> a brand new perspective

I wouldn't have had a brand new perspective if I was a Windows user who upgraded (like Windows users who you know).

I'm essentially saying:

no Windows experience -> Windows 10, looks pretty decent

different Windows experience -> new Windows is terrible

(I have no idea what Windows 10 "Influenza(TM) marketing bullshit" is.)
Exactly, thanks for staying level headed beyond the knee jerk reaction. I’m more speaking to the metaphorical prod needed to move the public.
Chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster, which is a herpes virus. Which is why it can linger and re-emerge as shingles decades later.

Similar symptoms, substantially different family trees.
Compilers follow the "as if" principle, they don't have to literally follow the formal rules given by the standard. They could implement #embed by doing as you say, pretty printing out numbers and then parsing them back in again. But that would be an extremely roundabout way to do it, so I doubt anyone will actually do it that way. Unless you're running the compiler in some kind of debugging mode like GCC's -E.
Aluminum production is also tightly coupled to electricity production, so cheaper power could lead to cheaper aluminum in a positive feedback loop.
Ha, familiar. I decided I wanted the pdf of my dissertation to be reproducible and hence packaged it with Nix.

You can use the Edit Chart Data button to change the date range.

The "Unknown" is the weirdest part of the chart, with inexplicable rises and drops. I expect that's just a data gathering glitch and may actually be some Windows.

Anyway, about 3/4 of the change was Mac. The 2nd biggest gainer was Chrome OS. And then a tiny bit of Linux and Unknown, but mostly Mac and Chrome.

Moon encampments need to be clean rooms with respect to the outside

It's a little like being underwater in a dome. If you see stuff from the outside inside, there's a dangerous leak.

I used Awesome WM for years but now use GNOME exclusively. It looks great, works intuitively, isn't resource heavy and with Wayland is super smooth.

I used to tile terminal windows but now do everything in tmux. I spend 95% of my day in either browser or terminal.

What does a complete engine rewrite mean ? Is it just a new renderer with deferred shading ? Is it a bunch of new gameplay tools ? Is it a start-from-scratch thing ? (Which would be absolutely stupid).

Game engines are more of an ecosystem. Yes, the community is a thing because the devs seem to be a small indie group that uses Godot so they can ask for assistance, but Frostbite does not have such a thing (well, maybe internally at EA), and yet noone would say it's not an engine. As long as, through an upgrade, your engine keeps the same way of working and you're familiar with it, it is an engine as a whole. UE and Unity are two different engines because the workflows are different. But UE4.0 to UE5.0 is still the same engine, you won't take that much longer to get back in the groove.
You're right, it does work on macOS.

What other cool use cases could it achieve besides checking if a domain is reachable?
I love clojure, and would love a clojure job, BUT my hesitation comes from the companies choosing clojure or any niche language. Choosing a niche language seems like a very risky move, to me. My fear is that that its a small company and someone senior and technical (CTO?) just wants to have fun in a new cool language because they are bored.

Don't get me wrong, I also want to have fun in a new cool language because I'm bored, but that's not a good decision for a company to pick that as a tool.

Anyway, I'm worried that the culture is not entirely practical in their technical decisions, and that's my hesitation.
I am curious too what % of those who contract the virus, seemingly easier than it used to be caught, have been vaccinated with the mRNA shots (how many shots, and how recently their last shots were).
Didn't we try behaviorism out until in the 50's we decided this notion of "context" was either too small or too intractably expansive to be useful, let alone explanatory, and that it was necessary to start thinking about internal cognitive processes instead?

> And when I say truly, I mean for platforms without file systems

Are we're really talking about compiling on such platforms? And if that's the case, how would #include work but not #embed?
It's not "want", Twitter (or youtube, or facebook, etc. etc.) can't in a million years afford content moderation because of the sheer firehose of content. They'd literally have to employ everyone on the planet to get enough moderators in every language for every tweet, post, video, etc. on the platform.

And then only one company would have enough moderators. Moderators are a finite resource, there aren't even enough humans alive to moderate all content on all platforms.

