Pretty sure I’ve been experiencing this change for many years at this point.
A few years ago I would amuse myself by queuing this song up whenever I was at a bar that had a Touch Tunes jukebox. Inevitably nobody would notice or care. Nice song, though.
After starting up at Amazon ( biased opinion), it really is impressive to see the relentless customer focus. Even at the cost of short term profit or wall street gains, they have historical proof of putting the customer first.

Lots of Amazon ads? Sure. But they're generally useful, and the teams building the "not as profitable e-commerce" will be making something people love.
Pretty sure I’ve seen a version of this cable that had a solid tab that bent in the middle. I have no idea what the brand/name is, and just spent way too long looking for it. It wasn’t metal, but sounds like a plastic version of what you’re talking about. I remember really liking them.

Edit: I think this is it. https://linkup.one/linkup-snagless-rj45-cat6-stp-connectors-...
Pelican case with the hardware. Your carry on or backpack with the data.

Think about journalists and photographers, they do that every day (my uncle was a cameramen). Ask to them.

Call to the embassy or the airport security, they are not always a bunch of jerks.

Be honest at customs, depend on the country they could want to access the data (even when they just see the desktop or just some pictures).

Don't check anything that you are not ok loosing it..

I travelled with some cameras, notebooks, tablets, hard drives using that (pelican with some padlocks, 2 different brands and systems on each lock.., I really hate airports, they stole my Adventure Time tag) and an Oggio renegade backpack.
This was exactly my thought too, that C is pretty much the DSL for (many) OSes.
"I guess I would not automatically equate "keeping head up high" = running your own business."

Oh, for sure not. Depending on your customers and your money flow, it can also mean keeping your head very low to not loose the last contracts. And there are probably some companies, where you can keep your head high or are even encouraged to do so and no sociopath from management bites your head off for it, but values your opinion.
Probably emotions. An endless torrent of the stuff. Like your favorite song, minus the words and notes.

Which is then interpreted as sights, sounds, smells, thoughts (we love those), feelings, time, space, things, pizza, money, etc.
Ghanna is getting crushed by their debtload right now. A different currency wouldn’t really make a difference. They also announced this morning that they will be asking their debtors to accept a mandatory 30% reduction in value of foreign bonds.
I believe the main point is the assets (about which I agree with you).

The PE selloff playbook works when the investor is ruthless enough to both (a) load the company with debt and (b) sell off assets that were previously (they believe) not fully valued into the company's share price, like buildings owned by stores.

While Twitter now has significant new debt, it's a small proportion of the purchase price, so there are still tens of billions of dollars that need to be recouped. And Twitter's ONE major asset is its goodwill/entrenchment ... which I'm sure is worth a lot, but which was already priced in to the share price.
Yeah, I hear you.

We accept Maxwell's equations as the truth, not Weber. I'm not saying this alternate approach is true, it's just my opinion we missed something, collectively.

The paper is likely poorly written, but it's something I found while researching this a few years ago. Just sharing it for others to see. Again, my comment isn't claiming one way or the other...

Because it's a lot of money and I suggest he's not able to conjure up billions - after taxes especially - quite so easily.

Though as you suggest it is a problem not just an opportunity and his hand might be forced.

Financing operations aside, it does not look good for him, and the dynamics that made Musk into what he is ... well ... none of that exists at Twitter really. Other than very direct leverage he has. I feel this will be a bridge too far, he's Putin invading Ukraine and most likely outcome is some kind of 'net netural' that he will spin as a victory. But who knows? Probably not even him at this point.

If you don't want to trade in dollars, it's likely because you want to trade with states that have hard time handling dollars, that is, have bad relationships with the US and the West in general. They can as well be sanctioned, like Russia or Iran or Venezuela; by trading with them, you yourself may end up sanctioned. No wonder WTO won't work with you after that.

Usually a state in such a position is not very democratic or otherwise nice, but neither Venezuela, nor Iran, nor North Korea, let alone Russia, got invaded (for Russia, it's the other way around). Iraq was invaded, but Saddam's regime was the first to attack a US ally (the second invasion was poorly reasoned though).
I still wonder why editors don't understand line numbers on the CLI
<editor> file:5

The editor should try to find if 'file:5' exist and open it if so, if it doesn't it should try to open 'foo' and then go to line 5.

