DocuSign is a very weak signing system: signatures it produces are forgeable by anyone getting even a temporary access to an email (eg sitting on an unlocked computer or grabbing an unlocked phone), and the graphical part is something anyone can't replicate twice, unless you use one of their fonts making it even more easily forgeable. I don't even remember seeing an option to say that a particular email should always use a specific form (eg drawing of a signature).

Basically, compared to hand-written signatures, they are strictly less secure and a demonstration of how technology makes forgery easier.

How did he manage to keep everyone else awake? Was he snoring? I also agree that earplugs and a sleep mask are essential while traveling, just due to how much more important sleep becomes as a means of recovering from stress as well as the unpredictability of the circumstances in which one will be sleeping.

21 years ago: "It is difficult enough already to engage Gabriel in a discussion of security or Digital Rights Management, and spelling Microsoft M-dollar sign is probably the best way I can think of to get your mail deleted. He might even have a rule that does it now, I haven't asked. When Ross Anderson penned his now famous Palladium FAQ, which reads somewhere between a toaster manual and grim speculative fiction, you will note that he never deploys the dollar sign, because he would like to be taken seriously."

you think meta is offering oculus devices at cost or as a loss leader?

So Brainfuck would be an acceptable choice for a language to use?

My point is that there are extremes here that are worth considering: and Perl is on the bad side of any exchange involving the question of readability. The community doesn't help, either: they're as bad as the Rust Evangelism Strike Force, but in different ways.
It's not so difficult to do, it's difficult to get people to do it.

Some of perl's features use syntax which is either very concise or uses implied operations or operands. Things like regexes, sorting, subroutine arguments, special variables can all be used in a manner which makes things more cryptic. In many instances you can be explicit (for instance with arguments):

my ($filename, $data_ref) = @_;

Rather than , randomly in code somewhere:

my $filename = shift;

If you cannot express something more explicitly in syntax to be clear you really should be using comments to elaborate.

Arguably this problem is the same across all languages. The issue with perl is that the brevity and flexibility of the language can exacerbate the grief one experiences when working with unfamiliar code.
From the article it looks like the dowry is a form of extortion - keep us well paid or something bad will happen to your daughter.
Not professional experience (I wasn't paid to build stuff on it), no, just hobby use (of earlier version of L4, L4Ka::Pistachio, and QNX once they started opening up before selling to RIM).

I believe you the developer experience was years behind Linux. That doesn't invalidate my claim that microkernels are interesting (and that these two are innovative), unless your pain was explicitly due to the microkernel nature of things.
Because with the exception of very few tasks like digital art the limitations placed on iOS make it worse. Some tasks are just straight up impossible (e.g compiling code), others are just hampered by things like file management and sandboxing or lack of support for hardware/accessories. Sometimes they can be worked around but often it's an exercise in frustration to do something that would be brain-dead on a desktop OS but requires a whole host of taps and trips through the share menu or whatever to get the same result.

Even in digital art where the iPad excels doing something like having a reference photo open while you work is compromised and the only good way to do is to hope the app you're using supports it a reasonable way or else throw away half your screen real estate.
What I've heard is that it was to ensure that a household was set up for success. Similar to the idea of a hope chest - a girl would assemble all the necessary linen components a house would need by sewing them herself. Once she had accumulated the requisite skills and equipment to run a household, she'd be eligible for marriage.
If the old man told Weiss what he was feeling we wouldn’t get the artistry of his rumination.

It’s like the student who hates the exercise of inferring authorial intent and ascribing situations and plots as metaphors in high school English. The point isn’t to KNOW the authors intent. The point is to understand what it means to YOU!

You’re both right. This piece was about a sad old man. This piece makes us ponder our unknowable connections and the loss of dignity in suffering and old age.

This piece can mean many things to many people. That’s what makes it good.
>> Maybe he also had a job to do?

