I am no fan of google, but this is such a grotesque distortion that it feels like you are just pushing an agenda here.

1. They can lock you out of your google account and services you authenticate using login with google, but no more or less than they can lock you out without passkey authentication.

2. You may lose access as per #1, but no differently than if you lost access to your google account having used MFA or whatever other method to log in. It's completely orthogonal.

3. This is just wrong. The passkey is a cert which is used to sign something and send them the signature they can verify with the public part of the cert. They can't login as you. If you don't trust them not to backdoor the passkey itself during generation you can use a passkey generated by someone else.

4. You never had any recourse. This doesn't change that at all either way. It's a login methodology.
I mean I just have my ideas, so maybe this isn’t correct, but I think Indians treat family relationships more like a single unit as opposed to US culture where everyone acts more like an individual (even people within a marriage) and finds reasons to prioritize going their own path. What you’re saying may have elements of truth too.

My N=1 experience is my relationship is very happy and fulfilling.
reading tea-leaves -- there is a behind-the-scenes split on how to proceed, on several fronts. The EU and India proposed directly to include IPCC language about "transitioning to 100% non-fossil fuel" and the USA + friends cancelled that in committee. While lots of ordinary educated people support energy change, you can see from the rhetoric and the stalling that what that "change" is, is not agreed upon. Stanford University, with regular funding from the Oil and Gas giants, are in a position to effect the spin and secrecy around these very public changes.

For example in 2023, the long-term investment and planning to replace Soviet-era oil and gas infrastructure in the Baltics with USA led oil and gas infrastructure in the Baltics is not publicly discussed; plans for control of shipping channels in the Arctic Circle area are not publicly discussed in the USA; changes to the USA grid to accomodate plural energy sources are not publicly discussed. An oil and gas-funded institute at Stanford is in a position to affect all of those. Multiple former US State Department executive leaders are active at Stanford right now.
My understanding is that there is a decent amount of undefined behavior on stack overflow in Rust, due to its use of TLS.

Infinite scrolling should also go away.

Yes yes it’s fine if you implement it perfectly and cover all edge cases…which many developers don’t.
A very interesting take, thank you! I have to wonder if Humanists themselves would accept the label you're prescribing for them ;)

I also find it a little funny that you assume Humanists are only living out their philosophy "by mimicry, requirement, or obligation," as that's often how I've seen humanists describe religious moralism. I appreciate you sharing your perspective!
> Kill a tree

You know that paper producers own land where they farm trees for pulp, right?

It's not like they're making deserts out there randomly chopping down trees.
Oh, things are obvious in C++, huh?

Is the result of this function copied when it returns?

auto f1() {
if (check_something()) {
std::optional<foo> result(std::in_place, arg1, arg2...);
if (result->check_something_else()) { /\* do something unrelated */ }
return result;
} else {
return std::optional<foo>(std::nullopt);
}
}

How about this one?

auto f2() {
std::optional<foo> result(std::nullopt);
if (check_something()) {
result.emplace(arg1, arg2...);
if (result->check_something_else()) { /\* do something unrelated \*/ }
}
return result;
}
Eh. I've come around on them.

In 2015 I might have agreed. But they clearly caught on. We now have enough data that shows users know how to use them, and in many cases prefer them. There's even one built into the Xbox controller for crying out loud.

I won't begrudge the purists out there who find creative ways to avoid assimilating. But, uhhhh, I don't think this confusing footer link trick would actually win out in a UX test in 2023.
Have definitely been there. And I’m still working on it, on some level. Here’s what I would’ve liked to tell my younger self.

1. Understand it takes time. There are no shortcuts to intimacy. Come on too strong, whether it’s just friendship or it’s romantic, and it just makes people wary. While you’re waiting for relationships to form, make sure you are getting out there and doing things. Make plans with yourself, and commit to them. People will like you more if you’re busy - it couldn’t matter less what those plans are. Just be busy. Physical activities outdoors are best for raising your mood.

