First, understand that not everyone is like you. Many people are vastly different, and have attitudes and things they care about that do not match your preferences.

Some people seem to be totally fine with the idea of a platform that sells data about them to third parties, and tries to track them all over the internet. Because they believe they get value out of the platform, but are unable or unwilling to pay for it with their own money.

I'm not like these people, but I understand that they exist, and more or less understand why they want what they want.
This tells me more about the impacts of anxiety writ large than it highlights the problem of “language policing.”
Canonical sells access to the snap store. It's part of their Ubuntu IoT strategy.

Uploading public applications is free. Uploading proprietary software is a business model.

It also pretty much locks Ubuntu users in, because no other project uses snaps, so if an app chooses snap for their distribution method (certbot, for example) it suddenly becomes a lot easier to just download Ubuntu than it is to install Snap for a foreign platform.
The first gen went up to 16GB, so anyone buying 8GB was just price-chasing.

I think the tone being kind of sassy and put apon over a small inconvenience shifts the focus from the more constructive parts of the message and in that sense I agree with the person you are responding to - the etiquette evangelists might be more effective if they did less spleen venting.
You're making the same mistake as the author. What matters is how many people a lane can move in a given amount of time, not how large each burst of people is.

We stop at 20 cars in 10 minutes because that's the equivalent of the bus. If the bus ran twice as often (i.e. 5 minute headways), we'd have 40 cars in 10 minutes, but that's only one car every 15 seconds which is far from a congested state, especially with no traffic signals (like a rail/guideway based PRT or a hypothetical future self-driving system where cars coordinate with each other).

PRT is essentially just a bus system with a large number of small buses and a large number of routes as opposed to a traditional bus system with a small number of large buses and a small number of routes.
Yes exactly. I'm agreeing that this is the right alternative and will get a response from me much faster than the empty "Hi". "Hi" <brief description of why I'm reaching out> is always superior.
Nice! There's a part two in which I rewrote the C. I got a 12x speedup :)

And as others have pointed out, you can tweak the input, then vectorize the algo, if you want to go that route.

I considered this a pedagogical exercise and I sincerely hope nobody will start dropping down to assembly without a very good reason to.
None of these are counterarguments

> Maybe they want to make sure you're there

There's not even an a real scenario here

> maybe their issue is dependent on the time

"Hi, I have a time sensitive question about X, are you available to help for a minute?"

honestly that's much more likely to get a response from me than "hi" anyway, because I know it's urgent, assuming you're not someone who abuses the idea of urgent.

> maybe they want to send/receive a TOTP

"Hey, I need a TOTP real fast, are you around?"

And my response would be "no, I'm not sharing my TOTP with you" but alas

> maybe the whole point of the conversation is to check whether the medium is functional

"Hey, having trouble with Slack today, are you seeing this?"

Again, I'd be much more likely to respond than just "hi" that might turn into a real time suck for me

> maybe they want to send you something sensitive

"Hey, are you screen sharing? want to send you some budget numbers"

None of these are improved by just saying "hi"
Thank you this is an amazingly comprehensive answer! Now I wonder what would be the workflow for using these compiler features. Like if I am a normal or bad C programmer and I write my program and use valgrind to check that it doesn't have obvious problems and I compile it with -march native or whatever, then I can add some step to the workflow to somehow re-compile it in a way that uses the branching or access patterns of some examples that I let it process for that purpose?
Agreed. I'm pretty cynical about academia but I don't see graduate student unions fixing the problems.

I voted against a graduate student union at my institution ca. 7 years ago after a couple very frustrating conversations with organizers (both students and professionals from the SEIU) where they were doing the equivalent of promising everyone a free pony (scholarships for international students, lower tuition, etc.--things that aren't included in the mandatory bargaining subjects for a union). It was deeply manipulative and dishonest.
I'll add that your use of "slur" is quite melodramatic in this context as the dictionary defines the word in question as "somewhat old fashioned".
A lot of bots there. Not worth my time to compete attention with bots. I'll wait at least 6mths before for this to settle with more real humans. Meta is infamous for botty and buggy products when creating their own. I'm worth more than being their FB users or testing guinea pigs.
> This article also fails to discuss the C02 emission cost that goes into producing the battery, which for an EV will probably never be recouped. At least for the lifetime of that vehicle.

This is debunked:

FACT: The greenhouse gas emissions associated with an electric vehicle over its lifetime are typically lower than those from an average gasoline-powered vehicle, even when accounting for manufacturing.

