Prolog DCGs have pitfalls that aren’t immediately evident to someone only familiar with BNF, mainly that you have to specify your grammar in Greibach normal form (every nonterminal production starts with a terminal) to get any sort of performance out of them.

I really hope this does not affect their current mode of operation. The reason I bought my Yubikeys in the first place were the one off purchase cost and the promise that the keys would do their job without me having to interact with Yubico from that point onwards. This has worked great so far!

I was curious about the use of "sks" in the examples. It is explained in the paper:

I wonder how long that token will stay "rare".
I’m not sure it’s a feature that you MUST think about the execution model even for trivial things :-) but that you can and should is certainly a strength.
I'm like twice your age and so far the world has always seemed rather unsure and life has always been a bit meaningless.

The purpose in life is to find your purpose. You need to try lots of different activities to find out what you like and dislike. Then you need to spend time doing the things you like so you become better at them. Things are more fun the better you are at doing them.

All your questions are grounded in this latent statement that the world around you is evolving and this is happening to you. But you are in charge of your life. You can choose to do whatever it is you want to do.

I suppose maybe you look at hacker news a lot and have been influenced by the AI hype. Stop looking at hacker news. The AI hype is nice and all but it's never going to replace the joy you feel when you open your sketch notebook and look at the pictures you drew. Nor will it replace your desire to learn about some topic that interests you.
Honestly people like you posting these articles claiming that “weird legislative inaction is fucking over startups and small business” and further pushing the “all work that involves scripting a computer 110% must be classified as software R&E” narrative in comments, in spite of so many people telling you that such a conclusion is batshit stupid, makes me question whether there’s some ulterior motive in play. Like what, are all the accounting firms realizing their CPAs don’t outperform TurboTax if they can’t use their secret software R&E magic loophole and have thus deployed the shills, who show founders ridiculous mega tax bills..obviously perturbing them into posting their re-shills? Anecdotally, I know exactly zero founders who are getting “fucked over” by this because they aren’t stupid enough to structure their taxes in a way that causes their employees’ salaries to magically become capitalized voodoo money. Like, man, cut the histrionics… and find a better tax person.
I’m also now mildly disturbed/worried by the idea of going about my business in AI-generated VR a few years from now (maybe with some 2D-to-3D-ifying compatibility layer) and being haunted by ghosts of stock image watermarks.

> Additionally have an ICBM capability. (What is Delta?)

Sort of. There's a reason why (some) modern rockets are based on the first generation of ICBMs instead of later versions[1].

The military pretty quickly figured out that operationally, SRB based ICBMs are just far superior to the initial liquid fueled ones. While for commercial operation, the reverse is true, although the hybrid model has been successful for quite a while.

1. Mostly. Yes, Minotaur is a thing. But those are made from decommissioned ICBMs. Northrup Grumman (nee Orbital ATK) developed an almost completely SRB based rocket for NSSL, but it wasn't competitive.

I'm going to be building out a SaaS soon, and expect to be doing a lot of SAML and OIDC auth. The field of auth services seems to be super crowded, between the incumbents like Auth0, Okta, Cognito, etc and a ton of startups all offering nice DX and lower pricing, like Clerk, Stytch, WorkOS, Supabase Auth, and so on (putting aside the options of rolling it yourself). After reading the homepage I'm not really sure why Kinde would be better suited for our use case than any of those other startups, since everyone says they're secure/have transparent pricing/are nice to use, but maybe just gotta try it to find out?

Well, as a "European", I feel your frustration. But in this context I think it's fair to assume that people are talking about the parts of Asia where westerners are likely to go for cheap healthcare. Which basically means SEA + India.
I agree that the lack of types is a serious deficiency, but surely that can't be the reason Prolog lost steam? I mean... Python?

As for modes, I'm not convinced they are really needed? I do feel they take away a lot of the beauty of Prolog, and a lot of the incentive to think in relations. (Or at least, I fear they do. I haven't actually programmed in Mercury. Would be happy to be proven wrong.)

Without knowing what is your current level it is very difficult to suggest any book.

If you are talking about textbooks, it really depends on what topic you want to learn (Algebra, Calculus, Mechanics, Electromagnetism…).

If you want a generalist one, many colleges' choice has proven it's:

I feel like this is not the right message to send to a 16 year old asking what the meaning of life is. Sure college is a scam and no 20 year old needs to go to a learning resort with a lazy river. But also, plenty of jobs are quite useful to go to college (although most of those are stem jobs). Like you probably aren't going to get into biotech, geo-engineering, physics, without at least one degree. Well I suppose you can do biotech without a degree if you are Elizabeth Holmes but she went to jail so maybe it's a bad idea.

