My very first Mac was the very first Intel Mac Mini, I remember at the time disputing getting a PPC Mac Mini instead for software compatibility. I'm glad I didn't. I was a long time Windows fanboy and that Mac Mini converted me.

That machine is still kicking, my dad was using it for web browsing until earlier this year. Firefox was for a long time the only modern browser he could use, and then even that stopped supporting 32 bit Macs.
Ok maybe I am narrow-minded but Alpine has so many hidden gotchas such as not using muslc instead of glibc. This specifically causes most stuff not to compile from source properly. Depending on how you use your daily machine you might end up redoing everything inside Alpine and would be better served with something like Fedora or Debian.

Both PyTorch and Tensorflow teams have announced they'll support TF32. By design, it interoperates well with existing code, since calling code can just treat it as a regular FP32 value.
Ask HN: Is word-wrap by design in HN comments?
Reading comments today from mobile Firefox suddenly became harder/annoying: words appear to be wrapped, and in most cases single letter is carried or left on the previous line.

Has some recent HN change caused this?

If you look at your argument without the "I bias", there is (or at least I'd argue there is strong empirical evidence for) a tradeoff between "lives saved [from Covid]" and "decrease in the quality of life" which IMHO is the argument of the OC.
That’s fair. My point wasn’t to really assert a conclusion about the Democratic Party as a whole, but rather to show that there is a robust social left in the US. To my knowledge, only two Western countries extend universal (rather than emergency) care for undocumented immigrants.
If Radar did even a tiny bit of what it's advertised to do, it seems like this shouldn't have happened.
Ooh I have some opinions about this, and I largely agree with you (crazy, I know).

One idea I have is to go back to the simpler days of MSDOS GUI. We can generate such a UI using some custom markdown, and for the most part it does simple CRUD, with plugin support for complicated stuff. The focus will be on speed (keyboard navigable with Windows alt+<letter> shortcuts), and brutalist UI in the form of MSDOS GUI.

I used Atlas and got the full 5K from AWS last month. Digital Ocean denied me any credit at all even after I followed all the many steps and sent screenshots of the Atlas signups and all our sensitive company info. But I don't think much of their service so whatever. I would suggest people avoid going through the DO process, it's a scam to collect information on new companies.
I suspect, now that Gary is self publishing and doesn’t need to cater to syndication and mass media, he can explore some edgy stuff. Age makes people salty as well. I liked the comic - the normality of the family eating a typical meal and using their condiments of choice, while manifesting our fears and expectations of savage nature - dark for sure, but “funny”.
Probably easily done if the publisher has a large fanbase and uses other social media channels to send them all to Youtube the moment the video is published.
All the large companies are used for diplomatic purpose internationally by the CCP, ByteDance being that successful won't escape it. Basically they will have two solutions, either move out of China or obey the CCP like the other ones, there's no option to be independent in China.

And as the private investors, well, they will soon learn how the CCP works...
I don't read Jacobin and find American socialism tiresome and unmoored from reality. But the "What We Believe" statement you cited earlier espouses none of the economic justice positions of Jacobin or the DSA, nor do either of their petitions.

There is a strain of socialist activism in BLM (you saw it with the ridiculous "property crime isn't violence" stuff). But those were voices in a larger crowd, and the movement doesn't seem to endorse them explicitly.

There are BLM signs all over Oak Park and, I assure you, very few of these people actually want to defund the Oak Park Police Department. I think BLM supporters have more clarity on the issues than you give them credit for: they're standing in solidarity with black people who have been targeted for generations by a policing culture we all know to be fucked up. They're not looking to seize the means of production.

The serious outbreaks in the US and South Korea began at the same time. Arguably, South Korea’s circumstances were worse because there’s was driven by a secretive cult that hid their illness and misled contract tracers. Look at where both countries are today.

There are a lot of games that are played in real time and involve strategy before then, and I'll happily call them real time strategy games.

