> Perl, if you are talking about stuff widely used in industry.

I love perl! Last year for Christmas the release of cosmopolitan perl inspired me to write a perl web server: https://github.com/csdvrx/PerlPleBean/

It may have been an exercise in futility in 2022, but it taught me many things about the http protocol (and it was fun)
by south hills, guessing you mean the Mon Valley?
The title seems to imply that existing DDL isn't declarative since this offers a declarative solution. Leaving aside how declarative this solution appears at first glance, to be clear, GRANT/REVOKE, CREATE/DROP POLICY, etc. are 100% declarative.
I carefully and intentionally included trademark. And copyright.

> I like trademarks which disallow other companies than Apple from selling products called “Apple Watch” or other companies than Samsung from selling “Samsung Galaxy S” series phones.

Why? It only serves companies to help them become larger companies. If you think it helps customers understand what they're buying, consider: customers are basically oblivious to what they are buying when it comes to technology. If that's actually the problem you want to solve, the solutiom to that is "technology nutrition facts" and spec sheets by law, not trademark.

> And I like that if I make a piece of music or some art or whatever, some giant company can’t just grab that and use it for profit without making some arrangement with me.

What're you going to do about it if they do? Sue Disney? Doesn't seem like you'll get a lot out of that.

Bonus points for additionally eliminating propriety software at the same time.

That's 100% against the HN guidelines and community

In 1992 it was practically unavailable outside universities and research institutions. There were basically no consumer ISPs.
I don't understand this sentiment. It implies that an arbitrary web developer, who has never met someone, knows better how the want to portray that person, than that person themselves.

It also feels very anti-hacker to me. A core ethos across open source software is that each user should be in charge of how their software behaves, should they choose to be. That includes the lowly "average person" who is not a web developer.

Japan was one of the biggest trade threat for the US until around 2000, caused many trade conflicts, so perhaps this would be stopped if it's in 1985. It's no longer so big, now it's China.
It's astonishing how badly US banks get to treat and milk their customers to an outsider (compared to say EU-banks).

The amount of bribes and regulatory capture needed to maintain that... I can only imagine.
> I like someone who blogs about Forth in 2023. But if they are truly curious about Forth they'll find themselves reading a bit of history. Forth has been around for quite some time now.

I've found that many people passionate about something will have read quite a bit about its history. Hardly seems sporting to imply that the author is ignorant of everything; perhaps this is something they overlooked.
You can short for the sake of shorting. You can’t fake volume with wash trading. Very different things.
The plots are pretty messy, clearly something is being missed.

To avoid prefetch (in the compiler or hardware level) for stride N shuffle the reads to make sure you read each cache line exactly onces. Then you'll hit TLB issues. To handle that either sort them within a fixed sized sliding window, or within the same page.

Then you should get MUCH cleaner graphs.

Yes, pretty sure it’s very common. That doesn’t make it the greatest design, common doesn’t mean good.

Oops, yes, corrected, thanks!
Great post on quality subreddit dataisbeautiful. Even some Americans are surprised by the regional differences you find across the US. Folks outside the US are surprised about how many people still burn wood as their primary heating source. Fun discussion.
“According to the 1950 Census, the population of the United States was 150,697,361. Of this total, 15,042,286, or 10 percent, identified as Black or African American alone.”

I guess Reason would see it as a period of maximum freedom.

If I use GKE or any other standard Kubernetes offering (excluding GKE autopilot for now), if I have a variable workload and I want Node-level autoscaling, I will probably pay between 1.5x-2.5x in compute costs above what my Pod requests sum to because of difficulty with Node utilization.

It seems like with FKS, my pods will map directly to Fly Machines billing, and so there’s no compute that I’m paying for but not using

Thanks for posting the (ppt) 20 ppt. It looks like all the animals have higher levels.

One example, with a Science(TM) paywall, cited on the wiki - Great tit near 3M, Port of Antwerp, Belgium 2007 liver 553–11,359[39]

Really happy we moved away from ppb to ppt.
OT - 3b1b did an interesting video on the epidemic modeling [0] that shaped my thinking a bit on the lockdown and caused me to lose a few friends to argue against the prolonged lockdowns.

I believe he used the same technique deployed by major media institutions and health organizations.

Basically the interesting conclusion was unless you apply a very rigorous lockdown (CCP style) the virus ultimately spreads. All you’re doing is spreading the time. As in “flattening the curve”.

As some might recall the initial lockdown was proposed as a way to flatten the curve and allow the medical system to cope better by having a more gradual influx of patients. Which makes me think everyone promoting the initial lockdown understood its limitations and its objectives.

However, for what ever reason “control demolition” of the economy to make Trump lose the election or who knows why it turned into a long term lockdown.

I know this is a controversial topic, but it shouldn’t be. This is a clear case that the science of pandemic modeling suggested one path and for political reasons we were pushed to follow a course that caused a lot of damage, some irreversible, to the society.

I guess we'll see who is right. You're basically describing a DDoS attack, but those have been common for a long time now, and there are effective defence measures.

