> US halts recent practice of disclosing nuclear weapon total

I think America's biggest error in WWII was the disclosure of nuclear weapons existence. If America was able to keep that secret, it would have had the one and only card in its sleeve that could've stalled USSR's tank armies in Europe.

Remember guys, the nucler detente in Europe was not something given until eighties, and would've somebody more ambitious came to USSR's political arena instead of Brezhnev, even that would be under question.

WWIII in Europe was barely avoided twice with Stalin's unexpected death, and Khrushev's "retirement." That gave NATO 20+ years to prop up defences.
Yeah, Europe has never heard of hazing or bullying.

If you care to check, the U.S. is not an outlier when it comes to general crime rates. Your entire rant is based on ideological phobia and invented premises.
How does this even work?

I know the younger generations have more of an online presence but I wonder what they have in their risk factors.
I was happy with the feel of the 2017, however after a few months a couple keys got stuck to the point of it being unusable. I took it in for repair at the Apple Store, and after repair, touching the ID sensor would cause the machine to freeze. Soon after, more keys started getting stuck and I just put the thing in a drawer and pulled the 2015 back out, which is what I'm typing on to this day. I've been using Apple computers exclusively since the lciii in the early 90s, but my next laptop will not be a Macbook.
No you absolutely should not. If you aren't sure, say so. Best guess is not the way to do this. Fingering their one suspect among a bunch of photos they keep around who looks maybe a bit like the person you saw? Happens all the time, innocent people go to jail. And yeah, especially if they're from a race with homogenous hair colour and that race is one you don't share.

Every time they have the wrong suspect. There are 10 photos. 1 in 10 chance of fingering that wrong suspect and providing false evidence contributing to wrongful prosecution.

I actually don't understand why you would even suggest that this is a good idea.

Is there something here I'm missing?
The fact that they're calling it "digitales vermummungsverbot" already tells you everything you need to know: There is no real rationale here, besides a political stunt of the right-wing government to curry favour with the right-leaning parts of the populus.

The original "vermummungsverbot" is a law to prohibit people from wearing a veil in public. The pretense was that people hiding their identity were by definition a security threat to the law abiding general public. The political effect was that xenophobs liked the idea of a law that was opposed to certain aspects of islam. The reality is that the law has no effect, since there are almost no people in Austria would would want to wear a veil in public in the first place apart from maybe the odd female tourist visiting from Saudi Arabia.

The idea now is that the same should apply to the digital sphere.

My guess would be that they know full well that it's never going to pass into law and make it past Brussels. But to them it's a win-win. Either they get a law that appeases the right-wing populus. Or Brussels stops them, playing into their anti-European narrative, which would also gain them political capital.
You're assuming they're shipping luxury, optional goods, but what if they're essentials like food and medicine?

I mean yes you can make the argument that if it's too expensive you shouldn't be living there, but that's not how it works (case in point: SF, where people rather live in substandard housing or the street and have a shot at a big tech or startup company than move somewhere affordable).

I only enumerated things they put into law out they proposed or supported from the start.

The things the FPOe did was getting rid of the smoking ban, raising the speed limits to 140, renaming the immigration centers to “departure centers”, proposals to cut the funding of the public broadcaster.

Together they converted the country in record time into a dystopian place. Even putting childhood education back into former times by reintroducing marks for primary schoolers and minimum requirements that can cause children under 10 to have to repeat a class.

They are now both also starting to talk about rolling back abortion rights.
You are very lucky. I had three students in my office hours recently and of the four of us, all with butterfly keyboard MacBook Pros (some with the updated keyboards), three of us have had keyboard issues such as the spacebar double registering presses or other keys not registering a press at all.

Within my family, everyone that has a newer MacBook Pro has had keyboard issues.

I bought a used Lenovo X1 off ebay for $300 and that has become my daily driver, despite getting the keyboard repaired on my MBP. It doesn't get close to the same battery life as my MBP, and waking from sleep is a little iffy sometimes, but in terms of reliability and usability it far exceeds my experience with the MBP.
How do these competitions work? Presumably the contestants had the exploits ready to go beforehand? Or are they only told the application they need to hack on the day - that is truly impressive if so! Are there any restrictions on the tools the contestants can use (e.g. static/dynamic analysis tools)?

"Your feature branch is your own perfect garden and you can keep it clean and shiny. But it is separated from the other gardens of your team. The more you work apart, the harder it is to reconcile."

