People mail, text, or call me. Those who use WhatsApp know this and have the decency to take that into consideration.

I'll gladly deal with any downsides if that means maintaining the principled standpoint that being a member of society doesn't require owning either an Android or IOS smartphone, being forced to run someone's black-box proprietary software, and agreeing with some foreign mega-corporation's dubious terms of agreement. It's harmful for democratic society as a whole to engender such a dependency.

Besides, if the experience of friends and colleagues is anything to go by, opting in to Whatsapp means you get its downsides too: that one group member who keeps spamming everyone with noise, the constant demand for attention, the gossipy, sometimes down-right stalkerish neighbourhood watch groups (glad my neighbourhood hasn't hung up those sycophantic Whatsapp street signs), not to mention Facebook looking over your shoulder at the metadata level.

Author here. All the common stuff (that is based on 3D CSG without extensions) works fine, and most for 3D construction operators just produce a polyhedron with a simple algorithm (e.g., linear_extrude), so that's fine, too.

But some of the more advanced CGAL based operations for constructing 3D objects will not work in 2D, because they are inherently 3D and complex, e.g. 'hull', 'minkowski'.
It's not the primary reason, but it's a factor.

Low interest mortgages push up what people can afford, which contributes too.

But the housing crisis is fuelled almost entirely by investors, and seemingly many of those are foreign. They buy property in London because it's a relatively safe investment, recently it's been very high yield as the supply is nowhere near reaching the demand.

> Wireless only appears to be low error rate because the physical layer had to cover up it's shortcomings otherwise TCP's performance became abysmal.

It then seems that optimized protocols like QUIC could benefit from disabling this lower level error correction.

Is this at all possible? Do the wireless physical protocols allow for such a thing? Do the operating systems offer it as a flag?
I hate this debate. Firstly, this headline is terrible - the BBC basically states that Universities do not censor speech and the facts back them up. They make the perfectly valid point that practically all 'censorship', 'no platforming' and 'protests' cited are actually carried out by independent bodies such as student unions. The Spectator is just factually wrong, they're trying to conflate debates about what are valid ideas to discuss between independent political bodies at universities with the idea that the universities themselves are taking an active role in censoring speech which is incorrect.

Secondly, and more broadly though - it should be down to the people at university to decide what they discuss, what should be beyond discussion at their university and how those ideas should be discussed. No student is restrained from going outside of their campus to discuss ideas either. It's also not the same thing stopping someone speaking and stopping someone using university resources to speak. What this debate actually seems to be about is older, right wing people attempting to force their right wing view points into universities that simply aren't receptive to them. It's not good enough for Tom Slater that students simply don't want to hear his fact-free anecdata about censorship. The arguments simply don't stand up to basic scrutiny- if the problem is that Tommy Robinson is having his free speech curtailed, then quick! Take down those videos of him standing on stage outside the high court, take down that interview at the Oxford Union, censor those pictures of him having lunch in the House of Lords. But if one of the most famous right wing campaigners is being censored then I need a bit more evidence for it than just the convicted fraudsters word for it.

Well, yes and no. If your slice at 0.1mm with Hob3l, then slic3r can still decide that it uses 0.2mm or 0.3mm or 0.4mm slices -- it would just skip a few slices from Hob3l. I don't think there is a problem with that. It will get weird if you use Hob3l with 0.2mm slices and then slic3r with 0.35mm slices -- this will cause Moire effects.

In theory (if most of the runtime code being loaded is the same files underneath) then the page cache will also help with loading them -- you get benefits from the page cache as long as you're opening the same inode (which is why I'm talking about overlayfs -- because overlayfs allows page-cache sharing for base container images).

I do realize that this is using Alpine because it's small and easy to package, and that it's not in any way tied to Alpine. I wouldn't be surprised if you could do this on device right now by nuking the folder (which is helpfully exposed through Files) and unpacking a Debian filesystem into there. And I doubt any games will run at all, even if you do this, because emacs doesn't work currently due to missing system calls. My response was basically saying that along with "Alpine Linux likely doesn't support Steam, so if you download the app you won't be able to install it easily."

It's sad that the discussion of Brexit and EU-related matters in general always revolve around perceived economic issues.

Sure, a healthy economy is important for everyone, but the long-term goals of EU have always been to create a unity of countries with largely shared values to prevent future wars (incl. trade wars and cold wars) and to increase collaboration in all cultural, scientific and social matters. To grow together instead of alienating more and more until a new war breaks out, like it always happened in Europe's past in almost every century.

And now it's all about the money...
Me neither. Fortunately I was saying it isn't.
>My general thoughts is that typical software engineering does not have drastically more degrees of project uniqueness than other engineering fields.

I really doubt that. In construction for example, tolerances, materials, requirements, etc are know well before even a single brick has been laid, and if they are to even consider changing them mid-construction, detailed new plans about everything that changed is in process.

That's almost never the case with software requirements.

The same tools, processes and technologies are also used for decades or in some cases centuries totally unchanged. In software a domain (e.g. web programming) can be completely different every 5-10 years.

Brexit will be good for the Irish tech/finance scene but disastrous for agriculture and tourism.
Well, that's not an argument.

Do you disagree with the first, or the second argument?

Because both have had lots of corroborating evidence (including centuries of history and a whole recent-ish referendum to split Scotland into its own state for the first, and tons of scholarly debate and criticism against German control of EU policies and ECB in the NYT, Guardian, Economist, etc).

