From the SO help center (https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/vote-up):

When should I not vote up?

Posts should be voted on based on the content in the post rather than the person who wrote it. Voting for specific people, whether you know them or not, can negatively impact our ranking system. Here are some examples of common cases that should be avoided:

- Repeatedly upvoting several of a user's posts to say "thanks" for one great answer.
- Repeatedly upvoting posts created by people you know because you know them – often friends, family, or coworkers.
- Targeting a specific user with votes for any other reason.

In cases where voting patterns appear to be targeted, the votes are likely to be reversed, either by automatic systems or manually following an investigation by the staff, which will cause a loss of reputation earned from these votes.

-----

The rules around abuse of the voting system are by necessity somewhat fuzzy, you can't enumerate all the possible cases clearly. And bounties are even more fuzzy as they can be similarily abused, but users still have a lot of freedom in deciding how to use them.

Usually misuse of bounties would likely just result in the mods warning the user and undoing the bounties, exactly because this is an area where the rules are not necessarily clear to users and the boundaries are somewhat fuzzy. But Evan Carroll certainly knows how the system works and is a user with a very extensive history on SO. Suspensions and especially suspension lengths are heavily influenced by previous behaviour. A year-long suspension means this is at least the third suspension for that user according to the guidelines given to mods for suspension lengths.
You are correct and I've adjusted the comment since it is not delete-able afaict.
Also tabbed web browsing. I tend to line up the YouTube vids I want to watch while coffee brews, then watch with coffee in hand. Sometimes they get left there for the entire day, minimized while I do something more productive. At least with chromium, that takes a lot of memory (even though it does a few things to conserve). I also have a few other applications running all the time. It gets pretty close sometimes.

Anyway, now that they're available, I'm getting one. I sure have a lot of Pis nowadays.
I disagree, unless you're comparing it to a barenbones implementation like Sway.

I have shortly considered trying to port the Serenity GUI to Wayland, though, because I really like the visual style. I don't have the C++ knowledge to effectively navigate the project, though, so I let go of that idea pretty quickly.

SerenityOS has no business running on Linux, but a fork could be pretty neat for 90s GUI lovers. IMO the Serenity UI easily beats those heavily reskinned KDE installs every time.
Practically it has kinda converged, though not necessarily on a global optimum. Most coding is done in relatively few languages.
Ask HN: List of A/B Testing Tools
Can you share a list of A/B testing tools you know or have worked with(which probably are worth considering)?

Looking for options that work well with startups for optimizing websites, apps, or campaigns.
A pack of 10 tea spoons. Cant tell you how self-satisfied I am every time I make a brew and DONT need to wash up a spoon.
I mean you wouldn't run a database on a GB10 device or cluster of them thereof. GH200 is another story, however, the potential improvement wrt the databases-in-GPUs still falls short of the question if there are enough workloads that are compute-bound in the substantial part of total wall-clock time for given workload.

In other words, and hypothetically, if you can improve logical plan execution to run 2x faster by rewriting the algorithms to make use of GPU resources but physical plan execution remains to be bottlenecked by the storage engine, then the total sum of gains is negligible.

But I guess there could perhaps be some use-case where this could be proved as a win.
I relate completely. I usually solve it by sticking a post-it note on the screen so it covers my face in the call. It makes the calls feel a lot more natural and less awkward.
can you share a link? my old Le-Crouset (15y/o) ones are EOL I think....
> going against every bit of our human evolution

you're saying this typing on a _computer_ - how does that fit into human evolution?

IMO humans evolve in an ethical standpoint as well and tend to want to cause the least amount of suffering possible as we evolve. That is why we have medicine, don't usually own slaves, don't hit children, and don't abuse animals.
I know V for over promising in the past, a quick scan over the syntax really looks like how Go should've designed (can't really blame Go early design decisions, for me was not until Rust that I learned about the good side of functional programming languages, before that I didn't knew they ever existed.
A useful purpose for such a thing is in certain embedded, hard-real-time, or mission-critical scenarios.

Many such programming environments need strict control over stack sizes to avoid any possibility of stack overflow.

