Can you give an example for streams not terminating when they should?

As for that cancel method, why is it a problem if it doesn’t use a variable? Like, there are also no-op methods inside standard libraries, these are very different to how you write ordinary code.

Also, Futures and green threads are not something to pivot between, they are different abstractions. And virtual threads locking up is pretty overblown of an issue, and always happened under some stupid workload, where normal threads would have locked up just as well.

Does java ship bugs? Of course, there is zero chance of shipping such a large project without bugs. But I do think that they have a tendency to re-think and wait for new features, before committing to them, and they actually commit to such decisions, remarkably so.
I see there's a progress.js file. Is this supposed to show a progress bar for some apps? Which linux app support this?
> Where is this part documented?

i don't have any example over this part. Maybe the OP has...

Still, a layered approach is great "on paper" (and probably the best actual solution we have atm), but it is only great in practice if it's well coded and the op is right that in lots of cases there are numerous flaws.

yes, you have failsafes on the layer bellow, but then again... it's just another "challenge" to find the flaw...

If we have a simple and effective code (à lá unix: do one thing, do it well), that has the possibility of becoming more effective that "flawed layers".

yeah... we can have multiple - simple - layers... but again... that will also raise the possibility of unforeseen flaws...

all in all: it's always a double-edged sword...

you're right and the op is right XP

(unless the layered approach is actually really really well coded!!! That's the ideal... but not many can do it!!! - i surely can't ahahah)
You're right, it is.

The advantage of a router is basically:
please always execute this code (auth, db connection, logging, session, rate limiting, csrf protection) before running the actual code for pages that will be rendered.

Or you could also just keep using normal page.php files and possibly include a boot.php at the top of the pages to achieve the same. But then you don't get pretty URLs unless you're doing some server URL rewriting.

Come to think of it, routers require URL rewriting too.
Ahh yes the “My ideas are so good that Apple will steal them so they aren’t worth doing”-argument.

I find this argument to be completely unrealistic. It’s like the people that want you to sign an NDA to talk about their idea.

Ideas are worth nothing, execution is everything. Yes, Apple might sherlock you but Apple has never and will never serve all the use cases people want (and that’s ok!). They often cover the 80% use-case which leaves room for third party apps to serve the power/niche users while Apple raises the bar for the category.

I use a ton of third party apps (and pay for them) that Apple has their own versions of because they cover my needs better than the stock apps. Drafts, Carrot, Things, CleanShotX (desktop), Annotatable, and the list goes on.

Just say you aren’t interested in mobile development, you aren’t good at it, or that you find it uninteresting. Don’t hide behind “Apple will steal my idea”.
This kind of access to information still brings up Stasi memories in lots of us, or PIDE/DGS, in my case.

But there are too many interests to make it in, sadly.
This time the proposal got canned because Germany said they would vote against it. Unless that changes it isn't going to make any progress.

A lot of Germans still remember the Stazi, so its pretty unlikely that this shit is going to pass.
I think Hungary recently has had some spats with the EU so maybe they will use the approval of Chat Control as some sort of trade with something else they want to keep doing.

Is there another reading of "If they had to use" that I'm not aware of? Seems to imply force either through legal or practical means.

I'm a user and a developer and neither of those descriptions seem to apply to the licenses being discussed. I benefit from both, as do you, as does the whole world.

I bet proprietary software vendors get a real chuckle out of this sort of infighting.

> how EU politics works

It's how any sovereign body must work. Putting something to a vote and failing demonstrates weakness, so it's avoided. And the body cannot be bound in deliberation. (Else it's not sovereign, but a vassal of whoever sets the agenda.)
I mean, AVX was buggy itself in plenty of hardware for a very long time, it’s not only on the software side.
Only the commission

But commission and council aren't acting in a void (parliament neither), if there's appetite for a legislation amongst national governments the commission will work on a proposal

The same works to a lesser extent with the commission and parliament as well
> the same people who never even put a bit of effort to try and understand the concept of the new gnome desktop

Why are you so dismissive? A desktop environment should aid intuitively the user, not have the user search for information to "get" the desktop.

