> It is doubtful that a PPC system can boot an intel MacOS HD. One is RISC the other CISC.

That's the point of fat binaries: they contain .text sections for several architectures. Even the installation DVD was a single one, for both platforms.

Some more modern example of the same concept:

Terminal: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e]
Terminal (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
Terminal (for architecture arm64e): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e
I like the concept but I really wish they would lay it on a little less thick about this being for neurodivergent people.

Am I the only one that doesn't have any strong preference for some editor?

I am always super impressed by all the comments stating how much of a night/day difference editors make to them.

I have to say that I have tried many (VSC, neovim, Emacs and Spacemacs mostly) in the last five years but at the end of the day I feel like none makes such a difference to me so I just default to whatever my colleagues use to make collaboration (fixing ide issuesm, exchanging configs and tips) easier.
If comments on HN are anything to go by, linux on the desktop is perfect and easily usable by any office worker.

I'm sure if you walk up to Susan in accounting, handed her an arch install usb, she'll have tmux and neovim up and configured by lunch!

In all seriousness though. I'm not sure a lot of HN commenters (probably myself included) have any actual perspective on how a normal person wants to interact with their computers, or what business need from desktop endpoints.

The fact that anyone things that editing source is a good way to configure a window manager (dwm) is mind boggling.
Harold McGee himself (author of the food geek bible On Food and Cooking) also presented this idea back in 2011: https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2011/01/15/you-can-cook-...

> I just did the experiment of cooking a pound of pasta in just enough water for it to absorb. I thought, "While I'm at it, why don't I play with the heating as well? I'll start them in cold water and see what happens."

> I found that starting in cold water means that the pasta doesn't stick to itself, which is great. Then it turns out that it heats up, it cooks just fine and you end up with pasta that is not at all sticky. The liquid is a little thick, but that's wonderful because you can make a sauce out of it.
Surely normal people like us can't possibly understand the 5D chess Elon plays.
>I think it helps to think of our social environment as some kind of ecosystem that has evolved to fulfill various needs and shouldn't be messed with. The results will be similar to if you take a few species from biological ecosystems and just randomly put them together - the result is not going to look very pretty.

This is just a real gem of an analogy.

The move to ban circumcision is picking up.

You should be honest about this. This wasn't really a "race" thing. You *wanted* to do this to your son. You did this without his consent. And you did something that is completely irreversible.

Don't compare this to fishing, riding a bike, or even using a knife. All of those are necessary skills, or at the very least, useful skills for children to know.

You did something that *was actually risky to do*, for literally no other reason other than this awful justification about "race".

And for what its worth, I'm Iranian. So I get how _expected_ it is from culture.

For me, “bare to the metal” is one of the main benefits of C. I don’t see go have that.

So, what are, in your opinion, the lasting concepts of C, and how does go embody them?
> But for those of us looking for a C alternative, we have it, and it's Go. Is it a perfect replacement? I don't think so. But it is the closest spiritual successor the industry has.

I don't understand the "spiritual successor" part: Go intentionally broke ABI compatibility with the C world and intentionally does a lot of very un-C-like things: a large standard library, a GC'd runtime, a compiler toolchain that reimplements the "standard" toolchain, etc.

Go is a clear productivity, reliability, and security improvement over C. But I don't know if I would characterize it as a successor language, other than in the "came from the Bell crowd" sense. Which also applies to C++.

Edit: Go is also not well known for binary interoperability, which is one of C's main selling points.
How do you explain the demographics of anything? And why do you think it's your job to "fix" all human endeavor to reflect demographics? Why is that a good outcome? How do you measure the demographic BTW? Because if it's global demographics most human endeavors have not near enough Asians, and far too many English speakers.

> Was that the original Mastodon?

Likely. I didn't investigate alternative implementations.

> It'll need a team for coverage of moderation, support, perhaps 24/7 ops - but then anything with a lot of users will, surely?

I'm under the impression that the claims of Mastodon include "self-moderation" and, because of its supposed decentralization, 24/7 uptime is not needed for any one instance. I have been imagining it like torrents, where no single node matters. Once the initial seeding is complete, the content lives across many instances. If it's not like that, then claims for its decentralization are highly overblown.
It will get moldy before it ever gets cooked. Learn from my fail.
The message was obvious by everyone reading this post.
I think we need to better distinguish between comments about the current state of things (like GP) and comments about the future (like yours). GP is saying that currently the UX sucks, and this matters for people who want to use a social platform right now (think: non-programmers, technically challenged people, the mainstream, etc). Only enthusiasts are going to want to suffer through all the research and hurdles necessary to use to Mastodon because they think it'll be better in the future
Yeah, cry me a river for the poor heart-broken decision makers, who (in fact) aren't actually losing their job.
There's presumably a gap between the current level and what's legally required, and they can afford to let things slip a bit without getting in trouble.
I would probably take the job and proceed to do fuck all until they fired me again.

