I mostly kept it brief because I was browsing on a phone.

I'd have no concerns had that selfie pic been taken outside at the original rally, but once that group had broken into the Capitol building everyone there was present illegally. That is not the time to pose for pictures, even if the situation or orders are such that you're not able to make arrests or expel them.
/r/DonaldTrump wasn't visited by 80 million people. The first amendment doesn't protect speech inciting violence.
I usually say “punexpected” because I think what’s meant by “no pun intended” is usually “I only recognized the pun after I said it”. But I agree! Puntention is best.
I take it you don't remember what life was like before the Internet was a thing.

A major city would have approximately four local TV stations with any kind of news organization and two newspapers. Maybe you'd have CNN if you had cable, which a lot of people didn't have. I could guarantee you right here that none of them would platform extreme viewpoints, and the country was much better off for it. I guess if you lived in NYC you'd have a few more options, but they were still pretty limited. And none of these were interactive in any way we'd recognize: maybe, at the most, you'd get a letter to the editor published if you got lucky.

The idea where anyone could say anything and be given a massive platform on an international social network that most of the population uses is a very, very new development.

Algorithm-driven social media where anyone can post whatever is actively harmful to our country. Right now, if you view any YouTube videos about WW2, you'll start getting videos "explaining" that the Holocaust was a hoax in your recommendations. If you're thinking about getting into hunting, and you look up gun reviews on YouTube, your recommendations are going to fill up with "Stop the Steal" and QAnon and other boogaloo propaganda. This is the kind of behavior that, if allowed to continue, will absolutely and utterly burn down society.
We tried various settings for the timeout from 150ms (too short) to 2s (too long) and settled on 250ms. Suggestions welcome on improving it! :D
I disagree, as someone who observed this site as well as everything else, I can tell you at least for me my prior was heavily influenced by the shift in tone, sentiment, and desperation I observed there relative to the usual din of more front-facing social media grifters.

> scientists

Not only scientists need sci-hub.

Educators need sci-hub. People writing education content. Or trying to understand existing content, steeped in misconceptions. Students. A science-literate public.

When I hobby work on OER science education content, or even when I answer a "ask a science/history/whatever question" on reddit, I use google scholar, open access. and sci-hub.

And "I'd really like to see paper X" is not my common case. Though it does occur when double checking that I've finally understood something correctly. My usual case is wrestling with a concept, or trying to put an number to something. I search, and I surf, and I find a paper that might have one helpful sentence in it, 10% chance. And I can check... for only $40! And again a minute later. Or sci-hub. And it's not just greatly reduced friction - those sentences found, are not infrequently, the difference between success and punting, or the lead to a better way of understanding and explaining something.

It's ironic that the American Chemical Society is working with Elsevier to make research literature less accessible to the public, while chemistry education research, describes chemistry education content, using words like "incoherent", and as leaving both students and teachers steeped in misconceptions.
Agreed, a Nortel for each decade is usually sufficient from a business strategy perspective.
Right on schedule, here comes someone to parrot all the debunked reasons the US can't do stuff everyone else in the world can do.
Is the article saying that the M1 is slower than we would have expected in this case?

My understanding, based on the article, is that a normal processor, we would have expected
arr[idx] + arr[idx+1]
and
arr[idx]
to take the same amount of time.

But the M1 is so parallelized that it goes to grab both arr[idx] and arr[idx+1] separately. So we have to wait for both of those two return. Meanwhile, on a less parallelized processor, we would have done arr[idx] first and waited for it to return, and the processor would realize that it already had arr[idx+1] without having to do the second fetch.

Am I understanding this right?
When the group becomes your community, a server acts as a sort of "home" with mostly familiar people talking about a wide range of topics.

We are using median now, although it shows avg in the app.
Hasn't the project been live for much longer than that? I feel like I used it a long time ago... maybe it was one of these competitors you speak of...
Amazon calling their store the "app store" is confusing as hell, and is meant to confuse your average user into believing it's the same thing as Apple's.

"App Store" is about as generic as "Amazon".
Yes, I agree that it would be ideal if Google had staff to train employees on the use of the machines. Hopefully they're moving in that direction.

But, I get the sense that right now they just have one busy foreman who is doing all he can by restricting access to those who have demonstrated they know how to use the equipment.

