First, there's the obvious problem of failing to distinguish between "parsing" and merely "tokenizing". The latter was generally possible. In fact, IIRC, the famous Zalgo rant (linked in the post), while fun and true in a sense, is actually posted to a bad question for it, as the question asked is actually perfectly solvable by regular expressions, even conventional ones without backwards matches or any other fancy PCRE additions.

However, I'm not even sure that you can any longer even tokenize HTML with regular expressions, because one of the most important aspects of HTML5 was to formalize a strict definition of how to sloppily parse HTML. Yes, that may sound like a contradiction, but it isn't, check the sentence again. It formalized what the browsers were already doing and harmonized how to handle the broken HTML that people actually produce. As one might expect from something that is the harmonization of the decade+ accumulation of the heuristics developed by at least three major streams of browsers (more depending on how you count), it is not exactly simple.

I guess I can't guarantee you couldn't embed all this into a regular expression: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#parse-st... but the result would not be worth it. Use a standard HTML parser.

Now, obviously, I'm taking a strict view of the term "HTML" in this case. Regular expressions can certainly be used to extract things from documents that you choose to view as a particular approximation of HTML. I've done it before and I'll probably do it again. But when I do, I'm not actually envisioning myself as "parsing HTML", what I'm doing is parsing a byte stream that happens to be HTML, but I'm just hacking around and getting something that works for the exact format this particular document happens to be in, which is a highly, highly restricted subset of HTML, especially since I probably only care about a very small part of it. But it's also an unspecified subset of HTML and may change without warning at any time, and I need to deal with that.

If I care about a lot of it, I find myself an HTML parser and an XPath implementation. If you do this a lot, it's worth learning, as it's very, very powerful and faster to develop with than regexes once you know what you're doing. If it's anything beyond the most trivial thing, I preferentially reach for this now that I've learned it. But there is a non-trivial learning curve to it. If you're just grabbing a particular price out of a page once, by all means use regexs.
They should open source this. I would actually contribute to making this usable.
Have we considered that children don't understand what's best for them? Kids never want to go to school. But they do anyways because going to school is extremely important for a child. I never wanted to go to school, but my parents told me to get my ass up and go. Giving children this much agency over their lives when they don't have the maturity to do so is going to cause some really bad consequences.

We are in a constant cycle of rewarding children for saying they have a condition. It's very important to give reasonable accomodations to people who have mental issues. But when you are constantly excusing children from accountability if they say the magic words, if you are promoting a culture that celebrates self victimization, and if you frame every single decision in life as one that has no free agency, you create massive problems. You get an uneducated populace that has convinced themselves from the get go that their life is doomed to fail because of XYZ condition someone said they have.
Hard to see how much value add k-12 has vs ChatGPT4 (aside from Social interaction)
The counter argument I hear for rational arguments such as yours is that if you want to hire the best CEOs you basically have to give them all the perks and none of the accountability.

It's a zero sum game where the best people go to where they will get paid out no matter what. I think this should change and I think doing it through regulation where all companies are forced to comply will remove the zero sum factor.
Mercury OS. A speculative vision of the operating system
The Linux desktop ecosystem still feels more like a playground. And that's not a pejorative in the sense that a lot of serious work hasn't been done on making powerful software and doing professional work on Linux desktops. I mean that in the sense that "Linux desktop" isn't very defined, formalized or standardized. It comes in all shapes and sizes and people are very free to customize it and use it as they see fit. Many people think this is a good thing and a benefit of software freedom. For example, if I walk up to a random person's Linux desktop, I don't know what I'm in for. That's very different than walking up to someone's Windows desktop, macOS desktop or even Solaris back in the day.
Can someone explain how we managed to have programming languages and toolchain development for half a century without using telemetry, but somehow we need it today in our tools? Their Why Telemetry? blog, just doesn't cut it for me [1].

Stuff like checkers was a "a kind of problem reserved for humans" but was solved decades ago; you can see why the situation is similar to the context of the above quote. Time and time we have been through claims of "X solved, we are just a summer away from thinking machines" ... yet after the smoke cleared we only had a better solver for X, and nothing else. We may have a ridiculously better solver for chess, but that's about it -- it's as far from "abstracting and forming concepts" and "self-improving" as everything from the 60s was (in retrospect).

For me the biggest difference is that the current days we are happy with more black boxy methods where it's unclear if they can lead to actual progress or applicability.
Looks awesome! Great job!
The ease of funding opportunities these days. Startups start to please their source of money. And, it rather seems that those are investors/grants rather than customers. My assumption is that, it's easy for the MBA-types to please VCs/Grant-agencies. And, so you have the outcome...
I'm a Staff Engineer, but I hardly do anything that this book describes. Maybe it's my company, but we have so many Staff Engineers that if we all were to do this stuff, nobody would have time to do the actual work and there would be too many people trying to lead.

