I think Greenland is part of Denmark.

Don’t forget administrative districts, like Guam, or Puerto Rico.

Tokyo has a “grid-based” street addressing system, that I never fully understood. There are streets with no name, there (wasn’t that a U2 song?).

I find that long/lat (don’t forget the Southern Hemisphere) is about the only universal constant. If I am writing software that has a focus on just one nation, that helps a lot, but I need to keep in mind, that I may want to expand it.

Normalizing time, across the International Date Line, or Prime Meridian, is also fun (Daylight Savings makes this fun. India has a time zone that has a 30-minute component).
The hardware is the least of their problems. I had never heard of this before so I looked at the website and saw their pitch.

It basically looks like simple movements repeated over and over. Because all you have is 2 controllers. There’s no way to add complexity or load because that would just be dangerous if you can’t see your surroundings.
For me the Quest 2 recreated the excitement of my first Macintosh. The first iPhone was also one of these moments, though a little less jaw dropping.
I'm curious. Are there a lot of advancements in dental literature or has it been also stagnating?
You still need to have a wallet to store all your passkeys.

I’d rather use bitwarden than Apples wallet.
This is an intriguing site, part of a series that is also intriguing. One thing I hadn't noticed before (see https://solutionspace.blog/2022/05/13/map-data-i-its-all-abo...) is that openstreetmap gives a lot of digits on coordinates. I see 45.6684436 listed as a latitude. If that last digit were changed to a 7, the location would shift by about 1cm. In lots of places, plate tectonics is moving things by about that amount per year.

I wonder whether openstreetmap is automatically shifting things in its database, using a tectonics model.

I also wonder why they are giving so many digits for user-entered data. Can a person buy an affordable GPS that gives centimetre resolution?
Only if you get caught :-D
Yup, saw that, catscull is out of stock, and littlescale's website domain has lapsed (albeit well archived). And the ROM is closed-source (but shouldn't be too hard to reverse).

I love that you say “demand” like somehow engineers are forcing companies at gun point to pay their salaries. No, stop. It’s the result of market pressure and actual engineering degrees + peng certifications being hard to acquire and desirable.

What a glib and senseless follow up.
Indeed. Search got along just fine before NLP. You should at least have the option of a "raw" text search.
It's almost identical to TLS over TCP, the main difference is that QUIC is responsible for reliable delivery of packets/frames once the TLS handshake is complete. The handshake itself is done in a special CRYPTO frame [1].

Reddit Status [1] isn't perfect, but it's miles better than a static page saying everything is operational while everything is in-fact inaccessible. That it took 30 minutes for the page saying everything is fine to be updated with a warning that there is an issue (while almost all of the services and regions remained marked as operational) only makes the ineffectiveness of that page more blatant.

It goes without saying that the monitoring system must be separate from what it's monitoring and must be more reliable. Compared to running a CDN for half of the internet, automated monitoring is table-stakes.

I'm guessing the following: to index a long tail of infrequently-used keywords (such as part numbers), it takes a lot of storage costs, with little if any financial return.
Either you don’t do business anymore with Eu users or any user on Eu territory (but how do you know there are not actually on Eu territory), either you try to automate it so you continue to “not care about it”
What would the role of the DBA be if you are the one creating tables, tuning indexes and optimizing your queries?
Not just people, a lot of the fault is on mods.

Talk about Epsteins "suicide" on /r/conspiracy, and get autobanned from a bunch of subreddits, you've never even heard of before.
An interesting note would be that multiple 9s of uptime isn't actually necessary to keep users happy on a site like HN. I used to use sites in the early 2000s that were down a lot more regularly than HN but it didn't put me off using them.

How can this be true? You still have the option of installing a K&R C compiler or whatever.

What has changed is that the complexity required of software has vastly increased. And perhaps there's an argument that the tools and languages have not kept up.

But try developing anything today with an old version of any language or tools, and it's not better, else obviously that's what everyone would do.
A single server is much faster than most people think, too!

In the microservice or serverless arrangements I've seen, data is scattered across the cloud.

It's common for the dominant factor in performance to be data locality, most times this talk about data locality is about avoiding trips to RAM, or worse disk. But in our "modern" distributed cloud things, finding a bit of data frequently involves a trip over the network. In the monolith world what was once invoking a method on an account object, has become making a HTTP POST to the accounts microservice.

What might have been a microseconds operation in the single server world, might become hundreds of milliseconds in the distributed cloud world. While you can't horizontally scale a single server, your 1000x head start in performance might delay scaling issues for a very long time.

