I'm happy paying for a few personal cloud servers, more than I need perhaps. I'm happy paying for a solid Internet connection, electricity, computers, hard drives, UPSs, etc. I'm happy for paying for VOIP PSTN connectivity, mobile connectivity, etc.

With very few exceptions (mostly arising out of expedience), I do not pay for software. I honestly do wish the dynamics of the software ecosystem were different, so that there would be any software worth paying for. But the harsh reality is that there is a stark divide between software that represents my interests aka Libre software, and proprietary software for which it's only a matter of time of when it will betray my interests, if it isn't already doing so out of the gate. And if I'm using software that is set up to betray me, such that I have to sandbox it to mitigate it (isolated VMs etc), then why the hell should I also be paying for the privilege of that hostile relationship?

This is the underlying divide that the user surveillance industry attempts to arbitrage. Startups offer what appears to be convenient software that mostly represents users, but then once users become dependent on it, cranks up the abuse and extraction. Instead of the shareware nag screen, it's a nag dopamine drip of habituated dependency.

One of the things that really needs to happen is anti-trust enforcement to stop this bundling of hosted services with software. Any company offering a service should be required to make that service available in a programmatic way to every authorized user, such that users can always use "third party" clients. This would drastically curtail the current bait and switch dynamic.
Anecdotally, I clicked the article, read nothing, and immediately listened to the first sound clip where I was able to make-out that it represented "CQ", but to be fair I'm a ham and "CQ" is by-far the most common morse code message.

All you need is a ternary system where there is dit, dah, and silence. Even just tapping on different parts of the "wall" can serve this purpose, so long as it is able to be differentiated.

Nope. Nothing of that nature. If "I have no idea" what I am talking about I freely admit to it and do not mind asking an explanation. It was mostly business dealing with various subcontractors including factories.

Q. Can you make this and that by 11 xteenth? And how much

A. Eh, meh followed by the story of their life.

Q. Ok let's try the other way. Give me a terms you are comfortable with

A. Blah, blah, blah ... Yap, yap, yap ... No real answer

I don’t think so… given breeds have different reputations, there’s no reason to expect that anything about their owners distributions to be random.

Hergé never had any higher education. The argument is also questionable in general, because why bring up children segregated and then force "diversity" later? Why don't people push for diversity in kindergartens? By the time someone is grown up they can already be a well developed racist.

Also on that note there were certainly plenty of Jews around when Hergé grew up and still he stereotyped them with the typical antisemitic stereotypes of the time. Just because he had a Chinese friend doesn't mean he was any less racist for it. That's a misconception, that's exactly what the US gets terribly wrong these days. Diversity is almost like a religion over there, yet some of the most racist things I've heard were from people that went to those kinds of universities.

Racist or not depends on the upbringing, the ideology one follows and generally if one subscribes to the pseudoscientific idea that there are separate human "races". What color people you know does not directly influence that. Else the world's racism could be cured by everyone knowing someone with a different skin color. South Africa is another sad example for how that doesn't work.

The performance characteristics of ARM, RISC-V, and x86 are the same under a server workload. So there's no reason to switch.
In the future, these games could come with their own nested game stores, bypassing the platform store. It wouldn't be an issue for Microsoft because they own both games and platform. It might be tough to accept for Sony.

Is it surprising that a mere overhang in the rock has been sufficient to preserve art for that long? It sounds like they really are just pigment on cleaned rock, and I would have thought that water dripping, wind, lichens, animals or _something_ over the millennia would have ruined it.
> 1) These models will lie to obfuscate their incompetence.

This is my problem with "act as a subject expert"-style prompts people give ChatGPT. I believe this causes the model to generate prose that appears more factual than it can actually be.

I'm a lot more interested in prompts in the style of "pretend you're an inexperieced person who has read a lot of books", in the hope that it generates resposes that would be more on-par with its actual ability.
Amazing to hear that you are creating your own resume generator. I have learned a lot while building this project and am happy to share thoughts if you have any questions. I document my code extensively so I hope it can be helpful reference too. In regards to ATS, basically company uses ATS software to parse resume info, the most ATS friendly resume structure is the simple single column resume design since it works best with the parser by being easiest to parse.
You're looking at revenue numbers, not profits. Profit in the utility industry is 0 on operations and maintenance expenses and 0-9% (depending on whether you are a public utility or co-op, of which there are many, and whether your regulator thinks you've been good or bad lately) on capital expenses.

Expenses must be approved by the regulator as well. How strict that is depends on the state but in New York for example it's approved at the department level. All utility salaries are below non-utility equivalents and keeping people from going to Google or Meta by paying higher salaries is effectively illegal.

This is not to boo-hoo for utilities. The ones that are for-profit do fine. But they are not parasitically extracting vast profits because that isn't allowed.
This is a great idea. I feel that the best total situation is 2 things:

1. A way to print the paths to all files visible that will be read for configuration. This means that if the user config file means the system config file is ignored, print only the user config file path. Alternatively print that the system file will not be read but show its path anyways. There's many ways to solve this and it depends on the way the app loads configs.

