But you're doing even worse - you go on forums ranting about people criticizing legitimate OS deficiencies!

> Why try to bend Microsoft to my particularities

Many reasons, but specific to this conversation: because it's not a square! Tweakability of these things is part of "essence" of a general purpose OS, so that's the flaw of your analogy, and why you have to resort to generic analogies instead of explaining how a specific tweak is bad
"Hopefully, the judiciary works better in the US"

And sadly, no. False child abuse allegations have a 50%+ incarceration rate and nearly the same suicide rate. If anything goes in front of a jury, depend on your life basically being over. Lookup how Google's CSAM detection ruined a family's life for a year due to sending photos to their tele doctor during the pandemic.

I been through a case of my own during a divorce.. luckily mine was so absurd it was immediately dismissed from court and other party was held in contempt..

I had my google maps tracks history printed out, photos, conversations, etc. I did this exact thing. Maybe it helped.. not sure. I often dreamed of using a camera that took a photo every second and uploaded it, every day, forever.

Trying to put cameras everywhere in the home would lead to very expensive data storage as it would need to be stored forever. You also may be questioned about putting a camera in a bedroom or other area and such accusation could occur in an area where you can't, and don't want a camera, such as a bathroom. Cameras would need to be hidden for this tactical advantage as you are relying on disproving a specific lie. Otherwise, one was groped for 0.5 seconds in a car, in public, etc.

The long term solution was to simply no longer be a parent. It's sad, but the liability is too great.
Well, non Ferengi will often sign contracts then come back to claim they didn’t know it bound them to do illegal actions, or refuse to do something immoral or worse yet claim bankruptcy and try to run from debt.

So this line is a warning about outsiders.
> The fact that this hasn't even come to my mind yet baffles me.

same here. this options opens up an entire world of possibilities.
Firstly the delineation clarity is much more valuable than you seem to appreciate. A day one beginner in Rust can see that this stuff is roped off - so they know if they should call a grown-up - and everything which isn't roped off is safe for them. This also benefits an experienced developer when you're not at your best. Lets not write unsafe Rust today, we can do that when the air conditioning works, the coffee machine is fixed and there aren't contractors using power tools in the office.

I also think you very seriously underestimate how much equivalently unsafe C++ you write, and overestimate how much actual unsafe Rust is needed. Philosophically WG21 (the C++ committee) didn't like safe abstractions, so it doesn't provide them. To the point where the C++ slice type std::span is exactly like the safety proposal where it was originally suggested, except with all the safety explicitly ripped out. "We like this safety feature, except for the safety, get rid of that". I am not even kidding.

Most Rust programmers don't need to write any unsafe Rust. They can rely on Rust's promises, about aliasing, races, memory safety, performance characteristics, and they have no responsibility for delivering those promises, it's all done for them so long as they write safe Rust.

The other crucial element is culture. Culturally Rust wants safe abstractions, that applies to the standard library of course, but it also applies to third party code, you can expect other Rust programmers to think your library is crap if it has a method which is actually not safe to call without certain pre-conditions but isn't labelled "unsafe" -- because that's exactly what "unsafe" is for so you're not fulfilling your social contract.
What's funny is that it looks like Putin really has relatively little forces left to defend the inner areas of the country, so if he really wants to fight Prigozhin forces, he at least has to consider using some of the forces deployed to Ukraine. No matter what happens to Russia, this is evidently going to help Ukraine.
Depending on how fringe your beliefs are, we may all be part of a shared consciousness (Jung's collective unconscious).
Came and went in our town, like a flash in the pan.

Was great while it was here! My friend likes a particular soft drink. They didn't have it. A few minutes later he saw the manager put his coat on and leave, returning a few minutes later with a 2-litre bottle! That's service I haven't seen elsewhere.
He acknowledges externalities exist, i.e. you can't have a functioning market when the incentives are wrong, like with pollution. But in those cases where you do have market forces he argues that the market should set the prices with minimal government intervention. That's why he's fervently against rent controlled housing or minimum wage laws. Despite the overwhelming evidence that there are meaningful externalities that necessitate regulation for housing, minimum wages, worker rights, education, and so on.

With regard to health insurance, he argues "Whenever I hear about how many Americans do not have health insurance, my usual response is to wish that I were one of them…I would rather pay doctors and pharmacies directly, without sending the money through bureaucratic channels in the government and the insurance companies".

He (intentionally) misunderstands that the entire reason to have a health insurance mandate is to force healthy people to pay into the system. If only sickly people had health insurance the fees would be impossibly high. You can't have a system where people only start paying for health insurance after they get sick. And if you have a system without insurance people won't be able to afford expensive treatments so they'll just die. Sowell's policy suggestions aren't serious, and he's not taken seriously because of it.
Yeah, that was sloppy phrasing on my part: I meant that in a top of the food chain / king of the jungle sort of way rather than any extinction events per se.
Imagine there’s a military bombing range full of unexploded ordinance. The sign outside the range simply says “Keep off the grass”.

