I can say whatever I want; as long as I am not threatening someone else's life or liberty. These things are well defined. Nobody is going to knock on my door tomorrow.

The same is not true for you if you live under their laws, you couldn't agree with me if you wanted to.

The system you defend is banning sharp objects. We have sharp objects to prevent exactly what I pointed out is wrong. We can defend ourselves and others around us.

Controversial take maybe, but who really gives a damn? Filing cabinets that haven't been opened for 50 years? I'm sure people would flock to a museum to see those /s. Researchers obviously weren't that interested. If private collectors are happy to pay large amounts for these things then that seems like the best option, they'll enjoy owning it.

We really don't need the minutia of every decision Orwell made while writing his stories, I'd go so far as to say agonizing over such devalues the work.

I know you can make Linux work, but the amount of suffering is still unbelievable compared to the alternatives in many cases. By the time I get the Linux thing figured out, I'll have forgotten about what it was I wanted to originally build.

I wouldn't mind a bit of tinkering, but this is sad. I happily pay Microsoft if this is the alternative.
If I remember correctly; Zuck wanted to acquire Unity because he thought Unity would be the next big AR/VR platform, which Meta would hopefully control, instead of Apple and Google controlling the next big distribution platform. In retrospect, it would've been better that way because Unity's management will destroy Unity sooner or later.
The ML community is much less dependent on government granting agencies than most other fields. A typical ML paper on arXiv will have at least one and often many corporate funded researchers. Problems like h-index hacking are a disease created by grant giving: take away the government grants and people lose the incentive to engage in that kind of scientific fraud, as they'd only be defrauding their own employers. Who, you can bet, actually are reading the papers.

Online Shopping Ethics
I needed to book flight through booking.com, one set of tickets for my family (11am flight), and a separate transaction for myself since I need a different receipt for tax purposes. The booking.com website essentially detected this and only offered x2 ticket prices for that specific 11am flight. On a different computer and a different booking.com account, the 11am flight had the normal cost (1/2 compared to my account). This predatory behaviour from the online retailer is very unethical.

Business practises like this should be publically shamed. I’m now considering never doing business with this group again. Does HackerNews community have similar experiences they’d love to share?
Yup, absolutely. I've got a few side-projects that I'm doing for fun, which wouldn't have even gotten started if not for LLMs being good enough — but, like many customer-facing roles*, LLMs get a lot of slack from people who (appear to) expect perfection for free.

When the AI doesn't make mistakes, humans can't continue to get paid to do those jobs. So I'm hoping AI continues to be mediocre at writing code for at least another 2 years.

The other big GenAI things, I'm not sure how they're perceived. Music? I don't know well enough to tell. Images? The way people talk in public is a three-way mix of complaining they're (1) making bad art while (2) also taking away jobs, plus (3) the "this rips off the human creators" that is present for all GenAI models. Video? I'm only really seeing people mock it right now; even the praise is caveated "I can see the flaws but $something_positive".

* Was thinking this yesterday WRT the police getting flack both for not doing enough and also for being too proactive; but I could say this about almost anything — a former partner could have said the same about working in a call center, a few days ago on this site there was a discussion about doctors making terrible mistakes, and there's a few current examples I don't dare write about because I know I'll get flack from "both sides" (even on this site) for even daring to use the phrase "both sides".

What do you mean by "how it works"? In my book, being able to predict the outcome of experiment is exactly understating how it works. Anything beyond this is the question of philosophy, not physics.

Isn't it easier to set hard limits on the account and notify the client when they're close to them so they can decide to increase them on their own if needed?

But then you run into the risk that the client will never increase those hard limits and ... pay less than they could. Not good for business.
C is certainly not recklessly unsafe when used with additional tools, such as sanitizers, safe string libraries, etc.

I also agree that C still needs to become safer, and especially the defaults. And it will.

An interesting alternative is the javascript+typescript approach that Svelte uses. Typescript is only used for the typechecking, there is no transpilation for running the app since all the run-time code is written in plain javascript.

If the police can't help you this is the best you can do. I know lots of stories of people getting back their $1000+ gear only when they offer cash for the person to drop it and walk away or to anonymously return it.

That isn't even necessarily true. For interpreted languages having a test that just runs code asserts that the code is able to run (i.e. you are not calling a string object as a function for example). Which is not enough to always assert functionality but still better than nothing.
And Disk Manager...

There were a few of these staples that I could always rely on to fix issues for friends and family. I remember them from 20 years ago and they kept working reliably. Since I've long transitioned to using only Linux both at home and work, I have no idea how to get anything done in these fancy new lean and modern "streamlined" UIs and am not of much help to Windows users. At least so far Control Panel was there but even so, some things were added only to the dumb new UI parts. I think MS managers may be forgetting how much their users have been relying on their IT whiz kid relative or friend. If you cull power user features, you indirectly make life harder for the average user too.
It's been up for 3 years. I think we're safe.
I use Linux mint at home. It usually works great, but it definitely needs tinkering to keep the system working.

