This is a quite uncharitable view of things. EA utilitiarians aren't spending their life on optimizing numbers, they're trying to use numbers to guide decisions on how to better impact life.

People can follow a value systems and still understand that other value systems exist.

The EA view of things is pretty simple to understand. Given the premise of limited resources, and a belief that all lives are worth the same, how can you best improve human livelihood?

Different people approach giving back to society in different ways. The EA way to approach the above is to crunch numbers and find what they think is the place where their limited resources can have have the largest impact.

My best friend's family does their part by joining their church to volunteer at food kitchens in poorer neighborhoods and hosting fundraisers for various causes throughout the year.

A Vietnamese coworker of mine used to give back by donating to a charity that gave scholarship opportunities to high achieving low income students in Vietnam.

It's not that complex to understand that different people have different value systems and how they view their tribe, people and the world.

And yes I agree that lots of people find people who hold differing views incomprehensible, but that's also normal aspect of humanity and not unique to those in EA.

From political differences, to philosophical differences, to religious differences, to any topic, many people have a hard time comprehending the worldview of others.

You can even just take the perspective from this article. There are a whole swath of people I've known that could not comprehend the idea that someone would be willing to give their kidney to a total stranger. They might understand if its someone the person knows, but a total stranger? Some might say that's insane and irrational behavior.

Lots of people can't see past their own perspectives on things, but I think it's uncharitable to suggest that EA is not just like any other group with some portion of people like that.
True crime is that effeminate males are too shy to come out of the closet...

Women are perhaps the closest distant group that gets undeserved presuppositions thinly-veiled and anecdotal pseudoscience.

The point is that most non-labor intensive jobs don't have such a hard gender preference.
Without the loss of generality, my family tree of Soviet citizens were able to be chemists, engineers, doctors, and now software devs just fine. I fail to recognise what IT or playing chess is different to warrant such a huge discrepancy, something doesn't add up.

The fact that discriminating is short-sighted when it come to employment tells me of a deprecated conceptual model that I doubt can truly be resolved through fixing IT alone,

to be blunt, the problem is old because the actions are ineffective.
Sometimes I’ve thought of creating physical cards or a binder or something like that which would act as a physical representation of my digital ebook library so that I and others could quickly peruse it.

I'm not qualified to weigh in on the merits of the request, but asking a corporation to change something and then throwing in a bunch of legalese about compliance and GDPR seems like an excellent way to guarantee that the poor reviewer of the requests is not going to deal with it, let alone quickly.

At best, they raise it to their internal legal contact. The inhouse lawyer rapidly advises them to not respond in any written or recorded medium. Issue goes nowhere.

At worst, they realize that this is a hairball with "vaguely legal stuff" and decide to review some other issue instead for a more productive and less stressful day. Issue goes nowhere.
Love that. Curious what kind of range did got (I assume not great).

No answer is forthcoming from the VS Code team, because they know you won't like the answer.

Microsoft trawls their[1] endpoints mercilessly for every bit of telemetry that they possibly can, and they go out of their way to prevent customers from disabling this.

Windows 10 or 11 with Office requires something like 200+ individual forms of Microsoft telemetry to be disabled!

Notably:

- They keep changing the name of the environment variables[2] that disable telemetry. For unspecified "reasons".

- They've been caught using "typosquatting" domains like microsft.com for telemetry, because security-conscious admins block microsoft.com wholesale.

- Telemetry is implemented by each product group, which means each individual team has to learn the same lessons over and over, such as: GDPR compliance, asynchronous collection, size limiting, do not retry in a tight loop forever on network failure, etc...

- Customers often experience dramatic speedups by disabling telemetry, which ought not be possible, but that's the reality. Turning off telemetry was "the" trick to making PowerShell Core fast in VS Code, because it literally sent telemetry (synchronously!) from all of: Dotnet Core, PowerShell, the Az/AAD modules, and Visual Studio Code! Opening a new tab would take seconds while this was collected, zipped, and sent. Windows Terminal does the same thing, by the way, so opening a shell can result in like half a dozen network requests to god-knows-where.

[1] You thought, wait... that it's your computer!? It's Microsoft's ad-platform now.

[2] Notice the plural? It's one company! Why can't there be a single globally-obeyed policy setting for this? Oh... oh... because they don't want you to have this setting. That's right... I forgot.

That’s why nuclear is the meta. They’re too scared to use it regularly but it’s perfect. No maintenance and guaranteed power for decades.

The problem with solar is it’s really easy if you have a settler there, they just wipe it. But trying to get a robot to wipe itself means dealing with all kinds of edge cases. What if it’s windy and the wiper snaps off, what if the wiper gets jammed with dust, what if the wiper scratches up the panels.
Functional languages map really well for web-servers as all you're doing is receiving a request, transforming it and sending it back, and that's really what functional programming is all about.

So I ask you, what's the point of using imperative or object oriented languages for web-server applications?