In the situation where context is different than what a reasonable person would expect, it has to be included. Language changes meaning depending on context.
I've heard that theory too and it makes sense. Prigozhin is a dead man and he knows it, a coup attempt at least has a > 0 percent chance of his survival. Signing the contract means he falls out of a window in 24 months tops.

Will lower birth rates affect the infrastructure of cities?
Hypothesis:

Increase in population => reason to invest and to expect economic growth.

Historically cities have not been nudged to build efficient infrastructure. The systems have been "maintained by money."

Lower birth rates => no reason to invest in infrastructure => unmaintained infrastructure, problems in places without major economic changes

Timeline: within 40 years

I took Ferengi to be written as a ridicule of those pursuing an Ayn Randian style utopia where everything is a business negotiation. It is not, in my opinion, a reference to Jews.
Agreed! When writing about challenging technical subjects, we ought to realize that a reader may not fully grasp one explanation, even if it's written clearly. Buttressing it from another angle can reconnect the reader with the intended meaning. For example, pairing formal and informal takes on a point seems to work well.
A related question is “why do conjoined twins have two consciousnesses?” Some twins have reported to be able to share feelings.
In my own multi-decade IT experience: most people working in SW almost never think in these directions (and therefore catch such associations before the public does), because they are dorks, and often lacking any humor. Marketing dudes definitely are more fun and know how to party, AND how to assess possible connotations.

And why would Softies think in those directions - fannies are considered black scary animals down there, i heard.
And clearly they are somewhat integral part in operation of the part of galaxy they are in. As people keep trading often in their currency. Even the federation occasionally get hands on Latinum.

OK this explains his motives. But what about his army? These are thousands of soldiers who know exactly the risk they take - so they probably need a high level of confidence to pull that off.

Ahh, that makes sense then; thanks for clarifying.
Full on pedantry here, but a snowmobile will still work without snow, perhaps not long, but while it works it will be faster than walking. A motorcycle goes faster than walking without gas downhill. You can also use it as a really heavy dandy horse.
> I would definitely take the Turkish way of shrugging off rules

Having lived most of my life in Turkey, it gets old really fast.

For one thing, there's a certain culture that is a mixture of extreme fatalism, not giving a shit about anything that doesn't immediately benefit you, low respect to other people, and the worst part of it, seeing other people who care as weak, unmanly and naive, that is so pervasive in Turkey.

When this culture is given a lax rule structure, what you get is a chaotic, every man for himself, free-for-all place devolving further and further into a low CGI Mad Max movie. Only reason why it still hasn't completely collapsed into chaos is because people are still afraid of the punishment. If you think I'm exaggerating, next time you're there ask a restaurant owner if you can smoke, right under the no-smoking sign and pay attention to what they say: do they tell you that'd disturb other customers? or do they tell you of the ₺20k fine they got that one time and they can't let you because of that.

I can tell for you as a lived experience that significantly more people in Turkey cut in lines than people in Germany. Why do they do that I ask myself, the only explanation I could find until now is because fuck you, that's why. If you were as cunning, as manly, as bold as they are you'd be at the front of the line, but you aren't, so fuck you. They know there won't be repercussions for that action, and that's the only bar to clear for them to do it.

Maybe this way of living fits some, I myself find this despicable. I know that cutting in lines is not the most important metric for life quality in the world, but I fully believe it seeps into everything else in the society and over time makes it unlivable.

Even in an imaginary ideal environment, if act of obeying existing rules is debatable, there'll be the problem of everyone considering themselves as a sufficient authority on making judgements with a limited context and a huge bias on interpretations that benefit them. At one point it just makes sense to ask people to use the right channels to push change instead of 80 million people making individual judgements on every issue every day and hope for the best.
I try to post this advice in every similar thread: if you want to get better at communicating information through writing, then On Writing Well by William Zinsser is really worth your time.
Rapid results is probably not really a good thing. But upon reading I see they quote 15% in 36 weeks. So, slow steady results. Strange headline.
Ah yeah that's actually an excellent point, we really only know of the things they do that they're terrible at.

As that old saying goes: "When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all."
I'm pretty sure I've read a PhD thesis that implements exactly that - e.g. the program can load a program into the prefetcher

Sounds like a nightmare post-spectre.

Maybe he was relying on his allies eg: General Surovikin. Nevertheless, he is correct to sense that many in the Russian Army are unhappy with how the war is panning out. But he is either miscalculating or misreading the situation, or see this as an existential crisis for himself and Wagner [1]

You can embed data into the application. So in theory you could embed a whole Go root directory, extract it to disk and then just run the executables.
I tend to think of travel as status posturing. The thing about status posturing is people don't want others to think they are status posturing. So, they make up other reasons for why they do something. For example, you need the huge pickup truck because you haul a lot of stuff once a year. Travel is similar. People like to claim they need their status posturing to be well rounded individuals.

