The reason I'm here is that there are often better informed experts here than in the cited articles. Maybe that's the case here or maybe not. Or maybe you're the best expert on the subject. I don't know, but I don't mind hearing the opposing view.

It's not like (I hope!) any government's public policy is being driven by HN comment threads.

> So experts are wrong and you're right. OK.

Yes, that position was already clear from their comment.
peepmatic: a DSL and compiler for peephole optimizers for Cranelift
All this lab talk lacks nuance and is being abused as propaganda. You say "it came from a lab" and imply that it's some manufactured bio terrorism thing.
It has been:

- the retina MBA is ~ 5 W (but I think it's configurable by the manufacturer and configured up, since it has a fan, though no heat pipe, unlike the 12-inch MB that was fully passive) [Edit: I think it's 10 W.]

- the 2-port (originally no touch bar) MBP is 15 W

- the 4-port 13-inch MBP is 28 W

Of course Apple never mentions this, or the Intel CPU model numbers.

(And FWIW the pre-retina MBA is 15 W, and before the USB-C models the 13-inch Pro was 30 W only.)
This is a really good getting started with Vyos article, thank you!
Revoked government certificates are published on the website of the ICAO, so it isn't very difficult to get this information.
For revoked passports there is no solution as of now.
You're right that developers do this, but in this case I would say its because the designers have to justify their existence. as a class of developer.

An interface which lasts generations because its good is not the same, necessarily, as this years hot new ideology among the design elite.
Stop ordering from Amazon if you really feel so strongly about this. No point making all this grand-stands while on the other hand, you will just goto Amazon for your needs. That is the real way to hurt them.
I don't doubt that people that are 19 hear things through the rumor mill. That is how the 5g rumor spread and why the UK has so many destroyed 5g towers right now. But there is a difference between the gossip spread through social networks, and news.

Also, to note--Google doesn't generate its own news. It sources it to news organizations...Similarly, YouTube News coverage are just segments of news broadcasts by news organizations...
>If the nervous coughing explanation is correct (for example) then most episodes should show a similar pattern which would undermine the conviction.

That doesn't necessarily follow. It could still be that this one person has a nervous cough response to correct answers. Doesn't mean everyone with a cough does the same.
> And that is one of the most disrespectful things I hear applied to low wage earners - that they are incapable of learning new skills, that they're not as capable as other workers or that they they're doomed in be in low wage jobs forever.

That's not what the GP said at all. Rather, their statement acknowledges that there are low age earning people who are capable. All they said is that the challenges of daily subsistence in a low-wage situation add a significant additional obstacle to gaining the skills and experience needed to get a higher paying job.
I think that's the nature of public corporations. Once the board starts to gain influence, the company is gradually steered by people who are not interested in image or philanthropy any further than necessary for growth.
Youre not going to start giving it to humans based on this study, but comparing it to "x cures cancer" petri dish studies minimizes it a bit too much in my opinion. This is a pretty different type of in vitro study than the "x kills cancer cells" type since it's not measuring something that any d compound (or a gun) would be able to do. This is an antibody that is shown in a specific assay to bind to a part of the virus that is conserved between sars and covid, and they're showing neutralizing action. So, you can put a lot more weight in using this study as the basis of a clinical development program to develop this as an antibody drug than your typical "really high concentrations of this chemical from chocolate killed everything it touched in a petri dish so it's good for cancer!" type of studies.
It is a little bit obscure, and saying "prioritization" would probably be clearer.

But it does actually work. When there are high-value things to do, then that is the opportunity cost of doing low-value things instead. ie, by doing the low-value thing you incur opportunity cost equal to high-value thing.

If we implement Feature Y, we can make $$$.
If we fix Bug X, we can make $.
So the opportunity cost of Bug X is $$$, the benefit of Bug X is only $, so we're not going to fix it right now.
I'm on the same machine. Also on Arch linux with Gnome Wayland as my DE.

