You have confused nomenclature for category. Thus begging the question.

> Right; this is what I'm getting at. substr(str, A, B) is a low level function: a servant. A and B have a meaning somewhere, but not to this routine.

For the purpose you're talking about the code point index is completely irrelevant, and so the byte index works fine here.
Windows 95 didn’t use the HLT instruction because it didn’t work reliably on many PCs back in the day. It would sometimes freeze instead of just halt.

There was a post on the oldnewthing blog about this but I can’t immediately find it.

Yes one of his mistake is to use the same username everywhere. He just needs a few links and he's burned.

It's better to use a username you copied from someone else also, like that if people find links, they find someone else entirely.
As a member of Gen-X, I get nothing out of retro Windows machines. And though I was an expert on IRQ, config.sys, etc back in the day I would not want to return to those bad old days.

Give me an old Commodore though and that’s a good time!
> Well, you can't simultaneously tear down silos and continue to have two silos... I would hope that would be obvious? The new cross-functional team is made up of the Dev people who are now doing Ops and the Ops people who are now doing Dev, with everyone else no longer fitting into the new DevOps reality,

There's a project I'm tangentially involved in, that has app tiers written in different languages where the devs in either tier don't actually know the language of the other tier. They're still on the same team; they talk at the morning meeting, they work together to get things done, they have the same overall set of goals.

Despite not doing eachother's work (or even being able to), they're not in silos. There's no throwing stuff over the wall.
Madjestic Kasual (not to be confused with the much more popular channel which this is a parody of) is a really interesting YouTube channel that does just that; the curator seems to spend a lot of time seeking out independent music of a particular aesthetic and sharing it and has mustered at least some audience. I'd like to collect more channels/aggregations/internet magazines like this

> not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

Wow, this ironically sounds exactly like the people spouting off about needing to "fight intolerance" in the past couple years.
You're not the first one to point out that Southern California is a desert, and has to import water from elsewhere just to exist, e.g. "Chinatown."

However, the weather is way better than Vegas, and I'm not just talking about summer. A cold ocean has its advantages.
Opinions about movies aren't indisputable truths.

There are things that are general truths though. Opinions held by such a high majority of people that such opinions are very close to the truth in the sense that often people talk about such opinions without using "speculative" adjectives.

I would say the things that I talk about in my post belong to those "general truths." I would also say fans of Blade Runner don't belong to the majority crowd. Their opinions are well outside mainstream and they <often> view that sort of opinion as superior. I personally view that sort of opinion as "alternative" and I despise people who view it as "superior."

Not saying you are such a person, nor many of the people on HN. But you have to admit; such a crowd does exist.
Maybe PayPal subsidizes some users to make it "free" in exchange for gaining control of their finances. They're notorious for stealing users' entire account balances and justifying it with unsubstantiated accusations of fraud, so gaining control of more users' finances is very profitable for them.
Bigger the instance the faster is it.
I think I agree with this; the usual clichés about regret place a sort of bias towards how one feels at the end of one's life, but just because it's the last opinion doesn't necessarily mean it should win.
It parses a little ambiguous or odd to me but not wrong. It's the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation, one of many First Nations in Canada. The analogous word you might be reaching for would probably be tribe or band, and neither "a tribe" or "a band" read weird to me at all.

Within the Canadian legal framework, the treaties between Canada and its indigenous population are at least theoretically between distinct "nations".
I believe this is something that automated code parsing (a la Github Copilot) could really shine. Those tools are able to explain what a block of code does, so it should be possible to catch many types of malware hidden in source code.

The article doesn't mention that there are technical reasons why Japan are slow to update: language support. Not in the browser, but in the technologies the organizations use for their websites. Companies put a lot of work into making late 90s/early 2000s technologies work acceptably for the complexities of Japanese language writing. Even newer technologies still lack important capabilities.[1]

This is sort of the y2k problem, but for language.

I'd say it depends on your "demand" to change lifestyle, from 0% to 100%, then the max bet should be: demand * min($500M, fun_money). Of course, the hard part is figuring out one's personal demand for change.
I’m not, no. Musicbrainz is amazing and I’ve known them for a long time but it doesn’t address this problem - which is to do with authoritative first party metadata that define rights ownership.

> Most of the water actually flows under the stones and isn’t exposed directly to the sun in order to reduce evaporation.

Can somebody confirm this? it's not obvious to me that since the surface would be the same, that everything equal (average temperature of the water probably not?), the evaporation would be the less in this case vs normal stream.
Just use the cloud, honestly. "No, but there is this weird thing we do, and need custom yada yada", no just stop, conform to the cloud, stop being a snowflake. "Its so expensive!". No, its still cheaper than on prim and paying dedicated teams to manage it. Just use the cloud in a sane way. Teach your devs with the infinite guides and docs freely available online. Your life will be easier. If your devs aren't interested in your infrastructure, they are bad devs.
I take it these are fields where precious metals are sought, as opposed to potatoes. I suppose you don't grow potatoes in frozen ground, but that was my first reading of this.
This is a most weird.. but a completely on point solution for someone who seeks for a way to have a bread on the table.

