The GoboLinux guys really did "intelligently" come up with a filesystem layout that's humanly understandable. I personally find the old-school UNIX conventions we use fairly arcane given we no longer have 8.3 type limits imposed by lack of storage space, >1GB file-size issues, etc.

I ran GoboLinux 012-015 for a few years on a server that I used for hosting version control software and for the most part it kicked ass.

What was a bit of a stumbling point is that if you needed a package that didn't readily exist, you'd have to create the recipe. The language for creating GoboLinux recipes is perfectly understandable, the issue was often one package would depend on a dozen or a few dozen libraries and you'd spend a lot of time chasing that down, getting the versioning for those libraries right, THEN finding a URL for those libraries/packages, and THEN creating the recipe.

I eventually moved over to Debian and I still cringe and config files in "/etc" maybe the binary was put in "/usr/bin" or "/usr/local/bin".

I'm in the camp that finds systemd annoying and kind of like an octopus (you'll often resort to using a find command to locate the associated .service file, you can't rely on them being in once place, the CLI isn't really intuitive) in contrast Gobo had a very simple set of scripts to manage services and it was very easy to work with.

But, the convinience of just being able to 'apt get' what you need or 'dpkg -i <blah.deb>' outweighs the much more sane and intelligence behind GoboLinux. These days the number of Linux distributions people support has dropped from the myraid of options it used to be to now almost always including Debian (or Ubuntu) by default so you it's unlikely you can't get a package or some program installed, even if it outside the repositories.

macOS definitely does something similar to GoboLinux and it makes working with macOS on the CLI (at least prior to the current versions which are fairly user-hostile) pretty easy -- your pen drive will be located in /Volumes, configuration files for a program under ~/Library, etc.
Actually it was what you might call a "joke".

I have no idea what you think I'm defending, but whatever.
Caesar procrastinated so hard he changed time itself!

(This is funny, but I'd be interested to read a source on how true this is. Presumably there were priests that could take care of such things. He took care of lots of other Roman business while he was in Gaul.)
Two paragraphs below:

A "valid treaty" would require Senate approval - it did not have that. It was an agreement, and the US was not bound by it after the Taliban violated it. They wouldn't have been bound to it in any case, because it was never approved by the Senate.

There is no international police force or authority that the president is required to obey.

Biden overruled his advisors and pursued this. His hands were not tied. He's proud he took this action, and has stated so many times.
This is pretty much an actual strategy. The academic/crowdfunded ULX3S FPGA development board went with calling it "GPDI" (general-purpose digital interface). Other strategies include labeling the connector with a little TV/monitor icon, calling it "digital video", or just having a little diagram in the marketing/documentation material with it connected to a TV with a vaguely HDMI-shaped cable.
Both; it's not actually an OSI-defined open source license. Licenses like MIT are, since they have no restrictions on usage, commercial or otherwise.

> After nearly 20 years writing embedded code I'm really (really really really) tired of C. The embedded systems community really needs to embrace better tools.

Hear hear, brother!

I get particularly frustrated about the second point, and I've made it my career goal to get my teams to update their tools and processes. For example, when I joined my current team, they didn't compile debug symbols and didn't know how to use a debugger on our system! Hell, in 2024 I still have colleagues who prefer to use a .dis and .map file than leverage the debug symbols... "What is this "mixed code and disassembly" display you speak of"
> Life is precious because it is short and fleeting.

Here's another viewpoint. Life is not precious at all because it is short and fleeting. Muslim here. We believe only the parts of this life which pertain to afterlife are precious, as afterlife is eternal instead of temporary. This life is merely an end to a means. It doesn't need to be a goal in and of itself because there's another life after it.
I think this is a very well documented wikipedia link personally.

I'm not interested in following your link.
IQ tests are weakly predictive of academic success, especially on the high end (1SD+). In general, it only predicts 8-25% of variance, even when looking in both directions. That's pretty bad, an average exam does a far better job.

Additionally, the IQ of second generation Asian immigrants will revert to the mean. Not only that, but the advtange decreases rapidly as they age, while the academic advantage grows. And the advantage to begin with is very small - average Asian IQ is only about 2.5 points higher than for Whites, even looking at all generations together.

Given the impact of early childhood environment on IQ, and the huge disparity in academic effort across cultures, esp. those that constitute Asian immigrants, it's pretty clear that the idea that the disparity in Asian achievement cannot be explained by an inherited intelligence advantage. All the data is much more consistent with a culture that just drives students to study far harder.

This does make the argument that affirmative action is harmful even stronger, actually. There is no need to fall back to terrible science to do it. The idea that IQ isn't terribly useful is because it isn't terribly useful, except in very rare cases for diagnosis. The current scientific consensus is consistent with an even stronger argument that AA unfairly discriminates against Asian students.

It's also Kurt Vonnegut's rule, for what it's worth.

I think the problem with semicolons is twofold:

1. It allows you to write these horrible long sentences (that thankfully nobody does anymore, but if you look at like a Dickens novel they are everywhere).