> I think it’s biggest headwind is that you have to be significantly more intelligent than the average developer to think in Prolog.

This is arguably wrong. Thinking in Prolog is much easier than knowing how to solve a problem beforehand. In Prolog you just state the facts and known rules, but you have no clear idea what would be the best way to solve it. Prolog solves it for you then, if possible. No intelligence needed. A "dumb" friend of mine on the 80ies only used Prolog for his work and was very happy with it. Lisp, Pascal or C was too hard for him.

The problem with Prolog is mostly that you'll through too hard problems at it, mostly with exponential complexity. Tiny changes have huge influences then, it either works or not.
Also the tabling and SAT/SMT integration sucks.
I think their main focus is generate more real lift simulation of driving and creating many scenarios to train on. Its good for the autonomous car mostly targeting Cruise and Tesla.
> >Pick one. Can't be both.

> Pick what?

Arbitrary or unrealistic. Utterly obvious from context; you said "arbitrary and unrealistic", they replied "pick one or the other".

Somewhere else you write about "if you only understood what I wrote". Honestly... This shows that the problem there wasn't with someone else's understanding of English, but yours.

Interested in hearing your thoughts.
Too bad there are no good substitutes for general use that don't make you sound like a wannabe pirate.

On one of our products (that has symmetric speakers, sensors and lights) we use "proper left" and "proper right" in reference material. The markings are also molded on the chassis. It makes communicating with technicians in the field so much easier.
Not needed at all. In fact, I've never used and will never use a package.json in any of my Deno projects.

And are the outcomes of these high net-worth individuals any better than the overall population, in ways that cannot as easily be explained by other factors? I'm not really sold on the idea, and a lot of scientists and doctors aren't either.

Show HN: AI app that auto-creates presentations from just a topic
I recently built an AI app that transforms a simple topic into visually stunning presentations, saving users countless hours of manual work. I'm excited to share this with the HN community and get your valuable feedback, thoughts, and suggestions. What are the potential use cases you can think of? How can we improve it further? What challenges or ethical concerns do you foresee in AI-generated presentations? Let's discuss the impact of AI on productivity and the future of presentations!
Yeah, I agree, let's just rewrite all our system software in Javascript. Much better.

(Well, except for your Javascript interpreter, that will still be written in C++, obviously.)
More optimizations in the compiler and JIT
Even during greenfield, you probably fix 5 bugs for every feature. It's just that the bugs you fix were ones you created yesterday and not something a customer reported in the version you shipped a year ago. Writing tax law that even makes people need to think about what is a bug and what isn't is insane. What was wrong with making it simple like (I assume) most countries where you just treat all salaries as expenses that are completely deducted? What would be lost?
If you are looking for a tiny, Swedish company working in a similar area as Yubico, there is Tillits AB. Tillitis is a spin off from the Swedish VPN provider Mullvad. In contrast to Yubikeys, The Tillitis TKey as well as tools, device verification etc is 100% open source.

This all feels a bit like arguing against the use of cardinal directions because they don't make sense unless you learn them first.

If you use left and right for the ship, you wouldn't be able to use personal left and right without risking ambiguity. You'd just be trading one convenience for the other.
You're right that "the left lung" should obviously be the lung on the patient's left. However, can you look at the image below and immediately identify which is the "left" lung?

I'll add some graphs and fold the code. Thank you for feedback.
WebAuthn doesn’t require the RP to enforce any particular hardware attestation, and many sites (the overwhelmingly majority?) allow anonymous attestation, self-attestation, or simply no attestation at all.

Having hard-to-extract device keys isn’t “DIY hostile”; it’s critical to the attestation security model. If you want to build your own WebAuthn authenticator, then you can either form your attestation root (there’s no “blessed” vendor list that I know of) or simply ignore that part of the spec.
It really depends of your business. Sure if your are a SaaS company, SAP, Google,... that's the case.

But if you are a small shop that build software for other companies, it isn't. You write the software, get a one off paiement and you'll not be able to get more revenue from it in the future outside of a possible maintenance contract. You can't resale it to someone else.

To summarise, the work of many software companies is akind to the work of design office : you do R&D for someone else. The amortization will have to be done by your customer, not by you.

It's a bit like theater - left and right are different depending on whether you're looking at the stage (such as from the audience) or looking out from the stage. So you have to have "stage left" and "house left" (and the same for right) to distinguish them. But it's still confusing if somebody just says left. Which left?

