True, but going "Yolo gut feeling" can also be a way to stop being stuck and forcing to make a decision.

I think OP will be happy with whatever they choose to do, as long as they choose it and being worried before making any choice prevents them from truly trying to do something.
Harder than having the build toolchain produce an OCI artifact directly.
I'll pick on Wordle or Among Us. There was something about pandemic times that made those work, but they could have been done any time in the past 10+ years and gotten less attention. Among Us even predates the pandemic. It was just before its time, but not by too much.
"usually" by whom? "High control over memory" doesn't necessarily mean doing anything "unsafe" with it either. That term could allow for "unsafeness" yes, but it is not solely restricted to that. High control could just mean adding extra annotations about the access, or not having padding in a struct, or specifying the alignment, or many other things, none of which may be classed as "unsafe".

It's just a matter of legalities. Even if you share it openly, it doesn't change its copyright status. Unless you offer a licence or make a statement putting it in the public domain (this doesn't work in all jurisdictions), it remains proprietary.

Of course that doesn't matter too much because you're not going to sue people who use it, but it can still have potentially significant consequences for people who use the code.
At some point this year Audible also stopped letting you see the price of audiobooks in the Audible app, you also can't purchase books without using an Audible credit via the App.

It's clearly so that people like me who save credits and only use them on $22+ books have no idea what a book actually costs without looking them up. I buy anything under $12-15 with cash since credits are basically $12, at least in the 3 credit bundle.

Jokes on them though, now I buy even less books and stick to my unread library more nowadays.
Yes! All decisions are subjective. I do not think it is exclusive to software engineering, let engineering alone. There are two questions you can ask about any decision.

1. What should I do right now to solve this problem?

2. What will I wish one year from now that I had done to solve this problem?

The first one is relatively easy and won't see much debate. It's the second one which is complicated and the reason for debates usually, because you have to predict the future. All bets are off when you try to predict the future, nobody can do it. The best we can do is to let wise old men take the decisions with the hope that they have seen enough little more of the past and that the past sometimes repeats itself.
Each writer can get its own branch but you would never be able to re-combine them.
He says he's a journalist. That used to mean something.

So it's rather dismissive and disrespectful to characterize him as an ordinary person with scare quotes no less.

If these platforms feel unable to moderate fairly due to fear of foreign governments, perhaps they should tuck tail and keep their pussy selves out of the conflict entirely.

I'm not impressed with an argument of "We want the money involved but we can't make any meaningful effort to actually enforce the rules we claim we have. Your country is too tough for my sissy self to man up in. I still want the money though."
There is growing regenerative agriculture movement that focuses on small farms. Especially works of Richard Perkins - his slogan is even "Making small farms work". He (used to) make living from 10ha's of land in northern Europe. Key was to have multiple small enterprises in the same farm that support each other, and which don't require big investments. Also selling goods straight to customers is important so there's no middlemen eating your profits.

The original paper clearly states one is supposed to keep the size of the piece of semiconductor and package constant. This is important for the cost argument which is featured predominately in the paper and is really the heart of the thing.

No one is doing that. I'm trying to explain to you that you might get more milage (learning more) by using a different approach and then giving you an example from my life. If that doesn't work for you that's fine. Have a great day and good luck.
This is typical but poor gymnastics which grants benefit of the doubt to brand loyalty. Manufacturers hold no such belief, they are beholden to standards to cater to a wide variety of configurations and setups. Implying it's not made for users is poor form, and simply false.
For drawing shapes I tend to just use Inkscape.
Leafy greens have drug interactions too, just to give another example. Ask your pharmacist about interactions with foods and supplements!
Something happened this year with Twitter's internal moderation policies. They seemed to have completely stopped enforcing the rules.

I've reported many open bigots calling for violence against the group(s) and/or people they hate. Twitter used to ban people for promoting violence. They don't anymore. Not a single one of the posts or accounts I've reported in the past few months has been banned unless they reached a threshold of other reports that triggers an automatic ban.

Moderators either aren't doing their job or don't exist anymore.
Austrian ISPs Block Cloudflare IP addresses after apparent court order
This is what I have seen at Amazon.
What should Twitter do in this case? You say "their damn job", but their job is to apply their content policies, which they say they are doing. Given only the tweets linked in the article, I can see how a moderator would look at them and not find that they are obviously breaking any rules. They may be false accusations, but Twitter has not agreed to do independent investigations of every report by a user, or take on the responsibility of trying to guess hidden motives of the accused. Twitter moderation is not a sanctuary, or a refuge, or a crusader for justice, it's a pro forma box-checking policy and never claimed to be more than that.
I lost my android phone in the park on Thursday afternoon. It was in an area around a cabin selling hot drinks and some food. I went back but no sign of it and the cabin was closed. Tried again the next morning and they had my phone! I was overjoyed but it made me think.

