Okay, but markdown is data (perhaps not well structured, but data nonetheless) + formatting. If I'm editing and going into the files directly anyway why do I need to be able to do queries? I guess I'm asking what's the point? Can't I find the info I want just using find and grep on a bunch of markdown files? Maybe I don't even have to do that if I've organized my markdown files sufficiently well.

Let me be clear, I get that you don't have db operations with a bunch of markdown files with a directory structure, but on small scale data repositories do you really need that? For example, if I have a bunch of recipes in my "personal database of markdown files" I can quickly find the chili recipe I'm looking for by going to the directory "Soups & Salads > Chili > Slow Cooker Chili Recipe" or something along those lines. Or I could have grepped for "slow cooker chili". Either way I'm going to find that recipe with no extra tooling on my part.

Where do rec files features add value? Plus, if I use rec files now it seems I have to build my own formatting because I can't rely on markdown editors to build it automatically for me. Or is there a way to specify formatting for rec files?

The makers of Trim 14 notice that the enhancement plans to help weight reduction not simply by helping you decrease fat collected in the stomach district yet in your general body as well. Let us see whether it is very viable as it sounds.
From my point of view, an incomprehensible stack trace is a big improvement over silently failing to work, because then you learn to comprehend the stack trace and you can fix the error. This is one of the central design principles of Python, rooted in experience with teaching beginners to program in the ABC teaching language.

The extra code is not actually magic gibberish, although it does appear that way at first. In Python you can comment out individual lines and observe the effect, change the parameters, or type

>>> from pygame import *
>>> help(display.flip)

Although an IDE may make that easier, and of course you don't start out knowing that.

What is your experience teaching beginners to program? What tools did you have them use, and what did they have the most difficulty with?

"The OpenBSD/sgi port was discontinued after the 6.5 release."

That said, it was a very mature port and ran on many models, in 64-bit mode.

The code remains in -current for now.. the last release, 6.5 is a complete modern (was released in 2019) Unix operating system, which is more than can be said for running IRIX or Linux on these machines. I'm not even _aware_ of any binary distros of Linux for these. And good luck building your own kernel and userland.

Even if someone genuinely is a sociopath, there is an argument to be made that if you are young enough, some portion of that is the fault of your parents.

(Numbers from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_production_during_Wor...)

Yes, they produced a great many tanks. Of the 270,041 tanks and self-propelled guns made by the Allies, 120,000 of them were made by the Soviets. That's a very impressive number, Russian tanks were pretty good, and tanks in general are impressive machines, so this makes for a very good example if you want to boast about Soviet productivity.

What about other vehicles though? The Soviets got 400,000 good trucks and jeeps from America. Tanks alone won't win a war, you need to move men and supplies too otherwise those tanks won't get very far. Take a look at the "Other Vehicles" column on the land vehicles table.

Take a look at the aircraft table on that same page. The British alone made way more aircraft than the Soviets, and frankly the British aircraft were much better. Particularly the Lancaster, which was superb. The British gave thousands of combat aircraft to the Soviet Union, and trained many Soviet pilots as well.

If you look at the table for production of coal, iron, and oil, you'll find that the Soviet Union was lagging far behind Britain and America. And Canada deserves a special mention for producing most of the aluminum. Of course I don't say any of this to demean the contribution of the Soviet Union to the war effort. It's undeniable that the Soviet Union shed the most blood, paying for the war with tens of millions of lives. How many more would have died had Soviet resources been stretched even thinner? That's not a pleasant thing to consider.

The war was a team effort. That's my point.

> As far as ad blocking is concerned, this is less of a restriction than it may seem, since ad sources are often identifiable by the host name

Except if you use YouTube, which is a pretty significant service but impossible to use domain-based adblock like pi-hole with since both ads and content are served through the same Google domain. If you use the YouTube for Android app that means you have to sit through ads.

The alternative is something like invidious[0], but last time I tried it was impossible to seek videos more than half an hour because the seek bar shares its space with the player controls so it ends up occupying only ~15% of the viewport.

The Mac App Store not being popular doesn’t invalidate the argument at all, since Apple had reason to believe that it would be when they made the investment. It’s not clear what you mean with your update - what would it even mean to pull social media apps back to the Mac, and how would that help the situation with tools for thought?

It’s not at all clear to me that the use cases that did stay on the Mac are demonstrably not compatible with sandboxing. Can you explain that?

Certainly in-process plug-ins aren’t compatible, but those are utterly insecure and Apple continues to improve out of process extension mechanisms.

Yes, for people like you and me and fellow HNers. 99% of the world has no clue who Holmes is and that is a good thing.
HN isn’t a community of luddites and articles like this get tons of people up in arms almost everyday. Same is true at most other tech sites.

The point is that bad faith actions (forced obsolescence, surveillance, no commitment to security, weak sharing of protocols etc.) are holding back smart home and IoT significantly. This technology has so much potential and is not THAT new but adoption is still hit or miss. It’s a bad sign that so many self described techies are comfortably waiting on the sideline or worse, afraid to have some of these devices in their homes.

