“Trump himself acts out of pure, unadulterated narcissism.”

Is this a professional diagnosis? Do you know him personally?

Or is this a projection? It sounds an awful lot like projection. Your post does this a lot about a lot of people...

It may be correct. It may not. But it doesn’t help your case to play Freud on, what is in your case, pixels on a screen.

You can’t seriously call someone a “petulant child” unless you’ve actually interacted with the person. This is a 74 year old whose best-known expertise is in constructing artificial personas to better negotiate deals. Think about that. He’s not your father.

The commonly accepted term is “loose cannon”. It skips the psychoanalytic overhead very few people are in the position to do. You say “loose cannon” and, for a large group of people the situation, and how to mitigate it, comes into better focus.

I’m sure your family and friends are delighted that you continue to think they are good people. And it is noble of you to have developed the ability to frame things in such a way as to not reflexively demonize those who disagree on this matter. But edit before you post.

> The entire state of Iowa is now out of staffed beds, Eli Perencevich, an infectious-disease doctor at the University of Iowa, told me. Worse is coming. Iowa is accumulating more than 3,600 confirmed cases every day; relative to its population, that’s more than twice the rate Arizona experienced during its summer peak, “when their system was near collapse,” Perencevich said. With only lax policies in place, those cases will continue to rise. Hospitalizations lag behind cases by about two weeks; by Thanksgiving, today’s soaring cases will be overwhelming hospitals that already cannot cope. “The wave hasn’t even crashed down on us yet,” Perencevich said. “It keeps rising and rising, and we’re all running on fear. The health-care system in Iowa is going to collapse, no question.”

Most of the US is likely to have their medical systems collapse this winter. That will lead to thousands of preventable deaths.

Stigmatizing people with HIV was bad because it was a proxy for stigmatizing gay men. Stigmatizing people who don't wear masks is stigmatizing anti-social behavior.
What the fuck crime is “sounding like a two bit mobster”. Is that walking around saying “yous guys”?
Preventing something from being copyable is only possible by not distributing it. If you can see it you can copy it.

The copyright holder could prevent you from copying it by never distributing it, but that doesn't mean you don't have a right to fair use, it only means you don't have the ability to exercise that right. Much the same as you can't exercise freedom of the press if you can't afford a printing press (or any modern equivalent).

It might be physically impossible for you to have an abortion, e.g. because you're infertile, but that doesn't mean you don't have a right to one under existing precedent.
We're prepared to do this if necessary, but most of these users aren't actually using the app. So the only apparent damage is them getting upset that the app keeps reappearing on their phone.
I see where you are coming from. It's just what motivates you in a game.

The infinite scaling doesn't matter. It's about building out the factory itself, if that doesn't motivate you, it's just not for you.

Regarding PID controllers, I've done that for real-life applications (hobby) so no desire to do that in a game.

how so? In a market economy the shareholders are footing the bill, in a command economy it's evenly distributed across everyone.
A cold blooded amoral répudiation of materialism is almost certainly impossible. There is literally no reason to think that the human mind is anything more than the human body, a material construct.
It's funny in the Chinese article the authorities rejected the name "赵C" because they said their system can't handle latin characters (but can handle complex encoding of Chinese characters)
Interesting.. I don't think this would explain the users who claim the app keeps coming back after they've removed it? Is installing Android from another user's image a popular thing?
I would even go so far as to say that more characters/typing is objectively better than fewer any time fewer can introduce ambiguity, or confuse downstream (even future self) readers. Longer names are good except where shorter names well known and widely agreed upon idioms (example: I always type `acc` in a `reduce` callback, because that’s the convention; but I always type `index` instead of `i`, because single-letter names are frequently ambiguous). Explicit types at interface/module boundaries are better than implicit/inferred types because they prevent regressions, surprises, breaking changes and sweeping contract changes that wouldn’t otherwise be necessary. Stricter rules are easier to comply with than more flexible rules; typing a semicolon at the end of every statement accepting one is significantly less cognitive load than remembering which ones are special and no more burdensome than correcting surprising mistakes. And those benefits are significantly more valuable than fewer punctuation marks and keystrokes.
Obviously not, and they _shouldn't_ owe any loyalty to the administration. But it's quite peculiar to assume that they _do_ owe loyalty to the other side.
What an... odd situation. I'm sorry that happened.

