I thought Elixir was "feature complete".

Granted, that doesn't mean it won't be worked on. But it does implies nothing "huge" will be happening.
Wikipedia has always had an issue on some pages with tankies whitewashing some brutal monsters.

The Kazakh Cyrillic alphabet has 42 letter and barely a couple of them have diacritics. One of the main problems of the Latin alphabet is its poor vowel and sibilant inventories.
It is there, but seems to be essentially abandonware. The ‘mate’ command line tool to launch the app fails more than half the time on Apple Silicon, the plugins and bundles that exist are years out of date for Ruby and Rails, and I don’t expect it’ll ever get support for LSP.

So, sure, TextMate still exists. It’s still my default scratchpad for modifying text, and I even use it for some light scripting from time to time, but I don’t actually use it to build and maintain complex software any longer.
Great features.

Ummm, but are our raw messages being stored at their servers, in a form of encrypted data-at-rest (such that no one can get to the message on the hard drive, if stolen, powered down, or an errant process accessing them ... without a key),

... AND are the keys being kept only on the clients' side (such that keys are generated only by client-side and its keys are never sent to Telegram servers)?

I didn't think so.
It could be the case that in 30 years, we look back at the aesthetics of our current times with fondness and nostalgia.
But even though English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French are written with the same 26 characters and a handful of diacritics, the sounds (phonemes) are quite different. Transcription doesn't have to be 1:1, although it would be nice if it weren't as messy as English. And the Latin alphabet is certainly no worse than Cyrillic or Arabic. Look how Czech manages its various phonemes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_language#Orthography.

But that's just partially true. Sure, you can't test the whole system at once. But testing each station separately is totally doable. Seems like there was no oversight to check whether the claims made by the station were factual and tested.

Equinix to cut costs by cranking up the heat in its datacenters
We in tech reinvented some of it:

1. Recite this problem from the Leetcode corpus as performance art (which FAANGs tell undergrads at top schools to spend months practicing, on top of their coursework, instead of exploring what interests them).

2. Demonstrate this particular method (which happened to be taught at our rich-kids alma mater, but no one else had heard of).

3. Now answer this culture question in STAR format (which we told you to take time ahead of time to practice, and to prepare correct answers, so you could speak them faux off-the-cuff, as a shibboleth).

It's upper classes creating the questionable gatekeeping rituals, and children of those classes who tend to have the spare time and coaching to best pass the filter.

There's so much in this essay to unpack, it's all over the place -- more of an extended rant than any particularly cohesive argument.

But one of the early points is "why is everything so gray instead of colorful?" Which is easy to answer -- when all your cars and buildings are super-colorful, they clash. They become garish and ugly and screaming for attention. Thank god we've moved to more neutral tones that actually tend to go together and recede into the background... so that we can use accent colors instead! If someone chooses to wear an attractive bright red or yellow top, let the accent be on them as a person, rather than their surroundings.

But otherwise, the answer to most of the rest of the essay is: economics. New construction (and furniture) looks the way it does because it's the cheapest to put together in terms of initial cost and maintenance for the building's desired lifespan.

Neal Stephenson has an appropriate word for ChatGPT's output: "Bullshytt".

>authenticated security code through a text message or phone call

SMS is not the only choice, a phone call is offered. For several of my online accounts, I get a security code through a voice call to the VOIP phone on my desk, which is the only place where I choose to log in to financial accounts.
That product is at least one and a half decade old though. I wouldn't call any of their new products "managed".
Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable
Our Hosting provider, Hetzner, has recently started charging for public IPv4 addresses - as they should! Those numbers started getting expensive. This prompted me to try and set up a new server cluster using IPv6 exclusively, and see how far I could get before having to give in and purchase an additional v4 address.

The experiment ended much sooner than I had anticipated. Some of the road blocks I hit along the way:

- The GitHub API and its code load endpoints are not reachable via IPv6, making it impossible to download release artefacts from many projects, lots of which distribute their software via GitHub exclusively (Prometheus for instance).
- The default Ubuntu key servers aren't reachable via IPv6, making it difficult to install packages from third-party registries, such as Docker or Grafana. While debugging, I noticed huge swaths of the GPG infrastructure are defunct: There aren't many key servers left at all, and the only one I found actually working via IPv6 was pgpkeys.eu.
- BitBucket cannot deploy to IPv6 hosts, as pipelines don't support IPv6 at all. You can self-host a pipeline runner and connect to it via v6, BUT it needs to have a dual stack - otherwise the runner won't start.
- Hetzner itself doesn't even provide their own API via IPv6 (which we talk to for in-cluster service discovery. Oh, the irony.

