Current leadership is ringing what's left from one of the world's most recognized brands while retreating from Disney's original defining ethos that helped enable them to build and captivate audiences across generations. It's a sad display.
Possibly they’re implying they wanted to write Twatter but corrected it.

“Twat” is a mild to medium insult (idiot, asshole etc depending on tone)
It is a new kind of literature, with the key characteristic being "dynamically sequenced reading".

Unlike literature, code is supposed to be read in an order most conducive to the reader's goals, rather than the author's goals.

Also, unlike literature, often new code is built upon old in an explicit and direct way. Although even in literature, one builds on top of old ideas.

I think Peter Norvig once commented on why Knuth's Literate programming didn't catch on. His guess was that, people usually have a specific purpose when they are looking into a piece of programming, and they want to read it in an order most suitable to them.

With LLMs, there could be dynamic code exploration helpers, I think. They could take our goals, and then introduce parts of the code that are relevant to the reader, with extended guidance...
They both act like they are the most important people in the world and their shit doesn't stink. Yet they are following the footsteps of Ballmer and Bushnell.
The claim is that we have to blame Firefox's failure on bundling and google.com banners, and can't discuss how hostile and bizarre they've been. We also can't discuss that 80% of their revenue comes from Google, for nothing, and that the other 20% of their revenue is the entire return on 100% of their investment in the browser.
A lump of raw ore on a shelf in your home office? Sure.

Uranium ore in ton quantities, underground in a poorly ventilated mine? That’s a big health risk, due to radon, other daughter products, and the inherent heavy metal hazards of uranium.
This is the most convulated article, in trying to connect that two iconic brands real value is in real life experiences.
There might not be any competitors to switch to. Juul is the biggest target, the one most capable of defending itself with research and technology. If the FDA bans Juul's products, then the entire vape market will vanish.
Google also paid freeware application developers to bundle Chrome in their installers.
Thanks for this. I had no idea a ESP32 board with built-in PoE existed. I've been using a PoE to micro-USB adapter to power a ESP board. While it works, the adapter just doesn't look very clean when mounted on wall.
Why would JSON Schema not work here? Both languages have libraries to emit/parse.
The premise is wrong.

Well, it's not wrong, its just that it's premised on the definition of 'literature' being 'high brow writing for the elite' in the sense of something that can be dissected and analyzed for the sole purpose of revealing something about the human condition. It's true that computer program code is not that kind of literature and no fine arts major is likely to ever write a graduate-level thesis on it expounding the symbolic allusions to the Christian Bible and how it represents society's fear of death and desire for sex.

Source code is, however, literature in the sense that it is written for people to read. Not for computers to read. People. Sometimes other people, often the original author at a later date, but people nevertheless. By definition, that makes it literature.
Because it's a service to us that makes the site more valuable. I have exactly zero interest in spending my time here deciding what is or isn't propaganda. I deeply appreciate "some arbitrary authority" providing that hard and mostly thankless service to me. Even if I miss a few things that I wouldn't consider to be spam / abuse / propaganda but which they did, that is a tiny price to pay for having a place to come read things that is mostly free of all that crap.
WhatsApp is used all over Europe and Latin America. Very easy to check. For example [1].

I'm sorry you don't agree with a conclusion that is based on facts just because your country is different. Still the facts are facts. At 50km/h -city limit in most of EU- EVs are louder.

I'm pro EVs so please stop reading things into what I said that I didn't actually say. I specifically said the problem is the tyres.
I use Firefox for nearly everything, but I need to keep a Chrome window open because Gmail and Google Meet will max out my CPU and barely work in Firefox. Google properties are literally the only sites where I experience this issue.

Does anybody know technical details about why this is the case? The anti-competitive incentives for them doing this are obvious, but I imagine that there must be some technical explanation that makes for a plausible excuse. Something like them using Chrome only APIs with slow polyfills on other browsers?
Iger wasn't sure about the purchase of ESPN in the first place, and we can see why.

The story is really about how the internet has done a lot of damage to sports television, and sports media in general. Basically everyone covering sports has had to make significant cuts. When the value of ads drop, it doesn't take very long for gambling ads to be the most profitable. This isn't just an American story either: European sports media is also going all in on gambling.

