Thanks for sharing! Yes - but with a BUT: I think it depends where. On average this certainly is very true. But urban areas (I speak for Germany): they will probably not see a decline in population but rather an increase. Less dense areas may die out. Urban areas with strong economies are “hot” and I am not convinced this may change soon.
Home-office may make “urban centers” less attractive and overvalued - but “suburbs” will remain very valuable imho. People still want to have good infrastructure and schools, so even with a shift from city-center office work to “suburb-homeoffice” I don’t think this will change...

And for clarification: in Germany (over-simplified) expensive locations in city centers run at 10kEUR/sqm, suburbs maybe at 4k-7k EUR/sqm in strong regions? So this may sound “super cheap” to folks in the US with a bit of upside until we reach “US prices”.

I am sorry and surprised to hear that they didn’t make inflation even on the sale... Crazy.

Copyright law is variable worldwide and (in the EU) the question is actually shifting a bit at the moment but speaking very generally,

You can create your own things in Lego and that will be your own copyright work if you've exercised your own creative input in making it.

If it's a copy of someone else's Lego model (or equivalent) that's not your work and would infringe theirs.

If you're portraying some external thing with Lego the question is more complicated. It varies from a general impressionist rendition of some thing (your work) to a pixel-by-pixel perfect recreation in little Lego dots (not your work). But that's not specific to Lego.

This is just a thumbnail sketch of a huge question. Your examples are useful but don't cover the full range of texture that real life brings.
Have you seen a 3080 somewhere? Like in a store where you could buy it? :-). Could just be the Bay Area but those things seem to be pretty scarce.
A regenerative CO2 scrubber that people could install inline with existing whole house AC systems would be a big success. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
It does not work great for me on mobile at first visit (UI/UX), but it seems like a fantastic astronomy resource. Will have a look from desktop.
Things are complicated when the remote computer calls your desktop. But that's how X works.

That's also why once in a while somebody discover a completely unexpected vulnerability on it that, although simple nobody thought about it before. Things are so non-intuitive that it's hard even to talk about them.

Yet, somehow it works. And works quite well. I imagine the authors of that book are quite annoyed by how Unix evolve to work really well, and still avoided fixing any fundamental problem.
> > why doesn't your site redirect http to https

Please don't; if we want https, we can[1] do that redirection on the browser side; doing it on the server side means your site doesn't work[0] with user agents that don't include whatever random cryptographic code your site has decided to make de-facto mandatory.

> I figure that people can go to https directly if it's important to them.

Exactly, thank you.

0: because `GET /whatever` no longer returns a http response body; the fact that the status code is 3xx rather than 200 OK or the presence of a Location header isn't directly relevant.

1: Obviously it's good to support https in addition to http; it's not supporting http that's a problem.

> The rule of transferred intent.

Applying that to this incident seems barbaric. The "transferred intent" is stealing. Sure they're jerks, but don't make them out to be murderers. The fact that a woman died was an accident through and through.

The very worst case scenario they saw when they initiated their crime was that some data would be lost. The transferred intent is that the data of another organisation was going to be lost.

That a woman died was an accident.
I tried to acknowledge that by pointing out that it was an anecdote. My point was mostly that it is condescending and short sighted to think that young people’s decision about where to live boils down to pride.
Ok... but why was your conclusion dismissed? This is very troubling.
Family and close friends? Yes, sure - I don't even have many family members on Facebook.

Acquiantances I haven't seen for 5 years because they live in a distant place? No I wouldn't bother. But I like visiting Facebook once a week and check up on what everyone's been up to. The less often I visit the better stuff I get shown.
> My understanding is that Lego bricks are a system. Their website footer says LEGO System A/S, DK-7190 Billund, Denmark.

> And that in the US systems are not copyrightable: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/102

Wouldn't this logic imply that operating systems are not copyrightable, or that works created using products from Adobe Systems Inc. are not copyrightable?

Would the group of literate people contain enough people also concerned with accurate record keeping? They seem to be relatively distinct and not necessarily overlapping skills or interests. And plenty of record get lost no matter how well they're kept. Fires, floods, disinterest, etc.

