This is just completely untenable in reality, you're going to have multiple people jump in during an emergency (how do they know? will they be monitoring every flight at all times?) and potentially rip the controls away from PIC because they, by committee, decided on the spot that they could do a better job?

No one is asking you to eat any intestines... but why common mushrooms, that are abundant, replaced by literally only ONE species?

Your regular store will have 5 types of mushrooms, that are all literally the same mushroom at different stages of maturity. (Agaricus bisporus is typically the ONLY fresh mushroom available at supermarkets in US)
These people say they don't want all this power centralized to certain individuals, will in the next breath claim that government should seize assets after a certain amount. They want centralized control, they just want their preferred political party to be the ones with it.
Given that the Japanese legal system is notorious for only proceeding with charges when the police/prosecutors feel they have an open and shut case (99.8% conviction rate, if I remember), I think they have more to go off of in this case than they’re revealing now. Admittedly this isn’t a normal criminal case, but I’d still expect to see a similar situation here.

It's not just an aesthetic choice. You have people not understanding the layers below on a technical level. It's partly a lack of talent, partly a lack of willingness to make the effort, and in large part just a lack of visibility into anything 2 or more layers down.
How about just not making their career be harmed by taking actions that solve real problems and actually improve the business and industry?
You can have courts and sentences be public (or at least, public enough) while giving people their privacy and keeping their criminal record private (or at least, not publicly disseminated and accessible to random people). It's how it works in most of the civilized world.

There is also an argument that web services should not force you to pay after already pulling you in for free (unless it's explicitly a trial). Obviously this doesn't account for people using a service for free due to a hack of some kind, but there is also an argument that adblocking is not a hack - rather, that it is a "working as intended" feature of the web, and is simply a habit of a subset of the viewerbase, and, crucially, that this is known to YouTube, who chose of their own free will to explicitly allow it for many, many years.
The key results:

> Cascade discovered 12 bugs that produce wrong computations under certain microarchitectural conditions (Uarchvals) in Kronos and VexRiscv

> Cascade discovered 3 bugs that cause hangs in Kro- nos, PicoRV32 and VexRiscv

These are the hard bugs to find in the implementation of the CPU

> Cascade discovered 4 bugs in BOOM and CVA6 that produce wrong output val- ues regardless of the microarchitectural state

These are unacceptable bugs, showing a lack of architectural tests. It means no one ever ran those instructions and checked the result. The community should be able to fix this.
happy it makes you laugh with that lol. how disrespectful.

The real problem is Shopify is not the one who should receive this notice. They should act like a post office and pass it onto their users. Shopify should only do more if the poster does not respond in a reasonable amount of time, or if a court order is obtained. (Or of course the user takes things down). Of course a user responding to leave content up needs to provide their legal contact information so this can go to court.
in my experience, when it comes to picking two out of: quality, cost, or speed to delivery, businesses always choose speed and cost.
I dont' like it, but I just grew to accept that.
The reason why physical engineering seems focused on delivering quality is because of strict regulatory oversight, which for better or worse, we lack in software.
GitHub repo says it's obsolete: https://github.com/geophile/osh
Hi, my thoughts were I would engage an attorney when required if I needed to send a CND. I don’t think that I’ll have any issues getting the trademark registered. It’s a largely obsolete English word but there is nothing similar that’s already registered.

I’m waiting to get the trademark process started before I launch, so little commercial use thus far.
It's done thousands of times every day. Not just the same airline, nearly all airlines are part of the CASS system, which authorizes this.

It was effective against some of the strains and less effective against others. You want to pretend that the vaccine is worthless to the point that you should be allowed to wander around entering whatever shared space while people are still dying of the original strain? No wonder you were "shit on."

To this day one can easily have a discussion even on HN with someone who will tell you that, "nobody with any significant amount of life remaining ever dies of covid, so what's the problem?"

You're not getting boosted out of spite? Great job, that'll show 'em.
He meant approximately half a bit. Base64 uses 64 characters, which means 6 bits per character. 50 characters gives you about 5.64 bits per character. Unlike Base64's 3-bytes-equals-4-characters, that never comes out evenly.

I'm bearish on AI/ML in the customer support space. It's been terribly easy to trick these tools.

Maybe instead of moderation and response, it would function better as a blackbox middleware to the customer support onboarding process. So instead of tackling the problem at the customer level, you use AI/ML to enable your existing support staff to scale their workload.

The picture I have in my mind is a pre-processor for new tickets that would add a series of tags to a support request. That would allow your support staff to be assigned to tags where they specialize. This simplistic implementation would probably integrate into existing service management platforms without having to stand up Yet Another B2B.

Again, this is splitting hairs by pointing to secondary effects and saying "it's more than one thing" when the root cause is singular.
I mostly see bloat created for other reasons. Think about situations like Docker containers replacing single applications (and dragging entire Linux userspace installation with them). Deploying in Kubernetes with its own CNI as well as DNS server and a bunch of other networking-related stuff while the network in your datacenter already does all of that. Packaging the whole Python virtual environment into a DEB or RPM package instead of shipping just the library you want users to install.

