> Date Masamune’s helmet is famous in Japan as its crescent moon-shaped central ornament (the “maedate”) distinguish it from other samurais’ hard hats. Strangely, this device is not included in the Darth Vader design while it is one of the elements that have forged the legend of this warlord from Tohoku.

Strangely? You are the one who brought this whole subject up…
Huh, interesting. I always assumed the helmet was based on the german WW2 helmets seeing how so much of the weaponry is taken from there. Compare for example the Stormtrooper heavy blaster with the German MG-34. And even the name "Stormtrooper" compared to "Sturmabteilung" (Storm detachment) based on the earlier "Sturmtruppen" (literally Storm trooper).
> sorry but the extension isn't compatible with the extensions you're already using

In nearly 10 years of professional Haskell I've never come across a practical situation where extensions that were mutually incompatible. Can you name any extensions that are incompatible in a way that actually matters in practice?
This is sort of like if you learned English from reading a book and the author said they owned all your English sentences after that.

Of course you can see the original images (https://rom1504.github.io/clip-retrieval/), it was legal to collect them (they used robots.txt for consent just like Google Image Search) and it was legal to do this with them (but not using US legal principles since it's made in Germany).

"Crediting the artist" isn't a legal principle - it's more like some kind of social media standard which is enforced by random amateur artists yelling at you if you don't do it. It's both impossible (there are no original artists for a given output) and wouldn't do anything to help the main social issue (future artists having their jobs taken by AIs).

> Rust would stop Heartbleed for example, and that was one of huge vulnerabilities

using a low budget project with few developers maintaining one of the most used libraries in the whole World as an example of non memory safe languages perils is not exactly honest.

Heartbleed could have been easily fixed if the companies profiting from using OpenSSL donated a few more eyes to look at the code.

Similarly to what happened to Log4j bug, which had an enormous impact, similar to the heartbleed one and affected a fully memory safe language.

Last time I checked Excel macros / VBA didnt work on Macs at all, so I wonder if they added them?

Can you confirm this change? It must have been in last few years.

Macs had Excel for a long time, but in the past it was a simplified, toy version of the program not suitable for real work.
While true that it’s ignored, America was a “cesspool of crime” many times in the past. It’s still much better than 1980s.
I'm just going to sound more callous and clarify that I didn't mean mass shootings just the kind of robberies shown in the article.

They are biased in the work that they choose to present. Curation is a way to introduce bias as well. Doubly so when you consider that they post the headline as a notification, and most people stop there.

I don't have specific examples, I'm just going off the several times in the past year where I've seen a news story covered in five different ways, then I see an incredibly slanted headline notification from apple news that is woefully inaccurate.

Also, Fox is just the other side of the same coin- left or right wing, when it matters, Fox is no different from CNN. It's all fake garbage. Just wait until you're belief systems or personal experiences don't exist within the mainstream collection of proffered views, and you'll see how fake all of it is.
Sure, prosumers like us can squeeze extra juice out of the DSLR. But our mothers cannot.

Me, I get on a bicycle and spend the day riding a local trail. What a beautiful world.
I just came back from Delhi, and thought similarly (just camera specifically rather than smartphone actually) there, that I'd have loved to have something like Google Glass, but more subtle looking, for discretely taking photos without standing out so much - I missed a lot because I just didn't feel comfortable framing the shot, looking like such a tourist (I was visiting family, didn't see anyone else like that) - but of course I did look at them, would've been great to just touch the side of my glasses or whatever to take the photo.

Day to day though, as a smartphone replacement... unless/until I need prescription lenses I don't think it's enough to make me want to start wearing glasses.

> Hoi Peter,

A nitpick, but my name is Orson Peters, Peters is my last name :)

> I assume that's one of the advantages of building upon powersort? The blocky nature of quadsort is both a blessing and a curse in that regard.

I don't know, I only use a binary search when splitting up merges, and almost no time is spent in this routine. I use this for the low-memory case, as well as to create more parallelism to use for instruction-level parallelism.

> As for instruction-level parallelism, I do think it's actually almost entirely memory-level parallelism. I could be wrong though.

I didn't do specific research into which effect it is, when I say ILP I also mean the memory effects of that.
FWIW, I tried ClojureDart a little while back, had a good time, but thought to myself, "I'll be back when they have a REPL working." At that time you guys were saying things in the Slack like, "We already have a working prototype behind closed doors, it just needs polish. We'll be ready to release it soon." It was very exciting.

