It's good to be skeptical. You asked a fair question, and when presented with evidence you changed your position. Those are all positive things.

Precisely no one, without any exceptions, has ever been investigated, harassed and interrogated by "Canada" (presumably you meant the government) for doing things like writing books that criticize Trudeau. This is pure fantasy. Ezra Levant is an alt-right troll who even gets away with most of his alt-right trolling without well-deserved libel lawsuits.
This also means your little one is not getting that community immunity. You want your little one to get sick at a young age to ward of invaders as they get older.

Anecdote: my niece gets sick badly and passes it on to everyone in her house at least every other month. She does not got to daycare. My LO does go to daycare and comes home with a new mild sickness once every third week and is fine a few days later. I’m interested to see how he fairs when school opens up again

Once covid-19/sars-cov-2 is over would you support the same levels of lockdown for car accidents and flu/viral pneumonia? Many more lives could be saved with the same political will and public support you find on this issue.

These lockdowns can clearly prevent the spread of existing diseases and save magnitudes more lives as presented by the article along with the inevitable traffic statistics to come out showing the effects.

I'm wondering how someone here supporting lockdowns can justify not repeating it once this pandemic is over? Is ten young healthy lives taken by cars not worth one old ill one taken by a disease?
I don't know, I don't need personal calls or empathy or compassion or you being grateful and vulnerable. This is women talk and women rarely create startup companies anyway. Just give me the news, I can deal with it, what I can't stand is this condescending pussyfication of the western mind.
The patient’s own body makes the secretions. It’s a combination of leakage from damaged cells in the lungs caused by the virus, and the natural immune response. Since the infection is inside the lungs, producing mucus is the body’s way to try to encapsulate and expel contaminants, and also provides a liquid medium for antibodies and white blood cells to circulate in.

With covid-19 and flu, you generally don’t die from the effects of the virus, you die from the side-effects of your own body’s immune response.

If Math had only ever produced such models? Yes, yes I would. And I think so would you, and most other people.
I don't think so; just speech is OK, or else bow is OK.
That same team--led by the same guy: Lars Bak--was later hired by Google to develop v8 for Chrome and later built the VM for Dart (which has some really powerful features in static object layout and AOT support). Virtually every single seminal VM for decades was designed by this same group of people, with almost all other VMs you see just borrowing those same techniques to apply to other languages.
As an experienced web dev with recent (professional) unity exposure, I can say while it is overall a productive framework, it's definitely a bit messy. Many things feel incomplete, important features like addressable feel needlessly complex, and their web services quality (documentation, support, status notifications, etc) is wanting. Not unsalvageable or unusable, but didn't strike me as high enough bar to keep a quality competitor out. If I were starting fresh I would take a hard look at the competition where as going in id assumed unity was going to be an obvious frontrunner.

It doesn't seem like a bad choice but it's definitely not secured it's lead.

I remember snow crash but I don’t remember much about it. I spent virtually my entire dialup childhood on lambdamoo. Lambda was a giant mansion and you would start in a closet. One of the bottom floors of the mansion had a mirror which replayed things that recently happened in the room. The mansion was huge but I would constantly leave and explore the street. That’s how you ended up in crazy places like a helicopter or random ass island. Still don’t remember how I ended up in someone’s self built house. All I remember is they were having a party and it was freaking awesome reading through everything at 4am hoping my parents wouldn’t barge in and yell at me lol. Good memories :)

If anyone with the handle “dags” sees this, hello from your helicopter buddy

Any user agent string will eventually be forced down the same path. Web sites use them to deny content. And the browsers will continue to try to match more patterns so their users see the content.

As long as they exist, I can see no escaping this arms race.
“What if we made a better world...and it was all for nothing”
Making good instructional videos is tough. Speaking loud enough, clear enough and slow enough to be understandable to as many people as possible with different levels of language proficiency can make it seem weird for some. I met Carl at a Unite conference and his voice sounded a little off compared to my memory of it and I realized it's because I've been so used to listening at 2x on those videos.

For what? Honest question. You have to be like a 5th-level user agent wizard to make any sense of user agent strings, since every browser now names every other browser. How do you do anything useful with this in a way that's forward-compatible?

DRM can be used for good as well as bad; it is about control. Most DRM is used for corporations to control you. But you can use things like this readout protection and Restricted ("Secure") Boot to get control over your own devices. If the BIOS lets you use your own keys (many do), Restricted Boot prevents attackers from booting unauthorized software on your computer. Similarly readout protection just hides the code on the device; this is useful for anyone who wants added security (security through obscurity is not perfect but it is always helpful).

