This can actually be a blessing in disguise for him as long as he sticks to 'put it in writing'. Here's what will happen: some won't write and won't ask again because they have no clue how to put what they want in writing.Some will write some incomprehensible thing and it will require 20 more emails to find out that all they want is Comic Sans in Word and etc. Also it will tame some 'motivated ones',who could go on for hours about what they would want.
Oh heck, I've seen pics of the PT minivan back in the 90s, in the stash of either ‘Tech for the Youth’ or ‘Science and Life’. Its look has stuck with me as the embodiment of Soviet retrofuturism, which is what I actually remember as daring Soviet tech design.

I kept wondering a bit if RAF-2203 took some cues from the PT. Other RAF minivans seem to be obviously inspired by VW Type 2.
That's wrong. They have the right to fact check. They simply might not have section 230 immunity with respect to the fact check because that is self-generated content.

They still enjoy immunity with respect to user-posted content, because that is part of the explicit language of the statute and a Presidential Order can't override statutory language.
What about the tongue? After reading something strange in a book about meditation, where it said I should keep my tongue at the roof of my mouth, I got curious. Actually I was baffled because I couldn't do it. I literally could not keep a significant part of my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth without significant effort and actually strain. I did a survey between my friends and only one of them (my brother) actually kept the tongue in the described position naturally. Surprisingly (this is highly anecdotal, but still interesting) he's the only person that I know that doesn't have any teeth issues - only once he'd visited a dentist with a small cavity.
This got me researching and there's actually a British orthodontist (Dr. Mike Mew) who actively pushes the idea that we should keep our tongue at the roof of our mouth and that it's actually our natural tongue position that _would_ develop if we kept our ancestral dietary habits, e.g. chewing hard foods like meat from since we were little.
I don't think it holds up to say that because the internet is not a scare natural resource, rules have to be updated as situations evolve in multiple areas.
Doesn't really answer the core part of the question - how did you fish out the funny ones?

It's not carb-rich diets, it's processed carbohydrates. Every culture on earth eats predominately carbohydrates, with a very small few exceptions like Inuit or some peoples in Africa. Asia has mostly rice, Africa various roots, South/North America it was corn, etc. Humans are (loosely) starch-ivores
Guido’s original plan for Python 3 included removing lambda (along with reduce, filter and map) from the language.

Posts like this, projects like these, and people like Neozeed are part of why I think the GNU project fundamentally is brilliant.

Getting GCC running on barely-produced prototype hardware system, on an ancient version of Solaris which itself was a particular pain to install, whilst entertaining and informing the reader about the history of the PowerPC migration circa 1994, is no mean feat.

What were the desirable/sexy features of OpenFirmware anyway? I remember typing occasional commands into it on old Macs (especially a Beige G3 running Mac OS 9 and, later, with varying degrees of grumpiness, OS X), mostly with the fear of god of bricking my system.

There was also that separate "crash" shell you could bring up once the machine had booted with a magic key combination involving the power button, and pressing something like 'R' would reboot it. I wish Apple was a bit more open about these programming interfaces – a bit like Solaris.
LyX exists. It is used only by a small minority of physicists even though it's been around for 25 years.
This is actually what got me into flossing daily. I also think dentists doing this to patients, that is flossing their teeth and then having them sniff the floss, would be a lot more effective than simply telling people they should floss.
My dream is that someone will create genetically engineered bacteria that would out compete the existing bacteria in a persons mouth thus solving at least one of the problems.
Yeah but mentioned Begg and doesn't mention Price. Begg advocated for mechanical intervention, Price advocated for nutritional intervention. Only mentioning Begg presents a biased view on possible therapies.
There are reactor simulators, but the ones I've seen use ordinary GUIs. I haven't seen any that tried to be visually accurate.
> In other words, if the virus spread to everyone in the US this year, we'd expect to see 2 normal years worth of deaths this year.

No again, as I've argued, you just can't use averages across the whole countries to estimate individual increase of risk so simple as you suggest, as your statement was

"on the individual level, it's about the same risk of death as you face over a normal year."

