I mean Singapore has draconian punishments for crimes too but they correspondingly have next to no drug use. We lose tens of thousands of people to fentanyl every year, whole towns are devastated etc. Hanging a few drug smugglers is definitely the lesser evil.

That being said, I enjoy my individual rights in the US and wouldn’t live anywhere else but there is a valid argument to be made that our ethics are sometimes a little too short sighted/individualistic and not holistic enough.

(I’m also definitely against the death penalty, just trying to make a point)

A family member works for a company that writes and publishes a mandatory handbook for GPs in Australia.

One day the WHO found them and wholesale copied large chunks of their content verbatim into their online resources without asking or informing. They only found out because THEY went looking on the WHO website for the latest information on something.

At that point I started wondering just how much of big companies' work and content is just plagiarism and gratuitous theft from reputable but less visible or popular sources (also highly dependent on country, language, etc). And that was before I discovered hbomberguy on YouTube.
I’m on iOS 17 and when I tap any word in the text field, neighboring or not, the cursor 100% of the time jumps at the boundary of that word closest to the tap. It is precise enough that I can aim before or after trailing punctuation. Whether there is a word selected or not does not matter: if I previously selected a word by double-tapping, the cursor jump will just un-select it.

I have made a screen recording, but am too lazy to figure out a way to share it.

It almost sounds like a few repliers here are using some other phone, or ignored the point I made previously about the spell checker. I feel your pain but I can help no more.

Parseback: A pure-Lua introspection library for LuaJIT's FFI ctype objects
I suppose it's already covered how the title is clickbait because the doc was blocked from being shared, not from being accessed. Also not described is exactly how "out there" the content was, how many people it was attempted to be shared with, was it shared to specific people or with an open-access link, was it ever accidentally or intentionally directly shared with anyone who might object to the content, and other things that could make this seem to be a very reasonable action.

Google may not always be great, but this sounds like a nothingburger until proven otherwise to me.
I was interested in e-ink solutions for a long time due to eye fatigue and dry eye.

It turns out I had a very minor stigmatism. My eye doctor did not recommend correcting it, but upon correction my dry eye and eye fatigue completely went away.

So, get your minor astigmatism corrected via computer glasses, regardless of the eye doctor, best practice for minimum prescription strength.
I’m working on that problem right now actually, but not in a direct way. We create ad hoc content for people based on product reviews etc and have had to invest a fair amount of time filtering content and removing sponsored/shill and low quality generated content that reduces the utility of our… generated content. Ours is at least dynamically rendered so others won’t have to sift through it some day.
I agree with you on an ideological level but I don’t think home server hosting is as convenient as making an online account.

I really hope the single box solutions get at least close to it.

You can't turn off delayed ACKs and make them stay off, which is a related problem.
The Linux API for that is very strange. It only applies for a short period.

Delayed ACKs and the Nagle algorithm should never be on at the same time. The trouble is, they're controlled at opposite ends of the connection. You can turn off the Nagle algorithm at your end, but you want to turn off delayed ACKs at the other end. That's the practical problem.

Still, what's the use case for having multiple tiny messages in flight during one RTT? Games usually send their interactive traffic over UDP. If you have delayed ACKs off, you should never have a propagation delay of more than one RTT. It's that fixed timer in delayed ACKS, set to a value that made sense for keyboard echo, that can cause delays of more than one RTT.
In the South SF Bay Area, our pickup truck gets 13 mpg mixed freeway/city.

Doing 75-80 on flat land, or 65-70 over the Sierra Nevadas, it gets 24 mpg. With city traffic in other cities it gets 18 mpg.

The reason it is so bad here is that the environmental activists passed traffic quiescence laws that try to discourage people to drive by making the roads worse.

Of course, they don’t make obvious fixes to improve public transit, and the bike lane “improvements” they put in are mostly textbook “how to kill bicyclists” designs that European countries phased out decades ago.

Here are two classic favorites: concrete barriers that are too close to the curb to allow street sweeping, and adding bike lanes between parallel parking spots and the sidewalks.

