Literally no part of this comment is correct. The Mac mouse and trackpads have had right-click for over a decade. Mac windows controls, obviously, pre-dated Windows' versions since Windows was a copy of the Mac. And patents have never had anything to do with any part of what you are talking about. How do you get 40 years of computing history wrong and then stay wrong after this long?
English seems to be a lot more fault-tolerant than German. I've come to see it as jazz (English) vs. classical music (German).

Either that, or native English speakers are lazier than native German speakers, and would rather work out how a non-native speaker is trying to use our language than try to understand that other person's language or a third language we both kind of speak.
SQL in the context of a single query struggles with a composable features. But looking slightly outside the scope of queries with assignment statements and view/materialization dags then you start getting some of that composition back. I think SQRL is an good example of SQL with a bunch of composable feature bolt-ons.

Article title is slightly misleading.

Later in the article:

"An analysis by The Standard shows that 45 stores, or 46% of the mall’s 97 pre-pandemic retailers, have closed since 2020. While 21 new stores have opened in the past three years."

So -46 existing stores and +21 new stores for total of -25 stores (down about 25% from pre-pandemic). Losing Nordstrom doesn't help.

The property managers are walking away from the mall, so there doesn't seem to be much confidence wrt profitability of the mall, esp. given rising interest rates.
A lack of big picture understanding is often what creates “bullshit” jobs. Consider when someone is doing something simply because “That’s the way we’ve always done it” with no understanding on how it fits into the larger scheme of things. When business goals or processes change, these jobs persist out of simple inertia because people have lacked the understanding of their original relevance (and more recent obsolescence)
> I hope you all remember the various "language reform" essays that get progressively less readable as various redundant letters are dropped or replaced.

Can you cite any that are putting in legitimate effort and expertise into the letter choices, and not picking a whole bunch of things that are half bad on purpose?

Also it's a bad idea to rate an orthography based on how it looks with 0 hours of practice.
I live in the county with the highest median household income in the country. 3 out of 5 anchor store locations at the local mall sit empty and national retailers are continuously leaving. Some are being replaced by lower end stores which could never have afforded a mall location 10 or even 5 years ago, but many locations remain empty. The mall is slowly dying and the owner is looking to redevelop it.

The problem is that you don’t know what the cop is doing. They might just be pulling you over for the reasons they stated, or they might be investigating some crime in the area and looking for suspicious people. Even a right or true answer can incriminate you in a certain light. Everything you say can potentially bite you in the ass later.

Better to be a little inconvenienced and take longer to get home than say something that can later be used in a court of law to implicate you in something you had no knowledge of.

I really want to emphasize that ALL of my police family gives this same advice.
It's barely usable when paired with the Realtime patchset.

An actual OS that constitutes a "good audio stack" would be able to provide hard realtime (i.e. formally guaranteed maximum latencies), like seL4 does.

Linux-rt is just probabilistic. It behaves much better than mainline, but latency could spike anytime.
I've really enjoyed reading (and playing with) kons-9's codebase in Common Lisp. It lets you do exploratory 3D modeling via the program's GUI or the repl. The source is very neatly structured and readable. I don't see many CL projects that do 3D rendering, so it's nice to see!

Prop 47 is from 2014, ~9 years ago.

Sit/lie in SF is from 2010, ~13 years ago.

SF has been in a commercial decline for a whole bunch of reasons.

Despite that, front-door bouncers have continued to be -as far as I could tell, as a customer of these establishments- more-or-less totally effective at keeping hobos out.
> the car dealership model will soon become just another (unpleasant) relic from the past.

The profitability of dealerships is in after-sale maintenance. Selling vehicles that require _less maintenance_ will hurt the profit model. To judge from the decision in Florida, dealerships must be owned by influential rich people there.

> Baby Boomers and GenX both like the idea of being sold something and having that service provided, but Millennials and GenZ have consistently shown that we greatly value self-service, straightforward pricing, and not wasting time or money on feeding the “fat” in systems

I don't think that seeing this economic model through the the distortion lense of generational marketing is a lucid explanation. Consumers don't like car dealerships and the sham business practices that they inflict on people.

People who understand the new breed of electric cars know their value. The demand for EVs is growing fast and manufacturers outside the US are responding to meet the demand.

