You have to be conscious that you are playing the game of power and politics. You subtly invade other people's responsibilities, and question their capabilities.

Maybe you're good enough to make it clear that your only trying to help, but maybe there is a 3rd person that competes not with you but with the person you're trying to help, that will take advantage and make it look like they're clueless.

Maybe the person you're trying to help will respond positively when you're around, maybe they'll talk behind your back with the right people to shut you down.
There are many ways for juries to just get things wrong, to misunderstand their role, to misunderstand the law, and so on. Sometimes these errors get recognised and corrected, at a cost; sometimes they just plain don't. Some jurors simply don't know how to pay attention and keep track for extended periods of time. Some education and training in advance could create massively more competent juries.

Why not limit witness testimony to professionals too?

Because we don't have a time machine to place professional witnesses where they need to be in order to witness things to testify about.
It's not about overpopulation as much as high population. The more people to be managed, the higher the abstraction level. And the higher abstraction level, the more against-common-sense things happen that can't be sorted out.
I think your parent is exaggerating, but they do have a point. I can't point you to a concrete example off the top of my head, but there is quite a bit of anti-GPL sentiment in (parts of) the LLVM community. Apple I think is somewhat invested in spreading FUD about the GPL. I once spoke to some LLVM developers from Apple who said that they didn't believe they were allowed to look at the assembly code emitted by GCC, for copyright reasons. Which is strange since GCC explicitly does not claim copyright on its output.

Perhaps? But that has not much to do with overpopulation as commonly understood.

I'm all in favour of subsidarity, too. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity)
Also the preinstalled terminal has case-insensitive tab completion which is nice as well.

I've had some technical problems with past eOS versions but it's one of few distros where you get the feeling the developers are actually trying to make it more usable and polished. It starts with a consistent, nice-looking UI and doesn't stop with details like great default wallpapers.
Assume good faith please.
This is fantastic. I am working on a peer to peer file system sharing tool in the browser. Soon I will add a text messaging component and I want it to support markdown cleanly just like this.

Excellent work

When you're in VR the space that matters to you is mostly the virtual space. If you move a controler and some representation of that controller matches it's position exactly then you feel that is where your hand is. The fact that your hands are invisible is quickly forgotten. (Fake avatar hands can often actually reduce immersion - uncanny valley time...)

It's similar to tool use. Tools become an extension of your body and you tend to perceive them as such. Musicians, sportsmen etc are familiar with this feeling.
Tripling their money is considered a failure as a VC. Only investments that can return 100 to 1000 x are considered for earlier stage startups
I love product engineering. It's generalist++, and what I believe _most_ software projects need. However it is seen as a forbidden art in many workplaces with strongly-defined structure.

I thought working at a tech "startup" was a perfect place for a "product engineer". Trouble was, this startup was born out of a big ol' corporate. Despite the mantra "we are a startup and have cast away the shackles of our corporate mothership", acting as a "product engineer" was firmly rejected due to the company's corporate roots. I'll never forget the conversation with my (corporate-sourced) boss: "thinking about those kind of things is the job of a product owner - maybe you should consider switching roles". My heart sank. I didn't care about my job title.

So it turned out that I was treading on corporate-rooted toes by encroaching on other people's areas. We weren't all tending to the same garden - people had carved out their sections. It was how they added value and they weren't prepared for someone else getting involved in their areas. It sucked. And it's all too common, especially as organisations grow. Since then, I've made the way teams work a bit of a special interest of mine.

Culture, or the way things are done, is the primary factor that leads to declining performance of teams over time.

I'm also on the lookout for high quality jobs where I can stretch my legs. I'm a fullstack dev who gets involved in _everything_. I'll lead your team whilst you're not watching. I'm often hired to do stuff for which I have no experience. Do get in touch if you need someone like me.
I think your parent is exaggerating, but they do have a point. I can't point you to a concrete example off the top of my head, but there is quite a bit of anti-GPL sentiment in (parts of) the LLVM community.

That's why the LLVM people won't switch over to GCC, sure. But what do the GCC people think of it? If they're content to keep working on GCC, what's going to change such that they want to stop? I could imagine that if the LLVM group gets orders of magnitude ahead (seems unlikely - thus far, they seem to be mostly keeping up with each other in terms of performance and so on - but it could happen), GCC might start to be seen as a niche piece of legacy software and start to head towards retirement. Any other obvious pathways for the end of GCC?

