> I've ditched Reddit for HN because it contained a lot more worthwile content

I found that at least for myself, this was just a lie I kept telling myself. HN contains almost zero actionable content, and I've not been an epsilon better off for reading it. I come to see it as infotainment.
Modern programming languages are more than capable of providing an abstraction layer that can offer seamless file->struct and struct->file conversions.

It's basically the equivalent of ORM for relational database.

But nobody does it not because it's hard or because the language doesn't support it. They don't do it because we no longer think of file system the main "database" that stores your application state.

Instead we think of the filesystem as a lower level building block for higher level abstractions (such as relational or whatnot databases)
> Subscriptions allow companies to better develop organic roadmaps that's not tied to an upgrade cycle

This point is at the center of the move to subscriptions, and I think we should be more explicit that we want companies to eventually _not_ significantly upgrade products and keep them alive with minimal changes for a long time, while we're still paying for subscriptions.

It I think really important to lower the pressure on companies to have a constant flow of updates every month just to justify to users the money they're paying for. That would bring the old "one big revision every year" cycle to a more severe "meaningless small updates every months".

The roadblock is of course customers wondering why they're still paying every month for a product that sees little change, and I don't have an answer to that, except the alternative had other issues as well.
Yes constantly get this. It’s quite annoying and I’d love to know why. Doesn’t seem consistent or based on char limits.

Anyway, when this happens just use the prompt : “continue”. From this it’ll generally do a good job of continuing where it left off, but some refactoring is often required. As it doesn’t always exactly begin where it ended and leaves out vital code or in complete event handlers and functions for example.

From an initial prompt, you may need to continue several times Ron get to complete code you’re after.

Of course, you can throw the resultant incomplete buggy code back in as a new prompt and request analysis and bug fixes. Which it does a good job of resolving.

Of course, all of this subject to the complexity of your perk or/request

> First, the list terminator need not be the same thing as the empty list.

No it doesn't, but that choice happens to give us a compact recursive definition.

> There can be multiple list terminators ... multiple empty lists ...

Sure, and 2022 can be written MMXXII, and whatnot.

Mathematically, there is one empty list, so why proliferate it?

There can be multiple empty strings which is useful if strings are mutable. If strings are immutable, it's silly to have more than one empty string.

The empty list is immutable, so ...

> under no circumstances should taking the CAR or CDR of an empty list do anything other than signal an error.

Lisp 1 and 1.5 had it that way, certainly. It's mostly just inconvenient. A good mix is to have strict vectors and strings which signal on out-of-bounds, but lists which are forgiving. Forgiving lists allow good old Ashwin Ram to have:

(cdr (assq key a-list))

rather than

(let ((val (assq key a-list)))
(cond ((not (null? val)) (cdr val))
(else nil)))

I'm not an expert but I've read that relocating them is hard because they're so territorial and there's not like an abundance of wilderness left to put him. He probably would have been killed by a younger mountain lion by now if he was in a more wilderness territory.

There was the thought maybe he'd cross back to the Santa Monica mountains, maybe a female would cross over to Griffith park.

He wasn't a problem until the very end, then he was caught and found to be in rough shape, probably suffering. FWIW, coyotes kill more pets but are afaik only killed when they get too familiar with humans or are aggressive.

You fire them as of a date two months from now. For those two months they are technically still employed, but do not have to come to work unless asked. Just like when you resign with two weeks notice, you tell them you're going to end your employment in two weeks and you're still employed until then.

If the employee finds another job, they should tell them when that job asks "when can you start?" a date after the two month severance period is over. It's not that complicated.
I've been using tcpick for a similar purpose to see if a HTTP request is reaching and not blocked elsewhere and to see the raw communication to check on headers.

Borland priced themselves out of the market when they trasitioned into Emprise, now that is what is left as customers, the people that pay for tooling, and sadly it is hard to go back in time for hobby prices.

Ever since the KBC was integrated into the chipset, it's not been an 8042 or even any sort of microcontroller anymore but a specialised ASIC core that just handles the interface between the PS/2 ports and the bus.

