Don't worry. When it comes to (especially) foreign policy, none of the media have been doing anything but state propaganda since the Remember the Maine incident. If you think blue TV is lying and check red TV you're missing the case where both blue and red agree it's good to lie to people. These cases where they agree revolve around suppressing opposition to corporate rule and around the nature of military alliances and misadventures.

> Just having a generator successfully wards off power failure, you never have to actually turn it on.

Beware, you need to regularly maintain it too (hopefully it does a weekly starter test, and it probably needs yearly oil changes). I didn't check mine, and found the battery charger had failed at about 1 am when my wife had a flight out that morning. That was fun.

(We don't have everything on the generator, so it's not as effective as yours, our utility wiring is actually pretty fragile, and our well pump is one of the things not on the generator, buying a portable genrator for that seems to have helped, but I did have to roll it out a week ago)
fwiw some people develop software for jailbroken devices on their device. They seem to manage somehow. I suspect with a Bluetooth keyboard and an external screen it would be too bad if you had no other choice.
noun
a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, especially for reasons of expediency.

How is this applicable?
I think there's something to this. Leaving aside the sophomore dorm room discussion about whether public bodies should consider fines as revenues streams: when I did a similar analysis (with Matt's help) in the village I live in, I found a multiple-orders-of-magnitude difference in attributable fees between the lowest-fined blocks and the highest-fined blocks; the more heavily ticketed block brought in 5 figures of revenue (that's a lot, for Oak Park). Something is going on there! It should be incumbent on the village to figure out why that's happening, and how to keep it from happening.

(Like Matt, I also found that if you look at the raw data, you'll find citations that are facially invalid; in my case, I found "overnight parking" citations issued in the middle of the day --- 50+ of them).

Last thought: I don't know about the state you live in, but in Illinois it is shockingly easy to FOIA a public body, and the law is to an extraordinary extent on your side. I just flattened Oak Park in a FOIA dispute with just a couple of emails. If you live in a state with Illinois-or-better FOIA (short statutory time window for public bodies to respond, fee recovery for successful legal challenges), you're almost certainly not FOIA'ing enough.

Also, if you're in Illinois: please FOIA your local police general orders, and let me know when you get them; I'm collecting them.
The RIAA's whole argument is based upon the premise that ALL YouTube content is copyrighted. I do not believe that is the case. YouTube-dl is just a tool. A tool can be used for both legal and illegal purposes. If a tool user does something illegal with a tool, the user should be prosecuted and not the tool. (The same logic applies to guns.)
First of all, a map can be defined as a list where the even elts are labels and the odd ones are values. So it would be a lot like lisp but every elt in every list would have an extra before it, a short string name.
Oberth effect is useful for every reasonable trip - since every reasonable trip either originates or ends deep within a gravity well. (And being in orbit deep within a gravity well implies being at high velocity) It's why you make an escape burn at periapsis and not apoapsis.

Probably. I read it first in Spanish from the BBC https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-54429012 and also found the one that someone quoted here from the New York Times.
I think this is naive thinking. That transition can be some of the most difficult time for companies. Even for countries. Think of it analogous to the middle income trap. This usually isn't an issue for the people that are first to producing a product, but if you're building a competing product then it is a danger. Potentially. Of course there will be companies that succeed and I may be too conservative. But it is, I think, at least worth considering. Something to keep an eye on if you choose that route.
> Apple is not an advertising company, and doesn’t make a buck selling my data.

Instead they (mean to) make a buck selling you to Google, who is and does.

Using DDG, and caring about price, puts you in the negligible 1% of iPhone users who fail to substantially reduce the value of Google's subscription investment.

> But of course humans don't infringe when they watch/listen/read a copyrighted work and it changes their state of mind.

You're not generally distributing, performing, &c. your state of mind. On the other hand, if you then go and generate work based on what you read, then distributing that work certainly can be infringing. Thus "clean room" techniques, where one team reads copyrighted text, writes up a spec (which may then be checked off by lawyers), and then another team, without reading the copyrighted text, implements based off the spec, are sometimes used to attempt to launder copyright taint.

Taking a step back, the fact that well-known authors have infamously declared that they don't read fanfiction as a CYA move against accusations of plagiarism suggests that yes, brains that have read text are widely considered derivative.
GitLab has used Google Cloud since 2018 and Microsoft Azure prior. Both cloud providers are required to comply with sanctions.

>Why doesn't Gitlab simply host their services outside US jurisdiction?

Because GitLab is a US company. They moved their headquarters to California (incorporated in Delaware) in 2014.
> They own the sites, not the people or their discourse.

They sure believe they own the people and they do own the discourse, sometimes almost literally so in giving themselves unlimited IP rights to it. And this is part of the problem--that they censor communications between willing participants.

