4 spaces and tab not being perfectly aligned sounds like a feature, not a bug to me.

In what scenario would you want them to be aligned? Surely any scenario would be improper use?

100% agree with the rest of course, it's always been a shock to me how little love the essential tooling gets in Windows. You'd think with all the budgets and the fat salaries they'd simply have a competent engineer or two on every (category of) tools. But then you hear about stuff like this or the Terminal debacle and it's like they're not even trying.
Thanks for reminding me why I shouldn't go to my computer right now and try getting this working with my 2070!
I transitioned from Ruby to Python for scripting tasks, with a heavy heart, for the simple reason that linuxes typically have Python installed by default, but not Ruby, which made working with and sharing Ruby code in diverse and often locked-down environments too painful.
Heh. You're right, I did. Yet, I did not have fun. YMMV.
That’s a little vague, so forgive me if I’m assuming too far.

You are making changes to a products UX based on graphical inference?

I could see a decent business supporting the logic problems a UX designed from AI graphics would introduce ;)

Not only that, Cutler went to MS essentially with a team and a project (that didn't get accepted at Digital) to redo VMS from scratch using same principles but with new experience and in cleaner way.
> If you feel like you’re reaching a glass ceiling, don’t be afraid to go outside that box. Record some lectures and put them online. Self publish a book. Start your own school.

Yeah, I have an introductory programming course that I'm developing (like how to think algorithmically with flowcharts and pseudo-code for beginners) adapted from another class I teach, and I'm exploring teaching platforms such as Thinkific and Teachable. I also have some other courses (building a 16-bit OS from scratch, basic data structures, etc.) that I would like to develop as well.
This semester I have a lot of class hours, but next semester I plan to put them online (and maybe do a Show HN).

But thanks for your words! It is a confirmation that I really need to do something else (by the side, at least).
I think the ruling class of "newer" Egypt was greek.

Pyramid Egypt is "older" Egypt, whose civilization had already died out a long time before that.

"Old Kingdom" is pyramid Egypt
"New Kingdom" is greek Egypt

There was a weak Middle Kingdom, too
> The Windows 10/11 "settings" are a hole pile of shit.

Hear, hear. Every time I want to do something with my networks, I have to guess which settings window I need. Win 10 settings window? Network and Sharing Center? Change adapter settings, aka Network Connections? Hyper-V Manager? Wrong! If you want to make your Hyper-V virtual Ethernet switch a private network, you have to bust out PowerShell!
Google has by far the majority of searches (in this category, not counting eBay/marketplace/insta searches). Delisting or even pushing to the second page would drastically reduce the effectiveness of such malware campaigns.

There are a number of super important software tools that big platform vendors have been obstinate or hostile to supporting or securing. VLC and putty spring to mind.
As a father of a 1.5 year old girl this sounds incredibly awesome and I'm hoping you will release it somehow, looking forward to your Show HN post!
I wonder how their upkeep and bulging expense (especially across difficult terrain) compares to that of the small nuclear power plant described here. We could determine the distance when the HVDC line still makes more sense.
That he’s quoting fitts law to me shows how frozen in time he is. The start menu is something you seldom use; the milliseconds saved in mouse time is effectively irrelevant over time, and completely irrelevant in a touch based system. What’s more important is that people understand what’s happening, the system is simple and self explanatory, and feel happy using it (meaning the UI/UX is attractive and consistent). I’m not saying Windows 11 is any of those things, but Fitts Law is the furthest from their worries. Yet it’s the kind of thing that came out of HCI conferences for years with little lasting translation into the modern era.
Wasm also can't do computed goto for interpreters, so it's at a disadvantage for this benchmark in general
My objective is to get people to argue precisely why copying is bad.

Calling it "stealing", "piracy" and other ugly words is a strawman argument - we all agree stealing (physical items) and piracy (on high seas) is bad, so that would imply that copying is bad, too, since "copying is stealing and piracy". It's not, and additional arguments are needed.

The legal battle happened because it wasn't just that MS hired Cutler out of Digital - They effectively hired out a team that will as already working on design for next generation OS based on the same principles as VMS, and litigation went down on that IP.
There's a popular online video game that I wouldn't name that seems to be turning a blind eye on Linux users stripping out the anticheat to run the game through Proton, which is very nice of them.
The previous version works fine and has performance on par with NVIDIA. I'm on Linux using the ROCm platform.