It seems IPv6 is still not viable, more than a decade after launch. Do you use it in production? If so, how? What issues did you hit?
Anything like that will be widely known "in the industry" even if it's not openly described on the internet like https://openinframap.org/

And if it is known in the industry it is absolutely guaranteed to be known by all countries, friend and foe alike; and real "foes" will have even more knowledge.

What is kept secret is what tooling the various militaries may have to assist in a black start, and what would trigger them actually attempting assistance.
> I would definitely write (or at least read) a few Bazel rules before writing a new build system that improves on it!

You have a point there; I didn't because everything I've seen is that people like the results of Bazel, but they hate writing rules, so Bazel rules seemed like something to not emulate.

But point taken.

And thank you for the explanation. It seems providers allow for multiple outputs on a target. My build system allows that, but bundling such outputs together is a good idea that I need to add.
Yep, this is one of the amazing things about it. But using ChatGPT to determine whether a query is good for ChatGPT answer does not address the second point I made, one about typical latency requirements (it makes it worse).

Normally you want your search results in about 500ms. Using ChatGPT to first figure out if the query is good will take 1-3 seconds then using it again another 1-3 seconds. So we are talking about results in about 4 seconds. Plus it is not 1c per query now it is more likely 1.5c per query as you introduced an extra prompt.
It doesn't mean that the thing will be in the Elixir language. Nx was teased in a similar way and ended up being an external library.
Do they? Both alphabets are almost identical, but Cyrillic has many "standardised" sounds that don't appear in the Latin alphabet (Ж "zh", Ц "tz", Ч "ch", Ш "sh") while I don't think there isn't anything the other way around.

The biggest difference is that Latin scripts tend to create new sounds by adding diacritics or digraphs while Cyrillic scripts tend to create new letters — IMO the second way is better for non-Slavic languages.
Yes, it executing an algorithm that you just described in prose is nice and all, but please explain to me how this bit works:

> Yes, I understand the process you described. It is similar to the standard multiplication algorithm, but instead of starting with the units digit and moving left, it starts with the most significant digit and moves right. Additionally, it includes an extra step of multiplying the partial product by the PLACE value and adding it to SUM.

Note that there was nothing instructing the network to compare the two algorithms. On the contrary, the poster wanted to avoid any connection between the two as not to confuse the network.

So it knows what a "multiplication algorithm" is (even if it has the wrong idea of it) and has this knowledge readily enough accessible that it can notice if a different algorithm is similar to it - and then compare the two? And all of that unprompted?

RSS is still around! Most news & blog sites support it, though sometimes you have to go digging in the HTML to find the feed URL. On the client side, I find Feedly to be satisfactory on both desktop & mobile, and they actually have a business model so hopefully they'll stick around. There are of course many other clients, but that's the one that stuck for me.
> Then the majority come up with (a / 2) + (b / 2) until they run the unit tests and realize it's wrong.

A few more operations than the article though so not the most efficient solution.
I agree, it's an old notion, and reads somewhat Gibson-ish. I am enjoying the article. In a way the narrative matters less to me than the fact that it feels like the old days, and I'm glad this kind of zeitgeist is still clacking around the tubes.

What you are saying is that de daemon isn't a separate service but only runs as part of the GUI. Also on *nix the Docker CLI talks to the daemon. The difference is how the daemon is hosted.
There are two schools of thought: those that think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and those that think, like Steve Jobs famously quipped, that some people just have no good taste.

After fighting with this concept for years, I decided to embrace the superiority and smugness that comes with the latter: the vast majority of people have no understanding of beauty and aesthetic.

The only thing that stops the world from becoming uglier is social norms and peer pressure. Otherwise there'd be more people very proud of wearing socks with their flip flops in public and choosing serif fonts for their computer UIs.

Mind you: beauty doesn't have to be conformism nor normative. But like music, you need to understand the rules first, before trying to break them.
> In fact, many religions accept a kind of shadow-world as part of their orthodoxy.

