I agree that women should be allowed to compete, and it is a travesty that they are denied the attempt.

Your points about women winning TRC and RAAM are interesting (and extremely impressive!), but they do not translate to the type of contest that the Tour de France is. The Tour has fixed stages each day, whereas RAAM or TRC appear to be an overall completion time. That means that one could ride for longer each day, or have better navigation, or better preparation, and win.

Combined with how these are less popular races, and the winner Leah was 52 at the time of winning (surely that is not the ideal age for such an achievement), and I am unconvinced that in a more rigorous and popular setting like the Tour that women cyclists could be directly competitive with men.

Additionally, I briefly researched ironman race times and marathon times -- two endurance sports that came to mind. In neither case were the best women's times particularly competitive with men (at least 10% slower). Those aren't as long races as the Tour, but they do provide data points that align with all other physically demanding sports I know of: at the very top tier, women (sadly) cannot physically compete with men.

In smaller sports, races or venues, the very top tier athletes may not be present, and in those cases women can often compete with men. But at larger scales there is sadly less variance, in my experience.

> has been ruthlessly optimized for power savings by the biggest companies in the world

It has been ruthlessly optimized to save power for servers with greatly documented hardware structures.

It has not been optimized for Desktop OS, for Bluetooth, Sleep, WiFi, graphics card power saving etc.

I am a tab zero guy, for the record. I've been using computers since Windows 3, so I'm very sensitive towards intensive processes.

My wife can watch netflix on her (5 year old) Macbook for hours. I lose 13% battery life on one episode. I leave my laptop on sleep off the charger, and it is dead sleeping after a few hours. Linux users may hack their way to lower battery usage, but they still do not have it like Mac does.

You must simply leave it on the charger and turn it off when you are done. They are portable desktops.
Until you want to scale and optimize resources.

I enjoy working with Kubernetes, but forcing a complex domain into something legible is a recipe for catastrophe. There are quirks, across cloud providers, and this is just another day in Ops, with or without Kubernetes. (See: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-call... )

>Suffice to say: I have. Several people who were on self-destructive paths, of whom you could have said "well fuck him, the fucker doesn't want help and is a burden to those around him, why should I waste money and effort with him?". With the necessary support they are now entirely different persons.

I didn't get the impression that the parent was against help. He explicitly mentioned providing rehab programs to those who wanted them.
That is non sense. Like any peace of art, code can be a delight to contemplate or an awful experiment that was done as is just because, see, it's possible.

Of course 99% of everything is crap, and no one like to ingest crap.

Add to that impossible deadlines and usual exponential accumulation of hot fixes to a point where a bright new product will be more effective than paying the technical debt. Crafting software is on far worse road than most form of art.

All that said, yes, there are great peaces of code that are a delight to contemplate.

Call me old school, but licking the tip of my finger and carefully touching parts has worked for me in the past! (You usually get a sense for which parts are the most likely to generate heat fairly quickly, so it's just a matter of confirmation.)
How could this be unclear? They are both narratives. They both have characters. Why wouldn't a concept about characters from one map to the other? Do you think fanfic characters and official movie characters are incompatible types? I have never read or written a fan fic and encountered this term countless times in discussion of media.

I'm honestly baffled how you can't imagine a movie with a character embodying the qualities described in the tvtropes entry.
Yep, that's how it's done. Good luck!
To expand on staticman2's reply, the size of the set of ChatGPT users says nothing about its composition, and it certainly includes AI researchers, representatives of companies looking to build their own bots, and no doubt many people exploring the thing just for fun. The number of users by itself therefore says nothing about whether or not people in general want to interact with bots for customer service queries, since it could be that, say, 95% of ChatGPT users are there because they want to learn more about ChatGPT, not because they generally enjoy fulfilling daily tasks with the help of a computer.
> I think attention seeking is either pathological or for making money.

For a few decades we've been bombarded with the idea that our career depends mostly on our visibility instead of our qualifications and experience, that our next job will certainly be dictated by our social graph, and that getting ourselves known is key to have a good career.

Consequently, we see a whole universe of self-promoting loudmouths generating noise just to get themselves out there.

Perhaps this is a US thing that's leaking.
Dishonest? I didn't hide that fact: "Removing the GIL will require a new ABI, so existing C-API extensions will minimally need to be rebuilt and may also require other changes. Updating C-API extensions is where the majority of work will be if the PEP is accepted."
> I just couldn't find any combination of plugins and programs that made it feel right.

This: I recently moved to Linux. I was happy on Windows, because with the right combination of plugins and programs it felt just right + I could get everything I wanted hardware-wise.

Last time I checked, this is not possible on Mac. You get a good battery life, but I don't care about that - I'd rather have a Zen3 AMD but I'm happy with my current laptop.

With Linux, I don't have to fight my OS to get everything the way I want it to be, I can get a nice 4k OLED touchscreen on my Laptop with an internal LTE/5G module so I don't have to carry a phone just for getting online, etc.

BTW I use arch (lol) and I think I'll stay - mostly thanks to Arch because before that I didn't like Linux due to Ubuntu questionable choices that made me prefer Windows before.