Well, no. It's illegal (in any coherent district) to put hard chemical waste (like silver) into the wastewater. you either take it to, as you suggested, a local film lab, or you clearly label it, build up several gallons of it, and take it to a chemical treatment factory, or whatever distribution process you have to get it there. Like NileRed does.

I have the first Intel Mac Mini still running for my parents, and it runs the latest Firefox really well on 32-bit Debian. I set them up with a macOS theme on Plasma Desktop and the only difference that they seemed to notice is that their computer became much faster.

You can upgrade the machine with a Core 2 Duo processor for about $4 if you really want to keep it running forever.

If you miss the "old YouTube" you really owe it to yourself to check out tiktok. The diversity of content there is great and nothing is even close to 10 minutes. Most YouTube videos are 30-60 seconds of good content diluted to 10:01 so they can be monetized.

I think I actually enjoyed the prose before the comics more than the comics themselves (although the first one got a good laugh out of me). Definitely glad he's back and I'm looking forward to more.

It's interesting to see the new art style. It's neat how much more detailed the comics are. The coloring is a bit more smudgy looking, if that makes sense? IIRC he didn't color his own comics before so I suppose it's not a surprise that they're different.

I’m not a lawyer.

If memory serves me, the EU does not
Operate on the same legal framework as the US, so the assumptions I hear here: that the exact letter of the law they’re suggesting is worrying, is not
How it works in the EU. They also don’t use case law to define exactly how something will be dealt with.

It’s a lot more fluid and ‘spirit of the law’y there.

I think.
> But there's little controversy about the segregated dorms I mentioned where only black people are allowed to live.

Sure, but these have been around for quite a while (the first example I see is from 1969).

I think this speaks to an interesting impedance mismatch in terms of race-blindness vs. race awareness. There's two kinds of arguments in this vein. One, the dogwhistly kind of race-blindness that's characterized by "I don't see race" and "America hasn't been a racist nation since 1965" kinds of things. You're not making this kind of argument, and I want to be clear that you aren't, but I want to touch on it for anyone else reading, because I think there's some interesting history there about the broader "race-blindness" statement.

Interestingly, right in the shadow of the civil rights movement, race-aware policies were the norm. School bussing and forced re-integration to make sure things weren't separate were commonplace and even mandated. But we've been slowly moving in the opposite direction, with the specific issue of school desegragation seeing a reversal in 2007, where race-aware re-integration policies that tried to account for de-facto segregation were declared unconstitutional. In other words, policies crafted during the civil rights era were declared to violate the "equal protection" clause, and as a result, school districts have grown significantly more segregated since 2007. The upshot: race-aware policies aren't "new" and in fact sentiment and legality for them has drifted against, not for, them over time.

So if we start from the axioms that black American culture is unique, and that it is valuable, then we might want to protect and foster it in a college environment. If you have a minority spread across a majority group, they'll be forced to integrate in various ways. Certainly things like black student unions and culture clubs exist (and they exist for other cultures as well, as do insular dorms in some cases), but who you live around has a huge impact on the culture. We know this is true in cases beyond ethnic culture: universities have insular dorms for all kinds of things, pre-med programs, honors programs, sports programs etc. Not to mention unofficial insular communities such as marching band, where I know many students choose to live near each other at many schools. Not to mention, like, fraternities and sororities.

So if we recognize the value of a culture, and we recognize the value of an insular community in protecting that culture, the next step is to foster an insular community to protect and encourage this culture. That way it doesn't get lost, and people can learn from and about it.

So the question becomes: is separate but equal being inherently unequal, as Brown v. BoE said, the end of the story, or does equality through assimilation cause it's own kind of inequality? And if so, how do you balance those inequalities?
I think it’s just a variation on one of his common tropes- take a recognizable situation (Cub Scouts having a picnic outdoors) and then flip the situation around so that the things that usually do the action (eating) are now the subjects receiving the action (being eaten). I think he chose bears to be the ones eating the Cub Scouts because bears live in the woods and also the “cub” in Cub Scouts comes from bear cubs.

