"The path to awakening is always a process of release and liberation, never a process of activation and stimulation. You want to be liberated from the chakras, not empower them. Do you want to strengthen your base urges, or do you want to rise above them? Now some of the chakras are particularly difficult knots to unravel, Muladhara is commonly known to be a difficult knot to unravel because we are all naturally attached to the earth element (earth includes all physical matter, which includes the body). The Vishuddha chakra is another really sticky one. What do humans love to do? Create and communicate. It's difficult to let these things go." - pmward

It's disappointing that publishing about war-crimes is a bigger deal than doing it for governments. Why even governments have this right in first place? It's fundamentally wrong.
You obviously don't have kids :)

I guess that many of those "productivity freaks" have toddlers, they tend to wake up at 6.30-7. So waking up at 6 is the one hour in your day that is yours and yours alone. So they wake up at 5-6am, to have a couple of "good hours". Because after the morning preparations and a 40min drive to get the kids to school, your mind is less 'fresh' than what it was at 6am.

It's a practical thing (for those who find it to be). Not a panacea for all.
One of the reasons why I loved the Mass Effect Games (as well as KotOR, Jade Empire, Fallout) is because finally RPG set in something else besides D&D.

I get it, you want something even more ground breaking or maybe in your eyes people should be hyped about a game which makes even bolder design decisions than Cyberpunk 2077. But maybe you are asking for too much.

There’s only really Shadow Run and Deus Ex to compare it to. When you think in those terms, which I do, you must at least try to be content we’re getting a big story driven RPG set in the future which has a big budget and is being made by a company with a great track record.

To be sure, I want weirder games with great design and vision. But let’s try to be happy.

That's too relativistic. If only AMZN, GOOG, and FB gain during coronavirus, this clearly means there's need for action considering the perspective of online-only advertising going forward. Especially if the success of TikTok as the only competitor in the space has resulted in government influence.

I think this is a good point that doesn't get discussed enough.

Was Bell bad for the consumer? Yes, probably. Was the benefit of the increase in innovation a net benefit for society when compared to deadweight loss incurred by monopoly pricing? I don't know.

There is almost no way to answer this question in a rigorous manner, and yet it's extremely important for policy. The only thing I can think of is experiment over a long period of time between distinct geographies and see what happens.
Because app developers will use other browser engines allowing them to ignore any of the privacy constraints in place at the moment.
Probably. Unless they’re something that clearly explains why this update just had to go out tomorrow, like new iPhones shipping or something, the people who signed off on this should be writing a report tomorrow about how badly they’ve damaged developer relations and created a huge amount of work internally for the app review team and probably the engineering as well. The fact that the main part of the even from today that I care about is a ten second snippet from Tim instead of how fast A14 Bionic is or whatever is a really bad look for how much this has ruined developer trust in Apple.

Well, according to TFA, the patches were submitted as an RFC.

Short version: it's not in Linux, this is basically the very first step in getting it into Linux, it's still gonna be probably several months at least before it makes it into the mainline kernel, and then however long after that for it to make it into your distro's kernel.

FWIW, I think it was a little over 3 years from the first "RFC" for Wireguard until it was merged into mainline (part of that, though, is because some existing things in the kernel had to be "re-worked" first).

Wasn’t that one of the premises of communist states, that the Land of the Free was supposed to avoid?
Which is why market definition requires you to look at substitution. If there is another coffee shop two blocks away and your coffee shop raised prices significantly, people would start going to the other one, because they're strong substitutes for one another. Whereas if the nearest coffee shop was twenty blocks away, likely they wouldn't, because that's too far to walk and it doesn't make sense to pay $2.75 to ride the subway to save $1.50 on a cup of coffee. So the block is too small but the whole city is too big.

> Why not look at the entire ad spend and then see what % is controlled by Google ?

Because they would be reaching different customers, such that if the advertiser moved a dollar from e.g. online to print, they would lose customers, because the print viewers have already seen their ad from the existing print advertising they do, and the online viewers (who are different people) haven't. Which means they aren't adequate substitutes for one another.
> ADA has proper arrays, with bounds checks.

Not only that, but you can also opt out at compile-time if you need, for performance reasons.

