No one is saying that it's impossible to develop curl for Windows. Needing to either work around a non-standard libc, require the user install a standard compliant libc, or ship your own libc with custom methods like FreeX is strange and hard compared to other operating systems. Same with using something like WaitForMultipleObjects vs select and path separators.

If you're a Windows-first developer, you're probably used to these things, but to non-Windows developers, Windows is strange and annoying.

I tried to port one of our server applications to Windows. I eventually gave up because our service would remove files that were still open. To me, it's crazy that Windows doesn't allow you to do that. This also means you can't use a tool like SSH or SCP. If you accidentally kill the local SCP process while the file is transferring, you need to remotely connect to the destination and kill the remote SCP process to allow that file to be modified again.
Probably manual, given they have a specific list of supported buildings. But they're pretty simple so I can imagine it'd take an hour at most to build one them (in creative mode).
For me, as I try to step out of myself and look candidly at my own life experience, it goes something like this:

As a “smart” person in high school, that led to various “rewards” such as respect, adulation, advancement, affirmation, etc. These things feel good and so my naive self equates being smart with being happy.

When less naive self perseveres, he realizes that the connection between smart and those feel good rewards is more arbitrary than I’d like, and I have experiences more like my current situation where I’m the “smart guy that holds this product together and understands this domain best” but that has led to others being suspicious and trying to take control and to being sidelined.

So in the end, it just so turns out that smart can go with happy situations or unhappy situations. Our selection bias confirms the happy ones as causal and is offended/confused when it’s not.
As a former pilot with a late-in-life diagnosis of ADHD - I'd not want to be a commercial pilot. I'm legitimately concerned of a loss of concentration during landing. Looking back, I saw a few of those happen in my training and in my solo flights.

It's a risk v reward decision, one which I fell on the "nope" category. :)
note that I never claimed platform specific needs didn't exist, but that those needs are far easier to meet on Mac and BSD than on Windows.
>"Anecdotal. Seeing restaurants that no longer do sit down and only do delivery, plus the creation of the ghost kitchen market. I also have no data, so I can't really defend this point. Just an observation."

Can you say what city you are seeing restaurants that don't do sit down and only do delivery? Are these brand new restaurants? I can't imagine anyone that was already paying rent for a dining room turning people away. I also find it hard to imagine that a delivery only restaurant would be operating in a place that has good foot traffic as that is usually factored in to the rent since it means access to walk-in customers.

Lastly has the "ghost kitchen" market actually taken off? What brand recognition is there in that market?
These conversations are always so vague that one has to wonder if it's deliberate.

I'd love it if the discussion could get more concrete. For example, what's a specific case of international trade fraud that a blockchain could have prevented, and why is a blockchain needed to prevent it?
But what does that mean?

Why does it need to be decentralized? Why can’t one party have the same incentive structure?

Listen, I’m all for cryptography and Block-chains, but the whole proof-of thing has never made any sense to me.

Maybe to make myself more clear, there are levels of trust, and you 100% “trust” that the miners on your random blockchain will do work for you in exchange for money. We’ve seen examples on even big blockchains like Solana where that trust is broken, even.

So why exactly is that sort of trust better?
At least with Grubhub plus or whatever it's called, this isn't really true. They put "0 delivery fee" but then still include a "service fee" which is 15% of the order (this is not the tip). Can you confirm DoorDash does not do something similar?

Ask HN: Number of Microcontrollers in a Modern Computer?
Approximately how many microcontrollers/CPUs are in a modern computer beyond the primary CPUs? I keep thinking about this question but I can't seem to word my question in a way that Google will give an actual answer to.

I know that modern CPUs themselves often have integrated microcontrollers for things like the management engines and whatnot. In the thread about the M1 GPU it's noted that the GPU is controlled by a full ARM core. And then of course I'd assume there are a bunch on the motherboard and all of the I/O systems. Going back to even the Macintosh SE, its ADB implementation used a PIC microcontroller instead of a dedicated ASIC. I assume the number has exploded since then.
>who don't trust "government money" but would happily buy government regulated food, be treated by government regulated doctors and medicine etc

I think this take is either a bit disingenuous or possibly just misinformed. There are very few people who don't want 'government money' because it comes from government and government bad.

