No, they were always like this, because they could be. Take off the rose-tinted glasses; everything wasn't quaint and wonderful in "the old days". Those were the days when those wonderful mom-n-pop shops would refuse service to black people, for instance.
Godot was great when I tried it, it’s much simpler and nicer to use than Unity for 2d games.

The cons were there are some minor Mac IDE bugs (seems like maintainers mainly use Linux), but the biggest issue is the godot plugin ecosystem is much smaller than the unity plugin ecosystem and writing native bindings e.g. for an ad sdk is non-trival and you’d have to do it for each platform and each external sdk you integrate with.
You're reducing the evolutionary diversity of the species, making us more susceptible to catastrophic single point failure in the future.

Quite selfish.
It's reasonable to give priority to pedestrians once they are on the road because it makes sense to allow them to leave the road as quickly as possible instead of being stuck there because cars don't let them, which is both very dangerous and bad for traffic.

It's equally reasonable for pedestrians NOT to have priority to start crossing the road unless there is a clear, marked pedestrian crossing.
I'm surprised by how much I like this idea. (I have not tried it yet.)

Right now, I use vim for almost all of my text editing. I pop into JetBrains IDEs when their analysis tools or debugger integration are helpful to me. And I use VSCode for most markdown editing. This, if it's good, could replace VSCode for me with a tool that's much better for the purpose I need. So there's basically no new trade-off for me... I've already caved on the electron front for markdown editing anyway. This could just make the payoff for that trade much higher.
If efficiency and compactness are your problem, JSON is not the best idea anyway, look at protobufs and the ilk.

JSON works where you need simplicity on the verge of being dumb, and human-readability.
For sure, but I more wonder if there is a false advertising claim if they are specifically sending these brochures to students who’s scores are too low for them to be admitted.

> I tried WSL but didn't like it to due problems with paths but at this rate with which they're moving

Docker Desktop for Windows seems to still be a bit iffy and WSL is sometimes painfully slow (especially when compiling native code) but overall I'm quite happy with it now thanks to the Remote VSCode extensions.

I'm really looking forward to WSL2 though.
That is already the case though, isnt it? You can say things in reddit that would get you in trouble in a UK-based forum. I believe the distinction between publisher and platform is US thing.

FB And HN are subject to US law where they 're based.It's up to the UK to block access to them if they think they 're illegal - Or preferably to fix libel laws.
> Many users would likely be unhappy with having the buttons pressable on the outside due do being prone to an accidental disable-able

The Purism Librem 5 addressed this while still having the kill switches easily accessible externally, with recessed switch bosses appropriate for regular external use.

On the Pinephone it looks more like an afterthought to try get some feature parity with the L5.

I'm excited to see more Linux phones on the market with non-android user space. But it's about 15 years too late for me to jump to buy anything running Linux without actually wanting to daily drive the end result, like back in the Zaurus days (I had three different models). I basically don't use a smartphone because of the current situation, not since my Nokia N9 broke, and that Linux phone was incredibly disappointing on the hackability and security/privacy fronts, though I did enjoy using it.
The market would benefit massively from another entrant to the space, eliminating this Boeing + Airbus duopoly.

If there's any entity that's proven they can tackle capital intensive aerospace markets as a new player, it's SpaceX. I know they're waiting for battery energy density to improve so that they can launch supersonic electric jets, but regular jets that use jet fuel wouldn't be a horrible stopgap.
You seem to be using intersectional as a general pejorative.
"You can think this, but it's not borne out by legal precedent. Odious speech is protected in public spaces, so if the KKK wants to impose their speech on my by disrupting my morning commute they have that right as long as they get a permit."

I think (note that phrase) that in the 21st century, this is an exceptional historical case for the rare communication medium that attaches communication directly to physical location. Almost everything else we do nowadays has personal control involved, and we should consider that the more common case.

It also is not as unregulated as you may rhetorically claim. They are allowed to say odious things, but, at a reasonable volume level (or they'll be shut down for being a public nuisance regardless of the contents of their speech), and they are not allowed to jump in your face and stay there (in which case it's assault, again, regardless of the content of your speech). Moreover, I'd observe that you're mostly hypothesizing, as indicated by your own phrasing, and I'm a lot more pragmatic on this matter, so I don't feel the need to solve problems that don't (currently) exist. I don't think anyone's been more than mildly annoyed by public speech in a long time. (Being annoyed by the content that someone disagrees with you is part of being human. Trying to "solve" that produces worse problems than the original problem.)
"Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor but because we cannot satisfy the rich" Anonymousa
A stitch in Time.

It is a book about how we got to wear the clothing we are wearing, essentially a book about the history of fashion over the last 2000 years.

