The Bootstrap stuff you seem bothered by is better for splashy big-headline marketing sites not high-density content like HN.

A lof of web designers cut their teeth designing marketing websites, not app UIs, so it's not surprising when I see it mindlessly used on sites like Reddit's new redesign.
Given glibc isn't part of the OS, and that hence you can statically link to it, it can't be part of the stable interface. glibc isn't a thing as far as the OS is concerned.

It seems to me this also means Linux is more limited in what it can do in breaking syscalls too. On Windows, if you load any shared library (including ntdll) and an exported function isn't there, the loader can produce an error for you telling you that a function you need isn't there. On Linux... you're calling the syscall directly, so there's nothing that can stand between you and the syscalls to perform a check or anything. Overall it seems to me like coding against direct syscall numbers is a disadvantage on almost every front.
If someone texts me an image of child pornography and I go straight to the police and report it, I would be arrested? Questioned, sure but arrested?

If I find drugs in the mail and turn them over to police, am I going to get arrested (assuming this was not a controlled delivery, I just received them randomly)?

Both are crimes where possession alone is cause for arrest.
I'm in the military. Some cadets visited our unit recently and I dropped in to say hi. One of them, a 13yo, asked about using a Juul while on duty. Our tour guide didn't know what a Juul was. Then a dozen kids showed him. Maybe 1/4 of the cadet group were carrying the devices.
Pff. I don't know what lawyers they have but they are shitty as fuck. Of course, this is 100% unenforceable. If I was hit with one of these I would immediately sue in a small claims court. Those walkers are contractors. If they want to do this type of shit and have at least a small chance to earn those fees, start by hiring them as W-2 workers with benefits. This is just hypocritical.
"The Chinese students were deemed inadmissible to the United States based on information discovered during the CBP inspection," the CBP statement said.

Look. The Feds don’t always have bad reasons for doing things. I know we have a lot of problems and the social media and computer searches aren’t something I find myself condoning, but before we jump to any conclusions we should at least wait to see why exactly they were denied entry. It could be BS, or they could be targeting Hong Kong supporters amongst Chinese students currently studying in the US or Canada or elsewhere. It seems odd to me that the Feds would target these specific 9 students so I think it’s worth the time to wait until we hear more.

Reduces the set of people covered by this to those that the company actually paid attention to through the headhunter, reducing the space for conflict.

Otherwise either the company can reach out directly and claim they didn't rely on the headhunter for that, or alternatively the headhunter has reasons to throw as many resumes as possible at the company just to "claim" more people.
Well, morally speaking having sex with a man went against the “morals of the time”. We changed our collective opinion since then.

Now what Ross Ulbricht did is amoral today - but are you so sure we will not change our opinion about this act in a few decades?

If people didn’t continue with their “amoral homosexuality” we could have never accepted it to be he norm. They are the heroes of their times.

In many ways, what Ulbricht had done may become a viable method of policing organisations that are “too big to be policed”.

TheOldReader appears to be a semi-free SaaS; I was referring to something that's an open source product that could be installed on any commodity hosting provider -- git clone {path_to_repo_on_github} -- with the database/state of the app being just a SQLite database which can be backed up or moved at will. That's not at all what TheOldReader appears to be.

I understand where this is coming from, however whenever I interact with a app that re-loads the whole window on every major interaction, I start getting frustrated because of the jarring, slow transitions, most modern web apps are faster after the initial page load, albiet on my 15" 2018 MacBook Pro.

Stop blaming the modern web. There are plenty of slow PHP and rails sites and plenty of slow React based sites. Of course speed is second priority, I'd much rather have users using my app with a mediocre experience than nobody using my app. However, as the web supports more tooling and frameworks continue to evolve towards web assembly, I believe will start to have web apps approaching native speed.

The reality is that requiring a server to render every page limits what you can do with your app. Even if modern tooling is overused, developers will always move towards what allows you to do more.

I'd much rather focus on making modern tooling faster than complaining about the modern web.
I don't know B, and I think you are correct, but it, too, doesn't break the "scalability barrier". It would allow you to generate small programs by a process of refinement, but not very large ones. I think it is aimed mostly at safety-critical realtime embedded systems (and I believe it's used mostly for railways), so it's extremely useful (like other model-checked languages for that domain, like SCADE), but not something that can significantly help mainstream software.
All elements are super tiny unless you force zoom on them. The CSS says that all fonts are 10pt or _smaller_. There are 7pt fonts defined in there! Everything else is specified in exact pixels. Vote arrows are 10x10 pixels. Do you realize how small 10x10 pixels is on a modern display?

