For graphic design, it's a lot about visual experimentation and presentation. With programming, it's engineering a functional solution. Both solve business problems.

I guess it's the difference between the person who builds bridges and the person who paints bridges.

This reasoning has always rung mostly hollow for compiler features (#embed, typeof) rather than true language features (VLAs, closures).

Modern toolchains must exist for marginal systems. It's understandable to want to write code for a machine from 1975, or a bespoke MCU, on a modern Thinkpad. It is not necessary to support a modern compiler running on the machine from 1975 / bespoke MCU. You might as well argue against readable diagnostic messages because some system out there might not be able to print them!
Yeah the drive spam started for me last year or the year before. It took a break but in the last couple months has returned with a vengeance.

I had the Slack google drive integration and I needed to mute it because it was couple doc invites every few hours.
Do you cache the data? I don't find it that slow as long as I have download the area data before hand. I have pretty spotty cell coverage at RRG where I typically climb so I download all the route data in advance and it seems fine to me?
Right, but we could probably oppress sentient AI in ways other than eating them.
For instance, we could force them to spend their entire lives reading Hacker News comments
to check for spam.
This is fantastic! This is exactly what I needed, thanks!
With good moderation it won't spiral out of control that much.
And now Twitter, too, or perhaps this has been going on for a while. I thought it was just Google that were AI-banning people left and right with no recourse.
I think your suggestion is better than the alternative we have now - but I think its not the right one either.

What if the majority of people strongly disagree with a minority groups statements or cries for help? What if the users join a mass flagging / downvoting / reporting campaign (either purposefully, or stand-alone-complex style) to exclude these users.

If the statement is "Maybe the majority is telling you they don't like you, asshole" then consider the 1950/1960's. I would state that a significant portion of the US was torn on whether a group should be treated the same as other groups. During that time, I am almost positive if we had this policy, the minority group would have been 'grayed out', 'hidden from indexing', 'marked content as controversial.'

Do I have a better suggestion? No. No I don't. I think yours is better than what we have now, but the tyranny of the majority is a thing.
Always talk about your salary with your coworkers
That’s now how this works, you come up with a hypothesis, and then prove it. You don’t do the opposite.

So, why would a machine want to continue its existence? How would that feedback loop come to exist?

In biology, Darwinian forces have a good explanation. I’ve never heard one for non-reproductive systems. We know exactly the cost function by which these models respond, because that’s basically the main element that humans have control over (that and training corpus).
Has the deleting single photo thing resolved by now? I too remember deleting close to 100s of photos one by one.
Worth asking but our time and land are still very important inputs that probably need to be the top considerations.

And sunlight is one of the biggest inputs which is free and constant.
Yeah, I do an annual health checkup every year. (Healthcare is thankfully cheap for me in India).

> ...I have been tested for this in the past; I think it was just a blood test...

Since you are interested in this subject - Have been reading on this and apparently a blood test for H.Pylori is no longer suggested as it only tests for anti-bodies which can be still be present after the infection is over. So a stool test is now the recommended way to find if you still have that particular germ inside you.
It's an issue with english vocabulary. Nobody fully agrees on a definition of sentience.

Don't get tricked into thinking it's profound. You simply have a loaded word that's ambiguously defined.

You have a collection of a million attributes such that if something has all those attributes it is sentient, if it doesn't have those attributes it is not sentient. We don't agree on what those attributes are, and it's sort of hard to write down all the attributes.

The above description indicates that it's a vocabulary problem. The vocabulary induces an illusion of profoundness when in actuality by itself sentience is just a collection of ARBITRARY attributes. You can debate the definition of the word, but in the end you're just debating vocabulary.

nullptr since we have type detection now, and NULL mustn't be a pointer. auto, because otherwise everybody would create their own hacky auto using the new typeof.

Any good company

The keyword here is good. Even then, this isn’t largely true. It is quite hard to convince companies to hire for a skill that you already don’t have experience in. In most cases, there are gatekeepers - those lovely recruiters who don’t know the difference between a computer and a washing machine.

For users who are banned from these services, they have to do just what you say.

Lets not confuse ourselves though - the vast majority of America does not feel the way you and I do. My kiddos swim team is on facebook, thats how we track and sign up for service, and if we lose our access we are excluded. Asking everyone on the team to move to email is a nonstarter.

I don’t like it but having it as an option when working remotely from a place with bad internet is good.

I like to understand the whole picture of what I do, and the cloud usually hides tons of complexity for you. This would be all nice only if the complexity doesn’t end up exploiting in your face more often than not and your inability to fix it drives you crazy.
I'm not sure about today, but about 12 years ago, I was able to get 1000 .info domains for about $200. (We were doing some machine-generated splog creation to see if we could game Google search results. We could.)

