I'll take the liberty to share some notes from unscientific sources, because I find the official sources plain boring.

A civilization is generally started by great people that put grand ideals into its foundation. A sign of such founders is their borderline unbelievable holiness, that makes them a legend. During its lifespan, great minds get replaced by small minds. The typical lifespan is about a million years, but maybe this time things move a lot quicker. The latter are attracted not to the ideals, but to the earthly things, such as shiny metals and power over others. I believe we are here now. In all cases, such people eventually discover the secret of black magic (I know, many would cough here) and the dark age begins. A sign of that phase is cyclopic brutalistic architecture that worships human body (that's an important detail). We've had a glimpse into that already: nazism. We seem to be moving rapidly in that direction: powerful dictatorships are plenty, while democracies are few. Another sign of that phase is abandoning liberty and reason, because the evil (the dark side of every human) has neither, and embracing chaos and fatalism. Example: the idea that voting doesn't matter, whether it's technically true or not. The terminal stage of every big civilization is a collapse into a sort of a black hole: people are paralyzed by fear and hate, the dominating ideology is a dark cult. There's no coming back from that stage, as that kind of dark cult has real power. At this point, the civilization always gets an external "help" that wipes everything out, so the few survivors could start it over, but now at the next level.
If they can kill a class of people without review, then it doesn't actually matter if state secrets are involved. The government can claim that there are state secrets whenever they feel like it if there isn't review.

So really, this says that the US can kill its own citizens without review full stop.
that implies that electricity is unfairly undertaxed.

solution is to tax electricity not 1 of the uses of electricity?
For US citizens who are accused of doing that? It absolutely has been, historically. This is especially important in those cases where the accusation is not well-founded, or where the jury would find that the circumstance warrants a lesser penalty than death.
I know this is an unpopular opinion and I'm willing to sacrifice karma for saying this, but I see it the same way to with pro-choice people too. If they're willing to kill off their unborn because they're unwanted, how far do you really think they'll go for you? But it goes beyond that. It's not like pro-lifers are complete angels either. All humanity in general just kind of sucks, tbh. And I know that includes me.

They're serviced by multiple nodes and have very strong backup policies.

At rhythm and Hues, you could request footage all the way back from the founding of the studio for example.

CG work is fairly IO intensive for tasks like rendering where you're reading hundreds or even thousands of geometry caches per frame. But for other things, your IO isn't as frequent since it's not about constant r/w as there are long computational or artist time between saves and reads.
Design flaws of password managers
The average American knows 600 people. This isn't a workable standard for any but the tiniest towns. I also question whether there's much chance of learning who made decisions that affected me personally other than through the media. I lived in a 10,000 person town from 2000 to 2015 and I was completely in the dark about any layer of government except when the mayor got caught drunk driving.
In theory, yes, but similar amounts of inflows to bitcoin/gold will result in different performances since the market cap of bitcoin is so much smaller (supposedly the circulating supply is ~4 million bitcoin, so functionally ~120 billion USD float currently, versus multi-trillion for gold).
This should be quite glaring in any performance metrics collected though, shouldn't it?

I mean, I don't do web stuff (yet) but I can't imagine it's that difficult to figure out where several seconds get spent.

I have questions about the code. Why do you need to say int('0x1', 16) and int('0x2', 16)? Why not just write 0x1 and 0x2? Or just plain 1 and 2?

I'm also perplexed by the goal as this seems to just call zipfile.write under the hood, which already streams to a zip file without accumulating a memory buffer?

I do something similar with a sticky note. I divide it into four quadrants of Eisenhower Matrix and fill in the work appropriately.

While I'm working if something comes to my mind, I used the hotkey for my todo list app and add it to my bullshit box list. This will take some discipline but it's very effective. Sometimes later on I realize the task that I added is not really necessary and was a complete distraction so I delete it.
Yup. Bear in mind that the gas stations in the US tend towards the mind-bogglingly huge. 12 pumps across the street from 16 pumps is a common sight. (Speaking as a Canadian who used to cross the border a lot when business travel was a thing.)
For sure! I remember building this design into a PCB and watching the brains of the inexperienced engineers explode! If you use high/low/input, you can even divide up the input using resistors to get even more input states.
Presumably the lack of any contextualizing verbage. Like zero effort to connect the evidence presented with the assertion.

Notably the evidence presented has plain gaps. Consider the second link: "Goldstein's attorneys were unable to argue for protection under the First Amendment because the Supreme Court had ruled in 1915 that movies lacked such protection. (That ruling was overturned in 1952.)" That final parenthetical is critical because it suggests that a modern court would not rule the same way the court did in 1915 given similar facts.

To be clear, I don't have enough context to evaluate the merits of the statement in full just noting why it may have come across as glib and hence downvoted.
SQLite has write locking, it's not going to happen. And you're only reading anyway...
Treason is defined in the Constitution (and in statute law) in a way that precludes conviction for treason except upon confession in open court, or on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act. Treason can't be proved merely by the executive branch deciding you've committed it. The loss of citizenship would only happen upon conviction by a court martial or by a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the statute.

