I will assume good faith that you are not trolling.

It is none of the above. It’s an expression that people use to subjectively express how something makes them feel. In this case, there are certain characteristics to this typeface that lead people to say they feel “warmth”.

Just like when you go to a really happening party and say, “it feels alive in here”. Would it hold up to a randomised trial? Probably, or probably not. It doesn’t matter. The point is about how it made someone feel, and we now know. How would it make you feel? Whatever the answer is, is your perspective and your truth.

There’s a time and place for predictable, measurable results from randomised trials. This is not one of them. None of the great art from history were the result of scientific rigour.

It behooves one to observe reality through multiple perspectives, and question what the meaning of “real” is. I sense that randomised trials would not yield measurable and predictable results for this either.
Are you human? Do you have emotions? Can you quantify them?

I do find some warmth in their typeface.
Nice work! What are some resources you would recommend for someone interested in learning how to design a typeface?
read(2) has to fit into the "might block" bucket, though, right? It would take a very smart runtime to figure out you just called epoll recently and established it won't block.
I've mentioned this in a sibling comment, but my concern with that is that it wouldn't be enough for a 45W CPU that runs fairly hot.

Kaiser promptly volunteered to perform several minor surgeries I would have spent months hunting down preauthorization for other places. It was almost scary how efficiently they bumped me up to the right person with me having to do almost nothing to arrange it.
I'm not sure what you mean re the FCC, but that sounds like a different criticism than what I was responding to, which was based on her positioning herself as an outsider. I'm not necessarily disputing that she causes problems: I don't follow her closely enough to have an informed opinion.
Is is about showing only a certain section of the screen where you have arranged those windows, instead of all of it?

OMG, I was having the hardest time figuring out what 3 regexes applied to each hex. Then I reloaded partway through and the HIGHLIGHTING started working.

Reload if you don't see the regexes turn bold when you click in a hex!
> To do so, you'd need to control 51% of the staked ETH. Not only is this a lot of money but it would probably cause ETH's value to drop

To me "it" is pretty clearly referring to controlling 51% of staked ETH.

I don't know about the economics behind whether that would cause the value of ETH to decrease, but Bitcoin seems like a different situation altogether since miners don't control the the cryptocurrency itself.
Well, then I think computers would be less useful than they are. The machines serve us, not the other way around.
You feel it is the same?

I worked for the Apple Store back in the raging iPod days. I was there for iPod Hi-Fi. That was hands down the best audio I ever heard. You could crank that volume to max and the device wouldn’t rattle or sound overblown. It literally was the most amazing sound I ever heard from a speaker. Sadly couldn’t afford one.

A few years ago I found a brand new in box Hi-Fi on eBay and snapped it up for a few hundred. I was able to add a wireless airplay adapter using a pi and can push audio to it. Still amazing sound after ten years.
> It's also hard to dismiss caste as an ongoing issue when you find out that all but two out of 50+ engineers you worked with is Brahmin.

This is not unbelievable but this large a number is quite surprising. 48/50 from various "upper castes" is quite common though.

Nepotism is rampant though, not unbelievable.

All of these miners are the reason why, if you bought a graphics card 2 years ago, you can sell it for a profit today. So of course, they don't want a system that invalidates their investments in GPUs.

The beauty of this system though is that they don't really get a choice. If Vitalik forks ETH into a PoS system, and enough people get behind it - it doesn't matter what the miners say.
I'm not sure that happens with human genomes, either. I tend to think it's unlikely, simply because it seems improbable that human genomes experience any meaningful selection pressure for information density.

Virus particles are typically very small, and viral genomes thus need to cram whatever they require into as little space as possible - being more information-dense means being able to fit more genes and thus more functionality, which I should think would be a pretty significant adaptive advantage.

Human cell nuclei, by contrast, are quite roomy - by a virus's standards, practically palatial, given that the largest known viral genome is about 0.03x the size of a human one. As it is, all our chromosomes fit into the nucleus with a good deal of space left over, and still could do even if considerably larger than they actually are right now. So, while a mechanism like you describe certainly could evolve, it'd be under no special pressure to do so.
Maybe in previous generation. Millennials/Gen Z doesn't care much.

Longfellow was the great American lyric poet of the 19th century. The chestnut tree in question was an American chestnut, without a doubt. Thought it was a clever choice of quote, myself.

