensics labs.
I think GitHub has it too once you log in
Signal is just another walled garden actively fighting decentralization. If it becomes big enough, attacks of big adversaries will be inevitable. Also, the problem with funds. Consider Matrix instead.
I'm glad to see this, and I'm hoping to use it. Genie bundled waay too much and was too slow for development. If this cuts down on REPL load times / Revise times, it'll be win in my book.

I still think there's a LOOONGGG way to go for Julia web frameworks, and specifically here there's auth / cookie handling / supporting static assets etc and a number of features I'd like to see enabled as plugins or add ons (not unlike flask). But for now, it seems like a great start.
How do you prevent this from happening? Nets?
I had always interpreted the grind as a bit wider. ie not just work but also say hitting the gym at 6AM would count.

Doesn’t make the authors point any less valid though I do think this mindset applied to self improvement is less harmful than pure work
Sign-up is now open to the public.

Proper MFA and basic connectivity to SSA are established.

I hope Sam Gross's no-GIL changes are adopted. It would be amazing to have full multithreaded concurrency in python.

> Yandex News service is how a lot of Russians consume news media. It has a systemic history of censorship and propaganda. Also, Yandex search has been known to censor the results as well — always in interests of Russian state.

so same as if you replace Yandex with Google and Russians with Americans
Surface Book was a step in this direction. The base of the computer had a discrete MVidia GPU, so you could run heavy GPU loads from the tablet section of the computer while connected to the base. If the base was removed, only the onboard Intel GPU was available.
> Then you still have the solar absorption problem.

What do you mean, lower albedo?
Well, send some down south then. Never seen any at any timber merchants. Maybe should've said England instead of UK.

Does that self sufficiency translate to lower prices?
Yandex is a great alternative to Google, btw, provided you're not searching for something the Kremlin has an interest in distorting.

They don't censor results for western sensibilities the way Google does. For example, if I search for a certain wrongthink blog I'm not supposed to be reading, google gives me literally 10 pages of results (I checked, out of curiosity) pertaining to a movie that shares its name--none relevant to the blog. Then when I tack on one additional specifier term (like part of the domain name, or the word "blog"), google magically relents and shows me the relevant results, as if to say, "ok, I'll let you search for that naughty thing, if you're 100% sure that's what you really want." Thanks, Google! By contrast, if you search the blog by name with Yandex (and DDG), it's on the first page.

Also, Yandex never nerfed the facial recognition features of their image search like Google, Bing, and the rest did. (I assume they did this because women complained it made it too easy to find their old nudes.)

Anyway, Yandex is good competition, and while not so much a complete alternative to Google, it's definitely a useful adjunct to it, and it's popular on /g/ for that reason.
This would be a better link to make that point with [0] since the controversy section on that one only links to it, but my response would still be that government employees cannot overturn the rule of law by getting away with a few crimes any more than people who are not government employees can. Could you imagine if the police would give up on a law every time they had a cold case?

> an inevitable part of late-stage capitalism, no?

No. There is no playbook or inevitability playing out. "Late-stage capitalism" is just lazy cynicism by a different meme.
> The point of work is to contribute to society.

That seems to assume work has just one purpose. That strikes me as false, in that different persons can have different purposes for doing work.

Can you elaborate?
competition between organism is pretty fundamental to the way life works. Convincing humans (or any other lifeform) to turn that off is going to be a tall order.
I appreciate your comments, Tom. Particularly that you actually installed it and tried it out before coming to a conclusion.

I'm not sure what you mean by "external text source". Ctrl-v does read from the system clipboard regardless of who wrote to it. Did I understand you right?
I think the fact that we will start to augment our bodies is a safe assumption. It's just too useful, and you will need to do it to compete. How will one get by without their AR retinal implants, brain chip and exoskeleton? Sure, it's dehumanizing but do you really think you will reject it? You are talking to me on a computer already... it won't always be external. When you age, you won't feel so sentimental about your teeth and spine anymore...

Now, if we let it rob us of sensations is another matter, and I think assuming that it will is the bigger leap. I imagine that in 10k years we will be able to integrate new parts with our nervous system. Think augmentation, not replacement, until the whole of the human body is replaced in form, but not necessarily function, like Theseus' ship, but without changing our experience too much.
> How exactly was someone "hurt" because of said spyware?

What do you think the information gleaned from the targets is used for, if not to harm the targets or others? This is beyond the fact that you don't think the mere act of having spyware installed on your devices is hurtful?
Opinions are pretty well set on Elon and Twitter both and a lot of people get bent out of shape over this drama. I can't help but sit back and enjoy just watching it go down. I think they deserve each other. Twitter is a great hive of self important scum and villainy and Musk is a modern day Edison in all the good and terrible ways.

It's fun to watch.
It's like article author has never watched a nature documentary where gorillas kill other gorillas for territory (or most other species similar).

Humans are bell curve like all other species. Nature rewards either strength, physical advantage, or mental advantage.... and there is constant competition. That's just the way it works in human nature.... humans are wired that way.

You either participate, don't, or find a different way. Griping about it accomplishes little. The gorilla that is sad he's not a silver back gets his skull crushed.

Not a lawyer, but I wonder if the wording on that applies only if there was no attempt to deceive, which would be criminal. It might apply a different standard, since the user count has been used for years in public filings misrepresenting the true value of the company to their shareholders. Could open up twitter to a class action.
How are people writing high throughput web/network services without async? Is there a async library to use. Like what do you reach for if you wanted to write redis or nginx with rust?
Yes they can choose to decrypt messages going forward (by injecting a third key controlled by the gov/Apple in a multi person message and silently copying messages) but they can't retroactively decrpyt them in that case.
