Totally agree. The other dimension that folks often overlook is the choice of what to fact-check. Droves of fact checkers that only ever check one side of an argument still present a bias.

They already do extensive road safety studies for speed limits, lights, signs, etc. I believe fatal accidents are required by law to be extensively investigated. The less serious ones usually receive some investigation (they want to cite someone). Most of the time accidents are caused by driver error, such as inattention, not knowing the law, or simply making bad decisions. The laws and road design are usually sufficient if the driver is doing their duties correctly and responsibly.

Headline left out the bit about Apple.

Disclosure forms show that Apple paid Fierce Government Relations, a firm led by former staff aides to Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and President George W. Bush, $90,000 to lobby on issues including Xinjiang-related legislation in the third quarter. ... According to a document viewed by The New York Times, Apple’s suggested edits to the bill included extending some deadlines for compliance, releasing certain information about supply chains to congressional committees rather than to the public, and requiring Chinese entities to be “designated by the United States government” as helping to surveil or detain Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang.

I don't think learning to write blog posts is particularly different from learning to write anything else. To the extent that that is true, I'd refer you to Stephen King's book On Writing[1]. Specifically, one bit of advice from that book (loosely paraphrased) "the best way to learn to write well is to read a lot and write a lot".

The other book I'd recommend is The Pyramid Principle[2] by Barbara Minto.

I imagine that that's a big source for people to download.
Old news. Phase II of:

“Then it sends deputies to find and interrogate anyone whose name appears, often without probable cause, a search warrant or evidence of a specific crime.

They swarm homes in the middle of the night, waking families and embarrassing people in front of their neighbors. They write tickets for missing mailbox numbers and overgrown grass, saddling residents with court dates and fines. They come again and again, making arrests for any reason they can.

One former deputy described the directive like this: “Make their lives miserable until they move or sue.”

One of the silliest examples is I was trying to say that there are no requirements in text fields and all information is accepted no matter how it's formatted and they're like so remove the validation lol
yes and no....

they're saying "does exactly what I need". this poster probably doesn't need all the twists and turns that these tools address. many of us could build our own "tool for X" that does just enough of what we need, but it's almost never remotely suitable for use by anyone else, let alone a growing community.
> We can see that disinformation isn't a necessary feature of democratic debate today, as it is a tactic used overwhelming by Republicans/conservatives, and very little by Democrats/liberals.

I think you have your parties mixed up:

- The Democrats spent 4 years on the fruitless Mueller probe, which had no basis in fact. This was an attempt to deny the authority of an elected President.

- The Biden family is involved in a billion-dollar bribery scandal with the CCP. The only thing the Bidens have that's worth a billion dollars is influence.
The EU is introducing legal laws that will combat planned obsolescence. And that protect the right to repair. The EU is also fed up with manufactures thinking they can get away with everything. Those laws will also have a effect across the world because its easier to design on product that applies to the strictest laws, then two products.

So yea, Apple their gravy train is going to run into a massive road block. In the US states are also starting to rectify laws that push the right to repair.

Its one of the reasons why Apple "suddenly" allows repair shops to buy parts. As a way to change the narrative. Of course that buying parts has "issues" Apple style. A grifter is going to grift.

No, because it is already a unix OS. I imagine this is unpopular in HN, but what matters to me is just running on a good solid unix. I don't really care if it is a unix or Linux. What I want is shell scripting, pipes, forks, make, python, awk, grep, find, du, df, etc... Most anything that doesn't come pre-installed can be built from source. This wasn't true in the early days of OS X, but now the only things I find that don't work (that I care about) are tools that depend directly on devfs or other very Linux specific system APIs.

Unix command line driven tools are a big part of my work and the native OS unix does everything I need it do. It seems a lot of people became committed to Linux coming from Windows with no unix system under the hood. I suspect if Windows had been unix based like Mac OS, Linux would not have become quite so popular. I'm sure avid Linux users will disagree, but for me the unix model command line interaction is what matters. Go easy, I'm not trying to make an argument for one unix over another. Just arguing that the need for a capable unix is already met by the native OS.
“I could totally make a site generator in a couple hours except for the features that are providing me a lot of value” is a really dumb take.

