One lets you save and return to an execution state (program counter and local environment), the other lets you create and call an execution state that is saved between calls to it.

There are obvious implementation differences but I'm not sure it makes any difference here, in both cases you can return to the same execution state multiple times.
Shared libs, rpath and the runtime linker
Minor nit: the observer effect is distinct from the uncertainty principle, which says that two quantities like position and momentum (“conjugate variables”) cannot simultaneously be known to arbitrary certainty, which is to say, their wavefunctions cannot be simultaneously localized to arbitrarily small regions (of their respective spaces). This applies to any two functions that are Fourier transforms of each other, which position and momentum are (my terminology is sloppy here, but close enough to be useful), and has nothing to do with the change to a wavefunction that occurs by measuring it.
How are the interstitial ads handled in an OS such as this? Is the ad running time factored into the control system on the kernel level? Do the operators have a realtime safe button press to "skip ad" in high traffic situations?
Computer engineering is literally designed to allow the most simple reliable substrate for the most complex possible abstractions to be built upon. It's bizarre (but common?) for computer science practitioners to be strangely unaware of how artificial the tools they use are. Then expecting the rest of the world to be as "simple" as their environment.

Semiconductor processing on the other hand is physics. Success is discovered rather than primarily designed. There are development tools, but things like the "pixie dust" used to avoid the superparamagnetic limit in spinning media were not understood for years after they were commercially shipped in hard drives. Biology/Pharma is much more complex/hit-miss and the biotech industry treats most employees quite badly.
I agree with you but thats only acceptable for non-public and non-PE owned firms. Apple is beholden to shareholders like every other public company. Those shareholders will sell en masse and invest elsewhere if they don't see a clear strategy for company growth and therefore, a return on their investment.
What results of American foreign policy can you see on TikTok that you can't see on YouTube or Twitter?
> Australia is a major consumer market

Australia is more than nothing, but a country with 26 million people and about 1.2 million new car sales annually isn’t tipping the scales of the global market too much. They’re also geopolitically aligned with the USA so the medium to long term outlook is negative for China trade relations.

> SEA has money to buy things even if they don’t make many cars outside of maybe Thailand

Every region has money to buy things and their business isn’t worthless, but SEA isn’t a big consumer market yet and isn’t going to be making up for the loss of/reductions in the big consumer markets. There’s only so many sales that the region can absorb even if we don’t factor in the fact that the region is adjacent to and frequently the target of Chinese military belligerence recently and for centuries. There is increasing regional geopolitical alignment with the USA albeit at arms length.
As someone who is a few years into their CS career, I wish I knew where to 'restart' learning sciences (bio,chm,phy). I am quickly overwhelmed by the plethora of resources people throw at you when you ask that question (There's Khan Academy, there's OCW, there's actual textbooks, coursera, pop science etc)...

Anyone manage to at least start? If so, where? I mostly forgot my university level science courses.
> hm.. i don't think iran destabilized syria, iraq, yemen, and most of all lebanon, to "protect themselves" from anybody

If you read even the basic Wikipedia historical last-few-decades overviews of those countries you mentioned, you will not read that Iran invaded and destroyed governments of those countries. You know who had a major part in destroying those countries? The "good guys".

Iran is absolutely helping the Shia elements in those countries for its own geopolitical gain, but to claim that Iran has destabilized those countries after the western powers and arab gulf states ravaged them so thouroughly that they are all now considered failed states, is some absolute next level propaganda that I could not ignore.
I don't think this will be better than weaker transformer.
> The most important reason for my code structure is that I just like writing GLSL shaders! It's annoying that I need to set up Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind, React, etc. all so that I can write some shaders

That's what the frontend hype canal wants you to think!

Your frontend JS could just `fetch` the GLSL files from the backend instead of trying to compile them into your build process.

There are tradeoffs to this of course, but dealing with the complexity death star of JS tooling can be opted out of.
Quite obviously, almost nothing will stick if simply mentioned/explained just once or twice during the schooling process. Its usage has to be incorporated into the process kind of like when you learn basic algebraic formulae and then apply them countless times during the years to come so they become a thing as ordinary as your own hands. You can still forget precise correct formulae after some years of non-usage but you will never forget they exist and you will always know you have to look up or derive a specific formula once you encounter a relevant problem.
I hope from the comments people seek higher wages for their worth - if everyone did this it would create a force pushing up dev salaries. The tech profits can more than handle this and smaller shops would have to stop doing inefficient stuff. I think cheaper devs allows laziness in thinking. Just throw a bigger team at it, see if it sticks.
YouTube doesn’t work? They still make CDs too
doomemacs is similar and tends to be lighter and works well native jit compiling all the add ons.
Because at this point, 25 years later, "this is just bikeshedding" has become the battle cry of people trying to ram their changes in without review.
I mean we are required to run ClamAV where I am at on Ubuntu. It’s just in case for our Kubernetes cluster
>I swear most devs on HN have had their brains addled by inflated salaries.

