Yeah, it's easy to forget that humans themselves are pretty amazing technology. You can program them with relatively vague instructions using natural language, they come with built in general-intelligence so you can delegate things for them to figure it out and expect them to adapt their instructions according to their situation, and they come with amazingly precise and dextrous arms. They generally cost under $150k/unit/year for most manual applications and you pretty much know what you're getting up front vs hardware/software purchased off the shelf, not to mention the capital cost of acquiring one is pretty low because they already exist and just need to be hired.
That's a lot to ask of an undergrad

I believe that the fact that tcl integrates so well with UNIX is exactly the reason why industry doesn't like it. They want to invest in languages and technologies that can work seamlessly in commercial OSs like Windows and macOS.
I’m guessing it is because devs might need to have one version of the engine installed per project.

Game devs are probably more interested in having everyone on the release they plan to ship than in continuously updating to the newest version of each dependency.
Depends on who you are.

For most people, yes it is quite expensive. If you are looking at techies specifically, it is still affordable.

For typical knowledge jobs or skilled labour jobs, it is affordable as well if you pair up with someone.
What are you talking about? Coziness? Are you one of those people you bought a house in the 2010s and are now well positioned to cash in and live a life of comfort with 500$ mortgages while homes out there are near a million dollar. Because then it would make sense.

Problem with Canada is the cost of living is too high. And there is more money if you move south. Easy. A job in US would easily pay you twice if you are in tech. Why would you want to live in Canada? Oh did I say the taxes. For a millennial,ife is way more harder.
It's definitely not the case.

Canada has a cost of living crisis, and an entire generation has been priced out of the possibility of owning a home.

One can survive better than in the US at the extremely low end, and being sick won't kill or bankrupt you.

But nobody is living a "comfy" life without busting and hustling.
It is a lie that we tell people "your compute is offloaded to the cloud" until now. User-centric heavy compute in the past 20 years simply don't happen in "the cloud". Monetization and engagement tricks yes (ads bidding, behavior analysis, friend / content recommendations, content recompression), but not user-centric ones.

When I used it, we certainly used it as a game engine. In fact I'd say one of its bugger flaws at the time was that it was less capable graphically than more industry standard engines. Seems like it's catching up in that respect.

It was very easy to use if you're familiar with standard dev tooling. Nothing like Unity, but if you know how to use an IDE, you were basically ready to roll.
Interesting that Tcl uses Fossil for their development, I wonder how many projects out there are using it instead of Git/GitHub.
What a joke.. it's hard to believe this level of stupidity , it might just be malice (a pretext to justify raising interest rates and increase unemployment)

The political branch of the government does not control interest rates, nor have any say in them. The Prime Minister cannot raise or lower interest rates.

This is the same in most western democracies, as such things cannot be left to political control.

I've seen an interesting shift post-COVID where (remaining) ops workers are often more coordinators of / responsible for their area of responsibility.

As of Volta, they have independent PCs with a warp optimizer that dynamically groups threads with the same program counter, so branches aren’t nearly as bad as they used to be.
Those university rankings are rubbish. Sure, they tell you MIT and Stanford are one of the best schools in the world; like anyone would need a ranking for that. Those rankings not only consider teaching quality to be the sole factor, but also infrastructure, research output, financial status, and degree of internationalization. It is as gameable as gacha game rankings.

For more sobering examples: Universiti Malaya (UM) and City University of Hong Kong ranks higher than Brown University. University of Copenhagen, University of Waterloo, and Rice University are all outside of top 100, so I guess we can call them OKish (all according to QS 2024).

Boggling that he rolled over, given how rare it is for such apologies to do anything other than cement the public opinion of guilt and get the speaker flogged out even with the apology.

We'd all want to face the firing squad with a cigarette and our heads held high rather than begging for our lives, but groveling is by far the empirically more common outcome.

I wonder if he regrets the apologies more or the original statements.
The language should make it impossible to access x through the stack unless the programmer goes out of their way to perpetrate fraud. It's fair for the optimizer to assume that fraud hasn't been perpetrated.

If it's easy to overflow integer addition, then that must be regarded as an accident. Assuming absence of accidents is a poor default in ways that assuming the absence of fraud isn't.

First make it so that perpetrating integer overflow is inconvenient, so that the programmer has to go out of his way to request it. If that has been done, then sure, blindly assume that i + 1 is greater than i.
Aye, I like to think of entrepreneurs as extreme investors. They are investing their time and effort in the expectation that there will be significant returns in the market.

The Canadian entrepreneur problem is the TSX problem: it's a struggle to convince oneself to invest in Canada, because generally the returns are lackluster. Rail, Banks, Oil and Gas are the consistent winners, all well-connected and deeply rooted, and rare is the startup that becomes a star on the TSX.

It's not that there isn't enough starving and unemployed talent, it's that there's something about Canada that suffocates and debilitates small and medium companies.

