I came here to support their decision too.

I love info pages. I spent many hours trying to convert documentation I use into info pages or something like info (but failed, as info has more metadata than those sources).

Sure enough I’m using Emacs but navigating through any documentation in info form is a very positive experience, especially in comparison to a documentation in HTML form that has many issues (especially since interactivity for search etc. is inconsistent and likes to break)
I think I had one of these. As I recall, it had an SD card slot, so I just put a 256 GB SD card in there and used it as the main storage. I had some compile-from-source Linux distribution on there, or maybe that was my NetBSD experiment. It worked okay.

Then the internal WiFi card broke after a year and couldn't be replaced. I couldn't be bothered to mess with a USB WiFi -- it was supposed to be for convenience! So it went to the thrift store after that.
As a guy in Eastern European who has worked 99% of the time in the EU market, I am very happy that I have almost never seen any DEI actions in person.

But the very few times that I did it left a very bitter taste; that otherwise well-sounding initiative was hijacked to hire much less capable people who were commanding almost the same salary as mine or the other team members' while doing barely 10% of the work (vetted via code output and team discussion collaboration; nobody knew what that person was doing, even his direct supervisor who was also their coach buddy).

And it was doubly strange because the company actively went out of its way to look for these people, easily spending times more on hiring even single such person as compared to, you know, posting on several reputable job boards and filtering resumes.

I suspect it was investor pressure. Or the CEO getting a "life-changing experience" after watching a few videos.

Oh and you know what happened to those forced hires? Months later the CTO and two other seniors said "it's me or them" and had their resignation ready on the same day.

Turns out business interests do override some nebulous diversity targets after all. Take a guess who actually left / was fired? Exercise for the reader.
Some comparative advantages are more useful than others. The country that’s the world leader in energy and industry can bomb the shit out of the country that’s the world leader in dating apps. (China and the US aren’t there yet, it the trajectory is apparent, unless it’s derailed by China’s demographic collapse.)

OP found out that customer research and Go-To-Market are more important than engineering. Engineering is (mostly). Finding customers and selling to them is not.

Fixes for iPhone charging too slow.
Looks really cool. Definitely nitpicking, but their assertion that we are in "the metaverse era" feels out of place and personally irritates me as it reinforces a farcical hype cycle from the software industry that I hadn't expected was alive and well in academia.
I'll add another adjacent niche:

Ask HN: What will you do during those holidays?
It's a good time to step back from our day to day job, or explore new things, or spend quality time with friends or family.
I’ve seen google launch this same idea a few times now, probably will end the same way as the previous tries.
I couldn't figure out how to DM you on HN, so I'll send you an email. Thanks!
Nope, completely different, so much that r/overemployed makes fun of r/antiwork-ers. Those who are overemployed are grateful to be in a position to do so, they are not salty at all, quite the opposite.
Midjourney V6: Elevating Prompt Structure and Expression
The manpage format is a ridiculous relic of a more limited era.

Have you ever tried finding anything the the Bash manpage? It's the whole book! In one manpage!! For many tools, not just Bash, I often just use google to search the manpage, which really demonstrates a failure of our documentation tools.

And GNU's documentation is excellent. Isn't it a requirement for some of their projects (Emacs?) that a feature must be documented to be accepted?

With that said, Info's (the CLI command) UX seems to be a spin-off of Emacs, and just as obtuse to the new user. I'd accuse linux users of being hidebound for sticking to manpages, but Info is really challenging to navigate. I mean, xkcd.com/1343 has a point.
Gone to the asylum, department mi6.. He's gonna hack russians now.
I’d probably grit my teeth and get another one, grousing the whole time.
Manpages outweigh info mindshare by a huge margin. And for most programs, a manpage is more than enough. But when your application is large enough to require a manual the size of a book, manpages simply aren't enough. It's too hard to arrange them properly or to search them up. A good example is git. Your system probably has the best and most comprehensive git material sitting in it as manpages. But even seasoned git users may not know about it.

Info pages shine when it comes to material like this. It feels exactly like a book. If you're comfortable with the terminal, you get the advantage of Gnu's multipage online manuals locally on the terminal. It may feel hard to navigate - but it takes hardly an hour to learn the basic navigation, whether that be in Emacs, info or pinfo.

