It's very difficult for a broad based record/replay software like rr to exist for macOS in my opinion. macOS system interfaces are quite basic in terms of functionality compared to Linux and increasingly locked down.

rr uses many advanced features of Linux `ptrace`. Compare `man ptrace` on Linux with that on macOS for example and you will notice that Linux gives a lot of features to `ptrace` that macOS simply does not.

There are a large number of other features required for practical record and replay -- I dont think macOS simply provides them also.

It's probably possible to build _some_ record/replay system on macOS with constraints, restrictions, workarounds and compromises -- never say never as they say. But I don't think it can be as capable/generic as rr on Linux.
Not stupid at all, especially if only one part of physics exists and not quantum physics.
That's very good to know, I thought it seemed a bit too complex to be, but I wasn't sure.

Push notifications. Apps have them on by default, websites have them off by default. 100% of Temu's valuation is because they pester users all the time with nudges to buy stuff, which works.

Normies don't turn off notifications. Over the last few years all my relatives have picked up smart watches, (thanks to cell carriers upselling them hard during phone replacements) and in any given conversation at family events they'll be glancing at their wrist every 100 seconds.

Despite your assertions that someone who thinks that lacking privacy online is indicative of a specific hallucinatory mental illness, it may surprise you to learn that plenty of people lacking that mental illness think similarly.

It's less a function of mental illness or time spent online, and more simply pointing out the old-as-writing state of affairs where companies will do whatever they can do to you to make more money. See the "Complaint tablet to Ea-nāṣir" for a timeline of this.

It is not hallucinatory to observe that companies take advantage of people given the opportunity to do so, and it is not indicative of mental illness to be unhappy about being on the receiving end.

> It has its own parliament.

which isn't sovereign

it's a glorified county council, and could be abolished by the Parliament of the United Kingdom at any point

this is all clear as crystal in the Scotland Act 1998, which created the (new) Scottish Parliament

it's acknowledged on the Scottish Parliament's own website: https://www.parliament.scot/about/how-parliament-works/power...

and even the Scottish nationalists acknowledge it (because they don't like it and want it to change)
You are confused.

You seem to think Reddit Inc wants anything but control over the users. They are not at all interested in discussion or being a social network. If they could achieve their real goal without all the annoying comments, they would shut those off instantly.

Reddit is a narrative pushing machine first and foremost. The money they make on advertising - IS NOT - from the one of two ads you see per page.

The Reddit stock price is not at all reflective of their tech. It’s based on ability to push thoughts to users.
A good idea and one that Elon Musk tries to do. But he chose to go into politics too. Now his every move (even every past move) seems to be under scrutiny and politicized. Of course, this isn't the first time this has happened, but it is unfortunate that human behavior today is so.

> A function a->b is a container for bs

Anecdotally, this is one of those things that's trivially true to some people, but really hard for other people to internalize. I think it's why the "container" can lead people astray- if you haven't internalized the idea of functions as being indexed by their argument, it's a really mind twisting thing to try to make that leap.
> Bagholders will be retirees who have no recourse when 99% of these schemes fail, while the hyenas laugh all the way to the bank.

And this is why I'm glad enough Germany has a public pension scheme that actually works and not some 401k crap. The last attempt to introduce something stock based here ("Riesterrente") ended up being an utter scam that made people distrust in the stock market ever since - and that's how things should be.

Stock markets should be for investors looking to raise investment capital to further the growth of their companies from other professionals, derivatives/futures markets should be heavily restricted (e.g. agricultural futures for a long time used to be reserved in trade for farmers and wholesale-scale buyers - nowadays the majority of trade is being made by speculative free-loaders), and pensions should be backed by the government because chances are higher there is still a government in 40 years than whatever hot tech startup is the utter hots these days.
I think this is the wrong question when scoping to this problem, as governance and politics are not static. A favorable country to operate out of today is perhaps not favorable tomorrow. I think the better question is: "How do you operate an open source project with global contributors in a way that makes you censorship resistant?"

You should have no single point of failure, folks should be signing their commits (cryptographic integrity), build the merkle tree, make it broadly consumable, etc. If a POP gets nuked, you bring up a replacement and keep on chuggin', just like if you were The Pirate Bay, Archive.today, Libgen, Z-Library, etc. Some similarities to how the AT Protocol is structured (Commits->PDS->Firehose->AppView) [1]. Commits go in, views of the project are available globally, the data corpus is stored in a durable, distributed fashion.

