No, you'd have pinned your NYPD officer sources asses up against the wall because you leaked their information by losing your subpoena fight.

THAT is why this wouldn't be pursued in court.
> The problem the slides are raising is that the POSIX shell's grammar is ad hoc...

...and that's the point. A shell language with no inconsistencies or ambiguities is what we needed, and we didn't get it.

A language with a formal yacc grammar would have helped us get it. Neither the POSIX shell nor CMD.EXE are ever going to meet such a requirement.

I don't know if DCL was clean enough to have a yacc grammar. If it was, then it would have been a better choice.

I don't know why you are defending such a precept when the weaknesses are so very well known.

EDIT: A yacc grammar might be preferred as yacc itself is part of POSIX.2, assuring many implementations.

You can find lex and yacc here:

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/

However, had any formal grammar been used, it would have been far better than what we have now.
I think Siemens Germany is a nice example of just such a cartel. Nicely distributed in small chunks to abide to the letter of (labour) law.

I would not be surprised to find similar structures leveraging Amazon or Google posing as small shops.

Apple choosing to splinter their app store rules, eulas regionally doesn't make it easier (for them) to surveil and control their Apple cosmos either.
Personally I feel the main value of going to Mars is figuring out if it has or ever had life. That kind of search will benefit from scale. More tools to do more experiments, range farther from home base, maybe multiple landing teams. We could find ways to use an arbitrarily large payload.

If you’re a parent with a young toddler who watches Cocomelon, you should learn how they decide to make their reedits.

The cocomelon staff creates a testing environment with a child watching two tvs:

Tv 1 with Cocomelon on
Tv 2 with mundane video like gardening on

When the child shifts their attention away from tv 1, the cocomelon staff reedits the scene to capture more of the child’s attention.

It makes me value high creator effort shows like Peppa Pig and Bluey even more.

Show HN: Hazumi now has Push Notifications for keywords posted on HN
Hey HN!

I'm James, a solo dev working on Hazumi, a Hacker News reader for iOS and web. It's hard to believe it has been around 10 months since I launched my app here on HN.

I'm happy to announce that keyword based Push Notifications are now available. It has quickly become my favourite feature as I've been developing and testing it these past few weeks. Widgets still have a place in my heart though.

It has been super neat to follow the Apple and Epic saga and various programming languages through notifications as soon as they're posted.

Essentially, there are a list of keywords you can subscribe to, and when they appear in the title of a post on Hacker News, you'll get notified immediately. I'm adding more keywords to that list as time goes on. I'm happy to add your suggestions too.

It's worth noting that the app does cost $/€1 to download and it also requires a subscription of $/€1 per month for push notifications. However, there is a free trial for new users. Your financial support really helps me afford the server, database, AI summaries, and now Push Notifications.

As always, I welcome everyone's feedback and feature requests.

Web version is here: https://www.hazumi.news

Cheers HN!

Yes if people are harmed by your actions as an attorney that is my opinion of what should happen.
I love this anecdote because we've discussed following "Tesla's model" of autonomy, where they have incrementally delivered more complex driver-assist features.

It's very different from others like Waymo, who are going for more of an all-or-nothing approach.

Similarly, we hope to be useful early with fairly simple features so that we can get it into developers' hands to learn how to incrementally make the product better.
Keep posting about this. I feel the same way.
Being direct cause of death is treated very differently based on mens rea, or intent. Assassinating somebody and causing a death by accident or by negligence carries very different penalties. Being a cause of something and being guilty of it are different things.

What makes you think morality is arbitrary? Morals are instilled by the superego. The superego is an internalized version of your parents. You decided to do your homework because your parents told to, but now you’re much older. Does it still seem like doing homework was an arbitrary decision? Of course not. It had a purpose and a goal that was well-thought out. You just couldn’t understand it as a child because you’d only lived so long and the goal of doing your homework was too far in the future for you to be able to comprehend it.
This is how all morals are. They all have a goal. If they don’t have a goal, then we don’t consider them moral: if treating someone nicely (magically) causes that person to kill millions of people, then we wouldn’t say it was moral to treat them nicely.

