The Le Guin story referred to at the end of the article is The Author of the Acacia Seeds. It can be easily found online. It's very brief yet poignant.

Rereading it now just threw me back to teenager me reading it, so many years ago, so far away from home.

I'm somewhat sad that it has remained in the realm of science fiction. But its message still rings true, and is relevant to the OP.

That's my own small message, to be found on this anthill here.

While the article and research states that majority of fraud comes from UPI (47.1%), it seems as though the fraud involves the victim voluntarily entering their pin to transfer funds to the perpetrator.[1]

Perhaps this could be a good time for UPI apps to educate their users on fraudulent transactions.

But a part of me thinks this is also trying to boost the credit/debit card industry which has slumped due to UPI's success. I just saw a VISA ad today showcasing their tap to pay feature, which is a strong contender to UPI.

That does not answer the question? 10.0.22621.900 seems to be the latest and 10.0 just a prefix for all of them.

As an example from https://superuser.com/questions/296020/windows-kernel-name-v... lists

> 6.1.7600.16385, 6.1.7600.16539, 6.1.7600.16617, 6.1.7600.16695, 6.1.7600.16792, 6.1.7600.20655, 6.1.7600.20738, 6.1.7600.20826, 6.1.7600.20941, 6.1.7601.17514, 6.1.7601.17592, 6.1.7601.21701

Are these all just 6.1? Or is 7601 a different version than 7600? Could I choose to stay on 7600 and get backports or do I have to switch to 7601?
Congratulations! There are lots of apps that will let you scan your collection and get valuations. ManaBox, Helvault, and Dragonshield are some I’ve used.

Selling a collection as a whole will likely get you 60-70% of market value, piecing it out will get you closer to 90 after shipping and fees. Sealed product of that wera has a much higher valuation being sealed. There’s not much left.

Of course, if you don’t want to sell, the apps will still let you track valuations and deltas.

Magic has recently had a downturn, retracing from 2020-2021 peaks )some might even call a bubble). Collectors for your era of cards are reaching peak purchasing power, though, so there likely won’t be a crash until they die off (if at all).

Everyone I know who exited said selling their early stuff has always been their biggest regret.
I learnt about it from the BBC News homepage, where it currently remains, but I know they show different front page stories based on location.

But yes, it's a nasty bit of overreach. What's annoying is all the people I see being vocal about it on Twitter are the alt-right or pro-Tory/Telegraph/Mail folks I wouldn't usually want to align with. I suspect the presence of Brand is key to them, and if a similar letter had been written targeting someone on the left, they would be quiet.

It's hard to have threads about topics when people just push their own other things into it.

I made a comment countering the idea that roads are from some sort of carspiracy, when they are just exceptionally useful, general-purpose ways of getting people and goods around, and have been for over 2000 years.

You then straw-manned that into only 5-lane highways. I can't see a good reason for you doing that, so I am assuming you're forcing the conversation into an argument of your own making that you can then feel justified in venting in. I could be wrong, but it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to make my point and not steer the conversation into any personal catharsis.
Pardon the cynicism but the US government is notorious for shipping money and "aid" overseas and then have no way of accounting for it, no way for proving it was used as intended by those it was intended for.

Not all languages are created equal though. When driving in the UK, I use the American English voice which gives more precise directions, like street names. The British English voice doesn't (just "turn left, turn right").

Cholesterol tests are common but the better test is to measure APOB. Something that’s not usually covered by insurance and many doctors don’t know about because it’s newer.

I noticed heart disease was called out as a co-morbidity to high cholesterol. A lot of cardiovascular disease is caused by excess LDL cholesterol.
Actually Apo B is a better predictor for cardiovascular risk (and, AFAIK, the actual thing that injuries your arterial wall): "Based on current research, Apolipoprotein B has emerged as the superior marker for assessing cardiovascular disease risk. LDL particle size also has quality evidence behind it, but as it’s a metric that’s not yet as standardized nor as strongly predictive as ApoB, ApoB remains a better assessment of heart health than LDL particle size alone."

At least in my experience it is all still the case today.

If you are dealing exclusively with documents I find MongoDB to be faster, better and easier to use. If my data model is hybrid or purely relational then I would use PostgreSQL.

