I have a theory that's well backed by history: when your sole qualification for applicants for important positions in any organization is how well they fondle your balls, you often miss other important data points: for example, if they can use messaging apps correctly.

I'm not sure what you're implying. But I worked at Apple and wrote manpages for various stuff I worked on. Not once did I work with someone to "carefully phrase" them as "public communications". The idea of doing that would be silly. The people at Apple that do that careful phrasing stuff (marketing, etc.) don't even know what a manpage is.
If your locale were to escalate to wartime-like measures for some reason (because of real threats, or some crazy/rogue leadership), couldn't recording aircraft movements and transmissions be suspicious, and sharing that data be suspected spying/treason?

Other way around. They'll try to upsell you on a 5 euro feature that locks the bike to your phone and prevents family members (or thieves) from using it. Though since almost no ebikes do that, it doesn't work to reduce theft.

You are NOT at all (legally) free to arbitrarily turn off your ADSB on an aircraft equipped with it. 91.225(f) [1].

> Except as prohibited in [unmanned aircraft section], each person operating an aircraft equipped with ADS-B Out must operate this equipment in the transmit mode at all times unless [authorized by FAA or ATC].

A common way to add ADSB to an aircraft not originally equipped is replacing one of the lights with a uAvionics skyBeacon[2], which has a LED light + ADSB-out transmitter. So the nav light switch would control it, but you'd also now be required to have them on at all times.

FWIW I strongly disliked The Beginner's Guide—I wasn't a huge fan of the Stanley Parable either, but The Beginner's Guide was significantly less enjoyable even so. I know the game gets a lot of positive reviews, but if you're on the fence already, I'd strongly caution you against blindly trusting the reviews.

There's definitely an element of personal taste, though—I tend to really dislike media that I find overly philosophizing (i.e. when I feel like the authors' arguments are too confident, or otherwise discourage the audience from thinking themselves about the arguments or conclusions). That is to say, I might be precisely the wrong target audience for this sort of game :-P

As someone who is blind I don't understand the target market for this? You can get a basic Braille embosser for $1500. Assuming your using braille paper for both ways of producing braille the embosser will break even after 1000 pages. When I was in school the school district had a basic embosser that was used to print out worksheets and reading material that was not textbooks. I'd routinely go through over 20 pages a day some days, this system can only print out four unique pages a day with a single 3d printer. I could see this being useful for incredibly niche runs of text, for example someone who already has a 3d printer being able to create a braille birthday card for a blind friend or family member. I'd like to see the ability to pay for pre-assembled versions of https://github.com/braillerap/BrailleRap
american liberals are for neoliberal markets which alone puts them to the right of their global counterparts. besides hollow support for socialized healthcare, they've put forward no meaningful reforms which would lead to it (besides the ACA which is dismantled more and more every year), they take large donations from corporate donors and are largely aligned with capital (see weakening of Dodd-Frank, Gramm-Leach-Bliley), they frequently support military interventions and large amounts of defense spending (see Iraq war, interventions in Yemen, Libya, Syria), give lipservice to pro-immigration but in action are largely anti-immigrant (see deportations under Obama and Biden), and compromise on core issues like abortion and LGBT rights. that's just a few examples.

do you have anything of substance to share, or is this what passes for intellectual discourse on HN these days?
I disagree with that assessment. I have autism, which is much more dysfunctional than ADHD in statistical terms, and I also saw a dramatic mental health improvement when I disengaged from popular autism culture. It's become a space that implicitly preaches helplessness and reacts to notions of personal accountability (i.e. receiving behavioral therapy) with hostility.

Somewhere along the way, the mission moved away from the aspirational culture of identifying problem areas and addressing them, to a more stagnant culture that only goes so far as to validate your present behavior and mindset. It feels good and positive on the surface, but it lacks productivity over the long term.
Well if it is BS or not is a culture issue. LinkedIn has a culture (as does X as does Facebook as does Reddit as does Youtube).

That is hard to prescribe and those tech giants probably don't care much what it is as long as people are engaged.
> We've only been speaking in terms of single languages, though. Have you combined different programs together before and thought, "Hmm, this is kind of like a pattern for..."?

It's metacircular all the way down. In Forth or Tcl, every command can be its own program. Deploying over many machines has similar dynamics to multithreading on one etc. The same concepts, notation etc. apply - you abstract over them and voila. Better primitive sets make things manageable, or don't.

You have reversed the point of patterns, to be a tool of thought and something to aim for. Instead, they are something you notice by a certain outcome, which guides you when you want that result again.

> Lisp ... tooling for boilerplate

That's where you've missed it. This isn't some functional propaganda; there are many paradigms, OOP and functional are just single ones. You are thinking in terms of boilerplate when these other paradigms just don't have any of it. You can even do OOP without the boilerplate - it's incidental to your tools, Common Lisp with CLOS is an OOP language. The patterns in Lisp architecture are about fundamental issues of domain modeling, how to structure teams, organizations and manage who should implement what. But you can even jump higher in scope and model that in code and "compile your company". As the code executes, at some points it will ask for user input, having an accountant do so and so action or asking a committee to assemble for something else. My company works this way.

