Demand for being judged by one's peers is Magna Carta level stuff, and it's also in the American constitution, so people clearly cared about it for centuries. You can see why in principle: the judge is a government official, and with your peers you should have more room for maneuver. I don't think that ensuring that judges are impartial and actually apply law is a solved problem at all. That "other countries manage without it just fine" is a big assumption, ignoring possible corruption and any number of pathologies.

I live in a no jury country and I would probably feel a tiny bit safer with a jury of my peers, even being aware that this also has plenty of flaws. (That being said, I do prefer European inquisitorial system of justice over the adversarial one -- the latter is present in Anglophone countries and prefers reaching a decision over establishing the truth of the matter.) Even in Poland, the hamfisted "reform" of justice that is fought over with the EU does have some nuance to it. The government wants to control the judges, which is obviously against any sane separation of powers, but the public perception is that the previous system of judge corporations was also corrupt.

I do think, at the face of it, that all jurors should be made aware about nullification.
In general I agree, but details are important here. I don't disagree that progress is important, I don't disagree that everything requires some prerequisites, but I don't agree that being novel or hard to understand is positive on its own.

I also don't agree with her mentality "I don't write it for average people, because they won't understand it, so deal with it", because even most complex and advanced knowledge can be understand by average person, if that person puts effort and someone offers support, but instead she prefer to put herself in group of people that believe that their work is so great that only greatest minds can understand it and others should find something more ordinary.

You can either create "great" content and brag how great, hard and mystic it is or support others in understanding it, let them formulate their own opinions on your work and create positive community around it.
> so why even mention it

To emphasize and focus the reader's attention on a particular property of money the writer would like to highlight. Money has many properties, and emphasizing the relevant one helps the writer to communicate their meaning more clearly. It also helps to express the writer's frustration at the printer manufacturer's behavior. In that way, it serves much the same purpose as the irrelevant adverb "sadly" you added to your parenthetical aside.
I think you can use `brd` or `ramdisk` (NOT tmpfs) to eat up 48GB of ram on the newer machine. Just make sure you actually write data to the disks so that the memory is allocated.

That should be an easy way to do an apples to apples comparison and not require shipping any hardware.
Do you have even a single piece of evidence to back this up?

I think less blatant racism or classism in the verdicts would be better. In the US there's no shortage of examples of poor people of colour getting far more severe punishments for crimes for which rich white people get minor punishment or barely a slap on the wrist.
Battlezone (the 1998 version) was also a pretty good game for the time: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(Computerspiel)
a very different take on programmable rts is https://colobot.info/ (perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colobot is a better introduction)

this is a very old game that has seen an open source release (including free assets) somewhat recently.

the original game is fully playable on modern platforms; lately some multiplayer features were added that look quite a bit of fun.

this is an early-noughties 3d rts, with the twist that all units (including the enemy, though this is obscured during normal gameplay) run user-editable code that can be changed in-game.

the rts campaign is supplemented by exercises designed to introduce complete beginners to programming (e.g. write a maze solver or a waypoint-driver flight controller).

the genius is, in my opinion, in that the affordances and fidelity of the simulation is such that controlling e.g. a flying flighter is fun and accessible.

do give it a go -- perhaps with your kids.
the parents comment just doesn't make any sense.

if your partner is unattractive to you, then why did you choose them at all? there must have been some attraction at some point, and if that attraction got lost, it's only fair if they try to win you back. if you are not willing to let them do that and any further attention puts you off then you should break off that relationship right there. but while you are in a relationship, it is not common sense that they should accept that their attention may be off-putting.
Autorouters are generally bad at: routing related signals together (often important for performance), routing power (especially high current traces), prioritising sensitive signals, keeping sensitive signals away from noise ones, and often somewhat suprisingly coming up with any solution at all or coming up with a solution that passes the tool's own design rule checks. Some of this is bad algorithms but a lot of it is because the autorouter is not given enough information. You can specify some of this to most autorouters but it's not super easy, and that information does usually change between projects. That's part of why I think improving the state of the art is in large part a UI problem.

