Yeah. The Modi government/BJP is equivalent to right wing authoritarian governments around the world. Tories in the UK, Netanyahu’s government in Israel, etc.

The Republican Party is on its own little island far far away from any other normal political party in the world. For example, the Republican Party is the only major democratic political party in the entire world that denies the existence of anthropogenic climate change. There are major right wing political parties worldwide that may claim the costs of doing anything exceeds the benefits or that we need to wait for better solutions, etc but no major party denies the basic scientific fact of it happening the way the Republicans do.

There is also other stuff like the prevalence of young earth creationism, the overt religiosity, the lack of any economic principles (e.g. just see their rhetoric on deficits when there is a Democrat in charge vs what they do when they are in charge) etc that sets them apart from major right wing political parties worldwide.

I think it makes perfect logical sense though. Any (large) business is vulnerable to the government. Having a large amount of control over the media allows those companies to mitigate the risk from the government a little.

Fair warnings and a genuine suggestion. Thank you :)
Oh look at that... the title changed. How predictable.
It was a cheaper design, and better for enriching uranium. At the time it was built there were already many passively-safe reactors in operation.
yeah I ended up leaning towards something similar, but avoided the whole issue of naming the "thing" by instead naming it based on the class of events contained in the table...ended up calling it tracking_events, and making it reference the "thing" as trackable_type,trackable_id (ala polymorphic relation in Rails world).

but yeah, naming things...wonder how much time I've spent pondering over names in my career (probably too much haha)
A lot of copyright claims on online platforms are not actually copyright infringement, but will have all the same repercussions as if they were. That's really the crux of the problem.
surely you mean The Clangers?
It’s to solidify a certain position before someone can. Suppose a state or states have a law that is consumer friendly and has teeth behind it through private right of action and penalties. Businesses don’t like that so they lobby US senators and Reps to pass a law that preempts those state laws it has no enforcement or penalties. Even better, the new law will, on the surface, appear to “take the issue seriously.” But how can it if it has no penalty? This can happen on the state level too—a good example is the Michigan VRPA which sought to limit data sharing through penalty. It started to work, so state legislature took away the penalties. Oh well.
Very impressive work for a student, the GCC codebase isn't known for being approachable.

Can we expect Clang to implement the same trick in a few months time?
A market also has the option to decide that a type of product is simply not economically viable.

However, certain products, while not being economically viable, can be socially necessary, so alternative models need to be found. News obviously falls in this category, similarly to public transport, healthcare and education. In those cases, other means of supporting the product can be found - usually, direct state intervention.
He tweeted this out recently:

His wiki entry:

> Graeber's parents, who were in their forties when Graeber was born, were self-taught working-class intellectuals in New York.[7] His parents are Jewish.[8] Graeber's mother, Ruth Rubinstein

Jews also control disproportionate wealth, and wield disproportionate power. Yet I doubt Graeber would have agreed that this is also obviously unfair, that it is a problem, and that it ought to be fixed.
That is the project we are trying to support with our work. Unfortunately, this means I have to solve lots of hard problems like scaling, usability, modular verification, etc.
I didn't find it that hard. Just realize the different backgrounds and cultures that all these projects originate from. They all have their own ways of doing it.

man pages work pretty well for a lot of stuff that is POSIX. C interfaces and basic CLI programs you'll all find documented in man (with documentation beyond what is specified in POSIX).

The GNU folks have tried to push their info system, so maybe you'll find more details there for their commands. I guess most people use man because it's quick to access and a single page is easy to grep through. If that doesn't help, I'll just do a web search.
One of my pet-peeves on a similar note is the inconsistencies between different ssh commands on if it's -p or -P that signifies the target port.

Apart from the obvious compatibility and legacy factor, I think a major reason is that by the time someone has both enough knowledge and experience to formulate a proper solution and have felt the pain-points, they're already deep enough that they've internalized that this is The Way It Is and are somewhat comfortable with it, those annoying flags aside.

We tend to settle on the lowest common denominator, because consistency and time-to-ready trumps any actual improvements. For example, I'd so much prefer vim bindings in tmux but stopped using customizations like that completely since it turns out it's less of a hassle to just get used to the crappy standard ones instead of customizing it on every new host I start up.

If you can't get your friends off Facebook, good luck getting engineers off POSIX.
Some developers have never written a cron job.

I think the point here is, SQLite setup would provide satisfactory results at this scale.

If the choice is betweeen a PAAS database offering and SQLite, you can pick SQLite. If you have skills / are prepared for managing dbserver yourself, then do that.
It's indeed goldmine for anyone who's into history. I'm debating myself if this sub is good enough to keep Reddit around or am I better off to just stay completely away.
They were rather standoffish in their communication despite me attempting to be polite as possible to try and get my stuff back, so I did not want to continue with them.

These days I do a better job of keeping code in github even if I'm the only user, and backups can go anywhere as long as you're not relying on the same provider.
I agree with the idea that Republicans are extremely different than right wing parties worldwide.

However, they are no less socialist than anyone else. The only difference is Republican socialism flows upwards.