2. Build on the connections you have. Someone who’s just an acquaintance? Could be a friend. Did they seem to enjoy being around you? You want people in your life who make you feel good, who make you feel like you belong. So be open minded and pay attention to how people respond to you. If it’s a warm lead, ask them out for a walk or a hike, something active. Makes it easier if there’s something to do. Or sometimes it’s as simple as accepting an invitation, if they’ve already put out feelers.

3. Become a regular. Go to a coffee shop or a restaurant once a week. Don’t go too much, and make sure you’re polite and tip well. The cashier probably isn’t going to be your friend, and you probably don’t want them to be. But those loose connections have a positive impact on your mood, whether you realize it or not.

4. Take a class or join a gym or club. I tried F45, and ended up in a jiu jitsu gym. Better if you find something that you connect with and enjoy. Go in all seriousness to get lost in the activity, but be open to new connections. They will happen naturally once you begin to enjoy it because you will feel like you belong.

5. Get a therapist. If you’ve got any kind of social anxiety, it helps having someone tell you once a week (or two weeks, or month) that you’re just a normal human being experiencing normal things. At least it did for me.

Worst thing you can do is lean too much on any one resource. (Again, speaking from experience here…) If people get the feeling that you want something to happen a little too much, it’s like kryptonite. You’ll make mistakes and that’s okay. Take your learnings and move on. It’s just a matter of time before you find your people, you’ve just got to keep at it and not force things.

That’s my two cents :)

> "DO NOT USE YOUR BROWSER BACK BUTTON"?

Yeah, state mutation triggered by GET requests is going to make for a bad time, SPA or MPA. Fortunately enough of the web application world picked up enough of the concepts behind REST (which is at the heart of all web interaction, not just APIs) by the mid/late 00s that this already-rare problem became vanishingly rare well before SPAs became cancerous.

> going back to change the order details would completely break the world and you'd have to re-enter all your shipping info. SPAs solve that problem very well.

The problem is entirely orthogonal to SPA vs MPA.

> If you are making a phone app, would you EVER design it so that the app downloads UI screens on demand as the user explores the app?

It's not only EVER done, it's regularly done. Perhaps you should interrogate some of the reasons why.

But more to the point, if it's bad, SPAs seem to frequently manage to bring the worst of both worlds, a giant payload of application shell and THEN also screen-specific application/UI/data payload, all for reasons like developer's unfortunately common inability to understand that both JSON and HTML are perfectly serviceable data exchange formats (let alone that the latter sometimes has advantages).
Or the river that catches on fire?
> Common law marriage, in every state I've checked, requires that you have a ceremony and present yourself as a "married couple" publicly. You have to go around telling people you're married for it to matter.

It generally does not require a ceremony (but it does usually require an explicit mutual agreement), and living together does matter (cohabitation is commonly a requirement or evidence of common law marriage), but other than that you are right that publicly presenting as married is often a requirement (and otherwise is evidence).

Here’s info from Texas as an example, which is more required-elements-based and includes cohabitation: https://guides.sll.texas.gov/common-law-marriage#:~:text=Tex...

And here is Colorado, which is more evidence based and does not identify cohabitation as even a form of evidence (though it does have joint ownership of property): https://pitkincounty.com/288/Common-Law-Marriage

Utah is more specific requirements, and includes both cohabitation and how the couple presents publicly, but no ceremony:

I suspect monetización is the challenge. It’s similar to an image host. Everyone loves you when you don’t need to make money and you can do what’s best for the end user.
I have less of a problem with web UIs but when this sort of minimalistic design starts invading even washrooms, that's where I draw the line.

There are no door handles for cubicle doors, you have to push them inside after seeing the separation lines. The first time I went to such a washroom, I was confused where should I enter from.

The paper towels are hidden behind the mirrors, if someone pulls and the next one doesn't flow down, you really will have no way of knowing the paper towels were there.

