In my case I complete my ballot ahead of time and drop it in a ballot box, which are distributed around my city. Then I get an email from my county clerk when my ballot has been counted.

I think the concern about things getting lost in the mail is reasonable, but is a separate issue; the mail system is supposed to be a highly trustworthy distribution system for sensitive documents. Hell, it's how you get your passport. That's why it's a state department (in the US, anyway) in the first place: it's an essential government function to have a communications channel with a given citizen.

I've been concerned about cuts made to the USPS leading up to the previous election, both because of the obvious impact on the USPS's ability to handle election materials, but also because of the potential impact on the arrival of other essential, time-sensitive documents. (Not essential, but my mother's anniversary card to myself and my partner fully bounced this year, after three weeks in transit. We only live 130 miles apart.)

My point is: threat models that center on the mail system somehow being unreliable are a valid concern, but missing the point.
The default Windows taskbar doesn't haven't given you tabs for a very long time, has been mostly unusable if you use it as tabs recently, and only has 1 level of tabs, while keeping tabs inside the application gives you another.

> These micro VMs operate without a kernel or operating system, keeping overhead low. Instead, guests are built specifically for Hyperlight using the Hyperlight Guest library, which provides a controlled set of APIs that facilitate interaction between host and guest

Sounds like this is closer to a chroot/unikernel than a "micro VM" - a slightly more firewalled chroot without most of the os libs, or a unikernel without the kernel. Pretty sure it's not a "virtual machine" though.

Only pointing this out because these sorts of containers/unikernels/vms exist on a spectrum, and each type carries its own strengths and limitations; calling this by the wrong name associates it with the wrong set of tradeoffs.

We forget how to speak. AI creates a real Tower of Babel.
Hey not sure if you are a native-English speaker but considering the context of this thread you might not be and just wanted to clarify:
"to blame" here might be a bit confusing as a common English expression "is X to blame for Y?" actually means "is X the reason Y occurs?".

It's confusing because "blame" can have a negative connotation...but in this instance it's used in an expression that basically means "the reason something happens".

Please ignore me if you already knew this but just wanted it to be out there in case you didn't.

Why is game development fun? I mean not that it can’t be, but why it specifically. Past some experience that OP definitely is, there’s fun in much more areas and in programming in general (I say much more, but gamedev may not even be included into the set). Personally, a game is probably the last thing I’d program if given lots of free time and a PC.

Your point is valid.

After Visual Studio 2008, they rewrote the UI in WPF and started writing large components of the program in C#. This dramatically regressed performance, especially on a cold start (it runs decently if you've had the program open for a while). I'd probably still be using Visual Studio 2008, except it limits you to C89 and C++03.
I like the website. The little puzzle holds my attention for enough seconds to make me curious. The issue is just the lack of information after you figure it out.

Why do you think Apple does anything to defend it system against government surveillance, beyond token gestures to provide plausible deniability? It's a PRISM company.

Undeprecating something is truly a rare sight.

Not sure I agree with this entirely, especially the points on media. And I don’t think it’s been beneficial at all.

I’d argue the problem here is more so quality, and can really only be solved with regulation. I want to read news, not a blog and opinion.

There should be clear and concise standards media outlets need to adhere to, but as per my suggestion in regards to social media; will not self regulate.

Additionally; there is no accountability and responsibility.

I would argue that the only benefit that has been made is making this more apparent and obvious.. and hopefully for the better.

I've been putting it to use on a monorepo that has Go, Typescript, terraform and some sql and it always looks at the right files for the task. I like the UX way better than cursor - I like reviewing all changes at once and making minor tweaks when necessary.

Ask HN: Life-changing purchases since 2020? (Under $100 and under $1000)
Hey folks,

I’m curious – is there anything you've bought in the past few years (since 2020) that really changed something in your life? Could be anything, like a gadget, a course, a subscription, even a massage or some random item you didn't think much of at first.

Let’s split it up into two categories:

- Under $100
- Under $1000

What did you get? And what was the impact? I’d love to hear the stories – big or small changes, whatever made a difference for you.

Thanks in advance for sharing!

> Minnesota had the DFL. North Dakota had the NPL.

You are right. I blame my recollection of it being very "farmer based".

I believe Heitkamp lost to Cramer who was an early Trump backer, in a state that was/(still possibly is) in love with Trump - possibly due to him being 1 of few candidates to ever stop in the state due to lack of electoral votes.

