Locking the screen on my OSX machine

1) Turns off the display in 60 seconds or less. (I think it's more like 10 seconds or less, but I've stopped paying close attention to it, so I am no longer certain about the timing.)

2) Turns the display back on every single time I get a new notification, and turns it back off within a few seconds. Given that this machine is running the Work Messaging Client, that means that the display powers up and down very, very frequently.

So if this is the discoverable "turn off the display" feature that GP was talking about, it's not a fit replacement for the power button on the monitor.

> ...the biggest problem is that USER [API] is essentially inextensible. If a developer wants to create, say, a menu that acts exactly like the standard operating system menu but with some small extra feature (for example, he might want to support the drag and drop, similar to the Favorites menu in Internet Explorer) he generally has no option but to reinvent the entire menu system from scratch.

Seems like the failure of the Longhorn project really messed things up. It was suppose to replace the janky old win32 with .NET managed APIs.

I just remember XAML/WPF/.NET being incredibly slow. And choosing a managed language for OS stuff seemed bad. I can't believe no one was doing a quick POC and saying: this is too slow.

You have to give credit to Apple platform team. They have some real visionaries there. They had the guts to ignore garbage collection even when it was taking over the entire software industry. I guess MS just needed a competitor for Java.
I'm referring to a limitation I bumped into…

Let's say that I'm setting up a subdomain, like masked.mydomain.com, and then set a wildcard forwarding rule such that I get all email for *@masked.mydomain.com. Let's say that I subscribe to some service with a username like: blue.velvet9573@masked.mydomain.com

Receiving email on that subdomain is perfectly OK, the problem happens when you want to reply / send with such email addresses in “From”.

For it to work, “blue.velvet9573” should be an alias defined in the Google Workplace admin. Otherwise, even though Gmail is perfectly happy to accept any aliases, the issue is that emails won't get DKIM-signed unless that alias is an alias defined in Google Workplace. And you can only have 30 aliases per user.
General Relativity admits the concepts of wormholes (Einstein-Rosen bridges) and these are a nonlocal phenomenon. So it is incorrect to assert that quantum entanglement is the only nonlocal interaction or phenomenon. Both General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory seem to manifest a need for nonlocality and each theory expresses it with its own vocabulary (in terms of information and observation in the case of QFT, and with wormholes and multiple connectedness in the case of GR). That’s the kernel of truth in the famously hermetic pronouncement that “ER=EPR”.
No, that seems to be the prevailing viewpoint, which I find sad.

The appropriate thing to do is to point out the asymmetry and push back on the 6 month terms. In Germany if the standard is a 3 month notice period, then that is what you push back to.

Executive title, Australia, 4 weeks.
6 months is unusual in the UK. For the first two years it's not really enforceable anyway, since employers can dismiss you with 2 weeks of notice at any time - so an employee can effectively do the same.
Notice periods have been getting longer and longer. When I was younger, one month's notice was largely standard in the UK. As time has progressed, I noticed first very professional roles in Law and Accounting moving to three months, followed by other sectors. For the first time this year, I've spotted six-month notices popping up in different places.

Honestly, I think the government need to step in, as a six-month notice period seems like a restriction of liberty to me.
I agree, just only really because it's too colloquial/informal/spoken for an article imo, wouldn't be my choice. But not worth calling out, and certainly not for not making sense or seeming like a robot or ESL author wrote it.
6 months also means that would be the severance if laid off.

How will you study books or notes for homework, if they are at school? I admit that we had a lot of school books to carry when I was young and I occasionally got a sore neck from lugging them around, but I wouldn't call it especially unhealthy.

Typescript is mentioned as an example of function signature format.

As it needs to describe only valid json values, the whole language needs to operate on 6 underlying data types only - it's really not that complicated to come up with minimal readable format that's easy to parse.

It doesn't matter much if it reassembles ts, flow, ocaml or haskell - the point is it can fit into single screen, serve as documentation and be parseable for verification/codegen etc.
> So technically if you maintain Wine you are also maintaining all the libraries Wine depends on, and so on.

You are confirming that it is a good analogy. If some lib changes its ABI, in the wine case you need to fix it once: in wine. If you have 2000 Linux ports of games, you need to fix it 2000 times.

