So the author made a foolish mistake of not reading the site's rules? I know, I know, who does that? I might be one of very few… Just like I might be one of very few who actually take their time when asking a question, showing respect to anyone who might spend some time answering…

The question doesn't show research effort, it's just two sentences. Sometimes that's all it takes, but if you add a requirement "without converting to lower/upper case", I think it should come with an explanation? I often encounter questions like that "How do I drive my car without using a steering wheel?" - and upon a confrontation I usually hear "well just for fun" or a similar answer - SO is a bad place to ask questions like that. If you're e.g. interested in performance, describe your situation, paste your current code and explain how you're concerned about the efficiency of your current approach.

Also originally the post wasn't not even properly written… Just a low quality post, so why bother improving a question (editing away the "best") that is so bad to begin with, especially as that doesn't guarantee you will avoid the critique (instead of critique of bad moderators who close a question, I would be reading about bad moderators that modify a question changing its meaning).

As I hinted at the beginning, we might be from different worlds: it's beyond my understanding how you could think of pointing out the example is not cherry picked, as if it was some beautiful post, with images, thoroughly explaining the issue, perhaps even addressing (preemptively or as an edit) the "opinion-based" flag, and yet was unfairly closed. Meanwhile it's shit. The revision history doesn't show any real OP's effort to fix the question, other than that meta exists to discuss such things, and if you're not satisfied with answers, you can write a real question describing your case.

So we might be from different worlds, and I'm happy SO/SE exist, because I find them, and their policies - for the most part - useful. You don't, and it's fine, you can use the alternatives.

> when you do occasionally manage to reopen a question (quite difficult) it leaves no evidence that it was ever closed.

The "closed" revision won't disappear when you reopen a question.
No-one cares (it's a non-topic) so not sure what a survey even means then (and the survey is 6 months old).
I don't have a problem with OP's approach and I think he should be free to put whatever he wants on the content-stealing sites, but he didn't have to make it sexual.

A very annoying, loud, visually busy animation would've sufficed. Baby shark at maximum volume, or a continuous fart sound, or maybe just a high pitched beep would also sufficiently scare away people.

By showing porn in a place that he knows minors and other protected groups will visit, they violate decency laws in a whole bunch of countries. They probably wouldn't if this was accidental (i.e. they sold their domain to a third party that turned it into a porn site) but in this case they admit this was very much intentional.
I was thinking the same thing about Slack. But yeah, I wonder if the name had a positive or negative impact on the overall outcome.

I'm rejecting all dynamically typed languages *for production*. Where production means anything that needs to exist for a long time and is supported by a team. A litmus test for whether an app is production is if you actually need mypy, pyright, jedi, to effectively work on the repo.

Python is great for single developer experience and going fast as a single developer. I use it every day, willingly, in jupyter notebooks. But at scale there are no success stories. You are zoomed in on the present success of "engineering miracles" and ignoring the big picture that the application would have moved faster if they had the foresight to choose a typed language.

Hence, why i'm saying be warned on following the path of mypy+black+pyright+ruff+etc., since you will be doomed to patching on top of a fundamental flaw of the language.

I highly recommend to avoid Python for production apps especially if it is your free will (and not a matter of refactoring or rewriting existing mistakes).

I think we need a new take on that phrase, something like "ignorance of the law must not be a reasonable defence" — when the law is too complex for most people to understand, it is vulnerable to capricious enforcement, malicious compliance, and unwitting everyday violations being held against the politically undesirable.

Not only do I have absolutely no idea how to get from here to there, I also assume the degree of simplification I desire — to the point that normal people know what's going on most of the time — is the legal equivalent of saying "Twitter doesn't need 6000 employees because Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facebook by himself in college" in a software engineering context, and wrong for much the same reasons.

I don't find the surprising. Unseating ARM will take more than just having an available RISC-V chip. It's similar to announcing a Linux OS and expecting Microsoft stock to be affected.

It requires manufacturing and adoption in the minimum 100,000s and more likely millions before ARM will probably be affected.

Also, everyone one is focusing on how ARM will adapt/capture part of the AI market.
To be fair, you also need to account for consumption when you make the machine do something. The TDPs for these machines are in the 25-35W range, and hitting 50W does not seem unreasonable. You of course won't be running that the entire time. The larger SFF machines with 65W TDPs will go way above that.

An orange pi 5 uses 7.5W under full load, 3.3W idle in comparison.
Interesting idea, but wouldn't you be better off creating abstract categories and then assigning/verifying where they go at tax time? Line numbers can change from year to year.
> Why do you find it suspicious? Not only have the Americans not been able to do it, but neither have the Japanese, the Koreans, the Germans, the Italians, the French, the British, or the Chinese. Since whomever was able to do it would be able to disrupt the market and gain more sales, I'm thinking it can't be done.

