Russia (USSR) wasn't on the list, but I can recommend THE IRONY OF FATE (1976)

> The film is widely regarded as a classic piece of Russian popular culture and is traditionally broadcast in Russia and almost all former Soviet republics every New Year's Eve (Andrew Horton and Michael Brashinsky likened its status to that held by Frank Capra's 1946 It's a Wonderful Life in the United States as a holiday staple).

Yes, some compilers emit AVX move instructions on memcpy or compiler-generated moves (e.g. pass by value struct). (In addition to the rep move mentioned in the sibling posts)
When reading the title I figured it would explain something different to what the author does: when doing a organ transplant (except for the liver maybe) the organ is no longer usable to the donor.

Translatable to software, your reusable piece of code might not be so reusable as you think, missing lots of abstractions and having lots of specific code for just one specific consumer. Taking a piece of functionality from one part of your software and using it for something else might harm the original use due to broken API's, introduced complexity latency and failures, etc. Even ending up with having 2 split versions of your reusable component for each use case that you now have to maintain seperately.
The reason I use linux and perl (or sometimes bash) - it just works, I get the least number of surprises. Dependencies in perl are handled by my OS same as everything else, I don't need to maintain multiple package managers, I just bash out the script and move on

I don't write software as an end goal, I write software to accomplish my end goal.
> He was probably the most popular political leader of all the time.

Worth noting that their first major win was in response to the stock market crash, but his popularity really only soared after they took power and imposed censorship.

Free speech not such a virtue in Nazi Germany. Much easier to be popular when nobody is allowed to say anything against you.
> The latter of course even had "socialist" in the title

Ah yes and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is also democratic, please...
This is not true.

my Android phone warns me if an app is trying to use features that require permission while in background and asks me if I want to revoke the permissions, enable it only while the app is active or let it use it always.

pretty easy to use and anyone can guess that the bus or car sharing app doesn't need to use GPS all the time

When the controller is a "smart" app store, you know what they delete, but you don't know what they keep and why they do it.

they chose for you and never ask you if you're okay with it or not, so basically it's not your phone, it's their phone.
I wasn't able to reproduce this but I'm wondering if it could have to do with buffer flushing. puts may implicitly do whatever fflush(stdio) does. [1]

If the URL was https://myurl.com/some/thing/here I started seeing:

https://myurl.com/s

https://myurl.com/so

https://myurl.com/som

https://myurl.com/some

etc.

It took me a good 10 minutes to realize what was happening, especially since I was using a temp ngrok tunnel and no one should have had that URL.
It's been some decades since I watched Visitors, but isn't that basically a Czechoslovakian take on Doctor Who?
Unpopular speech is the only speech worth defending.
An article by Douglas Hofstadter, On Number Numbness, eloquently described these types of estimation problem and the inability of human to comprehend the scale of large number.

It was discussed on HN some time ago.

> Facebook intentionally made about 400,000 feel sad/depressed on purpose. They bragged that they had 'informed consent' to perform psychological experiments on all Facebook users simply because you joined the site and agreed to their long legalese T&C.

As a certified clinical research professional (CCRP), this is pretty outrageous to hear. Might be an interesting discussion for one of our upcoming glorified journal club roundtables. TY!
If the nuclear family model were sustainable and prone to growth then how did we get here?

Middle-class is an important economic segment of the population but it really seems like protecting the middle class was always more important than growing the middle class.

Economics and statistics are hard and I’m forgiving for the protestors making some illogical demands which may feel right but would have unforeseen consequences. But there must be a compromise here. We all can’t just continue to pretend that things are great and BLM wants to disrupt that just cause.

I’m almost 40 and progress has been agonizingly slow. I argue that the counterpoints which I hear or read against BLM are really just good old fashioned conservatism masquerading as logical rigour.
That seemed like the gist of it. I wasn't surprised that it was OCR'ing text, but I was floored that it recognized a URL and started firing off requests.