> has a not broken implementation of restrict (which should be useful for Rust)

The most recent restrict bug the rustc developers found (which made they disable restrict again) was found in both LLVM and GCC (they made a C reproducer, so they could test in both). See: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54878 (rustc) https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39282 (LLVM) https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87609 (GCC).

The US military is actually focused on deterring aggression. We spend more time doing humanitarian work than anything else.
The one thing Chrome has which makes it 1000x better for me is the ability to search a site in the url bar itself by entering the url and pressing tab (?). For example I've used it on alternativeto.net a lot. I personally do use Firefox more anyway but it makes Chrome so easy when I do use it.
I strongly recommend iwd over wpa_supplicant. It is simple, intuitive, and just works. I have been using it on my laptop for over a year with no issues.
Sure, but we already know false/confused testimony is a massive problem, so is it necessarily the case that limiting it to professionals would be worse? Professionals analyzing the evidence, video tapes, etc. We're already moving towards universal surveillance. Many states ban one-party phone/in-person chat recordings, but if we allowed one-party recordings anywhere, any dispute over conversations could be resolved with personal recordings.

Just a thought exercise.
Having worked with both, I don't know what you mean by "confusing architecture". Both are OK to work with, but both have some glaring holes in their documentation. LLVM's data structures are typically nicer to use than GCC's linked lists in a lot of places, that much is true.
I recently listened to a podcast in which James Beshar interviews an anonymous San Francisco police officer who has been in the service for a long time. The police officer said that there are a lot of loopholes(not talking about paroles, probation or anything related) in California justice system in particular that allows felons to come out much faster than the actual time sentenced. For example felons that are sentenced for 30+ years in prison for committing serious crimes can come out in as fast as in 15 years by staying in certain prisons/jails that counts the time served as 2x or 3x. So lawyers game this so that the felons stay in these prisons/jails longer than other prisons and come out faster. I personally has not thought much about any of these issues and neither have a stand or expertise on what is right or wrong. I found what the police officer said (so did the host) very interesting and thought its worth sharing here.

Perhaps the lawyer thought the blatent racism would shock the other jurors and make them more likely to "overcorrect"/compensate and be lienent or find the defendant not guilty (IDK facts of the case).
HBM is not lower latency than traditional DDR. It is significantly higher bandwidth, but the latency can be higher. On GPUs this is not a problem, because they are quite latency tolerant. CPUs might have more trouble hiding the latency impact.
While still on windows I was using this, for browser, software installs,... sandboxie.com/

It wont prevent execution but will prevent escaping to the real os.
Wouldn't running it in eg Sandboxie address the biggest risk? I mean, sure, probably Sandboxie can be escaped, but what malicious script that's busy adding my computer to it's botnet is going to assume that my Firefox running in a sandbox?

I think there is a market gap. Even without AAA games, even without a mass-market presence, VR is a genuinely new medium and there will always be enough people fascinated by it to for content to keep producing.

Even if it's arty or niche content (which is fine by me) VR fills a unique role and people will want to keep experimenting with it.

Between education, arts, B2B, training etc the gaming side of VR could disappear entirely and there would still be enough usage to maintain an ecosystem. It doesn't take a huge company to design and make the hardware.

Maybe VR going underground for another decade wouldn't be such a bad thing. The tech industry might be slightly less unicorn-obsessed next time round.
Why by the elite? Finland has proportional representation so it is likely it's political system represents views that cross a large spectrum of the population.

James Joyce, in his “A portrait of the artist as a young man” makes a statement — through the voice of Stephen Daedalus, his alter ego — that a work of art that is really tragic must necessarily provoke in us both feelings of terror and pity, and go beyond pleasure and disgust. Here's the exact book passage:

“—Aristotle has not defined pity and terror. I have. I say...

Lynch halted and said bluntly:

—Stop! I won't listen! I am sick. I was out last night on a yellow drunk with Horan and Goggins.

Stephen went on:

—Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer. Terror is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the “secret cause”.

—Repeat, said Lynch.

Stephen repeated the definitions slowly.

—A girl got into a hansom a few days ago, he went on, in London. She was on her way to meet her mother whom she had not seen for many years. At the corner of a street the shaft of a lorry shivered the window of the hansom in the shape of a star. A long fine needle of the shivered glass pierced her heart. She died on the instant. The reporter called it a tragic death. It is not. It is remote from terror and pity according to the terms of my definitions.

