In Denver it seems that the day time protestors are older and more diverse (latino-american, african-american, etc) and the night time protestors are younger and more white-american looking to start trouble, though things are changing rapidly. [0]

There are confirmed reports of agitators that have been stopped before violence occurred, thank God. [0]

Last evening, Denver's PD chief marched with protestors and mostly allowed them to walk and shout well past curfew. I've not yet seen looting reports (though that may change), and the injuries to protestors and PD seem to have been much less as of now. Compared to other nights, it was successful.

Each city is different. Lumping people together nationally is not helping anyone discover what is happening locally.

Moskito is probably the closest thing that I've seen. We've done some custom wrappers using JMX and other things but with sidecars instead of directly integrated to Java.
Yes, you're right that this won't achieve real change. I truly like the idea of civilian oversight boards.

However, I think any meaningful change or even competent governance is of the table in the US until something is done about the broken and polarized two party system. Right now the two factions are about evenly matched and can hardly agree on anything. Until that changes the US will continue to have their most unproductive governments in their history.
Is this not standard everywhere self checkouts are used? All of the ones I've ever seen used scales and enforced the weight matching the scanned item. Of course, there are still possible cheats: not putting the item in the bagging area, for example, or telling the kiosk you are buying carrots and then weighing something more expensive.
Show HN: Fund the Rebuild
I made FundTheRebuild.com yesterday as a small way to help people and small businesses who are suffering in the wake of the riots going on throughout the US right now. It's designed to bring attention to the GoFundMe campaigns that don't go viral.

All the sorting options focus on campaigns with the least number of donations, most money remaining toward the goal, and so on. The list is still fairly small, so if you know of any other GoFundMe campaigns that should be on there, you can submit them at https://fundtherebuild.com/add.

I guess no. They don't even put order information in emails when items are in the delivery vehicle and determined to be delivered that day. You just see the price information, not the items. That feels indeed a bit inconvenient for me particularly when I ordered a couple of things and this order is split up in different deliveries.
My state government has adjacent billboards telling me to play the lottery (odds of winning, 1 in 7000000) on the basis that I'll be able to do really cool things with all that money, and that I should wear a mask and maintain distance from other people to stay safe from a virus (odds of contracting, 1 in 350, odds of dying, 1 in 7000).

Hello HN,

I'm Saradhi, taking care of the product and 60% of its development here at ExtractTable. We have launched the service with an HN post in Aug 2019. Today we are 700+ users strong, with over 17000+ free web demo conversions and 145000+ images and PDF pages processed combined through purchased credits.

Although we started to be a developer product, with the request from our premium user, we developed the addon, which I thought will be useful for non-developers and makes it easier for the companies with the workflow integrated to Google Spreadsheets.

Happy to take your feedback and questions.

Thank you.

I just don't understand how come there are so many pro-Microsoft comments lately justifying everything bad that they are doing. It feels like arguing with a pure-Microsoft IT department, everything good that happens in Windows is good and everything bad is user mistake and could have never happened.

PyCharm is an open-core editor. The FOSS edition is a second-class citizen. I make a
point not to run any proprietary software on my machine besides occasional
whitelisted JS, firmware, and patent-encumbered media codecs (which still have free
implementations).

Neovim's master branch has a built-in Language Server Protocol client and Treesitter
implementation, both of which have pre-made configs for Python development. Jumping
between symbols, viewing floating documentation/signatures/git-blame, asynchronous
completion, diagnostics, etc. are all readily available with a fraction of the
battery/CPU/memory usage on a fully-FOSS platform that works on even more platforms
(BSD, over SSH, etc). Jumping between symbols and listing usage of an object in a
project with hundreds of files has never been faster. All this starts up in
milliseconds. Being able to use an editor advanced enoguh for a large project but
lightweight enough to launch with a keybind just to write the HN comment is amazing.

Here are some screenshots of the LSP and treesitter in action:

A small taste of Treesitter's highlighting + navigation features:

Completion from the nvim-lsp source: https://i.imgur.com/CzAAJuC.png

Neovim also has FZF integration to fuzzy-search thousands of symbols, files,
reference, etc. Since it's the same FZF that I use everywhere else underneath, the
interface is quite familiar.