Sounds sensible no?
But I don't know any editor which does this.
Oh, I read about those but I saw absolutely no change in my daily use, other the tweets commenting, of course. The app worked fine. I am at most a casual user though.
I seem to have an unpopular opinion about humanized compiler error messages. It's better than cryptic messages for sure but I think it's worse than robotic but concisely clear error messages. For example, for a type error, don't write mini book for me, just tell me "line: 56 column: 97, s/int/string/". Same for complicated error, don't try to be human it's even more confusing.
The comment I was looking for, as a European. Thank you!
Ah, you're right. It looks like the issue I'm complaining about only happens for "line" features - e.g. a river, or a road (https://www.google.com/search?q=route+66).
That’s an overly reductive, thought ending, semantic position that sticks to status quo; I have been getting that a lot from the work bee office crowd. I freelance so maybe I am capable of a different perspective? It’s relative.

It would also eliminate who knows how many lines of code in the form of parsers/lexers for dozens of random static formats, and embedded HTTP clients that reach out to APIs being copy-pasted all over to handle ops.

It would bin a whole lot of cognitive gibberish that comes with Docker and k8s, and move SRE/ops thinking to leveraging the same language ecosystems as app developers, normalizing jargon.

But yeah let’s stick with your simple reduction. Apathy and lethargy are the zeitgeist of the day. The “disrupt!” industry has become a “wait not me though!” jobs program.

Effectively a government jobs program as the rate hikes forcing layoffs show. As soon as the Fed shut off the money printer, big techs house of cards started wobbling. Truly innovative measure like layoffs, a form of politically correct economic insecurity[1], not novel new ideas, was big techs reaction to government policy shift.

Happy Thanksgiving to dang and to the HN community
In the morning, Slack was filled with people showing off their morning run, coffee on a table, you name it. Nothing about what needed to be accomplished. I mentioned it in a stand-up, and was told to spend time reflecting on my position in the company. Certain people were allowed to code outside of the 'standard', and if you spoke about it, it turned into an intervention.

I don't have problems with RJ45 tabs breaking off. I do have two problems with the connectors:

1. Sometimes the connectors don't latch properly in the port and fall right out. I try to bend the tab out further to help it latch but it never stays.

2. Some patch cables have rubber over moulding that covers the latch that's so stiff that I have trouble getting it to release. Who even wants the latches to be covered? One of my cables has a thin rubber tab over the clip that stops it from snagging on things, I guess, but doesn't inhibit unlatching. But it seems that the most popular over moulding is the terrible one.
Just because Chuck Norris can walk naked through a war zone and can come out alive doesn't mean doing so is safe.

Trump was the first warning sign IMO, and some are still not taking it seriously, blaming the voters themselves for being so dissatisfied with the status quo that they would take a chance on someone like that.
>" I hate shopping so I'll be damned if I will spend 1 more second thinking about the process than I have to. Amazon always has the thing, ships it in 2 days, I can be relatively sure I'm not getting ripped off by more than +/- 25% and that's good enough for me."

My experience before I got rid of Amazon years ago started out similar but then I found that the process of shopping took longer and longer - trying to compare 50+ versions of the same thing, filtering out dubious looking sellers and brands etc. I actually started to feel like the experience was worse than just going to a store and carrying the the thing home. I also started to think the prices weren't really all that great because they became the same or or often slightly more expensive that what I could find in a brick and mortar store. Couple this with a general decline in Amazon's last mile delivery which seemed to be a whole other shit show where the contracting parcel service would mark them as delivered even though they hadn't actually been deliver yet and it just became a really miserable experience. Should you need to contact customer service and speak to someone you can pretty much dispense with another half hour of your time.

>"But for the vast majority of folks consistency is king."

For me there was very little consistency in the Amazon experience. It was hit and miss. From reading this article though it sounds like the thing that is consistent is an increasingly worse experience.

That doesn't really make a lot of sense. Customers sent him dollars to buy crypto. So any dollars that came in were almost immediately turned into crypto. The only way for those crypto assets to be missing is if the crypto was transferred.

