This is an interesting phenomenon that has happened before. You can look back at most ancient empires and find that at their peak they had vibrant cities, populated with the best and brightest from all over the world. Egypt, Athens, Rome, etc. People confuse cause and effect here. These places become so great because of the people that move there.

That makes the current debates in the US and the EU about limiting migration so silly and backwards. I come from the Netherlands; a country that used to punch way above its weight economically, militarily, and scientifically in the seventeenth century when New York was still called New Amsterdam. That happened on the tail-end of the rest of Europe pushing out intellectuals, religious minorities, etc. a lot of whom ended up in Amsterdam. You might think of Amsterdam as the seventeenth century Silicon Valley. Modern day dutch politics are dominated by populists with an anti migrant sentiment. They are longing for the good old days when the Netherlands was so great without realizing that migrants were a big part of that greatness.

Later London took over. And eventually the US ended up absorbing a lot of immigrants and became a world power. Twentieth century New York became the amazing place it is today. These events are not disconnected. You need a critical mass of migrants for stuff like this to happen.

I currently live in Berlin, which has a lot of people moving to it from all over the place. It's too early to tell for sure but I wouldn't be surprised to see some beautiful things happen here over the course of the next decades. If it does, it will be despite of the locals. Silicon Valley increasingly feels like it has a lot of greatness in its past but not necessarily in its future. There sure is a lot of money there. And some good universities. But moving there is not the logical move it would have been twenty years ago. I never did but it could have easily happened.
A website that does not display any of the article text without JS is not "perfectly good" IMO in the first place! Most inappropriate for a site called The Luddite!

I had a site that used to make me a useful side income. Its mostly lots of short pages explaining specific things, on average in a few hundred words. https://moneyterms.co.uk/

It lost its Google rankings many years ago.

It used to have adsense on it, but when I reapplied after moving countries they refused it on similar grounds to those mentioned in the article.

I am thinking of adding some fluff at the top of each page an seeing how it does.
I honestly don't think it's possible to have a QA team large enough to handle the gajillions of websites that come up and disappear every day. They just have to come up with better and better metrics until they find one that approximates the human experience the best.
How doesnt it play well one MacOS? I've been using Nix Home Manager + Nix Darwin as my package manager, and Direnv + Nix Shell for developer environments; and havent had any problems (yet). Is there something I should be aware of?

Agree about the learning curve; but I am going to experience onboarding my coworkers onto using Nix only for developer environments over the next months; I feel the curve is not quite that steep for that limited use case.

Having a library in the OS and actual interoperability are vastly different things. Not only do most consumer chat apps completely disregard HDR, but even worse, sending HDR images via almost any such channel has a high chance of the colours being mangled or -- at best -- silently converted to 8-bit SDR.

"Ultra HDR is amazing, but can be only viewed as such only on a Pixel phone. If I'm sending a pic to say FB Messenger it doesn't upload as Ultra HDR."
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/17n0fkh/ultra_...

Also, unlike Apple iPhone users, people with Android phones tend to get stuck on older major versions and can't upgrade. Easily half of all Android phones out in the wild can't correctly tone map or display either wide-gamut or HDR still images.

You mentioned Android 4 and 8, but full support for wide-gamut (Display P3 and Rec.2020) was only supported starting with Android 14:
https://source.android.com/docs/core/camera/wide-gamut

Android 8.1 was the first version to introduce any display colour management at all, which was in late 2017:
https://source.android.com/docs/core/display/color-mgmt

As recently as May 2019, there were Android developers blog articles with titled "Wide Color Photos Are Coming to Android": https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/05/wide-color...

Similarly, mixed SDR and HDR content (i.e.: not just a full screen Netflix-style app) was supported only since Android 13:

FWIW, I tried a few recipes too and they came out just fine, without the usual clutter. I further anticipate that this is the direction we'll be going in general, "search" as we know it was a ~30 year period where Google reigned supreme. The world since moved on.

