Not sure why this is downvoted. What you've stated are the magic numbers for widespread electric car use. 400 mile range with sub-hour recharge. Shouldn't really be a controversial point.
Intentional air crashes are rare. Last was in Botswana/Namibia.

One of my best friends committed suicide at age 32 in 2005. Because LSD was not part of his life, I am not sure why the suicide happened.
One possibility: Operation Plumbbob, a series of open air nuclear tests in 1957, generated considerable fallout in north central NE.
> At the time, nobody knew radium was dangerous

The Wikipedia article on radium seems to imply that some people were aware of the dangers:

> During the litigation, it was determined that the company's scientists and management had taken considerable precautions to protect themselves from the effects of radiation, but it did not seem to protect their employees.
Have you seen the amount of stuff in Wikipedia that doesn't really merit an entry? Or noticed that Google usually returns a summary from Wikipedia to tell you what the thing you just searched is? The bar to entry is arbitrarily enforced, and the benefit of being in there is potentially huge.
First of all, thanks for the detailed explanation. It's helped clear up my concerns. Will have to do a bit more reading, but GPL sounds like it'd be a good choice.

I should've clarified to mean the open-source Windows community in my earlier comment.
fn foo(xx : &Mutex<String>) {
let lock = xx.lock();
let ptr = &mut *lock as *mut String;
unsafe { use_from_c(ptr) }
}

You get the idea: you don't want the lock or the string to be dropped before the unsafe code, even if the actual string is no longer used. That's the breaking change. It's hard to detect automatically, so hard to justify even in an edition.
> No. I am the poor programmer whose manager forced me to use a library their nephew's dog or someone wrote that does all of those

My condolences, that sucks. I'd still suggest using the profiling tools I've suggested to find these issues and create change requests to said libs. People will think you're a wizard if you simply learn how to use Java's telemetry. It's an invaluable skill.

> Except using finalize for closing pipes for subprocesses, that was by Java standard library itself

Java uses finalizers as a last resort, not a first line. Finalizers are due to be removed from the language so don't count on them being around for long.

> And keeping references longer than needed, that is every library that implements clever caching, ever.

Sure, caching is legitimate when the cost of creating exceeds the cost of long lived objects. Have you measured to see if the caches you have are improperly sized? Have you made pull requests/change requests to said libraries to fix it if it is?

> Regarding try-with-resources, RAII was invented for a reason. Java did not copy it, because they seemed to seriously believe that GC is a good substitute.

RAII was, few languages have it. The languages that don't have it generally don't have it because tracking the lifetime of objects in a GCed language can be extremely difficult. Consider, for example, how java would handle a destructor for an object allocated in one thread shared with multiple other threads.

Do you know how C++/Rust/D solve that problem? Through a system of reference counted smart pointers which have to be handled very delicately. Java allows such objects to be freely moved.

There are pros and cons to GCs (like most language features) so instead of just defaulting to "man, GCed languages suck because the finalizers aren't called when I want them to be!" perhaps it's a better route to learn the idiomatic way of handling resources and use that?

I'm not sure I can believe this. This implies that the only punishment available is that of the law enforcement. While society has a variety of methods under the umbrella of punishment such as shunning, 3rd-party intervention and such.
> ... what I would actually like is the ability to configure OpenSSH to require multiple things to log in, ...

With OpenSSH, you can require multiple authentication methods to succeed before access is granted.

For example, "publickey,password" to require password authentication after key-based authentication has succeeded. You could even do "publickey,publickey,publickey" to require three different keys to be used!