> no programming language can expect to be a universal one and still have the same ergonomics as a purposeful one or even a DSL

Yes and no. Yes, overfitting a tool to the current problem space restricts it, but DSLs can have the exact same ergonomics as any other language. Cf. Language Oriented Programming: https://beautifulracket.com/appendix/why-lop-why-racket.html

The thing is, the criminals do tend, and when I say "tend to" I mean "as far as I can tell, always are, although obviously just because I've not seen a counter example doesn't mean one doesn't exist" always be from similar ethnic groups.

You've heard of the Italian Mafia? A criminal organization where ethnicity was literally a criteria for admission? Or, while not criminal, Jewish diamond merchants? Having a specific ethnic group specialize in a certain type of commercial activity isn't new.

When that activity is trafficking drugs from Morocco, against the wishes of the local state, it's not surprising that the organization is largely composed of people who happen to share a common language, culture and ethnicity with Morroco.

And if you're wondering why Morocco, well that's where all the hashish is grown.

You've possibly been to "Chinatown" in a large city (say NYC). Now remplace east Asian immigration with North Africa immigration, replace the stereotypical restaurants and dry cleaners with drug dealing, and you have north Marseille.

This unfortunate fact actually drives a lot of the racism. If you ignore it because it sounds racist well... The problem will remain, refusing to accept that there currently is an ethnic group that dominates illegal drug trafficking in a certain place, due to ties with the source of the drug doesn't make it any less true.

Similarly, of you're smuggling cocaine into the US, speaking Spanish is a really good trait to have. Because the country that produces most of the cocaine speaks that language.
Not surprising. People find these arbitrage opportunities.

I am ideologically neutral in this pissing match you and anigbrowl are projecting. Is Hegseth dumb enough to make such a mistake? Yes. Is Goldberg a known fabricator? Yes. I reminded people of the latter, since most of you already accept the former. If the tables were turned, I'd have asked a similar question about Hegseth.

Distorting a "gentle reminder" of a fact (not an argument) into a fallacy is a slime ball move, worthy of the most shameless press operatives; only real difference being that the aforementioned operatives are smart enough to demand a dear price for their shamelessness, whereas anigbrowl does it for free!

I think we are undercounting how much silt gets deposited by major river systems over millenia. The ruins of Lothal, which was a Harappan port city contemporary with Ur are pretty far inland as well. Who knows? Maybe Giza was closer to the coast and was part of a major Nilotic coastal metropolis
That’s fair. Another pro is the flexibility that comes from being able to store policies in a database and manage them as data instead of code. E.G. roll your own IAM.

A good problem to solve when you need to, but for many of my projects, which admittedly don’t grow into big organizations, I find myself valuing the simplicity of the reduced toolkit.

The gcc's 512 byte block is actually not that bad.

For cache locality, you want block size that is bigger that cache line size - and those are 64 to 128 byte range. And as for overhead, it seems like 1 pointer per block, or 1.5% for deque of pointers/integers - not a very big value. So yeah, while linked lists are bad, gcc's deque is pretty OK.

For MSVC, I agree, their std::deque is pretty bad. But the title of the post isn't "a faster deque MSVC", it makes no distinction between OSes.
All of these use cases can be achieved without requiring a manufacturer-run Internet-connected cloud service.

I don't think this is a lack of imagination. Personally, I would love network-connected appliances that could be controlled and automated over my LAN. What I (and others) object to is the unnecessary round trip through the Internet to the manufacturer's server which will inevitably become the weakest link.

If there's any imagination problem, it's on the manufacturer who can't imagine a "smart" appliance that doesn't involve inserting themselves, via the Internet, in between the user and the appliance and (often) charging a monthly service fee for this misfeature.

There's a difference between nitpicks and "gets basic things wrong" or "doesn't format their code". Remember that Alice is 0.9 of Bob: she's not there fighting with him on formatting (everyone has CI do this anyway, lol) or getting basic things wrong. She's getting comments like "hmm, this API you use could be a bit better, could you also refactor that while you're at it?" or "can you make this more general to support this use case that we don't actually need right now, but could potentially need later?" I guarantee you, regardless of how smart you are, there are a multitude of ways I could tie up your review for a long time. And this happens all the time in projects with very smart people working on it.

None of my family worked on a farm. But, literally one time I went to visit a friend whose family farmed. We all spent some time digging up some kind of root vegetable. It was fun because it was with friends but also, it would absolutely suck to do for a living, haha.

No, but the GP is framing the arson and related terrorism that is scaring people from buying/driving Teslas as a "boycott" in the same way that disingenuous news media is, and justifying it by comparing it to the Bud Light boycott.

The drop in sales is from terrorism, not from a "boycott".
"The bitter lesson" didn't merely claim that a sufficiently large amount of compute would obsolete an engineered solution. Its claim was far stronger: the time it takes for the compute growth to catch up with the hand-engineered solution is so short that the investment in the latter won't pay off in the sense of a researcher's personal career investment, or in the sense of a big-tech R&D effort ROI.

You may well dispute such a claim, of course. Would be interesting to read your thoughts if you are willing to share them.

In general, a problem with big files is encapsulation -- ideally you want private fields to have as little visibility to other code as possible.
