> Isn't this completely normal in programming?

It's common in academic writing too. And many of those academics end up writing code too.

From Knut's course [1] on mathematical writing:

> But this use of “we” should be used in contexts where it means “you and me together”, not a formal equivalent of “I”. Think of a dialog between author and reader. In most technical writing, “I” should be avoided, unless the author’s persona is relevant.

I don’t envy you, my wife is the same, so those long flights (Germany <--> South Africa) are pretty hard on her. And yeah, as long as you are visibly belted, they don’t bother you.
While unlikely in this case, a few ways this can play out is:

1. You’re connected to more venues to your counterparty, and can hedge out profitably even if their trade was good.

2. The loss is conditional on trading with you (maybe you can price a derivative very well). The counter parties might on average make money, except when you’re sitting on the right side of a mispriced derivative.

3. You lose money when trading with other bots, but are good at competing to provide liquidity to other traders who are not toxic on a short term
Yes, less pilots. good. Less flights. Less carbon. all good.
BTW, most light aircraft flights are hobby not training.
> I think of the use of we as the team of programmer and computer.

I don't agree because the computer is a tool with no agency like a hammer or a chisel.

I use "we" in program because it's a consideration for the project / team, even if odds are low anyone else will ever use or contribute to it. It's a reminder to avoid factoring in ego too much.

This but unironically. By the standards of the wild swings in CPI that we would have if denominated in any non-stablecoin cryptocurrency, the US's current inflation is brief and insignificant.

It’s interesting to see so many people here talking about how this can’t be real, probably lost later, etc.

The early crypto market was absolutely disgustingly inefficient and easy to succeed as a liquidity provider in. Simply understanding how to price a perpetual would have done much better for them than fancy ML trading.
I think offering a RISC-V + full featured x86 option could be a pretty big differentiator during the transition. They'd have to be really sure of out competing competitors though.

Short of that, I expect ARM or RISC-V to become the dominant ISA on server and clients come 3-7 years and where do they go from there? Become the next PPC?

That you can stick a space between the last word and the question mark to annoying effect, I suppose.

> The rest of what you said

Is mostly disheveled in its organization to the point where I can’t really respond effectively. Glad to know private schools are failing people as well, I guess.

Nevertheless

> I disagree.

Seriously, with what. From context it seems to be that you disagree with using online searches other than Wikipedia (or maybe Jstor) for research purposes but you put “I disagree” right in the vicinity of (a) question about budget relation to public school being a shitshow (b) the fact that you went to private school and (c) that your private school lamented the use of Wikipedia, something I also disagreed with. Based on all I’ve said and what you’ve said, what you disagree with remains unclear, and vaguely discernible from contextual clues.

> Why is it the budget’s fault (that public school is bad)

Have you watched the news lately, there’s like a weekly or
monthly school shooting. Have you ever had free lunch? How many teachers do you know in the public school system that retire financially secure? What is the national average for college attendance out of public schools, then compared to that of other nation’s numbers? How effectively do public schools campaign for and encourage students to pursue higher education? Public school budgets could benefit from federal spending increases (as one option but literally any source would make a difference) to increase mental health resources, acquiring better teachers, encouraging better educators to work in public schools, improving resources available for education, I mean do I really have to exhaust this laundry list?

> But you know what I’ve found? It’s hard to read primary sources.

Respectfully what does that have to do with anything. This sounds like a reading disability, not a condemnation of… what, online articles? Are you a bot? I swear you must be a bot. This makes no sense.

I agree that 2.5/5 are weird use cases, but after a cursory look over this space (so my conclusion may be wrong) I've found that:

1. End devices with 10 Gb ports seem uncommon. The copper variety of adapters seem to run hot, so they're either huge or noisy. This makes them somewhat impractical for the current tendency of "lean" / quiet builds. Whereas most MB seem to have at least a copper 2.5 Gb port, when it's not 5. I've seen USB dongles which are the same size as a Gb one and barely more expensive.

2. The intermediary speeds being "weird", they're not always supported by 10 Gb switches. My Brocade has 10 Gb SFP ports, but they only do either 1 or 10 Gb. I didn't look very hard, but I've never seen any copper module do anything else. Also, 10 Gb copper modules are quite expensive. I've seen managed Netgear switches specifically advertise 2.5/5 Gb copper ports. They're quite cheaper than equivalent 10 Gb switches.

Personally, I don't have a use for anything more than 1 Gb (yet) so I've only looked over these things out of a little curiosity. But I can see why people who want to have higher speeds would be interested in these intermediary switches.
I think the article is misrepresenting RMS' view. In fact he does not seem to be against it at all. His point is that so long as the feature works on other systems, it is ok to use this implementation for Mac OS using what's available there. He's only against adding features that are exclusive to closed systems. He seems to prefer a 100% end-to-end "free" implementation, but is not against interfacing with proprietary systems if that is the only option, so long as it replicates a feature that is available in a free system (GNU).

In my view, if you want to provide a 100% "free" alternative you need to pull users in. If a feature works on GNU/Linux, but requires you to connect to a proprietary system on Mac OS (apple script) to implement the same feature, you should do that. When you run enough free software on a closed OS, it lowers the bar for choosing a free OS the next time you buy a computer.

Relevant quotes from the mail thread, that shows that RMS does have a relatively pragmatic view:

> Does anyone object to its removal?

RMS: In principle, it is good to remove it, but there is no principled reason
why we must remove it, if that means breaking a user-level feature
that does work on non-MacOS systems.

