With current progress I don't see humanity surviving even another 500 yrs, honestly.
The main intelligent race at that point is likely going to be something like a symbiont/cyborg that's part machine. At least nothing it'd consider human.

Millions of years is a long period of time. Humanity has only existed for roughly 200-300k. That's less then 1% of the projected time period here.
Not much a survey, but in the past I've tried recoll (xapian wrapper, CLI and GUI, very simple to setup) only to realize that for my needs and the way I take notes (described in this page, another comment) I do not need full-text search except for emails (that are handled by notmuch, locally so indexed by xapian anyway).

I've tried for the web part archivy (pythonic web-app) and zotero, but they do not works like I want so I've dropped them and so far I've just pdf-render contents if I really want to save it beside a link/archive.ph and co.
During COVID, I realized how ridiculous the great toilet paper panic run as, and just bought a $30 bidet attachment instead.
Abstractions should really make it easier than what's described in the article. There's no reason that in 2024, after almost fifty+ years of computer science, we still have articles saying "hey, here's a common pitfall that will throw no errors or warnings at you, but will deadlock non-deterministically one time out of one billion".
Here's a $25 bidet [1] that I use that's compatible with most toilets. I guess a landlord could install a bidet in their apartment's toilets but I fail to see how this is a class issue.

There is an implementation of SQL that operates on a table shaped type, entirely at type level. For your amusement: https://github.com/codemix/ts-sql

There are a bunch of more practical takes that codegen types from your database and generate types for your queries, eg: https://github.com/adelsz/pgtyped

To me the second approach seems much more pragmatic because you don’t need to run a SQL parser in your typechecker interpreter on every build

America is very backwards and hilariously underdeveloped in some areas especially in day to day life. The fact that the parent comment calls toilet paper "sandpaper" is another example.
This doesn't seem to mention the overhead that ARM64EC imposes on indirect calls. Indirect calls are required by the ARM64EC ABI to use a CFG-like check against the architecture bitmap, adding overhead to both function pointers and virtual calls:
https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/8aT793GMf

This is explained in the docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec-abi

> Call checkers are optional on all other Windows ABIs, but mandatory on Arm64EC. On Arm64EC, call checkers accumulate the task of verifying the architecture of the function being called. They verify whether the call is another EC (“Emulation Compatible”) function or an x64 function that must be executed under emulation. In many cases, this can only be verified at runtime.
$5 million for a house? I haven't looked recently but for most parts in the US, that sounds like outside of normal range. I know for a fact that our house is not worth $5 million.

Sometimes it makes sense to reduce to Unicode confusables.

For example the Greek letter Big Alpha looks like uppercase A. Or some characters look very similar like the slash and the fraction slash. Yes, Unicode has separate scalar values for them.

There are Open Source tools to handle confusables.

This is in addition to the search specified by Unicode.

Developing countries like France, where the word bidet comes from? (although to be fair my generation didn't use them, until recently when the Japanese-style bidet started picking up)

The other 2 countries I know of where bidets are widely common are the ultra-modern Korea and Japan.
You can buy an inexpensive wand attachment on Amazon for like $30.
Stating obvious fact is not misogyny, just because you don't like it.

90% percent of men that have dating experience outside the Bay Area will attest to the stark difference in women's behavior, and it's definitely not a good difference.

It is simple human psychology that we grow more entitled the more desirable we are. This is why balanced gender ratios are important.

You can't just call people's shared experience "misogyny." Pointing out commonly and repeatedly observed behavior differences is not that.
That theme song is just something else.

Japanese-style washlets are pretty uncommon outside of Japan generally. It's not an America thing. It does cost a fair bit of money to do an install (plumbing/electricity) if you're not having a major bathroom renovation anyway, given the average American hasn't been to Japan they're mostly not familiar with the concept, and just general reluctance to talk or think too much about toilet design.

