I was confused about this. There is no repo, because what the person selling the kit is selling is a tarball that is a shortcut for his (well-researched and tested, of course) instruction manual for installing an OS that is available elsewhere. The manual itself is also available free of charge. It looks to be a bit of a pain to assemble the tarball by hand, not by design, by necessity.

I share the same attitude and it’s served me well - you never know when life will hand you a bad card. Our 19 month old son at the time (6 years ago) got sick - he developed type 1 diabetes. It wasn’t easy to accept but then you look at the kids with more serious conditions in the waiting room at the pediatric endocrinologist’s office and realize that type 1 diabetes is manageable. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a disease that never takes a break. In 6 years we’ve probably left him in the care of someone else (my parents) maybe a handful of times because he can’t self manage yet. But we make the best of it. Yes it would be nice to be able to go on date nights once in a while, but the times we’ve tried usually ended in multiple phone calls or constant texting. In the end it just means we spend more time with our kids. Someday they’ll move out/away and we’ll have more time alone than we like.
Does someone have a list of verifiable comparisons between coverage and (evidence of) events that you respect? This comment and article are "raising concerns", but not contributing to a more realistic public record.
@Fellshard makes a good point that decentralisation is often a tool, used both by people who wish to disassociate a group with its actions.

Also this is true in reverse with people seeking to group people who are not actually acting as groups.

That kind of deliberate distortion only makes it harder to comprehend what is really happening often, but there's still a burden of proof.

Obviously organised criminals have been attempting to hide coordinated activity for the longest time too, I understand that bad actors exist who seek to pretend actions are not coordinated. But again, there are times when members of such organisations commit crimes off their own backs, which were not part of any conspiracy.
I've received several products I didn't order, as part of this fraud. One is actually a forehead thermometer that's come in really handy lately, thanks scammers! ;)

In order for the seeds to be part of this fraud, the listing also has to be changed, as I understand it. Initially the listing is for seeds, and the seeds have the right ASIN and the orders are fulfilled and all these newly-created fraudulent accounts are "verified purchasers". Then they edit the listing to be for batteries, for example. All these verified-purchaser accounts now come and leave battery reviews on the battery listing, propelling it to the top of the battery ranking.

So another part of stopping this scam is making it harder for sellers to edit their listings to completely change the product being listed. Fixing typos and adding photos, sure, but larger changes should be reviewed somehow.

Unless we all misunderstand what's going on, as you said.
Love how when the same restrictions are imposed in the USA, everyone starts talking about "doing the right thing"
I think that beating around the bush without being explicit about what you believe (which makes your position impossible to refute or even talk about in any meaningful way) makes for sterile discussion and is hardly better than flamebait. In line with the principle of charity you should state your position without assuming your detractors will be unable to keep their cool.
This feels contrived. Rarely do I, as a brand or content creator, want it circulating without my control. It doesn’t make business sense.

I fear the answer you might well get will be "bullets". The idea that you need means to less-harmfully disperse political dissenters and opposition only holds if you want to live in a world where dissent and opposition are allowed. As an outsider, it seems very much like Americans (of all political stripes) are becoming increasingly intolerant of that.
So there is lots of science backing up the fact that a vegan diet is better for athletic performance and also the athlete is still saying it has helped him. One of the reasons for the outperformance on a vegan diet is reduced inflammation.

Postel's Law – The Robustness Principle
i'd second that.
You're not supposed to hit people in the face with full blast at short distance. That's why these things have multiple settings. The high pressure tight beam is meant for large distance.

Tear gas has a similar problem: a tear gas cartridge in the face may blind you (or worse). Wikipedia says "As with all non-lethal or less-lethal weapons, there is some risk of serious permanent injury or death when tear gas is used. This includes risks from being hit by tear gas cartridges that may cause severe bruising, loss of eyesight, or skull fracture, resulting in immediate death. A case of serious vascular injury from tear gas shells has also been reported from Iran, with high rates of associated nerve injury (44%) and amputation (17%), as well as instances of head injuries in young people."