If the pushes for ties with gambling get regulated to oblivion (and they might), ultimately what we'll see is that sports league's viewership rights will not keep going up forever, as they seem to have gone for decades. This is ultimately why this whole gambling deal happens: Today, it's really hard to make a good profit from the sports content, given the current subscription revenue, and how many ads you can really subject people to.

For those of us that wish for less gambling, I am not necessarily optimistic though: See also how the market of videogames that rely on gambling mechanics with real money pouring in for every roll are larger than the entire traditional videogame console market...and that includes sports games which are already relying on a whole lot of booster pack opening revenue.
Makes sense. I feel similarly about the constant ads for beer and terrible food during sports broadcasts.
I just see one page that's basically an FAQ/basic information. Am I missing something?
> fiduciary duty to maximize the share price

This is simply not true. They have duties to the shareholders and the best interests of the company, which is not the same thing as maximizing the share price.
> it gives you different answers to the same question

Sometimes answer is wrong and then right.

If it is deterministic, then what if gets "stuck" on wrong answer?
What do you suggest instead? Because without UBI or redistribution of profit when everything is automated, I don't see any other solution.
That's hardly new. Disney has been making and distributing R-rated films under their Touchstone studio since the '80s.
I don't understand how Fanatics is still in business. I've heard good things about Fanatics products literally never. I still remember the Overwatch League merch where they shipped people black jerseys with black lettering. When people complained, since it was white lettering on black material in the photo, they were told they only printed black letters and it couldn't be changed. Wild.
I like to think this is the parent company for Prestige Worldwide.
It's actually the opposite. In many cases corporate welfare is simply relaxing government taxes.

Governments understand that their taxes are barriers to the jobs and goods they want so they are willing to selectively get out of the way.

It's not a free market, but libertarian treatment for specific companies that they want to succeed.

In this case, nobody wants to build batteries in Canada if the government takes 25% of any profits, so the government has to reduce their take if they want battery factories
That's a decent point, but I'm not sure if it's outweighed by the ability for users to discuss and validate the disallowed sources.
Unfortunately I cannot read the article -- do the fines really go towards the victims of excessive speed (the negative externalities, like in a trust fund) or to the state general fund + company providing the hardware and software?
Can you post the URL instead if it's content from a website? (URL and title only)
And on macOS, Safari beats the pants off of Chrome by an even larger margin.
Are there any good examples on "source available" startups, where the software can be run on-prem, can be easily modified/forked by the customer, but has a commerical license? (Thinking docker desktop style: free for companies with less than X customers, monthly flat license for > X employees)
Any payment system will be used to track and unmask users. Then they'll double dip selling your even better identified user data to whoever wants it. Probably while still showing you ads.

You can slowdown bots with proof of work. A crypto-miner seems like the only possible payment method that would resist tracking, I think Brave tried something similar. Not sure I like that idea!
Haha, the US government? Maybe some state insurance commissioners, but the American regulatory apparatus is mostly captured. The natural result of allowing corporations to buy politicians under the hilariously stupid pretext that it is "free speech."
Hi, are you not finding qualified candidates on HN? You have been posting the API Architect role for the past 6 months:

I think abstraction is key to efficiency. In order to have efficient systems we need to be able to prove properties of the software we write are correct with regards to our specifications. This is what abstractions do for us: they enable us to think in new semantic layers that are precise in the mathematical sense.

This isn’t my idea, I just agree wholeheartedly with Conal Eliot.

Resiliency is what we get when we want reliable systems but we cut corners with proving the correctness of the software we write: we add process supervisors, memory managers, tooling, exception handlers, etc: things that all cost us some efficiency in order to make our systems reliable enough to be useful.

If we want efficiency, at scale, we need tools (languages really) that allow us to write proofs and generate code from these specifications.
I think a good number of us here, myself included, fell for this trap at some point. It appeals to the "simple solutions" part of our brains and is very black/white thinking. Thankfully most of us grew out of it, others... well yeah.

You'd think after all the engineering that went into Java they would solve it to allow arbitrary directories and such.

I don't know why, but this bothers me for some reason. To the point that I (perhaps irrationally, I admit) couldn't get "into" learning the language.

