It's super common to have lunch at 12 and dinner at 8 without any food in-between. 3 hours without food is completely normal. Actually believing that you can't have fun for 3 hours because food isn't available (or too expensive) is weird. Even for 5 year olds.

Of course you still need something to drink during that time.
Reliability and compatibility are separate dimensions.

if the driverless tool and avahi tools can't find your printer then yes, you're living in hell and have dreams of a USB serial printer you can simply cat PDFs to. We'll probably get flying cars before we get another interface as reasonable as a line printer from 50 years ago
I think one problem is Americans aren’t the target market for major attractions and events as much as international tourists and of course high income Americans. The real whales have the sky boxes or rent out the whole venue.
I know next to nothing about competitive chess, other than watching the Magnus documentary about a younger Magnus. What kinds of things are chess players doing to prepare for a match for 6 Months? Is there something they're memorizing, studying video (what would they be looking fro)? I'd have always just thought they were good to play at any time. This sounds super stressful.
Hey HN! I’m working on a new macOS menu bar utility app called Dark Roast for macOS Ventura. Just like the Caffeine app for earlier versions of macOS, Dark Roast prevents your system and display from going to sleep with the click of a button.

The link for this post takes you straight to the sign up page for TestFlight. I’d really appreciate anyone running the macOS beta to download and give it a try - thanks!
Why? Don't you know how to disable or point to your own DoH?
Except I didn't say "most languages are peaked at 10 years"; I said virtually all languages reached or neared the ballpark of their peak at age 10, from the most to the least successful ones, and those include C, C++, and D. I think Python might be the only counterexample. So it's always possible that some other language would be another exception, but there's nothing today to indicate that Rust is gearing to be such an exception or that it is substantially different from all the languages in all domains that have exhibited that behaviour.

I do agree that it's more likely that Rust is an exception than, say, Scala or perhaps even Go, but the same would be true for, say, Carbon. I.e. while the likelihood is higher, there's nothing at the moment that would indicate that's what's happening.

Obviously Rust has garnered more enthusiasm among PL fans than D ever did, and its peak would probably be higher, but technical enthusiasm and hype is very weakly correlated with long-term success in the world of programming languages. Most charitably you could say it's a necessary condition, but it is very clearly not a sufficient one.
The lack of reports means very little.
Years ago, I tried to teach myself Ruby because Rails was all the rage.

But I could not, for the life of me, remember which symbol means private, which meant protected, which meant public. There was no affordance to the symbols, and I have never seen any other OOP language that does that.

And then I moved on to Python and Django, and found the lack of real private/protected/public in the Python world utterly liberating. The more I programmed in Python, the more I appreciated “we’re all consenting adults”.

The more I thought about it, the less reason I find in trying hide anything via protected/private. For example, if I understand correctly, in .NET/Java, anybody with enough determination (and runtime permission) can use your protected/private stuff via reflection anyway.
Sure, I meant for other readers who have not (yet?) had kids.
Right. Generally what happens is before a doc is presented to X level, it is reviewed with stakeholders at X-1 beforehand, they do a review and gather feedback, iterate, and then present to X level.
> the right of privately transacting online

There is no such right.
> They have also become less entertaining.

The classical World Championship matches have never been entertaining to watch live.

In fact they used to take 2 days for one game.

> No one dares to take any risks. Caruana was just defensive and all games ended in a draw.

Chess, in theory, with absolutely perfect play, is a draw. It's not a game of "risk" in classical time format. You can take risks in blitz and rapid, but in classical you have (almost) all the time in the world to calculate the line you're playing.
A personal horror story: I have an on-call shift that is 24/7 for one week, only 3 other people are on the shift. Alerts are frequent, noisy, and happen almost every night so you are practically guaranteed to never sleep fully that week, and the sheer breadth of services + teams we’ve accumulated and lack of any clear specificity in alerts means that I’m almost always at least somewhat confused as to if something is actually broken and, if so, how I actually fix it, even after 3 years (two of which when I lived alone during the pandemic). This was my first job out of college too, I was fully convinced that if I fucked up even once or called the wrong person I would be fired and all of the effort I put into getting this career would be meaningless.

I didn’t even get any prep or mentorship, they just suddenly put me on-call during a major product launch. No extra pay or time off btw, just gotta continue work if you were up all night trying to fix some thing with vague priority & vague symptoms (too much latency on random offline service I’ve never heard of that turns out to be a dev experiment, latency being caused by a laggy database that you find out by finding some random message in splunk and regexing it out and into a graph).

