I've been on Hacker News for several years now, and I'm often surprised about the amount of content on stuttering that ends up on the front page. Being a stutterer myself, I find it nice that the community upvotes such content.

On a separate note, I wonder how many stutterers end up as software engineers or similar technology related work and as a corollary, how many people on Hacker News are stutterers. It would make sense that there would be quite a few; it's a vocation similar to writing, with a large amount of time spent not talking. It's also lucky that software engineering has an outsized impact in this day and age, so stutterers might actually do quite well!
Queues also enable "easy" batching of jobs. (For a very limited set of problems)

> The average gets pulled out of proportion by outliers

This places a value judgment on the mean not being close to the median
That isn't actually true.

The primary benefit of the actor model is isolating/encapsulating resources and providing a safe interface to access them.

If you take an object in OOP and just throw locks around every single method you will be in a world of pain because you not only have to worry about potential resource leakage slipping past the lock, you also have to worry about the fact that you have now mixed up both the concurrent and internal non concurrent interface into one thing. If one of your synchronized public methods calls another public synchronized methods then you straight up run into a deadlock. So now you have to create an extra synchronized wrapper class that either conforms to the interface or works more like a Rust Mutex where you have to acquire the lock before you can access it's contents.

In an actor model both isolation and concurrent interface come out of the box out of the architecture. Pre-emption is just a cherry on top. If Java gets loom (green threads) then the actor library can just migrate to that with immediate performance benefits.
> it strikes me as totally realistic to have a book with primarily or only queer characters

It doesn’t strike me as realistic at all. Queer people need to be able to deal with heteronormative people as much as the reverse.

Otherwise you’re just self selecting into ghettos. I don’t think it can really be avoided, but to present it as desirable strikes me as wrong.
I partly agree with you, but I also think that using debugger/stepping through code/test manually will take longer times in most cases. And it's time wasted that does not produce anything "permanent" - unlike tests.
At first I read this as “catch your own types” and thought it was going to be a bit on exception handling. Kind of ironic.
This is due to massive, shaping French influence on the EU.

There are many relatively market-friendly nations in the EU, especially in the eastern half, but the EU is mostly an extension of the French model and without the British, it really started leaning heavily into the protectionist bureaucratic model. The UK acted as a brake of sorts on those tendencies and its influence is sorely missed, at least by people like me. (Certainly the bureaucrats rejoice.)

It's pretty niche, but as a Linux phone user I can see the appeal: with a device like this I can totally get rid of a standalone laptop.

For situations where you can easily connect 3 peripherals to create a desktop experience, indeed, this is inferior. But it's exactly the in-between situations - sitting on the couch but want to be slightly more productive than using an on-screen keyboard - that I think something like this would shine. But again, admittedly, niche.

Right now I use a separate, old Linux laptop and SSH to my Linux phone to emulate the above, but that feels wrong somehow, and requires me to keep multiple devices in sync, connected to WiFi or Tailscale, etc.
On my trip to Toyko, I once saw a salary man bowing on the street to who I assume was his boss. Even if you remove my Western way of thinking, I couldn't kiss ass like that if my life depends on it!

Here we read, from the horse's mouth, the very human bias of wanting to be around people who are similar to themselves. In the effort to increase diversity, we only increase xenophobia.

This as incredibly uncharitable take on the parent post.

A charitable take on the parent post would be to assume that the parent poster does not wants to not be surrounded by a mono-culture of non-trans people. Because that's what people mean 99% of the time when they say things like that.

> Now the reader is being denied the chance to see how the author wrote and talked straight from their writings

I don't agree. These version are obviously new and not the original. Changes are often made to books in newer versions. Most people who are used to reading books will know that.

> It's immoral to sanitise the past for children and lead them to believe that we've always had today's moralities figured out, to children unaware of the edits, they're being deprived of the fact that society evolves and fights and works these things out.

Or the children will like the new versions better because they are not being mocked by them. No one is taking from them the option to go back and read the original books if they, or their parents, are curious.

> If they're unaware that society can update it's morals (because some nitwit decided to slyly change language in a book in a way that's not transparent), maybe they'll think they don't have the power to change anything themselves.

