That is precisely what I was talking about. "Do what you love" is fine, "expect to get paid for doing what you love" is not. If you love singing, for example, by all means do it, do it a lot, but don't let the market turn what you love into a grind by making it your profession if the market has 100 people trying to get that career for every job opening. Pick something you are ok with, that others want to pay for, and it's ok if what you love is a hobby.

There is some programming I love doing; it's not generally the stuff I am getting paid to do. That's ok, as long as I realize that it's ok.
No, channel admins register their channel to a bot (ChanServ) with special privileges over the network, so the bot can never be taken over.

I've been using IRC for about a decade, and almost all networks I have seen have such a bot.
I think that ship has sailed, since the meaning has been in use for almost 50 years now.

As someone who can't stand the use of "they" as a singular pronoun, I also understand fights against the evolution of language are battles that I won't win.

The destructive civil war between 1927 to 1950 between the Kuomintang and the CCP had a big impact. So did the 1930s Japanese invasion.

Most damning of all, Mao's bad economic policies directly killed more than 35 million people, mostly through starvation. He killed more people than Stalin or Hitler.

But the CCP does not discuss these much. It's harder to accept that another 30 years of humiliation (from 1949 to 1979) was the leadership of China shooting itself in the foot.

Remember that second and third order effects are difficult to measure. EVERYTHING is first, second, third etc order effect of something that happened in the past. China's current growth can only occur in the post WW2 US world order that allows all nations to lift themselves out of poverty through trade.

For other readers: parent account is 10 months old with only 1 other comment. This is an indication of a 50 cent army member or at least someone who has been influenced by CCP propaganda, which has grains of truth but systematically exaggerates the influence of certain things.

It is though an interesting question to what China would be like if the Opium Wars never happened.

I'm sorry, but $257 for a spacebar repair is simply absurd. To put it in perspective, $72 more would get you a base-spec iPad.

Much much worse in my experience: iPhone X scratches easily.

That said I would add that I deliberated a lot over whether the X was worth it, and looking back now over the best part of a year I can say a resounding “yes”. I was really worried that iteration one of a new product was going to suck, but the only fault I’ve noticed is the glass scratching easily. Apart from that, I feel that Apple really nailed the iPhone X, one of their all-time best designs.

There's another half to this advice: if you have clearly improved yourself, you should consciously add on some self-esteem.

I say this as someone who was depressed about who I was, affected a lot of (positive, by most standards) change in myself over several years, but didn't catch my self-esteem up for several more. The initial painful spark to improve yourself can be good and is I think underrated today, but nurturing it can hurt you even as it makes you strong.
Clever stuff. I like that the author used modern techniques (python) to generate the custom C64 character set.
Why do you say it’s clickbait? That quote seems pretty typical TR.

FWIW, NIN really pushes the technology envelope in their live shows, sound recordings and marketing ideas. That seems pretty compatible with HN audience.
Fair points, but it feels like the product of an intensely individualistic society and at some point the impact of that has to be taken into consideration, considering the effect it has on government, policy, and culture.

If a group can look at evidence of successful public transport (and other things) and still decide that can never work for them, for various nonsensical reasons (big country, x million people, the guiding hand of the free market, whatever), then they can at least be honest with themselves and say what their problem really is.

I think I'm a simpleton because I could never imagine time being it's own thing. I see time as simply the amount of change in reality we can perceptually sample. Much like how an object in motion will continue in it's motion until it meets resistance,reality in my opinion is in continuous motion that has yet to meet resistance. Time (imo)is our measure of this change divided by our ability to sample it(where this ability could be second,minute,etc...)

Again,that's my opinion as a layman. I've always wondered why time was the focus, when I at least have been more curious about universal change. Why is everything in motion? and how is everything universally connected to where it changes at the same rate?

Maybe there's already plenty of work on this and I'm being ignorant(apologies if so).
I never really thought about it before when seeing the proposals but when looking at the guide's sample code, I wonder if this decision is something we'll end up regretting. As it reads, it sounds like you are declaring something is a crate akin to `mod` which I can see being confusing for new users.

Some interesting stats:

> In 2017 there were 30 active shooting in the US. Largest every during 1 year period. (Not sure what the definition is of active shooting)

> No demographic trends except for gender. Noteworthy absence of violent criminal history in overwhelming majority of adult shooters.

