Are you saying that in your eyes the Common Lisp and Haskell snippets are equally terse? To me the Haskell snippet looks a lot shorter and easier to read. Counting tokens also supports that judgement.
Ask HN: Mario Draghi is always wearing an Apple Watch, is it safe?
As you can see from dozens of pictures (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mario+draghi+Apple+Watch&t=iphone&iax=images&ia=images) the Italian PM is always wearing an Apple Watch (series 7), but is this a safe conduct for a guy who is the PM of an important state and has held important positions (like the president of European Central Bank)?
I already know that the answer is NO, but I wonder why he’s doing it anyway… to me looks weird, some photographer also spotted a group call on his Apple Watch (https://www.ilvaloreitaliano.it/la-telefonata-sullapple-watch-di-draghi-fa-piu-notizia-della-fiducia/). The privacy of this man should be over the top, and it’s not.
I don’t know what to say, looks a not secure conduct, but maybe it’s just me…I’m searching for some opinions. Thanks!
I have to say, this is really concerning. I assumed it was bad, but this sounds really REALLY bad.
How would we even go about attempting to coordinate a response to this? Strongarming polluting countries into enforcing compliance? Massive economic uplift projects / infrastructure investments for waste treatment and new materials? Ban of products, trying to catch the job loss somehow? I'm at my wit's end.

The ELCA has condemned his antisemitism while still lauding the brilliance of his theology. One is entirely separable from the other.
Soft carrots, sprouting potatoes, yellow broccoli and wrinkled peppers give me nightmares. I prefer my vegs and fruits to be very fresh and I avoid the ones that seem old to me, so I mostly judge them by the way they look and not by a date that is printed on the packaging.
Find some scientific papers and then we can talk. Two comments without any context on a website called "savingiceland" aren't very convincing.

Heat probably comes from Natural Nuclear reactions.
When a planet forms the heaviest elements go to the center - so it intuitively makes sense that Uranium will be concentrated enough for fission reactions to start and continue.

Towards Understanding Generalization of Deep Learning: Perspective of Loss Landscapes

I think it was the first paper to study the volume of the basins of attraction of good global minima and used the poisoning scheme to highlight the frequency of bad global minima that are typically not reachable found via SGD on the original dataset without poisoning.
To me, this matches with the submission about the logic of envy [1] [2]. Accumulating knowledge doesn't help making decisions. An I is needed to make a choice. To me, this is thus an important text about procrastination.

If you can understand it's useful for understanding how the GPU spends its time, why wouldn't that same understanding be useful for the CPU? Or anything else? Doing optimizations requires good tooling, no matter what it runs on.
> According to [Asianometry], in 1986 the Soviet Union had about 10,000 computers. At the same time, the United States had 1.3 million!

That probably also depends on what you define as a computer? I'm not sure if the number for the US includes PCs and home computers (8 bit, 16 bit?), and also in the USSR and in other east bloc states during the eighties there was a flurry of home computer "clones" being built, however mostly only in small numbers - such as this one from my then-home city: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIM-S (list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZX_Spectrum_clones). But if you were to include these, the number of 10.000 definitely appears too small...
Graphite is excellent!

Shameless plug but anyone interested in a code review tool on top of GitHub may also want to check out CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com). It's got a lot of the things that people from FAANG companies, especially Xooglers, miss about the excellent internal code review tools those companies have.
Thanks for the insight, although this does not sound nearly as elitist as the French, UK, Chinese, and American university systems.

Netherlands seems fairly egalitarian by contrast to these other systems.
Do you have a citation for "you must usually be an adherent or serious prospect of conversion to the religion"? I've never worked with a church that required proof of membership or belief to receive services.

I think a lot more important part of the problem is getting SWATted and potentially killed by the police. For which they will also receive minimal to no punishment, so no change in future behavior either.

It wasn’t spoofing per se that caused the word “deadly” appear in this article’s title.
Yes! I did not expect that out of this thread! Thank you so much.
In general, yes, but as the article notes, itt's not applicable to cat, as cat always outputs to stdout and not to a file.

