It's scary business doing anything like that if you are living in Iran. Just read[1] what Behdad (guy who finally merged it) went through when he visited Iran recently. I don't blame them to be scared.

My three year old and I have been watching rocket launches since he was 18 months old. He expects all rockets to land back on earth now.

I love that he's growing up with the idea that we don't need to throw away giant piles of metal just to launch something into space.
Holy shit this takes me back!!

If you are looking for a Rust native, not too complicated implementation of canvas api, check out https://github.com/cytecbg/gpucanvas. It's a rust port of nanovg.

Check the demo by running 'cargo run --example demo'.
Yes, we will have to adapt. That doesn’t change the fact we also must try to slow and minimise it as much as is possible. Adapting to two degrees is probably an order of magnitude easier than adapting to four or five degrees.

We rich westerners will most likely only be inconvenienced. We have our AC and we can afford more expensive food. If you live close to the coast or a river you might need to move.

The greatest problem we will have to face is probably the huge waves of refugees from the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. Not only from starvation, but from conflicts about e.g., water.

At some point you have to choose what to do, and that's always going to involve unknowns. For instance: 40 years ago, the USA could have chosen to continue building out nuclear power. Not accelerate the deployment, mind you, merely continue the roll out apace. If we had done so, we would be completely free of coal and gas today. Not maybe 30 years from now if we hustle, today. One could rage all day against the risks of another meltdown that this would entail, but when one considers that the "reasonable cool-headed alternative" we chose instead was to pump the atmosphere full of CO2, suddenly that doesn't seem too bad.

It's easy to rant about the negatives of any given tradeoff, but for the rant to be meaningful, it has to be compared to the alternatives, which in this case are "do nothing, adapt to climate change" and "spend truly mind-boggling sums of money to accelerate renewable rollout." Neither of those is good. I'd personally prefer to spend the money, but I don't get to make this choice, and since "do nothing, wait and adapt" seems to be the default alternative, and it's chock-full of unknowns, it's hard for me to say that the geoengineers are significantly worse, even though their risk profile is, as you point out, steep.

i3-gaps makes it a much better experience, in my opinion.
My opinion is that it is possible. But if you are rigorous about what "good" and "bad" means, then no because there's always going to be someone who thinks different. Can we say Mozart was a good composer? I'm pretty sure you can find music experts who would say no, even though the majority would say yes. I personally don't like the idea that art evaluation is completely subjective because then I can just spit on a canvas and say it's art and you don't have arguments to say it's bad art when in reality we "know" it's bad. Happens a lot with music.
Could you speak to security of information that I allow Slapdash to access? I'd be very interested in using this, but how do I know the sensitive information that I give you access to is secure?
That would make a great article for HN.
State law vs federal law. Amazon case was a matter of federal law so it would not govern here.
Yes. The culture decided it was so, and therefore it was. The majority of the United States seems to think the Bill of Rights is good, and therefore it is. The majority of Europeans seems to think the European Union is good, and therefore it is. Other cultures may not agree, but that doesn't matter.

> with concurrent mode i think of what could be, web applications that can compete against native for the first time

Native apps feel better than web apps because they have robust UI libraries that web apps do not. React concurrent mode will have zero effect on that.

If the argument is "React concurrent mode will make web apps faster so that they feel more native", my response would be to use something like Svelte, which is available today and is considerably faster than React. React is slow.

Concurrent mode may make React faster but it'll just be making up for React's past mistakes, not the web's.
I lived in Syria before the war and stuff, even back in 2010, because of the US export laws Syrians were banned from downloading the most basic shit like Java runtime, adobe flash player, and Nvidia gpu drivers, Skype, Messengers like Yahoo etc...

And perhaps a little unpaid ad:

> PS: A Japenese entrepeneur sells DPHPDMA devices, which are little dongles plugged directly into a Displayport output and contain a microcontroller powered by DP_PWR, which intercepts the EDID communication etc. and essentially performs EDID emulation in hardware (since GPU manufacturers disable software EDID emulation for consumer cards). They're like 50 bucks plus international shipping each.
Iran is repressive, and fraught with problems, but it's not a dictatorship. There's a reasonably intricate bureaucracy, much of which is semi-democratic: for example, the supreme leader's preferred presidential candidate doesn't always win. The current president, Rouhani, is a moderate, and is not especially liked by the hard-liners. It's pretty crazy that your comment comparing it to North Korea and insinuating that someone would be tortured and executed for merging a Github PR is top rated.
From someone who participates in this I would disagree. Bodybuilding at the highest level isn't really pushing any new boundaries. It's pretty well known 'how much' you can take (Dallas McCarver being a good example of that), and the compounds being taken aren't cutting edge or novel.

