I would definitely agree the ones hit hardest would be the single parents and would deserve the most flexibility. That would be tough. With regard to dual income parents. I’d give them some slack, but as always, abuse of good intentions is why we end up not having good things. I’d hope they’d be able to trade roles during their respective busy times. As I’ve said before... it’s very rare anyone performs above 50% of their time “working”. So it’s not like WFH (or office) is like hamsters in a hamster wheel all day long. If they can coördinate switching on and off they should be able to pull it off with exceptions.
I disagree with this. If a leftist didn't push so hard for the moral high ground in race relations, in immigration, in fiscal policy, in foreign policy it would be much less relevant to point out hypocricy. A mistake is a mistake, but many times hypocrites go beyond 'mistakes' into complete logical inconsistency. We don't want inconsistent policies because they simply don't work.
Wel the dark mode on A10 was a huge thing for me <3
It really is a multiple of things, from Qualcomm, Politics, App Store policy. One might argue Tim Cook doesn't known about any of these as Steve would have, since Tim doesn't micro manage. But it is not the first time we caught Tim Cook flat out lying.
Debating, the term, usually has that context. Sometimes I pivot to using dialectic since it better captures the intended meaning of finding and discovering a shared truth together.
It's not helicopter parenting to find educational resources (including games) for your children. Helicopter parenting gets its name from the constant "hovering" some parents do around their children, which is a very different thing. Usual helicopter parents are the ones that swoop in as soon as little Timmy falls in the playground, or who constantly pester educators or other caregivers rather than stepping back and letting them do their jobs. And other, similar, traits. They can't "let go". Again, very different than finding and providing educational resources for your kids.
That's the argument I made above. If they get paid 100% of their salary for 80% of the output, so should everyone else. I compared it to smokers taking smoke breaks while non-smokers aren't allowed to take random 5 minute breaks.
Easy Cryptographic Timestamping of Files
The oscilloscope doesn't take hours to chkdisk, it takes ~5 minutes, which is bad but completely typical of my other experiences with Windows 7, so what should I expect the vendor to do about it? Other than try to sell me a new one that runs Windows 10 for another $40k, I mean? :]

The computer that used to take hours to chkdisk was a home computer with a couple 1TB (IIRC) 5200RPM drives containing a lot of files. Chkdisk didn't typically find errors and Windows small-file-access is notoriously slow. I don't think this is a "me" problem or a "my hard drive" problem, I think it's a "chkdisk is slow and obnoxious" problem. Windows users just put up with it and didn't resent it as much as I did because they didn't know there was a better way.

Apple cited journaling as the feature that let them drop the slow checks. Maybe that was puffery. Maybe it was uninformed risk tolerance (the NTFS ecosystem has an ecosystem of recovery tools too, so that's hardly an indication of anything). Or maybe it was informed risk tolerance, or better journaling, or better defaults.

In any case, the point holds: Windows was first across the "technological accomplishment" finish line while Apple was first across the "relevant to me" finish line, and that seems to happen a lot, even though I have feet firmly planted in both ecosystems.
Maybe use one of the miriads of available alternate gallery apps?

Ah. Same problem with static inline functions defined in headers in the kernel. They may not end up generating code, but clang doesn't know that and will still generate llvm for the backend to determine is dead, after clang has already done lots of work performing semantic analysis on it.

Orthogonal to your point:

Also, aggressively marking functions __attribute__((always_inline)) we found was blowing up compile times (reoptimizing the same code again and again).

Finally, expansions of function like macros containing GNU C statement expressions could cause the preprocessed source to bloat very quickly (megabytes of input, IIRC).
uh huh, still waiting for that calendar.
Take a look at the link. But to answer this point:

“ No. If you receive merchandise that you didn’t order, you have a legal right to keep it as a free gift.”
This was exactly what it was.

Demo, deep dive/narrative on your work. Demonstrating something cool. It was clear the prep was not expected or needed, and it would be scrappy - just like lightning talks at conferences.

The exposure and sharing of ideas was critical.

We even had times where someone would suggest a topic during the meeting and someone would step up and do a deeper dive into it.

Understanding is all relative. You don't need to be an expert to know more than your peers. You just need to accept that your extra knowledge adds value. And be honest where your limits of understanding are.

Sounds like, at least temporarily, the court believes the agreement to be enforceable.

