Neat, I suppose, but... In nearly 40 years as a professional programmer, the problem has never been the syntax. It's always the semantics. (I mean, yes, if you're doing something like matrix multiplication it's nicer to be able to say A = B + C * D; rather than having to explicitly spell out which functions you're calling. I have never actually hit that situation, though.)

Do I just lack imagination?

Is this domain-specific, and I've just never been in the domain where it was useful?

Is Forth so crippled in syntax that you need to be able to extend it to make it something more useful?

Do people just want to be able to customize their language, the way some people do their cars?

Why do people really care about this?

People in the past were underfed with all kinds of nutritional deficiencies. We can even today observe what a lack of some vitamins does to people in poor countries, e.g. schizophrenia from the lack of B3 or beri-beri from the lack of B1, scurvy from the lack of C etc. It's quite possible there was some sort of deficiency leading to neural damage manifesting itself as "dancing".

The SEC agreed to review, but as far as I understand this has no bearing on whether they'll approve (or not). I'm not sure why this is news; I thought this is part of the SEC's standard review process?
That's not the point. I too have managed kubeadm clusters mostly without issues. The tool is solid.
I'm guessing, with the right objective tests, one could show exponential decline in the answers the more guardrails they clamp in place.

Having played with StableDiffision, you can see declines in output using negative prompts, particularly ones using negative inversions.

Basically, those guardrails will cut down the realm of valid answers.

Think of all the text on the internet that has typos but otherwise are perfectly valid data. You clamp down on the correct spelling and maybe 30% of vector space is just Missing.
This is cool. However, for $1000 (including add-on jack and registration, no insurance required) I just bought a 5x8 trailer that can hold more weight. I tow it with my RAV4 Hybrid that gets ~40MPG.

Releasing the information 4 days later implies it took 4 days to properly process and categorize. It probably did take some time to properly process and categorize it, because anomalous sounds happen underwater all the time, and unless it's a subsea nuclear detonation or a Russian propeller screw then it's going to go into the "figure it out later" bucket.

So what we know is it took no more then 4 days to categorize it. We don't know whether or not the system flagged it immediately, or flagged it as part of background process, or how long that took.

Joe Internet-Commentator looks at that and says "oh it was totally instant, probably".

Bill Submarine-Commander for a Hostile Power on the other hand is very interested in exactly how quick any particular detection was, to what resolution, and what implied noise-cutoffs of the network. What sort of sonic events are handled in real time vs. handled in later analysis. Because for Bill the question is "how long before I'm detected and surface ships start dropping buoys, depth charges and torpedos to kill me".
How in gods name is this a controversial take? Good lord.

The losers are the customers and employees of the company. When we talk about company efficiency, we generally mean ROI. But an inefficient company may be inefficient because it's providing surplus value to either its employees or its customers. When such a company is bought by PE and sold for parts, customers/employers are forced to deal with more "efficient" companies that are better at "capturing value".

If you zoom out a bit stuff like this is, I think, why modern products tend towards increasing monetization, selling of data, rental instead of ownership, etc. You either treat your customer like garbage, or you get bought by PE and replaced by someone who does.

Within male culture, what women think of us is relevant only within a romantic context. Male culture can only be created by men.

What governments think of men matters, and women participate in government. But when governments fall, its men who topple them. Only men. Sometimes the girlfriends help.

As a man, I am not wringing my hands. I have marshaled power and I’m using it to support and protect my family. My psychology is just fine. But if you disagree, good luck with that. Maybe go to war over it? First you will need to recruit some men to help you.

The greatest problem that faces humanity is angry men. Because angry men disrupt every hopeful project. Nobody is worried about angry women. Anyway, you can’t solve that with snarkiness or contempt or women writing emasculating op-eds. That problem can only be solved by offering respect, whether or not you think it is deserved.

Bottom line: men will sort it out amongst themselves. Part of that process may result in the extinction of a substantial portion of humanity.

Indirectly! Yes. That's the point.

We don't ask about who will pay for the new police helicopter or military jet or who will pay for a bank bailout or corporate subsidy.

But if it's in the public interest everyone puts on their reading glasses and pulls out their calculator and red pens.

This is a function of priorities and we need to make sure they're being intentionally set and then the money will flow accordingly.

This should be in the same priority class as food inspection, water sanitation and road repair. That's how important honest well funded news is to a functional democracy. We don't say, complain that the city fixing potholes interferes with the market of private road repair companies.

