Libera.ems.host stopped accepting incoming events from matrix.org in many rooms
A heads-up to anyone using the libera IRC network having matrix users via bridge in their channels; was just bitten by that.

Basically, IRC users can't see any messages by matrix users, but the other direction works fine. Might take some time until you realize the other person isn't mad/arrogant/whatever but simply can't hear you.

> the game is particularly uninviting

This is what made games so much more interesting back in the day.

Games that tell you what to do the entire time aren't more "inviting." They just want your time so you'll buy horse armor when they offer it.
Yes, of course. But illicit fent imports aren't a threat to that business—hospitals aren't buying fent from Joey "Slick" Williams on the corner, or mail-ordering it from shady sites based out of Russia. Importing very-cheap asthma medicine and boner pills, however, might affect their business, and the safer & more reliable those imports are perceived to be, the more business on more kinds of drugs they lose, and the more that folks realized how cheap drugs can be, the more support legislation allowing a larger legal import market might gain, and they really don't want that.

[EDIT] Now, fent imports might threaten their ability to sell other opioids to addicts, but my impression is that cash-cow's rather less-lucrative now than it had been, for reasons largely unrelated to fentanyl smuggling.
Hello 2005 GNU/Linux!

Installing random packages to fix OS stuff that should work out of the box was fun for a while :-)
There are a few problems.

First, common C standard library implementations also include POSIX implementations, unnecessarily conflating the two. POSIX does not require `getaddrinfo` to implement DNS over TCP, indeed it doesn't even have to use DNS at all.

Second, many programs rely on the OS-provided DNS when using a more capable library would be a better choice. Then they don't read the documentation for `getaddrinfo`, fail to check the `hints` field returned to see that it's UDP only, and still try to fall back to TCP and return an inevitably confusing error.

POSIX `getaddrinfo` is usually not what you want, but unfortunately it often works well enough that you don't notice until someone tries to run your program on a different OS.
Creating AppleIDs for your kids through Family Sharing and using those AppleIDs on those devices would solve this. You as organizer can view and manage all devices; all purchases are paid through your account (but are tied to the purchaser), and you can set restrictions and require permissions for many activities (including in-app purchases). Plus, all the bluetooth devices remain per-user. And it keeps your stuff out of their stuff and vice versa (though selected items can be shared).

I would think that, in typical use cases, the number of substitutions to make is fairly small.

Wouldn’t it be easier to track of where the to-be-substituted patterns are in the document?
Selling developer tools to corporate managers is an interesting idea let's see how it works out. Reminds me of Rational/IBM.
> I usually find myself wishing I could have some macro where I just write in C and have it exposed as an unsafe back in Rust.

In D you can just import a .c file mycfile.c with:

import mycfile; // C file filled with C functions

and they'll be treated as @system code by the D semantics. They're even inlinable.
I mean, if you're hell bent on not educating yourself, I don't think there's much more I can do to help you.

Nonetheless, here's a twitter thread I made with a bunch of examples of big, well known sites that use programmatic SEO. Which of these sites are spam?
https://twitter.com/allison_seboldt/status/16195138347790499...

"This strategy targets keywords that aren't served well by human written content."

One example I often use is nutritional information. We don't need in-depth, 1200 word articles for how many calories, carbs, protein, etc. there are in every food and drink item out there. Plus, there are billions of them. So it's not even feasible to create human written, long-form articles for every item. Websites use templates to plugin in nutritional information into webpages, and Google picks it up. That's programmatic SEO. It's applicable to lots of situations, and we consume tons of it every day.

If you can't see even a single legitimate use case for this strategy after all the resources and details I've provided, I just have to assume you're looking for people to argue with. Not worth my energy, sorry dude.
Definitely should be an os-level feature to disable all that, similar to using panic mode on ios to disable biometrics.

I personally boot my laptops to the filevault screen and no further when going through the security checkpoints. Keeps the disk encrypted and requires my password to continue.
I have 3 phones, my primary phone and a couple of older phones. The older phones are not connected to the internet.

