> If I were a native speaker? Then for sure, by definition I could not have a wrong accent (whether it's understandable is a different question.)

You're Polish. There aren't many places outside of Poland where Polish is a native language - I'm not sure if there are any at all if you narrow it down to places where it is an official or majority language.

I was talking about Indian English and Phillipine English. Indians and Filipinos often speak those varieties of English natively. The reason they exist is literally because the British Empire brought the English language with it when it invaded them and they had to learn it to adapt to their conquerors. But that was a long time ago and now you have literally generations of native speakers of those varieties of English just as you do in the US, Ireland, Canada, South Africa or New Zealand[0].

This is different from a Polish non-native speaker of English or German, or a non-native speaker of Polish having "an accent".

[0]: I'm intentionally omitting Australia because Australian English seems to have a more homogeneous history, being mostly the product of different British varieties of English. New Zealand English shares a similar history but is distinct because it also took influences from its indigenous Māori language. Canada and the US of course can trace their varieties back to British settlers but likewise saw many influences from other settlers, slaves, indigeneous peoples and later immigrants. South African English again goes back to British settlers but includes varieties natively spoken by members of the majority of its population unrelated to those settlers. Ireland's native population - as in India and the Phillipines - adopted its variety of English due to British conquest.

Seems like the author really wants to build a search engine and not use something that exists already.

I don’t think this portrait is any more or less priceless than the Crown Jewels. After all, the Crown Jewels are only a bunch of precious materials that an artist put together and have been associated with importance and uniqueness by (western) human history. Shakespeare is widely regarded as among the important artists in western history, so a genuine historic images would be important to many.

Now, people from other cultures may just consider both rubbish and melt down the Crown Jewels for the raw materials - or hang the portrait over their fireplace.

Priceless is always in the eye of the beholder.
usually whitespace (in) significance is specified in the XML schema. so if you provide a schema and instruct the xslt engine to comply with the schema, do your issues persist?
The final paragraph has the Crux of the issue imo.

They admit their proposed solution of statically declaring functionality in an entity has a downside.

> The main limitation is of course that entity types are locked down at compile-time and cannot be changed dynamically.

ECS is used I believe mainly in highly dynamic games.

His proposed alternative to statically hard code functionality in entities is great if you don't have a dynamic functionality which a lot of games dont.

For games like RPGs or space exploration where you have a variety of different entities with a variety of different components you can't really hard code things.

ECS is a great tool in certain situations. Not a great tool in others.
So you're not a software developer and can't really evaluate how useful it is?
That’s where the concept and name come from. “Pomodo” means “tomato” in Italian, and the author of the technique had one of those. The image comes from its Wikipedia page.

I'm genuinely confused about this. The very first example uses a Mock. It's just a manually defined mock that the author calls a "stub". There is no discernable difference between this and just using a mock, that I can see.
Would you be able to share examples of these "shot down proposals"?

I personally haven't found Rust that difficult to prototype in, when I need to I just liberally use clone/Arc/RefCell.

I see the main benefit of these scripting languages as being able to write/run code at runtime, e.g. live coding music or mods for video games.

Well, kind of, I don’t think it’s that crazy. This service does two things:

* Performs image OCR on images, generically. This is then used for several features: “I type a word in the search box and it can look through my screenshots and photos,” “I’m in one of those horrible scanned image-only PDFs and I want to search,” and so on.

* Performs “main content extraction” on websites by using a screenshot of the website _alongside_ the accessibility tree for that website’s structure. It basically says “given this tree of elements and screenshot, can you prune the tree to just the elements a user would care about.” The fact that this is necessary is more an indictment of the DOM than this feature, IMO :)

Thanks. I was starting to get pretty insecure about it. I don't actually know why in my brain it was tightly linked to only database access. It makes perfect sense to apply it to other types of data retrieval too. Thanks for the insights!

Yea that's exactly what I am seeing also, but I'm open to the idea that I am missing something.
Some languages have separate inheritance and subtyping relations, or have inheritance and no static typing, but yes, this statement makes it clear that the author is either astoundingly clueless, intentionally dishonest, or joking.
I agree.

But does the process of institutionalizing those teachings not go against those exact teachings themselves? At least for Christianity?

The point of the Grand Inquisitor chapter revolves around a fictional situation where Jesus returned to Earth during the inquisition, and posits the idea that Jesus was exactly the type of individual that the church would have been willing to purge during that time, criticizing the institution and the free will that is exchanged for structure and institution.
Note that they indicate they're removing the script, not the registry value the script sets. This means bypassnro should continue to work.

Show HN: AI Agent with Dockerfile-Defined Context
https://www.syntix.pro/

Syntix is an AI code interpreter. It allows you to ask an AI programming questions, and have it answer back in a Dockerfile-defined container, or in one of 8 environments supported out of the box: NodeJS, NodeTS, Python, C#, Java, Go, Rust, pgSQL.

The AI will automatically install any needed dependencies and execute the generated code in its own environment - with full internet access.