Yeah, he had a second job, that's what he had. In parallel to running a brick and store business (set up a bar and organized events).
But none of those are actual issues with shops that are writing JS today (Literally: Zero items on that list).

> Use of == does not do what it does in almost every other language, but won't flag an error if a user thinks if does. Instead very difficult to track bugs will be introduced.

"==" does basically what it should... (I also avoid it, but it makes a perverted kind of sense for easing into programming) and the bugs introduced aren't difficult to track at all: literally find and replace "==" with "===" resolve places that became too strict, then make it a lint rule.

>Calling nonexistent object keys won't flag an error but return None. I've seen this lead to weird errors that are hard to find a lot of times.

This... is basic dictionary behavior across SO MANY LANGUAGES. Frankly - having worked with languages that make a missing key an exception (looking at you C#/C++) I'd take the JS route any day.

> - Duck typing in a lot of operators like + and - can create unexpected results.

Yes. This is programming. Have you seen Ruby (or python - or god help you custom operator implementations in c++)? Because holy fuck is JS reasonable as all get here when compared to some other popular languages.

----

> I obviously can't speak for anyone else, but I think those are the kind of things most people are referring to when they talk about js having problematic foundations.

Basically - Look: I agree JS has some warts. Literally every language does. I just really don't see those warts as deserving of FUD around foundational problems that so many people talk about.
It's t̶u̶r̶t̶l̶e̶s̶ understanding all the way down.
The impact of this has been felt for more than a decade now. Many of my friends had trouble finding brides, despite being nothing wrong with them - as a result, some of my friends were never married and are in their 40s now. It is absolutely terrible and gut-wrenching to see this Darwinism in action, as if we are wildlife. The people who are responsible for this are all considered "decent" people in society. The values, the customs are from another era, and are not fit for anyone living in modern era. All my Indian friends, please gain some perspective and recognize the ills of "customs" too, along with the good that comes with it. The country and the world will be better for it.
The site is surprisingly fast. It's unlikely I'll use it since I'm not an early adopter of social media, but I do like that it's fast. The animations are slow, which could be changed, but each page loads fast.
Yes, there's a very real conflict of interest between their line of business and the level of control they have over the web, and they've not proven themselves willing to abstain from inappropriately leveraging that control.
That's a good idea. I think upvoting can still work though particularly if the platform can use your upvotes to infer what kind of content you like and give you more of that.
I'm so sorry...

Isn't that exactly what's happening with limiting the sulfur output of ships?
As someone inexperienced (as compared to friends and colleagues who do this for a living on much bigger projects) with formally verifying software for correctness I have similar thoughts on the matter.

When it matters that the answer is correct with regards to a specification you need to be very precise with your specification. We would like to be able to have a genie in a bottle, so to speak, that can take our ill-formed thoughts and "do what we mean," but if you cannot state your specifications precisely you should expect that any program implemented is going to be, "kind of right some times."

However, an LLM is going to be severely hampered at proving that it's solution is correct with regards to such a specification when it comes to software. As you demonstrate with your series of prompts it can't discern the truth of an expression by reading more input. It's all "meaningless" in a certain sense to the LLM: highly contextual, interconnected meaninglessness.

I think it will take more work in this area for a future model, possibly based on LLMs, to be able to reason with axioms and deduction; to "know" when it should derive an expression to make the following reasoning more clear to future readers, etc.

In some ways it is much like a genie... if you don't give it a precise specification then any program could be correct in some way. In a sense you get what you wish for.

