> When is it the time to talk about alternatives

When all standards bodies and governments decide that POSIX is a hindrance which might take a few decades. And that is if they decide.
Usually what happens is that it's tested under ideal "lab conditions", so this never happens. In real life ovens get a bit grimy and produce more smoke. Stuff like that. Still shoddy engineering of course.

It's the same with designers doing their light-grey text on a white background with their 8K colour-perfect screen in optimal lighting conditions, and then when you point out this is difficult to read they go "I don't see the problem!"
The worst is the dishwasher buttons/lights on the edge of the door so you can't look at them without opening it. What is this stupid trend?
Maybe not accessible in the a11y sense, but definitely accessible in the "can read without DRM" sense. I'll take a book I can keep and read whenever and however I want to one that has to phone home and ask a giant corporation if it's ok.
No you can't.

The closest you could get to this would be:

1. assuming a running process pA on nodeA, registered in a cluster-level process registry by name N;

2. send the process pA's state to a function on node B, which will use it to start a process pB on node B that is a clone of pA;

3. update the cluster-level process registry to point N at pB.

4. if you want to be really clever — tail-call (or code-upgrade) pA out of its existing loop, into code that makes pA act as a proxy for pB, so that anything sending a message to pA ends up talking to pB through pA.

But this isn't "sending a process"; pA itself remains "stuck" on nodeA (node IDs are actually embedded in PIDs!), and there's especially no native mechanism that would do things like rewrite the links/monitors on other processes that currently point to pA, to instead point to pB (so if pA was a supervisor, you couldn't "re-parent" the children of pA over to pB.)
unnecessary limitation

if it was a cheap chinese tier 3 mice that would still be debatable

I disagree with this. The touchscreen on my phone allows for so much versatile applications than is possible with physical buttons.

I really don't miss the days where applications had to retrofit their controls onto a fixed physical setting.

Sure, maybe for dialling a phone number or texting it was better. But for everything else I do on a phone, give me a touchscreen.
I know. The idea is to share and collaborate on the same checklist. No installed apps. I want to give a direct URL for someone not a play store URL.
Touchscreens are perfectly fine on phones, tablets etc. But for something like a car it takes a special kind of idiot to implement a touch only way of controlling things like heating/ac, volume, etc.

Even for certain audio controls it makes no sense. My (fairly old now) Toyota's touch screen is needed for switch between radio and usb (no carplay/android auto), even thats annoying to use.
I've been using Emacs for ages. The performance is probably somewhat below average, but I just learned to ignore it. Having better editing features is worth more to me than responsive keyboard input. It would be nice to have both of course, but I don't think switching to a different editor would be worth it for me.
Apple logic dictates that they found a way to shrink the notch years ago but have been waiting for a redesign to roll it out so they don't upset the current design language of the Mac.

Sure do love the form over function reality we live in, today. Yessiree.
I haven't heard of this in any major PC title, but still, it fits the general idea that Elo-like systems are there to measure relative chances of winning, not skill.
At the very least, add the issues to your checklist!
I could be stretching the definition of "does" but the newfound(?) tree-sitter support in Emacs[1] I believe would allow that since it for sure understands the distinction but I don't possess enough font-lock ninjary to actually, for real, bind a different color to the distinct usages

/* given foo.c */
int main() {
int a, *b;
a = 5 * 10;
b = &a;
printf("a is %d\n", *b);
}

and then M-x c-ts-mode followed by navigating to each * and invoking M-x treesit-inspect-node-at-point in turn produces, respectively:

(declaration declarator: (pointer_declarator "*"))

right: (binary_expression operator: "*")

arguments: (argument_list (pointer_expression operator: "*"))

Sure, I've been doing a lot of full-stack web development lately, and I found that reading chapters from the textbook "Computer Networks" by Andrew Tenenbaum as a primary source to be far more enlightening about how networks operate, than reading any of the hottest frameworks documentation on how they work under-the-hood. Corporate documentation tends to be more about giving off the vibe of competence, as opposed to being actually informative. They want to make it look like their tool/framework is easy to learn by offering false senses of understanding, instead of the deep understanding provided by textbooks. There are exceptions, but they seem to be growing more and more rare. Compare man pages for old CLI tools versus documentation for frameworks like Next.JS, which tends to gloss over important implementation details that might make you a better overall developer (instead of a framework wrangler).

On the side, I'm trying to enhance my knowledge on embedded systems as well, and picked up the book "Making Embedded System" by Elecia White. I have learned so much in just the first few chapters, even though I worked on an embedded software project for a full year recently. This has served me well, because previously my understanding of embedded systems was more of at the level of an Arduino, rather than an embedded developer. Arduino is fantastic for getting your feet wet, but it does hide away a lot of slightly complicated details (that are not actually that hard to learn with a little effort).

