I used to use Sailfish too, and it was fun at the time. But its messaging capabilities felt like they'd stagnated and it's never gotten support for things like group texting, which has only gotten more common in the years since: https://together.jolla.com/question/75552/messaging-applicat...

I would gladly switch back to a Linux phone if it had reasonable battery life and good support for the modern assortment of at least the open messaging protocols. (Obviously things like Discord are out of the question, but SMS/XMPP/Matrix?)

Is it just me or does anyone else hate .env files? They accumulate unused cruft, it's not typed, and typically many systems in the same repo point at the same .env file. It all feels so ... implicit ... I guess.

For example in a code base I work in, docker-compose uses it, laravel picks up the same file and Vue / webpack does too. It's a big mess. There must be better solutions out there.

Nano is pretty decent for that reason and I definitely wouldn't grumble at having to use it for tiny tasks like a few lines of config file. Including nano (or any editor) inside cattle doesn't seem like it should be necessary, though. If you can open a shell then you should be able to use tramp or something similar.
I agree with summary. When I first wanted to tackle a hard problem I thought to reach for fine-tuning with lots of input and output pairs, but it wasn't needed.

Past few shot and RAG, you can overcome context window limits if you find ways to break a single request into many, each with specific context and then roll them up somehow. This can help get past context window limits.

Claude 2 has a large context window, but if you are actually giving that much in prompt examples, to cover tricky edge cases, I've found its better to break things down into multiple steps.

And if you can break things up that way, and costs isn't at issue, GPT-4, with lots of few shot examples, and chain of thought seems to give me the best results.

Yep. I am also very unclear that some of the sticks being wielded towards replacing existing ICE stock with new electric cars make sense. Sure my 7 year old petrol car is polluting, but building a brand new electric car to replace it is pretty horrible for the environment too?
That's ridiculous. The cables are harvested by independent contractors who wholesale them on auction at regional fairs. They are then binned into lots by middlemen who on sell to exporters, who on-sell to importers who distribute the cables to distributors. The distributors then supply retail B2B to cabling companies who in turn are subcontracted by the ISP's you mentioned.

That is why natural fibre optic cables are so expensive these days.
Mildly amusing joke, but, as sibling pointed out, different lineage.
Dawn of everything is exquisitely quoted, everything has a source and a sound argument, like if Graeber really expected these people to go after him.

Now, about the 'anarchism', I don't feel that at all. He simply is having a non euro-western centric viewpoint, and that's precisely the underlying theme of the book. Most of the time he chooses to highlight a source that has largely been ignored by the academics, for not being European or maintaining the status quo. So he is actually the only one not ignoring contrary evidence.

If the other anthropologists want a good refutation, I welcome their books with their own explanations and analysis of these anthropological findings.
Interesting! Do you know of any countries that use the underscore? I believe I've seen France(...?) use spaces as a separator, but I've never come across the underscore.

Personally I would like some means of breaking up units of triplets that could be used universally. It's frustrating that there isn't a standard across the globe for such crucial means of expression. It wasn't until fairly recently that I learned that the comma wasn't the universal standard.

Despite some success, job corps have a violent history and poor track record and rampant corruption. Look it up, it's not hard to find. They don't have a very good reputation in the job employment market either. Locally, the factories teach employees welding as does the community college trade program, the latter is not free but very attainable for all ages. There are much better and more efficient ways to train youth than free tax dollars out of somebody elses pocket.
The Tube Map
This. It has to do with the window of time that the attacker could access the session. If a service is meant to be used, says, once every 3 months, setting the session expiry to 7 days would make the usable attack window 7/90 = 7.8%. However, if the expiry is infinite, the hacker could just access the session any time.

It's also much easier to obtain an active session token than to configure a tool that obtains the token of the future logins.

Perhaps it doesn't matter that much if the service is meant to be logged in all the times tho.
Continuation-passing transforms are very common in compilers. There used to be debates about whether it's better/worse than static single-assignment (SSA), but they later turned out to be formally equivalent :)

The lack of tail-calls in "mainstream" systems (i.e. the ones I get paid to use) is certainly very frustrating. Functional programming ideas are getting more popular, but some of them can be hampered by lack of tail-calls (e.g. using abstractions like Monad is reasonably common in Scala; but naive implementations will cause stack overflows due to the JVM's lack of tail-calls).