But for some people such a lineage is like a vanity address. And they will go out of their way to dig up a connection like this and absent that they will create one. Throughout the world it's pure gold especially for politicians, it establishes the kind of historical legitimacy and connection to land and country that's far more exclusive than "just" joining the military (the other common vehicle for populist patriotism, even if one would never be exposed to any real danger).
Intel has really improved their GPU. Intel 11th gen come with av1 hardware decode, amd does not even do VP9.
And that's still better than e.g. CNN, which took months to admit that hydroxychloroquine might possibly be useful.

That's the difference: over there, you can actually consider possibilities that aren't part of the official story, and then come to your own conclusions. CNN was simply wrong; 4chan was noisy, but did have the right answer.

If you ignore everything on CNN that was wrong, in some cases (like vitamin D and hydroxychloroquine) there's nothing left at all.
Had to look it up - thanks for that:

Calvinball is a game invented by Calvin and Hobbes. Calvinball has no rules; the players make up their own rules as they go along, making it so that no Calvinball game is like another.

Rules cannot be used twice (except for the rule that rules cannot be used twice), and any plays made in one game may not be made again in any future games. The game may involve wickets, mallets, volleyballs, and additional sports-related equipment.

There is only one permanent rule in Calvinball: players cannot play it the same way twice. For example, in one game of Calvinball, the goal was to capture the opponent's flag, whereas in a different game of Calvinball, the goal was to score points by hitting badminton shuttlecocks against trees using a croquet mallet. Masks must be worn at all times in Calvinball; these are not allowed to be questioned.

As this is a protocol level vulnerability, older versions of Samba were also affected.

Security release announcement is here:

https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2020-1472.html

After a previous vulnerability we changed our defaults to require schannel for release 4.8, which protects against the CVE-2020-1472 problem, but admins could turn off this protection to work with older/less secure products.

Further hardening of Samba is currently taking place to protect our users from the bug.
> Isn't this true for any source of distraction?

Thought the same thing. Sure I can put my smartphone out of sight while working but I am on a computer with the same exact level of access that my smartphone provides. Sometimes I can get in a zone and sometimes I flip between work and distracting myself with sites like HN. I can answer SMS and DMs for all my services and social sites in the browser. Pre-pandemic you can throw an open office plan into the mix as a big distractor as well. I listen to non-vocal chill electronic music while I work and I bet there's some study out there showing that listening to any type of music while trying to work reduces cognitive capacity (I'm speculating here). I feel like managing distraction just a big part of life these days.
I have not tried SCons, and I have not heard about it in a while.
Is it good? who does it compare to CMkae or Bazel?

For context, I don't like autotools.
You can't buy a Tiger Lake in a store, either.
That's utter nonsense. Of course they can. And they often do. Studies have limitations usually based on the statistics as a result of the size of the group and the degree to which confounding factors can be ruled out. But it is perfectly possible to establish a causative link by doing a well designed study, possibly even with small sample size.
In general, when your OS or system software (Database, Webserver, etc.) vendor releases a patch for an exploitable vulnerability, this requires immediate attention.

It is true that mental models are a natural way to think about the world. I think it's so natural that it doesn't need to be called out. It's better to focus on honing your models than it is to look at the meta-process surrounding the existence of models, I think.

I mean, for example, why worry about filling a perceived gap in your mental models (e.g., ponder the existence of the Overton Window as a model of group decision making and political discourse), when just learning about the Overton Window (without all this mental model meta-tagging) is already a useful thing to think about when making decisions.

I'm glad that the "General thinking concepts" are not being cast as "mental models", that would be a meta-classification error. (Aphorisms != Models the same way as Information!=Data or Knowledge!=wisdom).

But seriously, this is just a book marketing page that keeps getting re-written and re-posted over and over.
I recommend checking out https://www.adafruit.com -- good blogs, kits, and learning resources in the hardware realm.
Agreed, trying to take notes that are actually valuable long term is a distraction for me. I take very sparse notes by hand, just the critical stuff: mostly names, dates, and anything I need to follow up on. Diagrams and doodles make up the rest.

It usually takes two days to fill up a notebook page. I'll review that page when it's full and make sure everything is either done, filed away, or on my calendar. Then toss the page in the recycling bin.

