Very interesting. In my retirement I've spent the past five years helping refugees get their foot in the door (mostly Syrian and Afghan students/recent grads, but about 20% have a lot of experience). This year has been brutal, we shut down in August because everything dried up.

We worked mostly with lingering start-ups who failed to launch, mid-tier companies, and small companies. It all dried up, or the requirements shifted a tier (before mid-level was 3-5 years, now 5-7. Senior positions are basically looking for people with Principle / Staff engineering credentials). Of course, YMMV, we were navigating very specific situations which worked out well for people who are otherwise discriminated against / out of luck for finding work.

Also, anecdotally, the salaries attached to the stream of recruiter spam I receive in my personal e-mail have plummeted. Maybe this is good, smaller companies will be able to hire more staff since salary expectations are lower?
YouTube removing the dislike button counts has made that problem worse for me. Fortunately the chrome extension seems to have brought it back for now.

You still need at least one trusted core/chip, you need trusted comms to it (eg. it needs an embedded, or securely programmable secret/privkey, and it needs to be able to run some kind of crypto, key exchange), and then you are still left with wondering what the other cores/components are doing. Who is leaking/sniffing/corrupting data, when, and how...

So what we need is compartmentalization and a blessed central core ... and that's hierarchy anyway.

Yes, of course 99.99..% it's a forgotten fuse or whatever legacy junk. But apparently some folks believe there's is a business model to be built on that last 0.00.. :)
You expected a startup to solve all problems all ADM/Intel have created? That seems like expectation going out of hand.

As he says in the video, what is important is documentation. Their code will serve as open documentation for a lot of those details.

Sure with the next version there will be some changes, but likely much of it will still be the same. And when they upgrade their product they will have to integrate those changes.

For 'stock Linux' to boot like that it would need to add those same low level drivers and I don't know if there is a reason the phased approach shouldn't work on linux.

The hope is for many companies to do this and demand this documentation so that with each new version these things will quickly find their way into the open source software. This is now happening with coreboot where multiple companies collaborate on new CPU generations to get it in before the hardware is even released.

But with fireware there is never this amazing solution anybody can do unless the manufacture simply does it. Its sad but its the reality.
You're out of date, CNN is under new ownership who are turning it into a center-right news channel.
We're not really talking licenses here. The very definition of "open source", according to OSI, is: "Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance."

Elasticsearch meets the above definition.

The permissiveness of the modification and enhancement is a different topic.

Probably, but these are external dependencies. Whether they are python dependencies or not wouldn't change that.

If someone writes "no external dependencies except Python 3.10" I'd expect that thing to run out of the box on any system that has Python 3.10 on it. The developer promised after all that this was the only dependency.

When I realize that there are in fact a heap of external python modules you need to install, I loose a lot of trust in the proficiency of the project.

No external dependencies means that you just use the standard python interpreter and you maintain all the code you are using (outside of what the language provides). No external dependencies speaks of a willingness to go the extra mile to reduce size, make the thing universally runnable and easy to install and to avoid having random (potentially unchecked) code running inside your project. So it is a statement to make.

Most projects I work on have external dependencies, but I: A.) try to keep them to a minimum and only rely on vetted and tested ones and B.) I don't claim there are no external dependencies

Better is also such a subjective feeling - please either quantify the improvement or don't present it as an objective truth.

> There is no possibility of commercial quantities of lithium being extracted from seawater.

Lithium seawater extraction is much more likely than a green hydrogen economy! In practice, it gets more practical as you couple lithium extraction with other processes, like desalination. In fact, if you manage to get hydrogen production from seawater going, extracting Lithium from the byproducts will be quite economical.

> You have swallowed myths and fantasies of your own.

I pointed it out only as a response to your equally absurd statement that hydrogen fuel is "fully renewable and in abundance". Clearly, Lithium fits just as well.

> you are unwittingly admitting that hydrogen fuel cells are a viable technology for transportation purposes.

Certainly not. Fuel cells could certainly become practical for transportation, but HYDROGEN is not, with or without use in a fuel cell, and that's true for the several reasons I've already very clearly outlined.

I guess I’m not surprised that if self-obsessed people lacking nuance and empathy grow in number everywhere that they are also present on HN. Just look at the wording. I’ve noticed them more frequently as of late, in threads regarding war, death and suffering.

Furthermore, to claim a severely depressed teenager is a fully-formed person doing something “of their own free will” betrays fundamental ignorance regarding what depression is, as well as how teenagers function.
When the polyp has been nipped, it is gone. If you have a colon with no polyps (left) in it, you should be safe from colon cancer for at least a decade (how long polyps take to develop from mutation into a tumour).

> Invited or not, if you don't show up to a colonoscopy you don't get one. Which means the study's data on invitations alone cannot be used to evaluate the effect of colonoscopies. Seems the study does provide data that allows this so, and shows clear differences in cancer rates and survival rates for those that did get colonoscopies.

