I've always wondered how beholden the world is to Microsoft. I was once surprised to learn the US military (and probably virtually all others) don't have their own OS to avoid being tied to a particular company.
How would this be worse? You can press a single pedal instead of switching between 2 pedals. Cruise control is still available in one pedal mode if you want to give your "gas foot" a... break.
This has been my experience firsthand in the system too.

Childhood cancer (mostly Leukemia) treatment in the USA is a well-organized country-wide clinical study aimed, at this point, at carefully reducing the amount of high-intensity chemo via replacing it with drugs like the one in the article, Blina.

They have gotten so good at treating Leukemia that they are now optimizing for reducing the long-term negative health impacts that come as a result of the treatment.

There are still tragic cases where the patients systems don't respond well, or there are complications as a result of compromised immune systems, but everything I have experienced points to major advancements and continued progress towards improving outcomes.
In most EVs you can control the intensity of one-pedal breaking. I have it set to adaptive, which uses speed as one of its factors.

Well, it's behaving as documented and following the semantics of your unit file.

Though I agree the default is poor, if it bites you more than once, write a standard template to reuse for your unit files and/or write a wrapper that calls reset-failed for you. Systemd is far from perfect, but this is a minor nuisance.
Of course I'm not wrong. People getting upset at the truth because they aren't strong enough to try it themselves are wrong.

No one cares if you comment about yourself. People support those that talk about themselves but apparently they support people harming themselves like you continue to do.

It makes me ashamed to think that you're being guided by these absolutely abhorrent people in this thread. You can help yourself. Don't let them stop you.
>> If your network is composed of people with stable jobs and guest rooms, it's practically guaranteed that someone will accommodate you for as long as you need

I had a stable job, had plenty of room for someone to stay over, had people in my network that were junkies, and no way would I ever let them in my house. That would be insane. Best case, they steal my shit to buy drugs, that is the most favorable possible outcome, worst case they OD in my bathroom.

There's nothing you can do. But no, you can't "accommodate" them.

Maybe it depends on how you quantify greatness. I think that if you're really good at writing a fast matrix kernel, that's lovely, but if you're really good at making a matrix kernel which is very useful to lots of people, or even just to your team or company, _that's_ great.
I dislike the "it can happen on any street corner" comparison. It's apples and oranges.

The cost of harassing someone online, especially anonymously (even on HN) is virtually zero.

In real life, in person, the cost of harassing someone is many times higher. It's way harder to do so anonymously in person, it's way harder to do it without other people noticing in person, and it has to happen synchronously in person compared to asynchronously online. I could go on... it's just not the same thing.

> Ultimately parents and perhaps schools have to educate children on realistic dangers they can face both online and on street corners and supervise them until they are ready to responsibly use these spaces alone.

For the reasons I mentioned above, neither parents nor schools (on average) are equipped to mitigate online harassment because it's a relatively new attack vector on children. The average parent of a teenager (or the average school administrator, age 40-60) didn't grow up experiencing online harassment in their teenage years.

The danger I see in your comment is assuming that online and offline harassment share the same dynamic. The simple fact is online vs. offline harassment is wildly different in nearly every way. If you were harassed in real life, that doesn't automatically mean you understand the dynamics of online harassment.

Edit: Also feel compelled to say I'm not biased in any way. i didn't suffer from much harassment online or offline. I also don't have kids. It's like saying a Zoom date and a coffee date are basically the same. Or saying "dinner with grandma" is the same in person or via facetime. It's apples and oranges, let's not pretend they're comparable.

> revolveth in heaven inside a flame produced by his own mouth, whilst his own form is invisible

Such a beautiful hermetic formula. It could totally describe a god in Lovecraftian universe. That, and also the fact that a minor deity was so easily transplanted from an Egyptian myth into a Japanese video game to me illustrates the amazing unity of human culture.

