That's not some statement unique to unions. Every organization suffers from the principal-agent problem and every union has a tension between what the union wants, what it's officers want, and what the members want. Also, there's nothing wrong with greed: it's one of the prime human motivators and is encourage in capitalist/individualist societies.

Unions are frequently reasonably well aligned and sometimes not.

There are many solutions like government mandated elections of the officers, rotation of the officers, multiple unions for a given sector or company or factory, etc... Each solution of course comes with a cost including weaker officers coming in, dilution of the power of the union, etc...

This pattern also exists for governments, transnational organizations, corporations, non-profits, etc... and it doesn't make them bad or good or greedy or saintly - it just is the nature of any group.
Technically it's KDE's browser tech, that Apple, Google, Brave, Microsoft and others contributed to. People sometimes talk like Google made Blink out of thin air.
That would not be a problem in Practal. That just falls into the non-executable subset. And all that means is that you have not set up equations that are executable and that handle this case. Actually, you could set things up so that this evaluates up to a certain error bound based on a proof of monotone convergence. All without redefining \sum, but by proving additional equations for \sum.

Note that I am not saying that math is code. Practal is based on logic, and logic transcends code. What I am saying is that code is math. At least, that's obviously true for purely functional code. So there is no reason to write the subset of code which is purely functional not in math notation.

F for Southwest and the tower for lack of awareness, big fucking A+ for FedEx guys for babysitting everybody around.

I think one problem with the radio communication is that because of its terse and scripted nature all of the emotion is removed and it does not convey the urgency.

I can imagine the apprehension of FedEx pilots when they asked "confirming we are cleared to land Runway 18 Left?". I can also understand why the controller just treated it as one of the million other question of the same type without ever catching there is anything wrong here.

It doesn't, mostly because it's a fairly large area to have opinions about, and not everyone agrees on what is required (in fact, I know of at least two orgs using Dokku that would definitely not agree on each others requirements).

Honestly I think Dokku is complex enough as is without me trying to hamfist my idea of security onto a user's host. I don't think I know enough about the topic to make good decisions that everyone will agree upon (and will be friendly enough to users to not make them upset with Dokku).
Microsoft somehow keeps "accidentally" resetting my default browser (they love to do that on quarterly updates", they just threw an Edge icon on my desktop that reappears on every reboot and their default browser choice dialog is harassing you really hard to avoid changing the default away from Edge.

They're doing a huge amount of dark pattern stuff to avoid people from using other browsers these days.

Factori now supports Python and C#
The Factori tool's core is about generating static interfaces for Tezos smart contracts. We want to take advantage of this new release of Factori to announce the support of two new languages (Python and C#).
That comment is 7 years old. I clicked around in Xcode for a bit and it doesn’t anymore.

I didn’t expect “I can’t click “Open Downloaded File” on a file downloading application because the scroll bar is in the way” would generate any discussion. It should be obvious to everyone that it’s an issue and should be fixed.
> Do people also like "diversity" in C++ compiler implementations

Not a C developer (and welcome C devs to chime in here) but my understanding is yes. People were really happy when we went from GCC as being the standard compiler to LLVM.

> the diversity of Python interpreters?

Yes, back (a decade ago) when I used to hack Python it was pretty cool to be able to get IronPython and re-use a bunch of .net assemblies in a language I liked.

Right now in TypeScript land people are enjoying deno provide competition to node.
Just wanted to say that arcentry's diagrams looked amazing. You did a fantastic job.
Actually, they are correct. The only nuance I would add is that, from reading the scientific literature, we are not exclusively in fat or carb burning mode, it's usually a mix of the two. The mix depends on how well your body is adapted to fat oxidation, your blood sugar/insulin levels, etc.

The podcast you linked is very interesting but doesn't necessarily refute the parent comment? You can improve fat burning in a multitude of ways but I believe the best ways are to avoid carbs/sugar and do quite a bit of training below your aerobic threshold. Most people have such a low aerobic threshold that any exercise they do is above the aerobic threshold, so they won't "burn fat" by exercising, instead they use liver/muscle glycogen.

I've always been a runner but a few years ago discovered the low carb diet. I eat less than 50g carbs a day now. I'm very well adapted to be a fat burner and have very little body fat compared to most people < 10%. I did a metabolic test recently and at my aerobic threshold I was burning 2g of fat per minute (which is alot), at an aerobic threshold HR of 158 bpm (lactate threshold at 177bpm), which enables me to run at 6.30min/mile pace and I can keep that up for hours without bonking.

If I eat a piece of bread and go running, my aerobic system never really kicks into gear because blood sugar/insulin levels are too high and the above doesn't hold.

I don't know much about this, but I thought this was a solved problem in the JS ecosystem.

You write Typescript or CoffeeScript or Clojurescript or ES6 or in this case "JS edition2023". You have a preprocessing step that compiles this into code that works on everyone's browser. Your new language has the features and quirks you want, without having to solve the problem of deploying a new runtime to a billion older machines.

