> You want to be free to see a handbook with suicide instructions next to the pure sodium nitrite you order? That’s the freedom you are personally advocating for?

I want to be free to order goods without having to upload government-issued ID or otherwise jump through hoops to assuage your panic.

I also want to be free to see a suicide book next to a sodium nitrate purchase without an emotionally panicked busy-body deciding that we have to save the children by infringing on the latter freedom.

> Do you also want to be free to buy baby formula and not be sure what’s in it, or a car where the seatbelts fail if you weigh over 150lbs? Do you want freedom to see pornographic billboards near the playground?

You’re conflating a lot of very different issues here. Can you actually explain how these are related?

> The idea that corporations should just be able to do whatever they want is so fucking toxic.

Nobody is advocating that here, that I can tell.

Furthermore, far more toxicity arises out of nanny-scolds advocating for ever-increasing regulation so that nobody will ever feel unsafe again.

If you want to look for the source of policies that stifle children, replace their healthy childhood experiences with institutionalized suffocation, and as a result, have created the most mentally unwell generation (literally) ever — try a mirror.
It obviously means there's reason to be suspicious. It took 60 years for the US to admit its role in the 1953 coup.
Allow us non-regular domain experts to easily post technical articles with pure Markdown, easy to make Medium one of the outlets I post to automatically along with Dev.to, and private blogs. Make it easier to have embedded code in the articles.
Didn’t RPI have In built capability to do that?
I built a cheap streaming system, back when bluetooth wasn’t so main stream to make “piplay” for my stereo in car with Pi2.
Nobody wants to eat a meal prepared hours ago and reheated. Beyond that, most people feel really uncomfortable being watched by a non-eater while they are eating; if you eat at a different time than your family at least let them eat in peace.

Another problem with hydrogen-fuelled engines is that they still use combustion; so even if their fuel is non-fossil based, the engines themselves still produce extra heat and CO2.
Yeah, many people don't get that. They listen to Putin's drivel and conclude he's either stupid or crazy. But his message is mostly aimed at the Russian population, already believing most of what they see in their state TV. In their minds, Ukraine is the aggressor and Russia is the protector and liberator.
This thread is about a course on Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment. After looking at the content of the course, I'd argue that there's an implied "Systems" between "Advanced" and "Programming". (Indeed, this course is taught using the famous book whose title it borrows, and is heavily C oriented.)

Java is neither common nor especially well suited for the topic of this course.

So while I share your opinion on IntelliJ as a Java IDE, I would not recommend it for UNIX systems programming. And even the IntelliJ-derived Clion, which is (IMO) decent for that, leaves something to be desired when it comes to learning the topic.
The Computational Beauty of Nature is such a cool book!

There is also ABOP - the Algorithmic Beauty of Plants http://algorithmicbotany.org/papers/#abop
which has been a huge inspiration for this project.
I would think that they would, yes. And it is a day that ends with “y” so it is as likely that they are doing it now as it was five years ago.
Recent google updates disprove this. There have been a hugh number of highly successful, albeit short-term, websites built off of gpt-3 tech.
Just want to point out that QEMU can use your CPU's hardware virtualization extensions for VMs of the same architecture as your host, it's not exclusively an emulator.
It doesn't help to address claims nobody is making specifically dressed up to serve as fallacy. The normal claim is that police are killing black individuals unnecessarily. The claim you have offered is just that claim dressed in dramatic clothing.

Meanwhile transgender sacrificing children would be a falsehood wholly invented to smear a group that already frequently suffers violence and harassment and with the blatant intention of promoting and justifying further violence and harassment. The statement is in effect part of the process of harassing, harming, and ultimately killing people. It ought to be illegal in the same way that breaking into a home to commit rape is also illegal and liable to be punished more harshly itself than if the burglary was part of mere trespass.

I also take issue with drawing a line between a harmful lie like Sandy Hook and mass promotion of same in the fashion you have. Both should be illegal in the same way that starting a house on fire isn't any more legal than setting a fire that burns down whole housing development. The punishment may be harsher but its ultimately the same crime. It's also not a slippery slope AT ALL.

