Yeah I realise I could've explained a bit more about template arguments indeed! The point was that it can be hard to specify the return type.
A previous debugging hole I fell into once accidentally and barely managed to escape left me with the impression that every event has a "custom" decoder associated; there's no "built-in" event types from the Event Viewer's perspective. There are a handful of very common "custom decoders" that when they break it is an interesting world of madness. In the case of my debugging, one of the decoders installed by the .NET Framework (and used by almost all apps that use the main .NET Event Log libraries) broke and needed repair. It seems like there is a bunch of power in building custom decoders, but I never want to try debugging one again.
Parenting is hard. Giving up is the wrong thing to do for the child.
I think you're using poor as a proxy for uninvolved parents.

I'd actually be interested in the data if anyone has it. If you have no dad and mom is working then you're at a huge disadvantage no matter what.

These same kids ruin school for everyone else. Dead beat parents treat school like a day-care and ruins the learning experience for everyone else.

Also poor kids go to poor schools. 35 kids to a class, teacher who has mentally checked out 3 decades ago, gang activity in the halls, books are literally falling apart.

Going to a poor school sucks more than learning from home. Bullies and gang activities are rampant. School administration doesn't care because those stats make the school look bad. Yuck

What tech stack should I use?
Ah ok. Article is paywalled for me so I couldn't see that.
If it's sandboxed and accesses only the resources (network, disk etc.) you explicitly allow it to, you don't need to know how the processing is done. Spyware is not born out of legally obtained closed-source software. It's born out of corporations selling centralized SaaS, infringing on users' privacy and locking them in by design. The very same corporations championing OSS big time, because it benefits their spyware business. With thousands of naive contributors slaving off for posterity and hope that they will get noticed and hired. How ethical is that?

Granted, if you sign an NDA and pay extra, you may have the source. If this is the model you suggest, I think it's fair.
Wow. That’s news to me. Walmart is so calculated.
The laws on the books are fine. The problem is that the USDoJ and Fed courts have been captured, and don't enforce the laws as written. Judges and prosecutors invented their own modifications to the laws.

By the law as written, anybody seen exercising monopoly power is, and has chosen to be, a monopoly, and is governed by public utility rules, not regular market rules. The way the DoJ has chosen to re-interpret the law, it doesn't kick in until "consumers" see high prices. Charging below-cost prices and driving everyone out of business first, so there is after no one to compare prices to, gets no attention.

The only real reasons schools exist in the first place.
In the scale of internet discussions, this isn't responding to the strongest form of the claim; yes getting rid of things you dislike and replacing them with things you like feels good, but the claim from Prof. Gilbert is that if you can't get rid of things you dislike, then you change to like them more, is so much more significant.

The idea that, if you were a hunter gatherer and didn't have options you would be less happy is the what the talk and the described research is calling false; instead we demonstrably adjust to become happy when faced with no options, which means people like what they have more than they predicted they would not just because they got to choose it, but even if they couldn't choose it.

> In trying rolling releases, namely Arch and the Manjaro derivative, I seem to have more upgrade version conflicts than I do with regular Fedora `dnf upgrade` and the bi-annual system upgrade.

It's possible I just happen to not be using the broken packages, but I've been using Arch as my daily driver for about six years now, and I've run into package conflicts when upgrading maybe once or twice. For me, having a package conflict once every three years or so (which as you say is generally resolved within a couple days) is worth immediately getting upgrades for everything on my system rather than having to wait for a new release of the OS itself. I also prefer not having the default desktop environment tied to the distro I'm using; although I do use Gnome, every distro I've tried out that has it pre-installed comes with a lot of extra stuff that I don't want installed, and even after removing it, some systems will reinstall most of it on OS upgrades. I completely understand the appeal of a distro that has explicit releases and comes working out-of-the-box, but it's just not something I want.
Have you ever been in the military? From my time in the USMC, it was a meritocratic institution where your race was irrelevant, and overt racists wouldn't last long. Do you have any sources to back up the "strong ties to white nationalism" and plenty of likeminded KKK type racists?
With questionable copyright claim, Jay-Z orders deepfake parodies off YouTube
Just want to take exception to what you have said here. The issue is a matter of culture, not of access to teachers or the Internet. I home school my children and they have NO access to the Internet, have had no other teachers except for myself and my wife and yet you would not find them shirking their educational opportunities like this. We taught them discipline, to learn, to value education, and a love for knowledge; after that we could not keep them away from education. They were teaching themselves and pulling ahead of their peers years ago. They used pencils, paper and books...libraries and the books in them. That is not to say they don't love the outdoors; they also love to hunt, camp, hike and play baseball but they keep it in it's proper place. My children are the way they are because of our family culture. If those children had such a culture then this would not be a problem. But the truth is that the parents hand their children over to the schools and then that is it. They are not involved in any other way...it is no wonder the children are the way they are.
> you don't think there's any need for a way to determine whether two real numbers are equal.

You are putting words in my mouth.

And you clearly do not understand the answer.

I guess I'm not very good at ELI5 because I very clearly answered your question with your own proposal.