Concrete blocks are not tolerant of certain heat ranges (they can crumble) so maybe some extra hard portland cement would do the trick?

It's a half-assed bribe to try and keep big developers on their side. "Alright, alright, we'll let you keep some money - just stop crying to the regulators already!"
> The CTF is a platform access fee, and not a fee for interoperating with system ABIs/services/APIs

So the distinction is that they're charging devs to be allowed to run their app on iOS period, rather than charging for access to a particular set of APIs (which would be illegal)?

Because if so, there's a hole in that argument. Right now I can run any web app I want on my iPhone and the developer need pay no platform access fee. However, that app is blocked by Apple from accessing many native APIs, despite it running on my hardware. And to access those APIs it would need to pay Apple a fee...

So in conclusion, Apple should charge every website operator a per-user annual fee for using the Apple's platform.
No one cares about these devices. If you care, feel free to lobby for some regulation to address this. I doubt you'll face much opposition from people who want to install arbitrary software on their iPhone.

Employer health insurance got its start in WW2 when Roosevelt instituted wage freezes. Shipping companies could not raise wages to attract more workers, so they raised wages indirectly by offering health insurance.
Does it have to do with syllables?

I use English mostly (and am certainly a native English speaker), but use my mother tongue to memorize numbers, as mine (Cantonese) has single syllable numbers. I think I can keep 5-7 numbers in short-term memory in english, whereas I think it's closer to 10 or 12 in Cantonese.
Yeah, this is something that I'd love to see research on, though I imagine it might be difficult to find enough people to act as subjects.

"Lost trust" is a complicated matter. I think I have list a great deal of trust in Boeing, and try to avoid 737 max and 787 planes when I fly, but if flights with those planesc are the only reasonable choices, I'll still go. The probability of injury or death is still fantastically low. Maybe my views on that will change over time. We'll see.

The bottom line is that I have places to go, and if my risk tolerance was zero, that would be a very difficult way to live my life.
Indeed. Long term colonisation plans (if you can call them that at this point) generally come with "here's how to we make an artificial magnetosphere" — people do have solutions, though none of them are appropriate for just one mission on just one ship.

I wonder if there's a clause where retirement benefits are clawed back if you choose to become a whistleblower. That would hurt; 62 years old, your whole life spent at Boeing, and then all your retirement suddenly evaporates because you chose to cause problems.
That sounds awfully like market manipulation. We need something a tad more subtle.
It started really interesting... I clicked with more and more enthusiasm, and was wondering what's the catch. I found it at the end: they ask for email address to get any kind of results whatsoever.

No code tools sell the same dream.
While I don't belong to the same group, I've been working remotely for a bit over 2 decades now (not continuously at first, but yes for the last 15 years) so on weekdays I do end up speaking more in English than in Spanish (my native language) with other people, and I definitely have the same issues you mention with number-words.

I'm not sure if it's related but a similar thing happens with spelling. I guess because there's some ordinal relation to the letters in a word? But I feel whenever I need to spell my name in English it takes me about the same mental effort as giving my phone number, and I'm otherwise rather fluent in that language.
Those reviews are hilarious
The most recent data I could find, from 2019, shows that 17% of CVEs are in PHP code, 12% in Java, and 11% in JavaScript - all memory-safe languages.

Memory safety bugs are only one class of security vulnerabilities, and there's nothing magical about memory safeness that causes a developer using that language to suddenly become expert at writing secure code.

For that matter, some vulnerabilities actually seem much more common in memory-safe languages - try searching the CVE database for "SQL injection c++" (287 results) vs javascript (3420), Java (2160), or PHP (11300).
I also can't get myself to do it seriously for my own tasks, but when I had to do it for a jr colleague I found out... yeah, breaking it down its hard, as hard as coding - then you get most of the hard work already done, and coding the solution becomes trivial. Chances of false starts go from 80% to 20%.

(A few times there is prototyping involved but I won't share that with non-devs, since they don't seem to get it.)
> It was the popularity of unofficially created apps running on unlocked original iPhones (which led to many unlocking their iPhone) that convinced Apple to create the App Store.