I mean, I get that a lot of biblical material was lifted from e.g. the myth of Osiris, but this is on another level.
Agreed, I have some friends that don't like systemd, and I respect their opinions greatly, but my experience with systemd has been quite good over the last decade. I really like it much more than the old init.d scripts.

With one exception... I tried to set up a inetd-like service where a script was run on TCP connection with the output going out to the socket. It was tricky to get set up, but eventually I got it working... or so I thought. A few days later the system was super sluggish and I found that every connection that had been made to this service was left open and consuming resources. Switched that to an socat running under systemd and it's been fine since. Never could figure out what exactly the deal was.

> This is a pretty surprising behavior.

This optimisation crosses the line into "too clever by half". Once a Rust programmers groks how Vec's work their mental model of how capacity is allocated simple, so simple they hardly need thing about it's implications as they write code. This optimisation breaks that simple model badly, and you would have to be really focused to realise it's about to bite you as the code streams off your finger tips. Consequently this "optimisation" is almost certainly going to cause a lot of code to using far more memory than expected.

You get the same results with filter():

let mut v = vec![1,2,3];
v.push(4);
println!("len {} cap {}", v.len(), v.capacity());
let v = v.into_iter().map(|x| x+1).filter(|_x| false).collect::<Vec<_>>();
println!("len {} cap {}", v.len(), v.capacity());

len 4 cap 6
len 0 cap 6

Despite being in some sense "correct", I'd consider that result a bug. One fix would be to examine the result, and if it breaks the programmers expectations badly (by say using more than twice the memory needed) it does a shink_to_fit() for you. Since the programmer is probably expecting a new vector to be generated it isn't a surprising outcome.
It's all about headcount, actually. Society should maximize the number of people necessary for authorities to do anything at all. If they want to investigate someone, they should have to send men out there to physically compromise the computers instead of having a button they can push to reveal that person's entire life history on a monitor. That puts hard limits on the scale of their operations, ensures their powers are checked and limits the damage done by any eventual abuse.

Society is going in the opposite direction instead: it's minimizing the number of people required and maximizing the scale of operations. Naturally, societies all over the globe are trending towards totalitarian surveillance police states where power and authority are concentrated in the hands of few. The panopticon was envisioned as a way to allow a single guard to keep watch over limitless prisoners. People are always ready to accept that because they think they would never be imprisoned themselves.
I’m actually building one right now so I can give code reviews for my mentees more easily!

Conformance is an advantage, a way to progress and get what you need or want. I feel weird reading people saying that it would be wrong to try to help people with trouble conforming, conform: what would be the alternative ? Realistically, tolerating differences can only go so far as the other tolerates it: autists and transgenders have similar issues in accepting that the wider society is different from them and the compromise has to start at both ends. And I think nobody's really asking anyone to actually change behavior, but simply to hide it better in temporary/crisis/exceptional situations.

For instance, I think homosexuality's long combat to marry, a very VERY conforming demand, is helping it move away from the view others had of it being a non-conforming sexual behavior. Nobody's talking anymore of the physical act, the actual difference, but instead we talk about their attempt to conform, and it's very hard to find arguments against it.
I didn't mean to ask about how the same character is read in different varieties of Chinese. I meant to ask about how different people pronounce Mandarin.

For example, here's a video of a popular karaoke streamer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTJIthWk_KA . She is singing in Mandarin.

But she seems to have some trouble distinguishing r- from y-. To my nonnative ear, when she sings renbuzhu the r- is fairly clear, but her rang uses more of an intermediate sound, and in one case the palatalization is so heavy that I just hear yang.

On the other hand, where the Mandarin calls for y-, I don't notice that she inserts an r- quality.

This is the phenomenon that I'd like to know more about.