You want to take a bite out of road deaths legislate a vehicle/phone interlink that disables everything but basic phone functions on smartphones while in the confines of a vehicle, then legislate center console infotainment displays out of existence. Miss me with the bullshit "AI drivers will usher in a new era of road safety", you can trap an AV with a fucking ring of salt on the road if you're clever about how it's arranged. :P
They seem to use Stripe for payments. I would probably go there.
For me, the biggest benefit is the dramatically improved environmental profile. You drop a lithium battery in a body of water and besides the potential for some interesting pyrotechnics, you also have a moderately bad environmental pollution situation. I expect the situation to be much better with a sodium based battery.

I wasn't expecting this. I was expecting just a simple post about some errant process or something. What I ended up reading was a digital version of a sherlock holmes novel. Complete with the mouse trap. The use of mitmproxy to intercept and unpack https requests like a russian doll is the most russian solution, and it worked like a charm. Thanks for including the juicy bits that make these discoveries actually worth reading. Also scary that once hoisted, the binary is just transmitting all your data to them.
I also noticed that but have assumed it's because of a change in reporting methods. It's hard to find a forecast that includes the confidence level of a prediction. The bbc weather forecast used to show the % chance of rain for example. Now most apps and websites just show a grey cloud.
I was talking about the App Router coming out of beta 4-5 months ago and we already have a new version today.
iRobot still sells all the parts for their old, non-cloud vacuums if you don't mind buying used and doing DIY parts swaps. They're very repair friendly: No special tools required and easy to take apart.
Interesting enough I also ran into something somewhat related with Dell that they were not able to resolve so they ended up working in a replacement from another vendor.

Nonetheless, it is quite interesting what you've built, but as the end user I'm not quote convinced that it matters. Sure you can claim it reduces attack vectors and such but we'll still see Dells and IBMs in the most restricted and highest security postured sites in the world. Think DoD and such. Core/libreboot with RoT will get me through compliance the same.

The software management plane y'all built is the headlining feature IMHO, not so much what happens behind the scenes that the vast majority of the time will not have a fatal catastrophic upstream effect.

>There are plenty of valid criticisms of Oxide -- but that we don't understand our system simply isn't one of them.

That's not what I said. There's a line in the sand that you must cross when it comes to understanding the true nature of the componentry that you're using. At the end of the day, your AMD CPUs may be lying to you, to all of us, but we just don't know it yet.

That is the new allocation size. The new capacity is one character less. The allocation must include space for the trailing 0, which is not a part of the string and is hence not included in the length/capacity numbers.
Not sure if I can just take a pdf(epub..etc) file to a copy shop and just ask them to print the book for me. Wouldn't they be concerned about copyrights?
To be fair if someone comments to me with things like:

I wouldn't respond to them either out of spite
So, what you're saying is, that whether opex or capex models are better or not...depends? That there is no silver bullet, golden gun, one-size-fits-all platitude anyone can post in an HN comment?

If the opex model doesn't work for an organization, that they perhaps just went above that utilization threshold where it doesn't make sense anymore, and would be a potential 0xide customer?
No, but there was an unreasonable one. Microsoft Foundation Classes, which preceded the STL. Originally, Their CString class extended the capacity in such a way that appending one character at a time had quadratic cost.

Have you noticed that MS mostly stopped using EEE, and changed strategy to just ignore rules/laws/licenses, and wait to see what happens? We hear it frequently that "today's MS is not the same as the old MS", but I have my doubts.

This particular one just the latest. But the really big one (IMHO) is the one where they simply started to ignore EFF[0], when they were asking them about the copyright status of co-pilot.
If the court decides against EFF, that will have a lot of effect on the legality and enforcement of most of the OSS licenses (though I'm an armchair-lawyer, not even in the US). Fun times ahead.

[0]: if I remember well, it was EFF, who mentioned that MS stopped responding to them. I have found the lawsuit, but filed by not by the EFF. Google is more useless by the day.
The "original title" is what you type in.
It's not quite that easy. Soil under plantations is easy to deplete at a non-renewable rate. Harvest causes soil compaction and erosion. Post-harvest, herbicides are used extensively to kill weeds that would otherwise fill the void before replacement trees are mature enough to keep weeds out. Is the herbicide being used at a renewable rate? etc etc
Ask HN: What's the easiest way to sell a bunch of SQLite databases online?
I have a small side project I'm working on, the output of which is an ever growing back catalogue of SQLite databases other people might find useful to grab en masse for their own purposes. I provide the latest ones for free; getting the full set costs 1 dollar.

I doubt more than a handful of people will pay on any given day, so I'm thinking I will just put up a link to a Stripe payment and then manually email anyone who pays $1 a link where they can download that day's collected back catalogue. Has anyone done something like this before, at this small scale of a level?

