This. The article suggestion will make parsers need lookahead support instead of simple state machine.

Is "key1" array of ["value1", "key2"] ? or string "value1"? We can't now until we find ':'.
It's per package overall, surely...

Not per item within the package. Per shipping item.
> all of our communication channels are corrupted by companies who want to make us buy stuff

This is simply not true. You can buy or rent a server right now, run any kind of communication software on it that you want, and use that to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, 100% ad-free. There are even pre-existing software stacks, like Mastodon, that make setting this up trivial.

I honestly find it disturbing that you don't appear to realise that you are asking for control over someone else's communication platform.

Bloody hell. “What if we put random idiots in charge of massive, critical government functions” is a hell of an experiment.
Yes, but Dart is only a single-threaded application language, while Swift can be a proper systems language, something between C++ and Rust, in terms of usability and safety. Golang killer, when it comes to high-level systems programming.

Beautifully made! Which gutenberg.org would be updated with this design & approach!
As an alternative to this, I quite like https://squoosh.app/ - Also works on-device, but additionally it's open source, supports multiple output formats, and exposes all the speed / quality / transparency options.
Totally, don’t use .d for ssh. The configuration is not that complicated. If it is, you’re doing it wrong.
While mostly agree, they do have some questionable practices. Like pretty much guaranteeing a middle seat if you don't reserve one, except if you purchase "avoid middle seat" from the popup right before checkout. Or deliberately breaking up random seat allocation for group booking, even if the seats are for an adult and a small child.

They do offer free reserved seating options though for certain group bookings, so I'm not complaining much. I could even arrange things through customer service chat with them.
Indeed, in Europe it's totally normal to drink during the day, or well, near constantly. Probably a lot more so than in the US.
That information is rather buried, isn't it? The average UK voter won't actually know how the law is being applied, beyond taking the BBC's word when it summarizes something, unless they, what, file a FOI request for every action ID#?

rust beginner here : how do you automatically remap the error to another type using ? operator ?
I wouldn't consider that answer even close to a steel man. This has turned into the reddit threads where the OP asks for the opinion of people who have a specific experience or background, and all the repliers who chime in write about how much they hate those people.
Is your veil weighted?

It is not equally likely you will benefit from advertising as it is likely you will be harmed by advertising under a veil of ignorance scenario.
> how to police the boundaries

Any existing policy inevitably has a gray area, no matter how elaborate it is. That's okay if the author didn't cover corner cases in a short essay.

> You don't just magically know what to buy.

Knowing what you need is not magic. I don't remember much advertising lately that would tell me how a good can satisfy my existing needs. Mostly, they are trying to make me feel I need something I didn't need before
Martin has an in-memory tile cache, which probably makes a difference: https://github.com/maplibre/martin/pull/1105. BBOX caches to a file instead.
I don't know about the US or Germany but in the UK a frequent complaint is landlords extracting their pound of flesh. An owner-run restaurant or even retail outlet has very little negotiating power against these people. Anything they do to increase trade gets mopped up at the next rent review.

I'd love to know who the assholes who flag perfectly relevant, useful and well-sourced and debate-worthy posts like these are?

Is there perhaps some coterie of Trump-supporting, Musk-loving orangutans on HN that come out of the woodwork selectively and explicitly to flag content that's in no way outside moderation standards? That aside, the very fact that random readers, for entirely opaque, possibly idiotic and mendacious reasons of their own, can just flag any post is absurd on a site like this that likes to pat itself on the back for supposedly being open to broad, reasoned discussion of many, possibly controversial subjects.
The article and the analyses in it seem to have overlooked a couple of things:

- Decline in quality of food: As far as I know, pan pizza in the 90s at Pizza Hut (that the article talks about) had the dough made in house; modern versions have reheated frozen dough. I feel like this is an important distinction. If I'm just reheating frozen pizza, I can do that at home.

