Ends up being a total non-issue in the real world. I use it for a mission-critical CLI application called by a number of backend systems. I use snake_case for virtually everything save for object type names. There is no global scope and modules keep most symbols segregated. I have yet to have a symbol collision issue. I get to use foreign package symbols in my own style. On multi-dev projects I'd expect a style to be enforced, and given module segregation, a collision should be fairly simple to suss out. Especially if you use `from module import nil` and force module name qualification.
If anyone reading this was wondering, like me, "how can I automate diff'ing about:preferences to scan for new checkboxes that were inserted and opted-in without my knowledge?"—you can track the zip archive browser/omni.ja in the Firefox install root, and diff this specific file inside that archive (en-US for example),

localization/en-US/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl

Which is a plain-text localization file whose version diff will, in this example, contain:

1274,1282d1217
< website-advertising-header = Website Advertising Preferences
<
< website-advertising-private-attribution =
< .label = Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement
< .accesskey = a
<
< website-advertising-private-attribution-description = This helps sites understand how their ads perform without collecting data about you.
<

It might be pragmatic to run this as an OS hook of some kind! Pop a short warning dialog every time Firefox adds a checkbox. Probably much shorter than the complete patch notes.

> Nobody’s surname needs 128+ bytes

Oh we're doing that "false things that programmers believe about the world" again! Fun! Let's consider cultures where people can have more than one surname. Ever heard about Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso? Yes, that's his full name. Of course, he didn't frequently use it, but if you make a system dealing with people's names, you'd eventually end up having to support something like that.
How do you mount cue+bin on Windows 10? There is quite a number of apps advertised for this but I'm curious which one is the most trustworthy nowadays, also if there is a legitimate (no adware/spyware/etc) free one to use when I need only one virtual drive, no burning nor network features.
I don’t really understand why this is possible or if the information in this article is fully true. It doesn’t make sense why we can’t just go around the pbms.

Ask HN: How to Delete a Ticketmaster Account?
Hello, after recent issues with TicketMaster, I was going to delete my account. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm unable to find how to do, and the only option I see on their support is "send a letter to <address>". Isn't this one of the worse and most offensive dark patterns that exists? or in the digital era, this is in someway justifiable?
I'm not sure that's a great solution though, because all the domains would use the same mail server which would basically instantly flag your domain and all your addresses as disposable.
Presumably the idea is, for example, sorting? In which case you do have to read the entire input before you can do anything. But the way I'd do that is to read the entire stdin to a single String, then work with &str pointers to it.

It's a different approach. Coolify is a container management platform with CI/CD integration. Tau is meant for developers, and Git is the only way to make changes. Moreover, Tau can handle compute, storage, pub-sub, and more. Note that, besides CI/CD, Tau cannot orchestrate containers currently.

So, being fully featured truly depends on your intended use case.
> Intelligence appears in gradients, not a simple binary.

Sure, I'm in no way countering such a notion and your snarky comment is a gross mischaracterization of my comment. So far off I have a difficult time believing it isn't intentional.

The "surprise" is not that plants, animals, or even women turn out to be intelligent under the definition of "collection of experiences" but that rocks have intelligence, atom, photons, and even more confusingly groups of photons, the set of all doors, the set of all doors that such that only one door per city exists in the same set. Or any number of meta collections. This is the controversial part, not women being intelligent. Plants are still up for debate, but I'm very open to a broad definition of intelligence.

But the issue is that I, and the general fields of cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, and essentially everyone except for a subset of computer scientists, agree that intelligence is more than a collection of experiences (including if that collection has memory). In other words, it is more than a Turing Machine. What that more is, is debated but it is still generally agreed upon that intelligence requires abstraction, planning, online learning, and creativity. But all these themselves have complicated nuanced definitions that are much more than what the average person thinks they mean. But that's a classic issue where academics use the same words normal people do but have far more restrictions on their meaning. Which often confuses the average person when they are unwilling to accept this fact that words can have different meanings under different contexts (despite that we all do this quite frequently and such a concept exists in both our comments).
One of humanity’s greatest accomplishments is putting huge cities in spots where we really have no business living - I mean just look at Vegas. The world itself is actively discouraging us from setting up shop there, but humans are like naaaahhhhh just slap some concrete over it, it’ll be fine.

Nobody really likes to think about the consequences of building in spaces where it’s not well-suited to human habitation at that scale - or about who too-commonly pays the price.

No, I don't have a "problem"; I just have a different opinion than you do.

But your problem IS: you refuse to admit when you've been proven wrong. You made a statement; I demonstrated it was incorrect. Game over.
I think you can look at this another way.

You can't point to a single clinical trial that shows the drug has any effect.

If it did, it would literally be a multi-billion dollar windfall for Merck, a major pharma company.

Why would they have not done a trial? Why would Merck hold back?

Off label is absolutely a thing, but not a long-term thing. Ozempic was off label in use for weight loss, but you can be damn sure the second Novo Nordisk discovered the weight loss opportunity, they sunk a ton of money on studies to make it available with a prescription.

