And you immediately think guns are the only thing that can make someone a victim? You’re uneducated on this subject and using a democratic attempt on a former republican presidents life to try yet again for more gun control.

do you think you’re going to be successful?
Just like Latin, some Cyrillic characters can be displayed, but the words that mean an error, unambiguously, have letters that don't fit, even if you shorten the word. Ошибка (ш & к are problematic), сбой (й won't fit).
Same thing happened with cupcake shops and microbreweries in my area. Now it’s happening with car washes.

75% of them will be out of business in a few years as the people who think “sweet, easy money!” discover it’s less fun than they imagined.
I agree- humans have almost exactly the same dynamic. Our language doesn’t even have accurate words for it because it is culturally unacceptable to be a more (submissive? feminine?) man or a more (dominant? masculine?) woman yet it’s actually quite common and despite stereotypes it is a totally separate thing from gender or sexual orientation. The “wrong” pairings rarely work out in relationships.

I believe many cultures and languages are more consciously aware of this- for example the Chinese concept of yin and yang being important in dating and relationships.
The distinction you are making is right. All those examples are examples of visualization, not of direct programming.

But why can't we use what today are visual representations of the programs as the actual programs? Can't we have the state transition diagram that today is a visualization of the code _be_ the definition of the state transitions? That is the question the post is asking

In other words, elevate the visualizations that we already use into programming, instead of programming with visualizations we don't use.
The author of the website details their issue with the way HN does moderation (which I can't say I disagree with, especially after HN intentionally disabled referrer headers for websites that take issue with HN). This only shows up if HN is in the referer URL.

I wouldn't call it a rant, but rather a polite request for HN policy to change.
No, More from a technology standpoint.

I might argue that financial analysts are too focused on their models and this quarter's numbers but most of the better ones are actually pretty savvy about the trends and other happenings in the industry that they follow. They're as susceptible to the hype du jour as most people are but they're not actually stupid for the most part.
Partially copying a 2-byte character?
Okay, but that's a barrier to contributing to any software project regardless of its licensing model, no?
If you didn't choose it, do it, and cannot change it, it's not up to you. Whatever parents n-1 year old you had, or nationality they had, are the same ones n year old you have. If they are abusive, or in war, you are screwed. Build a shed or not. Of course there are things you can do to improve your and your children's lives (and you should), but there are irreversible handicaps you can have through no choice or action of yours.
and then do it all again, but backwards.
Perhaps in response to environmental regulations to prevent toxic waste from being dumped into your own backyard, you should respond, "create your own country, then".
But “not as well paid as it used to be” is relative to other wage earner, not to cost of living. Two uneducated polish factory workers today won’t be able to buy your parents’ house either.

Hard disagree. The web was a much better place when IE6 was still relevant enough to reign in web developers.
Thank you, I didn't even consider this to be a possibility. I back up to my own storage and was annoyed by this message.

Untying photos from my google account is even better!
how about if you buy a gun because a family member was murdered and lefties decided to put them in jail for life instead of ending theirs, leaving the chance for escape to kill more family members. Is it then ok to defend yourself or should that person still be a victim because 12 people are too scared to walk outside because of a mental illness?
It's astounding that you can't read your own requests without an internet connection.

No; the ruling mostly moves adjudication of disputes over regulations from the administrative agency into the courts. From one set of unelected bureaucrats to another.

It's likely to result in a DDoS of the court system, but all existing regulations remain in effect until someone brings it to that one-judge jurisdiction in Texas with the judge that loves issuing nationwide injunctions.

It's darkly funny to me that the Court, in this power grab, managed to illustrate how insane this is probably going to get directly in the opinion; it repeatedly mixed up nitrogen oxides with nitrous oxide. https://newrepublic.com/article/183285/supreme-court-chevron...
It could be legislated of course. But the difference is pretty drastic. Almost nobody is creating binaries without a compiler. It is a mechanical process, but essentially everyone uses the same mechanical processes to generate binaries. I haven't looked at this issue in a while but I think compiled binaries are treated in a way similar to that of recorded music. For example, the particular bit patterns from a synthesizer might be generated from sheet music, and that is akin to code vs. binaries. But the bit patterns are copyrightable only so far as they are equivalent to or the direct manifestation of a creative work.

