It's funny: for all I knew when reading the post, UTF-21 was something I'd never seen before. But when I saw your comment, I remembered that I must have been quite aware of it back in 2015, when I golfed a Funciton Hello World program [0]. Seven years is a long time for such a silly thing to circle around again.

> I'd say that "character length" for database field size is a weird concept

Until you want a constraint for such a column. From a business perspective, you would limit the column to a specific number of characters, not bytes
I’ve been banned on multiple subreddits because I wrote that I don’t think children should be medically altered for “sexual transition.” I’m fine with adults making that decision, but not kids. I was respectful, but firm. This is one of those “left ideology” issues, compounded by a new left ideology issue: authoritarian censorship.
You can experience that today by visiting 4chan.

Who are you to say what is and isn’t major trauma?
> I'm sought after as an individual contributor, but I will never be in management unless I manage to kick my German use up a couple of levels.

In international companies, especially US ones, this shouldn't be an issue. It may be even be an advantage, because there tend to be conflicts between the German business and the US mother, and the Germans need someone who can talk to US people on the same level while representing the German business.
Note you still didn't answer or provide any evidence of "Safety Engineering" from Mercedes. Just the usual Tesla trolling.

AI is the approach that Tesla, Waymo, Nvidia, Cruise, Comma, and even Mercedes are taking. So to ask the question one last time (third time lucky) - How is Mercedes validating the data they use for training without "Testing in Prod" as you criticise Tesla for.

Either: They aren't, in which case your whole rant on the lack of "Safety Engineering" at Tesla is moot, because Mercedes is rolling out essentially untested AI systems.

OR

They are validating their data in real life just like Tesla do, in which case your whole rant on the lack of "Safety Engineering" at Tesla is moot, because Mercedes is just as bad and supposedly have "Safety Engineering" in your opinion.

This is why I keep asking, and this is why you keep not answering.
If Apple one day said they were pulling the plug on macOS and force-installed Windows on everyone’s computer, people would complain! That’s the level of user-hostile disruption we’re dealing with here.
Thanks for this. Read parts 1 and 2 and I wish you could still get a konbini bento for 500 yen ;-;
Should things be abstracted one step further such that the REST endpoint class merely relays the right params to a Service class. So not much to test anyway (I’m not a 100% code coverage person, I test where it makes the most sense).

This way your service can be accessed via REST as well as any other type of endpoint if you wanted (gRPC, SOAP, RMI, CORBA, etc). Defeats the point of this project but this approach has saved me a lot of work in the past when switching RPC stacks.
Projects that follow semver in theory often don't actually follow it so why would we expect everyone else to?
I just used shreddit to wipe out all my comments and posts. It actually felt quite liberating. Then I did the same thing on Imgur using Redact. Now I'm contemplating doing the same thing on every other site ;-)

Does it, or is it just some tech companies?

I wish the media would stop treating the biggest, most notable orgs as the whole industry. They’re the tip of a very large iceberg.

Yes, not every company or every role is going to go 100% remote, but there’s been a seismic shift since the pandemic that isn’t going to be undone.
A fuel cell has far less raw material needs than a li-ion battery. All of those things you described are less expensive than the comparable grid infrastructure. It is ten times cheaper to move hydrogen around than electricity: https://www.brinknews.com/could-hydrogen-replace-the-need-fo...

It is pure Ludditism because you are refusing to accept the possibility of technological progress. Some of which already exist. As renewable energy scales up, it will approach the marginal cost of zero. We even see negative price electricity at times. As a result, hydrogen could also approach zero cost.

$0.02/kWh is fully possible and is already realistic now: https://cleantechnica.com/2020/08/30/new-record-low-solar-pr...

You are the one living in the past. Imagine thinking that a fuel made from water can never catch on. This is so deep into BEV brainwashing it will be eventually talked about in the same way as bloodletting.
Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but if Reddit doesn't backtrack what's the endgame here? I've seen multiple subs indicate they intend to fully shutdown if the API changes continue, but for the popular ones what's to stop Reddit from just appointing new mods and starting the sub back up?
I think there are a few factors why both under-employed groups exist and we don't see the invisible hand creating upstarts consisting of old black women dominating their industry.

