I don't have the answers, but I'm speculating that it has developed first from being a skeuomorphic text representation depicting a modem/ethernet port, but then just being re-used outside the original and slowly evolving to

Yeah, by implicit ordering, I mean an underspecified pipeline which has an undeclared dependency on some of the inputs being sorted. Unfortunately this is why the code in the cited paper worked on some systems and not others as the os.listd

This is a tricky field, the problem is not actually the non-determinism of the processing algorithms, but implicit ordering of the data.[1] The implicit ordering of the data is a footgun that -- as seen in the paper -- has already claimed v

Yeah, it technically was there, but it had proprietary components and Nokia had a baggage of softbware project management being super inefficient because of their earlier roots of how they developed software in their past. Not that I have p

NIH barely applies here at all. If we take into account the constraints they were under and the absolute state of desktop Linux when Android started, it makes total sense. Starting a lot of the components as greenfield projects will fortuna

By the time you have an out-of-order core You're thinking too high level and high performance/high power use -- think about minimal embedded controllers, no need to add the complexity of O3 exe, but there's still the

I'm probably an outlier, but as someone working a non-physical job, I have been talking about how I personally would still keep working and doing jobs even if all of my basic needs are met. I do work purely because of idealistic reason

I think it's more nuanced than that. Obviously countries have differences on how aligned the people and the press are, but there's also the aspect of how highly educated the people are. FWIW, I feel like the press in Finland doesn

Any new advancements regarding Rust borrow checking and allowing new code is always a very challenging exercise, as people have already accustomed to the "that style of code doesn't compile"-area of the current compiler, so t

I've got a stripped down installation of win11 in a vm that has Servo as its only browser if there's ever a need to open a website in it. It's something!

I'd like to suggest that this messaging is actually the inverse of virtue signaling, I.E. "icky signaling" for snowflakes. Keeps people at bay who are icked by the message.

You brought out a good point, it was . It's just a statistical anomaly where the collective thought was stuck in a local minima, where they thought that the sacrifices had a correlative/causative effect on good harvest/luck&

That's a personal information database and making one without consent of the people detailed is _super_ illegal in Europe. There's a few examples of entities like Jehovah's witnesses making do-not-visit lists that have been c

I haven't written up an article about it yet, but from a cursory look of the legal stuff this only affects private citizens and could be circumvented by setting up a shell company that owns your devices. Legally, you can't surrend

I'm not sure that if this is an obvious question that has been gone through already, but have any of the death threats relating to Rust stuff actually been "verified" or is it just an opinion that has been repeated enough tim

If you want to, you can report any vulnerabilities to the Finnish Cyber Security Centre and they'll handle all of the reporting and mediating the issue with the affected party. You can do this wholly anonymously, so you don't have

For the generic selector naming I'd suggest "cascade selector/selectors" as that gives a hint of the origins and describes the actual function of it pretty well.

But in the real world, for maximal battery savings and therefore UX, routing any notification data via APNS is recommended. Fortunately you can choose the payload by yourself and just send a notification "ping" without any data ab

It's good until some unregulated electronic device creates interference that makes some poor guys pacemaker act up and kills them.

It definitely is relevant here, buries the lede and tells that you're trying to skirt the HN guidelines. Nothing exists in a vacuum and the surrounding context can and IMO *should* be taken into account.

I've been toying with an idea of creating a JS runtime that tries to run all code two times, one which runs all identifying information inside a runtime that has any network API's stubbed, and another that replaces the identifying

archive.today has a documented history of altering the archived content, as such they immediately lose the veil of protection of a service of "public good" in my books. Just my 2 ¢, not that it really matters anymore in this curre

Assuming US, I think that the gov't can't actually compel speech from an entity e.g. force to keep signing the canary. Warrant canaries are the way entities can circumvent the narrow case where the gov't actually can rest

Huh, this seems like a cool optimization problem that I gotta dig in later. As sweeping was mentioned, there's an argument to be made that we could/should optimize for: - longest possible strides, you can pick up speed and minim
