Or the war in Ukraine, or international derisking/decoupling or whatever they want to call it after last week. Or the bankruptcies caused by the shutdowns/inflation/subsidization of specific business while letting others fail, and market consolidation which that causes, which itself leads to new and bigger monopolies, and monopsonies, and therefore less elastic prices as competition is removed.

"Performance often doesn't matter that much, because your program often only spends a trivial amount of CPU doing something. I don't really care about a few microseconds to determine a file type given a name, when there's 10x longer to decompress the file and 100x longer to even load the dialog to find it."

I agree with the rest but this is how we are at a point where we have to wait for windows to open. Unlike on Windows NT. It's not a problem of one thing being slow - if everything is being slightly slow, it's a death by thousand cuts.

well done
A friend of mine recently observed how the NYT and other big papers, in their straight reporting, will rush directly to cover the "controversy" of any given issue while barely covering the details of the actual facts at hand.

So brevity is part of it, but I think a lot of people just prefer to engage in abstract philosophizing. It's more fun I guess, harder to argue with.
You may be pleased to know that “essay” literally means “attempt”. The idea being that you aren’t sure exactly what you believe, so you’re going to attempt to write it down and see if that helps to clarify it for yourself and others.
Yeah, OP is hilariously myopic. Lots of people would jump off a cliff during one of those walks if they had to live like that.
But this is the case on everything though, literally almost everyone used to be anti or neutral about LGBT 20 years ago and now is supportive, mostly, because over the years they've had experiences with LGBT people in their life and changed their minds.

Shaming people who have "strong moral/ideological positions" is basically just denying human nature... if anything, it is comendable to at the very least be able to change your position if enough (real) evidence is provided.

Obviously, someone who is "Open to all viewpoints" is ideal, but in many cases those people (Myself included in many cases) also do not feel too strongly about any topic to act on it (it is mostly just our nature), if everyone was like that we wouldn't have activists for example.

This is very interesting... I've never thought to divide the buffer into multiple blocks. Are they requiring some low-level OS abstraction to pull this off or are we looking at a novel technique at a higher level (i.e. could I patch an existing implementation)?
A lot of the people who quickly go against societal rules are anti-social, so the stereotype is not undeserved. The two primary personality types are "always-go-with-the-herd" and "always-go-against-the-herd", it takes a lot of attention to detail and strong will to only buck the trends that are actually bad; so nuanced rule-cutters are pretty rare and easily lumped into the anti-social camp by the common rule-followers...

There are some basic performance metrics that come to mind that are also important:

Latency

Throughput

And if you're working with a distributed system, you should really be using metrics to track the health of your system at the application level.
As mentioned correctly in [2], DNS issues with musl stem from the fact that it follows the DNS specs strictly and exposed bugs in certain DNS servers.

For an HTTP server replying with 200 OK instead of an 404 Not Found upon ENOENT, the situation is clear that this is not a client-side bug. The same should be assumed of DNS/NXDOMAIN.
In in the cases I list, many of the politicians knowingly are using these moral panics for engaging their demographics to vote for them, not because they actually care about the threats.

Or if FedEx can produce an audit trail indicating the odometers were faulty and had been replaced. A vehicle with 400,000 miles has seen a lot. If the dash gauges were replaced around 220,000 miles, then 180,000 miles have passed since then - and the new odometer will read 180,000.

It is normal practice to replace a broken odometer with a new one. That is not fraudulent. However, when that vehicle is sold the seller is legally required to flag the title.

A lot of liability depends on why the odometer was replaced, who transferred the title (does FedEx transfer the title to Holman before sending the vehicle to auction, or does Holman hold the title the entire time?), and whether the title was appropriately flagged as "Not actual mileage".
It doesn't take a lot of searching to find this feature giving a pretty large benefit, though?

A rebuilt engine is your engine where (hopefully) all needed to be replaced parts were actually replaced (locally).

A refurbished engine is another engine (identical to yours) where all needed to be replaced parts were (still hopefully) replaced.

The difference is that (it really depends on a case by case basis) your engine might need less parts replaced and the replacement is done by your local mechanic (all in all it can cost less in some cases).