Many people, even those making hiring decisions, aren't in the entreprenuerial min/max hustle culture. Those employers will consider factors other than skills and the lowest agreeable wage. People tend to like other people similar to themselves so that leaves various undesirables unemployed longer.

The set of potential employers is sometimes limited, especially in the before times when people would only look for work for up to about an hour commute from where they live. Also filter employers down to an industry/skillset. Then filter by employers with openings that coincide when an applicant is looking for a job. Consider two dental technicians in a rural area that start looking for a job on the same day. If one of the three dentists in the region has a preference for some protected class, then the "wrong" applicant may be job hunting for a while longer.

There are also some jobs with tangible incentives for discrimination. Any role that benefits from sex appeal can favor young, attractive females. Jobs that are physically demanding can favor young and fit men.
There is a CRC so it's not as easy at it sounds.
Scrolling and seeing all of the green here makes me so happy that so many people can come together to do something they believe in. Brings me back to early internet. Very very very cool.
This is some amazing damage control well done
Reference the statement that several employees were ill in the months leading up to the outbreak, these were tested and (reportedly) did not have Covid antibodies - this also seems to be missing from the article.
Imagine paying to access a site that can ban you for posting an opinion that a random moderator disagrees with.
None of what I wrote impacts the CRC calculation.
Arithmetic compression uses whatever on the output. Of course you can retokenize weird input but you can usually do so for any algo if you can modify it. But UTF21 can not have a substantial advantage if you compress. It will usually be worse.

Fuel cells are not combustion engines. They are electrochemical systems. Their theoretical efficiency is the same as li-ion batteries.

And this is why it is a 100% guarantee that they will displace li-ion batteries. Why on Earth would anyone choose a very expensive and unsustainable battery technology when there is another system that is just as good but does not have any of those weaknesses? It's pure BEV brainwashing that people even think that way. So my advice to you is stop believing in these lies and accept that cars of the future will be hydrogen powered.
UPnP could be enabled on your NAT, but probably not, because it comes with certain security considerations. If you take most used networks globally – which are the cellular carrier networks, they won't let you do it. The point is about these techniques – you can't fully eliminate guesswork about whether specific NAT will be traversed or not for arbitrary peers, so the relay is mandatory to do it. If you're fine with only some part of the audience getting connected to your stream, and some not – you can go full P2P, otherwise the server-less claim is too bold.

400-600 ms is certainly not a "real conversation" experience, yet getting close to it. Speaking more realistically, the latencies spread would be much more broad depending on the peers' geography in a true P2P mesh. So with a part of the audience closer to streamer, the conversation can become more real indeed, but for those further away, it will be increasingly more choppy.

If you don't need to negotiate again, how do you know which new socket to send bytes to? Is it some kind of a wizard, this NICER?

> Think about it

Did you consider that maybe the reason this proposal was written was because this mutation was the most likely way this kind of virus could mutate to infect humans?

I don’t understand why people keep throwing around all kind of unsubstantiated facts like if they suddenly made things clearer.

The facts are not that complicated. Could the pandemic be linked to an accidental leak from a gain-of-function study at the Wuhan lab? Most certainly. Do we have evidence that it did? No, we don’t. Could it come from somewhere else? Sure, it can. Was there a properly done inquiry with full collaboration from the lab and the host country? Absolutely not, China was extremely uncooperative and did all it could to control the narrative surrounding the pandemic.

From that, I conclude that it’s highly unlikely we will ever learn anything definitive. Therefor, discussing this is pretty much pointless.
Or maybe different times? I’m guessing you aren’t in the states?
It's against the site rules to accuse other users of being shills in this way. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't do this again. Instead, if someone is wrong or you feel they are, please explain how they are wrong and provide correct information without taking swipes.

For a longer explanation of why we don't allow this, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35932851 and https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

Thats not really a “solution”. In fact, it is almost a given — it is essentially the point of the thought experiment. It forces us to recognize that identity is subjective. In some sense it is a counter argument to the Platonic idea of forms.

