I don't know of a way to test this behavior (I mainly code C++ and unit test with Google Test).
One could spawn a process and capture the output and return value, but that sounds a bit heavy for just testing if your error handling still works as intended.
Personally I would rather see that we quit the rocket stuff and focus on real problems. Playing with rockets serves the entertainment needs of billionaires and maybe the tech bros on HN, but serves no other purpose.

Starlink does come to mind, but that need can be served cheaper and more effectively if we would not be so capitalistic and spend a bit less on military.

Speaking of purpose, at times it feels to me that the space thing is the only thing that gives the audience a higher meaning. But it seems so desperately hollow.

It seems so gratuitous that billions are spent on nothing, whereas some very serious issues here down on earth are going out of control.

But let’s keep dreaming and fantasizing about Mars.
I keep my focus on the disintegration of society by the people who finance this rocket stuff.
> You know what they won’t be doing? Any of the venues and sources you describe.

And I get to hear a lot of their music. It's very clear they haven't heard a wide range of music, and thus for the most part they make music within a tiny range of what is possible, and you get painfully conventional music.

Being ignorant of the past doesn't make you a better musician.

Not one song on the pop charts this year would have sounded particularly out of place in 1992.

In 1970, the music on the charts would have sounded like alien voices to people in 1940.
Mixing up private health insurance vs going to private clinic and paying out of pocket.

I don’t see how digitising and centralising your medical info into a useful form is any different vs keeping everything in paper in terms for privacy. Do you argue we have no medical records in any form?
Seems like a bit of bulky setup.

Kinda hoping in the next decade or so we'll get good enough augmented reality that we'll be able to walk around in the woods with a floating terminal. Maybe a chorded keyer for input.
I similarly have several credit cards, but they’re all on autopay. There’s some older ones where I don’t use the card anymore haven’t even logged into the account in a long time (but I may still use them for new transactions on websites where I saved the credit card info). The autopay comes out of my checking account, but it just says things like “citi $271.15” (made-up example). So effectively I do not know where my money is going and it’s possible I have subscriptions I forgot about.

Just pointing out a potential pitfall of this situation. Someone’s who better at keeping up with all the details would not have this problem.
The $5 figure was from northern British Columbia. Cigarettes were much cheaper in the U.S. at the time (Canadians used to bring back a couple of duty-free cartons on a regular basis) and in Ontario, where the government reduced the taxes to counter smuggling.

Edit: in the link below you can see that over the course of 1990, cigarette prices rose from $35 to $48/carton (so $4.80/pack if you bought them by the carton) in 1990. They were, of course, more expensive if you bought individual packs, or if you lived in the north.

rust is still free.

just debian prefers to ship a stripped variant and calls it rust and cargo, which violates the rust trademark. debian can call it debrust, and the kernel can choose to support this and the official rustc.
>the EU is soon planning to ban private wallets, you can only legally host money on exchanges then, which basically means we're full circle to the old banking system

They can try to "ban" whatever they want, but it's not happening.
Mine is the opposite. Visual Studio makes it a breeze to pick up some random person’s work, often after decades of time if the projects can be upgraded.

Even if not… I recently installed Visual Studio 2015 in a VM to build an old project and it was perfectly fine.

Can it show smiley emoji in string literals? No, but it does a lot more for me as a programmer than a text editor!
It's not a lack of empathy or understanding it's that those of us who faced the dilemma you seem stuck on found the people who care and we care about still found ways to communicate after we left Facebook. Calls and texts are sufficient. I'm sorry you feel that trapped though. Something seems off in your replies. And ultimately nobody here has said anything that you have to listen to but you seem pretty defensive.
I was curious and checked, looks like my discount is 40% now! What a great incentive.
It's a good idea but unfortunately the effect is instrumental to certain parts of the gameplay. However, as per the sibling comment it looks like it may actually have been fixed as of end of last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32129916

I do have some other problems only happening on Firefox that I don't know the cause of (so probably something I can fix) but I certainly would like to remove that banner. Mozilla fixing the filter issues is a huge leap toward that and gives me motivation to look into the other problems.
do you have any recommended extensions for auto-hibernating tabs? or how do you approach having many tabs? having no built-in way to do it is unfortunate but I'm really liking the other tab features
Business people demand it to protect intellectual property without realizing the ease of reversing it / wanting to say they're doing something to protect IP that their own superior will not realize doesn't help. It is making the best of an impossible situation, the paradox of sending your code to every single customer for them to run it while also wishing nobody could see it.

