Homeless People Often Aren't Reunited with Belongings Taken by Cities

I am glad that your circumstances are such that you can just stop working on a project when the tooling it uses turns out to be inadequate, wait five years, and then come back when it improves.

Unfortunately, many people can't really do that: when the ecosystem turns out to be somewhat inadequate in a project that's already been in use for couple of years, their options are either "just make it work one way or another, who cares if it's a hardcoded string, we have to ship the fix ASAP" or "rewrite it all in Rust/X, allegedly their ecosystem is production-ready".

I thought it would be obvious that my simple example was only illustrative. I'm not actually suggesting we discuss high school physics.

> No observation was even feasible for Einstein to formulate GR

Einstein made many observations about the real world to formulate his theories, e.g. Mercury's orbit, the relativity of motion, the inability to distinguish between different forms of acceleration.

> if all that matters to you is what you see, that's your choice

To be clear, in this discussion about what science can explain/understand, I'm advocating for the scientific method as the sole means through which objective truth can be verified, not the sense of sight.

When you mentioned a Creator being whose intent could be known and aligned with, my reply was a reference to a Laplace quote I thought you'd recognize. I apologize if it seemed personal. I only meant to say that we can and do query the universe to discover explanations for how it works without ever assuming the existence of gods or their supposed intentions.

.. and as soon as you stop just uploading files (which, as you say, nobody does), a lot of the other advantages go away also. Laravel and Symphony both make PHP much slower. If you are going to have sane routing, you're probably going to need to tweak your websever to behave, well, less like a web server. There's a decent chance you'll need to clear a cache after you upload your changed files if you want to actually see those changes.

I actually like PHP a lot, and it's amazing how far it has come in the past 10 or so years, I just think way too many people assume you get the 2004-era PHP simplicity with all of the 2024-era PHP refinements, and you really don't. There's tradeoffs.
Well there's two questions. One is whether it's possible for "inner" sex and "outer" sex to be in conflict. There's no reason to think this is impossible.

The other is whether a person suffering from this could tell something was wrong. They couldn't diagnose the problem in detail, but shouldn't they be able to tell, at some level, that something isn't right? Denying the latter just sounds like gaslighting to me.
I'm not the OP :)
I agree with you. I don’t think I’m naturally gifted at much (I’m just average), but I was taught stubborn hard work pretty early on. Unfortunately it took me until my 20s to figure out I could be athletic if I applied that hard work. I could also be good at programming doing the same. I’ve met people who are truly gifted and it’s amazing, but I’m pretty decent at the things I worked hard at.
From my understanding of it, "arts" doesn't even refer to artistic works, but more the work of artisans, those skilled in a manufacturing craft. By the same token, "sciences" doesn't just refer to the institution of Science, but of all human knowledge.

I've used ridewithGPS for multiple bike tours, the longest being a full month of unsupported riding. I also use it to scout out routes when I want to create a new ride somewhere in my area on roads I don't know already. ridwithGPS has a few features that really stand out, IMO:

* excellent, almost entirely bug-free routing on mobile

* heatmap data, because maps aren't entirely up-to-date

* multiple map styles, so you can pick what works best for your workflow and the country you're in

* easy GPX file export, I use it all the time with the bike computer (every day on tours)

* collection management, especially useful when I make per-day routes for a tour

* a healthy trial period so you can actually test it out and learn it

Basically it's just an excellent app (and site) that works reliably across every supported platform, that isn't full of spammy upselling garbage, that is clearly made by a competent team of developers who care deeply about the product they make.

Every tech product should be made like this. A lot of tech products used to be like this before enshittification really took off in the last 5-10 years.

I'm more than happy to support a great product like this, as a bicycle tourist and frequent router over unfrequented trails and dirt roads in the mountains around me. For road riders in cities, it's probably a whole lot less useful. But there are a lot of bicycle riding use cases outside of 'road riders in cities' :-)
That makes this even more funny. Next you'll be telling me it was his daughter's birthday.

Yeah, by comparison the total coverage of the ongoing devastating civil wars in Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar and Haiti is miniscule.

