Edit: Also my graphs don't seem to match yours. Did you account for the fact that US/Eastern is -0500 part of the year? I show a spike at what would be 7 am Eastern for both author dates https://imgur.com/a/QcJy16h and commit dates https://imgur.com/a/oMsbNOh and essentially no work being done after noon.
The tooling back then was so good for windows desktop though. Before the recent mess. It enabled a lot of really nice apps. Good example of what great dev support can do for a platform.
>young people need lessons on expectations in relationships.

Yes, but we also need better lessons on who/what to be. What are our responsibilities to our partner? As a 30y.o. male, I largely got a message about being myself and that women wanted sensitive men in touch with emotions. After a decade and a half of trial-and-error, and observing those around me, women absolutely respond to physical fitness, social status, career success and stoicism. Obviously everyone has different desires, but those four are really strong themes that you ignore only if you plan to limit your choices to a minority of the female population.

I wish someone had sat me down and really got it across like "Your role as a man is to be strong and dependable. Find a different outlet for your emotions than verbally expressing them. Pursue your interests to be a whole person, but remember that you will be valued as a man based on your ability to protect and provide. Ignore any advice or claims contrary to this, even if it comes directly from women."
I hope it's detailed. Curious to see how I turn out in it.
Yes, great article and actually an astonishingly low amount of awkward-dad bragging by this particular author’s standards —- the closest he got was slipping in how he was ALSO at the Institute for Advanced Study “in Princeton” when Otto Neugebauer was there in the 1980s. And he probably considers himself a peer of Isaac Newton but hey, don’t we all from time to time?

Maybe he’s been reading the HN discussions of his articles and decided to tone down the boasting. One can hope.
awkward, but heard very recently that open source is not "vc backable, go away". maybe it will change now, after the infrastructure pillars of the modern world ruins in front of those many saas/ai/web3/cloud/whatever investors
Neat.

The blueish white leds that has become default because of a slightly more efficient light output is also worse for glare, eye adjusting, and light pollution. Warmer tone leds are just a small bit less efficient and slightly less inexpensive so the much worse blueish tone is default.
Here's a more recent example of a popular song on the theme of love and marriage from the UK.

From a band that focuses on the poetry and word play and who now draw in collaborators from about the globe and routinely pack venues.

The music is minimal but from song to song constantly inventivelt simplistic.

> Sweden has no language, income, employment, or skills requirement for obtaining citizenship.

Neither does the US. Like the US, it has a requirement of having lived in the country with residency for 5 years. In the US those 5 years are after getting a Green Card (permanent residency), not after getting the original dual intent visa that allowed for the Green Card.

The Swedish residence requirements seem par for the course[1], if more straightforward than for the US.

Yes, that’s a good example of what I’m talking about. Even when they tried to subvert a cryptographic primitive, notice how they designed it in such a way that they could exploit it but other parties could not? Even making the attempt was unacceptable but I will say it’s categorically different than leaving an open source vulnerability unpatched. If they weren’t the ones who created it, they wouldn’t have noticed but not reported it – even our closest allies aren’t trusted with root on government servers.
Yes, this was the root of the miscommunication. The AoA indicator (ie. an instrument that gives a numeric value of AoA to the pilots) was optional. The AoA disagree alert (ie. an indication that the two AoA sensors do not agree) was not intended to be optional, and I believe it's required equipment, but it ended up tied to the indicator option. What is worth noting about this is that Boeing knew about it for a long time (I forget the timeline, but at least a year, I believe), without telling airlines or releasing a fix.

I'm not sure where the NYT information comes form that AOA DISAGREE was an option. The congressional report https://democrats-transportation.house.gov/imo/media/doc/202... is pretty clear on this aspect:

> Boeing has publicly blamed its software supplier, a company now known as Collins Aerospace Systems, for tying the AOA Disagree alert, which was supposed to be a standard feature on all 737 MAX aircraft, to an optional AOA Indicator display714—the result of which rendered the AOA Disagree alert inoperable on more than 80 percent of the MAX aircraft.
Vintage X-in-1 kits. Particularly the 300-in-1 kit had a breadboard and a bunch of logic chips. 500-in-1 similar but even has a microprocessor.
I could be wrong, as I haven't used Mamba, but it seems to remain similar to transformers in that it doesn't "decide" anything and streams tokens to follow the existing ones; attention isn't a thing in the same way, but recency does still have impact. To that end, putting context after the question makes it more likely to follow the context, not the question.

