I did a review of Shure in ear monitors. They sent me their entire product lineup, though I only reviewed two of their products. The highest priced monitor had a cable break 2 years later, with only minimal use in that period. They had/have outstanding customer support for this class of monitor, and replaced it for free. Cable broke 6 months later. They would have replaced that too, but I didn't pay for the monitors, and felt like it was right to push it. These are the type of in ear monitors musicians use on stage during performances, and easily run of $1k. They sounded fantastic, but they were as reliable as Apple's $30 corded airbuds.
I have to say that i really respect that you said this because it's the reality: fast violence gets international condemnation and slow, well-dressed violence gets valorized.

> Atheism is the belief that there is no God.

Atheism is the absence of the belief that there is a God. “Strong” or “hard" atheism is the belief that there is no God. (Agnosticism is the belief that the existence or not of God is either unknown or unknowable, it is, in either form, compatible with theism, atheism, and strong atheism, since belief in a position is not equivalent to belief that that belief is knowledge or that the subject of that belief is knowable.)

> It's a belief, and can't be proven or disproven by known methods of experimentation or observation.

Its the absence of belief in a thing in which belief cannot be justified by science, it is not merely compatible with science but the only position possible within a scientific framework.

Strong atheism is also compatible with science. (As are both forms of agnosticism.)

Assuming God was a testable hypothesis (which it is, to all analysis to date, not even in principle), a non-contingent atheism—a nonbelief or negative belief in God immune to review based on subsequent evidence—would be inconsistent with science, but then that's an apparently counterfactual assumption and not even clearly a common form of atheism.
Startup’s Robot Can Tidy Up a Messy House
The names of dishes (and ingredients) are culinary trade jargon, just like the names of the techniques used to prepare them. In order to achieve unambiguous communication between chefs across temporal and cultural distance, terms like "cacio e pepe" have to be taken to mean one fixed thing—one platonic ideal dish that someone hypothetically made at some point, that all such real dishes are attempts to recreate. Otherwise chefs will just be talking past one-another.

Certainly, you can do things any way you want, and cooks can evolve dishes any way they want. Despite this, terms like "proper [dish]" and "authentic [dish]" still have a use.

A "proper" dish X is the dish that a professional chef expects when they hear X—the culinary-jargon interpretation of the term X. (So: "proper" nigiri sushi is "the nigiri you'd prepare if your practical exam in a culinary academy was to make nigiri.")

As stated above, this is a pretty objective concept; "proper" X will continue to refer to the same exact dish no matter what country you're in, or how long it's been since the dish was invented. (Tweak the dish? New dish, new name. We have a flat global culinary namespace. Yes, regardless of language, because it has to avoid collisions once translated into French. It's much the same as zoology's binomial nomenclature's flat global Latin namespace.)

An "authentic" dish X is the dish that a chef conversant with the culinary heritage that originated the dish X, would make, if you ask them for X. (This is not to be confused with authenticity of ingredients. A Ukranian immigrant making borscht with American beets is using inauthentic ingredients to make authentic borscht.)

(Amusingly enough, often an "authentic" dish X is the least "proper" X, because the dish has evolved in its cultural homeland since it was invented, and so the global culinary profession's concept of the dish has diverged from its homeland's evolving conception of it. The avant-garde and the authentic can overlap. But the avant-garde cannot, by definition, be "proper.")

...and then there's the term "traditional", which just means for a dish X that the chef who made the dish is a traditionalist—nostalgic for some bygone era (where the era they're nostalgic for is left unspecified, can change from chef to chef, and can change over time!) This term is, by contrast, pretty useless. Saying "give me a traditional X" is kind of like saying "give me a [git ref HEAD~1] X." Might work for you now, but won't work later. Chefs don't tend to use the word "traditional" much. (Instead, they'll speak of a culture having a particular culinary tradition, but will identify a specific period of that tradition if they want to pinpoint a particular dish they want to make.)

