Yeah, but you need to know what changed, so you need the relevant IDs.
I use the french layout at work and the U.S one on my imported (from the U.S) laptop. It hasn't been a detriment either way. I've also typed with a french keyboard using the U.S layout or inversely for convenience, occasionally. Both have worked fine with vim, even though I find vim pointless (unless you're sshing into a remote machine).

I have to say, the premise is wrong, you don't need to learn touch typing to be serious about programming. A good programming hour is 60 lines of code (heavy generalization, don't nitpick pointlessly), you don't need to type fast, you don't even need shortcuts or macros or whatever fancy IDEs or editors people spend endless time arguing about.

Don't make the mistake of doing the things you find satisfying (buying books, nice keyboards, customizing your IDE and OS for ultimate productivity, ...) instead of the things that are actually productive and hard: Actually programming something.

I'd recommend listing the things you think you have to do to be serious about programming, and plotting them on a 2D graph where the x-axis is how hard they are, and the y-axis is how much better they'll make you at programming. That will make it clear what you must do.
The healthtech industry, from my experience in Canada, still primarily works on custom Java apps running on desktop. Most of them are trying to switch to the web too, though.
Ask HN: Google for Summarized Results
Nowadays, many posts/articles are long (for SEO). More often then not, my searches are about every specific thing, and the answer could easily be a paragraph.

So I started Laste, the goal to be a search engine, but the results are summarised (a paragraph or 2)

Would you be interested in using some like that? What's your thoughts?

In case interested, you can subscribe here https://laste.co

Thanks!
I don't think anyone is proposing to eliminate support for --hash-style=both. Correct me if I'm wrong?

So at this point, the maintenance burden on glibc is however much effort they want to spend justifying breaking backwards compatibility.

There's no reason Americans can't buy scales.

I got mine for $15 at Costco 10+ years ago. You can still get them from Amazon or Walmart for less than that.

> It may also be that US measuring cups are "more convenient" sizes than the equivalent metric ones would be.

When measuring out flour, I don't use a measuring cup at all. I put a bowl on my scale, hit the Tare button to zero it out, then add whatever number of grams of flour I need to the bowl.

> For flour, they often specify "sifted" which removes some of the variability.

That's gotta be awkward to sift into a measuring cup.
> It doesn't really excuse the abrupt removal of the compatible hash table format without at least a deprecation effort ahead of time.

I strongly suspect that the reason for the "abrupt" removal was that it wasn't expected that anything would break: that table is used for dynamic linking, and the dynamic linker comes with glibc itself, so it can be assumed to understand the new table (and the dynamic linker which comes with other C libraries would be used to load these C libraries, and not glibc since you cannot load more than one C library in a single process). AFAIK, the code in the dynamic linker which understands files with only the old table wasn't removed, so from that point of view, compatibility was being kept.

That is, they didn't expect anything to be using that table without going through dlopen() and dlsym().
P.K. churned out much of his work in an amphetamine haze driven by then need to make money as writing was his sole means of support. I think a lot of California dystopian writings can be attributed to the overuse of amphetamines. The Summer of Love was destroyed by it as the phrase that emerged at the time was "Speed Kills." Joan Didion wrote about it "Slouching Towards Bethlehem.'

On the other hand I'm a optimistic utopian, so I may be inclined to minimize and disregard dystopian writing.

Where P.K. Dick really got me is in "How to Build a..." [1] in which he's very interested in the nature of reality and open to the idea that it is far more fungible than we think and in fact there may be a greater intelligence at work in the Universe that arranges reality in such a way as to communicate to the participant who is paying close attention. It doesn't scare and depress me to think that I don't have the control I thought I did and am mostly along for the ride. It's also exciting to think "more will be revealed"

No need to worry, it's already happening. While I have not withdrawn anything (yet?), I stopped publishing new code to GitHub. I can't be the only one.
I‘ve bought a ten less US layout qwerty keyboard (Keychron K3) for my programming work.
There is a neat feature on macOS to type ‘Umlaute’. Just long press vowels and you can choose from all possible variations of the vowel.
I’ve also build a custom Helidox Corne keyboard, but couldn’t learn the new typing system… (https://thomasbaart.nl/2018/11/26/corne-keyboard-helidox-bui...)
No, just different definitions of "usable". Although it's worth noting that an average test is testing stuff that even the most advanced type system never could.
I wonder if some form of solar thermal battery made from in situ resources would be effective for a moon base. 6.5 days in sunlight is a long time to get a large mass nice and hot and you don't have a problematic atmosphere (or wildlife) to deal with. Not trivial, but I wonder if it would be cost effective than sending up reactors or nuclear batteries.