There are many other such things. I get that minimalistic design looks clean, but do you know what's better, accessibility.
in-person and regular community service or mutual aid.

nothing builds comraderie quite like having a common goal, and when the common goal is aligned with putting down roots in your community and Being There Now, you get to double dip on meaningful connections!
> But I have always had stack overflows in my mental bucket of "stuff it's my responsibility to think about".

I remember working on kernel modules, and coming from userland being surprised to find kernel stacks of 16k or 24k are common. Anything that could help with that without having to do kernel debugging on weird errors would be great.
As a non-native speaker, I very much prefer this more steady voice than the unbelievably fake intonation a lot of American podcasters/YouTubers use when reading from a script.

Mark Rober comes to mind as having a particularly unnatural and annoying cadence, intonation and pitch shifting during sentences.
The article is a boring rant with no substance. His main issue seems to be the realloc zero change which he claims breaks idiomatic code. But this is certainly not idiomatic code as it never worked correctly in portable C code, because different implementations did different things for decades with no willingness to change.
They have, Eventbrite is in the same ballpark for example. How come they don't succeed is the question.
A lot of people are complaining about SodaStream et al due to mineral content but my complaint is actually different! I prefer purified water anyway (I don't need the minerals for taste, tap water is good enough). I have a soda maker at home (it's not gas-based SodaStream-like, it creates CO2 through baking soda and citric acid). However, these do not carbonate water as much as Polar or Canada Dry seltzer waters. I like it when my water is maximally carbonated, it almost burns my tongue. Half-carbonated water tastes gross, it's like someone opened a can of seltzer and let it sit for 30 mins...
Online dating is so bad. It’s probably good for a certain type of person who is extroverted and has a cookie-cutter personality and dates based off shallow first impressions, but even then I doubt it. For both men and women in different ways.

The fact that “online dating” as it is now is considered a serious alternative, makes it seem that the current dating situation is really messed up. My understanding is that the still-reliable way to get dates is to be in a community where everyone knows each other and most people date within the community (e.g. small town or school or job). But if you’re not in a community it’s a lot harder, because there are so many creeps and trolls everyone is either closed off or weird, with the very rare viable partner who just hasn’t been exposed enough to become closed off themselves.
There's been a lot of progress made over the past few releases for Julia's startup and compile times. With the upcoming release of version 1.9, we'll be caching native machine code from the precompilation phase of a package.

Packages will be able to specify precompilation workflows that are run when the package is installed and then cache the results from that leading to a huge improvement of the loading time for most heavy packages.
I don't recall that, just to not rely on the order of an object's keys, which appears to be outdated advice (at least for Javascript).

Do we know if there serious about this? I'd hope the union negotiators would realize there was likely to be a backlash to this and put out this request as a bargaining point they won't fight very hard for.

It should not be based on what YOU (the developer or designer) feels, it should be based on user research. User research shows hamburger menus are bad.
The follow-ups to Metal Gear and Duke Nukem at least were made by the same people as the originals. Hideo Kojima and Todd Replogle/Allen Blum III respectively. Some copies of Metal Gear Solid even included the original game.

Wolfenstein 3D only used the name for publicity. And for cheap too. Pro tip: don't sell your IP, license it. Especially if someone comes knocking on your door. If someone else wants something you have that means there's more value in it than you can see.

If you're at all interested in the technical aspects or retro computing, I highly recommend Fabien Sanglard's Game Engine Black Book: Wolfenstein 3D: https://fabiensanglard.net/gebbwolf3d/

The technical wizardry that went into making it fast went way beyond the raycasting graphics engine. There were all kinds of tricks used to speed up the engine:

One that comes to mind was compiled scalers - they basically JIT-compiled the code of an unrolled loop that drew each scaled vertical strip of a wall. That was why the game had to do some slow processing when you resized the view area.

Another one was that if two vertical strips were the same, they could be sent to the VGA card at the same time.

There were also a couple of tricks to speed up drawing sprites if they contained lots of transparent pixels.

