I’m going to guess since your native country is English speaking, and I’m going to guess you grew up in said English speaking country. If these are the cases, then of course you can’t see why it would matter.

When you come from immigrant families like mine, these things matter more.

But also how is the name of a place any different? If Turkey was a person and asked you to call them Turkiye, would you have the same response? According to you, no. They aren’t asking you to call the US Birlesik Devletleri, they’re asking you to call their own country by what they deem is their proper name

Came here to say this. (Actually kd, but lots of overlap.)
In my experience, the number one thing that makes driving harder is other drivers, not the government. Drivers full roads to over-capacity and then I sit in gridlock.
It doesn't fix the software side, but I wonder if projects like this are a reasonable solution to hardware-based trusting trust worries. The real hardware is unlikely to know what it's being used for, and Linux is running in a custom VM that's tiny enough to audit.
Why is the HN title “trashed” when the original article has “swarmed”? Jumping on a car isn’t trashing it.
Software written in C/C++ runs the world. Including the operating systems, VMs, interpreters etc. running (almost) all other languages. It is the bedrock that everything rests on. So learning C is highly relevant. It will take decades (if not forever) for Rust to get even close to achieving that kind of impact.
Granted, I suppose "orangutans in suits" would have made for a more accurately-inaccurate analogy. Though perhaps to drive it home further, if you squint, orangutans are just fuzzier people who don't reproduce uncontrollably and spread environmental disasters so much.
> People miss Trump, even if they hated him.

God no. Not even remotely. Hell the fuck no.

> the news is no longer about the never-ending drama that Trump could generate at will

That’s a huge win for every human being on the planet except for newscasters.

> a geriatric old man whose news headlines make the US look weak

That’s what we had with the previous one, too. Yet we at least get to skip the constant insanity.
erlang/otp gen_fsm maybe?

you define a function with a clause per state (and some other args including the incoming message), and each clause returns a tuple with the new state and some other stuff. the loop is part of the framework, and handles generic otp stuff like updating code in a running system.
> I feel as if there's a racial bush being beaten around here that one may as well go and point out.

Aww, why'd you have to go and point that out? I was having fun beating around that bush...

But more seriously, I would have preferred to hear that from the poster. I specifically avoided putting those words in their mouth, despite being tempted to a few times; and also to avoid getting dragged down into a debate of whatever "white" means.
The page is supposed to read as a joke. That's his schtick. I think his writing is pretty funny.
I almost forgot about the original Priceline. It used to offer up to 75% discounts on premium hotel rooms.. if you were willing to take the risk on getting a midrange room for a 10% discount or 20 minute walk from a metro station. The gambling component was fun and you could avoid those risks easily using VPNs. That experience is diluted and now is much less than the value of booking direct and membership points for me.

Booking.com is still good though. I always use it for my first search for accommodation, then reserve using booking.com, or direct with a hotel depending on which one has the best cancellation/change policy. That is still so important due to COVID and frequent flight cancellations.
Actually I would say the effect mimics a "cross filter" / "star filter" special effect.

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't line up. 80s guidance probably assumed mass nuclear war, while this document focuses on nukes that might be used by terrorists or "rogue states" aka North Korea or in the future Iran. In the former case there'd be massive nukes going off everywhere so dispersion would be emphasized, but in the latter case it's more likely to only have one nuke so rapid concentration and organization is more important
This is probably another spike through the heart for SGX, at any rate. If you could use this to leak the attestation keys, SGX is useless for secure execution of code on a hostile system.
Lambda and these language models are not currently capable maintaining an internal train of thought that isn't expressed as token context. It has no memory of the world other than what we tell it to have. It can only "think" as long as it takes to infer a token.

I think these big language models might get closer to something we would all call sentience once they can refer directly to their weights' previous activations for context instead of just tokens.
In Hebrew culture, it is considered important to remove part of the genitals of an infant boy in a long and bloody ceremony. Personally I'd never subjugate myself or my kin to it, but I know plenty of Jewish people and have never tried to debate them about it.

