What would that publishing method do to the already published things though? If they can make a unity webplugin for Windows and Mac, two completely different systems, it should be possible to make one for Linux as well.

Isn't this the same issue as CEOs of private enterprises making millions? If that is the market rate of someone with those skills, shouldn't that be what they're paid?
The problems with these filters is that they catch things that aren't porn too. For example advice on safe sex.
As a tangent, I'm really happy to see that Python is slowly but surely becoming the go-to demonstration language of posts like this. Wasn't always this way. Python is so lucidly readable that it serves great as "executable pseudocode". I mean, if you provide pseudocode for an algorithm, might as well write Python - it's mostly as readable and a huge advantage is that you can actually run and test it.
Israel only has Pfizer I believe, and they were able to secure early access by agreeing to share data and enroll in clinical trials. Here is one study based on real world data in Israel, there are others too:

The thing is that using setuptools is neither standard nor Pythonic. It isn't part of the standard library. It's a way of doing things that is broken, and has been specifically called out by the Python developer community as something that people should stop doing.
I was under the impression that Kubernetes was a complicated beast not meant for small teams / startups. What is the value of it in this monolith environment? Is the key to using it in a startup context to use it as a basic monolith auto-scaling orchestrator but no more than that? If you or anyone else here can comment about how to use Kubernetes strategically without falling into an unnecessary over-engineering rabbit hole, I'm willing to learn from you.

Regarding the rate limiting, you're load balancing into nginx services that you've configured to limit requests. Are they synchronizing rate limiting state? I can't seem to find nginx documentation supporting this. What value is there in this style of rate limiting, considering User X can send a sequence of requests into a load balancer that routes them to nginx boxes A, B, and C? The big picture that 3 requests were processed for user X gets lost. Your endpoint-level rate limiting, however, may potentially be achieving the synchronized rates if the redis servers in a cluster are synchronizing. I guess I'm asking about the strategy of using multiple lines of rate limiting defense. Is nginx-level rate limiting primarily for denial of service?

The horizontal autoscaler should be based on throughput rather than hardware consumption, shouldn't it? If the req/sec goes below a threshold, spawn a new service. Can anyone comment?
Bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients can still experience graft versus host disease (GVHD) which is when the transplanted marrow produces healthy cells that start to attack the host body.

Besides GVHD, it is like you said. BMT patients are one of the few transplant types that can eventually come off of immuno-suppressants with a successful transplant. The patient's original bone marrow is supposed to be wiped out by chemotherapy (and sometimes some radiation) to make room for the new marrow transplant.
I wish your first paragraph turns out to be correct.

I'm personally not hopeful after Mozilla's track record in recent history. But then again, there is no alternative...
I never like reading and probably never will. So it feels good to read something that doesn't affect me (personally).

Really love how this article is written, the choice of words and sentences really speak to me.
There doesn't really seem to be anything special about "long COVID" that isn't well-known and generalizable to viral infections at large: chronic post-viral fatigue syndrome[0]. It's a thing, it affects a small percentage of people who have viral infections, it really sucks (took me 3 months to fully get over a bad flu when I was a teen). The reason it's noticeable now is because millions of people had a novel viral infection at basically the same time, so there's also obviously gonna be a spike of post-viral fatigue too.

Awesome, just what I needed - I bought 5 !!
But HN is a tiny minority. It is barely a drop in the ocean. Printed media is losing a lot of market (except books globally and comics in certain asian countries). Look at how manga works - most manga don't get that many sales. They rely entirely on their niche. There are just a lot of authors of them and a lot of buyers. However, in the western world comics seem to be dying like newspapers. The Internet just stomps them, so comics are trying to hold on to the niche they do have as hard as they can. You have to realize that this is afterall a business - the fact that there are very few comics that do portray what you're talking about disagrees with your "tremendous evidence".