If detailed notes are valuable enough to keep long term, take minimal notes but record it. Later read any related written materials, then document it after you've understood it.
Be aware that there are databases such as The Work Number that can end up letting both companies know about your employment with the other. The odds are likely very low of that happening as there's little reason for an HR department to check on your listing after you're employed but it's not a zero chance. Also if at some point go to work at an unrelated company and they check your employment background, they're going to see you were working two jobs concurrently, at which point you may be tempted to lie and say they were part-time or knew about each other which could be denied by either or both.
Can you please expand on that advice? What should we be paying attention to?

Nothing complicated about it: LEGO stole the idea, copied the marketing materials and the boxes including the artwork, improved on the design a bit and proceeded to sue everybody and their brother who made 'counterfeit' LEGO.

That they bought the rights to the Kiddiecraft designs many years later was just a way to whitewash this sordid part of their history.

Hello, yes, recent member of the HN note-taking crowd here. Throwaway meeting notes are exactly my use case. It helps that I do most of my thinking on paper anyway so I have a pen and pad handy at all times. For me it's all about focus. Writing is an activity that I enjoy doing independent of what I'm actually writing. Can't zone out if I'm taking notes which leaves me in a position to drop all of the many great insights I always have in every single meeting.
Genesis chapter 11 verse 10 explains the genealogy of shem

Shem was a black man, in africa. Repeat this fact they can't laugh at ya

Genesis 14 verse 13: Abraham steps on the scene.

Being a descendent of shem which was a fact means

Abraham too was black.

Abraham born in the city of a black man named nimrod grandson of ham

Ham had four sons, one was named canaan. Let me do some explainin

Abraham was the father of isaac, isaac was the father of jacob. Jacob had twelve sons (for real)

And these were the children of israel.

According to genesis chapter 10, egyptians descended from Ham

400 years later, my brother re-upped. Moses was born in egypt.

Moses had to be of the black race, because he spent 40 years in Pharoah's place.

Moses passed as the Pharoah's grandson, so he had to look just like him...
This is an awesome quote... Same argument used by the Linux kernel developers.
Then this still wouldn't be a great test. A person can use rote learning to memorize the standard portion but then be terrible when they are left to think for themself to create the non-standard.

I actually like fizz-bang interviews - just don't expect me to have algorithms memorized in a formal way. They give an interviewer the ability to see how the candidate translates the requirements into code, what their process is, how they think about the subject matter.

I agree about the shoulders-of-giants statement. That's sort of what I'm was getting at with my comment about using standard libraries. If I'm using pandas dataframes, there's no reason for me to build an algorithm/code to join multiple dataframes. If I were the interviewer, I would certainly view a candidate in a better light if they bring up this point rather than just jump into coding duplicate functionality.
Ask HN: What are the specs of a typical stock or crypto exchange host?
I'm interesting in knowing what kind of hardware and platform are required to pull off that level of performance. Certainly there's a sizeable gap between a small crypto exchange and the NASDAQ, just in general.
It's python, so you can write your own abstractions as you see fit. Like any general purpose programming language, you can make something maintainable or you can make a mess.

I respect that she uses herself as the subject of these paintings.

On difficult subjects, if the artist is also the model, then you neatly sidestep the problem of the potential that they didn’t know what they were doing, or that they were coercing the model, or that they were debasing the model by objectifying them.

Now, it is possible for someone to coerce someone else to be both artist and model, but that meta-level of coercion would happen off the page/screen/canvas.
Do you think the orders aren't unconstitutional?

Details on why you don't like the judge and which media outlet I referenced (i honestly just googled the story and grabbed the first one I saw) digresses from my point. And fyi once you digress from the main topic and shift to sub-aspects (without actually addressing the main point), it usually means you're arguing in bad faith, or your cognitive dissonance is kicking in. It's a mechanism used by closed-minded and stubborn people...Food for thought.

That sounds like a better solution - I'd guess most a/v systems are used for pre-recorded video that could deal with more delay during stop/start/pause but giving you more synchronization.

