Yes, it's quite the can of worms when it comes to cultural/ethical/heritage/nationality identities in Bulgaria/the Balkans (and much of Europe).

I was clearly an outsider, I've visited Stolipinovo with other Bulgarians (non-Roma) who are also clearly outsiders, and we were all treated well.
Not surprised somebody named John Moscow would understand all this.
> Say you have an int field and you want to change it to an int array field.

Will you ever do that in real life? Seriously, why would someone change something from an int to an array...

I see all these Java programmers say that you should always use getters/setters and not expose public field in classes for this reason, yet I have to see an example where this would have happened.

Also the argument that you will need to touch more files in a refactoring. Sure. Not doing so would mean adding a technical debt, a method that exists for the sole purpose of some code that you were too lazy to update. Do that and your software will become spaghetti code easily.

I see this typically Java code that is not readable for all these getters, to the point that a simple class that represent a user is like 200 lines of code long for all these getters/setters that only return or set fields of the class without doing nothing.

Is also a matter of performance (no wonder Java code is that slow), since you are calling a function for each property access (and a function call is an expensive operation, it involves jumps, you have to access the vtable for the object, set up the stack frame) where you could simply access a field in an object (a simple addressing with an offset for the CPU). Sure, a call is not that expensive. But imagine doing that in a loop and it will be a performance problem. It will make also the CPU optimization work more difficult, since you are jumping around.
We are seeing the end of the nation state or at least its prominence.
> “There’s the physical black hole and then there’s the simulated one in the quantum computer, and there can be a replica wormhole connecting those,” said Douglas Stanford, a theoretical physicist at Stanford and a member of the West Coast team. This idea is an example of a proposal by Maldacena and Leonard Susskind of Stanford in 2013 that quantum entanglement can be thought of as a wormhole. The wormhole, in turn, provides a secret tunnel through which information can escape the interior.

What is this saying? Say we have a method for producing microscopic black holes, and a quantum computer capable of simulating them. What's the experiment we can do to show that this happens? We hit the real thing with a photon and it shows up in the simulation?
Yes, but people who get annoyed by someone else's ideas just calls them "lies."

I, for instance, watched in astonishment as a relatively straightforward story about Hunter Biden's emails somehow became a Russian disinformation campaign.
I'm trying to get feedback on the idea, because I think it is very simple and can work very good and scale and everything -- but it's so simple I keep wondering why no one ever tried it.

But I also have some very basic prototypes in place:

Point? They aren't claiming damages. They're claiming shady behaviour from Facebook.
I don't think the tone was hostile and if you ignore any hint of tone you might hear, you have to admit that the title is really click-baity (yes I understand that you didn't post it). Regardless of the criticisms of the project, it's great that you're experimenting and I would be curious to know what's causing the reduction in performance ... is it only part of the program or is that the performance of the Python code being interpreted.

> But how are those apps finding the DoH server's IP then?

I don't know, I haven't dug deep enough to find the answer for myself.

However, after blocking Google's DNS servers on my network and designating my own DNS servers via DHCP, my Chromecast ceased to function, and certain Android apps that serve ads had functionality that ceased to work correctly. That leads me to believe that apps and systems with DoH baked in are actively hostile to mitigations against their DoH implementations.
Could it be the detection isn’t as specific as promised?
Take your project idea and implement it to run under a different framework (GH app vs GH actions) and use the same super generic name. I'm not sure how the license matters here.
I agree. I think there's such an interest in seeing the genius behind a work which actually involves the collaboration of a group to actually succeed. Just like in team sports. There are great players who are great because they won a lot of championships, had high scoring totals, etc. But in most cases, they also had the best teams. The genius lifts their collaborators up and the inverse is also true. I wonder sometimes about great players in my favorite sport and have doubts about the career outcomes of some of their peers that seems to have a lot to do with how good their teams were, as well as how fortunate they were to avoid injury, etc. There are analogies to those factors as well in business, but they don't garner as much fascination as the idea that there's one person who really makes the thing go.
Dead comments remain dead in the hands of mere mortals. I can only assume that the gods of HN have powers beyond that.

You can only check 'show dead' option on HN to be exposed to what others have deemed unworthy to be heard or touched by key-presses.
UK, Canada, and Australia all have radically different constitutions; very hard to compare any of them to the US Constitution. Broadly speaking, the UK one is more a body of law, the Canadian is a single document which the government can override, and I'm not too familiar with the Australian one, but it seems fairly limited compared with the others mentioned.
> I'm not sure "originalist" means anything. The constitution, like all legal texts, contains contradictions between different principles.