TLDR: Neovim is a lightweight text editor that integrates with external tools to
transform itself into an IDE.
> The forces still apply, they're just not shifting daily.

No, the forces are completely different. If we have an object on the surface of the earth that has enough mass to roughly produce the same nearby gravitational acceleration as that felt by the moon (which is minuscule and undetectable by most instruments), that object would not produce changes in ocean levels as we see with the moon. Again, the oceans are not rising/falling due to the moon's gravity pulling on them. It only happens because the moon is far enough away that its tiny gravitational acceleration on the earth is (1) felt everywhere on earth, and (2) felt everywhere on earth in slightly different amounts.

For a smaller, closer object (even with similar nearby gravitational acceleration), the tidal forces will not be the same because that gravitational acceleration will fall off to near zero in a very short distance.
Huh, thanks!
> software that's not frequently seen is flagged as a potential problem

Which means it’s not frequently seen, which means it’s flagged, which means it’s not frequently seen, which means...

One simple solution is don’t flag “not frequently seen” with the “interfere with installation” flag. Ditto developer certificates.

Does it open up a potential attack vector? Yes. But it removes an algorithmic, uncompromising, and artificial hurdle for independent developers, which is better for users IMO.

I asked a question that it seems you've answered with a question. This is the Internet, so the only real "rules" are related to the physical limitations of the hardware in use. As is demonstrated in the article, other rules are more subjective in nature.

Yes, there are things more dangerous than someone who views themselves as objective while sanctimoniously berating other people for having "biased" views. I can name a great many.

> You could type in a command to load something from a disk or run a program, or type a line number to start programming. How did that make sense to anyone??

But that makes perfect sense to me!

The commands you type in are, themselves, basic code. Line numbers just tell the computer to start storing those commands for later use. Chain them together and you have your own program, which you can save and load and run later.

I find it all aesthetically beautiful, actually.

The article makes it seem as if TruffleRuby is a Shopify project, where this GitHub repo seems to differ on that point: https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby. What's the deal?

I'm also very curious about how much TruffleRuby helps you save in infrastructure costs. It looks like Shopify is starting to put together serious systems around optimization of Ruby code.
I got home to find a package of microfiber cleaning cloths in one of my bags once. I have absolutely no idea how they got there. But I guess I 'stole' them. Was going to bring them back to the store but realized that would probably be super weird so I just kept them.

I've also walked out of Lowes with a couple dollars in random hardware in my pocket before. Went in for some screws so didn't grab a cart, decided to pick up some other stuff since I was there, and stuffed them in my pocket temporarily. Forgot about them during checkout. I actually went back and paid for those though because I felt like such an idiot about it.

> Giving up after a blatantly false counter-notice is a reasonable choice today, not to be discouraged.

I don't think it's that reasonable. If the counter-notice is so obviously wrong, then following through with a lawsuit probably stands a good chance of a default judgement in your favor, and a very good chance of a summary judgement in your favor. If every such case was pursued to final judgement or settlement, then we would quickly see this process provide effective deterrent to blatant copyright infringement.
Yes. Although the degree of "support" always depends on how much you pay for it :-) I doubt MongoDB is "supported" in the way most people understand that word.

From my point of view, RethinkDB is not regularly developed and improved. There is progress, but it's slow. Which is a pity, because it's a really good database, and one that tries really hard to be correct above all else.

The only other correct distributed database with strict serializable guarantees that I know of is FoundationDB, which nowhere near as easy to use as RethinkDB is (but it's somewhat easier with their document layer, which pretends to be MongoDB, just done right).
I've only ever owned iMacs when it comes to Apple. Recently, after a little research, I decided to spring for a used 2015 MacBook Pro 15''. Though there are conflicting opinions among Apple fans, many fondly remember this model as one of the last great models. With a quad-core i7 CPU, 1TB SSD drive and 16 GB of RAM, it still runs like a dream. The Retina screen makes everything look colorful and glossy. The keyboard predates the butterfly, so it is a joy to type on. Not to mention this model comes with an HDMI port, 2 USB-A ports, and an SD card reader.

