Tucker Carlson claims that his evidence "got lost in the mail"

No he didn't - where did that come from? He claimed the mail had been intercepted, someone had ripped open the parcel in transit and stolen the documents, and that the courier firm had even shown them pictures of the ripped-open package. He then made a series of remarkably precise claims about their interaction with the courier, the search the courier firm mounted to try and find the stolen documents and so on.

According to sibling comments this story was now confirmed in its entirety by UPS.

Ironically, I learned what Tucker Carlson said by reading the Guardian. Their top story yesterday (in terms of views) was something like "Tucker Carlson mocked after claiming evidence was lost in the mail". Obviously the Guardian, and those people who mocked him or lied about his claims now look very foolish and naive indeed, because his claims have been verified in their entirety by the courier firm themselves. The real story here is that UPS has been corrupted by the same kinds of win-at-any-cost leftists who blocked the story at Twitter and other places: they are so desperate for this to go away that they're actually destroying their own customer's valuables in transit. In the USA every line of communication is being shut down by these radicals, even postal mail.
Your response was dismissive of the possibility that families could throw a family member into a nursing home to raid their savings, etc. I'm telling you that this happens and providing a real-world example from my own life, just like you did.

The vast majority of people do NOT have loving, decent families. You are lucky to have that world view but you should consider the possibility that it is quite flawed.
1) Github doesn't bake everything into one thing. They can delete single issues, wiki pages or PRs.

2) Now you'll be playing a game of whack-a-mole with content. The DMCA will likely indicate all infringing content is to be taken down with some examples, so you can start taking down content there but unless you exactly know what content in the repo is infringing, you're likely going to be at the other end of a lawsuit in short order if you don't delete the whole repo.
But on GitHub, the PRs and issues cannot exist independently of the git repository. They'd have to make substantial software changes to support this approach.

Sure, they could do that, but - have they? No. SourceHut has.

mypy is only a static checker, there are no runtime-checks inserted. You run it as a command-line tool and it will fail the build if the types do not resolve, like a compiler or linting tool.

For runtime-checking based on PEP484 type hints, one can complement this with a library like Pydantic/Enforce.py/typeguard/typesentry.
Enforcement of the types is typically opt-in per function call, often by adding a decorator.

The ills of socialism aren't with the ideals per-se but the despots invariably enables.
Also, rearrange the calculation. (Celsius * 9) / 5 can trivially be rearranged to Celsius * (9 / 5)

You can implement this as a fixed point multiply by the constant 1.8.

You are already using base 10 fixed point, so it simply becomes a multiply by 18, which can be simplified to a few shifts and adds:

(Celsius << 4) + Celsius + Celsius

Don't forget to add 32 and the algorithm requires a 16bit shift and three 16 bit adds.
Can you give some concrete examples of where rust is beneficial? Is it just the static typing? Why not use something like Java, C# or even Haskell if so?
Looks great, will try this on a few work projects
Ford did something similar in Brazil many decades ago. Google too with its massive book scanning many years ago. I think it is more of incompetence and gutsy "let's try" like a bridge to nowhere hoping dumb luck to happen. Yahoo's investment in Alibaba is a good example. No one would say Yahoo has incredible Buffet-level-competent team knowing Alibaba is great investment prior.

That's one of these ideas I wish I had come up with. It sounds fun to program, fun to use and even potentially useful to make cutesy gifs.

I wasn't familiar with PICO8, it seems to effectively be a faux-retro console emulator that you can use as a sandbox to build programs (that can then be exported to a web player, which is quite nifty): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico-8

Unfortunately it's a proprietary platform.
None of which seem in the same league as "turning down a little used print protocol."

In general, all environmental problems that people create stem from using technology - i.e. without technology (starting with the most basic ones, e.g. mastering fire), we are harmless enough to not be able to do any damage. So far, the more technologies we've developed, the more damage we've done to the environment. I can't see this trend reversing.
Not sure what you mean? STM wasn't originally developed for Clojure. STM as we know it today pre-dates Clojure by over a decade.
Do you think Godel, Von Neumann, and Turing were wrong about computational irreducibility? Without a human "oracle" AI is nothing.

But then you are in base 100 fixed point. Converting it back to base 10 is what requires a division (but it's still by a constant though).

