Yes, exactly. More single home dwellings coupled with nuclear power and a complete absence of "snark". That's the ticket! Have you heard about the growth mindset?
You might also need a decongestant. You can take them separately over the counter or combined with a prescription for something like Claritin-D.
Not sure why this was downvoted. Police proceedings seemed to be reasonable and if one were to trust reports about the defendants posts the charges are justified.

If the defendant were in his home country he would have been arrested all the same for not following procedures and appearing when asked. Please check the whole story before you just downvote.

People often criticize the police in Thailand when they are doing their job (issuing tickets, lol) and also when they aren’t doing their job (when it’s not their jurisdiction or position). Thailand is not much different than other countries and has laws that need to be followed. Many foreigners including me live in Thailand for decades and manage it just fine to not get into trouble while posting harsh negative reviews online. :)
I find that machine translation is getting better at producing what reads as grammatically correct text, but that it still misses a lot of what is said, even when the idioms and expressions used are common. Often what is produced is grammatical, but opposite/orthogonal of the initial intent.

In a sense, I feel that this is an even worse situation, because the word-salad signal that it isn't an accurate-meaning translation isn't as strong.
I've read those papers. There's ostensible evidence put forward, but I find zero of it to be good evidence, personally. Nick Szabo is definitely a more likely match, with better evidence, but I think there's almost no chance it's him, either.

>But it doesn’t really matter in the end in my opinion. The whole point was to not have a godhead.

Of course; but it's not about that. It's about the mystery, the challenge, the thrill of the adventure.

It's one of the absolute strangest and most enigmatic events in internet history - when else has some open source software blown up to even 0.0001% of this level with a 100% anonymous creator who no one's come close to identifying (that we know of)?

Would I reveal who Satoshi was if I found out? Probably not. Their life would probably undeservedly become much harder and much worse. But I still sure as hell would be interested to know who made this thing.

Also, if we know who it is, then we know who it isn't. Rumors over certain people being Satoshi can be very irresponsible.
A related question: Can a president pre-emptively pardon himself? I think there was some deal being worked on Jeff Epstein's case where that could have happened.

Shockingly, the government doesn't confer with me before making these decisions.
What you want for asymmetric cryptography is "always hard to solve, easy to verify". Only a very small number of problems are believed to fall in this category, including factoring and discrete logarithm.

It's far more common to have problems that are "sometimes easy to solve, sometimes hard to solve, easy to verify". That describes this problem as well as most NP-hard problems that with good heuristic solutions. The problem is those "sometimes easy to solve" cases break your cryptography!

I've seen plenty of people getting all upset that they think Swift 5.3 is still as broken as Swift 1 or 2 back when they last tried it. There are also those, some in this thread, who are proclaiming their high level language of choice as superior just because they're more familiar with it.
ASLR is a legitimate mitigation for real attacks and a very effective one that has no impact on debuggability. ASAN is not suitable for any production code due to its overhead.
Exactly. The only thing we can keep doing is consuming more and more energy. And who wants to get that from bombing and subverting nations around the world? Not you... you're nice. Not me... I am woke. So, the only thing to do is to build nuclear power stations everywhere.

I would think a GPU might help if you have a lot of audio channels and a lot of effects on each channel.

But even if that is not the case, machine learning is making its way into music production tools more and more. No doubt a beefy GPU will be useful to a lot of music production professionals in the future at least, as the tools they are using begin to leverage ML more and more.
I don't have tiktok but according to anecdotal evidence from family members who do, the propaganda you describe seemed to be people doing stupid things in their bathroom while getting hurt in the process.

You'd probably say 'potential' but just think about it, banning something for 'potential'. Is that where we are right now?
Hacker News is not an encyclopedia or doctoral thesis. There is no expectation here that people provide a citation for every statement they make or always start from first principles.

When people won’t simply discuss and instead keep falling back on “citation needed,” it’s a form of rhetorical trolling called Sea-lioning [1]

"Government", "administration", and "party" are all the same thing in China. So something like:

"Huawei would be forced to hand over 5G data to the Chinese government if it was asked for it, because of national security laws, experts told CNBC."

...is really no different from the US, is it?

And while China has lots of problems, citing a lack of "rule of law" in this context is rather brave. Also: if you believe everything called "communist party" is "communist", you definitely have to pay the beer at the next "RePUBlican Party" meeting.
You don't have to believe, national security is an official reason.

I was wrong, he only earned $197.3 million from the Apprentice.

There was $230 million in "Endorsement and licensing deals that followed the show’s debut"

So it is not like NBC paid him half a billion. It was only 1/5th of a billion.
Give two people the exact same task. Enough times to get useful statistics. It would be very hard from observation only, you kind have to set up experiments like this to know.