I guess to play devil's advocate, the US is much more involved in Palestine via its essentially unconditional military support for Israel, so it makes sense for the American left to make noise because in theory they could influence things.
Woah really? So wait, if someone is constantly mistreated in all their interactions with women, what kind of personality would develop?
It's for serious cyclists, for whom $10 a month is barely noticeable, considering how much you can spend on the bicycling hobby. For example, I do bicycle touring, weeks-long or months-long trips every year, and the RideWithGps route planner/navigation tools are extremely useful when riding thousands of miles by yourself in places you aren't familiar with.
I guess it depends how many different compilers you are targeting but generally speaking, compilers look for trivial implementations of popcount and can replace it with the single instruction.

However, as someone already mentioned, this is not equivalent to a pair of popcounts.
One of the issues with creating a language that is easy to use (PHP, BASIC, and many modern languages), is that people who aren't good at programming, will use it.

With predictable results.

The difference between languages like PHP and more modern languages, is that the more modern languages have more airbags, for the bad code. It's still bad code, but it won't do as much damage.

PHP is likely to be around for a long time: https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/programmin...
I feel the opposite: this brings simplicity and pragmatism back to PHP. Gone are the years of bowing to the verbosity of Java, sacrificing a dynamic powerful language at the altar of 1995's OOP paradigms.
It looks like ICC is not part of the fantastic rules based order.

Didn't PHP 5 stop getting security updates more six or seven years ago?

I guess depending on the app that might not really matter, but that seems like it could be an issue at some point.
That was my first thought as well, I have never been annoyed with the explicit parens when instantiating and using a class inline
Because US and European countries very directly supports Israel in this case. In the other cases you refer to they are conflicts independent of western countries or at least the western influences are more indirect.

Obviously. But HN is American-dominated, and the Copyright Clause in the Constitution and the original length of 14 years, are what most people are likely to think of when it is mentioned that copyright used to be a short monopoly to spur the arts and sciences. In modern scholarship, where progress is continual and scholars hail from countries that have differing degrees of access to paid resources, any monopoly for any length of time is harmful.
Sorry, I’m speaking from a European perspective (UK/London).

When driving I’ve had idiots on e-scooters dressed in black with no lights zooming towards me on a one way street at night, I’ve had people walk out in front of me when distracted by their phones. When cycling I’ve often seen other casual cyclists with headphones on, in their own dreamland, no helmet either, and I’ve seen the same when walking about. People are too careless and distracted thinking others are going to look out for them, everyone needs to pay more attention.

Them turning any criticism of Israels actions into antisemitism is making the word worthless, it's almost a badge of honor at this point. And ironically their genocide is creating real antisemitism.
>but does anyone realistically make websites or web apps that way?

You are correct in that a lot of PHP use now is larger frameworks with asset compilation and cache clearing etc, but even when developing on large systems like that it is nice to sometimes be able to just manually tweak a file and refresh.

For R&D and quick tests, just uploading a quick & dirty php file to the server is a very useful language feature to have IMO.

Strange.

I think this is saying that OpenAI provided two VMs, deleted one, restored from a half-recent backup, but then the restored data isn't usable in court. Why not? If it's about taint, then why could the data be usable in court before the imbroglio, if OpenAI had the practical ability to delete/change it?

Not quite on point: the reason there are so many pictures of cows is not 'ubiquity'. There are many phone boxes in Britain, not so many paintings of them.

The question is really, why are cows so relevant to paint? The answer is, the people who could afford to pay a painter were wealthy landowners, and their pride and joy was often purebred cattle. Each picture is some valuable animal, an advertisement if you will.
> Officer Bookman clearly saw the man as the aggressor

Just because he was a man or because he was a man and black at the same time? Black men must live in a constant fear of this happening to them. As a white person I also have this fear of police f__ing up but guess the likelihood of being shot by police innocently while being a black man is higher.
There's an entire ecosystem of companies doing support and proprietary security patches and even framework-bearing polyfills for php 5. So much of the web runs on php 5 that is never ever going to be updated. It's a mini-industry unto itself.

