IMO the worthwhile fact to share on an HN thread is "in Canada there are specific laws against inciting hatred through speech etc." and linking that criminal code entry, rather than mentioning and linking a specific news case that we have no real details on. At least the criminal code is a clearly-defined thing we can learn from and internalize, rather than a specific case where the public was not given enough information to make an informed judgement about (as per most news stories, IMO).
It's basic leverage and negotiations. The GOP has to show their base they fought and hanged in there. Just like Democrats have to show that they stood firm. This is more or less PR stunt for respective bases and hoping other side would flitch to get a better deal. A last minute deal will be ironed out and everyone wins.. well except for future American citizens.
We'll also soon be eclipsed on the technological front. Losing our leading position in semiconductor manufacturing is, I suspect, the first in what will become a pattern. And once we lose economic prominence, military superiority will quickly follow. In 1939, the U.S. Army was the 39th largest in the world, and the country produced just 3,000 military aircraft. In the next five years, the U.S. produced 300,000 aircraft: https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-war/war-production.
Well, this isn't a valid reason. It's not the software that is causing the WUCT.

If you let WUCT run free in any complex process, you are just asking for everything to break all the time and people to do nothing but fire-fighting. So, you are much better dealing with the WUCT causes instead of insisting that software or any other component scales forever? (Because they never will, and you will just make something else bream.)

WUCT is one of the main reasons why we monitor system operations.
On the day Russia invaded, Defense contractor stocks rose significantly.

Until we can break the profit motive away from war production, you won't see these kinds of wars stopping.

Not to say there aren't other motivations for war, but policy makers, defense companies, and governmental orgs are fairly entwined.

One fun thing I used to find, if you followed an article about Xiajiang, and followed the citations far enough, the source citation was almost always a thinktank funded by these groups in abstract ways. It'd take a while to find again, but one example was a study by some pacific named thinktank, who's funding was from an Australian defense policy group. That group was in turn partially funded by the American DoD.

The corruption is circular. Soft power manipulates studies, which manipulates reporting, which manipulates public opinion, which then sways policy, which then supports the original orgs. It was so easy to turn "predicted cultural genocide(by including a group in a policy they were previously exempt from)" into "active genocide" when you're 8 citations deep.
I wonder if Twitter is already generating more revenue now compared to pre-Elon days when it was a massively over-staffed activist organisation.

I think both are pretty common. E.g. uname -a says x86_64 and GCC/Clang use x86-64 for defining the target while, on the other hand, MSVC (and a lot of Microsoft stuff in general) uses amd64 as do many BSDs.
> The problem that I have with [package.json] is that it gives rise to this concept of a module as this directory of files, where that wasn't really a concept before, where we just had JavaScript files

> > [In] Deno I want to simplify the module system, so screw all this stuff about how Node modules work... it can't be compatible with Node, otherwise you end up building Node, so there's no attempt at compatibility with existing software.

I think that Deno's module system is still incompatible with Node's: supplying a node_modules directory of files in your project root, at run time or at build time, still won't work. Deno is now just doing the work to ingest npm packages and process them into Deno modules at build time, if you want to use them. That doesn't seem out of line with Dahl's vision to me.
I'm very excited to share this beast of an article covering all things email for SaaS in 2023. I dig deep into why, how, and when your SaaS company should be sending emails to maximize success (and profits).

Why was I interested in putting together this 18,000 word guide? Quite simply... I love email (seriously).

In 2020 I started an email newsletter that has grown to 12,000+ subscribers.

I then sold that newsletter and joined a YC-backed email company.

And now, I get to write about email every day.

This guide covers everything that I've learned along the way as well as things I wish I would've known when starting out.
> Suppose I buy the full rights to all Alien intellectual property, and then commission a prequel story

you just summed up Star Wars 1-3, only without having to buy the rights issues. so, yes, "prequels" and "canon" can harm the existing movies, or at least how people feel about them.
It's mostly a crazy idea to try and shift discussions away from the things that we know won't work.

This is really cool, good job on the release! I love how it gives a time and price estimate. I'm currently in the process of building an itinerary for a couple cities overseas, so this will be fun to generate ideas with.

It would be a lot more helpful if I could input where in the city I'll be staying, and/or which airport I'll be arriving/departing from so that I have a better idea about travel effort/time for each destination.
Linux still needs to use a Startup IPI to bring up other CPUs, which starts them running in 16-bit mode at an address under 1MB.

Having a fully 64-bit way to bring up other CPUs would simplify that.
The debt ceiling is about issuing new debt to fund expenditures. It has nothing to do with paying existing debts, or the 14th amendment.