I’m definitely a changed person after it, I don’t really… react as much anymore and flinch every time I hear a default iPhone text notification or ringtone. I don’t know how to fix it either—I don’t know if our team has enough people to spread the load out and I can’t think of any better way to keep track of failures in this labyrinth of services, and onboarding people to the point where they can actually take an additional shift is usually 8-12 months. Even experienced people still get ambushed by new services with zero documentation.

Pros though: I don’t really experience much stress or uncertainty anymore in hard situations, and I seem to be much better at problem solving! I’ve also managed to keep my prestigious job with life-changing pay, which feels much more personally fulfilling than coasting at Google (even if it’s for the wrong reasons).
FWIW, I think this is a really cool idea but to me it also seemed like the comparison with Wordle was a bit unusual. But I'm fatigued by Wordle variants, so maybe it's just me trying to view it through a different lens.
> I know they do something similar in boxing, but there it sort of makes sense because attending too many boxing tournaments isn't exactly healthy.

Also a boxing match is a maximum of 12 rounds over 47 minutes (since 1982), not 12 games over 3 weeks.
> Is there something they're memorizing

Yes. Their upcoming opponent's past games (including analyzing them for strengths and weaknesses), and engine lines mostly.
So preventable deaths for low-income people increase dramatically as they spend their £500 on fuel, rent or booze instead of surviving the heart attack they didn't know they were going to have, and then put off calling the ambulance because they're unable to provide payment details.

On the plus side, rich people get rapid, efficient ambulance service whenever they dislocate a finger or feel a bit nauseous. I'm not sure that was the solution to the triage problem the OP was looking for though.

When you have objective metrics like survivability to assess performance against which trump individuals' personal tastes, a market is almost always laughably inadequate.
I worked at a place in the 2000's where our main application leaked like a sieve due to not releasing memory from a C++ framework, and two people had to take turns every other night restarting the app (actually it was chopped up into 20 different apps that had to be started in order by hand) every two hours or so. I can't imagine they got much sleep on their night.
This is the biggest pain of the modern software development process. Freelancers or outsource companies are not interested in your business, they are interested in charging you for hours spent. This approach is counter productive and is against common sense. Especially if you are a solo maker, not a $$$$ backed startup.

I believe to change this, we need to invent a completely new way of how software is built.

I recently met a guy who came up with an idea. He created a whole new methodology of coding stuff. It took him 4 years of hard working. He made a platform which allows making software out of separated entities which live by their own lives. Those entities (components) are developed by individuals. Therefore, projects built using a set of living components needs less maintenance work because a project is built of components which are maintained by someone else.

The only way to keep this evolution of the components going on is to benefit the makers of the components. The users of the components will pay a fee for the makers of components. Thus we get a win-win. A maker of a component can create an amazing, let's say, billing module and continue working on this single piece of code for years while being paid by 1,000 users of the component. While the users of the component just pay a small fee, hit the 'plug' button and do not care about the maintenance anymore.

This sounds like a magic, but it already works. The guy who made it already got his 100+ customers.
Adding your own DoH server has always been possible, see for example https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/android/ though you can add an adblocking server in its place.
For those of us who don't follow this closely, why is the format such a problem?

Is it because its stressful, and demands too much work and prep from participants.

Just asking as competitive sport at the top level be it chess, football, or even swimming for that matter demands lots of work and a kind of work ethic not easy for most of us.
Like it or not, we aren't talking hifi and you may not love their specific coloration but the audio quality per form factor and price of bose bluetooth speakers is quite great compared to alternatives. I mean there are certainly better ones obviously but my soundlink revolve and my soundlink micro are much better than the models from other brands they replaced. Reliability however may be a different thing but I have not treated them very kindly to say the least.

I also bought a Bose noise cancelling headset 2y ago and I would say it is quite good, I think the only great alternatives in the same price range are from Sony, the Yamaha, Apple ones are much more expensive. Maybe other decent alternatives would be from technics or sennheiser?
>Why in the world shoot kids in the first place?

I don't know. I certainly don't think anyone should be shooting kids.

>US is the only country in the whole universe that has an active shooter problem in schools.

Because we have guns that are relatively available and a handful of wingnuts that want to hurt kids.

That said, it is not the only place that has a violence against children problem. Not even the only place with a violence against children in schools problem.

The market wants what the other segment of the market has, that's the purpose of marketing. Phones with no jacks, like laptops with no i/o, is something impractical that people self-justify because of the logo and the clout it affords. You're part of the in group, you made it, you have achieved sameness, you have an iPhone.

