The marketing names for macOS and OSX have always been random other than having a general theme to it.

The OS in most cases just refers to itself by the number and is what it will show in a lot of scenarios in addition to the marketing name.

For me (participating in a small open source project) upvotes are useful - it is a confirmation that anyone else cares about that idea and that someone read what is being proposed and at least is not protesting.

Why do you need syntax and recursion? From a very mathematical point of view, languages are just a set of words. And human language rules are not really grammatical rules for the most part - there are an endless number of exceptions.
I understand, agree, and feel for you. It sucks when people are vague when asking for something.

From what I can tell though, a lot of folks are vague in general. They’ll avoid putting in the effort to clarify as long as possible, hoping others will do that clarification work for them.

The question I then ask is “why?”

I think the answer lies in three categories of people:

- lacking knowledge: to know what’s worthwhile to explain what’s happening (common with non-technical folks)

- lacking time: to take the necessary effort to describe and explain something is expensive if you have a very full schedule

- too lazy: can’t be bothered to care enough to take the time to explain themselves properly.

I’d like to think it’s more of points 1 and 2 that are causing this problem, but I have a feeling the majority of it is point 3 based on my interactions with humanity.

What are your thoughts on this? Ideas for how we could improve bug submission given this very clear and arguably difficult problem?
On paper, sure. But that just is not the case in reality and probably never will be.
Townscaper is an amazing little toy, my kids (and myself) love it. Perfect for distracting them on a car journey. We will pass them an iPad and three minutes later you hear the little “sploosh” sounds of them building something having picked it to play.

There are so many little hidden detail to find (look for “round” grid areas, build a tower in the middle then delete the bottom of it and see what happens)

I have been following Oskar on Twitter [0] for last few years, he is such a good communicator. It’s always a joy when one of his posts turned up with the details of the latest thing he is working on. Even if you aren’t interested in game design he is such a good follow.

I imagine as the number of versions increase, there is more tracking you have to do when someone doesn't explicitly mention the version number.
PSA: systemd-journald uses shared file-backed mappings via mmap() for its journal IO.

You must subtract its shared memory use from its resident memory use before judging how much memory it's consuming. The file-backed shared mappings are reclaimable, because they are file-backed. The kernel will just evict the mapped journal pages at will, since they can always be faulted back in from the filesystem.

TFA is much ado about nothing, learn to measure memory use properly before breaking out the pitch forks.

Full disclosure: I've hacked a bunch on journald upstream.
Sorry to hear you gave up. And "Code does not matter" sounds evil. And, if third party is fine, who's that party?

Well you would be right if upu only averaged out yearly inflation over large periods of time. However this stability you’re talking about is just an illusion.

Year to year it was much worse e.g. during the 19th century yearly inflation in excess of 10% was much more common than after WW2 however it was usually followed by similarly high deflation when the current bubble burst.

Teachers make 13% more than the average salary across the U.S., yet public perception is that they are horribly underpaid. No one is getting rich being a teacher, but they are certainly paid a decent wage. It's a hard job but most jobs are hard. I know a ton of school teachers. It's true they put in extra work each night but every single one of them has the summer off to relax and recharge. They are also free to work another job in the summer to supplement their salary.

Of course, nationalism is not the only way. You can unify your society based on religion, brute force, a common enemy, etc. Generally these methods aren't even mutually exclusive.

> to claim the special, irrefutable case of 'natural'

Loyalty to family and tribe is natural, because it's an instinct that has been honed by millions of years of evolution. Applying that loyalty to a much larger group (the nation) is a a recent, artificial innovation.

> manipulating and lying to people

Have you ever seen a law? Touched a law? Seen a law? Heard a law? No, and you don't know anyone who has? Yet laws are real, they can send you to jail. Laws, like nations, are social constructs; they exist as long as society collectively believes in them.

Almost all modern countries are nationalistic to a significant degree.

Of course, buy that doesn't mean you automatically hate the 'them' and want to genocide them. My neighbors across the street are a 'them' relative to my family, I don't want to murder my neighbors.

Show HN: Extension to turn Chrome into an async voice communication suite
VoiceLine has built a chrome extension that allows you to record, share, and play voice notes within any browser-based application. We’re using an STT model to transcribe your notes into what we call a VoiceLine, a hybrid audio-text snippet, to address the problems of conventional voice messaging.

