Nope. Last time I checked, they were in the business of spewing hate and misinformation (sorry: Alternative facts), undermining any sensible discussion.

Accusing thousands of people of being incompetent is more telling of you than them.
In my opinion, Lua would kill for many use cases... If it had a bigger standard library, and batteries-included module/packaging system. I know LuaRocks exists, but it doesn't seem terribly common.

Types/type checking would also be nice. Luau does seem to offer some level of static typing, but it isn't used by a whole lot that I've seen.

That said, I think a lot of people are also glad it doesn't include much, because one of the biggest draws of Lua is that it's extremely compact and embeddable. And I do understand that, too. I remain a huge fan of Love2d even though I haven't actually released anything with it.
I would guess it probably triggered a crisis. He did an interview last year? where he talked about how bad his health was and his smoking. I read he had to be evacuated but I'm not certain it's true. That would have been a major stressor on him.

It's a poor choice of words considering GM makes cars, yes in other contexts I would read "parks" as "shelves" or "puts on hold" but even with your explanatory note it took me a couple of reads to figure out what the title actually means

What about all those people whose data was sent to LexusNexus illegally?

Will that get removed? Because those people's rates are affected.
>Health Insurance IS a huge racket. Insurance profits are only a small slice. Executive compensation isn't part of profits.

"Executive compensation" is even a "smaller slice" than profits, orders of magnitude smaller.
Wood is incredibly cheap here in the United States. Estimates I have seen in the past is a stone home will cost 15-25% more per square foot than a wood-framed home in the same location. Making it more resistant to earthquakes (a requirement in California) raises the price even further. At the end of the day, cost will almost always win.
> The code in the article is not wrong. It is not unsafe. The author explicitly handles the OOM case correctly.

And hence we circle back to what I just wrote above: you're confusing the code with the program that it compiles to. Because the code isn't there solely for the purpose of being compiled into a program, it's also serving as a stepping stone for other things (learning, modification, whatever). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42733611

If it helps to phrase it differently: the code might be "compile-safe", but not "modification-safe" or "learning-safe".
So you've never played his games, but for some reason you are assuming they're good? why? why is everyone so desperate to lend this man authority without any personal experience on something you can evaluate yourself so easily

As the governments in the US get increasingly incompetent, insurance prices are going to have to rise. Government services are largely there to protect you during black swan events, so if those services get less and less effective, you're going to need more insurance for those events.

Yet mainstream media convinced the younger generations that all the rich billionaires were the ones backing Trump.

When, in reality, for the first time ever the Republicans had _ONE_ billionaire backing them. Musk.

The Democrats have been the ones with lots of billionaires backing them for the past 20 years.
Heh, your experience is not isolated. I needed the timelapse app when I was several days deep into Algonquin park in northern Ontario. I had barely a bar of service, so I had to hoist my phone up a tree with a rope to get enough data that I could tether the camera to it. Thanks Sony.
Dacia, with their 'essential' module, should do the trick.
Testing their ability to deploy satellites is a short-term goal that will make them money now. Testing refuelling will be needed for Luna and Mars missions, but that’s a long way off anyway.

Nothing about this is deceptive or a violation of consumer rights. Far from it.

This is common for cameras. My Sony works in the same way. It can be used as a webcam using HDMI and a capture card. Canon clearly states this in their marketing for OP's camera.

OP apparently didn't understand this, but the solution is simple -- get an HDMI cable and a capture card.
You're the first person I've ever interacted with that has personally enjoyed one of his games! Your comment is forcing me to slightly update my beliefs thanks. how many hours have you played them?

And one that manage to succeed. History is written by the victors. On hindsight every move was right or at least not so bad if you ended winning, and wrong or plagued with mistakes if losing. Even if they are all mostly the same in both cases.
Yea, it's obviously a move away from open source. The FOSS tools are surely to turn to garbage. They killed of Dendrite (the re-implementation of the Matrix server in Go). People have made some clients, but I don't think there are any alternative implementations.

