This spirit is captured elegantly by Sagan in the Pale Blue Dot chapter The Gift of Apollo.

An excert:
< "“Whatever the reason we first mustered the _Apollo_ program, however mired it was in Cold War nationalism and the instruments of death, the inescapable recognition of the unity and fragility of the Earth is its clear and luminous dividend, the unexpected final gift of _Apollo_. What began in deadly competition has helped us to see that global cooperation is the essential precondition for our survival.

Travel is broadening. It's time to hit the road again.”

I agree about Perl; haven't done a lot of one liners with Ruby when I was using the language. Perl was made to be really compact to the detriment of being hard to read. I think Python strikes a nice balance, and you can compress it to a point. In discussions like these I always like to bring out my one-liner k-nearest neighbor classifier [1]!

It's all about identity. Croatian fascists rose to power riding a nationalistic sentiment that was brewing in the country which has been under foreign rule for centuries. Not sure where you get the "started the war to annihilate everyone else" angle.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan too, but I don't think it's a good idea to paint everything with a rough brush and miss the nuances. It's important to understand people and what motivates them and what are the phycological forces at play. And you can do that without having to concede a "good people on both sides" bullshit.

Honestly I don't think my grandfather had any idea about politics and -isms. He was just a kid been dragged into the war merely by belonging to a given tribe in a given place in a given time. When I was a kid his whole spiel about fascists va communists, christians vs party, was just our people vs their people. He used the same words and arguments I heard of people when the enemy was the "american imperialists". There was no ideology whatsoever, just the feeling of being oppressed.

I don't see anything wrong punishing actual war criminals and top level brass, but when you stigmatize a whole population do you really expect people not holding a grudge and distorting facts to paint themselves in the best possible light?
My argument is they beat them by being a better optimized version of what came before.

How are you dealing with low storage scenarios? e.g. HDD 256 GB, 50GB of free space available, total backup data for compressing and encrypting 100GB.
Part of a protection racket is staging attacks when you think you're not going to get paid (or you're not getting paid yet). You could just as easily make a case along those lines, but both cases would be disingenuous because real life is complicated. Just because it's a protection racket doesn't mean that it needs to at all times 100% conform to a sentence that you found on wikipedia.

As in a real life protection racket, there will always be events that occur in spite of the protection offered. The core of a racket is to respond with disproportionate violence. For example, sending your army to harass the entire country that some of your attackers were part of. Drone strikes on schools that are known to be full of children. There are more salient examples to be found, but I think we don't need them.
It's interesting to layman's eyes that the dosing regime using 1.5 doses is more effective than the one using 2 doses as I would expect the inverse; are there any plausible explanations for this?
It seems highly unlikely you will make your money on selling people things they don't want OR need, I mean you can certainly make money selling things people don't need but that is because they want it.

Do you think you could be affected by selection bias? If I review the comments that mention censorship, it seems to be a nuanced discussion from a range of political perspectives:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+censor...

The reason that some people (like myself, admittedly) are upset about extremist views being censored is not because we agree with the extremist views, but because censorship starts with the views that "everyone" can agree to censor; communists, ethno nationalists, anarchists; for example, then it expands to suppress religious minorities, atheists, sexual minorities, racial minorities, etc, etc. Censorship is then used to suppress even the discussion of whether censorship is correctly applied.

Once that mechanism is in place, the censorship inevitably expands to include information that is inconvenient or embarrassing to those who control the censors.

Witness the persecution of Julian Assange, for example.

That's complete and utter conspiracy nonsense because control implicates intentions, but the media - and especially social media - are not directed by a uniform actor with intentions.

What you're insinuating to be mind control are normal social mechanisms that have always been in place and have nothing to do with the media. They are primarily exerted upon you by your peers (close friends, family, colleagues), and not by the media. Whether these social control mechanisms are good or bad depends on the how closed these groups are and what view/policies they have. For example, if you're surrounded by religious fanatics, then that's likely going to be bad for you.

What you refer to is actually an "alt right" meme that was invented to discredit free thinking (free thinking requires people to be well-informed) and push an authoritarian and communitarian agenda in which people are more controlled than in a free society. It's a fascist agenda that only works if you successfully discredit media first, since otherwise nobody will buy the "alternative facts" nonsense they're trying to sell.

If it's one of the recently trendy 'bamboo' cups, I'm fairly certain most of them are made of predominately with melamine.

