> For the very poor, a short (few days) stint in jail would be far preferable to having your car impounded.

This is probably true, but a car impoundment isn't a first pass at punishment. It would presumably be after someone is a severe repeat offender with no remorse. It's okay to set a maximum punishment, say car impoundment, and then judge from the fact pattern that someone deserves the max punishment. I do hope that the max punishment is less preferable than other hypothetical punishments.

> The real problem is that the poor are very often unplugged from civil society as experienced by the middle classes. They don't have a stake in it. Rather than just throw up our hands, if we're serious about the plight of poverty and its ill effects, we should be more proactive. Keep the penalties, because jail time is something everybody understands, no matter how poor you are. But be proactive about not only enforcement but remediation. Send the darned judges to the people rather than making the people come to the judge. If all the person can afford is a quarter, then take the quarter and thank them for their time and their participation.

This is a fine take, but is nearly impossible to do wholesale because there are so many entrenched interests. You're talking about a fundamental change (that I agree would be good) to the whole justice system and its goals, which isn't practical in any sense. But in this hypothetical world where the whole justice system is changed, I might agree that jail time is something that could be on the table for speeding tickets.

However, that is not going to happen anytime soon, and certainly not all at once. While we ponder how to enact a total overhaul of the justice system, let's make speeding tickets not have jail time as a punishment.

> The goal afterall isn't punishment for punishment's sake, it's to heal the wounds to civil society caused by law breaking, repairing the relationship between the offender and the community, and bringing the offender back into the fold. If the offender doesn't have any sense of a personal relationship with the state, then punishment imposed from a distance can't meet even half of its function. Moreover, no penalty whatsoever, or one with no teeth, does absolutely nothing except reinforce the estrangement, which is worse. It's like leaving the mentally ill on the street to rot to death out of some absurd sense of individual liberty; it functions only to make the non-mentally ill feel more secure in their privileged circumstances, rather than addressing any of the real underlying issues.

This is super debatable and there are many schools of thought on the goals of punishment. Some say people should be punished for punishment's sake, and indeed the way sentences are handed out in many cases reinforces that this is the prevailing view.
Neither TFA nor any of the comments so far mention what seems to me the single most damning irony of drug-prohibition... that one of the most dangerous and harmful drugs of all remains legal through all the drug-war theater: alcohol.

Scientifically today there is really no doubt that alcohol is nearly as or perhaps even more harmful (considering all forms of harm, such as drug-specific mortality, drug-related mortality, health problems, dependence, economic costs to society, etc.) as the most dangerous illegal drugs, such as heroin and crack cocaine. Not that I think alcohol should be prohibited either, but if you don't prohibit it where is the logic in prohibiting far less harmful drugs such as canabis or psychadelics? The only logic is to use that prohibition as a tool for the arbitrary oppression of selected segments of society. And that's just plain immoral.
Actually climate change is driven by our use of fossil fuels, and use of fossil fuels has a direct correlation with our GDP. So, reducing our fossil fuel use will inevitably lead to a reduction in our GDP. Not a stop, but a recession.

The good thing is that this recession is going to happen anyway, because the supply of fossil fuel is dwindling already.
They most certainly will... But at least the money was sent.

Nothing they can do to stop that.
Either the problem is with the analogy and you're taking it too literally, or your reasoning is severely distorted and leads into very dark, hellish places. People can decide not to wear hoodies anymore. Chinese people cannot choose to just not be Chinese anymore, nor should they have to.

As for edit history, I'm assuming you are talking about the description edit history. If so, we had an open conversation (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/10103#note_206...) about why we placed the feature in Starter and above.

There was an article in the Globe and Mail a few days ago saying each store was averaging about 10 sales/week, which certainly meshes with the store always being empty.
That’s the public message. Their HR will probably cherry pick some, sometimes even such scammers happen to have not yet corrupt talent. Other than that the IP situation would be the only sensible explanation of this deal.
I'd classify vi (and vim) as originally being ubiquitous not necessarily popular. They have been a necessary part of my career since the start. I'd assume that is true of a lot of people here.
Haskell as well, I think of -- as 'standard', along with /* // and #.

Lisp's ; is narrowly my favourite, but I suspect that's more because I like lisps than any inherent virtue...
I don't buy it. It is unlikely that the rules of evidence are being changed. I could always be wrong, though. Got a source?
Yeah, this is what I was talking about. Software product management as a separate functional org from engineering.

Not like old-Dupont-style product orgs.
Every time I tried a new IDE I always looked for the setting or plugin that makes it work like VI. I eventually decided instead of making my IDE like VI I'd use vim plugins and make it my IDE.

I think this was the page that started me down that path: https://realpython.com/vim-and-python-a-match-made-in-heaven...
I don't see how that matters in a discussion of speed.

I can't agree more.

Do you use any library for the binding? I use sol2.
I would be more sympathetic to this plan if it were also tied to update status.

