> The exact flavors of that on HN, Slashdot, Twitter, Tumblr, etc are different, but the core issue is the same everywhere.

I think there are three main factors. Some cases are more one than the other.

1. Anonymity. Many places people know who you really are. Your family, friends, and coworkers arent judging you.

2. Using a mob for cover. As an analogy, its a lot safer to throw a Molotov cocktail from a crowd then by yourself.

3. No empathy for avatars. You aren’t talking to a real person, who you would empathize a lot more with.

After writing these, they are largely different shades of anonymity.
It was required reading at a place I worked a few years back. The chapters on batch and stream processing are good. Both applicable to batch/streaming inference.
So the core standard is called NEN1010 and it costs money to get it. The way I got it is they had just built an app for reading the standards and they were offering a trial of the app. So I got the trial, dumped the entire NEN1010 and some accompanying docs and read them at my leisure.

I don't think I've seen stranded wire at the Hornbach. Of course you could do it wrong if you buy your wire in entirely the wrong section, and don't even bother to read the instructions of the wago connectors. I meant it's hard to do it wrong if you're trying to do it right. Hopefully that makes sense :p
That is exactly what those sim boxes are for, in case you were wondering. Really, you should just lay off stuff like this if you don't have personal contacts in Ukraine that relay to you what is going on. Otherwise the chances are very high that you're being sold a bill of goods there is absolutely no way to prove or disprove any of this if it is second hand if it isn't from a very reputable source, say a BBC reporter or something like that.

As for the NAFO stuff... if you're of that opinion, what are you doing here?
I’m honestly surprised there’s not a medically recognized condition for being someone that operates like this company (and others) of having no moral fiber and is only about making the dollars now with shady tactics.
Oh, it's entirely possible to get bit-reproducible results. Just not in a performance portable fashion.

Different microarchitectures (e.g. how many vector instructions of what size need to be in flight for full occupancy), different numbers of cores (see threading discussion below) and often even differently aligned memory (does it need repacked or not for best performance?) will all require different order of operations to obtain maximum throughput, which means different (but equally valid) results.

For threading in particular if you want to get the same bit-exact answer, you end up constraining yourself to a particular ordering on reduction operations. This in turn either outright prevents techniques such as work-stealing or fires a very prescriptive reduction tree that itself constrains parallelism.

This is entirely driven by hardware and its impacts on performance of algorithms, and applies regardless of the language you're writing in if you want to obtain the best possible performance from a given chip.

It genuinely suprises me people pay for it in the first place
Personally, it’s not so much that I disagree. It’s more that Ocaml has a top notch ecosystem for compiler writing. That’s probably by far its strongest point with library like Menhir having few equivalent in different ecosystem.

Not that there is anything wrong with Rust if you are ready to pay the price of having so much low level things to deal with.
Yeah, if the TOS says one thing, and a blogpost pinky-promises another, only one of those two actually counts as far as I'm concerned.
> Syscall latency also is not the end-all-be-all of performance.

That depends on what you're doing. If you're running some digital signage display or whatever, no one cares about a missing display frame or whatever. But if you're running a car's HUD or, worse, its steering system, you absolutely need the execution time guarantees or your code won't make it past certification.
What do you find better about a password manager compared to having total control and storing the passwords yourself in a simple text file? You still need a master password to access the information, and while there's less automation, there is a degree of simplicity and accessibility that is only paralleled by a built-in OS primitive for it. GPG and Vim are on just about everything.

I would like to read write-ups of people who lost their password manager and were still able to use the encrypted storage and retrieve secrets with alternative tools. Being dependent on a specific tool for accessing dozens of sites feels like adding fragile infrastructure to my online identity. The only SPOF should be whether my body has access to an Internet connection! :)

Granted, the quality of the encrypted text file is dependent on your discipline in managing it. However, it's simple and compatible with most *nix systems out of the box.