PS: Coincidentally, I was looking for a way to document my own program before release. I was looking at both formats, or perhaps choose something that can be converted into man, info and html. I'm open to any suggestion.
In countries with functioning permitting systems, HSR planning and construction works well. Famously, SNCF said Morocco is less dysfunctional than California.

In the USA, with NEPA - and especially California which also has CEQA - the permitting for any kind of project is super expensive. A lot of design decisions in the Hyperloop paper are for avoiding CEQA constraints.
I would, actually. We should just ban private vehicles in cities, they're nigh useless unlike between cities, and even that could be solved with high speed rail transit à la Asia.

It wasn't a prepaid, it was the standard privacy.com thing as suggested by the grandparent post, where they make a new number that you can use per-merchant. The card was set to a $6/mo limit, so the $4/mo trial offer would work, and the $25/mo after that wouldn't.

They somehow sucked $25 right through that.

You're measuring the wrong direction. Don't measure what percentage of industry publishes with academics. Instead, measure what percent of academics __in ML__ publish with industry. This direction because one is much larger than the other. Second, I mean... I am a researcher... and I'm talking about the environment I'm working in. It sounds like you're outside this environment trying to educate me on it. Am I misunderstanding here?

> can do something that actually impacts the business -- that is actually useful to other humans

Do not confuse these two. That's incredibly naive.
The vast majority of the time less government is better government. If it’s not going to be less, it’s better when it’s local.

Block grants federate and localize solutions, limit the damage of poor choices, and force answers to tough choices.

Federal programs with centralized oversight end up spending too much for too little results and will never be able to efficiently solve these problems.
Of course, the development of the sharing feature is in planning
Jax is great, however you are still in the python ecosystem right? So, as you requirements grow, inevitably you will be at a point where 10% of your app goes through 'regular' python and if you don't "drop to C" - making this a two language problem - you will find your app in now 10x slower than an equivalent fast language. It is unbelievable how slow regular python (not using NumPy etc..) is.
I vaguely remember that this was because of Apache being split up into several packages and thus enabling just a subset of functionality minimizing the foot print. One such library was PHP back in the LAMP days I think.

I was curious so I asked Chat GPT as well:

The rationale behind this approach is primarily aimed at enhancing maintainability, scalability, and user-friendliness, particularly for systems that host multiple websites or require frequent configuration changes. Here are the key reasons:

1. Modularity: By splitting the configuration into smaller, more manageable files, administrators can easily enable or disable specific modules or sites. This modular approach is especially beneficial in environments with multiple virtual hosts, where each site can have its own configuration file.

2. Ease of Management: Tools like a2enmod and a2ensite simplify the process of enabling and disabling modules and sites. Rather than manually editing configuration files, administrators can use these tools to make changes, reducing the risk of syntax errors and other mistakes.

3. Upgrade Safety: Debian’s structure keeps the default and custom configurations separate. When Apache is updated, the package manager can safely replace the default files without overwriting custom configurations, making the upgrade process smoother and safer.

4. Community Conventions: Over time, Debian’s approach has become a well-understood convention within its community. Users familiar with Debian know what to expect and find the system intuitive.

5. Historical Reasons: Debian has a long history of emphasizing stability and predictability. The configuration structure likely evolved to meet these priorities, considering the needs of its diverse user base, from personal servers to large enterprises.
Worth noting that this is only in 3 cities that don't really experience "weather" the same way most other cities do.

This is of course great news for people living in the desert, but let us know when they achieve this in Toronto or Boston year-round.
So it looks cool...

But I almost have no idea what it is.

I say almost, because I guess it's something to do with AI.

I'm at that life stage where I do not want to discuss on Discord how AI can become a creative thought partner.

Honestly Google, just get over yourself already! ;-)
Unless there is a sudden energy price spike, then things might become different fast.
The point is unexpected is supposed to be in norm, self driving cars can not tell what a norm is. The idiom is not about the word unexpected, more about the relatioship between chaos and order
I'm saying photons here, because there are so many words that have very specific meanings that are not typically understood (Nits, Candela, Lumens, Luminance, Brightness, Illuminance, Luminous Flux (Lux), and Luminous intensity) by the lay person. However, just looking at the 5500K black body the power density of any Blue is well below that of any Green or Red, and since the energy per photon is higher at shorter wavelengths (blue) that means the photon flux is significantly lower (about half the number of photons/sec/m2 of green).