The change is happening too fast for the profit model of US dealership owners.
You might not be surprised to learn that Marx, as an economist among other things, was almost certainly familiar with Adam Smith's work. Capital, for example, was at least partly a direct critique of On The Wealth of Nations.

Compared to Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) Apple's implementation is dysfunctional. Snapping and unsnapping is an important tool I now expect from any modern OS.
It's likely that they need to include the full std library in the windows version (build with something other than microsoft's c++ compiler, like msys g++ or similar)
The article reads like the opposite to FUD because it's dry. Instead it's more like 'People previously estimated how much groundwater was pumped to the sea. If it is that much earth's axis should tilt like this. We checked, it does. It is actually the second biggest variable to explain permanent axis drift.'

It's not a distraction, it is confirmation. In the future we can confirm groundwater pumping estimations by looking at axis tilt and it becomes harder to deny it happening.

EDIT: Reread the abstract. The previous estimations did not have direct evidence, this is such evidence.
Show HN: Nextbi.ai – NLP to SQL data querry for SMEs
Hi HN, Jiaxing here, Co-founder of NextBi.Ai , A platform for non-tech user to querry data from their database by using natural language.
A 1 min Youtube Video on the front page of https://nextbi.ai/ would give a quick demo of how it works.

To give the platform a shot, anyone can login with Google account and try with the pre-connected sample MSSQL database Adventureworks2019.

We are going to help Medium and Small businesses who normally do not have a data analyst to quickly get the data wanted and make informative decisions for their daily operation.

The reason we choose SME is mainly because the unstructured and complex database in production environment of large enterprise make it more difficult to get accurate querry result.

We take data privacy into consideration at the begining. Only metadata/table description is sent to OpenAI's API connection. Absolutely no specific data is sent to third party.

On-premise deployed pre-trained LLM is under development.

We’d love your feedback on whether our product fits your needs and any other thoughts on our solution. Thanks so much!
The source is open. “Open Source” does not mean the FLOSS-flavour of Open in conventional speech. If you want to fight that battle, sure, it’s not unreasonable, but realize that you’re pushing a sub-consensus view.
Watching cameras constantly is boring. It’s more interesting to maintain attention by being a face in public, ears and eyes present on a single space.
I don't think I care in any particularly strong sense, but it was part of my experience growing up, so it's hard not to have any opinion about it at all. I'm fortunate that the friends and family I have who still are members are accepting of my choice not to be a member anymore; it's not like I don't associate with anyone at all who is Catholic. At least in my immediate family, discussing religion isn't something that will cause arguments, so sometimes the topic comes up when I talk with my parents. I'm sure there are plenty of things I'd find silly in other ideologies as well; I just don't have the same level of exposure.
>After all, someone’s usefulness is by definition how much others are willing to give for something they do, and for philosophers that quantity seems to be $0.

I can only repeat my point so many times, this is exactly the outlook on life I find to be sad and ignorant. Philosophy doesn't poof into non-existence when it isn't supported by taxes, it becomes a playground for the rich and the rich get to decide what schools of thought are worth pursuing.

>If you went to a school where STEM students were forced to take a humanities course but humanities students did not have to take a calculus sequence, then you experienced the thing I described.

I did not view it as forced to take humanities courses, but as an opportunity to take humanities courses. I will also say that, if my memory serves, those humanities students were forced to take certain math courses (Algebra & Statistics). I agree that those same students would benefit greatly from being "forced" to take calculus courses - there are number of interesting philosophical concepts covered in calculus.
While it is true that you are physically at their mercy, provided you survive your encounter with the police (not by any means a guarantee in this country), you CANNOT be incriminated in a court of law for invoking your right to remain silent. You CAN be incriminated in a court of law for literally anything else you say. The winning move is clearly not to give them any more ammunition than they already have.

I too would think it a super easy task.

It has probably seen the correct nouns used millions of times in the training data - and asking it to produce the correct nouns for a bunch of words is really just "tell me which case you saw most during training", which is something LLM's are really good at.

>The laptops get scores of 2~4 (the touchbar iterations were an amazing 1, you have to look for the Surface Laptop or an orange to get worse), meanwhile the iphone 14 debuted a new design which earned a 7.