I had logged it out of google and had the chance to stop the SIM - but getting it working again sounded long winded so I didn't.

They said they looked for emergency contact numbers, but I didn't have any set up. I didn't know you could do that, but I have added them.

I later found a call to it I didn't recognise, but realised I had a business card with the phone which they had tried to contact me with, but just called the phone they already had.

All in all I think I was so lucky and they were magnificently kind. So far as I know there is nothing on it I couldn't get back, but I realised that having personal information with it was probably not actually a good idea. I think I am ok with the emergency contacts because I am getting old and may need to be helped one day. I probably should have put a stop on the SIM. Not sure what else I should have learned.
The organs made by the Silbermann family are tuned with non-equal key spacing. And those are among the ones Bach played on. So if you play the same notes on a digital organ, or on a keyboard, the harmonies won't work as intended.

Native Instruments also offers to switch the tuning mode for their virtual/digital instruments, BTW, so that you can compensate for that in software if needed.
Why not install it through your package manager?
I just checked, it's embedding the Google Ads tag so you are right. I probably just didn't see it because I'm using NextDNS, forgot about that. Google does not just inject ads without the page owner setting it up.
Yep, any place that has garden supplies generally has it. That’s where I got it when I was a kid anyway, as that was years before Amazon’s existence.
Well, I need to be on statins forever. No doctor ever told me about interaction between statins and grapefruit. I totally googled at random one day about grapefruit and cholesterol and tangentially it was mentioned (the dreadful interactions with statins).
Well, GIMP has been one window for a while. The tool panes aren't separate windows anymore.

>Are international sanctions laws just? Should the US government have the right to bar other countries from transacting financially with the world?

Yes and yes. With being the #1 super power country in the world, a lot of power comes with that.

Griffith could have avoided ever being in prison had he not ignored the US government, lied to FBI agents, and then attempted to assist NK in evading sanctions.

He thought he was so smart yet he was so dumb.

So every day for 40 years she would have read and thought carefully about that warning label, so that finally when it became relevant it would save her? Unfortunately not: we humans cope with the enormous stream of information pouring relentlessly through our senses by ignoring almost any unchanging signal. In industries requiring constant awareness for rare events, such as piloting highly automated aircraft or scanning luggage for bombs, we've learnt to present constant challenges (fake alerts, etc) to keep the operators paying attention.

But the once good, now bad neighborhoods can't buy the now good neighborhoods in monopolistic fashion; the analogy doesn't hold up with economics.
> I profiled the whole thing and discovered several things. First, the view provided by the selectable object was completely recreated with every redraw. I gained some performance back by caching it, but things remained barely usable.

That... is exactly the same thing with React. You don't notice everything is redrawn until suddenly everything is unbearably slow. And then it's useMemo etc. galore.

I'll withhold my judgement on SwiftUI for now though.
>A Japanese person won't even dare, because they are taught to clean up regardless of a janitor.

Great, but this contradicts your other post that seemed to be claiming that bathroom shaming specifically was the solution the bathroom problem, which the parent was rightly incredulous of as how it actually works in Japan.
> A warning would reduce the lethality of neglect and forgetfulness.

There's so many warnings and small print already. Just like terms of services and cookie banners on websites, nobody is reading them any more because we have warning fatigue.
When I run that C code, it takes 67 ms. But the following C++ code:

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <cstdlib>
int main()
{
int fd = ::open("/tmp/numbers", O_RDONLY);
auto end = ::lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
char const* in = (char*) ::mmap(
nullptr, end, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
char const* inpos = in;
char* out = (char*) std::malloc(end), *outp = out;
for (int n = 0; inp != in + end; ++inp) {
if (*inp != '\n') {
n = n * 10 + (*inp - '0');
} else *outp++ = ((n & 7) + '0'), n = 0;
}
*outp++ = '\n';
::write(1, out, outp - out);
}

takes 61 ms. Go figure. I guess the realloc calls are costing you.

I am kind of surprised you have a machine that can run as slow as yours does. Is it RPI or something?
I strongly suspect that this is not the full picture.