Perhaps the levels are diluted and my title doesn't match my actual role at my company, but it feels like this is an industry-wide phenomenon.

Social media analysis disrupts Russian digital narratives
The problem with SOCINT is that you are attempting to infer about "public opinion" from social media platforms that are known to be full of bots, "public relations" consultants, manipulators, spammers, grifters, and the like.

Just look at the show in Twitter; what possibly could you reliably infer about anything?
(policy) the middle class was forced to bail out the 0.1% for making bad investments during the crises of 2008.

It should be obvious to everybody the U.S. is an oligarchy. It actually has been for decades now, but it was laid bare in 2008. Many people are fighting the oligarchs in an interesting way - refusing to provide them the labor they need to further enrich themselves. The kids born in 2008 would be 15 in 2023. What the oligarchs are worried about is a huge drop in the labor market. That's one reason they're pushing so hard for ending abortion. All I can say is there's going to be a lot more incels.
Its all about academic pressure where im located. Very high peer pressure in addition to the school. Basically if you arent getting atraight a’s in honors classes youre a failure. I yanked my daughter from highschool in 10th grade and let her get a ged. The panic attacks were the last straw
Of course, people should try their best to fix schools, but in the meantime, kids must attend..
To avoid repeating my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35973362
I can relate to this. I changed schools because of a move at the start of the sixth grade. It was a horrible experience. I dreaded going back there all summer. My brother and I saw a program on home schooling on TV, and I saw my path out. We begged our parents to home school us. That worked out really well for us in the end. We got a top level education and we learned to be unafraid to learn on our own, whatever we needed. Neither of us finished college, but we’re both reasonably successful today, having found our own path in the world. My brother is a self published science fiction author with over one million books sold. I’m a software engineer and wannabe entrepreneur. We’re both self taught in our professions. School really sucks. I will try my hypothetical future kids on home schooling first to see how they take to it.
Nintendo is better at couch co-op or split screen games. Anything Mario (e.g. Kart), the common casual games (Overcooked), etc. And these games are easier to setup in split-screen mode. The Deck is awesome but 4 Bluetooth controllers is super painful (which one needs re-pairing? who's on controller #1?).

The Deck's wider capabilities (emulators, Minecraft) are also harder to setup and use for kids. The Switch is way more limited but little kids perhaps deal better with a flat "no" than a "maybe, you'll need to work for it".

I think GP's point holds. I'm loving my Deck but my kids are more drawn to their Switch, the Deck intimidates them.
Houses aren't money, and volatility in the housing market doesn't impact it's utility as shelter. And furthermore, the use of houses as a speculative vehicle is a huge problem that makes it very difficult for younger people to buy homes.
In this case I don't think the OP was attempting to use whataboutism for the purposes of distracting away from Apple, or explaining away Apple's behavior. It was more of a "and-also-whataboutism" to bring Renault under the same scrutiny.
I would be curious whether students in places like Japan, Korea, and China would also refuse to go to school if going to school didn't also have the immense social pressure and stakes behind it.
Why do you assume this is unique to the US?

I had to wake up at 6am and get driven on a noisy school bus for >1hr into the countryside to go to my Catholic public school here in Canada for years. It’s normal for kids to dread that sort of commitment. Looking back though I realized my school life was much nicer and had better teachers than the awful stuff I’ve heard from my nieces/nephews today, so maybe it was worth driving for an hour instead of staying local. Not all school life is equal.
I did the lawful version (read the student handbook and missed the absolute max # of days I could without them being able to take disciplinary action), but basically same here. Also left high school at 16 because I absolutely did not want to be there until 18. Would highly recommend the GED and/or early graduation programs for anyone capable.
It's NPR, gotta give both sides equal time.
I will yell at the cloud too. I get why TypeScript exists. For large projects it really helps.

But loosing one of the main benefits of scripting languages for some convenience? You could argue that you use webpack anyway. Same question applies here...

If you have to use JS anyway, be glad that you can have an extremely shallow toolchain for deployment for smaller projects. I am not a JS dev, I just use it for stabbing at bits occasionally.

You will be able to swap your mainboard for the AMD one.
Windows can also do PXE boot. It's just a little rougher around the edges in that application than most of the unixes are.

I think the Windows approach here would be to have one beefy server, and a bunch of thin-clients that connect to the server using RDP. For security & ease-of-maintenance, you would probably want those thin-clients connecting to individual Windows VMs hosted on the server, rather than accounts on the server itself. Of course, streaming games & video over RDP is going to suck.
Mmm, it looks like LLVM even has a pass to actively convert generated cmovs into branches if one of the operands touches memory [^1], and that only supported way to force things to be brancheless is inline assembly [^2].