> Overall, the BfR tested 228 bamboo mugs for formaldehyde and 180 for melamine. In each case, more than 35% of the cups released harmful substances in amounts that surpassed safety limits. Moreover, the amount of melamine – but not formaldehyde – the mugs released increased with repeated exposure to hot and slightly acidic liquids.

If anything I'm not sure Linus is held in enough esteem outside of tech circles.

I wish all the time that more of the people I know outside of software could benefit from something like Git. It's unbelievable how powerful a tool it is, and when I watch people doing awkward and error prone simultaneous-editing and remote synching etc, it just doesn't compare.

But then git is too abstract for many. Your files are a representation of a state of combined changes, the files themselves are not the owners of their content.

I even had to have a huge debate with a developer once about how storing a git repo in Dropbox folder so they could have same exact state across two machines was a terrible idea, and already solved with Git itself...

And then how few people also know how many places the Linux kernel or derivatives live, or even that many things they use are running something based on Linux.

What an incomprehensibly huge achievement on both counts!

I've gone down this rabbit hole with a mixture of Node-RED and homebridge: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2019/01/13/1900

I tried Home Assistant, but by the time I got to it I had already built out 100% of what I needed and it didn't support a couple of custom integrations I'd built, so... I'm still running my combo today.
Looks like it, not sure which one though.

Updating the five minute and the five byte rules
Not sure if sarcasm, but writing assembly is complete shite to be honest, even on bare metal. Simple things suddenly take significant time and you probably create a worse result than modern compilers, even on more arcane platforms. Maybe it is useful for an interrupt routine to put some data in a data buffer.

Maybe interpreters are too much for µC, I think the most painful disadvantage of C is string manipulation and trends show a preference for human readable protocols for serial communication. For prototyping even JS might have use case though.

I do something similar with my phone. Android phone set to "do not disturb" permanently. The only exceptions calls/texts from starred contacts which include only my immediately family, work when I'm on call (and only then), and I'll temporarily add a starred contact if I'm expecting a call (eg I've called a tradesperson leaving a message and expect a call back).

And even my immediate family talk to me primarily via chat apps that aren't covered via starred contacts. Therefore I know when my phone makes a sound it is something I need to respond to in a timely manner.

Everything else causes a notifications pulse, with different colours for different apps (purple for a chat app, yellow for work email etc). It's so unobtrusive I don't notice it unless I deliberately look at it.
I'm curious if ToS's have ever been legally useful. I've heard cases where they've been thrown out and disregarded by courts when they conflict with (the judge's interpretation of) the common law, but never the other way around.
>YouTube shoves them in the middle of the video in a way the creator clearly didn’t plan for though - cutting someone off mid sentence usually.

It's possible for the creator to manually place ads in the middle of the video or to let YouTube automatically place them. In both cases you will likely get ads that are in the middle of a sentence, because the ad placement tool is poor. It can be laggy and imprecise, but most frustratingly, it tends to break if you play around with it for more than 30 seconds. At that point you lose track of where you were and have to do it again. It's been broken like that for a long time. My guess is that the state of that tool is part of the reason why creators don't place their ads precisely. Going from a full fledged video editor with great seek and all that, to a poorly functioning web UI is very frustrating.
For non-technical people I would say it is much easier. Use another service that offers email, calendar and contacts (Germany is full of them) - done. For storage it's a little more complicated. Other than that, what do regular people use? Search? I've seen just as many use bing or what have you.
Could someone find out why it crashes, is it exploitable? :D
Valid points, and the REPL in JS/TS is handy. But it's worth pointing out that when/if a project outgrows JS, there are more options than just C/C++. The smaller community/ecosystem doesn't matter nearly as much in embedded, at least for libraries. I've found all the Nim libraries I've needed or wrapped C SDK ones, and the debugger is the standard C one. Rust is similar, and more productive than C for many people once you get familiar with it. Though yes, you've got to be willing to figure out things in both. Overall it's good to see more options.

“What Can't Be Translated?

Rosetta can translate most Intel-based apps, including apps that contain just-in-time (JIT) compilers. However, Rosetta doesn’t translate the following executables:

- Kernel extensions

- Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms

Rosetta translates all x86_64 instructions, but it doesn’t support the execution of some newer instruction sets and processor features, such as AVX, AVX2, and AVX512 vector instructions. If you include these newer instructions in your code, execute them only after verifying that they are available. For example, to determine if AVX512 vector instructions are available, use the sysctlbyname function to check the hw.optional.avx512f attribute.“

Ask HN: Why voice search is pretty much nonexistant in websites?
According to Google data, almost 50% of users are using voice to search on Google. This is one big reason why natural queries such as "what's the population of US" are of importance to Google.