After all these years I am still waiting for an horizontal scalability solution for PostgreSQL that is up to the level of a modern database. It's 2023 and for many of us in enterprise environments it's a mandatory NFR.

But it seems like you're not interested in a having an actual technical discussion.

Canonical volunteered to maintain LTS kernels within the community, but upstream refuses to accept Canonical's contributions - ironically because apparently they "don't work within the community". Source: https://lwn.net/Articles/608917/

Canonical maintained them anyway, though, just not officially. Sources: https://lwn.net/Articles/618862/ https://lwn.net/Articles/667925/ https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/15/538. I don't see more recent announcements; I don't know if they stopped because of continuous rejection of their community contributions from upstream, or if they are continuing anyway and I'm not aware.

Disclosure: I work for Canonical. I'm not authorised to speak for Canonical, expressed opinions here are my own. [Edit: I should add that I don't work on the kernel so I feel like I'm as much an outside observer as you probably are]. But I'm not sure I'm even expressing an opinion here - just citing some relevant, publicly verifiable facts.

Submission title is a bit confusing: “opt-in” means you have to opt-in, that is, the default is “off”. The sentence “opt-in by default” is the opposite of what I assume the poster meant.

This also looks like something that should be posted as a text submission with commentary - simply editorializing a link + title is discouraged in HN.
When you for example upgrade from windows 10 to 11, if your partitions are a mess it will shrink your main C partition to make room for a recovery partition at the end

No I mean, opening a terminal window with a program running in it. Pipe the command to the terminal when you run the terminal. I do this for TUI apps on my Sway desktop, just put some bash scripts with a single line in them, they're my shortcuts so I can run them from my menu.
If you interpret the start and end tags of the child elements as syntax indicating the type of each value, then those tags are analogous to, say, the quotes that enclose a string literal. In other words, in

<foo>hello</foo>
<foo>world</foo>

the <foo> and </foo> serve the same purpose as the double quotes in

"hello",
"world"

with the added benefit that the type system can be much richer (i.e. not everything is just a nondescript string value).

And you don’t even need a comma to separate the values! ;)
Fyne – cross-platform GUI toolkit in Go
Literary translation is a field where machines have already threatened creative thinking jobs. Already even some respectable publishers in various countries are machine-translating novels, giving them a light copyediting (not always a deep editing -- the industry has been cutting back on that for years) by someone who doesn't speak the source language, and selling them to the public. It is not that machine translation can already think so creatively, it is just that the cost savings are so great that human creativity is viewed as an unaffordable luxury and the market tolerates the quality hit.

It is known as the XML declaration. It is not specific to any particular organization or group but is a standard part of the XML format itself. This declaration serves several important purposes:

Version Information: It specifies the version of the XML standard being used. In this case, it's version 1.0, which is the most common version of XML.

Character Encoding: It specifies the character encoding being used in the document. In this case, it's UTF-8, which is a widely used encoding that can represent a vast range of characters from different languages and character sets.

Standards Compliance: It signals that the document adheres to the XML standard. This declaration helps parsers and software that process XML documents to interpret and handle the document correctly.

Interoperability: By including this declaration, creators of XML documents ensure that their documents can be correctly interpreted and processed by a wide range of XML tools, libraries, and parsers.

In essence, the XML declaration helps ensure that XML documents are self-describing and can be processed consistently by different software and systems. It's a crucial part of the XML standard and is included at the beginning of most XML documents to set the context for how the document should be handled.

Fortran is column-major and C is row-major. That difference alone makes vectorization in Fortran much much more frequently used.

> water being a human right

Fortran does not call by reference, and the term aliasing isn't used by the standard. It calls by what's usually called value-return or copy-in/copy-out, according to the "storage association" rules in the standard.

While it may be true that the rules aren't generally checked by compilers, Toolpack did it for pure Fortran77 in the 1980s, though I don't know how comprehensive it actually was.

> Then we need to find another way to generate fusion power, or admit that it's impossible to do on this planet.