Italy took the bullet straight in the heart, and Berlusconi is the very reason for the rebirth of fascists and the far right in Italy.
That's a symptom of trying to rewrite white stories and stick black people into them. It's the same process as trying to rewrite male stories with female protagonists. It's the creation of fictional pasts. If all we see is fictional pasts where black people are just white people with tans, and women are just pretty men, what are black people and women complaining about? They should have just tried harder.
That's like comparing a 40 hour day job, which has poor compensation, to the robbers who "earn" a lot. Sure, currency operating adhering fully to law has a "competition" of a lawless token alternative. But unless you are a true libertarian or an ancap, I doubt you consider the absence of laws "an alternative" to anything.
Strangely that it worked well with the vast majority of other team members, except for liars and scum who couldn't even handle properly having multiple jobs and not giving a fuck.
They seem to have gone the route of “just stop paying the bills”
Does the dowry get paid after the marriage? Why wouldnt' it be paid at the time of the marriage? Or do they keep asking for money?
Yeah, i was a little afraid of an iphone or ipad mini level of compute, was happy to see that this thing can run untethered with some actual muscle under the hood.

Great example how AI can be given few partially opposing constraints and told "find me a common subset that fully satisfies both". This thing would take a person weeks of tweaking to get right.
I can't wait for Apple's Wearable Macbook I mean the Vision Pro.
The very first anecdote has the women committing a particularly vicious killing (and being acquitted!) of an innocent woman because her dowry (which benefited the killers) was considered inadequate so there are some pretty powerful cultural forces at work here that are very difficult to grasp for the average HN reader. China also has a different sort of problem with a worse gender imbalance, giving us two terrible test cases from an outsider's point of view.
One downside though is that people generally love an excuse to avoid change or avoid additional effort. “It’s not real, so we don’t have to do anything” is functionally equivalent to “it’s already too late, so why bother doing anything”
I'm not going to argue with the creed or the idea. I'm just going to note that replacing your phone, as per their page, replaces one brick of glass with:

- Pen & Paper

- Flashlight

- MP3 Player

- Camera

- Watch

- Paper / Laminated Maps (arguably, a boring GPS could replace this)

Not listed, but they also replace:

- Audio Recorder

- Radio (news, weather, emergency alerts)

- Magnifying glass/binoculars

- Compass (To go with the maps, especially if you don't use a standalone GPS device)

- Calculator (arguably not necessary, agreed)

- Measuring tape

- Fidget Toy

It's always fascinating to me how much a smartphone phone saves us from carrying.

EDIT: If your goal is to reduce how much your phone can interrupt you or demand your attention, might I suggest turning off all (ALL all) notifications. It's a lot easier to be intentional about your phone use when it can't make a grab for your attention.
I was developing stuff to be shown inside the headset that wouldn't have worked in the simulator, so I was frequently using the headset regardless. It was often easier to just leave it on and develop than constantly put it on and take it off to test things out.

As for development of non-VR stuff I personally didn't because I already had a fully-featured desk setup and the OS at the time was buggy enough to not want to deal with it (as every OS is years before release, not a ding on Vision Pro at all). With a good OS (which it will be upon release) and more native apps (like Termius on iPad) I definitely would though!
Nice work!

Exactly. Apple's lack of contribution to the internet ecosystem exactly aligns with their profit motive: Selling hardware.

Google's involvement in the internet ecosystem exactly aligns with their profit motive: Putting relevant ads in front of individuals based upon data they've gleaned from relatively "un-sexy" sources like search, analytics, libraries, font hosting, email, chat, etc.

I'm not opposed to companies making a profit. I try, however, to keep in mind conflicts of interest when choosing my sources of information. Everything anyone at Google says about the web is suspect because that is a conflict of interest. Google, as an organization, exists to turn web traffic into profit and should always be considered accordingly.
I take it these are percentages of all complaints? Because the number of complaints for anti-Jewish hate crimes was 116 in 2020, but 198 in 2021, so a definite increase, but hate crime overall basically doubled as well, so the relative amount to the total is lower.
What other features does TypeScript have? Genuinely curious, I haven't used TS much so I'm probably missing a bunch.
Thank you for your warm words and detailed description of your experience. It seems to me that the problem with microbus rides in their current form is the low comfort level, and it's not nearly as convenient as having a personal car or a taxi. Initially, I was working on a task to take the convenience and comfort of a personal taxi as a base and come up with a way to efficiently transport multiple passengers at once.
it would be very useful to know whether or not you believe "hate" and "violence" have been recently redefined/had their definitions expanded, because this is the lynchpin of my entire argument, and you kind of keep dodging it, which allows you to now frame my assertion that these definitions have changed as being something that only a small subset of the population buys into. continuing to dodge this is either naïve or disingenuous—because it means that you're either claiming or feigning (respectively) ignorance about this topic, which is central to the claims made by the study, in the context in which it is being made.