There are some specialized third party performance optimizations you might miss out on though, but nothing major IMO.
As they should, unless they believe law enforcement is acting outside of their authority or the government in their opinion is illegitimate (not, "I don't like the regime") or foreign to their resident jurisdiction. Else, they are criminals.
President of VideoLAN here.

The issue is two-fold here:

- On Google Search, Google refuses to unlist websites that are clearly promoting adware, spyware and violating the brands of Open Source projects (VLC is not the only one impacted).

In addition, the ads reported are never deleted.

- On Google Chrome, the safe browsing team refuses to flag some websites, even after long explanations about what the binaries are doing. One of the reason is that "the binaries are too big" (sic.). The other reason, is that they scan only the installer, and of course, the installer downloads other things.

This has been going on for years, at least 10.

One of the most egregious one is VLC.de which inundates the German web.

The thing is that it's not that they steal traffic (why would we care), it is that they install spyware, adware or other rootkits, all the time.

This is why I say that Google Safe Browsing is a total joke, and that Google does not care about its users security.

And then to the right as they get older. A surprising number of British politicians on the right were Marxists in their youth.

Honest truth right here.
Who were the political actors.

Another misdirection is calling this a "bankruptcy". It is a liquidation. The only assets FTX had was other people's money.

"The question that has never been answered is how SBF made money in the first place."

It is the same issue we see with every "tech" company. The so-called "tech" is worthless. How much would anyone pay for the FTX software. That is why "tech" companies must conduct surveillance and sell ad services. They do not produce anything of value.

If the "value" of whatever is being sold by the "tech" company1 can go to zero,2 then it is questionable that it had any value to begin with.

1. If they are are in fact selling anything. Many sell nothing. They just take money from VC and try to grow.

2. For example, so-called "cryto" tokens.

People rushing to finish your game in under 2 hours to claim a refund are not your market. If they make up a large enough percentage of purchases for it to matter, you are going bankrupt anyway. They are not playing at beating your game. They are playing at beating the system. Like all those pirates who collect huge libraries of software, movies or music that they are never going to use or care about so little they would never pay anything at all for it.

This reminds me of the same response regarding generics from Go users:

Over ten years later, Go gets generics.

Human artists derive their inspiration and styles from a large set of copyrighted works, but they are free to produce new art despite of that. Art would have developed much slower and be much poorer if, for example, Impressionism or Cubism had been entangled in long ownership confrontations in courts.

Then there's the fact that humanity has been able to develop and share art and literary works for thousands of years without the modern copyright system.

It would be interesting to see if this technology can erode the copyright concept a bit. Maybe not remove it completely, but perhaps influence people to create wider definitions for "fair use", and undo the extensions that Disney lobbyists have created.

They won’t be shunned. That’s the point. In the other model they would be. But in this model people will actively seek out breakthroughs to get praise.

Everyone says they want constructive feedback. But most people actively avoid it. If I told you as a young scientist you can go into a field where you will never get praised, just criticized or Vice versa where do you think even most of the top young scientists would go?

No one wants to have their career be “I think I did good work, but pretty much everyone just found issues so it never really made traction”.

Why does customer goodwill matter at all? Even if they make everyone absolutely hate using Windows, what are customers going to do, switch to a different OS? Decades of experience has shown that people will whine and complain endlessly about Windows, that this is the last straw, and how they're going to switch to Linux "real soon now", and they never do.

What does money matter once a study is already done? Finding the right incentive balance between novelty and rigor isn't trivial, I get the debate surrounding grant funding. But there should be 0 debate from the perspective of what is publishable, given that it's already done.

My guess is part of the resistance is fear from established PIs that their work won't actually replicate. Even if a minority of profs, I suspect some of the most famous and powerful ones have cut corners or equivocated at one point or another, to get to where they are. It's easy for many other PIs to then get swept up in the "opinion of the field".

I repond to incidents where SEO is being used to selectively target users and compromise their network (typical ransomware gangs these days). VLC maybe special to certain types of users but I assure you there are many SEO optimizes malware delivery campaigns. Google is not a people company, they won't devote human resources for this nor would they implicitly accept responsibility for the content of search results by actively taking things down. This isn't how the internet works. Search engines search stuff, name servers host domains, etc... everyone has their role. Keep in mind, they won't give up and go home because google delisted something, they will just move on to a different domain. Google will not commit resources for vlc alone like that.