But, the law goes "well figure something out, you have to moderate", and now we've by law guaranteed that whatever solution that gets implemented to follow the letter of the law is going to be shit, because it's by definition going to be automated content moderation, and given the volumes involved, it's modern neural-net based because that's the only technology that's even remotely shown it has an over 50% success rate.

Well done, us.
Maybe. It’s possible that the interconnectivity of the internet will cause future generations to be less rigid. One can hope.
Understood. But then people would be able to evaluate their worth, and if smaller it’s possible that “small, tailored companies” might be able to thrive or survive without being killed or consumed.
This is a trait of an employer that I consider a red flag. If they don't understand that most programming languages are pretty similar, and can be picked up quickly by any willing person, they probably don't understand a lot of other things in regards to tech
I still see way more windows laptops. In fact I have never even seen an M* based Mac. 15% seem a bit high to me.
I sometimes fine tune new language models on the HN comment corpus for fun.

It generates comments arguing that ML models are just parrots.
You’re referring to Quick Look, which if I’m not mistaken is included with Dolphin on KDE. There are several options for GNOME, and it works by default on Pop!_OS.
Which is fine.

Because if the company has no physical presence in a certain country, they can basically ignore their laws, because what’s the country going to do? Block your website?

In the UK, macOS + iOS combined overtook Windows (even by a little, but still).
That's nice and all, but this is almost meaningless. For 25 years, we've had monthly articles in the Microsoft-funded trade press about how Microsoft has all the market share for computers. The implication, as always, is not to bother buying a Mac, or, eww!, using Linux. All of these numbers, for over 2 decades, have been buoyed by corporate purchases, and mean nothing. As as Unix sysadmin, and one of the most-ardent Linux zealots, inside a Fortune 250 in the late 90's and early 00's, even I had to admit that it would have been a mistake to deploy the majority of the "corporate fleet" with anything other than Windows. But if you could ever excise the corporate purchasing data out of these numbers, I think you'd find that Windows has less than 50% of the PERSONAL computing market these days. Maybe even closer to just 25%. I base this on personal observation. Almost no one I know uses a Windows-based computer for their "computer" needs. I've posted about this before, to crickets. If we could get personal buying data from, say, Best Buy and the like, and leave Ziff-Davis and Gartner out of it, I think I could prove it. But I'm sure they're taking money from Microsoft to continue to put the numbers together, so we'll never get the "internal" numbers to figure it out from them.
The color green is an adjective humans usually use to describe their visual perception of electromagnetic radiation between 500-545nm.

Unfortunately, I suspect such a search engine would start getting lawsuits about being uncompetitive once they start excluding sellers/spammers. Even if bogus, it's gonna bog things down real bad. They're good at abuse, it'd not be surprising.
Actually more like P(fraction of humans sampled did this | given context X). Which deprives the model of viewpoints, cultures, thought patterns, means of verbal communication not ostensibly on the internet. Given the ills and change in human behavior that came with the advent of social media, I think at best it would be a distorted model of humanity; and at worst, a morally shambolic one.
It's weird how your first answer contradicts the second

Your assumptions about vacuum cleaners are fine. Do remember that it's sharp glass powder that immediately embeds, so that won't work

I see that you have imaginary beliefs about how much work cleaning is. NASA says differently.

Pretending consciousness doesn't exist or that it has no function I think reflects poorly on someone who studies human behavior.

Last year I backed a project called Osma. https://drinkosma.com/

It uses acoustic cavitation to extract flavor and caffeine from coffee without any heating in about one minute.

I use it every day and I like it. I love the strong flavor of cold brew, and my stomach appreciates the lack of acidity. There is a learning curve but if you're a HN reader, chances are the amount of experimentation required to dial in your version of perfection is an upside, not a downside.

I paid less at the time, but today the kit is selling for US$695. Note that as with all things coffee, it's only as good as your grinder. I ended up pairing my Osma with a Sette 270: https://baratza.com/grinder/sette-270wi/
Your parents house was built in 1749. Do they pay the equivalent carbon tax to own a house like this? Unless it has been hyper-modernized, but the exterior remains old/ancient, I struggle to understand or support your argument.

