When I buy a film on disk, I have a reasonable expectation that I own the film and can play it as long as I wish. Why should it be different just because I bought it in a different format?

I hope consumer right groups and maybe the EU can crack down on this clear abuse of "wording".
You realise conference organisers can do the very same thing without a code of conduct, right? That a code of conduct can be used as an "oppression tool" doesn't mean that its absence doesn't lead to even more "oppression". If you want to compare the relative merit of two things, like having a code or not, you need to consider both sides rather than just point out the perceived downsides of one.

We don't need any scientist to explain why we don't want to learn as we age. The simple reason is we have too much responsibilities as an adult. As an adult, we have to:
- Take care for the kids
- Take care for our partners.
- Take care for our job
- Cooking and cleaning the house every day.

In order to learn something we have to focus, imagine getting disturb every 15 minutes because of our responsibilities above. We will give up learning soon.

I have a feeling that the lincoln project's goal is not just to get Trump out, but actually to instigate a coup within the dem party, give up some on abortion/2a to keep the neoliberal / centrist status quo. Mark my words in ten years, the dems will move more right, I wouldn't be surprised to see Kasich and Romney as democrats.

The left will be regrouping, and the far right, well they'll be hiding from the FBI mostly (at least the terrorist factions).

I mean, think about it. The dems are the epitomy of Reagan republicans. If you wanted to reboot the insanity that is Trumpism, all you'd need to do is get a significant number of fiscal republicans to become democrats, and run as democrats, and maybe embrace a 'few' social programs to 'appear' democrat enough.
In my experience it’s got more to do with expectations.

I'm really liking turbolinks+stimulus. While I'd probably still reach for Vue for more intricate work there is a lot of mileage you can get out of turbolinks with a small set of stimulus controllers. It's not just for Rails either: the Changelog people use Turbolinks with Elixir/Phoenix [1] for their site, including an audio player (although not with Stimulus), and I used it for a recent side project with Django [2].

I (very seriously) suggest consulting a mental health professional. Please take this with the kind intention it was meant. I had a good friend a while back that also was quite intelligent and got off on conspiracy theories, had severe trust issues, and used his intellect to drive himself up a wall.
Simply put, "cancelling" (which is already a dumb concept) someone and refusing to allow them to speak at a conference simply because they said someone else's opinion was wrong is absurd. Add on top taking a week to let them know why.
I'm working on a Zettelkasten app myself at the moment. Backlinks and tags are working.

Rather than using solely a time based ID like "202006110955", I'm adding the date to the file name. Links then show the file name instead of the id (e.g 2020-10-29 lessons learned.html → [[lessons learned]]).

Also working on ways to surface information from the Zettelkasten like a spreadsheet view and generated one-page summaries.

> However the culture around complex frameworks and over-engineering is what most people really dislike about it.

I think this is it. I remember back in the day being absolutely floored when I started learning J2EE by the, it seemed, unnecessary complexity (for most use cases) of EJB. It was incredibly offputting: if you were starting a project from scratch it felt like you had to do a ridiculous amount of work just to get to "hello world". I'm sure it wasn't that bad but the memory has slightly scarred me.

I haven't worked in Java for ages, mostly working with .NET for the last 16 years and, unfortunately, the same problem has to some extent bled into the .NET ecosystem too.

A few years ago I contracted at a place where the "micro"-service team I was assigned to had this codebase where they'd clearly taken the OSI 7 layer reference model to heart and applied it to a domain where customer details were collected and recorded. I've nothing against layered architectures, and have made use of them many times in appropriate circumstances, but this was awful: one of the most needlessly complex codebases I've ever worked with, and incredibly discouraging to work on because it was so hard to actually achieve anything. There were fully three or four layers in the middle that did nothing but call the next layer down. The quantity of boilerplate was extraordinary. To add one method that did anything of substance you'd actually have to add between five and seven methods, most of which did nothing but call the next layer. Ridiculous.

Still, that doesn't change the fact that the .NET languages, runtime, and base framework are excellent, and that sadly being excellent is no antidote to misuse. Same applies to Java.

From Oxford dictionary. Terrorism absolute includes the political struggle. The point is that terrorism uses violence and intimidation to further its goals and that it has no legal base for it.

I think part of the argument is that if you want to have confidence in the correctness of a system, the system has to be so small and simple that anyone can fully understand it and keep it all in their head. For example, how do you know that the toolchains for Rust, Spark, sel4 work correctly? Have all aspects been verified or proven? Can a single person fully understand them? I’m not saying that’s the necessarily best criterion. The point is that all the guarantees that Rust, spark, Haskell, etc give are only meaningful if you can trust the tools to correctly implement them. Simplicity of the tools is one approach.
It depends whether you implicitly put "the" or "a" in between "down" and "computer".
Thanks, I found this template yesterday and almost getting a wow because I see it on HN today.
In July of 1974 I was in my first month of internship at LA County-USC Medical Center. I was on the Jail Ward rotation: anyone in the LA County Jail who needed to see a doctor was brought to this ward in handcuffs by sheriff's deputies in a van, uncuffed upon leaving the elevator, and from then on treated like any other hospital patient, though there were deputies scattered throughout the ward, which held perhaps 50 prisoner-patients. Deputies were required to deposit their weapons in a safe before entering the ward.