ESRI is more complete than the open source implementations generally, but is not usable for large-scale geospatial analytics. I have not used Shapely but it appears to be based on the same geometry routines as PostGIS. If you look at the underlying implementations of most open source for geospatial algorithms, of which there are only a few, it is usually missing code paths for complex numerical analysis edge cases regardless of what the documentation says. (Sometimes there are even code comments to that effect.) At sufficient scale, you will find all the edge cases in real-world applications quickly even though you may not notice if you have nothing to compare it to. When we developed the first “analytics grade” ellipsoid geospatial geometry engine several years ago (an enormous technical undertaking involving a team of mathematicians), it created distress at some companies because the visible discrepancies relative to other geospatial analysis systems they were using were much larger than they imagined.

A challenge of open source software is that it largely only gets created when the technical complexity and expertise barrier is low enough. Above that threshold, the small number of people capable of contributing combined with the large number of man-hours required for a correct implementation is beyond the resources typically available to such a project. Geospatial is a good example of this pattern (database engines are another).

I think this mirrors how concurrency really is in many applications:

* a lot of services simply defer their state management to some other service - a database or document store. Typically have to use their concurrency/transaction management

* In apps that have state, a lot of times the only safety is required - this state only changes in one place, I can't afford a partial read, but otherwise I don't really care about concurrency. Atoms for this.

* Sometimes there is an ordering or coordination to state, but a lot of time that is producer-consumer, so core.async can be a nice fit.

* In a (relatively) small subset of cases, I actually have multiple writers whose behavior I need to coordinate. STM is perfect, and I prefer it to managing my own locks in those cases.

I am not interested in what Mr Greenwald wrote, but I want the decision about reading it to be made between myself and Mr Greenwald.

Once the Intercept went beyond not publishing his content themselves to demanding he not publish it anywhere they were engaged in attempting to prevent myself and Mr Greenwald from making that choice.

Down with the Intercept.
If we define knowledge that way, leftyted's original claim (knowledge is language) becomes true by definition.

This can lead to some confusion. In Frank Jackson's Knowledge Argument[1], dualists say that qualia are knowledge, knowledge is language, and so if Mary could not learn qualia by studying science, then materialism is false. This argument trades on being inconsistent over what it means to have knowledge of something.

Using IPP isn't that bad. There are no drivers involved. And printing can work via a cloud ( but some software involved to manage your printers ).

TBH businesses that do serious printing do no buy low end inkjet, but mid to hi end printers that have this features ( and many more) and mostly are covered thru some service contract with a 3rd party which manages them.
On email providers - I moved away from Gmail for my personal email address a few years ago, and now use iCloud. I've had very few issues with spam, and there are no ads. My personal email has much less volume than work, so I haven't really missed the advanced features of Gmail.

From a privacy perspective, how does iCloud compare to others like Fastmail?
I don't doubt that facebook's algorithm results in disinformation through their quest for engagement, but does anyone know a good resource that talks about the specifics of what ideas are most spread in this way with some numbers?

My issue is that I read about this often (and care about these issues), but I have not used facebook since 2010 and so I have no experience with what everyone's talking about. I feel like in order to understand I need some data to work with that is more specific than 'flagged false', because facebook is just not part of my experience right now and I don't know what people are actually saying on the platform

One of the first examples there of not killing a product is "Inbox -> GMail Features" which is almost entirely misleading.
The biggest productivity benefits from Inbox, such as bundles and leaving notes directly in the inbox have not been ported. And of course the biggest benefit of Inbox was the clean interface itself. I still curse Google under my breath every day about them killing it off.
This has nothing to do with Cloud Print specifically; printers have had support for IP printing for years. And don't most major companies have their printers set up so you print from and to anywhere?
Agree! Those sites are all great (which I also visit). I was looking to find somewhere that can bring together a lot of high level while pragmatic theory. Until then I guess I'll patch it together. I like Stratechery for its varied and in-depth view points though I don't know if I get practitioner value out of it or if it is a form of consumption where I enjoy the quality of work put into the content.

That both Taibbi and Greenwald have confidently reported out technical stories they were self-evidently not qualified to report, made huge mistakes, and doubled down on them, because truthiness and advocacy is more important to them than accuracy. They're both in their way like that Bloomberg reporter who reported the "Chinese spy chip on motherboards" story.
Also, this optimization is performed by any half-decent compiler. Of course, if you're on embedded, you may not have a half-decent compiler, or indeed an compiler at all.
Ask HN: Please stop writing tutorials/tech articles on Medium
Let me put this as simple as I can:
Writing tutorials on Medium means you are putting them behind a paywall, thus restricting learning opportunities.

Medium is not StackOverflow, it limits the number of articles that can be freely read.

If you ever learned something from a blog or from stackoverflow do contribute back by sharing your knowledge open on the internet not behind a paywall.

