Yep, I was around for that shitshow with two laptops. Soldergate was annoying but to be honest there haven't been any similar issues at scale I'm aware of, as the issue was identified and fixed.
You can block domains you don't want to see results from. With that feature I'm not sure it even needs to deliver better results than Google to be compelling.
I don't have the knowledge or the patience to find out, but it would be interesting see the overall pattern of 1 day calls on Splunk stock to see if this was an outlier.

It’s wild to me how prevalent and yet how poorly understood dyscalculia is. It’s around 6% in the Caucasian population, which pretty much guarantees one kid has it in every classroom. And yet, there’s very little good info on what actually works when teaching affected kids (source: my daughter has it), especially compared to the enormous well oiled machine that swings into action when a kid is diagnosed with dyslexia. I get that dyslexia is worse because you have to be able to read to learn anything, but it’s frustrating.
Ok, who gets priority? Whose bridges get fixed first? Population centers? Rural places without a lot of traffic? Which states? What about the environmental considerations for the dams? Who gets the power generated?

This is what I mean by a "municipal handout" - this is a firehose of value, and the people you point it at will be enriched. The allocation of that value is not trivial, as everyone who holds USD is paying for the labor via inflation of the money supply.
Most people fine with the problems of the ecosystem have financial incentives.

Stating that you maintain 800 NPM libraries brings more clout and money than maintaining a foundational one.

Even with foundational packages things tend to go wrong. Why add features to an existing package if I can write several plugins? Or even worse in some cases: why use the existing configuration file if I can instead just ask users to install dozens of dummy packages that only exist to trigger a feature in my Core package?
Of possible interest to HNers, kinship terminology of different cultures is a subject that has a very elegant taxonomy. It was a major line of inquiry in early modern sociology, which tried to link other attributes of how societies were structured to how they named relations.

I've been a paying customer for more than a year, in my experience DDG is not even in the same league as Kagi. DDG provides a noticeably worse search experience than Google for most queries, whereas Kagi is either just as good or often better than Google.
It's also a pretty good subsidy to economy fliers.
Is there supposed to be some sort of "bougie" implication here? Because my sailboat was anything but - and indeed, most folks who live on sailboats full time (I no longer do, but I did) are riding around in quite modest vessels.

The point isn't "oh use another protocol". Gmail is billed as a full-on product, and especially, they push their web interface. This is them abandoning users. Sure, some folks will fall back to IMAP or POP. But at the end of the day, the company is taking a stance, much as you're taking a stance and I'm taking a stance and all opinionated actions are stances being taken that reflect our characters and values.
Your project sounds like something that definitely could come in handy. I forked it as a "bookmark". I particularly like the idea of storing the data in a local SQLite database. Not everything needs to be "web scale".
>I don't know if it's still the case (thanks to restrict and better compilers)

Nobody (really) uses restrict, certainly not at scale.

This is especially obvious because when Rust came along (which can effectively use restrict in most places, much like Fortran) it uncovered a lot of serious bugs in LLVM's implementation for restrict. That whole situation only really stabilized in the past year or so.

Maybe GCC does a better job as a result of having gfortran.
This project is really interesting. Nowadays, it's becoming less common to make a job more complex by doing it on the server instead of the client. I hope you keep working on it for a while, as I'm curious about its potential for business.
This is great news. I've been paying for a couple months now and I've been happy with the results and the previous limits weren't something I even needed to worry about in the end (I did worry at the start but only because I had no idea how many searches I do to gauge which plan I needed).

It was reported that Pavan Kumar Rai posted a hit on Nijjar on some deepweb website used to hire assassins.

Yep, yet another casualty of Congress's obsession with wasting money on SLS. Spending another $10B on an SLS upgrade that is still too rough of a ride for any payload is fine, but spending $1B on a lander is too much.

With Europa Clipper there was also the incident that Congress tried to write into law that it had to launch on SLS. The Clipper team were leaning towards using Falcon Heavy ($90M). In the end Congress only relented because the Clipper team said they'd need another $1B in funding (in addition to the $2B+ for an SLS launch itself) to make the delicate instruments on Clipper capable of withstanding the extremely rough ride that SLS offers.

So now Europa Clipper will be a Jupiter orbiter that does several flybys of Europa.
Right, but the point is that the hardware is still "meeting you halfway" to present the appearance of something which isn't actually happening. Those pointers in C aren't really "memory addresses" at all, they're keys in a key-value store managed by the hardware to preset the illusion of flat, contiguous memory, as mandated by the C programming model.

So maybe it's accurate to say that C is "more compatible" with real hardware, in the sense that its abstract machine is more isomorphic to what's really happening than Fortran's is. But it's not exactly "closer to hardware" in the way we might be tempted to think; it's more of a lingua franca that your processor happens to speak.