Everybody knows his own risk, and it's surely not "2 normal years" for most of the people. I've given the examples for somebody who is young but not suicidal, for somebody who is young, fit and with diabetes, for somebody who is fit but older etc. What you argue is plainly wrong calculation:

According to your logic, if the average number of children per grown up person in my country is 1.2 I should personally have 1.2 child. It doesn't work that way. In reality, one person knows that he will never have children, another that she will have 2 etc.

Edit: responding to the reply below this writing: "What I see people saying" .. "That every single person in the country should live a life of isolation for the next year to minimize the chances they get the coronavirus." -- who is claiming that and where actually? And even if you "see that" somewhere (not on HN I'd guess) it doesn't change the fact that you claimed an "individual risk" of "2 years" for practically everybody, which is, as I believed I've proven up to now, obviously wrong.
I agree! A great thing would be chew toys for kids. Probably a nice business. I mean, the core of this is that teeth are strengthened by exercise (and fluoride).

Huge benefits, and cheap in the long term.

Always been a side business I have been intrigued by, but never saw a way that I brought enough to this particular table to start it.

I waited a week and a half with no reply/response from anyone... It was the third email a few weeks after that finally got a dismissive response. This was around 2004 iirc, not sure if it's changed significantly since, or when your experience is related or where/what you were interviewing for.
I think there should be a serious look at whether dental industry is preventing these treatments from seeing the light, or at least quietly and deliberately ignoring them. Xylitol has almost definite benefits but most dentists have never heard of it.

I wonder how upset free speech advocates will be about an executive order that trumpets free speech but is intended to punish twitter for exercising free speech?

Twitter responded to a message from authority by adding their own, dissenting message, not censoring the first message.

I guess this kind of double-speak is what we can expect now.
Is the problem not precisely that there are very apparent and relevant conflicts between these points? Reconciling free speech with "offer[ing a] safe, welcoming platforms for users" is exactly what's at play here when it comes to TOS and deleting content.

> "Rather than resort to censorship, social media companies can offer users tools that block unwanted content, including content that could be hurtful or offensive."

I think this is an interesting idea, but I think it would effectively mean de facto speech censorship like HN has with flagged/dead comments. Sure they exist, but most users don't have them on, and the larger the forum, the more annoying having them on will be. Given the amount of spam/hate comments on Twitter, no sane user would ever turn that feature on. So you end up right back where we are now, only by technicality they aren't censored. I suppose a positive, but then it gets right back into editorialization arguments re what content is flagged or "blocked".

> Social media companies must act to prevent this type of conduct.

Even if most can agree here, this doesn't appear to lay out concrete policies, nor does anyone appear to have any proposed that align with these main points that I know of. I didn't watch the media specifically so if you have any detail on those specifics or any concrete recommendations they make, a summary would be very much appreciated.
They already do train them like the military. In fact, since Obama, they've also been arming them as the military as well, not only with M4's and Barrett 50's, also with up armor MRAPS and hummers. That's not including other tactical wartime gear such as stingrays etc.

Train The cops as soldiers, don't be surprised when cops act as soldiers.

I realize that as we've been millennialing our military into occupying and policing, but make no mistake that's not what they're for. And it's the same issue with cops.
> If you show up at the polls to intimidate voters you get arrested.

Yes, if this is consistently and fairly enforced, I agree - only doubting that it is because I honestly don't know, and hopefully never have to find out firsthand.

> many of the voting machine vulnerabilities are as a result of submitting specially crafted ballots

Yeah, fair enough. I don't know enough about the vulnerabilities, but if this is the case, I agree.
What's wrong with having the functions stateless and just passing the state in as a parameter? OOP does exactly this behind the scenes.

OK, now where's the .PDF of individual confirmed cases of in-person vote fraud versus vote-by-mail fraud? We can't compare fractions by their numerators, you know.

The document itself admits that it is "only a sampling," which, in the absence of further methodological detail, should raise their hairs on the back of your neck.

Nobody ever said that vote-by-mail is fraud proof, only that it's good enough. Which it indisputably is, at least as implemented here in Washington state.
1. That link is broken.

2. What was drafted last summer was legislation. Legislation that would likely not stand up to political or legal resistance. This is an executive order to make an end-run around all that "bureaucracy".

> has little to do with the recent twitter news.

