Similar to my case. I have an old Wacom Intuos, and have slowly been doing less Python/Java and spending more of spare time re-learning how to use the tablet. Might even buy a new one, although looks like other brands caught up and their hardware/drivers work as well as Wacom's.

Well, it's hard to tell apart, because people are not good at communicating their situation.

In some cases I'm really just grasping in an unfamiliar territory and I would appreciate overall guidance of "you're holding that from the wrong end", big picture view of how things actually work and fit together instead of the twisted ways I may have come up with.

At other times, I'm already quite familiar with an area and I'm trying to fix some rare case where I really need what I say I need, because I know the usual way, but in my case it won't work and having read up on some bug report discussions, I'm certain I will have to make a certain workaround work and it will require something unusual, but possible.

It's just like how a help desk technician will ask me to turn my router off and on again, even though I'm a power user. It is because everyone, especially ignorant people think they know what's wrong, and they are never mistaken (just read /r/talesfromtechsupport).

If you want to get past this, make sure to write in a way that's uncommon from ignorant people. Include what you have tried, what makes your case special, write with good spelling and formatting, use the technical terminology right to show you are experienced etc.
Delighted to see that this is still going and that development appears to be very active.

I was similar to this. Wrote in Markdown, eventually ended up in Google Docs. But kept my source in markdown.

You can use Pandoc to generate PDF's then send out pdfs via Google Drive so people can comment and add suggestions. This was really useful for proofing, but having to pull up two screens and make changes to source instead of the annotated version was a bit painful.
Security and privacy are last on the list and marked with an "essentiality" score of 1/3. I think as an industry, we need to do a better job of emphasizing and prioritizing those topics early and often throughout the educational process, or else the perpetual cycle of data misuse, leaks, and breaches is bound to continue.
I’ve been an insatiable knuckle cracker my entire life. I remember being told all the time it would cause arthritis.

Glad to hear it probably doesn’t.

It does feel like a release to me, which if it is “similar to a popping balloon,” holds some merit.

If we think the advantages of monopoly power are undesirable, we should tax them. Don't fine them for abusing monopoly power; it's an asset, tax them just for having it. Same thing that Sanders said about the banks - tax them for simply being large, and they'll break themselves up.

This reminds me of my years in university. There was always a professor with this attitude, and it was always the case that the professor was misunderstanding and not helping the student.

Students do ask lots of questions where a professor rightfully says "You don't want to do X, you want Y." But the few professors that insist on it are always problematic. Thank God for TAs and other professors one can turn to.
The median home value in houston and dallas the two largest cities in TX is ~$200k, at 2.5% comes out to $5k in property taxes. The high property tax offsets the lack of state income tax.

The high property tax also incentives local governments to encourage real estate development since that brings in more tax income. That then results in lower housing costs.

Houston for example literally doesn't even have zoning laws. The downside to this is you may have to evacuate your house at 12am when there is an industrial chemical spill at the petro-chemical plant they build 1/2 a mile from your house. The upside is when home values start pricing people out developer will line up around the block to buy out sfh to build affordable mid rise apartment/condo units.

> Everyone should be using full disk encryption

Should they? Regardless of threat model? It's point and click easy on macOS (and probably Windows) so sure why not, but a bit more involved on Linux. I think encrypt a directory (ies) that actually warrants protecting is enough for most people, where the threat is casual even opportunistic theft rather than an organised, targeted attack.

> Low-level and high-performance code is not "pretty" by modern standards, as it often requires DMA and tight control over data placement in order to fully leverage instruction-level and hardware-level parallelism.

This is true if you look at implementations like these:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

for example:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

vs.

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

I'd say the C++ code in this particular case is not only much longer but also uglier.