Maybe part of it is how one interacts online, too? I try to reduce the number of accounts I have on the Web. Each one is another potential data leak risk. I might have different needs if I kept signing up to site after site, or needed to manage a brand or something else that's interaction- and account-heavy.

Aside from my personal server, I probably have fewer than 10 or 12 passwords to remember or manage. If we add a zero, I see the use for a password manager.
don’t you mean future flesh host to the machine god?

it’s fine. it’s basically the same thing at this point.
I was expecting a block chart, kind of disappointed it isn't.
This is like asking why someone doesn't want to do free work for Oracle's database offerings. I mean, why not try to make things better?

Well, because a lot of corporations couldn't care less about the public good and are happy to cause harm if it makes them more money. OpenAI doesn't care about your welfare or mine any more than a sleezy ad company or spyware product does.

If OpenAI were actually an open source company working to benefit the broader ecosystem I would agree with you, but that's about as far as possible from the current state.
sponsoring an open-source project so that it is well maintained?

Invalid assumption.

There is no guarantee of any kind with open source --- not for maintenance or direction or control or support or schedule or anything. Open source makes demands but offers no real promises in return.

If this is really a "critical" app and you need better control, I'd say you have no sensible/realistic option but to either built it yourself or at least maintain your own version of it. Lots of people have figured this out the hard way.
Raku is interesting as a language indeed.

I can't get over some of the idioms, they just don't map nicely in my head. The same reason AppleScript struck me as weird, it trys to use natural language on one hand (e.g. `my`, `say`, `sub`, `gather`) with some oddities like `@` being used for (assuming?) scoped iterations or declaring modules[0] and some other from-an-outsider byzantine syntax decisions. For instance, I can logic this out, mostly, but it would not feel intuitive to me to "discover":

```

my @bottles = (flat ((99...2) X~ ' bottles'),
'1 bottle',
'no more bottles',
'99 bottles');

my @actions = (flat 'Take one down and pass it around' xx 99,
'Go to the store and buy some more');

for flat @bottles Z @actions Z @bottles[1..*] {
say "$^a of beer on the wall, $^a of beer.
$^b, $^c of beer on the wall.\n".tc;
}

```

These idioms don't click for me intuitively. Its a very symbol heavy language and the symbols often appear to be overloaded by context.

All to say, its okay! different languages isn't a bad thing, however I can't say that I'd use Raku even if it was the best fit for something, like say, a natural language parser (which based on all evidence Perl / Raku is really good at building parsers)

> Mozilla literally forced out the creator of Javascript, Brendan Eich, because of his religious and political views.

That's inaccurate and unfair. He resigned (was not forced out) and the backlash he faced wasn't because of his religious and political views, but because he was working to impose his religious and political views on others. Nobody was demanding that Brendan get gay married, but he wanted to prevent others from getting gay married if they wanted to.
> they ditched the DOM

I strongly recommend NOT doing this. It sounds like a fantastic idea in theory (who wouldn't want pixel-perfect control over all client viewports?), but there are so many caveats and edge cases that make it a nightmare in practice. You don't even have to get into accessibility or internationalization stuff to find the kinds of sharp edges that scared me away. Simple things like HiDPI, resizing viewports and drawing text.

I spent a solid 3-4 months of time on this path. I was so tired of fighting platform/browser quirks that it made sense. Now, I accept those quirks as battle-tested features and don't try to fight them anymore.

The only reason you should actually ditch the DOM is if you are doing something like Overwatch in the browser. Even then, I'd argue you would be a complete dumbass if you skip out on the power of CSS, etc. for purposes of handling your Menu/HUD elements.
There's also "cover your ass". At least I've heard tales of major aerospace companies keeping warehouses of old sun hardware in case they need to demonstrate the simulations they ran back in the 90s were not fabricated...
> We appear to be in fairly solid agreement on why a receiving device uses more battery. Has nothing to do with one being more battery per byte sent/received. Has everything to do with whiffing on many more receives than you do on sends. And is in complete control of the person building/operating the device.