I have one so I'm not talking about myself. But it seems to have long not to made it onto US radars as something you should have even in a high-end bathroom.
To be clear, the issue we are talking about here does not exist for the CC0 license TinySSH is using. CC0 lacks a termination clause, it wouldn't make sense for it to have one. It only exists for other CC licenses, like the (earlier versions of) CC-BY(-NC/-SA).

CC0 has other issues – some people (e.g. Red Hat Legal) are concerned about its language explicitly excluding patent and trademark rights, and think that is legally inferior to other public domain declarations (such as The Unlicense) which don't mention that topic at all.

In a declaration/license in which patents and trademarks go unmentioned, if the original author sues you on those grounds, you can try to argue that by releasing the software they gave you an implied patent/trademark license – that argument may or may not win in Court, but at least it has a chance. With language in the declaration/license explicitly excluding patents and trademarks (like CC0 has), that argument is likely dead-on-arrival.
That's not true. It is widely used in developed countries in western Europe and Asia.
> Can you spot any difference between “blöb” and “blöb”?

It's tricky to try to determine this because normalization can end up getting applied unexpectedly (for instance, on Mac, Firefox appears to normalize copied text as NFC while Chrome does not), but by downloading the page with cURL and checking the raw bytes I can confirm that there is no difference between those two words :) Something in the author's editing or publishing pipeline is applying normalization and not giving her the end result that she was going for.

Yes, they employed security terminology for something that was instead data pipeline contamination. As the saying goes, garbage in: garbage out. I don't mean to be harsh on them though: experimentation is useful, and it became a great lesson on red teaming models.
You need $5 million to afford a $1-2 million house if you want to have any money left over for retirement and emergency medical expenses in the US which can easily bankrupt you. That's not including emergency fund for famine or war given the direction the country is going to go with either of the current 2 president choices. If you had $5 million you wouldn't be smart to blow it all on a $5 million house, either.

Houses cost $1-2 million in any city that actually has jobs. Yeah, you can get a shack in Kansas for $200k but good luck finding work there.

Nothing wrong with renting, it's not gonna come with a bidet though.
Every Super Mario Maker Level Has Been Cleared Before Wii U's Online Shutdown
Wasn’t that always the case? There may have been a small post world war 2 blip where the distribution was slightly flatter in the United States. But in the past that may have been worse (as in a few kings and nobles owning most of the wealth).

Executive compensation is an issue. And it is regularly brought up when unions are mentioned. But I doubt cutting executive compensation even by 75% would result in the amount of money to satisfy union demands on healthcare, job security and retirement.

Your problem is the stock market punishes companies that don’t have cash flow. Union demands ebb that cash flow and no amount of executive compensation reduction will make up for it. Keep in mind I’m specifically talking executives, not founders. Founders own shares in their companies and that cannot be considered compensation.
> It’s better to use 0BSD or MIT-0 instead, which grant permission to use the software without weird exceptions.

0BSD and MIT-0 are zero attribution ultra-permissive copyright licenses, aka public domain-equivalent copyright licenses.

CC0 is a public domain declaration with a fallback copyright license for jurisdictions (such as Germany) which don't recognise public domain declarations.

There is a big technical difference between the two, in some jurisdictions (such as the US) – CC0 puts something in the public domain, MIT-0/0BSD technically doesn't. A real difference in theory, maybe not much in practice.

If the author really cares about the public domain part, something like Unlicense is a better option than MIT-0/0BSD – an actual public domain dedication, without the patent/trademarkconcerns which exist regarding CC-0.

If they want to make the maximum possible number of people happy, they could even use disjunctive licensing, e.g. CC-0 OR Unlicense OR MIT-0

Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps with BCH Using One-Time Verifiably Encrypted Signatures
It wasn't really an answer so much as a feeling. I don't know why they'd get more greedy now in the 2020s. I've seen enough breadcrumbs otherwise that I could believe they are.