There are other problems with releasing model weights under the GPL. It just doesn't fit, in the same way as releasing non-software under the GPL doesn't make sense.

Calling the output of generative AI copyrightable violates the spirit of copyright, as it is neither creative nor labor-intensive. We could quibble about that, but I think we can at least agree that the point is that this generative AI stuff requires very little skill to use in most cases and can't operate without prior art to train on. Other lame stuff has been copyrighted before, like paint splatters and stuff, but even that type of art appears to involve more skill than entering a few words into a generative AI.
Semi-related: I went to the gym a month ago, and that block was undergoing a power outage. I tried to drink from the (refrigerated) water fountain, but it didn't work! That model is inoperative when power is out.

Huh? You'd think a water fountain would just keep working without electricity, because all it has to do is let water flow from the plumbing, which continues to work? And it just wouldn't cool the water anymore? But no, that design doesn't have a fallback; it needs electricity even for normal water dispensing!
I assume you have an e-mail related to you product? I couldn't find a contact page. I can contact you on there if you put it here. I don't feel comfortable putting my personal contact details here.

Meta commentary but still relevant I think:

The author first refers to his source as Kevin Bankston in the article's subtitle. This is also the name shown in the embedded tweet. But the following two references call him Kevin _Bankster_ (which seems like an amusing portmanteau of banker and gangster I guess).

Is the author not proofreading his own copy? Are there no editors? If the author can't even keep the name of his source straight and represent that consistently in the article, is there reason to think other details are being relayed correctly?

Hah. Thanks. I was stopping by this thread again to post exactly that. I have to say that config option was not obvious. After scrolling through about:config and filtering only the modified list I still couldn't find it. I finally backed up prefs.js, toggled it, then pulled a diff.

And, I needed the config entry because I couldn't find any gui option to opt out of it on mobile.
It is urgent to educate people about how these systems work. Search requires indexing. Summarizing with a LM requires inference. Data used for inference usually is forgotten forever after used, as it is not used for training.

Yeah, that should be obvious for many here, but even software engineers believe that AI are sentient things that will remember everything that they see. And that is a problem, because public is afraid of the tech due to a wrong understanding of how it works. Eventually they will demand laws protecting them from stuff that have never existed.

Yes, there are social issues with AI. But the article just shows a big tech illiteracy gap.

When your parents bought, your country had few highly-paid jobs, and places like that have low housing costs: the presence of many highly-paid workers is what causes housing prices to be high.
You can do insanely stupid things of course.

But saving in some remotely rational and diversified way is better than not saving at all even if some bets turn out to be better than others.
I don't get how can each file system have a custom lifecycle for inodes, but still use the same functions for inode lifecycle management, but apparently with different semantics? That sounds like the opposite of an abstraction layer, if the same function must be used in different ways depending on implementation details.

If the lifecycle of inodes is filesystem-specific, it should be managed via filesystem-specific functions.
It’s not just a matter of skill but of time. Value investing a la Warren Buffet works extremely well, but choosing a single stock with the deep research required for that method is so much work it is a full time job. It’s not worth it unless it is in fact your full time job.

3 of the worst corporate decisions they made ever:

1. Getting rid of the BBQ pulled chicken sandwich - Long ago they had it and it was inexpensive to make and quite good. Many people to this day complain about no longer being able to find it anywhere.

2. Phasing out their grilled chicken - It was quite good, and people who wanted a healthier option than fried chicken, like me, simply don't go anymore because it's disappearing.

3. Merging with Taco Bell - The menu is far too big now, and Taco Bell items are lower in quality and cheaper. I think it's the final move to phase KFC out.

When are people going to realize that telling customers what they want, reducing value and quality, and ignoring their complaints is not a good business model?
I don't understand your comment. Ofcourse I believe that different groups can, those who don't are ignorant jackasses who have a more primitive hater disposition than some fictitious historical precedent.

