We all keep asking… and I think we all know the answer
"Of what type?"

Of the type of the messages you're sending. Which can either be an interface for multiple messages, or you can use multiple channels with one type each. I've done both. This is not an important question when actually programming in Go.

"But most importantly, channels are local to the process, so you need glue to make it networked."

This is an important consideration if you are using Go. Although I would observe that it isn't so much that "channels don't do network" as that "channels are a local tool"; e.g., we do not complain that OS mutexes are not "network capable", because they're intrinsically local. Network locking uses different solutions, and we don't really consider etcd a competitor to a local "lock" call.

But there are dozens of message busses in the world now, and Erlang's isn't really all that competitive modulo its integration.

At this point, times have shifted, and meta-progression is usually considered an aspect of modern roguelikes. There was a trend of calling them "rogue-lites" but that's faded and now games like ADOM and DCSS are "Classic roguelikes"

It's not a hard and fast rule or anything, just what I've observed in gaming discussions.

Yeah, I'm surprised by how many here are responding with weird Adobe rants. They posted fairly innocuous stuff, were attacked, and ultimately chose to abandon the platform as a result.

This sounds like a bigger indictment of the platform than anything to do with Adobe.

Or if you don't have a smartphone. Seriously, are we making owning one of these (even more) mandatory now?

If someone is travelling with someone with a severe disability, or children, do they need to include them on their smartphone? What about people who just don't want one? Or can't use one? People with a dumbphone?

Or will there be a way to travel with a boarding pass, the price for which is being submitted to extra checks and longer lines, because if it isn't made extra inconvenient more people would do that?

“This is not normal,” Ajay Rajadhyaksha, global chairman of research at Barclays, wrote in a report on Friday. Grappling for an explanation, Mr. Rajadhyaksha pointed to speculation by Asian investors who are selling in response to tariffs, as well as the possible unwinding of highly leveraged bets in the Treasury market. “Whatever the reason, right now, bond markets are in trouble,” he said.

Stop being so abrasive to everyone who disagrees with you. It's not in the spirit of HN.
> exploring an environment with unknown shapes, dangerous sharp edges,

We know the original blueprints. We can program that into a robot, along with existing known differences. Then the robot needs to just detect anything that isn't like expected and photograph it and return. After a few rounds of that you would get most of the interesting areas explored.

Currents are handled just by comparing expected return signals to what you really see.

OF course worth it is questionable.

The above fails in the general case only because generally in navigation we also have safety considerations. Your self driving car cannot run over a child no matter what. However there is much less to worry about in the Titanic. (don't confuse that with this is easy, only that if you don't worry about safety it is much easier)
Not that I would know but I'd assume it's just one of those early internet things. Like somebody decided that 6 levels of headers were good enough hence h1 through h6, and well you need to be able to distinguish them by size but also h1 shouldn't be too big so h5 and h6 being smaller than body text is a good compromise?

It's not like we had decades of UI experience then, so it would surprise me if the thought process was much deeper than that.
The US also has zero battleships, and it hasn't had any since the 1990s.
Not surprisingly because the community was populated by people who are angry that twitter changed.

As is the case with most ideological echo chambers, they devolve into struggle sessions. You find the same thing happening in the niche right-wing movement sections of twitter, it's just "this person is secretly indian/jewish" instead of "this person is secretly a racist/xyzphobe".

Twitter has the advantage of a broader range so you can escape that while bluesky is almost exclusively used based on strong ideological motivation. It's raison d'etre at this point is basically and highly political so this was bound to happen.
This seems sort of a secondary cause of our unique linguistic abilities. Afaik no other animal can use recursive grammars. Certainly not to the same extent.

Damn, I didn't know that John Young passed.
How unexpected - beautifully written! It's almost surprising that the quoted passages are so familiar - I hadn't realised how affecting they are. Whilst loving the book I can't consider Brideshead Revisited without thinking of the wonderful 1980s Granada TV adaptation. I didn't dare watch the more recent film, lest it spoil the tableaux of the original.
As I read that, "more than a screwdriver" was to make a point about how hard it is to even fulfill the requirements for "assembled in the USA". "Made in the USA" is even stricter. And they were going beyond that and claiming secure supply chains with western distribution. It did seem a little like a marketing pitch since it focused on what they did versus what the final gap really was, but apparently they sell it to the govt for that big markup. Presumably you don't want to try and sneak things past such a customer.

If you're just thinking of price, the farther down the supply chain you go the less impact of tariffs.

Even if they’re “trying”, it’s moot if the result isn’t clearly more ethical, and with the proliferation of stolen imagery on their stock image service (which they use to train their models), the ethics of their models are very much not clear.

If I saw news of a huge purge of stolen content on their stock image service with continued periodic purges afterwards (and subsequent retraining of their models to exclude said content), I might take the claim more seriously.
It's a corporation which knows that more of its users are artsy types who care about this than Adobe, which trends a little more professional. I have no idea what position the leadership personally holds but this is very much like DEI in that corporations embrace and discard it opportunistically.
The language used here ('obsolete') strongly hints at making this the primary case, with any secondary option deemed inferior. It wouldn't surprise me if using a paper boarding pass will just flag you in the system for extra checks.

