It's relegated to niche and die-hard users.

This is not entirely true. I am not allowed to mention their names but there are a myriad of companies that use PGP in their software integrations. It is very heavily used for B2B in the financial world. That isn't to say that devs don't shake their fists in anger when trying to do QA testing on software/library matrix of tools that businesses use with PGP, there is plenty of that.

On a personal level I have taught many in my circle to use GPG with Thunderbird as it is really just a couple clicks to set it up and no effort to use it. Mozilla did a great job making that easy to use though I have no doubt that prior implementations had soured peoples experiences to the point of not wanting to try it again.

Some of your examples are real issues though. Mailing lists are a pseudo-problem in that it doesn't really make sense to use on a public distribution. I've seen it used on Usenet in that fashion long ago but adoption was low for that use case and people complained they could not read the messages not intended for them and that they should use email directly to the people it was intended for instead.

What happens when you email more than one person? What entity handles the encryption for each recipient?

The email client handles this.

That's super funny, as the Gnome project is very widely regarded as either ignoring their users desires, or being dismissive of them.

Perhaps instead of adding telemetry, they need to... actually start listening to their users (finally)?

Ha! Like that will ever happen.

Even in the early days of the App Store on the iPhone/iPod Touch it seemed like there was so much opportunity for new types of games and experiences that could be made with the new formfactor/input method compared to prior gaming handhelds. Games like Doodlejump and Angry Birds weren't anything revolutionary, but they were at least simple little time killers you could pay a few bucks for and you got a whole experience to slowly make your way through on the train or whatever.

But it seems to model just doesn't work, or at least the cash cow turned out to be virtual casinos/gacha.

Yahtzee Croshaw did a video discussing what went wrong with mobile gaming that I thought was pretty interesting:

Having a company there can make audits an easier situation - not so much paying for the actual technical assistance, but culpability
It certainly can work in VR - it just has to be done differently. Everything that's viewable in a scene should be interesting in some way. Something similar to Sleep No More[0] - it's some modernist Shakespeare's Macbeth but the cool part is it's in a giant multi-story venue where all the spectators walk around and watch parts of the play they want as they happen throughout the hotel. The environment is great and is a joy to just browse around. This is what VR needs to do. This is obviously very time consuming and expensive to create so much interesting content -and the storytelling has to be different than what we're used to

It was originally designed to emulate serials which had no end of (literal) cliffhanger stories. Temple of Doom didn’t rely on Nazi’s and is not told in sequential order with the other movies.
This is precisely the reason why narrative storytelling cannot work in VR…

This seems like a big claim. Is it possible that someone could come up with a way to make it work? I don’t know anything about this stuff but it seems to me that if the technology advances the storytellers will find a way to take advantage of the technology and create new ways of delivering their message.
I think ANSI C struct initialization is considerably more readable really. If there are enough members that it gets confusing then tab formatting the values along with a field name comment at the top works great. As for arrays, I don't see how designated initializers really offer anything interesting. Sparse array literals aren't really a pragmatically useful thing in my experience.

I'll allow of course that they don't "ruin the language" they just increase the cognitive burden of reading code.
The best answer I can give you is that if you guys get it fully implemented next year you'll be able to have the first screen load, and if you're lucky run a query to completion the year after that.

Not because you need to implement anything, or configuration reasons. That's just how long it takes to do basic things.
It has nothing to do with the amount of time Dang spends working. It's because the HN userbase is tiny compared to the social media giants.

There are many small forums that spread misinformation because they enjoy trolling. The moderators even encourage it. The DOJ and White House do not care about these forums because they collectively have less than 0.1% of Facebook's DAU.

One minor quality-of-life suggestion that I found with SUSE, is after you install things make a soft link from their "zypper" package manager utility to "zyp".

That way, you can just type "zyp ..." for stuff which is pretty easy, whereas "zypper" I always found to be more of a pain (for typing). "zypper" seems to attract typos, for me anyway. ;)

You could do the same thing with an alias too I guess... :)

No, then they're called a Gary Stu, Marty Stu, Marty Sam or Tom Sue and they exist too. They too are annoying and numerous, but less common.

Harry Potter, Scott Pilgrim, James Bond, any character Vin Diesel plays, etc.

Mary Sues are called out rightly because they're a shitty trope used by lazy writers. Nobody (with any intelligence or credibility) ever said that George Lucas was a particularly great writer. It's popcorn entertainment for a mass market.

Indiana Jones movies came out in a time where movie studios thought audiences were fucking morons and we have much higher standards today after being fed decades of high-concept movies and television. Hence the flat reception and pushback. Even Crystal Skull had its asshole ripped open by audiences without needing misogyny to be a diversion/excuse to explain the turd released by the studio.

