Why do most people what they do? Because their are conditioned/brainwashed by school and society to believe in specific morals for their behavior.

Seems like a speed run of the gilded age to me with the inevitable war theater in Europe and potentially Asia as the back drop for the World Wars that took placce in the 20th Century seems more apt; Amazon is the worst of the FAANGS, and that is saying a lot. It operates under the notion of such an extreme as a 'core value' that it becomes entirely counter-productive, but since the glut of it's customer base doesn't seem to detract from the abuse labour experiences in the process it continues.

To me the closest analog to Amazon were the oil and steel barons of the time that used and abused it's work force, and exploited children etc...

There is a massive Global protest scheduled for this Black Friday [0], so the least I could do was refrain from using it since I can be out there demo'ing at this phase of my Life anymore. Amazon is one of the few corps that I feel should be not just unionized but also broken up by the State, which is really saying something since I think that is the closest thing to an economic nuclear option there is, but we're way past that point now.

In a world without free will "care and education" don't matter. People are gonna do what they are gonna do, and education or care aren't gonna change it. No free will means determinism, not just in choice of action, but in everything else too.

I wish Git had more support for "linear" revisions in the main branches. It's great for continuous delivery where you can get a unique identifier that's also human-friendly.

I emulate this by counting the number of merges on main:

But it's not that traceable (hard to go from a rev back to a commit).
I think what upsets a lot of the Silicon Valley types here on HN is that people just like them are being called on their bullshit and fired en-masse for it. That has got to be uncomfortable.

BSP's were first used in Quake, not Doom. Doom was not 3D, just 2.5D. Full BSP's as used in common VR's applications those times were not needed then.

The Doom precomputed z-buffer hack is described in this article, but I wouldn't call it genius. The Quake BSP was much better, but neither genius as a lot of people used it before to their advantage. It was a common technique, just not in games. Even we used it in our VR application years before Quake.

Memorial Service for Dr. Fred Brooks
I thought the comparison between the two cases was a bit odd. Sarao was able to assist the FBI significantly, which often results in a more lenient sentence. The total amount of money he earned illegitimately was a few million at most, not $1 billion, and regardless market manipulation is quite a different crime. How his Autism was handled wasn't nearly as big a factor as all the other differences.
The neurodiversity movement is rightfully credited with creating a world that's more tolerant of and accommodating to autistic traits.

But what's been lost in that discourse are the victims of autistic people's unintentional cruelty. Autistic people can be punitive, capricious, and neglectful toward their children (who did not enter into the relationship voluntarily), friends, and partners.

When these autistic people are confronted and asked to improve or make amends, the response is increasingly a demand that the victims adjust themselves to the autistic way and forget their own injuries, on the grounds that they were inflicted unintentionally.

I do see both sides here, but the fact remains that injuries cannot simply be waved away because they were inflicted unintentionally, by people whose psychology makes them prone to unintentionally hurt others.

In particular, respecting the ANSI colour codes makes pretty much every programme work great out of the box. I respect that Solarized tried to pack the entire colour scheme into the ANSI colour codes, but the occasional breakages are less than ideal.

In the hypercore protocol participants control only their own data. So, no write conflicts. But they need to verify parts of data of other participants. The blockchain (specifically, the Merkle tree) helps with that. An alternative solution would be to just sign the pairs `(recordCounter, recordData)` instead of putting records in a tree and signing the root node. But the hash tree also helps to verify integrity, in addition to authenticity.

That's kind of interesting, I never got to use DVDs because the quality jump from VHS to "kazaa" was sufficient.. and then came HD movies and the DVD rips looked pretty bad..
For physical media, I could see the point in blu-ray, but, I don't see any practical point in it.. So I only have LD, which is slightly worse than DVD in some aspects, and slightly better in others (bit lower resolution, but never any compression artifacts), but that's more for the fun and cozy ritual of spinning up the giant disks and watching them on the big flickery CRT :)

hm, im a little unhappy about the author comparing Knuth's solution to a handfull of shell utilities.

for one, the author says knuths program written in WEB was 10 pages long, discounting the fact that these 10 pages are HEAVILY annotated.

my other point is:

tr has 1917 LOC,

sort has 4856,

uniq has 663

and sed is in its own package at around 10 MB

all including comments and docs for sed

it's fine and good that you can use composition with shell utilities, but come on, write that example program in C99 and you'll be a not very happy coder at all. in general i find the comparison rather rude. Knuth was supposed to show ?his? programming language WEB and as a "critique" McIlroy farts out a shellscript like "lmao first".

indeed, you do not often need to count word frequencies.