Not just the Constitution, either. Other contemporary writings - the Federalist Papers, etc. - are often quote-mined to determine "intent". As you identify, these offer a lot of opportunities to pick and choose stuff in favor of whatever ideological decision you'd like to make.
Sure, but partisanship is getting much worse. The precedent has now been set to completely reject any nomination from the opposing party. That will lead to even more partisanship as nominating "moderates" no longer makes sense. We're in for a future of nothing but Alito's and Thomas's.
Not an attorney, not legal advice... this is what I would do myself.
GET REAL LEGAL ADVICE.
There are only a few reasons they would want exclusivity.
First, they like it so much, they want it to be brand specific. This should be very expensive for them, especially if your work is well known.
Second, they are in violation of your copyright already and they want to cure it without possibility of recourse.
Finally, they just want to be able to license it to anyone else and they perceive a market for it.
Most likely are first and second.
If you choose the first, make sure it’s worth it to you. Also make sure that any prior use of the artwork doesn’t violate their contract, even if it hasn’t surfaced yet.
If you suspect the second, make sure they disclose, as an addendum to the agreement, to you any prior use THEY have of your artwork, or derivative works, and base your decision on that. Make sure any after-the-fact discovery of their violations by you or anyone else triggers a very large penalty payment, or ends the agreement.
If it’s the third reason, and they see an untapped market, they can’t realize it without your artwork. Build in some ceilings after which you get a cut, or caveats where they don’t control it.
Good luck.

p.s. Remember that if you open source it, anyone can use it for anything they want, subject to your license terms, even if the things aren’t things you support. Think about it carefully.
Slightly off-topic, but why do old time football videos always seem like they're played at 80% speed?
Neanderthals had larger brains in proportion to their body mass than we do. They were possibly smarter than we were.
I'm with you. I also enforced getters-and-setters back in the day, for no good reason.

If you're worried about long diffs because you changed many calls from '.x' to '.getX()', good. If it's so coupled that it's called in a thousand places, and you just changed functionality, it's on you to understand those thousand places. If it doesn't affect those places - which you don't know unless you look - then don't make the change.

As for the RgbColor example in the article, not using setters would be better.

RgbColor red = new RgbColor(1,0,0);
red.set(.., .., ..);
// Is it still 'red'?
No, no, not humans. The we that have dominion are certain genes, for which the humans are mere vehicles. These genes are just as old as the mushroom genes.

And this gene cluster is aiming to master the rock that is the Earth through modifying other gene clusters. And you can't stop it. Because through modification it grows stronger and more able. And it has rallied the memome and the hologenome to its cause. This cause requires no convincing because only winners get to play the next round. Change is inevitable. Understanding is overrated. Control does not require it.

Transformation Theology has subsumed this world. You live in an ether floating in it. You cannot choose the path of no change. No such path exists.
That's of course a determination you can make once the bug report comes in. But rejecting all reports outright without even looking is really missing out on one of the key advantages that open source culture brings to the table.

This aspect is not specific to open source either. In my book, maintainers of proprietary software, and I'm one of those, are also making a huge mistake if they ignore bug reports from users. But in open source, it goes further, by inviting contributions even in form of patches for bugs or improvements. Not allowing any of those is what I call stupid in the above post.
To see it as someone just trying to get work done, and wanting to continue to call this fairly trivial tool something obvious?
No, that's why I find it hard to describe how I feel. I'm pro choice. It's not my place to tell someone what to do with their bodies or the fetuses they're carrying(please don't get into an abortion debate because of this, i'm not going to answer any comments going on about that to avoid things getting out of control), but this still makes me feel uncomfortable.

This is something different, this is the first time this has been done, there was signs that their brains were going to be similar to ours, meaning possibly self aware and intelligent, I dunno, like i say, i'm not even sure which I feel like is the ethical choice...

Like I say, I find it hard to describe how I feel about it all.
> The worst argument for designing an experience is that users want it.

This statement may be the crux of disagreement in the culture wars as well. To me this is an alien and hostile idea against all that can be good. I'm sure you have some reasoning based on an experience behind it, but it's very likely one of those irreconcilable differences of interests that we have conventions and civilization to navigate and negotiate around. I don't think we persuade each other, but rather, negotiate boundaries. Those boundaries are what we understand as tolerance.
The Roma are well integrated in the US? I saw a TV show where that was clearly not the case, there was a community where everybody was supposed to get married inside their own community. I don't think that is integration.