Gardens suck. It's easily the worst part about the Web, New or Olde. Worse than UI dark patterns. Worse than user tracking. It's no contest.

Stop "updating" content destructively. Nobody raids my bookshelf when an author or publisher decides to put out a new edition of their best-selling work.

Stop lying about the identity of your resources. Previously:

> I wish SE followed closer to the print tradition instead of the modern Web millieu and clearly identified its microeditions as exactly that: distinct editions of the same text. (Yes, that means there are possibly dozens [or hundreds—maybe even thousands] of different editions [...] No, that's not a problem.)

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38835224>

(Assigning the same identifier to multiple resources is a problem.)
You need to accept that everything has a tradeoff and some amount of drama just seems to be built into the system.

Take sex work, for example. Legalizing it leads to an overall increase in sex trafficking. But it also does this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/17/when-...

My personal opinion is that if something is going to find a way to conduct itself in secret anyway (at high risk and cost) if it is banned, it is always better to just suck it up and permit it and regulate it in the open instead. Trafficked people are far easier to discover in an open market than a black one. Effects of anything (both positive and negative) are far easier to assess when the thing being assessed is legal.

Should we ban cash because it incentivizes mugging and pickpocketing and theft? (I've been the victim of pickpocketing. The most valuable thing they took was an irreplaceable military ID I carried (I was long since inactive)... Not the $25 in cash in my wallet at the time.) I mean, there would literally be far fewer muggings if no one carried cash. Is it thus the cash's "fault"?

Yes it's a primitive form of gate array.

The thing is gate arrays are sort of something between a full custom part and an FPGA, they cost less per chip than a gate array, but more per chip than full custom. On the other hand NRE (up front 1 time cost)) is a lot lower than for full custom (I've built both).

These parts are mil-spec which means that their volumes will be lower, it may have made sense to build a mil-spec pad ring then spin out a range of low volume mil-spec 7400 parts from it

“Western Holidays”, as if that is a coherent, cross-nationally consistent set.

Other than the fact that you specific suggestion of it being American makes little sense based in this sibce its not accurate construed as American holidays, this phrasing is bizarre in this context.

I can see why you thought that but that's not what I meant. I should get my water from the local council, it should be branded as Sussex water or whatever. They can use private companies to do the work required to deliver and bill, or they can do it in-house, I don't care. Same as how the govt uses private contractors for doing road building and maintenance. It being a public service does not mean there's no place for private companies in there.

Dictatorship is very good at combating crime if it's under good hands (which itself is a tall order imo), just look at Singapore, the problem with dictatorship is the lack of accountability and 99% of dictators simply suck at governing hence democracy is usually better since most dictators have a severe case of Dunning–Kruger effect. People like Bukele and Lee Kuan Yew are very few and far between.

I wish they would make long option names for everything, including -C and -M. (Perhaps I should contribute that..)

I use short options interactively on the command line, but in scripts and when communicating with other people, I prefer longer options because they are self-documenting and can catch most typos. (For a long option, typos are more likely to result in an invalid option, and thus an error message. For one-letter options, a typo could result in anything..)
I've tried to hire artists from Upwork. Anecdotally the experience sucked. I made it clear it's for sprite sheet game assets, but it quickly got flooded by applicants who clearly never have never drawn sprite sheets.

Event worse, about 15% of portfolios had stolen artwork. (I've been around for long enough to spot obvious stolen art, but I'm not a human google image search so the real rate might be much higher than 15%)

I ended up contacting an artist that I found on itch.io directly.

