I think this argument gets sillier every year, and passed the silliness event horizon probably at least a decade ago. Taking what the article says for convenience, memory safety prevents "buffer overflows, use after free, and use after return". My question is, what are you doing that actually depends on those things? Why would you consider them features?

There is of course a small handful of answers like accessing memory-mapped buffers for hardware access, but these are fractional percentage exceptions, not things to bend your language choice around. They're fractional percentage exceptions even in programs where that's the primary use case; you're still better off using an "unsafe" function to do your little bit of magic, then using the memory safety everywhere else.

And... it's not like C is a nice language. By modern standards, C is just terrible. Unpleasant. Poor affordances that lead to bad designs, where you end up giving up on the right answer because it's just so darned hard so let's just take some shortcuts. Spikes everywhere you walk, knives everywhere you touch. Missing basic features to any modern language like closures, and if you do bash them in they come with so many caveats that they're hardly recognizable.

If you are still someone who learned C 30 years ago and still think it's just somehow incomparably amazing and nothing can compare, please, spend some time with a couple of other system languages long enough to come to fluency, then re-evaluate. All the other languages have been polishing for decades now, and they've straight-up passed C for all language-related purposes. Yea verily these ~25 years ago when I started in this industry there were still cases to be made that C or the C++ of the time was still necessary to get the performance you needed, but those days have passed. The only remaining place I can understand using it are those fringes where it's just the only choice, and even then, the newer languages are marching along and if I were stuck in those industries I'd be trying to get on board as quickly as possible.
The reason why I'm on Android instead of a iOS 1200 euro Apple device with fancy sensors is because I don't give a shit about making pictures or videos.

> memory leaks generally aren't considered as problematic as other memory issues, such as buffer overruns and use after free. [...] they generally don't corrupt program data or lead to security vulnerabilities.

I see.

Although that definition of safety feels a little wrong to me, I can't think of any security issue that could be caused by a memory leak. Perhaps OOM killer butchering random processes on the system, bringing it to some vulnerable state? But then again - that's a system failure, as any well-behaved process might as well use more memory than is available.

Just because one is legally entitled to a lawyer doesn't mean one will

a) understand that fully at the time of interrogation, especially if one is a minor or a foreigner

b) trust that a court-appointed lawyer will actually work for your best interests

c) actually get a court-appointed lawyer who does work for your best interests.

So your assumption that someone in this position necessarily has an effective lawyer present, absent other police misconduct, is clearly a flawed assumption.

Honestly a lot of the pictures are people in a spina bifida parents support group sharing pictures of their child’s spinal surgery. I don’t want to straight up block these people or even unfollow them as they might have questions I can answer sometime in the future, like I’m good at helping dads get used to the idea of cathetering their daughters without feeling like they’re a total weirdo.

So when I see someone who is going through trauma like this sharing a picture and asking for emotional support I don’t want to block them. I tap “hide” which then promptly does… absolutely nothing.

There is definitely a legitimate use case for the “hide” button where the two things you mentioned won’t really help.

What's interesting is that the tech industry in the US has developed an ever worsening pathological fear of making bad hires, almost as if they're in a European environment where it is difficult to fire someone. Even though in the US it is still mostly "at-will" should you actually need to let someone go, the hiring practices are becoming increasingly fossilized and fearful of hiring anyone who isn't perfect on day one, which must be a big drag on those companies who really need additional labor to get things done.
The thing is, consumer drones are widespread and generate a lot of data. Not just about the general performance of the drone or AI (like Tesla does), but also about weather conditions such as wind, or population densities that are classified by the drone's AI. All of this can be fed into massive data warehouses for later analysis - and the more drones one has, the better the quality of the derived data. In turn, that data can be used by the military for all sorts of planning and general intel collection.

Given that DJI has 76% of the market, the largest competitor (shockingly Intel - no idea they made drones?!) has 4% and the rest barely hits ~3%, it's safe to assume that no competitor comes even close to DJI [1].

Fantastic progress.

My only concern is looking at it... I can't help but worry slightly about feature creep. We went from an OS, to an OS + Web Browser, to an OS + Web Browser + Programming Language. Next year it might add an Office Suite at this rate.

Edit: I don't mean this as a bad thing, just that it would be a shame to get so large that everything becomes half-baked and overwhelming to finish.
Trivial as compared to taking away the freedom of being able to purchase stuff like that at all via mail order – which I do not necessarily consider to be a reasonable request, nor do I agree with the lawsuit as is. There are already established mechanisms to verify age and identity in place to do that, package delivery companies do it all the time. It’s simply more expensive to do that. But Amazon clearly did not respond to reasonable discourse. I fail to see what you consider radical or restricting about my position.

There was also a quickly deleted response accusing me of ”pathological empathy that would abandon any principled position if it offered an immediate salve” to my “emotional panic”.