They must have realized people started re-routing their trips to avoid stoplights unless they were making right turns, since they’ve also started erecting barriers or adding red arrows to make it impossible to make right turns on red.

Anyway, this wastes time, but it also costs us at least $100 a month on gasoline. Our primary car is an EV.

Anyway, around here, even a small investment in reducing idling (or just cutting funding for traffic quiescence projects) would be equivalent to increasing vehicle fuel economy by something like 20-80%.
Views are fragile in a sense that they don't update when the table that they depend on change and generally, you don't have any notification when you break one (e.g. by dropping a column that the view selects). I bumped into both of these in MySQL and SQLite. It looks to me like a view acts just like a cached sql string and not much more than that.

> I'm fairly sure that the CP/M-86 documentation says that a chained program returns to its caller, not the CCP

From my own review of https://bitsavers.org/pdf/digitalResearch/cpm-86/CPM-86_Syst... – the section on CHAIN (PDF page 160) says CHAIN frees the memory of its caller, which isn't consistent with returning to it after execution is complete.

However, it also describes (PDF page 60) function 59 (PROGRAM LOAD), which can be used to load a child process. Like DOS 1.x, spawning a child process is somewhat of a manual process, you apparently have to use function 59 to load the CMD file, functions 51 and 52 to set the default DMA base and offset (which CCP normally does for you), and then manually do a far jump to the start of the program. At least, unlike DOS 1.x, the image loader is in the BDOS kernel not CCP.

But, this is not unique to 8086 CPU architecture, this function is also implemented by CP/M-68K–which (I believe) relocates all executables as it loads them – see PDF page 106 of http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/digitalResearch/cpm-68k/CPM-68K... - (it is also implemented by CP/M-80 3.x, but there it can only load RSXs not standard executables.) And I believe CP/M-8000 implements it too

> And BDOS function 0 with DL=1 will exit while keeping the program resident in memory.

Yes, you are right, I wasn't aware of that. Now I read more about this, my impression is RSXs are CP/M-80 only, and CP/M-86, CP/M-68K and CP/M-8000 use TSRs instead.
Current world-wide oil production is c. 83 million barrels per day [1]. With the estimated 511 billion barrels, about 2x of Saudi Arabia’s reserves (2005, [2]), that would last for about 15 years.

Some percentage of people don't have a car. It's safe to assume that trends to lower income.

So parking mandates are also a form of (hidden) economic apartheid. If my city mandates say 2 spaces per apartment, it's intrinsically reducing housing stock for "poor people" - hence "more exclusive neighborhoods."

Which sounds good, except that the services needed (often done by the poor) get hard to supply.

Cynical me suggests that selective zoning creates 'pockets of poor' - but pragmatically me points out this is good for clustering car-alternatives making them more effective.

On balance I think it's a win - and frankly is good for everyone.
My all time favorite! I did my 10000 hours with Shake before it was discontinued.

With hindsight it’s maybe good idea to learn few different approaches to doing any task. Being an expert in any particular software is risky as things get discontinued all the time. Lucky that Ron’s book, the manual and the actual software exposed the underlying theory really well so I actually had learned a bit about compositing as well over the time I used Shake.

I was looking for a site for single person small businesses that are mostly local.
Sure, business is hard. When doing business you have to spend money and labor solving problems for customers. This is one of the problems you have to solve when you store people's data for them.

We don't need to "appreciate it" any more than we need to appreciate how hard it is to get gasoline to the pump, I appreciate that by buying the gas, I appreciate Google's service by buying Workspace (or if you use Docs for free, which you probably shouldn't, granting them a license to use and resell some of your data).

Now specifically the problem with Google is that they don't want to do all the work involved in their line of business. They invest very little time in doing effective content moderation and support with humans and that's why you get ridiculous events like this one. Their model, and this is the key thing to understand, is to be large enough that they can cut costs and deliver worse service but you stay with them anyway because switching is hard and you don't have a lot of alternatives.

This is pretty much the textbook definition of monopoly-style market power abuse, and it's essentially illegal, so another way of putting this is Google's business strategy is to be large enough that they can violate the law without consequences.

They are a mafia.

