The version of C i'm talking about does exist -- its a common practice of contemporary large-scale C development, which largely neglects libc and runs everything in debuggers/memory-tooling with strict options.

You have also identified, as I have in my own comments, that some of my claims are as empirically difficult to verify.
Glad people like you can tell Europeans what free speech means. May I suggest you educate the likes of Elon Musk first? As he tends to take free speech that criticises him not very kindly. Particularly when it happens on Xitter.
It is OK to force corporations to provide the service that they were contracted to provide, yes. I think most right minded people would agree with that.
Yes. It’s still just an LLM and that means it can alter the meaning of entire passages in ways that are difficult to detect. This technology absolutely should not be used for OCR in domains where correctness matters.
Marvel's quality is varied and has dipped in the last couple of years. It's not high art by any means but I find calling it "drivel" in such a dismissive way to be a shallow take.

How do they know what roots look like?

As a hacker gardener it's incredibly hard to find information on root structures. The information doesn't really exist. There are cool physical cutouts and stuff to get you started past the school yard clichés but it's still complex [1]

Their picture of a 'tree' is obviously a seedling, I don't see seedlings having 'earthquake' issues. The root structure shown is definitely not representative of a tree which might be resistant to earthquakes... I guess.

Contrary to school pictures tree roots are wide and shallow.

do you have a better word to describe people who explain that they know every fork in the road that humanity has taken so far was the best choice?

Best they can do is point at our current existence -- something that individual forks may not have ever had the ability to change the outcome of.

I agree that 'moron' is a bad choice - this type of bad actor we're describing isn't as innocent as a moron.
Summarization can be okay when letting you know the general content of a longer document or conversation.

Summarization is universally disappointing when it tries to reduce a lot of different pieces of information (like answers to a lot of different questions) into a much smaller number of bullet points.

It’s simply not possible to compress a lot of disparate pieces of information into a much smaller set of sentences.
I have never understood why physicists get so hung up on the arrow of time and entropy.

If you have a casual system, then statistically, things will tend to become more disordered over time, because there are just more ways to be disordered than ordered.

Lots of clever people seem to agonise about this, but I don't see any problem. What am I missing?
I think both of those are resolved in GIMP 3. You can multi-select layers, and when you do it shows the total boundary for all selected layers. If you're willing to try it out, feel free to share if there are other issues you'd like us to look at!
Well yes, Amazon wants you to buy kindles.
Even the Marvel sequels are ending, they had to rehire a new cast to slash costs.
This is what you said:

> 95% of the supposed issues with C could be solved by a new standard library

But now you're saying this does actually exist, and the answer is actually "no standard library" and not a "new standard library."

Is this the same code responsible for all the memory safety CVEs we see?

And great job at plucking one pittance out of my comment and responding to it, while completely ignoring the more substantive critique of your inconsistent application of evidentiary standards in your commentary.

> You have also identified, as I have in my own comments, that some of my claims are as empirically difficult to verify.

The circumspection you describe here does not at all come across in your commentary. Your commentary does not read like it has appropriate circumspection. Instead, you just state things as if they are facts:

> 95% of the supposed issues with C could be solved by a new standard library, integrating the debugger into the compiler as the default build/run environment (with auto address sanitisation, frame protection, etc. etc.), and a default strict mode error checking.

There is no circumspection there. There is no expression of uncertainty. There is no admission that you lack "good evidential basis."

There's no concrete examples from you. No specific pointers to anything. Just made up statistics.
When someone gives this opinion, I think to myself they surely must be terrified of a stranger killing their wife with a rock (or merely desiring it themselves). How else can you excuse or explain such an impoverished imagination?

If you are actually looking for an answer and not simply to comfort yourself, I heartily recommend Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson.
White men in the U.S. have a hard time coming to grips with living in a society where women have sexual autonomy and where they are subjected to genuine competition for jobs. Every POC hire over a white man must be becuase of DEI!
Build-time modularity is a great balance between flexibility, installation simplicity, startup reliability, and binary size.

Look at all these comments put off at the idea that maybe the tiny annoyance of building the software to have the exact features you want is worth it for reducing deployment complexity. It's kinda sad actually, compiling software should not be so scary.

I have a more nuanced take on whether professional sports are actually a meritocracy. It depends on the level at which you look. Yes, in any given event it’s generally fair to say the rules are equitable. However, look at golf - we can either accept white people have some genetic advantage, or that access is not equal and the best talent never got a chance to develop. This could be extended to other leagues as well.

