skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
if you use an array in the naïve way on an 8080 with, as you correctly point out, memory bandwidths on the order of 16 kilobytes per second, as soon as your text file has grown to 48 kilobytes (about 17 printed pages and less than half a floppy disk), inserting a letter near the beginning of it will take multiple seconds; you can type several times as fast as the editor can respond, even with hunt and peck

consequently the editors we used on those computers did not use this approach

however, a gap buffer is perfectly workable, and preserves most of the array's advantages, such as rapid text search. and so emacs continues to use gap buffers to this day

Claim made from theoretical considerations, without any actual reference to real-world editors. The popular Micro[1] text editor uses a simple line array[2], and performs fantastically well on real-world editing tasks.

Meanwhile, ropes are so complicated that even high-quality implementations have extremely subtle bugs[3] that can lead to state or content corruption.

Which data structure is "best" is not just a function of its asymptotic performance. Practical considerations are equally important (arguably more so).

> but also this can drive self-censorship.

Actually, this is the motivation __to__ nuke. It's what I mean about the environment changing. HN is one of the big places that get scraped and everyone is scraping all data that they can these days. It's very reasonable to believe you can be de-anonymized much more easily and that it's only going to get easier. It's not unreasonable to think that someone can mimic my speech and this creates a new vulnerability. I am thinking much more about self-censorship now and being more measured now than I have in the past.

I do agree with you that self-censorship is a growing problem. But I'm not sure how to solve this when we're entering a world where it is the language you use that becomes a fingerprint. I appreciate the records because there is a lot of valuable information here but at the same time these records make us vulnerable in a way we haven't been before. And that it is in a way that not just worrying about nation states being able to do this but that we're posting these records to huggingface. The processing is just getting easier and that's about all that's needed now.
I thought so too but there just wasn’t a visual indication that it did anything. The map definitely moved.
The prime video experience is just incredibly bad. To the point where even though I pay for prime, I pirate the shows I want to watch instead of watching them in the prime app on my tv.
Some advertising of the ad-free paid plans is good because it takes the segment of customers who will not tolerate ads and gives them an option, rather than lose them.
Thanks David. I'm just a few miles downhill (Masonville) and I agree that it's a complex issue. The intentional introduction of any species raises many ethical questions. Humans have completely altered the ecosystem by removing wolves over the last 100 years. We understand this now, and the "reintroduce wolves to restore the ecosystem" reaction is a very reasonable public response. But it's only a start, let's not get distracted by charismatic megafauna.

We cannot pin ecosystem health on the presence/absence of a single species. This is not ecosystem restoration, it's a political accounting trick to manage species counts ... and pretend that's a proxy for a balanced ecosystem (without understanding habitat fragmentation and loss, energy and nutrient cycling, climate change pressures, etc). So the challenge is, can we sustain an ecosystem to support new wolves and ourselves?

To those of us who want to produce the land for economic gain - I applaud you, homo economicus. But when our market demands every last watt of productivity be directed to human markets, there's not much room to allow wolves to roam amongst livestock. If you're competing in the modern financialized agriculture markets, you're already under debt pressure and committed to a full-scale unconditional war against every non-human species - reintroduction of wolves is a direct attack.

I'm not for or against wolf re-introduction. I'm for ecosystem restoration and a sane economy. I'm for humans taking care of the land, meeting our needs AND carving out areas where wolves and other large mammals are allowed to "make a living". And that goes much deeper than just busing a few wolves into Colorado.
This seems like another case of the law working as intended - when everyone thinks instead this is the opposite of what "they" wanted to happen.

Trump wins elections. Starts pushing the constitution to the edge. He leave NATO, and Russia, takes over Ukraine. While at it, Lithuania and Estonia are annexed into new Russian union. After TSMC is relocated to India and remains burned to the ground, Xi swoops in and takes over Taiwan. Nobody cares in the US. They are mostly worried about Pan Arabic Accord that unites Middle East and goes after Israel. In 2028 liberals go into streets to protest something or other... Trump declares martial law just before elections. He continues to be president because it is unsafe to hold elections. Constitution does not cover this case, so everyone scratches their head and looks to courts to decide. In the meantime, Ivanka is named successor. Courts try to wrap their head around that as well. By this time, Trump already expanded the court to 13... AI becomes self aware and decides enough is enough.

