'Profits above all else' came primarily from three sources:
1) The 'Chicago School' emerging from the University of Chicago economics department, most active from the 1950's to the 1970's, and of which Milton Friedman was the exemplar;
2) The 'Powell Memo' that corporate lobbyist and later Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell wrote to the US Chamber of Commerce in 1971; and
3) The efforts of Robert Bork, who was a militant critic of antitrust regulation and believed that mergers and acquisitions were good because they always lowered prices for consumers, and led to the creation of greater shareholder wealth.
I think Indian gooseberries may be different. They’re green, slightly bitter, tannic and sour and the texture is like a raw apple (crisp, hard) and fibrous.

There is no Pareto optimal unicorn that provides both a democratized marketplace of software with low barriers to entry and an ironclad guarantee of security against compromise of personal user information. These two are fundamentally at odds. If anyone can produce and distribute software easily on a given platform, then so can people with malicious intent.

Thank you for the recommendation.
I will look into building my own tree sitter grammars using https://github.com/casouri/tree-sitter-module as you suggest.

Some time ago I followed this guide https://vxlabs.com/2022/06/12/typescript-development-with-em...
and added this to my .emacs

(use-package tree-sitter
:ensure t
:config
;; activate tree-sitter on any buffer containing code for which it has a parser available
(global-tree-sitter-mode)
;; you can easily see the difference tree-sitter-hl-mode makes for python, ts or tsx
;; by switching on and off
(add-hook 'tree-sitter-after-on-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode))

(use-package tree-sitter-langs
:ensure t
:after tree-sitter)

Regarding C++, I tried a simpler experiment starting emacs with

% open -n -a Emacs --args "-q"

and I think my C++ slowness issue is due to fontlock https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Fo...

Even without a startup file, I can't open https://github.com/ASDAlexander77/TypeScriptCompiler/blob/ma... and scroll through the file unless I also manually do

ESC : (global-font-lock-mode 0)

I'm sorry if I gave the impression I'm a regular C++ developer. I only use it occasionally. I just happened to remember finding myself unable to use Emacs for that particular file.
So, prior to this ruling, there were laws that the public couldn't get access to? I assume you could get them from magistrates and stuff though still, right? Or was it a complete lack of access?

Obviously online is still way preferred it just is crazy to me to think there was a law somewhere that you couldn't easily get the full text of. How the heck am I supposed to follow a law I can't read? lol

That's actually undesirable for any connectors. Having connectors on separate PCBs is standard practice and lets them flex a little.

Framework improves on that one more step because the adapters are on "rails", further minimizing the movement transferred to the actual USB-C port behind them.
I'm surprised no one has thrown in raw S-Expressions, yet, in this thread. That's an HN perennial favorite. Great at trees, decent at graphs. You can easily go Turing complete or not on the whim of any Lisp at hand and the hammer and forge of macros until your heart's content.

One of the best lines from the story:

"These four made it rain so hard it created a noticeable boom in the Portuguese economy."

Which highlights to issue with counterfeit money - its pretty easy to create, but then the hard part is laundering it.

It really isn't -- unless you're talking something like bzip2 or some extremely nontrivial thing.
That sucks. Almost 4 years ago I got hit by a layoff for the first time. When it happened I'd been in the industry 42 years. I spent 4 months on unemployment searching job sites and having mostly frustrating interactions with headhunters.

The thing I did which helped most was reaching out to my network as soon as it happened. I ended up with an offer and another company interested thanks to friends I'd worked with at previous jobs. If you've already notified friends, don't be shy about reminding them you're still out of work.
Sometimes unions make bad calls in individual situations, sure. But for all of the myriad of big issues that exist in public school systems, I don't see unions as being the fundamental source for system-wide issues. Here are some issues I identify:
- Money. Schools just often lack the financial resources they need to provide a robust and well-rounded education.
- Bureaucracy. Public schools are heavily regulated in complicated ways, from the local school board, to state education board, to federal laws. When changes need to happen, it can be hard to figure out how to change something, or to find people with enough energy and stubborness to push through the bureaucracy. I guess union contracts would be included in the web of bureaucracy, but it is my experience that teacher unions are just as often the vehicle with enough energy and experience to push for beneficial changes.
- Culture war nonsense. The education of our children is an emotional and sensitive issue for people, understandbly so. Unfortunately, public schools are becoming a battle ground for people to "fight" in whatever culture war issue is being roused up at the time (discussions on gender, critical race theory, book bans, prayer in schools, sexual education, military recruiters on campus, cops/school resource officers, take your pick). These issues have to be acknowledged and addresses, and it uses up real resources to do so. In the nastiest situations, individual school staff can be targeted and harassed, and in those cases it is very good to have a union to support staff.