Imagine manufacturers having the incentive to issue monthly security updates, else their users get very angry they can't watch Netflix/log into their bank app/use google pay...
I'm wondering too...it's just earbuds in a different form factor right? I guess it's one less device to carry but would be concerned about the weight and battery life.

The appeal of Hololens and rumored Apple Glass is that they offer augmented reality capacity. Aka layering useful information onto an existing field of view. Google Glass back in the day also offered that - perhaps ahead of its time given the technology constraints at the time.
Top Proven Ways Good Leaders Build Trust with Their Employees
Do you still trust the CDC? One unfortunate side effect of the pandemic is that my trust in the CDC went from absolute to non-existent. They’ve shown themselves willing to bend to politics instead of siding with science.
Honestly, this stuff is not a bottleneck for me. The things that both emacs and vi do, and vi does a little better:

1) Supports more than basic text manipulations. Rectangle selection and deletion? Check. Regex operations? Execute shell command on selection and replace inline? Record a macro and execute N times? Modes? Stuff like that.

2) I know it really really well to the point I don't need to look anything up to use it.

3) Runs anywhere. Got a shell on the hard disk controller? It will be there.

Vi is better only at 3. Emacs 1-2, and I would say 3 partially compared to other visual editors that you sometimes can't run even if you tried.

I really don't care about the Lisp, or the home row stuff, or whatever. That falls under #2. As long as I memorize and get good at how some operation is done, and the effort is similar, I'm fine.

And then we get to #1, and pretty much all good editors today do well there.
Yeah, when I first saw the email I put a reminder to cancel before August billing, but I've been using it much less recently anyway so seeing this thread I decided to just cancel immediately. Hopefully in the future there will be a basic option back in the $40 range
Here lays the body of William Jay,
Who died maintaining his right of way,
He was right, so right, as he sped along,
But he's just as dead as if he were wrong.

Moral of the limerick? Optimize for for your own safety, not mere adherence to the law, because lawsuits cannot bring you back from the dead. The other person being wrong for killing you won't make you any less dead. This is something I try to keep in mind whenever I'm driving, crossing a street, etc. The crosswalk may say I can walk, but for my own sake I better look both ways anyway.

do you think our government is better than theirs?

Can't answer specifically without knowing who "ours" and "theirs" are, but I can answer generically. Governments that hold elections where more than one genuinely competing party can win if enough voters want to vote for them are better than governments that declare themselves the rulers.

Governments that defend the rights of people to express genuinely competing opinions, regardless of who agrees or disagrees, are better than governments that use or enable coercion to silence opinions they don't want people to hear.

Governments that use pervasive surveillance to monitor and punish people for thought crimes, where having or expressing forbidden opinions is treated as an actual "crime", are worse than governments that don't.

There is clearly a spectrum, and though my Chinese relatives keep pointing out how many US institutions are coming to resemble the Marxist institutions and people resemble the Red Guards they remember, the actual government of China is still far worse. "Since we, the CCP, are the People's Gov't, there is no further need for elections, and anyone who disagrees is an Enemy of The People, needs to be discovered, and deserves to be punished for that crime."
Wouldn't that kinda defeat the whole purpose of signing the app?
Uhhhh, no.
From the standpoint of malware writers, the users are one Office 20XX or Adobe CC 20XX away to installing the latest 'free trial' until they search for that fake keygen.exe or 'cracked full version' and it starts encrypting their work.

Adobe and Microsoft are the most targeted by malware writers unsurprisingly.

Still - if its not an emergency room, people there are probably in for routine checks and not covid related. The place I'm going is an 'imaging center' - so they do xrays, CAT scans, PET scans, etc. Probably not going to bump into anyone infectious there. My endo and pulmonologist's offices have been pretty empty, with short waits. Both the imaging center and the office's had the full mask, social distancing (empty chairs blocked), temp, and sanitizer routine at the door..

If you're going to a 'medical complex', I'd expect them to have something similar at the doors since they usually have a receptionist type desk.
> I don’t understand how people dare to run executables downloaded from a pirate site...

Pirate sites have reputations the same as anybody. The more reputable ones actively remove spam and malware.

So it's kind of like saying, I don't understand how people dare to run executables downloaded through the internet. Depends a lot on where on the internet you downloaded it.
53% of people in this poll think we buy technology. They are wrong
Having an entire separate org whose sole job is to create backlog items inevitably ends up with 100s of items, 15-30% of which are "high" priority. Many of these will have out of date specs by the time engineering can pull them in.

I would much rather have product folks embedded in the engineering team. That way they can be working on making sure any issues on deck to be worked on next have up to date, clear requirements, and issues are prioritized correctly.

Having product people separated into their own organization almost always leads to a "throw it over the wall" situation.

Between this, Mastodon, Matrix, and others, I feel like we're witnessing the end of the centralized web era (everyone uses one network), and the return to a distributed Internet (lots of different services) with aggregators (Adium or NovaChat).

The recent Twitch/Reddit/Twitter bans should only magnify this effect. Congrats Eric! I'm very excited to use this.