It's Novolog, Chinese HGH (because holy fuck is HGH expensive), several grams of Test and a rotating cycle of various compounds depending on which part of prep you're at, (ie wet compounds when you're putting on weight and dry compounds when you're cutting and in show prep to summarize roughly). There isn't really anything going on that isn't covered by the r/steroids wiki.

Perhaps Olympic level athletes are a better target, because bodybuilders aren't using any novel compounds, they buy what Chinese markets have available for purchase to synthesize.
Not exactly the same situation, but see what happened to Behdad Esfahbod, maker of Harfbuzz, which is used in Android, Chrome, Firefox and other things:

> The reasons for that are performance. So that one doesn't have to assume everything aliases everything else.

Can you expand on that? I don't understand.

Edit: I see the answer in one of your other comments:

> If len and array are both of the same type then the compiler must assume they can alias (or one of them is char*). One has to explicitly state with restrict that they cannot alias.

I'd happily take that hit. I can put restrict in the hot paths of my code. I'm tempted to say I want restrict to be the default, but I haven't thought that through.
1. There is a difference between jailing/torturing someone and a private company restricting its user base.

2. Countries have the right to have trade sanctions towards other countries. Does US abuse its rights some times? Absolutely. But does not make it not their right.
Amazon case was a matter of a federal law on pre and post shift activities.

This case is about a CA state law, so Amazon case would not apply.
We actually went with knex/objection specifically because there was a planned migration to postgres that it would simplify, and we'd be able to migrate different databases in stages.

Plus it was integrated into feathers, and knex simplifies hook-based query building logic.
Let's talk about the "why not" for a second.

The incumbents have 200 years of collective head start over SpaceX, which started from scratch in 2002. They had 18 years to use that advantage to beat everyone else to reusable space access while remaining in the cherry procurement positions. Instead, they mismanaged, wrecked their quality culture, and lobbied for more handouts.

Unable to compete on merit, schedule,or price, ULA is reduced to buying another congressman, who's implying SpaceX is a security threat via the China card.

I assume they're saying that, in an absolute sense, all systems of law are arbitrary and capricious. Some might be much better than others, but none are sufficiently fair or transparent to be "good".

The extent to which you agree with that is a question of political philosophy :).
> but the enemy usually has the intelligence services to know it anyway

Depends per subject and intelligence service and enemy (there is more than one).

> I don't think secrecy is important in national security anymore.

Why?

Think of it this way. I'm Dutch. Our secret services hacked into the GRU's camera system. This allowed attribution. Our secret services also did the physical last mile infiltration of Stuxnet.

Did I, as random Dutch citizen have to know this? No. As the enemy does not know it, and will know it when the Dutch population knows. These are two examples where a need to know basis makes sense, and is very limited.

> Is the correct spelling color or colour? The answer to that is cultural, and therefore subjective.

This argument doesn't really work; it would be equally valid if you rephrased the question as "is the correct spelling 'thing' or 'thnig'?"

There is a difference of opinion on 'color', and none on 'thing', but they're equally "cultural".
To be openly judged at something, you need to openly lay out your plans and then try to make it happen. If it worked out as expected - you're good at it.

If you think this is stupid, just think about all the times western politicians have made laws and rules for tech stuff they don't understand.

Some years ago, the CEO and Chairman of Telefonica/Movistar, who should have a minimum understanding of how the internet works, said Google should pay them money because, and I quote him, Telefonica had all the infrastructure, the customer support and Google only had algorithms.

If this kind of stupidity comes from a guy like this, imagine what could come out the rulers of a theocratic regime.

The Cryo tool really should be open source. Closed source binaries should not interact with Tor. You are hinting that it leaks the IP over the Tor channel -- the behavior needs to be easily verifiable to the user, and the source should be available so folks can fix privacy or security bugs which can put your users at risk.

None of this precludes the sale of your $20 lifetime license; but you are probably better off selling some kind of support license or other intangible thing and liberate the code.

Personally my ideal living space would be a huge highrise built on top of a grocery store and a transit station and next to a park. But many people are just so opposed to this kind of urbanism that I think it's always worth bringing up alternatives. I lived in a flat European city too and loved it.
Surely Apple can automatically add xx minutes a day to their paycheck or ask them to leave xx minutes early to make up for it.

