> I mean jesus christ, you'd have to be born under a rock to not know that Star Wars is a cross between a spaghetti western and a samurai flick.

And WWII movies (633 Squadron and The Dam Busters, most prominently) and a splash of sword-and-sorcery fiction (the "magic exists but is rare to the point of being near-mythical and not really thaaaaat powerful" thing is some straight Conan shit, as are some other elements and flavors in the setting—from the stories, that is, not the movies, which came too late to influence Star Wars, though, fittingly, James Earl Jones is in both).

Star Wars' greatest contribution to cinema—and it's a big one—is pioneering the multi-genre pastiche. That thing Tarantino does? Like, his whole career basically? Star Wars cleared the way for that. Proved it could work and result in a good film, proved it could make money. The most successful later entries understand that formula and lean hard into the genre-mashup and freely ripping off other works thing. Mandalorian's full of that, for instance (to the point that you can make a meta-game of watching it, playing "name what they ripped off")
How come GPT can seem so brilliant one minute and so dumb the next?
It's taken a few years but the menus on my Sony mirrorless have grown on me.
Package managers are sometimes great for the user, and as mentioned, a pain for the developer in many cases. To cover even "basic" bases, the developer has to manage many package managers. Ouch.

From the user side, the package manager often doesn't do what I want, either. I could install Node (as an example) via `apt` or `yum`, and end up with a Node installed in a root location. Now I'm in a mess. Or I could use a install script, or even yet another 3rd party solution such as `npm` to do what I actually want: Node installed for me. ...of course, I just mentioned a whole other can of worms: All the "other" package managers out there.

TL;DR: KISS often is the best solution.
Do you know what the violent crime rate of poor blacks was vs. poor whites in 1950s/60s?
Hah! I too have used a Sony Xperia Android and the UI was atrocious there as well!

The same has been said about some of the PlayStation UI’s.

In my opinion, this is more of a Sony problem and less of a camera problem. Though that may just be me!
Turbo Encabulator Pro is my favorite DevOps compiler
HAProxy is great. I use the dataplane api with our releases to drop servers from the group for zero downtime release. Easy curl command, which they provide, and switched it to powershell too. I have another script that downloads our SSL/TLS certs and reloads haproxy using their no downtime reload option. I ran a load test earlier this year using loader[.]io and managed 57,782 requests in 20 seconds using a single haproxy server (tls) and two .net core web servers. Around 300mb/sec of data after brotli compression. Bottleneck was clearly the two web servers and could have scaled more but it was on a 1gb link and testing 10gb links over the internet is not something I am prepared for testing. HAProxy was basically idle the whole time.
The weakest form of rebuttal is using thought terminating clichés like "bad faith" and "straw man" instead of pointing out the weaknesses in their opponent's argument.

I am saying that the "sunlight is the best disinfectant" (which is the straw man you were taking a swipe at, if we are going to that level of debate) has more nuance to it than magically making the deplorables disappear. Many of us are programmers here; among the first things we do to respond to an issue is to expose and assess the full extent of the problem before working toward a solution.

Keep in mind that Wikipedia has a habit of censoring the infobox URL for sites their editors don't like.
I would support eliminating both the anti-general strike and anti-collusion laws. It seems unfair to ban collusion by capital but not by labor.
Simple: Optimizing for small code size is uninteresting for 99% of the software that a CPU runs. What matters is performance (especially when you argue that dense code is good for performance), and most real world software is optimized for performance.

I get the argument of -O2 vs -O3 and I'll be sure to measure that. However my experience is that x86_64 does pretty poorly in -O2 too compared to RISC.
It took me ages to realise that "sandbox" meant sandpit. I didn't really think about the word, but I never made the link.
Yes, absolutely.

Put another way: Systems with great benefits are able to survive their great failings.

This dynamic explains most "inexplicable" situations where something seemingly terrible in certain specific ways enjoys continued success.
I'd say it depends on how far out you're willing to zoom.

For example, legislators and regulators allowed this kind of laxity to be commercially advantageous.

Voters allowed legislators and regulators to ignore the issue.

To some extent, parents failed to instill in their children the civic virtue of voting wisely.

