De Re Atari was published by Atari and was a treasure trove of detailed material. I remember buying it (as a pre-teen) and devouring it, trying to imagine “who thought of all this stuff?!”

It didn’t ship with every unit, but any dev could easily get one, given I was able to get one as just an interested kid.

I still remember the magic of writing HBlank interrupt routines to change player-missile positions and colors to “reuse” PMs to get more than 4+4
I have seen numerous cars driving around with months long expired tabs. Right now it isn't being heavily enforced, and these tickets are quite hefty, often several hundred dollars, and are not considered a moving violation. (Seattle, WA, USA)
You're misrepresenting what I said above.

My initial claim: "political belief is caused by personality traits (e.g. orderliness) and brain structure (e.g. amygdala size)".

Which is the same as all other representations I've made. I never said this was an exhaustive list of causes, which would obviously be a ridiculous claim to make. I'm not sure why you keep asserting that I'm changing my view, maybe you can point that out if it's true?

""95 percent" certainty that they cannot"

It's deeply ironic that you're accusing me of misrepresentation when you're throwing out these strawmen.

I never said that I'm 95 percent certain that people can't change their political views. That's a straw man. I said I'm 95 percent certain in my conclusion that there are nontrivial biological causes to political orientation and belief.

I think you're right that we should leave it here.
Sadly, the US locks out all but the wealthiest decile or so from the best investment opportunities.

The huge exception this past decade has been crypto.
I use this pattern mostly on solo projects and small OSS libraries, when working with clients in teams there is usually already a convention in place, most often just `master` and `develop`.

I've never managed to find use in the "complexity" added by adhering strictly to GitFlow (maybe I'm working in too small teams), I don't find it suited to the continuous delivery method. I still use feature branches and hotfixes though.

I much prefer a linear history, and use semantic-release to automate releases via commit message standardisation, which gets rid of the `release/*` pattern.
China and India conduct a huge amount of their economic activity in order to satisfy the demand of people in other places though, i.e. that plastic, coal burning, etc. is mostly on us.
Changing the chromecast — at the time advertised as an "open" streaming standard — to lock competitors out was the first shot. It definitely started with Google.
indeed. i'm leaning on that "at least" pretty hard. i figured establishing that you'd have to spend as much as the prefab'd hardware cost in order to get something that isn't warrantied, and would be the first thing starlink customer service would blame your problems on, would be enough to make this completely unreasonable.
The US has been talking about making DST permanent, which is very different from cancelling it.
I'm not sure why you're trying to refute this.. I don't think Modi & co themselves would deny they're Hindu nationalists
This movie might interest you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wandering_Earth

"In the year 2061, after countless wildfires, volcano eruptions, changes of global temperatures, sea level drops, species extinctions, vanishing cities and protests, the aging Sun is about to turn into a red giant and threaten to engulf the Earth's orbit within 100 years, forcing the nations of the world to put aside their own politics and to consolidate into the United Earth Government to initiate a project to migrate the earth out of the Solar System to the Alpha Centauri system 4.2 light-years away, thus preserving further human civilization, known as the Wandering Earth project."
This is a needlessly complex solution. You will get better performance, with simpler maintenance, by replicating everything into an appropriate analytical database (Snowflake and BugQuery are both good choices). Setting up multiple Postgres database and linking them together with foreign data wrappers is interesting to blog about, but it’s an extremely roundabout way to solve this problem.
I seriously doubt there are many places where principal eng makes as much as vp and 0 for svp. Even at google and aws I don’t really think it’s the case
The GFC does not count. The GFC was caused by (1) bad underwriting policies (banks, AIG) that generated a huge debt overhang and (2) bad and poorly understood dependencies between banks that led to breakdown of the normal flows of assets between the banks.

None of this was in any way dependent on or catalyzed by government money creation. The same dynamic cause the beginning of the great depression in 1929-30 due to excessive margin lending and then runs on banks. At that time the US was on the gold standard.
Signal is not a "covered entity" under HIPAA[1], so they don't need to comply with HIPAA data privacy laws. HIPAA is not a generic medical privacy law, it basically only applies if insurance claims are involved. (The "I" in "HIPAA" stands for "insurance")

If you get a chance, the leather currach which Tim Severin built and sailed across the Atlantic is now on display and can be visited at the Irish Heritage Museum at Craggaunowen, Co. Clare. It's a remarkable vessel and hard to imagine a monk from the 5th century climbing aboard one and sailing across the Atlantic, although stranger things have happened.
Especially since they did this in the 80s, the leather boat punctured, and they had to repair it while emptying the boat in frigid waters. Good times.
How can you convert excess electricity from a hydroelectric power station (which the downstream grid can't handle) into energy for justic/police/law systems? I'm curious.