Consider pre-scientific times: little did people know at the time that there was a whole world or "level of reality" all around them that could be seen, but only to those who knew how (which had to be discovered and developed). Consider also some of the reactions (powered by intuition) people would have back then if someone from the future ran some of the things we now know and take for granted by them, and compare that to how modern people react when propositions regarding unknown matters are presented to them.

It seems at least plausible that humanity in 2022 has not reached the pinnacle of potential knowledge and capability.
My first real job was for a sdet position and I was asked how to test a function that takes 3 numbers representing lengths of sides of triangle, and determines whether the the numbers can form a possible triangle. E.g. (in python),

def is_triangle(a, b, c) -> bool:
...etc...

One of the things an ideal candidate would realize is that the triangle inequality needs to apply (a + b >= c (for all permutations of a,b,c)), and that if a developer naively implemented the above via:

if a + b < c:
return false

it'd run into this exact problem.

I'd thought this question had gotten stale / overdone, but perhaps it's still a great interview question.

Cyrillic has custom characters for character pairs in western European languages. For instance, {a,e,i,o,u} are in both Cyrillic and English (for example), but Cyrillic has custom single characters for what English would spell as {ya,ye,yi,yo,yu}, and then similarly for what English writes as {sh,zh,ch,shch}.

Cyrillic also has a couple soft vs hard annotation single characters, which I'm not able to explain well in terms of their cousin western European but still Indo-European languages.

So you get horrendous spellings if using Latin characters for the Slavic sounds, like you see in Polish.

(Disclaimer: i'm a native English speaker who had years of western european linguistics, also took Russian and had a Polish grandfather).
Chinese pinyin isn't meant to be read as an alphabet though, it's just a different set of information that isn't explicitly available in the ideogram. At least as a foreign language learner, it's not possible to reliably identify initial, final, and tone from the Hanzi alone (although certain patterns do emerge).

Transliterating Kazakhstani Cyrillic to a Latin alphabet won't change the underlying information available in the characters, it will only change the way the characters are being presented. No detail lost.

That being said, I am wistful of the change.
We created a distinguished & ever-evolving catalog of typefaces — every glyph has been carefully crafted with obsessive attention to detail, ready to use on your next big project.

> Vietnamese is one of the few recent adopters I know of to add unique accent marks, although they still use the same character set.

This is an understatement of how complex the Vietnamese writing system is (I speak not a single word).

They don't just have diacritics, they _stack_ them to form towers of diacritics. Ok, so only 2 high, but even so.

Ignoring the air traffic thing, I agree it's a stretch.

Back when Sun was still in business, Linux's SMP support was still in its infancy, futexes were not a thing, and the pthreads documentation was nonexistent.

On top of that, fsync was actually broken on ext2/3. Also, there was a single kernel level lock per file, so you couldn't have two CPUs seeking in the same file at the same time (oracle recommended using a block device instead of a filesystem, and provided a list of changes to the kernel source you needed to make manually if you wanted Oracle on Linux to be supported.)

None of this mattered of course, but the Linux kernel certainly wasn't "better" than Solaris back then.

The general tradition for Latin alphabets is to add diacritics to existing letters, which makes the text abstruse and nudges people to omit them.
Yep adding noise would mess up the deltas which would reduce the efficiency. This can be mitigated with a quantizer, which I was hoping to write about next.

I suspect it's possible to achieve 99% lossy compression without getting too complex to be understandable in the toy codec with a couple more of these similar techniques.

When I was 14, I worked 8 hour shifts 4 times a week including 3 during the week after school. This included operating a deep fryer which didn't automatically raise and lower the baskets which is a task specifically called out as a violation. When I was 15, I left that job for a warehouse job where I worked a 4 hour shift M-F after school driving a forklift. Working at 14 was younger than most of my friends but by 16 most of my friends had jobs and definitely worked longer than 3 hour shifts on school days. Most of them worked retail or restaurants which mostly meant shifts from close to when school got out until closing. Our school day ended at 1:50pm. My friends were almost all either middle class or upper middle class. Many worked to pay for a car. Others were gifted a used car but expected to pay gas and insurance so worked.

This was in the mid to late 80s. I wonder if these were violations then.
Thanks for calling this out. I set that up a long time ago, but this gave me a good opportunity to fix it :)
