> Every browser supports CMYK color encoding/space…

You have an unusual definition of "support". You can't specify colors in CMYK, there's no such thing as a CMYK <canvas>, etc.

Sure, you may get a rectangle with an image when you view a CMYK JPEG, but that's an unintended, virtually untested consequence of the bundled or OS media decoder associated with the file type.
Great idea, will research it!
Not in my experience. It might run as a mysql user but I can't remember having su:d to it. Maybe you can give some examples of administration that require you to?

Collations and charsets and the DB engine and other stuff wasn't particularly good either, but I can't be arsed to figure out specifically when so I glossed over the details. I don't think it matters. 8 is what, a decade old or so?

Haven't run into that yet, but can imagine that it gets worse if your devenv is large.

I'm sure it's something that can be engineered away and optimized in the Nix core though. Because yeah it isn't a hyperspecialized tool for specifically git hooks alone written in Rust. No.

It's not a saw nor a hammer. It's an entire workshop.

Flakes are less of a workshop, but more like a bus with tools or a heavy-duty toolbox.
Amazon's ecosystem. Every major publisher is on the kindle store and it's pretty much the first place any indie author self-publishes to. Kindle Unlimited has a pretty good selection of stuff for a flat subscription and (at least in the US) you can borrow e-books from your local library through libby and access them on the kindle.

The simplicity of it makes it really appealing to users who just want to read books and not think too much about it. Android e-readers also tend to have far worse battery life and higher-friction integration with the ecosystem.
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death and causes ~20% of all global deaths.

Research into quite literally anything that might give additional help to treating it is so obviously one of the most beneficial things we could be doing in terms of medical research that reading your post sounds completely foreign to me.

-------

Many cases of sepsis are relatively predictable in that they already know that this person is at high risk of it due to their condition or the type of intervention that's going to be required for their condition.

We're just not that great at stopping it from occurring with the tools currently available - antibiotics are not sufficient to solve/prevent it like you seem to think they are, or there'd be a lot less people dying of it.

-----

Presumably, if this research panned out in many additional trials, it's something that might be added to treatment protocols.

Even if it turned out to be useful but had limitations like being needed to be administered days in advance - there would still be significant utility for a lot of medically necessary but not immediate high-risk surgeries.
Social Security is incredibly complicated. There’s a canonical answer to every question. Someone like Elon doesn’t know or care about the details.

There’s also a number of programs. SSI, Disabilty, Death Benefits, retirement, etc. Blind people are eligible for a benefit by law.

Is there, somewhere in the United States, a disabled, blind child whose parents are deceased and whose birthdate is unknown? Almost certainly yes.

Is that fraud? Only if you’re a “genius” who targets victims who can’t fight back to demonstrate his intellect.
I find that I have to argue a lot for making systems where humans are allowed to be human and not burn the house down.

Operationally, people gravitate toward trying to treat the humans as machines.

We have machines for that.

The point of the article is to show building a calculator requires a CAS, which should have been obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of how a calculator works.

The premise of the article is itself somewhat bogus, but I suppose there are programmers today who never had to work with a graphing calculator.

While RRA is an interesting approach, ultimately it wasn't sufficient.

Re-using an off-the-shelf CAS would have been the more practical solution, avoiding all the extra R&D on a novel number representation that wasn't quite sufficient to do the job.

1. Those methods are coarse. The interpolation they provide is worse than what a PINN provides, meaning that equivalently performing PINNs (compard to coarse numerical methods) can easily and cheaply serve as better initializations for your finer numerical methods.

2. Go back to (1) from my previous message. For some intuition, fiddly solutions take a long time to optimize. Your only options (aside from spending more time and money) are tailoring the initial conditions and the algorithm for your particular problem. You see that a lot in, e.g., 1-3 atom quantum chemistry, where a good choice of basis functions is worth several papers. A neural network allows you to automagically bake everything that's hard about your problem into the training step and amortize those hard calculations across many experiments. It's not superior to enough man-centuries of human intuition, but it's dead simple to deploy, and for those sorts of hard problems it definitely beats a single human century of effort. Once you have a neural network output, the problem is well conditioned and suitable for refinement by a classical solver.

