I don’t really know it, but I think most asbestos applications in buildings are not very dangerous as long as you don’t to construction work.
This is such a weird rambling document. Like, just in the cold opening its going out of its dressing the IP discussion in the political terminology of someone with a vaguely nationalist agenda, calling it the "Western Intellectual Property Regime". The random headings of Persian text just adds to the perception of that undertone. But then it takes a strange internationalist bent, contorting itself to define "globish" (which is really nothing more than the international English everyone uses for global trade, but cross out "England" and write "globe" everywhere). As a document it seems to spend inordinate amounts of time defining already established and tangential concepts in the most obtuse and verbose way imaginable before even trying to circle back to making some sort of logical case. It has a strong wiff that the core argument is going to be a word game. The argument is probably bad but good luck digging through the terminology to find the flaw. It feels like the sort of long, rambling, maybe crazy maybe genius document that news reporters will one day refer to as a "manifesto". I can't imagine who it was written for. It sounds academic, but it certainly wouldn't show up in a journal.
Plastics and microwave, I've seen this combination too many times.

Room temperature plastics are bad enough...
You joke about radioactive isotopes, but a lot of tobacco does have polonium-210 lurking within the chemical cocktail you're inhaling.
Sure—the point is, $12 billion of transfers being attributable to exploits over several years is quite small considering crypto markets are slinging an order of magnitude more than that every 24 hours.
A lot of conclusions in your comment based on assumptions that are not supported by anything I’m aware of. I read his statements as “dealing with an extra level of inefficient bureaucracy every day is annoying”, not “these pesky lawyers won’t let me do risky things”
The hype cycle wants to end, but the pace of technological advance is breaking it.

That's the Zig compiler that is implemented inside the wasm blob. Since we commit that blob to the repository, we want to keep is as small as possible, which is why it only contains the C backend and nothing else.
"Fire Safe Cigarettes" - now required by law in the US - are the modern way to kill smokers faster than tobacco otherwise would. I'm convinced that they were pushed through by the anti-smoking groups as a purely homicidal, punitive measure. The toxicity tests were fudged (by including cigarettes which turned out not to be fire safe)[1].

Ironic, since if you follow the thread you'll learn that since Apple still has complete control of your device, it essentially still has access to the keys.
> Can the user install them?

Doing so is not legal. Here's the standard boiler plate license for the LSPs

> You may install and use any number of copies of the software only with Microsoft Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code, Azure DevOps, Team Foundation Server, and successor Microsoft products and services to develop and test your applications

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/ms-vscode.cpptool...

The key here is VSCode (MIT) is NOT Microsoft Visual Studio (the product) and only the product can use the LSP's, tools such as GitHub Copilot or the Visual Studio Marketplace Ecosystem.

> Is there some awareness about this in OSS communities?

Yup

> is there some kind of consensus? (Is it something like: okay, then each programming language project needs to provide its LSP, like Rust has rust-analyzer, Scala has Metals, etc..?)

The consensus is that programming languages need to author their own LSP integrations and not allow Microsoft to build it. It's why rust-analyzer, go, metals are self-developed by their communities.

Again https://ghuntley.com/fracture recaps the problems w/VScode and how Microsoft is building a GitHub 365 vision through VSCode.
Counterpoint - Google employees get a large portion of their compensation in stock, particularly in upper management, and consequently have incentive enough to keep the share price high on their own.
I've never considered that but it makes perfect sense. Might try to code something up given some freetime.
The HN formatting with the two spaces in front kinda messes it up.
I've edited it some more to add some triple quotes before the query and it fixed it for negvsvpvny vagryyvtrapr even with the added spaces before every line.

Sometimes it goes on wild tangents trying to explain what it's doing and that messes up the result but if it goes straight for the answer it's always been correct for the sentences I've tried.
what's zig's advantage over nim?

I have decided to stick with main stream languages after playing with various new languages in the past including ziglang, it's fun but in the end, more of a waste of time.

in practice a language is really an ecosystem, from compiler, tools, editors, libraries, field testing...if you want to get things done, you just have to use the main stream ones.
If you live in Venezuela, crypto works for you now. Fixing all the world's corrupt and dysfunctional governments won't happen tomorrow
I don't think that addresses my question about why this particular tradeoff was unusually objectionable, it looks to be just the general point that safety is good. But even your examples of "doing it right" are implicitly doing the same thing as the Pinto: not spending infinite resources to improve safety, but cut it off at some point.

