this sort of topic illustrates the type of vexing problems that I wish a community model was better at addressing. Chasing and solving your own pain points is cool but frequently creates new pain points for other people. I love more features for searching history, but...

the reason bash uses Ctrl-r for searching back in history is because that's EMACS for searching back in your edit buffer (like C-a, C-f, C-b, C-e, etc are emacs cursor motions). I like the features of fzf, but I hate that it suddenly changes muscle memory that I rely on that is bigger than the immediate context.

these kinds of problems show up all over. I have always relied heavily on "middle button pastes the current mouse selection". I don't know what's going on in linux--is it Wayland?--but that feature is increasingly and increasingly being broken in more and more places. one place (which may entail a different "feature creep") is "click the url-bar in the browser and it auto-selects the whole thing...uh uh uh, wait, but not anymore for the purposes of the X-selection. but you can get the X-selection back if you click again (to deselect the whole thing) then again to reselect the whole thing... or is it double click..." the mind boggles

the old way (or goal) was to have the UI be standard, everywhere used the same code. but there were always people who wanted to innovate on their own, then with the idea of UX it wasn't any longer about standardization--or ironically personalization--at all

I realize whoever are making these changes simply don't work the way I have (for the last 35 yrs (well, that's just with linux)) so they don't notice what's being thrown away. I guess it's getting close to that time I should climb on and drift away on a little ice raft...
Legally, it is enforceable. That's not the same as practically enforceable.
really helpful stuff, thanks!
The en and em dashes and my 3rd and 2nd favourite punctuation marks after the semi-colon.

Recently I was accused of using AI to produce something because of my use of em-dash. I was able to show my use of the character going back years in my university work, long before recent AI.
I actually learned this in a book for Xerox Ventura Publisher in the late '80s.

> This sounds less like a Signal problem than an information organization problem. Signal can only show what's in its datastore (your contact list).

Signal's insistence on punting on the trust/identity problem is a Signal problem IMO, particularly when its advocates make such a fuss (when it suits them) about being a properly end-to-end cryptosystem and not just a toolbox of algorithms. Most of the systems it's competing with make at least some attempt at providing a chain of trust so you don't have to individually verify everyone you want to talk to.
So Google released Gemini 2.5 and one hour later OpenAI comes with this. It’s almost childish at this point.

Ran through some of my relatively complex prompts combined with using pure text prompts as the de-facto means of making adjustments to the images (in contrast to using something like img2img / inpainting / etc.)

It's definitely impressive though once again fell flat on the ability to render a 9-pointed star.
I've known this since the start of my using unix shells, but it's almost useless. For example, if fzf or whichever plugin I'm using shows me the number, why would I need it when I'm going to use the list it has presented? I certainly wouldn't cancel it and use the number, nor would I type the number when I have the choice of banging one key repeatedly, or adding characters I can see in the command to narrow the search even more.

Some features just aren't worth the time.

Deepseek R1 got the right answer after a whopping ~10 minutes of thinking. I'm impressed and feel kind of dirty, I suspect my electricity use from this could have been put to better use baking a frozen pizza.
Who really believes this isn't an intentional "leak".
I have a similar setup. I use fzf plus a unique shared history that is 10000 items long. Last time I moved machines one of the important things to take over was my shell history. I have old obscure invocations that I can‘t remember but know that I did them in the past ;)
Unique is the key for me. I don‘t care that I ran cargo test 20 times in a row. Shared history across shells is a bit polarizing depending on your workflow. For me it’s important to have access to the items I ran in a different window/tab.
But what I can‘t understand is why so many paid professionals stick to the defaults. I shows my setup a few people and they all went: „what ?!? That is possible“ And that is the end of it. Well most devs I know sadly don‘t even know how to use the default search. The fact that you have to hit CTRL-R multiple times to skip to the next search result is a mystery.
Maybe someone needs to package a shell where this kinds of options are just the default. And maybe adds a more modern key binding interface.
Traitors like her being in the highest offices of the land makes me sick. I will never forget images of her meeting Assad after that sob gazed children with chemical weapons, or her voting present to an impeachment. I wouldn't believe that traitor if she told me the Russians were at my doorstep. We have a circus filled with clowns unfortunately. The desk with Patel and her being interrogated is such a clown show.
Care to share the command(s) you're using to dump all that into SQLite?
5-6GHz is good at covering a house without too much leakage. And with 9 separate channels that each run at a gigabit or higher, you can have very good neighbor avoidance. That seems fine to me for covering both bandwidth and wall-penetration needs.

In a big apartment building you might have to use more narrow channels but I still think the overall picture for 5+6GHz is a good one. Especially because MIMO can squeeze a gigabit into 80MHz or theoretically even 40MHz.

He’s been discussing writable memos for Solid 2.0 off and on for a bit. While the other response is right that you can roll your own, it seems pretty likely this will be a first class thing in Solid too.

Even with custom LoRas, controlnets, etc. we're still a pretty long ways from being able to one-click generate thematically consistent images especially in the context of a video game where you really need the ability to generate seamless tiles, animation based spritesheets, etc.