I had a similar notion a few years back, thinking about a somewhat wider range of "scoped guarantees". The compiler would compute things such as the maximum stack usage of a function, and this would "roll up" to call sites automatically. This could also be used to enforce non-usage of certain dangerous features such as locks, global flags, or whatever.
> And for stats nerds, the pricing model for Pi 5 follows this polynomial curve almost perfectly

If you actually use the memory as the input instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 then a line would fit it perfectly (40 + 5x).
That's less to do with people paying to watch someone throw a disc as far as they can, and more to do with corporations understanding that putting the Olympic logo on a shirt increases sales.
> Did you miss the "gas chambers" part in the comment I replied to?

The analogy was clearly with those denying healthcare. Have you personally denied people healthcare?
The Raspberry Pi has been a bad deal for a long time now. Persistent shortages drove the real-world price up (no one was selling them for MSRP) and for some reason they never came back down.

Cheap tiny PCs are better at the high end, and increasingly-capable microcontrollers are better for tinkering. The Pi sits in a weird niche, and its popularity these days is largely based on inertia and network effects.

It's been a slow, strange shift away from a $25 computer meant for kids to learn programming and electronics.
When my Macbook Pro suddenly died while I was travelling, I was surprised I could productively use my Rpi4+ that I had with me as a temporary replacement. I set up VSCode to use Remote-SSH, and was doing all compilation/development on a cheap Vserver (<15€/mo). VSCode ran quite well locally on the RPI. This was a good temp. replacement for a couple of weeks, now I keep my RPI as an emergency device with me in case my main laptop dies again.
This is really informative. I wonder if there is a better solution for the reallocation problem, one that preserves pointers.
The lesson I've learned over the years of purchasing several Raspberry Pi's is this: Unless you're in the need to integrate a project through the GPIO's interface I would be better off spending on one of those (second hand) mini-pcs by lenovo, dell, etc. Even if you want to use it for a low budget mini server, performance for the buck is way better off with a mini pc.
Because "While that’s roughly double 2023’s low base, it’s still only 63% of 2019’s same-period level and well short of the near full recovery Beijing would have been hoping for as it slashed red tape."

Personally, I've made use of the visa-free entry policy twice to leave the airport for a few hours on a layover and spent exactly zero money in-country... Visitor-days might be a better metric than just counting visitors.
Later: I came across a streamer’s video taken from his motorcycle as he rode through Altadena on Wednesday afternoon. In this part, he passes through a burned-out neighborhood I used to know:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D29RXlm4yE&t=584s

From the street signs, I was able to identify a location where a high school friend of mine lived—the house now burned to the ground. (It’s been nearly fifty years since I graduated from high school, and I don’t know if her family still lives there or not.)
Why would they (the companies) have to do anything should be the question.
Can you give some example? I mostly also care about energy efficiency. How much energy would the alternatives consume?
You've obviously never worked in consulting.
Perhaps the issue with "the Internet enables self-learning" is that people just read the arguments they like and dismiss the ones they don't like; however perverse it is, there's some merit to an authority figure/your friends in a classroom saying "you're wrong" -- but then again, in the Taliban-ruled areas of the United States they teach that evolution is a lie.

I can see how a manifesto saying "the truth is, women are [bla bla bla], therefore [bla bla]" can make sense in a superficial level (and gives twats like Jordan Peterson an air of intelligence), and can be persuasive to incels.

Of course suppression isn't the answer either.
I deleted my Airbnb account a few months ago due to multiple similar situations, after 4 years of practically living full time through Airbnb in Europe. Airbnb’s “insurance” or guarantees are completely worthless, as I’ve found out after things go wrong, you’re basically on your own. I’ve lost thousands of dollars to the convenience of their app, would rather take my chances with old-school hotels and direct contacts, and be less likely to lose money at the click of a button with the promise of “insurance”.
Delightful book, like some of Italo Calvino's works.
Interesting to see that both Gold and US large cap stocks returned +20% in 2024, when there’s usually a minimal (or even negative) correlation between those asset classes.

I always wondered - why do we usually need to build software for a target architecture/system on the same architecture/system? Unless the build includes tests, it doesn't need to be run?