2. A way to print the final configuration after it's been loaded and validated. This should show what settings override others. For example if the user misunderstands the config merging or erroneously quotes a numeric value causing validation to fail, this would be a great way to triangulate that.

I've seen quite a few apps implement #2 but rarely do they have #1.
Sure, but the examples given have neither grace nor style.
I just recently re-read David Foster Wallace's E Unibus Pluram (1993), so this is fresh on my mind:

> Audience gets trained to respond to and then like and then expect trite, hackneyed, numbing television shows, and to expect them to such an extent that when networks do occasionally abandon time-tested formulas we usually punish them for it by not watching novel forms in sufficient numbers to let them get off the ground. Hence the networks' bland response to its critics that in the majority of cases – and until the rise of hip metatelevision you could count the exceptions on one hand – "different" or "high-concept" programming simply didn't get ratings.

> But it's still not fair to blame television's shortage of originality on any lack of creativity among network talent. The truth is that we seldom get a chance to know whether anybody behind any TV show is creative, or more accurately that they seldom get a chance to show us. Despite the unquestioned assumption on the part of pop-culture critics that television's poor Audience, deep down, craves novelty, all available evidence suggests rather that the Audience really craves sameness but thinks, deep down, that it ought to crave novelty.
There is no egress from windows in tall buildings. They don't open, it is too high for ladders. So it adds no safety in this context, so change the code.

Also, if you need a window for a bedroom to be safe, why not an office? People spend 8 hours in an office without a window. Mitigating fire risk in tall buildings is a serious issue, but you have sprinkler systems, internal stair exits, etc.
Awesome work! The builder is super comfy and intuitive. Just one request - would really like to mark in bold parts of a sentence.
Intel pairing up with SiFive shows the obvious path forward here where the new ISA is paired with existing tech from a large company.

If Intel decided to ship a core that could execute either x86 or RISC-V instructions, we could see massive adoption in no time at all.

My opinion after programming for 55 years: The field repeatedly expands beyond what your can mentally encompass. This is not because of cognitive decline. Trying to separate the effects of these two factors seems impossible. Two things are certain: you will have to repeatedly restrict your scope; and your productivity will continue to expand beyond what you thought would ever be possible. You do have to keep active in the field to avoid losing your edge though.
Most people go through the public school system - so childless or not, you could think of that tax as paying back for the education they already received.

If giving people the choice of an ad-free premium subscription was more profitable, they would do it. The issue with doing that is the users who pay are also the most desirable audience for advertisers.

A premium model also eventually creates two separate products. The free product is (at first) built for the needs of the users to attract them and get enough volume to support an advertisement model. Then, it is gradually built and focused toward the needs of the advertisers. That gradually shifts over time once the company has captured the market on both sides (this is a two-sided marketplace after all) to optimizing for the needs of the company. It’s harder to achieve this final end goal if you have a product that is optimized for the needs of the user, because you don’t have a two-sided marketplace anymore that can be exploited on both sides. Collecting money from businesses (advertisers) in bulk and providing them support can be easier and less costly than managing millions of premium users and supporting them.
Parents are allowed in, just not with their kids, much like people with dogs are allowed in without the dogs.

It's also funny that you are OK with "it is bad taste to have dogs running around", almost like it's your preference..

I just love how many architecture this runs on, even toasters!
I understand it's much more convenient to develop on the machine that has it all.

Further to the Godbolt suggestion, one band-aid is that Highway fairly efficiently emulates some of the fancier AVX-512 instructions such as CompressStore. You could then develop on AVX2, then rent 1 VCPU-hour to build and verify it indeed works on AVX-512.

As for the subsets of AVX-512, we defined them into groups matching Skylake and Icelake; that works pretty well. Zen4 would also support the Icelake features, but it gets its own target so that we can special-case/avoid the microcoded and super-slow CompressStore there.
For context, this is a well known slogan for the german state of Baden-Württemberg and I actually had the same association at first!
Hm. We had a SCons based build system around ten years back where we ran 10 different C++ compilers/toolchains for multiple native and cross build targets without any problems. Yes, we had to write some stuff on top of it, but after some systematic design, it went really smoothly.
Yeah, I've noticed this too.

It looks like the air quality models that iOS Weather is using are integrated into a single system, and then that system is asked to render maps in any of the different regions' AQI systems.

Which means, as OP has observed, if you open the map from one region, and then navigate the map viewer to another region, you can see how the AQI scoring system from the first region would evaluate the second. Which is rather interesting.

