This ruling isn’t actually a ruling on a speech issue. Rather it’s a ruling on whether changing a policy is sufficient to moot a claim of harm under that policy.

The majority made the common-sense ruling that simply changing a policy does not moot a claim of harm that occurred while the policy in force, which has long been the go-to argument for institutions enacting bad policy.

What this ruling means is that the original suit can proceed. It says nothing about the merits of the original suit, just that the claimants actually do meet the minimum bar of standing after all.

You’d better use at least two. Nearly every email service in 2021 has anti-malware and anti-phishing which was inspects links as a security feature. This often breaks poorly designed “one time” links like password resets that incorrectly use non-idempotent GET requests.

No, of course not. Why should I be disposed to take an accusation of hate speech at face value? I certainly don't have any hate in my heart for people. If I say something, it's because I think it is (or at least may be) true. Whether that might potentially in some abstract way cause others to feel hate is frankly not my business.

Now, if I'm wrong about some point of fact, I am more than willing to be corrected. And that's all it should take.

If someone feels the need to go beyond merely arguing my claim is false and use the accusation of hate speech, I'm going to seriously doubt that person is intellectually serious or acting in good faith.
But doesn't emacs come with this built in? It's practically pre-installed on most of the unix machines I've used. I've even played it at the Apple Store.
Why? The Cold War more or less started with soviet spies stealing the western allies nuclear technology. It’s not like the USSR was standing on their own 2 feet entirely independent of western technology at any point during its existence.

> How do you do that if you're not root?

> And if you are building an executable with that capability, how do you enable your Makefile to set it?

The goal is to bind without passing through root, not to never have root at all, so you could run the service with it as an ambient capability (supported by e.g. systemd). Or setcap as root after building.

> In fact, I might want to allow a user to bind to port 200 only.

Program with the capability on its file to check the user, bind the socket, drop the capability, and exec. (I’m sure something existing does that, but I don’t have one to recommend since I’ve never needed it.)

But there’s also iptables and friends as alternative solutions to the same problem that still don’t require giving the process root at any point.
I'd love to know that too.

The FAQ says at https://sqlite.org/faq.html#q3 says "This is a feature, not a bug"

https://sqlite.org/datatype3.html says "the dynamic typing in SQLite allows it to do things which are not possible in traditional rigidly typed databases"... but it doesn't expand on that point at all.

My best guess is that this is a language culture thing. SQLite has a strong connection to the Tcl community - it started life as a Tcl extension: https://www.sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html - and Tcl is a very dynamically typed language.

Whatever the reasons, it's not going to change now: SQLite has extremely strong backwards-compatibility guarantees, and this is very much baked into how it works.

As a dynamic language person this has never bothered me in the slightest, but it's definitely something that comes up a lot from people who are put off using SQLite because of it.

Interesting, I'll give that a try this Spring! Thanks for the tip. Soapy water in general doesn't seem like something that's problematic as far as eating the oranges later... whether it's technically "organic" or not is secondary for me. I guess that maybe raises an eyebrow about what "organic" means, if soapy water isn't acceptable.

FWIW, my brain was going "book! book! book! book! book!" back at the top-level comment, and the beeper may have got slightly overloaded and broke as I continued reading. :)

Yes please.

As a sidenote, the story about "the CEO vs the architects" was very fascinating: the CEO could see the end-to-end real-world value of what you'd built, but the architects couldn't make everything align. In a sense the CEO was more flexible than the architects, despite the fact that stereotypes might suggest the opposite being more presumable.

Also, the sentiment about your unusual methodology exceeding current best practice makes me wonder whether you achieved so-called "environmental enlightenment" - where everything clicks and just works and makes everyone who touches the system a 5x developer - or whether the environment simply had to just work really really well. Chances are the former is what everyone wishes they'll find one day, while the latter (incredibly complex upstream demands that are not going to go away anytime soon and which require you to simply _deliver_) definitely seems like the likelier explanation for why the system worked, regardless of the language it was written in - it was the product of a set of requirements that would not accept anything else.