Show HN: Chatsimple, AI virtual agent platform for digital sales
Hello HN! I’m Hao, previously of Google's chatbot builder Dialogflow. I left to build Chatsimple, a round-the-clock AI assistant designed to help small and medium-sized businesses better engage with their customers and drive digital sales.
I've seen the transformative impact of AI in large enterprises, and I believe smaller businesses should also have access to these benefits. That's why we've created Chatsimple, using advanced AI technology to answer customer queries instantly, day or night, directing users toward their desired outcomes and boosting conversions.
Our focus is to serve the likes of startups, independent creators, and small e-commerce businesses who could benefit greatly from this automated assistant.
An interesting insight: our data suggest that digital product prospects who interact through messages are ten times more likely to become paying customers.
Let me know what you think!

I've been in America only once while overnighting in a hotel near LAX en-route to New Zealand from the UK.

Everything I ate at that hotel tasted sweet from the pizza I ordered that night to the toast I had in the morning. What should have been delicious and savoury was instead sickening and unpleasant - it was so weird.
It's been suggested to state things in terms of 9/11/2001 for Americans who don't understand the distaste in such discussions. E.g. each "Hiroshima" would be worth 65 "9/11/2001"s. The scale of the graph's Y-axis would run from 195 to 585 "9/11/2001"s.

Derivation: Hiroshima: 129,000–226,000 deaths. E(death_Hiroshima) ~= 180k. 9/11/2011, NYC: 2,753 people died. 180k/2753 ~= 65.
Dignity being manifested through work is more of a Western illness, informed by Protestant Ideology and all of its accompanying baggage. Many other societies have roles for the elderly that do not require them to be service workers and all the corresponding degradation and abuse that comes along with it. And I say this as someone who spent many years in these kinds of jobs and found them in no way to be wholesome, engaging, or dignified.

At least in the American context, people are remarkably rude and demanding to those who they deem beneath them, which is most often determined by the jobs they perform, how much money they have, etc. Assuming someone is miserable in these jobs may not always be correct, but it’s also not in anyway improbable. I and all my coworkers certainly were.

It is a legitimate opinion and not censorious that if you are going and telling people to take ivermectin for covid you are legitimately harming people.

Having that attitude is not "a problem", having opinions on dumb stuff people say is not censorious.

This new interpretation that freedom of speech means freedom from having people criticize you is novel.
I love the options they give you to "disable" this.

There's a toggle for "Enhance images for all sites" which if enabled gives them the URL of every image you view, but if you disable that, you're still allowing MS to "Enhance" images and collect data on some sites. MS could for example still collect data on every other image you see. Then MS gives you boxes where you can enter the sites you don't want them to enhance images on, which I'm sure they collect via telemetry anyway.

What's missing, and actually needed to prevent data collection, is a "Do NOT enhance images for ANY site" option which MS does not provide.

What were the factors that had hoe-based agriculture be "women's work"? One would imagine that the increased strength and endurance of men for physical labour would have resulted in the opposite: when you have the plough and the dray horse, farming is less dependent on physical stature.

The idea of which direction the money was paid being related to the perceived productive output of the woman does make sense. It's the other part of the argument that isn't so obvious to me.

I can look it up, etc. but if you happen to have the links available from history that would speed things up for me. Much appreciated.
The US has chosen to pursue population growth, largely through immigration, as a route towards short-term economic growth. Things like overloaded infrastructure (more expensive housing, longer commutes on overcrowded streets, etc) are some of the consequences of that choice.