Are you sure it's not just a coping mechanism (I can't find the right word, sorry), for those who didn't get those salaries to say this line?

Even in PHX my company offers 95k as starting base for junior devs.
Do Twitter or YouTube have no videos of the war in Gaza, or are such videos a uniquely TikTok thing?
I haven't looked this up in a few years, but is it still bad practice to run things as root in docker? There was always a fear in the community that running things as root would make the path easier if a hypothetical jailbreak were to occur. It always felt like "Buy our kevlar vest, but maybe pack some chainmail underneath. Just incase."
People keep saying this despite it being not true.
You just described every superpower, global and regional. Or do you have a very narrow internal definition of what "ideology" means? Maybe that's the subjective part.
Reading the rest of the document doesn't feel very illuminating either. As near as I can tell, the guy who made Nix is apparently also involved in a startup/company that also acts as a contributor of Nix and a distributor of some version of it. There's some concerns over a military contractor that uses Nix and sponsored a recent Con, and some potential conflict of interest between the the Nix creator as the head of the Nix project, and that person as an employee of a company allegedly tied to the sponsor.

And then there's a lot of referencing various "bad behaviors", but being honest, those seem the weaker points. Of the two I've looked through the links for, the one about not expanding the commit/PR approval team for CPPNix looks especially like prudent caution in light of what we know about how the xz thing played out recently, and the one regarding a PR that was ignored for "quite a while" reads (as an outsider to all of this) worse for the authors of this open letter. First, if the dates on the PR are correct, "quite a while" apparently means less than 1 day. And while the issue might indeed be something that needs to be reverted the PR author comes across quite hostile to everyone else trying to understand the use case, and there's a LOT of snark about breaking stable behavior. If this is frustration boiling over from repeated prior experiences, I hope the people the letter is aimed at have that context because to someone coming in cold, this is a terrible example.
That couldn't be further from the truth in my experience
I really don't like how any files docker writes to the host will be owned by root if you run docker as root.

Creating files in a VSCode dev container creates them as root and I really don't like that.
well, you put SDL in it, which has so many i18n and accessibility gotchas that you've pretty much blown both your feet off already. I'd be surprised if it's keyboard handling is robust enough to work with non US layout keyboards for a start.
Australia has traditionally had government led national infrastructure to achieve span and system uniformity, followed on by waves of privatisation to varying degrees - for roads, power, telecommunications, etc.

It's a large (mainland USA in area equivilant) area with sparse dense pockets of population.

W.Australia has a fully independent power grid, I suspect the Northern Territory is the same. The East Coast (where the vast majority of population resides) has inter connected State grids .. including (recently) Tasmania, an island state with a great deal of hydro electricity and gas reserves.

There's a federal road network, lesser roads are state roads, smaller roads are managed by local councils.
Click the image to change it. There's a small hand icon in the lower right corner to indicate this.
There is a certain "Linux philosophy" such that the user expected to have a kajillion different things installed into the global path. If your environment isn't precisely correct either it won't build or it won't run. I find that philosophy less common for other platforms.

My personal experience is that Linux is FAR AND AWAY the most painful OS to develop for. I fully admit I'm not a Linux expert! Getting anything done requires a LOT of Googling and running of arcane commands. It's quite frustrating.
There are not many options. Headcount might help (secondment, overtime, contractors, move from another team, new hire) or pushing other work back (or cancelling it, reducing scope) or saying no (find a workaround, go without it). I might of missed it but there is only so much you can do. A win win might be showing how doing X now is not worth it because event Y makes X obsolete or less valuable.
I was an avid Dropbox user from 2011, but I found that myself thinking the same in the sense that Dropbox was becoming more and more complex. I also found their pricing became expensive.

I switched to Google Drive/Photos and haven't looked back
I don't like receipt-at-door, but I'm not sure I'd describes it as hostile as much as kind of sad. (Unless enforcement is biased, or the person doing the checking is being rude, etc.)

I mean, everything in my cart is stuff that I just finished willingly recording into their sales records, so it's not as if I've had time to develop much sense of privacy or attachment over it.

For whatever reason, I think I'm more annoyed/discomfited by the "higher security tiny store within a store" thing some places have been doing, especially when all I wanted was a single toothpaste or something.
>I've always loved that narrative for its optimism

Despite all the European love, most of Europe (and rather, most of the world) is pretty poor compared to US.
I dream of a graduation speech where someone says all of this stuff, or even a proper uni course “avoiding corporate bullshit in a narcissistic world and how to sue your landlord” … except the donors wont like this!
Because costs are also high.

