This is twofold I think.

If having had a deep connection happened because you are in general someone easily capable of deep connection, it would be indeed easier to connect deeply again.

But if having a deep connection happened despite you not being such a person, but, e.g., because the person you lost had an equally rare disposition as you, or you lived through special circumstances that bonded you more deeply, it's probably harder to replicate this.
It's a valuable lesson to learn that the person in authority gets to set rules, even if they're arbitrary.

Oh, it's better than that: They had tab grouping as a native feature, and it was great, then they factored it out into an extension... and then they changed the way extensions worked, and didn't bother porting it. Kind of an insulting way to kill a feature IMO.
> Windows will keep some patches in reserve

Some patches depend on previous ones, and until those are installed, and rebooted, the newer patches will not be offered.

This is most evident trying to get a laptop not opened for 6 months up to date, multiple check for updates and reboots over multiple hours are required.
I can see why your approach is useful for you and probably for other people. I just don’t seek out gray comments (though sometimes I do read some) because I am ok with missing interesting viewpoints. HN does fine despite my behaviors.

I am not contrarian in the sense that I think good comments are downvoted to a meaningful extent. YMMV.
One example, where Alito reaches back to Witch Trials to justify his anti-abortion stance: https://www.propublica.org/article/abortion-roe-wade-alito-s... ...

I understand "tradition" can play a role in jurisprudence, but this is clearly a bit much.

Really to find super-obvious examples look at almost any judgement by Thomas, or Alito.

The others (Roberts,Kavanaugh, Coney-Barrett & Gorsuch have all been able to partly go against perceived partisanship now and then.

This doesn't mean that there isn't left-wing jurisprudence operated by the "progressive" side of the aisle, but generally (I feel) it's more rare. Maybe if the court were 6-3 in the other direction it would be similar, where a couple extremist outliers would consistently vote with a strong Partisan bias.

The weakening/overturning of the of federal oversight of the south's voting processes, which was originally mandated by the Voting Rights Act, is another one I would call pretty partisan. But that's just my view. YMMV.
It's possible the person asking the question is using a university computer that comes with Windows. The IT people that set it up don't care how much it gets in your way.

Linux isn't much better either these days, with the same shenanigans leaking in like cancer for no reason.

Every time I forget to kill and purge unattended-upgrade on some Ubuntu install it ends up messing up my system at some later point because apt just can't keep its grubby little hands of my fucking packages. The other day it broke Nvidia drivers on one machine which took me a while to fix. Sometimes it'll just decide it needs to run an update for something e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y-s-l-o-w-l-y while blocking all apt installs for like an hour if you happen to be on slow wifi.

Cheap, dirty leftovers can release pure oxygen
We actually wanted to use the Seek app to show kids how to identify plants from pictures and what they could learn about plants. We wanted to emphasize:
* native vs introduced vs endangered
* threatened or endangered
* medicinal, culinary, or crafting uses

Unfortunately we could not because of school policy preventing kids from using smart phones in class, BUT they were happy to follow the teacher around and point at plants to ID. It significantly increased classroom participation cause it’s interactive learning. Information that used to be incredibly out of reach is now readily in front of them.

Overall, I think it’s good to extremely limit use of smartphones in schools, but I think there’s some amazing stuff we can do now like bird ID with Merlin and kids should know how to do it.
Can you clarify what you mean by "going down a lot"? I interpret that to mean that the stacks are flatter, but then debug builds without inlining would grow the stack, not flatten it, so I'm not clear on what you're saying.

Scheduling tasks on a work-stealing queue tends to flatten the stack first, eg. a halted task has a nearly empty stack if it's an async coroutine. The scheduler itself may have 3-4 calls deep before resuming the task itself, so that doesn't seem too bad. Unless you're talking about full blown threads.
If we’re going to go back to geoengineering the atmosphere there are probably much less harmful ways to do it.

I believe there’s a solution where ships just spray sea water into the atmosphere.
One of the last times my parents moved, they sent me this big box they had of papers from my childhood.

One of the ones that fascinated me was dated from when I was in 2nd grade. It was a big printout with rows and columns. Some of them contained numbers, but most of them just said "PHS."

It was an oddly folded poster-size thing, and once I finally got it open, I found out the numbers were grade levels, and "PHS" stood for "Post High School."

I had been 8 when I sat for this test. My parents had staunchly refused to accelerate my education.

And they continued to refuse for ten. more. years.