With refurbished engines all parts in a given list are replaced, no matter their current condition, and the replacement is done by workers that usually do everyday exactly that.

The cost of a refurbished engine (you give them back yours that they will refurbish for next customer) can be a little less (including transport costs) because the refurbisher has spare parts cheaper due to quantity and personnel is faster (because they do this specific work everyday and have all the proper tooling) but often it is very similar.

Your advantages with a refurbished engine are that it is generally faster than a local rebuild, and usually you are offered some kind of warranty (which may not be the case for a local rebuild).

For a company, it is a way to minimize the stop of the vehicle and to place some responsibilities to the external supplier.
It's incredible how bad it is. Tiny icons of the most important actions, like copy, paste, rename, along the top that are unique designs with no tooltips. If an action isn't available it's not disabled, but missing entirely. This is all not to mention the new strange delay and how it doesn't match the theme of file explorer at all. And if you want to access to options not in the very limited default ones, you have to click "show more options" that opens the classic menu in the old theme. It's just a mess.
Yeah, I somewhat covered this, but that's a good point. I talked about the utility of being able to touch and interact with music.

I just wasn't think about the innovative control surfaces. There's no point from a audio engineering / sound design perspective. It's purely about UI.
>Cost, which still isn't solved yet.

I'd argue it _is_ solved... store your logs in S3. At ~$0.02/GB you can store a _lot_ of logs for like $20. The problem is that _most_ solutions (Honeycomb included) are SaaS-based solutions, and so they have to charge a margin on top of whatever provider is charging them.

You just need a tool (like log-store.com) that can search through logs when they're stored in S3!
> Mond in German is masculine ... Sun is feminine, Sonne

Those are derived from old Germanic deities (Sunna, Mani). I think the inversion of gender between German and Latin/Greek mythologies makes sense if you consider the latitude of the people. In the high latitudes, the sun is warm and gentle while the moon is present during cold nights that can kill you. Closer to the equator, the sun will kill you and the moon is gentle. I think they just gendered them based on the idea that women are gentle and men are hostile.

The answer is self-evident and I’m pretty confused by your confusion: because casting ballots are the best way we have to take account of the electorate’s opinions, and they specifically mitigate the exact dynamic you’re talking about.

A person who can camp out every single day in the lobby of a leader shouldn’t have greater say in the direction of society than a person who is working 12 hours per day in a factory.

To the extent that they do, it’s exactly a bug!

At this point I’m not even sure what you’re arguing. Seemed to go from “democracies aren’t about mandates” to “people with more free time have more influence” to “in any world where people with free time have more influence (all of them), democracy isn’t the right system?”

Sounds to me like just a convoluted argument for “I don’t like democracy.” Which, fine by me!
I think this comes down to people commenting out of their area of expertise. I remember hearing some expert (during the COVID outbreak) state that while they'd like to comment on some issue, they didn't have any particular expertise in the subject. It was refreshing not to have someone bullshitting.

Humans love facts, knowledge, and particularly answers to their questions and concerns, even when there are no good answers. Yet there's always someone willing to provide an answer, even when it's fundamentally wrong.
That argument is surprisingly similar to the one that Microsoft argued back in their antitrust case [1]: that "the merging of Windows and IE was the result of innovation and competition" and "that the two were now the same product and inextricably linked".

For those who were too young at the time, Microsoft lost the first instance of that trial and eventually reached a settlement.

My experience is that drugs, including prescription anti-depressants, when they work, make it easier to see that your thinking is more arbitrary than you realize. Having been seemingly locked-in to a particular perspective, taking a drug, and seeing things a different way, breaks the lock. Then you can't go back to your old thought patterns, not if you're honest with yourself. This effect is independent of the particular effects that occur while the drug is active in your system.
There is a salt mine up the road from me. The trucks start lining up for miles waiting for loads any time there is a winter storm expected.

The only difference between that salt and table salt is that there is additional processing to the salt done when destined for table salt to ensure purity and shape. So, yes, they don't literally use table salt, but it is the same raw ingredient.

It isn't weird at all. People form status hierarchies based upon whom they can trust. At a primal level, constancy gives people feelings of security.