Agree with you. It's a truly sad state that libraries have become the de-facto "last option" for so many people, ranging from Internet access for those too poor to afford a basic phone data plan over food [1] and showers [2] to first aid for drug users [3].

Out of all of that, only the first should be provided by a library - the rest should be a core function of any civilized government to provide in dedicated, actually properly equipped facilities. Librarians are not social workers, and they shouldn't have to be forced into that role that they've never been adequately trained nor equipped for. And libraries shouldn't be places where those in need of their actual services are afraid to go to, because they don't want to get harassed by homeless and drug users.

And yet, I shudder even thinking about how the situation would look like if the many librarians and other adjacent staff would not have stepped up to the multiple crises of completely dysfunctional local governments and widespread poverty.

> really depends if you can view it in the context that produced it; if you go all "death of the author" it's just going to seem cringe.

I don't wish death to anyone. I try to separate the author from the art, so there are many things I can enjoy: I'm listening to Bing Crosby's White Christmas. He may have been a bad person [1], but the song is nice. If he was singing hate stuff on a happy melody, I wouldn't enjoy it.

This TV series making fun of bad things is something else.

You might disagree about where to draw the line but you can see why they drew a line in the sand. text/markdown would very quickly grow to be everything HTML is.

There's probably a pithy "every internet protocol expands until it can serve ads" lesson in there somewhere.

Favorite part of working on my HiFutureSelf app is that there is no finish line. Incremental improvements over 13 years, and no end in sight. Each release feels so wonderful. Barely noticeable but the difference over time is massive.
Not really. While there's danger to local infrustructure, this area & eruption is more likely to remain a (series of) ground lava flows, without explosive ejection of ash to high altitudes, at high volumes – as would be required to significantly disrupt air traffic.
Because it's flatly wrong.

By scanning and lending a book, they are reproducing a copyrighted work and transmitting it to someone else without authorization from the copyright holder.

It's not up for interpretation, the law is very clear and explicit on this point.

Their argument is logical and coherent, and it makes sense on its own, but that doesn't make it any less wrong.
Not a volcanologist but I have been following this for awhile. My answer is no. The only chance of something like that happen is if the eruption moves under the sea. This particular hot spot is very reluctant to under sea eruptions. During magma intrusion the dyke extended a lot and reached passed the town and beneath the sea floor, so was a very slim chance of an under sea eruption for a minute there. However the dyke stopped extending soon there after and has since solidified in any under sea portions of it.
My understanding is that Cloud Run is not suitable for stateful workloads (databases, etc.)
This can happen even with very important words. An example with the word "nature". Which changed dramatically at some point in the past 150 years.

Hey, at least they didn’t use lemons
Perfectly reasonable in my book. Honestly for me its less important the guns themselves, ive never owned a functional firearm in my life, its everything else that gets regulated along with it. I remember doing some surface research on building a drone with an IR camera and basically every solution had low FPS, digging into it, the federal government restricts the sale of IR camera chips capable of producing high resolution/high fps, its a 'weapons technology'. Encryption is considered a weapons technology too, your ability to freely communicate over the internet plays second fiddle to the interests of the national security state. The idea that the government can restrict something on the basis that it could be used to create a weapon is the problem, that is insane.
Well, I think I know what your mistake is, because I made the same mistake for a long time before I realized the error of my ways.

Intuition and deep understanding is important, and you won't go far without it. It's arguably the most important thing. But memorization / "knowing" things is important as well, and if you avoid doing that completely, you're just like a two or three legged stool. You need both, for true mastery.

I can't persuade you of this on my own, but if you ever trust something you saw on the internet without proof, hopefully this is the one thing! Haha.
Friends and Seinfeld are still two of the most popular syndicated programs in America, and generally you can find at least one episode of either or both on at any given time of day on modern basic cable in 2023 USA.

Certain groups absolutely have valid reasons not to return to 90’s cultural norms but a pretty large majority would have no objection, at least initially.

Neutral party here: not the case, on your end, the mind-reading distracts from hearing the voice of Chesterton talking about his fence.

c.f. sibling comment written 10 minutes before yours, several trivial things.

More concretely from a downvoter:
1. I want _nothing_ to do with user data. Nothing. Toxic nuclear waste. The idea of keeping the waste on hand needs strong justification.

2. The idea of "just leave the rows but mark is_deleted" has a fundamental distate to a profession where O(n) is a constant worry.

3. The breezy way it dismisses this as an obvious solution that ~eveyone agrees suggets a small breadth of experience. That's not bad! But then we're at Chesterton's fence.

In summary, you can get downvoted for ruling out someone else's concrete lived experience, not just because your dangerous ideas threaten their paycheck (I don't even have a job!)
Nope

What, why would he do that? Seems like a marketing ploy gone wrong.

FWIW though I rather enjoyed The Last Ringbearer.
Last I checked (not super recently) there was a login wall that popped up after you’ve seen X articles that the authors have chosen to put behind the login wall.

Also, if an author wants an article to be eligible for inclusion in aggregated publications, they have to put it behind the login wall. It’s quite possible my info is outdated; happy to learn what the current state of affairs is if things have changed.

Correct, till all legal things a cleared upon both companies must act as there were no acquisition. Only specific M&A teams can look deeper and plan for integration.

