The important thing to mention: in many respects, you can pretend that in chess the objective is to capture the opposing king. But for historical reasons, the game actually tops one move before, and the king is never captured.

But they also have weird rules that both (A) forbid putting your king in check, and (B) hand you a draw when you are out of legal moves.

A simpler version of chess would actually play until the king is captured, and allow people to move into check.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.04374.pdf reports on some experiments with variants like this.

Another interesting thing to try out is to allow players to capture their own pieces. Or to abolish castling.

I see the same in the consulting space - people who've barely ever talked to a prospect let alone had an actual customer (I happen to know from talking to folks like that) have a shiny website with pricing packages talking about "their team" and what not. Feels like pure hustle culture.

I started my business a year ago, and there is no "we". There's me and (at this point) enough clients for comfortable living. I went completely scrappy on my website (https://dahlke.tech). Felt rebellious in this day and age, but it doesn't seem to hurt.

I don't think that stuff matters in the beginning, clients see right through it from what I've heard. Some people get off on trying to look and feel like "a real company". I find there's joy in accepting that my company is not that, not yet, and putting all of my energy into getting there.

We (my first language is Norwegian, German is my 3rd, so I'm speaking mostly from my experience with Norwegian) tend to see it as far less of an act of "creating a word" than English-speakers tend to when confronted with our languages, though.

English speakers are often amazed at how we "have words for everything", which makes it seem like it's been some conscious act of establishing a new world on purpose. Of course sometimes that is the case, but that process happens in English too.

But exactly because of what you say, directing that amazement at us just combining words is pretty much the same as if we expressed amazement at how English has sequences of words for everything.

It just looks different to English-speakers for whom the merging of multiple words into a combination they've not seen before is not a frequent occurrence.
A mix of own code and the Clang toolchain moved into an optional package. As far as I understand it, the ability to optimize via LLVM and compile C++ and ObjC code via Clang won't be lost, just moved out of the Zig compiler into a package, integrated via the build system. The ability to import C headers and compile C code will remain in the core
compiler though.

Ask HN: Should Startup CEOs excel at try and error or critical decision making?
I have seen folks that analyze everything before they take action and sometimes they spend more time than needed in the decision making process but usually they make more sounds decisions or at least know what is going on.

I have also seen folks who just try things and just try again and again till they have it working. If they are hard working they produce working things that they are not entirely sure why it works but it actually works.

I have seen the members from each camp working at FAANG (or whatever the new acronym is) like companies, but I was interested to see how is the distribution among founders and successful startups and why this characteristic could have impact on their success.

Why All of Our Games Look Like Crap (2019)
I was commenting on the situation I know based on context, as well as my background knowledge and opinions. If you interprets any criticism towards few Chinese companies as Sinophobia, then that's sounds like your problem.

Also, maybe it's true that the entire thing was caused by one (I quote it from your comment) "European ... dirtbag", but that assumption is as true as almost any assumption under this context.

When I (and most people, really) criticize an international company, I'll not single out one of their local branch. When you criticizing Apple, will you specifically direct your complain towards say Apple UK? Why don't direct your anger towards the very top, where the power of uniformed change is concentrated? That's the most effective way of bringing changes out for everybody.

What password?

I mentioned the NHS app I use in a different sub-thread, so let's try my (not very good, would not recommend but they offered decent credit balance interest) current account. I tap the app on my phone, I get a whirl of nonsense, and then:

"Verify that it's you" and I touch the fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6.

And that's it. No passwords, no PINs, no SMS messages, no separate authenticator device

This is much more secure than real human passwords (it'll be an elliptic curve signed message, so similar to HTTPS) and much more convenient, and short of convincing me to literally send you my phone and my finger you can't trick me into giving you access.

It is connection issues with the Cruise employee presenting the video to the regulatory agencies in a video meeting.

Actually even with the motors disabled and moving the gantry by hand you will find spots that stick, independent of gantry misalignment (which obviously creates extra friction). The issue is that the gap between the side rails is not perfectly consistent, and the super minimal rail riding system doesn’t like this. The side rails, basically, are a little wavy.
But absolutely 100% remember to block automatic updates because even minor-minor version updates change the protocol (and even different versions of the ocaml compiler with the same version of unison source can mismatch.)

This pain has always stopped me using Unison whenever I give it another go (and it's been like this since, what, 2005? with no sign of them stabilising the protocol over major versions.)
It’s an interesting narrative that has been crafted for Cruise, but it beggars belief that Cruise would have ever intended to send the video alone and let it “speak for itself”.

Forth is very free-form, it doesn't require that your words be 'ordinary' in that sense. The : word isn't the only one that can consume from the input stream, neither is it the only word that can define words (such words are called defining words). The CONSTANT word, for instance, is a convenient syntax for defining a word to push a constant value onto the stack. [0]

You can even define your own 'mirror' of the : word, which involves some fiddly management of Forth's state, but it's doable. [1]

See also [2] on Forth's execution model and [3] on defining your own defining words.

Disappointing there was no sonic boom:

The jet stream winds even enabled these planes to surpass the speed of sound (767 mph). China Airlines 5116, a Boeing 777, has a cruising speed of 564 mph, but the jet stream bumped it up over 800 mph — much like walking on a moving walkway adds to a pedestrian’s speed.