So they could just say something like "ship left" and "ship right" that are always referenced to the bow of the ship, and that would work almost as well, but having special terms just removes any possibility for confusion.
Open hardware security keys exist. Software should not lock themselves into proprietary hardware for security anymore than goobers locking themselves into Symantec's wrapper or only-our-app for basic TOTP which could be platform agnostic.
In a similar vein, two decades ago there was the Sony/Toshiba/IBM Cell processor which ganged up a general-purpose PowerPC core with a cluster of lightweight co-processing PowerPC cores called SPEs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(processor)

The idea was that Cell would also act as the GPU for the PlayStation 3, but performance wasn’t good enough when the chip was finally ready, so they ended up complementing it with an Nvidia GPU.

The programming model was quite difficult. The SPE cores couldn’t directly access main memory. Instead they had small local SRAM buffers (256kB I believe) that the programmer would manually fill using explicit DMA commands either from other SPEs or from main memory. Orchestrating these memory operations for high performance must have been a chore, and when you do have the data, then you have to deal with the SPE having a different architecture with no branch prediction, etc.

GPUs and CUDA turned out to be a much more palatable model for general-purpose compute.
We are paid so well because our work can scale to millions of people, that's all there is to it.

I've progressively through my career felt more ashamed of earning so much money for the comparable little societal benefit I generate. Surely, I work on products that hundreds of millions of people use daily, they even enjoy it, but I don't think the beneficial impact of my work to society is anywhere close to what teachers, nurses, doctors, and so on provide. At some points the impact of my work on society was probably a net negative, I just generated cash for the company in detriment of society's needs.

I just can create millions and millions of US$ for a company through my labour. And for that we are well paid. I know, I've just described capitalism but some folks probably need to be more aware of it.
I co-founded zalter.com bootstrapped and kind of failed to grow it — mainly because of the market saturation IMHO. Did a lot of PoCs and unfortunately most companies are vendor locked-in.
Hot take: not one person on earth could make a good/useful distinction between "bug" and "feature" in software development. Some times that's clear, usually it's not. Making tax law depend on the idea that there is a distinction is pretty terrible.

I looked at Western Michigan University, a public university in "middle of nowhere college town" Kalamazoo, Michigan that I'm somewhat familiar with. Here's an itemization of what I got from their cost of attendance calculator for an incoming, in-state freshman, major undeclared, in-person degree program:

In state tuition for Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 (12 credit hours): $6925

Residence hall: $2834

14 meal plan: $2438

Textbook, travel, and personal expenses estimate: $1832

Total: $14029. For one semester. So, round that off and double it, and you've got $28k per year, for an in-state student. (Okay, technically, the calculator also spit out $500/semester in misc. fees, and doesn't count certain individual class and lab fees, but I'll stick with $28k per year.)

Now, you show me a family that can fork out that kind of dough every year for 4 years, and I'll show you someone who's extremely privileged. Amortized monthly, that's comparable to a mortgage on a $350k house at current rates.

Any manager would tell you, don't develop clean or CRISP, develop by the deadline.
Under the hood you often find a lot of differences in terms of what you get for the cost, limitations in user management depending on which company, and a few other factors.

For us we've built out auth, and now the next step is billing and release management. Once you have these different factors in one place you should see heaps of benefits
I have been wondering what's the actual status of iOS updates outside of the US, or in countries where nobody uses wifi? I just checked that my SO's iOS was on 16.3.1, over 2 months old iOS version.

Apple has decided that iOS should only accept downloading OS updates over wifi. In my country, for example, people don't really set up wifi at home anymore because basically everyone has unlimited cellular data. So they don't need to connect to any wifi at all. All the iOS update statistics seem to come from the US, where everyone relies on wifi.

It seems that on some level, iOS suffers from the same update problem as Android, but only because Apple decided to do so for no reason. Not everyone lives in the US.
Ah, true, I forgot!
There are some we use in tech every day. The word log (as in logbook/log file) comes from a literal log that was thrown overboard to estimate the speed of the ship for navigation.

After that, there's some fun slang that's nautical. Chockablock comes from the blocks (pulleys) getting jammed on each other when multiple ropes are being worked on. "Not enough room to swing a cat" refers to the Cat o' Nine Tails which was a whip used for punishment on board ships.

Of course, I'm not even including the influx from containerisation! Helm, tiller, etc. etc.

Because that wasn't the problem. Had the raw materials been available, supply would have continued and the company would have been making a lot of money. I assume that inability to ship would have led to difficulty paying staff. Could be wrong on that score, but it was a sound business in its own right, and personally I don't like to see profitable British companies being sold abroad.