I believe this reveals more about the character and expectations of the commenter than anything else. To their credit, they deleted it.

Rational discourse about touchy subjects appears to be largely impossible. I expected better from HN. It doesn‘t follow that because you apparently hold an absolutist stance regarding what you consider freedom to be, that I am on the opposite end of this absolutism.
I work for a FAANG. It’s just one of the eight jobs I’ve had in my 25+ year career.

Just like the other 7 jobs, it’s just a means for me to exchange labor for money to support my addiction to food and shelter.

Admittedly more money than I’ve made before.
Yes and no.

If I buy a house with a mortgage, that's a risk. If interest rates shoot up to 10%, 20%, or I get made redundant, I lose my house and the risk hasn't paid off.

Yes you could point to the fact that I bought the house as the reason why I am now bankrupt and homeless, but I don't think that tells the whole story.

There's always risks that could turn into something worse, quite often they don't though. I think it's reasonable to point to 9/11 as a cause of the following recession because if that hadn't have happened we wouldn't have had the recession (if you accept that assumption).

One problem with the "doers" just doing is that they don't build up the same level of social capital. When times get tough (and as long as we have capitalism, and likely after that too, they will get tough), they tend to fail out much harder and faster than the more traditional style of co-op that can fall back on more solidly established local goodwill.
Yes, you are accurately describing the Harvest Co-op which operated in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and failed to thrive. Aka "the People's Republic of Cambridge"?

I dunno, maybe it was mismanaged due to excessive ideological community involvement? Or maybe operating costs were just too high in one of the most expensive cities in the nation?
Agree, but could that be like wishing that all video games are implemented using the same engine?

I'm not nor a TeXnicians nor a TeXpert but I use LaTeX for pretty any formal pdf document I produce, having used it for thesis, reports, letters, business cards, countless of times.

I found hard to read VERY complex graphic code, like PGF/TikZ especially if badly formatted, some complex custom class/packages for specific stuff etc, but not much hard most of the time and most of the time I just write plain LaTeX in a simple style:

- first I write my document in pure formatted text, with LaTeX just for something can't be easily written in text like math or so common typographic elements like an itemize/enumerate, a yasnippet away;

- then I add the rest of the template and check the visual/typesetting aspects while I'm re-read my doc looking for typos, phrases to be better reformulated etc

No need to rebuild so many times and no issue in build time, on a reasonably modern machine is quick enough for essentially all common docs, it might be a very little bit slow not enough to annoy on VERY big special docs who need various works aside anyway not for LaTeX but for mere proofreading and typographic checks.

IMVHO I think that some like the authors came from the uncivilized modern world where well typeset docs are unknown and where people just know WebUIs to click around and quickly produce something prepackaged even if suboptimal and generally bad in quality terms.

I see such behaviors many time where even skilled people do not understand that their docs are graphic heavy crap just because they do not know typography nor typographic conventions of their own country/institution. That's not an issue no LaTeX or other layer (like ConTeXt) can solve, it's a social issue, not a technical one. People should for instance learn why tables should not be like those crappy tables spitted for some spreadsheet tools on a pdf or pages drawn with such crappy margins their favorite "Office Automation" crapplication produce.

In general IMVHO people in the famous "missed CS concepts" courses like the MIT one, typography should be a topic because right now too many do not know how to write on pen and paper BUT also do not know how to write on a desktop, to a level just above the minimum literacy demanded by our society. Not joking nor insulting, that's what I see EVEN from professional publishers.
Restructured text cures all ills.
Feature creep kinda defines the project. It's not a bug, it's a feature. :^)
I think this is it. There are a bunch of tiny details in the iOS soft keyboard that make typing more accurate and I bet a lot of the behavior is hard-coded. For example, if you use the split keyboard layout on the iPad and you try to hit the Y key with your left thumb even though it’s on the right side keyboard, the software will fudge it to make it work anyway. If you shift your thumbs while you’re typing and suddenly you’ve crossed the border onto another key, it seems like it shifts the hit boxes slightly to compensate (I’m not sure how to reproduce this one 100% of the time though).
It's not giving you more knowledge though. It's giving you the exact same amount of knowledge - you're just retaining it longer.

Folic Acid Supplement Linked with Reduction in Suicide Attempts and Self-Harm
\LaTeX is a tax on the smart.

Once you have been hazed by it, you will start to defend it: LaTeX drives cognitive dissonance in its users.

Nobody will build the next thing, because LaTeX is free and there are millions of plugins and lots and lots of people with Stockholm syndrome ready to defend it.

I have built documentation systems for clients with LaTeX, but regular developers won't touch it, they know better, so the docs go stale. It's better to use restructured text/html/css, since it has a lot more features than markdown, yet it's simple enough that people who haven't been LaTeX-hazed will use it too.
Executing (parts of) payloads is often an effective part of malware analysis, revealing things quicker than static analysis.