I always register new authenticator accounts on all 3 of them.
I've seen it done with the Pico, where it acts as a midi device when plugged in to a host machine; not so sure about the main boards.
>There are endless debates online about Rust vs. Zig

I have never read anything that suggest or argued Zig as better than Rust, or "Rust vs Zig". Not on HN, not on Reddit, not on Twitter. In fact this link / title is the first one. ( I do wish the title was "Unsafe Rust" to better reflect on the content. )

There are however plenty who still prefer Zig over Rust, even knowing when Rust is better.

I also want to note RESF generally does not consider "unsafe" Rust to be Rust.

Edit: LOL I knew this would be heavily downvoted.
It’s downvoted because it’s a straw man, the linked article isn’t suggesting there was a single root cause.
>Officials who have reviewed the intelligence said they believed the saboteurs were most likely Ukrainian or Russian nationals, or some combination of the two.

Early in the war a Russian ex-Gazprom oligarch defected to the Ukrainian side where he funds the "Freedom of Russia Legion", a group of Russian nationals fighting on the Ukrainian side.
Here's some background: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64871183.amp

In the comments here so far, we see a pattern we've seen before. When someone suggests doing something in SQL, there's a lot of concern about SQL being a very limited programming language where it's hard to do proper engineering.

Here's I would really love to know: why is it that SQL is, to first order, the only language used to interact with databases, and SQL has about the same features as it did in the 70s? It seems analogous to if the general-purpose programming world stopped with C.
Check out APL and Futhark. There are some nice examples of ANNs implemented in J and APL[1]. I am currently studying hardware efforts for neuromorhic systems. The array model is great, but when running on von Neumann architectures you lose execution potential. J was an inspiration for Pandas written by Wes McKinney. It is column-based vs. Numpy's row-based model.

From what I understand the lithium bottleneck seems similar to the lumber bottleneck in 2021. It's not the lack of trees but the lack of processing facilities.

But instead of lack of workers or technical know-how it's the pollution produced.

Rural folk are already a relatively small portion of the population in developed countries (<15% in the US) and that trend will only continue. We should be optimizing for the areas where the vast majority of people live, and where car-free lifestyles are absolutely feasible with proper infrastructure.
Go one step further; what are the metrics trying to measure? Who set those metrics and why? What are the smallest number of actions needed to deliver value to the folks who provide revenue to the company?

Effective developers know the answers to those questions. What else they do is quite varied, and some effective developers care about things like "should we use lodash or not?" But other effective developers don't.

I didn't say "only successful people" do anything. What I said was you don't have to care about how lodash works or be concerned about importing it vs. rolling your own to be an effective developer.
> Elon is such an easy target.

A richly deserving target, too.
I don’t think those are connected…or at least it would be silly for that to be the case. Say your laptop was stolen when your BT was off for some random reason - does that mean you won’t be able to find it?
I would probably just copy the implementation from lodash or stackoverflow and fix it up.
Wait, the benchmark to find the 35th fibonacci number took 1.077s for the Zig VM vs 1.657s for the Rust VM?

I realise that these VMs are going to be totally idiomatic Zig/Rust, with the most straightforward implementation possible, and little-to-no performance tuning, but even so - that's gotta be a typo, right? Or it's actually finding `fib(350)`? Or each "run" is actually finding `fib(35)` 100 (1000?) times?
How about palm sugar? Or dates?

I hear you that artificial sweeteners taste surprisingly good but I love natural sweetners and if I want to taste sweetness I love whole dates.
A lot of this debate is really just a city / country debate. I completely agree with regard to the city. A reduction in cars is nearly an unalloyed good. For the country, there really aren’t so many alternatives.
I really don't think its that hard to make mixed zoning or exclusionary zoning work in terms of UI. A list where you can hit check boxes or not is most of what you need.

> Parking works.

Parking aren't even in the base game, and yeah you can add lots of mods I think overall the dynamics about parking, induced demand and traffic isn't that great.

> Bus routes can be complex, but real world ones are also complex. I’m not sure how this could be better handled.

Yeah I don't want my game to be as hard to manage as the real world.

It could be significantly easier to draw routes, modify them after you created it. The UI around that stuff I found really hard to work with.

It just feels like much more thought was put into car traffic then any of the others. The game could suggest service patterns to make it easier to get started. Give you good visualizations of where the routes are, make it easy to modify them.