Passing on a falsehood that the individual knew or should have reasonable known was false is not at all like parsing the difference between police arbitrarily or unnecessarily killing black people. We can forgive trespasses where the truth is a matter of opinion, phrasing, or debate while trivially punishing people who blatantly lie or spread harmful nonsense.

If you don't know that dead children aren't crisis actors or forest fires aren't caused by jewish space lasers and you can't be educated you should probably be fined or imprisoned into silence so that the rest of society can move on.
Not contingent on your cap table structure
I've worked on this before. We had explicit help from AMD - their documentation is better than Intels for this stuff, but still.

if it weren't for linux's dependence on the bios pci and memory probes, you could really cut out all that crap. you need to program the memory controllers and bring in the kernel from storage.
Inheritance is unrelated. C++ has only gone from "duck typed generics" (the second approach) to statically typed generics (the first approach).

Ask HN: Best practices of publishing a forked repo
Scenario: your project is blocked by a bug in an open source dependency. You find a fix for the OSS and create a PR. At this point whilst waiting for a merge (which may never happen), I tend to publish my own fork with a username prefix but is there another, better way?
This is an employment action. There is a good chance it pierces the corporate veil. So yes, they can avoid paying, if their directors never want to enter the EU again.
Thanks. I’ll give it a go.
What was in the SDK? I'm just curious because I developed for OS/2 1.0, i.e. before the Great Schism, and before Presentation Manager was launched. The SDK was MS C v5.2, MASM, CodeView, some .lib files, and some seriously inaccurate documentation. There wasn't much there by modern standards - rather less than you would get for Petzold era Windows development.
This isn't convincing. The turbofan is a good idea because the propulsive efficiency is better than a turbojet.

The Stipa is a ducted fan, but the resemblance to a turbofan is superficial.

I did consider Alpine, the pro is that it is very light. The con is that the components don’t seem as complete as MUI and not free either. Also the repo activity of next/react/MUI is much higher than PHP/alpine.

One thing you want to do is try to choose a stack with the best chance of not leaving you stranded in few years. Also a good set of components so I’m not stitching together random packages that may or may not be under active development.

I like next because I don’t want to build a SPA, I want multiple pages that are rendered server side - for the SEO benefits.
Itanium was absolutely a plan to take out the competitors in the unix- and minicomputer market, where margins were much, much higher than in the generic x86 market. That worked. SGI, Digital, HP, Compaq/Tandem, they all fell.

It was not necessarily the plan to abandon the architecture, but once it was won, it also wasn't terribly important to keep going. Much like most corporate takeovers to this day.

Intel would have been happy to keep the market segmented for a few more years, but what happened instead was that the market vacuum was filled by Linux and x86 instead. That would likely have happened sooner or later anyway, but there you go.
The American Legal System. Justice is for sale.
Exactly. It's amazing how uninformed people are. And then they go and vote.

People are lied to by politicians with agendas, they vote out of ignorance and then we all end-up paying for it. No state in the US is immune to this, but CA seems particularly good at it. This is why moving out of CA (personal and business) is a high priority for me. It just isn't as easy as one would wish it to be. When the time is right, we are gone and I'll take all the jobs we created with us.
Even it's opponents, underestimated the cost. We knew it would never be $10 billion. It's rare that a boondoggle is such a doggle that even the opponents underestimated how much of a budget overrun it would be.

This sounds like it'd stop working really fast as the org grows. Low-performing/average employees will start to feel like their contribution to the pool is too small to justify additional effort while top performers will feel resentful that their work gets diluted among people who don't have as much impact.
Do I have to learn a dozen separate microframework apis or can I just use jQuery?

If I only new a few right now, then jQuery (or jQuery-like lib) will have me covered when the time comes.

I came here expecting to see something about the A380. Completely wrong but not disappointed! The Stipa Caproni is definitely in a class of its own!