Hmm. Now I think about that a bit and try and apply it to "but why is current best practice worse", I was musing the other day about how a lot of non-technical environments don't apply tech in smart ways to increase their efficiency, because their fundamental lack of understanding in technology means they go to a solutions provider, get told "this will cost $x,xxx,xxx", don't haggle because they basically _can't_, and of course don't implement the tech. I wonder if the ubiquitification (that seems to be a word) of so-called "best practices" in an area doesn't function in a similar way, where lack of general awareness/understanding/visibility in an area means methodology and "practices" (best or not) aren't bikeshed to death, and you can just innovate. (Hmm, but then I start wondering about how highly technically competent groups get overtaken by others... I think I'll stop now...)

This is where a richer standard library of datetime functions would come in handy. Another example: strftime's %W starts on the first Monday of the year, when the ISO week calendar starts the first Monday of the week containing the first Thursday (so the first week is sometimes found in the previous calendar year).

I'm not sure if this apply for human genome, but virus like covid compress many protein in the same sequence. The ribosome iterates over the same genes, starting each new iteration at i+1. This process runs a finite amount of times, producing a different protein every time. Not trivial to compare.
The aftermath of trauma is real. If you can tackle it on your own, great. If not, therapy can help teach you how to cope. Good luck!
The whole point of blockchains is that the incentives are supposed to be aligned between miners and users.

If this were obviously true, there wouldn't be a problem. I think a better formulation talks about distributed ledgers working better when the interests of users and miners are aligned.

And of course they never quite are (miners want profit, users want minimal transaction costs with high security).
Internet was neither the only computer network available to consumers, nor the first one. Users had been pretty connected even before they started having IP addresses. Also, Internet is not a synonym of World Wide Web.
Bitcoin is deliberately and wisely not Turing complete. That gives a lot of power and mischief-making ability to anonymous entities in an adversarial environment.

Yep! If you’re using file capabilities (setcap), it doesn’t look quite like that – you use setcap on the file separately, and then nohup when running it.

You should probably run production services using something other than nohup, though, like systemd.

I watch Levy's youtube channel, and he is certainly not the kind of person to vindictively report someone because they beat him. Furthermore, he explains his reasoning clearly when he thinks someone is cheating using a bot: they make strange moves, the time between movies stays fairly constant, they take longer than expected to make very obvious moves. I would be very curious to see this indonesian player legitimately play against a chess master live, because from both chess.com and Levy it sounds like he was definitely cheating.
Ruby creator: “Do not fight developer instincts”
The article is about wealth, not money supply. Those are completely different concept. There could theoretically be a lot of wealth and very little money (if no one wants to trade there isn't much needed) or not so much wealth and a lot of money (a lot of people need loans to trade and build wealth).

It's convenient to measure wealth in dollars in a "how much you could get if you still it" way and it's possible because dollars are very stable but there is very little reason for the amount of dollars circulating to represent existing wealth.

> The biggest caveat in re-using old compute hardware IMO is power consumption

This is a relatively recent laptop (it has a GTX 1060 inside!), and I can't get hardware that capable for cheap enough for it to be worth it. My only reason for making it an HTPC is that I don't want to see it gather dust on a shelf for no reason.

> You can try passive heatsink

I've considered that + other cheap ways, but I'm concerned about mounting. The CPU runs hot, even when well cooled, so I'd need some way to get good contact with the die without harming it. There's a few screw slots around it, but those are for the heat pipes it comes with. That's the biggest challenge in this project from my perspective.

> You can also use your hardware for only GPGPU applications & HW accel on GPU to reduce load on CPU e.g. Separate stream encoding machine

Unfortunately, I don't have any use cases where that could come in handy. Working a full-time job killed my dreams of producing content :'). I just want this to sit at my 4K TV and play content without snooping on me, like all the big name boxes do.

I worked in a plant pathology lab (Dr. Fulbright) at Michigan State University in 2007-08 which was studying C. parasitica. I would run to the fields on Fridays and collect samples to look at under a microscope. Behind my family’s land in northern Michigan, we have American chestnuts that were one of the few remaining stands in the state. They seemed to have some better luck than the rest, though they never grew too tall.

It would be wonderful for the Chinese chestnut to get the spotlight it deserves!
> a few distros toyed with the idea of making it the default and went back on it quickly

As a bystander, it felt like a vocal minority was pretty aggressively underselling the shortcomings. Perhaps that's unfair but it's definitely how it came across to me. They appeared to back off a bit as a result of the community backlash, but the damage was done - many people appear to mentally associate Wayland with someone else threatening to break their system. Now we see endless threads like this one, even though Wayland itself actually seems like a really good idea to me from a technical perspective.