Any auto maker could quite easily improve the efficiency of their fleets by reducing the size of their passenger vehicles (especially large SUVs and pickup trucks).

It's not a tech question. No R&D involved. They just need to market their smaller vehicles as cool and stop marketing their large vehicles so aggressively.

The reason they want to avoid this is that they currently make better margins on larger vehicles, so they just push the environmental costs of such inefficiency out to the rest of the public and call it a day.

In a sane regulatory framework those large vehicles would be taxed dramatically more due to the damage they cause to the environment, and the auto makers wouldn't be so addicted to them.

Huh. This is an incredibly generic announcement. If "GNOME Foundation" were replaced by "Gates Foundation" or "National Endowment for the Arts" it would still make sense. It had never occurred to me that open-source foundations might become non-profits first and foremost, with the actual work that they do more of a "backend" concern, but that seems to me to be the case. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and indeed non-profits might be forced into this narrow style of existence by laws and regulations. But it makes me worry that there might be a disconnect between the people running the non-profit and the actual users of the project. This is a "Linus Torvalds uses a macbook" moment, for me.

That all said, congrats to the GNOME Foundation and Holly, and I hope you accomplish whatever good deeds you set out to.

On a more serious note, ChatGPT has made made me a much more productive person. Recent example where it helped me a lot in getting an understanding of a new topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37622335 - Even when it's making a fair amount of mistakes, it can be like a personal tutor who points you into the right directions when you're stumbling around in an unfamiliar field. Sort of like a much smarter search engine.

True, the vendor lock-in remains even when it's cross-platform (as in OS platform).

This sort of underscores the weakness of RPi as a complete computer:

A complete computer is at least somewhat hardened against ESD and what not, has onboard storage of some description, and isn't severely throttled from a power standpoint.

I like RPis and similar for rapid prototyping if I know I need GPIO control, but if you don't, there are better machines out there, at similar price points.

>If you don't have any free will, you're not "deciding" anything. "Deciding" implies that you have choices, and that is just what you do not have. Right?

Not in the free will sense. It is a decision in the sense that when presented two or more options, I take and action and select one based on my preferences. Free will isnt required to take an action when presented options. I can program a robot to go towards the light, and then put it in front of a light and dark hallways. It doesn't need free will so select/choose/decide to go down the one with the light.

>Of course they don't. But they don't blame it in the same way they'd blame a person who intentionally set their house on fire, or even a rat that chewed wires and caused a fire. The person would be imprisoned, and the rats would be exterminated. Neither of those makes sense unless there's free will involved.

I think that depends a lot on the person assigning blame. I think both of those make perfect sense. If the rats were robots with no free will, I would still want them exterminated because they are destructive robots that chew wires. If some arsonist lit my house on fire, I might still want them improsoned. Not because they chose to commit arson, but because they are an arsonist. They are just another destructive robot, like the rats, or the water heater. Fix, replace, and sometime make an example for the other destructive robots.
I don’t understand how buying a machine with a legally already installed copy of the program on it could ever get you into trouble.

Also, with an old machine like that it’s better to keep the machine offline anyways.
Not necessarily superfluous. It does sort of approach an ideal of picking an application template from a MadLibs catalog and specifying the words for the blanks. I assume something like that goes on anyway, not every doc would be typed from scratch but pasted from a catalog of snippets. However, I expect that attorneys and accountants want the full explication on record.

ML will also take on the task of reading these documents, so you won't have to if you don't want to.

> Is it money or something else?

Some people might argue that it is a hollow phrase to make OpenAI sound more important than it is. ;-)

On the other hand: since we are, of course, nearing the AI singularity, we are in the situation where we cannot even predict what will have value in the coming future - will it be money, or will it be some completely alien concept that no one today can even imagine? Luckily, OpenAI is already prepared for this kind of future by its capability to capture the light cone of value.

Ask HN: I found that I often have a lazy day after productive day
I study at college. Getting my degree in Data Analytics. I study programming almost every day and as many students I also work part time. But in the last 6 months I found that I often live in a cycle where I have a productive day and the next day is lazy. So, I find it super unattractive to do anything. Then it repeats again and again.
Have you ever experienced something like this? What would you recommend me to do to get out of this cycle?
P.S. I push myself to do stuff on the bad days to gain that ‘work flow’. But it doesn’t feel like it helps me. Because of low energy levels on lazy days I do things slowly, I can’t concentrate on things and so on.
I don't know what you did to get yours idling that low. My 800 i5-9500t idles at 9w. I took out the flex io module & wifi card, and make sure nvme has "spin down" but still nowhere near that low.

