In the beginning, there was the "super key" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_key_(keyboard_button).

Its purpose: control the (global) desktop environment (versus e.g. Alt/Ctrl/etc, which control the currently focused/active/local application).

Many "Windows key" shortcuts do desktop environment actions, hence the Windows key is the super key.
There's a concept called "provenance" which is basically "how sure are we that it's authentic". What work like this is doing is comparing scrolls with uncertain provenance to items of very secure provenance like known fragments from the original excavations.

You can find forgeries everywhere in the antiquities trade. Some of them are modern productions, but many (see all pieces of the true cross in churches around the world) are old enough to be historical artifacts in their own right. One of the things that makes it difficult to know if objects of uncertain provenance are legitimate is that it's very common for locals to find materials missed / never seen by archaeologists or to simply loot from excavations in-progress. The dead sea scrolls were found over decades by many different groups, so they're particularly susceptible to this. Forgers take advantage of that. Good forgeries can fool even scrupulous buyers and are mainly given away by things like incorrect radiocarbon dates or the forger's unfamiliarity with the details of the source material like the article.

Saying someone "succumb[ed] to weakness" while you instead "ground it out" and lost weight "the right(er) way" is clearly saying that you're better.
I’m not so sure. My observations are certainly not statistically significant, but I’m a Brazilian who moved to Germany. One of the things I noticed when using email here is that the amount of people who have an email not @gmail.com, but whatever German provider that has to follow GDPR is much higher than what I saw back in Brazil.
This suggests that the population in general in Europe is indeed more privacy-conscious.
In unicode_string if you have a look at how the segmentation is implemented (https://github.com/elixir-unicode/unicode_string/blob/master...) it will make a lot of calls to Regex.split and it does this as it moves along the string. It will be calling Regex.split on the remaining part of the string it needs to work on a lot. The problem is Regex.split as implemented in Elixir just runs the regex on the whole string looking for all the matches even if you include a limit on the number of parts so the segmentation algorithm is going to have quadratic complexity. Also, when there are unicode ranges in the regular expression it runs a lot slower. However, the erlang re engine is not validating whether the binary is valid utf8 or not before running the regular expression matching. These errors they were getting was because Regex.split() causes the erlang re engine to match the whole string.

For example:

iex(86)> v = "£AXAX" <> String.duplicate("A", 10_000) <> "\xFF"; {:ok, r} = :re.compile("[£-¨]"); :timer.tc(fn() -> :re.run(v, r) end)
{65, {:match, [{0, 1}]}}

Also, even though Regex.split() returns two strings that are the size of the input the function does not necessarily have to linear because erlang has fast substring slicing. Example:

iex(47)> x = String.duplicate("A", 100_000); y = :binary.part(x, {0, 5000}); :binary.referenced_byte_size(y)
100000

Though, its probably not safe to rely on this because :binary.part() will not always use a fast slice if the slice is not big enough. I know some erlang parsing code explicitly keeps track of indices instead of using <<"foo", rest::binary()>> idiom presumably because its faster.

Here are some timings from Regex.split() that show that it is linear to the size of the input. You can see there are some very big constant costs that hide that Regex.split() is linear when not using unicode ranges.

iex(25)> v = "AXAX" <> String.duplicate("A", 1); r = ~r/[£-¨]/; :timer.tc(fn() -> Regex.split(r, v, parts: 2) end)
{31, ["AXAXA"]}

iex(26)> v = "AXAX" <> String.duplicate("A", 10_000); r = ~r/[£-¨]/; :timer.tc(fn() -> Regex.split(r, v, parts: 2) end)
{232, ...}

iex(37)> v = "AXAX" <> String.duplicate("A", 1); r = ~r/X/; :timer.tc(fn() -> Regex.split(r, v, parts: 2) end)
{39, ["A", "AXA"]}

iex(29)> v = "AXAX" <> String.duplicate("A", 10_000); r = ~r/X/; :timer.tc(fn() -> Regex.split(r, v, parts: 2) end)
{38, ...}

iex(38)> v = "AXAX" <> String.duplicate("A", 100_000); r = ~r/X/; :timer.tc(fn() -> Regex.split(r, v, parts: 2) end)

Pegging the Freedom Caucus as QAnon (or something else) only goes to show your tendency to peg them as you like, as opposed to what they are saying they are.

