You did what I did, but 30 years ago, hats off. I've had a few suits made by my tailor and some were well crafted, others, well, let's leave it at that. I would say, outside of SE Asia, $1k is the middle ground between too expensive for a made-to-measure suit and too cheap for a bespoke suit.

As I see it, it is more fun to have distinctive garments made. I had a shirt made inspired by a shirt I saw Fonda wear in a Western movie, a denim jacket seen in a Paul Newman interview. It was a lot of fun, but dealing with the tailor took some tenacity and a certain unusual desire to wear those clothes.

That would remove a good percentage of correct answers. The obvious solution is to fix their weird and completely dysfunctional moderation.
I agree with you that extending Visual Studio Code is a quite different experience, more akin to pulling teeth or writing COM controls in C++ in the 90s than to extending Emacs, which can be done live in your editing session as you work.

But. Seventy-five percent of developers use Visual Studio Code, with most of the rest being vim, neovim, or JetBrains holdouts. All of the brainpower for extensions and tooling integration is going into Visual Studio Code, not Emacs. Soon, Emacs will simply be left behind.
That is only true if the using the new softmax changes the dynamic range of the values. We are using floating point not fixed point. So if before our values went from 1 to 5000 and now they go from 0.0002 to 1 we still have the same dynamic range and so still need the same resolution.
I block China and Turkey from some of my websites to reduce bots and hacking attempts, does this make me a bad person for discriminating or should I have to tolerate the script kiddies, ddosing and exploit searches?

I’m not defending google’s crap but I should be able to block anyone I want from my websites if I choose.
I probably should have, but I never felt the question was worthy.
tbqh, since these are all chromebooks, "Does this run Chrome" covers a hell of a lot of ground.

The device management stuff is probably the big kicker, since I imagine schools can manage these machines quite easily through some Google management console.

Maybe if Google added support for machines running some Ubuntu LTS or otherwise....
IMHO, Apple has a very good opportunity to open-source Safari. If Safari were to become cross platform, out would surely help in fighting Google Chrome's dominance.

Although I do agree that means there's less competition in the browser engine world.
Show HN: Prosona – Your co-pilot for intelligent responses in Slack
Prosona was built to solve a personal problem at work - we’re constantly bombarded by questions from colleagues and our productivity suffered as a result.

All knowledge workers spend 15% - 20% of their time searching and gathering information. This often occurs when a colleague asks for a status update or how something works. Although the answers may be simple, the process of referring to Jira, grabbing links, and formulating an apt response is time-consuming. Until Prosona, this inconvenient context switch was just an accepted aspect of work life.

The issue is compounded by the dispersion of knowledge across a variety of apps such as Google Drive, Slack, and Email. We lose track of where information resides, or worse, forget about the existence of some information within our tools altogether. Adding new information to the mix becomes a tedious task of properly categorizing and documenting it.

This is where Prosona comes in. Our system integrates with all your knowledge stores, learns your unique tone of voice to then generate a draft allowing you to further personalize the message if needed.

In terms of security, we place the utmost importance on the protection of your data which is why it is encrypted in our vector DB. It can only be decrypted by you.

As an employee, your focus should be on achieving what truly matters: whether it's meeting your OKRs, making an impact, or enjoying pastimes outside work. The last thing you need is to get bogged down in crafting routine messages to keep colleagues updated.

All you have to do is type `/prosona` in Slack, and a beautiful draft will be written grounded in your context and tone.

Today we’re launching our private beta. To take part, sign up on our website. We're providing access to the first 500 people who register.
I used to answer questions until they kept telling me that answers should not be short but long with examples. I didn't want to waste my time so i stopped answering all together
The method we leaned on (with success) was a one-page PDF shared by another parent. So many books of this sort are a bullet-point list fleshed out to justify the sale price, and little else. Case studies and history and whatever else.
Linux supports all these machines. It'd take so little for ChromeOS to keep support up. It'll be one for the history books if Google just elects to let this situation degrade.