Movies can't cash in by gender/age/race-swapping classic franchises because if you released those movies as they were today they would ALSO bomb. But Hollywood is certainly trying and trying and scratching its head wondering why it isn't working.
Yeah, how do you spell it?

Über, with an umlaut like the original German word? Or do you spell it Ueber, where the "ue" stands in for an umlaut in character sets which are incapable of reproducing the glyph?

Or do you spell it Uber like the American ride-sharing service, ignoring niceties of pronunciation and trading those for convenience by people who only speak English and don't know German phonology?
It seems everything about your current job is perfect except for the location. I’m perhaps far removed from what you are facing, but I’ve not ever met someone solely happy with a job based on where it is located. It seems you would be trading a job which is aligned with your interests for a job that only sort of works for you but offers a official location you like more.

I’ve moved a few times for different reasons. Some areas are definitely better than others. But for my two cents, there are always friends to be made where you are at and the key to happiness is often learning to be content with life vs trying to force life into some optical image you have. It doesn’t sound like the Bay Area job is truly aligned to you. Your seeking advice here seems to further indicate it. Again, just my two cents, but it sounds like you are in a good spot now and would be risking quite a lot leaving for a job that isn’t really what you want.
Sure it’s no issue with gigabit. But there are a TON of people in the US who might not be able to get a fast enough connection for high quality streaming.
The cross product does exists in any number or dimensions (at least 2). In n dimensions, the cross product of n-1 vectors is the determinant with the axis vectors as the first row and each of the n-1 vectors as the next rows. In 3 dimensions, n=3, so the first row is (i, j, k) and the next 2 rows are the two vectors.

Now this worried me. I love my tea — the milk tea without sugar. And I can’t drink it unless it’s simmering hot. Sometimes I reheat it if I forget about it and it became slightly cooler.

Is SF on a downturn? Absolutely. The biggest change for me has been the mission, specifically right around the BART stations, those couple blocks have gotten out of hand.

Is it going to recover? Can't guarantee it, but the city has faced worse. It may not recover for a few years or a decade, but it will be back eventually. In the meantime, is it still worth visiting and living in? I think so, weather is great, nature and setting is great, still lots of weird and interesting things to do. Crime is up, and it is unfortunate that you can't leave anything visible in your car most places in the city, but it was like that before the pandemic also.

I think your observation of the suburbs doing well is astute. For my peers (mid-30s couples with dual incomes), COVID wasn't a time to leave the bay area, just a time to leave the SF rental market for the SF suburbs and buy a house. So many of my coworkers and former coworkers bought houses in 2020 and 2021 while interest rates were low. Almost no one bought in SF proper but lots of people within a 30min BART ride of the city and still go into the city on weekends or work hybrid model on weekdays. FIDI and SOMA east of 4th are still fine, albeit quieter.

I am not sure about the history of detroit but SF single family housing real-estate is doing just fine, there doesn't seem to be an exodus of people selling their houses if they actually have a house in SF. If anything high interest rates are actually keeping people from leaving SF. Also, generally the neighborhoods where there are single family homes (which is (un)fortunately most of the city), are pretty vibrant still. Except for maybe the mission.

It seems like the biggest exodus from SF was the younger rental market, single people in their 20s. The crowds feel a bit older than they used to, but then again that could just be my circles.

So generally I am a long term believer in the City. But it will probably get worse before it gets better.
Then again I'd be wary of fighting Gene Labell (RIP), Patrick Devellerez or this old guy:

I was sincere in my comment. I don't wish punishment for anything, and I'm pretty much an atheist when it comes to God (so eternal punishment isn't waiting for anyone who doesn't "do the right thing"). I'm not projecting at all, and since you are a throwaway account, I'm pretty sure you aren't here to do much more than troll anyways. It just is what it is: some people care about the future, others just care about YOLO, just lots of self gratification I guess.

You might want to consider whether to have children though, they change the way you think about the future.

As a grad student, one of my more cynical professors said that to write a paper, you take a simple idea and then obfuscate it until it sounds complicated, and therefore seems impressive.
He also said the hardest part of reading papers is understanding the notation (thanks to that obfuscation).
Graffiti is one of the most exciting kinds of evidence preserved for us by the destruction of Pompeii, because it comes not from the literature of the elite, or the inscriptions of the powerful, but from a wider cross-section of society.

The article is mostly about slavery and prostitution, colored by modern views of the world. For much of human history, people were simply trying to survive and life expectancy was usually lower than today. A lot of privileged people had lives we would not really envy.

