It's slightly funny to me that this is presented like something that needed to be discovered, and something for which people have to make apps. This is just a basic thing about being alive, people have known this life hack for about a million years. Maybe some people forgot, or were told something else and believed it, I don't know. Maybe not funny, maybe sad.
The reason why they keep hearing people defend the App Store model is because it works.

iOS has the lowest malware share out of all of the major platforms by an utterly staggering margin. On the other side of the spectrum is Android and Windows.

It's not some random shill argument that Apple's model protects users, it's proven, we have the data.

Yet somehow these types want you to believe that if a single piece of malware slips into the App Store that the entire approach is negated, as if the alternative isn't an absolute clusterfk. Or worse that some side-loading middleground hasnt already been abused. (Does no one remember the certificates fiasco? It's why they have a device limit.)

At least they've stopped with the equally absurd argument that Apple's platforms aren't a target "because they have a smaller userbase".

Also super tired of counterarguments based on the pretence: "I've not had any malware experiences, therefore this extremely well studied field in computing is wrong."

It's not the written in Java part, it's the running in the JVM that's the issue. Memory hungry is what I think of when I think Java apps. I'd much rather have a low memory Go or Rust service.
Probably expense and lack of options - housing a single family is already expensive (and often difficult to find), two right next to each other?

Trigger warning: I'm going to use the phrase "Harvard Law School" multiple times in this rant about my brothers.

My older lawyer brother (OLBro) will tell you one of two things within the first paragraph of family-get-togethers: how much his currently hourly rate bills at; or, something about "Harvard Law School," perhaps that "he attended." Just an absolute pompous asshat — bulldog, as per usual.

My younger lawyer brother (YLBro) talks about all the good things he's done with his wife/family, how a recent action he took helped countless such-and-such... and it's always a rewarding pleasure to see him at gatherings.

----

So this one particular Thanksgiving, OLBro and YLBro are heatedly "discussing" some controversial court action - while The Rest of Us eat on listening, bemused; we all know that OLBro(Harvard Law School alumni) is WRONG, and he is just "adding rope" to his own legal misunderstanding/lie/POV.

OLBro (clearly in-the-wrong): "So, YLBro... which law school did you attend?!"

YLBro (absolutely correct): "UT La..."

OLBro (louder voice; we're eating family holiday dinner): "So NOT HARVARD, then?!"

Then I laughed in his face, and The Rest of Us all chuckled and changed subject.

My random number generator can create new output that has never been seen before on the internet, but that is meaningless to the conversation.

DragonFly and FreeBSD have radically different ideas on how multithreading should work. (Understatement of the century right there!)

To elaborate for people who don't know the history: Disagreement about how multithreading should work are why Matt got booted from the FreeBSD project and started DragonFly.
Open source doesn't mean source code (or data) must accompany the program as it is distributed but rather there should be a way (CD ROM with a price tag or S3 bucket or torrent etc.) to get access to it.
True, but SCPing a JAR around still requires a JRE of some sort of another and all that entails. Sure, containerization helps that but, in turn, it too is another dependency in the eventual execution.

Long term, I think static binaries win, probably due to advances in WASI/WASM; where the whole execution stack (as we think of it today) is thrown away and replaced.

Lots of reasons, in no particular order:

- I've wanted to live in Europe for as long as I can remember. I can apply for a Portuguese passport after 5 years of residency, which unlocks the entire continent.

- I'm from Chicago and can no longer handle the 6 months of no sun and debilitating seasonal depression during the winter.

- I'm at the age where I'm no longer invincible health-wise and the US system is a comically expensive dumpster fire. The Portuguese health system has problems, but it is unlikely to literally bankrupt me like in the US.

- The US has had (on average) multiple mass shootings _per day_ this year [0]. Portugal has had _one_ and is one of the safest countries on the planet.

- Cost of living in Portugal (for an American) is low. This allows me to work less and live more.

- I'm a guy and I've never fit in to the dominant American (particularly midwestern) macho culture. Expectations for men are different in Portugal and Europe in general, so I'm much more comfortable.

- US politics. No further comment.

Thomas Sowell has a whole trilogy on the economic angle of geography and group dynamics. He traveled the world to research the subject and came to these same conclusions through data. Geography shapes opportunity, attitudes, culture, education, and outcomes more than any other single factor.

