That's because Linux is remarkably bad at backward compatibility rather than Windows being remarkably good at it. FreeBSD's stable ABI is if anything better than PE+Wine.

Unregulated means that it isn't presented to the regulating authorities, not only is it not submitted for approval to the SEC or the Argentina equivalent (CNV), but it wasn't even submitted for chartering as an LLC (SRL) or Corp (SA) in any Argentina Jurisdiction.

The author of that has been at the sharp end and has been a senior commander.

There are two kinds of expected disobedience to orders in the US military. One is disobeying an illegal order, such as one to shoot prisoners. The other is doing what needs to be done to accomplish the mission despite conflicting orders. The second is why military orders have a "Commander's Intent" section. If the situation on the ground is not what was expected when the order was give, officers are expected to adapt to the new situation and overcome problems. Here's Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley writing about that back in 2017.[1] That was not about the moral issue, but the operational issues when command is messed up.

Milley faced the moral issue when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and Trump lost the election.

Here's the US officer's oath:

"I ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

German military oath, before Hitler:

"I swear by God this holy oath,
that I want to ever loyally and sincerely serve my people and fatherland
and be prepared as a brave and obedient soldier
to risk my life for this oath at any time."

After Hitler:

"I swear by God this holy oath
that I shall render unconditional obedience
to the Leader of the German Reich and people,
Adolf Hitler, supreme commander of the armed forces,
and that as a brave soldier I shall at all times be prepared
to give my life for this oath."

This feels true for other Microsoft products, but not VSCode. Besides, they embedded Python into Excel (for 365 users) over Typescript or C#.
Right, a little bit different. If only she instead hired randos without security clearance and gave them full access to systems containing classified info. Now that would have been no problem.
I’m absolutely not a Kubernetes lover. Bash and Andible etc. is just a very common suggestion from haters.

I thought Mesos was kinda dead nowadays, good to hear it’s still kicking. Last time I used it it the networking was a bit annoying, not able to provide virtual network interfaces but only ports.

It seems like if you are going to operate these things, picking a solution with a huge community and in active development feels like the smart thing to do.

Nomad is very nice to use from a developer perspective, and it’s nice to hear infrastructure people preferring it. From outside the reason people pick Kubernetes seems to be the level of control of infra and security teams want over things like networking and disk.
The same is true with San Francisco, even if it isn’t as big. We could cherry pick compare the best neighborhood of Mexico City against the worst neighborhood of SF to falsify a claim that Mexico City is safer than San Francisco.
> When trying to get from point A to point B, there is a clear, well defined goal.

In programming, you also go from point A (requirements analysis phase) to point B (shipping the product). The only difference is that you may face multiple paths leading to point B.
Hi Matt! I did something similar for https://sweetspots.fr/ it would get updated every week and was very helpful for discovering cities.

I stopped maintaining the project 1 year ago so the list are getting stale now but it was fun while it lasted. Glad to see someone else look into this!
> What if I told you that Microsoft already had an operating system that did all the things you are trying to do, and it’s fully debugged, with video drivers, a graphics library, a dialog manager, a scheduler, a protected mode manager, and input methods. And it has a fully staffed support team.

I thought this was going a different place. Surely if you want to run an operating system, running Windows 95 itself would make more sense - then you could e.g. use the same drivers for setup that you're going to use in the real system.
Monitors also display things differently. We once had a designer with a high-end Mac who liked to use light gray font on a white background. I never understood why he did that - it was barely visible. Then I looked at his monitor, and everything was crisp.
Can’t wait for Musk’s team to finally peel back these layers, realize that the code actually implemented the laws, and have to admit they are the idiots and apologize for wasting the government’s money on a poorly-run audit.

JDBC is not a protocol, JDBC is an API, hence the need for a different JDBC driver per RDBMS. I doubt the author is a developer, I see this misunderstanding often with architects who don’t code.
Ok what was the point of that? It just needlessly degrades an otherwise informative post.

Sure, and all cities of all sizes have crime hotspots, but even the rich transplant epicenter, Roma, has a crime rate of about 8 per 100 [1]. That’s well above the SF average, which itself is skewed by a few high-crime outliers like the Tenderloin.

> did we default? No, and we won’t now

I agree that default is a remote possibility. But the reason isn't Congressional Republicans will avoid shooting themselves in the foot.
What you're describing is universal healthcare being cheaper in the long term, which I would agree with. What is described in this article absolutely does not sound like a productive use of taxpayer money at all. Any one of the ranger's clients that gets semi-permanent shelter is someone else who doesn't. At best, we're pay a full-time salary for someone to play a zero sum game. IMO, it's actually worse than that because such housing is more efficiently allocated to those who are able and willing to navigate the bureaucracy of public housing themselves are more likely to rebound successfully.
It's supposed to go wrong. Government isn't worth anything. Once they "prove" had bad it is, they will bring in corporations that will do it, and they will be able to do it for a profit without having to deal with all those pesky rules that keep us safe.
The necessity for delicately traversing the path to a solution that's more long-term sustainable than that which already exists seems to be something that DOGE is entirely incapable of.