If a Simbari person wanted to have an earnest discussion about whether the practice you're describing was acceptable, I'd of course tell them that I think it's barbaric and insane. But if you're asking whether I'd seek out Simbari people out to tell them I feel that way? No, I would not. So my heuristic holds true, but I do appreciate the gotcha :)
Ads will eventually make TikTok shit to use, too.
That's why subsidies bad and subsidies good are a false dilemma. "Spending money well" might seem like an obvious solution but it runs up against the problem of corrupt politicians, of which there are many. Hence, we have (worldwide) politicians handing out money to places they are (probably) needed (in your example, the agriculture subsidies) and places they are not (Walmart and similar McJobs), and it's possible that the latter receive more than the former.

It's also possible that it's impossible to get subsidies spent in a way that isn't rife with such corruption. I would say that the only way it may be possible is small government. Not because subsidies are bad, but the only way to watch government closely enough to keep corruption low is to make it small enough to watch in entirety.

Like a computer program, if it has less lines and less features, or less overall complexity, it should be easier to spot bugs and egregious mistakes. That's not the same as not wanting features at all. Or, it can become a political version of Zawinski's law where people want more from government and the resulting size and complexity is such that a group of corrupt developers can spread their corruption across so many branches and parts of the project that no one can watch it all (after all, isn't that how the 3 letter agencies undermine security software?)
Beats me. Changed now.
I always thought creating your own rolling distro with Gentoo was precisely the best case use of portage, but I’ve never seen anyone do it. I must be missing something.
I was one of the neighbors. I actually loved this event. The first time I walked by was right around the George Floyd protests and it was refreshing to see the police working with the local community (blocking off the street). So kids (and some adults) could safely use the space in a unique way.
Given no graphics output and all I/O is via serial port... not directly. You could try SLiRP to get proper TCP/IP and use that to connect to an X server somewhere else, and ... I suppose I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work, actually. No promises about it fitting (you're not exactly drowning in free storage or RAM here), it'd be hilariously slow (like, I'd bet below 1 frame per second), but... maybe?
To me, disrespecting you is any behaviour which _I_ find disrespectful. If I was mistaken, I'd apologize. I can't control how you feel, burrows, I can only control what I say.
The page is extremely obviously full of satire.
Oof, these poor kids. I can't imagine what's going to happen to them financially, but I feel like doing a lot of property damage to a vehicle that's bristling with high resolution cameras, in the age of easy facial recognition, is going to have consequences. Maybe they're just so privileged that their default expectation is that their parents will bail them out of anything, and maybe they're right.
AFAIKT Google's recruitment for SWE and SRE (system engineer ladder) are separate. If you did not pass the SWE interview, ask the recruiter if you can do an SRE interview. Hope this helps!

Source: I went the process of failing the SWE interview but got an offer as an SRE.
At some point, apple added document scanning to the notes app.

It recognizes the document, finds the edges and makes a .pdf file.

It actually kind of sucks compared to the other apps, and notes will upload to the cloud if you don't prevent it, but it can be local and not china.
That’s definitely worse.
The readme is there to tell people what the project is about, why they should use it, and the basics of doing so—yes, absolutely. How are you going to get anybody to use your project or contribute to it if you can’t (or don’t) even make it clear why they should care?
nope. you are most certainly not the only one. the constant 24/7 hysteria around covid-19 has completely burnt me out on the news. It felt like everywhere I went I couldn't escape it and it nearly broke me mentally.

Tuning out and away from the news was the best thing I could have done for myself.
Most of these languages are functional-ish, meaning they have some capabilities derived from purely functional languages, but they don't have all of the features or power.
Underrated post, great article! Really makes me want to spend a weekend tinkering with math visualizations :)

Redis is extremely easy (single binary), though that might not be super compelling if you can run containers. RabbitMQ is good too and has additional features like automatic requeueing if the client stops before acknowledging (and more complex routing rules etc). Both have clients in many languages.
A lot of people feel the need to force others to do what they think is right. Regardless of consequences

Maybe make it an unshielded USB-A connector and don't implement pins 2 and 3, so there's only the 5v and ground pins.
SGX is already dead on consumer chips, but I don't think this has any impact on SGX. SGX keys aren't stored in kernel memory so being able to leak data from kernel memory isn't going to leak the keys. Of course there are other attacks that can get SGX keys or 'protected data'
The only thing that has topped my lifelong addiction to V8s and their noise, smell, and hearing damage, is I once managed to get a ride in the back of a P-51 Mustang. For those that don't know, that has a V12 that generates an astonishing amount of power. That was the ride of a lifetime. The machine just leaped into the air when the throttle was opened wide. (Of course it wasn't weighed down with ammunition, bombs, and tip tanks. Just my fat ass.)

