If you accept the argument that companies "with a commanding share of the market" should be forced to open up their products, then you can emulate the antitrust remedy the EU put into place for Microsoft in the Windows client/server market (for example, products like Novell Netware or Samba).

Microsoft was required to open up the algorithms and APIs required to become a Windows Server, Domain Controller, file server, print server, group policy object Server... everything.

That's how Samba on Linux became a completely compatible Windows domain controller. Microsoft was required to share all the information and APIs Samba required.

Do the same thing with Office software. Don't just claim the file formats are open, force the release of the algorithms needed to interpret the data in those files to allow opening modifying and saving changes in a completely compatible manner.

> Microsoft has given up its nine-year fight against antitrust regulators in Europe, saying yesterday that it would not challenge a court judgment from last month and would share technical information with rivals on terms the software giant had long resisted.

European regulators and some software groups in Europe hailed the deal as a breakthrough that should open the door to freer competition, especially in the market for the server software that powers corporate data centers and the Internet.

I was just talking to my wife about this. We were watching a Christmas movie via the free “Christmas Classics” app and the catch is that you see an ad every 5-10 minutes. These ads were so goofy and dumb that it felt like I was watching the pretend ads on Rick and Morty.
No. Comments by dang are always me.

I think the world of programmers have spent a bit too much time trying to avoid pointers, inventing a whole bunch of different languages, mechanisms and with them a horde of other problems and useless complexities. Instead of this utter wastage, why not just use C?

There is no difference anymore, the only difference is the scale.

Back then, consumers got nothing, governments got largge computers (room sized+), then consumers got microcomputers (desktop sized), governments got larger mainframes, consumers got PCs, government got big-box supercomputers,...

And now? Consumers get x86_64 servers, governments get x86_64 servers, and the only difference is how much money you have, how many servers can you buy and how much space, energy and cooling you need to run them.

well, "normal users" get laptops and smartphones, but geek-consumers buy servers... and yeah, I know arm is an alternative.
It’s important to note this happened 2 days after the launch. They probably have to be somewhat liberal with what forecasted conditions are allowed during the return trip given the added uncertainty for that time span. Otherwise, they’d be having to scrub launches much more often. Pour one out for B1058 and move on, I think.

I wasn't really around at the time but I think around 10-15 years ago there was a lot more optimism around open source games since that's where a lot of these [abandoned] projects come from. The dream of an open-source utopia probably died out for a few reasons but one fact is that many of those open source games were shit. Imagine being a kid whose friends all have a DS and mario kart but your dad is a big FOSS advocate and only lets you play SuperTuxKart..

Another reason is direction. The idea of having many random people contribute whatever they come up with works well for a lot of boring "practical" software but probably not very well for games, except things like Nethack and CDDA where having everything including the kitchen sink is one of the main points
You'll notice. I was in New York and wanted to get a good pizza. I called the place my friend recommended to place a delivery order, and it arrived 40 minutes late and cold. To add insult to injury, we didn't get some of the other items we ordered. We called back the pizza place, there was massive confusion, and then finally they said that we'd have to take it up with DoorDash. We had to argue for 10 minutes before they finally got the driver to deliver the rest of our stuff.
> How do you split if ctrl+w is cut word instead?

Before I tell you how, I want to tell you the 2 reasons why I don't like splitting with Ctrl-W: 1) because I think Ctrl-W should the same thing as on readline or emacs 2) because even if existing uses of Ctrl-W were removed from the picture, splitting with Ctrl-W use 3 keys. Why use 3 keys when you can use 2?

I like short sequences, and chording, and there are many 2 keys sequences that are free to use if you know where to look for: I prefer to use what can only be done with MOK sequences, because these sequences are more likely to have a degree of redundancy.

For example, Ctrl-I duplicates Tab: if you use a MOK you can have Tab do something (indent) while Ctrl-I does something else (jump in the edit history). Ctrl-I is "free to use" without limiting function, because keyboards generally have a Tab key. These are "sensible defaults", because most people do that in other editors.

My splits are mapped to MOK sequences (Ctrl-; Ctrl-' Ctrl-\ Ctrl-/ Ctrl-`) but I've thought it may not be a good idea because 1) it's more unusual and 2) I rarely use split in vim so I don't think I can make an educated choice besides having Ctrl-T start a new tab (like it does on a browser), so I've left them out: I've just left the "echo" part.

If splitting is important to you, and you want to try out these MOKs, search for "echomsg.*was hit" and bind your windows split around line 256. I would like to know what you think of these. I may trust your judgement more than mine, if only because I don't use splits much in vim.

If you think these MOKs does the job for you, and if you think splits are important, let me know and I'll add the split mappings to the defaults for the next release (EOY, it may include a CuteBash)

nope, cable was ad-free when I was a kid (also of the 80's).