Musk seems to want things to scale; fewer people to achieve more productivity. People that already fall through the cracks aren't going to suddenly find themselves better off via a system that scales better, because better scaling actually creates wider cracks.

The median flows better, at the cost of the fringes.

Your comments regarding Japan are interesting. Japan's definitely an interesting example to use due to the odd, unenviable economic situation, but that makes your point stand out more rather than less, I think.
Actually, you can usually get a lot of help if you show up in person at a major company site and politely ask.

Nobody really wants to call the security/police on a random guy, especially if he is not a complete weirdo.
I’m just not convinced homeless drug addicts are on the street because they’re shy of a house payment. The ones I’ve know have wound up there because they became drug addicts, and that addiction drove them into the abyss, exploiting family and friends and every relationship until they’re under a bridge.

We’ve spent billions and billions on the “homes are the solution to homelessness” crowd. And the problem has only grown worse.

you could also update the HN submission title, technically...
> All this was stored on paper

Rather, as also mentioned in the answers, on Hollerith cards, 5-digit encoded (2 for the year, 3 for the day of year). Punch-card appliances were very much a thing. (WWII logistics were run by punch-cards.)
Ask HN: What would you do with $1000 in AI credits
You just received $10000 in AI credits. You can use them against the current offerings from OpenAI/Anthropic. They expire in 24 hours and you have 2 hours to spend on any pre-work. You cannot use these credits for your work/job.

What would you use them for? How would you maximize the return from the AI credits?

Ignore things like rate-limits.

Would you use them for charitable uses?
They only say that because that’s what most of the Canadians think as well. Even the Conservative Party is trying to pretend to not like Trump now.

That's the thing - if the balls don't start clustered, then you "lose" the time direction again; now it doesn't matter which way you replay the trajectories, they are equally plausible in either direction. So if that's what you ultimately base the definition of time on, this implies that it is an emergent property.
> The COBOL days since 1601 epoch makes sense. Now that I think about it, if those functions don't work with negative numbers, then I imagine even the YYYY strings couldn't have years before 1601.

IBM mainframe COBOL has two operation modes, ANSI (where day 1 is 1601-01-01) and “Lilian” (where day 1 is 1582-10-14, the day on which the Gregorian calendar was first introduced). ANSI mode complies with ANSI/ISO standards for COBOL, Lilian is an IBM-only legacy standard. So, in Lilian mode, the earliest value for YYYY is 1582. I don’t believe negative numbers are accepted.
This belief gets very interesting with company phones, where 1 person pays several hundreds/thousand phones. Oh wait, that's not a person but a legal entity?
This is great comment that offers great perspective.

Grumpy old devs often lament that their technology layer is being ignored by newer devs, but often forget that computing has a long history and many layers are built on top of each other. Nobody really understands all the layers from the top down to the semiconductor tech.

If your goal is to learn the tech at any layer, you can still do it; but most people just want to create products and technical knowledge is just a means to an end. Both are valid goals, and I think there's no reason for the former to be snobbish against the latter.

No, the sovereign default will never happen, or, it's always avoidable

However, unrestricted fiscal deficits and debt could lead to a reversal of the low positions of the US dollar and gold, shifting from "the US dollar pricing gold" to "gold pricing the US dollar."

He wasn’t charged because SCOTUS ruled that acts committed while president were immune from prosecution and because the senate didn’t have the guts to impeach him and by the time he won the presidency he fired those working on the case against him.

Texas' crazy abortion law, most likely.

The legislature tried to pretend they weren't criminalizing abortion, by declaring that totally uninvolved randos can sue anybody for having or somehow helping in an abortion, and take thousands from the defendant(s) as a reward.

It's crazy because the usual rule is that you can only sue for harm that happened to you, but Karen McBusybody stalking your Facebook feed wasn't hurt, she just wants to strike out at "evil harlots" while making $10,000.

I pretty much agree with the perspective in this paper. That is, depending on your definition, either

1) AGI has already happened (in a narrow domain of question answering, machines can answer any question & converse, nearly as well as an average human)

2) AGI requires biological embodiment (such as real time learning, growth, long term memory, various real life motives and behaviors) therefore it will never happen with current devices.

OS settings are targeted towards people with health issues. Usability guidelines are meant for people who want to see some text once in a while. Low-contrast “dark mode” is much, much more problematic than typical OS defaults.
From the original article:

> At the other extreme, you can write Windows 95 setup as a 32-bit GUI program, but that means that if the user is starting from MS-DOS or Windows 3.1, you have to install Windows 95 before you can run Windows 95 setup, which is a bit of a catch-22.
"We have to face reality" is a thought-terminating cliche. The causes of homelessness are myriad and there's a ton of conservative propaganda denigrating left-leaning politics. Also, many would beg to differ that SF is a "gigantic pile of shit."