I'm sure the employee could have also taken his classes at the TechShop and then gotten certified at Google.
It's sort of counter-intuitive, but taking responsibility for something (even if it's not directly your fault) often has the effect of deflecting some of the anger from your customers/clients/boss/etc.

Personally, I prefer to just get the blame part out of the way by taking responsibility and concentrate on the important things: fixing the problem and making sure it doesn't happen again.

I think that deep down, people aren't that concerned with who's fault it was. They just want to know that someone is going to fix it.
lol... but seriously it is amazing the heterogeneity of realities at any given time.
Interestingly enough, Yandex did so also, a while ago, as it was being used as a scarily good open-source undercover agent identification tool https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/how-tos/2019/12/26/guid...

although I can't seem to find the followup post that actually discusses how the Yandex search quality decreased following the publication of the original article
XSLT is purely declarative, not just kind of. Those ifs and switches are not imperative constructs, they're evaluated functionally. xsl:if conditionally applies a template, which kind of looks imperative and control-flowy, but is really functional all the way through.

<xsl:if test="x">template</xsl:test>

is basically this in Lisp:

(if eval(x) (apply-template template) nil)

And <xsl:for-each> is equivalent to map in Lisp. It's a functional projection, not an imperative loop, even if the syntax looks like that of an imperative language.

Active aggression from a Pakistani wife in an arranged marriage may be imprudent.
You should read more than a headline. She explicitly says that her mother and sister live in Pakistan. I'm being a bit harsh here, but in this case being quick to comment on the issue without reading through the entire thread can actually be damaging. Also, "trouble" also means dishonor in this case.

Even her language in the original post was pretty clear (though only if you've ever read about such cases before, I admit, so I don't blame you for not reading it that way - 10 years ago I probably wouldn't notice either) - the vagueness there is actually a defensive strategy, and possibly one more terrifying consequence of such cases. This really is a slow-release horror case.
Great until there's a fire or flood, you get burgled and the paper gets stolen or you simply lose them. I don't store cash under my matress for the same reason.
We are not resending the original email. We are sending a new message you can customize that says some version of, "Did you see this?."

Will definitely read up on those concerns. Thank you so much for the resources and for preventing us from getting sleep at night from now on.

Oh, I signed up for edgee a while ago now. I've found it pretty useful for certain topics. I made this on the great Richard Feyman:

Cost is a big factor in country like India. Population is large and govt must give it free. I think these constraints are also being considered.
I don't understand how some of the translations can be SO BAD. E.g. the one that mentions "fitness room" and "Thailand"; What was the original Japanese sentence for that one?
Yes, I can make my own judgements from the tweets, so don't need some Twitter employee to tell me the same. I think he should have been banned a lot sooner.
Does anybody read the White House website?
100% of the difference was military authorization for extra security and media slant. On some level this was allowed to happen.
I never compared jumping off cliffs and breaking into Congress. The point is that your argument that we ought to condemn the actions of the trump supporters because the rest of society has done so is not a rational argument.

I don’t think breaking into Congress is always bad. I support people’s right to peaceful protest. The Trump supporters by and large did not initiate violence, the violence was initiated on them by the police. If there was evidence that the trump supporters actually were initiating mass violence against people in the capitol that would be a different story, but with 4 unarmed protestors dead, they were the only ones who suffered casualties. That’s simply a fact.

You’re drawing a line that any protest which occupies the capitol is immoral. I disagree with that but if you really believe that, was it immoral when the women’s March protesters took the capitol? https://twitter.com/EgSophie/status/1048634940169048064?s=20
Trump's campaign emails are not government comms. The campaign is a business that raises funds to pay for Trump's political campaigning, although lately it seems some of that money has been going on paying off debts from his previous campaigns (https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyl...).

As for all the other Trump social media, there are official government accounts for everything that platforms probably couldn't ban quite so freely. The only reason they've been able to remove Trump is that he chose to use his own personal accounts instead.
He said he wanted decentralized.
>Now, almost over night, we're back to pretending

"Almost over night" some of Trump's prominent and wealthy supporters seem to think something changed. It's not like Democratic politicians are the only ones talking about the 25th amendment, for instance.

