I was always taught that one of the reasons for the Irish Potato Famine were that the English (feudal overlords at the time) forced the Irish to grow potatoes for export.

Not unusual; the British did the same with sheep in Australia to feed the British wool industry which caused ecological mayhem here too.

And you didn't ever need to look for what you needed when first using Word on 3.11?

There's a lot of implicit and forgotten learning going on because one has no expectation to already know where something is when it's one's first time doing something new. Lots of people use Word for the first time today. I'd be more inclined to agree and say that things are successfully "hidden" from you if a new person today takes more time than a new person then. Or a new person today given then's interface, if we don't already have then-data.

I have a diploma for Microsoft Office 2003/2007 and used Microsoft Office until ~2013, but nowadays find it 10x easier to, as you say, do more than marking text bold in LibreOffice Writer than in Microsoft Word 2007 because that's what I've been using this decade. It's a matter of getting used to and anyone saying they can't find anything in LibreOffice (one of the most common objections I hear) is kidding themselves and ignoring the prior learning from the huge discounts Microsoft gives schools and nonenforcement of copyright/licensing such that everyone is used to Word and Windows from the get-go. They'd rather pay, what is it today, 90 euros a year?, than find the bulleted list button again for their holiday checklist and occasional formal letter (that's what I see most people use it for at home) and get angry when I refuse to pirate the software for them.
I wouldn't say Reddit is user hostile.

Recent actions have been to make profitable companies pay for API access. That isn't hostile to users. It's hostile to parasite companies who make a profit from your product while taking away from your revenue.

There are a select group of users who decided to vandalise the site in response. They were allowed to do so for a small period of time. In fact, some hardcore groups are still vandlaising the site. People are constantly asking why it's happening. The fact they were allowed to vandalise the site seems the opposite of hostile to users.

But what is the general application of category theory, outside computer science.. and even there the average programmer who hasn't some type theory experience will stare at you with huge eyes when you mention it..

I love the wikipedia intro: Calculus is the mathematical study of continous change, the same way geometry is the study of shape and algebra... that's it perfectly. And the most basic application is in everyone's life and also one of the basic physics thing: The relationship between location, speed and acceleration. I find this very essential, vs category theory at least..
I think that's the most pretentious video I've ever seen.
Totally agree, given example is total nonsense.

Most issues with printf could be reported by static analysis, and modern compiler reports them as warnings, which in my book must be immediately converted to errors. All other weird usages should be either banned, or reviewed carefully, but they are very rare.

Also, std::iostream is ridden with bugs as well. Try to print out hex / dec in a consistent way is plain "impossible". Everytime you print an int, you should in fact systematically specify the padding, alignment and mode (hex/dec) otherwise you can't know for sure what you are outputting.
There can be consistency issue if you run multi-cluster BigTable, because multi-cluster replication is asynchronous.

If you have some salient details about millions of people being slaughtered by academia, then please post them!

Otherwise my point stands that your comparison is ridiculous, because religion has killed millions more people than academia, despite Jesus's teachings and the "Thou Shalt Not Kill" commandment.

Religion has diverged vastly and diabolically further from the teachings of Jesus than academia has from the scientific method. There's no comparison.

You're being extremely anti-intellectual while whitewashing and rationalizing the slaughter of millions of innocent people, misery, carnage, and chronic pestilence, if you think academia is anywhere near as bad a cult as Christianity.
The key takeaway for me here is that technical debt is not a problem per se. It becomes a problem when it starts hindering engineers. Thus, the only relevant way to measure technical debt is to poll your employees.
I thought the idea was interesting and I was curious how they'd make sure the images would not contain dicks / racism / memes or even attempt to re-create the original image in any way.

A voting system? Maybe with a voter reliability score? AI?

Turns out they just didn't, and the result is exactly what you'd expect.
A wasted opportunity for grievance peddlers and hand wringers to steal more limelight and derail public discourse from more important things, so they can hear themselves speak and act like they're bravely engaging battle at great risk to themselves for the benefit of all others, by stamping their names on pointless political and bureaucratic machinations that achieve exactly nothing for the common person.
What exactly are they selling if there's no game inside?
You're making an argument about competence: our leaders can't grasp how to make a government effective for their values.

