I am not sure how that is a reaction to the grandparent, but we also don't fall into the same us-versus-them trap that divides the US. I think most people in the EU agree on several basic principles regardless of their political preferences:

- If you get sick, costs should be covered by universal health insurance.

- If you lose your job, there should be a safety net.

- When you retire, there should be a decent pension.

- Everybody should have access to good education.

- We don't want war.

- We don't want to be powerless against megacorps.

In other words, there is much more that is binding us than what is dividing us (in my country, pretty much every party from extreme left to populist right agrees on these things). For those things that we don't agree on, we should find compromises.
In my experience it is the other way round. The reason people are on Twitter is because politicians are there. If they move the journalists and politically interested will quickly follow.
If you don't know what got others in trouble, you'll be overly careful with your own words.

Most worrying is the fact that causing other "distress" with words is a crime. If I point out something you do that I find morally bankrupt, it _should_ cause you distress.

So, ban cities east of the coast from shipping their homeless people to liberal cities?

I don’t know how much you have traveled up and down the western states, but I have driven from Seattle to LA a few times in the past few years and SF does not have a monopoly on poverty and tent cities. It’s bad everywhere.

Love to hear your thoughts on how the city of SF is supposed to stop this.
> "We want our entrepreneurs starting businesses and then staying here," said Lurie. "That means streamlining permitting, making it easier to start a restaurant, a bar, or a startup."

I really wish the emphasis was on high-tech manufacturing startups, and the degree of automation isn't really that important. Prototype shops, specialty manufacturing, etc. should all be encouraged.
> The Democratic Party has an enormous communication problem. They don't know how to connect.

I am not from the US, but I perceive the same problem in my country of residence (and in other countries I know people from).

The main issue I see is that politics became a sort of entertainment. So a more serious politician (the adults in the room, so to say), communicate in a fairly dry, and even careful tone. And that happens because politics is supposed to be a dry and boring subject.

Budgets, policies, et cetera and so forth, all those are dministrative administrative, not something to be decided with emotions.

But that doesn't lend itself well to communication. So what people pay attention to is the far right buffon yelling about white replacement or such bullshit.
dbus is a big player there, but that is available for FreeBSD for the packages that need it (desktop environments etc). Systemd isn't really that important in that sense. After all there are many Linux distros that don't use it and things work fine there too.

But yeah, BSD is not Linux. So obviously things are going to be different. For example for plug & play it has its own devd for USB devices, and it can be configured easily.

If you'd port over all the Linuxisms like dbus, systemd, cgroups etc, then you basically end up with... Linux. What is the point in running BSD then?

It's a bit akin to people saying that every Linux should be more standardised (e.g. standard package manager, standard desktop), otherwise "the year of linux on the desktop" will never happen. But all these quirky desktops and distros are there because people have different needs and they don't want those to be watered down. The ecosystem as a whole doesn't matter to them. The same thing goes for BSD. I'm not using an OS with a desktop marketshare of literally 0.01% because I care about it becoming a mainstream desktop :) I also super duper hate the ideology behind GNOME so I would never use that, if it were the only option then I would just have to leave.

PS: I have no issue with things like dbus being available in ports but definitely not in the core system.
I’m an average software engineer and I can’t remember a time where I took a job I didn’t negotiate the salary on. Companies that refused to negotiate were the last offers I’d consider and I end up not taking their offers. I was often better paid than my peers. And my professional accomplishments are far from exceptional, I’ve never worked for any companies you’d know, I have gaps in my CV.

If by “classic” you mean “using a language-dependent deserialization mechanism that is wildly unsafe”, I suppose. The surprising part is that Parquet is a fairly modern format with a real schema that is nominally language-independent. How on Earth did Java class names end up in the file format? Why is the parser willing to parse them at all? At most (at least by default), the parser should treat them as predefined strings that have semantics completely independent of any actual Java class.

Musk is already (frequently) raging against EU — the topics include freedom of speech and immigration… and calling the foreign minister of Poland “a little man”.

You're not discussing in good faith. The performance comparison was to the "parse to the end" variant that you suggested as equivalent. The natural way you implement that (again, very simple) algorithm wants the early exit, yes, for obvious performance reasons.

We're done. You're "not convinced" my way is simpler because you're not willing to give ground at all. This is a dumb thing to argue about. Just look at some historical parsers for similar languages, I guess. Nothing I've said here is controversial at all.
Every city has an area you don't go to. Sfs just happens to be right in the middle and next to the major tourist areas and down town. The rest of city is nothing like the tenderloin.
Anyone who has read books for classes in high school and above knows that even classics are routinely fucked with by publishers. Even early in the work's history. I remember even in middle school someone would invariably end up with a different publisher's edition of a book for summer reading or whatnot and we'd find changes.

Unless the book is specifically declared to be the original text - and it may have to specify which original text - they're going to be edited.

However, in electronic form it should be possible to include both in one file, or two files with the original in a repo branch once all the document structure stuff has been added. That text will never change, so merging formatting-only changes should be pretty painless.
This is not consensus. There are lots of anomalies in what we observe in the cosmos. Here someone links two of those to a speculation about extra dimensions. It would get interesting if they have predictions that can be checked.

A promising new theory should fit known observations, explain previously unexplained phenomenon, and predict something testable. That will be difficult to judge as a layperson.
Unfair business practices and quasi monopolies (Microsoft), waled gardens (apple), and in the past 15 years advanced data analysis let's those companies exactly calculate how far they can make their users "suffer/bleed/annoy" and stop just right before the breaking point.

