So you do that analysis. Two downstream distros of RHEL have said that they cannot continue to offer RHEL rebuilds/updates without substantial changes. That means that it is not possible to use CentOS stream alone to build RHEL packages. You are free to do all the analysis in the world.
Totally possible. Here’s a link to a game recently released on Steam that is written in Haskell and whose source is open: https://github.com/incoherentsoftware/defect-process

I recently hacked together an asteroids clone in Haskell with SDL2 and not much else. It’s not super pretty but it works.

I’ve talked to folks who’ve been using the newer effects libraries taking advantage of the new delimited continuation primops in GHC 9.6 for their game dev. Even with very high level libraries their reporting acceptable performance.

With enough dedication I’m certain anyone could make whatever game they wanted in an FP language.
This is extremely common on CPUs and GPUs. gx104 from Nvidia was famously identical to gx100 with cache, cores fused out, probably because they were defective. It's a good way to increase yield for monolithic dies.
This is contrived. You can do a good job bagging groceries, but no society will ever elevate that to "greatness". Colloquially it's either in reference to mastery, or prolific/high-impact work as society is concerned.

I also inherited the family photoalbums and ended up burning MANY pictures.

I learned from this the dishonest attempts at "making right" were exactly that: dishonest.

My own mother had a streak for photographing nudes (myself included) and she "promised" that these had all been destroyed. They had not. They now are.
Holy HN interaction. You have kids? Look beyond your logic for a second. You’re saying “oh man, it really isn’t a big deal to upload videos of your children that strangers can beat their meat to, because they aren’t being actively raped.”

The BSA runs a "snitch" program that disgruntled employees and competitors can use to report pirated software. This is how many businesses get raided. The person that I know also suspects that his company got raided because someone reported them.

Definitely not. It’s a total coincidence that the F-35 VTOL system is very similar to the innovative Soviet one used on the Yak-141 …
While your defense of Lisp and its historical significance is admirable, I believe your critique oversimplifies the realities of software development and unfairly caricatures those who favor more mainstream languages. The adoption of a language in commercial settings isn't a dismissal of Lisp's merits, but a pragmatic choice driven by considerations such as maintainability, developer availability, and the robustness of language ecosystems.

It's not about moving "on" from Lisp as if it's outdated, but about moving "with" the ever-evolving field of programming where different languages serve different purposes. Despite Lisp's strengths in exploratory programming, its steep learning curve, and a relative lack of widely used libraries and tools compared to languages like Python or Java, can make it a less practical choice in certain environments.

Moreover, attributing a project's success solely to its initial Lisp prototype overlooks the fact that many different languages could be used to prototype effectively. The successful completion and deployment of any software involve various factors beyond the choice of initial prototyping language.

There's room for a multitude of languages in the programming world, each with their strengths and weaknesses. Dismissing those who choose other languages as simply not understanding Lisp's value is an oversimplification and fails to account for the complex factors that influence language choice in different scenarios.
> How are current economic conditions worse than two of the greatest crashes in US history?

I'll present most of FL as an example. During those crashes, one could still subsist on 2 typical incomes. FF to today and basic expenses have skyrocketed; it takes 4 typical incomes to live tight. Worse is that expenses are still climbing fast.

The economy may be spectacular for some folks but it pales against the expenses faced by most folks.
In my experience (granted, I'm in a research lab, so there's likely a bias compared to regular industry), CS/CE are somewhat unique in that way. Most CS/CE people don't have to touch most of what they've studied, as a CE I took classes on lasers, radio, convex optimization, quantum computing, op amps etc but haven't had to use the detailed knowledge from the classes at all. Many professors even commented in the classes themselves that most of the content was not likely to matter in industry.

My most useful classes have been math as they gave me the fundamentals to pick up enough of other fields to work with them. To the point that I often joke that I got an applied math degree rather than computer engineering.

But, in comparison, the physics, EE, mechanical engineering etc people I work with frequently use the stuff they learned from school.
Police in the US at least used to carry batons but I've never seen one used.

Sharks are dumb. They’re not experimenting they’re making mistakes.
For one it would prove that they have at least -some- self control and self discipline. Also the military basically keeps 19 year olds in tight reign with an clean line of command and a lot of training to do what you're told with relatively very rare combat situtations and when they get in those situations they are surrounded by others doing exactly the same thing, rather than alone (or at most a partner) in a community that hates cops.
Is it any surprise that the vulnerable fleet is Delta Airlines?...190 planes that lack altimeters. They are also not cancelling flights.
Adam Tooze acknowledges Mearsheimer's analysis.
His criticism of Mearsheimer is more subtle.

