> Well, I also do similar kind of judgement. I.e. if someone is seriously religious, flat earth believing or ghost worshiping etc, then I would just assume they... have many things to left learn.

Yeah that's all dandy until they refuse to learn things because it's against doctrine, start restricting your bodily autonomy and freedoms and ultimately make learning things that disprove their illusions punishable.
I guess they were being too cheap with the offers made to the prospective developers. European business people tend to assume that you can hire any kind of software developer for 3000 euros / month.

The history of web3 shows that, if the money is right, competent people will put all their qualms aside and do the work to enable the blockchain rip-offs.

OneCoin should have offered 10 million to the developer because they could have afforded it. Then they wouldn’t be hunted by FBI, and $ONE would be just another forgotten altcoin that gets occasionally pumped up on Telegram channels.

This seems... unlikely, though. There does seem to be some "crank magnetism" effect (people who believe in one form of nonsense tend to adopt others), but it's heavily tilted towards _conspiracy-based_ nonsense. So people who sincerely believe the earth is flat and there is a grand conspiracy to conceal that are probably good fodder for qanon and the anti-semitic stuff and what have you, but it's not clear that astrology people are.

>>OS bundling is way overrated
>>the web said use "Chrome" because Chrome was better
I think you may be ignoring that google bundled chrome on android and "bundled" it with every web platform they owned. Youtube/gmail/maps etc. have suffered firefox incompatabilities and shown large pop ups suggesting users move to chrome.

If bundling is overrated why do you think google created chrome in the first place? and continued to fund it and push it on their platforms for years?

Fundamentally, if they think their users want this enough (for it to be profitable), they should be willing to give their customers what they want. Seems reasonably compatible with Apple’s business, for example.
If you're worried (like really worried) about a binary, then it can easily fool readelf (btw, it can fool ldd too), so eg the data from the ELF header is never used.

Probably running `strace` or `perf record -e intel_pt` in a confined environ is the best option to see what a binary really does, short of using ida/disasm/gdb - but then a binary can discover the use of strace too, and behave differently :).

It's turtles all the way down.
That seems completely crazy.

Othar than word size (eg. i386 vs. x86_64), endianness (eg. PPC vs. x86), alignment (eg. ARM vs. x86) there's plenty of other low-level issues like parameter passing conventions, call frame handling, exception handling, presence or absence of optional instructions or registers, and a number of other subtle gotchas that could affect a port. Instruction probing is one of the ones we run into where everything builds find and fails at runtime.

If you're working at a high enough level you're probably fine. Like the difference between being an auto mechanic and using the app to hail a ride.
I feel it's more of a personal background issue. Do you really have objection with planets effects on personality but at the same time feel turning water into wine is plausible in the slightest?

To a raised atheist all religions are not far removed from belief in Santa Claus. But to someone with religious people in the family cutting them off may come not as natural as of strangers with astrology brain.
Just say you're Ophiuchus that really sets them off. It's a removed sign from the zodiac. If it's so accurate how can an entire sign be removed. Although I'm sure they'll have a ready-made excuse.
> but there are reasons every single human who could jumped on chrome when it was released.

...Advertising? Antitrust action?

Because, let's be honest, Firefox had been around for a while, and Opera was there even longer. The people who waited until Chrome for to jump ship were, mostly, people who hadn't heard of an alternative.
May be the use case can be defined as "check availability without leaving context"

Say, you want to implement your own system X based on gpt4 and the plugins. May be customer relation management. You want to check if your website is accessible for your users and track that. Then, you may be want to artificially generate content based on real time findings that needs to be uploaded to your website - what if the website is not accessible?"

Something like that. In general I think there is no 'not useful' in the world. Everything can be somehow used. Even if for complete different topic as intended.
I don’t think it had outer joins.
How though? At least here (NL) the rewards aren't great until you get very senior, which is hard to do with a background in Software Engineering?
No, but if you were, say, in your 20s I could see how you might _believe_ it was; it had a bit of a dry spell. Astrology's been a perennial fad for, well, millennia, but in a modern context it shows up every couple of decades.
IE being the default also meant that malware and viruses targeted it, and VBA scripting in Office.