The request is the same. The buttons are <a> tags. Without JS, the link is clicked and does a full page reload. With JS, the click is caught and sent as a AJAX request where the response is ignored.

It's all moot anyway. Banks don't issue £50 notes and nobody accepts them.

Which is really very weird because a fifty now is only worth what a twenty was when I started work. And back then twenties were commonplace and fifties weren't especially rare.

It's worth noting that when this was presented to Kennedy, he removed the general in charge of the plan from his job.
So you're saying you agree with the article?

To be sure, government-funded academic research in such national security realms as cybersecurity and bioterrorism is justifiably sensitive. Likewise, academic research conducted in collaboration with U.S. companies — a principal target of most unlawful technology transfers — leads to commercial innovations that warrant protections. Universities have an obligation to comply with existing security protocols, identify sensible ways to bolster them, and cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities and corporate research partners if clear acts of espionage are suspected. To the extent we are falling short in any of these areas — and yes, there have been isolated incidents of academics sharing sensitive intellectual property with foreign governments — we can and must do better.
It’s a temporary blip, until the machines can program themselves...well, even the rich people might be expendable at that point.
In addition, in a “planned economy” like that of Venezuela, it may be quite hard to assess who works for the government and who doesn’t (and I suppose that in many cases the answer would be “it’s complicated” anyway).
> Without Bletchley Park and the massive advances in electromechanical computing that Turing helped to spearhead, the world would probably look very different today.

That's an unnecessary exaggeration. ULTRA was incredibly helpful to the Allies, but there is little reason to believe that without it the world "would probably look very different today". In all likelihood the worst scenario is that the war would've ended a bit later, and with somewhat more favourable conditions for the USSR in terms of their positions in Europe.

The enigma machines were typewriter like devices of nazi manufacture designed to allow users to type clear text and produce cypher text that could be typed into devices that shared a secret to produce the original clear text.

Alan Turing is known for

- Being a primary figure in the effort to break the enigma machine code so that messages could be decoded without stealing the secret keys used. This was tactically valuable.

- Creating one of 2 mathematically equivalent logical models of computation eventually shown to be equivalent.

He is thus of pivotal importance in the development of modern computers, the defeat of the nazis, and codebreaking.

If you haven't heard of any of this it behooves you to read up a bit.
I'm not sure what you mean by "limited geography." The cases cited in the article cover nearly 3,000 miles from Utah to Illinois to New York.

You can make excuses and dismiss what's happening any way you want, but citing geography undermines your argument.
Two excerpts from the article:

Hotten found the text to be unclear. And under the court’s own precedent, “[w]hen a statute can be interpreted in more than one way, the job of this Court is to resolve that ambiguity in light of the legislative intent.” Here, Hotten found ample evidence that Maryland “sought to protect children from exploitation and abuse as opposed to enacting laws that criminalized consensual sexual activity among minors.”

Under this rule, ambiguous criminal statutes must be interpreted in the defendant’s favor.

But there's all too often some bullshit justification as to why it's someone else's job to make sure justice gets served and these particular people in authority were "just doing their job."

The emperor in Mulan and the sultan in Aladdin taking it upon themselves to actually exercise their authority to do the right thing are, sadly, not how real people typically operate.
I'm 90% sure they just gave right up when they figured they'd vaped.

what else do they have in common, that's what I'd like to know, maybe they'd eaten that day, or consumed water.
Power is a great ISA for simple FPGA development because its instruction set is generally fixed width and well organised. So you can fit it to a nice look up table, the case statements are a thing of beauty. Whereas x86 style instructions are variable length and more difficult to work with.

I hope to see a lot more like this with the open sourcing. I'm not sure it's very competitive, but it's a great education tool at the very least.

So that means ntdll.dll and family can never be statically linked? I guess that makes sense if the only responsibility of the dll is to expose syscalls, but does ntdll expose any other functionality? Functionality that may want to be overridden by a different implementation, etc?

