On mine (77.0.1) it finds the OP's "The German character ä" as well as yours. Conversely, searching for "The German character ä" finds the OP's original and your "a" version. There is a "match diacritics" button for enabling/disabling this behavior.
Smartphone Addiction, Technology Dependency: Science and Statistics
I will likely switch back. I'm not an avid gamer but there are a couple of titles I really care about - and I'm pretty sure at least one of them will never make whichever transition Apple will impose, having only barely survived the 32bit massacre.

The last few years have really felt like enduring Apple more than enjoying it. It's a shame, because OSX remains great, but there is only so much it can compensate for.

> Changing the demographic of the police forces to eradicate the choke hold of trigger happy white supremacists on it, will take decades. On the other hand, laws for police accountability and monitoring can be enacted faster, and help put the police system back into place in a format that is a bit more functional.

There's also the approach that Minneapolis appears to be taking, disbanding their police department. That works pretty much immediately.
Which is particularly egregious, since in actual braille, that is a whitespace character (specifically, a space with no dots in it represents the character... space! 0x20).
Because the police only exist to protect assets and asset holders. That's why they were established so don't be surprised when they don't protect and serve the people.
The recent signs are that in near-future Rust releases you are able to have rudimentary logic in constant expressions: if, match, loop etc. (Around Rust 1.47 ish. That's three months away.)

When the capabilities of the constant evaluation system get improved and stabilized, we are going to see the exact feature you are describing. (With the caveat that non-deterministic functions are not allowed to ensure deterministic builds.)
Not at launch, but coming.
How can a service be bother end-to-end encrypted and have what is effectively a wire-tap that allows for services like real-time transcription? Even if we assume the transcription service is part of an e2e call the operation of the transcriber would still need to generate logs or allow for improvement over time. I don't see how privacy and real-time transcripts are both possible at the same time.
You might not think of yourself as a creep, but your comment was indinstinguishable from that of a creep. To the young woman in question, you are just another dude who sees her as a sex object. It doesn't matter if you thought it was a joke; you're a part of the problem.

> I like to think I am not a creep, thanks.

Then don't fukkin act like one, genius.
Unfortunately, I think control of the Emoji code blocks by the Unicode Consortium stifles its potential.
Amperon // Better Google Cloud Build Notifications in Slack
Just as an extra note: there are manual testing steps (and automated end-to-end test, and internal alpha test, etc), independent of whether the diff was Piranha- or developer-authored, but all those happen for the continuous delivery internal version of the app, which is after the diff has been landed to master, but before a release is sent to app stores. We would count an issue discovered there as an outage having made past "our tests", even though it could well be caught before it gets to any external users.
Making DUI a liability thing is such a simple, clean and straightforward thing to do that I wish it worked.

But:
- for it to work people should estimate the risks correctly
- most people caught DUIing apparently are quite bad in understanding the risks involved

Hey.com actually has too many features for my personal taste. Not that I think the Unix philosophy is applicable everywhere, but this goes in the opposite direction entirely. The cumulative learning curve for all these features seems steep.
Why are you selling it as bootstrap is free?

As usual, completely baffling downvoting on HN.

I found this remark very appropriate. I didn't expect this from Gorsuch at all. If anything I would like this comment to be expanded (e.g. by adding context about the Federalist Society which I've never heard of)
The discussion on this issue for git for windows got really heated and then shut down. It looks like a massacre now (scroll all the way down to see the massacre):

There's actually a different term for that - assurance is to compensate for things which are known will happen (e.g. you will die, at some point), insurance is for things which you don't (you will die during the finite term of the policy).

So technically you bought life assurance.

Perhaps consumer products are playing fast and loose with the technical terms because everyone says they want "insurance".

Alito and Kavanaugh wrote dissenting opinions. Thomas joined with Alito's opinion.
You must be new to the politics of the current Supreme Court. A certain number will always lean away from progress.

EDIT: apparently some people think justices of the Supreme Court are "above" politics. Laughable, though they do an excellent job of covering with a lot of legalistic-sounding justification.
The Myth of the Blameless Retrospective
I'm not interested in the incessant self promotion of a single individual.

What software products have you written from scratch?