We don't agree on what "ethical" means here, so I don't see a lot of room for discussion until that happens. Why do you care if people waste computing time programming their hardware to study art and create new art based on what it learns? Who is being harmed? More art in the world is a good thing.
Not really? It's not free, it costs 1 to do 3 or 1 rotation, and it costs 2 to do 2 rotations. There is still a challenge because it's still the combination of multiple tiles that makes the full image, you don't necessarily gain information from doing 1 vs 3 rotations if the neighboring pieces aren't already correct
Yeah. I see SBF coming up with some sort of self-exculpatory bullshit to a fairly hostile line of questioning; something unlikely to hurt anyone other than maybe SBF

I don't see him excusing himself by explaining that regulators aren't real, they're just actors playing a role in an evil New World Order conspiracy to take people's guns away, and if he does, I don't see the NYT Dealbook summit attendees being the sort of people that turn up on their doorsteps as a result. And FTX is far too dead for him to harm people's wallets any further by persuading them to park their money in it.
If you want to really understand why it is that way, you have to dig deeper, and you'll find they are much more deep-rooted and has tentacles everywhere. It's simplistic to point to one job function and call it out as unfair as the system is set up so some key positions accrue value.

Given the lifespan of plastic products I don’t think it’s so bad that people let their printers sit unused for extended periods of time. If you don’t have a useful/desired object to print I would rather they not make a plastic object that will last hundreds of years and cannot be currently recycled except by doing it yourself. I would be concerned that achievement hunters would in fact be motivated by your idea and will be printing benchies or other useless objects they don’t actually want to keep the streak up. Maybe instead you could make a handy way for the users to list their print wishlist so they could keep it running with stuff they need/want instead of the ritual.

No. Why do you ask?

EDIT: As Wikipedia describes it as a stack-oriented language, because of my comment about putting everything onto the stack?
Can anyone provide an alternative source please? I've done a quick search and can't find any other sources reporting on this apart from 2x New Scientist links which are both pay-walled (as is the single Internet Archive submission) so my b.s detector is in the red on this one.

If in fact the BBC did do this (and that's a BIG if) that would be a huge story and a major breach of the BBC's editorial policies.

Donate $3 to the Presidential Election Fund every year on your US taxes. It costs you nothing, is a single checkbox, and redirects $3 of your taxes into the fund.

Candidates that take money from the fund have additional (mostly good) limits placed on their spending.

Thanks, that's possible.

But my real gripe is the lack of these keys in an onscreen keyboard that I could use in Safari.

Online, web-hosted VS Code (via GitHub dot-dev, in my case), and Jupyter notebooks via CoLab or local hosted -- they are nice to have, but the editor library in Jupyter seems to map each word of code in its own text field. You can't use the usual iOS/iPadOS touch editing features, it's impossible to select a line of code... And on and on.

It doesn't sound like it would be such a big deal but it's a show-stopper. "Type F1 for the Command Palette" -- aaargh!
sh IS the DSL*, otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean by "for operating systems".

The question "What is the domain specific language for operating sysyems?" is meaningless and unanswerable, because "operating systems" does not define the D in DSL in any meaningful useful way.

* For instance, when you try to replace all the sh scripts in a distro with say python (as some distros have tried to do) you immediately discover several ways that python is far less convenient for executing external executables and feeding, collecting, piping, their inputs and outputs. Then for all of the arcane annoyances with bash/ksh syntax, it's basic shell / batch / glue functionality is more important than all of it's "not like a better designed general purpose language" annoyances. In other words, exactly, it's not a general purpose language, it's a domain-specific language.
I looked into this. They used to do business as Geniome Bank, and their job ads are for "crypto and marijuana". Almost no publicity, though they sponsored a few marijuana events.

Chalopin usually shies away from press, so his personal involvement is odd. His son is also the chief digital officer of the company.

Another curiosity is the old Farmington team is still there, including the presdient, and they still appear to be making agricultural loans, same as they've done for ~150 years.

The Geniome/Moonstone operations appear to be based out of Seattle. Another curiosity not mentioned in this article is that Noah Perlman, COO of Gemini, is on the board of directors along with Chalopin.

"Geniome" is the trademark of a UK based company also owned by Deltec/Chalopin: IFSG. So, Chalopin has an unusal degree of personal involvement here.

Deltec previously invested in a small bank for money laundering purposes, so that could have been what they were going after here, but the amounts seem small. Could have been part of a larger plan which collapsed with FTX.