Using lambda doesn't protect you against any of these.

Timeout attacks: instead of failing you'll now be just be paying through the nose. And also with enough scale you can hit lambda limits and fail.

URC-KBL pre covid was about 1 hour per hour.

For 1 hour differences,

SI6604/5 between Jersey and Rennes is scheduled for 40 minutes and crossing a single zone, so 1.5 hours per hour.

In the US, South Bend Indiana to Chicago is only about 90 miles, but is scheduled for an hour, and has a 1 hour difference. Driving is far faster.

Flying between the diomedes is a 21 hour difference for a 3 mile trip, although I wouldn't advise it at the moment, a helicopeter could presumably do the trip in a minute or two, with a difference of about 100 hours per hour.

If you're willing to walk instead of flying you can cross 2 hour borders instantly quite easily at many places in the world. 2.5 or 3 hour differences probably exist too, but the big one from Afghanistan into China or 3.5 hours is not really a something you can do.
Yeah, that's the thing. So very many years ago when we started using HTTP/2 at LinkedIn, we simply just couldn't find a use for server push. It was a fascinating meeting. We got this technology, no matter how much we tried to use it, couldn't come up with a use for it. I still remember how awkward that meeting was to this day.
Off topic of thread, though to answer your question about micro payments for content, Brave browser and BAT are doing this.
Sometimes, I like to stop and think about all the amazing things that we can do with our phones and that we take for granted.

What I do is to imagine myself finding a smartphone in elementary school (90s kid). These are a few things that would blow my mind:

- Having a digital global map, with multitouch, that can show me where I am in that map. I can search anything and find reviews from virtually anywhere in the world. I can zoom and see my actual house. I can use street view.

- I have access to any song I want.

- The phone can listen to a song and it can tell me the name of it (then I can listen to it again)

- I can play video games with much better graphics than my N64

- I can watch movies and TV in there.

- I can video call

- I have a digital assistant

- I can find any answer online

- I can buy anything online

- In the future all this technology is not just for the rich, virtually anyone can buy a smartphone.
But the only real way to be sure if something is a good idea, especially in complex distributed systems such as the web platform, is to try it out. And when you try it out at scale, standardization is very important. The alternative is to have everyone using new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") because you have a non-standardized thing that's rapidly turning out to be a good idea.

The purpose of a standardization process isn't to stamp approval on good ideas; it's to ensure interoperability. Server Push was a plausible idea. It very much could have been a good idea. It turned out not to be, after we tried it in the real world for many years, but that's okay. And we know one thing for sure - the reason it didn't work wasn't that people were afraid to use a nonstandard X-Chrome-Server-Push extension.

I have to believe that much of the reason for Apple buying Shazam was to know what songs piqued people’s interest. That type of data has to be valuable.
As if global crop failure will not be a recipe for inflation
In this analogy, Wal-Mart isn't happily selling other harmful chemicals for a 30% cut, so I don't think your metaphor matches up with reality. I don't trust Wal-Mart to make my decisions for me in the first place, this scenario would be entirely circumvented if the government just had a list of all the chemicals you're not allowed to sell. Why do we need to let private corporations be the authority on which chemicals are harmful to sell and which are not?

But of course, Apple will fight to the death avoiding regulation. US authorities don't seem to care, but the EU is getting pretty pissed off.

> Africa has probably 60% of the world's arable land and is extremely fertile.

That is completely untrue.

Looking it up [1], Africa has 219.2 million hectares of arable land as of 2007, compared to 1,406.5 million worldwide. That rounds up to 16%.

I can't imagine where on earth you're getting 60% from.

And if you've been to Africa (or looked at a map), you'd know that it's fertile only in certain parts. The cause of food shortages in Africa are very often that the land within economical transportation distance isn't producing even close to enough food in times of drought. And the idea that you bring up genocide as a major reason for famine is nonsensical.