Also, this is false, or at least, you've asserted it without basis:

>Unfortunately the same argument makes the case for ignoring safety all together.

If you have a reason why this case stands out, I'd love to learn it. If you just want to shame everyone who recognizes the inherent tradeoffs in improving safety, then I'm not sure your comment makes HN a better, more curiosity-friendly place.
The byproducts of cannabis combustion are certainly not healthy, but the saving grace is that even the heaviest weed smokers inhale far less smoke than cigarette smokers.

And unlike tobacco, safer alternatives exist -- vaping doesn't require combustion, and edibles obviously carry no risk from inhalation.
Right, so that’s a no. Google releases research papers but can’t productize anything. They are like a modern day Xerox Parc.
To be clear, stolen crypto is true economic activity, right?

Edit to downvoters: I actually meant it unironically. Thiefs often want to "cash out" as soon as possible. I'm not saying it's a net good, but it feels "real and gritty" as opposed to many other crypto transactions.
I need help recovering a Gmail account and I don't have the phone number anymore, or do I remember the recovery Email ... Is there anything I can do?
Normally I've come to expect an AI to return a correct answer, but possibly to the wrong question. Here it's sort of the opposite--following the conversation well and seems to understand the question, but it's giving a wrong answer.
>No, because it carries a false implication.

IOW, exactly the criticism everyone is making about the article's framing of Ellison's history. We're back to square one.
Not freeing memory is a fairly common approach, in compilers and command line tools as well. If an AST hangs around until the end of the program anyway, why not let the OS take care of blasting it away? free() is expensive after all.
pretty sure that's false at least for cash.

as for hypothetical crypto underground economy, nobody has really explained how exactly you are supposed to convert those liberating coins into physical goods (that makes all retail illegal?). Which makes it not an argument but a very fuzzy dream.
I don't agree it's a different problem, as OP pointed out, ZF with the axiom of infinity replaced by its negation is equal to first order Peano Arithmetic, sometimes referred to as the theory of hereditarily finite sets.

Said theory is also sufficient for all intents and purposes of doing real analysis.
you are right to be suspicious of the explanation -- the truth is partly what is said in other comments, and partly that core City Hall employees, local Police and Fire unions have built retirement and 401k investments that are insolvent -- also a Ponzi. There is soft money being pushed around a LOT right now to pretend its OK.

Except that overall the car had the same safety, and normally HN is totally on board the argument that it's not an atrocity to neglect ossified standards if doing so finds an alternate way to accomplish the ostensible goal (here, safety).
The portrait format of most PDFs is one of the reasons I always insist on having a portrait mode monitor.

My current setup uses three 4K displays: my ThinkPad P1's built-in display plus two 24" 4K monitors (currently LG, but I've also used Dell).

One of the 24" monitors is above the ThinkPad display, in landscape mode with the left edges aligned. (Actually the monitor's left edge is just a pinch to the left of the ThinkPad display's, so they look aligned when I'm using them.)

The other 24" monitor is to the left of these, in portrait mode. The bottom edge is about 3/4" above the desk, allowing room for cables to go underneath it.

The portrait mode display is perfect for reading PDF files, and also great for HTML documentation, long text files, etc.

Note that 27" monitors would be less ideal for this configuration. The top of the portrait mode 27" display is too high up and would cause neck strain.

All three displays are the same distance from my eyes, about 20", and I wear single-vision prescription glasses adjusted for that distance. The ThinkPad display scaling is set to 300%, and the 24" displays at 200%. It is a pretty great setup.
> I never said this.

I understood your original comment to imply that you disagree with their choice of self-hosting the Zig compiler because they should instead have focused on architectural improvements, in which case I disagree because the two things are completely orthogonal in my mind—the benefits of self-hosting have little to do with performance, and certainly don't come at the cost of it. I apologize if that's not what you were implying.

> This is a thinly veiled ad hominem.

