That’s awesome, it’s such a small world.
I never thought twitter was a failure until Musk introduced $8 “pump you to the top” blue check accounts, then that’s when the bots -really- moved in because they knew they could pump propaganda for a small fee and get far more traction than they every could by setting up bot armies that were easy to detct. Bsky will be fine as long as they try to control the bots.
The great thing about bluesky is that there are no “algorithms” by default. You see posts from people you follow in the order they were posted. There’s no feed pushing toxic posts in your face, and since there’s no monetary incentive for engagement, you don’t see the egregious bait that’s ubiquitous on Twitter.

As for it being an echo chamber, that’s a function of who chooses to join. Again, there are no algorithms, so no viewpoints are favored by the site (unlike on some other sites, ahem). And the protocol ensures you can’t really be banned.
Carbon dating was developed ~30 years after the panting was recovered.

Shipping is ... milestone hit on program management.
The main news is that Gimp made a release candidate for 3.0:

https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/11/06/gimp-3-0-RC1-released/

I see that a few people have submitted that link, but they don't seem to be getting much attention:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

So this article is boosting some visibility to the original news, while having little content otherwise.
The link you referenced just says that the Debian packages are irrelevant to the current codebase, as used on the Steam Deck. It doesn't say anything about the Steam Deck being the only hardware that will ever run it.

Some of the recent SteamOS release notes have included references to Asus's handheld, which has reinforced the community expectation that it will eventually be available as a distribution you can install on 3rd party hardware. If you go read interviews from Valve employees (Lawrence Yang comes to mind), I believe they've publicly stated that after the OLED shipped, they wanted to start focusing on porting to other devices.

Thanks! These actually look trust-worthy. See, wasn't that hard.
Reminds me of EVE, which similarly had a libertarian dystopia design but evolved into something a bit more civilised through the efforts of players. One of the most well-known and successful diplomats was an actual US state department guy (who was sadly killed on his day job doing diplomacy in warzones).
I’d recommend CodePeer (formerly GitContext) which is one of the best human code review tools and recently expanded to offer AI review as well.

Don’t conflate plasticizers (such as BPA) with pfas. While keeping plasticizers and microplastics out of your diet is beneficial, pfas are a different beast. They accumulate over time and cause a whole host of problems such as organ failure.

Pfas are used in waterproofing, grease proofing, and fire suppression.
Paper straws, the coating of paper cups, the paper around cupcakes, takeout containers, waterproof clothing, lubricants, sealers.

But yeah I hear you. I’ve been trying to stick to glass and it makes me feel like a weirdo-hippy avoiding so many common packaging materials.
Perhaps another framing of the same idea is that you can’t work on other (bigger and better) things if you can’t hand your work off to someone else.
It is true that Elon pushed right-wing accounts algorithmically (and is one of the reasons for the exodus to Bluesky), but "no politics ever" as a neutral content moderation stance to counter that factor makes it impossible for a social network to show what's happening now in the world and will make people go elsewhere for the information gap.

I installed some guy's userscript to remove the For You tab all together and dump me straight into Following. It's way better, but it's still out of order, so you can't see what's new, only a random selection of what's popular from the last few days, which is irritating. My workaround is to create a list named Timeline, and add all my follows to it and pin it up top, and poof, sequential timeline again, with none of the crap. Then just some css to hide inline ads and constant upgrade nags, and it's like 2014 again.
I look at, say, the war in Ukraine, where they have a fresh supply of planes from allies, but their roster of pilots is diminishing. In this situation the pilot is far more valuable than the plane. And probably always the case during war when aircraft production is at a maximum.
I admire your courage to say something positive about java.

On another note, I believe Zig does the same thing.

> git really forces me to make a lot of decisions I don’t actually care about. How will I save my WIP while I’m off on this quest? Do I want to juggle stashes and my working tree, or throw commits around? How will I get a commit where I want it? Do I need to come up with a branch name? And how much of all this needs to just sit in my head or pasteboard, lest I forget what I was in the middle of?

I am hearing this argument a lot, but I don't really get it. My grocery store forces me to make a lot of decision when it offers me 7 kinds of ketchup and 20+ kinds of cereal, but no one says "I am avoiding large grocery stores because they force me to make too many decisions". If you are feeling adventurous, try something new. If you just want to get some food and go, grab your favorite brands. And yes, a smaller store won't force you to choose, but there is good chance you won't like the food you buy there.

(For the problem described, I'd do as following: Save WIP work as temporary commit. No, you don't want to juggle stashes. You can do interactive rebase with "edit" mode and then cherry-pick extra commit - this'll let you make sure test passes after rebase too. Yes, you need to come up with branch name, any will go, like c_s_test. You will need to keep the name of previous branch in your head, but given author uses "develop" it should not be too bad. But this is all my preferences, if someone wants to do something else - more power to them.)
Correct. Folks here don’t even begin to talk about Dave and busters or Chuck E. Cheese with their own terrible betting systems designed for kids were the company script (tickets) buys sugar poison at prices that would make your local robber baron jealous of you!