The polarization of the state also gave her no chances of winning. She had won the seat from Sen Conrad (of the Democrat party & in-law of former Republican governor Ed Schafer). Conrad was senator for roughly 26 years. It'll be interesting to see if/when the Dakotas ever goes back to being purple.
My previous company, which made high-availability (Active/Standby) routers for mobile networks, used QNX as the OS. I remain impressed by its capabilities.

My memory is rusty, but we ran QNX on the control-plane processors, and it natively allowed launching processes on remote processors over the internal network of the router. That is: their low-level IPC was IP-capable. QNX's IPC was essential for our HA failover functionality.

Also, device drivers as user-space processes that you could restart on crash was great (we were developing our network drivers, so this would occasionally happen). Also, better respect for devices actually showing up in the /dev/ tree, unlike Linux where network devices are a notable exception.

One funny story, I once spent days debugging an issue which turned out to be due to me accidentally marking const the return values of some IPC, which caused my process to crash in between QNX's IPC function and mine! Whatever level of debugger (C/userspace) I was using at the time could not catch the error ^^;

> we’re still only scratching the surface

We can explain 99% of the world with solid, liquid and gas. Add plasma for another 9. Weird stuff like superfuids and supersolids are very unusual. They may be interesting for some aplications in the future. (I guess that when superconductivity was discovered that every major city would have a few superconductivity devices in it. (Google says 50.000 MRI worldwide.))

Even simple solids (specially semiconductors) have a lot of applications that use quantum mechanics, and there are many rabbit holes with more rabbit holes at their bottom. Most of them are explored or partially explored, but there are still many to explore in the future.

Philosophically, I would argue that you did not complete the game.

You skipped several levels and saw only some percentage of the intended content, gameplay, story, etc. Games in general, and Ecco the Dolphin is no exception, are very much about the journey and not just the destination. You missed out on themes & experiences like isolation, making friends with those outside of your in-group, conservation, time travel, communing with dinosaurs and, of course, space travel.

So, you really shouldn't have felt so guilty.

Love the demo video! Three quick questions:

Any specific reason to choose the terminal as the interface? Do you plan to make it more extensible in the future? (sounds like this could be wrapped with an extension for any IDE, which is exciting)

Also, do you see it being a problem that you can't point it to specific lines of code? In Cursor you can select some lines and CMD+K to instruct an edit. This takes away that fidelity, is it because you suspect models will get good enough to not require that level of handholding?

Do you plan to benchmark this with swe-bench etc.?

It's been shown that heavy stress in children can modify the glucocorticoid receptor gene which your brain uses for stress response. The study of this phenomenon is called Epigenetics.

Demand for X goes up when prices for X go down.

First day of Econ 101.

If X consists of two complementary components, A and B, then if the price for either A or B goes down, then the total price for X goes down, demand for X goes up. Which means demand for A and B went up.

Even if the price of only one of A or B went down.

So if the price of A goes down, demand for B goes up.

If software prices go down, then demand for the hardware to run that software on goes up.
Great question!

In Codebuff you don't have to manually specify any files. It finds the right ones for you! It also pulls more files to get you a better result. I think this makes a huge difference in the ergonomics of just chatting to get results.

Codebuff also will run commands directly, so you can ask it to write unit tests and run them as it goes to make sure they are working.
I got to try it a while back and same problem, it uses very recent versions of C++ which my distro didn't support. I finally got the AppImage, but I had a few breaking bugs, making it too unreliable for actual work. But I also noticed that the project is quite active, so maybe most of the issues are fixed now. Maybe I should give it a try.

For now, my hex editor of choice is 010editor. Not free software, but the best for my application. Like ImHex, it supports huge files and block devices, and it has a powerful definition language.

It seems like whether this represents a mutable or immutable data structure depends on the operations you allow. If polling with nonvar() is allowed, couldn’t you see variables mutate as you do more unification? But if it’s not allowed, I guess you get a variable to be defined later?

Compare with a Promise. If you can check whether it resolved, you can see it mutate. If the only operation allowed is to await it then from the code’s point of view, it might be considered an immutable reference to the pending result.
Of course it's a problem when Trump and Vance do it.

But to me, the difference is this: Vance said "miserable childless cat ladies" about people who were Harris supporters. They already weren't going to vote for Trump. But the Democrats are pointing contempt at people that have, historically, been the Democrats' core constituency.

Vance is alienating Harris voters, Democrats are alienating their own voters. In that way, it's different. It's not morally different - contempt is contempt - but it's practically different.
