> the underlying system is still just.. Linux.

Don't be ridiculous. It's GNU+Linux. Linux is only the kernel.

In all seriousness, though - yeah, that's... the point. Linux distros have their pain points, but they beat Darwin or NT.
> Software is the language of alienation and increasingly becoming unethical, as these systems are becoming increasingly impactful on the most vulnerable with no buttresses or supports preventing this kind of malfeasance.

This doesn't really have that much to do with software. As with many other things, software can make it easier to have this kind of crap, but it is not the cause and not a prerequisite.

Case in point: Franz Kafka wrote The Trial 30 years before ENIAC.
Totally get what you're saying, but the big motivator for us is to literally deal with less boxes that need to be broken down.
This sounds like the legal equivalent of looking the wrong way through a telescope.

Whoever fostered that naive interpretation was a nitwit. If they’re an actual lawyer, they promoted an intentional, mutually harmful unilateral reinterpretation of an agreement and should be sacked.

Cowering behind T&Cs like this is intellectual bankruptcy. There’s always another solution. The law is not a programming language.
You missed the Audi. What is to say you will react in time to an FSD bug at some point in the future? There are so many disengagements on YouTube where it looks like FSD is trying to kill the driver.
I did read it. I also read Go 1.19's release notes when they came out. I also read rsc's reply to the original post. I cannot figure out how Drew went back in time to add -reuse to Go 1.19 and proxy improvements to the Go team's schedule prior to the Go team contacting him in private.
Only if we keep everything the same. Then yes, you’re right.

Surely you have more imagination than that.
It's not that easy. Those databases might contain personal information which is protected under different privacy laws like GDPR, HIPAA and others and Heroku/Salesforce can not simply store that for longer than agreed upon and Heroku cancelling the account enables the retention period as the customer agreed upon as part of the T&C.
Where I live in New Mexico has consistently poor reception withing about 60 miles. My Spotify is almost always in offline mode since it chokes on poor signal. Radio and TV have repeaters on a nearby mountain that rebroadcast a few stations. Meanwhile Sirius works everywhere except in my garage.

For me it mostly replaces my CD changer, which doesn't exist in newer cars. When I can't decide what to listen to, have poor signal, or don't want to fiddle with the controls, it gives me a nice selection on fallbacks.
I see what you are saying. I think the advice was enjoy that one steak dinner a year on a special occasion. Yeah you could also break it up into smaller amounts over the year. I'm largely indifferent to beef but it was a surprising bit of advice from a respected source.
Have the UL require it as part of the certification.

It is nearly universal that people are a lot more accepting of doing things in other people's back yard than they are their own.
If you can’t find the time, there are a few wonderfully well narrated books out there.
Thanks fbouvier! Zig has been great with how fast it moves, being able to get io_uring in like that, and other features (e.g. @prefetch). The core team are awesome.
I'm also baffled by that after skimming the page and watching the demo video… seems like a Google Docs wrapper of some sort.
TFA links to the actual source. It's short and worth a read before you waste your time hand wringing. TL;DR there's a wide spread of fueling costs and EV is just above/below ICE cars depending on the details of your usage and what you're comparing to.
And now queue the nightmare of being coerced in a future chatgpt, asked inane questions or to act like a search engine, to kinda falsely out lgbtq people, to transform bullet points into shitty gibberish for real estate agents for a 0.0003% commission on 0.0001 dollar-a-word in a serverless, stateless container. Ugh.
> Yeah, and all that will come at the cost of more environmental damage and more suffering.

Not at all. The current systemic environmental destruction happens because it is more profitable to do so. There is no money in protecting the environment. Worse - it costs money to do so. So the system wont do it because avoiding doing it is needed due to the profit maximization mechanic of the system.

> We tried communism as well in my Eastern European country, where all the resources were owned by the state, and there was even more poverty, scarcity and rationing

No Eastern European country suffered from any of those until the US and its Gulf Allies started the economic war against your bloc in late 1970s to starve it of GDP. In fact, Kennedy administration feared in 1960s that everyone in the world would imitate your development model because you were developing way too fast and raised your people from mud houses and barefeet level to apartment blocks and physics education level within the same generation. They thought 'something needed to be done about it'. And they did - it was the Vietnam war. That is called 'the Domino Theory' read about it.

