Ok so in this case he was not a moral person but at least it sounds like he may have had the other two characteristics.

I think a major difference between now and then is that the world was a far more adverse and chaotic place for many reasons; people died frequently from all sorts of diseases, there were more wars and invasions, traveling to other countries was potentially life-threatening (e.g. you could be killed by the natives or succumb to previously unknown threats like exotic diseases, spiders, snakes, lions, tigers, poisonous plants, etc... Not to mention the substantial difficulties involved in communicating with locals in a foreign language). There really wasn't any support or fallback if one's plans failed; you would just die, no second chances.

The elite of today couldn't hold a candle to those who came before them. Today, they're mostly a bunch of spoiled brats who inherited a lot of wealth and never faced any real adversity in their lives (which wasn't of their own making to begin with)...
This doesn't work. There will always be that one guy thinking "what if we put a csv in another csv?!" So escaping it is.
Very soothing, I fail to know if it's nostalgia or if these geometric primitive based fonts are really massaging your brain positively
> Ñ and the ʻokina are proper letters and necessary for writing a bunch of American words correctly

Depends what you mean by “correctly”, but in practice they’re not necessary to write American English, and most people don’t use them (except in very high-production-value writing, like professionally edited books and magazines).
There are just as many criminals in law enforcement VS normal citizens... The difference is that law enforcement rarely face consequences to their actions... /R/bad_cop_no_donut
Can you clarify? I haven't seen people peek at messages without consuming them in Erlang. Even so I don't see how this gets you reordering.
They mention those with links at the bottom of this article as well
I thought about naming it kentfs, but prior precedent makes that a dubious idea :)

Designing good studies is hard. That doesn’t mean we should just roll over and be satisfied with bad studies. The same applies to most studies about human diet and nutrition.
I support this fully. Juniors and intermediate engineers I work with still struggle with git quite often and I personally know how that feels firsthand.

Not sure if this solves the issue. I personally recommend using git, but keeping it simple by limiting the allowed operations.

- git switch
- git checkout
- git add
- git commit
- git pull
- git push
- git rebase
- git reset

Note the absence of merge and and cherry pick. Most often when a junior has messed something up it seems to be because of merging in a weird order or cherry picking the wrong thing before merging or rebasing.

Either my juniors have stopped asking me for advice (totally possible) or this recommendation helps. As I find myself very seldom needing those commands I hope and believe it's the latter :)
>This is a machine that would benefit greatly from remote control.

Sonewhat. The machine must be able to effectively fight on its own. EW will be part of every modern fighter engagement. And having a plane with that level of autonomy is difficult, to say the least. It will have to make automatic decisions about identifying the situation and whether to engage the enemy or what priority certain mission parameters have.

I completly agree that at a certain point the meat in the machine becomes the limiting factor and whoever manages to eliminate it will have a more effective fighter.
The trend already goes in that direction, with UAVs becomming more and more important.
This is exactly my problem with software dev. There are no standards, no expectations, hardly any regulation. Employers grab fresh graduates and throw them right in the deep end and hardly anyone looks at their work or teaches them anything.

In Norway if you want to be a carpenter or plumber or electrician you have to be an apprentice for two years after your education and then do a test to prove you've learned to do your work properly.

Meanwhile in our field nobody even agrees what properly is, most of us are just here for the money and are planning to job hop in a year so they don't give a crap. Docs? Nah. Unit testing? Nah. Clean code? Nah. That only matters if you give a shit.

The answer to my question - was that you could spend $69 - $99 to get a battery replaced by an authorized Apple provider and if they broke something or didn’t do it right, it would be covered under warranty.
You'd also have to find a copy of the web framework it uses because it got renamed and the author disabled the old download address.
Was wondering the same thing. If you look at some of the station displays pictured, you can see that there‘s not much space between lines, so I assume this is to have space for descenders without clashing with the lines below (more like raising the baseline for non-capital letters).
It's a good thing it isn't used against the population at scale, huh.
At my university, there was a clock in the window of the computer center that indicated the turn-around time which was how long a submitted job would take to be processed. During the quarter, it would vary from 5 minutes to an hour. At the end of the term, when everyone submitted their final projects, it would quickly increase from an hour to, sometimes, more than 24 hours. Imagine having to submit your projects on Friday while getting one and only one run each day leading up to it. It was quite stressful.

Great article! I was unaware of he existence of "valid matter", "dubious or doubtful matter", and "invalid matter" until now.