This has been supported for several years, by the way. See "AuthenticationMethods" in the "sshd_config*" man page.
When you run companies like Uber that violate laws left and right I don't think the founders or boards have any issue where the money comes from.
No they do not. They need winterized diesel fuel (kerosene added), but that's it. -30C was a "nothing special" for BMW N47 engine to start. -37C is a pour point of 0w40 engine oil, but higher temps are fine in terms of cold engine startups
He doesn’t even credit the book appropriately. How scummy.
It's not exactly what you describe, but you might find some use in the pv (pipe viewer) command: http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml
I would agree with this. At home I walk, ride my bike, get on transit, rent a carshare etc. When I'm travelling, I'm walking or calling an Uber/Lyft. I'll take a train or bus only if it's super easy to navigate.
I prepend my filenames with soemthing like `YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS.sss` or if second is enough `YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS`. The `T` there makes it hard to read for humans imho.
How would you explain this that wouldn't be considered "twisting"?

If you're in incognito mode, and you buy something on Amazon, post something on Facebook, purchase a NYTimes subscription, do you expect none of those entities to have information about what you did?
I can't find a source at the moment, but I remember reading more about this a few years back. IIRC it was made as a joke for an internal company conference, or something along those lines.

I think the daily changes in how "in shape" you are reflect how much water you have in your body from eating carbohydrate. Nobody loses a noticeable amount of fat in one day.

You lost weight by decreasing the amount of energy you were eating. Low-carb diets are an effective way to do this, because they are generally restrictive (less variety means less overeating) and because protein is very satiating. But there are other ways, and yes, some of them involve eating a lot of carbohydrates. The best thing is to choose something you can stick with. In that sense, your advice is not good, since 50-60% protein would make a lot of people want to barf.

I would go so far as to say there is no such thing as a diet that is "healthy" absent particular health goals. If you are overweight, one way to become healthier is to lose weight. In that sense, a low-energy diet is effective, independent of what foods it contains.
Yeah. Um. Is there a third option?
Lay on your belly and lift shoulders and legs up?
Really neat, but I doubt it will last long when the lawyers find out.

The arrows to switch articles are not obvious though. Maybe bin the fade-out.
I went to the site and it had prepopulated "A Fish called Wanda" in the search box. I remove it and type in "The straight story", and hit search. It went on to give me matches for a "A fish called Wanda". I repeated this several times, and reloaded the page. Sorry, but your service does not work. I'm using Chrome on OS X.
I guess its a matter of preference, but I dont know anyone who likes scrolling sideways on a computer. Maybe it would work on the iPad, but not on a computer monitor
As much as I enjoy picking apart irrational government actions, you're stretching it here. For example, (deceased) Senator Ted Kennedy claimed to have been on the list and detained at airports.

See https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/No_Fly_List#F... :

In August 2004, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) told a Senate Judiciary Committee discussing the No Fly List that he had appeared on the list and had been repeatedly delayed at airports.

Of course, he was eventually able to get his name off the list, something that few mortals are able to accomplish.
You're not a fraud. You changed your mind. It's OK to do that.
I have had two runs of hand/finger pain. The most recent bout was the result of using a mouse and a not-very-good keyboard. I threw out all the mice and got a trackball and use it with my left hand, even though I am right-handed. I acquired a Kenisis keyboard and use that. I also paid attention to my wrist positions, and the height of the chair. Over the period of many months, the pain slowly went away and now there is none. I still use the left-handed trackball and at home I use an Avant Prime (remember the omnikey/Northgate keyboards?) and so long as I keep the wrist position good it works. At work, I have the kenisis.

(I used to have a kinesis at home, but an errant cup of tea (with honey) kinda put an end to that one. Now I do more typing at work.)

Dvorak would have not helped in this case. It was all about gripping the mouse and bad wrist juju while typing.
Yes. The prior iteration of this library (ExtJS) did a license bait-and-switch before and anyone who trusts them to not change the conditions at some future point is a fool.
From an interview with Dave Lifson, CEO of Postling:

"I've only been to the Valley half a dozen times, but what I've noticed is an extreme disconnect between the early adopters in the Valley and reality for the rest of the world. In the Valley, everyone seems to have a 3-second attention span: once something's "old" it's no longer interesting or valuable. The problem with that is that companies don't get built overnight; it's a long, slow journey that requires constant focus on who your real customers are and what problems they face, regardless of what TechCrunch says. Some of our users have never heard of Yelp and most have not heard of Foursquare, and it's important we constantly keep that in mind when we decide which features to prioritize."