A company tried to get me to come back and do handover after terminating a contract in breach a few years back. Agreement was a month. I did nothing for the entire month because they didn’t specify a deliverable. Due to working through an agency that was larger than the company I got paid and they got told to piss off when they complained.
We did hand everybody money, which is why the economy is about to crash as a result of the inflation it propagated.

Monkey patching I agree with but IMO it's unfair to lump metaprogramming into that same bucket.
Do any popular sites or services have them? Most internet forum and social network social you can setup don't. Nor do Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.

Honestly, unless you're using a system that specifically markets itself on this (Signal, Telegram, etc), you probably shouldn't expect any encrypted communications.
Shouldn't accessibility in a site or app like twitter already be a solved problem?
Word tip: exacerbating not exasperating.
I suspect you misunderstood the word "bridging". I interpret that as FFI. Rust <-> C FFI has some tedium, but it's straightforward. The only complexity comes if you don't fully understand C.
They just don't exist like they do on Twitter. We do get spam bots now and then, but users report and block them quickly. They usually give up before the admin gets around to banning them.

Each server individually isn't a great target for spam, since the populations are low, and there isn't a good way to spam outside of your server, because the entire instance can block you.

Not foolproof in the least, but I haven't seen anything more than a dozen individual spam bots in the last two years.
At least a few of these are derivative of other projects.

I don't deny the engineering innovation of Facebook but it must be moderated to some extent by the way ideas are flowing between engineers at mega-corps, probably from at least Bell Labs, if not earlier.
How would you "permit copilot learning on it"? Say, what if you could upload that code to a certain website and grant the website owner the necessary license to share your work with others (via copilot)? It sounds like that would work!
The private key is used in HTTP Signatures for authentication. The signature does not cover the body of the http request and is not stored or published. The http post contains an http headers that signs just a few other header fields. The signature is only valid for a short time.

The frustration you're feeling is that, no matter how obvious the tone or implication, advocates will never acknowledge that it is real because what you are describing is a phenomenon that cannot exist.

It's gaslighting.
I framed it this way because GP was make a pejorative comparison.
I don't think this is the flickering the original poster is referring to. Dimmers are a bit of a nightmare with LEDs, however. I usually buy high quality (pricey) dimmer switches and good quality LEDs that are listed by the dimmer as compatible.

The flicker that bothers me, and maybe the GP, is likely due to cost cutting in the LED power supply. Not enough filtering or ability to handle the normal voltage dips in a home electrical system. As above, the solution is usually to spend more $ on bulbs, but not a guarantee.

Double edged sword. What the author proposes can be found. Go to some small low endowment private or public school for less money. Oh wait, you say, I don’t want to go there! The buildings aren’t as nice, the dorms are cramped and drab, there aren’t as many resources, the food sucks, the Wi-Fi is spotty, heck even the website sucks. Why is this? Because they don’t have the human or financial resources to do so.

You get what you pay for. Student and parent expectations have changed and so have college and universities. If you want what colleges used to be like 50 years ago go to a small private or public school that is just barely staying afloat, it will be more or less similar to the so called halcyon days of low cost, no frills college.

The thing is—people don’t want this as voted for by their choice in school. The biggest drops in enrollment are at community colleges, state schools, and small private schools. If people were price sensitive cheap schools would have people busting down the doors to get in. They don’t. In fact, when a college lowers their tuition, they paradoxically often see a dip in enrollments.

Why? Because human brains are broken. We connate price with prestige and prestige with quality.

Colleges get punished if they lower the price, so what do they do instead? They increase the discount rate. Rarely do families pay the sticker price. Google any college tuition and you will see average price paid. It is typically anywhere from 50-75% of sticker price.
It's much better today.

Sure when it was hype a decade ago you'd get lots of flashy tools and library every other days, but a large part of it was really wonky.

Now that the dust settled, the tools that remain largely used are much higher quality.
Fedora 36 comes with a bunch of BPFs loaded (you can see their log messages in journalctl), but I have been unable to find any documentation about exactly what they are.