I vaguely also recall seeing the "fizzlefade" effect discussed here a while back: When you die the screen is faded to red through a linear feedback shift register that touches each pixel on the screen once in a seemingly random way.

Kids today have it so easy with their Unitys and their Unreals... :P

The Black Book on Doom is also worth a read for comparison - it is quite remarkable how much the PC improved when 16-bit real mode was replaced by 32-bit protected mode and how different the design of Doom was from Wolf3D.

As I said elsewhere, I'm fully in favor of them having a union and negotiating reasonable things. This particular idea is BS and whoever came up with it should be embarrassed.
Having the EU work this out would be hard since pork barrel is kind of part of the way the whole thing is done. You need to have multiple production points, factories etc in order for the EU to do anything like this.

I just don’t see how they would do this.
I don't understand this take at all. Why would you bury your navigation on your (hypothetical) marketing site in the footer on mobile? Most users don't even scroll far enough to make it to the footer and they certainly wouldn't expect the navigation there.

I'm biased. I'm the type of person who unfollows their friends for posting too much news/politics/outrage material. I've curated my Facebook feed to be mostly about things I'm interested in; hobbies and the like. I would actually celebrate if Facebook blocked all news.

I also pretty thoroughly detest most of the news media in Canada. It's become far too politicized, and it strictly presents one side of the political spectrum but not in a good way. It tries to take some pretty radical ideas and normalize them, trying to pass them off as mainstream.

It also happens to be pretty uncritical of the big media corporations in Canada, not wanting to bite the hand that feeds it. It doesn't seem like a coincidence that Canadians pay some of the highest rates in the world for wireless and internet access.

Why would the USA "sell the EUV tech" to a European company if any American company could do it? It makes no fucking sense. The only thing that makes sense is that there was no American company to "sell the tech" to. You're living in cloud cuckoo fantasy land if you think the US simply had EUV fully developed and just happily donated it to a Europany company out of the goodness of their hearts.

If the tech was so easy and America held all the cards, the machines would be made in America, end of story.
My Fiat 500e has been the lowest maintenance cost vehicle Ive ever owned. And Ive had approx 50 so far (Im a collector). In 5 years of ownership its cost me one 12v battery ($80) and two headlights ($60) because one burned out. That's it.

Yup I have to register and insure it but its ridiculously low cost compared to everything else.
These are very good links, and I feel I have a better understanding of "ritual" now. Thank you!
1. This is not exact attention, but an approximation of it. Specifically, they use k-nearest neighbors to retrieve the top-k most similar tokens, out of an "unlimited-length input" say of size N, where k << N.

2. This idea is quite similar to retrieval transformers and Hopfield networks which have been known and published for several years now. It's not really that novel.

3. Due to the preceding points, the title can easily mislead people. It's not really a conventional transformer, and it's not a breakthrough.

4. This paper is a preprint and not peer-reviewed.

"I generally don't enjoy seeing preprints like this going to the top of Hacker News. This would be a higher quality submission if the paper was peer-reviewed or put into a greater context, like a blog post discussion or something like that."

Let me retract this and say something a bit nicer :)
I personally think there this specific preprint making it to the top of HN is potentially harmful, because of the hype around LLMs, the diverse audience of readers here, and the specific title that implies a claim of "transformer with unlimited context length", when this is misleading. I don't have anything against preprints in general - a lot of work outside of the peer-review process ends up being very impactful.
Well, I can't argue with that. I'm just going by the intro paragraph in the article.

If your argument is "I know this guy and I consider his opinion worthless" you might want to lead with that.
Offer a consistent menu system. Offer a choice of one of: Menu bar, Hamburger menu, ...

I'm the IoT node design space and this is what we use. There is no sales or use case to repurpose the device one it's at the end of life, and we don't want people to do as such.

The point of secure boot is to make sure it's only our firmware running, and only our firmware connecting to our backend with the appropriate keys. Anything else is a security nuisance at best and an company killing problem at worst.

We're willing to sacrifice the SoC in those cases. Your mileage may vary.
