Common, this argument is like saying that I don't want you to be able to have Christmas lights on your house. Doing that would be sacrificing energy that the entire world needs for a benefit that only you and your neighbors get, and that non-Christian people might idealologically not care about.

Even if you are using DoT, the DNS provider will still know you're using Maps if it resolved the subdomain, and the DNS provider itself might well be the biggest privacy threat here.
Nice one, I'll try to counter this garbage GPT3 answer:

- I don't think the regex engine in Perl is implemented in Perl. It's probably implemented in C/C++, like grep. libpcre is in C anyway.

- Even if grep is/were more efficient, You might have consumed more time and energy thinking, typing and running "grep --only-matching --perl-regexp 'prefix \K\d+(?= suffix)'" than the suggested perl solution

- I might have consumed even more energy typing this reply. My computer is there, waiting for me typing, doing not much.
I think you're right. The question is: is that pool big enough? For Tesla and SpaceX, you had a _vision_ as well, so you could be ambivalent about Musk but still stoked on what the company was doing. I don't think Elon's laid out that vision for Twitter yet very effectively ... I don't think building another Careem/Grab/Rappi/LINE/whatever super-app is very compelling, which was one of the latest ideas.

In terms of addressing "you want to know what your system has got", OP argues Arch is good because Arch will only have what you install.

With NixOS, the whole system configuration is declared starting from a single configuration file.

So, NixOS is great for addressing "I forgot how I set <whatever> up".

You'll likely end up using more disk space with NixOS if you're changing your system, since NixOS has functionality which makes it easy to rollback the system to earlier configurations.

Twitter engineers are extremely well paid in addition to being cashed out of their company stock options at an above market price - and then getting severance.

Do you mean that in the sense that some superrich person at a different company, or do you mean that in the sense that pretty much every superrich person who would run Twitter would act the same way?

The dreaded comingling of inventory is just the cherry on top. A curated list is there opposite of Amazon Marketplace. For years I wished that it was easier to just keep all the marketplace offerings hidden permanently since I want to buy from Amazon and not someone I've never heard of. At this point it's all such a blurred mess.
At least in the US, we’ve yet to see any of the social good promised to us by PoW schemes (or cryptocurrencies, more generally). Instead, we’ve seen a lot of diminished trust in civic and financial institutions, plus a lot of unnecessary carbon emissions.

Given the depth and breath of the costs, banning the use of fossil fuels in PoW schemes doesn’t seem particularly unreasonable. Especially given the broader social goal of reducing fossil fuel use wherever possible.
I used to like Best Buy but increasingly I am frustrated with their wide but shallow product line. They stock grills and washing machines and even stock one entry level mirrorless camera but no lenses or quality accessories. Out of 10 parts I need to build a PC they stock maybe 2. I think they kid themselves into thinking I will drive there just to buy the 2 parts and then buy the rest online with somebody else but it doesn’t work that way. I was happy to be able to spend a credit I had on a DVD of The World of Susie Wong because I can’t count on them having particular movies.

AMZN is killing them based on the strength of their product line but killing themselves because the product listings are flooded with bogus results that you just don’t get with reputable but failing retailers.

We often hear these days from science commentators if Physics should receive or not funding for the next big accelerator, High Energy Particle physics detector or gravitational wave interferometer. Most frequently brought argument is the lack of interesting findings during the last decades, and if that money would be better spent in other fields that have a higher return on investment given they are more prolific in their discoveries.

Guess what, it's very easy to find things when 1 in 20 of your papers can produce them by random chance (95% CI). When not outright participating in scientific fraud and p-hacking.

Perhaps the real lesson to learn from all of this is that we should defund every field that does not adhere to strict replicability controls. When funding follows findings you have set-up the perverse incentive to find something when there is nothing to get funding.

shorter version of the grep command is

but yeah, I know it's easier to me because I did read man page at some point (while carefully avoiding perl manuals)

actually even that is not true, perldoc on regular expressions really helps even grep users

Not only that, but the Twitter thread trying to paint programming for him for free as "fun" and an "opportunity" while actually not hiring seems unbelievably sleazy and cheap. I'm getting no-impostor-syndrome from it; the more I read, the less I doubt my skills and overall sanity.
Just curious if you have considered what level of adoption is needed to change your mind about its utility. If 50% of a country's transactions are through crypto is it now legitimate? If 1% of global transactions are through crypto is it now legitimate? If BTC reaches 100k+ a coin (or a million, idk pick a number) is it now legitimate? Or is it only legitimate once you specifically decide to sell off fiat? If you don't know when you would consider it successful, I am not interested in when you consider it a failure.
"Some people at Twitter were dead weight" does not logically lead to "therefore all Musk's firings at Twitter are A Good Thing, Actually."