Do you see it differently?
The philosophical decision would have been (back in the day):

build an app that supports/enhances municipal cab systems, i.e. hailing, payment, licensing etc, breaking the monopolies of medallion aggregators etc

vs.

build an entirely different system without legislative safeguards that destroys the livelihoods of existing cabbies
For Many people on Hacker News, DEI has become synonymous with unqualification, implying that if a non‑white person works at a company, they're only there because of these programs, and are taking opportunities away from more qualified white men.

In their view, these employees don't truly deserve their positions.

Guest WiFi network isolation happens below the IP layer: you would use VLANs for that.

Which is sadly contrary to brutalism's aims, which don't require buildings to be a mid-gray (and dark gray/brown when rained on), but it's a principled consequence of the approach that raw concrete buildings look so fucking depressing.

If concrete were off-white in its natural form, brutalism would be radically different.

I have a heap of graphic novels I bought for my kids that are basically unusable because Amazon moved everything into Kindle and I couldn't have them in a separate comixology app for my kids anymore and Kindle doesn't allow me to curate family books for kids as I wish. Lesson learned. No more Kindle/comixology/audible purchases in this household. I considered breaking the DRM but we never bought into their readers.

I think hard copies (not from Amazon) are the only reasonable non-infringing option for book lovers. Returning to real libraries to supplement individual purchases lets you access more content for your money and buying a physical copy that might be read once or twice is unsustainable.

If you have to do digital I think piracy is becoming the only reasonable answer. I always thought it was immoral to deprive authors of income if you could afford to do the right thing but with AI companies like Meta downloading terabytes of copyright content for their own commercial gain why should the rest of us feel guilty downloading for personal use?
(And burn a tree in the process as compared to a human answer) Thanks for clarifying!
It is the US Government. Nobody has minded funding their schemes since 1970. They're going to keep borrowing until something so terrible happens that they literally cannot borrow any more. It is a bipartisan consensus position that spans multiple powerful governing ideologies.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis is much more likely to be using rhetoric than predicting how the situation will develop. If the Republicans as a party actually cared about the debt or intended to make meaningful improvements to the situation we'd have seen evidence of it in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s or 10s.

I'd love to be wrong, but there is pretty strong evidence here that they're going to tut-tut; maybe wag a finger or even in extreme situations someone will write a strongly worded letter. Then the government will borrow whatever they need to to pay for whatever hare-brained scheme is flavour of the month.
I don't think you can download ebooks from the Kindle store and transfer them to a Kobo unless they happen to be specifically DRM-free ebooks (which very few ebooks are, and basically none from the big publishing firms)? And even then a format conversion would be involved.

(If you mean transferring them to the Kindle reader, you can of course download the books directly on-device.)
A lot of it is quite beautiful.
Yeah. water.

I agree with your points, which I could summarize as "my 1) is very difficult".

May it be more accessible with mechanical systems instead of humans working outside of Earth?

Anyway, I hope you understand and agree with my main point: to continue economic growth in our biosphere will just destroy this biosphere, quicker than we realize.
Trump also ruled out plenty of (admittedly high risk) interventions and solutions before the negotiations.

Why would he make concessions for nothing in return? I thought he was meant to be a great negotiator and businessman.
Or it will meet the issues all "new development" projects meet and live through its first crises. Cause having new features comes at a cost, and people eventually grow tired of costs they can't just throw money at.

I'm at the character limit, so I'll take suggestions for a new title!

There's a lot of unique, interesting and useful features this offers, all of which are deserving of a spot in the title...

There is often an implied criticism of "if its not under active development for features, its not good" - which I don't agree with (and obviously neither do the VIM maintainers I think)

Maintenance mode is a good place to be IMO. I don't think anyone looking at a codebase with this maturity should feel "why aren't there significant new feature updates".

Wayland, ok I can see there are things which need 'bring into the modern era' but I don't think either Wayland, or XDG represents a massive about-face or fork moment. (I don't use graphically aided editors either vi or emacs, I live in terminal emulated space)

The moment of fear is when it ceases to be brought into current packaging by the distributions which re-factor it. I don't see any sign of that happening either.

Hi! Would you be willing to post more details on your drawing tablet (either here or on our issue tracker https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/activity). We've gotten a lot of reports that tablets have better support in 3.0, so if there's some regression we'd definitely like to get that fixed.

Are there specific areas of the UI that are less space efficient? One of the big changes was switching our GUI library to GTK3, which is suppose to scale better on HiDPI screens. But we had to recreate our theming system as a result, so if we need to tweak something we can try.

> they just trusted that supply and demand works…and were correct.

Except when they weren't, like the sibling comment about 2021 winter and all the hoopla over needing to force them to invest in winter proofing; after a winter failure which cause hundreds of deaths due to multiple days long power outages.