I'm actually actively learning modern c++ these days, and I like it so far.

On another note, Bjarne is 70 year old and he is still very active in c++ new features, very impressive. That gives me a hint that as a software engineer, I can be productive for many years to come as long as I keep studying.

I also hope Linus still maintains Linux kernel in the next 20 years.
Easy, JVM == UNIX == Browser, Java == C == JavaScript.

Anything else on the JVM is nice to have, but isn't where all the goodies are.

Google has a special interest in getting rid of Java, hence Kotlin.

In fact, it is going to be fun to watch how they will keep up with the pace of the JVM, because when the majority of key libraries move to modern Java, many of them will stop being compatible with D8/R8, forcing Android developers to use pure Kotlin libraries.

Then JetBrains needs to think how to make use of Java libraries that use the new FFI, virtual threads, inline classes, generics, SIMD vector types, while keeping the language compatible with what ART is capable of.
I've been boycotting Chinese goods whenever possible (it helps that I don't really buy electronics) because of Hong Kong. I regret not having started back when our professor urged us to do so roughly a decade ago. One time, we had officials from Chinese universities visit ours and he made sure to have big "free Tibet" patches on his jacket and backpack while always hanging around said officials. He was quite the character.
There is a reason why React pays well. Why it's a good choice for managing complexity.

But you might be too far down the rabbit hole. To use react involves learning a series of things (npm/react/command line). To use Jquery copy 5 lines. It is so easy to get started and so simple to work with.

JQuery is the right choice when you are not managing complexity. When you want a simple powerful abstraction.
It's usually the right choice for non-programmers who want to do a few things. It's a good choice for programmers who are not building applications.
Yeah, this guy sounds like a complete asshole.
In Portland the police have opted not to use tear gas vs right wing protestors. They've simply stood aside and watched as folks from the Proud Boys and similar groups drive around downtown shooting people with mace and pepper balls from paint ball markers. They've waited until after the proud boys et all finished their "demonstration", only then declaring an illegal assembly, and gassing the remaining protestors.

So you don't have to pretzel yourself into contrived hypotheticals. The police have made very clear clear that in your imagined case, they'd simply wave the rioters on with a smile, so long as they're against BLM.
No fee for members, only for the owner of the community.
On a similar vein, how easy is it to programmatically process emails? I receive a report every day as an email attachment that I would like to process automatically. Right now, I’m doing part where I open the email and download it manually.
you can use JSON schema to lockdown you schemas like SQL but few developers choose do that as they prefer the flexibility that MongoDB offers. Changes in the schema are almost always due to upstream changes so the schema is a follower rather than a leader.

Encoding your business logic in the database schema is rarely a good idea.
MLK was massively vilified during his lifetime. E.g. [1]:

> According to an early 1968 Harris Poll, the man whose half-century of martyrdom we celebrate this week died with a public disapproval rating of nearly 75 percent, a figure shocking in its own day and still striking even in today’s highly polarized political climate

And [2]

> Back in the 1960s, when King was actually leading protests, just 36 percent of white Americans thought he was helping “the Negro cause of civil rights,” according to historical polling data compiled by the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research. In a 1966 Gallup poll, more than 60 percent of the public rated King more negatively than positively.

> After King was assassinated, two-thirds of Americans said their strongest reaction to his death had been sadness, anger, shame or fear, another survey found. Another 31 percent, however, said they “felt he brought it on himself.”

This idea that MLK was the respectable, acceptable face of the civil rights struggle is a modern fiction, and worth considering before denouncing those currently seen as going too far:

MLK was seen as going too far. He was hated.

The turning point was his death, and even then millions thought he had it coming. It took many years of reappraisals after his death for him to become the popular icon he is today.

Worth considering when considering what future generations will think about those demonstrating now.

COVID is extremely serious, you and I both know this. Accurate reporting on it is going to sound overblown if you're convinced it's not a problem. What would you suggest the news do? Pretend it's not an issue at all?

