Because it's usually an error, and the benefit of catching the error cases outweighs the cost of losing that flexibility.
The fact they took it to some testing facility to test for cyclic fatigue shows that they understood that it was an unknown in the design, decided to test it at a facility designed for exactly that, it failed so they redesigned presumably with a design to mitigate the failures of design one. They probably took design two through the same testing process, and presumably it passed or they wouldn't have paying guests in it.

This sounds like the engineering process going right.

Yes, the perks of its ownership like enforcing their trade mark in the trade they are engaged in. Specifically the sale of music and the licensing of that mark back to Apple Records. Again they aren't trademarking the concept of apples, or all pictures of apples, nor is the application for anything more than the categories under which that trademark was. Further more, the application is not really any different from any number of other trademarks for which the Swiss government has already registered for Apple, such as:

Realistically this article is pure rage bait mixed with some clever marketing by the Swiss fruit union. They're not seriously worried, they're getting free press by stirring up controversy over an absolute nothing. And you can tell because of this weasel word line:

>“We have a hard time understanding this, because it’s not like they’re trying to protect their bitten apple,” Fruit Union Suisse director Jimmy Mariéthoz says, referring to the company’s iconic logo.

They would understand if Apple were (and indeed already has as linked above) trademarking their Apple Computer logo, but they somehow don't understand why Apple is also trademarking the logo of Apple Records which they also own? Either everyone involved in this article from the fruit union reps all the way up to the editors are completely ignorant of Apple Records, their logo and the previous IP battles regarding that logo or they're playing dumb for the sake of making a story.
IMO I think its less because less affects them. Much more similar to the lowest socioeconomic rung.

I've found the lack of alias guarantees to be far more bark than bite. What's the primary use case? For automatic vectorization? Ultimately the only cost to check is an integer add and an integer comparison. Yeah, aliasing guarantees would eliminate those two ops (and eliminate generating the aliased version's code path). But in general, it isn't some 8x monumental cost that many people think it is.
4 I mean `using x = a(b(), c())` if all functions return a disposable value will all three be disposed, or only the value returned by a and assigned to x?
Maybe they deliberately chose an accent that wasn't native English to demonstrate the style transfer capability. I think the ability of the system to output accented voices is a strength not a weakness, so long as it can do other accents too.
> "Software copyright" has always been a thing, from day 1

What exactly do you mean by "day 1"? First algorithm written? First computer program written? First program shared between machines? I remember reading Richard Stallman's story about software sharing, and him explicitly saying how software was initially free "by default", and how it was companies that invented software copyright, which is the spirit my original comment was intended in.

I am not familiar with exact history of US software copyright, so if you have any hard info about that, I'd be happy to read it, and correct any of my future statements on the topic.

Many Mastodon instances either are invite-only (i.e. existing users can invite new users) or use some sort of approval-process (write a message to admin, admin approves account) - even quite simple ones can catch non-targeted spam attacks.

In fact, think about why most of us think the earth is not flat. Indeed because, a lot of people who we deem smart tell us it is not flat. Most of those also got it from hearsay.

Less than 1 percent of us tried an experiment proving the earth's (non) flatness.

Contrary to me. In fact, I think the earth is not flat, because I think it is the conclusion of common sense reasoning. Yes, Dunning Kruger at work.

> The inclusion of this sentence makes me seriously question the author's qualifications. Removing all UB from C++ would be a terrible thing to do [...]

So, "[cpp]" here refers not to the C++ language as a whole but rather to the section of the ISO C++ standard governing the behavior of the preprocessor (which is commonly referred to by shorthand as "cpp").

The [cpp] chapter is part of what is amended by this very proposal, and part of the context that the author includes shows another instance of UB in [cpp]. That is what the author is referring to here.

It's just my opinion, but your "qualifications" comment seems needlessly harsh in light of that.
Ironically enough, subreddit sidebars were almost always a great place to find highly relevant and useful discords, forums and blogs.
I think it’s okay and even desirable for a public utility to charge more than today’s costs and build up a surplus to cover the inevitable investments and expenses that will hit in the future.

