To demonstrate that I'm not an economist: PE is a more specific than just private company. Boeing sold its Wichita division to an "investment firm". An investment firm is essentially a company that buys and sells companies. Typically they're focused on short-term profits to juice the stock price before it's sold.

Spirit was created and sold to the investment firm (Onex) in 2006, and Onex turned around and sold its the last of its stake in Spirit in 2014. Onex got over $3 billion for their initial $375 million stake in Spirit. The cost, as we're rediscovering, is that quality of Spirit's product went to shit and the long-term viability of Spirit is in question.

This sentiment taps in a generic meme that has infected society of late.

Starting from the fact that many professionals made many mistakes over time, the meme trips you into concluding that if there were no people in that category of "professionals" , then these mistakes wouldn't be made and somehow society would just work "correctly" if it wasn't for those pesky "professionals".

This meme builds on a time-honored meme that comes in vary forms such as "a member of that other ethnic group committed this crime; if we only got rid of all members of that ethnic group then those crimes wouldn't happen"

I just mark all marketing emails as spam now. Since I never want them, I can't have opted in to it so it's spam. Seems very effective at having my email provider forward all future emails from them to spam and hopefully tarnishes their sender trust rating a little.

1) Schmidhuber does NOT claim to have invented it. He even provides lots of really old references. You know it's old when he didn't invent it, at least in his own mind.

2) even with his generous attributions, "the first application of backpropagation to neural networks" is from 1980.

3) "LeCun et al. (1989) applied backpropagation to Fukushima’s convolutional architecture (1979)".

In other words, the chain rule is really old but figuring out how to use that to adjust weights in neural nets was surprisingly unobvious. It was even more unobvious that that was a good way of adjusting weights.

i don't make memory safety errors in C or C++.

i'd recommend embracing hungarian naming (if you call it apps-hungarian you've not embraced it fully enough, read older documentation) and be as rigid as rust about using it. i-, c-, p-, and Max are your best friends, don't declare one of those without declaring all the others that you will need.

using hungarian, adopt naming conventions about Open/Close, Init/Finish, Alloc/Free, Start/End, Alpha/Omega, or whatever, and apply them rigidly to any class/struct (with indentation that's obvious). When you put in an Open, you go and put the Close in at that moment, just as you would close any paren you opened. don't return from all over the place in a function, goto endblock and free what needs freeing, you need to work on autopilot not thinking through the twists and turns to play monte carlo with getting it right. If you are going to return an allocation, your name needs to be Open, Init, etc. Use whatever words you want, but it's got to be something that makes you as the caller think "this is an open paren, i need to close it"

using ifdef debug type mechanisms, hook malloc and free and put guard word asserts at the beginning and end of every allocation, and magic number ids and reference counts in all structs, and hook main() and exit() so you check those for leaks. all. the. time.

work in a systematic way that avoids problems and make that your priority, everything else like functionality is slaved to that.

I visited the Whipple Museum of the History of Science in Cambridge last month; from their display, I think Darwin and Wallace were limited by the instruments rather than their transportation. Microscopes were very expensive back then, and Darwin at least felt he had to prove his worth as a scientist using his microscope before being taken seriously about anything else.

I find it very amusing that most of the people who abhor dynamic linking of libraries and executables as an over-complex, error-prone mistake of computer history these days seem to have not the faintest trace of restraint when they're about to turn EVERYTHING into a RPC/RMI over complex, multi-layer (and I don't mean OSI), often completely proprietary and opaque network abstractions like there's no tomorrow.

Thanks for the link. That's interesting to me. I was not confused about nano vs micro plastic. In my research before installing, I see the membrane size is about 1/10th that of nanoplastic size, hence thought it would remove them. For microplastic most non-RO filters can already remove them.
I broadly agree with that sentiment and have often struggled with that same concept in media. However in the books, Jessica not only heavily portrays lots of traits typically considered feminine, but her stoicism is one of them. Dune is a hard book to adapt; so much of the characterisation happens via internal monologues that are necessary to contextualise a lack of externalised reaction (everyone is putting on airs the whole time, basically.) But Jessica's Bene Gesserit emotional control is a clear parallel with the way women are often forced to sublimate emotion in every facet of society in order to be taken as seriously as their male counterparts. I re-read the first three books a few weeks ago and was absolutely dumbstruck by how Herbert's Bene Gesserit and Jessica as well could've been an artefact from this decade, not six decades ago. It's still a salient representation of gender roles half a century later. I liked the most recent Dune just fine, and I adore Rebecca Ferguson is just about everything, but this change to her character really bothered me for that.

Because it's not very difficult to lurk on forums like this and get a pretty accurate idea of which programming languages are on the way in or out. Or look at GitHub/Stackoverflow surveys and data if you want something quantitative.

I don't think many people thought C++ was dead 20 years ago; that seems like revisionism. Same with Java.

People looking for a C++ replacement have definitely moved on to Rust, Zig and maybe Go & Nim. Not D. I don't see how you could seriously argue otherwise.

Some languages are pretty easy to predict, e.g. Ruby is going to decline quite quickly. C++ is going to stick around for a long time because of its current enormous usage. PHP will probably stick around for a while but slowly decline like Visual Basic and Perl. Rust is going to gain in popularity for a long time and probably stick around for a very long time.