Your libao example is exactly the problem we currently have on Linux. Nothing is really stable, api and abi breakages happen almost everywhere. You can be careful and pick projects that promise to never break abi compat only to still get disappointed by at least one eventually.

And while win32 is not under your control regarding new features, it is by far the most stable userspace api and abi in existence.

Given:
1) How critical email is; and
2) Existing mandate of government postal services to guarantee delivery of physical mail to all citizens; that

Government postal services should run a national email service free to all citizens.

In the USA, email would be minimally covered by the same protective laws as physical mail (I don't know if the same protections are available in other countries).

IMAP and POP or a more appropriate mailbox protocol should be supported to allow retrieval of email, and online email size would be relatively small (say 100MB) but you could pay for larger storage like you would a post office box.
What a load of guff!

Let's say a power station fails unexpectedly. There are several options.

1) Wait until Parliament can reconvene to debate and pass a law which limits people to x kWh of electricity per day with a maximum of y kW at any moment.

2) Let people suffer rolling blackouts / brownouts as the energy supply struggles to keep up with demand.

3) Have a team of technical experts (the horror!!) send signals to people's washing machines asking them to only switch on when there's surplus power.

Quite obviously (1) is impractical. And (2) is the sort of self-sufficient Libertarian nonsense which imagines a hellscape for everyone except themselves. And (3) is... boringly pragmatic. I guess with the slight risk that it might be abused to... what? Deny people their constitutional right to run a high power vacuum cleaner whenever they want?

The network effect is obviously a big part of it, but it’s also that IRC is extremely barebones and difficult to use even for messages.

I’m quite a techy person and I even wrote my own frontend to Discord a while ago, but I’ve struggled with things like bouncers and authentication to the point where it’s just easier to set up a bridge to Discord and use that when I need to use IRC, and then I miss features like editing and profile pictures (there are proposals to add these things to IRCv3 but they aren’t widely supported)

I switched from Rails to Phoenix a few years ago and have never looked back. It solves basically all of the frustrations I had with Rails (see e.g. Peter Solnica's writing [0]) and is truly a joy to work with.

If anyone else is thinking of switching from Rails to Phoenix then I humbly recommend my course Phoenix on Rails (http://phoenixonrails.com/). Sorry for the self-promo, but if you use the code HIT8RUN (valid for the next 48 hours) then you can have a 10% discount.

So was the truncation attack already there in 1.1.1?

I think it's OK for a patch that changes the dependency to 3 to just retain existing behavior. Addressing the problematic behavior should be a distinct patch.
Entanglement is not a non-local interaction, it means that state of the system can not be separated into independent states of its constituents. That altering the state of one particle could non-locally influence the state of another particle far away is not really a mind-bending idea, pressing the power button on a remote control turning on the TV across the room is pretty much the same thing, at least to our human perception as we can not see the IR light and the speed of light is essentially infinite on a human scale.

But that is not how to think about entanglement properly, that is much more mind-bending. The remote control and the TV become a unit and only this unit has a state, neither the TV nor the remote control have an independent state of their own. Note that entanglement requires superposition, without it you can separate the state. The state power button not pressed and TV on can obviously be separated into independent states for both devices, but power button not pressed and TV off or power button pressed and TV on can not.

You could try to say the power button is pressed or not pressed and the TV is on or off, but that description would not account for the correlation that power button pressed implies TV off (and vice versa) and power button not pressed implies TV on (and vice versa).

The US legally is zero notice, but it's pretty standard to give 2 weeks. I would hope that if they require 6 months that they would also be required to pay for that 6 months even if they decide to fire you immediately.
Elixir-related stories hit the front page of HN several times per week. It seems to be a topic that the HN audience likes to upvote.
Even at that level, six months is generous. Three months, tops to ensure transition. One month is all that is required. It really depends on the status of the current work threads.
That’s like saying we shouldn’t wear seatbelts or have airbags and antilock brakes because you can still die in a crash.