Ofcourse I don't know how big this group was, relative to all Roma people in the US. This was some reality marriage show, I think on TLC or something. (yes, my then-girlfriend watched this :) ).

The original project was a GH app. The new codebase is a GH action. My guess is FB wants to consolidate what they can to GH actions, which are easier to manage and such.

> The Earth is a giant living system we're slowly killing and replacing with human technology.

"It is only due to a predominance of influences that are not only entirely morally indifferent, but indeed — from a human perspective — indescribably cruel, that nature has been capable of constructive action. Specifically, it is solely by way of the relentless, brutal culling of populations that any complex or adaptive traits have been sieved — with torturous inefficiency — from the chaos of natural existence. All health, beauty, intelligence, and social grace has been teased from a vast butcher’s yard of unbounded carnage, requiring incalculable eons of massacre to draw forth even the subtlest of advantages. This is not only a matter of the bloody grinding mills of selection, either, but also of the innumerable mutational abominations thrown up by the madness of chance, as it pursues its directionless path to some negligible preservable trait, and then — still further — of the unavowable horrors that ‘fitness’ (or sheer survival) itself predominantly entails. We are a minuscule sample of agonized matter, comprising genetic survival monsters, fished from a cosmic ocean of vile mutants, by a pitiless killing machine of infinite appetite. (This is still, perhaps, to put an irresponsibly positive spin on the story, but it should suffice for our purposes here.)"
From a legal point of view, yes. From a social point of view, no – but that's not what people argue about.
> This is not the case, and the Zoom situation is a clear counterexample.

I was talking about MALWARE. As I said before, Zoom is not malware, so no, it's not a counterexample.

This is my last reply to you. You're clearly not interested in having a good faith conversation, you continue to misinterpret me and want to score "internet points" or something. I'm done.
They can Uber. Remember, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
Conspiracies don't have to be spoken in hushed words in smoke-filled rooms to be conspiracies. Nothing about redlining, for instance, was particularly secret, but it was still a conspiracy.
Wingsuits are much closer to gliders than rocks aerodynamically. They can generate lift and fly upwards for a short time. Ram air wingsuits have only been around for less than 25 years but have developed dramatically during that time, even without power. They are amazing gliding craft.
Obviously, but the real issue would be figuring out how to tweak our genes to do so. Figuring out how to enlarge the brain of a monkey would've been much easier, because human genes provided a ready-made template for these researchers to use.
I maintain a few open source Mac apps that I'm not paying to Notarize.

Users frequently comment that the apps are now "broken" because they don't understand the changes Apple made to macOS to treat un-Notarized apps as if they're radioactive.
> First Amendment protects you from government. Catholics are not the government.

Right. That's my point; there's no need to reconcile the First Amendment with permitting gay marriage. There's nothing to reconcile.

The common "allowing gay marriage is an infringement of religious freedom" argument is bunk for that reason.
Isn't the opposite the case? If I see aliasing and sharpening, I see it as digital distortion you wouldn't expect from film. When I see a bunch of digital artifacts on a film transfer, I think of it as a bad transfer.
FedSoc has a well known reputation for being a nice civic organization for the legal profession and also endorsing the most radical right wing supreme court nominees. Without the broad acceptance by the legal community, it wouldn't be as effective.
Really good execution, I’m impressed.
You're making the assumption the "average buyer" knows anything about this issue, which is incredibly unlikely. Therefore, their buying decisions are not made based on it.

I think a good goal would be to scream it as loud as possible and make sure people are buying it based on this dimension as well.
For something like a PDF, macOS would open Preview, or some other PDF-handling app, to handle it if the user opens it in the Finder. So the PDF would have to have code in it that exploited some security weakness in the associated app that would cause the code to be executed, correct?

Just trying to make sure I'm understanding.

As a maintainer of a few open source Mac apps that are un-Notarized, this doesn't help users who download the apps to solve their problems but can't use them because of the roadblocks baked into macOS.
> This is simply not true. Companies reserve the right to own any IP you create when you’re in contract, but that doesn’t mean they automatically own/are responsible for everything you do.