Depending on your sector you can also package restaurant meals, rent/mortgage, laptops - all sorts of stuff.

This means you pay for them from your pre-tax income. There are a bunch of limits and a fringe benefits tax year that ends in March that you have to deal with as part of it though.
Mainly, what is wrong with the statement is that such a program/function which reads forms from a file and compiles them is window dressing around a compiler, not its core.
> It doesn’t matter that the average Chinese has fewer cars. They still need cars, which means public transportation can’t eliminate the problem.

This sounds like the Nirvana fallacy [1]. The dilemma is not about eliminating all cars. It is whether we should invest in public transit which would also reduce noise, pollution, energy usage, or in self driving cars, which won't fix any of those.

The article kind of explains it, but Dick Whittington is mainly a folklore/pantomime[1] character who journeys to London with his cat, and together they solve a big rat problem there and become heroes of the town. A fairy usually turns up at some point. It's mostly fictional (hence the fairy), but it's based on the real-life character of Dick Whittington, who was a successful businessman who eventually became Lord Mayor, and then died without children, bequeathing his wealth to a whole litany of causes, mainly to do with infrastructure.

The Lord Mayor of the City of London requires some knowledge of the City of London, which is a distinct municipality within London itself, like a little enclave entirely within another city. It's historically where most of the financial wealth of the city has been generated, and is run by the Corporation of the City of London, plus a Lord Mayor, which is an elected position with a one-year term length. Today, this role is pretty much entirely ceremonial, I think historically it was less so. If you get elected, you get to do parades and opening ceremonies, and you get to wear a lot of gold chains.

More recently, a Mayor of London position was also introduced to govern London as a whole. This position is a more conventional democratic role, where the Mayor makes a lot of decisions about local issues such as transport or policing. If you get elected to this position, you do fewer parades and typically wear a suit.

There are Lord Mayors of other cities in the UK as well, these are pretty much all ceremonial roles at this point, and pretty much all have a lot of gold chain on them. However, recently Mayors (the conventional, suit-wearing kind) have been introduced in a number of countries as a kind of intermediate locally democratic level of government, above city councils and the like, but below national governments[2].

So:

* Dick Whittington: successful businessman-turned-philanthropist who became a folkloric legend after death.

* Lord Mayor: typically ceremonial role found in a few cities in the UK, including the City of London.

* Mayor: elected administrative role found in a number of regions in the UK, including London.

[1] Pantomime is a British theatre style that is the opposite of mime - it is very loud, there is lots of audience participation, and there's only a small selection of stories that get recycled every year. It's very popular around Christmas, and usually stars some local names and a television soap star or two.

[2] Yes, plural, there are four national governments, because the UK is made up of four nations.

Fwiw, they seem to imply (admit) that you can get precise growth using

s.reserve(n); // precise allocation.
s.resize(n); // doesn't grow.

or

s.reserve(n);
s.append(....); // a fairly robust set of overloads.

That being said... I completely agree that imprecise resize() is unfortunate, and unexpected. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for how I use resize() going forward. (Not a lot, admittedly).

I’ve spent a lot of time in the Balkans, and one interesting real world equivalent to this domain is that a lot of older ex-Yugoslavians, especially ones that went abroad in the 90s, still identify themselves primarily as Yugoslavians and not as Serbians, Croats, etc. Maybe a bit of it is nostalgia, but I think a similar thing might happen if America broke up into separate countries. You’d still have a sizable amount of people that identify more as Americans than as Californians/New Yorkers/etc.
It's not a job if you can turn it on or off at any time you like with zero consequences though.
Interestingly, Kosovo is in multiple organizations that fall under "UN Specialized Agencies" (IMF, World Bank, etc.) and as such should have received a ccTLD over 10-15 years ago as per the UN's rules.

Instead, they have to keep the temporarily assigned .xk which the UN confirmed can never be a permanent ccTLD.

What is going to happen to all .xk sites once the UN finally gets around to publishing the bulletin on Kosovo's country code?

I’ve never tried leaving them at a hotel for an extended period of time (overnight or longer). Also my understanding from the article is that you can ship them from the airport to the hotel, to arrive in the future at your date of arrival - not sure if this is the same as your experience in Dubai but either way, new to me :)
This is deeply fallacious binary thinking.

Take anything you like. A cause, religious group, political party, sports fanbase, etc.

Some subset of each group are generally decent people, who do their best to be good to the people around them, and to live their lives in a generally moral and ethical manner.

Some subset of each group have no interest in morals or ethics, and attach themselves to the group for purely selfish reasons.

Judging the entire group based on the selfish or amoral subset is a logical fallacy of the most basic sort, and is bordering religiosity. This is even more problematic when you look at the kinds of negative EA situations that have (rightly) caused controversy. The high profile big money cases get attention.

If confronted with someone who ascribes to the EA philosophy and by all measurable indicators has done incredibly good things for the world, would you be willing to change your mind?