Note that if anyone did even a fraction of what the US did to your bloc to the US itself, the US would immediately trigger a nuclear war as the examples with previous, much lesser offenses show. In a way, your bloc sacrificed itself to avoid a delirious, unstable nuclear-armed actor from destroying the human civilization if it couldn't get its way. And Im not using the 'delirious' and 'unstable' words as metaphors - the US strategic documents actually, literally advocate projecting an 'unstable persona'.

> it lacked the competition and efficiencies driven by the free market

You have no idea about how efficient the free market is yet.

https://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/13/americas-dirty-little-secret...

Entire Eastern Europe is still protected from much of the free market because it still keeps a lot of social democrat measures that were leftover from your communist era and Europe's 1960s era socialism. Wait until those measures are disappeared to make way for 'the market' through the trojan-horse policies of centrist and right wing neoliberal parties backed by the US.
Not at all. AM radio is where I get all my great financial tips on Gold, REITs, and vitamin supplements!

More seriously, the clear-channel license holders are still a big deal. It's pretty amazing to be able to cover half the country from one transmitter. WSM out of Nashville is still relevant for example.
> How is Apple protecting you ... ?

The ostensible protection that Apple is providing is from subscriptions for which cancelling is difficult. If the subscription happens through the app then it's found in the same location as every other subscription that's made through any other app.

I believe OP's point with their quote ("I fail to see how apple has any responsibility ...") is that with the given examples (Netflix, Spotify) one cannot subscribe using their iOS apps. The user will need to go outside Apple's ecosystem (netflix.com, spotify.com) and subscribe in a way that Apple has no control over.

At any rate, I fail to see how this is not user error given that you are sure this is not an app which had its subscription made outside the App Store. If it was made in the App Store, the user is only required to remember to cancel at all.

I don't mean to speak against most of what you're saying but many of your arguments read as a non sequitur. It's hard to agree or disagree because it's just hard to follow along.

(edit: rephrasing)
The idea of needing the car to know how to keep me in-lane is bizarre to me. Never in my life have I found it difficult to stay in my lane. The day that I need a car that helps me stay in my lane, is the day my license needs to be revoked and my decrepit ancient ass settled into an old age home.
Thats what kids want, more reading words.
Aren't you just pointing out that fluent speakers don't often have a problem communicating? Surely that's true for any language, almost tautologically (they would have changed the language, even unintentionally, if there were major problems).
it's possible the person asking the question is younger than good old manpages.
i think comments can be very useful. for example, look at the c function strlen:

int strlen( char * s );

the following comment pretty much describes what it does:

- if passed a null-terminated string, returns the number of characters in the string, excluding the terminator

- if passed a null pointer, or an incorrectly terminated string, behaviour is undefined

these are the kind of comments i like to see
> Drew went back in time to add -reuse to Go 1.19 and proxy improvements to the Go team's schedule

where did anyone say that?
Great thing about Git, is you can look at the code at the time when the comment was written, and still retain the original value of the comment.

If there have been major structural changes that make the comment useless- that’d be pretty easy to see, it’s very easy to delete comments
I’ve never quite understood why this is so certain.

If I instantly teleported to Alpha Centauri, that wouldn’t put me in the future.

Sure, if I turned a telescope back towards our system and watched Earth, I would see myself wandering around as I was four years ago and then… after four years… I could watch myself step into a teleporter.

This is entirely consistent and in no shape, way, or form would this let me get super rich on the stock market.

You could only ever know information from your present or your past.

Imagine a hypothetical universe with a maximum speed ‘s’. The creatures in this universe could develop relativity and everything, the same as us. But what if ‘s’ is the maximum speed of sound in the gas that fills this toy universe? What if the creatures are all blind and use only sonar to get to know their world? Would travelling faster than ‘s’ be violating causality somehow? Or would it simply be the same as a supersonic plane, leaving a sonic boom behind it?