A large supermarket takes up vast amounts of expensive real estate both for the store itself and for parking. There may be a warehouse as well (though those can generally be put on less-expensive real estate). Not only does the real estate cost a lot to begin with, property taxes are an ongoing expense.

Many of the major grocery chains are unionized, and pay (relatively) high wages. The dollar stores are more likely to pay minimum wage or maybe a bit more.

As others have noted, a lot of meat and produce winds up being thrown out because it's going bad. That's spendy, especially for meat.

Then that huge space has to be heated and cooled to keep the humans comfortable and you also need to pay for the electricity to run gigantic refrigeration and freezer units for the food. This is made worse by the fact that the freezer units have to be powerful enough to handle people opening and closing them all the time, and the fact that they need to have glass doors so people can see what's in there. Sometimes the freezers and often the meat/dairy refrigeration are actually open to the air, without doors of any kind.

And so on.
Ruby vs. Python comes down to the for loop (2021)
Another anecdotal data point: I took biology first year of college and we had labs where we looked at things under a microscope and draw what we saw. And for whatever reason - inability to draw, difficulty focusing on what I saw, or that things moved, I just couldn’t do it. We were required to pass the labs to pass the course. I ended up dropping the course.
Possibly? That seems like even more of a kludge though because Postgres wouldn’t know if that’s a mistake or intended behavior
My top 3 are

1. OneDrive: works amazing on windows and has Office. Plus, works great with Cryptomator and clients are good
2. Google drive, the best all around service, that is cross device compatible and is always fast and reliable (this would be my suggestion to you)
3. Mega. Secure private, great share mechanic and client apps are very good

That's from inflation. Look at CVS revenue growth and that's with a declining customer volume. Fewer customers buying fewer items, but fairly massive revenue growth.
Oh interesting, I always read (on r/GraphicsProgramming) that XCode has some of the best debugging tools out there. That's the main reason it's been on my mind. I just need better debugging tools on Mac!

Fair point about the health tech industry.
> The very nature of the self check out and all of its problems are driving people to hate them

What are you talking about? I use self checkout at every opportunity I can. Feel free not to if you don't want, but this projection is weird.
I refuse to let them check my receipt other than Costco/Sam's where apparently you can lose your membership. Even there if the line is too long I walk out with my stuff.

I'm not a thief and won't be treated like one.
In principle, they could probably just buy their own robots and start their own businesses. Locality is its own quality for SMEs. Whether or not that happens in practice is anyone's guess.
The western mind can definitely comprehend it. When it's garbage pickup day in my city, sometimes people are going by on bicycles rooting through trash bins (or recycling bins if it's recycling pickup day) and taking anything they can turn in for a recycling deposit. This is in Vancouver, Canada. It's probably not nearly as prevalent as in Colombia, but yeah...

And yes, for sure, the root cause is the creation of plastic and its inclusion in nearly all commercial products. It's everywhere, and it's not the fault of you and I. We didn't choose it. I completely agree that having discard that is biodegradable (and perhaps can directly contribute to a compost pile) is a very worthwhile goal.

Oh yeah, a bunch of cities here banned plastic takeout bags, but it's implemented in such a poor way that it's now just a great profit center for fast food restaurants: they are _legally required_ to charge $0.25 for a bag, even if it's a paper bag. I'm sure McDonalds absolutely loves this new policy. They already gave out paper bags with takeout, but now they cost the customer $0.25! It's especially funny because now all the restaurants give you these thick "plastic fabric" bags (and charge you for them) which you'll get more use out of, but are not any better for the environment. I still get one every single time I get takeout from any sushi place. Now instead of a bag full of thin plastic bags in my closet, I have a bag full of just as many super-thick plastic/cloth bags in my closet! Good stuff. Some are recyclable, I have a huge stack of these from takeout: https://lppackaging.ca/collections/biodegradable-bags/produc... ... I wonder if I can just tell them I don't want a bag, and arrive with my own...
No need to make this personal. This is about Amazon, not jedberg.
Exactly. Without any sort of baseline measure of what is typical in any given year, this could be interpreted as either a sensationalized cherry picking of the usual rate of problems, or a major deviation from normal.
TFA even says "they don't fashion the tools" which means they aren't "tools" but rather "implements". Science journalism: a career that for whatever reason attracts people who are good at neither.
Remember before self checkout when you had to wait in line while 1 or 2 people on duty checked you out? Hope we aren't going back to that.
This is what user namespaces are for. Files written as "root" in the container are written as the host user.
TikTok does not actually have many such videos since they get taken down far more aggressively than they do on, say, X/Twitter or Telegram. However, TikTok has the eyeballs of the vast majority of the young people and they talk about the ongoing atrocities nonstop, and it's crushed the image of both Israel and USA over the past 6 months. From that angle, it's a huge national interest issue for both the countries' ruling establishment to get the censorship level (and censorship priorities) of such topics on TikTok under better control.
Bill Gurley’s talk during the 2023 All-In Summit provides interesting perspective on the type of regulatory capture that leads to bill modifications like this. It’s worth listening to if you have an idle 30 mins.