It's been that way since at least 1.2 (I'm pretty sure since 1.0, but I haven't verified that memory). The process that `go get` follows is described by `go help importpath`.

The TL;DR is that it fetches `https://${pkgpath}?go-get=1`, and looks for `<meta name="go-import" content="...">` to tell it where to `git clone` from (with some hard-coded hacks for common websites that don't support that, like github.com).

> It's a bit weird to have a blog post about the new module system with nothing about how modules can be published, a pretty common task.

Because that hasn't changed. You still publish packages the same way you always have. The only difference in how you publish is that now "vSEMVER" git tags mean something.

The blog post links to the Semantic Versioning spec, specifically item 9.

> A pre-release version MAY be denoted by appending a hyphen and a series of dot separated identifiers immediately following the patch version. Identifiers MUST comprise only ASCII alphanumerics and hyphen [0-9A-Za-z-]. Identifiers MUST NOT be empty. Numeric identifiers MUST NOT include leading zeroes. Pre-release versions have a lower precedence than the associated normal version. A pre-release version indicates that the version is unstable and might not satisfy the intended compatibility requirements as denoted by its associated normal version. Examples: 1.0.0-alpha, 1.0.0-alpha.1, 1.0.0-0.3.7, 1.0.0-x.7.z.92.

Item 10 explains how + can be used to add a build tag.

> Build metadata MAY be denoted by appending a plus sign and a series of dot separated identifiers immediately following the patch or pre-release version. Identifiers MUST comprise only ASCII alphanumerics and hyphen [0-9A-Za-z-]. Identifiers MUST NOT be empty. Build metadata SHOULD be ignored when determining version precedence. Thus two versions that differ only in the build metadata, have the same precedence. Examples: 1.0.0-alpha+001, 1.0.0+20130313144700, 1.0.0-beta+exp.sha.5114f85.

Instead of using v1.2.3bigco1 or v1.2.3+bigco1, we should use v1.2.3-bigco1. If we need to add a build tag we can use v1.2.3-bigco1+001.
I actually think this comment hits a point.

It may sound "snobbery" to some, but there are important distinctions to make between the levels of how well something is prepared. The two most important being "proper" and "improper". Burnt rice, rotten meat, and missing ingredients are definite examples of "improper".

And cuisines can definitely have constraints on authentic, e.g. hard shell tacos, while delicious, are definitively not "authentic" Mexican. Just like adding spices to my grandmother's (or my) chai is an easy way to lose your head.. it's just not right. Would you like it if your salad resembled more a pasta? Or if you were served pizza as a mixed vegetable platter?[0]

I don't think parent^3 was being a snob because he wasn't describing a wine as being "better" because it tastes "oaky". A statement like that is probably deserving of hate, because what does oak even taste like?

Understanding the emotional reactions of people to situations is important. "How would you feel if"-type statements do not do that. They do, and are often intended to, shut down conversation instead of foster it.
Keep in mind, food tastes different in different regions. When I first arrived in the states, I had no idea what to do with ketchup or mustard or foods in the microwave bags. Back home (Europe) we grew everything ourselves in the garden and there was no need for processing the food or spices. In the states the food no longer is grown for taste, but for quantity.
Looking at the video I appreciate the garden foods, the flavor and uniqueness. You must have an acquired taste for that kind of food/spice to really appreciate it and enjoy it.
Thank you for writing this. This is the content I come to Hacker News to read.
I don't see.why above-ground parking is not considered. 5-7 levels of parking are about as many times as dense as a one-level traditional parking lot. It must cost much cheaper to build, though, especially if you can't dig a lot, due to financial or environmental constraints.
Interesting. When a city lists a dollar figure, is that the monthly rent, or total cost? (rent + estimate of meals etc)

Dunno if you've used them but you might find this insight helpful if you're ever keen on them in the future,

I find the sound quality argument hillarious. They barely block any outoutside noise, which is great for the commuter use case. You want to hear traffic and train/bus stop announcements.

They're perfect for that use case.