They're making one about those values. The goals of a king do not include the benefit of the people. This is an economic-political system that depends on the deep, permanent, and inescapable immiseration of nearly the entire population to maintain security for an incredibly tiny minority of military aristocrats.

It is the tribal warlordism that came before.
I understood that it was just an example and it is a good choice for an introductory text. My question is more into advice how to go on from that. For example, is SBERT a good choice if most of my queries are in fact multi-sentence paragraphs?

I guess what still doesn't add up in my mental model is how people seem to assume that the query embedding vector must somehow automatically be near good answer embedding vectors. I would have assumed that some conditions have to be met to make this true and I would be interested into advice in that regard, or alternatively an explanation why I'm wrong with my assumption.
Not sure if the comment was addressed specifically to mine. If it was: I am OK with companies trying to make money, that's what they are for. It was more about how they phrase things. If you are a company that truly has open source as a driver, then make whatever claims you wish, however if your company's main driver is revenue (as SUSE likely is) don't make business announcements with "WE LOVE OPEN SOURCE" as your main rationale, just say "there's an opportunity for our business to grow" or any other corporate wording.
All of these will likely be solved by manually flicking through and re-adding bad frames to the drawing queue.
Of course Reddit is user hostile.

- Can't use web version without getting the mobile version banner forced down your throat every other interaction.

- Actively making the non-app version worse than the mobile, for no reason other than engagement metrics.

- Not able to view "NSFW" posts (of which everything is just false labeled as that) without logging in; even though it shows you the image on the timeline (the entire "NSFW" part) - a dark pattern / cheap tactic to drive sign up.

And this is just to name a few, dark patterns are a plenty across their site.

I won't go into the API side of things as others have said it better, and it seems you've already made your mind up there.

> If you need a laptop anyway what’s the point of getting an another machine which is just marginally faster? That wasn’t really the case 10-20 years ago when laptops weren’t really an option as a primary machine for demanding use cases.

Laptops, even those marketed as "mobile workstations", really can't compete with a proper desktop-experience - yes, a docking-station goes a long way with replicating connectivity options, but (in my life, at least) there's far too many qualiatative and quantiatative benefits to having a "proper" desktop for dev.

----

A major point for me is that I treat my laptops and portables as though they could/will go missing the next day - which means I'm careful to avoid putting irreplacable data on my laptop (and have Bitlocker enabled, which does noticably impact disk IO, even today) - whereas my desktop is a different, and a more trusted, environment. I'm not going to compromise my daily computing experience by using a throwaway-ish environment.
The problem with hardware solution, is lack of flexibility. LLM is not (yet) as established technology to warrant fixed in-silico solutions, compared to say GPUs.
This makes the same mistake being called out in the comment you're replying to. The point isn't about the mechanics of solving a differential equation, it's about gathering the intuition about a way of approaching problems.

(Also, while it might not be the tools needed for the average homeowner, there are plenty of optimisation problems similar to "how much fence do I need" which are most easily solved by solving the Euler-Lagrange equations)
> I adjusted from two spaces to one back in 1999 or so, when I read this book, and the adjustment wasn't as painful as I thought it'd be.

Did you switch from two spaces to one space while writing in a text editor using monospace font too?
Yep exactly this. VSCode lets you set a "Title Bar Style" setting to "native", but that was a seriously hard find.

It would blend into Teams, where only a hideous "high contrast" mode would render borders. The list keeps going on and on.

I've used a registry "hack" (manually added a setting) to set the colour of inactive windows, this does improve things a bit when it works. I prefer eg a dark grey as inactive, and eg orange for active window.

If anyone's interested, I made an open-source reddit reader with Svelte a while back that uses a similar technique:

It's nothing fancy, I just wanted to make something with Svelte (it's got some pretty rough edges, and it's unfinished in some parts).
No, it is side effect while the goal is modeling which can be applied in your whole life, not just job.
I have to say, that is not a great example. Your earlier point still holds good that there is enough redundancy in English to distinguish these things.

Here "Isit?" means "Is it?" and that is obvious from the context.

Ah, your previous short quip made you look like you were agreeing not only with the part where they keep "crims and fascists" online, but also the part where they kick sex workers out — assuming they actually do, but since you neither denounced, denied, or even questioned it, it looked like you agreed with both the facts and morals of it.