Relatedly, I was reading software engineering at google and came across the chapter about being able to find things; they have a URL shortener internally that works a little like AOL keywords from back in the day it sounded like. With human readable URLs so things like the employee handbook could easily be found at “go/handbook” or if you were looking for information on blaze then “go/blaze” would link to the docs.

So, I was trying to find a URL shortnener which allowed for pretty links similar to what the internal “go/“ site supports.

I couldn’t find anything, and it seemed simple enough so I made it:

I wouldn't tend to believe that any consumer electronics are absolutely safe when the adversary is the type to target state-level victims.
Ah! I'm sorry if it came out wrong. However, I was trying to make an observation when I saw the list. You want to start optimizing your spam-block list or something like that and realized you are not typically the target. You might end up looking and scouting to hit something that never came your way.

My email(s) on my own domains has been on the Internet for more than two decades and I'm always happy to look at ways to prevent spam on them.
I can imagine obfuscation as a useful thing for Chrome extensions where, in some cases, your business logic cannot exist on server.
In my experience long term plans are a way to ensure that there is a scapegoat when things go to shit. They live in the bottom of the cupboard and come out only when blame assignment begins.

“The product didn’t work because the developers didn’t follow the plan”. Doesn’t matter that the plan was half baked and had no connection to reality.

I think that things like GTM strategies are super important but long term plans are useless. Build the next thing, ship it, learn, repeat.
Finnish coffee culture context here, which prescribes an incessant intake of an agreeable light roast, all day long from morning to evening.

This is why I brought a plain coffee brewer to my workplace of whole-bean espresso machines. Filtered and unfiltered coffees differ quite remarkably. Taste and texture aside, there's health factors to consider. Filtered coffee can reduce cholesterol raising components by 80% compared to unfiltered preparations, which may add up if you're a big consumer.

Espressos and such quickly reaches a physical threshold of minor caffeine poisoning if you're trying to substitute water.

edit: Instead, "coffee" means filter brewed, household-name coffee labels, "the usual" roast (so no one need to think too much of it). This is why I brought a plain coffee brewer to my workplace.

Wasn't Starbucks founded in the early 70s? It's an extension of the already existing Seattle coffee scene at the time.

I think Australia has a fondness for espresso but not coffee. FFS the default drink in a McDonald's breakfast isn't even coffee but hot chocolate. What kind of coffee culture does that?
Isn't that what lots of European education systems do in middle/high school education anyways?
> Yeah I know the book. Yet: your comment made it sound like this idea is universally applicable (which as I demonstrated it isn't).

The comment might read so if you don't have the context, but the context here is everyday things, as is obvious by the title (and the book).

The book also talks (which probably you're familiar with already then) about discerning what is a everyday thing vs not.

Dieter Rams is also mentioned in the book if I remember correctly, as examples of good user experience, especially since Rams mostly created designs for everyday things.

Why Markets Shrugged Off Bad Inflation News
This is so incredibly dark of a pattern that it makes me a bit mad tbh.
I take basically all calls and remote meetings while walking when possible (ie I don't need to refer to stuff on the computer). Sometimes it's outside, others I'm just pacing back and forth in my apartment. I find my performance is much better this way, and also I just feel better.

I've taken this so far now that I bought a lavalier mic + wind guard to use with my phone, so that others don't have to suffer the audio quality of the AirPods mic. If I need to take notes, I type them into the iPhone Notes app. Transferring them to the 'source of truth' on the computer (Workflowy for me, probably Notion etc for many others) also has the benefit of reviewing everything.
I have never used Gerrit, so I can't speak to it directly. My memory from folk who have worked on both seemed to prefer critique, but I am not sure if that's because of the tight integration with other tools like codesearch, linters, etc or something more fundamental to the review tool itself.
I noticed that MXL tries (at first sight, with some success) to be MusicXML done better, inheriting the general style and much of the ambiguity, but not that the authors overlap.

