Jupyter outputs to JSON. Livebook outputs to markdown, so it's more naturally renderable outside of the tool itself.

There are still some rough edges -- it would be nice if livebook could cache prerendered content. for example, kino graphs only chuck a big fat JSON into a html comment, it would be nice if it also popped out an svg or encoded png with data uri.
I hear this often and the idea that some people believe it strikes me as profoundly sad. I don't know if it's even as applicable as people who say this think it is. I don't know anyone who has ate and loved/fucked their way out of the dread of doing nothing and knowing nothing. They're usually just left wondering "is this all there really is?" I know plenty of people that primarily live off of gruel with little to no sex or romance and still feel like they have everything to live for. The nights of making things and feeling that the world is a thing I live in instead of a thing I'm just subjected to, takes up much more of my mind than any sex, food, or shelter ever has.

Some think that if white people had been a dark colour, photography of dark skin would have been a priority, and the technology would have been developed accordingly.
Being a doctor is like debugging a unique humongous software application with thousands of years of organic patchwork added by a godlike AI which just generates random code and watches the failed experiments die, no source code to any of it just the final binary, no debugger that lets you kill the process and dump its memory or trace its execution, just a bunch of test cases that cost lots of money to run and may yield false positives and false negatives making every bug some sort of heisenbug which may or may not show up when you try to reproduce it and reduces you to guessing with some percentage of certainty fuzzy logic, and even if you do manage to figure anything out in your desperate attempt to fix it you're reduced to essentially inserting event objects into the software's internal event system and hoping it produces the desired effects as it circulates throughout the entire system while hoping it won't adversely affect anything else and it's not even guaranteed to make anything better, or alternatively you pry the program open very carefully while it's running and cut code sections which grew tumorous or stitch together other sections which are leaking precious data or remodel the pipes so the data flows more efficiently, all to hopefully fix the problem while praying to god your attempt to fix it didn't actually make it worse because some malware randomly made it into the program while you worked on it.
Efficient keyboard layout for English and Spanish
Instead of counting distance like Workman does (and totally ignoring weird+painful finger stretches), good `ol community-debate among layout experts, who have collectively switched layouts thousands of times, was done to make Canary.

Introducing Canaria (spanish for "canary"). This version moves the J to make it faster to type in Spanish, without sacrificing English speed or ergonomics.

It's rare for an ergo key layout to be good in two languages. This one is.
The exact regulations can be crafted to reduce that risk.
Where did I imply that? The fault was with the JVM.

“The impetus for changing the default floating-point semantics of the platform in the late 1990's stemmed from a bad interaction between the original Java language and JVM semantics and some unfortunate peculiarities of the x87 floating-point co-processor instruction set of the popular x86 architecture.”
Isn't most road damage caused by climate and weather and not vehicles?
If somebody does not understand the implications of a computation such as a floating-point 0.1 + 0.2, they should not be using floating-point. It's not the job of the language to protect them from that. Decimal floating-point will be prone to very similar malfeasances, if that is what you are proposing; somebody unaware of the issues of binary floating point will not be helped by decimal floating point.

I do think it would be a good idea for programming languages to expose more exact number representations (for example, rational numbers, which are supported by some programming languages). But numbers are complicated, and you will never be able to imbue a computer with a number type that always behaves exactly the way that someone who knows nothing of computers would naively expect. Even mathematica does not quite manage it, and mathematica takes some somewhat extreme measures which would not be considered acceptable in many other general-purpose languages.
Humidity is the more important, or limiting, factor in most of these conversations.
I get that people don't like it when the price of things go up.

But surely people can see that the Uber pricing was unsustainable? The VC money was subsidising our transport (yay) but clearly that couldn't last.

So, as prictable to everyone , prices go up, drivers get less, and Uber are hoping riders will have grown so used to the convenience so as not to care.

Expect a flood of stories along these lines in the coming year.

I don't see the distinction you think is very obvious. Google is paying 3rd parties to bundle GoogleSearch as the default in their browser. That's what the government objects to. I'm fairly sure that violates antitrust rules just as much as bundling a browser with your OS does.

Valve and Obsidian Entertainment have such catalogue but even great studios fail from time to time.

