> You are meant to press Ctrl with your right hand when you press C-x.

I've been using Emacs for several years now, and I think the real solution is to turn Caps Lock into another Ctrl.

The right Ctrl key is in a very uncomfortable position whether I press it with my pinky or with the base of my hand, so in practice I basically never use it. The left Ctrl key is not as bad, but it's still not comfortable if I need to press it often. Caps Lock, however, only requires a slight adjustment of my left pinky finger to press. Simultaneously pressing x with my left ring finger is slightly weird, but not uncomfortable. There are some other keys on the left side that don't really comfortably combine with left Ctrl or Caps Lock, but I don't run into them often enough for it to be a problem.

I think the distance in our way of thinking is too great for a HN thread.

I see your argument and admit the possibility that you are right. I just want to point out that you are not only struggling to see how it sounds logic to me, you are struggling to see how this sounds logical to a vast number of people, including policymakers. The fact that very few countries in the world adopt a liberal view on any and all drugs should tell you that even if there is truth to what you are proposing, implementation will likely be very, very slow and difficult.
I think in "approximately 4000 nautical miles apart", as I quoted above, the "nautical miles" means ... nautical miles? IDK what else to say to make it clearer.

Object pooling is typically not a common pattern in Java these days outside of HFT stuff, and even in those cases it’s often not performance, but determinism that’s the issue. (Connection pooling is still common as with other expensive objects, just not plain object pooling.) Java’s garbage collectors are excellent if you cut with the grain.
Looks great! Really nicely illustrated!
I wonder how this interplays with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_orphans_controversy (church institutions refused to return children they sheltered to their parents post war because the church had baptised them).
> If anyone from Github is reading this -- I strongly suggest adding a banner or modal dialogue to warn users about the backdoor in this tool, and any other software with a known backdoor (e.g. forks of the project)

Ask HN: Why was Square down for 13 hours?
According to `issquareup.com` there was a 13 hour outage yesterday - many API endpoints returned 500 errors, locking customers out of their POS and ecommerce sites.

It seems unlikely Square is going to post a full postmortem, but does anyone have an inside scoop on what engineering at Square is like now and how they could have a half-day outage with almost no communication?
I disagree entirely. I regularly name specific people from "git blame" in bug reports calling out unethical behavior.

Just because you got a paycheck for it doesn't suddenly make the behavior ethical.
You are confusing hierarchy with „social function“. You are describing humans as having different social functions. You are not describing that someone is above someone or a group makes the decision on basis of beeing above others.
I suspect the lack of Go in Yakuza or Clubhouse has more to do with the computational complexity of providing a decent computer opponent to play against.
> Well, unemployment is kind of a requirement of capitalism. You can't have the labor force calling the shots, it eats into profits.

This is internally conflicting. Profits is the required thing it seems - not unemployment.
> Both are implying that new entries in a series should stick closely to previous entries. I don’t think being “unfaithful” or changing certain details is wrong if it’s necessary to tell a different story or provide a new experience.

Telling a different story that's consistent with the established lore is fine. Dedicated fans get annoyed when established lore breaks; especially when it's something important.

And about writing original stories: I'm all for it! That's not what's happening though, is it? They use the original work as a platform to tell their lame/modified stories or spread some political message (bait&switch the audience basically).

A more honest thing to do would be to put into credits something like "Original stories (loosely) based on {series title}". Then at least people would go in with the correct expectations, and maybe even be pleasantly surprised by the semi-original story.

> are you really going to defend how developers make essentially the same Call of Duty and Halo over and over again and sell it for $60?

Isn't this happening with TV shows and films recently, though? They're all the same cookie cutter TV shows with nearly identical ensemble of characters and the plots look like someone just filled out the same rigid story template.

> I can see how my wording there could lead to misunderstanding, but still, I thought it was clear based on context what I meant.

Right. Sorry then; it wasn't clear to me what you meant. We agree, then, I think. But the point you tried to make is even muddier now. I know you're not saying JK Rowling wrote seven Philosopher Stones, but I'm not sure what you mean. I sure everyone understands it's normal for stories to evolve over the course of a series?
Well, a murderer is just having an experience and moving their body, right? So obviously there are restrictions in the case where one’s internal experiences lead to actions that affect others. Even for actions like suicide there are negative externalities. Hence the need for regulation.