With my blog (https://maxrozen.com) I try break the topic up into as small a piece as possible. In my case since I'm writing about React, I try solve one problem per article. Idea being that I can later go back and combine several smaller articles into a larger body of work.
Yes, I remember when NASA was launching reusable rockets as regular supply missions and weren't using 5% GDP, and did such a great job they didn't end up giving $400MM/year to Russia to hitch rides on the Soyuz for the last decade.

Coinciding with COVID I became interested in retracted scientific articles and their networks (authors, publishers, and citations). I began aggregating article metadata and created a network. retractions.org allows users to search and navigate the network -- and screen lists of DOIs for any connectivity to the network.
I have small children and I try to live and sleep the same style. Which is of course now much harder, but it still somewhat works with taking shifts with the mother.

I still lack sleep though, but I heard this is normal with small kids...
I just noticed the difference between what the manufacturer advertised and what the BIOS provided. Maybe I'll do a write-up of what I did at some point, but it's highly non-portable, and somewhat unsafe. Generally, the BIOS is supposed to allow the amount of video memory taken to be set along with other BIOS options, but there's no option in mine for whatever reason.

I encourage you to investigate the timeline of Hydroxychloroquine. From its scientific support for effective use in the 2003 SARS outbreak. From early tests in China showing positive results it also worked for SARS-CoV-2 when applied early on to mild cases (not to terribly sick pneumatics as a cure). From Trump stupidly talking about things he has no authority to speak on, carelessly misleading public. From how the media started attacking HCQ afterwards as a proxy for Trump bashing. From how a singly shoddy retracted study with possibly faked data, caused all WHO tests to cancel HCQ trials world-wide (when these very trials were designed to test adverse and positive effects, and not part of the shoddy study).

HCQ. Like mask-wearing. Like sensible quarantine methods. Are all incredibly polarized, political, and vague regarding to truths.

But any credible research on HCQ shows its effect or potential, still. And even for the vaccines, we see involvement of politics (Trump would definitely have abused a vaccine release to gain votes), and economic incentives of big pharmas and countries GDP/unemployment, to muddy what is factual and helpful, and what is ill-motivated and cause for suspicion.

I really enjoyed "The Modern World, Part One: Global History from 1760 to 1910" [1] by Philip Zelikow. He clearly put a lot of thought into developing his lectures -- there's also a part two [2] that picks up where the first leaves off.

Do you seriously trust that not to change?

When is driver support coming?

When will audio on Mac's work on Linux?

When will the touchbar drivers be made available?

Apple doesn't give a shit about Linux, but they also don't make it easy to use their hardware.

And to answer the question posed, no, I would never give this company money.
Do you know any awesome project like SQLite that is based on combination of raw-based as well as columnar? Something like Apache Parquet, but textual, instead of binary
Something I'm just not understanding here. Why the obsession of single thread time in 2020?

Give it 2 years and a competitor will beat it, Apple will be behind yet again and the price will be higher than ever.

Some markdown parsers allow you to take a look at the AST.

I used it to replace a code section containing dot code with a png.

or using comments like <!--more--> to generate site Teasers.

My limited understanding of the brain is that programmers are able to put the pieces together by combining their memories and short term memory.

I'm going to start by leaving aside the straw man that he's creating. No mainstream US politician is proposing socialism in the Marxist sense or the authoritarian mold.

That said, raising the floor of wealth doesn't make rich people poor. In fact, it makes a lot of rich people richer (e.g. Jeff Bezos).

There are also ways to give poor people more money without raising anyone's taxes or harming anyone's business model.
Yep, another reason it does that is to spread the risk and limit the need for tons of unchecked (no src/dst check) addresses in your VPC.