Airpods are just about the worst headphones money can buy and people fight over them, despite there being headphones sold for <$100 that blow them out of the water. I have in-ear-monitors that cost a fraction of what an airpod does, has detachable cords AND bluetooth to each ear, and they sound much better and balanced.

Whoever took away the audio port on modern phones should be dragged outside and beaten like an unruly fax machine.
Hopefully now he can dedicate more time to reaching 2900, a much more interesting accomplishment than winning 1, 2 or even 5 more world championships in their current format.

If the device e.g. your smart TV, has an option for it, then you can do that. If it hardcodes a bunch of resolvers, you can't do much about it.
It doesn't make DNS based ad filtering impossible unless you're doing that at the router level. You can still do it locally (like via hosts file) or via the DNS resolver itself.
> I'm surprised to learn that he was a valued member of an open source community

He wasn't without controversy, even at a time when the free software culture was even less interested than today in being nice when you could be right[tm] instead.

But let's leave it at that here.
I guess during the many years developing AptX, they thought that obviously nobody would ever want to hear high-quality audio and use the microphone at the same time!
In theory, wouldn't the player who takes the first move have a tiny tiny edge? Or is the second mover always able to guarantee a draw if they play perfectly?
There is no "road tax" in the UK, is it? It's a fee for polluting, not using the road. I hate that it's being used as an argument against cyclists: "get off the road, you don't pay road tax". This of course also ignores that most adult cyclists also own a car..

Norway have the same issues now. Almost all new cars are electric. You don't pay purchase tax / vat when buying it. Pay less on toll roads. Cheaper to use. Etc. etc.

Which was great to get the initial people to convert, and get the infrastructure in place. But now it's time to tax them. Lots of budgets are now off because they estimated X amounts from cars using toll roads, but half of them don't pay the price.

While they don't emit carbon dioxide, they are just as deadly as normal cars. Also pollute more from the tires being heavier. Just as noisy. Need the same expensive roads. And as all cars they ruin the city.
It is one of the best options available given the limitations of the area. Germany does not have the geography for large-scale hydropower like e.g. Norway does, it does not have large-scale access to geothermal energy sources like Iceland does, it does not have access to reliable wind like actually not that many places have - where 'reliable' stands for 'does not stop when you need it'. It does not have access to large deposits of natural gas like the Netherlands once did and Russia still does. What Germany does have is coal of varying qualities, much of it on the lower end of the quality scale.

More importantly, what Germany does have is a tradition of engineering excellence which is just the thing needed to design and build effective nuclear power infrastructure. France succeeded here so I see no reason why Germany could not if they only managed to convince - or push aside - the remaining recalcitrant 'green' politicos.
Bit hard to follow but as far as I can tell those are pinning the C++ types and wrapping them in some other object that allows a move constructor to be called on them to move them to some other pinned location.

It still doesn't let you natively move them, and if you have to wrap them in something you may as well just wrap them in `Box<>` and not move them, which is what cxx does.

I guess maybe it makes a difference for passing things into existing C++ interfaces?

Anyway it looks insanely complicated.
Kia's are junk compared to hondas. That honda motor could last 400,000 miles. The Kia, maybe 150,000.
Chess at this level is hard work, by resigning now he "sort of" stays world champion
But now you are playing the lottery.
AFAIK it's not a solved game so we cannot say with certainty.
If they are so hell bent of forcing users to pay stop offering a free version.
I'm not sure we know about the side effects very well yet though?
Funny that they mention Arkady Dvorkovich, I would expect him to quietly retreat from managing current affairs in FIDE because of his high position in Russian civil service.

How can one of the closest allies of Putin head an international organisation nowadays?
> Step 1: Hire a freelance developer

yeah that's the point where most of you get stuck, because lot of Freelance developers are outright liars. Before you will find somebody who at least understand what you want from him, you already wasted 2 months of your time. This can follow into a guy who understand what you want from him, but has no clue what to do and creates horrid mess.

Eventually you end up redoing everything what your cheap Freelancer did.

Another dimension is that if you can't separate Freelancer from you codebase, you can easily leak IP through Freelancing. Which might be even worse than sloppy job.
Similar thing would happen in my Toyota, the song 'Afraid' by Yellowcard would play every time I turned on the car. Realized it was playing the first song in my library. In Apple Music there is a song called 'A a a a a Very Good Song (Silent Track)' by artist Samir Mezrahi, that contains 10 minutes of silence. I added that to my library and now that song plays when I turn on my car (although this autoplay only happens occasionally since some Toyota update). The album art simply says: 'have a wonderful day.'

