That's concerning; if we're forcing people into each others space, we should at least prevent them from killing each other.

I've been using Prosemirror on LegendKeeper for 5 years now. It's a challenging library to use, but there's very little you can't do with it. Chasing down cross-platform bugs is a nasty business though.
I asked the same question in one of the previous threads. Was told that most likely Flash player includes too much licensed third-party code that it would be too much work, if at all possible, to strip it out or relicense it for open-sourcing.

At least all the relevant specifications are freely available from Adobe themselves.

Shortening the copyright to something sensible like 5 years would've been nice too. Or better yet, require an exponentially increasing tax every year for copyright to be maintained.
That is also covered by new C++ attributes, namely [[assume(expr)]].

Thank you, I believe you are right. I did try to make a race condition happen using += and am having a hard time. Here's my code

import threading

i = 0

def test():
global i
for x in range(1000000):
i += 1

threads = [threading.Thread(target=test) for t in range(20)]
for t in threads:
t.start()

for t in threads:
t.join()

assert i == 20000000, i

Presumably the assert should fail sometimes but I haven't been able to observe that.
Usually companies don't so this because of legal risks - ie. Some of the libraries they used perhaps they didn't license in a way that allowed opensourcing.

A law change could fix this. Ie. A new antique software preservation law could enable any software be opensourced, yet prevent any lawsuits relating to any actions taken under that law. The law could give extra incentives too, for example requiring that any software ever sold commercially either be archived in perpetuity, or opensourced. Legally archiving something forever is expensive, so many will opt to opensource it.

I find this to be an odd take on a VC forum. It’s obviously marketing and mission branding, which is only natural in an age where we as employees flock to noble missions. I work in an investment bank as an example, but our investments go into building/running/improving green energy plants, so while our main mission is to make investors richer we do it by building a better world.

I’m not sure I would’ve marketed it exactly this way. But this is because I spent almost a decade in the Danish public sector and I know how revolutionary long term storage will be for public recording. Right now we spent a very high amount of resources on the maintenance of data records that are rarely accessed but are important to public history, accountability and many social sciences. If you could sell those recording organisations a medium that didn’t need near constant maintaining it would free up a lot of resources. Still, maybe it’s a good choice for a company mission considering my earlier points as this tech will essentially sell itself. If it works as well as it’s sold in this article.

In the content of hacker news, however, why wouldn’t you expect this to be meant to make its investors money?
Systime, a DEC VAR in the UK who notoriously got sued for copying circuitboard designs also got done like a dinner for flogging knock-off Vaxen to the USSR.

Around this time, british and european telco industry was trying to flog digital phone exchanges into the russian market. The ITAR regs (or their predecessors) got waved at them and the sale was denied. Lo and behold, ROLM (either by then or shortly after an IBM affiliate) got the sale.
I think there are may be some misconceptions here. There's always a schema. It's about flexibility and heterogeneity of the schema shape and evolution over time
The initial landing would have been successful, assuming German air superiority and an actual will to execute it, of course. There's simply not enough time for the Royal Navy to interrupt the landing unless they're already assembled so close to the beachhead that they'd risk getting taken out before D-Day by the Luftwaffe. Also, the landing would have involved plenty of paratrooper and airborne infantry as a first wave.

The big question would have been resupply. Germany didn't have the mulberry harbors and thus would have been forced to capture a port and ferry supply and reinforcements through it. That's when the Royal Navy could have run interference and I have no idea how that would have turned out.

So in the end, I think that the Royal Airforce saved the island.

Tbh I see the opposite. Try not cheerleading EV's, and point out that yes, while they bring some advantages overall the 'progress' is incremental rather than revolutionary, and you'll get branded a 'Petrol addict' or an 'oil shill' on HN.

My nr.1 beef with cars is the noise pollution and the excessive space taken by them. Neither of those are changed by EV's. (An EV makes just as much noise above 35 km/h, and now they have them even making fake noises below that speed).

I've been in plenty of companies with diagrams and universally they were incomplete, not that informative or helpful, typically outdated, and kind of obvious. That's because they are typically rush jobs exactly because the best people that could be doing these diagrams have way more important/urgent/valuable things to do.
The problem is that these products often used third-party proprietary components. So it often isn't possible to open-source it without pruning large parts of the codebase which is expensive and makes the released code much less useful.
Not that obvious, how do you coordinate people from several of teams working on it?