A drum is a good example, though we don't often think of it as a melodic instrument. The resonant modes of a drum don't look anything like someting as nice as those of strings, with their integer multiple frequencies. Makes you wonder, what music might have been like if our ear was more "drum-based" than "string-based" (however that might work).
"Software Entropy" sounds so much more scientific and general than "avoid stringly typed code"

BTW, "stringly typed" has been in use for exactly the behavior to avoid for maybe 10 years now

Michael was interviewed by Susan Lammers in her "Programmers at work" (Microsoft Press, 1986). They had a very funny, insightful conversation about music, films and tech. Very sad news indeed. My condolences to the family.
Yeah the problem is partly that both sides do not understand each other. I was hoping my analogy would help people understand the problem that facebook presents to some people. That way we can start to think beyond sweeping statements and start doing things to help those who need it.
Plus no commute leaves more free time in the evenings for exercise etc. Obviously not everyone will be doing that, but anecdotally a few people I've talked to from work are going for more walks & cycles etc.

Apples vs oranges. With iOS the norm seems to be that apps support 1 version back, if even that. So as soon as your device is no longer updated (or if you dislike the update!), you're stuck.

Android puts much more emphasis on backwards compatibility, with Google moving more and more functionality into app libraries rather than system frameworks. Our app still supports Android 4.4 (released in 2014!).
That's it. I'm switching to iOS. Android is like child's play when it comes to privacy compared to the features introduced just in this version of iOS. I'm sure I'll hate the lack of customizability but at least the privacy features are solid.
You might want to go ahead and inform those investors who bought Amazon or Booking.com stock in the early 2000s that their orders of magnitudes of returns were really no such thing.

You could always say "underground market". Just make sure there aren't any hobbits around.
> It's simple. Name one historical example where this strategy of systemic censorship of an ideology worked and didn't blow back.

It worked majority of the time. It typically stopped to work only when power to be ceased to have power.

Both nazism and communism were extremely successful in this. The monarchies did this successfully for very very long time. It ceased to work only when their lost power for unrelated reasons. Saudi Arabia is going strong.

The suppression of nazi ideology post WWII did not lead to blow back either.
Years ago. I mean, ostensibly, it is still about sharing photos. But originally, it was more about "I took a really nice photo of something in the world, and I'd like you to see it". Now most of the photos are selfies, or otherwise express the personality of the poster, and it isn't about "photography" per se.
Only Hollywood can make watchable movies.
Ok, this is very cool, but it looks like as of now it requires orders of magnitude more manual labor than existing agriculture. This means increase of produce price to about the same extent. Unless a huge paradigm shift will happen (which takes decades without a major disaster), I don't see this as feasible any time soon.
"Mosfilm" is a good search term and for more lighter and fun content is "Soyuzmultfilm", which is kind of the Russian Disney. Especially the older children series like Cheburashka are interesting and contemporary Masha and the Bear is immensely popular.
Yes, dependencies are a bit of a problem (I tried to use as few as possible in ccheck), but I'd say that the general culture of CPAN is to keep things long-term and prevent breakage, so my experience has been fairly good over the last 25 years. Something I can't say for node.js.
I like parcel tracking apps detecting a tracking number in clipboard
I'm pretty sure this is it. Changing the number of pointers shouldn't matter as they're already aligned but the string is an odd number of characters, which would change the offset of pretty much every other constant string and thus the performance of the respective lookups. They were probably just very lucky that it was aligned so well before removing it.

Ask HN: Should I buy Mac book Pro now or wait for ARM?
Long story short, I've a mac of 2015 (8gb ram). I've been waiting for that keyboard update. Now that there's the new keyboard they decided to change processor.

Thus, should I wait 1 year and get a new mac with ARM or it's better to get the intel one that will last for 3/4 years more?
what would be the problem with Intel based processor? that their life span is shorter since app will be compatible for a while, not for long.
The problme that I see for ARM based mac book will be that the first sets are for betatester with money :D

a bit of ref: I develop, and the mac that I own is a bit aged and slow.
PS: should I move to windows/linux and other manufaturer at this point? (I'm a bit skeptical due to the 10+ years on mac and all the apps/keystroke that I use)
I drive and maintain older mercs, and don't really give a shit about problems in the first 90 days, for me it's number of problems at 20 years. These surveys don't reveal anything about that.

I feel for the hard core automotive engineers who are forced to allow the monstrosity that is Bluetooth into their works of art.
The Rage Unifying Boomers and Gen Z
The choice of only allowing access to specific actual photos seems an unusual one.

I would have thought there was a big debate in Product Mgmt over this vs the more obvious allow an app access to a given album.