This may be irrational, and it may not be the way we want people to be, but that is beside the point. It's a very human thing and a core part of politics, religion and interpersonal relations.

Show HN: I built a Q&A layer for research papers on top of arXiv.org
Hi there,

my name's Rafael and I am launching gotit.pub today! At the same time I'm "scratching my own itch". Let me explain:

Gotit.pub is an online platform where anyone can discuss research papers, as a layer directly on top of the paper itself.
I built it because it needs to exist and because I couldn't find any other place on the web that's doing this.

As part of my regular job I read plenty of research papers (Vision, Graphics, NeRFs, ML etc..) and often I find things that are still unclear to me after studying. I'm sure the authors or community could answer my questions easily but where to start? Open a ticket on Github? Write an email to the authors? Ask on SO? None of these are great because the context of the paper is lost and it's (ab)using the platforms for tasks they were not designed to do.

Arxiv.org has done a fantastic job democratizing the distribution of research (and it's winning! [1]). However it's only one-directional. The discussion and feedback channels are scattered, informal and/or inaccessible to many. I built gotit.pub to fix that.

Also, looking at HN, for many users the value lies in the attached discussion more than in the linked site itself. I believe that this model also applies to research articles and that in the future it will feel unnatural to read an interesting paper without having the community's comments as an attached layer.

I should mention that I have no PhD or ever worked in a research lab. Maybe (likely?) there's already an obvious solution to the discussion/feedback problem that I am not seeing. In that case I'm still happy to have built it because I know it'll be useful for me, personally :)

I hope though that many of you will find it useful too (let me have your feedback in the comments!).

Cheers!

PS: You can actually discuss any research paper, not just ones on arXiv.org!

PPS: For those interested, the whole site is built with Svelte / SvelteKit and a lot of PDF.js hackery. More bells and whistles to come, it's just MVP stage at this point. The quirky name is from another unrelated side-project of mine (gotit.dev) which builds on top of git but so far hasn't seen the light of day. I couldn't think of a good name for this one so I just adopted the name. Still fits, I think!

This happened on my new PC. I dual-boot Ubuntu with grub2. After Windows update, it booted into Windows immediately and bypassed grub. The EFI had been "fixed".

I worked around this by installing Ubuntu on a second SSD, then I can use my bios menu to change the boot device.
Not just that, but also all the bytes have to go through an extra pipe. Presumably they're copied an extra time because of this.

When you run "cmd < file", the command reads from stdin, which pulls directly from the file. When you do "cat file | cmd", "cat" opens the file, reads from there, and writes to a pipe. Then "cmd" reads from its stdin, which is a pipe.

I can believe that a roller coaster ride has similarities with a car crash, in terms of acceleration, but dancing?
If "handle error" in the catch involves rethrowing the error, or another error, or returning an error code from the function, the "finally" block is _still_ executed.

Here's a "fun" example in Javascript:

function foo() {
try {
return 42
} finally {
return "boo!"
}
}
The problem is when stuff like this happens, it is hard to say how many individuals died or have been negatively affected due to resources having issues getting to the right individuals.

If dancing can make an iphone call 911, then Apple has not done their job. You cannot achieve g-forces dancing anywhere close to a serious crash. This is pathetic and unacceptable.
If fresh, it should have a sort of grass like flavor that's spicy. Unfiltered olive oil is the best, but it doesn't last very long.
A typical example is a merge underway right now: Kroger and Albertsons are trying to merge. Apparently the CEO of Kroger has been quoted on a call as saying "We view a little bit of inflation as always good in our business." Albertsons is owned by a private equity (PE) firm Cerberus Capital Management. Another example is PE firms buying and merging veterinaries to reduce competition in the market [0]. Yet another example is PE firms buying up over half of the air ambulance Medicare market and jacking up prices [1]. This type of behavior is PE's bread and butter. There are thousands of examples.

In addition to private equity, there are also conflicts of interest from index funds. Institutional investors own over 80% of the S&P 500. Vanguard and BlackRock are the two largest shareholders of a majority of S&P 500 companies. This means BlackRock and Vanguard are the largest shareholder of American and United airlines. Some question whether or not this is also leading to higher prices [2].