>"In many multi-threaded algorithms, a thread writes some data and then writes to a flag that tells other threads that the data is ready. This is known as a write-release. If the writes are reordered, other threads may see that the flag is set before they can see the written data."

This is why we have things like WaitForSingleObject and many other that deal properly with the chance of reordering and other concurrency related issues. All is fine with the reasoning on CPU, OS, Compiler and my own level. One just have to understand what is going on and know the tools. Those who are setting boolean flag to indicate the data is ready should not be programming for modern CPU's and have a basic knowledge first.

It often suffices to find one remotely triggerable unsafe memory write in a huge executable to achieve RCE.

Memory safe would be 0% unsafe.
Also what I forgot to mention is that the back of the Leap is flexible like the even more expensive than that Aeron chair: the Embody. So basically you get a substantially better chair than both the Aeron and the Embody for a better price. I feel Herman Miller is coasting a bit on the Aeron being so iconic.

Who's saying that lady's job is bullshit just because it can be automated? There is real value in paying some up front cost in detection/monitoring/validation of data to prevent mistakes. Just because software engineers would consider her job "beneath" them because they could do it faster or better does not make it not worth doing.

There are mega-efficient factory farms in Nebraska that are immensely productive per-human involved, but that doesn't mean what hobby farmers in Connecticut or subsistence farmers in Africa are doing is bullshit.

I think "bullshit jobs" are less of a thing than people believe. It's just that people devalue assembly-line or cog-in-machine work, even when they're the ones doing it - especially in the US where we grow up wanting to be a unique success story like an entertainment celebrity or rich entrepreneur and so that kind of work is antithetical to our idea of a successful person. Fact of the matter is, machines needs cogs, and we don't have an infinite capacity to replace human cogs with automated ones.

Most clipboard managers don't store to disk but in memory, AFAIK anyway.

And your link just shows some programmatic access? How do I access that as a user when I press Ctrl+C? I suppose it's "useful" for things like password managers, but since anything can read the clipboard anyway it's a very limited protection. If something is so sensitive that you're using that special programmatic way of storing it then you should be using the clipboard but an actually secure mechanism.
For anybody lacking context, ie. those outside Australia, for example,

* Australia has much the same area as mainland USofA (ie. it's big) and spans from the tropical equatorial (northern Australia) to much closer to the south pole (Tasmania).

* Pre colonial territories looked something like: https://mgnsw.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/map_col_high...

* Geographic landscapes include: Coastal, Rainforest, forest, river, and desert.

There was (and still remains in some parts of Australia) a wide range of traditional lifestyles, the Murray river (and south western australia, and elsewhere) had extensive multigenerational fish traps - now largely destroyed for paddleboat navigation back in the day.

I've heard Dark Emu has deficiencies, I can't say I've ever read it. There are other books that address pre colonial aboriginal living, pay attention to place and landscape and avoid generalising across a large landmass.

That is one badass-looking skeleton! I’d buy one too, if I owned a house to put it in. Then I’d host a Halloween party for my friends.

Last time I decorated at home for Halloween was a few years ago, when I was studying in university and sharing a house with some other people. Our budget was pretty low, so we didn’t have any fancy skeletons. But we did have spiderwebs, and some pillows wrapped in black plastic bags to look like a body that we hung in the ceiling. Not sure anyone else could even tell what it was supposed to be :p but it was a nice party with quite a few people, and music and booze :D
Interesting, but could be jumping to conclusions. There could have been other, more recent floods or supernovas or whatever captured by these legends. We are talking about a very long broken telephone game and it's inevitable that some details would get mixed up.
> Say I make a video and for some reason use genAI to depict nationalities. It has to be a single person so I can't have it generate a group photo of all of Nigeria's 300 ethnic groups, so how do you display diversity in a picture of a single person?

In a sense, you can't display diversity in a picture of a single person, unless you want the AI model to produce "a person with characteristics of many Nigerian subgroups" rather than "a single Nigerian person" in response to the prompt "a Nigerian". Would it be a significant problem to the purpose of your video to show a member of a particular ethnic group and explain that it was a coincidence if someone asks about it? Additionally, if you really want to represent 300 ethnic groups in a single image, then you might still get complaints from people who won't recognize their minority group in an image of "generic Nigerian", which I'm interpreting in your case as "a person with characteristics of 300 Nigerian ethnic groups".

> Now if my video happens to be the one to blow up on the internet for some reason then the rest of the country probably won't be happy that that specific group was used to represent them as a whole.

> In that sense using the stereotype is the fairest way since everyone is equally misrepresented.

This idea of "fairness" is problematic in my opinion. I would not want to be in your position if something like this were to happen to you. However, pleasing many ethnic groups by generating an approximation of an entirely fantastical "person who represents 300 ethnic groups" (the relevant alternative being an approximation of a more realistic "person who represents 1 ethnic group") isn't fair to you. You shouldn't be at fault if Nigerian viewers jump to conclusions about whether you are favoring a specific minority group. You shouldn't be at fault if non-Nigerian viewers unfamiliar with multiple Nigerian ethnic groups take the image you used as representative of "Nigerian" as a whole.

