How is it behind? I've not been at a store in a while that I couldn't use apple pay or a card? I know it's popular to bag on America, but I figure most of HN is better than that.
That sounds like an argument in favour of[0] centralised planned manufacturing — we can't get good stuff, because short-lived shiny products outcompete boring high quality products.

[0] this doesn't mean it's a sufficient, let alone universally applicable, argument in favour; I'm well aware of many examples of central planning failures.

Apparently EWS which makes sense. ActiveSync is for mobile and EWS is newer compared to MAPI (which is an API technically), although there is a protocol that maps this to RPC for the Exchange case.
Yes: quoted identifiers are represented using backticks (which do not then form part of the name), so:

local `My Variable` = 42

Do you happen to have a link to the missing/blank reference page on this?

EDIT: perhaps I misunderstood the question - if it's about whether you can use non-ASCII characters in identifiers without quoting, the answer is "sometimes":

```
local `abde` = 42 // Only works when quoted

local `teʝ` = 42 // Works fine (as expected)

local teʝ2 = 42. // Also works fine
```

It might be interesting to expand the docs to cover the precise rules here without having to resort to ANTLR grammar, as you say.
> Nothing in it makes sense to me

Understandable, because it was based on how it sounded, not based on the meaning of the compound characters. So it only makes sense for Vietnamese people.

For example, from this wikipedia image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_vocabulary#/me...

The first word "núi" (mountain) is made up of 山 and 內, 山 is the meaning of the word, and 內 is how it (mostly) sounds. Without knowing Vietnamese it is impossible to guess the meaning.
You could move to my small village in New Mexico and join the water board. There's about 70 of us on the water system, and we could use more people to help provide oversight. The well itself is about 500 yards from my front door, and the water tank and pump house are right up the hill, I go by them on most morning walks.
I remember liking it a lot, I didn't see the twist coming even though the guy was known at the time for having a twist in his films. I liked how it wasn't just about a "gotcha" but revealed character motivations and how people try to retreat from the world due to trauma, and the lengths parents go to protect their children. I bet it would hit harder if I watched it now that I have children.

They do here in the US as well. It's not high-tech. Unless you get a sole proprietorship handyman or something, they'll likely take a card. Most will charge you the 3.5% or so extra for card payment though because that's what they have to pay.
Thanks, I like the approach! However, the light theme is not fully accessible. I've created an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/radix-ui/colors/issues/41
There is no service that does this to my knowledge.
What’s needed is a site where you can register your personal info, and then when a new arbitration event is “seen”, the site adds it to its database, notifies everyone in their database of the potential action required, and then gives you the ability to complete a template (with perhaps an account number or such) with your personal information prefilled. This would then be sent to the counterparty with a record kept in the event they dispute the opt out request.

I suppose you could notify users based on inbox activity if your could coorelate arbitration notices to inbound emails through domains and their integrity into (DMARC, etc). Check out the newsletter app Meco for what the UX around their Gmail integration looks like.

Also, consider contacting the FTC and filing comments that instituting arbitration requirements should require reporting to the FTC or other agency; you’d then have a central source of truth to crib off of.
Actually tried paying for the service, not very impressed. Suggestions are most mly lacking the necessary context to be applicable. Doesn't seem like it is considering anything other than the exact highlighted code
The current trend is to move from cash to electronic money controlled by the banks. Previously the money deposited to a bank account was the clients money that the bank just kept. Now it's the banks money that can be frozen by any reason and it's the client's responsibility to prove his innocence.

Next step is a blockchain-based crypto, controlled only by a single structure, such as Fed. Total control directly by the government, no banks involved. Full access to the history of all purchases and means to immediately lock out anyone who does anything "wrong".

Personally I'm going to move out of the country as soon as it forbids the cash transactions, as I don't want my kids to be slaves to the government.