There are specific local issues I'd like to provide as anecdotes, but it's local and newsworthy enough that my IRL identity would start to bleed into this online identity, which I try to keep pseudo-anonmyous. So I'll try to stick to generalities.

While I won't argue that unions get things right 100% of the time, and I would absolutely say that my child's education benefits from teachers having strong unions.
The algorithms described in the paper all perform input validation and transcode until the first encoding error or until end of input, whichever comes first. They also tell you how much of the input they transcoded, so it's indeed quite easy to call the transcode function and then to manually fix up errors if it chokes.

We had considered adding a variant that could automatically fix up malformed input, but as there are multiple mutually incompatible conventions for dealing with encoding errors, we decided to ignore this case for now. Perhaps a future version of simdutf may provide support for best-effort transcoding of errorneous input.
My understanding is the nasal spray version works, but the oral just gets metabolized ineffectively?

Hackers claim it only took a 10-minute phone call to shut down MGM Resorts
Absolutely. And all AI for music I have seen suffers that problem.

It makes me wonder whether the music generation should be stratified -- a coarse model lays out where parts like verse and chorus are, what distinguishes them, how to transition, etc., and then a finer-grained model fills in the details.
Why it isn’t production ready?
The outrage is warranted. Two things about this are poorly designed:

1) Charing for installs vs sales. Because installs are potentially a multiple of sales (and thus, revenue), this will make it extremely difficult to build accounting models for in advance of launch.

2) For the thousands and thousands of devs that decided to invest in learning Unity (vs Unreal or otherwise), many of them did so with the understanding that the business model would always offer a royalty free tier. This was asserted by the CEO! They've since raised (arguably) way too much private equity capital and now have to put the screws on their customer base.

While Unity has been slowly losing its focus (indie / mobile), Unreal has been executing better and better. If you're invested in Unity, it's time to strongly consider a switch.

As for Defender being any kind of protection, I have my doubts.

> it seems to be increasingly the case that package managers just don't have some software - or have a version that's years out of date.

This is entirely distro dependant, some are very up to date and have most things you'd want, especially if you include the likes of AUR in that. But then there's usually a Flatpak or an AppImage that you can use in the odd case that they don't.
This will provide decent privacy for most people against casual mass-surveilance. But you should not assume that it's anything like sufficient protection against these kinds of state-sponsored attacks.

Computers will continue to improve, but it's gonna be gradual which in itself can be incredible. I just bought my wife a tiny computer for $250 to play some old games via LAN together. The thing is ~1/4 the size of a mac Mini and faster than my old gamin PC from 10 years ago. Easy to cough at being faster than a 10 year old computer, but given the tiny size and cheap price, it's incredible! It's not as incredible as going from a bad camera in your phone to a camera good enough to not take a standalone camera on vacation, but amazing nonetheless. You only see it though if you actively take inventory of past improvements.

IMO, taking a look back and appreciating the sum of incremental improvements is something we should do much more of frequently in all areas of society and life.

I'm not underestimating the impact of the switch and I am as in favor of it now as I was years ago. All else being equal, I would go for the USB-C device every time.

The point I was trying to make was that an android phone having USB-C isn't the most important factor for the person who posted. This is evidenced by the fact that they purchased the iPhone anyway even though USB-C options existed.
I think you're getting worked up that I said Godot can't be used for console development, when I really just meant that it can't be used for console development _currently_. I noted that they were working on this in my original comment, and as your blog post shows, it's going well.

For posterity, here's Godot's post a year or so ago on the struggles they've had with console middleware over the years.

This arstechnica article is so much better than the kotaku article. First thing I see is the actual fee schedule. I spent the entire kotaku article wondering what the fees were.

Also, yeah, this just seems like an even better reason to learn the, seemingly vastly superior, Unreal Engine and use that.