Same deal with $GOPATH in Go, until vendoring became properly supported I just hated it.
That's fine, but bluetooth is not a small thing. I'm not sure that emphasizing those other things can make up for that.

If I brought this up at a party, everyone I know would be down to dunk on this guy with me because we all understand that the actual anti-social behavior is this insane book where someone spilled 200 pages of ink to beat off founders.

'literature' is something written by people for people. That's exactly what a computer program is.
I'm a heavy Bill Simmons podcast listener as well as with other podcasts on the Ringer Network. I had only head music by Taylor Swift sporadically in the past.

Those podcast discussions about Swift in the last several years have heightened my awareness of her music. I'm not particularly a fan but I now stream each new release.

I think media publicity benefits both sides. And my experience of the world is slightly bigger as well.
No need for me to define anything. The research is from Denmark where, like most of EU cities, the city limit is 50km/h.

I have never lived in any city with anything else than 50km/h being the limit and closely to the average.
I'm sure human's "biology" has changed over the last 50 years. Those skinny doufusses from the 70's with their intake restriction diets had it all wrong. /s

> Eric Blair (George Orwell) was not a supporter of communism

Orwell fought for the POUM militias during the Spanish civil war. The POUM was a communist party opposed to the CPE - Communist Party of Spain (the CPE was part of the Comintern - that's an organization in faraway Moscow)

I think that Orwell identified with the politics of the POUM, from reading 'Homage to Catalonia' (also he could have joined an anarchist militia instead)

Now POUM was actually bigger than the CPE, until it was suppressed by the CPE and the NKVD (Soviet secret police, later renamed into KGB)

It is often very difficult for old established frameworks, libraries to move to new/improved ways of programing language. Besides usual reason of downstream breakage, technical challenge, timing etc, critically, they reflect project founders' self-image. So most projects found it more worthwhile to justify current choices at any cost rather than try new things with open mind.

Hashi got really good at ignoring PRs if they weren't their own. They even ignored the PRs coming from the dev teams of their own customers (ie users of TF Cloud and Enterprise) which speaks volumes about their willingness to listen to the community...
Seriously? Barriers to entry are massive. The insurance lobby is not going to just let their cash cow get "disrupted." Unlike those middle class taxi drivers that got obliterated by Uber, the healthcare industrial complex has a massive war chest and plenty of political clout.

Because gambling is a normalized, built-in part of sports broadcasts. There's no mention of age limits, addiction, drawbacks, etc. I watch the UFC and it's not even a commercial but part of the actual show. Odds, favorites, sponsor messages, etc. are built right into the broadcast.

I don't think gambling is the worst thing out there but it's not a net plus for society and overall cheapens sports.
Payouts to begin soon in $500M iPhone batterygate lawsuit
"Unfortunately, it’s far too late for you to file a claim as part of the lawsuit. The deadline for doing so was October 6, 2020. Yes, it’s taken this long for the case to finally come to a close and for those payments to begin. Anyone who owned an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, or iPhone SE was eligible to submit a claim."
Origin of characteristic brain waves in disorders of consciousness
I'm fascinated with the Dave Portnoy angle to all this. He wasn't a good "fit" at Penn, but he drove billions in sales for them - which helped them parlay into the Disney deal. He got paid $500m for his company a few years back and now buys it back for $1. There's still a lot of "strings attached", like Penn gets 50% of proceeds in a future sale... but he's already claimed he wont be selling.

So is he a winner or a loser in all of this? I suppose it depends on how you value your "freedom" in exchange for millions of dollars.
NYC may in fact be polite, from their perspective.

In NYC, there's always too much going on. The critical thing people lack is time. So they interact in ways that don't waste time. That may be being polite... in context.
How does free speech infringe on other's rights?

If you include spam, well that's not speech, usually not even by humans. Spam is a form of censorship by [D]DoS.

If you include threats, well that's an action, not speech, and it's illegal, because of the action.
"Astroturfing"... lol OK. I don't think I've ever made it a secret that I worked for HashiCorp in the early days (leaving in 2017), and have been critical to the point of being banned by the CEO from speaking at HashiConf.