So why did this conversation needed to be kept from malign rogue anti-Trumpers in the NSA (who would be risking very real jail time) but did not require the basic level of OPSEC that would keep the editor of the Atlantic out?
>No federal agency sponsor needed for simple, low-impact service offerings

ohh, well, anyway.
The funny thing is I heard the head of the CIA testify today and say they use Signal because it is E2E encrypted. Are they that confident that no other country like China can crack those? I sure hope our intelligence officers are using better systems than effing Signal
Gengrich is an interesting subject of study precisely because he worked so well with Clinton that the roaring '90s happened.

Clinton fared poorly under Democratic control of the house in his first two years, which was lost in the midterms.

Clinton prospered with Gengrich, and the .com era occurred under their aegis.

Some bad decisions were made by them, no doubt.
The only benchmark I care about. Thanks!
I’m currently building the back-end for my startup in C# using EventStoreDB and CQRS. I have an initial front-end application written in Svelte from two years ago as a PoC. It was a treat writing and designing it and I can’t wait to do a second pass with all these awesome Svelte updates!
Neither. It should be https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D450

But HN is broken and the character disappears upon submission, so we have to approximate it with a symbol that looks similar. C is similar enough.

> I ended up writing a driver program for my personal project’s CI builds. One job builds the driver program, and then the next job runs the driver program to do the entire build.

Yes things like that have been discussed before on HN. Also for example use a justfile (or something similar) and then call that from inside the Action to reduce vendor lock-in.
If using Nix, you can get Atuin working basically for free by just enabling it in the config. I love it. Does everything I'd every hoped for with history search.
Why look for ambiguity that isn't there?
AI labs, it seems, use a template for system cards as well. OpenAI stands out because they showcase their employees using their tools for various use cases, which is refreshing.
Loved that puzzle, thanks for sharing it. I’ve solved a lot of math problems in the past but this one had a unique flavor of interleaving logical reasoning, partial information and a little bit of arithmetic.
This is a C pattern, that people also happen to use in C++ and Objective-C.

Now that I have CarPlay I won’t get a car without it. A car manufacturer can’t compete with the ecosystem or the convenience of using the same app in car as on the phone.

Granted it’d be better if the car navigation got updated and didn’t cost $100, but it won’t and it doesn’t. Podcasts don’t need a sync I as the play from the same device, there’s Audible, and Jellyfin supported music players, ChatGPT through the car speakers, WhatsApp for calls, I have a Bluetooth Connection for to the car computer, I had Pimsleur for a while, there is just no way an infotainment system can do more.

It's always nice to see others programming in Jakt. I've written a couple of network device drivers (rtl8139, virtio-net) and a TCP/IP stack in Jakt that is used in my TempleOS fediverse server project[1].

I also contributed some patches to Sophia's jaktnesmonster NES emulator a few years back, adding support for some popular mappers, as well as a TempleOS port, and more recently wired everything up[2][3] to use Serenity's native libraries (LibGUI, LibAudio, etc.)

You're saying that large companies are hitting individual websites with thousands of unrelated IP addresses?
Yep. People will pay for it even if there’s only a perceived benefit. Everyone who has hung out with audiophiles has known at least one who is convinced they can hear the difference. But if that person was tested in a blinded format would they actually succeed?

Lossless music is great. As an archival tool, to transcode into something smaller on your actual listening device. It’s not a technology designed for streaming or listening in today’s world.

Indeed, at least it is on the right path to be hired by a wannabe FAANG startup.
Interesting website. I was reading the free chapter about active and passive voice, something I've never really understood or paid much attention to. Excellent explanation that cleared things up. My manager uses active voice when they're taking credit for our work, and passive voice when they do things wrong. It's a neat trick.
I'm concerned that what brings change won't be a smarter electorate, but instead losing a war or having another civil war.

I'm somewhat politically conservative, and I still cannot make any sense of the plurality that voted Trump into office again. I really wonder if I'm in some kind of echo chamber that prevents me from understanding their perspective.
I think that's actually the core of the problem. It's the right choice for big projects. But Svelte was an absolute joy to use when brewing up a small or medium size project that you want to just work first time.

Runes are the right choice for the library, but there is still a loss there.
I’m one year older and basically on the same path.
I always thought that other devs that had an undergrad in computer science had something in their toolbelt that I didn’t know because I didn’t go to school.

I’m 76% done with my CS degree and I’m not sure it’ll be worth it.

There are some classes I wouldn’t have taken on my own if I didn’t have the pressure like discrete math 2, stats, but to be honest in about 2 months of not using them I’m going to forget it all anyway.

Coincidentally when I dropped out of college in my early 20s I was in mech eng. I build engines and race cars as a hobby and I always wanted to gain a more scientific edge. I also dabble in circuits and have an electronic technician degree from HS so I feel like you and I may share a lot.

School takes just the right mindset. I did everything online. The first two years are honestly a waste of time and money. Non science Gen Eds at 32 are ridiculous and I almost dropped again just because of how irrelevant that all was for my adult life. In particular because I had dropped out half way before.