And the more current rolling blackouts during the summer that no one is happy about but have little to no recourse for. It's so much fun having to reset digital clocks on appliances every morning. Or, working late and the unexpected joy of having the power grid tell me it's time for bed because the power for the entire neighborhood, including street lights, will be off for the next 3-5 hours. Hope you have good battery powered fans on before you went to bed or enjoy waking up in a humid mess.
Why is this important?

No one can physically read too many books at once. Maintain your directory structure on your computer. The kindle isn't the place to build a library.
Texas is an especially interesting example you've chosen. For political reasons, people will often focus on the entire state due to its completely independent grid from surrounding states. Whether that tells the story you or I want to read or not, is something else entirely though.
I think the point is that a big bunch of studies really point to the fact that if you have two persons with a real merit score of 8/10 (for example), the one from a minority will be considered, due to unconscious biases, as having a score of 7/10 instead.

So, yes, there is a correction and this correction is based on race because this is the correct variable to de-bias the evaluation. But does it mean "preferential"? The point is to correct the evaluation such that this evaluation is not preferential and is neutral with respect to the race.
IPv6 is more like /64 is an IP. Most ISP assign a /56 or /60 to the customer, you can just disregard all the other bits and basically have something like an IPv4 equivalent.
They're light gray when dry and dark gray/brown when wet. Their lack of colour feels dreary and oppressive. I like the form of quite a few brutalist buildings, but the grayness of them feels like a neverending cloudy afternoon.
Surely all cryptocurrencies are memecoins. There's very little debt in these things, so that it isn't a source of value, and there are many popular systems, from Bitcoin to Ethereum, so isn't any that can be said to be somehow special.
Chances are very good.
In practice, that makes the entire network vulnerable.
I posted it already in this discussion, but [1] shows a power outage once a year or more is typical in Italy.

People in France, South Korea, Switzerland and the United Kingdom can go 5 or more years between power outages.

Solution of a problem starts from stating and understanding of the problem. The DEI statement and understanding of the problem was alike USSR’s “we have too many Jews in the University” and thus similar result.
Emojis are underutilized in so many ways. THis is a fun way. Are there other ways? Sure. This is one of them.
Yep. It's not that text editing changed much since <yearnumber>. And the more years passed, the less there is to "feature". Projects with constant new features after many years of development demonstrably don't know what they need and how to let themselves pause and reflect.

are you saying that white people are inherently more qualified than anybody else .
To the people defending the reduction in Google's DEI program, I want to tell you that you are missing the point.

For some reason, they think DEI means some unqualified woman or minority is taking the position over someone more qualified. That is not the case.

DEI was created because corporate leadership structures were "the good old boys club" where less qualified people were hired because they knew someone or were related to someone in the company over a more qualified candidate.

Still today, qualified job candidates do not get calls back because their name sounds foreign. [1, 2]

There are many reasons why qualified candidates cannot even get into the interview process.

> a SAN certificate is out because of certificate transparency logs

First, all these certificates in the web PKI have SANs in them. X509 was designed for the X500 directory system, so when Netscape repurposed it for their SSL technology they initially used the arbitrary text fields and just wrote DNS names in as text. There are a number of reasons that's a terrible idea, but PKIX, RFC 2459 and its successors, defines a specific OID for "Subject Alternative Names". The word "alternative" here refers to the Internet's names (DNS names and IP addresses) being an alternative to the X500 directory system. PKIX says the legacy names should be phased out and everybody should use SANs.

That rule (you must use SANs in new certificates) was baked into the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements (CA/B BRs or just "BRs" typically) which set the rules for certificates that will actually work in your web browser and thus in practice all the certificates people actually use. Enforcement of this rule was spotty for some time but the advent of CT logging made it possible to immediately spot any cert which violates the rule and so some years ago Google's Chome began to just reject the "legacy" just write it in a text field and hope approach and other browsers followed.

So what you're actually talking about are certificates with two or more specific DNS names rather than a single wildcard.

Secondly though, that's usually all a waste of your time if you're trying to mask the existence of named end points because of Passive DNS. A bunch of providers sell both live and historical feeds of DNS questions and answers. Who asked is not available, so this isn't PII, but if I'm wondering about your "sensitive" names at example.com I can easily ask a Passive DNS service, "Hey, other than www.example.com what else gets asked in similar DNS queries?" and get answers like "mysql.example.com" and "new-product-test.example.com".

Passive DNS isn't free, but then squirrelling away the entire CT log feed isn't free either, it's served free of charge on a small scale, but if you bang on crt.sh hard you'll get turned off.