- Decline in quality of service: The article mentions this in passing (server knowing the order of a frequent customer) but doesn't go any deeper. In my experience, a lot of the servers (not just at chains, but everywhere) these days are younger people who seem pretty indifferent to the customer experience. Certainly I don't think that any servers at a Pizza Hut will remember someone's order in 2025.

The factors I mention above are hard to measure, especially over time. But I do feel like they have contributed to the decline of chains to some degree as well as things like orders to go, did delivery apps, etc.
> As per the article, of the some 12,000 arrests or warning per recent years, only some 1,100 resulted in a sentence.

That's actually a troubling statistic. It implies that the police are throwing their weight around on flimsy legal grounds -- as an intimidation tactic -- or are coercing "settlements" outside the court system.
Probably the most stressful portion of my career was when I was doing mandatory pair programming in a shop where the manager came from Thoughtworks.

Funny enough, the two guys who pushed for it never did any pairing.

The CEO put the kibosh on it when he noticed the staff was not only unproductive but also massively unhappy.
As the linked comment says, it's up to the individual contributor to inform PG of any corrections; SE does not do so as a matter of course (at least, that was the case when I last contributed).
Would you consider something like the Ikea cafeteria to be someways similar?
The shadow libraries such as Anna's Archive are a treasure trove of old books, and you're not breaking any imaginary law by downloading old books which are out of copyright.
I agree with almost all your points, but this is just false:

> Products need marketing. You don't just magically know what to buy.

We don’t need marketing, we need information. Objective information, that would be easier to come by in the absence of manipulative marketing.
What advertising should be made illegal?

The spyware and bunch of blatant lies part?

Or the new product discovery part?

You're doing a big assumption that people are averse to reading documentation.

You are likely downvoted because you prefer to make your opponents look irrational so you can easily defeat them.

Tearing down a straw man is not a welcome discussion tactic around here. Maybe that can help you.

What matters is solicitation, which is fairly easy to evidence. Running successful entertainment business while pretending to be a consumer advice business sounds pretty hard, since you still can’t take money for product endorsement, you can’t SEO for your real purpose, and you can’t promote your real purpose. And somewhat pointless, as you’re running a paid subscription service either way, so your funny video site would probably get more customers if it could claim to be a funny video site.
Yeah, that’s a good example. The newer milk bars have a similar vibe.
looks like it only takes in public repos currently, maybe think about extending it to users' private repos asw?

Ultimately we all end up reading the manual. I'd still prefer if I didn't have to remember how a certain C stdlib function works vs. what seems intuitive.

But that's a lost cause with a lot of people. They'll happily point out how "intuitive" differs among different groups of people and all that, merrily missing the point on purpose.

Oh well. At least I found out without locking my self out of my servers.
For so many comments in this thread saying that it’s impossible to make all advertising illegal, we can certainly start with making personalised advertising illegal with all its invasive practices.

The fire retardant ... actually does retard the fire, right. A tiny bit of extra toxicity in trade for much less stuff getting burned may be worth it.

If you're looking for some negative on anything, you will find it. Always. The question should be if it's a net positive or not.

In reality people are just looking for something bad, so they can find something that was wrong/against the law, so they can blame them, so they can get money from them.
The web is becoming professionalised: if you want to publish user-generated content on the web, you will need to moderate all of that content. The Internet is going the same way as radio: for most people, you'll be tuning in to regulated, commercial services. For enthusiasts, there will be a separate space where you can do whatever you want, but you can't offer laissez-faire services on behalf of the great unwashed. It's a great loss of theoretical freedom, but it'll have no impact on anyone's real life.

Indeed, in Europe...

In some parts of Europe. In other parts it is very much frowned upon. Then there is the generational shift, even in countries where it used to be the norm to drink at lunch, people under 30-40 just aren't drinking like that any more, and might very well frown upon people that do.
Eh, maybe? But English grammar is consensus based. This is arguably bad grammar because people not knowing the cliché of "there there" had trouble understanding the intent, not because it's "wrong" under some hard citeable rules.