Flip it around, do you really think that Pelosi, in her heart of hearts, can honestly tell herself or anyone else that there is no chance of him launching nukes if he has a way? If not, then her politics and reputation are beside the point, no matter how inconsistent or insincere she's been in the past.

It is something people were already thinking about, (I know because I was) and it's fundamentally independent of normal politics. In normal politics, nobody would care about the last few days of his term; nobody cares about another impeachment.

Needing to save the world and/or democracy in the US is not what's normally called an opportunity. Even if it were a overblown threat. What would her goal be?

From a quick search, most solar panels I can find are 15-20% efficient, so (from a quick look) this seems like a noticeable improvement, no?
The "interstellarbug"... At the center of the entire system is an enormous black hole of collapsed mystery code. It is unimaginably dense with unknown, unmeasurable bugs and virtual machines whose purpose cannot be deduced from the outside. Its API horizon must never be crossed.

A working subsystem orbits the black hole and somehow manages to perform its operations, but it's extremely hazardous to visit even that subsystem: due to the enormous gravitation of the black hole bugs, every hour you spend working on the code makes you miss five years of your real life.
Not the same version then? :)
Stop reusing passwords

Network compartmentalization. For example, in the Sony Pictures hack, why does HR's network need to be accessible from the same internal network that everyone else is on?
Indeed a very good though sir. I am a Electronics engineer who works in a IT software industry but i love to write down my thoughts and share my knowledge on the very platform of blogging at www.quikrpost.com
In military terms, it's switching from a crust defense (the perimeter) to defense in depth.

There are situations where the former can make sense, such as a siege, where e.g. a penetration is quickly obvious and you can use your interior lines of communications to rush reserves to the action.

The key, of course, is the "quickly obvious". Prior to the stats of the art allowing that (which sounds difficult and painful in principle), defense in depth is obviously the way to go. But you've got to achive it in some why where e.g. compromise of "bob@nvidia.com" + password doesn't quickly get you past any defense, or any that's relevant to bob.
> What do you mean by "slow"? Hours, days, weeks, months, or years?

Depends on the issue, but yes. Weeks to years.

> Singular use of LSD or other 5ht agonists is unlikely to cause serotonin syndrome in lieu of other metabotropic properties which affect the serotonin system.

Technically correct. Diagnostic criteria include temperature > 38 °C for example, so it's only called serotonine-syndrome when symptoms get into the dangerous zone. What LSD does anyway is steering your body into that direction, so you might not have 38°C on LSD, but e.g. 37.4°C. Simply because it affects serotonergic systems and those regulate body-temperature.
I'll update my post.
"Another non-flat geometry, hyperbolic geometry, even allows infinitely many ways to tile the plane by regular pentagons. ... The flatness of Euclidean space seems to interfere with the ability of five-fold shapes to tile. Somehow, fiveness and flatness have a difficult time getting along together."

Could this be related to 5 being a prime number? Are there any examples or counter-examples of prime-number sided shapes tiling the plane?
A version might be on your repo - it's in the Homebrew repo on Macs.
> Just completely dismissive of everything that doesn't align directly with his values (which don't include actually shipping game!)

I think you're reading something that's not there. Some big name (and "big" is relative) says something, like Carmack, Stallman, or even someone like Jeff Vogel, and people get up in arms about it. To be honest, I think most people are reacting to how celebrities make them feel rather than what celebrities say. If Muratori is "dismissive", it could be because you feel dismissed, or some other feeling you have, rather than something Muratori is actually saying.

The biggest problem with tone policing is that it's so damn inaccurate.

Anyway, we need people like Casey Muratori in the ecosystem. You get a mix of architecture astronauts and philosophizers with "just get it done and ship it" folks. Both groups of people learn things that the other group needs to know. Both groups of people build things that the other group wants to use.

> Just really dislike people who lack the imagination to wonder why some people just want to make games rather than spend their life writing engine code, and actively shitting on stuff that exists. Just so much negative energy to put out in the world.