>In a ruling late last month, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers largely rejected similar arguments Epic made in seeking a restraining order against Apple regarding Fortnite development on iOS. There was no "irreparable harm" to Epic, Rogers wrote, because "the current predicament appears of [Epic's] own making."

> "Your client created this situation," Rogers told lawyers for Epic in an August hearing. "Your client does not come to this action with clean hands... in my view, you cannot have irreparable harm when you create the harm yourself."

> "The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation," Apple said in a statement earlier this month." Epic has refused. Instead they "repeatedly submit Fortnite updates designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store."

EDIT: @gpm The status quo you refer to is Epic abiding by the agreement they argue is unenforceable. I have to be mindful about my reply quantity, HN throttles me otherwise, hence the edit.

Seems like Best Buy would be on the hook. Your address isn't the one associated with the stolen credit card but they accepted it as payment anyway. If the crook marked it as a gift, using the correct address as the payment address and your address as the shipping address, then it does get a bit murky since you were sent an unsolicited "stolen" package. Then it becomes a question of if the laptop is considered stolen or is it considered legally purchased with an illegal credit card transaction. If this was all done with stolen cash, I doubt the laptop would be considered stolen (but I'm not a lawyer so maybe it would be). With a stolen credit card it becomes a much more interesting legal question.

The unwanted bracelet/flower thing happens in South America too though usually with stickers or a small food item like gum or candy. The grifter will hand them out to an entire group and then ask for payment, at which point several people will already have eaten the food item or peeled off the sticker. If you refuse the item or return it in its original state, they usually don't hassle you about it. They rely on the gap of time between handing out the item to the first person and the last person to create an indebtedness that too small for you to make a fuss about paying.
I invite you to visit Northern Michigan! This world exists only 7 hours, by car, north of Chicago, a metro area with something like 9.5 million people. Hardly 'pretty far out' in my opinion. Growing up I had to call EMS a few times for various things, if you're not directly in town or on a tourist road, one can expect some seriously long waits. Washed out 2 track during a light rain isn't exactly something an ambulance move quickly on.

People adapt to their environments, if you have to fix your car in the country, you learn to fix your car. If you have to fix your car in the city, you learn to schmooze the repair guy into giving you a better deal.
It's true enough that in the early 2000s one of my poli-sci professors devoted most of a course to the book War Before Civilization and kept hammering on the idea of prehistoric war being widespread and common as some kind of huge revelation and surprise.

I found such intense and sustained focus baffling, since the point seemed obvious (though the evidence was interesting, at least). I've since come to understand this as some "inside baseball" grad-level anthropology leaking through to the undergrad curriculum. We newbies didn't need to be convinced because we'd never strongly held the contrary view in the first place, but the field (and related ones) had only recently convinced itself so thought it worth spending a lot of time on.
I interpret KS backward from what you're saying. From my understanding, KS says that there is no sense in which the experiment involves an objective revelation of hidden state.

After the experiment, the experimenter did not "learn" or "reveal" some objective fact about reality, ie that the true state was UP rather than DOWN. Instead, after the experiment the experimenter becomes entangled with the UP/DOWN system in such a way that the experimenter measured both UP and DOWN, but all observables relating to the experimenter are either wholly consistent with UP or wholly consistent with DOWN.

I think that is partly because most debates are unfortunately laden with time pressure and performance pressure. Underneath all that distraction is an actual argument, that given the premises and valid reasoning, should stand the test of time. And if they don't have those, they won't. It's amazing how many arguments by "good debaters" start to fall apart and dissolve once given a second look.
Comments usually trail upvotes, and placement is an algorithm of upvotes to age (plus the occasional editorial tweak from admins). My guess is that 5 upvotes in 5 minutes is enough to get a front page placement during certain times, and from there as long as the title seems interesting regular effects of popularity take over.
Same for me. I went from Google to ProtonMail and then (due to mentioned issues) I moved to Fastmail and I am very happy. I don’t miss Gmail at all.
Oh probably and even if you did find one that works "well" you'd have to buy a ton of them to ensure you have backups. I'm well aware of the issues. But without an alternative or a grant to update the hardware what do you do? At some point the availability of period hardware with ISA slots is going to be prohibitively expensive.
You might be correct in general, but if it has worked well enough and reliably for the past 20 years, why fix it?
Comments are not a ranking factor. Per the FAQ:

It is usually a SMS-based app but it is not the same one for all factory-new Android phones. Some manufacturers will ship with Google Messages and some such as Samsung have their own messaging apps which will be the default in most but not all cases. If purchased through a carrier sometimes the default app will be the carrier's messaging app even if the phone manufacturer has their own.
> the "resentment" of those without children have for "benefits" those with children get strikes me as extremely selfish, immature and displaying a total lack of empathy.

