That's how it works de facto in the US as well. Agents don't show houses under contract, and a significant percentage of contracts fall through.
Didn't mean to be a copycat. Hadn't seen your response when I wrote mine.
Because the library can "advice" an existing function without decorating that function.

# Write a function
>>> def there():
... print "there",
...
>>> there()
there

# Write a peice of 'before advice' to run before the function
# New advice is activated by default
>>> @pydvice.before(there)
... def hello():
... print "Hello",
...

# Note that active advice runs automatically on any function call
>>> there()
Hello there

I don’t think this is about understanding computers vs not understanding them. We are seeing these particular ones because of a computing related misunderstanding but there are a lot of disturbed or confused people out there in general not getting help.

The Internet (and social media) has shined an uncomfortable light on how widespread our education and mental health crises are. I’m not going to hold myself up as an expert or doctor but jeez there seem to be a lot of people out there that have totally lost the plot yet they have Internet so we can all see them struggling with reality.

The whole COVID thing didn’t help either. It helped to normalize and mainstream: weird conspiracy theories, antivaxxers, unhinged behavior in public, and the Internet was right there with it, hand in hand, taking us further down the crazy train.

I used to think people going through mental health crises were few and far between but now whenever I’m in a crowd I start thinking to myself you know, 10% of these people probably have a tenuous grip on reality and 1% might just have an outburst right here.
They aren't going to have an easy time selling planes if they are known to be an order of magnitude less safe. Airline number crunchers would say "Oh wow, we're going to do millions of flights and that means they'll crash! That is really expensive!". Then they'd buy Airbus.

That is the effect that will cause Boeing management to do something about the safety problems. Or the airlines to do something about the plane safety. I dunno, someone would do something, these plane crashes are expensive and bad PR.

> Provided you are rich enough to walk away from a plane ticket...

If you have enough money to hurtle through the air at a million meters per hour in a tin can, you have enough money to walk away from a plane ticket. I don't think I've even seen homeless people in an airport, let alone on a plane. Flying is a luxury good.
Sometime I wonder if their main revenue source (Google) asked them to remove features like this one...

Thank you! I have been searching for a file manager to access e.g. application files. I can not believe this works!

Tested in Samsung Note 10 Lite, recently upgraded to Android 13.
The problem is that there are people who will classify any unsolicited mail from any business they've dealt with as spam. And by "classify" I mean hitting whatever button they have in their email client that says so - which for online email services is likely to affect future processing of mail from related sources for themselves and potentially for others as well.

It doesn't matter to those people whether there was a quick and easy way to unsubscribe or change preferences. It doesn't matter to those people that they actively requested that kind of mail a few months ago and have forgotten. It doesn't matter to those people that they might end up blocking important messages they do want later. It doesn't even matter to those people that they're flagging information that is required by law to be provided to them. There is no nuance here. Got mail. Hit "spam". Done.

Some of these people even think that marking the transactional "thanks for your payment" mail as spam will somehow end their subscription to your service or get them out of a long-term contract early! Then they'll issue a chargeback that is also totally inappropriate and in violation of contract and claim that they gave notice to cancel by "unsubscribing" from the emails by marking them as spam.

Dealing with customer support for those people is not fun. In a perfect world it would go both ways and we could have a system that notified us of such behaviour immediately so we could choose not to do business with those people in the future. It is as sure an indicator of a customer who is not worth the trouble as I have ever found after people attempting actually criminal behaviour.

Spam is a difficult problem. Obviously a lot of senders really are abusing the recipients in ways that are not welcome and should ideally be stopped. But there are plenty of recipients abusing the senders of legitimate messages too.
Very carefully delidded and then with a nice metallurgical microscope. And then usually with focus stacking.
They’re no less transactional than a used car dealership, they just hide it better
I think the fact that many people end up finding true, fulfilling purpose; and that miracles and seemingly unimaginable, orchestrated coincidences happen regularly, to our surprise, is well enough of an argument probably.
I first looked at nix-shell which you can use to create ephemeral environments just like Docker, with the difference that they are 100% reproducible and you don't need containerd or like. It is awesome to create scripts which run the same on EVERY system.

Then looked at NixOS. I geht the point of having a deklarative like OS which you can rebuild in a couple of minutes, BUT the nix language is kind of unituitive and all the tools like flake and nix packages do some magic it con't quiet understand. It does not help that the docs are kind of meh.
When my company supplies me with a car, they sign it into Teams.

Otherwise, no thanks.
we do have semi-autonomous trains, in the US at least. i'm not sure about elsewhere. PTC stops a large class of disastrous operator errors (overspeed, missed/ignored signal, etc.). it is almost entirely complete on all of the class 1 railroads in the US by now.

Please edit out swipes like "What are you talking about?" from your HN comments. They're never needed, and tend to degrade discussion.

