If I understand right, all they are doing is changing the per-script, per-module defaults to enable current language features, instead of having most features since about 2005 disabled by default.

Perl5 has a very strong position on backward compatibility. Even when they change behaviour or add new syntax, that's disabled by default unless a script or module explicitly asks for the new behaviour.

Each significant feature can be switched off or on per module. Even if the main program turns on features, they remain off for the modules used by the main program.

So as far as I can tell, the proposal is just to change this default, so that modern Perl5 features are available to new code by default, instead of having to be explicitly requested, and there's no radical change or incompatibility planned for v7.

That's a change of compatibility-first culture. It means scripts which don't specify what they do and don't want will indeed break with newer versions, occasionally. However Perl5 changes quite slowly, and it's unusual for something new to break something old anyway.

But it should be easy for scripts to specify what they want.

If there's a "no v7" directive that should be enough at the start of any script or module that wants to keep working while being insulated from future changes. That's not much different, in practice, than what they already have to do to ask for features they do use.

Another idea would be to have two search path directories, with different defaults in each, and modules install into the appropriate one according to module metadata. This would allow existing, old modules to carry on working in v7.
I have not seen your project earlier. I just checked it out.

Here is my feedback, hope it helps you.

First off, instead of showing off an api calls & response, show a use case. Make a simple site that utilises the API, then in the details page show the calls & response. Don't make api details your whole site.

I am someone that plays cards with my friends and I didn't understand the use case of the API.

API is the backend that you developed for some reason. Its nice you are sharing it. Show the reason. So that other can addon or make their own spin. Make a demo project using the API.

There really is no guarantee these things won’t happen to those companies - just like how there is no guarantee that CCP won’t have HKers or Uighurs or Tibet. You just have to be mindful of the authority of nations and hope you don’t get unlucky.

Mainstream media journalists regularly fabricate accusations and target people based on political agenda.

No, there are different solutions, and where I live the common practice is to perform the contactless operation while the cashier is still scanning the goods (and thus the total has not even been established), and just press ok when the final total is presented and be on your way. (if the total exceeds a certain number you will be prompted to enter your PIN, but you do not need to use your card again)

It pretty much is the same thing as swiping the magnetic stripe.

I've read out the information from the card myself and there are multiple demonstrations of it where they have a more powerful antenna and read it from peoples pockets in their wallets.
Tech human resources, legal, and recruiting are overwhelmingly white women, to wit no one cares. Truck drivers are 94% men, no one complains about that. The business and political community is hyperfocused on software engineering jobs for two reasons. Corporations want political support for H1-B. And, in some cases, STEM workers have high importance in influencing the political world as we saw with Facebook in the 2016 elections. Therefore, the political world is hyper-focused on those specific jobs to hire people that they think are sympathetic to their political parties, usually along race and gender lines.

>For example, if you believe I'm making poor use of my car and you think you could do more good with it, does that make it OK to steal it

I think that one should be skeptical of one's own rationalizations for something like that, and also consider all of the costs to everyone. Even if a law is unjust, the machinery that enforces it is going to use resources when the law is flouted. Even if there was no enforcement, any precautions against theft are going to have a cost. Lack of trust has profound effects indirectly.
Someone reached out to me and ask for learning HTML, CSS resources. I pointed him to freeCodeCamp. Though he doesn't always have internet access.

So I created an offline version of freeCodeCamp. With interactive challenges (let him practice, and check his code). It is fully in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (lightweight, cross-os, zero dependencies).

It is an offline website, generated by markdown files with a small nodejs program. I've managed to create the 10 lessons in the Basic HTML and HTML5: Responsive Web Design series.

Let me know what you think.
Brilliant. Roman numerals are, after all, just letters. The "why haven't they used them?" becomes pretty jarring once you think about it.
I think the solution is clear: If governments want to censor they should do it themselves not externalize costs to the foreign media company, meaning Facebook should give them access to an API/dashboard with all the posts created or viewed on Brazil and government employees should pick manually (or by algorithm) what to censor. After that any request of censoring anything coming from Brazil should be directed at the government and never again to Facebook itself.
How about you're a FAAMG or any other big data harvester and you analyse this data from millions of businesses for insider trading and other business opportunities? If you don't overplay your hand no one will find out, competitive advantage galore.

For some reason the myth that in the old days of the internet people used "handles" or nicknames and not real identities crops up here all the time. I can only assume people making the claim weren't on the internet in the 20th century and/or were on AOL.

On the Facebook of the 1990s, Usenet, people routinely posted with their real name/identity and real email address, and message headers showed each server the post passed through from its origin, the IP address of the poster (which could and did result in doxxing) and often an "abuse@ISP" email address to complain about the post/poster.
Résonaances: Death of a Forgotten Anomaly
Humans also have only two eyes, so lets limit the AV to two visual spectrum only cameras, and while we're at it, use mainly the mirrors to look backwards (no repositioning cameras so only one looks backwards! Humans can't do that).

