Aren't you advocating breaking scripts that reference executables in /sbin or /usr/sbin? sbins that could be invoked by users cannot just move to /bin, if scripts expect them to be in /sbin.

It looks like Fedora has decided that the sbin distinction is historic fluff. There is no need to put a program in a separate directory just because it makes system calls that require root and therefore fail for a regular user.

The article makes it clear that before this change, there is already no /bin directory, but rather /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin and /sbin is a symlink to /usr/sbin. I.e. they already decided that the the shortened /bin and /sbin paths are historic fluff; everything will be in /usr.

The symlinks are needed for compatibility. You know, like #!/bin/sh and whatnot.

Now they are getting rid of /usr/sbin. So that becomes a symlink to bin (I'm assuming relative, I.e. /usr/sbin -> bin).

Thus, all combinations of {/usr}?/{bin|sbin}/<program> become equivalent, and only /usr/bin is a real directory where all the system binaries live.

Finally. The bin/sbin split was originally done as a hack for someone's weird setup, but it doesn't make sense for MOST Linux setups today (and if you respond with "I use this feature" then you're just falling for perception bias, for your elucidation).
Haha, this is awesome. There's a lot of wisdom about how people vandalize Wikipedia in here.

I was really curious about 339, "Claims of sexual orientation or gender in a BLP". I believe BLP means "Biography/Living Person" which is an important category since Wikipedia needs to pay special attention to not put anything in those articles that may be defamatory in some way, or even just inaccurate. But I was sitting there thinking, huh, why 144,000 hits? That seems like way too much.

Of course, that's because 99% of the triggered edits appear to be "[...] is gay". Yep, that checks out.
The point of the attack wasn't to hurt people, or even scare them. I'm glad Israelis are not reacting this with panic, but you've got to realize that the game has changed.

What if they would have sent in 3,000 drones. Each one flying so low that detecting it would be impossible, or even if it were possible, sending a missile from the Iron dome would be exploding a bomb near the ground in a city.

What if they had anthrax or dirty bombs.

Iran's response was almost statesmanlike in its restraint. Once their embassy was attacked, they had to do something. What they did was to serve notice that drones have changed warfare forever.

Why are you making this distinction between composition and interfaces? Just because you're using interfaces does not mean you aren't doing composition.

> Interfaces (via aspects, aspects, traits, whatever) tend to simplify, when the complexity is quantitatively extensive enough to outweigh the cost of the interface complexity creation + the complexity saved by using the interface.

That sentence is more complicated than anything that has been done with composition.
I moved from the north east corner of the US to the south west corner. That threw me off. It used to be "everything in the US is to the south-west of me", whereas now it's "everything in the US is to the north-east".

I lived on the Wasatch Front for a while, and mountains always ran north-south on your East. Now I work on the Front Range, and mountains run north-south on your West.

Chess is super old but reason it's fun is because of the rating system that matches equal-ish players against each other. I'm guessing these games don't have that, I thought Starcraft had something like that but it's been a while since I played it.
The only true solution to this is seldom mentioned: Real life. "Word of mouth" can still happen (and should happen) by reals words, uttered in the physical world, by real mouths, in the physical world.

I suspect many of our current societal ills are caused by too much information spreading too quickly, not forced to go through a multitude of brains or stand the tests of time.
"crashing" could also mean a panic! caused by the runtime ensuring you have at most one mutable reference to an object.

I really love the spirit of AirGradient and their products.

However they are shooting themselves in the marketing foot by not doing free datastorage for life for their users and therefore competing with PurpleAir which is the closed premium they are competing against.

Google has chosen PurpleAir for their map overlay for air quality, it shouldn't be that exclusive but the reason why is the sheer number of installs.

compare for your area:

https://map.purpleair.com/

vs the emptiness of

https://map.airgradient.com/

I keep telling them they need to just GIVE FOR FREE their units to all public universities in the United States with free data for life reporting, it will change their entire company's presence in the USA and maybe even make Google add them.

Right now many universities, firehouses, stadiums, etc. etc. use WeatherStem for local weather recording/reporting. You know what WeatherStem does NOT have? Air Quality recording/reporting. Imagine if AirGradient gave their units to all the major WeatherStem sites that already have power and internet setup.

look at the pulldown for the WeatherStem open-source data export and imagine AirGradient added for air quality to ALL those hundreds of universities

Very interesting. I just finished my EMT and starting OEC for ski patrol Monday. And interviews for volunteer EMT early may. Even though my grandfather was a firefighter but died early. I'm more interested in EMT. My dad did the climbing out of poverty but also died early so I don't know what he would have done "of service", maybe just left it to my mom who was a court child advocate.