You’re missing the point (which seems to be a common thread on this) so before I spend too much time constantly reiterating: 1) What do you think is the goal of NASA and 2) What do you think is fundamentally different about CCP?
No, not providing concrete examples is a weakness.

You're awfully arrogant in making a judgement about my empathy... if you want to make this personal.

Or maybe you can justify why people need to be able to select menu labels in the first place? That's not standard on any OS I've ever used, so it's up to the person who wants to change things to justify why.

Maybe be less judgmental of people here on HN, and contribute something factual instead? I at least gave a factual account of my personal experience, which is a data point. Describing one's experience isn't egoism.
AI Is Learning Taste
Hey folks, I wrote a short blog on something I’ve been thinking about—what happens when AI starts to understand taste?

Everyone talks about AI replacing coders and writers.

But what if the real shift is when it starts to replace taste?
On many of the tools, it would personally be preferable if the overall luminosity of the photo remained the same after they're applied.

Generally, all its going to result in is needing to re-brighten the photo back to some "normal" luminosity after the noise is applied. Brightness / Contrast in "image editor of choice (or financial availability)"

"Dust", especially, tends to severely darken the image on every setting other than "screen".

Generally, cool that it's done totally in browser, and better than what's available on a lot of phone apps.

Photoshop's "texturizer" from decades ago would be something else to possible look at. Making a quick "canvas" look to the image, and similar "noise".

I'm use Linux as my OS for a long time, but now I need to use Windows at my job. So, I'm trying to bring my Windows usage experience as close as possible to so familiar and common on Linux.
the "lambda the ultimate" papers and the birth of scheme was a loong time ago, so it grates on my ears to hear this topic presented as "an optimization". Yes, it is sometimes an optimization a compiler can make, but the idea is much better presented as a useful semantic of a language.

in the same way that passing parameters to a subfunction "creates" a special set of local variables for the subfunction, the tail recursion semantic updates this set of local variables in an especially clean way for loop semantics, allowing "simultaneous assignment" from old values to new ones.

(yes, it would be confusing with side effected C/C++ operators like ++ because then you'd need to know order of evaluation or know not to do that, but those are already issues in those languages quite apart from tail recursion)

because it's the way I learned it, I tend to call the semantic "tail recursion" and the optimization "tail call elimination", but since other people don't do the same it's somewhat pointless; but I do like to crusade for awareness of the semantic beyond the optimization. If it's an optimization, you can't rely on it because you could blow the stack on large loops. If it's a semantic, you can rely on it.

(the semantic is not entirely "clean" either. it's a bit of a subtle point that you need to return straightaway the return value of the tail call or it's not a tail call. fibonacci is the sum of the current with the next so it's not a tail call unless you somewhat carefully arrange the values you pass/keep around. also worth pointing out that all "tail calls" are up for consideration, not just recursive ones)
"Agile" works, but "Agile" is not a set of rules to follow. "Agile" is a chain of conscious decisions made by a team.

"We have sprints" is not "Agile". Neither "we use Jira", nor "we have retros".

Term "Agile" has been stolen from us, butchered and it's dead body had been turned to scarecrow. And now all those "agile couches", "agile offices", "certified scrum masters" are dancing around it's corpse.

But there are some of us, who worked in truly agile team, we witnessed it in it's glory. We remember when it was alive.

If you worship Cargo Cult, you aren't doing "Agile" despite the name. Period.
You sound like one of the author's students. Just restricting juvenile phone use to dumb phones is obviously the more feasible solution than banning or manipulating entire platforms.
This tracks with my experience in a regional state school business program about 15 years ago, only it has gotten considerably worse by the authors' description. It was horrifying to realize that these people would eventually become my manager, or worse, C-suite.

Discouraging the over-accumulation; or better yet, encouraging that the wealth--once you "make it"--is used for legacy (of the country) is the bargain in the US.

Taxes and institutions could help achieve this, but I also like how Bill Gates has been doing things; but the scale of effort like this and by the billionaire club is paltry and usually political to our collective detriment.
Registering for push notifications ought to be a protocol much simpler and lightweight, compared to this spinning up a virtual machine and running a downloaded binary for each channel of notification you wish to receive.