They're scrubbing employee Linkedin's now.
Maybe they think the subfolder approach will help their SEO.
This is true of basically every public figure.

I guess you're suggesting the NYT shouldn't let him speak, to protect us from ourselves? That's a startling position.
Pretty wild but I worked with the other executive here Ryan Salame at a different company before he worked at Alameda/FTX a few year ago. He was a fairly junior so it's sort of surreal to see that he became co-CEO and had enough liquid wealth to be donating $20m+ for political campaigns.
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry if I caused you any problems.
Domain specific. The entire OS is domain less, it's a host to run what is to be your domain. The OS has APIs to get anything done. And there are libraries to access those APIs from many languages, some that can be somewhat labeled a DSL supporting language. But until you have a domain, it's just the OS. The OS the non-domain or everything domain.
Your mileage does vary lol. WERS out of Boston played it once today and said it will be on again at 5 PM.
The strain relief is for machine made cables where they glue or melt the relief into the plastic plug. Almost all manual crimp connectors have a strain relief built into them that's meant to grab the jacket and hold the cable right at the entry to the plug.

All my RJ45 and RJ45-EZ connectors in my bag have this locking strain relief tab at the back.

There’s a rumor that was because Intel promised every year 10nm chips, which they ultimately postponed every year. MacBooks chassis were designed for the promised thermal advantages which have never been delivered.

Succinctly describes the global zeitgeist.

Perhaps modern idioms are to blame with relation to the copula. We seem to say things are what they are without a qualifier on what type of existence it has.
Manning also have a book on Lucene, the library that powers Solr and ElasticSearch. IIRC the book covered how Lucene actually works under-the-good and would therefore act as a good reference on the subject in general.

Have you? There were plenty of people predicting Moore’s law would end in x years (e.g. https://www.technologyreview.com/2000/05/01/236362/the-end-o..., from 2000), and some people (including Moore himself) argued that progression had slowed a bit, but I don’t remember anybody saying the law already had ended at any time.

(Unless you use an extremely strict definition of it, of course. I don’t think that’s reasonable, though, given, reading https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220166914_The_Lives..., that even Moore changed the definition a few times)

Hmm.. does not look good for the non-Docker setup. The developer replied with "I am deliberately avoiding offering a non-Docker install path" and closed the issue:

Yes. All algorithmic music I've heard (with few exceptions) feels aimless and meandering because their is no intention. It's not trying to say anything. It lacks purpose and a sense of how it fits into the greater composition. It's more like it's stringing together melodies that, while passable, don't have a feeling or target to aim for short of "stay in scale".

Melodies that I hear from programs rarely have coherency from one measure to the next, and definitely not from one section to the next. Let alone coherency with it's supporting or complimentary elements.
Thanks for your reply.

> Why should comments not be immediately visible? People can already write mails to authors. That's not what builds momentum. The interesting part is the interaction of the audience.

I agree, but I was thinking of some filtering function wherein the webmaster can whitelist/blacklist comments. If a certain site or topic attracts - for whatever reason - visitors who abuse the comments, the webmaster needs to be able to block stuff afterwards or even upfront. An ideal life would be wherein every visitor/commenter does only nice things.

> Hardly anybody writes comments on old posts.

Interesting idea. I always like it when I get responses on my videos/comments on Youtube from years ago.
I guess. Lord knows I'm not happy with what's happening at Twitter either. But... Tesla is a mature manufacturer with 100k employees now, and they all feel they're doing good work and making great products.

And they're right, frankly. One of the things you'll discover if you start looking seriously at your EV purchase is that the other manufacturers just aren't measuring up, both in specifics (performance, range, seat count, cargo capacity, etc...) and in qualitative stuff (fart noises, navigation experience, watch it drive itself, frankly just supercharging alone would be a decisionmaker vs. the CCS network in North America).
A lot of tech people really hate pricing that is based on value delivered rather than cost of ingredients, but I like it. It is inefficient to make multiple SKUs just to leave out features.

This model is more economically efficient, and ultimately better for both Intel and buyers. If you can get over the “different price for the same transistors” thing.

But as a buyer, would you rather 1) pay more for features you don’t need, 2) pay more for the cost of Intel making a different SKU just to remove those features, or 3) pay less and just have features you don’t need turned off in software?