Most will find a formula that works for a niche and stick with it. Which is smart because innovation increases both the chance of achieving something great and of releasing a fiasco.
You're absolutely right, I for one do care, a lot. Then, I feel _most_ don't, and since _most_ is driving this train we're in, I feel we have to deliver the message in all the possible ways it can be, including a toned down dismissive one. I know from experience that the _in your face_ affirmative way gets rammed-in the pickup truck way every single freakin time. So maybe one should try other ways. Our mileage may vary, of course.

You are getting into the weeds a little bit to the point that it's not really the question (or, rather, it would have been a more relevant comment higher up thread, this has sort of diverted to a more generic philosophical discussion largely disconnected to the orginal question).

In point of fact I think you are correct. I believe that any manufacturer _can_ make a car without seat belts, and any person can buy it. You just can't register it with the DMV because it won't be street legal, which is indeed a much more nuanced regulation with, at the very least, an even weaker personal freedom argument than previous.

So the actual regulation as it exists is not exactly what was originally stated in the first comment. I was replying to that comment as stated.
> Apple doesn't support interoperability with iMessage or a modern standard like RCS.

Sorry, but Google's proprietary closed source fork of RCS is not any kind of "standard".

> Google's version of RCS—the one promoted on the website with Google-exclusive features like optional encryption—is definitely proprietary, by the way. If this is supposed to be a standard, there's no way for a third-party to use Google's RCS APIs right now. Some messaging apps, like Beeper, have asked Google about integrating RCS and were told there's no public RCS API and no plans to build one.

Mitchell was a Netscape lawyer who wrote the NPL and MPL. She was not part of mozilla dot org from the beginning.

Your irrational animus toward me may be making you sloppy with that false claim about Mitchell in your first sentence, but your second paragraph just makes stuff up out of whole cloth. Lying, in a word. Mozilla rank and file as far as I know wanted me to stay. I have many letters and emails testifying to this.

It doesn't do you any credit to fulfill wishes this way, even on HN where a noisy but surprisingly small cohort do it vs. me, endlessly.
> By 2018, there were only 12 known serial killers and 44 victims, according to the report

Ok, I’m calling bullshit. There were 27 mass shooting events with >= 4 dead in the US in 2018:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_th...

(I used 4 dead as the cutoff, since it is close to the mean in the article’s data set.)

If you count people that managed to shoot at least 4 others, then there were 323 attempted serial murders, “resulting in 387 deaths and 1,283 injuries, for a total of 1,670 victims.”

The article may as well be titled “Serial murders can mow be performed in under an hour, thanks to improved technology”
glad we've cleared that up
Quick, easy, cheap cooking becomes a luxury in and of itself when you have GI issues that limit what you can eat. Putting together balanced meals on a very restrictive diet becomes an exhausting chore, almost exacerbated if you once enjoyed a broad diet and good home cooking. There have been many times in my life when I wished I could eat like this! Never take food for granted, not even your sad bastard dinner.

That said, if you live alone, you might as well go for my old favorite: the sardine melt. Toast some whole wheat bread, gently smash sardines into the toast, sprinkle with salt, put a slice of cheddar cheese on top, put back in toaster oven to melt the cheddar. Your apartment will smell like fish, but it actually tastes really good and is very nutrient dense. Get the sardines packed in olive oil for a little extra fat and flavor. A side of boiled peas or broccoli and carrots makes it a complete weeknight meal.

> We need proactive laws that break up companies if they grow beyond a certain size criteria.

Which is what the Sherman Act says:

"Every person who shall monopolize, or
attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other per-
son or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce
among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed
guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by
fine not exceeding $100,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other
person, $1,000,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or
by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court."

It hasn't been rigorously enforced since the 1960s, but the Department of Justice does have the option of enforcing it as written.
But this was always the plan, wasn't it?

Uber has been losing money since it started, subsiding our travel with VC money, I thought clearly always with the plan of "once we get market dominance we can jack up the prices and make all that money back". I don't think they were ever shy about this plan.

So now we're at that point. Either we put up with the new prices, or move on to another app, or find another transport solution. I don't think whining at Uber about how expensive they are now is a workable response.

> That's very misleading. They're not new - selinux is over 2 decades old.

I misspoke on SELinux and AppArmor being "new". What I was getting at is that they are distinct kernel features, compared to bwrap which is just a user of kernel features already familiar in this discussion. So "new", as in, "additional", e.g. "We turned up some new evidence from the old files".