Also note that I do not care for these types of comics you describe or even the "sexy" ones. I do not like western art in comics at all. I just think that people who say "oh, but I would read comics if only they had X" talk a lot about it, but not enough of them follow through for extended periods of time when offered the chance.
Do you have some example use cases for your form descendants vs. event bindings issues? I'd like to see how they could possibly map to React form libraries.

I don't believe there's anything in the GDPR that gives it the ability to regulate entities several steps removed from the violations. If company A uses a posted letter to ask for PII then stores it in violation of the GDPR, would you then regulate the post office?

Yeah, my $4000 486-DX2 with 8MB RAM and a Weitek P9000 graphics card was amazing(ly expensive)!
That paragraph really should've been the focus of the article, front and center - and from there an explanation on why it ain't built-in.
Yea, as someone who grew up in a similarly rural area (45 minutes drive to the nearest small city), the above description is really accurate. I think one of the biggest misconception about people who like to live in these sparsely populated rural places is that they're anti-social hermits. Quite the opposite. You kind of have to know everyone around because that's it--that's your entire support network if something goes wrong.

Maybe cheap phones last longer because you use them less. In my experience is is usually the moving parts that break (switches and sockets). I want a device designed to work without any physical switches.
Not the same but bsdnow.tv is a weekly video/podcast on the BSDs.
According to the article, the author was using Firefox, a non-Apple mail client and a non-Apple terminal client. That made quitting OS X of course not that difficult …

In spite of all annoying and time-consuming issues with OS X, I could not afford to switch to Linux, especially not in a business context. SaaS could help, however, the leading SaaS provider are US-based and I can therefore not used them for legal reasons, e.g., due to data privacy legislation.
Well its made by Channel 4, so it's a private company that entered into the arrangement. A BUPA hospital would want to be shown in a positive light just to let a camera through the door, so I don't see why an NHS hospital should be any different.

I mean honestly, how mentally challenged do you have to be to think any organization is going to enter an agreement like that and not set restrictions on the tone.

Would you willingly let someone into your house to film you without them agreeing to make you look good? Would you agree if they told you they were going to cut it so all the audience sees is you arguing with your wife and kids?

So it's either going to be positive or not exist, and that's not because it's the NHS.
With fewer servers, requests would not take 33ms, they would, on average, take longer. As load increases, the probability that requests are queued while CPUs are busy with other requests increases. The number of requests being processed and not blocked on I/O can't exceed the physical parallelism available.

You don't need to be CPU-bound before this starts happening because requests don't arrive in evenly spaced intervals. Decreasing CPU load, even on a moderately loaded, I/O bound system, can still reduce latency.
I think you're right: People are not afraid of computers anymore, and when they are, it's in all the wrong ways.

When I was younger the internet terrified people. I learned all kinds of simple "don'ts" in the 90s that it seems all got completely forgotten within a decade and now no-one learns anything anymore.

I didn't even use my real name online until a couple of years ago. It was like the first rule of the internet: never put your real-life details on the internet.

Now we have Facebook.

News stories and Outlook viruses made it abundantly clear that you should never ever ever click an attachment if you didn't specifically request it and know exactly what it is (And even then, best to double check).

Now there's a whole bloody black-market industry built on attachment malware.

I was told to never re-use passwords, never write them down, and never give my password to anyone.

Now we have apps that conveniently collect every single one of your passwords to provide a single-point weakness where one password unlocks your entire bloody online identity, and the point of even having separate passwords is completely lost. And it's somehow supposed to be 'more secure'.

I don't understand the internet anymore.

We use some of it. We've found it's good enough some times, and other times it's buggy and we've submitted patches against it. Try out our webservice (http://www.repustate.com) - it's free.
This advice seems to me to be misguided.

Suppose you have a standard database backed website. With his procedure the database would wind up on the internet, exploitable by anyone who knows of a security flaw in it. Under standard operating procedures you'd have a firewall which the web servers are accessible to, and a second firewall that allows the web servers to connect to the database but for nobody else to. Now if someone on the internet knows of a problem in your database software, it is not easily exploitable.
Another way is to hash a "salt" password with the domain (or something site specific). So if my salt was "assword" and I put the last 4 characters from the domain name interspersed at the end of my password it would look like this: asswaotrodr. Giving you a unique and complicated password for every site.
Seriously? You hear of a group of people who do good things, and your response is, "Well, they don't do as well as this other group that does good things!"

