As a society we habituate to a horrific human toll as long as we don’t viscerally experience a short-term shock. The US has ~10 9/11s worth of traffic fatalities per year, but we aren’t flipping out and dedicating ourselves to rebuilding transportation infrastructure, because we just don’t care that much.

I hope that we don’t get too complacent about opiate deaths and start thinking of this as normal. We do need a nationwide coordinated mobilization I think. I hope it happens. I think it will require pragmatic political leadership that treats this as a public health crisis rather than a job solely for law enforcement.
I once tried 15 and severely hated carrying such a huge device. I mostly dock my laptop so i dont mind the screen. I love the 13" size
We're all assholes to some extent, but Twitter accentuates that aspect of many personalities. It seems fine-tuned to generate heat with no light. Many people have withdrawn from public life entirely because Twitter could never be arsed to implement decent blocking mechanisms.
"The change, however, affected the plane’s aerodynamics. Boeing discovered the new position of the engines increased the lift of the aircraft, creating a tendency for the nose to pitch up."

The problem wasn't just the ground clearance. the problem was that aerodynamically had issues (not so well balanced probably). So when they were trying to fix "this" something else was breaking and so on. That's why they introduced this MCAS software in the first place. It wasn't some new fancy tech but it was just a system to help with the bad 737's aerodynamics.
BSD is easier still.
Holy shit I've wasted so much time.

So why does Apple make me submit a video of my app working in the real world if they can just spoof the location from their end?
Seems like there should be an easy proof of that ...
> Neither. Java makes it easy for developers that suck to contribute.

So do PHP and Visual Basic. Both of those languages are very well known for having a larger than normal amount of developer suckage, but they don't seem to have the same sort of fragility as Java. There are a lot of shitty Wordpress plugins out there, but never have I ran in to one that only worked on a specific narrow window of PHP releases in the same way as many terrible Java apps are with the JVM.
If all people wrote perfect programs in all programming languages at all times there are no problems, true. But these kinds of file names are landmine for all programming languages. I I think it is much better to ensure that simple programs are usually the correct programs. And please note, as the article discusses, this is not just a shell problem, all programming languages have problems.
> but having a professor as a boss is like if a famous open source developer was your boss.

This would be a dream for me :D. Instead we get 'jira assigners' as managers in tech.
It's a 2013 T430u with an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 chip. It only supports 2.4 GHz, and not 5 GHz. I use a second, external USB WiFi dongle for Wireshark and other uses. It's six years old and great to use for more than I thought it would be.
As the article already points out, not using the shell (or fixing the shell) would fix many of the problems with spaces and newlines in filenames but there are still others that are more fundamental. For example:

* Filenames starting with hyphens can get parsed as command line options

* Filenames containing control sequences cause the terminal to misbehave if they are printed to the screen

* Filenames containing newlines can't be easily included in all sorts of line-by-line file formats.

Finally, as the article also points out, the shell is not going away anytime soon. Getting rid of it is not the easy way out.
Often, too often, I forget to set the sleep timer and fall asleep with the TV on. Often enough to notice, what's on TV shows up in my dreams (in some form).

I'm not sure if I could learn but I bet I could prime my brain with basics (e.g., vocabulary words in my non-native language).
MacBook Pros not being user serviceable at every component level doesn’t mean they’re not environmentally friendly - not by a long shot. In fact, building a device like that might even shorten lifespan in a laptop form-factor, not to mention no one wants to carry around a heavy, clunky machine so it likely wouldn’t sell anyway.

Here’s an example report that mostly has to do with the production and recycling aspects: https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/products/notebooks/15-...

When people are done with their MacBooks they don’t just throw them out - they sell them or hand them down to their relatives/kids because they still work well enough, are supported by the manufacturer, are durable and have very high resale value in secondary markets.

Robust engineering, longevity, support, and resale markets do more for the environment than making components user-replaceable.

My old 2011 MacBook Air is still going strong and being used by my mother. If anything goes wrong, she can take it to the Apple store and get help promptly. She still gets software updates, and that thing can STILL be sold for ~$250-300 on eBay, Swappa or Nextdoor. If the machine breaks completely, she can take it into the Apple store to get it properly recycled in almost any part of the world.