Unpopular opinion:

We should not be rewarding or elevating people for having unprotected sex without the support network to take care of their children in the event they are unable to attend school.

There's a thousand reasons a child might not be able to attend school. If your plans for raising a child rely upon schools being able to take them off your hands for 8+ hours a day (not to mention feeding them), that's your problem, not ours.

It's "selfish" and "immature" to bring a child into the world that you don't have the time or means to raise.

You seem to be frustrated that Lua doesn't work like one other programming language: Javascript.

That's fine. Probably shouldn't use it. The nil handling is one of my favorite things about Lua, so let me offer you an alternative: instead of being grumpy about the language not working the way you'd like, instead embrace what it is, and work with it.

Or don't, that's entirely your business.
What is your threat model?
"at Apple's expense" really surprised me in that statement, too. Certainly, Epic's move denied Apple money they would have earned, but "at their expense" makes it sound like Epic was going to bankrupt them.
You know browsers have built-in loading spinners?

In my experience, any time a web site reimplements basic browser functionality in JavaScript (e.g. loading spinners, scrolling, navigation) it is slow, buggy, and annoying.
No vaccine is 100% safe. That doesn't exist.

The real question is the risk/benefit profile. Does the benefit of the vaccine outweigh the risks. That was a "no" for the swine flu vaccine since the outbreak fizzled out quickly.

If tens of thousands were dying every month from the swine flu, then the vaccine may have still be worth it even with the GBS side effect.
That's part of the confidence interval. The adjusted p-value is 0.08. However, the cut-off of 0.05 is just a convention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_p-values. I'd think of this as a grey scale, where 0.08 is roughly in the significance range.

The null hypothesis is that it's highly unlikely VitD has an effect, and we should expect to see that substantiated often in tests. How often? 95% of the time. 5% of the time we can expect to see spurious results from our simplistic model of random processes. Upshot, it's a small change to move those numbers to 92% vs. 8%. In this context, it's fine to say "this was a small pilot that directionally shows we should do a much bigger test", which is what they're now doing.

Thing is, Apple still charges $100 USD per year for a developer license which lets you distribute your app, so this is already happening! :)

I tried running WP for SCO under iBCS 10-15 years ago. I couldn't get it to work. Don't remember all the details but it seemed they cheated with some of the video routines and I mostly got a corrupted screen.

I don't think a reverse proxy would work in this case due to the JWT security requirements (callbackable internet accessible endpoints). In any case, that's one of the big reasons we are favoring the electron app as the primary desktop interface because it takes the problem away. The browser based interface is targeted at server deploys and in those cases if you're hosting from a proper ip address, you want to install your own cert of course.
Encourage a culture of yes-ness and helpfulness. It’s so easy for people to say why something cannot or should not be done.

It’s so much healthier to say “yes, I trust that you need what you say you need but I need more information to be able to help you.”
You should look at a map again. You've got it literally backwards.
You’ll have to look into it some more if you’re interested, but I expect this mostly pertains to Americans receiving mail or packages at their homes.

It may be the case that a supplier who delivers something you didn’t request (in your case here) can’t make you pay, but they’d probably terminate any relationship with you.

So I’m only really going off of what the FTC says. In a case of an existing relationship if Amazon Subscribe and Save sends me an extra unit, then no I don’t have to pay for that. It doesn’t matter if I’ve been buying from them in the past.
If you're trying to describe AWS as being opposed to making open source contributors, this appears to be not true, at least at cursory glance: https://aws.amazon.com/opensource/

I always hear these type of complaints about Amazon but it's not clear to me why they're always singled out for doing something vaguely anti-open-source. They don't seem to be doing anything different than any of the other F500 companies that selectively open source things but still produce a lot of closed source. The "traditional" way to deal with companies that don't give back is copyleft. If that's not enough and you want to totally deny access to these companies, that's fine, use a proprietary license. It makes no sense to me to insist on calling that open source, when you yourself would admit to purposefully trying to make it so it's closed source to a certain group of people.
protonmail states they're using Neustar for DDoS protection of their network:

https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/email-ddos-pro...