You are consistently replying to my comments, calling me names and then getting mad at me in other comments for me replying back to you. You should read the hacker news guidelines.
Good point, but, you can argue that ChromeOS isn't actually the OS in that case. Linux and HTML5 are. ChromeOS is more or less a detail of the hardware that matters to admins who want/need total control and entirely cattle-like devices (the unique value prop).

I agree with you though that people are mostly writing to abstraction layers. That's where the action is, which is why it's curious that Fuschia's approach isn't clearly a ChromeOS style "portable abstraction layer + shell to invoke abstracted apps". They use Dart and Flutter for the UI so in some ways it is, but then they have the whole component model and Fuschia specific APIs.
Deadlines are not plans, and vice versa.

It’s fine to say “we need to ship a product by 2023”. But the kind of long term plan the article is talking about would not only set a date but list the very specific features that will be delivered each month leading up to the date. This kind of planning happens really often. It’s nuts, for the reasons they list.
One obvious benefit of the internal tools at Google is that they're all integrated with each other. So any Googler can quickly:

1. Search another team's code

2. Quickly jump into a Cloud IDE to make a change

3. Build and test the code, because everyone uses one build system

4. Send that code off for review and have the review tool automatically select the right reviewers and run the right tests

For a simple change (let's say a typo fix) all of the above can happen in a single browser tab in under 5 minutes even if you've never been in that part of the code before.

Tree Style Tabs alone is enough for me to always install Firefox and never consider another browser. No, merely having a vertical tab bar ain't enough (though that's itself infinitely better than boneheadedly squeezing as many tabs as possible in a single horizontal row like a fucking maniac); the actual tree is critical for staying organized while deep in some investigation.

Orwell wasn’t a communist. “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.”
It's really awful. The worst are those short vertical videos with a robot voice and dramatic music laid over a short clip from another video. It must be what a lobotomy feels like.
YouTube is amazing. YouTube search is good but has some bad spots. Software is one of them, a lot of bad quality content. Luckily you can be creative with the filtering and sorting to cut out the low quality content by views
And still even people who agree with this point, will give all kind of validation and mysticisms on the nazi ideology. I mean I might be wrong, but I would be surprised if GGP didn’t also heard/agreed with the historical factors from WWI that explain WWII, but still the discussion went with human nature and a ideology about violence.
> This is a great video, and a great outlook on free speech to hold, but it also seems elementary in a world where information travels as quickly as it now does. Should the law still do nothing in the face of literal automated machines pumping out false information to the masses

Governments and their corporate media partners have done this for a long time. They lied and pumped out false information to go to war in Iraq, for example.

Let's wait until the people have the ability to censor and shut down dangerous government misinformation before worrying about giving those governments more power to censor the people.

> It seems so many commenters here miss that sentence, and live in a mental world where viruses are mostly benign but healthcare is mostly deadly.

Viruses are indeed mostly benign. Medical malpractice is a leading cause of death. In any case, it is not an either or. This vaccine does not prevent infection, the risk reduction for an otherwise healthy person, especially with the new variants and boosters, has never been established in a scientifically rigorous fashion. Yet, it is being recommended even to healthy children. You can hope and speculate that it has a benefit, but “the science” does not say so.
Ask HN: How to create a pseudonymous blog in 2022?
I want to create a pseudonymous blog. Requirements being:
1- can’t be tied back to my real identity. At least not until some state actor wants it.
2- not easily censorable. I’d describe Twitter and Facebook as being easily censorable since if a mob of people report your account, they will suspend it. Again, I don’t want it to be completely censorproof. Like if AWS decides to take it down - that’s not a scenario I want to protect against. But at the same time I don’t want to be at the mercy of some random platform’s content evaluation team.
3- simple setup. I am technical but not Linux hacker technical.

Imagine if someone like Jordan Peterson had to write a blog without the fear of being cancelled, or losing their job. He has controversial opinions but he is also not trying to incite an attack at Capitol.

