So here's the kicker.

Microsoft, having the resources it does, was able to design and implement a stable driver ABI. In fact, they also have a stable userspace ABI. Both have evolved, but that's not the point.

Linux conversely (whether by design or by limitation) does not have stable ABIs (although userspace compatibility isn't terrible). Even though you can build kernel drivers as modules (and then load/unload), those modules are unique to each specific kernel build.

Remember those guys didn't write the compiler & linker toolchains they were using like Microsoft was able to do.

I will be honest, I understand why Linus & Co. have decided to keep it this way, because it encourages hardware manufacturers to submit either their drivers or their specifications to the upstream kernel, which promotes software freedom. It is a noble goal and has served them well.

BUT - thieir decision has caused me no small amount of consternation over the years as a system administrator. Once you use Linux for something that is not "server software" (be it auth, file sharing, web, etc.), you are generally using it to drive some piece of hardware (CNCs, industrial tools, cough phone systems cough). Vendors, especially those that deal in low-volume / high-margin products, do not want to release their source code. They're allergic to the idea even. So I have gotten stuck in outdated kernel hell on several occasions because the kernel devs have decided to change internal interfaces in a point-point release that my driver software relied upon.

I so wish that Linux would move to a stable driver ABI. It would make administration & upgrades so much easier, especially on the embedded side.

But I also know that it'll never happen.

FWIW, the "no stable kernel ABI" is unique to Linux, although no one really does this like Microsoft (i.e. the BSDs can break between releases, but I do believe NetBSD is superior to FreeBSD in this respect).
Purdue, then, although a "corporate death penalty" executed in response to non-government-induced insolvency still seems relevant to me. The biggest proximate effect of shutting down a company is that all its employees become unemployed, so it's not something you'd generally want to do when there are other options on the table.

Ask HN: How do you feel about David Sacks appointment as AI and Crypto Czar?
Just saw the David Sacks was appointed as AI and Crypto Czar in the Trump administration. Paul Graham had tweeted (since deleted) that Sacks was the most evil person in Silicon Valley that he knows. What do you think this means for crypto and AI companies? Pros and cons?

It sounds like reduplication is about individual words being repeated rather than a phrase.

> In linguistics, reduplication is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word, part of that or the whole word is repeated exactly or with a slight change.

The ablaut section also seems to suggest that "eat" should come before "have" anyway.

> In ablaut reduplications, the first vowel is almost always a high vowel or front vowel (typically ɪ as in hit) and the reduplicated vowel is a low vowel or back vowel (typically æ as in cat or ɒ as in top).

I suspect you feel that it flows more smoothly because it's more familiar. You have to stop a brain process that's become a bit automatic to say that phrase and instead say it slightly differently.

If you have an old phone that would otherwise go to garbage, likely its battery is not in a great shape anyway, and server-like loads are mostly incompatible with being battery-powered. I suppose it's going to be permanently attached to a USB power source.

Thanks for the heads-up about the thermal inertia of the battery! Maybe a stationary phone in the server role could use a glue-on passive radiator.

I'm curious to know if there is a good way to do this on a phone with a broken screen. I have accumulated a few phones with 3+ gig of RAM, a decent number of moderately good ARM cores, but with broken screens.

Essentially this means all control with the device has to be on the few buttons, and the USB, and all feedback must be through USB (or maybe audio)

How transplantable are screens between phones? Assuming no geometric fit is required, are the connectors/interfaces standardised inside enough to bodge a temporary screen long enough to set-up a remote interface.
Unlikely. The leading candidate is already being investigated by the police.

Chances are he’ll be jailed or otherwise prevented from running.
HN is unusual because it is that way. There's nothing wrong with that.

But let's put it this way. If I find a popular article on a ScienceX site I often find it links to a journal article which may or may not be open access, let's assume that it is.

Posting to HN I will usually post the open access article.

