Poland accepted over 1.5 million refugees in 2022. The author of this piece obviously has no idea what they are talking about.
there's no need to talk about banning stuff. the root is not existence. the root is whether those who are at the top or above people give reasons and ways to justify actions that are obviously and unarguably wrong, immoral, unethical and go against humanity, civilization, individuals.

> Right, I'm saying that's a rarer privilege than being able to do leetcode or similar (whether during work hours or not).

How long have you been working? I doubt very seriously that anyone who works professionally hasn’t had to learn some new technology on the job. Out of the 2.7 million working software developers, I could say that almost all of them had to learn new to them technologies on the job. Also almost none of them did anything approaching leetcode on the job.

> If you think being able to communicate effectively has nothing to do with intelligence you're crazy. (Of course, it probably has have even more to do with having a common class experience than with intelligence)

What exactly point are you trying to make? That if I need someone who can communicate affectingly I should test that by using leetcode?

Yes, you can learn how to be an effective communicator much easier than you can learn how to pass a coding interview.
> he'll have a fair trial according to the law.

Yes, according to the law, his trial will be fair. The law doesn't around admitting it isn't fair.

But what do you know, I looked under the robe and wig of the law, and would you believe it was just a person! An ugly, naked, shameless person at that.

In reality, there will be no fairness if smirking people like you get your way.
Words have meanings. "deprecated" has a very specific meaning in Unicode and it does not apply to this code point. A lot of characters we use on a daily are marked <compat>.

Yeah, look at Zelensky / Zelenskyy / Zelenskyi / Zelenskiy, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodymyr_Zelenskyy

He's also Volodymyr / Vladimir, and it's like with Kyiv: the Levenshtein difference is increased by transliteration.

Also, I discovered that Levenshtein himself was from USSR, and that's why he's not Levenstein. Though I would not be surprised if some of his relatives would prefer Levenstein, just like Ekaterina (or Yekaterina?) Schulmann [1] doesn't like to be spelled as Shulman.

It seems odd to me to arbitrarily restrict the alphabet if the only requirement is that the data has to be readable by a machine through an OCR system. They could have easily used the Latin alphabet to encode arbitrary bit strings.

You can dual license software. And you can even revoke a license per customer (otherwise SaaS wouldn’t work). They can say “you only get this license IF X” and if you don’t have X, you get that license. So, if you can somehow qualify for the MIT license and relicense it, you can then redistribute it to someone who does not qualify for the original license. However, if that entity is you or a company you work for, they could argue that you never should have gotten the MIT license in the first place and take you to court over it. Now, not only are you probably on the hook for fraud, but also theft of copyrighted material with an “intent to distribute.”

So, yeah. It’d be an interesting case, but hopefully I can just eat popcorn on the sidelines. I don’t want to be the one fighting that battle.
>Also there's no guarantee whatsoever that /proc/123 is going to refer to a specific process

does using openat solve that or is there some kind of directory inode reuse occurring?
Thanks for this excellent explanation. I'm not aware of any software that makes this easy e.g. like gitolite or gitlab but I'm pleased to now realise this isn't because it's not possible! I think there would be a lot of value in someone providing this feature.

The correct question to ask isn't "is computer vision enough", it's "if humans had LIDAR sensors, would they use them to cause fewer road accidents".
Good point. I was just expanding the reasoning, but yes that is surely where it goes.

So maybe we do have to tolerate fake CSAM if we tolerate an endless parade of incredibly violent war propaganda films, not to mention hate speech that goes as far as to call for persecution and violence.

My late uncle was a psychologist and always argued that our glorification of violence was far worse than almost anything in porn.
Many snarky comments, but this study is useful. It gives hopes to those forced to sit all day to work, and therefore motivation to move
Yeah, we should've been shortening terms as technology eased production/distribution rather than lengthening them. For patents too, though at least those didn't end up as outlandishly long as copyright.

Let’s look for more walking for 20min articles posted on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Sustained walking (no red lights) is a highly underrated form of cardio.

Getting heart rate into a zone and keeping it there incrementally has a strange effect of growing a walk into a light jog on its own as well. The body seems to continue its improvement.
I see your male walking with fluffy dog, and raise you a male with a fluffy dog picking up the poop after the dog. I’m tall, dress in black, and have a black beard (so potentially scary), and after such a maneuver it seems I become the first choice to ask for help.
The irony of a rentier telling people they don't work hard enough.
I wouldn't even include Catalyst in the list. It is only relevant to a small subset of developers.
Just spitballing here but you could maybe do a 1-deep depth search… dot product on the initial search and also dot product on the highest confidence matched notes, then some filtering.