Paragraph 5 of the LGPL version 2.1 states:

A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
Thanks, you're right it could use a few more layouts, 75% is probably the biggest omission. I didn't want it to be too overwhelming with too many variations as I see this as more of a tool to get a vibe for what a board could look like (possibly to help with interest checks) rather than a tool to recreate all possible layouts.

I'd also like to explore adding different audio options for switches types but that seemed like a projects unto itself haha.

Talk about the GDPR isn't threatened retribution. It's just something that happens when you violate the GDPR. That's like saying that talk about tax law and the tax office and calling something “tax fraud” is a threat.

I do understand about the tweets, though. Calling out perceived hypocrisy, especially when there are legitimate reasons it's not hypocrisy, is a threaty sort of thing.
It's a tool of the government, not a company. It's not meant to make money.
I remember the awful days of fake hard-float support in ARMv4. Trapping to the kernel and doing soft float there was was 10x worse than just doing soft float in userspace in the first place.

Now, imagine doing that for xor-and-rotate, or bitfield insert/extract. Or leading zero count, or indexed memory access.

No. Thanks.
paying for pirated stuff is a messy minefield, but it's actually a pretty interesting thought - piracy is what spurred the music industry to shift to new models that allowed more consumer-friendly businesses like spotify to exist. i've never even considered pirating a news website before, but it seems like the sort of thing that should be possible.
How do you exactly prove something isn’t occurring?
Yes, I've said it before. Trump will attack you for writing an mean article about him. But somehow people believe that Trump leaving a rally visibly upset because of actions by TikTok's users and him attacking TikTok literally 3 weeks later are unrelated events.

They're definitely related. It's literally an action->response... and it fits Trumps modus operandi perfectly... he's done it numerous times.
I am absolutely positive that they will vote for him even if he publicly endorses Biden himself.

Ask HN: What are some macOS automation tips and tricks?
Any business with china is a national security issue. There's plenty of evidence to the level of dictatorship in China. It's your responsibility to look at its history and make reasonable conclusions from it. If you want some sort of smoking gun evidence you're not going to find it, unless you somehow have a security clearance in China good enough to gain knowledge about their operations.

It's a Chinese company, they have privledges, not rights.
So you are saying the reason a huge problem exists is because money? Hold the phone.
This is rather difficult to believe!

At a minimum... there's no way to know that the alien base invasions are a thing, and unless you've laid out your bases in order to facilitate their defense -- setting up chokepoints and such -- they are easy pickings for the aliens. That's something you could get right by luck the first time... but there's no reason to lay your base out in such a way unless you know about it.

It's also difficult to know things like which weapons you can manufacture for strong financial returns. The midgame is tough unless you stumble upon this.

Also, just in general, winning strategies to beat the aliens aren't that easy to come by. Takes a fair amount of experimentation and heavy soldier losses. It's really tough to progress if you lose a lot of soldiers and/or drop ships.

And on your first play through it's also not clear what timetable you're working with and how fast the alien threats ramp up. Some of that is tied to your progression and some isn't IIRC.

Aside from the base layout thing, savescumming can definitely help obviously. =)

Of course, I know there were revisions made between the Euro, US, and Playstation versions. I think there were some difficulty tweaks. Not sure. So perhaps we had different experiences in that regard.

> ...is really no different from the US, is it?

It is enormously different in that it is judicially reviewable (if not in need of an outright warrant) and the USA is a country where there are limits on government. This post, specifically the "judge temporarily blocks" is proof that the USA is a fundamentally different country.

> Also: if you believe everything called "communist party" is "communist", you definitely have to pay the beer at the next "RePUBlican Party" meeting.

I have not commented on communism as a general topic at all. I am specifically talking about the entity named the Chinese Communist Party.
I could, but then I end up with everyone else on the team (also developing on Mac) being confused about why my shell scripts don't run on their computers.
Both of the books you mentioned have good film adaptations as well! The 1945 film version of “And Then There Were None”, and especially the Sidney Lumet version of “Murder on the Orient Express”. The scene of Poirot laying out his theory for the assembled passengers is amazing.

>The next global conflict will likely be one between the east and the west, with control of information being advantageous to both sides in the conflict

Your linked position is that this is basically an ideological war, and that China won't quit until it has destroyed "liberalism." So why are you advocating the destruction of a key aspect of liberalism, the right to the free spread of ideas?

This reeks of classic red scare techniques. Those damn Chinese are more concerned with destroying our way of life than internal affairs, and we must abandon our values to stop the risk.

At least in the current system, if I saw an app with "ratings disabled" I would assume the ratings are terrible and the developer doesn't want me to see that.

If in a future system I could see that the app had disabled ratings from its initial release, I would assume the developer anticipated the ratings to be mediocre to poor.