Sorry, I thought the sarcasm was clearer! Many software engineers are very passionate (to the point of evangelism) about their favorite coding/console font, whether ligatures in code are the work of the devil, etc., which makes the outrage over Gruber's opinion kind of funny to me.
When you update your app with new features you are mostly touching a lot of stuff behind the scenes and are mostly altering some part of your accessibility features. Elon announced rapid changes and new features...
Twitter may not cost billions to run, but it's my bet it still costs far more than you expect. Especially when you get to scale and have to avoid things like DDOS and extremely high connection rates and information exchange while retaining low latency. As you say it's the size of the network that makes it important.

If you think advertisers are your biggest problem then I'll have to tell you about governments. Piss off the EU with privacy issues and you'll be fined. Piss off Russia/China you'll be banned. Don't keep some level of control over the violent threats US posters are making and you'll be civilly sued as an accessory.

And you're still going to spend a massive amount of time and effort banning crap if you want any of your user base to hang around, lest you just create the next 4chan (which even does a fair amount of their own banning).
I really doubt it’s a lot. I really don’t think it’s much at all, and that’s why they’ve got the asterisk on the number.

Water has really high specific heat capacity, and there’s a lot more water than noodles (by mass). You’re using a lot more energy to heat the water than the noodles. Most people switch to low heat (the water just has to stay boiling, how fast doesn’t much matter) at about the same time this would have you switch it off. So you’re saving a little bit of energy for the last maybe 25% of the process.
I prefer it too. I'm definitely faster and better at bagging. I don't get home with broken eggs and squished bread.

I also can avoid the cashier commenting about my items ("I've never seen this before.", "what is this?", "Wow, this is expensive.", etc)

The receipt checkers though, yeah that one gets to me. Whatever advantages or time savings I realized by working with the robot just went out the window when I have to queue up in the "papers please" line.

One time I bought some Fiji water, the lady was staring at my receipt and frantically looking through my cart. She finally asked what "fiji" was and I told her it was the water. "Oh, I don't usually buy that off-brand stuff" she commented. What, that doesn't really make sense and also no one asked you what _you_ prefer.
Couscous is pasta and “cooks” just fine for in a cold soak. Doesn’t even take that long.

You can commit codes and set the time/data to which you want to be in. LOC is dump in all ways.
I remember in the Atlanta area when Cynthia McKinney was running for reelection, and a large number of conservatives crossed party lines to vote for her opponent, Denise Majette. It upset a lot of Democrats, but the idea of cross primary voting seems to be one that both parties used to undermine the other.

That would seem a strike against an open system, especially if you have a party with a larger presence in a district that can negatively disrupt the other party.

Of course the idea is to have no parties, but like-minded people coalesce, and it’s nearly impossible to get rid of them. You could try nonpartisan, but with nearly 200 years of a party system, it would be nearly impossible to ever get rid of it. Without infringing on free speech of course
Yup. What a time to be alive.
What lasting concepts of C do you have in mind? I think Go if anything is a contender for Python: a significant number of use cases that require C e.g. embedded, hardware interaction, kernel etc. are really not good use cases for Go at all.

If there isn't a substantive point, or a clarification, to add, then don't reply and save your credibility.

Anyways, I will explain again:

Local reporting is the only potential source of evidence that anything fell on land at all. Not just for this case, but for nearly all debris cases.

Anyone not in the local area wouldn't know if anything actually hit the ground. With audio-visual evidence being a part of it, but those still need solid backing by a credible source, not ambiguous language.

The closest thing to solid evidence here seems to be a photo on Twitter of a long pipe on the ground, but no one credible is willing to stake their reputation and claim it definitely is a rocket component.
Form of payment is not used as identity verification anywhere lol. Completely unrelated.
The discussion I've seen frames it something like this:

Servers rise and fall, it's part of the life cycle here. The admins couldn't handle the size of the server, and it was causing a rapidly degrading experience for everyone. Shutting down the server was mostly in the best personal interests of the admin, but people seem to be respecting them for that. They did the responsible thing by shutting down new registration, making very loud announcements, and giving everyone as much time as possible to migrate their accounts.

In other words, any instance will shut down sooner or later, and the way the admin handled this particular case is the most respectful way to treat the users.

Sad that it happened, but much respect for handling it as gracefully as possible.

> I really don't think companies care what their ads appear alongside.

It's always funny to see people on HN confidently assert absolute horseshit based on no experience.

As someone who's worked in ad-supported publishing, they absolutely do. A lot of time and energy goes into trying to ensure ads never appear alongside content that the purchaser doesn't want, and failure usually results in running ads for free, at a minimum.