This is not an oversight on the part of the study designers. It's called "intention to treat", and studies are done this way to get past the problem that, when you invite a bunch of people to get colonoscopies (or tell them to comply with any medical procedure), the people who go through with it are statistically very different, in all kinds of ways, from the people who don't. This makes the direct comparison of "received treatment" vs "didn't receive treatment" mostly meaningless.

You're here advocating for everyone to ignore the study and do a direct comparison of "received treatment" vs "didn't receive treatment".

Don't do this.
The caveat with sports is that for many of the sorts of athletes that win major leagues/tournaments, prize money is not their only source of income. As an extreme example Roger Federer recently went over a year without playing a single game and still earned an estimate of $90 million during that time.

The caveat to my caveat is of course the winning a major tournament also significantly increases all those other sources of income.

> Because you're also more likely to act on early warning signs and get a cancer diagnosis in time to treat the cancer rather than die.

This seems to imply we should discount all treatments because people who choose to get treatment are more likely to get better, coincidentally by the same amount as the treatment's efficacy.
Good examples of high-density living are not found within the EU. For this you should look at f.e. singapore.

Exactly, the cheapest and fastest way to get a book in Germany is most likely your neighborhood book store on the way back from work. (And if they don't have the book in store, they can order it for the next day.)
They probably have logs for manual investigative activity, and took the site down when you kept re-running the payload.

Also, please don't execute payloads on your laptop. That seems really stupid.

Apparently they did tell you, and you’re not interested. Fine, but what a pointless comment. Rob Pike will also tell you how he loves coding without syntax highlighting, which you apparently find useful.
But isn't that a completely unfair comparison?

"Yeah, if you disregard all the poor people that struggle to stay alive, us rich people are generally much richer".

I think your exact statement is probably true. Because most European countries tries to distribute wealth in such a way that everyone gets to live, with food, healthcare, education and housing. And naturally that means that the 50% wealthiest in Europe are less wealthy than the 50% wealthiest in the US.

But the 50% poorest in Europe are much wealthier than the 50% poorest in the US.
Gave up after paragraphs bashing "lamestream" media. Just give us the story.
That's a great system that you have in Germany! Does it apply to used books also?
so, doesn't look like it's finding the cheapest. You should probably check against amazon as a sanity check. (I was ignoring shipping, here)

Do you take shipping into account?
I am not doing this, I'm saying the study cannot be used to say colonoscopies don't help.
> Immediate hostility and belittling attacks strike again.

Nothing about that comment was belittling or hostile. It was a bit snarky, but with very good reason, and did not name its target.
I could see connected vehicles making autonomous driving easier. If more people in the vicinity are informed of the variables feeding an impending disaster, it becomes easier for autonomous vehicles to avoid “human-tier” difficult problems—the information bubble acts as a sort of damper. Maybe?
I grew up with the Icelandic layout. When I started programming professionally I taught myself the en-us layout and stared using that instead. It is much easier on my hands and fingers; it really does show that the people who came up with the syntax for most of the programming languages in use picked things that were easy to type on a US layout and didn't give any thought to the rest of us.
> I just wish there was more authenticity to the fit and purpose of things.

This is so vague. Can you say how you're relating this to dayjs? How is its purpose inauthentic?
Why would that be a goal? First you'd need to show that colonoscopies were helpful in general, or that invitations were going to a subpopulation in which colonoscopies were helpful.
Stating your living conditions without naming rent/mortgage, income and location isn't very useful. Average Joe can't find a place in most cities, and educated, young Europeans are struggling to earn median while being pushed to work in the cities.

European cities also aren't that dense, generally speaking. Building high is an exception and only pushed recently, in places with infrastructure already present.

A civilization capable of building von Neumann probes would likely be much more advanced than ours.

Chances are all life that we see in our solar system has been planted by a passing von Neumann probe. The odds that this life develops into a technological civilization that builds more probes eventually are deemed high enough.

Perhaps even more so once the technology has advanced enough to discover and decode the forefather's message in all DNA...
My life is full of regrets and nostalgia.

When I was studying for Master's in Sweden about 20 years back, I had a crush on an Austrian girl. I was so timid and had lack of confidence that I never asked her out due to fear of rejection. In fact most of the decisions and I took and still taking are influenced by fear of rejection.

I know how to live a happy life theoretically but don't know how to implement in the real life.

Sometimes I feel life had given me quite a few opportunities and squandered them

This is true for Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or any other religion that has happened to be caught in the political machinations of the enterprising state.

I am reminded of St. Brigit [1], who was a Celtic goddess who was co-opted by the Catholic Church. Her pastoral associations have stayed intact, with the cultural 'need' for the deity protected, the co-opting makes a lot more sense.

Mughal Emperor Akbar's effort to synthesise Islam, Hinduism and other Indic beliefs to great Din-i-Ilahi [2] is yet another prominent example of hegemonic powers using their social clout to increase soft power by co-opting the beliefs of the locals.

The Millet system of Ottoman Empire [3], was geared towards 'respecting' local customs, personal law and protecting local systems of authority in lieu of their support to the Ottoman yoke. This was later adopted by the British in India and their other colonies, where they went to great lengths to establish Madrasas (Islamic education centres) [4] and Sanskrit colleges [5] to further this.

