Yes, their mustache-twirling nefarious plot to have large quantities of a relatively stable substance placed in a warehouse in the incredible hope the warehouse might some day also contain tons of fireworks, 10k tires, and detonation cord to set things off.

It goes initial small fire caused by the welders -> tires -> fireworks -> ammonium nitrate. The exact cause probably won't be known because there's been no video discovered that shows that portion of the warehouse and anyone close enough to have known were likely killed in the explosion. It's not particularly important though for the purpose of the investigation because the goal was to show establish clearly that the storage was negligent so victims can seek legal redress.

The typical third party in Canada is NDP, which has had support between 15-25% of the vote within the last decade depending on the election. Which is quite different and quite more than the Libertarian party in the USA which has a very negligible influence. They also have been in power within a few provinces quite frequently. I don't think Canada was your best pick to make your point.

> Modern Tanks have a high resistance against RPG's, you can read for yourself.

> https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/Primer-on-Urban-Op...

To quote from this book, about regarding how badly they faired in Chechnya (as mentioned above):

> High casualties, massive collateral damage, and heavy losses in vehicles and equipment all point to the apparent folly of using tanks in the urban fight. This chapter will discuss the 1995 battle for Grozny and examine why the Russian armor did not achieve the desired results.

So... the argument is that "Russians don't know how to use tanks". I don't find this argument particularly persuasive.

It's true that up-armourmed Abrams in Fallujah proved effective against RPG-7s (as mentioned in your link). But the RPG-29 was used in Syria successfully against them, and (more often) by Hezbollah against the Merkava tanks.

I was talking to a friend the other day about the backlash against Clippy in Office. Reading these release notes, can't help wonder if IDE's will soon need an equivalent.

Something like -> "Hey! it looks like your function only accepts a fixed set of strings. Would you like to use String Literals?"

I don't only code in Typescript so it's not practical for me to keep up with every language I work with.

Search works great if you know what you want, then you'll end up on these excellent release notes or a stackoverflow post and off you go. The trouble is when you don't know what you don't know.
Often the decisions aren't wrong, but they are sub-optimal decisions. That's what I've found at least.

Sub optimal can move the needle and that's what a lot of people are looking for.
I tend to agree with the article. What does WLS2 provides that a regular VM (VirtualBox for example) doesn't? Or a Docker container that I run with "C:" mounted as a volume?
> Also, they never question why 2 tons of unclaimed ammonium nitrate was just sitting in the warehouse for 5-6 years. This stuff is expensive yet no one was trying to get it back.

It was seized, it belongs to the government at that point there was no one to come claim it. It was their job to safely store and dispose of in some manner.
Why he hell was the comment that responded to you downvoted? The guy has a background in the area and gave a thoughtful response. I seriously don't know what tha HackerNews mods think sometimes.
This article makes it seem like .50 rifles are the main reason the cartels are more powerful than the government in some areas of Mexico. Those things cost well over $10,000 apiece, and over $4 per round to fire. No expert, but I don't think that's how you take on an army.

I wish the article had focused more on the overall arms trafficking problem (which is about lots of cheap guns, not a few expensive ones) and the overall government instability problem, and (what the hell) the war on drugs that fuels it. Instead, it has a bunch of pictures of scary looking guns, and feels sensationalized and focused on the wrong thing entirely.
> Any company that wants to survive long-term doesn't do that. So go work for those instead. Companies who treat code this way aren't software companies, and they ain't gonna stick around for the long-run.

I wish this was true, but in my experience it's not. The company I currently work for has an old crufty codebase, large areas of which are not understood by anyone but the few remaining early hires. This codebase is going on 20 years old and is getting more complex with every release. And yet our revenue grows year after year because our competitors are far, far worse.

Another company I worked for years ago has by far the worst code and development practices I've ever seen. I'm talking about having the actual Visual Studio solution running live on the production server, and development was done by opening it in Visual Studio and hacking on it while it was running. I have never seen such towering incompetence before or since. I left partly because I was convinced the company would implode within a couple of years due to a developer accidentally nuking the production database or because the cost of developing new features would exceed any new revenue they could possibly bring in. Five years later, somehow they're still going strong.

> what should be really simple in practice

I thought you were talking about types in your own code. Lodash being a large, heavily overloaded and generic library it seems fair that the definitions are complex.

When it comes to external code like that, I don't think you can argue against the value of intellisense and safety (especially when upgrading versions). Those are in my opinion the biggest benefits of having strong types.

Why Isn't Everything Secure?
OSS could use similar licensing as some SaaS where it's free for personal use or commercial use up to certain limits and then you have to pay. This would ensure developers can use it freely but at some time a company would have to either pay it or ditch it.

However I see two issues with this model:
- the community will shit on it like it's not real OSS
- big companies will start banning the use of such licenses

The other alternatives many are doing are paid support, priority issues for sponsors, paid for issues, etc.

It turns out that for powerful theories of Computer Science,

there must exist infinitely many propositions that are

inferentially undecidable, that is, can be neither proved nor
disproved.