Calling on Biden to bypass Congress is asking him to to violate one of the foundational provisions of Article I. Section 8 makes clear that the power "to borrow Money on the credit of the United States" belongs to Congress.
My understanding is that Elon is mainly interested in eliminating ideologically and politically motivated censorship. He has recently given an interview on what he calls the "woke mind virus"[0], in which he talks about his views on free speech. Banning links to a Twitter competitor would not necessarily be inconsistent with this objective.

I had a similar brush with ambiguity sometime back when there was an article about a bill being tabled. The verb table has two opposite meanings per merriam webster:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/table#:~:text=tab...

a: to remove (something, such as a parliamentary motion) from consideration indefinitely
b British : to place on the agenda
This is why the WH isn't budging on negotiating on this, and I agree with them on that. The time to debate has come and gone, threatening to put the credibility of the US in peril because one side wants to get some bill passed is just silly.

Also we need to look at which presidencies inflate the debt burden, and that's more and more commonly solely one side, the same side threatening to put our country in peril. It's almost like massive tax cuts for the rich have left our country with less money to pay our bills. Weird!
Those bad boys (9-track tapes) could easily hold 40MB which was a few hundred times bigger than floppy discs of the 8-bit age and would add up to quite a few compact cassettes. (As expensive as it was, I was so happy to switch to floppy disk for my TRS-80 Color Computer because restoring stuff I saved on a cassette was always hit or miss.)

Mainframes in 1968 were handling much bigger data sets than you could handle with a micro until 1990 or so.
I'm curious to know what sorts of things you were thinking about when you wrote this. The tone of it reads as emotional and defensive rather than informative. It would probably contribute more to the discussion if you expressed your own ideas rather than attempting to pre-empt the ideas of others by listing them in bullet point format. Wouldn't you agree? :3
>engaging the engine braking requires feathering the brake long enough to get it to downshift.

What? No, you put in the clutch, pull out of gear into neutral, rev match up to the engine speed for the lower gear, plop the shifter into it, release the clutch. What do you use the friction brakes for? Hell, you can skip the rev matching completely if you don't mind clutch wear and jerkiness.

Great article all around.

TL;DR: A cross-origin request can still be same site. Also, SameSite cookies do not prevent cookies from being included in malicious requests originating from subdomains because "site" is by definition scheme (e.g., https) plus eTLD+1 (e.g., example.com).

Example: https://subdomain.example.com can submit a malicious POST to https://example.com/delete-account and the user's session cookie would still get included in the request headers. This is why CSRF tokens are commonly employed on top of SameSite cookies as an added layer of protection.

Firstly, though I see the concept behind cash bail I don't agree with it. But people has a misconception of the likely result of removing it.

Judges now, don't need or required to use cash bails, they choose to, they can release people without cash bail now. either into the person's own recognizance, or even into the care of others.

If a judge doesn't feel the person is likely to return to their following court date, and they can't leverage financial burden as a means to insure it, they are likely just to forego the process and hold them.
amd64 was an attempt to "brand" the 64-bit version of x86, just as ia32 was an attempt to "brand" the 32-bit version of x86. Many people rejected both and just say x86 and x86-64 as generic names.

UEFI doesn't really take care of bringing up the other cores. There's a way to get access to them, but you have to give them back to UEFI before exiting boot services, so that doesn't really help your kernel. You still need to do the SIPI into x86-16 code to really take control of the AP cores.

Even the new way (that isn't actually implemented AFAIK) just SIPIs into long mode code, it doesn't use the UEFI multicore stuff.
Slightly off topic: you see in the article one with a generic Engineering title (Egor) and one with fancy massive title CEO and Co-founder (Paul), while I’m almost certain that article and the work behind done by the engineering dude yet he’s not even given a proper title -at least of external marketing- while the other is piggybacking on that work. I saw that kind of behavior a lot especially in software companies, belittling, credit taking or sharing, etc., especially in small startups for some reason.
Tape drives like LTOs use some fairly good hardware compression... believe it or not, it's significantly better than the average zip program. Depending on the data sent to the tape, it can achieve 50-60% reduction in size.

> For some reason, retail investors look at the price when buying a car, but not at the price of a company when buying a stock.

This because these are very different processes from the buyer's perspective:

A retail stock investor primarily decides to spend $x on some ticker, and then they divide $x by the current share price to determine how many shares to buy (or they buy fractional shares if their platform supports it). So they can "own" NVDA by paying whatever amount they choose.

This is the opposite from buying a car, where the buyer has to pay the full sticker price all or nothing.

> I disagree with their decision to not keep the nuclear reactors running

It wasn't their decision, the reactors had to shut down anyway for at least some years, as they are lacking fuel and an up-to-date operating permit. The remaining reactors were already running on their last ounce, and it would take some years to produce new rods at Russia, even if we ignore the political problems.