One presumes the sticking point came when someone took a photo out of an album. Does that mean they are explicitly removing access? I don't see it as a huge issue... maybe there is some kind of technical
hurdle involved as well, otherwise the choice seems unusual
I think you've simply found the "able-to-have-these-convos conservatives" to have these discussions with and haven't found the "able-to-have-these-convos liberals". Note that I hate using these categories. Anyway, in my personal experience almost all the people I can think of that I have deep political discussions with who may fall into the latter camp almost never discuss politics online, for various reasons.

> It started with an urge to delete Facebook around 3 years ago.

This. It's the same problem as when participants self-select into a study. They have different motivations than the average person.

I'm just making the point that if you are persuaded by this article to also get off FB (because it made his life better), you might be disappointed, because you weren't already dissatisfied with FB.
Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh the whole time reading this. The vast majority of these things are bullshit.

- portal detection is a plain GET request - no actual data is sent
- Google Analytics is used on Mozilla Web pages, not Firefox itself
- default search engines are meaningless, as you can pick which one to use and not even suggestions are requested without opt-in
- FHR I believe is still opt-in and also contains no PII
- Pocket does absolutely nothing unless you manually register and log in
- Auto updates are only on Mac and Windows, but if you're using either of those, you really can't complain here

That site is a good resource, but it is extremely exaggerating the situation - and that's not ok. Once you label Firefox as "spyware level HIGH", what do you call something like Windows 10? Firefox has a few opt-out points of telemetry that share no PII and aren't correlatable by design, whereas Windows 10 has no opt-out and automatically sends everything from local search queries to full binaries back to the mothership.

Saying everything is bad isn't helping anyone. We need to work on getting people off the things that actually violate their privacy (Windows, most Google products, FB, Web trackers...) and only then start working on improving the lesser offenders.
Can we have some numbers here?
Aren’t they just going to use the same defence that google, Facebook and others do, that they are just a platform and not responsible for the content users put on there?

I realise this may sound critical, but I’m not American and I’m genuinely interested to know if this defence wouldn’t work for Amazon.
Alibaba etc work just fine through the postal system without a local presence.

(Mind you, using them is pretty much explicitly waiving your protection in exchange for much lower prices)
"but only metals are able to conduct electricity"
This is incorrect.

Any substance that contains free electricity carriers will conduct electricity.
Examples of electrical conductors that are not metals:
1. Liquid electrolytes
2. Solid electrolytes
3. Semiconductors
4. Ionized gases
5. Vacuum in which electrons or ions have been injected by some means
All of the above are used in common devices.

The metals are solid or liquid electrical conductors which contain free electrons that are intrinsic, i.e. not produced by various methods, like in semiconductors.

Besides free electrons, metal have a second characteristic, which was used already in the 18th century to distinguish metals from semi-metals.

While this distinction is seldom mentioned nowadays, it remains useful. Metals have both free electrons and a crystal structure that allows plastic deformation (i.e. with high coordination number), while semi-metals have free electrons, but they have a crystal structure that does not allow plastic deformation, i.e. they are fragile. Examples of semi-metals: graphite, antimony, bismuth.
I don't agree with the point you're making at all here. OPs point is that if you attend a gathering with people you don't know, and that gathering turns out to be heavily represented by white supremacist groups, you are going to be labelled with it.

You're furiously defending an argument that you've made, which is exactly the point that is being made repeatedly in this thread, that's it's very difficult to have a discussion on many of these topics because the debate turns to this very quickly.
some of those companies don't really deserve to be trading.

i remember how back in my youth if i said something offensive against the government i would lose my job and be sent to a forced labour camp. that was during communism.

history keeps repeating itself.
That wouldn't help if they're generating ELF files as .rodata is a string table, meaning it's tightly packed and as far as I know neither clang nor gcc pads it.
ITP blocks analytics that have cross-domain tracking abilities, not "all analytics".
No, not exactly. I learnt JavaScript in the very early days, when we called it "Dynamic HTML". I mostly built very raw non-frameworked sites until a couple of years ago. I actually found learning Vue (~2 years ago) kind of difficult because of how inside out everything was, and I was still trying to picture what click handlers were being attached where, etc etc.

I was halfway through building a site when I switched to Vue. It ended up reducing the number of lines of code by 30-40%, and made the interactions much simpler to reason about.

