Yes because using an operating system from the other 1 trillion dollar market cap company is going to be a better alternative. Meet the new boss…

Okay. So they are “out there to try”. Have the majority of users been clamoring for it?

Where are all of the “innovations” that the majority of people care about - or even enough to make a profitable business - on Android where you can sideload and have third party web browser engines?
I’m Not Sure That (If?) GitHub Copilot Is a Problem
One thing I can say which is probably a low hanging fruit. Error handling. Return errors in such a way that the application using the library can actually do something with it.
That's still ultimately up to the language - if it does say that constness is always legal to cast away, then compilers can't put const stuff into rodata.

There's also stuff that obviously can't end up in rodata, such as const locals that are initialized from arguments or I/O. Sometimes people assume that this means that casting away constness is legal in such cases.
Oh, I'm quite aware. I spent most of my life dealing with them. Psychosis, paranoia, and flashbacks are a bitch.

Let me play my tiny violin for the Gigacorporation Microsoft that was so unfairly treated by ARM that they just had to take "Whatever Qualcomm will ship them". Poor Multi Billion Dollar, they never had a chance to compete on a fair playing ground.

Nah, this is just organizational incompetence. The same reason we got cortana, windows 8 or adds in the start bar.

App Store Review Guidelines Now Prohibit 'Hookup' Apps
Second Sight's 'bionic eyes' have gone obsolete while still implanted
> Apps may use in-app purchase to sell and sell services related to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), such as minting, listing, and transferring. Apps may allow users to view their own NFTs, provided that NFT ownership does not unlock features or functionality within the app.

Apps may allow users to browse NFT collections owned by others, provided that the apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase.

This seems like it restricts a lot of the imagined use cases folks had. You can't use them to unlock functionality.
Your ziplock bag is plastic, cheap non plastic containers aren’t generally airtight. A cereal boxes and similar items have a sealed plastic bag inside to prevent the food from going stale by the time you open it.

Sure a glass jar with a rubber gasket works as would a tin can etc, but they require a lot of energy and resources to make which means real environmental costs. Aluminum foil is one of the better options cost wise but it requiers a lot of energy and it’s even less biodegradable than plastic.
Wow, I don't know how to respond to this.

It's an interview of a person that spent 12 years behind bars for espionage by a person that has a mastery of both the English language and spycraft. When you read it you know that the subject is not telling the truth entirely. The author has seen enough to point-out more tell-tale signs than you would notice otherwise. And yet the author sees no evidence that one of the crimes reputed to have been committed had been by said ex-con. He even returns to it later to add a post-script and again drops more bread crumbs.

It'll take a person somewhere between 90-120m to read. It's like a movie or short story that le Carre might have written but non-fiction. If you have to see a lesson from it, there are plenty depending on your world-view. It might even expand said view.

Oh, declarative doesn't necessarily mean no-code. Airbyte data integration connectors are built with an SDK in Python, Java, and a low-code SDK that was just released...

You can then build custom connectors on top of these and many users actually need to modify an existing connector, but would rather start from a template than from scratch.

Airbyte also provides a CLI and YAML configuration language that you can use to declare sources, destinations and connections without the UI: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/octavia-cli...

I agree with you that code is here to stay and power users need to see the code and modify it. That's why Airbyte code is open-source.
Slightly off topic, but it makes me wonder if free range forest pigs could help prevent major forest fires by keeping brush down.
Assuming you want to use solar and grid at the same time, how would you avoid using a grid tie system?

You definitely need to match phase with the grid, or bad things will happen, and you definitely need it to not back-feed current into downed lines. Is there some other expensive thing the grid tie is doing, or are you proposing some other setup?
I look forward to a future where everything is SQL at this point. It seems we have spent a significant amount of effort avoiding it, but it time and time again is the best way to query your data.

I recently started using Steampipe and it has made my life about 30x better not having to deal with the AWS or Slack API. Essentially a tool to let you query their APIs using SQL, behind the scenes it boots up a Postgres database and essentially does ETL into it.

It doesn't do any updates to resources though, so back to the API again...

1. For web SaaS it’s a huge benefit. Because it allows you to download assets you know are needed prior to logging into your the SaaS app that would otherwise cause a huge initial load to be slow.

2. What you described sounds like a net positive since you didn’t state any negatives.

3. If the concern is mobile bandwidth cost, simple solution is for Apple to only enable this feature for desktop Safari (not iOS).

4. There is a technical solution with cookie sandboxing.
Darn the first couple saved URLs are for videos that have been removed. I did buy one Lakshmi song last year on itunes, my favorite Lakshmi mantra, and it's still available (with lovely CGI):

Sri Lakshmi Gayatri Mantra 108 Times | Powerful Mantra For Wealth & Luxuries

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugWlHwkOlfM

Note that I am not in a position to make any kind religious endorsement of this or any other videos! Consider the source!

