Might be closer to the “Google” strategy, as Google also faced significant litigation with image search and publishers did a ton to shut down their large investment in Google Books. Moreover, Uber flaunted their non-compliance in contrast to sama testifying before Congress and trying to initiate regulatory capture early.

There’s undeniably similar amounts of greed, although TK seems to genuinely enjoy being a bully versus sama is more of a futurist.
I still maintain that "The AWK Programming Language" [1] is one of, if not the best programming language book I've read so far.

It's short and to the point, has good examples, and cuts most of the usual fluff like "what is a variable?". Its base assumptions are: You know how to program, and you're here to learn AWK. Let's get to it.

I dearly wish there'd be more books like it for other languages.

The article references a study by J.D. Power, which runs every year or so. Hardly newsworthy.

What kind of argument is this? Shake Shack is one of the fastest growing fast food chains, yet they sell crappy, unhealthy food. Xiaomi arguably makes phones that aren't as good as Samsung or Apple, yet they are the fastest growing manufacturer.

New type of crime wave sweeps Oakland’s waterfront: ‘Pirates’
Wonderful talk, now I finally understand what WASI is.
Rust noob here so please be gentle - can someone explain why in `Vm<'a>` the lifetime is needed? I see that in tests, `Vm<'static>` gets created, presumably because there's nowhere to grab a better lifetime from? But if that's the case, would it be possible to express this in a different way? ISTM that Vm owns everything it needs, so is there a way to avoid bubbling the lifetime up?

Similar question applies to ClassManager - it already owns all the classes (they are in an arena), so it looks like a lifetime is needed because there's no way to say "things live as long as ClassManager lives" w/o introducing the lifetime at `ClassManager<'a>` level...

> The sine qua non of addiction is withdrawal symptoms, not compulsion.

This statement refutes the idea that social media or food can possibly be addictive, yet there's this body of research for both which asserts they can be. At best, this is splitting hairs over the definition of addiction. Assuming that Something can be addictive, a person might be "compelled" to act by their addiction to Something.
That doesn't work. I only found out about this because a user helpfully emailed hn@ycombinator.com.

How does this differ from the "umbrella chart" pattern? I am able to install my whole stack with a single call to `helm install`. I will admit the dependency handling (subchart naming), and enabling/disabling is a little clunky but it does have everything needed.

Those two are not like what grandparent is saying. Helm dependencies are native to helm like docker compose is native to docker. Kubectl apply a bunch of yaml files is like saying “run a bunch of docker files instead of docker compose” and argocd isn’t the same realm, that is a hosted solution that requires a remote k8s cluster. I guess you could run it locally but you would be making commits to a git repo for iteration which would be slow annoying and painful. It solves an entirely different problem set to this one, it’s not meant to solve local dev iteration loops.

The comparison of helm compose and helm dependencies is much more apples to apples as they essentially solve the exact same problem in similar way

What was the cause of death? Before you start ad hominem attacks, best to get your facts straight. Or maybe you are more concerned with outrage and tribalism than knowing what actually happened.

Food and water and medical attention were provided. Consent was obtained. Nobody was forced on the bus. Autopsy was inconclusive. This happened once in 30,000. Those are facts.

If the child died because she was put in an air-conditioned vehicle with food and water, then not much would have changed if she was to stay at the detainment facility where condition is just the same.

Here is a little-known fact you probably don't know: migrants choose which destination they want to go to, i.e. which bus they will board. Many of them took the bus voluntarily because they want to get to other cities for cheap and the bus is basically free. It is almost a public service for them. At the bus destination, often there will be arrangements to accommodate them, either by connecting them to their family, providing assistance, or routing to other destinations of their choice. Did you know that or you thought they were herded like cattle on a bus and dropped off in unknown locations that they know nothing about?
I don't know if they mention Code Llama but that has been a huge milestone. But from what I've heard it's still at least 15% behind GPT-4 for code. But open models are gaining ground.

Remember that Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie were part of the original Multics project, and the Unix name was a joke or more exactly a pun on the former.

I strongly believe that the non-existent of complicated file structures are actually by design not by chance by Unix authors, and perhaps at the time is mainly due to the limitation of the hardware. But since now we have computer with TB size of storage and RAM (that's not a typo), and apparently no OS after VMS copy the record and index file structure, it's probably a very bad idea. The fact that modern OS textbooks don't bother to cover them in details but only in passing mentions is really telling something.
We can appreciate that while simultaneously not appreciating that it creates a linked incentive for private attorneys to find people and convince them to claim they've been harmed and/or overstate the amount of harm, particularly in cases where it's difficult to ascertain whether any loss they have suffered is linked to the product or not.