It's been a complete delight. Actually, it's been leaps and bounds better than macOS Catalina on my work machine.

For me, the transition to Wayland made a HUGE difference. Trackpad actually feels basically the same as macOS, and better than windows 10.

Multi-monitor support is better than macOS (which loses my monitor arrangement consistently with two identical monitors and through a usb-c dock).

Bluetooth works as expected. (Not so for macOS catalina anymore, they've fucked up an truly astounding number of things...)

Suspend/resume are both fine.

Battery life is actually around 10 hours if I'm just doing light dev.

Basically - I've been pestering my office to let me switch for a while now. I'd take an XPS running linux over the current iteration of macbook/macOS hands down.
How can you guarantee timely, accurate queries with datasets?
I don't think so. If I bribed (or "lobbied") a congressman to vote for my bill, did I really hack the US federal government?
S3's use of separate servers for website hosting is actually very sensible. Options like usage of index.html and error.html only apply on the website servers and won't cause any surprises for people using the service as a key-object store.

That said, I would absolutely not consider using B2 without support for index.html, error.html, and Website-Redirect-Location.
Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera - In-Depth Review and Comparison
On the note of unit cost I doubt it will be much lower in the near future. Cost / GB isn't falling much if at all, and their Load balancer are already eating into their margin which means any further reduction in unit cost are only gaining back what they took in with the S3 API. Hopefully the new S3 compatible API means they could make all that back with volume.

But this is also a sad realisation that storage tech aren't getting cost reduction any further.

That sounds nice, but it means that all reads and writes are serialized. You can't scale a system like this to, say, work for sign-up and retrieval of all Gmail users.

No I get that forcing alphanumeric is a very arbitrary decision that is far from natural to a large part of the world's population and normally I would advocate for everyone to adopt Unicode.

However UTF8 passwords is a recipe for disaster that I want no part of. Passwords should be random byte strings, not a random piece of human language. Now technically alphanumeric isn't quite the same as a random byte-string but it is the one subset of text for which you can be almost certain that it will always be represented by the same bytes (although I suspect someone will point out an exception).

Note that not only does Unicode have several different binary representations, but even a sequence of code points has 4 different canonicalizations, that I cannot guarantee will always remain the same.

I'm working on launching an online "journal" of sorts, focused on publishing short essays from people who don't ever publish if only because they don't have editorial support or a place for their writing to live. It would also serve as a writers group, a way to support and encourage people looking to improve their writing.

Topics: The aim is to hone in on commentary about books, reading, writing, and broadly speaking, thinking and self-knowledge. I also want to publish stuff that is more exploratory and suggestive than conclusive. Maybe each essay ends with questions? Less tech, more humanities. No ads on the site, can publish anonymously, simple design, good typography, all text. No frameworks or scripts or portals, just the basics needed for a great reading experience.

I don't know. Something like that. If this sounds interesting to anyone, would love to chat.
I hope they worked with a lawyer to craft that letter. As written, Russia could simply demand that they proxy all of their app’s network calls through a decrypting proxy that Russia can monitor. Saying “we can’t comply because an app we control is unfortunately designed by our own choices not to allow us to comply” is not a particularly strenuous obstacle for a government to demand they overcome.
>I'm not about to explain why I believe YouTube should officially oppose neo-Nazism

Why not? How is "things I want banned should be banned without explanation because I say so" a reasonable position?

>If there are left-leaning life-threatening lies being spread,

But you implied that you want the "far-right" to be silenced period, not only their lies. Why do capitalists need to be silenced even when they tell the truth and are not threatening anyone's life?

>but it's less clear-cut on the left/right spectrum than Nazism.

"Nazism" is fictional. It has no agenda, as it is an epithet applied to people that you dislike, who are not members sort of group, and have little in common. If you mean national socialism, that was not right wing, and I haven't seen any of these supposed "nazis" support any national socialist policies. When you can show me these supposed "nazis" demanding caps on corporate profits, employee profit sharing, stricter animal welfare laws, the expansion of parks and wildlife preserves, etc then I'll believe they are national socialists.