Maybe when you get to college a professor can do a better job explaining it to you (if you actually make it to college, because you're going to struggle very hard if that's how you think when an answer is spoon-fed to you).
Precisely. We have homeschooled our three kids from the beginning and learned a lot. It only takes a few hours to go through the curriculum for three kids of different ages. It might take a bit longer if they are being difficult or going thru a new concept but rarely. After that we have various activities around the house / neighborhood they will participate in on their own. We would also have activities outside the house, piano lessons, P.E. classes with other homeschooled kids etc. They are kept fairly busy but not with the busy work you would typically find in public schools.
> frustrated by shipping times

Personally, this is the issue with the largest effect on my willingness to try other e-commerce sites. When 1-2 day shipping becomes normal, it's hard to want to shop somewhere else like eBay when shipping times are usually in the 1-2+ week time frame. So when Amazon started telling me it would be 3-4 weeks before I got what I ordered (because apparently their definition of essential doesn't overlap completely with my own), I started looking other places.
I'd rather the Fed lose money than people lose their jobs because some CEO decided the C-suite needed bonuses and stock holders needed a dividend.
Aye correct! I should've been more clear about that, sorry.

It bothers me that one of the cloud seeding compounds they used was lead based. I wonder how much permanent pollution was left behind.
I really appreciate the skill of the person operating the machine but it doesn't sound particularly different from any random CD to me. I guess it's an interesting constraint for the DJ though, you can't swap the tape in and out without rewinding it first, you can seek randomly like on a vinyl. It's a cool art performance but the resulting audio on its own is fairly mundane as far as I can tell. It sounds a bit compressed but that's fairly common for that type of music so it's hard to judge if it's a constraint of the hardware or an artistic choice.

I think softbank largely made up for it by giving free millions to wework's Israeli Adam Neumann. It really shows their lack of due diligence on both cases.
Hmm, probably either the reels I’ve tried this with, or using bad technique, but there is no way the ones I’ve tried could handle a second bake. They start looking semi-transparent in spots like scotch tape!

On one hand, I don't understand why they need so many employees for a ride-sharing platform. On the other hand, I can understand that people are just so eager to find another growth point so anything looking like a growth point could get almost unlimited capitals then hire a lot.
Yes I guess this is a controversial opinion: I do not consider anything that has the NC truly free. Pretty much all "free" datasets are NC-licensed, but they still throw around the word free. GPL is in a similar vein.

In the AV industry, there are a bunch of big datasets, all NC. At least now we have the Udacity sets and Audi recently released a really big dataset which was a proper CC BY-SA, Finally! This is something I with good conscious would be able to label free IMHO.
A bigger question is how is one allowed to join the navy after taking part in a racially motivated drive-by shooting?
Der Arzt/die Ärztin, der Pfleger/die Pflegerin (I think "Krankenschwester" isn't being used formally anymore)

Occupations generally have a male and a female variant and as far as I know you are required to address both in formal speech (so I wouldn't call this an "experiment" anymore).

The only area where I'd say this isn't implemented yet is informal speech. Few people watch their day-to-day language for gender neutrality.
This is very cool!

Does anyone have an instinct what kind of use of Jitsi you would have to have to make a more complicated infrastructure (I'm not saying containers, but maybe containers) cost-efficient?

e: To be clear, I'm fully aware that 98% of personal setups for friends or small organizations would be just fine with this setup; I'm wondering what it would take to need more.
At least at the moment, amazon is the only online shop operating here in the UK (also, Union coffee). 20 years ago, they were the only place with a website. Now they're the only place who can keep that website working and keep the infrastructure behind it working.

Why does it matter and why does it mention Softbank? Seems like someone just want to bash people they don't agree with. Flagged.
Same. I keep my phone face down and on do not disturb, on my nightstand, and only pick it up once I'm ready to start the work day.

I find even seeing the app icons for notifications on my lock screen can lead me down a nonstop work path where you end up in you PJ's at 11h30 with zero caffeine in you and a feeling of a day already passed.
It's so interesting how these surveillance/data-gathering companies (Palantir, Banjo, Anduril) are founded by right-wing types. Professed small government libertarians building that very same government's intelligence apparatus for profit. It's exactly this double-speak on government and individual liberty that makes minorities distrustful of conservatives.

You don't have to track their emails unless you are reusing emails as usernames. Just tracking the username suffices.

This is also one of those situations where people often put too much shit in the user table. "we have to delete the user row" -- I mean, you have to delete some of the user row, yes.

I like to solve this by proper namespacing. Suppose you instead deliberately have an authUser table which just has what you need for auth -- a UUID to hook into the rest of the system, salts and passwords for direct logins, maybe a nullable date "banned_until" if you want banning; assuming you use crypto bearer tokens rather than an auth tokens table then you also want a column with a date date for "tokens last reset on"; etc. You can put the username in there just fine, that's needed for auth. Maybe you let people log in with email+password and thus you also put their email address in there, also fine.

As long as the authUser table does not grow to encompass all of your other business logic you are good. Other tables foreign key to authUser and you delete rows from them and that doesn't upset the foreign key. You leave the row in authUser to indicate that the username is taken.