Having said all that, I very strongly suspect that FTL will never be possible. However, I don’t agree that it would result in time travel if it were possible.
It's about building a narrative. Yeah, you could still cheat, but who would go through the effort of generating hundreds of hours of fake videos proving yourself innocent. For that amount of effort you might as well have done the work yourself.

Of course there are some people who put insane amounts of effort into not doing "real" work. However, anyone trying to prove that your child is in that position is going to find themselves in an uphill battle.

Which is the ultimate goal here. Make people realize that falsely accusing my children using dubious technology is going to be a lot more work than just giving up and leaving them alone.
Yeah, don't want to say the industry, but our software suppliers absolutely hose us on a regular basis. We're theoretically supposed to be held to a high standard, or at least our customers are very demanding with quality.

Our suppliers routinely deliver junk, yet somehow have the ability to just say "it is what it is, take it or leave it". It's not a pure outsourcing type of arrangement either, and they have other direct relationships to our customers, also.

These aren't some randos with questionable reputation. These are big industry players, one of whom a lot of people in engineering would be familiar with, yet they seem to be able to launder their responsibilities.
Is there a secret plan to improve Zig's IDE support? :)
> Less people per unit land also means less cars per unit land.

Only if you arbitrarily cherry-pick the unit of analysis to support your argument.

The only way to actually reduce cars per unit of land across all available land is to increase housing density so that sensible transportation alternatives like bicycle and metro become viable for the lazier marginal population.

The problem is that PET plastic leaches chemicals at sub-boiling temperatures.

PET plastic bottles are frequently used to hold food and beverages, and considered "safe" by the industry, despite research that suggests they leach endocrine disruptors into food.
To be fair, the beta is out and it seems to work shockingly well from what I can tell. Expecting it to be out of beta and working everywhere in a year seems reasonable
Correct, it is just CPython compiled to Wasm (similar to compiling to x86 or arm)
both these features are older than the Go, Rust and Swift programming languages, can we stop calling them modern? I started learning C++ when I was 11-12 years old, if I was born the day of the C++11 release standard I would already have started learning it by then
Small, well named functions have served me well in this regard, eg.

I can't think of any examples of the top of my head, but I have definitely seen this many times. One form it comes in is writing the meaning in kanji but then using an English word in Katakana as the Furigana for it. One example I can remember in that form, though it's not song lyrics, is "とある科学の超電磁砲" where 超電磁砲 has the Furigana レールガン (rail gun). Another form it takes is doing the same thing but using a different Japanese word instead of an English one.

There is just absolutely all sorts of fuckery in Japanese on a count of people playing with the language. It's a fun language to play around with.
I sure hope it isn't dead. I listen to it every day.
Never trust any company or hardware. Either can fail you at any moment. Always keep your own backup. Still sucks though.
Mayhe something like chatGPT could be fed diffs of a change and warn about comment rot and recommend fixes (once it has a much bigger context window).
I used to program Perl and C on various *nix systems in the 90s. I wasn't a Perlist or C-ist or Unix-ista. I didn't need to hate Macs and Windows and C++ as part of my identity.
apparently nobody quantified the projected losses, because that would have caused this to not be ignored. i blame everyone involved including the service provider. everybody did something wrong

> The app uses algorithmic predictions, which Kevin Systrom sees as ‘the future of social.’

I see this as the anti-future. All I want from social (e.g. Facebook and Instagram) is a chronologically ordered list of things I chose to follow. That's it.
You make a very good point: Only cities chop down trees, private landowners absolutely never ever do.
Github knows the license of projects. It knows if you forked an open source project.
> Better not write tests either, because those will become stale too.

They do go stale, but tests were invented exactly so that your documentation is able to alert you when it has gone stale. Their existence rests on being an attempt to solve to this problem.

Is it possible to write markdown in Google docs? This is what often pushed me back to Confluence for various docs, the markdown plugin works as expected, so I can write naturally or copy-paste from obsidian.

Markdown is so ubiquitous as a dev that I strongly resist writing anything else these days.
You did, when you wrote the words "Because of his actions", is I think what they're saying.
What I find interesting about your comment, is that while it can produce that mediocre essay. It can also produce a much better one.