You also have (optional) runtime bound-checking for scalar values (aka "integers"), and you can even specify the bounds yourself (like "A number between 3 and 17").
I focus mostly on Windows, but given that even Google is integrating Android's NDK with vcpkg, I guess it works quite alright.
It's completely wrong. 2008 didn't come from a run on the bank, it came from a collapse in value of assets used as collateral for other assets, triggering widespread bankruptcy, triggering collapses in assets backed by the loans written off in those bankruptcies, triggering more bankruptcy by owners of those assets, triggering collapses in assets backed by loans those institutions had... You get the point. Deposits were totally irrelevant. Investments were overleveraged across the board.

Banking crises can come from any form of leverage. It doesn't matter what the original collateral is, whether it's deposits or private investment. All you need is for losses to exceed collateral at a large scale. In 2008, this came from a chain reaction, which is the main point of broad limits on leverage, and that risk absolutely applies to fintech.
Your experience meshes with mine perfectly.

Especially this is key:

Exactly! Thank you for putting this so succinctly.

Just being aware of what needs to be done and in what order is critical. For that you need a bird's eye view of all relevant pieces, which is almost impossible to do when you are in the weeds.

> "Had the vehicle operator been attentive, she would likely have had sufficient time to detect and react to the crossing pedestrian to avoid the crash or mitigate the impact," the November 2019 NTSB report stated.

This isn’t a case of the Uber performing some split-second error that needed immediate correction then blaming the driver when that didn’t happen, the way so many in this thread seem to want to make it out to be. This is a person whose job it was to watch the road watching Hulu instead and as a result failing to react to developing conditions that, if NTSB is to be believed (and I trust them a whole lot more than the randos commenting here), could have easily been prevented by an attentive driver.

Maybe it's worth making clear for grandparent that "working" definitely does not mean "as good as Android/iOS" - but indeed, just "being usable" (and I'm pretty sure many people will decide it's "not usable" given how much it's not "as good"). You have to make sacrifices to use it as your main phone (it won't be as great an experience; on the other hand, your phone won't spy on you).

Regarding battery, I found the suspend gains to not be that useful for me. I don't know if it's just me, but you give me a GNU/linux phone and I go wild on what I do with it.

It runs webservices, so my data is accessible to all my devices without needing to use a "cloud" service (that is, it's accessible without leaving my local network and I own my data). And the phone is also my modem and router for all those devices. A consequence of that is that I definitely don't want it to go to suspend 5 minutes after I stop using its keyboard :)

Maybe I'm a outlier there, but if users want their GNU/linux phone to do anything more than simply answering to inputs, suspend won't help. We need to make softwares that consume less power, which I would think never was really a consideration of GNU/linux desktop GUI apps, so there's some work we have to do there (and many cool challenges!). I would also argue that whatever the reason is, we need to make software that consume less power anyway.
My phone is offering to install it right now (In Australia, 19:35:00+10:00). It's _possible_ I'm getting it early because I've been running the recent betas on this phone.

I use Debian so this won't help me directly, but once I work out why I can't re-add it will be possible to use something similar in a postinst hook to rebuild all the arrays.

Interestingly, the french and austrians both modally respond that there are "few" neo nazis in their countries, but "a great deal or many" in the US.

> Isn't stopping companies selling vehicles that can break speeding laws the same?

No, because you can just not speed, whereas you can't just not drink the lead in your tap water. Your proposal is a different, far more extreme form of regulation.

> So when science and technology make it (where "it" is speeding) preventable - who wouldn't want to use it to prevent theirs and other's loved ones from being killed and maimed?

You keep repeating this thing about saving your loved ones, but it's not as simple as that. You have tunnel vision on the death toll and don't consider what other consequences you're creating. Reasoning that "if technology allows it and it can save a life, it's automatically worth doing" can justify a lot of hamfisted measures.

> It'll be one heck of a debate; freedom of internal thought vs stopping rapists and serial killers.

Here you even acknowledge that there is something to be lost in exchange for stopping bad things. That's my entire point. The speeding issue is exactly the same, just with smaller stakes.

Take away people's agency piece by piece to prevent speeding, murder and rape, and you end up with a society where everyone can live to 100 but no one is even human anymore.

Not author, but I used Prelude for a long time and swapped to Doom a couple years ago and far prefer Doom's approach.

Doom is just a git repo you check out into .emacs.d. It has no state other than updating your git repo to update Doom, and some cache files that can be removed at any time. It's way easier for me to reason about what's going on and to tweak things to my liking, and to have a consistent experience across multiple machines. You can run one command 'SPC-h-d-m' to go directly to the source code of any doom module and edit it and view what it does.