So far just the ride alongs (you can help a little) at fire, EMT, ski patrol have been great. And the training as well. Much more interesting and fulfilling than just vegging out on Netflix after a week in tech.
I think there is way too much scope for bad actors in this. The employer holds all of the information and all of the cards.

I was a tier 1 significant common shareholder in my own company and saw a bunch of shenanigans. The rank and file employee with 0.00X% stock options subject to weird rules and tax doesn’t stand a chance.

From the employees perspective, have to find a massive outlier in terms of company success and then hope to not get screwed or be diluted to hell. Lottery ticket odds are the right ballpark.

Credit to Walmart for creating an environment where a person can still love their job after years of service.

That stuff can't be faked, even with a high salary. Before you say, "it's easy to say when you're getting paid $240K a year." Nah. A person needs challenge; a purpose. Lots of FANG ICs making $500K+ who hate their job. Why? No challenge or palpable purpose.

To create a scaled corp structure where a person can ascend from the bottom is also tough to do.
If salaries are based on effort and not on what *relative* value they produce, people can just move rocks up and down a hill all day and become billionaires.
Pay isn’t really based on how “hard” a job is (and I don’t think we would want it to be!)

It does factor in to the demand side but clearly it’s not the primary factor or else there wouldn’t be any high-paying “easy” jobs.
I’ve run into both. I sit between a research organization and a production organization and have to produce artifacts on both sides, this suits me quite well because I’m very much an applied research person. If it’s not feasible or tangible then it tends not to interest me much.

Doing applied research and working with people who want to do that tends to work reasonably well with production, because the point is to research techniques and algorithms and so forth that help improve production. Theoretical or more future-focused research tends to need to focus on building minimal scaffolding to be able to test ideas, when that kind of scaffolding gets integrated into production software, that’s where the problems arise, because by necessity it’s a kind of MVP. I am right now working on rearchitecting a component that was built this way and labeled as production without going through hardening first (though it did go through a great deal of testing it didn’t get the code review it needed).

In the end I suppose my point is that research and production aren’t inherently at odds, or even orthogonal. Applied research can be valuable to improving production software by studying current stable code and processes and researching improvements, but trying to do blue-sky research by incorporating code into production can be orthogonal or in some cases truly at odds with stability. It matters a great deal who is doing it, and how it’s managed.
I was working with a non-profit that taught people around the world how to teach tech skills in their local communities. There was a shift to focusing on recent political events which was a major reason for my leaving. My take was if you personally want to do that, go for it. However, reacting to recent political events was not part of the group's mission. I wanted to spend my limited time on the group's primary mission of education.
I have had exactly this on a 70mph 2 lane road in Britain known as a dual-carriageway. I will phrase this carefully because we drive on the left, so the overtaking lane is on the right.

I was following a 'Luton van' (Which is like a small truck body on a normal 3.5tonne class long wheel base van chassis, you might call it a small box truck in the US). Incidentally Luton Vans are not allowed to go 70mph on a dual carriageway, they are limited to 60. I couldn't see past at all due to his wide body, so I was following at a safe distance and matching his speed at 70mph. Suddenly he swerved into the overtaking lane and I was met by a queue of stationary traffic! I knew this road well and stationary traffic would not normally be backed up this far. I braked very hard and felt the ABS rattle. I had just enough time to realise that there was a narrow gravel shoulder on this section I could turn into if needed, but the car grabbed just in time to not need that option. It was one of the scariest things to happen to me on a road. If I had been tailgating the truck I would not have had nearly enough time to stop and it would have caused a really nasty accident as I would have hit a stationary car into a line of stationary cars. I don't see how lidar, radar or cameras could have helped much, except to have reduced the reaction time slightly perhaps? It probably would not have been able to judge that the shoulder was a good alternative option.

I play chess at a nearby place and they just split people into self selected newbie/intermediate/advanced groups. There is just no limit to how much time you can spend training in chess is the thing, applied to most games really. I used to be more into it during the pandemic but now I just play casually without practicing everyday, which is fun enough for me.
And it seems a little wrong as developers gain the ability to use the way more capable spatial memory with time (the same as for memory palaces).

So yeah, in practice, I agree to keep classes small, but not for the short term memory problem.
No, I do think this is still an example of disordered expectations. What you're pointing out doesn't strike that notion as valid; it expands it from "an expectation of a response to an entirely different question, " to, "an expectation that you will pretend to be and behave as a neurotypical person to suit my comfort even though I know that you're not."

Which is probably worse.

As the other reply mentioned, there is an empathy (double empathy) problem, but the answer is not for one party to have to assume responsibility for the other's comfort entirely by having to guess all of their unspoken emotional desires for the conversation. "The query explicitly didn't include [...]" is kind of a ridiculous thing to expect someone to respect or even predict.