It becomes really interesting however when you apply it to self-identity and question of a soul. Is there a “self” or is it an illusion? Perhaps there are some things in reality for which this ship analogy does hold?
This probably seemed like a good idea to everyone but I absolutely hate everyone partaking in this now. I was previously on the "fuck reddit" side but this has eroded all of my goodwill.

Frustrating the people you want to support you rarely works.
I don't know about this argument. "Everyone else is doing it so there are no alternatives." I believe less in this argument every year.

* There are alternatives. Like for me it's Mastodon, IRC, SDF and the Tildes. Now there's this thing Lemmy bouncing around out there which is a straight up federated clone of Reddit. Are they all kind of different from Reddit yeah, are they smaller yeah, so what? The alternative is you can go help make them better. You can help create.

* None of this stuff is essential for life, work etc. Reddit is not an essential service. So why would it be such a big deal if you totally changed your media consumption habits to basically anything, like let's say just start reading one newsletter from one publisher you think is ethical, and that's it. Seems fine to me. Your world will keep on turning. You'll get more fresh air.

* I just don't feel that what the masses are doing is such a huge issue. Fuck em. I read stuff on and participate in a bunch of little communities now, still use Reddit too but will never use their app, I would absolutely survive if Reddit disappeared tomorrow.

Not trying to pick on you btw, just trying to address the mindset of "<insert dickhead Internet site here> has all the users and therefore is the only option." I just feel like this is all much ado about nothing. Reddit's not a big deal. Let it burn, let it shine, let it do whatever, life's gonna go on and as humans we're creative so if they suck we'll find better things to do.
> If Air India wants to risk sanctions, whereby their entire fleet loses access to new planes, engines, parts and servicing, sure.

I highly doubt that because these kind of sanctions given with absolute bullshit reason would really hurt west's claim of being better. Even the Russia's sanctions is going really badly for Europe and west is not in a good time to extend their arms further. Also China is developing its own airplane and now is definitely not a great time to encourage other countries which don't have good relation with west.

This is not true. I've been building a site with Sveltekit and Appwrite for fun. I know nothing about these technologies. ChatGPT has saved me hours of messing around and I haven't needed SO once. It doesn't always give me the best answer first, sure. It's an iterative process, which all software development is anyway.
I'm a sw eng, but at university I attended a pair of economics courses, more than 10yo. I remember teacher talked about the API economy, how everything would connect and flow through APIs, and I thought why a company would have given their data away for free and keeping the burden of the API infrastructure.
Now API crackdown is real, green walled gardens are everywhere.
The problem with an annotation for that is it causes people to keep transactions open for too long. It's best practice in DB programming to keep tx's open for as short a time as possible. The longer it's open the more scope for deadlocks and contention. So we never use it in our prod code. We've put all the boiler plate code for creating the transaction, error handling, retires, etc in a helper function that takes a lambda as a param (that being the code to run in the tx). That way you can only wrap the code that needs to be in the tx, without copying and pasting all the boiler plate everywhere.
People who experiment on their friends like this quickly run out of friends.
Wrong. It solves it completely if you wanted to. This is Ludditism, pure and simple.

Wrong. We have been doing this for decades. This is a solved problem. You are utterly misinformed here.
They said not to use them because there was a shortage of PPE.

From Wikipedia.

> In 1996, a surrogate character mechanism was implemented in Unicode 2.0, so that Unicode was no longer restricted to 16 bits. This increased the Unicode codespace to over a million code points,

So that seems like a fair analysis. I know we still did latin-1 DBs here into 2005, but I think you had to choose charsets at that point. Everyone knew you should do Unicode but there were so many excusese not to. Unicode still is harder than ascii because of that mindset.

