IMHO you got this slightly wrong: ENA has not been closed, it has merely been renamed to INSP. Which is to say, that there was no true reform in this regard.

In the same way business schools are really networks or clubs (there is little learning taking place at BS..), ENA is a club for the highest-ranking civil servants in the country (i.e. no learning happens at ENA/INSP, merely co-opting into the club of those who then should serve the country but instead gut the state for the benefit of their class).
Sort of, but I wouldn’t expect a human engineer to be so confidently incorrect. In fact, it would be a big red flag. I’d much rather have a “you know, I’m not very familiar with Unicode or UTF-8, so I’d have to do some research before I could come up with an answer.”
This whole subthread reads like an HN parody.
Yes.

Few of my friends were using Macs and used TextMate. That was years before Sublime was even released.

To me it Sublime was a fast, but clunky alternative to TextMate that ran on PC.

Kernel parameters are usually documented in the kernel-parameters.txt file in the source.
See https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/...:

hpbussize=nn The minimum amount of additional bus numbers
reserved for buses below a hotplug bridge.
Default is 1.

The way to get from the error "No bus number available for hot-added bridge" at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/pci/pr... to this specific kernel param is still a bit involved.
Makes for a good cold open where you want to inform the reader of some detail that the book's characters aren't privy to.

I know "mainframe" is ambivalent but RPG was introduced and used with IBM's midrange line ie. I-Series aka AS/400; so not "mainframe" IMO, and the IBM proprietary non-COBOL language on "mainframes" aka z-Series running MVS would be PL/1.

2. Claim you were 'in it for the tech this time'.

3. Secretly sell your coins in an exchange before the bubble pops (Hopefully the exchange doesn't collapse like FTX or Binance lol)

4. Claim you don't believe in crypto.

5. Wait until the dust settles and correct 4.

That is true...Paxos only issues the token on Ethereum...I also asked the same question myself..What if binance issues more busd on his own ? I think CZ is under pressure as he has Chinese look (non-western) but major player in crypto which is something not okay for US or west in general. He knows this and it would be too stupid for him to issue arbitrary number of busd tokens to break 1-to-1 peg.

In the lead up to the financial crisis, sub-prime MBS deals always had series names like MLST-2006 11 or some such, based on the issuer (typically the initials of the special purpose vehicle), but I always believed the ones with pronounceable series like SALT or CBASS (especially clever) traded better.

A stable coin prounounced “busty” would definitely be at an advantage with crypto bros.

Whichever option the boffins decide, nested and flattened should be isomorphic. And used interchangeably.

Like this, but for CSS: https://github.com/wnameless/json-flattener

Sharp observers will notice that flattened declarations look like path expressions.

While CSS selectors are nice, path expressions enable concise drill down to precise modifications (overrides).

For future, every programming language should have intrinsic path expressions. Basically a useful, usable, legible version of LINQ.

PS- I really don't get the '&' ampersand. It's like a reference?

"foo.bar { ... }" is sugar for the expanded "foo { bar { ... }}". Makes sense. (No ampersand required.)

But "foo { bar & { ... }}" being the same as "bar foo { ... }" breaks my brain. What's the use case for reversing the parent-child relationship, contrary to the lexical order?

Update: Oh. It's a SASS thing. Meh.

Unfortunately the real world version of this would have to deal with at least case folding, and most likely the oddities of specific languages and unicode (like all the ways to represent the "same" letters and numbers, ß in German, narrow and wide katakana etc). I wonder if SIMD can help with this or if it's just too complicated?
It already is a replacement. You can make a visual novel video game with AI generated character art, backgrounds, music, run your dialogs though AI if you can't write well yourself - and your game will have higher production level than 90% of competition. All those artist you would normally hire or commission the above stuff from are now out of the process if you want. Sure, it's not a particularly high bar, but it's only going to raise from here.

It isn't the chip architecture that people are buying. It is the hardware that gets asymptotically close to Tandem- and System z-like features that you cannot yet get on x86- and ARM-based gear. Lots of HN folks like to throw shade on AIX, but if you have someone who is dead serious on obtaining near-mainframe-grade RAS on "a Unix" and is willing to write the checks for it, the check is smaller on POWER systems running AIX than trying to effectively roll your own under x86 or ARM systems running whatever Linux distribution you care to choose.

It just so happens that in the vast majority of use cases, x86 or ARM systems running Linux are good enough for the business purposes. The first few times you run into the situation, you'd be amazed what losses and risks business will tolerate when faced with the costs to mitigate that last 0.1% of profit optimization.

In absolute numbers there are way more commas than the average HN'er retirement portfolio in that last 0.1%. But when it will cost almost the same in the first 3-5 years of migrating to AIX than that number, the IRR payout timeline is way longer than most businesses will tolerate. And most managers are savvy enough to understand the teething pains in the meantime are a career-limiting move.

Me neither, MOND seems entirely reasonable intellectually, scientifically; I don't have a strong view as to whether it's right or not, but I know serious people who do.

"Meh, HN eh?" probably the best response :-)
By that logic should we assume that every crypto company who don't do audits that meet your standards is "fucked"?

For instance, do you think Tether is "fucked" too?

I'm not saying that Binance is doing everything great. I have no idea. But isn't saying that Binance is "fucked" a bit much at this time, with the current evidence at hand?