However, how much of a fraction of C++ code in use does really require direct control over DMA calls? If you could get an at least equally fast result as when writing "normal C++" in Rust, with more safety and less effort for debugging, would this not be tempting for many people using C++? Because this is what I observed in my case. And this given that I've written no more than a few hundred lines of performance-critical code in Rust, and have worked for > 10 years on performance-critical code in C++ and C.
That quotes a glibc comment "we also support negative `signed char' values for broken old programs" which means the OP code is in fact going to behave OK with glibc, providing that "support for broken old programs" is never removed.

Usually the people answering this way don't know how to fix the problem being asked, they know something that upon first reading looks sort of similar and they want to look smart so they shout "xy problem". This is part of why this behaviour is so infuriating - it's usually the low quality responders who act this way, but there are so many of them that they drown out the high quality ones. Yes I'm bitter about SO - first they replaced single purpose mailing lists, and then they went low quality, sort of like a big box store first driving out the mom and pop stores and then replace everything with plastic low quality merchandise.

As a knuckle cracker myself, it's certainly relieving that there's no evidence of degenerative harm even though there are apparently a few cases we'd probably see it if it occurred. However, the reduced grip strength (admittedly small N) is notable. If that is a change that occurs on a relative short timescale (i.e., starts when you start cracking your knuckles and stops when you stop), it's potentially feasible to study with an RCT. I bet you could even estimate compliance with knuckle-cracking instructions using something like a FitBit.
What is that subset?
Agree (though I dropped the Economist a bit earlier). The Financial Times has followed the same path unfortunately. I was a long time reader (15y+) and it used to be pretty austere and reliable (good things in my opinion) but in the last few years it has become pretty much a gigantic opinion piece, with all articles biased to push a narrative. I know people around me who also cancelled their subscription for similar reasons (I am happy to pay for news but have no interest in paying for propaganda).
"Consensus is quite clear, both numerically and in terms of strength of argument, that these templates for display on Wikipedia user pages - which broadly speaking express opposition to same-sex marriage - violate the guideline on userbox content restrictions (WP:UBCR) because they are "inflammatory or divisive" and "propaganda [or] advocacy", as prohibited by that guideline. The "delete" opinions also make reference to other policies and guidelines relating to the discrimination of others on Wikimedia projects.

The "keep" side makes the argument that pro-same-sex-marriage userboxes would also need deleting for the same reasons, to which others reply that such userboxes are not similarly problematic because they do not express discriminatory intent. This question cannot be decided in the present discussion because such other userboxes have not been nominated for deletion here."
For me that would mean I see one other person and a bot. I do like my instance though, the other person is the admin and is a reasonable person.

The Lindy effect: The Lindy effect is a theory that the future life expectancy of some non-perishable things like a technology or an idea is proportional to their current age, so that every additional period of survival implies a longer remaining life expectancy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect

From that I reasoned that breaking headlines are really not much use for anything. Concentrate on old books or documentaries if you want to know what is going on in the world.

I disagree. I think the problem is entirely systemic. I don't think Graham is corrupt, any more than any other Congressman. This is the same problem that the Trump tax returns illustrated. It's all perfectly legal. If you could find a way to pay less tax, you would too. Similarly, if you can get someone to give you campaign dollars for voting a certain way, why _wouldn't_ you sell that vote?

I believe we should fund national-level campaigns with Federal money, depending on the "level" of the race. (And state elections with State money.) Everyone gets the same amount, and all of this nonsense goes away. Will it prevent graft? Of course not, but it would kill the legal-and-public kind.
The title is still wrong - Sweden has had a lockdown (light, certainly, but not "no-lockdown"), what appears to be a summary of new restrictions has actually been in place for months, and there's nothing in the article which says there will be new legal enforcements behind the stronger recommendations. If the old policies wasn't a lockdown then the new one isn't either.

Those folks you mention seem to deliberately use "no lockdown" to describe Sweden, when clearly (I linked to a source, and gave personal observations) there are restrictions, and so is more accurately "light lockdown". I can't help but wonder how it came to be used in this title.