I dunno... the way it feels on the other side is that y'all think people are too dumb to not hurt themselves with hammers--which is true!!--and so, rather than trust that people who are afraid of hammers will simply avoid using a hammer they should be actively prevented from even owning a hammer, or even letting their friend or a hired carpenter use a hammer to help them, which is kind of overkill.
You mean Google will deliver a better browser than what currently iOS users have to the point that iOS users will decide to move away from the default set in their OS... and Apple won't be competent enough to compete?

Because that's the only scenario where that happens and it's plausible - the exact scenario we were in with IE6 where Microsoft refused to provide a better browser and keep up with then new and much better Mozilla and later Chrome browsers.

Good product doesn't need monopolist lockdown to be used. If Safari as as good as Apple fans say it is, this massive change won't happen. If Safari sucks, then iOS users are better off with Chrome until someone better comes along. A lot of them will probably choose Firefox though, since it suits them better. Or Brave. Or Vivaldi.

It's called competition and drives towards better products for users. It's incredible how anti-free market some of megacorp fans here are. Outright refusing to allow existence of Firefox and other free browsers on iOS is a much worse take than we've ever seen from likes of Microsoft.
Everyone's adding this, so what makes Microsoft stand out?
asan/ubsan are great for finding language-level undefined behavior.
But apart from some functions like memcpy that asan is hooking, they cannot find library-level undefined behavior such as the pop_back() on the empty vector. (That's an inline function inside a template, there's no way asan could hook this!)

I recommend using `-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS` in addition to `-fsanitize=undefined,address`. This will enable some cheap assertions in libstdc++ that catch stuff like the invalid pop_back() call. In fact it might not be a bad idea to keep these assertions enabled in release builds!
(There is also `-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG` which enables even more assertions, but some of those are expensive)
such apps should not exist. it's a throwback to the old internet explorer days.

After 40 years of dicking around the C21 has an #embed preprocessor feature.

I think which allows you to write stuff like

const char python_script_foo [] =

Would be useful for embedded scripting. Especially for firmware.
The linked article (more interesting than this one IMHO) asks

> Why were they arriving and departing on the same runway when parallels were available?

and it's a good question! If there's more than one runway available, and bad visibility, why make two planes use the same runway so close to one another??

Science is the only news, all the rest is just politics - Stewart Brand

The world of GRB's and the interpretation of such highly energetic phenomena was decidedly speculative just a few decades ago, but increasingly gravitational waves, horizon telescopes etc pin down the fantastic world of general relativity with its spacetime singularities and other oddities as actually... real :-)

Just like quantum mechanics its quite hard to internalize these concepts. I suppose if we can somehow fix "politics" we'll have all the spacetime in the world to work things out.

well, one of the problems could have been detected with "grep atoi source_code_here". any code that uses atoi is almost certainly bad (no error detection), and C++ provides several alternatives.
Also, it did still catch a problem in the second scenario, it just didn't conveniently point to the right line. +1 on _GLIBXCXX_{ASSERTION,DEBUG}.
How exactly? Microsoft has been randomly resetting my default browser back to Edge on every big Windows update. They've thrown Edge on my desktop against my wish. They keep buggering me to change the default back.

And yet, somehow, Chrome is still more popular. So what are those horrible tactics Google uses to brainwash people into using their browsers when both of their major competitors use their own operating systems to either harass or ouright force the use of their browsers for the users?
I can not recall a flight where I was not in a queue to depart, nor an airport where there was not a 90 degree turn onto the runway.

Without ATC I do not know when "cleared to takeoff" is given; it may be given off the runway, pilots spend a minute checking the mirrors and blindspot before turning onto the runway.
How about - hear me out - have an option to enable or disable it? Crazy idea, I know.

(I'm not aiming that comment at you, but rather at developers making software less and less configurable)
It was a good thing to try, but the Southwest plane was above V1 (edit: may not have been, but acted as if they were) and couldn't abort, and didn't. Both planes climbed away from the runway with minimal clearance between them. It was simply luck that they didn't crash anyway.

The fast reaction by the Fedex pilots may have contributed to increased distance between the planes that saved them, but their callout to the Southwest flight didn't fundamentally change anything. Maybe we'll find out that the Southwest flight climbed slower, suspecting the Fedex plane was directly over them. In that case maybe the callout in addition to the Fedex crew being attentive saved the day, but I haven't seen anyone claim that yet.

If the Southwest crew had realized how close the Fedex plane was, maybe they would have aborted even if it meant running off the end of the runway, but they didn't do that.

...

The flightradar replay is terrifying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3cVMUCdxG0

I'm not sure anymore, given the above replay, that the Southwest plane was at V1. The Fedex flight was at least directly over (according to some other transponder-based replay videos), and might have passed the Southwest plane by about a plane length (as shown in the above video), before the Southwest plane had accelerated enough to close the velocity gap. Maybe Fedex waited, but if they radioed the request for Southwest to abort before the planes were overlapping in the horizontal plane, Southwest should have easily been able to stop.