When Kevin McCarthy says things like:

* “It will be hard not to [hit Pelosi with her gavel”,

* threatens funding of future campaign of GOP candidates,

* promised “unlimited war” for vote,

* prematurely move into SOTH office,

* while sporting a foreign color handkerchief on his coat breast pocket

* and vote with DNC 47% of the times (Pelosi only side with GOP 7%)

* having egged various international organizations to announce him as “elected SOTH”, and

* “I earned it”,

what we have here is a terribly-constructed PR optic of an entitled anti-American globalist with little care for the 20 much needed GOP votes that is crucial for a suitable GOP mandate over next two years.
Specifically chose this neighborhood because there is no HOA. The goat/sheep/whatever was hilarious and was gone within a week. The point is that just because I don't live by an AirBnB (that I know of) doesn't mean I'm guaranteed to have no noise from neighbors. The renters before honestly did suck a lot, but if they wouldn't turn down their bass, and the cops couldn't be bothered to do anything about it, I doubt an HOA would have helped. I'd rather invest in quiet windows than live out the many many horror stories of my friends who live in HOAs.
Apple's official SwiftUI tutorial is great IMO:

Plus the drivers.

Plus the fact that the streets are full of snow at the time which in addition to making the whole thing timely complicates things logistically quite a bit.
Protect is much better than ATP, both on the endpoint and the admin console. Crowdstrike is also good, with minimal resource footprint.

On my old 16” 2019 MBP, ATP used to legitimately cause a ~10C increase in “idle” temps. Not a huge fan.
Notifications are not. Yea the browser technically provides them but no one allows this (nor should they)
Ask HN: Are Ideas Worth Nothing? Is execution worth everything?
I just had a robust discussion in which someone asserted that "ideas are worth zero".

I strongly disagree with this. Seems to me a killer idea is worth a great deal.

facebook was an absolutely killer idea, which is why Zuckerberg lifted it from the Winklevoss twins.

The person that I was discussing with referred me to https://sive.rs/multiply which I had a look at and the way I read it, Sivers was clearly stating that ideas have value, and that some ideas are worth more than others.

Of course an idea is worth nothing if not executed upon, but that does not mean the idea is worthless.

What do you think - are ideas worth nothing? Is execution everything?
My biggest problem is that I dislike my job but it has potential to pay off big and allow me to retire (Or at least, semi-retire) in ~5 years off the stock options.

Retiring at 45 seems pretty appealing. I could finally catch up on my massive library of games I've been wanting to play, not to mention reducing my alarm clock usage to likely 10 times a year, rather than 5 days a week.
Yea, I checked the about section of the website a bit and honestly didn't get it :) Not familiar with most of the terms.
A successor to 3D movies, sure, but for more serious purposes you would have to push the level of immersion way up. I'm not sure anything less than a computer-brain interface could actually achieve that. Would you trust your life to a pilot who has only been trained using a VR headset?
I corrected my message - but I am still pretty sure that some of our Ubuntu servers broke that day, despite having been updated. Unfortunately I can't remember the details. Good to know that this didn't affect most phones etc.

Any stability bitcoin has achieved has been through association and/or manipulation with "stable coins" and dubious ties to fiat.

Bitcoin is not private and you can't really use the funds to make any real world purchase without converting into fiat and paying associated fees.

An account with wise.com can achieve similar cross border results with superior usability --- without bitcoin.
GPT gets confused very easily. Try this prompt:

Explain the following C++ code:

int sum(int n) {
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (true || false) {
return 42;
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < n * 2; i++) {
i++;
}
return n;
}

Then ask it what is the result of that function when n is 5, and then when n is -1.

Note that the function looks trivial but it has certain tricks to confuse it. e.g.: "result" is never returned, instead, either 42 or n is returned.

It's certainly better than nothing. But even narrators who don't do character voices bring their own personality to it, which is part of the joy of audiobooks.

And good modern audiobooks are a full-on performance. I love Patrick Rothfuss' books on their own, but Nick Podehl brings them to life in a whole new way. You can't AI that, not with anything resembling current technology anyway.
Can an equivalent length of available-size blades be welded together (maybe trimming the ends first, if they lack teeth)? A person welds a band saw blade together at 2:50 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJV0yV5lHXE and it does not look so impossible.

At that length, you would need a jig or straight edge to keep it linear, not to mention a large space. But it does not seem impossible.

Maybe ask a number of machine shops or even a general contractors to assemble it for you, suggesting this method, especially if you bring the supplies? I would try a small prototype first.

The punch and die shops probably focus on their specific type of product (punches, dies), so I would look broader.

Or maybe put the project on the Handy app? (A hungry person may be happy to do it for you, not thinking more than twice about how unusual it sounds.)

Asides: I wonder what the required blade tension would be and how machine will maintain tension on the blade. Also I wonder why the blade needs to be so long.
https://archive.md/FOsLn

The review is mostly a short biography of Roth and it is interesting, more than I knew before. I reccomend the Radetzky March - I think it's relevant today (really any time) as we're always arguably on the brink of a big decline
> I can eat until I physically can't eat anymore (not something I do regularly, of course), and as soon as my stomach has emptied a bit, I feel fairly hungry again.

