I do not miss cold, rainy summers of my youth and failed crops.

The summers in Central Europe are getting pleasantly mediterranean. Everything blossoms and ripes early. People stay at home instead of going to Spain for holidays. Agriculture is booming. Outdoor cafes and restaurants grow around every corner.

Plus since yesterday temperatures suddenly dropped from 34C to 22C with pleasant, fresh breeze. Still sunny.

Right. So put it in an oil tanker, take it someplace with permafrost, pump it out, and let it freeze. A few parts of Hokkaido are cold enough. In a century, it will have decayed enough to be a non-problem.
No they don’t. Certain types of clearances for DoD or the Intelligence Community may require polygraph along with the background investigation process, but the vast majority of cleared US government or contractor personnel do not have to undergo polygraph testing – they only go through routine reinvestigations at the 5- or 10-year marks following favorable adjudication for their initial clearance.

Tl;dr: AMD turned itself from a domestic $5b company with 2,000 employees and no capital into a global leader in semiconductors while simultaneously enduring 30 years of crushing (and illegal) anti-competitive practices by it's primary competitor of 25 times its net worth and 50 times it's workforce strength. Now that AMD has managed to take those 2,000 American workers and push back against 80k American Intel workers + 20k Israeli Intel workers the US has decided it's not fair for "AMD to license it's highly proprietary, highly impressive, highly competitive products to undemocratic nations."

Perhaps we need to address the definition and scope of lawful warrants in this case. Not a lawyer (clearly) but there is a big gap between "requesting data (that may be gibberish bytes when encrypted" ("here's the hard drive, officer!") and being provided that data, vs. requesting data that also requires decryption using something only known to the person being served."

This seems like a pretty clear distinction to me that could be argued in court. But, as I said... not a lawyer.
Building something like this becomes much easier with Xanadu-style bidirectional links. Of course, building those is hard, but eliminating the gatekeeper-censors may finally be the incentive required to get bidi links built.
It's also worth noting that such a system will have to have some metrics for trust by multiple communities (e.g. Joe may think say, mercola.com is a good and reliable source of health info, while Jane thinks he's stuck in the past - People should be able to choose whether they value Joe's or Jane's opinion more, affecting the weights they'll see). In addition (and this is hard, too), those metrics should not be substantially game-able by those seeking to either promote or demote sites for their own ends. This requires a very distributed trust network.
I stand corrected. It either did not have that, or it wasn't something I was able to find at the time I was using it.
Indefinite contempt charges are why forcing someone to hand over a password, encryption key, submit to biometrics, etc. needs to be banned.

The current state of affairs is a clear violation of one of the US’s founding principles: “innocent until proven guilty” (and also the 5th amendment).

Dragonfly is a super exciting mission. Between it and the other New Frontiers finalist, CAESAR, it makes sense that Dragonfly would win because the ESA just announced their own comet exploration mission (the Comet Interceptor, which is 3 spacecraft that will loiter together at L2 until an interesting comet or Oumuamua-like interstellar object wanders into the inner solar system).

Anyway, Dragonfly: RTG-powered quadcopter to fly around Titan's low gravity and dense atmosphere. Over its 2.5-year primary mission, Dragonfly should cover ~180 kilometers of territory.

I have taken all of the fast.ai courses available and they have been life-changing for me. The style of teaching that Jeremy uses really clicks with my learning style (Code then explain) and I have gone from knowing nothing about machine learning to finishing pretty highly on a few different competitions mostly involving NLP and Computer vision. I have been working on Super Resolution more recently and I started working as a Data Scientist at work which has been great. I actually didn't even have a ton of programming experience when I started fastai 3 years ago, but now I am pretty confident when I need to code something. I feel like I have moved through the stages from script-kiddie of data science to a point where I can actually intuitively understand what is happening and trust my instincts to change well-established architectures in ways that it works better for the problem that I am focusing on.
>PHP

Oh no, don't even put them in the same sentence. I am no fan of Go, but its error handling approach is beautiful compared to PHP. Every time I call an internal function I have to go through the docs — does it return a NULL, an int, a boolean, or something else? Does 0 signal an error condition, or is it a valid value? Do I have to perform a strict check for NULL/false then? Or is it -1 (see link below)? The situation is generally better with third-party libraries though — they tend to just throw exceptions (if that matches your definition of "better").