I mean, what could be more socialist than demanding a foreign company he sold and deciding which limited sets of companies is allowed to buy it. And we don’t even need to get into the outright bribery where they are demanding a cut of the transaction.

That behavior, even without the open corruption, is beyond what most major center left parties in the world are proposing now that Corbyn does not lead UK’s Labour.
I've seen a big international bank internal network shut down because someone added a group mail of +- 10 000 people to a thread with jokes.

Significant percent of these people were on holidays at the time so they responded automatically to each other with "out of office" messages and finally the network couldn't handle it.

Emails are serious business ;)
What Is Containerd?
Except there was no shortage of apps that made the change silently, without asking (or asking for one, and changing many), hijacking defaults.

I too find the new system annoying, but its better than go hunting thru file formats looking for what had been changed silently.

Put another way: modern chemistry is in many ways a descendant of alchemy. It's the outcome of people pursuing ultimately failing experiments but identifying other interesting things along the way. It laid the foundation for laboratory practices and uncovered a lot of the basics.

Even if all of these experiments fail, chances are some of them will come across findings that are useful in unexpected ways.

If nothing else falsifying these theories will help create a baseline of effects that needs to be accounted for in the investigation of future theories like this.

Yeah, that was the sort of BigLaw I was comparing to big tech in the grandparent.
I noticed this as well. Not only is it again asking me what browser I still prefer (still Firefox, thanks for asking), it shows it in a special category, at the top, and took the liberty to add itself to the bottom bar (next to the start button), without any questions asked. Just appeared after the update.

I thought Microsoft learnt it's lesson already with forcing people to use their browser, but seems not.
That's awesome, thanks for the share.

For my homelab I use proxmox on a couple of machines and it works great for managing containers (in terms of LXC containers that would be more of a traditional VM) and it works great. Most people/companies don't need the complexities that come with Kubernetes or other tools like that.

I use Power Thesaurus[1], which is crowd-sourced and frequently has words that are well suited to technical use-cases.

In your case, I looked at synonyms for "containers" and found some likely candidates such as "holders" or "receptacles", so `receptacle_events`.

> Even if that was the case, you can still frame the question in terms of cost/benefits. The electronic test is, let's say, 10 times more expensive than a basic one. Is it more reliable than taking 10 basic tests (maybe at different times) and averaging the results? Probably not.

Food that costs ten times more usually doesn't taste ten times as good. Perhaps twice as good.

It can still be worth it.

Convenience and time have value, too.
Thinking about it I'm a bit surprised that Reddit never built a marketplace product for subreddits. Looking back a few years I could see that actually being a pretty good product for them which would have been cool. You're definitely right that if they added it now it'd use their coins or do something utterly insane to make it terrible.
I think generally normalized quantities maintain their original units whereas in your ratio case the unit is dropped. Units in the abstract sense I guess, such as this is a measurement along this vector or this is a ratio of any vector.
Hi thanks so much for your feedback. I've implemented better docs and have added multiple demos with and without cache.

Regarding the JS embed. I implemented an svg implementation which, if used in your website, it will make the image clickable. However, this is scrubbed for security reasons on Github markdown.
What is automatic here? It's clear from the article what this means.
I'm not quite sure why you view open source and capitalism as being in conflict.

If I'm buying a mouse, I'll pay a lot more for one with an open source firmware, schematics, and design. It costs no more to product.

Mostly, there are problems of mindset. In most industries, keeping this stuff secret has minimal competitive upside, and a lot of downside.
I really, really hope that you're wrong.

I optimistically hope a not-too-future (within 10y?) major version update of Windows is in reality a *nix distribution. As long as they can keep runtime compatibility with older versions of Windows software, I think it'd be a big win for Microsoft for various reasons.

The only real challenge would be to get driver vendors in line.
There is only one way to truly understand. Take a slice of bread, bring a stapler, staple the slice of bread to a tree somewhere, snap a good picture of it and upload the picture to the subreddit. Then you will understand. It is the only way. It cannot be explained, it needs to be experienced in order to be understood.
Thanks so much for your points. I've used your suggestion and made the description clearer.

I've also added non-cached examples

Windows 10 actually fixed that problem. For the most part, apps can't change defaults silently anymore. The settings page for changing default apps has also been revamped, so it's a lot easier to use than in previous versions.

It would have been marvelous if Microsoft stopped right there. Instead, they chose to annoy users with an unskippable dialog box whenever a new app is installed that claims to know how to handle a PDF, JPG, or whatever. Fuck it, every app and their dog knows how to handle PDFs these days. I'm just waiting for the day when Windows suggests Slack as the default music player.
please email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com so they can fix this. (this also goes for yreg: randomly commenting is not an effective way to get the mods to look at something, but emailing will get a response in my experience)
Profile-Guided Optimization for the Kernel
I actually had to use Edge the other day because Firefox couldn't fill out the form on the pdf I had.
Why do you need a buffer? If you’re grandfathering in old and limiting new users more, what is gameable? Besides a small portion of people registering accounts in the short time between announcement and implementation?
Yes, part of it. Web is more constrained environment than native. Many seemingly normal APIs and features aren't available. Apple is hostile to web as well so you don't even have features from the standards such as push notifications.
As much as this is also annoying (and Microsoft trying to goad the user into setting Edge as the default), I would much rather this than programs being able to silently set defaults.
I suppose it's more automatic than manually splitting up your source to facilitate parallel compilation, but I agree, it's not very clear.