That may be enough for Level 5, but the entire idea is to exceed human driving capabilities (say, in dense fog). More sensors are an obvious advantage to use. Obviously not enough by themselves, but not a distraction either.
It sounds like you and your team are taking a great approach to knowledge sharing. Thanks for sharing! The promotion requirements from the top communicate that knowledge sharing matters. And the way your team shares knowledge focuses on creating content people want. It's not just documenting because you "should."

This is totally in-line with what I've learned about effective knowledge sharing. People tend to ad-hoc share knowledge as needed instead of thoroughly maintaining a wiki. This isn't bad. With ad-hoc sharing, like with your Loom video, you have a clear recipient in mind. Your effort is valuable.

(I'm building an app to help you keep your private notes better organized so this ad-hoc sharing is easier. In bytebase.io you write your notes like you're texting. "Texting" lets you be fast and messy. It also adds modularity to your notes. Modular notes are easier to organize).
I struggle to imagine how this definition in the Linux kernel's license:

> The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.

can be seen as "not clear cut" with regard to whether obfuscated source code counts.

It plainly rules out obfuscation.

(Unless you genuinely prefer editing the obfuscated version. Which you provably don't if obfuscation is done just for release.)
If it's ok to criticize the percentage of whites, is it ok to criticize the percentage of Ashkenazi Jewish people?

If you think it's to criticize the number of Jewish people but not non Jewish white people, why is that not bigotry?
Sorry, you're conflating two entirely different things. An individual platform or service choosing to moderate content (which basically every website / app involving UGC does in one form or another) is in no way the same as censorship by the state.
I remember a photo of a Gamergate group as compared to all of the HuffPo journalists together. The latter was nothing but white women, as compared to the actually varied racial and gender composition of the former. Physician, heal thyself, I guess.

It seems difficult for a canvas-based spreadsheet to do native scrolling. The DOM is drawn in advance and there is no cost to scroll. But canvas is different, every frame of scrolling means calculation. In this case, the use of native scrolling will cause jamming and poor experience.
This reminds me of two mind-boggling discoveries I’ve had about the human mind.

The first is that the two halves of your brain act somewhat independently. And in rare cases, people’s left and right halves are “split” apart, and they act entirely independently - e.g. their left and their right hands will act separately, or even argue with each other. CGP Grey made a great video about this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYbgdo8e-8

The other is that most people have a “voice” inside their head - e.g. when they read, they hear their own voice inside their head reading; their thoughts are like sentences they “hear;” they could look in the mirror have a conversation with themselves. Some ~10% of people do not have this internal monologue.

Perhaps I’m wrong but I understood the comment to mean that the person went from Singapore to Thailand, bought drugs there, then forgot to get rid of them before returning to Singapore. So Singapore executed them, not Thailand.
To add to that, that's counting Jews as white. When you don't, two very unfortunate things happen: first non Jewish whites are now the most underrepresented category, and two you end up sounding like Charlie Chaplin with a mustache.

Completely agree, though i'll also add that journalists want a cudgel to beat tech with for a variety of reasons, and diversity is the favored cudgel du jour to beat everyone with.
nurses, teachers, HR and many more professions are overwhelmingly female dominated, yet nobody is complaining about that, is it? why does gender and race matter when what it takes is skills, competence, intelligence? why is it so hard to understand that univariate analysis is nonsense?
One also have to account for T-cell immunity which is double that of normal anti body immunity. 14.5 percent of Sweden capital Stockholm population had antibodies according to COVID-19 test lab Werlabs. If you take 14.5 + 2x14.5 you get 43.5 percent that have immune system protection from COVID-19 in Stockholm. 43.5 percent is close to when we get herd immunity. In smaller cities in Sweden there is not the same population immunity so it may still spread there up to the herd immunity point. People still can get infected by a spreader if about 43.5 percent have immune system response.

I think he is promoting that. This article is written in response to the steady drumbeat of "diversity in tech" hit pieces in the tech media over the last few years. Its just pointing out the hypocrisy of the tech media on this issue.
I have two (weak) connections to folks connected to Knuth. The first is in the bibliography for a paper he wrote in High School--check out Fibonacci Nim. I got to work with the author of the paper for a number of years. Exceedingly bright.

The other was a key part of the MWC story. Bob called up Knuth asking if he knew of any bright programmers and Steve had been a masters student of Knuth's.
Open source means you can read the source.

The idea that all my work must be FOSS is somebody else's ideal, and one that has kept a lot of people I know from getting paid. Meanwhile, plenty of code, probably most running your world, is purely in the dark and definitely not open source.

Whatever you think about "license proliferation", that's like, your opinion. What world are you from that I can't have my own license for my own work? What kind of lemmings notion is it that I should only use a well known, open source license, especially a license that explicitly gives my work away uncompensated to random people on the internet?

You are so brainwashed with slogan terminology that you think Open Source has exactly one meaning, and that meaning is not even that the source code is open? Jesus, this forum is retarding sometimes. FOH with yr downvotes.