I'm just saying that this is bad journalism.
Or you just haven't undergone an Oracle audit yet. From what I saw, their business model is entirely predatory.
Unfortunately, you would still have the problem of seemingly-arbitrarily needing `:is` in some cases, when the & isn't at the start of a declaration.

So e.g.

.someClass {
:is(a) > & {
font-weight: 700;
}
}

instead of the more intuitive (but impossible)

.someClass {
a > & {
font-weight: 700;
}
}
VSCode is owned by Microsoft, ever since Microsoft bought GitHub in 2018 it was bound to happen. The two text-editors had the same audience therefore Atom was bound to get shut.
I find that many people "banging the drum hard" for a text editor are falling for the same kind of faulty thinking.

In my experience, the only situations a colleague has been slowed down in a significant way by their choice of editor seem to boil down to two categories:
- Haven't put in the time to actually learn the tool (i.e. using vim purely in insert mode, or VSCode as a plain text editor, constantly going back to a file manager to find and open files) and get stuck in a particularly horrible workflow.
- Burn hours daily fiddling with their setup, chasing perfection.

Neither of these are typically caused by the tool itself. At the end of the day... I'm confident most devs can be quite effective using just DOS EDIT or Notepad if pressed.

As for me.... unless I'm doing something specialized, I catch myself trying to eke out that last 1% productivity boost from my editor and ask myself... is this really the best thing to be messing with? Usually, it's not. Honestly, writing documentation or doing a quick prototype is much higher return.

I do wonder whether "no nesting" should've been an option in the poll. Not because I necessarily think it's the right option, but it might be: if this gets added to CSS, but people keep using other tools for easier nesting, then we're stuck with that implementation nonetheless.
Linux will free memory that's backed by files, and load it again when it's needed. Under heavy memory pressure this has the same effect as swap thrashing, even if you have swap disabled. The kernel's out-of-memory killer does not help, because it's designed to work only as a last resort, and the system is still technically making progress despite being unusable in practice. AFAIK no other mainstream OS has this problem.

The solution is running a userspace out-of-memory killer, e.g. earlyoom.

If i had a private plane, of course i wouldn't care. I don't care if they follow Bernard (richest man in the world now) either, and he is a way, way, way more private person the Elon Musk. Bernard wasn't okay, sold his plane and now rent jets at a private company, which is a good solution tbf.

Now it will be a bit harder (and more expensive) for him to go on "fuck it" trip like london-to-london because the taxi is taking too long to arrive. Fine by me.
I'm not defending Oracle here--far from it, as their sales and follow-up audits when you ask for support are purely predatory--but a tiny fraction of companies are in a business where "hire developers" is a feasible or reasonable approach to a problem. You might argue that software runs everything, so every company of a size where it's reasonable to even consider something like Oracle is in that business whether they want to be or not, but that's just not how it works.
This is false.

My story, I bought a new widget, a gaming wheel a few years back, and it did not work on my Windows machine, I even reinstalled Windows, installed the drivers from disk it did not work. I send the thing back and report it broken and the guys call me to report that works perfectly. In the end I bought a different model that worked both on Windows and Linux.

So a gadget with official Windows support did not work on my machine, even after I wasted my time reinstalling Windows just in case but worked fine for some support people.

I had a diffrent experience with a USB WifFi antenna , it come with a mini CD with drivers but my PC had no CD Drive, there was no online source for that no name brnd.

I plugged it on a Linux machine and it worked, then I done a lsusb and found the real chip powering the device, then Googled for that I found a compatible Windows driver on a drivers website and I fixed it for Windows machine.

Linux has problems, but install a LTS distro on compatible hardware and you should not have issues for a few years.

To balance things, my latest bad experience in KDE was when Kwin crashed and refused to enable compositing again printing a vague reason in the logs, I found using Google that KWin put an isOPenGLSafe=false in soem log file and refused to start compositing but for some reason (maybe is a valid one) was incapable to print also that "I refuse to start compositing because of this setting - lesson for us devs, when we put stuff in log messages, put as much info as possible

Depends. Chrome for example doesn't vet these as much as the other browsers do. Someone in a sibling thread linked to this tweet from a Mozilla engineer: https://twitter.com/denschub/status/1582730985778556931

It's great software but really far from being the greatest of all time.
A lot of my problems are from tinkering as well but that's why I am using linux, to control it better and tinker with it. Why won't I just use macos if I wanted something I can't tinker with? I think people lose sight if why Linux even exists to begin with, it is all about user control and ability to tinker/hack it.

I think better UX and more configurability would solve this stuff (from a friendly interface). The reason desktop/distro people won't do that is because it is considered bad UX practice to have too many decisions for the user. But imo, a Linux user would be an exception. In an ideal world, whoever decided to disable the boot flag in this case should have provided an easy to access distro/de setting to flip it back on.

I agree with what you're saying. My point wasn't that we should have more empathy with bullying billionaires (although I can see how someone might read my post this way), but that even rich people sometimes have real problems that can't be easily solved by spending money.
The thing is.... You found a solution and if you wanted to understand you can always look at the kernel doc. When a similar thing happens in Windows, you are just done... Not only you have a very slim chance of not having to reinstall everything but even less understanding what is happening (ie. Probably an intern that committed something in some close source driver than will be silently fixed some day).
I think it would be almost trivial to build in a “generate 30% different than” (the legal amount of difference before a work is considered different than the original).