I just found the whole experience of trying to make public transit work frustrating and to time consuming.
I really do hate Discord and other types of chat-oriented help and forums. Mailing lists are still the gold standard, IMHO. It's super easy to keep updated, works with any computer, etc. And most importantly you're not using somebody else's server.

Reading the post makes me want to believe this is possible but I cannot for the life of me, imagine it. I feel like for a product like this to exist, it has to 1) have a ton of resources into smoothing the experience between cloud provider APIs or/and 2) make some high level abstractions that are far from optimized (from a resource or $ perspective).

I'd love to see some examples or case studies showing the potential for something like this.
My grandfather a few years back passed a rather profound point in his life - he had been retired so long that he officially spent less of his life not working than working (despite entering the workforce at 15).

And it's not lost on me I am essentially doing double work: it's not enough for me to generate enough economic value for myself, society kind of depends on me to generate enough surplus value to cover an entire life's worth of labor (Or more! After all I started much later than my grandfather).

In a way, when Keynes predicted that everyone in the future would work a 20 hour workweek, he was right! He just didn't appreciate how much we would use those productivity gains to backfill that vacation time later in life.
The response was specifically about housing costs. Nothing at all to do with other negative or positive externalities.
Yeah that's gotta be the one.
If someone on my team imports Lodash and uses it all over the place to significantly reduce our LoC, fine by me. What makes it annoying is when someone adds that whole dep just to use it once, or for something ES6 already has (e.g. map). Same with Axios instead of fetch.

I am not able to disable WiFi from the login screen.

I think it would be a horrendous decision to allow random people to do this.
The important piece here is context, as it always it. One example - i grew up eating bread that used no sugar or very little sugar. North American bread tastes too close to cake. Many North Americans don’t share my opinion because their baseline is different.

Almost all food is a combination of flavours and it is not easy to spot added sugar. The idea of « sweet » is a lot more difficult to use in the real world.

When a single running stitch gets damaged, the entire bundle can come undone. Spot ties are failure independent.

Using lacing instead of zipties means there are no sharp cut-off ends sticking out to tear up your hands. Zipties can pinch and damage insulation, especially when installed with a tensioning gun.
That is actually one aspect where I agree with Discord : free hosting isn't free !

> You are anti-diverse since you are hostile to desktop users.

Huh? Signal desktop has all the features of the phone, as far as I can tell.

Very strange definition of diversity!

> Also, you are pro-harassment because you teach people that no doesn't mean no; I say no to donating and you keep asking me.

If this is what you call harassment, count yourself lucky in life. :)
You're right, I did not phrase that properly. See my response to afpx.

Of course people retire, take days off, etc. I simply stated how I feel. Plenty of voice chats have left me with the impression that kids and "lazy bums" really do make up the majority during business hours, at least in the games I play - RTS and FPS
This is why people who argue that Signal should use usernames and passwords rather than phone numbers for authentication really don’t understand how important UX is for privacy.
1) There is no evidence for that.

2) If thinking Russia did it, it's irrational to blow up one's own money-making infrastructure.

3) If thinking it's a separatist group, it's not a reasonable idea. The technology, tactics, and scale of committing that with a Russian separatist budget without anyone finding out is hard to imagine. It'd be far easier, I imagine, to try to just shoot/grenade Putin than do that.
Postgres has read write parallism that can scale across millions of read writes ; if ml model is inherent in the Postgres db it is indeed very elegant reminds me of the glory days of tsearch2 to do text search in Postgres for searching our internal document repository using nothing but Postgres and boy was it faster than Java based search systems
I do not think this is as simple as you believe it is. Would the average user not find this really confusing?

You plug your laptop into your dock and close it, and suddenly your AirPods stop working, even though the rest of the computer works fine?
The `slice.ptr` version is allowed in D, but `&slice[0]` is preferred because that comes with a check that the slice has a non-zero length and the pointer will actually point to something valid. That's why the former is allowed in @system code, and the latter is used in @safe code.
Good catch, that is correct. Thank you

While there are lots of obstacles yes I suspect there will be quite a lot of money long term. From my perspective we're in the very early innings of another electricity like revolution. With images you get things like Hollywood being replaced[0] but the much bigger gains come from the seemingly endless list of tasks that these models can approach solving. I feel like I see a new groundbreaking application several times per week at this point[1].