I get that Apple has its own BS reasons for that, but Linux?

Seconded, the whole design seems like something straight out of the books. And it also feels like it's just waiting for other solar systems to be included there…
It's not expensive because apple severely overcharges for pitiful amounts of ram. What?
Where are you located and what's your ethnicity? I'm generalising this that in the United States unless you're loud mouth you'd be ignored, in Japan on the other hand total opposite.
It's possible that you have unrealistic expectations regarding the depth and length of attention anyone, yourself included, can get from a group. We tend to observe and critique ourselves disproportionally and not pay attention to the experience of others - what opportunities they have to participate, how much attention they really get, etc...

Try to observe how groups interact - unless someone is exceptionally important (leader, famous or very charismatic person) people just chatter in short chunks, exchanging low stakes, often meaningless, remarks, as well as lots of laughs, little jokes, noises like ehrm, oooh, uhm, without anyone getting much of an opportunity to convey anything significant. That's just how group interaction works on average.

If you lower your expectations and focus on just maintaining a fun and positive interaction with the group, you'll be less frustrated, more confident, and maybe you'll also find it easier to get a message across in the rare case where it's really worth it.

If consistently having meaningful information-dense interactions is very important to you, you may want to focus on finding groups that prioritize this sort of interaction. They are really quite rare, but look for meetups of like-minded people who want to have a deep discussion of a specific topic, for example.
ChatGPT is the winner this time, but only after several inquiries. Comes with languages lessons, as expected:

SS Neekeri was a Finnish steamship built in 1871. The ship's name reflects the language of its time, but today it is understandably considered outdated and offensive. Such names were commonly used in the past without awareness of their potentially racist or offensive connotations.

The ship was primarily used for cargo transport and operated in Finnish waters. Eventually, it was decommissioned, but it is mentioned in historical records as part of Finland's maritime history. Today, names like this prompt discussions about how language and cultural perceptions evolve over time.
Was very surprised it wasn't mentioned
It's definitely a sword fight.

You may as well say "it's an Olympic event, not a sport" or "it's a TV show, not an Olympic event." These are overlapping categories.
I find this style of writing from Quanta very jarring and detracting from the usefulness of the article.

A bit down in TFA it talks about exactly that and why it doesn't do exactly what they want.
Yes, getting into prison after you committed a crime and were condemned for it, is usually not a free choice.
In addition, the second-best product is then perceived as cheaper as it would be if it were assessed in isolation.
All of this is true but many of the competitors don't support their products after launch. If you want a product that will be supported by software into the future there aren't so many alternatives.

I don't think there's much hypocrisy in that statement. My interpretation would be something like this:

-- I don't personally think that sex work should be stigmatised

-- Other people do stigmatise it, however.

-- I would like to point out to these people that what I do is analogous to a light version of sex work [and arguably any professional sportsperson sells their body one way or another - so why not this?]
In the UK, and I get lots of spam calls on my mobile that are initially in English but end with "press one for English or 2 for Chinese" or similar, and you get connected to someone speaking Chinese either way.

Most of them are from "immigration department" (incorrect terminology for the UK BTW) and are about invalid visas or the like. Some claim to be from the Chinese Embassy.
So? It’s not as if Apple wouldn’t have plenty of other ways to fund WebKit development otherwise.
Yes, and there is cost in maintaining an extra SKU.

It would cost about $3 to make the 2GB RPI5 a 4GB PI5, and you might save something close to that by removing a SKU. You then get a bunch of new applications (which need more RAM) for your SBC and your product sells more as it looks better value. On the whole that $3 is now looking like a bargin.

I don't think 32GB is needed or sensible, so will disagree there.
Why would you bother complicating things for yourself by installing Raspberry PI OS on a NUC or small pc?

Great job making yourself more work...

PowerShell can process 0..n input objects from the pipeline using BEGIN {...} PROCESS {...} END {...} blocks.

I find this so incredibly useful, that I miss it from other languages.

Something related that I've noticed with OO languages such as Java is that it tends to result in "ceremony" getting repeated n-times for processing n objects. a well-designed begin-process-end syntax for function calls over iterables would be amazing. This could apply to DB connection creation, security access checks, logging, etc...

