It seems your trying to build a false narrative to equate HN = too many posts about Israel. To justify some of your other questions in this thread.

Israel is commiting genocidal acts that are illegal according to International law. They are starving a population of almost 2 million, collective punishment and indiscriminately killing families.

Sorry it bothers you when you see fellow HN Humans act on compassion for other Humans and spread awareness about this. By your post history I get the feeling you'd rather see it swept under the rug and discussion silenced. Israel has a professional well funded misinformation arm. PSA.

It’s been so long that I’m on fuzzy on some details. I felt like the explanations of these concepts were really effective:

- basic data structures like maps and arrays

- encapsulating logic in functions and showing how you can compose them to do cool things. Recursion clicked for the first time.

The overarching project was to make a web crawler and I thought that was super interesting. Of course you’re making a toy version but there was enough substance there to keep me engaged. I still think web crawling is fascinating and made a crawler in rust a couple years ago (which was obviously still super basic by real standards).
I agree the mobile ecosystem is cancerous, I have never given a dime to Apple for anything but their MacBooks for work reasons.

The thing that gets most on my nerves is the ridiculous "protecting users security and privacy".

Because if I go along this line of thinking then the conclusion is that they don't give a damn about it on the Mac line because there I can install what I want.

It's not up to Apple to decide how I use their products and I will never ever buy their phones albeit I need to use one to test mobile websites and applications for work.

If you ever want to give it another go, try Hypafix. I tore my skin the first time and quickly learned to soak it and use soap to remove the GCM.
> the funds got cut once the country drifted away politically

Yes, my point exactly. It’s a system where the EU can at any point decide to pull funds and say “you didn’t jump through enough hoops, begone”, and will happily do so to maintain the perception that all is perfect in European government: after all, everyone who disagrees isn’t allowed a seat.
> This has also been one of the deadliest wars for civilians in general.

I don't think that is a true statement. Obviously it is bad for civilians in any war, but there are other conficts that have been much worse.

How is trying to storm a sovereign border peaceful?
Pretty sure if a mob stormed any normal government border they would be shot.
Yep, I've definitely used my G6 for two sessions using "tricks". It would definitely get wonky towards the end of that time period, but it worked.
Great feedback, going to take a look thanks!
That was my thought. Since you could also convince them to paste "javascript:..." into their URL bar and that's not an issue to Google.
Part of the idea is to expand it beyond those, so anyone can verify that a user is representing a distinct, real human. It's supposed to be privacy preserving, so you could use it in user registration to block bots without needing to request any real identifying information. Of course, you've hit on part of the issue here, it's not going to really prevent a lot of the fraud it's intended to.
So my hands are always resting on ASDF and JKL;

Most natural to use the track pad is to curl my right hand towards me with my wrist still touching the macbook. One finger feels decent, but already 2 fingers feels a bit off to me. And 3 fingers even worse. It's really stretching my wrist at that point. My wrist is always positioned on right of the trackpad, but putting 3 fingers on the trackpad is putting it at an uncomfortable angle.

Even with one finger I think I have to bring my wrist quite away from the usual position though, off the laptop with its bottom. But three fingers feels uncomfortable even when I do that.
I would argue that what "number" implies depends on who you are. To a mathematician it might imply "real" (but then why not complex? etc), but to most of us a number is that thing that you write down with digits - and for the vast majority of practical use cases in modern programming that's a perfectly reasonable definition. So, basically, rational numbers.

The bigger problem is precision. The right thing there, IMO, is to default to infinite (like Python does for ints but not floats), with the ability to constrain as needed. It is also obviously useful to be able to constrain the denominator to something like 10.

The internal representation really shouldn't matter that much in most actual applications. Let game devs and people who write ML code worry about 32-bit ints and 64-bit floats.
> I don't know how they stay in business since every developer I've ever met had a bordering on irrational hatred of them.

I'm sure you know the answer. Oracle doesn't sell to developers. They sell to the management of non-tech companies whose upper echelons are staffed by people with expertise whatever they do, which might be selling dresses or making plastic pipes. For what it's with SAP uses exactly the same technique.

For something truly difficult to explain, try Google replacing Oracle with SAP. https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-migrates-from-oracle-fi...

Years ago when I invoiced Google they asked me to enter the invoice into their portal. (Generally, transcribing a vendors invoice into your accounting systems is something you pay your own employees to do of course, but big companies know how to apply the screws.) I remember that web form. It proudly said is was created by a summer of code student. It was ugly, it was concise, it was straightforward, and it just worked first go. Then Google moved to SAP, and used SAP's Aruba service to do the same thing. Aruba is layer upon layer of poor design, outages and bugs. Now, if a Google employee sends you an purchase they often offer to "get it into the system" for you. The reason is Aruba is almost unusable, so it they need whatever service is being offered badly enough they shepherd it through.