That’s what minding the environment looks like. You have to look at the entire lifecycle of the product from the moment the raw materials are sourced all the way to making it easy to recycle when a product is end-of-life.

By far the best onscreen „hacking“ I know of. He does use Linux Mint as daily driver though...
Pi isn't proven to be absolutely normal so it might not be in there.
The problems continue. For example, if you are writing a program in Python 3, and directly execute another program with a filename as its first parameter, it is extremely easy to have problems if the file name begins with a dash. Notice this has absolutely nothing to do with shells, you do not need to have a shell at all for this to be a problem. The problem happens in all cases, because the dash is an option indicator in many programs.

And that is just one example. As I discussed in the article, even displaying file names can be a big problem because they can include control characters that can control the terminal in which they are being displayed.
Show HN: Kanye.rest – A Free REST API for Random Kanye West Quotes
Yeah, accept those writes and favour availability. Customer was a wealth management company.

Imagine a customer has £100 in their account. System partitions. Customer withdraws £70, hitting one DC. Customer then hits the second DC, this time withdrawing £50. Each DC thinks the transaction is valid, and so serves it.

Later when the partition is restored, events are played back, and divergent history is detected via the vector clocks - the two withdrawals are not causally related. Remediative action can then be taken.

Transactions prevent bad things happening, but require CP semantics. Eventual consistency allows AP, allows bad things to happen, meaning you have to be able to detect them and clean them up later.
It's a good point, but the prominent placement of those cutoff switches, and the criticality of runaway stab trim, suggests it should be solidly there in training.

I'm sure the training issue will be prominent in the NTSB report.

Note that stall recovery is heavily trained, but airliners still crash because the pilot reflexively commands nose up in a stall instead of nose down. And the MCAS system is there to nose it down in a stall.
And if you copy and paste that version, it won't work either.

Also, be aware this will silently delete older files with name collisions.
You are probably thinking of the WATS pins. It was a huge thing at the time to war dial entire exchanges to find them, and then publish the lists. A lot of the time people would then use unsecured bridges to hold mass group chats. Beto was no stranger to those circles, even though cDc actively stated the level of risk one takes on when doing so.

Bridges were terrible for modems, as at any moment another war dialer would connect, or people looking to chat, and knock the modem offline from the announce beep.

The chats were mainly social, but a lot of technical discourse occurred, which was a huge draw.

Oh wow! This is so cool!
Trully i can say this artcle is quite usefull for those people who can't control themselves during gambling playing. I liked some sentences and i also wanna quote them..

Casinos like to control just how quickly gamblers can ruin themselves. The conventional wisdom is that a slow drain is superior to the sudden flush. The house wants you to lose just enough that you’ll come back and lose again tomorrow. Casinos therefore limit the amount you’re able to bet on a single game—usually no more than $10,000. The table limit protects the house’s interest—if the gambler happens to win, it isn’t always easy to come up with that much cash—while restraining those recklessly seeking the ecstasy of Zarathustra, like moths to the flame.

I played different types of gambling games: lottery, roulette, bets, poker, but the most successful for me were exactly kiebersport bets. Still remember how i got tips and advices at https://www.bookmakeradvisor.com/uk/bonus/toals/. The risk of losing is not as high as in other types of gambling. Even now, sometimes I allow myself to play pleasure while watching a match on eSports, etc.
Super late reply, apologies. On this https://man.sr.ht page, giving .event items 1rem padding reduces crowding and makes the elements. Start doing that to the other elements as well, pre, etc. They should all be the same so the gutters are the same.

Setting .btn padding to .5rem .75rem balances the hight of the type vs. the edge of the button a bit, making the buttons both more 'substantial' and moving the harsh btn edge away from the type, which makes it easier to read.

Add margin-top 2.5rem to your h* elements to space your content out.

They are probably looking for signatures and do this very easily and in an automated way.

