Microsoft sold off the rights to FSX to two parties. Lockheed got the rights to the "professional" version and Dovetail the rights to the "consumer" version. Same starting codebase, Lockheed released Prepar3d and Dovetail the somewhat successful Flight Simulator X Steam Edition and later the unsuccessful Flight Sim World.

I'm sure this is a CYA clause to show they're not stepping on dovetail's license and little else.

This was oddly satisfying and I voted on a bunch of colors. Definitely a bias towards my personal preferences and also what I think would be useable for websites but fun idea! Will be great to see the resulting data.

With respect to the politicians not turning up, it's worth noting that at least some of the candidates for PM are against the Online Safety Bill and want to scrap it. So for them, campaigning to become the next leader may actually be a more useful way to spend time than hearing what they already know.

It appears the OSB has become a victim of incoherent requirements specifications. It's grown enormously during its gestation period and is now trying to do way too much, including things that are self-contradictory. Some politicians recognize this, for example Kemi Badenoch:

A less expensive option then may be to start 301 redirecting your page to your original git repo idea and hope they stick around and they continue to allow free hosting. It might be worth reaching out to them and discussing your plans and get feedback from them. They might have long term plans to cease free hosting and may or may not share this plan. Consider appointing someone to maintain this setup in the event that the repo provider makes significant changes and expects the end-user to adapt.
Agree about SASL. We could actually live without SASL, and I wouldn't recommend attempting to implement it. We use it because it's there, it's supported, and we've figured out the reproducible steps to set it up. It's not pretty and I can't believe it actually works. The codebase for it must be intense.
Unfortunately there is evidence that Putin was deliberately stirring up trouble.

Even more unfortunately, at that level propaganda is beyond my ken to reliability disabuse, and I know full well that hawks want me to fear more than I need to.

Yet it is the locals he's claiming to want to liberate who are shooting his troops, the cities he's saying he wants to save that are being flattened by his missiles.

Reminds me of the stories of Afghanistan, where we blew up weddings and then were surprised the locals didn't like us.

My first couple of jobs from late 90s on were C++ and Java: homogeneous giant code bases with no agile, scrum, code review or anything.

I do just fine with modern code bases and their complexity. I know I also have the experience to understand when the complexity is there for the sake of it and when it’s because of the business domain.

I’ve left projects where the first kind was too high because I’ve seen enough to know I don’t have time for that BS anymore :)
Thanks. The macroeconomic climate is also something I've been curious about, too. The timing may be awful, especially if it doesn't work out and I want to get back to a full-time job when no one is hiring. But being stuck in a role where upward growth is meager is draining, too. ("Oh, the bonus and raise pool is down again?")

I do know that even in my current job there seems to be willingness to pay a contractor rather than hire an employee...and I'm not sure how that willingness would change if the environment changes.
I'm not sure how I could show if something is easier/harder to work with. Speed in this context refers to human processing speed, not database speed.

A full fledged AGI is basically an intern. What would you have an intern do?

We have new people (natural GI?) enter the world all the time. Parenting is a thing, a lot of these AGI related questions seem to be from a weird parallel universe that doesn't acknowledge this, or thinks they (AGI) are supernatural beings.
These are more reasons I stuck with programming. Paper cuts were brutal at times, and I knew enough to avoid the big honkin' transformers in the old mainframes and mini's. Heard the story of the dropped screwdriver welding across the power supply... There's a whole lot of critical stuff in crude aside from what becomes gasoline, it just has to be handled well and every so often it goes boom or piddles all over the surrounding countryside.
Simplicity is something lost in society. Most software complexity stems from that IMO.
basically the « % » symbol in 3% is a fraction notation or it’s a type notation you can overload the add operation like below.

Another reason besides platform support, is bootstrapping and verifiable builds. rustc can only be built by a recent rustc, so it is a pain to bootstrap from source if you don't want to trust a big binary.

Well, to continue operating the three nuclear plants that are currently still operating (not to mention restarting those that have been shut down years ago), they would have to order new fuel rods. Obviously those aren't things you can simply order on Amazon. Usually, these orders have to be planned years in advance, and the chances of reducing the waiting time are pretty slim, because guess who is the largest manufacturer? Right, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosatom.
The thing is, prison has a lot of variances. A life sentence in prison has him in the darkest prison world.

Martin Shkreli was in the easiest parts of prison for example. Ross is in the lifer prison with the hardest criminals.

It's said he's struggling a lot because you have to join the racist white groups in lifer prison, and his morals don't allow that. But you have to, or you have no protection, and may get killed.