But then, later in the article,

"It is 2019. If you don’t have a continuous integration setup that builds and runs tests automatically … then set it up yesterday. If you break anything you’ll be notified before it becomes a problem for the whole team."

Which, in my experience, greatly helps to mitigate the "it works on my machine" factor that arises from having a new branch for each task.

I appreciate the perspective, but I've found working with feature branches much better than trunk-based development. I'll take my merge conflicts any day. :-)
The sigs are implemented as blocks.

We had them as hashes for a while, but it meant that code in all sigs was loaded as the code was loaded, even if runtime typechecking was disabled. We were forced to load all constants in any signature in a file, an effect which cascades quickly. It had a big impact on the dev-edit-test loop.

For example, if we're testing `method1` on `Foo`, but `method2` has a sig that references `Bar`, we'd have to load `Bar` to run a test against `method1`.

Now sigs are blocks and lazy, and we pay that load penalty the first time the method is called and a typecheck is performed.
Vista wasn't a low point. It had its flaws and was (apparently - I didn't notice but was running top of the line hardware so can't really tell) a resource hog but it was still a pleasure to use compared to Windows 10.

Nearly half of the third-gen Apple butterfly keyboards at Basecamp have failed. There are few other personal reports with similar percentages.

Second problem is that it will cost a lot of money to fix your keyboard out of warranty.

If one read Martin Fowler about feature branching, https://martinfowler.com/bliki/FeatureBranch.html and articles from Jez Humble both agree on that one should use trunk based development and use feature toggles in most cases for development.
I've had this exact idea floating around in my head for a while now. Really excited that you've gone and built it :)

As with any social network, the hard part is getting lots of people to use it. There's no benefit to me if I have a card but none of my friends do. How are you going to tackle this problem?

I'd really like to use this kind of product at the company I work for. We have a fair amount of people churn, with contractors coming and going. It would be great if my address book could auto-update with their details. Do you have any plans for some kind of company tier, where you could add/connect cards to a company on behalf of the user?
Literally fake news, the state of Science and engineering in Russia is dire, the generation that was brought up under excellent Soviet schooling is dying off or retiring (keep in mind male life expectancy in Russia is on par with Africa).

The people who designed, built and maintained their advanced technology are dying off and there is only a trickle to replace them, anyone with an advanced degree and experience tries to get the hell out of that country for a better life.

One of the issues with feature branches is that long-lived feature branches easily go stale, and each day that passes by makes it riskier to merge them into master.

While I agree with the author on the general idea of trunk-based development (and feature switches), can't we get the best of both worlds by allowing short-lived pull requests where code review can happen?

I'd be curious to hear from teams here who push directly to master and how this workflow works for them.

Your comment shows the problem with assuming that the Democratic Party == left. It does not, at least not on the economic front, not since FDR, which is why you get the sort of compromise 'centrist' solution that is Obamacare, which actually takes a lot of cues from what were right-wing proposals, (i.e. Romney).

The left wants single payer/medicare for all, which polls extremely well, not crappy compromises. There should have been at least a public option, but precisely because Obama was no leftist, he took even that out.

Bernie Sanders actually polls well among the working class people you're talking about.

P.S. The notion that there is some significant amount of people who 'choose not to work' is... laughable. Life on benefits its not the comfortable sort of life you seem to imagine it being. In fact many people on benefits DO WORK, and they're struggling despite it. You can blame them for working minimum wage jobs, (like everyone can be an entrepreneur), however the real problem might be that the minimum wage has not kept up with the increases in productivity and inflation.
It is surprising. Even here, in Russia, we don't have such laws working yet. And I wonder, what Austrian authorities are going to do with foreign platforms like Telegram, which are unlikely to comply? Russian government has been trying to block Telegram using DPI for a year and didn't succeed.

What about Twitter? Reddit?

> In addition, web platforms would be required to appoint a liaison in Austria who would be responsible for making information about platform users available if it becomes necessary. If this person does not ensure that the regulation is followed, he or she could be punished with a fine of up to 100,000 euros.

This will just put foreign platforms, who will ignore the law, into an advantageous position compared to local platforms. Users might switch to foreign platforms that don't require identification.
I was just like you until a couple weeks ago. No grime in the keyboard, heavy use, took it with me everywhere, used it every day since 2016. (That being said, it was/is in pristine condition--no scratches, dents, or drops.)