It would be more fun to have an application that randomized the pitch, speed, volume and compression of a file, to REALLY make a moderator waste time, CPU and bandwidth.

Maybe we can make this standard given the prevalence of how people want to share.
However, by all reports Chopin's hands were special, and an anatomical key to his success. In At the Piano with Chopin, composer Stephen Heller is cited as extolling how Chopin's slim hands would "suddenly expand and cover a third of the keyboard. It was like the opening of the mouth of a serpent about to swallow a rabbit whole." A student, Adolf Gutmann, also reportedly said Chopin's "whole body was extraordinarily flexible."

Regardless of the size of the keyboard, bigger hands will always cover more keys.

Yeah that makes some sense, but I'm skeptical. Like the sibling comment here, I have glassblowing experience and intuitively since glass changes temperature more slowly it is naturally less prone to hot spots. Also, it is generally thicker than most metal cookware which means more distance between the heating element and the food to disperse the head. Speaking from experience, touching a 250°C oven heating element will generally burn you worse than touching 600°C borosilicate glass, strong spinal reflex from the former notwithstanding.
Because most money is in pandering to the lowest common denominator and scale, most manufacturers are starting to make their own hardware/software integrated combo. Apple did this, Microsoft is now doing it as well. Razer is going there, and all of them are (commercially) better for it. On the other hand, it's bad for 'us' (the more hacker-y users) as we have less options. It's why so many stick with sub-optimal solutions like Apple MacBooks (they are not ideal but the other off-the-shelf options are so much worse) or custom stuff (modified Thinkpads and Dell laptops). While the former isn't ideal, it's at least standard and scalable, while the latter isn't. Not really at least.
Yes, I've seen the graph. They had minutes, not seconds.
>getting worked up over such small things such as fans going off

Fans spinning up is an indicator of something. Usually an indicator that the machine is under heavy load and you need to watch out for the things that come with machines under heavy load: slower performance, overheating, graphical artifacts, potential crashing, etc.

If my fans spun up when I was not aware my computer was under heavy load, I would believe something was wrong with my computer. If I spent any amount of time researching why my computer was under heavy load and my conclusion was that it was not under heavy load and that the fans just spun up for no reason, I think I'd be rightfully irritated.

Imagine a doorbell that rings randomly even if no one is at the door. In the grand scheme of things it's minor. But it shouldn't be happening, and every time it does I have to get up and walk to the window to see if someone is actually there. Every time the doorbell rings and no one is there, I'm going to get more and more irritated.
"Wooden chair" seems like a rather drastic oversimplification.

Yeah, the bulk of the device, and its combustible material, is made of wood. But it's also got two igniters (for redundancy) and a sensor for ensuring that the device has successfully ignited. Some engineering thought went into this. Comparing it to putting a burning piece of furniture under the rocket nozzles makes the whole design sound a lot more jerry-rigged than it really is.
Typical Motivations of Engineers
Exactly. Even if you didn't have a shell installed, these file names would be a problem. If a file name begins with the dash, and you naively pass that file name as argument one, you are still in trouble, even if you do not have a shell installed on your system. What will happen is the receiving program will see a dash as the first character of its first argument, and in most cases assume it is an option, not a filename. That is because leading dashes are allowable as file names. It is possible to workaround this, for example by pre pending "./". But our goal should be to make things easy, not just make it possible to do things correctly.
Commodification. The easier you are to replace, the lower your market value and the weaker your negotiating position. Software developers can earn six-figure salaries and work in offices that look like holiday resorts because demand for their skills massively outweighs supply. Grad students get treated like dirt because the supply of grad students vastly exceeds demand.

Most people who choose to be grad students have better options, which we should encourage them to take.

I’m happy that my city is at least dispositionally in favor of treating homeless people with dignity. On that level I’m proud of Seattle.

On the other hand, I feel a little like we (the people of Seattle) are a little short on action to address the magnitude of the homeless and opium issues. It’s starting to feel a little like the “hopes and prayers” that the right uses to respond to gun violence.

