> …MacOS already has some foundation features (such as similar command line tools) borrowed from Linux.

This is factually incorrect. MacOS / OS X is derived from BSD. We can argue whether “derive” is the right word or if macOS is rightfully BSD but the commonalities were certainly not borrowed from Linux.

Points:

1) No. macOS is not that type of system. This is what Linux is for.

2) MacOS package management is abysmal comparatively but give some details. Better how? How is Linux package management superior? What technology could be useful?

3) I will let the author handle this: “[the reason] I use Linux is because I can turn any distribution into exactly what I want.”

4) I guess if you like the animation that much but I fail to see how that would improve anything.

5) Probably try SteerMouse

6) MacOS does this but better. The author literally describes Bundles[0].

In CHERI, the `data` pointer in your example is not merely a 64-bit pointer (assuming ARM Morello architecture) but a special 128-bit data structure called a `capability`, which encodes within it the bounds of the memory block allocated to it. The hardware will prevent any out-of-bounds access, even if you manage to bypass any C language type checks, for example, by using inline assembly. So, this offers a pretty strong level of memory protection.

Facebook has shown me ads for both dick pills and breast surgery, for hyper-local events in town in a country I don't live in, and for a lawyer who specialises in renouncing a citizenship I don't have.

At this point, I think paying Facebook to advertise is a waste of money — the actual spam in my junk email folder is better targeted.
> In math you can't often solve a more advanced problem such as Calculus problem without understanding the more foundational math such as algebra, fractions, etc.

Yep, this is the number one reason people think they aren’t suited for math. Everything is built on everything else, and if you missed anything you’re screwed. It takes a while to realise you are screwed, you can get by on rote for a surprising distance.

My representative does not represent me. In fact I’ve never seen a representative from my state that did since I reached voting age like 30 years ago. Every time I write to them about the issues that matter to me I receive obviously canned responses that show that the most their staffers ever read is the first couple of sentences, if that. This whole Congress thing is bullshit to create an illusion of representation while the congresspeople actually cater to their lobbyists and the security state.

Show HN: Cielo – I built an app where you can get dinner with strangers(SF only)
Heya HN! We built an app where you can set preferences for the kinds of people you want to meet and we make dinner reservations for you and 4 other people. doing a soft launch this week and just wanted to show off what we had built ;)

How it works:
sign up with google or apple
answer a few quick questions about yourself.
set your preferences(Industry, Interest, Age, etc)
Click 'Join' for the day you are free.
Show up to dinner and meet your people :)

We are SF only for now! App is freeeeeeeeeee(for a short time)
I learnt HTML purely because I was sick of waiting for Netscape Composer to launch on my 80386 PC back in the mid nineties. It had an 85MB WD HDD and 4MB of ram, running Windows 3.1. Double-clicking on the Netscape Composer icon in Program Manager would cause my hard drive to thrash for a solid 5 minutes, before the screen would update with _some_ resemblance of a Netscape window.

There's gotta be a better way to create web pages -- so I learnt HTML and was using notepad.exe to hand-craft my HTML pages. I would then copy them to disk (usually using ARJ.EXE to compress everything), and then go to school to use their internet connection to upload my pages to Geocities.

For background: we have a storage product for large files (like photos, videos, etc). The storage paths are mapped into your Postgres database so that you can create per-user access rules (using Postgres RLS)

This update adds S3 compatibility, which means that you can use it with thousands of tools that already support the protocol.

I'm also pretty excited about the possibilities for data scientists/engineers. We can do neat things like dump postgres tables in to Storage (parquet) and you can connect DuckDB/Clickhouse directly to them. We have a few ideas that we'll experiment with to make this easy

Let us know if you have any questions - the engineers will also monitor the discussion

There is something especially confidence building about training martial arts, I personally believe it adjusts our fight-flight response, which is also kicking in in social situations.

LLM chat is so compute heavy and not bandwidth heavy that anywhere with reliable fiber and cheap electricity is suitable. Ping is lower than average keystroke delay for most who haven't undergone explicit speed typing training (we're talking 60~120 WPM for between intercontinental to pathological (other end of the world) servers).
Bandwidth matters a bit more for multimodal interaction, but it's still rather minor.
Without AI, I struggle with dyslexia and writing difficulties. With AI, I can contribute good code, with well written requirements spec, test plan, unit tests, documentation, and automation. I spend about ten hours a week working on open source, when before I spent none.