Another big part of why the autorouter might underperform is it's entirely subject to where you've put the components, whereas a human will generally do placement and routing in parallel to at least some extent. Placement is if anything the harder problem in PCB design and there's no systems currently that really combine the two operations (there are auto-placers but they're generally even worse than autorouters, for similar reasons of the requirements are complex and hard to specify).

In general these kinds of systems run into a bit of a catch 22: in order to use them well you need to have enough experience to do the job yourself, and be able to effectively evaluate the output. But when you have this you find it's faster and easier to do it yourself. And expecting it to be helpful for beginners is a bit like expecting github's copilot to be a shortcut for beginners: the tool is going to throw out bad results sometimes and the beginner is not going to be able to evaluate that or know how to fix it.

Like I said, I think there's room for improvement here, both in terms of interface and in terms of algorithms. But it's far from non-trivial. As for TopoR, it does look like one of the better options, and I really like that it's challenging the 45 degree orthodoxy which is basically a relic from limitations of early PCB CAD which is sadly still solidified in the tools (even in a modern PCB CAD tool it's hard to route something at an arbitrary angle, and it tends to break routing features like push-and-shove), but I haven't had a situation where I've been looking to try it myself (part of this is PCB routing takes up a relatively small portion of my time: if I spent 70% of my time doing it like some specialists I would definitely be spending more time trying to optimise it. As it is it's about 20% of time I spend designing PCBs and I spend less than half my time at work designing PCBs).
And the first shot is always right on target anyway. One just has to aim better.
Compared to the aircraft it replaced, it's actually safer and much more capable.
That's not how I read it. And in any case, that is a common attitude/misconception about spaced repetition, which disillusions many people after they realise they still need to put the effort in to make it work, so it's worth pointing out.
Okay, so the idea is to get a math book and convert the definitions in it to flash cards?

Also, a jury needs a near-unanimous, or unanimous verdict to convict. All it takes is a few pro-lynching jurors, and the accused flies free as a bird.
The submission is classic Reddit typical, to be fair. So one should expect a HN user to respond appropriately. I expect the submission to be flagged or at least not be visible on the front page in a couple of hours.
How does this compare to https://github.com/wtfutil/wtf/?

/edit: I wish these kind of projects would add a compatibility layer to pre-existing modules of competing libraries. That would jump-start adoption, instead of having to re-invent every single module again.
SEPA gets me most of Europe, and open banking lets me use bank transfer rails for online purchases.

What’s wrong with share bank details? You can’t do anything with them, except send me money.

Most countries have similarly capable local payment systems. The US is the only developed nation I’m aware of that’s missing such basic financial infrastructure.
I had an old Soviet-era made excavator digger standing on my property. It was standing out there long enough for trees to grow through the cabin and way above it. We cleared them and put a little grease here and there and it started like charm.

Another random example seems to be a Remington beard trimmer I had which recently gave up after nearly 20 years of service.

Edit: I guess we should make an honourable mention for the Opportunity Mars Rover.
Because there's an old convention that then got written on a paper, that now says "a jury of your peers".

In terms of end-to-end "justice system" problems the inefficiency of a jury is a small problem. (As most cases never even see a courtroom. In criminal cases due to plea deals, in civil cases due to settlement, etc.)

Technically anything can be interpreted in two different ways by two people, so even if the judge gives very precise instructions to the jury, they still have a lot of freedom. (And this led to finding murderers not guilty, because the victim was black.) But a bunch of lawyers can be racist too, so that wouldn't have helped much.
That is a great idea. Can I pick that 1%?
Well, car magazines were there before the internet. I still buy one. I've always called them "car porn".
I think you meant “non-US centric post”. Most of the world has equivalent financial infrastructure. The US is notable for complete lack of cheap basic money transfer mechanisms.
It’s the job of the legislature to fix the laws and make them aligned with your idea of justice.
It was never simple. I remember having to use CPanel, connect via FTP, and drag files in.