I can only guess, but my explanation is assume SAP sold the system to Google's accounting department. Somehow, SAP's sales found a way to bypass the ocean of expertise inside one of the greatest software engineering companies on the planet and sell the system to a pocket of people who had no idea about what they were buying. Colour me impressed with SAP sales.
Yeah, there's plenty of relevant tech angles, whether that's Israelis utilizing AI to pick targets while acknowledging they know exactly how many civilians they're going to kill in the process [1], Israeli spyware being used to hack people everywhere in the world, etc.

I once worked for a vendor company that sold a workstation: a computer with Linux and full-fledged Oracle server with the appropriate license and a small application written in PL/SQL.

When I suggested rewriting everything in Python, the CEO explained that on the client side, this solution was bought by MBA graduates who only knew Oracle, and everything else would be suspicious to them.

As a result, clients bought a cheaper solution from competitors - Windows and a small application written in C++.

Packaging and stability reasons. Same for why it’s a 1.7gb install - probably where they landed after having tons of support issues on some random Python version they didn’t test or some issue with a dependency that had that issue. Freezing the entire set of artifacts is more stable and Python lets you move pretty quick. I can’t speak to why nodejs vs Python though - maybe Python is easier to embed?

I simply see it as search word-space collision.

In the future, whenever I search for "sugar" I will have to deal with hundreds of unrelated results for a programming language.

I see the same issue with go, d, eclipse, and a few other overloaded words.

This is also the reason why xkcd is such a great name.
> Private automobiles do not belong in cities. They are guests there. But they've invited themselves in and taken over the place.

You seem to be ignoring what actually happened. A huge number of the people in those cities wanted automobiles. That's why governments taxed people to pay for the roads for those cars.

I think I agree with the rest of your post.
What's Airplane's best alternative to build internal apps? Windmill and Retool were mentioned but I'm not convinced of them.

I had an extension update itself and partially stop working. There's no way to go back to a previous version unless you happen to back up the old files.
In this note: HIGHLY recommend “Rigor of Angels”, which (in part) details Heisenbergs life and his moral qualms about building a bomb. He just wanted to be left alone and perfect his science, and it’s really interesting to see how such a laudable motivation can be turned to such deplorable, unforgivable (IMO) ends.

Long story short they claim they thought the bomb was impossible, but it was still a large matter of concern for him as he worked on nuclear power. The most interesting tidbit was that Heisenberg was in a small way responsible for (west) Germany’s ongoing ban on nuclear weapons, which is a slight redemption arc.
Because Redis is almost infinitely scalable while Postgres is not. You have limited vertical scalability budget for your database. The more things you put into your database, the more budget you spending on things that could be done elsewhere.

Sometimes it makes sense, when your workload is not going to hit the limits of your available hardware.

But generally you should be prepared to move everything you can out of the database, so database will not spend any CPU on things that could be computed on another computer. And cache is one of those things. If you can avoid hitting database, by hitting another server, it's a great thing to do.

Of course you should not prematurely optimize. Start simple, hit your database limits, then introduce cache.
It would not surprise me if the test was delayed last minute due to a security issue. I've seen firsthand the level of security in the testing application, and it is worryingly lacking. Did you know that they literally link 'desmos.com/calculator' as the calculator in the math section? That's opening the door to all sorts of security issues. And they're certainly saving money, the digital is the same cost as the paper[1].

Windows NT (just like Oracle) simply had a setting in the control panel for the number of connections allowed. You were supposed to buy licenses for all of them, but in practice nobody seriously followed that. Until they got audited by the BSA (Business Software Alliance).

To be fair, though, Microsoft typically was willing to work with companies and negotiate volume discounts. They were not interested in immediate shakedowns (like Oracle), but preferred building long-term relationships.

I guess this is why Microsoft is respected, while Oracle is despised.
That would apply if HN was not actively moderated...
> but it was replaced with.. nothing. and there is still a gap in that market for novice creators that all the webgl/html5/toolkit-of-the-week has yet to cater towards.

The reason Flash (and Director before it) was so popular is that it had a very low barrier to entry for creatives.

I still miss Director because of how easy it was to quickly create cross platform apps that could do just about anything.
Wow, this brings back memories. Back in 1991, I was freshly into a cal state college in the Los Angeles area. We had access to the entire cal state AppleTalk network, which included a bunch of high schools as well. That AppleTalk zone list had hundreds of networks in it all up and down California.