Anyway, I don’t know if life is different after getting the degree but I feel more confident when I pass hard classes and I inch to the end. I started applying for jobs I would’ve normally looked from afar, because I’m more convinced that I have what it takes (and it didn’t come from school).

I still think of doing mechanical engineering at least once a week.

It surely looks like one from the outside.

Features only get added when there is a champion to push for them forward across all hurdles (candidate), and voted in by its peers (election), at the end of a government cycle (ISO revision), the compiler users rejoice for the new set of features.
I watched the lecture and did not find it compelling. It was a very literal interpretation, discussed alongside the evidence presented in the text of what was and wasn't more or less traveled by.

There was an interesting series of points made about American culture, and their sense of need for an affirmation / self-deception -- but I don't find his actual critique of the poem's words particularly enlightening.

So if you are interested in American cultural thought, involving over-rationalisation of choices, the lecture might have value. If you are particularly interested in the poem itself outside of that context, I don't recommend viewing.
There’s a difference between (a) hiring smart people you respect and generally agree with to give you their own opinions and help shape your decisions and (b) hiring people who will go along with anything you say and holding their careers and families’ safety over the fire.

It is easier to do a blameless incident response (or whatever you call it at your company) with the passive voice IMO.
Show HN: Find alternative writing of your desire domain name
Find creative and available domain name alternatives using special TLDs.

The idea is finding matched domain name of your product with rarely used, specific TLDs.

If your product idea is named Typefast. But you found typefast.com or .co aren't available. This website will suggest creative domain of that same name, for instance typefa.st or type.fast so you can keep your product cool name.
There is a reason I am self-employed, and have been since the 1990s.

When there is easy freedom to change jobs, as there had been in tech for decades, then tech workers can be picky about their employer.
>U.S. national-security leaders

Those aren't leaders, quite the opposite, nothing but typical Trump-like non-leaders disgracing leadership positions.

>those 18 people are just random folks

OTOH if you picked 18 random patriotic Americans, odds are none would be that far below average at defending what normal Americans have always held dear.
I think you're missing the context everyone else has - this video is where the "AI can't draw a full glass of wine" meme got traction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=160F8F8mXlo

The prompts (some generated by ChatGPT itself, since it's instructing DALL-E behind the scenes) include phrases like "full to the brim" and "almost spilling over" that are not up to interpretation at all.
Do you think they’ll get prosecuted? I am willing to bet money that congress won’t even have hearings on it.
> Why describes mostly every law enacted by a parliament? They clearly have that power to change the laws they enacted at any time.

They don't have the power to reinterpret their laws. They can repeal laws and pass new laws, but interpretation is up to the courts, if they don't like the interpretation the court gives to a law then their recourse is to pass a new law.

> So where is the problem if parliament delegates this power to some executive entity?

The problem is firstly that the executive isn't supposed to have the power to make or repeal laws, "delegating" it to them breaks the separation of powers, and secondly allowing a law to be "reinterpreted" rather than rewritten breaks the whole system of precedence that the rule of law depends on.
What is plus times plus?
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
I am using Plus from Australia, and while I am not getting a full glass, nor am I getting a half full glass. The glass I'm getting is half empty.
Good luck when something goes wrong, which it will. At the very least, you need HA for pi-hole which is easy to do with something like nebula-sync
I'm learning a language, and I'd love to be able to filter Netflix titles by language, but they absolutely refuse to do it (I assume because allowing users to filter content would expose how bare the offerings are).
I have not monitored traffic in this way, but I imagine most AI companies would explicitly follow links listed in robots, even if not mentioned elsewhere on the site.

Potential penalty of death as well.

Also lets not forget those messages had a 4w expiary date.
Which is exactly why it's important to have a separation of powers where the legislature writes the laws and the courts interpret them. When the same entity is both writing the rules and interpreting the ambiguity in them, that's ripe for abuse.
Starting to get a bit out of date. Pity they stopped updating it.
This is amazing. I am (regretfully) the introverted one in the community that watches as my wife and kids make the most of it. This is something I would love to stumble on. Great read!
Mostly we have eval-when because of outdated defaults that are worth re-examining.

A Lisp compiler today should by default evaluate every top level form that are compiles, unless the program opts out of it.

I made the decision in TXR Lisp and it's so much nicer that way.

There are fewer surprises and less need for boilerplate for compile time evaluation control. The most you usually have to do is tell the compiler not to run that form which starts your program: for instance (compile-only (main)). In a big program with many files that could well be the one and only piece of evaluation control for the file compiler.

The downside of evaluating everything is that these definitions sit in the compiler's environment. This pollution would have been a big deal when the entire machine is running a single Lisp image. Today I can spin up a process for the compiling. All those definitions that are not relevant to the compile job go away when that exits. My compiler uses a fraction of the memory of something like GCC, so I don't have to worry that these definitions are taking up space during compilation; i.e. that things which could be written to the object file and then discarded from memory are not being discarded.

Note how when eval-when is used, it's the club sandwich 99% of the time: all three toppings, :compile-toplevel, :load-toplevel, :execute are present. The ergonomics are not very good. There are situations in which it would make sense to only use some of these but they rarely come up.