On Windows, you can still run old versions of Flash no problem. On macOS, however, it's more complicated because all those versions are 32-bit. On an M1 Mac you would be better off setting up a Windows VM and running Flash in that. On Intel you can install macOS Mojave, the last one with 32-bit support, on a separate partition.
Flash died so Ruffle can live. <3
Even transient probiotics provide benefits too. Even when killed by stomach acid they trigger certain beneficial pathways. Many, perhaps most, traditional diets from around the world featured some live-culture fermented dish as a staple. Likely our bodies evolved to expect large daily exposure to certain healthy bacteria, and societies that ate live cultures with those bacteria would have better health.

Linux has become a standardized tool that is pretty simple to use.
Linux used to be cumbersome with a high barrier to enter, now it is common and simple to use. Some of Linux's incredible innovations have been replicated by competitors. There are now lots of classes about Linux. Windows feature have also become more competitive with Linux features. You don't need to dual boot a PC to use Linux. You don't need to freak out about the refresh rate of the monitor, or build a custom knoppix instance for a kiosk machine, with cramfs and unionfs manually compiled into the kernel. (windows didn't have an easy to install kiosk built into the OS) Instead of ext2, or ext3 (vs fat32) you can now use NTFS.
The Linux kernel was way more stable compared to XP. Starting with Vista, when the graphics driver crashed, the OS just reloaded the driver instead of BSOD. The supported hardware for windows has also increased dramatically. (ARM processors, embedded, etc.)

At the same time that Windows was making inroads, Java, Apple, and Android have made significant inroads in their own ways.

Overall, linux has become more user friendly (reducing the learning curve); training has become common, and multiple companies have become more competitive with Linux. This has reduced the demand for less structured training of LUGs.
I had dismissed it based on its trailer but maybe that was too rash. I’ll definitely give it a chance based on your recommend here. Thanks!
Exactly and the reason I asked is usually when you hear this perspective it's a misconception of what the relational model is -- eg the link you shared describes an internal relationship within the table that is described first and foremost -- this is distinct from what the poster above and many others believe it is when they talk in terms of jargon of related tables "like users, post, and comments" and assume that's what the relational data model is.

"My data is relational" is generally a misunderstanding of the terms

it isn't secret plans for war that are the concern but civil unrest. the problem is that you can't legislate peaceful coexistence. you have to actively encourage it through open conversation between the different groups.

we need more interreligious and interpolitical dialogue at every level of society. we need to actively encourage everyone to listen to the concerns of others. this doesn't happen by itself. it requires the creation of offline spaces and forums open to everyone where people can meet and interact and are invited and encouraged to do so without prejudice.

It would be nice if Excel had a builtin "double bookkeeping" feature: given a formula, ensure results are also calculated or accounted for in another place.

It would be cumbersome to always have it enabled, so it could certainly be disabled by default. But Microsoft could market the feature with suggestive tooltips.

One example is if I have the fornula `=A1+B1` in cell C1, I can go to a separate worksheet and generate a constraint like `=MUST(W1!C:C<1337)`; then Excel would flag any rows where the calculation is false (≥1,337).

Of course, this kind of goes into treating derived cells as constrained types, but it seems sanity is achieved with the easier checks.

Constraints or properties are nice in that they are not unit tests; they could be added at the "moment of instantiation" like an object constructor--but in this case, the violation occurs as a post hoc check. It has to happen first.

You might say, "I always triple-check my models and ensure worksheets are equal in multiple ways." Maybe it's possible to do it already. Sometimes, quality is about introducing frictive utility with minimal overhead.

The problems solved are usually not handled with only with an integer primitive, but hand in hand with a domain component that makes us pause and go, "Okay, I guess a person's age won't be MAX_VALUE or negative."
I felt the first season primarily mimicked The Soul of a New Machine. Taken from that angle, I found it quite good.

> Unger said the reason for choosing this particular server and software is that according to the World Wide Web Consortium, it is more secure than its counterparts. According to the Consortium's published reports on its findings, Macintosh does not have a command shell, and because it does not allow remote logins, it is more secure than other platforms. The report also said the Consortium has found no specific security problems in either the software or the server.

That’s a rather dubious conclusion if based on that criteria.

I'm sorry -- how expensive do you think chickens are? In fact, if everyone had them, they'd most likely be freely shared. You seem very out of touch with your own species.
No disrespect intended, but somehow you seem to expect others to solve your problems.

If you want to see talks about that "critical topic right now for" you, or even work done in that area, the surest way to get that is to put in the effort yourself.