I know how it works. Like I said, I don't know the motivation for why that is the best way to connect LZ and Huffman coding together.
Can't necessarily speak for the author, but here's one thing that can happen:

If the underlying system has a newer version of git than the one freeze-dried into your container, repositories managed there by native-git might be in a new format which container-git can't handle. (There might be some new, spiffier way of handling packs, for instance, or they might have finally managed to upgrade the hash function.) And similar issues potentially arise for everything else you're packaging.
Your reply doesn't answer my question. Your statement about the cost of driving has no facts to support it. I would like to see those facts - or really a complete breakdown of why one is more costly than the other. The article and your explaination do allot address many factors.
An amusing but generally harmless boomerism. Obviously, an apples to apples comparison would be a cell phone that is plugged in, since a land line has to be plugged to a power source (the phone line).

(To me, it doesn’t matter if the phone line is more reliable than mains power, because it’s probably not more reliable than a charged phone with a “backup battery.” Then you’ve got Apple shipping satellite SOS-equipped phones which must count for something.)
To me this kind of assessment can read like a C dev saying something like “snprintf solves 98% of buffer overflows” or something. Yes, every React application can be performant if coded carefully by a small team of experts, and every C program can be secure if coded by a small team of experts, but often applications are built by a large team of median engineers, so tooling to make median code automatically 90th percentile could be well worth it.

I’m not saying Million is that tool, just that such dismissal of the problem addressed rings a little hollow.
Over the past 10-12 years, Perl has been getting some significant speed boosts, on the order of 30% overall. It is of course still a very slow language when compared to compiled languages, but I'll take it.

https://blogs.perl.org/users/dimitrios_kechagias/2022/11/per...

I still code in Perl a fair bit for work. One great improvement I have taken advantage of is subroutine arguments, rather than unpacking @_ at the head of each subroutine. It is much easier to tell what the sub expects, and if the caller passes the wrong number of args it is a compile time error.

The main draw for me is that regex is built into the syntax of the language, and not a library. If the task requires a lot of pattern matching and string manipulation and speed isn't that critical, I reach for Perl.
After using JB tools for years, I switched to VSCodium last year. My advice to anyone considering switching, stick with it for a few weeks. There is a lot of muscle memory to rebuild and it won't be a smooth experience at first. Stick it out, and you will be rewarded with a libre IDE that you control.

I see where you're coming from regarding "[settling] into that job & [accepting] that life path" as a government employee. I thought about that after I wrote it myself. The alternative, however, strikes me as taking imprudent risks, if one is supporting a family, and having a work-life balance that one's family wouldn't appreciate (mine already thinks that I work too much). You're right on the mark: my savings rate, and government pension, should result in early retirement. I think I'm interested in having more time, not more money. I'm really content with consuming relatively little.

Maybe it's the "scarcity" and "growth" parts of the terminology that I take issue with, but I'm not sure what better descriptive terms would be. Edited to add: The more verbose descriptions that you wrote in your other comment make sense... "I'm going to make as much money as possible" vs "I'm going to spend as little money as possible"
most here won't take it. My maid won't. They will take venmo, check, or cash though.
Besides all the people who are telling you that you can call 911 on a locked phone, I will also point out that voice assistants are a good way to go as well.

Can't speak to Pkl, but for Jsonnet I made it possible to fully define then load neural network model architectures directly from Jsonnet config files [1], rather than relying on Python's unsafe pickle module.

Since neural networks often have many repeating features, using a traditional configuration language requires repeating the same structures a lot, whereas using Jsonnet you can use `std.repeat` instead. You can see some examples of this in the readme of my package.

You need to do your research. Because a manufacturer/brand can make one product (sometimes just one item in a lineup) very well, but the rest of the products not so much. So a well designed kitchen with "prosumer" appliances will be a mix/match from a bunch of different brands.

I've stated earlier here that I've had Sub Zero refrigerators last 10-15+ years with mostly no maintenance, however you will spend around $7k at the low end. For kitchen appliances talk to chefs who work with these brands daily or read around their forums.

Most people don't want to do this or will vote with their wallet by buying something cheap that needs replacing in ~5 years.
Funny how you missed the irrational Tesla haters in comments, who said the Model 3 would never ship, and then that it would never be manufactured at scale, then that a Tesla bond payment due would render the company bankrupt. More lately that the Cybertruck would never ship. Or that SpaceX did no innovation. I don't know if they are just haters or short sellers but it's weird.

Not to mention the upvoters that bring almost every negative Tesla story and hit piece(many of them submarine anti-EV pieces from the right wing media) on to the front page.