Glad to see the clause was nixed!
Most companies to stay small but we hear about the big ones. Having armies of people probably does help then I imagine most of the time, unless you got that team of 10x ers (where the 10x is commutative) making an architecture that needs little maintenance and scales and marketing is built in (you are the product) etc. Selling healthcare software means you need lots of brains on different tasks. Twitter like companies could be lean but Microsofts can’t really be. Although Microsofts
could be split up vertically if that is what you mean.
How much does it cost to live in Mexico compared to the US?

Nice to see there are humans here!

- Going from the beta to the prod app erases all of my favorites

- many stations (like Atlantic Ave-Barclays) have to be added two or three times under favorites

- under nearby, each bus location is listed twice (one per direction, cluttering up the list)

- would love to see a view that showed me all trains from the nearest N (three? let me pick) stations, so I could decide which one to walk to — currently have to swipe/tap back and forth between multiple screens (which typically lose state/position)

- in settings, two menu items refer to AAR. I am sure 90% of the users don't know that's "Access-a-Ride"; there's also no way to turn that off for the people who don't use it

- contact us isn't integrated into SalesForce, so you have to re-enter your contact info each time, and there's no way to follow up on tickets from the app

- would be nice to have live chat to customer service (like you can via WhatsApp)

- if you enter text into the search field, then shrink the window height by dragging it to the bottom, you lose your search field contents

Product-wise, you are still structuring this around the physical infrastructure (what's at station XYZ) vs the user need (how do I get to place ABC).

Hopefully you'll bundle TrainTime in soon, as well as add OMNY card management.

It is amazing (but not surprising) that MyMTA (which is ≈6 years old) was "unmaintainble" and had to be thrown out. Can't decide if it was because the city only paid $40K/year and couldn't hire anyone good or because they paid some consultant who is friends with DOITT staff $5MM/year.
Does Adding Friction in the Product Usage Makes Your Product More Sticky?
Well if it worked for Valve it'll obviously work for a pharmaceutical company!
I love the romance of this piece, but in my experience he’s just describing the difference in expectations of learning biology at a high school versus advanced undergraduate to graduate level.

Romance is for those who care, and most don’t. But it is so, so beautiful once you do.
I wonder, does it even matter? Who would know what editor you used to write a piece of code?
ATC includes “Center” which manages planes once they’re out of the airport, and those can (and are) handled by controllers far removed from the area they’re controlling.
Prohibitive to all except powerful global adversaries attempting to influence world events with unrealistically massive dark budgets that come from who knows where? The Pentagon's just failed it's financial audit for the 6th year in a row. The US citizens have no clue where those trillions went - and that's just the stuff that's on the budget that the public knows about. Who knows what other sources of funding they have? We know even going back to the church commission that the intelligence agencies commit crimes in the course of intelligence gathering, all perfectly excusable with some hand waving and invocation of the magic spell "matter of national security". We also know US intelligence agencies routinely cooperate with foreign partners to spy on people those spies can't spy on due to constitutional restrictions, and then share the intelligence. It's a quid-pro-quo arrangement where they both serve as loopholes for eachother's constitutional protections. Who's to say the CIA doesn't have a few contacts over at the Chinese equivalent who would happily allow Chinese citizens to take partial control of an American company... it's a win for China, and it would be a win for American intelligence who wanted to "frame" a domestic media empire, guilty of disobedience with the unspoken mandates of ideological conformity enforcement, such as Twitter. It's a win-win for everyone except Twitter, the Twitter shareholders, and the Twitter customers who valued their free speech in that situation.

You can call that possibility a far-fetched fever dream, you can resort to personal attacks against my character, but no matter what refutation you offer, my amygdala's response is "just give it a few years, let's wait and see". I don't mind admitting if I'm wrong and nothing like that ever happens. I'd hope for as much were I not so rationally pessimistic.
I assume that means "don't rely on this in any serious setting" and/or "don't try to sell it for profit".
Salesforce's Talks to Buy Informatica Fizzle
I have a feeling you just made the stories below up.

Could you refer to an existing proof of these claims, or at least put it in some sort of a more logical form that can demonstrate that these things are necessarily true? Narrative format can make not actually true things appear true pretty easily.
