I did agree with this sentiment for a long time but I have seen a shift towards failing to challenge conservative policies.
I'm also quite critical of the number of Conservative members that have been made controller. There is a bit too much of revolving door between tory communications and BBC at the minute.
How many times do you need to tap the screen to accomplish that on mobile?
But this is incorrect answer. The kids had to be there before 7.30 or they will be hungry. Latest time non starving kid can be there is 7.30 not 9am.

It is "oh btw classes start at 9 but your kid have to be before 7.30".

There are two possible latest times and it really cannot be answered until we know if kid ate or not. Is it possible to bring non fed kid at 9, sure but it's not right. This is poorly stated question for a comprehension test.

Because it is not stated whether kid is fed or not, therefore latest possible time is 7.30

KidFed Arrival Outcome
True 7.30 Good
False 7.30 Good
True 9.00 Good
False 9.00 Bad

9.00 is only time with possible bad outcome.

My point is that it is very poorly specified test and that's causing poor results.
Im sure thats true. We had it the same way in Denmark, but have now changed it, to be payed for by taxes.. this had made it very political, and the budget is now decided by whatever party is in control, and the national tv/radio is becoming more and more of a coward because of it..
What's with this tendency to stick a binary label on every controversial issue? There are peer-reviewed valid concerns about these vaccines. Are the authors lumped into the anti-vaxxers category?

Regularly watching BBC World I've yet to see the both-sideism you describe. As if on the same level? Well in relation to another bete noir, you'll likely get to see an interview with Greta T. (zero academic qualifications) while waiting interminably to hear any (usually edited) counter-position from (for instance, there are many others) Richard Lindzen (with around 200 peer-reviewed papers in atmospheric climatology, MIT emeritus professor) or Judith Curry (https://curry.eas.gatech.edu/currycv.html).
For a laugh and good demonstration of this point, check out the replies Laura Kuennsberg gets to any vaguely controversial tweet.

Usually a solid amount accusing her of towing the party line, being friends with Boris, Tory mouthpiece etc then another bunch accusing her of being an example of how the BBC is full of leftie communists who want to reverse brexit. Both equally vitriolic.

The way she draws the hate from both sides is impressive.

The german state TV is independent, neutral and does very good journalistic job. I don't know how on earth they could be criticised to be a propaganda outlet for the state. I personally know someone who works for the journalistic side of the state TV and I can assure you that he has all the journalistic freedom he needs.

That being said, i fell like the state TV is the opposite. Only neutral news, facts without much of an opinion. For me it's not enough to follow the news since I can't be an expert in everything. I need voices from a certain my political spectrum that write what they feel about laws and processes. Environmental activists commenting environmental laws etc. Thats why I read the newspaper additionally. It's certainly not unbiased, but still independent.
Turkey’s position is that they need to have control over the news, the press, and other communication channels, the better to strangle dissent and effect purges.

In Europe, 0-based indexing is used for describing the floor number, e.g the first floor is one floor above ground level. Americans may find this unnatural, but it’s perfectly normal to Europeans because they’ve grown used to the convention. It’s the same for programming languages. The vast majority of programmers have gotten used to a specific convention and it will probably stay that way until there is a compelling reason to change.
As far as I understand, the earlier EU right-to-be-forgotten laws have been replaced by the GDPR and the right-to-erasure in it.

You are correct that right to be forgotten does not outweigh you right to remember and share what you remember with others. The law does not restrict this right - GDPR, including that clause, does not apply to private persons personal activity.

However, that right is more narrow than you imply. First, you personally have the right to share your memories with others, but companies and businesses do not have such a right. Second, you do not have a right to have your content indexed by a search engine - your right to talk about these things in everyday outweighs the other persons right to privacy, but their right to privacy outweighs your privilege to publish your memories in mass media. Yes, you would be effectively deplatformed, but that does not violate your right to speak about this - the right to privacy is a fundamental human right, the right to a platform is not; any rights to free speech does not include a right to be widely disseminated.
Software is more of an operating engineer, i.e. changing the state to accomplish a task.

Most of what people think of for an engineer, is someone using material properties to do something useful.

IMO concentrate on how to do your job/task/hobby to the best of your ability and learn new things to do better, and it doesn't matter as to the label under which you do.
After extensive research, this was ultimately my conclusion: Going iOS. My rationale was that it is significantly easier to de-Google an iPhone then it is to de-Google and android phone. I can also lock down an iPhone more easily (Disabling iCloud, using DNSCloak, etc).

There are plenty of projects that aim to remove Google from an android, but I question their security; even if the privacy is good, there could be exploits or unpatched vulnerabilities.
5 Alternatives to Using WhatsApp in 2021
"WhatsApp has a couple of issues that seem to all be hitting at the same time. One issue appeared January 10, 2021, when WhatsApp group invite links and user profiles started appearing in Google searches. This could allow someone who spotted such links in a Google search to join the indexed groups.