I'll hit that a lot, but it looks like I'll mostly be tossing "Diwali" and "Lakshmi" into the Youtube search function, perhaps along with you.

PS - I swear that video was available at higher quality last year.

It would be interesting to know the history here, as you say, since there might be, to some degree, a response to Christmas involved amongst the diaspora? Such a response apparently underlies the current Jewish celebrations of Hanukkah.
If unicorns exist, but humans can never observe them do you really care whether they exist or not?

I generally am reducing questions that are only relevant to philosophy such as "Do real numbers exist?" to questions which you can actually answer.

To make something clear, rationals have a finite description. If you allow infinite descriptions, all real numbers can be described by Cauchy sequences. When I talk about countably many names, I am talking about the set of finite names humans use for numbers. You cannot meaningfully have infinitely many sets of finite names that humans agree on so you cannot cover the real numbers with names.

The interesting number paradox only works for countable sets unless I am mistaken. You can have "interesting" real numbers.
Isn't there a similar study where playing Tetris helped people recover faster?
Though p-values are probabilities.

They are the probability that the data seen (or more extreme) in the experiment were generated given the null-hypothesis is true.

Now, of course to fully understand the p, you also have to understand the null hypothesis. And yeah, sometimes it is misspecified. (by e.g testing out many null-hypotheses and only showing the more interesting ones, or accidentally creating a bad unlikely null-hypothesis which may allow for many uninteresting alternative hypotheses.)
And my point was the the average student is presented with this giant, for them, formula as a finished thing and have no way to grok it.

And that if you instead start with squares and rectangles and built up to it, it'll be less daunting.

But my point wasn't about this one formula specifically, but about the approach in general.
I love that idea. I bet Amazon could plunk one down somewhere sunny, like in Arizona, US if they wanted to.
I'm sure they can figure out the history well enough to depict it, or punt on the accuracy. They probably figured it wouldn't be a popular enough setting for the intended audience.

It's been done a few times. Prince of Persia was set in a fantasy land without a real attempt at historical accuracy, but it was sorta Sasanid Persia. Similarly, Aladdin in Iraq. There was also the 2004 Alexander which was quite accurate, but it wasn't a good movie. And Lawrence of Arabia, sorta fictionalized but accurate in spirit, which was the best.

300 was interesting cause they made it clear the story was being told from the Greek perspective by having Dilios narrate it, and he hyped it up even more than the actual Greek historians did, instead of the movie presenting it as a factual view. The movie still pissed off the Iranian government, but whatever.

Do we know how much of commercial real estate is owned by foreign entities? ie. Chinese elites laundering money out of China into the West? I wonder if they have any protections to save their investments or is their money made from value generated in China just literally disappearing?
The solution to chicken-or-egg problems is known: you spend money to just overpower the problem. But MS and Qualcomm aren't doing that; they're half-assing their ARM hardware to save a little money.
Would it make sense to include Sqlite FTS5 in that mix?
Everything uses NTFS journaling as far as I know.

I actually solved that by using the native macOS fsevents API which can watch the whole filesystem for changes, and I can instantly update the SQLite db I use for the index through that.

The problem is actually enumerating and searching the whole database, that's the slow part. Right now I have over 5 million rows in it and passing the SELECT results to fzf is the slowest part, taking a few seconds at least on an M1 Max.

I'm not sure how Everything presented the results so fast, with metadata and everything.

Note that the author, Michael Weinberg, is "Executive Director of NYU Law School's Engelberg Center for Innovation Law and Policy" as well as "President of the Board of the Open Source Hardware Association." He is an actual lawyer (who also knows about open source) unlike most people I see who comment online about Copilot, and whether something is fair use or not.

I'm not going to comment on whether he's right or wrong, lest I fall into the same trap I just outlined, as I'm also not a lawyer, but, unrelated to this particular case, I see this kind of thing often on the internet (as well as real life), where people who have no knowledge or experience about a particular topic go on to comment as if they were an authority on the subject. I see it on /r/legaladvice and other subreddits, and on HN here in many cases, including on certain lab leak theories. It reminds me of the Gell-Man Amnesia Effect.
Really appreciate the socketsite blog/forum and the stories and price comparisons, etc., that they publish.

I’ve gotta agree with you there. I love my Apple gear, but I hear and understand the criticisms against them. The above argument sounds to me like “you think one monopolist is bad? Wait until there are 2 of them!”
I can only share what worked for me, but I'm guessing there'll be a large amount of overlap with what you've already tried and what others have suggested. This worked 100% for me:

- Giving up alcohol completely.

- Losing weight, from 215lbs to about 165.

- Avoiding caffeine after 2pm -- others are more sensitive though, so you might have to nuke it entirely.