If anything, that’s still underselling it: there are entire categories of bug which are widespread even in well-tested, heavily-fuzzed C codebases like Chrome but would not be likely or often possible in Rust.
I suspect that, if challenged, a judge would equate reasonable notice periods with the minimum-severance terms set in law, at least for employment that lasted only a few years. So the 6-months clauses you see are probably a bit like noncompetes: everybody knows they are not enforceable, but companies still enjoy the chilling effect they produce.

Charter-Disney Winners and Losers
I don't think that's fair.

The Everett interpretation is just taking the Schrödinger equations and not adding anything else to it.
The "interpretation" part is just about explaining how to make sense of what _we_ see and how to make that compatible with the Schrödinger equation. There is nothing mystic about it, quite the contrary I posit, the rejection of it requires the introduction of something anti-scientific, namely that we humans are somehow special and detached from the physical world
Hasn't it been proved as well that writing things out by hand is the most effective way to memorize things? Wouldn't all schools want to teach this valuable tool to students?
Wormholes are not non-local though. They continuously connect two regions of spacetime. It's not different than saying you can go from the south to north pole by passing through Paris or by passing through Beijing.

QFT is no more non-local than QM in general
So Musk has 40k people paying him a subscription without him providing any subscribers-only content or even asking for people to subscribe. How is that any kind of indication on the overall success of subscriptions or even news worthy?

I think we should have these people explain all of this to toddlers and let them give the thumbs up or thumbs down.
At AWS on my service we have lots of microservices (and I think we need them at our scale), but they also share a bunch of the same code. So one problem is reasoning about when your random java library gets merged into some component and it takes a while to wind its way through pipelines and then subtely breaks something unexpected. Take a lot of engineers to deal with this architecture and I certainly wouldn't recommend it for most folks. In fact, one of the slightly hilarious things is that we started out with microservices and end up combining them together because - guess what - when you are building systems level software you really need to make inline calls instead of network calls (without timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, and all the BS).

As a manager I really miss monorepos, postgres, and all the other simple stack stuff that makes developers super productive and IMO the work much more fun.
The most relevant uses of Zig that come to mind are:

- Bun, as you mentioned
- https://tigerbeetle.com/
- https://www.uber.com/en-IT/blog/bootstrapping-ubers-infrastr...

Plus a bunch of other companies (including some very big ones) and projects that use Zig here and there, eg AWS uses cargo-zigbuild https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime/blob/e2d5...

Zig also has a few other very promising OSS projects:

- https://github.com/riverwm/river (wayland compositor)
- https://github.com/ZigEmbeddedGroup/microzig (HAL for embedded development)
- https://machengine.org/ (truly cross-platform gamedev)
- https://github.com/michal-z/zig-gamedev (another serious gamedev toolkit)

Just off the top of my mind. Like for all things, you gotta get started somewhere and this is where we are at the moment.
Even if your measuring system interferes with the measurement, if the interference is small enough or diverse enough based on the conditions, you can still learn useful things.
I think there is something very different about handwriting than typing. Like, listen to a lecture and write notes on a pad, and then go to the lecture the next day and type them on a computer.

Then, wait a week, and take a test without reviewing anything.

My money, based on my experience, is on you better remembering the handwritten notes. I think this is because you cannot write as fast as you type, so you have to hear, think about what is important, and summarize when handwriting. When typing, you can get almost all the words someone says typed out. So you switch to "hear-to-type" mode without thinking.

So, I think it is important for learning to have that skill. I think it is better in the real world too, for some use cases. If I am in a meeting with a counterparty, I take hand written notes. I rarely look at the notes after. Why? I remember what we talked about.

I used to bring a computer and type out notes - and I still do if I need perfect information to reference later - but when I do that, my notes take the place of my memory.

It seems more efficient to handwrite my notes and have my memory be my memory instead.
That being said, the role is in Germany, where it is, to a limited degree, possible to sue for damages resulting from not honoring the notice period. It is also common to add an additional limited a priori damage value into the contract. Not legal advice. [1]

Anyhow, for anything below a managerial role I've never seen a company enforce those rules. They're mostly a deterrence, I suppose.

Eh, who knows what 'vetted for accuracy' means to this guy?

I mean, is Wikipedia allowed? What about Khan Academy, this Sal Khan guy doesn't hold even the lowest swedish teacher's qualification.
