I was a bit sceptical, but I have to say that the horizontal workspaces work pretty well. Working with GNOME 40 is both efficient and aesthetically pleasing. And as a side note performance is much better too on Fedora 34.
Walter has plans to add ownership and borrowing to D https://dlang.org/blog/2019/07/15/ownership-and-borrowing-in...

Not sure what the current state is.
No, but situations where it would make sense for me to pursue a court case over a license violation are hypothetical.

Look at Oracle vs Google - Multibillion dollar companies, getting advice from the absolute top legal experts, yet they still can't agree on what is and isn't allowed by law. And getting an answer for that has taken over a decade and an eyewatering amount of money.

Now imagine I'm a Finnish developer living in South Korea who released code under an American-written license, and a Russian company infringed on it.

It's inconceivable that I'd choose to take huge personal risk and expense, sacrificing years of my free time, pursuing litigation over something I was trying to give away for free anyway.

That's not to say people can't do this stuff if they enjoy it - by all means, collect some katanas if that's your idea of fun!
for me personally, it's slower to load and seems to have more issues. There's a good chance if new reddit is struggling to load, old.reddit.com loads just fine
This is not a stab at you or your comment. I think your message is valid and I agree with it. However, I do believe there's a common misconception in here that needs to be highlighted if hoped to be fixed.

> which is fundamentally contradictory to free speech and American values

Freedom of association is a deeply American concept. Within certain parameters, I can ban anyone I want from my business.

The problem here is that certain entitled people feel entitled to use other peoples' property as their own.

Also... just noting that many of those same users went on to do arguably the most unAmerican thing in American history - they attempted to end it.

You can spit and puff all you like, but I won't be listening to a word you have to say about who is and isn't acting in the American tradition.
If you think that "democratic" countries do not troll and muddy waters I have a bridge to sell.
Yeah, and IMO if someone is running an auto shop out of their garage it would be better to go after that with things like licensing or zone enforcement for using their house as a commercial property. The arguments for laws like banning repair of vehicles on residential properties seems like trying to make something that's already illegal extra illegal. Ding the people for illegal modifications or running an unlicensed/improperly zoned commercial operation, don't screw over the people just trying to save a few bucks by using their own labor.
> I get where you're coming from, but to the users of the_donald, it wasn't a meme subreddit. They thought they were the main reason he got elected in 2016 and were looking forward to playing a similarly pivotal role in 2020.

That sounds exactly like what a Donald Trump meme subreddit would say.
The problem isn't just that spez had an act of weakness - it's that reddits admin tools have built in features to modify comments. Meaning they're using that feature more than just this singular time.

Hey your formatting here might be screwed up. The second paragraph appears to be a continuation of the quoted paragraph - and what a paragraph it is.

> Are you really going to invent whole other systems and processes to try to minimise how much you're using the one that you already have...

In this situation, there would likely arise a culture of "don't do extra queries". The people who can close a ticket in less queries gets to brag about cost savings at the next salary review, even if such a practice is detrimental.

Its not about being stingy, its about the user experience. Even if it is the exact same $/month, charging upfront is a better experience and sets up better incentives than nickel and diming the customer throughout the month.

I have gone through this exact thing with AWS. Where I work uses AWS, but the "pay as you go" model creates a sort of adversarial relationship. We have engineers creating tools that finds the cheapest instances given certain parameters. We have people spending time tuning configurations and build jobs to be as cheap as possible to run. Yes, it is worth it for the company to pay someone to 'optimize' our use of AWS. And that both lowers the amount of money AWS makes from us, but also makes AWS frustrating to use.

My Samsung monitor (actually a TV) does this, with any spike/dip on the mains line (eg the fridge turning on). I assumed this was just poor quality power circuitry.