>YouTube should clearly ban those videos

Where's the line? Any muslim group recruiting people should be banned if they voice support for any muslim nation?
Congrats on the launch Matt. Great to see other independent software projects thriving like this. Keep up the hard work.
I’m not an Emacs dev so I’ll concede your expertise here - but if it is fundamental to the core navigation and redisplay, why does “stepping down” modes help so much? Fundamental and text mode certainly aren’t great with long lines, but are usually orders of magnitude better (eg a few seconds per command instead of 10s of seconds).

(I have not tried so-long-mode and am mostly on Emacs 26 with some 25.)

as long as auto commit is not enabled.

These goodies are possible, because of PostgreSQL's MVCC which requires running vacuum. Nothing is for free unfortunately.
> assume that passport chips are similar enough so that they would provide a similar signing rate per second. Making it probably the most egalitarian POW mechanism that could exist.

If you're going to base a system on this, you'd need to be prepared for the possibility of the government passport-issuing service switching to a different chip (different vendor, next gen design, etc.).

It might be equal now, but what happens if everyone who renews their passport suddenly starts getting different hardware? People could even realize what's going on and there might be a mad rush to renew passports.

Basically, when you piggyback on someone else's system, you add a variable you don't control.
I feel like Maslow's hierarchy of needs addresses why so many choose to work there.
How on Earth can you think that low-skill hourly workers in America have "little to lose" by jeopardizing their livelihoods? That's precisely what ensures that they have so much to lose. Maybe you or I can lose our jobs, survive on savings for a good while, and easily find another role; they can't.
That's disappointing. I knew it was a joke, of course. But I took it as an acknowledgement that he, like all of us, has irrational biases that we discover over time. I'm sorry to see that it was much less than that.

A worker has some control over their commute. That same worker cannot enact any control over security practices. We do compensate employees for commuting to somewhere other than their usual place of work.
Been using for around 2 years, not that long compared to some others.

I mainly study maths and also find Anki useful for learning things like vim shortcuts (Q: Move the cursor to the middle of the screen, A: 'M').

Getting the right level of depth in a maths card is tricky and I don't think I've completely figured it out yet. Too much information in a question or answer and it becomes a 1+ minute problem every time the card appears; but not enough information and it's hard to learn the hard stuff.

So I try and break the problem down into chunks to learn the detail, and also have cards for the higher-level intuition.
Pipline operator proposal: Moving ahead with the minimal proposal
We do not have enough collaborative spaces to accommodate this, so we end up having crucial conversations and impromptu problem-solving meetings out in open space, wrecking the productivity of everyone else who is trying to meet a deadline.
actually, i wouldn't be surprised if trump tries to go left of biden in a few key areas if only to try to win the next election. i think he's under immense pressure due to mishandling the pandemic - he's not polling well at all, not that that means everything - and i suspect he's not above wildly shaking up policy in order to pick up votes, esp. in the critical swing states.

his party isn't in a position to throw up a challenger so the Rs are stuck with him, from my point of view: if desperate enough, who knows what he'll try?

I saw a proposal recently that suggested the government mandate that existing loans (mortgages and business loans primarily) add the deferred period to the back of the loan, interest free. So if the lockdown is 3 months long, then your 72 month loan becomes a 75 month loan with an internal interest free 3-month period. This feels like a reasonable compromise to just nullifying the debts altogether, considering what an accounting nightmare that would be.

If you're fine paying a consistent 600 tax, just make the leap and give a reasonable xps machine running linux another chance.

My work machine is a 13" macbook pro on Catalina, my personal project machine is a 15" dell xps from 2017.

Of the two, I'm delighted by the XPS running Arch/Gnome/Wayland.

I'm much, MUCH less delighted by the Catalina crap box.