For a guy who owns 20ish pairs of black t-shirts you might not think I cared about fashion, but it is really the history of the ordinary person, politics and technological change.
>learns about DNS testing in school

One of the downfalls of being a technical individual in this case. Your autocorrect or muscle memory got the best of you!
What kind of tech do you expect them to use? While I hope it wasn't, I'd not be surprised with them just running a classifier over the current scan, have it spit out "vehicle" at coordinate A, search the previous scan's analysis for a matching vehicle close by. How do you handle uncertain/flip classifications? Or objects appearing to suddenly "spawn"/"despawn"? A proper "what object was that in the past" would likely require its own AI. Reliable linear interpolation doesn't seem that simple to me.
We had permissionless distributed databases (that's all blockchain is) in the 70s. They failed because they are hugely inefficient and extremely resource intensive with each added node.

What's old is new again. I'm old enough to have used one of these in the early 80s, learned about from a BBS I was frequenting.

> For instance, if you’re a journalist and you want to promote your work, there is simply no viable alternative to Twitter at the moment. No other microblogging platform comes even close to having the number of users Twitter does, and most of the alternatives are hotbeds of extremism, so that anyone who joins them is thereby disqualified in polite company.

IMO if you can't even try to use an alternative microblogging platform for fear of being labeled an extremist by "polite company", that's indicative of a much more serious societal issue.

The quote included in this article from John Stuart Mill's On Liberty explains the danger rather eloquently I think:

> Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.

That's not normal behavior, per my experience.

Are you sure Dell didn't ship it with something that, f.ex. is constantly making privileged calls and thereby causing AV to be invoked?

> So the the discussion can only be what the correct number is, isn't it? And it could well be that the number is lower than the current population.

Ok, I agree that this is still up for discussion.

Uhh, you just said that is up for debate.
You are reading that correctly, but as someone who worked on the system over a decade ago, I bet he didn't have it setup exactly like the plane. I bet he tried to fire all the cylinders at once, a 25% failure rate in this configuration actually isn't bad. But on the actual aircraft they don't fire all of the cylinders at once, they are staged front to back because the power draw is too big to fire all the pyrotechnic devices at once.
Good news nowadays noone would seriously demand banning an opponent's speech! Oh wait...
I don't think Dalio minded it much when Fed bailed out banks and financial elites in 2008.
No, I'm saying the compensation is not what people think it is. No golf, yachts, or anything of that kind. They just live an average life. However, ER shifts are ARE slave work.

If you want GPs to do good work, you have to offer them some incentives. Incentives have been insufficient since a long time in France, and in Europe generally. Which is why we are short on GPs.
You wouldn't say that an individual choosing to not work at a specific company was > "impractical" or "toxic", nor would you say that a small business avoiding a certain type of client was either. The real measure is when it becomes coercive.

Voluntary association is a legal right but not associating based on political affiliation I am pretty sure is illegal and if not it should be. It is coercion when employees protest a company's business partners,they are using their high demand skills that got them employed to advance personal political ends. They are using their collective power to coerce business decisions in order to harm their political opposition.

I agree that the USDA created an official designation. As you said, "organics" still use pesticides, but the recommendations for limitations and selection are not all based on science.

If they were, then I would expect that GMO/GEO foods wouldn't be barred as they have the potential to not only help address malnutrition, but also reduce water usage and tillage.

Sorry, I was speaking only of US standards as those are the only ones with which I'm even remotely familiar.

https://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/organic-standards

Overall point: there is a strong naturalistic bias with the term organic. Natural = good, GMO = bad. This is unproven and in some cases counter to reality. This is why I refer to it as a marketing term.
But our university 500 activity clubs while the others have only 300. Doesn’t that count for something?
>The author supposes that there are some mustache-twirling masterminds behind the scenes at Google, Twitter, and Facebook, picking and choosing what content is promoted. But the algorithms, at there most basic sense, promote what is popular.

Hardly. The algos have programmers thumbs on them heavily. A hilarious example was when Reddit was trying to deal with the_donald successfully spamming reddits hot algorithm. But someone screwed up the new weighting and instead of pushing td posts down it pushed them up, the whole front page was nothing but td posts for a day. They eventually fixed it, but never think that there isn't a human jury rigged mess of if else statements at the core of the algorithms.
The regulations for Passivhäuser (or houses with the respective efficiency rating) in fact require a ventilation system with heat recovery (since the otherwise necessary open-the-windows-like-a-savage-system wastes too much energy).

These nowadays come typically with moisture recovery (which arguably not always works well enough, depends on how much you still need to heat).
Some pesticides that are banned by the organics label are actually pretty terrible for humans and the environment.
> And somehow Windows still doesn't ship with a decent text editor out of the box...

What would that look like? I mean a decent text editor is contextual. Are we talking about Wordpad upgrades for office usage, a lightweight code editor, or something else?

Plus don't people constantly criticize Microsoft for bloat/adding stuff to the base OS? Now they want Microsoft to ship Windows 10 with e.g. VSCode out of the box?

Exactly. It has a little bit of an IA Writer feel except that you no longer need a preview window thanks to this feature.
It's standard practice to do that when you have the ability to, because the alternative is 1929. The problem is that all the levers have been pulled now...

Wind/solar aren't that cheap if you include enough storage to get through a windless night, and enough overcapacity to get through cloudy winter weeks.

>You say yourself that socialism won’t fix the plight of their towns dying out, so they’re not wrong to be against socialism in this case.