An additional "deleted" field on authUser can be used to block logins and thus the username is taken but they can't log in. As for the email address, even if you insist on a UNIQUE and NOT NULL constraint for it (and I would find this surprising in an age where we log in a lot with social media) you can auto purge by setting it to CONCAT(id, "@purged.example") and then you have a valid email address which is nowhere else used in your auth flow, no personally-identifiable information at all. Heck then you don't even need the boolean flag if you would rather forbid the .example TLD from logging in.

So that has worked well for me in the past and it seems to solve those sorts of problems with only a little tweak. The key is that the PII need is to delete the "user row" but that does not have to be the authUser row -- if you separate the two rows out then you can leave the authUser row while still having a table appUser which lives in your application and contains all the cool stuff about this user using that app. It also naturally lends itself to you thinking about a sort of SSO for all of your different applications up-front.
It's really hard to come up with neutral titles for a story this inflammatory. I changed it from the article's main title in the hope that it would have less of a less extreme effect on the thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23011234). But I missed the fact that the subtitle also included a different sort of flamebait.

One consistent lesson of moderating an internet forum is that titles dominate discussion virtually completely.

Based on the parents I've known who've homeschooled, I suspect the lack of socialization you describe must be at least a little exceptional. Not to minimize its impact, but it doesn't seem like a necessary consequence of the practice, going by what I've seen.
> Elimination of the price mechanism eliminates a key way to sort out who truly needs healthcare (or whatever service). Consider a safe elective knee surgery. If you knew it was paid for by the government, you would just sign yourself up for the surgery for even the slightest ache. If there was a copay, you might reconsider unless your pain was actually painful enough to warrant it.

Huh? Surgeries don't work like that, they all have significant risks of giving you worse problems than you already have. And even if successful, they're not going to leave you "good as new" or anything like that.

Also, the price mechanism doesn't actually do anything to sort out who "truly needs healthcare," all it does it make it so the wealthy can get whatever they want and the poor can't even get what they need. The actual mechanism for preventing unnecessarily and wasteful medical care is the professional ethics of doctors and the caution of patients.

It still looks a lot like C.
Due to the current efficiency of electrolysis, hydrogen could easily become less expensive than gas. Which is already quite cheap.

BEVs were equally expensive when they first came onto the market. There’s no reason to think hydrogen cars won’t be able to match them on price in the future.

A gas stations failure mode is also a giant fireball, so is a BEV and ICE cars failure mode. We seem to be doing fine despite that.

I’m not predicting that hydrogen cars are going to replace BEVs. Just that they obviously have the potential to do so, that they better align with the existing value propositions of ICE cars, and that to say the future is 100% confirmed BEV is simply wrong.
What happens if I create an account at both foo@gmail.com and foo1000@gmail.com (or even foo+@gmail.com and foo+1000@gmail.com), and then delete the first one?
Amazon in Australia exists but it is not that successful, many people still prefer to buy in Ebay and other online stores. Most things you don't need at the same day and ebay is cheaper and got more variety. Maybe because Australia is far away and the population is so small and sparse it doesn't make sense to keep local stock like Amazon do. There is also no culture of returns like in the US and general service in shops is not as good and lenient as in the US so people don't expect it also from the online seller.
>if they take your land to build a road, they have to give you the fair market value of the land

Yeah, well, in Wisconsin under Walker, a lot of our farm families learned the hard way that this is not always the case. (Foxconn). It depends on how badly they want your land. But, yeah, it can be perfectly legal for the government not to pay you fair market value.

But to your central point, the government doesn't have to compensate you for anything in an emergency. That's why when criminals rob a bank or Walmart and then hide out in your home unbeknownst to you, the police are free to grenade the place. Perfectly legal for them to leave you the burning hulk of what used to be your house and say, "Don't thank us!" It was an emergency. (Or at least, they'll say it was.)
And it will still no drive safely on a real road for at least 5 years.

The problem with any Non Commercial licenses is where you draw the line. Say you want to mirror these images, can you show ads on the site to cover hosting costs ? What about asking for donations ? What if you want to print them and distribute to schools - can you get reimbursed for the paper ink and distribution costs ?

It gets murky pretty fast, often preventing people from even using such media as they fear possible issues down the line due to uncertainty. At the same time, any bootleggers won't care.

Due to this NC clauses are generally not recommended and are for example not part of any OCI accepted open source licenses.

At first I thought this was a Tractor Cab in the sense of a Tractor Trailer and I got excited...

But, still similar enough. I run product for a Telematics Platform company that sells into the large enterprise fleets. Have spent a lot of time in cabs of trucks learning about what driver's need and trying to "feel the pains" of being a commercial driver. It's a rough and tough environment, though the new vehicles are pretty damn nice.

Building software systems for things that move and can't really afford any downtime is a great set of challenges that I never would have expected to enjoy. Much less trying to shift paradigms in a legacy-laden industry away from "boxes of software" to a true development platform.
It's also a bad example because pack number is determined largely by genetics and visibility is largely determined by diet. Look at Arnold in his Mr Olympia days, he only had a 5-pack.