For a somewhat concrete example, imagine a problem where the space is largely uninteresting but there are a few tight swirls here and there. Coarse numerical methods can't really do anything with those. Adaptive-precision numerical methods can, but they're slow, and you have to re-run an intensive solving step for every new input. The PINN solution bakes everything that's hard about that into the neural net structure, and it solution will have approximately the right swirls in approximately the right places. If you want to refine them further, the fact that your solver doesn't have to dynamically handle resolution anymore and doesn't have to deal with any major phase shifts makes it much easier to iterate on via the normal classical methods.
> if a device on the WAN side sends to your router a packet with destination address on the LAN side

This can happen only if the device is directly attached to the NAT server. Basically, only your ISP can do that.

Most NAT servers by default also prohibit this kind of routing (because why even allow it?!?), but even the most misconfigured bad NAT server is still vulnerable only if you control the ISP, in practice.
No, that's a bummer. It's a shame to see a proven system with big local benefits falling by the wayside.

Bryce Bostwick does super cool & inspiring work on debugging and reverse-engineering apps. I found him on YouTube; His video on modding TikTok to only show cat videos (https://youtu.be/YW3jL2gI9IE) inspired me to mod Instagram to remove everything except the message feature, which is the only part I use. I've been meaning to get more into modding & reverse engineering–specifically modding Windows in the style of Windhawk (https://windhawk.net/). Bryce gives a great intro to doing that sort of thing on iOS with live, step-by-step videos.
> Uber requires that your vehicle be less than 10 years old and in good condition as well as pass an inspection from a licensed mechanic.

Uber requires that your vehicle be less than 16 years old:

https://www.uber.com/us/en/drive/requirements/vehicle-requir...

Plenty of 10-16 year old vehicles are in good condition and will pass an inspection.

You can keep a vehicle in good condition indefinitely because vehicles are made of modular parts and parts can be replaced as they wear out. Whether this is worth doing depends on the expected frequency of future repairs, which in turn depends on the specific make and model (there's a reason the most common ride sharing car is a Prius), how well the car is maintained and how stupid you drive it, but most cars continue to be worth maintaining rather than scrapping until they're 20-25 years old. Which is why the average age of vehicles on the road is just over 12 years, implying that they last approximately twice that long.

Meta's new ad for Horizon Worlds
Now I'm curious what the biggest fraud in history actually is!
I'm not trying to dismiss her opinion. I'm surprised to one day read her essays and watch some talks, and now suddenly discover she's became another YouTube influencer.

It would be merely off-putting if it was tacked onto a video about hard, verifiable facts - but to make a video that explicitly asks the audience to trust her on her world, and then end it by saying the video itself was sponsored by a company? Surely she's aware of the optics? Even the regular YouTube influencers usually know better and skip the sponsorship section when making a complaint video.

I'm also not committing an ad hominem here (if anything, maybe some adjacent fallacy). This is the lens through which I view all YouTube channels, and it applies here, and doubly so given that this is not a video about independently verifiable facts - it's all based about an e-mail she claims she received, and she acknowledges that directly. We have to trust her at her word.

Now, I don't know about you, but if someone in one moment tells me some information, and then in the next moment starts giving me "capitalist brand advertisement speak" about some dubious product, I'm going to take it as a sign that someone doesn't actually care about my well-being, as manipulating someone into a bad deal for profit is plain malice[0]. Additionally, I might question that person's integrity - depending on obviously they're knowingly pushing a bad product, or how indifferent they are to what they're promoting. Which, in turn, will make me question everything they just told me before - after all, if they just demonstrated they're fine with lies or bullshit now, why should I assume they held themselves to the highest standards of scientific and personal truth moments before?

I'm honestly done complaining over YouTube creators; I just accepted that many of the well-known pop-sci channels turned into content marketing schemes. At least I stopped being surprised by exaggerations and inaccuracies in the main parts. I commented this time only because I totally didn't expect to see a reputable scientist doing this kind of stuff.