This is a non-brainier, the employee is still at the premises and cannot leave or clock in until this required thing is done. Imagine a job where you had to do a 1 hour makeup to start the job. Paid or not?
no, the nytimes is no better overall. they still have some good longer-form investigative pieces, but that's probably <1% of their volume. the rest is the same slanted, stimulant filler (corona all the time!) as other outlets.

From a totally lay perspective, I don't disagree.

If I were in a hypothetical situation where I was an hourly worker and I had to spend 15 minutes at the beginning and end of the day setting up and tearing down my workspace, I would certainly expect that I would be paid for that time. But it's not clear that would be mandatory. (But maybe because I'd be on the premises?)

As you say, I'm sure these nuances have been analyzed to death and it does seem as if the courts have consistently taken a line that activities outside of the principal activities themselves (e.g. helping customers), even if required, mostly don't need to be compensated.
Quite the misrepresentation of the comment
Couple ways to read this:

1. repo owner is justified. Understandable from the lens of living under an oppressive regime that could use anything to justify your imprisonment or whatnot... Even if he has good intentions, fear of disproportionate response keeps him from collaboration

2. repo owner is just not being friendly. The risk is so minuscule here that any intelligent person would just merge a PR. After all, theyre having a discussion in a public forum... so they've already past the point of "no contact"...

3. repo owner has government ties.
Who are the others?
Yeap. It is only “bad” when an Iranian is doing it. When they impose sanctions to kill literally children [1] they are civil human being.

At the moment, the easiest way to unlock functionality is to connect an app. We will be building a lot of the interesting commands to start, so there should be no work required and should help the "blank canvas" problem.

However, custom commands are quite powerful, but we don't do a good job showcasing what they can do and how you can create them. Our team, for example, has a set of shared commands which streamlines a lot of our day-to-day work, but it's unclear to other what might be good commands to create.

Improving the command building experience and complimenting it with templates is definitely at the top of our list of things to improve.

This looks like an amazingly fun topic to work on.
I don't think it's off topic :) This is a really useful and I suspect under-rated feature. There was a similar feature in an older version of the Livescribe digital pen software. You could search for any text string, without having run the handwriting to text function. This was incredibly useful as you could search for terms not in the dictionary (so for example in my lab book I could search for gene names that handwriting to text would routinely scramble).

Sadly they removed it, and I've never seen anything similar again (with the exception of the DTP-RP1 example you mention).

It has nothing do with if you can or not. It depends on if you do something to attract their negative attention.

Once you're being "investigated" anything you've said or done, your entire history is up for grabs. If that's not enough, the "investigators" will create the "evidence" or find "witnesses" who can claim you've said/done horrible* things so they can quickly handle the punishment.

Astute observers will see some parallels with other groups.

* For whatever today's definition of "horrible" is.
A primary concern with "the news" is that it has no incentive to be correct, especially when it is reporting on predictions. Consider a situation where a respected economist releases a report that predicts a high likelihood of economic recession. "The news" will circulate something like "HIGH PROBABILITY OF RECESSION, SAYS FAMED ECONOMIST". The impending recession will be the talk of the people for the next several weeks.

If the recession arrives, "the news" will report on the economic bloodbath, credit itself for reporting on the prediction of the recession in a timely manner, and give itself awards for accuracy in reporting.

If the recession does not arrive, "the news" will report on the surprising market strength and why economists predicted the future incorrectly, credit itself for reporting on the inaccuracy of our once-great financial system, and give itself awards for accuracy in reporting.
Sounds like they're having financial trouble and needed to sell. I'm hearing this will likely result in nothing for employees.
Heh. As a Redux maintainer, I do appreciate seeing comments like this :)

Btw, if you haven't yet seen our official Redux Toolkit package, you should check it out. It includes utilities to simplify several common Redux use cases, including store setup, defining reducers, immutable update logic, and even creating entire "slices" of state at once:

https://redux-toolkit.js.org

Also, I just published a brand-new "Redux Essentials" core docs tutorial, which teaches "how to use Redux, the right way", using our latest recommended tools and practices like Redux Toolkit and the React-Redux hooks API. I'd encourage you to check it out even if you're already familiar with Redux:

This is the only right answer here at this time. If you haven't lived in these conditions you don't really know how it works. "Plausible deniability" does not work. "Citing which laws make this legal" do not work. It doesn't actually matter whether or not Zend is Israeli or whatever. Forming some coherent reductio ad absurdum (ah ha! But if we followed your law then it is clear we would not be able to function at all! But we are able to function, a contradiction! This must mean your law is not to be followed!) will only welcome you to jail.