but what was this article supposed to be really about? software engineering 101 aka dont-reinvent-the-wheel/DRY?

or perhaps literate programming?
Sure, but people generally agree that some flavor profiles are better than others.
I don't think you really think that's what OP is saying.
Quite a few APIs use a pair of `{start, length}` instead, which in the context of the post's example, is even clearer. Empty interval would be `length == 0`, time interval would be a single array of `starts`, etc. Fewer subtractions (to get length) usually end up nicer too.
That is why I thought there should be sound but I missed the point it seems as others have commented something to do with modifying the visuals based on a function.
Certainly not better in their dependency on Python and JVM, or IDE integration across Qt Creator, KDevelop, Visual Studio, Android Studio, Clion, VSCode, C++ Builder.
mmmh... maybe it could be a good replacement of a hardware accelerated 32bits libGL which is still and currently required by the steam client (but it seems they are moving finally the last bits of 32bits code to libcef, but it is valve then don't be impatient). oh, yeah and I play games on elf/linux without that msft grade horrible proton (= wine with plentyfull of components copied straight from doz, as far as I know... that said a lean wine build for core win64 and vkd3d for vulkan/dx12 support... mmmh... wonder which games could run with that).

I wrote my own, but I had to put in assembly code to make it fast enough (amd zen2) so I am pessimistic about tinyGL being fast enough for that, and it is really a quick and dirty thing with bugs to avoid to build that horrible libGL for 32bits ONLY for the steam client (all the games I play are native vulkan3D, but I still run x11 native so I don't know about their wayland support).
No, it's not. There is no set of guidelines that exists today that creates a memory safe subset of C++. If you claim to have one, and it have a way of verifying that a program satisfies those guidelines, I'll find you a program that has unsafe behavior.

I've been using PlantUML and Mermaid for my own diagrams.

Mermaid is quite basic; it lacks functionalities that for me were necessary; for example, direct connection between attributes of different classes.

All in all, PlantUML seems superior to Mermaid, at no cost (both languages are relatively simple to learn).

Mermaid is supported by Github, which may be a necessary requirement for some. On the other hand, among the many functionalities, PlantUML's JSON is unusually good looking out of the box, and if one required the diagram it outputs, it's a great feature, because it requires no syntax knowledge.

Both PlantUML and Mermaid mostly produce (Mermaid more) ugly-looking diagrams (dated, to say the least). In PlantUML, this problem is compounded by the explicit lack of layout, by design.

Other warts: both (PlantUML and Mermaid) languages have limited comment support - they are only supported in specific locations of the diagram declarations.

D2 could be a very welcome "next gen" diagramming language. However, the devil is in the details - text-to-diagram.com show a very basic functionality, so one must carefully check the requirements.

Regarding text-to-diagram.com:

- there's a mistake - PlantUML does support rich text (although "rich" is a fuzzy definition)

- class diagrams are an important use case, which is currently missing

EDIT: clarification about the comment limitations.
>The fact that care and education cause change in the behavior

If you don't have free will there's no change in behavior. You have the same predetermined behavior you'd have all along - the care is incidental, would have happened or not happened anyway.

No free will == deterministic universe. Everything that is to happen can't change, and is already "schedulled" in a causuality cascade from billions of years ago.

If you don't have free will, you can't also decide to have "care and education" or not. Whether you will have them or not have them is already a done deal.

Flat files and replication would probably get you unreasonably far.
except, that's probably not their claim.

their claim is that they are agents for their client states (which in none (or at least the vast majority) of the publicized cases) has been Israel. i.e. it was state sponsored espionage, where they were the state's agent (be it saudi, or any other state).

Personally, I don't see how this claim works, if a foreign govt pays someone to spy, that person still goes to jail if they get caught.

also as the justice dept came out against their claim, it would seem they dont really have much of anyone "in their pocket".

I’m struggling to understand how one can suggest delays should be tolerated in order to carry not-in-bag bikes and the burden of argument is on others to prove that JR should just allow delays.

This is such a weird hill to die on. As another commenter said, watching the boarding process would make it obvious that it’s not easy to allow bikes beyond the current method of letting them on in a bike bag as luggage (works fine by the way, I’ve personally done it).

I was just taking a train in Europe yesterday thinking about this comment thread. The train left a few minutes late from the starting station and each stop was 3-4 minutes. That simply doesn’t work with a headway of 5-10 minutes. The Shinkansen stops for like one minute, and on a busy train it takes a few more minutes to actually get everyone seated. If you have large luggage, the social norm is to stand with it between cars until everyone else boards, so you don’t block them. This works with a bike in a bag, but I can’t imagine a fully assembled bike being there.