To really do it right though I think it would be cool to tune everything somehow. So have a microphone + photodiode sensor you put in your chair, then run a test and have it synchronize all audio and video sources together. (maybe it could even be pointed to your bluetooth headset and do that delay too)

I think with that setup, you could not only get good synchronization, you could probably tune the delay to the minimal value (maybe you could still do stuff like something live)
The Phish Scale
Lots of comments about how people are only transparent about their failures after they're successful.

There are plenty of reasons to conceal the failures in real time, but the two that jump to mind for me are:

1) not wanting your current employer to know you're looking, and

2) not wanting to advertise that you've been rejected to other future job prospects. (Could prime people into wondering "What's wrong with this candidate?" if you don't make it somewhere else.)
You're already getting the hang of it.
I use Solarized everywhere, largely because it is generally available for almost every developer tool and it is dead-simple to do light/dark mode setup. However, this is completely different than theming an OS to look like another you use: the amount of work to even get something basic is significantly more, and usually the end result sucks regardless.
IANAL; this is not legal advice.

My instinct is yes lego models would attract copyright protection, but copyright applies to works that have a distinctive quality to them. If you make a generic house, no copyright.

Also, people only infringe if they copy, just creating the same lego model isn't enough and courts are likely to need extraordinary proof to sway the 'balance of probabilities' towards the work being a copy.

Yes, instructions can be reproduced as they are factual and not artistic, but you can't necessarily copy the way the instructions are presented (eg images are likely to be protected by copyright, but an image of a single brick wouldn't pass the distinctiveness threshold; and also probably wouldn't be copied).

You'd need to make it explicitly clear if you didn't have trademark approval from Lego that your lego models were not originated by them (if your images show their bricks or use the word "lego").

In the UK, Design Rights might be more relevant, but I know very little about them. In other countries Utility Patents might also have relevance.

If your designs are functional then the functional elements won't accrue copyright/design rights.

In UK you'd probably be limited to actual damages for infringements (people copying your lego model), ~£0.

I consider lego to be genericised, but courts would probably disagree.

This is a really important result for Intel, as they might continue to keep on being competitive for certain workloads. Intel managing to eek out some more life out of the one thing they still had (and were about to lose): single thread performance.

One thing that Intel has done incredibly well these past five years is eeking out every damn thing out of Skylake they had (IIUC this is still fundamentally an iteration on Skylake, albeit the biggest we had since 2015). Their inability to improve process and architecture is painful to watch but man have they stretched what they already had under this competitive pressure.

That power consumption though, oof. Anything that is remotely multithreaded suffers immediately, and this will be obliterated again by Zen 3 APUs, and likely Apple's A14X. But there's some chance now they will still be able to win some benchmarks against AMD and Apple into next year, so good for them!
Guess I missed that. That makes sense, it's an interesting trade-off though. I suspect that including Vue via a script tag is not how the majority of users implement Vue; and therefore clinging to the virtual DOM may be a net-negative for most use cases. Personally, I am using Vue for a data-intensive app where performance really really matters. Although, I understand how broadening access to the framework increases availability and adoption; and for most use cases these performance considerations don't have any real world implications.

It is interesting though looking across benchmarks though and seeing non virtual DOM frameworks crushing their counterparts in terms of speed. I wonder if we'll see more growth in that space in the future.

Probably not, since it's optimized for scientific workloads (being designed specifically for the K computer replacement) (so it doesn't have texture units, ROPs, etc; you'd have to do too much in software to make it actually render things). However I think the overall design is really good and has enormous potential, if not for graphics at the very least for ML.

The vector architectures with extremely high memory bandwidth coming out of Japan recently (NEC SX-Aurora Tsubasa, Fujitsu A64FX) are pretty fascinating.
If on Android, bubbleupnp. It is a solid and well maintained app.
> I don't think a single build system is necessary or desirable.

Why not? In the old days, it was "./configure; make". Today, it's much less certain what build system(s) you'll have to deal with when building a FOSS tool. That's not a problem when everything works, but as experience shows, more often than not you'll run into issues and then I would say it's nice if you are familiar with the system.

And just like with other tools it's nice if everybody uses the same thing. Github wouldn't exist if everybody rolled their own version control system, for example.