More brutally: If you parents want to live in a house from 1749, should 1.5 billion people (probably more!) in South Asia be forced to live in unsustainable conditions (much high average annual temperatures) for the "history" of your parents' house? Absolutely not.

In contrast, if you support massive gov't subsidies and personal taxes to pay for the upgrade of these homes to 21st century energy standards, then... sure, no problem, they can live in a home from 3000 BC!
Article: "Yes, you read that right. Square Enix is choosing to make its NFTs — a technology known to consume exorbitant amounts of energy contributing to wildly increased emissions and accelerating already out-of-control climate change on a planet that is either on fire, drowned, or melting — out of characters it created who were dedicated to stopping companies from doing exactly what an NFT facilitates."

....

Enjin protocol: "a Proof of Authority blockchain that runs on five nodes that consume 30,000,000 watts per year.

This will allow Enjin Ecosystem creators to mint NFTs on a network that consumes ~0.000002 of the electricity of the Ethereum blockchain."

The authors should've done a little bit of background check on how different Enjin actually is rather than just assuming everything.
If it disfigures you just the same as monkeypox, is it a distinction with a difference?

C is pretty much the only language in common use for programming microcontrollers. Microntrollers seldomly have filesystems. To break the language on systems without filesystems or terminals means to break the software of pretty much every electronics manufacturer out there.
What’s the problem? I always thought most of these systems will fail closed not just randomly explode if not maintained.

Sure, I don't seriously expect C to embrace that, even though I think it'd be worth the effort I'm sure plenty of their users don't.

For auto I think the argument is that if you poke around in real software the storage specifier was basically never used because it's redundant. That's the rationale WG21 had to abolish its earlier meaning in C++ before adding type deducing auto.

As I read it, N2368 (which I think is what they took?) gives C something more similar to the type inference found in many languages today (which gives you a diagnostic if it can't infer a unique type from available information) whereas C++ got deduction which will choose a type when ambiguous, increasing the chance that a maintenance programmer misunderstands the type of the auto variable.

However it got inference from return, which I think is a misfeature (although I think I can see why they took it, to make generics nicer). With inference from return, to figure out what foo(bar)'s type is, I need to read the implementation of foo because I have to find out what the return statements look like. It's more common today to decide we should know from the function's signature.

This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that N2368 says auto won't work in extern context, so we can't just blithely say "This object file totally has a function which returns something and you should figure out what type that is" because that's clearly nonsense. You will have the source code with the return statements in it.

Bit tangential and perhaps meta but, did you lose faith in humanity reading your own comment? You did mention all those things in single paragraph. Just kidding.
For me the problem is that while I really like the idea of a library of fun tools, I would normally go weeks or months without getting in, so paying dues is tough. If they were low, I'd be fine with it, sure. The other model I have seen is to offer a 'month pass' but those are usually steep (which I guess might apply a little pressure on me to complete a project instead of half-doing it and leaving it in a pile...)

“Mass dispersal system” is a euphemism for “chemical weapon”, right?
The components are a concern of the engine and the game code, not of the editor. There is nothing preventing components from talking to each other when a generic editor is used. Have you ever played with Unity? Their modular design is generic enough to allow different components to be connected to each other.

Not to mention that interconnection between components is often also achieved via code inside each component (example: gameObject.GetComponent() in Unity), which is not really the concern of the editor, but rather of the engine and the game code.

> Getting this with a bunch of libs glued together is simply impossible.

I really don't see what "bunch of libs glued together" has to do with my comments at all. Are you sure you answered to the right person? Are you answering to the article in general?
That’s fair. I hadn't drawn the relation between this topic and others until this thread. For me this is probably the most interesting realization.
I find this argument way more dubious than GP.

You're hiding a lot of qualifiers in phrases like "power user", "some types of text", "these types of tasks".

What is a power user?
Exactly which types of text can't vim handle as well as other editors ?
Exactly what types of tasks rarely occur?

"Proper" refactoring and context-aware selection are absolutely possible with a properly configured vim (or neovim) install, all while remaining free, open source and I daresay quite a bit slimmer than any Jetbrains IDE.
Being unable to control your peripherials is the most irritating thing ever. Cannot copy music on an ipod - need to use buggy itunes that update every time you want to use it.

