Afaik, the original term came from Cunningham, and was well defined. It got diluted and abused until it lost its meaning, just like so much other terms

Shipping first time code is like going into debt. A little debt speeds development so long as it is paid back promptly with a rewrite. [...] The danger occurs when the debt is not repaid. Every minute spent on not-quite-right code counts as interest on that debt. Entire engineering organizations can be brought to a stand-still under the debt load of an unconsolidated implementation [...].
It’s also a description of why native wasn’t chosen from the get go.

This thread is people who ship products vs people who ship engineering.
Yes, that's exactly how train stations were built around the centre of London. It's the same in Paris, for instance, where the stations' names make it more obvious.

It's also interesting to see the reach of London. Many people as far as Oxford and Cambridge seem to commute into London.
> Wasn't it just a couple of years ago that we had shell shock?

Yes, but Bash (or any other shell) isn't part of coreutils.

it's not fair since the original comment said nothing of the sorts, and this effect is just a theory
In surprise move, Gentoo Linux starts offering binaries
You don't have to like what I'm saying for it to be true.

If two people set out to build something like Figma - one in HTMX and one in LiveView - only one is going to ship.

That's not passive aggressive. It is as you say, an actual technical point.
There are many reasons artists make their work available for others - enriching hustlers who crap on the artist’s work while making a buck is probably low on the list though.
Also he had the decency to make up his own symbols (sent to newspapers on a floppy disk!) rather than just using the X11 logo for some reason.
https://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php is also an invaluable resource.

Also, The National Library of Scotland has old OS maps in a pretty nice interface, in case useful: https://maps.nls.uk/os/
Family account is 29.99 € /month for 3TB with no clear way to add more storage.

Meanwhile, kSuite is 6,58€ / month for every 3TB. And email storage is unlimited.

I am not an Infomaniak employee, I am merely deGoogling here.
You take away the importance of getting bookstore shelf space, material marketing and book tours (good luck getting that), etc. and publishers add less and less for a huge cut. As I commented ed elsewhere I almost certainly benefited non-monetarily from going with a well-known technical publisher but I wouldn’t do it going forward at this point for various reasons.
For many people, reading is a fun escape into an alternative reality that they would never want to live out in real life. If they want to escape into a world of dark romance tropes featuring psychopathic male leads, more power to them and to the authors they're supporting.
There is one for data processing here: https://github.com/jinyus/related_post_gen
This was my reaction as well.

The only people I've ever known to have lost their license were either drunk driving or speeding excessively (ie 35mph+ over the posted speed limit).

How do you innocently lose your license on multiple occassions?
We have no idea how to even get the business to consider that.

Explain to them that the depreciation/amortization rates are higher due to a lower initial capital expenditure.

Also, encourage your management to engage in Activity Based Costing instead of throwing darts at a wall.
I'm convinced this is what most tech oriented books are about, not so much about earning money from a book, but putting "Author of xyz" on their CV and website; "you literally wrote the book on xyz, you are an authority on xyz"
If you want to send a million $ in USDC, BTC or another digital asset, can't you just send 9999 100 times and resolve the difference on fees?
I'm loving this thread about the 1D Pac-Man bot. mrb starts with a great concept and then AnotherGoodName comes in and boosts its performance. It's like a mini hackathon in here!
That is indeed unusual and very impressive, congratulations! Are you willing to share any more details? E.g. fiction or non-fiction, genre, distribution channel, how you made your income? Thank you!
Bullshit to your bullshit. React native is mostly interpreted Javascript-based additional layer on top of a platform native components.
> People like to shit on GPL, yet Linux and GCC would never had happened if it wasn't for it.

Why wouldn't it?

FreeBSD seems alive and well, and its doing quite well for itself despite not having as many upstream corporate contributions. And why should freebsd care if Apple, Sony and Microsoft repurpose their software? If something I wrote ended up in macos and the PS5 I'd think that was pretty cool.
i thought the same -

I was told early on at uni that you're going to forget almost everything here or things change and you won't need this info

but hopefuly you'll develop an engineering mindset
Really hoping this isn't a book telling you how to make money by self-publishing, or similar.

Self-publishing as discussed elsewhere, is certainly the way to go, otherwise those profits would have gone to the publishers.
Also it may or may not be relevant to not exclude the warm up time for JIT languages. If it is for a calculation you will do continuously, including the warm up time may bias the results materially (I know for .net it can be significant).

> follow the "from git" installation instructions here [1] BUT, before running `./configure`, run these export commands [2] to make sure that the openssl files are found

I should add that to the install instructions for macOS, although in the CI it seems to work without the include flags (keep in mind I don't own a Mac, so my testing abilities are limited).
I’m not sure it’s a continuous supply-demand curve but you get out of the “normal” discounted range—say above $15–and people will really think twice.

The evolution of mrb's Pac-Man bot through community input, especially AnotherGoodName's contribution, is a perfect example of the power of collective brainstorming in tech. It's like watching a good idea become great through teamwork!
Wow, that's horrible. Sending $1m nets $560 in fees.

That's like 5.6 million times worse than typical Solana fees.