Cut to the “conclusion”:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8756354/

Of the total 6847 SCD cases we reviewed, death occurred during or within 1 hour after sexual intercourse in 17 (0.2%). The mean (SD) age at death was 38 (18) years, and most of the decedents (11 of 17 [65%]) were male individuals. One individual had a premorbid diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse, which was attributed as the cause of death, and 1 individual was diagnosed with hypertension and died of aortic dissection. In 2 individuals, extensive cardiac investigations did not lead to a definite diagnosis of cardiac disease

Anecdotally: a neighbor of ours died “in combat” with a lover. I imagine that his wife inherited the business. I tutored his son in chemistry so he could pass the board exam for undertaker. Yes, his dad was an undertaker. I can’t attest to the old saying “It took the undertaker a week to wipe the smile” … Oh never mind …

Just to say that it’s a small world.

If I read this right, most “participants” did not have heart disease, so that would appear to make the case for vigorous exercise outside the bedsheets.

I don't think that's a threat model that OpenSSH should waste too much time on. Ultimately this is malicious code in the build machine compiling a critical system library. That's not reasonable to defend against.

Keep in mind that upstream didn't even link to liblzma. Debian patched it to do so. OpenSSH should defend against that too?
Presumably this intelligence agency have multiple such initiatives and can afford to burn one to achieve a goal.
the bad actor was a co-maintainer of the repo (and even more active than the original maintainer for quite some time) with full commit rights. This was strait committed to master, no PR and no review required.

1. Such data structures (or more generally, std::vector<std::string, std::vector<std::string>> or something like that) are the natural way to represent e.g. dictionaries. So, you absolutely often need to do that and "don't do that" doesn't help here.

2. This general issue extends to virtually all collections. The idea that you should avoid large collections is not a practical solution to real world problems.

3. An alternative solution would be lazy destruction, but that comes with its own issues, such as a really bad worst-case memory overhead or making RC sufficiently more complex that it's not really a win over tracing GC anymore [1].

> wages are lower

That may be true, but houses aren't that expensive. If you're, say, Austin Matthews making $13MM per year in Toronto, you can still buy a lot of houses. That capacity is not diminished by some tech mogul in SF making $130MM per year.

The question is, as always, will something better come along? Indeed, housing is the purchase of last resort. Give people something better to buy and they will! People in Canada especially are happy to buy real estate like mad at this juncture because, frankly, what else is there to buy? Canada doesn't offer much else. You're not going to work to make $13MM just to hold an IOU forevermore. People making $13MM want to collect on what they've created and have something to show for it.

The US housing market crashed back in 2006 because tech started showing promise ("Web 2.0", mobile shortly thereafter) and the money left housing to buy into the newfangled tech. It's not clear what Canada's equivalent will be. Granted, it's banking heavily on skilled immigrants to come up with something, so there is possibility of yield. Time will tell.

I haven't used Ditto so I don't know how closely macOS clipboard managers compare to it, but there's certainly a fair number of programs for the Mac out there that sound similar to Ditto's own description, from the free, open source Maccy to the somewhat over-the-top $13 Pastebot. There are other utility programs that include similar functionality; personally, I'm using Alfred, a keyboard-driven launcher, which also includes a pretty good clipboard manager (and is the sort of app that I'd be looking for copycats for on Linux if I ever made the switch back!).

That study is about individual trees not a mature forest. “nature of productivity at the scale of the individual tree”

As the average tree in a forest keeps getting older you keep sequestering carbon and older trees are sequestering faster than young ones. The issue is eventually you reach an equilibrium point where the average age becomes a constant because trees have a finite lifespan.

Globally most forests were cut down relatively decently so they haven’t reached equilibrium. But when you start talking the next 100+ years it does become an issue.

The word "prodigal" does indeed primarily mean spending money or resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant. However, it can also be used more broadly to describe someone who is lavishly generous; giving profusely or excessively. The term originates from the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, where "prodigal" refers to the wayward son's lavish and wasteful spending.

Over time, the nuances of the word "prodigal" have expanded, and it can now be used in a variety of contexts to describe any sort of excessive or wasteful behavior, not just financial. Additionally, it can sometimes be used in a positive light, emphasizing generosity and abundance rather than waste.
