As other commenters said, the Bose headphones leave a ton of room for improvement. Trying to get them on the correct bluetooth device is something I have to fiddle with every single day. I will gladly pay an extra $200 for something that works more reliably.

But I worry that the "just works" will only kick in for a complete apple ecosystem. I have a bunch of issues with my airpods + Android, that iphone users don't seem to have, for example.
TL;DR - Instead of countering a COVID outbreak (24 confirmed cases out of 90 patients is an 'institution down' type of scenario) a doctor and a trainee studied meme proliferation. Note this was in the spring.
Correct. Lawyers are not allowed to raise an argument that is known to them to be false. If a lawyer is told by their client that they did it, the only defence that they can legitimately raise is if there were some mitigating circumstance.

The "et al" being Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan.

Of course it was written by a marketing department. They're a $3B public company with 3,400 employees. And you're proposing they faked a security breach and lied to the FBI so they could get media attention? Please be joking.
In this case the client isn't sending traffic on port 53 at all — they already have the IP for the target server and so they just open a connection to it on port 443.

This is not hypothetical: it's how DoH works now but it's also how various things have worked for decades. Malware liked it for hiding command-and-control name queries from the few people who monitor DNS but it was also an option for anyone who had problems with buggy or malicious local DNS servers to add public resolvers like 8.8.8.8 or their own infrastructure into the search list so they didn't get support calls due to some ISP breaking their own DNS server.

The key part is remembering that this was always possible. DoH just meant that more people became aware of the gap they'd always had in their network management.

This is not just about "text extraction", my whole point was that an alt text is not enough. An SVG document has a DOM and a navigatable accessibility tree just like HTML documents (including ARIA attributes etc). There is more that happens for sighted users too - text becomes selectable in the SVG, links are clickable, etc. All that probably needs the context of a browsing context and DOM created in an <iframe> or <object> and not in an <img> and is specced in detail. I really don't blame browsers for implementing the spec.
In the pre-internet days your ability to propagate stuff depended on your credentials. With appropriate credentials you could speak on radio, TV or publish a story in a newspaper. With the internet and social media your ability to propagate stuff (and go "viral") depends on your story (even if not truthful) not on your credentials. This is the reason why almost half the population now believes in and acts on conspiracy theories. We need to bring back the world where how far your story propagates (or how powerful the weapon you can own) depends on your credentials.
This country sure has a lot of "tragic lone mental health cases".

Hey, if we really work at it, I'm sure we can make it impossible for anyone to use the Web without sending all of their information to an untrusted third party who has every incentive to violate your privacy, but won't, because they say they won't.

Indeed. We should have gone a lot further down this slippery slope by now.
I have a Jabra Elite headset which is what I figured you were referring to and I think you're stretching it to say that it's seamless. I can't get it to connect to my computer and phone without having the app installed and, even then, the sound quality was garbage until I updated the firmware on the set. I don't see how you can think that the Jabra is more seamless unless you only use 2 devices and don't use the Airpods with iCloud. My Airpods switch from my phone, computer, iPad, and Apple TV so seamlessly that I "donated" my the Elite to my wife for work. She has to answer phones for her job and even she thinks the audio quality on the Elite is bad compared to her Airpods but she finds the headset more comfortable than the Airpods.
An openly misogynistic lawyer who is believed to have killed the son of a female federal judge in New Jersey had a list of more than a dozen other possible targets, including three other judges and two doctors, three people with knowledge of the matter said. ...

While his precise motive for making the list remains unclear, Mr. Den Hollander had received a terminal cancer diagnosis, and F.B.I. agents earlier this week were exploring whether that news set him off on a mission of revenge against those he believed were his enemies.

... Mr. Den Hollander described himself as an anti-feminist and had made a career out of filing lawsuits, some of them frivolous, alleging discrimination against men. He also published blog posts in 2006 arguing women were inferior to men and advocating physical violence against them. In one post, he said women should be strapped to missiles and dropped in the Middle East.

but that's untrue.

take this for example: https://www.paloaltoonline.com/square/2020/11/27/sobrato-pit... : 85 new townhomes. you could live in palo alto too and own a property. but if you want the four million dollar bungalow at a price that you can afford(or want to penalise those who own it by slapping more taxes on them to punish them for their ownership) or forcing high density in affluent low density zipcodes, then it's not about you and your needs...but about how you feel towards them and what they have.

that's the difference between wanting their bike and sharing the roads with everyone. and wanting to strip an old valuable bike for parts to be sold so many cheaper bikes can be bought.
What are your opinions on SVG Animation vs CSS?
You can't teach a sneetch!
I think you're mostly correct about the { acyclic } pragma, except that the "Otherwise without" part needs a provisio "if static type analysis doesn't prove that objects of the type cannot participate in cycles".

I've worked on a system that used a collector based on that Bacon and Arjan paper linked in the article. It's a very interesting paper. It has something like seven colors as opposed to the classic three color collector.

