I'm not sure the keyboard commandos are snowflakes or SJWs. Maybe guys with a bit too much sensitivity and time on their hands, though. But those guys do have a point--they consider themselves loyal fans who actually buy the merch and they're upset because suddenly Hollywood has no use for them. Hollywood is all up its own ass with Mary Sue "strong female lead" characters for marketing and signaling reasons. That people are calling them on their bullshit is generally a good thing.

What Hollywood is really attempting to do is market to China, I think. In their messed up minds it is more important to have asses in seats and yet they don't even understand the demographic they are working for.

However, if I were given a task just for the sake of having a task (i.e. "create X, then feel free to delete it"), that would be hugehly demoralising (as in, "you don't trust me to do even a basic useful thing?

I hope not. A much stronger argument is that government should be by consent of its citizens. Otherwise, you get democracy-is-bad-because-people-vote-wrongly arguments (e.g. women vote too left-wing or white people vote too right-wing).
Snopes is a great model for why this will fail, though. They'll be dismissed as "fake news" by one side or another on anything controversial.

Nuclear is almost the cleanest electricity source, second only to hydro. If you're going to count intermittent sources (aka pv and wind) then take into account that we want reliable current flowing through the outlet, not just when the wind blows or the sun shines. Either you factor in batteries (which also need to be built, typically in acountry that uses a lot of fossil fuel for electricity), or you supplement it with something that has the flexibility you want, and that's gas.

Nuclear waste is stored safely, the myth that "we don't know what to do with waste" needs to die ASAP. Do you know what electricity source has no strategy for storing waste at all? Fossil fuels and intermittent energies.

Show HN: Live Demo of ReactronicJS (Transactionally Reactive State Management)
I was born in Myanmar and grew up there for more than two decades. The impact of economic sanctions are felt not by the ruling class (the military generals), but by the average citizen. Looking back, I firmly believe that sanctions simply deteriorates the human capital and resource (and thus the potential to spur any progressive change) rather than creating any sort of difficulty for the military.

Because of the sanctions, there's always constant emigration and drained my country of a lot of intelligent and hard working people. We are still suffering from that and the current democratically elected government can't easily find competent people to help rebuild the country...

Reactronic is a JavaScript library that provides transactionally reactive state management in a Web application.

Transactional reactivity means that state changes are being made in an isolated data snapshot and then, once atomically committed, are consistently propagated to corresponding visual components for (re)rendering. All that is done in automatic, seamless, and fine-grained way.

The demo is written in Reactronic itself and uses ReactJS as a rendering engine (via React Hooks).

> Most prod clusters are configured for high availability and multiple replicas

I've been doing ES consulting and running clusters since 0.14 and I see very few clusters that run more than a single replica. Most 3 node clusters I see are run with three nodes because you can then have three identical configurations at the cost of throwing more hardware at the problem.

> but do you really want all your traffic to hit this one instance when the other one goes down

Whether that's a problem really really depends on whether your cluster is write-heavy or read heavy. Basically all ELK clusters are write heavy and in that case, loosing one of two nodes would also cut writes in half (due to the write amplification that replica cause). Other clusters just have replica for resilience and can survive the read load with half of the nodes available. Whether that is the case for your cluster(s) depends - that's why I explicitly asked what constraints the OP had.
Traditionally screen readers didn't. I'm not sure if that's still the case.

However, with no JavaScript (and modern css) you can't change the randomly after load to indicate state, which may be difficult for a screen readers to get that back to a blind person.
Why? This strikes me as a very shallow moral principle.

So true -- but here we are talking about it as a legal principle. It's about what the government can't do, not about what people should do.

Domain-specific AI is often already superhuman in performance, once trained. What we lack seems to be: (1) generalisation, as a trained AI is often useless in separate tasks; (2) efficient training, as AI take far more data to reach the same performance as a human (I have seen suggestions this is related to (1)); and (3) any idea at all what counts as self-awareness/conscious/qualia/etc., which may not be important from a performance point of view, but very much influences how people regard the AI and their future potential.
I remember a time when the only thing you could win was the high score. I hate all of the gambling games. The arcades are all dead now. They were mostly killed by nintendos and playstations, but I can't help but feel some of it is due to these gambling games. We have strict regulations about gambling for money, new regulations about 'loot crates', but somehow these trade-tickets-for-prizes games get a pass.

