> This, of course, is not what he actually said

This is false, unless you're contesting he did not literally write "we should use the military to suppress political dissent" in that exact sequence of words.

I cannot figure out whether you don't think deploying troops in cities under the Insurrection Act counts as "using the military," whether stopping the protests is not "suppression," or whether you're suggesting the protests should not be defined as "political dissent." All these things are false.

The relevant Orwell quote would seem to be "To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle."
I would agree, with the caveat of "all else being equal". There is a danger in ignoring vast socioeconomic divides that can put people at a disadvantage that can make things more difficult for certain demographics.
Does it also support managed cloud offerings such as EMR ?
It's almost like different people have different ideas of what are acceptable negatives to trade-off for various positive benefits.
When viewing people's stories all at once I feel like I get semi-NSFW ads in between every person's story, which makes me want to just leave the app.
> I suddenly find myself wondering if the path to reform for H1B could be short duration combine with some kind of fast-track naturalization. Does it even make sense for the transactional H1B to be so long term?

I agree, but I think you mean permanent residency. Naturalization is the step after that.

The H1B should really be a kind of temporary defined-term green card that can be used with any employer (or none), with a quick path to a green card for anyone who can prove consistent employability.

I think an initial sponsorship is fine, but tying the visa to the sponsorship is really only beneficial to the employer. If they have a true need to sponsor an immigrant, they shouldn't have any problem keeping their offer attractive enough that retention shouldn't be a problem.
Depends on what you call open and what the 'opposite' you refer to is.

Open as in 'welcoming to users'? Open as in 'it has hinges on the device that open'? Open means many things.

If you refer to Open Source in terms of the OSI, then no, macOS is not that kind of open. It's also not entirely closed as there is plenty of 1-to-1 source code available, also under OSI-approved licenses (but not all of it).

If you refer to Open in terms to 'the ability to add and remove at least some components so you can do your work', then macOS is plenty open. Want to get rid of Pages and install Microsoft Word? No problem.
Why doesn't that argument apply to the mainline kernel?
Thanks, I always forget that Apple uses reverse capitalization.
Yeah, that looks weird. I'd like to hear the rationale
(number of uninfected that need to be infected to achieve herd immunity) * (case fatality rate) = future deaths

With the assumption that every vaccinated person counts towards herd immunity and isn't likely to die, you can plug in your own numbers to the equation above. Even with really conservative estimates, it's easy* to get into the millions when you consider the entire planet.

*Barring some highly effective treatments that may or may not surface.
I feel like they probably always report them but lie about the circumstances and say the shooting was justified.
As someone who has been moved his DnD sessions to Discord with COVID going on, and has made a "shareable map" out of Google Sheets, this looks fantastic!
No they do not. They (as some would maybe not expect) even use Oracle software as backend for some systems. But not macOS. Unless you count developer workstations and things like Xcode build servers or their ASD replacement.
You're complaining about proprietary tools in advocacy of Apple? Developing on Windows is a breeze. Unless you're specifically talking about Microsoft's dev stack (ie Visual Studio).
Just for kicks and giggles, I threw in some rather obscure words to see what would happen. It's been compressing for a few minutes and showing no sign of progress. Cool project!
RHEL maintains a KABI to support binary device drivers. Given how frequently the linux kernel changes internal APIs, this would be much harder or even impossible if they changed kernel versions regularly.

Instead, they take features and bugfixes from upstream and merge them back into their kernel version, auditing them for changes that would not be binary compatible.
Tip to surviving Facebook: If you must go through your feed, immediately start "hiding" toxic/hateful individuals that post nothing but bad content. If an individual only sometimes does so, start hiding their sources. E.g. If you see some friend that happens to post bad stuff from CNN or Breitbart and the content from that source upsets you but you want to see that friend's other content, then hide the page they're "sharing" from.

Most of the time, people don't post original links/content, so it's a "share" from an existing page that you can hide.
Yeah once we go back to an actual table (2021?) this will be amazing. I can see using this to sketch out a dungeon before breaking down into smaller maps in DungeonDraft for VTT.
Thirded. Black Swan and Fooled cover a lot of material. I don't think there were any huge additions in thought or context in Bed of Procrustes, though there some clever aphorisms.
Hi HN!

I'm Alex, one of the creators of tunnelto.dev. We built this service because it's crucial to be able to test your website, app, or backend server as if it were in production. We built tunnelto.dev is both a free service (hosted by us) and an open source project (that you can host yourself). Both the tunnelto.dev CLI and server are open source on GitHub[1], built in Rust.

Since you can host it yourself, there's no vendor lock-in...perfect for use in the enterprise when you can't breach the corporate network. Tunnelto.dev is free even with customized sub-domains. We only charge a small monthly fee if you want to reserve specific domains for yourself on our hosted version.

