> It's also a fact that many happy marriages began as a relationship between superior and subordinate.

I'm curious about what fraction of superior-subordinate relationships you think culminate in happy marriages, and how low that fraction has to go before you decide that forbidding superior-subordinate relationships is a lot easier than negotiating the messy world of allowing it? My guess is that the fraction is pretty low, and the world of HR standards in the west has already been through this calculus.

I used to captain a solar race car team. I don't really want solar panels on my car; I'd much rather have them installed as stationary infrastructure. On-vehicle there are pressures to stay compact and lightweight, which costs durability. Cars are also almost always more-shaded than rooftops.

A super tiny panel to run a cabin fan is reasonable, but on an EV with an enormous battery pack it's unnecessary complexity.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of all your favorite blogs and news in one place?
With RSS being unfortunately a thing of the past, I’ve got this problem where I find it hard to get any kind of list or aggregate of all the different blogs and news sites that I want to keep track of.

Apple News doesn’t really solve my problem. It presents articles to me it thinks I like, rather than ones just from sources I do like, and many smaller blogs and sources cannot be added to it.

I can subscribe to newsletters for most blogs and news sites, but that spams my inbox with many emails instead of one.

What’s the best way to aggregate all of these into one place?

Ideally I want a list of articles from all the different sites I visit, in order of when they were published, either in an app or on a website or somewhere central. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ah you're right. That's a mistake. They should fix that.
In some metric countries, a "mile" is 10 km.
so now what? Instead of millions of channels competing on one very good and easily accessible site, designed to show videos, they will compete on a much larger scale, with far bulkier channels on a site that displays other things as well. The punchline is that both sites are controlled by the same company. I can predict that exactly nothing will be gained by this, except the flooding of internet by many more videos.
If you manually screwed around with the most significant bit of the underlying bit pattern (rather than just writing -x like any normal person) I'd expect to get a NaN -- assuming of we keep an explicit sign bit in the representation at all. It would obviously make hardware implementation of negation more complex (and thus slower) but I don't think there is any conceptual problem.

Everyone's excuse is "state actors" now and maybe they're right;

Only intelligence services or people who know where the servers are located can pull off things like that,” mused one mainstay of Exploit. “Three forums in one month is just weird. I don’t think those were regular hackers. Someone is purposefully ruining forums.

The thing with the state actor stuff is; once a actor state creates some tooling and methodologies, what could possibly prevent this from getting into private hands? (I mean, serious question) States have huge computing power for cracking passwords or whatever, state have "patience" but still, computing power can be stolen (via botnets or however), any process can be automated, etc.

The underlying thing has to be already considered valuable. Consider tokenized single cask scotch.

So, it's made, and costs 150 a bottle. Why? Ostensibly, it's good scotch whiskey, and it's a limited run, 10 years in the making.

So why tokenize it?

Gamification.

Only people with the actual bottle can play.

Open it, scan the qr under the cap, then you can share the official tweet from posh-makers whisky announcing the opening of the bottle.... "that was us last night, good times all around!" maybe you get a 25 dollar certificate for your next limited run bottle. It's a social flex, and it's great publicity for the brand.

...and the remaining 237 bottles just went up in price. Fast forward a few years, and somebody has one of the last three bottles.... Which is mostly because he can actually prove he has one of the last three. Now its worth 270k.
I have my doubts that this is the first, this one just got noticed and is easy to politicize. At least one of my submissions has had its definition totally replaced, it's not much of a stretch to assume there have been some low profile removals that nobody really cares about.

As for the OP, I feel like if somebody cares about security, they shouldn't be doing any of this.

Generally higher level programmer here (Elixir), who has been dabbling with Zig lately (goal is to write an Elixir type checker!). It's quite refreshing, interesting, and dare I say it, fun!

I realize it doesn't have the same memory safety guarantees as rust, but what I don't quite understand, is what sort of danger that means I'm inviting these days. If my app doesn't deal with anything particular sensitive, do I need to worry about it too much? Am I inviting trouble for my users?

I read Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit back in the day, and I know that at one point, poorly behaving low level programs could escalate privileges, reach into other programs' memory and so forth.

But is that still relevant these days? I'd think OSes have gotten better about sandboxing programs and such. I know I've seen misbehaving programs segfault before, which I thought was the OS protecting against wayward memory access.

And "memory safety" really doesn't apply if targeting wasm, right? In that case Zig could really shine, since its great for cross compilation and really has memory allocations handled well, and doesn't need a GC, without the "memory safety" downsides.