Now that I know Vue, I think it's a vastly better way to develop than without it.
This sounds like some crappy grafiti slogan.
Proxying isn't hard to implement but in the erlang Raft implementation, Ra we decided only to do it when the client explicitly declares that it does not care about ordering. When proxying it is always possible that the client will find out the current leader whilst the proxied request is in flight. This may be more of a problem inside erlang where it is easy to address any processes within the erlang cluster.
I see what you mean with the copying. I just thought based on OPs comments there would have been a strong correspondence between lambda calculus numbers (Church encoding) and the operations on them, and actual type-linear functions.
Sorry for not checking regularly the code of conduct. It still appears that the importance of this motto has been reduced:

I know they are foundations of mathematics. They are elements of mathematical logic. No disagreement on this.

But how they are not mathematics? They are part of mathematical logic and mathematical logic or logic in general is branch of mathematics. Do you want to say they are somehow separated from math?
Wow thanks :) I had not come across this idea before! I've thought about this before, but not directly. I feel it is an excellent way to think about what our internet services could be if they were not the product of a hyper-capitalist culture.

As a side note, and relevant to what I am working on, MakeCode and Scratch are very good at encouraging coders to fall into the pit of success. I find it quite difficult to find a real program breaking bug in MakeCode scripts for the Micro:bit. Which helps make it excellent as a teaching tool because you can focus on things that will engage younger learners in coding and engineering.
Agreed. At least, I don't see anything (other than visual complexity in their UI/UX) that sets them above Airtable.

Good try though.
I guess so. Fortunately, none of my clients are in those kinds of businesses.

Which is sort of a weird point. So much of the web development blogosphere assumes that the reader is working on a site that sells some product direct to the public, who are very fickle, and will abandon your site quickly. Undoubtedly that industry does exist, but I've just never been anywhere near it.
everything you quoted is... objectively true
Facebook is free. It is understood that we provide clues about ourselves for advertisers as a way to keep it free. Facebook is convenient. You're seriously suggesting in 2020 that my nieces and nephews correspond with me by letter? That's pretty hilarious actually. I can't move closer because I can't be in 10 locations at once. My family gets along. We agree not to talk about politics. It works for us. I'm sorry about your family.
FWIW I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences doing that

Sounds like something that had a huge impact on a terrible system in the world that most people aren’t aware of.

If you feel comfortable, can you tell us a little bit about it here?
> how can we share out most wonderful and beautiful ideas with each other

The trick is to create channels with limited audiences, where you can set an expectation of which ideas are acceptable and which are not.*

It always has been, but the the arrival of new communication methods has disrupted the traditional channels, and now every idea is propagated to a much larger and looser audience, which aren't aware or don't share the expectations of the sender.

We need to rebuild the architecture of communication channels around this principle of limited audiences sharing a common understanding, and reshape the current "free" massive communication tools so that they respect this principle instead of exploiting the benefits of popularising aggressive messages for their shock value.

This compartmentalisation of channels would do much more for freedom of expression than the current "everyone gets a distorted and contextless version of the original message and can have their say".

* By the way, this is the reason why explicit Codes of Conduct are a good thing for online projects. Without them, you simply get a default implicit code of conduct based on the expectations of the dominant group; which is not a good solution for people coming from any other group.
> One word of warning about this approach: it becomes one in a set of red flags about you if you are ever being investigated by any entity at the national level. Not having a facebook is viewed as an outlier...

Isn't that all the more reason to do it, though? The more people who delete it or don't have accounts, the more normalized it will become to not have social media profiles.
There are 12 semitones in an octave because western scales are based on the mathematical coincidence that 1.5^12 ~= 2^7

Because of consonance/dissonance, on most of our instruments, some of these 12 notes sound better in combination than others.

Imagine you ran a clustering analysis to group the ones that sound better together and ended up with two clusters, a cluster of 5 and a cluster of 7.

The cluster of 7 gives us the name "octave" as musicians double-count the first note when it is repeated at 2x the frequency at the top end of the scale.

Ha! There is nothing illegal about an underground market. And the real issue is: if any use of terminology can get you blacklisted (another potential faux pas) then you end up not being able to say anything. At a certain point, all language becomes not viable because anything could potentially cause offense, so as a result, you just stop talking... even though you're trying to save slaves.
I think the problem is, it's easy enough to glue to Airtable (lovely API), and the other problem is I'm not sure how you'd generalise the power of Lambdas to a consumer, for whatever this Honeycode thing is.