One of the colors is for objects where static type analysis shows that cycles can't exist: ClassA has references to only objects of ClassB and ClassC, ClassC has references to only objects of ClassD, and classes B and D don't contain any references, so objects of any of these classes can't participate in cycles and are acyclic types. If ClassD had references to objects of type ClassA, then there would be a possibility of cycles. Note that tree structures are very common, and static type analysis (without linear/affine types) cannot rule out cycles in recursive data structures such as trees.

Edit: a quick search appears to show Nim has at least some limited support for affine types in its type system, so trees might be a bad example of where { acyclic } is helpful.

Presumably, the { acyclic } pragma is an escape hatch for these cases where the human knows some invariant that isn't visible from just type analysis. As you allude, the GC algorithm is still correct without this information, just less efficient.

I also agree that it looks like they run a variant of the GC algorithm when passing a reference between threads: run a variant of the algorithm that doesn't actually free unreachable objects and pretend to decrement the reference count on the passed object. If the GC algorithm shows that all objects reachable through the passed object would have been GC'd had you decremented its reference count, then it's safe to pass the reference between threads.

On a side note, my use case of a Bacon-Arjan type collector was in a codebase for a domain-specific language with a functional-reactive programming model. We actually used the GC for pruning dependency graphs, to remove nodes that didn't produce externally visible effects. Someone somewhere in a big C++ codebase for the DSL interpreter missed incrementing a reference count, resulting in live nodes being pruned from the graph under rare circumstances. We put a lot of effort into trying to find the missing refcount increment, but ended up ripping out the Bacon-Arjan collector and going with a dead simple mark-and-sweep. We only needed to run the GC in the rare occasions that the graph topology changed, so the performance difference wasn't very noticeable.
The big difference between OS X/macOS and Windows is that when Apple restyle the UI, they make sure even the oldest apps get the new styles, though maybe not a full makeover. Microsoft on the other hand don't seem to want to do this? Even if they can't update third-party apps, why do they give so little attention to the built-in stuff? There's still the odd dialog straight out of Windows 3.1 in there even.

I once read an article about a guy who repeatedly managed to sneak into places at sporting events he shouldn't be: Down on the field to celebrate with the players that just won the championship, onto the press or VIP-suite level, even into locker rooms. He basically just did what you describe above.
The thing is, Red Hat never considered the distro more than a side effect of providing a base for developing "things" that will run on RHEL. It's even written on the centos.org home page, the distro is not why CentOS existed in 2020. So the fact that users (including myself!!) enjoyed a free distro as a result was not a part of Red Hat's RHEL strategy in any way.

It’s in the works! Lots and lots of community interest. Working out the details of governance, code hosting, etc., so that one commercial entity isn’t the sole controller of what comes next. Email me (in bio) if you want looped-in.
I think you've nailed it. I also made this observation. So many time I'll be talking to another dev about macOS v. linux for example, and they'll say something like, "I don't want to have to compile my kernel" or they'll describe something that makes it clear they haven't tried any Linux distro in a long time. I'll usually ask, "when was the last time you tried it?" and at that point they'll usually realize what they're doing and say something like, "It's been probably 15 years, maybe things are better now?"

Yes, things are better. If I compared the first iPhone to an Pixel 4, the iPhone isn't going to compare nicely. It's always worth making sure you are comparing apples to apples (no pun intended ;-))

More likely than...? It would really help understand what you're thinking if you'd finish the sentence.

And I hope you aren't thinking "your average person". If we passed a law to address median risk disparities in all the places we could, essentially everything that isn't mandatory would be forbidden.

On the other hand, dnf/yum downloads repos and packages in parallel while zypper still does everything one at a time, which means every kilobyte-sized package takes a second or two each to download, from setting up and tearing down a new TCP connection each time. It's especially annoying in Tumbleweed because rolling distro == lots of tiny packages updates all the time.
Garlic releases black garlic
I should have said "at least until" rather than "until", sorry. It's from a result that predates the paper, due to Fisher (using butterflies, not code bugs).

The actual guarantee from the result is not that the number of unobserved "species" is small, but that the total population of all unobserved species is small. If you go back to the birds example, then you could say something like "at most 0.1% of all birds are from species that we haven't identified" but maybe those 0.1% of birds are from a million different species each with incredibly tiny populations. In the code bug example, the very rare species would be the bugs that are very unlikely to be found, i.e. it's more about estimating how many more bugs you will find if you continue to analyze it than how many are really there.
what? judges pass laws in their own best interest? shocking. next you're going to tell me lawmakers pass laws that only benefit them.
Question should be "even with C++17?". Cmake has had moc and uic support for years now. The question is why they don't leverage the c++17 features to get rid of moc, ffs.
Interestingly, Scala 3 is adding union types as well as explicit `null`s:

https://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/other-new-features/expl...

I think that the expectation is that idiomatic Scala code will mostly still use `Option`, while `null` will be used for interoperability with Java, JavaScript or Scala libraries that happen to use `null`.

In any case, I am very much looking forward to these additions.
I don't understand what this comment has to do with the article. The author doesn't discuss reforming firearm laws. She is trying to get support for a new law that increases privacy guarantees for judges. What exactly is she unable to understand?
Yup. Thankfully in a criminal investigation, the burden of proof for "intent" is typically on the prosecutor. I'd rather give the prosecutor a harder time than a defendant.
Better let the police remove their name tags and hide behind qualified immunity too then.