They did some really great things, and your response is "disgusting". Sad.

I strongly identify with this. I lucked into learning pure, typed FP at work and I can't go back.

I think there are professional opportunities doing FP in Haskell/functional Scala, though they are few and far between and in certain industries such as fintech or other areas where correctness matters more. Your best bet is to look for a remote position and keep your eyes peeled (at least, that's my strategy!).

The left-hand of darkness was strange, but somehow spiritually uplifting in a way I have trouble expressing.
Not really: the Enron fiasco happened because the government reduced its involvement, deregulating the power grid, and gave actors like Enron, Duke Energy and others the ability to manipulate the market, causing prices to swing wildly. California saw an 800% increase in wholesale energy prices. You object that the retail rates were set by law. But consumers could not handle that 800% increase; most people can't handle an unexpected expense of a few hundred dollars. Utilities weren't obliged to provide power when things went to hell, they imposed rolling blackouts. They had to.

With gasoline, you can wait and shop around; if a station tries to gouge you you can see if you can get a lower price down the block. The power grid has to be balanced on a continuous basis, and if it's out of balance, the grid operator has to obtain power immediately.

The power grid requires careful management. Call that "regulation" if you like, but it isn't optional.
It's not quite the same (not a hacker hangout, as such) but another good community is Metafilter. Not only do they moderate relentlessly, but there's a charge $5 to join...just enough friction to make the trolls think twice.
Yes, I believe all countries that invade, murder or interfere in elections should be sanctioned by the rest of the world in proportion to their transgression. There should be a club for those who play by the rules - and those who don't shouldn't get invited. Practically speaking, currently the rest of the world is too dependent on the US and China to be able to effectively sanction them, and I also hope this will change in the future, because sanctions sure are justified. I wish no suffering upon the Russian people, but they are the only ones that can legitimately (i.e. without invasions) replace their government with one that will play by the rules of international law. The rest of the world has no right to change their government, but we do have a choice of whether we will trade with them or not. So yes, basically any government that acts like a terrorist organization should have the same sanctions heaped on them. And finally, the Magnitsky Act shows that we can actually effectively target those in power in Russia without unduly targeting the economy of the Russian people - so I concede that pursuing that line first would be in order for humanitarian reasons.

We're already doing these things with North Korea and Iran. I don't see any compelling argument why the actions of the Russian government shouldn't land them in the same boat.
"<some government official> said <false claim>" is still factual reporting if said government official did in fact make the false claim. It would be wrong to cite it as proof that the claim is in fact true, but it would be a good source to cite to show that the claim was made.
One way to dampen the wave is to leave a lot of space between you and the car in front of you to keep a constant speed.

I do this in tunnels with heavy traffic where I know someone can merge in front of me. I keep a large space so I can prevent breaking and keep a constant speed. I get to the other end at the same time but everyone behind me gets a benefit from my constant speed instead of speeding up and breaking (wave).
Shouldn't that be:

let total = foldl (+) 0 (map face_value dice)
I don't disagree. But it's a weakness of C++, not of the language concept itself.

Perhaps if OP was saying you shouldn't use it for C++, then maybe I'd say he'd have a case.

It is disappointing to see women locked out of Wolfe's books, but I wouldn't want to see him write in a critic's idea of a Strong Female either. Not everything has to be for everyone.

In defense of the BotNS, I think that it's mostly lazy readers that think Severian is having his way with all these women - astute or second time readers will note that these women are manipulating Severian who is actually somewhat dim. (Consider Agia). But this is more likely to turn off female readers.

