Yeah, no one can afford to have me use Visual Studio.

Performance isn't a pain point for me. Currently I'm developing a crude ETL tool that does a lot of string stuff and a typical run produces hundreds of thousands of PDF files, unoptimised it finishes in less than an hour on my late middle age laptop. I might not even spend time chasing cycles because I can keep a rather fast development cadence anyway. For excellent performance in network services I reach for the BEAM.

Wildfly is an application server. Kestrel would, as far as I can tell, be comparable to Tomcat or Jetty.

Having spent some time migrating away from Oracle DB but never having managed to convince an organisation to move off MICROS~1 I'm pretty sure the latter are better at it. If I get to decide neither liability becomes a dependency.
I miss the times before planned obsolesce was a thing.
The article studies properties of a nationalist group, which is in extreme minority, especially after 2010s, and doesn’t make claims that ‘most Russians are nationalists’.

You have to lurk really hard to find a nationalist there unless you count people love Dostoyevsky into this group. There are also a lot of glass ceilings in place for ethnical Russians, and distribution in elite universities, politics, and business don’t represent the country average, which suggests there’s an intentional ’reverse racism’ in place towards majority. Moreover, the word ‘Russian’ is banned in media and is replaced by ‘citizen of Russia’.
Given how we as a society are now having significant second thoughts as to the net utility for everybody having a display in their pocket for all awake time, I also have some doubts.
Not at all. I think those docs showed that they have much better capabilities and collection, targeting and delivery platforms than what people had assumed at the time but there was zero evidence that I’m aware of where they were misusing that to go after illegitimate targets. I think the most controversial thing on that front from memory was Angela Merkel and other EU heads of state which inside of an intelligence agency isn’t particularly controversial at all, that’s just doing your job.
Yep, Flutter performance absolutely _sucks_ on older hardware, which they obviously aren't testing on.
Why not? Some people are hacking on 30+ year old 8 bit systems... just for the fun of it.
are there limits to the growth (other than the obvious land limitations which only exists in certain parts and the dark winters for some places)? like certain expensive materials that will get harder to find, or where production is limited and can't easily scale up?
Is there a single example of this ever happening that you could point to?
It sets my expectations. Sometimes you hear a lot about a project because it's a vaporware scam, and I'm reassured that's not happening here. I should expect to see lots of excited people posting about it because they enjoy working on it, and it's delivering on that value even without much production usage.
Renewing with the current vendor and/or being bribed I can understand.

Recommendations from colleagues who used it at a previous company can be so bullshit. We had someone heavily recommend Monday for ticket management, and oh god was it awful. It made me miss JIRA.

> I had a conversation with Claude where I asked it to reverse engineer some assembly code and it did it perfectly on the first try. I was stunned

I share the same experience with you but with Claude 3 Sonnet. I can’t count how many times I’ve shared some code with Claude with barely any hope because other GPTs failed aswell, yet, Claude surprised me and performed the task with success.

I’ve actually reached to the point that I expressed my gratitude to Claude because of how well it performs on coding tasks and other tasks in general. I don’t know what Anthropic did, but something did they right.

Being able to handle large amounts of tokens, “understand” and perform tasks on it & spit out large amounts of data back with barely any cut-offs (unlike Gemini) has made me feel like Claude is at the moment the best option.
You say that and yet they continue to use it and are choosing to do so even when it means rewriting huge and complicated bits of software from scratch.

What something from over a decade has to do with its value today I’m not sure.
So Earth spinning very fast
that's because the cost of nuclear includes every possible cost, while for everything else we only include the immediate costs. for example, oil and gas have only been so cheap for so long because we didn't include the cost of climate adaptation, mass migration, geoengineering, etc.
Interesting that this is flagged. It is not something political.
Sure, there are forks such as LibreWolf. I understand the reservations regarding Mozilla Foundation, although I generally like what they've been doing. Every org has people with stupid ideas. However, the way I see it, it's unlikely that the community will be able to produce a competitive browser in a broader sense (stability, performance, security, cross-platform...), meaning that the likelihood of Firefox being still around ten years from now is significantly higher than that we build and maintain a comparable browser ourselves. Then come the evolving web standards and lobbying power...
I think this should work well though I might try and flip the Home language every few years since you want them to be tri-lingual. I don't have any kids yet, but my plan is to speak the less common language where we live at home and then the other language out in the world. That seems to be the approach many friends have taken as well to good effect.

