Haha, yeah I love how he upheld that states can use lethal injection even if they can't get the right ingredients, what a baller.
Absolutely, and that 3% is for all minority-owned businesses, not just black-owned. One large part of the problem is likely that the higher revenue industries are dominated by big businesses that shut out small businesses. Here’s an industry breakdown showing a very small representation in industries like information.

I consider the lack of highlighting part of a "calm" interface: the only thing that changes as I type, are the characters that I type. But maybe that's just Stockholm Syndrome after 15 years of Acme! :)

When I need to check nesting levels, I use a little acme-trick: double-click on the closing mark (works for parentheses, curly brackets, quotes, probably more) and it'll highlight everything contained within that level. So if I type (some (big (lisp (expression)))) and want to make sure I got the right number of parentheses at the end, I just double-click on the last one and make sure the whole expression gets highlighted. Here's a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/Qyvv2K9.png

I don't find I need to do it particularly often when writing Go, though, and if I do... well, I start to think about refactoring to make my function invocation less obtuse, or whatever.
The point though is that unions, wherever they are present in the public sector, tend to create uniformly sub-pair service. This is true for teachers, it's true for cops, and it's true basically wherever public sector unions are to be found.
Going to the hospital must've been interesting. I wonder if she, in her mid-60s, was seated upside down in the car, or if the man carried her upside down through public transport.

So maybe writing and reading useful commit logs is not such a bad idea after all :)

Reminds me of this quote: "Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it."
> Unlawful acts, performed long enough and with sufficient vigor, are never enough to amend the law

And yet "adverse possession" allows my neighbor to keep a slice of my yard, because he build the fence shortly before I bought the house (while it was unoccupied!) and I assumed it was proper after I moved in, and now that I've had a survey done and realized his fence is 5' off target, it's too late because he officially owns it!

I understand the difference, but I feel like it would be more proper to say "Unlawful acts performed long ago, are hardly ever enough to amend the law."
> Your blog post suggest btrfs, ZFS or XFS. Which one should I pick next time around?

All three are available to recent linux distributions, but know they all have very different ergonomics. Spend a minute or two looking at a getting-started guide for each, and pick (or if you have a tech friend that might help you, pick whatever they recommend). All of them work.

> I want to know what happens to my data, and to be able to get it out.

You may have missed this, but with PhotoStructure, none of your data leaves your computer: it's all sitting in plain files and in a schema-documented SQLite database in your library.

> ... I'd pay for integration (a piece of hardware arrives on my doorstep with no futzing, and with automatic security updates, etc. and your competitive edge is trust).

That's an interesting idea, but I think logistics would prove challenging. There are a couple startups that have tried this in recent years, and failed.

> I can see some open source stuff, but I'm not sure what's open and what's closed.

The metadata parsing code (exiftool-vendored) and process management (batch-cluster) is open-source. The metadata inference and cleaning, image duplication detection and comparison, and UI are closed-source.

> Or better yet, where there's a cloud model. My data lives at home, but you have low-res versions of my photos which automatically sync to my phone, which can be shared, etc. securely.

I think there are already cloud solutions (like google photos) that provide this. I think PhotoStructure's value proposition is in privacy you only get via self-hosting.

> Mostly, what I want is a place to reliably be able to dump my files (not just photos), have versioned backups of everything,

borg, tarsnap, and BackBlaze b2 are good tools for this.

> have some way to manage !@#%^ duplicates (I have several computers, and that makes for all sorts of messes).

Simple SHA collisions are easy, and there are many command-line tools that accomplish this. PhotoStructure does detect SHA-duplicate images, but also downsampled, RAW+JPG, and other variations: https://photostructure.com/faq/what-do-you-mean-by-dedupe/

> Ideally, I'd also have some way to securely share with people

This is coming in a future version of PhotoStructure.
It's really slick, and provides a client/server architecture with a bunch of extra security on-top. It generates 1:1 certificates between the api layer and the clients, using a full auth service.

I deployed it at a previous position and stopped SSH across all hosts entirely, and just used this.

It rotated all it's own certificates every 4 hours, and each SSH connection used a unique certificate.

I never had any issues with it, and I had the web UI straight up exposed to the internet. It enforces TOTP and user management with the OSS stuff is pretty trivial.