If you want my blind guess, the focus on satisfying shareholders simply intensified for the past 15 years or so, accelerated by tech and the need to incorporate it in all industries. That + low interest rates lead to a gold mine for corporate and a shift away from worrying about keeping a war chest as opposed to showing YoY growth. A shift way from retraining talent as opposed to figuring out how to save every penny on labor (the most expensive aspect in the US), regardless of employee satisfaction. There's more supply than ever so why fight for the best? You don't need the best if you lean on tech.

But that's just my L theory loosely based on experience and a variety of reading I did over the years.
Since we're here: Anyone else dealing with the stupid thing where your organization won't let you have your generating token thing and instead force you into e.g. Duo?

So what are the alternatives? Based on current information it seems that there are no domestic product in China that are comparable to these mainstream CPUs.
This will boost more CPU designed and produced in China and probably will be good for consumers in general. I noted there're Longsoon MIPS based, many ARM vendors from china and I remember there's also an AMD based x86 cpu.

More players more competition, pick your poison.
I don’t think that unions or union members are above that. I think it’s funny that they are consistently portrayed that way in the media.
The real-life reasons I've heard people decry bidets are absolutely bonkers. Reasons ranging from "why would I want a wet butt" to genuine beliefs that using a bidet was a manifestation of homosexuality. It's wild how insecure some people are in this country, and how unwilling they are to Even try something like a bidet.

The wetness is literally solved by a single square of tp post-cleaning. Attachments are available that can be installed on any toilet, so the "I'm a renter" excuse doesn't hold water either. Not even going to address the sexuality concerns-- I honestly think anyone who believes that shouldn't be welcome on HN.

Being an American who never used a bidet until my 30s, but having now tried it out, it really does seem barbaric wiping your ass with toilet paper after experiencing the advancements of civilization.

That said, water isn't always effective at cleansing for all people, in every situation. Sometimes you do need the ability to apply a little more force than what a jet of water can do without causing discomfort. We probably need a product that complements the bidet approach but still allows you to dig in there with some targeted and managed pressure when you need to.
In Europe, yes.

In the USA, not at all. I've only ever seen them in rich peoples' homes that they purchased. I have not once seen a rental property in the US with a bidet.
Peer review goes beyond simple issues about clarity or misunderstanding. In particular, peer review is sometimes seen as an adversarial process.

Often, the reviewer will not understand because he is not the intended audience. Other times, he will understand but he just doesn't like your method, because he is working in an opposite direction. Or maybe your method is a direct competitor of his and yours work better, which incentivizes some people to block your work.
Complete nonsense. _All_ houses in Italy, even the most humble ones, have a bidet.

It is required by law.

I imagine toilet paper may have been traditionally more practical in colder climates.
I don’t like fancy seats on my loo and prefer a standalone bidet.

I loathe having to poo in public toilets. Where available, I’ll buy pre-moistened, disposable towels. If unavailable, I’ll use the sink as a bidet and either wet towels or use my hand, if there’s privacy. Better than walking around feeling disgusting.

I also suggest anal shaving.

That seems quite hyperbolic. It's not as though you can't buy or find a bidet in the US...
The tactic they did was really cheap. Infact it probably needed little to no cash upfront.

What they did was use typical prepaid debit cards and used that as a 'bank'. Then later when they got traction actually made it a bank.

The prepaid debit cards were cheap each such that it didn't need alot of funds, but the issuer took all the profits from it and charged for each card.

The cards were prepaid cards but no one really card or noticed the difference and they got tens of thousands of people on them, then raised more funds for the onerous capital requirements of a bank.
The US has a sadistic obsession with making bathrooms as punitive as possible.

Go around all 50 states. The worst retail bathrooms to the most wealthy corporate offices in the newest construction.