First four paragraphs were a neutral introduction to the issue.

Fifth paragraph, the author goes really far off the rails of the article's own stated purpose (explaining the NEET phenomenon and lack of possible solutions). He takes extreme exception to one of the subreddit's rules, "No signposting of gender," but he refuses to accept "Running a gender-blind subreddit...[is] good-faith moderation."

Basically, he starts off with a neutral summary of the NEET phenomenon in general, but then gets really angry at a particular subreddit. Insisting that its clearly gender-neutral moderation rule (that literally says "Don't talk about gender here") is indicative of unforgivable gender-based toxicity.

I got sucked in, hoping for an insightful analysis of a tricky social problem, and five paragraphs in, it turned into politicized garbage. Sigh...
Nobody ought to have to pay for linking to content it breaks how the internet works when you get to decide who can link to your content. Just because something would serve as a handle to allow one party to maximize their profit by controlling others behavior doesn't imply we should enshrine such a handle into law.
It would help if the people who realized that also realized that cost is one reason we can't have more. There is no reason that stations have to be large instead of utilitarian (10x the price). There is no reason trains need any operators, much less then 3 often required by law and union contract. There is no reason it takes 24 people to run a TBM (12 is the number in other countries). There is no reason why trains can't run more often. There is no reason "turf wars" mean that two different divisions of the same agency fight each other for limited budget instead of working together for the city.

The above is but a short list of things to attack if you in favor of trains. Note that the above cuts at a lot of things that Democrats - who claim to be in favor of trains hold dear. You will discover that fighting to make trains a better option than cars is harder as a democrat where everyone agrees but wants to put their finger in the pie, than as a republican where everyone isn't interested in trains but might let you get by with a small amount just to keep you quiet (this won't be enough to build a useful system, but it might be enough to prove it can be cost effective)
Wow, your DIY is in a completely different universe than mine.
People have always been able to trade illicit products. The biggest example is drug trafficking. Would you like to become a drug trafficker? Similarly, you may be able to buy cryptocurrency, but if the government doesn't want it you'll be a law breaker.
Well, I'll take your word for it, as it sounds like you have first hand experience and I'm just speculating. But it doesn't feel like this should be the kind of thing that requires a standards committee to be involved— it's literally just a SIM whose ID is mapped on the backend to reject connections most of the time, or be so heavily throttled as to be practically unusable. There's no new protocol needed here, just a profile added to existing traffic shaping/limiting systems, all of which already have time of day awareness in support of commonly-available features like free data after 5pm or whatever.

OTOH, perhaps it's simply a question of an insufficiently large addressable market for non-realtime data like this. Maybe there's room for an M2M-focused MVNO to negotiate a block of off-hours data for dirt cheap and offer this kind of service, maybe paired with some kind managed platform to handle the storage and transmission side.
Vertically integrating space logistics with space products is pretty cool.
We had a PCI QSA who argued that pages that linked out to payment processors were in full scope for PCI, because if compromised, they could be changed to point to a compromised payment entry site. Which logically means that pages which point to those pages are also in scope, all the way up the stack and suddenly everything is in full PCI scope.

Absolutely use a PSP to minimize your wasted effort on compliance activities, but also choose a sane QSA.
You can dismiss any region by ignoring everything they've accomplished.

If you absolutely insist on silly "comparative metrics" though, many areas of the pre-columbian Americas were home to incredibly advanced agricultural civilizations whose productivity far exceeded that of their European contemporaries. This isn't a useful perspective for academic work, but maybe it'll help you come to grips.
Those who have template scripts, docs and KB articles that use master now have to notify everyone to fix that crap.

It's not a free change that's for sure.

To be fair I'd never use Gitlab anyway so their chances to get me to use their service didn't drop.