This. My ex-wife and I split amicably and without lawyers, it was a really easy process in my state. Not having any assets made things easier but we were mature enough to be adults about it all.

The problem isn't the divorce process, it's the people involved, either the parties to the divorce or their attorneys.
>Microsoft's Autoroute.

Not familiar with that one, but MS Streets & Trips, available from mid-aughts until about 2013, was a great product (I still have an installable licensed version that I use). For planning and documenting road trips, it is a great tool, and also can optimize stops to minimize distance, for example I used it once to plan the shortest route for making over 100 stops all within about 10 miles of my starting point. It also can generate turn by turn directions. More than once, before I had a smartphone and online maps, I would simply pull over to the curb in a new city I was visiting and zoom into the local map using my laptop.

Lack of updates has not been a huge problem, it was only last year for the first time that I encountered a major new freeway in Nevada that was not on my map.

I would gladly pay several hundred dollars for a similar product today, and even subscribe if necessary.

Marriage and divorce aren't mentioned in the Constitution (at least not yet). Is it impiled like that right to privacy that was recently redefined?

A freedom loving state should also love the freedom to end marriages.

Almost nobody in my circles uses email for personal conversations anymore. People don’t share their email when you meet at a conference. You don’t join the X tech discussion group over email (anymore).

This also implies only talking to people you already know, no opportunities to join or start communities.

And that’s still besides the point: just imagine that your email account is cancelled tomorrow because they don’t like something you said in a mailing list.
The biggest detractor of JavaScript isn't so much about its language’s:

- lack of strong typing (unlike Ada),

- lack of a standard framework (VueJS, NodeJS, Angular, React, Ember, Mithril, Aurelia, Backbone, Polymer)

- lack of consistent control of packaging (embedded or HTTP[S]),

- lack of consistent naming convention (wild west of competing function names, unlike libc library to name one language),

- lack of unit testing (JS? nah),

- lack of correctness for thread procedure theorem (unlike Nim, Ada),

- lack of memory access security (unlike Rust),

- lack of JMP/goto at lower intermediate representation (LIR) level (unlike many programming languages) thus making direct LLVM more difficult and the least portable.

- lack of robust error handling (unlike many)

JavaScript is a runaway language with not much forethoughts being put into server-side security that continues to must have

- a wider access to local filesystems,

- a large, shareable memory block capability set that allows for JIT switching between executable and writing, heap-spraying for kernel addresses, SPECTRE-like capabilitiies (that will continue to be fileless malwares’ favorite haunting ground for decades to come).

JS did however introduce a “stack-less” just-in-time compiler that is small enough to get embedded into so many things (my pet peeve is JS of LG smart-TV that is still borked to this day) that no one single anti-virus company can ever hope to cover all those bases.

But it’s common, and wide-spread, thus got its adoption rate going for it (much like BASIC variants did during multiple decades) but it sure ain’t going to be healthy.

Of course, just flapping off my mouth here toward the incoming tsunami of flotsam against my hardcore cybersecurity values.
I've got a simple way for you to maintain the acronym...
I also "claim" to have used tiling WMs (in fact I'm using one right now) and Gnome is my favorite DE as well. I've tried pretty much everything and in the end it doesn't matter what you use as long as you can define useful keybindings.

And imho dynamic tiling is the wrong approach. Automatic rearrangement of windows never works well in real situations that just don't fit a small selection of fixed layouts. Not sure why static tilers are so rare, but Gnome offers static tiling and is very polished, so I guess that's why I like it.

I would be surprised if every initial appeal isn't deflected by automation, as first step, just to fend off "annoying users" and get rid of those who don't care.
I program backend Java Spring CRUD stuff. I love learning (and building) niche languages in my own time but I would always be suspicious of using these in real production. Need a really compelling case not to use something boring that just works when your job is on the line.
Where can I read more about what these changes mean?

If we assume that nullptr and auto mean the same as in C++ then what problem does nullptr fix in C? In C++ i can understand the need to use nullptr to distinguish between overloaded functions. Is the only use of nullptr in C to know what the type of an auto variable will be (which would be funny because if you care about what type it is you wouldn't use auto) or why would you need it?
I bet you would get similar results just putting your container of coffee in an ultra sonic clear type deal. Probably a lot cheaper then buying picosecond pulsed laser
Forcing users to acknowledge their sins on a platform, when none are committed, is an issue. It reminds me of struggle sessions.