They could show up at any time & do very little & restore public trust, make the company look good. But it sure looks like, once again, Google will just let everything go up in flames & fire. They'll make all computing look abominable, simply because the typical corporate bureaucracy doesn't even comprehend it's own hand smacking itself in the face.
IME for chromebooks there's not a lot of student software that doesn't have a web app version.
sprinkle in a 100K+ reputation user commenting "this is easily answered with `man Y`" — oblivious to the fact that Y's manpage is a 188 page monster, and manpages being awkward to search in.

I have not looked into this much, but I had always assumed that step one of creating a valid UBI scheme was solving authentication. Otherwise UBI is griftopia as scammers could sign-up multiple times. I thought The Orb was a solution to that problem.
You... study how they evolve, in context. You're going to have to go do real historical research. Read the documentation and source code, absolutely. But also read emails, get access to participants' papers, interview participants, study the environment(s) in which the software grew up and spread, study the background contexts (what else was happening in computing at the time: licensing, etc.), and so forth.

Do real history, in other words. This is one of the major flaws of research on software history to this day, and it's not like I'm making this up on my own. Real historians who study computer history have commented on this problem. Software history needs to be treated like... history and studied accordingly.

WTF is shit s**t.
I use Edge's split layout now, along with boring ol' HN and a Tampermonkey script that opens every link in a new window. This gives me a split screen view with every new link going to the right split.
Theres VLIW/'preprediction'/some other technical name I forget for infrastructures which instead ask you to explicitly schedule instruction/data/branch prediction. If I remember, the two biggest examples I can think of were IA64 and Alpha. I wanna think HP-PA did the same but I'm not clear on that one.

For various reasons, all these infras eventually lost out in the market due to market pressure (and cost/watt/IPC, I guess).
The mobile equivalent, the play integrity API should be illegal and fought in court. I'm also pretty sure it goes against the right to repair and e-waste laws in the EU since it's whole idea is to remove third party roms.

We should start to orient the debate instead on the security issues created by Google and their ads.
Behaving like perfectly rational actors, of course.
Ask HN: Would you pay to have code verified?
We want to explore the possibility of verifying a few modules (at first — entire codebases later) at a reasonable fee.
Context: We're working on a tool for verifying C code and want some concrete problems to throw at it. Our tooling is C-based, but we're open to code in other C-style languages.

Does anyone have any functions/libraries they would actually pay to have formally verified?
especially those of us invested in the safety and security (collectively, trust) of the web.

Note that "safety and security" has become an abhorrent phrase among many of us because it evokes the "authoritarian dystopia" that Google et.al. are creating --- we're more concerned about freedom and interoperability.
I couldn't figure out how to gain any points other than answering my own question, but I needed points to contribute in any way. It's like SO is set up to be difficult to use. I can't imagine why anyone keeps using it.
I disagree that oversight stats don’t exist.

I would start with the number of civil cases brought against police officers that are thrown out due to qualified immunity.

Or number of police departments with civilian oversight boards though many of these are proven to be ineffective.

Yeah, he's pretty much the most trustworthy person on the planet and has never lied to serve his own ends. I mean, I guess there's still you that's the weak link in that chain of trust, but otherwise certainly if he said it it must be true.
I am happy there is info on how to "liberate" these devices. The school's usecases are much more around having a locked down environment so that kids' systems can be recovered easily, and I don't know if just installing Ubuntu helps a lot with that use case.

Given enterprise environments exist though, I do feel like there must be _some_ sort of setup that could be done to get a fairly robust environment. Especially if the kid's accounts are locked down enough. Bit of an OS distro problem, but the market might be there given what we're seeing here!
I like this idea. Help users by training them to use multiple browsers regularly. My kids already use multiple browsers (e.g. to block youtube ads on their android devices). People will happily use other browsers if they have a good reason to.

