You are both misunderstanding the post.

He’s not saying to alter any of the feature flags used for the test, but simply to record which were used during the test.

Simply logging doesn’t introduce any of the issues you are describing.
Interestingly, I never hear this about TripAdvisor or Google / Google Maps...
What exactly do you do with the publicity? You're a B2B company. I've never heard of someone calling up Safeway and asking if they use SafeGuards Trucking over RideHighOrDie Trucking. Literally zero incentive.
Agreed. An even from a more trivial perspective, I overwhelmingly prefer to lose my right of way and 3' of my day rather than fork out thousands in body job on my car.
This is how it works for small vs. large business in ANY skilled/professional field, whether we're talking lawyers, accountants, engineers, whatever. If you want employees to stay, then incentivize them accordingly. If that means that junior MDs make low W2 and then that ramps up as they gain experience, that seems reasonable to me! Anything else is fundamentally not fair.
how is that different from rust? or is rust a cpp successor?
I would correct that to *chasing the top can be rational under certain assumptions.

The worse the inequality gets in society, the more rational it is to chase the top, in fact - specifically for women. As I wrote in another comment, it can be better to be the Nth wife of a prince rather than the first wife of a commoner (if you're optimizing for the survival/fitness of your offspring, albeit unconsciously).
It has no controller, you can't game on it
They're all facts - just try debunking any of them
I think GP was referring to the Unix System Services, which give you a Unix (z/OS is a certified UNIX operating system!) environment. If you are interacting with the machine on a 3270 session, it'll be any of a number of command-line or menu-driven environments (3270's are screen oriented terminals that send entire pages back and forth). The fun part is that z/OS is almost the least Unix-like operating system imaginable - even the concept of files and directories is alien to it.
Massive regression on the latter, early computers and '80s stereo amplifiers came with schematics in the manual - what happened?
Maybe because the lab is located where the virus is abundant?
apparently pandoc also supports pptx

so you can tell GPT4 to output markdown, then use pandoc to convert that markdown to pptx or pdf.
Only today did I spot any poll in the ones I visit regularly, and they voted to stay open for even the initial blackout. Seems like it was mostly mod decisions in the first place.
Correct, ~75% of homeless people are "invisibly homeless", don't have drug use issues, aren't criminals, take showers and don't practice antisocial behaviors. The problem is that the 25% of homeless who are drug addicts and are extremely anti social completely destroy the system for everyone else. We don't have a good vocabulary for this. The issue is that the street campers at the library were meth heads who shit in the street, screamed at each other in the middle of the night, and caused a huge amount of disruption for the people who live near the library (I live 1 block away from here). We need to have far less tolerance for anti social behaviors in SF, including within permanently supportive housing and nightly shelters. The other issue is that when you spend a ton of money to support the invisibly homeless folks, and tolerate the anti social chronically homeless, you create a giant magnet that pulls in drug users and anti social homeless from the nearby communities and state and you become the dumping ground for everyone's chronically homeless. It is not my problem as a resident of SF to pay for the permanent supportive housing of a chronically homeless meth head from Humbolt county who moved here for a 700 dollar monthly check, reliable street sleeping, passive police force, and steady supply of drugs.
I am/was a long-time colemak user, too. Most keyboard layouts I've found I learn about 1wpm per hour of dedicated typing practice. Qwerty is really bad, but I don't have trouble typing on it, no. I can switch between layouts easily if I have to. I can type one or two more layouts around 30-50wpm as well. I don't have any difficulty using a regular keyboard no, but typing individual letters kind of feels like a scam now.

This system for the shortcuts is only a few hours. A lot of it is phonetic, and the numbers are in binary. Numpad is binary + *, and function keys are binary + r.

So if you know binary and can hold one of three extra keys, you now have three ways to do numbers and the only difference is one key.

Shift+num works for punctuation too, so you don't really need to know all the punctuation shortcuts. You just need to remember what they are on a regular keyboard and then its just sh+binary.

The other things you'd need to know are how letters work (the ones not shown), and the shortcut combinations, but there are not that many of those, and they stack on top of each other visually.

You'd just need a 10-key keyboard, or toggle plover on and off to use this dictionary.

If you mean the rest of plover/steno, its a drastically higher learning curve and is basically a hobby for me. Just being able to fingerspell (type single letters) is learning another keyboard layout. But this combines several of my interests, so its not bad for me.