I agree. It’s also important to get exercise and deal with the obesity epidemic which is a great reason to promote cycling infrastructure. It’s also important to deal with the air pollution that causes elevated asthma rates for people who live near interstate freeways. And of course, the 30,000 Americans who die in car crashes every year could have been taking public transit, cycling, or walking to their destination (yes, even in the suburbs). I find that because my point is multifaceted it is very interesting!
> And in Rust? Well, let's see. Turns out monomorphization isn't all you need. Turns out that it is, in fact, occasionally useful to unify an object and its behavior in a runtime-polymorphic way. I expect yeet_expr to go through eventually too. Others are trying to stabilize (i.e. ossify) the notionally unstable ABI, just like they did to poor C++, which is now stuck with runtime pessimization because somebody is too lazy to recompile a binary from 2010.

Not to make an argument either way on your general point, but these are really bad examples for Rust if you look at the specifics:

Monomorphization was never the only option. Trait objects and vtables predate the RFC process itself. Early Rust wanted more dynamic dispatch than it eventually wound up with.

The idea of a "throw"-like operator was introduced at the same time as the `?` operator and `try` blocks: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0243-trait-based-exception-... (Okay, technically `?` was proposed one month previously.)

All the various initiatives related to stable ABI are focused on opt-in mechanisms that work like `#[repr(C)]` and `extern "C"`.

The only way to interpret these as examples of "brash young project walks back its early stridency as it ages" is if you ignore the project's actual reasoning and design choices in favor of the popular lowest-common-denominator Reddit-comment-level understanding of those choices.
That's pretty different than getting arrested and thrown in jail by government thugs for not paying up, whether you believe in the cause or not, but ok?

Even the non-member BYU tuition is subsidized and a much lower price than other comparable colleges. But really, BYU is not the best example of Mormon charity, it can only accommodate a limited number of students.
If we can all agree that cannabis is bad for the still-developing mind, and can generally get on board with the idea that kids should be kept as far away from it as possible, because it's addicting, because it causes long-term alterations to brain development, because it diminishes motivation and hijacks executive functioning networks, why is it so hard for society to consider treating smartphones, social media, and highly-immersive video games like MMORPG's, with essentially all of the same effects, the same way?

I am part of the generation that grew up with MMORPG's from early childhood (I was about 9 years old when I made my first RuneScape account), but approaching 30, I don't game at all anymore for the exact same reasons I don't touch cannabis anymore. Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, it's all the same thing for teenagers. At a neurological level, these platforms are as highly addicting and neural-network-altering as actual psychoactive pharmaceuticals, legal or otherwise.

Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology is a combination that we're not nearly as well-adapted to as we think we are.

You can download openshell and it will replace the start menu from the start menu from whatever era you want (XP, 7, 8, I think 10 too). It's open source as well
This is factual view. No matter how many layers of abstraction you put on top, the foundation is always there. Luckily we have better and better support for wasm in browsers, so it's a matter of time when this outdated stack will be replaced with solutions designed from the ground up for the task.
My wild ass guess: prices dropped, causing battery packs to get bigger and increase availability to people who may not understand or care about the risk. Additionally, with lower base cost of lithium ion batteries, you get more cheap crap that is not engineered well.

> Centrism has always meant too stupid or milquetoast to stake out a proper position.

Even when people hold views different to mine, I am careful not to ascribe this to some fundamental flaw in their character. There are lots of ways to be wrong about something that are incidental and understandable, and these apply to me as well as others.

I don't think this practice (c.f. "fundamental attribution error") is a route to truth or productive discourse.

Airliners have touted in the pandemic that planes have HEPA filtration which remove 99.95+% of particles in the air, which includes smoke particles.

Introduction to System Programming in Linux (Early Access)
I’m terrible at learning from powerpoints just by watching/listening so I would write down ppt slides word for word in lectures. I absolutely could never keep up with the lecture pace, the instructors would move on to the next slide too quickly. They were usually great lecturers, it’s just inefficient to spend the extremely precious lecture time waiting for students to copy things down.

I did finally settle on a better solution, because my professors all shared the ppt slides at least day-of for every lecture. So I downloaded the ppt onto my tablet and used a stylus to write my notes to each slide. It worked well for me
Because phone is just a box of wires, without apps it's inert.

It's easy to lose a sense of scale in a field which usually works in logarithmic scales.