Every where you look:

1. Bathroom stalls with 3" gaps in the hinges so everyone can watch you pee and poop and wipe yourself.

2. If you're a man, consider yourself lucky to have a waist high divider between urinals.

You want a fancy gun that shoots water into your ass? Not going to fly here.

much this is focused on how the author thinks men (not women) should sort through a set (large one) of potential female mates.

Do developers really build basic websites / pages WITHOUT pure CSS when it's an option?

I know there are times when you need to do something CSS can't (and shouldn't do of course. But I mean when the 'thing' is design/style only, aren't we all already using only CSS for those things? Or am I just so old I still practice the separation of concerns and no one else is.

Also, while kudos to the OP for doing this, this is exactly a time when using CSS to do this is incorrect and using vanilla Javascript IS the right decision, as this is a behavior and not a style issue.

NB4: Yes I do code sloppy when time dictates, but I still seperate my HTML, CSS, and JS as the norm, not the exception.
From the article: "The most popular type of bidet in the US, Lin said, is a non-electric attachment that only sprays cold water".
As a dude in a happy relationship I would absolutely give the same recommendation to any guy my old professor did here. He is merely making a statement about average behavior, not all behavior.

It is just not worth sifting through the sand to find the "normally" behaving women here. It is so much easier to date in literally any other city that it's not even funny.

I don't think hygiene is necessarily associated to country development. E.g. people in South America tend to shower more often than people in some parts of Europe [1].

In general there are two ways for companies to make money. 1) They make something that otherwise wouldn't have been made, or make it more efficiently than the competition and then capture volume with lower prices. 2) Rent seeking; they extract higher profits from the same activity, e.g. by buying their competitors and raising prices.

Traders do the work of finding the companies that can do one of these things and allocating resources to them so they can do them. When it's the first one, the societal gains are quite significant. When it's the second one, well, there are supposed to be laws against that and if it's happening then we need better laws or better enforcement.
Loved this game as a kid. I played the traditional way, but I also had a lot of fun sending the coaster down a steep drop and up short ramp to nowhere so it would go airborne across the park.
Have you met Americans? We are addicted to comfort. You will certainly get cleaner using a bidet but a jet a cold water spraying your rear end seems like it would be quite uncomfortable. Caveat, like most Americans I have not tried it.
I wrote such a library for Python here: https://github.com/wanderingstan/Confusables

You don't need warm water / electricity - you get completely used to the water temp after using a week or so. The bidets on Amazon (pretty cheap) work just fine and install onto most toilets in 10 minutes. Super easy and affordable.
Because I'm making public domain books available within the app (from Project Gutenburg), I have to limit the territories it is launched in, as some countries may have copyright limitations.

I will expand the app into more countries once I'm happy none of the books have copyright restrictions there. Feel free to message me with the country you reside in and I'll take a look soon.
The opinion of one of the most prominent political scientists in the US, John Mearsheimer, is that this conflict has in the making for many years, because of the continuous expansion of NATO towards east and provocative actions of the US.

This premise is important because understanding the causes, or motives, of the war is central in thinking about possible resolutions. If the cause of the war is Putin's crazy wickedness and its goal is the extermination of Ukrainians, there is no peace possible. If the cause of the war is an actual problem of politics, resources, national cohesion, alliances, you name it- then something can be agreed upon that stops the conflict now, saves the lives of hundreds of thousands on both sides, and buys a few more years. It will not be a just solution but it can be an acceptable one. And works the other way around too: if you don't want the conflict to stop, for whatever reason, you will tell people that no agreement is possible because the end goal of the other side is total extermination.
If you're on the fence about using one due to the expense/lack of hot water option, I'd recommend trying one of the cheap ($30-50) inline cold water bidets with customizable pressure. People have a misconception that the cold water is shocking or uncomfortable, but in my experience it's actually quite soothing, and you can modify the pressure down to just a trickle to reduce that cold feeling.

I've gotten so used to it that I find myself reaching for it when I'm out in the world, even installing them in (willing) friends houses! It really does feel barbaric to use TP alone nowadays.