I'm not sure I've ever quite seen that dynamic, so I'm actually really curious for details. What kinds of things did you find yourself apologizing for? And then, what were people picking on you for? And what was the relation exactly?

If you're a moderator of a group who has to make hard decisions, depending on the group, it can be a thankless job since you'll always piss off half the people no matter what.

I suppose the original post doesn't talk about what does require apology vs. what doesn't. E.g. making a necessary and correct decision that still pisses people off is usually better done with empathy for those who it bothers, but not apology.
Yes, at some point, building a megabase is just stamping a blueprint of a green circuits factory until green circuits are no longer a bottleneck, and things like that.

There is no vertical upgrade path beyond the rocket. And that is too bad.
> We can spin space stations, there's no need for microgravity research.

My understanding is that the problem with 'spin gravity' is that unless you are talking about enormous truly enormous space stations, then the human vestibular system becomes a major issue.

Plus, then there's the issue with ensuring that the station remains balanced, and the additional material strength requirements.

I don't think "spinning space stations" is quite as simple a solution.
I am pretty sure you could get a similar graft if you took a big bucket of yeast and dumped a bunch of sugar in. Right at the beginning you'd have massive expansion and productivity. Everyone is happy and getting along. Then as the sugar slowly disappears and everyone is fighting for resources, it seems like somehow no one is cooperating.
That's kind of the plot from 1945 to today as America has completely calcified itself, run down the unions and shut down its factories.
Gotta admit, I snorted meanly at the suggestion that 1080px isn't wide enough to fit an 80 column text display... Then felt old.
Does M1 perform these graphics calculations on the general purpose CPU, or is there a specialized graphics subsystem that does e.g. SIMT?
If it was, then how was this because of Central planning? Man-made, engineered famines have happened under capitalism too, it's not hard to twist and jerk the market into a famine given material circumstances like those that made it possible for the Holodomor.
"Therefore, for me to test on Safari, I either have to... pay out of my pocket for some sort of cross-browser testing tool (even if it's free, I am spending extra time)"

That's precisely the 'lazy web developer' that they're talking about. Oh god no, you have to test on a browser you don't use.

Sure Chrome is dominant, but Safari has about 15% of the market so by taking the stance you do, you're dismissing 1 of 6 people. Because you're lazy.

And perhaps he killed himself when he realized he wasn't going to get away with just a slap on the wrist.

He seems like the kind of guy for whom having his reputation and legacy destroyed while he watched would be a fate worse than death.

Ursala Franklin identified two main forms of technology,

* Holistic technology, which leaves humans in control but provides enhancements & tools to let the person do more than they could have. Back then she mainly identified this with craftspeople, but now I think a lot of creatives are in this realm too, folks using Photoshop/Gimp/Glimpse.

* Prescriptive Technology, which has an operating paradigm that bends the world about it to fit itself; the assembly line. Technology as asserting it's own will in the world.

Mid-century thinking that increasingly reflects how technology relates to the world. I urge us all to reflect on what kinds of technology we want to be involved with. I think Bruce here is focusing on one particular side that has, alas, come to dominate, but it's important to remember that there's other forms for tech to take.

In the UK you say sorry all the time. You usually don't mean it.
There was even one alleged suicide attempt several weeks before Epstein got his ticket punched! So any idea that this caught the jail by surprise is totally dishonest. Any idiot could (and many did!) see Epstein's death coming as long as they weren't wedded to pseudo-clever notions like "there's no such thing as conspiracies" or "they'd never do something so obvious and in-the-open."
It’s not just a single point of purchase, big co need to ensure your subcontractors subcontractors subcontractors enforce our policies and control around protection of data, we need to be able to Inspect that whenever our auditors feel like it. The complex issue with SaaS for big co is getting them to demonstrate a good business continuity plan and actually execute tests (your primary building was destroyed ... you own another building with connectivity , hardware just sitting around on ice ready to go right ? )
You have key man dependencies please asses that every 6 months and hire 35 people to cover that 1 KMD and show us your working on how you assess this.
If your SaaS is so killer / think it’s a big competitive advantage big co will help you set all this up and guide you to an extent. But in this case this is your first big co and they will make sure your time is totally consumed by our mountain of lawyers , procurement officers, security , it , operations.... but at the same time finance want to check your books to make sure we are not your single customer and that you have a history of making money , check the key peoples backgrounds for any history of fiscal malaise , conflicts of interest blah blah blah.