That was... six months ago. :) So... I guess I'll keep waiting.
Not from the US. What is a concealed carry law exactly and what does that mean with respect to robberies? Thieves will be able to see whether the person they are trying to rob is armed before they approach them?

Is the situation different in other states that do have concealed carry laws?
Funny how you defend this company, you must work there and in denial, or a Zucker fan.

I don’t have time for all your arguments; will answer one of them:

Regarding timing for bankruptcy - META lost ~65% of its COVID-Driven valuation in one year. Mainly driven by investors not trusting Mark’s vision of the Metaverse.

Excluding COVID-driven boom, META has lost ~33% of its solid valuation based on its core product foundation in the past five years.

If we follow this trend, and nothing external happens as I previously explained on activist investors, or acquisitions, META could be filing for bankruptcy in as soon as 1 year or a as long as 5 years.
In winter: comfy slippers, maybe some warm socks if needed for warmth
Rest of the year, if I'm on my own: either nothing or maybe slippers
Rest of the year, with company: regular socks. I have roughly 10 identical pairs of socks, so that matching them is easy.
I think we need to ignore the employee who games the system when setting up this relationship though, and focus on the good kind of selfish, not the bad kind. You can't build a system with the latter and have a lower-level problem to solve in that scenario. My experience as an engineering managher is these individuals are the exception.
Agree. Fujifilm seems to be the only camera manufacturer really focused on firmware & UX design. They have almost Apple-like seamless usability and tend to keep updates rolling for 5 to 10 years.
Make sure you can actually get batteries for it...
Kanye West suspended from Twitter after posting swastika inside Star of David
Not directly related to the food products as your refer to them, but a couple of years ago there was the big Cradle-to-Cradle "Waste is Food" hype. Loved by many companies and governments. As a result in The Netherlands this whole paper bureaucracy appeared where through all kinds of tricks you can transform almost any waste back into 'building materials' that are good for the market again. In many cases waste processing became extra profitable. Companies get paid for waste removal at some industry, do the magic transformation tricks, and sell building material at premium price.

So waste = food = money literally without much processing, and effectively just waste = money. A process where waste conveniently disappears on paper only and is spread out over the lands without many people complaining. It is like waste processing of the 60's but way smarter.
>Marrick's comment makes even less sense using a definition of Linux that includes Android, since they lists three different options: iOS, Android and Linux.

They could just have not known this, it's not obvious if you've never tried to open a terminal on an Android phone.

But how is Android not recognisably Linux? You can natively run all the Linux stuff you'd like on Android.
Yeah I look at it this way:

- Angular introduces structure, people realize that Directives are awesome but dirty checking is bad.

- React re-focused frontend on components (to be fair Backbone/Marionette and some MVVM stuff was going this way already but whatever), people realize they really mostly just want big hierarchies of components and to minimize everything else. The Flux data flow pattern is alluring too but kind of unnecessary.

- Vue cloned react but improved on it by introducing the data object via automatic tracking and radically simpler APIs. I read up and was productive with Vue in like... 1 day of reading docs.

- Svelte builds on all of that, moves more magic into the compiler and introduces weird syntax but thoroughly consistent ergonomics and lower complexity.

- Everyone goes SSR

For people who want jobs, React is still king and probably will be for a very very long time. But you can pry SvelteKit from my cold dead hands.
I’m kinda confused by this and your other replies in this thread. You seem to be defending Vue, specifically Vue 2, in almost a drive by fashion. You don’t seem to be considering any of the points actually being made. No bystander is interested in hearing the drive by argument of someone without an open mind.
Dear UX designer – don't work alone
Dunno, maybe? I personally am reasonably happy with my new ryzen-based thinkpad. If nothing else, the macbook has so little ports and everything needs an adapter.
The part where ChatGPT is trying to explain even and odd numbers[0], makes a mistake near the middle and then doubles down on that mistake sounds terribly familiar. A lot of my failed math exam answers in college went along similar routes.

The British Automobile Association (AA) used to have a network of operatives on bikes (cycle scouts) who would salute members displaying the AA badge if they were approaching a police speed check.

This warning activity was tested in court and found to be illegal, as interference with the police undertaking their duties. Their response to the judgement was to switch the warning method to NOT saluting members if they're approaching a speed trap because apparently they couldn't be found culpable for inaction. So they would only salute members if the coast was clear. A bit like a warrant canary.
I think statistics bear that out.