How? Well it's all about how you interact with it. But the majority of use as you said will be taking the first output given the input. What's amazing to me is learning to reject the output in favor of our own vision or conflicting ideas.

If chatGPT helps people get past blank page syndrome and interact with their own ideas better to see the limits of what is returned contrast to what they think. That would be an incredibly useful tool for anyone trying to learn.

They just want make enough people become broke via layoffs/debt payments so that their demand evaporates due to not having any money to spend, because that's the only thing they have power over. JPow has repeatedly implied that the average person AKA labour force is merely an expendable statistic.

Feels like the Republican vs. Libertarians issue. Like the author accidentally noticed that there are other valid point of views. "Maybe those LGBT groups do make a point and should be accepted and integrated just the way they are."

But honestly, there are just facts which are settled in the larger community and trying to negate them just doesn't lead anywhere, when the fruitful discussion is in "the smaller issues".

We (as in "we from the West") don't have anything to gain from entertaining thoughts like reconsidering the banning of women from any type of education. That's a settled topic. And luckily in my country the murdering issue is also a settled topic, specially if put in contrast to what is currently happening in Iran.

Maybe what triggered me was his title and his cheering about his enlightenment. "The benefits of listening to other people's opinions" vs. "I want to lose every debate".
> Sorry but your ancestors were regularly getting eaten alive by wild animals a few generations back (heck it's still an existential threat to some people). People had to resort to canibalism to survive famines. Plague, TB, polio. Just a hundred years ago there was ~1 in 100 chance a woman would die during childbirth. >40% of kids would not live to age of 5 in 1800s

I'm not sure how this counters the idea that we should not dedicate our lives to menial jobs. It seems kind of unrelated.

I wish we turned down the snark a little bit at HN.
> it should increase the quality of writing overall if people start taking advantage of these tools

Perversely, it might also dramatically decrease reading, if there's no incentive for anyone to need to properly understand anything.

A pretty dire scenario :(
Those can not be compared that easily. There are many changes you can do easily. Changing data retention periods impacts guarantees customers may have given in compliance to privacy regulation like GDPR, HIPAA etc. and thus is a substantial change to the customers in areas with such regulation.
Many of our ancestors killed other ancestors because there wasn't enough resources | food | land | conquest

Man of our ancestors didn't survive the winter, or the plague, or slavery...that doesn't mean I want or necessarily need to wear my self out for someone else's portfolio.

I've had years where I was only present the last 5 minutes before passing out each night. the other 23:55 of the day spent in a mad rush, eat/sleep/work/repeat.

That's nothing to be proud of, especially if you don't have to.
Isn't the context thing true for anyone learning a second language?

I was an immigrant in the US as a teenager and it felt like that in English for me my first few years here. Eventually I got to a point where I can understand stuff without actively paying attention, and it got a lot easier to understand anything with or without context.

As an interesting aside, I speak Cantonese natively, and I barely speak Mandarin. Mandarin to me is like that as well. I have to pay 100% attention to keep up, and as soon as I lose context, all hope is lost in understanding anything in the conversation forward.
It sounds like the actual problem is getting too many meaningless notifications, inadvertently training people to ignore everything
Interesting - I could see California cities attempting to force fairly tall towers (taller than 5-over-1s) into small areas in an attempt to prevent upzoning the rest of the SFH areas in their cities. Hopefully this will work better than the last time this strategy was attempted (housing projects in mid-20th-century USA).

Have you ever been subject of a criminal complaint? Not long ago I was detained on some absurd hearsay. I was cuffed, I was fingerprinted, I was strip searched. Tossed in a cell. Made to perform bodily functions in front of officers. You don't know who is going to take care of your pets, your child(ren). You don't know if you'll be fired from your job. You don't know when you'll be released. In the case of something involving a child, it will be used as prejudicial information in the DCS case and the followup investigation. You quite likely will be put on a civil list of child abusers, which makes it difficult to work with children or adopt.

All these things make public playgrounds just extremely inconvenient. It's such a treacherous hazard I can't in good conscious consider it as anything close to a substitute.