You’d understand that this didn’t exactly makes you look like a neutral free speech defender.

> the hegemony of the radical left.

It’s hardly radical if it doesn’t question capitalism, and last time I checked anti-capitalism was far from hegemonic. I’m not sure what you actually mean by "radical left", but I’m guessing they tend to think more about systems than individuals, which may be alien enough to look radical from the other side.

> I don't think fascists or nazis or the KKK or whatever other boogeyman you can come up with make a very good case for their beliefs and they pose no real danger.

They don’t have to make a good case unfortunately. Like abusive cults, they can instead enrol vulnerable or disenfranchised people, ease them in, and eventually cut them off their previous entourage, to the point where you can no longer reason with them.

That, and the pipeline of influencers that makes the next small step down the far right path look quite okay, with no clear limit between a couple harmless edgy jokes and full blown literal Nazism (The Boys illustrates that radicalisation process fairly well).
Murdering your heir is probably a case of 'who moves first'. Kings dying because someone was tired of waiting is a recurring theme in history. Other candidates are leaders of the military and extended family.

The idea is, operator overloading is a convenience feature. Why not have that convenience as an option in an editor, without influencing the language? If you want scalar multiplication to look the same as vector multiplication, set it in your editor. If you want to insert scalar multiplication with the same key you insert vector multiplication, set it in the editor (to figure out which you mean, based on context, when you press that key).

Just to be clear, I'm not being a smartass, just considering this as an option and wondering if the HN crowd has some thoughts on this.

I'm not sure that's a testable hypothesis. Yes, having (way) fewer people would prevent most climate change, pollution, etc issues.

However the trend is always that humans proliferate until a point where it's not possible to feed them.

The plague didn't stop human overpopulation. Even the worst king doesn't stand a chance.

Exception might be complete destruction through nuclear war. But that wasn't available to Richard III.

I think this kind of factoid can get Americans really riled up, because of how we view real estate as an investment, and how by the 19th Century, we were breaking away from that model of "landed gentry" who get all the perks and governance (see "House of Lords", don't you know.)

Of course, for all our rugged individualism, we're now finding out that homeownership isn't all it's cracked up to be. I, for one, am really happy renting my apartment, because a lot of maintenance and landscaping is done for me, and the amenities that come along with it are simply included in the cost, whether I use them or not. Owners tell me I'm throwing my money away, but it's a matter of perspective, I think.

I think that I learned a lot while viewing "Downton Abbey" and I suppose it's a somewhat faithful perspective on how a large manor house operates. I mean, it's amazing how this one family owns all the land, like a town in itself, with all the help downstairs, plus tenants who work the land; it's a whole economic system in itself. And I can see the benefit in having one owner who does the management, and lets the servants, employees, and tenants worry about things other than the land itself. I think that has benefits.

Now I don't profess to know much about how the feudal systems worked, hundreds of years ago, but I suppose that progress means we don't have fiefdoms anymore (good?) and we don't have oaths of fealty anymore (or do we?) and even though people call me "Sir Knight", I don't ride a horse and I don't rescue damsels in distress or go on crusades.

Perhaps I could purchase an inch of land in Scotland and become a Lord!

> is it the alternative to Debian and Archlinux?

Is it the alternative?

For desktop or server?

NixOS will continue to be niche and continue to be an alternative.

For desktop, NixOS will continue to be a niche, like Arch and Gentoo, because of the learning curve. But if you're already running Arch Linux, NixOS is a step in a direction you do want to consider, but may not want to afford with your time.

For server, NixOS will also continue to be a niche. Using it both attracts talent and limits the talent pool, because lots of very capable DevOps and sysadmins just never got around to NixOS, even if they are veterans in both the classic and the cloud world. It's like making a startup with Haskell.

Also, I've been holding back on switching to NixOS, but I'm finally dedicating my next free weekend to install it on my laptop. I would love to be able to reproduce my exact working environment on new machines more easily. I'm not switching from Debian / Alpine on server any time soon.
rcme is right though, DANE and MTA-STS are still opportunistic, the sending party must support DANE/MTA-STS to use it. And even still, with both DANE and MTA-STS, you are merely "asking nicely" to use TLS, the sender may still ignore it and use plain text delivery anyway.

The reality is that email is not, and never will be a secure communication channel.