More generally, I'm interested in how some pinyin spelling choices that do not seem intuitive from the outside were made. Consider yi / sun / diu / yan. Anyone who approaches these syllables assuming that the letters in their spelling should have the same values that they do in other pinyin syllables is going to get a shock. ("Shouldn't yan rhyme with tan?") But the spellings must have made sense to the committee that fixed them... right?
I have a feeling this might be the cause of the Ballmer peak. I'm ASD, used to be way worse, grew partially out of it, but when it's bad, the Ballmer peak makes me function like a normal human with the focus of an autist. The rest of the time, it's a normal buzz.

Homepage: "Zero data collection. Quetta does not collect, store or share any data. Your data always belongs to you."

Google Play: "No data shared with third parties", "No data collected", "Zero data collection & sharing"

Privacy Policy: "we do process app launch information, which is used to determine if the software can run properly. This service is provided by the third-party service provider Google Analytics for Firebase."

I wish you all the best, the more competition the better, but you really shouldn't advertise zero data collection & sharing when it simply isn't true.
I had one interview one time in around 1999 with Merrill Lynch in Princeton NJ that I got flown out to and then I show up and get signed in, then I am meeting with some guy who tells me that I was never scheduled to be interviewed.... I told the guy I literally flew out here from 2000 miles away to do this interview and had emails and plane tickets to prove it, and they just told me like that and I left without the interview.... I didn't have to pay for the plane tickets, but that was probably the most ridiculous one I ever went to.
Fair point--maybe the throughput is higher for self checkout. I still like not having to do the work myself tho.

> Do you want every application to have root access?

No application should have root access. If Apple is giving their competitive apps root-equivalent permissions then I would say that's an even larger scandal.

> How has Apple having “private entitlements” hurt their competitors [...]

By creating yet another gate where they are exempt from the rules.

> The two exceptions I can think of

With all due respect, if there are exceptions you can think of then I think the situation is flawed. There's also the browser engine dispute, iMessage's neverending hermitage, and Apple's gradual depreciation of cross-platform libraries. We can argue that there's some merit to all of those behaviors, but together they represent a coordinated anticompetitive strategy.

If Apple can't isolate their hardware ambitions from their software ones, I feel like this will end with a judge threatening to break Apple into two companies a-la United States v. Microsoft Corp.

>Consider porcelain, lasts forever,

This isn't true. Porcelain is brittle and delicate, and usually shatters when dropped. It's easily broken through normal handling. Just guessing, I imagine most new inexpensive porcelain dishware is purchased to replace broken stuff.

Sure, if you put it in a cabinet and never use it except for once-a-year special occasions, it might last a lifetime, but the stuff you use every day won't.
I guess it isn't -- if you're knowledgeable in this I suppose -- I just didn't understand it, sorry. Haha! :)

Chemo has tons of well-known long term negative effects. The idea with replacing Chemo with Blina is that it has a measurable similar short term effect (get rid of the bad cells) with less (so far) long term effects.
Definitely a little treatment, since it contains mercury and is highly corrosive. I assume there are also issues with certain filtration processes not performing as well in low gravity environments.

This contest is a nice way to get the public involved and maybe come up with some novel ways of purifying water.
I live in the UK, a "free society", we have CCTV everywhere. It didn't stop me being sexually abused as a child, it's not there to catch pedophiles because pedophiles generally aren't like muggers. Encountered pedophiles at all three schools I went to—you put far too much trust in authority figures like teachers. We got educated by the same people who sexually abused us.

Where there's people, there's problems. From fraud to racism to pedophilia, and everything in-between.

Instead of worrying about children lying to access services for adults, worry about the problem in a non-technological way. Maybe we need greater deterrents in terms of legal repercussions? Maybe we can even help these people figure out what makes them this way?

> Do you see deliberately kicking themselves off of Apple platforms as "clamoring so hard"?

It was a miscalculation. They didn't realize that so many of their users play only on iOS and are not about to invest in new hardware.

Well, turns out their game wasn't that addictive by itself! what made it a killer is a combo of 1) a decent game I guess 2) being available on the most popular gaming platform in developed world. Simply look at HN headline, since 2020 the game made almost no news except for being kicked off marketplaces. Even during Covid lockdowns! It just speaks volumes.