This just isn't the case. The first iPhone with iOS 1.0 was essentially a very advanced demo that just barely made it out the door. There was no SDK, API documentation, or much of any developer toolchain for early iOS. Ask anyone that fought to build even simple unofficial apps what a nightmare using those early frameworks was like. They were not ready for public consumption.

Web apps were never the long term goal for third parties. Steve Jobs might have said that in public but it was a deflection about native SDK questions. Web apps were a stopgap until the dumpster fire of an internal SDK could be rebuilt.
Yeah, it seems like it got published too early.

This is weird, and it does sound ominous. I went to double check the configuration!

Title is misleading, and should be changed to match the original headline. Pilot has not reported that information directly; this is hearsay from a passenger.
What happened to corporate America after Jack Welch, and others with the same ideology, is the epitome of Goodhart's Law to me.

Valuation and stock price used to be a metric effected by how well a company was managed, how good their products were and how well they sold in a market. Since this whole bullshit of shareholder value being the utmost objective of corporations; gamed, and optimised for; when it became the mantra of what defines "good management", not only incentivised but almost religiously followed it simply ceased to be a good metric.

The results are what we see, flailing (and failing) corporations that keep entering into death spirals by pursuing the highest share price possible, not as a side-effect of being a good company but by gaming it in the most absolutely ludicrous ways to pump the stock price, number goes up, it's all good, execs get their bonuses.

Unfortunately I don't see this culture changing without really bad stuff happening, it's so entrenched in corporate executive culture for the past 40 years that only a bloodbath of companies going under after many crisis brought by these same managers will create some will to change this absurd system. The side-effects onto common people would be dire considering that many are also invested in the stock market which these companies carry most of the weight. We're all hostages to this bullshit now.

Sometimes anonymous is sufficient.

But if the regulator is building a legal case in the US against a company and the only evidence they have is what the whistleblower provides, right to face one's accuser (a right we do not give up lightly) demands that the whistleblower be named.

If you were only using GPT 3.5 (free ChatGPT) then your opinion is irrelevant.

With GPT-4 you could directly ask it: "rewrite your previous response so that it sounds less generic, less amateurish, and not written by a committee". I'm not even joking. Just provide enough information and tell it what to do. If you don't like the output then tell it what needs to be improved. It's not a mind reader.

Also GPT-4 is a year old now. Claude 3 is already superior and GPT-5 will be next level.

I think we could agree generally that "the hostile work environment at Boeing ... led to his death." It is appalling that they could apply this kind of pressure to one of their own .

I'm not familiar with the process here, but does anyone know if the officer makes the determination that this is a "self-inflicted gunshot wound"? I thought that kind of assessment was for the coroner to determine over the course of the investigation.
When? When Apple products will stop being perceived as something better than competition. They somehow created the image that they are some sort of luxury, but if that was ever an actual case its long gone. Don't take me wrong, its a fine long term marketing performance and I respect them for it, but lets be a bit more technical and less emotional here.

Some phones are way more expensive than A top line, have massive cameras, better screens, batteries (I mean real life, one of failures on A side for first decade), better integration with rest of the electronic world (like streaming fullhd tv from phone to any TV I saw so far, or having mouse&keyboard desktop on big screen via single USB-C cable out of box, or very good pen within the phone - image editing goes to another level). Plus you have much bigger variety, anything from 50$. And they are open, not unimportant aspect not only for many HN users.

That doesn't mean they do bad products, in contrary. But emotions aside, its now just another set of products with personally weird philosophy, even weirder emotional fanbase and just a much more closed ecosystem.

It has, not only in this case but also here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLM_CityHopper_Flight_431

And there are many other examples.

I guess it depends by what you mean by "at altitude"? Most of these accidents did happen below 10.000 feet yes. And the mountain wave phenomenon in New Zealand in particular reaches pretty high. Some glider pilots use it to get up really high, so high some of them got frostbitten.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPnp4pJ_bg There at 19k feet.

But yes at that altitude the phenomenon is probably not strong enough anymore to break up an airliner.