The US prison system is a far scarier place than anyone thinks about. You essentially have to stay blind to what happens inside, or you couldn't with good conscious send anyone there.
>most vibrant locations

Presumably you mean interesting urban centers? That's fine for people who live in the city. It's mostly awful for anyone who needs to regularly commute in. I worked in the relatively nearby major city for about 18 months a few days a week. I even had a pretty convenient commuter rail line. But it still involved getting up before 6am and spending about 4 hours a day to commute.

I don't care how nice the office equipment is or how great the food options are but I couldn't have susstained that long-term.
Sure, but this sidetrack were started from the fact that there are many hobbies where people devote hours of craftsmanship and effort into creating something that's not considered nearly as valuable.

So "hours of craftsmanship and effort" is not what makes something valuable. It takes something else -- in this case that it's a status symbol. A long time ago it would have been certain tulips. Now it's watches.
Statistically speaking, it's quite concerning that such a large hit has occurred so soon after launch and thus does not bode well for the predicted lifespan of the telescope.

What else would it be? There's about 67 million people living in the UK, compared to the 447 million in the EU - depends on your definition of "small", but our company will likewise ignore any specific UK regulations. The handful of customers there isn't worth any additional overhead compared to the EU+US.
Seems smart. All too often one wants to start out simple, but later realizes there's this little feature that's missing. This seems to provide perfect backwards compatibility.
I normally shoot in 1080/60 and then transcode to 720/30 when sending things to people. For concerts/events I like to bump up the resolution closer to 1440p, but I rarely have a need to shoot in 4K. Even with microSD cards it doesn't make much sense to shoot.
> anymore than there is a clear winner between tabs and spaces.

But there is a clear winner here. Tabs won, almost all code files use spaces. Of course everyone uses the tab key on their keyboard, and the IDE makes spaces for you; no one is going to manually press space 4 times.

Show HN: Debatable – Reddit with Results
I think it's a great approach and I try something along those lines. However it requires some form of self-persuasion which is hard to get when you are just binge-playing quick games.

I feel doing what you advise + playing slower games (for me usually 10min + increment) + doing puzzles is a great combination. It forces me to calculate more variations than just the most likely candidate move, and to think about positions more. I still tilt in blitz a lot but I tilt much less when I follow my own advise.
It only implements read-only queries and bind, plus password modification. User creation has to go through the web UI or API, and custom schemas are not supported. Any esoteric feature is probably also not implemented.

Well, yeah. What does "obstructing" mean? As an ordinary joe, I would assume it means getting in their way or bothering them or trying to interfere, or even just moving in a way that could be interpreted as threatening. So it's a crowd of people who don't know they're risking charges, because who the hell knows.

But if the rule was "stay back 8 feet".... That's a lot less ambiguous. And also recently publicized. I would expect such a rule to change peoples' behavior.

Forecast your lambda costs as your userbase grows
Totally agree. As an example of how little companies do in these cases to verify things and how lazy they are about ensuring when they pursue claims that they are doing so against the relevant person, here's my story.

Some time ago someone obviously signed a gas contract for a company and just put my home address as the billing address. The first I heard about it was when I received a gas bill for a property that I have absolutely no connection with. It was addressed to a company I have no connnection with at my home address. I've lived in the same house for over 10 years and this company has never been associated with my address in that time. I don't think it was before either but w/e.

I accidentally opened this bill because I receive a lot of mail and didn't realise it was incorrectly addressed. Having seen that it was the wrong thing I wrote to the company explaining their mistake. I also gave them the name and address of the actual officers of the company who had the debt (this is public information in the UK where I live). I didn't hear back except that I received 3 or 4 more bills all of which I returned to sender.

A few months later I received a legal letter from a collections firm saying they had been engaged to collect this debt and I had to pay up or they would take me to court. I wrote to them explaining the situation saying that this debt, company and the property and debt underlying the address was nothing whatsoever to do with me and that I had written to the creditor to that effect some time ago.

I didn't hear back until a few months later, when I received another legal letter from a different person at the same collections firm basically repeating the threat to take me to court. I wrote to them again and also called them up to explain. The person at the collections agency thanked me for calling and said they would deal with the matter.

A few more bills arrived. I returned them to sender (at least once in an envelope with a covering letter explaining the situation again). Then I received a notice saying a default court judgement had been entered and that the bill had to be paid. I wrote to them again and said they had to stop harrassing me and actually pursue the collection against someone associated with the actual company.