Maybe the shout-out on this platform encourages somebody (e.g. you?) to present on the subject next year - that would be a win in my book.
I've always been unsure where this stuff fits in. Do you make it before your system is built, when its unclear how where all the cards will fall? Or after your system is made and in production and all the warts of reality are present and your graph is not so nice and neat anymore. This seems like an architects picture of things. Close enough to give people the false confidence to think they understand things, but not close enough to be of use to anyone actually working in the salt mines.

For the record, that is exactly how it did not happen.
That's still very expensive compared to what he said, but I note that he had other reasons.

These are likely range coupled with charge time.

Some can't understand that no, 20 minutes of time (15+ minutes charging plus paying and hookup and so on), to barely 80%, when you can find a free supercharger without route diversion, isn't the same as a 2 minute fillup at the gas station.

It's just not. At all.

EVs are where we are going, and I am confident we'll get there for all usage cases eventually, but right now EVs are not suitable for some.

People need to get over this fact. EVs are not suitable for some.

And that's fine! So what of 20% of the population can't use EVs due to range, and another 40% due to cost. That's what early adopters are for, and the price will come down, range via charge time will get even better, and it will self resolve.

Frankly, if every car changed to EV tomorrow, we'd have blackouts everywhere, and be forced to restart depreciated coal power stations, just to handle all that sudden power demand.

Not to mention the immense cost of new infra, power transfer stations, etc, that needs to be built!

But again, we're doing a gradual rollout. People are switching. We'll get there.

But the comments of GP make me think he gets the ridiculous replies such as "but no you can just..." if he mentions "EVs aren't suitable for me".

The arrogance, and hubris in such replies are astonishing to watch.

You're crossing your eyes instead of distancing them, that's a lot easier for me as well but you should manage to see these kind if stereograms too with some practice.

Simply letting your sight defocus as when you're looking into the void thinking something will probably get you closer; then keep in mind that to see these images you need to make a much more subtle correction than when doing the cross-eyes thing, such that it's actually easy to "bind" to pairs of patterns farther apart than what's needed.

The rest is just like with cross-eyes stereograms, check the borders of the double-image to verify the alignment of your head, and as you get closer to joining the dots strive to get the image back in focus (but of course without moving the eyes).
Adobe worked on it, and even they could not show anything convincing. This was the time when Flash was causing the vast majority of crashes on OS X. Even on Android they could not make it work reliably and it was plagued with security, performance, and overheating issues.

Adobe had stopped trying years before Apple officially stopped caring.

> My nr.1 beef with cars is the noise pollution and the excessive space taken by them. Neither of those are changed by EV's.

I feel like EVs do actually solve part of the noise problem. Yes a EV at speed makes just as much noise as any other car due to tire noise dominating at those speeds. However You've got no idling noises, nor revving noises when taking off. And that's leaving out edge cases like how they introduced electric city buses here and those make wildly less noise than gas or diesel buses. Never mind the lack of gross exhaust fumes.
As someone who never owned cryptocurrency and frankly never cared that much: could you ELI5 the idea of a Bitcoin ETF? Is it just a vehicle to trade Bitcoin (as in a single cryptocurrency; BTC) on a normal stock exchange? Is it an index-weighted portfolio of BTC and other (e.g. Ethereum)? Does the fund actually own BTC or is it technically a derivative like a synthetic (regular) ETF?
In the US, only marriages are registered with the government. So you can’t really count long-term relationships or even common-law marriages.

This was an Indian owned recruiter firm with offices in California and in India. I work for an Indian IT firm based in the states (remote since Covid but worked in the office for two years).

The Indian recruiting firm were a 2ndary / sub contracted firm by the recruiting firm who had the contract with my employer to find a UX Engineer. It was fishy indeed especially saying I wasn't going to get paid for 30 days yet I forced them to pay me in two weeks for the first check to soothe my worries.

Overall if they are contacting you and only asking normal questions and not ones that ring of scam they could be like the Indian firm and they are fishing for the best candidates to send to their client..the primary contractor.
I've been dealing with silicon vendors (Intel, AMD, some ARM implementers, a couple of other folks) on the subject of open source firmware (as in: GPLv2) for 15 years (as in: tirelessly). I've been arguing against locked boot processes behind the scenes and in public (e.g. https://patrick.georgi.family/2015/02/17/intel-boot-guard/). I held talks at coreboot conferences, even though I despise the spotlight.

That said: 15 years of activity is a lot of work to unpack in "specific terms", so "unspecified terminology" that still provides a rough overview it is.
That doesn’t sound right… maybe per user?