In my third week or so on the ward — three weeks after graduating from medical school — we got a man who'd been in a fight whose arm had been sliced open by a broken bottle down to the bone, the injury being about a foot long. The thing was, he was so drunk, he wasn't in any pain yet was perfectly conscious.

Me and a fellow intern spent 3-4 hours in the early morning suturing him up after copiously irrigating the wound with many liters of sterile saline. We'd NEVER done anything remotely like this in med school, so we simply did what we'd learned from watching and reading. We must have put in hundred of sutures, starting with deep muscle and then moving outward layer by layer. We worked from opposite sides of the surgical field. During the entire procedure the guy never complained of pain, but rather talked with us perfectly rationally.

When we were done, we were certain he'd become septic and require weeks of IV antibiotics, but darned if that wasn't the case: he was discharged back to the County Jail after a couple days, with no apparent infection.

OK, just for fun, lets do a brand-new dollar for dollar comparison of what you get for the latest new GPUs in the same price bracket. ~250 GBP on Amazon.co.uk will get you a 6GB GTX 1660Ti or Radeon RX 5600XT. This gives you a GPU that has 6X the memory, and roughly 25X the performance of the card you would get 13 years ago: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-8800-GT-v... (see also: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-5600-xt.c347...). The 5600XT plays almost every single game at over 60fps @ 1080p (often over 100fps): https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-5600-XT-Desktop-...

By every relative and absolute metric, you are getting way more for your money than you did a decade ago, even vs other technology products (eg CPUs have made significantly less performance gains over the same period [0]) or experience (you can play the latest titles at much better fidelity and frame rates than the 8800 GT could for games of that era).

Have high end card prices gone up? Sure, due to both to increased demand volatility (multiple waves of crypto booms and busts) as well several generations where Nvidia has simply not had viable competition in the highest performance categories, but even with that in mind, performance/$ has still kept climbing in just about every single category. Note: new generation low-mid range cards still haven't come out yet. Expect another bump in price/performance Q1/Q2 next year (GA106 & GA107 for Nvidia, Navi 22 and 23 for AMD, also potentially Intel's Xe DG2).

Can you provide a concrete example of this “political correctness” you are opposed to?
It's like buying a property with a charge and restrictions on it. Some of these restrictions should be made illegal. There is no business case for them apart from extracting money from customers for no value for them. Any restriction should only be legal if it helps the product to work as intended or is required by any health and safety regulations. A restriction that forces customer to buy an "upgraded" product should never be allowed.
I remember having a conversation with someone who worked in Health Cyber Security a few years ago.

They pointed out their MRI machine depended on an Windows Server 2K3 machine, which they didn't patch, networked on the corporate network (to access/transmit results). I asked why they couldn't patch or upgrade it, to which they responded:

> "Every time we change patch or change the software configuration we need to have it re-certified before we can use it on a patient, and that takes months and $10,000's"

I really hope we'll see some movement in the health security space, maybe leveraging SDN/Micro-segmentation or Identity-Aware-Proxy software like Hashicorp Boundary, but these aren't (really) zero-cost and add friction/delays to accessing the information you need about your patient... Time will tell.
China Phase 2..
Within the past 24 hours at least 5 ransomware attacks[0][1] happened on US hospitals.

Apart from timing, the attacks don't seem to originate from the same source (which is leading speculation about potential coordination and premature attribution - at least in my social media bubble).

"It would be the season to launch politically motivated attacks (so close to election)" is a weak argument because:

It's a war crime to attack hospitals and the risks of escalation for nation state actors are not aligned with their incentives.

Assuming it's only financially motivated (crime groups) but with coordination (because timing): Very unlikely because criminal gangs lend themselves poorly to orchestration / coordination.

A combination of political+criminal (local political actor financing crime groups)? Occam's razor cuts deep here.

Assume the human brain primed to recognize patterns is a weakness and apply Hanlon's razor. Then the "Timing" is just coincidence and cause is horrible healthcare IT.

The combination of the pandemic, a politically charged climate (elections), technical-debt in healthcare, premature cyber-attribution, could create a perfect storm.

The real lede buried among social media cyber fear-mongering: Discussion wouldn't take place if systems had been patched.

Can you explain the lockdown rules and what area you're in? In the UK I'm now in the highest risk area and still allowed to walk and cycle from home and travel around my county by car. That could easily be a 20 mile walk or 50 mile bike ride from home if I had time on my hands. I could take a mask and buy takeaway food from a shop or cafe. Just trying to compare the rules in different areas.