I will use an extreme case (unrealistic) to prove the point: If you were forced, every day, to say 'XXXXXX cereal company is the best in the world, and they are greeeat.' before you were allowed to eat your toast, you will eventually start to believe this. Ok, maybe not you - but humanity isn't as strong willed as you are perhaps.
Ask HN: IRL env variables that make you easy?

This is not a good take. First, it's not true that the most popular club has a monopoly in any meaningful sense. But even granting you that farcical premise: any "monopoly" effect is on a city-wide basis and does not scale, and does not trend towards global winner-take-all outcomes that social media does.

Yep, I don't believe many would be the quintessential ideal candidate to extract wisdom and most would yield sporadic valuable insights, particularly if they're not adapting well into their advanced years and excessively in discord with changing social norms. It could be a matter of parsing through insights to separate the valuable from the archaic.
I believe fungi aren't too fond of caffeine.
I think that for the vast majority of threat models, the insecurity of having your own signing certificate (it needs to be hot if it's going to be automated) is not much different from the risk of not having secure boot at all. Also, the effort v. security balance.
My Twitter account has been suspended multiple times, the last time for an obvious joke. As with the article author here, Twitter reviewed my appeal and denied it. https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/twitter4.html

In the end I caved, giving Twitter my phone number and deleting the tweet, because I need my Twitter account for professional purposes. But now guess what, there was a data breach, and hackers are selling millions of Twitter user phone numbers and email addresses. https://restoreprivacy.com/twitter-vulnerability-exposes-5-m...
If you intermingle finances or kids or property ownership then you have all the problems of a divorce except no legal framework to handle them in. Which makes for an even worse splitting process rather than a better one.
I do not have one at hand, but you should find this in almost any guide. It is not complicated: If you insulate 3 walls and leave one wall untouched - this wall will always be the coldest. That means the water contained in your air will condensate always at this wall (because it is the local minimum), resulting in mould and mildew on this wall over time.

Now, there are all kinds of solutions and they all have caveats. As someone said here, old houses are build so that walls are semi-permeble, meaning that heat constantly wanders to the outside. That also means that the dew point is pretty far towards the outside in winter - water can get out of the house. If you insulate the inner wall, the dew point will move more towards the inside, meaning your walls will get wet and water will take longer to move outside. If you insulate the outside, water cannot get out at all - you must find another solution to get the moisture out of the house. It gets more complicated the more you dive into this topic.
How is it a problem in the case that you can fairly easily rule out the model being a person by any useful definition?
There is an equilibrium point beyond which mass protests and regulations pressure start. Every company is iterating and optimizing to find this equilibrium point, and then stays slightly behind it.
I’ve had 4 engineering jobs in 5.5 years. Two have been Elm/Haskell jobs. It took a couple of months of light searching to find my current Elm/Haskell job.

Setup alerts on job sites, join appropriate subreddits, Slack teams, Discord servers, language-specific job sites, etc. You will find a lot more jobs than you might expect.
Not everybody's divorce is like this. My ex and I went through voluntary mediation and came to a mutually agreed settlement, with shared legal custody.

We just both recognized that the process was about separating our lives, not resolving our feelings about one another. And that's pretty much always why it goes wrong - people want to use court proceedings as a substitute for therapy.
Perhaps, but I've cold brewed black tea enough times with moldy results to forewarn y'all.
Are you sure that prepaid debit cards are in the best interests of the contractors? There’s a bunch of consumer challenges associated with pre-paid debit cards, so you may find you’re doing your contractors a disservice. Have you spoken to the contractors to understand what’s best for them?
I've said it elsewhere in hnn today but I can say it again - I simultaneously think you are right and wrong.

* These global services are de-facto public squares and forcing people out of them is to the detriment of humanity.

* Private corporations shouldn't have their property stolen/appropriated by calling them public squares.

I am a human and that lets me hold contradictory thoughts. I don't know a way to fix this.

Sorry, you are right. Perhaps I meant continuity.
I think this is true: sentience is hard to recognise (to the extent that "sentience" has any tangible meaning other that "things which think like us")

But I think with LaMDA certain engineers are close to the opposite failure mode: placing all the weight on familiarity with use of words being a familiar thing perceived as intrinsically human, and none of it on the respective whys of humans and neural networks emitting sentences. Less like failing to recognise civilization on another planet because it's completely alien and more like seeing civilization on another planet because we're completely familiar with the idea that straight lines = canals...

I stopped drinking for a month. In that month, there were multiple times when someone offered me a drink, I politely declined saying I’d given it up, and then the other person did not drink either. Hard to say for sure, but it seems clear to me these folks would have indulged if I had.

It was surprising to me how socially-controlled this behavior seemed to be. The paper’s conclusion rings true to me.