But rather than block them outright, I would disable all but the necessarily features snd keep reminding those users to either switch to another browser or to use something like tampermonkey (with clear instructions in what it needs to do).

What would be a good way to detect support for this stuff? The js api?
"Intel® APX demonstrates the advantage of the variable-length instruction encodings of x86 – new features enhancing the entire instruction set can be defined with only incremental changes to the instruction-decode hardware."

In other words, their initial sloppiness was a Feature™: our initial mess was so bad that changes like these don't make it any worse!
Virgin America offered a service like this when I flew with them a decade ago.

If you saw someone you liked, you could make a note of their seat number and buy them a drink from your seatback display.

If they accepted the drink, you could start texting with them.

Why would anyone other than undergraduate students spend their time on such a site
The technical qualifications of the responses are lacking.

They usually seem to only know magical incantations that will get things to work and don't have deep familiarity because really competent people aren't googling for answers like we are so they never land on the page to give their 2¢

There needs to be different exclusion and barriers but not through the wacky constitutional sheriff system they are using.

Mailing lists are decent because you know you're going out on blast so social norms kick in. If you mail say LKML, most people imagine important kernel people taking their time to read your blabberings and that likely stops those who can't improve the silence.

SO OTOH seems too unbounded and freewheeling where popularity is more important than responsibility. It's the wrong cadence between invitation and expectation.

Anyways, grumble grumble.
That's a bit of a leap. Because one set of ideas were wrong therefore having ideas is useless? Even those wrong ideas generated new and useful ideas.
I also don't understand how you intend to improve implementation without having more ideas.
The fantasies are your conflation of all human progress with "capitalism".
How were they pushed extremely hard? Private tutors? What else?
Proactively asking on SO is a no go to solve any problem. Just digging for anyone who already answer your question, or open a issue on the github repo which host the library you use. SO used to be a place where people could ask anything they want, but now only difficult questions could be answered, or else it will be downvoted, marked as duplicated or answered by some toxic people, definitely not a good beginner experience.
There are no articles to confirm that it wasn't, either.

As for justifying layoffs, Twitter (or X, or whatever it is) seems to be working just fine, despite the dire predictions that the whole thing was going to die within days.
Looking at the court documents, it seems shady organizations registered a bunch of domain names that are used in the trade of brand-name athletic gear. The victim's identity was used to register one of those domain names, but just looking at the other registrations it's pretty clear the organizations are based out of China. In this context, the case brought by the brand owners is a little more reasonable -- if they did not try to defend their brands against this level of counterfeiting, then, they can be found to have lacked diligence in defending their trademarks.

However, in the case of the victim, her owing $1.2mm in penalties hinges on her identity being used as the owner of some domain names that contain these brands' names.

I suppose if the victim had "infinite resources" the next step as the victim would be to file a lawsuit against the domain name registrars for claiming she owned the sites. If the registrar would remove her stolen identity from the site then the suit would have no basis to link her to the domain names and she would be cleared.

But then again, what incentive would a domain name registrar have to remove your stolen ID as the owner? If they simply agreed to do it when asked, then anyone could send a fake letter to the registrar claiming you don't own your DNS records and remove you as the owner of them.

Genuine question to HN readers -- if you woke up tomorrow and found a whois entry that had your name and details listed as owner for a site that traded in illicit goods and/or morally objectionable content, how would one go about correcting that?
Calling people morons is not an effective tool for changing minds. If you're arguing without the intent to change minds... maybe reconsider.

But did you even _try_ to read the manual? Did you lift a finger to figure out what the issue is? Some of the best answers are ones that directly quote the manual and then add clarity since manual language can be terse.
Small kids struggle with focus, and here it's a good thing: they work to expand their environment and explore.

And, yes, you're totally right: too many toys and other things seem to exist to exploit this in the name of keeping kids quiet for a couple of minutes and extracting money from guardians. Not to mention the excessive use of tablets and screen time for kids under 5.