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/phyopt/coltemp.ht...

Just for the plot.

The reason that Cyan (between Blue&Green) and Yellow (between Red&Green) subpixels added to the full pixel can be more efficient for white (or unsaturated colors) is that they are detected better by the eye (perceived brightness) for an amount of power or photons than a primary Blue or Red.
I think it should be obvious that I have a right to decide whether server-imposed JavaScript and CSS will run on my computer. If I only want HTML to render, that’s my prerogative. And if a site’s HTML isn’t useable without CSS and JS, then that site is defective and I’ll black hole its domain on local DNS.

If this breaks websites’ business models, that’s their problem, not mine. I don’t have bareback sex with strangers and I don’t visit random websites without uBlock Origin.
so... then what's keeping you from switching? the feature exists, you can use it right now -- just create two shortcuts on the desktop, one for personal, one for work. they can even run at the same time!
Over time, everyone becomes atheistic. Not having children is a function of a society's wealth (which is then correlated to education which is the correlated to non-religiosity), not (necessarily) their religiosity. It is not that most of the children who are born from reproduction-heavy religions will continue the practice, as we have seen in human history, when people have been much more religious than now.

In fact, I see this attitude so often online that I believe it's some sort of logical fallacy akin to the Malthusian trap, that "they" (for some definition of "they" as chosen by the doomer) will eventually take over lest we reprioritize having kids, when in reality the entire world's population is dropping, and it's distributed mostly equally, even in areas where there are some of the highest birth rates in the world historically, like India, China, and Nigeria.
Attitudes about nuclear power are also changing and we are seeing more talk about using small reactors for district heating.

Pushing all the "spare" thermal energy from nuclear plants into the sea or lakes has been a tremendous waste.

Apparently while others talk about it, it is actively being worked on in China.

The issue isn't about unions. In 2021, Germany was the third-largest exporter of iron and steel globally, with extreme levels of unionization had exports worth $32.8 billion. The real factor at play is mercantilism. Major steel-exporting nations, including China, often provide subsidies and protection for their steel industries.

"All of us in business have a responsibility to maintain the industrial base on which we depend and the society whose adaptability—and stability—we may have taken for granted."

> on a more general premise the statement "you don't always need the most qualified person" is just confusing.

obviously its paradoxical because the person with the only skill that differs from the rest of the entire corporation would be the most qualified person. I tried to qualify that with other ways. I'm glad that we used language to convey a shared understanding, which is the purpose of language.

Regarding how to hold corporations accountable for hiring bias, I never broached that at all. "Culture fit" likely has a limited halflife, where legislatures or labor agencies will just discourage the word and that kind of discretion. labor agencies use their own budget from taxpayers or the state's other revenue sources to bring action to corporations, you should check them out, they might have found the Game of Thrones criteria to be window dressing for a sanctionable form of employment discrimination, that other people have already complained about. So that suggests your reality is either hyperbole or ignorance, easily remediable with accurate guidance.
there's no private healthcare system in the US, except for maybe the individual mom & pop doctor's offices.

Every other player is

- getting handouts from govt (hospital non-profit statuses from all taxes incl property taxes, payouts for invented"losses"; payor premium subsidies),

- protections from competition (PBM "discounts", Pharma IP evergreening rules, hospital requirements to approve new local competitors, payor lobbying for regs to prevent "lite" plans )

- and are very much flirting with antitrust action (payor & pharmacy vertical integration, cutting off contracts of any remaining independent doctor/vendor holdouts etc).
Since Joplin's developer decided to put all Markdown files into a database and thus give up all the advantages of a flat file system, I have uninstalled Joplin. In my view, the last discussion in Joplin's forum on this topic further discredited the developer.
It's quite normal for parents to pay for their children's hobbies.
This. One uses less all the time for displaying text files anyway, so the commands are in muscle memory. Using info is always similar to accidentally launching vi and not knowing how to get around or even out of it.