Or are you mostly talking and keeping your name in the press.
thanks for sharing this.
Want to learn more about this kind of things.
From https://www.wsj.com/articles/supreme-court-rules-for-gay-rig...:

> Title VII of the 1964 act broadly prohibits employers from discriminating against workers, including in hiring and firing decisions, based on an employee’s sex.

> The Trump administration argued that the 1964 law doesn’t cover LGBT workers.

There's a debate around whether "employee's sex" includes
"employee's sexual orientation."
> Nevertheless, my counter is: why does "the web" try to recreate existing technologies and operating systems?

Why not? Why is it so offensive to you? You know you can just ignore it and move on, right? You don't have to be an asshole and shit on everything you see.
Parent meant that it's not an arms-length transactional investment. It's meant to be a fiduciary service like an accountant or finacial advisor. They are supposed to make money by helping you and taking a percentage fee, not by tricking you or outsmarting you.
1-wire is a great technology for homebrew weather stations and environmental monitoring in general.

Once you get a 1-wire master, you can chain devices on a single cable (e.g. the ubiquitous DS18B20 temperature sensor). Digikey, Adafruit and Sparkfun have plenty of breakout boards and it's pretty easy to find code either bare metal (bit banging) or linux I2C

There's a pretty good intro book by Tim Bitson:
https://www.biblio.com/weather-toys-by-bitson-tim/work/56888...

And some interesting projects such as this 1-wire rain gauge:

The same could have happened with any ready-made framework. You'd still have to manually update 200 sites... :)

And even worse, a known vulnerability on a popular framework could have hit you harder.
Hey, looks pretty good - the hourly wind graphs are a primary chart for our local neighborhood here.

I'll have to see if the newer-model Ambient here can be pointed to PWS.
So, Trump gets the blame for appointing Kavanaugh, and not credit for appointing Gorsuch?
I think it's important to note that master has no relation to master/slave. It's master as in master copy or master key.

Because "Divert police funds" isn't as catchy. Just like "Black Lives Matter" doesn't imply "other lives don't" - when it comes to shorthand political phrases in America, it's best to look at what the common usage is.

(BTW some people actually do want to eliminate the police)

"Defund the police" in the 'mainstream' such as there is one, means to reduce funding for law enforcement and shift that funding to public health, social workers, and community programs, in a way that reduces the scope of calls police will get, and reduce the number of calls police are required to respond to.

Police Unions are not publicly funded, so defunding them doesn't make sense. Renegotiating collective bargaining agreements with unions does. "Smash Police Unions" has a nice ring to it.
I have always wished there was a platform where we could upload such videos and collect evidence on certain cases of police brutality. With the use of facial recognition software, it would also easily be possible to identify when the same cop is involved in multiple conflicts.
I use a calendar and email as two different applications. But I see the two have been tightly linked for decades. What is the workflow that demands this integration? Some clients will automatically create events from emails. But don't you get many more emails with dates in that you don't need to schedule for compared to the events you'll attend? Or there's the unified alerts when an important event is upcoming and when an important email arrives. But years ago we didn't have OS-level notification APIs like we do now. What am I overlooking that unified mail+calendar does that isn't available when they're separate?
Have you used Basecamp for any period of time? I'm excited about Hey because I think it will bring the organization and clarity to email that I have enjoyed in Basecamp for a long time.

So, in the meantime you will use light mode... against your own comfort?
HN should stay away from this garbage.

Most of these videos are carefully edited to show one side of the story. Others are stories sharing only their side of the story.

Protester brutality far exceeds police brutality. Criminal brutality faaar exceeds police brutality.
Yet the extremist leftists are calling to defund the police, which leads to complete chaos and anarchy.
Pathetic reasoning from a stone-age, low-IQ perspective.
>You could watch 100 videos of disgusting malpractices in restaurant kitchens and begin to think you should never eat in a restaurant again

Yeah there's no reason to make a fuzz about it. It becomes a bit different when the food and safety inspection routinely comes in and says yeah that's alright, keep going.

Perhaps not at a national level if there's no clear unison there but at least at a local level.
Like, for example it doesn't get to me much that Philip Brailsford killed a guy. I've been desensitized much by the internet. The fact that he was rehired to get a lifelong 2500$ a month tho gives a different message about accountability in that area.