Etc.
Another commenter made a similar suggestion, that this outcome makes sense when analyzed in a game theory framework where participants play the game repeatedly and seek to maximize their long-run expected value: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33830734

This "repeated games" scenario is very common in social science and economics.
As I post on many threads, I have barely heard a single story about retail losing money on FTX, whereas I personally knew a handful who lost money with LUNA. I assume institutions are holding the vast majority of the bags here.
Interesting to mess around with once I got the hang of things though you’re setting up a pretty high barrier to entry by making your own DSL just for this web studio. I wanted to filter out the NaN rows but I couldn’t get that working in my 5min of messing around.

Also, Cleveland rocks… Ohayo!
What a coincidence, I just watched SANS ICS’s promo for their new HyperEncabulator last night. Finally, an Encabulator for the modern cybersecurity environment.

The other variant that would be interesting here is where only the attacker (or alternatively the defender) reveal their rank.
> What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is a reference to a famous line from the 1975 film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." In the movie, a character asks a wise old man about the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, and the wise old man responds that it depends on whether the swallow is African or European. The line is often cited as an example of a nonsensical question, because swallows do not fly at a specific airspeed and it is not possible to determine the airspeed of an unladen bird. In reality, the airspeed of a swallow would depend on many factors, such as the type of swallow, its size, and the conditions in which it is flying.

> What was the answer to that question in the movie

In the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," the wise old man responds to the question about the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow by saying that it depends on whether the swallow is African or European. This line is often cited as an example of a nonsensical question, because the airspeed of a swallow would not be the same for all swallows and would depend on many factors, such as the type of swallow, its size, and the conditions in which it is flying. The line is intended to be humorous and does not provide a serious or accurate answer to the question.

Count me impressed. I threw some wild cards at it that are probably not that original.
It's not 'actually' DNS, no, but it's sort of like CNAME redirection, except Wikipedia's the authority instead of the (first) domain name.
> Objectively, “climate change” was happening on this planet allegedly since it was born 4.6 billion years ago. It’s a natural course of thing

By this logic, plenty of species have died out in the 4.6 billion years of earth and so we should do nothing about the demographic crisis in many countries. After all it’s all just life and life will go on.
If we manage to create life capable of doing 1) and 2) but also capable of self-improvement and self-design of their intelligence I think what we've just done is created the next step in the universe understanding itself, which is a good thing. Bacteria didn't panic when multi-cellular life evolved. Bacteria is still around, it's just a thriving part of a more complex system.

At some point biological humans will either merge with their technology or stop being the forefront of intelligence in our little corner of the universe. Either of those is perfectly acceptable as far as I am concerned and hopefully one or both of them come to pass. The only way they don't IMO is if we manage to exterminate ourselves first.
Letter from former Twitter employees' lawyer to Musk
Its a good question. I should have said I have "dependency fatigue". If we do stick with a framework, it would be Svelte, it has a great Dev UX. Over the years, I have came to the conclusion every dependency is a future problem, especially if pulled in w/o giving it much thought. It takes two hands to count the number of times we had to refactor an app because some client side router changed their API _again_. Writing a small client router that does only what we need is an event listener and switch statement. Javascript/CSS itself has came a long way in the last years as well. I have no plans of building yet-another-framework. Leverage what the browser gives us as much as possible, any annoying boiler plate can be a snippet or generator. Avoiding the complexity that a bundler adds is also a bonus. Tucking logic away in dependencies, whether written by ourselves or others can complicate things.

I am a founder first, and a developer second. My biggest goal is to build products that solve problems and load extremely fast and are as lightweight as possible. The less tech involved the better.

Lastly, this is just one person's opinion, and I am often wrong.
> packaging for rpm/deb (in my experience) can sometimes be an enormous pain with many hoops to jump through, _especially_ if you're trying to get your package accepted upstream

I would say this is the primary pain point for maintainers, which is why we're suddenly seeing bash scripts instead. The technical complexity and the process of upstreaming and then doing this for a bunch of different distros. If they're already rejecting package management systems because of their current state, the solution isn't "well, why don't they just use existing package management systems".
My sole motivation for wanting twitter to die is that this format dies with it.
Well, it worked out for you, but starting your own business is usually exactly the wrong move for someone who doesn't want to work themself into the ground.

