It is written very strangely. It's not exactly like they reached the decision to use F-line traps for co-processors, I'm pretty sure F-line traps were designated by Motorola for co-processors, and A-line traps were free for use for OS and Toolbox trap instructions.

The "software crashed expecting a co-processor" part doesn't make any sense either, you were always supposed to check if a co-processor was available. There was no big rug pull or anything, both the first models and some later models simply did not have co-processors. Developers were provided this information.

And the last two sentences seem completely unrelated to the prior ones, so I'm not really sure what they're trying to string together.
It is a different "adjacent" product.
I don’t get why they’re suggesting that iPhone communicate to each other to reboot. I mean, what do the iPhone gain? Both have the system time and know for how long they have had no mobile network. They don’t have to set up complicated communication for that. What does the other device know more than the iPhone that makes it know that it has to restart?
This would have been interesting if true, but this other HN comment suggests it isn’t https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9374977
They could even reuse the footage for the next mersenne prime they find.
Also, I never fully grokked Differential Dataflow but I get DBSP so I would love an explanation of how Differential Dataflow differs from DBSP.
Sounds a bit like pandoc.

I was asking about whether or not OCaml has the ability to target specific integer size and signedness, as F# does. I would like to construct precise software that targets the specific kinds of ints that compilers have historically facilitated microprocessors to process, but using a functional language instead of C or C++.

The F# folks (including Don Syme) did a fantastic job on the early versions of the language (I used it up to ver 2 or early 3), but I am tired of the corporate engine that funds that ecosystem. I now construct my software within an operating system of a different pedigree. Such considerations are important to me, but thanks for sharing your preference. As for me, I hate nothing or no one, but I am as picky as a poor man can be about whom I choose to rely on for my tools.

As for your opinion on the borderlands of mental illness, I'll contact you at your outlook email address should I seek your opinion about such differently-technical topics. But I was only asking if the OCaml compiler can target specific varieties of ints, as the .NET compiler does.
I wouldn't mind if it didn't keep recommending me videos I've already watched (they're showing the red bar! they know I've watched it!) or from channels I've already said no to or on topics I've frequently said no to or on topics that I watched one video on[1] and now YouTube thinks I want a full page of similar videos.

The algorithm is, for want of some better words, absolute cack.

Yes, if you don't need sandboxing then containers are just way easier to deal with. Although I wish they didn't use so much space.
Very cool ! I'm happy this comes from fellow french men.
Of course, this comes still at a pretty high cost and you need to have the tools to do it but it's pretty usual for the "hackers" to have those things around anyway.

In any case even with all the added complexity/cost from different providers you still come out 2 times cheaper than Apple, which is completely crazy considering they definitely don't pay the NAND modules as high and don't need to pay for a special reverse engineered board.

This is what leaves a very bad taste in mouth with Apple stuff. Even with all the absurd amounts of money they are making on base devices they still can't help themselves and price basic stuff in a predatory way.

Everyone would be completely fine with a little bit of markup, but it currently is at an insane level.

Roundup (glyphosate) is not targeted either, except for not killing roundup-ready crops.
I appreciate the response, and it does indeed help. Maybe I'm not missing out on much after all.

The activity is good advice. Some of my closest friends I've meet though hobbies I enjoyed - I'll just need to apply the same strategy, though it definitely feels tougher to do without having school as a crutch to force socializing.
It's the other way around, overwhelmingly so:

"With 290 cyclist fatalities in 2022, cyclists were the largest group of road casualties." [1]

"Cycling prevents about 6500 deaths each year, and Dutch people have half-a-year-longer life expectancy because of cycling. These health benefits correspond to more than 3% of the Dutch gross domestic product. Our study confirmed that investments in bicycle-promoting policies (e.g., improved bicycle infrastructure and facilities) will likely yield a high cost–benefit ratio in the long term." [2]

---

That's just the big picture though, I suspect your statistics are wrong directly as well. Cycling deaths are very skewed towards the elderly [3], so it appears that if you're under 50, cycling is statistically safer than driving, no matter how you look at it.

And it is working generally very well if you compare GCP and Azure. DX is much better at GCP but Azure does stuff that companies care much better and is 2x bigger.
I wake up, and go on hacker news to see what people are doing. With my coffee in hand I play your game, fingers still cold. I loved it. Reminds me of when I was younger. Fun names to all the monsters.

Also, even other lightweight games like this that I've tried before sometimes stutter, or take forever to load in, this is amazing.

If I can ask what kind of tech stack is used to make something this smooth, and run on the web?
Absolutely not the case, in my experience.

