> First because is legal, and second because is unavoidable.

That it is legal can obviously be changed, and it being "unavoidable" is a matter of culture.

You could view stealing as "unavoidable" (ultimately, someone much bigger/stronger/with a weapon/etc _could_ just take your stuff on the street, right?). It's primarily through culture and cultural instruments that we reduce its prevalence.

Whether we choose to prioritise a given issue or not is, of course, up for debate, but we should acknowledge that it is, in fact, a choice.

>>Microsoft did brain teasers like "How many ping pong balls fit on a bus?" questions. Then Google copied that to start. Google later realized that performance on these questions didn't predict performance on the job and developed a more data-driven approach that you see today (leetcode style) that other companies copy today.

I'm curious how did they realize that ping pong bus questions didn't predict performance.
Was that just based on negative candidate feedback or they pulled the spreadsheets to realize they are below the hiring quotas.

> And also, remember when a researcher says "loneliness" they mean "self-reported loneliness," I know a lot of people with very little companionship who might insist they are a 0 out of 10 on the loneliness scale.

That seems reasonable. Lonliness is a subjective phenomenon. There are people who don't interact as much as other people but feel content about it and aren't lonely. There are people who are desperate for interaction and get a lot but who are never satisfied. I can't imagine any other way to measure this than by asking.

Vertical integration, or a company claiming to take ownership of its supply chain, needs the democratic miracle that is exclusive security of supplies and their logistical distribution. No American company is ever going to militarily secure natural resources or a nanostate territory for its profits. And that's why all American companies (or any traditional, humanist company) will fail to achieve profits which ensure business survival.

Don't ever go long on an investment in the democratic military-industrial complex, surely. Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX are like baby boomers disguising themselves as healthy young kids of the future. Don't be fooled or tempted by the likely spiked Kool-Aid drink. Partaking in the ideology of techno-commercialist futurism will yield a negative return on investment. As the conceptual dynamics of optimal manufacturing methods' soteriology, looked at through democratic aspirations, is nothing but booby trapped thinking. In other words, much more blunt words, Tesla's theoretical economics and strategy is a wannabe Mark Zuckerberg, especially when there's an impending giant rug pull in the investment arena.
> Remember the early Ukraine invasion when a couple of bayraktars almost single handedly saved the country during the initial wave ? It was neither stealthy nor fast

The Bayraktars are the budget-drone option. A big part of their success was less that they're good, and more that the Russians kept all of their EW and AA turned off to achieve tactical surprise. Which they sort of did, but not enough to anchor the fight, and the budget drones were effective at killing a lot of AA early on, increasing their window of lethality.

Once they got their EW & AA game together the Bayraktars stopped being dangerous very quickly.

They don’t make the relevant laws but can be punished by higher authorities for breaking them.

Are you under the impression that the USA has a small government?
The Gripen is not a dual-capable aircraft, meaning it isn't certified to carry nuclear weapons. This makes it a tough sell to NATO nations who must align themselves to NATO's strategic goals [0], which call for nations to contribute dual-capable aircraft. Nor is the Gripen independent from US supply chains. It uses the General Electric F414-GE-39E engine.

If you're a NATO nation looking for a non-US jet that can satisfy your dual-capable needs, your only option is the Rafale.

One of the things people nowadays overlook is back in the 70s and 80s when people were first learning C and C ascended to being a dominant language we know today, the people learning C were coming from a background of assembler programming. The original promise of C was being able to be almost as fast of an execution as assembler. I still remember the day I was able to write an OS driver in C instead of assembly and it executed just fine on a 25 MHz 486. I don't think I ever wrote any more assembly after that.

A few years after that, C++ became the new hotness. The shop I was working at adopted C++ immediately - even though we weren't doing any object-oriented programming and had no intention of doing so anytime in the near future. It was simply a better C. I wrote very little pure C after that.

As far as learning C/C++ today? Only for systems programming, embedded systems, and maybe games. I wouldn't write an application in either language. The goal is, and has always been, to use the highest-level language you can that still has the performance you need.
The RayNeo Air 2 is the most barebones XR glasses I've seen. Barely adjustable and not enough IMO, but enough to work with if you use in large text and increase scaling.