Another thing I forgot to mention earlier is VLC can literally take over the domain themselves after a court filing based on US cybersquatting law (.com is US jurisdiction).
I say this as someone who has been heavily using the command line for the last decade, even if you "know" how to use a CLI decently well, go read this if you haven't. From only a couple minutes of reading I found not one, but two new tidbits that I never even considered looking up. This information will completely change my daily levels of frustration when using a CLI. Very, very high ROI link.

I know what you're saying but a utility company can't just cut off power or water to a home, just for no specific reason at all.

Personally, I think a lot of these platforms, at this point, are utilities. Without them, a person can't really interact with the larger world.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but that is just how I feel about it.
>The US cannot simply lie about NATO's good intentions, because in Eastern Europe they are not.

NATO is a voluntary defense alliance, and countries from Eastern Europe want to join NATO due to the (don't even say it's only perceived, as history shows over and over again) risk of being invaded by Russia.

The US are not forcing countries to join NATO.

What do you think is not good about NATO's intentions from Eastern Europe's perspective, besides Russia not being able to invade their neighbors anymore?

If you stop Russia, you'll stop the war. They started it, they can also just put their tanks in reverse and get out.

I can't disagree with this article more and it's exactly why Twitter is ridiculously over engineered. I remember chatting with a Twitter DevOps guy and there's multiple internal Grafana clones instead of just using Grafana.
I agree with you.

The problems that computers are trying to solve are partly the expression problem.

Mistakes are common in doing any non-trivial work. On HN coding is a great example. We have code reviews and it is standard practice to have issues raised there. It’s less common for someone to find and issue at CR and send it to the CEO to call an all hands to have him point out your bug to the company. In fact it would seem absurd to even raise this as a hypothetical. That is more the equivalent of what we’re discussing here.

Would you thank your colleague for raising your bug to the CEO or posting a LinkedIn article about your bug before talking to you about it?

We have had this law in Norway for like 10 years. More women in the boards of the big companies, but it does not change anything. The women selected have the same background as the men they replace and think similar.

The biggest difference is that the people with most board positions are all women. Fewer women than men want to sit in these boards. Many women with 50+ board positions.

On the other hand, there is no justice when it comes to who get custody of children. Still 85% women, same as 30 years ago. Women get custody even if they are not fit to do the job.
There's one Belgium (IIRC) football team member in the world cup who, before going pro, worked as a mailman. His comment about that is that people don't realise how hard mailmen have to work. I suspect his life at the top of the most competetive sport is much easier.
Improving the design of subtopic pages
I don't understand the (American?) concept of "gratitude".

I think it's because it necessarily implies someone to be grateful to, most likely a divine being or an abstraction of it (such as the spirit of universe). I see the world as a chaotic place where most things are done through pure will of humans, and random events.

If somebody does something good to me, I'm grateful to them. My current employer recruited me while I was in college, I was severely depressed and anxious, had frequent panic attacks and a few blowups at work, and they tolerated it because they believed I was "promising". I'm also aware that my skills (demonstrated to professors at college) were also a factor in their decision, but I'm still grateful to them, as people, for choosing to give me a chance.

What I'm not grateful is the ordinary bullshit of being alive and healthy, being in a trade (programming) that earns quite a bit of money, having family, et cetera. Those things are pure chance, and yes, I got dealt good cards in some ways, but also bad cards in other ways. I don't see logic behind being "grateful" for the good things, while ignoring the bad.

If it's just a psychological trick to make us "happier" with our lives, then I despise it even more. There is a purpose in being unhappy - fixing things is hard when you're "grateful" for what you have and don't want to risk changing anything. And if your life is truly good, you don't need a ritual of pointing out good things to feel good about it.

Maybe I'm just overanalyzing it. But the concept of "gratitude" just feels fake to me.
The mitigating factor was surely the extremely detailed evidence provided which is what is always lacking in conspiracy theories. The latter hide in the gaps in evidence and insinuation. The Hancock ‘documentary’ is basically an Atlantian of the gaps.
I had it the same way. I even built my own playback statistics service since Last.fm/Audioscrobbler were too limited to my taste.

Then I just lost interest in updating my music library. Didn't want to pirate any more, I did buy a new CD every now and then but couldn't be bothered to do the EAC ripping + tagging even for them. So I kept listening to the old collection without hearing much new music. And then I switched to Spotify to get the new music conveniently.