Longfellow was fond of trees. One fragment of his poetry I will always remember is "This is the forest primeval, the murmuring pines and the hemlocks", which my main lesson teacher in elementary school taught us as an example of dactylic hexameter. It is also the first verse of Evangeline, probably his best known poem in his lifetime. Now largely forgotten, which is a pity.
Think about the developer tools and systems you use, then think "what would I expect to pay for these?" Chances are the answer is that you'd expect them to be free or you'd find something else. That's what makes it a bad market.
I think that's a compelling argument, but I find I'm still cautious about anything that we're eating, especially as a staple good. It's just extremely difficult to _know_ what the long-term effects of any significant change in diet will be for any creature, and in particular for us humans it's hard to be an outside observer since by definition we don't live long enough to observe multiple generations. There have been a lot of things that science thought were "harmless" or even "good for us" in the 20th century which we later realized was quite harmful. I see no reason to think that we've passed some magic threshold where we no longer make such mistakes.

Or rather, Second Life for Enterprise again. Corporate business sims were briefly a "thing" around 2007-2008, e.g:

They died off shortly thereafter, partially as a result of the financial crisis, and partially as businesses realized there was very little real interest in "the company web site, except with crude 3D models".
Sure, nothing you said really disagrees with my summary.
My mother lives in country australia and had pancreatitis it seemed. Hospital, cat and mri’s, spent a week in hospital, sent home, returned after pain returned. More tests, it was decided she should be sent to a larger regional hospital for biopsy. Flew by Lear jet, drove by road home I guess about three hundred miles. Advise was a Whipple procedure. I wasn’t inclined to agree for reasons I won’t go into. I declined before second opinion from brisbane world class surgeon. He agreed. Flown commercial to brisbane. More mri’s and cat scans. Acinar cell carcinoma suspected. No need for full duodenectomy. Hospital stay and operation. After care and so on. Total cost zero.
I live in the US. Healthcare here is a grift. The wife did medical billing, mostly reconciling and working all the codes. It’s a complete mess
That’s not true, those are two different things. Requiring 100x the total number of possible stakers is 100x lower. Versus if the price increases 100x, that means the same number of possible stakers is possible, but it’s now 100x more expensive to do a 51% (or whatever the PoS % needed is) attack.
It supports LFS too. I use it for my Unity hobby projects, because I'm already paying for my VPS (which has tens of gigabytes of space), so paying GitHub for extra space would be silly.

Seems like Firefox doesn't have this feature yet either?

Not having even tried out applying relativistic gravitation to any galaxy at all, when the numbers seem to show a significant effect, is an enormous omission. Even if this doesn't wholly pan out, you and your colleagues have all failed at your job. Their failing in no way absolves you.

It is not necessary for the result to match observations in any but a sampling of galaxies. In particular, they don't need to explain any other phenomena than rotation curves. With those matched, it will be your and your colleagues' responsibility to show why those galaxies lack the dark matter all galaxies are supposed to have, and to explain how your cosmic background curves accommodate the painfully clear lack of sufficient expected dark matter.

The number of galaxies found to have no room for dark matter will only increase.

If your theory accommodates any random amount of dark matter equally well, that removes dark matter from the list of reasons to believe it, and makes having promoted that as a reason a fib.

In Debian, libqt5webengine5 is security-support-limited:

> qtwebengine-opensource-src No security support upstream and backports not feasible, only for use on trusted content

The fact that Firefox and Chromium are kept up-to-date with security patches represents a carve-out from the normal Debian security process (ability to build without fully packaging the dependencies).

This may also be partly related to Qt's security backports only existing on commercial LTS branches and not the public LGPL branches.
I thought ZeroHedge was banned from HN
I see several use cases for something similar to this, especially now that 'firefox send' has been discontinued.

sharing homemade pics and videos that include nakedness or even controversial things are not best done via the big tech centralized solutions. Same with sharing non-homemade videos or music.

Other use cases come to mind for sensitive business comms and others.

I did not watch the video you mentioned about how it works - but scanning a few pages about the product I did not see anything about end-to-end encryption - so this product seems to not check off the needed boxes to do well what I think the use cases could be.

I also checked the pricing and feel that it does not lend itself to my trust cases either - free is nice but no skin in the game for sensitive things? I also generally do not invest in monthly/yearly pricing schemes - I like an option to buy once and use version X forever with self hosting options.
So my initial curiosity about the title and considering use cases is left with disappointment - although I do think something similar could be made and sold.

Interestingly "bitwarden' is also currently in the top couple pages of HN and it sounds similar, but looking into it - it's not.. but it does mention E2E - and mentions a self hosted option - although my initial poking around makes me think it's not for files just a passwd manager.