Like any advanced tool, it’s possible to shoot yourself in the foot if you don’t use it correctly. But once you know it, it makes simple queries easy, complex queries tolerable, and allows progressively dropping to raw SQL if needed.

I’d go even further and say ActiveRecord (particularly when using Arel for complex query construction) is the single best ORM I’ve ever used. I miss it hard whenever I interact with an SQL database in any other language.
I know somebody who relocated his entire family after 20+ years in the U.S and is loving it. People are not as monolithic as we are likely to believe sometimes.
Actually, at least in the UK, Ubers are licensed by local councils. They have all sorts of stupid restrictions like if they drive someone to another city they cannot pick up any passengers there so they have to drive back empty even if a customer could have booked the journey. This is Enforced, DRM style, by the app. The same rule exists for local private hire companies but they can ignore it when it makes sense to.
/bin/sh, i.e. the Bourne shell, has been written by a programmer who was experienced in ALGOL 68, having implemented some significant projects in it.

In designing the language interpreted by the shell, he has taken several features directly from ALGOL 68.

However he has also done one improvement, renaming the bracket pair keywords "do" and "od" to "do" and "done", responding thus to the criticism of many programmers towards ALGOL 68, that "od" sounds odd.
what if the power structure you are under hates you and wants you to die?
I think I disagree with this.

Not about using raw SQL when needed. I would definitely do that for a hot, complex query if I felt I needed to but I think ActiveRecord is rock solid if you know how to use it and how to examine its output.

There are times where an ORM is a very useful tool and I've found ActiveRecord to be better than most home made query generators I’ve run into regardless of base language.
There have been multiple credible sources with internal documents claiming that iPhone with the current firmware (>17) can’t be hacked currently.
It’s in constant flux, obviously, but iOS is very advanced on this aspect. Android phones on the other hand, apart from the Pixels >6, are all hackable with appropriate tooling.
They suggest the connection is tenuous, not that there is none. Though I'll admit that I [mis?]remembered it as being a little more direct than that.
> i use microns instead of 0.001mm

What "micron" are you referring to here? The "micron" I am familiar with is exactly that one (i.e. 1 micron = 1µm = 0.001mm).
I think the point frellus made was that you shouldn’t be allowed to create reasonable doubt by bringing up something you know is not true/relevant. If the lawyer know no mouthwash was involved, it shouldn’t be allowed to use the ambiguity created by mouthwash to discredit the measurement. At least that’s how I understood it.
yes, Human mitochondria only generate less than 20 types of protein; all other things they need are from cytoplasm.
Yes, stripe sucks
Well the nvidia would have no trouble doing that at the refresh rate, resolution and colour depth that the atari was using if that was the target. Ataris were great for their time no doubt but to optimise very high frame rate, colour depth and resolution a modern graphics api is doing some setup that requires a bit of time so that the common case works very smoothly after that.
> Being totally open and honest with suspects gives them control over the situation, at least to the guilty suspects who by definition know more than the police ever can.

This fails to account for innocent suspects, who are already having a bad day and are all too often convicted despite their innocence. The police not knowing means that they should be careful, not reckless. You cannot presume guilt in order to justify lying or psychological torture.

> Ever wonder why cops ask you how fast you were going before they pulled you over? Its because they are unsure and want you to admit your mistake. It is trickery but not evil.

It’s also not lying.
In my experience -- I'm a staff engineer -- it's basically a senior engineer in a technical leadership role, but not a manager. I spend 50% of my time working on code and providing technical direction for seniors. The rest of the time is spent in architecture and planning meetings. I don't do 1-on-1s. I don't do personnel reviews. My manager handles all of that.
Comes up all the time. Steam engine valve gear is a pulse-width modulation motor driver. Number 5 Crossbar, the best electromechanical telephone switch, is a distributed redundant microservices architecture. Western Union Plan-55A, for switching telegrams, is a mail server and forwarder. Each of those, in its day, was unique in its space, with its own terminology and theory. Today we see them as instances of common patterns.

Right now, large language models are in that state. They work, but why they work and why they fail is barely understood. As more systems are developed in that space and adjacent to it, more general understanding may emerge.
Ideally, Mozilla would step up here given their mission statement, but they won't, probably because their CEO needs another bonus.
Perhaps, but there’s a light hearted moment going on.

Sounds like something you would say about your smartphone.
You're right. But still, I think it's education. For you and me, learning math and physics corresponds to education. For rural Guatemala where's no school, even learning what is sex and how children are made is education.

It started with the Internet and social web. Where you can see others having good life and other things making you think about own life.