Anyone going into nearly any company and firing 3/4 of the staff is practically guaranteed to result in some nontrivial number of people being fired who were not pulling their weight.

People aren't hating on Musk specifically for firing people. We're hating on him for firing people indiscriminately, treating the remainder like shit (demanding people work long hours constantly is unjustifiable, no matter what you think of the personalities of those workers), and making himself the center and focus of Twitter.
The vast majority of people who have so-called "good" health coverage in the US are paying one to three orders of magnitude more for it, compared to the price of private health insurance in countries with a public health system.

The best thing that could happen to people who currently have private health insurance and wish to keep it is that a public health system appears, forcing the private health insurance oligopoly to actually be competitive.

You’re assuming that the product you ordered is at that warehouse. It probably isn’t. They can’t store all products at all locations. Even if that distribution center ends up being the shipment origination site, the product still probably had to move within the Amazon network. Some of those things will move within the Amazon network, some with external (trackable) carriers (UPS/FedEx). And some things has restrictions on the method of transport. If there is a lithium battery anywhere in the device, it travels by ground.

Also — if you’re in the US, today is a holiday and nothing will move. So today and yesterday had/has limited movement between distribution centers. And as we get closer to Christmas, the entire network will start to approach saturation.

There are many reasons why things don’t always ship as fast as you’d like them to.
Because we made the algorithms and can confirm these theories apply to them.

We can speculate they apply to certain models of slices of human behaviour based on our vague understanding of how we work, but not nearly to the same degree.
It'd probably help also if they could find a killer-app role.

Currently it's a decent OS only for low-level devices like routers and firewalls, which are a fairly small part of the computing ecosystem (and even there, it has lost a lot of ground to OSes that exploit multithreading better, hence giving faster throughput).

As an application-development platform there are roadblocks at every turn and no real use-case. The community is even hostile to not-C developers. It's a shame, because the simplicity and security are great.
Cannot say enough bad things about OnTrac. They routinely throw packages at the end of our driveway instead of leaving at the porch like everyone else does.

The end of the (long) driveway is treed so sometimes we are literally hunting in the woods for our package after an OnTrac delivery.

I'm reminded of these error messages from an Apple C compiler:

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jasonh/personal/humor/compile.html

- "String literal too long (I let you have 512 characters, that's 3 more than ANSI said I should)"

- "...And the lord said, 'lo, there shall only be case or default labels inside a switch statement'"

- "You can't modify a constant, float upstream, win an argument with the IRS, or satisfy this compiler"

Some of them are more helpful than others, but they are all rather human.
They would join for the same reason you join any company - salary and experience.

I've never known companies to buy large software products written in a shell language, but on top of that haver rarely if ever come across ksh in a professional setting.

I can imagine this being the case in some industry niche, but don't think "most" is appropriate.

Your argument seems to be that energy use that doesn't benefit you is wrong. I would be surprised if the idea of telling purchasers of energy what they can do with it, or computers what calculations they are allowed to make, will find much purchase in the United States.

The gray area is the definition of "intolerant".

For example, reasonable people may view anyone who disagrees with same sex marriage as intolerant.

Those same reasonable people may also agree with your point above.

The result? Suppression of speech about a controversial political process, and the weakening of the democratic process.
Yes. I bought a ladle from Amazon. I noticed from some of the comments that a lot of people were getting a knock off ladle.

When I arrived, I checked to see if it was legitimate, and… it was not. It was a knock-off.

It was fine as a ladle. It ladled things. I never would’ve noticed or complained if I hadn’t seen the rules. No harm, no foul, right?

Absolutely not. That day I made a rule that I do not buy anything that goes on your skin, in your body, or health and safety kit from Amazon. If I can’t trust their ladles are authentic, I can’t trust their sunscreen or thermometers are authentic.

So, while the ladle didn’t harm me directly, it did pretty significant change my purchase habits.

Speaking primarily in the context of being up to your ears in debt, but because it creates a conflict of interest. Such a person is a lot more susceptible to bribes as a means to get out of their predicament, because they can't afford to tell someone waving a bag of money in front of them to piss off.

Debt is also something foreign intelligence looks for when attempting to recruit spies.

What’s the cost of sequestering each ton of CO2? $30? $90? Prohibitively high for some purposes? Well that seems like a relatively good place to start. Having a positive number adjustable based on large scale statistics does a hell of a lot more to fix market incentives than pricing it at a constant $0 and banning one specific thing (in a way which can’t even be enforced) as a political gimmick.
> It’s true that we can’t really know whether Google is exploiting these expanded permissions to collect more data unless we have some insider information.