Chrome started out not being targeted by these, and in addition, Google pushed security patches pretty quickly.

Anyone got any numbers on the frequency of exploits, and the mean time-to-patch, for IE vs Chrome, over time?
My perception is that there’s 2 schools of what they’re trying to appear like:

Why did IE last so long and refuse to die? Simple:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7”>

During the oughts a lot of large companies had a lot of applications written using Microsoft DHTML “behaviors” and other specific tech. At an insurance company I worked on an app in the late teens that required IE7 and moving that to Chrome/Firefox was a 4 developers for 6 months effort. Which was actually really good since no one thought it could be done.

Many of these companies “standardized” on ie11 and wouldn’t even install chrome or Firefox. That’s why IE lasted so long.
Especially young people are still developing, learning, evolving and it is quite normal to be convinced of x and "practice it" until one realizes that the application of x never yields positive results or opens one up to manipulation. In fact, lies and liars can build convincing games and keep you hooked until the day you die.

When it comes to astrology, theory and practice are rather simple. Here's the hyper light version: Once upon a time, civilized communities were small, the gene pool was not yet diverse. "P" identified patterns and created narratives around these patterns. Children were parented and socialized using these narratives and so it seemed like these patterns were indeed natural occurrences. "V" didn't like the pattern her child was supposedly born under and raised it differently. Naturally, the child broke the patterns and the narrative. "Only" the children, who grew up close to "V" or her children kept diverging. Even today, people raise their children under certain narratives, with certain convictions, following patterns in thought, speech and actions. For some of those, more than enough actually, astrology actually hits bullseye more often than not. Some people crave the same kind of "higher order".

It's story telling, neuro-linguistic programming, socialization, marketing, rationality with bogus, unverifiable premises. The logic is sound until people decide to diverge from the norm, opening themselves up to all the variety in the reality outside the walled garden.

> I automatically assume they are not intelligent, irrational, and I find it impossible to take them seriously

There are a lot of people who are highly regarded in history but who also believed in astrology, so you shouldn't be too hard on it. Do you feel similarly about people who believe in various religions?

These people believed in astrology to varying degrees:

Winston Churchill

J.P. Morgan

Nancy Reagan

Theodore Roosevelt (even displayed his horoscope in the Oval Office)

This is just a small sample.
Religious wars are rarely about religion. And hopefully mostly in the past.

Usually about colonisation, control, who has political power, who's getting the best land.

You can trick the true believers into fighting for you of course, but what's the difference between Nazis and Christians invading the Middle East?
>This can't be right though, because IE always had updates too, via Windows Update. Although they weren't as frequent as Chrome's

It was typically the case that Internet Explorer major version updates were optional, so you could use IE6 on Windows XP SP3, despite IE8 being out at that time.

IE6 was actually supported until 2016 on embedded versions of Windows XP!
i find hacker news to be funny these days.

What I wrote is the actual truth of the matter. And yet it gets downvoted. I suppose because people would rather believe something else. oh well!
That is indeed total bollocks as you say but there's something going on regarding astrology in this half-year. Some two months ago after finishing configuring my first Android phone I'm seeing this weird banner at the bottom of Play Store [1] saying "What does your horoscope says about your gaming preferences? The best game for your zodiac sign". Then, there's this well-known Polish newspaper service gazeta.pl, which in its RSS channels publishes daily horoscope for about 3 or 4 months now. And about 4 days ago I'm seeing an ad on tv (mum jumps between live tv and netflix) regarding again, astrology and best around horoscope predictions in some magazine I never heard about.

The question is, does there is indeed some high interest in this stuff that happen naturally. Or some manager in this half-year spotted a spike of interest and decided this is the new big thing for younger generations and now we're seeing the outcome: people being aggressively flood with astrology stuff all around. Or this is some well-thought campaign to condition younger people to drive further away from whatever values they barely hold on into this fringe territory of predicting one's future from star and planets positions.

When put like this it really sounds like astrology is just trying to be a tool to predict and explain someone's behavior based on external factors that have a non complex origin.

A more accurate and scientific version would be to be to examine someone's upbringing and life events while using methods from modern psychology.