It was harder then.
> Looking at C++ alternatives there are languages like D, Rust, Nim, Crystal, Beef, Carbon and others.

Why do people keep lumping Rust into the category of a "C++ alternative". Rust is a C alternative and can be used places that C can but C++ cannot. i.e the linux kernal and baremetal silicon (C++ can be used in the embedded but I've never heard of it being used without modification for that environment).

> My language (C3) is fairly recent, there are others: Zig, Odin, Jai and older languages like eC.

Further he seems to claim that Jai is a C alternative when it's explicitly described by it's creator as a C++ alternative.
Irony being, one of the biggest benefits for me of the M1 power consumption is that it can run quiet and smooth even with all the corporate spyware on there. It can even run MS teams along side that and docker too which also permanently consumers 100% of one core, while still staying completely silent.

It's crazy to think you have these opposing teams of engineers, the Apple ones working away to optimise like crazy to reduce power consumption and the compliance software teams thinking up new ways to profligately use more.

It makes you wish you could perform basically a threaded taks, compile this, execute it, with these parameters or mouseclicks, then produce the results and offer to jump to the last place in code you changed for this.

One problem is power draw. I figured out I can use an old phone with a removable battery without the battery but I still need a battery to power it up. However,if I do certain things that I presume need a burst of energy (wrong term?) that is enough to power cycle the phone. At least that's my guess because flash doesn't work.

Also do not use an old phone with a battery with screen turned on, capturing photos on repeat. The battery WILL swell up. It may take a few months but it will happen. Don't risk it.
How do you find out that it doesn't work?
The problem with making a new language is that it seems like people do it because they want to make a new language. Don't make a new language just to make a new language. Do it because you are solving a problem by doing it, and if you are solving a problem, you already win regardless of how many people will use the language. Have the problem before you make the solution.

> It turns out that people don't always agree on what the pain points with C is.

People have different problems so they should probably use different languages. Don't even try to make a language that will solve everyone's problems.

> Also, while the company has experience recruiting for C developers, it doesn't know how to recruit for this new language.

If the language is so hard that people have to have special knowledge to use it and can't learn it quickly then it's probably not a good language.

> For a business it's whether despite the downsides the language can help the bottom line: "Is this valuable enough to outweigh the downsides?"

Exactly, it's solving real problems that matters.

> The "build it and they will come" idea is tempting to believe in

A better idea is "build it and we will come because we need it. Then maybe other people will come if they need it too."

The fact remains that virtually all systems except perhaps old low-end phones now have more than one thread. Not going multi-thread for anything that makes the user wait leaves significant performance on the table.

Low end systems (4 threads or less) have less potential, but they also have the most need for speed, making multi-threading quite important. And high-end systems have more threads, so going multi-thread makes a bigger difference.
Do they use Fo(u)rtran in production?
A note is a tool. It works great if like op there's little overlap between spouses routines, so they can still feel each other presence.

It's not what's going to save marriages on it's own, because it is useful in a specific environment.

When I'm away for work, I always make time to call family morning and evening, so we can keep up with our wake up togheter and spend evening togheter kinda routine. It is both specific to the situation, the family and the context. It'd be silly to call home when I'm home, as it'd be silly to say that this will save someone else marriage.

Heck, marriage doesn't even mean the same thing to different people or has the same meaning across cultures or even within the same culture across time!

Normative approaches to marriage are almost always doomed to fail precisely because of this, and that's also why counseling is largely a personalized process/experience.
Short of an encounter with a runaway truck, most of us will spend our final years in pajamas and slippers looking at a screen. Want to start early? Be my guest.
The linked article has quite a few cracks that show, but this is just straight up ramblings of a crazy person. Is this the sad outcome for people who don't know how to write but get addicted to "hustle" influencers and SEO scams?

Also none of this sounds at all Christian.
Check out 1 Corinthians 7:25-39 [1]

I've heard there was a time, ~2000 years ago, when people thought the second coming of christ was so close they were only being asked to be celibate for a year or two, and marriage was only there for people who couldn't manage that.

