The claim that one person makes that amount of difference is questionable. Even if you assume he can get the rocket to work reliably. From where they were in 1966, to actually do the landing, and the safe return, that's a whole other thing.

I grew up in poverty in India, so research was never a leisure activity—it was a race to keep up. That’s why I think the article is right about the cultural shift. Deep reading feels like a luxury not everyone can afford.

Now, I see more people relying on step-by-step guides instead of digging in themselves. It fits the trend of passive consumption. But reading alone isn’t enough. It only matters if you can use it to solve real problems you care about.

I haven't seen conclusive evidence that this is the case, do you happen to have an analysis of this somewhere?

Of course, C++ offers you tools that C doesn't, but some of those tools have their own sharp edges as well. Plus, many C++ codebases are "C with classes" style or similar hybrids, those are still ultimately C++ programs, not C ones.
It is a life goal, for sure! Not necessarily one I'll be able to reach, but we have to have stretch goals :D
So, there's Skia. Skia is a high-level library that converts texts to glyph indices, does high-level text layout, and caches glyphs (and it also makes GPU calls). But the actual parsing of the font file and converting glyphs to bitmaps happens below in FreeType.

Skia is made in C++. It's made by Google.

There's FreeType. It actually measures and renders glyphs, simultaneously supporting various antialiasing modes, hinting, kerning, interpreting TrueType bytecode and other things.

FreeType is made in C. It's not made by Google.

Question: why was it FreeType that got a Rust rewrite first?
How about an ERG for people who need support? When I started working I had no idea how things work and nobody told me. I didn't even know that things like mentorship exist. I had been taught by my parents that you go to work and do what you are told to do.
> I believe all birds and mammals have a pretty good "theory of mind", it's just hard to do an experiment to prove it

Our pet bird (sun conure) actively tries to lie and mislead when he's doing something naughty. Like he will go into the pantry to steal treats and quickly fly out pretending he wasn't in there when he hears you approaching.

This indicates he has some theory of mind. He has to understand there's a difference between what he knows and what we know, otherwise he wouldn't try to hide or obscure his actions.

And yes there is research showing/arguing that birds have theory of mind --> https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/144146926.pdf

> Even the most devout vegan would surely concede that the plants they eat must die in order to render sustenance from them.

Let me (far from a vegan) try to disagree: you can sustainably harvest the fruit or the bark of a plant without killing it, and you can certainly argue that those parts aren't alive in themselves. You could stretch the argument to include the sap and the leaves. Does a mother have to die to suckle her baby?

A really enlightened follower of this argument might limit himself not only to renewable parts of the plant, but also of animals: it's OK to eat eggs, dairy products, honey, blood pudding, but not meat, potatoes or carrots.

Of course, we don't farm those products in a way consistent with not killing the non-productive animals, with the possible exception of honey. But in principle one could.
It also has Greenland which is just an autonomous region of Denmark, but not the Faroe Islands which is our other autonomous region. I guess Greenland is just more visible due to its size (both regions actually have about the same population)
I think what they're suggesting is that yes, Google spent some SWE hours to implement it, but they have (or will, over time) saved more than that in equivalent compute (by pushing it onto users). So, from Google's point of view, they saved SWE hours on the company balance sheet, so it's a win.

But from the larger point of view of "everyone," this actually made the total cost worse. The cost/benefit analysis from Google's point-of-view was worth it, even though it made things overall worse in the larger perspective. Hence "tragedy of the commons," where the short-sighted behavior of some actors makes things worse overall.
> when you are living paycheck to paycheck, retirement takes a backseat to rent.

Even if you can't afford to save for retirement, you really can't afford not to.

> There is an option, it's fully funding social security by lifting the income cap

That's kinda correct. The income cap on Social Security is effectively a regressive tax. But it won't help fund retirements into the future.

By law, Social Security only invests in Treasuries. This can't provide the returns needed to fund retirements unless the worker-to-retiree ratio massively improves.

Social Security should be allowed to invest in VTI or some other broad-based investment vehicle. This aligns the incentives correctly. We don't want current workers paying for retired workers. We want rising productivity in the economy to do that.

To comply, for every item in that list, Apple can decide to enable it world wide, or only enable it for devices sold in the EU.

The latter would cost them more, both to initially implement and to maintain.