It's possible you were in an area with a shitty cable company, but many of us did not deal with ads while watching HBO, Cinemax, etc.

There would sometimes be advertising between shows about other shows and while that's technically advertising it's not what people mean when they talk about ads (or the lack thereof). They're talking about interruption of content to show an advertisement.

and yes, cable would also carry local channels, which had ads. No, that's not what people are referring to when they say cable did, or did not, have ads.
That's connected to this guideline (from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html): "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."

If people submit primarily their own stuff, our software eventually starts classifying the account as "promotional" and starts filtering the posts.

People are totally welcome to submit their own work—that's great—but to use HN as intended, they should do that as part of a diverse set of submissions on unrelated/interesting things. There are too many bloggers/marketers/writers out there that use HN merely as yet-another-channel for the content they're pushing, and that's definitely not in the curious spirit which is supposed to animate HN.

It's entirely possible that they would lose money on deliveries.

Not just make less profit, but actually lose money.

And it makes zero sense for the profit from eat-in diners to subsidize delivery. If delivery loses money, you end it.
Technically this is a benefit as it would bring economies of scale - many restaurants can now enjoy delivery since they all share the same delivery network, resulting in more efficient delivery across the board.
Hey, you're welcome to your thoughts and opinions but, well, you asked. I was trying to give you a different mental model to help visualize why I said what I said.

Honestly, at least in my area, 2-day shipping stopped being accurate or meaningful the second they introduced free 2-day shipping with prime. It actually worked and expedited things before then. It doesn't now.
> Even if you were trying to avoid any issue with patent and totally build a unique product, you'd still want to start with people who know the problem space vs. re-training people.

Sorry, that's ridiculous. If you were genuinely trying to avoid IP pollution, hiring employees from existing market leaders is the worst possible strategy.

Again, people are twisting themselves around here. Apple got caught red handed here. Argue, if you must, that the patent is invalid from first principles and that any staff could have done it. But the fact that they went and hired all these folks to do it in the real world absolutely constitutes strong evidence to the contrary.
18 more than most!
It makes sense if there's some replacement available. Less so, if there's none (unless you're Apple itself of course...)
It means peace/world in Russian. He said so in his rubykaigi keynote. Given that, the more peace in this world, the better, I think.

Back in 2000s I was all in the bash make unix camp. That was for ten years or so. Now I realize that it was just a religion, at least on my part. Python and Node and their libs are thousands of times better than all that nonsense (including arcanes like CMake).

I have a whole folder of personal tools I’ve written in bash, and had a similar set for make. Some of them I don’t want to touch, but when I have to, I just rewrite them in Node with a little io/ipc helper library I created and it feels like a breath of fresh air.
All the teams in the company (Indian) i(Indian) work at have migrated from node to Java. And same is being expected of our team as well.

Java is really over prevalent in my circle. This leads to interviewers/companies expecting Java fluency. This means either join the boat or not get job opportunities. Vicious circle.

I'm not a Java fan but alas have to give up.
it's a fun article, but I would liked to have seen at least a brief mention of power consumption comparison among the four designs.
I’m curious how often the strings are not in agreement. Is this a very rare occurrence or does it happen often?
It appears that you're simultaneously admitting that the article excluded information that did not fit the narrative they wanted as well as using it in your own narrative? It sounds like the article has issues like the threads article.

I believe stigma is a function of societal views and norms. In America anything besides the nuclear family with a married male and female parent is still stigmatized. I believe we can largely thank religious influence for that. Stigma is a reality, and the stigma I was referring to was that anything besides that male<->female relationship is often deemed incompatible with "moral" living.
Are you arguing in good faith ? Do you have any facts that Hamas is not doing that ? There are quite a few accounts I've read that say this.
Fighting from within civilian areas is a core strategy of Hamas, and yes I've read Hamas would hold people at gunpoint to stay where they are and not flee.

All your second paragraph - we're actually agreeing and not arguing. It's way too difficult for Gazans to leave, that's why it's not happening in big numbers. That and Hamas violently preventing it now.
Fuse-T works as a drop-in replacement for the traditional FUSE. And pretty good I must say. You don’t notice the NFS part, it’s all handled by fuse-t itself.
That’s because CMake calls make or an equivalent (ninja, xcodebuild…) that actually does all the dependency checking!
It's not only the coming ads and all the non-free movies (which is indeed annoying) but it also seems like Amazon just isn't making much good content. I enjoyed their Man in the High Castle series, but that's been years ago now. Rings of Power was... disappointing - I'd probably like to season 2 hoping that maybe learned from some of their mistakes and improved it, but it's not like I'm waiting on the edge of my seat. They're just not making content that's at the same level as Netflix, Max (HBO) or even AppleTV.