This is sad. The Matrix protocol will no never be XMPP. I hope Element is happy, because they're never going to be Slack. They're now stuck in a position where they are mediocre garbage to all sides.

Of course the post mentions government. Who else would buy an overpriced garbage product.
Great list! Sibling addition of Nostrom's book is a great addition. Not exactly the same, but close enough that I think it makes sense on the list.
exactly, that was core to the whole plot; oppressed mutants fighting to have their basic human rights recognized.
Ah yes, the rocket guy must be a fake nerd, and that's much worse than mistreating human beings. No flaw in that logic at all.

I had a similar experience with a Mazda lease

I never installed the app and I was asked to by the leasing guy though he wasn't pushy about it - for whatever reason, the lease/sales guys are incented to have it installed though, allegedly, mazda corporate says they don't incent them - I don't trust it

also, allegedly, since I didn't install it, mazda says my TPU is disabled which is fine by me - remote start is less important than saying many thousands of dollars on bogus insurance hikes
There are trillions of dollars of budgeted organizations dependent on Linux.

I'm talking about serious hundreds of millions funded foundations on par with windows at least to some scale.

The US government should get forking over tens of millions. Hell, it should be part of the AWS contract with the government that they fund Linux foundation that tune.

Everyone crying over some reputation smear on Linux programmers are missing the goddamn point, especially on the desktop front.

If the US wants to continue to have wide open vulnerable consumer networks, then I guess windows will make us fundamentally vulnerable. The US military needs a consumer tier secure Linux desktop. And if rather it wasn't android corporate spyware because otherwise that is what we are getting.

I guess I just answered my question. Android for everyone.

Me too, I usually upgrade to the latest and greatest with Nintendo systems (specifically if it's an improvement, the "new 3DS" but not like the 2DS for example)

But I never bought an OLED because I couldn't justify it for the amount I play my Switch handheld (almost never)
It's so interesting to see the people in awe of that "fire hurricane" video in L.A....

We had a way more intense drought than they in my city last year (theirs are not that intense). We also had 50 km/h winds. We also had higher temperatures... And all of those to levels that we never saw before. Also, we have more trees in our cities. We had new "fire hurricane" videos every week (normally, every other year somebody films one).

And we had to evacuate dozens of homes, luckily no one was destroyed and people could return 2 months later.
I've built three houses in the USA. I don't use conduit everywhere, but have always installed some in places where I think I might want something in the future. I've never regretted it.

Most useful was from my attic (not livable space) up in the trusses to my basement utility room. When I convinced a local WISP to use my roof for a back haul and access for the neighborhood it saved them (and me) from running wires all over the outside of my house and was a quick, clean install.

Conduit is common in commercial work here, but almost never in residential.
One huge problem with respect to fire resistance, in American home's, are the use of truss connector plates. While they have many advantages in cost and allow impressive cheap big houses, they fundamentally weaken the wood when it burns. Often houses just collapse on that joints, not because the overall beam failed, but this interface. In the end the use of "wood" is blamed, but that failed to address the rootcause.
>Soon, people will realize that the entire economic system that caused climate change in the first place will not save us.

Disagree. "the entire economic system that caused climate change in the first place" is also responsible for the green transition, including cheap electric cars and renewable energy.

>Once we stop sacrificing our lives in the name of Almighty Profit, then maybe we can move forward and come up with solutions that aren't just "lol stop living in LA".

Alright, what's your solution to "the entire economic system that caused climate change in the first place" that aren't just "lol just stop capitalism"?
In cusco basin in Peru spanish colons realized their brick made building were falling down at every earthquake. They also realized incas building made of thin walls built on top of large stones that can move relative to each others during an earthquake were resisting much better. They then decided to reuse the foundations of incas buildings and put their brick build constructions on top of it to have earthquake resistant building.

