Yeah - I'm very much about maintaining an immutable record. That is why, back in 2006, I started designing Fossil to control SQLite, instead of just switching to Git.

I think that proper version control should be immutable. If history is changeable, what's the point in having history at all? It ceases to be "history" and becomes just a fable or hagiography.

Mistakes happen, and it is important to be able to correct them, which Fossil does do. In many ways Fossil's mistake-correction logic is far better than Git's. If you make a check-in to the wrong branch, you can move it after the fact in Fossil. If you check-in with the wrong user-id, or a with a goofy check-in comment, you can edit those too. Was your system clock wonky when you did the commit, resulting in a bad timestamp on the check-in, that too can be fixed. I say "edit" - really you are not modifying the original check-in at all. The original check-in is immutable. But Fossil supports the ability to add correction records (tags) on top of check-ins. The original history is preserved and you can always drill down to find out exactly what happened. But for routine day-to-day usage, only the corrected values are shown on displays and reports. So it is like being able to change history, except that you are left with an audit trail.

This is how accounting and legal systems work. You never erase - you only add corrections.
What you’re missing is the massive legal category of “prescription drugs”. In some countries, you can just go to the pharmacy and buy Lipitor or Viagra or levothyroxine or antibiotics without a prescription. The United States is not one of those countries. Requiring a drug to be prescribed in a medical setting is the default legal stance in this country, except it takes years of waiting on the FDA to even get that far.

Launching my Side Project on Product Hunt for the first time. A small recap
Ok, so it is a clear sign that CD Projekt is going under. You cannot have a labor union and still be a successful company. Unions are cancer.

More to the point: IT job market in Poland is based on freelance (B2B) contracts. The fact that CD Projekt staff can unionize proves that they were mostly employed on Contract of Employment. Which means that all the best stuff have already left CD Projekt long time ago, because no self-respecting programmer would work on Contract of Employment when they can make twice the money as a freelancer.
Because you can't guarantee that everything (or even anything) in the source was actually applied. Whether it's because there was some error in doing so or because there just was no run.

Additional potential issues: how are you generating your primary keys before resource creation? Probably by some hashing of attributes known at creation time? And how are you avoiding collisions? How are you dealing with modules that may have gone through multiple commits/versions since the last time you ran an apply?

There's just too many places where you really want to have a mapping of at least logical IDs -> physical IDs to ensure consistency. The one big advantage CloudFormation has here is that it just handles the state for you, but there's definitely still state.
> Is it that the CPU would be unable to effectively use all that bandwidth due to less parallelism compared with a GPU?

Yes, but also it's due to simple physical limitations. If you look at how close CPUs are to RAM as well as the number of PCB lines coming out of CPUs, it becomes pretty readily apparent that there's not much room for additional lines.

You have to recognize that each of those lines is creating a magnetic field, the closer you stack them, the more likely cross talk is.

We could continue to lower the voltage on the memory lanes so you can pack them closer together, but then you have to start worrying about environmental interference on the lines. It likely won't be too long in the future (if it's not already here) that we'll start seeing shielding for the memory lanes so they can be packed closer together and more can be added.

It wouldn't shock me if this became a part of DDR6.

It also wouldn't shock me to start seeing more complex memory controllers doing things like lz4 compression to eck out even higher bandwidths (particularly when the memory is highly uniform). We are sort of seeing the precursor of this in DDR5 with commands to set whole blocks to a given value.

Then go up to my first reply. Newsom isn't going to run for a position he has a 0% chance of winning and will piss people off trying. He probably wants a cabinet position.
Not a lawyer so don't speak lawyer but if you googled "right of publicity" a few well known cases come up like Vanna White vs Samsung. Vanna White won.

There was also the case of Crispin Glover in Back to the Future 2. Glover also got paid.
I grew up in a house that was built into the side of a hill and it was easy for our cats to get onto the roof from where a roofline was near the ground. They'd regularly wander around and get up on the roof. And they would all quickly discover that the most effective way to get let in during the middle of the night was threatening to destroy the window screens if one of us didn't open a window.

