Most people can end their own life whenever they chose. This is about the government providing an officially sanctioned process that involves medical professionals so that the process is painless and irrevocable.

> It's quite surprising

It is not surprising that this is controversial, since otherwise normal people can, and will, be coaxed into believing that they should let themselves be killed, just because they pose some inconvenience to their close ones or to society. Supporting such is obviously abhorrent to all who believe they do the right thing when they willingly lend support such "inconvenient people".

I mean the xbox and Playstation controllers are both actually really good, sturdy, reliable controllers; I'm sure a contractor could do "better" for whatever meaning of the word better for specialist cases like the military, but... why? If an xbox controller breaks, they can just pull out a new one.

War is as much about cost as it is about effective means of killing others. I can't say how much it's used because of a confirmation / media bias, but cheap drones are used effectively in Ukraine, plain commercial off the shelf drones (with matching controllers) with a bomb strapped to them taking out tanks and crews (who often leave their hatch open in the clips I've seen).

A few hundred bucks to take out a multi million tank sounds like a really good exchange.
I’m not sure how an items cost can be determined by the action you might take after it breaks..

It costs what it costs because that’s how much it costs to make it and have a mark up on it. These factors are not a commentary on its durability, robustness or quality. Try as you might to find a correlation.

Hostility to automation is a consequence of the “free to use” double-sided market trap that have been flourishing since Web 2.0.

If you are paying for a service, which adequately charges you at least how much it costs to run + margin, the service should not care whether you are giving them your eyeballs, and you are entitled to request features like automation friendliness and APIs and e2e encryption because you can vote with your wallet by changing suppliers.

If advertisers are the ones paying, and specifically paying for your eyeballs, then naturally your interests are at odds.

(There are edge cases where the service may in fact charge you, but 1) their billing structure does not let them cover operational costs, 2) they are afraid to alienate users by raising prices or otherwise hostage to current billing structure, and 3) they are incapable of optimizing performance to turn profit with current billing structure; in those cases crippled API and automation-hostile GUI may serve as a throttle.)

Stop Wasting Your Keystrokes
The simple, everything is a file, model of Plan9 is what makes the namespaces API as clear and as general as it is. All the objects export the same file API. Every interaction with the OS objects is done through file open, create, read, write, etc. But it has it's drawbacks.

First, it's not always easy to map every object operation into either an open read or write. With time, we should have seen a lot of ugly interfaces resulting from this limitation.

Second, hardware progress, the web, etc., introduced a lot of heterogeneity and complexity. People could no more keep up with simple general designs. And to squeeze every bit of performance, everyone was doing things different based on the hardware and the workloads. They use whatever makes their software, drivers, and OS objects work as fast as they could.

And this is how we ended with the extreme fragmentation and heterogeneity we have in Linux, which explains the complex and less general implementation of its namespaces and its other features.

GPS works on the surface of the ocean. But the radio waves cannot penetrate water very far, so it fails if you are submerged (few things can which is why subs are so well hidden compared to aircraft.

Unless a nuclear sub was specifically sent to the area to look, it is very very unlikely to just be "in the area". Even if it were there, it is very hard to find a small metal box on the bottom of the ocean. There is no real sensor for that. Most military subs are not designed to dive beyond about 500m depth (there is no need, 100m is more than enough to be functionally undetectable from the surface). The titanic is at about 3800m. So they likely could not get anywhere near close enough.
It's also wireless. Do they have an easy way of pairing a new controller?
I'm not really arguing for or against drawing any particular conclusions from this paper. I just think it's an interesting study that gives further insight into a subject that could probably benefit from many more studies like it.
Open plan noisy offices are almost that.
In the compiler I'm working on, the only differences between selecting C11 and C17 modes are:
* the value of __STDC_VERSION__
* DR423 (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/dr_423.htm)
* DR481 (https://www.open-std.org/Jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2001.pdf)

Note that many compilers backport defect reports to older language versions (i.e. they unconditionally adopt the new behavior independent of the -std= switch). The changes above can change the meaning of existing valid programs, so we're a bit more careful there.
However I believe gcc+clang both have always used the new post-DR481 behavior for _Generic (essentially, a gcc+clang bug was resolved by changing the language standard in C17, because the gcc+clang behavior makes more sense than the C11 specified behavior).
The generic error message is, sometimes, a strategy to hinder attacks, at the very cost of the user experience.
I would suggest taking Ritalin every day for two weeks and then reporting back on the difference between day 1 and day 14.

ChatGPT’s versatility allows for the automation of a variety of complex tasks. However, when we use it in production systems with large data volumes, we encounter issues related to latency, API request limits, costs, as well as privacy and response consistency through model updates.

We analyze in this post these problems and comment on some practical aspects and solutions.
> Yes, they are still doing this kind of stuff.

What specifically?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but linking to a lengthy Wikipedia page is not an argument. From a quick glance a number are old, and a number are just non-issues (e.g. "Mono patent concerns", which was just some baseless FUD mentioned by Stallman once almost 15 years ago), but I didn't read the entire page. "Incentivizing municipalities and other government layers to use their software" could just be normal business practice (or something shady – much depends on the details).
The same person who is involved with Plan 9 also made Go. Taking one look at that programming language doesn't leave me very optimistic about Plan 9.
> Does the market tend to find "inefficient" areas and someone comes in and "maximize efficiency"? I think Behringer is trying to vacuum all revenue in that space...

Yes. Behringer, from the start, was always about copying other brands and offer products to a larger audience through low prices. They used to do so with results of questionable quality... but not anymore. Their output in the synthesizers department has been excellent: low prices, good quality, good sound. They still rip off other brands for 95% of their stuff though... there is absolutely no imagination there. They see what works well in the market, come with a much cheaper version with a different (or not so much) design and it's done.