Ah ok, I thought wirecutters we things used for cutting wires.
Interesting to see some societal changes reflected in the ad, for one the shortening of the skirt, which goes in hand with the girl getting older.

The other change is the style of the umbrella which in its first iteration had for today's taste a rather strange looking handle.
There are 60 countries with GDPR-like regulations so you can't avoid it anymore. Even USA are preparing a federal bill, so you'd better get ready for that rather than trying to fake it.
Nextdoor wins my prize for the scummiest human manipulation to increase user signups I've witnessed.

I live in the UK in a cul-de-sac with about 25 houses in the street. We've lived here about 4 years and have a dog so we have bumped in to all the neighbours and know all of them by name at least.

I get a note through my door from NextDoor claiming to be from a neighbour in my street with a name that we did not recognise. Apparently this neighbour had signed up for NextDoor to keep our street safe and exchange important information yada yada yada...

Needless to say it's total horse shit - none of us are using their scummy platform and have absolutely no desire to.

So they're preying on people's fears, and hoping that some kind of FOMO plus the fear of being stabbed in your sleep if you don't know what's going on in your street will get people on to their platform.
3D TVs were unavoidable too buddy.

Can you tell me more? I am not familiar with Ada
I would love to see a follow-up that addresses emergent centralization due to winner-take-all or winner-take-most dynamics. This is how we end up with monopolies/duopolies elsewhere in the tech sector, and I suspect the same would hold for blockchain.
> it's probably more like an effort for every web browser to mimic Chrome without realizing why that has problematic knock-on effects.

I agree with your points in the first sentence here (URL/serch bar) etc. However this is by design. It protects Google search with a moat, which in turn protects the lucrative Apple-Google search deal. Microsoft (with Edge and Bing) complete the three-party monopoly in OS-browsers-search [0].

Yes, we need good alternative browsers and browser innovation. There are plenty around, but none of them apart from Firefox (and forks) support search diversity, as they do with the search box [1].

Our own, search engine app, has a way of supporting similar one click search choice: Search Choices [2]. Users love it. Why be bound into the one-search-to-rule-them-all paradigm?

But watch out, browsers are being circumvented. The moat now being built is around how search links with the operating system and voice assistants. How do these three companies play? And do they play fair? Who cares you may say. As Tim Wu has said [3] "it is not a crime to be a monopolist; it is a crime to abuse your monopoly power." How will he view how they play together?

Microsoft ignores your choice of search engine in Edge with searches from Windows [4]. If you have chosen Ecosia, or set-up Ecosia as your search preference in Edge, that choice will be ignored and Bing will be used. Your choice is overrided.

Apple does something similar with Spotlight [5]. Suppose you chose Mojeek or Ecosia as your search preference in Chrome. And Chrome is your default browser on your Mac or iPhone. If you have Google as your search preference in Safari (and remember that is the default which Google pays $billions for), then the Spotlight directed search will be done with Google search in Chrome, not Mojeek or Ecosia. Your choice is overrided.

Google have Android. What can you do with the Search widget?

I don’t understand the “as both the client and server must maintain the same list of locks for each client” part of:

“NLM (the Network Lock Manager). This allows the client to request a byte-range lock on a given file (identified using an NFS file handle), and allows the server to grant it (or not), either immediately or later. Naturally this is an explicitly stateful protocol, as both the client and server must maintain the same list of locks for each client.”*

There is no “the client”, so if clients have to maintain that information, how is it distributed to all clients (including those that will make their first request in the future)? How does the server even know all clients, given the statelessness of the protocol? Or does that locking only work for requests from the same server? Or does the client keep that information only so that it can unlock the ranges when it discovers the process that locked the range exits/crashed? Is it even correct to assume such range locks can’t be created by another process than the one that will delete them (say after the first process forked)?
In my opinion, it's not a really fruitful discussion. The main problem is that people seem to think that the quality of music is somehow related to the musical form which is nonsense. For the first 1600 years of the common era (the year of the first opera performance), there was no "l'art pour l'art" music in the modern sense. Major works of the time before that had no "catchy" melodies and could probaby be passed of as 20th century music, e.g. Messe de Nostre Dame by Guillaume de Machaut [1] and let's not forget that after that, 99% of the music produced for the next 300 years was mostly inconsequential just like 99% of the music produced today is inconsequential. When talking about classical music, we are talking about maybe 50 actual people that were unusually gifted. JS Bach improvised 3 voiced fugues on the spot on practically any given theme. Mozart reportedly memorized many-voiced chorals from one hearing. Beethoven composed his greatest music while being almost completely deaf.