Ah I misunderstood your previous comment; yes we agree on all of this.
RAM is faster but CPU is even faster. The latency chasm between CPU and RAM has increased.

AVL vs RB (and a few others) remains an implementation choice, but B-trees (and a few others, e.g. splay trees) are forbidden unless you add gratuitous overhead.
No.

Shells are rather precise representations of the wavelike properties of electrons as they exist bound in atoms.

Electrons are neither exactly waves or particles, they have properties of both.

If you try to interact with an electrons’ particle like properties you tend to get particles, when you try to inject with electrons’ wavelike properties you tend to get waves.

The dual nature can be hard to say just right and communicate.

The math of what’s going on describes it extremely well… the “this is what’s actually going on” descriptions are more like metaphorical stories because on a human scale quantum objects just don’t exist.
I have a script I run using Alfred on macOS that creates a daily template page with some default sections for a few different brain dumps. I have a to-do list that gets updated based on the previous items. It removes any completed tasks from previous days and carries over tasks that weren't completed.

I have a section for some daily writing where I try to do some stream-of-consciousness.

Another section is for meeting and calls where I tend to write what people are saying to cement it better in my mind.

I will also use these daily pages to create bigger notes.

Example: [[Raspberry_Pi]] is an overall header, so I may open it up and either add general notes to it, or go to the projects section and add another link to something like [[pico-projects]] or something like that.

Adding certain tags to these pages will automatically move them to different folders depending on how they are tagged. Daily, projects, pi, etc. will move items to their respective folders.

Basically my daily pages are places where I dump stuff I don't care to look for again and use specific pages to track everything else I care about and will revisit as needed.

The latter. Though you can pack rhombic dodecahedrons with 100% efficiency I doubt you could get them to grow that way at an industrial scale.

Motorcyclist here who's in their 50's - you'd better sit down. I have some sobering facts for you.

The fatalities per 100 million miles driven are as follows (NHTSA data):

- 1.1 for car and truck drivers

- 2.3 for all motorcyclists

- 21.8 for motorcyclists over 50

Why is a 50 year old 20 times more likely to die on a motorcycle than a 20 year old? Here are some reasons given by the MSF:

- Decline is physical and cognitive abilities

- Increased risk-taking behavior (20 year olds don't typically do poker runs from bar to bar, for example)

- Riding bigger, faster bikes (as you know, tourers cost a lot of money, money that a 20 year old simply doesn't have)

Now I know neither you nor I are going to park our bikes, but it behooves us both to recognize the dangers in riding at our age and doing what we can to mitigate those risks.

Also, remember this: when those 20 year olds do something stupid on their sport bikes and crash they're pretty much good to go due to the resilience of their young bodies. Us? We're going to the hospital or the morgue. Those are just life's realities.

Keep the rubber down!
I'm sure they would do it using the most efficient methods available. That will reduce the overall cost, but not the concept I laid out. You'll still need all those steps at a minimum. The bottom line is that it's not a trivial "why don't they just..."
> Apparently the TOS can be edited at any time to say anything without notice.

Yes, as with most terms of service. It's one of the things that makes terms of service statements unreliable.
I imagine that it only works for the typical type of work that gets outsourced anyways-- very tightly scoped work in codebases that don't actually require deep integration with production systems or anything all that critical.

I have yet to have a super positive experience with the quality of work of offshore contractors either internally hired or via an external consulting company.
Why do they need the original to prevent people to get paid multiple times? What good is the hash they're storing if the same person's retinas don't reliably produce the same hash?

The shell is where you put all your side effects. Things like user input or writing to files.

That way you can use pure functions on the inside. Pure functions don't allow for side effects.