It was super clear that at no time did anyone associated with either the original creditor or the collections agency make the slightest effort to actually try to collect this debt from someone who was actually responsible for it. This is in spite of the fact that I spoonfed them the names and addresses of actual people who were associated with the company responsible etc. This situation could also never have occurred if they had actually made any effort at all to check whether the company was associated with the billing address.

If this applies to every site that hosts user generated content then that's nuts. When the internet first started, part of the appeal is that you could just make stuff without people looking over your shoulder, asking for forms, etc. Seems that the internet we created today is technically the same as the one from before, but now with governments throwing up red tape at every corner.

Makes me wonder what a site like HN would have to do in order to stay in compliance. While on the one hand HN could make the argument that the site is not geared towards children so this kind of stuff is not a concern, regulations will say: well TECHNICALLY a child could use HN, and TECHNICALLY a predator could message with them, and therefore there is TECHNICALLY a risk, so please pay up $20k/yr for compliance costs.

I use HN as a stand in example for many many sites and services out there. IMO, I don't think it will be that enforceable. Sure the big tech companies will comply, anyone that runs a smaller service outside the UK will just tell the UK govt to kick rocks if they come knocking (what can they do besides blocking the site in the UK).

If this bill gets passed were going to get the following:

- Big tech company scandal over CSAM.

- A heartbreaking story over some small time website owner facing prison time over non-compliance.

- Opinion pieces from the tech community about how it's a terrible idea all around.

- Puff pieces from non-tech outlets that praise the legislation without fully understanding the technical ramifications.

- Flame war between techies and non-techies over competing puff pieces.

Sorry, two wrongs don't make a right, and this guy facilitated selling drugs in large quantities.

Your fatalism only shuts down the discourse of workable solutions. You may as well be a shill for "the man" as you're working for the status quo agenda holding this attitude.

Your moral cry for the small time user is in alignment with me though. I'd decriminalize low amount possession and drug use since locking up drug users almost certainly pushes people who are vulnerable to collapse into definitely collapsed positions.

A civilized people would want the road to success to be the incentivized over pushing people down who are then unable to escape (statistically).
I could easily see this being really hard to understand, to an American with no French. "Unkufay? Un days err?"

As a lisp novice, I found this to be a principal challenge. Most of the docs I find will have either function signatures or examples, but the examples rarely cover the bases. I think it's pretty common for dynamically typed languages to have very hand-wavy documentation, but lisp is big on the arcane and powerful. I'd often find answers to my questions in the entirely wrong places, e.g. pearls of wisdom tucked in an example that I stumbled across looking for something entirely different.

Lazy evaluation is exactly why Haskell has monads and Ocaml does not.

the whole point of haskell was to see what happens if try to build a language with the strong requirement of lazy evaluation.

I think having some diversity in the Rust compiler space is an excellent idea. The rustc monoculture is really bad in the long-term, having multiple compilers allows for creating a much more robust standard (so that implementation bugs doesn't get "baked in" to the language) and benchmarking compile times as well as resulting binaries (in addition to many other benefits).

You're right that GCC Rust will probably be behind rustc for a while, but the sooner you start, the sooner it'll get there. The language isn't gonna "settle down" in that way any time soon, might as well just get going as soon as possible.
A human lifetime is a very short timescale. It is possible for something to be "short lived" in a geological sense, but still be devastating to multiple generations of humans.
One thing I've always wondered: how aligned is the current spot price to day to day transactions when the trading day is active?

Let's say EUR/USD reaches parity for 2 hours during the trading day and I'm in Europe -- for those two hours are my transactions 1 to 1 or is there a lag of a few hours? Or is the "on the ground" exchange rate representative of the previous closing price?
> To me this is insanely disrespectful of the team

The team is probably underperforming relative to the expectations. This is what it feels like to be questioned and put under pressure. It is technically disrespect.

To what standard should the team perform, and how can it be determined if it is?

Maybe make some sort of benchmarks visible that establish the competence and prestige of the team.

> Pirates are partially responsible for why we have DRM in the first place.

I'm not sure that's true. DRM has never prevented piracy. It's to the point that I'm not even sure they were trying to.

> Physical media (especially 4K Blu Ray Discs with their ~80-90GB movie sizes) are higher quality

Maybe, but when they even have higher fidelity they seem to always be worse in other ways. No subtitles. Subtitles that you CANNOT turn off. Subtitles only in your local country language (so no watching with visiting friends and family), even though in other countries the same movie is being sold with the "right" subtitles. Not the "good edition".

Unless you have a big 4K TV you cannot even buy the quality experience that piracy provides, at any price.