I might recommend that parents not send their children proof if they went out of their way to stymie them.
My experience as well, it used to be bad, it's okay now.
Inform looks very interesting, though I will apparently have to do a lot more reading before I can totally grok what it is and why.

I've been working on an idea I am calling the Story Empathizer. The struggle I'm having is that my idea is so abstract, it's hard to write an instance of it.

story = meaning + expression

In the world of computing, context is liminal. We write explicit answers to "what?" and "how?", and call them "data" and "algorithms". Those answers are entirely meaningful: defined. Context, on the other hand, is ethereal: untouchable. Context is the answer to "why?". It exists in our code like the waters of a river exist in the walls of the Grand Canyon: only present at time of writing. We encode our intentions into software just like a river carves time into earth. There is no inverse function: no intention decoder.

When we communicate with natural language, we start without shared context. If I want to be understood, I must share my context. I do that by writing a second story: a backstory. The reader uses that backstory to define the meaning of my expression.

With shared context, we aren't limited to reading. We have all the parts of the equation, and can use them to read, write, and empathize.

read: meaning = story - expression
write: expression = story - meaning

So what if we could move this process out of our brains, and into a computer? Well, that's the dream, anyway..

Great article. Hybrid search works well for a lot of scenarios.

The tradeoffs of using existing systems vs building your own resonate with me. What we eventually experienced, however, is that periods of bad search performance often correlated to out-of-date search indices.

I'd be interested in another article detailing how you monitor search. It can be tricky to keep an entire search system moving.

>Which will be running on Windows Enterprise deployments

There are many companies which run Windows-specific software which do not even have an in-house IT department, let alone run Enterprise edition on corporately-deployed machines.

Stack Overflow trends isn't really a good metric, but setting that aside, you need to sum the time series for Swagger and OpenAPI. There's still plenty of people who call OpenAPI 3.0 "Swagger". And strictly speaking, Swagger is "OpenAPI 2.0".

I had a kidney stone, and had to be transferred from Hospital A to Hospital B for a procedure, as A didn't have a urologist available.

I was transported by ambulance.

At the destination hospital, a transporter (person with a gurney) was waiting at the ambulance bay and I was moved from ambulance gurney to hospital gurney and wheeled into surgery. I did not go through registration or admission in the ER. I did not speak to a provider in the ER. I was not put in a room, nor was a room allocated for me. But because the physical transfer happened (in the -hallway-, mind you) of the ER, they tried to bill my insurance for a $3,800 ER incident, on top of the OR and procedure costs.
It's kinda the opposite imo. In terms of game consoles, Proton/Wine is showing that you can have a successful commercial product (Steam Deck) that's all about gaming on Linux and most AAA games just work out of the box. However, lots of professionals are still using Windows for all sorts of business activity, Microsoft Office, and so on. Many industries with specialized software (CAD, engineering, etc) are still completely locked to Windows with no indication that this is ever going to change.

Or it means that QuickBooks is running into issues, and there is no in-house IT department to troubleshoot it, so they call up QuickBooks support.

https://grugbrain.dev/#grug-on-dry

grug begin feel repeat/copy paste code with small variation is better than many callback/closures passed arguments or elaborate object model: too hard complex for too little benefit at times

hard balance here, repeat code always still make grug stare and say "mmm" often, but experience show repeat code sometimes often better than complex DRY solution

something i have learned the hard way is that DRYing out too fast paints you into architectural corners you don't even know are there yet.

Yes, you’re right. There are certainly other aspects that would require change too.

But the point is the same: we only transitioned recently, so going back is a known quantity - and now we know exactly how it will impact the worldwide climate. Do any other current geoengineering projects have a directly tangible blueprint?
QuickBooks online doesn't seem to need Windows. Since it works from apps, I assume it works from macOS as well.

Fusion360 works on macOS and has been pounding the hell out of SolidWorks in the small business sector.
Technically QuickBooks is no longer available outside of a web browser connected to Intuit's servers.
Body Modifications to Become a 'Black Alien'
I don't know how I'd find out. It isn't marked. I picked it up for 10€ in France almost 20 years ago, and while it's my favorite pen I've ever written with, I don't hand write things enough that I ever got really into pens such that I could figure it out. I would need the pen hospital to identify what kind of fixing it needed.
In such case I think I'd go for an internal-DRYing + copy-on-write approach. That is, two identical classes or entry points, one for each format; internally, they'd share all the common code. Over time, if something changes in one format but not the other, that piece of code gets duplicated and then changed, so the other format retains the original code, which it now owns.
Also referenced a number of times in the excellent Hannibal series.
> the commercial desktop OS market is a duopoly

No, it's not. I've been happily running Linux on my personal machines for more than two decades.