When I see an anti AI take that dismisses the potential and makes unlikely legal handwringing, I realize how much work is left in making open source accessible to those who struggle like I do.

I won't be contributing to Gentoo or any project that rejects AI assisted work. I'll keep working on my own accessibility projects and my own computational geometry codes.

I believe that in the end, accessibly focused projects will win the day here. AI assisted open source will become the norm, because it lowers the access barriers to good code.

> these kind of "calculus made easy" pamphlets

The link is not a pamphlet (unless you read only the linked HTML page). It is an entire book, published in 1910 by Silvanus P. Thompson, and sufficiently well-regarded that it was re-edited in 1998 by Martin Gardner, and (independently) lovingly re-typeset in TeX by volunteers (and also turned into this website). Clearly it serves a need, and is not merely a “trite” pamphlet.

(The edition by Gardner is actually recommended against by some, who see in it a clash of two strong personalities, individually delightful.)

Poles 40% richer than they would be without EU membership, finds report
You're mixing cruise missiles and ballistic missiles which are very different things to intercept. Also comparing the volumes the US is able to fire with the volumes for an embargoed poor nation like Iran is probably not at the same scale.

300+ is more than was fired in a single attack against any country ever. Calling it small is disingenuous. It's possible that many of the duds weren't part of the initial tally published but it's unclear from the reports.

The significance here is the time-frame. This was done rapidly at a relatively short distance. As long as the defending side has enough missiles the volume doesn't matter (admittedly this is a big ask) what matters is the concurrent intensity required to overwhelm the defenses. But this is a pretty bad example regardless.

First, Israel is tiny. Its a smaller area to defend and that means fewer deployments/radars etc..

Iran is still just far enough to defend against. Missiles fired by their troops in Lebanon are much harder to intercept. There's just not as much time.

There was an intelligence warning and everyone was prepared.
Is it similar to Zig’s callconv keyword?
The previous poster said that the EU is not restricting the freedom of its citizens, but protecting them (from themselves?). I fail to see how one can say that with a straight face. If you had a basic understanding of history of dictorships you would know that every dictatorship starts off by "protecting" its citizens.
Yes, but the capability will be enforcing the bound w.r.t "capacity", not "length" as that is the allocated size. From CHERI's point of view "length" is just some random user defined variable with no effect on bounds checks.

I’ve been craving some Physics courses since it’s been about a decade since I was in school. I picked up a Classical Mechanics book to get back into the swing of things and of course it went through some basic linear algebra. It’s been a while since I’ve thought about the dot product of two vectors.

You know what blew me away though? Not one textbook I looked in mentioned “why” the dot product is important; that is it’s useful for determining the similarity of two vectors. They all focused on the mechanical details of computing the dot product, but never spelled out the reason it can be useful. I went through a few other resources before I broke down and had a little chat with ChatGPT to discuss the meaning behind it and it makes perfect sense after that.

In comparison to when I was in college, things are much slower paced so I can take the time I need to ensure I have a full grasp of a concept before moving forward. I guess all of this is to say that as I’ve continued forward through more concepts I keep finding that the books I’m reading offer a mechanical view instead of a holistic view of the material. This feels like the biggest issue with most math books I’ve read and it makes me wonder where books that offer more semantic meaning of concepts instead of recipes exist.
I think the point is Silicon Valley is such a place.

Hand up, I failed precalc twice and never made it past high school. But give me a blank SQL query where I can use window functions on a large dataset, I will tease out the differentiating variables that matter to a business. I think I missed the point of precalc. I never had to solve any real world problems, and the jargon was too impenetrable. Grouping and summarizing sets within sets is like, piece of cake. Just as is formal logic. The way it's taught is completely upside down.

O1 is 'aliens of extraordinary ability'. There's a special category for arts, which helps movie/tv stars come and film in the US. Major league sports talent can qualify.

My understanding is it's intended for people who are top talent in their fields to come here and work for an indefinite time (up to 3 years initially, with 1 year extensions). It's not a visa intended for immigration, although the article says you may be able to change status to eb-1 with similar qualifications.
