Yes, please mr I-Only-Speak-English, enlighten us. /s

While this is a really fun theoretical attack, has this ever been encountered? A such patch would have to go trough a diff anyway before being accepted. And certainly a "comment" that looks like code has a high chance of getting rejected?

Does it make sense to restrict this feature (that is useful to everyone in the world, except those who only speak English) on account of a very theoretical risk?

> Next to those additional risks it also limits discoverability if `fiancee` now is written as `fiancée`

Just in Italy, it can be written as: fidanzata, zita, morosa, ragazza, picciotta. Certainly the accent isn't the main problem here? Do you want to eliminate all synonyms? All languages other than English?

> I couldn't type it on my QWERTY.

Have you encountered this situation often? If so, just remap your keyboard.

I, for example, have a "w" key that is mostly used in shooter games, since the letter doesn't appear in my language.

> And yes, I know that there are codebases which are non-English, and not even Latin. Those are very valid concerns to which I admittedly have no answer to.

Perhaps allowing unicode in source files could be a solution.

I don’t know about the world or HN, but what I personally experience is that I am loosing touch with my few very close friends. Way too often our conversations end up in politically related debates and it negatively affects relationships. The only way to stay out of it, is to not talk about current happenings at all, because as soon as somehow recent events or news surface, it almost inadvertently leads to politics, but its very difficult to be close friends with someone and yet never talk about things the surround us on a day to day basis. It is almost as if language itself became embedded with political narrative.
Dunno that seems pretty nuts to me. I live in Australia: known to have one of the most unaffordable and bonkers property markets in the world, and I live 1.5km from the centre of Brisbanes CBD, and pay $2800 for a 3/2/2 townhouse with a backyard…

The commonly held belief currently seems to be that you can't beat the markets. I've found this too narrow-minded. True, you can hardly beat the markets in their own game, but you can find a game where you're the one with the information advantage.

I get it that ergonomics is a big deal to folks, but every laptop will have its downsides. I find that people place way too much importance on the lack of physical trackpad buttons. The alternative is the XPS 13 Plus, which has not only capacitive trackpad buttons, but also capacitive Fn row, so IMO much worse.

In my mind, the Gen 1 had other downsides, which I hope Gen 2 solved: no support for 2280 SSDs, no support for 5G modem (and the LTE was quickly sold out) etc.

For folks who want a powerful ultrabook and don't want OSX on the MBA w/ M2, this is the best option. Gen 1 had amazing OOBE support for Linux at launch, which is something the XPS 13 Plus couldn't claim. Dell users are still struggling with webcam support, AFAIK: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=277462&p=4
I don't know about HTML specifically; I meant spans as a general concept rather than a literal <span> tag. If the web stack has actually implemented mixing languages on the same page to the point where you can use it in a "normal" application then that's very cool (and if they've done it with their lang tags rather than by allowing mixed encodings, well, fine), but I've yet to see a site that actually has that up and running.
You really need a lockfile for reproducible builds. pnpm's lockfiles are not compatible with npm's.
Hmm, I’ve been studying Japanese on Duolingo for a few weeks now, and that doesn’t match my experience at all -- plenty of rice and water, yes, but also fairly complex (though formulaic) sentences like “it’s 10:30 right now”, “how many windows are in the room?”, “she has three older sisters”, early in the second lesson block. The gamification is incredibly heavy-handed but I must admit it’s succeeding in getting me to use it a couple of times a day.

Edit to add: there’s a ton of repetition, if that’s what you mean, but that’s how you learn! Spaced repetition.

My main complaint is that it doesn’t seem to take complexity into account at all in the timed review sessions. You’ll get exactly the same amount of time for basic words like “dog”, “cat”, “red”, “blue” as for long sentences like “Professor Tanaka speaks English and Japanese”.

I can talk about webdev part, dunno about other areas.

When I started, I built simple utilities with just HTML/CSS & JavaScript. When I had a solid understanding of these three, then I dove into frameworks and complex stuff.

Here are some ideas

- Calculator, could be command-line or in a website

- To-do app

- A pomodoro timer

- static webpage (with just HTML/CSS), then learn about accessibility, responsive design, design system.

- REST API with node (e.g. Express js)

- Consume public APIs in JS frontend (or you can use React too)

- Building a full stack app with your CRUD API, can also add auth, image CDN etc

Basically, gradually raising the complexity with every project or within it by adding a new feature

I recently wrote about building projects as beginner (even more ideas here) : https://mnsh.me/blog/beginner-ideas

Good luck!

Your own link shows that both Shift-JIS and EUC-JP are on an upward trend, which isn't what we'd expect if Unicode was succeeding. I can't see it listing examples of .jp sites using UTF-8; would be interesting to see how many of them are relying on text-as-images.
Comparative simplicity requires you to accurately imagine the entire lifecycle of each alternative.

This is a lot of work. And your prediction can end up wrong anyway (by your mistake or by the world changing).

How are we then to make choices? Perhaps just, if one solution seems clearly simpler (to you), then choose that. If one looks unnecessarily complex, don't choose that.

Simpl-est derails us perfectionist programmers. So maybe "Do the simpler thing that can possibly work"

EDIT "Could possibly work" also implies a lack of foreknowledge as to its actual simplicity, or whether it will function correctly... or at all.

This problem feels like a no runtime type problem. Highly dynamic languages have tonnes of grim problems like this, that they have to deal with because there is no good type information anywhere so stats at runtime is how you optimise. Raku for example has a lot of specialising runtime optimisations where all the virtual function calls get specialised and become dynamic by exception when the VM executes code.