These are probably the people that still haven't been for long on the GNOME train, and still trying to make it fit their classical interpretation of a desktop. It's classic for a reason, because it worked, and GNOME 2 was peak GNOME.

It's just a matter of time before they stop fighting it and switch to a different DE, or accept the default. And when that group settles, you're going to have another influx of GNOME users, that don't get why it doesn't behave like a classic DE and will try to tweak it to match one.
I won't trust the guy adding the concept of love to statistical systems. It screams savior complex.
Mmm somewhat, yes. Recognizing a flaw/a need for a change and enacting it is not instantaneous under the best of circumstances.
> the proposal got canned because Germany said they would vote against it

Both the far left and right in Germany are against this, correct?
Yeah, but I was just thinking that the sudden curve would jank your head quite a bit, compared to easing into it.
No, it's the acceleration. That's what produces the forces. But there is usually a correlation between jerk and acceleration in a collision, given a certain amount of energy (speed^2)
I see, good point.

Although my feeling is that typescript’s idea of a type system living on a separate plane was one of the greatest ideas of all time. Never felt so good about something that is basically js. With strict semantics like Rust/C++/Zig/Go it would be just a weaker clone of those with all the usual strings attached.

We started selling services in earnest alongside our SaaS product this year, and it’s working out well. We didn’t think of doing this during ZIRP; it was relatively easier to invest in more rapid product development.
The Council is as much part of the EU institution and as legitimate a part of them as the Parliament

There's no avatar of the EU manifesting out of thin air in brussels so it makes sense for the EU as a whole to bear the blame for the actions it takes, regardless of where it originated
What would you be doing instead at 80, if not working on a project?
If that's the point, then in the context of bootcamps preparing people to be professional programmers it's a bit...well, pointless. Writing a program of any sort is something anyone who can use a keyboard to write "print(10)" can do, but that doesn't suggest the only thing separating that group from professional programmers is the inclination to spend time on it.
No, I bought the place cash, but it meant any subsequent buyers couldn't get a mortgage. What you're describing has in fact been a huge problem for other people with thatched roofs in Ireland.

Upon reflection, I do share the physicists' annoying-to-everyone-else habit of believing I can take subjects upon which books worth of ink have been spilled, do some Procrustean projection, and address them (to zeroth order, anyway?) reasonably with dozens of symbols.

They also had nice features like conditional type inference right ?
It’s doublespeak. Orbán is not interested in making Europe or the EU any stronger, just in extracting as much as he can from it. He only cares about Hungary.

However, it is a signal (we cannot really talk of dog whistle here, it’s rather obvious) to other far-right parties with similar nationalist agenda that he’s on their side. So a better reading might be “make [individual countries in] Europe great again”.
Thank you. This is a refreshing take on much of human interaction.

As a teacher in middle school I see this demonstrated throughout my classes. I have even started collecting data points on how many times a week a topic or topic adjacent to another topic crops up as discussions in my class. There are almost always heated discussions, but in the end we typically come to an understanding about facts or how we can’t truly know fully situations. There are of course some holds outs, but for the majority we find understanding or compromise.
That doesn't clear anything up.

Wow! But can you vary how you build each type - all letters seem to follow the same recipe
I understand where you are coming from, but it is a very good signal for the team. The easiest way to get the desired feedback would probably be to adequately address to the current community concern.
From a programming perspective, it would have been cooler if the font generation was automatic at the cost of a bit of quality. This might have allowed for more interesting variation, lowercase, and support of other symbols.

There is nothing less anoying than seeing a really custom font repeat a letter.

This is a good point and I'm certainly subject to this.

I read the most about topics that have no clear objective truth. Mostly around Sociology, Psychology and Politics.