Xorg losing maintainers is certainly a concern, but since Pipewire appears to be quickly approaching mainstream hopefully everything will work out. It's just frustrating to me that anyone ever tried to market Wayland as more than a proof of concept prior to working out such essential details (screenshots, screencasts, pointer capture, input manipulation, and a bunch of others I can't remember).

I think an important takeaway is that breaking even remotely common workflows is likely to attract inordinate amounts of negative attention no matter how good your technical or circumstantial reasons are for doing so. It doesn't matter how cool the project is - most people just have no interest in hacking on their OS.

So it isn't just me then. I'm still using xmodmap because I never managed to figure out how to get xkb to do what I wanted.
Your claim was that even the simple accusation of "hate speech" should be taken at face value and be cause for introspection, seemingly regardless of the circumstances.

Now here you are asking for reasons before you reevaluate your own position when we claim you are in error. Do you not see the hypocrisy?

You are welcome to expect arguments before you change your mind. You can be "innocent until proven guilty". That's all the rest of us ask. Telling others to assume fault when you yourself do not is a rather poor way to argue.
How did you get good contact with the CPU die? I've considered an open air setup even before I had a backup PC to be bold with the laptop, but I wasn't sure it could cool the CPU.
Text based one is great. Not all the times. But text and keyboard is good enough for many. GUI and user friendliness with with training is great. As they said in 1980s. But there are still niche for text as it is faster without jumping to mouse.

On the other hand, engineering corn to produce Bt toxin, which is harmless to mammals, such that less broad-spectrum insecticide must be applied to get the crop to harvest, seems like a straightforward win.

The toxin only affects insects which actually eat the corn, so it shouldn't be contributing to the alarming crash in insect population we've been seeing worldwide.
As a general rule of thumb, the only way to decrease the energy of an orbit (what most people would consider to be "lowering the orbit"), is to apply acceleration in the opposite direction that the object is traveling.

You may be to do this with atospheric drag if you add enough ellipticity but they would only be lowering the orbit indirectly.

The bight is believed to have come from trees introduced from east Asia. Here in the Pacific North West there are plenty of chestnut trees. Last autumn I picked like 4 or 5 full shopping bags full of edible chestnuts. They were delicious. I’m not sure if it is from American, Chinese or even Japanese chestnuts trees though.

It is highly likely that Mel Tormé and Bob Wells were roasting the east Asian chestnuts over the open fire.

EDIT: And I just found out that Bob Wells was born in Raymond, Washington. So it is entirely likely that the chestnuts that he picket and roasted in his youth were similar to the once you can pick today in the Pacific North West.
I am starting to contemplate that with older computers, energy efficiency and other such sacrifices may actually be worth it in some cases. The internet connectivity issues is particularly annoying because its "primary beneficiary" is often not the hardware purchaser.

I believe the "latest technology" today, as in the stuff discussed on HN, is often less reliable than what came before. Convenience is interesting, but if asked to choose, I would choose reliability over convenience. I also fear that younger generations are being conditioned to accept lower threshholds of reliability.
To be fair, arranged marriages depend on even more things. Sub-sub-sub-caste as other poster mentioned, and gotra (which excludes certain members of same caste). That's just too foreign thing for a western mindset.
The PCL is amazing for getting started with point cloud processing. There is an immense variety of hugely useful algorithms.

Once you get to a certain point some issues start becoming prominent:

* It is quite bloated and pulls in huge dependencies such as VTK

* Many algorithms are quite unoptimized, for example the NDT registration is rather slow and inaccurate. Some recent, leaner implementations of KD Trees, such as nanoflann and libNABO may also be faster than the FLANN implementation that PCL uses.

* PCL is an old library and has some evolutionary vestiges such as relying on Boost pointers rather than using shared pointers and unique pointers recommended by modern ISO C++

Meanwhile, for some applications, storing a point cloud as a "struct of vectors" can be faster than a "vector of structs" when using SIMD operations due to coalesced memory access. i.e.

struct PointCloud { Eigen::ArrayXdf x, y, z; };

may be better than

struct Point { float x, y, z, c; }; using PointCloud = std::vector<Point>;

Oh well, at least PCL doesn't try to roll its own linear algebra (like OpenCV lol).
It is meant to be spent as gas in order to compensate for the energy costs of the computations in its smart-contracts.