Why Europe is a magnet for more Americans
Sure, it is possible, but it does put quite the limitation on possible contents. Means there were no metal objects. People tend not to put paper documents in time capsules for explicitly this reason. Moreso, they tend to not put _exclusively_ paper or easily disintegratable materials. The materials would also have to be quite small to slip out of those areas (even accounting for elastic deformation). Or needed to be quite fragile to be reduced to such a size.

Just as another explanation, if materials can get out, it is also simple for materials to get in. In the case of flooding, it is not unlikely that water mixed with dirt getting in and drying. This isn't inconsistent with the material that they pulled out. It will likely be impossible to know which the real answer is, but I'm not holding my breath. The joke seems like the easier explanation. Let's make sure that what we want to believe doesn't prevent us from accepting reasonable alternatives (this applies to both of us).

'Dune: Part 2' delayed to March 2024 due to Hollywood strikes
The "Hiring Fortran programmers is risky" argument is incorrect. This is, in fact, the whole point of Fortran, that anyone as dumb as a rock "would" (not "could" or "might") write performant code. There is currently no other language that can achieve this. Any other language claiming this capability is essentially recreating Fortran (perhaps with a slightly different syntax). Fortran Standard has been pursuing this sole goal for 70 years and has become extremely good at it.
Your argument applies very well to C++, though. But it's not too hard to catch a novice there, either.
Funds affect everything; from design, tooling, to sustainment and continual improvement. If you don't think so, look at the US military circa 1989 and circa 1999. While there were qualitative improvements in those 10 years, the 1999 US military was much weaker because of huge cuts in military spending, AKA the Peace Dividend.

Look at all the failed, truncated, or outright cancelled US military programs over the last 30 years. Crusader. Comanche. A-12. Seawolf. DDG-1000. B-2. F-22. EFV. GCV. These were all either shortsightedly gutted or cancelled when they didn't progress enough in development.

Developing military gear is very hard, even when you have the world's largest military budget. Now imagine doing it with 5% of that GDP. That's how small Russia's economy is compared to the US.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that Russia can't develop good weapon systems because their leader is a snot sucking wanna-be imperialist. They just can't develop AND produce them in the scale that they used to. Funds matter...

If the code that implements the automation resembles too closely copyrighted code it violates the rights of the creator. But who would know what happens behind corporate walls.
Yeah sometimes it becomes clear founders forget the purpose of a company is to make money/turn a profit and not just to repeatedly raise money and be famous. I have worked at a company that forgot this. It feels kind of surreal sometimes.

I'm one of those "kids these days" but did actually learn to program Perl at some point, and I generally prefer AWK. Perl is a large and complex language, I don't need it that often, and I'm not smart enough to keep remembering all of it.

Now, if I would get hired as a full-time Perl developer and spent 2 years developing Perl: it would perhaps be different. But that's not the case, and isn't for most people.

For better or worse, Perl sees a lot less usage than it once did; I rarely encounter it "in the wild" and don't even have it on my laptop because nothing needs it.
I have 2 degrees, and I do consider myself - for the most part - self-taught. The degrees offered mostly guidance and support, but ultimately it was what you made of it.

I find your approach arrogant; of course I understand that people die in car crashes and yet we continue to use them.

Your original point was:

>Yet there is zero momentum toward doing anything about those from a policy standpoint.

This is clearly false. There are many effective regulations and travelling by car continues to get safer.

Yes people still die, yes we already somewhat normalise people dying from e.g. air pollution (not something that will happen, we already do it)

There are people who do think about these things every day. There are people who dedicate life to working on problems and progress is being made.

Saying that a major event would have no impact on the zeitgiest is questionable given history.
How old are you?

Are you really so young that you've never had to make a decision in your life? Like, what to do with your money? Which goods to purchase? Whether or not Car X or Car Y is good / bad / shilled / whatever? Is school district X better or school district Y better, or is it just local FUD / fake crap? Investments is yet another decision for anyone who is trying to provide for themselves and/or their families, so the truth in stuff to invest into (or not invest into) is of high importance.

Do you not make decisions that affect you... or people you care about? I'm struggling to figure out how naive you are and what your background is.

If truth doesn't matter to you, so be it. I'm not here to convince you. But I'm still curious who you are and how you can get through life with this attitude.

There's a myriad of such choices I encounter on a daily basis, be it at work, at home, in my family, in the families of my friends and so forth. To see someone so disinterested in such details (and apparently ignorant of the importance of truth in these situations) is... intriguing to me.

------------

I decided that Lunacoin was a scam, as are many other cryptocoins. So I am safe.

My coworker, a close friend of mine, also agreed it was a scam. However, he didn't realize that Celsius was wrapped up in it. And therefore, lost $X0,000 to the situation. That's $X0,000 that his children will not be able to use through schooling, or for his next car or retirement.

He placed his trust in Celsisus and got overrun by the Terra/Lunacoin disaster, despite paying attention to it he was unable to predict the trajectory of that situation in time to save his money.

