In all fairness, OP's description of the incident is not very clear. As both a driver and a cyclist, the only situation I can imagine a car driving through a "cloud of cyclists" under any circumstance is an intersection with a second lane for turning left (or right, in left-hand traffic countries).

In such a situation, a cyclist may want to switch lanes to the turning lane, and - of course - would have to indicate the lane change. If no such indication is given, as a car driver, I would expect the cyclist to continue onwards, especially if there are lights that are green. I would not expect the cyclist to swerve out without indication - and as a cyclist, I agree that this is a very dangerous situation for the cyclist, since not only you are swerving out into the direct path of a car, but you also get slower relative to it.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Have you ever held a job at a moderately large corporation or government? A lot of people do very little at work a lot of the time. There are a lot of jobs we don't really need done (“The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy” - I have a lot of relatives working in medicine and this is acutely apparent in that field). The first thing any populist politician promises to get elected is that they will create more jobs.

I believe the truth is that there isn't so much work that needs to be done as to require a large % of society to work 40+ hours a week. It's mostly a fiction because of beliefs like "people need something to do" or that "welfare=handouts, we can have people freeriding".
>The importance of keeping apps and OSes up to date and avoiding suspicious websites still stands. Unfortunately, neither of those things would have helped the victims hacked by this unknown group.

Disabling Javascript would have helped. You can even use tools like uMatrix to set exceptions per site so you're not exposing yourself to every single site on the internet by default. Though you won't see online news sites suggest this since their revenue is so tied to Javascript being enabled.

Emacs crashes on me once a month or so. I'll just be typing something and suddenly it will disappear. I have two theories,

For me the biggest problem with Rust is its so darn complex. I recently had to modernise a few ancient CLI tools and knew it was a case of Rust vs Go.

I knew neither language, but try as I might I just could never get going with Rust. The syntax is obscure, the concepts are complex. There is also no real IDE for Rust.

Meanwhile Go was much quicker to get working code with, and when combined with the excellent Jetbrains GoLand IDE, my initial spaghetti code was soon transformed into a cleaner and maintainable format. The Go community on Slack is also a great resource.

I personally don't agree. I have coded in C# and TS extensively, and while first-class types available in runtime (especially with generics <cough>though not in java</cough>) is super nice, I think the benefits of looseness of TS overweight the costs. Also, you can always go crazy and use zod or io-ts, but in that road there's always the danger of just writing types and not doing any work because "typing is fun"(c).
My Hospital’s Covid Failure
Westeros is Poorly Designed. (2016)
I spent my early phd years working on the missing baryons, and it's a really interest topic. Theoretically the problem is solved, and hopefully in the next few years newer X-ray telescopes and local FRB detections will confirm the these predictions which are - the baryon's aren't missing, they are just residing at temperatures and densities which are currently hard to detect. I think the research problem should probably be termed "the unobserved baryons", since nobody believes they are missing, but unfortunately academia loves sensationalism as it leads to funding and citations.
But is this really fair for those who pay? Selecting out high risks will benefit the majority of people with low or no risk because interest rates will be lower.

The reason why general computing sites don't recommend it is because users won't be happy when they can't sign into their bank or use other websites they wish to use.

The average user doesn't know anything about how sites are constructed. Telling them to use uMatrix is non sensical.

Though that's not to say there's good advice on these kinds of sites.

I've seen a "Windows 10 tips" list from a very popular site telling users that "they don't like being patronised about their own computer" and recommends turning off UAC (Essentially running their account as root)

Or even saying that updating your OS is frustrating so here's how to disable it.

Absolutely dangerous advice but that's the level of general computer sites.
What podcast hosting provides the best analytics?
Hi, Hacker News!

I used to host my podcast files and check the hosting's AWStats to track listens, then moved to DigitalOcean Spaces — which provides no analytics at all — and have to stick with tracking web plays with Google Analytics, and rely on the stats provided by Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

One of the main reasons to move to a podcast hosting platform is richer analytics, and I'm trying to figure out which one is best.

Which one would you recommend and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

=)

“Strangling them”?