Ask HN: Advice on arguing with a person who yells to prove their point
I had somewhat of an unpleasant experience tonite, I won't get into the details but I was having a conversation with some people at a dinner party and one of them was very argumentative. I'm not one to stand by and allow someone to get away with making contrary statements backed up by false facts and was easily drawn into an argument. I tried laying out the reasons for my opinion but was shouted down and spoken over top of every time I opened my mouth. It got to the point where I became so frustrated I began to raise my voice and what began as an intelligent conversation eventually devolved into a shouting match between myself and this other person. Needless to say this has upset me to the point it is now 3am and I am unable to sleep so I figured I would ask how you folks would deal with this situation as I feel if this had occurred with someone at a work function, it could have a lasting effect on my career.

It reminds me of the brexiter voices in England who are furious with Ireland for having the temerity to stand up for what the UK has already agreed on - the NI backstop. It's a chauvinist sense of entitlement and over-confidence that has to some degree led to the brexit mess.

Smoking is a multi-stage attack on alveoli. You're both physically damaging them with the smoke and inhibiting their ability to regenerate. But they're a high-use tissue. Even without the additional damage, you're harming their ability to regrow.

Scotland voted remain due to several major factors, the main ones being:

1) SNP have their own agenda to get Scotland independent...

2) ...and the SNP believe that keeping the UK in the EU will make it easier for Scotland to become independent AND remain an EU member at a later date (not true btw, they would have to re-apply regardless).

3) Rural Scotland depends on EU subsidies for farming, and losing them would mean major economic problems for them.

4) An independent Scotland without EU support, is not economically viable.

The issue is that IP is generally handeled by the OS. This means that IPsec also needs to be handled by the OS.

The thing is, how you set up (mutual) authentication is very much an application level thing. Do you want certs, an SSH key, passwords, hardware tokens, SIM based authentication, or something else?
These aren't things the OS can decide, and they aren't so simple we could tell the OS what we want with a few flags.

Although @admitrov gave you a nice, long answer that may be correct (I'm no linguist), as a native Pole never in my life have I heard a difference between rz and ż. Same with ó and u, as well as ch and h.

*ch and h have historically been two different consonants but have gotten washed down into one.
Or are Brit plumbers simply overvalued and Eastern Europeans represent the true value of plumbing? I’m not sure if I should put a /s here or if I actually believe this.
Money is the means through which that unity is established. Country join up because it makes economic sense, because that's a short term reward, the long term reward which is less chance of war, is more uncertain and politicians rarely get the chance to be allowed to think long term about big decisions like this. Hence the whole Brexit fiasco in the first place.
Or alternatively, people in Scotland voted to stay in the EU because they want to stay in the EU, and it wasn't just to spite the English (around whom the world revolves, apparently).

This meshes with public opinion polling in Scotland where people say they want to stay in the EU. Sometimes the simple explanation that isn't based on all the foreigners hating you is the correct one.
I see it is fixed, but now when I enter a photography from that search it returns again the same "server error". Example: https://www.artic.edu/artworks/66427/georgia-o-keeffe-hand?i... I guess it is because it keeps the filters on the URL?
I don’t know about pre revenue companies, but, if you have to be secure and compliant with regulations from day one, you’re not going to take a chance with having a bunch of devs setting up your infrastructure. My bias probably comes from working mostly with companies in highly regulated fields.

Besides, I’m assuming that the cost savings a small company can get from being billed under a much larger organization account would make up for it. That and having cheap shared netops support.

Or maybe people who seemingly understood this "simple issue" forgot to see how the economy takes a hit, because of thousands of reasons, the middle class in GB becomes less wealthy and thus has less money to pay for plumbers.

And then maybe realize that it's all the same plus a bunch of downsides, but now the cheap Eastern Europeans cannot be blamed anymore.
I wouldn't be shocked to see a more favorable tax environment set up after Brexit to encourage financial firms to stay in London. Its pretty important they do as financials make up a huge chunk of the economy.
They actually understand it very well. Many of them complain about the same thing happening with H1B workers.

> if you didn't need to hook the syscall instructions, it is the lack of code signature on these files that is requiring the emulator

I had considered a very sketchy solution for this for a personal project (from the App Store's perspective) of what would be the equivalent of hacking the package manager to only install my packages which I sign beforehand with my certificate, which kinda allows installing arbitrary things to the extent of "what I have decided to compile and sign".

> The reason you need emulation is not to hook the syscall instructions, even if that is sort of in the same general area as true: it is because the code for these binaries is not shipped with the app and signed.

There are two "signing" issues here which really are the same but I've separated out because I felt it to be appropriate, though in reality the second shouldn't occur: one is loading unsigned, arbitrary code from say a package you just downloaded, and one is modifying the execution of the program to emulate syscalls. If you somehow got iOS to load and execute your unmodified unsigned ELF executable, then you'd have to emulate system calls in some way, which I suggested you could do by performing the modifications you'd normally perform before even signing the binary at runtime by manually patching syscalls in executable memory (which requires JIT).
I meant it to be wide
That Brit plumbers are more expensive does not mean they are overvalued. It means they are not cost effective, and that means they'll get less jobs. You can only be overvalued if anyone is actually paying you for your job. The reason that they're expensive is that cost of living is too high.

So the real question to ask is, do British plumbers expect a too high quality of life?
Yes, money is important. But it is not the only thing that is VERY important to most poeple. As a EU citizen I am yet to see any overflow whatsoever of plumbers! Nor do their wages, at least in my country (in Scandinavia) seem to go down at all.

That point aside, EU /is/ a peace project and will continue to serve that purpose as long as it is standing. I do not dare think too much of how fractured western Europe would be at this point in time if we had to rely on Russia and USA for our peace.
