Different take: they only banned him because he was headed out the door. Had Trump been re-elected, we likely would've seen 4 more years of dithering so as not to piss off a man who could make their lives very stressful.
Are these D bindings relevant to Rust developers? Or asked another way, is there some reason that the D bindings would be better to use than these native ones in Rust?
Small differences here means within the realm of what’s possible to build out of organic molecules. We’re talking about averaging life across the span of a galaxy. By unique and exotic I meant unlikely life forms like Boltzmann brains or sentient planets. We are probably one out of a million sentient, organic, sexually reproducing species. Once you’ve seen a few thousands of these you’re probably bored.

Given that most of the vaccines were produced "at risk" (i.e. before the trials showed that they were effective), I doubt that if the FDA had approved these vaccines on the day they were designed, we would have significantly more doses in people's arms today.

I hope this doesn't result in Twitter banning all adult content which seems to be how all platforms handle pedophilia lawsuits/legal pressure these days.
Opera would be a good example of a third independent implementation successfully competing with the primary two (IE and NN/Mozilla). I remember switching browsers back and forth several times back then - I was an Opera 6 user, then moved to Firebird/Firefox shortly after it was released, then back to Opera 7/8/9, then to Chrome.

It was a fairly brief period, unfortunately - roughly between IE losing definitive market dominance, and Chrome acquiring the same.
I think the odds of US moderators being any sort of majority or anything close to that is slim to zero. The savings are astronomical and is the same reason customer support of all kinds, even IT help, is outsourced. US mods are most likely a minority and a face.
Used Tucows as most reliable source for downloading software for Windows back in the days (I think I did not trusted e.g. download.com). Will remember all the cows on the early internet days ;)

This is an excellent counter perspective.
I just have trouble wrapping my head around how someone can be that valuable. I'll never even hit $75/hr (excluding inflation).
That's a fair concern. I went on word-of-mouth reputation from coworkers (younger with sports injuries; older with age related issues, mostly knees, hips, and shoulders) to select a clinic. My first PT was decent, but not communicative, but I was there long enough to see which PTs were better than the rest and when I had to go back a couple years later was able to select who I wanted.

The failure to raise the block size limit is the very reason bitcoin has failed as a currency. The main people against against raising the block size limit were blockstream and bitcoin core devs. A competing client to Bitcoin core which supported a block size increase was Bitcoin XT. At one stage it had 50% of the market share, until nodes running XT started getting DDoS'd. Then the censorship began, any posts about bitcoin XT and block size limit increase were banned from bitcointalk and r/bitcoin. [1]

i've been on twitter for the same time and last year was the first time i saw people talking about "map" which apparently means "minor attracted person"[0].

while searching around i found that there's a LOT of twitter accounts basically spewing pedophilia-related/adjacent stuff. i reported every single one of them and... nothing was done. not a single one was removed.

I don't believe that they would have been raised by a happily married woman with grandchildren -- or any woman. Oh, you can never say "never", but I think that very, very few women would see themselves in the characterization expressed there.

I cited text that, I believe, women would see as red flags. (I'd let women speak for themselves here, but HN is rather a suasage fest, and it shouldn't fall to the few who are here to do all of the work. If they disagree with me we should certainly discuss that.) Regardless of who the OP actually is in real life, that's the way they presented themselves, and I think it's important to HN readers to see how that is interpreted.

I cannot think of any more productive way to show that. I tried to be as polite and specific as I could while saying what I believe a woman would say, if she felt safe enough to do so. (I reiterate, I wouldn't if I thought it likely that a woman would, in this forum. I'm a secondhand substitute.)
I'm curious why they didn't go with the larger 64 core Epyc. I mean it's double the cost, but I suspect that the huge amount of NVMe SSDs is by far the largest part of the cost anyway. And it seems like CPU was the previous bottleneck as it was at 90%.
Both of these parameters can be null, and references cannot be null, so it is not possible to use references directly without losing some functionality.

(They could remove the intos if they wanted to, I agree it feels kind of weird but I'm not actually sure if doing it is better or worse, I am conflicted.)
Larger Heroku Postgres Plans: More Power, More Storage
In the past I always rolled my (our) own auth but in recent years, it is so much easier to offload this to another system for so many reasons including just being more secure (policies, MFA, oauth2 pkce etc). I've used AWS Cognito which is probably one of the cheapest along with Auth0 and Okta.

I've even migrated from my (our) own to another provider and back, including provider to provider without an issue. I was initially concerned with vendor lock-in, but it hasn't been a major problem so far. With most of them it is fairly easy to migrate without any interruption to your users (including MFA!).
Sure hope we're not globally in the process of inducing maladaptive immunity to emerging strains that turn out to get extensive spread...