For social activity, the return to non-media comes to mind . . .
The biggest loss from homeworking is the learning element for newer or more junior staff. Many of the learn the job by watching, listening or being shown in person. You can still do it remotely but it's way more difficult. The benefits of bouncing ideas off one another is also gone, that can affect creativity. Talking to each other, arguin, breaking down ideas or processes, drawing quick diagrams or knocking up a prototype. Most of that spontaneity is gone and for a company that tells on innovation it's a huge loss. The other important thing lost is the personal development of the employee. The social interaction with others. Having to deal with people and learning, changing adapting any really be done online. If you're an introvert, WFH is perfect for you and you'll never change.

Clearly there are benefits, especially for people with families,or a long commute. Hiring is also made easier.

I don't think a blanket return to work is what's needed, a more targeted appropriate one might be though, identify who's presence is required and pay them commensurately to be in the office. Working from home gets you less but you get the flexibility.
That is exactly how the systems of capitalism play out in real life. As the old adage goes, competition is for losers.
Sorry but I don't understand the question!
They complement each other well IMO. Nocedal & Wright focus more on algorithmic details and methods that can be applied to nonconvex problems. Boyd & Vandenberghe focus more on convex analysis and showing how some non-obvious problems can be expressed in convex form.

B&V might be more useful as an "extended user's manual" for convex optimization software. I would guess that most readers of N&W are writing their own solvers, or at least want to know what all the tolerances mean in their third-party solver's bewildering list of parameters.
Why do you jail fentanyl addicts and not alcoholics?
Because if you give employees exactly what they "like", then they'll eventually want to be paid without doing any work.

And if you give companies exactly what they want, then they'll eventually want talented people to work for them for free.

So the two groups meet in the middle usually - depending on how competitive the job market it.
They should be hunted down.

As a coder with a past in the 1990s demoscene, I've started to understand the MOD file format - a low-level format closely linked to the Commodore Amiga's hardware architecture. Now, three decades later, I've decided to construct a MOD player using JavaScript. I navigated through a lot of unofficial specifications, some dating back to the 90s, and dived into the intricacies of this file format.

This article shows how to load a MOD file into memory, using the Fetch API, and handling the file parsing through object-oriented JavaScript. I also show how to play the individual samples from a MOD file, using an audio worklet. The goal? To accurately reproduce music from the classic demos "Arte" by Sanity and "Enigma" by Phenomena. Follow me on this deep dive into retro tech.

I’ve never seen Reddit the company as valuable. People are valuable, and they just happen to gather on Reddit. If Reddit goes away they will gather somewhere else.
When Stack Overflow refers to "moderators" it is referring to the people who have a diamond after their name who were elected as part of a moderator election.

These individuals are mostly doing things like stoping fights in comments, locking (not closing) posts that have debates on them, and investigating vote collusion so that people can't boost their rep from an alt (or coworker or spouse). On smaller sites (not everything is Stack Overflow) moderators are often involved in guiding new users as you can read all the posts from a day in a few minutes - for example Academia gets about 7 questions per day (Stack Overflow gets that many each minute). They also often run anti-spam tools.

Most actions that close questions (especially as duplicates), edit posts, ask questions in comments are from other community users (not moderators) who have rep from contributing to the site. Again, these are not moderators. Some members of the community have more of an interest to curate it to fit their ideal of what the site should look like (and that's a debate that goes back a long way).

It is the diamond moderatos who are going on strike. Some of the community are also further abstaining from doing things (answering questions, closing questions, doing reviews).

So the claim that it is the moderators that are going through and checking things and insisting that they are of the right form is misplaced. Moderators are rarely involved in dealing with the quality or content of a post unless that is brought to their attention by other users and there is a substantial problem with it (e.g. the person is posting with every variable name as a vulgarity and rolling back any attempts to edit it).
Also not sure the diffusion model has been taught yet that it could in some cases choose to deliberately ignore a (small) fraction of some of the elements/blocks, if it helps with composition.

Or even better just wire up a QR decoder to the loop and automatically reject images that don't decode correctly, and let the model sort out how far it can go.

I've had an account on Reddit for 17 years. Steve Huffman being dishonest and manipulative is who he is. Seems to me that the board is OK with him being dishonest and manipulative because if they had a problem with that sort of thing, he would not be CEO and Reddit would be a different sort of place.
