Thank you for preparing for the Y10K problem.
Interruptions as part of the natural flow of conversation can pass almost unnoticed, when done appropriately. It is interesting - but mostly frustrating - when people fail at it in a jarring way which comes across as rude. Sadly my wife is one of those people, and her cross-cutting interruptions are a habit learned from her mother. Sigh, mothers-in-law - how distressed I was to discover the stereotype was so accurate...

What they miss is that interruptions should be like a "yes, and..." in improv comedy, not a "yesyesyes, BUT..."
The ones around here ban most electronic donations, because people use them as an electronics disposal drop-off - dump an old compute on Goodwill, avoid the recycling fee, it doesn't sell, Goodwill has to pay the recycling fee.

Normally an upvote is enough but I just have to say that your enthusiasm about this made me smile so wide. This is great.
I don't care a whit about rep or points...

Someone please explain to me why the downvotes so I can understand.

Is it some puritanical thing? I'm baffled.

Or is HN leaning toward the incel concept? If so, I would argue that nerds are especially well suited for pleasing mates. We live to understand systems and provide optimal solutions. So all we need do is find a partner and serve them. If that's your issue, be not dismayed.

My partner liked to do her work, boring documentation crap, while I did my work on her. It was fun for both of us, and it was certainly a new kind of thing which could not exist in the office space. No doubt, she did high quality work with some pauses. And I made the best of the opportunity.

Those of you downvoting, be real and explain your reasoning. Or fuck off.

Edited: too many typos :(... am I slipping?
Right: if they already know what they're looking for, because if they don't their application's just getting denied. No free roaming the archives. So that's a radically different situation compared to "here's what we have, everyone can access it."
The YouTube link [1] states that most of these are in fact stars. The gas from the nebula obscures the distant galaxies we're used to seeing.

No country that I'm aware of (except maybe Norway and the Saudi's, because they have resource wealth?) fully funds future social welfare policies from present day revenue.

Consequently, future generations will always be paying for present day late life social support.

Because of this, negative population growth requires higher and higher present day tax burdens to continue paying equivalent benefits.

And population economics are not something you can paper over, because they're by definition on the order of your entire country's economic output.
See Buran.

From the Soviet point of view the Space Shuttles were the largest and fastest first strike nuclear bombers ever created. With enough of them in orbit you just obsoleted all other nuclear delivery methods.

Just because something pretends to be a civilian craft doesn't mean it can't be repurposed into a military one in no time at all.
This is great, I would add one critical ingredient: provide actual customer care.

Meaning, the "way out" is to point users to customer care, but this still does not help if customer care is shit. And we know it often is.

Customer care should be an email address (and/or phone number) in the footer. Not a contact form. Self-help/FAQ is fine, but no replacement for direct contact. Nor is a shitty AI bot.

And when contacting support directly, answers should not be scripted non-sense completely ignoring the actual issue at hand.

I don't care if it doesn't scale. Make it scale. Your problem.

This is actually very reasonable, but I think it's sad that we have to do such gymnastics to justify a healthy work-life balance. It's even sad that we had to coin the term "work-life balance."
I've had a statistically unusual amount of clerical errors after a deal is struck at car dealerships going from salesperson to the finance guy. I've politely corrected them each time and only once did I walk away because I "must be mistaken"
I was super disappointed to find out that after they crammed a whole iPhone SOC package into the speakers that they don't do offline processing for siri like the phone does. Seems like such a wasted opportunity
Right... I agree. I think Apple could do a better job - but I think the pro-repair side is way, way too ready to just say "evil corporation bad and greedy" instead of asking what legitimate reasons might be behind an action, even if one doesn't agree with the action. For example, the Face ID lockout: Imagine if one could just pipe an AI-generated map of your face, straight into the Face ID port, to unlock your phone using a fake sensor - or, have a fake modified sensor record your facial data for later use. Lockout? I don't necessarily agree, but I get it, whereas nobody on the "right to repair" even tries to figure out reasoning like this.

It's easy to strawman "evil corporation," but addressing the real reasons why Apple would do something like this, and finding a reasonable compromise, is much harder. Unfortunately, as long as they keep ignoring Apple's actual argument and reasons, I doubt they will make any headroom legislatively and they will actually be partly to blame for that. Radicals, most of the time, don't win. If they came up with a compromise that kept anti-theft while improving repairability, that may win.