People want money that isn't associated with government because they believe, among other reasons, that having access to the levers and dials that fiat currency provides corrupts the government (as a system), the government (as in the people who govern), and the markets that they govern over. Time and time again governments have shown that they lack the ability to responsibly operate those levers and dials so a growing number of people are suggesting that maybe that shouldn't be something we put into a small cadre of human hands.

This is a little bit like if we had a government-regulated medical system and the government decided to make heart medicine very expensive because the rate of population growth was too high and we needed to slow down the biological market, only to panic 5 years later and make birth control cost 500 times as much and all other medicines free when the population growth got too low and then repeat that cycle forever, all the while turning a blind eye to a parasite class that profited from these cycles.
> One should not produce photographic art without

I'm very wary of any claims abut what artists "should" do.

There's good art, bad art, wise art, dumb art. Declaring that anyone who picks up a camera is implicitly agreeing to be bound by this kind of stricture.

Outsider art is a thing. Most of it is terrible, some of it breaks new ground. But I wouldn't say any of it is "doing art wrong" because they took the outsider approach.
Anyone that thinks that's a matter for police, let alone jail, needs to go outside more.
I don't know about you but checking apps that are a requirement for travel/important events is something I already do. If I am traveling somewhere for a convention you better believe I made sure that my airline's app, hotel's app, whatever ticketing app the event organizer is using were all updated, logged in to, and tested before leaving the house.

Any 1 of these having problems could be anywhere from annoying to catastrophic. Why take the chance?
Someone forgot to turn off the lights, probably.

Or maybe, maybe, they actually need some hands to migrate stuff onto some other solution.
I think something that can help this situation is to not use "big" machine learning words such as "patch embedding".

This is one of the issues with a lot of machine learning articles out there (not to nitpick on you, sorry); there are almost always easy and illustrative examples that you can use to break this down into a simpler explanation.
Before making a reply, please consider that I know that not all of these points apply to every person. I think most of them apply to most people with chronic obesity.

When I was a teenager, I wondered why smart people could ever be fat. It's so easy to see how to lose weight.

The answer is: Your body is very very good at maintaining energy balance. You are not bad at losing weight, your body is very good at holding on to energy stores.

Diet and exercise do not fix hunger. When you lose weight, your body tries really hard to get it back. Many interventions can show a short term improvement, long term improvement is very very hard.

Book suggestions:

Pontzer "Burn"

Guyenet "Hungry Brain"

Intervention suggestions:

Control your food environment - if it's within reach you'll eat it soon. If it's in your house, you'll eat it eventually.

Learn to enjoy the food you eat - savor the first few bites, eat slowly. You don't need to eat a lot to enjoy what you eat.

You don't have to empty your plate, or you can get a to-go box.

Protein and Fiber are good.

Sugar and salt taste very good and will make you eat more. Do not buy sugary or salty snacks, or limit the amount that you buy.

Sugar is a triple threat (at least): The calories are empty; Blood sugar crash drives hunger; sugar causes both medium and long term metabolic changes.

Hunger can be put into two big buckets: Energy Balance and Food Pleasure. Energy balance is the hunger you get when you haven't eaten for a while, or after exercise. Food Pleasure is the temptation of snacks, and the drive to continue eating tasty food after you are full. You will need to learn to address all of these.

If medically feasible, try fasting for a couple of days, to prove to yourself that you can survive hunger.

Exercise is very good for your body, but it won't do much for losing weight. It is technically possible to outrun your diet (for a week or two, for extremely healthy people), it is impossible to outrun your body's response to calorie deficit.

"Losing weight" is a terrible goal for most obese people. "Reducing body fat mass" is a much better goal. Those sound like exactly the same thing, but consider that a daily fluctuation of even 1% (up to 3% is realistic) will hide the realistic fat loss of 5 ounces. Adding muscle as you begin to exercise will also make the number on the scale bigger.

GLP-1 works, but it can be very unpleasant. It will not fix your food behaviors when you go off the meds, you need to learn to manage hunger and your food environment.