Have you considered actually answering why poor polish people didn't kill each other for shoes, instead of saying it's a dog whistle to mention it? You don't add anything besides labeling things randomly. What you're doing doesn't work anymore.
Any reason why the € symbol is on the 5, instead of the 4 (which is its standard location on Irish keyboards)?
That's what it looks like. I imagine it will be very similar to other platforms where they have a library of documentaries, educational programs, project overviews, live streams and archived live streams, etc... available to watch whenever. I suspect a lot of the programs they've previously broadcast on NASA TV will be put on there to seed it with content.

This addresses concerns about Zoom Video Communications, Inc. itself using e.g. recordings for purposes of training their own AI models. It does not address the potentially much greater risks arising from the company potentially selling access to the collection of zoom recordings to other companies for purposes of training AI models of such other companies.

I really couldn't understand the information, purpose, or audience for this article until I read it in the voice that announces John Cena.
> For example the Democrats provided structure in the form of slavery in the south pre civil war but that was found to be wrong of the government and on the repressive side of the continuum.

Are you one of those folks who insists that, because the Democrats supported enslavement 160 years ago, they're still to be regarded with suspicion? If so, do you also think that Republicans get a perpetual free pass, no matter what they do, because 160 years ago they were the party of abolition?
"I have the same question (113)"
I'm not saying it's not an important space, because it is. But the majority of use cases are not that latency-sensitive. And if you're not that latency-sensitive, it's not obvious that microkernels like SeL4 and QNX are faster than Linux, for the relevant definitions of faster.

And likely it's not even close when you take into consideration the capability gap between Linux and competitors, that is to say, the "fatness" comes from legitimately useful functionality, or compatibility, that any alternate kernel may need to implement to replace Linux for its own use cases, and not because something is wrong with Linux.

When I was looking at the language, I didn't find the documentation "really poor". In fact I was impressed at how much of a one-stop-shop the official docs site was for both conceptual docs and API docs.

It is cloud software. I expect them to get hacked sooner or later.
Kind of, originally the plan was to have .NET everywhere.

.NET 1.x brought Managed C++, which was replaced by C++/CLI in .NET 2.0.

However Office and WinDev were never big fans of it, so its main purpose has been as easier interop for C++ libraries indeed.

Also COM and C, as for anyone that is comfortable in C++, is is easier than getting all marshaling annotations correct.

However it isn't an option for code that has to be portable, as it relies on Visual C++ toolchain.
Those do sound like good ideas. Why don’t you try making a proof of concept? I’d definitely give it a go
I made a spinning LED sphere that has 72 addressable RGB LEDs on a 3-spoke "propeller" that spins on 2 axes. This is still a work in progress, as I need to design the final control board PCB so that it's not a bunch of breadboard wires, but the main physical assembly is complete.

* Got and learned how to use a 3D printer

* Learned parametric CAD in Fusion 360 to design the main assemblies that the motors, slip rings, and propeller attaches to.

* Learned how to design PCBs and had them made

* Re-learned soldering and did SMD soldering for the first time

* Learned some ESP32 programming to control it with bluetooth (I have plans to have a robust live-editor so you can control the light patterns from a tablet - currently on pause)

I guess I'm just less confident than you in my ability to read people's minds. But I do find it funny that we're arguing about intent when the initial point was that it didn't matter.
IIRC, a credit card magstripe can be read with a regular cassette tape head. Which were, if not quite ubiquitous yet, common enough in the late 80's/early 90's. Converting the analog pulses to the card's 16-digit (or whatever) number was almost certainly done with discrete logic at first.

I'm not sure what OP means about creating the "original" credit card reader, unless he was working for one the credit card companies rolling out the technology. (Doesn't make any sense to me that they would put magstripes on their cards without selling the readers to merchants too.)
What made you wait ;) ?
Back in the days of the Amiga, me and a friend were in high school and we were obsessed with Formula 1GP from Microprose so we took a couple of joysticks apart and we built ourselves the pedals and a wheel with gear shifts. It was pretty trashy looking but worked remarkably well.
I confess I had a mistaken thought that weigh stations were akin to toll booths. That is, that fees were levied based on the weight.