But I'm talking about something somewhat different: I know quite a few 17-19 year olds that genuinely want to absorb information, but literally cannot hold focus through a 15 second interruption. This is way more prevalent now than a few years ago, and it seems to be the students who are obsessed with short-form video that struggle the most.

I think all the things you're mentioning are relevant, but the big thing is that with mobile devices and short-form content we've created an environment where distraction never lets up. Most of us had to learn to be bored during some of our summer and sit with the feeling: that opportunity doesn't really exist now for youth.
AWS does offer Zen 2 based EC2 instances though (C5a family for example).
Z_719 is the shorthand for integers in [0, 718], with Z_n typically connotating the algebraic group or ring of integers up to n. In this case 360(Z_719) is an ideal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_(ring_theory)) over that domain.

While the ordered sequence of Z_719 is just {0, 1, 2... 718} then wrapping back around to 0, for the ideal 360(Z_719) you get {0, 360, 360*2 % 719 = 1, ...} which is the basis of my joke :)
> when people get used to consuming content in 30 second blipverts, they become unable to maintain attention through a 10 second break in the action.

I keep hearing this but is there actual evidence? My anecdata is that I can watch tiktoks and read programming books all day without one impacting the other. I honestly have trouble believing that our attention mechanism is so flawed it can be broken so easily.

I think the more likely explanation is that consumed content is just more efficient these days. In other words, it's not our attention span that's changing but our data culture. I think that's a good thing too.
I would suggest going to the bank, in person, and telling them very strongly that I will take my money elsewhere if they do that.
That really really depends on what you want to do, can you add a bit more information? Also those choices are not mutually exclusive, you can run Clojurescript on Node.js, but you would probably be better off using normal Clojure.

They're a different epistemology. Tools of storytelling - video vs. book in this case - are being conflated with their use. They are tools not exclusive to a single epistemology, many ways to explore many perspectives of 'what'.

Contrast, for example that either of these books' narration allows a reader to fill in a lot of the blanks with experience, both real and imagined, constructing it for themselves even down to the temperature of the air, shade of light at dusk, smell of the air, exact tone and pitch of voice of a speaker. Vs. a video where the experience is fully narrated and scenes presented in 4k. Is the video 'more digestible' because it's a different thing being digested?

Not that these tables can't and often aren't reversed. Some vloggers say little, sometimes 'scaffolding' only some understanding through a bit of backstory, or allow their audience to similarly construct experiences of the pieces of a journey. And some books are instruction manuals, or unintentionally read as so.

A tool, be that video, text, audio, game, is only that. It's just a medium, a method that's surface to the deeper world view of the 'maker'.

Not exactly, especially in the context of this issue. You could use the MMX registers as 'traditional' registers (or at least a scratchpad), not quite like the x87 stack.

There are 8 64-bit MMX registers. To avoid having to add new registers, they were made to overlap with the FPU stack register. This means that the MMX instructions and the FPU instructions cannot be used simultaneously. MMX registers are addressed directly, and do not need to be accessed by pushing and popping in the same way as the FPU registers. [1]

I think Discord has had a huge impact on Stack Overflow as there are many communities created for specific technologies, languages, frameworks, or topics, where most users can get answers from direct contributors or people who have the best industry knowledge on the topic in question.

Not to mention how beneficial it is for brands and products to create such closely-knit communities for their users. There's no need to Google things or ask on SO, as one can chat in real time and go back and forth for solutions with other users.

Same with the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Famously targeted journalists, doctors, lawyers, scientists, academics, business leaders, etc.
The thing is that oftentimes people who want to do 'X by Y' are actually asking how to accomplish Q. They think 'X by Y' is the solution and get hit by a roadblock, not knowing that it will not help them and they are wasting time.

This is called the XY problem and is extremely common on tech related forums and mailing lists.