The licensing is on the order of thousands or low tens of thousands per year. Worth it for a 40-person business that has a 20-year-old legacy codebase supporting a few million dollars a year revenue. It's not what we think of as a standard "tech" company but it describes an absolutely ridiculous number of businesses.

My recollection is that the branch predictor should mispredict the last branch of the loop. Unrolling eliminates that misprediction by replacing all of the loop iteration branches with a jump table branch that it will predict correctly more often. This is micro-optimizing to an extreme. I vaguely recall seeing a slight improvement in a microbenchmark that I attributed to this effect.

I've had a MathAcademy subscription for some time and it's quite good. I'd say it's best at generating problems and using spaced repetition to reinforce learning, but I think it falls short in explaining why something is useful or applicable. I don't know, most math education seems to be "here's an equation and this is how you solve it" and MathAcademy is undoubtedly the best at that, but I wish there were resources that were more like "here's how we discovered this, what we used to do before, why it's useful, and here's some scenarios where you'd use it."
This is funny to me. I don't really trust Google's incentives in general, but unlike all of the social networks, Google benefits from a more open internet.

Yes, it’s an absurd example to make a point. We don’t normally consider performance in scope for what’s considered a breaking API change and there are good reasons for that, including being non-portable. Performance guarantees are what hard real-time systems do and they’re hardware-specific. (There is also the “gas fee” system that Ethereum has, to make a performance limit consistent across architectures.)

But there are still informal limits. If the performance impact is bad enough, (say, 5x slower, or changing a linear algorithm to quadratic), it’s probably going to be reverted anyway. We just don‘t have any practical way of formalizing rough performance guarantees at an API boundary.
> I don't think UBI is feasible, it is anathema to the human condition to be content with the bare minimum.

Hm? That is exactly why UBI works, no? As the name indicates, the bare minimum is taken care so that you can work towards "the best life possible for our loved ones" without worrying about starving, sickness or homelessness.

In contrast, if you were wrong and people would be content with the bare minimum, then UBI would be a bad idea. Though then they could just commit some felonies and be content with having a cell, bread and water for the rest of their lives, no?

It remains to be defined, but some of the technology is already there. We have driver monitoring systems. We know which device is paired to the infotainment system. That device could be physically sequestered from driver access while the vehicle is in gear (via NFC, for example).

I don’t want my car to be an arm of the nanny state. I don’t want insurance companies spying on my drives or owning my driver monitoring data. But, there could be a simple “place the connected device on this pad and strap it in while you drive” type system, that actually attempts to enforce the policy. Does it get hard once multiple people/devices get in the car? Sure. Could individual drivers just bring a second device along to defeat it? Yes. But for the average solo driver that doesn’t pre mediate their own misbehavior, it could reduce distraction without trampling on privacy or significantly added nuisance.
I like the analogy that biologists are making code changes (especially with genetic therapies) without actually understanding the machine code specification or even having a copy of the source code.

The challenge wasn't based on exactly that, they were trying to argue that a treaty palestine signed with israel precluded palestine from giving icc juridsiction that it didn't have itself.

That said, if it ever gets to trial, the defendants will almost certainly try to challenge it on that basis.

Realistically though i think the chance of that type of challenge succeding is unlikely. International courts generally are above domestic law. They probably have a better chance of convincing the court that palestine isn't a state and thus cannot sign the rome statue (which is also a long shot imo)

Cool, come and have a coffee with me :) I have older and younger siblings and was the one randomly blessed.

Whereas most recognised talents are associated with hard work and so there is then this visible link, I am a good example as I did the bare minimum throughout education (and beyond...).

The way my brain processes and selectively discards/stores the information it receives is very different to majority of the population. I have no control over it.

I take zero credit for any of my achievments - I regularly meet intelligent people near to retirement who have been to a tier 1 university, may have PHDs, worked 60 hours a week since they were born, been on course and what not and cannot reach the levels I can.

My nurturing was no different to siblings/peers (and was terrible!)

Note: I have my weaknesses too, but as a whole, I am exceptional. Not through effort!! Completely random - neither of my parents are intelligent and nothing up the ancestary tree as far as I know.