Other brands like VITURE have more adjustments available, but the price will be double what I paid for the RayNeo Air 2 ($200). It looks like these are being heavily discounted in favor of the RayNeo Air 2s and future models.

I don't get dizzy at all while using them. :)
Boulevard media?

The article mentions a popular musical artist. Are there popular artists whose work you have an opinion on? Well then as soon as you express those thoughts, you are talking about a celebrity and this study says the way you talk about it may reveal something about you.
Agreed. I assume this will open up Bluesky to a lot of potential legal problems. But will it be any different from accesing the content using the app as the content is anyway hosted.

That said, just the other day I was thinking, is the reverse possible. I have a web site/blog. Use RSS and then the RSS updates are posted to a handle on Bluesky. I would assume that's a lot more useful?
Yes obviously. it doesn't take much in the way of literacy to understand the point being made by putting those statements next to eachother. The point is to invalidate whatever criticism is being made of the imperium

I don't think Hanlon's razor applies here. If there's no penalty to the people who establish a system for its foreseeable abuses, then their not foreseeing those abuses isn't inability, it's strategy.

You are making a general statement about the distribution of general consumers of computer languages, complete with a long tail, and the commenter is explaining that he is an expert car driver, way out there on the long tail. This tyranny of the less capable mode is really grating, especially on a site named "Hacker News".

As usual, the answer is quite simple: "please use rust". We promise to never mention when we break out nasm.

I've never felt that in author is wasting my time while reading a book until him. He desperately needs a different, or any, editor. He manages to cram a 400 page story into 700 pages. Just non-stop side tangents and long passage after long passage that goes no where and means nothing to the story. It's fine to have stuff like that to build a world but this he goes overboard. If a character needs to get groceries, he'll turn one sentence about needing to go get groceries into three pages of nothing about how grocery stores work. I find it extremely boring at times, and after you read one of his books and get clued into this, it's hard to read a second book and stay interested.
Lonliness is also correlated with depression which i think would be pretty bad for creativity. Maybe there is a fine line.

What you are asking for is standard command line flags for the compiler. Which probably cannot happen though it would be nice.

That and a better package manager so your clang wrong version problem cannot have. Which is what I was trying to get at.
> You cannot specify the “size” of an arbitrary Turing machine

Related to compression this is, as I said, irrelevant. Kolmogorov complexity, in the first order naive sense, picks a machine then talks about length. In the complete sense, due to Kolmorogov invariance which extends the naive version to any possible encoding, it shows that there is a fundamental minimal length over any machine Then one proves that the vast majority of strings are incompressible. Withtout this machine invariance there could be no notion of inherent Kolmorogov complexity of a string.

This has all been known since the 1960s.

So no, it matters not which UTM, FSM, TM, Java, Hand coded wizard machine, or whatever you choose. This line of reasoning has been investigated decades ago and thrown out since it does not work.

Your claim

>then there exist an infinite number of UTMs that will compress any specific string

combined with your claim

> For example, suppose we have ~17k programming languages to choose from—the language selection itself encodes about 14 bits (log2(17000)) of information.

Does not let you use that information to compress the string you wish to compress, unless you're extremely lucky that the string matches the particular information in the language choice matches, say, the string prefix so you know how to use the language encoded information to apply to the string. Otherwise you need to also encode the information of how the language choice maps to the prefix (or any other part), and that information is going to be as large or larger than what you want. Your program, to reconstruct the data you think language choice hides, will have to restore that data - how does your program choice exactly do this? Does it list all 17k languages and look up the proper information? Whoops, once again your program is too big.

So no, you cannot get a free ride with this choice.

By your argument, Kolmogorov complexity (the invariance version over any possible machine) allows compression of any string, which has been proven impossible for decades.

> Chrome had the advantage for a long term because their dev tools were just so much better than Firebug in both features and performance. Even today, I can't pinpoint it to specific things because it's (relatively) little and subtle differences, but Chrome's dev tools feel way more polished than Firefox's.

My point exactly! You're talking about which browser to use for web development. That's not relevant for engineers not touching html/js/css, and for all non tech savvy family members whose computers we set up.
I'm confused -- are they just closing the issues because they're outdated for various reasons, or are they yanking those features entirely where there's some attempt already made?

For example, the top one in that list is the "Command Palette" -- but it's already live and working fine! And I'm pretty sure "Precise code navigation" also already exists for TypeScript.