Is yours a Samsung too by chance?
The first link is pretty conservative if that's your interest. They sometimes share good leads to information/news from primary sources, which is pretty useful imo. Especially stuff that is not reported on or shared outside of conservative circles. For example, links to the uncut bodycam footage of the George Floyd incident as soon as it was leaked by the Daily Mail. As always it's best to be skeptical of the information you hear online.
If you dont mind sharing the name of the VC? Email in my profile.
But it's the name of a public figure (outside of the admin role)
Hmmh, did they? If so, they (or rather that article) didn't explain it well. It rather seemed that scientist discovered a mechanism by why the human brain grows so much larger than the one of the great apes, but no explanation is offered as to why it does. What's the evolutionary advantage of having such a large, energy consuming organ?
>that Reddit employees have the ability to edit messages with no audit trail and no governance.

Help me understand this. Reddit is a private company. Is there some sort of contract somewhere that says they won't edit messages and will maintain an audit trail? I mean, I might not like that they are doing it, but I'm also not paying a dime for Reddit (and I have all ads blocked, so they doubly aren't making any money off of me) so I don't see where I can be upset if Reddit does this. You get what you pay for.

If we want governance and audit trails, it either needs to be maintained as a public resource, paid for out of tax dollars, or needs to be a fully paid for product that involves entering into a 2 way contract. Otherwise, I think they are free and clear to do whatever they want to do with any subreddits, posts, or comments.
Not only are they GUI themes, some desktop environments come packaged with different utility software. (e.g. Gnome comes with GTK-based utility software like Gedit, and KDE comes with KDE-based utility software like Kwrite.

Normal people don’t do that, so it makes you look pretty suspect!
I think Raku is still quite a bit slower. But I am not up-to-date with the latest state. However, this is "just" a matter of optimization of the interpreter over time. It's just that Perl 5's interpreter had a head start of more than 25 years.
Oppression/Critical consciousness... and it's not 'Who', but WHO. -- I'm just the messenger here, don't shoot!
It's not too difficult. There is a fair bit of bureaucracy, so I would recommend going through a lawyer here. The essential requirements are a fair bit of documentation (birth certificate, marriage certificate if appropriate, and your FBI report) each of which have to be apostilled and submitted within six months of the first documents date. Then once you've submitted all your paperwork you'll go in process, after which you won't need to leave the country every 90 days to renew your visa.

Once you've been approved, if you're going to be in the so-called "rentista" category (i.e. not retired, but not working in Costa Rica) you need to show proof of bringing in at least $2,500/month to the country for 24 months. That can be done by transferring $60,000 into a bank here, which will dole out the $2,500 to you every month, or, in some cases, you can provide a different proof of guaranteed income.

After three years you can apply for permanent residency, which at that point is more a formality, and is pretty automatic unless you end up with a police record or some other issue.
It was so close they could have made an impact. The Clinton email address / wikileaks dumps were being mined as a collective in the forum. That probably brought to light some emails the press would have ignored.
Why are there no US political parties advocating for the dissolution of the US?
It's a good point, but still not something that I think that can be solved by opening up app stores.

My issue isn't that those apps aren't available for Linux. Even if they were available for Linux I wouldn't install a bank app with those permissions. I wouldn't install that on my primary Android phone (I guess there's a good likelyhood I couldn't, since I run rooted Android).

I'm not sure what I would do in that position. Maybe get a separate phone just for banking? I don't know, it's really tough. I sympathize.

But yeah, the Pinephone is not going to solve that problem, banks would need to move over to open standards for authentication through apps that are trustworthy. Just releasing their apps for a smartphone wouldn't be enough. At least any "security software" that can run on desktop Linux can also be run on your phone, assuming it doesn't freak out over the hardware, and assuming you're willing to tolerate it.
Should the process not be completed before you hit "submit". There is no need to simulate a live conversation.
Do regular phones (android, iPhone) typically support this band?
not all things that need to be fabbed are cpu/gpu components though, there are plenty of other things that need fab space.
You caught that, eh?

I am not from the "inner city", and this conversation was pretty dumb. Most of them are.
Agreed, between latency and terrible quality I always hate when people dial in to Zoom/Teams. It always sounds like the person is talking through a sweater from the moon.

