To keep the rules simple (i.e. people shouldn't need to learn Lisp to write the source input) I don't want context to determine what `(foo :bar baz)` means.

With the current two rules, the symbol after any `(` is always the tagname. There are no exceptions based on context. The input `(foo (bar baz))` has meaning `<foo><bar>baz</bar></foo>`.

This meant I needed a different way to indicate attributes. I used the ':', resulting in needing a way to specify the optional attribute value, so I used the '='.

I still have to decide on a few more things, so I'm still considering changing the way attributes are specified, but I don't think I will ever make it contextual.
In Spain there's no institutional pressure, but peer pressure. I'm expected to have children and pay +1/2 of my income in rent, have little savings, etc.

I'm pretty much an average spaniard in financial terms.

Climate change frightens me too.

I mean, If I had children I would have fear for their future and I would be completely ruined financially.

But it seems this is completely incomprehensible to older generations that wonder why youngster complain about getting hands in their pocket trough rent, pensions, debt, etc.
I know taxes are complicated, but can someone explain how a complete loss today is financially better than a smaller loss* over a longer period?

* or possibly a profit, but no one will ever know.

We had a go-live delayed because the sponsoring executive needed to demo the app to a board member, and would not do it until the UI showed the full greeting of “Prof. Dr. xxxx”. We had to shoehorn that into the data model at the last minute.

Back in the early 90s, of course the Unix wars were raging hotly. It was posited as a legal strategy by SCO attorneys, that if some developer for BSD had read Unix source code at any point, they would thereby become "Mentally Contaminated" and unable to perform clean-room development of the freely-licensed BSD systems.

https://www.paulaoki.com/.admin/930108.oppose.html

So some of us thought this was a hilarious concept, and some joker printed up tons of mugs, tee shirts, and baseball caps which read MENTALLY CONTAMINATED, and they sold them at the Usenix conferences for a while. It was good for a laugh.
I agree that moderation policies are important. But I think it's missing a point to decide that "A social network with bad moderation policies" is therefore not a social network.

Easy comparison: Mastadon has distributed identity, and localized management of moderation. Is this sufficient that we should deem it "not a social network"? I think not.

I think there was no real consensus in USENET towards the appropriate degree of moderation, rather several standing waves of opinion. All the species of technically simple moderation patterns were present there: A species of subscriber,
or every message approved (basically only a radically small set of approved posters) and so on. Since some of the newsgroups are functionally archives of mailing lists, there's a whole additional universe of moderation techniques applied "upstream".
Well, YOShInOn thought this article had an 83% chance of having a large discussion and I agreed and that was one reason I posted it (it was in the "people want to talk about this" queue, scored just 9% on "will get upvoted" model (the model for which is not so reliable), and just barely missed the "I think you will like this" queue at 47%.)

Pluses of this article are that it is factual and not inflammatory.

Minuses are that someone could say (as you're suggesting) that it is not really "news" in that it does not represent a major change in the situation and doesn't go into a lot of depth.

"Inflammatory" is a model I'd like to develop but looking at 5000 inflammatory posts on a weekend will not be good for my mental health. ("big discussion" unfortunately often means "inflammatory")

A "really news" or "duplicate" model is my holy grail, the most sources I add to YOShInOn the more articles I get for a given event. I have a a model for that but it not aggressive enough at removing duplicates but I'm afraid if I increase the sensitivity it will get more false positives.
It seems like post war japan and south korea saw a lot of investment into their manufacturing. Why didn’t the philippines see a similar level of investment at the time considering it was also destroyed and in need for rebuilding? Not destroyed enough relative to the firebombings of the japan home islands perhaps?
The US provided a lot of support, which South Korea used well. But, several other countries got similar levels of support and achieved nothing...the corrupt leaders sold the country on the cheap.
"Rules for thee, but not for me" is not a consistent policy. Especially when the "rules for thee" bit is twisted wildly out of shape to resemble nothing beyond a schoolyard bully's lies.

Haha. It opens with "Remote work is hands down one of the most desirable benefits an employer can offer." Rest of the article is full of biases.

Yeah, I guess what I meant is that forcing one connection to swap back and forth at some interval would make it 1:1 on "average" over a longer period of time, but it seems presumptuous to think that would perform better, since the cost of having to re-establish a connection each time and then potentially communicate any "state" that would be needed to resume from whatever context was being executed before doesn't seem like a good tradeoff (not to mention the huge increase in complexity of the logic the client would need to have to handle this).

If the web was your kitchen...

It's like some mornings you wake up and your toaster decides it's going to try and be a washing machine, which is kind of annoying when you just wanted some toast. But it's not about what you want, it's about what the toaster wants.