Very few players have the capacity by themselve to handle a large DDoS these days.

And I'm not sure when talking about protonmail kind of encryption that Neustar has any special access to keys relative to say Level3, cogent or any transit provider between you and protonmail.

But may be I misunderstood your comment?
From a contractual standpoint outside of emotion, I think Apple will absolutely destroy Epic Games' position here in court.

The only think Epic Games can hope for at this point is for the court to find Apple is a monopoly and engaging in unfair business practices but I think that type of finding isn't even in the court's purview -- I think that anti-trust needs to be a suit from the US government? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....
These War on Drugs PR pieces make me want to tear my hair out.
- Fentanyls and other synthetics are already a bigger problem than heroin

- Without acetic anhydride, heroin is morphine, which is practically the same thing

- Without acetic anhydride, morphine can be acetylated in situ with acetic acid (vinegar) and a little bit of technique.

- Without acetic acid, morphine can be esterified with a million other chemical species similar to acetate. I hear dibenzoylmorphine is particularly easy "kitchen chemistry" with common ingredients and spectacular results

- Acetic anhydride is already a DEA list 2 chemical.

It's like what is the end goal of writing these pieces? The endgame is my kid's science teacher gets disappeared for running the "aspirin from salicylic acid" lab, while cartels buy fucking cellulose acetate plants and divert a few tons of acetic anhydride into heroin in between runs of preserved wood and plastic pellets.

On the other hand if it leads to drug-subsidized development of the chemical industry in Mexico, maybe that's good for the environment on the Gulf coast and Mississippi Delta
Yeah I was going to say in Nigeria its like $1200 a year - so half makes less than that.
Irreparable harm here means no harm that would be caused by not granting a temporary restraining order that could not be fixed by granting a preliminarily injunction later, or cured in a final ruling. It does not mean there is no harm (edit: Or that the agreement is enforceable).

The idea is just that the judge is generally going to maintain the status quo during the TRO phase (this policy exists because there has been such little time for legal argument at the point that a TRO is requested).

I don't see that any of these quotes are at all responsive to the person you are responding to.

> EDIT: @gpm The status quo is Epic abiding by the agreement they argue unenforcable.

Heh, just so you know you can reply to new comments by clicking on the timestamp and then clicking reply.

Anyways, I think I must be missing your point? The person you replied to appeared to be arguing about what the final ruling should be not about whether or not a TRO should be granted (which is where the status quo arguments come in).

Many conversations I've had about Haskell - pro and con - have gone really interesting places. But as your experience has differed, and you appear to think that's predictive, I'll take this opportunity to remove that common variable by wrapping up discussion here.

Snark aside, I wish you well.
Apple Card does this (and obviously Apple Pay in general). It's not nearly as powerful as Privacy though since the card numbers can't be cancelled or paused from what I can tell.
As mentioned, this was Google's Smart (display) Ads not their traditional search ads. I've had good success with the latter but decided to try the former on their suggestion.
Not just that. This is the calm before the storm. Huawei has employed an army of reportedly 80.000 developers after Trump cut them off play services. A big part of that army is working on their networking gear but I expect a new OS to drop soonish even though we haven't heard much about it. It just makes sense for them to reduce dependency. The mobile duopoly is on its last legs and they might as well start competing with themselves.

Also I'm sure Google want stricter control on customisation which would be a good thing (easier updates). It'll be hard to take that back from Android vendors but I bet Fuchsia won't have it.
Eh, no. Not by a chance. I have some old as heck games which don't even work even under W2k with w9x compat mode (it's hidden, you need a command to enable it), so a total nope under XP.
I agree. Apple are pretty much the only company in the world with the money, engineering knowledge, and clout to do a privacy first open ecosystem. On an Apple product you are free only to what Apple says is Kosher, why? Their customers will buy anything apple does, why not just go for it and be more open?
I look forward to Epic's next set of suits against Sony and Microsoft, who offer basically identical terms for inclusion on the app platforms for Playstation and Xbox, respectively.
I know how performance is judged, functionally speaking. I am suggesting that the specific expectations that would be communicated in that context are straddling the boundaries of what is legal in some places.