In the context of Wolfe's treatment of women The Sorcerer's House becomes a favorite novel. It seems designed to bait that most common criticism. Here's an excerpt from a 3/5 review:

"I'm not overwhelmed with the treatment of women in this book -- every woman wants to sleep with Our Hero, for example, and quickly opens up to him, and I don't see why. He's not charming, he's unsettling. But maybe that's because we see him through his own report of himself to his brother... I don't know. I'm not a fan, anyway. Even if it works for the character, I could have done with a female character who really stood out."

This response is I think what Wolfe was going for. Baxter getting all the girls is a glaring clue hiding in plain sight. But even if it's in service of the novel it's normal to want to have a character for yourself and is a reasonable expectation of a fantasy novel. Fair enough.

>"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges."

"The would-be sorcerer alone has faith in the efficacy of pure knowledge; rational people know that things act of themselves or not at all."
> Your price of electricity would probably double or even triple when switching to (cheap) renewables.

Finally someone who recognized that renewables are a magnitude more expensive instead of the usual "muh, renewables are cheaper!" fallacy. Look at the typical price per kWh in Germany (around 32ct/kWh) and tell me again how that is cheap...
The security implications of this kind of tech are scary. Going forward it will become really easy to reproduce the voice of anyone! It seems not a lot of training data is required to achieve reasonable results (e.g. Spong Bob is just 27min of voice, Half Life Black Mesa Announcer is just 1.9min!!). This stuff could be easily leveraged for scams and deep fakes (along with deep learning models that could also tweak lip movements to match the voice for example). Thankfully, there is also a very active area of research that leverages similar tech to detect deep fakes.
Bring back MMS? It had convenient carrier billing since the 1990s used for all kind of crap such as ringtones and whatnot, but is perfect for simple paid content publishing. It's even acceptable from a privacy PoV, since the carrier has your customer details already, so you're basically sending content anonymously. But it was kindof killed by Google due to the Android "stagefreight" bug, and really never recovered. Like for so many information channels it has closed, Google had no incentive to fix or enhance it when it doesn't contribute to their core business of forcing every point of contact into the fscking analytics-heavy web.
Strange, but interesting idea. It would be a net positive economically.
On behalf of Norwegian language users, thanks for the clarification. You explanation seems to be extremely precise.

(My qualifications: I've lived permanently in Norway since before 2000, I speak a Norwegian dialect and pass as a Norwegian all the time. I'm also married to a Norwegian woman so I kind of know the nuances. For Norwegians here: in my family it stops at "kone" even though by the dialect I speak it should rather be pronounced as "kåne" : ).
Randal Munroe tried to answer that in the book 'What If?' Basic conclusion is no. Virus would linger in a few hosts long enough to restart.

Flameshot is really good (I use it myself on Linux) but there are a couple features I miss from other tools. This probably suggests that I request these on their github :-)

- there doesn't seem to be an option that asks me to prompt for a file name and location if I want to save the screenshot at the time I have taken it. It will use a preselected location and an auto-generated name instead (and/or save to clipboard).

- if I want to annotate the image, it is done on the area of the screen the image was originally captured in. The method I prefer and used in other programs is to put the capture into a new window that you can move around and then edit within.
Jobs = power for politicans. A team of ten people that does the work of five people is five jobs that state legislators and high level bureaucrats can phone in "recommendations" for resulting in five big favors owed. A team of five that is paid like ten and does the work of five is a direct threat to their power and they will fight it tooth and nail.

I like the idea of fewer better paid jobs but I have no idea how we transition the current status quo from here to there.
The difference is the power differential: at the time Apple ran those ads, they were much smaller and semiregularly the topic of speculation about bankruptcy. Pitching them as better than the dominant platform was trying to get buyers to think of them as peers.

In this case, Intel has been the dominant player since the 90s, possibly the late 1980s in the consumer market. Running an ad saying they’re afraid of a newcomer’s first product (in this segment, of course) seems different because they’ve been a safe default option for decades - especially because this option was created to replace their products. It seems just as likely to make consumers wonder why they’re so worried about.