It's easier if you remember it's not your kitchen, lower your expectations, or just stop easting toast, breakfast is overrated anyway.

> Anything that makes content can be used for vague general propaganda/lobbying, but impacting product-decision in a specific way?

A/B testing and tracking metrics on user behavior is a very mature practice in the industry. Some types of cases and behaviors might be hard to track, but then really obvious ones (like Jan 6) also stand out.

High profile universities like Stanford built behavioral design labs backed by millions in funding to advance our understanding of how to influence behavior through technology. This is a massive commercial research space with huge money on the line. We can’t ignore that.
If that's your definition of corruption then it is not possible for a non-corrupt person to get elected in the U.S. since the Citizens United decision. So on that view, calling a politician corrupt is vacuous.

My definition of corruption is someone who uses the power of their elected position to enrich themselves personally. And no, I see no evidence that Biden has done that.
People have been making this facetious argument since Docker launched a decade ago, it's even more ridiculous to make it now. My job would very literally be harder and take much longer to accomplish things without the benefits of containers.

How do you fly?

I had a friend with a single letter first name and the booking forms would never accept it, so he would add another couple of letters, but then at the airport he would be fucked because his ticket never matched his ID.

I can't say enough nice things about UTM. Especially if you've ever tried using QEMU manually, you'll appreciate how much heavy lifting UTM is doing for you. (It's basically impossible to run QEMU "correctly" on macOS. It randomly crashes, issues non-existent instructions, or freezes in IO for seconds at a time, all of which are problems UTM doesn't have.)

Yes, I imagine there are fancier commercial VMs out there, but UTM is free and open source, and it works great. (I'm not a light user, either, I use it for Linux kernel work, and never had any cause to complain.)

Joe Biden has no control over his adult son.

Hunter Biden clearly was engaging in shenanigans based off of his father's name (the board membership was technically legal, morally unpalatable). There's no evidence that Joe actually sold his influence directly.

Virtually all Biden supporters agree that if Hunter did illegal acts he should face trial and resulting consequences, and the same for his father. But we also agree that such rigor be applied across the aisle. Perhaps I'm out of touch, but I am not aware of any such agreement on the other side.

Again, it's almost like they don't care about the crime, only in smearing their political rivals. But the party of law and order wouldn't do that, right?

The suppression of the laptop story was trying to tamp down a political ops maneuver (an October surprise). I can understand the frustration in seeing that happen, as it worked so well when they did the same thing to HRC in the prior election.

There's a reason why the phrase "buttery males" exists -- for this is the exact same "buttery males" playbook: all that matters is that the story exists and is damaging and voters will lap it up.

Disclaimer: I voted for the current president but I'm not a member of his party and am strongly anti-partisan.
> But understand that modern CPUs have hyperthreading, meaning more than one independent thread of execution.
I know. But spinning up threads in an infinite loop is going to get code running on all threads (and indeed, that can be confirmed on `htop`). Also, not all CPUs have hyperthreading: the apple M1 chip (which is indeed my CPU) does not have support for that.

> Oh! You did measure something. Battery use and temp.
So I didn't do any scientific measurements, but the temperature difference doesn't seem to be very significant.

> It's a disaster.
But cooperative scheduling isn't any better. In fact, it's even worse! Since if an app doesn't yield (and let's face it, no app is perfect), you can easily get a deadlock. Developing for such a system without a VM sounds like a nightmare too to be honest.

> Some kind of management of such irresponsible threads is definitely a good idea.
What kind of managment do you propose? I mean, if there is nothing else running on the system, it's probably okay to just let them keep running (it's not like they are harming anything except battery life, and you might want something that can max all cpu cores, like if you are running a compilation or a video game).
You'd think a 45 year old handheld LED blip only game would be boring and broken. We took this one apart and it was in remarkably good shape, and was still fun to play.

> Do you have your own hardware, or do you run it in the cloud

Running two AI-based startups. We use GPU compute from "everywhere possible" including cloud and on-prem. Cloud is a combo of auto-scaling clusters with spot instances (GKE, EKS, etc.).

Have done some proofs of concept on serverless (runpod, modal), but they are very unpredictable in terms of latency and scalability.

How do we make it all work? K8s is the magic. The auto-scaling cloud clusters and the local cloud clusters all just look like k8s endpoints.

The configs are deployed with basic k8s yaml + jinja2, but helm is an option (we're trying to keep it simple.)

Aggressive lock-in and positioning their conglomerate's holdings to be blocks to conducting normal activity in society via any competitor.