It also did something really cool, which is that I had multiple bastions federated together through a single API, instead of having singular multiple bastions. This meant no configuration to access hosts between prod/stage/test, all a single entry point, it was awesome.

I don't use it today in my current position for a number of reasons, but if I were to go back to a smaller company and had the choice, I would deploy it with no hesitation.
These are just differences in degree rather than in kind.

There is labor involved in processing the bulk powder: any cutting the seller wants to perform, partitioning into street sale sizes, and of course the actual sales, which is risky and time consuming.

I think you are probably right that the ratio of labor and other costs favors Intel in this comparison, but I think arguing about the specific analogy here is an unhelpful tangent.

The point is: published prices that ignore all of the costs involved in making the sales is a fiction.
I don't own a Mac, but I've heard of the touchbar. I just never imagined it replaced the function keys. That's insanity! (But I'm still stewing over modern keyboards removing the right Win key, so I can't lock my workstation with one hand any more, so don't mind me.)
People joke, but I worked on a calendar application (well, it was a time series graph) where a leap second caused a rendering bug.

As long as we're talking theories, was it the guns coming in or the people coming in that cause the rise in crime?
If you are a subscriber then a better signal would indeed be to unsubscribe rather than to block the site obviously, most of us probably aren't subscribers though. My guess is they're still earning some ad revenue from non-paying users, so reducing the number of readers should have an impact. I am aware that pihole users probably don't see the ads anyway. It might not make them listen, but I wouldn't underestimate the impact either. If they notice a drop in traffic from a big site like HN it might raise some eyebrows at least. At the same time you would have fewer people sharing the links to their other networks so you would get these second order effects as well. How big would this impact be? Hard to tell, only the nytimes would know for sure. I do feel that at least the people that signed the petition from above should stop using the nytimes. Actions speak louder than words after all.
This isn't tax, you'll still have to pay income (or whatever) tax on the $5,800,000. This is them deciding to give you less money, and claiming with careful investment you could make $10,000,000 over the next 40 years.
They also have a pipeline for delivering such quantities regularly and factor in loss to law enforcement just the same as retail prices in “shrink”.

It is doubtful that a bust of that size is anything more than a regularly expected inconvenience.

And honestly, reductions in supply means you can raise you prices and quite believably come out ahead.

The war on drugs definitely makes the drug business more profitable.
I had heard that there are parts of Rotterdam where the politie patrol in groups of five. At the time, I'd thought of their safety, and guessed those must be hard neighbourhoods indeed. But after reading

https://local.theonion.com/corrupt-policeman-worried-about-w...

I wonder if another aspect may be because there are so many drugs transiting through, and while it's relatively easy for two people to be crooked together, it gets fairly difficult for five.
I think we'll pretty soon see computers with higher RAM requirements because of reduced instructions. It's exciting though as Intel hasn't been able to cross new barriers with CISC. RISC/ARM, RISC-V will one day help us to get massive core counts.

Yes, in theory, teachers are covered by QI, however, in practice 2 things are different:

1 is that there are extremely few cases of QI for teachers, QI is used primarily by police officers

2 is that the unions don't back teachers that come up on QI charges. They don't run clinics on how to use QI to jutify harming someone or other clinics like Killology.
Are you attempting to explain why we don't see restaurants offering free shipping while rolling the cost into the food price?

Because we do see this happen, which suggests to me that reviews are not effective enough in practice to overcome the perception advantage of the information asymmetry.
The original meaning of awful used to be awe-inspiring too. Awesome came about as a replacement when awful started acquiring significant negative connotations.

Then it's the doctor's fault for not noticing it.
It's a balancing act. With no unions, employers can stomp all over their employees, and everyone is worse for it (e.g. Amazon). When the unions are too powerful, they can stomp all over their employer and everyone is worse for it (e.g. police unions).

Like all things in life, nothing is cut and dry. It's not wrong to both support unions, and call for the reduction in power of police unions.
I would say that the discourse is insufficently precise in accounting for variables as well. One complication found is also that the better off need less funding in the first place. Which makes some sense upon reflection - parents who are illiterate in the local language for whatever reason would be incapable of providing "baseline" assistance in knowledge transmission. Asking for 100% equal outcomes would clearly result in a procrustean bed but counterintuitively equal opportunity does not require equal input costs as convenient as it would be.

