Yeah, don't do that. Both the program name, and the arguments can and do contain spaces. Do instead what every other languages do, that is, use a list of strings to invoke programs.

> The latter is even the same syntax that lisp uses for functions calls

No it's not.
I’ve never worked somewhere where mandatory PR reviews didn’t turn into mostly red tape.

The pressure to get work done faster in the long term always wins out over other concerns and you end up with largely surface level speed reviews that don’t catch much of anything. At best they tend to enforce taste.

In 20 years across many companies and thousands of PRs, I’ve never had a reviewer catch a single major bug (a bug that would have required declaring an incident) that would have otherwise gone out. I've pushed a few major bugs to production, but they always made it through review.

I’ve been doing this since well before everyone was using GitHub and requiring PR reviews for every merge. I haven’t noticed a significant uptick in software quality since the switch.

The cost is high enough that I’d like to see some hard evidence justifying it. It just seems to be something people who have never done any different take on faith.
We need a full-time Senior Mechanical Engineer! This hybrid SF Bay-based role will work 2-3 days/week out of our Oakland, CA hardware lab. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of shipping hardware that works, feels at home both in CAD and at a workbench, and loves diving into sensor data from the field. Expected salary is $150-200k/year.
Yeah I think you're right. Unfortunately I'm coming to appreciate that many of the users here are heavily pro-censorship / "protect the children" types. Never thought I would see it happen. Feel like I'm waking up from a coma realizing everything's changed. It's so antithetical to the HN I knew and loved.
That's not realistic at all. Israel has no apparent plans to settle the major Palestinian population centers in the West Bank like Nablus, Ramallah etc. and evict Palestinians from there.

Indeed, life will probably continue getting worse for West Bank Palestinians under the Israeli apartheid regime, but there's no reason to believe they'll be literally exterminated.
Well, the author did superbly better job of explaining anything to people that haven't graduated quantum mechanics than you did. That's something.

They should be. If doesn't matter how well everything is documented or how above-board the company is when the courts turn into kangaroo courts for a thoroughly corrupt administration. They're right to get out now while they still can.
Astroturfing

Many people believe they need to add support to their cause at the expense of accuracy, so instead of elaborating or explaining why they just try to drown out discourse that doesnt automatically help them

For programmers, coders, hackers here: What did you do career-wise or business-wise, or life-wise after you turned 40? And something you didn't regret. Maybe something you did new for the first time and changed your life.
We need a full-time Embedded / Full Stack Software Engineer! This hybrid SF Bay-based role will work 2-3 days/week out of our Oakland, CA hardware lab.

> More than the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War?

Yes. Those were Egypt and Syria's concern, not OPEC's.

> You'd be hard pressed to find the Nixon shock on the international price of oil

BINGO! That's the problem. The US dollar was tanking due to the Nixon Shock. OPEC was getting paid with ever more worthless pieces of paper.

OPEC already had soured relations with the West due to the Nixon Shock and believed they weren't being compensated fairly for their product, due to how the oil market was structured at that time. The West's support of Israel during the Yom Kippur War simply proved to be too much.

OPEC retaliated to these events with the Oil Embargo, which completely altered the oil market from then on and gave OPEC much greater financial power, and money.

At the end of the day, the Oil Embargo was mostly about money, solving a money crises created by the Nixon Shock. Its resolution resulted in OPEC getting more money.

Let me put it this way, if there had been no Nixon Shock, would the Yom Kippur War in and of itself have caused the Oil Embargo? Probably not. The Oil Embargo wasn't about ideology, it was about money. That's why the always say to follow the money.

I'm showing my age here, but I remember when the tech community actually advocated for free and open speech without all the qualifiers like 'freedom of speech, not REACH' being pushed by the very groups who -used- to advocate genuine freedom of expression.

Cryptography was going to save us from govt prying and overreach, the internet was going to allow us to connect and share thoughts and ideas (even if they were offensive or disagreeable) -- and that was a good thing!

Now everyone WANTS to be treated by toddlers and coddled by a govt who knows best.

First it was 'well it's their platform man, what are you going to do? They have a right to editorialize their website - go start your own if you want to say unpopular things!'

Then it's 'well we didn't actually expect you to do that... we need to bankrupt any web host or payment processor who dares do business with you.
BTW are you sure you don't want to setup a portal for the exclusive use of our state AG's to censor (I mean moderate!) your site?
Maybe we could let one of the crappy payment processors keep doing business with you if you could meet us half way...'

'You can't possibly have thought posting online was really anonymous, and we all agree that opinion means your employer should be harassed until you are homeless - thems just the breaks'

Whatever it is, it's just never enough now - you must be 100% aligned with the current thing, and if you aren't whatever right you think you have in the public square doesn't apply online or we will string you up... don't you know, there could be children nearby!

Zuckerberg is a menace who should be shunned anywhere and everywhere he goes, but articles like this (and the mentality they represent) is just as demented as anything he has done.