The worst is when. We deal with the vendor negotiate a price the procurement people who have no idea about what it is their purchasing have a kpi on saving big co x % off every piece of paper that passes their desk so they go in at the last mile after pretty much everything is set and pull your pants down (don’t forget to leave fat for this )

And good luck.
The developers have explained their reasons for the current constraints regarding CPU multi-treading and AFAIK it's not as easy as this.

If you want to know more, they were very open about the development process so they will have a blogpost about this.
I thought Jack Ma was smarter than this. He stepped down as Chairman of Alibaba precisely to avoid running afoul of the party. Yet he then disparages the party ahead of Ant’s IPO? Wondering how long until Ma is charged with fraudulent behavior and subsequent arrest.
If you're a professional and don't test Safari, you're not being professional. Don't have a Mac? Use https://www.browserstack.com or similar. Don't want to bother? Then, yeah, you're lazy.

I don't have a Windows machine. I still test against Edge. No Android phone. Still test against a range of them. How? See above.
> You are correct - regulations often limit an individual's ability to maximize their own gains in order to lift the overall floor.

The problem is they regularly fail to lift the overall floor. Prohibiting your existing best available source of employment will, as a rule, leave you with an alternative which is even less good. Something with more pay but a longer commute that eats that pay and then some. Something more dangerous, or less convenient, or less stable, or more stressful. And then you get paid a little more in exchange for losing something that was worth more to you than the money.

> Alternatively, we could offer public healthcare, social housing, and food guarantees, decoupling work from survival.

Or a UBI. Which is what we should do.
The charge limit is not configurable on my car. Not sure about the Bolt or Teslas, though.
Another point seems to be upgrade fees - e.g. with Volvo I have to pay for the dealers diagnostics software subscription, for the actual software update itself (yes, really), and for the time it takes because it blocks a slot in the dealers garage (and the diagnostics system).
Upgrades effectively easily cost 700 Euro per year, and they can't even tell me what's actually changed (at least it's optional).

If we only had the technology to roll out tamperproof updates, even if it was via a USB stick... /s (At least the map updates happen exactly that way).

Ergo, I'm under the impression they're really just only using this to siphon more money from the customers.
The structure editing tool is less fluid, yes. It's one of many ergonomy things, although you can get used to it with some wrangling.
Finnish doesn't sound strict at all.
This looks great, look forward to trying it out. Love the direction I'm seeing though
It can be just dried out inactivated virus.

Yes that's a big limitation of the sampling/testing done. However, and here I'm editorializing, they found viral RNA everywhere.

While the following discussion might seem obvious to epidemiologists, I'm a lay person and it wasn't obvious to me:

Several aspects during the COVID-19 pandemic support the risk of aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2. First, mounting evidence for pre- and asymptomatic transmission, where the spread of droplets through coughing and sneezing cannot be a major factor, must raise questions about aerosol transmission. Second, aerosols generated by speech could theoretically contain enough SARS-CoV-2 virus particles to support transmission, and these aerosols can remain airborne for up to ten minutes. In addition, coronaviruses can be emitted in aerosols through normal breathing. Third, field studies in hospital wards have detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA both in vent openings and in the air. These findings are not unexpected seeing as similar observations have been made for both SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

That supports the idea of aerosol transmission. I don't plan on spending a lot of time indoors, other than in my house, this winter.
Alternatively, a technically valid but evil solution is updating only the documentation. Much cheaper to implement. Any hardware engineer will understand what does it mean by that ;-)

A feature is broken? Just update the documentation and say it's broken, problem fixed! No need to fix the actual problem... An even more evil variant: still claim the feature works in the datasheet, but hide the problems in the erratas.

I think the parent makes a very astute point and this response is handwaving away a huge amount of undeniable social change that is being dismissed.
I started buying CDs around 1986 and ended up with maybe two thousand in all. In the early 2000s, I converted most of them to mp3. Since then, I have been listening to those mp3s as well as to online radio and streaming services.