I feel like those graphs and similar arguments are always trotted out, and they are an important piece, but there is more to the world than disposable income, and only using those stats completely ignores some very real negatives. You hint at it with "unless you really scope down to particular losers in a world of mostly winners", but I think you're vastly underestimating that:

1. Wealth inequality. Wealth inequality has exploded over the past few decades, and even if the median has gone up, the effects of widening wealth inequality can be very bad for society. First, as Charlie Munger once said, "The world is not driven by greed, but envy." Even if you're doing a little bit better, if everyone else is doing a ton better, this leads to you feeling like you're doing a lot worse. The rise of authoritarian politics in the West I think can be directly attributed by large swaths of society feeling left behind and like they are "getting screwed".

2. Related to the above, but finite resources, most especially land, are always vacuumed up by the wealthiest in society, regardless of any other level of incomes. So when there is a lot of wealth inequality, it can become prohibitively expensive to own land in any remotely desirable area, and this has huge negative societal effects (happy to go into this point more if you disagree).

3. The flip side of "optimized global supply chains" is incredibly brittle supply chains in the face of black swan events. Covid was a taste of this, though I think the global supply chain actually help up remarkably well for how enormous an impact Covid had. I think a better example would be something like chip production in Taiwan, which if it disappeared tomorrow would be absolutely devastating for the world economy.

4. Some countries that are now leaders in the world economy, like South Korea, had an extremely protectionist stance for decades in order to allow crucial industries to develop and not be undercut by cheap imports. I certainly don't think it's the only reason, but one reason Africa struggles so much is because they are flooded with cheap goods (or free goods in the guise of "charity") that prevent native industries from developing.
Why are you disagreeing with me while proving my point?

Annoys the fsck out of me too. Hmm... Just occurred to me: What if one copied the correct .cpl file into the C:\Windows\System32 directory of a Win 10/11 box and just ran it (if nothing else, from the command line)?

Probably won't help. :-( AFAICT, the Control Panel applets just put the values you specify into the correct place in the Registry, and the latest versions of Windows just don't care what's there any more. Source: I used to edit the Windows Border Width value directly with RegEdit, but after a while it stopped using that value (and even started setting it back IIRC).

Some of this advice is wrongheaded. Consider array indexing: usually, an out of bounds access indicates a logic error and should fail fast to abort the problem so it doesn't go further off the rails. Encouraging people to use try-things everywhere just encourage them to paper over logic bugs and leads to less reliable software in the end. Every generation has to learn this lesson anew through pain.

> The economical fallout would be extensive.

There was likely economic fallout many would call extensive when we mandated equal wages for minorities and an end to child labor, and yet businesses soldier on. Turns out, if you’re selling products people need, momentary disruptions and changing market conditions generally don’t mean you suddenly cannot conduct business.

> Think about product placement in movies or television, banners in big sporting events etc. Who'd pay for that? The state? With whose money?

One of sport fans biggest complaints is the overwhelming number of ads and the overbearing, bloated organizations behind pro tier sports. It seems like bankrupting a lot of them and letting teams return to public goods funded by municipalities would be a huge step forward into preserving sports as a social event, not a profit seeking venture.

And it’s not like pro sports aren’t already benefitting from taxpayers left and right. We could just get rid of the money men up top and let things settle where they may. Sure we may not get blockbuster sports events anymore, but maybe more people could then afford to actually attend?

Show HN: YouTubeGO – Open-source YouTube/audio downloader built in Python
Hey HN,

I've been working on a cross-platform, fully open-source YouTube/media downloader called *YouTubeGO*.

Built with *Python + PyQt5*, it provides:
- MP4/MP3 downloads using `yt-dlp`
- Playlist support
- System tray integration
- Download queue + scheduler
- Drag & drop support
- FFmpeg detection for audio extraction
- Modular code structure (core/ui/tests)

Why I built it:
Most alternatives are either Electron-based (bloated) or CLI-only. I wanted something lightweight, native, and clean that just works on Linux, Windows and macOS.

I'd say most of the recent AI model progress has been on price.

A 4-bit quant of QwQ-32B is surprisingly close to Claude 3.5 in coding performance. But it's small enough to run on a consumer GPU, which means deployment price is now down to $0.10 per hour. (from $12+ for models requiring 8x H100)
No, the Rust community almost universally understands "safe" as referring to memory safety, as per Rust's documentation, and especially the unsafe book, aka Rustonomicon [1]. In that regard, Safe Rust is safe, Unsafe Rust is unsafe, and C++ is also unsafe. I don't think anyone is saying "C++ is all unsafe."

You might be talking about "correct", and that's true, Rust generally favors correctness more than most other languages (e.g. Rust being obstinate about turning a byte array into a file path, because not all file paths are made of byte arrays, or e.g. the myriad string types to denote their semantics).

> Yes, party platforms evolve, but this kind of sudden reversal is still remarkable.

I don't think there's been a Democratic platform that's advocated increasing tariffs or trade barriers in living memory.

Most have outright called for free trade, though in recent years also "fair" trade which meant trying to push for worker protection/environmental/etc laws and end foreign subsidies and barriers onto other countries to level the playing field rather than increasing trade barriers.

There is a more protectionist wing of the Democratic party that has advocated for increasing trade barriers (or in some cases, ceasing trading altogether), but despite sometimes being quite loud, they've never had a majority.

It was the American left that were anti-globalization, like with the protests WTO conference in 1999. Their flip has been... weird.
Brookings Institute has a good plot showing how much federal spending is being cut by this administration:

While others certainly have a financial interest in it, it is not publicly traded and Musk solely controls it. For instance, he just unilaterally sold it to another of his privately held companies, xAI, for a valuation he made up.

Musk's privately held companies, and to a large degree Tesla as well, are all things he treats as effectively one big company that he controls; he'll take employees from one to another at will, he sells them to each other or spins them out at will in all stock transactions, etc.

The EU regulations allow seeing through such sham company boundaries that are all controlled by a single entity, and treating them as a single company.