However, almost no websites or mobile applications have this feature. Why is that? Is it due to bad developers tools for building voice search (eg. bad usability), because product managers still don't believe in it, because initial testing showed that people want to stop using voice after they land to the website or what is it?
What do you think? Have you tried voice search on your application or website?
Respectfully, I disagree about the comparison with jQuery.

On the technical grounds, you are right that the biggest thing against jQuery was that it operated on the global context and that made large codebases messy, and that CSS alone might lead to a similar experience.

But I am not talking about CSS, I am talking about having an organized SASS framework, which can provide the utility classes (mixins) and which then your code would be organized by "base elements/components/pages" along with variable definitions.

The approach I am using and suggesting does require a certain discipline. It will also require that the whole team conforms to the idea that no class should represent presentation directives. But in my view this discipline not only would be beneficial in the long term, the separation of concerns would improve the chances of making reusable components and design systems that are easier to improve on its own, separate from the specifics of each underlying website/webapp that tries to adopt it.
Thank you for that bit of trivia. Very interesting.

>U.S. President Bill Clinton owned and wore several early models (including the original) of the watch during his time as Governor of Arkansas and in the early years of his Presidency. In one of his early Presidential photographs and at his 1993 Inaugural Ball, he is seen wearing a blue and black Ironman Triathlon. Clinton's forgoing of a more presidential watch such as a Rolex earned him some criticism; Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post described Clinton's timepiece derisively as “a plastic digital watch, thick as a brick and handsome as a hernia”, while Omega SA ran ads in 1992 suggesting that Clinton should give up the Timex in favor of something more expensive. Clinton stopped wearing his Ironman publicly in 1994, starting with the 50th anniversary of D-Day.[2][3] Clinton has since donated one of his early Ironman models to the Smithsonian.

This sounds uncomfortably familiar. I started out wanting to measure my room temperature and log it into a database. Three years later and you're soldering ESP8266s.

A lot of fun and I've picked up plenty of skills among the way all over the stack: Automated setup of Rasbperry Pis, Docker, Let's Encrypt, IP forwarding and NAT transversals, sniffing traffic from iOS Apps, developing Python modules for HA, hosting time series databases, accessing them from Junyper notebooks, programming ESPs, basic electronics, soldering your own sensor packages...

I really love Home Assistant as a powerful Open Source project, but the knowhow required to successfully run it is staggering.

This vaccine is an inactive host virus whose payload has been replaced by the coronavirus "spike". It has always been a worry that the body will generate immunity to the host virus and thus make the vaccine less effective. That is a likely explanation for the first-full-dose regimen being less effective.
What?

I've read this 3 times and can't figure out what you're trying to say.

Are you saying that rich countries are going to intentionally choose more expensive vaccines, with the intention of suppressing the lower classes?

That's so rediculous. In rich countries (other than the usa) the gov pays for these things not the citizens. Even then, the expensive vaccine is only $40, that's within the means of most poor people.

Not to mention that would screw over the rich people who want to benefit from (vaccine induced) heard immunity.
Because, to be frank, Arduino is a bit of a toy platform.

It is really good for beginners and for hobbyists to make embedded devices available to a wider audience, but nobody in their right mind would build an actual product on top of Arduino.
Aye, in general legibility >> compactness. Apart from the intellectual exercise (fun; !work), one-liners imo come in handy in:

>some_complex_tool | 'my one liner' | some_other_complex_tool > result.txt

Not putting the one-liner logic into a separate script avoids an additional lookup for someone learning what is going on, along with any deployment/path/.. dependencies to that separate script.
Is this based on conjecture or personal experience from working on multi-dev projects with both hygienic and unhygienic macro systems?

I lack such comparative experience but my guess would be that if your org's development approach is such that inexperienced people churn out dodgy macros without more expert review you are screwed and having a hygienic macro system will not save you. I'm very sceptical hygienic macros are at all comparable in utility to what a type system provides for multi-dev projects of any size. These benefits of types at scale are fairly massive and apply to basically any code. In contrast macros should make up a tiny amount (much less than 5% certainly) of code in a non-trivial application code base which means careful review is not a big overhead (and in my experience competent programmers do not introduce a lot of hygiene problems). So to be equivalent, in those instances where you do get a benefit from hygiene, that benefit would need to be absolutely massive compared to the average benefit you get of types.