And so I envy Tom Cruise, who is rich enough to have his very own P-51, and writes it off as a business expense :-/
not 100% sure.. my guess is that they depended upon tourism and it was severely impacted by the pandemic.

For Sri Lanka, the right thing to have been done (in hindsight) is to keep the country open for tourism and disregard covid impact. Kind of like Texas/Florida.

They had to choose between the lesser of the two evils. This is a hard decision to make.
What, just based off of the custom-ness of the device? I think the endgame of this type of security-by-obscurity is like a randomized FPGA computer trying to fool a hypervisor in the same chip.

I've been reading a lot of Soviet history lately and it provides a source of a huge number of similar agricultural disasters. Both Russian and Chinese attitudes towards agricultural peasants has been that they are dispensable humans, and it shows in how these countries have had disasters:

* collectivitzation leading to the Holodomor in Ukraine, mass famine in Kazakhstan, and hunger throughout the USSR, killing millions upon millions through starvation. All the act of a single, paranoid, murderous tyrant.

* Kruschev's love affair with corn, that ended up being a crop failure after a few lucky years in smaller trials. This is actually the more level-headed play than Stalin's, but such a large shift, even with a trial, was a gigantic failure.

Lately I've been completely enamored with the book How Asia Works lately, and in detailing the success and failure of many different Asian nations development in the 20th century, it homes in on agricultural independence as a corner stone for further economic development to industrialization. Without a broad base of independent small farmers, that have small farms that they can directly profit from, a large base of a middle class can never develop. Large industrial farms, favored both by capitalists and Marxists concentrate power into too few hands and are also far less productive in total agricultural output, even if they they are more profitable. It doesn't talk much about Sri Lanka, focusing more on north east Asia, but I would be quite curious about how and if Sri Lanka's land reforms from the 70s were effective.
I doubt the OP is joking. I left the Bay exactly for reasons like this, I don't want to become collateral damage due to factors outside of my control that are well documented and happening way too often for my liking.

Even a few years later, it still surprises me that people in the Bay normalize this type of activity but I guess Stockholm syndrome is strong in the average person.
For advertising companies, yes...rates went up a huge amount last year, earlier this year I started hearing about companies moving ad spend to TV, flyers, anything but online because the ROI is so poor (and a lot of consumer-facing companies are facing a slowdown in demand after the boom last year left them with too much inventory now, this will impact advertising too).

For companies connected to these trends or the capital cycle, yes...it is going to be bad, most companies that failed to IPO won't survive, a lot of the late stage flippers have already lost everything (they just aren't marking down yet).

But this is a small part of tech, and a small part of the world. US tech had the fun on the way up...well, this is the next part. But the general economics of demand for tech are still good. The problem with large tech companies is that they took profitable businesses and then started hiring like mad and setting fire to cash (this isn't only unprofitable companies, Google is a tech company with a bureaucracy attached, the way that company is run is just comical). Tomorrow has come.
I imagine it took the author much longer to write, revise, etc. the work than it did to write this measurement blog. Where are you getting the notion the author prioritizes measuring their writing time investment vs the writing itself?

It’s okay to just not like a story you know.
Thanks. I didn't flag it because it was the only comment arguing the law and order angle.
1. It can be pointed at any direction, just not at any time. It actually can't look directly away from the sun either, just to the sides. See https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-observatory-characteristics...

2. Basically any satellite in use today uses spinning masses which it can speed up or down to change the direction it's looking. Angular momentum is conserved, but direction pointing isn't. Eventually due to uneven forces (eg, from the sun), these reaction wheels become "saturated" and some propellant is used slow the wheels down. Current estimates put the fuel running out in more than a decade.

3. It's an orbit in L2, past the Earth from the Sun's view. This orbit is unstable, and some of the fuel will also be used to maintain this orbit.

4. There is no refilling mechanism built in. It's likely once the propellant is out the mission will be done. There is the possibility of another spacecraft grabbing onto James Webb and pushing it for station keeping, but it wouldn't be able to refill it. One major innovation with the James Webb though is that it's refrigerator is closed loop, as otherwise running out of coolant would be the mission limiting factor.
That's fine, but please don't feed it by replying. Internet fulmination about life imprisonment is not curious conversation.
> everything made by Plantronics

That pretty much illustrates the problem. If it's compatible with Plantronics, great, but is the Plantronics implementation compatible with the standard.