In that regard this news is bad since it means a security tool has been broken. But it is good in that the security tool was very often used by evildoers.

Of course both of these examples rely on you trusting the bios & rdp implementation - ideally they would be open source.

The original comment I was responding to was, in its entirety:

"Whatever happened to copyright..."

And I'm gonna be honest: to me, that is not just asking an innocent question in a friendly and non-confrontational way. It's implicitly pretty accusatory.
True, but there are significant components in pure Rust, such as `fst` (full disclaimer, I wrote it). Which is written in purely safe Rust.

> and safety implied by "made in Rust" is not, in fact, guaranteed

Just about every Rust program depends on some C code, usually at least in the form of a libc. So you could lodge this criticism against almost every Rust project.

> and if you expect the certainty that Rust provides w.r.t to security, race conditions and leaks

Rust's safety story covers neither race conditions nor leaks.

So, two things I see here, 1) only one person is allowed to push changes to the dgit repo then? How are you supposed to collaborate on a remote dgit repo, in that manner it is very different than a github remote, or am I missing something? and 2) Someone can hoard all popular repos and make it seem that they are original versions, pointing people to clone them from dgit, when in fact they could have been modified with malicious code? How do you address these issues?

The prevailing wisdom on Wall Street is that an anti-capitalist would be devastating to the economy, so this should be no big news. Keep in mind that quant firms like Jane Street aren't necessarily long-biased on their positions, so it's likely ideologically motivated.
Sorry, bad wording on my part. There is no way I'd ever think harming people could be good. For the economy, or otherwise.

LambdaMOO was awesome, and an incredibly practical introduction to OOP and security! Quc's cage for example. Who has permissions to call your characters move() method? What about who called them? Lets iterate the call stack or we'll either be stuck here forever, or we can never type "go north" again!

You have a Star Trek ship parent object, and these ships can fire at each other? Ok.

Emit appropriate text to users in the room "Klingon warbird decloaks..." Bonus, do it again, get all six photon torpedoes back, because init() method called when chparenting.
Containers are not necessary if the systems are build with something like Guix or Nix as they provide transaction level updates to applications and dependency and secure by default as no need to run a daemon with root access to run, monitor and manage containers. They provide same way of managing application deployment, the way application source code is managed with versioned deployments and rollbacks all baked in.

But as with any technology Guix and Nix are still decade ahead of the present and may pick up later when technology converge back to running application servers and other dependent software in isolation with user level namespaces.

Kubernetes try to solve one problem and create 10 other infrastructure problems to manage and instead of working on application, tie the company to a specific distribution or cloud service provider. So far there is nothing revolutionary in it unless the startup or company adopting k8s is google size operations.

From a software developer perspective which is the main audience of HN it will be popular as most of them dream or wants to work for company of size google. Startup founders want to solve the scaling problem like google in the beginning as everyone dreams to be google size from day one. Kubernetes complexity is useful at large scale for majority i.e. over 90% of the deployments simple containers, bare metal or VM with traditional configuration management will be sufficient.
More background services would be very nice even though it's a bit of a security nightmare. A request was opened almost 5 years ago for background geolocation services.

I don't want Google or central authorities to decide which PWAs are "trustworthy" directly to ask for certain permissions but there could be a way or compromise. I don't remember which feature it was but it required yes from Google.

I really want the first screen after installing PWAs to be their privacy policy or detailing which permissions/how they use them. It should be mandatory and important or may show a default screen with permissions and few dangerous ways they can be used for.
I tried that - really didn't like it.

I've been happy with the Aeron chair and getting up pretty often to wander around a bit.
I've been using the ring for a couple of months now and never these issues. Whenever I was awake (even when I didn't move), the ring correctly recorded it. When I wake up even for just a second to roll around and faintly remember it, the ring correctly tracked it.

Not saying it's the most accurate thing because it likely isn't, but it's still far better than other trackers IMO

You need division to go from a file offset in bytes to a sector number, hence the need for power of 2 sizes to make this fast. The kernel assumes in multiple places sectors are a power for 2 for this reason - it doesn't rely on the compiler to optimize it (which may not even be possible for some of the compilers it works on).

If you are talking about using reserved sectors for book keeping at the end of the disk that is possible and commonly done.
