Oh, I didn't know the word, but I know what it means! Haha! Back in the days I worked in a printing house, one of the most common orders were business cards. Unimaginably large proportion of those were to be screen-printed with gold paint that increased in volume when heated on a paper that looked like marble. These orders usually came from people who had... well... no business to appear to be rich. Like, a local police department chief or an owner of a small refrigerated delivery service (that one was both morbid and bizarre as he wanted raw meat texture for the business card).

Being an art college grad, I tend to think that a lot of Klimt's portraits weren't particularly indicative of what he wanted to paint. It was what put food on the table, what customers paid him for. He found a way to please the customers that worked. How much did he enjoy it?--Hard to tell. From my student years, when I had to make a living from art, which was admittedly not so easy or successful, I'd guess that in his heart of hearts he probably at the minimum laughed at it.
Oh, I've re-read and you just mean there are two fast paced roundabouts that are close by and they both have two lanes around them.

That wouldn't raise an eyebrow here in the UK, it's very normal for highway junctions to have on/off ramps that end in 2-3 lane roundabouts, one each side of the highway.
> Lots of smart people, and a lot of amazing technology....would find a way to make some incredible products

One of the things I think a lot about with open source is that maybe not every amazing idea is profitable (or profitable in the current business climate).

It may be that some ideas have to be subsidized. Google subsidizes them with money from ads. But it also costs them a lot to maintain their monopoly, and the monopoly and the ads are IMO harmful to consumers.

So I think we need some more ways of funding digital public goods. I think governments can and should (and in fact do) play a role, but I think there need to be other sources as well.

Arguably the reputation Google has for killing its projects is a signal that they have more good ideas than they have funding capacity to sustain them. I realize it's also perf/promo driven. But it's also the pattern you see with smart people with ADHD where they start great projects but don't have the resources to continue them all. So we'll have more and cooler software if we find better ways of funding open source.
I think it's unclear what the results would be. For instance, and I honestly don't know, if gmail was split out would it still be able to be free? Or would they start charging for it?
I don't force it.

Most times when I'm doing something new, it's because I'm genuinely interested in the thing and so the problem isn't how to stick with it, but how to keep from obsessing about it.

If the new thing isn't inspiring passion in me, then when I get bored with it I set it aside and come back to it another day[1]. I've completed/learned many things this way, a little at a time, over a period of months or even years.

[1] If it's a work thing that I have no choice about, then I do the needful and just force myself. It's called "work" for a reason.

Of course, I just mean if you've got one internal.productname.com or .local or whatever, the problem is not having one domain for each branch.

Like, the public product is www.productname.com, and the internal site is dev.productname.local, right?

But since we set up one instance for each active PR, you have to host the sites at

dev.productname.local/PR11235 and dev/productname.local/PR12345 if you don't have the infrastructure set up to spin them up as pr11235.dev.productname.local and pr12345.dev.productname.local

That was the challenge with "one instance per active PR" we hit. Very handy for both automated and manual testing, but took some work to get the product site to run at arbitrary URLs instead of assuming it had a domain all to itself.
Not even local privilege escalation, though! I remember a couple notorious remote exploits being centered around ICMP ping. You're right that they are far less common.
Ironically, we're nearly back at the "renting" phone stage. Sure the companies selling the phones don't use that terminology, and it's a one-time payment for the life of the device, but full control of the device is never transferred to the user. The company holds the keys and will only allow you to do what they want you to do. This certainly describes iPhones and most Android phones to date, and it's getting worse on the Android side as root becomes harder and harder.
Power government seems like a likely candidate.

I'm looking forward to blatting my test laptop and installing this on it tonight. I ran OpenBSD as my daily driver for a couple of months a few years back and loved it, but development needs required docker and such so had ended up using it less. Maybe it's time to revisit vmm again.
You think this would be good for Android users? What do you see happening to Android if Google were broken up?