Ok, in that case Python would be 0, 1, 3 and Julia 1, 2, 3. My point is that the example explicitly skips an index in the definition of a data frame for Python, but it doesn't for Julia.
Adding devcontainer.json and then using DevPod with it should be pretty straight-forward for you. You can use docker-compose inside devcontainer.json if you want to reuse your existing setup.

True, and if you want lean and mean, look at OpenBSD or NetBSD. Both are very tight.

fvwm is your friend, it can do just about anything, but for things that need root, add entries to sudoers similar to:

YOURID ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: shutdown -h now

or for doas(1):

permit nopass YOURID as root cmd shutdown -h now

Then add a menu pick to exec

sudo|doas shutdown -h now

You may want to add shutdown's path to whatever it is on your distro.
Can't you add the settings and submit a PR?

Not picking on you, as it seems this is common: treating open source software as if it's someone's else's product, and treating ourselves as helpless consumers.

It's not the output from one plant, it's the amount you get from a big pile of coal plants versus the same amount of nuclear power, even with a very high projection of nuclear plant release.

The coal plants release radiation at a moderate speed but never stop.

Lol okay dude, cruise missiles don't have to aim at nuclear plants to do the same damage.
I don't think they need telemetry. Go is clearly a successful language and community without it.

The whole point of the proposal is that things could be improved with some telemetry.

Now of course you could weigh the tradeoffs and say the potential for improvement doesn't outweigh the risk of misuse, but it seems clear to me that reasonable people can disagree.

From what I understand, German school is even more demanding in terms of how they drive you to do well or lose benefits. I can only imagine the stress of things like getting demoted from Gymnasium [1] after not performing well enough due to life stresses during a critical developmental phase in life, or not making Abitur [2] qualifications and not getting that free post secondary.

They do have kids out of high school that are quite good with STEM stuff, but I have heard that bullying is a big problem.

As I am a bit "on the spectrum," my grade school years were absolutely awful. I suspect a lot of folks here can relate, but we have a way of attracting bullies that seems innate. It's crazy.

I did enjoy tech school, though, and have done fairly well in the working world.
The second derivative went very slightly negative in 2015, well before COVID.

The narrative pushed by many is that we need some sort of deus ex machina to save us -- nuclear or hydrogen or the overthrow of capitalism or killing off 90% of the world's population or something.

That's BS. We know what the problem is, we know how to fix it and we are fixing it, just too slowly. No magic solution, just a lot of hard work. Keep doing what we're doing, but do more of it, and faster.
It'll probably be an in-memory circular buffer of the last n minutes, and then you get to save it if anything happens

On the upside, if the tax-preparation industry is destroyed or severely diminished, it would make it easier to reform/simplify the tax code at a later date should a future government be so inclined.

On the downside... no way would I use a tax preparation system provided by the IRS. It's bound to be a UX nightmare, like all government software, there's an obvious conflict of interest (the IRS has no reason to help find deductions and/or assist me in minimizing my tax bill), and I'd rather not give them any more visibility than I have to into my personal finances.

Update for downvoters: Woah! Sorry for casting aspersions at the Tax Man.
This may be akin to the craze of fear of terrorism that swept the general public after September 11th. I found that craze to be entirely irrational, but it would hardly be appropriate for the same individuals to see their kids as being particularly irrational, if their fear of being shot is real.

As far as I can tell, fear of being shot is not the primary factor why students don't want to go to school. The article, for example, doesn't mention global warming / climate change (our planet burning) or AI (possible humanity ending). How incentivized would you be to spend your youth working hard for a future that might not exist?
That's a good objection, go tell it to the guy I'm sarcastically replying to instead because it is they that are worried, not me.
I think the solfege for Baby Shark would actually start with sol la do, or in the key of C, G A C. Because the phrase eventually ends by dropping down one semitone on the final "shark", which would end up being F# (Fi!) if you started at the root of the scale. The initial movement from G to C, or sol to do in solfege, is very common and something you spot everywhere once you're aware of it.

This is one of those things that is going to absolutely vary between people.

In the 90s in my town if you liked comic books and D&D you weren't part of the cool crowd. It never felt low-stakes, every mistake or social faux pas was a way to be relentlessly made fun of.

Not GP but everyone has different stories about American public school being awful. For instance my issues with school started with having to drop from pre-algebra to remedial arithmetic in 7th grade in order to start in the gifted classes in middle school. It was a bit of a Sophie’s choice because I really belonged in the advanced math track. The kids I was around in those remedial classes sucked and some of them would bully me for knowing things. So I learned to hide how smart I was.

So it’s not going to be any one thing but rather a consequence of our culture of devaluing intelligence and learning coupled with how severely under-resourced our schools are.