How do weave files cope with history diverging across copies, moves, and deletes? How do they handle file/directory conflicts across different branches?
It's too close of a distance for a night train. It should take maybe three hours on properly developed railways that do not go around.
There are many fungi, or chemicals derived from them, that are used in medicine. Penicillin was from fungi. They're using turkey tail mushroom in combo with other cancer treatments. I think PSK (anti-cancer theraputic in Japan, I think) was originally from shiitake. Lions mane mushroom has been studied as a nootropic for stroke recovery. Relishi, chaga, cordesepes, and others are out there too, although I'm not sure to what degree they have been studies or employed in mainstream medicine.

IDK how Quora is suppose to work but every time I reluctantly try to read an answer, I find the first answer too basic or incomplete, then the next answer has nothing to do with the question, but that's not user error on part of the person who wrote the non-sense answer, the site is actually designed to present a random unrelated answer in slot 2. It's like if somebody saw the hot and related questions sidebar from stackoverflow and said "what if we took this useful and interesting engagement feature and made a useless annoying version of it? " Then I don't bother checking for a 3rd answer, I just leave Quora mostly unsure of why I even bothered.

The point they're making is that fewer than 30% of monkeys would still be positive after so many years if it were random chance

Idk if that's true but you're not saying what percentage one would expect to see instead

I also think monkeys are the wrong example here because aren't they at even odds with the index? 50% of them, assuming they take no bananas for their service and assuming they don't get to make more trades than the index does, should have beaten the index, if my currently-half-awake brain is working correctly
When I started there were very few implementations that were going for something as general as I wanted, so I had to improvise a lot and invent concepts about how to handle activities.

That being said, I'm not sure what you mean by rules.
Yeah this is an absolutely terrible idea. Antibiotics should be avoided unless needed, they will wreck your digestive system.
You're interpreting my mention of the US which is incidentally where tech salaries are higher as the focus of my comment. That's not it.

You could replace that with whatever country could offer those salaries.
Interesting--seems to be undercounting my experience a lot!!

Thank you for posting the timeline

So unless you're going to insist on a special calendar in which February 2018 occured two days before March 2017, you're basically confirming that I was correct to point out that your original statement that "Dr Breary, who was also under pressure because of the apparent rise of deaths in his department, came up with this document more than two and a half years after the child was released and just a couple of days before Letby was about to return to his department against his will." got the timeline all wrong.
Does a licence that says "you must distribute the source unmodified, but you're allowed to distribute patches with it and a build system that applies them" count as free?

The DFSG said yes.

Does a licence says "you may modify this and redistribute it as much as you like, but if you put it on a CD then everything else on there must also be free" count as free?

The DFSG said no.
I think it was in a comment thread here that there was some debate about Tesla and novelty, and someone noted that Tesla didn't actually design the cars but licensed the body designs from Lotus. (All of this was in the context of some "does Elon Musk actually deserve credit" debate.)

Some Tesla/Musk fans replied that it probably didn't even help them get to market faster, and now that Tesla was FINALLY using their own design for the Cybertruck they could really create a vehicle that was fully met the electric vehicle and Tesla's potential.

I kind of bookmarked that discussion in my mind, the notion that the Cybertruck represents a new design process, a kind of unleashing of the process, and perhaps represents a fully Elon Musk version of Tesla.

The result has not disappointed! Without using conventional body designs as the basis of this new vehicle they've instead made bizarre and cringy choices that can't be justified aesthetically or functionally. I honestly thought the original Cybertruck design was just going to be a placeholder to attract attention before they made something reasonable... and without Musk maybe it would have been.

Everyone else didn't come upon the conventional designs by accident; there's a lot of hubris in making such a big change, especially since it's not a meaningful part of Tesla's unique value.
It aligns the email with the tradition of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, which were originally private notes for the author’s own purposes. However, Jobs was a public figure who likely anticipated that his private emails would become a part of his legacy.
Diabetes isn't that exceptional in our population. And not that exceptional as a "do or [suffer extreme consequences]" medication. Statins, antipsychotics, epilepsy medications, even sleeping pills, can literally save lives if taken on an ongoing basis.

Nearly all prescription medications have benefits that far outweigh their downsides, at least at a population level.

I do understand to some degree the growing skepticism around prescription medications, especially because of some high profile over-prescription events, but the gains achieved in quality of life and longevity due to prescription medications are huge.

Put another way: I'm quite sure that the _overwhelming_ majority of prescription medications are a net benefit to the patient. This stat is in no way a bad thing.
Not that "Nobody Cares" of course people care if you've lost all their money or they've lost their jobs.