Doesn't seem like Muratori to me. He does have his weird fan group that seems to amplify stuff he says 100x (like Blow and Carmack), but calling Unreal "unwieldy" is not exactly "shitting" on it. It is unwieldy, like most mature pieces of software. I often say that C++ is a trainwreck of a language, but that doesn't mean that I don't think that C++ has a value proposition. If I said that with a fan group like Muratori's weird fans, maybe it would make people more upset--as it is, I'm just some unknown commenter on HN.
There are a lot of options to work for a company that builds free software now, and not necessarily fangs / gafam. Many of those companies are struggling to find people. And now, you can often even join remotely. It might be paid less but still very comfortable.

You mentioned exclusively, that's true that you might have to write custom, closed code for customers at many of those companies. But that's still better than exclusively working on non free software.
I think he's talking about wine-lovers - not the vast majority of people by a large margin.
Agreed. Plus:

Sometimes practicality has to win out over idealism

We're engineering software, not writing constitutions. Practicality always comes first IMHO.
Apocalyptic claims about climate change from both sides are wrong.

As the article says, climate change won't destroy human civilization.

Halting climate change won't destroy the economy, nor would it significantly affect it. It'd cost on the order of a trillion dollars. That's a crazy amount of money, but the US can and will spend that kind of money regularly. For instance, it's comparable to the Iraq War or the Apollo project. It's less than WWII.

And it's not like the trillion would disappear; it's being spent in the economy. And via the broken windows measurement fallacy of economics, it would likely increase our GDP rather than decrease it.
I actually think that novice hobbyists are better off with the venerable 741 because there is just so much clear and concise documentation on it's use in hobby projects that have accumulated over the years. Once you have a grasp of what the different specifications mean, then it's easy to make the jump to other more modern chips with better performance.
>my messages about Pernosco, which I think is much more interesting and important, have relatively little exposure

It is not very surprising given that it is a SaaS which doesn't even list pricing on its page.

>I want everyone to know about Pernosco, not just to attract the customers we need for sustainable debugging investment, but so that developers everywhere wake up to the awful state of debugging and rise up to demand an end to it.

This is rather conflicting statement as Pernosco business model seems to be solely targeted at bigcorps paying big money, and not developers promoting Pernosco through using it in own hobby projects. (I don't know if this is actually true, but email-us-to-just-get-a-quote is huge discouragement)
> “entitled”

I think we've reached an impasse. Fundamentally, it's brew's project, not the user's, and my opinion is that the brew project has met the burden of attempting to balance their needs (data collection) with those of their users (privacy). It is very easy to dictate a mandate when it's not your time. Compromise is necessary, inevitable even.

> "grandstanders"

If someone would like to donate your time, effort, and funds to standing up analytics infra solely for Brew's use (or perhaps in aggregate for a group of OSS projects) so that they could avoid communicating with Google infra, I fully support such efforts. Historically, I have not seen this occur when a group takes issues with activities of an open and/or free project and the project has offered to accept the necessary resources from those who desired to be stakeholders via their input.
Think of it this way. Say you were trying to piece together the life story of Stephen Hawking. You'd be happy to come across an unknown/unpublished paper of his, which would be a new plot-point to demonstrate his intelligence and talent in a specific way that was previously unknown. Sure, it may not be his best work. It may not even be that different from other work going on at the same time. But because we are interested in Stephen Hawking's story specifically, it would still be a very valuable piece to keep track of. If you later found out it was an imposter's paper, it would be worthless.
I would not go so far as to assume iPhones do not perform surveillance. What Tim Cook says is one thing, what the national security letter they've received says is another.
Strongly disagree.

To implement something simple in VS Code, you have to write an entire package, or put out a PR to one. To implement something simple in atom, you open up your init script.

To change a bit of css in code, you have to write an entirely new UI theme. To change a bit of css in atom, you open up your stylesheet.

Vim mode plus is significantly better than VSCodeVim, both performance and feature wise.

I will freely admit that VS Code has better IDE features (especially out of the box) than atom does (built in terminal, better autocomplete, better LSP support).

But to say that VS Code somehow obsoletes Atom is misguided. Atom is exactly what it bills itself as: A hackable editor built by github.

Reinforcing the sentiment that this decision should be in the hands of the user, especially considering the first part of the question is not an easy one to answer.
This is quite risky - previous beta updates (such as Big Sur) did break installing updates on older OS releases in the same APFS container, and some beta updates have in the past done incompatible APFS updates that broke the ability to boot old OSes.

Safer to use a separate disk or partition.
