But also, Phoenicians did not develop the alphabet. The basic notion of encoding sounds with glyphs is a Egyptian invention, and the earliest evidence for true abjads (from which Phoenician script and other Semitic writing systems all derive) is also from that same area.

Note that war and conquest of neighbors means managing (in particular, taxing) a large foreign-speaking population, whereby abjads and alphabets also come in handy. Not to mention the monuments - if you are a king erecting, say, a monumental stele to boast about having vanquished a mighty foreign ruler, it might behoove you to spell his name in a way that is sufficiently recognizable for people to appreciate the achievement.
There were two recognized miracles.

"Luciana Vianna had taken her son, Mattheus, who was born with a pancreatic defect that made eating difficult, to a prayer service. Beforehand, she had prayed a novena asking for the teenager Acutis's intercession. During the service, Mattheus had asked that he should not "throw up as much". Immediately following the service, he told his mother that he felt healed and asked for solid food when he came home. Until then, he had been on an all-liquid diet."

"The miracle attributed to his intercession occurred in 2022 when a Costa Rican woman named Valeria had fallen off her bike and suffered a brain haemorrhage with doctors giving her a low chance of survival. Valeria's mother, Lilliana, prayed for the intercession of Acutis and visited his tomb. The same day, Valeria began to breathe independently again and was able to walk the next day with all evidence of the haemorrhage having disappeared"

The opening sentence isn't "complex" or "fancy" writing. It's LLM writing.

The paper has: "Sound, an omnipresent sensory stimulator, holds significant relevance in the human experience, as it continually engages our auditory and mental faculties."
This is just a sentence stuffed with adjectives. It conveys nothing beyond the definition of sound in a bunch of adjectives.

Complex (and admittedly annoying) writing would be something like: "Ever-cognizable and in continual interplay with our auditory faculties, sound is one of the most significant objects of human sense perception." This is annoying writing for sure, but it's well-constructed, unlike the LLM opener for the paper. It culminates with the fact that sound is important because it is ubiquitous to our perception.

"Fancy" writing would be a little more poetic, something like: "As stimulating as it is pervasive, as significant to the human experience as it is mundane, sound relentlessly occupies our sensory and mental perception: whether significant or inconsequential, substantial or infinitesimal, sound is all at once the vehicle of our heritage, the body of our cognitive terroir, and the symbol of our highest arts."
This sentence is also annoying, but only because it's kind of pretentious. But there is a point here: sound is powerful to human beings.

I think the problem with our times is that people cannot tell the difference between complex writing, poetic writing, and just plain adjective-stuffed LLM writing. Which all comes down to the fact that we as a culture have devalued complex writing. Complex writing isn't read in schools, nor taught at any level of schooling. It's actually disencouraged in every Freshman writing class.
No, I worded that weird.

They said they were remote 4 out of 5 days. But the specific department is only remote 2 of the 5 days for that position.
The issue of memory safety goes well beyond adversaries "hacking your code". Without memory safety, your code doesn't even have any kind of well-defined semantics so it's not feasible to defend against even "logic" bugs by automated means.

If you care about program correctness in any real sense, memory safety is table stakes.
> it's at least better than arresting homeless people for being homeless

In Massachusetts, (which still can have some nasty winters,) some homeless will turn to stupid petty crime to get arrested for the winter. IE, they'll look for a cop, pretend not to notice, and then commit the least harmful crime they can.
OPEC has nothing to do with economic integration, it is just a group of countries setting oil prices. G7 countries deceive themselves if they think BRICS is just another OPEC. You should think of BRICS as a multilateral Belt and Road initiative.
In practice it doesn't really matter. Most good converters have pretty sharp cutoffs on their anti-aliasing filters, so any aliasing is severely reduced when mixed back in to the converter. Sure an aperiodic signal needs infinite bandwidth to 'accurately' represent it, but you're quickly below the noise floor.

I fixed the "hide" link for posts on Reddit and now all I see is fresh content
I'm someone who likes to hide posts on Reddit after I see them. That way, I never have to worry about seeing the same stuff over and over when I load reddit later. With this technique, the ONLY thing I see are fresh posts.

One problem: The "hide" link on posts is tiny, and appears in a different location under each post (depending on how many comments that post has, etc).

After suffering with this annoyance for over 10 years, I finally fixed the issue by deploying a custom CSS snippet inside of Reddit Enhancement Suite.