Just in the last few months:

- My nvidia drivers stopped working because the drivers I had (which didn’t auto update) apparently weren’t kept up to date with the kernel (which had auto updates enabled).

- My computer wouldn’t boot at all last week after I disconnected an external usb drive running zfs. It showed the logo and just kind of stalled out. I had to use a recovery grub setting to disable zfs from the boot process.

This sort of routine breakage is pretty common. My rodecaster doesn’t have all its audio interfaces show up in the default audio devices list. HDMI audio broke last year from a kernel update. IntelliJ stopped scaling according to the HiDPI mode I have set up. And so on. It’s fine. It’s worth it for me. But it’s definitely less reliable than macOS or windows.
You could follow a site such as https://downdetector.co.uk/ that aggregates reports of issues on sites including Vodafone.
Greek has verbs with different "thematic vowels", which are sort of like the Spanish conjugations, but not exactly the same thing (although I think both varieties of verb groupings probably have a distantly shared origin in Indo-European).

The Spanish conjugations -ar, -er, and -ir derive from Latin conjugations, which are usually analyzed as having four different regular conjugation patterns (there are long and short e, giving -ēre and -ere, in addition to -āre and -īre), although one can choose to make additional distinctions.

Generally older Indo-European languages have more complex morphology than newer ones, including more paradigms and more irregular forms. Ancient Greek verbs are definitely morphologically more complex than modern Spanish verbs.
> I'm really surprised this list doesn't contain any of the big names I'm using.

This might be more a proof for this whole blocking-business actually working. kinox, serienjunkies and similar named domains were very famous and huge 5-10 years ago. Since then, they have been raided, sued, blocked, etc. So it seems they've been fallen in grace and awareness with their target-group.

Except in manufacturing, this actually works. Economies of scale are real and trump pretty much every other consideration, and they're what enable pretty much everything we have around us that isn't biological.

So help me God.”

The way I see it is that windows is infrastructure, it is a stage that other applications perform on (similar with the browser) but otherwise needs to stay in the background and their roadies be unnoticed.

The trouble is there's an implied maintenance contract as the environment the software exists in only gets more hostile even if your consumer customers rarely pay for it with new licenses. Plus an expectation that you upgrade their facilities/APIs to facilitate new tech other companies have come up with in the ecosystem that gives their 'stage' value, that HDR lighting rig they want to use for their performance or new USB/networking/3D rendering/etc standard.
> The "strapping computers to their faces" meme is just stupid hyperbole. It's no more insightful than declaring that nobody wants to stuff a computer into their pocket - when 99% of people now carry smart phones

Depends on how you define 'computer': content creation or content consumption?

Because everyone with a 'computer' in their pocket has nothing more than 'interactive television' in their pocket.

Why not just use shell scripts instead of trying to work around make’s weirdness to make it do something it wasn’t designed for?

If make is available, odds are that a bash-compatible shell is too.
Our army, being well-regulated, occasionally notifies people to turn in their gear and not bother coming back for refresher courses. Every so often the newspapers publish a count of how many were asked to leave for different reasons, and for this purpose they bin right wing nutjobs separately from left wing nutjobs.
I unplugged from Reddit when they did this and my life is much better.

Reddit had a good community and content in the early days, but as it grew in popularity and squeezed profit the value dropped.

I think it’s funny that early LLM projects were bootstrapped by scraping Reddit. I guess it was better than random garbage from common crawl, but the world has moved on.

hey HN,

i have been developing full-stack software solutions for businesses using django.
i noticed that everytime i start a new project i spend countless hours installing, configuring and building the same stuff all over again…

that's why i created djast.dev a django boilerplate that comes pre-configured with login logic (w/ mail verification & oauth integration with google and github), payment integration with stripe, tailwindcss pre-installed, setup/build scripts and many more to ease your development process.

i hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. would love your feedback!

Yeah, Libre Office has -IMO- the best approach by allowing different UIs and i find the "single toolbar" superior to the ribbon-like interface or the "mass overload" of toolbars the default/office-2003-like UI has.

Obviously the single toolbar only provides the most common and basic functionality but that's what i'd need in a toolbar - and if i'd need more i could probably customize it (probably, i don't know, never had the need :-P).
I've seen this referred to as something like "Scroll content, don't scroll the app".

Perhaps the wording was off on my part. What I meant is not that people don't think, it's that people seldom teach others to think, at least in web articles.

Most posts of such format I have seen are "we did this and got this", not "we tried this, it failed because of this, then we figured out something else might work and it worked after these modifications".
Screen readers should read those tags differently. em is emphasis, cite is citation etc.