Also fwiw I've reckoned that these AQI models are clearly highly algorithmic, extrapolating and synthesizing data where sensors are not available.
This will never happen. Also it's not about "iotas of strategy", it's about politicians not caring. You can't make conservatives care about homeless housing, it simply doesn't compute, "get a job" is their answer to the chronically homeless who are usually either completely addicted to a substance or suffer severe mental issues.
I feel like I've heard people saying that about HN every month for the past 8 years and I've never observed any real pattern. Think there's just some observation bias going on: a website always seems like it's recently been worse than you remember, at any point in time, because you remember recent bad things but not further back ones.
Unless you want to self host, it is naive to think other password managers are not also the subject of attack
I would like to see what Chinese intelligence say about Signal and WhatsApp. What applications they recommend to use? Better use the apps Chinese intelligence recommend for their employees in the West and vice versa. Use NSA's recommended apps in China, Russia and other places.

Remember Crypto AG in Switzerland, owned by CIA. Chinese and Russians never bought Crypto AG secure phone systems.

Further: programs should use well-defined libraries to manage config and data file location. As easy as it is to roll your own, a library can and should handle cases you don’t need to worry about.

Python has platformdirs for this. It handles XDG and a number of corner cases.

https://pypi.org/project/platformdirs/

Ideally the OS you deploy to should handle this as well.
Ducted fan, very high power consumption though for the thrust.
>"It's just stupid."

They might have different opinion. As long as they do not affect you directly judging people is not very good idea.
But you do realise non-technical people (i.e. most of the world) will click those links, don’t you? Password managers have a convenient and secure solution to the problem and you’re offering an alternative which requires teaching and convincing everyone to act differently in a very specific situation to prevent a situation that rarely happens but is potentially catastrophic when it does.

You can download the IPFS desktop app and browse IPFS freely without the need of a centralized gateway. Brave can use the desktop app for its native IPFS support. If you intend to use it to share anything, you need some extra setup, though.

I don't think any browsers have IPFS built in. For IPFS to be at its most useful (as in, your computer exchanging data with the network and actually participating in it), you need things like port forwards or IPv6 pinhole support, and I don't think that's something many people will do.

Edit: Brave supports IPFS natively these days. Go to brave://settings/web3 and set "Method to resolve IPFS resources" to "Brave local IPFS node".

What I'd do if I lived in Germany is every day read the front page of the newspaper, looking up every word I didn't know.

Due to the internet, I encounter a lot more German than I used to. For example, Netflix runs a lot of movies Auf Deutsch, and I try to figure out what they're saying.
The way things are going I’m sure there will be some questioning the temperature and humidity values and how we really know if they are true or not.
Lol I lived in a basement with no windows for half of my college education, it was fine. People adapt. Shelter is almost as important as food and sometimes more important, otherwise you freeze to death.
I feel like the quotidian definition of war would be something like 'state induced violence to coerce results' and so, no, a policy that is specifically not violent and indeed is being done instead of violence would be definitely not-war. I suppose you can stretch the definition to include it. But if 'anything that kills people' is war, then like, not having universal Healthcare is war, as is understaffing emergency rooms... So that is clearly not a useful definition of war.
Every thread would be a few gems of info sinking in an ocean of "I don't know."

I think the problem is that when a user base is small it tends to attract specialists who have sought out that content, and who's contributions make it useful/interesting to others. If the site becomes successful and more mainstream, then it will attract more and more non-specialists - the peanut gallery who have an opinion on everything and expertise on nothing.

I have a 5-digit slashdot user id, and saw this play out over there. In the early days it was great, and (believe it nor not) highly technical - lots of subject matter experts in the comments. If you look at slashdot today it has become entirely useless.

The same thing played out at Reddit on /r/machinelearning - it used to be frequented by researchers and experts, but as ML/AI became popular the crowds moved in and now that too is useless.

I joined Hacker News in 2017, so have no idea how it was before then, but it doesn't seem to have changed much in that timespan, still attracting a mostly technical and intelligent crowd, at least if one ignores the lower rated comments.

Instagram was like that for me ever since I know it, couldn't bother creating an account though. If it's important, there are scraping sites to visit Instagram profiles by name without an account.

Regarding the block/redirect: technically they could have used the MutationObserver API to track your usage of the DevTools to remove the modal. Have had the same experience a while ago if I'm not misremembering. But I'd also assume they're just counting requests without login per IP, much simpler.
If you open any post with a lot of comments and you want to load more comments you must create an account - no option to disable. They really want to smother all mobile but the app.

I'm the hardbin guy.

Since I wrote the post about the DMCA takedown notices the other day, someone kindly offered to provide alternative hosting for hardbin.com that should be more resilient to bogus DMCA takedowns, so happily hardbin.com is back online (but not operated by me any more).

Also I emailed Sean Lang (the guy with the github repo with dozens of example DMCA emails from these guys) and it turns out that in the last few months he also took his IPFS gateway offline because dealing with the takedowns was too much trouble.
It wouldn't if they opened up the hardware.

The sad part is that practically all patrons that could hear you will just label you as a "Karen". The owners will not change their ways. It works for them, their client base and the vast majority of potential clients.

I don't really have a strong opinion on the subject, but in my life, Doberman Pinchers and German Shepherds have gone through phases of being seen as dangerous breeds as well. My suspicion is that owners who desire aggressive dogs also tune into this and train their dogs accordingly.