The more aggressive they make patent law the less useful it seems to become for protecting any actual investment, so here we are, clinging to wooden totems...
I would agree but the game is rigged / unfair so it’s victim.
Has anyone had any luck with a long range headset or Bluetooth extenders?
Having your hands "tilting upwards" is very unnatural, and using your fingers a lot in that pose can/will quickly lead to wrist pain. Remember, most muscles controlling your fingers are in your lower arm, and the tendons that allow you to close your hand (or type) go straight through where your wrist and palm meet, which is exactly the part that is unusually flexed in that position.

Disclaimer: Not a doctor, just summarizing my experience and what I've read.
Since there's zero chance that websites and ad companies will stop their spying and manipulation (let's call it "webpage neutrality"), what you're proposing is unilateral disarmament. To require a lot of know-how and tech savvy to get privacy, while leaving the common user to the mercy of a hostile web.

This is like the argument that the Do Not Track flag was illegitimate if the browser defaulted it to 'on'. An argument that is never applied to tracking or the countless "by visiting this webpage you consent to.."
That's true - it really shouldn't have been made.
Thank you -- this is heartwarming :)
The first thing that I like to do after taking a lot of notes is to go back through each note one by one and see if I can apply it to an existing problem or paper that I am currently working on.

It allows me to reframe my existing problems using what might be a completely unorthodox perspective and may even be at least on the surface totally unrelated.

But ultimately what you do with the notes is highly dependent on what your goals are. If your intent is just to be able to increase your existing body of knowledge then it may be worth looking into some kind of SRS flashcards system for the most salient points.

For somebody with a greater desire for application purposes then they might apply the strategy that I mentioned earlier.
This.

The fact that EU is blocking access to rt.com is all I needed to know that they just wish to manipulate me for their own purposes.

This "I'll tell you what you can read, it's for your own good" is always the biggest red flag.

Anyone who has a half funcioning brain will know that ALL sides lie all the time.

This isn't about pro Russia, this is about the fact that EU is a nanny state telling me what I can and cannot read.

So regardless of what you see Russia's role being in this, one thing is clear: EU is no good guy itself.

EU is just a supra-national entity forcing EU members to conform by using the threat of not getting and EU funding and getting silly bad ratings like "no freedom of journalism in your country lol bad doggy sit".
I feel like various people are misunderstanding what I've written, so I'll try to clarify here.

> before you declare war on the ones that don't wanna change

I never "declared war" on anyone. I guess it's a lot easier having never used Facebook or Facebook products. I had a bad feeling about them from the very beginning and I've only ever felt more right in that feeling.

What would usually happen was, I'd meet someone new at some event, or maybe I'd be talking to a relative at a family gathering, and they'd say something like, "What's your Facebook? I'd like to add you to GroupX," and I'd reply that I didn't use Facebook. Then they'd follow up with, "You should join, it's <blah blah blah>," to which I'd politely explain why I won't ever join Facebook. And then one of two things would happen. Either they'd understand, and we'd exchange phone numbers or email addresses, or their eyes would glaze over and they'd find some excuse to walk away.

For the latter group, obviously we didn't interact online. For the former group, I'd text or email, and maybe they'd respond, and we'd have what I consider to be a normal relationship, or maybe they'd rarely or never respond, and we'd have no relationship. But in either case, I wasn't haranguing people not to use Facebook; I just wasn't using it. If not using Facebook meant I didn't have a relationship with someone, I was okay with that.
I don't know if you're punning or serious here.

If you're serious, you can teach elementary school kids to draw with perspective.
This is a good article. It covers a bunch of "ecosystem" stuff.

At the same time I'd generally encourage a lot of developers using plain editors and modern, but not widely used languages, to give IDEs and common languages a try. That addresses the "iteration" experience.

Modern IDEs for java, C++, C# area huge step up from whatever cobbled together setup one is likely using in neovim (saying as something who mainly used vim till about 2 years ago).

VCS integration, build integration, debugging facilities, refactoring, linting etc. are just amazing. Jetbrains IdeaVIM is also really good at getting a fast editing experience. At this point, as soon as I'm beyond a small script, it is worth it to open the project in an IDE.

We still aren't at the smalltalk or lisp machine level in certain aspects, but that is more a limitation of our larger computing platforms.
Blade Runner is not Cyber as nothing is virtual, everything is visceral... It is higher-concept Science Fiction, earnest and devoid of the stylishness of anything that would call itself *punk.
Go strikes a really good balance here.
True, but recall that the holocaust hadn't happened at the time Orwell was writing and the extent of conditions for Jews inside Germany wasn't fully known to the degree that it is now. In 1940 it probably looked as if Hitler had leveraged antisemitism to get elected and consolidate power, but then moved on from oppressing minority groups to a broader program of international aggression.
Afair couple of times I was using fingerprint auth (that'd touchid if I understand things right) in Firefox. Very rare, but definitely had it as it was big WOW for me.
Yes, and I believe this has already happened with some of the various probes sent out to the planets.