You could track usage and see what pages on google.com are accessing these APIs.

I doubt that it's a lot. Google already has fairly good geo-localization based on IP, GPS-level accuracy isn't necessary for ads. They could've already connected your data from maps.google.com to www.google.com, because both are using consent.google.com and you're getting a .google.com unique cookie.

This is mostly just outrage because people don't understand how things work.
> Most proprietary software companies like to buy

What does this refer to?
Funny, since I am a Swede.

We got 21 votes in a 705 member parliament, but this article is about the European Commission and not the European Parliament. The commission is appointed from each member state, but those appointed are bound by their oath of office to represent the general interest of the EU as a whole rather than their home state. It operate as the cabinet government of the European union rather than elected representatives of each country.

Thus the relation to Europeans votes are a bit more disconnected with the commission compared to the parliament. It also the commission that draws most criticism. The biggest being transparency as as the commission is not held to the same democratic rules as parliament. A EU regulation by its nature must be transparent, while the operation of the commission often is not.

Wikipedia has a sub article on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_legitimacy_of_the_E...

WP quote: "One assertion of democratic illegitimacy focuses on the role of the European Commission as a non elected institution being the only entity (with some few exceptions) initiating legislation."
Should a compiler also suggest applying the fix?

I'm working on my own toy language and wondering if simple, obvious errors (like the `map` -> `nap` typo from the article) should come with an "Apply fix? [y/N]" option when run interactively.
"Six letter Chinese sellers" does not automatically mean cheap shitty defective rejects. If anything, that's just stereotyping and xenophobia.

For every one of you, I'm sure there's a dozen who have had no issues with the product. And I'm sure there's been plenty of people who have had the same issue with a name brand product that was made in the same factory by the same process and people.
I see options to filter by brand including a separate “out brands” option, but that isn't the same unless I'm looking for a specific brand rather than “just not cheap & grotty drop-shipped crap thankyouverymuch”.

The usefulness of the brand filter seems to vary greatly by product. For instance when searching for SATA SSDs it only offers “Seagate, Crucial, Western Digital, Samsung”.
Yeah, IMHO it makes no sense that they get cheaper power than residential users (well, it does make financial sense for the electric businesses to attract big customers using low prices, but that's not my point) : the cheapest power should be for the poorest citizens (but with limits to maximum power and lack of guarantees for continuous power supply), while the most expensive power should be for the businesses requiring lots of uninterrupted power ! (Note that cryptominers should be able to deal very well with programmed power cuts...)
Too many errors on one line, make fewer.
Admittedly, reality might be different (I won't know until I actually have this feature), but in my mind this is a good thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I would still receive emails from my contacts and I can add new people to contact list if I meet them through other channels first. This would only apply to strangers.

I didn't quite get your last sentence though. Who would be on the hook and why? A 1 dollar donation to a reputable charity wouldn't be a shady transaction.
Interesting - others have commented that the notorious security issues seem to have been addressed in modern PHP versions, you seem to disagree?
They hope to find it worthwhile, but are mostly disappointed when their money chasing doesn't pan out. Participation in PoW Blockchain stuff is worthwhile for the black market dealers/buyers, hackers, market manipulators, frauds, miners, and a minority of the speculators with good timing, but the overall utility is awful.
Tell HN: Happy Thanksgiving
I’m really thankful for this anazing platform and the knowledge i have gained through HN.
Almost. Proof-of-work is an anti-spam mechanism (originally invented for email, as Hashcash). Bitcoin needs this, since it treats the longest chain as "correct".

For example, if we used a public-writable git repo to track our cryptocurrency transactions, it would have the Merkle structure required for append-only/immutable-history. However, we could get lots of diverging branches; e.g.

+--- Commit sending all my money to Alice
|
Parent commit --+
|
+--- Commit sending all my money to Bob

Who gets my money? The consensus mechanism used by Bitcoin will choose the branch with the longest history. In the above case they're equal, so we wait until some more commits appear. If more commits appear on the Alice branch, then that's chosen as the "correct" one. However, Bob can later spam a bunch of commits on top of the other branch (e.g. just sending one coin back-and-forth), until that branch becomes the longest. The consensus will then change, to consider that branch as the "correct" one, and Alice loses all the money (as does anyone she previously sent it to!).

Proof-of-work makes this spamming much harder. All miners will be trying to add blocks to the longest branch they're aware of (picking arbitrarily, in case there are multiple), since it's unlikely any shorter chain will be able to overtake it (this is a largely self-fulfilling prediction!).