2. They're a sort of mark of sophistication and wordiness, probably for reason (1), and it's very much the mainstream of the US tradition to reject that.

For all their desperation for simplicity, I don't actually think US novelists are particularly simple writers - Cormac McCarthy is kinda purple a lot of the time. So my feeling is just wanting to get away from wrought sentences and superficial sophistication isn't really worth anything in itself - it just brings you to a different manner of expressing sophistication.
I think that nouveau can do that. But AMD can't touch this code because it is an US company
I often wonder if we've done consumers, at least in the USA, a significant disadvantage by retiring hard skills like sewing, woodshop, auto repair, cooking etc from middle and high schools. When you understand how to do something, you are more aware of when you're being ripped off, what is quality, and what truly you'd rather pay for someone else to do or provide for you. When you don't have any of those skills or knowledge, you don't know when you're being ripped off OR once you begin to feel you're being ripped off you have to develop the skills to provide what you're not willing or able to buy right in that moment where you have an immediate need.
> Why bother? This is like paying off a debt with low interest early.

Quite the contrary. Once a solar panel is built, you never need to invest into fuel for it, only a tiny bit for maintenance during its lifetime. The energy is provided virtually for free by the sun, gravity or by the aftereffects of Earth's creation many billions of years ago.

A fossil plant, even a nuclear plant, in contrast will require continuous purchases of fuel, of which quite a lot comes from countries that ... aren't really aligned with our Western values.

Reducing CO2 emissions is just a nice side effect.

Are these harmful particles aluminum-specific or general to all metals? What if it was carbon fiber, titanium, thin sheet steel, or some nontoxic plastic?

Wood is a really odd choice, as it is not a very uniform and predictable material to work with, and it seems "reduce detrimental effects on the ozone layer" is the real constraint, rather than biodegradability.

For things on land that decompose rather than burn up, it may be true that "reduce toxic effects on soil and the ecosystem" == "biodegradability", but it's not obvious to me that this applies to something burning up in the atmosphere. Burning wood isn't particularly great for the ozone layer either (c.f. forest fires).
There is another _shocking_ realization in this work: there are 11 types of people: those who know what binary means, those who don't, and those who say they do but actually don't.

I would LOVE to have the big/fancy/major newspapers to have the option of paying $0.50 or $1 for articles. I don't read papers often, but once in a while, if something major is happening, I would love to read a 2-3-4 page analysis, with graphs, maps, etc. in a 'serious' newspaper. And than happens once per quarter.

I'm a firm believer of "The less time one gives to the newspapers the better.."

HN doesn't really have an incentive model for not content.

Personally I don't see down votes or flags as a not protection, they're meant to help patrol against low quality content or content that breaks moderation rules. Overloading it for bots may work for a while, but only for as long as not content is recognizable and/or bad quality.

How would we know to flag not content when it looks just like a real person may have written it? And how do we know quality content isn't already being written by bots?
For a lot of these models, especially the interesting ones, it's the only thing we can tinker and play with.

Well, most of us. I'm sure there's at least one person here who can afford to burn 25 million USD on compute just for fun.
Note that their 2030 targets were already set far too out into the future. They should have been hit 50 years earlier.
I don't know of any carrier hypervisory capability, but there has been a lot of discussion about OnePlus phones and the data they exfiltrate. There's a bunch of vendor bloatware even on my factory-reset phones so it's not out of the question that a carrier-locked phone might have snuck something else in there.

Intelligence can be inferred at the carrier level even with paranoid privacy settings and all apps using HTTPS. CDNs in particular frequently serve content over regular HTTP, and there aren't too many reasons why you'd be communicating with Grindr's CDN. All of this is visible over the wire.

DNS requests betray a lot about you. VPNs are notoriously leaky when it comes to DNS as well. I'd expect that even with a VPN running you're not stopping anything, just changing the exfiltration route for some of your traffic.
I've noticed that some of the original 3-part harmony settings, by self-taught singing masters like Billings, have parallel/empty fourths and fifths, but that these were removed in later 19th-century 4-part settings by "properly educated" musicians. A good example is "Idumea":

I wouldn't worry about toxicity too much - the actual dosage is really low, and a lot less of the pigment makes its way into your blood than you think.

Also, as far as regret goes, if you let an artist who does art you like do something for you, you won't regret engaging them. You can get something on your thigh, for example, that is rarely visible.

If you're really serious about getting a tattoo, here are some things you should think about:

- Find a style you like. Japanese traditional, American traditonal, American neo traditional, highly realistic etc. Different artists specialize in different areas and often go all over the place. It's worth reading the history on american traditional, as a starting point - it has some very direct lineage from the japanese style, which itself is so bright and clear because it was developed before tattoo guns existed.

- Instagram is currently "the" place for artists to show off their work. Also, go on google maps and look at shops' websites in your local city to get links to their artists' instas. This is very much an artisan process.