Some are more difficult to predict. I'm not sure what will happen to Go or Nim for example.
The article left me with a lot of questions. What does "bottled" water even mean? Is it bottled in PET or glass? "Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was common, which is not unusual as it’s what many water bottles are made of". Right but what about the samples in question?

Also "microplastics are showing up literally everywhere on Earth – from the bottom of oceans to the top of mountains". But what about deep fountains, where the mineral water we drink at home is gathered? Maybe the 40m of soil filters the particles, maybe not.
There's thousands of alternatives though, it's assessing them that's difficult.

Anecdotal, we moved to Xenforo some years ago, it was built by the people that built vB before version 3 / before it was bought up and made shit. It's nothing fancy but it has everything you need. It doesn't get updated very often either, but then, it's feature-complete; vB suffered from feature bloat, including stuff like adding a CMS to it.

Ubuntu Pro is of course aimed at enterprise users, and here it makes perfect sense to use it. ISO27001 compliance, CIS-Level evaluation with the Ubuntu Security Guide, 10 year security maintenance, live kernel updates for less downtime, better AD integration, automatic software deployment, 24/7 support, etc. These things matter in a company setting.
To be honest... it doesn't feel like an improvement, more like another way to control users' behavior.

It is quite common that if program B competes with program A, program A will go to great lengths to make sharing cumbersome and keep the users in program A. (e.g. try to open a medium post in the medium app from a linkedin feed).

There is a substantial… feel… difference in using a well gced language that isn’t tied to a monolithic runtime. A big part of that is having zero perceptible startup overhead, since it isn’t parsing a class path or trying to load a bunch of dlls or anything beyond what your code explicitly doe + a much more minimalistic than you might expect GC runtime. Often only 20-30kb of machine code.

While it hasn’t really taken off yet, I’ll point to nim, specifically with its very recently stable arc GC, as a very compelling local (at least) maximum in this space.
dang is not reading every single post in real tieme, so posts may get unoticed and the guidelines ask to send an email instead.

In this case, it looks like some comments are giving good advice about the tradeoff and how to fix it, so I have to agree with you.
Strongly recommend you use a knowledge engine like glean (or one of it's many competitors) at work - pulls together slack, google docs/sheets, confluence, github - single place to filter by date, document type, who it's from, etc....

Oh, how did you find that? Some inside knowledge about HN or is that a well-known path published by Cloudflare sites?

Edit: Seems to work also for at least some other Cloudflare sites. Interestingly HN is served from Stockholm (behind a sea cable) while others are served from Helsinki (should be closer). Not enough hackers here in Finland?

Edit 2: Works also on sites where Turnstyle keeps me out.
That reminds me of Elm. It has (had?) so much potential if it only were more open with accepting contributions.
If you don't have state of the art GC, it's a burden to have in your language since it'll cripple performance, GC pausing threads, collection becoming slower as your heap grows and memory fragmentation for example

D doesn't have state of the art GC, it perhaps should focus on its strengths, being a better C/C++ and embrace the concept of allocators

https://dlang.org/phobos/std_experimental_allocator.html

To me D shine with its -betterC mode, it completely strip the runtime, giving you a great low level language to work with, a great better C/C++, I would have quit D a long time ago if it didn't have this compiler flag
GP isn't wrong though. There genuinely are total hell codebases. Not everyone is as dedicated to their craft like Mozart was. There are levels. And some teams and individuals do indeed produce better outcomes because not only they know how but also show how.
Your last sentence is almost the only reply the article requires.
It depends how terminally online you are too. Even not actively looking for it, you'll eventually see it. Probably less likely these days than on the wild west internet ~y2k. But visiting enough forums and going to enough personal pages at the time eventually put you in front of some NSFL content. Or at least a link that you didn't actively look for but now have an option of clicking purely out of curiousity.

So what? A few generations ago they said the same thing about Jews which was why they added extra admissions criteria in the first place. If one person has proven to be more academically qualified than another, they should be admitted. It doesn’t matter if they’re Jewish, Asian (which is an entire continent so it’s a bit silly to lump them all together, as if someone from China and someone from India have any kind of shared experience) or whatever.

I really enjoy pasting articles into ChatGPT and having its voice model read them out to me. It sounds way better than other TTS systems I’ve tried, but it’s cumbersome.

Are there any interesting products in this space?
After spending some time on HN, I’d be terribly surprised if the reaction wasn’t exactly like it is in these threads. If there’s one thing I’d bet big money on in the world, it’s the gullibility of HN users. Or Reddit users, since this is just a Reddit clone with the same user base (despite the rules pointing out that saying this is totally lame and not even true, dawg).

I'm reasonably sure that last word is not what you intended to type, but I'm stumped as to what it should be.
Yeah, the embedded Linux context is messy. I don't know how the rules play out there (and I would be surprised if anyone truly knows). I thought we were talking about the general computing device use case.

Link-time optimization isn't really relevant from what I understand; it's about optimizing across different object files when linking them together, it shouldn't have any impact on dynamic linking.

Only at release time that I embed the server part in a container.

Frankly, none of this matters. Cloudflare decides what the adequate results would have been, not HN users.