Posting to Mastodon or Bluesky I will usually post the ScienceX link because those platforms can find an image in those articles but can't find an image in a paper in Nature. (Note on those platforms I get replies like "this is over my head" when I post a real paper whereas nobody in HN wants to admit that vulnerability)

If somebody makes an HN clone which merges in images, those images are going to have a big impact on people's engagement with that clone.
No he didn't. The most he said is that he would "SAVE TIKTOK" (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1130812582422...), which can mean anything you want. If you think the ban should be repealed, then that's what he meant. If you think the ban should be upheld and TikTok should be taken over by an American company, then that's what he meant. As usual, he has also made every other possible contradictory statement on this issue.

"When I wanted to disable TIKTOK 3 years ago [...] I was right": https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1099896988452...

These are not fair analogies to wealth inequality unless you think all people who have more than you got it by cheating people. A better analogy would be the movie Moneyball, about baseball's inequality.

Effectively the problem is that wealth is an inherent feedback loop that naturally creates Pareto distributions instead of normal distributions. People don't have to be 'unfair' for this phenomenon to occur.

Far from some bold decision in defense of democracy, this is almost a coup by our constitutional court.

First, there is no process or even mention in any Romanian law about annuling an election. The Constitutional Court of Romania has two specified roles in an election: it validates candidates (or rejects them, as it did with another far right candidate in this very election), and it validates the election results (or invalidates them if there is a significant suspicion of fraud in the vote counts, after a recount). They issued a recount order for this same election as well, and then decided based on the results that the first round was valid. If they had decided it wasn't valid, there are laws for when it would have been repeated. However, they later came back to this decision, and quoting a vague article in the Constitution that says that they assure the electoral procedures are followed, they invented this concept of annuling the entire electoral process, from the very beginning (so even the candidate registrations have to be re-done).

Secondly, they did this based on evidence that was public knowledge for two weeks, including the last few times they met and validated the counts.

Thirdly, the evidence in question is vague accusations of Russian interference with no specifics. There are no names, no identified groups, no sums of money except for one lump payment by a businessman. The only clear accusation is campaign finance violations (which the authorities had already blatantly ignored, as the candidate in question had registered his campaign costing 0 RON, which was known to the relevant authorities since last month and to the public for two weeks).
I appreciate the politeness :-)

Good point, red hat is far from perfect. The way they handled cent was incredibly disappointing.

It's really hard to take this line of argument seriously. Drawing parallels between a Twitter meme account run by a half dozen guys and a state intelligence apparatus is absurd.
At both companies, there has been some speculation that if TikTok appeals the ruling and the case ends up in the Supreme Court, Trump might file an amicus brief asking for time to figure out a solution before a ban would go into effect.

> As Enron and FTX both show well, personal criminal responsibility for high level executives and a "corporate death penalty" already exist and get used when circumstances warrant

Really not comparable. Enron and FTX were both insolvent due to Ponzi scheme-esque levels of fraud by their executives. The executives were sued for misleading investors and outright fraud, including securities fraud.

Boeing killing people with negligence, or Chevron poisoning millions through negligence, resulted in nothing. Personal responsibility for executives only exists for defrauding investors or tax authorities, which is wildly insufficient. Corporate death penalty only exists if the company is literally insolvent, and even them it might get rescued (GM), which is wildly insufficient.

Because the other main term being used in the piece is Intuitive. When I see the words Intuitive and Introverted, I think, "Huh, that's halfway to an MBTI."

Also, yes, introversion is a concept in more rigorous forms of personality science, but it's normally distributed. The idea of a sharp binary between E and I is very MBTI and complete BS. It's great for identity formation, bad for actually understanding human behavior.
It’s very simple, the entire young generation lives on TT. It’s where they get all of their information. It’s owned by a foreign adversary. We already have laws against foreign owned media for radio and TV, why would this be any different given this is TV in 2024?