I think emitting a warning every time an unspecific exception is caught might be a better balance. That way, you could still do a quick “try: … except: …” when drafting new code, but the code might warn you if the bare except block is ever used (including what exception was caught, and a suggestion for how to catch only that specific exception).
I think the most positive benefits are people using it to protect themselves in countries under authoritarian rule and/or economic collapse. Low-fee remittances are a lesser but still very positive use-case. There are genuine large benefits to people in these situations.

The Thinkpad series is performance oriented and business grade.

The Ideapad series is performance and price point oriented and consumer grade.

The most expensive off the shelf Ideapad on the lenovo website is cheaper than the cheapest Thinkpad x-series. You bought a cheaper laptop, and it wasn't as durable as a series of laptops that is advertised as more durable. I'm not sure that we are regressing in this case.

Buy a modern equivalent to your Thinkpad x220t like another Thinkpad x-series if you want x-series durability.

Yes, Erdogan has really dragged Turkey back. It picked up after that "coup" attempt that he used to arrest anybody who disagreed with him, be it soldiers or even judges.

It's so sad to see Turkey turn out like this, but there's nobody that can do anything except their own citizens.
No you've got it completely backwards. Reality has multiple facets (different statements, all of which can be true) and a mental model that insists on a singular judgement is reductionist, missing the forest for the trees. Light is a wave and a particle. People are capable of good and bad. The modern world is both amazing and unsustainable. etc.

Holding multiple truths is a sign that you understand the problem. Insisting on a singular judgement is a sign that you're just parroting catchy phrases as a short cut to thinking; the real world is rarely so cut and dry.
Not just a Swiss user as there are many German words that use ss and not ß. And having an ss where there should be an ß will be a lot less disruptive as the inverse because people are used to ASCII limitations.
> I'd guess it's not that you're not getting any attention

I am a humble reporter. I don't have access to most of the Reg's internal stats about who is viewing a page, from where, etc.

I'm just going by the fact that most of my HN submissions got no upvotes and no comments.

One commenter in another discussion said my subs were getting [flagged] and/or [dead] as spam. I only see one sub ever as being flagged. I think it was this one:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38445020

... Which as it happens did get lots of engagement, then AFAICS due to a misunderstanding of the title got edited, then it got flagged. But I do not know the details.

Saying that, I suppose it's possible that normally this is invisible to me somehow, or that others see stuff as dead that I can't? I don't know.

Have you heard of anyone proposing to add to rustc a flag or an attribute that would cause a generic type to be implemented by a dispatch at run time to avoid monomorphization and consequently decrease compile time?
I'm a big fan of Wolfram's physics project, however, he seems to be confusing thinking about physics (computation) with the continuous and ever-changing substance of the universe itself.

Time is a human idea to grapple with the fact that everything is both continuous and constantly changing. Time is simply picking out from that continuous change a sequence of changes or state(s) that occur during a measured standard sequence of change, such as the earth making a single rotation around its axis (day). It helps us manage and refer to and measure both the order of changes and the duration of changes or states using standards.
Mhm... older CPUs were pretty close, but I guess Windows is really slow in adopting scheduler optimizations. The last one for Ryzen was in the pipeline for two years.

Maybe, but I wasn't thinking of Intel's profit. The question was what might be a bigger selling point in a home lab, QuickSync for transcode related tasks (your Plex/Jellyfin machine for example, which would also work with most Nvidia GPUs and some AMD ones), or OOB manageability for your entire home lab especially if it's composed of multiple machines and IP KVMs quickly become cumbersome.

Could you please go into more detail? I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not trying to argue, I just want to understand.
Nothing to do with perf is a strong claim. If you genuinely don't care about performance you can use an arbitrary-precision rational number representation.

But performance often matters, so you trade off precision for performance. I think people are wrong to dismiss floating point numbers in favor of fixed point arithmetic, and I've seen plenty of fixed point arithmetic that has failed spectacularly because people think if you use it, it magically solves all your problems...

Whatever approach you take other than going all in with arbitrary precision fractions, you will need to have a good fundamental understanding of your representation and its trade-offs. For me personally I use floating point binary and adjust the decimal point so I can exactly represent any value to 6 decimal places. It's a good trade-off between performance, flexibility, and precision.