Engineering principles I have a deep knowledge of do not attract my attention other than to clear up someone's misconceptions.
Ubuntu, probably the most popular distro, has this type of extension as a default.
No, it's the acceleration. The forces are absolutely different between your two examples. The energy is the same, but in one case the energy is dissipated over a longer time, requiring less acceleration and thus force. Jerk and acceleration will tend to be correlated in collisions, but you can construct cases with very high jerk and low acceleration which are just fine and cases with very high acceleration and low jerk which are not at all safe, though the latter case will generally require a lot more energy (fighter jets and rockets, for example).
This is the typical utopian dream that is complete horse manure. We like to look back and think how quaint and healthy things were but they were not. While there are a lot of improvements to be had in our current supply chain, going back to smaller farms is not the way to get there.

What you described would be more costly and I don't think there is really any relationship to health. Your food would end up being more expensive as most of the things you listed cost very little in the grand scheme, labor is the most expensive part.

> If an LLM can predict the next word without doing a critical evaluation, then it raises the question of what the intelligent people are doing

Well certainly: in the mind ideas can be connected tentatively by affinity, and they become hypotheses of plausible ideas, but then in the "intelligent" process they are evaluated to see if they are sound (truthful, useful, productive etc.) or not.

Intelligent people perform critical evaluation, others just embrace immature ideas passing by. Some "think about it", some don't (they may be deficient in will or resources - lack of time, of instruments, of discipline etc.).
Yes so I see your point, it'd need a pre-sort by height which is a double iteration of the arrays.
> Therefore, the 2019 finding in a Roman mausoleum in Carmona, southern Spain, of an ash urn roughly 2000 years old, containing a reddish liquid, was rather exceptional and unexpected. An archaeochemical study of the liquid allowed it to be deemed the oldest ancient wine conserved in the liquid state.

This is remarkable to me. What a find! Am I alone in being super, super surprised that it remained in liquid form this long? Does that suggest a very perfect seal on the urn?
Being a child from Portuguese revolution, and witness of how the Berlin wall went down, it is really bad that newer generations don't have any sense of what it meant to live during those days, and vote into such parties with protest votes nonsense.
According to the article: thanks to a grant from the NLnet foundation under the NGI Zero Core program, Pre-Scheme can continue to be developed. It's supposed to be a C alternative. Currently, it compiles to C, has a Hindley Milner type system, macros, and it can run in a Scheme REPL. And they have a roadmap of features now.

This is pretty cool, and it's generous of them to grant them funding, but (and I'm not trying to be rude) I wonder why they chose to give a grant for Pre-Scheme specifically. This seems only loosely related to the goals of the NGI Zero Core program (linked in the article):

"The next generation internet initiative envisions the information age will be an era that brings out the best in all of us. We want to enable human potential, mobility and creativity at the largest possible scale – while dealing responsibly with our natural resources. In order to preserve and expand the European way of life, the programme helps shape a value-centric, human and inclusive Internet for all."

...

"We want a more resilient, trustworthy and open internet. We want to empower end-users. Given the speed at which the 'twin transition' is taking place, we need a greener internet and more sustainable services sooner rather than later. Neither will happen at global scale without protocol evolution, which — as the case of three decades of IPv6 introduction demonstrates — is extremely challenging. NGI0 Core is designed to push beyond the status quo and create a virtuous cycle of innovation through free and open source software, libre hardware and open standards. If we want everyone to use and benefit from the internet to its full potential without holding back, the internet must be built on strong and transparent technologies that allow for permissionless innovation and are equally accessible to all."

> It has no chance to be rejected and gone for good?

Not really. Besides, how would that work? Wouldn’t a new law proposal be just that, a new proposal to be debated and voted on, even if its intent or wording is similar to a previous rejected proposal? Is there any country with the equivalent of dismissal with prejudice for new laws?
the issue i think is not the design but more the fabs. there are too many designs and not enough sub 10nm fabs
Do you know which CPU cores was it buggy in for a very long time? The ones that everyone uses had flawless support for more than a decade.