I can't find the exact studies anymore, but it's indirectly referenced by current regulations: https://www.regulations.gov/document/NHTSA-2011-0148-0075

> As required by the PSEA, (1) this rule proposes to establish FMVSS No.141, Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles, which would require [quiet vehicles] to produce sounds meeting the requirements of this standard. This proposed standard applies to EVs and to those HVs that are capable of propulsion in any forward or reverse gear without the vehicle's ICE operating. The PSEA requires NHTSA to establish performance requirements for an alert sound that is recognizable as motor vehicle in operation that allows blind and other pedestrians to reasonably detect a nearby EV or HV operating below the crossover speed. The crossover speed is the speed at which tire noise, wind noise, and other factors eliminate the need for a separate alert sound.

>[...]

> This standard will ensure that blind, visually-impaired, and other pedestrians are able to detect and recognize nearby hybrid and electric vehicles by requiring that hybrid and electric vehicles emit sound that pedestrians will be able to hear in a range of ambient environments and contain acoustic signal content that pedestrians will recognize as being emitted from a vehicle. The proposed standard establishes minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles when operating under 30 kilometers per hour (km/h) (18 mph), when the vehicle's starting system is activated but the vehicle is stationary, and when the vehicle is operating in reverse.

The EU has established a similar rule as well, though I think they only require up to 12mph. Wikipedia says there's a 2008 study that confirms it but it's source link is broken:

> A separate 2008 study from Western Michigan University found that hybrids and conventional vehicles are equally safe when travelling more than about 20 miles per hour (32 km/h), because tire and wind noise generate most of the audible cues at those speeds. Hybrid cars were also tested safe when moving off at traffic lights and it was found that under this condition they do not pose a risk to pedestrians. All Prius models used in the study engaged their internal combustion engines when accelerating from a standstill and produced enough noise to be detected.[13]

Cracking double-blind review: Authorship attribution with deep learning
Well, it protects some. It makes the Biden administration somewhat less likely to ask, because there's a public rebuke from the courts, and if they keep doing it anyway, they are likely to lose any further court cases around it. So they have some deterrent - not perfect, but more than zero.

From the company's side, they have some indication that they are likely to be backed by the courts if it comes to that, so they have some more confidence in telling the administration to get lost - not perfect, but more than none. (They're not going to be less willing to say no after this court ruling.)

So, yes, the Biden administration could keep going. But that's unlikely to play well, either in the courts or in the press. The Biden administration is not a dictatorial regime; they face an election in 14 months. That gives them more incentive to "control the narrative", true, but it also gives them incentive to not be visibly seen as bullying the social media.
Ignore the emoji for second. The lawsuit would not be any different (save for a less funny headline) if the farmer had responded "okay" or "affirmative" or "alright". The farmer's arguing he responded to the request to read the contract, the flax seller is arguing they were responding to the contract itself. Nobody involved is asserting that that the emoji itself was ambiguous, merely what it was in response to.

Saying “hi” back implies that I have time to listen to you right now. Maybe I don’t, or maybe I’d like to wait to decide until I know what you want.

And it’s not always “hi” anyway. I used to have one of our C-levels DM me on Slack almost daily with some form of “hellllp!” No context whatsoever. Eventually I figured out they had a list of people they thought were helpful and would just spam that list for any kind of thing they needed. I stopped responding and got myself off their list. Problem solved haha.

Thank you, awesome answer! HN comunity is awesome.

Thanks also to every other answer I received for my question, I appreciated all of them.
This is all better accomplished by explicitly saying all of that:

"Hey, you around? I need a help with a $time-sensitive-thing" or "Hey, ping me when you're around, I need a 2FA code for $XYZ", instead of just "hello".

I have vouched for this article because it blew my mind.

I had no idea that there are left-leaning, feminist-identifying women who held such views.

I wish this article laid out a more substantive foundation for why the author holds their views. I tried to look into the book she mentioned, and I do worry that there's a bit of a echo-chamber effect going on here, because somehow the book was featured by Tucker Carlson? [1]

But it seems that there's a lot of passion here about protecting women-only spaces. I can respect that.

>Where do we go from here?

Take a step back, and look at history. It should be unsurprising that the problem was encountered, studied[0] and solved, decades ago.

During the Viet Nam conflict, the Air Force needed to plan missions with multiple levels of classified data. This couldn't be done with the systems of that era. This resulted in research and development of multi-level security, the Bell-LaPadula model[2], and capability based security[1].

Conceptually, it's elegant, and requires almost no changes in user behavior while solving entire classes of problems with minimal code changes. It's a matter of changing the default from all access to no access, all the way down to the kernel.

Life without it, is like trying to run a modern electrical grid without any circuit breakers, anywhere, ever.

Getting rid of virus scanners alone should be worth the platform switching costs, at least in terms of performance for most users.