However, the propositions cannot be specified constructively

and so are not very interesting.

Currently, there seem to be no propositions interesting to

practical Computer Science that are provably inferentially

undecidable.

Self-hosting video content is either not very simple, or not very featureful.

You can put an html video tag and call it a day, but you'll be missing out on using the best codec for each viewer and bandwidth adaptation and (last I looked, hopefully I'm wrong) usable UI.

Bandwidth is an issue, although I've seen enough high bandwidth, unmetered server offers that I think it might work. Depending on where your viewers are and where you find cheap bandwidth, you might get poor performance just from distance, whereas YouTube and Facebook have CDNs with nodes everywhere.
It could be that Americans just prefer colder homes.

However last winter, my heating bill in my current American home was something like $400 USD/month for maintaining a colder house than I'm used to in Europe. As someone who lived in both places, you can bet cost does play a role.

This is really evident even in small projects. Many (most?) open source developers have full time day jobs often in software development. Adding the responsibilities of not only the software but also project management and customer service can be a huge burden. I think it's the combination that leads to a lot of dead projects. Then of course you have the other end of things with projects like Docker or Ansible that have large teams and often corporate funding but just can't keep up with the sheer firehose of issues and PRs.
A large part of this appears to be non cash expense associated with stock compensation that was recognized due to an investment round where they let employees and investors sell shares at above “market value”. Can helpful to look at cash flow.

They keep referencing 5 year average instead of what the maximum deaths were in any of the past 5 years. There were some flu death years that were pretty bad but never got any attention so wonder if that is why they don't mention how it compares to one of the maximums.
What would the "insulation rating" cover? E.g. the R-value of the stuff inside walls, which wouldn't cover windows or gaps or lots of other things, or do they somehow measure the R-value of the house as a whole?

Every house and rental I've encountered so far has given me the monthly heating/cooling cost up-front, which has so far been fairly accurate, assuming you hold at an area-normal temperature indoors. And they've all been able to tell me the R-value of the insulation in the walls and roof or attic. If ever it's more than like $100 for a single-family home, you pretty much know the insulation is bad or terrible.

I grew up in Maine and pursued all three hobbies.

Climbing in Acadia and the White Mountains, surfing on the coast, and skiing at Sugarloaf or Sunday River (or the white mountains).

Surfing and skiing were hardly world class, but both sports are locally popular and have a decent community following.

South America on the Pacific side will get you good winter surfing, and the mountains will provide ample alpine sports. Europe in general has some excellent ski/climb mountains, but I'm less familiar with surfing. Maybe France on the Atlantic side?

It seems pretty clear what the motives for reddit are. They want as much tracking/ads as possible as well as actively discouraging use over the app. At every step the website tells you to use the app instead or that this content is only available for app users.

I guess it depends on the forum. On usenet, many threads would last for weeks, if not months.

This hasn't been my experience, but sure, even if memory consumption is higher, for most applications where Windows users are going to use WSL, additional memory is incredibly cheap compared to the dev overhead of trying to boot into a Linux environment and switching back and forth.
I'm not particularly expert on this, but it seems like RISC-V is ramping up pretty quickly. Presumably an advantage to customers would be that they ideally wouldn't have any vendor lock-in (they could easily switch to a different RISC-V vendor, or even start manufacturing RISC-V chips themselves). They could also customize the ISA with extensions if they had an application for that (although it seems quite conceivable that that's a possibility with ARM too in some way; I don't really know).

I realize that just having a lot of RISC-V hardware options available isn't a guarantee that they're particularly good in terms of their price-power consumption-performance tradeoffs, especially in comparison to ARM (the "whole universe of high-quality hardware designs" that you mention). That may well have more of a delay.
It's easy for you to say "he shouldn't feel that way." But it's a different thing to be in the position yourself of having hundreds of thousands of people depending solely on you to fix a problem (even to just review and merge).

If the US legalized drug possession and taxed their sales, the cartels would disappear overnight and we could use the additional tax revenue to fund healthcare.

We'd create an economic boom from the farming of hemp to new drug manufacturing companies. As other countries loosen up, we might even have an export economy.

Stability in Mexico could make our neighbor a more attractive manufacturing and trade partner.

The old generation that believed in drug wars is dying or dead. It's time to change US policy.

As someone pointed out, time scales are important. Weather is usually good within a few hours, climate can go up to decades. What's implied here is something with a very quick cause/effect and likely an illustration of use in feedback loops on predictive modeling and sensed data for control systems within a plant.
Ease of use and ease of setup - both of which are important. If I want to setup an Ubuntu VirtualBox, I have to download the VirtualBox software, find the Ubuntu ISO, and run through the setup process. Then I've got to work through any quirks with the setup to get it working seamlessly within the larger windows environment.

With WSL? I hit the install button on the windows app store. That simplicity is important and vastly increases the immediate utility of something like WSL, especially if you just want to try it out.
