A world without newsfeeds and algorithmically/SEO driven culture wars? A world without our social lives being manipulated by shady Big Tech firms and VCs, free of corporate surveillance? A man can dream.
Yeah, no reference to crypto and blockchain? This article didn't cover the most worrying ponzi scheme I've seen since public pension plans.
This seems in line with other studies (like the ones using intravenous immunoglobulin, IVIG) that show moderately immunosuppressive drugs have only a slight benefit but a measurable benefit nonetheless.

During early days I was reasonably convinced drugs like IVIG would have a significant positive effect given the ARDS symptoms, but looks like that's not true :(

However I'm still fascinated about the possibilities of IVIG therapy - it's essentially a pooled antibody mixture from thousands of donors. IVIG has immunosuppressive effects more than would be expected from its antibodies, and IVIG made this year is bound to have anti covid antibodies as well so it will be interesting to see what effect new ivIG batches would have on patients!
“they really needed to have Android apps compatibility mode till they gained enough market share”

I think Microsoft remembers how that approach worked for OS/2 and Windows compatibility mode.

Developers would think “we don’t need to develop for Windows phone” and users would think “I’ll buy a real android phone and not a phone that emulates it, and lags its software by half a year, and will have bugs”
That sounds exactly like every Linux-on-desktop experience I've made with any hardware.
Less secure than what? Unencrypted attachments?
I was able to fix the brightness controls on Ubuntu by switching to Linux 5.8, if you haven't already tried that.
I go to https://www.nytimes.com/timeswire, skim the top 10-20 article blurbs and open 5-7 in tabs. I never read every article in the paper. I skim news (not just NYT: WSJ, FT, Guardian, some local papers) twice a day. Most news articles are written in inverted funnel format so I read the first couple of paragraphs and decide whether or not to read the rest of the article.
Could have been to eliminate evidence. Security services can glean alot of information from the type of equipment used and it's sophistication or conversely lack of sophistication.
You give up reputability by using PGP/GPG, which is a pretty big deal when transmitting secrets, and in the default configuration that everyone has GPG involves using long-lived secret keys on untrusted devices.

The first is a problem that is often not thought about in the moment. You know you need to transmit a secret, but it is rare that people think about under what future circumstances they will want to deny having sent it.

The second is a practical defeat of the assumed security model. The GPG secret is a high-value target that is relatively easy to snag from unencrypted memory on untrustworthy devices.
What are you basing this off of? Rick and Morty? Have you ever met an actual genius?
Any word on a modern port of Quake to iOS/macOS?
This is the book that started it all for me.
Have to consider the context though, I’d point to it being a front end NPM compatible language from the same FAANG that React is from (vs a language from French academics that’s used in less popular domains) before curly braces.

Elm uses a more traditional ML syntax and AFAIK is more popular than Reason, though that’s complicated by it not using React and both of them being dwarfed by Typescript.
Your assertion only makes sense if you assume the only people accessing the site live in SLC.
The guy who wrote the OP is the guy behind Signal. That's the most obvious alternative.

But there's not a go-to answer because the lesson learned from PGP is that there can't be a single crypto Swiss army knife of a protocol. There are conflicting tradeoffs that necessitate the use of different protocols for different use cases. The best replacement for PGP is probably a basket of different protocols. See for example: https://blog.gtank.cc/modern-alternatives-to-pgp/
I think you're probably right in that this discussion isn't changing anyone's opinion.

That said, I don't know how it could be tired, as these laptops were just released. I also don't know what you mean by 'un-nuanced', but I don't see how understanding why they favor lock in is relevant. He's not talking about the merits of a closed ecosystem or locking things down, just about whether or not they might lock things down further in the future.

I think most people understand the motivation behind Apple trying to control every aspect of their products, whether or not they think it's a good practice.
Disappointed I wasn't immediately befriended by a friendly face: Tom.
I recall having 'burnt out' two optical drives on hand-me-downed PS1's.

Instead of needing a mod chip, you could jam the internal open/close switch mechanism closed. Allowing you to open the disc tray while it was still spinning. You'd let a legitimate game boot up to pass the DRM, then swap in a burnt disc. I wondered if it contributed to the drives failing.

Also to your point, is Disc Rot itself attacking original discs.
You’re arguing a situation seems absurd to you and then working backwards. However we want to live by the Rule of Law so you need to put aside your commitment to your sentiment that this is absurd and investigate what is really happening, and then form a constructive rules-based case that would be fair even to companies that aren’t Apple.

The problem with committing to your sense this is absurd is that you are neglecting to check if it is absurd. Perhaps your own assertions are the problem.

For instance the Apple App Store fee can also be negotiated. There is nothing preventing Apple or an app developer from negotiating prices.

Famously they did with Amazon for instance.