This awkwardly also highlights ignored externalities and implied awkward questions in ways essentially nobody is comfortable is with the implications of especially regarding free choice and perverse incentives where the "best" option still has messed up implications.
A mix of both. Ex Yugo army set up shop in and around Amsterdam bringing manpower and weapons and collaborated with existing dutch crime rings who supplied money and local expertise. This is all fairly well documented now.
> devices without public IPs (or a vpn) can connect to your bastion server

How does it punch through NAT? Or does the NATted device connect similarly to using ssh -R 1234:localhost:22 (just like CAs and session recording work with SSH as well, but I guess this project might make it more integrated and user-friendly with a nice GUI)?

PowerPC Macs were able to run the latest MacOS for 4 years, after the announcement, then Apple provided security updates. Your Mac Pro will be a useful device for over a decade, just like my 2009 iMac.

And it’s much more likely that Apple extends this period for x86 than shortens it, given they might not be able to support Windows on Apple Silicon. And because they might need more than 2 years to build Apple Silicon Macs with performance as high as the Kac Pro.

It's marketing speak geared towards managers who have no idea what SSH is or does.
Sorry but I'm not seeing a paywall with this article and I don't have an account with them. The full title is "Amazon will start displaying third-party seller names and addresses on its US site to bolster customer information and battle counterfeit products". TheVerge picked up on this after Business Insider reported it:

Nice theory. The big differentiator for homicides in the United States is proximity to the drug war.

There are more guns than humans in the United States. You'll find ownership of a gun and likelihood of committing homicide to correlate quite poorly; while ownership of a kilo of cocaine correlates quite strongly.

As you're indicating, in Europe, ownership of a kilo, a gun, and propensity to murder, all track quite closely.

This suggests a different set of policy-level decisions than the myopic focus on the tool of murder would.
It's a bit of an alien way of thinking to me because I don't know how to put a value on my free time, as it is not fungible. That time cannot be always be freely exchanged for time doing something else specific, or more productive. I certainly can't monetise that time easily, and if I could its value would probably not be related to my professional salary.

If I always spent money to save myself time in line with how much I am professionaly worth (eg. paying for a lawn mower, never cooking for myself etc.) I think I would quickly be broke.
How does this compare (performance-wise) to simply truncating all tables?
Only two people at the insurance co. know the numbers, so the knowledge is limited. This helps because less chance of a bad actor being involved if the info is limited to a very small circle.

We would be able to spot anomalies over time in number of winners of high prizes vs. what the probabilities say, and we would investigate it if anything looked off or suspicious.

We also carefully vetted the insurance co. and the people there that we work with.

These don't eliminate this risk entirely of course, but they help mitigate it.
They do mention it is 'street value', so it is properly qualified as far as I'm concerned.
So you initially claimed that the same sex relationship warning was neutral but now say you disliked the book because of it. Which is it?

Also, disliking a book that covers LGBT issues is fine, you dont have to like any book. But, disliking a book because it covers LGBT issues is indicative of a certain level of bigotry.

And it isn't enough. Not even close.

Boulder Valley: 13.8k/student. Pueblo: 10.5k/ea. Fort Morgan: 9.5k/student. Those are sufficiently widely varying that looking at "average spending" paints an inaccurate picture.

Durham public schools: 10.5k/ea. Chapel-Hill/Carrboro: 15k/ea.

Range of total spending per student spreads by over a factor of 4x.

Why!?!?

Why do people do this!?

If I want to ssh, I'll use ssh. I do not want or need a "web UI" in or for my ssh client.

Is it because I'm getting old? Do I not understand why these darn kids do what they do? Or has my 51 years on this planet taught me that the KISS principle reigns supreme and that "those who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it"?

Is it, in fact, just me who is mildly abhorred by this? Grimacing like Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino?
Hi, thanks for feedback. I am going to push changes to display only a snippets from the articles soon.
It's not exactly like that. For example, university official will track you down (through phone call, through help of local official or your high school official/teacher) if you didn't enroll. This is done to ensure people (especially from rural areas) don't give up their admission due to difficulties (for example, economical ones).

Obviously these doesn't help when some one takes your identity and enrolls on your behalf.