This seems very contrived to me. You are expecting children to read these books, ask why the moral is different, then have their parents tell them that the world changes, or derive that themselves? I think there are so many other, and more obvious, ways that children will naturally learn that lesson.
> If manufacturers were truly making chicken stock “just like your grandma did,” it would be highly perishable, incredibly expensive, and shelf-unstable.

I wonder why grandma's chicken stock would not be shelf-stable using old or modern food-preservation techniques.
You said:

the educated left [...] what they're initiating with this trend of rewriting classic literature.

ie. You literally stated that "the educated left" are "initiating [...] this trend of rewriting"

I'd counter by pointing out the vast bulk of "the educated left" are either indifferent or opposed to silent rewrites and I'd also point out that the rewriting of classics goes back a lot further in history than any recent events and that conservatives and religuous folk are just as guilty as any "educated left".

As I said, your comment painted a broad ideological brush that appears to be mostly incorrect.

IM doesn't come with proper color profiles. You have to specify every single thing. It's apparent when converting between CMYK RGB and other color spaces. You probably know this, but you fail to acknowledge it.

The fact that you do advanced color management and like the complete control means you actually work with it and understand it. You'll have all the different profiles you need.

Most people don't, and for them it's a huge hassle, and for most it's like black magic(k).
Indeed (I mentioned reflection above). It only affects the trimming though - you still get (larger) standalone builds that need no framework installed.
Yep, it's actually what we were taught in high school.

Still, sometimes recognizing duplicate words points out some bad/imprecise wording where you're repeating yourself and may not like that.

I find myself using the "edit" feature on comments online a decent amount to catch/add things I only found when reading it back in complete form.

It would seem more natural to map VRAM to a block device, using nbdkit. Then you could create a regular filesystem like ext4 on top. Is there a specific reason why writing an esoteric FUSE filesystem is better?

Ask HN: Cross-platform open-source app for meetups with existing friends?
I'm currently reading Stolen Focus by Johann Hari and it mentions "What if Facebook had a button to indicate you were open to meeting up with some friends today/this week, and matched you with your other friends that indicated the same?".

I'd be very interested in a no-frills app that provided this functionality in some form - no-frills as in no advertising, no incentive to keep me looking at the app other than for the stated functionality, no chat functionality (I already have ways to message people), no monetisation. Maybe some tools for geolocation since I have friends in different cities.

I'm a bit introverted, and so often go long stretches of time forgetting to reach out to people to organise things - feels like this would be a tool to broadcast "I'd like to meet-up this week if anyone else would!" to reduce that which would otherwise need to be 1:1 messages to individual friends/groups.

I tried searching the Play store and google for similar functionality, but all I kept coming across were apps for finding/meeting new friends, generally all run by for-profit companies.

It's something I'd be interested in creating, but would rather just use if it already exists. Would appreciate if the HN hive-mind can pull something out of the haystack?
Unless you are arguing that we are building known oil reserves faster than we are using oil, you are nitpicking details of the comment.
I actually have the opposite feeling.

I have used quite a few low-end scopes at work, a new Siglent, Agilent DSO7034A, Tek DPO3054, some Tek TBS2000, some RS RTB2 and Keysight 3034T. I prefer the RS if my boss is paying for it, but there isn't too much to complain about the Siglent.

The DSO7000 series (and those other VxWorks infiniums) are the direct successor of 546xx, it always work and it's nice to have a few Mpts of memory. But the feature set is quite limited, no intensity grading display and the FFT looks so poor compared with more modern scopes. I'd be happy to replace that DSO7034A on our bench with a Siglent.

The KS3000T also have a laughably slow UI. The touch screen is supposed to make cursor measurements easier, but it doesn't. If one VNC to it (yes, running Windows CE), one can get miserably 1 fps.
> delusions of someone who hypnotized themselves into their current worldview.

I can understand what the other person is getting at. I literally just said I would like the book and my friends are actually like that, and you have to say I’m deluded? You’re not having this conversation in good faith. We are in fact having a conversation but you’ve imagined it’s something else and you’ve admitted from the outset you’re not taking me seriously.