With all that said I'm sure lots of startups will blow up and make no money too. While the overall wave seems very valuable to me, it's hard to predict what will be the Google and what will be the Webvan.

Can we just all agree for like, five minutes, that Apple probably has not decided that making peanuts on certification of licensed cables is worth aggravating the customer base of the product responsible for the lion’s share of their revenue and profits?

Even if this rumor ends up being true, surely we can agree there’s at least a plausibly defensible business case to be made here.
If I were a regulator, I would try to directly link foods to health outcomes.

Ie. If someone eats lots of bigmacs and then dies young, mcdonalds should have to pay a 'killer food' penalty.

If someone eats lots of apples and lives to 100, then the apple farmer should receive some kind of reward.

I would implement this by having some subset of the population volunteer their purchase data and health data, and have the regulator issue rewards and fines each year based on which food producers managed to make/keep their customers healthiest.

The end result should be that healthy foods are both profitable and cheap, and there is an incentive to reformulate foods to keep the eaters healthier.

That entirely bypasses the current problem of having food manufacturers trying to make their food look healthy while it actually isn't.
Try ping "zackoverflow.dev" and "cname.vercel-dns.com". If only the former times out, it's possible your local ISP is blocking Vercel's IP. If that's the case, you could contact Vercel support to help assist.
I'm a bit worried about creation of a loophole similar to emission and safety exemptions for "light trucks" in the US that made SUVs and pick-up trucks explode in popularity. A common-sense exemption for actual work tools ended up making it most profitable to promote and sell ridiculously oversized cars to everyone. In the end it backfired on both safety and emissions overall.

An exemption for sports cars could similarly be abused and backfire if people who would prefer to continue driving their 4-cylinder cars will have only V12 as the only option.
click-bite title should be edited to reflect this.

Plenty of people that make the world we live in are not dicks. This take is very reductive towards all those people while overmagnifying Elon’s personal role in his companies’ successes.

As an example, Iceland’s 2022 person of the year also founded an agency that was hugely influential for tech messaging and branding over the last few years, and he has a reputation as being a really great guy.
I wish I could get one without my phone number, but it is a way to control spamming and limit people to one signal, and to find each other. But I don't think they are anti-diverse, that is an extreme over-reach. They have desktop signal for all 3 major desktops and it works just fine by all reports. The only thing they don't have is the ability to have it on 2 phones at one time. If you think signal is pro-harassment then the entire world is pro-harassment by your standard, that's a very silly claim.

But we don't need a one-size-fits-all solution. If the 80%(?) (and steadily but surely rising) part of the population that lives in urban areas in developed nations switch to public transportation, cargo bikes, the occasional car-for-hire use, and whatnot, it makes the problem of scaling up EV battery production, synthetic fuel production, or CO2 release from using fossil fuels for the remaining 20% that much easier.
> I understand that some drugs sold overseas are not suitable for human consumption

Frankly, a lot of FDA-approved drugs sold in the US aren't suitable for consumption, especially generics manufactured outside the US. The FDA simply doesn't have the resources to enforce good manufacturing practices and product consistency, so a lot of subpar medication manages to slip under the radar and into the US market. The situation is much more grim for non-US buyers, who often get products of significantly worse quality.

'Bottle of Lies' by Katherine Eban[1] provides a thorough and very unsettling exposé on the issue.

Good luck installing it and getting it to work
Yes and the infrastructure to target people individually exists, as noted with the political shenanigans that took place getting Trump into office and the UK to vote for Brexit. Just remember with Brexit, Scots were polled first to see if they wanted indepdence at a time when they thought it would not be possible to get the UK to leave the EU, so they didnt vote for independence. Brexit occurred, and now the Scots want independence in order to rejoing the EU.

The timing of questions asked are important, as any court room lawyer will know, especially if the defendants answer can be later associated and used against them.

The fact this situation is allowed to exist in the hands of unaccountable people and entities namely businesses, is arguably illegal if the laws were to exist against targeted advertising, but we all know big business would b.e against this.

TLDR targeted advertising is a way to psychologically hound people into suicide. Its a murder weapon exploiting the needs of business to be efficient with their advertising spend.

The criminal perpetrators rely on their victims keeping quiet because no one wants to be humiliated, in much the same way if your parents were wrong 'uns they rely on that parental bond to keep you quiet.