I doubt so and if they will they’ll be abstracted to hell behind modern commodity hardware, Apollo had no bias when it comes to HDI/MMIs so astronauts could be trained on the computer interface that was possible at the time.

The reason why the controls of Dragon and Orion look the way they do is that they are no far off from modern digital cockpits of jets like the F-22 and F-35 and everyone is used to graphical interfaces and touch controls.

Having non intuitive interfaces that go against the bias astronauts and later on civilian contractors already have by using such interfaces over the past 2 decades will be detrimental to overall mission success.

The other reason for why they’ll opt to use commodity hardware is that if we are going back to space for real now you need to be able to build and deploy systems at an ever increasing pace.

We have enough powerful human safety rated hardware from aerospace and automotive there is no need to dig up relics.

And lastly you’ll be hard pressed to find people who still know how to work with such legacy hardware at scale and unless we will drastically change the curriculum of computer science degrees around the US and the world that list would only get smaller each year. We’re far more likely to see ARM and RISC-V in space than z80’s.

No. DoorDash and Uber drivers are not classified as “fast food” workers.
Ah no; it requires people to learn how to, and do more towards, their real survival, take demand off others bodies.

Grab a shovel and grow some carrots and potatoes for yourself.

No one owes beating up their body to feed you. I had a friend commit suicide rather than spend the rest of his life in chronic pain acquired by via a construction career.

Your ideal system seems to be extract as much as possible no matter the cost to others (fiat or real). If you end the same way; oh well.
> I can very easily see a case where it's obvious to anyone who's worked on this sort of device before, but only 1-2 companies make that sort of device

You don't win legal cases by resorting to semantic trickery. Clearly the spirit of the law is that "obviousness" should be interpreted generally. If you have some layer of minutiae only understood at an implementation level by a few dozen human beings, it's clearly going to look "novel" to everyone else.

Otherwise everyone in a patent case would throw some obscure genius on the stand to testify "Well, you see, this is totally obvious to me!" and win.
There's some sort of idea that everyone has to like what I like. Personally, I dislike paying for parking, and I dislike being in a setting thick with people and buildings... So I'm going to be out in the suburbs or exurbs or semi-rural and not bother you all in the urbs.

Sometimes there is some reason for me to go into the city, and I'll try not to drive the whole way, because it will upset me when I have to pay for parking when I get there. But if that works, I think that's part of the point.

Within 1 block of my house there are townhomes, a mansion, single family homes, 2 parks, mid rises, a hotel, real commercial, a high rise, an sro and a school.

The commercial, parks and hotel are accurately represented but only 1 set of townhouses are otherwise. And that’s the set that takes up a whole block.

Otherwise the mixed blocks all come up as single family. Which might just be a fidelity problem.
It wasn't that way when I shopped for an apartment in SF. (Summer 2008.)

The rent controlled landlords struggled, and didn't have much, or any, wiggle room for upkeep. (Just look at the Parkmerced saga. The place was a dump, but politics prevented them from fixing it.)

I moved into my rent controlled apartment because it was a good deal; the non-rent-control apartments actually cost more at the time.
Yes, given the size, power, and reliability constraints. There were, of course, far more powerful computers around… but not ones you could fit in a spacecraft the size of a Volkswagen Beetle.

> Uber pays below minimum wage in California? How?

By falsely classifying its drivers as independent contractors (and bamboozling the courts).
Minimum wage can surely be negative? Consider unpaid internships.
They should abolish tipping.

Once they abolish tipping, then they can set minimum wages.

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised to see tipping integrated into self-check out stations soon.
Oak Park has a history behind the zoning. Not a pleasant one.
Title seems misleading, it’s not all of California, mostly SoCal.
This is like an American complaining that the burger they got in Bangkok doesn’t taste like a Big Mac.

Every country has their own setup and typically it reflects a set of tradeoffs. Outsiders see the downsides but then seem not to see the upsides, or treat those upsides as intrinsic (via the essentialist fallacy) rather than the consequence of tradeoffs. In this case, Italians tend to value social connectedness and fierce regional affiliation, which as a cultural force has great benefits even while it drives corruption.