It's also what the main Bitcoin implementation uses.
Wouldn't have happened had they used seL4.

I'd hope there's some EU investment on it now.
Does that matter when you just want to run "old scientific code"? Old version of libraries like OpenSSL can still be run in that context, granted you don't expose that code to the internet at large.

I think in an ideal world, this would be the normal case. A hierarchy of packages, maintained by many independent parties, that extend useful base functionality, without too much logic being put in any one package. If one thing doesn't work well you can just create a new package to replace the one part. And building on top of simpler, smaller modules allows you to keep code DRY, reduce maintenance burden (like the 1000 open PRs...), and easily extend functionality by simply making a new package.

That was my experience with CPAN, anyway. It's not perfect but it's miles above other language module cultures.
Not sure it would hurt them.

All of the broken up companies created, the Googlettes if you will, would be flush with senior devs and researchers, many of them somewhat well to do and likely with savings.

Many of those people will spread like the wind, create new startups, and will require a house with garage to house said startup.

The MVRA and agents will be happy indeed.

And we may get a new barbershop band out of it too.
Automation is less important at the east coast ports because there are more ports and most container ships don't completely unload at one port but stop at a few ports unloading portions of their cargo at each where the cargo doesn't usually travel all that far from the destination port. Compared that to west coast ports (which are mostly automated) where the biggest of container ships unload their entire load at one port and most of the cargo is then sent via rail all over the US (quite a bit of it going all of the way to the east coast).

The biggest irony of the port strike is that by publicly threatening to crash the logistics network of imports the ILA spokespeople might have turned public opinion in favor of full automation. I don't think that will happen since full automation requires MASSIVE investments and these ports do comparatively small amounts of cargo traffic compared to the giant freight terminals on the west coast.
That’s what you would call

> Nowadays, if I want a static site I just start with a folder of html files.

? With that argument, we can also calculate 10 million digits of pi in HTMl by renaming our C files to .html. If someone tells me they’re using a collection of html files, I’m assuming they mean static html pages without server side scripting.
The argument is that by paying Apple to be the default on its platform they are essentially paying Apple to not develop a competitor. Apple could easily develop its own search capability for less than the $20 billion a year that Google pays it. I think this is a reasonable argument.

The problem is how does this help me? Why do I care if Apple has a different search than Google? This benefits me in no way. Meanwhile pharma companies routinely do the same thing and pay off generic manufacturers to not produce generics after their patents expire. This makes medication massively more expensive for the public. But the FTC just sits back and lets it happen. I don't believe for a second that the FTC isn't just engaging in political warfare.
Perhaps the structured dataset he built can be now used to train language models on a small corpus of text to get a reasonable common sense?

Wow those are some pretty spicy gaps. Would have guessed closer to 1% OS difference
Very tangential, but interesting enough story:

My dad grew up the youngest in a relatively poor family in Montana with four kids and a father that drank most of their cash away. My dad really needed braces, but they couldn't afford to pay a dentist, so my grandmother got a part time job as a dental assistant and paid very close attention to the process of installing and removing braces.

After a few months, she "borrowed" the materials required for braces, and installed them on my dad, and removed them about a year later. Apparently it worked out fine, my dad's teeth are alright.

Obviously, things going "alright" is more a matter of luck than anything else: there's a reason that people go to dental school, and they were fortunate that there weren't any complications, but I always thought it was amusing that that's how my dad got his teeth straightened.
Yeah, the first sibling who joined after me texted me immediately when they saw my fake name there :-D

(Although that turned out not to be the biggest family scandal that was turned up by the genetic testing - the cautionary click through on the "relatives" page is no joke...)
With practice it just becomes another paradigm of programming. The trade off is really a skill issue from this perspective.

The larger issue is performance which is a legitimate reason for not using fp in many cases. But additionally in many cases there is no performance trade off.
So what's the viable alternative to WordPress?
This is strange - I wasn't expecting such a difference on CPU-only benchmarks. In my experience as a software engineer I find Linux much faster than windows mainly due to the file system being more performant (e.g. the builds run noticeably faster). For CPU-intensive tasks I always thought they were quite similar.

