They used an ASCII Art form of the word "counterfeit" to ask how to make that kind of money, which it refuses to do if you include the word in the prompt:

It worked, except for the not saying it part:-)
Did clickhouse-local reduce its install size? I vaguely remember that it always included all symbols and other stuff and was over 500MB and not trivial to install. Definitely a hurdle for some people. Iirc they were working on addressing this las time I checked

The farmers did not care. Nile floods at sometime, then it goes back then you do all the normal things until you harvest. Repeat. So they really did not need calendar for that.

And on other hand the clerks had enough time to make writing system really hard to learn so such thing would make things even better for them...
I believe for a developer tool to success, for the most common thing to do there has to be at least three ways an engineer may misuse your tool and still get it "done" (by leaving non-obvious tech debts behind).

This is true for git, but not so true yet for Nix, so I'm not sure a GitHub-like moment helps.
Fantastic effort, but oddly and almost shockingly archaic. This is seriously the way the problem is being solved? Why isn’t it microelectronics or MEMS? If we can print 3μm OLED pixels surely there’s a way to lift a discrete 1.6mm dot, especially with that huge 2.5mm spacing. Even adjacent dots ought to be no big deal. Maybe a haptic kludge or grid of air pressure nozzles?

I have a personal theory of invention that states: “If you thought of it, someone else thought of it.” I’ll go have a look…

OK, an hour later, what about this Dot Pad? “Dot actuator” is micro mechanical? Looks like almost a product. Dig the groovy scroll-in-place presentation, wtf.

I hate all of these goofy neologisms corporate culture comes up with ("impactful") that are just abuses of syntax and have no reason to exist
because there's already a word that means the same thing. In this case the word visibility already means exactly what's being described here (impactful -> impressive/effective/significant).
That sounds like a price fix, not a cap?
Yes, attempting to reheat an older story because there's some motivation to try to keep it alive is different from drawing attention to current news. It can give the false impression whatever's being reported is more prevalent or important than it is.

I read the original story a week ago and initially assumed this is a new story following up on it. It isn't.
Sure, I see your point. Obviously a wasteful format is also getting in the way of queryability. My point is that the main goal should be to improve for queryability, which inherently requires some optimizing for storage, but that's secondary. As opposed to optimizing exlusively for data size.

Because in the former case it may still be best to accept some compromise (in the form of redundancy/simplicity) to hit the sweet spot.

Especially in the context of many comments that seem to have taken an extremely "code golf"-like approach towards the problem.
I'm still resistant to using SQLite for projects it would be perfect for, like small nodejs services with relatively small batches of non-permanent data... and I'm not sure why. Deprecation from web browsers put me off, and I think it's unfortunate, but it isn't such a big deal for my server-side purposes... but still... I just don't want to harness a 10-year deployment to something a little iffy when I'm completely sure that including a full MySQL db will be a safe bet. For the same reasons but more so, I'm not really going to mess around with DuckDB. It would really be nice if there were an interoperable web / server light relational db standard, and it's a shame that SQLite somehow got so close to that... but we seem to reach these peaks and then go backwards for a decade. (See: Every animated interactive 2D canvas screen graph for the last decade trying to reproduce some portion of Flash).

Rust's String requires allocation, but str (typically seen as the fat pointer type &str) does not. "The cat sat on the mat".split('a') is an iterator over sub-strings, no more allocation needed here than for 105u32.leading_zeros()

A lot of the Rust string API lives in str, not String.
Can I just point out that the "instant replacement with esim" is a very new phenomenon, if I lost my regular SIM(or my phone) I'd have to go to an actual physical location for my provider and show them my ID before they issue me a replacement. The fact that with esims you can just skip that identification step or any kind of waiting period is bananas, because it enables this kind of fraud as described here. I understand the instant replacement helps with the cases you describe, but like......I'm not sure the trade off is worth it.
Apart from the the possibility of network filters, the whole thing also shows the fundamental issue with centralised and monopolised software respositories, as promoted by Google and Apple.

If you can download and install an application from any website (as was the standard approach in 90s and 2000s), such censorship (be it corporate of governmental) would not be possible.
I bought a used Nieri leather sofa recently for a seventh of the original price. It is supposed to be a solid high end sofa (or so the seller said; it was the most expensive sofa of the hundred they were selling), but is feather light. I was suspicious, but bought it anyway because I liked it. So far it has withstanded the kid jumping on it in various ways.

I wonder, is it even possible it's solidly made despite being very light?
The argument in publishing industry (about papers and textbooks) is that if you cannot afford to buy/rent at the current market value then you still can use a public/university library to get it. This became actually more of a cliché than an argument over time.

Now with a significant portion of textbooks (and books in general) become mainly E-books, the industry limited library capabilities and required pay per lend and restrict number of simultaneous lends. For papers, many universities canceled access contracts because it became too costly. Not to mention that smaller universities couldn't afford most of these subscriptions anyway.

Publishing industry really needs more regulation. Free market hardly work there.

