What an insulting interview question, I hope it was just in jest or at the end looking to pad the time

However, it did make me realize hidden therein is an actual interesting interview question, similar to the "describe what happens when you type an address into the browser's URL bar and hit enter": describe what happens after you type `:s/foo/bar` and hit enter. Followup version: what about `:%s/foo/bar`? The kind of thing that can be interesting to watch them reason through even if they don't know the answer, or even know what those syntaxes do.
Sure, but any important project will probably face a very hostile environment at some time. The license better be ready for it.
The original question was about ancient life still existing on Earth, not hypotheticals.
That's a pretty short-sighted and selfish approach, though. As others have pointed out, good contributors don't come out of nowhere - they start as lurkers. Many of them remain lurkers. Surely someone run a study on this, but at least in my personal experience on HN and some more discussion-oriented subreddits, the most interesting/valuable submissions are often one-offs done by users who otherwise don't submit or even comment much.

Also: moving the community from an open discussion board to a closed chat strongly favors the most active participants - i.e. those who are dedicated enough or otherwise have nothing better to do with their days than to actively participate. It's not a problem if the "community" is just a bunch of friends and regulars shitposting. It starts to be a problem when large open source projects move from open boards to closed chats, as they effectively shut off anyone who has a day job, kids, or... well anything else to do, tech or otherwise.

Also: lack of (or bad) indexing and search affects not just outsiders, but community members themselves: it's not just that some rando can't find the fruits of your discussion via Google search - it's also you who can't find it one month later.
There probably should be a toggle or a separate brightness control (i.e. "maximum brightness" and "default brightness") if something like that is exposed to the web.

Letting content be arbitrarily much brighter than what the user expects seems a terrible design, easily exploitable by advertisers and all sorts of attention thieves.

Potential Covid Patient Zero Linked to US Research
It's a good way to bypass legacy IT teams. A onprem server will have a bunch of snake oil endpoint protection products running on the box, bespoke config changes and take a couple months to get up and running, a ECS container is up and running in minutes and has whatever you shipped in the container without all the commentary from the peanut gallery.
The point about the lifestyle industries is a good one. Europeans feel they have the good life, so why would they want to be more like Americans (who work like crazy, have no safety net, and live with random gun violence) or like the Chinese (who slide into even greater autocracy)? Perhaps the drawbacks of American and Chinese society are the very factors contributing to their economic growth?

Unfortunately from everything I know about submarine disasters there is very little hope of anyone surviving. Failures are often catastrophic and even without that the time to deploy recovery vessels measures in days. Rip.
Apple are far from the only ones trying to do this sort of thing. In the past, we've seen companies trademark specific colours, common words ("windows"), and lots of other things.

What trademark offices and judges need to remember is that the only reason trademarks exist, is to protect customers against impostors. Any trademark case that doesn't involve even the slightest chance of impersonation or confused customers, should be slapped down hard with a fine for the company bringing the lawsuit.
I've used obsidian with nb before but you can't just open nb inside your vault and have it immediately work. nb uses .index files at the root of each directory to know what to display in the cli (I assume so it doesn't have to do a ton of I/O operations). You'd probably need to spend a bit of time understanding that stuff so you can write up a script or something to coordinate between the two. I ultimately just ditched obsidian and went with my afore mentioned apple notes/nb hybrid approach.
This is a valuable project, executed well.

A suggested edit: the term "copyleft" at https://writefreesoftware.org/learn/licenses is confusing and is falling into disuse. "Reciprocal licensing" is easier to understand and is growing.

I switched to LXQt for the same reasons. KDE is great on paper but Plasma has too many random bugs for me to enjoy (specifically Plasma; Kwin is fine.) I just want a basic and stable desktop environment with GUI configuration and and standard window management... I find that KDE provides some of those but sacrifices stability in an effort to be more than basic. For instance; configuring panels. In LXQt it's done mostly through context menus and setting windows, while in KDE it's supposed to be a more dynamic affair of dragging things around with your mouse. Well KDE's way of doing it has never worked well for me, it always seems to mess up and do something unexpected when I try to use it, so a simple adjustment becomes an ordeal of trying to fix my panels after messing them up accidentally. LXQt's way of doing it may not be as slick and modern, but it's utterly reliable.
My naive thought - complexity kills all things. Eukaryotic cell is bigger, has more metabolic processes, can have specialized life cycle, etc. All of which means that it is slower growing and could be out-competed by the faster-growing, but less optimal organism. Natural selection only picks those who survived, not "the best".
The US Navy SRDRS is incapable of reaching that depth. There was no point in designing it to go any deeper than the crush depth of manned military submarines.

https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Fact-Files/Display-FactFiles/...