On the other hand, as one of of the aforementioned hand-wringing do-nothings (or do-too-littles) of Seattle, I struggle with what I can do or where I can best help. City leadership hasn’t done a great job at mobilizing the well-intentioned masses, and I don’t know if that’s because they aren’t doing a good job, or if we’re just belligerently apathetic.

I am far from an expert, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. But my understanding is that what makes light visible in the polarimeter test is stress due to tempering. E.g. my soda-lime (Pyrex) bakeware shows up very clearly in this test, but my soda-lime drinking glasses do not cause any light to appear in the test (except at their bottom).

I unfortunately don't own borosilicate bakeware, so my above description of the effect comes from my linked source. The only borosilicate samples I do have are a microwave dish and a candy thermometer. The microwave dish (which has a rough texture) does show some light, but in a hazy pattern, and much less than soda-lime bakeware. The candy thermometer (which is test-tube sized) shows no light in the test.

So if you're looking at bakeware, it's probable that it's either borosilicate or some other type (such as aluminosilicate used in Pyrex Flameware… again just guessing here). If you're looking at drinking glasses, then they're probably just untempered soda glass or crystalware (lead glass).
Most often these tools are so lackluster that it's not even worth using them. These code generators can never achieve the quality that a good programmer can give.

I'm always amazed by comment threads at TI. So much vitriol! At least they are hidden by default. We are told that lively comment sections increase engagement, but I wonder if that's really the case for TI. ISTM they should have just set up something on Reddit and not had any comments on the main site. E.g. "reddit/r/theintercept/russiarussiarussia" would be irredeemable, but only those who are interested would be exposed to it.
Apparently hosting this video is part of a violation of the law in New Zealand, population of 4 million.

For Facebook why not just block New Zealand? Looking for thoughtful responses

edit: seems there are reports of New Zealand ISPs blocking very many sites and web services. So for Facebook this is also a compelling option to just block the country and continue business as usual, focusing on important things like those user metrics. Censoring videos is an antiquated law forcing silly compliance burdens.

I think you have a point here, not for the vector version (though the resulting vector may not be sorted), but for the insert-then-erase and extract-then-insert versions (though the author does not have complete solutions for the original problem using these approaches).

The erase() method invalidates iterators to the erased element, but returns an iterator to the next one. If you resume iterating with that, there is the possibility of finding the updated Employee again. Extract() also invalidates iterators, but does not return one. If, as in the example, you use the iterator returned by insert() to resume iteration, you may skip over some eligible employees. If you use iterator++ in the extract() call (if that's not undefined behavior), you will presumably be in the same situation as using the iterator returned by erase().

There are pianos with slimmer keys that may be more suitable for those with small hands (e.g. women). It’s just hard to change a legacy design and push it to the masses. Of course if you’re at the top of the game you can get custom keyboards easily but it’s hard (and expensive) to justify for customisation if you’re just learning the keyboard
Papers and Algorithms in LLVM's Source Code
I remember once having a dream where I was fighting off bad guys like a ninja, with Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life" playing as soundtrack (which had been in the Daredevil movie). When I woke up, I realized I'd fallen asleep with the song playing on a loop.

Coincidentally, the words "wake me up" and "I can't wake up" are said a total of 18 times in the song; I wonder what effect that had on me.

And, apparently, sitting very low on the tarmac.

What I haven't seen yet, and would love to see, is an explanation of why they went for this cascade of apparent band-aid solutions, instead of just adjusting the landing gear to give them more options for where to put the engines.

I'm sure everything I'm reading is an oversimplification, but, from what I have read, it sure sounds like the crux of the problem here is that they put the moment of thrust in the wrong spot.
You don’t have to know everything that’s going on. It won’t change your life and you often won’t have the means to affect the situation.

For example, I don’t know what’s going on in New Zealand. I’ve heard vague things about the shooting from people talking about it but I’m not even going to bother looking it up.

People die every day for depressing reasons. This is just another event that is only differentiated by the fact that it captured the attention of a Western audience.

Instead, I’m focusing on other things that I’ve already decided need my time. Don’t let the news set your agenda. You can be informed on a slower cadence despite what people and the 24/7 news factory would want you to believe.