Additionally, technically there are two other requirements before committing treason causes a loss of citizenship, just as with all the other potentially expatriating acts: the treason must be committed voluntarily and with the intent to relinquish citizenship, as judged on a preponderance of the evidence standard (i.e. more likely than not). This is a court proceeding and the claimed loss of citizenship can be challenged, though of course those requirements are more likely to be satisfied in treason cases than in some of the other potentially expatriating acts.

None of this is consistent with a unilateral military strike.
Somewhere down tonight's ternary rabbit hole I found this wonderful Scientific American article, Third Base[0]:

The Jewel in the Triple Crown

“Perhaps the prettiest number system of all,” writes Donald E. Knuth in The Art of Computer Programming, “is the balanced ternary notation.” As in ordinary ternary numbers, the digits of a balanced ternary numeral are coefficients of powers of 3, but instead of coming from the set {0, 1, 2}, the digits are –1, 0 and 1. They are “balanced” because they are arranged symmetrically about zero. For notational convenience the negative digits are usually written with a vinculum, or overbar, instead of a prefixed minus sign.

I never used a popular browser to read tweets in the past. I was using mobile.twitter.com leading up to this change; this is no longer possible. AFAICT what has changed is that they are requiring an "approved" user-agent string. Someone here on HN tried Googlebot and it worked. I just tested it and it is still working. There are other strings that work. You definitely do not need javascript to read Twitter.
Reading his Wikipedia, it seems he was guilty of hate speech against the country, and his connection with committers of violence was through writing and "inspiring".

If that's treason, then I suppose a future leftist Castro-esque president should be free to drone-murder hate speech mongers like Rush Limbaugh and many in the Fox News commentary department.

America likes to talk about respecting democracy and the rule of law, but the way it acts is nowhere near that.
In my experience it depends on the type of data, though never have I seen it do better or worse than a negligible amount (on real world data, I'm sure you could find the type it's better at and exploit that).
Nobody can do everything at once. At some point staffing and training becomes a bottleneck.

"Nuclear arsenal" doesn't typically evoke images of power generating nuclear reactors, but instead the nuclear warheads.
There is no need for the A-10, or any other weapon system, to be used all by itself.

In hostile airspace, the EA-18G Growler brings the AGM-88 HARM, assuming those modern air-defense emplacements haven't already been hit by cruise missiles.

Plans for war get ruined upon contact with the enemy. Pessimists will assume that friendly plans get ruined, while optimists will assume that enemy plans get ruined. Asset diversity helps everything except logistics. Success or failure of a reasonable weapon system (the A-10, not knights on horseback) is far from certain. All sorts of unexpected factors come into play.
So much of a misleading title.
If a US citizen is entering the war zone, in their own volition what do they expect? Stop the war because there is a US citizen there ?
If you are a reporter, your chances of getting killed in a battle by a stray bullet is much biggger than getting hit by a coordinated US attack. And if you do not want to take that risk, get the hell out.
And you want US to disclose the military attack plans because of your recklessness. Well, I am sorry for you but you have to bear the consequences of your own decisions. Nobody will cater to your pompous ass claims.

When in the last 30 years did the US Congress declare an act of war?
After reading Obama's recent biography, it comes to be that Obama saw that as a push for him to be able to achieve results that merits the medal.

Then after a series of complicated political decision making, he started more. And there are always perfect legitimate reasons, as judging from Obama's perspective and described in the book, that make those things happen.

After a while reading the book, I started to see how futile it has been for US to truly behave as the nation aspires to. Without a equal counter weight, there seems no possibility for the nation's political machine to follow common sense, it's always enemy or ally, and dealing with enemy always involves military power.
Interesting! Can you help me understand why this doesn't work for me?

Not necessarily. If the address lookup is making a wrong inference from correct data, then there wouldn't be anything to fix in the data.
The requirement in the statute isn't just that he committed treason, actually. The loss of citizenship from committing treason doesn't actually occur until the conviction for treason. And conviction for treason is both statutorily and constitutionally impossible unless you have two witnesses testify to the commission of the same overt act, or unlesss you have a confession in open court. This was a very intentional protection by the founding fathers based on prior abuses of treason laws in England.

So, even if he absolutely did commit treason, he is a citizen unless the prosecution both occurs and achieves all of that. Citizens deserve due process, period, since government conclusions and criminal charges can both be wrong, and loss of life is a very severe thing to make a mistake about.

It's not clear to me whether your point is intended sarcastically, but for those who don't know, the Roman Empire was incredibly diverse throughout all of its history. Rome itself was a cosmopolitan urban center for centuries. Even after the split and collapse of the WRE, the east remained hugely diverse.

Oh I'm not prickly, ha -- where ever did you get that idea? I'm touched by your concern for me -- it's quite sweet -- but it's really not necessary. And I'm not at all concerned about "exposing" my lifestyle, what a hoot!