Edit, furthermore, I have dozens of totally FOSS code projects out there, downloaded millions of time per month. Is your business 100% open source, down to how to track your users? Stop telling people what they should do out here.

Again, China doesn’t officially ban Facebook or google, they won’t tell them what laws they aren’t following and anyways, China doesn’t really do rule of law. Google can’t go to a judge and say, ”hey, I want to prove I’m doing things right, see this Chinese constitution guarantees freedom of speech!” Nope, China doesn’t work like that, officials make opaque arbitrary decisions on what to allow or not.
This demonstrates yet again how encryption technology should be in software, not hardware, in open-source, not closed-source, and in the decentralised full control of every user, not centralised self-serving entities.
Ah. The app is, but the service itself isn't.
Did you read the articles?

From the first link:

> All in all, TikTok should be treated like any social media app: one that can be used with relative safety if you’re aware of the information it gathers and what it does with the data.

The second one seems like a security vulnerability found in TikTok - what separates that vulnerability from say, this one that allowed any user to delete any YouTube video?

I have two editions of TAoCP. One is from the first publication way back when. The latest has the third revision of Volume 1-3. It has the foldout.

There is an important difference in this instance - the US is applying these to a foreign company, not on its own citizens like China.

Are you saying that this is manufactured, a "liberal agenda", or something else?

Diversity fosters an environment with less marginalization and discrimination.

I could be wrong, but I think women in tech want more women in tech, and candidates from diverse backgrounds want more diversity.
Journalism is one of the fields where it's mandatory to speak, act, and even think according to specific cultural practices, which is always going to lead to diversity problems.
> “rule of magistrates”

A legal system where judicial precedent has the force of law is called a Common Law system, as opposed to a Civil Law system.

Common Law is less of an American thing and more of a former British empire thing.
The US is not really better for those of us that are not US citizens though. Yes, in theory, US stands for freedom and democracy, but any protections are protections for US citizens, not for Australian or EU citizens.

So from a purely rights and spying perspective having the app be a US app vs a China app makes little difference to me (not that I'm young enough to be a TikTok user anyway).

As soon as you add 'national security' clauses and hide everything away, you don't really have due process any more. You have two paths. The public one, and the one where it's possible to assert (possibly falsely) that it's a matter of national security.

> Dear Hacker News, if you really want to make a difference on the ground...

At risk of being cynical, dear Hacker News - avoid protests and think about how to be effective if you want to get involved in politics. I can count on not very many fingers how many times I've seen protests accomplish anything useful.

Protests, as a political tool, are for minority opinions to keep themselves in the spotlight using tactics a little bit like a pufferfish. If an opinion has the numbers there are much more effective political routes to take.

Political success, ultimately, comes from persuading neutral parties to support a cause or even at a pinch political opponents to become neutrals. Waving placards and chanting doesn't actually do either of those things effectively. Door-knocking and pamphlet distribution is more effective and more sustainable.
Sure, if you've implemented SRP as suggested sidethread, you don't need to send the password over the wire when logging in.

But you're not talking about that. You, rl3, are just misunderstanding what a password is.

If the user types qwe123 to log in, and you hash that in Javascript to 200820e3227815ed1756a6b531e7e0d2, and send 200820e3227815ed1756a6b531e7e0d2 to the server, then the user's plaintext password is 200820e3227815ed1756a6b531e7e0d2.
This is a really good suggestion - my trust in that light is currently zero as I can’t get it to trigger reliably.

Solving that issue is a rather more obvious way forward. Wood, trees etc.
There are a lot of foreign-owned companies long before Tesla. In my home town Changzhou there was a famous US company called METTLER TOLEDO which exists since 1992. I lived there 20+ years ago. I had a lot of friends worked for the company. All the town knew it was a wholly owned(独资）US company. Here's the only source I can find but in Chinese.

It mentioned 独资。There are other companies had Chinese partners called 合资 which means joined-adventure. They are different but 独资 exist as opposed to MSM claimed.

I think you're arguing a strawman?

It's not intentionally limiting to match humans - it's recognizing that you need extremely high quality interpretation of visual data in order to achieve level 5 and if you have that then you don't need lidar because it has become redundant.

If you believe this argument to be true, then investment in lidar is a waste of time at best and at worst it's a distraction from getting the visual interpretation where it needs to be. Arguably companies that focus on it could be 'doomed' because of the investment cost/wrong focus, I think that's what they were getting at.

The dense fog is a good counter example - does lidar help in fog? I'd wonder if it would reflect off the fog?

Once you've got the visual part working at human level then adding additional lidar probably doesn't hurt (assuming you can get the costs down).
Today we can guarantee (barring compiler errors) memory safety in safe rust, but not unsafe rust.

Not quite. An unsafe function can export its lack of safety to other code. If an unsafe function can be called with parameters which make it violate memory safety, it opens a hole in memory safety.