The most they could do is send an ROV to search for the lost submarine on the bottom, and perhaps attach a lift bag or recovery cable.
You're pawning complexity off to the caller of `getConnection` with `defer` semantics. The only time `defer` is preferable to RAII is when the release of a resource to its corresponding acquire may have a different set of arguments depending on the context. The example you've given doesn't really seem that compelling.

acquireX/releaseX maps nicely to lexical scope and adding a language feature to provide sugar for it is pretty nice, imo/e. Defer doesn't really "get it."
I was lucky to learn how to ride from someone with decades of experience. Was taught early on to always prepare for the worst to happen, and one of the best ways to avoid an accident was to avoid it altogether (i.e. taking the longer/safer route around a congested city, don’t ride after dark (avoid wildlife), etc.). Its important recognize “normalization of risk” bias. Because the natural consequences of failure on a motorcycle can be so severe, its not adequate to use personal failure as a metric for riding behavior. You can always push the limits a bit further…until you cant anymore. I only crashed once…lowsided on a routine evening ride where road construction crew had left a 3” tall 90° angle curb between 2 uneven lanes. Didn’t see it in time while switching lanes. Should have been easily avoidable. A rider is fully responsible for their ride profile, no matter the conditions. Just a few lessons learned from years of riding over thousands of miles across North America. I now live in a city that I consider to be too dangerous to ride in (high speeds and driving culture has a reckless disregard for traffic laws). Thinking of picking up off-road riding again, since it fits better with my current lifestyle and hobbies.
Do you know what thread you are in? He is treating his employees in a pretty fucked up way. That is one of the bad things he is doing. The whole topic of the thread is a bad thing he is doing.
I think people are more tolerant of issues with Lemmy and Mastodon because federation is a major benefit that inherently adds some UX complexity.

I think Discourse is fine for what it is, but it's less OK to be a siloed forum in 2023 than it was in 2013. Yes, I'm aware federated forums are just reinventing Usenet, but there was a good idea there we lost sight of in the web era.
A very Dutch statement: “When you cannot go back to the past, you have to find new ways.”

It’s interesting their pragmatic, modernist (before that was a thing?) take on people’s relationship with the world.

At heart they seem to be quite conservative about the small stuff, and quite brave about building a rough, running consensus about radical changes to the big stuff, while leaving room for folks who don’t or can’t get on board with the plan (eg “zuilen”).

Nice little country they have there, shame if something happens to it. Like global warming.
>This has been debated to death on guitar forums, but some would argue that digital is now undistinguishable from the tubes.

I find that it's impossible for the average listener to identify the difference in recorded music, especially if there's a lot of distortion in play, but I can entertain the idea that it's a detectable difference.

As someone who moved from solid-state and digital amps to tube amps I find there to be a huge difference in terms of dynamics and response, which massively influences the way I and others play. I can't imagine Jeff Beck or Gary Moore getting the same results with non-tube amps, since their playing relies so much on dynamics and physically feeling and moving air in the room.

edit: for live touring, though, it's so much more efficient to use digital or solid-state options for size, weight and reliability, if it doesn't directly impact the artist's ability to perform
140 racks is a quite a lot of tonnage of AC as well. And probably hot and cold rows to make it function.
Probably never. I think KDE is just too complicated at this point, with too many components and moving parts. I too very much enjoyed KDE 3: it was really performant on low-end hardware which I was using at the time, boring, and stable. But then KDE 4 happened — truly the Windows Vista moment of the Linux/FreeBSD desktop, and I ended up on a clunky setup built from separate smaller components which has been the most stable experience across all OSes (pretty much no issues or changes in my workflow in ~10 years).

AFAIK they really had to rewrite it — ­Qt4 was just too different from the old version, and you couldn't simply port older applications without almost doing a full rewrite anyway. Still sad it had to go, and we haven't seen anything similar since.

I am still yet to try the fork, though.

You can continue spending your time messing around with your system then. I learned nix in a short amount of time and it has supercharged my development workflows and reduced the overall complexity. I have too much stuff to get done to not use it.

