The fact that nobody wants it is telling. It's an uninhabited, landlocked strip of desert with no water. Would be hard to start a new settlement there.
This was a brilliant design. It had to balance cost in terms of pins and dynamic refresh, with capacity and reliability.

It hit a sweet spot for everything that basically let this design take over the world of early computing and it was easily composable to larger memory sizes up to a point that was sufficient for the time.

There's a pretty good reason this style of RAM is used on so many machines of the time, in pretty much the same configuration, and that you can pretty much swap RAM chips between machines of this time.
You don't need a bundler with multiple .ts files any more than with multiple .js file - which is that you don't "need" one at all.

Libraries especially don't and should be published to npm unbundled. Bundling is purely an application concern.
All nine of them, and practically every lawyer of all persuasions, will tell you that the only justice is the equal application of the written law. And sense of "justice" to mean "fairness" is a job for the legislature.

The fact that legislation is always vague and they can interpret it to mean whatever their ideology wants it to mean is just waiting for more legislation to fix it. If there is an obvious miscarriage of justice, all you need to do is get a majority of the House, 60% of the Senate, and the President to all agree within a two year window. There, justice done.

I did not know this and it’s a godsend. I have otherwise found iOS cursor positioning to be awful, especially when text selection is involved as well. Thank you.

Not really. Ads are basically always served in an iframe precisely so it can't access content in the parent page.

Even if worse came to worst and there was a bug on the parent page that let the ad JS access its parent page context, it should still be sandboxed to just that page.

It's super meaningful because conservatives and progressives are nearly fully aligned on the issues mentioned above:

- police oversight

- abortion

- welfare

And even on dumber issues like public transit. Say what you will about authoritarianism being the real problem but most people vote and ally themselves based on the progressive-conservative axis.

The author also seems to have pulled a fast one, writing:

> Unfortunately, some politicians seem to have an unhealthy obsession with censorship. For example, U.S. President Joe Biden recently accused social media platforms, like Facebook, of “killing people” with misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Criticizing something, even by the President, is not censorship.
I don't think this one was really intended to have a meaningful resell value since it started at a high enough price. But it could probably be resold at a good price in a private transaction between high networth individuals if it needed too.

I would say that this isn't an expression of conservatism, but an expression of authoritarianism. The two often travel together, but authoritarianism isn't an essential characteristic of conservatives.

> Well, no.

Just because Florida, Texas, etc have lurched towards authoritarianism at the state government level in recent years doesn't negate the fact that a belief in limited government is a central idea in conservative thought in the USA, and has been for over a hundred years.

For OpenBSD, only 512MB is needed even with the kernel relinks. Or so my experience with virtual machines says.

I sometimes run two VMs at 512MB each on my 4GB Windows 10 laptop. And I can use Windows apps too at the same time. (VMware workstation.)

If you want to shrink the kernel and the relink memory footprint, @unangst has an unofficial recipe.
Even better: Each user can have his own locale and charset, and may even change that per program/shell/session. One may save filenames as UTF-8, one as ASCII, one as ISO8859-13, one as EBCDIC.

However, the common denominator nowadays is UTF-8, which has been a blessing overall getting rid of most of the aforementioned mess for international multi-user systems. And there is the C.UTF-8 locale which is slowly gaining traction.
I'm not sure, but I think the answer might involved shared blocklists.
It's retributive justice, it's not a deterrent.

To quote a post I recently found resonating with me:

"Look, we don’t necessarily hang murderers to deter other people from committing the same offence. We kill them simply because the punishment has to carry the same weight as the offence. The family of the murderer must go through the same anguish and pain that the murder victim’s family went through. The killer has to be stopped from enjoying all the things that come with being alive. When you kill another person, you deprive them of worldly enjoyments like food, sex, conversations, bathing, laughing, crying and therefore it is only befitting that you too get deprived of same and the only way to do so is through the death sentence. If we are going to shy away from punishing wrong-doers on the basis that the punishment won’t stop other people from committing the same offence then we might as well not send anyone to jail because sending people to jail has never stopped other people from committing the same offences."

I remember similar things in the UK, having to pay both a monthly subscription price and a per-minute fee to access the internet.

When I got a broadband connection in the mid nineties it was a double win - no longer did I have to pay by the minute, and when I was online I could still make and receive phone-calls from my landline.

It’s easier to make blanket rules than do performance mgmt for managers.

If data shows some % of the company has been completely slacking off with WFH (or over employed etc) you could either hold mgmt accountable (but how? Fire all VPs for letting that happen? Fire all line managers?) or just make blanket policies…
As a side note, text editing on desktop also isn't okay. Especially in the browser era, the fact that the "do command" manipulation from text editors and the "do command" manipulation from control panels collided violently in the browser as an application mean that when I do a simple click and drag to select text, I have no idea what's going to happen. Will I select the text? Will I start dragging the link underneath the text? Is the text an image so I start dragging the image? Will I try to activate the button that the text is actually wrapped by?

Browsers could honestly use a modifier (additional mouse button or key held down) that put them in a "text selection mode," in which all other meanings of click and click-drag are switched off. That would give the user full control to excerpt text from the page regardless of its context.