Earthquake resistant constructions made of stones have been known for centuries by the incas and probably other civilizations without having building entirely made of wood, why can't californians?
>> Software development isn’t free, and I’m happy to pay for software I use regularly. However, Canon is a hardware company, not a software company, and they should—due to the lack of standards—provide software that allows you to use their cameras as intended.

Software development isn't free, but everyone needs to hammer the message home to everyone they know that the marginal cost of software is ZERO. Any company continuing to charge for software is probably rolling that money back into enshittification which nobody wants anyway.

This Canon software would actually make their product more valuable like the software inside the camera that they don't charge subscription for. Perhaps a one time price for an app, but this whole subscription and advertising trend is one I have not and will not join.

It takes a toll.
Setting aside all privacy issues entirely, I'm curious as to the details of the internal approval process (or perhaps lack of process) in GM.

The act itself is obviously customer-hostile, and it's at least fairly obvious that at some point you'll get caught out. So why risk it? It could be a rogue executive, but it could also be that consumers are known to care so little about things like this that the blowback is factorable as a cost of doing business, like the apocryphal Ford fuel tank story. I wonder which is the reality.

Wildfires are not the problem. They happen all the time without causing billion-dollar insurance claims. Insurance is always assets x risk. The issue is expensive flamable housing (assets) in a wildfire area (risk). We ask for trouble when we create million-dollar wooden houses surrounded by manicured gardens in desert enviroments. And build on a slope facing pervailing winds. The answer is concrete/brick houses with metal/ceramic rooves surrounded by sand/stone/concrete. Want a big green lawn? Move to the pacific northwest. Want to live near the beating heart of the movie industry, a town where it never rains? Get used to cactuses instead of rose gardens.
Politicians' claims don't do anything about anything because they're words. But actually taking murder more seriously through action - allocating money to investigations, prosecutions, social services, better jobs - I'd be surprised if that had no effect.

The comment I replied to said "taking sexual harassment seriously" was pointless, not "talking about taking sexual harassment seriously" was pointless. I agree with the latter, not the former.
This is the right mindset. It makes your customers trust you.
Especially when even in wood framed houses your walls are still stone specifically for the fire resistant properties.

If you wanted to make fun of building practices it would probably be the trend of plastic siding.

Not being willing to throw out bad/unused features is a different trap that organizations fall into. The amount of work that goes into, shall we say fortifying the foundations of a particular feature, ideally should be proportional to how much revenue that feature is responsible for. Test code also has to be maintained, and increasing the maintenance burden on something that has its own maintenance burden when customers don't even like it is shortsighted at the very least.

The assumption with low-code tooling was that AI is so good at writing actual code in a way that it will make low-code tools redundant. Spending time with Windsurf, Cursor, and a bunch of VSCode extensions, while it was so impressive to see new projects being created autonomously, asking for new requirements or fixing bugs after >10 iterations was more complex.

I had to audit the code and give specific directions on how to restructure the code to avoid getting stuck when the project gets more complex. That makes me think autonomous agents will do much better on low-code tools, as their restrictions ensure the agent is on track. The problem with low-code tools is that they also get more complicated to scale after maybe like >200 iterations. (for a medium-sized project, on average 6 months)
I could but I won’t… do you think I asked that question because I urgently need accurate data on Japanese housing? Why does anyone join forums, or discuss things with friends in real life when they could just Google things?
Cool to see!

I'm interested in learning a lower level language a bit better. I've spent some time in Rust and C (not enough to be proficient) -- is Zig a good candidate? It seems to have a lot of interest, I'm curious about objective views on its long term progress and forecast.
I get that we're on a tech forum but the vast, vast majority of people in this country don't have the financial ability to just move wherever they want. I'm not saying that means that Floridians shouldn't worry about this, but this bootstraps narrative is ridiculous. Everyone here makes substantially more money than the average Joe.

Then you may be interested in Simplicity Theory:

https://simplicitytheory.telecom-paris.fr/

Relevant situations are unexpected
Relevant features generate compression
A situation or event is relevant if it is unexpected.
This means that it is simpler to describe than to generate.