I'm down 40 pounds from my max, and I've maintained for about a year now. I wish you all success.
This disease is just absolutely devastating; I remember reading over the past couple years how the connection between protein buildup and alzheimers was being questioned more in the research. When a momentous breakthrough is a 25% delay in symptoms - you know things are bad.

> It is literally increasing supply of workers who have less negotiating power than the “mass of people”

It restricts the number of workers that are able to work in the U.S., and forces companies to jump through hoops to hire them. The idea was that companies would be forced to hire American workers whenever they were available, and only rely on foreign workers as a fallback. Obviously corporations were able to somewhat neuter the law so that it wasn't as much of an obstacle as it was sold as.

> less negotiating power

Protectionists were convinced that foreign workers would undercut them by working harder for less money in worse conditions; the idea of foreign workers actually helping improve working conditions would have sounded ridiculous (if not faintly sinister) to them.
Because life is not a technical problem but a socio-economic problem where we have little control and everything is uncertain.
Congratulations, you can observe and complain and be a bloodless intellect, someone with no skin in the game,

Once you're past wallowing in self pity because of the burdens of the great intellect you have been given, then it's time for you to develop some wisdom.

Wisdom is accepting the limits of your being and mortality AND THEN DOING YOUR BEST ANYWAY. Wisdom and intellect is acknowledging the fact that you cannot fix everything but using your gifts of intellect to generate multipliers (processes, automations, repeatable IP, free software, open papers, sharing knowledge).

** Use your intellect to magnify your intellect and maximise the amount of good you do. **

Intellect and courage is carrying forward the light, speaking up against injustice, patiently educating and inspiring the young and reducing tyranny.

The weak intellects have undeserved lazy entitlement (they think simply because they are smart everything should be given to them, not true) or wallow in self pity because taking action brings about the possibility they might fail which would demonstrate their inadequacy and therefore hurt their self identity. These people have a disease and should be helped overcome their limits

I think you go a bit far, but I agree somewhat.

I was picked on a fair bit in school. The nature of "zero-tolerance" meant that fights were quick. I recall one day just being shoved into a a door threshold unexpectedly. I had had it at that point from this person, so I took my heaviest book out of my bag and slammed him in the head with it as he was already walking away triumphantly. Looking back, he could have been seriously injured. Many people witnesses and laughed at him.

He never bothered me again.

But how can you know someone will leave you alone or just escalate things?
I think therapy provides benefits that friends don't/can't. Your therapist shouldn't be your friend. They're an objective outsider that can help give you new ways to think about your life.
If an adult attacks someone they can go to jail or at the minimum are arrested for assault. In school the consequences are much less serious
Highly recommend masters of doom. I’ve read through it a couple of times and find it motivational.

I grew up playing Wolf3D and quake games, and in general have admiration for what they were able to build. So I am not sure if people without that context will feel the same way about the book though :)
Yes, thank you for this.

Deconstruction is THE artistic skill. Sometimes the parts whose sum make up the whole are kind of ugly on their own. We shouldn't be afraid of this when it happens.

There will always be the more literal-minded people who can't handle this, and I guess that's ok. But catering to them becomes a tiring, never-ending descent into boringness. Hopefully the kids actually taking acid these days are also laughing at some of the bizarre, authoritarian/well-meaning takes I keep reading on the internet, and just aren't commenting. Because they're too busy doing butt stuff.
I've recently wondered if more strict food regulation would help. Maybe heavily tax sugars (a nuance-lacking example, of course). I mean, we effectively regulate tobacco and alcohol to some degree and limit consumption thus. I wonder if regulation that encourages strict whole food consumption is possible. Of course, even the thought excersise is probably wasteful because it will never happen. Too much money in cheesecake and chips
Interesting. If they passed them as real to the newspaper then yeah, that's problematic. What I don't know and can't tell from that is if that claim is part of the art. In other words I cannot verify that was actually published on the Times on Nov 10. Or if it was how much the times knew.
I'm not a fan of stalebot at all. Just leave the issues open, so it's easier for a user of the project to browse the open issues and determine if they need to file a new bug, or maybe there's some info about a fix, etc. Having to browse closed issues adds a lot of overhead.