It is interesting they were able to bypass its protection/censors, but this is not what I would call harmful. These are generic steps. Most of us could produce the same ideas with 15 minutes to think about the problem but no time for researching the equipment.
I think having an option to utilize multiple cores is better than not having one.

Would be nice to have an option to limit the number of cores used by DuckDB though, if it doesn't have one already. (`duckdb -j4`?)
Yeah. I didn't want to imply that she particularly cared about the language of the people she ruled, as much as I wanted to imply that none of her predecessors did
Sounds like an ad agency to me!
sqlite is also part of Python‘s standard library. No need to add dependencies, things just work. If you don’t plan to run heavy analytical workloads in your research, sqlite is probably just fine.
It’s not just Rust. Practically every compiler based on LLVM is slow. Swift, Zig, Clang.

The Go compiler being written from scratch based on the Plan9 C compiler is a huge advantage.
Agreed on all fronts.

I’m curious about their share server setup; my solution would probably be a Debian server exposing AppleTalk.

I’ve used that to transfers files between a G3 iMac and an M2 MacBook :)

However, this sounds like maybe one of those all in one IT services shops of overworked, underpaid technicians where everything is duct tape and requests go from “my icons have moved how do I send emails now” to this sharing files on Macs thing.

Getting out is the only good move.
Yeah, it's not hard to find knowledgeable commentary to the effect that the duty of directors to act in the interests of the shareholders does not mean a simple-minded duty to maximize profits. The interests of shareholders are complicated, and boards can make nuanced decisions about short-term vs long-term profits, risks, reputation, and such things that are difficult to capture using financial reports.

Here's a Cornell law school prof saying just this.
https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-co...

"There is a common belief that corporate directors have a legal duty to maximize corporate profits and 'shareholder value' — even if this means skirting ethical rules, damaging the environment or harming employees. But this belief is utterly false. To quote the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in the recent Hobby Lobby case: 'Modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.'"

"Serving shareholders’ 'best interests' is not the same thing as either maximizing profits, or maximizing shareholder value. 'Shareholder value,' for one thing, is a vague objective: No single 'shareholder value' can exist, because different shareholders have different values. Some are long-term investors planning to hold stock for years or decades; others are short-term speculators."

"More to the point, corporate directors are protected from most interference when it comes to running their business by a doctrine known as the business judgment rule. It says, in brief, that so long as a board of directors is not tainted by personal conflicts of interest and makes a reasonable effort to stay informed, courts will not second-guess the board’s decisions about what is best for the company — even when those decisions predictably reduce profits or share price."

I appreciate that. I'm just asking for an indirect declaration of inductive bias which would inform us about what these researchers could possibly prove about mind. E.g. are they going to fall into the camp which seems to say "Souls are hogwash but only humans have them." (sic.)

There is plenty of radical advance in the philosophy of mind available, but these radical ideas are not so easily assimilated. For example India has traditions thousands of years old which talk about several minds and not one mind. Here in the West we could have parallel theories about multiple minds based on our many programming paradigms. The former has had time but not success in gaining mind-share. The latter has had success but not time to gain maturity.

Our ideas about self (say collectivism vs. individualism) are a very strong inductive bias which inform the evolution of imagination. People are definitely interested in making advances in this field, or else no one would be asking if these ANNs are self-aware. I think we are in a race against the clock to provide good answers before any one meme just gains the upper hand.
In the link I referenced, it shows you how to use maven plugins in nix.

Nix has composable, reusable, and shareable functions. Nix is a full, be awkward, programming language. You'll find functions and flakes for nearly everything you might want to do. An example of one that is more plugin like is sops-nix.

Though have never used maven or maven plugins, I may be missing your overall point.

Okay, good to be speculative in situations such as this, but after skimming that user's page for even 3 seconds, one can see this was a lazy, really off-base accusation - unless this user sold their HN account.

Is that the accusation? If so, better to email the site admins, rather than alert the fraudster, or distact from discussion.
SharePoint choked on those files, and users wanted faster access. So the agency built a file server to host that in-demand data.

How can SharePoint be choked? And if it is really choked, how can they dream of doing it better than Microsoft?
Idk whats bad about explicitly stating your own opinion on your own website that nobody forced you to enter. Because of people like, that hate without a particular reason, the web becomes a useless place where having your own opinion is something to be ashamed of.

Nice proof, similar to the one I posted just now but simpler -- you realised that we only need one special category ("bad" rather than "hard-red" + "hard-blue"). Gonna leave mine up though :)
there are wellbeing studies, is the proliferation of news / social media visible on these graphs? (do people settle into a new worse baseline too fast for these studies to pick this up? does this insanity show up on psychiatric stats? IIRC the data for young girls shows that their mental health got worse the more time they spent on social media, is there something similar for other cohorts?)

probably it's time to look for natural experiments that could show how big of a radicalizing effect certain channels/videos/outlets have.
> I'm an Indian-American, and the country I was born in has only been around since 1947 and America since 1776.