Ah, I always had a sneaking suspicion my friend was lazy... :)

Thanks for the clarification.
And just like that, it's that easy for someone to avoid the whole system. If -anyone- can avoid them, then terrorists can. And that defeats the whole system.

Of course, that assumes the system worked in the first place, which I don't believe.
Not a workstation, but a laptop - I have a Latitude e6500, and it's worked fine over the last year. I had a previous one, which had a problem, which Dell fixed very quickly:

Maybe they should add another category: "Doesn't look like garbage." Android 2.2 is still failing on that one . . .

The intangibles matter, and they're entirely absent from this feature list. Until Google understands that, Android will always take a back seat to iPhone on design.
The article is lacking in details but I think his point is true. Maybe the solution isn't to evolve journals, but to replace them entirely. In the age of the WWW, why is academic information still distributed behind walled gardens?

It will be very interesting to see if the arc of human development begins with primitive matriarchal societies and ends with hi-tech matriarchal societies.

It will also be interesting to see if history bears out the current theories that men skew to the extremes. In 20 years women may make up the majority of the white-collar workforce, but will they also dominate at the executive level?
How does spending a greater amount of other people's money incentivize a police department or any other public body?
I use notability which syncs through iCloud and shows up on my Mac. Sometimes it takes a second to sync but I don’t constantly write in real time and convert to latex so it works.

Sometimes I also copy with notability and paste on my Mac through iCloud clipboard sharing but that feature seems to work about 25-50% of the time.

I use mathpix for textbooks, websites and handwritten math but if I know beforehand I’m going to need it in latex I generally find it easier just to type.
> This type of liquid cooling has been used by cryptominers in recent years to mine for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This method inspired Microsoft to trial its use over the last few years, using it to test against spikes of cloud demand and intensive workloads for applications like machine learning.

I've seen this used to enable cost-effective crypto mining in areas with cheap electricity and hot weather. I thought the expense of liquid-cooling everything outweighed the benefits for data centers, but maybe that's not true anymore.

I love the "cool factor" of the tech, but I worry about the increased use and eventual disposal of PFC liquid as this approach becomes more widespread

Nope. You can have a smaller, simpler substitute if you have comparative advantage in some other niche.

DuckDuckGo is making a decent showing against Google, despite arriving on the scene almost 2 decades later. A handful of righty / unPC social media properties (Gab, Parler, whatever Lindell’s app is called this week, etc) are slowly eating into Facebook/Twitter market share because they promise less moderation.

Wow, that was page after page of explanation and they didn't even say why they did it. The closest they came is some sort of weird double speak about striking a balance with the people who sent the take down notices.

There is no way to tell why they delisted this content and they won't say why, but I suspect they were just sued and don't want to pay the lawyer fees or something. Maybe we need some sort of decentralized way to host take down notices since this centralized method they host has failed.

They claim it is fine since the delisted content is still on their site, but if it isn't listed in a search engine, people just aren't going to find it when they are looking for it.
Thank God Nick didn't bring a dictionary. If he did, he would most likely not only be detained in a small jail for several hours, but probably sent to a secret underground torture chamber to be water-boarded. After all, he must obviously be planning a massive-scale nuclear / chemical attack on the United States as "after looking through the thick tome, dangerous words like 'chemical', 'nuclear', 'oil', 'president', and 'United States' were all found listed therein."

The court documents claim that TSA arrest / detention was reasonable and he got his payout for the police arrest / detention. The documents state clearly that the TSA action was reasonable because of the content of the cards.

This headline - "I was arrested for learning Arabic" is almost dishonest.