My take is that Mearsheimer triggers cognitive dissonance.

yea, let's equip boats that can't handle an orca with guns that shoot projectiles through meters of water

it's like trying to solve school shooting, by giving teachers guns
It’s a gray area imo, there is no way of obtaining meaningful consent from those children, even if they are your own, but in the same vein the photographs are presumably one-off and not strongly associated with their identity as they grow, causing the privacy aspect to almost become a non-issue in the long term.
I wasn’t saying he’s smarter than you! I was just saying he’s one example of someone who has been saying for a decade or so that we’re headed for conflict in Eastern Europe. That he overestimated to rationality of world leaders is entirely besides the point. Parent said “nobody” but there have been many somebodies.
> Whether it's practical is another question.

I imagine that comes down to how smart the compiler is.
> Even if it's just letting it ring instead of sending the unwanted call to voicemail

It doesn't work like that. They have let's say 10 operators and a dialer that calls say 25 numbers from a ring buffer of say 10000 numbers; the first 10 to answer within x rings are diverted to the available operators, and remaining numbers are pushed back on the list tail, then when operators become available, other groups of numbers are called and diverted to them, and again those who don't answer are pushed back in the list. If you don't answer, they'll lose only a few seconds max. The best way to fight this crap is to have them actually waste their time, so that whoever is paying those operators will lose money and get nothing in return.

Of course, AI will render this completely useless since they won't have anymore real people to pay, however I would anyway keep wasting their time, if not because that would keep one of their exit phone lines busy, which means one less call to a potential victim.
> Well, it's the customers that suffer due to higher tariff-induced prices.

Indeed? Except the customers are also getting paid better because they now have jobs instead of shipping those jobs overseas.
I honestly find podcasts to be excellent time wandery time, especially if they are of a panel format. Fade in and out of the conversation while you go for a walk.
I think that's a better strategy in theory, but in practice it doesn't really make a big difference. I mute all calls that don't come from my contact list, and I go back and block the caller afterwards. I still get telemarketing calls almost every day. For years and years I've been doing this. I don't think their systems are smart enough to know that I'm never going to talk to them and it's a waste of their time.
appreciate the info! I'll read up on it.
One might be forgiven for wondering if PG gets paid by the word.
From the OnStar microphones listening, the driver-facing cameras watching, and the always-on wifi broadcasting, the present state of the auto industry's offerings certainly have a whiff about them of a major intelligence operation dating back decades. See stories about Crypto AG to grasp the lengths the intelligence community will go to to gain an information advantage. Cars are rolling blackmail machines, today.
> And than a Stinger fails while being fired from, say, a F-35. And it fails catastrophically, resulting in the loss of the aircraft and, worst case the pilot.

I'm guessing that Stinger missiles, just like any other machine, have a failure rate above 0% already.

If we can produce them more quickly, efficiently, etc., but that failure rate increased that might be worth it if we get to produce more missiles.

Or maybe the new missiles are cheap enough that targets we previously couldn't cost effectively engage can be added to the menu.

Even in war, "good enough" is still important.

We can just as easily lose that F35 because we didn't have any missiles to launch, so it didn't even take off.
What an interesting read! Thanks for sharing!
IMO it is not OK because there are long lasting implications (some creepy dude comes to mind, but I digress) that could impact their lives well past childhood. And as a child they cannot properly consent, and I do not trust parents to look out for their kids best interests. It would seem history has supported this theory with lots of anecdotes haha. Again, just my 2c.
Ridiculous, it’s on the headset operators to keep the devices at safe levels. That’s like me sending you a fax and you suing me for a papercut you gave yourself with it.
Moreover, if you can come up with an attack that’s a workplace safety violation against the call center, they’ll have to come up with some kind of countermeasures to protect their workers’ ears if they don’t want to get sued and shut down. Do this enough times and the costs to them may exceed the benefits.

(Mind you, this only applies to call centers operated at the behest — employment or contractual — of companies that are headquartered in places that actually have workplace safety regulations. Won’t protect you from scammers operating out of developing nations. But it might cause a technological differentiation between scammer tech and other call-center tech; at which point it would become possible to detect scam calls just by the “sound” of them, and have middleboxes drop them.)

It's entirely possible there were other incidents and the loss of ship and crew was just written off to "lost at sea".
I saw your comment and am wondering what in particular you are struggling with.

Sharks are much dumber than orcas but that's not saying much. They do take experimental nibbles on people, and occasionally follow through and actually eat people.

AMD GPU support in linux is a bit of a flip flop. Some generations seem to get a lot of love and work really damn well (sometimes with better and broader support than the windows drivers) like RDNA2 and most Polaris cards. Others such as Vega and specially now RDNA3 are a shitshow with a lot of things just broken.
The orcas are attacking small sailboats, which tend to have less of an environmental impact… less engine use, quiet, fewer people on board, very small scale fishing (if at all). It’s weird to be rooting against this sort of ship when cruise ships and trawlers are the real problem - and also pretty difficult to attack. Will you count it as a success if people favor larger powerboats over small sailboats?
SolidWorks (and Catia upmarket), Siemens NX are the two most popular in the field that Inventor/Fusion plays in. 2d Autocad is pretty entrenched in some industries with no real competition.