This bloat is harder to deal with, on organization level, because people creating it justify it by saving on development effort necessary to make the product leaner. There's no financial incentive to not use Docker for deployment (and spend developer's time ensuring the code works on different platforms with different libraries).

And software industry isn't the only victim of this situation. First time I ever encountered this was in a... church. American missionaries coming to the former Soviet republics would bring with them pocket Bible for free handouts. Since I studied printing, to me this pocket Bible was strange in many ways. It was printed on paper lighter than 20 g/m^2. This was unheard of in Soviet printing industry. If it ever tried to produce such paper it would simply fall apart because they didn't have access to the technology necessary to produce plastics that held this paper together. Because the paper was too thin, it required a lot of "filler" (again, more plastic). And that made it worse for recycling. It was printed using offset machine. Soviet industry didn't print literature using offset machines. They didn't have the technology for making precise high-resolution plates necessary for such printing, so letterpress printing would be the way to do it. But, letterpress makes a noticeable difference in texture of the page, it also pretty much prevents you from using "unorthodox" font sizes, ensuring that the font's author could see exactly how letters are going to look on a page, making the overall experience much more pleasant.

All in all, it was kind of a technological marvel I knew I couldn't achieve with what I had / knew, on the other hand, all this technology was intended to decrease cost at the expense of marginal drops in quality. In truth, at the time, I didn't think this way. I saw the technological marvel part, and didn't notice the drops in quality. The realization came a lot later.
> If you're competent enough to be a pilot you're competent enough to make money other ways

I believe an experienced commercial pilot makes around 200K? If I’m 50 have no professional skills except being a commercial airline pilot, what kind of work do I qualify for that has comparable pay?

> The issue is losing the level of income they make (more than any safety net could pay)

Why can’t this be solved by a tool like insurance? It only needs to cover something like like 80% of the career earnings of people who would be removed for mental health reasons up to the mandatory retirement age of 67, minus early retirement benefits if any.

Unless they are a huge number of pilots that would be removed for mental reasons, it seems affordable to me.
hmmmm... if someone MITMs you the first thing could they 'in theory' just change the key on the host to match the MITM one?
I might be misinterpreting what I'm seeing but I don't see titles on any of them. For instance, on one in southern California, the icon showing the podcast art makes it clear that the title of the podcast is Ridiculous History, but when I tap on it, I only see the episode title and have no other clue to tell me what podcast it actually is that this episode is part of.

Now that I'm describing it in more detail I think what I should have said initially is that I'm looking for the title of the podcast itself, not just the episode title.
Something like https://github.com/finos/perspective ? We use an OLAP(-y) WASM engine to provide query-ability to our data visualization tool, and doing the calculations in the browser is cheaper and simpler than a server-side database for datasets that fit in browser memory.
Yes, because obviously the only possible options are a state surveillance program to flag up any teaching assistants who criticise any aspect of government policy and teaching bureaucracy, or the sort of "free speech absolutism" that concludes that literally nothing a teacher could say could ever render them unsuitable for a teaching job.

No middle ground is possible.
> If the benchmark has any cache misses at all then you also want to make sure everything about the memory configuration is the same, too, for a fair CPU benchmark, right? Number of channels, latency, etc.

No. Adding that memory bottleneck would make it an unfair and worthless comparison. If you are testing the maximum CPU performance then you need to eliminate those bottlenecks, not create them.
There's a third side (as always):

"I was fine with paying for YouTube, but the price has gotten so high that it's unreasonable."

I'm not going to pay YouTube more than I do Netflix, Hulu, Disney, even Spotify. Especially when they're starting to get competition from Nebula, Curiosity Stream, and even TikTok.
Thank you so much for your answer!

> while posting those articles and a Show HN sounds like a good plan and you should definitely do that, what will you do if they all fall flat and get no traction?

You got me. I was planning on giving up. :P

I am in a place where the only cost to switching projects and trying again in three years is the opportunity cost, so because I'm bad at constant marketing, that's what I was going to do if I got zero traction.

If I got only some traction, I'd weigh my options.

I was only going to worry about long-term weekly marketing if the launch went well enough.

Because I'll be frank: I have no idea how to do constant marketing that doesn't bother people or waste their time. If I would waste their time, I'd rather just throw my own time away and switch projects.

> Even if you do rock the HN launch, you're probably going to have the "trough of sorrow"[1] to contend with after

Good blog post, and yes, I agree. I am expecting the trough as I build up the MVP.

It won't be very bright. Warm winters = lots of cloud cover. It's those really frigid days when you need sunglasses to go outside.

The real question, however, is whether El Niño reduces the odds of a February/March polar vortex in Chicago. I think that it does - a little. The overall odds are still probably > 35%

They are too lazy to retype.

There are so many ways you could catch leakers of sensitive information this way. Look at how often government agencies react information in PDFs by writing black blocks over the text.

Note it could be used for authentication in the opposite direction, only accepting text with the unusual spaces in it.

So far as catching the indolent and the ignorant, making an example here or their works wonders.
I had always figured that the point was to reduce food waste since you don't have to keep the shelves in the coolers visibly fully stocked.