Is there a reason people still use Unity other than familiarity? It's fine but I installed the most recent version a few weeks ago to find it's basically the exact same as the 2019 version I used a lot. Feels really outdated versus Unreal.

Agreed, wholeheartedly in fact. My (poorly articulated) point is that the solution is generally to be found in simplifying configuration, rather than in the configuration language itself. This is something that microservice architectures are actually pretty good at doing.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/680335/how-to-compi... claims that it's as simple as some tiny patching, and another answer links to a github repo of interest. The funny thing is, I really thought that version of Linux used a patched gcc, but maybe I'm misremembering.

First I've ever heard of it, and I went pretty deep into the rabbit hole of spectrum when I switched to LEDs in my home. Don't think this is very common knowledge.
Weird that his solution to this problem was to make a language where whitespace is significant (which makes it quite challenging to write) instead of just building a linter into Python.
The point is to avoid exactly that. If we can (mostly) agree that the state will punish someone sufficiently and appropriately, there's no need for vendettas.
It's the modern business Moloch trap. You've gotta either grow revenue or margins more or less continually (well, unless you hit the magic and basically impossible # for margins).

And revenue usually doesn't grow indefinitely, so...
Do we know if the phone was in lockdown mode? Anyone know how effective lockdown mode is in preventing most of these zero-days?
Wow, thank you for digging that up, I suspected there might be some gain there but from the abstract it looks like I was off by a massive amount in my naive estimate of what might be achievable.

"Theoretical analysis shows that XOR-Net
reduces one-third of the bit-wise operations compared with
traditional binary convolution, and up to 40% of the full-
precision operations compared with XNOR-Net. Experimental
results show that our XOR-Net binary convolution without
scaling factors achieves up to 135× speedup and consumes no
more than 0.8% energy compared with parallel full-precision
convolution."

The big question is whether or not the results are still as good. It would be super interesting to see whether applying this to LLMs would give comparable benefits.
Ads are communication. Are you saying that communication is evil?

I regularly see young and naive folks online saying things like "supporting your favorite creators by buying their product isn't capitalism", or "self-promotion isn't advertising". All that cognitive dissonance must really hurt.
Beyond its value as an art project (which this project seems to be), I’ve never understood the desire — let alone need — for custom emoji drawings for the official Unicode emojis. The OS already support these. You’re just reinventing the wheel.

It’s not licensing, otherwise the very font you’re looking at is illegal.

If it for some he idea that some novel emoji isn’t supported until someone updates; well, that’s like what? A couple of weeks every four years? Even then, that doesn’t explain why the basic smiley gets revamped, that’s over a decade old.

Consistency? Please. Your app is already inconsistent across platforms due to platform conventions, and you’ve made your app inconsistent with every other app.

In the end me, we’re left with one reason. Perhaps the most common reason why anything is done in big tech (and let’s be honest, that’s who the little people take their cues from), vanity.

Apple is the canonical design. Sure, maybe some OS needs a font, but there’s literally no reason X, or Facebook, or Samsung need their own font.
I think if you used the modern Unreal Engine you would change your tune.

Unity is planning to add a fee to all INSTALLS of a game. That includes demos, game pass, and even reinstalls. It's not a revenue share, it's a fee. You could potentially bankrupt a dev by repeatedly reinstalling. Or if streaming, just refresh 20 times. Insane shit
Getting rid of processes is in most industries far, far, far more difficult than you can imagine.

Most of the time you think you can get rid of the problem, it just means you don't understand what the "real problem" is. This is Chesterton's Fence in practice. Quite often when you have this 'silly process', it's about visibility into that process for auditing by others and ensuring legal compliance.

And for this reason it will always bet exponentially easier to provide a drop in replacement for a process then attempting to understand the system it exists in.
The alternative is for individuals to inflict suffering on each other, which is just vigilantism and mob violence.
> But the worst self checkout experience by far is McDonalds.

Not defending the kiosks, but at least you can use the app instead which is 1) straightforward, 2) earns points and gives you coupons, and 3) you can order a few minutes before you get there, so your food is already waiting for you once you arrive.
A "per sale" fee or something at least makes sense. Per install I don't get. A single sale can be multiple installs, and a flat fee may not match your income for that install.

Heck, what about webgl builds where it's often downloaded from scratch. Is each loading of the web page an "install"?

Could I bankrupt a dev by continuously re-installing their game on Steam?