There was a ticket game with a light that would spin around and you won whatever it landed on. One of the lights said 'jackpot' but it was impossible to win - there was a switch inside the machine that enabled the jackpot which was always turned off. A casino would be in big trouble for something like that but arcades get a pass.

Whoever wishes to argue that something is not OK has to provide detailed arguments backed by evidence about harm that is being produced and demonstrate that someone non-consenting is actually suffering from that harm (even if the effects are second-order). And the burden of proof needs to be significant.

Yes, this is what limited government is about. It makes policy makers accountable to the people, not the other way around.

Because the government can not really implement a ban per se, but rather a particular policy that hopefully eliminates the harm, policy makers actually have to make a case for something and not just against something. Otherwise, it's just the government proclaiming that the world would be better off without something. In which case, let us start with war, margarine and bad coffee.

This could be addressed with software. I assume that’s what’s going on in sci-fi adaptations of “smart slates”. They’re clearly a powerful platform, but it’s all for nothing without the right UI.
Or app developers not updating their apps for smaller phones. When the minority of people cause the majority of the work, app devs tend to ship even if it's broken.

The 68000 CPU has a 32-bit address space [1], 32-bit internal data bus, and 32-bit registers, but a 16-bit external data bus and 16-bit ALU, so it's sometimes seen as a bit of a hybrid and sometimes referred to as a 16/32 bit CPU.

[1] but only 24 address lines, which led to "interesting" bugs when people had written code that used the top byte of addresses for other purposes and their code was then run on a 68020 or higher.
There's plenty of other benefits to it. You get to be your own boss, you don't need any qualifications, and being a professional gambler does have a kind of "sex appeal".
> Well written CSS, a subset of usability, is irrelevant to accessibility.

Says who?

https://www.w3.org/WAI/fundamentals/accessibility-usability-...

> There is a significant overlap between accessibility and usability. ISO 9241-11, defines usability as: The “extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals effectively, efficiently and with satisfaction in a specified context of use”. This could address accessibility when: “specified users” includes people with a range of disabilities, and “specified context of use” includes accessibility considerations such as assistive technologies.

Let me give an example: If I put icons on my buttons to improve the usability of my app, but the icons break at high zoom levels, then is that accessible? No, but you'd never know unless you do accessibility testing with CSS and images turned on.
Companies Learn Your Secrets (2012)
This is a story that has repeated over time...

I knew a man who made a living at the slots in Vegas before everything was computerized, with a small team of guys who watched the machines, and knew when to play them.

When I was younger, there was one mechanical game you'd find in arcades, again, before it all was computerized, that I had gotten good at. I'd win the jackpot every time, within $5.00 of play. I recall finding it in the back corner of an Arcade, again in Vegas, in the mid-90s. Nobody ever played it, apparently, because the jackpot was huge. 5 dollars later, and the people who worked there were handing me rolls of tickets. But that is the last time I ever saw it.

Now, with everything computerized, it does feel less interesting to me. You aren't just using skills and competing with physics. You are competing with software that is affecting the outcome. Even on the games that look mechanical, their parts can have adjustments made to their speeds and motion that means you have some loss of control.

At the end of the day, though, these games are supposed to be about entertainment. You spend some money, you have some fun, get a prize or two, the business makes some money and everyone gets to keep doing it.

If you’re happy for the compiler to copy variables out of the closed-over scope when returning the closure, this can still be handled with a single stack. That’s what C++ lambdas do: “Closures” in C++ are locally-allocated structures that hold used variables as local (stack-allocated) member variables. Creating a closure copies closed-over variables (or pointers/references to them). Returning a closure from a function returns a logical copy (which can be optimised away) of the structure.

(Don’t get me wrong, this obviously still implies additional constraints, but it gets fairly close to universal closures.)