Note that both methods are kind of cold and one way. You are determined to examine someone else, while the needs of the person you are examining are not important here.

The sane or pragmatic way is just to accept that a person is complex and instead let your internal model of their personality evolve through conversation and shared experiences.

> If the dynamic linker is part of the OS, then surely the OS should already know where it is?

It's both part of the OS and the language's compiler tool chain the program was written in. For the vast majority of Linux executables that's glibc and the ld-linux.so that glibc ships.

And you don't need to hard code the path inside your executable. Static PIE objects for example are dynamic elf objects without an interpreter header. The system loader is capable of launching them just fine.
Putting something in a journal is literally just publishing a result. It explicitly does not intrinsically carry notions of validity for the exact reasons you point out.

How are scientists supposed to share results in a way that doesn’t run the risk of someone else taking it as gospel, or even more likely: of someone on the internet thinking that the scientific community is taking it as gospel (which they’re generally not… again for the exact reasons you mention).

Amazing how again & again, even so-called 'experts' can't do math, or ignore fundamental physics constraints. Never mind news outlets or the general public.

And... most people don't understand exponential growth.

Which brings me to b) math + physics is much much much much more reliable than people.

So if you understand the physics involved, do the math, conclude that it can't possibly work, but someone (expert or otherwise) says it will work: go with your calculator. :-)

I'll offer a different take: Thinking that complexity can be offloaded into the language is not seeing the whole picture.

Offloading complexity into the language works for the simple cases, but the more one is trying to fit a solution into a physical box with physical constraints, and the more flexibility is required from the business logic, the situation will change in such a way that more control about the specific of the solution becomes a requirement, and the language shortcuts will fit less and less, to the point where they become a liability. Doubly so if it is difficult or impossible to unwrap the layers of language features.

Of course, many problems can be solved with just a few Python scripts, or even with a huge pile of them. On the other hand, we can find a possible explanation why it could make sense for some teams to code huge apps in low-level languages (C or C++) or languages with few language features (e.g. Golang), or even to try and control the whole stack by maintaining their own language infrastructure.
No contradiction.

Swiping on the address bar - horizontal to switch tabs, vertical to enter tab overview - is one of iOS Safari’s best features. It prevents me from using any other browser that doesn’t have this. It was even one of the main reasons to not use Orion, which does the navigation but only has a static animation that doesn’t match the actual swiping movement. Apple did set a high bar with UX, but it’s really good.

How exactly it would fool readelf, which works on entirely different principles?
Chrome was fast and minimal when first released while Firefox famously ate all of your memory. No matter how much you had, it would eat it. I remember being mocked for the number of tabs I would always have open, but secretly, they were just jealous that it was actually possible.

This was in the days of “don’t be evil” and people even liking google. Firefox had its advocates, but it wasn’t the simple “just way better than IE” that chrome was. I shamefully moved from Firefox to chrome. For the tabs man, I needed those tabs.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same subject!

I was responding to someone proposing to let everybody consume what he wants, and I replied that freedom to choose must imply obligation of bearing the consequences.

Concerning the addiction, while freeing any addicted person from his shackles would be of great value for everybody (both the addicted person and the society at large), we must also insist on prevention as much as possible. And considering addiction only a disease, while forgetting that it usually stems from an initial deliberate choice, is a very dangerous stance.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but you cannot ever become dependent on a drug if you never consumed it. Which means that, short of being forcefully injected, every dependency on an illegal drug has roots in the initial choice.

I feel the pain for the people already in it, but treating anything less than extremely serious has being, and is still, wreaking havoc on several generations.

Just stop pushing the idea that there is anything cool or romantic in illegal drugs.
It's all interlinked man.

>A handful of members of Congress, allied with the nation’s major drug distributors, prevailed upon the DEA and the Justice Department to agree to a more industry-friendly law, undermining efforts to stanch the flow of pain pills, according to an investigation by The Washington Post and “60 Minutes.” The DEA had opposed the effort for years. The law was the crowning achievement of a multifaceted campaign by the drug industry to weaken aggressive DEA enforcement efforts against drug distribution companies that were supplying corrupt doctors and pharmacists who peddled narcotics to the black market.