In the Linux world, since syscalls are exposed by libc, other non-C runtimes (for example, Go) end up needing to make system calls on their own without the libc wrappers. Is such a system just not a thing in Windows?
> This is how academia works.

This has not been my experience.

Solid reference implementations for papers typically highlight the novel or outstanding logic amidst a backdrop of established best-practices. That doesn't look like the case here.
I think living state, score and x,y position is all you would need to train a player. Is there any advantage to consuming the state of nearby cells if the game is entirely deterministic?
The difference really doesn't have to do with backward compatibility (which Windows does to arguably an even greater extent than Linux) but with where the stable interface boundary is. Windows puts the boundary in ntdll, Linux puts it at syscalls.

Like all policies it must be viewed with a broad perspective as they rarely have an impact limited to the narrow scope of the law itself. Most people don't even try to engage that type of regulatory system so you never hear about the real consequences of most policies like that. Companies that give up before even trying are rarely going to be making much noise about the laws to get people to notice.

This is similar to the effects of "chilling speech" that speech restrictions or other indirect policies often generate, which often happens on a far larger scale than those who were actually stopped directly by the law itself. People who never even tried to engage with the new rules just choose not to say anything at all (ie avoiding the subjects or groups of people entirely instead of adapting or continuing to speak within the new framework).
So I've been debugging this and I'm not really sure what's up with that.

This is not an impressive response to

> Look. The Feds don’t always have bad reasons for doing things.

This is true, but they've done nothing to deserve the benefit of the doubt, especially when they continue to conceal information. Right now, unfortunately, assuming malice until proven otherwise is the rational thing to do with CBP.
They might be tracking your browsing habits. For instance if you hover over the like button and rest the cursor there for a moment but you subsequently don't like the post, it could mean that you thought of liking that post but you did not do it for whatever reason.
Or they are just prefetching pages.

And honestly, in many other regions: just accept that it sometimes gets hot. In Germany, where virtually no private home has AC, it can get really hot inside from June to September especially when houses are not that well isolated. But people just go on with it. In places like Texas or California, this is another story. But as you stated: probably it is hot enough for some kind of "persian style" cooling.
"On the other hand, if you beat the competition (your peers) to get a reputable corporate gig at a big co, well known startup, or prestigious consulting or banking you’re setting yourself up for life."

Student debt is running at around 8% of US GDP.

When did you last visit the Fry's in Renton? I was there yesterday and it's pretty grim. Here's a description from one of the employees: https://frysforum.com/discussion/5261/my-store-is-going-down...
> Luckily my indoor air quality was pretty good, except for low humidity.

What's the problem supposed to be with low humidity? All of the humidity-related problems I know of, including discomfort, come from high humidity.
It's been a long time since I was in a Fry's, but at least at the Austin location, whenever I talked with a salesperson and decided to buy something (hard drivers, processors) they'd print up something for me to take to the cashier along with the product. I always assumed this was for commission purposes.

> What kind of free market operating without force do you have when millions of human beings are under the lash?

Ironically, a far freer market than we have today, as long as you were white.

I don't think the economy of the North depended much or at all on the South. The South was in the business of exporting cotton to Europe. Also, the South was basically an economic backwater that was falling increasingly far behind. In terms of population, the North had 18.5 million and the South had 5.5 million free people and 3.5 million slaves.

> in no way makes the violent theft of their land some operation of free markets without coercion

I didn't understand before that your point about Native Americans was supposed to be a counterexample to free markets. I don't see it that way. A free market is about what happens within the borders of a country. Conquering more land is about expanding the borders of a country.

> As for women, look up "coverture"

I think you are making too much of this. According to your source, non-married women seem to have had the same rights as men. Families acted as a unit with the husband nominally in charge. I think that was reasonable for the level of development at the time and not as different from today as people think. Joint control of a family between husband and wife, as we have now, is only practicable when there is the release valve of divorce. Divorce would not have been very realistic in the 18th century because once a man has children with a woman you couldn't just take back your responsibility to her. There are a lot of factors that play into this like the lack of birth control, the need to produce many children to work on the farm, the need for there to be someone to raise children, etc. Modern technology is what has enabled women to be raised to the equal of men in practice, not just a change in the culture's view of women. Anyway, I don't think this issue is very relevant to the question of whether or not there was a free market.