I read the Guardian pretty often and I don't really see "basic spelling errors" in articles very often.

I've only seen obvious errors in live coverage (the feeds that get updated in real time). It's more understandable there because it's often somebody in the field writing about something as it happens.
Nobody wants to be hacked by a random kid from their parent’s basement. It’s kind of embarrassing. It’s nicer to just say that we are being attacked by a nation state. “It’s understandable, nobody could resist such force!”
Not sure why you are getting downvoted, I think this is exactly the issue I'm seeing.

Sure that would solve it, but the issue is that this will never happen.

People will never stop doing objectionable things for money.

You won't even be able to get enough people to agree that there is a problem that needs solving.

> With your workflow I have to split my branch into three branches, retroactively. That's fiddlier than just turning the commits on my branch into three commits.

It really isn't. Branches are just as cheap as commits. It's super easy to create three branches pointing at three arbitrary commits.
This is a bit tangential, but I think there are ways to increase the value of this project. And please, don't take this the wrong way. I'm trying to make a constructive suggestion (to the maintainers).

Why not present it as a library with a sensible API and a directory of example uses. Including an example of a single binary, minimalistic server that has a very simple, minimal interface allowing you to submit documents and review the results? Or even a command line utility that takes a document as input and spits out the result on stdout or a file?

Imagine how much more immediate the experience would be if you can just fetch a binary and run it on the command line. Or how much easier it would be for people who might want to make use of this in, say, a blogging platform, if you could show them a 10-20 line example of how to make use of this as a library in your own code.

If you provide people with a smooth path for bot adoption and extension, the chance of people engaging positively increases. When I'm presented with this project the core problem this solves gets lost in all the pomp and circumstance involved in running it.
Yeah, elpaca is pretty good, it was made by the author of blimpy mode.
Summary: Unpredictably, and too-often quite badly. ~90,000 additional Americans did not die of cardiovascular disease from March 2020 to March 2022 because COVID-19 was "only a respiratory disease". And plenty of those "extra" deaths were in younger people, and/or people with zero other cardiovascular risk factors.

Good to know: Relatively few heart attacks, even major ones, "look" like Hollywood's silver screen stereotype. For both my father (long pre-COVID) and one of my best friends (2022, with ~zero non-COVID risk factors), the "obvious" symptoms of major heart attacks were intestinal - both were convinced that they'd gotten food poisoning. Hindsight: In metabolic terms, digesting food is hard work. Their intestinal symptoms were "load shedding" - their bodies dumping food that their suddenly-weaker hearts no longer had the capacity to support the digestion of.

Spelling/grammar:

> Elixir is functional language

It's A functional language.

> before-hand

> They don’t deal with failure or anything like that but in functional life there are many cases where this just becomes much more readable

I would rewrite that entire sentence to "They don’t deal with failures or anything like that but in a functional life there are many cases where this becomes more readable"

> that don’t feel like normal Elixir code. Odds are you are

Should not be a period I think, but a comma.
I noticed that too!

I’ve met people who were addicted to both LSD and MDMA. One guy took LSD for a year straight. Decriminalization is a step in the right direction but where’s the support structure? California probably has the most drug problems in the states and mushrooms are not going to cause anymore problems. The other piece for support and therapy needs to improve. Alcohol is included as well as legal marijuana.

List comprehensions read like math which we know from school. Do notation reads like Haskell which is fine but less accessible to non-Haskellers. Fmap is somewhat less convenient for slightly more complex examples such as

Depending on the circumstances, absolutely. Assuming that serious unjustified injury or death would occur if they failed to act, there should be some legal window in which they’re allowed to prevent the harm. Private companies (and individuals) should not be required to stand by helplessly while people are hurt.

Indeed, legally, private individuals and companies are allowed to act in emergencies. For example, I generally should not break into my neighbor’s home. However, I am legally allowed (and morally obligated) to forcibly enter their residence if their house is on fire, or they’re being attacked by a burglar, etc. and I am able to prevent some of the harm.