I was similarly unaware of organizations like Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and Society of the Divine Word. Heck, I was unaware of the word and concept "dicastery". This has been very illuminating.
It's hard to know what point you're making, although your aggression is (hopefully) a sign of how extremely you care about this topic.

I agree that patents are odd here, but the solution isn't to patch in more power to bureaucrats over the top of the other power. You seem to be saying this at the end as well, so, as I say, I'm not sure what point you're making. But your excitement on this topic is appreciated.
> TikTok created the world's best content recommendation machine learning models. Google, Meta haven't come close to matching TikTok yet.

Honestly, I disagree entirely here. TikTok's recommendation feed makes me feel like I'm being exploited rather than assisted. It's "entertainment" in the same way cornmeal is "food". YouTube Shorts is hardly much better, but at least the content meta is higher quality. There are hundreds of educational channels getting good exposure on YouTube, on TikTok it feels like thirst traps and "look at me" type challenges (at least here in America). Meta on the other hand has proven that they have significant internal research they could drop at any moment and change the game. They released Whisper and changed the status-quo of speech-to-text overnight, and then dropped LLaMA to again change the world of local inferencing. I don't like any of these companies, but they've more sufficiently demonstrated that they can use AI to progress common interest better than the CCP has. I'd love to be refuted on that, though.
Works fine. Been using it on my laptop for ~7 years, users say it's solid w.r.t. power failure too.
nonsense paper, nonsense idea.
>Fwiw, I don't know a single person, in the flesh, that thinks Open Source is different from Source Available.

Then educate them. Open source has had a stable definition since before I was born. It is not up for debate. All of a sudden in the last couple of years shitty people have tried to confuse people by labelling non-free licenses 'open source'. That is fraudulent.
A couple of weeks ago it stopped showing the search page numbers at the bottom for me, but didn't infinitely scroll. I went into settings and changed it to infinite scroll manually so I could get past the first page of results. Trying in a different browser profile, I didn't have the issue. I got used to infinite scrolling in my main profile.. and then it mysteriously went back to multi-page results with working numbered links all by itself.

I haven't dared go back into settings to see if it's still set to infinite scroll (I assume not) because I don't want to break it any more.

I'm used to things randomly breaking in youtube, in the play queue, for example, but I thought this was kind of a shocking level of breakage to find in an online behemoth's primary offering, especially given how essentially simple its presentation task is.

Seems they might be still fiddling with it, though - searched the term slashdot and found "About 14,000,000 results (0.28 seconds)", but the bottom of the page only shows links to three pages of results, expanding to seven when I click "next".

I wonder what they think they're doing? Probably too much remote working, I expect. That'll be it.
Is this more than a different client interface to git?

"fuse" looks like rebase.

"switch" with automatic stash is handy (is there more to it?). It's a feature that several popular GUI clients have had for years.
This is cool because Git is almost too popular, there are too many poorly written tutorials, and I have seen so many people get in trouble and Stack Overflow just gives them more commands that get them into an even stickier situation. Yeah, if you learn all its ins and outs then you will understand it, but that shouldn't be needed for a tool which is now so widely used.

Git has improved a lot like erroring out if you try certain operations with unsaved changes, but even this has issues e.g. if you have a file which is untracked in one branch and committed or gitignored in another.
Very effective against potentially armored enemies. Less useful than a cut and thrust dagger form against unarmored opponents. Also harder to use in combination with another weapon and less concealable than the later stiletto.

As with just about everything, there are tradeoffs. They're definitely one of the more effective dagger forms ever made though.
Ugh :( I really liked having individual pages
Shameless plug – I wrote a post with my experiences with EdgeDB last year. It's a bit outdated already, EdgeDB 3.0 launch is happening next week, but I can only add good things to the post so far.

Xfinity/Comcast/ISP Outage (GitHub, Twitter, Stripe)
Xfinity customers and perhaps other ISP's as well are having issues connecting to specific websites all over the east coast.

Connections to some websites cannot be established: twitter, github, stripe, battle.net, xfinity.com

https://downdetector.com show how wide spread the problem is.

Edit:

Some reports from xfinity customers in the bay area as well experiencing issues. Connection to AWS for some affected as well

Edit 2:

As of 9:15AM Est, services are back to normal for me. It appears Xfinity is resolving their issues
Tell me your a DEI Director without actually telling me you're a DEI Director.
Well you don’t have to do anything. Spend $69 - $89 and let an Apple certified repair company to replace it and if they do something wrong, it’s covered under warranty.
>Defunkt makes it sound like it was a choice and they were a steward ... bs. If Google had a better offer, it would have been done.