And here is the CSS code snippet, in case anyone wants to use it for their own RES config:

/* Only apply custom hide button styling on listing pages */
.listing-page .entry {
position: relative;
padding-right: 100px;
}

.listing-page .top-matter {
margin-right: 10px;
}

.listing-page .hide-button {
position: absolute;
transform: translateY(-50%);
width: 100px;
height: 94%;
right: 4px;
top: 48%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}

.listing-page .hide-button a {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: #1a1a1b;
color: #909090;
border-radius: 3px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: 500;
border: 1px solid #343536;
transition: all 0.2s ease;
}

.listing-page .hide-button a:hover {
background: #272729;
color: #d7dadc;
border-color: #d7dadc;
}

Where to put the CSS snippet:

RES settings console → Appearance → Stylesheet Loader (stylesheet) → Load Stylesheets (loadStylesheets)

Side note: I highly recommend combining this with the "Fix Hide Links" and "Hide Link Instant" feature toggles in Reddit Enhancement Suite. Clicking the "hide" link to a post should just instantly hide the post.

There are a lot of them here in NZ. Definitely no reputation for being 'crap'. By all accounts they are quality vehicles. The local car share business has a large fleet.

I'm pretty confident that once the Seagull lands we will see a lot more. I expect it to be the modern equivalent of the late 90s - early 00s Hyundai Excel. That was an entry level car that blew everything else out of the water in Australia due to low prices coupled with a crazy long and generous warranty. It really set Hyundai up in a market as a legitimate mainstream brand.

What I find especially interesting is that at the same time the North American brands have hitched their wagon to the 'bloated vehicle' trend here. They seem to be relying almost entirely on SUVs, and 'trucks'. Recently they are pushing models like the F150 and Ram on the back of their success with big utes like the Ford Ranger. Personally I think this is just going to make them vulnerable to the incoming wave of more sensible Chinese options.

Edit:

It just occurred to me that the idea of car share business using popular North American vehicles seems kind of absurd. Who would want a fleet of oversized SUVs and trucks? I think this says something about the true utility of these vehicles.

> The parent stated that some issues only occur under production load and a unit test will not catch it.

I can't think of a single production problem that can't be replicated with a unit test. If you're seeing a problem in production, you need to fix it. How do you fix it? You write a test that replicates the problem and then fix the code, which fixes the test.
Goes further than that too, suppose the one working on the wooden part is slow and the one on the metal part is faster. And surely the value of one part or another is also different, even though its the combined value that's relevant.

Suppose as well there are a thousand people lined up to make the wooden part but hardly any for the metal, then surely the ones who work on the metal part will (try to) command a higher wage too.
Modern weapons have pretty little fallout compared to the stuff they were testing in the open air in Nevada and Kazakhstan in the 50s so I'd say we are already mostly there.

Games absolutely are a problem for lack of memory safety - because the majority of games played today are connected to the internet explicitly. For trading system I don't even know what you mean, but I can't think of a trading system where you wouldn't care about security.

For simulations and scientific calculations, I do agree, to a vast extent. But in a world that is moving more and more towards zero-trust networking, even many of those will start being looked at as potential attack vectors into other systems.

You would not get enough yield to feed people without fertilizer.
Of course it can be produced from a source different from manure. Nitrogen-based fertilizer is produced from cheap natural gas... oh wait... that is gone,too.
It is not a chore, it is our job. This is what we do. We write code. Of course you've missed stuff, we all have. Tests help alleviate the missed stuff. Even better is that they protect us over time, especially when we want to refactor things or find bugs in production. How do you fix a production bug without breaking something else? You write tests so that you know your code works.

Again with the HN downvotes, hilarious. People really hate the truth.

Inadequate capital is a reason a lot of businesses are not viable. Thus a reason to forgo the idea.

But to be more direct, it takes as much effort to run an umdetcapitalized smaller business as iIt does to run an undercapitalized larger one and in both cases you are hoping for luck.

Not only is hope not a plan, the upside of good fortune with a smaller business is smaller than the upside of good fortunes with a larger one.

Finally, adequate capitalization is the high level bit of designing a business. Ideas are so abundant as to be worthless and cash is king.
> If you cannot automatically annotate the code there is no point in trying as you can't do it manually.

How can you know this without a "viral" analysis that tells you how much annotation is needed, and where? Perhaps the code factors out all the low-level, "memory unsafe" hacks to its own module, and that can be feasibly annotated. It's just not something we can know in advance.

You're using Visual Studio, not VSCode, right? It looked like Microsoft had at one point experimented with a hosted dev space for it under the name "Visual Studio Online": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21442088 or https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/announcing-visua..., but somehow it became merged/confused with Github Codespaces, which only supports VScode and not the regular Visual Studio. Their messaging is really confusing and all the old links just redirect to the unrelated Codespaces now :( Maybe you can reach out to @lostintangent to ask what happened?