We wouldn't stand for this with the phone companies and we shouldn't for any other oligarch-controlled monopoly entities.

The larger a share of the world audience a platform owns, the less it should be able to censor.

Otherwise, one of these days, someone you don't approve of will get power over these companies and then it will be too late to regret it.

I don't like the proverbial nazis on the front lawn, but when your 'front lawn' is the entire country, and it's less literal nazis and more 'people who get accused of being witches', it's harder to support.

With great power should come great responsibility. I don't think we should hand over control of everyone's speech to a cartel of billionaires.
It's basically the same in the US. Taking care of your "Mental Health" is corporate speak for burnout. There is talk about avoiding burnout, but if someone has to actually take leave because of it, there are no legal protections for burnout, but there are for mental health issues. Mental health can be treated, but burnout is harder to come back from in the eyes of the company.
> they are simply standing with the people who specifically are being oppressed

Except on every topic tangentially related to China as a massive agreement seeking disclaimer, when there are just other things going on.

Other countries have problems, massive problems, rogue intelligence communities, foreign policies that contradict their ideals, literal extrajudicial killings by firing squad, property expropriation that doesn't respect private ownership, things people imagine as core tenants of communist and state-capitalist regimes which is the biggest irony, and yet it simply isn't used to derail every single topic about those countries. It just disingenuous, and it isn't even clear if people realize these things, simple as that.

Hi everyone, I've been working on this tile map editor for quite a while now.

I shared it here the other day, with no much success. Someone in the comments suggested to me that I would provide an example (a map and a texture) right out of the box, so people could try the tool.

Well, here is it.

click with the right button of the mouse and drag to pan

left click place a texture

paint bucket (b) - fills a whole area

eraser (e) - delete tile

eye dropper (d) - select a tile from the map

sava - saves the map as json

export - exports the map as PNG

please watch the videos if you're interested in learning more about the tool:

Ask HN:Is there Lyft-like marketing automation service(forecast LTV&change Bid)?
<Building Lyft’s Marketing Automation Platform>
https://eng.lyft.com/lyft-marketing-automation-b43b7b7537cc

After reading this article, I wonder if there is any service to easily build the marketing automation system which contains 1. LTV forecaster 2. Budget Allocator 3. Bidder for our own service.

We are running a video editing app service, which has IAP products. And we wanna gather as much user group as possible globally, keeping unit economics positive.

So, is there any marketing solution to automatically turn off or change budget&bid of Facebook, Google ads, Snapchat, Tiktok, Twitter advertisement campaigns with forcasted ROAS (estimated CLV of user group acquired by a campaign/CAC of campaign)?

For example, suppose that we've spent $300 on Facebook ad campaign A since 2 weeks ago, and revenue from the user group acquired by the campaign A is $150 (but the estimated CLV is $350). Then we wanna increase budget on the campaign A by 20% automatically.

And if we've spent $300 on Facebook ad campaign B since 2 weeks, and revenue from the user group acquired by the campaign B is $80 (but the estimated CLV is $200). Then we wanna stop the campaign B right away.

Now we have payment performance data for each marketing campaign collected from Adjust and Appsflyer. So we can provide this data as a raw data or set up the integration on Appsflyer.

Is there any SaaS you can recommend for this situation?
My interpretation is that each "monorepo" is a big git repository that consists of a collection of individually-deployed services, as opposed to having a single git repository per service.

I do not know whether that's what the blog author meant by that though.
I feel like that warning symbol isn't great. When you first look at it, you try to draw meaningful connections between the three items: radiation<->skull, skull<->person-running, radiation<->person-running, but what was intended was (radiation->skull)->leave immediately. A sign split in two, with (radiation->skull) on one half and a person running on the other might be clearer.

If anyone is wondering, I prefer blue paint on bike sheds.
If more people are working at home, in one place, the value of a laptop decreases quite a bit

I think #3 is nice if you have a lot of trust for your government. With the global rise in authoritarian values, I think many are very wary of this option, myself included. I think not only the points I brought up before need to be addressed, but there's also the fact that government services tend to not be... sub par.
Real answer: you don't.

I run the same setup, local resolver that recurses from the roots, and I don't cache anything other than what my systems actually request. If I hit a new site, I pay the penalty for not having certain information cached.

Hows the DNS server to know what to pre-cache to reduce lookup times?

Even for something that is not in the cache DNS is lightweight and quick, and I have full control over when to flush it, and have logs.

I am not huge fan of the trend of various device manufacturers (looking at you Google, and now Apple too) sending queries over DoH instead of using the local resolver on my network :/

A simpler intuition. Opening parenthesis moves to the left, whitespace acts as colon.