Assuming these languages are actually English, Spanish and German, I would find a local club in the minority language and make some local friends where you can speak that language and your kid can come along for the ride.
By that same argument, you could also make security patches exclusive to the enterprise version for a certain amount of time after they've been released.

Only big corporations need security, after all, if a small company gets hacked, well, they should've paid more?

What kind of late-stage capitalism is that? You're knowingly selling an insecure version and somehow it's the customer's fault they didn't buy the "actual security" addon?
If there's "plenty of space left" then I dread to think what the sky is going to be like in the future! I never imagined I'd be part of the last generation to see a night sky that isn't full of satellites.

I'm starting to think more and more these problems with mental health we are seeing in young people are due to them being raised essentially in captivity. There's nowhere to go, no frontier left to conquer. Everything is full: the land is full, the sea is full and now even the sky is full.

As for the benefits, access to information and services is obviously a good thing, but we all know that it's really going to be access to social media and ads. I'm no longer convinced access to the internet is an absolute good.
>Worth noting that you aren’t ever going to be on the receiving end of NSA malware by accident.

How did you get across the Darian Gap?
True, if you rewrite the code, then that would even work via a simple injection of

after each line, where 123 is the line number.

Could be a fun project to write a bookmarklet that does this to the current page, then lets you use it and then tells you which parts of the code have not been used.

Modern philosophy in its philosophical classes might be, but it's originally meant to be truth seeking. Pragmatic philosophy has simply evolved into math. You have math, you prove the logic.

Everything outside philosophy and science is religion. Not to say it's necessarily wrong. But with religion you start with a dogma. With philosophy you start with none. And you have to prove everything according to the dogma. If the dogma seems incorrect, then the assumptions that lead to this dogma are wrong; so you have sects around which parts of the dogma are most correct, and so on.

Buddhism is, to my understanding, something where the dogma is easily proven or disproven by doing the meditation, but doing that much meditation is not accessible to everyone. And so it lies in the realm of religion where you trust in the monks who have done it and build off that.
No modernity for me, thank you! Now every time I add a component to my PC, it's a different color than the rest. It looks like a zebra, I swear.

Back then it was just "new" beige and "yellow-ish old worn" beige.

I have very different feeling a about the FBI compared to everyone else precisely because their track record has given me reasons to suggest that they have way less oversight than others but the picture is actually pretty nuanced and you’re just throwing out random shit here that there’s nothing really to have a conversation about other than I think you should actively look into the checks and balances in place within the IC because even though HN likes to pretend that it’s totally unaccountable and they will go after anyone that just isn’t true at all.
That some aspects of grammar can be captured by statistical analysis was never really in dispute. The OP is slightly confused about the hierarchy part. Chomsky never said that you couldn't discover by statistical analysis that languages have a hierarchical structure. He rather said that a baby, based on the data it has available, would not be able to determine statistically that certain rules of grammar are defined over this structure rather than over the linear sequence of words.

I do not understand your motivations here: inventing new Internet protocols, apparently intentionally misusing terminology, etc.

Maybe this is meant to be funny, or sarcastic/ironic, or performance art, or something else; I can't tell. What it is not is helpful, informative, or clear.
> I call bs on the second part. It's not unhealthy food that makes you gain weight, it's how much food you have.

I'd argue that unhealthy food can cause a person to eat more. See for example https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(19)...

> On top of that, the healthiest foods are among the cheapest foods you can buy.

The usual argument here calls out "bulk beans and rice" instead of potatoes and chicken, but in both cases you aren't going to find that in a gas station or convince store which for many Americans (some 40+ million) is the only place they can get groceries. If they're getting chicken it's not going to be whole and uncooked. It'll be sold in a plastic bag leaching PFAS into the food and be coated in high fructose corn syrup (most packaged lunch meats have sugar or HFCS added). Those kinds of places tend to have very little fresh fruit and veg as well.