Quite frankly, you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about.

This sounds like a nice idea, but in a world where people have limited time off work, they're going to pay to get there the fastest way possible.
I use an Irish keyboard layout (physically identical to a UK keyboard layout, just some extra dead key combinations).

It's sometimes annoying when video game consoles tell you to use ~ but they've mapped it to the raw keycode and you need to use ` instead, or with syntax that assumes ` is an easy key to type (fenced code blocks, looking at you), but it's not worth fighting years of muscle memory to change where I know quotes, @, # etc. are. If I was to put that effort in I may as well learn dvorak or something.
I was just wondering if the youtrack UI is so bad because it was generated from code rather than designed. I guess this is an explanation.

It’s pretty unlikely that sha2 will ever broken in a way which actually has a meaningful security impact to bitcoin, especially considering that almost every value in the system is sha2(sha2()) which nullifies a lot of attacks against hashes which need careful control of the input. Some newer tools in the system use a single hash (it’s unclear why a double one was used in the first place), but all the same it remains highly unlikely.

Complete breaks of ECDSA are likely to be devastating as many keys in the data are re-used hundreds of thousands of times, but a weakening of it can be mitigated by moving to a new signature standard, which isn’t even consensus incompatible due to the upgradability built into the script language.

I care about only the biggest most influential events and try to filter as much noise as possible. Just think about what news you can remember and if they had effect on you from 4-5 months ago. My guess is about zero.

Stories about volcano eruptions, wars, record-high inflation, and presidential elections outcomes make it into memes.

Abuse of State power is the only offense I would endorse the death penalty for.

There is hardly anything worse. An individual is fairly limited in how much harm they can do (unless they control a biggish corporation). A public official abusing the power of the Federal Government can blight the lives of millions.

That said, people in control of corporations casn do enormous harm, and the go-to treatment of this malfeasance in the US is to fine holders of the stock at the time a conviction loses its final appeal, with no prosecution of company officers at all unless they defrauded stockholders. That is seriously messed up.

All the executives of pint companies that poisoned millions for decades retired untouched.

Apple releases security update after revealing devices vulnerable to hackers
I think you’re trying to argue Apple’s definition is contrived, but I don’t see it. Buying identifiable information from a poorly regulated data market is very unlike personalizing ads based on first party data.

Apple isn’t trying particularly hard to hide that it personalizes ads. It puts up a modal telling users about it and giving them a choice in the apps where it advertises. I’m not sure why you imply that Apple is fomenting confusion.
Bevy and Fyrox aren't anywhere near the level of Godot. I understand you're speculating they might be in the future, but I don't see the compelling case compared to other barebones engines.

I configured iOS in such a way that nothing gets passed into iCloud.

I don't trust Apple to keep my iCloud safe from prying eyes. I have 2FA turned on on my Apple ID, but still there is that chance that the data could be gleaned. Then there is the issue of iCloud data being unencrypted which sucks.

Particularly for British/Irish keyboard layouts, macOS tends to misbehave and decide that the keyboard is ANSI (it isn't) and that there is a layout for "British - PC" that fits that is just the US mac layout (I guess it's just the default in macOS), so I like to touch that option in macos as little as possible because it does the wrong thing 7 times out of 10.

It's a moot-point. Switching away from AdSense isn't going to protect you from surveillance, it's just going to change the pool of customers buying your information. All your iCloud data is a few clicks away for most NSA employees, and I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that they also have root capabilities on your iPhone. No matter how you slice it, Apple isn't going to give you privacy. The data you hold near-and-dear is already in adversarial hands. The game is lost before you even put your chips on the table, that's the consequence of agreeing with TOSes for more than a decade. Nobody wants to admit it, but privacy is literally unattainable in a digital era.

What Apple sells is security. They do a fairly good job with security, and their whitepapers are almost industry-leading. Their commitment to privacy is entirely lip service though, and the volume of their marketing seems to indicate the emptiness of that promise.

That's the one actual value of bitcoin / cryptocurrencies: we can be fairly sure that no one broke the used hashing algorithms (1). The valuation of these coins is such that not just any individual, but even a state actor would just go for it.