[0] - Yes, I stand firm on this, and yes, if you scale this view up, you end up considering the entire field of "marketing communication" (covering a subset of intersection of sales, marketing and advertising) as a cancer on modern society. I wrote an article about this some time ago, which I've been told has apparently popped up on HN last week.
HR22, the "SAVE act" is removing the birth certificate from viable documents for millions of people who have changed their names. If the person who changed their name does not get an updated birth certificate (most don't, like women after they marry and take their husbands last name), then they can no longer vote. This is many millions of regular naturally born citizens in the US.

Why am I being judged by a low effort reply when even OP didn't care to tell us in detail why "Milei helping the economy is far from the truth". Such stupidity should only be answered with another low effort statement. It doesn't care where you are in the political spectrum, objectively Milei is annihilating inflation, we have primary superavit, lowered state expenses among other fantastic things he did for our country and we are doing great, a lot more is needed but we have 3 more years ahead. Saying he's not helping the economy can only be justified by not living here and having no fucking idea how we are doing. I live here, so I can tell you we are doing FAR better than a year ago.
There obviously was a misconception as evidenced in the link I provided. But believe what you wish.
Yeah, tech debt sucks a lot.
I think it it's because there are too many subsystems involved in sleep/resume all being worked on as independent projects (kernel, drivers which sometimes have both kernel and user space components, init system, display server, desktop environment, probably others I'm not aware of). That said, I've had my share of sleep issues on Windows as well over the years, I suspect for the same reasons.
"It's a useless genre"

Today, sure. It wasn't always. Alternative in the 80s was pretty much "rock, but too weird and smart to be played on the AOR/classic rock stations, and not on a major label". That might sound like "dumping ground" as you described, but it wasn't really -- it was a fairly coherent genre for a while, until everything started being called alternative if it wasn't pop or mainstream hard rock, etc.

Classic rock stations would play Guns 'n Roses, Def Leppard, but not R.E.M. or Concrete Blonde, and certainly not Rollins Band, for instance. There were no alternative rock stations, at least in/around St. Louis, excepting the college station (KDHX, 88.1).

Legit alternative: R.E.M., Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians, The Replacements, The Smithereens, The Smiths, B52s, XTC, Concrete Blonde, Echo & The Bunnymen, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr, plenty of others. In the late 80s and early 90s, after R.E.M. and others had commercial breakouts, the genre was muddied beyond recognition. Especially with the advent of grunge and more accessible industrial music like NIN.
Come on to a brownfield project and ask a lot of pointed questions about how we got here.
Show HN: Pushpin, an iOS client for Pinboard, is now open source
Just wanted to share that I just open-sourced Pushpin today under the GPLv3 license.

I've been building it since 2012 and it's become one of the most popular iOS clients for Pinboard [0] [1] [2].

It hasn't gotten a large update in quite a while, but it still runs perfectly on the latest iOS and iPad OS devices. Enjoy!

They simply don't work as well as non-web apps. People continue to insist that they do, but from my experience, they just don't have the same smoothness as a native app to show that it's not a web app.
> You can find ways to dismiss opinions you don't like, but targeting individual contributors that use sponsorships to maintain or alleviate financial stability is an interesting attack.

> Just a literal ad hominem?

I do not read what in the comment as an attack, but an outsider to the field trying to judge the opinion they are absorbing.

Some people are going to expect an experts to have an outside money stream that comes from their expertise so in video adds are not necessary. That is not a heuristic that is going to be right 100% of the time, but is is not the worst heuristic or an attack.
This space is problematic enough that you could reliably segfault 2017-2019 Intel MacBooks by closing the lid before unplugging HID peripherals, preventing suspend (and cooking it in your bag on the commute home).

It also plagues Windows on custom PC builds, even when there are vendor drivers. Not every component plays nicely with suspend states, ASPM, C-sates, load line calibration, etc. And while often the capability exists natively to address issues (in BIOS, Linux, etc), how many people know how to start looking?