I had this exact same issue, two displays, always connected to the same TB3 Dock, and they would randomly get re-assigned after wake-up. Which in my case was doubly irritating, since one of those is in portrait mode, so "fixing it" required tilting my head to be able to navigate the mouse correctly.

There's a small CLI utility called `displayplacer`[1], that basically fixed this for me. I don't... really know what exact EDID fields or whatever metadata it's reading, but after I used it once to "save" the correct orientation/placement, I could reset it to the "correct" one every time after that. Highly recommended if that's something you're struggling with.

Despite being solid state, SD cards have horrible random read and write speeds, worse even than HDDs. They're made for storing media from cameras, so it doesn't matter.

Maybe RPis do OK cause they just load the system once, maybe even sequentially. I also keep a card in my MBP. It takes forever to write directories, but it's good enough to store Xcode etc only cause the RAM caches things. Torrenting Ubuntu onto it was unusably slow. I expect it'd be unusable as single-level storage.
Show HN: Coaster Credit Tracker Extension
An extension I made where you can use the roller coaster database rcdb.com to keep track of any roller coasters you have ridden.
I dont understand why the model does not all allow for object permanence. Like when a car right next to you keep disappearing in and out the model should never allow that. Same as how the model should never allow for a light to go from green to red instantly. Same with pedestrians disappearing, the model should create a pedestrian when detected and track relative positions even when not actually visible to sensors. Without that kind of thought human drivers would not be able to drive either
Odin and Zig solve almost all the memory safety aspects, except for use after free. Having bound checks, union types, etc. is good and a real improvement over C, but I think that use after free is a memory unsafety issue. It's the one that's harder to tackle because it's more dynamic ("temporal memory safety"?).
Apparently a copyright holding company (“LSG - Wahrnehmung von Leistungsschutzrechten GesmbH”) managed to convince a court to block IP addresses. Something which in this form wasn’t done before.

However since those are Cloudflare addresses there is a ton of collateral damage.
May I ask what [dead] means on HN?
I have a lot of respect for this developer’s patience. Back when I was a solo developer, these types of issues were death by a thousand paper cuts. I didn’t have the skills to deal with the amount of support and debugging these kinds of problems entail. And it’s especially frustrating when the answer ends up being “It’s due to how the manufacturer of this monitor just didn’t properly implement the spec and there’s nothing I can do to fix it.” I can’t imagine writing software where this is the norm! So kudos to the developer!
I used to use Heroku, it was a great experience. This is sad. I can no longer deploy low-traffic apps for free on Heroku.
Before ryzen 3000 chiplets, CPU were everlasting, with failure rate of essentially 0 percent. AMD Ryzen 3000 chiplet failure rate was at least 5% first year and they keep degrading at astonishing speed.
Like 90% of mid to high end GPUs from AMD and nvidia produced before 2016 already dead, soon you will have to thoughtfully test CPUs to understand if its condition is still acceptable.
You can buy 15 years old cpu (which is 4 core 64 bit btw) and expect it to work like new.
Something that appeals to me about this device is its potential durability. New versions of the Steam Deck will come out, but the supply of new games for older versions such as the first-gen won't stop coming out in the Steam store. This is not really the case with other devices like the Switch, which is eventually going to be out-phased.
Because Apple only sells Apple devices, not chips. AS parts can only be found in the Apple ecosystem and can only be bought exclusively within devices Apple sells, while the other part (X86 from Intel and AMD) can be bough by anyone, run almost any OS and SW to date, and be used in any design/application you can dream of from laptops, PCs, servers, consoles, mainframes, cloud datacenters, robots, planes, even inside Tesla's head unit, while AS is just in a few Apple devices that don't overlap with most for the segments I mentioned before.

One silicone part has an impact over the entire computing sphere, while the other is relevant only within the Apple ecosystem. So bringing up AS in all threads about generic computing chips that anyone can buy directly is pointless as Apple does not cater to that market.

That's like me bringing up how fast my Ferrari is in threads about utilitarian vans and pickup trucks. Sure, they're both cars, but they don't compete in the same segments, so Ferrari making an even faster car has no impact or threat on the market of vans and pickups.
Yes, recycling is possible, but so far it's almost not done because it's still far more expensive than mining... Perhaps a day things will be different, but seen the actual progress I'm not such optimistic...