When the person says “being this way” that’s what they’re talking about. You’re not treating me with basic respect. And to be honest I suspect the reason is that I’ve said I’m trans. Otherwise I can’t imagine why you decided I should be immediately dismissed.

EDIT: You know a major point you’ve tried to make is that I should be ashamed for wanting to hang out with trans people. But at the same time you’ve admitted that you’re not willing to treat me with basic respect. All you’ve done is concisely demonstrate why someone like me would want to hang out with people that get me. I don’t want to have to live my life constantly explaining myself to people who refuse to respect me on the basis for who I am. You’re exactly the kind of person I don’t want to associate with.

The language models have been around for many years now, if they would go to being superhuman very quickly they would already be there. We are already in the right side of the S curve, many big companies have made similar language models and they all end up at similar performance levels with respect to coding, language, answering questions etc. We will see improvements but they will be very incremental, like GPT-3 to ChatGPT was barely noticeable and took years. Extrapolating that and we will get language models that can be moderately helpful to a human professional, but they wont be good enough to automate much at all.

For the AI hype to pay off we would need all this buzz and activity to result in another new revolution similar to transformers. But without it it will go the same way as self driving cars, barely being good enough to do stuff, but with tons of works and checks it might lead to some automation at scale that could threaten jobs in a decade.
In case you don't realize it, your behavior in this thread is patronizing (telling people how they should behave), degrading (not directly talking to the commenter), and from a clear place of closed-mindedness (writing as if teaching truths to an AI, not discussing).

Your lack of empathy makes me assume you haven't been through similar experiences as the commenter you're "replying", either because you're not visibly far off "normal", or lucky enough to have grown up in an environment which was supportive of you.

Any case, the earlier commenter is not assuming cis people are terrible and transphobic and whatever. It is a matter of trust and risk. You can generally trust other LGBT people to be accepting since they've been through the same problems as you, and of course, because they share the same differences.

So it makes sense to group together, it's safer in groups, and sometimes mentally healthier than falling in to a pit of depression feeling forced to behave or a appear a different way to how you want to.

You'll be making constant calculations on whether it's safe to show public displays of affection with your partner, or simply appear an act like you want to.
The fears are exaggerated of course (we are all creatures of caution), but not unfounded, depending on where you live.

So yes, short-term, it's nice to escape to a place where you don't have to do that. Long-term, it's healthier to not autosegregate, both for the queer and non-queer person. It helps normalise things. But I won't put that on every queer person, to each their own.
Queues should absolutely not be empty. If they are often empty, you're over provisioning your consumers. There is an ideal size to a queue, based on the balance equation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_equation). Also study queueing theory if you want to know more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory.
It's difficult to tell whether this is a stage or a permanent feature in media.

Look at black representation - there was a time where they would either be black stereotypes or just be normal characters with black actors but no reference to it in the story. (Eg the token black having a suburban house, with no black friends, surrounded by other white people). Probably, the actor was black but everybody involved in writing and producing the film was white. Or not interested in listening to their black colleagues, or thinking that the film is made "for white people" therefore doesn't need to include any black representation besides having a black actor.

Nowadays we have things like Modern Family, Black-ish, which actually incorporate diversity into the characters without being offensive. Obviously the shows still get criticised, but part of the reason they do better is that there is more diversity in the industry and network's views on what the public want have moved forwards.

Maybe, the same shift will happen for LGBTQ+ characters.
> The service area of Mini FM is very limited only in 100-500 meter radius.

Post-Covid, work from home, internet deliveries the trend is arguably things have to distribute to people now rather than people distribute to things.

FM radios have all but gone from modern cellphones and vanishingly few people are carrying around discrete ones. BT serves this physically local radio purpose now and is pretty much everyone has it on their person.

So it might have had a past but it doesn't seem to have a future.
No, it simply says there’s a chance. That is what this whole subthread was about, and you argued against it for some inexplicable reason. But now I see you even edited your original comment to say you misunderstood, so I’m thinking you are just arguing for the sake of it.

AFAIK no processor is hand drawn anymore, even the infividual logic cells. Everything is synthetised. Then the transistor count is useless. Is like counting lines of code to assess productivity.