Edit: For example, this sentence: "Steve Jobs didn’t want people to be able to get inside his devices saying that they’ll just “screw things up”. When viewed from this lens, it’s easy to see how Apple might justify serialization and restrictions on repair. It’s all done in order to bring us, the ignorant and incompetent masses, the perfect smartphone-cum-fashion statement."

No. It's not, at least not nearly to the degree as that. Stop doing that - or accept that any failure to gain legislative wins is partially self-inflicted.
We are rapidly approaching Fahrenheit 451. I was about to purchase a COROS fitness watch to track and aid my return to distance running. This article reminded me why I should not.
Put a bunch of nukes in the cargo bay and you have a good idea what the shuttle could be used for.
The way it works on phones is these apps operate as full VPN due to how network permissions for apps are handled. When you turn on tailscale, tailscale will pass through traffic it doesn’t need to touch. that’s also why you can’t have two vpn apps running at the same time.
Wasn't there news about police officers playing music in order for videos of them triggering automated copyright/DMCA takedowns?

Similarly, though useful less often these days, using -B/--buffer-size to increase the amount that it can buffer. If reading data from traditional hard drives, piping that data through some process, and writing the result back to the same drives, this option can increase throughput significantly by reducing head movements. It can help on other storage systems too, but usually not so much so.
I have a little experience from a while back. I’d be curious to know what your management’s stated goal is for it.
Simple diagraming, requirements tracing, documentation generation, code generation, all of the above?
My experience is that in order for it to provide any more utility than Visio, it requires much more effort than it’s worth. And it’s a much worse diagramming tool.

The believers will claim if you flesh out your system model enough, it can generate at least skeleton code for you. I sincerely believe getting your model to this level of detail and scope would take significantly more time than just writing the code yourself.
One way to prevent is to make the cost of churning domains expensive. E.g. requiring registration with a $250 one time fee

It's interesting how genre fads have come and gone in the Hollywood era. For a while there swashbucklers with Errol Flynn et all were the biggest thing ever. Now that along with westerns are nearly a dead genre.
Exactly. Betteridge's law of headlines strikes again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...

It would be as sensible to ask, "Do CMSs Destroy Internet Design?" If you're building a custom CMS for your company intranet instead of using SharePoint, a wiki, Notion or whatever, you're doing it wrong.
Absolutely. There are certainly classes of games where several frames of input lag don't matter, but look at the big AAA titles, look at the popularity of challenging action games like Elden Ring, of multiplayer shooters and MOBAs.

It is, at best, a niche service.
I found out through a friend they had started a new job, and instead of turning in notice, they just rode it out for a few months taking multiple paychecks. Look around on r/overemployed on reddit for a lot more examples of the mindset that does this type of thing.
Thanks! That’s such a clever idea
Absolutely, and it's a great way to win brownie points with the maintainers.

Refusing to interrupt is to stick to your ideals. Tit-for-tat does not work against interrupters, and especially against barkers
If some term has different meanings in different legal contexts, and you believe that having a meaning in a legal context precludes having a distinct colloquial meaning, how can you tell GP they're using the wrong meaning before you've asked where they're posting from?

A toaster is probably a bad example, given the common error states (burnt toast, stuck toast) which are no doubt amplified by design flaws in some units. I've never seen a toaster with 2000+ components, so maybe such a machine is different. A toaster is also historically famous for a dangerous error state: if the plug is inserted the wrong way round, the coils will be switched on neutral. A toaster which is "off" is thus liable to shock an unwitting person using a fork to resolve the stuck-toast error state.
The dirty secret behind all the online ordering stuff is just how ABSOLUTELY BAD at inventory many stores were (and still are!). Things like "we get a pallet of oranges every Monday, and every Sunday night we throw any remaining away" but across all swaths of items.

That's before you even get into tracking where in the store the items might be, because they're not always in the same location, end caps, etc.

And then on top of that add lazy pickers who are just trying to finish as many orders as they can, and the "not available" button is right there ...
I think there's a subtle system that interrupters use (and for context I am definitely an interrupter, though I very consciously work to not be one when I'm with non-interrupters). If I'm speaking and you interrupt, if my expectation is that your thought is more valuable than mine, I stop and let you go. If I think my thought is more valuable, I continue. In this situation, you're doing the same thing. So if we both continue to talk, each of us is signaling that we think our thought is more important, but each of us is also taking in the information that the other thinks their thought is more important. So if you're still talking after some threshold (and this is quick, so that's maybe 2-3 seconds), even though I think my thought is important, it's not 2-3 seconds of interruption important, ergo your thought is probably more important, so I cede the metaphorical baton to you.

