Indeed. Lucretius is often credited for his prescient understanding of "atoms", but that's really a red herring. His view of atoms isn't all that similar to the 19th century atomic theory, and even less to modern atomic theory.

What he really had going for him was empricism. The win was the notion that the universe is governed by a small set of physical laws, and that we can understand those laws. The sun and moon operate by the same principles as our bodies do.

He anticipated what this would mean for free will, and cobbled in a "swerve" to allow for it. But it was still a world dominated by natural forces, not supernatural ones, in which science could be a thing.

I have no way of knowing how much these people paid, if anything, to the dev's Patreon or Liberapay or Donate to PayPal. What they did do was spend their time reporting serious issues for zero payment. Bugs are important to fix, some bugs can be critically important to fix. If the dev chooses to fix these bugs, it is the dev that will receive all credit for doing so. The person who made the effort (albeit minor in comparison) of reporting the issue will not be credited or acknowledged in any way.

Also, I think a vulnerability that allows unprivileged users to gain root on a system on which Calibre is installed is worth fussing over.

You dismiss the question as ridiculous by pointing to the 4th Amendment. But you then seem to hand-wave away all the nuances that are intrinsic to your own argument, and thus make this question not ridiculous at all.

If you believe the 4th Amendment should be the answer to the question, then what about the flip side of the 4th Amendment: that it does allow reasonable searches with a warrant. This was the justification for "key escrow" systems in which master keys could only be unlocked with a court order. Do you support this approach? If not, why not?

Another question: If you believe the 4A's exclusive role, then do you also agree with the Supreme Court's interpretation that in ''national security cases'' electronic surveillance upon the authorization of the President or the Attorney General could be permissible without prior judicial approval? (See Katz v. United States)

If not, why do you believe so strongly in constitutional protections but not the equally-constitutionally defined role of the SCOTUS to interpret it? And if you do agree with SCOTUS interpretation, why should E2EE prevent a lawful intercept if directed by the President for national security matters?

For the record, I support E2EE, but these are serious issues that can't be hand-waved away. The question is anything but ridiculous.

You can have comments in the cron file.

On debian based systems at least they use this to add an explanation and maybe dome examples. Never needed to check man pages since they started doing this.
what the commentor said, may not be true, but you didn't actually make an argument or at least back it up with anything.

as far as I can tell, your comment boils down to 'hiring internal compliance employees/consultants is not a waste.'

but you didn't say anything to back up that the money going to compliance is not a drag. What value does it add to the business? It seems it just prevents catastrophe (legal problems) and has its own costs (termed 'drag') but doesn't add business value as it does not contribute to the USP of product/service to the customer.

Even in your own case, if compliance takes any % of time there is an opportunity cost: you can't work on something that adds to the product/service because that time is spent on compliance.

Does your comment aim to disagree with that?

I think there's a difference between "enthusiast market segment" and "investment commidities". Also even Yamaha grand pianos aren't typically purchased by individuals. More like venues, etc. AFAIK most of those prestigious Steinway models wind up in the lobbies of luxury hotels. Point is those things justify their prices in a way that $1500 keyboards don't.

But honestly I'm being cynical for no reason here. Those guy can spend money on whatever makes them happy. I am in no place to judge.
Before there were cars there were horses. Some places are dense and cramp, the countryside is spread out. Talk of car cities or waling cities is mere confabulation. Some prefer dense cities, some the sprawling countryside of farms and having the nearest store an hour away. Why can’t people be free to live in less crowded, less crime ridden, less dirty and noisy locations if they prefer that?
I don't have any problems with that.

But I don't think "create" is the right word to use here. Maybe set up? Configure?
Steel is a lot heavier and a lot weaker than carbon fiber. For you that's an advantage, but not for those of us who use our keyboards on trains, in cafés, in hostels, and in tents. The comforting weight of an IBM Type M keyboard gets old fast when it's stuffed in your backpack on a bike.

That probably also helps explain how we break keyboards.

After the water rationing I heard happening in South Africa’s capital, I took it upon myself to research commercial water from air extractors. A dehumidifier essentially.

There’s a company out in Arizona that had an article published in wired. Zero Mass Water. The article intrigued me. I lived close enough to the ocean, would it work?

I had a few panels installed on my roof. I can yield somewhere between 3-15 liters per day if the conditions are right. I can store 90 liters total. I use it as drinking water in my home. I no longer drink from municipal tap water as a result. Yes I shower with it, but I’m not really ingesting as much.

Point is I did the panels for the exact same reason this article is the mentioning water wars coming up. At some point we’ll have to be rationing water in cities and I don’t want that for myself or my family.

Then ultimately piracy will once again proliferate.

> Open source started in the mid-70s, and programmer that I am, I call this era 0.0 – the “free software” era. Academics and hobbyists developed software, and the whole ethos was: give software away for free. As ARPANET gave way to the internet, networks made it much easier to collaborate and exchange code.

> I remember going to work at MIT or the Open Software Foundation at the time for work, and I had no idea where my paycheck came from. There was no concept of a business model, and the money behind “free software” development, if there was any, came in the form of university or corporate research grants.