So that's 0 for 2 for me today, thinking by looking at the headlines someone may have created a friends only auth / E2E dbox / Firefox send replacement.

Use cases exist, and the big name options are not as private as many would like / use. I know reasons.. but still one can hope :)
Databases are particularly hard because it’s the bedrock of your persistent state. Trust grows like compound interest and it’s very difficult for a new player to present enough value to compete at a non-zero price point.
This comment made me LoL but yes there's some steppe ancestry in Indians. But doesn't considerably vary among castes. I guess most of "upper castes" have something like 10% more steppe ancestry on average. Brahmins have established themselves as top because they were priestly caste and not the ancestry. (Indo European migration happened much before caste system formed).

It depends on how large, what temperature, and what type of metal. If there's enough latent heat in the quantity of metal to flash boil a significant fraction of the water, you're going to have a bad time. If you're literally dropping it in the ocean on the other hand, then you'll get a brief but impressive geyser and the fire will go out.

(Unless this is an alkali metal we're talking about. In that case you'll just get a "vigorous reaction" of a size proportional to the quantity of metal. Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc6W6SptLvU)

I don’t know about that. Google Maps (or any “slippy” map) couldn’t work. Instant messaging couldn’t work. Video chat wouldn’t work. Rich document editing wouldn’t work.

I get that some people would like that because they think all those things belong in native apps, but that’s not where the “modern web” is today.

Life is trauma. The more we take on the more punches we take. Let us not let our ambitions be weapons against ourselves. Leadership takes wisdom based on experience and learning.

The adrenals are the alarm, and the thyroid is the gas pedal. Trauma can offset both.

But yes, life and work is tough unless we have balance and willingness to grow from pain.

And how does the ethereum network differentiate two people with different wallets and one person with two wallets? Short of attaching some sort of real world identity to ethereum wallets it's impossible to tell whether someone controls 51% of staked ETH because it's trivial to split that up.
ETH, and any cryptocurrency for that matter, has never been “decentralized” in terms of development. There are always a few guys making all major decisions, and it’s hard to oppose them other than making a forked currency.
It's more complicated than even that. People who were born after the 1997 handover, and thus have had no real experience with British times, tend to be more supportive of the British than older people who have seen both sides.
> alloca and C99 variable-length arrays

I remember making an argument on a mailing list against using alloca on the grounds that there's usually a stack-blowing bug hiding behind it. As I revisited the few examples I remembered of it being used correctly, I strengthened my argument by finding more stack-blowing bugs hiding behind uses of alloca.
You're getting downvoted but you're right. Ideally, we'd live in a world where highly sophisticated multinational cartel like entities don't regularly abuse markets to launder their ill gotten gains and finance their operations.

Perhaps your downvoters (and mine too) in this thread would like to argue that it's a slippery slope akin to surveillance to accept AML laws which a priori purport to protect us from the effects of these crimes while only taking freedom further away and creating more space for despotic selective enforcement. I'm sympathetic to this argument, but only to a point. Another side to this argument is that AML laws should be resisted not just because they are right or wrong, but because they are ineffective.

My problem is while I may have sympathies to these ideas in theory, in practice, proactively addressing, enforcing and prosecuting money laundering is something just about every government has a vested interest in doing because governments fund themselves through taxation. I can understand the desire to limit government AML overstep and surveillance, but wouldn't that simply mean that we leave AML enforcement and surveillance to the private markets? Would it mean we somehow reform society so there would be no nee for money laundering in the first place because we've eradicated criminal enterprise in the first place?

I'll be the first to admit I don't have an answer for you. I'd say I wonder if the downvoters do, but I think we both know the answer to that.

As an observation, performance optimized code is almost always effectively single-threaded these days, even when using all the cores on a CPU to very efficiently process workloads. Given this, it is not clear to me that Rust actually buys much when it comes to parallel programming for the purposes of performance. Is there another reason to focus on parallelism aside from performance?

This reminds me of when I use to write supercomputing codes. Lots of programming language nerds would wonder why we didn’t use functional models to simplify concurrency and parallelism. Our code was typically old school C++ (FORTRAN was already falling out of use). The truth was that 1) the software architecture was explicitly single-threaded — some of the first modern thread-per-core designs — to maximize performance, obviating any concerns about mutability and concurrency and 2) the primary performance bottlenecks tended to be memory bandwidth, of which functional programming paradigms tend to be relatively wasteful compared to something like C++. Consequently, C++ was actually simpler and higher performance for massively parallel computation, counterintuitively.