How about I flood your whole city with robotaxi cars and make it cost a nickel a mile, but you must be an X account holder, must use the X app, must pay in X-coin, and must submit to whatever other perverse encapsulation Lord Musk decides to implement. How about I only carry X-related data over my global net of satellites, forcing most connected people to buy from my ISP, must pay in X-coin but it also only costs 20 bucks a month. On and on, it seems pretty transparent to me.

It's all a furious and cynical land-grab in preparation for a very dystopian future.
Significant crop failures will cause prices to rise, which will enable the wider use of refrigerated storage, fertilizer, new crop varietals, desalinated water, greenhouses, etc. This will bring supply and demand back into balance at a higher price.

The higher price for food will cause millions of deaths, an impact comparable to COVID or to the Ukraine and Ethiopian wars combined. It will pale in comparison to the impact of WW2, the black plague or the Chinese cultural revolution.
If your currency is not universal, then you have to produce stuff that people wants. India may not necessarily export enough to Russia for them to justify holding so much rupees.
True. However bullwhip effects are real as well. An undamped population explosion/collapse cycle is natural and stable, however it is far from ideal.

A 0.7 fertility rate is tiny. Keep in mind that fertility rate is measured per-female. So the per-capita rate is .35. If this holds, it means that the next generation will be 65% smaller than the current. This will inevitably lead to an overcorrection followed by a period of unsustainable population growth again.
> It really isn’t hard to move those tech jobs abroad

It isn't? They've been trying their hardest since the late 90's, and have never been able to make it work. They'd love to pay $1.00/hour for programming work in Bangladesh like they do for textile manufacturing, but as of a quarter-way through the 21st century, they haven't been able to.
> You speak as if the "general concept of race/ethnicity" was identical in every country – it isn't. There are significant differences between how "race/ethnicity" is understood in Australia, and how it is understood in the US-to speak of just two countries. Do you understand those differences?

Are you or are you not the one who misunderstood that distinction when you responded to my post using an American understanding of the phrase "skin color" (note the American spelling)?

The political conversations on HN aren't deep. Actually, they're very superficial.

I am not saying that it has always been perfectly implemented, right leaning politicians have been guilty in myriad ways of censorship over the years. But the ideal that we define as a culture is what I stated, and if we all agree that's what we want then we can work every day towards the ideal. It has been the ideal since the founding of the United States in 1776.

I know this to be true because my parents and grandparents told me that that is what their generation valued, and what they thought the definition of free speech should be.

If the majority of the people in a culture decide that they care about free speech then the minority of censorious bad people in power can be overcome.

How do you think the left got the power they have today? By being allowed to write whatever they want in opinion columns, make movies that insult corrupt politicians, write plays about evil industrial fat cats poisoning the water supply, marching through the streets with megaphones dissenting to war mongers.

Now we are saying it's okay to silence these people as long as we label them as "harmful" or "bigots" in some way. Even being anti-war is now somehow becoming associated with the alt-right taboo people that must not be talked about.

What we are seeing now is a generation of people who do not share the ideal of free speech, and are okay with censorship and an ingroup/outgroup by default.
The same thing you would do when someone threatens your life and the safety and security of your family. Defend yourself and your family.

$70 mil is not what IBM would consider a large contract. Certainly not large enough to risk actions like kickbacks. Now if it was $700mil, then maybe.
Not a cyber attack, but the way it's described makes it seem like an attack vector. (Inject bad safety data, let the cascade take it all down?)
I'm not in SK but in the US. I decided long ago to not have children (I'm a man) along with my wife. Maybe we'll change our mind one day, but more than likely it won't.

I honestly just don't think its my responsibility to contribute to some "greater good" of continuing to populate the earth. Humans survived just fine when the population of the Earth was half the size of now.

This is extremely selfish and probably not seen in a good light, but since I don't have children nor do I plan to, I honestly don't really care that much what happens after I pass when it comes to the population, etc. Not to be mistaken though, while I live I won't try to actively make things worse for anybody.
> Is it "false and misleading" to say that (say) Joe Biden is corrupt?

The post your replying to says "the most corrupt American history", and links to and article about someone saying that.

Is there corruption? Almost certainly. Is there the "most in American history"? I seriously doubt it.
Wait until you see what climate change does with continued carbon emissions!

But this has always been the problem with stopping climate change.

We are choosing between lesser, but certain immediate pain vs larger but less certain future pain.

In the 1880s we could have easily stopped climate changed, but been forced to slow growth. The pain would have been minimal for those living, but the probability of extreme catastrophe seemed remote so nothing was done.

As we move forward the probability of extreme catastrophe becomes more certain, but so too does the immediately pain.
