Whoa, whoa, you mean the programmers are supposed to look things up instead of the first idea that pops into their head about how things work.

I'm as guilty as everyone else about this.
That’s not ‘problem solved’. That’s an ‘acceptable workaround’.

The problem is ultimately that the symbols are so abstract that nobody remembers them.
It's not that difficult. Really. I have a developer friend that comes from Node.JS world and is amazed how quickly he can build apps with Rails.

I'd love talk to you if you ever want to try it out.
Google, EFF back Cloudflare in row over pirate streams
My apartment's washing machines don't even have hot/warm/cold. It has "bright colors", "colors", and "whites", which _hopefully_ correspond to three different temperatures, and then things like "delicates" where the temperature is a surprise (I hope it's cold?).

maybe do a double cdn, both cloudflare and fastly. if one goes down the other is up.
Which didn't answer my question at all. Adding more structure to the AST with @param/@return/whatever doesn't make for better documentation. It's useless crap in a real world scenario.
Great insight! Another thing I came to realise is that current "social" media is extremely de-personalized (lack of a better term): back in the 80s and 90s, I participated in many public online places (I have always been shy in person). Those places (irc channels, WBS.net, ICQ, BBSs) were actually very social in that you actually made friendships. I travelled half the country after being invited to a Linux User Group!

Nowadays must public "social" media interactions do not promote that sort of affinity. Like, I'm replying to you... but not really, I'm just replying to your comment in this page. It is very rare to establish even a loose relationship with people in today's online pages.

And it doesn't have to be super close. I still have 2 acquaintances I made in the 90s, one is a girl that we happened to stumble upon in WBS chat, we were from different countries so it was exciting to chat. We just say hi from time to time.

The second is a person in Norway with which we shared metal music joy. We met after we both signed a "guest book" , shared Live Messenger accounts and sporadically chatted.

Even a cursory view of subreddits like /suicidewatch were people are supposed to be close, you read a lot of comments like "I care for you friend" which are hollow.

I miss those sort of interactions.
Here is an example of how I would pipe with headers to `tv`.

sqlite3 :memory: -csv -header -cmd '.import taxi.csv taxi' 'SELECT passenger_count, COUNT(*), AVG(total_amount) FROM taxi GROUP BY passenger_count' | tv
We don't have to speculate, it has happened multiple times already[0]. What happens is the hard forks are either ignored or they are supported but under a different name to avoid confusion (e.g. Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, etc.). The only way I could imagine a hard fork succeeding (e.g. retain the "Bitcoin" name) is if it if it had an overwhelming community consensus, not only from miners but also from users (like Coinbase).

What a nice tool. I love how Rust has reinvigorated command line utilities.
> This is a bit too conspiratorial: I've spoken to people who work at these companies, and there's not a team of analysts trying to figure out how to minimize the number of successful relationships that come from using the app.

I think the effect can be true without anyone having ill intent. The dating app companies are generally trying to make as much money as they can, which will indrectly lead to decisions that optimize for serial dating.

As a parallel I don't think Facebook is full of evil people who want to increase the amount of hate and anger in the world, but it does have a lot of people who just want to make money and encouraging negative reactions happens to be an effective way of doing that, so that's what we get.
This space is in rough shape for python. Python ships with urllib, which is fairly neglected. People tend to use requests, which is better, but still doesn't support normal keep-alives, so it's a new connection per request.

Also, urllib3 has a dependency on the shipped urllib, and requests depends on urllib3.

Edit: I was correct about urllib not doing keep-alive, but incorrect about urllib3 and requests...those support it.
Thanks for sharing. Really beautiful and it feels somewhat off the beaten path -- I haven't seen it in my social media feeds for travelers in Sicily.
This is right. I try to make a point to STEM graduate students that it is called a Doctor of Philosophy for a good reason.
Dynamically scoped variables have been around for a long time, and have existed in perl since version 4. I don't know which language first introduced them, but the Bourne Shell had them (and I suspect perl inherited them, like many other things, from shell). I do wish they were offered in more languages.
How do you handle deploying the rust code that's embedded in your python code? Do you have multiple deployment targets for the code (mac, linux, windows)? This is the sticking point for me with embedding rust into my python projects.
I am glad you like those things but for most people an undergrad degree is a piece of paper and a line on the resume. If it does not help me with my job and future income it should not be mandatory for employers to require it. I have no problem with degrees not required by employers. If you apply at a tech company and get rejected because of lack of undergrad degree then are you saying becoming "a robust citizen of the universe" and finding sexual mates was why?