But they do suck from a technical perspective and while I used to occasionally grab a case of beer or a cold soda from Walgreens I pretty much avoid it for that now, because the prices are still terrible and now the experience is too.
Both the UWB tracker and the NFC radio can be on even when the device is "off" (although there's settings to change that behavior).

IIRC the baseband can potentially do all kinds of crazy stuff too (no evidence that iphones actually do anything unusual, but perhaps that could change if the government sent a very compelling court order)
I just moved back to Cleveland, and I signed up for Cleveland Broadband (clevelandbroadband.com), which is incredible! I pay $50/mo for 1 Gb/s download and upload speeds with no contract or temporary introductory pricing. The best part is the customer service, which I've only had to use twice while initially setting it up, but it's a direct line to a person who physically came to my place within an hour and was super knowledgeable! We had a lengthy discussion about Ubiquiti networking gear.

I previously had Comcast/Xfinity, which was reliable, but felt absolutely scammy due to constantly changing pricing with multi-year contracts. Talking to a human for basic tasks like upgrading or canceling service was nearly impossible. Apparently their chatbot is capable of these tasks, but I could never get it to work.
> It would probably not be named as such in current times as gender has some baggage these days

Language has always been fluid: from your example of language from simpler times: 'girl' comes from Middle English gerle/girle/gyrle which meant a young person of any gender
Security is indeed an important dimension because it holds the key (pun) for ever more important applications. I agree that a more detailed, like-for-like comparison of software qualities across decades needs to be very careful. Applications have exploded in all domains. But then also the ranks of software engineers and their tools and ability to exchange best practices has exploded.

The trouble with exponential curves is that a small difference in rates can create dramatic discrepancies.
Hey, co-founder of Fern (https://www.buildwithfern.com/) here.

I too am inspired by Stripe's API documentation. Specifically, I like that it:

1. shows the API reference alongside the requests and responses

2. gives code examples of how to use the client libraries (e.g. python, node.js, go, java)

3. is one, continuously scrolling page

---

We built Fern Docs so that for $150/month you can get Stripe-like documentation. You can get started for free. Pay only when you need a custom domain (e.g. your-site.com/docs).

Examples of docs built with Fern:

Add that to the mix...

In a similar vein,

I am not sure when to use `npm workspaces` instead of lerna now? It seems like the answer (for me at least) was "you don't need lerna anymore given recent (past 2 years) NPM updates"

Well, aside from the settings changing with every version and the fact that windows is still vulnerable to a icmp router broadcast attack.

There are issues like the requirement of a microsoft account, there are issues with snapping windows and global hotkeys and every piece of software needing its own bespoke update mechanism (often interrupting you while doing things).

Theres issues with ransomware, theres deep seated issues with the default filesystem which not only has abysmal performance but also does absurd cache things making it behave extremely strangely with even minor bit flips. I have never experienced inaccessible files except on windows.
The permissions system btw requires a damn PhD to understand if you have more than one user on the system.

Or the fact that errors are by default opaque and hidden, the event logger is practically useless both providing no information relevant to the issue and simultaneously far too much information so you drown in irrelevance.

As a power user, windows is about as hostile as it possibly could be.

As a normal user the experience is really unclean, the 17 pop-ups I get when installing and the forced online account are enough, but honestly the weight of the OS is so much: you literally cant even run the thing on a standard spinning drive anymore.
I cannot think of any use of union types in Flutter, if I'm being honest.
I'm not much of a TypeScript developer, but if I understand it correctly, it works quite well there because TS is more structural, where a union is more of a representation of the fields shared by two (or more) types.
I feel like Flutter/Dart just works in a bit of a different manner compared to TS/React Native, and it shouldn't be looked at from the same angle.

Swift and Kotlin also do not have union types, and mobile developers somehow manage without them :D
Add Carroll County, GA to this list. Carroll EMC which covers three counties on the border of Georgia and Alabama overlapping I-20 (all three counties Carroll, Haralson, and Heard) are getting "on pole" fiber provided by the electric company.
I've yet to come across a project where turbo streams aren't the better approach in my day to day. Reduced code, reduced complexity, easy to reason with code that fits inside most people's head. I can't believe all the complexity people go with for a frontend app that isn't much different.
I just don't understand how this has anything to do with the wealth tax. It's not an argument against a wealth tax, it's an argument in favor of a specific implementation: what value we're using to calculate the tax.

> It gets adjusted once in a while

It gets adjusted nearly every year for most people.

> if it's too high you can bring it down

No, you can't. Not really.

Personally, my property taxes are about 2.25% on a appraised value that is about 70% of the actual home value. This sounds great, let's use these numbers for a wealth tax.
My objection to the first argument is that I don't think YouTube adds a lot of value to my life; it's the individual contributors who do. These creators are on YouTube because that's where the audience is and vice versa. I have a lot of problems with Google's stewardship of this dominant position and I don't want to do anything to perpetuate it. The creators who do add significant value to my life I support directly through Patreon and/or through watching them on Nebula, which is a paid video service.