I can probably run this thing for another 3-4 years until support ends - and even after that, I could keep on using it. No regrets so far.

“Unexpected item in bagging area”

They tried this. Was a disaster.
The value is in having everything speak a common standard. In unix, that 'standard' is lines of text, which is inherently linear and lacks the ability to idiomatically represent hierarchy.

Conceivably, one could use modern serialization formats or we could do something a bit more interesting, like supporting some notion of "objects" directly in the operating system or runtime (in the case of powershell, the "runtime" is the .net vm; in unix it's the OS).
Same, but with Ruby …

Actually had this idea years ago and toyed with hacking a ruby user space atop of Linux From Scratch – course I never went anywhere with the idea. Delighted someone's done it for python. Be cool if there was a Ruby version of snakeware :)
I think you nailed with your comment, I'm even more critical however.

His writing doesn't deliver in a chain of reasoning that you would expect in undergraduate argument papers. Despite their organization and polish the meat of argument is just not there.

As "internet/media analyst" he genuinely seems unaffected by the events of the last 8 years. It's disturing that there are people still out there with this bovine of an outlook. 2020 and techbro discovers redlining and racism were a thing for the last... Most of his essays are just the same way but in different topics.

It's also important to consider that drugs work by leveraging a particular mechanism in the body into increased action, creating chain-reactions that are fueled by vitamins and nutrients. As a result, sustained use of that drug (or even short-term use of drugs that act aggressively) would make relevant vitamin and nutrient levels trend towards depletion, among the other listed side effects of that drug. If you take any medications, a normal diet may not be enough to mitigate this.

It's fine that you're a coward, physically, emotionally, intellectually. Violence against a Natzi is fine in my book, and if people some generations ago were more apt, rather than less, towards preemptive violence against the Natzi, fascist ideologies, it may have saved many, many lives.

The Posse Comitatus act prohibits the military from operating within the US, except at the borders, and as provided by the Insurrection Act.

The Insurrection Act requires a State governor or legislature to request military assistance during an insurrection. The act also allows the president to act without that, if the State is not acting in a way that is protecting people's rights. This is why Bush could not deploy the National Guard during Katrina - the governor of the state refused to request the help, and it was not deemed to have come to a point where the president would impose the military anyway. The last time this act was used was during the Rodney King riots, where the governor of CA requested assistance.

This is a long way to say that we have made it difficult to deploy the military or use military force within the US. And for good reason.

So, why do we allow police departments to arm up and look/act like the military? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck - is it not a duck?

I get that there are circumstances where SWAT may be required, but why does every PD have a SWAT team? Why isn't it required that the governor authorize the use of SWAT in every case?

SWAT is now routinely used to perform dawn raids (no knock raids) on people who have no criminal record, and where no violence has been reported.

Controlling the equipment may be part of the solution, but it won't do any good unless the deployment of SWAT and other military style options are more carefully, judiciously, and transparently controlled.

But what the people with tear gas can get away with is partly determined by where public opinion is. And even if the laws about restricting police and military actions are often worthless, other laws matter. Like budgets, and procurement rules. Police can't fire tear gas if they can't buy it.

The logic here goes something like: The citizens are unhappy -> The unhappiness translates into different politicians -> Those politicians will de-fund what made the citizens unhappy.

That logic only works if you take politicians at their word. But politics is a sticky thing. It seems a game of musical chairs, where the last one sitting is voted out, but the rest are sitting pretty. And there are so many chairs to fill.

To be blunt: We don't have power. And the protests are merely a reflection of that fact. Why would the politicians do anything but tell us what we want to hear, and then continue to do the same things? There's no benefit, political or otherwise, in giving us what we want.

>> "I'm an author" or "Think of the publishers!" is no excuse for supporting unjust laws.

What is sad is most of the people that use that excuse do not believe copyright laws are draconian enough, they want STRONGER copyright laws for publishers, they want it to not only be civil but criminal, they want to put people in jail in a cage if you happen to share your favorite song with a friend.

In short, copyright maximalists are insane