All those greats were writing in the popular forms of their days which constantly changed. There were not that many great "pure" fugues after Bach, not that many great piano sonatas after Beethoven. So why should there be so many great symphonies or string quartets now? Every form has it's time and it's place.

There will be a couple of great composers with similar skill as the "classics" left from the 20th century but just as all the great composers before them, they will have taken the popular forms of their time and enriched them with layers upon layers of musical complexity to be discovered (and enjoyed!!) by the generations to come. I believe McCartney/Lennon will be one example of that. Maybe Radiohead. It's usually for the future generations to decide.

I noticed, one typical trait of great composers is natural skill which often means unbelievable speed and quality at the same time. Bach produced a 20 minute cantata (i.e. a 20 minute opera) EVER WEEK for YEARS (while still doing lots of other stuff). Schubert produced lieder like a machine, many of them the best of the genre. One has to contend with the fact, that there are only a couple of people in a generation with that ability and it probably cannot be taught and is to a high degree inate. As can be seen in many documentaries now, the Beatles came up with some of the musically best songs of the 20th century in hours or few days.

So lets enjoy the great works in the forms of the past and the great works in the forms of the present and lets not try to force past forms on todays audiences.

It’s a failure to use the intr mount option. I’ve never had a problem using soft mounts either, which make the described problem non existent
Facebook, Tiktok, Twitter, et. al provide an ad-sponsored eugenic function throughout the modern world. As much as we may groan under the burden, future generations will benefit.

And if the concern is state surveillance / narrative control, social media is a lightweight compared to the print / broadcast monocultures it replaced.
It's hard at scale.
> How exactly is it gonna make people do the switch from Google search...

I don't think we are talking about the same thing. The issue is not in getting people to consume the services that are "freely" available. The issue is in enabling people to participate both as consumers as well as producers in the larger economy without depending on intermediaries.

Instead of "get people out of Google Search", think "allow people to buy and sell things online without depending on Paypal" or "how can we have an alternative for the small olive oil producer in Amazon if for some reason Amazon decides to enter the market and abuses its power?"
Perhaps if you gave us some insight on what profit margins amazon is making on S3 and why you think so it would help us follow your thoughts. Just saying "pah, patently ridiculous" and then swiftly moving on is not something of use to anyone.
Thanks, wasn't aware of package-info.

Yes, the module system is an improvement. Java is becoming more pragmatic as the ideological dominance of OOP is dying out.
Interesting so how deep does the conspiracy go? Is a big portion of Reddit mods trying to cover-up "Epstein" crimes?
I've attended the concerts in Fortnite because they give free XP, not because I give a fuck about the concerts. You are the one that is out of touch.
Is there no limit to the amount of "Standing up" or rules about when and with whom you do it? Because it seems to me that if some people reject your existence, and in response you politicise your whole existence and become an insufferable walking-talking political billboard constantly shouting the same things regardless of context or consent of the people you're shouting at, seems to me like that's walking right into their trap?

I can say, speaking from experience, that insufferable political advertising has the effect of making people who had no objection to your existence previously gradually start despising you.

Isn't the best revenge, as always, to live well and normal? Maybe save your moral grandstanding to the next one who says your existence is a sin, and not the user who wants to get shit done?
A family member recently purchased a PS5. I have an Xbox Series X. And I am amazed at how unnecessarily awkward and grotesque the PS5 case is. It doesn’t fit well with the decor of almost media rooms nor physically fit in existing cabinets. Also the plastic does not feel premium. Lifting and moving the device you can hear creaks. The bluray drive vibrates the device which can be heard while in use. The XSX player is much quieter. The PS5 has no rubberized feet. At the end of the day these are purpose-built computers to play games. They should blend into the entertainment center. The XSX is a box that quietly does it’s job. For a Microsoft product the XSX has the premium feel.
The concept of "being down" doesn't really apply to protocols. IPFS/BitTorrent never being down is a bit like saying that TCP/HTTP has never been down. Individual servers/client can have connection issues, but obviously won't affect clients not connected to those, and is not because of the protocols themselves.
Modern art doesn't start until the 19th century. Picasso is also considered a "modern" artist despite being quite different from oil paintings of sunsets. Colloquially people can also use "modern art" to refer to art made today because the word "modern" means essentially present day. It's only people in the "know" that are going to distinguish between Modern Art and Contemporary Art vs. modern art.
Why don't you post salary in the ad?