Chipsets also started including "fast gate A20" via port 92h when the KBC hadn't been integrated into them yet, although I think the newer ones that have both fast A20 and regular KBC A20 control will basically be the same speed for both. (I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to wonder why A20 control needs to be fast.)

Of course today, we use keyboards and mice primarily via a polling strategy over USB.

You can still get motherboards with a pair of PS/2 ports --- and they're often the high-end gaming/enthusiast-oriented ones too.

> Chechnya twice (1994 and 1999)

In 1994 Chechnya was legally a part of Russia. By that principle, are you considering that Ukraine had invaded Donetsk? Not trolling, just wondering if it is a point of principle or doublethink.

In 1999 Chechnya had invaded Russian Dagestan, which triggered a military response - exactly how does this consitute as "Russia invaded"?

HDMI Switching like that takes long because there is a EDID negotiation going on between the minitor and the input devices.

If you want to switch fast and often your best bet is getting an HDMI switcher that is basically always connected to the monitor and both sources and then toggles between the two. Beware of the supported resolutions and framerates.

A cheap hack would also be to connect your second source to the first using a HDMI Grabber (basically a HDMI-source-to-USB-webcam-converter) and open a fullscreen window displaying that. Then you could e.g. switch by switching virtual desktops.

Another post recommended rhe Blackmagic Atem, this should also work.
Interesting point about Influencers. Havent seen that before. Didnt realize Influencers have a harder time on reddit. So Influencers require a different architecture.
I don't know why people even consider going to a private university. Public universities are subsidized by the public. In California, you can go to community college for 2 years and get general education out of the way - transfer them classes. It is free if parents make under $40Kper year, or about $2K per year in tuition if over that. And annual tuition at Cal State University is about $6-$7K per year. So basically, you can get a university degree in California for less than $20K. Not including room and board and books, of course. But those costs are the same anywhere, so it zeroes out. Tuition is the biggie.
I think you are confusing the purpose and context of BIPOC. BIPOC is a broad and useful term used to discuss social topics that effect that group of people, that is also why it is an acronym, it's a broad classifier. I don't think anyone would ever identify as such directly.

For example, if we sat down and discussed my race, and you summarized it as just "Asian" that would be dismissive, there is much more detail to my identity. But using "Asian" to discuss issues regarding the larger
demographic, like health matters and employment is probably prefectly fine, and more efficient that listing each ethicity individualy. Doing so would be ineffective and exhausting.

If you really believe using general terms such as BIPOC is inappropriate, then stop using "whites" in your language. Who are these whites? Sweedes? British? Germans?...

We could just as well call state land management of wild lands to blame here. Not dissimilar, we have state mismanagement allowing for dead wood build up and wildfires rip through to devastating effect.

In my own state and town, we have nuisance flooding. We always (for some value of always) have. Coincidentally, these flood-prone areas are all fill-in of low-land salt marshes that were the run-off areas for the rain water. We’ve covered every bit of land with development and surprisingly, it is now “climate change” to blame and not piss poor management of land.
> Which is substantially less problematic that the sitting President threatening Twitter.

No, in fact quite the reverse. It is quite problematic. Active cooperation between the FBI and Twitter is a threat to the institutions of democratic governance. That is why it is a scandal and there are things like the 1st amendment that basically say "government shouldn't do this, it is illegal".

Part of the draw of Trump was his ongoing battles with every reporting institution on the face of the earth. His Fake News routine was entertaining. And, critically, all happening publicly and with extensive documentation of every act and insult. Compare that to the FBI here where it is almost coincidence that we even have firm evidence of what is going on despite the fact they were handing out names to be blocked.

> The Mueller report extensively documented Russia's attempt to interfere in the 2016 election.

Which aspects of the Russian interference do you think are a bigger deal than the FBI interference in the political process that are being documented in the linked twitter thread?

You can refer to the Muller report if you like. I ask people to cite which bits of it they are worried about and usually their turn out to be bluffing about there being anything defensible in it. There is a lot of bark and no bite, it looks like to maintain credibility they were relying on the report being so think that nobody reads it.

To take the Muller report seriously requires someone to believe in devious Russian plans to reveal the truth to Americans. And that the Chinese are all angels and have no influence operations of note whatsoever. The whole scenario that Muller tried to paint is an insult to the intelligence, which casts a poor light on Wray because he had presumably read and understood the report.