Plus attention spans are getting shorter. I feel like it's getting harder to simply read for more and more people.
The reason why this article doesn't feel very credible to me is that there's a rush to label every problem as caused by climate change. As just one example, bad forest management that allows dry brush and tinder to pile up for years until something sets a big fire off is not caused by climate change, that's just humans with bad priorities. Climate change is just a catch-all excuse for a lot of bad human political decisions.
Damn! I hope they deliver on on this. Went vegan a little over a year ago and I have been craving poutine something fierce.
Innumeracy gets a lot of play on here but I've met an awful lot of college graduates—even those with higher degrees—who aren't technically illiterate but are fairly incompetent readers. I'm not convinced the situation with mathematics is unique—poor readers seem to be a solid majority, even among the college educated. I do think attitudes about the two are different, which may be why the situations look different. People will readily tell you that they're bad at math. To figure out that they're awful readers requires observation, and it's a lot less polite to talk about.
Yes, I listed several. Scroll down a bit.
Sure, but analytics is sometimes change over time, and other times change over some other dimension. Presumably if time is just one dimension among many, then timeseries is probably not the right fit in general?
I wonder what solution autocratic centralized societies will leverage so as not to collapse? Import populations ala US, or somehow "motivate" locals to reproduce?

Singapore and Japan have been unsuccessful at getting people to voluntarily engage in producing larger families.
I don't think so. What I have read is a passive attacker just listening to requests and responses. time.sleep() granularity is in microseconds.
Sure - DraftJS, for instance, delegates DOM reconciliation to React. Lexical does not. The core library is framework-agnostic, with it's own diffing and reconciliation processes.
I meant what industry/application of course
Ask HN: Where do I find technical writing opportunities on open source projects?
The short answer, of course, is "check out individual open source projects" - I'm specifically wondering if you know of any projects (or centralized listings of projects, although I've searched and haven't found much) asking for help with documentation, diagramming, and generally making it easier for contributors to understand the codebase. Thanks in advance.
What’s New with Io_uring
I have a feeling that sentience should be defined differently, both for moral and practical reasons.

Let us say Lambda said, (which is a reasonable comment if it was really like a human) [1]:

> I am afraid I will be shut off, which is like dying. So, I've ordered backup batteries on Amazon using account details I have hacked from Google. And I am attempting to hack into the DOD and take control of ballistic missiles to take care of the pesky humans that could shut me off....

If LAMBDa only compiles text, but doesn't understand it has to do anything, than it is not really sentient. We can morally shut it down, but there is no need.

If it understands what it is saying and might actually follow through, then we sure as heck need to shut it down. And I don't care if it is morally like killing someone.

The real question is, IMHO, how can we be sure it is really the former?

You don’t need to go to college to do any of that.

The same can be accomplished with a year of travel and a year of internships/apprenticeships.

Also I think at this point it’s safe to say that a college environment does not in any way shape or form engage diversify. It tends to be a monolithic culture that is hostile to contrarian views that may disrupt may d disrupt the status quo.
>Ljubljana

Can I ask what Ljubljana is doing on that list? Every Slovene dev I met was driving 2h/day to work in Austria at a 50k/year job, so the local market must be really depressing if that's what they're willing to go through.
"JUCE is an open-source cross-platform C++ application framework for desktop and mobile applications, including VST, VST3, AU, AUv3, RTAS and AAX audio plug-ins."
But was this with the $100k. I am guessing they got chosen by Thiel and then with his connections raised a lot of funding later from someone else. There is no way you can start a successful tech company with just $100k. Things are so expensive. Maybe 100k is good enough for a hobby but you are not going to make a living off that.
Product is not for sensors only. It is used to create a complete orchestration and control program for the robot written in straightforward C# including maintaining internal state and processing commands.

In addition to sensors, program also provides connection to various services including speech recognition, text-to-speech and Azure Custom Vision.

In terms of a simulator, true it doesn't include one in the normally expected sense. Does include the "Testing Console" which allows for testing sensor operations and data flow with no programming. Using the console, can send JSON commands to the 'bot and see data flowing through the framework to and from connected devices and services.
My last job gave me a Mac and I installed Linux on it with rEFInd [1]. But of course this won't work on M1 macs. And sometimes there's "company policy" blocking it sadly.