It's not perfect (far too many regressions IMO across versions), but for the first time I feel like I have a super productive Emacs that I can actually grok and modify as a non-Emacs master.
And just because you downvoted me, I'm algo gifting my older son with a subscription.
I'm not so sure that it is. I'm someone who experiences a lot of medicine and is completely reliant on it, so my view is different to the one that healthy people get.

We might have made some huge strides in the simple cause and effect in single processes in the body and be able to manipulate them in weird and wonderful ways, but our understanding of how they all interact to produce a functioning human is basically non-existent.

The treatment of my condition (MS) and the development of drugs to try and control it is basically just throwing spaghetti at the wall...

The immortality you talk about requires either:
understanding what consciousness is and how we could move it from one physical entity to another without destroying it.
or;
Keeping the body that the consciousness exists in alive indefinitely.

I think we're about as close to either of those as we are to visiting another star.
I don't know why you'd want to write lambda like that.

Long ago, I made a prototype mixfix syntax for Scheme intended for a shell-like REPL with ISWIM overtones. The paren-less function call syntax (terminated by newline or semicolon, like shell) was done by modifying the Pratt engine to treat juxtaposition as application. Sexp syntax was also valid as parenthesized expressions.
There's already WSL for your Unix needs.

However MS seems to fall back on its old bad habits and the "it-just-works" gui is less true since a while now (I would say a year): we had some major pains after every Windows update at work to the point where the admin blocked them in the firewall.

I think their release schedule (twice a year) is way too fast, and they should focus more on stability.
Take a look at Postgres roles, I think they are similar to what you describe. This should allow you to set row level permissions per user. Not sure how well that scales.

One of the things which really, really rustles my jimmies is computer nerds talking about matter the way they talk about Stirling engines. Someone once upon a time told them that Stirling engines were efficient heat engines which work on diffuse heat sources, and suddenly, Mr nerd wants to stick them everywhere. No. Unlike using some sorting or hashing algorithm, there are tradeoffs and complexities in technologies involving matter beyond anything you do in your day to day work. "Stirling engine" isn't some kind of algorithm you can put everywhere like your favorite red-black tree implementation.

Stirling engines, like all heat engines, work more efficiently with large temperature differentials: this means advanced materials. External combustion immediately puts you in a weird and unfamiliar engineering place where you have the firey bits outside the piston where you can do the usual things to keep it under control. Cooling is also different from just farting out exhaust and pumping water through the block in a normal engine. If you don't have a large temperature differential you have shitty efficiency and it's not worth doing. Practical Stirling engines which do useful work, whether for heating or cooling, are usually large, have sealed, pressurized helium as working fluids (oh? you don't know about working fluids in Stirling engines?), complicated gearing mechanisms and sometimes even magnetic coupling to the outside world, and have extremely complex and precision machine parts compared to the slop you see in consumer grade items like a Porsche Engine. Ratios in the engine are often tailored to a very specific use case; and will work for shit if your heat spec is outside that very, very narrow use case. Go have a look at what goes into designing a real world Stirling engine for example in [0].

People don't use Otto/Rankine/Brayton/whatever because of some live-steam or anti-Stirling conspiracy: they use it because Stirling engines, outside of a few mostly unimportant use cases, are usually expensive and shit. The two most widespread industrial uses of the things I can think of were a Chrysler air conditioner[1] and a coleman beer cooler[2], both using the same Japanese built Stirling cooler. Even in these use cases, which, mind you are using a Stirling engine in reverse from what HN weebs want them for, they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory. They were expensive, heavy, fragile and not as efficient as would justify their bad qualities over a more standard cooling unit.

> Just what is a breaking change anyway?

It's just an API kind of thing. If a function / constant / var / type was available and is not anymore, it's a breaking change. It's an objective measure, there is nothing left to subjectivity.

Now, of course a bug fix is going to "break" things if your code relied on the bogus behavior. An updated algorithm can also break things (I maintain a SAT solver, whenever I update the underlying algorithm, even if it's way faster on average, in some limited cases it can make one very specific problem way slower to solve, which can have bad consequences). But as it has no consequence on the API part of things, it's not a major change in semver's meaning.
The ecosystem is already there for devs, except for those interested with directly interacting with their laptop's hardware.