> but using it in a subprocess to retrieve only contacts data (which is already possible on free systems) must be more acceptable than Emacs including a C primitive to do the same thing.

RMS: Since retrieving contact data in Emacs is supported on free systems,
adding code to do the same job on MacOS is ok in principle. An
implementation which implements only that particular feature poses no
special problem. Implementing something more general than that might
pose a problem

> Just FTR, AppleScript is used in eudcb-macos-contacts.el, but via osascript executable

RMS: The comments in that file suggest that this is not a general facility
to execute AppleScript programs, but rather a way to get data out of a
MacOS-specific contacts database.
[...]
If so, then under the conditions in the node Non-GNU-Only Features of
the GNU Maintainers Guide, this is a system-specific implementation of
a feature that is supported equally well on the GNU system, so it is
ok.

Cloud flare made a blog post about this. I tried to find it but I couldn’t.

Your comment about cooling reminded me of a fun anecdote from my time in academia.

My PhD involved quite a lot of high performance computing simulations. We kept running into problems where on warm days, all our jobs would get killed pretty consistently. Our IT guy noticed a pattern where the temps would be perfectly normal, and then suddenly out of nowhere go through the roof, triggering a thermal shutdown of the racks.

In the end our IT guy camped out in the server room on a hot day to watch what was happening. The Astrophysics' cabinet were directly infront of ours, and they had jerry rigged their cabinet door so that when it got too hot, it would swing open and their hot air would be blown all over the neighbouring cabinets...
> This Mac is unchanging in a world where things change by the minute. It will never receive another software update and is thoroughly obsolete, but it's comforting to have something that you know will stay the same forever, remaining in a known state every time you return to it.

I knew I was not the only one feeling this. I hate that things which aren't broken change so much on a whim. There are certain software that despite no additions in functionality seem to have to change their design, button placement, workflows, etc, every 6 months or so (looking at you Signal).

Interesting. My experience is somewhat different, but also does not commend the Australian system. I did not opt in, but my general practitioner uploaded everything anyway. Important details were entered incorrectly - I was listed as having conditions I do not have - which I imagine could have had catastrophic consequences had another doctor relied on any of it. I don't think I was even notified the record was created, I seem to recall discovering it by chance, but I could be misremembering.

Worth mentioning is the fact that under the law as it was passed, this (in my case incorrect) data could never be deleted. Once the botched roll-out began, the law was thankfully amended, and I was allowed to have the whole thing taken down.

Why we don't have some international passive RFID luggage tag that all airports could automatically scan is beyond me.

No, the article contradicts itself:

K&R was a very interesting read for me, but not actually for the description of the C language, but because it describes why certain features in C look the way they do, and because it is also surprisingly and refreshingly critical towards the language (e.g. it basically admits that the function pointer syntax was a mistake).

It also corrected my oversimplified view that C is a simple and small language simply because it is an old language, but it was already a simple and small language compared to other languages in the late 60's and early 70's 'programming language zoo'.

All the code examples are deeply rooted in the 80's programmer mindset though, and are not very relevant for "modern C".
Ask HN: What internal tooling does AWS use for their API and Authorization?
Is there any documentation or sources on how they build their apis and authorization layer? It seems that its pretty consistent and follows conventions in generating:

- Generated cli tools

- Generated client libraries

- Documentation for said libraries

- Conventions for endpoints and hosting

- Authorisation via policies

Also they seem to follow an RPC style convention. Any leads on a framework that does exactly this in a consistent way so you can build your own kind of services in a similar manner

Thank you

Usually the handling of luggage is not by air france (or other carrier), it is the specific airport personnel, so called "ground-services".

Most airports cut down personnel due to Covid-19 and when the amount of flights quickly ramped up to previous (or possibly higher than before) levels couldn't manage (or did not want) to find/hire/re-hire enough personnel.

When this happens, the luggage is normally stored in a hangar or other warehouse at the airport, far from passenger traffic, and with access reserved to these ground service personnel, so the most you would get with an airtag (if any of the personnel has an iPhone) is that your luggage still exists in a place which you cannot have access to, no way to collect it.

But why not just jump and let momentum carry x86 like before? The problem with Itanium was largely that the ISA itself sucked to work with and SW/tools were not ready for prime time when 3p SW/HW vendors like Nvidia were expected to have ported to it.

It doesn't seem like ARM and maybe RISC-V will have the same issues, at leatin terms of magnitude so I don't really see why it matters.

I think long term they risk ending up like Canon/Nikon in the DSLR market when Sony came along with the new fangled mirrorless technology - sometimes you gotta disrupt yourself and skate to where the pick is going.

There is no important difference between this and assaulting someone. One person is significantly harming another person (by giving them brain damage) without consent from that other person. That's the crux of it.
Not to belittle what is experienced by Ukrainians, but the Russian Federation is truly not at war - yet.

This article spends its entire content deriding the notion of narratives, but it takes advantage of that very same mechanism in order to try and entice readers into following it.

I think rather than trying to find the “one true source of information”, which can be incredibly dangerous, the real “redpill” is learning to develop the meta skills of critical reading and research.

Who is the author of your piece? What are their motivations and biases? Can you find sources and citations for the research posted? At the same time, also recognize that it’s unlikely you’ll have the time/resources to fully deep dive into every piece of news or commentary that you read. That should come with it a certain level of humbleness and willingness to consider the alternative if (and when) you’re wrong.