Moreover I think you could argue the author is using the phrase as an abstract noun. Consider:

That there's a solidity to it.

That there's a "there" there to it.

The first turns naturally to my ear; the second is a bit forced but works IMO.
> you open a ticket and Oracle has to provide a fix (or at least a workaround) based on the SLA.

Have you received reasonable help in reasonable time that way? How big was the investment on your company's side to make that happen?

It was a meme on every DBA team I worked with.
You are defining marketing as manipulative. In fact, marketing is just "bringing a product to market". For example, it includes having booths at a trade show. The line between objective information and "puff" is impossible to draw. I googled "strollers" and got:

Joolz strollers with ergonomic design, manoeuvrability, compactness, and storage space. compare and choose your favourite Joolz pushchair model.

Is this manipulation or information?
Question for the author, who is here in the comments: for clarification, to what extent is the article a deep dive into the OS itself (e.g., reverse engineering) vs. a deep dive into the extant literature on the OS?
I never managed a fleet. I mean I occasionally manage up to 30 instances, does that count?

Either way, my notion about doing it properly is to have a set of scripts (ansible/terraform?) that rebuild the configuration from templates and rewrite, restart everything. Afaiu, there's no "let's turn that off by rm-ing and later turn it on again by cat<<EOF-ing", cause there's no state database that could track it, unless you rely on [ -e $path ], which feels not too straightforward for e.g. state monitoring.

(I do the same basically, but without ansible. Instead I write a builder script and then paste its output into the root shell. Poor man's ansible, but I'm fine.)

So as I understand it, these dirs are only really useful for manual management, not for fleets where you just re-apply your "provisioning", or what's the proper term, onto your instances, without temporary modifications. When you have a fleet, any state that is not in the "sources" becomes a big problem very quickly. And if you have "sources", there's no problem of turning section output on and off. For example when I need a change, I rebuild my scripts and re-paste them into corresponding instances. This ensures that if I lose any server to crash, hw failure, etc, all I have is to rent another one and right-click a script into its terminal.

So I believe that gp has a point, or at least that I don't get the rationale that replies to gp suggest itt. Feels not that important for automatic management.
There are an infinite number of reasons why a charge might not get up. Complainant decides not to proceed, prosecutors decline to run it due to insufficient evidence, or the police screw up and let the statute of limitations lapse.
I joined MSFT ~25 years ago and worked there for 10 years. It was a great place to work. Everybody (in Redmond) had their offices, great outdoor areas for walking and meeting people, great conference areas, decent and relatively affordable places to live nearby (some within walking distance), some of the best Engineers in the world etc. I don't think there is a company life like MSFT used to have anywhere on Earth nowadays. :(
Besides ethernet cables providing more stability to your network connection than WiFi, it isn't mentioned in the article. Not many people know about this: most houses have coaxial cable lined throughout. If your router is located in a different location in the house, you can use the coaxial cable to help create a network. You need two MoCA adapters (coaxial to ethernet) on both sides (one at the router/switch/gateway and another at your computer). Connect it all up… bingo, bango, bongo, and you got stable and fast internet! This is how I have the most stable connection in my house :)
That's quite interesting. Do you have any resource to recommend for OpenVMS or Mach architecture overview, or in general OS architecture tradeoffs and designs?

I kinda disagree with the conclusion. Punctuation is important to humans, it makes it more parsable/readable. I just accept that in a multi-line context they are not so useful, because the newline acts like a kind of punctuation. So I could make them optional and provide some recommendations: use them in a single line, and don't use them when a newline follows.
Looking at what science tells us about the world, the left seems to be correct, while the right seems to often believe things that violate observations about the world for the sake of doctrine.

Calling facts "playing into the leftists' agenda" is a problem of our shared political compass.