Only the Air and 13” Pro (which is a glorified Air with a fan) cap at 24 GBs. The 14 and 16” Pro models cap at 96 GB. The 13 inch is a bit of a lame duck product that is likely to be phased out at some point or otherwise be replaced, so while the headline is factually true it is not really indicative of the situation.

I will also say, Apple devices across the board are significantly better at memory management than both Android and Windows. Where on a Windows machine I feel I need 32 GBs, 16 GBs feels adequate on MacOS. And my understanding is the situation is similar between iOS and Android.
The marketing of "no hello" (nohello.net) is contrary to what those examples say. So maybe there is a better way to market it instead of "no hello". Like maybe "just ask the question", or "start with a query", or "Don't just hello".
Yes, Clang supports FDO, but it might be hard to set up (I've never set up FDO myself). You could check out https://github.com/google/autofdo and https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#profile-guided-....

Hey Rick, it took a lot of time and a lot of emails to people researching the topic. But the key was the doctor's constantly diagnosing me and then diagnosing me with Lupus. Finding the link with Lupus and PNP SNPs was the key. The Lupus diagnosis was always back and forth because apparently PNP deficiency lowers immunoglobulin levels as well and that is the test that gets you in the door to the rheum only when it is high.

Many other phenol's and polyphenols seem to give me issues as well.

> communicate in an unnatural way

Neurodivergent individuals are expected every day to communicate in unnatural ways (to them). Everybody is different and everybody will communicate differently. People who have something to get done have their own responsibility to make sure their question or concern is addressed and saying "hi" with nothing else isn't doing them any favors.

I appreciate that you voiced this opinion and especially that you're willing to back it up. If it helps, there are some who are at least kind enough not to pedantically reply with a link to this website. I might sometimes even choose to respond back with a "What's up?" but I don't make a habit of it as a rule.
It doesn’t bear repeating because it isn’t at all true. Unpopular speech does need to be protected but even popular speech can be suppressed by governments and often has been when the government has reason to disagree with it.
My startup idea is cybersecurity software that does literally nothing. My competitive advantage would be speed, ease of use, low attack surface area, and perfect false positive rate.
> Use celery immediately if you have any "long lived" tasks such as email

Hey, quick question from a relative newbie who is currently trying to solve this exact problem.

Besides Celery, what are good options for handling long-running requests with Django?

I see 3 options:

- Use Celery or django Q to offload processing to worker nodes (how do you deliver results from the worker node back to the FE client?)

- Use a library called django channels that I think supports all sorts of non-trivial use cases (jobs, websockets, long polling).

- Convert sync Django to use ASGI and async views and run it using uvicorn. This option is super convoluted based on this talk [0], because you have to ensure all middleware supports ASGI, and because the ORM is sync-only, so seems like very easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

The added complication, like I mentioned, is that my long-running requests need to return data back to the client in the browser. Not sure how to make it happen yet -- using a websocket connection, or long polling?

Sorry I am ambushing you randomly in the comments like this, but it sounds like you know Django well so maybe you have some insights.

> “make everything verbose, even when it’s already unambiguous”

The idea is to make the language less context-sensitive and more consistent. It's better if the meaning of `<p>` and `<p/>` don't change based on the parent tag. Now, obviously they failed at making the semantic changes necessary to achieve the goal, but a true XML-based language would've been far simpler both for humans and computers than what we've got now. Most of the author's points are entirely valid, but the conclusion really should've been "HTML is bad."
What logic did you use to come up with that statement?

Tools like Nessus and Burpsuite Pro cost around 6-8k/year.

Good luck hiring a security engineering department on a 8k/year budget that will build and maintain you tools of similar quality lol.
None of that is how communication works. It requires (basically equal) effort on the part of the sender and the receiver. Gatekeeping communication styles is just a symptom of not having control in other areas.
One Size Fits All: Linked Ring Instead of a Ring Buffer
With linkages and linked lists, it enables multiple producers to seamlessly share a single buffer ring, optimizing memory usage and computational efficiency while simplifying data handling.
The memcpy doesn't use a vlmax, it uses a hand-chosen vl. The load won't fault on any elements not loaded (here, elements past the vl), so the memcpy is fine as it only loads items it'll definitely need, whereas your original code can read elements past the null byte.

And yeah, aligning the pointer manually would work (though then it wouldn't be portable code, as the spec does allow for rvv implementations with VLEN of up to 65536 (8KB per register; 64KB with LMUL=8), which'll be larger than the regular 4KB pages).

Honestly as long as they second message comes promptly after the first this doesn't bother me at all. It's when the "Hey" is just left out there by itself that annoys me.