No need to postulate platonic forms. All we need is the idea that there are real patterns to be mapped. The idea that distinct nets can share a representational space is around at least since Laakso And Cottrell published their "Content and cluster analysis: assessing representational similarity in neural systems" in 2000. If you look for "representational similarity analysis" you'll find more research about it.
What is a comment like this doing on HN
I gave it some thought but it's hard to say. For most of the ones I missed and mentioned in sibling threads, I can think of people who'd be aware of them:

- Probably <ruby> and related tags are used in Japanese and other spheres with such a language feature

- <base> I knew of, I thought archive.org used it but apparently not currently. Probably if you work with archived or otherwise namespaced content, you can reasonably find this a very familiar element

- <track> if you're a media person, doesn't seem that outlandish

- <dfn> I knew of basically, but just couldn't recall the names for glossary tags

- <kbd> is used all the time on Superuser (in Markdown, where HTML is valid though of course they filter most of it)

- Some others that I didn't remember, like <template> and <article>, were just stupidity. I know these...

This leaves <del> and <ins>. There are enough diffing tools, but it's not as big a category of software people constantly work on, especially since this is only for browsers. I'd not be surprised if these are the most-forgotten elements

Or does anyone still use <map>? I saw it in the HTML tutorial (linked from a Dutch magazine) that got me into programming so I know of it and remembered while doing the quiz, but it's fairly far faded from my mind and I'm not sure anyone would ever use it when, if you want this sort of functionality, you'd probably want the versatility of JavaScript

Fascinating. Now I wonder why jewelers don't always just work in sealed containers with vacuums like what is used for sand blasting.

Stereotypical take pandering to (and fostering) age discrimination. Honestly - I feel like this article is just another salvo in the divisive 'generations war'.

I have many friends and family who share events, experiences, and ideas on Facebook every day. Many of the groups share cherished memories (or interesting trivia) of beloved hometowns, attractions (such as amusement parks), natural settings, and pop culture.

Many of us who use it are aware of the bot problem and of the content posted to stoke outrage (aka "engagement"). But that doesn't negate the living and vital community interactions happening there.
sorry about that. it's true our doc is so so... we're working on it.
Doesn’t that sound somewhat similar to hoping pharmaceuticals strike partnerships with African warlords to test what could one day be some new amazing drug. It just sounds grossly unethical so as to directly extract profits from intentional human harm on a large scale.

I suspect I would feel completely different about this if the Israeli military weren’t currently in a conflict indiscriminately killing dozens or hundreds of civilians as collateral damage in pursuit of single targets, or if they weren’t intentionally and illegally taking land from people in an area that isn’t a conflict zone at all.
I want back the UX of electronics from twenty years ago, with physical knobs and dials. Spare me the glitchy touch screens on kitchen appliances that can't be operated with wet fingers. Spare me the cheap pseudo buttons without a noticeable click point on washing machines. I don't want to wait multiple seconds after pushing the power "button" to see if the device just lags or if I didn't push hard enough. I don't want a TV that needs minutes to boot android, only to overlay what I want to see with ads benefiting the manufacturer. I don't want to wait a minute after starting the car before I can configure the heating... on a touch screen that first makes me accept the ToS.
I'd much rather the ongoing game of cat and mouse than... this creation, honestly. It's entirely practical. I haven't seen significant advertising in forever. HN dogfood is the most of it

Grid-tied solar inverters, as a general rule, do not (cannot) output any power at all in the absence of grid power.

The act of plugging in a normal grid-tied solar inverter with a regular ass-plug[0] is just exactly as safe as plugging in any other electrical appliance is.

(There are other concerns, but the physical plug is not amongst them.)

The belief that a normal number must eventually contain itself arises from extremely flawed thinking about probability. Like djkorchi mentioned above, if we knew pi = 3.14....pi..., that would mean pi = 3.14... + 10^n pi for some n, meaning (1 - 10^n) pi = 3.14... and pi = (3.14...) / (1 - 10^n), aka a rational number.

the script downloads the latest release. it's still one binary you can deploy yourself or compile with `go build`. the script is really there to automate some steps. next release a new tool `spore-drive` will allow to deploy all your nodes running one command.

>Chromium

Ungoogled Chromium*
WP is open-source. Users could always create plugins and edit code if they wanted. Before AI, that meant that less knowledgeable users would piece together their stuff by copying and pasting random code snippets they found online. I argue that is way more dangerous than getting it done with AI. Besides, both in the plugin and in its readme file I make it very clear that this is not for production sites, the code must be thoroughly tested and reviewed before using it.
> It has very intuitive verb commands that do precisely what you would believe they would do.

I love Mercurial, but I'm not sure if it's straightforward to figure out how verbs "revert", "rollback", and "backout" differ. But, when you get used to it, it's good, yes. Much easier to learn than git reset --hard HEAD^!@#$ at least.
> That was chilling and eerie.

I'm sorry that upset you. But I have to wonder -- can't that happen in any community setting (online or RL)? For example -- imagine returning to your hometown and stopping by at a neighbor's house only to find they had passed on.