And yes, SELinux is included as a first-class kernel feature. AppArmor is a bit different because it still has a lot of hurdles before all its features can be upstreamed. However, upstreaming is not the end-all-be-all so it's not necessarily a bad thing that parts of AppArmor are patched in, so I'm not emphasizing this point at all.

> What? Xen existed for years, that's not "in contrast".

Does the Xen or KVM ecosystems provide anything comparable to Windows hypervisor-enforced code integrity? That is, the host is aware of what kernel memory needs to be set to read-only or checked regularly for corruption or irregularities, in a system that is impossible to interfere with without a VM break. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/de... )

Secure VMs are great, VMs that are actually monitoring and enhancing the security of the code running inside are even better.
Then Apple should allow interoperability with the iMessage protocol. They maintain control without the anti-competitive side effects. They are also free to use any variant of RCS that isn't controlled by Google.
How does forcing some companies to pay to link TO a news story (and send traffic to that new story) do anything other than give an incentive not to link to news stories any more? How is making it impossible to discover news stories good for Canadian media? How is it good for Canadian citizens and Canadian democracy?

The underpinning concept in HTML is:

My document can link to your document without asking, and without cost.

This whole, if you send traffic to me you have to pay me for it is backwards.

Because people want to share and visit news links. Evidenced by the fact that they shared and visited news links often. Its a bit condescending to suggest you know whats better for people than the people freely choosing to engage in news articles.

Besides, the Canadian law doesn’t even ban news sharing on Facebook. It just institutes a shakedown.
As the maintainer of a Go container runtime (runc), and having worked with Rust in various other projects, while they can be better languages for building large projects, they make it harder to understand what exactly your program is doing when writing software like this.

One example that immediately comes to mind from Rust is a bug with O_PATH file descriptors I found a while ago[1], which would've made certain code we use in runc not work. And from Go, here is a bug I just found in their code for handling file descriptors for ForkExec[2] which is causing issues in a runc patch I'm working on. Neither of these issues exist in C programs. Though of course, C programs have their own issues. For better or worse, the Linux kernel APIs are easiest to use from C.

In runc we actually implement the core container setup code in C because Go doesn't allow you to do everything we need for setting up a container (it has gotten better though, in the past it was completely impossible to set up a container properly in pure Go -- now you can set one up but there are still certain configurations that are not possible to implement in pure Go, such as "docker exec"). You also cannot run Go in single-threaded mode, which means that certain kernel APIs (unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) for instance) simply cannot be used from regular Go code.

Fair enough - by the same token a Miata and a Hummer EV almost always pay same price due to having same number of axles. But I think this is a technological limitation rather than a social one, it's a lot less expensive to count axles than to weigh in motion.

TIOBE is a joke.

But it's such a long-running joke that people keep enjoying it almost as if it wasn't completely a joke.
You would be surprised. The DoD supports a really wide range of research, from biomedical to materials, energy, and computer science. After all, everything can be used to "defend" against an adversary.

It is one of the things that the US is still doing right. Lots of money is poured into basic research. Not all of them are used to build tanks and warships.
C++ (mentioned elsewhere in the thread). It's the main language that people bother to implement the full gamut of containers and their optimizations in; Rust is only barely starting to intrude.

Most other languages don't support things like value types, stuffing bits inside aligned pointers, etc. So even if someone implements a particular container it's sure to be quite suboptimal.
It's very hard for a layperson to research DA candidates and then choose the optimal one. That's assuming a jurisdiction where the position is elected and there are any worthwhile candidates in the first place.

If the position is appointed then you have yet another layer of indirection and competing factors for the voter to evaluate.

Even for presidential elections it's hard to feel great about your vote... Democracy kinda sucks.

I don't understand why people think this. Uber isn't a charity. Of course they are going to try to take advantage of demand shortages.

The intent of the book is meant to provide recipes that meet the need of the quote you shared—it just utilizes a form of black humor to share those recipes. It is genuinely something that can be helpful (I plan on using some of the recipes in the text) but the delivery of the recipes is interlaced with jokes about struggling with depression or a lack of motivation.

Just wanted to let you know that it's definitely not there to make fun of or belittle people like us who struggle—though it does utilize self-deprecating humor to give some flavor to the writing.