Even if there is rejection letter. It probably wouldn't make a difference to the subject of this article. A fake rejection can be easily fabricated (especially if the recipient doesn't know what a real one should look like.)

Also, the subject knows his/her score. The university has limited discretion to deny admission of people above the score threshold. At the end, it all comes down to low social economic status and corrupted officials working against the subject.

This misses using `git pull --rebase` [1] (or even better: `git config --global pull.rebase true`), which greatly simplifies things working with others, and avoids tons of extra merge commits. It also doesn't have the downside of rewriting remote history like a straight `git rebase` can.

> With "pure merge" strategies (without rebasing regularly, as suggested above), the history in the master branch will be interspersed with the commits from all the features being developed concurrently. Such a mixed-up history is harder to review. The exact commit times are usually not that important. It's better to have a history that's easier to review.

This seems to be a common sentiment. I don't get it, but maybe someone can explain what I'm missing?

I am a strong advocate of using pull requests to merge to master, and merging them using `--no-ff`. Each PR has a merge commit on master.

If you've ever worked on a feature branch (and have a local copy of it in your repository) it's simple to see when it's safe to delete, because you can literally trace it making its way into master (or a hotfix branch, if relevant). When you do squash or rebase merges, this feature goes away.

With any even moderately-sized feature (tens or more of commits, eg, a few days' work or more), the individual commits can sometimes contain value later. Doing a git blame months later, it's occasionally useful to diagnose why something is done a certain way. Squash merges lose this detail.

What do you get for all these tradeoffs that affect daily work -- a "clean history" on master? Wtf?

I'd rather look a list of tickets, merged PRs, or the release notes to see what's changed. If I really want to look at it in git I can do `git log --merges --oneline`.

The only time I ever scroll back through the tree looking at the actual graph is when I'm trying to figure out why some branch did or did not get merged somewhere, and this feature is compromised with rebase merges, and doesn't even exist with squash merges!

Squash merge (and to a lesser extent, rebase merge) make a bunch of useful things harder or impossible, and the only benefit I see is superficial and one I never use. Am I alone in this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills every time I see advocacy for a squash merge strategy.

(I'll leave fast-forward merge out: That keeps the "messy" history that squash advocates apparently don't like, but also makes the lineage of a feature branch confusing as a ff merge looks like work was just done on master directly. My probably naive assumption is that no one ever uses ff merge on master.)

My understanding is AP test results are usually used to grant credit for college classes, and not as an admission requirement? I guess it could be a factor in admissions, too, but I recall mostly people doing it to get a bit of a head start towards graduation, rather than to get a better shot at admission. (People passing AP tests are likely to get in _somewhere_, even if not their first choice)
I think it pays to be paranoid with hard drives. They all fail, it's just a matter of when.

ASIDE: I wish someone had a calculator for which drives were a good buy right now. They get to a certain point and the bank-for-the-buck ratio is for good up to only a certain size, then the prices jump.
Could you elaborate what the differences are so we all can get a clearer picture ?

Is your claim that western civilization and values are superior to all others ?

Does China for eg kidnap people from other countries on secret flights and then water board them on an island outside of all countries laws ?

Did China blanket an entire foreign country in carcinogenic chemicals that caused birth defects for generations ?

Was it the non west that imposed sanctions on Iraq that by conservative estimates killed hundreds of thousands of children ?

Was it the non west that was the only civilization to use nuclear weapons against a civilian population ?

Or is it that anything is allowed as long as you call yourself western and liberal ?
I wish RBAC was part of core rather than a paid addon. Oh well.
Yes. Upon further reflection, this competition actually looks like another step in that direction (see this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23784239).

Otherwise I agree, Gaussian Processes are nice and friendly, and work quite well for low-dimensional search (e.g., from a few to hundreds of hyperparameters) under very natural, general assumptions :-)
Doesn't this demonstrate why the touchbar isn't very useful?

Every part of this UI would be better without it--physical keys to play the samples, a big touchpad to use slider controls with, the hi-def screen to see it all happen.

Yes, but the restaurants have been put out of business by government order. This is effectively a Fifth Amendment “taking” and should be compensated.
Well, we can't reverse that now. We need to find other ways to deal with it because what we're doing now is failing everyone.
Hmm, that's quite a different kind of a beast.