Well, it is useful for him, as (if it turns out to be mostly true) then it highlights how poorly operations in our government are.

The only reason you have to believe that Musk's statements are not correct is the aforementioned inaccurate assertion about COBOL.
I’ve gone rushing to my boss in the past with similarly hastily researched claims and conclusions to what Musk is tweeting. In my experience, they were usually the result of me having performed insufficient research, and did not have nearly the impact I thought they would. However, these kind of junior level mistakes make for great propaganda. Anyone can read his conclusion and the chart and with zero critical thought, think “duh! The government is so stupid! I knew I couldn’t trust them to run a benefits program correctly!” And that’s exactly what Musk wants us to conclude. As you note, however, we cannot conclude that - there is a much, much higher burden of proof we should be demanding.

>I hope this helps people from outside Argentina get another view of Javier Milei, I've read way too many uninformed comments here on Hacker News and other sites about how he's a genius in economy and he's helping Argentina's economy, and that cannot be further from the truth sadly. If he made such a blunder in finance which supposedly is one of his specialties just imagine how incompetent he and most of the government right now is on other matters.

If relying on multiple clones of his dead dog, that he also named after libertarian philosophers, to give him policy advice as President didnt tip anyone off, I dont think shilling a meme coin rug pull is going to change their minds
That would be an improvement!
Great point. And if you fire all the insurance middlemen, but don’t get rid of the legal requirements which spawned those middlemen in the first place, you end up with medical professionals swamped with paperwork they shouldn’t have to deal with it.
You ignored the entire content of my post to make essentially a personal attack because you think someone recognizing that your interpretation of a post is ungenerous is ad hominem. I wasn’t making an argument. I was telling you what you’re arguing against isn’t what was said or at least wasn’t what was meant.

Then you edited your post completely to essentially attack a point that wasn’t really mine, that you wouldn’t see the way it was actually meant, and that I was already conceding for expediency since you yourself claimed you didn’t understand. I posted to you because regardless of who posts you seem to not understand their point of view and want to “debate” about things they didn’t say or if they did say them they didn’t mean them the way you took them.

You’re doing this in several response not just to me. But I’m sure it’s just because I don’t understand the intersection of rules, ethics, and morals. I’m just confused.

Have a nice life.
Does that include losses or not? Turnover in the FAA is probably really bad.
That level of idiocy for sure begs impeachment. But he's not an idiot if he arose to the presidency, he's got a lot of savvy about how things work and who does what. Definitely worth inspecting inside and out.
I learned both Emacs and Vim (VIM for its speed, and emacs for its versatility). As a commenter pointed out, it’s all about freeing the mind. When you’re sure that an action is going to get a specific result, you can just do it and not think about doing it. While I can do most basic actions in whatever editor, there are workflows that are only possible in Vim/Emacs. One example is switching effortlessly between writing code, testing it, fixing it, managing the files, versionning them. Not a speed boost, but a flow boost.
> What struck me most was the balance of compassion and pragmatism that Amanda brings to her work.

Nothing about this article strikes me as pragmatic. She's spending all her energy attempting to help people with the least likelihood of success and then gets angry at the system when they inevitably fail. The city didn't kick Morrisette out of the hotel because they like zero-tolerance policies, but because other people deserve a chance a chance to live in a free hotel room as well.
I could never achieve this. Even after months of consistent training, my heart rate tends to shoot up pretty fast and max out even for small effort runs. Cardiologist tests haven't turned up anything and they insist I can continue to do what I'm doing (some even saying I shouldn't be afraid to go beyond max HR, but I don't know about that). If anyone else experiences the same or has some insight into this, do share.

EDIT: what my training looks like: zone 2 training with a chest strap monitor. 30-45 min sessions, barely breaking out of walking speed, 2-3 days a week for months altogether, mixing it up with interval runs some times. I've done this many times over in my life, never seeing any improvement. Even today, the smallest of jogs will take me to max HR within 10-15 min
This is the only correct answer, and luckily the person who started the Reddit thread has picked up on it too. The only problem is that it’s not going to be quick, but there aren’t any other solutions.
Why would that be surprising? It’s not like you have control over what they’re going to do after you trained them.

Given the… situation there, I’d be more surprised if they didn’t.
Such a thing requires a redesign, not an uncontrolled demolition.
Indeed, sometimes de-escalation is followed by further escalation. By your implied metric, every ceasefire that wasn't permanent was a failure.

If you assume all the non-deceased (as marked in the DB) are still getting a SS check, then simply tallying up 65+ amounts to a 8 trillion dollar social security payout annually. We are definitely not paying that.

My guess is the deceased flag is different from the “eligible for payout” flag, or that flag is determined on another join. They spoke too quickly, which is a common human error.

Someone else smarter run some experiments.