I think the closest thing now is an Azure Microsoft Dev Box: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/dev-box. It should be simpler to manage & roll out than raw VMs (i.e., it's a hosted dev space preconfigured by IT, not a whole VM that each dev has to individually manage). Their product page is really vague, but here's a video that shows it working: https://youtu.be/kyeuSpR74W4?si=qK5IavNIPNIxi-Bp&t=310

IMHO doing something like that would make the developer experience less painful than every developer having to manage their own Parallels, Windows install, filesystem, networking, credentials, etc. all before they even touch the actual code. If you set up the hosted dev boxes beforehand, each dev should just be able to click a button and jump right into coding, from whatever their existing laptop is, without needing to alter their local stack.

Otherwise, if the Windows stack is something they only occasionally touch (vs their regular work in the Mac/Linux worlds), I think it's very likely that each individual dev's local VMs will quickly get out of sync with each other's and with whatever the "master" source of truth is. Sure, you can containerize it and share the containers instead, but at that point you're basically recreating Microsoft Dev Boxes... and without any real x86 hardware, to boot =/

I guess if you really want to do this self-hosted and stream it locally, you can get an high-powered Windows machine (probably a cheap server or a high-end gaming/workstation desktop with lots of RAM and CPUs will suffice), install Windows server stuff on it and use it to host RDS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remo...

One way or another, I guess the choice is between "buy licenses and have each individual dev configure their own work env" or "buy a server or a cloud subscription and let them manage the envs and stream to the devs".

Why would that be the case? The Central Limit Theorem does not apply here, because the observations (questions) are correlated with each other.

If it turns up one case winner it doesn’t matter much if it misses others. The Korean intern could have also missed 10 other damning emails.
Good point, a reasonable response to the who debacle would be to get the legislature to mandate that a HTTP headset similar to do-not-track must be configurable on a browser basis and all requests that hold it must be seamlessly executed as if the user had pressed the “do not agree” button previously.
There are many reasonably convenient options depending on geography and economy. Palm leaves, birch bark, wax tablets... sure, they are not as convenient as paper, but good enough to write e.g. personal letters, diaries, and even doodles.
For a mature product, I think it makes sense to set an expectation of stability - what you see is what you get and if it’s not good enough as-is, don’t use it.

I don’t think closing off all internal discussion of future improvements necessarily the way to go, though? Sharing things like draft standards and programming languages enhancement proposals seems to work out pretty well.

Issue trackers, not so much. I think part of the problem is that the reply box is right there, inviting drive-by opinions, and makes it hard to keep things in perspective.
Saw one of these on Japanology Plus earlier this year (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/2032309/ --> jump to the 19 minute mark). Thought it was interesting, but I'll stick to my regular showers.
It is not exhaustive because you haven't taken the effort to do it. It isn't easy, you have to write you code in a way that can be tested. It takes planning and effort to do this, but it pays off with having applications that aren't full of bugs.

Well. The legal complaint was that transcripts don't exist. The issue was that it was prohibitively expensive to resolve the complaint. Now that transcription is 0.1% of the cost it was 8 years ago, maybe the complaint could have been resolved.

I wrote an article for an early Java dev website thinking I might do that more professionally. I don’t know what crawled up the editor’s butt, but he kept suggesting edits that took sentences I sweated over to be precise and basically edited them to say either nothing at all or the opposite of what I meant. My last round of edits I sent to him came with my own comments about why things needed to stay worded a certain way, because I thought he was trying to make me sound like an idiot - not plain-speaking but plain wrong.

It was exhausting and stupid and I stuck to blogging after that. Who knows, I might have written books. But not dealing with shit like that. I can torture myself much more efficiently, TYVM.

Also useful I think for checking human-entered transcriptions, which even on expensively produced shows, can often be garbage or just wrong. One human + two separate LLMs, and something to tie-break, and we could possibly finally get decent subtitles for stuff.

They really don't need to be, but jerks sometimes do modify them to be loud even when idling. About five years ago I lived in a neighborhood where some jackass would idle his modified truck every morning at a quarter till 5am. He'd leave around 5am and you could hear the truck for at least a minute as he left the neighborhood and started accelerating hard on the highway. His house was across the street and four doors down and his truck still could be heard through my bedroom window which faced the backyard. I don't know how his next door neighbors tolerated it. This was an exurban area with lots of pickups and even a few commercial vehicles in the neighborhood but he was the only one whose vehicle was loud and it obviously was made that way intentionally.