One of my favorites is the below comment that was the most upvoted on a story about Tesla stock moving to the downside.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34150106

Someone quoting Brianna Wu who is neither an auto or stock analyst predicting that the stock would go below $100 in the next few days. Spoiler, the stock never did that and went on to triple in the next few months.

And anyone speaking out about that or arguing against it with facts or sources is labeled a fan or shill by people like you and downvoted. For example this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34150931

That's the level of discourse on HN about Tesla. Hope no one shorted the stock based on the opinion of a Musk hater that translates it to Tesla. It's just a constant stream of FUD stories at this point.
Coupon clipping is not wasting time. Understanding how much you pay finding coupons to reduce that is will save a lot of money. Just the awareness itself will help.

Write on here that it's a waste of time is probably the biggest waste of time. At least it's low effort.

Not an expert, but my read of the article was that he had code execution already, but needed to dump the bootloader so he could gain access to peripherals. You could no doubt pull the chip and read it out with a programmer: this has been done for many other devices, i have no trouble believing you could do the same with an iPod. The method he developed is noninvasive, though, simply requiring a soundproof box and some analysis software. Thats what makes it cool, to me.
This is a really good point. And one of the reasons I hardly ever use cash is having to deal with so much annoying change. If you eliminate most change… cash becomes not a big deal

Such a long-winded way of saying, "Get off my lawn! …kids these days."

Having been in the industry for 30 years and alive long enough to run programs for 45, I can point to innumerable examples of badly written shareware games. Hell, I can give examples of then-AAA games where you learned to avoid certain patterns because they would either crash or grind to a crawl for extended periods of time.

Then there are the business apps that used janky proprietary storage formats and silently lost data, sometimes piecemeal and sometimes in whole. Crashes for a time in many apps was normal. Advice was just to remember to save often so you didn't lose as much when it did happen.

How long did we use RCS and CVS and Subversion before modern alternatives like Bitkeeper, Mercurial, Git, et al. entered the scene? You're telling me Visual SourceSafe was deeper knowledge than Fossil?

We have some of the best programmers alive today. And the worst. That's what happens when the talent pool keeps getting larger. It's not a trend of quality; it's just a furthering of the mainstream.

Most consumers don’t need commercial-level quality for appliances.

Those appliances are built to handle much more usage, and for a much longer time. E.g. a washer in a laundromat will be used probably 10x compared to a consumer washer over the same amount of time.

Also, a laundromat wants the washer to last as long as possible, probably 20-30 years, but at least 10-15.

There’s no reason for consumers to spend 10x on commercial appliances, when they’re not used as often, and won’t need to endure the misuse/abuse that commercial appliances take.

Also, few residents stay in one place long enough to need an appliance to last more than 15 or so years, and most consumer appliances last that long.
piling up 20 checks for the week and going to the bank for 10 minutes isn't a big deal to most people.
Indeed, constant execution time, block padding, resource use

If I have it in one hand and some time on the other, eventually I'll

Witty, but echoing the asker - with a somewhat shaky understanding of Aaron - what does it mean? Do journals relate to corporate twitter accounts? Or does it mean you're going to jail for not following t&c?
"I’d be back to Virtualbox in a heartbeat."

Trouble is that VirtualBox could easily go the same way. As VMware has shifted model it's now easy for VirtualBox to follow suit as there's no competing alternative or equivalent.

And Oracle has form in this regard, look at the way it dumped OpenOffice after it decided it couldn't monetarize it.
'That means in the Post Office example, people were convicted because they couldn't prove the software had bugs, they were just saying "you have to prove I'm guilty, because I'm not", and the court said "no, we don't, computers are reliable and that proves you are lying and therefore guilty".'

Not sure this is true, people were mainly convicted because they pleaded guilty to avoid going to jail.

There may be instances where you are correct but I'm not aware of any? The general rule of being innocent unless proven guilty does, generally, hold. The issue with these cases is that many people convicted early on had no proper legal representation.

Alan Bates, for instance, refused to accept the charges and was never convicted because no evidence of his guilt was ever presented. He stood his ground and was an outlier case.
> C# doesn't have ownership/lifetimes and the kind of safety that comes with them.