I agree that smart tech is beyond useful but when the big IoT players ignore detractors and repeat the same mistakes over and over again it’s just flushing potential (and value) down the toilet.

It would be great to see industry take complaints to heart and begin to build trust in their ecosystems.
If you read the storyboard diffs the layout code is human readable, just need to get used to it. Although there is no docs
"Ordered" actually means "has a wide variety", not "everything is the same." The self-attractive potential energy of a primordial gas cloud is highly directed (it has a center) and the range of distances from that center is great. When the cloud collapses the range collapses, there's less variation, and so entropy has increased.

Also, a gas cloud isn't a closed system. As it collapses it heats up and emits infrared photons that escape.

[edit: Actually, I think the important variation is "center" vs. "particle's position." A large sphere, with all particles at the same distance from the center, would still have a lot of potential energy, and a small sphere less so.]

How to Modulate to G 1/2 Sharp (Jacob Collier-Style)
Your error diffusion dither is strange to me. Why do you not use two-dimensional patterns like Floyd-Steinberg or Jarvis-Judice-Ninke?

Is your assumption that you're diffusing error linearly in Morton or Hilbert curves? Because I'm pretty sure that's going to be outperformed in quality by any common 2D error diffusion pattern.

It's a vague question, there are tons of things FB does to make sure you are who you say you are for example:

- They will ask for a valid photo ID of you

- They will ask you to match pictures of "friends" you have in your account, with their names (like a quiz)

- They will force you to add a phone number to your account

- They might even ask friends to verify you...

...
on top of that there are many things, not one single thing, that lead your account to be forcefully de-activated. and the steps to re-enable it are pretty annoying, especially if you don't feel like sharing too much with FB!
But court could have stayed the block till it finished arguing the case, but it didn't. It let the block be for 2.5 years, while it made up its mind. To my eye it is problematic that.
No particular sources, but topic-wise what made things click for me was roman numeral notation and secondary chords. Or rather, implementing the math behind those things made me feel like I understood what was going on, and that's the nomenclature/data structure I stuck with. But the notation in the PDF is equivalent - it all boils down to having an array of numbers and then either reindexing the array or adding to the elements modulo 12; everything beyond that is just nomenclature.

The only thing difficult about it is finding sources that just explain the (extremely simple) math without tons of opaque terminology. E.g. here's the second sentence of wikipedia's definition for "secondary chord":

> Because tonic triads are either major or minor, you would not expect to find diminished chords (either the viio in major or the iio in minor) tonicized by a secondary dominant.

Blech. For years I've meant to write a bare-bones "music for programmers" article but haven't done it yet. There are other such articles around but I never saw one I was enthusiastic enough about to bookmark.

For dev setup, if you're a browser/JS person I recommend Tone.js, which is a very short path from zero to "here's an array of integers, play quarter notes for their midi values". I outgrew it at some point and now roll everything by hand, but I probably shouldn't have.

> If you take away that assumption, then what would be your argument?

The argument is that the civil and criminal proceedings are considering largely similar statements of fact. The burden of proof is lower in the civil case, of course, but the facts under consideration are the same. Or course, slightly different exact statements are being considered but with a substantively similar underlying truth claim: theranos was a fraud. The real point is, it's hard to believe she would ever win the criminal proceedings and lose the civil proceedings.

To me, it would make sense for the courts to insist that the civil proceeding is resolved first when the criminal proceeding is considering largely the same statements of fact but with a higher burden of proof. Why? Because the people the criminal code is supposed to be protecting are largely the same people who are suing, and those folks would probably prefer getting some money back.

The problem is that this would probably violate the sixth amendment (as is mentioned in my initial post). So, again, constitutionally, I understand why. This just seems like a bug rather than a feature.

So, this isn't about "innocent until proven guilty". This is about "speedy trial". I think one possibility, moving forward, is the following workflow:

1. Federal prosecutors communicate intent to prosecute, and provide a list of victims purportedly effected

2. Any effected victims may file civil suits

2a. Judges/congress/state legislative bodies exempt commitments to defense funds for future possible criminal cases from bankruptcy

3. civil cases resolved

4. criminal charges filed and proceedings begin

We test the limits of every amendment that applies to non-corporate-executives, so why not the sixth in fraud proceedings against C suites as well?
There isn't, no.

> Forced incarceration is pretty rare, and doesn't seem likely to become common or misused in severe ways.

How do you know if it's pretty rare? I'm unaware of anyway for people to collect data on it. I'm doubtful anyone can get justice when it happens, unless insanely rich and or large media following while being wrongly forcibly incarnated.

I'm not aware of many limitations besides some people getting their driver's license taken away. I think most people don't seek treatment because they don't really believe in the psych illnesses. Also the baggage that comes with relying on medication with the short or long term side effects.