I had some Acer chromeboxes that would do 4.5w easy without any tuning or setup, and they used pretty low end dyal-core i3's from just barely before the i5-9500t. Generally I don't think servethehome finds many tiny mini-pcs below 7w.
Money section:

"Moxley said they were told they were working for a U.S. company based in California, a story that later turned out to be untrue. It was really just a ruse to impress the workers and the entire community — they even had the mayor at the opening — that they were some fancypants American company.

Moxley said being a fake executive has become a lucrative source of income for expats living in China. Though, sorry ladies, this is China after all — they’re only hiring men.

Moxley said he knows a half dozen men who’ve done this type of work, and since he wrote an article about his experience in The Atlantic magazine, dozens more have written to him sharing their experiences. He was recruited by a friend of a friend — a headhunter for white guys in suits, if you will — but said sometimes you can also find ads in the local classifieds for this type of work."

If you share the evidence you're referring to, perhaps I could come up with alternative language to reflect that.

It sounds like you prefer to go for punchier language at the expense of technical accuracy. That's a valid choice to make in certain circumstances (advertisers and political campaigns do it all the time), but you just have to be aware that you will lose some people when you make statements like that.

It's claiming someone cheated when that person did not cheat.

They kind of do need to though, because otherwise they punish the innocent. Which is bad. Regardless of whether or not they threaten you with it ahead of time.

How is that supposed to work with existing games? There are games where the developers no longer even exist but people still play them.

Sorry, I probably got carried away and ended up not making myself understood.

I'm fine with the rules as they are for determining who is recognized to vote.

My intentions were for increasing participation in the demographics which are currently legitimate but are being kept out by external factors (they don't have child minders, they can't take a day off work, ie. the poor), or choosing by themselves to keep out of the process (it's lame to vote, all choices are the same, I have better things to do, ie. the young). You can't have a true democracy if these classes of people are underrepresented in your vote.
The more I mess with SBCs the more I lean towards this method.

> That and pushing evidenceless delusions like the trans issue are the only flaws with the left right now.

The reason they push this is because there's a particularly nasty streak of misogyny on the left, where they'll completely disregard any negative impact on women in favor of whatever benefits men.

So like the trans issue is mostly about men (who want to be women, or claim that at least) demanding and gaining access to women's spaces. Then there's the policy of trying to legitimize sex work, which basically just harms women for the sexual benefit of men. Also there's the whole issue of uncritical support for Islam, despite it being the most horribly misogynistic religion out there.

For those of us leftists who aren't misogynists, it's a real uphill battle having to deal with these assholes, especially when they try to claim that their beliefs are 'progressive' despite being anything but that, and that anyone who disagrees is doing so because of 'hate'. It's very frustrating.
The Thing About PHP
Modifying the buffer returned by getenv() seems like a terrible way to write back a value, because you could only replace it with a string with equal or shorter length. One of the problems setenv() solves is allocation.

It's important to note the difference between reentrant and thread safe. The most obvious implementation of getenv(), which would just loop through environ(7) and do a bunch of strncmp, can safely be re-entered, in that you could interrupt it and call it again and it would produce no ill effect. It just can't be overlapped with writes.
Don't worry about the money - given that you are presumably under a billion years old, and I am sure you are one of the top billion most remarkable people on earth, you surely deserve a spot!
With math, the hard part is not to remember, but to understand it in the first place. Once you understand it, remembering is easy (because understanding is placing things within the whole context of your mind), but just being able to flawlessly recite the definition will not help you understand it at all.

I think a lot of people just cannot come to terms with the fact that mathematics is inherently difficult, and being good at it is not just a matter of memorization. For example, I often see people complain about mathematicians using arcane notation, as if it was the notation that was preventing them from understanding what’s going on, when in reality it is just lack of understanding of underlying concepts and experience with arguments being put forward.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend one that doesn't have mainline kernels. But Pine64 does good work on getting stuff upstreamed. The RK3399 used in the PinePhone Pro, the Orange Pi 4, Rock 4, and other boards has proper mainline support. I'm also a fan of the open sourced GPU drivers for that SoC done by the panfrost team that has desktop OpenGL support (not just the ES stuff).

Pine64's QuartzPro64 board uses the same RK3588 in the Orange Pi 5 Plus and Rock 5B, and they're working on upstreaming support for that: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/QuartzPro64_Development#Upstrea...