That's the scary one.
1 vs I is a reading error anyone could make on seeing something for the first time. The real question is how do you be a national leader and go on stage to discuss "AI" with so little understanding of it that you don't detect your misreading, and so little to say about it other than we're going to start using it. The answer is that this administration's members aren't chosen for competence, they are chosen for loyalty and grift.
If you have valid rules but in practice only enforce them against a single group, then in some sense you are asking the wrong question.

In other words, for people who assume rule enforcement is supposed to be fair, they see unfair enforcement as hypocrisy. However, if you just see enforcement as another tool to wield against enemies, hypocrisy is irrelevant. What matters is power. It’s my basketball, I make the rules.
Whenever i open HN, there's a pro-A"I" post which makes me almost question if intellectual labor will be useful in a few years.

Yet when i try to use these tools, they fall short. They can probably be useful for generating half broken prototypes quickly because speed is more important that quality. But for real code, especially long term, they just never seem to end up breaking even.

This post somewhat restored my confidence in the world's sanity. There are still people who care about quality and who are willing to call bullshit bullshit.

EDIT: The most important part is that he links to tons of examples from other people. There's clearly a sizeable group of people who are not being heard often enough.
Not taking account this specific case, but the general habit that news, be it small or big, are published first/only on Twitter/Facebook/IG/Tiktok etc. is bad and sad. It is bad both for readers and organizations themselves.

For readers, it is confusing and messy to know which platforms acts as a medium for communications. And usually these platforms require login, or nags for it, and doesn't show posts on chronologically to get clear understanding of the news events.

For organizations, there is a risk of shadow banning/closure of account, therefore not having any control of archivability and visibility of communications.

The best and clearest approach for communications probably is your own website with comms section, and post one-sentence summary + link to your website for a variety of social medias for greater visibility. There should be only one long-standing statement/source of truth for each newsworth event. Except of course if your strategy is to manipulate audience with confusion.

Given several mrandish-equivalents, gathered into a side-channel Customer Advocacy org, is there some way to integrate their output without this problematic constantly arguing against metric-chasing?

I'm groping towards something vaguely ombudsman-y, or WW2 production/logistics trouble shooters. Or maybe even pre-Bush41 ARPA Project Managers - term-limited person-with-a-checkbook and few accountability constraints.

If one accepts this role has to be out-of-band, vs poking big hairy blob in hope of creating and maintaining signal channels with particular properties, and grants CEO-adjacent leverage, then it seems a remaining unresolved challenge is integrating the output signals at scale? If so, maybe (jest) CA granted KPI offsets?
I also find it hilarious that they send some performance data to collector.github.com

I generally have the same frustration with roguelites as you seem to: every time I start a run, it feels like I'm gambling whether I'll have any fun at all. A bad seed or start can mean losing in ways that feel unfair or boring, like in balatro if you get a bunch of bad hands and bad jokers, you struggle through rounds and hands until you either lose or get an interesting combination. I don't need that kind of gambling in my life when there's tons of games out there where I know I will have fun.

E: I still quite like Balatro - when it works it's a blast. I'll also still try out Blue Prince because people I respect seem to like it.
If the US has zero jurisdiction, then what are they paying for, exactly?
Maybe not in years, but my iPhone 6s debuted in 2015 and Android of the time was competitive. These phones don't match it. It's not so much bad performance I object to but spending top dollar on something that's already long obsolete. Qualcom is supposed to have competitive CPUs now.

An business should be able to buy cheap Android phones in bulk, install Linux, charge an extra $100/yr for drivers and support, and start a nice little business. Believe Purism already has a subscription where they provide vpn, matrix, and other privacy tools, so they are almost there.

Maybe they need an investor, but honestly the capital outlay should be tiny for the amount of goodwill and eventually business it would bring. With the trillions sloshing around with nowhere to go at the moment, it could change the world for the better.
> For example, if a process has taken an item off a queue and then crashes before having fully processed it, how is that accounted for?

I have worked with people that had deployed huge amounts on the BEAM that had a real problem with the answer to that, and resort to magical thinking.

When erlang processes "crash", assuming the whole system didn't crash, they almost certainly alerted a monitoring process of the fact, so that a process can be quickly restarted. This is the core of how supervision trees in erlang are built.

There are a lot of subtleties to that. The whole system may or may not be a single BEAM instance, and if more than one then they can be distributed, i.e. processes on one machine receive failure messages from processes on others, and can restart the processes elsewhere. These mechanisms on a practical basis are sufficient to automatically pick up the majority of transient failures. (I should add there are two classic ways to blow up a BEAM instance which make this less good than it should be: a bad C function call "NIF" for native something function, or posting messages to a process faster than it can consume them, which will eventually cause an OOM).