What makes it worse for me is they never seem to notice, and if you tell them they immediately go "oh, is that better?" and then they stop talking. How are we supposed to know if it's better...?
In order:

1. Free Hong Kong, revolution of our times

2. Hong Kong people, add oil (basically a statement of encouragement)

3. Five demands, not one less

4. There are no rioters, only tyranny

5. The Hong Kong Police know the law, yet break the law (I haven't seen this one around in many English-speaking circles so I can't really give an accurate translation from the eyes of HKers)

These were basically the slogans used by the protestors back in 2019. Unfortunately, saying any of these is now considered an "act of sedition" by the Hong Kong government, after the passing of the National Security Law last year.
FWIW, I do suspect cross-immunity will eventually explain a lot of mysteries of this virus, including why the Asia-Pacific region has been so lightly-hit compared to Europe and the Americas. So I do agree it's possible that weaker population immunity in more distant regions more than offsets less frequent spillover, and paradoxically makes them the more likely regions for an outbreak (although that's not what experts including Zhengli Shi had originally guessed).

But there's lots of other distant cities in China too, and none of them have virology institutes with the world's biggest collection of novel SARS-like viruses. So whatever your prior was for lab accident vs. natural, I do believe the location in Wuhan should significantly increase that. Certainly far from conclusive, but a possibility that requires serious investigation.
God is closer to being real now more than any other time. Certain forms of prayer work now! Pleas sent on social networks occasionally (and capriciously) effect dramatic changes in peoples lives.
Do you know why you can't beseech the oracle, "O wise Oracle, <insert query here>?"? Because it only responds to "Hey google..".
> the fact that Western HN commenters can't differentiate Hong Kong and the CCP

This is not a fact. Do you have a citation?

edit: it's also a pretty vague statement that could be satisfied by finding any two people who "can't differentiate" between HK and the CCP. You didn't say "the majority of Western HN commenters".
This also helps on Pale Moon, if anyone other than me is still using it.
Though the verbiage in the article is questionable, it is concerning the amount of “anti-FUD” (for lack of a better term, unreasonable confidence in safety) there is around Marijuana. Absence of scientific data demands that we respond with a neutral attitude at best, but many advocates are unreasonably positive despite huge potential for harm.
I suppose, but how realistic that really is on a scale this large? Wouldn't it be just a giant prisoner's dilemma? Unless almost all parties collude, it's still optimal to bid truthfully.
Ask HN: Number of Meetings per Week?
Hello HN!

I joined a company where meetings can take a lot of my calendar time. I'm working as a software engineer. To give you more context, I can spend between 15h to 25h in meetings. I feel a little bit frustrated as most of them are useless (weekly update / weekly sync / non-prepared meetings / non-relevant meetings). I'm a little bit afraid to decline them.
Am I the only one in this situation? Please share! :)
What is your role? What kind of meeting do you have? How do you deal with unproductive meeting?
At least this dependency makes sense: mime type parsing is nontrivial and something you'd logically want to leverage a library for. I can't comprehend how somebody could ever have said "I need left padding. I wonder if there's a library for that somewhere?"
Just replace spez and reddit with Zuckerberg and Facebook and you'll immediately understand why it is bad. Just imagine Mark editing your posts. CEOs shouldn't be monkeying around without a transparent changelog with user content.
I use Pepwave gear as well. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

I use the Pepwave Balance 20X with the Cat12 add-on card with four SIM cards installed. AT&T is my primary provider (with a monthly usage limit of 1TB/month, no fair use limits), but I also have two T-Mobile SIMs (with "unlimited" plans, but with fair use cutoff at 50GB/month) and a Verizon SIM (50GB/month). It's a dual radio setup, so AT&T and one of the T-Mobile SIMs are always active, the other two SIMs are for fallback.

I would not recommend using the whip antennas, the roof mounted 4x4 MIMO antenna should be considered a must in my opinion.

Intel can't even solve their 10nm yield problem. Its great to have another foundry but Intel needs to step up.

That would cause systemic problems for the person and almost certain death.