I've seen enough people in my life whose education and experience doesn't compute with what they are doing in their life. Thing is - they are a way happier, compared to what they did in the previous life. Sure, you can't just abandond everything and be happy, but this is the wzy how someone finds their happines.

Don't forget, most of sysadmins dreams of [electric] sheep farm.

I hope kids today have a much more interesting future 40 years from now.

I am sure that they will live in interesting time but I doubt that it is a blessing.
M series is an unmitigated win. M1 Macs can chew through compiles at rates comparable to my Ryzen desktop, while consuming very little power and not even heating up enough to make the fans spin.

Apple is two or three CPU generations ahead of the rest of the industry. It's an objective fact that the most performant personal computing equipment in the world is made by Apple, and its power consumption is such that Apple laptops beat PC laptops on battery life by a factpr of 1.5-2 or more.
I find this trend against "power users" increasingly more common in almost all software as companies have the incentive to just design for users more susceptible to the default, nudged experience. I understand the downsides of "let the user customize everything" designs but it definitely feels like more and more of a shift in that direction in the last few years.
The quote that resonated the most with me here went something like:
Life is a series of bricks, placed day by day, to build the foundation of life.

I’d take it one step further and say life also has compounding returns. What you invest today yields returns tomorrow. Not all hobbies yield the same returns.

Gaming as a hobby offers a flat return. The time you put in is the time you get out. There is no progress outside the bounds of the game (except for some fuzzier returns about societal commentaries and personal growth on par with the returns on a fantasy novel - or the future returns of making a game yourself).

The returns of a hobby like glass blowing is the improved ability to create on the other side of engaging in the hobby. Every piece you make sets the stage for the next piece. It’s a compounding return where the investment you make today is part of the return you get out of tomorrow’s investment.

I still play games, watch TV, and read fiction. But I no longer engage with them the way I used to. Now I engage with hobbies that yield compounding returns because tomorrow’s happiness is just as important as today’s.
The 13" M1 MBP with touchbar didn't make a lot of sense then, now the M2 version even less so, I don't know why anyone would consider this model.

The M2 Pro/Max will be released later, nothing surprising here.

I’m glad you think most people would agree with me, but your follow up example seems a bit unfortunate.

You might not believe that language affects thought or behaviour, but saying so directly might arguably be a better way of making your point than singling out others who disagree with you.
The Hans Zimmer soundtrack to Blade Runner 2049 is quite good. It plays homage to the original, but is definitely its own creation.
That doesn’t tell me anything when Amazon provided no guarantee that the item I’m ordering is from that vendor. I’ve been burned many times with cheap fakes. It’s clear Amazon does nothing to ensure I’m getting the original product. As long as the upc matches, they’ll ship it.
When it comes to big providers like them you can assume that all numbers are either used by other people already or blocked.

If you just don't want to give out your number you could get a second one? Nowadays with eSim it should be easy to get a "pay as you go" number and only ever receive sms.
Blade Runner is best viewed on the biggest screen you can get. First time I watched it was on VHS on a small CRT and I didn’t get it. Now, on the living room big screen, it’s immersive and sublime. A theatrical environment makes all the difference.

Same thing happened to me with Ghost in the Shell. I didn’t appreciate it until I saw it on a big screen.
Nice to see some local photos. I bought my ebike at Las Vegas Cyclery.

It turns out that Vegas is getting a lot better with regard to water usage. Despite a big increase in population and new houses, usage has been trending down.

I think most of the drain from Lake Mead is coming from California, which has been moving in the opposite direction. Also, Denver has been diverting more and more runoff from the Rockies to the East instead of West.

No, every project needs to be completely homogeneous. All members should be interested in creating the best piece of software they can. Anyone who doesn't agree with this goal should be removed from the project.

So to summarize: you despise fans of the original Blade Runner because they so often view their own opinions as superior. And you see no irony in this. Got it.
Substitute racial / identity references in place of proletariat/ bourgeoisie in Marx's ideas, and you have modern academia and left-of-left wing American politics in a nutshell. It's by design.
Not a meme stock investor.

The penalties are pathetic in most cases. If I fail to deliver $100M in treasuries I'm paying maybe 5K a day.

Folks are playing games under the hood with this. Stock price crashing on some shares you sold? Buy them late and settle late. I'd be curious what happened with FTD on things like bear sterns imploding.

I like how folks keep on assuring us that selling something you don't own is a non-issue :) That's a tell right there on where the morals of wall street are - in the toilet.

We are in 2022. We still have T+2 settlement (in part so folks can shuffle stuff on the backend). T+1 should be an obvious no brainer requirement. And frankly I'd go for gross real time personally - and nuke these firms out of the water including their financing and margin revenues.
The mechanism of gene expression means the presence of certain genes may cause an individual to be more or less susceptible to certain stimuli.