Voyager 1 launched after Voyager 2 and overtook it; both overtook earlier probes to leave the solar system.
There is no need for reproducible builds if you just compile it on the user's end.
Silverlight was never a native part of the browser.
This is very cool. And very generalizable, there are many situations where you want something like a scripting language for a MCU, and the VM implementation here is very straightforward.
I had the same idea about saving on coffee around 2003. I started making coffee at home. But I found that a drip coffee maker needs to make a minimum of about 4 cups of coffee to make proper coffee. I was only drinking 2 cups, and I was throwing away 2 cups. This seemed like a giant waste too. I used this to justify a fully automatic espresso machine that makes a variety of coffee drinks one cup at a time without extra waste. The payoff (in savings) of the fancy machine was quite long but totally worth it in the long run. The first machine was done after about 12 years and I'm on a second one now.
It was most likely a grant with early exercise: https://www.cooleygo.com/early-exercisable-stock-options-wha...

Any company claiming to be employee-friendly should offer this while its 409A valuation is low. 10-year exercise windows take care of the people who come later and should also be standard at this point.
This problem does not seem straightforward. Making have replaceable batteries and preserving their existing functionality (eg. thinness, water resistance) doesn't seem easy, nor does convincing the population to accept worse phones when most people are on a 2 year upgrade cycle.
DR didn't deliver a Mac-like interface on DOS because Apple sued them:

https://www.osnews.com/story/26322/apple-vs-dri-the-iotheri-...

But GEM ran on 2 different platforms: DOS PCs, and on the Atari ST. The Atari version was not affected by Apple's lawsuit and delivered a very slick interface.

"These types of situations make me think some externalities should be priced in, perhaps through taxes. "

Why not all? Externalities are hard to determine but in general this should be a principle in a capitalist market economy.
Libraries increase knowledge and literacy and IP laws benefit rich countries and keep poor countries poor. In another news water is wet.
CMake, sanitizers and more static analysis tooling has seen good adoption. Yeah progress has been slower than new languages but improving.
As an example of documentation at the same or better standard, also look at Racket. I'd say the python ecosystem is also really getting better at this in the past few years.
Anecdotally, I have had a sit-stand desk for 6 months. I sit for tasks which require typing and stand for the majority of calls I participate in. I average about 2 hours of calls a day.

Before getting the desk I would get stiff in the day from over-sitting. Since getting the desk that is been corrected. When standing I find I am more expressive in calls and feel I fidget less while listening. I should note I sometimes catch myself with the desk at a weird height and I have taken on a gollum pose crouched on my chair.

I think I would agree that the level of computing work is slightly impaired while standing. I am not sure the reasoning. I feel my posture is good and it is comfortable to do. Perhaps cognitively this is not a task I have enough practice doing while standing.
As stated in a sibling comment, the elctions you mention are, I assuke, the last communal (!) elections in the region before the Sudetenland became part of Germany in 1938. Assuming a roughly 50/50 split between men and women, and a SdP result of 90%, including 80% of the women (curious on were you got those numbers from so...) means close to 100% of men voted SdP.

In elections that involved quite a lot of harassment of non SdP voters, communal elections in a region in Chekoslovakia dominated by a German minority.

Well, I have to brake it to you so: women are by no means easier to come by in radical political movements than elesewhere.
Interesting, I had not yet heard of or thought about that CSS property, but it makes sense that it exists.

For example, one could enable them for headlines only, or only for smaller font sizes, only with a minimum DPR...
Redis Internals: How the PING command is implemented
This machine is only six months old, and with the rise of Apple Silicon the tooling and backwards compatibility is only going to get better.

Also, Flutter and react are not exactly the most demanding development frameworks.
"Kind of free?" Are you kidding me?

The absolutely laughable claim above was that women were not to be blamed for the electoral victories of Nazis. The fact that at least 80% of German women in Czechoslovakia voted for Nazis in free elections demolishes that absurdity.
I used to work with Brendan and despite being trans felt he sorta got the shaft from Mozilla. I know everyone was upset with him, but for a year and a half I worked with him and he was never anything but cordial to me... an out trans queer person.

So when he launched Brave I wanted to give it the benefit if the doubt. But the early messaging about what conditions ads are replaced was hamfisted and I stopped using it relatively quickly.

That being said... all the browsers (FF, Brave, Chrome, Safari, etc.) embody the agenda of their respective organizations. The question you may want to ask is "what organization has the most motivation to address issues I care about most?"