If you haven't already, take a look at the official Tour's highlights (only 8-10min though) - I find the broadcast and editing better than NBC's. They're usually decently quick to come out too post-stage.

You can't get scores for other people's comments, only your own. You could crudely infer popularity from position in a thread, but I'm not sure you could actually get something meaningful there

Aero barrier and/or spray foam for an existing home should work well. But they are not long lasting and are often not environmentally friendly. You can also look into exterior insulation.

If possible and if you have the funds, try to do a retrofit:

It might be controversial, but I agree. The battery life can smooth out the issues for some people, but I have a plug everywhere I need.
I understand your concerns, but let me zoom out a little here and talk about the nature of open source.

Open source means that the source code which is developed for a piece of software is fully open (i.e, anyone can read, fork, modify the code) for what they are installing.

According to your definition, it would be really hard to do anything that is fully, end to end, open source. We've developed the code on Macs, hosted the code on GitHub, written plugins for Obsidian and GitHub, hosted the website on AWS. All of those are closed sourced software.

https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/open-source/what-is-open-so...

That being said, we are planning to integrate an open source LLM soon. When we added chat, Open AI just had the best one, but the space is changing so quickly. We're both super enthusiastic about seeing all the open source tooling for this stuff evolve.
The technical solution is to make the output of having denied permission identical to the output of there being no data. On iOS, if you deny permission to access devices on the local network, the app has no way of knowing - it just sees that there are no devices available.

What do you find so crazy about it? Dynamically typed languages like these can be fast. It has already been demonstrated with Common Lisp and, more recently, JavaScript. Not only that, but LuaJIT has shown that you don't need impossibly complicated techniques or man-decades of effort to get very good performance. In Python's case, the main obstacle to improving the implementation isn't any feature of the language itself, but the giant ball and chain that is the C API.
I disagree with their term “mimic”, as if anything mimics would be their own social class (see for instance clickbait/“prank” channels on YT, content creators on TikTok), but the underlying principle is correct.

He is not stating they will never produce anything original ever, that’s simply absurd. However he is saying consistent content creation is few and far between compared to the masses who lurk. And that it’s unreasonable to expect different given that real life obligations such as work sap away a good portion of our energy.
Ask HN: What are some examples of successful major software rewrites?
Related to this discussion[1] and the classic Things You Should Never Do[2] can people share some examples of successful rewrites of well known systems?

I am sure there are good reasons to rewrite software but I have seen so many projects attempt some major rewrite that ultimately fail to deliver on the promised value, take a lot longer than expected, and end up with a whole bunch of new problems that the old system didn't have.

I like contemplating all code and thinking about ways to improve it. I've made a career of being a code janitor.
Really sad news. I use XD since it was released, it is not perfect but it is robust and has a decent feature coverage. I tried Figma and the first day was a disaster. The UI is cluttered, the ontology is overly complicated and the worst: the web app aspect. It has thrown 401 errors on me, I never thought a desktop app would throw http errors. It is far more resource demanding than XD, and it lags everywhere, the flow from design to prototype mode is too slow, it does not feel it is “batteries-included “ like XD. Sure, it has a lot of functionality, but I don’t need them for 99% of projects. Being too “capable”, you’re forced to use the complex toolset also for simple tasks. Not every project needs comprehensive design modularization, so Figma is terrible for quick prototyping and one-offs. Figma sure focus too much on being the tool for large projects, with modularization, collaboration, etc. But again, most of projects are just simple and small. It does not have the Adobe “feel”. I design with Adobe tools since I was a kiddo and their tools have a dry and robust feeling to it. Almost as if you were directly manipulating objects within an OOP environment. They don’t try too hard to create sugary abstraction layers. Being like that it allows you to get a grip of the system and it makes them pretty hackable. XD has the “worse is better” thing going for it. While Figma seems to be the “right thing” but poorly executed. M&A is the sure way to destroy a company’s DNA.

This is ARM. The cpu isn't the only thing. Memory and disk io are also very good. Also portable/laptop and desktop aren't the same. Mx also has good accelerators for x86 and encoding tasks, so it will depend on what you do.

Next gen AMD mobile is also looking very good. AMD 7000 series mobile is really nice, but battery life isn't quite there compared to Apple.

The identifiers weren't the (technical) problem. It was that the taxation office collected information on an annual basis whereas the benefits law is based on fortnightly income. Of course, the real problem was that a single APS4 had vastly more moral fibre and leadership quality than the Minister, Secretary, and Deputy Secretary put together.
Sounds like defective devices. Haven't had a single issue like that on any of our fleets. (mixed T2, M1, M2 devices, around 210 per fleet, around 7 fleets in 3 different countries)

We have had self-discharge on HP ProBooks and EliteBooks but that was due to a bad USB-C implementation and was fixed with third-party chargers. Some older Dells had it too, but that was with dual power input (USB-C and classic barrel) and switching over to the legacy chargers didn't have that issue. Those run a mix of Windows and Linux.
Do you mean that the format requires a mix (e.g. mixed doubles tennis) or that a mix was not forbidden, and occurred with positive results?
One middle ground between requiring location access and failing to run at all would be to ask the user to provide an address. That way the user would have some control over what info they provide.