So yes, the presence or absence of genes alone may not determine much, but together taking account to one's environment and upbringing, may have explanatory power.

It's similar to medical diagnoses where the presence of X genes mean someone is Y% more likely to exhibit Z condition.
An arbitrary barrier to entry raises the bar. If you charged everyone who wanted to make music $1000 before they could get started, you'd get higher quality music on average just because you'd filter out most of the people who are less serious about it. I'm not convinced it's a good thing though.
There's something about your line of commenting that just strikes me as dishonest and to be completely honest, kind of gross. I can't quite put my finger on why I feel that way about it though. Maybe the air of superiority that comes though, like you're talking down - 'so entitled, I however would never feel such a thing'. I dunno. Just thought I would say my thoughts out loud, take it as you will.
John McPhee wrote a fine book on the effort to commercialize lighter than air heavy transport: The Deltoid Pumpkin Seed.

I was watching a BBC episode on Africa's geography and its lack of navigable rivers or good harbors, and how that has held back economic development. These airships came to mind as a cheap way to access that continent.
I can't speak to what websites are good for this. AFAIK most of the websites are scams, to Geonode's point.

It's ambiguous in the film and far more interesting if he's not, as it becomes an interrogation of what makes us human, and forces us to accept our imperfection and that of our fellow man.

Well, besides that you know, the obvious implications for the rights of intelligent beings, natural or not, but since we won't have strong AI for a while and it wasn't about animal rights no matter how much you stretch it, we're left with questions about our own nature and how we relate to other humans.
First thing that comes to mind is I regret reading my literature assignments.
>TL;DR: Lay off virtual sugar, digitally detox, open the mind…

Probably hit a nerve here as I think you're one of THOSE elite-st people.

You missed the point. I understand the elitist crowd and where they come from and why they like what they like.

What I am saying is that they are too dismissive of mainstream opinions. There is no logical rule that says just because something is mainstream it sucks and just because something is not mainstream it's great.

>> Bladerunner is so boring that it wasn't copied too much. But the other sci-fi stuff get copied to hell
>This line suddenly makes me wonder if you were just messing with us. Hmm.

The contemplative tone in bladerunner is rarely copied, because the pacing is so slow. If you're talking about superficial aesthetics like the setting. Well I didn't realize you were so mainstream and that razzle & dazzle special effects mattered so much to you. Go watch the MCU for that sort of stuff. Yes those things have been copied to hell, but superficial aesthetics should be the least important thing according to your group think, no?

> - hang out with geeks

I'm the geek of geeks. I'm one level and one dimension above you. You can't comprehend the way I think because you haven't nerded out enough. I actually have a zero sugar diet. Z.E.R.O. Once you hit that level of discipline you reach enlightenment. I don't hang out with geeks, I'm what the geek worships and aspires to be.
The interesting thing is that the microcontroller in the Nano - Atmega328P - is really a massive overkill but for a wholy different reason: price.

Even back in 2015 the AVR based Atmega328P was more expensive than quite a few Cortex M0 based STM32 offerings (when comparing price for same quantities of course). And those MCUs had literaly by an order of magnitude bigger SRAM and the ARM core and STM32 peripheries vere obscenly more capable and I cannot stress this enough.
Now the difference is even bigger and AVR based MCU are expensive almost-unobtanium for legacy designs.

Calling AVR MCUs cheap is my trigger since 2015 when I and my collegues were browsing Farnell eshop looking for a cheap MCUs for various gizmos we were working on.

ICR basically doesn't work the way you would expect it too. Every time you add a line, it re-runs all previous lines, making it quite hard to do REPL-like stuff when some of those lines do something external like DB commands, especially if they are destructive.

AMA with Professor Steve Brusatte on mammalian evolution
I'm running an AMA with Professor Steve Brusatte (Paleontology, Edinburgh Uni) on his new book the Rise and Reign of the Mammals.

The AMA is on Quda, an audio app I've built for knowledge-sharing.

The Q&As are in audio and asynchronous, so you record a question and Steve answers in his own time.

If you have a question for Steve on any aspect of mammalian evolution or paleontology in general, please ask before Tuesday:

I have noticed that when I spend a lot of time reading dystopian fiction, the sense of despair from that dystopia creeps into how I react to real-life. Not all fiction seems to work like that for me, but that style in particular leaves me looking up and going "Whoa," as I readjust to reality. So I do get where the author is coming from here; I think if you spend a significant part of your life in any constructed universe (whether that's Gilligan's Island, Fallout, or Harry Potter), you're inevitably going to start adapting to that universe at least a little bit.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted; this album and the Kuedo alias in general wears the Blade Runner inspirations on the sleeve.

I don't think we agree. You say:

"It just simply wasn’t his/their job to police companies morally. It’s a bittersweet conundrum - I agree with him wholeheartedly"

And pawn off responsibility to consumers under the current system. I don't absolve people that say "it's not my job, I just follow the $." They still have a moral duty to help their fellow humans and not just chase the bottom line.