It'd be interesting to see which items they'd decide are not worth the forking cost and would be enabled world wide then, and what they consider enough of crown jewels to be limited to the EU.
I think the risk of it turning in a tedious back and forth / rebuttal that you touched on is a big reason in addition to the liability / risk aversion etc.

If you build a bit of rapport with your HR contact / recruiter / interviewers and mention that you'd appreciate feedback either way during the process, realize that maybe it might not end up being a fit now but maybe down the track or that you might have other referrals for them, etc., then in my experience you can actually get some reasonable informal/verbal feedback a lot of the time.

If you treat it as an entitlement and don't demonstrate that you understand their concerns, less so.

I dunno hallucinations seem like a pretty human type of mistake to me.

when i try to remember something my brain often synthesizes new things by filling in the gaps.

This would be where I often say "i might be imagining it, but..." or "i could have sworn there was a..."

In such cases the thing that saves the human brain is double checking against reality (e.g. googling it to make sure).

Miscounting the number of r's in strawberry by glancing at the word also seems like a pretty human mistake.

For that case, it sounds more like having your tools commit for you after each change, as is the default for Aider, is the real winner. "git log -p" would have exposed that crazy import in minutes instead of hours.

>But logically, there's no reason to believe that other animals can't be possessed by spirits.

Logic has no merit when you're talking about the supernatural, because the rules can be whatever you want. Maybe animals can't be possessed by spirits because God only gave "true souls" to humans, and possessing spirits can only replace "true souls." Maybe they require a brain with a certain complexity which only humans possess. Maybe spirits just think it's gross, like bestiality.
Cline also requires the use of an API key, preferably from Anthropic. I found its results to be much better than running a DeepSeek-Llama 70b locally.

Ever since I started working with Zig, I came to realization that its errdefer is even more useful than defer itself. But you can't implement errdefer in C, since there is no standard/disambiguous way of returning errors.

Discover Premium IPTV Services with TEREATV and FreeGoTV in 2025
In 2025, the world of television entertainment is evolving at an unprecedented pace, thanks to the rise of IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) services. Gone are the days of traditional cable and satellite services that are riddled with high costs, hidden fees, and limited channel options. IPTV has emerged as a game-changer, offering flexible, affordable, and high-quality content streaming that meets the needs of today’s modern viewers. Whether you're in the USA, UK, or Canada, TEREATV and FreeGoTV are two of the most trusted names in premium IPTV services.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll dive deep into the world of premium IPTV services, focusing on the features, benefits, and subscription options offered by TEREATV and FreeGoTV in 2025. We'll explore why these two providers are at the forefront of the IPTV revolution and why they should be on your radar if you're looking to cut the cord and embrace a smarter, more flexible way to enjoy live TV, sports, movies, and more.

What is IPTV? An Overview for 2025
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) refers to the delivery of television content through the internet rather than traditional satellite or cable TV systems. With IPTV, users stream content on various internet-enabled devices like smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and streaming devices such as Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, and Apple TV.
The complexity you avoid by choosing this 'scale vertically all the way' approach is _huge_.

Like you say, deploy read replicas or automate regular backups (with regularly tested restore automation), whatever you need to meet your RTO and RPOs.

You need to be able to ignore any ignorant sales/marketing/growth management that try to tell you "we can't afford any downtime at all!!!" and have enough internal political power on the tech side. Tech leadership should be able to document the costs of each extra nine of uptime to senior management and have them acknowledge that occasional second or perhaps even minutes of downtime during failover is acceptable.

By the time you start approaching the limits of your server with two 64 core epyc CPUs and 3TB of RAM and 24 NVMe flash SSDs - hopefully you no longer need to take advice from randoms on HN because you should by then have 100+ database and network engineers working follow the sun shifts with some _really_ smart and deeply experienced dedicated database leadership managing them.

Or, you need to get someone on board to teach all your junior devs or "vibe coders" about database indexes and how to construct queries that don't do multiple fulltable scans just to render some user profile widget on every page load... "But it wrks fine on my laptop!!!" (with a whole 7 user accounts and 47 rows in the user_activity table...)

> OK, so you phrased your criticism very narrowly toward "lots of these Rust CLI tools," but in actuality, your criticism applies way more broadly than that.

Obviously. The topic was Rust CLI tools, that's why my post focused on them. Indeed, my criticism is broader.

> Likely to just about all of GNU's tooling, for example. And probably BSD's and busybox's tooling too. Even busybox isn't above implementing POSIX+some, and AFAIK none of them provide a strict "POSIX only" mode.