Depends on a contract. I worked in once place that specifically said every line of code you write during employment belongs to the company. Even on own PC, during non-working hours on bank holiday during personal holiday. One guy ended up in troubles after the contributed a bug fix to Eclipse STS, which we were using at work.
I’m Irish. We had a similar gypsy group in this country commonly referred to as Travellers and to say that there is utter hatred of them by the general populace is an understatement. The division between communities is extreme.

It’s difficult to look past ones prejudices and I’m very aware of my own in this situation. It’s easy to hate on the entire community because of the appalling behaviour of a few and their insular nature as a community.

Of course it’s far more complex than the surface reveals and there are huge issues around education, inclusion, and integration.
Not that I have encountered. Perhaps all of the Gypsy/Roma I have spoken with are too polite to let me know otherwise.

What a fabulous film that was. Never read the book.
I wish there was a better way to discuss this, ideally without 1. focusing on actions of individuals and 2. assuming bad faith.

Doing both of these when there are still some unknowns can cause unnecessary harm.
It's so easy to speak of something one has only a superficial understanding of.

If one really wants to get a better understanding go and try to live like a normal person in the vicinity of their community. Pose as a foreigner or journalist and they'll tell you how much they have to endure. Pose as a neighbour minding your own business and you'll see what happens :)) I guess this will be an amazing article.

The gypsies are the master of social engineering and fake propaganda. Rroma is the new branding put forward after everyone agreese the word gypsy carries too much of a bad meaning. It's curious people don't ask themselves why the word American is a good word and the word gypsy is a bad word.

It's so easy to judge from the outside the Bulgarians as racists because of the self preservation mechanisms they set in place to live together with gypsies. Surely if one does the math to gauge the money that were spent by a tiny country to integrate the gypsy communities for more than 5 decades will exceed by multiple orders of magnitude the investment the western or US governments in social integration and justice. The same experiment can be easily replicated in any Eastern European country that still has large communities of gypsies.
Initially I assumed this would increase average lifespan by 25% or so. But it doesn't. Like if you assume zero percent chance of dying before age 80 and 10% every year after, then your average lifespan is around 85 years. If you eat chilis then it doesn't affect your first 80 years at all and only gives you an extra year or two after 80, so maybe 87 on average. Obviously this is a simplification but shows that eating chilis won't automatically make you live to 125. (Assuming the headline holds, which...)
We think the exact same thing when non-americans discuss America. If you really think like that, speak only about yourself and nothing else ever.
How you can post this and think you are being realistic after Alito's speech is mind boggling.
Is preventing wildfires even a desirable thing in the first place? Wasn't one of the major lessons of California's wildfires in recent years that if you don't have a small fire every once in a while, you'll have a HUGE fire instead after brush builds up enough?
> The Army has nothing to with personal self-defense or protection of civil rights

In the view of the theory underlying the second amendment, it is an existential threat to the latter which makes assuring that the State can meet it's internal and external security needs solely through small permanent cadres plus mobilization of the citizen militia of paramount importance.

> Standing armies were the part of the motivation for the 2nd Amd.

Preventing standing armies was, which is presumably why the statement was that having one (and also standing paramilitary forces for internal security, which was actually the abuse that was the biggest fear motivating fear of standing armies) rendered the second amendment irrelevant.
> whether they arrived there because of "the algorithm" or because they intentionally filter out sources they disagree with ... it doesn't really matter.

At the end of the day, we're each responsible for making sense of the world from news sources. People get too hung up on the concept of "unbiased". I think that's an unrealistic ideal when it comes to politics. It's like wanting to eat fruit but always expecting it to be peeled for you, meticulously, and placed on your plate without blemishes or bruises.

While it's certainly possible to responsibly and critically "consume a feed" that has been algorithmically generated for you based on your history of media consumption behavior and your social network attributes-- it's much more efficient to seek out high quality sources of information.

That doesn't mean block out everything you disagree with, but it does mean block out noise and consider what you give your attention to. You can't do that easily when a third party is dumping garbage onto the page for the sake of motivations that have little to do with informing you.

I guess a super obvious question is, why do they do this instead of having a robust antivirus ecosystem?

I mean I guess I already know the answer, "marketing". "Look, macOS doesn't require antivirus!"

Personally I don't want Apple verifying or revoking anything. I bought the computer, it's mine. You don't get to tell me what I can run, period. Inform me, sure, give me links to go learn why you don't want me to run something, sure. Don't prevent me from choosing to do with my machine what I want.
