> This defense didn't work in Nuremberg, and it won't work with me.

Great. Unfortunately you're not the emperor of the United States and people will continue to take jobs that harm society. Seeing what happened to the Nazis tried in Nuremberg did exactly nothing to stop the same thing from happening in Indonesia, Rwanda, and other post-WWII mass killings. This is because people who do these things, don't actually think they're doing bad things.

For example, in your original comment you're justifying a system where exploitation of labor, violation of privacy rights, and support for despotic regimes are permitted because it promotes a culture of innovation. By your standard I should hold you accountable for helping whitewash these practices by making them the responsibility of individual employees - who have little real power to influence their employer's decisions. However, you clearly don't see yourself as culpable because you're defending what you believe is a higher goal: innovation.

Now consider that the people who choose to continue to work on these projects feel exactly the same way you do, except they justify their behaviour by some other ends: perhaps they need to support a family, or care for an elderly relative, or they're just demonstrating the idea of "permissionless innovation" with their own employment choices. And why not? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

> Don't give me any bullshit excuses for continuing, if you know it's wrong stop supporting it!

Perhaps you should apply this to your own opinions before suggesting others apply it to their lives.
I ask in ignorance, but: could these particles actually have come from space in the normal way (i.e. from above the South Pole) and then just been reflected back up from several meters or so below the surface? That would, on its face, seem to resolve the question about strong vs. weak interaction: they’d be strongly interacting particles that happened to interact and ricochet straight back.
Is it plausible that that AC759 could have taken out all 4 other planes? I don't really have a sense of the distances planes are spaced out on taxiways at major airports.

They often turn into that. Unfortunately, in many ares you don't have a lot of choice - nearly all new housing is in an HOA, most established "good neighborhoods" are in an HOA, and not enough housing turns over in non-HOA, non-crappy neighborhoods.

I became president of ours on a promise to reduce dues and shrink the scope of the HOA as much as possible. It's a giant PITA, but less so than if the crazy, bored and power-hungry types took it over. We remind people with truly out of control maintenance issues to clean it up, and will only get more aggressive on super egregious things. As it should be.
It would help the thread to get a tighter definition of what would qualify as programming.

If having the operator manually re-configure parts counts as programming, then we've probably already achieved purely mechanical value.

They run an embedded Mongo DB on their UniFi hardware that (at least in the deployment I've inherited) requires occasional direct interventions[1] to keep running. That's just one example of the many baffling/wrong things they do.

I know Mongo gets quite a bit of undeserved hate, but it really just doesn't seem suitable for this use case.

> Is there anyone who actually thinks that what some random YouTuber says is the official word of YouTube?

If the government tells YouTube which YouTube videos to suppress, no matter how "unimportant" the "random YouTuber", then the government is restricting both the YouTubers' speech, and YouTube's right to prioritize information as it sees fit. Just the same as if the government told newspapers which articles were allowed to appear on the front page, or which op-eds it could select.

Let's turn your criticism right back around: Would that kind of regulation be tolerable to you if we were talking about conservative publications/websites, and it were a liberal government telling them what to do?

To be honest, I had been pondering about how I personally put so much energy in learning, exploring software etc, yet it seems to depend on, at it’s core, a few other important innovations. It’s like saying I’m a speech therapist, but Darwin decides not to bring a mouth, tongue, or hands to write with. When the lights go out, is it relevant?
You were banned, or rather your troll account was banned, because of a long history of posting crappy comments (by the standards of the site guidelines, which include no political criteria) and ignoring our multiple requests to stop. It's just that simple, and anyone who bothers going back through the history can see it.

It's not uncommon for people who were banned to fancy themselves a political dissident and go on about how repressed they are. But the truth is less glamorous: moderation is janitorial work, and the stakes are trivially low.

I'm confident that the HN community supports how we sweep the barn, because if they didn't, we'd never hear the end of it. And what we see is just the opposite: the community flags comments like these ones, from all political quarters. Even your comment upthread was flagged after I unkilled it, so I had to unkill it again.

Hence the nice people behind metric came up with the tonne.

Oobe is either

2)don't use those lists.

Option 2 is available in the installer before you're even up and running. There is only so much hand holding we can do, to be fair. We have an extensive support community, and plenty of documentation, and yes, whilst I agree some users may fall between the cracks, the majority are able to find a solution to their problems.
Its not the HTML generation that's slow, it's everything that comes after. Usually lots of Javascript to run media and ads. Unfortunate, but it's driven by business decisions, not tech.
you're a techie i'm guessing? How many of your friends/family ask for tech support/advice? There's a serious multiplier effect at work. I'm a high school IT teacher.

Do you start over from scratch in terms of your mental model or just in terms of the actual code?

I’ve found using APL helps me to generalize a problem but the underlying code will often look very different.

I have found I waste a lot of time in other languages trying to re-use components that aren’t necessarily a good fit just because I have already written them.

The idea is intriguing. Perhaps it'd be possible to structure web crawling and indexing as a decentralized operation - drawing inspiration for crypto based storage networks.