Yes. Here are the currently known alternatives off the top of my head:

* Fusion bomb

* Inertial electrostatic confinement (14 year olds have done this for highschool science fair projects)

* Virtual cathodes (Polywell, technically also an IEC variant)

* Magnetic confinement (Tokamaks: the big expensive doughnuts)

* Field-reversed configuration (technically also magnetic, but these are magnetic "smoke rings", Helion Energy does this)

* Z-pinch (again magnetic, but different)

* Laser confinement (NIF)

* Muon-catalyzed fusion (no chance of this becoming mainstream unless we can convince muons to stop decaying)

IIRC all of these have demonstrated that it's physically possible; some even show promise.

(I've been wanting to write a plasma physics simulation to see if I can improve on the Fusor design since I was at university; now chatGPT writes acceptable code, I keep asking myself why I've not yet made this happen…)

Orphanim.ai Post Mortem – a dev diary
It took me days one time to figure out why 0 had adopted the value four.

The technicality is that Fortran is call by descriptor (not by reference, not by value). That's a powerful difference but a sharp two-edged sword.
In terms of being easier (for the programmer, not the compiler) one thing worth mentioning is that Fortran already has optimized intrinsics for matmul and dot_product. I was recently doing a small comparison between C and Fortran for matrix-vector multiplication and was surprised how fast the matmul is "out of the box" vs handwritten loops. Personally I also think that for code that is linear algebra heavy Fortran is easier to work with because of the intrinsics - it's analogous to numpy, whereas C takes more effort, mainly keeping track of sizes of things.

I’m referring to the dependency array you pass into hooks, and any hook being able to trigger updates.

With classes there was no manual dependency tracking (except comparing old props?) and all re-renders were triggered by state, context or prop changes.

Not making a judgement either way, just stating the trade-offs.
> Nigeria seems to do better in spite of those fertility rates you speak of.

Nigerian here; no we're not. Our economy is dismal and barely growing, yet the population is exploding. Poor (and I mean dirt-poor) people account for the majority of this population explosion, giving birth to offspring that'll face a lifetime of suffering.

I agree with the person you're replying to. African countries cause their own problems because they give birth to more people than their economic growth can cater to.

Here's a dire stat; Nigeria is currently about 224 million, and 63% are classified as "multidimensionally poor" [1]. Yet, we're expected to surpass China in population at year 2,100 [2].

How on earth do we expect those hundreds of millions more people to survive when we can't even take care of the ones we have? Answer is no one has a plan, but poorer people keep giving birth like flies and most of their offspring won't escape poverty. This is what sheer lack of education causes, coupled with excessive corruption that hinders economic growth.

Parallelism and Concurrency in Go: How It Works in Real Computing Systems
I don't like the argument that backdoors are bad because they could fall in the wrong hands. It implies that one would be fine with backdoors if they could be made perfectly secure. Backdoors are bad simply because the government should not spy on their own citizens en masse, and it will still be bad when hypothetically perfect surveillance tech is invented.

India suspends visas for Canadians as row escalates
I think what you're seeing here is a difference in age and general approach to programming. I learned how to program in the 70's and early 80's. Back then anything that didn't require punch cards and line editors was considered an amazing luxury. I never really grokked IDE's (though: TurboC and TurboC++ got pretty close on Windows) and I tend to remember the bits of a language and eco-system that I need.

Erlang was made by and for that generation, with the tools that were there at the time and so it 'speaks to me' in a way that I'm familiar with. Going on the assumption that you've learned to program a little later, by the time that eco systems were more fully featured, IDEs were commonplace and things like test libraries and namespaces were common I can totally understand why something like Erlang would leave you frustrated.

But to me it is a luxury and always will be. So long term, Elixir probably has the future, but that battle hardened foundation that it builds on stems from a different era, where reading the documentation was a prerequisite for doing anything with a system and all systems had their little quirks. Erlang's roots in turn are partially in Prolog, which is another one of those beasts of times long gone, it too is quirky and some of that shows through in Erlang and the way it approaches things.

In my experience it pays off to embrace such things rather than to fight them, then you can spend your time and energy far more productive rather than to let it be in the front of your focus while you're trying to get some work done. In the end it is all tools, and just like in the trades there are no bad tools.