Title had me expecting something akin to window decorations versus seamless free form, web service widgets and integrating browser features with operating system functionality.

Instead this is about bundling default software and manipulating user choices of default software.

Looking at AR/VR and voice agent appliances that debate may be more relevant again, as I don't think anyone even dares to hope for free choice of object/speech recognition providers, app stores, or web browser engines. Now consider more complex systems integrate these, like smart cars or smart homes or smart fridges.
Yes but the primary cause of the Tenerife disaster (a collision on the ground with one 747 taking off and another one crossing the runway) was poor CRM in the cockpit of the departing plane, with bad visibility and multiple incidents as contributing factors.

IIRC, it wasn't caused by the inexperience of the tower controller, or them being distracted, etc.

Their ability to transform things (art, text, whatever) at incredible speeds, means chasing copyright is going to be a game of Whac-A-Mole. Also, what percentage of transformation of copyrighted works is still infringement? A GPT can ingest a 500 word piece of copyrighted text and either summarise it down to 50 words or triple the word count in a stylistically unique manner.
I find it rather concerning how quickly and gleefully some people throw away basic precepts of our civilisation just because they don't like someone. I thought we figured out that individuals should be treated as individuals, and not by any personal attributes they may have, such as family.

Should the parents of Jeffery Dahmer be banned from AirBnB? Or the parents of a convicted murderer or rapist who has since been released? That seems silly.
Germany. To be clear, they have tapes, you're just not allowed to listen in / record legally if the transmission is "not intended for you".
Japan was one of the most advanced countries in the world.

The country has been stagnating for quite a while. South Korea and Taiwan have since eclipsed it by PPP-adjusted metrics per person. (Japanese make higher paper incomes than South Koreans and Taiwanese, but they also generally pay more for imports due to tariffs.)

My off the cuff theory is perhaps their diet is very good, so offsets some of the shortened life expectancy from stress? On the graph of stress vs diet, where being in the top right is the worst for life expectancy, being high on only one might help.

Having said that, I don't know if the average Japanese diet is good. Just postulating a possibility.

Ask HN: Will the government be able to block CBDC transactions of individuals?
I was watching an "interview" conducted by a politician from the UK, Nigel Farage. He was interviewing a cryptocurrency enthusiast about the Bank of England's CBDC(Central Bank Digital Currency) the "Britcoin". In that interview he said that the government would be able to block individuals from using the digital currency and that gives more control to the government on individuals.

Is this a valid point? If yes, then how is it possible with CBDC?

On that page it says that media source was implemented in 2014, on year before Firefox and Edge.

I guess in your world "every other browser" is Chrome. And, sure enough, there are some parts of the API that are only implemented by Chromium-only browsers, and are not implemented by either Safari or Firefox.

So, what other untruths you're going to tell us?

Consider, for example, MBNA in Canada no longer supporting Firefox.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32350109

Is the user, just some ordinary joe who isnt especially technical, going to switch banks to continue using FF or is he going to switch to Chrome and carry on his day? When google search, youtube, maps, and a bunch of third party sites all start recommending Chrome as well, what happens then?

Most websites have financial incentives to only support one browser, if they can get rid of WebKit they will, standards be damned.

"Rather our customers would get into situations where they inadvertently revoked access, the user that authorized the integration initially left the company and it was automatically disabled, etc. and there was no notification that it happened. Basically all of the lifecycle management side that couldn't be automated down to "refresh my token when it's about to expire" sucked. So anything you're looking to support there would be a huge value-add IMO."

I can definitely see value in notifying that API access has been revoked. If you think of any other case you'd like covered, I am interested!
But ... we are ... basically by definition. Vanishing little projects actually need cloud scale infrastructure.

And, to address your previous statement: one beefy server is actually pretty scalable. Soft threads spin up in microseconds to serve incoming requests, communication between threads is blazing fast, caching is simpler on one machine, etc. You don't even have to worry to much about scaling, the CPU just throttles itself when there is no load.

And every once in a while you just upgrade to the next gen beefy machine.
...to go faster.
I'd be curious to know how much it actually improves throughput. It seems strange to use optimistic locks in such a safety critical process, when a more fail-safe approach is available.
It was Debian, with libav. Presumably Ubuntu followed suit, as they tend to.

MS sat on their laurels and allowed everyone else catch up though. Through the living standard all google needs to do is keep Chrome updating at a frantic pace and no one will be able to come close.

Wut? Because I’m aware of how the software world works I’m worried about literally every other professional endeavour. If it works it’s because it’s been refined over many years, or because of duct tape and spit.
That entirely depends on what exactly you implement here, it's entirely possible to implement an AI with continuous & linear properties, meaning that you can extrapolate it's behaviour between a set of inputs with decent accuracy and it won't suddenly change it's behaviour between continuous & linear inputs.

But AI isn't different than existing software systems either. Both will take an input from reality and take actions upon it.