For those that want to make a permanent change, let's stop talking about "DST". That's too confusing for a lot of people, and results in many favoring the wrong outcome.

We should instead ask people if they want "summertime" or "wintertime" sunrise and sunset.

Wintertime proponents use the animosity against the time change to argue against DST, but they seldom mention this means an earlier sunset.

This comes down to whether you want to enjoy your time before work or after work. Early risers might prefer early sunrise, but business and leisure activities after work benefit from a later sunset.

Very cool & interesting. Also interesting is that only 91 of these craft were built & delivered -- that seems like such a tiny number. And, apparently, only 68 are earmarked to be kept & maintained ('SLEP') it seems:

"All of the planned 91 craft have been delivered to the Navy. A Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) is currently in progress to add 10 years of service life to the craft design life. A total of 68 LCAC will have undergone service life extension by the conclusion of the program in 2021."
Well that's interesting in light of the obvious pro-nuclear bias of HN.

Is a major reason why Indians should trust crypto more. The government can't just make their crypto worthless literally overnight.
Exactly, how a human is supposed to read that?
Outside of a few trolly throwaways, the thread seemed reasonable enough last night. After being unflagged though, it's devolved even further into culture war flaming.

It seems to me HN is just not a community suited to discussing topics that are sensitive to some, but not others. We collectively are not very good at putting ourselves in other's shoes. That's something necessary to understanding the context behind decisions like these - or to at least frame them for discussion.

Sadly this thread has become just one more battleground for a war with no winners. Hopefully the temperature will lower in time, and productive discussion will become possible again. But we're not there yet, and I suspect the early flaggers recognized that.
Sliding sindow effects. Most compression algos don't keep the entire set of files to be compressed in memory, they have a sliding window where the only lok back and ahead X bytes.

The protocol only transmits links to an html page that will be used as a player interface (and can load ads, etc) and a direct video link.

That player interface page was very device specific (e.g. the current youtube page doesn't even work on Gen1 chromecasts with 50-60Hz videos), so Amazon couldn't use those, and only supported the direct links.

Which is not that unusual — youtube could just serve a dash manifest link that directly concatenates ad and video, or build their player page better.

Google actually did it to lock people in to their Chromecast implementation (a lot of third party implementations showed up in the early days), especially for fear of DRM being broken.

We could have had an entire open ecosystem with a single standard replacing mpd, sonos etc working with everything, were it not for those actions Google took (so as a consumer and open source dev, I'm naturally pissed).
Douglas Adams just had a way/understanding of the universe that I am grateful that he was able to share with us. I never did get the hang of Thursdays either.
The code is free speech. Using it is not, however difficult enforcing that may be. Plenty of actions individuals may undertake are outlawed in modern society.
> do I have to pay taxes for the land?
My idea was in reducing all complexities related to the property purchase. Normally you can't buy a land plot in any country having no local id, no local bank account, not to be physically presenting in the country, etc.

Instead of buying property by yourself, you get the property rights transfer operation just once our company bought the property for you.

> Do I pay the tax directly or you collect and pay them?
Our company collects and pays them.

Basically, our company cares about all local taxes during the purchase. Probably your government can force you to pay additional taxes during the property rights transferring (in that the service can include these taxes to the final price, but the price can't be the same for all citizens around the world in that case).

> Do I own a specific piece of land or just some abstract square meters in a big pool?
You own a specific land plot. I could actually even place a webcam to translate the video from your landplot in real time (that probably requires additional annual fee if you want to keep watching it after the property rights transfering; and, unfortunately, there are places out of network coverage).

> What happens if someone enters illegally my land?
> What about flooding or fires? Fixing the fence?
> Is there any additional annual fee for your company?
The original idea requires no additional anuual fee. The property starts to be yours once the purchase & rights transfering finished.
But we could probably offer a post-purchase contract with our partners for additional services like finding a tenant who could rent your land plot, the insurance, etc.
Do you think it would be nice if we included these services during the 1st year in the optional premium price?

> How are I'm sure that you bill buy land that is worth $5-25/sq.m and not some crap land that is worthless?
You can see the lot location, sizes, photos, etc. In the most of countries each land plot has a unique id you can check on the government website.
The final price includes all local taxes and the company fixed %. Buying an overseas property by crypto you take the risks as you would by it by traditional currency.