EDIT: as I have said elsewhere in this thread I think that he should not have been arrested. I'm not agreeing with the way he was treated. This post is just stating what the court documents say, as I understand them.
The manufacturers of the laptops you mention (HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer, ASUS etc.) all directly support Linux for their hardware by publishing SDKs, developing drivers, pushing updates to the kernel and more. Some of these companies even sell Linux laptops themselves. Apple is a very different company.
It really depends on what you buy / how recent it is. If you buy a just-released new model (that's not just a trivial bump in specs from the previous version), you will likely run into issues.

But you're right - the experience is way better than a decade ago and these days I'd expect anything that's been on the shelf of a local office store to work just fine.
If you use a smaller font then you can fit more text on the page, but it's hard to read.
Not quite as fast. M1 has 8 wide decode, which would be difficult to do with x86 because x86 has variable instruction lengths.
No, python is the programming language that everyone thinks Java is.

Is Java slow? Nope. Does everyone think it is? Yes. Is python? Yes.

Does Java have the best libraries? Hell no. Does everyone think it does? Yep. Is python really the language with the best libraries? Yep.

Python is easy to write, and to write well. Python makes it easy to crank something out in half an hour that isn't messy.

I am ridiciulously in love with python, although lately I have been placing more value on runtime speed than development speed, so I find myself using it less than in years prior. It is still my favorite programming language, however.
Tidy it up then!

In UK older Victorian and earlier houses sometimes have cellars. Some people leave them as slightly damp cold spaces, other people do them up and gain an extra room.
Given that the author IS an open source contributor, DID spot a problem, DID contribute a fix, and therefore DID attempt to take part of the load, three of those lines appear redundant.

Regarding the remaining line, you appear to be suggesting that anyone who spends their spare time helping people, or volunteers in some way, is entitled to be rude and unhelpful. Is that really your position?

Government services are by definition a monopoly because there is only one government in your country. It's a bit worse, though. If there's a monopoly on electricity I can just stop paying and get a generator. If there is a monopoly on air flights I could drive or take a boat. However, if I stop paying the government I go to prison.

Nice to see this on HN. I interviewed the authors back in October[1] (in Swedish) and I found their take on designing in security very interesting.

I don't think you should limit your volunteering to Covid-19 related projects. There are already tons of people putting up semi-amateur analyses of epidemiological data, and I think that's (A) the best thing software can do right now, and (B) dangerous when done by people outside of epidemiology.

Contributing to other open-source projects has civic value in and of itself, but there are also projects like ElectionGuard[1] that have additional value in the public interest and need contributors.

This is a pretty common fallacy that I read every few days on HN. Air transportation is a major contributor to CO2, if you limit the scope to the people who use it. It is estimated that about 80% of the world's adults have never taken a flight, and 94% of the world's adults have not taken a flight in over a year.

So, the real picture is that this 2.5% of global CO2 emissions are caused by as few as 6% of the population, who also are incidentally the richest and bear a high personal carbon footprint in other domains than transportation.

Also please remember that the aviation sector is growing, and therefore its global contribution to GHG emissions will grow as well in the future. Discounting the carbon footprint of the aviation sector based on today's numbers is a mistake.

If you do not want to impede on your ability to travel, you shouldn't object to it for the 94% of the population that want the same thing as you, and when it becomes available to them the aviation sector's emissions will increase 15-fold.
I live in Spain. Yesterday I saw a group of five people standing together in the dog park, about 2 meters apart from each other. Good thing they are practicing social distancing, but their dogs were still playing with each other. We're indeed being laughed at, and rightfully so. Many people are not taking the lock down serious here.
We've had targeting for at least as long as we've had publications with different subscriber bases. Do you think there are the same ads in Wired magazine, Sports Illustrated, and the Wall Street Journal?

And even just traditional local newspapers targeted based on locale and readership. The New York Post is going to have different advertising than The New York Times.