Of course, if we assume we’re talking about situations where the government needs a warrant, the legality becomes more complicated. At what point does something become an emergency? I would say it’s not an emergency if there is time to inform the government and to let the government prevent the injury. If we assume the government is unwilling or unable to act, then the window for action should expand by some measure.

AFAIK Android updates are not as fast as they could be due to need for mobile operators to re-certify every update as the OS blob contains modem firmware. Apple is able to update iOS faster because modem firmware is separate from the rest of iOS. Hence having open source drivers in the kernel will not improve the situation much.

Can institutions be "bad" at all? Is black lives matter bad because some people used it's institution money for their own private gain? I think that social institutions rarely are 'bad'. People can perform atrocious actions. They are using institutions for their own private gains. Can LGBT be "bad", or actions of individuals are bad?

I know that certain actions of certain people, or history can shed shadow for institution, but I am not convinced about how "good" have Church done, and how much "bad". It would be not easily quantifiable. It should not be also dependent on contemporary perception.

I am not sure if using world war 2 history does the topic justice. We look on it through rose tainted glasses of today. We do not know how it was. For example if you did not participate in it you could be in danger yourself. Please take a look at Franz Jägerstätter biography. For not taking Hitlers oath he was sentenced to death.

"Even Amsterdam"?

The Netherlands have been under the control of a conservative government for a long time now, and countless coffeshops have been forced to close under their rule. Banning magic mushrooms is just par for the course.

The Netherlands used to have a well-deserved reputation for tolerance, but that's been wearing away for decades now, with intolerance for everything from Muslim immigrants to drug users.

I say this with a heavy heart, as someone who absolutely loves the Netherlands for everything else it has to offer, and who used to be in awe of how tolerant and accepting they were.

There was a day when the Netherlands could be justly proud of leading the world in tolerance, but that time is over.
Reduced relative clauses should only be used when they do not compromise the clarity the sentence, which is not the case here. You can add a "that" or "which" or settle for only 5 "buffalo"

Show HN: ChatGPT Powered Code Analysis
I'm building an AI platform, FlowChai and found a neat use case for it today that I thought would be useful to HN readers.

I use GPT4 heavily for writing / editing code, but a major downside is that it doesn't know about new projects. I made the connection today that I could upload the zip file of a Github repo to FlowChai and then write prompts just like with ChatGPT with code questions. While the original intent for this platform is more around natural language, it's neat how this works so well. It's powered underneath by pgvector and OpenAI embeddings.
I agree Arrow by itself doesn't address any novel/fundamental OLTP challenges, but I'm not arguing that the thing which eventually supplants Postgres will succeed because of best-in-class OLTP performance - anyone needing that today is not choosing Postgres anyway (same as ever).

The real proposition is having a modern, general purpose workhorse underpinned by an ecosystem with strong network effects and polyglot APIs. Assuming analytical systems continue to gravitate towards Arrow I believe the OLTP world will be dragged along also.
Uhh, I think you mean legal criminal organizations. Which, you believe should be illegal.

I mean, maybe you meant illegal, in the sense that they are not always in clear legal status (e.g, NSA doing illegal things), but I think for the reader "legal criminal organizations" makes more sense to the point.

Another way to write it maybe would be "sanctioned criminal organizations" but that would be confusing with the secondary meaning of sanctioned. Oh language :(
Ask HN: Did Medium Mess Up?
Medium in its early days (2013, 2014) was such a great place to be. It had so many high quality articles from publications like Matter, War in Boring and other publishers.

It was akin to Hacker Hews. But since around the 2016 to now, Medium was populated with so much motivational crack ([insert billionaire here] are morning people, X books to read).

And the high quality, long form essays where where people wrote about things that I actually regarded interesting were drowned in this motivational crack articles.

Does anyone else have this feeling about medium?

What other negative things made you dislike medium?

I know there is still room for someone to execute on long form essay publications and do it right. And I think it would have Todo with something like Medium in its early days.