This is why the proposal is to, by default, reenable the GIL at runtime (and print a warning to stderr) whenever a C extension is loaded, unless that extension explicitly advertises that it does not rely on the GIL.
I've flagged a few myself. More frequently than posts, though, are politically charged comments.

There's not a lot of thoughtful debate around them, mostly just people repeating the same tired points back and forth.
The problem is that is only so helpful anyway because you have to send the data to the front end and then translate it back, and in my experience that is where most of the issue is. If you are building a front end facing site you are constantly going to be fighting with that.
Genuinely this sounds more like complain that old echo chamber changed in ideology.

Maybe they want to have finer details on page content, e.g: "you can index those pages but not those nodes" or "those nodes are also AI generated please ignore".

Otherwise I don't know, robots.txt is not sexy but definitely does the job.
> As is typical Apple fashion, it’s not documented anywhere that’s easy to find.

I agree Apple’s documentation is terrible, but if there is no limit (any more) then there would little reason to document that.
I'll grant you that people driving into the sea is not a regular occurrence, but local news of people driving the wrong way up one way streets or onto unpaved roads and getting stuck happens way more often.

I guess on a planetary scale that's vanishingly rare, but most things are at that scale too.

If we're going to think at those levels, nothing that happens in the UK really matters as we're less than 1% of the world's population...
Not while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were down on the surface of the moon. Michael Collins remained in orbit around the moon. Once every forty-odd minutes (the duration of his lunar orbit), he was separated by the entire diameter of the moon (over 3400 km) from the nearest two humans, and completely cut off from radio contact with anyone.
I don't know if there is a good write-up on it but the APR Apache Portable Runtime Library 1.6 to 1.7 rewrite / refactor that allowed the performance of Apache to be on par with NGinx at the time I would call a successful major software rewrite or refactor. (Apache 2.2.x to Apache 2.4.x) The changes in performance were a night-and-day difference especially in combination with mpm-event.
I don't think the UI is annoying so much as different from what you may be used to. For me the annoyance is a few different key bindings. I like some parts of Windows, Linux (Gnome, KDE) and Mac... I have my Budgie desktop setup with a mix of the three.
You pass basic safety net. You do this by claiming that your device is an older device that doesn't support hardware attestation. I can only assume that in some small number of years hardware attestation is going to be required and will require software exploits to work around.

> Fighting the debt notices proved extraordinary difficult, as the onus of proof required citizens to provide documents proving the debt was incorrect. As the program looked back at years of payment history, many simply couldn't find records of past income – or lack of it.

How would you even prove a lack of income for a specific period of time (shorter than I assume annual tax reports)?
There are plenty of things to look at, though it seems to be a constant maw that is never satisfied.

And on the other hand there are "influencers" and "content producers" and "digital marketers" who want to slip into that gap, but know full well that their contribution is not of any value. They're trying to be middle men in a world that's overconnected already. They plagiarize and copy and SEO and use generated content in the hopes of snagging a fraction of a cent simply by being in the way.

I don't mean that as personally derogatory as it sounds. I don't know them or their story. But I've seen many thousands of human lives spent in quiet desperation and wish that there was a better way to use the mind they were born with.
I have already given credit to your know-how in this domain in another comment. You would be 99th percentile in knowledge, passion and experience compared to others around here. But maybe there are few ideas from the article we wished implemented in all schools. The author comes from a place of good intention.

Sustained initiative from people like yourself, backed by policy and support from the government can do wonders. And I and most people in this thread are grateful for what you do on the ground level already.
I think there needs to be a much tighter definition of what the API is and not just the entire surface area.

So if a project does a major update of one of its deps, without changing its own API, or deprecates support for an old language version or distro, it should be able to ship those in a minor version.

That means that consumers who aren't keeping up with the times may be cut off in a minor update and have to do work to consume the next update. There needs to be less of an expectation that "it isn't a major update, so I won't have to lift a fucking finger and its your fault if I need to" which is what SemVer has socially turned into.

Proper term is that it's a "false abstraction"...

It abstracts some work only to introduce introduce it's own API (which is ultimately more complicated, less documented, introduces limits and constraints, and comes with its own bugs and dev politics)...

But nobody asked me, keep using it
I think the hope is to get there eventually, but since it's a big change, they're doing it one step at a time.
Original Ventoy is a boot utility - a shim that boots ISO image files.

You run the included script, it installs onto the USB thumb drive you select, and then you can copy ISO images to the USB filesystem.

Each ISO automatically becomes a GRUB boot menu option.

This thing is fantastic.

iVentoy is the same idea, over a local network. PXE is a very old and pervasive standard for booting a computer by discovering a special network file server.

You wouldn't need a thumb drive at all - the client is in the BIOS of the motherboard and network interface.

Original idea dates from a time when mass storage - more than a few megabytes - was too expensive to install in each workstation, and we ran everything, including OS system files, on the file server. And we liked it.