Thousands of user profiles were also indexed by Google, which could lead to a user’s data, including phone number and profile photo, being exposed to outsiders. WhatsApp has reportedly fixed the Google indexing problem — but it may be too late if your data has already been exposed in the wild.

The other issue bedeviling the service right now is their new Terms of Service. Those terms will require users to consent to WhatsApp sharing user data with Facebook. Yes, this is the same Facebook that has been plagued with privacy scandals over the years. And if users don’t consent to this sharing by February 8, 2021, they will not be able to use the service any more."

It's possible to care about more than one thing at a time. It's also possible to take a broader look at a problem such as arms control and say that in the long term the proliferation of capabilities is detrimental to humanity as a whole and ask how we can make progress in the other direction. Sadly with nationalism still trending upwards in much of the world I recognise this is a difficult propsition at the moment.

CTO and founder here. Roughly 2 years ago I launched Checkly on HN and Product Hunt. Both launches bombed completely.

I was a solo developer with no audience, no traction, no team and no customers. But HN has been crazy good to me over the following years. Blog posts reached the homepage many times. I got to know many interesting developers, investors and entrepreneurs.

Today, ~24 months later Checkly is a distributed team of 10 people, 200+ customers, a bazillion new features. And, as mentioned in the title, we now have a free developer plan.
> broad statement covering a period of, what, 600 years

not only was it long period but the Middle Ages are only ever brought up by people educated by a Western/ized idea of history.

My point stands because we would never hear of systems that "worked" in a decentralized way because required power structures would have never been in place for them to leave any impact that people will feel should be noted in the history books. James C Scott[1] does a great job tracing decentralized societies fleeing the Chinese empire over a period of several hundred years and settling in the hard to access hills of South East Asia.

A successful decentralized society wouldn't be in our history book because the measure of success is different in these systems. In fact things that are a failure in one system are a success in the other.

In the same way today, groups like the Jawara/Andaman or similar tribes will always remain a footnote in our books, at least until their successful assimilated into our own "superior" culture, and then we give them an honorary mention (= by then their way of living is destroyed ofc).

Another way to read this (and the way I personally do) is that a successful decentralized alternative is often the by-product of (an over-reaching) centralized system. Take a look for what the state labels as crooks, outlaws, degenerates, pirates, insurgents, terrorists, or anyone they are struggling to tax and prosecute, ... in modern times Roma/gypsies are the only ones left who come to mind. Everyone else we eradicate!

> Leading semiconductor manufacturers reassigned capacity from automakers last year after the pandemic slashed car sales, instead shipping chips to companies that produce smartphones, gaming systems and other tech gadgets that remained in high demand.

Sounds like an inability to predict demand accurately given the uncertainties introduced by the pandemic.
Classic industrial robotics and CNCs have and have always had sensors - encoders for position, plus the servo amplifiers give feedback for the amount of current the motor is using, which is proportional to torque. You can definitely use feedback from those control systems. This has been true since the earliest systems in the 70s, and is only starting to become optional with recent hobbyist 3D printers and stepper-based robotic arms and such.

They can also use machine vision in a limited sense. For example, I worked with one last week that drove screws. There are known numbers and locations where screw pilot holes are expected to be, but they have a variability greater than the radius of the screw. So, the arm moves the camera into position so the field of view is a bit larger than the tolerance on the pilot hole, takes a photo, locates the circular feature of appropriate size, then moves the screw to that location.

However, you're right, these robotic systems are doing fundamentally different things than Boston Dynamics and self-driving cars. They're solving a different problem. The difference is less about stepper/servomotor/hydraulics or other control systems, and more about the degree of control that the users can and want to exert over the robot work environment. If it's easy to mandate that there will never be an obstruction in front of the screw you're trying to install, and the machine must power down the servos if a human is inside the fence, and you can demand of the drill machine a certain tolerance on the hole location, you can have a more reliable, simpler to debug, quicker to build robotic cell. If keeping humans out of the equation and the environment obstacle-free is impossible (as on a battlefield or parking lot), then you have to reach for less reliable, more complex control algorithms.
No, I don't know or have an exact opinion about Wall St.

About social media, I think it's mostly a generational issue in governance. Those generations in power are still very little informed about the immense power of social media and are only now beginning to see its effects.

The congress hearings of Zuckerberg, Doursey and Pichai, and the kind of questions being asked there seem to point in that direction.

Needless to say, regulation isn't quite in the best interest of intelligence orgs. More so on the West that is.
Thank you, that was exactly my point.
It's a billion times easier (and cheaper) to block a social media site than boycott a Wall St firm.
That is your opinion. Mine is that it is okay to "sow doubt", similar to that it is okay to "sow doubt" when someone claims they built a perpetuum mobile.