This leads to a complicated limbo for acquired companies as customers consider the acquisition (buy now before new owner raises the price or hold out as they will cancel the product line?), employees are uncertain (conflicting products on both sides, which will continue, with which direction? Will yesterday's priorities still count tomorrow?) while all are counting their shares and make plans.
Ask HN: 2024 Bingo Card (Just for Fun)
I'm making a 2024 Bingo card for my friend group. What are some plausible events that could make for an interesting set of bingo cards? Each one should be a prediction for 2024. Any level of possibility is fine.

They can be serious or funny. Geopolitical events, scientific events, etc are all fine.

Some example bingo card spaces could be:
Defenestration, World Leader confirms existence of aliens, African Boy Band becomes international sensation, AI cult gains > 100k followers, etc.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas! If those post becomes popular, I plan on sharing the final product here.
Are you actually questioning why cheaper EVs are better?

Besides - a350 and 777x started adding touchscreens AND they are designing FSD equivalent system too!

Finally, if climate slider instead of knob distracts you, then perhaps you aren't fit to drive to begin with?
Maybe you are reading it differently than me, but when they refer to the same binaries, as if I managed it myself, as being the pieces they use, it definitely seems like the open source project being used.

> Papers are absolutely judged on impact

This is post hoc thinking but impossible a priori. You're also discounting the bias of top venues, in that the act of being in their venue is a causal variable for higher impact if you measure by citation counts.

I'd also mention that ML does not typically use a journal system but rather conferences. A major difference is that conferences are not rolling submissions and there is only one rebuttal available to authors. Usually this is limited to a single page that includes citations. You can probably imagine that it's difficult to do an adequate rebuttal to 3-4 reviewers under the best of circumstances. It's like trying to hold a debate where the defending side must respond to any question from the opposition, with clear citations, in a short time frame, and there is no limit to how abstract the opposing side's question need be. Nor that their is congruence within the opposition. It's not a very good framework for making "arguments" more clear or convincing, especially when you consider that the game is zero sum.

I definitely agree with your comments about how other types of useful communication (like null results) are highly discouraged. But I wanted to note that there's a poor framework for even "standard" works.
If the majority of the populace is happy with large, badly-moderated instances, more power to them. That doesn't mean the very real people well-served by small instances with enforced moderation policies should have that taken away from them.

We only have problems when large instances get block-happy. There's some weird stuff going on in fedi admin circles, but so far, it hasn't been as harmful as (… think of a non-Facebook example…) Tumblr's centralised moderation decisions. This is mitigated by small instances, where heads are cooler and tensions are lower because you don't have everything to think about all at once, and individual moderation decisions are less impactful.
When you know your enemies have plans that are openly at ends with yours, when the heads of their alliance say this will come to pass, when their political elites campaign on the promise that they will push this cause along, when your rival countries make investments in this future, do you believe the words coming out of their mouths? Or chalk it all up to informal positive signals? Words aren't empty and a big part of diplomacy is choosing the right ones. Even in the slightest smidge of an off-chance that this was just placation, they chose to phrase it in a way that still comes off as a threat- act now, because if you don't WE will. I don't think it's a fair argument to claim that it meant nothing and we didn't really want those countries in NATO. We made a compromise then to not let them in to try to appease Russia, then immediately flubbed it by antagonizing them with a looming perceived threat over their head in the future. Had we played things more diplomatically things could have panned out differently.

>Turkey applied for EU in 1987 and negotiations are currently about 6% done. Would you expect Turkey to become a member of the EU in foreseeable future?
There's no set time for how long it can take a country to join NATO and requirements can be bent or overlooked if expediency is required. There's multiple countries that have joined in timespans of <5 years.
> Everything has costs. My refusal to carry a cellphone has opportunity costs for me, but also opportunities like maybe a longer attention span?

That one would be a tough for a lot of people nowadays in the US because it could be a safety issue.

In the first half of the '90s there was a lot of infrastructure to support people who did not have mobile phones, such as plentiful pay phones in public places and emergency call boxes along highways.

Now only a few states still have emergency call boxes on the highways, and pay phones have dwindled from a high of 2.6 million in 1995 to under 100k.
But are you happier than you were then? Lately I've been struck by how the better things get the less I seem to enjoy them. Like I used to just look at a screen. Now I examine it for dead pixels and light bleed and motion ghosting and color evenness and signs of OLED burn-in.

I watch old movies and TV shows and am struck by how powerful people seem to be when they don't need to look at a phone a hundred times a day. Like the desire for constant improvement has left us unable to tolerate a lower level of stimulation.

Growing up in the 90s and 2000s it was ok to constantly want more because there constantly was more. Every year was a noticeable improvement. Where's it getting better now? I use my smartphone for the exact same things I was using it for ten years ago, except now it has fewer buttons and I can't replace the battery. I can't help but feel like it would've been far better for me if I hadn't been conditioned to expect unending improvement.
Why are you triggered by a very reasonable reminder of the truth? You really need to ask yourself why you _all_ you feel is annoyed about something that's still a massive problem for people today.