Saying "Terraform doesn't have a test suite" is not miscommunication, it is misinformation, plain and simple - the same as most of the other things I have been correcting this week (not least from the same poster in this thread - someone who's clearly has an axe to grind).
Safari is faster than either across almost all dimensions, lighter on battery, nicer UI, better standards support generally than FF and even matches chrome for what I care about. It’s the clear best browser imo.
Somehow they managed to have a huge market share when Microsoft was fighting tooth and nail in courts and out to tell people to use IE, and Microsoft WAS home computers.
> Gambling is at the heart of the modern mobile gaming industry

Gambling is at the heart of the entire global financial system. Everyone with RobinHood, a brokerage account, a 401(k) or pension participates in the great roulette wheel known as the Stock Market. We're all placing bets--just on MSFT or AAPL instead of 14 and 29. Or our retirement account is putting it on Red. Some of us here are putting it in their startups, but at the end of the day, it all boils down to wagering money on unknown future events, which is the definition of gambling.
>It really feels like everything is trying to nickel and dime you guys over there.

NYT may have more reach and definitely isn't neutral, but it's a far cry from the nonsense that Breitbart publishes. It's nakedly partisan.
My last attempt to switch back to non-Apple laptops was a fully loaded XPS 15 right around the time I wasn't willing to commit to an M1. I was excited to get back to a dedicated GPU and the vapor chamber cooling design allegedly worked very well and the screen was supposed to be better than Apple's. I'd definitely put it up there with the worst purchases I've made. As you mentioned, the vapor chamber does nothing. Even at idle the laptop was HOT. For some reason the combination of Microsoft / OEMs still cannot make a laptop which just sleeps when you close the lid. Throw the laptop in a bag and when you get to your destination and the laptop is literally too hot to touch because it's been doing something in there the entire time despite being closed. That fantastic screen was also completely ruined by Windows / Dell drivers and software. Dark scenes, which HDR is supposed to excel at instead were crushed down to muddled greys with heavy banding. That's not a laptop I would have kept if it cost me $500, never mind close to $4k.
If I had to pick one ATCQ track that satisfies the condition, I'd pick "Jazz (We've Got)" which has a couple of samples from "Green Dolphin Street" plus the drums from "Don't Change Your Love".
Whether this really drives the industry overall would be a separate study, though. For one, this was conducted before federal legalization, in which case the lottery and charity bingo were probably the most accessible legal forms of gambling to most people who didn't regularly travel to Las Vegas. Those are inherently poor person forms of gambling. So whether this is still true we don't know. Maybe more importantly, the volume of individuals being larger in poor neighborhood doesn't necessarily mean the volume of money is larger. Phil Mickelson was just alleged to have bet over a billion dollars over the past 30 years. Assuming something like an average of a hundred thousand is enough to be "problem gambling" for poorer people over the span of 30 years, he matched 10,000 of them just by himself. It raises the question of whether gambling is a whale-driven industry or not.
Please do, I would be interested.
Afrika Bambaataa undeniably played a significant role in the early days of hip hop, but his sound hasn't influenced the genre for over three decades. If we start discrediting half a century of art based on the actions of a single individual, we'll be left with very little. Should we consider techno and all its offshoots invalid because of Derrick May's sexual assaults? Write off rock as art because Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old cousin? Invalidate punk because Sid Vicious killed his gf? No serious fan of hip hop stopped listening because of this.
That's not very actionable advice. I've found this article [0] from Terence Tao very insightful:

[A]ctual solutions to a major problem tend to be arrived at by a process more like the following (often involving several mathematicians over a period of years or decades, with many of the intermediate steps described here being significant publishable papers in their own right):

1. Isolate a toy model case x of major problem X.
2. Solve model case x using method A.
3. Try using method A to solve the full problem X.
4. This does not succeed, but method A can be extended to handle a few more model cases of X, such as x’ and x”.
5. Eventually, it is realised that method A relies crucially on a property P being true; this property is known for x, x’, and x”, thus explaining the current progress so far.
6. Conjecture that P is true for all instances of problem X.
7. Discover a family of counterexamples y, y’, y”, … to this conjecture. This shows that either method A has to be adapted to avoid reliance on P, or that a new method is needed.
8. Take the simplest counterexample y in this family, and try to prove X for this special case. Meanwhile, try to see whether method A can work in the absence of P.