I guess I'm feeling a little dumb and outlying on my immediate theory to the delay between USN officially reporting hearing the implosion, but here it is anyway: It would make sense to me that in the vast world of US Intelligence, especially when combined with signals-intelligence (like listening on what channels in Russia or China are communicating internally to each other), that when you have an event like Titan imploding, relatively close to US waters, you would want to not show those cards, and listen to hear if anyone else reports hearing anything ..

There's a balance.

Political discourse too often talks about "capitalism", "socialism", or "communism", and half the people using those words don't know the difference, only that capitalism is the good American one. I'd like it if we instead focused on more understandable clichés, like "consumer choice is good", "market competition is good", etc. When considering a new regulation it's hard to discuss whether it's socialist or not; it's easier to discuss whether it will increase consumer choice, or make entering and competing in markets easier for new companies.

We get one group talking about capitalism and what they like about it is consumer choice and free market competition between several companies. The next group likes capitalism because of wealth concentration and their ability to warp society with their money. Both groups talk and agree capitalism is great, without realizing they have very different things in mind.

For what is worth, last time I encountered compatibility problems wrt Linux on a laptop has been when I was using RedHat 6 or 7 on the cheapest+crappiest Asus laptop I could purchase at that time, and had to recompile kernel and gfx drivers at every update. That happened like 22 years ago, and was 100% the laptop's fault, not Linux, which also worked flawlessly on every laptop I installed later on.

Software, just like so many others on HN. The trailer is an RV we take out every couple weeks during the nice weather season. It takes over 1300 pounds of payload capacity just for the trailer itself, which doesn't leave much for anything else (hitch, cargo, humans, canine). That's how I ended up trading the F150 we had for an F250. And yes, the F250 is pretty big. It's actually not a lot bigger dimensionally than an F150 (same cab, even), but it's usually taller, and it has a very stiff suspension and a live axle in the front, so it feels a lot bigger. Thus why mine rarely goes anywhere it doesn't need to go. My Model 3 is far more comfortable as a daily.

I would do something like this:

List most recent full time position

List second full time position

List freelance/self-employed as a position, and maybe highlight your best accomplishments doing that, and more broadly the general skills of self-management etc, but I wouldn’t rattle off each position.

List educational achievements like just your degree and major.

And then, in terms of your side projects, maybe just highlight the ones that are most relevant to whatever job you’re applying for?

I tailor my own resume to each job I apply for, which means, sometimes I don’t include all my work experience, or all my educational experience. When I used to list all my qualifications, I often got feedback “you’re too overqualified” - so I stick to what is relevant to the role.
I highly recommend reading up on it if that particular aspect resonates with you. Driven to Distraction is a very useful and informative read with a decent amount of technical information as well as personal accounts to help relate how the condition manifests.

They legitimately are scary from an objective viewpoint. I love driving them, but they kill people for no reason and something needs to done at a systemic level to curb it. Modern vehicles have an array of cameras, sensors, and automatic braking, yet pedestrian deaths per vehicle-mile are higher than 30 years ago.

> linguistic aesthetics

not sure that's a thing.

> Capitalism is not a centralized ideology

You are confusing capitalism and consumerism. My post refers to consumerism, which emerged in the 20th century; capitalism predates consumerism, while consumerism slightly predates neoliberal reforms. Indeed, Chinese culture is an example of non-democratic consumerism, proving the separation between concepts.

The history of consumerism and how Western countries have intertwined it with societal control can be traced back to Freud, Bernays, Lippmann and Dichter. Freud's premise was that there are primitive urges in the human mind which invariably threaten the stability of society. Bernays invented the techniques of public relations in order to manipulate those urges effectively, render people docile and manufacture their consent; they are today the bedrock of advertising. Lippmann argued that average citizens are inherently irrational in their democratic choices, which makes it necessary for an elite class to steer their opinion. Dichter tied it all together by promising that embracing sex and consumer hedonism will create a stable society and he furthered Bernays' work in psychoanalytic marketing.

These are all facts and an academically accepted narrative. Perhaps it sounds like a conspiracy theory because you haven't looked at it before. Consumerism was deliberately engineered in the 20th century in order to achieve socio-economic stability, without devolving into either nazism or communism.