I never personally attacked you, so I'm not sure why you think this is ad hominem. That's a very uncharitable interpretation of my comment.
LoL you pick your hero at the start

Overwatch is all about swapping heroes during the game

Blizzard even incentivised swapping heroes more in Overwatch 2 (30% ult charge retained, vs. 0 in Overwatch 1)
In terms of infidelity, this attitude doesn’t make a bit of sense to me. If I meet a woman and start a relationship I’m not rationally going to hold it against her that she’s slept with other men before me, and if the relationship ends I wouldn’t be concerned if she slept with other men (or women I know) after me. So then, why should I be so concerned if during our relationship she sleeps with other people? Disease and paternity issues can be managed with protection and DNA testing. You know, I wouldn’t dare tell someone they aren’t free to do as they please with their own body. They might turn around and ask me why.
Title 7 is such BS.

If a bunch of dudes want to get together and form a video game company, now they have to hire a lady and it changes the whole vibe of the company. Bad for both parties.
Not long ago, Musk publicly stated that if the vision of a huge fleet of self-driving cars doesn't work out, then Tesla is worth zero.

Sure, that could be hyperbole, but it is straight from the horses mouth.
Have you tried high quality (CRI>95) LED lighting?

I have tried many different brands and quality and found the high CRI ones to be much more pleasant and with a nice looking and smooth light spectrum.

I have not checked with an actual spectrograph but where I live it is almost impossible to find incandescent or halogen bulbs anymore.
it still blows my mind that fossilized bones can remain intact for tens of millions of years. I know it's mostly minerals at that point. Still, it blows my mind that anything is able to retain its shape over tens of millions of years.
How much GOOGL do they own vs GOOG?

Larry and Sergey own 51% of GOOGL. Owning GOOG doesn't give you any control over the behavior of the company.
I'd probably wait a few more months before declaring Overwatch 2 a success

everyone with multiple accounts will have logged in on each at least once to get the three new heroes

25 year old game haha. You are not wrong. I was having some fun with SC2 by injecting AI and having it compete on the ladder live. This is against TOS but they have an API that I modified. It is an interesting game.
AWDL steals time from your Wi-Fi connection; it doesn’t drop requests.
It was acquired over 9 years ago....
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliances has a significant community with FA Forever. (https://www.faforever.com/) It reworked all the stock solo missions with updated units and co-op. There are survival modes, phantom modes. There is a reasonable community online for ladder or team vs team play. In a week or so, the SupCom:FA game should be a couple bucks when the steam sales spin up. Well worth your time one remembers Total Annihilation fondly.
You clearly think of package maintainers as stupid and I can assure you that we are not.
There's quite a lot of useful non-scam-related uses for e-mail.
I must be missing something. Did you see the GitHub links in the post you’re replying to?
There's another dimension to this story: the machine itself was so over-engineered [1] it was like using Kubernetes to host a static site with a single HTML file.

They had CNC machined parts when they had the capital to injection mold everything (they could have used exotic alloys and it still would have been cheaper), complex multi-material plastic parts, and the whole thing was way too complicated - the door lock alone had dozens of parts in an assembly controlled by a dedicated PCB.

I am guessing LLVM does not do this.
We published a podcast at Handmade Seattle called Memory Strategies - The Merits of (Un)safe with respected guests across the safety spectrum.

> they use phrases like "less wrong", "mildly opinionated" or now "less than infinite".

> Is there some reasoning behind those phrases? Rejecting the null hypothesis as a way of life?

Not being snarky, but perhaps dumb: of all expressions above, "null hypothesis" is the one I understood the least.
Haha, it was actually sold under the trade name "Eternit". Pretty apt.
If I'm writing React and Prisma code here... what exactly does Wasp solve? Can someone explain this to a relative web stuff layman?
no thanks for this simplified explanation -- "regular old European conspiratorial anti-whatever" is not the same as being suspicious of debt-and-foreign-trade driven core economies. There are winners and losers -- Farmers and their communities are sometimes the losers when you get cheap fruit from 5000km away, and lend money to people for basic needs from centralized and international banking.
Are you familiar with the "Davies Craig Motoring Helmet"? It's a real Australian product from the 80's. They did considerable research and claimed considerable safety benefit. I'm not sure how it interacts with airbags, but here's a link: https://www.whichcar.com.au/car-style/davies-craig-australia....
Have you tried seeing if it connects in another browser?
Whose "traditional finance"? The point of this article is that (Developed functional country finance) >> (Crypto) >> (Venezuela et al finance).
Yeah Game Pass is really a deal. I hadn't understand that it bundle cloud gaming. It's possible by Microsoft's profit from other division.