If your world view is so fragile a social media post can shatter it, it deserves to be shattered and you aren't nearly as firm in your 'beliefs' as you would like to loudly make sure everyone else hears you assert that you most definitely are.

If you can't figure out how to block or mute or keyword filter content you don't want to see, maybe it's you who needs to be kept off of the internet rather than everyone else? The rest of us are still going to have opinions on things, no matter how much you screech.

The fact things have gotten so bad that I am basically being forced to defend a billionaire who made his fortune as an appendage of the state sanctioned spying apparatus is absolutely bonkers. I hate this guy as much as I can hate any human, and yet here we are it turns out I hate the current 'zeitgeist' more than the founder of FaceBook. Quite the feat!
This doesn't match my experiences with India, SEA or mainland Europe.

Suburban lifestyle can only exist in a world where urban areas already exist. They rely on the city-dwellers to create the experiences, entertainment & economic hubs. Then suburbanites separate themselves from the city, reducing geographic inflow and tax outflow, while demanding equal access to all of those amenities. It's a one-way street.

Cities around the world are becoming wise to it. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

Amenities like free parking for all, wide streets, downtown interstates & property taxes based sequestering defined the 1950s-2000s suburban chokehold. As a result, city dwellers experienced suburbanite imposed forced misery. With the return of bike lanes, traffic calming, interstate removal and congestion pricing, city dwellers are beginning to reclaim the city for themselves. Or so I hope.
I don’t know, prioritizing sharing the sidewalk with everyone who wants to use it seems like it should transcend individual priorities.
No. Sustaining a business with a margin doesn't necessarily mean that maximizing the margin has to be the ultimate goal. A company can look to maximize market share, revenue, or other ambitions.
This is incorrect. The way shorting works is you borrow a stock (and keep paying premium for the duration) and sell it

Premiums are usually small, so you can make many multiples of paid premium

And since their business model is releasing the findings, which in turn makes the stock drop, they can time their short position very well and don't need to pay premiums for long
Of course, a lot of activities carry risk; doesn't mean teenagers will completely abstain from them.

The missing piece here might be that, as a teenager, it's pretty easy to convince yourself that the main way girls will reject you is by expressing that they're uncomfortable. (I believe this is called "getting the ick" in modern slang; the old movies your parents like call it "get lost, creep".) So if you're afraid of rejection, it's plausible that you'd be afraid of the legal consequences of making someone uncomfortable more than the personal embarrassment or emotional pain of the actual rejection.
My statement still stands true regardless. Not worried.
From a legal viewpoint, selfcheck mistakes make you a criminal, and the stores make money for going after you for a settlement. Its already happening for customer mistakes to be prosecuted and settlements (walmart is the biggest culprit).

I'm buying groceries not getting into a possible legal issue, I'll avoid self checkout on a cart, maybe on 1 or 2 items self checkout is ok'ish.

Plus I feel using self checkout puts people out of jobs.

Look, you may fool peoe with your “all Palestinians are terrorists” rhetoric in zionist circles, but I would hope that most other people would be able to see through the propaganda.

Israel has imprisoned people in “administrative detention” with no legal recourse for decades, for all kinds of bullshit reasons. If my home was being taken by settlers, which happens in the West Bank on the daily, I would do more than just throw stones. And it would land me in jail as a “terrorist”.
That of course allows for a new internal seditious attack vector. Generate a handful of spreadsheets in your own folder, name it something like "executive payroll data" or "sales revenue by org," put whatever you want in there, mark it visible by all, and wait.

Maybe make an "Interesting Facts About Products" table and put things like "Management plans to terminate this product in Q3" or "this group will be outsourced next year."
I mean, for me that alone would be enough to just pass on it. I'm sure there are more interesting, more secluded trails that are just are intrinsically novel if I wanted to visit that range.

I'm chill with a bit of traffic on popular trails, but that also kill the vibe I'd imagine. Hope it was still fun though.
There are a bunch of no-artificial-dye candies and whatnot on the market already, and they actually look better to me - they're not absurd unnatural colors.
Thanks. Just had a quick look at both. Proton is 6.99 euro/user/month and fastmail is similar (9 aud/user/month). Vaguely similar pricing to Google workspace.

This can add up quickly if you’re the kinda person who flings together an experimental site and lets it run its course. For example say 3 emails per site (info@, no-reply@, and your-name@) and 10 various small sites per year.. starts to add up.

Would be awesome if there were an alternative that you pay, say $10, and get as many email addresses as you can be bothered to set up.

I have absolutely no clue how the underlying economics of email services work, so I presume what I’m hoping for isn’t feasible.