This is why I use Lynx.
Most of them left a few years after being acquired by Microsoft to start another company named Wideload Games which was later acquired by Disney. By this point I'd be surprised if anyone from the original core team is still at Bungie.
Also, Carmack wouldn't have taken that gig at Oculus if he had fu money. From what I can recall he was screwed over by Zenimax in that acquisition and a quick google search reveals his net worth to be at 50 million which is not too shabby, but certainly nowhere near his contribution to the field.
Contrary to popular belief only a handful of game devs have made out like bandits: Tim Sweeney, Gabe Newell and Notch come to mind.
I personally use the GDB with GDB Dashboard, disabling the assembly and the registers, but I think I will try DDD in the future :-)

One important thing to mention is how well shown is GDB scripting. I haven't used it or found out how to use it, but I save this article just in case I need it. Props to the writer.
Filter by price? That’s what I’ve done when I’ve perused Upwork and while there are still delusional people at all price ranges (eg, someone wanting a 150k app built for 10k) you do filter a lot of crap.
I think it opts out as maximally as possible. The project is on github: https://github.com/CodyMcCodington/AutoCookieOptout

Those are certainly interesting books, but Graeber's work in particular has been widely criticized by his peers[1]. Dawn of Everything was a naked attempt at (further) politicizing the field, and was riddled with logical and historical errors. Much like his other writings.

> One review it’s known that he did read, because he wrote a response to it, is Kwame Anthony Appiah’s in the New York Review of Books. Entitled Digging for Utopia, it accuses the authors of making ideologically driven arguments at variance with the studies they cite.

> [historian David A Bell] referred to “an astounding collection of errors” and accused the authors of coming “perilously close to scholarly malpractice”.

You would be best served by not basing your opinions on fringe material.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-featur... says “Whenever possible, Web authors should instead use the font-variant shorthand property or an associated longhand property such as font-variant-ligatures, font-variant-caps, font-variant-east-asian, font-variant-alternates, font-variant-numeric or font-variant-position. These lead to more effective, predictable, understandable results than font-feature-settings, which is a low-level feature designed to handle special cases where no other way exists to enable or access an OpenType font feature.”

Using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-varian... you can disable font ligatures (yayyy!).

Safari Mobile allows JavaScript shortcuts to run in any web page: I created a web shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts App to disable ligatures using JavaScript, and run it from the page share icon in Mobile Safari - unobvious functionality! I only learned that feature was available on the iPad today! I would prefer a user style sheet override. . .
Absolutely could! Some do this. It depends on your chosen operational constraints. Keep in mind that neutrally buoyant cabling isn't particularly compact, so it creates its own set of problems.
This is nice. I once tried to get programmatic animations running on MicroPython, but it seemed to fail to load even the simplest color conversion class (I didn't have an ESP32 back then).

I also tried streaming patterns (could've been really cool to hook it up to something like ColorCord), but my Wifi connection was definitely also too unreliable for that (hmmm, what about PoE LED strips?).

There's some project based on Javascript (I think) with in-browser previews for the patterns, but it's proprietary and only sold as pre-flashed modules. I forgot the name, but I think it has been posted here.

This bytecode-custom-language solution definitely looks over-engineered (wish I could use a language I already know to make an animation), but damn, it should be efficient. I think I'll play around with it bit.
I never stopped using them. I never could stop using them, it feels so clumsy to work a PC without gestures. I am currently using StrokesPlus.net for this purpose, I am sure there are others.
+1 on standing for meetings/calls. I’ve found it helps me be more alert and pay more attention, and the change of posture prevents getting sore from sitting on my ass all day.
Amazing that they noticed it this quickly. Most people are used to see all those URLs with encoded garbage to notice this change
This but with compilers, operating systems, books and other software is how 99.9% of people in IT in Eastern Europe started their careers. Millions of people live well because of piracy.
You mean partial _application_. The author called FORTH a concatenative language, and FORTH definitely doesn't have partial application. In fact, FORTH doesn't even have a type system. Perhaps this is a miscategorization?

fngi does have a type system which modifies a stack. However, it will be lacking many high-level type system features, being similar (but smaller and lighter-weight) than golang. Not totally sure if it qualifies or not.
Seems a justified policy for a compiler. If you are distributing a patched version of a compiler that is not from upstream you absolutely need to make users aware of that fact, so that they can decide whether they want to trust you or not. It is a security issue, because the effects of using a broken compiler can go beyond one machine.

Also, Rust needs some legal mechanism to shut down malware. Otherwise someone could throw up a build of "Rust" that does bad things to compile products and they would have no legal recourse to shut that down.
Addendum: I only now read properly the expression:

> This was what X said before they ruled the city for years, and now

This directly translates to: "X stated that individual citizens should take action to bring change. /Incidentally/, X was /also/ appointed, and nothing changed". No information is there about the actions taken by individual citizens.
I find the synch part sorely missing e2e encryprtion. That for me is Joplins Killer feature