> the numbers are all there in the lawsuit already. Almost no one played Fortnite on IOS

Exactly, they are in the lawsuit. Some 100+ millions of nobodies eh?;)

> Epic's monetization model is wildly less predatory than the vast majority of mobile games.

Oh yeah, I totally agree that scammy behavior is a continuum.

> Apple sells hardware to consumers (above cost)

You are expecting them to sell below cost? And then what, be a charity? Or sell your data to profit, like the alternatives?

> then blocks consumers from actually using the hardware they own

It's clear that you have a preexisting bone to pick with Apple. No one blocks me from using iPhone...

> All Apple provides to developers is access to consumers

The consumer base they created by daring to develop a completely new product with entire ecosystem of hardware and software that those consumers somehow keep and keep finding appealing.

The engine as a whole is unfinished, I'm extracting the parts that are working, because I've procrastinated too much the past few months.

Everything presented in the README is working. There is even a small test suite to prove it.
Heh, okay, there's a lot to unpack there. It's a lot of facts but lacking in wisdom.

The fact that you equate a person warning you about the dangers of toxic people with barely being better than one themselves means you personally need this knowledge more than anyone. You are very much at risk and certainly not from me, I can assure you. Calling out your naivete on the matter is not aggression. Far, far from. I suppose I'm guilty as charged in not having much empathy left for the Cluster B individuals of the world. Virtually everyone who has had their lives ruined, their (often overflowing) empathy weaponized against them, and their belief that people are fundamentally good destroyed, tend to end up that way. And that's one of the hardest things in recovery: most people simply can't understand it until they've had it happen to themselves personally. After all, perhaps the psychopath is the real victim here. They certainly play the part very well. Believe whatever you want about me, an internet stranger, but this is coming from a genuine place of empathy and (hard) love. So, lets try something a little different.

There's a certain catharsis in some Cluster B abuse recovery circles in passing around stories of the well-meaning idiots that go to dog rescues centers to adopt trained fighting pitbulls. They believe all the dogs need is a good, loving home and all will be well. Often, this is actually the case... right up until the moment that it isn't. Suddenly, somehow, the owner's face is inside of the pitbull's stomach, their tracea is in the neighbor's yard, or their child is lifeless on the floor in a pool of blood with the dog "smiling" at them. Everyone is shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you. How could this have happened?

Your empathy is not going to fix psychopaths. Not at a personal level or a societal level. No amount of love is going to give them a functioning conscience. Whatever happened to create them (no matter how awful) never justifies what they do to others. Personally, I don't give a damn about Reiser and wouldn't trust a single word that comes out of his mouth about anything. I used his filesystem once back in ~2004 and that's the most positive thing I have to say about him.
It's trivial to make systemd do that if that is what you want, but there are also plenty of cases when that is not what you want and you then end up trying to write crash-proof startup scripts to provide backoff instead of just changing a flag in a unit file.

(And if you want a dumb unit system, there are plenty of options which will run just fine under systemd as a single unit so you never have to actually use systemd for your own services even if you're forced to use systemd for the overall system for whatever reason)

I've been hoping that this would change because the type of mid/low-rise multifamily housing we have in the United States is horrible. What I really hope happens is that ownership of multifamily real estate becomes much more fragmented.

Imagine multifamily housing where each lot is the same as a single family lot. You can have varied types right next to each other (one building could house several seniors in small apartments, another could house several young people in smaller apartments, another could be the owner in a two floor "house" on the top to floors with rentals below, another could be a building comprised of entire floor flats that are each owner-occupied).

They can be redeveloped so much more easily or repurposed. When an entire block is a huge multifamily building, it's pretty much impossible to change anything about it.

But, we really need to also change how we finance these buildings. A big reason everything is the same these days is because the finance system underwrites them. The system is there for these other types of smaller buildings.