Also, I don't mean to pick apart your comment, but:

>Neurotypical communication 101 is that a casual conversation question about your favourite things is probably a cue for you to be enthusiastic and effusive about things you care about rather than a prompt for you provide names only

I don't know that this is true. If anything, doing this seems to get on their nerves.
Show HN: I built an instant flash card generator
I took up the course `Learning How to Learn` while I was in college and found the concept of spaced repetition very useful in my day-to-day life.

I have been using Anki for spaced repetition for a while but I found the process of creating flash cards a huge friction point.

So I figured this is probably a good use case for GPT to solve, find good questions and answers for a topic and generate flash cards.

Tried to make it simple

1. No signup/login for its core functionality of generating flash cards
2. Immediately downloadable
3. Simple to use and integration with Anki
I would encourage you to be ambitious, in the ways that count. (Not necessarily just financial)

>Yes, but I wasn't asking about whether the raise is 30%. If you have a 12% raise during 30% inflation then you can buy 18% less, for example.

If you're supposed to be getting raises anyway, how much of your raise is due to inflation and how much is due to advancement? I am making more money than I did before the pandemic but that was almost 4 years of grinding to reach that point. All indications I've seen point to people's wages not keeping up with inflation. Wages always lag behind other prices, and usually by a lot.

>It wouldn't have to be a profit for my point to work.

Your point was precisely that "gains" in the stock market make up for other downsides of inflation. This just doesn't work out. Our economy relies on the value of money remaining stable.

>But have you looked at stocks? The S&P 500 went up not just more than 30%, it went up more than 50%. Stocks did profit. And that's versus the relative peak. Any other baseline in the range of 4 years ago and the increase is even higher, and from 5 years ago it's up 75%.

Sorry but stocks are supposed to profit. In real terms there is probably a slight profit. The rest of the increases are pure devaluation of the dollar. At some point, businesses will likely struggle to remain profitable as everyone tries to cut costs.

>You can't make everyone happy, but I was focusing on the experience of a relatively average person.

I think stable money would actually be the best-case scenario and would make people happier than high inflation.

You have a very distorted idea of what is a "relatively average person"... Most people don't have money in the stock market (which I've already argued is not making up for inflation anyway). Most people don't own houses either. As much as I hate banks, lenders getting screwed due to inflation is terrible for the economy.
It can be learned as well. As a child my old man would randomly ask the same question; which way is the river? I have a pretty good sense of direction.

I've drilled friends of mine with poor sense of direction similarly over the years. The improvement over time can be pretty dramatic. I realize that some of it is natural inclination, but forcing yourself to build mental map habitually is a large part of it. Practice anything enough and you'll improve.
Strengthening Java Obfuscation with Native Code Integration
Even in software engineering it’s “easier” to be higher level (staff, principal) because your output is more fluid, you delegate more, and command more respect. Yet the vast majority of engineers are incapable of reaching those levels because they don’t seem to have the mindset for it. So I’m not sure I agree with this, it seems to just be selection bias.
By the modern definition I'm prone to nostalgia. And I moved a few times during adolescence. Yet I can't imagine it being fatal unless the circumstances were completely outside my control, such as a serving during a war.

Michael Stonebraker has written/talked about this in the context of DBMS research, but to me the same issues are applicable to other fields as well.

In short, the incentives/requirements in academia have changed so that producing working software is no longer feasible. He says he got his PhD with exactly 0 publications, became a professor with 5.

Nowadays, you have to have 5 publications to get your PhD and god knows how many to become professor.

That means 1 paper successfully published per year if you want to get your PhD in 5 years. Doing software is not possible, it is too risky and just takes too long.

There's a lot more, I highly recommend the talk!
My hope/goal is simply to get people off the Internet, rather than improve it. Life wasn't bad pre-web. The Internet provided a lot of utility/benefits, but we've slingshotted to using it way, way beyond the point of those benefits. Some pull back and less engagement online is good.
I expected the third step to be "shortage of FBI agents lead to deteriorated quality of service".

Your "hahahaha those doomers" comments is either intentionally cruel or Pollyannish. Your "people have agency" "criticism" doesn't address the key points of the article:

1. The damage in the form of the destruction of news sources and replacement of writers with AI has happened and continues to happen. Writers are already jobless. News sources are already dead. But sure, these jobless people with no hope for their industry are "doomers". The article doesn't mention artists, but they are also getting hammered.

2. The worst players already have agency over their data choices, they are using that to build silos and destroy their competitors who don't have that ability.

3. Some social places have already become unusable. Twitter for instance. Threads may be able to push back on this, but they are already a dangerous silo.