The automotive firmware industry has had a strong preference historically for stable, old dependencies. With the advent of connected firmware, arises a strong force pushing in the other direction — towards frequent updates, built from latest and greatest dependencies. How they balance verification and validation for safety purposes with frequent and more volatile updates, will be interesting to watch.
This is a good example of a question posed in bad faith. I shouldn't have to reply, but unfortunately in this situation if I don't address it, it looks like I'm simply unable to, which is not the case.

I have a stunning revelation to make:

I am not in favor of allowing all legal things on the principle that because they're legal, they should be allowed. In fact, given that the thing you're replying to is arguing in favor of moderating SPAM, I figured it would be apparent. Apparently, it is not.

Furthermore... Like SPAM, harassing someone in the DMs by simply calling them homophobic or racial slurs is not "free expression." It's harassment. Harassment, libel, etc. are not things that everyone (hopefully not most) who believe in free expression as a principle are trying to defend.

I'm mostly not going to address the "lots of people have told me" and disregard it, since it's probably made up for the bait. But if not, I mean... Good for all of those lunatics, I guess. I'm not associated with them, and I don't like Twitter or any social media platform to begin with.
Yes, exactly. But I thought it's better to read it in context.
This is a silly statement. It’s victim blaming and not actionable. Don’t park a rental in the city? Ok where am I supposed to park? Or should I not drive here to start with. But then I’m walking in San Francisco and I hear that’s not safe either. Or perhaps not come here at all?

Don’t be a photographer in San Francisco. Don’t go to a public park. Don’t drive home from a photo shoot in San Fran because thieves will follow you and steal from you.

Stop blaming the victim for doing normal life things.

There’s plenty of blame and plenty of heads to put it on before you need to stoop to that level.
My extended family is in Scotland while I'm naturalized here in the US.

Our wedding "save the date" notices caused a bit of confusion - they were published with 6/3/06 (Jun 6) and sent in Feb. From my uncles: "we'd love to come, but that's a bit short notice..." Oops. The formal invites had the dates spelled out.
Was, and it’s been a long time since that was the case.
It's only bad if the hot water takes a long time to get hot, which used to be much more problems than it is in newer systems.
The extension could also use Wikidata [1] entries – which (AFAIK almost always) hold the data that is displayed in Wikipedia article's infobox – because then it wouldn't have to resort to parsing HTML.

Specifically, Wikidata has a "official website" property [2] that seems to be used. If there are multiple extensions, like in Sci-Hub's case [3], it could pick one based on user preferences.

I think humans do in fact create things out of 'thin air' - but only in very, very small pieces. What we consider to be an absolute genius is typically a person who has made one small original thought and applied it to what already exists to make something different.
This one is really good.

I think the title is a bit misleading though, possibly putting some people off unneccessarily.

I found it is more about "Algorithms that govern the Universe" than some kind of recommendations for how to live.

With that title, I would have read it much sooner as well.
We'd love to hear about different use cases on our next HAProxyConf. both community and enterprise environments.
We just wrapped up HAProxyConf 2022 in Paris (https://www.haproxy.com/blog/haproxyconf-2022-recap/) and are starting to plan for next one. The Call for papers hasn't been announced yet but feel free to shoot as an email at submission@haproxy.com.
It's ironic that Americans pronounce their independence day in British format.
Dive into the details of what "clean" packaging entails, how much practices differs between distributions, how many distributions there are, how each dependency also needs to be packaged and maintained across upgrades...

And you'll quickly see why projects say fsck it -- we support installation via curl | bash. go and package it yourself it you want to.

It really highlights the need for a broadly adopted "homebrew for linux" type package manager that could safely manage software without conflicting with OS packages.
Yeah, honestly the density numbers are tough to find because "NYC" always includes Queens,etc....so you kinda have to go look at subsections of major cities.

The point is that Manhattan isn't particularly dense when compared to other world-class cities major population centers, and these other places have solved the problem of trash collection. NYC exceptionalism seems to be the fall-back explanation for why it "can't be done"....but to me it fails under further inspection....literally fails the smell test :)

Finally, you're correct that the trash bins aren't a panacea, but not allowing a literal rat buffet to fester on the sidewalks 3 nights a week is a good first step.
I agree. Why memorize something that is well documented? Do you understand basic interrupt management and the existence of interrupt controllers? Good. Understanding basic concepts matter, but silicon implementations of a concept? No.