A few days ago, I decided I wanted to listen to some thirty-year-old CDs that I hadn't ripped, so I got them out of the cupboard and started converting them to mp3. Most are converting without any problem, but about twenty percent are unplayable because the plastic in the CD has decayed. The decay occurred most often in CDs that had foam liners in the package; the foam seems to have caused some kind of chemical disintegration in the CD itself.

Most of the unconvertible CDs I've found so far have been classical music from major labels, and I've been able to buy and download digital versions from prestomusic.com. CDs made by indie bands years ago are less likely to be available online. If you want to keep not only the physical CD but the music as well, you might want to rip them sooner rather than later.

How could he have possibly "realized" that before the trial even started?
This sounds like you may have a corrupt preference file somewhere - perhaps deleting ~/Library/Preferences/co. On a normal install, you'll only be asked to enable on major OS releases. Since you're also on an old version of Catalina it'd be a good idea to install the security updates, too.

You could try to delete all of the preference files:

find ~/Library/Preferences/ -iname com.apple.siri\* -delete
Developer here

This started off as part of a touchscreen music synthesizer app for Windows that I had been working on for a few years. I wanted the interface to be relatively simple and focused, kind of like what you see on most mobile or tablet apps. It would have a base layer with the main functionality, and then modal popups floating above for other functions when necessary. Only one interface layer or popup would be in focus and active at any one time, and the user could click or touch the background to close it and go back to the next lowest layer.

The music app didn't really go anywhere (it works as intended, but my initial assumptions were wrong), but I was able to split its UI manager off into a stand-alone library. I've since used it on some other small personal projects and added additional features as necessary.

I'm not sure how many people still develop Windows apps, but maybe this will cut out some of the ceremony and setup work that's usually required. At least for small apps.

Happy to take any feedback or answer any questions.
I swear I am not trying to be a jerk, but what were the many markers of a political flamewar that I used? I know politic topics have been getting heated on HN lately and I am probably more guilty of participating in that than the average user. However I do try to stay on the line of what is allowed here and I legitimately don't know what you are objecting to in my comment.

I also don't know how this is a disputed fact when basically every news source from MSNBC to Fox News and practically every world leader from Angela Merkel to Xi Jinping all agree on it. I don't think there is a single credible source that disagrees with the outcome of the US presidential election.

I don't think my comment would have been considered to have markers of a political flamewar or considered anything but a fact if I wrote it 4 years ago about Trump's victory over Clinton. That is basically the entire point of my original comment. Our standards have eroded in the last 4 years.

Well, the README's footer has prominently displayed OpenCollective badges and avatars and a request for donations for >4 years: https://github.com/Marak/faker.js/commit/58aa94a99d6161418c4...

There is room for debate about how clear or strong the expectation of compensation was, but at least we can agree it wasn't 100% on the far extreme of "here, have this for free, I'm not expecting anything at all in return", and then going back on their word afterwards.

can donations be tax deducted ... labor laws ...

Interesting points. I think one of the ideas of the Open Source Collective as a 501(c)(6) non-profit is to provide more of that kind of legal certainty (donations aren't deductible as a charitable contribution, but may be deductible as a business expense). I wonder if it works?

Yeah, it's possible social pressure has the potential to be effective, although I think it would have to be well-organized, with someone like OpenCollective (or maybe it would be better if it was an independent organization?) that monitors and publicizes which companies are "leeches" making a lot of money off of open source, and which are "good citizens", or something.
If by 'meaner to each other' consider that after said policies were introduced IN THE 1960's, the amount of crime and violence increased massively in all groups, but most poignantly among African Americans wherein the murder rate today is considerably higher than back in the 'nice days' (peaking in 1992).

Everyone talks about 'rights' in the 1960's while at the same time there was a massive upheaval in crime.

Imagine if you lived in a plain, boring world, and then protests started to happen, and all rates of measured crime went up by 300-800% in your neighbourhood. Having the basis of comparison to know 'what it felt like before' you might be inclined to think the world is in disarray.

Imagine if you remembered a time when many inner cities were not 'no go zones' full of extreme crime and poverty - and that those were just 'normal' neighbourhoods, imagine seeing that precipitous decline in real time. It'd be hard not to recognize that 'something' was wrong.
We used to use that in 'production' to clean up CSVs that got exported with a weird byte at the beginning