They decide what content is viewed by millions of teens who will be voting in a few years. It’s not that far fetched to show them more violent content / mildly biased content / etc in order to move their political views a bit.
All problems in NP seem to be hard to solve and easy to verify. This is actually a really common property.
This whole shift to China as the new "enemy" is fascinating. Even though Trump is more or less mental, and is recognised as such, he has somehow managed to whip up this new cold war frenzy even among his opponents in the media. I can barely remember any focus on China before Trump. Not saying that there shouldn't be any but it's still interesting how this can spread to the entire country even if the author is an untrustworthy demagogue.
It really irked me that here in Canada the options were generally skewed towards mothers remaining home. You can split 40 weeks of parental leave, but many employers won't provide parental benefits and those that do often only provide parental benefits to mothers. For instance, my employer at the time provided wage top-up for women on leave but nothing for men.

Just one of _many_ structually sexist policies in society at large that ultimately contribute to the wage gap.

Of course I stayed at work, and of course my wife now has enormous gaps in her work history, and so of course my yearly gains in income have outpaced hers.
We had a mirror that our dog walked by every day, one day because of a surgery she was wearing a t-shirt to help prevent her from bothering the surgery site. First time she walked by the mirror she startled, realized she was wearing a t-shirt, and walked off.

Similarly when she walked by and we wave she immediately snaps her hear around to look at us.

Certainly seems like she understands mirrors and never treated a dog in the mirror as anything but herself.
Perhaps for large calculations? Otherwise the PCI transfer delay would be a big latency hit?
The Constitution doesn't restrict presidential pardons except in cases of impeachment. If Trump pardoned himself I am sure eventually the Supreme Court would have to rule on it.

Do you have a source on this? I moderate reddit’s law school admissions forum and have never once heard of legacy admissions being a factor for law schools.

I’m not saying it’s not a thing: Yale in particular may have different rules since they’re at the very top. But law school admissions are heavily heavily affect by gpa/LSAT medians. School rankings rise and fall based on those, and there’s no fudging it.

I just searched the forum and the consensus seems to be legacy is at most a small soft, unless the parent is a large donor. (Softs tend not to count for much in law school apps unless you already pass the medians)

https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/search?q=Legacy...
What "reasons" did the parent cite, and why exactly did you flag this? There is no rule against political content on HN.
That seems physically plausible, though it would be a lot easier if we could make methane efficiently, because we already have the infrastructure to transport and burn it.
Seconding this recommendation. Excellent stories and high quality acting. PBS runs them occasionally late at night.
The main way you'd be interoperating with ls is through pipelines, and GNU ls doesn't do any pretty-printing of paths when used in a pipeline (besides, arguably the correct way of handling paths that may have newlines or spaces embedded is with `find -print0` but that's a whole different topic). Or is there some other aspect of interoperability you're referring to?

But if we're being honest, path handling (as well as structured data) in shell scripts and pipelines has always been of the largest trash-fires in Unix -- while I don't personally like how Powershell solved the problem on Windows at least they tried to solve it.

Open up Automator. I remain surprised at the capabilities Automator offers out of the box.

As an example, for work I have bitmap images that come from an embedded system. They get pulled into a folder where a folder action crops them to particular dimensions and converts them into PNGs. The cropping is actually done with a shell script via imagemagick. You can mix and match scripts with Automator actions.
I am getting the weirdest downvotes. Is the BOFH a member of HN, and currently getting offended that I'm trying to be courteous to my colleagues about how I write my shell scripts?

Another Hal anecdote: Caltech at one point had a contest against MIT about who could write a Gomoku program that could beat the other. On a lark, Hal decided to enter a program he wrote over the weekend. It beat MIT.

That was when I found out Hal was not your average bear. Usually, he was just the friendly fellow who was always up for taking as many students as would fit into his VW bug to Tommy's at 3AM. I was small enough at the time to fit in the luggage slot behind the back seat.
Wouldn’t that be a problem for the court, not firms? It’s the court’s problem if they can’t hire clerks.

Firms are indirectly solving the court’s problem but it doesn’t explain why they do.
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle–Swift was not created in a vacuum, of course, but it does have to take Objective-C into account and thus we have the concepts of designated and convenience initializers, or implicitly unwrapped optionals. However, if you look at them more closely it's pretty clear they exist to bridge Objective-C to Swift concepts–fully initialize your objects before you use them, or annotate your code for nullability, which is where Swift wants you do go.
Every single comment that highlights something negative about trump gets downvoted, like clockwork. It's either an automated bot or an army of very bored trump supporters.

I used a few ways to automate certain tasks in the previous versions of MacOS.

- Automator. The Automator allows you to create routines so you can do things like automating the change in theme after a specific time or something close to that. Essentially, it helps in creating routines and automating other tasks as well.

- Apple Script. You can write pure AppleScript to automate tasks.

You can definitely always use languages like Python for writing scripts that are generally meant for MacOS and automate tasks.