Partly, also as a user interested in the future of software we depend on, and also the "kremlinology" of the thing. True or no, it's Eich's assertion that Mozilla is top-heavy, and they certainly haven't been able to keep up with the Chrome variants technically. Long term, the interest is whether Mozilla's vs Brave's approach will give a viable browser alternative, with incentives aligned with the user, at least relatively speaking, vs. chrome.
As convenient as all of that would be just removing the registration would make this a lot easier regardless of the number of systems.
Yeah, I have no illusions that any of this is likely easily achievable. Though I disagree fundamentally that proportional representation is in any way parochial, it makes complete sense for small states to cynically hold onto to influence they hold even if it's not democratically reasonable (just like I wouldn't expect UN security council veto-holders to willingly give up their seat even if it were reasonable). But similarly, the current system is extremely undemocratic.

A more realistic path therefore would be to split the large states; small states don't get as easy a veto over that.

Hi Grubles!

Question: How do you think people will use BTC in the future? Do you think people will ever be able to buy coffee with it?
The difference is urgency, and knock on effects.

If your system is designed for hot swap of failed disks, but 1% of the time, you need to reboot the system for the new disk to be detected; predictive replacement lets you move traffic off the system at a convenient time to do the swap (when traffic is low, and operations staff isn't super busy). Predictive replacement can be deferred more easily, because the system is still working; maybe you can batch it with some other maintenance.

A surprise failure needs to be dealt with in a more timely fashion.

In my experience (which I didn't write a blog post for), monitoring the right SMART values and doing predictive replacement eliminated most of the surprise failures for spinning drives. SSDs had less failures, but I wasn't able to find any predictive indicators; they generally just disappeared from the OS perspective.
The whole deplatforming thing is mostly virtue-signalling.

PornHub is an easy target and the people & companies involved in its deplatforming do not need it in any way (at least not in a way they would publicly admit - I'm sure some of them do consume its content) so it's an easy call to make and can gather significant support from certain conservative and religious circles.

Twitter on the other hand is near-essential to most brands and media outlets, so the virtue-signalling benefit from deplatforming it is minuscule compared to the loss (the people most vocal in support of PornHub's deplatforming would be the first ones out of a job), not to mention that virtue-signalling only works if you have a place to brag about your action - if you deplatform Twitter, where are you going to brag about it?
Yeah I’ve a feeling that might be something to do with it ...
I’m not successful in a side hustle, but I do study or practice skills after work, and it took me a long time to escape from being too tired to do anything. These things helped me:
- Stay dressed for “work.” Basically, I don’t change into my pajamas until I’m done studying. Even in covid times, I usually have work clothes I wear during the day. Maybe not a button down, but definitely not something as comfy as my lounge clothes.
- Have a ridiculously low bar for getting started. For me, something like “I will watch 2 minutes of lecture,” is low enough that it feels trivial. 90% of the time, I finish up what I’d normally plan. There are some days where just making that low bar feels exhausting, but the fact I did it helps me keep momentum for the next day. Forgive yourself if the low bar is all you achieve some days. Other days, you’ll be on top of the world.
- Being exhausted a lot is touted as normal in our culture. This is how you know you’re “adulting good.” Don’t buy in to it and figure out if there may be an underlying cause. Maybe you drink caffeine too late. Maybe you need to go to bed earlier. I personally found out I was iron deficient and getting some more iron in my diet was like getting a new lease on life. I had assumed I was okay because being tired and needing coffee is so prevalent. I bet a lot of people are like me and not realize something is off, so I just want to mention it.
> Their work is valuable but they’re entirely replaceable.

Intel is replaceable.
The question in my mind - even if Intel executes on its core competencies, has the market and its' structures moved on to make their vertical setup obsolete?
There’s nothing to suggest this one judge is part of any plan. This is just a judge playing “choose your own adventure” with live characters arguing over something he doesn't care about while providing some form of escapism.
Everything you've written is speculation or assertion, whereas the OP's comment is a factual statement about the limitation of the work. They're showing that this mutation escapes a few particular antibodies. That's all.

At the very least, the current headline "strongly resistant to past immunity" is editorialized and completely misleading, and should be changed to the title of the paper.

> In many cases, binding antibodies increase cell infectivity.

Citation absolutely required. I am unaware of an example of this, let alone "many cases".
I’m guessing that since it is for registration and all, the usage might be write-driven, or at least equally balance between writes and reads.

In addition, you really care about integrity of your data so you probably want serializability, avoid concurrency and potential write/update conflicts, and to only do the writes on a single server.

For this reason it sounds to me that partitioning/sharding is the only way to really scale this: have different write servers that care about different primary keys.
No, I'm saying a local shut down in the economy may/does have impacts further reaching than the local economy, and that your statement is flawed.

Shutting down local economies is exactly what shuts down global supply chains/economies. It's not like you can carve France out of the global economy and act like they don't exist for three months.

It's not as simple as you're saying, is what my point is.
Maybe it's the headline that is misleading you, or it's a symptom of our times.

In any case: it should be blatantly obvious that the Twitter representative did not know or agree that the person in the video was a minor. The insinuation that it's Twitter policy to distribute child pornography is laughable. They have absolutely nothing to gain from it.

As to liability: Section 230 is about exactly that situation: trying to limit damaging material on your platform does not create any liability even if you fail. Because the alternative, where you either allow your platform to be flooded with swastikas and pornography or get sued for every single mistake you make, is unworkable.
Also by the lack of persistent data structures with structural sharing. That forces you to take an expensive copy whenever you want a modified version of some data, or bash it in place.
Microsoft has reinvented themselves, but the old hatred won't die easy.