How are they not wrong, and not hypocritical? If we leave them to pure capitalism, they would all just die out. So why should they get any help at all, when that's socialism and directly contrary to their stated values?

>Furthermore, moving to a major city is expensive

It's not expensive to live in your car. Countless immigrants come to this country with basically nothing, and manage to grow roots and even start thriving, successful businesses. But you're telling me some small-town American can't do that, because it's "too expensive to move"?

>Having family or a struggling farm or business

If the business is struggling, it's time to sell it and move on. And what does family have to do with anything? As I said above, countless immigrants come here across oceans and manage to thrive, and they don't whine about their extended families they left behind.

>Even immigrants have a support network of other co-immigrants, usually.

Maybe, maybe not. Someone had to be the first.

>Encouraging businesses to open up in these towns could be good policy

Why would they do this? There's no skilled workforce left there, there's not enough of an economic base; it really makes no economic sense. There's a reason people have been building and living in cities for several millennia now. Small towns only make sense when there's some industry there supporting it, usually having to do with resource extraction (e.g. mining) or agriculture. Once those dry up, the town's reason for existence is gone.

>Other towns should close, but there would need to be some help buying people out of their homes where most equity resides.]

Why should these anti-socialist people get a socialist benefit program like this?
IANAL but as I understand it, the UK case at the moment is it might get me into trouble if they can pin me down, but not the discussion forum itself. There might be a legal request to reveal my identity, but purely to pin me down. As a publisher, the forum itself would be jointly and severally liable.

Airbus has similar long-standing issues. On ground / airborne detection logic was broken in 1993 and is still broken in 2019, to a point that it can cause loss of flight controls.

So you're claiming that Airbus knowingly leaves a critical defect in their planes, which may cause the loss of flight controls and which they refreain from fixing for almost 30 years?

Either come up with a reliable source for this statement (which is extremely hard to believe) or allow me to call bullshit!
Thanks for the correction. I believe the sample was compared to one they obtained when he was in custody in Camp Bucca.
What we have right now is due to a largely unregulated free market.
There's a countermovement, the "Pretty Good House" idea ( https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/pretty-good-hou... .) It has the goals like "simplicity" and "avoiding diminshing returns" (the 80-20 rule: 20% of the work gets you 80% of the improvements, in this case.) It avoids certification and excessive rigor. (One article about it mentioned the split between Passivhaus and Passive House. As I recall it was over the amount of shading from one southern tree.)

My point, if any, is that it's not "Passivhaus or nothing."
There already is something kind of like that: It's called the Common Application. You fill out a single application and choose which schools you want to receive it. A little under 1,000 schools use it, so if one of the school you're interested in accepts it then you can easily click a few boxes to send it to a bunch more with no extra work.

As for paying the application fee, it's not too hard to get a waiver. All you have to do is get your guidance counselor to sign off on a waiver form. (That is actually not just for the Common App either: nearly every school will accept that sort of affirmation of need and waive the fee)

The primary reason fees exist is to make them high enough that students who aren't all that interested in attending don't bother to apply. Believe it or not, for most schools the application fee really doesn't impact their budget much. Take a mid-size
school with 20,000 students and a freshman class of 3,000. They might get 12,000 applications that progress far enough that the student submits a fee. Take away 3,000 for fee waivers, and average a $60 fee, and it adds up to $540,000. Seems like a fair bit of money, Given a staff 20, marketing budget, etc., it's a very minor consideration.

Sure, it's not nothing, but having lots of not-very-interested applicants makes it extremely hard to make a target enrollment goal because you end up accepting so many students that won't attend. So you either come under your goal because you accepted uninterested students, or you accept too many to make up for it, making it look like your less competitive at the same time you risk enrolling more students that the school can handle on such short notice (I've seen that happen, it's not good for the school or the students).

In talking to the parents of some students applying this year to colleges, the common application is truly one common app, including the same essay.

The consequences of this is now it is truly much easier to apply to a bunch of schools for undergrad.

Note, this is not the same for grad schools. I have been applying to graduate schools, and they seem to have their own systems (but there seems to be a common platform called "Applyweb").

I’m curious, how much did you have to pay for your licenses? If you are a single founder with a new startup, it seems like you’d need a bunch of money to be able to use Microsoft in production, unless you can use something like BizSpark (if that’s still a thing?).
> It’s perfectly reasonable to want to set up some kind of publishing company that has user-generated content

Note that under this setup, a forum like HN would be basically impossible to maintain. How would you set up a publishing content that included user content without having a human pre-vet all of that content? And HN has, like, 3 moderators?

The practical end result of this would be that the Internet would split into a bunch of 8chans, and a bunch of TV stations, with nothing in-between. If you care about free expression, making businesses scared of user content is counterproductive.
Text editors don’t need all the widgets and controls. They basically need a context menu (and Electron’s menus are horrible as they provide none of the native OS accelerators and integrations), a open/save dialog (pretty please don’t use a custom UI here!), and maybe a menu/toolbar. The editor itself is custom code (whether html/css/js or native), and that’s where the performance benefits of native code shine best anyway.