But this differs from the underlying philosophy of the runtime, which is that things are only done when they're done, and you should expect failures at any time. This maps on to their messaging paradigm.

What you actually sound like you want is a universe more like FoundationDB and QuiCK https://www.foundationdb.org/files/QuiCK.pdf where the DB and worker queue all live in one single transactional space, which certainly makes reasoning about a lot of these things easier, but have nothing to do with erlang.
For me, a dead end after 10 hours of playing feels like frustration. I don't like starting games I can't finish, especially if I rage quit. It stays with me as a painful memory, the opposite of entertainment.
The Mystery of ICE's Unidentifiable Arrests

They are all pretty terrible, but I guess the rhombus-caret one is real.

The stripes one is rounded (looks shit when small), the complicated one is complicated for no reason.

Good logos work when black-and-white and when very small or very large.

And one more thing: The high cost of a rebrand isn’t paid for the logo or the redesign of stationary. It’s for the pain & process of aligning a committee of aloof decision-makers around a single choice.
Lots of people are forgetting the context in which FastCGI was conceived: servers were expensive uniprocesser machines and enterprise servers with 2 or 4 sockets were relatively extremely expensive. All processors at the time paid heavier penalties for context switching and/or creating between processes. So the optimization folks building web servers were things like preforking the front end in Apache and/or preforking the middle end (FastCGI, WSGI, SCGI, Java App Servers, et al). The database was Oracle, or MySQL or SQLServer which was already multi client based. Also, in *nix land, the popular scripting languages (Perl, PHP, bash) of the time had a ways to go in reducing their startup times.
AI Does Not Spark Joy
Somehow Adobe can say thank you, for free they get honest feedback about the crap they do without having to hire an expensive consulting firm or a survey company.

Now they can know why their sells are platoning at least and people would churn as must as possible.
> The tutorial note cards strongly recommend using a pen+paper while playing

This is my largest complaint. The game should really have a notepad built in. It doesn't need to write down clues for me, but it would be nice to not have to find where my notes were if I put the game down for a long time. Is it that it's a console release?
It wouldn’t have had anyone in the White House had a semblance of a strategy because we could have ensured they couldn’t find relief with their neighbours, Europe, Mexico or Canada. And we could have had the Fed looped in so they could could stand by to absorb shocks from Beijing dumping Treasuries.
I’ve been using the cudarc crate professionally for a while to write and call cuda from rust. Can highly recommend. You don’t have to use super old rustc versions. Although I haven’t looked exactly what you do need to use recently.
I'm not sure this is Ben's forte, but you're right that I wouldn't be surprised if he tries it, though he has done some circuit stuff[0,1] so nothing would surprise me from him. (Hi Ben! Love the work!) BUT I do think this is something Sam Zeloof[2] try. He's done some lithography using a projector[3]. Also there's Jeri Ellsworth, but I think she's shifted to mostly working with her AR project. Tons of old videos on that stuff if you're into it.

Side note: I'm assuming anyone who knows any of these people would be interested that a new
Dan Gelbart video just dropped[5]!

-----------------------------------------

Other side note: @YouTube people (and @GoogleSearch), can we talk about search? The updates have been progressively making it harder to find these types of accounts. People who do *highly* technical things. I get that these are aimed at extremely specific audiences but this type of information is some of the most valuable information on the planet. Lots of knowledge is locked into people's heads and these classes of videos are one of the biggest booms to knowledge distribution we've ever seen in the course of humanity. I understand that this does not directly lead to profits to YouTube (certainly it DOES for Google Search), but indirectly it does (keeps these users on your platform!) and has a high benefit to humanity in general. The beauty of YouTube and Google was you could access anything. That we recognized everyone was different and we could find like minded people in a vast sea. The problem search was meant to solve was to get us access to hard to find things. To find needles in ever growing haystacks! Please, I really do not want to return to the days of pre-search. Nor even early search! It should be _easier_ to find niche topics these days, not harder. LLMs aren't going to fix this. This is becoming an existential crisis and it needs to be resolved.

One of the most difficult things you can do in a discussion like this.

But also, one of the most important.
Looking for a nice, solid, well-documented library to do something is difficult for most stuff. There are some real gems out there, but usually you end up having to roll your own thing. And Lisp generally encourages rolling your own thing.
Sorry, I do not understand your post. You say, I understand, that some are investigated because of tattoos; we understand some of them are being deported; then you seem to state that the deportation is not because of the tattoos. Well, it seems after the tattoos... And the press does not make it evident that proper evidence is sought - it makes it look very discretionary.

What was the intended logic?
Elixir is still very explicit from a syntactic point of view. Macros allow hiding a significant amount of boilerplate in certain behaviours, though. So it's a matter of preference, of course.
I've seen this more formalized as a triangle, with "functionality" being the third point: https://blog.c3l-security.com/2019/06/balancing-functionalit...

You can get secure and easy-to-use tools, but they typically have to be really simple things.