Does it seem though that specific locales are disproportionately slipping back into crime "cesspools"? Could it be something like the "broken window" theory of crime or might it be areas of heightened homelessness where this is a problem?

I have no idea.
Not very surprising. The Vader-Obi Wan light saber fight in the Episode IV is also very closely modeled after Kendo [1].

OK, well that's how I read it: a jokey article (i.e. fun) that looks like satire (something that bites), but without any actual satirical bite or point. But perhaps I'm wasn't sharp enough to get the satirical point. And I didn't see it explained in the comments.

If it's just ragging on PHP's deficiencies, (a) that's old-hat, and (b) most of what the author teases about isn't actually a problem with the language.

FWIW I don't think you sound callous at all. To clarify my response, the data I shared on mass shootings ("mass" being >3 people) is just meant to illustrate that the "good guy with a gun" scenario is very rare.

As another data point, a Harvard University analysis of a National Crime Victimization Survey concludes that people defended themselves with a gun in almost 0.9% of crimes from 2007–2011: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00917...

What's wrong with my age?

I've done 6 years of professional photography to pay for college. Portrait shoots, weddings, even produced videos, ads, festivals, wildlife documentaries. I worked on Nikon D4S fullframes. How is my age relevant ?

My point is, professionals squeeze extra juice of the hardware, but the average consumer does not.

"The best camera is the one you have with you" and the usual trope.

I struggle to remember the last time I felt a need to take my mirrorless camera with me and I think it'd be a bit weird to take it with me on my daily commutes or when I'm meeting a friend for coffee or whatever.

This looks great, and I remember seeing Jalup a few years ago. I'm alright at the language now (N1 a year ago, 50+ books read, etc) and so deep into Anki at this point that I doubt I'll ever transition away, but I could see recommending this to someone who wants an easier solution.
I migrated from vue 2 about 4 months ago seeking better typescript support and looking to move away from webpack. While I absolutely loved the simplicity and feel of svelte, I came to the same conclusion that it is not ready for a major production application yet. In a few years, I'm hoping vue setup scripts are as low friction as svelte or it may be time to switch over (they're close now, if you're using the latest macros, which may or may not be in beta still).

The author doesn't end their advice with these oversimplified abstractions; it's the entry point into a deeper, more nuanced discussion. That's why the article is more than a a 3-word title.

(Good) advice doesn't deal with all of life's subtelties; that's an impossible prescription with no resiliency. It sets you up to figure it out yourself.
Discord's New “Free” Badge
Apparently Discord is back with another badge, this one being for developers with applications that have been used "recently". But, anyone can get it whether they're a developer or not.

The badge should be slightly higher to get - or just not exist at all.

Ask HN: How do you manage your calendars?
I'm trying to find a simple open source way to keep all my calendars from different sources like work, university, organizations, and private synced together

On the phone I'm using "simple calendar" and on the computer I'm using "Kalendar", each subscribing to different organization calendars separately, making it a mess. Adding new private events to each obviously won't show on the other

Is there something small and simple I could host on my home server or something that subscribes to each of the external calendars, backs up the events, and generates a subscription link I could use on my client apps on the phone and computers?

One alternative would be to use google calendar and their subscribe to calendar feature but I'd very much rather not, that would be a last resort

How have you all solved the management of your calendars?

I never like Vue2 extra verbose code, when I meet Svelte, I think: "This is it, just want I need" then realized Vue3 is an intended effort of Evan You (creator of Vue) to look like Svelte, I start to use Vue3 because all frameworks and libraries that exists in Vue, actually using Quasar ( excellent and full framework to use Vue2 and Vue3 )

I don't know if Svelte will ever get the same punch of Vue Libraries and frameworks that exists now.

Let see what happens.

Meanwhile I stayed with Vue3

It's just the author's dry, tongue-in-cheek British humour. He's not really attacking anything – just a bit of fun using English instead of American English.
For shop robberies, it's at least culturally normal/unsurprising enough that it's common in TV & film for the shopkeeper to pull a shotgun or something from under the counter. (Also not from the US.)

I think it's a really interesting question though - if the point of allowing firearm ownership is self-defence etc., then surely should be looking at the usage metrics for that - when people own them, do they actually use them in such circumstances, is it effective, do non-owners have worse outcomes, etc.