These types of people are always saying "data is the new oil," well that means Google is the new Standard Oil. It needs to be broken up otherwise it will continue to violate the law willfully at scale.

>Financial sanctions levied against Khoroshev by the U.S. Department of the Treasury listed his known email and street address (in Voronezh, in southwest Russia), passport number, and even his tax ID number (hello, Russian tax authorities).

Like maybe a website is considered better if it is linked to by other websites? Kinda like research papers... We could call it "Page Rank".

Hmm. I think I've heard this before.

I seem to be missing something, thus thank you for taking your time

> Wouldn't that be like if in C, you had to write the arguments in reverse order of the format string, like this?

Exactly and that's not what we want

Let's go through this step by step:

sprintf "%s %d" returns a function, taking a string and returning a function taking an integer and returning a string, right?

sprintf "%s %d" "hello" returns a function taking an integer, returning a string, right?

sprintf "%s %d" "hello" 42 returns a string, right?

Thus my intuition of the return type of sprintf "%s %d" would be string -> (int -> string) not int -> (string -> string)
I have never come across "AI generated" content in duckduckgo
A lot of low-lying fruit has surely been plucked by AI models in the fields of Code Generation, NLP and Computer Vision, and a lot of this is now shrink-wrapped as fine-tunable or zero-shot models behind APIs or abstracted in HF pipelines. IMHO, there are plenty of rapid advances yet to be made in focusing coding and ML engineering in more esetoric fields that require specialized domain knowledge (eg Cheminformatics, Quant Finance).

Oh another use case I think is important, the app store, who would that work on the watch? how do you have reviews etc?

Of course there are lots of hard workers at Google. You suggest only about 10% are slackers. But that's 10% of a -lot-.

I thought you like other repliers are having cursor “misbehaving” all the time, since you wrote it misplaces cursor 50% of the time earlier. That is definitely not my experience.

A couple of times per week it happens for me that the cursor chooses to land on the wrong side of white space or such, but that is infrequent enough and easy to fix that it does not bother me.
>Google and Apple have a somewhat poor software innovation reputation.

Most cities have had parking minimums for a while, so any new housing without parking is competing against existing housing with the imposed parking ratio.

Meaning, if you are shopping around for housing, you can choose housing with more parking. Which means that to compete with it, housing with less parking will have to compete in other ways, like, say, lower prices. Which is more important than automobile storage in a lot of places with a housing shortage and the consequent skyrocketing prices.

There's a middle ground here. I saw the northern lights with my own eyes just days ago and it was mostly grey. I saw some color. But when I took a photo with a phone camera, the color absolutely popped. So it may be that you've seen more color than any photo, but the average viewer in Seattle this past weekend saw grey-er with their eyes and huge color in their phone photos.

(Edit: it was still super-cool even if grey-ish, and there was absolutely beautiful colors in there if you could find your way out of the direct city lights)

Measuring the impact of zoning on housing in a city
It is HNs business to speak about middle eastern countries except for speaking about Israel, it's suddenly very political and no longer HN worthy.
It's a lot more than novelty. It's dedicating the attention span needed to listen to an album track by track without skipping to another song or another artist. If that sounds dumb, give it time and you'll get there also.

It's not just technology though. Globalization has added so many layers between us and the objects we interact with.

I think Etsy was a bit ahead of their time. It's no longer a marketplace for handcrafted goods - it got overrun by mass produced goods masquerading as something artisan. I think the trend is continuing and in 5-10 years we'll be tired of cheap and plentiful goods.

> But there might be no actual possible course of action which would avoid both forms of outrage!

> And, at a large scale, false positive rates and false negative rates are usually in a trade-off, even when people supposedly agree on what is supposed to happen. (Which they also don't actually agree on.) That's especially true when companies are using software and statistics to help them make judgments, or when they're not spending billions of dollars to have decisions made by domain experts, at leisure, with rights of appeal.

There is a course of action that leads to far better results; human review. But that cuts into the $billions of quarterly profits, so we don't want that.

The idea that it's unaffordable to these companies is a complete fabrication. It should be forced upon them. If that halves their profit, so be it, it just means their margins have been too high due to offloading negative externalities unto society.