Learning wise, I am a huge Supermemo fan, so I just use that to memorize/review the stuff that needs it beyond learning the theory (which I also review in Supermemo). Most people would use Anki or Mochi.
FWIW, I had a hard time determining the source of a spike of traffic today because it had no referrer. It ended up being from HN, coming from some auxiliary discussion happening on a run-of-the-mill comment I made. I saw the rel=noreferrer on my link and was curious if it was new (because I had always remembered seeing HN referrals), and it was.

I personally like the referrer. People will always complain, and you shouldn't feel too inclined to please or slight people like this who are openly hostile to the HN community.

But you do what you think is best for HN, of course. Just my $0.2.

Photo editing is an art and a technical skill all on its own. A print with a separate photographer and editor has two artists, not one.
Great point

My personal theory is that anything you can run on a computer is Turing complete

Essentially any algorithm needs an interpreter that runs it

So if your algorithm runs on a computer, then in includes the whole computer

Like if you are truly statically linking code, it should include the whole computer with it

And that system is most definitely Turing complete

So probably when a complex enough algorithm runs on a computer, it might be big enough that you need a significant part of the abstractions of the computer system itself to explain the behavior of the algorithm, so the algorithm ends up including the requirements for Turing completeness
This is the crux of the problem and why free moderation doesn't scale. Communities simply can't exceed a particular size without attracting chuds, and smaller communities self regulate because "being a member" of something useful is valuable.

Online discussions communities since Usenet always suffer the same problem. They become useful, attract too many users of the wrong kind and die. Reddit will be no exception.
They were wrong; it's all from the Proto-Indo-Europeans.
Fortunately, if you avoided listening to environmentalists, transit advocates, and people with children and bought a high ride-height vehicle like a Dodge Ram 1500, your vehicle will be tall enough to actually contact the truck or trailer without a decapitation!

Pickups and SUVs are way safer, guys. Up to you what you do with the information.

OTOH if we knew that China was responsible, won't the future be better served by putting safeguards to prevent a worse thing happening again?
I liked the Napoleon joke, but I was not sure what the author’s point was until an HN user eloquently wrote a closer as a comment.

Going on a tangent, it was also hard to take his Ross Perot comment seriously. Perot had one political goal: reduce and end the deficit so that we can keep our debt level sane. His campaign is what caused GH Bush to lose a 2nd term to Bill Clinton. It’s also what drove the fleeting bipartisan obsession with minimizing the deficit until GW Bush’s ascension, where budgets ballooned for national security
There are some strong arguments to be made for disambiguating identifiers from semantics.

Hacker News is interesting in that it somewhat splits the difference. Post and comments are both represented by "itemID" (and there's no distinction between What Is a Post and What Is a Comment that can be made simply based on the contentID). For example, I'm currently replying to itemID 36329954.

But profile identifiers are semantically-sensible strings. In your case "blehn", in mine, "dredmorbius".

(There may well be, and all but certainly is, an internal userID or similar, but it's not exposed at least through the Web interface, I've not looked at the API in detail for this.)

This means, amongst other things, that it's possible to traverse all extant HN posts either sequentially (beginning with <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1>) or randomly (say, by generating a list and sorting it randomly, or by algorithmically calculating itemIDs without repetition).

Google+ did this for both posts and profile IDs, assigning each what appeared to be a hash, which was not sequential, and was sparsely filled. Profile names / labels could be reassigned independently of that identifier (with limits as to how frequently this was allowed), and multiple profiles with the same name were permitted, addressing the "John Smith" or "Maria Gonzalez" problems (commonly-occurring names where all but the first-arriving party must choose something different). It was not possible to trivially traverse the (large, hashed) namespace, though Google being Google these were itemised in some 50,000 or so sitemap files, a fact I exploited to some benefit.[1]

In the case of a discussion site in which forum identifiers are arbitrary but labels are semantic, issues such as discovery, relevance, and trust would be mediated by some other mechanism. Note that the extant Reddit practice already has numerous issues, e.g., /r/ClimateChange is a sub devoted to denialism (under the pretext of "rational" discussion and skepticism) whilst the scientific consensus is far better represented at /r/climate.[2]

What the intermediation of arbitrary identifiers vs. descriptive labels provides is defence against squatting or appropriation of high-value, high-salience identifiers by malevolent actors. If your label is independent of your description and reputation, it's less tractable as a means of disinformation or propaganda.