There's something similar here I've noticed while testing myself in the past: At least for me, it seems like hunger occurs when the stomach empties by a certain percent of its last maximum. No matter if I barely eat anything, or eat until max capacity, hunger starts after my stomach empties a bit further, but it doesn't take until I'm actually empty (tested by the size of the following meal), and the hunger tends to end after reaching the last maximum. To use some made-up numbers to demonstrate, it's like I can bounce back and forth between 60% full and 90% full or 20% and 30% full, and once I've gone a cycle or two on either of those, the low ends of 60% and 20% make me feel equally hungry and the high ends of 90% and 30% equally full, but I've digested more when the baseline is on the higher end.

It can be difficult pushing from the higher range to the lower range though, have to ignore/squelch the hunger long enough to reach it.
Why do you think rsync is a better alternative to SFTP when merely uploading files? rsync is great when syncing large amounts of files, but I see no advantages when needing to have a method for customers to upload files.
A good UI that everyone can use isn't as simple as just directly drawing to the screen and handling input. You also have to handle things like accessibility that require heavy interaction with the OS.
> FreeBSD user of several years either as a server OS, workstation OS

Oh, could you give a bit of an overview of the State of FreeBSD on the Desktop (or laptop)? I'm playing with the idea. Tried OpenBSD for a while but it just wasn't very consumer-ready. No bluetooth support at all, videos would have audio and video lag, and other issues. Is FreeBSD more suited to daily consumer laptop use? I use Arch btw
It's crazy that AMZN announces this and the stock goes up in after hours trading. People are losing their livelihoods yet rich people only care about the potential higher profits.

This is very disconnected from reality, amzn needs consumers to buy their products. If layoffs keep piling up higher and deeper something is going to break and hello recession!
This seems like the most likely scenariou
> which is ARM under it all so you would think they already have experience in that area.

I think you are probably still incorrectly assuming that the CPU architecture and instruction set have any relevance. What you've described sounds like the kind of software that is a portability challenge due to being tied to specific operating systems and their particular APIs for interacting with peripherals. It doesn't sound like anything that should much more than a recompile to target a new CPU architecture, provided that the application has already been ported to the operating system that will be used on that architecture. Certainly nothing you've described would require hand-tuned assembly code to reach adequate performance on a decade-old laptop.
Alcohol is a very poor drug for getting good sleep. Don’t depend on that.

Have you tried just getting out of bed and reading (non screen) for 20-30 minutes and then going back to bed. I find this helpful when I wake up in the middle of the night. I believe this is called bi-phasic sleeping.
I think the answer is yes. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34253876

They are repeatedly calling Regex.split on the trailing part of the string as they move across the string. Regex.split finds all the matches in the string so runs in linear time so you get a quadratic algorithm. The elixir/erlang regex implementation does not check if the string is valid utf8 before running the regex. They were getting the error because the whole string was being evaluated by the regex engine. It probably won't be as fast as the rust solution but it won't be horribly slow on large strings.
Try getting someone to pay you for your idea. If it works, it was worth something. (Or you're a patent troll)
That chart basically mirrors real estate prices.
> Implying that something is off if you "feel" but are "not" full? How do you define full? Having a "healthy" amount of food in your stomach? However you define it, with asserting that, you have to acknowledge the closely related idea that there's something off if you are "full" (as you've defined it) but still not feeling full - or satiated. It's that broken state that so many of us are desperate to solve.

I call it "brain hunger" and "body hunger". Over time I learned to notice the difference.

Brain hunger is just brain going "heeey, your stomach is empty, I don't like it", or "we just did a bunch , it's evening, me want tasty food as reward", or "we haven't eaten that tasty thing for a while, give food now?". The "fuck off brain, you're not hungry, you're bored" state.

Body hunger is change in physiology, not just "tummy feeing empty", my hands and legs get colder and I feel a bit more awake and on edge. And, well, annoyed.
But it's not ONLY you. Several of the author's core assertions are demonstrably wrong.
In theory. In practice nothing implements this.

But in any case, even if your client did support this and the server supported it, we still need HTTP for other things. I don't think it's particularly a "gotcha". HTTP is also stateless, which has lots of benefits for us.
The last paragraph makes the connection:

> When demand started to wane with customers moving back to shopping in stores, Amazon initiated a broad cost-cutting review to pare back on units that were unprofitable

Waning demand triggered cost-cutting, which focused on unprofitable orgs.
I think this example you present places you as a “simple spectator”, we generally observe and tend to like or dislike experiences by some subliminal connections we already possess (given experience). However, when something really interests a human, the natural reaction is to try find out more about the origins.
Podcasts and audiobooks work for me for this.
No, it would be easy to do on Darwin but only if you were willing to trade off emulation accuracy and QEMU wants to be able to run any Linux program.