Macs have a gutted version of Excel (MS will always gut it to make Windows sales better) - I wonder what kind of work people do if Excel barely works.

The website also does not seem to show who took the market. At first I thought they maybe count Android.
> Arrogant comments like this really make me wonder why people are still putting work into open-source projects.

If they hate it, they can stop. Work on a project that has a higher proportion of praise if they need to. Work on proprietary stuff.

edit: Trying to guilt-trip people into not having strong opinions is not going to accomplish anything, though.
I think this was posted as a sarcastic/ironic thing.
>but the expectation is a little strange given that the plants themselves spread and grow in places that cannot be regulated by the developers. Thus someone could subscribe once then cancel but still grow the crop.

1. As mentioned before, what isn't applicable to hybrid crops. If you try to collect the seeds of hybrid crops and try to plant them, you'll get the seeds of the parents, which aren't going to have the attributes you're looking for.

2. I take it that you're also against copyrights? After all, you can theoretically buy a blu-ray once, and copy it infinitely.

>Further, people who didn’t subscribe could end up having some of the crop spread onto their land then could unintentionally grow it without permission. This has sometimes led to attempts to either force people to pay for services they didn’t agree to or to destroy something growing on their own land through no fault of their own. In those cases, non-customers are actively penalized for their non-participation rather being left alone or being incentivized to try product through positive means.

>> I'll keep dreaming of a world where headlines are about the 1.5 million confirmed deaths caused by diarrhea globally

But that's not news. That's well known. Also, generalising 'news' makes no sense. Of course news sources from certain countries will focus on news that effects their readers. Deaths from diarrhea are of little relevance to the readers of any 'western' news source.

I'd say that's probably because we made an information system change very suddenly so most adults in the Gen X+ generations were basically soft-locked out.

A lot of our cultural problems come from the fact that we have millions upon millions of people who have gotten online in the last 10 years and a new generation that's grown up in a radically different information paradigm. There are just way, way fewer 'adults/elders' than 'kids/novices' online, and since so much of our lives and culture have moved online, it's a shit show.

I'm 34 and I was one of the first people to be raised with the Internet in the modern sense: I had continuous, assumed, free (in the sense that I wasn't censored) access since I was 4, but among my cohort there's very few of us. Even people who did access the Web in the 90s as children often didn't have a modern experience: Most other online Millennials had to access the Web at school, with adults looking over their shoulder or had some really strict controls that were more possible before everybody had a smartphone and the time they could spend online was restricted (you had to have some really nerdy parents to pay for unlimited Web access in the 90s). I tried deriving approximate numbers once and on the high end there MIGHT be a couple thousand of people my age with experience/context to offer advice to current younger people. And the numbers get worse as you go older: Before at home Web service existed, the only people who could really grow up online were academics' kids. So you're getting into 3 or even 2 figure numbers if you go back to Gen X.

SOME of the gay men survived, there just weren't enough of them to be an actual generational resource.

Same thing: There ARE people out there with the socio-cultural knowledge, but there's about ~5000 of us compared to over 100 million relative newbies, based on American numbers. Luckily, the numbers should level out as the 100 million newbies grow to have 20+ years online and start growing a culture and heuristics to deal with it.

There's also that, much like the current generation of gay 30 and 40 somethings, that those of us who were in the first few generations of kids who grew up in the digital age (and therefore have a first-hand understanding of how your informational models evolve differently through puberty, adolescence, young adulthood, etc) had zero guidance when it came to 'pay attention to these things; future generations will care' since most of the adults online pre 1995ish were mostly just there to play with computers or be nerds.
The real stinger is that there's no legal requirement to compensate someone for wrongdoing. Ban someone by accident, and then in a "review" uphold the ban despite overwhelming evidence? That should be a fine, paid out in part to the wronged party.

Of course, if you're using that much memory (with imagemagick), once you begin to parallelize and do batch conversion, you fill your memory super quickly, you begin to swap, and then the conversion times go through the roof.