Articles like this usually make no effort to give that kind of context and implicitly compare their worst to our best or average and make it sound intentionally cruel to a greater degree than was probably the case most of the time.
Harrison probably had the complete data from the company ready to go for any purpose. Maybe it was released with a deadman's switch or by a friend after he got suicided.
I don't quite know what point this feature came to be, but in Java it's now compiler-correct for subclasses to declare their overrides as returning a more precise type than the superclass, as long as it doesn't disagree with the superclass.

The place I've bumped into this is the "self"/"builder" pattern of setter. So for example if you have the superclass method:

abstract public Shape setArea(Number area);

it's absolutely correct for other interfaces to override it with more precise definitions that they expect their members to obey:

@Override abstract public Quadrilateral setArea(Number area);

@Override public Square setArea(Number area) { this.area = area; return this; }

The downside here is that interfaces and classes have to override all such methods with their own implementation returning the proper type, even if it's just { super.setArea(area); return this } otherwise the superclass's looser definition will be used. For example if you don't override the area method then this doesn't work:

//compiler error: method setSides is unknown for class Shape

new Square().setArea(area).setSides(sides)

But if subclasses override all their methods, for example if Square overrides the setArea method with one returning Square, the above example works.

Obviously, again, only works if you know the instance you're being passed is a Quadrilateral or a Square, but if you don't know that you are reduced to casting based on some kind of list or handler.

Opt-in telemetry is garbage. I’m going to stop responding to comments that are

Enterprises want software that they can bend to conform to their entrenched, arcane business processes. But no two enterprises are alike. And meeting the needs of the lowest common denominator doesn't sell units.

So you risk falling into the trap of trying to do everything for everyone but doing nothing well.

You can only stuff so much shit into a cornucopia before it becomes more of a garbage bin.
> Creating ‘N’ threads and adding them all to a sorted wake list will be between O(N log N) and O(N^2), depending on the OS and/or language runtime.

This is not a fundamental limitation of scheduling systems, especially if you take into account the possibility of special hardware allowing for constant-time-with-respect-to-number-of-threads scheduling. For example, it is trivial, though economically infeasible for any practical purpose, to construct a scheduler that performs scheduling by bouncing infopackets via laser beams off of a gargantuan set of mirrors of varying distances back onto a detector connected to the computer, relying on the speed of light to perform a delay of the specified duration. This shows that sleep sort does not inherently rely on the hidden algorithmic complexity of whatever thread scheduling approach is used, since that can be optimized to O(1) in theory, if not in practice.

"Seems like a bad idea" seems like a bad way to make software engineering decisions. Define what you're losing / gaining, how it impacts readability, does it simplify future development, etc.
That’s how I got through calculus. I learned how to integrate/differentiate once, then programmed those operations into my TI-82 using whatever awful version of basic those things supported.

It looks like UIKit, the static analysis [1] shows numerous ViewControllers (eg IGSundialSingleVideoClipEditorViewController) with various UIKit lifecycle methods like viewDidLoad, rather than SwiftUI. There's also a surprising amount of Objective-C, in fact it looks like mostly Objective-C, at least all the IG-prefixed classes. Unusual for 2023.

> A chip provides every form of IP protection, all four forms, trade secret, copyright, patent, n even trademark. No other medium has that to my knowledge.

IANAL, but I do not believe semiconductor masks are copyrightable under US law (my limited understanding is that there is essentially due to the fact that the mask is inherently functional and/or aspects of the merger doctrine). There is a separate sui generis mask work protection via 17 U.S.C. §§ 901-914.

Edit: Moreover, I'm unsure how you figure a chip itself is protected by trade secret, since reverse engineering an IC is not terribly difficult.
Maybe not of commercial value.

But I took the time to get SLIME set up, with SBCL, and it seems like a completely different world. I’ve used languages with dynamic loading and REPLs before, and it seems like we still have something to learn from Lisp. Like, the experience is far from ideal—Lisp has its own problems. But it is just so damn nice to redefine a function in a running system, without having to then get the system back into the state that I need. I’ve used IDEs with dynamic code patching, and I’ve used Python systems that reload modules, but there have always been problems with the ergonomics.
Thats the problem of one instance. Not with Mastodon as a whole...
I don't know how calculators are used in classrooms today, but when I was going through school, the general idea was that we could use calculators to do tasks that we had already learned to do.

E.g., we could not use a calculator at all when learning arithmetic.

Once we learned arithmetic and were learning (say) algebra, we could use the calculator to do arithmetic, but not to compute the algebra for us.

While learning trigonometry, we could use the calculator for arithmetic, but not for computing sines and cosines.

While learning calculus, we could use the calculator for arithmetic and sines and cosines, but we could not use it to perform integration or differentiation for us.

And so on.