Perhaps it would have been better to describe it as intra-process parallel compilation in GCC, or something along those lines.
For the old fashioned test, you still have to observe timing. I assume the digital test has a timer built-in?
How is compensation in equity short term? It usually comes with a vesting period so that the reward is in the future.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stockcompensation.asp

https://www.equilar.com/reports/3-equity-vesting-schedules.h...

The only thing that could incentivize more long term performance would be even longer vesting periods, but that comes with downsides too.
Maybe if people who post any kind of self-promotion for content they create weren’t so aggressively punished on Reddit so often, maybe it’d get more people sharing on it.

As an example, I was once shadowbanned on the entire Reddit site by an admin for posting two links in gaming subreddits to show off a game I had spent almost six months developing full-time as part of a small team. I didn’t submit too many other links because Reddit was my main source of discovering content, but I commented a ton on the site, easily had hundreds of comments.

I was proud of what I had accomplished and I wanted to share with what I thought was my community at the time. I didn’t even realize I was shadowbanned and was commenting for months after until a moderator informed me and said they were manually approving my comments on a particular subreddit.

I tried their appeals “process” and never got a response, which is apparently is how 99% of appeals works on that site.

Harsh lesson I learned there. I never submitted any link for anything there ever again and didn’t read or comment again for a couple of years afterwards, in which I created a new account to do so.
Colorectal Cancer Treatments
In the Netherlands the recommended intake is 5 mcg, that's equivalent to 200 iu. As far as I understand the US recommends 600.

Both are very far below the 4000 that's often cited here. So I think that 4000 is not a recommended intake but a limit before it becomes risky. For normal people it doesn't make sense to then aim for that maximum dosage.
Rise is a bit much. We barely think of the public facing Bitbucket or Sourceforge. I bet both are bigger than Sourcehut still.
Just want to add and let people know that antirez (creator of Redis) writes so many insightful code comments that you almost always learn something new when you go through his projects.

He has also written an article on how he writes the code comments [0]; I've been using Design, Why, and Teacher comments a lot in my last projects and they have been very helpful, especially if you come back to the project after a long time or introduce a coworker to the code base.

The criticisms levied at upstart there are more about lack of features, not really about overall approach. It's easier to add features than it is to fix a deficient design.

Moreover, I'm not really so sure a couple of those features even belong in an init system.

Debian's decision effectively doomed upstart and led to an init system monoculture. The practical upshot is that no competition for systemd means no pressure to improve. Even for systemd it was a bad decision.
You mean like how repairing roads should be a no brainer, but no-one wants to pay for it?
Yes, UnitInterval is a really bad name for a single number. Astonishingly, it has 30 upvotes on SO.
Much like Sourceforge isn’t and Bitbucket is not the same sort of competitor or threat as a couple of years ago. The private version that is sold (Stash?) could be though.
extrapolating from "per-million" to "per-thousand" to "percent", how about "perone" or "perunit". foo_perunit = foo_percent/100.

The thing is I tried out Edge because Microsoft said it is private, etc.

Chrome is less noisy than Edge. When I opened the new Edge, requests were sent out to taboola.com , doubleclick.com, and other ad networks.

And who wants ads on the home page? It's so slow to load.

Instead of pushing it down out throats, if they say what is actually better, people will use it. Is it faster, more private, etc?
What's strange or new about this? A new program was installed to deal with PDFs so Windows asks if you want to use a different program for opening PDFs. I can do without the special treatment for Edge though, there's nothing that makes it special other than that you don't need to install Chrome on new Windows machines anymore.

From a technical standpoint, Edgium and Edge are significantly different. The migration to Edgium was actually surprisingly smooth, I've gotten Chrome updates that broke more spectacularly and that's the exact same browser.

As another comment here already suggested, there's a good chance this has nothing to do with Microsoft because Firefox registered itself as a PDF handler in the last major update.
> ...non-transparency in... pricing, licensing, telemetry, file formats, product usage documentation or even its APIs...

Despite that, Windows is easily one of the least annoying OSes that I have to deal with.

I wish I could run it on my phone.

Instead I either have to accept the walled gardens where there is zero transparency or spend all my time hacking my phone to give me the same kinds of freedoms that I enjoy on Windows.

No, I'm interested in having a short male-female extension cable plugged into my monitor so I can use that slot when I switch between my computers. Currently I have to change the TB3/USB-C cable directly to the monitor twice a day: once in the morning to plug in work laptop, and again in the evening to switch to my private desktop after work day.

I wouldn't want to wear out the slot in the expensive monitor, but rather have a short extension permanently attached just for manual cable plugging purposes.

Those stories are always entertaining. But honestly, those organisations only have themselves to blame.

Filtering and stopping these internal chains shouldn't be any harder than basic spam filtering. Mostly easier, because your filter inputs are not as adversarial.
Perhaps, yes. It was the latency of the network calls that was killing performance, so something local, or even redis on localhost, would have been better.