The song:

This individual was not in my chain of command. If you're not my boss, then you have no right to threaten my job status as a coworker. That is fundamentally abusive and manipulative and is textbook harassment meant to intimidate and cause fear. There's nothing constructive about it.
Obviously this raised the issue of Bobby Fischer. The article mentions this but doesn't really go into the details.

Fischer beat Spassky in Rejkyavik in 1972 for the World Championship. This took almost 3 months (July to September) and there was controversy, disagreement and negotiation about where and how it would take place. This had the backdrop of being a Cold War proxy too of course.

Interestingly, Fischer didn't play competitive Chess after this. He was set to defend the title against the eventual challenger, Anatoly Karpov, in 1975. Fischer too didn't like the tendency for draws and proposed a format of first to 10 wins (with Fischer retaining the title in case of a 9-9). This was rejected and Fischer ultimately abdicated and never played competitive Chess again. He also became a semi-nomadic recluse too.

But it also wasn't Fischer's first hiatus from the game. There was the 1972-1975 gap but also anotehr in the 1960s. He clearly seemed like a troubled guy.

I've always found it fascinating the level of commitment required to play Chess at this level. I certainly have never had any interest in that (nor the ability, to be clear). No one really seems to know how to solve this without going to a more blitz like format.

Chess at the highest level seems to revolve around memorizing a whole book of openings and defenses while being able to take advantage of mistakes but also finding novel approaches in standard openings and defenses but now it seems you have to go fairly deep into a game before you go off-book.
We’re there any retail games that are 2MB in size? Fun project but for real use I would wait until v2 for larger rom sizes.
> Chess, in theory, with absolutely perfect play, is a draw.

While this is highly likely and essentially agreed upon by all experts on the matter, it's not proven yet.
My biggest problem with Bluetooth is never having a good way to figure out why something's not working right. For example, one time I wanted to transfer photos from a phone to a tablet with no internet. With one on BT 3 and one on BT 4, the theoretical speed should've been 20mbps. Instead it was around 50KB/s. Why? Who knows. My crappy eight year old bluetooth receiver, while not having quite the audio quality of my newer headphones, has zero perceptible latency. My newer headphones are practically useless for gaming but if I try to use the headset profile the quality is so low as to be worthless for anything but phone calls. How is the old one doing it better? I have no idea.
This is a very charitable interpretation of corporate behavior, but perhaps one reason this could have been implemented is to enable support teams to detect if it's installed on a system.

As with anything though, it could be abused by tech support scammers. Overall, I wish such things weren't implemented.
I recently used bluetooth headphones (airpods) in a summer cottage in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. The phone (samsung) was inches from the headphones. In other words, it's hard to imagine better radio conditions. And yet, the connection occasionally glitched (a handful of times over a total of many hours).
Honest question: Would somebody at this "level" be better than good at something like StarCraft ?
Noted that SC takes more than "just strategy" i.e micro comes to mind.

Like I would pay good money to see Serral Vs Magnus, maybe after some coaching sessions with Harstem ? :D ?

EDIT: Just out of curiosity will there be anything else that someone at this level is "exceptional" good at besides chess ?
I wonder if Magnus wasn't inspired by Hikaru's zero-f's given attitude, where he's just playing for fun or the challenge, instead of titles.
Both hosts file and custom DNS resolvers require the device to cooperate.
It's completely understandable that hotdogs are an integral part of the baseball game experience, the same way that getting popcorn at a movie theater is part of the experience.

But that's not really how it was phrased and it's ridiculous to think that anyone, even children as young as 5 or 6, should have any issue with not having food available for 3-4 hours.
Only for severe depression, if you take into account all clinical trials - including the ones buried by pharma companies. This is the work by Irving Kirsch being referenced here, and it's excellent.
Sure, but even low-level languages have tended to reach the ballpark of their all-time peak market penetration -- however high or low it is -- around age 10.
The drug does something. It at least creates a distraction. That distraction can create a helpful feedback loop. After all, depressive/anxious/etc thoughts are generally arbitrary (though relentness), out of the all the thoughts one could have. So a chemical causing an effect, or just the process of trying an intervention can be useful. Distraction is incredibly important in therapy, it is after all ultimately how we all deal with the fact our lives have an end.
Show HN: For International Moon Day, I’m excited to share my curated Moon page
I've found them entertaining to watch. But Norwegians are master of slow-TV, so I guess that's why. They have good experts that manage to explain it to normal people. Interesting guests in the studio between moves. Interact with audience through questions from chat etc.

I don't think that's solved, actually.
Russia-Ukraine war and resulting sanctions reveal something about global economy
Still an open problem.

Unlike tic-tac-toe we're not certain if it is a win or a draw for perfect players.