RAMFS is a genius idea. That solves most of the SD card health and speed issues without needing to get a whole hard drive. I know Puppy[0] and MX Linux[1] were made to run like that too.

Heh don't look at NVIDIA and prices for more VRAM!
Soccer is objectively more readable by spectators (even educated ones) than Olympic fencing. You're using the Law of Averages, which is not real.
I believe it's just a git repo behind the scenes. Not sure if the UI exposes those things as I never used that in multi-developer scenarios!
Give it a go and see.
There have been manufacturing 'incidents' in the past, also with audio CD's. Some of my old Aphex Twin CDs rot because one big UK manufacturer screwed up production in the early 90s.
This is doomed to failure.

Cybersecurity best practices are a point in time snapshot, the label will be dependent on at purchase time, how will that help people who have purchased second hand, or had products where items on shelves suddenly had a vulnerability discovered? You really think they are going to go through the cost of sending those back?

All software bugs can potentially be security bugs.

Blockchain is not needed. A huge class of problems could be solved by simply refusing to trust the game client. Plenty of games do that to this day.

https://youtu.be/AUjuefLqphY

You tell the server you're on the other side of the map and it just trusts you. Teleport hack. The other guy is on the other side of the map and behind a wall but the server is still sending you his position. Why send the client information it shouldn't have?

They want to pwn your computer so that you can't tamper with the game. They should fix the game so that tampering with it doesn't matter.
Of course it does. The patients wanted care early enough to save their live. They denied them that care. Hypothetical care after death is worthless.

Whether they denied that care by not paying for it (which means people could have gotten that care if they would have had the means), or by limiting the amount of care in a period of time, doesn't really matters for the person who didn't get it.

Why do you think the healthcare resources (number of beds, hospitals etc) are limited? Why isn't there a second hospital?

By the way, would they have paid for an operation in a different country if space would be available there? No? So they denied that healthcare.
Just a silly example, but it does work on SBCL at least.
Now I can't follow the thousands of guides and examples tailored exactly to Pi software and hardware.

Maybe now you can see why "and you're good." isn't actually true?
That was bothering me as well, the RAM simply costs $5 per GB.

First you need to find out if the problem is in the delivery, like voice, emotion or body language, or the actual content. There are people who have difficulty contributing things that have a point, or say things that "don't go anywhere".

This will be hard to find out on your own or asking online. Find a friend and try to get them to talk to you about this, this can be difficult, but if you try to make clear in a one on one conversation that you're suffering from this and you need their honest opinion, it would probably help.
But WebKit does not contain any default search engine.
It is the general insecurity about new tech although I haven't seen a single job being replaced by AI yet. And I also think the market for SWE is still very good though. And the only ones that use AI on a large scale for that matter.

Salesforce came into discussion as a CRM solution for us, but the salesman was so arrogant that he was quickly booted out. If first thought it would be nice to develop against a more modern system, but today I am glad we never jumped on that train. And I hear it devolved into the same mess that CRM systems somehow always seem to be.

The word valuable is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I don't personally consider the legions of people working in filling my eyeballs with advertisement valuable, but it certainly makes a lot of money.
Yeah, lawyering up works best in silence. Don't announce it, especially if you won't actually do it. That's just a double defeat, you show your hand in advance and they get defensive.
Sure but would they? Currently they get it totally for free. If they had to finance the development themselves then it would get real hard to justify real quick. $20bn is a lot of money even for Apple

It's not about whether or not Apple have the resources to make their own browser engine, it's about whether it makes sense from a business point of view to make their own browser engine. Currently it does, because Google pay them huge amounts of money to do so. But what business case would there be to pay that $20bn themselves if Google did not fund them? Would it be worth that just to avoid Chromium?
This may not apply to HN, but I wonder about sites that use JS in the page doing clever timgs with time and apparently ignore the possibility of (at least) skew between local time and time at the server.

I remember doing sysadmin for a client with machines out in the field many timezones away showing apparently the right time, but with a bodged zone! Took me a while to understand what was going on! I think we probably fixed the issue properly after discussion!