People have an idea that the suburbs were this magical place where you had cheap housing, fast commutes, large gardens and a family of 6 children.

Just because you see it in a sitcom doesn't mean it's true. Or to quote the guys who did the big bang theory: "We went to the apartments of real physics post grads and they were too depressing to put on television." The same was true for suburbs in the 1950s which could be afforded by a family of four with only the father working.

Even if only a third if them work it’s enough. That’s the point about nukes, they provide egregious overkill.

Really?

You cannot simple compare the outcomes for the people who got an invitation AND got the procedure done with the outcomes for the people who didn’t get an invitation.

You need the compare them with the people who didn’t get an invitation BUT would have got the procedure done if they had been invited.
> I am reading prop1A, and it seems to propose that 9.95 billion is enough for a 800-mile railway.

What you linked to is the “argument and rebuttal”, which has…very little information, one way or another (though even there, both the argument for and the argument against clearly indicate that the bond issue is not the whole cost, the former noting “Matching private and federal funding to be identified BEFORE state bond funds are spent”, the latter indicating a potential $90 billion system cost.) The “analysis” has, as one might expect, the actual analysis, including this:

“The authority estimated in 2006 that the total cost to develop and construct the entire high-speed train system would be about $45 billion. While the authority plans to fund the construction of the proposed system with a combination of federal, private, local, and state monies, no funding has yet been provided.”
We used to have a similar price-fixing thing in the UK called the Net Book Agreement [1]. Thankfully it got repealed and books became cheaper for all.

Played around with a bit. In my experience compared to a configured vim:

- once you have your local language servers available it works quite nicely out of the box. syntax highlighting, file finder, lsp navigation, formatting, etc. just works

- its fast

- i really like having the order of selection->action instead of action->movement

- im still missing some features like a navigation tree and a quickfix list or something to do project wide find/replace.
Part of the problem is when regulation and incentives push to make it so only Bentleys are profitable to make.

My friends owns a house on five acres in a city in Montana. They wanted to carve out an acre or two for their adult kid to build on. They must put in a road, sidewalks, connect to sewer, and city water even though they are on a well and septic. Light poles, geologic surveys, and wildly expensive permits. They were not prepared for over $200k of development and fees before even laying down the house foundation. Now the land stays empty. The land itself is sellable apparently for several hundred thousand dollars. A developer would be insane to buy and develop the land and sell a house for anything under a cool million.

Originally they thought they could spend about $70k and let their kid build. Nope.
You have to look at it from the perspective of medical practice.

The hypothesis is that inviting people for a regular check up reduces mortality. If a lot of people don’t take up the offer because the procedure is too invasive, carries some risk, etc. then that is a very relevant variable to take into account. Vs, for example, fecal testing as mentioned in the article. It could have a lower precision, but if uptake is 100% instead of the ~40% for colonoscopy the outcomes could be much better.
But if they are buying their bonds to prop up the price of... selling bonds? that seems like it wouldn't really accomplish anything, as they would probably just be losing money on the spread of those two simultaneous actions.
> All of this hassle would be pointless unless you consider one important platform: Windows, where you don't natively have Make anyway. [...] You may still argue that this project still requires GCC and thus there should be Make even in Windows.

I think that is a very good argument though: Windows doesn't have MSVC or any other compiler out of the box either, it is up to you to install the requirements so having Make as a requirement - especially considering how standard it is - is perfectly fine. Using something like MSYS2 gives you a Linux-like shell with all the tools you'd expect there.

There is no real reason to require Node aside from the author wanted to play around with it, the functionality that tool provides can be provided by other existing tools (Autotools, premake, CMake, meson/muon, etc) or even GNU Make itself (using its extensions that wont be compatible with other "makes" though).

(also while Autotools can feel a bit arcane, they have one feature that other similar tools do not have: you do not need to have Autotools installed to build the project, only some shell and some make, both being very standard in pretty much any unix-like OS and for Windows, well, see the first paragraph :-P)

> I just can't see if ever taking off, if I'm honest. The people that use neo/vim are going to continue using it, even if Helix is better.

I would think that helix probably is better because I'm certain that the verb->text object paradigm in vim could be much better. It may in fact make more sense to do the 'text object' first like it seems to do in both helix and kakoune. But is it better enough for me to switch off something that I've used for years now? Only if it sees mass adoption and you see many developers adopting it. Like if you see it in VS Code as an option to use helix bindings, then it is probably safe to consider adopting it.

> Honestly, language servers are a bit of a faff to set up, but that's tooling and it's getting easier and easier to get these installed now. I expect that will continue.

I've been pleasantly surprised with how much better LSP setup in neovim has gotten, as I've transitioned over to the native LSP from CoC, which is also excellent. It's still not pain-free to setup, but it's much easier than it was and I suspect you're right that it'll continue to get easier... though I doubt it'll get anywhere close to how easy VS Code is to use any time soon.