Living there would make me look differently at the taxes I pay and make me fearfull and distrustfull of police.

Why do you pronounce it like that, though? I pronounce it like "geesh" or "guish" or "guiche" (not sure how to write it phonetically). It is just the Catalan word for "chalk".
Your first example was an abuse of insurance that crashed the economy, which says something about what should be.

Your last example is a contract of adhesion where the person setting the terms (and profiting from them on average) assumes responsibility for those terms.
The dominant school of originalists are the "public meaning" originalists. They hold that the original public meaning gives notice to the public about how to obey the law, where the original intent does not, since most people can't be expected to know what the intent was. Gorsuch is a leader of the public meaning approach.

Alexander vs. Sandoval
Thanks a lot! I’m fairly new to it so I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Firefox only gained that ability very recently in FF73 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202251), hence it's not yet in the current ESR. It does seem to have a toggle for turning it on/off, though.

Normalisation and - except for the soft-hyphen - ignoring of ignorable whitespace characters (ZWNJ, ZWJ, WJ etc.) on the other hand are still missing in Firefox (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640856).
I'd be surprised if that EO won't come up for judicial review before SCOTUS before too long. And it probably gets the same 6-3 treatment.
SpaceX Starlink internet prepares for beta users
Here's the decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/17-1618_hfci.pdf

The dissenters basically believe that “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” doesn't include "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" so legislation would need to be passed to change that.
I think you missed the point where it says she lied about the flights being delayed.

The Nanjing police announced on Friday afternoon, June 12, that Li had, on multiple occasions, faked information related to the delaying of flights, and scammed huge amounts of money from insurance companies.
> Google handout
> Federalist Society

They basically vet judges to serve as movement conservative activists on the Supreme Court. Looking for the "right" (and right-wing) stances, and complete absence of left-leaning progressive talk. Also kow-towing to corporate interests and displays of extreme loyalty to right-wing, corporate, "old boys", or evangelical thought are bonuses.
According to this: http://verdantlabs.com/politics_of_professions/

Overwhelming majority of software engineers are liberal/progressive. However HN seems to have rabid conservatives and also conservatives pretending to be independent with narrative of false equivalency.

I would pay to know the userbase of HN.
Consent is only required if there are no other valid reasons for the tracking.

Tracking required to provide a service for the user don’t require consent f.ex. So you could still get personalized ads from Amazon as service provided for you without needing explicit consent for the tracking as such.

Similarly “non-tracking” analytics don’t require consent either. If you by non-tracking mean more or less anonymous.

You only need consent to for processing PII that you don’t have a a legitimate interest to process.
I didn't vote but I'll venture to guess the comment's sort of cheer leading a cause / for / against various groups was the reason for the votes.

HN users tend to like things "distilled" a bit more, although maybe that's not the case and I just feel that way.
On Moving a 10-Year-Old Website to NextJS: Don't
I think this has to do with the fact that the groups you mentioned are not necessarily against anything LGBT. Perhaps classical conservatives, but I don't think that would fit Trump voters. There is a large faction of LGBT that hate the politicization of their issues.
No critical comments of these topics is allowed on this site. It's the only tool that is left.
GitHub abandons 'master' and 'slave' terms to avoid row
Do you mean lilypond instead of lilypad? As a developer I love lilypond because I can write sheet music using my regular development workflow.
Thank you for this angle. This may have changed, but when I studied EU Law about eight years ago, the Parliament didn’t actually pass laws (despite the name) — I believe this was reserved for the Commission, who are unelected. If that’s right, how can we know if the Commission members who worked on this actually had a grasp of the technologies? (Real question, not rhetorical).

Xcode for Windows would quickly end up like all software Apple makes for Windows: buggy, slow, lagging, and unloved. Not that it is much better as it is on Mac...
In my book "email done right" is using email addresses on your own domain.

Using @fastmail.com makes no sense to me. If being locked into somebody else's domain is acceptable, then Gmail is a better deal.

And if you still insist on using somebody else's domain, then all bets are off after you stop using that account. First of all because the service provider can always change their policies. Just like how when Yahoo announced in 2013 out of the blue that they'll start recycling usernames.