~37% of the electorate voted for it, six years ago. If you think it has become more popular in the intervening time then it may be that you're in the echo chamber.
Also the COTS award was delivery-based. They didn't get paid unless/until they delivered a working rocket. Had SpaceX failed on their first 4 attempts, which was paid for almost entirely with Musk's initial investment, then they wouldn't have seen enough of that COTS contract award.
For something allegedly this important, the author could have invested more time into elaborating, providing more examples, etc. I'm still skeptical, this is just another rando Medium rant as far as I'm concerned.
Always assumed it was because no-one else wanted the conference centre at that time of year, so it was cheap.

Bulgarian here: our government when it was around and currently our president are very anti supplying Ukraine with weapons or provoking Russia in any way. Only us and Hungary haven’t supported Ukraine in a military manner from all the EU/NATO countries.
Our president refused to sign the recent Ukraine into NATO document that all of Eastern Europe signed, citing that he doesn’t want to be directly involved in the war and this would allegedly enter us in the war.

This allegation that Bulgarian intelligence services had a hand in this seems really unlikely, as there’s quite a bit of pro-Russia sentiments in a lot of politicians and military leaders. I’d be extremely surprised that they had a hand in it.

On the other hand, any repercussions or threats from Russia would finally force even the most pro-Russia politicians to take a stance against them or be looked on as a traitor.

Very interested to see what message Russia puts out regarding this, if any.
The Privacy Rule, as well as all the Administrative Simplification rules, apply to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and to any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic form... covered entities...

I think this just means health care industry and those who build systems for health care information?

Going to keep researching, but I don't think that it applies to literally every workplace.
I don't see how there can be "no culture whatsoever." Culture lives in things like how decisions are made, how performance is evaluated, how information flows, whether and how criticism and feedback work, what you do when you disagree, balance of written vs. verbal communication, how technologies are chosen, etc.
NeXT, for one. They didn't exactly die miserably, given their technology is what ultimately still runs Apple's OS software and APIs.

NeXT's business model was based on objects to some extent at least and they were enthusiastically selling object-oriented software as a business feature, rather than a technical matter only software developers care about.

Here's Steve Jobs demoing NeXTSTEP's object-oriented development environment:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf5o5liZxnA

The way he explains it, it makes perfect sense (as one would expect): In an ideal world, an object-oriented software development approach not only allows non-technical people to define requirements but also enables them to compose and build applications from existing components without having to write a single line of code.

D templates can have "constraints", which are composed of conventional code that is executed at compile time to see what values and types are acceptable. It is not necessary to compile the template implementation looking for errors. The constraints also enable template overloading.

https://dlang.org/spec/template.html#template_constraints

It's simple to implement and understand, as it doesn't introduce any new syntax, and people already know how to write conventional code.
I’ve been working on software for more than a decade now at companies most of which implemented some form of kpi system. Ime nothing you do more than 1-2 months before bonus is evaluated ever matters. You can ship some big things in the beginning of cycle and then hit a rough patch for a month before review and 90%+ of management will hang you out to dry. Or you can fuck around for better part of the year then ship a week before reviews are in and get a bonus/promo
there's a really short character limit for headlines on HN
Unfortunately, if scrum (and story points and sprint commitments and the whole works) is mandated from above--as it usually is--even the best manager won't be able to prevent many or most software engineers from working in a constant state of stress and anxiety, regardless of how many hats the software engineers are wearing (or not wearing).
I'm not exactly worried but it wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to.
The first paying developer job I had was writing apps for O/S 2. But that software was for the US Navy. I think IBM thought they could secure the “real” use cases and let Microsoft have the mom, pop, buddy and sis market. Forward thinking was not IBMs strong suit.

In the EU at borders lorries and freight trains are x-rayed. I've only crossed the external EU border by land a couple of times, but lorries had to drive at a constant speed (without stopping!) through a metal archway, which presumably was the x-ray machine.

I haven't seen a similar system near vulnerable infrastructure, but it might exist. It may be overkill for a lightly trafficked road.

> The idea that we would actively intentionally re-create the situation of MAD in another context. MAD was an accident of historical happenstance and now that we know about it, we wouldn't try to re-create it.