> Alternatively you can set the process code page to UTF-8 and call the 'A' variant API directly, but only sometimes, and only with Windows 10 v1903+, and you might still have to change the system locale setting and reboot

There is no need to do this; you can just call the A variant by name. Wide char and ascii functions are distinguished with W or A at the end, such as CreateFileA or CreateFileW. CreateFile is a macro.
Problem is that that feature is not very discoverable. But I agree. The author seems very Android focused because most issues don’t really exist for iOS users once you know how it works.
Ticketmaster is still a monopoly.

What I meant is she’s avoiding the resale/scalping thing via Verified Fan to minimize the impact of scalpers. It’s still run through tickmaster.

https://help.ticketmaster.com/hc/en-us/articles/978700273934...

But Verified Fan isn’t universally applied. The individual artist make separate deals requiring it or not and they take the blame for the hassle of requiring it. I suspect but don’t know that Tickmaster also takes a larger cut for the “overhead” of Verified Fan, making this a classic monopolist lose lose situation.

> Lots of people use 哥, 弟弟, 妹妹, 姐姐 (literally older brother, younger brother, younger sister, older sister) to mean their friendship group, although this is probably a result of the impact of the one child policy.

Use of kinship terms to describe non-kin is clearly not related to the one-child policy given that it’s a language feature of Chinese that occurs across multiple political lines. It also appears in other languages, such as Korean.

Chinese also differentiates kin vs non-kin address. 哥哥 is typically used to describe a blood relation. 哥 and 哥哥 have very different connotations if used to refer to a non-relative.
A lot of the problem (for me at least) is that phone text-selection UIs are way too stateful. It’s very easy to mistime a tap and get a word select instead of selecting a different spot. It’s also very easy to misposition a tap and select too much, or not enough.

Adding text-selection features is IMO not the best approach. I’d actually rather they reduced the feature set and made the effects of UI actions less dependent on the state of the text selection UI.

No, not really. Let's say the testimony was reliable, which it wasn't. What's the proper inference: that he kept going with bad parenting and escalated to murder? Or, that he recognized what he did was unhelpful and problematic so never did it again? How do you choose between inferences? In this way, the "evidence" comes back, again, to something alarmingly like a popularity contest which turns, quite unacceptably, on these people's presuppositions about a socially awkward dad trying to raise the child solo.

My only disagreement. I think many people don't know they want something better because they've never used something better. The video in the link describes how the users do short texts to get around the problem [0], including deleting whole blocks of text instead of editing. Teenagers, parents, and many others communicate heavily through texts and are often "up and down" like management/business users. On the whole I believe many people would benefit from a better text editing experience.

I personally don’t like speech-to-text because then you’re broadcasting every word you write to everyone around you.

I don’t think screen size is the limiting factor when editing, but the lack of a convenient keyboard. I’ve edited quite large texts with a Bluetooth keyboard connected to my phone.

Yes and no - some programs or systems of programs regularly transform between UTF-8 and UTF-16. A file path in Windows can be "valid" (or whatever we wanna call it) and still not convert cleanly to UTF-8.

Edit to clarify: many systems which deal with non-path UTF-16 strings, nowadays are so intertwined with the UTF-8 world, that they get the validation "for free" so to speak, here and there, wherever they interact with the rest of the world.

Paths though, remain a common little corner case, working fine until it suddenly doesn't, for some weird combination.

Maybe I’m a leet kid but I type 65 WPM on my phone so I find actual typing on my phone on par with typing on desktop, except if special punctuation is involved.

…but the whole mobile experience is still terrible with a lot of scrolling, panning, and annoying text selection.

I’m aware most people don’t type that fast so they would never type on mobile but for those that do, it would be sweet if the mobile experience was better.

One thing I found out on iOS recently is that you can shake your phone for text undo.

This is what psychedelics can do, they can resurface painful memories and trauma. It's up to the person to (soberly) address this with counseling. I try to see this as a positive thing. If people bottle up trauma it could ruin their whole life since it's never dealt with or addressed.
Personally if I had a choice of just one I’d pick the threads over fibers if the threads facility is really high performance like the one in Java.

Today you have quad cores even on a cheap phone and 16 on a desktop and 60+ on a server and OS and some runtimes make it pretty easy to get large speed ups on many tasks even when subtasks are closely coordinated. (One thing I like about Java is that it has low-level thread primitives that really scale as opposed to many systems have have a small set of low-level primitives that in theory let you do everything but not scale.)

Contrast that to fibers and similar things (JS and Python async) that do a great job of keeping a CPU busy when you are waiting for network activity but are limited to one CPU.

The underlying assumptions in this post don't really make sense for an organization like YC.

It's probably a good idea for YC to have some thesis about which technologies will be big, and "AI" is probably a good bet. The entire point of investing in so many AI startups is that I'm quite sure YC expects the vast, vast majority to fail (for various definitions of "fail"). But I think most people believe that there will be very few winners in the AI space (like pretty much all the other tech spaces over the past 20 years), so the biggest fears of someone like a YC is not getting in in those one or two AI companies that made it big.
This is pretty silly. They have the option to alloc and leak in C too. Rust is also just guaranteed memory safety not leak free, right? In a competition of lazy code, I'd rather GC pauses than OOM crashes.

But C# isn't ideal for a driver because of the weight of the runtime not because it's hard to save on allocations.