Platelets are filtered out of the blood by the spleen and then stored or cleaned up there. The spleen likely just cleans them up as per instructions from the immune system. On the other side are production problems where your bone marrow stops producing platelets, but that is more commonly due to cancers or cancer treatments.
Yeah, both sides of the political aisle seem to have embraced MMT. Of course, when they're out of power the GOP is critical of deficit spending that they weren't critical of just a few months ago when they had the power.
Infinite grid with just one square
Nope. Reddit has never developed/deployed the tools to clean anything up... today (literally) it's virtually guaranteed that someone on the site is trading child porn, someone else is arranging the sale of illegal narcotics, and someone else is selling sex work in a location it's not legal.

On an unrelated note, isn't spivak a gender?
> admin real names seem like quite a reasonable thing to include in such a regex (unless they're so common it's likely to be an accidental collision or publicly known) which is consistent with Reddit's explanation

The "publicly known" part is the key here. She is a public figure who held prominent political positions. She has her own wikipedia page. There were plenty of news articles featuring her name since forever ago.

>The allegation is that the name was only mentioned in the body of a linked (paywalled) article though

This is imo just a cherry on top.
TL;DW: GPUs are competing for chip production capacity of 2 producers, who seem to be already in stress because of generally increased demand caused by the current situation, so they can't handle demand even a tick above the previously reserved capacities.
Gtk4 already happened. Not sure if Gnome apps to it, however, but I'm pretty sure they'll just break extensions as they've always done. Most use internal APIs AFAIK after all, so they're designed to break.
It sounds like you are just angry at the mere mention of race.

Like we should just go through life pretending like race plays absolutely no factor in any law, human interaction, or bias unless someone says the "n" word or something.

Given our history as a country that seems INCREDIBLY foolish.
Would it be ok if Twitter employees secretly changed people's tweets without informing them?

Downloading and using the XML file as the source for some transformation would produce what is considered a derivative work, which would thereby be covered under the GPL. By accessing the file contents through an "abstract interface" this limitation could be avoided.

As I understand it, because the XML file contains instructions with regard to how and where to read files for the purpose of discovering their MIME type, those instructions are copyrightable. I could be wrong, as I am not a lawyer.
I would say the title is just using a plain old pun... "double entendre" usually implies there is a way to sexually interpret the phrase
> The code also prohibits individuals to perform repairs which use "tools not normally found in a residence"—another vague term which creates an elucidation of the law, placing it up for deliberation depending on the individual deciphering the legal code.

Dang, it feels like more and more people I know are no longer into fixing things themselves, it almost seems like it'll get to the point where things like hacksaws and ratchets might be included in that vagueness.

I know many people who have garages with an old fridge fridge, a car, and maybe an electric string trimmer that hasn't been touched in several years. If such a garage becomes the norm, just having a screwdriver might be against the law.
Is this a joke? Why would anyone think that any post or comment on a place like Reddit is real or authentic? The entire thing is an anonymous black hole. It is as far from real and authentic as I can imagine anything being.

Is it now potentially true that the old saying "dumber than a box of rocks" is actually a high compliment?

Since I have a lot, too many actually, of fridge magnets picked up on various vacations over the years plastered to metallic objects around my workspace, am I surrounded by artificially super-intelligent placards that spend all their time waiting for a properly formed query before they excitedly initiate a life-changing brain dump of knowledge that I could gain from no other source?

This article was funny. I am going to use this to poke fun at my vegan relatives when they attack my decision to continue enjoying bacon, steak, and tendies.
Accountants & Finance folk control the purse strings and thus what gets developed by those Silicon Valley (and other) software engineers.
This. The article essentially says, "here are a bunch of place people expect sums to add up, what if they don't have to". Fails to propose its own falsifiable theory in exchange.

This is similar to folks who say "Western medicine makes mistakes, so you should try the healing powers of crystals." The point of science is that we know it is wrong, but try to make it less wrong all the time. Economic thought definitely isn't always scientific, but this essay doesn't help.

Hi tomca32,

Thank you for the feedback. I tried to make it accessible to new programmers. I hope it will be used by people how wants to start their programmer's journey.

Being a self-taught programmer, I always suffered from not knowing some very basic notions. I learned a lot in the process of writing those chapters.
The difference is that in the 80s the few people that believed this nonsense were unable to instantly find hundreds or thousands or millions of equally deluded people to reinforce and amplify their beliefs and subsequently amplify the harm they can cause.