2. And regards the present Reddit Blackout, I'll note that the denialist subreddit is available, the consensus subreddit is blacked out. Which raises interesting points about the challenges of adhering to moral principles in an immoral world. I also note that ClimateChange's long-standing moderator appears to have been inactive for the past 9 months, though they are still listed as chef moderator. It's possivle, though uncertain, that former characterisation of that sub may well have changed.
> I guess Bothell is also nominally a college town

I haven't lived in Bothell in more then 30 years (graduated from BHS in '93, this is way before UW Bothell opened up, so I went to UW Seattle instead), and...it was more working class. But I don't even remember a QFC being around anywhere, even in Mill Creek (oh, the Safeway at Thrasher's corner, near where I used to live, turned into an Indian grocery store...times change).

The QFC in U Village is much larger than the one we have in Ballard. It is a tiny QFC, so I guess they just need to prioritize. Wine and craft beer make money (they also have a separate hard liquor store, but I rarely see it open).
Wow, NHTSA is gaslighting right to repair on behalf of the car companies now, in direct opposition to the recent executive order on Right to Repair, and the FTC's recent report on Right to Repair debunking these myths?

Guess the different branches of the Federal Government really don't communicate with one another... sigh...
That makes sense though. Realistically it’s more important that they can communicate and there wasn’t time to set up an alternate channel.
People who bring guns into urban areas have a bad assessment of danger, yes. There is almost no urban situation, especially on the street, where a concealed gun will help. It's not like anyone will give you a chance to draw your weapon if you are ambushed. And every mugger I've experienced or heard of starts with their weapon out or at least their hand on it. If you think you can quick-draw and beat them, you have watched too many movies.

And, for the record, the source you cited shows that crimes where you would be morally or legally justified to use deadly force to defend yourself (e.g. rape, murder, assault), are less frequent in California than the national average and less frequent in San Fransisco than in California's average. Absolutely, if you think using a gun is a valid response to someone breaking your car window you are absolutely not a good judge of threats. Nor are you a responsible gun owner and should be forced to surrender your gun.

Honestly, odds are high I did have an early covid case. Was like an asthma attack with a few nights of fever. And I had every symptom. (Though, my understanding is loss of smell came and went as symptoms? I can't remember what the final call on that was.) I never got a confirmed test, as they weren't testing then.

Mostly irrelevant, as I don't think it would change anything else. Keep your distance and try not to get people sick is still good advice. I just offer it as understanding that there is a lot to be confused about on this. Kind of like early claims that kids couldn't get it. Which is asinine on evidence of everything kids spread through the family.
Did you try using the API and providing a very clear system message followed by several examples that were pure JSON?

Oh, It could totally be doing that.

I agree it could be useful in some cases but personally I want my search to be predictable more than anything else !
As a lowly redditor I feel this has become a fight between a nomenclatura of moderators and Reddit. The moderators believe they are taking the rightful fight, but as far as I am concerned, they they don't represent a community since they are not elected by it. They elect themselves, right? So this is less of a grass roots movement than it may appear.
Can anybody recommend an alternative with the following:

1. EU/EEA/Switzerland
2. DNSSEC
3. DNS hosting (with DNSSEC support)
4. WebAuth/FIDO2 2nd factor (with ability to add multiple keys and recovery codes)

Right now Gandi meets all those for me, but it is always nice to explore something new.
Rust is more of a c++ successor, yes.

I'd love to play with one of these, but, honestly, I find both the MI300 and the Bergamo more interesting. Obscene amounts of cache is fun, but more slower cores or a combo of fast cores, GPU and shared HBM is a lot more intriguing as a computing platform.

RepeaterBook is great, especially on a phone. Automatically tells you the closest ones, which is useful when traveling.
Reddit has been kind of bad for my mental health. Like many I refresh the various front pages hoping for my next dopamine fix - addicted to the low commitment required and instant gratification. I let the little karma number affect me way too much - I have started to hate such gamification of forums.

Guess I will get my fix elsewhere now and hopefully someday I will stop altogether and make better use of my time. Reddit going bad just makes it a tad easier.
Karma on Reddit is used as a proxy for "this user makes good contributions". At smaller scales in the past this might have been a useful proxy but when a pithy joke on a huge subreddit can get thousands of upvotes it's not longer a good proxy. But since people still use it as a proxy astroturfers wants as much karma and activity as they can manage because it makes the account look more realistic.
Thoughts and prayers are always the least that can be done in any situation.