Interesting, why would one part of a chip have significantly worse yield than another?
They aren't equivalent. Docker doesn't provide the same guarantees and is also more clunky to work with

Boeing delivered planes with loose bolts. If you bought a car with loose wheel bolts you would be upset. Cars are a much larger industry than aeroplanes and instead of “groundings” they have “recalls”, sometimes in the millions.
It wouldn't be the first time AMD has bundled some Cadence DSP cores into their designs, they used them for TrueAudio back in the day as well.
Right, but even if this was always the most consistent/accurate direction for D, so it isn't actually a change in direction technically speaking, that still leaves the main point of what I wrote unanswered — how can its new direction find it a niche when it has to compete in the "GC'd but very fast C++ successor language" space with C# and Java?

Also, this idea that fear of the GC is overblown — I buy that for servers and applications and the like for the most part (although I think our obsession with using heavier and heavier runtimes and frameworks to ease development at the cost of efficiency is unsustainable in the long term and has contributed significantly to the bloat of modern systems), but for real-time work, or embedded systems, or low level programming that needs to implement the sort of things a GC or runtime relies on, which are the only things I think most people claim GCs aren't good for, I really don't buy the argument that GCs don't matter. Yes you can do such things with languages that have them, especially if you have cutting edge GCs like Java's ZGC or turn your runtime into bare metal hardware drivers like Miranda did with OCaml, but oftentimes that's just harder to reason about and control, more work, and has costs (like ZGC needing 2x the memory and roping all pointer accesses into doing GC work to amortize processing costs), so it's like that article about using C# to do a <2KB game — why not just use things more well suited for that. This is a common sentiment I've seen in the D community though, so let me ask directly: is this argument a response to people who are claiming not to want a GC for low level / systems programming, in which case I don't think it's very reasonable, or is this a response to people who balk at GC for server and application stuff, in which case I'm not sure anyone disagrees? Or is there a third option I'm missing?
Whether the review was trolling or a genuine display of being a moron (and in a world where people whined to change "master"/"whitelist"/"blacklist"/etc. for invented bullshit racial reasons, I can easily believe it was actually the latter), whoever posted it should have their reviews banned for demonstrably being worse than useless.
The extremely-lucrative days in IT for large numbers of people, are drawing to a close. On the other hand, while you won't make more than someone who works at 7/11, there will be rudimentary IT jobs available, if you want them.
This is basically what high frequency trading is in real life.
Ask HN: Experienced devs, do you wish for work to find you?
I'm contemplating building a directory where *experienced* (this is key) devs and leads can list themselves so opportunities can find them.

What opportunities? Freelance/consulting work and full time roles of interest.

Why? Companies are always looking for devs and leads with strong experience. Now more than ever, they're also open to "interesting" arrangements (fractional, consulting, project specific etc).

But I wonder, is this something you even wish for? For opportunities to find you? Or are you pretty happy with the status quo?
I don't have an RSS reader these days. I found that I just wasn't keeping up with all the subscriptions and I wasn't getting that much out of reading them anyway. Something with a little bit of collaborative filtering like HN or social media works better for me.
Here's a frequency response test pitting a coathanger against premium audio cable:

Spoiler: the difference between the coathanger and the premium cable is probably inaudible, and the difference between anything better than a coathanger (ie, literally any sort of copper wire) and the premium cable is certainly inaudible.

Alternatively, I did keto for years and worked as a painter in the midwest US during the summers. No breakfast, no lunch, worked 8 hours in the peak summer heat no problem, setting up/tearing down scaffold, putting up siding, etc. Never felt exhausted. Lost weoght sucessfully and was in good shape.

So basically all im saying is you gotta listen to your body and adjust accordingly. Keto/low carb does not work for everyone but it definitely is very effective for some

Except you've reformulated LCS as a top-down function in order to be convenient for your argument. The implementation is bottom-up not top-down.
That's only if you're able to deploy it in a way that the human drivers you replace have the same risk distribution as the human driver population as a whole. If your deployment instead skews away from replacing the high-risk human drivers, the 90% AV could make the overall situation worse.
EV’s use next to nothing compared to heating

It averages to something like 500w vs 5kw of heating.
I agree nesting is easier with HTML. Most of the content I write is not really nested though, particularly when writing notes, to-do lists, etc. the low ceremony of markdown is a huge win over HTML for simple content.
you know how if you edit the first line of a 50 line docker file you gotta sit there forever to rerun the entire build? You don't have that issue with Nix.

You know how a Docker file barely has any structure, leading to a lot of bashisms to try and script certain behaviors? Nix doesn't have that issue.

NixOS is an OS you can configure with Nix. A lot less "OK so edit these files to try and configure something, then reboot", a lot more "configure this data structure, then reboot". Makes your system configuration mostly be in the same place, as NixOS will distribute these changes across the file system as needed to get things working. It's pretty nice!