This gives the AI instant feedback on its code, circumventing hallucinations.

You can also upload files and folders to the execution environment for processing. The current size limit is about 7GB.

I use fly.io's Fly Machines for the execution environments, as well as for the app's back-end.

Here's a demonstration of the Syntix AI agent fetching the top Hacker News post of the day, based on a user request:

Understand people. With all the talk in the news about the current Disney Snow White, got out the DVD for the old Disney Cinderella: Yup, have learned enough about people to see that the many plot events are not just incidental for the drama but examples of deep fundamentals about people. In particular understand what's important for good family formation.

Understand human societies, e.g., cultures, religions, economies, politics, war and peace.

Understand academics: E.g., a lot of academics that has done research that results in good tools to enable "Make good new things" has deep contempt for doing that.

Understand, say, math, physical science, biology, medical science, nature, technology, fine arts.

Ah ok, that seems more sensible. My understanding was it would pretty much literally make screenshots and then run OCR on them. If there is enough smartness to only run OCR on the parts that have no text information, it makes more sense. (Though as we see here, even that approach can be too much)

The Incas had bronze, but didn't take full advantage of its use in weapons because they didn't have metal armor or shields, which are uncommon in Bronze Age cultures because copper is much less plentiful than iron. There was no time to redesign their weapons to fight armor in the middle of an invasion.

Sure, bronze pikes would have stopped the cavalry, but you need years if not centuries of mounted warfare to figure that out.

> no way, test-only code paths should never reach prod, and code that ships should never even know that testing is a thing that happens.

What's your reasoning for this?
As a counter-example, the hardware you are using right now almost certainly has test points throughout the circuitry.
Beyond all the uses the test points get during development and manufacturing,
they are essential for repair and re-calibration after being sold to the customer and put into production.
I game using Steam on Pop_OS![1] with a home-built AMD machine and, while I know there are some background processes (Proton) that run to establish and maintain a compatibility layer, it's nearly seamless to me as a user. The most I really see is a progress bar that appears before some games where Vulcan shaders have to be pre-rendered. In my experience everything needed for Windows-native games to run on Linux is handled automatically, without any configuration, runtime flags, or anything else.

Early on I consulted ProtonDB to see if my games would run, but honestly now I don't even look at it any more. While YMMV depending on the games you play, I haven't encountered really any major bugs and zero crashes. The most I found was some strange shadow texture rendering artifacting in Baldur's Gate 3, but it was contained to a particular part of a particular map.

A decade ago it was kind of rough, but now? I am never going back to Windows for gaming. Playing games on Linux is light-years better than what it used to be. If you're curious but haven't tried it because you had bad experiences in the past, I'd encourage anyone to give it another go.

I’ve been a Windows user for 30 years and a Mac user for 15 years so I see both sides of this. I think you can set up a new Mac without an Apple ID but an Apple ID has been a core part of the Apple ecosystem for so long that it feels silly not to use one. At the same time with Microsoft attempting to do the same thing it just feels janky and something I’d much rather skip.

> Microsoft doesn't want me as a customer

Well, assuming you're right, when do you walk away?

We always come upon this inflection point where profits are prioritized over user experience. And users always threaten to leave, but never actually have any leverage. The Windows users are all invested in their Valorant and Microsoft Store purchases the same way Apple pundits can't threaten to walk away with $1,000+ invested in the software ecosystem. Microsoft doesn't want you, but you sure seem to want Microsoft.

If we accept that commercialized operating systems objectively suck, we can skip this whinging. There aren't any engineers at Microsoft waiting for their pager to light up so they can stop making bad software.
Well, I can absolutely get behind the statement that the tariffs don't promote peace.

FWIW, this was a real question I had, I wasn't among the downvoters. The part that I disagree with is that this is a deliberate/planned precursor to war. Donald Trump views his life (and presidency) as a series of deals and 'hard' negotiating tactics. War would be a failure of that.

His methods are misguided and a caricature of actual negotiation.

> Many vendors choose to house their products in Amazon’s vast warehouses. But the longer the goods remain unsold, the more a company is charged to store them. It is eventually cheaper to dispose of the goods, especially stock from overseas, than to continue storing the stock.

It is about vendors who remove their merchandise from stock because nobody will buy it.

The wheel is technology, metallurgy is technology, irrigation is technology.

Technology is vital to a functioning society.

There's certainly more debate to be had whether various bits of modern technology are net positive or net negative, but even still I personally believe modern technology is mostly neutral to very good for humanity in a vacuum and it is other forces like modern capitalism that bend it toward being harmful.

eg. Social media is very clearly having a net negative impact on modern society, but I don't believe that would still be true if it wasn't driven by algorithms created to maximize ad revenue above all other concerns.

And obviously there is some inherent coupling of modern technology and capitalism that isn't avoidable, but I don't think capitalism on its own is wholly bad, its the slavish cult-like worship of it as the only way to do things that causes it to be so destructive.