How does it compare to Blender (in terms of quality of render) ? I ask because ray tracers have progressed so much that I don't know how to compare them anymore...
There is no "mutually assured destruction" in sub-nuclear weapons. If you're in the Northern Emisphere you might be lucky and never be shot (this does not apply to North America), but if you're in a poorer country, you're not safe from being bombed or in the mid of a war. How did this MAD you're talking about help any Afghan children?

It's called mutually assured destruction, not one-sided nor with exceptions.

> The M1/M2 laptops are so above and beyond anything from AMD and Intel that it’s almost a joke.

This may have been true when the M1 was just released, but the gap both in performance and power consumption is shrinking. And that's with the competition still being one process node behind.
You mean they use the microphone in my iPhone to tune the speakers? That'd be interesting!
Thought of this. https://existentialcomics.com/comic/13

Regardless of whether one accepts the arguments in the comic, I doubt willpower can be trained. It's not like a marathon where you have to actually run to practice, every day you're faced with decisions and temptations that you can "exercise" your will power with. In a sense you can't really stop practicing with your willpower...

What if global poverty was easy to solve and world peace could be achieved within three decades? What if it required no change in human behaviour, no micromanagement of hundreds of thousands of problems, no need for charity nor donations, only two minor reforms that are internationally competitive?
Agreed - while interruptions are a problem, a dev who refuses to engage with the wider team is also a problem. It needs some active discussion amongst the team to balance where to draw the lines.
I'm also developing in Rust, with a 12th gen i7-1270P. It's an absolute beast; I'd say it's on the range of 2x speedup vs my previous laptop (11th gen i7).

I have no idea about power consumption yet (the laptop is a couple weeks old). On light load, the laptop easily crosses the 8h mark but it won't, certainly, when grinding rust compiles. The M1's power efficiency is on a different league.

Hmm. Never thought of this. Can you provide a link discussing these? I have no idea, economics is not my background and this sounds relevant.

These circled London for hours when Trump visited a few years ago. We couldn't get our baby to sleep for the noise. We lived in a top floor flat and had roof access (giving an amazing panoramic view of the whole city) so I went up there and gave them the finger.

Actually even code, which has never been deployed can have great value as an exploration and learning vehicle. Education and experience of employees is one of the most valuable resources an employer can have.
Just curious, I have an SC800 (the model has been discontinued). I've used the printer (fairly lightly) and not run into issues (yet anyway). Not real clear what limits to number of prints or other EOL criteria you've observed. Interesting that up to now haven't heard/read about such problems.
"I would turn it off" - the AI has countered your move in ways we can't predict. Something with super human intelligence will exploit weaknesses in our containment strategies we haven't even imagined. Here are some I can imagine though. Has it copied itself elsewhere using an entirely novel air-gap bridging method? Has it already paid someone / coerced people to do something seemingly harmless which actually results in it being run elsewhere? Has it said just the right things to the right people to ensure that if it is destroyed it will be built again in the future?

Exactly! And because you can't create a substring without mutating the original value, you see that C code often needs to resort to unnecessary copying as well.
But if the BMC is compromised, then basically all the protections you put in place to seperate its connection from the host are useless anyway, since the BMC can easily masquerade as the host. I can see why it's a good idea to restrict access to the BMC itself, since it's a likely quite soft target for exploits, but once it's exploited, there's not really much benefit to restrictions which target the BMC specifically.
I don't think that's very robust. The entire image could easily be fake, as the face is fake, and people already have fake backgrounds. If the entire image is fake, there's no reason for the actual camera's view to match the fake image, so a wider angle camera would keep you in view as you move, and the system could generate a tighter fake view.

It mainly helps adoption, so in a way you are right, it’s not a problem for current users… but it is a problem for industry (as much as I deplore the reality that such a superficial familiarity bump detracts so many people).
This Dafny thing seems absolutely cool. I didn't check the details but a 30 seconds read tells me that if it could generate rust code (it can Java, C, so it's not unbelievable), then we're in for a better world !