Even if you remain in the Unix world (so macOS but not Windows), system-call–level translation will let some of the differences between operating systems transpire to the program; and it will cause failures if a program has #ifdefs to distinguish between Linux and Darwin but then sees Darwin behavior under Linux.

On Windows, you would basically be reimplementing cygwin—imagine what a mess it would be for a Linux program to see Windows paths with drives and backslashes.

Even though blink can run any Linux program in principle, the main idea is to use it for the author's "cosmopolitan libc", to run programs that are essentially scripts compiled to machine code. So you'd write these programs portably but still be able to ship a single binary.
I was just thinking about that today before reading this article. It took me like 45 mins one day to find a health site that wasnt trying to sell a product. Most of these for-profit sites conflate there content to jive with the products they are selling, which can prevent someone from finding information that actual does some good.
I would like to argue that this painful state of seeking meaning is a good thing.

For most of human history we have been stuck in a Stockholm syndrome, a cozy state of delusion, that has been perpetuated by each generation.

The more people find that old mental systems (religions, woo, etc.) are fraudulent and are confronted with this issue the higher the chances someone discovers/creates a paradigm shifting philosophy.

Many people got excited in the past two decades for something like this, yet I feel the wave has dissipated without achieving much, and many have fallen prey to charismatic charlatans.
>As long as you are taking the GLP-1 inhibitor drugs you will lose or maintain weight, but as soon as you stop you will gain a lot of weight back.

Sounds like the opposite of a disaster for pharmaceutical companies.

Well, on the upside, the demand for this is so great that cheap generics shouldn't be too far away, right? And it seems like an insurance no-brainer to cover it for life, right?

Ukulele is even quicker, kid sized and you can hang it on your wall for art when you’ve moved on.
Yeah, I don't weigh my food, so I am just making educated guesses. The only time I knew for certain how much I was eating was when I ate about 0 calories for an entire month - due to advanced gallbladder disease and a hilarious series of diagnostic missteps. I lost 20 pounds. Gained it all back almost immediately after my surgery.
AMZN stock is held by millions of people, not just "rich"
The heartburn has been quite minor, and only at night. Tums has been plenty for controlling it. (But I don't have GERD.) The heartburn itself is definitely not the cause of the weight loss for me, haha.

But intuitively it does make sense, because one of the primary effects of the drug is slowing down gastric emptying, so it causing heartburn isn't exactly surprising.
Small teams often move faster than big teams, that is why small teams are bought by big teams instead of big teams just building their own and quickly taking market share and crushing them with better designs, features, pricing, marketing budget and iteration speed.

Big stuff is slow by nature. Lots of moving parts.
Permanent change kinda fucking sucks if it turns out drug also have side effects.
Does it matter? It doesn't work, so a non-techy user thinks things are broken. Time for a new browser, and a mental note to argue with their kid/grandkid/niece/nephew/whoever told them FF was so much better to use.

It doesn't matter the why or where. If the devs made a site that only works in a specific browser, we are exactly where we were with IE6 bullshit.
It sounded like it was decades of side effects, rather than 3 months. Presumably that affects the calculus

Especially since we're talking about possibly dying a couple years early vs definite awful side effects
Standard math is a subset of nonstandard, and you can prove the existence of NSA within ZFC, so they are exaxtly equivalent.
Sounds like Amazon.

Back in the day they managed to avoid 'layoffs' by transferring thousands of people from Fire Phone -> Alexa. They somehow avoided layoffs from shutting down Prime Air (drones, not 767s), even though that had a lot of employees.

They're pretty good at getting people to leave without doing 'layoffs'.

Heck, if you believe that they've always had 5-10% 'unregretted attrition' targets, which I do, and apply it to the whole company, that's 50-100k employees per year!
At these prices why not get a proper USB meter that can do all of that plus check all kinds of USB power protocols?

Natural bodybuilding is a thing. It does require eating a ton of protein though, so whether or not it's "living healthily" depends on what you consider a normal amount of poultry and fish a person should be eating on a daily basis.
Yeah, fair. They mention recruiters specifically by name. Some of that could also fall into the retail operations bucket as well.
The method of gratification is different from porn is different than to video games.

I don’t have to get off to enjoy obliterating people back in the quake days, but porn is a different psychological mechanism entirely.

I’m trying to assume you’re asking the question to spur conversation, and not that you actually hold the view that watching child porn, whether synthetic or not, is morally equivalent to playing video games.
meh, semantics. the point is that there's a large enough audience that it doesn't add up to making sense for dev time.
'Worth' is the problem. It means different things to different people.

We judge on acts done, not things thought. Thought expressed is a kind of doing. But more concrete actions from ideas to expression usually is the arbiter here.

Writing or recording helps. This changes thought in one person's mind into thoughts in many. If they act beneficently that's an instance of thought having high worth, measured as concrete actions and outcome.

Even just making people feel better about themselves is a kind of action. A surprisingly good one.