This is correct, the different temperatured layers of water typically develope quite well defined borders, these border regions act like any border between mediums with differing densities: they refract and reflect waves passing through them.
The HN algorithm strikes again, and makes it look like a anti-capitalistic rant whereas it’s really about the failure modes of payment pages.
There is a large, very visible shining crack on the lower left. I assume it's the source of the flare.

I suspect it's not very easy to see a flare when it's directed right at you. I assume the video is from a telescope close to Earth, so it's not showing us the ejection from a side, which would make it more visible.
Don't think there's a very good way to carry out these studies, this is just a catch-22. Either the participants are aware, and their bias could affect the results, or they're unaware, and they don't use the drug as real people do.

I don't really see the point in this being a lab experiment, just test the results from actual people who use study drugs (not saying naturalistic experiments aren't biased in many ways too, but seems like a better option).
SDL2 Now Transitioning to Maintenance Mode
That's a big “depends.” We can assume that Google employs ML too, and that it will tailor its output to the particular user. Thus, your output might not be the same as mine. With that said, I think it's a positive development that Google does indeed offer quick tuts among its other search results.

However, if you do not get a quick guide, or if you're not satisfied with it for whatever reason (perhaps it doesn't work, which has happened to me multiple times), then you'd be forced to browse documents either way. This takes time and energy which I'm not prepared to spend. That has very little to do with how “confident” the information sounds, it has to do with the likelihood that I will expend energy on bs tasks when I can just get the answer right away. Google simply doesn't offer that.

I get using COTS but the decisions for this submarine would indicate that they have no grasp of the concept of failure modes.

Decisions like using a 3rd party controller (known to be terrible), a wireless controller (introducing a lot of extra risk from batteries to connection problems), and a door that cannot be opened from the inside (what if they get lost but manage to surface?) are all very sus.

I think search includes words mentioned within the video and comments. Often prioritising this over a title and description. This leads to bad results finding things.

> Maybe one day we will get a drug that enhances mental function, that works effectively and has no real downsides.

What's the closest we have today to an effective drug with "no real downsides", assuming that nutritional supplements don't count?

If such a drug exists, I want to know why the body hasn't evolved either to produce it by itself or to obtain the same effect in another way. (Possible answers include: it's something that would be very hard to synthesise in the body; the drug is only useful to humans in recent times; it was already present in people's diet until recently - but then I'd call it a "nutritional supplement" rather than a "drug"; it's only useful to people who have passed reproductive age - though such people may still have played a useful role in ancient societies.)
gcc's c++20 support is still considered "experimental", which means libstdc++ does not guarantee ABI stability when using c++20.
The JDK is compiled and distributed by various entities using various styles of linking. The lack of ABI stability might be problematic for some of them.

Another big one: expecting local information from international customers.

My phone number starts with +49 and is longer than a North American phone number. This prevents me from renting a Bixi bicycle in Montreal. You know who likes to rent bicycles? Tourists like me.

In any case my card failed with a generic error, both at the payment booth, and in the mobile app (after working one time).

Another one was a stand up paddling booking website. I shouldn’t need a Canadian postal code to rent something (especially 10km from the border) yet here we are. In any case it was impossible to select the field on my phone, so I dropped out. I wonder how much business they lost to this single bug.

This sort of stuff happens when you ask for data that you don’t need, and validate it beyond your needs. I fight tooth and nail with colleagues to reduce the size of forms to avoid this sort of friction and bugs.

EDIT: oh and IBAN discrimination, which is illegal but happens even on government websites
I don't think hardware analogy synthesizers are going anywhere anytime soon. Moog is probably facing a lot of competition though, and they aren't very active in the Eurorack modular space where a lot of the interesting new stuff is happening. (In particular, a lot of their popular synths, including recently released ones, are being cloned by Behringer.)

It would be interesting to know if they were doing great but sold because the offer was too good to turn down, or if they were in a financially precarious position and looking for an exit.

Not sure what the situation is for the employee's union. If a company gets acquired, does the union remain?
Yeah, I can't imagine being asked to take a huge dose of a new stimulant and then do anything under pressure like that. A common ADHD tip is that if your meds aren't quite doing it for you, try a lower dose before you try a higher dose. And that's among people who take these drugs regularly and are wired to respond well to them.
HN strips some words from titles when you first submit, I believe its to make them less click bait. The submitter can then immediately edit the title if it mucks up.

This is a rare example of the small fraction where it makes the title more click bait.

There are agencies that do this. They have international offices, they hire the remote-abroad employee as a real employee of theirs, and the hiring company contracts the agency as a B2B deal. The agency is on the hook for all these things.

I don't know anyone who has ever used these so I guess they are expensive and awkward.

To answer your question more directly, it's not an app but rather a conglomerate of international brick-and-mortar businesses, with legal departments, HR, payroll, insurance... Not lightweight.

For our microbiology conference event, I just programmatically created a bunch of Stripe Payment Link options for every combination, and used our site to open up the payment link. We record the event using a webhook back into our Airtable.

Though I'm not a huge fan of opening up a new window for payment, this turns out to be much easier for us, implementation-wise. Plus, the Stripe Payment Link UI is able to handle most of the errors and payment methods, add discount codes, etc.

why was it true and no longer is?
My story is fairly similar to yours. I felt that I always had limited energy to really focus on the "important" things that turned somewhat boring after a while, and my peers who were able to keep going went further in academia. I got easily distracted by more "fun" problem solving and looking around rather than going really really deep in a given topic.

If only I had had that energy to go the extra mile, I could now be in temporary academic position in some city with worse quality of life making one third of the money they pay for coding. Oh well, sometimes you just have to take what life gives you I suppose.