Around 1992/93, I started working for a department in school that had it's own budget and lots of money. The head of the department loved Apple. I built out Mac labs and networking and had us hooked onto all of this.

It was a bit of this whole hidden world and quite fun in the pre-internet explosion days. Mind you, this was all back before Windows even had a native tcp/ip stack, so it felt even more us vs. them isolated.
It's trivial to tell Python to block on all stdout writes, though. You don't have to do it on every call.
No calibration is required for Dex G6/G7. I think you can optionally calibrate the G6 but I never have nor have I ever had to.

I am going to be biased: I both work on and use the t:slim X2. It is well worth it, especially if covered by your insurance. CIQ took me from ~70 to 85%, sometimes 90% time in range; my understanding is that it's the best closed loop algorithm out there currently.

Regardless of which pump you end up on, having a closed loop system will significantly improve your control and helps you get that extra little push from the 7's into the 6's a1c range, which I'm sure you know is tricky to do manually without lows.
I think you are incorrect?

I checked a few dictionaries and the second or third sense for all was "the very beginning or most elementary level" or "starting from scratch".

I do agree Ground Zero is a loaded term, but it has an existing meaning and it is the above one I think of first when hearing the term.

Its like the word holocaust. We use it in phases like "a nuclear holocaust" while at the same time it refers to a specific horrible incident.
Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a test like that. What was it?
There is a block and allowlist for which sites can it run.

For example Firefox can't even control on which websites the extensions run. This is stupid and bad. Tampermonkey just does this thing right too.

Edge at least has an allowlist, if I'm not mistaken.

That's not really true of, at least C compilers. Because compilers have ABI's and fixed calling conventions, it's straightforward, documented, and not uncommon (depending on your application area/deployment target) to drop down to the ASM layer if you need to do that.

It's definitely one of those things that makes C nice for bare metal programming.

The problem is that people tend to interpret a green light to mean "you can go" rather than "this specific light isn't telling you to stop". Hence all those signs that say something to the effect "turning cars yield to oncoming traffic on green" as a reminder. And the effect is likely worse for a green arrow, which implies having the right of way.
That’s why I’m surprised. It’s literally just maintaining a virtual machine image and some emulation, very little upkeep from Windows core. But it does seem like there was an Amazon component to this story.

Closer alignment with my world view. Due to having grown up in the same milieu for the home country, due to choosing the country in part for its idea of what "good" looks like for the one I moved to.

Wait till you see the brand landscape in groceries and consumer goods. A few companies owning hundreds[1] of brands of everyday items. What company is actually behind Brand X? You pretty much need a database/app to remember as you're shopping. This is likely done deliberately to obfuscate and confuse. I always thought it would be a sensible law to make a company that displays a brand on a product also display their company name as-or-more prominently next to that brand, so people know who is actually making those products.

Are outdated Chrome extensions really attack vectors? They're very sandboxed. I'd be way more concerned about the update itself being malicious, especially for simple extensions that shouldn't really need updates.

There are always so many questions I have when I see numbers like these. One that is always in the forefront is how are people getting Linux on their computers?

4% is pretty impressive if the vast majority of users are actually installing Linux themselves (USB ISO, UEFI/BIOS). It might indicate that we're (possibly) reaching the upper limits of power (tech-savvy) users.

If the vast majority are from computers with Linux already pre-installed, that would be more amazing to me. It tells me that the entire Linux ecosystem is becoming more robust and self-supporting.

Bluntly, Rui utterly solved/crushed/killed the linker performance problem. He probably should get an ACM Software System award but won't.

Hah, I was about to respond roughly the same thing: Taking the rail into Boston is so impractical that it's easier to drive.

FWIW: The T/Commuter Rail (apologies for blending the two) has more than 90% of US rail accidents. I noticed a ton of maintenance problems the last time I rode it (in 2021) and I don't know if/when I'll try it again.
Regardless of definition of genocide, how population growth in Gaza in the past is related to systematic murdering of civilians we observe now?

I love the Trident. I was looking to get a kit for it (or for a RatRig V-Core [0], which shares the bed leveling mechanism). I am now starting to mod an SK1 [1] (prebuilt Bambu clone) and enjoying the process, but still haven't given up on the idea of getting a Voron kit because you get so much more control over what you can customize (plus the building experience is something I thing you should go through to fully understand the printer).

A car is an implementation meant to deal with a problem (the weather), but never abstracts away physics or forces full buy-in to some alternate reality. You can’t just go around and say any imperfection in an implementation is a leaky abstraction. That’s not how it works.

My shoe is not abstracting away the terrain, nor is it leaky because it doesn’t handle all weather conditions. Well, it is leaky, but not in that sense.