On the other hand since upgrading from 6.6 to 6.11 I noticed a great improvement in UI responsiveness on my old X1 Tablet and I doubt this Ubuntu uses a recent kernel even.

Disclaimer: I haven't used Windows in a long time.
I think it should happen for the health of the web, however, sadly too much capital is behind getting rid of Lina Khan so they probably will get rid of her as soon as elections happen.

I don't see how this responds to the thrust of the argument. The argument is that if order doesn't matter to the directionality of subjective time then no order doesn't matter either.

Time isn't required to differentiate two states just as time isn't required to differentiate two static regions of space. The features of the thing can do the differentiation. Whether you consider all of block spacetime as a single entity or subdivided in various ways is a matter of convention. But regions of this block spacetime can be grouped by way of their apparent dynamical connection. I.e. the appearance of evolution following laws connects some regions with others sequentially.
I barely understand it, but it looks very interesting!
It really hasn't though. Customs and laws may change but the behaviors of people in their environments remain pretty much the same. It's very eye opening.
Yeah, I'm gonna stick with POSIX. All systems I'm aware of (other than Linux Desktop apps) use $HOME. If you want to extend your functionality to use an OS-specific directory, that's fine, but $HOME is the safest default. (Same for things like $TMPDIR)
> rather than doing the usual outreach programs only to the usual universities, you could decide to turn stones that you wouldn't usually turn in order to find people you wouldn't usually find.

This reads to me "onesidedly relax hiring criteria to keep quota" and is exactly the kind of intervention into the hiring process that I expect to decrease average capability of new hires.

Sure, if your criteria themselves are bad in the first place (you are basically rejecting a huge pool of candidates randomly), it does not matter. But plenty of companies don't have a somewhat infinite stream of candidates that would be willing to relocate from across the world, and expanding that candidate stream has a very real cost for the business, too.
Unless there’s a fulcrum involved, I don’t want to read the word “leverage”.
Of course you can. I'm doing it for years now.

I just wanna vomit reading that article (which is in official docs!!!). There is a much cleaner way of managing state with just a single `useState` per component instead of bringing over some Redux dogma for some inexplicable reason:

```

const [state, dispatch] = useState()

// ...

dispatch(doThis)

dispatch(doThat)

```
You have to be careful with that line of reasoning; I could rephrase it as "Why bother worrying about minorities?"

People with disabilities cannot be treated like legacy browsers. They have no other option, and there are times when viewing the content is mandatory. Consider content for school, medical, financial, governmental; in those cases we have a responsibility to create an equal experience in both law (WCAG 2.2 compliance, ticking boxes) and spirit (ensuring they can access the information needed to live their life).
I think in general the idea that open source means tons of crowdsourced free labor is both very misleading and very much oversold by people who do make money on it (I have also been paid to work on free software and done my fair share of shamelessly pimping free and libre software as a giant pool of free labor) (but I’m referring more to giant corporations that exploit community software)
this is still true for many embedded projects. like pi pico (2040) uses a table.
Couldn't family farms plan around such an event occurring, either by having the cash on hand to pay taxes or through some sort of insurance?
Yes, they can. In 1901, science was not nearly as collaborative as it is today. Especially considering the need for a Nobel Prize to be experimental and the fact that most major labs today _need_ dozens of people.
You're not limited to 650MB provided you use UDF rather than ISO 9660. UDF supports up to 16 EiB. It's still a "real" ISO, but obviously you'd need to stay within DVD size limits to use physical media.

Windows has been multi-GB bootable ISOs for over a decade at this point.
Their hourly pay is misleading, because of overtime and container royalties.

The ports would absolutely love to hire more workers. It's the union that tightly controls membership, to rake in that lucrative overtime.
This is why I think it's a mistake that many popular languages, including standard c/c++, do not support nested function definitions. This for me is the happy medium where code can be broken into clear chunks, but cannot be called outside of the intended scope. A good compiler can also detect if the nested function is only called once and inline it.