One question I have found useful in embedded development is asking someone to discuss the difference between a thread and a process, and the difference between thread based OSs and process based OSs. It is a general question, not bound by anything like CPU architecture, but just gives an idea into whether the person is comfortable about general memory domains.

I have mentored people, bright programmers that never worked in small embedded systems, that initially tripped all over the thread model, but eventually came to understand it.
I tried ChatGPT from OpenAI and my mind was blown
I think the thing congress is worried about is how quickly the entire country devolves to anarchy if the trains stop.

We cancelled all flights in the USA for two days after 9/11 and it really didn't do much of anything major, but Walmart turns over all stock every month or so, and groceries are turned over much faster.

Trains also provide a significant amount of coal still used to fuel power plants.
Re 2, the work per instruction doesn't matter if you compare the same program/program execution, in practice you will get an estimated of the resident set size over the amount of work.

All your other points do stand and that's what I mean with 'is very machine dependent'. And yes, if you want to isolate fully the effect of instruction density an emulator might be the only solution. Still I think that profiling counters can get you 90% there.
In case it's not clear, I think they should go to the spam as any other spam of whatever party or topic.
Why is the requirement for an Influential Billionaire to do cataloguing? And how do you definitively know that it is not happening under the radar?
School choice exemplifies the worst of our hyper individualistic culture. Yes, it would help the children of the hyper involved parents, but the remaining children stuck in the public schools would have far worse outcomes, and guess what, they need to contribute to society too. Creating a society that doesn't look out for those who need the most help is not a path to success.
I guess I wouldn't have had an issue if he had said these were tiny homes, with mostly gas appliances, gas heat (if any) and no air conditioner. That's a completely different world from most of the country.

But to me the kicker is that he went into no further detail. Transformer setups like that are done with knowledge that overloading can happen. If your defending him, then you'd surely know all about how much and for how long, right?

Instead, he just said 2kw per house, which is literally absurd.
It is very freeing. And one concise readable go routine doing the channel reads and the socket ops becomes your connection pool, but is as easy to understand as a Network programming 101 assignment.
Elon Musk suspends Ye’s Twitter account after swastika post
> devs don't like packaging for every distro under the sun, and MacOS, and FreeBSD, and... If you really think `curl | bash` is the problem, then you should be lining up to package the stuff you use for your distro

I mean, no, those aren't the only two solutions. As with accessibility requirements for public-access shops, "we the users" could mandate (either through legislation, or more interestingly, through some kind of medical/legal-like software-engineering bar association) that devs either properly package their apps, or don't release them at all.

I'm not saying it's a good idea; just saying that it's probably the solution brewing in the back of the minds of people who write things like this.
Agree alarm clocks are cheap, but there's a very good reason to have one. Single use devices remove another area of phone dependence. Switching from waking up to phone alarm to dedicated clock alarm has been a huge help for me. It allows me to charge my phone in another room and create at least one no-phone zone in the house.
> can't be troubled to run a website

Yes, that's right. They have more important things to do than worry about hosting a website. They rightly use third party applications to disseminate information.
Dell does not have ecosystem lock-in the way that Apple does. The question is not whether you will care or be sad that Apple blocked your game, but whether you will care enough or be sad enough to ditch Apple going forward.

Apple killed the 3.5mm headphone jack, it was and remains a really frustrating inconvenience, and yet here I am, still using a bunch of Apple products.
> It doesn’t purport to have its own viewpoint, or its own editorial stance.

The central issue here is whether government officials can override the moderation policies of these companies.

The idea that twitter and other social media companies are just neutral platforms doesn't make any sense. Moderation and promotion of messages based on the content of the message has always been central to their business.

Also, the idea that you can just call a company "a platform" and then the government can just start directing the content of its media operations is rather alarming.

> Insofar as many folks on the left believe that corporations don’t have free speech rights period

To the extent the first amendment has anything to do with free speech anymore, they do. "The press" would have to be understood as an organization, not individual people. I don't know much about your far left people, though.

In the Bay it’s about “Making the World a Better Place”, which is the all-important fig leaf to cover up the uncouth sin of hypercapitalist greed.
This is a straw man. The actual viewpoint is "I don't want more of my hard-earned money to be taken from me via higher taxes and then wasted".
I’m responding to a generalization with my own specific experiences, so if anything this comment should be going to the original person I responded to