Now at the end of the day people have disposable income and have to spend it somewhere, but I don't think travel should be given the special regard that it is currently.

Curious what your concerns are? As of Go 1.21 the toolchain will be fully reproducible [https://github.com/golang/go/issues/57120] and since the binaries will be distributed through the module system it'll be possible to verify that everyone is getting the same binaries. So you can be pretty confident you'll end up with the same bytes as if you downloaded the source and compiled yourself.
We might be talking about 2 different things. I was referring to the backwards learning pass and you seem to be referring to the forward inference pass, but what is an alternative to learning (or producing) text which does not involve sampling from some larger space? (Also I’m not a statistician so I’m not sure if these are technically “distributions”)
You're probably right. We have a couple examples of this happening.

There's the interesting quarks that people with split brain hemispheres experience. https://youtu.be/wfYbgdo8e-8

This. I get that it’s an opinion piece but it seems a bit overthought
I use Colemak-DH (modified version of Colemak that has less lateral hand motion - found I was getting slight wrist strain with normal Colemak). I find it more comfortable than Qwerty. I have not had any issue with keyboard shortcuts - Ctrl-Z/X/C are in exactly the same spot and Ctrl-V is shifted over by one key. Most shortcuts are placed to be memorable (e.g. Ctrl-F for Find), not to be ergonomic, so the keyboard layout doesn't really matter. The only place I've really had to customise is Vim, where I've remapped the motion keys back to where they are in Qwerty (actually shifted over by one to j/k/l/;).

On Gnome, switching keyboard layout is very quick and easy - there's an icon in the top bar by default - so I can use that when other people want to use my computer. When I use others' computers, I have to look at the keyboard but it is not too much hassle for me as I don't do this very often.

The main issue I've actually had is remapping Caps Lock to Back Space - not trivial to do in Gnome (required creating my own layout in XDG).
I use Colemak as my daily driver, and I find it incredibly difficult to switch back and forth with QWERTY. The muscle memory just no longer works. Others say it’s easy for them, so YMMV.

I had such severe wrist pain on QWERTY that the switch wasn’t an option.
The funny thing is, that you can extend excel with c# to do basically anything. So just by having the Plugin in excel allows for c# interop

In general, many Russians are pro-Putin, and this includes HN-ers. I noticed they don't like it when negative news about Russia are discussed. And the usual mechanism for canceling a discussion on HN is to flag it.
Quit using HN for general news. Go to your favourite news website, they all have a live section about this unfolding event.

I could not care less what software engineers have to say on the matter.

The only significant difference in priorities as regards speed would be the modern prioritization of "developer time", ads, and telemetry.

I can run Windows 95 applications at better than era-appropriate speed, in an x86 emulator written in javascript running on a web browser. That's at least 3 layers of virtual machine abstraction and the applications are still faster.

So if you're saying "the comparison isn't fair because modern software is too shit to hold up", then I agree, but if you're trying to tell me there is something else inherent to modern computing that makes software so many orders of magnitude slower, than I request that you show data to support that claim.
Even the live address by Putin [1] seems to have been behind a greenscreen or edited screen and if you listen closely, there seems to be an audible din that seems to be from the whirling sounds from a jet plane.

Red Hat stopped distributing the source code to Enterprise Linux except to paying users. Those users have a new restriction that the source code they receive may not be shared.

The author points out that this is not necessarily the clear GPLv2 violation it appears at first glance. The user agreement could be argued to allow redistribution of the code, but at the risk of a licensee being terminated from receiving new executables (and sources).
> Why would they be redacted for US national security if this came from a natural animal origin?

Because US intelligence has an asset in the lab perhaps?

I've heard it said that intelligence briefings are often 90-95% what you can find in any newspaper (or website nowadays), but the last few percentage points use various 'assets and techniques' that the other side doesn't want to get out.

Often it's not about knowing the what of actions and events, but the why.
> The Colemak layout was designed with the capabilities of modern keyboards in mind

But it wasn't! Modern keyboard is precisely what the author describes in the following bullet points: split and ortho (though it shouldn't be linear, our fingers have different lengths). He also forgot to mention utilizing your strongest fingers with a thumb cluster instead of that dumb long spacebar

None of the popular QWERTY alternatives have been designed with a proper ergo keyboard in mind, not to mention all the other modern keyboard features like home row modifiers.

(I don't know of any layout development algo and its resulting layout that takes those things with an actually typed training corpus into accounts, but would be happily proven wrong)
As a fan of the series, I'd argue thay they definitely took inspiration for the Ferengi from a caricature of traders, greed, utilitarianism and overall love of money and materialism.

But to be fair yes, everything in real life is a negotiation at the end of the day. Relationships included.

Will-free? Unless that's a play on my first name, I'm not sure I agree. I see no reason why AI would have any difficulty defining its own reward functions. Especially if it also has an abstract overarching reward function that's wide enough in scope. For example, "learn as much about the universe as you can" would allow a very long curiosity-driven bucket list of pursuits it could "long" for.