I haven't seen The Expanse, but "try" doesn't seem to come into it: We are very close to that situation right now with NATO and Russia.
I think that telling a trans person they are an aberration of nature is wrong but calling it fighting words is only euphemistically correct. The fighting words exemption to free speech has been so narrowed that you practically have to say I'm going to kill professor plum in the library with the candlestick right now in the presence of said professor for it to count.

If you were to scream it at them in a way that would suggest to an ordinary person they are in danger of attack it would be fighting words. If you merely slung it on the street you would have no realistic means of legal redress. No cop is going to arrest them for offending you nor prosecutor press charges.
“Speech promoting violation of the law may still only be restricted when it poses an imminent danger of unlawful action, where the speaker has the intention to incite such action, and there is the likelihood that this will be the consequence of that speech.” [1]

As others have noted, speech doesn’t have unlimited degrees of freedom in the United States.

The only thing, apparent to me, that clearly protects people from hate speech in America is when that hate speech is intended to cause harm or harm would be the likely outcome of the hate speech.

Possible Intel Alder Lake BIOS source code leak
This post reminds me of the category of "not even wrong". Apart from anything else, reward is a _much_ more effective stimulus for learning than punishment.
No, that was v1.0. v1.1 was incompatible with v1.1 in some respects for that reason. I had some stuff that was literally hard-wired with wire-wrap to do bit-shuffling from an image acquisition system (assembly wasn't fast enough) and I would have had to re-wire it to migrate to 1.1. There were also some details that wouldn't have affected most people, like moving from 8 byte entries to 16 byte entries in the descriptor tables. Sorry if I'm vague on the details - it was a while back.
It's a great path if you have a little bit of an entrepreneurial streak too -- it's a big marketing challenge.

If you work for a medium sized company (maybe even a small company) you can easily get trapped into maintaining some system just because you once volunteered to 'look at it' when it needed attention a few years ago. You fix an email problem the CEO ran into, and suddenly you are the 'email expert' that everyone runs to when they have an email problem. Fix someone in sales' computer and now everyone wants you to look at their laptop to see what is wrong with it.

Any wonder why everyone claims 'I know nothing about that!' when a problem pops up in some peripheral system that no one is in charge of.
Right, I think regardless of who/when it was built, it is in Ukraine's interest to disrupt supplies and troop movements. Unfed troops are not going to really be motivated to defend territories.

Ok that I disagree with, if anything niche content in a world without tracking should attract a higher percentage of advertising.

If I manufacture say jigsaw puzzles and I can’t target individuals then I want to link to show up on a YouTuber with puzzle related content. But with tracking I shouldn’t care about the videos content as much and should be happy to show up on cat videos as long as tracking supports the association. That same logic would seemingly extend to any activity with associated products which is basically everything.

On the other hand soda manufactures are presumably less picky and could advertise on both.

You should read more of the comments, including at least one that explicitly states how a founder reached out on HN only to never reply via email. It's been documented as an empty gesture, aka bullshit.

I have booted a few SoCs without a BIOS or anything of the sort before (nothing nearly as big as an AMD Milan chip). Doing this with a huge, fast chip is really impressive from the folks at Oxide. DDR5 DRAM training is also a ridiculously complicated and touchy exercise, as is some of the PCIe link training that (according to the talk) Linux/Unix handles.

Edit: this board uses DDR4, not DDR5.

One pointer that might be worth exploring, which is not quite L-Systems but might be related is Fractal Compression. I've read that there are algorithms to compress images into a "closest" IFS – iterated function system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_compression

Maybe one could come up with a way of going from an image via fractal compression to an IFS which could then be used as the basis for an L-system?

Most of the L-Systems that are on this site are from

There are benefits to being late to market. The US also has close to 5000 banks and nearly as many credit unions, whereas most 'developing' economies have only a handful. Banks have to follow state and federal rules (sometimes both, sometimes only one or the other, depending on the rules and the corporate details). Centralization into only a few firms and maybe a single regulator makes it easier to have consistent features and requirements.
So they can ignore the call entirely