But no one cares that we begin the stupid-person-to-gambler pipeline right at those moments. No one calls to ban Chuck E. Cheese. In fact, it’s the opposite. We embraced those companies with horror games like five night at Freddie’s - horror games whose characters were rapidly used for internet degeneracy similarly to the overwatch characters.
As noted in a sibling comment, Valve has released an open-source compositor (`gamescope`), which is what presents Steam as a console-esque UI on the Steam Deck. Using gamescope to present Steam, you can make an arbitrary Linux feel indistinguishable from a Deck.

There are many gaming distributions (e.g. Bazzite, Jovian/NixOS, Nobara, Chimera…) that take this approach.

They're usually just standard desktop distributions (Fedora or NixOS) with gaming packages configured. There is a Russian teenager who's trying to cobble together a SteamOS clone using as many Valve packages as possible. His project is called HoloISO.

49 years of age strikes me as pretty old to be piloting an F-35B. Even civilian commercial pilots have to retire at 65.
Why, because the only 3.0 features it mentions are SVG icons in the toolbar and the plugin API? No, you're not the only one.
Do we have important things to do with our free time instead, though? What alternative activity would have made you feel more comfortable? I guess maybe creating great art or curing cancer, but those things sound difficult.
We are exposed to pfas largely through waterproofing and grease proofing. Things like the grease proof paper they wrap around a sandwich.

> Why does gnu parallel use all the cores when we tell it to use only 8? We only saw eight git clone processes at a time, but a large number of git index-pack processes that maxed out all 32 cores on my laptop. I’m guessing git’s index-pack is a forked subprocess and allows parallel to start another git clone?

Parallel is running 8 git clone jobs at once (as asked for) and each git clone is starting as many index-pack threads as it wants. Temporarily setting pack.threads to 1 (via git config) would help here.

> Then why didn't Java do better?

Bad UI frameworks that failed to be usable and/or compatible across systems. Cross compiling is more than producing foreign executables.
Honestly it’s the same issue with new media. Not much has improved. Moralizing and bullshit rhetoric is well and alive across the internet.
Inactive Fuel Rat here.

What they are saying is dead on. We will do what we can to rescue you, and the skill of some of the Rat's pilots is second to none. (I won't claim that of myself. But one of The Rats usually holds the Bubble -> Colonia speed record.)

The number of stories you end up with ratting is amazing... it is a wonderful thing to do. Especially when you have it all in Elite. Why not help others. Rescue can pretty challenging. And losing a rescue... really sucks :( (Code Reds - They are out of fuel, and on O2.)

Nice work!

It got me thinking how useful something like an "I don't have instagram" app would be. Unfortunately I suspect it would be impossible to implement.
> The fact that I experience anything at all (as opposed to being an unthinking being as we assume robots or machines to be) seems like something to me.

The roomba robot doesn't experience, it just goes through its routine. You're more sophisticated (a robot made out of meat), so the behaviors and internal state are more sophisticated. Your "experience" is just one of many illusions you are prone too. You can go look up some of them that it's possible for you to be aware of, they're pretty crazy.

The statement I quoted is just another wording of "of course I have consciousness!".
>>Feels like they just need someone to blame for losing the plane.

Its always hard to be a the last man in the hierarchy of a big budget project run by idiots.

They always need somebody to fire to 'cya'.
I guess it depends on what’s considered trustworthy. I wouldn’t trust a Russian paper as far as you could throw it unless it was in math or physics.
> they were not realistic targets for CASE

that's a very interesting tidbit.

It looks to me that the management structure and incentive at this department is too conservative, because failure is seen as bad and is probably punished (somehow - might not be overt).

Therefore, leadership is incentivized to target realistic use cases, which means simple use cases. This basically "guarantees" success as described by the objective.

This is the same as revenue forecasts being overly conservative, and the market sees through the lies.
Bruce Lee has that quote: “ I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

If Lisp’s “one kick” is the cons list, then jj’s is the commit: by using them for everything (they replace, at least, the git stash, index, and working copy) you actually get really fluent in manipulating them and they become more powerful than special-cased tools.

Show HN: I created text expander/text blaze but for iOS app
Hello HN,

I use the text expander for my work all the time but It always bothered me that they don't have mobile apps. I wanted to copy and paste notes/templates from the keyboard.

So, I created a side project, CopyNote.

I would appreciate any feedback on it.

I hope you'll enjoy using the iOS app.

Cheers!

But apparently these women are…educated? I don’t know how it all works if the end result of education (or being “liberal”) is being bigoted and clueless and lacking complete empathy towards the opposite sex.

Sounds like bog standard indoctrination and party line to me.
A pilot is expected to follow procedure when that's called for but ultimately has full responsibility and can make any call they want. Procedure is never going to cover the range of scenarios you can run against and there's no time to reach out to the chain of command when something goes wrong.

Ejecting could save you but send the plane crashing into a city, and that's just one of many scenarios.

If he was flying with instruments in bad weather and felt that he could not trust those instruments that seems like a good reason to eject since you can easily end up in the ground or a mountain. I don't know if switching modes like he did was standard procedure and if the resulting failure was unusual or not. Maybe he wasn't familiar enough with the airplane's systems. That said, there was a real failure that seems to have happened at the worst possible times.