Hygenic macros and algebraic effects aren't common in existing languages (although the latter is often provided by libraries; again, I've noticed this creeping into the Scala world), but I've noticed that many (possibly even most) new programming languages have one or both of these. Indeed, regarding algebraic effects: about 10-15 years ago it was common to see languages created for algebraic effects (i.e. someone wanted algebraic effects, so they made a language which has them); whilst these days it's common to see languages "default" to algebraic effects (i.e. someone wants to explore an idea, so they make a language for that; their language does I/O using algebraic effects, because what else are they gonna do‽). I see that as a sort of consensus, that those are the "correct" way to go; if backwards-compatibility isn't an issue.

"Delimited control" is definitely mainstream. Unfortunately most languages seem to implement some weak, ad-hoc form (try/throw, async/await, for/yield, early return); then later have to add more; then more; rather than just implementing the full thing to begin with (e.g. shift/reset, or equivalent).
You conveniently missed off the lines of text above that which explain what "doing this" is:

getmicro can use update-alternatives to register micro as a system text editor.
For example, this will allow `crontab -e` open the cron file with micro.

To enable this feature, define the GETMICRO_REGISTER variable or use the URL
`https://getmic.ro/r`.

Note that you must install micro to a directory accessible to all users when doing this...

Yes, if you want to install `micro` as a system text editor, something you can do (but don't have to), you need privs.

Again, so?

> having the education/degree does not help you correlate the day to day work in the field with what you learned

I also agree with that. The vast majority just aren't interested or did the minimum to pass classes, without really absorbing it.

What I disagree with is the self-taught correlation. The people who can do what you describe overwhelming are academically curious and have degrees.

> maybe getting the degree isn't necessarily the best path

I think you'll find a similar pattern in all fields. I think what's more in question is the ability of education to transform ingrained aptitudes and interests.
Good thought. Racket does this and more, for a long time.

For the "more": you can do it not only for other dialects of the same language, but also for very different languages. And often to make them interoperable between languages.

(For one simple example, long ago I made a fairly simple `#lang sicp` that translates the old dialect of MIT Scheme used by the SICP book, to Racket, using some simple syntax transformation and the module system.)
ummm, isn't that what job corps is?

When making a trade, being early is the same as being wrong [1]. You are right, the writing has been on the wall that eventually, the real estate pyramid scheme Chinese wealth is built on was going to crumble (the zeitgeist was that real estate was the path to wealth vs capital markets or other asset classes, and it was until it wasn't).

Abbreviated commands are fine for manual interaction, but a good engineer puts the full commands into source code for discoverability and specificity. If I saw a teammate putting abbreviated commands into source code, I would ask them to change it to the full commands, and I would feel entitled to.

Also, how would we know if no one has died from this? The practice of abbreviating commands literally makes forensics more difficult to accomplish, making it harder to know.
This example hurt my brain a little.

The Party had been quite worried about how much bullshit and useless information can be conveyed through short-form video, and wanted to be sure that if kids were going to be addicted to it, they might as well learn something useful.
This post really highlights how much of the development in London is infill into already existing Victorian (or earlier) neighbourhoods and how the city is growing without sprawling outwards. The Victorians built the Metropolitan line out almost all the way to Aylesbury anticipating that the city would follow but it really hasn't. When you take the tube to zone 9 you start to go past horses and cows in fields. There are some really nice walks in the Chiltern hills starting from Chesham and Amersham and you don't feel like you're in London at all.

It's often not that simple. As a concrete example, I think Golang made a giant mistake with 'nil interfaces' ( e.g. https://go.dev/tour/methods/12 ) which can lead to extremely confusing and weird code ( e.g. https://go.dev/play/p/Qk1g9tSwQcw ).