You mean taking back the thing they aren’t paying for?
I lived in Kenya for a while (admittedly several decades ago). Typically what would happen was the electric company would send a letter with the month's bill out, and then the next day (before the letter arrived) they would send out a technician who would pull the main fuse out from the meter, cutting you off. Trying to argue the point ("You haven't paid your bill" - "We haven't received a bill") was futile. After this happened a few times, we just kept the gate locked.
Well, he can always lodge a complaint with the Spanish government, if he likes. However, "a third party doesn't approve of this, maybe, but can't be bothered to object for themselves" would not generally be taken seriously as an objection to _anything_. Spain's a secular democracy and is under no obligation to defer to what some people think a putative deity thinks.

As popularly depicted, he probably wouldn't be too excited about gay marriage, either, or, if you take Leviticus seriously, mixed fabrics. Should Spain ban those, too?

This is a serious issue which should be carefully considered, but I'm not sure that the religious argument (certainly this rather simplistic case of "some entity might disapprove") should really have any standing.
Just want to leave something here:

>the DMCA repeat infringers clause requires that companies terminate relationships with people that repeatedly get DMCA takedowns.

AFAIK there is no clause that protects the reverse process to this: copyright holders can just bulk file bullshit claims without consequences. As usual, it's the big corps that are favored by such laws at the expense of the individual.

Also

> monetization split

exists only for ad-revenue, which is split between YouTube and creators. That doesn't apply to copyright claimed material, where all money goes to the copyright holder, no question asked whatsoever.
This highly depends on if the newcomers are immigrants or refugees (not a refutation, just an aside to your comment).
I think you're being overly dramatic. Humans will not go extinct due to this apparent drop in birthrate. If we lost 10% of the world population every 50 years for 500 years straight, we'd still have one third the current population. I.e. billions of people. I.e. more than 100 years ago. I see no reason to feel anxiety for our species. I'd recommend reserving that for the rest of earth's species.

Thank you for saying that. I'm one of first in 2005/2006 advocating JS rendering in the browser. JS in the browser has really gotten out of hand. I no longer advocate to do everything on the client/browser side. A web site should just work without JS.
Big labels are churning music at an unprecedented rate as if they wanted to copyright all possible combinations of chords / melodies (that universally sound good). At one point in the future it won't be possible to upload any new music without having to pay those label or just being outright censored.

That's not true when you're forced to do 10km/h for prolonged periods of time (that's hindrance to traffic and you can usually get a fine for that) because you can't safely overtake a bycicle that's going in a zig-zag way on the lane to avoid a myriad of potholes, or because it's an uphill road and it's too physically taxing for the biker, sice he choose the wrong vehicle for the wrong road.

That's only stress and useless danger for everyone involved.
Rust is pretty stable. The point is that the work on Rust is happening so fast it's getting impossible to keep track of releases whilst making sure that your code doesn't go obsolete.
Oh yeah. In that case, I did try that, but for whatever reason it didn't perform well or I wasn't happy with the look. (It was probably performance).

The official CLion plugin for Rust is phenomenal, and almost feels like a first class IDE nowadays.

I appreciate Rust is more complex than other languages and much less easier to pick up and learn on the job though. It definitely takes a lot of practice to get to the point where traits/lifetimes/ownership etc feel like brilliant tools rather than needless complexity.

> There's problems on both sides equally.

No, it's not. A driver is driving something lethal that kills thousands each year. Don't try to pretend a cyclist being remotely close to a driver when it comes to severity of the actions. It's not a "one-sided view", it's the truth that drivers are far more dangerous than cyclists. If 99 scientists says something and one quack says something else, the truth isn't somewhere in the middle, you know.

> but misses the whole point of the actual problem completely

True, that cyclists need better infrastructure and similar stuff. What also misses the point is to start devil's advocating that "cyclists are just as bad".

I don't think that would enter a race condition.

1. All the zones start precomputing the checksums using a worker pool. Changes are fed into the pool with the change time stamped. The workers don't store the checksum if a newer checksum is already present.

2. The zones enter the lock/critical section. At this point new changes are no longer added to the work queue and must wait until the lock exits. The worker pool continues to process the queue.

3. The work queues are empty and the checksums are compared between zones. Those that match are "locked in" and those that don't are set aside for the next time the zones enter the lock/critical section.