No, they're looking at migrating some core Office 365 services to Rust. This is the job posting: https://jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/1633482/Pri...

At the scale of O365 it totally makes sense to look at a high performance non-GC language for your core systems that see the most traffic (I say this as a .Net dev).

Yeah I actually haven't found a great answer yet. Here's everything I've tried and why it sucks:

* JSON. No comments. Deal-breaker

* JSONC. No unique file extension so its difficult to distinguish from JSON. Poor library support due to library authors drinking the "comments are bad" koolaid.

* JSON5. This would be an excellent option IMO except that library and IDE support is not great.

* JSON6. This just complicates JSON5 for minimal benefits. Pointless.

* Cue. As described.

* Jsonnet. Pretty good option tbh! However I couldn't get the Rust library to work. It's a low level parser, seems like you can't just plug it into Serde, which is what 99% of people really want. Also I ran into the "uncanny valley" effect where you can do some things but not all. So it tricks you into writing some programmatic config (e.g. with string manipulation) but then you find you can't do that string manipulation.

* Dhall. Weird syntax (backslash to declare functions. I've also heard it is slow. Didn't try this too much.

* YAML. Obviously YAML is the worst option. However I did realise you can use it as basically JSON5 except with a different comment character, which is not too bad.

* Starlark. Actually I haven't tried this yet but it looks promising.

So yeah I have no idea at the moment.

I wonder if it would be worth defining a "YAML JSON5" format, that's basically YAML-compatible JSON5.
In something like this, Edge is definitely not scraping the rendered content from the front end interface, it’s accessing the underlying Chrome files that store session history, tabs, urls, etc. and then opening the same sites in its own tabs.

I will admit that I’m not an expert on how accessibility feature work, but having a strong understanding of computers I highly doubt its using its own separate rendering engine to access urls directly.

These people (the village founders) had an idea and went for it. I really like that.
We know plants communicate with each other via chemicals. Perhaps we need a chemical -> sound translator.
One argument I might put on the cons side of AOT type validation for configs is that there will always be some invalid inputs that can't be statically checked (e.g. port number already taken), and not failing simple type errors before runtime helps keeping in mind and view whatever feedback channel exists for the runtime failure. I wouldn't consider that a winning argument, but it's not entirely without merit.

A loyalty program is probably a better model for attracting regular customers than this though, right.

You want to attract people willing to pay more or less full price. A program that you get the 10th pie free, and always get a free 2L soda with every pie or something would accomplish that better.

An example - I live part of the year in an area that is more a "summer destination" so a lot of the local restaurants close November thru April.

One hotel restaurant stays open year round, and in their first year they mailed everyone locally an offer to get a 15% off "locals only" loyalty card. You had to apply, send some proof you were local, wait for them to mail the card, and then keep it in your wallet. 15% is a nice little incentive, but given tax/tipping/etc, doesn't materially change the price. Going there off season, even just monthly, all the hosts/waiters know us well now vs the more transient guests. So it sticks out in our mind as a reminder that they are always open, and a friendly place to go eat.

Can you show me on the picture where vim touched you?

The saying "never argue with idiots, they will only bring you down to their level and win by experience" has never been more relevant.

But now I'm kind of curious where this is heading, how long are you willing to keep this up? In how many ways can you say "but what about you" or repeat what I've already said?

Do you feel clever doing this?

Since the beginning you've been antagonistic about the most simple things. I'll give you an example:

>>>> but I swap esc and caps since esc is my most used key

>>> So you use your most used key with a sidewise motion of your weakest finger of your weakest hand? That's just bad ergonomics, and that's what's wrong with the native keybindings

>> I'll clarify that for you, my most used individual key. Most of my typing is on the home row.

> I'll clarify that for you: this is still a big ergonomic issue typing notwithstanding

And this goes on, and on, and on. All of a sudden 2 comments in my "stupid choice of keybindings" is the topic. You break up every sentence into 15 quotes finding anything and everything you can to get back at, why? I'm not trying to win anything here, there are no prizes or awards. Only wasted time.

What is so difficult about staying on topic? Why are you going out of your way to derail the discussion and making this about me to avoid answering a single relevant question I ask?