This is like calling protestants mainstream Catholics because there are more aggregate protestants in the us than Catholics. At some point we must be clear as to definitions. If you start doing things like consecrating triscuits you are not Catholic. You can be whatever you like but it is simply dishonest to say you're Catholic. Anymore than the protestants are.

Likewise for me. However, I'm on land, where the Starlink satellites don't have to relay comms between each other. It's a completely different story out in the middle of the ocean. Starlink only recently started their laser-based relay system, and I have not heard reports about its reliability. It might work great, I don't know. I do know that it was a difficult engineering problem to solve.

I used keep for a bit. I liked it and agree it does the same thing apple notes does. I settled on apple notes for no other reason than a weird sense of minimalism if that makes sense. I've installed so many note apps over the years that I was spending more time on that than actually using something. I decided enough was enough. Apple notes has flaws (especially if you use other platforms) but they all do. I got tired of worrying about it and just decided to go all in warts and all.

Moderator users do a lot of work. Even something simple, like a shared blocklist of trolling user accounts could save work. But, better federation moderation tools will also be able to bring some (most?) of the advantages of centralized public forums to decentralized forums.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructolysis:

And the answer gave such certainty to what ancient life would be like that my hypotheticals should be able to be answered (in the same context) with just as much certainty.

It's trivial to apply my hypotheticals to models in which life didn't all descend from a common ancestor.
That covers things somewhat, but not entirely. In Dota (and other games), there are a lot of purely client side cheats, that are obtained by reverse engineering the closed source client. Some examples that can't be detected server side reliably.

* Keyboard macros. Actions that require multi keys pressed in sequence can be done with one key press.

* Bigger viewport. Your client has information about the entire visible map, but by default only shows a certain part on your screen. Client side hack zooms out the view and shows you a much larger area.

* Auto disable. A very strong cheat. If an enemy suddenly jumps on you from out of vision, immediately cast disable spell on them. Doesn't matter if you were looking somewhere else or doing something else.

Valve can't prevent people from creating these cheats, but they put code in other parts of the close source client that detects the usage of these cheats. Then they create a list of these cheaters and every few months have a ban wave. And change the code enough to break the cheat.

It's just a question of percentages, do you really want to implement something that increases the brightness of your advertisement on 2-5% of your global impressions?

Entirely different story if your advertisement is a high margin product sold on the american market, especially if it's appealing to teenagers/young adults. That'd probably be over 50% of impressions, though that's just me guessing the number.

Skimming the website, I assume this submersible is using electromagnetically attached drop-weights so that if anything goes wrong and power is lost, the weights drop off and the submersible floats up to the surface again?
And 96 hours of life support sounds good, but unless there is another submersible nearby that can dive down, find them AND attach a line, the number of hours of life support will be irrelevant. Of course if the pressure hull has failed catastrophically it will have been over mercifully quickly. Anyone know if deep-diving submersibles are required to carry black-boxes like aircraft?
The problem Nix wants to solve is a valid one. But there are better alternatives imo, such as the newer distros based on rpm-ostree. You can do atomic upgrades, and easily rollback to a previous known good state if needed. No changes are allowed to a live system. And best of all, it's practically the same in terms of management, there's hardly any learning curve.

(Marginally related): the thing that holds me to move to discord it’s because their “conversational” nature instead to be an idea board.

At least for me, an idea board like HN or even Reddit demands a minimum level of insightfulness before post (ok, maybe for Reddit it’s a bit of a stretch) and a discord since the speed of communication it’s high most of the communication it’s just lazy responses, keyboard farting, people spitballing for engagement, and it’s quite easy for any serious conversation derail.
I had a PT job in college which I needed to pay rent. Where work ended and began? It didn't. When life happened like my VW breaking down it still didn't stop. I jogged to work for about 6 months. 4 miles round trip. F** it. It was hot warehouse work so it didn't matter if I showed up sweating. I would run if it was 100 degrees outside, raining...didn't matter. Some of my friends had flip phones but I just didn't get it. Who are these people they are talking to all the time? Can't you just call them when you get home...meh.

> Most of the previous work in using ML for DBMS automation has focused on designing better ML models of DBMS behavior, but recent advances in ML have largely automated model design. The challenge now is to obtain good training data for building these models. This paper outlined the architecture of the database gym, an integrated environment that generates training data by using the DBMS to simulate itself at the highest possible fidelity.