That's a Michelin-star meal. Or two.
Doesn’t that get mostly optimised away by the cpu branch prediction?
That's important. But if the application is not meeting the business' needs (as a finished product) what good is "keeping it that way"? In fact, as the business evolves, so must the application. That is "keeping it that way" means keeping your fingers on the pulse of requirements.
Don't forget that these also have experienced publisher and marketing networks behind them; on their own the books are a dime a dozen, it's the publishers that make it popular.
I may be a very grug-brained „junior programmer“ but I literally never had to implement an algorithm from scratch in a 5 year „career“.
Neither did any of my colleagues, who are as a rule smarter and working on harder problems than me.
I did it using maps and generics and implemented a subset of the convenience methods that python has in sets.
Cool strawman. Take it to a farm, where it's useful.
The truth has no obligation to be uplifting or helpful.
You missed his point. How is FreeBSD harmed by corporations using it? Specifically, is FreeBSD being extinguished ( other than by Linux )?
Personally, I think this is where Patreon (and similar) shine. Allows 'true fans' to support directly with a much smaller cut than traditional distribution/publishing mechanisms, whilst also not requiring long-term subscriptions.

... I mean, I think there definitely _is_. The "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy" bumper stickers have been fairly popular, right?
That's an unusual and excellent outcome! But congratulations for your success!

I've published three non-fiction books. The first was self published and got noticed by Entrepreneur press. They published the second two.

Despite being a bestseller in the business category, I've made probably only about $30,000 from them. I've been told that mine is also an atypical result as most authors make next to nothing.

Despite having plenty of things to write about, I've since decided there are much better uses for my time.
That they get to fight at all may be the reasoning.
Structuring like that is explicitly mentioned in the tax code and is forbidden.

I’ve lived in America all my life, and it isn’t commonly brought up in my American peer group.

You’re also conflating the perception of intellect with the actual possession of it. It seems like you don’t have much confident in your measure of either. Maybe find a therapist. Help with this is beyond the scope of HN comments.

There are countless people who have not attended a top tier college, e.g. people who might be regarded as “intellectually inferior” who are richer than you and I. Meditate on that.

Why ? I see an unhealthy obsession online with people "trying to see" if others are suggesting children should be molested. Doesnt matter what he thinks: what he said makes sense, teenagers, especially above 16, start maturing in a way that is sometimes incompatible with strict sharia-style law and they should be, if not left alone, at least guided gently.

Ask HN: Long-term approach for distinguishing AI content?
The way AI is going, it seems inevitable that the internet will soon be awash in untold quantities of AI-generated content which will be of low value, but impossible to distinguish from human-generated content. This will cause problems for anyone who wants to limit their contact to authentic content: for example, curl [0] has been receiving bogus bug reports from AI, which uselessly consume maintainer time. To say nothing of the fact that social network sites, already full of low-value content, will have an even lower signal-to-noise ratio as effective filtering becomes impossible.

So, I turn to the HN community: like, what's the plan? Five years from now, how will the internet still be usable?

- Will we need to have locked-down hardware platforms that cryptographically sign all "authentic" content?

- Will the promise of the open internet be lost as we restrict communication to only those sources we know personally?

- Will we rely on "trustworthy" third parties to mediate content via opaque means?

It seems like something big has to change and I'd love your perspective.

I find interesting Wozniak being interested and sharing his thoughts about C compilers at 73.
Onyx Boox. They run full Android, which means sync with Play Books, Kindle, Libby, etc.
Why does it print only the version in 7.2.3? I'm using the Docker image FWIW.
Even if antivenom was stable at room temperature, that’s far from the only reason you can’t take it with you. Administration challenges, identifying the snake correctly and i.e. the right antivenom to use, variation in doses needed—which may well be multiple vials, the list goes on.

Further, even with antivenom administered, a person is likely to experience a range of side effects and symptoms that would be life threatening emergencies even in if they were inside an ICU, let alone out in the field. Without the compliment of an equipped medical professional and supportive care, antivenom may well do more harm than good in the immediate aftermath of envenomation.

Far better to get the person out of harms way and follow your local first aid procedure for snakebites. In Australia for example, that’s the pressure immobilisation technique, but in other countries it’ll depend on the venom in question. Rattlesnake venom is often necrotising and a tourniquet may cause more harm. Anything that buys more time is key.
Assuming they’re going in with eyes open, totally. It’s also a good forcing function to dive deeper into a topic than you might otherwise do.

And traditional technical publishers are probably a more effective route for this reason even if you’re leaving some direct money on the table.
It's almost as if you didn't read the first sentence in your own link, which states that this "is a theorized phenomenon", not some established law of practical software development nature. So instead of knee-jerk posting of a "proof" as a response to a criticism of a knee-jerk pointing to the existence of some risk or pointing to some straw man of zero risks you might actually realize that the main thing that matters for such an assessment is an actual assessment
Like many people who go on about free speech a lot, he just has his own personal definition; free speech, for Elon, _clearly_ is a term of art meaning speech that Elon approves of. There's no other way to read his actions.
People who want stable interfaces should not touch anything Linux with a ten-foot pole.