Also not sure which article in particular you are referring to, but the one I found doesn't seem sensationalistic at all:

This is great practical advice! As a non-designer, I’ve found it hard to find good, succinct resources on color theory that actually gets to ground-level suggestions like this. Well done to the author.
Agreed. This just looks like clickbait.
Money & power are greater than protesting/democracy is what people are waking up to. It's been that way since forever but a lot of dogma keeps people docile to the idea that change is made from the "people" instead of a few elect individuals by birth with circumstances of wealth and power.
Process/Thread pools help to mitigate the brain damage in Python significantly, but I hear you. Python's concurrency story is the main reason I started looking at other languages for a better concurrency story and it's why I picked up Clojure as a second language.
Oh, this is nice, I’ll have to try it out. However, it does seem to rely on an actual device to do the decryption: I wonder if it would be possible to reverse the FairPlay algorithm itself so this can be done off-device.
It might, but Rust still needs to grow a matching eco-system.
Wow this is a total loss for Epic and total win for Apple. Now nobody will stand up to Apple for doing anything, even the things they should rightly stand up for.

In a way this sucks because Epic made Apple's monopoly much stronger than before and no other developer will dare to fight. What Epic did was wrong, but they still had a point, they just spoiled it for the rest of us.

I guess the only way to escape this Apple/Google duopoly in mobile is for some completely new platform to emerge. any ideas?
Sounds like you had a bit more than a micro-dose, but interesting way of applying these doses!
Oppression is just as much a "way of life" as autonomy. Calling it that makes them of equal value as ways to live.
I expect any Developer X, to comfortably understand a random codebase of language X.
In seven years working at MongoDB the one thing I have learned is technology is never "forced down the throat of the engineers". Developers have choices and would not stay in an organisation that made decisions that way. The reason developer relations exists is the acknowledgement that developers ARE the decision makers in most technology selection.
Got any evidence to support that?
I think Java took it too far. If they'd innovated at even 1/2 the rate of C#, I think they wouldn't have lost as much mind share.

But of course, I'm sure Oracle is a big reason too.
Also Michael Pollan has a great book called How to Change your Mind.
You seem to have forgotten about Rand Paul being attacked as well. Then theres the teenager getting into a battle with three criminals (or so they allege) at least one of which was holding a gun they had no right to own.

These are Trump's words:

I am mobilizing all available federal resources, civilian and military, to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson and to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans, including your Second Amendment rights

The piece continues:

"He said he was already dispatching "thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers" to Washington to stop the violence that has been a feature of the protests here."

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-consideri...

Later the Army realized he couldn't do that:

Hundreds of combat soldiers with the 82nd Airborne were ordered to leave Washington, D.C, Thursday after retired generals and the nation's top officer rebuked Donald Trump over his use of the military.

Members of the elite unit had been deployed to the nation's capital to back up National Guard soldiers ordered onto the streets by Attorney General Bill Barr in a show of force.
...
While the capital is under federal control, the removal of hundreds of combat troops was a highly-visible sign that Trump had been forced into retreat on his threat to deploy soldiers under his control in protest-hit cities.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8389743/Generals-WI...

I chose the Daily Mail reporting because no one could accuse it of being a left wing mouthpiece. There are plenty of other sources if you google

If you prefer, you could take Trump's former Defense Secretary James Mattis' comments on the use of troops in Washington DC:

Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict—a false conflict—between the military and civilian society. It erodes the moral ground that ensures a trusted bond between men and women in uniform and the society they are sworn to protect, and of which they themselves are a part. Keeping public order rests with civilian state and local leaders who best understand their communities and are answerable to them.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/james-m...