Yes, you can read that quip both ways.
It's also missing H, M, and L for moving the cursor to the top, middle, and bottom of the window respectively. You can also navigate using the % command. For example, you can use 50% to scroll to the middle of the file, 75% to go down 3/4ths of the way, etc.
That page is really hard to read on a desktop monitor, everything is huge and wide
> 2) Vomit a lot of code adopting the latest and greatest fad without any prior experience in it (like "template metaprogramming") and with no knowledge whatsoever of the domain in cause

> 3) Keep on #2 until some resemblance of responsability appears, like need to actually deliver that project. Or until the unintended and accidental complexity of said code exceeds their limited mental capacity. Then apply for a new job somewhere else, padding their resume with "experience in fad X"

This is called resume / CV driven development. It’s popular because it’s rewarded well.

If you’re good with maintenance instead of creating new projects, you might as well be invisible; especially to the non-technical. Google’s reward mechanism is a notorious example, though tbf you’ll see a lesser form of this in nearly every organization

Edit: if we’re being fair, even if developers were competent in using x bleeding edge tech, it’s still a negative when they leave. For the longest time, yahoo engineers didn’t know what to do with pg’s store front lisp code

Twitter verification shenanigans: Gold Edition
ML training sounds like the easiest part. All that would be needed on that front would be AMD engineers writing good AMD backends for pytorch and tensorflow. A much simpler task than offering an optimized general-purpose interface and getting people to use it (whether that's optimized OpenCL, a CUDA-compatible API or something else).

Of course so far AMD has done a laughably bad job at these kinds of things. I guess there's hope

Rust lives in the smart pointer world. So a good candidate as a c++ succesor. Zig lives in arena alloc and soa world. So it's a better than rust when you need performance beyond the norm.
No, it's impossible to prosecute every violation of law, and this has been true since the beginning of time.

Would you agree that each library can't have every book ever written, and do you think there is a distinction between not selecting a book and "banning" it?
Because that's really all the information the article has.

You boil it all down and the article is just rehashing everything for the hundredth time, along with claiming "US government sources say" and dropping the three names to make it appear to be credible.

There's no details about how these government sources know this.

It also seems to be a rehashing of a New York Times story from a year or so ago which also claimed that there were three workers that were sick (without having any details) and was written by the same journalist that wrote the Iraq/Niger Yellow cake Uranium story back around 2002 that led us into the War in Iraq (and the same plot line that led to the Valerie Plame/Joseph Wilson/Dick Cheney affair).
The purpose of the NHTSA and vehicle safety regulations broadly is not to litigate who is at fault in an accident and sentence them to death, it is to make traveling on the road by motor vehicle or bicycle or foot as safe as is feasible given costs and available technology and data about the nature of injuries in collisions. Most people most of the time are in control of their vehicles and are paying attention to the road. But every single person that drives a car will make a mistake, become distracted, suffer a mechanical failure, or become unavoidably implicated in the mistake of another road user.

Slamming into the back or coming through the side of a semi-trailer is not something that just happens to "dangerous drivers". It is something that can happen to anyone placed in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That said, the position of the regulators and trucking industry at present make sense, underride crash data indicates that the costs of proposed safety measures could be better spent improving other known road-safety issues with known or projected solutions. And the point that TFA is making is that NHTSA data is severely underreporting underride crash incidents in the sample that they investigated, making underride crash safety regulations worthwhile.

And the mass of the vehicle is really not the issue in this sort of collision. This type of collision would occur in the same exact way if the trailers weighed 1,000 lbs, the bottom of the trailer would shred through the windshield and decapitate the occupants. A better underride guard would turn an unknown number of fatal accidents into scary crashes that people walk away from unharmed.
99% of the time is still super frustrating when it fails, if you're using it in a consumer facing app. You have to clean up the output to avoid getting an error. If it goes from 99% to 100% JSON that is a big deal for me, much simpler.
Many communities did hold votes on this issue. And it would be very very hard to organize a moderator election on a free online forums with hundreds of thousands of members…
I came across this paper while I was looking for a compilation of constructions (especially the current record-holders), but I wasn't able to find one.