- Race and Culture

- Migration and Cultures

- Conquest and Cultures

If ever there were developed the equivalent of psychohistory, it'd likely be a theory of economics. Asimov either chose to ignore or wasn't informed enough about chaos theory at the time he wrote Foundation. He wanted to write a future history that read like The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and psychohistory was a device that got him there.

100%. I've tested deno with the feature flag — all it needs is the upstream v8 to unflag it

deno repl --v8-flags=--harmony-temporal

I couldn't test it in bun, but it should be the same thing, except that it depends on JavaScriptCore instead of v8. But basically nodejs, deno and bun don't really need to do anything — just wait for v8 and JSCore.

Browsers are waiting for the proposal to signal that it's ready to be unflagged. Right now it states it must be behind a flag.
Except these have nothing to do with AR (sadly)...
By far the best advance in the ResMed Autoset machines is how good the Auto part does. I don't know about your old Respironics device but I do know in the bad old days getting a CPAP set up was an arduous process of trial and error figuring out what static pressure would work best. The auto machines just detect when you're having trouble breathing and increase the pressure a bit. Works amazingly well.

BTW your AutoSet 11 should support an SD Card still where you can get a lot more data than ResMed's webapp will show you. OSCAR or SleepHQ can interpret the data.
> I assume this is because everything is being diluted with cheap fentanyl.

This is a myth. Nobody is cutting non-opiate drugs (like cocaine) with fentanyl. Fentanyl overdoses from non-opiate drugs are the result of accidental contamination, not intentional adulteration.

Drugs like cocaine are cut with other substances intentionally, but not fentanyl.

There's no shortage of companies, many of which HN readers are employed by, that did the same.

I'm no fan of Elon - I cancelled a Model 3 order and went with an EV6. However you only have to drive around on the freeway for a few minutes to see the success Tesla has had, despite their stock price or how shitty of a dude Elon is.

I don't think they're saying that receiving and touching the box was a danger to the recipient. I think they're just expressing that 10 pounds is a lot and this is not a single casual user just buying enough for themselves and their friends.
Seeing a laser dot at any serious range is pretty much impossible, at least in my experience. There's also a lot of airborne material at shoots as multiple rounds impact the target/ground/etc. They consistently time slower than reflex sights, and sometimes even iron sights.

That's not considering the problem that in fog/dust, the beam is a "HERE I AM" arrow. Not a problem in competition though. But it underlies the primary use of lasers: IR beams with nightvision. THAT'S the golden ticket for lasers, and you can see where your buddies are aiming too. Now, if you're fighting someone else with nightvision . . hey, good thing we can choose who we fight, right guys? Guys?
Yes, unless there are safeguards and Constitution that keep "immoral" people out of the government. But I agree something like that was probably what Adams was trying to say.

As an example in recent news Super Court justices have been accused of taking bribes. It is no surprise because there is now ethical rules the right-wing majority of the Supreme Court says it would have to follow, by law. I'm not sure if that is true but surely there could be such a law.

So we need laws, and we need better laws, which means laws that have fewer loopholes, and which apply to all, even Supreme Court justices and Presidents. Are we there yet? Not yet.

There's an underlying issue with the whole AR screen thing. They're heavily limited by the resolution of the screen in the goggles itself. These have a bit over half a 4k display per eye so you can only really have display resolutions of some fraction of that determined by what fraction of the area of a given eye display the fake screen takes up. If you blow it up until you're only looking at a portion of the screen you can have a larger one but then you're stuck to moving your head around to see your whole monitor. It's one of the big issues with the whole AR screen idea we'll need pretty beefy hardware to work around.
It turned out that even people who don't want to garden would come out and just hang out and talk around the garden. Most humans just like being around green growing things. Probably from millions of years of evolution.
Have you heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamizole ?

Widely used outside the US, but illegal to prescribe here. But you can own it here as long as you are not prescribing it. It's not as potent as an opioid, but it's a step up from the OTC stuff. I often buy it when traveling abroad (a bottle costs less than a dollar in Latin America) and my family has used it for years as millions of people abroad. There are concerns with safety, but according to plenty of foreign research, these risks are comparable to other, widely used medicine, and are based on outdated results.

This medicine is so cheap it wouldn't be profitable to do new trials in the US, thus we will likely not see this sold here anytime soon.