> 88% of shooters 17 and under "leaked" or revealed clues that they were going to cause harm. One shooter talked to a gas station clerk about "killing a family"

> 30% of shooters create a legacy token (manifesto, etc.)

> 35% owned a firearm that was purchased prior to planning the attach. 40% purchased a firearm legally and specifically for their shooting.

> 89% of shooters had concerning behavior noticed by others. Their percentages get weird and add to over 200% at this point, but it looks like the majority of these are reported to either non-law enforcement authority, family, or law enforcement.

The gist of the report is most shooters show a lot of concerning behavior and can't effectively cope with it. Most people deal with stressors in a healthy way, but shooters experience a lot of stressors and can't deal with them effectively. Most have a primary grievance, or main thing that pissed them off (mostly work or school). Mental health appears to play a smaller role than you'd expect, the environment plays a huge role.
Dart has always had optional static types. With 2.0, those be come mandatory. If you are familiar with Swift, then dart would be Swift with a GC rather than ref counting and without tuples (or rather, the reverse would be true as dart is older than Swift).

For reasonably generic parts like rubber feet, suitable replacements can be had for far cheaper than OEM:

(And also don't forget Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and almost all of Latin America among the liberal democratic governments, and Turkey until recently.)

But I think the emphasis on values is unfortunately not true. The parent overlooks all the right-wing dictatorships that the U.S. allied with, from Indonesia under Suharto to Iran (under the Shah) to Iraq under Saddam Hussein (when Iran turned against the US) in the 1980s to Chile under Pinochet to the junta in Greece to Saudi Arabia to Egypt to Mobutu in Zaire/Congo to Central American dictators to many more on every continent.

And today, right-wing dictatorships are arising among NATO allies, but I haven't heard a word about ejecting them from the alliance.

It is extremely within the CIA's ability to plant a VM on a computer. It is not established that the password was known only to "the defendant," as if the CIA alleging that is the case makes it true.

Extensive file system logs are also easy to generate. They could also be legitimate access logs but the VM itself was compromised by the CIA.

IRC logs are literally a text file. It would be extremely easy to fake those as well.

Do you really think the CIA is incapable of doing something like this? Hell, if I were able to obtain the password used to encrypt the VM (easily within the realm of possibility with CIA resources) I could do each one of these things myself.

The CIA has many extremely clear motivations to set this up, and they absolutely have the means to do so. They have also in the past been caught doing far, far worse. In addition the Vault 7 leaks contain instructions for doing exactly what many suspect here -- planting something like CP covertly in order to frame someone.

Come on, man.

I appreciate this. There are too many times that example code omits things and as someone new you get confused as to what the boiler plate is you should use.
Yup, in games we used to call this "asset cooking" where you target the platform specific texture compression in addition to tiling that you get as a part of that format.

You get a nice 3-6x memory savings plus put less pressure on the texture samplers as memory bandwidth drops as well.
I'm not kjeetgill, but I also group things visually in 5 when counting.

On your question, I feel less confident in my count, the more things I have to count. Since there will always be fewer groups of 5 than groups of 1, I always feel more confident counting in groups of 5 than of 1.

EDIT:

It's like divide and conquer. You divide the work by first making sure each group has only 5 items by glance counting (what kjeetgill means with 2 + 3), and then you count the groups, and add what didn't fit in any group.

Having the work divided like this makes it easier to verify that it was all done correctly. You'll end up feeling more confident about some groupings than others (because of the way the items are positioned) and you'll just want to recheck the ones you're not so confident about and readjust accordingly. Once you're confident in the groupings, you can recount the groups more easily than having to recount each individual thing.

For most sums, you'll end up adding less than 5 or 10 things at each step, which is easy.
From the title alone I expected an article about the imminent decline of america and maybe even some stats. I was definitely not expecting to learn about NIN's new tour.

If it makes you feel any better, most of The New York Times is just advertorials and a subversive promulgation of government agendas.

In a sense, it's already all bought and paid for, as with most "news" outlets, and the same is true for HN, albeit with a specialization for technology.

GTK does not have this requirement. I just have to know the correct DPI. Fonts are rendered natively at whatever resolution, so are the vector or procedurally drawn widgets.