Happy to answer any questions you might have!

That's a very silly anecdote when so many people in the past 2 years had the keyboards on their $2000+ Macbook Pros break within a year.

And it's an HP, we all know they are terrible.
Exactly, if we want to achieve herd immunity then increasing the number of infected is a goal we want to achieve, keeping hospitalization levels steady is needed to not increase the amount of death (covid related or not).
I am really curious what will happen to applications like Steam and similar. Will the Mac suddenly find itself in the same restrictions as the iOS App store? Will there even be a separate Mac App Store?

Steam allows for users to apply activation keys paid for outside the client, normally these are sold directly by the game developer but can be the result of a give away. Can that happen in the current App store?

The promises of better performance and all are nice but I am waiting to see if the walls come with it and will Apple pass the savings on to the consumer or lay claim to the increased performance as the reason prices stay the same or get higher.

For what it's worth, I love the visual design of your site. It's stylish, distinct, straight-forward, and communicates purpose/process well.
author of Lucky here. Would love to hear what you don't like about Lucky's ORM (Avram). It is not quite as feature complete as ActiveRecord, but in some ways it has more features (like being able to do more advanced queries in Crystal `>`, `ILIKE`, etc.
It's counting characters, so it is comparable.

This is useful for applications that limit the number of characters, e.g. Twitter.

we built it in rust and open sourced the server so you can host it yourself (when you need to!)
When the total number of positive tests and the percentage of tests that are positive both rise, that implies that the issue is not driven by the amount of testing, and in fact you’re seeing community spread.
As someone still on Mojave and really disappointed with the Mac strategy from Mavericks onwards, I've resigned myself to the idea that my next laptop will not be an MBP. I was enamoured with the original OSX Look&Feel and its unixy underpins; the former is now dead for good (the Big Sur icons are 2001-gnome-level horrendous, and everything is flatter than flat), and the latter dies a little bit more with each release.

I have to admit that I dread going back to the utter boredom of the Microsoft ecosystem, though. I would dearly love a Linux laptop that doesn't make me deaf with fan noise, can last 3 hours of Firefox and Pycharm on a battery charge, and doesn't freak out when waking from sleep. Does such a thing exist yet?
SSC is not a "reactionary blog" by any stretch of the imagination. The author is well known for their comprehensive debunking of politically reactionary views.
Would you mind describing why permitting & licensing are so linked with socialist policies?
Changing the hardware or software yourself is not the point. The point is the monopoly of the manufacturer to repair and modify with huge negative consequences. The lack of right to modify the software leads to unjust power over users [0,1], while the lack of ability to repair hardware leads to unreasonable repair prices, monopoly and environmental damage [2].

I do not owe you answers, but I can continue a conversation if you pay me.
Definitely not. The only comments that are hidden by default are the [dead] ones, and anyone can see them by turning 'showdead' on in their profile. Outright deletion is possible, but only for a few hours, or if the author specifically asks us to later. There have been a handful of exceptions in obscure cases over the years, mostly for legal reasons.

Btw, for anyone who has trouble reading a faded comment, you can click on its timestamp to go to its page and the text should be readable.
Sure they do, otherwise selling desktop software to Linux users would actually be profitable.
Click on 'add/remove icons' link at the bottom left on the page. Then choose 'AWS'. The aws icons should appear in the icon palette.
> but being comfortably middle class now, I also recognize it's something of a nonstarter with people who don't have that experience.

I think this is one of the two culture clashes happening with police versus civilians right now.

After the protests in the wake of the Michael Brown killing, there were articles written[1][2] about how there are a ton (many dozens) of tiny towns around Saint Louis each only a few city blocks large that prey on their citizens like parasites. Middle class people have largely moved out of these towns so they avoid this problem.

I don't think "defund the police" is a particularly good slogan and this is likely the reason other comfortably middle class families are likely to reject that calling.

But I also think that those who are comfortably middle class and ignoring the very real struggles of the lower class at the hands of the police and their governments have a duty to help lift their fellow Americans up and at least learn about the problems they face, if not do something about them. If we don't, we are no better than the pre Civil War city dwellers of the North comfortably ignoring the plight of the slaves and the indentured servants in the agrarian south.

not sure what this is supposed to be other than a platitude. So dangerous weapons and dangerous viruses don't exist either?

I think free speech extremism is apt as a description here because a sort of worldview where only humans have agency is extremely mistaken.
The only edits I've made are for grammatical changes or typographical errors, done quickly after the initial posting as I am a poor proofreader. I am really not sure what you're talking about. My original comment stands that yes, I am shocked to see so many anti-immigrant comments here. That seems like a pretty blandly accurate description to me. No one has been called a name.