So let's assume there was wide spread consensus that it's a terrible idea and it should work like every other programming language. There is really no obvious way to simply "convert to the new syntax"? And trying to have "go with nil interfaces" library interact with "go with normal type system" would be it's own can of worms.

Like in this case, the only realistic path I could see would be you deprecate it, then you start warning, and then in like 10 years or something you fully remove it?

I recently finished Chelsea Manning's Readme.txt and I thought it was great. The themes are about two different types of "trans." Transparency in government and trans rights. I think both topics typically attract different audiences but the book was a fascinating look at both. And if you have interest in both definitely worth checking out.

While it wasn't the primary purpose, I also really enjoyed it from a personal perspective to Manning's upbringing. I have not seen the unique dynamic of growing up in a digitally connected America captured as well as it was in this book. The feeling of immense loneliness in real life but a deep connectedness online resonated very strongly with me.
> An informal group evolved the language through revisions known as RnRS (a mathematical pun with a reference to Algol hidden in it),

In case anyone else is wondering what the pun was in the name R^nRS. I didn't manage to find anything on google (may have used the wrong keywords), but GPT powered phind.com does manage to find an answer:

> The pun in RnRS, in reference to Algol, is a play on words involving the names of the two programming languages, Scheme and Algol. RnRS stands for "Revised^n Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme", where n is the version number of the report.

> The pun is a reference to the Algol programming language, which stands for "Algorithmic Language". The naming of Scheme's standards as RnRS is a nod to the "Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language Algol 60", which was the standard defining the Algol 60 programming language.

> The hidden pun is in the "Revised^n" part of RnRS. In mathematics, "^" is an operator that denotes exponentiation. So "Revised^n" could be interpreted as "Revised Revised ... Revised", with the word "Revised" repeated n times. This is a playful way of indicating that the language Scheme has been revised multiple times, similar to how Algol was revised to create Algol 60

I couldn't find any direct quote linking the two so I though it was interesting that it still managed to find the link. All I did was paste the quote into the search engine and ask "What's the pun?".
Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes "Faster" mode gets confused, especially if you are requesting information from (in this case) a Spanish-speaking area. That has a fairly simple solution that will be implemented if I continue working on the project (though unfortunately it looks like there might not be enough interest to justify it), but for now, you can:

(a) use "slower but smarter" mode, or
(b) simply re-send the request (It'll often get it right the second time), or
(c) be explicit in the preferences that you want your recommendations in English

Did you find it useful? Sort of useful but not really enough to actually use it?
Ah, fellow HN'er, let me don my virtual fedora for this one.

You know, back in the day when I was tinkering with my Raspberry Pi-powered weather station and feeding its data to my neural net model (for fun, of course), I stumbled upon this very question. Now, while many might be quick to jump on the bandwagon and claim definitive answers, let's break it down in true HN fashion.

The sun, our local star and the MVP of the solar system, undoubtedly plays a significant role in driving our planet's climate system. It's the ultimate powerhouse and gives our Earth the much-needed warmth. So, yes, on a fundamental level, the sun dictates our weather patterns. However, when you refer to the 'sun cycle' - I assume you're pointing towards the solar cycle, or more specifically the 11-year sunspot cycle.

Now, here's where it gets interesting! These sunspots and solar flares can influence the amount of solar radiation hitting Earth. While this variation isn't massive in the grand scheme, it can indeed cause some subtle effects on our climate. Some studies suggest there's a correlation between solar cycles and certain climate phenomena. Remember the Maunder Minimum in the late 17th century when sunspots were scarcely observed and Europe had a mini ice age? Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.

But let's not forget: Earth's weather is a highly complex system influenced by a multitude of factors. While our sun and its cycles play a part, there are a myriad of other players on the field – ocean currents, greenhouse gas concentrations, volcanic eruptions, and even you and me with our ever-increasing carbon footprints.

To wrap it up: Yes, the sun cycle does have an effect, but it's just one piece of the gargantuan jigsaw puzzle that is Earth's climate. And, as always, correlation doesn't always mean causation. But hey, it's a fascinating topic for a weekend hack project, isn't it?