Disclaimer: I'm not even slightly familiar with the social relations between Nigerian social groups. If certain Nigerian groups think of each other with dehumanizing hostility the way some Han Chinese people think of Uyghur Chinese people, then I apologize for being insensitive.

Titles have value. Two people with same pay, their rank in the company and relative progression in their career is determined by title. Arguably titles can even trump pay. Would you take the title of CxO even if we leave your total comp the same? Many people would say yes, if only to get it on the resume, spend a couple years with it, and jump laterally to shore up the comp aspect. I use title CxO as extreme example but same behavior applies to any senior leadership position at least.

Give me a break. You're suggesting that the other drugs that are sold by drug dealers are bad, so ketamine must also be bad. Where the hell else would you buy it?! Fifteen years ago people said the same things about weed, along with the brain damage and negative effects it supposedly brought to users. Now you can buy your weed legally in a shop that looks like an Apple store. Your argument is the regurgitation of decades of War on Drugs propaganda. Ketamine hasn't even been illegal in the US for half of its nearly seventy year history.

> Does he have grounds to sue?

This is a good question because “sue” and “convince a jury” are used interchangeably. It is a good thought experiment because if we treat the act of filing a lawsuit and the act of winning one as the same thing, this does make the outcome of this trial proof positive of reverse sexism.

Some kooks might say “in America you can sue anyone for anything and your chance of winning depends on myriad factors” but that is just a distraction. One woman won one case, so it stands to reason that we must ask if the system is set up so no man can win any case.
Understanding Linux File System
Yes, I stand corrected, the M.52 not the M.1

Late and postwar co-operation between the US and UK involved much reneging by the US. Nuclear weapons, V2 rocket research and afterburning jet engines come to mind.

Some US loans to the UK were contingent on them abandoning commercial aviation development post-war. The UK did not do this. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the UK reneged on WW1 loans from the US in 1933.
> So they root against it because they want the whole thing destabilized to a point where people are incentivized to make and try alternatives.

This just hasn't ever happened with a platform large enough to cater to normies. Everyone hates Facebook but they are still using it. A normie userbase is highly domesticated and will accept all sorts of abuses. Only platforms catering to mostly technical users are susceptible to this kind of user revolt, as seen with the Freenode story.

In this light, even as someone generally opposed to regulation, I can support government initiatives to undermine network power. Let's call it "tyranny of the network."
When you say “transfer money to discretionary” for example, is that a category in your budget or a separate account?

I’ve never had YNAB double up a transfer.

Also, capital gains - not sure what the issue is there either. Add a transaction and categorize it to “Ready To Assign”. Works great.
> It's about replacing one global lock with finer grained synchronization primitives

Not really, no. The finer grained synchronization primitives are (a) already available in Python, and (b) necessary even with the GIL for reasons I've given elsewhere in this discussion.

What nogil does is enable multiple threads to run Python bytecode at the same time, so that CPU intensive operations in Python can be parallelized without having to use multiple processes. Python objects that are accessed from multiple threads will have to be guarded with synchronization primitives under some circumstances where, in principle, they don't need to be guarded now (operations that only take a single bytecode), but in practice I don't think that will make much difference. The big issue, as has been mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, is C extension modules.

Ask HN: Local Mac Wysiwyg HTML Editor? (for “Lo-fi” website)
Hola!

After futzing with static site generators, and markdown/Obsidian publishing pipelines. I’m trying to get into writing - and making it part of a daily flow. I’ve really wanted to like using Obsidian, but I’m not a huge fan of the desktop app, and the mobile app takes too long to open - I’d like to try something else.

I want to take a swing at a simple folder of HTML files, which I rsync/SFTP to AWS S3. I’m posting how-to articles, blogs etc.

I’m looking for somewhat of a “lo-fi” solution. Local app, Not-cloud based, open-source preferred. I thought there was a VS Code plugin, but haven’t found it. I’d like to editing experience to be similar to editing Google Doc - as opposed in writing markdown/html tags. I frequently copy my notes into email, or exporting as PDF. An HTML doc is pretty good for that.

I was hoping to find an OSS version of Dreamweaver or something like that a but haven’t found it.

What do you suggest? I’d love to maintain the Obsidian-like cross linking ability… for now, I’m thinking to just put the HTML cross links in manually (unless you have better ideas)

Thanks!

Here's my ethical defense of eating meat.

Everyone and every thing dies, and in the larger scheme of things it matters not one bit. I'll make peace agreements with others where I see a benefit, and if I can trust that the other sees enough benefit to hold up his end of the bargain. Other than that, I see no reason to not participate fully in the full range of barbaric behavior the universe allows. Don't blame the player, blame the game. There is no referee who watches over to pass judgement either way.