If you're still tempted to consider C "close to hardware", consider that you can compile the same code for a Z80 and a Threadripper. What hardware exactly are you controlling that's common to both?

Top notch comment, considering options trading is often described as "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller."

You don't come out ahead in the worst case – the option you wrote can settle deep ITM and you are compelled to sell a stock at a loss. Worst case you could lose a major chunk of change.

It's worth remembering though that Jeremy Clarkson is exactly the kind of person who first makes up their mind about something, and then looks for ways to "prove" it. I'd very much assume the initial pitch for the show described the message they want to portray, and then they filmed the show to tell that story. Scripted television isn't reality.
Ah ok no I don't have a Mac, I use FreeBSD :)

Can the search result quality be quantified somehow? I remember when Google was new, and I used to use Altavista and Hotbot and those older search engines, the difference in results were like night and day, and Google's results were "wow!"

You don’t just get to say “from first principles” and then put forward your obviously-American POV as some immovable basis from which everyone else should be arguing from.

Regulation routinely reduces cost. It’s all to do with the nature of the regulation. Only one party is incentivised to say trot out this “regulation is bad” BS and its businesses that want to operate in an ancap utopia because they weren’t lucky enough to make regulatory capture work for them. It’s always disappointing when individuals get swept up in believing this tripe.
Really? Why would they want to strangle their own families' food and medical resources?

And very imprecise. Virtually nobody gets it right when trying to describe a relationship with an nth cousin m times removed.
And recently I tried to work out a fairly basic relationship between myself and my son's step-sisters - they're not biologically related to me at all, or even by (current) marriage, but it seemed like there should be a term for it.

Some have heater that keeps it warm indefinitely. We had mechanical timer for that one in our old job.

Well, it was reason why it was installed, but what actually was used for is that we set up coffee to brew before leaving work and the timer turned it on right before people started coming to the office so we were welcomed by smell of fresh coffee
The parent is not criticising NPM the tool/registry, but rather the ecosystem and culture.
I think the same is true for Debian Linux.

Small and comes with a lot of packages that are only an "apt install" away.
I only install packages that I need an check that nothing else is running and/or has open ports.

Don't see this as a pro BSD argument.
> One of the fundamental problems is that many UI applications on Windows, Linux, and macOS call functions that are not specified to run in a bounded amount of time. Here’s a basic example: many applications don’t think twice about doing file IO in a UI event handler. That results in a tolerable amount of latency most of the time on standard disk drives but what if the file is stored on a network drive? It could take much longer than a second to service the file request. This will result in a temporarily hung application with the user not knowing what is happening. The network drive is operating correctly, the UI application isn’t.

Say what you will about JavaScript, but a great thing it's done for modern software is making async programming default and ergonomic. With most APIs, you couldn't block on IO if you tried. Which means web UIs never do
> "Do not repeat yourself" was seen as a gold standard for programming.

I remember this era. I’ve been using nodejs before npm existed and so many silly things have happened in that time.

I think the core problem the JS ecosystem has always had is that most JS developers are relatively inexperienced. (JS is very beginner friendly and this is the price we pay). I still vividly remember being at nodecamp in 2012 or something listening to someone tell me how great it would be if the entire OS was written in javascript. It didn’t matter how much I poked and prodded him, he couldn’t hear that it might not be an amazing idea. I think he thought it would be easier to reimplement an OS kernel in JS than it would be to just learn C. And there were lots of people around with a sparkle in their eye and those sort of wacky ideas - good or bad. It was fun and in hindsight a very silly time.

So yeah, of course some idiot in JS made is-even. And is-odd (which depends on is-even). I see all of this as the characteristic mistake of youth - that we go looking for overly simple rules about what is good and bad (JS good! C bad!) and then we make a mess. When we’re young we lack discernment about subtle questions. When is it better to pull in a library vs writing it yourself inline? When is JS a good or a bad idea? When should you add comments, or tests? And when do you leave them out?

Most of the best engineers I know made these sort of stupid philosophical mistakes when they were young. I certainly did. The JS ecosystem just suffers disproportionately from this kind of thing because so many packages in npm are written by relatively new developers.