The crux of the Apple case is whether they may legitimately control what apps you may install on your own general purpose computer. That element is critical to not just Apple but how much power any computer manufacturer now and into the long future may possess.

The shopping mall analogy doesn't hold because both sellers and buyers have access to the entire free market. It's not controlled by the landlord.

I would guess your sense the situation is absurd is based on this, but you haven't been able to articulate it. However, it is very common to argue digital freedoms based on what we want and feel rather than what rules make sense, and that is necessarily critiqueable as a bad habit.
Heh, I actually agree that some of the called out use cases such as PinnedDeployment are needed but imo extensibility of kubernetes api make it non issue since you can just build your own implementations
Need to add “(2004)” to the title.
Those HTML elements are radio buttons being used to choose between options of OS, mail server, etc. Each radio button is associated with a label that contains the correct text. Selecting a radio button unambiguously makes a `display:none` element no longer be that.

What part of it do you think is bad for usability or accessibility?
The “special javascript instructions” are a single instruction that’s only impact is removing a perf advantage intel has due to JS exposing x86 specific sentinels to the web.

The only thing it does is remove a branch in arm64 where the various JITs have to do:

Int value = (int)some double;
If (flags) value = x86 sentinel

Whereas x86 systems don’t have a branch by definition.

That is all the “special instruction” does.
I've heard that the scripting capabilities are pretty solid in Roblox, are you not able to create your own currency?
I love this. For v2 you need to add a crypto angle.
Not always islands, if you had a modem and a phone line. Pre-Internet were increasingly numerous BBS systems, from big one’s like AOL and CompuServ to medium sized one’s like GEnie and many tiny independents. Instead of remembering URLs you had lists of phone numbers (the smaller one’s requiring long distance calls when those were still expensive) for your little modems to dial. My Atari ST (a contemporary of the Amiga) was online a lot already during those days. I actually connected to the Internet via CompuServ for quite a while before the local phone company began to offer dial-up Internet service. And pirated as well as free software were widely available already back then.
Another way to describe it would be a clear lie, by their own definition. What other way you could you know how people are using tools then by...monitoring the use of said tools?
Sure, rankings are meaningless to us. But they matter to children, who still being primates of little to no distinction from the animal kingdom, really like to keep score.

You know how kids are. They only hear what they want to hear. They sulk and throw tantrums. No reason for an adult to let it get under their skin. On the contrary, they look up to us, and need us to be solid.
I don't quite believe the people who might want to run Linux on the M1 would consider Linux-on-"currently-pretty-poor" to be as similar as you make it out to be.
We won't know what is "correct, just and fair" until there is a lot more transparency in the system.

All salary info of companies should be made publicly available after a recent study by a major consulting firm in Boston concluded that after looking at all of the different metrics that HR has proposed to evaluate employees, nothing correlated particularly well with level of employee compensation.

Companies that purchase access from credit-reporting agencies like Experian can learn a lot about their employees previous salary history.

All employees have by way of recourse is access to the high NSR data available on spam-filled recruiting websites like Glassdoor.
I think it is prudent not to sit on other people's couches uninvited.

Now what programmers do to their own couches or RAM I couldn't care less about, but generally they write software for other people and their RAM.
Just took a look at the page source. Tables--Huzzah!
I’m generally anti regulation. Shouldn’t we teach people to question what they read in addition to how to read? This places a bias on personal liberty.

Regulation and licensing introduces change. There’s no stipulation whether the change is positive or negative, and to again make a change once it’s set generally requires lobbyists and lots of money in the US.

Having worked in NYC with union workers I have witnessed how easily it can be abused.

Is there any reason why we want to double down on this model? Are we all so blind fed by outrage and/or social media we accept emotions instead of debate?

These are the kinds of things I want to see. The human fallacy is known and quantified, although, as far as I know it’s abused / exploited instead of providing neutral
ground for policy discussion.
Ask HN: Good library for a web-based REPL?
I'm working on a programming language implementation, and I'd like to offer a web-based REPL so people can try it easily.

Frontend is not really my area, so maybe I didn't use the right search keywords. But an online search only revealed what seem to be single maintainer, fairly outdated jQuery plugins.

Does every try<language> website out there just implement its own REPL? Seems like a ton of work.
Haha, you read my mind. Came here to search for "but most of all, samy is my hero"
If you're not willing to look outside of the exact form factor and specs that Apple happens to support, then open devices aren't a priority for you.

I use a 1 inch thick Thinkpad that's almost a decade old because it runs Libreboot. There is an alternative, but you need to be in the mindset where freedom is more important than hardware.
That's exactly what the weboob project aims to do: modularize backends (ie website) and applications so you can "use" website content the way you want

I'm not the person you asked, but the most relevant advice I got was to pay half the commission after month 1 and half after month 12.