They're not meant for sound quality but they aren't nearly as bad as people would think by how much this is brought up.

If you want quality / noise cancelling on your commute go for Sony mx3's.

Maybe it’s just that I spent a lot of time in Mexico growing up, but I think ceylon cinnamon is better for every purpose I can think of. I wouldn’t describe it as “floral” though.

My impression is that cassia cinnamon is usually used because it is cheaper.

On Manhattan it's different because the land is so expensive. There are very few grocery stores around Times Square or Bryant Park: those who afford to live there don't to grocery-shopping themselves, and just won't notice the expense of food delivered right to their door.
I think you provide a convincing case of the problems of statistical significance:

Without context on the 800 scientists that signed, we don’t know whether it’s stastically significant or not. 800 Nobel prize winners would certainly mean more than 800 graduate students. The discipline they were in could matter. I didn’t check you’re math, and I’m sure it’s fine. Raw statistics cannot reject the hypothesis (or null).

A swift change in the gun laws is very interesting when you know more of the story. At the first mosque, somebody ran to get a gun for defense.

The attacker would of course be unlikely to follow the law.

Hey, if you're ok with fast food and take-out, that's great. Nothing wrong with that, and it gives you flexibility. But if you have to do it in a hotel up here in the mountains, you'll still spend multiples more money than you will at a place like mine -- a place that also gives you a full kitchen.

> you have to have someone in the group spend time cooking and cleaning instead of just enjoying the trip.

That person is me. I love to cook, and I assure you it's quite possible to enjoy a vacation while making crepes for your friends. :)

> it would be a sign that it’s not a financially good idea to plan the trip so soon and I should save money longer before going.

Or, if you were able to stay in a home instead of a hotel, you could save enough money to make the trip affordable now, instead of waiting until later in life to enjoy it.

It seems like you might just really like hotels. I think that's fine, and I think a lot of people agree with you. Vacations are what you make of them, and it sounds like you've really got your act together. I admire that. But it also seems like you're trying to apply your own standards and experience generally to everyone else. I'm pretty sure if you asked the folks who rented my place for a week over Christmas what they think, they'll say they'd rather not pay twice as much money for a couple of small hotel rooms in Dillon with no kitchen. Because like it or not, that's my competition.
A Kid Spent 9 Years Building a Detailed Paper Model of a Boeing Jet (2017)
Sure.

Essentially, the parent article was discussing how they broke out the soldering iron and learned about wireless integrated circuits. At a large enough scale, it makes great sense to do this engineering work: design a PCB with power supplies and analog circuits, figure out connections to peripheral sensors, put that PCB and sensors into an injection-molded piece of plastic, add fasteners and brackets to mount sensors, install connectors and terminate wires on the sensors and boards, write assembly and C code to make them all talk to each other
...taking on all the overhead.

But for a lot of small runs of equipment, this doesn't make sense. Buy the strain gauge already in an enclosure with standardized interfaces and built-in amplifiers, get a small computer (PLC) that's already in an enclosure and has terminals to connect to those sensors, write code in a high-level language designed for talking to sensors, and ship it.

It's like somebody wanted to build a website, so they started digging into network protocols. There's a place for that, but it should be approached long after you've fired up a Wordpress instance.

Australia recently passed a draconian anti-encryption law [2] which will impact a number of multi-national companies.

Australia doesn't have free speech in so far as the US does with the first amendment. Australia doesn't have a citizen Bill of Rights either. This combined with Australian's penchant for not taking risks does bode well for using it as a Five Eyes testing ground to remove what some would consider basic rights.

Random question: for the preconnect, is there some Javascript API now that allows for the monitoring of the TLS handshake?

As specified in the article, the handshake is:

TLS handshake (only for HTTPS sites). Perform two roundtrips
(a message goes client → server → client → server → client) to initiate a secure TLS session

Is there any part of that which could be used to send a custom message to the client? A short bit of text or a number or something. Don't really have a practical use for this, just more of an esoteric one.