Anyway, this is not medical advice!
> Fentanyl is only dangerous if ingested; incidental contact is harmless.

Bullshit. Your hand touches something that had fentanyl powder on it, your finger goes up your nose or in your mouth (most people in the world do this), then what?? Oh, nothing?

>Making a comparison of how that would affect a person who has no tolerance is misleading fearmongering, when there was no indication that any person in this story was going to accidentally ingest the substance.

I guess let's just ignore the problem, OP was being silly, there's nothing wrong here?? Is that really your line of thinking? What if the elderly person decided to open up one of the powder packages to see what kind of powder was in it, like if it had a smell or something, maybe it's chalk, maybe it's salt - they don't know. In that case they very likely would be dead. Inhaling it if grandpa did cut open one of the packages would likely kill anyone that entered the room.

I've never seen anyone be so cavalier about 10 pounds of fentanyl before.
That one sentence made the whole piece rather confusing.

I tend to agree with the conclusions about mindset and attitude. These are far more valuable than a specific education in the long run. But these traits aren’t synonymous with a willingness to work grueling hours.

They also admit:

> The thing about desperation (mixed with exhaustion) is that it doesn’t lead to the best decision-making. We needed people so badly that we settled for the first ones who walked in the door

This was referring to the leadership team’s desperation and burnout. Essentially that they were making bad decisions because of how stretched thin they were.

It’s not clear to me that their goal is to find people who are willing to put in grueling hours, or if the mention of grueling hours was more about the need to change how they hire and operate.

If the former, it’s an incredibly hypocritical goal given their own direct experience with the counterproductive effects of overworking.

If the latter, they need to make that more clear in the writing.

I’ve worked with people who feel they’re entitled to everything without putting in effort. This is a very different dynamic than refusing to fall for the BS variety of “work hard, play hard” mentality which is really code for “we expect you to treat your job like it’s the most important thing in your life”.

All said, some good insights in the piece about the value or lack thereof in hiring based on prestige. But I really can’t get a read on their stance re: working long hours.
I'm not sure if it's federal, but in my state a doctor is required to report anything they feel is unusual. Mandated reporter, it's called.

Though I can't figure out that prompt and with LLama2's template it's... weird. Responds half in Korean and does unnecessary numbering of paragraphs.

Just one big sigh towards those supposed efforts on prompt template standardization. Every single model just has to do something unique that breaks all compatibility but has never resulted in any performance gain.
Kudos to the developers. It looks gorgeous, and I eagerly await further progress. :)
You're right, of course.

It's not the shouting that I take great exception to, it's the pathological need to control exercised by suppressing opposing ideas and punishing those that engage in wrongthink.

> If Google started adding Google Cloud specific primitives natively to Go would you call that forward thinking as well?

Go actually ships with a quite forward thinking SQL interface. It's an abstract interface over a DB, and you just import the "driver" that powers it. The driver conforms to a standard interface, so all of them behave roughly the same.

I think this is what everyone wants from Deno/etc - why can't there also be a KV interface that's universal, or a Queue interface that's universal?

People attempted this w/ go [1], where it attempts to use the same nice experience of the SQL logic, but it never seemed to gain traction.

> I saw a discussion a few weeks back (not here) where someone was arguing that SD-created images should be legal, as no children would be harmed in their creation, and that it might prevent children from being harmed if permitted.

It's a bit similar to the synthetic Rhino horn strategy intended to curb Rhino poaching[0]. Why risk going to prison or getting shot by a ranger for a 30$ horn? Similarly, why risk prison (and hurt children) to produce or consume CSAM when there is a legal alternative that doesn't harm anyone?

In my view, this approach holds significant merits. But unfortunately, I doubt many politicians would be willing to champion it. They would likely fear having their motives questioned or being unjustly labeled as "pro-pedophile".

No part of that document details out that if you fail to follow their exact ritual then they get to steal your code and include it as their own. In comments all over this thread you go on about OP not following the proper ritual to appease the Greg Kroah-Hartman, for the code not being significant enough, for being unsolicited, for not being exactly as some random maintainer would like it. None of that matters. What matters is that this guy's code is in the kernel, unattributed, with minimal changes. If the kernel maintainers feel the ritual wasn't followed, then they can reject the patch, not steal it.