A road warrior VPN setup running on a Raspberry Pi 4 and placed in your home costs less than $50. There are 1000 reasons to have one anyway, and watching TV while traveling is also one of them. I know for a fact the Spectrum TV app works quite well under this setup.

If it's anything like using a phone it's going to be a huge pain the rear to interact with others in any meaningful way. Just sharing a link is by far the easiest way to share anything with anyone. I don't want some fancy NFC, proximity sensing, bluetooth activating mumbo jumbo.

It might be cool but it's not useful.
Without getting into the details of the specific technology (app.config, etc.), I would argue that config should go into files instead of databases. For all the problems with poorly-structured file-based application configuration that OP points out, the same practices but using a database lead to far worse consequences. One important advantage of files is that their lifecycle can be managed separately from user application data (which tends to be in the database) and potentially even be put under source control.

People don't have perfect reflexes, physical coordination, and situational awareness. Someone could be checking their blind spot at the exact moment the person in front of them slams on their brakes. Someone could move their foot over from the gas and for no particular reason completely miss the brake pedal, or sneeze at the exact wrong time, or be stung by a hornet they didn't know was in the car, or simply not react fast enough.

Humans are fallible and make unintentional mistakes. It's surprising that humans are as good at driving as we are and that most of us aren't making catastrophic mistakes on a regular basis.
Deliberately wasting energy to achieve an orthogonal goal always struck me as a very 'unengineering' solution to a problem. Almost every other project is optimized for efficiency but bitcoin is the opposite. Sure, it was a clever solution to bombproof security at the time but I always felt this was its Achilles heel.
Copyright _does_ treat them differently. It's why fair use exists. Is Disney entitled to fair use inside a paid/sold product, with no criticism or enhancement?
Definitely interested, then. Is there a newsletter signup or something?
My guess is live sports is a big part of the market. Depending on what sport/team you are a fan of the league-run streaming services are a huge pain with blackouts, lag, etc. YouTubeTV was the best cost+convenience option for me to watch my local MLB team when I signed up originally. Now it isn't.

Their strategy makes no sense to me if a lot of the market is indeed live sports though, so maybe I'm an outlier.
While most Modelica's applications are primarily engineering related, it is used for stock and flow models and there are some folks digging into use it for economic modeling (as there are others using it for environmental and biological systems modelling).

rutracker isn't some fly-by-night random tracker, it's a well established site in Russia, and the admins have been extremely communicative with users throughout virtually every governmental upset.

To add some context, try to imagine if the classic western trackers had prominent links like this, for example, what.cd.

Looking at the thread, the early posts correctly identified it as malware before the malwarebytes report, and even noted that the link itself violated the application post rules.

It's good for malwarebytes to report that this exists, but they're focusing on the wrong parts, imho.

The hash files to identify the affected file should have been the first part, then the explanation. A bit of google translate would have shown that already, rutracker users are calling to delete the thread.
I haven't used Redis before, but I have been considering it for a project I'm working on so I've been having a look.

Just wanted to offer you my thanks. I've seen the project a bit from the sidelines over the years out of interest, and I think you should be proud of it.

Hope you will do something that excites you next. My only tip is : don't worry about what other people think is exciting - follow your gut.

It is never the entire community. In situations where this kind of drifts occur, most of the group are usually people with little knowledge about activist dynamics and unwilling to consider that people they know/trust may adhere to or have done things they consider abhorrent. Therefore, they tend do be blindsided about stuff that, in hindsight, was obvious.

This is likely why above poster says "racist-adjacent" and not racist-friendly.

I have no particular opinion on HN, but I have noticed that the tech community in general is usually not the most politics-aware group. This makes us pretty vulnerable to this kind of behaviour.
No argument here. That was my regional bias slipping in -- RWD is incredibly uncommon in the cold places I've lived except for pickups, and most people are aware of the potential dangers of RWD.
I don't pirate much any more, but in high school and college I was very much a digital hoarder. I ran plenty of pirated software and from what I remember never had any problems whatsoever with malicious software (that I was aware of). Of course you need to know what you're doing, same as downloading software from anywhere else.
Disclosure: I work for AWS on cloud infrastructure

My personal opinion is that the Phoronix way places quantity over quality. Measuring performance is an important part of shining a light on where we can improve the product, but I get little practical information from those numbers, even when they are reported as non-synthetic. There are HPC workloads that are showing significant cost advantages when run on C6g, like computational fluid dynamics simulations. See [1].

I expect the scalability of HPC clustering to improve on C6g in the future, like C5n improved cluster scalability compared to C5 with the introduction of the Elastic Fabric Adapter. The Phoronix and Openbenchmarking.org approach doesn't give much insight into workloads like this.

My advice for an audience like folks on HN is is to test it for yourself. For me, being able to run my own experiments is how I come to understand infrastructure better. And the cloud lowers the barrier of running those experiments significantly by being available on-demand, just an API call away. I'd love to hear what you think, either in a thread here or you can contact me via addresses in my user profile.