I would basically say, always prefer lengthy and somewhat dry textbooks over superficial and meme-heavy blog posts (or worse, YouTube videos). Learn the subject as if you only have one shot in your career to learn it, and have to learn a permanent representation of the subject that can last decades. Entertaining corporate docs, blog posts and videos are like a sugar-heavy diet for the mind, you'll feel energized at first, but eventually become sick from lack of deep understanding of anything

In a twist of irony, here is a blog post that explains this idea reasonably well - https://archive.ph/XSPRr

Here's a canonical blog post (again, the irony) on why understanding subjects deeply is important - https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/11/11/the-law-of-leaky-a...
Someone is drinking the 'bespoke artisan' koolaid.

Food additives are almost entirely about making products more visually appealing or shelf stable. Cellulose to keep cheese from sticking, nitrogen to keep meat from oxidizing, etc.

Your 'bespoke artisan' products are mostly improved marketing and improved staging (better lighting, less crowded stores, more personal service, etc)

It’s weird that we are in the minority (I guess I’m not shocked since this is HN). Very little on the Internet is useful for survival in an Internet down scenario. And if the Internet is gone, we must have far bigger problems. Libraries are going to be far more useful, and books don’t require electricity. I grew up in a place with lots of power outages and the main thing you are worried about is having hot water for a bath or a being able to cook a meal.

Tangential thought but we should probably work hard to preserve libraries in the future. Real ones, with books. They are really unmatched when it comes to longevity and safeguarding information in a way that computers cannot replicate.

base64 isn’t just for images. You can encode text so unsure why you’d need OCR?
In addition to what others are saying, US law requires new cars to have back up cameras and the related screen. So everything else immediately becomes "so we add it to the screen we already have to have, or add a new physical control?"

On another note, I do like my (getting older) Mazda's screen. It has touch, but I honestly forget it does because the control knob is so much better for use while driving. Nice and tactile. Additionally all of the important controls have physical buttons. Only major problem I have with it is that if it can't connect to Bluetooth (which is stupidly often), it decides to switch back to radio, blasting that at me. Then I have to sit there going through multiple menus to get Bluetooth reconnected.
Those are actually different technologies, and I'm guessing you got used to the pressure sensitivity on older cars. They use resistive touchscreens which are cheaper. Cheap android tablets used to routinely use those instead of the capacitive touchscreens as well. It's been a while since I had to use a resistive touchscreen, and I'm glad for it.
Hold yourself when you hear that States are discussing a backdoor (edit: "workaround") on how they could trade Electoral College votes without amending the Constitution:

That surprised me, too, because a previous version of the system used smaller bin stacks and no steps.

Amazon could have gone in the other direction. The layout could be designed so that the picker sits on a swivel stool and never stands at all. That's what they do when they test robot picking - there's one human-sized robot arm on a turntable mount doing the picking.

Humans would get fat with that layout.

Right now during Early Access, the first hard limit would be that the database size is capped at 1GB. Of course, this will be increased as we go to General Availability.
We're also planning on shipping a way to directly connect to the database vs. operating through Accelerate queries solely.
During EA, I'd probably go with seeding from a pg dump. For GA, we'll provide a better way to move to Prisma Postgres if you're already using a pg database somewhere else.
Got it. I'm just unsure whether I can use the other uv features like pin with it? That feature feels like it was added and the benefits or trade-offs weren't documented. At least I don't see it.

Re: FPTP vs ranked choice/condorcet/instant runoff/etc

In US elections, any alternative voting system would essentially require computers. With all the complexity, problems and mistrust that they bring. Also those alternative systems are subject to gamification as shown in recent elections in Alaska and France. No fraud or illegality, but the will of the people was arguably thwarted by introduction of confounding candidates.

Re: parliamentary vs US representation

US was designed to have a true republic (not a democratic republic) but with a democratic lower house as a counterbalance to a non democratic upper house. The 17th amendment screwed us as it made sure that all the drama from the lower house spread to both houses, and now our congress is entirely captured by lobbyists as every legislator now has to worry about financing campaigns. It wasn’t supposed to work that way.

The US was not supposed to be one big country with uniform laws. It was supposed to be N number of mostly independent states with a common currency + a common defense + a safeguards against states taking advantage of each other. The basic assumption is that most laws are not one-size-fits-all, and that each state should be largely autonomous and figure out the laws that work best for that state’s citizens.

The more people you try to put under the same set of laws, the more likely it is that the weak will be taken advantage of by the strong. Take California water management- the populous cities, in true democratic fashion, determine what farmers can do with the water on and under their land, and special interests can contribute to campaigns for favor and end up getting water rights to water on your land, because democracy!

But all these are the “why” of the US election system, which is kinda orthogonal to how we vote and count.