To me globalists - the top 0.1%, with their business interests spread over the world, completely unaccountable to any government (in fact, increasingly influencing/corrupting governments around the world with their money).

And attempting to sprinkle anti-semitism into it is just a (typical) attempt to make the word "globalist" socially unacceptable. Nothing to do with Jews, but hey, nice try.

Greenwald was not claiming he is breaking the story. He was trying to shed light into the media blacklisting of the story. It is indeed Ironic that his story got blacklisted as well!

I think some editors are perhaps trying to avoid a repeat of the 'Hillary email/Comey announcement of 2016' scenario but didn't anticipate the Streisand effect.

In hindsight, best approach may have been to cover the story, get a sound bite from Biden denying that he benefitted, say there is no evidence he benefitted and leave it at that.

Great idea --- but severely lacking in one crucial area --- manufacturing. And everyone can see this at a glance.

The only way this will have any significant impact over the long run is by teaming up with a competent, modern hardware manufacturer. It takes more than software to make a great phone.

My ratio of writing to debugging has never been such that the difference between for and forEach ever mattered.
That being said, debugging complex go code bases 5 years ago (when I last was doing this daily) was less fun than other languages (their armory stocks a nice assortment of footguns and the debugging support was... minimal. Might have changed since then.)
Who would have thought some wobble would add so much to the experience. This is wonderful and I don't think it would be half as good if it didn't wobble.
The NY Times exposed far more than Greenwald did. James Risen went to court to protect his sources in multiple occasions. And Risen works with a team and has the full support of his editors and employer. Greenwald is a journalistic berserker. He swings wildly and occasionally hits a target others can't get to. Really though it is my opinion based on observation.

why do you think everybody working at a software company cares about building products? I'm in this field to make a living. The only thing that would turn me off from a company that compensates like Google is a bad work life balance.

When I was young, I received a serious blow to my head while playing soccer that broke my skull and caused all sorts of issues at the time. I've managed a full recovery, but in the days following the accident, I lost my intuition of time. It's difficult to explain: I knew, logically, that I had lunch before I had dinner - and I had memory of doing both - but I couldn't "feel" that lunch was before dinner. It's pretty hard to explain and it was pretty weird to experience, but this symptom faded away after a couple of days.
"Show the user interface" implies that you need a way to render to the screen. Rendering to the screen implies a graphics driver.

VGA text mode should always be available.

You need to be able to set resolutions, control multiple plugged in monitors (otherwise your BIOS output is sent to your HDMI connected projector only rather than your primary monitor).

Sane defaults help a lot here --- like all outputs enabled (and showing the same thing), and of course 80x25 text mode.

and support for FAT32, exFAT, likely NTFS since a lot of people use it, etc.

Load first sector of boot device to 7c00h and jump to it. The code there can use int 13h to load the rest. BIOS doesn't need to have any knowledge of the filesystem to do that, nor should it.

Also most users want their BIOS to present devices in a abstract way, i.e. so that your kernel is able to render to a framebuffer on an ARM server board with the same code it uses to render to a framebuffer on more standarized x86.

Approximately zero users care about ARM having the same BIOS as x86.

and hardware has become complicated.

Not all of that complication is necessary, however. USB and ATAPI boot, as well as PXE (network boot) was been around long before UEFI reared its ugly head. I bet the amount of space taken up by the (IMHO totally unnecessary and definitely not wanted if you're in the CMOS SETUP to fix something with the GPU not working right) graphics in UEFI setup is far more than an entire pre-UEFI BIOS with all the other features.

It's undisputed that Hunter was getting 600k from a ukrainian national gas company and that Joe Biden demanded a prosecutor be fired. That's the real story, and it stinks.

The computer repair shop thing is laughable, but that doesn't mean the obvious conclusion is dastardly russians did it.. Hunter doesn't look like a model in operational security, any number of motivated people could have hacked him. Or maybe it was entirely made up to get the underlying scandal back in the news.
Partly true. On the other hand I think it is a common mistake to attribute economic success to politics. Sure, they lay the framework, but that doesn't mean they are responsible for success or failure. Of course politicians like to claim it anyway.

It's $15 to be able to write programs for the platform, but you can export them to html5 to make available for others to play online for free. There's a pretty large library of such games hosted on pico-8's website.

There are some open-source alternatives like TIC-80 and PixelVision8. Personally, I'd only recommend them over pico-8 if $15 is a serious barrier or open source is an absolute must. They all have their various strengths and weaknesses, but pico-8 seems to be the best optimized for pure, unadulterated fun.