I'm more optimistic than sudhirj. There is a longstanding trend in Apple, going back to the Apple II versus Macintosh 128K, of alternating between open and sealed designs. As just one of many, many examples: The iBook G3 (not the clamshell)? Very sealed. iBook G4? Quite open, despite its exterior having very few changes.
Mentioning the USSR in a thread about Western researchers researching phenomenon that happens in the West while in the West: not whataboutism.

If that was the only challenge, then why aren't Discourse deploys, reddit clones, or Lemmy instances dominating the social media world?

Voat would be an example of a social media site that was spun up without VC interest (it started up as a hobby project from a college student as an alternative to reddit in part because of moderators).

And so I return to my question: if it is viable to do without VC funding and the demands of revenue growth - why aren't there more of them out there?
Great article but to be fair, there's a huge seasonality in the way people feel about their job.

Asking people how they feel about their job on Jan 5th right after they come back from vacation in the darkest days of the winter is guaranteed to yield the worse possible response.
> If you're no longer Catholic why would you care one way or the other?

Another former Catholic here. We should all care because a controversy such as this:

- diverts attention from Jesus' "Prime Directive" — which was straight from the Hebrew Bible, of course (Leviticus 19:18) — that we seek the best for others, even our enemies, as we do for ourselves; and

- falsely implies that not following pharisaic rules makes one less worthy and thus excluded from the Prime Directive.

This harms civil society in general, not just Catholics.

You do realize that economics relies entirely on humanities, right? Psychology, sociology, philosophy, etc without such fields economics cannot reach any of the conclusions they have suggested since the field's creation.

But it is hysterical to see people try to separate economics from humanities.
You make it seem like people can't reason for themselves about it. If you go on a 3 mile run, people will burn about 300-400 calories and is immediately available if you use a watch or even just your phone to track.

Then you can walk into Chipotle and see a burrito is 900 calories and do the math that you'd need to run 3 times a week to burn off an extra burrito.

But yes, most fitness proponents will almost always say that weight is controlled in the kitchen. Where do you see that people say you should only workout to lose weight?
There are multiple leadership issues, but ultimately there is no single fix.

The mayor has little power in SF compared to other cities. My understanding is the Board of Supervisors is more distributed than a typical City Council.

Housing: A single person in SF has managed to thwart 1/3 of all building development (source: some anti-NIMBY transparency website), which means NiMBYs have an extraordinarily strong Heckler’s veto. Very little development means supply for dwellings stays far below demand. Rent control ordinance from 1979 has meant that market rate units cost 3x what rent controlled units cost. Tenants in Cali and SF have very strong rights compared to landlords, so people aren’t rushing to invest in SF rental properties.

Crime: The state changed the thresholds between misdemeanors and felonies about 8 years ago and most people blame SF for something that a majority of Cali voters did.

As far as I can tell, the SFPD is sitting on its hands. As much as they complain about being short staffed, my larger city is nearby and has far fewer officers per resident and still manages to answer more calls. I never understood the argument that officers are slow walking because criminals would be back on the street without the prosecutor pressing charges. The patrol officer doesn’t know or care. This is more likely a “blue flu” thing where police are punishing people for their government’s liberal policies.

SF suffers from lots of “bridge and tunnel” criminals. The area around Oakland and Vallejo (across the Bay Bridge) is where lots of the thieves and shooters come from. People don’t tour the East Bay like they do SF and the affluent are more likely to live in SF, so the criminals go to where the money is.

Coordinated thief gangs for catalytic converters, store-mob thieves, car theft rings, etc are mostly issues that can’t be solved by SFPD — they all require multi-jurisdiction task forces.

Post-pandemic: SF had some of the harshest lockdown policies in the US and there was no policy push to reopen and announce the reopening. The jails were overcrowded during COVID and the Sheriff Department (staffs the jails) is very understaffed, so there were lots of incentives to keep jails from filling up.

SF’s city government spends more per capita than pretty much everywhere else in the US on social projects. They vastly overspend on homeless mitigation, health clinics, public bathrooms, etc. It seems to me there is no political consensus in the city for a single plan.
> This is, as I ubderstand it, incorrect on multiple levels. First, all you need to do is shut up to exercise the right.

Incorrect. The police can continue interrogation if you sit quietly.

Also, it’s possible to revoke your assertion of the 5th after you have invoked it. If the police say you did, and you say you didn’t, who do you think the courts will believe?