We need more data, I can't work like this! :)
It's easy to get cynical about the review process. But just, for crying out loud, put yourself in the organisation's shoes. Tech is full of BS, and full of bullshitters. With the size of this organisation they need some consistent metrics, however not great these are, to assess and gauge performance versus other employees. You can't have the decision to promote in your manager's hands exclusively, they don't have the visibility of the organisation. The author also sounds like he went 'off books' a bit helping out on things they were interested in, rather than what was on jira boards or whatever their sponsor cared about. You'll get punished for this in a lot of places, it's just how it is. Management need to see what you are doing.
> Given there was a gap of 6 years between the discovery of this mersenne prime and the previous

It was the largest gap so far. Several primes were quite close. The next one might be discovered much sooner. Previos two had a gap of a bit less than a year.
I use qpdf for this:

to keep only pages 1-9 and pages 26 to the last page of input.pdf and save them to output.pdf.

qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1-9,26-z -- output.pdf

keep the first page and pages 100-292

qpdf input.pdf --pages . 1-1,100-292 -- output.pdf

The page range is a set of numbers separated by commas, ranges of
numbers separated dashes, or combinations of those.

The character "z" represents the last page.
Combine with proper social policies that make it possible for families to live on a single income, and you can bet that most women will choose children over career.

i very much doubt that, for reasons already explained. most women will not want to be dependent on a man or the state to be able survive. they will choose independence over having children.

it used to be possible for a family to live on one salary. and for work in IT or other high paying jobs it still is. if you were right then most families who could afford to live on one salary would do so, but they don't, and those who could not would protest.

no matter what policies we enact, women do not want to stay at home.
they want a career just like men. and i see no reason why they shouldn't.

people do not want to live on a single income. besides the independence for women they also prefer the extra wealth.

if we want people to have more children we need to allow everyone to combine working and raising children.

You will see that most are not doing by choice, but because of circumstances

ok, i have to concede that point. if we allow sunday work we do need to have some strong protections to allow people to refuse, and it's probably not easy to work out what is needed to do that, and i don't know if we want to explore that in this discussion.

in the US btw people can demand the sunday off to practice their religion. it's not enough, but it is at least something.
You're absolutely right but this is HN so any criticisms of the great us of a will earn you a storm of down votes.
I use a modified version of vimdiff as my daily diff tool:
https://gist.github.com/PhilipRoman/60066716b5fa09fcabfa6c95...

I find it easier to navigate that way since the diff of each file is in its own tab (yes I know... not how tabs are meant to be used)

For grep, vim's built in location list seems good enough. As for blame, I haven't used it since learning about git log -L. Vastly superior in my opinion.
Are people using Rails for new startups?

It feels like I haven't heard anything new about Rails for the past five years, but suddenly in the last few weeks it's been a trending topic on HN.
I work in graphics. Calling this transparency would be a terrible idea and make a lot of discussions around compression of videos and images with actual transparency very confusing.

Does the compression algorithm work well for transparency? Yes, it's effect on transparency is totally transparent! In fact the transparency is fully transparently compressed by our codec.

Yeah, don't do this please. Perceptually lossless is a term I've heard lots of times before and companies developing codecs usually have a fairly strong technical basis for making the claim. As in, it's not like they just glance at the results and say "yep, looks good to me". Rather, they'll be looking and spectral curves and image diffs - probably also motion diffs for videos - and checking whether they the losses are small enough to be undetectable to human eyes.
I know this is not exactly your point, but it's important to remember that it's not exactly everything. The intra-uterine environment has a serious contribution to your development, and almost certainly transplanting the fecundated cell into a different mother would lead to a different person being born. Especially when it comes to things like intestinal flora, which mostly seems to get "seeded" from the mother during birth. Even the milk you ingest after birth significantly influences certain aspects of your basic biology (mostly the immune system).
I know it sounds bad but as long as it is private stuff you cannot choose what people prefer whether that is discrimination or not.

In fact, if someone does not want me somewhere, I would not need to stay there to like them.

Also, how do you know it is always discrimination? Sometimes it might be but sometimes maybe no. It is a problem without a good solution that I think trying to solve brings further trouble (in these situations, I do not support any kind of legal discrimination, of course).
It’s very interesting to learn about Cyrix and how innovative they happened to be. Back in the 90s most of us, at least in Europe, learned about Cyrix from either friends or shop clerks. And back then Cyrix had a terrible reputation, they were considered almost as illegal Intel CPU clones. AMD also had a terrible reputation until they released their Socket 7 AMD K6 CPUs and later on their Super Socket 7 K6-2, K6-3 CPU’s just before their amazing Athlon and Duron family. Cyrix never regained any reputation, and slowly their offerings ended up mixed with VIA or Centaur CPUs. Celeron and AMD CPU’s were already cheap enough so no one was buying Cyrix anymore to just save $20-$30 on a $1000 computer.
The funniest thing is Americans really believe what they have is the best in the world. USA is third world country with a Gucci belt
I think it's just pretty hard to recommend things outside of what they know you like.