Exactly! Total BS!

There are however some things that would motivate many founders to turn down their(Google) offers.

- Biggest issue with Google Acquisitions. They want the business and not the tech. They want to rewrite the tech riding their high horse.
- They often wont offer full time roles to employees of acquired companies and would keep them on contract positions pending "interview" for full time.
It does. Get to 501 karma and you can downvote.

This is too vague. Hiw would you test this hypothesys, that this stidu is teating, by measuring such unrelated signals?
Hello, Hacker news readers: This is Richard Montgomery that started this thread. I am overwhelmed with the response. We were expecting it would be a couple of weeks before we would have many responses. I want to answer every question, and I will, but it may take a day or two or three. We have the sign order in, but we are waiting to receive it. we expect it shortly. The help and suggestions I am receiving is fantastic. I appreciate your patience. Thank you all, and please continue if you will with feedback. Thank you
They established the definition and nobody had a problem with it for decades. It has nothing to do with money.
This is a bigger more widespread issue affecting multiple websites such as: twitter, github, battle.net, xfinity.com.
Is git really so bad if you spend ~1 hour trying to understand it and have access to stack overflow?

That's more of a reason why it's hard to change the core MM/page cache/etc logic, as you have to change all the users of it (every filesystem, etc).

Ripping out a filesystem is, technically, near-trivial. The downsides are fully human: the Linux kernel-userspace ABI is normally considered a golden promise that shall not be broken. The developers don't want users to have a bad morning on which their old filesystems no longer work.

You do not get to lay down such criticism without offering alternative suggestions. What is your top-tier classic or modern cRPG?

Edit: Not a fanboy defensiveness or anything. Just rare to see the contrarian opinion on this, and genuinely curious. Other than the trash combat, I really enjoyed my time with PST.
Because the DuckDB folks used the Postgres query parser.

It's been an alternative in Postgres for decades.
That's not true. We were using Python 1.5.2 at a well-funded startup I was at from 2000-2007. We were an early cloud provider and maybe 1/3rd of our customers were using Python. This was in the 3-tier stack days and Zope was fairly popular for the application server.

The internal tooling we built was mostly in Python.
I like that idea a lot. We've been informally doing it on my current team, made easier since we can sort of cleanly do atomic code+flag updates in a single commit
Okay I admit my reply wasn't that good. I'll take another shot:

I think it's ignorant to assume that everyone on hacker news lives in a developed country and makes a lot of money. The statement was completely unnecessary, and could've been much more useful if it instead said "if you can afford one".
You forgot the part about the part where your error-causing typo had used up your CPU time allotment and you had to beg the sneering grad student watching over the facility to give you a little more computer time.

We actually got our printouts more or less right away but computer time was very limited at least for non-CS undergrads basically taking a programming course.
Ok, so -- half full or half empty? Or are you saying it's all BS?
Start using worktrees, eg I have one for development, one for reviewing other people's code, and one for looking at another commit (usually main, using checkout --detach ). You could easily have more.

Pixel doubling typically refers to the algorithm itself. Simply making each quad (set of 2x2 aligned pixels) in the final image match one of the pixels in the source image.
> Testosterone therapy isn’t about gaining muscle, it is about getting testosterone levels to “normal” ranges. To gain muscles, the dose will be 10x of a therapeutic dose.

Your math is way off. A TRT dose of testosterone is going to be something like 70-125mg/week. A bodybuilding dose is going to be ~250-350mg/week (often used in conjunction with other compounds like Deca-Durabolin, Trenbolone, Primobolan, Anavar, etc).

An extremely aggressive bodybuilding regimen for a highly experienced anabolic steroid user is rarely going to clear 10x the total milligrams of all AAS compounds injected/ingested when compared to low-dose TRT.

Also, in any human regardless of age and sex, adding a typical TRT dose of testosterone to your system is definitely going to add immediate and noticeable muscle mass.
Anyone interested should just Google 'Elizabeth Loftus'. She convinced people of a bunch of things that never happened, some of them very quickly. Standard example is getting people to tell stories about meeting Bugs Bunny in Disneyland, but there was also some crime stuff, I think past trauma as well.

Law enforcement has their quotas and they'll use any garbage they can to fill it, but it's kind of hilarious that people just trust their memories for important stuff they can control.
Philosophy was the only field where I learned formal logic at all. I went into higher math, did some CS, and also got a law degree[1], and am now doing a Ph.D. in informatics, and still the only place I have really been exposed to formal logic was my undergrad degree in philosophy.