I know that Scientology has historically had a lot of influence in the entertainment industry. But I feel like that has seriously waned since its peak in the 1970's or 80's, so I'm surprised you don't see more of these episodes turned into movies or TV series.
Why would you expect there to be one? It’s all the same stuff and has been for decades.
I've also seen anecdotal evidence where the percentage options weren't actually right - they were way more than what the percentage would actually be.

My theory, assuming this wasn't an outright fake, is that the options were actually free-form text (with a percentage set separately and not obviously displayed) and the scumbag running the place set the title to let's say "15%", with the actual underlying percentage much higher.
They also bamboozled the voters. In 2019 the CA legislature passed AB5 in reaction to Uber being independent contractors. AB5 applies to tons of other industries too, including software development. It's extremely difficult to write software on contract in California now. Uber then created Proposition 22 and managed to get it passed, which exempted the original target of AB5, themselves, but left all sorts of other independent contractors still covered by AB5.
Yes though they tend to be mechanically tuned. So like a pneumatic computer or will get tuned to operate into some range of inputs and you probably bench prototype it before you mass produce it
Spend a significant amount of time in the state and get back to me about what's possible. I'll wait. Note you're talking about an area only slightly smaller than New Zealand with roughly identical population numbers to Santa Barbara County, 1 third of whom are either students at UWyo or migrating roughnecks with no dog in that fight. Ignoring the handful of millionaires clustered around Jackson Hole the rest of the population of the state are (taken in aggregate) heavily armed and utterly disinterested in the federal government's position on anything. You send a handful of well-intentioned game wardens from out of state into that mess and you're gonna have folks start disappearing.

The SAT has math questions ranging from easy to hard-ish. Plenty of the questions have very obvious answers.

I find all the streaming services to be basically chock full of B movies, few that are worth seeing and many that never were released in theaters.

Usually there is one or two blockbuster movies, a few classics from the 80s or 90s. HBO used to be a little better in this regard.

I miss the red envelope Netflix, that was a deep quality catalog.

The problem with globbing is gratuitous matches. If a.cc depends on l.h and m.h, and b.cc only depends on m.h, doing a glob in the dependencies ( $(wildcard…) ) will unnecessarily rebuild b.o if l.h changes.
it sounds like a reasonable approach, though some algorithms like string search may be trickier to implement than they would be with a simpler data structure, because a string may cross piece boundaries, maybe even more than once

you don't even need parent references; you can just assign synthetic sequence identifiers to the pieces and rely on sql lexicographical ordering to put them in order. (sql is not really very good with parent references.) this would be handy when you want to annotate the text with things like line numbers and syntax highlighting information. you wouldn't get undo for free, though

Nah - there are lots of places where you need EEs still. Anything that interfaces with the world. Having programmability does not move most challenges out of the domain of EE. Much of it is less visible than the output of a software role perhaps.

one thing worth remembering is that a bigger computer runs into a lot more radiation. the cortex m0 is about .03mm^2 vs about .2m^2 for the Apollo guidance computer. as such, the m0 will see about 6 million times less radiation.

It was simple not so long ago. You either buy stuff or pirate it. Then everything moved to the subscription model. You don’t own what you’ve bought anymore. And now you have to watch ads while being a paying customer. It feels like pirating was a better option all this time.

Gist of the article seemed to be:

- top concern for CEOs the coming year following RTO = productivity

You run into ToCToU issues. Even if a chip is "open", how can you be sure the chip you have corresponds to the specification? If that isn't a concern, any FPGA based SoC fits the bill, for example the MNT Reform Kintex-7 module (https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-rkx7-fpga-module).
Yep, IIRC we got 3 months of free prime in 2023. And maybe paid the $1.99 a couple of times. I think what they notice is that you'll order more stuff if you've got Prime and so once in a while they'll offer you a free week or month ( or a $1.99 week). If that's what their algorithm is doing then you should not order anything (or order a lot less) when you don't have Prime and only order from them after you've been offered it for free in order to train their algorithm.
>> others point out that the LVDC actually contains triply-redundant logic. The logic gives 3 answers and the voting mechanism picks the winner.

This is a very minor point... but three of something isn't triple redundancy: it's double redundancy. Two is single redundancy, one is no redundancy.

Unless the voting mechanism can somehow produce a correct answer from differing answers from all three implementations of the logic, I don't understand how it could be considered triply redundant. Is the voting mechanism itself functionally a fourth implementation?
American zoning is typically—though not always—cumulative (aka Euclidean) as well. I believe Chicago is an exception to the norm though. The problem is also that people just don't often want to live in a commercial or industrial zone even if they have the right.