- Create a list of tattoos you like, and then find an artist who does work you like in the style you like.

- Tell them you're new, that you're open to ideas, and bring a list of art (both stuff they've done and others in a similar style) that you liked. Try not to go in with a very specific idea - rather, be open. For various reasons, most of the better artists won't do walk-ins and have calendars booked weeks or months out. Schedule a consult.

I personally like more funky, clear, bright stuff.

You are aware that windows has each app on its own folder in program\ files and its completely fine. ext4 supports an insane amount of files, so much so that unless you're doing something really out there, you're never going to reach the limit.
Their very first example has issues:

> users

becomes

> WHERE
> like ("email", 'gmail')
> )
> SELECT
> COUNT(*) AS "count()"
> FROM
> "__subquery0";

Fetching everything from the users table can be a ton slower than just running a count on that table, if the table is indexed on email. I had to deal with that very problem this week.
There is a lot of answers here already, but I would remind everyone, what if your target is 38-in-1 DVD/HD/whatever to resell for $5 the only thing you need is a $30 cam pointed at the display.

Yes, it's not pixel perfect. Thing is, the people who buys 38-in-1 do not care about pixel perfect picture. They just want an affordable way to spend an hour and half with their family.

Pretty sure most solar panels are also sourced from countries that are not aligned with western values, while Australia is one of the largest producers of Uranium ore and nuclear powerplants are built locally.
I’m not very familiar with them, but how do they protect sources? If you work somewhere, and want to make something public that will tank the price of your company, filtering your insider trading thru a journal like that seems pretty effective if they shelter their sources like any other big news org.

These types of questions are somewhat simple to go into in smaller teams/projects/companies. It becomes very complex in large enterprises where politics and nepotism plays a role.

The google search term you want is "reproducible builds" which will give you some idea of the technical approaches to that sort of thing.
On a more-serious note, nah, I really don't feel threatened: LLMs are good at "throw high-probability results together from samples in training data", but not "logically analyze the final result to ensure it is sane", nor "change it to make it sane."

So improving LLMs may replace interns (or low-quality outsourcing) where an SWE has to review/fix everything anyway... but it'll take a fundamentally different kind of model to tackle those trickier essential tasks.
my understanding is that embryos aren't the primary source of stem cells anymore and all of these jurisdictions are satisfied

Miqu 70B Q4_K_M writes

Embryonic stem cells are one of the main sources, but not the only ones. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that are 3-5 days old. These cells have the ability to develop into all cell types in the body. However, due to ethical concerns and the limited availability of human embryos, researchers have also developed methods to create induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). iPSCs are adult cells that have been reprogrammed to behave like an embryonic stem cell. They can be generated directly from adult tissues, such as skin or blood cells. Another source of stem cells is the umbilical cord blood and tissue, which is rich in hematopoietic stem cells. Adult (or somatic) stem cells are also present in various tissues in our body, such as bone marrow and fat.

and here is a wiki and non-wiki source I found on iPSCs just in case the LLM made up an acronym. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell

OpenCollective used to be much more transparent about how this was handled, but I don't think the math has actually changed much over the years:

Open Source Collective has a 10% fee. To my understanding, 5% of that used to go to OSC itself and 5% of it used to go to OpenCollective. OSC is stable, and still around, so I assume this math continues to work fine, but they simplified the view of it to just say "10% Host Fee" now, which includes both OSC and OC's portions.

However, you'll notice Open Collective Foundation is only charging 5%! That means, even assuming OCF was getting better pricing than OSC (another arguably internal fiscal host), there's almost no margin for OCF to operate.

It looks like OCF wasn't billing enough to cover what is otherwise probably a pretty reasonable platform cost.

EDIT: Actually, even crazier, it looks like OCF became 5% because OpenCollective gave OCF free service starting in 2020: https://blog.opencollective.com/open-collective-platform-is-...

I've never hunted before in my life and I only just learned about "Spotlighting" in hunting, so I'm a little confused.

I get that using a light makes it easier to hunt deer and other animals since they will stay still as you shine it on them, what I don't get is why this should be illegal. Can any hunters explain it?

So far one reason I've seen is that it can disturb wildlife to shine bright lights all over the place which I understand, but it's not illegal to walk around in the woods with a flashlight in other circumstances so this seems odd.

The other reason I've seen is that it's too easy or "unsporting" to hunt deer in this way. I don't really understand this since you already need a permit/tag/whatever to hunt in the first place, so it's not like you'll get too many deer. If someone wants to hunt this way, why not let them?

Chances are yes. On Android, you can control 'some' of the permissions - the basic ones (contacts, calendar, location, etc.)

There are some though "view Wi-Fi connections", "have full network access", "view network connections", "query all packages", "advertising ID permission", and so on, that give the app (and it's creator) a good view of what's going on in your phone. I tend to (by trial & error) block everything with NoRoot Firewall. Those who want to be naughty though cannot be stopped, as they send both useful and telemetry through the same connection/target IP.