—The tragic emotion, in fact, is a face looking two ways, towards terror and towards pity, both of which are phases of it. You see I use the word “arrest”. I mean that the tragic emotion is static. Or rather the dramatic emotion is. The feelings excited by improper art are kinetic, desire or loathing. Desire urges us to possess, to go to something; loathing urges us to abandon, to go from something. These are kinetic emotions. The arts which excite them, pornographical or didactic, are therefore improper arts. The esthetic emotion (I use the general term) is therefore static. The mind is arrested and raised above desire and loathing”.
This is not correct. We do use crater to help with questionable cases, but we often say “we can’t change this because we’re past 1.0 and the change is backwards incompatible.”
Ask HN: What is the best way to setup medicine reminders for my dad?
My dad is 70 years old and has a whole bunch of pills that he needs to take. He keeps forgetting to take his medication and I've been trying to come up with the best reminder system for this. I've tried installing a whole bunch of apps on his phone which do this but nothing has worked very well. He has an iPhone and the Apple Watch, and I am looking for a system that works across both these devices. If it also integrates with the Google Home then thats a bonus. He has poor vision so accessibility on the app is super important. Is this a problem that any of you have solved for your parents?
At least you are judged by a jury of your peers. Of course by "your peers" we mean we exclude people with the same profession as you, and we don't really mean people of the same social class. It might be people from your general area, unless the trial happens somewhere else where the laws favor the accusing party. But at least we can guarantee that your peers are humans. That ought to be enough.

Best system.
Start small. For example, never eat to satiation. Push away from the diner table while you still feel hungry. And remember that discipline derives from attention -- ask yourself: "Where is my attention?"
Help Me Understand the Uber Cancellation Scam
They are claimed to be cheaper to build. There is no real world evidence that they will actually be cheaper to build (per unit of power output), and they will likely be more expensive to operate (due to diseconomies of scale in staffing).

Gen III/III+ conventional reactors were also claimed to be cheaper to build. Look how that turned out.
The idea of expertise being an 'inferior good' isn't borne out the reality that companies like Google and VC-funded startups investing massively in increasing their software output tend to choose to locate their dev team in the most expensive region in the world for software developers, whilst the outsourcing trend is driven by IT budget cuts from the sort of companies that regard software as a cost centre.
TLDR; Slimv and Vlime support SLIME like development environment for Lisp in Vim. They have similar features but their implementation details and key-bindings are different. The OP prefers Slimv more than Vlime.

But I think the OP needs to add a disclosure that they are also contributor to Slimv - https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv/commits?author=susam.

Open source contributions are good. This is a good thing. But this needs disclosure because they could be biased towards this plugin consciously or subconsciously.
Well, the Most Wanted aren't uncaptured because 3 letter agencies don't know where they are. They are uncaptured because they don't visit or fly through the US.
How to Learn Hacking with CTFs?
Hmm. In my experience I like the Windows 10 experience.
I set up my commonly used applications in the customizable tiles otherwise just tap the windows key and start typing the app name, the indexer finds it in the first few letters.
That's really interesting. So Singapore basically has almost a georgist type thing going on? Do they collect much revenue in other ways or just predominantly rely on rent?
With human judges why do you say these can't be sorted out?

It seems this is how the legal system sorta fundamentally works (in America).

Laws are challenged in court and struck down all the time no?
I'm not sure if the 99 years aren't too long for that too bite properly. Modern Singapore is less than 60 years old.

I'd buy the logic more, if the leases were for eg 10 years at a time. (Or if there were charging a land value tax.) But do see https://www.iras.gov.sg/irashome/Property/Property-owners/Wo...

Singapore is an outlier in so many ways, it's hard to say what essential and what's accidental when comparing to eg California.

For example, NIMBYs seem to have almost no power here. In return for putting up with construction sites everywhere all the time, we get fancy modern infrastructure.

And between 2012 and now, residential rents seem to have come down by about a quarter. Mostly because much more housing supply came online.
The Google Glass is (almost) dead. RIP in advance. Long Live the Apple/FB/Snap Inc/North AR Glasses!
> It uses CVE-2019-9810 for getting code execution in both the content process as well as the parent process and CVE-2019-11708 to trick the parent process into browsing to an arbitrary URL.