But the aircraft did not break the sound barrier. Even though its ground speed was greater than the speed of sound, it was still moving through the surrounding air at its ordinary cruise speed. It just so happened that the surrounding air was also moving.

but that's physics for you :/

>> Yes there is collateral damage because Hamas uses civilians as human shields, so we have no choice but to kill them too, but we do not specifically target them.

I struggle to believe this is really a comment by a "commander in the IDF". Such a person should know that the use of civilians as human shields by one side does not absolve the other side from taking every precaution to minimise harm coming to those civilians.

Risk to civilians does not bar military action, but the principle of proportionality requires that precautions be taken to minimize the harm to these protected persons. This analysis includes considerations like whether circumstances permit the attacker to time a military action to minimize the presence of civilians at the location.[16]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_shield_(law)#Legal_doctr...

Specifically, saying the IDF doesn't target them, they're just in the way, is a cynical denial of that responsibility.

Further, a commander of the IDF would remember the proverb about throwing stones when living in a glass house: there is extensive documentation of the use of Palestinian civilians as human shields by the IDF. See for example the Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead (2009):

10. The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields

55. The Mission investigated four incidents in which Israeli forces coerced Palestinian civilian
men at gun point to take part in house searches during the military operations (Chapter XIV).
The Palestinian men were blindfolded and handcuffed as they were forced to enter houses ahead
of the Israeli soldiers. In one of the incidents, Israeli forces repeatedly forced a man to enter a
house in which Palestinian combatants were hiding. Published testimonies of Israeli soldiers who
took part in the military operations confirm the continued use of this practice, in spite of clear
orders from Israel’s High Court to the armed forces to put an end to it and repeated public
assurances from the armed forces that the practice had been discontinued. The Mission
concludes that this practice amounts to the use of Palestinian civilians as human shields and is
therefore prohibited by international humanitarian law.

https://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-files/Guardian/documents/20... (page 19 of the pdf).

Despite Israel's claims Hamas does not use civilians in this way. Instead they fight from built-up areas and make it difficult to distinguish combatant from non-combatant. They "hide among civilians" but they don't "use them as shields".
There's nothing you've written that I don't disagree with but it doesn't invalidate my points either. Companies did not support Firefox until it became popular. It became popular by being better than IE despite ms efforts to keep users.

An alternative browser needs people like us to rally behind it and build the user base, be better than Chrome so sellable to enough people that supporting it as a platform is worthwhile. Sorry but it's not Firefox for me while it's backed by Mozilla as things stand. I'm totally dismayed by their direction and how they spend their money. As far as I'm concerned Mozilla has been compromised by the executives and board that controls it and Firefox can't do anything useful unless the board is replaced or it is spun out into an independent oss project - which wouldn't surprise me if it happened anyway, I think the only interest those execs have in Firefox is the money the search bar brings in.

The only privacy related feature that has broken sites for me is third party cookies and that used to be the standard, not some chrome only feature.
> then start a sort of deprogramming the society

It could be argued that Israelis need "deprogramming" - look at the scenes we've seen over the past few days, with hordes of Israeli civilians blocking aid from entering Gaza. Look at the torrent of vileness spewed forth online by many Israelis. Look at the Israeli Telegram groups where they share and laugh at images of dead Palestinian children (actually, don't look; it's just too much).

There's some irony and conflicts of interest.

People make slick landing pages and try to get interest to decide if enough people sign up for a thing that doesn't exist yet, then "it may be worth building it"

But also potential customers are fed up of such tactics and want to actually try a product before signing up to another thing which may or may not ever exist.

So what happens in the end sometimes is that the developers may think "nobody signed up for it so I will pivot".

Would love to hear opinions and experiences about it though for success and failure.

> It seems impossible to solve this by just everyone adopting a manifesto that one GitHub guy wrote many years ago

Well by "semver" I mostly mean "change the major number to indicate a change of ABI", I don't mind so much about the other numbers in this case. But that's a good question: I don't know when it started being a thing. I would guess much, much earlier than GitHub, though.

> human judgement about what is breaking and not

Hmmm... ABI compatibility for the public interface is not really subjective, or is it?

> weird implicit social taboos about doing major releases “too often”

Yes I don't get that one and I fight hard against it.

> But also doing static linking a bit more seems like it would help a lot with the same problem.

Well I am not fundamentally against static linking; to me it makes sense to do a mix, with the caveat that if you link something statically, then you are the maintainer of that code. Whereas if you link a system library dynamically, you merely depend on it.

My problem is about moving to "static linking only" (or "by default", but I don't even know if Rust allows dynamic linking at all?).
I fell in love with Fedora (Gnome) hard, it's really the most polished and stable Linux experience so far and I feel stupid for being reluctant about the Redhat association. However, because of the not very friendly process to get non-free codecs and software, I think it sadly can't be considered beginner friendly. Just because of that. Everything else is literally perfect. If you are fed up with another distro and know your Linux well, try Fedora! All glory, no pain.

The Mandelbrot set is quite well known.

Yet something I learned recently blew my mind. It's about the uncanny resemblance between the images generated by the Mandelbrot set, and among all things, the popular image of Buddha.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhabrot

Even when looking at the 2D Mandelbrot set renderings, I can't help but wonder whether the similarity of the "bulbs" to the rather unique Buddha "hairstyle" (of allegedly funny lumps of hair) was just a coincidence.

Also, the tower-like makuṭa headdress in some Buddhist traditions look exactly like the thin threads that connect the bulbs at around (-2, 0).

I'm not saying they mean anything, but just something uncanny, and once I learned about the resemblance, it's hard to unsee it...