Since we’ve been in closed beta as a seed-stage startup, here’s a direct link to get access:

https://app.getvoiceline.com/6b29fbc80d

Our vision is to introduce a new category of professional voice communication by building our service as a layer, not yet another instant messenger like Slack or MS teams. Since the majority of collaboration happens in the browser, our first MVP has been built for google chrome. We envision this to work in collaboration tools like Jira, GitHub, G Suite, Notion, … you name it.

For us, feedback right now is most valuable: Where would you like to use this? What kind of features do you miss or would you expect? How would you build the Chrome Extension going forward?
How is it uninformed?

NPR's science reporting has been abysmal for the past few years. Maybe they don't have the click-bait problem (debatable), but they routinely report everything one side of the political spectrum says as scientific fact. They also fall victim to the "experts say..." and "scientific consensus is..." tropes. Their "scientific expert" source list looks suspiciously like a group of the loudest voices on Twitter.

I say this as someone on that side of the political spectrum.

I don't know if it's possible yet, but the technology behind (guided diffusion), allows it. But you will probably have to train it with a dataset that shows multiple associated images together.

Denoising diffusions have been successfully applied to produce coherent videos.

In fact, there are even some benefits to train on video because images share information between them, which make context extraction easier.

Counterintuitively, because of the shared information between frames, their computations can also be partially shared, it can be almost free to generate multiple frames at the same time : A pair of RGB image can be considered as a 6D image, a 5-frame sequence a 15D image, and the neural network can learn to compress the various image channel together. The subsequent neural network layers can be kept 256D (for example) the same size as they were for a single frame.

Of course this trick won't work if the pair of image are too different but you can always stack images side by side to have a bigger film-roll image and you use a standard attention mechanism to attend to various parts.

You mean the lardass emoji? Joking aside I guess it makes sense that any modifier should be combinable with the bases. Technically at least, it makes sense. On the other hand there has to be some semantic meaning to it, which "pregnant man" doesn't have. I can't make a "pregnant flag" or a "male waving hand".

Edit: zach_garwood yes but only one gender. There is no more semantic meaning to "pregnant man" then "male flag".
Well, they are fairly transparent.

The problem is, they have a tendency to suddenly get horribly intransparent when they grow larger than maybe a few dozen lines.
If you don’t pay for something and that something is written by a volunteer and shared for free then sit down and shut up and wait for that volunteer to maybe get to your feature request. One can always propose a PR implementing that feature. Or wait.

Even more egregious is if you’re a company making money on this free software and yelling about a missing feature and not willing to sponsor its development then you’re even further behind in the line.

You put a lot of faith in regulations. Take lottery for instance. It's almost entirely controlled by states in the US and they prey on the most vulnerable. They even have state gambling apps now so there's virtually no restriction when and how much you play.

I don't know how much sports gambling is regulated but I doubt its meaningful. Gambling is dangerous because a certain personality cannot control themselves. What can regulation do? Put a little warning? Make sure the house advantage is no more than X? That's not what makes gambling dangerous.

Drugs are same story. Heavily regulated to their detriment. At least with illegal drugs you know it's dangerous and could be abused. But when a doctor prescribes you heavy pain killers for a simple injury, it's not obvious how dangerous they are.
In terms of engineering well, it's really more about doing the right thing at any cost than the wrong thing at optimal efficiency. In some sense we could say that rapid evolution of solutions is therefore focused on the right problem, much more so than navel-gazing on millisecond timers or big O estimates.

Well, in an ideal world. In the actual world, we're using really inefficient software to direct someone to your driveway with a tank of gas because you didn't feel like stopping at a gas station. But I still feel like I had a point in there somewhere.

> the teachers left for something less stressful rather than higher paying.

My statistical assumption would be that this is because you can't just switch professions and stay at the level that you were at before. You can't go from being a teacher with 10 years of experience to being an accountant with 10 years of experience in 1 year. They're leaving to start over again. Of course the jobs pay less (or the same because teachers are underpaid); if they were also equally stressful, there'd have been no reason to leave teaching.

> This research gives evidence that rival college competition is fun to male college students

That’s not accurate. The research is based a-priori on knowing that competition is fun, and is asking the question “which specific parts of the brain are making it fun?”