It helps weed out the less honest people, aligns sales with support, and protects cash flow.
With Darcs you might put some tag in the patch name which would be caught by a hook if it was accidentally pushed.
>This may push some people into an ever deeper rabbithole, but it might also cure a lot of the "5 min expert" syndrome we've seen.

But people being pushed into an ever deeper rabbithole of lies and extremism is a much bigger problem than "5 min expert" syndrome, and the former inevitably feeds the latter.

Sure, people have the right to their recursively self-reinforcing reality bubbles because freedom of speech and all, but societies decohere when their members violently disagree on even the fundamental aspects of reality.
I recall this - it was initially rejected for being too big & unwieldy to review. So I assume this is attempt 2?
Unfortunately, any profiler I tried does not show these issues. Because the code you are profiling will be optimized completely differently. Although it makes sense to do the optimizations/inlining inside the top-level functions that profiler reports to take a lot of time (even if the iteration happens in deeper levels).

You just have to try it and see. I remember it was quite easy in IntelliJ, I believe there's an option to inline all invocations of a function. I just went crazy with that option but did it systematically to really find where the bottleneck is and make a minimal change.
This type and level of conversation exists in the world today.

If you’re not finding it, keep looking.
Seems like jobs boards in the US which imply a preference or prejudice based upon race, color, religion, sex or national origin would be a Title VII violation and subject any employee advertising on such boards to sanctions. Yet you’ll find web sites such as blackjobs.com with fbi.gov as the first post.
Japanese employee to employer relationships are like working in a normal corporate environment however there is no negotiation and the raises are small. The trade-off is their decent salaries and you have stable employment.
That’s about what I hear. The video on the 5DmkII was apparently something they popped in without much thinking. Like, just capture the Live View video and dump it to the card.
> For example, rather than gpg, which is in itself complex, could it use something else?

It's not too bad to set up.

It takes about a minute to generate a gpg key pair minus the time it takes to generate a 4096 bit rsa key.

I made a video (and cheatsheet) the other week going through the process of creating a gpg key pair with an expiration date, how to export / import, revoke and backup your keys at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/creating-and-managing-a-gpg-k....

It's totally worth it, I've been using pass for like 4 years and have hundreds of passwords in it. It works great. Also having a gpg key pair is handy to have around if you want to sign your git commits.
I've fantasised about the vanlife, living the nomad lifestyle out of a van. When looking for build inspiration videos on YouTube, I ended up seeing a lot of vanlife "influencers", but what I notice is many videos just have a few thousand views, which is surely not enough to make a living..
+1 for Lattice C (I had the Atari version). Wrote my first little Midi monitoring program with that one!
The other thing that makes it interesting is getting performance comparable to the fastest Intel/AMD processors as 3Ghz. I expect that AMD will catch up with Apple on performance when they switch to 5nm, but Apple's low clock speed means they're likely to retain the power usage advantage.
Clickbait title. What's claimed to be wrong is the long-held notion that wild wolf packs have a hierarchical structure with an "alpha" at the top. This turns out to have been based mostly on the study of wolves in captivity. I found it interesting nonetheless.
The guy who invented that syntax was J.J. Allaire. Bill Gates passed on his advisors recommendation and didn't buy Allaire because he thought the price was too high. Instead he bought a company in Hawaii building what became ASP.net. However he was quite impressed with J.J.

But years later when J.J. started a second company, it was only a few weeks old when Gates swept in and bought it for millions of dollars.. Shut it down and moved everyone to Seattle.. He immediately assigned J.J. and his team to build a new project called Azure.

Agreed. Genetic modification (outside the lab) has been a mainstay of plant breeding for millennia. And even in a lab environment, it can be a useful and beneficial tool.
Unfortunately, greedy corporations have used this tool to increase profits at the expense of farmers and the general population. And the hippies have reacted to this chicanery with the idea that "all GMO is bad."
But the idea that objecting to corporate misuse of GMO is somehow immoral -- well, you're a right-winger.
>If someone makes a killing, it's because someone lost it

Not true, companies can create value, that value is reflected in the stock price. The economy is not zero sum. Did all the people that got rich off of apple, google, microsoft, nvidia, etc get rich because someone else lost money?
Have you seen people doing drone racing? I think this would be pretty easy for them, and even if it's not reliable you're out $200 and some DIY time. Even if it takes 5 attempts, $1000 is cheap as hell to assassinate someone
> You give up reputability by using PGP/GPG

Signing is optional.
Escaping drastically complicates parsing (though not as much as quoting, thank god). But you seldom need to nest tables within tables. Much more frequently, table values want to contain embedded newlines.
> They rely on the friction between the tire and the road

I don't think the tire is what people mean when they talk about the brakes. They mean the brake pads and other brake components.

> The black box said that "the AP has called the election" -- the Associated Press is not responsible for determining who governs the US.