I think that’s a good thing for our industry as a whole. But I also get it when Bryan Cantrill describes JS as the failed state of programming languages.
Even at the small end, it's hard to produce something that's even a bit popular and not have it cloned/ripped off/your chosen license violated. We have that issue with a number of our products, both open-source hobbyist stuff and non open source.
Looks like there's an open protocol and an open source client implementation for video calls. https://github.com/vector-im/element-call

This is great! Jitsi has never clicked for me. I tried it a few times, and read about it, and was never excited about it. I just tried Element Call, albeit an empty room, and the UI feels right.
It's not that much code and it has sensible function names. I appreciate that OP took the time to share his tool with us.
There's a very nice book The Box by Leninson about Shopping Containers, their history and economic impact!
The amount of data is irrelevant. Data by itself isn't actionable. We don't have a proven theoretical framework that could be used to turn data into good decisions in a command economy. Plus it is nearly impossible to command innovation; command economies have occasionally produced innovations by throwing enormous resources at particular problems, but for the most part they are stuck with copying innovations from free market economies.
1. Everything that supports WebP is affected. Not just Chrome and Electron, but all browsers, desktop and mobile, and non-browser software too. All kinds of image viewers, graphics programs, email clients, even your file manager that shows thumbnails.

The bug is in the codec library, and WebP has implementation monoculture, so everyone uses the same library, and everyone needs to patch.

3. Google tried to make WebP a thing 10 years ago, but it didn't get much traction, since it was Chrome-only for a long time. It never got properly standardized (it is open source tho). It compresses low-quality images better than JPEG, but tends to blur and smear colors in higher-quality images.

Ironically WebP became widely supported at the same time when it became technically obsoleted by AVIF and JPEG XL.

The current IRS online account system with ID.me does allow signing up with foreign addresses, and then you can download transcripts there.

Your struggles were probably with the previous system, which only allowed creating an account with a US address. It did however allow placing an online request without an account for a transcript to be mailed to a foreign address. I did this successfully myself and received the mail in Canada.
“The hottest new programming language is English”
This project seems like an architect just gave up and said fine, you get an enum value for any relationship you can think of, what do people want? And this was one suggestion.

This enum could have been replaced with data model where you set of a bunch of relationship links:

Relationship:

- type: parent (up), child (down), sibling (sideways)

- gender: male, female, ...

I am confused by the "younger" denotation, because it seems strangely specific to just the last relationship, rather than all of the links.

If you have a lot of relations, it would be easier to just create a family tree then you can skip having to have multiple duplicate links being created for say each cousin.

> Blake3 is 17 times faster! (Blake2b, a fast and more-trusted hash than blake3, is about 6x faster.)

I'm a little surprised to see that 6x figure. Just going off the red bar chart at blake2.net, I wouldn't expect to see much more than a 2x difference, unless you're measuring a sub-optimal SHA256 implementation. And recent x86 CPUs have hardware acceleration for SHA256, which makes it faster than BLAKE2b. But those CPUs also have wide vector registers and lots of cores, so BLAKE3's relative advantage tends to grow even as BLAKE2b falls behind.

But in any case, yes, builds and containers tend to be great use cases for BLAKE3. You've got big files that are getting hashed over and over, and they're likely to be in cache. An expensive AWS machine can hit crazy numbers like 100 GB/s on that sort of workload, where the bottleneck ends up being memory bandwidth rather than CPU speed.
Dang.

I always thought it was awkward that both [male spouse of sibling] and [male spouse of spouse's sibling] are both called "Brother-in-law" in American English usage, but this level of specificity is bananas to me.
But she's not an insider.

The common belief is that insider trading laws are about having data that the market doesn't know. In the US that's just not the basis for the law. In the US there is no expectation that everyone has the same information when trading. The expectation is that people who have a duty to the shareholders are not trading on any non public material information. If you don't have a duty to the shareholders, it doesn't matter how you trade.

Is that the appropriate standard to hold congress people to? I don't know, personally i think, no. But its not obvious that its incorrect from a legal point of view. What fiduciary duty does Nancy Pelosi have to some fund her husband owns? I'm good with a definition that says "once you become a congress person you have fiduciary duty to everyone" but thats not the law now.

>or sectors of economies

I would argue that the energy sector of most developed nations as a counterexample. I think we can go back and forth all day about the extent to which they are true command economies, but the ultimate point that natural monopolies can and often are successfully managed by nations in a centrally-planned manner I think is clear.

In my family we gave different words to the different grandparents, but chose more or less at random. This made the words unique and therefore more useful.

It's not an "issue" for parents, exactly, but it is an interesting choice because of how much less trodden a path it is. Would you both go by dad? Would one or both be daddy, dadda, or pop? Would you use first names or diminutives after a certain age?

87% of percentages are made up in the spot.
It is, but it's a small one, typically both in cost and number. E.g. I have 5 led strips, half a dozen smart plugs, about 40 bulbs, and a dozen smart switches, and 5 smart radiator valves/thermostats. Replacing a bridge with Home Assistant and a 10 pound USB dongle isn't the problem if everything else speaks open protocols. As I said, I wouldn't object to requiring untethering ability even for those, but requiring open protocols for the other devices is more important.

Most of the above is Zigbee, which is open, but some is Tado and Lightwave, and if they go rogue it'd suck to replace the devices rather than just the hubs.