Not really. An 85 ton Starship fueled in LEO can use Oberth effect, get to Mars just as fast, and land directly on Mars.

Your deep space NTR has engines that weigh way at least ten times more, while providing only a fraction of the thrust, and also has to push not only hundreds of tons of radiators, shielding and heavier tanks, but also a lander since NTR doesn’t have the thrust to climb out of any significant gravity well. And also is going to have substantial propellant evaporation by the time it reaches Mars since it can only achieve that ISP with hydrogen.

I think it won't be an overstatement to say that RIAA and MPAA are the scourge of the online services industry. If you host any kind of UGC and your product gets any semblance of popularity, it's only a matter of time before they try to come after you. It then comes as no surprise that many people in the industry hate these organizations with burning passion.
I did some more research and I see that there is a Passiflora species (P. incarnata) that grows in Texas, but that isn't what is generally referred to as passion fruit. P. edulis would be what the above commenter is referring to.
Agree. Keeping a work desktop is better option, combined with a low-end MacBook Air, or anything you prefer. There are times when you still have to head to meeting rooms, work outdoors, or in front of TV. Laptop is handy at that time.

haha.... here you are posting on a California based website/forum, and pretty much use California based products without even knowing (facebook, reddit, google, youtube, iPhone, Android, Macs), they are all California culture, in digital form.

CA, like it or not, has an outsized influence to the whole world, to the point that it kinda becomes 'undistinguishable' as it is everywhere. I am talking about tech/SF/SV and Hollywood. They have risen to the 'metaculture' level which few places/countries have.

So what does Lisp make harder to implement than today's programming languages?

It seems like large-scale composition relies on a well-structured way to define and enforce APIs, and oh wow, typing facilities.

Performance has historically been an issue for Lisp because its model is tightly tied to interpretation, but perhaps modern JIT-style compilation can address this.

Others?

What type of issues do large Lisp projects typically run into?

In an interview of a lawyer, they said that this article has not been implemented in the Finnish legislation (or at least not properly for a health care case like this - I didn't fully catch it).
sounds about right.

take the bay area salary, work remote in texas/arizona/nevada because its cheaper and rationalize it by saying its the politics thats making me move.

i've had this conversation 5 times this week with friends and colleagues, and none of them have actually spent more than a week in texas/arizona/nevada.

Two more examples that jumped to mind immediately:

University of California vs Elsevier (academic journal publisher), over wanting free open access for the public to their published research.

Epic Games vs Apple, over wanting developers & users to have more options and freedoms on a closed platform.

I think it’s really special when an organization is able to say “yes this impacts us specifically in a small way, but it impacts the greater community in a much larger way — we have the resources and will take a stand.”

Whether you agree with the organizations or not, I just think the act of doing something like that is special.

But then the correlations with the other 48 states are broken. In that insane scenario, Mississippi now votes for Biden (because I guess he’s suddenly come out as pro-life as well), but Alaska still goes for Trump.

The negative correlations don’t make sense. Maybe it’s a small problem and the model is solid overall, but... I don’t think you can justify that one effect.

Twitter was entirely consistent between this and Trump's tax returns. What you're proposing is a double standard.

The rule is they blocked links to hacked content. They did not block reporting on either issue. Any discussion of Hunter Biden or the hacked content is allowed on Twitter. You just can't link to the actual hacked content.

The NYT has not released Trump's tax returns. They only released an article discussing some of what they found. The New York Post included actual stolen content in their article.

Blocking all tweets mentioning $750 would be like blocking all tweets mentioning Hunter Biden.
A large portion of problems of using Eclipse CDT is that the Language Setting Provider is NOT properly set. See the MDN article mentioned in another comment for more on this. CDT parser is NOT bound to any build system. You can make it work with almost any build system, provided the build system had legitimate command line output. And CDT's performance is better than most of the LLVM/LSP-based tools. LSP based solution has not matured enough to be a real competitor.

I remembered that around 2011 I've tried Qt Creator, and it was a bad experience since I did know how to cope with several build systems. I've no idea how QtCreator's multiple build system support is now. For the same reason, CLion is not good enough to compete with CDT.

LLVM/LSP/Vscode/CLion, these are all exciting and have a lot of fans. Unfortunately, none of them is good enough in this subfield.

On one hand yes, but on the other, does that also apply to other services? Can I open a shop only for <insert skin color> people only and claim that if you don't like it, go somewhere else? How about other categories, protected or otherwise?

> A social media platform banning certain content is different. Just as we have alt right media sources such as Breitbart, nothing is preventing you from starting your own social media platform, with whatever content you want or don’t want.

Not really - you can start your own media outlet and selectively run the stories you want, that's fine. But if you just regurgitate user-generated content, IMO you better be really careful about applying your own rules consistently and in a transparent manner.