Do you have a "citation" for the average person? If not, then I really don't know what you're arguing about.
"In a speech to Roman nobles, the Emperor expressed his pressing concern over the low birthrates of the Romans elite. He said that freed slaves had been granted citizenship and Roman allies given seats government to increase the power and prosperity of Rome, yet the "original stock" was not replacing themselves, leaving the task to foreigners.[66] Roman poet Ovid shared the same observation."

Well well. It's truly remarkable to see how our current laws and religious texts have roots in history.
I think our collapse began before Trump with the advent of Machine learning. ML was then hitched to advertising and click generation. Now individuals entire view of the world are shaped by algorithms designed to keep you clicking so they feed you to an echo chamber. This is the reason for the massive chasms between the 2 political sides, Brad Parscales was just able to harness that power for Trump.

If you step back and think about how almost everything you see on the internet is designed to keep you coming back for more and the way it can shape peoples world view, it is quite terrifying.
For the past couple of months I have been taking 5000IU daily of Vitamin D. Will get my levels checked here in a week or so with my annual physical and will know how my body is handling this dosing.

> No, the logic is that the US government may target enemies in war by all the means lawful against enemies inwar, even if those enemies are US citizens, anywhere in the world, including within the US.

> And there's plenty of precedent for that.

There is clearly precedent for criminally charging US citizens for such things, or in the case where they're either subject to the UCMJ or otherwise acting as a lawful uniformed combatant, maybe a court martial.

But what is the precedent for allowing unilateral lethal military targeting of known US citizens outside the US, or anyone within the US, outside of moments when the accused is actively engaging in physical violent warfare? I'm not aware of any before 9/11.
> When tech debt sand gets in the software delivery gears, the allure of vendors increases

Well put. Could not have said this better myself. I've experienced situations where the tech debt sand is a consequence of fairly unique business and internal system constraints. The allure of vendors did increase and the company did eventually research vendors, but nothing addressed our snowflake use cases perfectly.

I don't think that's necessarily a positive reflection on our product though. If anything, the lesson I take from that is to build your business processes and teams to reduce as much accidental complexity as possible.
> If the US Federal Government decided to bomb San Francisco, I'm not sure who exactly would be able to render the consequences.

true, but only vacuously so. the "US Federal Government" is not some monolithic entity with a single will. it is made up of many organizations, factions, and individuals with their own motivations. if a military official ordered the bombing of san francisco, their subordinates may simply disobey them. if the orders were actually carried out, there would likely be other parts of the government that would find it politically expedient to hold those responsible to account. they may or may not be able to direct the use of force to do so.

the government can only take extreme actions when some level of internal consensus (or at least apathy) exists, as in the case of the MOVE bombing.

1. They’re easy to conceptualize. When you tell people you built an app for note-taking, they know what you mean.

2. They’re easy to build. Getting from 90%~100% isn’t much harder than getting from 80%~90%, unless almost all real-world apps.

3. Everybody has an opinion about a tweak to the general formula that would make a better to-do app (for them personally).

4. They’ve seen others do it.
Show HN: I built a .NET Core framework and need help
Hey All,

I built an open-source .NET Core framework to try and make my job easier when it comes to building REST APIs off of existing databases. I'm looking for tips on how to properly document it, as well as ways to improve the class structure. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
I appreciate that all the graphs so far a si saw used (Smaller is better) helpful.

Code is like a performance by musicians. They play together typically based on a plan known as "score".

But when they play a piece for the first time the performance is typically much lacking. They have to rehearse the symphony or rock-opera or whatever.

Removing technical debt is like playing the song again, this time better. You learn what works what not and can do it better. The challenge is how to know the code-performance is good enough.

Also, you may have a job where none of your responsibilities are unique to you, but that's not often the case outside of some types of shift work.

in that environment how do you take a vacation? sure a planned downtime is easier than an unplanned one but the process is the same.

in a programming team other team members pick up tasks.

if my assistant is away, i may have to do some things myself.

if i am sick, my customers will just have to wait. if i set my deadlines to short, not giving any buffer time, it's my fault.

yes, there may be catch up type work, but usually i am not compelled to work overtime, which is how kids catch up time looks like.

they are forced to catch up on their own time, not in class and they are not given a choice.
The Roadmap to Changelogs
> Your typical tech worker will tend to be neoliberal, espousing socially liberal values but having much to lose economically and practically from touching the existing power balance or decreasing inequality in any meaningful way.

You say this, yet the overwhelming majority of tech workers - especially those at FAANG companies, as per the donation data - choose to find the party that favors increased taxation, regulation, and government spending. At Netflix 98% of political contributions went to democrats. This is a staggering disparity. How you manage to conclude that this is indicative of neoliberal views (decrease public spending and regulation, less taxes) is a puzzle to me. Again, this seems to be an attempt to categorize tech workers as conservative by categorizing views common to both conservatives and liberals (e.g. preferring a capitalist economy over a command economy) as conservative.