If you're looking at cost per calorie unhealthy food will often win out as less costly, not just in terms of money but also time and effort. Someone who works two jobs and spends hours sitting on or walking to/from the bus isn't always going to have the energy or time to roast a chicken. It's easy to see why they'd choose what's fastest, highly satisfying, requires less preparation and clean up, and is inexpensive.

Not that I'm suggesting that the 72% of Americans who are obese/overweight have those kinds of problems... just that you'll find more Americans who are in that position than you'll find somewhere like the UK.

I found the study on the decrease in BMR. That's pretty wild and if true, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a factor in the obesity problem.

Slovak children usually grow up with Czech narrated cartoons, so they are able to understand Czech more easily. I heard that Czech children does not receive this language training for Slovak, so they have a harder time understanding Slovak language. I never "learned" Czech in school but I watched a lot of cartoons as a child (born '93) and read books in Czech so I have no problem understanding Czech language as a Slovak. I have a hard time understanding Polish though, never clicked for me.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Anthropic's AI model is competing with GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5
On the v8 engine's blog, it is claimed that most of its vulnerabilities are caused by logic issues which Rust wouldn't help with.

Perhaps it's a similar situation for Ladybird.

>Memory safety remains a relevant problem: all Chrome exploits caught in the wild in the last three years (2021 – 2023) started out with a memory corruption vulnerability in a Chrome renderer process that was exploited for remote code execution (RCE). Of these, 60% were vulnerabilities in V8.

> V8 vulnerabilities are rarely "classic" memory corruption bugs (use-after-frees, out-of-bounds accesses, etc.) but instead subtle logic issues which can in turn be exploited to corrupt memory. As such, existing memory safety solutions are, for the most part, not applicable to V8. In particular, neither switching to a memory safe language, such as Rust, nor using current or future hardware memory safety features, such as memory tagging, can help with the security challenges faced by V8 today.

See: https://v8.dev/blog/sandbox
That isn’t the relevant bit. If decarbonisation is your aim, you build both as quickly as you can.

The fact that “the all-in cost of the electricity they produce promises to be less than half as expensive as the cheapest available today” is what sinks nukes. Burn fossil fuels longer, be judicious in adding gas so batteries have a chance to take hold (we’ve already fucked this up in Europe and America), and accept that while the transition will be dirtier you’ll have a cheaper grid in the end.

That said, just as decarbonisation isn’t the only variable, LCOE isn’t either. Australia will have to maintain a nuclear fleet for military purposes. Taking into account that sunk cost, a civilian fleet’s math might change. (I’m doubtful, but maybe.)
The problem with Flutter is that it's a UI framework that relies on a single main thread. If you put something heavy there, you'll get lag. In contrast, other languages like SwiftUI let you easily spawn threads. Flutter dismisses this as outdated and instead promotes an isolated model with completely separate memory... for reasons.

I think the point is the opposite; they have decided to build a new "web stack" from scratch, not just build a new "browser" (or invent a new GUI framework). Hopefully the web engine is not deeply tied to Qt, but you need something in order to draw an interactive window. The article mentions that they will also use existing libraries for things like font rendering. Seems like a pragmatic decision to me.

How could you claim that without (a) having insider knowledge of the secret activities of the FISA court and (b) violating some sort of legal restriction on publicising your knowledge of said court? One of the major complaints about the US surveillance program (indeed any surveillance program) is almost nobody is allowed to know who the targets are or why.

> I think the most controversial thing on that front from memory was Angela Merkel and other EU heads of state

And I think the most controversial target to date was actually Trump.

My SO and I were raised respectively in the UK and France. We both speak fluent French and English.

My first child understands english perfectly, but replies in French, and my second is too young yet to say any word, but she understands both languages.

Now we've moved to France and found ourselves speaking more and more in French to each other, and -unfortunately- our household is now speaking mostly French rather than keeping English in the mix. But this makes me think maybe we should all speak English at home now that French is acquired by my eldest... not sure!