Many more comments are non sequiturs about the various shortcomings of the H1B program which has nothing to do with why it was suspended. My comment doesn't label every participant in this thread as anti-immigrant.
I understand that completely and i already know your thoughts on that and in some extend i do agree.

Still, i think we do have in hand a very characteristic issue that even without knowing the details, simply by searching commit messages for "crypto" "key" "buffer" etc it should alert somebody to give it a second and third look.
You don't have 15 year old binaries linking against an 18 year old version of libwebp.
Hospitals are starting to reach capacity in Tucson and Dallas right now.
> Nobody would let you write it down on paper.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, it's a regularly advocated for position at all levels.
"C comment," you mean.

So it's running the file as a shell script, where the first line runs tcc on the current file and quits.
I'm wondering if this can be attributed to large gatherings associated with protests and demonstrations as well as the "reopening" that's currently on-going?
herd immunity in the way that you're advocating for is akin to genocide.
Smell the streets at 3am
Absolutely correct.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

"grant to any third party any intellectual property or other proprietary rights;"

If I've used this on a web page, a third-party has the rights to view and make local cached copies of the web page.

"disclose or make any source code or any part or derivative work thereof available to third parties under any circumstances;"

If I put this into a document, printed it, and handed it to my mom, I've just made a derivative work available to third-parties (and yes, the compiled font is a derivative of the source code, if you parse the 'therefore' that way).

... and so on.

I'm giving intentionally absurd examples, but legal language like this is just absurdly poorly-written and stupid. Whatever you want legal language to say, you want it to be clear and unambiguous. That protects everyone involved; there are clear limits, and nothing for courts to argue about. In this case, even the basic grammar is ambiguous (pronouns pointing into voids, chains of ambiguous and/or clauses, etc.)

Here's another gem:

"each copy shall bear an appropriate copyright notice in substantially the form of '© 2020 Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC. All rights reserved.' and a copy of this License" -- well which is it: Are all rights reserved, or do I have additional rights as defined by this license?

Virtually /any/ use of this font falls into a legal gray zone, and so creates a massive liability for everyone involved in using this, ironically including Goldman Sachs itself. Many clauses are bad enough a judge would just toss them out, and that leaves a legal document that looks a lot like Swiss cheese.

Most first-year law students would be embarrassed to draft legal text like this, and most lawyers would be concerned about legal malpractice if they let a document like this slip out.

That's just in the legal language is written. One level up, we run into fundamental misconceptions of how open source works, of how copyright works, as well as a slew of missing standard license boilerplate.

And on top of that, we have the basic strategic issue: Except for exceptional cases, it makes sense to use an existing, vetted license; it's usually stupid to draft your own unless there's a darned good reason (and in that case, you'd better find a qualified lawyer). Even if you do draft your own, you should start with an existing, vetted license, and modify the parts which don't fit, and find a competent lawyer to do it.

I've met elementary school students who wrote better legal language than this. This makes Goldman look incompetent. It's not a good look for an investment bank.
Hello! I'm the creator of the Lucky web framework https://luckyframework.org. I've been building it for about 3 years and we've got a number of people using it in production.

It still lacks some features found in bigger frameworks, but is nearing 1.0 and gaining many new contributors that are helping us fill in the gaps.

Feel free to hop on our chatroom to ask questions about it. We try to be super friendly and love answering questions and getting feedback https://gitter.im/luckyframework/Lobby
probably Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
No, that isn't the point either. The point is happy users, and there will always be some unhappy users because they wanted to do something that isn't supported or actively barred.

Throwing in words like 'right' and 'unjust' helps in movements and call to action etc, but in this context it's about someone turning on their device, doing some work, and turning it off again.
Nothing stops people from using whatever distro they like, instead of RHEL. If they are using RHEL, presuming they’re rational actors, it’s because the RHEL model works for their use case.
I just want to point out that the government has not clearly outlined its strategy, and the reason is that the end-goal is to reach herd immunity in 12-18 month. Infections are OK, what's not OK is too-high rates of hospitalization which leads to death that can be prevented.
> maybe the biggest reason we're doing all this is to flatten the curb so hospitals don't get overwhelmed.

I think the other, possibly just as important, reason to lower the infection count is that medical professionals are yet unsure of the long-term, chronic health impacts of this disease and that there appear to be some preliminary signs of significant respiratory and pulmonary issues that can effect many age groups - perhaps even in those not necessarily requiring hospitalization.

It would appear that medical science has a few additional treatments in their toolbox now (as compared to, say, March or April) that lower the severity of the disease and helps prevent death in some populations, but still, many concerning unknowns remain.