This isn't about POSIX or not POSIX, this is about introducing yet another pure convenience feature for something that can easily be achieved with other accompanying (guaranteed to be on the concerned platform) tools. POSIX doesn't create features anyway, it's about describing things that have already become standard; the Austin Group bug tracker is quite explicit about this.

> No... it doesn't? ripgrep being compatible with the Unix philosophy is not the same as it being POSIX compatible.

Well, just a question of interpretation of "Unix-like goodness". UNIX is both a philosophy and a portability standard (since POSIX == SUSv4). And as I said, doing one thing and doing it well is another facet of that philosophy; finding files != searching in them.

> And besides, I don't know of any grep that has such a mode. How do you know you aren't using a grep flag that isn't available in other grep implementations?

Compatibility != strict rejection of anything else, quite obviously.

> Nope, I don't. I've been a vim (now neovim) user for decades. And neovim even uses ripgrep by default over grep if it's installed.

Which is why I said vim instead of neovim (even if neovim is clearly better).

------

I think you misunderstand my position because I like a bit of snark: compromising on the "do one thing" part of the UNIX philosophy isn't necessarily something horrible, but it's not an imaginary issue either. I could give other examples (like how the pretty clean xsv became https://github.com/dathere/qsv) but it really doesn't matter because I think it's more of a popular CLI "apps" thing than Rust alone, even if there's community overlap.
In the list that you filtered and hand picked yourself there is literally "War crimes committed in Serbia". The article linked is mentioning a researcher that spoke badly about the US president.

They did this during the period where Chrome was eating into Firefox usage, after telling Mozilla that they would drop H.264 in favor of open codecs but never keeping that promise. Here’s some period discussion:

https://www.osnews.com/story/24263/google-h264-stifles-innov...

What this meant in practice was that Firefox would play YouTube videos at close to 100% CPU and Chrome would use H.264 and play at like 5% CPU, and since it was VP8 the quality was noticeably worse than H.264 as well. Regular people talked about that a lot, and it helped establish Chrome’s reputation for being faster.
I don't know why 4 points were required to say you found one video that doesn't play.

It didn't play for me either. I clicked on the first video in the suggestions, it worked immediately. Does that video not work for you? On the link to toobnix I shared, with the Intergalactic Mixes, do they not work for you? They all work on my side.

Anyway, "unusable" doesn't mean "there's one video I found that doesn't work", it means, "impossible to use", or "cannot be used". It's a boringly obvious point but this is - false.

> This emphasis on single-family homes in their data sources affects the generalizability of their conclusions about the impact of supply constraints across different types of housing markets, especially in dense urban areas where multi-family units and rentals are more prevalent.

But that's what people are typically complaining the most about, so fair enough that they focus on it.

> They also only go as far back as 1980. The difference between supply constraints between 1980 and 2025 is very small compared to the difference between 1965 and 1980. Take Los Angeles as an example [1]. The zoned capacity of many metro areas was dramatically reduced by the mid 1970s.

That' supports their point though, if the supply constraints differences have been small between 1980 and 2025, but the house price increase has been large, then supply constrains can't really explain house price increase? Or am I misunderstanding your point?
This requires an MCP-compliant client, for which Claude Desktop seems to be the main (or only?) choice.

Note that Claude Desktop can be run on Linux using https://github.com/aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian, which repackages the Windows version to run on Linux (it's an Electron app, so it just needs to stub out the native interface, which seems mostly for cosmetic things).

It would be really nice though if the web versions of Claude, ChatGPT, etc. added MCP support directly: this should be achievable with help from a WebExtension and a native binary to proxy messages from the WebExtension to the MCP server.

It should also be possible to write such a WebExtension by a third-party (that injects messages in the conversation), although it's possible the LLM companies might block it.

Apple most certainly abuses their dominant position (like any company if you allow them). The fact that nobody can use the NFC to build a payment app because Apple can keep it to themselves is abusive. The interoperability clause of the DMA aims at preventing that kind of abuse.
The network effect of the prices going up seems to permit the appraisers to add their bumps up as well. I don't think it's as influenced by appraisers as some think, and it might vary by region a bit. If prices in a region are rising (for a number of factors) I don't think many appraisers are going to round down in their judgements.
Yep this person clearly tried to manipulate the system and had the gall to admit that in public because she knew some many ppl wouldn't care and would support her regardless. this comment thread is proof of that.