This fails the plausibility test. This came hot on the heels of this incident, Trump _said_ it was related to this incident, and that he'd be doing this as result, and the last several years are packed with a multitude of examples of exactly that: Trump knee-jerking an angry response (words, actions, both) to those who he deems to have slighted him.
If by "consistent" you mean "looks like garbage on some platforms", then yes, it's possible: https://medium.com/@ValidScience/two-mysterious-web-font-bug...

Web font bugs show up in the weirdest places. Unless you're constantly vigilant and manually test across all the platforms you want to support, some users will see crappy fonts. Hardly anybody goes looking for these bugs, so the bad fonts can be shipped in production for years without anybody at the company noticing. This is what has happened at Apple, Wired, and Medium.

Not that consistency is worth striving for. There's not much consistent about what you can show on both a 6" 4K OLED and a 15" 1366x768 TFT LCD. Certain fonts will look great on the former and be borderline-unreadable on the latter.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it Twitters first amendment right to respond to Trump's tweets? Does not seem like this is censorship to me.
Price observed that the great majority of traditional diets were high in animal fats. He theorized that vitamin K, which is mostly acquired from animal fat, was the key health-promoting factor. Humans are more likely facultative carnivores than grain-eaters.
You don’t ignore people who come to talk to you. You tell them politely that you are focused on a task, and to wait until you are free. Over time people learn to send you a message first to coordinate when you are free to talk.

At the company I work for, the norm at the office is to always ask first “is this a good time to discuss X?”. Not even the CTO gets a free pass to interrupt engineers. Actually he was one of the people who coached me to prioritize my focus first and to learn to say “No”.
Yes and No, mostly yes:

On publisher origin, the plan-of-record does not involve any validation of the contents of the AMP javascript files. When an AMP Cache (eg: Google) crawls one of these AMP documents, the same is true - the contents of the javascript files will not be relevant to the decision of whether or not the document is considered valid AMP. The files will likely not even be crawled by the Cache.

However, when the AMP Cache serves one of these files, it will rewrite them to the latest* version for serving to users. This is necessary since the javascript runs in a somewhat privileged context in search results.

https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/25873

* There is also a mechanism for publishers to opt-in documents to a "Long-Term Stable" release, rather than the latest evergreen version: https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/learn/spe...

Lastly, and there is still some discussion around this, it is likely that Signed Exchanges may be able to load the publisher's own version of the javascript in the future, even in search results. This is because the execution context of the javascript is different for Signed Exchanges.
I agree completely. Reading these responses, there's a lot of negativity to communicating with your manager. While I've been in times that I completely understand this, I chose my latest job purely on manager. It pays less and I couldn't be happier. He was innovative in using a shared Google doc that gets updated with tasks, goals, and progress by both of us daily. We meet officially on a schedule once a week, but often chat in the interim. Personally, I use the Google doc as my running, living Todo list. It helps keeps thoughts organized, and my manager sees a lot more than he ever could in a daily stand up. Sometimes, here's even able to proactively assist. Which, if you work hard, is an excellent thing. My manager and I would never hang out as friends, but we're both fascinated by technology and business culture and speak on it often. Worry more about positive relationship than specific method, I'd say. And if you hate your manager, job search on primarily that criteria and take a job your want with enthusiasm even if it pays less. You can't quantify peace in dollars.
It would probably results in a mass exodus of discussion on the internet as every single platform from Twitter to niche forums on obscure topics suddenly were not allowed to perform any sort of moderation without incurring legal liability. Thus the decision to abandon the discussion venue or watch it descent into something resembling the toxic cesspools seen in places like 8chan.

You're not going to write microcontroller firmware in Go, but several people are doing just that in Rust, and it actually works quite well.

Philosophy aside, in actual use Go is a better Java, not a better C.

If your C program could have been a Java program, then go ahead and use Go. But lots of C and C++ programmers who consider Rust and decline to consider Go do so because the trade-offs that Go makes (garbage collection, error handling ergonomics, generics, etc.) really aren't that appealing. Not everybody is writing web servers for big-iron Google servers.
Since they do not alter the content of the tweet itself in any way, and since "fact check" link itself does not express an opinion (eg: it just says "get the facts" as opposed to "potentially misleading") then it seems extremely hard to arge that it's editorialising of the tweet. If the fact check page contains very opinionated content written by Twitter employees then it might bring it closer into consideration, but if the fact check page factually summarises and cites external sources again it is hard to argue.
When you say, "I am opposed to the idea of universal health care", does that mean you believe some people shouldn't have health care?
I have never been promoted at a job and my longest tenure was 3 years right out of university. I've gotten a 10%-50% increase in every job I've taken when I've jumped ship.