LLMs and humans need to do more work to implement doublethink, i.e. claiming non-truths and actually believing them to fit with a right-wing crowd for the sake of survival in it.
EffeTune: A web-based real-time audio effect processor
I am very skeptical that it's primarily caused by the focus on Intel CPUs. FreeBSD already fell into obscurity way before RISC-V. And even though they missed the ARM router/appliance boat, Linux already overtook FreeBSD when people were primarily using Linux for x86 servers and (hobbyist) desktops. The Netcraft has confirmed: BSD is dying Slashdot meme was from the late 90ies or early 2000s. Also, if this was the main reason, we would all be using OpenBSD or NetBSD.

IMO it's really a mixture of factors, some I can think of:

- BSD projects were slowed down by the AT&T lawsuit in the early 90ies.

- FreeBSD focused more on expert users, whereas Linux distributions focused on graphical installers and configuration tools early on. Some distributions had graphical installers at the end of the 90ies. So, Linux distributions could onboard people who were looking for a Windows alternative much more quickly.

- BSD had forks very early on (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSDi). The cost is much higher than multiple Linux distributions, since all BSDs maintain their own kernel and userland.

- The BSDs (except BSDi) were non-profits, whereas many early Linux distributions were by for-profit companies (Red Hat, SUSE, Caldera, TurboLinux). This gave Linux a larger development and marketing budget and it made it easier to start partnerships with IBM, SAP, etc.

- The BSDs projects were organized as cathedrals and more hierarchical, so made it harder for new contributors to step in.

- The BSD projects provided full systems, whereas in Linux distributions would piece together systems. This made Linux development messier, but allowed quicker evolution and made it easier to adapt Linux for different applications.

- The GPL put a lot more pressure on hardware companies to contribute back to the Linux kernel.

Besides that there is probably also a fair amount of randomness involved.
There's a 5 minute timer you can effectively guess all permutations in that time. Ignore the timer. The only real limitation is coming from you.

There needs to be some limit like how wordle limits the number of guesses. The timer is good in that it can put pressure in especially considering how simple the game is. The long length means almost everyone has enough time
> the definition is clear enough.

It really isn't though. There's so many different forms that we can't reduce it to "I know it when I see it" territory and depend on case-by-case enforcement.

Do we ban outdoor billboards? Product placement? Content marketing? Public relations? Sponsor logos on sports uniforms? Brand logos on retail clothing? Mailing lists?

I do love the idea, but doubt its feasibility. Implementation would have to be meticulous, and I expect the advertising industry would always be one step ahead in an endless race of interpretation. We can still try to curtail the most disruptive forms though, we don't have to destroy all advertising at once to make a positive difference.
I already get those benefits from focused pre-coding discussions and pull request reviews. They allow for high-quality decisions, involve more perspectives, and are asynchronous.

Pair programming might help when training juniors, since they need that level of hand-holding. But for experienced devs, constant back-and-forth while typing mostly just adds friction.
The real reason why adventure games had moon logic puzzles is because if they did not the games could be completed under 10 hours.
And adventure games did not have replay value- unlike C&C, Quake or Tomb Raider.
In each individual case, sure. But when literally >90% of arrests don't lead to convictions, that's indicative of an overall trend which says something about the nature and utility of those arrests.
Quite worrysome they think that the screen not auto-locking after a time out is a small issue, but not auto-suspending is a big issue. That might be the case for laptops, but for desktops I'd say it's the opposite.
Not auto-locking is a security incident.
As far as I know Standard gets their raw ebooks from Project Gutenberg which has a vastly greater collection of public domain works. What they're doing is typesetting them for the average reader. But if all you're looking for is just the content, Gutenberg is the place to look for ethically clean copies.

Hardly a corner case. It's such an obvious question that the failure to cover it means the author isn't serious.

Knowing what you need is not magic, but knowing which products might satisfy it is not automatic. Advertising targeting, which people quite reasonably find intrusive, exists because advertisers desperately want to find people who may potentially want to buy their product.