I find it delusional to find some historical bond among haters, that was my point.

> if we prefer to outright shut down online advertising

Yes, please. Both online and offline. Advertising is probably the most useless, annoying and wasteful industry out there.

We could have pull-only databases of businesses, products and services instead. Ideally, with independently verified, fact-checked information and authentic reviews. Realistically though, this kind of objectivity would probably be infeasible to enforce and maintain. But even if we allow for misinformation, paid rankings and whatnot, the point stands: any such database should follow a pull-only model, users access it voluntarily to search for products and services and it's not an unsolicited broadcast to everyone everywhere all the time.
Then consider me "delusational" (as you put it).

I am unaware of "these corporations" -- which ones exactly? my answer doesn't hinge on you making that clear but you still should -- throwing their opponents into reeducation camps, or outright killing them.

In 2014, I was tasked with rebuilding an event processing engine to increase throughput and performance. Used ZeroMQ with C# and also had a very positive experience.

It was very easy to build a multi-node, distributed event processing engine (think Apache Flink) that could scale by simply adding more nodes or threads. ZMQ makes coordination and management of messages easy and low-fanfare.

In our use case, it was stable and it was the least problematic part of a relatively complex platform.
> Im sure this feeling isnt uncommon

Sign me up for the not uncommon club because you echoed my sentiments exactly. :D

The left has made it impossible to resonate with them as a liberal. They've been as anti-resonant as can be but somehow getting even worse with every passing news cycle.

If nothing had happened over the last few months (even taking into account the last few years and their totalitarian grip over all tech), Biden would begrudgingly still have my vote, though it was hanging by a thread. Then enter Putin-esque lawfare fueled by a fear campaign, the dementia reveal in the debate, lefties mourning the near-miss... "B-but he's gonna be a dictator!!" Lol. Even if that's true, the left brought it in themselves, and it'd be schadenfreude. Be afraid! Be very afraid!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofIlP1gJ-Ho
> prefer to ensure that the today capacity we have of "clean energy" are used for a proper usage better than allocating the current clean, and upcoming clean ones to some Google servers that are used to generate AI images for fun

You’re proposing capping economic growth to save the planet. Admirable. But with tremendous, almost guaranteed, capacity for backlash.

Empirically, growing economies green faster because while we should treat climate change as an existential crisis, we don’t, we treat it as a luxury.

> If your house is on fire you don't use the water you have to fill up your pool, you actually need to turn off the fire, even if you will have more water soon

The house isn’t on fire. It’s settling wrong. It won’t burn us in minutes but bury us in decades. The analogy is in quitting your job to start repairs even though you don’t have the cash on hand to finish them.

No doubt, but it is an empirical fact that this is not working too well for a nontrivial number of people - and if it were working well, there would still be no reason to bring up the issue in the article about sunbeds, especially as no evidence for vitamin D intoxication being a difficult-to-avoid problem in practice was presented either in that article or above. If sunlight is the optimal solution, then outdoor activity is better for you than lolling on a sunbed.

I am a case in point: I am frequently outdoors in all seasons, well beyond the point where I have to be careful to avoid sunburn, yet I have a significant all-seasons vitamin D deficiency. The conclusion of the abstract to the article you link to says "a three-part strategy of increasing food fortification programs with vitamin D, sensible sun exposure recommendations and encouraging ingestion of a vitamin D supplement when needed should be implemented to prevent global vitamin D deficiency and its negative health consequences" [my emphasis.]

Say what? (Even the article you cite does not support your claim.)

> Echo chambers are mostly democrat sided.

Double what?

There is plenty of villification coming from Trump and the right. (Read his speeches.) There is plenty of violent rhetoric on the right. There is a big echo chamber on the right. If you don't see it, maybe you're in an echo chamber?

