Including statements on diversity, and defunding projects because they have diversity are two very different things.

And yeah, as a white male who sees few women, and even fewer people from minorities other than Chinese and Indian, in the hard sciences (especially computer related), I definitely support efforts to try to include them more. It results in more diverse views of a problem, which often leads to better science.

The construction metaphor isn't a very good fit here in my opinion.
No building is expected to have the amount of adaptability that is expected of software. It falls completely apart for interpreted languages. When is a PHP app constructed in this metaphor? On every single request? The metaphor assumes a "design once, build once" approach, which is basically no software I've ever seen used in real life. Hardware, OS, language, collaborator/dependency updates all require changes to the application code more often than not. And that's assuming the feature set stays stable, which, in my experience is also quiet rare.
Maintainability is therefore a quality dimension of software, and reduced cognitive load usually results in increased maintainability (curious if someone has a counterexample to that)

That is not to say I'm one of those people who need a specific code style to have their weird brain satisfied. But not using a linter/autoformatter at all [when available] in 2025 sounds like the opposite of "work smart, not hard"
> Go enums are the same as in every single other language. After all, all an enum does is count. There isn't anything more you can do with it.

You may want to meet a modern language one day. Or hell not even a modern language, even a shit one like Java.

As it turns out there are languages where you can define an

enum foo { bar, baz }

and when you type a parameter as a `foo` you're not at risk of getting 69 or 4328.

I asked this elsewhere, but, I don't fully understand the reason for the critical GPU shortage.

Isn't it because NVIDIA insists on only using the latest nodes from a single company (TSMC) for manufacture?

I don't understand why we can't use older process nodes to boost overall GPU making capacity.

Can't we have tiers of GPU availability some on cutting edge nodes, others built on older Intel and Samsung nodes?

Why is Nvidia not diversifying aggressively to Samsung and Intel no matter the process node.

Can someone explain?

I've heard packaging is also a concern, but can't you get Intel to figure that out with a large enough commitment?

(Also, I know NVIDIA has some capacity on Samsung. But why not go all out, even using Global Foundries?)

I'm another Mint user.

IIRC it was when an Ubuntu update pushed the Unity DE on me that I abandoned it. And that would have been back in like 2012 or 2013 ish.

The reason I use Linux in the first place is because I know what I'm going to get. There may be a few UI tweaks between Mint MATE versions, but there's rarely breaking changes that completely and fundamentally alter the way that I'm meant to be interacting with my machine. As an end user I want stability in all things. Don't move menus or change keyboard shortcuts (and especially don't change the entire freakin' DE) without making a massive fuss that this "upgrade" might not be for all users with an option to .

In any case, Mint MATE gives me the compromise that I want between a smooth and "pretty" user interface that looks relatively modern without being a heavy resource hog like other DEs that strive for that (cough KDE cough).
From an absolute financial standpoint it might be hard to justify eggs from backyard chickens, though once you realize that they can eat something like 25% of their feed can be grass or clippings, and that some percentage can be redirected household waste (think: peels, food waste, etc) it becomes much more favorable.

As you mentioned, most treat them like pets which means they get to learn how long-lived chickens can be, and how egg production levels off in the later years.

But even then, if you're buying less than half the feed needed, you can probably break even for quite awhile (especially now).
Heads would roll. Literally.

Real pasture raised eggs do taste better. I believe this is because the chicken get to eat bugs - store bought eggs that advertise "fed an all vegetarian diet" taste worse than regular store bought - though both are bad. (taste is of course subjective). Most store bought pasture raised eggs taste just like any other store bought egg - sure the chickens get to pasture but there are too many for them to get enough bugs in their diet.

The messages from PayPal usually do include that sort of "message from seller". The phishers word these to deliberately exploit the issue.

The last time I received a message like this it included this message:
"Note from [Fraudulent Seller]:
Fraud Alert: Didn't make this order? Call at [Fraudulent 800 number]"

And also the message:
"Don't recognize this request? Before paying, make sure you recognize this person. Don't engage with this request if you're unsure about it. PayPal won't contact you through a money request."

But, it did come legitimately from service@paypal.com, and was almost certainly the type of issue OP is describing. I'm not sure PayPal can do anything here but rephrase money requests or invoices as "potential" if they don't come from a contact known to the account. (It'd be cool if they did that.)

A surprisingly large amount of the United States' crop yield comes from rain falling on non-irrigated fields (85%). Our biggest crop is corn, and corn is very water-sensitive at specific points in its growth.

There is no infrastructure to protect there – only infrastructure to build (irrigation), for better resiliency.
It's faster because there are only a constant number of other faces in a given cell to check to find where the ray exits. Then you can just traverse from cell to cell in this way, without using hierarchical bounding box checks like you normally would.

I found this article today in the CBC about why Canada's egg prices have remained reasonable while the neighbouring US has gone crazy interesting: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/egg-prices-avian-flu-canada-u...

TLDR: 1) we still have a bird flu problem, but have smaller flocks in the farms, so the impact of having to do a cull is far far less and

2) we have supply-management for poultry and eggs and dairy (basically a form of central economic planning around a quota system) ... which in good times is a rip-off for consumers [and some farmers] but in bad times... turns out to provide some value (which is why it was rolled out in the first place)
I can't imagine a scenario where pre-training on someone else's works is fair-use, but distilling from a proprietary LLM isn't.