Another episode from Odd Lots, "Why Corporate America Still Runs on Ancient Software That Breaks", with Patrick McKenzie (patio11 here at HN):

> Southwest Airlines had a disastrous holiday season, thanks in part to a software bug that left crews out of place and grounded thousands of flights. But Southwest isn't alone in having software in the headlines lately. The New York Stock Exchange recently had a software error that caused weird pricing on stocks and the FAA had its own computer issue that grounded planes earlier this month. So what's the deal with corporate software? Why do these crashes happen? And why does the user experience typically leave something to be desired? On this episode of the podcast we speak with Patrick McKenzie, an expert on engineering and infrastructure, who writes the Bits About Money newsletter and recently left payments company Stripe after six years. We talked about the challenges of keeping any software system alive after years of upgrades and updates, the distribution of tech talent across industries, and whether non-tech companies can close the gap with Silicon Valley.

> Your money is being spent without your say on services you don't benefit from.

I don't mind strangers benefitting from my tax dollars. No where do I even imply this, so this idea is completely coming from your own preconceived ideas about those who disagree with you. The problem with this case is that I'm not sure anyone is benefiting from these tax dollars. These men aren't asking for help. They're being pressured into accepting help. Someone resourceful enough to trap racoons isn't fundamentally so helpless that they require 7 months of handholding to apply for temporary housing. He required 7 months because that wasn't something he was interested in the first place but is willing to occasionally humor a pretty ranger. She would have much more success meeting them where they're at. For example, she can set up an arrangement where the rangers will stop harassing the campers and tearing down their encampments if they keep the surroundings clean.

> What you're describing is triage, not housing the homeless

Yes, I'm talking about triage because that's exactly what the ranger is doing.
> the per-function-call overhead is due to dynamic initialization on first use requirement

Thanks - I didn’t realize this was mandated by the standard as opposed to “permitted” as one possibility (similarly to how eg a constructor of a global variable can be called before main or upon first use or anywhere in-between according to the standard). Updated the post with this point

> The desired efficient GOTTPOFF code sequence is only feasible when the shared object is available at program start, in which case you can guarantee that “you would need the TLS areas of all the shared libraries to be allocated contiguously”

Indeed I didn’t mention -ftls-model=initial-exec originally (I now added it based on reader feedback; it can work when it will work, which for my use case is a toss-up I guess…), but my point is that you could allocate the TLSes contiguously even if dlopen was used, and I describe how you could do it in the post, albeit in a somewhat hand-wavy way. This is totally not how things were done and I presume one reason is that you don’t carve out chunks of the address space for a use case like this as described in my approach - I just think it would be nice if things worked that way.
Woman who had pioneering cancer treatment 18 years ago still in remission
With modern package managers you can just generate your SBOM out of your lock file and call it a day. That misses dependencies that cross language boundaries, but it gets you 98% there for 10% of the effort. But what if you are writing C++, where it's the norm for libraries to vendor their dependencies, with no way to automatically detect them?

Sure, that is an opportunity for middleman to sell SBOM databases. But I could equally well see large c++ projects selling a subscription that offers an SBOM for each release, along with a couple bullet points to pad the offer (phone support, priority for feature requests and bug reports, early testing for new releases, etc).

Similar to how every SaaS has an Enterprise plan that is ridiculously expensive because big companies will pay anything to get SSO and an audit trail. And the provider adds a couple more enterprise features so nobody has to justify why they pay 5x the regular price just to get those two features. Same, idea, but with companies paying $100/month to get an SBOM and nice-to-haves for software they could get for free
It's all fun and games until eye̶s̶o̶m̶e̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶l̶o̶s̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶ management demands some new feature and refuses to understand why it would take so long to implement it on such a stable and well-established p̶i̶e̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶p̶ project.
There has, apparently, been some research on this, but (IANADoctor) it doesn't look conclusive.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6330042/ did mouse trials of fluoxetine and then checked the gut microbiome; they did find some changes in groups known to correlate with regulation of body mass. But, this is (a) mouse models and (b) a long string of correlations with (to my knowledge) no actual causal understanding.
When combined with direnv, the nix portion is almost entirely cached, so there's nothing to make it slow. I use pre-commit hooks via devShell in many projects, and they're nearly instant. The only exception is when the hook itself is slow.