In particular this recent paper:

>Unexpectedness and Bayes’ Rule

>A great number of methods and of accounts of rationality consider at their foundations some form of Bayesian inference. Yet, Bayes’ rule, because it relies upon probability theory, requires specific axioms to hold (e.g. a measurable space of events). This short document hypothesizes that Bayes’ rule can be seen as a specific instance of a more general inferential template, that can be expressed also in terms of algorithmic complexities, namely through the measure of unexpectedness proposed by Simplicity Theory.

Great to see Hotwire Native here! I was asking myself would it be easier for Shopify to steer back more towards Rails ecosystem technologies. They went React / JavaScript full-throttle. JavaScript ecosystem seems so immature, and changing constantly with a huge maintenance burden. Rails feels really stable and Hotwire, although it's changing, feels stable. Stimulus was announced in 2018 I believe and they didn't have a single paradigm shift comparable to React's hooks, server components, etc.
The 'Dopamine Hit' of Social Media Isn't the Problem
But Highmark, the parent organization, is still a non profit. Based on their revenue and expenses on their 990 going back a decade, the entire organization is not delivering profit to any owners, it’s just spending money earned in its for profit subsidiaries elsewhere in its org.

Specifics aside, I think it is conclusively shown that no health insurance / managed care organization earns a ton of profit margin. No one is going to become billionaire rich by starting up a managed care organization, because they will spend almost all they earn.

It’s such a low profit margin business, that Buffett, Dimon, and Bezos abandoned it:

Nice.

I had low contrast between my hand and my t-shirt, so I had to keep my hand over my head and it's very tiring. I don't know how you can solve this, I probably need better illumination.

When I remove the hand from the camera view, the balls go back to the middle of the paddle. I expected the ball to freeze and a short countdown when the hand is visible again. I tried to cheat removing my hand on purpose but there is a big lag between the time I hide my hand and the game stops.

After a few tries, I discovered that I can hide my hand when the ball is going up at 75% and the game will freeze after the ball hits the block and the ball is going up at 50%, so I don't have to catch the ball!

(Yes, I know cheating in a single player game is stupid.)
What could go wrong?

With more regulations and more government involvement the end of the “Wild West” era in “crypto” might be in sight.

And yet, more government involvement might also mean the end of non-KYC exchanges that are desperately needed by those who have to operate “outside” of the law.

This is why spouses sometimes divorce anyone leaving a high pay industry to rest. They have to act quickly to lock in high alimony/child support to maintain their standard of luxury at high imputed income so the spouse will go to jail if they don't continue their stressful job.
BEM naming conventions in CSS and splitting HTML into components at the back end template level existed long before JS frameworks and single page applications.

I'd say the big mind-shifts with React were the virtual DOM replacing things like progressive enhancement, and later with Next and server side components, the commingling of back-end and front-end, which is mostly a complicated solution to the problem already created by moving away from progressive enhancement.
The upkeep on them eventually gets pretty high (if you're not a DIY mechanic) and it's a good deal security wise, but bad deal financially.
You're right that I exaggerated, sorry about that.

Still, many of these are more successful than Starship:

The first GSLV was still able to deploy a satellite, just in a lower orbit than intended.

The first Delta IV had the same problem, satellite deployed, but in a lower orbit than planned.

The first Long March 5 is classed as a full success on Wikipedia, I couldn't find info there about a failure (the second one did blow up).

The Rocket Labs' Electron did get destroyed. However it was later found that nothing at all was wrong with the vehicle, it was a failure in the ground software, and an identical vehicle successfully carried out its mission 7 months later.

In contrast, the first two Starships blew up completely due to engine issues, and no Starship has deployed even a test payload of some kind to orbit. In fact, until today, none even carried a payload of any kind, they have all been flying empty.
Starship program is funded in part by NASA as part of Artemis program. So some of this money is ours.