Not on Linux. And last time I checked the macOS version was kinda hobbled compared to the Windows version. I know it has a web interface, but that isn't really a replacement for a native client.
Agreed. I am not a fan of the Go 2 proposals, generally. I’d rather just use Rust if Go is so intent on reimplementing (poorly) everything missing from Go that Rust already has.
A flying drone is a really solid idea for a Titan lander for a couple reasons:

* The surface atmosphere density is higher than Earth's (1.5 atm)

* Gravitational force is much lower (0.15g)

* We don't know a lot about the surface composition or topography, so wheels and motors represent a challenge

* Visibility may be poor, making visual navigation tricky (though that's also a problem for a flying vehicle I suppose)

I've heard people ask about "why a nuclear power source?" Saturn is 10x as far from the sun as Earth, so sunlight is about 1/100th as bright. In addition, Titan's atmosphere blocks most of that. There really isn't any other realistic option.

I hope it works and they take videos.
Fair enough. Critical thinking is a way to think about a problem that does not guarantee similar conclusions, nor does it imply that it can used effectively for all problems.

Pirating Windows is a lot riskier (think downloading random unlock.exe files) while the key gives you a fully working functional official Windows without any hassles.
It's interesting that there is no existing (or planned) launch vehicle that could perform a direct injection for this mission. Getting to Saturn is really, really hard, and without multiple gravity assists from the inner solar system it would be simply impossible.

Too bad it results in an 11 year transit time though! Flying direct would save almost 8 years of that...

Yeah, this is a real problem for research into older things that have no need to change. Google seems to think that information has a half-life. That's really only true in the social space. Truth is eternal.
Police officers conducting a search of a suspect's premises must present a valid search warrant. Police officers requesting that a telecom company aid in surveillance of a suspect must present a valid search warrant. Google, despite of late being the butt of all jokes, will not cooperate with police officers unless a valid warrant is presented. Thus it follows that Cellebrite isn't somehow excluded from following the law just like all those other companies, and cannot support unlocking of iPhones or other devices without being shown a valid search warrant.

Quote from a friend who works at such a job: "I just want to drink beer and get my dick sucked"

The fastest SD cards are 300 megabytes/second, not megabit. All my Sandisk Extreme Pro cards, for example. I also have a bunch of Extreme Pro CF cards that are 160MB/s.

And then there's CFast - speeds in the 400MB/s range.
"Green Party activist Howie Hawkins, for instance, goes to rallies where they want to see NATO demolished but when Russia is carving up the Ukraine like a steak and where trouble is spilling out of Africa and the Middle East into Europe it seems like NATO is more relevant today then ever. I told him that."

The funny thing is that the only reason for Russia to intervene in Ukraine is the NATO expansion to Russian borders and specifically the intention to expand to the Ukraine.

Now you, the righteous one, see Russia's reaction to NATO's actions as justification for the existence of NATO.
NATO is a corrupt jobless firefighter turned arsonist hoping to become relevant again.

Global warming is an average indeed, but moving that average for a localized area costs energy, usually in the form of carbon expenditure.
It is nice that multiple public sector agencies worldwide are doing space travel now, with the private sector close behind.

I've tried a few apps on your list.

Agree that Zim lacks polish, and that the Windows version is a few versions behind the Linux version. However it's really easy to import a bunch of plain text or markdown files (with .txt extension...just dump it in the data folder and restart)

Standard Notes puts a lot of emphasis on security but doesn't yet have native support for inline images.

Tagspaces seemed more like a file organizer that had word processing features tacked on.

OneNote...I wish they'd restore the ability to use notebooks locally, the newer version wants everything on OneDrive.
Jesus that's thin gruel to bring up..no? How about some actual innovation? Has anything truly innovative happened in smartphones for the last decade?
Windows unredirects full-screen games, bypassing the compositing delay. This is also what sensible compositing X11 window managers do on Linux.

Wishing them luck! I really like their app. They do have so many things to sort out in terms of feature request/bugs. Wish their perseverance should pay off eventually.
I'm so with you. Exception handling is an awesome tool. I love the way C# offers you different constructs like try/catch/finally, exception pattern matching or usings, which automatically clean up objects.

While writing services I often need to centrally log an error and retry the process later on. Exception handling really reduces the mental load regarding error handling in this case.

On a semantic level, there are forseeable errors you need to check locally (for example wrong user input) or exceptional errors which can happen at any time (for example file access errors or out of memory scenarios). Exceptions are a perfect match for the second type.

I don't really understand since when or why exceptions are uncool. It hurts my eyes looking at all that error checking code in other languages.
It's posts like yours, which makes HN such a remarkable community.

A lengthy reply by another contributor was a great help to make a Japan trip of mine most memorable.

Thank you!
I agree with looking at projects that other people have done. The other thing I would say is: just do part 1 version 3. That will give you a really good idea of what is currently being done in this area and if it isn't interesting to you at that point, you will at least have enough information to know that for sure. Make sure you don't just watch the videos though. You have to actually implement something after each lesson.
I love this mission. From a science point of view it’s probably good to send similar and well tested rovers to Mars. But to me it gets boring.