We all know how fun it is to interop with any standard that Microsoft, for example, has adopted. One vendor's work may be a letter- and intent-perfect implementation of the standard as written, but if it doesn't interop with Microsoft (or whoever the dominant vendor is) then nobody will buy it.
This is why I read hacker news.

I would have never conceived of such a project.
Great Britain is the largest island in the British Isles. There are quite a few[1] smaller ones. Great Britain contains parts of England, Scotland, and Wales. The isle of Ireland is the second largest (and second most populous) and contains parts of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) contains the countries England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The British Isles also contain the Isle of Man, Gurnsey, and Jersey which are not part of any of the countries in the UK, but are instead Crown Dependencies[2]. Those are neither sovereign states nor members of the UK.

>The narrative that he was doing it because of the bots was created in the last two weeks.

From page 3:

>One of the chief reasons Musk cited on March 31, 2022 for wanting to buy Twitter was to rid it of the “[c]rypto spam” he viewed as a “major blight on the user experience.”

From his TED talk in Vancouver on April 14:

>"A top priority I would have is eliminating the spam and scam bots and the bot armies that are on Twitter," Musk said during the event. "They make the product much worse. If I had a Dogecoin for every crypto scam I saw, we’d have 100 billion Dogecoin."

From his twitter on April 21:

>If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!

Also from page 3:

>In his press release announcing the deal on April 25, 2022, Musk raised a clarion call to “defeat the spam bots.”

What an inane comparison. Jobs are voluntary, and you're free to quit over the dress code.

And there's no way to decide what's "permitted" use of a piece of apparel anyways. Cultural significance changes within cultures, and individuals within it are not uniformly sensitive to informal use. What would you do to iconoclasts? They're culturally appropriating too. Are they allowed to introduce lighthearted use?

The "cultural appropriation" idea is the worst form of ultra-conservative hand wringing dressed up in progressive language. No actual harm is done by "misusing" clothes. This is just an excuse made up by moral busy bodies to go on yet another obnoxious crusade.
You mean how it went from "you must play by the rules and contract with the board" to "you must follow the letter of the contract with the board"?
No doubt, but I do challenge the assumption that you need 'everything'. I get by pretty well with about 20 apps and DEs tend to just keep adding more and more.
Initially, Amazon benefitted from lower cost of capital. Because of tax holiday and persuading Wall St to prefer (long term) growth over (short term) profitability.

Now, AWS prints money, fueling Amazon's entry into new markets.
The fact that after all these years that page only lists AdWords, is not encouraging.

I too write Dart (not Flutter), but let's not kid ourselves, Dart is not extensively used anywhere, even within Google.
Perhaps a dumb question: why does every little country need its own currency? Are they all just addicted to printing money?

Ignoring the volatility and environmental concerns, why shouldn’t all these small to medium-sized countries standardize on a cryptocurrency?

How does this submission's title relate to the linked website?
I am! That specific scenario is complicated, because churches that display a gay flag never do so to the exclusion of prayer and loving Jesus and all the normal parts of the religion, and quite a few of them will tell you that they're flying it precisely because they love Jesus. With groups like the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, I think conservative Christians have every right to be unhappy and I wish people wouldn't appropriate Christianity in that way.
Amazon does this in a horrible way.

1) I open a product in a tab. I click "add to cart" and a "related products" sidebar slides in. I close the tab in annoyance.

However, some items exhibit a similar pattern, EXCEPT...

2) I open a product in a tab. I click "add to cart" and a stupid extended warranty sidebar slides in. I close the tab in annoyance.

The difference?

Item #1 gets added to my cart

Item #2 doesn't make it to the shopping cart.

Amazon just silently deleted my purchase.

I actually don't know when it dawned on me that this happened, but amazon lost money on me because I didn't buy certain things.
It sounds like skater speech, or surfer speech, or what I imagine it to be anyhow. This story is pretty delightful just for capturing that this subculture still remains strong, all of these decades after. The kids are outdoors and getting into comic mischief.
This is not really true. You can pop up surveys in the app or on the site. They can be super non-intrusive. For small effects and large user bases, you simply cannot get useful information from UX studies.