“You’re Right”
seems like it would be a fumble.

most of the cost is probably training the model, right?

so just throw ads in the sidebar and see how much search traffic you can hijack.
Got high hopes for Sanctuary!
If the "DC value of the sky" could be removed with a simple high pass filter, then there would be no need of doing anything else. The positions of the stars in the sky would be known, and techniques like the one in the article would apply.

I have been working fine so far in startrackers for spacecraft without your tutorial in signal processing, but thanks for the offer
Forgive me if I'm being a bit presumptuous here, but it feels like "C and C++ have diverged so saying 'C/C++' is now wrong" is now one of those viral sentiments that people just fling around. Like "ah! he said C/C++! gotta call him out". Perhaps that's not what you're doing here, but I think it's completely fair to say that C and C++ have language footguns, even if they have diverged. Objective-C/Swift probably also have footguns ;)
This is a brilliant idea which I hadn't thought of before. If the Debian folks are happy with this approach, this could save us a lot of trouble!
I am guessing no, otherwise that would have been showcased. I think most of the python implementations are actually C/C++ implementations, which would be hard to beat, or would be easily patched to be faster.
Thanks, will play around with this more. I've managed to achieve moderate results with this prompt:

"First generate a letter-by-letter ROT13 lookup table for all letters in the alphabet. Each row in the lookup table should consist of the original letter and the encoded letter separated by "---->" characters.
Then use this lookup table to generate another lookup table where you break down the following string letter-by-letter: "Artificial intelligence". Let's call the second column of this table TARGET_LETTERS.
Now take each entry in TARGET_LETTERS and concatenate them."

Requires a few retries but eventually it gets the TARGET_LETTERS lookup table right. But it always fails at the final concatenation step which actually looks easier.

Again, inventing arbitrary hacks totally on your own that none of the builtin tools will know about or help you do. This seems obviously worse than having a seperate services actuated by separate timers.
I took a peek at the script and I don’t think I want anyone who writes code like that coming anywhere near my machine if I can help it.
In my experience, Waze is more about the perception of progress - it optimizes for reducing the amount of time you are _waiting_, sometimes at the expense of _progress_.

In NYC, it often makes absurd suggestions - I once got in an uber on 33rd and 2nd trying to get to penn station on 31st and 7th avenue. Far and away the most straightforward path is to head west on 31st street all the way to 7th avenue, but there's always a backup between 5th ave and 7th avenue - but that's still the fastest route. Waze directed the uber to head north on 3rd avenue to 39th street, head west, make a left on 5th avenue, then make a right on 35th, then make a left on 7th. It took twice as long, but we were always moving - it just wasn't taking into account how long it can take to make a turn on nyc streets.
This is fine advice and I apply it where I can, but I'm tired of this pattern:

- "we have a civilization sized malady"

- "have you tried an extremely local remedy, which works at most in your own home?"
The alleged violation is using the IP after the lease expires and before the issuance of a new lease. I don't know if that's true, since most DHCP clients request a new IP long before their lease expires to avoid this.
JS suffers way too much from a lack of a good comprehensive standard library and builtins. It doesn't even have list comprehensions!

I get thinking Python and JS are "kind of the same", but there are so many details that Python gets right and JS kinda falls apart on. Python's pervasive dunder methods means that you can look at objects in a REPL and get a good representation (try looking at any non-trivial Javascript object and it's a major pain). You can define equality. Operations _don't_ stringify by default (so dictionaries work like you think they should). And Python has blocking methods, which means that you can write code in a straightforward way.

There are a lot of things playing in JS's favor but especially as packaging stories get better it's hard to discount Python's ease of use relative to Javascript IMO. And all of this is kind of ignoring the fact that most people are _actually_ talking about Typescript when they talk about JS nowadays, because writing "raw" JS is so error prone that it would be very difficult to actually get serious work done in it without an extra lint phase (I say this as a huge TS proponent)