Facade, well, that’s obvious from the name. It’s not just an OO pattern.

Visitor is a hack. You need to traverse an opaque structure but you know the types of its nodes. A simple lambda in other languages, it’s needed in (older) C++ and Java because of the single dispatch method calls. Even so, it’s not common in languages that rely on runtime typing or algebraic data types.

Prominent Artists and Writers Warn of an ‘Intolerant Climate’
So the sample story was about how the police achieved their metrics through unsavory methods because it was too hard/too much work to do it the "correct" way?

Is the problem then how you go about achieving the metrics? Let's say that you always pair metrics with an approval process for how you plan to achieve those metrics. Presumably when the police chief gives a presentation on how he plans to reduce crime rate by throwing out crime reports, the committee would be none too pleased.

Does that theoretically handle the majority of cases where enacting metrics has adverse effects, or does it fall on the other side of 80/20? Or maybe actors are always so inclined to lie and cheat that there's no point in even exploring such an approach.

Just a few pain points from an applicant point of view.

- Way to much signal to noise. When scrolling through a job board, it's already rare to see a job that makes me thing "I have to apply to this". What's wire however, is that I have to sift through pages of the same garbage jobs reposted by a dozen different recruiting agencies. Also "promote jobs".

- Useless filters: I remember one site I went on let you filter by industry. So I entered a few and searched. 90% of the results were certainly not in the industries I selected. I'd rather get 0 results than pages of irrelevant ones.
How the Mighty Fall
CL has maps and folds (the latter it calls REDUCE) and I definitely prefer them to any form of iteration when they make sense.
When presenting an argument that has to do with determining characteristics of a group of people (e.g., the philosophical tenets of a movement), it is fallacious to cherry-pick who is and is not a real or representative member of that group. The founders of this group are indeed members and their views cannot be hand-waved away.

> Would I rather work for an employer who did what it took to navigate the Covid shitstorm on their own dime

I don't know about that. Every accountant I knew urged their clients to apply — primarily because there were so many unknowns — at the worst of it, it seemed like things had a sincere chance of degrading into a real doomsday scenario.

I would argue that it would be outright irresponsible for a company to forgo applying for PPP. I wouldn't want to work for an employer who would choose to go against the advice of their financial advisors because they wanted make a point.
It's OK nobody agrees on who actually represents god so nobody has clear standing to sue or rather everyone thinks they do and would most certainly spend the next century suing each other and you could claim to need to hold any suit against you until all their suits against each other were settled.
Nim deserves more recognition: it has that same feeling of being fast and easy to write, but has an actual type system and it's shockingly quick.

Your "at the same time" statement is off by a few days and off by a few days makes a huge difference in outbreak severity. That's why you need to keep in mind that small numbers of infected people and seemingly short time intervals change the result radically.

As for the API restrictions, they aren't advertising it but about a year ago they started warning users about forthcoming extensive audits to maintain access, and about six months ago they started reducing access for API keys if you stopped maxing them out for a day or more. Our last API key got shut down for good a couple of weeks ago. We're going to try to fill out the form and get our access reinstated, but I'm not sure how willing they'll be to allow access for research. The form seems intended for client-facing apps. But who knows - Facebook/CrowdTangle/Twitter have been very supportive of legitimate research initiatives, I'm hoping YouTube follows that trend!

It started out with universal condemnation of a murder committed by the police in Minnesota.

And it's become a distraction from that. The US has a serious problem with police brutality and quality control. US cops killed 1,112 people in 2019. That's over 10x the rate for EU countries. The odds are worse if you're black, but more whites are killed by cops than blacks.

That's the problem. Statues don't kill. Flags don't kill. Cops kill.

Well, there is effectively no "looser lockdown" when you're part of the EU, and even more economically tied to the rest of Scandinavia.

But anyway, the most important point is that a general lockdown that doesn't adequately protect the elderly, and others with preexisting conditions, won't reduce the death rate very much.