When that accumulated surplus gets too large, paying a dividend feels like obviously the right thing to do as well.
In my opinion, this is a flawed proposal. The disposer should not be a method on the object, because it means it cannot pass around the resource without the risk that the recipient of the resource disposes it themselves. A safer alternative is available- [item, disposer]. See this issue: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-explicit-resource-managemen...
Niche stuff has always been economically viable. Niche stuff also tends to get publisher support. Realistically these days the only reason why books don't have an audiobook format is due to not wanting to support Amazon/Apple, or because they just don't want it. Voice actors literally are not expensive for audiobooks. You can absolutely afford one if your tiny $9 book hits more than 200 copies.

Unless you're talking about illegal niche, in which fair but I highly doubt stores are going to accept those. All generation helps with is content that will be free.

from all the zig features i've seen, comptime seems like the most likely to have the most impact on future PL design. I don't know how powerful it is in practice, but the idea looks so elegant and simple and they seem to have managed to make it work.
Not likely. This is essentially syntactic sugar for `try ... finally`, the resource disposal is scope based. Node unmounting is linked to a different (longer) lifetime system than plain javascript scope.

It’s possible that there are UI systems where this would work but not the ones you listed above.
Yes. I'm not talking about GPT-4 on steroids, but a proper GAI.

FWIW, I find hallucinations of LLMs to not be unusual or that big of a deal, because if comparing to human mind, it's pretty clear to me that LLMs are the equivalent of the "inner voice", which - at least for me - tends to spit out things that "feel right", but aren't necessary factually correct. This suggests that LLMs alone won't make a GAI, but they may be an important component of it.
Show HN: Bring order to Slack channels
Hey there,

You are an Engineer or Engineering Manager, your team has a Slack channel where people come and:

* ask questions about product
* ask for code reviews
* one-off requests to help with a bug

When there are >30 people distributed across time zones, you get lost in incoming requests, code reviews get delayed, people ping your team again and again to review the PR they created 10 days ago. You lose visibility on what's already responded, what is not. You scroll through the messages and try to respond them or assign a someone in your team. Now multiply this with number of channels you are in and you have bunch of your own open requests waiting to get resolved.

Let me introduce you to a "@work" bot: https://slack.com/apps/A04KSRC0606-work

"@work" creates a virtual queue in the Slack channel. Every request can be added to the queue as a task. You can assign task to someone in your team and eventually mark it as completed.

Best thing is, every morning, engineer in on-call rotation can get list of all open questions/review requests, quickly navigate to the thread and go one by one to resolve them. No need to scroll through messages and trying to figure out which requests are still open.

For some use cases, you can even replace Jira. How? For each project create a new channel, add tasks as you go and you have visibility over the tasks across channels

Would love to hear your feedback!

I'm a relatively new immigrant to the US, Seattle area, spaniard but moved from the UK. I'm actually extremely tempted to move back to Spain and my experience in the US so far has been very negative.

Very high cost of living, inflation, uncertainty due to layoffs, salaries down due to a combination of lack of raises and stocks going down, housing price still increasing despite the high interest rates, which have made real estate even more unaffordable. To top things up the green card priority dates for my immigrant class have gone back, so I have even more uncertainty of when I will achieve permanent resident status.

I don't know the circumstances of the people that you describe, but Europe is looking way more attractive than the US. The whole reason why I left Spain was lack of jobs and low salaries, but Covid and remote seem to have incredibly improved the situation (I know from second hand accounts).

The only reason I'm holding on is a combination of sunken cost fallacy and an unjustified optimism in the future. It took me years and tons of effort to move my family to this country, so I'm not ready to give up just yet. I'm also aware than my bad experience is in part due to random circumstances, and if the situation improves (both for me personally, and for the country as a whole) my experience will be different.

Still, I give it a 50%/50% chance that in 3 years I will hate my situation here, give up and move back home.

Doesn't change the fact it's a computer that's inherently capable of any computation and they actively chose to artificially limit it mostly for rent seeking reasons.

I'm using KDE Plasma with multiple desktops and monitors using only keyboard shortcuts, it works pretty well.

Anyone here an expert on DHTs, or maybe an enthusiast?