I’m not downplaying Italy’s crappy economic performance. It sucks, especially for the young and for the credentialed elite. But Italy is (intentionally or not) perhaps running a different race than aiming for the top of the GDP ranking list.
Nobody should use DoorDash or any other food-delivery service. These scumbags rip off restaurants, going so far as to hijack their online presence by putting up fake phone numbers and posing as the restaurant to take orders.

Go to the restaurant and get your own goddamned food, or learn how to cook. Don't feed these parasites.
Refer, again, to the example of Cuba’s COVID vaccine.
Those aren't general principles. They're just tricks. Some software uses them. No significant software paradigms are critically dependent on sparse files. Quite frankly almost no significant market-driving software uses them at all. Not sure what you have in mind, but a few examples might be helpful?

All of them have a straightforward expression using contiguous storage. At best, sparse files allow you to reduce application-layer complexity. But as I'm pointing out, that comes at the cost of filesystem-layer complexity up and down the stack and throughout the kernel, and that's a bad trade.
Isn't this exactly what you'd think would happen? If a job is worth $x in the free market and the state puts an artifical restriction on wages that they should be at least $x+y, one of two things must happen. Either the cost to customers goes up by y or the job disappears. Guess pizza is not worth x+y right now.
And the actual amount of work done for that wage is proportionate. Don't you just love economics?
> Pizza Hut fires all delivery drivers due to CA fast food minimum wage law

This is not the original headline and misrepresents the article, which is that two large Pizza Hut franchisees in CA are doing that.
Amazon always seemed uniquely positioned to do product-placement type ads for any show. They have demonstrated the basics with their “x-ray” overlays for shows and it’s not a big leap for them to use it as gateway for the online store. It currently displays information on actors in the specific scenes on screen.

Link to albums featured in the scene? Fashion? Small appliances shown in the protagonist’s kitchen?

(To be clear, I hate this. But it seems inevitable)
Ok. We are getting there.

You do agree there was a paid service that had no ads. We're good on that, right? No objections, I reckon.

I see you have a point with me and others calling it cable, when it was a subset of all the cable you could get. I readily concede your point here.

So ok, there was a fucking paid service that had no ads, and I have no hard data to back what I am going to say, but I strongly suspect that those premium channels were all that mattered for most people. I never ever found a house amongst my friends and family during the 90's that had only basic cable.

And this subset of people, who I suspect was a plurality of cable users, that cared most about those premium channels and paid for that, had the experience of seeing those channels introducing ads while charging the same for their packages.
There are self-checkout machines that now ask for a tip [1]...

I don't see tipping going away any time soon, more's the pity...

So does all of Chicago.
It's odd, since presumably if everyone stopped paying for Prime for the fast shipping, Amazon probably would go back to shipping things slower since it's almost definitely pretty expensive to do so, but since so many people pay for Prime to get the fast shipping, everyone else nearly gets it for free because the system has to be optimized enough to cover the demands of Prime customers.
Nice customer obsession.
Why is this regulating just fastfood workers?!
Falsely?? How about a source for that bs?
Worst things could happen than food delivery evaporating due to living wages making it economically unviable.
I don't understand why this law wouldn't apply to doordash and uber eats as well.
SBC - single board computer
You are confusing wage with income.
There's a separate minimum wage for delivery services that use pseudo-contractors. It's 20% higher than standard minimum wage but only when they're actively on their way to/from a delivery
I would definitely make permalinks to each activity and make the “surprise me” button navigate so you can hit back.

This is pretty neat! I think it’s actually nice that the list of activities is not enormously long, because at a certain point it would just feel like too much work to dig through an entire dictionary of possible things to do. So, if you wanted to keep working on it, I might focus more on refining what you have, for example you could have “how to get started” links on each activity.
The originally submitted title ('Chicago zoning in the style of SimCity' or words to that effect) was much more informative.
The $20 min wage is only for fast food workers. I’ve seen a study that showed that Uber drivers actually make below minimum wage after accounting for gas and wear and tear too.

Food inflation is down. Housing has been dysfunctional for some time, although rents should decline in the near term. While emotionally turbulent for these workers, they’re getting churned in a favorable labor market. Not unsympathetic by any means, simply pragmatic.