In the end there is no ideal scenario; boils down to what works best for the use case (or what is the 'least worst' solution). Sometimes it gets you down, but those imperfections can turn a churn job into an interesting one.
This labels itself small but, honestly, it feels too small. Why would I introduce a dependency that I can implement in 5 minutes from first principles?

The entire implementation essentially lives in atom.ts[0]. Its a class that has an array member and a for loop. It does handle async code for you but, I don't know, I'm not convinced.

I would love to know the intended audience for this package, since its seemingly not me.

Right now, we're moving into the second iteration because the first application was sooo hard to use lol that's on me.

This time, I'm starting with wireframes, then clickable prototype to show the show and then I'll write a spec sheet for like search and upload.

Do you think requirements can be written in plain sentences or should they go by component/user story/functionality/requirement in a spreadsheet?
The author’s annoying clerk analogy completely misses the point. The computer isn't a kitchen, it's the oven. Or the fridge. Those are built to spec and regulation, and if you want to serve others from those you get checkups and clerks all the same.

The feeling was that it is 'your domain', which it isn't as soon as you take part in a larger ecosystem (i.e. networked and vendor-supported with many users and shared services).
And maybe pigs will fly.
Thank you! I will check it out :)
Nothing wrong with writing your own SSG (I recently rolled my own solution for my blog as well), but the most important part of the new solution is glossed over by the author: documentation. What's critical, regardless of the solution you use, is to get a runbook of your software.

By way of example, my hand-rolled blog has a README file which lists these things in it. Whenever you pick up a new SSG or create your own you should make sure that you have a good plan for at least these things:

1. How to start writing a new post. For me, that's the script to fill out the template, plus the instructions to run the dev server.

2. Frontmatter fields supported. If there's too many to list all of them, at least list every one you've used before, since you'll probably use those again.

3. Tools for writing. For me, that's a few scripts to do things like properly import media.

4. Publishing. This is a full checklist including "verify mobile", "verify excerpt on posts page", "run publish/deploy", "submit to these sites".

One of the reasons your personal SSG feels better than anything is because you know every nook and cranny in it. That feeling will go away after about 6 months, and you'll thank yourself for having written good documentation.
Offtopic, but a pet peeve: simplistic doesn't mean "having the qualities of, or relating to, being simple" as many people seem to think, it means something much more negative: "treating complex issues and problems as if they were much simpler than they really are" with the synonyms "facile, superficial, oversimple, oversimplified; shallow, jejune, naive."

Maybe that's intentional, but I'm not sure why someone would want to give their work that kind of connotation.

Boss is constantly making jokes about being up on the socials with his myspace account. Now he's going to have to put his money where his mouth is.
Back in 89 while stationed in Hawaii I worked for a small PC shop whose owner was a HUGE AMIGA FAN. Commodore worked their dealers hard, and just prior to Christmas that year he was required to stack 250 machines in inventory which just about broke the bank.

Meanwhile I was hired to build PC clones for a few hours everyday. While I was there he would argue constantly about the superiority of the Amiga vs. the PC and though I knew he was right (486 PC's had just hit the scene) I would argue right back about the fact the PC's were winning due to the velocity of change in hardware, storage, video, etc.

Anyway we got to the point with it that his wife started yelling at both of us to cut the crap, so not wanting to piss her off since she signed the checks I shut up and let him drone on.

As Christmas approached we were selling PC's 10 to 1 over Amiga's and his anxiety about not moving the Amiga's hit the roof. About a week prior to Christmas I came in one day and started building the PC's on order (about 30+ on order) and he was forced to help me with building them out.

He was pissed, completely off his rocker angry, and started verbally hammering me beyond what I could take. I finally decided enough was enough.

I turned to him and I said "I know one thing the PC can do that the Amiga can't do." And taking the bait like the fish he was, sez to me "Nothing can beat the Amiga". I sez, "There is defintely one thing it does better", and he SHOUTS "WHAT?"

Sez me, "It makes money!" and then I turned to the stack of nearly 200 remaining Amiga's sitting in the shop shelves and pointed at them and laughed long and loud.