I'd further note that Trump has recently been talking publicaly about using the Insurrection Act to enable him to call out troops, again.
Truly sad. When HK was handed back to China in 1999, did we know this is inevitable?
You're also not supposed to shoot baton rounds ("rubber bullets") directly at people's heads. This does nothing to stop police from shooting people in the head. It seems a common problem with all of these non-lethal weapons is that they are actually lethal in the hands of a cop.
Isn't that exactly the train something from regular news would be on HN; you know that upvoted stories are ones people want others to be aware of, it doesn't indicate support nor that anyone is vouching for its verity.
> China's (CCP's) values are wholly different from the free world's

I dont think so much, CCP/China's value overlaps west a lot:
* They at least value personal fortune, the whole society shows a frenzy higher than US to chase personal fortune. Take an example [1].
* They both believe in market economy. With different flavors. SMBs are both the major employers of the economy in both countries.
* They both put people in internment camp out of perceived external threads, without factual evidence (WWII Japanese, Xinjiang Uygurs)
* They both bully neighbors (US neighbors were historically suffered territory loss to US, and Cuba was shutdown from the international society by US driven effort, China bullied Vietnam and now claiming territory in south China sea)

The only answer is to not click on ads. Do your research via review videos/amazon etc (I know that they are/could be indirect advertisements but atleast the creators get some sponsorship money). Then go to the brick and mortar shop, check it out and then, here is the kicker, pay the extra $5 bucks to buy from them.
Nice. Reminds me of a time I was learning Rust. Did a small test to get Node.JS and Rust to "communicate" via Postgres[0]

The inverse - 20 A plug to 15 A socket - would be perfectly fine and conform to code, you couldn't possibly pull an overcurrent that the breaker might fail to detect.

What's really scary is that in many commercial buildings you have combined 5-15/5-20 sockets (this sort:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector#/media/File:Ele...) for circuits fused to 20 A. If you had rigged your locking to non-locking adapter with a 5-20 plug you'd again be fully code-compliant.

Look at the background of two photos! The shelving would indicate the offensive thing was found in a datacenter, it must have been a semipermanent hack, not something that someone might use in their office with the door locked and curtains drawn to set up equipment and otherwise keeps in a locked drawer.
I highly recommend the book “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg. It describes lots of interesting scientific findings.

That book introduced me to a technique for eliminating bad habits that has worked really well so far. Duhigg describes a case in which a lady was trying to stop biting her lip, so she was asked to carry a slip of paper with her, and whenever she felt the urge to bite her lip, instead write a tickmark on the piece of paper. This ended up working for her (and for me) because it is apparently easier to replace one habit with another (i.e. lip-biting with tickmark-writing) than to eliminate a habit completely. And once you’ve fully replaced your bad habit with writing tickmarks, it’s easy to stop doing the latter - just stop carrying pencil and paper in your pocket.
It's site karma, ie balance of votes. When you have enough upvotes you get downvotes.
That’s correct. iOS applications have their binaries encrypted by Apple when they are uploaded to the App Store, and a special memory mapper in iOS is used to copy those pages from disk and decrypt it into RAM so I can run. You can guess the obvious workaround for this: if you can read the memory of a process other than your own, just dump its memory and reconstruct the binary without encryption. This project allows this to happen on a device that isn’t jailbroken by using the PsychicPaper exploit, which allows applications to sign themselves with arbitrary “entitlements”, one of which is “I want to be able to dump memory from other processes”.
Ask HN: Books/Articles for Non-Programmers..?
I work with a lot of people who are not developers. I often find that their lack of grounding in any of the hard sciences means their mental models are not really that well developed. Many of them just also do not have research backgrounds.

In spite of these shortcomings, these people are immensely capable, talented, and motivated - in their own ways. I would like to broach the topic with them (one-on-one) about resources, such as books or articles, that might make them more productive in their strategizing.

No one disputes that meta programming is useful. What is disputed is C++ templates being a "good" way to meta program.

I certainly understand metaprogramming, but navigating very dense C++ templates is one of the most complicated things I've had to do in my life. One or two levels of abstraction and you will lose your ability to hold everything you need to solve a problem in your head, and after a few dozen lines the source code is unreadable.

> You need to understand the core language and the template language to be effective with them.

this is a bug.