I just tried it and I will keep an eye on it for later. Currently it is a work in progress and there is a lot of issues with the dependencies and compatibility with legacy setups, but it is way better than Warp and other GPU terminals that I tried.

I am currently a happy user of Urxvt and intend to continue until I am forced to switch to wayland (in a long time, I hope). In comparaison I have to add that the rendering in more defined in Urxvt that Contour even after tinkering, and like always it uses at least 5 times less memory.
The noise cancelling allows me to get drown out background noise with my music at a lower volume. I’d guess the relative volume is the same.

Anything that can be shared or tested individually gets moved to a library, no matter how small.

I'll have an 'ed' library for things like the gap buffer and undo/redo aware buffer (built on gap) as well as the movement logic and stuff like that.

The "editor" will only handle default bindings, the action/draw/paint cycle and an action event loop. These are core to the specific application so they belong to be coupled to it.
Remembering that a line of code is a price you pay, and not an accomplishment in and of itself, is a valuable mindset to maintain. And I think that 500 lines is a comparable volume of code to digest across many languages. It may accomplish varying amounts of useful work, but that's beside the point. The purpose of this work is not to engage in an inter-language, inter-domain pissing match; it's to meditate on the human economics of software design. It says as much in the introduction: "500 Lines or Less focuses on the design decisions that programmers make in the small."

Thinking about these things does matter. This past week I refactored a somewhat challenging piece of code my team had been maintaining from several hundred lines of code to about 30, without playing code golf. And I found and removed bugs (and even a little bit of code golf) in the process. Similar to what the book's introduction suggests, a lot of this change was down to rethinking the abstractions and decomposition of the code. The original version apparently tried to force the problem to fit a preselected design pattern. Doing that instead of decomposing the problem according to its own natural structure really does seem to have resulted in a ~10X code bloat factor.
It becomes more of a consideration when accounting for the fact that you can buy a Macbook that ships with an un-upgradeable 8 GB of RAM, which, sadly, is deficient for even moderate tasks these days.

You are correct. A better way to put it. And it is true that the IETF working groups are often from corporate vendors.

So perhaps that part of my argument is completely wrong. And distracts from the main question: could other fundamental models of collaboration be significantly more productive (efficient) than corporate models?
Those require a bit more power than a Pi Zero though. That's not necessarily a blocker but if the system OP is talking about only has USB2 ports a Pi 4/5 wouldn't be suitable.
Ask HN: Best ways to access private equity?
I’m looking to start making investments in private equity, and am curious to hear what the consensus is on the best ways to access opportunities. E.g angel list, equity zen, etc. It’s unclear to me if these platforms are even worth using, so I’m curious what everyone else is doing! Thanks.
> Intel will go the Apple way though

Hmm, curious what the "Apple way" is here..

> simpler cores

Apple's cores are very far from simple. They are much larger than the other ARM CPUs on the market, and this is also why they are faster than other ARM CPUs on the market.

> trading die area for ever larger caches

Apple has big L1 comparatively, but L2 & L3 are nothing special. Certainly nowhere close to the massive caches that AMD's X3D offers.

> also on-die memory

Apple doesn't have on-die memory. AMD is the only company to have shipped on-die memory to consumers (they were also the first to ship it), and they only did so on GPUs so far. Nvidia & Intel are playing with it for datacenter products, though, but that's about it (H100 & Xeon Max respectively)
I travelled from Germany to Croatia and had to book a 2 person sleeping cabin (100€ more expensive).
When we entered, the sleeping wagon was a seating wagon. We (2) were stuffed with 2 other people into a cabin.
No one told us what was going on.
Well we travelled for 13h without getting any sleep.

I created a support ticket on the same day from inside the train.
Only generic response.
2 weeks later I created another one.
Same deal.
About a week ago I contacted the arbitration board and the ÖBB refunded 100% of the ticket purchase price.
I didn't except that.

This is really exemplary.

I'm guessing they receive a high volume of support requests and are understaffed.

The reason why we there was no sleeping wagon was apparently that it went defective.

I'm guessing the wagons are old and the cabins are small and it's about time they got replaced.
Also this year the sheer volume of travelers was absurd.
All the seating cabins were fully booked for over a month in advance.
All that were was left were a few sleeping cabins every few days.
That's why we booked them.
But we couldn't book a 3 people cabin for 200€, (2 seats would've been 120€), because 1 male traveler booked 1 bed in it.
So we had to book a 300€ 2 bed cabin.