> It didn't exonerate the Trump campaign either.

I'm going to be polite and listen to your opinion despite you likely not being exonerated for any horrible crimes.

That was always political weasel language, and goes a long way to discrediting Muller as purposefully adding spin to the situation. He was looking very hard for a problem and couldn't find anything. When the politicians are forced back to insinuation that means they don't have any actual evidence - because if they have it they lead with it.
The 'd' here actually transliterates one of the two hindi/common indian language 'R's. One is the dental R (र), pronounced by putting the tip of your tongue at your teeth, and the other is the retroflex R (ड़), pronounced by putting the tongue at the roof of your mouth. It is a cross between a 'd' and an 'rh' sound. The retroflex 'd' (ड) is pronounced in a similar manner.

The second 'R' is used in jugaad here (जुगाड़), and it means to "cobble together" or "makeshift," which exacty what it is: makeshift, hastily cobbled together work done to get the weight off one's shoulder as soon as possible.
It can also simply mean "collect" or "collection", but it means the above in this context.

Edit: There is another 'R' (ढ़) which is pronounced like a (ड़) with an additional 'h'.

This is true for any 'fact' checking system. We are coming to understand that facts is just consensus of the people who observe a thing, rather than a characteristic of the thing being observed. Once upon a time it was a fact that the sun circled around the earth, until consensus shifted to the new fact that earth circles around the sun. The orbital path of neither earth nor sun have changed during these changes of fact, what has changed is the consensus of the observers.

You would appreciate Paris' "coulée verte". This is a 4.7 km (2.9 miles) path following an old railway and is above other roads, intersections, etc.[1]

It is really wonderful (well, outside winter maybe) - and these are the words of someone who dislikes Paris very much.

Another one is the southern one, much longer (14 km = 8.7 miles), excellent for biking.[2]

Indeed. Though because of the resistances and fears to change, some people still buy hybrid PHEV cars. This year is also a bit special because of big supply chain issues and extremely high energy prices. Mostly because of the war.

Some categories for some usages will stay on diesel for some time. If you need a pickup truck for work in the artic, you don't have any good electric option. But if you need to drive to school, to work, to the supermarket, and to the cabin once in a while, you would look a bit like an outlier if you buy a new (expensive) fossil car.

I picked up Nioh a little while ago as it was on the Epic Store for free. I only gave it a few minutes as I got frustrated by the PC controls.

I'm dipping my toes into that sort of game (I know it's not exactly the same, but I'm starting to warm to Souls-type games) and I know Nioh is highly regarded so I'll no doubt give it another shot!

I have one, it's a really nice monitor, sadly there is a small "but". Sometimes, it starts flickering. I'm not completely sure what causes it, but closing the nearest Eletron app will normally fix it.

Yesterday my kid wanted to see a video of volcanos on YouTube, followed a really bright picture of My Little Ponys, the monitor managed to start flickering and retain a shadow image of the little ponies, even as I switched between laptops and power cycled the monitor. This only happens on USB-C input, but seeing as the monitor have an Ethernet adaptor and works as a USB hub, USB-C is pretty much the reason I got it.

Notes: It happens really rarely, and exclusively with the M1 MacBook Air. It might be a firmware update away from being fixed. Also Dells has an excellent return policy.

How much maintenance does the monthly service cost to update? To be clear, this is your service and you get to charge whatever you want, but the difference, in my mind, is that it's one thing to pay to keep the (cloud) servers running. It's the actual dev work (like maybe writing new code to support a new label printer or to handle a newly found messy-ness) behind it that makes SaaS an okay tradeoff.

Paying someone a monthly fee to arbitrage running software that doesn't change, on VMs in the cloud, is honestly where the industry seems to be, but I don't have to be a fan of it. I'd rather have static software I can install on my own hardware, kthx. (But also, I'm not the target market for your label software.)
I disagree. The amount of people who pirate shows is tiny compared to regular viewers of a show. Stopping piracy doesn't really lead to a significant more legitimate purchases; most people just don't pirate in general. And people in general don't buy Blu-Rays because streaming is more convenient and cheaper.