At the end of the day, the bar is set really high for someone in this position.
But so does a software password manager supporting passkeys – at a much lower price.
Point! Fixed. You can tell how often I'm on YT, chemistry and forging videos aside.
This project needs scrapped. They tried to make it everything for everyone. Not practical. No danger of retiring the stalwarts anytime soon.
When articles like this are posted, I'm always surprised to learn the majority of HN commenters are pilots.

As someone who was on Reddit when we got the influx of Digg users, it's wild that "Digg moment" is now an anachronistic culture reference like "Betamax" or "jumping the shark" was for me when I was younger.

I'm sure there's a huge cohort of people active here have never heard of Digg except that it was a thing that fumbled and made Reddit bigger.
what about online music shops like bleep.com and 7digital?

My father could do a perfect riffle shuffle repeatedly, and do the classic fan fold and so forth --- perfected this technique playing cards on troop ships going from one duty station to another.

John Scarne wrote extensively on this in his various books --- _Scarne on Cards_ is well-worth reading, and in particular, speaks of the need for practice and repetition to develop the dexterity and feel necessary for card manipulation/tricks.
It doesn't but sometimes things like this get posted, hoping it generates a conversation that OP can then direct towards a personal point.

It would be cool if you guys produced a graph for truck factor vs number of github stars.

Upvote for usual MSM banter. In truth, JRE is good entertainment. It’s not a learning platform because there isn’t an active engagement component. He’s good at navigating you through a complicated issue by using storyline like pacing with the people he is interviewing being characters in his story. But it’s hardly ever anything one can hold onto once that episode is done. He’s pleasant to listen to and the bit of drama keeps it fresh and spontaneous.
So the current dynamic is - platforms use noise makers to draw in crowds, then signal producers like the weather guy go where the crowds are.

Does Bluesky change this dynamic?
Go is one of those languages you get shit done. Its fast, it compiles fast and is type safe enough. It has a rich stdlib and comes with pretty much all you need (formatter, lsp, testing).

Overall Go is really good, but not perfect. A few minor things are missing (like adts/pattern matching). But i want to belive that go will one day have them!

HBD Go!
That’s true if it’s the same organization doing both things. In the case of aircraft accidents, we deliberately separate out the investigators from everyone else precisely to avoid that problem. The investigators make recommendations for actions that should be taken to prevent future incidents of the same type. Firing the pilot doesn’t accomplish that, so the investigators didn’t recommend it. That doesn’t mean that firing the pilot is inappropriate though, only that doing that wouldn’t prevent future accidents of this type.

The procedures are never finished. They’ll be updated as needed for as long as anyone flies the airplane. The final revision could be a century or more from now, long after the airplane is out of active service. The updates it receives in that time depend on what accidents happen during that time, as well as how the systems change during that time.
Hahaha I heard his voice when I read that a second time.

To make it overcomplicated for git just to fake a point doesn't do it for me.

I am yet to see a real value to use JJ. Those kind of built-up posts I am seeing about JJ on HN tend to push me in the opposite direction.

1) do your test in your current branch, it's related to what you are doing.
2) commit, co master, co -b newtestbranch, PR it, merge in your branch after. You're going to squash rebase at the end anyway...
I must be missing something here, I haven't found anything about this relationship that is illegal. It's cozy, perhaps not the best way to go about things, but there's nothing in here of what they are doing that is in any way illegal. It doesn't even break regulations. I get that maybe the reporter is trying to draw a parallel between private corporations working with police departments, but I'm not seeing a problem.

I don't know where you got the idea that MS doesn't have copies of their own source code. They aren't just blindly shipping binaries from decades ago with unknown provenance. They keep meticulous archives, and even employ full-time digital archivists. Some of their source has leaked in fact*, spanning all the way from the 1980s to the 2020s, so you can see for yourself if you really want to. If you can download a torrent, you can bet MS has a copy too. And if you search on YT, you'll find people who have built working copies of the OS with these leaks. It's all there.

The Soul of an Old Machine: Revisiting the Timeless von Neumann Architecture
The idea of “shipping” as being an emergent state of mind is a great one. A project grows the same way an embryo grows into a full animal: it does so in millions of tiny parts that overlap in discrete ways to produce a continuous spectrum of development. I think some good additional milestones to measure that kind of development might be as follows:

* Your first bug report that you file against yourself which you fix yourself. Your project is stable enough to be usable with a known bug, but you go back and fix that bug when you have time to dedicate to it. Contrast with nothing working until everything works.

* Your first time seeing someone find a flaw that lies so far out of your own mental model of the project that it causes a very jarring feeling, hopefully followed by excitement that the project is now taking on a life of its own outside you / your team as the sole developers and users. An example of this might be someone filing a bug that image rendering is missing from a git visualisation tool where you’d never even considered using it for projects with version controlled image assets.

I feel like there’s an analogy here to a baby’s first detectable heartbeat and a child’s first original that-never-occurred-to-me thought. There must be a lot more in between too, with the social acceptance of a project becoming shipped as the child entering the adult world as its own person.
Pretty much the same as it was 20-30 years ago: can perform any task that an average human can do.