That might sound insane to non-interrupters, and even for interrupters it's a quick, natural assessment, but if you listen to two interrupters talk for a while, especially about something they're both passionate about, you can pick up on what's happening.

That said, there are also some interrupters who just do not stop speaking once they've interrupted no matter what. They're a minority, but they drive me nuts. So it's all relative, I suppose.
For the drone to be useful operationally to the submarine, the submarine would need some degree of control over it?

They couldn’t control something that they can’t talk to without giving away their position?
Take less drugs.
Except it wouldn’t make them resilient since, as I pointed out, neither of the things they did would be of any help at all to Easylist in this situation.

It’s great that they’re happy with their choices, but the choices would, in this same situation, likely saddle them with a crippled infrastructure and/or some insane bandwidth bills for suddenly pushing 100 extra TB/m.
Was pork in bills as much of a problem back then?

Since they added "Access denied" for misbehaving browsers, can they instead serve them some sort of bad response that will "surface" issue to the users? Depending on what would work better and cost less... (1) a small list that would block major legitimate sites. Whoops, the browser is unusable, now users complain to the developer to fix the issue, or abandon it. (2) "hang" the request if the browser loads the list synchronously; blocking UI thread is a hallmark of a bad developer, so they might (3) stream /dev/zero. Might be expensive; maybe serve a compressed zip-bomb if HTTP spec allows and/or browsers will process it?
C++ has an international standards body without self-restraint and good taste, and one which cannot fathom the idea that its own discontinuance could be of benefit.
Can you provide a reference for the claim that the concept of a freely postulated axiom system was implicit in Eudoxus? I'm very curious!

I assume the 19th century rediscovery you refer to was Boole, Hamilton et al and their work in logic and the beginnings of abstract algebra.
There's no definitive answer but I'd argue not really.

When you first land on a platform they decide what kind of content you're exposed to. For the majority of users any curation they're likely to carry out will be based on what the platform has recommended to them.

I think the crucial part is that these recommendation engines provide almost no room for rebuttal or content that leads you to examine your views. They function in such a way that they only recommend content that reinforces whatever beliefs you currently hold.

A personal example would be that I was fairly interested in the Atheism movement of the early 2010s. That movement largely collapsed and the zeitgeist moved on to "anti-SJW" content. During that period my Youtube feed became almost exclusively "anti-SJW" videos despite never having subscribed to them. I don't recall ever having seen a video from the other perspective in that period.

Around ~2018 I had largely moved on to more left-leaning content but had heard people mentioning Ben Shapiro. I watched one or two videos to see what he was about and my recommendations became nothing but Shapiro and other right wing content for weeks.

I noticed the same thing with conspiracy theory videos. You watch one out of vague interest and suddenly they become the only thing recommended to you.

None of these recommendations lined up with the content I typically subscribe to or watched regularly.

I logged into Facebook for the first time in years recently and it was full of quasi-sexual videos. I hadn't interacted with those at all. They mostly seem to be gone now but there was no reason for them to have been present in the first place.
A couple+ years ago my then employer required I take (what amounted to) Security Training 101 for Software Developers. I believe one of the client orgs expected everyone to go through the program.

That said, Ppetty much everything you're suggesting was considered a bad idea (for security). Mainly because the more details you give away, the more a hacker can understand about the underlying system. The more they probe and possibly break things, the more you're showing your cards.

It was then the bland cryptic error msg made perfect sense to me.
Essentially, solving a large number of non-trivial integrals.
What if the founder is really a bad guy, but the product company releases is useful and could really improve lives of many. Should we use it and advertise to others who might find it useful? Or should we abstain from it to punish bad behaviour? Those aren't rhetorical questions, I honestly don't know.
The journal linked in the OP is apparently one of the better and more rigorous journals.

For example:

>Public Library of Science, PLOS ONE, was the only journal that called attention to the paper's potential ethical problems and consequently rejected it within 2 weeks.

Uber rolls out ad business to reach more riders
I expect the cultural impact of launching in the world's media capital to be high. If they're good it'll be strong advertising and everyone will want it. If there are prominent things to criticize you can be sure they'll be criticized heavily.