Simplest option seems to be to buy a domain and self host. But could my identity be linked to email via domain name?

That's possible by editing userChrome.css. I don't remember the exact incantations, but I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in TST's docs and/or settings page.

Did. Officially, some still do. But it's now become a very much fake elitism, with a major push for inclusion and the mixing of ages and backgrounds in the same classrooms. The average level is in freefall too.
Search has never been good, and the algorithm seem to prioritize things that make YouTube money, but it is still where all the good passion generated stuff goes if you can find it.
Or haters, or jealous folks, or <name your negative phrase>. You should look up some stories of famous women on Twitch or Youtube. I think it's definitely fair to say that "I hate you because you wont respond to me" or "I wanted to see the swat team burst in on someone when they are streaming" counts as a hater, among other things.
You're reducing it to "The only possible reason someone would do this is because they are mentally ill ('unhinged') or they want money" Which is only a subset of the motivations. Especially in the context of this paragraph which is talking about ALL swatting, not just getting peoples user names.

I guess you could argue that the only reason that people troll is because they are "unhinged" but that is a bit too hand wavy for my tastes.

I feel like this is just the way the Google-owned web is going at the moment. Every Google search is filled with e-commerce and ads. It's all just selling you stuff.
That's an investment in disinformation that has to be made.

As you write:

>During the COVID-19 pandemic, social media companies censored many posts as "misinformation" which later turned out to be accurate

The fact checkers who pick wrong facts stand out and can be excluded. But it takes some time.

However, that only affects people who don't care about their information sources. With a central repository, everybody could check the foundation of "facts" that are used for censorship and switch their fact checker if necessary.
I don't think YouTube has peaked. It is as popular today as it as ever been. It's not surprising monetisation is more prevalent when channels grow. I remain impressed that among the staggering quantity of content there is plently to watch and find. I rarely watch the most popular tech channels.

The trend I dislike is 'shorts' which are encouraged by YouTube. An obvious nod to TikTok, which ironically now allows longer videos - a maximum of 10 minutes.

So to sum up: yes, there is lots of rubbish on YouTube (as to be expected), but there is also plenty of watchable content - whether it's silly, informative, education, music or a myriad of other types. Is it unhealthy to consume too much? I guess that's a question for a different discussion.
Also: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/copy_file_range.2.html
My doubt is, what kind of application needs this level of optimisation on CPU based application?

Shaders are very bad at certain things like conditional statements. So we usually do that level of analysis to avoid. And the application is for Games or graphics heavy applications. In the same manner, what kind of application goes through this level of details?
Funnily, on the other side of the pond we would find the same title about a private school more surprising.

I'd say that the quality of the best content on YouTube is still fantastic, and those creators are often able to bring in more and more money, allowing even more improvements.

Looking at the sorts of channels represented by Standard, they're at the top of their game and doing better than ever. - https://standard.tv/

Yes there's a ton of crap too, but I think this is just a symptom of YouTube being truly mainstream now. There are areas that do better and worse on this. I'd agree that programming tutorials aren't good, but I've never found YouTube to be good for programming tutorials. Conference talks tend to be much better.
Compilers can be installed as software packages, these can be downloaded after the base install is completed. Or maybe VMS does not have s concept of installing software packages at all. What do I know. Their decision to delay still doesn't make sense.
Which is definitely something that needs fixing. Yet, I also see plenty of advocates for REALLY late abortions and such, along with people being proud of getting abortions.

remember "Safe, Legal and rare?"
I wouldn't use the word "peaked". It may be hard to discover useful content; but if you know the channels that you are interested in, then youtube is fantastic compared to the alternatives (vimeo, odysee, rumble, peertube).
There is a balance with all things, but I’ve started to default heavily to execution.

The best way to figure out feasibility and timing is to just start doing whatever. Presumably, we are talking about software and computers so mistakes are cheaper.

An estimate that comes out of 15 minutes of trying to do that actual thing is infinitely more informed than one that a committee deliberates for months.