There is a program called Earthquake Brace and Bolt in California that subsidizes some of the costs of a basic retrofit. Its mostly about going into the crawlspace and securing the walls to the foundation. They subsidize between $3k and $8k depending on the work done. Only a limited number can be funded each year so they randomly pick among those who apply. We got lucky this year. We are still getting quotes but the out of pocket cost will be under $1k.

If you really don't need old email, then don't bother, but for the chance that you do need them sometimes, but don't want to store everything in an internet connected place - it would be an option setting up a old laptop for this(maybe with Thunderbird), where you can remove the wifi chip for this air gapped use case. (In most older laptops they are easy to remove and not soldered on.)

Then regulary exporting all the needed files, either just copy them with a USB stick and more secure would be burning CD-R's for each data transfer. And it likely helps having an exotic linux system on the laptop, so a windows USB worm won't replicate there if you use the pragmatic USB data transfer variant.

We aren't used to draconian internet control in the west yet, in China and Russia the population is. Everyone who's anyone just uses a VPN and uses western internet when they like. China banned western social media for the exact same reason that the US wanted to, they were just ready to do it earlier.

A lot of these aren’t defaults because of backwards compatibility. IMO there is no reason to not use WAL mode, but it’s not default because it came later
If it makes it any better, drafts only happen during wartime and only if there aren't enough troops to wage the war with volunteers alone.

So ostensibly a draft occurs when the country is facing a threat to its existence. So if you feel bad about the concept of a draft, understand that the alternative may be a lost war.
A country is actually allowed to vote for a pro-Putin politician.

You may not like it, but that's not what this is about.

Also, it's actually okay to be against democracy. You should just say it instead of dancing around it though.
Elon understands that after so many zeroes pile up in your account book, the money starts becoming useless unless it can be combined with power. If an opportunity presents itself where you can make a lot of money and obtain a lot of political power, then, that's a deal that's hard to pass up!

You would be in legal trouble for breaking electoral law. Based on what happened today, if there is proof that the electoral process was tainted, the elections can be annulled by the constitutional court.
The interesting things about these claims of manipulation via social media platforms is we are no longer on the side of the coin saying “my side is censored” but very much “the other side is visible and should not be”.

Interfering by censorship is bad because you deny people information on which to base their decision. Interfering by allowing all candidates to be heard is not negative interference at all. This decision by the court is yet another blow for the credibility of democracy in the west.

The UK with Brexit was an interesting case: highly contentious, counted promptly, the establishment acknowledged they didn’t like it and reluctantly eventually followed through. That was when democracy went too far, and now the plebs must pick only between pre approved options.

Another reason companies hire juniors is because they cannot find/afford seniors. The demand that stems from this reason will increase over time when companies are not hiring "enough" juniors (because if we aren't hiring juniors we aren't making more seniors, so they become increasingly scarce and expensive).
I mean, even if his campaign finances are declared wrong, it's still shocking that this leads to an election being overturned.

Using my own experience in America, misdeclaring finances (which has been done by Clinton, Trump, Biden, Harris, etc) leads to fines from the FEC, not an election being overturned.
No, suicide success is around 1%. That success rate varies widely with method. But if, for example, you just down a bunch of pills and then tell someone, you're extremely likely to live.
Do you really think that being remote is "staying home with the kids"? You're physically in the same building as them, but either you're not really working, or your kids don't actually need an adult to be there because they are grown up anyway, so no childcare is needed because they go to school.
I wonder how much it costs The Verge to run their platform, and how much they need subscribers to pay to stay profitable.

The fence part is that when we were paying for newspaper subscriptions, they still were chock full of ads. It's just that they tended to be relegated to entire pages or sections that weren't obnoxious.

Maybe there's something different about how we peruse online content vs paper that makes us annoyed at digital and not paper ads... I will say that website ads have become so obtrusive and in the way and distracting that I'm just turned off to them.
Oh, definitely. I just wanted to list the one improvement I have actually used, even if I didn't actually need it.