So are these features that are already GA going to be removed..?

Java vs. Kotlin: A Developer's Perspective
This is great article about the differences between Java and Kotlin from a serious honest perspective. Most of the times, these days, when we talk about Kotlin, we see to get pushed into discussions where people tend to defend Kotlin and suggest to abandon the usage of Java altogether, which at times feels like talking about an oxymoron, other than something else. In this article the discussion has no side of the story and is just an honest short look at what is important in Kotlin and in Java. Enjoy everyone and have a good one!

Can you demonstrate where/when this has happened? I've been on Bluesky since 2023 and yet to see any concrete examples of people getting banned for saying anything like that.

I've seen plenty of examples of users getting a ton of pushback from others when saying something like that, and ending up on block lists that others can (optionally) subscribe to, but never seen anyone permanently banned over it.

> the US government worked hard, over almost 40 years, to ensure a significant part of design and production costs (and risks resulting from such) would be absorbed by allies through guaranteed sales. NATO countries have been under huge continuous and sustained pressure to buy it and to standardize their systems around it. Quite a few European governments found themselves struggling to publicly justify their choices in this matter, because in the end it mostly boiled down to "the Americans told us to buy it or else".

So, it’s SAP but for national defence
I really don't like this growing implication of scientists with political struggles orthogonal to their expertise.

This article criticizes Musk for spreading misinformation that goes against scientific views, in particular on climate change.

DISCLAIMER: I've worked 2 years on climate insurance, as a data scientist tasked with measuring the risks of extreme weather events and how they change with global warming. I've worked on Hurricanes (general name is Tropical Cyclones), Frost, and River flooding.

What are the damning examples of Musks's misinformation cited in the article?

The worst I can find (except for having a jet, which all billionaires do) is under the title "Downplaying the climate emergency", where the article quotes a Guardian article. In there, the most damning thing Musk has said is:
"Musk has praised Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and GOP presidential hopeful, as “a very promising candidate” despite Ramaswamy calling the climate change agenda a hoax. Musk responded to Ramaswamy on X about the climate crisis saying: “It is possibly overstated in the short term, but we should be concerned about it long term.”"

Does that warrant a witch hunt? Is it even false?

Many media like the Guardian (cited many times in her article) like to announce short-term climatic Ragnarok, for instance increased risk of hurricanes[0].

And they cite short-term "limits" like reaching the threshold of 1.5°C additional average global temperature compared to pre-industrial era.

But these media mix up all climate risks in their Ragnarok, which makes their prophecies invalid. For instance on hurricanes: the risk of hurricanes could be REDUCED because of global warming [2] (frequency goes down, intensity goes slightly up).

In fact, as we're nearing the 1.5°C "limit" [1], most of the doom warnings seem to have been invalid, except for precise heat-related risks like droughts and wildfires.

At least until 2024, Musk has been less wrong than the Guardian cited so often by this article.
So should we remove this scientist from the Royal Society because she spreads misinformation? Oh well, it's already done.

My point is PLEASE ONLY TRY TO CANCEL PEOPLE UNDER GOOD REASONS, because the perception by Republicans/Right-wingers that Democrats/Ecologists are hysteric is what truly undermines the West's response to climate change.

I couldn't find any spare parts and honestly, I think that's because the brand is trying to liquidate the RayNeo Air 2 models in favor of RayNeo Air 2s and newer. It's admittedly the lower in quality than other offerings, but passable, and not bad for just $200.

What's the cooking time?
For the length of time this article covered you would need a power source and to not have your box discovered for months. Probably something out on the street isn't going to fulfill both of those requirements so you'd be trying to enter "Enterprise A" which is unlikely given the presumed elevated security profile this article implies (any guesses who?). With what they pulled off the "box" that ended up being used was something already plugged in next door and very much supposed to be there. Seems easier than any physical attack would have been.
But there are also people who believe they are fine alone but are negatively affected by it, and people who have lots of friends and interaction but nonetheless lack connection. People aren't very good at judging their own emotions.

People often say that modern c++ doesn't have the problems needing a solution like rust. Ironically that means people who write modern c++ haven't had any aramp up time needed when joining our rust projects. They were already doing things the right way. At least mostly.