If you release something and aren't planning on maintaining it or accepting contributions, and it's a somewhat popular project, at least update the README to inform others and encourage them to file an issue with a link to their active forks. Someone else might be enthusiastically maintaining it elsewhere.
Modders have done so; I believe the Minecraft map data structure, at least for the Java version (because it can be decompiled), is pretty well understood. The client/server protocol as used nowadays (?) was actually developed as an open source project at first, because the open source server software ended up being better than their own in-house one.
Update speeds are going to be too slow for meaningful animations. Also, the lifecycle of the display is measured in screen refreshes, so having to flash through the animation frames would shorten the life for sure.

I also eat butter, some eggs, chicken and pork, lamb, buffalo, etc. occasionally. Probably 90% beef. I try to eat more eggs just to keep the cost down.

I remember sitting down to my first meal on this diet, when I intended a month "cleanse". It was about a pound of hamburger patties fried in butter. I'd never been a big meat eater. (I still don't like steak.) Looking at those burgers I got depressed. Is this all I'm going to get to eat for the next month? I might have gone and added a bagle to it if I hadn't tossed them all.

Then I ate it, and it was good, and the sad went away. I don't think I'd had an all-meat meal before on purpose. After a few such meals my reservations about it went away, and at the end of the month I wasn't interested in stopping. And far from having to will-power myself to eat, I am enjoying food at least as much or more than ever. I generally eat ribs for breakfast (yeah, very expensive, especially in comparison to dying young of metabolic disesase). I very much look forward to that same breakfast, with no regrets or boredom.

This is not the typical carnivore story that I've heard. Jordan Peterson talks about how incredibily tedious this diet is. My brother and his daughter have had success with it, but find it hard to keep going long term. Whatever it is that makes it work so well for me is clearly not the same for everyone.

> Going by your actual meaning - are you saying you zipped a file on disk that was still being written to? That's... weird.

That's how Linux works. Some programs, like rsync, will give you a warning at the end, similar to "the file was modified during the rsync operation". Most others, like zip will give no warning at all.
I buy my beef by the cow and I get the whole thing for less than $4/pound, whether it be ribeye steaks or ground beef or roasts. That price is for the cow bought at auction, slaughtered, butchered, packaged, and frozen. Note that I don't spend money on any other food, since I only eat beef. You save massive amounts of time, since you only go shopping for food once or twice a year, you never deal with vegetables or chopping, pealing, etc, and your food never goes bad. Sometimes I'll go to Wegman's and buy fifty ribeye steaks and then just eat ribeye steaks for a while -- that can run me about $700 since I've been able to find them for $13/pound and they're about 1.1 pounds each. But the crazy thing is the health benefits you experience -- three dozen minor issues are cured.

Point-Free or Die: Tacit Programming in Haskell and Beyond (2016) [video]
Ok, thats a strong argument. But, Im not convinced.

For starters, if we assume humans have the ability to solve conflicts like the DMZ we should be able to put a structure in place to prohibit people from going to old mine fields. That is, fundamentally, the basis of nuclear waste storage: the belief that society can create a future political structure to keep humans out of a dangerous place. (I doubt that we can, so Im opposed to nuclear power, and I'll grant that it follows that this is an argument against mines.)

Im not arguing that land mines should be used liberally over large swaths of land. The DMZ is a narrow strip of land. If the Korean dispute ever ends (I have my doubts), it can be made into a nature preserve. Or it can be carefully de-mined over centuries like Europe has been since the wars. Continental Europeans have lived and worked around unstable explosives for over 100 years.

And, as long lasting as land mines are, its not obvious to me that our conflicts can not outlast them (!! I do have faith in our obstinacy). The Korean war is 70 years old, the DMZ is not a dry desert (some border regions are, however). Eventually the materials will crumble and nature will take over.

Finally, the basic question remains unanswered: are the (relatively rare) loss of life and limbs of innocents over decades or centuries worse that a war like the one that would break out between the Koreas? That's not obvious to me.