Harshest lockdown in the UK was probably in Scotland where you were restricted to not be more than 5 miles home which could still easily allow a 10 mile walk.
My impression is that it's a mix of bad faith and misunderstanding by those pushing it (a lot are bad faith and know they just want a tool to give themselves power, but others believe that it's a good idea and are ignorant of the former, very forgiving when they see examples of their usage, "this is an individual mistake, it's not systemic in coc" etc), and a general attitude of "what's the harm in saying we expect everyone to be kind" on the side of maintainers agreeing to adopt them.
The later is hardly clear writing. I think you've mistaken terseness and informality for clarity.

You misconstrue "wise spending" with "allocating funds to areas that need the most assistance". The two are not informationally equivalent.

You leave out the information that you know nothing about local conditions. Presumably you've jumped to conclusions about what local conditions means.

And lastly, it must be pointed out that a perfectly valid interpretation of your version is that you were unable to form an opinion on the committees spending because you got lost in the carpark/ building/town...

I think one could arguably simplify the original further to:

"Knowing nothing about local conditions, we could not determine how effectively the committee allocated funds to areas needing the most assistance."

But it's very hard to move past that without fundamental information changing, and even my changes I accept are a little bit stylistically subjective, albeit with a marginally lower word count to convey fundamentally the same information.

This desperately needs to be regulated. Companies should not be allowed to do this. How is it different from extortion?
The big difference is that the CD for a video-game is just a transport medium to allow you to copy its contents on your computer.

Sure you own the CD and can actually lend it but the person you lent it to has no right to effectively use that CD since only you were granted the right (license) to copy it on a limited number (which can be 1) of your own computers.

Same if you buy a copy of MS Word. You do own the CD but you only get the license to install it on a couple of computers.

Any term that purports to prevent you from lending your property has no value. The key point is that the license prevents others from installing the software/video game.
Don't forget about OS updates that disable phone features. For example Samsung ran an update that disabled phone call recording. If you wanted a phone so you can record your calls to elderly parents to have memories of them, you could no longer do that after updating the phone and there was no warning that such update does that.

I’ve had a Wink hub since the firmware was pre v1.0 (about 7 years) and not only is it still physically working, Wink has maintained support for it. I’ve got another, newer hub, and have dabbled with some of their other hardware over the years.

The subscription announcement did seem very rushed, and oddly toned- kind of felt like “this is our last option and we’re probably going under without it”.

Here’s the thing, I believe they should’ve been charging it all along. Backend infrastructure isn’t free and hardware doesn’t usually have amazing margins (though maybe consumer IoT is better than some areas).

There’s a difference between Google and Wink though, Wink actually offers product support AND they’ve continued to upgrade their offering through the years instead of killing it off every 9-18 months.

Maybe Wink has changed (it’s been a long time since I interacted with anyone) but there was a time early on where I was on the phone with product support (who arranged for and called ME vs a 1-800 hold) with a pot (as in cooking) over my Wink Hub in the front yard with an extension cord trying to complete a firmware upgrade that had a very particular bug.

Later on, I was given an API key to create my own integration, just by asking for one.

I had gone years with them and all the money they ever had gotten from me was the $49-$99 (can’t recall) for the first Hub I purchased and all they did was continue offering a reliable service quietly.

I don’t ever recall them touting “forever free”, but I’m sure they mentioned no subscription somewhere in their advertising over the years.

I'm just as disgusted by the Iraq war as anyone, 100%. However, I do see the Iraq WMD intelligence failure/lie (depending on what one believes) cited every single time the US government says anything ever, and while in one sense they certainly deserve that skepticism for decades to come, it also happens in cases that aren't really paralleled.

During the Cuban missile crisis, US intelligence showed photographs to the world proving the existence of the missile launch pads. During the Mueller investigation, the FBI provided hundreds of pages of concrete evidence to support their claims, which was supported by all other agencies and all of private industry.

Prior to the Iraq war, US intelligence showed jack shit; they just told the public "take our word for it: Saddam has WMDs".

If there were a future situation where there was an attempt to justify a country invasion or war, I absolutely would demand the highest possible rigor.

However, I don't think that can really be compared to trying to extradite and prosecute some criminals accused of ransoming hospitals and other institutions. They're not accusing any government of being behind these ransomware attacks and I doubt they will be. The only government believed to have ever done something like that is North Korea's, but they're kind of a special circumstance and are already technically and pragmatically at war with much of the world in many ways.

I think it's not really fair to assume a priori that the US government is lying, or that they're telling the truth, when they make some accusation. Things have to be carefully evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the concrete evidence they provide needs to be looked at impartially. If there's no public evidence besides "trust us", then I'd agree that doubt is the correct action.
Yes, my fault. I blame it on my lack of sleep and already shite morning.