Ask HN: Coming from a non-CS field into machine learning research?
There are many grad students who have done their bachelor's degree in a field that is not computer science. But in grad school they are doing fantastic research work in the field of machine learning or deep learning. Not only in grad school but in R&D labs, too.

If you are someone like that what made you choose that path? I presume you had to self teach a lot of things during the switch e.g: programming, more math?

When at University in Germany, I was shocked by the lack of social mobility caused by the “decision” as early as age 10 / 4th grade to put students in different types of schools.

And, being the teacher’s decision, it opens the door to all kind of nasty biases.
Most gymnasium-going Germans were absolutely unaware of the undermining of the “social elevator” role of state schools.

More fun facts on German schools: psychical education classes are gender separated on the onset of puberty, and there are still state female-only secondary schools.

One can argument that gamification and marketing destroy the society. Marketing specially.
Sure, I think I understand. The claim is maybe that it's legal for LLVM to emit code that (before every pointer access to a pointer obtained from outside of LLVM) somehow checks whether the pointer points to a region of memory that was actually allocated outside of LLVM and does different stuff based on the result of that check. In the face of such adversarial codegen on the part of LLVM, if someone wanted to implement this correctly on Linux, they might need to make sure they actually mapped the pages they wanted to use for crashing with PROT_NONE before using any pointers pointing into the crashing region. Is that right?

Do the docs actually define exactly which mechanisms external to LLVM count as allocating address ranges and which do not? It's possible that calling mmap and passing PROT_NONE does not count, for example.
I am not an Open Source developer that needs funding.

I just created a business, an LLC, to develop my software. I did this on purpose so that companies would have an entity to send money to if they use my software.

I've heard that developers and managers at companies do want to give money to FOSS projects, but sending money to an individual is fraught with peril. Sending money to another company that can generate invoices and give some services? Much easier to justify.

If possible, I suggest developers of popular FOSS projects do this. If you include my search for a good bank, I've spent probably 20 hours doing this. (I used lawyers as well, but that's not required.) Spending 20 hours to have some way to receive money may be worth it.

One point that answer brings up that I hadn't thought of: older flipphones would have good shift-JIS support but not necessarily good unicode support

My guess is that "text as images" might partly be that, partly what you are saying in a legacy sense, and also partly for the same reason old sites in the US would do that: to make something look the way you want and you already have a photoshop render

Try using av1an to parallelize (and improve the quality of) your encode. And TBH you should not re encode your library unless it has raw rips or something like that, and you are short on space.
Yeah, as an iPhone Signal user, the concept that you'd ever use want to use it for anything other than explicitly encrypted messaging never even occurred to me. I learned about this feature that the Android version had when they announced it would be discontinued. I would even consider the "graceful" fall back to SMS to be potentially an anti-feature/security flaw, as it opens you up to downgrade attacks.
Is the opposite disallowed in the US? In Germany, we have plenty of housing coops and state run builders that e.g. discriminate against single (young?) men. I've tried half a dozen of these not-for-profit entities before I found one that said "we don't care who you are. If you want to live here and you can pay the rent, we're fine with it".

The "no discrimination allowed" is often just "no discrimination allowed that we don't approve of".

Founder of https://www.plivo.com here. We have seen similar patterns of fraud on our customers primarily in the international markets, outside the US & Canada. It typically happens on repeating number ranges that are sometimes not even in service. MaxPrice approach did not work well based on our experience as this would lead to just blocking certain destinations completely. Alternatively, what we found better was have a geo permissions related options where customers could block destinations that are never used at a network level and additionally introduce rate limits for those networks, so its not open to an attack.

Again, I've seen no evidence that this is a thing that it is possible to do.
Sure, I get it. However, as a person with a disability, I can tell you one thing for sure: I much prefer knowing that someone doesnt want me. Imagine someone was forced by law to take you as a customer, but doesn't like you at all. Can you imagine how you are going to be treated? Doy ou really think insisting does improve things? I very much doubt that. I very much prefer living somewhere where there is no hate towards me.

So, given that personal observation, I really ask myself: What good does it do to force people to cooperate with humans they dont like?

> Travelling with an unrestrained dog in a car is pretty reckless (and maybe illegal).

There's pro's and con's for this.

Firstly the dog could be in the front passenger seat in a harness and restrained which doesnt use the seatbelts, so the pressure sensor in the seat/base of the chair that detects weight, and a seat belt clip not inserted into the seat belt harness could trigger these cars's safety systems.

Considering some cars can also let you switch off the passenger airbag and these are generally on by default with the manual override switch located in a variety of places, it might be simpler to have these options and questions built into these OLED displays which the driver has to run through, much like a pilot running through a series of checks before take off.

> Travelling with an unrestrained dog in a car is pretty reckless (and maybe illegal).
When dogs (and cats) are unrestrained, whilst illegal in many countries, in vehicle crashes, their faster reaction times which is faster than snakes hence why they were domesticated, mean they more often than not escape unharmed.

As to being a projectile, again generally not if they are laying down inside the vehicle, but when they have their heads out of windows for Youtube views, the risk is increased.

However if projectile risk is an issue, why dont people use cargo netting to strap down their mobile phones, laptops, briefcases, handbags inside a vehicle when on the daily commute?

Yout cant film inside a car using Go Pro's on a race track unless the camera is attached to a surface like the inside of the windscreen with two suction pads.

Yet ironically, if you are a proper VIP being chauffeured around, you'll often get told not to wear your seatbelt as these can restrain you in place in the event of an attack and the bodyguards like to get you out of the vehicle quickly... Although I see that as a mixed message considering only the bodyguard was wearing a seatbelt when Princess Diana and Dodi died in their car crash and according to someone friends with the bodyguard, MI6 told him to get them to take the route that night which was different to their normal route. Stranger Things!