But one day it just happened. Nothing to provoke it--hadn't been eating over it, hadn't been treating it any rougher than usual. E key started bouncing (repeating). Rarely at first, but it got worse over the course of a week. Canned air didn't fix it--had to ship it out.

I can't really say it was a bad experience, though. They handled everything without issue. I walked into the store--no appointment--and they took a look at it immediately. I didn't pay anything despite being out of warranty and without AppleCare. Had it back in my hands a few days later.

Personally, I love the feel of Apple's butterfly keys. I like the short travel distance and the satisfying "click" they make. I've had plenty of similar issues with scissor switch keyboards; it's just that they're easier to repair. Pop off the key, give it a good blow, and it's as good as new, though you might end up inhaling some ancient crumbs in the process. Allegedly, that usually doesn't work with butterfly keys, for whatever reason, and they're hard to remove without breaking.

>If America was able to keep that secret

There is no America, there is the United States government. Americans did not want to join in World War 2, the president did.

When the time came to drop the nuclear bomb, these decisions were made by few people, and the popular theory is that the Democrats(incumbent) would have lost elections if the war went on, Americans died, and people found out about the Nuclear Bomb later.

The best decisions for the world are not made, the best decision for individuals are made.

I wonder what will happen when Putins or Xis back are against the wall politically. What horrors will they do for self preservation?

EDIT: Don't downvote because the Democrats were in power at the time. The Republicans would have done this too.

Your git strategy should depends on your business release cycle and priorities. In this case, it's a trade-off between dev branch stability and development speed.

With trunk-based development, everyone sees everyone else's work in progress and it's easier to integrate different features together. With feature branches, however, dev is more stable and there's more responsibility on merging to branch back to dev.

Are you deploying to public a few times a day like a web service, or are you working towards an early release, like a AAA game? Does your team sit together in one room, collaborating with one another, other do they take completely independent task and do them remotely, working from all across the globe, with the only point of interaction being a pull request once or twice a week?

It's impossible to say what's better or what's worse without these priors.
It's more that feature branches should be rebased instead of merging the main branch into it (like most developers unfortunately do)

[pull]
rebase = true

in your ~/.gitconfig, and just pull the branch your forked from

This way, the git history is linear, clean and readable
" all you've said is that sometimes those dark patterns are worth exploiting"

Not sure you can call yjis conflation. From what I've read that was a deliberate thought out decision and a nominal type system is as valid a choice as a structural one and generally better understood in research and industry.

Having said that as far as I understand, type support in Ruby 3 will not prescribe which type checker is used and what limitations exist. Some of the mentioned projects are structural and I think even Sorbet might add support for it at some point.
Ask HN: Programming Language with “Limited” Types?
Just asking this after reading the Ruby 3 announcement.

Is there any "high-level" programming language that allows only limited use of types? What I mean is, for example, no types by default but still allows me to define some in specific situations, for example a function definition where I need a specific type for an argument. For instance my_function(arg1, int arg2) would check the type of arg2 before entering the function.
Not really a show HN.

Also, rebase master into your feature branches regularly.
Peer to peer connections are increasingly looking like a solution to me, google,apple all have research ongoing on how to have private intranets between mobiles in an area.ipfs could be extended for such usecases too.

couple that with self hosted(or maybe companies do it for you for a fee) mobile base stations to extend the range of that intranet for coverage that is actually free of government snooping/supervision while simulataneously being truly local and a signboard of things happening in your area.

of course they could try and ban that but unless you actually train cops to roam around with wifi packet sniffers i doubt it would be very enforceable.

Not doing any of this myself, but the keyword here is "rebase".

(But yeah, there's a problem with reduced testing during feature development. What if a feature branch breaks the main branch and it does not get noted during feature development? I'd argue if it affects the core then it's not strictly a "feature")

If everyone is working in a feature branch and only bug fixes are done in master, then most of the merges will be simple. However, when a feature is done and merged to master, all the feature branches need to merge the work and that merge will be disproportionately difficult.

Yeah, when I voted for the conservatives here I thought they would roll back abortion rights but they didn't, I thought they would fix the immigration madness but they didn't, and that's why I and many other people are voting far right next election: the conservative party has simply failed to be conservative, they just became centrists to attract more votes, and I sure hope it will backfire.

And that's why these laws are popping up all over Europe: they want to maintain control, they are scared of new parties.