You seem to have a pretty strong but not necessarily very substantiated opinion about the topic. I really suggest you read a bit about it, if you're so inclined. E.g. Admiral Cloudberg has been mentioned in this thread, it's a very good resource of accident recaps and the impulses they give for regulations and developments.

In contrary to what you're implying, "we've always done it like this" is not a principle of aviation safety.

Indeed you'd be hard-pressed to find any other globally coordinated system that is so dedicated to and successful at the gargantuan task of continually improving itself, a trillion dollar industry, and regulatory bodies all over the world. A five decades long track record of drastically reducing fatalities in the face of rising passenger miles speaks for itself.

To put it a bit bluntly, I'm pretty sure they don't need to be told that it would be "just as simple as (...), because that works for an elevator".
Maybe they got tired of people making unsubstantiated remarks that were never made for bsdutils, busybox or toybox ? Just look at the level of the current HN discussion.
Need help choosing between Ruby on Rails vs Node JS? Ruby on Rails is unparalleled for creating full-stack web applications/CMS/CPU-intensive apps in record times. In contrast, Node JS primarily provides robust, scalable, and performant server-side and API development services alongside microservices. They both have their benefits, trade-offs, and other important considerations. Today, we are comparing Ruby on Rails to Node JS to determine which framework is better for your project.

Why do you say it's commodified though ? We have a lot of fun, we cannot get away from each other a minute and we deeply connect. We re never bored, we never fight long. I've had sex with her every day for 8 months, yes, but does that make it a commodity ? I would assume it would be if I was trading it or changing partners all the time ? The key to make sex good is to make it somehow special each time rather than a boring obligation: isnt that the opposite of commodification? Arent bored couples fucking every 2 sundays able to trade one memory for the other as if there was no difference, the definition of a commodity ?

I dont think it's that unhealthy and we're very special to each other and I love my girlfriend immensely. Still we fuck a lot, and I would never go back to someone not compatible with me, who cannot get excited, and cannot diversify bed activities (not their fault, just not compatible)...

You should try to make your partner come often, it's really more fun than pretending sex has to be rare and holy ! Bah you'll see when you find someone so special you just cant not desire them. Money, exoticism, vibrators and brutal honesty are the key to find it in my limited experience.
My heuristic is:

Building is relatively easy. Deciding what to build? That's the 10x harder part.

The experienced realize this. The less experienced, much less so.
I mean, Twitter.com will always go somewhere; if Twitter disintegrates the IP will be bought up by someone or other, and probably revived sans Elon. I recognise the temptation to look for a conspiracy (Musk is destroying Twitter because [insert Bond-villain plot here]) but, really, Occam's razor says that he's just destroying it because he's incompetent.

> That's like 5.6 million times worse than typical Solana fees.

And how much will it cost to get move into and out from SOL?
Yeah, I realize that, but they are almost identical for something that's not a series.
People won't put it aside man. If you don't know why then you don't understand people.
I agree that the hyped-up language is off-putting.

It is however not at all typical for academic publications and blog posts.

In the few times I have seen it before, the author was always a PhD student and a non-native speaker (as it happens from China) and this case is no exception. They were also all smart people, so I am optimistic that with time their writing style will become more attractive.
AFAIK, Cosmopolitan only works well if your program only depends on the libc. Even if you statically compile Dillo and the FLTK, you still would need a graphic Xorg server. For Linux and BSDs may work, but in macOS I think it won't, as for that platform you need the FLTK to link against macOS graphic libraries.
The most immediate and palpable threat is the erosion of privacy. The notion that "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is a dangerously simplistic view that ignores the fundamental importance of privacy as a human right. Privacy is not about hiding wrongdoing; it is about maintaining individual autonomy, freedom of thought, and the right to a personal life unscrutinized by an overreaching state.

But the risks extend far beyond privacy. History has shown us, time and again, that tools created for one purpose can and often are repurposed for more sinister ends. A government, benign today, could transform into a malicious entity tomorrow, wielding these surveillance capabilities to suppress dissent, manipulate public opinion, and maintain power through fear and control. The technological infrastructure for a surveillance state, once established, becomes a formidable tool in the hands of an oppressive regime.
That's not really a good description though. Milk is still relatively cheap - the problem is that there a number of new milk substitutes (soy milk? yogurt?) that have come one the market that people want more then plain old milk.

Those new milk substitutes are great but they're not cheap. We can certainly get the people making them to sell them cheaper. The only downside is that the disincentive to create still newer milk substitutes.

If you're really happy with the status quo - or even really happy with plain old milk - then this is a good situation. If you wonder about something better then this is good touched by a bit of worry.
The Genesis Book
I understood it eventually but both the description and animation were confusing at first.

I think I would have been a lot less confused if there weren't so much hype and buildup about how simple it was gonna be.

Maybe it really is easier to implement than LRU. I'll give the benefit of the doubt on that.

But conceptually it's way more complex. I understand the LRU concept immediately from the name alone.

All the later hype was off-putting too, in a way that reduces trust. I simply do not believe the author is being candid due to the marketing speak. Maybe those parts of the post can just be ignored but it leaves a lingering uncertainty about even the technical points.