If a simple useful site already gets a high percentage of clicks from Google Searches for its functionality, and wants to show ads, that’s $.

Right?

Why would PageRank rate a site highly, and funnnel people to it, while Adsense doesn’t want to monetize it?

I can’t come up with a sensible reason.

All I can think is Adsense is becoming so gamey, so sophisticated at monetizing spam and low quality content, that they are dropping the ball on engagement with simple quality, even when it leaves money on the table. I.e. this is an oversight.

But it is a very dysfunctional oversight.

Great quote
I’ve owned some Hondas recently where the rotors noticeably warped after several years (maybe since the cars have such good longevity?).

It probably strongly depends on driving styles. I also trust OEM metallurgy far more than anything you can purchase off Amazon.
Look...

You are taking literally 2-4 token phrases from my comment and attacking them without context. I'll spend time on the latter quote. You quote 'emergent capability'.

A) appreciate you correcting my spelling

B) 'The narrow test tube environment in which we see better performance hints at the unknown which when better understood could promise further yields down the road.

To my mind, the idea that filler tokens might promote immergent capability leading to broader task complexity'

C) Now that we have actual context... I'll leave the rest to the thoughtful reader. I said the following key words: 'hints', 'could', 'might'

D) Who asserted this behavior was emergent?

Recommend slowing down next time. You might get a more clear picture before you attack a straw man. Expect no further exchange. Best of luck.

Very happy to see that jquery has not been abandoned. Thanks for the update.
Because the Makefile also becomes a central place of what you can run in a project without having dozens of different shell scripts. You can comment on targets, depend on others. Makefile targets to restore, the build i18n files, etc

I made a bash script that takes your Makefile and gives you a nice dialog menu for the targets that have comments. Works nicely as a self documenting project command menu.

While it is admirable that you are willing to produce content out of your own generosity, it seems a little optimistic to assume that everyone making content on the internet is both willing and able to share it for free.

I am somewhat curious to hear more about the better and cleaner ways to make money on the internet, but I have a suspicion that in some circumstances (such as recipes) they may put you at a competitive disadvantage. I certainly have no desire to pay to access recipes I find via Google searches.
They’ve caused so much damage to the Scala community. Absolutely toxic. As a bystander to all of this back in the 2010s whilst I was involved with the language, watching the non stop “drama” between members of the community was exhausting and cringe inducing. Glad I left.
Yes you are right they can do this but it's not that easy to do and also these big tech giants can't just simply update the code like we can. Everything goes through a process which takes ample amount of time and If they does it also, I will come out with some more solution.
Of course I did. An $80 billion yearly profit stream is not “paper wealth.” Every year they could’ve bought ten US Steel, so who is managing who?

Most shells will tab complete after `./scripts/` too. In fact that's probably more common than make completion.

I think the real reason is you have it all in one file rather than multiple scripts which makes it easier to edit and maintain.
I'm a bit surprised the bulk of the comments here seem to fixate onto Go specifically, seemingly missing the actual point of the article:

The article demonstrates the Usermode Driver API, showing how a Linux driver can offload work into userspace (with or without access to a working filesystem).

I mentioned this yesterday in the context of the in-kernel codec discussion[1], where the questions "can't this be done in userspace" or "why not sandboxing" were dismissed pretty quickly.

Plurality of search engines?
How tragicomic of you to say that ;-)
Honestly I think Google needs to be broken up. It's not a novel idea but the more I think about it the more I like it.

So, Google becomes two orgs: Google indexing and Google search. Google indexing must offer its services to all search providers equally without preference to Google search. Now we can have competition in results ranking and monetisation, while 'google indexing' must compete on providing the most valuable signals for separating out spam.

It doesn't solve the problem directly (as others have noted, inbound links are no longer as strong a signal as they used to be) but maybe it gives us the building blocks to do so.