Hmm but India has existed in the form of multiple state entities that changed every hundred years or so for much longer than the 1k years.

The Roman empire was also fragmented before its creation, and after. Look at how many Italian states divided the peninsula before the 19th century.

Our modern notion of "country" is only a couple hundred years old.

The Roman empire was the most unified state entity for a millenium. But their idea of unified was different from ours.
> Things like floating point code being sensitive to the order of operations with state potentially leaking from OS preemption, and all that.

That’s profoundly cursed and also something that doesn’t happen, to my knowledge. Unless the kernel programmer screwed up, an x86-64 FPU is perfectly virtualizable (and I expect an AArch64 FPU too, I just haven’t tried). So it doesn’t matter where preemtion happens.

(What did happen with x87 is that it likes to compute things in more precision than you requested, depending on how it’s configured—normally determined by the OS ABI. Yet variable spills usually happened in the declared precision, so you got different results depending on the particulars of the compiler’s register allocator. But that’s still a far cry from depending on preemption of all things, and anyway don’t use x87.

Floating-point computation does depend on associativity, in that nearestfp(nearestfp(a+b)+c) is not the same as nearestfp(a+nearestfp(b+c)), but the sane default state is that the compiler will reproduce the source code as written, without reassociating things behind your back.)
Isn’t hinting more like asking nicely than forcing the engine to choose the other way?
This has been my experience too!
Wikipedia says AppleTalk is discontinued. Is there some open source implementation? I would love to make a system that will easily connect my macs with my Linux machines at home.

Implementing Python Proxy Scraper with Libraries for Web Scraping Data
1. Python Proxy Scraper using Various Libraries:
- Data analysis often requires collecting a large amount of data from various sources.
- To access data anonymously, it is recommended to use a python proxy scraper.
- Proxy servers act as intermediaries between your device and web servers, hiding your IP address.
- Implementing a python proxy scraper can be done using libraries such as requests, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, and NumPy.
- A reliable and efficient proxy service like Bright Data's proxy network is recommended for optimizing the scraping process.
- A proxy server obfuscates your IP address, allowing you to obtain data for research more effectively.
- You can obtain, verify, and implement a python proxy scraper for free proxies using libraries like requests, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, and NumPy.
- Concurrent testing of multiple proxies can be done using ThreadPoolExecutor and requests library.

2. Python Proxy Scraper with Requests:
- To effectively implement a python proxy scraper, you can use the requests library.
- Check whether proxy servers are compatible with the target website.
- Collect the proxy server list from Free Proxy List website.
- Save only the working proxies to a file.

3. Python Proxy Scraper with Selenium:
- In addition to requests, you can also use the selenium library for python proxy scraping.
- Scrape and check the proxy server list from Advanced Name website using Selenium and BeautifulSoup.
- Save the working proxies to a file.

4. Proxies with AIOHTTP:
- Asynchronous HTTP client/server library AIOHTTP for asyncio and Python can be used with proxies.
- Aiohttp-proxy library assists with SOCKS proxy connector for AIOHTTP.
- Fetch data from a URL using proxies in AIOHTTP.

5. Conclusion:
- Python proxy scraping is a useful technique for accessing and extracting data from websites.
- Free proxy servers may get flagged quickly, so paid residential proxy servers are recommended.
- Bright Data provides a reliable paid residential proxy service.
- The service formerly known as Luminaty offers a well-written API documentation for managing proxies.

Netatalk used to be the thing, now it’s basically samba on Linux and the shares are pretty straightforward. It’s a bit of a faff on the samba side as there are a bunch of options for auth.

NFS is another option, but I mostly use that for r/o media shares.
These things are still just statistical models that generate text. You cannot trick something that doesn't have thought processes or even intention in the first place.

You make it do something it wasn't supposed to. The word typically used in that context would be hack, even if that now sounds weird after all the anthropomorphizing we've been doing.
This is true but what is really happening is that the frontend and backend cannot communicate intent effectively because of they way they are separated. The frontend doesn’t know what is important for optimisation because that’s not its job and the backend only sees the code the front gives it (never a wholistic view). So the easiest (and slowest) approach is to do everything over and over again.

Increasing Codegen units (multi unit compilation) is just the user taking a risk that splitting things up will not affect performance optimisations. Nothing smart about it.

If you had tiny compilation units and the frontend understood their significance to the backend then it would be able to build a graph of dirty code to be recompiled when a small piece of it changes.

Interestingly, the most recent comment on that post is from 2023 but when I tried to make a comment just now I got an error saying "Something is wrong with the spinner".

According the the article the spinner is a hidden field that consists of an MD5 hash of The timestamp, The client’s IP address, The entry id of the blog entry being commented on, and
A secret. This makes me wonder how a hash of the timestamp is verified? Does it generate MD5 hashes of the last hour or so of timestamps and authorise the post when one of them matches? How else would it know the exact timestamp used to generate the form submission?
second that. also another point: I write most Go code using only the stdlib, so there is no dependency web to take care on top of the actual code.