How is that really different? In the end, death is a part of life.
I think at some point, maybe 7 to 8 years ago, Reddit was swamped by some orgs pushing different sort of political agendas. Like, I don't think it takes that many people. Maybe 10 FTE:s is enough to sway 20 big subs?

Commercial shilling have gone hay wire too.

I dunno if the ratio of insane people to normal people has changed, but judging from Reddit I really hope the toxicity scares away users rather than some fundamental shift.
Of course on a completely different level, but I think this will be similar to how e.g. antibiotics or biologics have played out. First generation has awful side effects as researchers focus on getting anything to work at all. Then once a certain baseline of efficacy is reached, they can focus on reducing side effects.
Les Paul.
> Unless a treatment is both miraculous in effect and works for everyone, it's hard to figure out if it works.

Yup. It's worth noting that "all or none" evidence is still considered category 1 evidence on many scales. (If you treat a group where all would be expected to die, and some survive... or a group where many would be expected to die, and all survive). It's only valid for the most dramatic effects, but you don't need randomization. During a safety trial you might come up with "all or none" evidence if your effect is strong enough.

But otherwise, you're going to need to compare the treatment to something else. There's no ability to magically draw the exact same population from some earlier trial.

It may be argued that a Ford Model-T (one of the earliest and probably the simplest of all mass-produced vehicles in the early 20th Century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T ) had no "security boundary" at all, and that conversely, the most modern vehicle with the latest radio frequency based remote lock and key (aka "Smart Key") -- is more "secure" (has more of a "security boundary")...

...but if so, is that asserted "security boundary" really an actual security boundary(?)

If the security boundary or "security boundary" -- is opaque in how it functions; if it is a "black box": (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_box); if no one (other than potentially a few people who work for the manufacturer, or exist at the company subcontracting to build their Smart Key component (if the Smart Key is subcontracted/outsourced)) understands exactly how it works, then is it really "secure"?

(If so, then that sounds eerily similar to the "obscurity is good" (aka "transparency bad") side of the "Security Through Obscurity" debate that the Internet had, like 5, 10, 20+ years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity#Cri...)

Why not read the following:

"Gone in 20 seconds: how ‘smart keys’ have fuelled a new wave of car crime":

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/feb/24/smart-keys-car...

And you tell me?

My conclusion:

Perhaps less "security" (less of an asserted "security boundary") -- is actually more actual security -- at least in some cases -- at least in the case of the Ford Model-T...

Is it weird how the comments here are blaming AMD and not Nvidia? Sure, the obvious argument is that Nvidia has no practical motivation to build an open platform. But there are counterexamples that suggest otherwise (Android). And there is a compelling argument that long term, their proprietary firmware layer will become an insufficient moat to their hardware dominance.

Who’s the root cause? The company with the dominant platform that refuses to open it up, or the competitor who can’t catch up because they’re running so far behind? Even if AMD made their own version of CUDA that was better in every way, it still wouldn’t gain adoption because CUDA has become the standard. No matter what they do, they’ll need to have a compatibility layer. And in that case maybe it makes sense for them to invest in the best one that emerges from the community.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. Have you faced challenges with a shared database in your projects? How did you address them? What strategies have you found effective for managing microservices with independent databases?

Creating a high performance image processing pipeline requires significant engineering effort and probably a custom SoC or DSP. You need to take care of auto focus and all the other physical configurations (shutter time, aperture, ISO), then you need to add post processing to correct for lens distortion and to do white balancing. I wish there was a FOSS camera, eg with the rather open MFT lens mount, but I don't see it happen any time soon.
This watch is actually capable of running custom software and there was a single cartridge of software available for it at launch. No other software was ever made for it until 2017 when a developer reverse engineered the whole thing:

Everything about the watch had to be figured out from scratch from the communications protocol to the CPU instructions. It's pretty cool to see a device from 1984 actually getting some "new life" in this way.

There are a ton of outstanding technical issues that lightning has had that have just kind of been glossed over for the past half-decade because people start companies, raise funding, build small fortunes and their success is predicated on pretending those fundamental technical issues don't exist.

Don't get me wrong, L2 has its own set of technical issues. The complexity of L2 is high, and some of the currently popular L2 chains are not decentralized at all. But it has much higher usage and popularity than Lightning, and is being pushed forward strongly by the Ethereum Foundation itself.
Okay. I'm wrong. That's why 38 states have made it illegal to boycott israel. We love israel so much that you shouldn't be allowed to boycott it right? But then again, if we loved israel, nobody would boycott israel in the first place and we wouldn't need laws barring people from boycotting israel. It's amazing how many anti-american laws are created solely for israel's benefit.

You are right. We love israel. So lets tear down those silly holocaust memorials in the US and create memorials for native americans who were actually genocided in the US. A holocaust memorial in the US is as silly as a lenape genocide memorial in germany.

You should let the ADL and the thousands of israel aligned groups in the US that their services are no longer required.