The abstract concludes:

“Both before and after outgroup exclusion, aggression towards outgroup members was positively associated with activity in the ventral striatum during decisions about how aggressive to be towards their outgroup opponent. Aggression towards outgroup members was also linked to greater post-exclusion activity in the rostral and dorsal medial prefrontal cortexduring provocation from their outgroup opponent. These altered patterns of brain activity suggest that frontostriatal mechanisms may play a significant role in motivating aggression towards outgroup members.”

If you have kids, not paying for childcare can save you tens of thousands of dollars per year.

Or perhaps you now have the option of moving to a cheaper city, or further from your former workplace. That could easily be a double-digit percentage savings from your budget.

EDIT: And, uh...there are tons of service jobs in my city. Haven't you heard the endless whining from business owners that "nobody wants to work anymore"? They're struggling to fill openings.

As a father of homeschooling children who was homeschooled myself, it's sort of surreal to read about a system I've never benefited from as if it's a totally vital thing whose collapse would be disastrous.

I realize my perspective is probably warped by never having sat in a public school classroom, but from where I sit, it seems like the main thing the public school system really does from an economic perspective is provide childcare so both parents can work.

I had to be taught how to read, and the basics of mathematics, but from that point on I mostly taught myself and asked my parents (or siblings) for occasional help with things I got stuck on. Make no mistake, they put tons of time and effort into teaching us, but it wasn't anything close to eight hours a day per kid, especially by the time I reached high school.

I wonder if a high school system where teachers were more like room monitors / advisors might work better.

We admit that they're mostly there to keep teens out of trouble, and relieve them of the crippling responsibility for educating thirty humans every year.

Instead, they give advice and help to the students who ask for it, manage fights and interpersonal conflicts, and at the end of the year give each student up to a day to convince them they actually learned the material. So May's finals month, I guess.

That, I think, puts responsibility for the education where it belongs - in the student's hands.

It might even allow for a more distributed approach that works - if a student's parents trust the student to not be in class every day, they can give the teacher (mentor might be a better title) the schedule they approve, and the student can do their work where and when they like.

Decreasing student density would decrease the damage a shooter can do, presumably also decreasing desirability as a target. That's a debatable fringe benefit, though, not the main point.

...I guess I'm describing something closer to the college model, but with a bit more parental oversight than college usually involves.

I do think that puberty is the time to start having kids take ownership of their own lives, education included.

It may be my outsider perspective being completely wrong about what happens in a public school, but it seems to me the current US system really doesn't do that.
Focusing on the little unpleasantnesses distracts from seeing a bigger picture. The net software experience hasnt changed or improved much. There's a lot of fine tuning & apps getting tweaked, but the platform of computing- to users- has been locked at the same fixed boring low-power level for well over a decade. If you want to be disenchanted, do it from a macro perspective.
Your 2nd hand experience of teaching from an educator 20 years ago is very different from the current reality. School districts have taken on more task and passed the responsibility of executing them to the frontline workers (teachers).

To save money they technically get laid off every summer and rehired in the fall. They do this because the schoolboard budget can be changed at any moment. If they need to layoff a lot of teachers the formal paperwork is already done. You can imagine this can be extremely stressful, especially for new teachers.

That is supplies bought to use for you by you. It would be different if you bought supplies for someone else.

This argument is literally “the documentation for this domain I don’t understand is bad because I refuse to learn the domain”.

I use the lens library all the time and those docs make perfect sense, particularly if you apply just the teensiest bit of logic and thing “Could a setter, perhaps, set something?”. It’s a DSL, and you don’t understand the domain - I’m sure you’d have a great time explaining this function from LLVM without referring to any other part of the documentation to give it context https://llvm.org/doxygen/group__LLVMCCoreValueInstructionGet.... What’s a GEP? Under the rules you’re applying to the lens documentation, I’m not allowed to look that up, because it should be immediately obvious.

Nope, I don't buy it. There are rules to what emoji you can and can't combine. I can't combine "White Flag" + "Dark Skin Tone" to get "Dark Skin Tone Flag", even though that would sort of make sense. I can't combine "Fire Hydrant" + "Male Gender" because that makes absolutely no sense. Emojis are a limited system where we have made explicit decisions to allow some things and not other things.

Even though 99% of the world operates under a definition where men do not have uteruses and cannot get pregnant, the committee has decided to allow that.
The question is, given a sum of money and a goal to further the education of the people, what is the best way of spending that money.