They aren't that tightly coupled. The presumption of innocence is a pretty much universal legal concept. The right no remain silent is right specifically granted by law and not nearly as universal; the specifics of how and where you can invoke that right vary from country to country.
Iran invested all its resources into proxies waging wars for it. Them being smashed means Iran is ruined on all those war investments. With economy in shambles and expansionist war failed, it's hardly "least damaged".
This. Why do I even need ProductHunt these days? There’s already so many products already in the market that does any possible use case you can think of. There’s hardly anything new or innovative in there anymore. If there’s something truly innovative (or chatgpt), I would probably have heard of it from ppl already
I think the prospect of an impending SEC or other investigation is only one factor in stocks losing value.

They highlight inflated sales and financial irregularities like a chain of companies that engage in self-dealing, but are portrayed as independent to hide their real ownership, and so on.

If you believe what they say, your faith in the company is shaken because they're pulling a con job on you to invest in them and believe their story. If the SEC investigates that just supports the claim that it's a con.

If they don't investigate - for whatever reason - it doesn't mean that it's not a con and you won't lose all of your money believing it.

So a change in the regulatory environment is only one element.

For example, the Modhi/Adani thing is outside the reach of the SEC. And after watching a piece on it, apparently shorting it was amazingly tricky, and they had to go through some Singaporean markets to arrange a short position.
> We have examples like Elon who, through sheer force of will, defeats armies of people who don't care. For his many faults, you can't say the man doesn't care.

I fully expected that bit. Can't say I would agree in any way though. If anything, a perfect example of a person with way too much agency and executive power and way too little restraint and rationality. The perfect anti social candidate to not care but to want to appear to due to his own personal insecurities that the world now has to suffer for.

Cool article but the author seemed especially indignant that they have to use a wood stick to switch off hundred year old equipment or use a rotary phone. Was he expecting a smartphone app?

It's more of a testament to its durability, the phone works just as well nearly 60 years after it was installed.

Nothing like being trapped 40 feet underground with an Android phone that can't dial 911 properly, at least you can play sudoku as you await your demise.
For network receive, I was assuming kernel-bypass sockets, not kernel sockets.

`bytes` can give you "ring-buffer-like" one-copy kernel-socket receive by e.g. using the Buf as the target for scheduling io_uring read/recv into.

Also, RDMA is technically networking! (Though I think all the Rust RDMA libraries already provide ADTs that work like Buf/MutBuf, rather than just saying "here's some network-shared memory, build your own ADT on top.")

OK since no one else has said it yet, "according to a source familiar with the details"[1] (I know) Trump has basically told Netanyahu to agree to the ceasefire including the return of hostages. Then if they decide to break the ceasefire and go back to relentless bombings, Trump will still continue to support them.

So it could be a tactic to get Hamas to release whatever hostages are still alive, then get right back to the new status quo.

This actually makes perfect sense for Trump. He's only claimed to care about the Israeli hostages. I'm sure he feels great about taking credit for their return.

No, they're billing insurance companies that much. For-profit insurance companies are incentivized to drive up the cost of care because of the cap on their profit margins. More expensive care equals more profits as a bigger pie means a bigger profit even if the percentage remains the same.

Medicare's rates are about a half to a third of what private insurers have managed to negotiate. Funny how that works.

Doctors are not the problem with American health care, for-profit insurance is.

Correct. The author explains how both limited range and particles ability to have energy even at rest comes from "stiffness" (which is how he decided to call this parameter you talk about, in order to convey physics to laymen).
And the highlighted comment on that video (because it's got a lot of upvotes) is "Who's here because of Hindenburg?"...

I suppose all the research work, that comment, and the 750+ thumbs-ups, and my cynical meta-comment all brought value to the world. But I'm only sure of one of those things.

You still have millions of people in Gaza and Lebanon who got bombed by Israel. Whether it's the existing groups or new groups going forward, the grievances are still there and bigger than ever. Let's wait a few before we declare anything changed.
Good enough... seems almost too self explanatory. Its good enough! Great!
>"On paper potentially qualified" has meant nothing for a long time.

yeah, almost like we have a much too long process after the paper to determine if that paper lives up to its name.

Even then, what does that say about our society if our automatic assumption is that a job application and the resume submitted are all fake?

>And if truly acceptable candidates do show up, that scuttles the immigration application.

yes, that's the point. We can fine tune some things (someone already in the country and working hard shouldn't need to worry about losing their visa becuse a company found an American), but the overall point of this is to prioritize hiring domestic labor.

Indeed, there's much bias here in favor of the PRC for some reason.

The PRC bans tons of US websites and apps all the time, much more stringently than the US is doing, but people keep drawing these false equivalences regardless.

Unlike China's typical banning policy, the US isn't implementing a full website block, which means the app would continue to work for a while, and Americans would still be able to get to the website or get to the app if it's hosted on foreign servers. I see nothing about blocking Americans from getting to the content, only from hosting the content.

In contrast, China outright blocks its residents from even being able to get to Google or Facebook or the New York Times, period, even if they're hosted in another country. It's a full ban.

So the US is implementing a weaker ban with one website even as China has blocked thousands, but people are still freaking out.