You don't seem to understand that this is how US elections are always called? The press calls the state when they estimate it's impossible for it to go any other way, and then the electors vote a while later.
Coup-Proofing the Startup
Interestingly for an article with this title it actually does answer the question. The reason why we have this wrong notion of alphas in wolf packs is that it's based on one guy who studied wolves in captivity. Wild wolf packs behave as family units with parents being 'dominant' and offspring leaving to form their own families. There is social dominance involved but it's not simplistic.

Interesting. Almost skipped it for having the sort of title that actually rarely answers 'why'.
I have this audiobook sitting on my virtual shelf waiting to be listened to: 'Breath' by James Nestor. Sounded pretty interesting, might be interesting to you too.

Well it is somewhat convenient to not have to enter a passphrase on initial creation.
Let’s remember however that literally nobody will use the US as an example of a working healthcare system.
I had a boot disk and a spring, because I had the fear to brick my PSX.
I think if Linux really wants to run well on consumer hardware - in other words, not servers - then we’ll have to build the hardware.

No idea how that happens from a business perspective, but Raspberry Pi seems to be a great model.

Perhaps a Pi Pro could be designed that meets some of those needs. The Zero is almost too mobile for a laptop to be usable, but who knows, maybe someone will come up with a unique design around it.

But if we don’t control the hardware, the. It’s always going to be a second or third class citizen on mobile (laptops or tablets).
I believe the term of art that applies here is "Hierarchical Storage Management". Along with automatically moving data between high-cost and low-cost storage media, the low-cost storage media for your filesystem of choice for the kind of compressing you described can simply be fast disk on a compressing filesystem.
Just to be clear I'm opposed to Monsanto as well. I think that Monsanto is likely the company that plans to do some actual evil with GMO. But Monsanto shouldn't be the only face and implementation of GMO. We need way more GMO research right now from a larger number of organizations.

GMO's should be regulated to outlaw things like "plant DRM", but part of that governmental regulation should be active financial encouragement of more GMO research to develop and propagate hardier, more drought and heat tolerant crops so that we still have food as the world faces global warming.

This is why it is a moral issue: the longer we delay and argue about widespread GMO research and propagation the more likely we end up in a world where global warming causes dramatically reduced food availability and variety. The rich will be able to eat food that was grown in climate controlled environments, the poor will either outright starve or adopt a massively simplified and less nutritious diet.

I draw the parallels between anti GMO and anti-vaxxers because in both cases there is a hyper-focus on a few potentially bad outcomes while ignoring the massive upside. Just like anti-vaxxers worry about their kid getting autism or getting a microchip injected into them or getting injected with something harmful, I find a lot of GMO discussions devolve into excessive worry about a few edge cases that either have not happened, rarely happen, or can and should be outlawed.
You're shifting the goal posts from the question of a campaign conspiracy (coordination) to a broader question of inappropriate connections between Trump and Russia.

Further, the purpose of the Mueller report was not to investigate any of these issues. The Mueller investigation was very narrowly focused on whether the Trump campaign conspired (not 'colluded') with Russian entities during the 2017 campaign.

The additional issues you raise were outside of Mueller's remit. Those questions were supposed to be answered by a separate counterintelligence probe conducted by the DoJ. This separate investigation has vanished without a trace[0] and appears to have been killed or suppressed.

Leaving aside the conflict of interest issues inherent in the Trump DoJ investigating Trump, why would this investigation disappear, given how eager Barr would be to exonerate Trump if the outcome of the investigation would give the DoJ the slightest figleaf of justification to do so?

I highly recommend DIY Perks YouTube channel. Check out other videos, like the artificial sun and the DIY projector.
> There is little reason to think a Republican fact checker would contradict Trump. Indeed, any fact checker who did would be ostracized as a RINO, much as has happened with Fox News since they acknowledged the outcome of the vote.

Those two sentences contradict each other. And the second makes my point. When Fox News says that Trump lost, you can probably trust that particular fact-check. ("Confirming testimony from a hostile witness", in law-speak.)
My counter to that is that people mostly don't roll their own, so the defaults matter. Adding more implementations just increases the total amount of complexity going on.

That probably argues for "Deployment shouldn't have been a core object type", and I think k8s folks generally agree on that now, in hindsight. But the idea of generalizing CRDs to the extreme is relatively recent.
The only reason those Linux laptops exist is because thousands of engineers (mostly volunteers but also commercial vendors like RedHat) improved Linux hardware support to the point commerical system integrators like Dell and System76 could select components well-supported by Linux to make the Linux laptops.

Hypothetically if one-day the performance gap between Apple's chips and the rest of the industry cannot be ignored (contrary to Apple's marketing, it's not there yet) then having Linux well-supported will allow third-party vendors to provide on-going Linux support (because the daunting heavy lifting has been completed by marcan).