Back in 2018 when I was designing the Intercoin Protocol (which we now call the Intercloud) I met with Petar Maymounkov, who invented Kademlia in the early 2000s. Dude used to teach at NYU (my old school) so I emailed him and took him to Olive Tree Cafe — wound up asking him a bunch of questions and learning a lot.

Anyway, I have a question about all this. Consensus is an expensive operation and th reason Blockchains are slow is because they run fu network consensus cor every block. In Intercloud, we run network-wide consensus only occasionally, and mostly to update a provably random seed (by combining input from many different nodes). This serves as a seed for a random oracle for the network.

Now, that oracle is used during “shuffling”. I think we may have originally got the idea from the SAFE project. What happens is that, every so often, swarms of nodes are shuffled and nodes are reassigned to other swarms. So although they may pick their original swarm, they have no control over what future swarms they will be in, because it is effectively impossible for then to predict, let alone control, the random oracle and hashes of activity from neighboring swarms. Being off by a single bit throws off any of their well-laid plans.

Shuffling is necessary to break up swarms that have been corrupted, overrun by dishonest nodes sybil attacks, or just unable to reach consensus due to unavailability.

So most of these DHT issues go away. However, encryption is still a very good idea.

Another GREAT idea is what SAFE pioneered - removing the IP addresses from responses after the first hop. Because otherwise it is trivial to DDOS a network or a subset of it.

True about recreational divers.

I'm trying to explain the sentiments which user paganel originally voiced - which I suspect are kinda common. My sense is that the strong negative feeling are tied to how much of a "just too many emotional points against it" corner case this is. A famous & famously tragic shipwreck, the dangers inherent in their extreme tourism, how very few people can imagine "it coulda been someone like me in that little sub", the "mass grave" scale of death, the kinda-mythical "forbidden underworld" aura to the site, etc., etc.

"On .NET Core, the AppDomain implementation is limited by design and does not provide isolation, unloading, or security boundaries. For .NET Core, there is exactly one AppDomain. Isolation and unloading are provided through AssemblyLoadContext. Security boundaries should be provided by process boundaries and appropriate remoting techniques."

AppDomains pretty much only allowed you to load unload assemblies and provided little else. If you wanted to stop bad code you still used Thread.Abort which left your runtime in a potentially bad state due to no isolation between threads.

The only way to do something like an AppDomain to replace process isolation would be to re-write the whole OS in a memory safe language similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_(operating_system) / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(operating_system)

> all IKEA furniture I ever dealt with were... at best, meh

Also, can we get a raise of hands on the number of people who have vs have not been successful in disassembling and reassembling IKEA BILLY bookshelves? I am fully convinced that it is near impossible for your average person to disassemble and reassemble BILLY bookshelves without damage.

I have a number of shelves possibly still sitting in storage at the university I studied at years ago, of all places. For two reasons. One, that I could not find anyone to help me get back in the room where they are stored after I left said university. Two, because I was so sceptical of ever being able to disassemble those bookshelves that I thought it better to leave them there until I could find a way to transport them without having to disassemble them again.

It's been years. I wonder if the shelves are still down there in the dank basement of the chemistry building of the University of Oslo alongside other PING student union things.

No, the problem is cost. The medical professional part is secondary because no one wants to pay for hypochondriacs who think their cough at 25 is stage 4 lung cancer based on webMD research, because getting a full body scan is expensive. If it was cheap then it wouldn't matter.
> Serious question: How are software developers supposed to put a roof over their head and food on the table if software can't be privatized?

Are you asking, what Stallman thinks about this, or are you asking for more ideas from people here?

I believe Stallman said in some interview, that there would probably be fewer developers, but they would work on free software and services attached to free software, like support, setup, maintenance, customizations, and whatnot.
There are 21E7 motorbikes in India [1], so at 100k deaths/year, that is 4.8E-4 deaths/motorbike.

The US has 8.6 million motorbikes [2] deaths and 5172 deaths [3]. That is 6E-4 deaths/motorbike.

Now, the better metric would be deaths/kms. But at least on the above metric, India is doing fine.