> How do I sell my land?
Once you have the property rights you can sell your land in any legal way. The idea of that service wasn't in converting your crypto into cash.
That's a bit of an unrelated tangent no? I don't think anyone in this thread was suggesting that force is never warranted.
Twine is a great tool. However like the article mentions, its use cases are limited and honestly fulfill a small niche in the interactive medium.

As a writer, I have a couple stories that I could tell with twine. However, beyond that, I don't really have much use for it.

Which is sad, as it is actually good at what it does.
Disclaimers: It’s inevitable that his political activism will be a topic here, and I’m sensitive to the harm Chavez did, and I may very well be out of the loop.

That said I’m not aware of Chomsky defending Chavez, though I’m certainly aware of him challenging US intervention. And his general stance of non-intervention is often interpreted as support for the would-be intervened regime.

Is there a more clear position of support/defense on record? I know that I’ve been disappointed by some of his later in life positions dismissing Palestinian efforts, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s regressed on other topics, I’m just not familiar in this case. And asking sincerely.
On average, or by percentile? Because I think one is more likely to be revealing than the other.

A 1Mt device might only have a 50% chance of killing 1+ people if detonated at the proper altitude at a random location within the US, (47% of the US is uninhabited) but average 1000 deaths (~6mi lethal radius, US overall population density of 90p/sqmi).
A vertically integrated company owns increasing amounts of production of their end product. Apple is vertically integrated, they have products where they make the CPU, the device, the OS, and retail the devices. But ultimately they only sell the end products.

If Apple were to start selling CPUs, you could argue that they had a similar model, but they don't (and won't because their CPUs are a competitive advantage).

What Amazon and SpaceX are doing isn't vertical integration in the classic sense. While Amazon sells AWS, they also have an online retail platform. Their retail platform consumes AWS services. Similarly, SpaceX is both the supplier of launch services and the consumer of launch services.

Amazon's retail operations are profitable, but by being their own best customer, they help Amazon drive profitability and demand for AWS.
Luckily not chinese otherwise USA may be in trouble. So far only claim Mexico.
We indirectly do know. How does an inflation bug get created? There's either a big in the underlying theory, or there's an implementation bug.

Both of those aspects (theory & implementation) have been audited multiple times by some of the foremost experts in cryptography.
Yep, I think Apple is imposing its own international standards for trademarks, which feels like over-stepping but countries often don't place nice in these business areas. There should be some formal, international way to register your trademark ... oh, right. We have that [1]

Buddy, Cahokia may have had as many people as London. Disease ravaged the Native American population and estimates are that 90% died. History doesn’t start with European arrival.
This isn't always really true.

Some of the worst offenders have been scientists, who promote their own studies (eg, the French hydroxychloroquine studies).

It's possible to pick holes in these studies if you know the field. But these holes aren't pointed out in the papers themselves, and peer review doesn't stop this.

Peer reviewers are experts in the field. So they know if they are looking at a 30 person study it isn't conclusive, and wouldn't expect the author to state that. It's just assumed the readers know that.

We see the real impact of this with things like the Vitamin D studies. Experts know that Vitamin D deficiency is highly correlated with age and other health issues, but that the causation chain is "Person is unhealthy so doesn't get outside as much so gets less Vitamin D, and in some cases are deficient which can make health issues worse". Non-experts read the report and see the causation going the other way, ie, they think: "High Vitamin D fixes health issues".

> what can an individual actually do about it?

Get politically engaged with organisations that are demanding systemic change

EDIT: I don't see what is negative or controversial about this suggestion. The commenter says they cannot do the right thing because of how the system works and what options it makes available to them and at what price. So in that case we must all do work to change the system. The market is currently dictated by many different policies and legislation, causing most things you buy to be artificially cheap or expensive in one way or another. We can change this through policy or other means to make carbon products more expensive -- driving more expensive while clean transit is cheap, inner city housing cheaper than suburban sprawl, etc.
Worth mentioning that Chernobyl is included in this data. If someone has a worse long-tail risk in mind, it would be interesting to hear.

The risk from contamination is certainly below coal, which generates far greater quantities of RAM, with constituents being basically consistent with nuclear plant waste.
It doesn't, as promise resolution and execution is scheduled as new tasks on the main thread, which are only ever run if the currently executing piece of code finishes.