(I’ve learned vim in the meantime, but just avoided info for the last 10+ years)
What I would like is for ArXiv to have an LLM to rewrite all papers away from the stodgy, stilted language prevalent in every paper. Just write clearly gang, use proper paragraph breaks and stop with the run-on sentences.
not as antitrust laws are written, no. not a sherman section ii monopolization of trade or commerce, not a section i restraint of trade, not a clayton tying. as with most antitrust cases, it comes down to market definition. the reasonable market is phone messaging or some such; the only way to win would be basically defining the market as imessage itself which no court would suffer since whatsapp and similar are free with equal or greater features.

you can argue antitrust statute should be expanded or changed, but there's no reasonable case as things stand.
I started this way too, but many decades before. I wonder if OP found the R720 idrac “hack” on my blog! Kudos fella, you’re just scratching the surface of the fun to be had. Bring a towel!
Do they turn off the jet engines if they don't pay, or do they send them a bill? There is a huge difference.

Also, writing it in a contract doesn't make it ethical or even legal. Just because someone writes it in a license agreement doesn't mean that we as a society should blindly accept it. We don't allow people to sell lots of things, why should we just say 'well it was in the license' because someone tried to sell 'being able to have turn off your own passenger train for more than 10 days'?
That's interesting. Do you mean you see containers that aren't running with "least possible privileges" more narrow than the defaults, or that you often see misconfigurations such as the ones described in this article? Are the people still thinking the container works as as a security boundary after this, or are they knowingly turning off security to get to some functionality that otherwise doesn't work with the normal confines of a container?
Writing man pages by hand is indeed something that makes you lose the will to live. For anything beyond the trivial case I just write Markdown and convert it to a man page using pandoc.
I love that your analogy hit me so hard that I came to question my iPhone SE. I think the main issue for me is that I have not found a better alternative elsewhere. There are some interesting locked down and privacy focused variants of Android, but I am not sure I could use them with the banking and personal ID apps that are almost "required" unless I have to jump through additional hoops daily.

But thought provoking analogy - and thanks for that!

Maybe not in urban places, but it absolutely makes no sense that it's not legal in my rural area to bike down (some) trails/sidewalks that run along roads. Usually if you bike down them it's rare to see another person even on them, and and motorists surely aren't on the lookout for bikers like they should be/are in some cities.

They even put a bike lane in on the road at my parent's house. Again, there's a perfectly usable trail/sidewalk right alongside the road that's far, far from busy, and the bike lane is also used for parking. I'm not going to swerve in and out of the road when there's a place that's 100% safe to bike down.

Hell, for that matter - laws be damned, I bike down the left side of the road here. I want to see a car that's not paying attention to me coming, where I'll at least have a chance to react. Again, it's not like a city where you're sometimes in the flow of traffic. The cars are going 40mph when I'm going maybe 15mph?
You're welcome. I hope you're going to enjoy the community!
This is not an argument I necessarily believe, but to steel-man this one:

You know your trains will need service after 12 months in service or some number of miles. Absent that service, the train could fail, the failure could be catastrophic, and a catastrophic failure on a train kills people. You also know that municipal train operators in a great many parts of the world will absolutely run their trains until they kill someone rather than pay for downtime and maintenance. Therefore, you put in a lock on the train that if it hasn’t been serviced after 12 months, the train disables itself to force the owner to get the train serviced.
That's cute that you think people working the bottom rung have any sort of autonomy and aren't monitored constantly for compliance with scripts, decision trees, policies, and procedures.
Well, that sent me down a rabbit hole of what the difference is, and apparently mastodons are part of the Mammut family while mammoths are part of the Elephant family. Biologists messed up there.

Indeed, I see this quite often, as if some race based boogeyman will take over. It is often an attitude displayed against those with high religiosity, even though the world's overall population growth rate is decreasing and reversing, as even the most religious areas of the world are not having as many kids, predictably because they're getting richer.

Getting richer is correlated to not having children, but most of these dog whistlers assume a monotonically increasing number of births, not realizing that most populations are sigmoidal, not linear; eventually, even those races these people are against will slow down having kids, that is what happens everywhere.