> Frankly, I totally understand the reasoning of not wanting a lame-duck president to nominate a Supreme Court Justice

That's understandable.

I don't think you understand the definition of "lame duck". It refers to the period between election and inauguration. It is completely unreasonable to treat the entire final year that way.
I ask my question again.
Sure, but at the same time, someone who is unwilling to give second chances to the pioneers who took risks before them -- that's more toxic.

> immigrants were from countries with similar sensibilities

People in the U.S. have been complaining about the 'values' and 'sensibilities' of the new immigrants since Benjamin Franklin would go off about Germans. Then of course it was Irish, the Italians, etc. etc. Older generations of Central European Jewish people even complained about the Eastern European Jewish immigrants at the turn of the 20th century. Of course, for most Americans, those people with the 'wrong values' and 'foreign sensibilities' are your ancestors.

Human beings have their own sensibilities as individuals, not those of some country or ethnicity - people in my own family don't even share those things. I'm sure the parent would not want to be told what they will think and what they will do based on where they were born; that they can't determine their own character; it's absurd. And the truth is that when you give them liberty and opportunity, they thrive and share those same universal values. The track record is undeniable.

So please let's not make the same mistake again. The sensibilities of 1930s Germany? Italy? Egads. Though I guess they also discriminated based on nationalism and ethnicity.

It's a happy, wonderful thing: Let's believe in people, give them freedom and opportunity, and everyone thrives.

I used to be a Free Software fanatic (and still prefer to use it when feasible). But Apple stands behind its products like no other computer company (see also its battery replacement program) and frankly, I've been craving a Mac lately (currently using a Dell Developer Edition and a self-built desktop, both running Ubuntu).

I think I'll save up for a Mac Pro since the RAM, graphics, and SSD (not to mention screen) are relatively easy to replace or upgrade.
Just like your sibling comment finds my claim (on a substantially smaller number of laptops) hard to believe, I find your claim impossible to believe. So either you're right and it's somehow regionalized, or people just aren't reporting the problem.

The latter wouldn't surprise me! Lots of people use external keyboards, or just deal with the petty frustration of having to hit certain keys much harder or backspace out the repeats.

John Carreyrou – Author of Bad Blood: AMA
It would be very un-Apple-like to backtrack on USB (much as I'd like them to), but reintroducing HDMI and SD wouldn't be a backtrack.

The difference is that one could reasonably assert that the industry will eventually migrate away from USB-A (even if the timeframe for that is highly debatable). But there is no case at all to be made for moving away from HDMI or SD – the idea of using USB-C ports instead of HDMI on TVs and projectors is only in its earliest proposals, and there is nothing on the camera industry's horizon to replace SD cards with any kind of USB-C compatible media.

USB-A may be superseded (if only technically) by USB-C, but HDMI and SD have no current successor.
I also wonder: if I was going to work for the CIA, wouldn't they triple check everything about what I do before hiring me? Whether the child porn evidence was real or planted, the agency doesn't seem to gain much credibility here.
The secret treaty between President Roosevelt (relation of the leading drug pushers) and Japan, giving the Japanese permission to invade Korea/China in 1905 didn't help either.

Many historians believe reversal of this treaty caused Pearl Harbor and started WW2.

Quite embarassing for the Nobel Prize winning Roosevelts indeed.

There is nothing about the use of a VM that is "hard to explain away." You know what a VM is, right? You know anyone could plant things on a VM just like any other computer, right? You know there are many ways someone like the CIA could obtain a password used to encrypt a VM, right? Perhaps it was not always encrypted? Perhaps his host machine was infected with a key logger? Perhaps they used an exploit in the software he used to encrypt the VM, or a proprietary exploit designed to do exactly this, produced in conjunction with any number of software companies. There are many, many ways this could have happened, and the existence of a VM means literally nothing.

Why are you convinced the presence of a VM in this is significant?

I've been to Cuba. There are old cities in the Spanish style, and new ones (1950s) in the american style.

In the spanish cities you can walk comfortably. The buildings are tall enough and near enough to the sidewalk that you can always find shade. And everyone walks on the shaded side of the street.

In the american cities the buildings are set back, and there is no shade. People still walk (they're poor), but there are a lot more horse carriages that pass by to offer people lifts. Walking isn't so feasible.