Overall... it ends up being a bit easier to document why you're doing something in a Nix file relative to a Dockerfile, and caching and the like works much more smartly (lots less "move all this stuff to the top/bottom for caching reasons" you might do in a Dockerfile)

("Nix" here means "nix + nixpkgs", which is important since lots of nix-ism are basically downstream of how nixpkgs is written and the patterns used there)

I seem to remember other threads about this—can anyone find them?
AFAIK it's the other side of the die from a "delidded" view.
So, they desoldered the die, then etched/ground at it until the surface coating was gone, and just the semiconductor structure remains. Due to the sub-micrometer regular structures, you get interference patterns like these. I.e., the color is "structural".
Really impressive work! Ruffle was already fully featured and usable for my limited purposes. I spent a couple days thinking about and finding old flash games I played in school and managed to acquire most of them. Now they live in a folder alongside Ruffle which makes them easy to play and demo offline anytime. Thanks, Ruffle team.
I'm a diesel engine mechanic by trade, and having been to a few mid america trucking shows I can definitively say the autonomous trucking scenes pretty dead in the water. Too many "ideal condition" technologies, not enough edge condition focus (lots with no turnaround, lots with poor traction or mud,etc...) And too many companies demanding infrastructure investment that won't come.

The in cab electronic log system is still largely ignored because states want money from inspections, no autonomous system can handle a tandem adjustment, and everyone wants to put sensors all over roads that barely see replacement let alone investment and dont have maintenance factored in.

Edit: ultimately these companies miss the mark. Autonomous cannot cost more to maintain and operate than traditional fleets and owner operator/independents. It can't force shipping lots to rearchitect the entire parking lot, it can't demand world class networking and sensor systems in jeffrey Wyoming, and it can't wave away traditional safe operation practices with "autonomous"
I’m the same way. I find the abstractions rarely add much for me. They just add needless complexity and future maintenance I won’t want to do. HTML is easy, it works, and doesn’t need as much care and feeding. If I need to update a long neglected site, I can just do it, and don’t need to spend time re-learning whatever abstraction happened to be in vogue when the site was first written.

If I’m feeling really fancy, and the need is really there, I might add some PHP for something that needs to be done server side. It’s simple and it works.
interesting from regulatory perspective as well

if gov owns the sensors, they no longer have to beg AV operators for crash data

And lying to FAA about your aircraft would be criminal fraud, yet no one responsible for Boeing MAX is in jail.
Ken Thompson in the most recent Sharp Tech podcast also talked about the management style of Boeing after their merger with McDonnell Douglas. They mentioned that when Boeing's HQ was still in Chicago, their CEO boasted that the HQ was thousands miles away from Seattle so that the management didn't have to get involved in day-to-day operations. This is just staggering how arrogant Boeing's the executives could be. Contrasting this with how old Boeing worked, how old Lockheed worked, how Elon Musk worked. No wonder Boeing has been in decline. It's just sad that so many talented engineers are stuck in this monopoly, when they could've leave the company and build something groundbreaking. For that matter, I feel extremely lucky that the IT industry have had a bustling culture of startups, so corrupted companies can die and new companies can innovate. I also feel extremely sad that how aviation industry has become complacent and ossified. I also worry that the US's industries are going the British way, as how British government forced their auto industry to consolidate many years ago, ending up destroying their the entire auto industry.
Millions of people doing low level things learn higher level things from their experience.

If you can’t completely automate something, there are by definition, still useful things to learn.

Outsourcing the advancement of low level work to automated work puts a business’s competitive edge in jeopardy.
A robot truck could just follow a smaller autonomous vehicle.

Alternatively a drone flying ahead of a truck with cameras could augment the sensing on the truck and extend the sensor range. Deploy the drone(s) from a station on the truck. 2-3 drones per truck for redundancy and charging. Tho maybe drones can not fly at 65mph for long in bad weather.

It's a dumb idea, we already have standardized cargo containers and the technology to load/unload them efficiently. Putting a ship on 10 Train Tracks will require the development of new technology and will make every bridge (weight allowance) and tunnel (the profile would need to be big enough for the whole ship) prohibitively expensive. With normal cargo trains, which are a very efficient and cheap way to transport a lot of goods, you can just use cheap off the shelf stuff.

Also transporting ships with their huge tanks of heavy oil is a huge health and safety hazard.
I use notes because my memory is only so good, and they can be useful to me to refer back to. I just use Apple Notes. Good enough for me. That said, I don't think any of my ideas are somehow worthy of being "archived" or the like for others. They are simply helpful to me.

I don't know when ideas without execution become thought of as so valuable. Ideas are a dime a dozen, the hard part is testing those ideas to see if they actually work.

I wonder if there’s any chance that they were using the same RNG on the server. Seems like you could theoretically exploit it if so, given a very low usage server, low ping, ability to get a decently precise window into the current state of the rng, and ability to quickly generate another event with a high economic variance tied to rng.

Any alternative tools in this space worth considering? I normally use `python -m http.server` for a quick file share, but willing to lean on something more real which is equally easy to invoke.

httpd2 looks like it might be a bit too opinionated to be a default replacement (no Windows support is not ideal).
It's just where the tightest structures (physically, electrically, or timing-wise) are found. The AMD cores and uncore are, I'm guessing, fairly well tuned to the process by skilled people. The bolt-on stuff often isn't so well done, particularly if an end-client project manager or beancounter is driving the schedule. So it's almost certain to happen if the added stuff has very complex paths, and you wouldn't be going to the effort of adding silicon if you didn't need it to do something interesting....

So, no proof, but it wouldn't be any kind of surprise if this were part of the problem.