In either case, I don't see how that disproves the argument that support of hardware features like AVX in a runtime comparable to JVM can be done well.

(though I'm biased to say low-level features are a weak point of JVM and a strong point of .NET, you don't have to sacrifice high-level convenience in other areas to get that)
I'm far from an expert in German politics, but there are obvious historical reasons why Germans like the idea of having a right to privacy.
> a HUD visual would have the same context switch

I disagree. With visual I can choose to look at the directions whenever I want to whereas an audio cue comes out of no where and is distracting to me. I can filter out my phone in my car showing directions and look over at the phone mount whenever I need to but I always turn of audio cues because they drive me crazy when they interrupt what I’m thinking about and/or listening to.
So, the new design has smaller API surface area and more possibilities for late binding, that's nice.
Money talks. A decade ago a good portion of people could speak Russian in Da Nang because of the large number of Russian tourists that come to vacation on the beaches.
You can quickly populate the search box by tapping any word (or highlighting on desktop) in the hybrid dictionary/thesaurus.

There's some sort of fetishism of systems and technology on the internet and especially in technical forums like HN where people have this idea that technical solutions can fix social issues

Governance systems have mostly been unchanged at their core for the past 100-200 years and people are under the impression that makes them somewhat antiquated so we definitely can fix this with some good code and automated judging.

It helps that that's much easier than having to accept the responsibility of being involved and proactively interested in the work of institutions which most people find boring and not worth the effort to learn about
Updated the section on query resolution to be more explicit about datasources + join inference - thank you for the feedback, and let me know if that helps! I'll try to get a more detailed section on that further on to really dig into it.

This was always going to fail because the requirements were insane: solving SQL, XML and JSON generation should have never been part of the spec. There are hundreds, if not thousands of libraries for the those cases.

The developers should have never tried to boil the ocean: simple Kotlin or Scala style interpolation with overloading `+` for concatenation is the 80% use case here. Yes it doesn’t do everything. But it makes life a lot more ergonomic. And they rejected this solution out of hand! So instead of something useful but not perfect we get nothing.

It's supply and demand. 75% of Americans can be classified as overweight or obese. For $150, I can get a doctor to write me a prescription. If I have that much money to throw around for "cosmetic" medication, it makes sense that the drug companies are going to increase their prices to take advantage of middle-class/rich Americans with too much disposable income.

This is also a side effect of the USAs lack of government subsidized healthcare. The gatekeeper to any treatment you want in America is $$$. That's fine for some things, but this is another aspect of that paradigm.

Here in the Netherlands, we've having discussions in the government about taxing or limiting certain types of unhealthy foods because it is lowering health outcomes AND it costs the government a lot more if everyone becomes metabolically unhealthy at 45 instead of 75 because their diet is crap.

Until the paradigm changes, drug companies will keep milking Americans for all they're worth.

“Nearby” is doing a lot of work there. The presumed flight path of MH370 went tens of thousands of kilometres from Diego Garcia, certainly outside the range of even the latest over-the-horizon radars. Meanwhile the tracking stations on that base are mostly focused on space activity and missile launches.

No amount of money can break the laws of physics and, like any sensor, radar has fundamental limits in range and resolution. MH370 flew into one of the most remote parts of the ocean it’s possible to reach, it would’ve been a miracle if it was tracked by any radar.
Mostly agree, but often parliaments are a place to make a point to the observing voters and some things are proposed with the full knowledge that they will be rejected. The proposer though turns to the public and says: "I made a promise and I deliver, but the other side is stopping us from implementing it. So, please, vote for me next time in grater numbers to give me the ability to pass it the second time." Also, when you have a bigger assembly, last minute twists happen for unexpected reasons like a coalition partner deciding to screw their partners and ruin their agenda.