That's the first thing that gets me interested in the ad. I don't even start to read ads without salary.
I mean… why would they be on TikTok? China has its own clone (named Douyin) as they usually do. AFAIK it's very popular there.
It’s probably due to a lack of content. I will go through waves where I don’t use it, then hear about something new and get into it again.
> There’s a huge difference between being there from day one vs day 2,555. Between being a founder and an employee who joined later on

This is true but there is also a huge difference between 97% and 3%
Sure, on average I still win.
I was surprised by that also. Will ask.
Appreciate the aesthetics, though I think it is more of the fool-proof design of IKEA's furniture that makes the easy-to-follow instructions possible.
What I had figured in this past ~10 years since working with Jira: it is not this software that made my life hard but the project managers, administrators etc. who are misusing it.

E.g creating lots of fields with overlapping meaning. Creating very basic/lame status-flows but not enforcing it. Or creating very hard to follow status flows. Or misreading the data from tickets status history. Or never trying to learn how to use it but find the guy at (my) table, to create the queries, dashboards etc. (and then misuse them). Or the devs who were complaining about missing info but creating one-liner comments as well (if at all). Or the devs who are not searching for duplicates, similar issues and/or link them so it can be tracked.

It is far from perfect, and JQL is so far from being intuitive, but I can live with it - until there is a better alternative that is capable AND I have to use that.

The claim that the saying originated with the Morton slogan seemed fishy to me too.

So thanks for doing the digging. I upvoted you, and everyone else who linked to earlier usages.

If Morton Salt is trying to take credit for coming up with the saying, shame on them, but somehow I doubt they are. So doubly shame on historydaily.org for pushing a false narrative.

It goes to show that you can't blindly trust whatever you read, even on a .org site.
Greatness is defined by extreme and unusual talent combined with lasting cultural impact. With respect to the composers you mentioned, their cultural impact has been tiny - in the sense that their influence on current and future composers and audiences is likely to be negligible.

There's a point at which a medium becomes stale no matter what you do with it. No one declaims epic poetry from memory or writes complex medieval polyphonic vocal music now, and IMO orchestral/classical music is going the same way.

Bach to (roughly) Berg's opera Wozzeck will keep being played, and perhaps Reich and Glass from the 60s/70s. But I'm not hearing much else that has broad non-niche impact and appeal.

This was the investigation largely carried out by Richard Feynman, who ignored much of the other investigators to actually get to the root of the issue.
This is an extremely American -- and misinformed -- view of unions. Where I'm from unions are the default, not formed as a last resort to unjust treatment but a natural counterbalance to corporate/institutional power.

Someone saying they'd rather not have their workers form a union is not pro-union. That's like saying you support workers sharing information but you would be offended if your workers talked about their salaries because that would infer that they don't trust you to be fair.

Nowadays there are so many IT companies that can help you. And for myself, I found these amazing developers with huge experience, you can check their site https://www.intellectsoft.net/services/custom-software-devel... Because I think it's important that company have a significant portfolio of their works. And they have a wide range of custom software development services to accelerate the digital transformation of your business.
I appreciate the comment. I believe it is mostly a "me" problem as well. I don't think everyone is an idiot. I do think we have a bad tendency to get bored and want to chase new exciting technologies. Sooner or later anyone would just get tired of it. I'm trying to identify if I need to fail fast and move on, if it isn't already too late.
You are quoting critics negatively assessing a popular composer, whereas the article talks about how music now praised by critics largely fails to engage the public.

(Note that Fidelio did indeed receive an unenthusiastic reception in 1806 and only became successful when performed after a thorough revision in 1814.)
Be sure to check the hydra level song of thunderforce III. Possibly one of the best video game music ever.
Open citizenship is limited, after open citizenship ends you will need to apply. All citizens get a citizenship card.
But to do that I have to buy nano, and then you need to cash out nano to do anything useful with it.

Also frankly, if I'm paying as little as 0.001 Nano, then probably I don't actually care about your article and reading it is pure procrastination on my part, so I'm likely better off not doing so. Thanks for putting up your paywall :)

Static and dynamic langs both can be nice to work with IMHO. Not a big difference these days. The thing I really don't like very much, as it does weird unpredictable hard-to-test things, is asynchronous programming. Maybe I'm stupid or not-yet-good at async programming but I'm not the only one. But with JS, seems you're stuck with that.