> The study failed to find a reduction in death rate despite lowering the incidence of cancer

This isn’t true. The secondary analysis shows a reduced death rate.

The problem with the title is that it says “Effect of Colonoscopy Screening”, not “Effect of telling people to get a colonoscopy screening”, where the primary analysis is making conclusions based on the latter.

Maybe this style of title is standard for medical journals, but the argument in this thread is based on the title priming us for what the paper is talking about, and directly leading to confusion.
Yes, it's a useful indicator of how portable the software is. I can ignore systems software written in Rust because it only works in places that LLVM targets, and extending LLVM is a nightmarish process. I can ignore software written in Zig because until this year (or arguably last year) it's been a one-man hobby project, worth checking on again in about a decade. For now there are too many weird bugs that pop up if you use platforms different from the main developer. "Written in Go" means I at least have a chance of fixing deployment problems, becausae crosscompiling is easy and the language is fully self-hosted.
Heroku is probably the most famous in this market but there are others too. None seem like the defacto winner to me at this point either. I think there is still room to build tools like this and add value.
That's pretty much where I'm at - my understanding of most of this hasn't moved since CP/M.

CPU boots, PC sets to zero, starts reading instructions from ROM, optionally paging out the ROM if we really need to recover that memory window. I get that x86 is a bit messier because you have optional bioses that get run, and then you read and run the first page of the storage device, but .. man have they made life difficult since I last paid attention.

Death, taxes and being banned from social media by artificially (un)intelligent censorship mistakes

Today I read about an astrologer a lady from Sydney Australia with a popular online astrology blog and business who was basically banned from Facebook because she posted an illustration of the planet Saturn which was picked up by their AI pornography detection algorithms as being pornographic even though it contained no humans or animals or anything inside it was just an illustration of saturn. But it was flesh colored and that was enough to trigger the bureaucratic kafka-esque nightmare for her to reapply for her Facebook account. In the end she decided it was too much hassle and didn't bother

I always thought it was only controversial opinion pundits going against the dominant narrative who would get picked up on spurious trumped-up misinformation charges to be deplatformed by these ridiculous AI monstrosities but it seems like it can happen to anyone. So I'm proposing this new theory the third pillar of certainties in life behind death and taxes is accidental suppression by our not so benevolent AI overlords wielded pretty f*** irresponsibly by massive companies

Who nevertheless pretend they're all about the positive vibes y'all and helping humanity stay open connected organized and accessible

But it seems to me really we're like the f*** Lab rats that they can ab test their AI-fuelled money printing machines on

So f** that stay aware be informed and I hope you can somehow avoid the deplatforming yourselves

Yeah, I can confirm hardware keyboards have supported Dvorak layouts in iOS since ages ago. This change is only for on screen, which I am apparently a weirdo for preferring dvorak. It was one of the things that stuck in my craw most when switching back from Android.

It does take time to learn the Dvorak layout when thumb/swipe typing, but I find the propensity for distance between most letters, except some common cases that prediction nails, to be far preferable to QWERTY.
> You don't convince me.

Absolutely. I can't reason people out of positions they haven't reasoned them into.

Apart from that, your whole comment is so fantastically out of touch and anglo-centric, that it's actually quite funny:

None of your "abstain from politics", "Marxist ideology" sound bites will elicit a reaction from the target audience of the congress, except laughter and ridicule.

It just reads as your FOX News/QAnon consumption fried your brain and no one will take you seriously, except the pitiful "look at the American trying to impress with big words he doesn't understand".
If it helps (with the horror I mean), that's just a sort of lower bound of course - if you could choose your bits carefully and ideally (and I suppose they'd probably be pretty weird (to a human) and overlapping/multi-dimensional, like 'lives in Europe or Antarctica' or 'uses macOS and is female') which of course you couldn't.

i.e. in practice, for practical metrics, it probably takes a lot (I'm not going to guess how many) more.

This is a fairly broad problem across the whole phone app world, isn't it? For example, I bought an iOS app for LAN analysis, but then deleted it when it turned out it wouldn't work unless you gave it access to your physical location (I assume that was for their data marketing side business).

Also, any data information collected by a US company also has 'a nonzero chance of being handed over to the American authorities for any reason whatsoever'.

The only real solution is data protection laws that can be enforced not just by governmental authorities, but also by individual and class-action lawsuits against companies that violate those laws.
Reading these comments make me feel sad about the state of Hacker News. As with any large public forum, it's turning into an anti intellectual space where takes like "economics is not a science, it's a social science!" are the best we have to offer. It's either engineer syndrome, or it's brigading from other niche political forums. I'm tired of reading knee jerk reactions to fields from commenters that have zero experience in but have all the conviction in the world.