> Kafka never married. According to Brod, Kafka was "tortured" by sexual desire … his life was full of "incessant womanising" and that he was filled with a fear of "sexual failure".[64] Kafka visited brothels for most of his adult life[65][66][67] and was interested in pornography.[63] In addition, he had close relationships with several women during his lifetime. On 13 August 1912, Kafka met Felice Bauer, a relative of Brod's, who worked in Berlin as a representative of a dictaphone company. A week after the meeting at Brod's home, Kafka wrote in his diary:
The main reason I’ve ended up migrating Jest projects to mocha is for backend integration tests using the db. Jest is clearly built for the frontend first. It needs workarounds to run sequentially. That’s important for setting up and tearing down a certain specific backend app state for a test. startup scripts (db teardown and migrations maybe) are tough to configure with typescript, or even at all. generally typescript is tough to configure at all with Jest. Nested tests do not always work predictably with setup and teardown. The mocking and spies aren’t as good as Sinon or nock. expect doesn’t allow a fallback error message like plain assert (just a pattern, no lock in to jest there). running jest with a debugger requires annoying re-configuration per specific test in Jetbrains because Jest has its own VM, doesn’t pick up subtle config, and jest doesn’t often run your code in the same way as plain nodejs due to the vm.
Thoughts on Flash – Steve Jobs [pdf]
I have always wondered is greatness is something we see in retrospect and in the middle of all the work - do we really see it as great. What keeps us ticking to do the work?

The passion, the finish line, the eye on the goal, the fleeting moment of accomplishment?

And do you really see work as a product of your life's output. Or the way you live your life as one dedicated to the work. Are your relationships, your friendships, your contribution to your immediate environment around you motivators?
And they are! However Red Hat is then free to terminate their business relation with you.

Common guys, read the post again! The message here is about the form, not the content. Sure, one could find the best book/videos on the internet and shape himself till the final sensei form is obtained. But, unless motivated by some life changing events, 90% of us clearly lack the spine for keeping close-to-max effort for longer time periods (including me aswell).
Very cool.

Looks similar to my own project. I think we even used the same case for the display.

The BSA has been active here for more than 2 decades now. And they cooperate with local law enforcement. Pirated software can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars - so the cops simply can't ignore financial crimes this big.

I've also heard that they ignore stuff like music and movies on those PCs, because it's too much work to prove whether they are legal or not, and they cost peanuts compared to stuff like AutoCAD licences.

But with software - you only have to ask the accounting department for receipts.
What about movies and TV? Obviously there are a lot of messed up child actors. Should all characters be played by adults at least 18 years old?
I don’t disagree that it shows these issues, but identifying these empirically is one of the reasons the US likes to constantly inject itself into international conflict.
there is bound to be some kind of response if this remains a trend; and given that some of these boats are having their fin/bulb keels seemingly targeted by these animals means that the crews of the boats are in some greater level of mortal peril than is already provided by the hobby..

I feel bad for the animals, but sailing doesn't seem to be going anywhere as a global interest and boats produced are getting to be more and more fragile in the search for performance. I imagine that it's only a matter of time until there will be a violent reaction when a crew feels that they're in mortal danger -- all I can hope for is that it produces a recognition of danger that also sweeps through the Orca community as a trend and they start to avoid yachts for the sake of both parties.

When I watch the videos I just kind of think it's like watching a cat scratching themselves and rubbing up against anything with an edge on my desk. Wholly benign behavior that is a detriment simply due to their scale compared to us.
While intelligence definitely does do this stuff, I think the relentless drive for monetizable surveillance data and other sources of recurring revenue is a more immediate and pervasive motive.

Literally every single business incentive pushes companies to build in as much telemetry and as many opportunities for subscription revenue or profitable data harvesting as possible. It’s become downright hard to resist since all your competitors are doing it and your shareholders demand it.

A lot of people don’t realize how much money you can make selling high quality (read: invasive) data. Look into what data brokers pay. Every car can generate a secondary recurring revenue stream this way.

Mass surveillance for targeted advertising is the primary business model of all B2C networking technology.

This can only be fixed with legislation, but it would take a massive grassroots campaign to override all the many interests who like things this way.

If only people cared about important stuff like this half as much as they do about the latest culture war freak out.
That’s not the point. Twitter has a non-exclusive license to distribute the content; it’s not the owner of the data regardless of the high horse Musk feels like riding today.

I want the clock on my shelf to be beautiful retro clock hardware. That's my vision. Not an old phone.

There are technical reasons not to do this too. I'd like to add in a thermometer so it can have an indoor temperature display.

I have a cheap non-smart clock on my desk here that has an indoor and outdoor sensor, and it would suck if the much fancier clock I am making can't have that feature. I'm sure you can think of other sensors that would be interesting to have on such a unit.
This is not the first time orcas have shown an awareness of us in boats: through the second half of the 1800s orcas in Australia actually helped whalers hunt baleen whales: herding the prey, and even grabbing ropes in their mouths to help haul, in exchange for the most valuable (to them) parts of the carcasses.