He fired me on the spot.

Not exactly on point for this article. But a great story in the timeline of "our thing". I should mention that I did own a Commodore 64 and the Amiga before I switched to the PC. I loved them both and if it wasn't for the C-64 assembler module I would not have built the companies I created years later. The 6502C was the best learning chip ever!

Book Pressure Using Active and Passive Orders
From my math undergrad, I feel like generally there are two feelings on this kind of thing:

- No practical application is needed, since studying math is an end in itself

- If there is a practical application, it should be fairly obvious and the author should not have to stoop to the level of trying to enumerate them

I'm not saying I agree, but I think there is part of the math community that doesn't care to enumerate practical applications. Expecting this kind of thing from this area of research may be an uphill battle.
I don't know.

If this were a real product and not a joke, the marketing team would suggest putting sex jokes on the homepage, and probably debate which sex joke would get the the most laughs, and why.

They might even end up doing surveys to find out if our sex jokes are too raunchy, or just right.

If I worked there, and had to listen to a bunch of guys laughing about sex jokes all day, I'd probably feel awkward and left out---even if none of those jokes were directed at me, and only were said in the context of making customers laugh.

Disclaimer: I have worked at companies that sold sex toys, and no one made any sex jokes at work, or in our marketing material.
Sometimes I wish I could just use WordPress as a static site generator off of a docker machine that turns on on login and off at log off. Nobody wants to deal with slow and insecure always-on WordPress sites.

I know that there are some websites that take care of this… for money. Unfortunately $20/month is not in the budget for one-off sites.
> I would expect a $4,000 camera to be able to do 8k reliably...

It already is reliable for it's stated goals. Unlimited 8k recording is neither a stated feature nor a goal of this camera. If you peg a smartphone CPU at 100% the system firmware will throttle it down to a safe limit. This is no different. The R5 is a tiny full-frame weather-sealed camera that's designed to be hand held. Which other camera that is comparable does things better?

This gets directly to my main question each time I see geometric algebra show up: how does it fit in with the "normal" notation of differential geometry? What assumptions does it make for a metric, what is the equivalent of parallel transport, Lie brackets, how does it represent gradients (and other things that are naturally 1-forms), etc., etc.?

All the treatments I've seen jump in to manipulation without really going in to the axioms used. That paper seems to do a lot better at fitting it together, so I'll certainly read it, thanks.
Same. Only reason I even look at OSX is because of the terminal/BASH and how easy that makes programming-related work. For everything else, I think windows is way better.

I didn't mean to imply it was Apple's fault Windows did not run on M1 (in fact it has been shown that Windows ARM64 does run natively on M1 albeit through a patched QEMU due to lack of driver support), but by designing a custom SoC they have abandoned the approach which would afford them the most compatibility (staying with x86). This may have been the right direction for them, but it's not the same approach as before and definitely abandons compatibility in favor of better performance.

Second while Gatekeeper has been around for 8+ years, the default of contacting an Apple server on every program launch was new (or so I thought) with Big Sur. It's a step towards that direction. People could not launch apps when this server was down.
Unlike some other commenters, I think that from-scratch rewrites can be valuable. But seriously consider other potential benefits. "Julia might be nicer than Rust" is not good enough if sole justification.
WSL1 is _not_ deprecated. it is just recommended you use WSL2 since theres a wide range of incompatibilities in WSL1 with various Linux tools. However if all you need is a basic toolchain in some ways it’s superior to WSL2 because it doesn’t require a VM.
Ask HN: Why did your company join The Linux Foundation?
For what reasons do companies become members of The Linux Foundation?

I’m trying to understand why a company executive might decide it’s worth becoming a corporate member of The Linux Foundation. I’m curious if anyone has experience taking their company through this decision and can recommend rationale that was well received.

I assume executives care about: (1) how Linux affects products/operations, (2) shaping industry standards, (3) recruiting talent. What other factors are typically considered?