Fastmail is a paid service, you own that username for as long as you keep paying. The notion that you can take up resources, for free, for all eternity, is only sustainable for big companies like Google. And given how crowded @gmail.com is, I wouldn't put it past them to start recycling in a couple of years.

imagine an insider knows a product is going to tank, so she sells all of her shares before everyone else.

at that point of sale, the reality is the product sucks. but the market still reflects the price of a good product. so they know reality before everyone else, keep everyone else in fantasy, and trade at the fantasy price.

it further undermines the market bc no one will invest in companies who bail out with at the high price and leave them holding the bag. e.g. if someone asked me to buy 1k shares @ $100 each and i buy them: the product is a dud in R&D. the insiders all sell near the $100 price, the product is a dud in the market, share prices tanks to $30.

Next my "friend" asks me to invest I tell him to pound sand.
OMG, "The Screener" is something I've always wanted.
There's a lot to love about this.

Something I am nervous about is using a @hey.com email. Similarly to domain, it's a world-visible and sticky, but unlike domains, it isn't portable, the only options are: pay Basecamp forever, or lose access. gulp
From my layman’s view, they argued that the existing law did not cover sexual orientation, while the 6 argued that “on the basis of sex” does despite lawmakers making no mention of it in the bill.

That’s not such a wild stretch, but it is reading more into the law than was written or intended at the time, so peeling 2 textualists off is a bit surprising.
Based on this comment it's not clear how much experience you have with public sector unions generally or LEO contract negotiations specifically, or how public sector pensions typically work. Barring conviction of a crime (and sometimes even in spite of conviction, depending on the offense), your pension is generally set based on your hire date, and is a percentage of your salary based on the average over some period of time (last 3 years is pretty common). About half the time these pensions are exempt from municipal bankruptcies. It would take legislation to dismantle these pension systems that would almost certainly be litigated and spend years in court, during which time they would still have to be paid out.

They're not putting their financial future at risk.
Yeah, this has got me debating whether I need to bite the bullet and buy a high-spec 2019 model, despite their lingering, myriad problems. I have too much stuff to worry about in my day-to-day usage to gamble on whether Apple is going to stick the landing with this transition.
How do you know image size and percentage of white or transparent pixels without loading the image?

Fixing Rust Dependencies Vulnerabilities
Trump's intent was clear.
The downside is that due to a lack of serious competition, Let's Encrypt seems like an obvious choice, and thus it can be tempting to hardcode it.

I have a homebrew Internet-of-shit device that I know has LE hardcoded. I'll have to take it of the wall and reflash if I switch to a new CA (or potentially when some of the changes described by tialaramex happen - I think I hardcoded the new root but I'm not 100% sure).
Kavanaugh's separate dissent at 145.
It's worth reading the full dissent and majority opinion but its a textualist argument that the original legislation did not intend to include homosexuality and transgender in the Title VII law against sex discrimination and its not the courts job to legislate and that if these are to be included its congress' job to amend the laws to be more specific.
I suppose then I could organize a mob to vandalize anything I want because the police should prioritize the well being of the mob over that of property?

Seems like that would embolden mobs to destroy whatever they want. Doesn't seem like an intelligent or sustainable strategy.
No, I'm saying that others made it work while by all accounts the US has not. Unless it was designed to work exactly like that in which case all people have a far bigger problem.
Qualified Immunity just sets the default and is mostly a red herring (not that it shouldn't be addressed). A city could easily declare that an officer acted outside their explicit government duties when committing a crime. Furthermore, this could be straightforwardly clarified in their contract.

In general you're repeating talking points about fragments of what I said, while ignoring my substantive points. For instance, explaining QI doesn't address how the police have also been able to weasel out of criminal and administrative penalties - eg why haven't Breonna Taylor's killers been charged and put in jail, or at the very least quickly fired? There are obviously mundane procedural answers for these, but added up it's a very lopsided contract allowing the police to play Rambo with impunity.
The GP is saying that you shouldn't assume that insurance companies are playing the game of civil society (wherein everyone is expected to be ethical to one-another), when in fact they are playing the game of profit-maximizing (wherein everyone is expected to rip each-other off to the fullest extent of the letter of the law.)

See also: the tax code. An accountant is just someone who rips off the government for you, to stop the government ripping you off so much. Because that's the game that's being played, as agreed by all players.