I assume (hope) they're now reasonably sure the service doesn't suck and preparing for further expansion.
I'd downvote this post if I could. It's pushing people into OSS contributions only to land jobs. My advice: if you don't subconsciously feel like you want to contribute, don't do it. As to how to start, pick a small bug, typo, lacking documentation aspect, small missing feature or performance issue that annoys you in your everyday FOSS software and solve it.
There are more jobs in tech than people to fill them, places are always hiring even if FAANG is laying off. One day that dynamic will change, it hasn't yet.
If by "lens flares" we're referring to the 6 spikey lines jetting from the stars, those are known as diffraction spikes and are a result of the 3 spider vanes holding the secondary mirror in front of the primary mirror cluster at the center of the optical axis. As light enters the primary mirror cluster in the JWT, bright points of lights such as stars have visible aberrations due to the position and orientation of these vanes. In the JWT which uses 3 of them, their orientation creates this 6 spike diffraction pattern. In the case of the Hubble telescope, which is based on the RC telescope design, it uses 4 vanes which creates a 4 spike diffraction pattern instead.
Maybe we need fewer cars rather than newer cars.
- The purpose of the project isn't clear (Trying to do heaps of different things)

- Your ask was not clear (Asking for help with everything)

- It's not clear which 5 projects/ideas Replit "stole"

I have nothing to do with Replit and I dislike them after the intern project thing, but this is fair criticism from Amjad.
sorry but I think the features you listed as being stolen seem pretty generic. For example "mobile IDE (ipad pro with keyboard)" doesn't tell me what specific IDE features you'd implement. In this case, Replit made the "joystick" feature. Same with "team development and other features".

Also it seems you're blaming Amjad for your project being delayed? Not sure how that is related.
Yes but you do not face deportation right? Infact if you were to move to the us on a H1B yould get your gc in a couple of years. GCs (for Indian born) are like a 25 year wait! Doesn't matter your citizenship. Govt perpetuated racism my friend!
I don't think so. Google often knowingly and intentionally breaks apps (through API deprecation) because it's more convenient for them or that it is costly to maintain.
Nothing criminal there.

Same for Easylist, if they decide that a quota of 100000 requests per IP+UA per day is the maximum, that's their choice.
They owe nothing to the consumers of the lists.

That being said; Easylist actually benefits from being distributed in many apps; it is really valuable to influence / control adblocking lists, so the more flexible they are to the browser developers, the better (I guess).
I could see disabling viewing raw links. But if the repo becomes popular to fork what would GH do? The friction of using git instead of HTTP will prevent 99.9% of hotlinking. So it probably couldn’t become too popular.
Yeah, I'm an interrupter and it's a tough urge to suppress. That said, I can and absolutely do suppress it, especially in meetings with people who I know are not interrupters, so it definitely frustrates me when there are interrupters who just make no urge to suppress it. In those cases, I try to use my interrupting for good - interrupt the interrupter to ask the very smart but quiet non-interrupters in the room for their thoughts.
As nerds we have an advantage here. We can use prosumer/professional oriented tech that respects your privacy more. Don’t get a Ring. Use your own cameras and a Synology and, if you must, their e2e-encrypted backup solution.

If there’s no privacy-respecting equivalents, then… do without.

You can do this (crudely but effective enough) with a any watch if you take a second to make a simple sundial. Rotate it with the stick (or whatever) until the shadow reflects the actual time and you’re pointing North (in the Northern hemisphere). It helps to be familiar with the angle range of how time is broken up in the day on a sundial but it works.
I don't think anyone in the EU is fundamentally against, but it seems reasonable to be worried about their 'staying power'. Nobody wants to go through entry and exit dances every few years. Also, it would be grand if British representatives would start showing up for meetings. Them being relatively uninvolved must have contributed to their sense of EU being unmanageable. Guess what: you gotta participate to exercise influence (and understand what's going on).
Medicine was not at all scientific until recently. There's a great podcast series about the rise of evidence-based medicine (over authority-based medicine) that I loved, but I can't seem to find it now... Anybody know what I'm thinking of?
Based on my limited experience, major supporters of Russia invasion among US citizens are either far-right, or far-left. Horseshoe theory has never been so evident.

It sounds like you looked everywhere except for ripgrep's README. It explains upsides and downsides. Has benchmarks (with links to more, including cases where grep takes minutes and ripgrep takes seconds). It also has a link to a FAQ addressing whether ripgrep can replace grep and explains a bit more context.

More to the point, the comment you were responding to said "yeah but with less quirks." It didn't say "no" quirks. So your comment ended up being a silly non-sequitur.

Your follow-up comment looks ever worse to be honest, and sounds like an argument for never building anything different at all.

And half your comment is whinging about hype. Really? Yeah people get excited about shit that helps them get stuff done more pleasantly and faster than before. Who would have thunk it. Some great mystery.

Your comments get a big thumbs down from me (author of ripgrep).