[1] It is amazing (or not, depending on your view of lawyers) that lawyers are basically not taught anything about making and proving formal arguments, at least in my experience.
I always feel like the main issue with tools like that is that you'll then just have to learn a separate syntax that's not portable and will be even harder to find instructions for.
Git is easy to use if you just read the manual.

Apple is not the biggest laptop producer - hp, lenovo, dell has been shipping each year more than apple.

ThinkPads are actually durable and easily repairable and even upgradable and they sell much cheaper and with smaller margin.

You would expect that apple with bigger R&D, bigger product price and much bigger margin would focus more on repairability by itself instead of waiting for EU to force it's hand.
Also, almost every time I manage to seamlessly automate something, it turned out that doing the task 10 times more often brought some value too. So yeah, the "how many times you do the task" counter is a very bad metric of how worthwhile it is to automate.

And on the other dimension, of "how long it is to write a program", well, it's a simple matter of precisely predicting the effort for a development task. We all know developers are great on this.

Overall, this is a fun comic, but people shouldn't read anything else from it.
That's an interesting approach.

It's too bad linux can't already run any in-kernel filesystem as a user process via FUSE, when you prefer greater isolation in exchange for worse performance, at the flip of a mount option.

There's no technical reason for this to not be possible IMO... it's just a product of the tight coupling of everything in-kernel, as implemented today.

I'm short on time to confirm at the moment, but I believe it was this [0] talk that left me with the impression kernel devs were exploring general solutions of this nature.

Am in the middle of listing my house using propbox.co because I happen to be the ideal use case: high end house in a pretty good market that should almost sell itself. When I say "in the middle" I haven't taken pictures of the property so the listing hasn't been completed and may not until weather here in Seattle approves. Another thing that makes this option tailor-made to me is that I'm friends with the real estate agent who sold it to me years ago and I don't necessarily want it to appear in the MLS yet, where she'd instantly know.

The site's UI is pretty smooth, with some very minor bugs (at the moment you can't add blank lines to the house description textbox). For an MVP it's very very clean and a pleasure to use. There's an unobtrusive "Seller tips" box that has a fantastic checklist for prepping the house. I mean, I knew to replace the tile counter with marble but I never thought about replacing the doors' weather stripping.

In the too-good-to-be-true dept: chatted with the founder and this appears to be a legit deal. Certainly they haven't charged any money, and he obviously knows the applicable laws: he's been in every possible position from developer to broker and everything else. In lieu of a big market spend he's just going to lose money on every sale early on. It really does cost only a buck to sell, and they do plan to send a distinct for sale sign. I suggested he make images of that sign prominent b/c the site is a little generic and that will set them apart.
I thought the glue was something "acceptable" for repair-ability, the complaint is that you have to disassemble nearly everything just to get to remove the battery.

This is like going on a forum for athletes and complaining that people want to be like Jordan.

Maybe you just want to play pick-up games at the local Y. That’s totally cool. I’m not even that athletic.

But for the people who want to play competitively and win, it’s important to understand that even the super-talented people like Jordan and Carmack still have to work extremely hard. If you want to keep up with those guys, it’s not enough to skate along based on your raw talent.

This was a lesson that I wish I had learned sooner.
It makes some sense to have a leveling-of-expectations course for freshmen that both inflates their GPA and says "Okay, whatever you were told in high school, we expect you to use this."
In Postgres, it's

No SELECT with columns and no FROM keyword.
Conversely, how would you feel if you were forced to be friends with 14 year Olds with an adult intellect.

The reality is that there's probably no good fit for this person, so it makes sense to leave it up to them and their parents decide how they want to spend their time
I had a philosophy professor who liked to say “Emotion is chemical. If you don’t like how you feel… wait.”
Simply knowing this and allowing myself a moment for it to pass helps me. It is sort of like the meditation technique of allowing thoughts to come and flow past.

I was road raging once and caught myself. I said out loud. I’m really mad right now. I don’t need to be. My passenger said “and that works?” It did.
Simply deciding to let it go can be a powerful tactic.

They do, but it's uncommon. Having been using SSDs since at least 2011 or so, they've had a vastly better track record for me than HDDs have. In fact I have yet to see a single SSD of mine fail, whereas plenty of my HDDs have corrupted files or died.

This probably varies from person to person though. Someone who's shuffling around tens or hundreds of gigabytes a video per day for example probably burns through them much more quickly than I do, with the most disk intensive thing I do being software development.