> what about those who rely on software that is only available on Windows and macOS?

Matlab is the software in question in this particular case, and as others have already posted, it runs on Linux.

Even for particular software that might be Windows/Mac only, there are almost always functional equivalents that run on Linux. For example, OpenOffice (and later LibreOffice, which is what I run now) as an alternative to MS Office.

I have had plenty of opportunity for comparison because, for all the time I have been running Linux on my personal machines, I have had to use Windows at work. I have always had much more hassle with my work machines, and if I had a dollar for every time I have had the thought that, if only my employer would switch to Linux on desktops, my work life would be so much easier and my productivity would be better, I'd be retired now. And that's not even counting all the times I have had the thought that if my employer would run Linux on servers instead of Microsoft crapware, our IT infrastructure would be so much more robust.

The one example I have seen in this discussion of software that is truly limited to Windows/Mac is Solidworks. But that's a particular product for a particular niche, not a general office application.
First time I’ve heard Google being blamed for Mozilla’s self inflicted problems. Google is highly incentivised to make sure Mozilla survives with some reasonable market share. Without Mozilla antitrust enforcement becomes much more likely. That’s why Google pays Mozilla for being the default search engine provider. That’s the main source of revenue for Mozilla.

If Mozilla could maintain 10% market share in perpetuity and also keep signing search licensing agreements with Google that works just fine for Google. Sadly it has a lot less than that.
That extra 25% being unbearable self promotion makes it 100% more annoying.

Incels are lonely first, then addicted to the screen. It’s a self-feeding relationship but a balanced teen will always have someone reaching out, while the incel is lonely. The addiction to the screen comes because there is a void (lots of interesting social studies here).

By the way, public announcement: Don’t forget to ring up your relatives, knock on your neighbor’s door and spend some time doing public service talking to weird people (after evaluating the risk). It goes a long way in releasing tensions.
Because phones have become the command center for our lives.

Your FreeStyle Libre pings your phone when you have low blood sugar. When your watch detects a serious fall or a heart abnormality your phone calls emergency services. You use your phone to let the dog walker in, check the camera to see if you turned off the garden hose or left it running, use it to find your lost wallet/keys/bag, etc.

Childhood is where you teach positive behaviors and responsibility. Just chucking phones out the window to avoid the problem teaches nothing.
This is the same level of gotcha that everyone complains about when interviewing. It's mainly just depending on the interviewee having the same assumptions (pings definitely do not have to be icmp) and the same knowledge base, usually bespoke, (node.js peculiarities). I can see that an llm should know whether raw sockets are available, but that's not what you asked.

In fact you deliberately asked for something impossible and hold up undefined behavior as undefined like it's impugning something.
My mother cleans schools for a living, and she once remarked to me that most of the teaching staff in the grammar schools[1] she cleaned would avoid making conversation with the cleaners, and some would even avoid making eye contact, which was contrary to non-selective schools, where most of the teaching staff would make conversation with the cleaners.

[1] Grammar schools are academically-selective, state-funded schools in the UK and elsewhere—staff and students alike are generally of a higher socioeconomic milieu than in non-selective, state-funded schools.

The cheapest Apple Watch is only $250.. they could obviously sell one at a cheaper point via the Education portal if there was sufficient reason to (like a nationwide ban on cell phones).

Sometimes it’s a political win to lose in court. For example, if your party is arguing for reform of the Supreme Court, it helps when the court fails to rule in your favor. Your base can interpret that as evidence that the court is broken and needs fixing.
"Make frequent small queries and let a smart cache do the right thing every time" sounds like "make a perpetual motion machine". It just sounds like a fundamentally difficult problem with unavoidable tradeoffs. I admit I don't know the details of Apollo, but I find it hard to believe that a caching layer magically solves everything without introducing very gnarly bugs. A cache layer makes concurrent editing harder, for one.
"paste the URL of the content you want to analyze" -- Apparently this has been a problem where the content is restricted IP behind a login barrier, the URL contains an auth/login token, and the AI scrapes the restricted content without being authorized to do so. They have the right to get a judge to order you not to do that anymore. If your AI analyzes it and displays a summary, you are producing a derivative work, which is a copyright infringement, which means a judge will order you not to do that anymore.