Those who found out the truth faster got their money out in time, before everything collapsed.

----------

I mean, I guess it hasn't really affected his life or my life. We all can afford a $X0,000 mistake here and there and not really sweat it. But it does change our purchase habits over the next few years to save back up and put our financial house back in order when these kinds of things happen.
>Do you read the news in any language other than English?

That's kind of a weird take... I'm not American at all.

I can't speak for all European countries, but in most it's kind of a basic anti-american cliché that they are so dumb that they believe in the grey alien coming with its anal probes. Most of the material about UFOs is directly translated.

There's some homegrown UFO, like the French 'Raël' [0], but I believe it's way more fringe in non-English speaking countries. Trying to find data I stumbled upon [1], which would be fairly consistent with the result of a meme propagated through culture.

One should be comparing with Operation Neptune, not Overlord.
There is old Flang, which motivated me to start LFortran. The new Flang, which presumably you are referring to, started possibly in the same month as LFortran, but we didn't know about each other.

It's best if you ask Flang developers what they see as the advantages of Flang over LFortran. From my biased perspective, LFortran can run interactively, it is fast to compile the compiler (30s on my laptop) and LFortran compiles your code very quickly (especially with our direct x64 or C backends). It runs in a browser: https://dev.lfortran.org/. We have many backends (LLVM, C, C++, Julia, WASM, x64). We plan to add Python and Fortran (the latter could be used to modernize your old Fortran code). It is easy to add new backends, and it is also easy to add new frontends, so we have LPython and LFortran as two thin frontends, to our intermediate representation that we call ASR (Abstract Semantic Representation). The internal design is simple, so a small team can develop LCompilers at a fast pace. New contributors without any prior compiler experience get up to speed very quickly (typically a few weeks or even less).

We are still in alpha, which means it is expected to break for your code (and when it does, please report all bugs!). To choose between them, I recommend to test them out and pick the one that you like the most, based on your criteria. Note that the most mature and widespread open source Fortran compiler is GFortran.
Here is what SOC2 means. I hope this allows more companies to offer GPT-4 to their employees.

From the first post in the series:

> I am very happy with what I have learned, about Rust and about how to implement a virtual machine. In particular, I am super happy about having implemented a real, working, garbage collector. It’s quite mediocre, but it’s mine and I love it. Given that I have achieved what I set out to do originally, I have decided to stop the project here. I know there are bugs, but I do not plan to fix them.

Toy projects are fine, but I just think this should be pointed out clearly that this is not a serious, ongoing project.
Has anyone tried those? Are they worse than normal cheap foam ones? I have never had any ear plugs that I feel is sufficient for gun shots.
Agreed, but who else can make that judgement? Certainly you can't accurately make blanket decisions for all children, right? Who is the last in line, the final judgement, then?

No one is saying parents should hand-hold and hurt their children by way of robbing them of essential experiences. What i am saying, though, is that parents are the last-mile. The only ones who are ultimately responsible.

It sounds like you're ignoring a very wide gulf between doing nothing and doing the homework for children. Kinda sounds like you advocate sink or swim style learning. Which works great for those who swim, perhaps. Less so for those who sink.

I've seen the term "submarine article" used to describe PR-encouraged articles. Practically, they're not "directing" news outlets but they are "informing" them in likely biased ways.
I had a quick look (the book can be borrowed on archive.org) and I'm not very enthusiastic about this book. It might serve as a first introduction to the topic, though IMHO it tries to cover a too broad range of topics including typical distributed systems stuff (e.g. the Byzantine generals problem). Almost $100 seems to be quite expensive for that book, though I know of the horrible inflation of textbook prices in the US.

My usual recommendation for students and practitioners interested in OS theory and internals with a solid practical connection is Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau's (University of Wisconsin-Madison) "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces".

The book is available for free as PDF from https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

Hi. You missed the opportunity to implement the reader as an AutoCloseable and do the get as a Reader method.

That way, classe users will be warned by the IDE that they should use a try-with-resources when acquiring a Reader.

For the sake of completeness here, Java compiler will warn about it, but that warning is disabled by default.
That's a separate issue. What I linked above is an opinion specifically on whether generated output is copyrightable.

There is no way of being apolitical. What many perceive as apolitical is simply supporting the status quo. And quite frankly, if the political fronts can agree on anything it is that the status quo sucks.

People don't feel the difference between importance and engagement.

Engagement is its own reward. People who feel engaged on a topic can reward themselves by simple repetition. They can skip the hard work of criticism, straight to the finish line.

Importance is the result of active filtering. What is it that must be filtered out? Engagement. Who would truly want to filter out their own rewards?

This is where we find a parallel with addiction: people who practice this short reward loop struggle to leave it, but people who don't practice tend to have an easy time avoiding the loop entirely.