For their protection, and the stability and security of our society.

>Every single one of these articles always mentions "nation-state actors" to imply that only a nation-state with billions of dollars and thousands of people can pull off such a "sophisticated" "novel" attack.

While this is true for e.g., Equifax (see https://ciexinc.com/blog/quick-assessment-of-a-companys-secu...), if FireEye (aka Mandiant) says it, I tend to believe it to be quite true.

I would expect that hacking them would be far from easy.
You can still cache an SVG embedded through <iframe> the same way you cache an SVG embedded through <img>. It's just an HTTP exchange. The sandbox attribute and a CSP can make sure no external content is loaded inside the SVG either (not even external images, fonts etc).
I honestly wasn't going for a one-liner joke, I really do find the SFO gate this way when walking towards it.

Being HN, I figured I'd explicitly spell it out. On Twitter you'd be right.
I really don't understand the glorification of no-js websites on HN. Like, I'd get it if it was Flash or something ('cause that definitely has some real accessibility issues, and required a plugin to be installed), but the web platform is HTML, CSS and JS. Why artificially limit yourself to just two? It seems to have become a matter of pride to say "works without JS", for absolutely no practical reason (it's not like removing JS is some silver bullet for accessibility, no-js sites can and do still absolutely have problems with accessibility)
Yikes! The race essentialism in liberal circles is shocking.

Is there a way to combat racism without making it seem like all these groups are homogeneous, helpless and require this predictable belittling kids gloves treatment to advance?

Even on a qualitative level, reading this stuff, you're struck by the incredibly dogmatic and scripted language.

Your username is so incredibly relevant here that I had to check if this was a novelty account.
Just because the parent's example of in-browser OCR involves a SaaS API, doesn't mean in-browser OCR inherently has to involve a SaaS API. OCR runs just as well on your own computer. Heck, phones could run the original realtime WordLens software just fine, and that was 10 years ago.

(Offline) OCR models should really be everywhere now, just like offline speech-to-text models are. It's kind of surprising that it's not just "a thing" built into every OS.

Bingo. They have a very distinctive look. You buy these and people can tell from across the street that you’re wearing “those $500 apple headphones”.

If you think of apple as a tech company, their products seem absurdly priced. If you think of apple as a company that makes luxury goods that happen to be powered by computers, they make perfect sense.
You can use them as Bluetooth headphones or via the Lightning-to-3.5mm cable.

I doubt anyone will buy any of the Apple audio products specifically for non-ecosystem devices. My guess is more folks decide to leave the ecosystem and end up using them elsewhere down the road.
Ordinarily and historically, I'd fully agree, but the antigun refrain of "lol you're going to fire your AR-15s at drones and tanks and A-10 Warthogs?" does have some degree of merit. 2A was written when citizens were not robbed of ~7% of their earnings to fund a standing military machine.

In the modern era, any effective resistance to tyranny is - UNFORTUNATELY - going to be asymmetric, guerrilla, and dirty. Which - again, UNFORTUNATELY - is going to involve morally ambiguous activity.
£200, divided by £0.0045 (rough conversion or payouts) is 44444 streams a year. 44444 is an exceptional small audience. Even if you 10x the payouts, they would still on make £2000 a year, and the complaints would still be there, 80% of artist are making less than £2000 a year narrative.

The Nadine Shah mentioned in the article, has 5 recording labels, I would say at least one manager, pr manager, marketing manager, producer etc etc. Of course she is finding it difficult. The majority of artists in any field do, in fact a lot of people find it difficult, athletes, musicians, painters, etc, the majority being from the creative or talent side of the fence.

80% of artists probably have extremely low streams per month, and maybe even 0. 80% of 80% make music which 80% don't listen to and make 80% of basically nothing.

If you turn your art in a commodity, then you get paid for its market value. Currently 80% of musicians aren't worth £200.

I see your point. "First class" is loaded, but I don't this is just about risk. That's evident in the content of the law and in both judge Salas' explanation for it.

"The federal government has a responsibility to protect all federal judges because our safety is foundational to our great democracy"

Indeed it is. It's not just about likelihood of an attack occurring. It's about potential consequences. Killing judges is destabilizing... both directly and via reaction. They are an actually weakening to the governing system as a whole.

We do actually have totally separate ways of protecting elected officials, including unique laws. They are, essentially, "first class citizens." It's because attacks are likely and because the consequences of such attacks are dangerous.

That said, I sympathize with the OP. Separate laws for the specific protection of certain classes of citizens is well... also relevant to the foundations of democracies. Why can't these protections^ be extended to everyone?

It depends wildly on what the category of item is. Clothes are probably going to a big return to store once things reopen, since fits can be all over the place between or even within stores. (Yes, online experiences offer relatively hassle free returns, but I still consider waiting for a few days only to get something with poor fit or cheap and then waiting for it to be received at returns more painful than just trying on clothes in person.)