At least that is what I have seen here and there from several medical professionals that I have seen on Twitter over the past few weeks...
Facebook whistleblower documents evidence of moderation algorithm and team bias
Again, that's not true either. It was specifically about iPhones and specifically about older batteries. Apple still doesn't have the type of battery management for iPads.

The article you cited specifically lists the devices affected.
Absolutely. I'm a firefighter. I was the designated driver for two friends. We leave a bar, and I pull up to the intersection. I have a flashing red traffic light, and the cross traffic has a flashing yellow. There is a police car sitting at his flashing yellow, windows down, watching (it's closing time, and there are several people milling about on the street, the usual). I wait. He doesn't move. I wait for approximately 10 seconds before turning, with my signal, left.

I'm immediately lit up. "Failure to yield". In addition I get an FST after "failing" the vertical nystagmus test (bear in mind at this point, my one and only pint of beer is coming up on five hours old). Cop is insistent I'm drunk, says he can go the DUI route, because my "behavior" in "failing to yield" shows I'm impaired, regardless of actual numbers. I'm lucid, but frustrated. Debates merits of blood draw, etc. Tickets me, "Get out of downtown and get home, I think we both know you're getting off lucky".
> They are extremely hostile to third-party developers with significant obfuscation efforts around their private API.

Because of this, that's why there's no bots on Snapchat for a long time (yet). Bots have proliferated all over TikTok, Instagram and Twitter since they became mainstream and still to this day.

Snap already has official SDKs for third-party developers for years that allow you to deal with login which they control that allows them to expand out into other apps, for example.
Code scanning doesn't guarantee code security
Meh, I just load up manjaro with XFCE and call it a day. Not much fiddling involved, very little about the user experience that I don't like.

Only thing I ever really tweaked was running a more up-to-date kernel for an old soundcard I used to use. Which took a couple of clicks.

Sorry for your colleague who had trouble with wifi, but. /shrug
Interesting you mention Emacs. The Mac port of Emacs runs noticeably slower than Linux depending on operation (magit especially is very slow). This is due to the much slower fork call on OS X I believe. I found Emacs so painfully slow on a MBP 16” I gave up on OS X completely. It might just be you are used to it and it’s good enough. For me OS X feels like a laggy mess.
unfortunately that's the current implied strategy, that people like it or not.
> I mean, you can't bring a body in with a zillion bullet holes and tell the coroner it was suicide.

Well, no, because “zillion” isn't a number.

But with actual numbers of bullet holes, yes, history shows that happens. And that the inconsistent injuries either get convenient explanations, or are left off the report as if they didn't happen. Now, when these things get additional public scrutiny, it's an embarrassment, but that usually hasn't happened, which is why there is a culture of impunity.
Hey Alex, the pricing is definitely appealing. I currently pay for ngrok, but $15/mo puts it on my watchlist of things to get rid of.

One thing i do like about ngrok that i didn't seem to see in tunnelto.dev, however, is:
- the ability to forward TCP ports (these basically get forwarded to 0.tcp.ngrok.io at a particular port)
- the ability to specify a subdomain - this is particularly handy if you want something that's going to stick around for a while (i.e longer than a couple of hours)
­>inux is only free if your time has no value. I use it as a server OS plenty, but don’t really need it on my desktop.

To me this means "I don't know how to get Ubuntu working". Even Arch Linux requires less maintenance for me than my 2013 Macbook Pro did. As soon as you get the setup over with correctly you never have an issue, unless you can't get set it up correctly.

Windows is nice when everything works, and if you don't do anything too advanced for your setup and never have an issue it's good. But fixing issues is much easier in Linux than Windows as long as you know what you are doing.
In class and race struggles it's not uncommon to see someone worry aloud about token individuals who are "allowed" to succeed out of proportion to their peers. It gives the rabble hope, which keeps them sedate. But the success rate barely exceeds attrition at the top of the pyramid.

I don't think I personally will ever know if this is just an accident of the system (being happily exploited), planned, or a little bit from column A and a little bit from column B.

Enough notable success stories satisfies the Availability heuristic in your brain, but that often tricks you into thinking things are quite different than they actually are.
Or really, like pretty much any developed nation.
That's not what I said. I just said chrome relies on Google for survival. No Google, no more chrome.
Generate the barebones skeleton of a MC plugin given a groupId and artifactId
I found it took way too long to setup a new Minecraft plugin project, so I created this to do it for me. All you have to do is specify the groupId, artifactId, description and discord invite link through a website. If you do not specify certain values, then the defaults will be loaded from the config.
I'm sympathetic to the idea that neighborhoods have a right not to be policed if they don't want to. But historically, the alternative to effective policing hasn't been peace and harmony; it's been protection rackets and violent mobs. I think we need to have some confidence that we're not plunging cities back to the crime rates of the 90s before we go down that route.