Gonna ponder this
Well, my point (which I tried to do sarcastically, admitted) was that I disagree that it's hard to draw a line here:

One is a regulation with restricted scope and consequences in a system that otherwise has human rights and individual freedom as core values. (Which doesn't make the regulation itself any good)

The other is a system with control of individual knowledge at its root and then developing regulations to further that goal as needed.

So, actually, yes, I have thought about it and no, I don't think you can.
Hi HN! I made a small tool that allows you to go to windows directly. This currently only works on X11 but it should be portable to Wayland.

It's very helpful if you have a large multi-screen setup where you have windows all over the place and want to go directly to a certain window somewhere without using the mouse and movement controls. It's most useful when using a tiling window manager.

It was heavily inspired by i3-easyfocus [0] but that doesn't do TrueType fonts and no high DPI so it's unusable for me.

From a technical side it was made with Rust, Cairo (for drawing and font stuff) and xcb/x11 for X interaction.

Hopefully someone finds this helpful.

Ate you saying asbestos bound in cement is not dangerous? That's simply not true. Things like wind erosion, wear and tear, accidental breakage, can cause the fibres to escape the cement. This seemingly simple problem makes it very difficult to safely demolish buildings that were built in the golden age of asbestos.

Asbestos battles are still being fought in Belgian courts, because workers who produced/installed/removed it got sick.
'Deepfake' videos emerging threat in war on fake news
As a non-American working in tech, I read this with horror. Tech jobs are not like this in my experience.

Yes, there are always the odd asshat and bad manager. But generally speaking, if a manager asks you to work more hours and you reply "you need to pay me more money for that" (as I did) then the rest of the workplace will applaud you.

Crunch time and death marches happen occasionally to meet stupid deadlines, but in most cases we've been given time off / slack after the deadline to compensate.

The sexism exists, yeah. I've fought that for my whole career, and still see it cropping up. Much worse in Australia than the UK, but still present in tech culture.

Also, vacation... most of us in the Anglosphere get 4 weeks paid vacation (plus about another 2 weeks paid sick leave). I gather that's not normal for the US.

If an employer asked me to fly long distance in my own time, and then work ~20 hours a day for a week, I'd quit the job too. How on earth is anyone supposed to produce good work without sleep? Wtf is the company thinking?

Spacing between planes on a taxiway is a lot shorter than you would imagine. Depending on type, a 25-50 meters apart is common.

Keep in mind that these four planes were preparing for take-off, meaning that they were fully fuelled...
Interesting situation - best of luck with everything!

If you have the means, you should document your story on social media, photographing what you build. "Homeless guy trades handy skills for renovation" (while possibly exaggerating a bit) is a catchy story and could lead to more, stronger opportunities.
In fact if it was actually reaching 143 C, I'd say that ironically I'm more positively impressed by the fact the hardware works at all at that temperature than I am negatively surprised by the fact that its thermal controls are that bad.
I maintain a blog built on static tools since 2009, which is older than most people's blogs I see on Hacker News: https://alexn.org

Hosting is free if you host it on GitHub Pages. I have my own VPS on DigitalOcean. Maintenance of that node is insignificant though, as the machine auto-updates itself. And you don't need to do it if you're on GitHub or GitLab Pages or other similar services.

The initial cost was a little high, setting it up and all. But now that cost is virtually zero.

And guess what ... it's mine, my blog, my website, on my own domain. It's part of my identity, it's the link I place in email signatures. It's my creation, just like my work or open source contributions.

In 2005 when my career started I was also using a blogging service. Until my membership was revoked for some reason and I lost articles in which I poured my soul in. Never again.

Outsourcing your blog to others is ... foolish. And not having a blog, as a computer scientist, is equally foolish.

So setup a static blog with a tool like https://jekyllrb.com. The initial setup smells like yak shaving, however you'll get over it and you won't regret the investment.

The particles can't be reflected like that. We do see reflected radio emission from (presumably) cosmic ray air showers, but the polarity of the signal undergoes a sign flip on reflection.

I'll also second the OP as I'm not what I consider a morning person (when unemployed, more 10a-2a for natural rhythm) but my current job has me getting up around 5:30a. I might be a convert though because, as they said, getting a lot done early is pretty amazing. I like being home by 4 and having a large block of time to do spend however I want. And it translates to weekends too where I find myself up in the world early. I live in LA though so our daylight shifts aren't as drastic in winter as other places.

We did.

Thanks to Shannon and many others, we figured out we should 'pack more' into tinier spaces (circuits [0]), using less symbols (binary [1]).

True, it's difficult not to leak personal details in ways that most users do not expect and/or want, which makes it easy to game by providing deceptive solutions.

GDPR is a attack on memory, starting with conditioning to accept regulation on what experiences can be legally remembered* (like who visited your property and their attributes). It starts on a subclass to make it acceptable.

Once that is 'OK' the power centers can expand memory restrictions and go back to adding rules on what can be said (transmitted or acknowledged).