Are you serious? This is HN, so it's reasonable to assume that there are people here (obviously not you) who know the project and can answer questions about it quickly. After all, the project author has even set up a dedicated website and is asking for support for his project. It should be in his and the other project contributors' interest to communicate the advantages of the project to people on their own initiative. I don't consider it my job to analyze the source code to find out for myself. I'm very interested in lean operating systems, especially for embedded SMP systems, but my time is limited.

> You may want to meet a modern language one day.

Like what? CrabLang? Its enums are identical to Go, unsurprisingly. Above the enum rests a discriminated union that ends up hiding the details of the enum. That is where things begin to differ greatly. You have to do some real trickery to actually get at the underlying enum result in that language. But, when you do, you see that it is exactly the same.

> and when you type a parameter as a `foo` you're not at risk of getting 69 or 4328.

That's thanks to the type system, though, not enums. Enums are not a type. Enums are a number generator. Hence the name.
Construction and civil engineering have been unable to agree on global conventions and standards, and they have a multi-millenia head start over software engineering. The US may claim to follow the "International Building Code", but it's just called that because a couple of small countries on the Americas have adopted it. For all intents and purposes it's a national standard. Globally we can't even agree on a system of units and measurements, never mind anything more consequential than that.

But only laminated glass can completely block UVA. UVA can pass through other glass used in car, house and office windows and cause skin damage, increasing the risk of cancer.

A car’s front windscreen lets in lots of sunshine and light. Luckily it blocks 98% of UVA radiation because it is made of two layers of laminated glass.

Is the contract referenced the one between the FAA and RVA or the contract between RVA and the existing controllers?

Is this just RVA trying to lowball controllers? I can't imagine their contract with the FAA specify the maximum amount they would pay their own controllers.

Frankly, if RVA can't fulfill their contract, then they should be penalized and have their contracts stripped. Given the contract is for several hundred million dollars and multiple airports, I imagine they'll figure out a way to add a housing stipend back in.
At least RCS is an attempt at being a cross platform
standard, even if it still sucks.

The E2EE part, which does not exist in the RCS standard itself, is a proprietary Google thing with keys managed by Google. It is not open, and opening it is not trivial because somebody has to be an authoritative key source etc.

If not for that part I'd agree with you.

Best option is to just use a different app that just works
on all platforms. No RCS, no iMessage.

Well, I think there's obviously a huge place for these apps and there always has been. There is certainly nothing stopping you and your buddies from all standardizing on Signal, Telegram, or uh.... buying the rights to ICQ and resurrecting that or whatever.

The value of iMessage/RCS/SMS is that it is effectively universal. I just need somebody's mobile number and I can call or text them. They are (more or less) guaranteed to be able to receive that call or text. I can buy the most advanced iPhone or Pixel and I can send a text message to some dude on a 2001 flip phone in a jungle somewhere. That is a huge huge huge value.

No true Scotsman or appeal to purity is an informal fallacy in which one modifies a prior claim in response to a counterexample by asserting the counterexample is excluded by definition. Rather than admitting error or providing evidence to disprove the counterexample, the original claim is changed by using a non-substantive modifier such as "true", "pure", "genuine", "authentic", "real", or other similar terms.

Sure. My point is, what optimizes for average production and profits doesn't necessarily optimize for worst case production and profits. There is a level of care that doesn't pay off most of the time.
> I once heard an anecdote that being a welder makes you look at metal objects differently than non-welders. What a non-welder sees as rigid and inflexible a welder sees as able to be changed.

Was it this one?

“One of the unexpected things about watching the steel guys work is how the solidity of metal means nothing to them. Most people think of metal as something hard and inflexible, but welders don't. Which should be obvious in hindsight, I guess. But, for example, they have these saw-horses that are made of tube steel. And I can see how that came about: they needed some saw-horses; they had some steel. It took them 30 seconds to make them. And, an example with the stairs: the legs of the stairs' landing platform have big threaded bolts for feet, to fine-tune the height of the legs for levelling. And there are these steel tube sleeves that go around the legs, that drop down and cover the bolts. So when they were moving this platform in, they had to flip it over, and they didn't want the sleeves to fall off while they did this. Now to me, that job calls for duct tape. To them: they welded the sleeves in place, then de-welded them when they needed them to move again.”

This is a weird way to think about it. You are basically saying a company should not launch something exclusive to their platform or ecosystem, but rather should consider launch a generic product compatible with everything out there. Why would they ? How will they stand different if everyone does that ?

Exclusivity is a basic part of business model. Look at PS4 with exclusive titles. Hell, look at your local store with exclusive products only available in their stores.

I would have agreed with you if Apple had done this for a basic feature like calling. But this sure is a privileged feature and there is nothing wrong in making it exclusive to iPhone (but they haven't you see).

Is a relative statement. Someone who expresses anger in one culture can be considered thoughtful and in another culture can be considered disrespectful.

I agree it's super complex and even believe that it may have been too formulated and structured. I personally want humans of different cultures to befriend each other. But intercultural connection can be uncomfortable and hard and have lots of conflict, and some people don't do that well without some nudging.

Again, I think the nudging has gone too far, yet I don't think the solution is to pendulum swing all the way back.