Just some random examples: Nestle's reliance on child trafficking and slavery for the production of cocoa; epidemic of worker suicide at the factories where Apple's products are being manufactured; quinoa becoming unaffordable and threatening the food security of indigenous communities who traditionally relied on it.
> The most popular of the next-gen GPU APIs are Vulkan by the Khronos Group, Metal by Apple and DirectX 12 by Microsoft. ... (WebGPU) introduces its own abstractions and doesn’t directly mirror any of these native APIs.

Huh. I was wondering about that.

Until now I just figured every "Web*" thing was browsers exposing (to JS alone) something that they already compiled in:

- WebRTC is ffmpeg

- Canvas is Skia

- WebGL is ANGLE

- WebCodecs is also ffmpeg

- WebTransport is QUIC

- WebSockets are TCP

I might be wrong on some of those.

Headless cms + static site generator.

All the pros of a tiny, static website and all the pros of a cms system and dynamic content.

Scale to millions of visitors for a couple of dollars.
Firstly, the US has a bunch of existing laws to deal with monopolies already. Use them.

And if China Air suddenly folds then the US nationalizes their fleet or some similar intervention. Similar has been done during crises in the banking sector, and similar has been done in other countries when an airline went bust.

Dilating GitHub Actions Using Dialyzer
Although these registers are normally not accessible by the programmer, some undocumented instructions provide access to these registers, as will be described later.

Also, I'm not sure if you've explored 8f/1-7 yet, since it's not mentioned in the article, but I suspect it's just the same as pop r/m16 (8f/0) as it ignores the subopcode bits completely. It's very weird that the push and pop are in completely different places in the opcode map.
> When PE loads up a firm with supposedly unsustainable billions of debt, someone is on the other side of that transaction, lending the billions. Who does that and why? Are they perpetual suckers, unaware of the decades of experience we have doing this?

In at least some of the cases, the answer is absolute corruption with PE paying the other party “on the side” to sign off on a deal only a sucker would agree to.

See for example this piece of investigative journalism into Medical Properties Trust and just how many red flags and obvious bribes were involved (not to mention potential murder to cover up their misdeeds!!): https://prospect.org/health/2023-05-23-quackonomics-medical-...
> that uses the existing cash flow of the business to fund the loan repayments, but the business itself cannot get a loan to invest in new capital / buy the CEO a yacht etc

Loan repayment to banks and other financial institutions is the first and highest priority. During this process the company is constantly turned more efficient and profitable. If it adds value, jobs and capital in form of machines etc. is added, therefore PE firms do not only reduce employment. The goal is also to sell irrelevant jets / yachts and eliminate other expensive non-business related expenses from which often a few benefit. The goal is not to buy new yachts. In fact a PE firm is committed by contract and by incentives through own investments, to not use the company to fund lavish lifestyles. After on average 5 years the company is sold for a multiple.

> But where is the middle market where a PE firm makes an offer and the next day the business itself puts up a prospectus and is able to find enough semi-liquid capital to take the self same bet?
Why is it so hard to raise funds?

I think I don't really get your point here. There is no infrastructure which provides businesses this option, because it does not make sense. Private businesses are often sold through investment banks, and if the desire to sell comes from the owner, then there is often a form of auction involved. Companies with a solid business are getting a very good price this way. But raising funds for an existing business and selling a business are two completely different things. You don't accept a PE firms invitation to a call, and then turn the other way to get funding and keep ownership.

The site does include a call to action. I think that’s the point where one needs to question things. I certainly don’t want to be the one that writes my Congressperson about this “hoax”. The next time I need something truly important, I’m likely to fall to the bottom of the pile.
> Surely there would be people like me who could resist the dancing plague.

Intelligent humans are in some ways the dumbest humans. You assume that your consciousness/will is the only "code" executing inside your skull.

It isn't. You're just unaware of the rest. What is it doing, and how much influence or control does it have on your overt behavior? Well, wouldn't you like to know.

The biggest part of the illusion that "you" are in control, is your capacity to re-interpret your behaviors after the fact. Someone asks you, "hey, why'd you A?" and your brain panics at the idea of blurting out "I honestly don't know". There has to be an answer. You're not exactly lying when you come up with that answer, it's more like your best guess. I think in some ways, all those teachers and other authority figures that punished you extra if you said "I dunno" when they asked why'd you break the rules have something to do with this too.

Finally, if you could be the one person immune to so-called dancing plagues... would you really want to be the inhuman freak who didn't?