Staying in the same job for longer than it takes you to learn how to do it is career suicide.
> it's clearly a dumb idea, why does everyone pretend it's not and engage in deep consideration of it?

I've learned that Trump is an incredibly dull instrument, but the points he raises (when you get past the verbal diarrhea) tend to be things that some significant fraction of his "base" care about or that are not actually novel policy ideas. "The wall" as he describes it is dumb. But it has existed in some form since the 1990s (albeit only segments) and the way he describes it is a simple symbol for people that tend not to know how to "solve" problems related to (illegal?) immigration.

Most average people don't care about policy details so they don't know how to argue them to "win the argument". Trump gives them a sports team to cheer for and simple slogans to shout so they feel like they are participating.

> when it is painfully obvious that the only reasoning by the president is "they messed with me so I'm going to get revenge".

The problems that Trump has with social media companies go back far more than 2 days and a fact checking link. His Attorney Generals (both Barr and Sessions) have been working with Republican state Attorneys General for years to craft a response to what they see is "liberal Silicon Valley techies banning (or shadowbanning or remonetizing or ...) conservative voices". Trump doesn't see a downside to taking this action.

The interesting thing is that there are far more than just political American conservatives that want to see regulation of {YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc}. Elizabeth Warren wrote a detailed essay on medium.com about why they should be more strictly regulated. A crazy YouTuber from San Diego got so pissed at YouTube for banning her account or demonetizing her channel that she drove up to San Bruno (not sure exactly which city/location) and shot up the building. There are quite a few stories of vague ToS being enforced in a not-so-predictable manner which leaves end users with banned accounts (which may be the nexus to more important accounts like email accounts).

It's important to note that all the PHP results that are high up on the lists are using Workerman[1] with the event module, Swoole[2] or ngx_php[3]. They don't use the traditional PHP runtime model, which boots up and tears down the world for every request. Global variables, which are no problem in "normal" PHP code, are going to cause serious trouble in these environments. They are essentially gluing a very fast async IO framework to a fairly minimal amount of PHP application code.

The vast, vast majority of PHP code you will find in the wild is running a more traditional stack, and those results are much lower down the list.

The results are still impressive though. PHP is very good at gluing fast C code together without slowing it down much. Especially Workerman is impressive, since it appears to still run a significant amount of PHP code.

This is lazy thinking. Telling yourself that the other side is evil is a short-cut for the incurious.
Then perhaps let us debate that in a reasoned and considered manner, rather than an executive order that Trump himself describe as a lashing out at Twitter.
Different indigenous peoples ate very different diets, from zero carb to mostly carb, but each group ate a smaller variety of foods because they were constrained by their geography. Most diets were high in animal fats though, and even the ones that were high in carbohydrate had adequate amounts of animal fat in the form of cheese and (raw, whole) milk.
There is also an easy way to not prioritize people at the office. You tell them in a polite manner that what you are doing is a bigger priority and requires your attention. Over time people learn to coordinate discussions when you are free to talk. It is part of learning to say “No”.
> I never had any issues with performance (with hardware acceleration). May be on extremely weak laptops it might cause issues, but Android Studio probably will be unusable there at all.

I have to use MacBook 13 (2019) in my current project, and it's having troubles with the emulator. Not sure if it's about the hardware or macOS inefficiencies, but I can't wait to get back to my Linux desktop where the emulator is buttery smooth, almost feels like a part of the system itself.
Yeah, the AppGet/WinGet fiasco is disappointing to say the least.

I think MS is mostly trying to ensure cohesion between the tooling and their Azure platforms/services. This is their longer term strategy... which has largely moved Directory services and Office to subscriptions models, and shoring up the losses of Windows Server deployments with rented servers on their infrastructure being the least friction and a revenue source moving forward.
Here’s the cdc estimates used for modelling.

Very likely, that our 'wrongs' greatly outweigh our 'rights'. However, we tend to only remember those times we got it 'right'.

With true randomness, we'd expect that we'd be 'right' about as often as we get things 'wrong'.