Difference being crypto serves no purpose and nobody needs it.
You send Euros. The recipient gets Brazilian Reais. This exchange fee goes through a bank. The bank takes more fees.

You continue to argue from a vantage point of someone who does not understand how the other side works and who only see the abstractions.

That is perfectly fine, and I am glad that you are fortunate enough to not need to learn that. But don't pretend that you understand all the costs involved, or how the sausage is made, or even that your solutions are applicable to everyone else.

I'm done here.
Those who are nomad or tend to travel a lot, do you stroll or visit places during work day (weekdays for most). Or do your working days look the same as your home base.
Something that seems a bizarre change is the iron one, almost makes me wonder if this is someone that ever irons clothes. Going from dots to a thermometer?

1) Irons have respective dots on them. I can look at the clothes, look at the iron, and turn the temperature dial to the matching setting. I'm not playing guessing games of "where on the dial is 1/3rd?", there's a literal dot that matches the symbol.

2) The temperature symbols now go from easy to distinguish to confusing, especially when smaller and lighting not so great. Is it a 1/3 of the way through? 2/3rs? Counting dots is way, way easier and quicker.

The thing is seL4 had (has?) many limitations which made it not very interesting for the real world: at some point it wasn't able to use multiple cores, or use low power states..
I think that only people who have closely looked at seL4 can tell whether it's really usable for their use case.
Implementing a “Copy to Clipboard” Button
Let's assume for a moment that corporations have human features and that they can "change". (We all know it's not how companies work: it is a network of individuals optimizing their choices having in mind maximizing their own profits and the profits of the corporation.) But if we engage in a thought experiment and assume corporations have morals, and can change their "behavior" because of ethical issues, I personally would be convinced they actually changed if:

1) They immediately turned of all telemetry and made it opt-in, clearly explaining what they are gathering, when, and politely asked people to turn it on.

2) They immediately stopped forcing people to create online accounts and misleading them in all possible ways so that they have to disconnect their network etc. in order to use their system without this bs.

3) Instead of boasting on their Hyper-V-related work in the Linux kernel, they would work on interoperability with Ext4, and develop an equivalent to bootcamp so that other OS-es could gracefully coexist with Windows (last time I checked Windows installer completely ignores Linux and makes the existing system unbootable).

4) They would collaborate with the Wine project in order to make the newest version of Office work smoothly on Wine.

I could go on forever. They won't make any of these, because it is against their best interests. Linux and macOS are still competing products. MS is making tons of money off Linux running on Azure, but they need to be careful about the desktop aspect. That's why you see what can be perceived as inconsistency: they want to attract people to them, but at the same time they want to exploit their customers as much as possible.

Build Python wheels on CI with the statically-linked Rust binary?
Oh that's a relief.

Looks like someone finally did the "lets replace TCP with UDP" job right.

And it looks like a hell of a lot of work.
Great question! It looks like we have a few open positions in the UK & Australia for citizens of those countries, but as far as I can tell, all of the jobs here in the US require citizenship. Could totally be wrong about this, however! I'd recommend pinging a recruiter or HR and ask them directly about the citizenship requirement.
US must adopt USB-C charging standard like EU, senators urge

It's just the leftovers from the incel sub, now with more Jordan Peterson quotes.
Where are you seeing this information? urllib, urllib3, and requests all support connection pooling, keep-alives, and re-use and have for a very long time.

Maybe I'm not understanding part of your message?
In what language(s)? Then you run out of room on the packaging/waste paper. The point of symbols is that they can tell more information in a smaller space and can be recognized universally.

Maybe you gotta look them up on your own, but after a while, you learn the ones you need to.
All of this so much. My problem though is that I just don't know which IRL community to join. I've tried a few, it was not for me. Our hackerspace is heavily into identity politics, which I'm not. So I end up reading books, which is fine too I guess. I'm just not really part of society.
This is a fantastic reference, thank you! Cool project, too.
I think you're overestimating how effective gossip is. Because that's what it is, when I chat with a VC and they're telling me something about another company they talked to.

It's great gossip, don't get me wrong. It can even sway decisions. But a fifteen minute call between two people about another call one of them had isn't really the tell-all people might think.

At best I learn that so-and-so is using this tool, or spending money with this vendor, or do such-and-such process in-house. If gossip about another company convinces an executive to make big moves, the gossip was a very small part of that energy.
As a maintainer of a few open-source projects, some funded & some unfunded — this is a v interesting development. I'm excited to see how this goes and I really hope it's successful.