So if you have notes that associate the name to your dog, and you search for “my dog”, you’d still find those related notes?

Would require some experimentation but wouldn’t be surprised if that worked decently well out of the gate.
Even if you are 146% careful, there is still a chance that your own country officially renames you by introducing new rules for transliteration between its alphabet and the Latin one. Happened to me in 2020 - the name I use online matches my old passport, but not the new one.
Apparently SGI emulation is very slow. I'm not familiar enough with MAME, so I wonder if this is expected performance for such a complex system in MAME or it can be significantly improved in the future.
For future reference, that's "complementary". By far one of the most common mistakes (at least, among relatively uncommon words).
To remind people how unreliable GPT "facts" are?

It's strange to think of the alternate reality where "WordPerfect for Windows" was as much as a hit as the original WordPerfect.

It really helped Microsoft that WordPerfect for Windows was a slow mess of a product.

It literally couldn't keep up with basic typing on the 386 we had. Input wasn't just laggy, it was utterly unusable even in a fresh empty file.

Trying it out on a friend's 486 it ran a bit better, but it was still felt like a confused product. Being comfortable in WP meant being comfortable with the keyboard interface and macros and it didn't translate well to windows at all.

A few years later, by the time Office 95 came out, WordPerfect felt like a completely dead product.
Apple are also infamous for making terrible software (iTunes put of off even looking at Mac for a decade and a half) so it might actually be a good thing..
This graph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unicode_Web_growth.svg suggests 2008 is when UTF-8 ate the world. That's still 15 years ago.

However it should be noted, that the encoding that UTF-8 was replacing was largely (not exclusively) iso-8859-1 which probably had the characters we are talking about.
Actually I wold argue the opposite - by using more human contact.

Agency Recruiters have a list of people that they know and trust, and if you keep the recruiters in the loop periodically, then they'll remember you and bat for you when the time comes.

If recruiters are getting swamped with AI generated resumes they can't trust then I'm pretty sure their instinct will be to get on the phone and call people they know and trust.
> 1. Setup to sync via icloud was very straightforward and 100% fine for "non-tech saavy"

As someone who did support for 1Password years ago, this is patently false. It was "fine" for tech savvy users, for everyone else it was a big opportunity for problems.

New "issues" came about from the switch to a hosted solution, but data syncing issues, mostly, disappeared.

Also, to confirm the other commenters, your password is never sent to 1Password in any situation where syncing is involved, whether it be Dropbox/iCloud or the hosted solution. And with the hosted solution your account key is also never sent to 1Password. This is also well documented in their Security White Paper.
Demonstrating that the tool that many developers may consult first may not be telling the full truth, and that they might need to do more research?

This isn't even that egregious of a reference to a GPT, in my opinion.
I get you. Your image at the end is hauntingly vivid.

This is what government is for. Should be for: should be doing.

I don't mean at the micro-level of regulating website loading times: that would be ludicrous. I mean at the macro-level of guiding society away from harmful equilibria. I can't suggest policies which will accomplish all of these, and reasonable people can disagree about implementations. That's OK: so long as we are aligned on that purpose we can iterate on attempted solutions. With that said, here are some harmful equilibria to address, and at least a top-level approach to take, or goal to set:

- Carbon (and other pollution and waste) taxes which internalize costs that are currently born by everyone, in order to profit a few.

- Privacy protections which make business-models built around surveillance and micro-targeted advertising impossible.

- Corporate governance and financial market models which discourage short-term "line goes up" thinking.

- Tax structures and business regulations which encourage research and development instead of stock buy-backs, and increasing workers' wages instead of executive compensation.

I'd bet that at least a couple of those would improve website loading times, too.
Thanks for this insight, 8organicbits!

Yes and no. French sure, but in my experience of trying to learn Japanese, the difficulty is insane, much higher compared to the "western" languages.

I disagree

It is just small, but not amazing and effective.

Debugging index out of bound issues that could have been easily prevented sucks and wastes a lot of time
I have three official first names but the second is the spoken first name — a practice not uncommon in Sweden. I use only the spoken first name for most things, but all three are present in e.g. healthcare and social security databases: where the spoken name is supposed to be underlined. But the underlining often gets lost when transferred between systems, and some systems even strips away all but the first.