So far Fastmail has been quite good. My email address is ancient, so I get a ton of spam. (Over 99%, last I checked.) I see less spam with Fastmail than I did with my layered, carefully-tuned anti-spam filters.
I had a remote job for seven years, most of which I spent living in a couple of studio apartments, so - as you're experiencing - there was no way to separate work space from living space. In order to keep from having time become a blur, I had to develop some artificial rituals around beginning and especially ending the work day.

At one apartment I slept on a folding futon couch. I would "go to work" by folding it up and putting all the pillows away. Ta-da, now I'm "in the office", time to work. Done with work? Close the laptop, leave the apartment, walk around the block, maybe get a snack, come back home. Hey! I just came home from work, time to relax. Leaving the apartment and re-entering it, even if I was only gone a few minutes, was a really useful signal.

Later on I decided to strictly separate personal computing from work computing. No personal website logins on the work computer; no company code or email accouts on the personal computer. I also tried putting DNS blocks on my favorite recreational web sites on the work computer, so I'd be forced to swivel my chair around and use the personal computer. This way, I could carry on with email, browsing the web, and writing code on personal projects after work hours, using my personal machine, without feeling like I was still "at work" on my work machine.

I don't know what will work for you, but perhaps choosing to create some artificial barriers like these will help.
Reminds me of when a new ASIC chip is released. But yes, this could be an issue.
Same with the St. Louis facility, it is a marvel of working in the age of COVID. Trainees kept breaking the 6' mark so they installed physical barriers. Automated systems track social distancing and warn people. I have family at that facility and it sounds like an incredible place to work - especially in the age of COVID.
I love Hatcher's book so I can't disagree with you. (Although he does have a section on category theory in chapter 2, but never revisits it again). But doing anything with sheaves and schemes without categories would feel a lot like doing linear algebra without matrix notation and just using lots of double sums. I also have a copy of JP May's a Concise course in Algebraic Topology next to me and I also love the presentation there. (Although I would absolutely never want to use that book as a first course haha. Hatcher is a classic for a reason.)

Being slightly facetious here as obviously Griffiths and Harris uses sheaves extensively and no category theory.

Why should a worker who voluntarily accepts a contract be allowed to renege on that contract and suddenly have control of other people's property?
I'm older than you and have run the entire gamut of office types. Single office, shared office, cubicles, half cubicles and open office.

Open office is my favorite by far. I'm a programmer and I'm not easily distracted and I find the environment a lot more social and enjoyable.

My least favorite was the shared office and cubicle. I found offices isolating, but at least you had privacy unless you shared your office. Cubicles were the worst of both worlds, which is a lack of privacy but you're still isolated.
Plugin_debugger is availlable on postgresql.org's repo.

Previous generation MacBook Pro 13 with i5 1.4Ghz (2019) was 14% faster in single core at Cinebench 15 and 42% faster in multi core benchmark than 2020 MacBook Air i5.
Most important difference between these two processors is TDP, Air CPU is allowed to use only 10W and Pro is allowed up to 28W. Especially in sustained multicore usage the Pro has a lot of advantage, better cooling system too to get rid of the heat...

Sorry, that was hyperbole. But I am fully aware of what the NHS associated charities are, I don't need to look them up or read about them. Yes, in some cases they have been abused. In some cases I'm sure some percentages of the money raised here will each cause small financial abuses by an administrator of a trust which has been one of the beneficiaries. And I live in the north of England, you don't have to explain what the Tories are like, what they've done. But not everything is a conspiracy. It's a common thing to donate money to NHS charities. This went viral for really obvious reasons. There's a bad all over the government response to the crisis, but hey, let's make up a conspiracy theory and focus on that instead -- people are idiots aren't they, look at the idiots buying into this whereas you're so smart for realising that it's a conspiracy.
Unfamiliar Codebase
We have already sent robotic probes to the moon and brought back bits of soil [1]. We did so in the 20th century. There are certainly challenges to doing it with and without humans, but in my opinion, in today's world requiring much higher safety factors for human flight, a robotic mission is probably substantially easier.