- Started taking an SSRI. Obviously this is not a sleep protocol, but I'm convinced it helped me. My mind is no longer spinning with anxious thoughts when I'm in bed.

- Avoiding drinking fluids at night. My bladder is championship-level, and I almost never have to get up in the night to urinate, but it can disrupt your sleep even if you don't get up.

My dad has a lot more trouble sleeping than I did, and he's been having a much better time sleeping since taking some supplements that Dr. Andrew Huberman suggested on one of his podcasts. Look up his episodes on sleep. I'll look up the supplements later, when I'm home.

The IDE is mostly designed as an extension to an editor heavy workflow (e.g. I use Sublime + VIM to build IHP itself). So it's unlikely to work well with a Chromebook. A workaround might be to use the GitPod integration for a web based code editor.

The IDE is btw entirely optional and everything can be done via code. E.g. all operations done via the visual Schema Designer are saved in the Application/Schema.sql file. That file can be edited from a code editor as you want. All operations in the schema designer operate on the AST of the parsed Schema.sql file.
I agree, but the biggest obstacle is still hardware compatibility. Any device you buy out there that plugs into a computer will work with Windows. They might not work with Ubuntu or even have been tested with Ubuntu (so even the manufacturer might not know whether it's compat).

Having said that, many devices just need to sync with your phone and not computer, so there's maybe less of an issue than before. For example, my bike computer doesn't need to be Win compat since it syncs with an app on my phone.
The problems described in the "Routing" section are trivially automated. You do not even need a separate data loading library because react-router-dom ships one.

"Gangbusters" has become a sort of generic intensifier but the original phrase was something like "to come on like Gangbusters", referring to a radio show with an obnoxiously-noisy intro (it's on Youtube if you're curious). Increasingly distant metaphorical use and people falling out of familiarity with the origin of the phrase led us to modern constructions like "my tomatoes are going gangbusters!" which don't really fit with the original usage.

It appears the consensus is HN is hesitant about the Windows on ARM push. I really want this to succeed.

If this gains traction then we should start seeing support for windows laptops on ARM. As a dev who prefers windows but has a m1 MacBook b/c of the battery life I really hope this works out.
This is how it should be. "Daily status updates" regarding what you're working on are useless. It should be a short message or email containing roadblocks or small updates to let others know you unblocked them that is sent to people on a need-to-know basis, which does not include your manager (it may include your project manager) unless they are also a developer. The whole team does not need to know what you're up to

> along an axis roughly centered on their width.

I'm actually not making that assumption. I think it would be easier for my eyes if they did have the same transformation, but they clearly don't. My problem is that it's an impossible transformation!

If you place a piece of paper on your screen, as a horizontal reference line, you'll see the bottom (vertical) portion of the T is aligned with the left of the I. It extends all the way down. The top left of the T is also aligned with the left of the I. I don't see how this is possible.

Here's an image with T translated over to I, to demonstrate: https://imgur.com/a/aSJeYxT

The only way this is possible is if T has a longer horizontal line, which why it looks odd to me, a sort of "duck or woman" effect alternating between "is it left or center aligned", depending on if you look at the top or bottom, with the usual assumption that the characters would have the same height.

Our design approach with Aserto has been to have a single OPA-based decision engine integrated with a built-in directory. So Topaz carries this forward.

“just use x instead”
Much of the therapy I have been involved with has been arranged not just around dealing with negative thoughts, but more fundamentally getting into a position where you can approach negative thoughts without moving into a triggered state.

I think I get what you're saying; I could, for instance, just drink a lot every day to ignore a variety of ideas, but it's much healthier in the long run to deal with those ideas directly.

Unfortunately, the reason why there are so many palliative coping strategies is that unless a person is in a state where they can examine those uncomfortable thoughts, then it's just creating more harm and the person isn't able to deal with the issue. That in turn often leads to the maladaptive coping that leads people into therapy in the first place.

So a common therapeutic goal getting people to a point where they can first recognize that they are in an upset state, second calm themselves without totally disengaging from the event and, then (if possible) work on whatever thoughts or events led to becoming upset in that manner.

That work is contingent on the first two parts of that; palliative care to help people get into a place where they can do the first two things without engaging in more harmful types of coping strategies (drinking, for instance) seems like a reasonable method.
> ...advocating for a series of short tenure stints as a "hack" to get into high pay positions quickly.

I see these job hoppers coming from a mile away. The worst part is the rampant "what is absolute least, gaming min-maxing I can get away with to nab my metrics" mindset they rampantly infuse some of their co-workers with.

One way to counter them is to meticulously observe and record accomplishments of everyone and toot everyone's horn to management. This drowns out the Short-Timer Sam's key strategy of success bombing management and they either see the light and stop their shortcuts rampancy (never seen it happen, but I'm sure miracles are out there) or leave because they don't nab the promotion they're angling for by their internal deadline before they head for the next job.