And that's even ignoring the billions(?) of euro for penalties that Germany likely had to pay in that case, because the whole shutdown was executed somewhat shaky from the old government.

I agree with your points.

There was some interview where a smart dude basically said we became enamored with the scientific method and created these strict, quantitative laws/rules/measures. Now we are trying to squeeze reality into these derivations, which is backwards.

Are there fundamental phenomenon that undergird consciousness that we are entirely unaware of? Yeah probably.

At present it's usually sent to the tape drive which does hardware data compression, hardware encryption, and then writes to the tape so it can be sent off site.

To be fair, it's the same for any right-of-center account as well. The vitriolic are engaging with opposition as much as anyone. It definitely plays in both directions.

My own take, is I'd like to see the establishment sellouts pushed out at far greater and faster rates, even though I don't necessarily agree with many positions, I don't like the corporatist sellouts and most politicians reach that point within a single term of federal office. There are grassroots efforts in both D & R camps to do just that.

That doesn't even get into the deep establishment in terms of Military Industrial Complex or Pharma/Food revolving doors in place. It's kind of gross. It's honestly at a point, that even if I'm in favor of more Libertarian solutions, while others want Socialism, most can agree, the establishment needs to go first, then can debate on longer term reforms.
Nastran simulation software

The NASTRAN system was released to NASA in 1968.

NASTRAN software application was written to help design more efficient space vehicles such as the Space Shuttle. NASTRAN was released to the public in 1971 by NASA's Office of Technology Utilization. The commercial use of NASTRAN has helped to analyze the behavior of elastic structures of any size, shape, or purpose. For example, the automotive industry uses the program to design front suspension systems and steering linkages. It is also used in designing railroad tracks and cars, bridges, power plants, skyscrapers, and aircraft.

you might also appreciate (or detest) 'b'[1][2] - a small implementation of a "fast c compiler (called b: isomorphic to c)". it has some similarities to SectorC.

"More control over memory than C" is nonsense. C allows you to do anything the machine's instruction set is capable of, all the way down to inline assembly.

Undefined behavior is a completely separate conversation. UB is necessary to output performant code. If dereferencing a null pointer were defined behavior, then the compiler would need to insert a check for every dereference, which would slow down your code.

> they can't be expected to provide free or low-cost apis across the board forever

They _could_ if it supported people building stuff that increased engagement so they could sell more ads.

I think it's mistaken to think of free-to-access APIs as something the company 'gives' to users at some cost to itself. Done well, it facilitates making the platform a richer place, where people spend more time and attention, and which is therefore more valuable. It's hard to do the attribution to definitely say k% of timeline views (and thus ad impressions) wouldn't have happened without API-dependent stuff, but that doesn't mean it's 0%.

Some categories of examples of stuff that I think formerly contributed to engagement but which would just not get built today:

- write only twitter-bots which give information on e.g. earthquakes, public transit delays, in a way which is genuinely informative, and does not enrich the author(s).

- interactive twitter bots which made twitter itself better to use. The most important in this category may have been Threader, which was ultimately acquired by twitter. But it would have been useless / never written under the new rules. Can you imagine trying to call it, and receiving no reply b/c it had exceeded its limit for the day?

- interactive twitter bots which made twitter a platform from which to do other stuff. E.g. your.flowingdata.com was a self-tracking project where you recorded information by tweeting. Treating twitter as a platform, and orienting itself around tracking routine stuff meant that using this project _required_ you to frequently engage with twitter. This was also a free offering, which wouldn't have existed under the current limits.

An ecosystem in which there are high costs to building means less stuff will be built, and the platform overall is less interesting, less compelling, less worth scrolling through an ad to see. Thinking of these APIs as just a cost center is misguided.
No need to be so bleak. Your post makes for good scifi but if you look at spaceflight today it's largest proponent is a benevolent individual that exudes empathy, not a soulless company. He is competing with another extremely empathic and very human individual whose company goes to great care in making sure it's software is hyper aware of individuals at his distribution warehouses demonstrating he too cares about the individual. In Alien the AI (or in the case of Alien Ash the android) ultimately fails the crew because it had secret programming to force it to take action based on hidden motivations, but we would never force AI to have guard rails or generate results based on secret/agenda driven requirements in it's programming. We've known since 2001 A Space Odyssey not to do that and it's a very recurring theme we have thought about and is like the one basic agreement we should never do with AI. Maybe in 2000 years we'll forget and do something crazy with AI but for now we are good.

Spaceflight is in good compassionate hands. AI is in good hands and will never be told to lie/manipulate. Gene editing is not another genie being let out of the bottle. Alien really doesn't have a message relevant to today's realities.
Imo that would leave Italy and Spain and their respective union members in the dust competing against the US, China and India.