I'm excited for Intel to do the same, and look forward to the lingering suspicion even then.
Yes, with modern storage, throughput is a CPU problem.

And CPU problem for OLTP databases is largely a memory access latency problem. For columnar analytics & complex calculations it's more about CPU itself.

When doing 1 MB sized I/Os for scanning, my 16c/32t (AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro WX) CPUs were just about 10% busy. So, with a 64 core single socket ThreadRipper workstation (or 128-core dual socket EPYC server), there should be plenty of horsepower left.
It's fine for people to disagree, sure, and I certainly don't expect to convince everyone. You're also absolutely right that disagreements can engage the emotions in the way you describe.

But consider your example, software. People have strong emotions about, say, Windows vs. Mac vs. Linux as a platform. This isn't just about the feels. Real issues are at stake. The Unix-hater's handbook points out how "root" was a terrible security model. Similar comments might apply to Windows.

Well, I think art matters too. There's no bright line between "art" and the other ways people have of expressing ideas (political speeches, say). If our art is clichéd, it means our ideas are clichéd. At worst, it means we are hiding from reality in a bubble of uplift and togetherness. At present (in my view as an outsider) Americans really need to come together as a nation - but that will require more than repeating the clichés of one's own political tribe. So in that sense, I think this poem is a bad omen.

> But inserting as a cause magical forces that we cannot even begin to explain as means of correcting time discrepancies.

That is my point though: there is no need for magic for this mechanism. The double slit delayed choice quantum erasure experiment is analogous to time travel as there is no way the particles could "know" that their path would be observed at some point in the future, yet if they were, those particles mysteriously only took paths that created the gaps. Given that this is a real, testable phenomenon in the real testable universe, it would not require magic to explain that idea that only timelines in which a time traveler doesn't cause a paradox can exist. The time traveler, like the particles in the experiment, chooses paths as they see fit and it only later turns out that they necessarily were ones in which paradoxes were avoided.
I meant you should ask people how to monetize misfortune. I've gotten handouts by just randomly asking people for money before when I was a student (mostly out of curiosity and only a few dollars).

Sad to hear people are not compassionate towards you when you discuss your issues. I often get ignored when I talk about mine publicly but never get shit on for it.

On those cyberstalkers: have you tried reporting them to the cops? I think I scared most of mine away by taking direct action against them.
I apologize. I assumed that if you were speaking about the relationships between men and women it was because you had at least some minimal direct experience about it.

I believe that if you talk to actual women, instead of "having fun thinking about stuff", you'll find that you have not characterized how women actually go about seeking partners.
Any one of those individual private keys could be imported into another wallet software application (e.g Electrum). Then the funds can be swept to a newer wallet that has a seed backup.

Private keys are just numbers. That has not changed since the beginning.
The mainstream media won't pick this up because they like Twitter. If Facebook had done this, WaPo and CNN would be all over it.
FWIW, the Netherlands is now under curfew:

"Further, one person will be allowed to walk their dog on a leash at a time. However, Rutte asked that people not try to skirt the rules by arranging for a "loaner dog" if Parliament approves the curfew. "

"If you're going to pass around your dog among the whole family so everyone can go out late into the night, that's just really stupid."

Truly a disingenuous argument.

Parler didn't get TOS'd because they had things fall through their moderation process; they got TOS'd because they did not have a workable moderation process in place, period. Twitter obviously does make mistakes - both AIs and humans are fallible - but they have about as good a moderation process in place as it's possible to have with the amount of message traffic they process.

Also, I'd like to point out that the only evidence WE'VE seen of this so far are a few claims made in a lawsuit.
My dad had prostate cancer a few years ago, which was treated successfully with radiation. He now gets his PSA score twice a year -- once with his annual physical, and 6 months later with his cancer doc.

I wonder whether the biosensor could be something patients like him could have at home. (Also, now I'm imagining Apple telling customers they can urinate on the next generation of the watch.)
It's been a while since I knew those kinds of details, but it certainly been the case in the past.

I agree with the overall sentiment of your post, but using the Hunter Biden laptop story as an example is an unfortunate choice. There's a popular view that politics had a lot to do with who picked up the story and who didn't, as opposed to just the strength of the case itself. I would recommend picking a less controversial example that highlights the shortcomings of NY Post's journalism, such as their reporting on the Boston Bombers [1].

You can literally claim anything in a lawsuit. Let's wait for some evidence or a judgement or a reply?
It can only have one line for example.
Not directly answering the question but...

Over the past day on Ask HN we've had threads like:

> Anyone know any funny programming jokes?

> Enjoy today at 21:21:21 on the 21st day, of the 21 year of the 21st century

> What is your one song?

> How much of a success/failure has your love life been?

Is it just a coincidence to get so many threads that seem out of place in such a short period of time?
I have no idea what you're trying to say, as trying to compare these statistics to a 50% chance just doesn't work. Is the number of tosses the number of people or the number of murders?
No - "hell yes". In fact, "Hell yeah".