I think NASA used to get a lot of fascination from doing the seemingly impossible like flying to the moon. So I think a mission like this will be fascinating for a lot of people. Also it may spawn off a lot of technology. I hope for a submarine mission to Europa.
I can't believe it's been that long since Huygens was sent to Titan. I remember listening to some radio show (NPR?) that was broadcasting the touchdown live.

Also, it's interesting that since they can't study Titan very well visually (you can't point a telescope at it and map the surface like you can with Mars) they're planning on sending a rover that can cover far more distance since they have less idea what will be "interesting" beforehand.
I’m sure you’re right. And I guess I’m saying something obvious when I say they haven’t thought this through. So they’re going to get every bank, every e-commerce website, every server and every client to upgrade their SSL packages? That’s daunting.

Yeah I have a function like this: return a *struct, err where a nil struct could be the result of a empty result from the database query that was just run or an error if the query had an error. And then the logic of that function is if a job was returned quit early (I’m preventing two things from happening on the DB side). But then there’s an annoying dance of checking if the job is nil and the error is nil that’s the happy path... you can see how this makes the just if the check err is nil usual path welcome
I think you're more right than people are giving credit for. They clearly haven't cared much about their hardware with any true innovation for a long time.
I don't think Magento used it right.

I used EAV in an application and it was fine (I used Datascript on the client-side, with server-side data being stored in a JSON document database, RethinkDB). I did run into some annoying issues with the lack of nil value handling. I'd say writing queries was difficult, but not significantly more difficult than in any other language, if you care about performance and want to know what the query actually does.

Overall, I felt there was a good mapping between my domain model and EAV.

I eventually dropped this solution in favor of Clojure data structures: if you have an in-memory (in-browser) database anyway, why keep the data in Datascript, if you can simply keep it as ClojureScript data structures?
There's a certain irony or je ne sais quoi that Apple themselves try very hard (desperately?) to have truth conveyed in a way that is emotion driven and designed to lure people in.
Use cases, 200k miles of international flights/year, light gaming, listening to music/podcasts around the house.

For long haul air travel; Bose qc, no contest. You get on a plane, and all the serious business travelers are using the same headphones for a reason. They aren't the best (but are good enough) at weight, sound quality, comfort, but they are the best at drowning out engine noise. On a 7-12 hour flight that's pretty much the only thing that matters. I prefer the version with a AAA battery and a cord for the instant battery swap recharge vs the version that's wireless Bluetooth but has an internal rechargable battery.

Edit

Important note about the QC and other noise canceling headphones -some people feel a weird "pressure" or stuffy feeling from what I assume is all the work the active noise canceling mics/speakers are doing. It can be uncomfortable. I feel it a little when im using them, but for me it's a non issue if im playing music or sound through them. I do avoid using them without an audio input. Even when I sleep on the plane with them I play soft music.

If you read the comments below, it sounds like some people experience it worse than others. I strongly suggest trying before you buy at a local Bose store.

End Edit

For everything else, jawbra elite 65t. Decent sound quality, I can choose to only wear the right ear if I want better awareness of my surroundings(say walking the dog), good noise reduction b/c of the in ear seal and noise canceling (keeps the music volume low and protects your hearing), and Bluetooth means small and no wires. Battery lasts 4-5+ hours on a charge for me after 6 months of heavy use, wireless is nice, and the form factor is small and discreet (unlike air pods which scream im not paying attention to my surroundings). You can also turn off the NC.

In hindsight I wish I would have bought the active version with better water resistance for a few dollars more, but so far so good -they even lived through a trip in the washer machine.

If you're comparing Xianjiang and what's happening at the border then this is not eve remotely 'equal opportunity' criticism - it's classical Chinese moral relativism.

In Xianjiang people are being rounded up for their religion or ethnicity, thrown into concentration camps, made 'non-persons', tortured, killed, if they die on trumped up charges their organs are harvested. It's Nazi-Germany level stuff.

The US is not 'putting children in prison' - the US (was previously) holding people who are trying to enter the country due literally to the prosperity of the nation. They are well treated and are free to leave any time.

Now that the rule has been discarded, migrants bring their children specifically on the dangerous journey because they know if they bring their kids, they don't have to go into detention.

This year there there has been a massive upswing in illegal migration precisely because migrants now know the golden legal loophole: bring a child - and they won't have to be held, they can immediately enter the country. And of course, the irony of the fact these people are desperately trying to get in to the country should not be lost on anyone making morally relative claims comparing that situation to Xianjiang.