I wonder why is the privileged parent process even allowed to execute unsigned Javascript from the network? IIRC it already has eval support turned off. I get that it's hard to get rid of privileged Javascript completely (Servo thankfully made the choice early on to not do that at all), but is there any feature that requires downloading & executing Javascript from the network in the privileged parent process?
Develop discipline by starting small. For example, push away from the dinner table while you still feel hungry. At work, do the most difficult and important tasks first. Discipline derives from attention. Ask yourself, "Where is my attention?"
The article specifically stated the law would only apply to those felons no longer on parole or probation.
It’s a bit of a leap to assume that TOR is vulnerable here, considering it disables JavaScript which is necessary for this exploit to work. Let’s not get carried away here please, there’s no need to stoke fears about TOR in this instance.
Nice, some comments:

1. I don't see details of retention anywhere, are you just storing indefinitely at the moment?

2. No sign-up is nice, but have you considered even just using cookies for 'my past notes'?

3a. ```Code blocks``` render as `inline code` in editing mode, which looks worse than not doing any 'preview' of them in edit mode at all IMO.

3b. ```lang hints (in the manner of Github flavour) are ignored, though some syntax highlighting is done with or without them.

3bi. This seems to mean that keywords from other languages are highlighted as if a keyword in the language used.

3bii. The syntax highlighting colour scheme used is not very colour-blind friendly.

4. Two users (uh, tabs) can concurrently edit, but each others' edits are not seen until refresh; so last to stop typing (=> save) wins.
Those 100k a year Google engineers gave us Chrome and Android as they are now.

Now do your judgement on their skill proficiency.

Not to say that Google and other akin companies still do employ droves of people in ultra cheap countries.
It's not that Georgist in practice. See https://www.iras.gov.sg/irashome/Annual-Reports/Corporate-In... for where government revenue comes from.

Income taxes provide more than taxes connected to land.

Singapore is however probably the closest thing you can find to an implementation of orthodox economics' prescriptions. (Especially since Hong Kong introduced minimum wage laws.)
Scrolling down pushes to the next view and then the back arrow leaves the application. This is very frustrating especially since this last question is free type in very large text.

This looks like a great idea though and I think it has amazing potential.
Could you elaborate on this? I've been toying with this idea for a while now and if love to hear your insights.
Jeff Bezos warns US military it risks losing tech supremacy
To paraphrase a famous quote on regular expressions:

"Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll automate.' Now they have two problems."
AI-assisted telemedicine along with (non-doctor) healthcare workers who regularly visit homes can help mitigate some of the problems you describe.

Healthcare workers can be almost an order of magnitude cheaper than doctors and take much less time to train.

In a middle-income country I know very well, there is no lack of such workers, but doctor shortage, esp specialists, is acute in many rural areas.
What you call "loopholes" are thankfully a standard part of most justice systems, by design.

It's called parole, sometimes released on licence. First you have to get past the parole board who will assess your suitability for release. The theory is to grant you supervised access back to society to regain your place in society. While on parole there's all sorts of reason you can find yourself back inside. Half or two thirds of sentence is pretty common too.

What America does different is not having post sentence - that's post release and parole - rehabilitation, you are always an ex-felon, even after 50 years law abiding. Other nations find offenders can often reform and regain a place in society, particularly if given a fair chance...
I use `wifi-menu` to connect to new networks. It creates the profile for me (generally just works) and everything. Otherwise, `wavemon` for general scanning.
Considering that "education" is being used for daycare and conformity first, it might not be "fixable" when these goals are still requirements...
Ask HN: Is it still profitable to start an app development company?
Do you think companies (enterprises and startups) still outsource app development? Will it decline or grow? Any inputs?
I was curious, so I searched for "most realistic video games" and most of the pages were concerned with "realistic graphics" rather than "realism." Also, I didn't see FC2 mentioned in any of them.

It feels like the two qualities overlap in some ways but are different in others. In 2 there was so much detail that you could shoot the blades on a fan and it would spin. A lot of this detail seems to have been lost in the later titles. As someone else put it Far Cry 5 "looks realistic" while Far Cry 2 "is realistic." Maybe they felt that excessive realism didn't contribute to making the game fun, although the impression I got was people saw FC2 as "superior" in some sense because of the attention to detail (such as nearly all vegetation being destructable in 2 but not in 5).
I am not taking about Parole or Probation. Time sentenced in certain jails or prisons would be counted as 2x or 3x more the time served. So cases are often delayed by the lawyers so that felons stay in these jails longer and can come out early. The podcast has more details. I am myself not well versed with the exact terminology.