Though I was not in the industry at this time, I don't think "give software away for free" is a sufficient summary of the free software movement. Many free software advocates - then and now - are very quick to point out that "free" doesn't mean free-as-in-beer, it means free-as-in-speech. In other words, freedom as an ethical and political construct, not as a statement of value or price. I think the author glosses over this fact because it doesn't jive with a corporate interpretation of the utility of open source software.

> It's disappointing how so much money is being poured into "mechanical keyboard kits" that simply re-create the old ANSI/ISO layouts that are rooted in old limitations from the days of the typewriter. Alternate layouts & ortholinear/ergonomic designs should be the forefront of the movement. All this focus on outdated designs makes the community "accessible" but also holds people back.

I mean most of the enthusiast keyboards allow you to program the keyboard so you can make the layout whatever you want.

Personally I won't buy any keyboard that isn't just a standard ten keyless because I

1) Don't want to have to remap my vim keys

2) Want other people to be able to use my keyboard

3) Want to be able to use other people's keyboards

When people talk about keeping violence off social networks, they mean keeping personal violent threats off social networks. Whether to make war or peace is a political question, one that's perfectly fair to discuss in public. You don't get to impose pacifist foreign policy on the president by conflating random threats of personal violence with the legitimate business of statecraft.

Most, perhaps all antifungal, and in particular the most common, he azols, clear through the CY P450 pathway in your liver, unfortunately a very important pathway. Fungal diseases are hard to treat in part because doses high enough to be efficacious can lead to liver failure.

Bruce Schneier articulated the backdoor problem best:

‘We can design beautiful locks but we can’t keep the master key safe’.

If we can’t keep other nations from stealing the nuclear bomb plans, how do we expect to keep the master spy key safe?
Why ?

Because Fuck You, that's why.
Coal is being replaced as fast as they can build new capacity with cheaper sources. Coal costs around $100/Mwh. So does current nuclear (fantasy future tech doesn't count). Fracked natural gas costs around $40/Mwh, new onshore wind costs slightly ore ($42 or so), PV solar costs less than $60/Mwh, but its costs have dropped over 80% in a single decade so it's hard to say where it'll be in even a year, much less another decade or two.

Existing coal and nuclear plants are shutting down before end-of-life because they're losing customers to cheaper competition.

Intermittency for wind/solar are well understood problems, with a growing body of performance logs, which makes them very predictable (and "wind ain't blowing" is much less of a problem than you probably think). That makes cost modeling for storage predictable as well, and storage technology costs are improving as fast as production costs. This isn't magic. The math is very straightforward. As long as renewable + storage + gas is significantly cheaper than coal/nuclear - and it already is - we're going to see the industry shift rapidly in that direction.

Is this a perfect, carbon-free solution? No. Is it radically better carbon-wise than the old coal plants? Yes. Is it significantly cheaper than the old coal and nuclear plants? Yes. I'll take two wins and a draw over three losses.

I think the 'vibe' is part of the problem. It's somewhat dishonest.

Why do all companies need to be 'family?' Can't we just respect each other as we get the job done and go home to our actual families? The 'company culture' is a ruse to get employees to have loyalty where the company does not reciprocate.

I know that Haskell's lazyness adds an extra layer of complexity to this problem.

However, disregarding the implementation details, here is the abstract problem: I have a program which is reading some complex data structure from IO, applying a complex, pure pipeline to it, and sending the reply back through IO.

Now, say the output is not correct in some way. Your only chance of debugging the issue is to somehow visualize some of the intermediate values, right?

This being a pure pipeline, you don't need to have logging in production. You could just log the input value, and when a bug occurs, run the same input value from the logs through a modified version of the original pipeline with some logging sprinkled throughout - you're right on this side.

Now, I expect that there are many situations where adding the logging in production is still preferable - maybe the pure pipeline is in development and some kind sof issues are frequently occurring, maybe the pipeline takes too long to re-run, so it's just easier to have the logs from the first run etc.
Show HN: GitCF – A RawGit-Like Service Running on CloudFlare Workers
Of course not, but these are not relatively modern. They're now part of traditional fabric of society for current conservatives. I think it's more apt to look at how conservatives of the time felt about new and paradigm shifting advances.

They led the charges against the scientific revolution when it threatened to subvert authority & mechanisms of control, strongly opposing Copernicus, Bruno, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton. Opposition to Darwin continues to this day in some quarters. And antipathy towards modern advancements in reproductive health is still very strong.

In any case, if conservatives come at modernist styles of expression & ornamentation, they should bring receipts. Or their arguments will smack of the notorious cries of "moral degeneracy" for which conservative thought is justly infamous.

In this case, I feel like the author is found wanting and the article unworthy of HN. There are amazing, actionable critiques of dehumanizing trends in architecture and urban planning (Jane Jacobs, Christopher Alexander), but this is not one of them.

FWIW they have this post from almost 3 years ago about adding Haskell to their stack. I'm guessing the time for your prediction has come and gone.