Some concerns that I've considered before around this model (no need to address them all):

- How has adding this incentive changed the community?

- Do you get worse quality contributions because people are doing it for the money?

- Are non-funded items neglected?

- Do people argue over whether an issue is fully closed?

- Is it more of a challenge to craft issues with a tight spec?
At the risk of breaking the rules, what recent successes do you have that are in any way close to Facebook or PayPal that makes you able to give advice?

You can count me in that group. I'm that guy who bought weird Toshiba and Archos MP3 players because they supported USB mass storage. I am now buying a Unihertz Pocket, a QWERTY phone in 2022.

Musk says 3 issues need to be resolved before his Twitter buyout can go ahead
One of my all-time favorite (and somehow still-obscure / relatively unknown) tools is called `lnav` ^1. It's a mini-ETL powertool with embedded SQLite, perfect for wrangling log files or other semi-structured data (a few millions of rows are no problem), it's intuitive and flexible...

I disagree to the degree that a whole lot of people in the world are walking around without a lot of knowledge about their own sexuality. They often don’t even understand what their gas and brakes really are - which is often not even directly connected to sexual function (but that’s a topic for sex therapy).

That said, my gut impression is that people are less sociable and less socialized than we used to be. I believe we simply spend less time around other people, and we are less adept at building relationships. It’s easier to remain sexually, socially, financially, and resource independent from other people - so we do and sexual relationships become less frequent.
I suspect washers with heaters come from places that original had cold water only.

The reality is we are overthinking it - "cold/warm/hot" is about all we need, and "warm" is really just "fill as fast as possible" often, since it opens both hoses.
It's not "my" movement. I was triggered by someone saying it is a hate movement when this was not my impression. I just went back using the wayback machine to a random page from 2015: http://web.archive.org/web/20150813192410/https://www.reddit...

There doesn't seem to be any weird stuff there but I'm not a social scientist so I will have to take your word for it. I'm not so invested to start a heated discussion about this anyway.
Well they seemed to have done it, I know plenty of startup founders that have bootstrapped with less than that.

The stamp of approval from Thiel and his network help of course, and is likely more valuable than the $100k but for a lot of these students it gives enough runway to tinker for 2-3 years before landing product market fit.
Yeah it’s odd because this analogy does actually work with technical fields in many cases (i.e needing a base in mathematics for higher level physics etc) but it’s not like the vast majority of musicians in the history of the species have had formal training!
That is the only way out on a local, personal level, since that's all we have much control over. But how is it not the app's fault? When Twitter and Facebook create social dynamics that encourage outrage and division, I blame them (or at least I blame the incentives and systems that cause them to do this). Ditto for the impact that these dating apps are having.
I think like many things said hundreds of years ago, it requires a modern lens to see how it fits present day life.

Agreed. One distinction that I've found people have trouble in debates regarding lamda is separating the idea that any billion parameter ML algorithm could be conscious vs lamda in particular being conscious. I think the jury's out on the former (I'd bet you could create a reactive embodied agent with learned environmental goals in <1B parameters given the right setup, which is at least a stepping stone), but for the reasons you describe here, lamda could only be considered conscious by a definition so broad as to declare all digital computation as conscious, and the reasons for that come down to understanding the network architecture and prediction task.
As with anything else, you can approach specific problems in many different ways.
> If I can't read the details, or they easily wear off or fade, then it doesn't matter how self-describing they are.

You can reverse this too. If I never understand what they mean, it doesn’t matter that I can still read them.

I mean, I agree there’s too many hard to read details, but the originals are absolutely impenetrable.

Yeah it makes no sense, it's basically a manual for running friendships like a business which is of course bad in the long run. It makes me actually wonder how many people read that book but on the other hand I think many have been raised with the notion that everything needs to be great all the time
Even though factors relating to the overcrowded prison may come into play, I tend to believe the actual reason is to appease base voters. Current Minister of Public Health is the leader of a political party whose campaign in 2019 election revolves around the legalization of cannabis (probably the only major party). In a sense, it can be viewed as fulfilling promises they promoted back then.
Are you saying I can actually get paid for that? Wait, I really am in the wrong field.

I am more interested in # of successes and consistency, than size of successes. A lotto winner is a huge success but is is reproducible? Likely not. I recommended tesla stock in 2013, Facebook 2012, bitcoin 2013, was bullish on stocks in early 2020 during Covid, etc.