Perhaps also competition in the indexing space would mean that one seo strategy no longer works, disincentivising 'seo' over what we actually want, which is quality content.
This, I am a terrible note taker. For years a huge part my knowledge and skills relied on "if I found that information once, I'll find it again". My brain compressed the information by memorizing the path to retrieve it again.

Now that does not work anymore. You know some information is out there, you found it once when google worked, now it's lost in the noise.

I'm learning to take notes again and organize them so I can search them easily.
How did that compiler sprung into existence, magic digital pixie dust?

Bingo. Whenever new coroutines are scheduled to be executed sometime in the future, something somewhere needs to keep them sorted so that the event loop knows how to dequeue them.

It's funny to show this to someone new to CS, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could look at the source for the asyncio implementation and figure out exactly what sorting algorithm you are "actually" using.
No offence, there's 2 big differences:

1) they're Jewish

2) they actually defend themselves

Armenia and Lebanon have the same problem in the UN, but it only lasts weeks, and then they fail to defend themselves, and the muslim voting block in the UN is happy when they're militarily defeated, and they just don't care about themselves: not about human rights violations by muslims against anyone else. Not even about disgusting human rights violations by muslims against muslims. Look how much effort people put into getting attention for Sudan, and it's just not getting anywhere, and it won't.
> Used electric cars comfortable for a family of 4, with bigger trunk, can drive at least 800km fully loaded in winter in 1 go without ever thinking about battery state, or chargers network?

I enjoyed how this sentence escalated suddenly. It felt like you got halfway through then worried that there were actually used electric cars suitable for families of four with big trunks, and then massively overcompensated to rule those out and managed to rule out basically every EV.

The transition to electric vehicles is planned over decades. People act like they're being forced into electric cars today at gunpoint. Since we're talking about second hand cars you have decades of ICE purchasing ahead of you. I think for most people, it won't be that long before it just makes sense to switch. But you've got your long winter journies and fast charger phobia so you're a special case.
I agree on the beauty of liquid types. I encourage HN to learn Sail, simply to get experience with liquid types. The Sail specification of RISCV is currently the only place where liquid types are used in industrial code. (There is Liquid Haskell and Liquid Rust, but they are research prototypes.) I expect that over the next decade or two, liquid types will come to the programming mainstream.

The configurability problem has several main parts.

(1) It's a Turing complete problem as the informal RISCV specification gives you so much freedom, including all those IMPDEFs. The specification of a complex, configurable ISA will always be intrinsically complex and syntax can only do so much about presenting this intrinsic complexity.

(2) Sail's lack of a clear, easy to use module system for configuration of the exact RISCV version to be emulated.

Look I hate these SEO-laden pages just as much as the next guy, but I think the binary classification of "good content" and "bad content" lacks nuance. I would refer to it instead as "bad packaging" of (often) good content.

Psykadelics: Classic Games Revived Online
Hi everyone,

Over a decade ago, I developed a game engine using C/SDL/OpenGL and Lua, which led to the creation of three distinct games by a friend of mine. Each game explores a different genre and showcases unique gameplay experiences. Recently, I've taken the opportunity to bring these games to the web platform using Emscripten, making them easily accessible to play online.

1. Psykadelics: Dive into a vibrant, rhythm-based world where you dodge and weave through mesmerizing patterns of obstacles. Perfect for players who love music and motion.

2. Shmupacabra: Take control of a jet in this intense shoot 'em up. Battle against waves of enemy spaceships and dodge their relentless attacks. A must-try for fans of classic arcade shooters.

3. Lariad: Explore a compelling story of a swamp dweller whose peaceful life is disrupted by an unexpected intruder. This action/adventure platformer combines engaging narrative with challenging gameplay.

Whether you're a fan of old-school games or looking for something new to try, these games offer a fresh twist on classic mechanics. They're available to play for free – just follow this link to get started: https://psykadelics.com/

I'm eager to hear what you think and would appreciate any feedback or discussions about your experiences with these games. Enjoy playing!