I guess my question is how much rust's "memory safety" is kind of an XY problem? In what cases is that actually what I should be asking for, compared to the more general question of program correctness? I can see it in rust's original use case of a web browser, since, e.g., tabs shouldn't access each other, but does it apply to all "system" or low level programming use cases?

> It was for this magazine that the story "Blue Swords" was written - the first in a cycle about Major Pronin, after which six stories about the hero were published in 1939-1940 in the magazines " Vokrug Sveta " and "Znamya" , then came out as a separate publication in the series " Library of the Red Army ", and in 1941 were included in the collection" The Adventures of Major Pronin ".

(...)

> On July 5, 1941, Lev Ovalov was arrested on charges of divulging classified information and convicted, after which he spent 15 years in labor camps and exile. There, the writer worked in his main specialty - a doctor, and met the nurse Valentina Klyukina, with whom they began to live together in the late 1940s .

I think most people don't believe insects are complex of mind to be said to suffer in the same sense as human beings. Even if this is not so what is the exchange rate between human suffering and mosquito suffering? I would probably horribly torture any number of mosquitos to prevent the suffering of even one human. Wouldn't you? Can you imagine telling one person sorry you need to die I cannot justify torturing so many mosquitos?
It's not like there's zero options here. There are lots of options. You seem to be implying we should just give up trying anything.

Even the example provided doesn't seem to fall to your bankruptcy idea. If you collect the money for the cleanup on an on-going basis during operation, how does bankruptcy get them out of it?

You can change bankruptcy rules. You can even make leadership personally liable. Hell, you could make shareholders liable if you really wanted.

We're talking about legally created entities operating at a large scale, and the government. If the government gets around to making a serious stab at changing things, they absolutely can.

Admittedly, that's a monstrous 'if' there. But it's not some foregone conclusion that we should just give up on even thinking about holding corporations accountable because it's not even possible.
Exactly. I doubt even the big ones like Pewdiepie can even retain a following with their own website, much less a s small independent creator.
It feels more like you had to deal with some idiot abusing word "pattern" than anything else; "pattern", "method", "solution" is "potato potato", what is important is recognising similarities, naming higher level concepts for good communication and implementing systems organised around sound abstractions as opposed to adhoc, shallow, not thought through mess holding on rolls of scotch tape.

The iterator pattern is the use of an object or closure to encapsulate the state of the iteration. This is distinct from using a loop induction variable in the same scope as the loop block itself. In a language like C, which doesn't provide iterators by default, it seems reasonable to call that a design pattern.
> if the level of racial bias in teachers is no different than in the larger population, then there is a problem with racism in US teachers (as a result of their being a problem with racism in the US).

And if the level of murder in teachers is no different than in the larger population, then there is a problem with murder in US teachers (as a result of there being a problem with murder in the US).

Even under the grossly unsubstatiated assumption that there is particularly a problem with murder in the US - rather than some specific murderers (or white supremacists, as the case may be) who know perfectly well who they are and will not respond to 'raising awareness' about 'anti-murderism' - presenting that as "Murder by US teachers is in fact a big problem." is at best ridiculous cherry-picking.

Just because other humans created the knowledge in question, doesn't make the search for that knowledge not research, if the knowledge isn't held by the general public in the first place, and if that knowledge requires independent gathering of data and interpretation to acquire.

I agree that Apple and the quirks in our society that encourage that secretive behavior has the effect of researchers independently replicating a small subset of Apple's work in a way that they'd be redirected to something more useful in a more open society. That doesn't make the independent researcher's work not research though.

Otherwise nearly the whole field of anthropology wouldn't exist or wouldn't be considered research.

> Lumping them together just cements the idea that the systems we built and navigate, for better or worse, are to be treated like natural laws that can't be argued with.

The systems we have built are pretty fixed in time. We can argue about how to change them going in the future, but we should also record, externally if need be like here, what has happened so that we can make better decisions going forward. Apple's choices for the M1 are arguably more set in stone than our conception of physics. We're able to retcon all of physics when we make changes to the standard model, but "what tradeoffs did Apple make in the M1" are pretty much done and set in stone (or silicon I guess).
Such an apt analogy of course...

It has its advantages and disadvantages. It is also the political system that caused this:

"In 1991 following a decision by the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, Appenzell Innerrhoden (AI) became the last Swiss canton to grant women the vote on local issues."

Notice how it was a court decision, not a result of the political process. I'd say 1991 is a bit too late to have full voting rights for women.

We live in an age where various resources that are essentially indispensable public resources are provided by private, for-profit companies at their own whims and the law should recognize that.