People have long surnames, especially if you take multi-byte characters into account. And someone with the same mindset as you is the reason why my profile picture in Google’s employee directory never did actually show up in Safari–one of the path components ended up being a couple thousand characters long (I wonder if it was literally a base64 encoding of the image itself?)
If you're alluding to NUL, I don't really see the issue?

Yes, many languages allow strings (UTF-8 or otherwise) to contain null bytes, and C's str*() functions obviously do not, but null-termination vs not is an orthogonal issue to ASCII vs UTF-8.

i.e. Yes it's (depending on context) an issue that C str*() cannot handle strings with embedded null bytes, but that's not a UTF-8-specific issue.

I should qualify that with "probably faulty". There's always room for expanding the ontology of science, but it has to be very well motivated, a standard which I don't think has been met for qualia.
That is what the Apple/NeXT combined company did, of course. Rhapsody showed it well.

And there's some description of the emulation nanokernel:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_nanokernel

But in its way OS X was much more of a clean break: a whole new OS, ported to the old hardware, tweaked to understand filesystems and file formats and given a shallow cosmetic resemblance.

A/UX was a much tighter integrated system. Some of the OS functionality was provided by actual classic MacOS.

What was left, if that was removed, was a fairly unremarkable Unix for its time. You could even boot it in a sort of vanilla-Unix form.

You can compare and contrast here:

https://www.aux-penelope.com/screenshots.htm

E.g. for v3, top 2 rows (pics 1-6) are in Mac mode, bottom row (7-9) are in Unix mode. A bit like the ANS with AIX, there's little to appeal to Apple users here:

"Bullying" is a judgement. Intrinsic to the word is a judgement that what is being done is bad, and the person doing it would not describe it that way.

And by that I don't mean that it's not bad to bully people (it's rather tautological), I mean that talk of bullying often begs the question, and is intentionally done in order to elide past the actual events that occurred. Lèse majesté laws against talking about the King, elected officials, or even cops or bureaucrats now get justified as anti-bullying.

I missed any rant about politics in the blog however. But this thread has a smell of "my politics aren't political because they are true, and your politics are political because they are lies."
> Wake me up when we start writing software where the beneficiary is the end user.

Too true. And a lot of the chatter I hear about benefiting the user seems like regurgitated marketing copy and euphemism, with AFAICT no awareness of what really developing for the user would be like.

> Do you want to attract young people to open source again? Start actually building software where the story behind why open source matters is actually true again.

Yes, and I have a guess of where the potential likely is (with a little background)...

I wonder whether this is actually harder to appeal to the amenable people than it used to be, because they're surrounded by ubiquitous conflicting messages -- about what computers, software, development, collaboration, design (UX for engagement and manipulation), charity (it's for college applications), etc. are about. And when even the basic tools with which you can build new things are getting twisted, with anti-social intent implicit in their design.

Remember when programmers were nerds -- in the sense of some degree of social outcast, and when looking at the equivalent of a smartphone in public risked getting you physically beaten up, and certainly ridiculed?

Not the "nerd" that currently means having the latest gadgets for posturing on social media, and being on track for a big-money career that upper-middle families launch their kids into, and which is blessed as fashionable by the cool kids at school?

Maybe the next contributors in the earlier spirit still have to come from people who have an outside perspective, and now who are also strong-minded enough to cut through the deafening noise of commercial greed messages.

Watch the video. Unless you think he actually squeezed a fake blood bag or ketchup pack against his ear for some unfathomably bad reason, it's very real. You're sort of beating a dead horse here. Multiple reports, photos, video etc have confirmed that he did indeed get shot and that the injury to his ear was the result of that incredibly (for him) lucky near miss grazing his ear.

Either all the visual evidence (including live video and photos by seasoned, respected third party photojournalists) was somehow amazingly falsified, or Trump literally used fake blood to make it seem like he got injured by the bullet (an incredible assertion even by Trump standards) or he really was shot just as has now been widely reported.

Also, that he would grab that specific ear just as the shot went by, and moments later suffer an injury completely unrelated to a bullet in that exact ear, would be an extraordinary coincidence. Caused by what else?