You can log off and look at what's popular on your country's front page. I get a couple popular music videos, clash of clans, soccer, and a whole lot of clickbait/prank/you won't believe this/pikachu face thumbnail videos.
I have had a similar idea for a game since I was a child ~20 years ago.

My vision was a mix between a FPS where where you have a squad with you that you can order around with say quick wheel actions. Then you could "zoom out" to the battlefield to give more RTS style commands.

One key thing was any of the members of your local squad could be multiplayer real people instead of NPCs and also others could fill out the squads you are commanding.

Then daydreams about a hierarchical command structure where the player in the game with the highest "rank" is the highest in command. His "tactical RTS" view is just controlling say a few platoons but nothing more specific than general orders. Then say each platoon would have a commander (highest rank again, etc) who would have to implement orders from above using both his FPS view or using his tactical RTS view which now let's him control squads. Then down the line a squad commander who can control members of his team and so on.

I think it would be a bit rigid and I know of games which check off a few boxes but I would love something like this.
Show HN: Tool to discover your YC network connections before Nov 12 deadline
With YC W24 applications closing on Nov 12, I built a tool to help founders discover existing connections they might have to YC partners and alumni.
The tool analyzes your professional network (from calendar and email) and maps it against our index of YC team members and founders to show:

* Direct connections you may have forgotten about

* Second-degree connections through your network

* Paths to reach relevant YC partners or founders

Video demo: https://www.loom.com/share/97bf6a42c7eb4712b77cfbb55a9d518f

The tool: https://graph.one/

Built this because many founders don't realize they might already have valuable connections in their network who could provide application feedback or introductions.
Why does everyone have to share their real life identity on the Internet? Why do you care?
That's nuance to talk about, surely, but do they? Did you threaten the NSA's spying capability with some novel encryption or something?

I try to avoid materialized views when I can due to the problem of keeping them up to date.

If I see a materialized view I’d definitely go back to see if I could eke out any other optimisation in a straight view rather than use it.

With regard to Scenic, I like the way it separates out SQL but I’ve always found how it versions view files with an iteration in the file name a pain.

I wish it had the option to just pick up changes in the source file without needing a migration to bump that version number.

On larger projects it’s easy to run into version number clashes in different pull requests.
I didn’t notice it before so I am not sure it is new. But I do see it in the US. Seems like it aggregates sites with primarily user generated content. Reddit, Quora, Stackoverflow, etc
I know this one is a stretch, but one of my argument is: if they're paying to put up a billboard which I cannot ignore because it's out in the real world where I walk with my eyes open, they force a craving inside me. They literally payed money to instill a want in me that I never asked for. This is not a secondary effect, it's why they put the Billboard there.

In that case it's ethical to resolve this want by consuming the content without paying. Sorry if I'm not Monk McMonkface and deny this want with mental fortitude, but they have a whole marketing agency and I'm just trying to get by.
Your “trying to frame a man” is their “trying to get him to confess to something he did”. It’s intellectually lazy on their part to jump to that conclusion without any sort of due diligence, but it’s not necessarily evil per se.

Threatening to kill the dog is just plain cruel.
Your opponent justified himself that TikTok ban was necessary- he looked some antisemitic videos, and this is it, he promotes terrorism and antisemitism, totally falling under propaganda.

Only if you assume it went the seemingly straightforward way, but it could have been more complex. Maybe at first there was no particular limit to unicellular life, and there were unicellular lifeforms both small or large. But the big ones had a terrible problem avoiding getting parasitized by microscopic ones. As, there is one wall to breach, and once it gets in, it's in for good. So maybe eventually one of the bigger ones developed multicellularity as a kind of internal defence wall system, rather than multicellular life evolving from tiny cells clumping together. This gave it an enormous advantage at larger sizes, as all pathogens had to invade the cells one by one, and most of the macroscopic unicellular organisms perished, and some unicellular eukaryotes evolved since then.
Lol, I know the pain (who doesn’t). Disliking and removing from history works for me, at least in the short term. I put history right on the sidebar with unhook extension, I believe. Sometimes I clear whole pages from there to avoid spam.

What to do with videos I don’t want to dislike, idk. It keeps recommending watch-once-already-watched videos indefinitely.