About hydrogen... Well... How much it costs an hydrolysis plant with relevant compression system and storage PLUS the needed fuel-cell to use it once milked? Personally I've already spent for a new house, with relevant not-that-cheap systems, heat-pumps included, who might last 10 years as well (compressor), in the near future an EV who might last 10 years but 5 to 8 seems to be more realistic... Adding the price of a smaller house to add hydrogen start to be REALLY expensive. Long story short: if the Green New Deal demand such big investments I think just 2-3% of the total population in the western countries can afford it, witch does not make anything ecological just for mere scale. If we try bigger scale... So far I see nothing really big (beside old scams). Yes, some p.v. plants pops up continuously but they are small in classic PP scale terms and just grid-connected systems. Only a handful of projects do differently around the world and seems to be in a really early stage of experimentation...

I have nothing against pay to be a pre-alpha tester BUT there is a limit for that honestly...
Yes, because the phrase "software engineering" is just a euphemism.

As a discipline and an industry, we don't have (or use even if we had) objective measures for things like code complexity, effectiveness of design patterns, when we should use or not use them. Like in the arts, some scientific and mathematical concepts are useful, and in fact form the foundation of software - but what we do is definitely not a science, and not engineering.

It's also an unresolved question whether "engineering" is the right approach to software development.

IMO, most successful software projects are "grown", and only in a lesser sense designed or engineered. And many projects fail due to being "over-engineered", whatever that means - but we know it when we see it.

One of his complaints is they clearly don't know what the hell is going on in Pakistan and this is a root cause of their mishandling of things.

It is a completely reasonable criticism.
Thank you for the additional information and correction.
I imagine the quality is pretty low with the number of menu items that single batch of cooks is trying to make. When you read about struggling restaurants trying to make a comeback, a common theme is an attempt at simplifying the menu so that they can focus on a core set of high quality dishes, as their menu had gotten bloated and thus the average quality of a dish inevitably declined.
It's crazy really and I think one of the biggest problems our society has. Young innovative people don't have access to land as entering into the farming business requires big investment and thus capitals most people don't have access to. And it's not very attractive to take a huge loan and enter into a business that is already hard and where margins are low. Same time the suicide rates of farmers are 60% higher than non-farmers and the trend is upwards [1].

Well, your argument inspires some thought... if one guy made Photopea, why don't a couple of FLOSS devs just copy it? (as a separate project, not as part of GIMP)

Not common sense that grapefruit interacts with many meds. Signal to noise is important, but grapefruit interacts with enough to be notable. Someone would become aware that would've otherwise been ignorant:

A couple of those I didnt know, how kind of them to provide this helpful overview.
Try not to worry about how you've spent your life up until now. You likely have many, many years left to live your life and focus on the things that matter to you.

I used to think similarly, lamenting mistakes made and time wasted in my earlier life, but as I get older, I now look ahead to eternal oblivion, and realise that in the grand scheme of things these concerns aren't really important.

I just try to use my time as best I can now without being concerned with the past, knowing that my future could end at any moment.

Time spent wallowing in regret is also time wasted.
> You can't fix stupid

True, but you can fix bad design.

I have a chronic ailment and take medication for it. Every single box comes with that strip of paper with important information.

The problem? It's tiny, extremely dry and technical, and is barely readable even by someone who wants to understand it (me).

There's absolutely a need for making more readable pamphlets. Until anybody cares the manufacturers will just put in the bare legal effort, and patients may suffer.
Maybe someone here can explain the following weird effect:

My previous laptop (an HP EliteBook, the exact model escapes me at the moment) had an issue with Linux drivers where it would sometimes crash. When it crashed, the laptop's screen would quickly flash bright-dark-bright-dark... To my eye it looked like one garbage frame with mostly bright pixels and one frame with mostly dark pixels.

Nothing weird so far - just a driver bug right? The weird thing was that when I rebooted the laptop after such a crash, the screen brightness would still slightly, but visibly blink in the same pattern, while the monitor was showing normal boot screen and later the login and desktop. The flashing would get less and less noticeable and kind of ring out by itself after a few minutes. After that the monitor was just working as normal.

I can't think of a good reason why the monitor would keep blinking like that after a reboot. The best explanation I had was that perhaps some kind of adaptive algorithm for image postprocessing in the LCD driver had rolled off into an extreme and needed a while to get back to normal parameters. But it seems unlikely anything like that would have time constants in the range of minutes. The other possibility I thought about was that the blinking after a reboot was just a illusion created by my eyes, but I found that unlikely. I never saw anything similar.
They can, they just have to let it lapse first. Same as it's always been with GoDaddy, why should they make an exception here?