I'm not trying to make you divulge anything. I don't particularly care who you talk to, or who you are, nor do I care if you take it as a "personal insult" that you might be wrong.

You are right that it would be nuts that multiple senior people would collude to lie to you, which is why it's almost certainly more likely that you are just misunderstanding the information that was provided to you. It's possible to prove that you are incorrect based on publicly available data from multiple different sources. You can keep being stubborn if you want, but that won't make any of your statements correct.

You didn't ask for my advice, but I'll give it anyway: try to be more open to the possibility that you're wrong, especially when evidence that you're wrong is right in front of you. End of story.
Depends on how many ballots you sample, but the number you could change would only matter in an extremely close election and in my state, if a vote is within 0.5%, it triggers an automatic recount. These systems have layers of auditing and validation to prevent these errors whether intentional or not.
Yeah. Capitalism would have built a ton the types of apartments the GP is talking about if they were allowed. But, people who already have a place don't want that type of development near them.
You mean the system we have already? The number of ineligible voters actively voting is inconsequential. Yes there are a few. Literally a few. It’s not the booger man the GOP would have is believe.
League is miserable to play, for three main reasons. The first is 30min-1hr games are the norm, and second that entire time you are playing with a group who have nearly no experience together, finally the community is genuinely horrible even on a good day. You spent an hour of your life on a team with an external locus of control who spew vitriol at everyone else and who are probably not making optimal choices themselves for nothing more than points on a scoreboard. The only way to feel accomplished in that situation is to win, because no amount of self-improvement will help someone when their teammate is trying to solo lane with Smolder, or whatever player RNG the game throws your way.

Fighting games cannot be compared to LoL in any way shape or form, they are shorter individual competitions where the only real excuse you have is internal.
From a quick read, after a first round where you play another team at random or so, in each round players are "sorted according to their cumulative scores and [play against] opponents with the same or similar score". At the same time, it avoids having to play the same opponent twice. I don't see how one decides how many rounds to play, but not sure if that detail matters

Reading the analysis section, this is how it compares to a knock-out tournament:

> Assuming no drawn games, determining a clear winner [requires] the same number of rounds as that of a knockout tournament [...] Compared to a knockout tournament, a Swiss system has the advantage of not eliminating anyone [and] that the final ranking gives some indication of the relative strengths of all contestants, not just of the tournament winner. [However,] sometimes a player has such a great lead that by the last round they are assured of winning the tournament [such that it] does not always end with the exciting climax
100% agree on both accounts. Tariffs often don't work, or only partly meet their original goals. They're especially bad if done as a blanket tariff rather than target on specific products or industries.

Not sure if Trump would actually be planning to add targeted tariffs or blanket tariffs. Hopefully not the later, if we're stuck with him rather than stuck with Harris.

People here seem to be filling in a lot of details from their imagination.

Intel's losses all revolve around upgrading and spinning up their new fabs, fabs for which there is no other global competition besides TSMC and Samsung. The latest process was delayed.

Once they start filling orders, they will be the ones filling the hole that could be left in US microchip capabilities that are in imminent danger, being largely based in Taiwan.

Their new desktop chips are cracked, their Gaudi 3 accelerators, that just started shipping five weeks ago, are a shade better than H100's, for half the cost, and with improved and much more affordable capabilities for interconnect, in addition to other features.

It's incredibly important for the US to continue its push to building up the domestic TSMC, Intel, and related chip infrastructure that it has so far funded (though, has largely not paid out, contributing even further to Intel's current situation).

Perhaps, if tariffs really do come in, we'll see the many fab-less chip designers that people are praising in this thread bring their manufacturing back to American manufacturers. As they damned well should.
You may want to consider a keep-alive strategy based on usage and not an arbitrary static timeout. What if I need my checklist for 7.5 days? A corollary is that this may reduce your overall data usage as a lot of people may create a list and immediately abandon it. If you can expire those in less than 7 days, you're saving.
Project IMU Array
No, because judging from the wording of your question you apparently hardly understand what the Middle East is.

a) There are many, radically different Middle Eastern countries that have wildly different opinions and philosophies towards startups. The culture fit is entirely different from what you are familiar with in Europe and will necessitate different business strategies.

b) A majority of the investment funds coming from the Middle East is sourced from unsustainable oil revenue, and is motivated by a neverending hunger for moonshots. Startups that cannot prove their worth immediately are going to be filtered out or cut off.

c) Many Middle Eastern nations (the Emirates, for example) struggle to integrate with global policy. It would not be surprising if your business ended up on an export control list as a result of the UAE's importation of indentured workers from India and Pakistan. And that's only covering the secular concerns...

You should only consider moving your business to the Middle East if there is a directly tangible benefit to the outcome. Otherwise you are pretty much exclusively downgrading the profile, target market and soft-power of your business.