Well I'm looking forward for the new wagons.
Doesn’t EPYC already do this? You can put an EPYC in a desktop - I did.
Half an hour of time recovered using a system not specialized to the work at hand. With better tooling and integrations that could scale to several hours a day spent doing more valuable work.

In your design, can I go to the other "branch/folder" and look around / copy over that binary to my current "branch/folder" in a file explorer without a "checkout"?
Generally good advice but some major investment decisions may not fit the fact pattern. The results can vary substantially, for example:

- Buying real estate before or after the 2008 real estate crash

- YOLO'ing on a specific stock/company/crypto before or after a bull run

I presume their advice becomes more solid the more you trade and the more diversified the investment is.
A minority excluding the majority has a different effect to the majority excluding a minority.
Interesting walk through in the linked video as he tried to troubleshoot this:

https://www.youtube.com/live/1UnoBfw6soI

Pretty shocking to see (extremely unlikely) non-malicious code work / not-work depending on a security mitigation setting.

Curious to see where this goes as to whether it's a kernel bug and nobody is paying attention to `mitigations=off` now or the unlikely outcome that it's an actual hardware bug where mitigations work around it and nobody has noticed.

Seems he had overclocked and maybe disabling the migation has revealed an instability in his setup that's otherwise stable (or at best marginal).
What can you even say at this point?

Absolutely shameful. Clearly decriminalization is the correct thing to do here. Adults should be able to do what they want. ( Within reason, clearly fent should not be publicly available. )

Zero connection between the desires of our people and what our government does.
>diabetes immediately comes to mind - where it's a "do or die" decision, but those are the minority.

The rate of diabetes is exploding.

>37.3 million people, or 11.3% of the U.S. population, have diabetes. An estimated 28.7 million people – had diagnosed diabetes. Approximately 8.6 million people have diabetes but have not yet been diagnosed.

Oh, and what about high blood pressure.

>About 70% of Americans will have high blood pressure in their lifetimes. What's more, only 1 in 4 patients with hypertension have their blood pressure under control. And because high blood pressure usually has no symptoms, you can have it without knowing it.

Why does this matter?

>About 697,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that's 1 in every 5 deaths.
Portugal is not a wealthy country and one of the areas where funding has dropped significantly below adequate levels is the support infrastructure around decriminalization. As with all austerity politics, there are loud reactionary voices who prefer the punitive approach.
> p.s.: I don’t care about power consumption :)

Clearly! I don’t know if I’d say it’s “on par” if an Apple A-series part (i.e., low power enough to be shipped in iPhones and not in any of their “serious” computers) is actually getting slightly higher numbers than the fastest, most power hungry core that AMD has right now!
Yeah that's how the email reads to me as well. A person who's had so much pressure on them to create amazing things that he's blaming himself for not being god-like.
what deb and rpm and any similar packaging are missing is true version control of the whole packaging ecosystem. at present it is difficult to track which combination of package versions has been tested, and you can't easily roll back to a tested combination. the current systems assume that versioning is linear and that a newer version of any package is always better than an older version. downgrading any package so that every user of the distribution can benefit from the downgrade is difficult and confusing.

there are distributions that provide rollback. but as far as i can tell they require you to keep the old version to roll back to, stored on your computer. you can't roll back otherwise.

i really want this to work like revision systems for code, where i can just checkout any old version that was committed.

another feature that i would like to see everywhere is stickiness of the packaging source. currently, if i include additional repos they override the main repo, such that always the newest version is picked from any repo.

this makes it difficult to include less trusted 3rd party repos. i would like to be able to add 3rd party repos such that only the packages that i explicitly install from that repo will also be updated from that repo, while any other packages in that repo will be ignored unless no other repo has them.

in debian it is possible to set priorities for different repos, but that is not easy to manage. the priorities to have each package update stick to the original repo should be default.

guix and nix do provide some of this as far as i can tell, but i am not a fan of keeping every package self contained with massive link trees. (i may change my mind on that some time maybe, but that's what i feel for now)

conary was/(is?) a packaging system that did have both of these features, although, according to some of the developers the repository was a bit clunky and could have been better. but that was under the hood, not noticeable to users and packagers. i loved working with it and i wish foresight, the distribution using it had become more popular so that it would have had the manpower to keep going.