4. The zones exit the lock, a timer starts, and step 1 starts again.

At no point here would there be a race condition. As long as non-matching changes are pruned and retried in the next cycle, progress will be made. In certain conditions the retries could degrade overall performance but consensus is eventually achieved and the system continues to make progress.
There isn't a shared understanding, people's intuitions disagree.
Totally subjective, but for me Rusts symbols seem like a good trade-off, where the readability cost paid is worth the gained expressiveness. In comparison, Perl has a terse syntax that harms readability more than it helps in other ways. Again, that's subjective.

Apart from that, Perl is not a substitute for Rust or vice versa, regardless of the amount of typing involved.
Predatory is only a thing if you don’t believe in treating people as adults. I mean, people are free to smoke, drink excessively, sell their bodies for sex (in some countries), participate in clinical trials, etc.

I have no issue with requirements that loans conform to some standard the average person can understand, but saying “you can’t be trusted to determine if a loan is right for you” is too paternalistic.
People who think this should be banned don't realize that people who really want the phone can get into even worse arrangements to directly get cash to get the devices. In India it is not uncommon for poor people to get loans that are at about 10-20% per day interest rate. The incentives and dynamics behind this are quite interesting but suffice it to say that just banning this is unlikely to improve the conditions of the people who want these devices and may even make it worse.
High taxes mean people are unable to save enough money to provide a foundation for children - to provide them with better life they had. Only motivator some countries give is child benefit, but that's only an incentive for people to whom it is a lot of money.
When you have several users all brigading with the same propaganda (on the lines of "you always have a choice, ayn rand is my hero!") as if it was an undeniable truth, I have to face that. It's unavoidable, and not name calling. I precisely wrote about the argument, not the user.
Rate of features added being high could be directly proportional to our code going obsolete sooner than later. Wouldn't it?

I also understand that Rust is quite backwards compatible which is good but a planned better version of releases would be easier for everyone to keep track, update codes, etc.

I can understand it though; if you're on the ball (and you should be, because people have been burned by trying to update things after years of changes), every six weeks you'll get this ping, you need assess what changed and whether you need to take action.

Contrast this to e.g. Go, which has a ~6 month update cycle, and most of the updates are boring. The main thing relevant to me personally for Go's recent 1.16 update is embedding files, and that's more of a "I can use it when I get to it" thing. Rarely does a Go update require action on my part, and since I started using it full time January last year, I've NEVER had to change any existing code. Neither required, nor because the language has solved something more clever.

Granted, that could be considered a bad thing, and I wouldn't mind some additional features to reduce the amount of code I have to write and maintain, but still.
Maybe this is why Zig might end up being a better choice for embedded and very low level programming, as an explicit competitor to C.

To use your logic about "everyone hating cyclists" (which is not true, but believe what you want..):

If traffic with cars+cars have thousands lethal accidents, cars+cyclists have lots of lethal accidents, but cyclists+cyclists have almost no lethal accidents, isn't it worth investigating? Maybe the problem here is the cars on the road. Hmm, removing them is probably a good idea.
Most of those bugs were in font rendering.
This is just extremely entitled complaining, IMO. The edition system already deals with this.
When are we going to realize that any lending with expectation of profit (usury, interest, etc.) is predatory? There's a reason that these loans are prohibited in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Yet, we keep thinking that there can exist the phenomenon of lending for profit, and keep a society going without its destructive behaviors. Time and time again it's shown to be parasitic and causes huge inequality.

Love "The Mom Book" and the whole Lean Startup approach.

However, there is one bureaucratic problem. It's not easy to do presale. Not sure how it works in US, but in Ukraine, where my bank is, it freaking hard to accept payments online.

I have to go through a whole bunch of verifications processes to start accepting payments on my website or app. And the verification is done by internet acquiring service provider as well as Master Card. First one is not interested in startups with next to none revenue, the latter one is not interested in anything that reviewer doesn't understand. For instance, the guy who reviewed my last project was unable to comprehend what is "Browser extension". I don't think

How can I do presale? At this point I don't care about service fees much. I just want to validate my idea by accepting prepayments from people who tell me that they want to buy my product.

I have 2 means of accepting legal payments from abroad companies: Payoneer and SWIFT transfer. Paypal is illegal for some f*king reason.