But since you are asking me to download the language so politely: I think this is not necessary. A look in the documentation (https://docs.raku.org/language/concurrency) seems to be enough:

> The subroutine await is almost equivalent to calling result on the promise object returned by start but it will also take a list of promises and return the result of each

So "await" is equivalent to calling "result". What does calling "result" do?

> result blocks the current thread of execution until the promise is kept or broken

This stands in direct contradiction to what was said in the thread here:

> so while the code containing the `await` blocks and waits, the underlying thread/core is released

Unless the OP referred to a _different_ await, I would say: case closed.
It is crazy that their golden build server got compromised. This should worry everyone who isn't managing the sanctity of their build servers. I wonder if people trust cloud hosted (CI/CD) providers to cut their production release builds after this incident.
React or Vue? Angular or Svelte? MomentJS alternatives? We've all been there.

It's usually a daunting and time-consuming activity to find a better library and decide on a Tech Stack for your next project. Usually we developers skim through a countless number of resources in a search for a meaningful information. Every developer has its own favourite list of resources to look up in.

I want to change that and that's why I created Moiva.io
My goal was to gather, aggregate and present valuable information in an easy and digestible way - one chart per a meaningful metric. If possible and makes sense - show a trend.

I don't want to clutter the page with useless information and useless metrics.
I don't want to present any scientifically calculated information which is hard to digest and understand.

Evaluation and comparison should be dead simple.

I have big plans for that project and lots of ideas.
I want to create something really useful for developers.

That's why your feedback is critical on that road.

- does the project bring any value to you? Do you think it makes sense?

- suggestions for new charts?

- suggestions for existing charts and information?
I am astounded and delighted you could have wandered through life and never encountered a reference to Cthulhu. Have fun!
I understand, I too had a similar experience in high school. My comment was largely referring to my context: This semester I'll finish a mathematical engineering degree (in my country engs. are 12 semesters long) and the abstract way is rewarding but without applications can only be endured so far. It does not help that a large fraction of mathematical engineers after they graduate end up doing some software work consisting in statistics, optimization or some other advanced mathetical concept. With a dropout rate of ~80%, not many people are willing to put themselves through rigorous analysis classes on top of the engineering requirements for so many years to get a job doing something you could have learned in a more practical way. But we are very well paid and the unemployment rate is 0% since there are maybe 10 graduates in the whole country each year.

This is unlikely. A star can disappear if it goes supernova, or it implodes to become a neutron star or a black hole. The Pleiades are very close to us (astronomically speaking) at around 400 light-years. It would be virtually impossible for the remnants of a supernova at that distance to remain undiscovered, and also for a neutron star/ black hole to be so close to us and us not know about it.

For example the remnant of Tycho Brahe's supernova is at about 8000 light-years from us [1].

They haven't, yet.

>There are pretty strong ethical reasons for why you shouldn't get a criminal record and, possibly, face prison time for not paying for a TV licence, so it would be politically quite easy to pass.

One doesn't face prison for non-payment of the license fee.

A custodial sentence can only be imposed if one fails to pay the court-ordered fine imposed as a punishment for non-payment of the license fee.

Renaissance Says Losses Should Have Been Expected at Some Point
Competition is the hallmark of liberalism, or a free-market economy. Capitalism and a free market are pretty much orthogonally related (consider, if you will, the ideal capitalist state in which a single capitalist controls 100% of the market).

The central philosophy is capitalism sure isn't competition. It's the accumulation of wealth. It's usually accomplished by taking it from those who create it. Reducing competition enhances that accumulation, so effectively competition is the enemy of capitalism.

Nerds love to bike shed crap like this and bite the hand that feeds.

To paraphrase a typical rant: “Making knowledge free and accessible is useless unless a libre format is used like Markdown.” Lol

The PDF beef is funnier in that people usually don’t know why they are morally opposed to PDF, it usually boils down to not liking Adobe Acrobat a decade ago, not accepting that page format preservation is a thing, or some beef with zooming or something. End of the day, it seeks to be digital paper.

End of the day, it’s an open standard with multiple implementations. Just by virtue of the US Federal Courts using it for millions of documents it will be usable for the foreseeable future, well beyond our lifetimes. (And there are many similar or even bigger examples)

One can easily verify this by looking at their bandwidth utilization. It is highly unlikely they are uploading multiple streams from every participant and just muxing the right-sized stream for the other participants to download. Bandwidth costs might be more expensive than the transcoding costs. Remember, you can use ASIC accelerated transcoders which can be quite cost-effective. If they really want to cut corners, they can simply command-and-control every participant client to send low-res stream and restream to every other participant without full transcoding – at least for free tier.