BTW, I looked for mention of upcoming substantial changes at https://www.gp.se/ and found https://www.gp.se/nyheter/sverige/platserna-i-g%C3%B6teborg-... . Google Translate at https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https... .

You can see the changes are in the "sharpness" of the recommendations, and in case of a local outbreak. For example, from "you shouldn't take public transport unless you can book a seat" changes to "you shouldn't take public transport."

But it's still as voluntary as it was a few weeks ago, so if we were "no-lockdown" then we'll still be "no-lockdown" tomorrow.
That older people aren't frightened by this seems like a gross generalization. Plenty of the people disturbed by the rather poor and haphazard against Covid are older people who feel personally threatened.

Everyone experiences aging but in this highly individualized culture, how one interprets the experience is also individualized - varying from welcoming to acceptance to various fitness/health measures aimed to stave it off - plus there's denial and anger.

The problem is that most biased articles aren’t using outrageous headlines or pushing false and/or improbable facts. Most of the bias happens by simply omitting the facts that go against the narrative. No critical reading of the article will give you the missing facts. You kind of need to read away from biased newssources. Or read both sides on every topic.

Commercial television news is very manipulative and the intent of the manipulation is to keep eyeballs glued to the screen to sell ads. They use lots of elaborately animated transitions with bright colors, swooshing sound effects and musical cues to mesmerize viewers, just as slot machines in Vegas use such things to mesmerize gamblers. It's the same sort of graphical bullshit they pad out televized American football with. And the talking head personalities emotively reading from teleprompters are there for viewers to form parasocial relationships with, to keep viewers coming back to that channel. Before social media was invented, the term was created to describe the asymmetric relationships television viewers have with television personalities. The whole industry has manipulation down to a science and I think anybody would be better off reading newspapers instead. Public funded news channels may be better, I remember PBS's News Hour was okay. But is there any value in watching CNN instead of reading the NYTimes? I don't see any.
Yikes - never heard about ankles before. Are you sure that’s not a relieve and the cause at the same time?
> I don't have to have assumptions, I know of real life examples. Not long ago I worked for a company that had a 24 hour live news broadcast. How do you think they handle this?

You example does not address my original question in:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24807064

"How would moderation even work for audio/video conferences?" "Do you have solutions for issues like that?" In your example there must be a delay in broadcasting, for the realtime captioning to happen in. That sort of delay precludes a real time back and forth conversation that is expected from audio/video conferencing.

Secondly I was also asking for a solution that would allow small time actors, like in my example of the conference I attended, to continue to be able to host such conferences with out undue liability or massive investment.

> One of the underlying assumptions in all of this Section 230 talk is "it's too hard to moderate the deluge of user generated content" .... so why even bother trying I guess?

I have not seen that be the main thrust of any argument. To my knowledge Section 230 was in part made to make it easier for more moderation to take place since before some had assumed any level of moderation would induce legal liability, both criminal and finical, for any content that made it past moderation.

> Again, that doesn't seem like the necessary conclusion. It prevents centralized platforms from publishing massive deluges of unvetted content.

As noted above your example above does not apply to my original question an example of a small time actor using audio/video conferencing so I remain unconvinced.
The title is wrong, the car was just announced, it is not available NOW. It does not even have a price announced, otherwise I would probably order one right now.

The benefit to the BEV marketplace is that it gives consumers a point a reference to compare to the upper ends of the market allowing them quickly decide if vehicles between those two points are offering suitable range at their price point.

Originally a Leaf was good for 117 KM EPA/173 KM NEDC.

We have cars pushing or exceeding 500km and a few elite in the 700km+. So repeating myself, people can see this Dacia with its 225km range with a 26.8 kWh battery can be had at just under 18k Euros, they can walk up market and at each stage make a determination in their head as to whether the manufacturer is actually offering a good deal. This is going to put more pressure on those who under perform on range as there are a few just over 300km range at very steep price points