As such, most legal advice I have heard is to simply say “I am not speaking until I get a lawyer.” It is unambiguous during interrogation, and it’ll stand up well during any suppression hearings.

> Second, no matter how you frame exercising the right, police can and will treat it as suspicious.

“You can beat the time but you can’t beat the ride.”

If you are in a position where you are invoking these rights you are already considered suspicious. You may be arrested. You might be tried. But keep your eye on the prize: your goal is to not get convicted.

And it is of at best dubious legal status given that it was from decompiled Diablo code. I think it's unlikely that they'd get sued for this because Diablo is old and Blizzard probably doesn't care too much about the engine, but if they did I seriously doubt you would win a case against them.
I chose to implement C++ rather than Objective-C. At the time, about 90% of programming was done on MS-DOS. Bjarne's cfront implementation was not viable on MS-DOS because it did not support the near/far memory model required. After Zortech C++ (the first released native C++ compiler) appeared, C++ took off on the PC. I remember Borland's Eugene Wang was shocked at Zortech's sales, and Borland abandoned their plans for proprietary extensions to C and threw their lot in with C++, too.
What benefit would I see from talking to the police in the scenario you describe?
Catholicism is a mass religion, which means you need to be able to have a functioning society of Catholics (whereas if you're just making a religion to get a few dozen people into your cult so you can exploit them however you please, it isn't important whether an entire working society with this religion is even possible) so the rules can't just be complete nonsense.

But on the other hand it's important for your religion to stand out. Unless it's going to result in mass persecution or genocide, you want your believers to stand out, the requirements of your religion to impact on everybody else. So you get silly rules - not really that tricky to obey but seemingly pointless because hey, if nobody is grousing about your silly rules, nobody is noticing your religion exists.

This sort of thing is only a big problem once it tilts the whole society. People will probably vary in their tolerance but somewhere between "The weird logo on my groceries apparently signifies that a specific religious group may consume this product" and "Your existence is prohibited by the established religion in this country and so you'll be executed" there's a line crossed.
Are you suggesting that fewer than 1000 men died in this battle?
While true, it is irrelevant because no reparations have been passed/distributed.
I’m not a fan of Kurzgesagt at all unfortunately. I’m not a physicist so I’ll say maybe there’s some justification that I don’t fathom that explains why their fundamental explanation of the science is so terrible.

But I am a biologist and I can assure you a good load of videos they make on it are at best not great explanations or at worst fundamentally unsubstantiated drivel. Like their latest one about how your body “kills cancers every day”. I went through their massive google doc “evidence” and as suspected not a single real reference to any proof that this is true. It COULD be true, but it’s not proven. I’m not even sure the evidence we have is actually pointing towards this direction. If it’s true that your immune system clears cancers every day, then immunosuppression should instantly plunge you into cancer. Does it? Not really. May be some blood cancers but that’s it.

Point is, they show shiny videos explaining almost plausible sounding scientific concepts. But often it’s still michio kaku level sensationalism. I personally believe this disingenuousness is the root cause of degradation in trust in science. The average person does have the ability to sniff bullshit and it eventually catches up to them in their mind that these scientists have no idea what they’re talking about (like my observation that these videos say there’s one neutron per proton in a supernova; I could instantly smell something rotten).

You go to a mass. The church serves you grape juice and rice crackers. Just once.

Do you think after you die, at the pearly gates, you're going to get sent to hell for "consuming invalid Eucharist?"

That... just... takes things to a whole new level. This idea of "Commercial goods with a catholic church seal of approval!" seems to go directly against at least a few of Jesus' teachings.
The idea behind macOS window management is to not manage windows at all, instead letting them exist at sizes that fit their content in whichever position they land on your desktop, stacking and overlapping like papers on a desk, letting relevant bits peek through without requiring the entirety of their host windows being visible. Exposé/Mission Control are there when a window gets lost, and virtual desktops are meant to partition window groups by task further reducing the need to manually manage windows.

It's basically the polar opposite of something like a Linux tiling WM and it's quite different from Windows, where it's the norm to maximize everything.
I think it all boils down to the (people that know what are doing)/(people who don't know what are doing or don't care) ratio.

If the first group is dominant, agile is mostly about time-wasting rituals. Eventually, when the numbers of the second group swell, agile starts becoming useful.