My last name is spelled with a double-s by one side of the family, but with a single s by the other. I've been refused to pick up packages at the mail-parcel centre only because the spelling on the parcel did not match my ID card, despite having a notice slip with delivery number that had been delivered correctly to my physical mail address.
This deterministic execution pattern reminds me a lot of the approach with Azure Durable Functions and I know I've seen it in other places as well. Curious if anyone knows where that pattern originated.
Where is the state for the side effects stored? Say I have an AWS Lambda that I want to make idempotent. Lambdas don’t have local storage that persists across runs (unless you mount EBS volumes or something) so I presume state can be stored in a DB?
Lots of it is also because of demand. I see people generating d&d characters and yeah they don't want to see an ugly fella. It reinforces itself.

Plenty of countries choose immigrants based on a multitude of factors. You can't even fly to the US as a visitor if you're deemed unfit.
It’s usually got the “best” everything emulator. As long as by best you mean most accurate.

It may not be the fastest (usually never is) and may not be the most compatible (because it may not be complete vs hacks in other emulators) but what it does emulate is usually pretty close to perfect & will converge on that at least.

It’s Genesis emulator is a great example of that: about as perfect as non-hardware can get… but definitely not the fastest or most fancy
Yes, native is their thing, Windows isn't a WASM platform (or the like).

We managed to move from x86 to amd64. We'll do the same with RISC-V.

Yeah, I have a two-word last name. It sometimes gets smushed together by the airlines, but they're inconsistent about it.

Lufthansa for example does this in a particularly annoying way, if I give my name as LAST NAME, it will automatically smush it to LASTNAME. However, if I then want to retrieve my boarding pass, it will only find my booking when I enter my name as LASTNAME, because the look-up does not smush things automatically.
Metric measurements, English-language UI, UTF-8 and ISO 8601 dates could make a nice international default standard locale.
Have you been to Switzerland? Their public transport system is a mix of busses/short trams and long trip trains. They aren't precisely a high density urban country. They have suburban sectors. The difference here is that they don't make walking a punishment. You can count that everywhere you want to go there's a walking path, even when going off-road. Yes, it's not 100%, but it doesn't need to be. If you can reach 70% of all the places you will ever want to go using public transport, that is enough.
Yeah no one would make apps for 3rd place, Android already has the problem of being the 2nd target for many new apps. It's worth it for services but a lot of times the Apple app is better because users pay more.

I've come across sobyte.net a few times now. Who's behind it? It's frequently updated with content that, at least to me, is very interesting. If it's just one person, I'd like to know how they approach it. Very impressive.
Waymo drove a total of 3M miles in 2022, for reference (driverless and non-driverless.) For fatalities, there's a national average of about 1.3 deaths per 100 million miles driven, so you wouldn't expect a Waymo fatality for a while yet if it was a standard human driver. Obviously this kind of thing lives and dies by the edge cases and in my opinion we're going to need a massive expansion in the fleets to really make them safe - by definition you will encounter very few edge cases if you do far less driving. Total miles driven in the US is over 3 trillion per year, so Waymo drives less than 1 millionth of the total miles in the US.

For an intuitive way to visualize this, you can think of Waymo as a fleet of 30 truck drivers, each driving 100k miles per year (which is a typical number for truck drivers.) Thirty truck drivers having good insurance rates is a great sign, but obviously if you hire a 31st guy and he causes a ten-car pileup then your statistics will be in the toilet. Thirty truck drivers is a tiny company. The Stevie Wonder Institute For Trucking has some 15-20k drivers and recently went nine days without an accident [0].

That's not meant to belittle Waymo, of course, their achievements are very impressive and they are clearly leading the pack. One argument you could make in favor of Waymo is that highway driving is simpler, less risky statistically, and makes up most US miles driven - and they do very little of that. I'm looking forward to an expansion there, that'll really get their mileage up.

And ING's Unite be+nl project didn't end up meeting the dates they provided the court, so even if the court had accepted that excuse (it didn't), they still would've needed to alter their systems anyway. In fact, the attempt to unite the Dutch bank with their Belgian counterpart, which would've modernised the system, was cancelled in 2020 after barely making progress after four years, followed by a thousand jobs being cut worldwide.

"We're going to replace this anyway" is a pretty bad excuse for a fix that should've been completed ten years ago, and with the replacement clearly not coming any time soon, especially when the you're legally obligated to provide the fix.
